Licensee Action on Previous Inspection Items

(Closed) Inspector Followup Item (IFI) 302/87-10-07:

The licensee has

revised chemistry calibration procedures CH-232 (revision 15 dated May 18,

1987) and CH-233 (revision 9 dated May 18,1987) to require the utiliza-

tion of equipment clearances to remove and restore radiation monitors to

service following calibration. The verifications required with the use of

an equipment clearance should ensure that radiation monitors are returned

to service with the proper flow lineup.

(Closed) IFI 302/86-35-04:

The licensee has revised the FinL Safety

Analysis Report (FSAR) (revision 8 dated July 1, 1987) to correct inaccur-

ate st3tements regarding the necessary volume of water required to achieve

the cold shutdown condition.

Section 10.2.1.6 cf the FSAR has been

clarified to include the sources of water and amount needed for cooldown.

(0 pen) IF. 302/85-19-04:

The licensee was informed by the SBM switch

manufacturer, General Electric, that replacement parts are not available

and that a total switch replacement would have to be performed.

The

licensee has obtained all of the 314 switches to be replaced and has

replaced 22 switches to date. The switch replacement program is presently

underway, however the majority of the switches can on1v be replaced after

plant shutdown.

The switch replacement will be completed following the

refueling outage scheduled to begin in September 1987.

(Closed) IFI 302/87-10-08:

Procedure SP-216 was revised as revision 6 to

enhance the performance of the procedure.

The revised procedure was

successfully completed on June 10, 1987.

(Closed) IFI 302/87-01-05:

The licensee has evaluated the use of the

non-quality parts and has determined that these parts are adequate for use

in the safety-related system.

To assure the parts in stock are properly

classified, the licensee qualified the existing parts as safety-related

and re-assigned them to their safety-related (quality) parts inventory.

(Closed) IFI 302/84-22-04:

The applicable instrumentation, AH-205-A,B,C-

DPI , AH-206- A,B ,C-DP I , AH-601- A,B ,C-DPI , AH-602- A ,B ,C-DPI , AH-603- A,B ,C-

DPI, and AH-604-A,B,C-DPI was added to the licensee's instrument calibra-

tion program (PM-200).

This instrumentation was calibrated and is now on

a scheduled calibration interval.

The inspector reviewed these procedure revisions and determined that these

revisions appear to correct the procedures' deficiencies.

To assure that the procedure revisions completely resolve the deficiency

issue, the licensee plans to issue a Technical Specification Interpreta-

tion (TSI) on TS 3.3.2.1, Table 3.3-3, items 1.a.5,1.b.4, 2.c, 3.b,

4.c.6, and 5.f to address the testing limits for the automatic actuation

logic. This item remains open pending the licensee issuance and inspector

i

review of the TSI.

(0 pen) IFI 30P/87-16-02: The licensee is still conducting their review of

IE Circular 77-14.

This review is expected to be complete by July 15,

1987. This item remains open pending completion of the licensee's review.

(Closed) Violation 302/86-39-01: Failure to perform an adequate 10 CFR 50.59 review and failure to perform post-modification testing.

The

licensee's response dated March 12, 1987, was considered acceptable by

Region II.

The licensee's response stated that the violation actually

resulted from a failure to docunent in the Modification Approval Records

(MAR) package all references used in the development of the modification.

The inspector reviewed the following documentation-

!

-

Memorandum from K. Baker and R. Widell to All Nuclear Operations

Engineering and Site Nuclear Services Personnel, dated March 11,

1987, (WPN 87-0112).

This memorandum basically reminds all enginee-

ring personnel of the need to include as a " reference" all appropri-

ate documents that were used in the development of Modification

Approval Record / Field Change Notice (MAR /FCN) design package and not

attached to the package.

Memorandum from R. Mungatroyd, Nuclear Maintenance Superintendent to

-

all Maintenance Planners and Supervisors dated December 2,1986 (MA

86-158). This memorandum's purpose was to bring to the planner's and

supervisor's attention the need for adequately identified post

maintenance testing following performance of work activities.

The inspector was informed by licensee personnel that temporary modifica-

tion (T-MAR) T86-06-20-01 was removed from where it had been installed and

the modification package was awaiting final review prior to closure.

