Inspection Results (a) The inspectors reviewed six audits and fourteen surveillances of various startup and power ascension tests. The audits and surveillances were adequately performed and documented.
The inspectors noted a few minor omissions and incomplete notations on audit and surveillance checklists; however, these concerns were adequately handled and resolved. The inspectors have no further concerns in this area.
(b) The inspectors noted that several startup test packages had not been reviewed by Production Engineering Department (PED);
some of the tests were completed in January,1987. The inspectors were concerned as to the timeliness of this review since the completion of these reviews was not delaying ascension to the next power level. This was discussed with the licensee and the licensee stated that it would be reviewed.
b.
Non-Licensed Staff Training (41400)
The inspectors reviewed station QA qualifications records for five lead auditors and detennined that the five lead auditors met requirements of ANSI N45.2.23, " Qualification of QA Prograra Audit Personnel for Nuclear Power Plants". The training records for the five auditors were reviewed and appeared to be adequate. The backup documents provided with the records generally provided sufficient objective evidence to support the auditor qualifications.
The inspectors concluded that licensee management was involved in assuring quality for startup and power ascension testing. The number of auditors was adequate and the training appeared to contribute to an understanding of the work performed.
No violations or deviations were identified.
