The 1C CSIP was placed in service at 0110 on November 26, 1988.On December 2, 1988, during a review of the plant status, the Shift Technical Advisor discovered that all the ESF response testing requirements may not have been completed on the 1C CSIP.An engineering eval.uation was immediately performed to determine operability of the 1C CSIP.It was determined that 1C CSIP should not have been considered operable because certain required surveillance testing had not been completed.

As a result, the surveillance requirements of Technical Specifications were not performed at the required interval.The pump was declared inoperable at 1430 on December 2, 1988.The event occurred because the 1C CSIP was not adequately covered in ESF response surveillance test procedures.

Personnel did not realize that all the 18 month surveillance requirements had not been met.The surveillance tests will be revised to ensure that all required testing of the 1C CSIP is performed.

flexibility.

The two systems which include"swing" pumps are Safety Injection and Component Cooling Water.On December 2, 1988, during a review of the plant status, a Shift Technical Advisor discovered that all the applicable Technical Specification surveillance testing requirements may not have been completed on the 1C CSIP.An engineering evaluation was immediately performed to investigate the operability status of the 1C CSIP.The evaluation determined that two surveillance requirements were not met: A test to ensure that the 1C CSIP breaker would trip upon a loss of off-site power (T.S.4.8.1.1.2.f), and a test to measure the response time from the breaker cLosure signal until the pump reaches full operating pressure (T.S.4.3.2.2).The pump was declared inoperable at 1430 on December 2, 1988.A 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO)began in accordance with Technical Specification 3.5.2, Action"A".The 1B CSIP repair was subsequently completed and the 1B CSIP was returned to service at 1600 on December 3, 1988.CAUSE: r The preoperational testing performed in 1986 demonstrated, through a series of overlapping tests, that the"swing" pumps performed satisfactorily when aligned to either safety bus.Since the"swing" pumps are normally inoperable, they were not included in the methodology for establishing the 18 month surveillance testing of the 1A and 1B pumps.The 18 month surveillance tests do not include specific acceptance criteria for the actuation logic to the"swing" components.

With no specific acceptance criteria, this discrepancy in the operability of the 1C CSIP was not flagged for tracking.As a result, administrative controls did not identify a need to perform special testing on the actuation logic prior to declaring the pump operable.NRC SQRM 3444 1943)*U.S.GPO:19BB.OB24 d38/4dd NRC Form 388A (903)LICENSEE EVENT REPORT (LER1 TEXT CONTINUATION U.S.NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION APPROVEO OMS NO.3)50-0)04 EXPIRES;8/31/88 FACILITY NAME ill Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 DOCKET NUMSER l2)YEAR LER NUMBER (8)ssQUENTIAL o)i'c NVMSSR REVISION NVMSSR PAGE 13)TEXT/I/moro soooo/I sou/)or L uso~///o/N/H/I C forrr 388A's/I I 7)CAUSE: (continued) 0 5 0 0 0 8 8 0 3 3 0003 OF 0 4 The pump was placed in service in accordance with operating procedures and tested for operability in accordance with Operations Surveillance Test (OST)1007.This test demonstrated the proper response to an actuation by the control switch and pump performance in accordance with acceptance criteria of the Inservice Testing Program.ANALYSIS OF EVENT: This event is being reported as a violation of Technical Specifications in accordance with 10CFR73.(a)(2)(i)(B).

Although the 1C CSIP was inoperable due to failure to perform certain Technical Specifications Surveillance requirements, the pump did operate satisfactorily in its normal charging pump mode, and could reasonably have been expected to perform its safety function if an ESF actuation had occurred.A special test to verify the 1C CSIP response time was successfully completed on December 15, 1988, and a test to verify proper load shedding was completed on December 21, 1988.The 1A CSIP was operable throughout this period.For these reasons, the event had no significant safety consequences or implications.

Plant records were reviewed to identify when the"swing" pumps were previously operable in Modes 1-4, and to determine if the 18 month surveillance testing requirements were satisfied in those circumstances.

The 1C CSIP was placed in service at 2138 on February 21, 1987, and remained in service until 1724 on May 20, 1987.The 1C Component Cooling Water Pump was placed in service at 1345 on February 28, 1987, and remained in service until 1344 on March 2, 1987.In these cases, the surveillance requirements were satisfactorily met by the preoperational tests, and the performance dates of the tests were such that the required surveillance test intervals were not exceeded.There have been no previous similar events.NRC FORM 368A)983)RU.S.GPO:1988.0824 838/SSS NRC Form 388A I9831 LICENSEE EVENT REPORT (LER)TEXT CONTINUATION U.S.NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMM/SSION APPROVEO OMB NO.3ISOMIOE EXPIRESI 8/31/88 fACILITY NAME Ill Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 OOCKET NUMBER 12l YEAR LER NUMBER (Sl IIOIX EEOVENTIAL NVMEEII REVISION NVM ER PAGE 131 TEXT///more EOeoe/e eorr/'red.
