Mr. T. T. Martin Page 1 June 24, 1981 ATIACHMENT A Response to Inspection No. 50-219/81-05

'Ihe following information provides a response to the "Ibtice of Violation" contained in the US NBC letter dated May 29, 1981.

Violation A:

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XII, states, in part, " Measures shall be established to assure that . . . gages . . . used in activities affecting quality are properly controlled, < alibrated, and adjusted . . . to traintain accuracy within necessary limits."

Jersey Central Power and Light Otznpany Generation Division Operational Quality Assurance Plan,Section III, Operational Quality Assurance Program, Paragraph 3.A states, in part, " ANSI N45.2.4 Guidance will be utilized in conjunction with the JCP&L Operational Quality Assurance Plan..."

ANSI N45.2.41971, " Installation, Inspection and Testing Requirments for Instrunentation and Electric Equipent During the Construction of Nuclear Power Generating Stations," paragraph 2.5.1 statas, in part, "Irspection and testing equipnent with acceptable accuracy for performing the required function shall be selected..."

Contrary to the above, surveillance tests are being performed using test gages with less than acceptable accuracy and roariabilit1 in that 0-1500 psi test gages having 5 psi scale increnents were calibratal to accuracies of

+0.5 percent (+7.5 psig) of full scale and were then used in the performance of the following tests:

- 619.3.008, Turbine Ioad Rejection Scram Test (< 40% Ioad), performed February 13, 1981, with test setpoints established at 180 15/0 and 165 10/5 psig.

- 602.3.004, Electrmatic Relief Valve Pressure Sensor Test and ralibration, performed Decenber 1,1980, with test setpoints established at 1059

+0/5 psig, 1084 +0/5 psig, 1076 10/5 psig, 1062 10/5 psig, and 1082

[+0/5psig.

- 609.3.003, Isolation Condenser Autanatic Actuation Sensor Calibration and Test, perfonmd February 5,1981, with test setpoints established at <106810/2 psig and <1066 12 psig.

- 619.3.007, Iow Pressure Main Steam Line Functional Calibration Test While Shutdown, performed July 4,1980, with test setpoint established at 850 15/0.

G w - - - - - - - -

' Mr. 'i'. T. Martin Page 2 June 24, 1981 Violation A: (Continued)

- 619.3.017, Reactor High Pressure Scram Test and ralibration, performed February 10, 1981, with test setpoints established at 1068 10/2 psig and 1066 10/2 psig.

'Ihis is a Severity level V Violation (Supplanent I) .

Response

Admission or denial of the alleged violation:

We concur with the violation.

Corrective steps which have been taken and the result.s whieved:

Previous to this inspection and currently, Instrument Department Technicians perform checks on gages both above and below the expected test pressure set point (approximately +10 psi) prior to performing the surveillance test. 'inis is done against a primary standard with a certified accuracy of 0.05%. It would be reasonable to assume that the test gage has an accuracy approaching the accuracy of the stand 1rd for this narrow band. Test gages checked and used in this manner exceed the manufacturer's full scale accuracy. 'Ihese checks are now recorded on surveillance procedure data sheets.

Our deficiency in this area was a lack of proper arvmwntation that the checks were being performed; therefore, Procedure No. 112, " Oyster Creek Calibration of Maintenan Test and Inspection 'Ibols, Gauges, and Instruments", was revised to incorporate the above actions.

Cbrrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations:

Our Engineering Department has initiated procuranent of more accurate (0.1%) gages and is pursuing availability of nore accuz.cte reference standards for in-house calibration. Engineering will also perform a procedure review to include, among other things, a determination as to whether or not sane tolerances are too stringent.

'Ihe date when full cmpliance will be achieved:

Full cmpliance was achieved immaiately following the inspection by requiring the checks on existing gages both above and below the expected test pressure set point as 6escribed above in our corrective action. Procurement and procedure generation of the more accurate test gages is scheduled for empletion by the end of our upcaning refueling outage.

Violation B:

Technical Specifications 6.8.1 and 6.8.2, stated, in part, " Written procedures shall be established, implanented and maintained that meet or exceed-the requirements of Section 5.1 and 5.3 of American National Standard N18.7-1972...

Each procedure... shall be reviewed by the Plant Operations Review Otmnittee and approved by the Director Oyster Creek Operation prior to inplementation..."

Mr. T. T. Martin Page 3 June 24, 1981 Violation B: (Continued)

ANSI N18.7-1972, paragraph 5.3.6, states, in part, " Procedures shall be provided for periodic calibration and testing of safety-related plant instrunentation... The procedures shall have provisions for... assuring measurunent accuracies adequate to keep safety parameters within operational and safety limits."

