Criticality should occur within + 1% hk/k of the predicted critical.
RESULTS A.
TEST CONDITION OPEN VESSEL The full core shutdown margin with the analytically strongest rod withdrawn was determined to be 2.716% d k/k.
A 0.015'X hk/k differ-ence was observed between the actual and theoretical critical eigen-values.

Page 15 of 36 TEST NUMBER 14 RCIC SYSTEM PURPOSE The purpose of this test is to verify the proper operation of the Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) System over its expected operating pressure range.
CRITERIA A.
LEVEL 1
The time from actuating signal to required flow must be less than 30 seconds at any reactor pressure between 150 psig (10.5/kg/cm2) and rated.
With pump discharg'e at any pressure between 150 psig (10.5 kg/cm2) and 1220 psig (85.8 kg/cm~), the required flow is 600 gpm.
(The limit of 1220 psig includes a conservatively high value of 100 psi for line losses.
The measured value may be used if available.)
The RCIC turbine must not trip off during startup.
If any Level 1 criteria are not met, the reactor operation will be restricted to the power level defined by WNP-2 FSAR Figure 14.2-5.
This restriction is in addition to any restrictions defined by the Technical Specification.
B.
LEVEL 2 The Turbine Gland Seal Condenser System shall be capable of prevent-ing steam leakage to the atmosphere.
The differential pressure switch for the RCIC steam supply line high flow isolation trip shall be adjusted to actuate at 300K of the max-imum required steady state flow.
In order to provide an overspeed and isolation trip avoidance mar-gin, the transient start first and subsequent speed peaks shall not exceed 5% above the rated RCIC Turbine Speed.
The speed control loops shall be adjusted so that the decay ratio of any RCIC system related variable is not greater than 0.25.
Note:
The Flow Control Loop should be set for no observable second over-shoot during CST tests.
The Flow Control Loop during reactor injec-tion tests shall be adjusted so that the decay ratio of any system related variable is not greater than 0.25.

RESULTS'.
TEST CONDITION:
HEATUP Controlled and hot quick starts of the RCIC System injecting to the Condensate Storage Tank (CST) were performed during the heatup test phase.
These tests were performed at 150 psig and at rated pressure with the pump discharge pressure throttled to 100 psi above reactor pressure.
During this testing phase controller tuneup and proper system performance were verified.
RCIC System control from the re-mote shutdown panel (RSP) was verified at rated pressure with flow recirculated back to the CST.
Flow step changes were performed to tuneup and verify proper controller settings from both the Control Room and RSP.
All acceptance criteria were satisfied during this testing phase.
B.
TEST CONDITION:
TC-1 The TC-1 phase of the RCIC System testing involved two cold quick starts with injection to the vessel, followed by flow steps of 5%
and 10'X to demonstrate controller stability.
The quick starts were initiated at rated pressure from the Control Room and the Remote Shutdown Panel (RSP).
The 5% and 10% flow steps (initial flows of 540 gpm and 270 gpm at rated pressure) were initiated from both the Control Room and RSP.
The cold quick starts satisfied the Level 1
and 2 criteria.
The controller stability tests below 400 gpm did not meet the Level 2 criteria for decay ratio 4,. 25.
- However, the automatic function of RCIC occurs at 600 gpm.
The system will automatically isolate on high reactor water level and automatically. restart when obtained.
If operation at less than 400 gpm continuous flow is desired, the operator can achieve the same result by manually starting and stopping the system.
In all cases RCIC will automatically restart when a reactor low water level occurs.
Thus the decay ratio failure at flows below 400 gpm does not adversely effect the actual RCIC system operation.
In addition, RCIC CST to CST hot quick starts at 150 psig and at rated reactor pressure were repeated to confirm the system response to the controller gain change at this test condition.
All Level 1
and Level 2 criteria were satisfied.

Page 17 of 36 TEST NUMBER 16A SELECTED PROCESS TEMPERATURES PURPOSE The purpose of this procedure is to a) verify the setting of the low flow control limiter for the recirculation pumps to avoid coolant temp-erature stratification in the reactor pressure vessel bottom head
- region, b) assure that the measured bottom head drain temperature cor-responds to bottom head coolant temperature during normal operations, and c) identify any reactor operating modes during recirculation pump restarts or one pump operation that cause temperature stratification.
CRITERIA A.
LEVEL 1
1.
The reactor recirculation pumps shall not be started nor flow increased unless the coolant temperatures between the steam dome and bottom head drain are within 145'F (56'C).
2.
The recirculation pump in an idle loop must not be started unless the loop suction temperature is within 50'F (28'C) of the steam dome temperature.
B.
Level 2
RESULTS During two-pump operation at rated core flow, the bottom head temp-erature as measured by the bottom drain line thermocouple should be within 30'F (17 C) of the recirculation loop temperatures.
A.
TEST CONDITION:
HEATUP The "selected process temperature" test at TC-Heatup was performed for both two-pump and single pump operation with the reactor operat-ing near rated temperature and pressure at 4% power.
For two-pump operation the recirculation flow was decreased by gradually decreas-ing the position of both flow control valves (FCV) from 100% to their minimum position.
With both valves at their minimum position, the reactor water cleanup flow was decreased from 270 gpm to'3 gpm and then the control rod drive flow was increased from 64 gpm to 76 gpm.
For single pump operation the recirculation flow was decreased by gradually decreasing the position of FCV-B from 100% to the mini-mum position.
With FCV-B at minimum position, the reactor water cleanup flow was decreased from 270 gpm to 115 gpm and then the con-trol rod drive flow was increased from 60 gpm to 75 gpm.
At no time did the temperature difference between the steam dome and bottom head drain exceed the 145'F Level 1 criteria limit.
The largest temperature differential observed during this test was 104 F.

