(0 pen) CDR 86-93 Process and Root Valves. On April 15, 1986, the resident | |||
inspectors attended a followup meeting with the licensee pertaining to | |||
' | |||
actions taken into the investigation of the Valve Designator List (VDL) and | |||
the Quantity Tracking System (QTS). The results of the licensee's 2000 | |||
valve walkdown were a comparison check of the design requirements to the | |||
warehouse records and the actual valves installed in the plant was also | |||
presented during this meeting. In conclusion the licensee presented actions | |||
to be taken as a result of their investigation to date. This item continues | |||
to remain open until final corrective action is implemented. | |||
' | |||
. | |||

5. Allegations | |||
a. During the course of an inspection, the inspector conducted a review of | |||
GPC Quality Concern 85-V-0490 and found that there were no records | |||
indicating that GPC went into the field and checked if a containment | |||
liner plate was dropped during installation, as was alleged. As a | |||
result, a followup by GPC revealed that a check was made but that the | |||
records were lost. GPC again investigated the allegation finding that | |||
no DRs were written and that no one had ever seen a faulty lift. GPC | |||
also obtained a letter from CB&I, the installing agency, that no | |||
incidents had ever taken place and that a correct installation lift was | |||
made. The inspector was satisfied with the corrective action and final | |||
disposition of the allegation. | |||
b. Allegation RII 84-0169-04, Concerns with the Installation of the | |||
Containment Dome and/or Containment Spray Ring, Unit 2 | |||
The Unit 1 & 2 Containment Dome lifts were classified as major lifts | |||
and were, therefore, required to have QC signoffs. Rigging and Setting | |||
records (HRP-43 and 54) were reviewed in detail. The inspector | |||
conducted personal interviews with the engineer in charge of the lifts | |||
and installations, the QC inspectors and the QC Supervisor, all of whom | |||
visually monitored the lifts and installations of both Containment | |||
Domes (1 & 2). The inspector reviewed movies taken of the Containment | |||
Dome lift and installation (setting in place). In all cases not one | |||
person saw or heard of of any abnormalities with the lift or installa- | |||
tion, such as dropping or bumping the domes. A review of records did | |||
not reveal any abnormalities. | |||
The Containment #1 spray rings were installed in pieces, whereas | |||
Containment #2 spray rings were installed completely assembled as | |||
individual rings (6). All were installed from jack stands while the | |||
Containment Domes were on the ground. The spray ring lifts were not | |||
classified as major lifts, therefore, did not require QC record | |||
signoffs. The inspector conducted personal interviews with numerous QC | |||
inspectors who were present during the lifts in a random surveillance | |||
capacity. A telecon interview was conducted with the Field Engineer | |||
who was present and in charge of the installations. Personal | |||
interviews were conducted with the two Craft Superintendents that were | |||
present and in charge of both lifts and installations. In all cases | |||
not one person saw or heard of any abnormalities with the lifts and | |||
installations of any of the spray ring assemblies, such as dropping or | |||
bumping the rings. Allegation RII 84-0169-04 is considered unfounded | |||
and therefore closed. | |||
c. On April 29, 1986, the inspector accompanied two craft workers for the | |||
administration of a lie-detector test. This action was in response to | |||
their request and with RII approval. The purpose of the accompaniment | |||
by the inspector was one of moral support, not of representation or | |||
technical support. In attendance also were employees of the GPC | |||
Quality Concerns Program, | |||

6. General Construction Inspection - Units 1 & 2 | |||
Periodic random surveillance inspections were made throughout this reporting | |||
period in the form of general type inspections in different areas of both | |||
facilities. The areas were selected on the basis of the scheduled | |||
activities and were varied to provide wide coverage. Observations were made | |||
of activities in progress to note defective items or items of noncompliance | |||
with the required codes and regulatory requirements. | |||
On these inspections, particular note was made of the presence of quality | |||
control inspectors, supervisors, and evidence of quality control in the form | |||
of available process sheets, drawings, material identification, material | |||
protecticn, performance of tests, and housekeeping. Interviews were | |||
conducted with craft personnel, supervisors, coordinators, quality control | |||
inspectors, and others as they were available in the work areas. | |||
The inspector reviewed numerous construction deviation reports to determine | |||
if requirements were met in the areas of documentation, action to resolve, | |||
justification, corrective action, and approval signatures in accordance | |||
with GPC Field Procedure No. GD-T-01. | |||
The inspector attended the following GPC meetings as an observer for | |||
informational purposes: | |||
- | |||
Board of Directors Meeting on April 4, 1986 | |||
- | |||
Monthly Drug Program Administration Meeting on April 24, 1986 | |||
- | |||
Vogtle Personnel Policy Meeting on April 25, 1986 | |||
- | |||
RCS Overfill Event Meeting on April 18, 1986 | |||
The inspector has conducted numerous meetings with the licensee with the | |||
purpose of attaining a more coordinated and real-time status of open items | |||
that are ready for NRC closure. The licensee has implemented a folder | |||
concept whereby all backup documentation necessary for an NRC closure | |||
inspection will be available in one place. Publication of monthly status of | |||
CDR's Bulletins, and Circulars has been added to that of NRC items (e.g., | |||
IFI,URI,etc.). Additional improvements are being considered. | |||
No violations or deviations were identified. | |||
7. Fire Prevention / Protection and Housekeeping Measures - Units 1 & 2 | |||
(42051C) | |||

