.?~ISOPOLITXi EDISON COMPMY (TE222 :CL2 ISLMD L' NIT 1)

ATT AL ZZ5C.i OSCILLLTICS T7.STUG - LCC';.ET No. 50-2-C1 -

We have reviewed Mr. Brunner's nemorandus (undated} aal ;w.c concluded that Metropolitan 2dison Compa:ay should conduct sa

=H al xenon oscillation test as part of their startup testin; program or to forum 117 provide tech,4 cal justification for not conducting this test to DL in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.68.

iihile we recotmire that Metropolitan Edison did not specifically er==ri t to perfona this test in their Es.G and that the cesign concepts could be proven adequate by prototype testing at a s4=41=r 34W facility (Oconee 2), we consider that a controlled test demonstrates the adequacy of the licensee's nethods and procedev for heMiing anticipated xenon oscillations and providas valuable aperience to the licensee's technical and operating staf f in the ham 1fng of these transients.

Accordingly, va believe it appropriate that RO:I advise the license 2 of our position on this mattar. We believe this completes the actic.:

requested by 10 #282. In that this matter may be of interest to otha Regf r==1 Of fices, we rec-M that they also be informed of our position.
