The program for calibration of other safety-related instrumentation, not covered by TS, was also examined for adequacy and effectiveness. The inspector interviewed and held discus-sions with licensee personnel and cognizant plant management to assess their knowledge and understanding of the program requirements, and to review responsibilities assigned to various departments and sections of the licensee's organizatio .1 Program Review

The inspector reviewed the licensee's management controls for Surveil-lance Test and Calibration (ST) program. The ST program is managed and controlled by a computer matrix system. The computer program has been specifically developed by a contractor for this site to store and track instrument calibration and surveillance test informatio This information includes the last date of calibration or test, the date of the next scheduled surveillance, whether the scheduled fre-quency has been met, and the latest date by which the surveillance must be performed. It also indicates the responsible departments for such test The inspector determined that access to the prcgram is controlled by the project planning department. The project planner is responsible for entering data into the system. Each responsible department pro-vides current ST information to the project planner on a weekly basi Procedures are under development within the planning department to ensure the accuracy of data entered into the computer. The inspector reviewed a draft procedure (N2-PI-2.1) covering such activities. The procedure appeared adequate. Formal audits and spot checks are also performed br site QA department personnel to assure correctness and validity of this master schedule developed by the computer progra .2 Findines Based on the ab>ve review, examination, and discussions with cognizant personnel, the inspector determined that: . A master schedule for TS calibration and functional testing of 1 instrumentation and systems was established; the schedule in- i cluded frequency of each test / calibration and/or inspection, the i responsibility for implementation, and the surveillance test / I calibration status of the item or syste > The responsibility for maintaining and up-dating the schedule .

was established and assigned by procedur , The current master schedule reflected the TS requirements for such tests and/or calibration, and The responsibilities for review and evaluation of data, report-ing and controlling deficiencies, and ensuring the required surveillance test / calibration was satisfied had been established by procedure The inspector had no further questions in this area. No violations were identifie .

.

.

4 Calibration of Safety-Related Components Not Covered by fechnical Specification The inspector reviewed the program description and examined records to de-termine if calibration requirements had been established for components associated with safety-related systems and/or functions, but that were not specified in the TS and if a master schedule had been developed that included calibration frequency, responsibility for implementation, and the calibration status of each componen The inspector determined that a calibration program had been established for such safety related components. A master schedule had been developed to show the responsibility, frequency, and the status of calibration for each safety-related component not covered by the Technical Specification,

as well as to ensure adequate records were maintaine No violations were identifie . Surveillance Procedure and Records The inspector reviewed procedures and records to verify .that surveillance of safety-related systems and components was being conducted in accordance with approved prccedures as required by TS; and also if these procedures were adequate to accomplish the safety intent of the TS requirement, thus assuring operational safety of the plan The inspector randomly selected ten tests from completed surveillance tests to verify the adequacy of conformance to the above requirements. Documents +

reviewed are listed in section 9 of this repor V 4.1 Findings Based on the above review and examinations, the inspector determined that the procedures were adequate to direct and control surveillance testin Procedures included required prerequisites and preparations for test; acceptance criteria; instructions and steps to assure that the system or components were restored to an operating condition after the test; and responsibil.ities for review and approval for the test data. Proccdures appeared to meet the intent of the TS surveillance testing requirement The inspector also determined that the records maintained for these tests were adequate. They showed that the completed tests were re-viewed for acceptability of results; met the testing frequency; and were in conformance with the TS requirements for the surveillance test No violations were identifie .

, Quality Assurance Program for Measuring and Test Equipment The inspector reviewed the licensee's QA program to ascertain if the pro-gram adequately provided administrative controls over measuring and test equipment (M&TE); and if the controls provided were in conformance with

regulatory requirements, commitments, and industry standard '

The program review consisted of verification of licensee's commitments in the Final Safety Analysi's Report (FSAR) for conformance with regulatory requirements, and review of proceduras for adequacy. The inspector deter-mined that the licensee's commitments in the FSAR were generally adequate to fulfill regulatory requirements. The procedures contained criteria and responsibilities for calibration frequency, methods for placing in er re-moving equipment from service, and the calibration status of the equipmen The procedures also included methods of documenting calibration history of equipment, including:

Traceability to calibration source,

As-found and as-calibrated data, j

Identification of standards used,

,

Identification of calibration procedure used, and its traceability

to a national standard,

i Date of calibration, and .

Name of person performing calibratio The procedure also specified that M&TE equipment muct have accuracy four times greater than the equipment which was being calibrated. A system, H very similar to th'e master schedule used for TS calibration, was in use f

i

, for controlling the calibration frequency and recall of equipment. Re- i

'

quirements for the history of use, and controls to prevent inadvertent ,

use of equipment beyond calibration frequency were also established. The procedure also required an investigation and evaluation of data recorded by the M&TE prior to scheduled calibration if the M&T Equipment was found to be out of calibration. The inspector also questioned the responsible *

, I&C supervisor to assess his knowledge and understanding of the program,

'

and found him to be knowledgeabl No violations were identifie . Quality Assurance (QA) Department Involvement in Surveillance / Calibration Program l The inspector examined documents, and held discussions with QA supervisors and cognizant personnel to assess the understanding of their responsibil-l ities in this area, and their involvement in the implementation of this

.

Based on the above discussions and the examination of QA records, the in-spector determined that the plant QA department performed planned struc-tured program audits. Additionally, QA personnel perform surveillance in-spections routinely. The surveillance inspections are not comprehensive, structured inspections, but are limited scope inspections covering indivi-dual items, activities or a small part of the program. These surveillance

,

inspections are designed to verify the overall implementation of calibra-tion and TS surveillance test progra Based on the above examination and discussions, the inspector determined that Quality Assurance management and staff were aware of their responsi-bilities; the planned audits were comprehensive, and were well documente , No violations were identifie . Actions on Previously Identified Items (Closed) Violation 86-09-46: This violation involved the attachment of Class 1E rigid electrical conduits in non-seismic structure. The licensee has provided additional seismic bracing to resist seismic forces, thus protecting the integrity of the conduits in question. The additional structural bracing is an acceptable solution to the problem. This item is close . Management Meeting At the conclusion of the inspection, the inspector met with licensee ma-nagement (identified in paragraph I with an *), at which time tne inspec- j tors summarized the purpose, scope, and the findings of the inspectio '

The licensee acknowledged the inspectors' finding At no time during this inspection, did the inspector provide written material to the license . Documents Reviewed / Audited
