REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PILGRIM UNIT N0. 1 DEGRADED GRID VOLTAGE (TAC 10041)

1. Table 3.2.B Instrumentation That Initiates or Controls the Core and Containment Cooling Systens, Boston Edison Company letter to NRC, dated August 24, 1977, gives a degraded voltage trip point of 3798 volts with 5.2 seconds time delay.

The time delay appears to be too short and could cause a oroblem with short duration power disturbances.

Provide the analysis and isis fcr your selection of the 5.2 second time delay,

2. State and describe total number of channels per bus in your system for the second level undervoltage protection.

State applicable operating i

modes and action.

Refer to Table 3.3-3, Engineered Safety Feature r

Actuation System Instrumentation, NRC letter dated June 2,1977 (Safety Evaluation and Statement of Staff Positions Relative to the Emergency Power Systems and Operating.)

3. The voltage monitors shall be designed to satisfy the requirements of IEEE Std. 279-1971, " Criteria for Protection Systems for Nuclear Power Generating Stations." State your compliance with this requirement, and include sufficient description for us to verify compliance of your design.
