The inspector verified that 26 temperature elegients and 6 Dewcells were to be installed. Under the ANSI N56.8-1981, a minimum of three Dewpoint temperature sensors were required and no Drybulb temperature sensor was allowed to represent a volume fraction greater than 10% during the test. The following is a summary of the CILRT sensors:

The meeting was conducted by the Startup Test Group Manager and Test Directo The critical path plateau and associated activities were discussed as well as projected time tables and milestones during the tes Various activities and responsibilities assigned to each group were briefly discussed, and the location of necessary hardware (i.e., compressors, gauges, data center) was noted. Contain-ment access and administrative controls were clarified for the necessary activity controls during the containment pressurization and test duratio .0 Structural Integrity Test (SIT)
4.1 Pre-Closecut Containment Inspection Prior to containment closecut, the inspectors conducted a containment walkdown and observed the following:
--
QA/QC personnel participated in a pre-clor,eout walkdown as well as the official closeout walkdow The thermal barrier surge tank was vente The pressurizer relief tank had been vented for the tes Containment Sump A was almost filled with water and Sump B was empt The inspectors raised a concern about three rectangular support beams which were sealed at both ends. The licensee agreed to drill weep holes in the beams. This was later verified by the inspector _ , , . __ ___ _ _ _ _ _ _

This system consists of eight compressors connected to a manifol The manifold is connected to the containment through a 10" CGCS line. The licensee has indicated that the containment Isolation valve will be closed and the manifold vented during the ILR This was later verified by the inspector The bypass flow for the instrument verification test was con-nected to the hydrogen analyzer line (3/4" line).
 
No unacceptable conditions were identifie .2 SIT Sequence Containment pressurization was commenced at 7:32 a.m. on March 15, 1986 with an initial pressurization rate of approximately 1 PSI /HR. This was less than the intended rate of approximately 2 PSI /HR (not to exceed 3.5 PSI /HR). At 9:50 a.m. on March 15, 1986, the litersee checked the mensor (pressure gage) sensing line for any l leakage contribating to the low pressurization rate. It was deter-
'
mined that a1 instrument vent valve was leaking at the seat. The l valve was t'.ghtened and pressure indications which were erratic became statle. P*essurization rate was now indicated at 2.79 PSI /HR.

United Engineers specification for the SIT, Speci-fication No. 9763.006-5-S, Revision 1 and their Technical Procedure No. TP-13, applied these commitments. These are also the bases for the licensee's Preoperational Test Procedure, TPI-62-F02, Revision 2, and of Teledyne Engineering Services / Brewer Engineering Laboratories (BEL /TES) implementing procedures:
--
Test Plan for Seabrook #1 SIT, Technical Report TR-20422(836)
for calibration installation and operation of instrumentation
--
Technical Report TR-20422(837), installation procedure for support of 64 displacement transducers The secondary purpose of this inspection was to observe the licen-see's planned engineering coordination for the SIT, and to review the assigned responsibility for conduct of the test and sign-off as identified in the licensee's Preoperational Test Procedure. The inspector attended the Pretest Briefing conducted by the licensee's test director of his Startup Test Department on the night of March 14 before the test and toured the containment interior to observe the SIT instrumentation. Prior to the SIT on March 15, the NRC inspector observed the exterior containment crack-mapping areas and noted scme apparent pretest hairline cracks in the concret The NRC inspector witnessed on March 15 the test through the first two pressure plateaus of 13 and 26 PSI He observed the crack mapping and photo-graphing at each station. He independently verified crack widths and observed the controls maintained and the required sign-off. The administrative controls undertaken by the licensee were also observed during this part of the tes The licensee QA sign-off at each stage of the SIT provided assurance of the prescribed quality controls required by the technical' specifications. The ASME III, Division 2, required verification and sign-off was observed accomplished by the Authorized Inspecto The NRC inspector additionally observed that the following NRC items of concern identified in inspection reports during construction of the containment building were addressed by the A-E for observation and evaluation during the SIT:

