2.
0 erational Staffin The inspector reviewed the qualifications of the new plant manager and operations superintendent against the requirements of ANSI N18.1, with no exceptions noted.
This completes the review of the MNP-2 operating staff qualifications.
No deviations or items of noncompliance were identified.
3.
Prep erational Test Procedure Review a ~
Reactor Core Isolation Coolin RCIC S stem
. PT-60-A The inspector reviewed the Test Morking Group (TMG) approved preoperational test procedure versus Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.68 and the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR).
Three comments were presented by the inspector for licensee resolution (7g-15-Ol):
(1)
The acceptance criteria for testing the cooling water pressure control valve deviated from the FSAR requirements.
(2)
The vacuum breaker valves on the RCIC turbine exhaust line are not being tested as required by the FSAR.
(3)
No instructions were given in the procedure for installing/
removing temporary jumpers as required by RG 1.68.
Licensee representatives stated that the inspector's comments would be reviewed for incorporation into the test procedur l
,

C.
Residual Heat Removal RHR S stem PT-9.0-A A partial review of the TllG-approved RHR system preoperational test procedure (POTP)
was conducted.
The following comments were discuss'ed with the licensee:
(1)
Identification of the test gauges installed in Step 2.4.9 was not provided as required by TSP-7 to the Test and
'tartup Program Manual:
(2)
Acceptance criteria for many of the data points in the procedure were not provided, as required by TSP-7.
(3)
Identification of the operating or test instrument to be used for recording data was not provided in many cases.
(4)
The test procedure did not verify proper operation of annunciators related to the RHR system, as required by TSP-7 and Paragraph 14.2.2.1.7 of the FSAR.
(5)
Because of water purity requirements, the RHR POTP (Step 5.13) referred to cleaning procedure CP-58.0 for verifi-cation of flow path for emergency injection from standby service water.
The applicant stated that the related portions of the test results for CP-58.0 would be reviewed by TllG.
(6)
The RHR POTP did not provide verification of all combina-tions of the LPCI initiation logic as committed in Paragraph 14.2.12.1.7.
The licensee stated that this would be reviewed for incorporation into the RHR POTP, either directly or by reference to another TllG-approved document.
The licensee acknowledged the above comments and stated that items (1) through (4) would be incorporated into the RHR, POTP, PT-9.0-A.
The inspector's review of this POTP will be completed during a future inspection.
250 Volt dc Batter Prep erational Test The inspector reviewed a portion of'he preoperational test procedure for the 250 volt dc battery and battery charger.
Based on an evaluation of procedural prerequisites, the following comments are pertinent:
(1)
No evident prerequisite exists to ensure a fire suppression system is operable in the battery room prior to the test.
(2)
The procedure did not require a calibrated thermometer to be utilized to measure individual battery cell temperatures during the battery capacity portion of the test.
The
1, O.~
l t
-3-temperatures measured are used to generate a correction factor for computing actual battery capacity based on test data.
(3)
The procedure did not require that hydrometers used to measure individual cell specific gravities be calibrated.
These hydrometers will be used to measure data that will serve as a baseline for evaluating battery performance throughout battery life.
The licensee stated that the above comments would be incorporated into the procedure.
Inspector review of this POTP will be completed during a future inspection.
During discussion of battery intercell connector torque specifi-cation, a licensee representative stated that some of the intercell connectors on the 250 volt dc battery may have been overtorqued.
The licensee had generated a Startup Deficiency Report (SDR) on this condition and will document resolution of the condition on the SDR.
(79-15-02)
No deviations or items of noncompliance were identified.
4.
Prep erational Test Procedures POTP's
- General In view of the apparently generic comments (Paragraph 3.b) regarding acceptance criteria,-instrument identifications, and verification of annunciator operability in POTP's, the licensee stated that all POTP's will be reviewed to ensure that these areas are properly addressed.
(79-15-03)
Section 8.6.9 of the Test and Startup Program Hanual requires all personnel whose initials appear in a POTP.to place their initials and printed name (for identification purposes)
in the test summary which is attached to the completed test procedure.
The licensee stated that, to facilitate reference, these initials and printed names would be placed on a separate sheet of the test summary.
5.
Test Or anization Recent changes in the licensee's organizational structure for pre-,
operational testing and plant operqtions were explained to the inspectors.
In discussions during 'the exit interview, licensee representatives stated that the organizational changes would be submitted as an FSAR change request by November 1, 1979, and in-corporated into the Test and Startup Program Hanual by January 1,
1980.
(79-15-04)
6.
Bulletins and Circulars An inspector reviewed the licensee's procedures for tracking IE Bulletins and Circulars within the operations and startup organi-zations of HHP-2.
Currently these organizations review or provide
f lt
an input to Bulletin or Circular responses that will affect projected plant operations or administration.
The licensee was informed during the exit interview that operating considerations associated with Bulletins and Circulars would be reviewed by IE prior to fuel loading.
The'nspector also reviewed l<NP-2 Department Instruction 3,
"Review of Regulatory Information," which discusses the handling of Bulletins and Circulars after licensing.
No deviations or items of noncompliance were identified.
7.
Exit Interview The inspectors met with 1JPPSS representatives (denoted in Para-graph 1) at the conclusion of the inspection on September 13, 1979.
The scope and findings of'he inspection were discussed.
During the interview, HPPSS representatives made the following statements in response to certain of the matters discussed:
Stated that inspector comments on preoperational test procedures'POTP's)
would be incorporated.
(Paragraph 3)
Stated that recent organizational changes would be submitted as an FSAR change request by November l. 1979, and would be incorporated into the Test and Startup Program Nanual by January 1, 1980.
Subsequent to the inspection, and,following additional review of POTP's, the inspectors conducted telephone conversations with licensee representatives on September 20 and 21, 1979.
During these conversations, additional comments on POTP's were presented (included in Paragraph 3.b and 3.c),
and a licensee representative stated that all POTP's would be reviewed for generic weaknesses similar to those identified in the RHR POTP.
