Georgia Power Company has completed the reviews and analyses requested by your August 8, 1979, letter to all licensees.

In addition to analysis, tests were made to verify the accuracy of the analytical studies. The results of the analyses are contained in the attached report, along with the test procedure used to verify the analysis.

The analysis establishes a range of voltages from 98% to 104% of nominal offsite line voltage within which the emergency loads can safely be applied. This corresponds to a minimum starting load voltage of 75%

of nominal and a maximum of 110% of nominal for running loads, each under worst case conditions.

The response of the system to various scenarios has been considered in accordance with the guidelines for voltage drop calculations, and the re-sultant in-plant voltages determined.

It must be made clear that these scenarios not only depict the existing operation of the system, but also describe alternate ways of system operation. We are not constrained into a particular scenario. For each condition, methods exist to place the system in a different configuration. However, because we do model the system in various conditions, certain of these improbable scenarios can be expected to produce, without modification, unacceptable voltage conditions at the plant.

With our existing system and method of operation, the aralysis shows the voltage stays between 98% and 104%. Furthermore, no violations or potential violations of GDC-17 or voltage requirements have been discovered.

We did, however, succeed in establishing a scenario which, if adopted, could result in unacceptable voltages at some time in the future. This scenario is amenable to system modifications which would allow it to be A6 f

GeorgiaPower A U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation December 7, 1979 Page Two adopted with acceptable results. We therefore conclude that operation of the Hatch units continues to be matched to system operation and that Georgia Power Company is adequately protecting operations at Plant Hatch.

Operating experience to date bears this out.

We have demonstrated the loss of boch units from the system grid within moments of each other can occur with acceptable results.