The inspector reviewed minutes from a Post Maintenance Test Meeting dated

May 6, 1987. This is the first of a series of meetings being conducted to

expand post maintenance testing (PMT) requirements beyond what is required

by procedure CP-113, Handling and Controlling Work Requests and Work

Packages, by the shop planners.

This meeting established a steering

committee and task force to expand post maintenance testing activities.

The meeting minutes state that the task force leader is to establish and

identify milestones, define the scope of the task, and identify any major

obstacles.

Additionally the leader is to contact the Institute of Nuclear

Power Operations for references for companies with the best PMT programs.

A second meeting was proposed for May 21, 1987. The long term goal is to

establish an improved PMT program in late 1988.

This date, however, is

not consistent with the licensee's response which requires improve PMT

implementation by October 1987.

This inconsistency was brought to the

dttention of the Supervisor, Site Nuclear Engineering Services.

The

development of the PMT program and implementation will be reviewed during

i

'

subsequent inspections.

The inspectors concluded that the licensee had

corrected the previous problem and was in process for developing correc-

tive action to preclude recurrence of similar problems.

Corrective

actions stated in the licensee's response either have been implemented or

were under development.

(Closed) Deviation 302/86-39-02:

FSAR requirements are not being met in

that RM-L4 has been inoperable since September 1979.

The licensee's

response dated March 12, 1987, was considered acceptable to Region II.

The inspector received a proposed change to the FSAR which is to be

submitted to the NRC on or before July 1987.

This FSAR change deletes

RM-L4 and its associated circuitry from the FSAR. The inspector was also

informed that T-MAR 79-08-78, which removed RM-L4 from service, was now a

permanent modification.

The inspector concluded that the licensee had

corrected the previous problem and developed corrective action to preclude

recurrence of similar problems.

Corrective action stated in the

licensee's rerponse will be implemented on or before July 1987.

Unresolved Items

Unresolved items were not identified during this inspection period.

5.

Review of Plant Operations

The plant started this inspection period in power operation (Mode 1). On

July 2 ,1987, a reactor trip occurred due to a failure of the "A" Inverter

(VBli-1A) (see paragraph 7.a of this report for details of the reactor

trip).

Following repairs to VBIT-1A, a reactor startup was performed. The

reactor achieved criticality at approximately 8:12 PM followed by the

resumption of power operation at 9:25 PM on July 3.

The plant remained in

.

power operation for the rest of the inspection period,

a.

Shift Logs and Facility Records

The inspector reviewed records and discussed various entries with

operations p)ersonnel to verify compliance with the Technical Specifi-

cations (TS and the licensee's administrative procedures.

The following records were reviewed:

Shift Supervisor's Log; Reactor Operator's Log; Equipment

Out-0f-Service Log; Shift Relief Checklist; Auxiliary Building.

Surveil-

Operator's Log; Active Clearance Log; Daily Operating (STI); and

lance Log; Work Request Leg; Short Term Instructions

Selected Chemistry / Radiation Protection Logs.

In addition to these record reviews, the inspector independently

verified clearance order tagouts.

No violations or deviations were identified.

b.

Facility Tours and Observations

Throughout the inspection period, facility tours were conducted.to

observe operations and mainterience activities in progress.

Some-

operations and maintenance activity observations were conducted

during backshifts.

Also, during this inspection period, licensee

meetings were attended by the inspector to observe planning and

management activities.

The facility tours and observations encompassed the following areas:

security perimeter fence; control room; emergency diesel generator

room; auxiliary building; intermediate building; battery rooms; and,

electrical switchgear rooms.

During these tours, the following observations were made:

(1) Monitoring Instrumentation - The following instrumentation

and/or indications were observed to verify that indicated

parameters were in accordance with the TS for the current

operational mode:

Equipment operating status; area atmospheric and liquid

radiation monitors; electrical system lineup; reactor

operating parameters; and auxiliary equipment operating

parameters.

No violations or deviations were identified.

(2) . Safety Systems Walkdown - The inspector conducted a walkdown of

l

the Nuclear Service; Closed Cycle Cooling (SW) system to verify

that the lineup was in accordance with license requirements for

system operability and that the system drawing and procedure

correctly reflect "as-built" plant conditions.

