Wlll.MM L STEWART Vice President Nuclear Operations February 15, 1985 Mr. Harold.R. Denton, Director
- Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Attn:
Mr. H. L. Thompson, Jr. Director Division of Licensing U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D. C. 20555 Gentlemen:
VIRGINIA POWER Nuclear Operations Department Post Office Box 26666 One fames River Plaza Richmond, Virginia 23261 VIRGINIA POWER Serial No.85-090 NO/DWS:acm Docket Nos. 50-280 50-281 50-338 50-339 License Nos. DPR-32 DPR-38 NPF-4 NPF-7 NORTH ANNA UNITS 1 AND 2 SURRY UNITS 1 AND 2 RESPONSE TO GENERIC LETTER 83-28 REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ITEM 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 Your letters of November 23, 1984 for North Anna and November 16, 1984 for
- Surry, requested additional information with regard to Generic Letter 83-28, items 4.2.1 and 4.2.2. This information is provided below:
Item 4.2.1 The preventive maintenance procedure for the DB-50 reactor trip breakers for both Surry 1 and 2 and North Anna 1 and 2 is patterned after the recom-mended maintenance activities of the Westinghouse program of October 14, 1983.
Format and content are not identical to the standard program, but are similar and for all practical purposes our procedures provide compara-ble methods *for the activities recommended.
Procedural inspection activities of the October 14, 1983 Westinghouse Program are presently per-formed on a six month basis at both North Anna and Surry. The twenty items identifed by the request are performed by our procedures.
Item 4.2.2 Procedures utilized for both North Anna and Surry include instructions for measurement of the undervoltage trip attachment dropout voltage parameter; the trip force parameter; and the breaker response time for undervoltage trip parameter.
These test parameters are used to determine acceptable performance of the breaker.
Currently, our procedures do not include the measurement of the breaker insulation resistance, a previously unidentified parameter. Although the October 14, 1983 Westinghouse procedure does not include such a 8502250560 850215
~DR ADDCK 05000280 PDR
VIRGINIA POWER measurement, it is our plan to include this measurement in our procedures.
It is our opinion and one also held by Westinghouse that trending of this parameter can produce misleading results. Changing conditions, which are of little significance such as ambient temperature and humidity fluctu-ation can vary the results and make trending ambiguous.
We do, however, plan to keep a record of the test results and review it to assure resist-ance values are maintained within uniform industry standards. Necessary procedural changes are planned for completion by April 1, 1985.
Test parameters are measured by maintenance personnel at each preventive maintenance inspection interval. Administrative control of this testing activity and its results are handled by Periodic Test procedures. Test parameters must be within the acceptance criteria in order for the breaker performance to be satisfactory. Unsatisfactory measurements require cor-rective action.
Completed test results are reviewed and analyzed by the station engineer-ing staff at each inspection interval (currently scheduled six months).
The review and analysis consist of observing and recording specific test results and assuring these results meet the Westinghouse standard proce-dure limits.
Measured parameter information obtained from the periodic test is used by engineering personnel to recommend adjustments of the inspection interval or corrective action as appropriate.
Very truly yours,
