INITIAL TEST PROGRAM
14.2 INITIAL TEST PROGRAM
14.2.1
SUMMARY
OF TEST PROGRAM AND OBJECTIVES
The Initial Test Program encompassed the scope of events following completion of construction and construction-related inspections and tests and terminating with Power Ascension Testing. The Initial Test Program was conducted in two separate and sequential subprograms: the Preoperational Test Program and the Initial Startup Test Program. At the conclusion of these subprograms, the plant was ready for normal power operation. Testing during the Initial Test Program was accomplished in four sequential phases:
Preoperational Test Program
Phase I - Preoperational Testing
Initial Startup Test Program
Phase II - Initial Fuel Loading and Zero Power Testing
Phase III - Low Power Physics Testing
Phase IV - Power Ascension Testing
Prior to preoperational testing of a particular system, certain prerequisite and construction tests were conducted in order to verify the integrity, proper installation, cleanliness, and functional operability of the system components.
14.2.1.1 Preoperational Test Program
The Preoperational Test Program is defined as that part of the Initial Test Program that commences with the completion of construction and construction-related inspections and tests and terminates with commencement of nuclear fuel loading.
The Preoperational Test Program included both safety-related and nonsafety-related preoperational tests. The Preoperational Test Program used a graded approach to determine the extent of testing to be performed. The safety-related preoperational tests (Table 14.2-1) demonstrated the capability of safety-related structures, systems, and components to meet performance requirements and to satisfy design criteria. The nonsafety-related preoperational tests (Table 14.2-2) were conducted on nonsafety-related systems and components to satisfy reliability and availability. Preoperational tests were conducted on those systems that:
14.2-1 Rev. 0 WOLF CREEK
- a. Are relied upon for safe shutdown and cooldown of the reactor under normal plant conditions and for maintaining the reactor in a safe condition for an extended shutdown period;
- b. Are relied upon for safe shutdown and cooldown of the reactor under transient and postulated accident conditions and for maintaining the reactor in a safe condition for an extended shutdown period following such conditions;
- c. Are relied upon for establishing conformance with safety limits or limiting conditions for operations that are included in the technical specifications;
- d. Are classified as engineered safety features actuation systems or are relied upon to support or ensure operation of engineered safety features actuation systems within design limits;
- e. Are assumed to function during an accident or for which credit is taken in the accident analysis;
- f. Are used to process, store, control, or limit the release of radioactive materials.
The objectives of the Preoperational Test Program were to:
- a. Verify that plant components and systems, including alarms and indications, are constructed and fulfill their design intent;
- b. Demonstrate, to the extent practicable, proper system/component response to postulated accidents;
- c. Familiarize plant staff operating, technical, and maintenance personnel with plant operation.
The completion of preoperational testing constituted the completion of Phase I of the Initial Test Program.
14.2.1.2 Initial Startup Test Program
The Initial Startup Test Program is defined as that part of the Initial Test Program that commences with the start of nuclear fuel loading and terminates with the completion of power ascension testing. The initial startup tests (Table 14.2-3) ensured that fuel loading was accomplished in a safe manner, confirmed the
14.2-2 Rev.0 WOLF CREEK
design basis, demonstrated, where practical, that the plant operates and responds properly to anticipated transients and postulated accidents, and ensured that the plant can be safely brought to rated capacity and sustained power operation.
The objectives of the Initial Startup Test Program were to:
- a. Accomplish a controlled, orderly, and safe initial core loading;
- b. Accomplish a controlled, orderly, and safe initial criticality;
- c. Conduct low power testing sufficient to ensure that design parameters are satisfied and safety analysis assumptions are conservative;
- d. Perform a controlled, orderly, and safe power ascension with testing terminating at plant rated conditions;
- e. Provide sufficient testing of transient and accident conditions to verify safe operation during transient or accident conditions.
The completion of initial startup testing constituted the completion of Phases II, III, and IV of the Initial Test Program.

Turnover was conducted in accordance with established administrative procedures.
As part of the turnover process, each safety-related system or subsystem received physical walkdowns to provide assurance of readiness for Startup testing and verification that installation requirements had been met.
Walkdowns were performed jointly by KG&E Startup and KG&E Construction personnel under the direction of the KG&E Construction Manager. Discrepancies identified during the walkdowns were tracked and resolved in accordance with established administrative and quality procedures.