The licensee operates this system in accordance with operating

procedure OP-408, Nuclear Services Cooling system. Valve Check

List I of this procedure specifies the valve positions required

for normal system operation.

During this walkdown on June 25,

.1987, the inspector observed that valve SWV-14, an inlet valve

to the "B" Nuclear Services Heat Exchanger (SWHE-1B), was in the

closed position vice the open position required by Valve Check

List I.

When informed 'of this finding, the nuclear shift

supervisor concurred that the valve was not in the correct

position and directed that the valve be opened.

This matter was discussed with the licensee's operations

personnel who stated that the valve had recently been positioned

in accordance with an equipment clearance (clearance number 6-54

dated June 19, 1987) after maintenance was performed on SWHE-18.

,

A review of this clearance revealed that valve SWV-14 was

'

directed to be restored to the closed position following tag

'

removal.

Compliance procedure CP-115, In-Plant Equipment Clearance and

Switching Orders, step 5.3.6.h requires that following removal

of a tag, the restoration position of a valve shall be obtained.

from the applicable operating procedure.

In this case the

clearance incorrectly direchd valve SWV-14 to be closed

contrary to procedure 0?-408,

Failure to adhere to the require-

ments of procedure CP-115 to obtain the cortect restoration

position of a valve is contrary to the requirements of TS 6.8.1

and is considered to be a violation.

Vi6Ltion (302/87-17-01):

Failure to adhere to the requirements

of plant procedures as required by TS 6.8.1.

This violation is similar to one cited in NRC Inspection Report

50-30?/86-35 (item a) in which a valve was restored to the

incorrect position following the removal of an equipment

clearance.

The licensee's corrective action associated with

this violation does not appear to have been sufficient to

i

prevent recurrence.

(3) Shift Staffing - The inspector verified that operating shift

staffing was in accordance with TS requirements and that control

room operations were being conducted in an orderly and profes-

i

sional manner.

In addition, the inspector observed shif t turn-

!

overs on various occasions to verify the continuity of plant

status, operational problems, and other pertinent plant informa-

l

tion during these turnovers.

-

pad conditions and disposal of contaminated clothing;

Area postings and controls;

-

Work activity within radiation, hinh radiation, and

-

contaminated areas;

Radiation Control Area (RCA) existing practices; and,

-

Proper wearing of personnel monitoring equipment, protec-

-

tive clothing, and respiratory equipment,

j

Area postings were independently verified for accuracy by the

inspectors.

The inspectors also reviewed. selected Radiation

Work Permits (RWPs) to verify that the RWP was current and that

the controls were adequate.

The implementation of the licensee's As low As Rear.nably

Achievable (ALARA) program was revicwed to determine personnel

involvement in the objectives and goals of the program.

No violations or deviations were identified.

.(6) Security Control - In the course of the monthly activities, the

Resident Inspectors included a review of the licensee's physical

security program.

The composition of the security organization

was checked to insure that the minimum number of guards were

available and that security activities were conducted with

proper supervision.

The performance of various shifts of the

,

l

security force was observed in the conduct of daily activities

'

to include; protected and vital area access controls, searching

i

of personnel, packages, and vehicles, badge issuance and

retrieval, escorting of visitors, patrols, and compensatory

posts.

In addition, the Resident Inspectors observed the

(a) During observation of the test performed on valve MSV-35 (a

main steam safety valve) to determine the pressure relief

setpoint, the inspector noticed that the steam system

pressure was approximately 920 psig.

Review of the

completed work package revealed that procedure SP-650, ASME

Code Safety Valves Test, step 8.2.4 required that the steam

system be operating normally at a pressure between

885-910 psig.

The actual steam pressure which existed

during this test was recorded on Data Sheet 1 of the

procedure. This data sheet depicted steam system pressures

of 917 psig and 920 psig during the tests.

The inspector

discussed this apparent discrepancy with the maintenance

supervisor who concurred that the test was performed at the

incorrect steam system pressure.

Failure to adhere to the requirements of procedure SP-650

is contrary to the requirements of TS 6.8.1 and is

considered to be another example of the violation discussed

in paragraph 5.b.(2) of this report.

