. Adequate coordination and test control were present among personnel involved in the tes Certification and training of selected test personnel was in compliance with the Unit 2 Startup Manual Requirements.

.

The required hydrostatic test pressure was reached on May 9,1988, at approximately 5:28 p.m. The test conditions regarding temperature and

~

pressure being within the required ranges, and that the hydrostatic test pressure hold time being met, were verified by the inspectors. The licensee had assembled teams of inspectors to perform inspections of .

piping and components within the test boundary. Several Westinghouse l inspectors-and authorized nuclear inspectors were available and inspected  ;

-vendor-related components- and ASME Section III piping and components i respectively. The RCS hydrostatic test performance was effective with respect to meeting the safety objectives of the preoperational test progra Violations or deviations were not identified during the witnessing of the RCS Hydrostatic Test.
