Calibration Program The calibration program of-components and equipment associated with safety related systems and/or-functions was examined for conformance with the requirements of the Technical Specifications, approved guides and standards. The inspection included a review of records of channel

.

functional tests and channel calibrations of the reactor protective system instrumentation, and emergency core cooling system activation

'

instrumentation. The inspector examined selected instruments from the reactivity control and power distribution system, the plant auxiliary systems, the reactor coolant system, and the containment' system The completed calibration documentation was reviewed for completeness, that the acceptance criteria was met, and that the proper approved revision was used. The technical content of channel functional tests and channel calibrations were examined to ensure satisfactory calibrations would result. The procedures were examined to ensure that they had been reviewed and approved as required by the Technical Specifications, that they.contain controls to insure limiting conditions for operation were met during the calibration, and_that the calibration would be to the required accurac The inspector checked various measuring / testing devices used as primary standards in the calibration of plant equipment and verified that they were being controlled in accordance with facility procedures, that the calibration frequency was met and accuracy verified, that the accuracy was traceable to the National Bureau of Standards, and that the storage and control of the equipment was proper. The inspector found that Digital Multi meter Model 8505A Trojan #T-8410 had a functional check performed on April 10, 1985 and the Instrumentation and Control (I&C)

Supervisor did not review and approve the functional check as the form required. The acting I&C supervisor reviewed and approved the form at the time of the finding.

i In addition, during the inspectors' review of calibrations of safety related equipment, the test equipment used was not recorded completely on

!

the data sheet for several-of the calibrations reviewed. This apparent weakness was previously discovered in Inspection Report 85-36 and was considered to be an apparent violation of Technical Specification Section

[ 6.8.1 and will be examined under followup item 85-36-01.

The licensee's calibration program activities relative to components and equipment associated with safety related systems and/or functions were conducted in accordance with the licensee approved procedures and instructions. The calibration program appears to meet the requirements of regulatory guides, industry codes, and the Technical Specification Except for the followup item, no violations or deviations were identified in this area of inspectio . Cold Weather Preparations The inspector examined the' licensee's program of protective measures for extreme cold weather. The inspector verified that the main steam line

,

support structure (susceptible to freezing) had heat tracing systems and

!

that the: heat tracing circuits were energized. The inspector observed during the cold weather preparation inspection that solenoid valve SV-2278B had no insulation installed. A maintenance request was issued by the Maintenance Supervisor to reinstall insulation around SV-2278 {The inspector was informed by the licensee that the insulation has been reinstalle No violations or deviations were identified in this area of inspection.

[ Tests and Experiments Program The inspector examined the licensee's Tests and Experiments program for y conformance with regulatory requirements, approved guides and standard Administrative Order (A0)-3-16, entitled "Special Plant Tests", Revision 14, issued July 23, 1985 provides a formal method to handle all requests or proposals for conducting plant tests and experiments involving safety-related components, systems or structures, or modes of operation different from those described in the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR). A0-3-16 has provisions which assure that all tests and experiments will be performed in accordance with approved written procedures; that responsibilities have been assigned for reviewing and approving test and experimental procedures; that a formal system, including assignment of responsibility, has been established to assure that all proposed tests and experiments will be reviewed to determine

. whether they have been described in the FSAR, and that a written safety l

evaluation pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59 will be developed for each test or l

experiment not described in the FSAR to assure that it does not involve p an unreviewed safety question or a change in the technical specification (TS). In addition, A0-3-16 provides that responsibility has been

'

assigned for all tests and experiments conducted pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59 to assure that they will be formally reported to the NRC in a timely maaner.

~ Temporary Instruction 2500/14-(Closed) Inspection of the Location of th Manual Trip Circuit in Westinghouse-Designed Plants with a Solid State

! Protection System (SSPS)

~

The objective ~of this Temporary. Instruction (TI) was to' determine whether

~

the licensee was using controlled; drawings that depict correctly.the actual location of the manual trip' circuit, an,d'to confirm that.the.-

. manual trip circuits were located downstream:of output transistors Q3~and

_Q4 in the undervoltage.(UV) output' circuit. ?-

'

the TI, Trojan's schematic diagram ' correctly depicts that the manual trip

'

'

circuits have been located downstream of outputitransistors Q3 and Q4 as

, .shown in the TI's Enclosure 2. 'The' schemat'ic Idrawin'g;was controlled and correctly indicated the location of'the-output transistors 7Q3-and Q .
