ENCLOSURE 032.50 (3.12)
(7.1.2.5.8)
(7.1.2.6.16)
Regulatory Guide 1.75 and IEEE Standard 384-1974 on Criteria for Separation of Class IE Equipment and Cir-cuits do not apply to SSES because they were issued after the CP.
Separations criteria for safety related mechanical and electrical equipment are described in 3.12.
Specific exceptions to RG 1.75 are identified in 3.13 for non-NSSS equipment, but no similar list is supplied for NSSS equipment.
A brief, general discussion is contained in 7.1.2.5.8.
Identify all specific exceptions to RG 1.75 and IEEE 384-1977 for NSSS equipment and justify each.

P 032.51 (7.2.1'.1.4.2)
(Table.7.6-5)
Discussion of the APRM system on page 7.2-5 indicates the maximum setpoint is 125K reactor power.
Table 7.6-5 lists the nominal APRH setpoint as 120% and the range as 2X of full scale.
This setpoint is significant for the accident analysis in 15.0.
Discussion of the APRN system on page 7.2-5 indicates the maximum setpoint is 125% reactor power, but table 7.6-5 lists the nominal setpoint as 120% with a, range of 25 of full scale.
Clarify this discrepancy and identify the maximum setpoint for accident analysis.

(7.2.1.2.2)
(7,C,t,Z,S,)
(7.Z,1,2,6}'able 7.2-4, Design Basis Setpoints, was deleted in Revision ll.
Several sections still refer to data con-tained in that table.
Several references are made to design basis setpoints previously listed in Table 7.2-4.
This table has been intentionally left blank.
Please clarify this discrepancy.
032.53, (7.2.2.1.2.4.4)
(Table 7.2-5)
Section 7.2.1.1.4.8 (Testability) states, "During preoperational testing the sensors are tested using an accepted industry method and actual response time data are compared to design requirements for acceptance".
Section 7.2.2.1.4.4 (BTP 24) states in part that the sensor response time test method has not been resolved for neutron monitoring system (APRN and IRN) and main steamline radiation monitoring trip points.
question 032.32 asks for a description of the Startrek computer system which is used for startup testing.
The question also asks for separation criteria for permanent and temporary wire as well as specifications of qualification testing of electrical isolators.
This question, directed at 7.3 only, has not been answered.
The discussion of compliance with BTP 24 is incomplete.
Describe methods to be used to perform periodic response time tests of RPS system to verify design specifications are met.
Identify all specific exceptions to RG 1.118
and IEEE 338-1977.
Describe separation criteria for permanent and temporary wiring and describe the qualification tests for electrical insulators.
