methodology and implementation. Several of these problems involved breakdowns in the I&C mechanical systems interface, e.g., I&C engineers sometimes had an inadequate understanding of process variables or systems functions. In some cases, there was inadequate interaction between engineering and field ( SSFI

' personnel. This inspection experience has demonstrated the need for an type inspection (system focus) with added emphasis on instrumentation and , ,

control systems and their relation to functionality of the accident mitigation system. This inspection is to be performed in accordance with Inspection Procedure 93807. ' i OBJECTIVE The objective of this task order is to obtain expert technical assistance (two i instrumentation and control design engineers) to assist the NRC inspection team in the performance of the Systems Based Instrumentation and Control Inspection. Other team members will be expert in the areas of I&C design, mechanical systems design and field matters involving installation, testing, operations, and surveillance. The contractor's specialists shall be .

i thoroughly familiar with the design requirements of NSSS vendor supplied I&C systems used as part of the reactor protection system in commercial U.S.

reactors. The contractor's specialists shall also be familiar with Regulatory .

Guide 1.105 requirements, setpoint methodology and its relationship to systems

' design, NRC inspection techniques, standard U. S. nucler.r industry design practices and regulatory requirements, and have desicr. experience at an architect engineering firm or NSSS supplier (preferably Westinghouse).

SYSTEMS BASED INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL INSPECTION PROGRAM APPLICABILITY: 2515 SALP FUNCTIONAL AREA: ENGINEERING / TECHNICAL SUPPORT (SOETS-0) 93807 INSPECTION OBJECTIVES The objective of the System Based Instrumentation and Control Inspection (SBICI) is to verify the functionality of safety systems by inspecting performance related attributes of the safety system with a focus on its associated instrumentation and control.

• 93807-02 INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS 02.01 Insoection Plannino. The team leader shall develop an inspection plan to address the background information on the plant relative to this inspection, the'  ;

basis for selecting the system (s) for inspection, the selected instrumentation, the assignment of individual team members to specific areas, and the sch'edule. )

.l 02.02 Selection of Instrumentation. The team leader, assisted by the mechanical _ i system design engineer, and one I&C design engineer, should review a currut plant. specific probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) and plant experience _to identify the dominant accident sequences that contribute significantly to core damage. Two or three systems whose failure could affect these accident sequences should be selected, and about 10 to 12 instrument loops in these systems that ,

initiate and control protective actions for accident mitigation should then be j identified for inspection. A review of applicable experience reports may be i helpful in identifying specific instrument loops within the selected systems. )
