5. Restart Test Program Review (70301)

Background TVA submitted to the NRC by letter, dated August 28, 1986, Volume 3, TVA's Nuclear Performance Plan for Browns Ferry Nuclear Plants (BFNP). This document describes the short and long term recovery actions as they relate to the restart of BFNP. Volume 3,Section III 8.0, entitled Restart Test Program outlines the basic approach which will be taken to ensure that plant systems are capable of meeting their operability and safety require-ments. A restart test program is primarily required due to long term plant shutdown. and extensive modifications to system both in the present outage and in the past. The major elements from which the restart test program will be developed consists of:

-

Establishing a program to control test performance and to document test result Developing system of test specifications for plant system Reviewing past and future system tests to identify any additional test requirement Developing special test procedures based on system test specification Pestart Test Program Plan TVA issued a restart test program plan (RTP-Plan) for BF Unit 2. The RTP-Plan was submitted by letter, dated October 7, 1986, to the NR The RTP-Plan describes in detail three basic areas: The development of system test specification, (STS) system status punchlist and outage system turnover packages. The STS is a basic document to be used to arrive at what the test requirements will be for a given system. Test Engineers and System Engineers list and review such items as: system design specification, system as built design, system modifications, technical specification requirements, testing specified by design baseline evaluation program, review of maintenance, testing, and operating history, evaluation of ECNs, NCRs, DRs, CARS, et Following this review, the STS will show the required testing such as surveillance test (SI) post modification test and additional test as a result of the detailed review conducted on the syste For the additional testing identified, a special test procedure will be writte , . .

.. ,.

The RTP-Plan provides a list of designated systems for which an STS will be written. In addition, RTP-Plan requires that all open items on a system will be effectively tracked by establishing a " system status punchlist," also an " outage system turnover package" will be developed. This package would be given to operations upon completion of system testin The inspector identified the following comments concerning the RTP-Pla (1) Provide the documentation and the bases that will be used for declaring systems operable that:

-

will not be included in the Restart Test Program Plan

-

will not have a system test specification developed

-

receive minimal or no testing (2)Section II A lists plant systems for which test specifications will be written but do not include ECCS initiation signals or the automatic depressurization system (ADS). Provid justifications for these issue (3) The establishment of those administrative controls which will be used to conduct the test program and document test results are not defined in the RTP plan. Where will the attributes that are specifically germain to a test program be defined? Examples of these are:

-

test organization

-

program for reviewing and approving test documents and test results

-

interface between licensee organization

-

controls for handling test interruptions, test discre-pancies, corrective actions, and test requirements

-

existing plant administrative controls that will be applicable to the restart test program

-

controls for scheduling test activities The above comments have been submitted to TVA by letter from TVA Projects, NRC Region II, dated March 3, 1987.

The inspector also noted during the inspection that existing plant implementing procedures for the restart test program do not provide methods for handling system status punchlist and outage system turnover packages as described in the RTP-Pla This area is identified as IFI 259, 260, 296/87-12-01, Incorporate into Plant Procedures RTP-Plan Requirements for:

System Status Punchlist and Outage System Turnover Packages, b. Restart Test Program Implementing Procedure The licensee has issued and approved SDSP 12.1, Restart Test Progra This procedure describes those administrative controls for conducting testing activities throughout the restart test phase. The inspector reviewed the licensee administrative controls identified in SDSP 1 to the requirements specified in 10 CFR 50, Appendix B as implemented by BFNP approved QA program and ANSI 18.7, QA for the Operation Phase of Nuclear Power Plant The review of SDSP 12.1 resulted in identi fying the following Inspector Followup Item: IFI 259, 260, 296/87-12-02, Correct Deficiencies in SDSP 12.1, Restart Test Program as.follows:

-

provide restart test group organization chart

-

document qualifications of test engineers and test directors

-

establish on going training for the restart test group

-

establish methods to ensure latest test procedure revision and changes are being used

-

establish controls which require RTP group approval prior to conducting work on a' system under test and remain in effect through outage system turnover package to operation Within the areas inspected, no violations or deviations were identified.