(b) During a review of the post-maintenance testing performed

on July 3 in accordance with procedure SP-333, Control Rod

Exercises, following repair of the API, the inspector noted

that procedural steps 9.1.57 through 9.1.60 had not been

completed.

Procedure steps 9.1.57 through 9.1.60 provide

the switch lineups needed to recover from the safety

control rod (Rod #1 in Group #2) exercising mode.

The

inspector also noted that the " Procedure Approval and

Transmittal Sheet", which is used to document a supervisory

review of the completed data, did not document completion

of these steps.

The inspector also reviewed the data from the performance

of another procedure SP-333 that was performed to verify

operation of all the control rods' position indication

channels prior to the reactor startup. This SP-333, which

was completed on the same day and subsequent to the post-

maintenance test, was properly performed and provided

assurance that the cxtrol rod drive (CRD) system switch

lineup we.s correct.

,

Failure to adhere to the requirements of procedure SP-333

.

is contrary to the requirements of TS 6.8.1 and is

considered to be a violation. This violation is considered

s

to be another example of the violation discussed in para-

graph 5.b.(2) of this report.

(10) Radioactive Waste Controls - Solid waste compacting and selected

liquid releases were observed to verify that approved procedures

were utilized, that appropriate release approvals were obtained,

and that required surveys were taken.

No violations or deviations were identified.

(11) Pipe Hangers ar..i Seismic Restraints - Several pipe hangers and

seismic restraints (snubbers) on safety-related systems were

observed to insure that fluid levels were adequate and no

leakage was evident, that restraint settings were appropriate,

and that anchoring points were not binding.

No violations or deviations were identified.

Review of Licensee Event Reports and Nonconforming Operatichs Reports

a.

Licensee Event Reports (LERs) were reviewed for potentini generic

impact, to detect trends, and to determine whether corrective actions

appeared appropriate.

Events, which were reported immediately, were

reviewed as they occurred to determine if the TS were satisfied.

LERs were reviewed in accordance with the current NRC Enforcement

policy. LERs 86-23, 86-25 and 87-08 are closed.

(Closed) LER 86-25:

This LER reported the lack of independent DC

power sources for the 230 KV switchyard protective relays.

The

licensee has revised section 8.2.3.3 of the Final Safety Analysis

Report (FSAR) (revision 8 dated July 1,

1987) to clarify the

electrical system design reliability considerations.

These minor

changes modified the descriptions of the DC power sources.

(Closed) LER 86-23:

This LER reported operation outside the design

basis of the plant due to the addition of unanalyzed D.C. loads.

As

reported in NRC Inspection Report 50-302/87-10, the new battery has

been installed and tested.

On June 29, 1987, an Interoffice Corre-

spondence was issued by the Vice President Nuclear Operations to

establish a " Department Interface Summary" listing that identifies

the systems and the personnel in charge of these systems that need to

interface with Crystal River Unit 3 prior to conducting any activi-

ties on these systems.

b.

The inspector reviewed Nonconforming Operations Reports (NCORs) to

verify the following:

compliance with the TS, corrective actions as

identified in the reports or during subsequent reviews have been

accomplished or are being pursued for completion, generic items are

identified and reported as required by 10 CFR Part 21, and items are

reported as required by TS,

All NCORs were reviewed in accordance with the current NRC Enforce-

ment Policy.

Non-routine Operating Events

a.

At 10:42 AM on July 2, a reactor trlp cecurred from approximately 88%

power.

Prior to the reactor trip, technicians were performing

procedure SP-110, Reactor Protection System Functional Testing, and

were in the process of testing the

"B" AC reactor trip breaker (one

i

of two breakers which supply AC power to the control tod drive

mechanisms).

This breaker had been tripped opened per the procedure

but could not be re-closed.

Troubleshooting efforts to re-close the

breaker were in progress.

4

Not associated with this troubleshooting effort, the

"A" Inverter

(VBIT-1A), which is the normal power supply to the "A" 120 volt Vital

Bus (VBDP-3), failed due to a faulty capacitor.

This caused a

voltage drop in the power supplied to the vital bus and initiated an

automatic transfer to a backup transformer which is the alternate

source of power to the vital bus.

The voltage drop on VBDP-3 also

caused undervoltage sensing circuits associated with the "A"

AC

reactor trip breaker to actuate and trip the breaker open.

