                The plant continued in power operation (Mode 1) for the duration of this
                inspection period.
                a.  Shift Logs and Facility Records (71707)
                      The inspector reviewed records and discussed various entries with
                      operations personnel to verify compliance with the Technical
                      Specifications (TS) and the licensee's administrative procedures.
                      The following records were reviewed:
                      Shift Supervisor's Log; Rea(tor Operator's iog; Equipment
                      Out-0f-Service Log; Shift Relief Checklist; Auxiliary Building
                      Operator's Log; Active Clearance Log; Daily Operating Surveillance
                      Log; Work Request Log; Short Term Instructions (STI); and Selected
                      Chemistry / Radiation Protection Logs.
                      In addition to these record reviews, the inspector independently
                      verified clearance order tagouts.
                      No violations or deviations were identified.
                b.  Facility Tours and Observations (71707)
                      Throughout the inspection period, facility tours were conducted
                      to observe operations and maintenance activities in progress. Some
                      operations and maintenance activity observat'ons were conducted
                      during backshif ts. Also, during this inspection period, licensee
                      meetings were attended by the inspector to observe planning and
                      management activities.
                      The facility tours and observations encompassed the following areas:    ,
                      security perimeter fence; control room; emergency diesel generator
                      room; auxiliary building; intermediate building: battery rooms; and
                      electrical switchgear rooms.
                      suring these tours, the following observations were made:
:                    (1) Morttoring Instrumentation - The following instrumentation
                            and/or indications were observed to verify that indicated
                            parameters were in accordance with the TS for the current
                            operational mode:
                            Equipment operating status;      area atmospheric and    liquid
                            radiation monitors; electrical system lineup; reactor operating
                            parameters; and auxiliary equipment operating parameters.
                            No violations or deviations were identified.

              walkdown of the Spent Fuel (SF) system to verify that the lineup
              was in accordance with      license requirements for system
              operability and that the system drawing and procedure correctly
              reflect "as-built" plant coaditions.
              No violations or deviations were identified.
          (3) Shif t Staffing (71707) - The inspector verified that operating
              shift staffing was in accordance with TS requirements and that
              control room operations were being conducted in an orderly and
              professional manner.    In addition, the inspector observed shif t
              turnovers on various occasions to verify the continuity of plant
              status, operational    problems, and other pertinent plant
              information during these turnovers.
              No violations or deviations were identified.
          (4) Plant Housekeeping Conditions (71707) - Storage of material
              and components, and cleanliness conditions of various areas

            The implementation of the licensee's As Low As Reasonably
            Achievable    (ALARA)  program  was  reviewed  to determine
            personnel involvement in the objectives and goals of the
            program.
            During a tour of the Auxiliary Building (AB) the inspector          -
            noted a lot of trash and debris in a contamirated area in the
            "Green Room". This area is used to compact solid radioactive
            waste. A significant amount of air flow through this room was
            also noted, however no spread of contamination appeared to be
            occurring. During meetings with licensee management personnel,
            the potential spread of contamination from this situation was
            discussed.
            No violations or deviations were identified.
        (6) Security Control (71881)      -  In the course of the monthly
            activities, the in< : ctor included a review of the licensee's
            physical security program, lhe composition of the security
            organization was checked to insure that the minimum number of
            guards were available and that security activitiqs were
            conducted with proper supervision.      The performance of various
            shif ts of the security force was observed in the conduct of
            daily activities to include: protected and vital area access
            controls; searching of personnel, packages, and vehicles; badge
            issuance and retrieval; escorting of visitors; patrols; and
            compensatory posts.    In addition, the inspector observed the
            operational status of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) monitors,
            the Intrusion Detection system in the central and secondary
            alarm stations, protected area lichting, prot < ;ed and vital
            area barrier integrity, and the :ecuri., or va . ' ' tion interface

