~5.~ Surveillance Testing and Calibration Control

The purpose of this portion of the inspection was to ascertain whether

LP&L had developed and implemented programs for control and evaluation of

surveillance testing, instrumentation calibration not covered by Technical

Specification, and inservice inspection.

The Preventive Maintenance Schedule System (PMSS) computer provides

' for scheduling of most preventive maintenance. The schedules, as

established in the data base, were not reviewed. The criteria for

i establishing the schedules were reviewed during the Technical

, Specification surveillance program review and the calibration control

review. The PMSS computer provides an accurate means of tracking and

scheduling surveillances and preventive maintenance.

a. Technical Specification Surveillance Program

An inspection was conducted of the licensee's Technical Specification

,

Surveillance Program. Areas examined included the following:

(1) Establishment of a master index and cross reference

(2) Assignment of duties and responsibilities

.

(3) Proper documentation of data

(4) Review of completed procedures for implementation

The following procedures were reviewed by the NRC inspector:

No violations or deviations were identified.

f.lthough no violations were noted, the following two concerns were

identified during the inspection:

(1) Technical Specification cross reference in UNT-7-004 identifies

NE-2-102 as the procedure for completing surveillance 4.2.2.2a.

. The cross reference also identifies SIT-TP-725 as the procedure

for initial performance. Procedure NE-2-102 does not exist. It

has not been written. Since SIT-TP-725 was used for initial

performance, the surveillance is current. No means of tracking

'

..

has been established to ensure that NE-2-102 is issued prior to

the next required performance date.

(2) Technical Specification cross reference in UNT-7-004 identifies

OP-903-100 as the procedure for completing surveillance

4.8.4.2al. This procedure addresses the requirements of

surveillance 4.8.4.2a2. The MOV overload bypass devices

required to be tested are listed on Table 3.8-2. All of these

devices are tested in Procedure OP-903-100 under the 4.8.4.2a2

criteria. None of the devices are governed by the 4.8.4.2a1

criteria. A Technical Specification change should be noted on

'

the cross raference and/or Procedure OP-903-100 that none of the

MOV overload bypass devices are governed by Surveillance

4.8.4.2al.

b. Instrumentation Calibration Not Covered by Technical Specifications

An inspection was conducted of the licensee's instrumentation

calibration program. Areas examined included the following items:

(1) Establishment of a master calibration schedule

(2) Assignment of duties and responsibilities

.(3) Proper documentation data

. 7. Control of Design Changes and Modifications

The NRC inspector reviewed the licensee's nuclear operations management

manual and Procedures PE-2-006 and PMP-302. These documents outline the

requirements and responsibilities'for.the preparation, control, and review

of station modifications from request through implementation and final

closecut. The station modification package is the vehicle by which design

changes and modifications are made and the use of the forms and documents

that become_ a part of the station modification package (SMP) provide the

required control of design changes. The initiating document from the

station modification request (SMR) provides for the identification,

review, evaluation, and approval of design input. Upon receiving the SMR

the action engineer includes a checkoff list of possible inclusions in the

station modification (SM).

The NRC inspector ascertained the requirements for the assurance

'that the changes do not involve an unreviewed' safety question is catisfied

by the required inclusion in SMP of a nuclear safety review checklist. A ,

positive response to any 'of the' questions on the checklist require that a 1

1

i

-i .

'

.

10

nuclear evaluation form be completed and included in the SMP. This form

requires the design engineer to review and evaluate all the nuclear safety

questions outlined in 10 CFR 50.59.

An interview with two action engineers, was conducted and the NRC

inspector found them to be knowledgeable of the safety /nonsafety-related

classification requirements.

The fire protection guidelines of RG 1.120 are similarly handled by the

inclusion in the SMP of a fire protection / safe shutdown checklist. A

positive response to any of the questions on the checklist and other

.

criteria requires that a fire protection / safe shutdown review analysis

(FP/SSA) be prepared. This document reviews components and fire

protection features for changes to such, and reviews the location of

additional fire loading relative to the modification for impact to

Appendix R to 10 CFR 50 to ensure the level of fire protection does not

decrease. The fire protection / safe shutdown checklist and review form are

a part of a new procedure FP-1-022 that is not released but will be

implemented soon.

A document control system.has been administered that controls the release

and distribution of design change documents, controls changes to released

and approved documents, and provides for the control and recalling of

obsolete design change documents. The procedures referenced, particularly

QP-006-001, detail the controls of released documents.

When the SM is completed the administrative controls and Procedure

PE-2-006 require that a work completion notice (WCN) be sent out after the

operational documents are updated and the control room drawings are red

lined to reflect the changes. This WCN alerts all the reviewing

organizations that the modification is complete. This WCN is the official

notice for the updating of plant procedures, operator training, and the

posting of plant drawings that indicate a change is in place that effects

the drawing. Return of WCN to the station modification coordinator (SMC)

indicates the required documentation update has been completed except for

the affected as-built drawings, which is done prior to SM closeout.

The NRC inspector verified that the responsibility and method of reporting

to the NRC of design changes that are safety-related is established and it

will be an annual report filed 1 year after initial criticality by the

licensing group.

The inspection identified what seems to be a problem in the implementation

of the program although there were no deviations from the established

administrative control and procedure outlines. There is, however, a very I

large backlog of SMP in the WCN and drawing update stage. There were, in

'

fact, only 17 SMPs completely closed out and in project files with all

document updates done. There were 125 awaiting drawing update and 206

..

