REGION III STATUS REPORT DAVIS-BESSE LOSS OF FEEDWATER EVENT JULY 3, 1986 Plant Status The plant remains in cold shutdown. The primary system is filled with a nitrogen bubble in the pressurizer.

Restart Activities M0 VATS testing, environmental qualification work and other maintenance activities continue on the 167 safety-related motor-operated valves onsite.

The licensee has completed all planned work on 125 valves and returned them to service.

The NRC test review team continues to provide coverage of licensee testing activities. The licensee's System Review and Test Program (SRTP), includes 284 tests of which 15 will be performed following criticality. This program ,

consists of 172 existing, or modified, surveillance tests and 112 new test procedures. To date 106 tests have been performed. I Other Activities A new reactor coolant pump (RCP) rotating element (shaft and impeller) has arrived on site and the licensee is making preparations for its installation.

Service Water Pump 1-1, one of three pumps in the system has been repaired and I reinstalled. The pump will be tested after its motor has been reinstalled.

1 The licensee has inspected more than 400 safety related electrical I terminations and splices. Approximately 800 remain to be inspected. The l licensee expects to complete the inspections by the end of July. Only one of  !

the 193 Raychem installations inspected so far was acceptable. The licensee has developed a program to test unacceptable Raychem installations to l determine if they may be used without rework. Fabricated samples and samples j l

removed from the plant have been sent to Acton Labs (Acton, MA) for testing. l The testing is expected to be completed by July 25, 1986. The licensee's l

repair, replacement and engineering review of items requiring environmental l qualification (EQ) is continuing. The NRC EQ inspection team will return in '

August to complete their inspection.

Miscellaneous IBEW Local 245 remains on strike, with no settlement in sight. Security and contractor personnel have not been significantly affected by the strike.

d On July 11, 1986, an ACRS meeting will be held to discuss the licensee's restart activities.

On July 16, 1986, Congressman Markey will hold hearings on the NRC's methods of regulating licensee's with management weaknesses. Davis-Besse will be one of the plants discussed.

On July 24, 1986, the licensee and NRC staff will brief the Commission on the Davis-Besse restart.

The hearing on NRC approval of the licensee's request to bury byproduct material onsite was delayed as a result of the strike. The licensee has requested that the hearing be rescheduled to occur near the end of July.
