(0 pen) Open Item (79-16-04, paragraph 7.b.(6).d)).

This concerned the development of enclosures 11.3.1 and 11.3.2 to IP/0/A/3001/02.

The licensee has not written these enclosures. This item remains open.

(8)

(0 pen) Open item (79-16-04, paragraph 7.b.(7)).

This concerned the incorporation of signed checkoffs by which a verification of.

completion of significant steps can be performed. Examples of the significant steps were exercising reactor half-trip switches, reactor trip bypass switches and restoration of system / component to normal state, etc.

The licensee did not agree with the sig-nificance of the above examples as well as the complexity existing in the instrument procedures. The licensee and inspector agreed to perform additional reviews of instrument procedures in order to resolve this portion of open item 79-16-04.

c.

(Closed) Open Item 78-21-01 concerning discrepancies between preoper-ational test TP/1/A/1200/03C and FSAR figure C.3.2-10 sheets 1, 2, 3 on the minimum acceptable flow rates for the different ESF systems.

The inspector reviewed revision 15 and 16 to FSAR figure 6.3.2-10 and the completed copy of TP/1/A/1600/03C. The minimum acceptable ESF flow rates in the test procedure are in agreement with the FSAR values.

This item is closed.

d.

(Open) Open Item 78-21-03 concerning the need to perform a time response test on each sensor or signal path associated with either the Reactor Protection System or the Safety Injection Initiation system.

The inspector reviewed the licensee's program for determining the overall time response.

It consists of three sections namely:

sensor response, electronic signal processor response, and final device response.

The sensor response is determined via IP/0/A/3010/06B for pressure and differential pressure transmitters, and IP/0/A/3010/06A for RTD's.

The final device response is measured via TP/1/A/2600/09 for the control rods and via TP/1/A/1200/03C for the safety injection system components.

The electronic processor timing is measured in TP/1/A/1600/03. The inspector has reviewed IP/0/A/3010/06A, IP/0/A/

3010/06B, TP/1/A/1200/03C, and TP/1/A/2600/07 and has no comments on them. Since TP1/A/1600/03 has not been written yet this item will remain open until the procedure has been issued and the inspector can review the procedure.

Audit of Calibration Activities The inspector conducted a review of IP/0/A/3066/02, Rotork Actuator Corrective Maintenance and Work Request Number 2068, and monitored, on 10/10/79, the portions of the calibration activities performed on the rotork actuator values, NV222 and FW EV 32B.

The inspector also conducted a review of training records for two technicans performing the calibrations.

The calibration above was reviewed to verify:

Review and approvals were being conducted and data was recorded and evaluated.

Test instruments were listed and identified in test results.

Adherence to proposed technical specifications and FSAR requirements.

-

The procedure's techrical content was correct and included verification that the equipment was returned to service and test equipment was removed.

The inspector used one or more of the following acceptance criteria for evaluating the above items in the calibration program:

Station Directives Manual, Section 2.3.

- Control of Measuring and

.

Test Equipment; Station Directives Manual, Section 2.5 - Qualifications and Training

.

of Personnel; FSAR, Section 13 and Section 16;

.

ANSI N18.7 (1976), Administrative Controls for Nuclear Power Plants;

.

ANSI N45.2(1971), Quality Assurance Program Requirements for Nuclear

.

Power Plants; Industry Practice

.

Within the areas inspected, no open items were identified but ore inspector comment was generated. During the review of the training records, the inspector noted that one of the technicians who performed the calibration work for FW EW 32B valve did not have records indicating completion of necessary occupational training. During discussion with the licensee it was verified that the training records may not have been updated due to the fact that the technician is fairly new.

The inspector identified to the licensee that the performance of work on safety related equipment must be performed by qualified personnel once an operating license is issued.

The licensee acknowledge the inspector's comment.

7.

Review of Preoperational Test Procedures The inspectors reviewed TP/1/A/1200/03A, Engineered Safety Features Functional Test, for conformance to FSAR sections 6.3, 8.3 and 14.1 and Regulatory Guide 1.68.

The inspector noted that the actuation of the containment spray pump was initiated after the 25 sec diesel load sequence time had elapsed by simulating the existance of two containment HI-HI pressure signals. Actual pump operation was verified nine seconds later.

In all other instances, diesel generator load sequence times specified in FSAR table 8.1.2-1 were confirmed. The inspectors had no comment on the procedure.
