.# Purpose of Meeting & Expected Outcome

" Meeting Purpose

> Provide NRC with an understanding of proposed Oconee Tech Specs and the reason for retaining separate Tech Specs for RPS and ES

" Expected Outcome C

Common understanding of Oconee design and proposed Tech Specs

> Agreement on structure of proposed Tech Specs for RPS and ES 3

Duke Oconee RPS/ES Energy Digital Design o;- The digital RPS will be functionally equivalent to the analog system it replaces o:. The digital ESPS will be functionally equivalent to the analog system it replaces o:. The modification adds a redundant set of ESPS A, B and C channels that share processors with RPS channels A, B and C 4

• o Other potential changes are under consideration 8

kDuke Discussionof Proposed Energy Tech-Spec Changes o:o The digital RPS and ESPS are functionally equivalent to the analog systems they replace o:o There are two redundant sets of ESPS channels, only one of which is required to be operable

• . One set of ESPS channels (A, B, and C) shares processors with RPS channels A, B, and C

• • Changes to Tech Specs are minor - extending CTs and surveillance intervals 9

SDuke Discussionof Proposed 01 4WEnergy Tech Spec Changes (continued) o:o Retaining separate RPS and ESPS Tech Specs reduces operator burden associated with implementation o:o An inoperable RPS/ESPS processor will require entry into RA for RPS Tech Spec

• o An inoperable RPS/ESPS processor would only require entry into RA for the ESPS Tech Spec if the other redundant set is inoperable o:o An inoperable RPS or ESPS sensor on an RPS and ESPS channel sharing a processor would require entry into the Tech Spec associated with the inoperable sensor o:o An inoperable processor on the standalone ESPS set of channels would only require entry into the ESPS Tech Spec if the other redundant set is inoperable o:o TSAIL used for tracking inoperable Tech Spec components 10
