Overall Prep erational Test Pro ram Review This inspection included followup on the inspection findings discussed in Inspection Report No. 78-08, as follows:
(78-08-01, Closed)
Review of test categor ies:
The licensee had reviewed system lineup and acceptance tests to determine whether any were within the scope of preoperational testing as defined by Regulatory Guide 1.68.
The inspector determined from review of the Preoperational Test Index that a number of procedures had been r edesignated Preoperational Test Procedures (POTPs).
(78-08-02, Open) Interfaces with test personnel:
The interface between test and operating personnel, particularly between the test erigineer and the shift supervisor,'ill be defined in a pending revision to Section 8.6 of the Test and Startup Program Manual (TSPM}.
(78-08-03, Open) Test organization changes:
The applicant stated that an update to the FSAR was in progress.
(78-08-04, Closed)
Pre-test procedure review:
The applicant had revised Test and Startup Instruction (TSI) Section 8 to describe the timing of preperformahce review of approved pre-operational test procedures (POTPs) consistent with Section 14.2.4.1.1 of the FSAR; (78-08-05, Open) Briefing of test personnel:
The applicant was incorporating pre-test briefing requirements into a pend-ing revision of TSPM; Section 8.6.1.
- (78-08-06, Open) Test interruptions:
Documentation of test interruptions will be discussed in a pending revision of TSPM, Section 8.6.8.
(78-08-07, Open) Resolution of problems:
The applicant was planning a revision to TSP-9 of the TSPM, which will define a test result not satisfying acceptance criteria to be a
deficiency.
TSP-9 would then require the item to be docu-mented and resolved on a Startup Problem Report form.
(78-08-08, Open) Distribution control:
The applicant had established procedures defining document control measures to be applied to prints, equipment manuals, and test procedures; however, the related'procedure (TSI 8.1, Paragraph 4.3) treated only the master copy of approved POTPs, and did not define what distribution of'OTPs is to be made and what controls are to be applied to that distribution.
The applicant stated that dis-tribution of POTP's would be included in the procedur (78-08-09, Closed)
Jumper contro1:
The applicant had revised TSI 13.1 to require mechanical jumpers, strainers, and other t'emporary conditions not specifically installed and removed in accordance with an approved procedure to be caution tagged in accordance with TSI 10.1.
The format of flushing procedures was also noted to provide control of temporary mechanical system attachments, with signatures required to verify installation and removal.
(78-08-10, Closed) Cleanliness of plant systems:
Neasures to control cleanliness of plant systems during the preopera-tional test phase were included in the facility's flushing program instructions and were incorporated by reference into TSI 12.1.
During review of the followup items discussed above, the inspector noted that Section 8.5.3 of the TSPN calls for the Startup Program Hanager to approve performance of preoperational test procedures,
whereas Section 14.2.4.1.1 of the FSAR requires this approval to be given by the Test Working Group.
The applicant also indicated an intent to delegate this authority to the Supervising Test Engineer.
The inspector expressed no concern about the licensee's intent so long as the FSAR is revised accordingly.
The applicant stated that the FSAR and TSPM would be made consistent with one another.