The inspector reviewed the motor driven and steam driven Auxiliary | |||
Feedwater (AFW) System Preoperational Test Procedure (1-3AL-01 and | |||
1-3AL-02) and the Condensate Storage Tank Vacuum Degasifier System | |||
Preoperational Test Procedure 1(1-3AL-04) to verify technical | |||
adequacy. A review of licensee commitments from applicable FSAR | |||
Chapters, Regulatory Guide 1.68 and the Safety Evaluation Report | |||
was performed and compared with requirements contained in the test | |||
procedure. This included verifying that pertinent prerequisites | |||
were identified, initial test conditions and system status were | |||
specified, acceptance criteria were specified and performed with | |||
management approval indicated. | |||
(3) Chemical Volume & Control System (CVCS) Test - Preoperational Test | |||
Procedure Review (70333) | |||
The inspector reviewed the Boric Acid Blender Preoperational Test | |||
Procedure (1-3BG-04) to verify technical adequacy. A review of | |||
licensee commitments from applicable FSAR Chapters, Regulatory | |||
Guide 1.68 and the Safety Evaluation Report was performed and | |||
compared with requirements contained in the test procedure. This | |||
included verifying that pertinent prerequisites were identified, | |||
initial test conditions and system status were specified, | |||
acceptance criteria were specified, and performed with management | |||
approval indicated. | |||
Based on review of the above procedures and discussions with test | |||
supervisors the inspector noted that some preops do not contain | |||
Negative Logic Testing. Discussions with the licensee's Preop | |||
Procedure Group confirmed that this item had been previously | |||
! identified. The licensee's Preop Procedure Group has identified | |||
! areas where Negative Logic Testing was not initially covered and | |||
! will be issuing them to be tested in the Common Annunciator | |||
' | |||
Preoperational Test Procedure (1-300-15) due to be issued in | |||
approximately one (1) month. This matter will be identified as | |||
Inspector Followup Item 50-424/86-31-02 " Review Implementation of | |||

c. A resident inspection was conducted of the event of April 9,1986, | |||
pertaini'ng to the licensee test personnel inadvertently filling | |||
the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) while performing the filling and | |||
venting of the Residual Heat Removal System (RHRS) Train A. The | |||
. . - _ .- | |||
* | |||
. | |||
. | |||
20 | |||
purpose of this inspection was to review the licensee's actions | |||
4 which led to the event so as to determine, first the root cause, | |||
'; | |||
and second that the licensee's report of the event properly | |||
identified the root cause and corrective action to prevent | |||
reoccurrence. | |||
! The inspector reviewed and examined the following documents: | |||
- | |||
Reactor Operator and Shift Supervisor Logs | |||
- | |||
Memo Dated 4/9/86 from M. Aj1 uni, Operations Supervisor on Shift | |||
(OSOS) to C. Meyer, Operation Superintendent (Acting) (0S) | |||
- | |||
Letter Dated 4/11/86 from D. Schreiber, Operations Supervisor to | |||
All Shift Personnel | |||

Operations Procedure No. 11011-1 "RHRS Alignment for Startup and | |||
Normal Operation" | |||

