13.4.3 Establishment of Commissioning Documentation
For each system, a Commissioning Specification document (CSO) was prepared to define the
design and analysis requirements that had to be demonstrated during physical commissioning
checks and tests The Commissioning procedures were prepared at three levels of detail: Level 2
(CP2) and 3 (CP3) procedures defined the overall program, interfaces and logic, and Level 4
(CP4) defined the detailed procedures to execute fieldwork. CP4 procedures were deliberately
prepared at a higher level of detail than at other stations in order to increase the level of
procedural compliance in the largely inexperienced commissioning execution groups. In
addition, 135 Standard Commissioning Procedures (SCPs) were prepared to cover repetitive type
of checks on mechanical, electrical and I&C equipment. The Work Plans (WPs) covered more
complex tests where several systems were involved. Work Requests (WR) were issued to allow
each work package to be scheduled and implemented in the field by the execution teams and to
provide feedback to the system engineers along with a report of the work done. Once the
fieldwork was done and results assessed, the System Engineers prepared a Commissioning
Report (CRP) to formally document the results by comparing them against the acceptance criteria
specified in the CSO document. Finally, the status of commissioning for each system was
reviewed to ensure that the system would meet the technical and performance requirements for
each of the 14 Commissioning Control Points (CCP). Table 13-1 shows the commissioning and
operating documentation prepared for Unit 1.
