ATTACHMENT RE: TURKEY POINT UNITS 3 5 4 DOCKET NOS. 50-250, 50-251 IE INSPECTION REPORT 81-28 FINDING:

Technical Specification 6.8. 1 requires the licensee to establi'sh and implement procedures that meet the requirements and recommendations of ANSI N18.7 - 1972 and Appendix "A" of Regulatory Guide 1.33.

Contrary to the above, while the reactor head was removed for refueling, the licensee did not implement two procedures in accordance with the requirements of ANSI N18.7 - 1972.

1. Operating Procedure 16200 requires items that could fa'jl into the reactor to be kept off the manipulator crane and clear of the reactor cavity.

equality On November 17, 1981, miscellaneous, untethered tools and materials were observed on the manipulator crane.

2. Procedure 2.10 requires material accountability to be applied when misplaced items could be detrimental to the safety function of a system. On November 17, 1981, a system of material accountability had not been established for items entering the refueling area.

RESPONSE

1. FPL concurs with the finding.

2. FPL did not previously, interpret equality Procedure 2. 10 to require material accountability to be necessary in the refueling area.

3. The immediate problem was resolved when refueling was completed.

4. In order to pr event recurrence, FPL wi 1 1 impl ement a materi al.

accountability program as required by guality Procedure 2.10.

5. Full compliance will be achieved prior to the post steam generator repair fuel loading on Unit 3. (Which is now scheduled for February 20, 1982).

FINDING:

Paragraph 14.2. 1 of the Final Safety Analysis Report states that assumptions used for a fuel handling accident in the spent fuel pit are conservative because the auxiliary building doors are closed during movement of spent fuel.

Contrary to the above, during fuel handling operations on November 17, 1981, doors which lead from the spent fuel pit directly to the outside atmosphere were propped open.

RESPONSE

FPL will perform a safety evaluation of the spent fuel pit doors being open during movement of spent fuel. If the safety evaluation demonstrates that keeping the doors open during spent fuel movement does not involve any unrevi ewed safety questions, FPL will cunti nue our current practice. If not, we wi 11 modify our current practice to remedy the unreviewed safety question. The doors will be closed while moving spent fuel into or out of containment pending completion of the safety evaluation.