Responsibilities, and Interfaces" | |||
- | |||
SUM-12C, Rev. 2 "Preoperational Test Implementation" | |||
- | |||
SUM-37, Rev. 0 " Initial Test Program Conduct of Shift Operations" | |||
Background information indicated that the RHR Train "A" was being | |||
placed in service to obtain a RCS sample. The RCS Level was being | |||
maintained at mid nozzle (188' elevation) with the Reactor Vessel Head | |||
; | |||
in place. The Test Supervisor (TS) was in the process of filling and | |||
' | |||
venting the RHRS to support system operation. | |||
During the inspection, the inspector identified the following | |||
discrepancies: | |||
i | |||
- | |||
An approved procedure was not used to fill and vent the RHRS | |||
system but rather verbal instructions were given by the TS to | |||
Operations personnel. It should be noted that the Start-up Manual | |||
does not state that the TS is authorized to direct system valve | |||
lineups by verbal instructions nor to what extent are verbal | |||
instructions authorized. Also, the licensee does have plant | |||
l | |||
procedures in place for filling and venting the RHRS. | |||
- | |||
Plant procedures 11011-1 and 13011-1 are the applicable procedures | |||
for filling and venting the RHRS. However, these procedures do | |||
not address filling and venting the section of pipe between Valves | |||
, | |||
! | |||
l 8701A & 8701B (Train "A"), which was the evolution being | |||
performed. This in turn, led to the inadvertently filling of the | |||
l RCS. Had these procedures been used it would have been discovered | |||
l that these procedures were inadequate for filling and venting the , | |||
i | |||
RHRS in that the section of pipe between the 8701A & 87013 | |||
: (Train"A") and the section of pipe between valves 8702A & 8702B | |||
l (Train "B") were not covered. | |||

21 | |||
- | |||
Per Procedure SUM-37 " Initial Test Program Conduct of Shift | |||
Operations" Paragraph 4.2 the Operations Supervisor On Shift | |||
(OSOS) is responsible for determining off-normal manner when not | |||
covered by a plant procedure or a test procedure; Paragraph 5.5.3 | |||
states in part the TS is responsible for providing written | |||
instructions to the SS when the system condition requires off | |||
normal operation; & Paragraph 6.1,5,2 states "This instruction | |||
should be in the form of a Start-up Operating Instruction, or | |||
standing order. However, the SS responsibilities do not include | |||
asking the TS for written instructions when operating a system in | |||
an off normal condition. | |||
The above condition is an example of failure to prescribe and use | |||
appropriate procedures to control valve lineups for filling and venting | |||
the RHRS, where improper performance could have detrimental effects on | |||
safety-related equipment. This is considered to be in violation of | |||
10CFR Part 50, Appendix 8, Criterion V, " Failure to Establish | |||
Appropriate Procedures to Properly Control the Filling and Venting of | |||
Safety-Related Systems", and will be identified as Violation | |||
50-424/86-31-01. | |||
The inspector noted the following discrepancies pertaining to the | |||
licensee's report of the event and corrective action: | |||
- The Memo Dated 4/9/86 from M. Aj1 uni, OSOS to C. Meyer, OS, which | |||
documented the event was incorrect. This memo contained a drawing | |||
of the valve arrangement which depicted an incorrect valve | |||
configuration (i.e., the 8701B valve is upstream of the 8701A | |||
valve, not downstream as shown in the memo). Consequently, the | |||
description detailing the sequence of events pertaining to the | |||
opening of valves is incorrect (i.e., the 87018 valve was the | |||
valve actually opened which led to the inadvertent filling of the | |||
, | |||
RCS, not the 8701A as stated in the memo). Thus the memo did not | |||
properly document the correct sequence of events pertaining to | |||
which valves were open and in what sequence. | |||
' | |||
- | |||
The letter dated 4/11/86 from D. Schreiber, OSOS to All Shift | |||
Personnel hi-lited " Operator Error". It stated in part that plant | |||
operations is becoming more complex and that this requires each | |||
operator and supervisor to stop and analyze each action he takes | |||
for potential impact and expected as well as unexpected responses. | |||
. | |||
! | |||
It identified two (2) examples in recent months, one being where | |||
equipment was in operation without cooling water and the second , | |||
< | |||
being the RCS was inadvertently filled. This did not properly | |||
l identify the root cause nor did it address corrective action to | |||
' | |||
prevent recurrence. | |||

22 | |||
A meeting was held with the licensee on 4/18/86 to discuss the above | |||
findings pertaining to the inadvertently filling of the RCS on 4/9/86. | |||
Several followup meetings were conducted by the licensee with the | |||
Resident Inspector's Office where the licensee presented a detailed | |||
report containing the sequence of events which led to the event, shift | |||
actions, followup action, NRC concerns / discussion, root cause, and | |||
summary. This report identified the root cause as lack of communica- | |||
tion. ! | |||
Subsequently on May 6,1986 the NRC Resident Inspector's Office was | |||
informed by the licensee that on May 5, 1986, the RCS was again | |||
inadvertently filled. Background information indicated that the | |||
Chemical Volume Control System (CVCS) was being lined up in preparation | |||
for flushing the Reactor Coolant Pump Seals. The TS was in the process | |||
of filling and venting the CVCS to support system operation. An | |||
approved procedure was not used to fill and vent the CVCS system but | |||
rather verbal instructions were given by the TS to operations | |||
personnel. Plant Procedure 13006-1 is the applicable procedure for | |||
filling and venting the CVCS. This is another example of the above | |||
noted violation " Failure to Establish Appropriate Procedures to | |||
Properly Control the Filling and Venting of Safety-Related Systems". | |||
(50-424/86-31-01) | |||
21. Plant Procedures - Unit 1 and 2 (42400B) | |||

