All persons listed above were present at the exit interview.
Licensee Action on Previous Ins ection Findin s
(78-08-08, closed) Distribution control for approved test procedures was covered by a September, 1979, revision to TSI-8.1 of the Test and Startup Program Manual (TSPM).
"A,licensee representative stated that'a typographical error (reference to 4.3 vice 4.4) in Section 4.4 of the TSI would be corrected.
(78-08-03 and 79-15-04, closed)
An FSAR change updating the test organization had been submitted to NRR.
(79-02-01, open)
The TSPM and the recently submitted FSAR change were not consistent with regard to who authorizes performance of preoperational tests.
The licensee stated that this would be resolved.
3.
Plant Procedures The inspector examined directives issued by the licensee to govern initial preparation and subsequent revision of plant procedures.
These included Generation Management Procedure 3-1, Plant Procedures Manual Section 1.3.1, and various Operations Division Instructions.
These documents were noted to have been issued over the past two years, GMP 3-1 being the most recent.
The documents provided effective coverage of the considerations involved in issuing plant procedures; PPM 1.3.1, the governing directive for subsequent revision of plant'procedures, adequately covered the review process and
CFR 50.59 requirements, although it lacked specifics with regard to procedure format.
The inspector stated that thevarious governing directives should be reviewed for consistency with regard to specified format and other details, and that the desired format for annunciator procedures should be defined (79-19-01).
0,
Facility records showed that, as of October 1979, 1017 of 1200 required procedures had been written, 409 were ready for review by the Plant Operations Committee (POC),
and 52 had been reviewed by the POC.
The preparation of plant procedures will be reviewed further during future inspections.
No deviations or items of noncompliance were identified.
4.
Prep erational Test Procedure Review a.
Main Steam Isolation Valve Leaka e Control S stem PT-63.0-A)
The inspector reviewed the Test Working Group (TWG) approved preoperational test procedure against the requirements of Regulatory. Guide 1.68 and the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR).
The following comments were provided to the licensee (79-19-02):
(1)
Detailed directions for applying a simulated signal to pressure switches were not provided.
(2)
Tolerances were not specified for the simulated signal.
(3)
A number of the design tolerances in the procedure were unreadable.
(4)
Steps for testing the pressure switches had been omitted.
b.
250 Volt DC Distribution PT-50.1-A Following additional in-office review of the procedure subsequent to the previous inspection, the following comments were discussed with the licensee (79-19-03).
These comments supplement these discussed in Inspection Report No. 79-15:
(1)
Correction of individual cell specific gravity values for electrolyte level should be considered (proposed technical specifications will require this correction during periodic surveillance).
(2)
Step 5.3.4 prescribes that specific gravity readings be taken at two-hour intervals.
Step 5.3.5 says to continue charging until corrected specific gravity for the lowest cell remains constant for four consecutive readings (3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br />)
~
Four consecutive readings would entail 6 vice
hours.
(3)
The temperature used to enter Table 1 for capacity correction factor should be specified and recorded in the test procedure ( IEEE Standard 450-1975 specifics cell temperature at the beginning of discharge).
-3-(4)
Consider reversing steps 5.1.11 and 5.1.12, since the present 5.1.12 requires action prior to the performance of 5.1.11.
(5)
Acceptance criterion 7.3 states that a satisfactory load profile test is evidenced by a battery terminal voltage of 210 volts DC or greater.
Although terminal voltage will be recorded on special recording equipment, the terminal voltage value used to satisfy the criterion should also be recorded on the procedure or an attached data sheet.
i No deviations or items of noncompliance were identified.
5.
Prep eration Test Procedures POTP's) - General (79-15-03, closed) This item was discussed further with licensee representatives.
The licensee established a committment to incorporate the following provisions in all POTP's thereafter approved by the Test Morking Group (previously approved POTP's will have these provisions incorporated during pre-test review):
The calibration due date for each test instrument will be recorded in the test procedure.
Acceptance criteria (with tolerances) will be indicated by each data point.
Data recorded for information only (with no applicable acceptance criteria) will be so indicated.
It is understood that operation of all annunciators will be verified during system lineup testing.
In addition, all annunciators which should actuate during the performance of a POTP will be verified on at least the first actuation.
Licensee representatives also made the following commitments regarding preoperational test procedures:
All procedures and test results required to satisfy FSAR commitments will be TWG-approved.
A form will be included in each POTP to provide for the recording of the initials and printed name of each person whose initials appear in the completed copy of the test procedure.
6.
Exit Interview The inspectors met with MPPSS representatives (denoted in paragraph 1) at the conclusion of the inspection on December 6,
1979.
The scope and findings of the inspection were discussed.
During the interview, MPPS representatives acknowledged the comments presented during the inspection (paragraphs 2 through 4) and confirmed the commitments established regarding preoperational test procedures (paragraph 5).
