WASHING TON. D. C. 20555 SEP 161977 Docket Nos. 50-269 50-270 and 50-287 Duke Power Company ATTN: Mr. William 0. Parker, Jr.

Vice President - Steam Production Post Office Sox 2178 422 South Church Street Charlotte, North Carolina 28242 Gentl emen:

RE:

OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1, 2 & 3 The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has reviewed the 6for. nation that you are required by your technical specifications to submit as cart of an Annual Operating Report ano has concluded that much of the infomation now included in the Annual Operating Report can be deleted and still meet the desired NRC objectives. Therefore, we are planning to delete the requirements for an Annual Operating Report provided tnat certain infornation presently in the Annual Operating Report continues to be reported.

The purpose of this letter is to request that you suomit a proposal to delete the reouirenent in your technical specifications for an Annual Operating Report. There is, however, one portion of your Annual Operating Report that must be retained in the Technical Specifications. The tabulation of occupational exposure cata is needed by NRC and must continue to be sucmitted on an annual basis. This tabulation may oe submitted along with any report of facility changes, tests or experiments required pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59(b), or as a separate suomittal if ycu Wi sh.

In addition, we request that you concurrently modify the content of your required Monthly Operating Report.

You presently may be using three reoort femats contained in " Reporting of Operating Infornation - Appendix A Technical Specifications" Regulatory Guide 1.16 as your monthly report.

The " Average Daily Unit Power Level" femat remains the same and should continue to be used. The other two femats, " Operating Data Report" and " Unit Shutdowns and Power Reductions", along with their associated instructions for completing the fornats, have oeen revised slightly.

These revised fomats should be used starting with your monthly report for January 1973. Twelve copies of each of the current fomats anc the associated instructions are enclosed for your use. Additional copies may be obtained from our Office of Management Infomation and Program Control. Along wi th the three report fornats tnat provide much of the J912190g

m i

,0 i

Duke Power Company SEP 161977 needed monthly operating infomation, we request that you provide a

" Narrative Summary of Operating Experience" that describes the operation of the facility, including major safety-related maintenance, for the monthly report period. The summary should be of the style and detail similar to that previously prepared for inclusion into the Annual Operating Report.

This requested " Narrative Summary of Operating Experience" is to cover each one-month period only and is part of the Monthly Operatigg Report which should be submitted by tne tenth of the month folicwing the calencar month covered by the report to tne Director, Of fice of Management Infomation and Program Control.

You should state your intentions with respect to providing this revised Monthly Operating Report when you submit a proposal to delete the Annual Operating Report.

In lieu of the 1977 Annual Operating Report, the NRC will compile, from previc.5:/ Jubmitted reports, that information now judged necessary.

This compilation of operating data will be transmitted to each licensee for validation and addition of any missing data. Additionally, a ' separate, one-time only, " Narrative Summary of Operating Experience" will be required to cover the transition period (calendar year 1977) because the narrative of operating experience was not submitted with previous Monthly Operating Reports nor will there be an Annual Operating Report which would have contained the narrative.

We request that you (1) propose a change to your technical specifications that would delete the requirement for an Annual Operating Report, (2) modify the content oi; your monthly report, (3) provide any missing data in the summary compilation which will be prepared and transmitted to you by NRC, and (4) provide a narrative of operating experience for the year 1977.

We believe that this new reporting program will represent a significant paperwork reduction, provide more timely infomation and eliminate unnecessary infor nation. We request that you make a submittal as soon as possible, but no later than November 1,1977, so we may delete the requirement for the suomittal of an Annual Operating Report by fiarch 1,1978.

Sincerely, f l

22. UNIT CAPACITY FACTOR (USING DER NET). Com-pute as in item 21. substituting design electrical rating t

titem 5) for maximum dependable espae:ty.

23. UNIT FORCED OUTAGE RATE. Compute by dividing the total forced outage hours (from the table in Unit Shutdowns and Power Reducuans) by the sum of hours generator on line titem 14) plus total forced outage hours t from the table in Unit Shutdowns and Power Reduettens).

Express as percent to the nearest tenth of a percent.

24. SHUTDOWNS SCHEDULED OVER NEXT 6.\\lONTHS (TYPE, D ATE, AND DURATION OF EACH). Include type (refueling, maintenance, other), proposed date of start of shutdown, and proposed length of shutdown.

It is recognized that shutdowns may be scheduled between reports and that this item may not be allinclusive. Be as accurate as possible as of the date the report is prepared.

This item is to be prepared each month and updated if appropnate until the actual shutdown occurs.

25. Self explanatory.

26. Self explanatory. Note, however, that this mformation is requested for all units m startup and power ascension test status and is not required for units already in com-mere:ai operation.

TEST STATUS is defmed as that pened following ini-tial enticality dunng which the unit is tested at succes-sive!y hnzher outputs, culminating with operation at full power for a sustamed penod and completion of war-ranty runs. Following this phase. the unit is generally considered by the utility to be availaole for commercial operation.

Date of COMMERCIAL OPERATION is defmed as the date that the unit was declared by the utility owner to be available for the regular production of e!eetricity.

usually related to the satisfactory completion of quaii-tiestion tests as speettled in the purchase centraet :nd to the accounting policies and practices of the ut:lity.
