Licensee Action on Previous Inspection Findings (0 pen) Unresolved Item 50-333/83-10-02: The licensee developed and re-vised Plant Standing Order No. PS0 31 to govern pump and valve inservice test data evaluation and trend analysis. The inspector reviewed this procedure and the trend analyses. Based on this review (which is described further in Section 3.5 of this report), this item will remain ope (0 pen) Unresolved Item 50-333/83-10-03: The licensee had agreed to es-tablish a limiting value of full stroke time for all power operated valves as required by IWV-3410(C) of ASME Section XI, Rules for Inservice Inspection of Nuclear Power Plant Components. At this time the licensee has all the power operated valves accounted for but not all valves have tested to date. This item will remain open pending NRC review of the test data.

3.2 Scope of Review The inspector reviewed the above documents to ascertain compliance

'

with 10 CFR 50.55a(g) which requires Inservice testing (IST) of i pumps and valves in accordance with Section XI of the ASME Boiler '

and Pressure Vessel Code. A major portion of this review was j evaluation of the licensee's IST program with respect to procedures,

conduct of test, and analysis of results.

! 3.3 Procedure Review I

! The inspector reviewed the surveillance procedures listed in Para-

+

graph 3.1 for technical adequacy and to ascertain compliance with requirements of Technical Specifications, Section XI of the ASME

, Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, and 10 CFR 50.55a. During the review '.

process the inspector noted that the surveillance procedures do not

.

specify the ranges of acceptance criteria (allowable, alert and required action range) so that the operator could analyze the results 3 of the test immediately upon completion. The licensee agreed to add j the various limits to each procedure. The inspector had no further questions at this tim .4 Test Witnessing On October 22, 1985, the inspector witnessed the High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI) surveillance test. The test was being conducted in accordance with approved procedure F-ST-48, HPCI Flow Rate /HPCI Pump

,

'

Operability /HPCI Valve Operability Test (ISI)*, Revision 20. The surveillance test was conducted in two parts; for technical specif-g ication requirements and for Inservice Testing requirements. The

'

i inspector observed the performance of the test to ascertain that the prerequisites were met, the proper precautions were taken, the

'

instrumentation used for the test had the required calibration stickers, and the operator involved in performing the test was knowledgeable of the procedure and its requirements. The inspector did note that the operator performing the test was not reviewing the data to see if the i

IST results were acceptable during the test. This is discussed further i below.

3.5 IST Results Evaluation The inspector reviewed individual data sheets and trend reports for a sample of the tests listed in Section 3.1. The inspector also discussed analyses of the test results with the ISI coordinato During the review process the inspector noted that, on the average, the IST data took 5 to 6 days for final review by the ISI coordinato The ISI coordinator related that the data should also be reviewed by operations during or just after testing. In reviewing a sample of the test reports three different examples were pointed out to the licensee where operations did not review the data immediately upon completion. They were as follows:

--

F-ST-2A - RHR Pump Flow Rate Test, Revision 11. On October 14, 1985. The AP limit (pump suction-to-discharge) was exceeded during the test and operations stated the test met the acceptance criteria. This also occurred on October 17, 198 F-ST-2R - RHR Service Water Pump and MOV Operability Test,

-Revision 10. The AP limit was exceede l

--

F-ST-48-HPCI Flow Rate /HPCI Pump Operability /HPCI Valve Operabi-lity, Revision 20. On May 31, 1985 the AP limit was exceeded and operations was notified by the ISI coordinator on June 10, 198 All other test data, such as flow rates, discharge pressures, tempera-tures and vibration measurements met acceptance criteria for these test The inspector pointed out'the problems, with acceptance limits to the licensee who agreed to add the limits to the test procedures as an aid to eliminate any problems in the review process. This item will remain unresolved as stated in Section 2 (Item 50-333/83-10-02) pend- ,

i ing procedure revisions with ranges of acceptance criteri '

4.0 QA/QC Involvement

.During the review of the IST program, the inspector interviewed the QA department personnel to verify QA involvement. The inspector noted that

'

, there are approximately 260 surveillance test procedures and, since 1977, the QA department department has witnessed or audited 62 tests. Based on the number of times these tests are ??rformed, this is a low percentag Of the 62 tests witnessed only 5 vare > art of the IST program. The QA department has agreed to incrc2rc tb< audit program coverage- to 10% of the technical specification v7 1;t 1 u veillance procedures per year. The inspector had no further questions at this tim .
