Subsequent to.this occurrence, TRC meeting 85-01 ' and PORC meeting 85-19 officially reviewed'and approved the i-resolution'of TER-22 which revised the pipe expansion _ Level 1 _ , acceptance criteria from 200 mils to 385 mila for all test ' - ,

temperatures. - TER-22 was officially and properly closed on' ~ ' - February-15,01985.

, TER-29 incorrectly documented a~ failure to meet a Level 1 ' acceptance' criteria;during-implementation of STP-17.3 at 920 E psig.~ Since this failure had'previously-been documented:by TER-22 at 450. Degrees F and a. revised, acceptance' criterion had 'been provided, Shif t" test personnel; considered its resolution ' toialso apply to performance'of STP-17.3 at 920 psig.

Section - 5.4.4.1.a.1 of procedure A-202 permits a TER to apply to more .than one subtest if the same acceptance criteriaois affected in eachfof the subtests.

During final review and approval of TER-223the* TRC; and PORC agreed that'it also applied to the performance'of4STP-17.3 at rated-reactor temperature and _ . documented that' conclusion., Accordingly,- reference to a Level' , 1 acceptance criterion failure in TER-29 was deleted.

The , - remaining Level 2 acceptance criterion failures in TER-29 were ' - ' reviewed and their resolution to.ac} cept "as is" was approved by g the.TRC on April 24, 1985.

, Inabditiontotheactionsalreadydescribed, a training > session was conducted to familiarize Startup Group test -

personnel with'these events to prevent similar administrative

. problems in the future.

Specifically, the objectives were: 1) ' ensure all test personnel understood the actual. events; 2) ~ ~ discuss the various interpretations of, administrative requirements relevant to the events: 3) provide specific directions on how to administratively comply with similar , + 1 events in the' futurer and 4) prov'ide additional! guidance to test program personnel on. test implementation and processing of test'results.

. Further' improvements have been achieved by, setting goals for .more timely review of T,ER(s) by the TRC and'PORC.

On< March 13,

1985, during'the exit' meeting for NRC-inspection 352/85-14, the ~ " ' ' inspector reported that much. improvement has been achieved .

regarding administrative controls for the startup test program ' , _ implementation'and~ test results review.

' . Administrative Procedure requirements for TER(s) 22 and 29 have ' , been completed satisfactorily and full compliance.with Administrative Procedure A-202 has been achieved.