                    No violations or deviations were identified.
    3.  Review of Licensee Event Reports (92700) and Nonconforming Operations
          Reports (71707)
          a.  Licensee Event Reports (LERs) were reviewed for potential generic
              impact, to detect trends, and to determine whether corrective actions
              appeared appropriate.    Events that were reported immediately were    ,
              reviewed as they occurred to determine if the TC were satisfied.
              LERs 88-12 and 88-15 were reviewed in accordance with the current NRC
              Enforcement Policy.
              (1) (Closed) LER 88-12: This LER reported the inadequate electrical
                    isolation between reactor coolant syLtem hot leg temperature
                    instruments.  This LER was previously dircussed in NRC
                    Inspection Report 50-302/88-16. The licensee's review of other
                    modifications that interface with the remote shutdown panel has
                    been completed and no similar problems were identified. The
                    licensee concluded that the design error which caused this
                    situation was an isolated case.
              (2) (Cpen) LER 38-15: This LER reported that components tssociated
                    with the main feedwater startup block valves were not
                    environmentally qualified.    This matter is discussed in more
                    detail in NRC Inspection Report 50-302/88-27. The licensee is
                    developing a schedule to replace all nonqualified components
                    associated with these valves and will submit this information in
                    a supplement to the LER by January 31, 1989. This LER will
                    remain open pending issuance of the supplement and completion of
                    the licensee's corrective action,
          b.  The inspector reviewed Nonconforming Operations Reports (NCORs) to
              verify the following:    TS are complied with, corrective actions as
              identified in the reports or during subsequent reviews have baen
              accmlished or are being pursued for completion, generic items are
              identified and reported as required by 10 CFR Part 21, and items are
              reported as required by TS.
              All NCORs were reviewed in accordance with the current NRC
              Enforcement Policy.

                    (1) NCOR 88-90 reported that surveillance procedure SP-430,                                                                        ;
                                      Containment' Air Locks Seal Leakage Test, was . inadequate to
,
                                      implement the requirements of TS 4.6.1.3. This TS requires that
                                      the containment air lock shall be demonstrated operable after
                                      each opening by pressurizing the door seals and verifying that
                                      seal leakage is within limits.                                                The TS further requires that
                                      this test pressure be stabilized for at least 15 minutes prior
                                      to verifying the leakage rate. The licensee discovered that                                                      l
                                      from April 21, 1988 to May 28, 1988, an air lock was opened on
                                      approximately 15 different occasions and the leakage test was
j                                      performed without the required 15 minute stabilization. time.
                                        10 CFR 50.73 (a)(2)(1)(B) requires that a LER be submitted                                                      ,
                                      within 30 days of the event for any operation or condition                                                      :
                                      prohibited by the TS. Although this matter was identified by                                                    '
,
                                      the licensee on July 12, 1988, this matter was not repor*ed to
                                      the NRC within 30. days as required by 10 CFR 50.73 ar.d is
                                      considered to be a violation.

                    (2) NCOR 88-93 reported that the impeller nut for the "B" Nuclear
                                        Services Closed Cycle Cooling Pump (SWp-18) was found loose
<
                                      during recent pump maintenance. Although this condition did not
                                        cause the pump's impeller to become loose and thereby render the
                                        pump inoperable, the potential existed to do so. The licensee
                                        has noticed this same condition on the impeller nuts for pump
                                        SWP-1A and also the "A" Decay Heat Closed Cycle Cooling Pump                                                    i
                                        (DCP-1A).    The licensee has replaced these impeller nuts with

The implementation of the licensee's As Low As Reasonably

Achievable (ALARA) program was reviewed to determine

personnel involvement in the objectives and goals of the

program.

During a tour of the Auxiliary Building (AB) the inspector -

noted a lot of trash and debris in a contamirated area in the

"Green Room". This area is used to compact solid radioactive

waste. A significant amount of air flow through this room was

also noted, however no spread of contamination appeared to be

occurring. During meetings with licensee management personnel,

the potential spread of contamination from this situation was

discussed.

No violations or deviations were identified.

(6) Security Control (71881) - In the course of the monthly

activities, the in< : ctor included a review of the licensee's

physical security program, lhe composition of the security

organization was checked to insure that the minimum number of

guards were available and that security activitiqs were

conducted with proper supervision. The performance of various

shif ts of the security force was observed in the conduct of

daily activities to include: protected and vital area access

controls; searching of personnel, packages, and vehicles; badge

issuance and retrieval; escorting of visitors; patrols; and

compensatory posts. In addition, the inspector observed the

operational status of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) monitors,

the Intrusion Detection system in the central and secondary

alarm stations, protected area lichting, prot < ;ed and vital

area barrier integrity, and the :ecuri., or va . ' ' tion interface

with operations and maintenance.  ;

(11) Pipe Hangers and Seismic Restraints (71707) - Several pipe

hangers and seismic restraints (snubbers) on safety-related

systems were observed to assure fluid levels were adequate

and no leakage was evide:1t, restraint settings were appropriate,

and anchoring points were not binding.

No violations or deviations were identified.

3. Review of Licensee Event Reports (92700) and Nonconforming Operations

Reports (71707)

a. Licensee Event Reports (LERs) were reviewed for potential generic

impact, to detect trends, and to determine whether corrective actions

appeared appropriate. Events that were reported immediately were ,

reviewed as they occurred to determine if the TC were satisfied.

LERs 88-12 and 88-15 were reviewed in accordance with the current NRC

Enforcement Policy.

