SUBJECT:
INSPECTION OF COMANCHE PEAK DESIGN VALIDATION PROGRAM:
50-445/87-19,50-446/87-15
Dear. Mr. Counsil:
This letter forwards the results of the subject inspection conducted by the
NRC's Office of Special Projects. The inspection team was comprised of
personnel from the Office of Special Projects as well as contractors. The
inspection took place from August 3 to September 3, 1987 at Stone and Webster
offices in Boston and Cherry Hill and at Ebasco offices in New York. The
team broadly reviewed the TU Electric Design Validation Program (DVP) in the
areas of mechanical systems, civil / structural, electrical, and instrumentation /
v
controls. This review included some documents which were also in the Engineering
Functional Evaluation (EFE) review scope in order to assess the effectiveness
of EFE in identifying problems.
As described in the Summary of Results and summaries for each of the technical
areas, the team generally found the DVP effort comprehensive and effective,
particularly with respect to the use of Design Basis Documents to prescribe
design criteria and methodology and the tracking system to ensure confirmation
of data. However, specific problems were noted in these areas. Furthermore,
the team identified technical Open Items in cases where it considered that
additional justification and/or analysis was necessary to confirm existing
designs or_ hardware. Our final conclusions will be based on a followup
inspection which will include resolving Open Items from this inspection and
reviewing areas of design validation and EFE efforts that were not complete at
the time of this inspection.
En this regard, attention should be given to the
Open Items identified in the report, and you should be prepared to address
these items in our followup inspection which is scheduled to begin October 26,
1987.
A pendices A through E of the report provide resolution of Open Items from
four previous NRC inspections of the CPRT Design Adequacy Program and
a
b NUREG-0797, Supplement No. 13, Appendix C, Design Adequacy Program.
