This is an item of noncompliance and is discussed further in paragraph 1 . From the data on data sheet 8.2 it would appear that one of the check valves in the seal injection line for Reactor Coolant Pump B is not opening fully or that the line is plugge Compared to the three other pumps, only the minimum acceptable flow of 7.5 gallons per minute was obtained with its respective throttle valve considerably more open than the others.

tests that have problems but should indicate more involvement by moni-toring groups within the licensee's organization. The inspectors further indicated that this trend will continue to be evaluated to determine if adequate corrective action has been implemented and to determine the impact on the acceptability of the preoperational test progra . Preoperational Test Scheduling The inspector has again informed the licensee that the published preoperational test completion date, plus the exhibited time frame for licensee review of completed test results packages does not support the proposed fuel load date. The inspector's concern is that attention to meeting proposed fuel load date may negatively influence the licensee's results review proces The inspector also indicated that the level of review by qualified people must not decrease due to pressure to meet proposed schedules. The licensee has acknowledged the concerns. This item is of particular interest due to the recent voiding of completed test packages by the licensee as discussed in paragraph 9.
 
.
1 Technical Specifications Review The inspector reviewed the draft proof and review technical specifica-tions in detail in preparation for procedure and results review No items of noncompliance or deviations were identifie . Preoperational Test Content Review of procedures and test results packages during both this and the previous inspection period revealed deficiencies in the technical content of approved preoperational test procedures. These deficiencies can be categorized into four areas and are listed below along with examples of these deficiencie Failure to provide verification of designed safety features (1) The ability of an SIS or Feedwater Isolation Signal to override the exercise mode of the Main Feedwater Isolation Valves was not verified in SU3-AE01, " Main Feedwater System". This item was discussed fully in inspection report 50-482/84-30(DRS).
 
(2) The ability of an SIS to override the slow closure mode of the MSIVs was not verified in SU3-AB04, " Main Steam System". This item is discussed in paragraph 3.a of this repor (3) The ability of an SIS to override the Automatic Test Insertion sequence in the Load Shed/ Emergency Load Sequencer system was not verified in SU3-NF01, " Load Shedding and Load Sequencer".
 
This item is discussed in paragraph 4 of this repor .
Failure of preoperational test procedures to verify the proper operation of designed safety functions is considered an item of noncompliance (482/84-43-09(DRS)).
      .
'
 
      ;
. . Failure to verify an FSAR commitment Preoperational test SU3-NK01, "125 VDC Class 1E Electrical System",
did not monitor and record hydrogen concentration during battery operations for retention as a plant permanent record. This item is discussed in paragraph 3.b of this repor Failure to verify an FSAR commitment is an item of noncompliance (482/84-43-10(DRS)). Improper test methods
. (1) Failure mode testing of air operated valves (A0V) did not verify correct fail position on loss of air and loss of electrical power to the solenoid air valve. This item was discussed in report 50-482/84-30(DRS) and in paragraphs and 5.c of this repor (2) An improper pressure gage was used to record pump performance data for acceptance criteria in SU3-EJ01, " Residual Heat Removal System". This item is discussed in paragraph 5.d of this report.
 
.
  (3) The method used for conducting the 35 start diesel generator reliability test did not provide correct test condition This item is discussed in paragraph 3.c of this repor Incorporation of improper test methods and failure of the review processes to identify and correct them is an item of noncompliance (482/84-43-11(DRS)). Failure to test equipment in the conditions under which it is
      ~
expected to operate (1) SU3-NF02, "LOCA Sequencer", did not provide proper environmental conditions for the diesel generator during its 24 hour load test. This item is fully discussed in report 50-482/84-3 (2) SU3-NF03, " Shutdown Sequencer", did not test the emergency pumps'
ability to start and accelerate to full load under degraded voltage conditions. This item was discussed in report 50-482/84-3 Failure to test equipment in the condition under which it is expected to operate in'the event of an actuation is an item of noncompliance (482/84-43-12(DRS)).
These items of noncompliance identified in preoperational test content were discussed at an Enforcement Conference held on December 4, 198 Any enforcement action based on these findings will be discussed in inspection report 50-482/84-5 .