Commitments in the 765.XX series pertain to the implementation of | |||
ANSI N18.7-1976/ANS 3.2 " Administrative Controls and Quality | |||
Assurance for the Operational Phase of Nuclear Power Plants". | |||
During the review of commitment numbers 2706, 2707 and 728, the | |||
inspector identified that the i.mplementing documents were not | |||
correct to control the separation of Unit 1 and 2 upon licensing | |||
of Unit 1. For commitment 2706, Procedure 1-500-01 " Initial Fuel | |||
Load Test Sequence" Step 5.20 does not satisfy this commitment. | |||
Commitment 728 incorrectly lists the sections of the actual | |||
procedures verified and appears to be short on scope in that only | |||
two systems out of twenty-three shared systems identified in FSAR | |||
Section 1.2.2.2. have been addressed. From discussions with the | |||
licensee, the overall program has been established to control the | |||
separation of Units 1 and 2, was developed by Southern Company | |||
Services, Inc. and access to the plan will be provided. This item | |||
will be tracked as Inspector Followup Item 50-424/86-31-03 " Review | |||
Licensee Plan for Separation of Facilities and Systems Between | |||
Unit 1 Operation and Unit 2 Construction". | |||
, | |||
Commitments 765.01 and 765.02 concern the designation of positions | |||
! requiring R0 and SR0 licenses and the establishment of minimum | |||
! | |||
staffing levels. Site Procedure 10003-C " Manning the Shif t" and | |||
l | |||
10010-C " Operator Qualification Program" were reviewed. In | |||
discussions with the Readiness Review Team, the inspector was | |||
informed that Procedure 10003-C was only verified to ensure | |||
l | |||
minimum crew levels were specified, but no judgment was made as to | |||
adequacy of the numbers specified. The inspector reviewed various | |||
! source documents of minimum requirements such as 10 CFR 50.54(M), | |||
, | |||
NUREG 0737 I.A.1.3, Generic Letter 82.12 and the Standard Review | |||

Plan. The inspector determined that the procedure does not | |||
adequately discuss minimum manning for a defueled state. Final | |||
minimum shift crew will be established by Technical Specifications | |||
upon license issuance. Inspector Followup Item 50-424/86-31-04 | |||
" Review Minimum Shift Crew Requirements as Implemented in | |||
Procedure 10003-C for a Defueled Status". | |||
In reviewing Commitment 765.06 it was noted that Procedure | |||
00005-C, Rev 1 " Overtime Authorization" allows approval at the | |||
department superintendent level for exceeding the guidelines | |||
instead of the General Manager - Vogtle Nuclear Operations. The | |||
procedure does not specify the paramount consideration that need | |||
be made prior to approval of excess overtime. The procedure does | |||
not control regular overtime to monitor the obtainment of a | |||
40-hour week objective. The procedure references NUREG 0737 | |||
I.A.I.3 which has been replaced by Generic Letter 82-12 and 82-16. | |||
In FSAR Change Submittal Number 22 the licensee has revised the | |||
level of authorization to coincide with the Site Procedure | |||
00005-C. It was noted that this issue will be resolved when the | |||
Technical Specifications are issued. IFI 50-424/86-31-05 " Review | |||
Implementation of Technical Specification Overtime Conflicts with | |||
Procedure 00005-C. | |||
In the review of Commitment 764.01 the inspector noted that the | |||
word " body" had been deleted from the phrase " independent review | |||
body". The listed implementing document, 00402-C " Licensing | |||
Document Change Request" was not correctly verified in that other | |||
procedure reviews were taking credit for implementing this | |||
commitment instead of the " independent review body", namely the | |||
Plant Review Bourd. Procedure 00402-C does not discuss the second | |||
" independent review body" entitled the " Safety Review Board". The | |||
inspector determined that this commitment had not been properly | |||
verified nor implemented. | |||
Procedure 00402-C was also noted as weak regarding the following: | |||
(a) Step 4.2.1 limits the PRB review for potential USQ's | |||
"Unreviewed Safety Questions" vice the full scope of a PRB | |||
review to advise on all matters related to nuclear safety. | |||
(b) The procedure does not coordinate reviews to the SRB. | |||
(c) Section 4.2.9 states in the note "The superintendent of | |||
Regulatory Compliance has 60 days from the date the NRC | |||
approved the change to ensure the change is fully implemented | |||
in the plant activities". | |||
, | |||
- | |||
. | |||
27 | |||
The Readiness Review Team identified Procedure 00001-C " Plant | |||
Review Board Duties and Responsibilities" as the appropriate | |||
document for commitment 764.01. This item will be tracked as | |||
Inspector Followup Item 50-424/86-31-06 " Review Licensee Changes , | |||