The system or subsystem Turnover Package prepared by the constructor was reviewed by KG&E Construction and KG&E Startup personnel for accuracy, completeness and acceptability for Startup testing. In conjunction with the Turnover Package review, Startup personnel verified that the system or subsystem procurement and installation documentation review had been performed by Construction, and that discrepancies had been addressed. Acceptance of the Turnover Package by Startup followed satisfactory completion of the Turnover Package review. The Startup Manager was responsible for the approval and acceptance of the system or subsystem and the associated Turnover Package.
14.2-13 Rev. 0 WOLF CREEK
Individual components could be released to Startup for calibration, testing or temporary operation prior to turnover.
All components released in this manner were incorporated into the scope of a subsequent system or subsystem turnover.
14.2.4.3 Component and Prerequisite Testing
Upon Startup acceptance of a turned-over system, subsystem, or released component, prerequisite-type testing was performed to demonstrate proper operability and functional ability in support of, and prior to, the performance of preoperational testing. Local containment leak rate testing, as described in Section 14.2.12.2.13, was performed at WCGS as part of the prerequisite test program.
Administrative procedures were established to ensure that all prerequisites were met before testing was initiated. Upon completion of all prerequisite tests applicable to a system or subsystem, a documented review was conducted by Startup personnel to verify that appropriate documentation was able and that required prerequisite tests had been satisfactorily completed. All deficiencies which would prevent performance of preoperational tests or generate negative test results were identified and dispositioned prior to implementation of the preoperational tests.
14.2.4.4 Preoperational Testing
Technical direction and administration, including test execution and data recording, of the preoperational testing were the responsibility of the startup organization. The system startup engineers were responsible for the performance of tests and providing appropriate interface with station operators. The Startup Manager was responsible for the administration and surveillance of all testing activities during the preoperational test program.
14.2.4.5 Initial Startup Testing
During the initial startup testing phase, the Plant Manager had overall authority and responsibility for the startup program. The Startup Organization provided support to the plant operating staff which had responsibility for performing equipment operations and maintenance in accordance with the provisions of the plant operating license. The WCGS operating staff was also responsible for ensuring that the conduct of testing did not place the plant in an unsafe condition at any time.
The shift supervisors had the authority to terminate or disallow testing at any time.
14.2-14 Rev. 0 WOLF CREEK
14.2.4.6 Test Prerequisites
Each test procedure contained a set of prerequisites and initial conditions as prescribed by the startup administrative procedures. The system startup engineer ensured that all specified prerequisites were met prior to performing the test. The format for test procedures is described in Section 14.2.3.1.
14.2.4.7 Test Evaluation
Upon completion of system preoperational testing, the test results were submitted to the JTG for its review and subsequent recommendation for approval to the Startup Manager and Plant Manager.
Between each major phase of the initial startup test program, the test results for all tests that were performed were reviewed by the PSRC. This review ensured that all required systems were tested satisfactorily and that test results were approved before proceeding to the next stage of testing.
These reviews are described in Section 14.2.5.
14.2.4.8 Design Modifications
Modifications to the design of the equipment during the test program could be initiated in order to correct deficiencies discovered as a result of testing.
Any such modifications were either developed by the original design organization or other designated organizations. Modifications made to components or systems after completion of preoperational or initial startup testing were reviewed for retesting requirements on affected portions of the system.
14.2.5 REVIEW, EVALUATION, AND APPROVAL OF TEST RESULTS
The responsibility for review, evaluation, and recommendation for approval of test results from all preoperational tests rested with the JTG. In the case of all initial start-up tests, it rested with the PSRC.
Following completion of a preoperational test, the responsible system startup engineer assembled the test data package for submittal to the members of the JTG for evaluation. Each test data package was reviewed to ensure that the test has been performed in accordance with the approved procedure and that all required data, checks, and signatures were properly recorded and that system performance met the approved acceptance criteria.
