SUMMARY
OF TEST PROGRAM AND OBJECTIVES The purpose of the test program for Comanche Peak Steam Electric DRAFT Station (CPSES) is to assure that the installed station structures, systems and components will be subjected to tests as required to verify that the plant has been properly designed and constructed and is ready to operate in a manner that wi11 not endanger the health and safety of the public, and to provide assurance of total plant reliability for opera' ion. The test program will also ensure that the procedures for opei ating the plant safely have been evaluated and demonstrated, and that he operating organization is knowledgeable about the plant and procedures and is prepared to safely operate the facility.
The necessary procedures to control, implement, and document the test DRAFT program are established by plant procedures and summarized in the following sections. TU Electric, as the applicant, has responsibility for overall direction and management of the test program.
The testing activities to be performed on safety-related cystems at 11 the CPSES are divided into three stjor phases: prerequisite testing, preoperational testing and initial startup testing. Prerequisite testing will be conducted in order to verify the integrity, proper installation, cleanliness, and functional . operability of the system components.
O Preoperational testing will be performed in order to demonstrate the capability of systems, structures, and components to meet safety-related performance requirements. These tests will be performed on plant systems, structures, and components that are designed to perform i
14.2-1 Draft Version ,
I
Enclosure to TXX-89557-Page 3 of 94 CPSES/FSAR ,
57 a nuclear safety-related function. These include those systems and components which are identified as quality related items in Table 17A-1 of FSAR Section 17A. In addition, systems and components which have applicable testing requirements specified in Regulatory Guide 1.68 and discussed in Appendix 1A(B) will be subjected to 11 preoperational tests. Summaries of individual preoperational tests are provided in Section 14.2.12.
54 Preoperational testing will be completed prior to fuel load with
, certain limited exceptions where tests or parts of tests will be daferred to the Initial Startup Test Program. Such an exception is the complete testing of the control rod drive mechanisms with the rods attached. In such cases sufficient tests will be performed prior to fuel loading to. provide reasonable assurance that the post-loading tests will be successful.
54 Initial startup tests will be performed beginning with activities leading to fuel loading and ending with full power operation. The intent of these tests is to assure that tests deferred from the preoperational test program are performed: tMt fuel loading is effected in a safe manner: that the plant is st'ely brought to rated capacity: that plant performance is satisfactory in terms of established design criteria: and to demonstrate, where practical, thct the plant is capable of withstanding anticipated transients and postula nd accidents. Testing activities related to fuel load and i ni ti a~a criticality are described in Section 14.2.10. Initial startup tests including lower power physics testing and power ascension testing are deteribed in the test summaries provided in Section 14.2.12.
For systems and components which have no naclear safety-related requirements, acceptance testing will be performed to verify proper system performance and to ensure reliable and efficient operation of DRAFT the plant.
Draft Version 14.2-2
Enclosure to TXX-89557 Page 4 of 94 CPSES/FSAR Preoperational and initial startup tests will be conducted in accordance with approved test procedures. Review, approval, and DRAFT revision of test procedures and the evaluation and disposition of test
. results will be accomplished by methcds specified in the appropriate administrative procedures and summarized in Section 14.2.3.
The startup program will utilize, to the extent practical, operations personnel and operating procedures to provids familiarization with the plant installation and demonstrate the adequacy of operating procedures.
Preoperational testing activities will be coordinated through a Joint DRAFT Test Group (JTG), as descr'hed in Section 14.2.2.6. Initial startup testing detivities will be coordinated through a Test Review Group (TRG), as described in Section 14.2.2.7.

The operating experience program'will consist of an initial review.to be. administered prior to conducting preoperational tests and an ongoing review during the remainder of the-test program. The initial
! review will examine all pertinent operating data and' abnormal events on similar plants which occurred during a period of two years prior to the review. The review will be conducted so as to allow sufficient time for data to be analyzed and incorporated in test procedures. Any new information will be reviewed on a regular basis during the test p -
program so as to address current testing problems.
Additionally, testing and operating experience gained from Unit I will be incorporated into the Unit 2 test program.
14.2.9 TRIAL USE OF PLANT OPERATING AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES The plant operating, emergency, and surveillance procedures will be use-tested during the test program and will also be used in the development of preoperetional arid initial startup prncedures to the extent practical. The trial use of operating procedures serves to familiarize operating personnel with systems and plant operation during the testing phase and also serves to assure the adequacy of the procedures under actual or simulated operating conditions before plant operation begins.
Prior to fuel load, draft operating procedures may be utilized for equipment operation and may be informally altered to meet special test considerations.
In general the development of plant operating procedures will take place in approximately the same time frame as the preparation of preoperational and initial startup test procedures. The operating procedures will be revised as necessary to reflect experience gained during the actual testing.

