CONFORMANCE TO ITEM 2.1 (PART 2) Of GENERIC LETTER 83-28 REACTOR TRIP s*vsTEH VENDOR INTERFACE CALVERT CLIFFS-1 AND -2 HILLSTONE-2 PALISADES

INTRODUCTION On July 8, *1983, Genertc Letter 83-281 was tssued by 0. G. 'usenhut, Otrector of the 01v1ston of Ltcenstng, Offtce of Nuclear Reactor.
Regulatton, to all ltcensees of oper~ttng reactors, applicants for operating ltcenses, and holders of constructton permits.
This letter included required actions based on generic impltcattons of the Salem ATWS events.
These requirements have been published in Volume 2 of NUREG-1000, "Generic Implications of ATWS Events at the Salem Nuclear Power Plant.~
2 Th\\s report documents the fG&G Idaho, Inc. rev1ew of the subm1ttals of four of the Combustion fngtneertng plants, Calvert Cliffs-1 and -2,*
Mtllstone-2 and Palisades, for conformance to Item 2.1 (Part 2) of Gener1c Letter 83-28.
The submittals from the licensees and applicants ut11tzed in these evaluattons are referenced in Section 8 of this report.

REVIEW REQUIREMENTS Item 2.1 (Part 2) (Reactor Trip System - Vendor Interface) requires licensees and applicants to establish, implement and maintain a continuing program to ensure that vendor information on Reactor Trip System (RTS)
- components is complete, current and controlled throughout the life of the plant, and appropriately referenced or incorporated in plant instructions and procedures.
The vendor interface program is to include periodic convnunications with vendors to assure that all applicable information has been received, as well as a system of positive feedback with vendors for mailings containing technical information, e. g., licensee/applicant acknowledgement for receipt of technical information.
That part of the vendor interface program which ensures that vendor information on RTS components, once acquired, is appropriately controlled, referenced and incorporated in plant instructions and procedures, will be evaluated.as part of the review of Item 2.2 of the Generic Letter.
Because the N~clear Steam System Supplier (NSSS) is ordinarily also the supplier of the entire RTS, the NSSS is also the principal source of information on the components of the RTS.
This review of the 11censee and applicant submittals will:
- l.
Confirm that the licens~e/applicant has identified an interface with either the NSSS or with the vendors of each of the components of the Reactor Trip System.
- 2.
Confirm that the interface identified by licensees/applicants includes periodic convnunication with the NSSS or with the vendors of each of the components of the Reactor Trip System.
- 3.
Confirm that the interface identified by licensees/applicants includes a system of positive feedback to confirm receipt of transmittals of technical information.

GROUP REVIEW RESULTS The relevant submittals from each of the included reactor plants were reviewed to determine compliance with Item 2.1 (Part 2). First, the submittals from each plant were reviewed to establish that Item 2.1 (Part
- 2) was specifically addressed.
Second, the submittals were evaluated to determine the extent to which each of the plants complies with the staff guidelines for Item 2.1 (Part 2).

REVIEW RESULTS FOR CALVERT CLIFFS-1 AND -2 5.1 Evaluation Baltimore Gas and Electric Company, the licensee for Calvert Cliffs, provided their response to Item 2.1 (Part 2) of the Generic Letter on April 6, 1987.
In that response, the licensee confirms that the NSSS for Calvert Cliffs is Combustion Engineering and that-the RTS for Calvert Cliffs is included as a part of the C-E interface program established for the Calvert Cliffs NSSS.
The C-E interface program for the NSSS includes periodic convnunication between C-E and licensees/applicants such as "INFOBULLETINS" containing information and reconvnendations concerning C-E.
systems*~ a system of positive feedback from licensees/applicants in the form of signed receipts for technical information transmitted by C-E, and periodic issuance by C-E of indices of INFOBULLETINS.
5.2 Conclusion We find the licensee's statement confirming that Calvert Cliffs is a participant in the Combustion Engineering interface program for the RTS, which meets the staff position on Item 2.1 (Part 2) of the Generic Letter, is acceptable.

5, REVIEW RESULTS FOR MILLSTONE-2 5.1 Evaluation Northeast Utilities, the licensee for Hillstone-2, provided their response to Item 2.1 (Part 2) of the Generic Letter on April 2, 1987.
In that response, the licensee confirms that the NSSS for Hillstone-2 is Combustion Engineering and that the RTS for Millstone-2 is included as a part of the C-E interface program established for the Hillstone-2 NSSS.
The C-E interface program for the NSSS includes periodic co11111unication between C-E and licensees/applicants such as "INFOBULLETINS" containing information and reco11111endations concerning C-E systems~ a system of positive feedback from licensees/applicants in the form of signed receipts for technical information transmitted by C-E, and periodic issuance by C-E of indices of INFOBULLETINS.
5.2 Conclusion We find the licensee's statement confirming that Millstone-2 1*s a participant in the Combustion Engineering interface program for the RTS, which meets the staff position on Item 2.1 (Part 2) of the Generic letter, is acceptable.

REVIEW RESULTS FOR PALISADES 6.1 Evaluation Consumers Power, the licensee for Palisades, provided their response to Item 2.1 (Part 2) of the Generic Letter on May 8, 1987.
In that response, the licensee confirms that the NSSS for Palisades is Combustion Engineering and that the RTS for Palisades is included as a part of the C-E interface program established for the Palisades NSSS.
The C-E interface program for the NSSS includes' periodic communication between C-E and licensees/applicants such as "INFOBULLETINS" containing information and recolll1lendations concerning C-E systems, a system of pos1t1ve feedback from licensees/appltcants in the form of signed receipts for technical information transmitted by C-E, and periodic lssuance by C-E.
of indices of INFOBULLETINS.
6.2 Conclusion We find the licensee's statement confirming that Palisades is a participant 1n the Combustion Engineering interface program for the RTS, which meets the staff position on Item 2.1 (Part 2) of the Gener1c Letter, is acceptable.
