rods, test personnel did not connect the pressure differential test box with the control rod fully inserted and conduct the settling friction test on rod 18-27 with the cooling water valve closed as required in procedure STP-5.8.2. Second, during inspector review of test results on August 9, 1985, it was noted that test personnel did not prepare a test exception for those level indicators (1821-LT-154/155 and 1C61-LI-004) that did not j meet the test acceptance criteria of STP-9.8.1 as required by the admini-strative procedure SP-12-075.01. Third, during inspector review of test results on August 11, 1985, it was noted that test personnel did not evaluate the settling friction test of control rod 18-27 in the manner

prescribed in procedure STP-5.8.2 in that the rod had been identified as

'

having passed the test acceptance criteria, whereas the analysis performed as prescribed in the procedure showed that the rod (18-27) did not satisf the acceptance criteria.
