Specifically, on October 30, 1994, the plant was shut down and taken to Mode-5 (Cold Shutdown).

This outage exceeded 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> and per Technical Specification requirements Engineered Safety" Feature slave relay testing was required.To satisfy this requirement OST-1083 and OST-1084 were satisfactorily completed, however the slave relay circuits for the CSIP Alternate Mini-Flow Isolation Valves, 1CS-746 and 1CS-752 were not tested due to an error that occurred during a procedure revision in June 1993.1 In September 1992, a plant modification was completed on the Charging/Safety Injection Pump (CSIP)Alternate Mini-Flow System that necessitated revisions to Operations Surveillance Test procedures OST-1083 and OST-1084.These revisions were completed in June 1993 and removed the slave relay testing for CSIP Alternate Mini-FlowIsolation Valves (1CS-746 and 1CS-752)from OST-1083 and OST-1084 and transferred the testing requirement to procedure OST-1809.The cause of the Technical Specification violation was personnel error during the June 1993 procedure revision process for OST-1083 and OST-1084.OST-1809 was successfully performed during Refueling Outage 6 on September 8, 1995.This test verified the operability of these circuits, thus no immediate corrective action was required upon identification of the deficiency.

Additional corrective actions included personnel counseling, appropriate procedure revisions and the continuation of an in-progress Technical Specification testing program review.

On January 17, 1996, a failure to perform Technical Specification surveillance testing during an October 1994 planned maintenance outage was identified.

The identification of this condition was a result of an on-going comprehensive Technical Specification testing program review that began in September 1995 following submital of LER 95-07.JJ Specifically, on October 30, 1994, the plant was shut down and taken to Mode-5 (Cold Shutdown)for a planned maintenance outage.This outage exceeded 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> and therefore, per Technical Specification 4.3.2.1 requirements, Engineered Safety Feature (ESF)slave relay testing was required for the 13 ESF relays delineated in Table 4.3-2 that had not been tested in the last 92 days due to being at full power operations.

To satisfy this requirement OST-1083 and OST-1084 were completed on November 3, 1994.However, the slave relay circuits for the CSIP Alternate Mini-Flow Isolation Valves (1CS-746 and 1CS-752, EIIS Code BQ-ISV)were not tested due to an error that occurred during procedure revisions performed in June 1993 on Engineered Safety Feature (ESF)18-Month Slave Relay Operations Surveillance Test procedures OST-1083 and OST-1084.This error inv'olved inappropriately removing the slave relay testing for the 1CS-746 and 1CS-752 circuits from OST-1083 and OST-1084 and transfering the testing requirement to procedure OST-1809 (Refueling Water Storage Tank switchover to the Containment sumps), which is also an 18-month ESF response time test.OST-1809 was not performed following the October maintenance outage, thus resulting in the testing ommision and Technical Specification violation.

During the investigation of this event, personnel performing the Technical Specification testing program review verified that OST-1809 had been successfully performed during Refueling Outage 6 on September 8, 1995, which verified the operability of the affected circuits.The June 1993 revisions to OST-1083 and OST-1084 were performed to incorporate a plant modification (PCR-6547) on the Charging/Safety Injection Pump (CSIP)Alternate Mini-Flow lines.This modification removed the previously installed relief valves and provided an"open" signal to 1CS-746 and 1CS-752 upon receipt of a Safety Injection signal.This condition was determined to be a violation of the Technical Specification surveillance test periodicity requirement and is being reported per 10CFR50.73(a)(2)(i)(b).

CAUSE: The cause of the Technical Specification violation was personnel error during the June 1993 procedure revision process for OST-1083 and OST-1084.The testing requirements for the slave relay circuits for the CSIP Alternate Mini-Flow Isolation Valves (1CS-746 and 1CS-752)were inappropriately transferred to OST-1809, which was not identified or scheduled as a Mode-5"event related" surveillance test.A (4-5)

There were no adverse safety consequences as a result of this event.The CSIP Alternate Mini-Flow Isolation Valve circuits were tested satisfactorily on September 8, 1995 to verify operability.

This testing provides confidence that had an accident occurred requiring CSIP mini-flow protection,due to the re-pressurization of the Reactor Coolant System during a safety injection, the isolation valves would have opened to prevent pump damage.PREVIOUS SIMILAR EVENTS: Previous events have been submitted as LERs related to surveillance testing deficiencies caused by procedural inadequacies.

LER 95-07, which was submitted on September 28, 1995, contained a corrective action to perform a comprehensive Technical Specification testing program review and it was during this review process that the CSIP Alternate Mini-Flow Isolation Valve condition was identified.

This review is being performed by a multi-discipline team and is still in progress.CORRECTIVE ACTIONS COMPLETED:

1.Slave relay testing was satisfactorily completed on September 8, 1995 that verified the operability of the CSIP Alternate Mini-Flow Isolation Valve circuits.2.Personnel involved in the June 1993 procedure revision process for OST-1083 and OST-1084 were counseled.

3.Surveillance procedures OST-1083 and OST-1084 were revised on February 16, 1996 to include the requirements for CSIP Alternate Mini-Flow Isolation Valve slave relay testing.CORRECTIVE ACTIONS PLANNED: 1.The comprehensive Technical Specification testing program review that identified this condition is currently in progress and will be completed as described in LER 95-07.EIIS CODES: High Head Safety Injection-BQ
