During results review / evaluation of preopera-tional test procedure (PTP)-BB-3(A), Standby Diesel Generator Loading, and PTP-BB-3(B), ECCS Integrated Initiation / Loss of Offsite Power, the inspec-

,

tor determined that integrated system performance had not been fully demon-strated. During this inspection the inspector reviewed surveillance test i OP-ST.KJ-005,(006, 007 and 008)(Q), Integrated Emergency Diesel Generator I 1AG400 (IBG400, ICG400 and IDG400) Test - 18 months. The inspector deter-mined that satisfactory performance of the surveillanc- "est would demon-

.

strate proper performance of each emergency diesel g" ttor (EDG) and its

, associated electrical bus. On April 2, 1986 the inst ars observed per-

formance of portions of OP-ST.KJ-007 (Q)('C'EDG). Th< ..ocedure was stop-f ped by the licensee when the Residual Heat Removal (RhR) pump did not start

during the initiation sequenc That portion of the test was satisfactori-i ly completed later during the 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift when an incorrect j test connection not noted in the test was discovered and corrected. One j hardware problem was identified by the inspectors when it was noted that the Logic Out of Service annunciator for the 'C' RHR pump was not energized as required by the procedure. This item is being investigated by the 11-a censee and being followed by the resident inspector.

The inspector also reviewed selected surveillance procedures to verify that they were consistent with the final draft of the faci-lity's Technical Specifications.

4.2 Discussion

The surveillance procedures listed in Attachment A were reviewed to insure conformance with the final draft Technical Specifications and for technical adequacy. Minor concerns identified by the inspector

were all resolved through discussions with the appropriate work group technical specification coordinators.

'

The inspector reviewed the completed technical specification surveil-

^ lances listed in Attachment B to insure that all appropriate accept-

'

ance criteria were satisfied. In addition, the inspector verified through a 20% sample, that all I&C surveillances that were logged as completed, had been properly reviewed and filed and the surveillance J

i results were retrievable for review.

] 6.2 Discussion i

During review of PTP-KL-1 the inspector noted that air quality

! samples were taken at the containment instrument gas system receiver

! drain valves and analyzed for 3.0 micrometer particle size. The

, inspector questioned why air quality samples had not been obtained

! at the end of the feeder lines as suggested by Regulatory Guide 1.68.3, Preoperational Testing of Instrument and Control. Air Systems.

The licensee noted that a satisfactory flush had been previously con-ducted using General Test Procedure (GTP)-1, General Flushing and Cleaning Procedure. The inspector stated that GTP-1 flush samples method would not be able to detect 3.0 micrometer particles and could not verify system cleanlines The licensee agreed and stated that further sampling would be performed to verify particle siz If par-ticle size criteria are exceeded further action will be taken to re-solve the issue and ensure that air quality is such that safety re-lated components / instruments are not adversely affected. This item is unresolved pending licensee action and NRC review (354/86-22-01).