14.2.10 INITIAL FUEL LOADING, CRITICALITY, AND POWER OPERATION Fuel loading will begin after the required preoperational tests are satisfactorily completed. At the completion of fuel loading, the reactor upper internals and pressure vessel head will be installed and additional mechanical and electrical tests will be performed to prepare the plant for nuclear operation. After final precriticci tests, nuclear operation of the reactor will.begin. This phase of testing includes initial criticality, low power testing and power level escalation. The purpose of these tests is to establish the
< operational characteristics of the unit and core, to acquire data for the proper calibration of setpoints, and to ensure that operation is within license requirements. Section 14.2.12.2 summarizes the tests which will be performed from initial criticality to rated power. The core loading and post loading tests are described below.

An initial nucleus of eight fuel assemblies,'one containing a neutron source, is the minimum source fuel nucleus which will permit subsequent meaningful inverse count rate monitoring. This initial nucleus is determined by calculation to be markedly subcritical (Keff10.95) under the required conditions of loading.
Each subsequent fuel addition will be accompanied by detailed neutron count rate monitoring to determine that the just-loaded fuel assembly does not excessively increase t,he count rate and that the extrapolated inverse count rate ratio is behaving as expected. These results for each loading step will be evaluated before the next fuel assembly is loaded.

-14' INITIAL TEST PROGRAN The' testing activit'fes to be performed on safety-related systems at Comanche Peak are divided into three major phases: prerequisite testing, preoperational testing, and initial startup testing. .
-Prerequisite testing will be conducted to verify the integrity, proper installa- i tion, cleanliness, and functional operability of the system components.
Preoperational testing will be performed to demonstrate the capability of systems, structures. and components to meet safety-related performance require-ments. These tests will be performed on plant systems, structures, and compo-nents that are designed to perform a nuclear safety-related function. Preopera-tional testing will be completed before fuel loading with certain limited exceptions where tests or parts of tests will be deferred until the core has been loaded. In such cases, sufficient testing will be performed before fuel loading to provide reasonable assurance that the postloading tests will be successful.
Initial startup tests will be performed beginning with fuel loading and ending with commercial operation. The intent of these tests is to ensure that fuel loading is effected in a safe manner; that the plant is safely brought to rated capacity; that plant performance is satisfactory in tems of established design criteria; and to demonstrate, where practical, that the plant is capable of withstanding anticipated transients and postulated accidents. The staff review concentrated on the administration of the test program and the complete-ness of.the prerequisite, preoperational, and startup tests. For example, the staff's Safety Evaluction Report issued at completion of the Construction Permit review (CP SER) was re examined to determine the principal design criteria for the plant and to identify any specific concerns or unique design features that would warrant special test consideration. Chapters 1 through 12 of the FSAR were reviewed for familiarization w'th the facility design and nomenclature. Chapters 13 and 17 were reviewed for familiarization with the applicant's organizational structure, qualifications, administrative controls, and quality assurance program as they apply to or impact the initial test program. Chapter 15 was reviewed to identify assumptions pertaining to perform-
'ance characteristics that should be verified by testing and to identify all structures, systems, components, and design features that were assumed to function (either explicitly or implicitly) in the accident analysis. Licensee Event Reports for operating reactors of similar design were reviewed to identify potentially serious eventa and chronic or generic problems that might warrant special test consideration. Stanatard Technical Specifications for Westinghouse PWRs were reviewed to identify all structures, systems, and components that d
would be relied upon for establishing conformance with safety limits or limiting
, conditions for operations. Finally, the Startup Test Reports for other PWR plants were reviewed to identify problem areas that should be emphasized in the Comanche Peak initial test program.
The object of the staff rev4ew 4f.FSAR Chapter 14 is to determine whether the acceptance criteria stated ir. the Standard Review Plan are met. The staff review covered several aspects of the initial test program including the following major considerations:

