Summary: April 19, 1986 - June 2, 1986 (Inspection Report 50-293/86-14)

A_reas Inspected:

Routine resident inspection of the control room, accessible

parts of plant structures, plant operations, radiation protection, physical

.

L

. security, plant operating records, plant events, maintenance, surveillance,

and reports to the NRC. The inspectors also reviewed actions taken to resolve

concerns documented in Confirmatory Action Letter 86-10 and licensee performance

under strike conditions. A total of 224.5 inspection hours were expended during

i

this inspection period.

Results: Two violations were identified concerning failure to take prompt

corrective action in response to quality assurance findings (Section 7), and

I

failure to control calibration of measuring and test equipment (Section 4). Of

particular concern is the licensee's failure to take timely corrective action

in response to safety significant problems identified by the quality assurance

staff. This weakness appears to be programmatic in nature. Also of concern

is the licensee philosophy regarding performance of safety evaluations. The

failure to complete corrective actions for a previous NRC violation is

i

discussed in Section 2. The lack of a documented conversion factor for radia-

tion survey equipment is discussed in Section 6. Problems with independent

i

verification during the replacement of the reactor mode switch are discussed in

Section 8.

Actions addressed in response to CAL 86-10 were generally well

,

planned and executed.

Licensee response to labor action was thorough.