Contrary to the above, calibrations were being performed on safety-related instrunents without using established and approved procedures. %e following are typical exanples of safety-related calibrations perforned without procedures. Other cases were also noted:

- IID4, Standby Liquid Control Systm Invel Transmitter;

-- IIDS, Standby Liquid Control Systems Invel Indicator;

- RD04, Control Rod Drive Water Pressure Indicator;

- RDl8, Control Rod Drive Water Pressure Transmitter; IG07B, Dnergency Condenser IcVel Indicator; EDST, Dnergency Diesel Fuel Storage Tank level Meter; and FP07, Fire Panp Discharge Pressure.

Further, in addition to procedures not being established, mlibrations have not been accmplisned for the following safety-related instrunents:

- Diesel Generator Kilowatt meters used to verify Diesel Generator operability;

- Diesel Generator Kilovar meters used to verify Diesel Generator operability; and

- Fire Ptmp revolutions per minute (RPM) meter used to verify fire ptmp operability.

'Ihis is a Severity IcVel V Violation (Supplement I) .

Resp.onse:

Mmission or denial of the allegal violation:

We control of calibration practices is described in Procedtue #112.1 which does refer to vendors manuals as well as approved procedures, where applicable. However, operational setpoints and tolerances are not cpproved in all cases and we, therefore, concur with the findings.

Mr. k'. T. Martin Page 4-- June 24, 1981 4 Response: (Cbntinued)

. Corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved:

1 A thorengh revision of Procedure #112.1 is underway to ensure that all safety-related instrunents are <mlibrated to approved setpoints and l

tolerances. 'Ihose itms listed in the finding and others found . ,

during our review which have not been <wlibrated recently will be done j at the next target of vesertunity and arWel to the routine calibration schedule.

Corrective steps which will be taken to avoid fuh vio.'.ations:

j Our Engineering Department's review of the surveillance prws .

cmbined with the Preventative Maintenance Depart 2nent's review of the calibration program will identify and correct discrapeccies and, thus, preclude further violations.

i

'Ihe date when full emp' Nx:e will be achieved:

i f'

Full ampliance will be achieved by the end of our nprvn%g refueling a

outage.

! violation C f 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, states, in parc, " Activities affectirig .

quality shall be prescrihM by h_= anted... procedures ... of a type

appropriate to the ciretznstances and shall be acomplished in accordance with these procedures..."

Jersey Central Power and Light cmpany Generation' Division Operational

Quality Assurance Plan, Revision 3,Section III, Operational Quality Assurance Program states, in part, "For activities falling within the scope of Part I

- of the Quality Assurance Systens List,. Jersey C?ntral Power and Light Cortpany shall' utilize the guidance of .. 13. ANSI N18.7-1972, " Administrative Controls and Quality Assurance for the Operational Phase of Nuclear Power Plants . . ." AtEI N18.7-1972, paragraph 6.2, states, "'I4 sting of safety-l related plant parameters, structures,_ systens, and ww. ants shall be L . performed in accordance with approved written test proceiures, which set i forth the requirenents and acceptance liraits."

j. 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, states, in part, " Measures shall be

! established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as'...

deficiencies ... are praptly ... corrected. In the case of significant t conditions adverse to quality, the measures shall assure that the cause of

-the condition is determined and corrective action taken to preclude repetition.-

'Ihe identification of the significant condition-adverse v quality, the cause of the condition, and the vuitective action taken siall be h= anted i and taported to appropriate levels -f management."

Mr. T. T. Martin Page 5 June 24, 1981 Violation C: (Continued)

Contrary to the above, test procettures have not been prepared, issued, or inplemented for Inservice Testing of numerous valves identified for testing in your Inservice Inspection Program, Section 2, "Punp and Valve Test Program". 'Ihe following are scxna examples of valves listed in the ISI Program, Section 2, whose testing is not documented in an approved procedure:

a. Core Spray Sycts Valves V20-60, V20-61 and V20-10.
b. Containment Spray System Valve V21-10.
c. Closed Cooling Water Valve V5-154.
d. Fire Protection Systm Valve V9-13. l Many additional valves were also identified during the inspection.  !

Further, this is a recurrent itm, in that a similar its of noncmpliance was cited in our letter to you dated May 9,1980 (NIC Inspection 219/80-10) which noted that pump and valve operability tests required by Section XI, i Subsection IWP and IWV, of the ASME Code had not been cmpleted nor had procedures been approved to implment the required tests for cmponents contained in various systms within the scope of Inservice Test Program (IST).

Your letter dated June 3,1980, in response to our letter stated that proccxlures would be written and inpleented by July 31, 1980.

