Bowever, good planning and scheduling techniques and stronger usangement control could have precluded the need for some of these changes. Even though specific surveillance tests were covered in certain Technical Specifications changes, there have been a ausber of licensee event reports (LERs) written on missed surveillances.

OPERATION ACTIVITIES During the first three months of the SALP period the plant operated within the range of approximately sixty to ninety percent power except for two automatic reactor trips. The first trip occurred on December 3, 1983 while troubleshooting the "A" inverter power supply. The second reactor trip occurred on February 29, 1984, when the "A" reactor coolant pump tripped off line in coincidence with a power oscillation on the power grid, and the plant was not able to respond and automatically tripped.

On March 19, 1984 while the plant was operating at ninety-two percent power a leak of the main generator cooling medium, hydrogen gas, developed into an explosive mixture in the space between the main generator and the high pressure turbine. A major explosion and subsequent fire occurred. The fire was extinguished by the carbon dioxide fire protection system within fourteen minutes. The operators manually tripped the turbine and reactor. The incident was declared an unusual event.

A major explosion and subsequent fire occurred. The fire was extinguished by the carbon dioxide fire protection system within fourteen minutes. The operators manually tripped the turbine and reactor. The incident was declared an unusual event.
The licensee brought the plant back to power on April 15, 1984, after completion of repair and maintenance activities. The plant operated at approximately ninety percent power from April 25 through June 1, with exception of a seven day period where the power was reduced to fifty percent to repair a condenser tube leak. On June 1, the reactor experienced an automatic trip due to feedwater overspeed. The plant returned to power and operated at ninety-two percent through July 3, until the plant was manually shutdown for the first of three steam generator tube leak repairs. The plant remained in cold shutdown until August 12 while a licensee investigation of piping fittings was performed. The plant was brought back to power u 11 August 31whentheplantwasagainmanuallyshutdownduetothesecon[d"B" steam generator tube Icak. The plant started back to power on October 7, but was shutdown for a "A" steam generator tube leak. The plant returned to power operation on October 11 and had to be shutdown on October 13 to investigate a hot spot on the main generator lead box. Repairs were made and the plant was on line on October 19. The plant remained in operation until the end of December although power was reduced due to feedwater heater leaks. A six day outage occurred to repair the known leak in the feedwater heater system and ended on January 6, 1985 when the plant went critical. The plant remained on line at various power icvels until March 15, 1985, when the licensee began the Cycle seven refueling outage.

Assess the licensee's performance in the functional area based upon inspections performed, available ^ data and observations of the licensee's performance during the SALP period. Obt'ain~ inputs from others who had inspection responsibilities in the functional area.

In assessing the licensee's performance, use the guidance in Attachment I through 4.

2.

Prepare a performance analysis for the functional area following the format of Attachment 6.

If possible, discuss the trend'of the licensee's performance since the previous SALP period. The analysis should reference pertinent data, enforcement items or events, when appropriate, but should be principally a quantitative analysis of the licensee's performance in the area (depending upon the level of activity, approximately one to one and one-half page in length when single space typed).

3.

Include recommendations for licensee actions related to the functional area.

Functional Areas.

a.

Operating Phase Reactors 1.

Plant Operations Consists chiefly of the activities of the licensee's operationalstaff(e.g.,licensedoperators, shift technical advisors, and auxiliary operators).

It is intended to be limited to operating activities such as i

plant startup, power operation, plant shutdown, and system lineups. Thus, it includes activities such as reading and logging plant conditions; responding to off-normal conditions; manipulating the reactor and

^

auxiliary controls; and training / retraining of licensed operators, shift technical advisors, and auxiliary operators.

2.

Radiolooical Controls Includes controls for occupational radiation protection; radioactive materials and contamination controls; radiological surveys and monitoring; processing of gas-eous, liquid, and solid wastes; transportation of radioactive materials; radiological effluent and environmental monitoring; and the results of the fiRC's independent measurement program.

3.

liaintenance Includes all activities associated with preventive or corrective maintenance of instrumentation and control equipment and mechanical and electrical systems.

4.

Surveillance Includes all surveillance testing activities as well as all inservice inspection and testing activities.

Examples of activities included are:

instrument cali-brations, equipment operability tests, containment leak rate tests, special tests, inservice inspection and performance tests of pumps and valves, and all other inservice inspection activities.

5.

Fire Protection Includes routine housekeeping and fire protection /

prevention program activities.

Thus, it includes the storage of combustible material; fire brigade staffing and training; fire 50ppression system maintanence and operation; and those fire protection features provided for structures, systems, and components important.to safe shutdown.

Attachment *1 Page 1 l

t

6.

Emergency Preparedness Includei' activities relating to the implementation of the emergency plan and implementing procedures. Thus, it includes such activities as licensee's performance during exercises which test the licensee, state, and local emergency plans; plan administration and implemen-tation; notification; communications; facilities and equipment; staffing; training;' assessment; emergency classification; medical treatment; radiological exposure control; recovery; protective actions; and interfaces with onsite and offsite emergency response organizations.

