ENCLOSURE SALEM NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION UNITS 1 AND 2 Request for Information on Initial Test Program 13.9 The staff's review of your description of the initial test program planned for Salem Unit 2 disclosed that the test program is not acceptable until the bel6w listed areas are resolved:
(1)
The test methods and plant's electrical systems status need to be defined for tests that will be conducted to satisfy regu-latory positions in Regulatory Guide 1.41, "Preoperational Testing of Redundant Onsite Electrical Power Systems tp
( 2)
Verify Proper Load Group Assignments."
If -exceptions to this guide are taken, they should be explained in sufficient detail to show that the plant status and test methods will provide equivalent assurance of proper load group assignements and independence between redundant AC and DC sources of onsite power and independence from offsite power sources.
Otherwise the test methods described in Regulatory Guide 1.41 will be required by the staff.
Our position turbine trip acceptable.
this test or provided:
relative to your proposal to eliminate the test from 100 percent power is that it is not Your application should be modified to include the following additional information should be (a)* Provide a listing of all initiating events or conditions that result in opening of the main generator output breaker.
(b)
Describe which trips listed in item (a) will result in a direct turbine trip event and which trips will result in a turbine trip event via sensed T-G overspeed condition.
(c)
Describe the automatic transfer functions for the plant's electrical distribution system along with associated time delays for each initiating event or.condition.
(d)
Describe the means by which you plan to initiate the generator load rejection test from 100 percent power.
(3)
The staff concluded that Regulatory Guide 1.108, "Periodic Testing of Diesel Generator Units Used as Onsite Electric Power Systems at Nuclear Power Plants" is applicable for *the Salem 2 facility.
Since this guide addresses both preoperational and periodic testing, your application needs to be modified to describe how your planned preoperational tests will conform with this guide or how they will provide for equivalent pre-operational testing. *
(4)
The staff has concluded that Regulatory Guide l.68.2, 11 Initial Startup Test *Program to Demonstrate Remote Shutdown Capability for Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants 11 is applicable for the Salem 2 facility.
We require that your application be corrected and modified to describe the tests planned to conform with the guide or show that equivalent testing will be conducted.
State your intent to comply with our requirement.
