SUMMARY
OF ITEMS.T0 BE ADDRESSED BY CRGR j
AGENDA ITEM #1 (STH ftEETING, 1/13/82) l IDErlTIFICATION:
DESCRIPTION:
Preoperational Testing of Instrument Air and Control Air Systems (Applies to all air systems that supply) air to loads that are
.l important to safety.
OBJECTIVE:
Sets forth Guidance on testing methods acceptable to NRC staff for OL's i.e.
o Preoperational testing for instrument and control air systems to demonstrate operability 4
for service and the response or interactions resulting from simulated loss of air and air overpressure transients.
j o Testing to be conducted to terify air system performance after major modification and repair or where the systems may have been subjected to l
contamination.
BACKGROUND:
o R.G. 1.68.3 is intended to update and replace R.G.1.80 that covered only the instrument air systems.
o R.G. 1.68.3 is expanded in scope beyond R.G.
l.80 and now includes (1) testing of control air and the instrument air systems, (2) additional tasts to simulate the loss of air
~
and air overpressure transients.
o R.G.1.6.3 deletes several of the positions previously in.R.G. 1.80 that experience showed to be impractical.
l BASIS:
10CFR50 1.e.
o GDCr#1, Quality Standards and Records, Appendix l
~'
.A.
o Criterion XI, Test Control, Appendix B.
o Could be issued in about 1 month with CRGR concurrence (DEDR0GR staff est.)
o Is not being used by staff in latest SRP -
Referenced in Section 9.3.1 (July 1981).
o Has been in preparation and concurrence chain for nearly 3 years.

KEY ISSUES U A.
TECHNICAL l.
Need for additional testing as called for in Position #11 may be the most costly aspect in R.G.1.68.3.
Its implementation may require special test equipment. -The je 4
need and net benefits of this position is U
not clear to the DEDR0GR staff.
E Identified by DEDR0GR Staff Review.
a.
2.
Preoperational testing of the type specified in R.G.1.68.3 will not necessarily be of large benefit'to the types of air system failurs actually b'eing experienced when plants are in operation.
(See NRR Technical Assistance Work: ORNL/NSIC - Draft, Nov. 13, 1981, Compressed - Air and Backup Nitrogen Systems, NRC FIN No.
]
B0755.)
j 3.
It is unclear that position #10 will yield significant benefits or realistic results unless large air loads are actually to be tested under intended plant operations as opposed to startup conditions.
B.
COSTS:
Total cost implications of R.G.1.68.3 are not specified but these could easily fall into 75K to 150K rarge. The
(
Safety benefits relative to these costs are unclear.
C.
IMPLEMENTATION:
The extent to which all of the R.G.
i 1.68.3. preoperational testing would be j
expected to apply when the plant is in operation following major repair to air systems is unclear.
RECOMMENDATIONS / COMMENTS TO CRGR Approve issurance to R.G. 1.68.3 for 0.L. use subject'to a satisfactory resolution of the above issues being demonstrated to CRGR.
