Dear Mr. Miltenberger:

SUBJECT:

SAFETY EVALUATION FOR GENERIC LETTER 83-28, ITEM 4.5.3, REACTOR TRIP RELIABILITY - ON-LINE FUNCTIONAL TESTING OF THE REACTOR TRIP SYSTEM (TAC NOS.54021/54022)

RE:

SALEM GENERATING STATION, UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 Generic Letter 83-28, Item 4.5.3, required confirmation from all licensees and applicants that on-line functional testing of the reactor trip system, including independent testing of the diverse trip feature, was being performed.

By letters dated July 22, 1983 and October 16, 1985, you submitted responses to Generic Letter 83-28, Item 4.5.3. Therein you indicated your endorsement of the Westinghouse Owners Group's Report WCAP-10271, as being applicable to Salem, Units 1 and 2.

The NRC staff, with the assistance of our contractor, Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, has reviewed your responses and the Westinghouse Owners Group's report.

We conclude that the existing intervals for on-line functional testing at Salem, Units 1 and 2 are consistent with achieving high reactor trip system availability.

The enclosed safety evaluation and contractor's report (EGG-NTA-8341) provide the details and basis for our conclusion. Therefore, we consider Generic Letter 83-28, Item 4.5.3 to be complete.

This completes all staff activities related to TAC Nos. 54021/54022.