During review of the above noted commitments in the maintenance | |||
area, the inspector noted that commitment No. 765.43 referenced | |||
Administrative Procedure No. 00254-C, Rev.1 " Plant Housekeeping | |||
and Cleanliness Control" is the implementing document for ANSI | |||
N18.7-1976 Paragraph 5.2.10. However, in review of the subject | |||

procedure the inspector could not find where the procedure | |||
implemented the statement "Immediately prior to closure an | |||
inspection shall be conducted to assure cleanliness and the result | |||
of such inspection shall be documented "per Paragraph 5.12.10 of | |||
ANSI N18.7-1976. During the review of Maintenance Procedure No. | |||
20427-C, Rev. 0 " Maintenance Cleanliness and Housekeeping | |||
Control", the inspector noted that Paragraph 4.3.5.b.6 addressed | |||
that an inspection be conducted prior to closure. However, there | |||
was no requirement that the inspection results be documented. | |||
This matter will be identified as Inspector Followup Item | |||
No. 50-424/86-31-07 " Review Maintenance Procedure 20427-C for | |||
Incorporation of the ANSI Requirement to Document Closeout | |||
Inspection Results", i | |||
No violations or deviations were identified. | |||
b. During the inspection period, a Readiness Review, Module 17 " Raceways," | |||
inspection was conducted by a RII based inspector. Certain cable | |||
trays, conduits and junction boxes installed in the containment building | |||
were examined. It was discovered that a section of cable tray identified | |||
as IBE 502 TRAA, installed at elevation 184'2", and between column | |||
Nos. I and 2, above grating elevation 184', and below the electrical | |||
penetrations, was damaged. The damage appears to have been caused by | |||
personnel stepping, standing or walking in the tray. The cables in | |||
this tray have been compressed such that they are depressed into the | |||
openings of the cable tray bottom and could possible be damaged. | |||
Specification No. X3AR01, Section E8.7.1, paragraph 5 states " Cable | |||
trays shall not be used as walkways or working platforms. Where trays | |||
are so located that such use is possible or might be attempted, it | |||
shall be prohibited by clear and conspicuous signs, and prevented, if | |||
necessary, by suitable physical barriers." | |||
Contrary to this, on April 17, 1986, cable tray section 1BE 502 TRAA | |||
was found to be damaged as evidenced by the distorted shape of the | |||
bottom and sides. The damaged tray is located such that it should have | |||
been protected by one of the methods defined in paragraph 5 of | |||
Specification No. X3AR01, Section E8.7.1. | |||
This is considered to be in violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, | |||
Criterion V, " Failure to Follow Established Appropriate Procedure to | |||
Properly Protect Installed Equipment / Components" and will be identified | |||
as violation 50-424/86-31-08. | |||

inspectors attended a followup meeting with the licensee pertaining to
'
actions taken into the investigation of the Valve Designator List (VDL) and
the Quantity Tracking System (QTS). The results of the licensee's 2000
valve walkdown were a comparison check of the design requirements to the
warehouse records and the actual valves installed in the plant was also
presented during this meeting. In conclusion the licensee presented actions
to be taken as a result of their investigation to date. This item continues
to remain open until final corrective action is implemented.

