.e' -. The inspector noted that the autoclave cylinder thermocouple on Autoclave No. 2 in Building X-342 installation appeared adequate except the electrical terminal block that -
_ had only one foundation mounting screw. An instrument first line manager demonstrated detailed knowledge of how the autoclave temperature instrumentation operated, (Section M1.1)_
e The inspector identified an inconsistent use of tagging out-of service equipment in 4 Buildings X-342, X-343, and X 344. Additionally, through discussions with the Work L Control Manager, the inspector ooteemined that out-of-service equipment tagging was inconsistent throughout the site. The inspector will monitor the certificatee's conective actions to ensure consistent use of " Control" tagging for out-of service equipment :
inspection followup item (IFl 070-7002/98002 02). (Section M1.2) e The inspector identified that instrument mechanics had not performed the required -
l independent verification for the restoration of leads on safety systems categorized as "Q" l . Items. This is a violation (VIO 070 7002/98002-01), in addition, the inspector noted that b the certificatee's conective action for Problem Report PR-PTS-97-05905 issued on
- June 26,19g7, was ineffective in ensuring thet electricians, electronic and instrument -
mechanics understood the requirements of performing an independent verification for the n - restoration ~of leads when required by a maintenance work package.- (Section M1.3):

- a.- Inspection Scope (88010)
The inspector reviewed the initial operator training program for compliance with Safety ]
Analysis Report (SAR) Section 6.6, " Training," requirements.
- b. - Observations and Findinas t
The inspector reviewed select training records for a process operator. in discussion with the inspector, the training manager explained that each process building has a building L
trainer that has expertise in cognizant building operations. The building trainer's
- responsibilities included mentoring operators in training and ensuring that existing.
ope'ators remained current with training requirements. Initial process operator training included successfully completing five qualification standard books that addressed each
_ cognizant building process. The inspector reviewed the five qualification standard books for effectiveness in teaching initial operator training course objectives. The contents of
- each qualification standard book included
-*- Administrative section discussed why and how the book was developed.
{
.e. Classroom training section listed the required training classes,
- e. Procedure review section listed the pertinent procedures required for the cognizant building processes.
o Operation review section attested that the operator in training had observed cognizant building processes with a qualified operator.-
-e : Operator training section evaluated the operator in training on controlling one process system under the direct supervision of a qualified operator. :
e- . Integrated instruction and proficiency watch section evaluated the operator in training's ability to make process adjustments for more than one process system under the direct supervision of a qualified operator.
- e - Emergency and casualty section evaluated the operator in training's ability to correctly react to changing process conditions and problems.
e Final evaluation section evaluated the operator in training's ability to proficiently
- operate cognizant building processes.
4 i
Each section had an operator in training and a building tralner sign off to certify that the operator in training understood the material presented in the section. In addition, the operator in training was required to successfully complete three written comprehensive examinations,
- c. Conclusions The inspector determined that the initlei operator training program meets the requirements of the certification. The actions imposed by the qualification standard book demonstrated that the operators in training had a good working knowledge of process operations.
- 11. Maintenance M1 Conduct of Maintenance M1.1 Autoclave Thermocouple Replacement
- a. inspection Scope (88025)
The inspector verified the accuracy and guidance of a maintenance work package for troubleshooting and repairing an autoclave cylinder thermocouple, in addition, the inspector discussed failure modes of autoclave cylinder temperature instrumentation with a first line manager (FLM),
- b. Observations and Findinos The inspector visually inspected the two autoclave cylinder thermocouple instc!bilons for l
I Autoclave No. 2 in Building X-342. The inspector observed that the thermocouple lead wires from the electrical terminal block to the two autoclave cylinder thermocouples were evenly twisted and secured with wire ties. The inspector noted that the electrical terminal block was secured inside the autoclave with only one screw and was easily rotated on the
)
electrical terminal block foundation. However, the inspector observed that the wires leading from the electrical terminal block to the autoclave cylinder thermocouples were secured to the electrical terminal block foundation with a wire tie. In discussions with the i- inspector, the instrument FLM explained that the instrument mechanic installed the wire tie at the electrical terminal block foundation to ensure that operators could not accidentally pull the autoclave cylinder thermocouple wires from the electrical terminal block. The inspector noted that the current Building X-342 Autoclave No. 2 cylinder thermocouple MWP did not require the installation of a wire tie from the electrica terminal foundation to the autoclave cylinder thermocouple wires.
The inspector discussed the failure modes of autoclave temperature instrumentation with an instrument FLM. The instrument FLM explained that the two autoclave mounted thermocouples independently transmit signals to the autoclave temperature recorder.
