Inspection Summary

Inspection on March 9-13, 1981 (Report No. 50-346/81-05)

Areas Inspected:

Surveillance procedures, surveillance activities; Inser-

vice test procedures and activities for pumps and valves. The inspection

involved.a total of 59 inspector-hours by the NRC inspector; 24 inspector-

hours inoffice, and 35 inspector-hours onsite including zero inspector-hours

offshifts.

Results: Of the three areas inspected, two apparent items of noncompliance

were identified; failure of certain inservice pump test instrumentation to

meet range and/or accuracy requirements (Paragraph 2c); failure to measure

pump inlet pressure before pump startup and establish reference values for

inlet pressure for inservice testing of containment spray pumps.

Surveillance

a.

Procedures

The inspector reviewed several surveillance test procedures used

to satisfy Technical Specification surveillance requirements to

ascertain whether or not these procedures received proper review

and approval; that these procedures contained adequate preparation

or prerequisites; included acceptance criteria consistent with

Technical Specification requirements, and provided for system

restoration following testing.

In addition, the inspector applied

NUREG/CR 1368, " Development of a Checklist for Evaluating Mainten-

ance, Test, and Calibration Procedures Used in Nuclear Power

Plants" to all procedures except ST 5062.01. Comments were pro-

vided to the licensee during the exit interview. The following

procedures were examined:

ST 5083.01

ST 5011.02

ST 5041.02

ST 5062.01

ST 5051.10

No items of noncompliance were identified.

b.

Completed Surveillances

Completed surveillances were examined to determine that they were

performed at the required periodicity; that results were properly

reviewed; that action was taken, as required by Technical Specifi-

cations when acceptance criteria were not met; and that other

deficiencies were identified and corrected.

The review included

samples of the following completed surveillances performed over

a nine month period, from June 1980 through February 1981:

ST 5011.01

ST 5099.01

ST 5031.14

ST 5043.01

ST 5051.06

ST 5074.01

ST 5083.01

No items of noncompliance were identified.

c.

Inservice / Operability Testing Program - Pumps

The inspector reviewed the licensee's inservice testing program

for pumps to verify compliance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(g) and Technical Specification 4.0.5.

Pump test records

indicated that pumps were being tested at the required frequency,

using properly approved procedures, and in accordance with the

test methods of ASME Section XI, Article IWP-3000. The testing

of the containment spray pumps did not include the. measurement

of pump inlet pressure before pump startup, nor were reference

values established for pump in12t pressure as required by para-

graphs IWP 3100 and IWP 3110, respectively. The inspector noted

that the omission of these two elements from pump testing was a

result of deficiencies in the test procedure used for the testing

of containment spray pumps only. This is an item of noncompliance

identified in Appendix A (50-346/81-05-01).

The inspector reviewed calibration records of several instruments

used in pump testing to verify compliance with the requirements

of ASME Section XI, Article IWP 4000, paragraphs 4110 and 4111

which are reproduced here.

"IWP-4100 INSTRUMENTS

IWP-4110 QUALITY

All instruments shall have nominal errors within limits shown in

Table WP-4110-1.

shall be acceptable.

  • Denotes instrument characteristic not meeting requirements

The inspector emphasized that his findings were based on a limited

review of inservice pump test instrumentation and that the licensee

1

should determine whether or not other instruments are being used that

do not meet these requirements.

This is an item of noncompliance identified in Appendix A (50-346/81-05-02).

d.

Inservice / Operability Testing Program - Valves

The inspector reviewed the licensee's valve testing program to

verify compliance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(g) and

T.S. 4.0.5.

Examination of the licensee's approved ISI valve

test program, status summaries and several test procedures

revealed that the licensee has performed tests at the required

frequencies against appropriate acceptance criteria.
