NMP-2 Safety Evaluation Repor Overall Power Ascension Test Program Initial Fuel Loading was completed on November 15, 1986. At the time of this inspection open vessel testing was proceeding smoothly with startup tests N2-SUT-05-0V, CRD and N2-SUT-13-0V, Process Computer remaining to be +

2.1 Power Ascension Test Results Evaluation Scope The power ascension test results discussed below were reviewed to verify that:

--

The test was performed in accordance with a current, approved procedur Test changes were approved in accordance with administrative procedure Test changes are annotated in the procedure and completed, if appropriat The basic objectives of the test were me Test deficiencies are documented, as require Test deficiencies were resolved, accepted by management and retests completed, if require System or process changes necessitated by test deficiencies have been properly documented and reviewe Test. deficiencies which constitute reportable occurrences have been properly reporte Required test data has been obtained and is within tolerances.

~

--

Individual test steps and data sheets have been properly initialed and date An engineering evaluation of the test data has been performe Test results are evaluated against established acceptance criteri Review and acceptance of test results has been documente Tests results have been reviewed by Quality Assurance or other Independent Organizatio Test results have been approved by appropriate managemen Discussion

The inspector reviewed the preliminary test results package and noted that a test exception had been written for a level 1 acceptance criteria concerning condensate demineralizer effluent dissolved 02 concentration. The 0 2concentration was out of specification high at 8300 ppb (requirement of 20-200 ppb). The licensee's resolution was to accept as is because the 20-200 ppb requirement applies at operating conditions only. Five additional test exceptions not related to acceptance criteria were identified and properly dispositione N2-SUT-2-0V, Radiation Measurements The inspector reviewed the preliminary test results package and verified that all acceptance criteria were satisfie N2-SUT-3-0V, Fuel Loading The inspector independently evaluated the preliminary test results including the 1/M plots maintained during the loading and the partial core shutdown margin test. In addition, the inspector reviewed portions of video tapes of the core verifi-cation conducted by the licensee following loading of the 362nd fuel bundle and following loading of the last fuel bundle (764th). The licensee verified proper fuel bundle orientation and location as documented in N2-RPSTP-5, Core Verificatio Fuel loading began on November 2, 1986 and the last bundle was loaded on November 15, 1986. All acceptance criteria were satisfied. One test exception was generated for having the "C" SRM bypassed while loading fuel bundles into the "C" quadran This is discussed further in the Senior Resident Inspector's inspection report (50-410/86-56).

N2-RPSTP-1, Shutdown Margin Test Due to the occurrence of several spurious neutron monitoring system scram signals, the licensee performed this test to demonstrate sufficient full core shutdown margin. Once demon-strated, the RPS shorting links were reinstalled, therefore restoring RPS coincident logic and eliminating the spurious scram signal The inspector reviewed the results of this test and verified that sufficient shutdown margin was demonstrate >

Findings No unacceptable conditions were identifie ,

2.2 Power Ascension Test Witnessing-Scope The inspector witnessed portions of the power ascension test discussed below. The performance of this test was witnessed to verify that:

--

The current, approved revision of the test procedure was available and in use by all participant The minimum crew requirements, as defined in the approved procedure and technical specifications, were being me Required prerequisites and initial conditions were establishe Test equipment was calibrated and operated in accordance with procedur The procedure was technically adequate and appropriate to the circumstance Crew performance was correct and timel Coordination of test related activities was adequat A preliminary analysis of all data collected was expeditiously performed following completion of the tes The test was performed in accordance with all administrative requirement Discussion

-

N2-SUT-5-0V, Centrol Rod Drive System This startup test includes friction, functional and scram time testing of all control rod drives (CRD's) at a reactor pressure of 0 psi ,

The inspector witnessed performance of section 6.2, Friction Testing, for CRD's 30-07, 30-03 and 26-03. The overall test crew performance was satisfactory. The inspector observed test equipment set up for each rod, initiation of testing for each rod and data reduction following the testing of each rod. All test results were within acceptance criteria limit ._ . . ._

Findings No violations were identifie .0 Surveillance Procedure Review Scope The inspector reviewed the surveillance procedures listed in Attachment A to assess whether the surveillance procedures satisfied technical speci-fication requirements to support initial criticality and plant heat u Inspection Report 50-410/86-41 described the licensee process of using

-

interim surveillance procedures to verify the adequacy of tre surveillance procedure prior to approving the final surveillance procedure in accord-ance with the administrative procedur Discussion The surveillance procedures were found to satisfy technical specification requirement During review of N2-0SP-CSH-M001 and N2-OSP-RHS-M001, the inspector independently parformed a field inspection of several of the as-left valve positions and verified all as-left valve positions in the control roo Findings No violations were identifie .0 QA/QC Interfaces The inspector reviewed three QA Surveillance Reports covering activities associated with the initial fuel loading. The inspector noted that the surveillances included preformulated checklists which detailed critical attributes to be monitored. Surveillance Report SR-86-10837 identified a quality concern relating to the implementation of housekeeping and clean-liness controls per Administrative Procedure AP-P.S. Corrective Action Request (CAR) #86-106 was written by QA requesting formal resolution of the concern by the responsible organization (Operations). The inspector will review this resolution in a future NRC inspectio Findings

,.

No unacceptable conditions were identifie .0 Independent Measurements and Verifications The inspector made independent measurements of control rod drive piston i differential pressures from photographs of oscilloscope traces made during

continuous insert friction testing as part of N2-SUT-5-0 In addition the inspector independently verified as-left valve positions and proper fuel bundle orientation and location as discussed in paragraphs 3.0 and 2.1 respectfully.

Findings No unacceptable conditions were identifie I 6.0 Plant Tours and Meetings The inspector made several tours of various areas of the facility to observe work in progress, housekeeping, cleanliness controls and startup testing activitie In addition, the inspector randomly attended the l licensee's morning Startup Plan of the Day meeting during which the current '

status of testing activities and any holds or delays are discussed. Other items such as remaining preoperational testing, surveillance, and outage activities are also discussed. No unacceptable conditions were observe .0 Exit Interview A management meeting was held at the conclusion of the inspection on November 21, 1986, to discuss the inspection scope, findings and observa-tions.as detailed in this report (see Paragraph I for attendees). No written information was provided to the licensee at any time during this inspection. The licensee did not indicate that any proprietary informa-tion was contained within the scope of this inspectio .