This

removed the remaining source of AC power from the control rod drive

mechanisms allowing them to deenergize and release the control rods

which fell into the reactor core.

The inspector arrived in the control room moments after the reactor

trip and verified proper plant response and performance of operator

actions.

The inverter was removed from service at 10:43 AM on July 2 and the

plant remained in the hotstandby (Mode 3) condition during trouble-

shooting and repair efforts.

On July 3, during the cooldown

conducted following the reactor trip, the thrust bearing on the motor

for the

"C" Reactor Coc'ent Pump (RCP-1C) overheated which caused a

failure of the pump's 3rd stage mechanical seal (this type of pump

has a three stage mechanical seal with each stage designed to

withstand full reactor coolant system pressure).

The pump was

secured and the 1st and 2nd pump seal stages verified to be function-

ing properly.

VBIT-1A was repaired at 5:15 PM on July 3 and was placed back in

service supplying power to VBDP-3.

A reactor startup was commenced

utilizing three reactor coolant pumps and the reactor was taken

critical at 8:12 PM.

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's post trip review and restart

justification and maintenance activities which were conducted

following the reactor trip.

In addition the Nuclear Shift Supervisor

(NSS) log was reviewed to determine compliance with the TS.

From

these reviews the following items were identified:

_ - _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

- _ _ _ - _ _ _ _ _ _ - _ - _ - _ _ _ _ _ _

..

(1) TS 4.8.2.1.2 requires that whenever a transformer is supplying

power to a vital bus instead of the normal source of power, it

shall be demonstrated operable within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

Procedure

SP-321. Power Distribution Breaker Alignment and Power Avail-

ability Verification, was written by the licensee to implement

this surveillance requirement.

From the review of the NSS log

and discussions with operations personnel, it appears that

procedure SP-321 was not performed as required and that the

,

I

transformer supplying VBDP-3 was not demonstrated to be operable

and functioning properly within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of its use as a power

source. The transformer was in use from 10:43 AM on July 2_until

5:15 PM on July 3 for a time period of approximately 30.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br />.

',

Failure to demonstrate the operability of the transformer

supplying power to VBDP-3 is contrary to the requirements of TS 4.8.2.1.2 and is considered to be a violation.

Violation (302/87-17-02):

Failure to demonstrate _ the oper-

- ability of the transformer supplying power to VBDP-3 within 24

hours as required by TS 4.8.2.1.2.

(2) The licensee is presently inspecting and testing .the "B"

AC

reactor trip breaker to determine why the breaker failed to-

re-close.

Initial troubleshooting activities have failed to

'

reproduce the failure mechanism.

This breaker has been removed

and subsequently replaced with a spare breaker to allow a

reactor startup to be performed.

IFI (302/87-17-03):

Review the licensee's troubleshooting

activities regarding the failure of the AC reactor trip breaker

to close.

,

b.

At 9:40 AM on July 3 the plant entered an unusual event due to the

sighting of a tornado nearby.

The tornado did not cause any damage

to the nuclear plant and the unusual event was terminated at 11:15 AM

on July 3.

8.

Review of IE Information Notice (IEN)

The inspector reviewed the licensee's activities with respect to IEN

82-19, Loss of High Head Safety Injection Emergency Boration and Reactor

Coolant Makeup Capability, to determine what action, if any, the licensee

was taking to address this issue.

As a result of the li:ensee's review,

which included a review of all safety-related systems with a common

suction header, the licensea has determined that their plant was not

susceptible to such occurrences and that no further action is required.

The inspector reviewed the licensee's assessment and has no further

questions on this item at this time.

Review of 10 CFR Part 21 Report

On June 5,1987, the licensee issued a 10 CFR Part 21 report describing

the improper setting of the middle blowdown ring on Pressurizer Safety

Valve RCV-8, serial number (S/N) BU3148.

The inspector reviewed this report and all applicable documentation

associated with the disassembly, reassembly, and testing of RCV-8.

In

addition the inspector reviewed all applicable documentation associated

with the disassembly, reassembly, and testing of the presently installed

Pressurizer Safety Valves RCV-8 (S/N BL8900) and RCV-9 (S/N BL3149). This

review was conducted to verify that the presently installed valves have

the correct blowdown ring settings.