14.2-15 Rev. 0 WOLF CREEK
Members of the JTG reviewed the evaluation findings and recommended corrective action to be taken to resolve any outstanding deficiencies. If the deficiencies were not resolved to the satisfaction of the JTG, then appropriate retesting was required. If the evaluation indicated that deficiencies in the test method were responsible for unsatisfactory test results, the test procedure was revised accordingly before retesting was initiated. The review and approval process for procedure revisions was carried out in the manner described in Section 14.2.3. Whenever an evaluation of test results indicated deficiencies in system performance, the JTG referred the problem to the responsible engineering organization for evaluation.
If the test documentation and system performance were acceptable, the JTG recommended approval of the test by the Startup Manager and the Plant Manager.
Following each major phase of the initial startup test program, the PSRC verified that all required tests were performed and that the test results were approved. This verification ensured that all required systems were operating properly and that testing for the next major phase was conducted in a safe and efficient manner. This type of review was performed to the extent required before major initial startup test phases such as fuel load, initial criticality, and power ascension. During the power ascension phase, review and approval of initial startup test procedure results was completed as described in KMLNRC-84-235.
14.2.6 TEST RECORDS
Test procedures and test data relating to preoperational and initial startup testing are retained in accordance with the measures described in the Quality Program Manual.
14.2.7 CONFORMANCE OF TEST PROGRAMS WITH REGULATORY GUIDES
The regulatory guides applicable to the test program are listed, with positions, in Appendix 3A, Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides.
14.2.8 UTILIZATION OF REACTOR OPERATING AND TESTING EXPERIENCE IN DEVELOPMENT OF TEST PROGRAMS
Available information on reactor operating experiences was utilized in the development of the Initial Test Program, as follows:
14.2-16 Rev. 21 WOLF CREEK
- a. Bechtel reviewed and distributed pertinent Licensee Event Reports for use in the development of preoperational test procedures as follows:
- 1. The Licensee Event Summary Reports and other pertinent information were reviewed on a periodic basis, and those reports deemed to be useful for updating test procedures and items of a generic nature were cataloged. A summary of these reports was distributed within Bechtel.
- 2. Copies of the specific reports were then made and distributed for use in the preparation of procedures. In addition, these reports were coded and filed in a computer retrieval system.
- b. The operating experience assessment for Wolf Creek Generating Station Unit No. 1 (WCGS) was conducted by the nuclear divisions and plant staff who possess the appropriate experience in the area of concern. The sources of operating experience information included the use of the NETWORK and the INPO/NSAC SEEIN system. An administrative system which controlled the flow of information from NETWORK, INPO/NSAC SEEIN, etc., to the cognizant organizations including the Independent Safety Engineering Group (ISEG) was developed and functioning prior to fuel load.
The Licensing Section was responsible for coordinating the review of the NRC Information and Enforcement (IE)
Bulletins, Circulars, and Information Notices.
The Startup Group reviewed information provided by the other KG&E Nuclear Divisions and information provided by Bechtel and Westinghouse to determine its effect on the Wolf Creek Initial Test Program, making revisions to test and administrative procedures as required.
An instrumented auxiliary feedwater water-hammer test was performed only at Wolf Creek. (This test was not required to be performed. It was being performed for the purpose of gathering engineering data only.) Procedure S-O3AL04, Auxiliary Feedwater System Water Hammer Test, required a visual and audible water hammer test and was completed prior to the issuance of an operating license. See new Section 14.2.12.1.10.
Procedure S-070017, Loss of Heater Drain Pump Test, was performed on Callaway only. This test was conducted to verify analytical assumptions. No additional loss of heater drain pump tests are
14.2-17 Rev. 0 WOLF CREEK
required, since the data obtained from the first unit test is equally valid for subsequent units. See Section 14.2.12.3.41.
Procedure S-07SF09 RCCA or Bank Worth Measurement at Power, was performed at 50 percent power only at Callaway. Wolf Creek and Callaway have the same core and Nuclear instrumentation system design and the test at Callaway is considered a prototypical test for Wolf Creek. This position was accepted by the NRC in a July 3, 1985 letter to KG&E.
A natural circulation test was performed at Callaway only to demonstrate the length of time to stabilize natural circulation, core flow distribution, and the ability to establish and maintain natural circulation. Operators participating in the tests were able to recognize when natural circulation had stabilized and were able to control saturation margin, RCS pressure, and heat removal rate without exceeding specified operating limits. These tests were conducted insofar as possible to include all available licensed operators.
