4.0 Other Items of Interest On July 27, 1987'a contractor Security Sergeant was given a routine annual physical examination, which includes a drug screening test. On August 4, the licensee and NRC were notified by the contractor that the individual had tested positive for marijuana.

5.0 NRC Activities During the Period Three NRC Resident Inspectors monitored plant activities between July 30 and August 13, 1987. _These individuals consisted of the following:

Thomas P. Johnson - Senior Resident Inspector Richard J. Urban - Resident Inspector Larry E. Myers _ - Resident Inspector The monthly resident inspection report (50-277/87-17; 50-278/87-17) was issued on July 31, 1987. The report covered the period from June 1 to July 17, 1987.' Areas inspected included' operational safety, shutdown order commitments, radiation protection, physical security, control room activi- 3 ties and demeanor, reportable events, surveillance testing, refueling and outage activities, maintenance, and outstanding items. This inspectio'n report identified one violation of the plant Technical Specifications in that the licensee failed to perform a surveillance test on the Unit 2 drywell spray system within the required time.

Inspection Report 50-277/87-16; 50-278/87-16 was issued on August 6, 1987.

This inspection was performed by specialist inspector Mr. A. Varela of Region I and encompassed review of licensee responses and subsequent analysis and modifications of masonary walls related to IE Bulletin 80-11, j Masonary Wall Design. One violation was issued because a lack of pro- I cedural documentation prevented confirmation that all walls whose failure could affect safety related equipment were identified.

Three inspectors are on site the week of August 10, 1987 to perform an inspection of the licensee Quality Assurance Program. The inspectors are Mr. G. Napuda and Mr. M. Dev of Region I and Mr. R. Wharton from NRC headquarters. The results of this inspection will be provided in a future status report.