As a result of this review and discussions with licensee representatives

it appears that the two presently installed valves have the proper blow-

down ring settings.

No violations or deviations were identified and the inspector has no

further questions on this issue.

10. Review of Surveillance Procedures and Records

The inspector reviewed surveillance procedures and records to verify that

the surveillance of systems and components required by the Technical

Specifications (TS), Inservice Inspection (ISI), and Inservice Testing

(IST) programs are being properly conducted.

To accomplish this inspection, procedures were reviewed to verify that:

Selected systems or components were covered by properly approved

-

procedures;

Procedures were adequate with respect to prerequisites, accept-

-

ance criteria, and restoration to service;

Technical content cf sampled procedures were adequate to 'sure

-

TS, ISI, and IST program compliance; and,

Completed tests were properly reviewed and conducted within tne

-

time intervals specified in the TS, ISI, and IST program.

-

Locked Valves), and data completed 2/5/87, 3/23/87, 5/1/87, and

5/20/87.

While reviewing the completed data for procedure SP-403, tM

inspector noted apparent confusion with the data recording.

While

the recorded data indicated satisfactory completion of the test,

there was incons4stency as to how the data was to be recorded.

This observation was discussed with licensee representatives and the

inspector's comments were acknowledged.

The licensee will review

SP-403 and the completed data to determine if a procedure revision

may be necessary to remove any ambiguity.

Inspector Followup Item (302/87-17-04):

Review the licensee's

activities to reduce the ambiguity in procedure SP-403.

b.

The IST program is conducted to meet the requirements of TS 4.0.5.b.

The inspector reviewed this program and examined selected referenced

procedures to verify the criteria listed above.

On June 4, 1982, the licensee submitted a proposed IST program to the

NRC for review and approval .

Through this and subsequent corre-

spondence dated June 14, 1983, July 1, 1985, and October 22, 1985,

the licensee was required to implement the proposed program and

comply with the TS.

The IST program provides a listing of pumps and valves that are

required to be tested by Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure

Vessel Code and provides a listing of the procedures used to

accomplish this testing.

During a review of the components and their testing procedures, the

inspector identified that the following two pumps and thirty valves

were not being tested as delineated in the program:

Chilled Water Pumps CHP-1A and CHP-1B;

-

Valves BSV-42, BSV-43, CDV-103, CDV-104, CFV-17, CFV-20, DCV-17,

-

DCV-18, DCV-177, DCV-178, DFV-45, DFV-46, FWV-161, FWV-162,

LRV-35, LRV-38, LRV-47, LRV-49, LRV-51, LRV-52, MUV-40, MUV-41,

MUV-158, SWV-47 through SWV-50, SWV-278, SWV-370, and SWV-382.

Failure to perform the testing described in the IST program is

contrary to the requirements of TS 4.0.5.b and is considered to be a

violation.

Violation (302/87-17-05):

Failure to conduct the IST of pumps and

valves as required by TS 4.0.5.b.

c.

The ISI program, which is also conducted in accordance with the

requirements of TS 4.0.5.b, includes inspection of components and

systems over a ten year time interval.

The ten year time interval

for Crystal River 3, began in March 13, 1977, and ended on March 13,

1987.

During this ten year interval the licensee has been performing

partial system inspections.

The intent of this partial inspection

program is to spread out the required inspections over the interval

with all systems being completed at the end of the interval. These

inspections include both Non-Destructive Examinations (NDE) of welds

using visual (VIS), ultrasonic testing (UT), magnetic particle

testing (MT), radiographic testing (RT), and hydrostatic testing

(Hydro) of systems.

Since Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code allows

extension of this interval of up to one year so that the interval can

be made to correspond to a plant's outage schedule, the licensee is

planning to complete the first ten year interval during their

refueling outage scheduled to begin in September 1987.

l

The licensee's program is conducted in accordance with " Technical

Maruals" that were developed by a contractor.

These Technical

Manuals delineate the prcgram and provides a proposed schedule that

specifies when during the ten year interval systems or portions of

systems will be tested.

The results or extent of the testing

completed after each outage are reported in an ISI Report.

By

utilizing the Technical Manuals and the ISI Reports the licensee

performs and tracks the status of their program.

