Inspection Summary: Inspection on January 11-21,1988 (Inspection Report

No. 50-213/88-01)

Areas Inspected: Routine announced inspection of the Inservice Test program,

which included review of procedures, witnessing of test and interviewing test

personnel.

Results: One violation and one unresolved item was identified. Failure to

reco W opening time for the Service Water Isolation Valve SW-A0V-129 resulted

in the violation. Completion of Surveillance Procedure improvement program

is the subject of the unresolved item. The inspector noted that the IST pro-

cedures are very confusing to the test personnel. The Quality Assurance

department was not adequately involved to identify and correct problems in the

IST area.

2.0 Inservice Testing (IST) Program for Pumps and Valves

2.1 Scope of Review

The inspector reviewed the licensee's IST program implementation to l

ascertain compliance with 10 CFR 50.55a(g) which requires Inservice

Testing (IST) of pumps and valves in accordance with Section XI of

the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. A major portion of this

review was an evaluation of the licensee's IST prograrr with respect

j to procedures, conduct of test and analysis of results.

2.2 Procedure Review

The inspector reviewed the surveillance p.ocedures listed in

Appendix A for technical adequacy and to ascertain compliance with

requirements of Technical Specifications, Section XI of the ASME

Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, and 10 CFR 50.55a. During the

review process the inspector noted that the surveillance procedures

were not clearly written. The inspector identified such concerns as

mislabeled valves, and confusing terminology for the test personnel

to follow. Parts of the surveillance procedures were written to

allow test personnel to enter test data easily and parts were written

such that data were omitted (see Secti M 2.3). The licensee ack-

nowledged the inspector's concerns and stated that they are imple-

menting a surveillar.ce procedure improvement program to review all

the procedures and improve them as needed. This item is unresolved

pending completion of the improvement program. (UNR 50-213/88-01-01),

2.3 Test Witnessing

On January 12, 1988, the inspector witnessed the surveillance test of

Service Water Isolation Valves SW-A0V-129, SW-A0V-130, SW-A0V-8, and

SW-A0V-9. The test was being conducted with approved procedures

No. SUR 5.7-67 Inservice Inspection of Service Water Isolation Valves

SW-A0V-129, SW-A0V-130, SW-A0V-8 and SW-A0V-9, Revision 8,

April 22, 1987. The inspector observed the performance of the test

to ascertain that the prerequisites were met, the proper precautions

were taken, the instrumentation used for the test had the required

calibration stickers and the personnel involved in performing the

test were knowledgeable of the procedure and its requirements. The

inspector noted during the performance of the test that the personnel

performing the test did not comply with the procedure in that they

did not enter the opening time for SW-A0V-129. The test personnel

initialed the step and continued on with the test without properly

recording the data as required. This is in violation of the licensee's

Technical Specifications 6.8.1 which states in part that written

procedures shall be established, implemented and maintained that meet

or exceed the requirements and recommendations of Sections 5.1 and 5.3

of ANSI N18.7-1976 and Appendix "A" of USAEC Regulatory Guide 1.33

(50-213/88-01-02).

2.4 IST Results Evaluation

Tho inspector reviewe d iadividual data Sheets and trend charts for a

sample of the tests listec in Appendix A. All the data were analyzed

by the responsible personnel within two days of the test. Thr. in-

spector ncted several problems with documentation. The licensee

agreed to include this in their procedure enhancement program. The

inspector had no further questions,

l

3.0 QA/QC Involvement i

During the review of the IST program, the inspector interviewed the QA j

department personnel to determine their involvement with the program. The i

inspector noted that QA does a very limited review of the IST procedures.

In regard to test witnessing, QA had limited involvement (two tests in the

past year). The QA department has agreed to plan increase coverage of I

this area. The inspector had no further questions at this time. l

4.0 Review of Third Ten-Year Interval Inservice Test (IST) Program Submittal

A working meeting was held onsite on January 13, 1988 to discuss questions

and cor.ments resulting from the NRC review of the licensee's IST Program

Submittal. The questions and comments that served as the agenda for the

meeting and the response to those questions and comments are documented

separately in the meeting minutes.

.

The licensee representatives were given a brief introduction outlining the

agenda and the methods used for documentation of the questions and

responses. The introduction was followed by detailed discussions of the

specific IJRC questions and comments regarding the IST submittal. The

discussions resulted in eight open items for the licensee and twenty-three

items that will be corrected in their revised submittal.

The licensee was requested to provide the Region I office with the

required information necessary to resolve the open items and to also

ensure that their revised submittal incorporated all of the resolutions

of the items discussed in the meeting minutes.

5.0 Exit Meeting

A meeting was held on January 21, 1988 to discuss the scope and findings

of the inspection as delineated in this report with licensee representa-

tion denoted in Paragraph 1. At no time during this inspection was

written information provided to the licensee. The licensee representatives

did not indicate that this inspection involved any proprietary information.