Containment Liner Plate Separation The above observations indicated that the Seabrook Unit #1 contain-ment structural integrity test was being conducted in accordance with the ASME B&PV Code Section III, Division 2. The conduct of the test was observed by the NRC inspector to demonstrate licensee involvement in assuring quality. As required by this code and the A-E's technical specification, the SIT contractor is required to submit to the Engineer and Test Director a Test Report. This will be made a part of the Final Report prepared by the Engineer (concrete containment structural designer) in accordance with ASME section CC-6260 for acceptance of the Seabrook Unit #1 concrete containment's integrit The final report will be reviewed by the NRC for acceptability in a subsequent inspectio .0 Integrated Leak Rate Test 5.1 General On March 18 and 19, 1986 a preoperational ILRT was performed at Seabrook Station, Unit 1, as required by 10 CFR 50, Appendix J. The test was performed in accordance with 1-PT(I)-37.1, " Reactor Contain-ment Integrated Leak Rate Test," Revision 1. The inspectors reviewed the test procedure and witnessed preparations and various portions of the tes .2 Procedure The inspector reviewed checkoff /signoff sheets, official log books, controlled test procedures, and data taking, and observed test activities to verify that:

5.4 Test Instrumentation The inspectors reviewed the calibration records of the ILRT instru-mentation to ascertain that the instruments had been calibrated within the 6-month period prior to the test, as per the industry      4 standard ANSI /ANS-56.8-1981. The calibrations were traceable to the National Bureau of Standards. The inspectors also verified that the instrument system satisfied the specifications given in the instrument selection guide of ANSI /ANS-56.8-198 The inspectors observed the operation of the automatic data collection system during the conduct of the test.
 
.
The inspectors verified the arrangement and location of the resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) and Dewcells in the containment.
 
.
No unacceptable conditions were identifie .5 Containment Inspection and Test Boundary Verification The inspectors conducted several tours independently with and without licensee personnel before and during the ILRT. The containment was
,
'
inspected for the existence of artificial boundaries and boundaries showing evidence of leakage. Several isolation valves were found to
; be leaking slightly. However, the licensee inspection team identified t the leakage sources and administrative measures were taken to continue monitoring these valves throughout the tes No unacceptable conditions were identifie .6 ILRT Chronology

5.7 Stabilization Period The first acceptance criterion on vapor pressure was ambiguous and a quantitative guidance was not provided in the test procedure. The
'
inspector made an independent calculation to verify the degree of stability, particularly, the variance of the dewpoint Each data point was obtained from the Dewcells and the temperature elements every 15 minutes, and the containment pressure was monitored using the second Mensor pressure transmitter, PIT-6447. The PIT-6446 was abandoned at 10:45 a.m., March 17, 1986 due to its erratic behavio During the 4 hours of stabilization, a total of 17 data points were
.
obtained. Since the numerical differences between the arithmetic and i
'
the harmonically weighted averages were small, the inspector maae an independent, simplistic evaluation of the vapor pressure variation based on the Gaussian distribution of the data point Gaussian average P vapor = 0.2104 psi Population Standard Deviation, n
    = 0.00142 psi Sample Standard Deviation, n-1 = 0.001466 psi
!  Based on the abcve, the inspector determined that the dewpoints during the period were stabl For the second acceptance criterion on the containment temperature
  - perturbation, the harmonically-weighted air temperatures fluctuated by less than 0.45 F/hr during the entire 4 hour period, meeting the required 0.5 F/hr criterio Figure 1 shows the trend of data taken during the 4 hour stabil12a-
,  tion period. The figure shows that the atmosphere in the containment i  for the first hour was relatively unstable as' compared to the next 3 hours. The data however meets the criteria for temperature stabili-zation described in ANSI /ANS 56.8-1981 that is: " ...the latest rate

of change of the weighted average contained air temperature, averaged over the last hour, does not deviate by more than 0.5 F/hr from the average rate of change of the weighted average contained air temper-ature averaged over the last four hours." The inspectors calculated a value of 0.45 F/hr which satisfied the above criteri . 8 ILRT Parameters The following parameters were monitored by the inspectors during the course of the ILRT:
-
Containment sump levels
-
Steam generator levels
-
Primary component cooling water (PCCW) heat exchanger outlet temperature
-
Reactor vessel level The objective was to monitor the water inventory in the reactor coolant system for prompt identification of leaks and to chase leak source The PCCW heat exchanger outlet temperatures were also monitored in order to verify adequate cooling of the containment fan Table 1 summarized the data, which indicated no meaningful change The stable readings during the test period is an indirect indication of containment tightnes . }    .i  j      .  ,

