Change to the Initial Test Program File: 86-056-026
Dear Mr. Martin:
In accordance with License NPF-41 condition 2.C.(5) and License NPF-51 condition 2.C.(5), ANPP is submitting a change to Chapter 14 of the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR). Attached are marked-up FSAR pages of the change.
This change modifies the organization and makes administrative changes, so as to accurately reflect the start-up program. Start-up testing will still have administrative controls. The organization has been changed to better suit the start-up of Unit 3. Fhny of the changes are editorial in nature.
After completion of a Safety Review and Evaluation, according to 10 CFR 50.59, ANPP has determined that this change does not introduce an unreviewed safety question. It does not affect the amount or type of testing. No equipment impor-tant to safety will be affected. The margin of safety as discussed in the Tech-nical Specifications will not be reduced since this prerequisite is not discussed as a basis. The change does not affect the quality of testing.
If you have any further questions concerning this matter, please contact Mr.
William Quinn of my staff.
Very truly yours, r-8606060151 860521 PDR ADOCK 05000528 m

SUMMARY
OF TEST PROGRAM AND OBJECTIVES 14.2.1.1 Summary of the Startup Test Program The Startup Test Program includes ";esting activiti o UmN e.e mpleAiest.anrrfer-f-r+om construction d ending l13 commencing with s%[te o
8 y with the completion of the power ascension testing.
This test program demonstrates that components and systems operate in accordance with design requirements and meet the requirements of 10CFR50, Appendix B, Criterion XI.
The Startup Test Program l8 results confirm that performance levels meet the operational l12 M
safety requirements delineated in the FSAR, and verify the l8 adequacy of component and system design and system operability over the operating range of the system.
It also aids in the 12 establishment of baseline performance data and serves to verify l
that normal operating procedures and emergency procedures accom-l2 m
plish their intended purposes.
The Startup Test Program consists
)
of Prerequisite Testing plus the following four phases:
j10 Phase I Preoperational Testing l4 Phase II Fuel Loading and Post Core Hot Functional Testing 4
Phase III Initial Criticality and Low Power Physics Testing Phase IV Power Ascension Testing The Administrative Controls established for use during the 12 Startup Program are contained in the Station Manual.
14.2.1.1.1 Prerequisite Testing Prerequisite Testing consists of tests and inspections required 8
to assure construction is complete and that systems are ready for Phase I Testing.

Tests that require a substantial core power level for prcper performance are performed at the lowest power level commensurate with obtaining acceptable test data.
Safety-related systems are tested to provide reasonable assurance that they operate satisfactorily when required, prior to exceeding 25% of rated thermal power.