5. Allegations
a. During the course of an inspection, the inspector conducted a review of
GPC Quality Concern 85-V-0490 and found that there were no records
indicating that GPC went into the field and checked if a containment
liner plate was dropped during installation, as was alleged. As a
result, a followup by GPC revealed that a check was made but that the
records were lost. GPC again investigated the allegation finding that
no DRs were written and that no one had ever seen a faulty lift. GPC
also obtained a letter from CB&I, the installing agency, that no
incidents had ever taken place and that a correct installation lift was
made. The inspector was satisfied with the corrective action and final
disposition of the allegation.
b. Allegation RII 84-0169-04, Concerns with the Installation of the
Containment Dome and/or Containment Spray Ring, Unit 2
The Unit 1 & 2 Containment Dome lifts were classified as major lifts
and were, therefore, required to have QC signoffs. Rigging and Setting
records (HRP-43 and 54) were reviewed in detail. The inspector
conducted personal interviews with the engineer in charge of the lifts
and installations, the QC inspectors and the QC Supervisor, all of whom
visually monitored the lifts and installations of both Containment
Domes (1 & 2). The inspector reviewed movies taken of the Containment
Dome lift and installation (setting in place). In all cases not one
person saw or heard of of any abnormalities with the lift or installa-
tion, such as dropping or bumping the domes. A review of records did
not reveal any abnormalities.
The Containment #1 spray rings were installed in pieces, whereas
Containment #2 spray rings were installed completely assembled as
individual rings (6). All were installed from jack stands while the
Containment Domes were on the ground. The spray ring lifts were not
classified as major lifts, therefore, did not require QC record
signoffs. The inspector conducted personal interviews with numerous QC
inspectors who were present during the lifts in a random surveillance
capacity. A telecon interview was conducted with the Field Engineer
who was present and in charge of the installations. Personal
interviews were conducted with the two Craft Superintendents that were
present and in charge of both lifts and installations. In all cases
not one person saw or heard of any abnormalities with the lifts and
installations of any of the spray ring assemblies, such as dropping or
bumping the rings. Allegation RII 84-0169-04 is considered unfounded
and therefore closed.
c. On April 29, 1986, the inspector accompanied two craft workers for the
administration of a lie-detector test. This action was in response to
their request and with RII approval. The purpose of the accompaniment
by the inspector was one of moral support, not of representation or
technical support. In attendance also were employees of the GPC
Quality Concerns Program,

pertaini'ng to the licensee test personnel inadvertently filling
the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) while performing the filling and
venting of the Residual Heat Removal System (RHRS) Train A. The
. . - _ .-
.
.
20
purpose of this inspection was to review the licensee's actions
4 which led to the event so as to determine, first the root cause,
';
and second that the licensee's report of the event properly
identified the root cause and corrective action to prevent
reoccurrence.
! The inspector reviewed and examined the following documents:
-
Reactor Operator and Shift Supervisor Logs
-
Memo Dated 4/9/86 from M. Aj1 uni, Operations Supervisor on Shift
(OSOS) to C. Meyer, Operation Superintendent (Acting) (0S)
-
Letter Dated 4/11/86 from D. Schreiber, Operations Supervisor to
All Shift Personnel
-
Operations Procedure No. 11011-1 "RHRS Alignment for Startup and
Normal Operation"
-
Operations Procedure No. 13011-1 " Residual Heat Removal System"
-
SUM-3, Rev. 3 "Preoperational Test Program Organization,
Responsibilities, and Interfaces"
-
SUM-12C, Rev. 2 "Preoperational Test Implementation"
-
SUM-37, Rev. 0 " Initial Test Program Conduct of Shift Operations"
Background information indicated that the RHR Train "A" was being
placed in service to obtain a RCS sample. The RCS Level was being
maintained at mid nozzle (188' elevation) with the Reactor Vessel Head
in place. The Test Supervisor (TS) was in the process of filling and
'
venting the RHRS to support system operation.
During the inspection, the inspector identified the following
discrepancies:
i
-
An approved procedure was not used to fill and vent the RHRS
system but rather verbal instructions were given by the TS to
Operations personnel. It should be noted that the Start-up Manual
does not state that the TS is authorized to direct system valve
lineups by verbal instructions nor to what extent are verbal
instructions authorized. Also, the licensee does have plant
l
procedures in place for filling and venting the RHRS.
-
Plant procedures 11011-1 and 13011-1 are the applicable procedures
for filling and venting the RHRS. However, these procedures do
not address filling and venting the section of pipe between Valves
,
!
l 8701A & 8701B (Train "A"), which was the evolution being
performed. This in turn, led to the inadvertently filling of the
l RCS. Had these procedures been used it would have been discovered
l that these procedures were inadequate for filling and venting the ,
i
RHRS in that the section of pipe between the 8701A & 87013
- (Train"A") and the section of pipe between valves 8702A & 8702B
l (Train "B") were not covered.

