April 19, 1988 Docket Nos. 50-361 and 50-362 Mr. Kenneth P. Baskin, Mr. Gary D. Cotton Vice President Senior Vice President Southern California Edison Company Engineering and Operations 2244 Walnut Grove Avenue San Diego Gas and Electric Company Post Office Box 800 101 Ash Street Rosemead, California 91770 Post Office Box 1831 San Diego, California 92112
SUBJECT:
PROPOSED CHANGE TO TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION 3/4.3.3, "MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION," PCN 232 - SAN ONOFRE UNITS 2 AND 3 (TAC NOS. 66818 AND 66819)
Gentlemen:
By letter dated December 14, 1987 you proposed a change to the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) Units 2 and 3 Technical Specification 3/4.3.3, "Monitoring Instrumentation," which would revise the frequency of the Incore Detection System Channel Check from 7 days to 31 effective full power days.
The staff has reviewed your request and has concluded that there are no plant unique characteristics of SONGS 2 or 3 which would justify deviation from the Incore Detection System Operability Requirements specified in the Standard Technical Specifications. In addition, we do not consider the reported error introduced by a single soft (undetected) detector failure to be insignificant.
The degree of compromise to measurement quality which is acceptable is a judgment which should be considered generically. Therefore, we are rejecting your request for extension of surveillance intervals at this time. However, the staff will give further consideration to the proposed change if it is submitted as a generic change to the Standard Technical Specifications.
If you have any questions regarding this action, please contact me.
Sincerely, original signed by Donald Hickman 180502oo 880414 PDR ADOCK 05000361 P