(1) (Closed) LER 88-12: This LER reported the inadequate electrical

isolation between reactor coolant syLtem hot leg temperature

instruments. This LER was previously dircussed in NRC

Inspection Report 50-302/88-16. The licensee's review of other

modifications that interface with the remote shutdown panel has

been completed and no similar problems were identified. The

licensee concluded that the design error which caused this

situation was an isolated case.

(2) (Cpen) LER 38-15: This LER reported that components tssociated

with the main feedwater startup block valves were not

environmentally qualified. This matter is discussed in more

detail in NRC Inspection Report 50-302/88-27. The licensee is

developing a schedule to replace all nonqualified components

associated with these valves and will submit this information in

a supplement to the LER by January 31, 1989. This LER will

remain open pending issuance of the supplement and completion of

the licensee's corrective action,

b. The inspector reviewed Nonconforming Operations Reports (NCORs) to

verify the following: TS are complied with, corrective actions as

identified in the reports or during subsequent reviews have baen

accmlished or are being pursued for completion, generic items are

identified and reported as required by 10 CFR Part 21, and items are

reported as required by TS.

All NCORs were reviewed in accordance with the current NRC

Enforcement Policy.

.

(1) NCOR 88-90 reported that surveillance procedure SP-430,  ;

Containment' Air Locks Seal Leakage Test, was . inadequate to

,

implement the requirements of TS 4.6.1.3. This TS requires that

the containment air lock shall be demonstrated operable after

each opening by pressurizing the door seals and verifying that

seal leakage is within limits. The TS further requires that

this test pressure be stabilized for at least 15 minutes prior

to verifying the leakage rate. The licensee discovered that l

from April 21, 1988 to May 28, 1988, an air lock was opened on

approximately 15 different occasions and the leakage test was

j performed without the required 15 minute stabilization. time.

10 CFR 50.73 (a)(2)(1)(B) requires that a LER be submitted ,

within 30 days of the event for any operation or condition  :

prohibited by the TS. Although this matter was identified by '

,

the licensee on July 12, 1988, this matter was not repor*ed to

the NRC within 30. days as required by 10 CFR 50.73 ar.d is

considered to be a violation.

i

Violation (302/88-26-01): Failure to report a condition -

prohibited by the TS as required by 10 CFR 50.73.

'

!

(2) NCOR 88-93 reported that the impeller nut for the "B" Nuclear

Services Closed Cycle Cooling Pump (SWp-18) was found loose

<

during recent pump maintenance. Although this condition did not

cause the pump's impeller to become loose and thereby render the

pump inoperable, the potential existed to do so. The licensee

has noticed this same condition on the impeller nuts for pump

SWP-1A and also the "A" Decay Heat Closed Cycle Cooling Pump i

(DCP-1A). The licensee has replaced these impeller nuts with

new nuts and has applied a thread securing compound to secure  ;

i the nut in place. The licensee plans to inspect other similar

!

safety related pumps, and make appropriate repairs if necessary, .

I and is reviewing this matter to determine if 10 CFR Part 21 is

applicable.

I

IFI (302/88-26-02): Follow licensee's activities to inspect i

safety related pumps for loose impeller nuts and determination l

of 10 CFR Part 21 reportability. }

i

$ (3) NCOR 88-100 reported that periodic in'pections of some quality i

storage items were not being performea as required by Regulatory

,

Guide 1.38. The licensee identified that ome items being i

-

stored in "staging" areas were not inspected. The licensee uses (

these staging areas to assemble parts and equipment necessary l

. for the performance of plant work and modifications. The

'

! licensee has taken interim action to remove the items from the

4

staging areas and is inspecting these items prior to returning

i them to the appropriate storage area. The licensee is also

i

evaluating new methods for performing these inspections in the

future. This item is considered unresolved pending NRC review l

Unresolved Item (302/88-26-03): Review. inspection results of

qmlity items stored in staging areas and development 'of new

methods for performing periodic inspections.

(4) NCORs88-101, 88-104, and 88-105 reported that battery charger

output shunt devices .were not being calibrated. The voltage

across these shunts was used in previous surveillance tests to

4 measure charger output current as required by the TS.  ;

'

Subsequent calibration of' these devices by the licensee

determined that they were out of tolerance in the conservative

direction and the battery chargers were capable of supplying the

i required current. The applicable surveillance procedure has

been revised to require the use of a portable battery load test

device which has an installed calibrated shunt to measure

charger output curreat, and this procedure has been performed

i satisfactory on both battery banks. New shunts are presently

, being ordered and will be installed in the battery chargers.

