    2.  Document Control Program
        The document control program was examined for conformance with Technical
        Specifications, regulatory requirements, and licensee commitments.
        The inspection included a verification that administrative controls have
        been established for drawings to ensure current as-built drawings,
        including piping and instrumentation diagrams (P& ids) are provided to the
        plant site in a timely manner. Administrative Order A0-5-2, " Drawing
        Document Chan'ges", dated June 26, 1985, Revision 4 provides the necessary
        controls for obsolete drawings,. ensures that discrepancies found between
        as-built drawings and as-constructed facility are handled'as design
        changes, and assigns responsibilities in writing.
        The inspector verified that a master index is maintained for drawings,
        manuals, Technical Specifications, FSARs, and procedures. Administrative
        Order A0-4-3, " Responsibilities", dated December 28, 1984 Revision 13
        provides the mechanism for this issuance and distribution, and assigns
        specific responsibilities in writing for the maintenance of the Plant
        Operating Manual.(POM) and assigns volume responsibility. Administrative
        Order A0-4-5, " Procedure Reviews", dated March 21, 1984, Revision 10
        provides that each POM procedure, checkoff list, instruction and test
        shall be periodically reviewed no less frequently than every two years.
        This technical review is the-responsibility of the supervisor assigned to
        the particular volume of the POM as detailed in A0-4-3,
        " Responsibilities".
                                                                                  .)
        The inspector verified that the effective revision master lists are
        reviewed quarterly and POM binders are reviewed annually.
        The inspector selected several procedures and drawings from the site
        master file, control room copies, and the Technical Support Center (TSC)
        copies for verification with the master revision index. The inspection
        included a review of the following procedures and diagrams as listed by

            The inspection results of the Trojan document control program were as
            follows:
            a.    Administrative Order 8-13 Revision 3, Pages 1 and 2 were misfiled
                  into A0-8-3, Revisio 14, Pages 1 and 2 in the Shift Supervisor's
                  Copy. The inspector contacted the Office Supervisor and she
                  immediately corrected the misfiling. The inspector verified that
                  the control rooms cc py was correct. No other misfiling was noted in
                  any controlled documents or drawings in the Site Master File,
                  Control Room Copy, or the Technical Support Center Copy.
            b.    The inspector review of the Technical Support Center and the Site
                  Master File docume'nts verified that the copies were consistent (same
                  revision) with the master revision index.
            No violations or deviations were identified.
                .
        3.  Tist and Measurement Equipment Program
            The test and measurement equipment program was examined for conformance
            with Technical Specifications, regulatory requirements, and licensee
            commitments.
            The inspection included a verification that administrative controls for                                '
  ,
            test and measurement equipment calibration / adjustment frequency have been
            established. Maintenance Procedure MP-2-2, " Portable Measuring and Test
            Equipment", dated March 27, 1985, Revision 3 provides a procedure for
            ensuring that portable measuring and test equipment (M&TE) are properly
            controlled and calibrated at specific periods to maintain accuracy within
            prescribed limits. Table 1 of MP-2-2 provides an equipment inventory
            list which identifies the following:
            a.    All test and measurement equipment which will be used on
                  safety-related structures, systems, or components.
            b.    The. calibration / functional check interval for each piece of
                  equipment.

                    shall be identified. The validity of these calibrations and tests
                    should be determined, and if necessary, the tests and calibrations
                    should be repeated using properly calibrated equipment. This
                    procedure conducts an investigation or evaluation of the cause of
                    out-of-calibration.
                    The inspector verified that a formal system have been established to
                    assure that new M&TE will be added to the inventory list and
                    calibrated prior to being placed in service. Procedure MP-2-2
                    Paragraph 6-1, procurement and acceptance of M&TE, describes the
                    procurement process of M&TE as initiated by the plant supervisor for
                    new purchases and replacement purchases for worn out or missing
                    M&TE.
                    The inspector performed a review of Trojan Nuclear Plant's                        i
                    Measurement standards calibration data as maintained by the I&C
                    Department. The ten measurement standards reviewed were
                    satisfactory in that the M&TE was maintained, calibrated, and issued
                    in accordance with MP-2-2.
                    No violations or deviations were identified.
;        4.    Licensee Event Report Review
              Licensee Event Report (LER) 85-08 describes an inadvertent safety
              injection that occurred on June 30,1985, at 11:45 PDT while performing
              surveillance testing on the ' reactor protection system in accordance with
              periodic instrument and control test (PICT) 10-1, " Reactor Projection
              Systems". The two out of three logic criteria for a low pressurizer
l              pressure safety injection (SI) were established due to a procedural
l              deficiency.
i
j.            Action was taken in accordance with the licensee's emergency instructions
l              and the SI was reset without blocking the low pressurizer pressure signal
j              due to a procedural deficiency in the emergency instructions and the SI
              reinitiated at 11:57 PDT. The licensee is taking action to revise
              PICT 10-1 and the emergency instruction EI-0.3, "SI Termination Following
              Spurious SI" and is evaluating the administrative control of instrument
;              and control (I&C) system testing.
1
,              The licensee's cause of occurrence was~ partially attributed to deficient
'
              procedures, in particular, PICT 10-1 did not specify which reactor trip
              inputs would have to be removed when shutdown in order to operate the
              reactor trip breakers. The maintenance and operations personnel
              incorrectly determined that the pressurizer pressure signal would have to
              be simulated because they did not recognize that this trip is blocked
              below 10 percent reactor power.    PICT 10-1 was written to be performed
              while the plant is operating.    Procedure El-0.3 was deficient in that it
              did not require the operator to ensure the signal which caused the
              inadvertent SI was blocked or removed as necessary before resetting the
              SI circuitry.
              The inspector interviewed management, maintenance, and operational
              personnel regarding the significance of this event with regard to

