FENOC Perry Nuclear Power Plant to_______
10 Center Road FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company Perry, Ohio 44081 Wiliarn R KandF 440-280-5579 Vice President - Nuclear Fax 440-280-8029 December 15, 2003 PY-CEI/NRR-2746L United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555 Perry Nuclear Power Plant Docket No. 50-440 Oscillation Power Range Monitor Operability Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter provides the Perry Nuclear Power Plant (PNPP) response to the September 30, 2003 Boiling Water Reactor Owners' Group (BWROG) letter (Serial BWROG-03049) regarding Oscillation Power Range Monitor (OPRM) operability.
PNPP currently complies with the interim corrective actions as required by Technical Specifications 3.3.1.3. Although the OPRM's are administratively inoperable, the OPRM's are capable of causing a scram. The scram setpoints were developed for Operating Cycle 9 using the generic setpoint methodology as outlined in NEDO-32465-A.
The proposed plan for restoring the operability of the OPRM's is as follows:
- 1. Contract General Electric to perform the Operating Cycle 10 Specific Setpoint Analysis. It is anticipated that this action will be completed by June 30, 2004.
As part of this activity, General Electric has been requested to review and compile known issues associated with the OPRM setpoint methodology I OPRM setpoints (several General Electric potential reportable concerns and/or 10 CFR 21 reports), and to provide within the PNPP specific setpoint analysis resolution of the issues.
- 2. Update the PNPP OPRM setpoint calculation. It is anticipated that this action will be completed by July 30, 2004.
- 3. Update various calibration instructions and implement setpoints. It is anticipated that this action will be completed by September 30, 2004.
- 4. Subsequent to the completion of the above items, the OPRM's will be declared operable. It is anticipated that this action will be completed by September 30, 2004.
December 15, 2003 PY-CEI/NRR-2746L Page 2 of 2 The proposed plan is being submitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for information.
The planned activities are not considered to be regulatory commitments.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Mr. Vemon K. Higaki, Manager - Regulatory Affairs, at (440) 280-5294.
