l 2.3.3 During the review of completed surveillances, the inspectors randomly selected four individuals (two instrument control technicians and two electrical control technicians), who had participated in the performance of several surveillances. The inspectors reviewed the training records and qualification l

certificates of these individuals to insure that they were i

qualified to perform the surveillances that had been reviewed by the inspectors.

2.3.4 Also, during the review of completed surveillances, test equip-l i

ment (Stopwatch #10867, Heise Gauge #17494) used during the performance of surveillances was checked against their respect-ive calibration log sheets. Also, records were reviewed to verify that the test equipment used as the primary standard for the in plant calibration of the Heise Gauge had been calibrated i

2.3.5 An inspection was conducted, on a sampling basis, of the imple-mentation of the licensee's In-Service Testing Program (IST) for Pumps and Valves. The IST Program implementation was inspected fer conformance to the licensee's current program submittal, Sections 3 and 4 of the Technical Specifications, and the appropriate plant administrative requirements.

In-Service Testing of Pumps and Valves is accomplished through incorporation into the Surveillance Testing Program. Those pumps and valves, and associated test procedures that were randomly selected and reviewed are listed in paragraph 2.3.

L 2.4 Findings 2.4.1. STP 0-7-1, " Engineered Safety Features Logic and Performance Test" 2.4.1.1 Procedure Review STP 0-7-1, Revision 27 satisfies the requirements of Technical Specification 4.3.2.1.1, " Engineered Safety Feature Actuation System Instrumentation" for monthly testing of the Engineered Safety Features (ESF) logic.

Prior to reviewing performance of the STP, the procedure was reviewed and compared against material in the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR),

Certain control logic is exempt from monthiy testing as noted in Technical Speci-fications.

The following items were noted:

--

FSAR Section 7.3.2.2 indicates that Safety Injection (SI)-659 (minimum flow valve) closes on RAS A-1.

The STP indicates that SI-659 should be verified open.

This inconsistency is due to a lockout feature which is required by Technical Specifications.

FSAR Section 7.3.2.2 indicates that Containment Valve

--

(CV)-5210 opens on Safety Injection Actuation Signal (SIAS) from subchannels 7 and 9.

The STP does not verify this valve open for SIAS subchannels B-7 or

>

A-7.

This is apparently an error in the FSAR in that the correct actuation channel is only subchannel 9.

--

FSAR Section 7.3.2.2 states that the Containment Isolation Signal (CIS) subchannel 3 opens Penetration Room Filter #11 Damper Isolation Valve,1-SV-5285.

The STP (Step 164) verifies that the #11 filter isolation dampers HVAC-5285 and 5286 open. These dampers are both actuated by solenoid valve #1-SV-5285 (refer to FSAR Figure 9-20A). The FSAR description i

,. -

. _ _

.. _ _, _ - -.

_ - _

, _. _-._

_

_

_

-

_

t

-

.

should be revised to accurately describe the com-ponents which actuate on the CIS. A similar situation exists for Penetration Room Filters #12, 21, and 22.

--

The STP indicates the Pressurizer heater breaker 52-1127 opens on SIAS subchannel A-4. The FSAR does not reference this automatic action. The same sit-uation exists for Pressurizer heater breaker ;2-1427.

Correction of these FSAR inconsistencies is unresolved (317/83-26-01).

--

STP 0-7-1 is not consistent in requiring a " sign-off" when equipment is returned to service (e.g., valves realigned, pumps stopped, etc.) after testing.

This inconsistency was also noted during the review of other STFs.

STP-0-7-1 also does not consistc itly verify the status of equipment prior to testing (e.g.,

equipment that is automatically started on an Engi-neered Safety Features Actuation System (ESFAS) signal should always be verified to be stopped prior to testing.) The licensee agreed that this area of concern needed further evaluation and stated that a check-off system or a more detailed sign-off system might be instituted. This item will-be followed in a subsequent NRC:RI Inspection (317/83-26-02).

2.4.1.2 Conduct of Testing The conduct of STP 0-7-1 at Calvert Cliffs Unit I was verified by direct observation during the mid-shift on September 19, 1983. The STP was conducted by Control

,

l Room Operators. Testing was suspended about 5:10 a.m.

due to a manual reactor trip. Testing per STP 0-7-1 was restarted on September 20, 1983.

I During conduct of the STP on September 20, it was noted that the Control Room Operator (CRO) missed step

  1. 160. This step requires that #11 Spent Fuel Cooler Service Water Inlet Valve (SRW-1597) be opened fol-

!

lowing testing of Containment Spray Actuation Sigr al (CSAS) B-3. On initial questioning, the CR0 indicated that he had opened the valve. Direct observation cv the inspector indicated that the valve was closed.

The CR0 promptly opened the valve upon being informed that it was closed. The inspector noted that this step does not require a " sign-off."

