It was recognized by the test engineer initially that the procedure was not stamped. However, due to the late hour, the proper stamp was not available frcm the supervisor-preoperational test. During turnover the next day, the test engineer failed to bring up the need to place the stamp in the procedure and shortly thereafter the discrepancy was discovered by the senior resident inspector. The supervisor-preoperational test was then informed and the stamp was intnedi-ately placed on the procedure.

The test engineers involved were instructed by their supervisor of the importance of stamping the procedure and were raninded that it is required by TI 8 " Conduct of Testing." Both engineers were instructed to follow procedure when preparing a preoperational for testing.

COimrLnVE STEPS WHIGI WILL BE TAKEN 'IO AVOID FURTHER VIOIATIONS SU&T personnel were trained on May 29, 1985, on the requirenents of TI-8

" Conduct of Testing".
