AllegationFollowup(92701], (Closed) Allegation 4-88-A-0002: This allegation concerned a recently terminated maintenance supervisor allegedly not following procedure during the installation of the reactor vessel 0-rings during Refueling Outage II. The reactor vessel 0-rings later failed, resulting in a forced outage. During this forced outage, the 0-rings were replaced. The allegation discussed below (4-88-A-0014) | |||
addresses the issue with the same maintenance supervisor not following procedures. The reactor vessel 0-ring installation is addressed in NRC Inspection Report 50-482/88-04 and while enforcement action was initiated regarding inspection of the 0-rings, there was | |||

. | |||
no evidence that this maintenance supervisor violated procedures which contributed to the 0-ring failure. This allegation could not be substantiated and is close (Closed) Allegation 4-88-A-0014: This allegation concerned a maintenance supervisor directing his employees to violate procedure Licensee workers advised management of apparent procedural violations directed by a named maintenance supervisor prior to the NRC receiving this allegation. The licensee investigated this matter and substantiated the allegation. The maintenance supervisor was terminated. This same maintenance supervisor is referenced in Allegation 4-88-A-0002. The licensee determined where the procedures had been violated through discussion with employees and performed followup inspections in these (nonsafety) maintenance areas. No indication of procedures for safety-related equipment were foun The NRC inspectors monitored the licensee close out of this allegation and no additional concerns were identified. This allegation was substantiated and is closed, (Closed) Allegation 4-88-A-0007: This allegation was received from a terminated employee who was being processed out. The employee was terminated for falsification of a drug tes The employee denied having falstfied the test and stated there either was a mistake or WCN0C management had falsified the sample in order to get rid of the employe In addition to making this allegation to the NRC, the alleger also talked with Quality First (Q1). The allegation the alleger gave to Q1 only dealt with a possible mistake. The NRC inspectors and Q1 review of this situation showed that the licensee's program for drug testing appeared to have been followed. The specific manager that the alleger feit was responsible has since quit WCN0C to take up employment elsewhere. The position that manager held while he was employed at WCN0C did not have any direct control over the taking of drug samples. This allegation could not be substantiated. This allegation is closed, (Closed) Allegation 4-87-A-0084: This allegation concerned the repair effort on correcting erosion on the retaining ring to Valve EF HV-048. During this repair effort, it was alleged that mechanical maintenance cold sprung the pipe into position and then tried to get quality control (QC) to accept the flange alignment and cleanlines QC refused to accept this condition. It was also alleged that QC is routinely asked to accept items at the end of a shift in order to pressure QC into accepting items. It was also alleged that QC is routinely asked to accept items when the worker knows they are not yet read The NRC inspector toured the area around EF HV-048 and found the hydraulic jacks and chain hoists in the area. Also, the bolts through the flange were loose on top and tight on the bottom. The alleger | |||

attitude that existed at the working leve l l | |||
Maintenance management agreed to discuss the situation with their l workers. One of the maintenance supervisort has since been l transferred cut of maintenance. In addition, maintenance has been I reorganized and the superintendent of maintenance has been replace l Engineering evaluated the stress'placed on the pipe and had that section cut out, rewelded, and then hydrostatic pressure tested agai l NRC inspectors have evaluated this matcer and believe prompt and effective actions were taken by the licensee. This allegation is substantiated, however, no violations were identified, i | |||
This allegation is closed, (Closed) Allegation 4-88-A-0049: The NRC resident inspectors office received information on June 29, 1988, that there were two security ; | |||
items that should be followed up. The specific allegations, NRC l review actions, and conclusions are addressed below: | |||
1) Allegation: This alleger stated that the licensee had an NRC comitment to a specific number of security officers to be on duty and that this number was routinely not me NRC Review Acticns: The NRC inspectors reviewed NRC Inspection Report 482/87-23, WCNOC's response to this report, WM 87-0333 dated December 11, 1987, and interviewed Region IV security inspectors. The alleger was correct in the specific number of security officers who should be on duty. However, when there are less than the required number who report in for the next shift, some members of the previous shift are held over or officers at stations outside of the protected area are called in when the need arise Conclusion: The allegation was not substantiated. Interviews with the licensee's Chief of Security showed that sometimes there are less than the specific number of officers inside the protected area but that officers outside of the protected area are called in when require ) Allegation: The alleger stated that when officers were on relief week, they would routinely work different shifts, lhis would result in officers being excessively tired from rotating among shift NRC Review Actions: The NRC inspector interviewed four security officers, including one shift lieutenant. All the security officers stated that if they were assigned to work a shift for a | |||

