st program and the methods for effecting changes to approved test procedures. iv. The controls that the applicant uses to ensure that the test prerequisites are met should include requirements for (1) inspections, checks, and similar controls, (2) identification of test personnel completing data forms or checksheets, and (3) identification of dates of completion. Each major phase of the test program as well as individual tests should satisfy these requirements. v. The staff will find that the controls provided for plant modification and repairs, identified as a result of plant testing, are acceptable if the controls (1) are sufficient to ensure that the required repairs or modifications will be made, (2) will ensure retesting is conducted following such modifications or repairs, and (3) will ensure a review of any proposed facility modifications by the original design organization or other designated design organizations. The applicant’s requirements for documentation associated with such controls should permit audits to be conducted to ensure its proper implementation. C. Test Program Schedule and Sequence i. The applicant should develop a schedule for conducting each major phase of the ITP. ii. The schedule should establish that the safety of the plant will not depend on the performance of untested SSCs. iii. Overlapping test program schedules (for multiunit sites) should not result in significant divisions of responsibilities or dilutions of the staff implementing the test program. iv. The sequential schedule for individual startup tests should establish that test requirements will be completed in accordance with plant technical specification requirements for SSC operability before changing plant modes. 14.2-6 Revision 3 - March 2007 D.