7.

Security Includes all activities whose purpose is to ensure the security and continued operability of the plant.

Specifically it includes all aspects of the licensee's security program (e.g. access control, security checks, badging).

8.

Refueling Includes all activities associated with refueling.

Thus, it includes outage management, and the manipu-lation of new and spent fuel.

9.

Quality Procrams and Administrative Controls Affectino Quality Includes all verification and oversight activities which affect or assure the quality of plant activities, structures, systems and components. This area may be viewed as a comprehensive management system for con-trolling the quality of work performed as well as the quality of verification activities that confirm that the work was performed correctly. The evaluation of the effectiveness of the quality assurance system should be based on the results of management actions to ensure that necessary people, procedures, facilities and materials are provided and used during the opera-tion of the nuclear power plant.

Principal emphasis should be given to evaluating the effectiveness and involvement of management in establishing and assuring the effective implementation of the quality assurance program along with evaluating the history of licensee performance in the key areas of:

comittee activities, design and procurement control. control of desion change processes, inspections, audits, corrective action systems, and records.

Surveillance The surveillance program has been inspected on a monthly basis by the resident inspectors throughout this SALP period.

(See also Section IV.5, Fire Protection).

During this SALP period the licensee asked the NRC for, and received, Technical Specifications changes to delay surveillances because of outage delays. Bowever, good planning and scheduling techniques and stronger usangement control could have precluded the need for some of these changes. Even though specific surveillance tests were covered in certain Technical Specifications changes, there have been a ausber of licensee event reports (LERs) written on missed surveillances.

In general, there was a decline in the licensee's performance in this area. partially in response to NRC criticism of this area, the licassee has instituted a daily asnagement meeting in which the status of surveillances is discussed. The effectiveness of this meeting in eliminating missed surveillances is yet to be determined by the inspectors.

I An item of noncompliance issued during this SALP period dealt with j

the failure to meet surveillance and technical specification requirements on parse valve leakage. The licensee did not respond l

in a timely usaner to the failure of the surveillance because of an apparent lack of awareness of Technical Specifications by the engineer in charge of the work. This illustrates the fact that there any not be proper sensitivity at all levels in the organization on issues important to safety or, as *the inspectors i

have stated in past inspection reports, there may be a ceamunications problem between people within the operating organisations. The 12R synopsis (Table 5) La this SALP report indicates that a ausber of reports have been issued which are surveillance related. Ceemusications related problems contributed to a number of these IIRs.

Conclusion performance assessment - Category 3.

This represents a decline in perforssace from the Category 2 assigned during the previous SALP cycle.

Board Receamendation Increased awareness of and attention to related Technical Specifications requirements should be demonstrated by persons involved la scheduling, performing, and reviewing surveillance activities.

SUMMARY

ATTACHMENT 7 i

l

OPERATION ACTIVITIES During the first three months of the SALP period the plant operated within the range of approximately sixty to ninety percent power except for two automatic reactor trips. The first trip occurred on December 3, 1983 while troubleshooting the "A" inverter power supply. The second reactor trip occurred on February 29, 1984, when the "A" reactor coolant pump tripped off line in coincidence with a power oscillation on the power grid, and the plant was not able to respond and automatically tripped.

On March 19, 1984 while the plant was operating at ninety-two percent power a leak of the main generator cooling medium, hydrogen gas, developed into an explosive mixture in the space between the main generator and the high pressure turbine. A major explosion and subsequent fire occurred. The fire was extinguished by the carbon dioxide fire protection system within fourteen minutes. The operators manually tripped the turbine and reactor. The incident was declared an unusual event.

The licensee brought the plant back to power on April 15, 1984, after completion of repair and maintenance activities. The plant operated at approximately ninety percent power from April 25 through June 1, with exception of a seven day period where the power was reduced to fifty percent to repair a condenser tube leak. On June 1, the reactor experienced an automatic trip due to feedwater overspeed. The plant returned to power and operated at ninety-two percent through July 3, until the plant was manually shutdown for the first of three steam generator tube leak repairs. The plant remained in cold shutdown until August 12 while a licensee investigation of August 31whentheplantwasagainmanuallyshutdownduetothesecon[d"B" piping fittings was performed. The plant was brought back to power u 11 steam generator tube Icak. The plant started back to power on October 7, but was shutdown for a "A" steam generator tube leak. The plant returned to power operation on October 11 and had to be shutdown on October 13 to investigate a hot spot on the main generator lead box. Repairs were made and the plant was on line on October 19. The plant remained in operation until the end of December although power was reduced due to feedwater heater leaks. A six day outage occurred to repair the known leak in the feedwater heater system and ended on January 6, 1985 when the plant went critical. The plant remained on line at various power icvels until March 15, 1985, when the licensee began the Cycle seven refueling outage.