1191 5.9 ILRT Results Evaluation The inspectors also calculated the containment integrated leak rate by taking a straight line extrapolation of the test data near the end of the test. The independently obtained value was .03 wt. %/ day without applying a confidence limit. The licensee computer calcu-lation was .05 wt. %/ day. The test acceptance limit is 0.1125 w %/ day. The above computations are based on a simple mass point calculation. As seen in Figure 2, the leak fit curve with 95% upper confidence limit appears to be asymptotically approaching a leak rate of .08 wt. %/ day. If the curve is extrapolated to the full 24 hour test period, a final leak rate of approximately .06 wt. %/ day is observed. This is within the test acceptance criteria. Figure 3 shows the containment air mass during the test. This preliminary evaluation of the data indicates a successful preoperational ILR Final approval 'will depend on a thorough NRC raview of the final summary technical report. Test verification data will also be reviewed at that tim .0 Tours The inspectors made several tours of the plant including the reactor building, penetration rooms, control room, containment hatches and plant exterior (containment and compressor area) in order to monitor the activ-ities related to the preparation for and performance of the SIT and ILR The inspectors noted no unusual or unacceptable condition .0 QA/QC Test Coverage During the performance of the SIT and ILRT, the inspectors verified QA/yC involvement in test monitoring. QC was present to provide coverage for test steps at assigned witness points and verified that test performance was properly executed. No unacceptable conditions were identifie .0 Independent Calculations The inspectors performed independent calculations of the stabilization period acceptance criteria and the ILRT results. Details are included in Section .0 Exit Meeting Licens e management was informed of the purpose and scope of the inspec-tion at the entrance interview. The findings of the inspection were periodically discusred and were summarized at the exit meeting which was held on March 19, H86.

This system consists of eight compressors connected to a manifol The manifold is connected to the containment through a 10" CGCS line. The licensee has indicated that the containment Isolation valve will be closed and the manifold vented during the ILR This was later verified by the inspector The bypass flow for the instrument verification test was con-nected to the hydrogen analyzer line (3/4" line).

No unacceptable conditions were identifie .2 SIT Sequence Containment pressurization was commenced at 7:32 a.m. on March 15, 1986 with an initial pressurization rate of approximately 1 PSI /HR. This was less than the intended rate of approximately 2 PSI /HR (not to exceed 3.5 PSI /HR). At 9:50 a.m. on March 15, 1986, the litersee checked the mensor (pressure gage) sensing line for any l leakage contribating to the low pressurization rate. It was deter-

'

mined that a1 instrument vent valve was leaking at the seat. The l valve was t'.ghtened and pressure indications which were erratic became statle. P*essurization rate was now indicated at 2.79 PSI /HR.

United Engineers specification for the SIT, Speci-fication No. 9763.006-5-S, Revision 1 and their Technical Procedure No. TP-13, applied these commitments. These are also the bases for the licensee's Preoperational Test Procedure, TPI-62-F02, Revision 2, and of Teledyne Engineering Services / Brewer Engineering Laboratories (BEL /TES) implementing procedures:

Technical Report TR-20422(837), installation procedure for support of 64 displacement transducers The secondary purpose of this inspection was to observe the licen-see's planned engineering coordination for the SIT, and to review the assigned responsibility for conduct of the test and sign-off as identified in the licensee's Preoperational Test Procedure. The inspector attended the Pretest Briefing conducted by the licensee's test director of his Startup Test Department on the night of March 14 before the test and toured the containment interior to observe the SIT instrumentation. Prior to the SIT on March 15, the NRC inspector observed the exterior containment crack-mapping areas and noted scme apparent pretest hairline cracks in the concret The NRC inspector witnessed on March 15 the test through the first two pressure plateaus of 13 and 26 PSI He observed the crack mapping and photo-graphing at each station. He independently verified crack widths and observed the controls maintained and the required sign-off. The administrative controls undertaken by the licensee were also observed during this part of the tes The licensee QA sign-off at each stage of the SIT provided assurance of the prescribed quality controls required by the technical' specifications. The ASME III, Division 2, required verification and sign-off was observed accomplished by the Authorized Inspecto The NRC inspector additionally observed that the following NRC items of concern identified in inspection reports during construction of the containment building were addressed by the A-E for observation and evaluation during the SIT:

Containment Liner Plate Separation The above observations indicated that the Seabrook Unit #1 contain-ment structural integrity test was being conducted in accordance with the ASME B&PV Code Section III, Division 2. The conduct of the test was observed by the NRC inspector to demonstrate licensee involvement in assuring quality. As required by this code and the A-E's technical specification, the SIT contractor is required to submit to the Engineer and Test Director a Test Report. This will be made a part of the Final Report prepared by the Engineer (concrete containment structural designer) in accordance with ASME section CC-6260 for acceptance of the Seabrook Unit #1 concrete containment's integrit The final report will be reviewed by the NRC for acceptability in a subsequent inspectio .0 Integrated Leak Rate Test 5.1 General On March 18 and 19, 1986 a preoperational ILRT was performed at Seabrook Station, Unit 1, as required by 10 CFR 50, Appendix J. The test was performed in accordance with 1-PT(I)-37.1, " Reactor Contain-ment Integrated Leak Rate Test," Revision 1. The inspectors reviewed the test procedure and witnessed preparations and various portions of the tes .2 Procedure The inspector reviewed checkoff /signoff sheets, official log books, controlled test procedures, and data taking, and observed test activities to verify that:

