(d) Technical Specifications, Section 4

The inspector reviewed the licensee surveillance testing and calibation

control program required by references (a) through (d) to verify that the

program had been established in accordance with regulatory requirements,

industry guides and standards, and Technical Specifications.

The following

!

l

criteria were used during this review to determine the overall acceptability

of the established program:

-

A master schedule for surveillance testing and calibration delineated

!

test frequency, current status, and responsibilities for performance.

1

l

-

The naster schedule reflected the latest revisions of the Technical

j

Specifications and operating license.

-

Responsibilities were assigned to maintain the master schedule

j

up-to-date and to ensure that required tests are performed.

l

Detailed procedures.with appropriate acceptance criteria were approved

-

i

for all surveillance testing requirements.

j

The program defined responsibilities for the evaluation of surveillance

-

test data as well as the method of reporting deficiencies and

'

malfunctions.

l

The inspector also verified that similar controls were established for

calibrating instruments used to verify safety functions but not specifically

1

identified in the Technical Specifications (TS). The documents listed below

were reviewed to verify that these criteria were incorporated into the
