ENCLOSLlRE STAFF POSITION (Revised)
It has come to our attention that some applicants did not intend to conduct confirmatory tests o'f some distribution systems and transformers supplying power to vital buses as required by Position 3 of Regulatory Guide 1.68, and more specifically by Part 4 of the staff position on degraded grid voltage (applied to all plants in licensing review by the Power Systems Branch since 1976).
Part 4 of the degraded grid voltage position states as follows:
P "4.
The voltage levels at the safety-related buses should be optimized for the full load and minimum load conditions that are expected throughout the anticipated range of voltage variations of the offsite power source by appropriate adjustment of the voltage tap settings of 'the intervening transformers.
We require that the adequacy of the design in this regard be verified 1
by actual measurement and by correlation of measured values with analysis results, Provide a description of the method for making this verification; before initial reactor power o'peration, provide the documentation required to establish that this verification has
'een accomplished."
Your test description in FSAR Chapter 14-does not contain sufficient detail for us to determine if you intend to conduct such a test.
It is our position that confirmatory tests of all vital buses must be conducted including all sources of power supplies to 'the buses Modify your test description to indicate that this testing will be conducted in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.68 and the above cited'osition.