5.4 Test Instrumentation The inspectors reviewed the calibration records of the ILRT instru-mentation to ascertain that the instruments had been calibrated within the 6-month period prior to the test, as per the industry 4 standard ANSI /ANS-56.8-1981. The calibrations were traceable to the National Bureau of Standards. The inspectors also verified that the instrument system satisfied the specifications given in the instrument selection guide of ANSI /ANS-56.8-198 The inspectors observed the operation of the automatic data collection system during the conduct of the test.

.

The inspectors verified the arrangement and location of the resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) and Dewcells in the containment.

.

No unacceptable conditions were identifie .5 Containment Inspection and Test Boundary Verification The inspectors conducted several tours independently with and without licensee personnel before and during the ILRT. The containment was

,

'

inspected for the existence of artificial boundaries and boundaries showing evidence of leakage. Several isolation valves were found to

be leaking slightly. However, the licensee inspection team identified t the leakage sources and administrative measures were taken to continue monitoring these valves throughout the tes No unacceptable conditions were identifie .6 ILRT Chronology

5.7 Stabilization Period The first acceptance criterion on vapor pressure was ambiguous and a quantitative guidance was not provided in the test procedure. The

'

inspector made an independent calculation to verify the degree of stability, particularly, the variance of the dewpoint Each data point was obtained from the Dewcells and the temperature elements every 15 minutes, and the containment pressure was monitored using the second Mensor pressure transmitter, PIT-6447. The PIT-6446 was abandoned at 10:45 a.m., March 17, 1986 due to its erratic behavio During the 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> of stabilization, a total of 17 data points were

The inspectors calculated a value of 0.45 F/hr which satisfied the above criteri . 8 ILRT Parameters The following parameters were monitored by the inspectors during the course of the ILRT:

-

Containment sump levels

-

Steam generator levels

-

Primary component cooling water (PCCW) heat exchanger outlet temperature

-

Reactor vessel level The objective was to monitor the water inventory in the reactor coolant system for prompt identification of leaks and to chase leak source The PCCW heat exchanger outlet temperatures were also monitored in order to verify adequate cooling of the containment fan Table 1 summarized the data, which indicated no meaningful change The stable readings during the test period is an indirect indication of containment tightnes . } .i j . ,

1191 5.9 ILRT Results Evaluation The inspectors also calculated the containment integrated leak rate by taking a straight line extrapolation of the test data near the end of the test. The independently obtained value was .03 wt. %/ day without applying a confidence limit. The licensee computer calcu-lation was .05 wt. %/ day. The test acceptance limit is 0.1125 w %/ day. The above computations are based on a simple mass point calculation. As seen in Figure 2, the leak fit curve with 95% upper confidence limit appears to be asymptotically approaching a leak rate of .08 wt. %/ day. If the curve is extrapolated to the full 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> test period, a final leak rate of approximately .06 wt. %/ day is observed. This is within the test acceptance criteria. Figure 3 shows the containment air mass during the test. This preliminary evaluation of the data indicates a successful preoperational ILR Final approval 'will depend on a thorough NRC raview of the final summary technical report. Test verification data will also be reviewed at that tim .0 Tours The inspectors made several tours of the plant including the reactor building, penetration rooms, control room, containment hatches and plant exterior (containment and compressor area) in order to monitor the activ-ities related to the preparation for and performance of the SIT and ILR The inspectors noted no unusual or unacceptable condition .0 QA/QC Test Coverage During the performance of the SIT and ILRT, the inspectors verified QA/yC involvement in test monitoring. QC was present to provide coverage for test steps at assigned witness points and verified that test performance was properly executed. No unacceptable conditions were identifie .0 Independent Calculations The inspectors performed independent calculations of the stabilization period acceptance criteria and the ILRT results. Details are included in Section .0 Exit Meeting Licens e management was informed of the purpose and scope of the inspec-tion at the entrance interview. The findings of the inspection were periodically discusred and were summarized at the exit meeting which was held on March 19, H86. Attendees at the exit meeting are listed in Section 1.0 of this report. At no time during the inspection was written material provided to the licensee by the inspector ..
