Action on Previous Inspection Findings (Closed) Unresolved Item (333/79-03-02):
Inservice testing (IST) pump program procedures do not contain acceptance criteria or various require-
.
ments as.specified by ASME Code,Section XI.
Various pump surveillance
'
test procedures and Plant Standing Order (PS0) 31 were reviewed to ensure that-the applicable requirements of Section XI have been incorporated into plant procedures. Based upon this review, this item is closed.
(Closed) Unresolved Item (333/79-03-05):
IST valve program procedures do not specify maximum stroke times for Category B valves as required by ASME Code,Section XI.
Various valve surveillance test procedures and PS0 31 were reviewed to ensure that maximum stroke times for Category B vaives have been incorporated into valve surveillance test procedures. Based upon this review, this item is closed.
(Closed) Deviation (333/83-10-02):
Licensee failed to implement certain IST requirements for pumps and valves, specifically 1) maximum stroke times for powe'r operated valves and 2) pump performance acceptance criteria ranges. A review of various surveillance test (ST) procedures and discussions with the IST Coordinator indicated that all surveillsnco test procedures now contain maximum stroke times for valves or performance acceptance criteria ranges for pumps. The inspector noted that three applicable STs were awaiting Plant Operations ~ Review Committee approval.
Based upon this review, this deviation is closed.

fiaplement the storage, issuance or usage of measuring and test equipment A review of MD-50-04, (M&TE) utilized by the maintenance department.
" Maintenance Department Measuring and Test Equipment Calibration Program" and a subsequent tour of the toolroom verified that the necessary controls for M&TE have been effectively implemented. Based upon this review, this item is closed.
Surveillance Testing and Calibration Controls 3.
Administrative controls were reviewed to evaluate the licensee's 3.1 program for implementing requirements associated with surveillance testing and calibration activities assigned to the maintenance The objectives were to assure that licensee programs in department.
place were consistent with the Technical Specifications, Regulatory Guide 1.33, ANSI N18.7 and 10CFR50, Appendix 8.
3.2 Review / Implementation The inspector held various discussions with department superintendents, supervisors and coordinators to ascertain the extent of their responsibilities in reference to surveillance testing,-
including the Inservice Testing (ICT) of pumps and valves in accordance with Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel These discussions included a review of the following.
Code.
Master surveillance schedule Weekly surveillance test schedule
Various completed surveillance tests Quarterly Surveillance Test Audit Checklist Trend data for pumps and valves that are part of the IST program
Performance Notification Memos
The inspector noted that applicable procedures have recently been revised or created and additional controls implemented in an attempt to provide additional assurance that applicable T.S. surveillance requirements would not be violated.

Discussions were also held with the Superintendent of Power in reference to Technical Specification (TS) changes and the manner in which they are handled.. Administrative procedure 1.9, " Control of Technical Specifications," specifies that the Superintendent of Power will coordinate efforts among departments to ensure that the need to create or revise a surveillance test procedure is identified as a result of a license amendment. A summary of necessary proccdure changes is then to be provided to the Resident Manager for his review. A-review of randomly chosen records maintained by the Superintendent of Power indicates that necessary changes, as a result of T.S. amendments, are being effectively identified, followed and implemented as required.
3.3 Test Witnessing The inspector also observed the performance of two Technical Specification surveillance tests performed by maintenance personnel
'
on the morning of September 24, 1986. The two surveillance tests witnessed were 1) MP-71.10, "LPCI Battery Weekly Surveillance Test,"
and 2) MP-71.12, "125V Station Battery. Weekly Surveillance." NRC observation of this surveillance was to verify that the following was accomplished.
- Applicable STP(s) was approved, up-to-date, and utilized
.
throughout the conduct of the surveillance.
- Appropriate personnel, including operations, were notified prior to the start of the test.
!
Calibrated test equipment were used.
I
!
Appropriate safety precautions were taken.
- Acceptance criteria were met, and if not, appropriate steps'were taken.
!
l Following completion of the test the system was realigned for l
normal operation.
l l
The performance of both tests were' satisfactorily completed and no l
problems were~ encountered. The inspector had no further questions in this area.

