DH75 valves. DH7A and 78 valves are normally open isolation valves for the BWST. DH7A controls the BWST supply to one ECCS train (HPI, LPI and CS pumps) and Dh78 controls the supply to the other ECCS trai An equipment operator (E0) had been instructed by a reactor operator to close manual valve BW-7 as part of a valve line up to complete the dreining of the spent fuel pool. The E0 stated that he could not find BW-7, but found DH7A and 78. He proceeded to close the motor operated DH7A and 75 from the local control switches. The EO immediately returned to the control room and reported that he had closed DH7A and 78. The reactor operator properly reopened DH7A and 78 on learning of the error. Based upon the computer printout, the valves were closed approximately seven minute The inspector reviewed the event and held discussions with the personnel involved. The findings of this review are A properly reviewed temporary modification (T-3431) to procedure SP 1104.29 was being used to complete the pump-out of the spent fuel pool, All the valves on the temporary procedure excapt BW-7 were located inside the Auxiliary Building. These valves were aligned by two other operator The third operator scheduled to make rounds outside the building was instructed by the reactor operator to close BW 7 to complete the lineup. The reactor operator stated that he felt the instructions were clear and he remembered saying that BW-7 was a manual valv The 10 with the access key inhand proceeded to the valve and pipe trench connecting the BWST to the Auxiliary Building. The BWST is located outside the Auxiliary Building. A steel grate-covered, key-locked pipe trench is used to connect the BWST to the ECCS equipment inside the Auxiliary Building, The following is based upon an interview with the E0:
.
- He could not locate a valve tagged BW *
-
He found two remote control switches marked DH7A and DH7 He noted that the valves were motor operated, but that the
'
actual valves were not tagged with the valve number, however, the control cable from the switches could be traced to the valve . .

.
-
He did not remember hearing the instruction that the valve he was to close was manua He did not know at the time that DH7A and DH7B were in a safety related syste He felt at the time he was closing the right valves, although there was some initial confusion but not sufficient to go back to clarify the instructions (did not know that there was a telephone located around the corner from the BWST).
-
After closing DH-7A and 73, he went straight back to the control room and questioned why he had been sent out to close motor operated valves that could be closed from the control roo He had been employed with the company for approximately 6 months and was in the company's licensed operator training program. He had not been specifically instructed in part of the system. This was the first time he had been instructed to operate a valve on his own (normal company
,
policy is for. an EO in training to be directed by an experienced operator until he has been instructed in the '
operation of a system).
-
He had 6 years previous associated experience and training
,, prior to being employed by the compan He stated that he had a bad headache that shift (0000-0800 hrs) and had mentioned it to his foreman but felt he could make it through the shift. However, he felt new employees were under pressure during their probationary period to stay on the jo The valve position indications for DH7A and DH7B are located on the SFAS vertical panel. The valve positions are also monitored via the computer and any change in position is printed on the alarm typewriter. However, this change in valve positica is not alarme . The alarm printout for March 6,1979 indicated that DH7A and DH7B were closed at 4:08:25 and 4:08:39 and reopened at 4:15:15 -

be properly trained and indoctrinated to operate the equipmen For new persons who have not operated specific eqcipment, an EO or person having such training should accompany the person and instruct him in proper operatio On an SFAS initiating signal DH7A and DH7B get a confirmatory open signal (the valves are normally open during reactor oper-ation to insure the proper response time of the ECCS pumps).
Corrective action taken or being taken by the licensee includes: The employee was officially reprimande A copy of the LER and a memorandum from the Operations Engineer were sent to all operations personnel stressing the importance of the event, giving clear instructions, requesting clarification of instructions if there is any doubt, identification of systems, and reporting illnesses that could hamper performanc Design and procurement were initiated to provide key lock control over remotely operable safety related valve An expanded locked valve and logging system was initiated for vital safety related valve Also as part of the response to Bulletin 79-05 and 79-05A, the licensee is strengthening independent verifications of valve li-neups and changes to valve lineups.
l The licensee is currently evaluating the potential consequences of
- DH7A and DH7B being closed and a SFAS actuation occurring. Prelim-l inary results indicate that the HPI and LPI pumps would not have been damaged assuming DH7A and/or DH7B would open as designed on a SFAS actuation. This item is unresolved pending completion of this evaluatio (79-13-02)
l Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires written procedures to be established, implemented and maintained. The failure of the licensee to properly implement Temporary Modification T-3431 to procedure SP 1104.29, Clean Liquid Radwaste Operating Procedure, March 6,1979 is -
considered to be an item of noncompliance with Technical Specification 6.8.1. This is evident from the fact that:
i
! -
DH7A and DH7B were closed rather than BW-7 as called for in the procedure T-3431.
l
-
An operator who was not fully qualified by his own statement I was requested to close BW-7 contrary to the station superintendent's written policy, Special Order 7 .