- _ . . . . ._

l '. g

'

.

t

11

SMPs completed but awaiting some other form of review or document update.

This backlog of SMPs causes some problems in the operational documents

such as the red line drawings, where in at least one case, 5 SMs were

. posted on the drawing as being completed but not marked on the drawing, as

well as 3 additional SMs marked up on the drawing. This represents a

total of 8 SMs affecting 1 drawing without any of them incorporated on the

. drawing. This is considered an open item (8520-01).

The NRC inspector reviewed the temporary modification to lifted leads and

jumpers requirements and found the procedure UNT-5-004 covers all the

requirements when used with additional form referenced in that procedure.

An examination of the temporary modification log indicated it was up to

date and that log entries were complete.

A field examination of the reactor protective system, the emergency safety

features, and the emergency diesel generator control cabinets revealed no

i lifted leads or jumpers in place.

No violations or deviations were identified.

8. QA Program Audits

.

This NRC inspection included activities for preparation and issue of the

! audit schedules, development of an audit plan and checklists, review of

objective evidence reviewed during the audit, audit report control and

distribution, and responses _to audits. In general, the audit program was

found to be an effective status of implementation. The Technical

Specification audit program development and vendor audit programs are

progressing satisfactorily and the operations QA program audit are being

i

satisfactorily implemented. The following audits were reviewed by the NRC

inspector:

Audits: 85-45 85-03 85-07 85-15 85-08

,

85-10 84-22 85-13 85-01

12

During this portion of tne audit two items were noted which are considered

an open item and an unresolved item, respectively.

a. QAP 302, paragraph 5.1.2.c requires onsite contr6ctors be audited

triennially. Beyond this, the program does not adequately

address the following areas: .

Auditing onsite contractors in a timely manner once onsite

Establishing an onsite contractor audit schedule

Notification and placement of contractors on a schedule

Identification of work scope to be audited

Tracking and timely closure of audit findings

Procedure for removal from site if necessary

A current example of this concern is Unitec Company. They were

qualified in Jely 1984 to work onsite but the first audit was not

completed until July 25, 1985. (0 pen Item 8520-02)

b. A review of vendor audit files found two active vendors had not

received the required annual evaluation. Southern Vital Records is

missing a 1984 evaluation and Siemens-Allis Company is missing the

1983 and 1984 evaluations. (Unresolved Item 8520-03)

No violations or deviations were identified.

9. Phase III Quality Activities

The inspection in this area concluded that activities committed to are

being effective!y implemented. Commitments include audits, procedure

reviews, and test data reviews. In the event any test deficiencies are

noted, they are tracked via the CIWA system. Plant quality does

get involved with all required holdpoints as deemed required in CIWA

resolutions. Phase III operations QA audits included 84-45, 84-46, 85-01,

and 85-05. An audit of M&TE activities is scheduled for August, 1985.

No violations or deviations were identified.

10. Auditor and Inspector Training

The inspection included verifying certification documents were current,

all necessary supporting documentation was available, and responsibilities

coincided with training and qualifications. All aspects of the training

._ _ _ _ _

.*

,

13

program reviewed during this audit were found to be effectively

implemented.

No violations-or deviations were identified.

11. Control Room Ventilation System Emergency Outside Air Intake Valves

The FSAR discusses the design criteria for control room Nabitability in

Chapter 6.4. The criteria used for location and power supply for the

valves is discussed. The ability to operate the system from the control

room with the loss of a vital bus is one of the design criteria.

OP-03-014, " Control Room Heating and Ventilation," provided the normal

lineup for these valves. Contrary to the FSAR, all valves were normally

aligned closed. The NRC inspector found no evidence that a proper

10 CFR 50.59 review was conducted to calculate dose rates which an

operator would experience if these valves had been manually opened from

outside the control room. When the licensee was informed of this dis-

crepancy, a change was made to the procedure (June 26, 1985).

This is considered a violation.

12. Operational Mode Changes

On June 11, 1985, Waterford 3 Steam Electric Station was in Mode 5 (cold

shutdown) when operations personnel were performirg Surveillance Procedure

OP-903-069, " Integrated Emergency Diesel Generator / Engineered Safety

Features Test." As part of the above procedure, operations personnel were

-

attempting to prove the operability of the Emergency Diesel Generator "B"

automatic load sequence timer as required by Technical Specification 4.8.1.1.2.d.12. While testing Load Block 7, Relay S7X actuated in 121.6

seconds, which was outside the plus/minus 10% tolerance of the sequenced

load block time (168 plus/minus 16.8 seconds). However, operations

personnel did not review the test data until 1545 hours0.0179 days 0.429 hours 0.00255 weeks 5.878725e-4 months on June 20, 1985.

Waterford 3 entered Mode 4 (hot shutdown) at 1028 hours0.0119 days 0.286 hours 0.0017 weeks 3.91154e-4 months on June 20, 1985,

with Emergency Diesel Generator B inoperable.

Technical Specification 4.0.4 requires that " Entry into an OPERATIONAL- -

MODE or other specified conditions shall not be made unless the

surveillance requirement (s) associated with the limiting condition for

-operation'have been performed within the stated surveillance interval or

as otherwise specified."

A

LP&L Operating Procedure OP-10.001, Revision 4, " General Plant

Operations," requires that when entering Mode 4 (hot shutdown) both

emergency diesel generators be operable.
