(6) Quality Assurance Program (7)

Inspector Judgement The Test Procedures & Test Reusults were reviewed to verify:

That test prerequisites and plant conditions were specified

-

and reviewed, and approvals had been performed.

That contents of the procedures were correct, and the tests were

-

performed on schedule.

That test instruments were listed in the procedures and the

-

instruments used were identified in the results.

That test results were recorded and compared with acceptance

-

criteria and the return of the equipment to service and the removal of test equipment was verified upon completion of the test.

Within the areas inspected no items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

However, an overall finding of incomplete technical and supervisory review of surveillance test procedures, as evidenced by numerous errors in data recording and calculation, was communicated to the licensee.

The licensee has acknowledged this finding and has agreed to upgrade his Administrative Review Procedure '