Technical Specifica. ion 6.8.1 requires that written procedures shall be established, implemented and l

maintained covering (a) applicable procedures recom-mended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Re-vision 2 (which includes Operating Instructions for Service Water Systems) and (b) Surveillance and Test activities of safety-related equipment. A review of Operating Instruction (0I)-15, Revision 14, June 21, 1982, " Service Water System" indicated that the service water side of the Spent Fuel Pool Coolers should have their outlet valves (SRW-1596 and SRW-1598) open and their inlet valves (SRW-1597 and SRW-1599) "as desired," depending on the operational status of the coolers. STP 0-7-1 and 01-15 are inconsistent in that, following testing of CSAS A-3, the STP places SRW-1596 in the "as desired position."

Also, the STP places SRW-1597 in the open position l

following testing of CSAS B-3.

Thus, the STP does not

'

restore the subject valves to the position specified in 01-15. This represents an error in the establish-ment of the procedure (s).

Failure to open service water outlet valve SRW-1597 to the Spent Fuel Pool Cooler as specified in STP 0-7-1 represents an error in implementation of the procedure (s).

As a result of this error, a redundant method of overpressure protection (in addition to an installed relief valve) for the isolated #11 Spent Fuel Pool Cooler was not provided. This was the intent of the STP and OI valving arrangements.

Failure to properly establish and implement STP 0-7-1 and/or 01-15 is a violation (317/83-26-03).

During the performance of the STP, sound judgment and training was shown in the following and should be considered for in-l clusion in STP 0-7-1:

a.

Prior to lining up a pump to a particular bus, the l

pump was placed in " pull-to-lock." This prevents a disconnect from being opened on a running pump which can be dangerous to personnel.

l b.

When diesel generators were shutdown after testing,

'

they were tripped at one-minute intervals. This prevents two diesel generators from being inoperable during the same 60-second interval due to the restart

" time out" on the diesel generators.

2.4.2. STP 0-52, " Auxiliary Feedwater System" 2.4.2.1 Procedure Review The purpose of STP 0-52 is to demonstrate operability of the Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) System and meet the Technical Specification requirement (4.7.1.2a.1 and 4.7.1.2a.2) for monthly measurement of Total Dynamic Head (TDH) of each AFW pump. Prior to observing per-formance of STP 0-52, the procedure was reviewed for content. The following conclusions were reached:

a. Execution of the procedure meets the requirements of Technical Specification 4.7.1.2a.1 and 4.7.1.2a.2 for measurement of Auxiliary Feedwater System pump TDH.

b. STP 0-52 complies with Technical Specification 3.7.1.2 in that it requires (a) an operator (dedicated) stationed at the AFW local control center, in direct communication with the Control Room, when a pump or flow train is made in-operable for purposes of testing, and (b) in-dependent verification of AFW lineup, by an independent operatur.

2.4.2.2 Conduct of Testing The performance of STP 0-52 for Calvert Cliffs, Unit 2 was reviewed on September 22, 1983. The test was performed according to STP 0-52 until failure of MS-4070-CV (Turbine Steam Supply) terminated the test.

The test was completed following repair of MS-4070-CV.

During performance of the test, it was noted that a

" locked valve deviation" sheet was being incorrectly maintained by an operator who was located in the Unit 2 Auxiliary Feedwater Pump Room.

Following a review of this situation with the Shift Supervisor, it was determined that a correctly maintained " locked valve deviation" sheet was being properly maintained in the Control Room.

A review of CCI 300F, Section 8, " Locked Valve Devia-tion Sheet," indicated that this procedure does not clearly assign responsibility for control of locked valves at the location of the test (in this case, at the Auxiliary Feedwater Pump Room) or in the Control

.

._

_

.

..

Room.

Since at least two locked valve deviation sheets were being maintained during the September 22, 1983 conduct of STP 0-52, it was clear that some members of the Calvert Cliffs operations staff were unclear on this point. Clarification of locked valve deviation policy at Calvert Cliffs will be followed in a subsequent NRC:RI inspection (317/83-26-04).

3.

Quality As:urance (QA)

3.1 Quality Control (QC) Surveillance The inspector interviewed the QC Surveillance Supervisor to

>

ascertain the involvement and interface between QC and those departments that perform safety-related surveillances. The inspector was informed that all Surveillance Test Coordinators forward to him monthly surveillance schedules, which provide him the opportunity to select certain surveillances that QC will witness, either in its entirety or designated bold points. QC also maintains 100% coverage of those surveillances with asso-ciated maintenance requests.

3.2 Quality Asssurance Program Description In accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(a), the Quality Assurance (QA)

Program Description for Calvert Cliffs, Units 1&2, was submitted by a letter dated June 17, 1983.

In a letter dated August 18, 1983, Region I identified the need for additional information to complete the review of the QA Program Description.

In a separate meeting held September 23, 1983, the following supporting information to the QA Program Description was re-viewed:
