NOV 121985
.-Georgia Power Company A TTN: Mr. R. J. Kelly Executive Vice President P. O. Box 4545 Atlanta, GA 30302 Gentlemen:
SUBJECT: : REPORT NOS. 50-321/85-24 AND 50-366/85-24 Thank you for your response of October 21, 1985, to our Notice of Violation issued on September 19, 1985, concerning activities conducted at your Hatch facility.
We have evaluated your response and found that it meets the require-ments of 10 CFR 2.201.
We will examine the implementation of your corrective actions during future inspections.
In regard to the question asked in your response to violation 1, as to whether or not the intentional manual starting of an engineered safety feature (ESF)
constitutes an ESF actuation, we make reference to 10 CFR 50.72 (b)(2)(ii),
10CFR50.73(a)(2)(iv),andNUREG-1022. These references all state in part, that any event or condition that results in manual or automatic actuation of any ESF requires reporting unless it results from, and is part of the preplanned sequence during testing or reactor operation.
The initiation of an ESF, whether by its associated ESF logic or manual start circuit, constitutes an ESF actuation.
Therefore, the intentional (preplanned) manually starting of an ESF, although considered an ESF actuation, would not be reportable. Conversely, the unintentional manual actuation of the IC diesel generator discussed in violation 1, is an ESF actuation that required reporting.
Should you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact us.
Sincerely,
-
