The inspector

reviewed all the above indicated procedures,

completed

since

commercial

operations. for the

above listed valve,

to verify

that

these

procedure

are

the latest

ones

approved

and that test

acceptance

criteria used

were valid for the component

being tested.

d.

The inspector

reviewed all the above indicated procedures,

completed

since

commercial

operations

for the

above listed valves, to verify

that inservice test results

were recorded

per the approved

procedures

and that data

was evaluated within the time constraints

delineated

in

the appropriate edition of the

ASME Code Section XI, Subsections

IWP

and

IWV.

e.

The inspector

reviewed data

from all the above indicated procedures,

completed

since commercial

operations for the above listed valves, to

verify that

IST data

was evaluated

per the requirements

of ASME Code

Section XI, Subsection

IWV, and

10 CFR 50.55a(g)

and

ensured

that

appropriate

followup actions

were taken.

f.

The inspector

examined

selected

records

to verify that

IST records

are

maintained

as

delineated

in

ASME

IWV-6000;

and

engineering

evaluations

are sufficient to justify changes

to reference

values

and

removal

of

increased

frequency

testing

requirements

should

be

documented

and reviewed;

g.

Relative to the above,

the inspector

made the following observations.

(1)

Valve No. 1-SC-34

a 3-inch check valve is required

by ISI-203 to

be full flow tested.

This testing

is

accomplished

with

OST-1215,

"Emergency

Service

Water System Operability quarterly

Interval

Modes 1-2-3-4."

OST-215,

Rev.

1, paragraph

1. 1 states

"to verify the operability of 1B-SB

ESW Screen

Wash

Pump

and

that its associated

discharge

check valve (1-SC-34)

passes

flow

in the forward direction."

The procedure

provides

no full flow acceptance criteria for the

pump

and

therefore,

no full flow acceptance

criteria for

1-SC-34.

The

above is the result of the fact that the screen

wash

pump flow is dependent

on system

demand.

In view of the

above, it is evident that the licensee

has not demonstrated

that

valve

1-SC-34 is exercised

to the position required to fulfill

its safety function as required

by IWV-3522.

IWV-3522 has

been

interpreted

by the Office of Nuclear

Reactor

Regulation

(NRR)

letter from D.

G. Eisenhut,

Director, Division of Licensing to

C.

E. Norelius, Director, Division of Engineering

and Technical

Programs,

Region III, dated

January 3,

1983,

which indicated

that

NRR has

found four methods

acceptable

to test check valves

in which the full stroke motion of the disk cannot

be directly

observed

or where there is no position-indicating device are

as

follows:

a.

By demonstrating that the valve can

pass

the full flow

which has

been

taken credit for in FSAR analyses.

b.

By showing that, for the measured

flow, the pressure

loss

through

the valve is

such that the valve could

only be fully open.

c.

By using

a mechanical

exerciser

which can

be observed

to move through

a full stroke.

d.

By partial

disassembly

of the valve

and

manually

moving the disc through

a full stroke.

-The inspector

noted that

a similar condition exists for OST-1315

relative to valve

1-SC-34.

The licensee

indicated that they

would review their

program relative to full flow check valve

tests

to assure

that those

valves are tested

consisted with the

NRR position

as stated

in the January

3,

1983 letter.

Pending

NRC review of the licensee's

actions

relative to the

above

issue, this matter will be identified as inspector followup item

50-400/87-39-01:

"Full Flow Testing of Check Valves."

(2)

Procedure

No. ISI-203,

Rev. 3,

on page

4 of 259 states

in part

that "Valve Stroke Direction:

Valves will be stroked

and timed

in their Safety-Related direction(s)."

Valve 1-SI-86 is stroked

and timed from closed to open in OST-1106

and open to closed in

OST-1028.

The licensee

indicated that they would review the

valve

program to assure

that valves are'tested

in a direction

consistent with the commitment in ISI-203.

(3)

Procedures

OST-1216

and

1106

reference

CPSL

letter

SHH10/14506101

MS-850167

(o)

dated

December

9,

1985,

which

states

in part:

"Increase-Test-Frequency-

This limit on

stroke

time

is

specified

by Section XI.

If a

valve

stroke

time

exceeds

this

value the test

frequency will be

doubled until corrective action is

taken."

The

above is not consistent

with

ASNE

B&PV Code

Section

XI

paragraph

IWV-3417 which requires test frequency,

when required

to be increased,

be increased

to once each

month instead of once

each

month and

a half.

The inspector

was

unable

to identify any examples

where test

frequency

increase

was actually necessitated

because

repairs to

valves

were

made within one

month of the identification of an

unacceptable

increase

in stroke time test results.

The licensee

indicated

that

they

would

review their

program

and

make

necessary

changes

to assure

that increased

frequency testing,

when required,

would be consisted

with the applicable

sections

of the code.

(4)

The inspector

noted that procedure

Nos.

OST-1315

and OST-1215,

produce

records

attesting

to

exercise

testing

of valve

No.

1-SC-34

by inference only.

The

same is true for procedure

No. OST-1103 for the

IWV-3300 testing of valve

No. 1-CC-128.

The licensee

indicated that they would review the valve test

procedures

relative to record clarity and

make

any necessary

changes.

Within the areas

examined,

no violations or deviations

were identified.
