In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG 1600, the violation is listed below:

l Appendix B of 10 CFR Part 50, Critorion XI, " Test Control," requires, in part, "A test program shall be established . . . and performed in accordance with written test procedures which incorporate the requirements and acceptance limits contained in

! applicable design documents."

! Technical Specification 4.5.8.1.b, the residual heat removal service water pump surveillance requirement to produce 3500 gom against a pressure of 198 psig, was relocated to the licensee's inservice testing program as part of the licensee's technical specification upgrade program.

Contrary to the above, as of August 6,1997, the requirements and acceptance limits contained in design documents for the residual heat removal service water pumps were not incorporated into the written test procedures.