The NRC inspectors reviewed the assignment sheet for the squad on relief for the week of June 27, 1988, and observed that all personnel were working on just one shif Conclusion: The allegation was not substantiated. Although at times officers would work different shifts, this.was minimize This allegation is close , 10 CFR Part 21 Report Followup (92701) (Closed)P21-1987-87-81: Three Nonconformances to Eastern Testing and Inspection Procedures Regarding NDE Documentation were Identifie The licensee's review of testing records determined that Eastern Testing and Inspection has not performed NDE services at Wolf Cree This information was documented in WCGS Technical Information Review and Evaluation (ITIP) No. 0058 (Closed) P21-1987-87-30: Improper Electrical Manhole Dust Seal Desig The licensee determined that the design in question did not exist at Wolf Creek aad that the condenser pit size was adequate to contain potential flooding. Wolf Creek has experienced some minor problems due to groundwater intrusion through manholes. This problem is being addressed by using sump pumps to keep the manholes pumped dow (Closed) P21-1987-87-80: Containment Hydrocen Analyzer Systems-Design Deficiency May cause a Loss Of Calibration Ga The licensee's hydrogen analyzer is not the same as the one described in the Part 21. The licensee's calibration gas is stored at a lower pressure (25 psig versus 750 psig) and is located outside of containment.

This information was documented in WCGS ITIP No. 0039 (Closed)P21-1987-87-10: Potential Component Failure In Validyne Standard Transduce The licensee's review of this Part 21 had identified no safety-related parts supplied by Validyne. This information was documented in WCGS ITIP No. 0029 . Review of Licensee Event Reports (LER) (92701) | |||
During this inspection period, the NRC inspectors performed followup on Wolf Creek LERs. The LERs were reviewed to ensure: | |||
o Corrective action stated in the report has been properly completed or work is in progres o Response to the event was adequate, o Response to the event met license conditions, commitments, or other applicable regulatory requirement o The information contained in the report satisfied applicable reporting requirements, o Generic issues were identifie The LERs discussed below were reviewed and closed: | |||

without operating the particular switches that lead to the tri . Operational Safety Verification (71707) | |||
The NRC inspectors verified that the facility is being operated safely and in conformance with regulatory requirements by direct observation of , | |||
licensee facilities, tours of the facility, interviews and discussions , | |||
with licensee personnel, independent verification of safety system status i and limiting condities for operations, and reviewing facility record I The NRC inspectors, by observation of randomly selected activities.and interview of personnel, verified that physical security, radiation protection, and fire protection activities were controlle ; | |||
By observing accessible components for correct valve position and 1 electrical breaker position, and by observing control room indication, the i NRC inspectors confirmed the operability of selected portions of safety I related systems. The NRC inspectors also visually inspected safety components for leakage, physical damage, and other impairments that could i prevent them from performing their designed function Selected NRC inspector observations are discussed below: On June 6, 1988, Fire Doors 13261 and 13281 were found by NRC inspectors to be standing open. Both doors were listed in the fire protection manual as fire doors, and were labeled as fire door These doors lead to an auxiliary feedwater pump room and an associated valve room. Surveillance testing was in progress at the time. A technician was found working in the valve room. Neither the pump room nor the connecting hallway were occupied. The NRC inspector also found that neither fire protection impairment control permits nor log entries had been completed for the doors. This was a failure to follow Procedure ADM 13-103, Revision 5, "Fire Protection: | |||
Impairment Control." Thisisanapparentviolation.(482/8819-01) | |||
The NRC inspectors also noted that a previous violation, 482/8706-01, concerned fire door impairments. In their response, the licensee stated that a breach of a fire barrier for any length of time requires an impairment pennit, During a routine tour of the auxiliary building on May 27, 1988, the NRC inspector observed dried boron crystals on several component ' - | |||
, , . | |||
. | . | ||
The components were located in the "A" train containment spray pump room and the "A" train safety injection pump room. The components were the flange on Suction Strainer SS02, Valves BG FCV-110A, EM V-032, EM V-033, EM V-034, EM HV-8807A and Orifice EN 005. The NRC inspector informed the shift supervisor (SS). In response to a question from the NRC inspector as to why so many valves appeared to be leaking, the SS performed a computer search of work requests (WR). | |||
The SS found some WRs that had been worked previously and had been closed out. The SS stated the valves could have leaked previously, been repaired, and then the dried boron was not cleaned off. . The SS wrote WRs to address the dried boro In discussions with the plant manager, the NRC inspector was informed that WCN0C intended to have components cleaned after they were repaired and licensee management would ensure that maintenance would clean the components after they were repaire c. During this report period a Quality Verification Functional Inspection (QVFI) was performed. The results of the QVFI will be documented in NRC Inspection Report 482/88-20. During the inspection, the QVFI team became aware of a potential environmental qualification (EQ) enforcement issue. Review of QA Audit TE: 50140 K-192, Corrective Actions, revealed that the licensee had identified nonenvironmentally qualified 0-rings in the solenoid operators of containment post accident sampling system (PASS) containment isolation valves. Licensee discovery of this condition was made in November of 1987, during the performance of Plant Modification Request PMR-1844. During PMR-1844, a maintenance crew mistakenly disassembled the solenoid operator of the wrong valve (GS-HV-013). | |||
The crew realized their error, and also identified the solenoid operator as containing EPR type 0-rings, which are nonqualified 0-rings for that specific applicatio Upon discovery of the nonenvironmentally qualified 0-rings, licensee QA issued a Defect / Deficiency Report (D/DR 87-132), and requested an engineering evaluation (87-SJ-10) to determine the impact cf the | |||
- nonenvironmentally qualified 0-rings on the subject valves. The engineering evaluation concluded that moisture / water that may intrude into the solenoid operator because of failed 0-rings would not affect the valve's pressure retaining function, but may cause the valve to be in the failed safe position upon a containment isolation signal, thus isolating the sampling systems. WRs were issued to inspect similar valves t.nd replace 0-rings as necessary. All of the work requests corresponding to the valves have been completed at this time which included the PASS containment isolation valve Pending further NRC review of this matter, this item will remain unresolved.

