Procedure Review

~ The inspector reviewed SP-417, Integrated Plant Response To An ES Actuation, Revision 28, dated June 13, 1990 to verify the following:

L Appropriate levels of management review and approval had been

.-

l conducted.-

The design change (MAR 88-05-24-01)~ requirements which i

reassigned selected ES loads to new load blocks and times were l

verified to be tested during conduct of SP-417.

'

,

b ES components. pumps, and ventilation fans required to go to

['

their emergency position during ES actuation with a loss of offsite power were identified in the test steps of the l

procedure.

'

SP-417 contained prerequisites, initial system conditions and

!

l precautions to be established prior to conducting the test.

Acceptance criteria provided were qualitative or quantitative as i.

appropriate.

Test Witnessing

-

u

.

- SP-417 was perfoimed on June 16, 1990.- Prior' to the test. - the l

licensee conducted a briefing with plant operators, engineers and

,

electrical technicians assigned to assist in:the performance of the i

'. integrated ES/ LOOP test. The briefing was held in a conference room.

'

l with the Shift Supervisor leading the discussion. The briefing was a h

comprehensive review of the test procedure ~ and covered, in detail, duties and responsibilities required of test personnel, data l

acquisition, the operating sequence of-plant systems, and responses to be expected during the test.

The inspector observed plant operators establishing prerequisites and j

initial conditions for testing Train

"A" engineered safeguerds.

,.

systems and EDG-1A.

These activities, as well as test equipment'

-

L l

calibration, were reviewed on a sample basis to verify that procedure requirements were being met.

The testing of Train "A" started with an ES actuation consisting of a

'

building pressure signal (30 PSIG)gnal (4 PSIG), high-high' reactor reactor building high pressure si l

and a simulated loss of offsite

.

L power to the 4160 volt eme'rgency bus.

A review of test results indicated that ES equipment achieved their emergency positions and assigned load blocks, load shedding from the emergency buses had occurred, and the permanent a connected'and auto-connected emergency

~ loads to the EDG 1A did not exceed Technical Specification requirements of 3248 KW.

~The observed load on the EDG-1A 'was approximately 2000 KW.

In addition, one of.the new ES logic features was also tested during SP-417.

This feature simulated olarge break -

LOCA signals (RCS pressure 500 PSIG) andsverified that the decay-heat'-

removal pump (DHR-1A) starts and' the emergency.feedwater pump-(EFP-1)

.

tripped off. The results of this test were satisfactory.

<

Following ES/ LOOP testing of Train "A", Train "B", ES systems were aligned and the ES/ LOOP test was performed. The test results for the Train "B" ES systems ' indicated satisfactory responses. The observed load on the EDG-1B_ was approximately 1750 KW.

It was noted during the first portion of the Train"B" ES/ LOOP test that air handling fan (AHF-1C) did not indicate sequencing on after the 4 PSIG reactor building high pressure signal was initiated.

A check at the ES cabinets indicated that AHF-1B had been selected.

The selector switch was placed in the AHF-1C position and the response of the fan and its KW load was verified during the ESF/ LOOP portion of the test.

,

The licensee's review indicated that SP-417 procedure steps, wnich aligned the air handling units, did not adequately address switch positions for the test and permitted AHF-1B to be selected. AHF-1B

e was out of service for maintenance.

The inspector concluded that the.

,

inadequate procedure steps (SP-417 steps 4.4.17.4.2, 4.4.17.4.3, and

4.4.31) was a licensee identified violation.

During the exit interview, the licensee stated the following actions were planned or in progress:. Issue a memorandum to the operations groups, discussing.

the identified procedure problem, and initiate a change to SP-417, identify the procedure problem so root cause analysis can be conducted through the Human Performance Evaluation System.

The-inspector had no further question in this area.

3, Exit Interview The inspection scope and results were summarized on June 16, 1990, with those-persons indicated in paragraph 1.

The inspector described the' areas inspected and discussed in detail the inspection results listed below.
