be used as acceptance criteria. g. Data Collection The test procedure should prescribe the data to be collected and the form in which the data are to be recorded. All entries should be permanent. The administrative controls should include an acceptable method for correcting an entry. h. Detailed Procedures Detailed step by step procedures should be provided for each test. To the extent practical, the test procedures should use approved normal plant operating procedures. Each procedure should require necessary nonstandard arrangements to be restored to their normal status after the test is completed. Control measures such as jumper logs and check off lists should be specified. Nonstandard bypasses, valve configurations, and instrument settings should be identified and highlighted for return to normal. Nonstandard arrangements should be carefully examined to ensure that temporary arrangements do not invalidate the test by interfering with proper testing of the as built system. i. Documentation of Test Results Records should identify each observer and/or data recorder participating in the test, as well as the type of observation, identifying numbers of test or measuring equipment, results, acceptability, and action taken to correct any deficiencies. Administrative procedures should specify the retention period of test result summaries and should require permanent retention of documented summaries and evaluations. Appendix C to DG-1259, Page C-5 C-2. Fuel Loading This section provides guidance on typical information to be included in the detailed fuel loading procedure. a. Prerequisites for Fuel Loading 1. Specify the composition, duties, and emergency procedure responsibilities of the fuel handling crew including plans for completion of fuel loading milestones. 2. Test the radiation monitors, nuclear instrumentation, manual initiation, and other devices and verify that they are operable to actuate the building evacuation alarm and ventilation control. 3. Specify the
