Preoperational Tes t Procedures ' , a.
RO:I Review of Preoperational Tes t Procedures ' i The inspector discussed his review of the following preoperational . test procedures:
1 TP 202/3 - Makeup and Purification System
TP 305/lB - Reactor Protection System Preoperational Calibration ,, TP 305/2 - Reactor Protection System Response Time TP 33d/2 - C. R. D. Control System P 'olution was obtained on all items except the following: (1) TP 305/2 - Reactor Protection System Response Time Numerous pen and ink type dhanges were made throughout this procedure without identification as to the individual making the changes, when the changes were made, and that these changes were authorized.

The following observations were made: I (1) TWG actions relative to approval of test procedure scopes, , test procedures, TCN's to the MIX and tes t procedures, test results, and the Prerequisite List for Initial Fill and , Hydro of the Reactor Coolant System were documented; however, the inspector was unable to determine which version (Draf t 1, 2, 3 etc) of the test procedure had been revieued and i approved.
- , , { (2) Comments by '.vidual TWG members relative to test procedures ' and resolut_.. of these comments, as appropriate, were l documented in the meeting minutes.
