) Plant Status The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued Facility Operating License NPF-38 together with Technical Specifications and Environmental Protection Plan to LP&L for the Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 on March 16, 1985. License NPF-38 authorizes operation of the Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3, at core power levels not to exceed 3390 megawatts ~ thermal (100 percent power), and supersedes License NPF-26, issued on December 18, 198 , At,the end of the inspection period the-licensee was in the process of conducting startup testing at the 20 percent power leve . Startup Test Procedure Review The NRC inspectors reviewed the startup test procedures for performing power ascension testing of the plant. The procedures were reviewed for technical content, compliance with the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR), and ccepliance with licensee's administrative procedures. The startup test procedures reviewed are listed below: SIT-TP-716 Core Performance Record

The licensee used' explicit set point methodology to account for individual instrument uncertainty such as instrument loop error, set point variance, and instrument drift. This method ensures that the trip setpoint is sufficiently below the allowable value to prevent high containment pressure without initiating a containment isolation signal, i

In addition to the containment high pressure isolation, the containment purge system is designed to automatically isolate on a containment purge isolation signal (high radiation). Operability of the containment purge isolation valves has been analyzed to ensure I closing against the most severe design basis accident. The analysis showed that the containment purge isolation valves are capable.of closing under any accident conditions when Ifmited to an opening of l 52'.

following a planned simultaneous trip of all four reactor coolant

,

pumps (RCP), was less conservative than that assumed in FSAR Section 15.3.2.1. The RCP flow coastdown curve is used by C-E to establish the maximum thermal margin for the COLSS and setpoints. To ensure that the COLSS is conservative and the plant operated within the analyzed operating parameters, the COLSS penalty factor EPOL1 has been changed from -4.7175 to -7.000. This new COLSS penalty factor will remain in effect until RCP flow coastdown can be reanalyzed during SIT-TP-727, "80% Loss of Flow - Natural Circulation." SIT-TP-505 - The flow settings on the pressurizer continuous spray valves (RC-302A and RC-302B) could not be adjusted to maintain the pressurizer spray line temperature 25'F to 30*F colder (actual 50*F) , than the average RCS cold leg temperature at> steady state conditions as required by the acceptance criteri C-E, in letter C-CE-9390, dated February 8, 1985, stated that the maximum allowable temperature differential for the spray nozzle could be increased to a value of' 85* The NFT data for the pressurizer spray line temperature indicated readings of approximately 522'F with <four RCPs operating and both cos.tinuous spray bypass valves fully open. The pressurizer spray line low temperature ' alarm is presently set at 525'F which is resulting in an almost constant alarm conditio C-E, in their

 .
 .

letter C-CE-9390, recommended resetting the alarm to 520'F to void

. the constant alarm during steady' state operating conditions. In addition,' Technical Specification 5.7, " Component Cyclic or Transient Limits,". Table 5.7.1,.for the pressurizer spray nozzle should be revised to account for the reduced netpoint.' The present Technical Specification limit calls for a differential temperature of.130*F between'the pressurizer water (approximate 1y'653*F at 2250 psia) and the spray water temperature, with less than four RCPs running. The licensee is presently reviewing a change'to allow the limit to be revised to 140*F, to avoid the present' required calculation of usage