(1) The appliqant's organization and staff for performing the initial test i program were reviewed. The staff concludes that an adequate number of appropriately qualified personnel are assigned to develop test procedures, '
conduct the tests, and review the results of the tests. Plant staff personnel are utilized to maximize the training benefits of the test program.
(2) The applicant stated that_ the test procedures were developed using input-from the NSSS vendor the architect engineer, the applicant's en staff,andotherequipmentsuppliersandcontractorsasneeded.gineering The applicant also stated that a review of operating experiences at similar p bnts was factored into the development of the test procedures.
(3) The applicant-stated that the tests are being conducted using approved test procedures and that administrative controls cover (a) the completion
.of test prerequisites, (b) the completion of necessary data sheets and other documentation, and (c) the review and approval of modifications to test procedures. The applicant stated that administrative procedures also cover implementation of modifications or repair requirements identified as being required by the tests and any necessary retesting.
(4) The applicant stated that the results of each test are reviewed for-technical adequacy and completeness by qualified personnel, including NSSS vendor and architect engineer personnel as appropriate. Preopera-tional test results are reviewed before fuel loading, and the startup .
test results from each activity or power level will be reviewed before the next activity or power level.
(5) The applicant stated that normal plant operating and emergency procedures are used in performing the initial test program, thereb correctness of the procedures to the extent practical. y verifying the (6) The appifcant's schedule for conducting the initial test program allowed adequate time to conduct all preoperat'onal~ tests and startup tests. The sequential schedule for performing the startup tests established (a) that systems required to prevent, limit, or mitigate the consequences of postulated accidents will be tested before 255 of rated power is exceeded and (b) that the safety of the plant will not be dependent on the perfor-mance of untested systems, structures, and components. Preoperational test procedures.will be available for IE review at least 30 days before the expected performance of the test, and startu available at least 90 days before fuel loading. p test procedures will be (7) The abstract of each test procedure presented in Chapter 14 of the FSAR was reviewed.

The applicant made a number of changes to the initial test program because of the staff's comments. Examples of these changes include (1) Administrative controls were added to ensure that all test procedure modifications that alter the acceptance criteria or test intent would be appropriately reviewed.
(2) Additional (five consecutive, cold quick starts) testing of the staas-driven auxiliary foodwater pumps was added to further demonstrate system reliability.
(3) Testing to verify that the reactor cooled pipe penetration cooling system will maintain the pipe tunnel concrete temperature within design Ifmits was added.
(4) The acceptance criteria for certain preoperational and startup tests involving reactor protection system hardware instrumentation delay time, remote p ant shutdown validation, diesel generator starting requirements, snubber inspection, battery charghr capac' ty, contairrtent spray flowpath verification, sampling system flowpath and holdup, and power-operated relief valve capacities were modified. Modified acceptance criteria were required to more accurately reflect the actual test conditions and to provide assurance that system performance will be in conformance with design predictions.
(5) The minimum qualifications for personnel who direct or supervise the conduct of testing were upgraded to conform with acceptable industry standards. .
t (6) Certain system tests were expanded to ensure that comprehensive system and component testing was scheduled. Example systes included station service water, component cooling water, vent and drain, spent fuel pool cooling, residual heat Tomoval, chemical and volume control, safety inject'on, containment ventilation, diesel generator com tion, ac and de power distribution, reactor protection, rod partment control,ventila-staan generator safety and relief valves, main steam and feedwater isolat' on valves, auxiliary feedwater, pressurizer safety and relief valves, and engineered safety features.

TRIAL USE OF PLANT OPERATING AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES The plant operating, emergency, and surveillance procedures will be use-tested during the test program and will also be used in the development o,f precperational and initial startup procedures to the extent practical.
The trial use of operating procedures serves to familiarize operating personnel with systems and plant operation during the testing phase and also serves to assure the adequacy of the procedures under actual or simulated operating conditions before plant operation begins.
Prior to fuel load, draft operating procedures may be utilized for equipment operation and may be informally altered to meet special test considerations.
In general the development of plant operating procedures will take place in approximately the same time frame as the preparation of precperational and initial startup test procedures. The operating procedures will be revised as necessary to reflect experience gained during the actual testing.
During the " test r'.,,
program, operating procedures employed for periodic tests and inspections may be used directly for certain preoperational 44 landinitialstartuptests. Operating procedures used directly for l preoperational or initial startup tests to obtain quantitative data to l be used for evaluation of system performance will be perfonned in