Block 29 "Retest Instructions" of WR 50898-88 was marked "NA-work does.not affect operability." Supplemental Sheet xx-619, Step 2, has the workers check the condition of the fan belts and to replace ones that were worn or frayed. Replacement of fan belts should have called for reverification of fan flow as part of a retest. Although fan belts were not changed out with this WR, they could be on other similar WRs. Discussions with quality plant support ('!PS) personnel on this issue, revealed that they | |||

AllegationFollowup(92701], (Closed) Allegation 4-88-A-0002: This allegation concerned a recently terminated maintenance supervisor allegedly not following procedure during the installation of the reactor vessel 0-rings during Refueling Outage II. The reactor vessel 0-rings later failed, resulting in a forced outage. During this forced outage, the 0-rings were replaced. The allegation discussed below (4-88-A-0014)
addresses the issue with the same maintenance supervisor not following procedures. The reactor vessel 0-ring installation is addressed in NRC Inspection Report 50-482/88-04 and while enforcement action was initiated regarding inspection of the 0-rings, there was

.
no evidence that this maintenance supervisor violated procedures which contributed to the 0-ring failure. This allegation could not be substantiated and is close (Closed) Allegation 4-88-A-0014: This allegation concerned a maintenance supervisor directing his employees to violate procedure Licensee workers advised management of apparent procedural violations directed by a named maintenance supervisor prior to the NRC receiving this allegation. The licensee investigated this matter and substantiated the allegation. The maintenance supervisor was terminated. This same maintenance supervisor is referenced in Allegation 4-88-A-0002. The licensee determined where the procedures had been violated through discussion with employees and performed followup inspections in these (nonsafety) maintenance areas. No indication of procedures for safety-related equipment were foun The NRC inspectors monitored the licensee close out of this allegation and no additional concerns were identified. This allegation was substantiated and is closed, (Closed) Allegation 4-88-A-0007: This allegation was received from a terminated employee who was being processed out. The employee was terminated for falsification of a drug tes The employee denied having falstfied the test and stated there either was a mistake or WCN0C management had falsified the sample in order to get rid of the employe In addition to making this allegation to the NRC, the alleger also talked with Quality First (Q1). The allegation the alleger gave to Q1 only dealt with a possible mistake. The NRC inspectors and Q1 review of this situation showed that the licensee's program for drug testing appeared to have been followed. The specific manager that the alleger feit was responsible has since quit WCN0C to take up employment elsewhere. The position that manager held while he was employed at WCN0C did not have any direct control over the taking of drug samples. This allegation could not be substantiated. This allegation is closed, (Closed) Allegation 4-87-A-0084: This allegation concerned the repair effort on correcting erosion on the retaining ring to Valve EF HV-048. During this repair effort, it was alleged that mechanical maintenance cold sprung the pipe into position and then tried to get quality control (QC) to accept the flange alignment and cleanlines QC refused to accept this condition. It was also alleged that QC is routinely asked to accept items at the end of a shift in order to pressure QC into accepting items. It was also alleged that QC is routinely asked to accept items when the worker knows they are not yet read The NRC inspector toured the area around EF HV-048 and found the hydraulic jacks and chain hoists in the area. Also, the bolts through the flange were loose on top and tight on the bottom. The alleger

