3.0 Licensee's Action On Previously Identified Items (open) COR 84-00-04 General Electric HEA Relay Trip Force Values Out Of Specification / Malformed Torsion Springs General Electric identified to the Licensee, in Service Advice Letter PSM 175.1, that HEA relays manufactured between September, 1980 and August, 1983 may exhibit Trip Force values which could cause malfunctio The potential for malfunction is related to a design change that was implemented during the above time frame. GE recommended to the Licensee that all HEA relays manufactured between the above dates (corresponding to a two alpha designator date code) should be inspected to determine the force required to trip the relay; and any HEA relay not meeting the specified force be replaced. The A/E advised the Licensee that thirteen (13) HEA relays installed in safety related systems failed to meet the specified Trip Force values when tested according to the vendors instruction Bechtel generated Nonconformance Report No. 3108 to document the inspec-tion, testing, and replacement of the defective HEA relays. In addition, the Licensee was advised by General Electric in Service Advice Letter PSM 165.1 that certain HEA relays manufactured between May,1979 and December,1980 may fail to operate due to malformed torsion spring Bechtel generated Nonconformance Report No. 2264 to document and control the suspect hardwar The inspector reviewed the corrective action taken by the Licensee and concluded that there was insufficient data available to close these items at this tim These items remain ope .0 Electrical (Components and Systems)--Work Observations The inspector observed work in progress, partially completed work, and completed / turned over equipment to PSE&G to determine whether the requirements of applicable specifications and work procedures have been met in areas relating to installation and maintenanc .1 The inspector examined channels A, B, and C which included 4160 volt Switchgear's 10A401, 10A402, and 10A403; 480 volt Unit-Sub-stations 108410, 108420, and 10B430; 480 volt Motor Control Centers'

108411, 108421, and 108431 on elevation 130' in the DG building. In addition, the inspector examined the associated Batteries, Chargers, and Inverters. The inspector examined the previously mentioned equipment / components for cleanliness, adequate ventilation, proper identification, and maintenanc No violations were identifie . _ - _ _ __

4.2 The inspector toured the emergency diesel generator areas and observed welding performed on the generator coil guard baffle Re-welding was required to correct a manufactures defect. This was reported by Louis Allis Corporation (10 CFR 21) in their letter to NRC dated March 29, 198 Intermittent fillet welds had failed on the coil guard baffles at another facility. Failure of the welds could have caused the baffle to be pulled into the generator thereby causing failure. The repair consisted of a continuous fillet weld on the baffle on the opposite side of the skip fillet welds. This con-tinuous fillet weld was done in accordance with the manufactures instruction No violations were identifie .0 Electrical (Components and Systems)--Record Review The inspector reviewed pertinent work and quality records for activities relating to the procurement of electrical components and systems to ascertain whether the records meet established procedures and whether the records reflect work accomplishments consistent with NRC requirements and FSAR commitments in the areas of documentation, receipt inspection, quality control, and installatio .1 This determination was based on the review of the following:

--

E-109 (Q), Technical Specification For 4160 Volt Metal-Clad Switchgear,

--

E-117 (Q), Technical Specification for 480 Volt Unit Substations,

--

l The components were procured in accordance with the procurement specifications and installed and inspected in accordance with prescribed procedure No violations were identifie .0 Preventive Maintenance Activities----Start-Up/ Operations The inspector reviewed the Licensee's progress in overcoming the delays in implementing operational preventive maintenance of equipment and systems turned over to PSE&G from Bechtel. The Licensee was cited for these untimely delays in preventive maintenance during a previous inspection (85-17) conducted April 15-18, 1985. At that time there were more than four hundred (400) past due items. During this inspection the Licensee has made considerable progress in reducing the number of past due item As of Mry 9,1985, the number of past due PM items was approximately eighty four (84). The inspector randomly selected twenty six (26) items from the Inspection Maintenance Report (IMR 8580) and requested the work orders from the Licensee. The Maintenance Work Orders were reviewed for compliance to prescribed PSE&G procedures and found acceptabl Subsequent to the review, the inspector emphasized to the Licensee that l during the start-up and operational phase, maintenance requirements may l

change for certain types of equipment and that the manufactures

!

instructions regarding maintenance will reflect these changes and need be indicated on the Maintenance Work Orders. The Licensee acknowledged awareness of this and showed the inspector examples of where PSE&G's operational maintenance organization is extracting from the vendors equipment manuals the maintenance requirements necessary to pcoperly maintain equipment in the start-up and operational phas No violations were identifie .0 Exit Meeting

, The inspector met with licensee and construction representatives (denoted in paragraph 1.0) at the conclusion of the inspection on May 17, 1985 at the construction sit The inspector summarized the scope of the inspection, the inspection findings and confirmed with the licensee that the documents reviewed by the team did not contain any proprietary information. The licensee agreed that the inspection report may be placed in the Public Document Room without prior licensee review for proprietary information (10 CFR 2.790),

! At no time during this inspection was written material provided to the licensee by the team.