Enclosure to TXX-83557 CPSES/FSAR Paga 83 of 94 additional mechanical and electrical tests will be performed to prepare the plant for nuclear operation. After final precritical tests, nuclear operation of.the reactor will begin. This phase of testing in'cludes initial criticality, low power testing and power level escalation. The purpose of these tests is to establish the operational characteristics of the unit and core, to acquire data for the proper calibration of setpoints, and to ensure that operation is within license requirements. Section 14.2.12.2 summarizes the tests which will be performed from initial criticality to rated power. The core loading and post loading tests are described below.
14.2.10.1 Fuel Loading j [5 h lQ423.5 The overall responsibility for coordination of initial coreyloading l62 activities will be exercised by the "r:;;: , Td.. kd S;;;rtAor his l designated representative with technical assistance provided by l Westinghouse. The overall process of ' initial core loading will be l directed from the operating floor of the containment structure by, a l2 licensed Senior Reactor Operator. l The core configuration will be specified as part of the core design studies conducted well in advance of fuel loading. In the event mechanical damage is sustained during core loading operations to a fuel assembly of a type for which no span is available onsite, an alternate core loading scheme will be determined. Any such changes will be approved by the appropriate Westinghouse personnel.
Core loading procedures will specify the condition of fluid systems to prevent inadvertent changes in boron concentration of the reactor coolant; the movement of fuel to preclude the possibility of mechanical damage; the conditions under which loading can proceed; and the responsibility and authority for continuous and complete fuel and core component accountability.

Water level will be maintained above the bottom of the nozzles and recirculation maintained to-assure the required boron concentration. Boron concentration can be increased via the recirculation path or directly to the open vessel.
Criteria for safe loading require that loading operations stop immediately if any of the following conditions occur.

The core will be assembled in the reactor vessel, submerged in reactor grade water containing sufficient dissolved boric acid to maintain a calculated core effective multiplication factor of 0.95 or lower.- The refueling cavity will be dry during initial core loading. Core moderator. chemistry conditions.(particularly boron concentration) will I
be prescribed'in the core loaeling procedure document and verified by chemical analysis of moderator samples taken prior to and during core '
loading operations.
At least two artificial neutron sources will be introduced into the l core at specified points in the core during the loading program to I
ensure a detector response of at least 2 counts per second attributable to neutrons, Core loading instrumentation consists of two permanently installed source range (pulse. type) nuclear channels and two tempor'ary incore source range channels. A third temporary channel may also be used as a spare. The permanent channels, when responding, will be monitored
.in the main Control Room and the temporary channels will be installed 14.2-29 February 15, 1988

The temporary channels will indicate on scalers and a minimum of one channel will be recorded on a strip chart recorder.
Minimum count rates of two counts per second, attributable to core neutrons will be required on at least two of the four (i.e.
two temporary and two pemanent source range detectors) available nuclear source channels at all times following installation of the initial nucleus of eight fuel assemblies. A response check of nuclear instruments to a neutron source will be performed within eight hours prior to loading of the core, or upon resumption of loading if delay is for more than eight hours.
Fuel assemblies together with inserted components (control rod '
assemblies, burnable poison inserts, source spider, or thimble plugging devices) will be placed in the reactor vessel one at a time according to a previously established and approved sequence developed to provide reliable core monitoring with minimum possibility of core mechanical damage. The core loading procedure documents prescribe the successive movements of each fuel assembly and its specified inserts from its initial position in the storage racks to its final position in the core. Checks will be made of component serial numbers and types at successive transfer points to guard against possible inadvertent exchanges or substituti e s of components. Fuel assembly status boards will be maintained throughout the core loading operation.
An initial nucleus of eight fuel assembifes, one containing a neutron source, is the minimum source-fuel nucleus which will permit subsequent meaningful inverse count rate monitoring. This initial nucleus is determined by calculation to be markedly subcritical (Keff50.95) under the required conditions of loading.

These results for each loading' step will be evaluated before the next fuel assembly is loaded. The final, as loaded, core configuration will be subtritical (Keff50.95) under the required loading conditions.
14.2.10.2 Initial Criticality Prior to initial criticality, the following tests will be performed and the results evaluated. .
- 1. At the completion of core loading, the reactor upper internals and pressure vessel head will be installed. A pressure test will be conducted after filling and venting is completed to check the leak tightness of the vessel head installation. ,
- 2. Mechanical and electrical tests will be performed on the control rod drive mechanisms. These tests include a complete operational checkout of the mechanisms and calibration of the individual rod position indicators.
- 3. Test will be performed on the reactor trip circuits to test manual trip operation, and actual control rod assembly drop times will be measured for each control rod assembly. At all times that the control rod drive mechanisms are being tested, the boron concentration in the coolant will be maintained such that the shutdown margin requirements specified in the Technical Specifications are met. During individual RCCA or RCC bank notion, source range instrumentation will be monitored for unexpected changes in core reactivity.