The licensee also plans to include the battery charger shunts in

4

'

the PM-200 calibration program. This matter is considered to be

a licensee identified violation in which appropriate corrective ,

'

action was taken to prevent recurrence. The licensee's

corrective action will be followed by an IFI.

IFI (302/88-26-04): Review the licensee's activities to install

, new shunt devices in the battery chargers and include these -

devices in the PM-200 calibration program.

'

(5) NCOR 88-108 reported that modification reviews failed to provide l

,

'

adequate guidance for High Energy Line Break (HELB)  ;

considerations. One main steam line was walked down to assess *

'

the HELB qualification of equipment installed subsequent to  ;

, original construction. The licensee's analysis stated in  !

conclusion that the potential targets affected by breaks in the

'

!

one main steam line are not configured such that the operability

. of any system to mitigate a steam line break is affected.

! The licensee has a plan for completion of analy is of the other l

i HELR areas. The resident inspectors will follow the licensee's i

progress. ,

4. Design, Design Changes and Modifications (37700) {

Installation of new or modified systems were reviewed to verify that the

a

changes were ovaluated and approved in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59, that j

approved procedures, that subsequent testing and test results met

acceptance criteria or deviations were resolved in an acceptable manner,

and that appropriate drawings and facility procedures were revised as

necessary. This review included selected observations of modifications

and/or testing in progress.

The following modification approval records (MARS) were reviewed and/or

associated testing observed:

-

MAR 88-01-21-0) , Install Backflow Preventer in Auxiliary Building

Demineralized Water Line; and

-

MAR 87-07-23-01, Replacement of Toxic Gas Monitors.

5. Licensee Action on Previously Identified Inspection Findings (92702 &

92701)

a. (Closed) IFI 302/88-14-05: Review the revision and revalidation of

procedure PM-123, Periodic Electrical Checks of Emergency Diesel

Generators.

The licensee has revised procedure PM-123 (revision 8 dated July 19,

1083) to correct the identified problems. A field validation was

again performed to ensure the procedure could be performed as

written.

b. (Closed) Unresolved ! tem 302/88-06-01: Review the licensee's

detailed evaluation of the effect of uncilibrated instrumentation.

The licensee has completed their detailed evaluation of

instrumentation which was overdue for calibration. The licensee did

not identify any unresolved safety concerns and the function of

safety systems was not adversely affected.

c. (Closed) IFI 302/83 14-H: Review the licensee's revision to

procedure SP-340A, "A" Train ECCS Pump and Valve Quarterly

Oogrability Test.

The licensee has revised procedure SP-340f, (eevision 11 dated July

20, 1988) to reflect the correct stroke time for valve MOV-69 and has

also clarified which locations pump vibration measurements are to be

obtained. 1

d. (0 pen) IFI 302/88-18-03: Review the licensee's revisions to the TS

and applicable surveillance procedures to reflect the increased

containtrent leakage test pressure (Pa).

In the process of verifying the maximum Reactor Builoing (RB)

pressure following a Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA), the licensee i

discovered that the maximum temperature assumed to exist in the RB '

i

l

g +.

-

- -

g .

.,.

b

10

before the accident occurs was 110 degrees Fahrenheit (F) instead_of

the maximum 130 F RB temperature that is allowed by the TS. The '

average RB temperature is routinely as high as 124 F. Subsequent

reanalysis of the maximum RB pressure possible following a LOCA with  :

the 130 F initial RB temperature produced a slightly higher traximum .

accident pressure of 53.3 psig (0.7 psig increase). This pressure is [

still below the RB design pressure of 55 psig. The licensee plans to -

revise the TS and applicable surveillance procedures to reflect a Pa ,

,

of 53.3 psig.

e. (Closed) IFI 302/87-16-02: Review the licensee's activities to

determine the cause for component contamination and review of IE

Circular 77-14.

As discussed in NRC Inspection Report 50-302/88-11, this item ,

i remained open pending the installation of a backflow preventer in the

demineralized water supply line to the AB and the establishment of

~

3 administrative controls for valve 00V-128. The licensee has i

3

'

completed modification MAR 88-01-21-01, Install Backflow Preventer.in  :

AB DW Line, and has revised procedure OP-416, Domestic Water Supply ,

t

Syster.i (revision 23 dated July 15, 1988), to require that valve

00V-129 be maintained locked closed.

I f. (Closed) IFI 87-40-06: Review the licensee's investigation regarding  ;

,

the size and location of control transformers for valves MUV-23 and

MUV-25.

i

The licensee reviewed modification and work socumentation associated

with these valves and was unable to determine the cause for the

'

oversized transformers. The licensee has determined that these

! transformers are more than sufficient for the design application and

'

has revised applicable plant drawings to correctly reflect what is
