APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Philadelphia Electric Company Docket No. 50-277/278 Based on the results of the NRC inspection conducted on August 29-31, 1979, it appears that certain of your activities were not conducted in full cmpliance with conditions of your NRC Facility License No. DPR-44/56 as indicated below. This item is an infraction.
10 CFR 50.55 a(g)(4) states, in part, that: "Throughout the service life of a... nuclear power facility, components... shall meet the requirements... set forth in Section XI of editions of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code..."
Section XI of the ASitF B&PV Code, paragraph IWP-3100, Inservice Test Procedure, states, i' crt, that:
"An inservice test shall be conducted with the punp operating...
at a speed adjusted to the reference speed for variable speed drives."
"In variable resistance systems, the resistance of the system shall be varied until either the measured differential pressure or the measured flow rate shall equal the corresponding reference val ue. "
" Test quantities shown in Table IWP-3100-1 shall then be measured."
"Each measured test quantity shall then be compared to the reference value of the same quantity. Any deviations detennined shall be compared to the limits given in Table IWP-3100-2..."
Section XI of the ASME B&PV Code, paragraph IWP-3500, Duration of Tests, states, in part, that:
... each punp shall be run for at least five minutes under conditions as stable as the system pennits.
At the end of this time... measursent... of each of the quantities specified shall be made and recorded."
Contrary to the above specific requirments, as of August 31, 1979, required surveillance tests were perfonned using procedures which did not confonn to Section XI of "a ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.
Test records reviewed indicc a.
that the latest surveillance tests perfonned using procedures 5.5, 6.7, and 6.11 were July 25, 1979, Aug ust 29, 1979, and August w,1979, respectively.
Details are as follows:
The High Pressure Coolant Injection and Reactor Core Isolation Cooling Punps have variable speed drives and Surveillance Test Procedures ST-6.5 and 6.11 do not establish a reference speed as required by IWP-3100.
s o o n 280&o3
Appendix A 2
The HPCI, RCIC, and Core Spray are variable resistance systems and Surveillance Test Procedures ST-6.5, 6.11 and 6.7 do not specify that the resistance be varied to equal an established reference value for differential pressure or flow rate as required by IWP-3100. Additionally, these Surveillance Test Procedures do not identify all test quantities to be measured and evaluated or establish reference values for comparison as required by Tables IWP-3100-1 and IWP-3100-2.
None of the following monthly pump surveillance test procedures specifies a minimum run time of five minutes as required by IWP-3500.
(ST-6.1,3,6,7,8,9,10,11,and13.21).