Per Procedure SUM-37 " Initial Test Program Conduct of Shift
Operations" Paragraph 4.2 the Operations Supervisor On Shift
(OSOS) is responsible for determining off-normal manner when not
covered by a plant procedure or a test procedure; Paragraph 5.5.3
states in part the TS is responsible for providing written
instructions to the SS when the system condition requires off
normal operation; & Paragraph 6.1,5,2 states "This instruction
should be in the form of a Start-up Operating Instruction, or
standing order. However, the SS responsibilities do not include
asking the TS for written instructions when operating a system in
an off normal condition.
The above condition is an example of failure to prescribe and use
appropriate procedures to control valve lineups for filling and venting
the RHRS, where improper performance could have detrimental effects on
safety-related equipment. This is considered to be in violation of
10CFR Part 50, Appendix 8, Criterion V, " Failure to Establish
Appropriate Procedures to Properly Control the Filling and Venting of
Safety-Related Systems", and will be identified as Violation
50-424/86-31-01.
The inspector noted the following discrepancies pertaining to the
licensee's report of the event and corrective action:
- The Memo Dated 4/9/86 from M. Aj1 uni, OSOS to C. Meyer, OS, which
documented the event was incorrect. This memo contained a drawing
of the valve arrangement which depicted an incorrect valve
configuration (i.e., the 8701B valve is upstream of the 8701A
valve, not downstream as shown in the memo). Consequently, the
description detailing the sequence of events pertaining to the
opening of valves is incorrect (i.e., the 87018 valve was the
valve actually opened which led to the inadvertent filling of the
,
RCS, not the 8701A as stated in the memo). Thus the memo did not
properly document the correct sequence of events pertaining to
which valves were open and in what sequence.
'
-
The letter dated 4/11/86 from D. Schreiber, OSOS to All Shift
Personnel hi-lited " Operator Error". It stated in part that plant
operations is becoming more complex and that this requires each
operator and supervisor to stop and analyze each action he takes
for potential impact and expected as well as unexpected responses.
.
!
It identified two (2) examples in recent months, one being where
equipment was in operation without cooling water and the second ,
<
being the RCS was inadvertently filled. This did not properly
l identify the root cause nor did it address corrective action to
'
prevent recurrence.

A meeting was held with the licensee on 4/18/86 to discuss the above
findings pertaining to the inadvertently filling of the RCS on 4/9/86.
Several followup meetings were conducted by the licensee with the
Resident Inspector's Office where the licensee presented a detailed
report containing the sequence of events which led to the event, shift
actions, followup action, NRC concerns / discussion, root cause, and
summary. This report identified the root cause as lack of communica-
tion. !
Subsequently on May 6,1986 the NRC Resident Inspector's Office was
informed by the licensee that on May 5, 1986, the RCS was again
inadvertently filled. Background information indicated that the
Chemical Volume Control System (CVCS) was being lined up in preparation
for flushing the Reactor Coolant Pump Seals. The TS was in the process
of filling and venting the CVCS to support system operation. An
approved procedure was not used to fill and vent the CVCS system but
rather verbal instructions were given by the TS to operations
personnel. Plant Procedure 13006-1 is the applicable procedure for
filling and venting the CVCS. This is another example of the above
noted violation " Failure to Establish Appropriate Procedures to
Properly Control the Filling and Venting of Safety-Related Systems".

Commitments in the 765.XX series pertain to the implementation of
ANSI N18.7-1976/ANS 3.2 " Administrative Controls and Quality
Assurance for the Operational Phase of Nuclear Power Plants".
During the review of commitment numbers 2706, 2707 and 728, the
inspector identified that the i.mplementing documents were not
correct to control the separation of Unit 1 and 2 upon licensing
of Unit 1. For commitment 2706, Procedure 1-500-01 " Initial Fuel
Load Test Sequence" Step 5.20 does not satisfy this commitment.
Commitment 728 incorrectly lists the sections of the actual
procedures verified and appears to be short on scope in that only
two systems out of twenty-three shared systems identified in FSAR
Section 1.2.2.2. have been addressed. From discussions with the
licensee, the overall program has been established to control the
separation of Units 1 and 2, was developed by Southern Company
Services, Inc. and access to the plan will be provided. This item
will be tracked as Inspector Followup Item 50-424/86-31-03 " Review
Licensee Plan for Separation of Facilities and Systems Between
Unit 1 Operation and Unit 2 Construction".
,
Commitments 765.01 and 765.02 concern the designation of positions
! requiring R0 and SR0 licenses and the establishment of minimum
!
staffing levels. Site Procedure 10003-C " Manning the Shif t" and
l
10010-C " Operator Qualification Program" were reviewed. In
discussions with the Readiness Review Team, the inspector was
informed that Procedure 10003-C was only verified to ensure
l
minimum crew levels were specified, but no judgment was made as to
adequacy of the numbers specified. The inspector reviewed various
! source documents of minimum requirements such as 10 CFR 50.54(M),
,
NUREG 0737 I.A.1.3, Generic Letter 82.12 and the Standard Review