The closing of DH7A and DH73 represented a potential degra-dation of both trains of the ECCS and is contrary to the valve lineup required by procedure SP 1104.07, HPI System Operating Procedure, SP 1104.04 DH and LP Injection Operating Procedure and SP 1104.66 BWST Operating Procedur This particular LER was used as one of several to express Region III's concern over the number of personnel errors and breakdown in
management control systems at the station during a management con-ference held April 18,1979 (Inspection Report No. 50-346/79-08).
During that conference the licensee was asked to address what additional steps- they would take to reduce the number of personnel errors and improve their management controls. These concerns were addressed by the licensee and are documented in Inspection Report No. 50-346/79-1 . LER 79-34 The licensee reported by telephone on March 12, 1979 and via a 14 day written report dated March 23, 1979, the freezing of the common recirculation line of the HPI pumps 1-1 and 2-1 that was discovered on January 3,197 At the time of the event the plant management assessed the con-sequences of the frozen recirculation line and concluded the HPI pumps were still operable and would perform their intended function if called upon. This decision was documented in the shift foreman's log. In addition, the reactor operators were instructed to shut down the pumps if for some reason they operated and there was no flow into the reactor coolant syste On March 12, 1979 during a discussion on heat tracing problems between station personnel and TECo Power Engineering, the oper-ability of the HPI pumps with the minimum recirculation line frozen came u Based upon previous analysis, Power Engineer personnel concluded that the HPI pumps should have been considered inoperable at the time of the event and that the event should have been reported to the NR The recirculation line for the HPI pumps serves two functions. It provides for flow testing of the pumps and it provides a minimum flow path to prevent possible heatup and seizing of the pumps. A minimum flow path is needed to cover the situation in which the pressure in the reactor coolant system is greater than the discharge head of the pumps (approximately 1600 psig). In such situations the pumps could operate " dead headed" with no water flow threugh the pumps. Continued operation in this mode would cause the pump casing and internals to heat u The heating or temperature change affects internal pump clearances and can cause the pump to seize at some maximum temperature limi ,

The inspector reviewed licensee actions and evaluations with respect *
to this event to verify that the event was reviewed and corrective action was taken in accordance with regulatory requirements. The findings of this review are: The freezing of recirculation line was the result of design defects that did not compensate for extreme cold weather. The thermal sensing element controlling the heat tracing for the line is located in a sheltered area and thus did not sense the minimum exposure temperature for the line. Also there was an insulation installation defect at the apparent point of freezin An initial attempt to unblock the frozen recirculation line was made on January 3, 1979. The line was finally freed on January 5, 1979. At that time, Surveillance Test ST 5051.41 was successfully performed to demonstrate pump and recirculation line operabilit Temporary measures were taken to prevent refreezing of recirculation lin The licensee is currently evaluating further methods to prevent
. freezing of the lin TECo Power Engineer personnel are continuing to evaluate the consequences of the frozen recirculation line. Preliminary evaluation based on information from the pump manufacturer indicates that the pump could run " dead headed" for approximately ten minutes before the pump casing temperature would reach a critical leve This item will remain unresolved pending the final review of the
-
licensee's corrective action and engineering evaluatio (79-13-03) IE Bulletin 79-05A and 79-05B General Background The plant was shutdown for a general maintenance outage on March 30, 1979. The outage was initially scheduled for approximately 10 days. In view of the TMI-2 incident, the licensee extended the outage to provide the TECo staff time for independent review of information coming from the TMI-2 incident
-
and its relationship and effect on the Davis-Besse plant. This included review of administrative and procedural controls and plant design, supplemental operator and staff training, and review and implementation of the requirements of IE Bulletins
!79-05A and 79-05B. As of May 25, 1979, the plant remained in Mode 5 (Cold Shutdown).