The Reactor Control and Reactor Protection Systems will be checked with simulated inputs to produce trip signals for various trip conditions. '
S. l A functional electrical and mechanical check will be made of the incore nuclear flux mapping system near normal operating temperature and pressure.
Initial criticality will be achieved by a combination of shutdown and control bank withdrawal and reactor coolant system boron concentration dilution. The plant conditions, precautions and specific instructions
{ for the approach to criticality will be specified by approved procedures.
Initially, the shutdown and control banks of control rods will be withdrawn incrementally in the nomal withdrawal sequence leaving the last withdrawn control bank partially inserted in the core to provide effective control when criticality is achieved. The boron concentration in the Reactor Coolant System will then be reduced and criticality achieved by boron dilution or by subsequent rod withdrawal following boron dilution.
Throughout this period, samples of the primary coolant will be obtained and analyzed for boron concentration.
Inverse count rate ratio monitoring, using data from- the normal plant source range instrumentation, will be used as an indication of the proximity and rate of approach to criticality. Inverse count rate ratio data will be plotted as a function of rod bank position during rod motion and as a function of reactor makeup water addition during reactor coolant system boron concentration reduction.

If test results deviate significantly from design predictions, if unacceptable behavior is revealed, or if unexplained anomalies develop, the plant will be brought to a safe stable condition and the situation reviewed to determine the course of subsequent plant operation.
These measurements will be made at low power and primarily at or near normal operating temperature and pressure. Measurements will be made 76 in order to verify the calculated values of control rod bank reactivity worths, the isothermal temperature coefficient ,
~
differential boron concentration reactivity worth, and critical boron concentrations . In addition, measurements of the relative power distributions will be made, and concurrent tests will be conducted on the instrumentation including power and intennediate range nuclear channels.
14.2.10.4 Power Level Escalation After the operating characteristics of the reactor have been verified by low power testing, a program of power level escalation will bring the unit to its full rated power level in successive stages. The minimum test requirements for each successive stage of power escalation will be specified in the initial startup test procedures.

Secondary system heat balance measurements will ensure that the-indications 1of power level are consistent and provide bases for calibration of the power range nuclear channels. The ability of the
. Reactor Coolant. System to respond effectively to signals from primary and secondary instrumentation under a variety of conditions-encountered in normal operations will be verified.
At prescribed power levels the dynamic response characteristics of ~the
-primary and secondary systems will be evaluated. System response characteristics'will be measured for design step load changes, rapid load reduction, and plant trips.
Adequacy of radiation shielding will be verified-by gamma and' neutron.
radiation surveys at selected points-inside the Containment Building and throughout the station site at various power levels. Periodic sampling will be performed to verify the chemical and radio-chemical analysis of the reactor coolant.
14.2.11 TEST PROGRAM SCHEDULE .
The sequential schedule for the preoperational testing of individual systems and components is shown in Figure 14.2-3. The sequential schedule for initial startup performed following fuel loading is shown in Figure 14.2-4.
These schedules show certain milestones at which time the tests, or portions of tests, will be completed and the overall time frame in which the tests will be conducted. The detailed schedules for testing will be prepared, reviewed and revised on a continuing basis as station construction progresses.

, Preoperational testing of the various systems and components, which will continue up to fuel loading, is scheduled to commence at a time 10 to 15 months prior to fuel load. Initial startup tests are scheduled to be conducted over a period of approximately five months subsequent to fuel load. Fuel load, initial criticality, and power ascension tests are scheduled to.be accomplished during this time period.
Station structures, systems, and components which are relied upon to prevent or mitigate consequences of postulated accidents will be fully tested to the extent practical prior to exceeding the N percent power level. Certain systems will have part of the preoperational testing perfonned after fuel load due to system configuration (e.g. control rod drive mechanism require fuel in the vessel to be fully tested).
Such systems will be sufficiently tested prior to fuel load to provide reasonable assurance of successful testing after fuel load.
The development of test procedures will be an ongoing process, which will consist of preparation, review, and revision. The preparation of preoperational test procedures is scheduled to start no later than 15 months prior to fuel loading.
Preparation of initial star' tup procedures is scheduled to commence approximately five months prior to fuel loading. Preoperational and 76
- initial startup test procedures will be available for examination by the NRC regional personnel approximately 60 days prior to the scheduled performance of the test, and, approximately 60 days prior to the scheduled fuel loading date.
38 Testing efforts on CPSES Unit 1 will not be diluted by activities on Unit 2.