tests that have problems but should indicate more involvement by moni-toring groups within the licensee's organization. The inspectors further indicated that this trend will continue to be evaluated to determine if adequate corrective action has been implemented and to determine the impact on the acceptability of the preoperational test progra . Preoperational Test Scheduling The inspector has again informed the licensee that the published preoperational test completion date, plus the exhibited time frame for licensee review of completed test results packages does not support the proposed fuel load date. The inspector's concern is that attention to meeting proposed fuel load date may negatively influence the licensee's results review proces The inspector also indicated that the level of review by qualified people must not decrease due to pressure to meet proposed schedules. The licensee has acknowledged the concerns. This item is of particular interest due to the recent voiding of completed test packages by the licensee as discussed in paragraph 9.

. 1 Technical Specifications Review The inspector reviewed the draft proof and review technical specifica-tions in detail in preparation for procedure and results review No items of noncompliance or deviations were identifie . Preoperational Test Content Review of procedures and test results packages during both this and the previous inspection period revealed deficiencies in the technical content of approved preoperational test procedures. These deficiencies can be categorized into four areas and are listed below along with examples of these deficiencie Failure to provide verification of designed safety features (1) The ability of an SIS or Feedwater Isolation Signal to override the exercise mode of the Main Feedwater Isolation Valves was not verified in SU3-AE01, " Main Feedwater System". This item was discussed fully in inspection report 50-482/84-30(DRS).

(2) The ability of an SIS to override the slow closure mode of the MSIVs was not verified in SU3-AB04, " Main Steam System". This item is discussed in paragraph 3.a of this repor (3) The ability of an SIS to override the Automatic Test Insertion sequence in the Load Shed/ Emergency Load Sequencer system was not verified in SU3-NF01, " Load Shedding and Load Sequencer".

This item is discussed in paragraph 4 of this repor . Failure of preoperational test procedures to verify the proper operation of designed safety functions is considered an item of noncompliance (482/84-43-09(DRS)).

      .
'
      ;
. . Failure to verify an FSAR commitment Preoperational test SU3-NK01, "125 VDC Class 1E Electrical System",

did not monitor and record hydrogen concentration during battery operations for retention as a plant permanent record. This item is discussed in paragraph 3.b of this repor Failure to verify an FSAR commitment is an item of noncompliance (482/84-43-10(DRS)). Improper test methods

. (1) Failure mode testing of air operated valves (A0V) did not verify correct fail position on loss of air and loss of electrical power to the solenoid air valve. This item was discussed in report 50-482/84-30(DRS) and in paragraphs and 5.c of this repor (2) An improper pressure gage was used to record pump performance data for acceptance criteria in SU3-EJ01, " Residual Heat Removal System". This item is discussed in paragraph 5.d of this report.

.

 (3) The method used for conducting the 35 start diesel generator reliability test did not provide correct test condition This item is discussed in paragraph 3.c of this repor Incorporation of improper test methods and failure of the review processes to identify and correct them is an item of noncompliance (482/84-43-11(DRS)). Failure to test equipment in the conditions under which it is
     ~

expected to operate (1) SU3-NF02, "LOCA Sequencer", did not provide proper environmental conditions for the diesel generator during its 24 hour load test. This item is fully discussed in report 50-482/84-3 (2) SU3-NF03, " Shutdown Sequencer", did not test the emergency pumps' ability to start and accelerate to full load under degraded voltage conditions. This item was discussed in report 50-482/84-3 Failure to test equipment in the condition under which it is expected to operate in'the event of an actuation is an item of noncompliance (482/84-43-12(DRS)). These items of noncompliance identified in preoperational test content were discussed at an Enforcement Conference held on December 4, 198 Any enforcement action based on these findings will be discussed in inspection report 50-482/84-5 .