NRC inspectors were dispatched to the site starting April 2, 1979 to follow day to day operations, to insure that the operating staff was trained on the events associated with the TMI-2 incident, and to conduct an independent review of the licensee's administrative and procedural controls over engineered safety feature This inspection report covers the period from April 2 to May 25, 1979. This is an interim report for the activities inspecte The inspection effort on the licensee's reponse to Bulletins79-05A and 79-05B is continuing and will be reported in a subsequent repor Training on the THI-2 Incident .
To insure that the plant operating staff was fully aware of the specific details of the TUI-2 incident, the inspectors partici-pated in special training classes conducted by the licensee.
The inspector lead off each training session with a discussion on specific events and/or actions that lead to the transient and the actions that lead to fuel damage and release of gaseous activity to the environment. The licensee's instructor continued the training with a detailed discussion of the sequence of events supplemented by graphs of operating parameters during the even Special emphasis was made on ensuring the operability of safety related systems, not blocking the ECCS systems, and not securing RdP's during transients, looking for failures in the PORV, not relying on one set of parameters for RCS condition and the need to look at the overall problem in assessing what to d Three training sessions were held starting April 9-11, 197 These sessions included the personnel from the five operating
'
shifts and technical staff personnel. The licensee also con-ducted simular training sessions for maintenance and IEC personnel on April 17 and 18, 1979 and Chemistry and Health Physics personnel on April 19 and 20,197 The inspector verified also by review of plans and discussions
-
with licensed operators that licensee sent their licensed
special training on the TMI-2 incident. These sessions were l
conducted April 16-20, 197 The licensee is planning to conduct additional training on
design changes and procedure changes resulting from their review of Bulletins79-05A and 79-053 when these changes are complete. The inspector will audit their training at that tim _ _ _ _ _ _ _ - - _ _ _ _ _ _ __ _ _ _ __._._._.._.. _ __ _ _.__._. _ _ _ . _ _ _ . _ _ . _ , ,_ _

The inspector verified that all operators and supervisory personnel were instructed in the provisions and directives for early h*RC notification of serious event Review of Engineered Safety Feature Procedural Lineups To verify the adequacy of alignment procedures for Engineered Safety Features (ESF), the inspectors reviewed the procedures for correct valve breaker, and switch alignments. The proce-dures were compared against current P&ID and single line diagram The systems included in this review were:
Core Flood - SP 1104.01 Decay Heat and Low Pressure Injection - SP 1104.04 Containment Spray - SP 1104.05 High Pressure Injection - SP 1104.07 .
Containment Air Cooling - SE 1104.08 Service Water - SP 1104.11 Component Cooling Water - SP 1104.12 Emergency Ventilation System - SP 1104.15 Borated Water Storage Tank - SP 1104.66 Safety Features Actuation System - ;P 1105.03 Steam Feedwater Rupture Control' System - SP 1105.16 Auxiliary Feedwater System - SP 1106.06 Emergency Diesel Generators - SP 1107.11 As a result of this review several omissions were found in valve and breaker verification checklists attached to the system procedures. The inspectors did not attempt to verify whether these omissions were covered by other procedures. This position was based upon the philosophy that the system procedure should list all valves and breakers associated with the syste Because the plant was in cold shutdown and the licensee was in the process of reviewing and revising these procedures as part of their response to Bulletins79-05A and 79-05B, the inspector's findings were submitted to the licensee for review and resolution.

~ Review of Procedural and Administrative Controls for Return to Service ,
To verify the adequacy of procedural and administrative controls for returning equipment or system to service following maintenance and testing, the inspector reviewed administrative, plant operating, and surveillance test procedures to determine the specific controls used. The procedures reviewed included the following (other procedures were reviewed without comment and ,
are not listed).