Plan. The inspector determined that the procedure does not
adequately discuss minimum manning for a defueled state. Final
minimum shift crew will be established by Technical Specifications
upon license issuance. Inspector Followup Item 50-424/86-31-04
" Review Minimum Shift Crew Requirements as Implemented in
Procedure 10003-C for a Defueled Status".
In reviewing Commitment 765.06 it was noted that Procedure
00005-C, Rev 1 " Overtime Authorization" allows approval at the
department superintendent level for exceeding the guidelines
instead of the General Manager - Vogtle Nuclear Operations. The
procedure does not specify the paramount consideration that need
be made prior to approval of excess overtime. The procedure does
not control regular overtime to monitor the obtainment of a
40-hour week objective. The procedure references NUREG 0737
I.A.I.3 which has been replaced by Generic Letter 82-12 and 82-16.
In FSAR Change Submittal Number 22 the licensee has revised the
level of authorization to coincide with the Site Procedure
00005-C. It was noted that this issue will be resolved when the
Technical Specifications are issued. IFI 50-424/86-31-05 " Review
Implementation of Technical Specification Overtime Conflicts with
Procedure 00005-C.
In the review of Commitment 764.01 the inspector noted that the
word " body" had been deleted from the phrase " independent review
body". The listed implementing document, 00402-C " Licensing
Document Change Request" was not correctly verified in that other
procedure reviews were taking credit for implementing this
commitment instead of the " independent review body", namely the
Plant Review Bourd. Procedure 00402-C does not discuss the second
" independent review body" entitled the " Safety Review Board". The
inspector determined that this commitment had not been properly
verified nor implemented.
Procedure 00402-C was also noted as weak regarding the following:
(a) Step 4.2.1 limits the PRB review for potential USQ's
"Unreviewed Safety Questions" vice the full scope of a PRB
review to advise on all matters related to nuclear safety.
(b) The procedure does not coordinate reviews to the SRB.
(c) Section 4.2.9 states in the note "The superintendent of
Regulatory Compliance has 60 days from the date the NRC
approved the change to ensure the change is fully implemented
in the plant activities".

area, the inspector noted that commitment No. 765.43 referenced
Administrative Procedure No. 00254-C, Rev.1 " Plant Housekeeping
and Cleanliness Control" is the implementing document for ANSI
N18.7-1976 Paragraph 5.2.10. However, in review of the subject

procedure the inspector could not find where the procedure
implemented the statement "Immediately prior to closure an
inspection shall be conducted to assure cleanliness and the result
of such inspection shall be documented "per Paragraph 5.12.10 of
ANSI N18.7-1976. During the review of Maintenance Procedure No.
20427-C, Rev. 0 " Maintenance Cleanliness and Housekeeping
Control", the inspector noted that Paragraph 4.3.5.b.6 addressed
that an inspection be conducted prior to closure. However, there
was no requirement that the inspection results be documented.
This matter will be identified as Inspector Followup Item
No. 50-424/86-31-07 " Review Maintenance Procedure 20427-C for
Incorporation of the ANSI Requirement to Document Closeout
Inspection Results", i
No violations or deviations were identified.
b. During the inspection period, a Readiness Review, Module 17 " Raceways,"
inspection was conducted by a RII based inspector. Certain cable
trays, conduits and junction boxes installed in the containment building
were examined. It was discovered that a section of cable tray identified
as IBE 502 TRAA, installed at elevation 184'2", and between column
Nos. I and 2, above grating elevation 184', and below the electrical
penetrations, was damaged. The damage appears to have been caused by
personnel stepping, standing or walking in the tray. The cables in
this tray have been compressed such that they are depressed into the
openings of the cable tray bottom and could possible be damaged.
Specification No. X3AR01, Section E8.7.1, paragraph 5 states " Cable
trays shall not be used as walkways or working platforms. Where trays
are so located that such use is possible or might be attempted, it
shall be prohibited by clear and conspicuous signs, and prevented, if
necessary, by suitable physical barriers."
Contrary to this, on April 17, 1986, cable tray section 1BE 502 TRAA
was found to be damaged as evidenced by the distorted shape of the
bottom and sides. The damaged tray is located such that it should have
been protected by one of the methods defined in paragraph 5 of
Specification No. X3AR01, Section E8.7.1.
This is considered to be in violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B,
Criterion V, " Failure to Follow Established Appropriate Procedure to
Properly Protect Installed Equipment / Components" and will be identified
as violation 50-424/86-31-08.

23. Emergency Preparedness Exercise
On April 30, 1986, the residents participated as players in.the NRC graded
exercise. Both the Technical Support Center and the Control Room were
manned in order to provide the NRC response that would be present for an
actual site event.
No violations or deviations were identified.
