--
The test organization;
--
The test program administration;
--
Document controls, such as test procedures, engineering
--
drawings and vendors manuals;
)
Design changes and modifications;
--
Plant and preventive maintenance;
)
--
Equipment protection and cleanliness;
--
Test and measurement equipment; and,
--
Training as pertains to startup testing.

The inspector initiated a review of the test program administration and held discussions with the startup grouc.
The following items and controls were verified to be in effect.
Formal methods have been established for the test group to
--
receive the jurisdiction over systems, components, and instrumentation prior to commencement of testing of those items.
Formal administrative measures have been established for juris-
--
dictional control of system, component, or instrumentation status befJre, during, and subsequent to testing.
These measures also provide for:
(1) Control of system status prior to testing; (2) Return of systems, components; or instrumentation to construction in order to support modifications or repairs; and, (3) Control of system status subsequent to testing, including measures necessary to prevent invalidation of test results.
Formal administrative measures have been established governing
--
the conduct of testing including:
(1) Method for verifying that a test procedure is current prior to its use; (2) Methods to assure personnel involved in the conduct of a test are knowledgeable of the test procedures; (3) Methods to change a test procedure during the conduct of testing; (4) Criteria for interruption of a test and continuation of an interrupted test; (5) Methods to coordinate the conduct of testing; (6) Methods to document significant events, unusual conditions, or interruptions to testing; and, (7) Methods for identifying deficiencies, documenting their resolutions, and documenting retestin.
.
.
Formal methods have been established to control scheduling of test
--
activities.
Formal program for evaluation of test results has been established.
--
The program provides for the following;
.
(1) The test data is properly reduced to meaningful and understandable form; (2) The test results are checked and compared to previously
determined performance standards or limits; (3) Deficiencies are clearly identified and appropriate corrective action has been proposed, reviewed and completed; (4) After corrective actions or modifications have been completed, tests or portions of a test have been rerun as necessary to assure that tests on the as-built system are adequate; and, (5) The results of the evaluations were reviewed by appropriate licensee personnel, including the persons responsible for approving the original test procedures.
d.
Test Procedures The inspector met with the licensee's representatives and discussed test procedures, procedure reviews, procedure verifications, test witnessing, test results evaluation, test scheduling, and test sequencing.
The discussions also included test procedure status and availability.
The licensee's representatives assured the inspector of receiving procedures in a timely manner to afford timely review.

Findings:
As a result of discussions with management and the startup group; interviews with licensee personnel; and examination and review of the referenced documents, the inspector verified that the preoperational and startup test program administration exists, and appears to have adequate controls for the required testing.
No discrepancies were noted and the inspector had no further questions at this time.
Remaining items in the area of preoperational test program requirements will be examined and discussed on subsequent inspections.
3.
Plant Tour The inspectors toured the interim building visually inspecting several areas including the emergency feedwater pumps, motor operated valves, air operated valves, sections of the emergency feedwater piping system, the spare instrument air compressor, the new air accumulator for the air operated valves, and the installation of the new hydrogen recombiner.
,
.
.
In all areas visually inspected, observations by the inspectors included new installations or modifications in progress, housekeeping, cleanliness controls, storage and protection of equipment, components, piping and systems.
No discrepancies were noted and no items of noncompliance were identified.
4.
ExitInterview At the conclusion of the site inspection on July 18, 1980, an exit meeting was conducted with the licensee's senior site representatives (denoted in Paragraph 1). The inspector had no outstanding items nor any further questions in the areas inspected at this time.