Since the licensee was also reviewing these procedures as part of their commitments to Bulletins79-05A and 79-053, the specific comments were supplied
.to the licensee for resolution. This item is unresolved pending completion of the licensee's resolution of the inspectors finding (79-13-05)
The general findings were: .
.
-
Administrative procedures were weak in providing policy, guidance and requirements to insure that the equipment and system are properly removed from service for maintenance or testing and the equipment or systems were properly returned to operation after a long outag Surveillance test procedures provide more control than the governing administrative procedure would indicate. However, some specific weaknesses were note Plant procedures are generally adequate, but are weak in establishing criteria for performing valve lineups prior to startup and use of checkoff list ,, Miniature tags are provided for use where large tags would obscure equipment status light or other indication These miniature tags are used on control boards, but the use is not mandator Locked Valves o
As a commitment in their response to Bulletin 79-05 and 79-05A, the licensee drafted a new procedure (AD 1839.02) to cover the control of locked valves in engineered safety systems. The inspector reviewed and commented on this initial draft prior to the procedure going through the licensee's internal review process. The final procedure will be reviewed as part of the inspection followup on Bulletins79-05A and 79-05 Review of the Licensee's Response to Bulletins 79-05 *
and 79-05A The licensee submitted their initial responses to all twelve items of Bulletin 79-05A on April 11, 1979. The inspectors reviewed this response and submitted comments to IE Headquarters on April 14, 1979. A special task force has been set up to ,

evaluate the licensee's response to the bulletin. A subsequent inspection will verify the specific commitrents made by the license Review of Surveillance Tests for Acceptance Criteria To verify that the surveillance testing acceptance criteria had been met on engineered safety features (EST) systems, the inspectors reviewed the last surveillance test on each ESF system. Seventy-five surveillance tests were identified dealing with ESF systems. The systems reviewed included:
Core Flood Decay Heat and Low Pressure Injection Containment Spray High Pressure Injection Containment Air Cooling Service Water Component Cooling Water Emergency Ventilation System Borated Water Storage Tank Safety Feature Actuation System Steam Feedwater Rupture Control System Auxiliary Feedwater System Emergency Diesel Generators Containment Building Hydrogen Purge System Co,ntrol Room Emergency Ventilation AC and DC Electrical Systems of the seventy-five procedures reviewed, 41 percent contained minor deficiencies in the final documentation that raised a concern over the thoroughness of the review of the surveillance tests by the designated reviewers. These findings ranged from failure to have all the signoffs on the test procedures, updating the procedures to cover changes made in the controlling admini-strative procedures and general regard for neatness, uniformity and completeness of recording data. To highlight these concerns, t
the inspector met with the designated reviewers as a group to discuss the specific problems. All these minor deficiencies t
were resolved and corrected by the licensee in a timely manner i
!
and the inspector has no further questions at this tim .
{ In the review of ST 5050.02.02, Core Flood System Isolation Valve l P/S Check, performed July 21, 1978, the inspector noted the data required by temporary procedure modification T-2289 (Step 6.2) was not taken as required. As apparent from the fact that the temporary

procedure had only the words " deleted by T-Mod" written across Step 6.2 (no T number), the latest revision of the procedure was not used to perform the test on July 21, 1978. Further review by the inspector
verified that this appeared to be an isolated case, since the surveil-lance test prior to and following this specific test were properly complete . Equipment Status Tanzing During a control room observation, the inspector noted that the licensee used plastic tags which state " closing fuse removed and/or breaker racked out" te signify that the equipment was out of servic There appeared to be no formal system to control these tags. No review or approval was required nor was any written record made of these tag On April 13, 1979 in Mode 5 the inspector observed that the licensee had plastic tags hanging on HPI pumps 1-1 and 2-1, containment spray pump 1-2 and the four reactor coolant pump control switches. Contain-ment spray pump 1-1 had its breaker racked out and there was no tag i
hung on the control room switch, indicating lack of specific control over the plastic tag The inspector verified by review of procedures PP 1102.02, Plant Startup, and PP 1101.10, Station Shutdown and Cooldown, that these procedures control racking in and out of the electrical breakers for the HPI and Containment Spray pumps under specified plant condition Procedure, SP 1103.06 - RC Pump Operations covers the racking in of the RCP's motor breaker during startup of the pump The present method of tagging the control room switches when a breaker is electrically disabled by either removal of control fuses or racking the breaker out does not appear to be in conformance with the standard ANSI 18.7-1972, paragraph 5.1.5.

The licensee stated that they would review the use and control of equipment status tags and revise their procedure accordingly. This item is unresolved pending the inspector's review of the changes to the tagging procedure. (79-13-06)
11. Auxiliary Feedwater Availability During Surveillance Testing The inspector reviewed surveillance test procedures ST 5071.01, AFS -
Monthly Test, and ST 5031.14, SFRCS Monthly Test, to determine ,
whether surveillance testing on one auxiliary feedwater train would make the other train inoperabl Based dpon this review, the inspector concluded that the testing of one train of auxiliary feedwater system (AFS) does not require
