Preoperational Turnover Controls

,,

The inspector verified implementation of return to construction (turnback)

activities on the Residual Heat Removal (RH) System per SU.PRP.04, Punch-

list Item completion and Maintenance in Turned Over and Non-Turned Over

Areas. This inspection included a detailed procedure review, interviews

with cognizant personnel, review of turnback logs and files, and veriri-

cation of documentation completeness for selected RH system turnbacks.

a.

Findings

(1) Turnback records and files reviewed appeared to be well kept and

complete.

(2)

Section 3 of form PoJ/-04-2 hat space identified as "QA/QC Documen-

tation Complete" which is no longer required by procedure and

should be deleted. This was discussed with the turnover groue

supervisor who indicated that this deletion would be included in

the next revision of SU.PRP.04.

No items of noncompliance or deviations were noted.

Preoperational Testing Observation

The inspectors observed the performance of Control Rod Drive Hydraulic

Preoperational Test, P0.RD.02, Revision 04.

They attempted to verify

procedural controls were being followed, instruments used te record

acceptanc criteria were properly calibrated, and required orerequisites

were comp .ted.

Findings

(1)' The following are^ examplas of inadequate testing controls during

'the performance of Preoperational Test P0.RD.02.

(b)

A note after step 7.4.2.6, which required that valve IC11-

D001-F107 he lef t closed, was not followed and when per-

forming step 7.4.2.7 water was blown out of the above valve

onto the floor and personnel performing test.

(c)

A note after step 7.4.2 requires the completion of testing

through Section 7.4.1 with the exception of Sections 7.1.2,

7.2.6 and 7.3.1 as a prerequisite, but upon review of "Of fi-

cial Copy" of the Preoperational Test Section 7.4.1 was not

verified as completed and step 7.4.2 was being performed.

Also, step 7.4.1.54 of Section 7.4.1 was not verified as

being completed.

(d)

A recorder (1C11-R611) used for recording the acceptance

criteria of buffer assembly settle time was 9 months past

due for calibration.

As stated before, the above are examples of inadequate testing

controls and are considered to be in violation of 10 CFR SC

. Appendix B, Criterion XI; CG&E FSAR Section 14.1.1.2, which states

in part that all preoperational and initial startup tests will be

conducted in accordance with approved written test procedures,

administrative controls and supporting administrative procedures;

and the implementing administrative control procedure SU.ACP.05.