had informed his management of the situation. QC management discussed with maintenance management the apparent adversarial ,
attitude that existed at the working leve l l
Maintenance management agreed to discuss the situation with their l workers. One of the maintenance supervisort has since been l transferred cut of maintenance. In addition, maintenance has been I reorganized and the superintendent of maintenance has been replace l Engineering evaluated the stress'placed on the pipe and had that section cut out, rewelded, and then hydrostatic pressure tested agai l NRC inspectors have evaluated this matcer and believe prompt and effective actions were taken by the licensee. This allegation is substantiated, however, no violations were identified, i
This allegation is closed, (Closed) Allegation 4-88-A-0049: The NRC resident inspectors office received information on June 29, 1988, that there were two security ;
items that should be followed up. The specific allegations, NRC l review actions, and conclusions are addressed below:
1) Allegation: This alleger stated that the licensee had an NRC comitment to a specific number of security officers to be on duty and that this number was routinely not me NRC Review Acticns: The NRC inspectors reviewed NRC Inspection Report 482/87-23, WCNOC's response to this report, WM 87-0333 dated December 11, 1987, and interviewed Region IV security inspectors. The alleger was correct in the specific number of security officers who should be on duty. However, when there are less than the required number who report in for the next shift, some members of the previous shift are held over or officers at stations outside of the protected area are called in when the need arise Conclusion: The allegation was not substantiated. Interviews with the licensee's Chief of Security showed that sometimes there are less than the specific number of officers inside the protected area but that officers outside of the protected area are called in when require ) Allegation: The alleger stated that when officers were on relief week, they would routinely work different shifts, lhis would result in officers being excessively tired from rotating among shift NRC Review Actions: The NRC inspector interviewed four security officers, including one shift lieutenant. All the security officers stated that if they were assigned to work a shift for a

part of relief week,= that they were given the option of working that shift all week. -Occasionally.someone would work different shifts, but this was minimized. The NRC inspectors reviewed the assignment sheet for the squad on relief for the week of June 27, 1988, and observed that all personnel were working on just one shif Conclusion: The allegation was not substantiated. Although at times officers would work different shifts, this.was minimize This allegation is close , 10 CFR Part 21 Report Followup (92701) (Closed)P21-1987-87-81: Three Nonconformances to Eastern Testing and Inspection Procedures Regarding NDE Documentation were Identifie The licensee's review of testing records determined that Eastern Testing and Inspection has not performed NDE services at Wolf Cree This information was documented in WCGS Technical Information Review and Evaluation (ITIP) No. 0058 (Closed) P21-1987-87-30: Improper Electrical Manhole Dust Seal Desig The licensee determined that the design in question did not exist at Wolf Creek aad that the condenser pit size was adequate to contain potential flooding. Wolf Creek has experienced some minor problems due to groundwater intrusion through manholes. This problem is being addressed by using sump pumps to keep the manholes pumped dow (Closed) P21-1987-87-80: Containment Hydrocen Analyzer Systems-Design Deficiency May cause a Loss Of Calibration Ga The licensee's hydrogen analyzer is not the same as the one described in the Part 21. The licensee's calibration gas is stored at a lower pressure (25 psig versus 750 psig) and is located outside of containment. An annunciator will alann if gas pressure drops to below 15 psig and the bottle can be replace (Closed)P21-1987-87-84: Failure of Fasteners May Cause the Valve Operator to be Unable to bo Opene .

l 7 (Closed)P21-1987-87-46: Tolerance Concerns on Dose Rates Certified by Vendor on Qualification Test The licensee's evaluation showed that the total dose tolerance did not impact the qualification of equipment at Wolf Creek. This information was documented in WCGS ITIP No. 0039 (Closed)P21-1987-87-10: Potential Component Failure In Validyne Standard Transduce The licensee's review of this Part 21 had identified no safety-related parts supplied by Validyne. This information was documented in WCGS ITIP No. 0029 . Review of Licensee Event Reports (LER) (92701)
During this inspection period, the NRC inspectors performed followup on Wolf Creek LERs. The LERs were reviewed to ensure:
o Corrective action stated in the report has been properly completed or work is in progres o Response to the event was adequate, o Response to the event met license conditions, commitments, or other applicable regulatory requirement o The information contained in the report satisfied applicable reporting requirements, o Generic issues were identifie The LERs discussed below were reviewed and closed:

