As a result, these valves were checked and = reset in the presence of the Code Inspector during this RO ' inspection and prior to escalation to the 76'; FP plateau. Test results were reported by the licensee to be acceptable; however, the results had not been reviewed by the TWG prior to ec=pletion of this RO inspection. The cause of the pre =ature lif t is under review by the licensee, and it has Been tentatively attributed to a procedural problem. This ites re=ains open pending final re- --- solution by the licensee and acceptance of the test results By the licensee.

Additionally, the Partial Test Su= nary for these tests, as accepted by the licensee, was also reviewed and is listed below, where appropriate.
No deficiencies were identi-e fied, and the inspector's review included the following: Data sheets available and completed (at least 10% sampling '~ basis); raw data converted to test data; test exceptions and . deficiencies identified; corrective action performed; accep-tance criteria verified by licensee; test analysis reviewed by the appropriate persons; and inspector's verification that test results desonstrate the desired performance criteria and/or predicted results.

.=.2 However, during this RO inspection while operating at 76% jjp_ FP, an oil leak developed on the No. 3 turbine control g-valve which required re= oval of the turbine from service (5 to affect repairs. As a result, the turbine trip at 30% ppN was conducted. The licensee had not evaluated the accept-EE~ ability of these test results by the completion of the RO fi inspection. The inspector observed operations in the i.
Control Room during this occurrence and noted that plant paraneters were controlled within Technical Specification linits.