Page 19 of 36 TEST NUMBER 16B WATER LEVEL REFERENCE LEG TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT PURPOSE The purpose of this test is to measure the reference leg temperature and recalibrate the affected level instruments if the measured temperature is different than the value assumed during the initial calibration.
CRITERIA A.
LEVEL 1
Not applicable.
B.
LEVEL 2 RESULTS The indicator readings on the narrow range level system should agree within + 1.5 inches of the average readings or the reading calcu-lated from the correct reference leg temperatures.
The wide and upset range level system indicators should agree within
+ 6 inches of the average readings or the readings calculated from the correct reference leg temperatures.
A.
TEST CONDITION:
HEATUP Temperature in the area of the reference legs of the water level instruments as well as water level instrument readings were taken at steady state, rated conditions during TC-Heatup.
All temperatures taken were within the calibration tolerance.
However, nine instru-ments consisting of seven narrow range and two wide range, failed to meet the Level 2 acceptance criteria.
All narrow range instruments were within 2 inches of the criteria range while all wide r ange and upset level instruments were within 3 inches of the criteria range.
An effort was initiated to more accurately determine the reference leg condensing pot elevations of these instruments.
These Level 2
discrepancies will be resolved as the Power Ascension Program proceeds into TC-2.

In addition, the remote monitor equipment (RTD's and lanyard potentiometers) which are used in later phases of this test, have been installed, calibrated, and tested.
Each sensor location has been photographed and surveyed.
B.
TEST CONDITION:
HEATUP Visual inspections of the drywell pipings of NSSS and the auxiliary system were conducted twice during the initial heatup.
The first inspection was conducted on ll April, 1984, with the reactor temper-ature at 250'F.
The second inspection was conducted on 20 April, 1984, with the reactor temperature at 485'F.
These walkdowns were to verify that the selected drywell piping systems and components are unrestrained and free in regard to thermal expansion.
The setting on the pipe supports (snubbers and hangers) were recorded.
The clearances on the pipe whip restraints were verified.
Cables were checked to ensure they were not stretched.
Some obstructions which could interfere with the thermal expansion of the systems inspected were found and corrected.
Displacements at the established remote monitoring equipment loca-tions were collected through two thermal cycles.
No Level 1 limits were exceeded but the measured displacement of several locations were out of the range of the Level 2 limits for the Main Steam and Recirculation Systems.
This data was transmitted to G.E. Engineer-ing for disposition of Level 2 discrepancies.
These discrepancies were r eveiwed and accepted by G.E. Piping Engineering.
Level 2
limits for systems other than Main Steam and RRC were exceeded and evaluated by Supply System Engineering as acceptable.
No Level 1
limits were exceeded on these other systems.

RESULTS A.
TEST CONDITION:
HEATUP Proper operation of the Safety Relief Valves was verified through this test by demonstrating that relief valve steam was discharged to the suppression pool and that the valves reseated after actuation.
This was accomplished by cycling each relief valve individually and recording discharge line (tail pipe) thermocouple readings prior to and after relief valve actuation.
In addition, acoustical monitors were used to indicate the discharge of steam to the suppression pool and the reseating of the relief valves.
The pressure regulator satisfactorily controlled the reactor pres-sure transient during the actuation of relief valves.
Flow capacities will be determined at TC-2 or between TC-2 and TC-3.

Not applicable.
B.
LEVEL 2 RESULTS The Drywell Cooling System shall maintain drywell air temperatures and humidity at or below the, design values as specified for the NSSS (SIC, Safety Related) equipment.
A.
TEST CONDITION:
TC-HEATUP AND TC-1 The design values for the drywell are LOCA parameters and are very large, therefore, Technical Specification parameters are conserva-tively used.
Temperatures:
(Taken during test condition heatup)
Re uirement Actual Value l.
Average ambient air temp-111'F erature of 135'F or less in containment.
2.
Drywell ambient air temperature of 150 F or less at any single location in containment.
All below 150'F except:
CMS-TI-16 which shows 165'F The Technical Specifications stipulated 150 F or less near safety-related equipment that is required to be operational.
There is no safety-related equipment near CMS-TI-16 (located in the lower regions of the area between the sacrificial shield wall and the reactor vessel) therefore the results are considered acceptable.
The initial heatup of HNP-2 revealed some duct and flow distribution problems in the drywell.
Design changes are being implemented which allow temperatures to remain below Technical Specifications limits.

CRITERIA A.
LEVEL 1
The release of radioactive gaseous and particulate effluents must not exceed the limits specified in the site Technical Specifica-tions.
There shall be no loss of flow of dilution steam to the noncondensing stage when the steam jet air ejectors are pumping.
B.
LEVEL 2 RESULTS The system flow, pressure, temperature, and relative humidity shall comply with the design specifications.

A.
TEST CONDITION:
HEATUP During heatup the Off-Gas System was functionally tested in the startup and normal modes of operation.
System performance was judged acceptable even though the maximum dilution steam flow which could be obtained was below the suggested operational limit.
System performance will be evaluated again during TC-1.
All test criteria were satisfied with the exception of a few system parameters due to excessive condenser air inleakage.
These parameters will be re-examined when the condenser air leakage reduction program has been completed.
B.
TEST CONDTION:
TC-1 The Off-Gas System was functionally tested in the normal mode of operation during TC-1.
The system performance was judged accept-
- able, however several parameters were outside their operational range.
Additional time was needed to solve the low dilution flow problem.
Supply System Engineering evaluated the maximum power level obtainable, given the present steam flow, to conservatively be 40% power.
Reactor power is limited to below 40% of rated until this problem can be resolved.
Off-Gas System performance will be evaluated again during TC-3.