The NRC inspectors verified that the facility is being operated safely and in conformance with regulatory requirements by direct observation of ,
licensee facilities, tours of the facility, interviews and discussions ,
with licensee personnel, independent verification of safety system status i and limiting condities for operations, and reviewing facility record I The NRC inspectors, by observation of randomly selected activities.and interview of personnel, verified that physical security, radiation protection, and fire protection activities were controlle ;
By observing accessible components for correct valve position and 1 electrical breaker position, and by observing control room indication, the i NRC inspectors confirmed the operability of selected portions of safety I related systems. The NRC inspectors also visually inspected safety components for leakage, physical damage, and other impairments that could i prevent them from performing their designed function Selected NRC inspector observations are discussed below: On June 6, 1988, Fire Doors 13261 and 13281 were found by NRC inspectors to be standing open. Both doors were listed in the fire protection manual as fire doors, and were labeled as fire door These doors lead to an auxiliary feedwater pump room and an associated valve room. Surveillance testing was in progress at the time. A technician was found working in the valve room. Neither the pump room nor the connecting hallway were occupied. The NRC inspector also found that neither fire protection impairment control permits nor log entries had been completed for the doors. This was a failure to follow Procedure ADM 13-103, Revision 5, "Fire Protection:
Impairment Control." Thisisanapparentviolation.(482/8819-01)
The NRC inspectors also noted that a previous violation, 482/8706-01, concerned fire door impairments. In their response, the licensee stated that a breach of a fire barrier for any length of time requires an impairment pennit, During a routine tour of the auxiliary building on May 27, 1988, the NRC inspector observed dried boron crystals on several component ' -
, , .
.
The components were located in the "A" train containment spray pump room and the "A" train safety injection pump room. The components were the flange on Suction Strainer SS02, Valves BG FCV-110A, EM V-032, EM V-033, EM V-034, EM HV-8807A and Orifice EN 005. The NRC inspector informed the shift supervisor (SS). In response to a question from the NRC inspector as to why so many valves appeared to be leaking, the SS performed a computer search of work requests (WR).
The SS found some WRs that had been worked previously and had been closed out. The SS stated the valves could have leaked previously, been repaired, and then the dried boron was not cleaned off. . The SS wrote WRs to address the dried boro In discussions with the plant manager, the NRC inspector was informed that WCN0C intended to have components cleaned after they were repaired and licensee management would ensure that maintenance would clean the components after they were repaire c. During this report period a Quality Verification Functional Inspection (QVFI) was performed. The results of the QVFI will be documented in NRC Inspection Report 482/88-20. During the inspection, the QVFI team became aware of a potential environmental qualification (EQ) enforcement issue. Review of QA Audit TE: 50140 K-192, Corrective Actions, revealed that the licensee had identified nonenvironmentally qualified 0-rings in the solenoid operators of containment post accident sampling system (PASS) containment isolation valves. Licensee discovery of this condition was made in November of 1987, during the performance of Plant Modification Request PMR-1844. During PMR-1844, a maintenance crew mistakenly disassembled the solenoid operator of the wrong valve (GS-HV-013).
The crew realized their error, and also identified the solenoid operator as containing EPR type 0-rings, which are nonqualified 0-rings for that specific applicatio Upon discovery of the nonenvironmentally qualified 0-rings, licensee QA issued a Defect / Deficiency Report (D/DR 87-132), and requested an engineering evaluation (87-SJ-10) to determine the impact cf the
- nonenvironmentally qualified 0-rings on the subject valves. The engineering evaluation concluded that moisture / water that may intrude into the solenoid operator because of failed 0-rings would not affect the valve's pressure retaining function, but may cause the valve to be in the failed safe position upon a containment isolation signal, thus isolating the sampling systems. WRs were issued to inspect similar valves t.nd replace 0-rings as necessary. All of the work requests corresponding to the valves have been completed at this time which included the PASS containment isolation valve Pending further NRC review of this matter, this item will remain unresolved.

Block 29 "Retest Instructions" of WR 50898-88 was marked "NA-work does.not affect operability." Supplemental Sheet xx-619, Step 2, has the workers check the condition of the fan belts and to replace ones that were worn or frayed. Replacement of fan belts should have called for reverification of fan flow as part of a retest. Although fan belts were not changed out with this WR, they could be on other similar WRs. Discussions with quality plant support ('!PS) personnel on this issue, revealed that they