3.4 Findings No violations were identified. A concern, however, was expressed as to the timeliness of reviews performed by the Inservice. Inspection Coordinator (ISIC) of completed surveillance tests (ST) for pumps and valves. The inspector determined from his review of completed STs that operations personnel (shift supervisor and operations superintendent) are reviewing specific test data against acceptance criteria in a timely fashion.
Should any test results fall within a required action range or outside predetermined limits, necessary corrective action and ISIC notification is immediately made.
Following an operations review of completed test data they are then forwarded to the ISIC for his review and analysis of any undesirable performance trends. The inspector noted that, on the average, the IST data took 5 to 6 days for final review by the ISI coordinator, and in a few instances, it took as much as 4 to 5 weeks. The
. inspector discussed a concern with the licensee that test data reviews by the ISIC be completed in a more expeditious manner, since licensee analysis of any developing trends might warrant an increase in the frequency of testing and might not be readily identifiable by operations personnel. The inspector did not identify any instances where this increased frequency should have occurred. The licensee acknowledged the inspectors concern and stated that emphasis would be
~
placed on decreasing the time it took for these reviews.
5.0 Measuring and Test Equipment (M&TE)
The inspector held discussions with the individual designated to j.
administer and control the maintenance department's M&TE calibration program. A review of the departmental procedure governing the control of l
M&TE was conducted and subsequently verified to ensure that the program I
was being implemented as intended. This verification included a review of the following:
M&TE Master List
Toolroom controls
M&TE records
. Staffing A tour of the toolroom and discussions with a toolroom attendant was l
conducted to verify that the storage and issuance of M&TE were being
!
adequately controlled. The toolroom presently is in a transition phase because it's location was changed within the past month. The toolroom-storage space has been significantly increased as a result of this change.
l l
Presently, permanent storage locations are being assigned for tools and M&TE and necessary data is subsequently being entered into the computerized master control list.
'
,
_ _..
_..
..
Issuance and retrieval of all M&TE is handled by the toolroom attendants.
Presently two permanent positions are filled, and depending upon the workload, as many as four temporary attendants are assigned to the toolroom. To ensure that accountability and associated controls were continuing to be maintained during the change of toolroom locations, the inspector requested the present status' of several pieces of M&TE. The M&TE selected fell into the following categories.
- Out for recalibration Segregated (due for recalibration)
In-use
Restricted use The inspector physically verified the location of several test instruments selected from the sample and also reviewed associated records, which included the following.
- Usage Log Cards
History Data Sheets
Calibration Data Sheets M&TE Calibration. Frequency Authorizations
Certifications No problems were encountered and all M&TE selected were properly acto for. The inspector had no further questions.
6.0 QA/QC Involvement QA department personnel were interviewed to ascertain the extent of their involvement with surveillance testing, specifically technical
,
specification (T.S.) related testing. A previous NRC inspection (333/85-29) had noted a low percentage of QA involvement in comparison to j
the' number of T.S. related surveillances performed each year. However e the licensee has since committed to increasing their coverage in this Area to at least 10%.
Discussion with the QA supervisor and a review of his
surveillance log book verified that QA personnel -are currently witnessing T.S. related surveillances at a rate equal to 10% per year.

The inspector also held discussions with two QA engineers who were tasked
.with developing the Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement Index-(TSSRI). This TSSRI is essentially a matrix that cross references T.S.
surveillance requirements with applicable plant procedures. To date, all applicable plant procedures that are used during the performance of any one particular T.S. surveillance test have been identified. The QA engineers, with input forthcoming from other departments, are now reviewing these procedures to verify their validity, correctness, ~ and appropriateness.
Once the matrix is essentially complete, it can be used as an aid in identifying the following.
- Technical Specification Surveillance procedures
T.S. which are affected by a procedure change
Procedure revision number and review data
Previously performed QA audits, date of performance and associated noncompliances, if any
Surveillance procedure type and applicability for each department Also reviewed was the latest audit conducted covering the storage, control and issuance of measuring and test e.quipment. This audit, conducted in August, 1985, revealed no problems within the area of M&TE under the control of the maintenance department.
The inspector had no further questions.
7.0 Exit meeting The inspector met with licensee representatives on_ September 26, 1986, to
!
summarize the scope and findings of the inspection.
At no time during the inspection was written material provided to the licensee by the inspector.
