NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-335/96-11 AND 50-389/96-11 Thank you for your response of September 27, 1996, to our Notice of Violation issued on August 31, 1996, concerning activities conducted at your St. Lucie facility.


This was a violation of the i

freeze seal procedure.


A new V.P. does not consider ALARA concern from the standpoint that people will spend more time at work and cleaning-up at the expense of receiving more dose because of his stringent housekeeping practice.
We will examine the implementation of your corrective actions during future inspections.


OISCUSSION:
We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.

The inspector reviewed GMP-10. revision 6. " Application Of Freeze Seals." and several work orders completed during the recent Unit I refueling outage in'olving the use of freeze seals.

Sincerely, Orig signed by Kerry D. Landis Kerr y D. Landis, Chief Reactor Projects Branch 3 Division of Reactor Projects Docket Nos. 50-335, 50-389 License Nos.

The inspector found that the procedure contained appropriate guidance to preclude challenges to the plant associated with the use of freeze seals.


Documentation reviews of the following work orders were completed as

All the packages contained the required documentation including implantation plans, contingency plans, inspection reports. and temperature monitoring logs.

e Work Order 96011512 installed a freeze seal on a 3/4 inch RCS instrumentation line.
Weinkam, Plant Licensing Manager St. Lucie Nuclear Plant P. 0.


The inspector' discussed the cases involving readings not logged with a maintenance supervisor involved with freeze seal usage.
Box 128 Ft. Pierce, FL 34954-0218 J.


He stated that
R.
' recording the readings every twenty minutes is a guide and not a strict -
procedural requirement. He further stated that the freeze seals were never left unattended and the readings were probably not recorded simply because the freeze seal attendant forgot to do so.


Discussion with licensee management indicated that for a short period of time.
Newman, Esq.


~
Morgan, Lewis 8 Bockius 1800 M Street, NW Washington, D.
approximately one hour, work had been stopped to clean the area of trash and unnecessary equipment.


Although the freeze seal personnel were not located directly at the freeze seal they were in the area to fulfill contingency requirements, if necessary.
C.


However. after further discussion with the Maintenance Manager, the inspector concluded that, although the freeze seal monitor was in the area he was not actively monitoring the seal as evidenced
20036 John T. Butler, Esq.
.by the absence of freeze seal temperature data for the time in question.


.However, this failure constitutes a violation of minor significance and is being treated as a Non-Cited Violation. consistent with Section IV of the NRC Enforcement Policy (NCV 335/96-11-03. " Failure To Properly Monitor Freeze Seal") The inspector reviewed the control room logs and noted that there were no log entries which would indicate that the freeze seals were left unattended.

L. Kindred County Administrator St. Lucie County 2300 Virginia Avenue Ft. Pierce, FL 34982 Charles B. Brinkman Washington Nuclear Operations ABB Combustion Engineering, Inc.


In aodition. the inspector verified that the thaw time of each of these seals would have been on the order of two to three hours and therefore concluded that'the safety impact was minimal.

While observing Maintenance personnel disassemble the V2167, the inspector noted that the tools and equipment needed to support the job had been laid out and arranged on tne floor.

This was discussed with the personnel performing the task who stated that this was to aid in identification while performing the work and wa.s a new management initiative to improve job performance.

The inspector discussed this with the Maintenance Manager who concurred and stated that this practice along with generally maintaining a clean work area. being prepared to do the work prior.to starting, etc.. would decrease rework and ultimately improve efficiency.

The inspector also discussed this with the Health Physics suoervisor who stated that, with the efficiency increases, overall dose expended in maintenance was expected to drop.

The inspector concluded that these efforts were prudent and that benefit could be attained from them.
 
CONCLUSIONS:
-The inspector was able to determine that a maintenance manager did shut down all jobs in the pice tunnel on May 22. 1996.
 
The inspector concluded that the concern was partially substantiated in.that the person monitoring the freeze-seal was in the area, but he was not actively monitoring the seal as evidenced by the absence of freeze seal temperature data for the time in question.
 
As a
-
result. while people were available to implement a contingency plan in the event of_ problem with the freeze plug.- for a time the freeze seal temperature was not being monitored. -The inspector determined that this was a violation of the licensee's crocedure.which requires that at no time shall a freeze seal
.be;left unattended for any reason until the system or component is restored or
.
the Contingency Plan is, implemented.
 
This failure constitutes a violation of

minor significance and is being treated as a Non-Cited Violation, consistent-with Section IV of the NRC Enforcement Policy (NCV 335/96-11-03. " Failure To Properly Monitor Freeze Seal").
The inspectors review of the freeze seals applied during the recent Unit 1 outage indicated that procedural requirements had not been met in one case, t
The inspector was not able to substantiate that the new vice president does not consider ALARA concern from the standpoint that people will spend more time at work and cleaning-up at the expense of receiving more dose because of his stringent housekeeping practice.
 
The inspector concluded that the efforts to organize the tools and equipment needed to support the job, which were laid out and arranged on the floor, were prudent and that benefit could be attained from them in terms of less rework and dose reduction.