Licensed operators were trained in these same areas on the simulator. The simulator has full capability of simulating natural circulation, using Westinghouse data initially. When the above tests were accomplished on the Callaway plant, actual data was incorporated into the Wolf Creek simulator program. See Chapter 18, item I.G.1, and Section 14.2.12.3.43.
14.2.9 TRIAL USE OF PLANT OPERATING AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
The plant operating procedures were utilized, where applicable during the test program, to support testing, maintain plant conditions, and facilitate training. The trial use of operating procedures served to familiarize operating personnel with systems and plant operation during the testing phase and also served to ensure the adequacy of the procedures under actual or simulated operating conditions before plant operation begins. The emergency procedures were verified during startup as plant conditions, testing, and training warrant. Surveillance tests were performed as conditions warrant during the testing program, to demonstrate their adequacy.
Plant operating procedures were developed in approximately the same time frame as the preparation of preoperational and initial startup tests. The operating procedures were revised as necessary to reflect experience gained during the testing program.
14.2.10 INITIAL FUEL LOADING, CRITICALITY, AND POWER ASCENSION
Prior to the commencement of fuel loading, required preoperational test procedures were evaluated, and appropriate remedial action
14.2-18 Rev. 0 WOLF CREEK
was taken if the acceptance criteria was not satisfied. At the completion of fuel loading, the reactor upper internals and pressure vessel head were installed, and additional mechanical and electrical tests were performed to prepare the plant for nuclear operation. After final precritical tests, nuclear operation of the reactor began. This phase of testing included initial criticality, low power testing, and power level ascension. The purpose of these tests was to establish the operational characteristics of the unit and core, to acquire data for the proper calibration of setpoints, and to ensure that operation is within license requirements. Section 14.2.12.3 summarizes the tests which are performed from fuel load to rated power. The fuel loading and post loading tests are described below.
14.2.10.1 Fuel Loading
The Plant Manager or his designated representative with technical assistance provided by Westinghouse, was responsible for the coordination of initial core loading. The overall process of initial core loading was, in general, directed from the operating floor of the containment structure by a licensed senior reactor operator. The licensed senior reactor operator had no additional responsibilities other than core load operations.
The core configuration was specified as part of the core design studies conducted well in advance of fuel loading. In the event mechanical damage was sustained during core loading operations to a fuel assembly of a type for which no spare was available onsite, an alternate core loading scheme could have been determined. Any such changes would have been approved by the appropriate Westinghouse personnel.
Core loading procedures specified the condition of fluid systems to prevent inadvertent changes in boron concentration of the reactor coolant; the movement of fuel to preclude the possibility of mechanical damage; the conditions under which loading could proceed; and the responsibility and authority for continuous and complete fuel and core component accountability.
The following conditions were met prior to core loading:
- a. The reactor containment structure was complete and containment integrity had been demonstrated.
- b. Fuel handling tools and equipment were checked out and operators familiarized in the use and operation of equipment. Inspections of fuel assemblies, rod cluster control assemblies, and reactor vessel were satisfactorily completed.
14.2-19 Rev. 0 WOLF CREEK
- c. The reactor vessel and associated components were in a state of readiness to receive fuel. The water level was maintained above the bottom of the nozzles and recirculation maintained to ensure the required boron concentration could be increased via the recirculation path or directly to the open vessel.
Criteria for safe loading required that loading operations stop immediately if any of the following conditions occur.
- a. An unanticipated increase in the neutron count rates by a factor of two occurs on all responding nuclear channels during any single loading step after the initial nucleus of eight fuel assemblies is loaded.
- b. An unanticipated increase in the count rate by a factor of five on any individual responding nuclear channel during any single loading step after the initial nucleus of eight fuel assemblies is loaded.
- c. An unanticipated decrease in boron concentration greater than 20 ppm is determined from two successive samples of the reactor coolant.
Loading operations could not be restarted until the situation was evaluated.
An alarm in the containment and main control room was coupled to the source range channels with a setpoint equal to or less than five times the current count rate. This alarm automatically alerts the loading operation personnel of high count rate, and an immediate stop of all operations would be required until the situation was evaluated. In the event the evacuation alarm was actuated during core loading and after it has been determined that no hazards to personnel exist, preselected personnel would be permitted to reenter the containment to evaluate the cause and determine future action.
