REPORT 81-28 FINDING: Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires the licensee to establi'sh

and implement procedures

that meet the requirements

and recommendations

of ANSI N18.7-1972 and Appendix"A" of Regulatory

Guide 1.33.Contrary to the above, while the reactor head was removed for refueling, the licensee did not implement two procedures

in accordance

with the requirements

of ANSI N18.7-1972.1.Operating Procedure 16200 requires items that could fa'jl into the reactor to be kept off the manipulator

crane and clear of the reactor cavity.On November 17, 1981, miscellaneous, untethered

tools and materials were observed on the manipulator

crane.2.equality Procedure 2.10 requires material accountability

to be applied when misplaced items could be detrimental

to the safety function of a system.On November 17, 1981, a system of material accountability

had not been established

for items entering the refueling area.RESPONSE: 1.FPL concurs with the finding.2.FPL did not previously, interpret equality Procedure 2.10 to require material accountability

to be necessary in the refueling area.3.The immediate problem was resolved when refueling was completed.

4.In order to pr event recurrence, FPL wi 1 1 impl ement a materi al.accountability

program as required by guality Procedure 2.10.5.Full compliance

will be achieved prior to the post steam generator repair fuel loading on Unit 3.(Which is now scheduled for February 20, 1982).FINDING: Paragraph 14.2.1 of the Final Safety Analysis Report states that assumptions

used for a fuel handling accident in the spent fuel pit are conservative

because the auxiliary building doors are closed during movement of spent fuel.Contrary to the above, during fuel handling operations

on November 17, 1981, doors which lead from the spent fuel pit directly to the outside atmosphere

were propped open.

I.E.INSPECTION

REPORT 81-28 (Continued)

~~Page 2 RESPONSE: FPL will perform a safety evaluation

of the spent fuel pit doors being open during movement of spent fuel.If the safety evaluation

demonstrates

that keeping the doors open during spent fuel movement does not involve any unrevi ewed safety questions, FPL will cunti nue our current practice.If not, we wi 11 modify our current practice to remedy the unreviewed

safety question.The doors will be closed while moving spent fuel into or out of containment

pending completion

of the safety evaluation.
