that Surveillance Requirements shall be met during the MODES or otler specified conditions in the Applicability for individual Limiting Conditions for Operation, unless otherwise stated in the Surveillance Requirement.

A. Surveillance Requirement 3.8.4.8 requires the licensee to verify that battery capacity is a 80% of the manufacturer's rating when subjected to a 3erformance discharge test. The FREQUENCY of this test is 60 montas AND 18 months, when the battery shows degradation or has reached 85% of expected life.

Contrary to the above the licensee failed to perform Surveillance Requirement 3.8.4.8 within the 18-month required frequency, the appropriate frequency since the battery had shown degradation.

B. Surveillance Requirement 3.8.4.7 requires the licensee to verify  ;

that battery capacity is adecuate to supply, and maintain in OPERABLE status, the requirec emergency loads for the design duty cycle when subjected to a battery service test. The FREQUENCY of this test is 18 months.

Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to perform Surveillance Requirement 3.8.4.7 within the 18-month required frequency.

C. Surveillance Requirement 3.6.5.2.5 requires the licensee to verify, from an initial pressure of 75 psig that the drywell air lock seal pneumatic system pressure does not decay at a rate equivalent to > 0.67 psig for a period of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. The FREQUENCY of this test is 18 months.  ;

Contrary to the above. the licensee failed to perform Surveillance Requirement 3.6.5.2.5 because a satisfactory test of the drywell air lock seal system was not performed within the required 18-month frequency. (01033)

D. Surveillance Requirement 3.6.5.1.2 requires the licensee to verify. from an initial pressure of 75 psig, that the personnel ,

door inflatable seal pneumatic system pressure does not decay at a  !

E'. Surveillance Requirement 3.7.2.2 requires the licensee to perform i required CRFA [ control room fresh air) filter testing in g.. accordance with Ventilation Filter Testing Program. Surveillance Requirement 3.6.4.3.2 requires the licensee to perform required SGT [ standby. gas treatment] filter testing in accordance with Ventilation Filter Testing Program. Surveillance Requirement '

3.6.4.6.2 requires the-licensee to perform required fuel building ventilation charcoal filtration filter testing in accordance with Ventilation Filter Testing Program.

The Ventilation Filter Testing Program. Section 5.5.7.d of the Technical Specification recuires the licensee to demonstrate for each of the ESF [engineerec safeguards features] systems that the pressure' drop across the prefilters is less than the value speci fied 'below.

Contrary to the above. the licensee failed to perform Surveillance Requirements 3.7.2.2. 3.6.4.3.2. and 3.6.4.6.2 because testing of the system prefilters was not performed. (01053) l F. Surveillance Recuirement 3.6.1.1.1 requires the licensee to i

cerform requirec leakage rate testing in accordance with the 3rimary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program. The FREQUENCY of this test is in accordance with the Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program.

l The Primary Containment Leakage Rate Progr'am, as provided in Procedure ADM-0050. Revision 4. states.. in part. that if the -

leakage for Valve 1SWP-MOV503A is less than 1200 scfm for two i

' consecutive tests, then the valve can be tested every 5 years vice every 2 years.

l Contrary to the above. the licensee failed to aerform Surveillance Requirement 3.6.1.1.1 because the as-found leacage for Valve'1SWP-MOV503A was not measured during the last test

)erformance and the licensee incorrectly assumed that the valve lad passed the leakage criteria. and as a result, the test at the 2 year interval was not performed. (01063) i l l
