OF COMPLETION

Report No. 92028, dated january 21, 1993, _forwarded

the results of the NRC inspection

conducted

from December 7 through 18, 1992 in the area of irtservice

testing. The inspection

report identified

an apparent violation

of NRC requirements

pertaining

to inadequate

acceptance

criteria to verify . that the Primary Coolant System (PCS) loop check valves and Low Pressure

Injection (lPSI) check valves were exercised

to their full open position.

Our reply to the

of Vio.lation

was dated February 22, 1993. Corrective

action 4, in the reply to the Notice of Violation

to avoid

non-compliance, was a verification

that the check valve part of ISi program would be reviewed to verify that; (a) all check valves* requiring

full flow testing are -included

in th_e valve testing program, (b) the correct required flow rates and basis for the flow rate are properly listed for each . check valve in the valve testing program, and (c) all test protedures

that take.credit

for full flow testing state the correct flow rates as acceptance

criteria.

These actions were proposed to be completed

by July 15, 1993 which was the forecast end of the refueling

outage. . . . Because of the other work activities

have

higher priority, we are extending

the forecast cdmpletion

date of corrective

action 4 in our reply to the Notice of Violation

from July 15, 1993 until December 1, 1993. Specific

actions for verification

that the PCS and LPSI check valves will go to their full open position during flow testing are on schedule for completion

during the ongoing 1993 refueling

outage. Gerald B Slade General Manager . CC: Administrator, Region Ill Resident Inspector, Palisades