The core was assembled in the reactor vessel and submerged in the reactor grade water containing sufficient dissolved boric acid to maintain a calculated core effective multiplication factor of 0.95 or lower. The refueling pool could be wet or dry during initial core loading. Core moderator, chemistry conditions (particularly boron concentration) were prescribed in the core loading procedure document and verified by chemical analysis of moderator samples taken prior to and during core loading operations.
At least two artificial neutron sources were introduced into the core at specified points in the core during the loading program to ensure a detector response of at least 2 counts per second attributable to neutrons.
14.2-20 Rev. 0 WOLF CREEK
Core loading instrumentation consisted of two permanently installed source range (pulse type) nuclear channels and two temporary incore source range channels. A third temporary channel could also be used as a spare. The permanent channels, when responding, were monitored in the main control room, and the temporary channels were installed and monitored in the containment. At least one permanent channel was equipped with an audible count rate indicator.
Both plant channels have the capability of displaying the neutron flux level on a strip chart recorder. The temporary channels indicated on scalers, and a minimum of one channel was recorded on a strip chart recorder. Normally minimum count rates of two counts per second attributable to core neutrons were required on at least two of the four (i.e. two temporary and two permanent source range detectors) available nuclear source channels at all times following installation of the initial nucleus of eight fuel assemblies. A response check of nuclear instruments to a neutron source was performed within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> prior to loading of the core, or upon resumption of loading if delay was for more than 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />.
Fuel assemblies, together with inserted components (control rod assemblies, burnable, poison assemblies, source spider, or thimble plugging devices) were placed in the reactor vessel one at a time, according to a previously established and approved sequence developed to provide reliable core monitoring with minimum possibility of core mechanical damage. The core loading procedure documents prescribed the successive movements of each fuel assembly and its specified inserts from its initial position in the storage racks to its final position in the core. Fuel assembly status boards were maintained throughout the core loading operation.
An initial nucleus of eight fuel assemblies, one containing a neutron source, is the minimum source-fuel nucleus which permitted subsequent meaningful inverse count rate monitoring. This initial nucleus was determined by calculation to be markedly subcritical (Keff 0.95) under the required conditions of loading.
Each subsequent fuel addition was accompanied by detailed neutron count rate monitoring to determine that the just-loaded fuel assembly did not excessively increase the count rate and that the extrapolated inverse count rate ratio was behaving as expected. These results for each loading step were evaluated before the next fuel assembly was loaded. The final, as loaded, core configuration was subcritical (Keff < 0.95) under the required loading conditions.
14.2-21 Rev. 0 WOLF CREEK
14.2.10.2 Initial Criticality
Prior to initial criticality, the following tests were performed and the results evaluated.
- a. At the completion of core loading, the reactor upper internals and pressure vessel head were installed. A pressure test was conducted after filling, and venting was completed to check the leaktightness of the vessel head installation.
- b. Mechanical and electrical tests were performed on the control rod drive mechanisms. These tests included a complete operational checkout of the mechanisms and calibration of the individual rod position indicators.
- c. Tests were performed on the reactor trip circuits to test manual trip operation, and actual control rod assembly drop times were measured for each control rod assembly. At all times that the control rod drive mechanisms were being tested, the boron concentration in the coolant was maintained so that the shutdown margin requirements specified in the Technical Specifications were met. During individual RCCA or RCC bank motion, source range instrumentation was monitored for unexpected changes in core reactivity.
- d. The reactor control and reactor protection systems were checked with simulated inputs to produce trip signals for various trip conditions.
- e. A functional electrical and mechanical check was made of the incore nuclear flux mapping system near normal operating temperature and pressure.
Initial criticality was achieved by a combination of shutdown and control bank withdrawal and reactor coolant system boron concentration dilution. The plant conditions, precautions, and specific instructions for the approach to criticality were specified by approved procedures.
Initially, the shutdown and control banks of control rods were withdrawn incrementally in the normal withdrawal sequence, leaving the last withdrawn control bank partially inserted in the core to provide effective control when criticality was achieved. The boron concentration in the reactor coolant system was reduced and criticality achieved by boron dilution or by subsequent rod withdrawal following boron dilution. Throughout this period, samples of the primary coolant were obtained and analyzed for boron concentration.
