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 | |||

. | |||
6 | |||
(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 | |||

methods for performing periodic inspections. | |||
(4) NCORs 88-101, 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. , | |||

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 ' | |||

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 | |||
installed in the field. | |||

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

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
(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

,
.
(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

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 '

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

'
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
installed in the field.