To verify compliance with the TS the inspector reviewed the following

documentation:

Technical Manual for Crystal River Unit 3 Refueling Outage #5

-

1983;

Inservice Inspection Report for Crystal River Unit 3 Refueling

-

Outage #5 1983;

Technical Manual for Crystal River Unit 3 Outage #61985; and,

-

-

Inservice Inspection Report for Crystal River Unit 3 Outage #6

1985.

To determine the completion of the program as delineated in these

Technical Manuals and Reports, the inspector reviewed the following

procedures and completed data:

-

UT-120, Ultrasonic Examination of Piping end Vessel Welds

Joining Similar and Dissimilar Materials;

-

UT-131, Remote Ultrasonic Examination Using the Automated

Reactor Inspection System (ARIS) Device;

To determine continuity within the program, the inspector reviewed

hydros of the BS system that were performed in Outage #5 (1983) and

Outage #3 (1980).

When the inspector's review of these records

identified apparent discrepancies with the BS system hydro performed

in Outage #3, the record review was expanded to include all of the

,

twenty-three hydros performed in Outage #3. All of these hydros were

i

performed in accordance with procedure MP-137.

As the result of these reviews the following items were identified:

l

(1) While reviewing the Technical Manual and ISI Report for-

0utage #6 the inspector noted that the Technical Manual

specified that the hydros were to be performed in accordance

with procedure MP-137 but that the subsequent ISI Report showed

that the hydros were actually performed in accordance with

procedure SP-210.

In addition the inspector noted numerous

changes made to the Technical Manual-by the contractor in the

form of " Change Authorizations".

Since the ISI Program is a surveillance activity, procedures for-

this program come under the preview of TS 6.8.2.b.

Review of the Change Authorizations made to the program

indicated that Change : Authorization CR-85-026 did not receive

the review and approval required by TS 6.8.2.b.

In addition,

during subsequent discussions with licensee personnel it was

determined that the hydro procedure change from MP-137 to SP-210

in Outage #6 and the Technical Manuals for the ISI Program

conducted in Outages 3 and 5 also did not receive the review and

approval required by TS 6.8.2.b.

Failure to provide interdepartmental reviews and interdisci-

plinary reviews by qualified reviewers and failure to have the

Plant Review Committee (PRC) review the 10 CFR 50.59 evaluations

is contrary to the requirements of TS 6.8.2.b and is considered

to be a violation.

Violation (302/87-17-06):

Failure to review and approve the ISI

program and changes to this program as required by TS 6.8.2.b.

(2) Procedure MP-137 requires the boundary for each hydro to be

defined with a highlighted schematic that is attached to the

procedure.

Review of the data for the hydros performed in

Outages 3 and 5 indicate that highlighted drawings and valve

lists were attached to the procedure, however the licensee is

unable to locate the drawings or valve lists.

As a result of

this record deficiency the inspector was unable to determine the

adequacy of the following hydrostatic tests that were conducted

during the 1980 Outage #3:

-

BS system, BS Pump 1B Discharge Piping;

Nuclear Services Closed Cycle Cooling) (SW) System, SW lines

-

to Air Handling ) Heat Exchanger (AHHE 31 and 32B (penetra-

tion 370 and 371 ;

i

-

SW System, SW to Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) IC Bearing and

Seal Cooler (penetration 325 and 326); and,

-

SW System, SW to RCP-1B Bearing and Seal Cooler (penetra-

tion 364 and 365).

e

- _ - .

.

.

20

While these highlighted drawings and valve lists were also

missing for the BS system hydro conducted in the 1983 Outage #5,

the records that were available enabled the inspector to

determine that an adequate test was performed.

However, based

upon these findings, it appears that records for other hydros

performed during Outage #5 may also be suffering from a lack of

records.

During discussions with licensee representatives regarding these

findings, the inspector stated that a review of all of the

hydros conducted during the first ten year interval should be

conducted to verify that these hydros were adequate.

TS 6.10.2.h requires records of ISI activities to be retained

for the duration of the Facility Operating License.

Failure to

retain the hydrostatic test records for procedure MP-137 is

considered to be contrary to the requirements of TS 6.10.2.h and

is a violation.

Violation (302/87-17-07):

Failure to retain ISI records as

required by TS 6.10.2.h.