                                                                                .
      c. The serial number and Trojan number for each piece of equipment.
        The inspector verified that formal requirements exist for marking
        the latest inspection / calibration date on each piece of equipment.
        Procedure MP-2-2, Paragraph 6.4.8 calibration stickers and tags,
        requires: calibration stickers' be pla'ced on equipment calibrated by
        the Trojan I&C calibration laboratory. This label denotes that the
        instrument was fully and completely calibrated and meets the
        approved specifications. The calibration sticker is white with
        black print and indicates date calibrated, date calibration due, and
        initial of person performing calibration.
        The inspector verified that a system has been provided for assuring
        that each piece of equipment is calibrated and adjusted on or before
        the date required. Accordingly, Procedure MP-2-2 paragraph 6.4.6
        calibration schedule and interval, requires that the Instrument and
        Control (I&C) Department maintain a schedule for the M&TE covering
        both calibrations and functional checks.      In general, M&TE is on a
        periodic calibration schedule, which is scheduled monthly by use of
        a computer system that Trojan realizes has been a prrblem for some
        time. PGE's quality assurance program has an outstanding program
        audit finding; nama y Loop-1136, which identified discrepancies
        betwee the completed I&C Test Instrument Calibration Data Sheets
        and the completed monthly computer schedules. This item will remain
        open pending implementation of the new computer maintenance
        scheduling system scheduled for the end of August 1985 (Follow-up
        item 85-23-01).
,        The inspector verified that a written requirement is established        I
!        which prohibits the use of test and measuring equipment which has
        not been calibrated within the prescribed frequency and describes
        controls to prevent inadvertent use of such equipment.      Procedure
        MP-2-2, Paragraph 2, responsibility, provides the responsibility of
        the users of M&TE to ensure that a piece of M&TE is not used after      l
        its calibration due date and to ensure that any malfunctions or          i
        suspected malfunctions are reported to the I&C test equipment
        technician promptly so that the equipment can be removed from
        service and repaired. The procedure MP-2-2 also describes that it
        is each supervisor's responsibility to ensure that each M&TE is made
;        available for calibration prior to its due date. These controls
        ensure that M&TE is calibrated prior to use or puts the equipment
        into the calibration program if out of calibration.
                                                                                  1
        The inspector verified that out-of-calibration ccatrols are
        established which require when a piece of equipment is found to be
        out-of-calibration, the acceptability of items previously tested or
;
        measured will be evaluated and documented.      Inaddition,pn
        evaluation of the cause of out-of-calibration will be pet formed.
        Procedure MP-2-2, Paragraph 6.4.9.8, test equipment
        out-of-calibration investigation, describes that an investigation
        shall be performed whenever M&TE is found to exceed required
        calibration tolerance or that has been subjected to possible damage,
,        or to be non-functional. This action could be the result of an
'
        offsite calibration, onsite calibration, or other event. All

          personnel error.  This inspector felt that since PICT 10-1 did not give
          specific guidance in order to operate the trip breakers but rather a
          general NOTE in which it was stated that it may be necessary to remove
          reactor trip inputs in order to operate the trip breakers; a procedural
          deviation should have been generated. Administrative Order (AO) 4-2,
          "Use of Procedures" provides for deviations in which they are temporary
          and "on-the-spot" changes to or departures from approved plant operating
          manual procedures that do not change the intent of the procedure. This
          deviation from (Attachment A of A0-4-2) would have allowed the
          maintenance ind operations personnel to have had another authority check
          the operation for resetting the trip breakers. Without this additional
          check, the operations and maintenance personnel incorrectly determined
          that they needed pressurizer pressure signal to be simulated.    The
          inspector realizes that FICT 10-1 and EI-0.3 were in error and that the
          LERs corrective action concerning those issues will help prevent
          reoccurrence of the event. The inspector will leave this item as an
          unresolved item and will review the licensee's actions concerning
          personnel error at a later inspectica (85-23-02).
        5. Unresolved Items
          An unresolved item is a matter about which more information is required
          in order to ascettain whether it is an acceptable item, an open item, a
          (*viation, or a violation.
        6. Exit Interview
          The inspector met with the licensee representatives denoted in
          paragraph 1 on August 2,1985, and summarized the scope and findings of
          the inspection activities.
