Mr. R.P. Denise

.KMLNRC 84-190 October 25, 1984 Contrary to the above, step 7.2.1 of preoperational test SU3-bJ3 was not properly followed. Test personnel performed steps not stated in step 7.2.1, i.e., measurement of the closed /open stroke time, performing a fail safe test, and recorded data in Appendix F.

It was later realized by the licensee that timed stroke measure-ments were required later in the test procedure under dynamic conditions. The test personnel then lined through all entries, then recorded fail safe test accomplishment incorrectly in test failed

_ data sheet of the test procedure.

ADM 14-200 also requires,'in part, that.

"After all approvals, the 'ICN is sequentially numbered, and entered on the Test Change Notice Iog."

Contrary to the above while performing preoperation test SU3-BG03 test change notice (TCN) 004 was not recorded in the TCN log.

ADM 14-200 also requires, in part, that, ".

. Preoperational test procedures may require modification.

. These modifications may be accomplished in.

. the following way (a) test change notices.

Contrary to the above, a test discrepancy was corrected in pre-operational test SU3-BG03 by inserting a second verifiction/

witness signature without pocessing a test change notice. Further, this discrepancy was not entered in the test chronological log.

Responses a) Corrective steps which have been taken and results achieved:

On October 15,1984, at 1200 hours0.0139 days <br />0.333 hours <br />0.00198 weeks <br />4.566e-4 months <br /> a late entry was made in the Chronological Test Log for SU3-BG03, Revision 2.

This entry describes the sequence of events and documents the actions taken to delete the data taken during static conditions and to record the proper data taken under dynamic conditions.

Test Change Notice 004 to SU3-BG03 was sequentially recorded in the Test Change Notice Iag.

Test Discrepancy No. 009 was issued for step 7.2.13.14 of SU3-BG03 to document the insertion of a second veri-fication/ witness signature. Test Change Notice No. 005 to SU3-BG03 was issued to add the second signature witness line in step 7.2.13.14 resolving Test Discrepancy No. 009. A late entry was entered in the Chronological

~.
