The Startup Group (SUG) Manager reports directly to the Vice President-Nuclear Group who is the executive responsible for all aspects of the nuclear power program. The SVG has five divisions with one, the Pre-operational Test, responsible for the conduct of safety related systems testing. Another is responsible for the testing of balance of plant

system Discussions with the SVG Manager indicated that staffing is not yet completed, but vigorous internal recruitment is ongoing and it appears qualified employees are readily available. Testing personnel will be i certified to appropriate levels of ANSI N45. '

Planning flow charts and other schedule projections have been developed

, and these are utilized to determine manpower needs. The Startup

'

Manual has been completed and issued. In addition to the reviews dis-cussed in paragraph 4, test results will be reviewed by the Joint Test Group. The Vice President-Nuclear Group stated that should peak testing periods require augmented staff, contractor or other internal personnel will be utilize It was determined that DLC has developed program controls and an organization capable of conducting preoperational testing activities.

Also, the staff is adequate for current and near term scheduled test Management is committed to providing sufficient manpower as activities

President-Nuclear Group explained that the availability of experienced personnel formerly assigned to the Shippingport Unit would preclude manpower resource problem Two separate QA surveillances were conducted during the recent partial testing of the Station Batteries. Two audits were conducted of system turnovers. One of the Startup Group audit was completed and a second one is scheduled for this quarte Preoperational testing is to be performed by individuals in the startup group certified in accordance with ANSI N45. QA surveillance of the tests will be performed under the requirements of the BVPS QA Manual by individuals certified in accordance with either ANSI N45.2.6 or ANSI N45.2.23. The QA Surveillance group receives the test schedules and attends the status and scheduling meetings of the startup group and also receives 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> notice of the initiation of any test. This assures QA has adequate notification of new tests. With this system 100%

surveillance is not anticipated, however the QA inspector / auditor will monitor critical functions during testing. QA Management will have the benefit of the status and scheduling meetings to assure their knowledge of critical operations and problems that are encountered so timely appropriate action can be take The inspectors concluded that this QA surveiliance of pre-operational test activities is comparable to the inspection coverage provided by QC during construction phas The following audit and surveillance packages were reviewed to determine compliance with regulatory requirements, licensee commitments and established procedure Audit DC-2-84-23, System Release / Turnover

The Semi-Annual Report for First Half of 1985 compiled by the QA organi-zation, now provides an executive summary.

It was noted that although the evaluation and coding of adverse findings incorporated a weighting factor this was not reflected in the trending analysis report which continues to be almost entirely quantitative in natur It was

determined that DLC has developed program controls and a QA organization

'

capable of current and near term overview (audits and surveillance) of preoperational testing activities and that management is committed to

providing sufficient manpower as neede No violations were identified, i
