Report SWEC-SQN-45 and SWEC-SQN-51 Surveillance, Frisking, and Outage Work I

I. Introduction During the plant operations inspection of September 6 through October 5, 1985, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) identified one violation, one concern related to a previous violation, and one inspector followup item which were included in the Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation (SWEC) systematic analysis:

A. A02851101010-001, SI Test Failure to Switch to Test Position; B. 402851101010-002, Frisking Noncompliance; and C. A02851101010-003, Outage Work Deficiencies, Housekeeping.

During an inspection of November 18-21, 1985 the NRC inspector identified an additional example of frisking noncompliance which was included in the SWEC systematic analysis.

D. A02851216011-001, Frisking Noncompliance - Repeat Violation Employee Concerns Task Group (ECTG) verification for this repeat frisking violation is included with IB above.

Information on the background, the corrective actions taken, the verification methodology and analysis the completion status, and any pertinent references for these items is included in this report.

II. Verification of SWEC Items A. A02851101010-OO1, SI Test Failure to Switch to Test position

1. Background The NRC inspection determined that during a test of the Control Room Air Intake Chlorine Detection System on August 27, 1985, an SQN technician failed to place switch HS-43-2058 in the test position before introducing chlorine fumes into the system as required by Surveillance Instruction SI-240, Revision 11 "Funtional Test of Control Room Air Intake Chlorine Detection System." This resulted in an engineered safety future actuation (control room isolation) when the chlorine fumes were injected into the system. This employee had not been in the maintenance area when a memorandum on following instructions had been issued on or about July 22, 1985, in response to IFI 327, 328/85-26-07.

2. Corrective Actions Taken SQN attributed this violation to personnel error and took appropriate disciplinary action against the employee. The control room ventilation system was returned to normal immediately in accordance with System Operating Instruction (SOI)-30.1, Revision 14 " Control Building and Control Room Heating, Air Conditioning and Ventilation System" and the need to follow established procedures was re-emphasized to the instrument maintenance personnel (reference B).
3. Verification Methodology The SWEC concern. identified for Employee Concerns Task Group (ECTG) verification was stated as follows:

RIMS # Issue RIMS Item A02851101010 During Surv. Testing RIMS-OO1 the Technician Failed to place switch in the test position. Result:

Engineered Safety Featured Actuation / Control Room Isolation.

ECTG reviewed the Sequoyah Compliance Licensing files for internal and external correspondence related to this issue.

This review of the pertinent documentation formed the basis for this verification activity.

4. Verification Analysis The ECTG review of the pertinent documentation indicated that the NRC item was adequately resolved. The NRC found the SQN response to be acceptable and closed the violation in Report 86-15, dated April 4, 1986.

l l 5. Completion Status Based on the SQN corrective actions, compliance with requirements, and NRC closure of the item, no further action on this item is required. This SWEC item is closed.

i B. A02851101010-002 and A02851216011, Frisking Noncompliance

1. Background

The NRC inspectors observed (References A and F) further i

examples of noncompliance to Radiological Control Instruction i RCI-1, Revision 27 " Radiological Hygiene Control" as cited in a previous violation (85-26-03), dated September 6, 1985. In

' these examples, employees were observed exiting regulated areas l without performing adequate hand and feet frisking. Additional l Page 2 of 5 l

l L

a violations were not issued as TVA was in the process of implementing corrective action for the earlier violation. NRC requested (Reference F) a supplemental response detailing how full compliance will be achieved.

2. Corrective Actions Taken TVA stated (Reference H) that a health physics technician would be assigned to the maintenance section to provide additional training and assure awareness of Health Physics procedures and practices. In their supplemental response (Reference G), SQN outlined corrective actions including (1) signs at main egress stations detailing proper frisking techniques: (2) clocks at these stations to help personnel comply with frisking time requirements; (3) disciplinary action for violators; and (4) quality assurance staff weekly surveillances for personnel dosimetry and frisking compliance.
3. Verification Methodology The SWEC concerns identified for ECTG verification was stated as follows:

RIMS # Issue RIMS Item A02851101010 Noncompliance to HP RIMS-OO2 Frisking Procedures Training Program to be implemented. Frisked feet but not hands per procedure.

A02851216011 Repeat violation RIMS-001 concerning personnel frisking noted.

Additional response with corrective actions required.

ECTG reviewed the Sequoyah Compliance Licensing files for internal and external correspondence related to the issue. This review of the pertinent documentation formed the basis for this verification activity.

4. Verification Analysis The ECTG review found that the NRC violation was closed in NRC inspection Report 86-15 dated April 4, 1986. NRC noted at this time that they reviewed the SQN quality assurance audits of surveillances for personnel dosimetry and frisking. It was noted that SQN audits for strict compliance to Health Physics practices had improved and the inspector observed an increased awareness among plant personnel of proper placement of dosimetry and frisking techniques.

5. Completion Status

' Based on the SQN corrective actions, compliance with L requirements, and NRC closure of the item, no further action is required. This item is closed.

C. A02851191919-003, Outage Work Deficiencies

! 1. Background

}' The NRC inspector noted several housekeeping discrepancies during a partial walkdown of the accessible portions of the Component Cooling Water System on Units 1 and 2; General l housekeeping in several areas was marginal; new piping segments j were attached to existing fire protection piping using masking iI tape; valve labels and location identifiers were not clear and conduit was degraded (no details available). Followup of plant-h housekeeping under SQA-66, Revision 9 " Plant Housekeeping," and F Operations Section Letter - Administrative (OSLA)-99 " Auxiliary b Unit Operator Duties" (dated February 27, 1986) was to be taken under IFI 85-32-02.

2. Corrective Actions Taken

, During the inspection SQN attributed these discrepancies to outage activities, and stated that corrective action of such discrepancies should occur during the routine, monthly 3

housekeeping tours performed under SQA-66. Identification of

/t such discrepancies is to be done by Auxiliary Unit Operators in accordance with OSLA-99. .

3. Verification Methodology The SWEC concern identified for ECTG verification was stated as follows:

k- RIMS # Issue RIMS Item e

A02851101010 Various Discrepancies RIMS-003 f Attributed to Outage

  • Work-Poor Housekeeping, h conduit Degradation, Valve Mislabeling.

{

1 t ECTG reviewed the Sequoyah Compliance Licensing files for

, internal and external correspondence related to this issue.

This review of the pertinent documentation formed the basis for this verification activity.

l

4. Verification Analysis J The ECTG review of the pertinent documentation indicated that the NRC has not closed this item. The housekeeping problem was k identified as an NRC violation (85-45-09) in February 1986 f (Reference C). SQN's response (Reference D) stated that cleanup Page 4 of 5 A

activities had not been completed because of the continuing SQN plant outage; that housekeeping would continue and a complete plant cleanup program would be completed before start up. This response was found acceptable to the NRC in Reference E.

5. Completion Status SQN's planned corrective action for this issue was accepted by the NRC. Following corrective action implementation and NRC closure, this SWEC concern can be closed.