As evidenced by the deficiencies cited above, your corrective actions and managment action to assure proper corrective actions were incc*tplate and inadequate.

'Ihis is a Severity Invel V Violation (Supplment I) .

Response

Mmission or denial of the alleged violation:

We concur with the violation. Following Inspection tb. 219/80-10, the task of procedure generation was subcontracted to an outside organization.

! Our deficiency was not performing an adeqtuto review of their efforts.

Cbrrec'ive steps which have been taken and the results achieved:

Test procedures have been written for the majority of the valves in the Inservice Testing Program. Presently, there exists a lack of proper documentation related to tests that are already being perforu

'Ihree of the six valves listed in the violation have had their respecLve procedures revisai to provide proper documentation.

I

i Mr. T. T. Martin Pi@ 6 June 24, 1981-2 l Response: ((bntinued)

Cbrrective ceps which will be'taken to avoid further violations:

Our subnit'al of May 22, 1981 to Mr. Boyce H. Griet delineated the actions we consider necessary to resolve the concerns related to thc valve testing program.. Specifically, we cannitted to the following:

1. Review and revise existing valve _ test procedures and, where needed, generate new testing procedures for valves not yet
incorporated by S @ mixr 30, 1981.

i 2. Schedule the valve inservice tests in accordanc? with the progran

by Oc
  • r 15, 1981.
3. Perform inservice tests for valves required during plant operation by Oc
  • r 15, 1981.
4. Perform inservice tests for valves required during cold shutdown
b. in our first cold shutdown after Gub-A=1: 15, 1981.

J 5. Perform inservice tests for 'ralves required during refueling

outages in our wing refseling cutage.

! 6. Develop a records systca for valve testing and file the necessary 1 th,mmtation for each valve by January 1,1982.

l In addition to the above specific actions, our Engineering Departments will be advised of their responsibility to adequately _ review all .

contracted work for technical accuracy before acceptance and inplementation.

Mt. T. T. Martin Page 1 June 24, 1981 ATIACHMENT B

%e subject mtter of the violaticns identified in Inspection No. 81-05 is under the cognizance of three departments within our managment organization at Oyster Creek. A discussion of each department (Preventative Maintenance, Plant Engineering, and Plant Operations Review Ocmnittee) with regard to the inpleentation of our manag nent control systms and our revised ammitment identification and control practices are, therefore, presented.

PREVENEATIVE MAINIDWCE We reorganization of the GPU Nuclear Group, which occurred in Septh, 1980, placed strong enphasis on the establisinent of an independent Preventative Maintenance Depart;rnt. We personnel to support this enphasis were also authorized at this time and efforts were made to fill the vacancies.

W e reorganization provides for a full time staff dedicated to preventative maintenance activities. We organizational chart is as shown on Figure 1 to this attachment. The present status of staffing the authorized positions is as follows:

Position Authorized Filled A. Preventative Maintenance Manager 1 1 B. Engineer 3 1 C. Clerk 1 1 D. Group Instrunent and Electrical Supervisor 2 2 E. Group Mechanical Supervisor 1 1 F. Instrtment Technicians 7 6 G. Mechanical Technicians 9 9 H. Electrical Technicians 7 3 I. Coordinator Scheduling 1 0 h e key position of Preventative Maintenance Manager was filled several weeks previous to the subject inspection. %e majority of deficient areas noted.

in the inspection had been previously identified by this individual and were internally scheduled for correction. We feel that the dimx: tion of the Preventative Maintenance Program under the cognizance of a full time manager, will ensure that future violations in this area will be minimized.

l i

Mr. 'h. T. Martin Page 2 June 24, 1981 PM ENGINEERIM3 he violatiens noted in Inspection 81-05 that fall under the cognizance of the Plant Engmeering Department concern the inplanentation of the Inservice Testing Program for valves.

ne responsibility for inplanentation of the Inservice Testing Program was asstyned by the Plant Engineering Department in Septanber 1980, with the reorganization of the GPU Nuclear Group. With the assunption of responsibilities it was believed that all procedures for the inservice testing of pwps and valves had been empleted. Efforts at this time were then directed toward vibration analysis of equignent.

Wis inspection, plus Inspection No. 81-08 hrought to our attention

'l the fact that our existing procedures were inadequate and inconplete. Upon identifying the deficiencies, i -rainte corrective actions were instituted.

We Nuclear Assurance Division of the GPU Nuclear Group was requested to cmpare our existing procedures against applicable code require: 'nts. Wis was accmplished and deficiencies were noted and scheduled for currection.

Our @-d ttal of May 22, 1981 to Mr. Boyce H. Grier delineates that schedule.

Under the GPU Nuclear Group organization, the technical support provided by the Nuclear Assuran Division will be continued.