The instrument FLM explained that two primary failure modes caused incorrect autoclave cylinder temperature readings. The two primary failure modes were a failed autoclave cylinder thermocouple or feed-through (fitting used to protect and seal the thermocouple wires through the autoclave shell). An instrument FLM explained that 95 percent of the thermocouple failures caused a high autoclave cylinder temperature reading and alarm.
5 l
=
However, the failure mode for an autoclave cylinder thermoccuple feed-through was unpredictable. The failure of an autoclave cylinder thcmoroupk. feed-through results in
- either the grounding of a thermocouple wire to the autoclave shell or the autoclave cylinder thermocouple wires shorting together.
The inspector visually inspected one autoclave in Buildings X-342, X-343, and X-344, to verify that each autoclave cylinder thermocouple had an independent autoclave cylinder thermocouple feed-through for the two autoclave cylinder thermocouples. The inspector -
noted that neither of the autoclaves observed in Buildings X-343 nor X-344 used wire ties ,
to secure the wires leading to the autoclave cylinder thermocouples to the electrical terminal block foundation as noted on Autoclave No. 2 in Building X-342. However, the '-
inspector observed that the electrical thermocouple terminal blocks on autoclaves in Buildings X-343 or X 344 did not rotate. The inspector noted that the maintenance work . ,
- package (MWP)s for the observed Building X-343 and X-344 autoclave cylinder i thermocouples did not address the use of wire ties for securing the autoclave cylinder thermocouple leads to the electrical terminal foundation,
- c. Conclusions
- The inspector noted that the thermocouple installation was adequate except the electrical' terminel block on Autoclave No. 2 in Building X-342, which had only one foundation mounting screw. The autoclave cylinder thermocouple replacement MWPs lacked
[
' ' technical guidance for securing the autoclave cylinder thermocouple leads to the.
electrical terminal block foundation. In discussion with the inspector, an instrument FLM demonstrated a detailed and comprehensive knowledge of how the autoclave
- temperature instrumentation worked.
M1.2 - Taanina of Out-of-Service Eeuioment
- a. Inspection ScopeISB025)
The inspector performed a walk down of Buildings X 342, X-343, and X-344 and observed severalinconsistencies regarding tagging out-of-service equipment.
b; Qhagrvations and Figlinga !
Tcchnical Safety Requirement Section 3.0, " Administrative Controls," and SAR Sections 6.4, " Maintenance," and 6.5, " Operations," addressed the requirements for controlling inoperable or out-of-service equipment. The certificatee developed and used Procedure XP2-SH-IS1034, " Accident Prevention / Equipment Control Tags," Revision 0, to establish a uniform method of integrating accident prevention and equipment control-information through the use of a tagging program. Procedure XP2-SH-IS1034, " Accident Prevention / Equipment Control Tags," Revision 0, addressed, in part, the use of a
" Caution Tag" for special instructions that concemed the operatica, condition, status, etc.,
for pormanently installed systems / equipment. Section 5.5 of Procedure XP2-SH-IS1034, Accident Prevention / Equipment Control Tags," Revision 0, required that the facility
- custodian determine appropriate tag (s) for equipment that was out-of-service.
s 6
The inspector noted that " Caution" tags used to identify autoclaves that were out-of-service were used inconsistently between Buildings X-342, X-343, and X-344. In
- discussions with the inspector, the Building X-344 FLM explained that equipment that wts out-of-service in Building X-344 was not tagged with a " Caution" tag. The Building X-344 FLM explained that the operator control log and a status board were used to control the start-up of out-of service equipment.- The inspector verified that the Building X-344 operator log and status board accurately identified the status of each autoclave in .
- Building X 344. - The Building X-343 FLM explained to the inspector that operators hung
" Caution" tags on Building X-343 equipment that was out-of-service. The mspector noted Building X-343 out-of-service autoclaves had " Caution" tags hung on the autoclave control panel with written information that described the reason for the " Caution" tag. In addition, the inspector observed that " Caution" tags were used to identify out-of-service equipment in Building X-342. On January 8, the Autoclave Building Manager issued a problem report (PR-PTS-98-00177) identifying inconsistent use of " Caution" tags On'-
January g, the inspector verifled that operators had placed " Caution" tags on all -
out-of-service equipment in Building X-344. In addition, the Work Control Manager -
explained to the inspector that the certificatee would change Procedure XP2-SH-IS1034,- R
" Accident Prevention / Equipment Control Tags," Revision 0, to ensure consistent use of '
, " Control" tagging (including ." Caution" tags) throughout the site.
