SUBJECT:

SAFETY EVALUATION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL IlUALIFICATIOH OF SAFETY-RELATED ELECTRICAL E(UIPMEHT RE:

St. Lucie Plant, Unit Ho.

1 This letter transmits the Safety Evaluation with attached Technical Evaluation Report (TER) for the Environmental gualification of Safety-Related Electrical Equipment at your facility.

This evaluation is based on your responses to our previous Safety Evaluation issued on May 29, 1981, and subsequent submittals dated September 30, 1981, August 5, 1982 and September 30, 1982.

The Safety Evaluation presents the results of the Environmental qualfficatfon Review for safety-related electrical equipment, exposed to a harsh environment, in accor-dance with HRC requirements.

You should provide to us by Ikay 20, 1983, your plans for qualification or replacement of the equipment fn HRC Categories I.B, II.A, II.B and IV as applicable to your plant (presented in the Technical Evaluation Report) in addition to the justffication f'r continued operation

{JCO) required in the near term, and the schedule for accomplishing your proposed corrective actions in accordance with the Equipment gualiffcatfon rule (10 CFR 50.49{g) issued on January 21, 1983, Federal Register Volume 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 HRC Categories I.B, II.A and IV (presented in the enclosed Technical Evaluation Report) for which justification for cohtinued operation was not previously submitted to the NRC.

In addition, for items in NRC Category II.B, justifica-tion for continued operation, if not previously provided, is to be provfded within ten (10) days of receipt of this letter.

Particular attention is directed to the nine (9) Fisher and Porter transmitters that will requi re a

JCO (Enclosure 2).

Should issues or conflicts exist which prohibit a response in a timely manner, a

10 CFR Part, 50.54(f) letter will be issued.

Guidelfnes set forth in paragraph (i) of 10 CFR 50.49 should be consfdered in your justi-fication ofi'ontinued operation for your facility.

Upon completion of the plant specific review for all plants, a cross-reference of non-qualified equipment existing in any plant will be conducted by the NRC staff to determine if the sane equipment exists on other plants and has been l

n your plan, the staff !

Appendix D of the TER provides a technical review of y66Hktatements regarding~

the 5ustfficatfon for continued operation (CHICO) that was submitted fn th6~~ay r esponse to an earlier staff safety evaluation (published fn mid-1981).

'Appendix D fs not necessarily applicable to the deficiencies identffie ~ln the TER.

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 pro-mulgated an Equipment gualfffcatfon rule which fn Paragraph (g) of the rule requires that by Hay 20, 1983, licensees identify electr'ical equipment important to safety within the scope of the rule that is already'qualified, and submit a

schedule for the qualification or replacement of the'emaining electric equip-ment within the scope of the rule in accordance with the'qualification deadline specified in paragraph (g).

The submittal required by the rule should specifi-cal1y indicate whether your previous submittals comply with paragraphs (a) and (b) of 10 CFR 60.49.

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 equfpment.

This rule specifies the requf rements the staff intends to use in resolving the E(j program.

The Technical Fvaluatfon Report contafns certain-=-identified information which you have previously claimed to be proprietary.

We request that you inform us as fndicated in the proprietary review section of the Safety Evaluation 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-fn SECY 81-119, is that summary data on equipment qualification testing wil 1 not be treated as proprietary by the NRC.

This information shall be submitted within thirty (30) days of receipt of this letter.

A general guideline is enclosed (Enclosure 3).

guestfons regarding the enclosed SE and attached TER, especially the findings and actions required, should be directed through the NRC Pro5ect Nanager (D. Sells (301) 492-9735) for St. Lucfe Plant, Unit No. 1.