14.2-22 Rev. 0 WOLF CREEK
Inverse count rate ratio monitoring using data from the normal plant source range instrumentation was used as an indication of the proximity and rate of approach to criticality. Inverse count rate ratio data was plotted as a function of rod bank position during rod motion and as a function of reactor makeup water addition during reactor coolant system boron concentration reduction.
14.2.10.3 Low Power Testing
Following initial criticality, a program of reactor physics measurements was undertaken to verify that the basic static and kinetic characteristics of the core were as expected and that the values of the kinetic coefficients assumed in the safeguards analysis were conservative.
Procedures specified the sequence of tests and measurements to be conducted and the conditions under which each was performed in order to ensure both safety of operation and the validity and consistency of the results obtained. If test results deviated significantly from design predictions, if unacceptable behavior had been revealed, or if unexplained anomalies had developed, the plant would have been brought to a safe stable condition and the situation reviewed to determine the course of subsequent plant operation.
These measurements were made at low power and primarily at or near normal operating temperature and pressure. Measurements were made in order to verify the calculated values of control rod bank reactivity worths, the isothermal temperature coefficient under various core conditions, differential boron concentration reactivity worth, and critical boron concentrations as functions of control rod configuration. In addition, measurements of the relative power distributions were made, and concurrent tests were conducted on the instrumentation, including source and intermediate range nuclear channels.
Gamma and neutron radiation surveys were performed at selected points throughout the station. Periodic sampling was performed to verify chemical and radio-chemical analysis of the reactor coolant.
14.2.10.4 Power Level Ascension
After the operating characteristics of the reactor were verified by low power testing, a program of power level ascension brought the unit to its full rated power level in successive stages. At each successive stage, hold points were provided to evaluate and approve test results prior to proceeding to the next stage. The minimum test requirements for each successive stage of power ascension were specified in the initial startup test procedures.
14.2-23 Rev. 0 WOLF CREEK
Measurements were made to determine the relative power distribution in the core as functions of power level and control assembly bank position.
Secondary system heat balance measurements ensured that the indications of power level were consistent and provide bases for calibration of the power range nuclear channels. The ability of the reactor coolant system to respond effectively to signals from primary and secondary instrumentation under a variety of conditions encountered in normal operations was verified.
At prescribed power levels, the dynamic response characteristics of the primary and secondary systems were evaluated. System response characteristics were measured for design step load changes, rapid load reduction, and plant trips.
Adequacy of radiation shielding was verified by gamma and neutron radiation surveys at selected points throughout the station at various power levels.
Periodic sampling was performed to verify the chemical and radio-chemical analysis of the reactor coolant.
14.2.11 TEST PROGRAM SCHEDULE
Detailed schedules for testing were prepared, reviewed, and revised on a continuing basis as plant construction progressed.
Preoperational tests which were not performed according to schedule were reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Administrative procedures were established to ensure that all prerequisites were met before testing was initiated. Upon completion of all prerequisite tests applicable to a system or subsystem, a documented review was conducted by Start-up personnel to verify that appropriate documentation was available and that required prerequisite tests were satisfactorily completed. All deficiencies which would have prevented performance of preoperational tests or generated negative test results were identified and dispositioned prior to implementation of the preoperational tests.
Preoperational testing was scheduled to commence approximately 18 months prior to fuel loading. The preoperational tests were performed and sequenced during this period as a function of system turnover, system interrelationships, and acceptance for testing.
Initial startup testing was scheduled to be conducted over a period of approximately 3 to 5 months, commencing with fuel loading. The sequential schedule for initial startup tests ensured, insofar as practicable, that test requirements were completed
14.2-24 Rev. 0 WOLF CREEK
prior to exceeding 25-percent power for all plant structures, systems, and components that are relied upon to prevent, limit, or mitigate the consequences of postulated accidents.
The development of the test procedures was an ongoing process consisting of preparation, review, and revision. Preoperational test procedures were available for NRC review approximately 60 days prior to the performance of an individual test. If an individual test procedure was not available 60 days prior to the test, the NRC was notified of the test date and the date the test procedure was available. Initial startup test procedures were available for NRC review at least 60 days prior to fuel loading.
14.2.12 INDIVIDUAL TEST DESCRIPTIONS
