DESCRIPTION OF OCCURRENCE:
On June 23, 1988, during the annual review of the plant surveillance database as required by procedure, the HL&P Plant Surveillance Coordinator identified that the surveillances associated with Technical Specification .
4.3.1.'1 staggerlagandof4.3. were scheduled with a method that could result test interval in improper scheduling, This method, known as frequency based determines the next due date for a given surveillance by' adding the surveillance interval to the last date the surveillance was performed and '
adjusting the due date as required by Technical Specification 4.c.2. The result of this calculation issures that tha surveillance interval for each train (equalmeets to thethetest Technical Specification requirement, however, the stagger redundant trains mayinterval divided by the number of trains) between tests of not remain constan Upon the discovery of the error in the scheduling method used, the Plant Surveillance Coordinator requested the responsible Divisional Surveillance Coordinator to review his surveillances for compliance with the staggered test basi The review identified that the surveillance tests for the Reactor Trip Breakers undervoltage and shunt trip devices did not meet the staggered
/ test basis June of Technical Specification 4.3.1.1.20 between Junn 20, 1988 and 23, 198 ,
Subsequently, "Staggered Test Basis" surveillances for r.11 for the current mode.reviewed to assure that Staggering intervals were correct other divisions were back to the issuance of the Operating License.The history of these surveillances wa
- lvo surveillances were found to have bean improperly staggered on Pressurizer Water Level Prctection and Extended Range Nuclear Instrumentatio *
On June 24, 1988, with Unit 1 in Mode 3, the Divisional S : .veillance Coordinator notified the Shif t Supervisor of the f ailure to meet the staggered test basis which was a violation of Technical Specification 4.3.1.1.20. The condition was subsequently determined to be reportable on June 25, 1988 and the NRC was notified pursuant to 10CTK50.12*at 1602 hour0.0185 days <br />0.445 hours <br />0.00265 weeks <br />6.09561e-4 months <br /> The test had already been performed on June 23, 1988, as scheduled, within its required surveillance interva .

CAUSE OF OCCURRDICE: ,
>
The root causes of this event were: .
1) Staggered test basis surveil?ances utilized frequency based scheduling which did not control the interval between tests of redundant traia ) Inadequate surveillance program in.that no requirement exists for assuring ttaggered intervals are restored and maintained af ter mode ch ang e s .
ANALYSIS OF EVDIT:
the This condition resulted in the violation of the staggered test basis for Reactor Trip Breaker undervoltage and shunt trip devices. Pressurizer Vater Level Protectian and Extended Range Nuclear Instrumentation as required by Technical Specifications which is reportable under 10CFR50.73(a)(2)(1)(B).
The surveillance interval requirements were met. There vere no adverse safety or radiological consequences as a result of this eve,nt. The event did not
,
,
produce any additional risk to the ,publi CORRECTIVE ACTION: *
The followirg corrective accions are being taken to prevent recurrence of the event:
1. -The surveillance data base was revised to establish calendar based scheduling for all staggered test basis surveillances'asscciated with Technical Specification paragraphs 4.3.1.1 and 4.3. ,
' A' Surveillance Program Task Force has been establishe This Task Force vill review the entire surveillance program in detail and provide managemont with suggestions for improvement. As a result of this incident, a subcocznittee to the Surveillasco Program Task Force has been created whose objectives are to more fully evaluate Staggered Test Basis surveillances, identify any additional corrective actions, and to implement changes to the staggering methods employed at ST This activity will be completed by September 30, 198 .

DESCRIPTION OF OCCURRENCE:
On July 12, 1988, with th.it 1 in Mode 1 at 76 percent power, the Houston Lighting & Power (HL&P) Chemical Operations and Analysis (C0&A) Department Divisional Surveillance Coord1Lator discovered that the monthly surveillance on Standby Diesel Generator (SDG) fil yuel Oil Storage Tank for particulate contamination had not been performed within its required interval. The Shift Supervisor was notified at 0945 hours0.0109 days <br />0.263 hours <br />0.00156 weeks <br />3.595725e-4 months <br /> and preparations were made to perform the tes The surveillance test was completed satisf actorily at 1007 hour0.0117 days <br />0.28 hours <br />0.00167 weeks <br />3.831635e-4 months <br /> ,
The NRC was notified at 1613 hour0.0187 days <br />0.448 hours <br />0.00267 weeks <br />6.137465e-4 months <br /> A subsequent investigation revealed that on June 17, 1988 the C0&A backup Divisional Surveillance Coordinator received the surveillance test package and misfiled it in a hold file instead of forwarding it to the Lead Chemical Technician's Offic When the surveillance became due on the Chemistry Sampling Schedule on June 30, 1988, the HL&P Lead Chemical Technician could not locate the surveillance test package or the test completion notic On July 1,1988, the surveillance test appeared on the daily overdue surveillance repor The Divisional Surveillance Coordinator was advised by i-another Lead Chemical Technician that he thought the surve111asce test had b' been co=pleted as scheduled and took no further action. The surveillance test
-
again appeared on the' overdue report on July 5, 1988. At that time, the Divisional Surveillance Coordinator believed that the test completion notice had been misplaced, and did not take the time to investigate until July 12, 1988 when the missing surveillance test package was found in the hold fil By then the grace period for this surveillance had been exceeded by two day .

ANALYSIS OT EVENT:
Failure to perform surveillr :- te, sting of Standby Diesel Generator Tuel Oil Storage Tank for particulate con'. amination is a violation of Technical Specification 4.8.1.1.2.D and is reportable under 10CTR50.73(a)(2)(1)(B). The test was performed on July 12, 1988 and the particulate contamination level was determined to be acceptabl .
There were no adverse safety or radiolcgical consequences as a result of this even The event did not produce any additional risk to the publi CORRECTIVE ACTION:
The following corrective actions are being taken to prevent recurrence of the event: The Plant Manager has issued a directive to emphasize the requirement that
.
surveillances be performed on their due dates and that the use of the b 7 grace period be limited. Additionally, direct 8ca has been included .
Instructing personnel to review objective evi'.ca9 to verify surveillance completio . The Plant Surveillance Program procedure has been revised to require the responsible department manager to review the overdue report and allocate sufficient resources to insure timely completion of surveillance tests.
