E.
E. Fitzpatrick, Vice President AEP Indiana Hichigan Power Company P.O.
Box 16631
- Columbus, OH 43216
Dear Hr. Fitzpatrick:
Thank you for the response to 60 Federal Register 36833 regarding request for comments to Draft Guide-1043 that you provided in your letter AEP:NRC:0508AN, dated August 14, 1995.
AEP comments have been considered in full and were very helpful in developing Regulatory Guide 1. 149, Revision 2, "Nuclear Power Plant Simu1ation Facilities for use in Operator License Examinations."
In
- part, AEP comments reflected those of the industry in general and were discussed in detail with representatives from the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI), the Utility Simulator Users Group (USUG), the ANSI/ANS 3.5 Writing Committee, and other interested parties at a public meeting at NRC Headquarters in Rockville, HD on November 15, 1995.
Those discussions served as the basis for development of this important performance-based regulatory guidance that will serve the goals of both the industry and the Commission.
Other AEP comments were considered to be program-specific or unique to administration of the simulation facility at the Donald C.
Cook Nuclear Plant.
This letter addresses program-specific AEP comments with respect to the final Regulatory Guide
- 1. 149, Revision 2.
Consideration should be given to the use of a simulator capability when determining testing requirements.
In general, a simulator capability should be validated at least once, usually as part of initial system or simulator acceptance testing.
Thereafter, those capabilities that are used in a
malfunction capacity to cause, prompt, 'or elicit operator response or to enable a larger scenario, should be considered to be "integral to the facility's training and examination scenarios and exercises" for the purpose of periodic validation and operability testing.
Remote functions should be considered to be a function of the software design for the associated
- system, even though it is'recognized that they "affect or alter the normal operation of simulated instrumentation or components in the model."
Consequently, the operability and effects of remote functions should be included in system validation testing.
The testing frequency of "...at least once every four years, approximately 25K per year.." is specified in 10 CFR 55.45.
Applicability of this testing frequency requirement is, therefore, not a function of the methodology by

which the testing is performed.
Deletion of the periodic testing frequency as a requirement can only be effected by application for an exemption from specific provisions of 10 CFR 55.45 as provided by 10 CFR 55. 11.
Absent specific exemption, the AEP testing program should consider the specified testing frequency to be applicable.
