SAFETY EVALUATION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALIFICATION OF SAFETY-RELATED ELECTRICAL EQUIPPMENT Re:
Oconee Nuclear Station, Units Nos. 1, 2 and 3 This letter transmits our Safety Evaluation (SE) along with the Technical Evaluation Reports (TERs) for the Environmental Qualification of Safety-Related Electrical Equipment at your facility. This evaluation is based on your response to our previous SE, dated May 22, 1981 and subsequent submittals dated Septenber 18, 1981, February 10, March 16 and 23, April 30 and June 1, 1982.
The Safety Evaluation presents the results of the Environmental Qualification Review for safety-related electrical equipment, exposed to a harsh environment, in accordance with NRC requirements.
You should provide to us by May 20, 1983, your plans for qualification or replacement of the equipnont in NRC Cateqories I.,
II.A and IV as applicable to your plant (presented in the enclosed Technical Evaluation Reports) in addition to the justification for continued oneration (,JCP) required in the near tern, and the schedule for accomplishing your proposed corrective actions in accordance with the Equipnent Qualification rule (10 CFR 50.49(g) issued on January 21, 1983, Federal Register Volunes 48, No.
15, PP 2729-2734).
As indicated in the conclusion section of the Safety Evaluation, we request that you reaffirm the justification for continued operation and within thirty (30) days of receipt of this letter, submit information for items in NRC Categories I.R, II.A and IV (oresented in the enclosed Technical Evaluation Renorts) for which justification for continued operation was not previously submitted to the NRC.
Should issues or conflicts exist, which prohihit a response in a timely manner, a 10 CFR Part 50.54(f) letter will be issued.
Guidelines set forth in paragraph (i) of 10 CFR 50.49 should be considered in your justification for continued operation of your facility.
Upon completion of the plant specific review for all plants, a cross-refer ence of non-qualified equipment existing in any plant will be conducted by the NRC staff to determine if the same equipmont exists on other plants and has been declared qualified.
Should the cross-reference indicate that they do exist in your plant, the staff will contact you to reconfirm the n'1 I F ifi

Mr. H. 6. Tucker
-2 Appendix D of the enclosed TERs provide a technical review of your statements regarding the justification for continued operation (JCO) that was submitted in the 90-day response to our May 22, 1981 staff SE. Appendix D is not neces sarily applicable to the deficiencies identified in the enclosed TERs. You should review all JCOs provided to date to ensure that a JCO exists for all equipment which may not be qualified.
As a separate action to your response to this letter, the Commission has promulgated an Equipment Oualification rule which in Paragraph (g) of the rule requires that by May 20, 1983, licensees identify electrical equipment important to safay-within the scope of the rule that is already qualified, and submit a schedule for the qualification or replacement of the remaining electric equipment within the scope of the rule in accordance with the qualification deadline specified in paragraph (g).
The submittal required by the rule should specifically indicate whether your previous submittals comply with paragraphs (a) and (b) of 10 CFR 50.49. In addition, you are requested to discuss the methods used to identify the equipment covered by paragraph 10 CFR 50.49(b) (2) and to establish any qualification programs not previously described for such equipment. This rule now specifies the requirements the staff intends to use in resolving the EQ program.
The TERs contain certain identified information which you have previously claimed to be proprietary. We request that you inform us as indicated in the proprietary review section of the SE whether. any portions of the identified pages still require proprietary protection. It should be noted that the NRC's policy on proprietary information, as specified in SECY 81-119 is that summary data on equipment qualification testing will not be treated as proprietary by the NRC. This information shall be submitted within thirty (30) days of receipt of this letter.
Questions regarding the enclosed SE and TE~s, especially the findings and actions required, should be directed through the NRC Project Nanager for the Oconee Units.
Si ncerely, John F. Stolz, Chief Operating Reactors Branch #4 Division of Licensing
