Surveillance Procedures and Records The purpose of this inspection was to ascertain whether the surveillance of safety-related systems and components is being conducted in accordance with approved procedures as required by the Technical Specifications and inservice testing (IST) programs for pumps and valves.
The NRC inspectors reviewed the following surveillance procedures for content, workability, and compliance with Technical Specifications (TS).

Several questions were identified by the NRC inspectors; however, they were promptly and satisfactorily answered by the licensee.
Review by the NRC inspectors determined that the surveillance program at Cooper Nuclear Station is being controlled in a thorough and professional manner. The NRC inspectors concluded, however, that this is occurring because of the competence of personnel administering the program, not because of a thorough documented procedure for coritrolling the program.
No written procedures, for instance, exist for feedback to the surveillance coordinator for required scheduling changes for the IST program. This feedback is happening via memoranda. The surveillance scheduling is performed manually, but it is planned to shift to computerized scheduling in the future.
~ The NRC inspectors reviewed all completed copies since January 1,1986, for Procedures 6.3.4.1, 6.3.12.1, 6.2.2.5.12, 6.2.2.3.1, 6.2.1.4.1, and 6.2.2.5.8.
The inspectors noted that checkmarks were utilized to indicate performance of procedure steps. The person performing the steps then signs at the bottom of the page verifying that the checkmarks were made by him.
In several instances, specifically Procedure 6.2.1.4.1 performed on January 16, 1986, and Procedure 6.2.2.3.1 performed on April 22, 1986, the
NRC inspectors noted that more than one signature appeared on a page signifying that they had checkmarked that page. The NRC inspectors and licensee representative were unable to determine who had performed what step in those procedures.
The licensee stated that their new procedure format will require initials for each step performed instead of checkmarks. The use of checkmarks to denote performance of procedure steps is corsidered an open item (298/8517-01) pending future review of surveillance procedures utilizing the new procedure format.
The NRC inspectors also noted that out-of-specification data were taken on Procedure 6.3.12.1, performed on April 15, 1986, and that some data were not taken on 6.3.12.1, performed on April 23, 1986.
In both of these instances, the licensee found the errors, however, they were not found during shift supervisor review but were detected during engineering review.
This failure to identify out-of-specification data during shift supervisor

r-review is considered an open item (298/8617-02) pending future review of completed surveillance procedures to determine if licensee corrective action in this area has been effective.
The NRC inspectors observed the performance of two surveillance tests.
The tests observed were performed in accordance with the procedure. _ Proper reviews were done by all appropriate personnel, and proper control and monitoring of the plant was exhibited by all operators.
The NRC inspectors reviewed the qualifications _of I&C technicians. All I&C technicians complete extensive classroom training and on-the-job training and must pass a test prior to being qualified to perform I&C surveillance procedures. The I&C technicians must perform or observa all
surveillance procedures prior to completing qualification. Upon qualification, they may perform all I&C surveillance procedures.
No violations or deviations were identified in this inspection.
3.
Exit Interview An exit interview was held on May 2, 1986, with the personnel denoted in paragraph 1 of this report. The NRC senior resident inspector also attended this meeting. At this meeting, the scope of the inspection and the findings were summarized.
