I e-FARLEY NUCLEAR PLANT UNIT 1 1E RESPONSE TO IE BULLETIN 80-15 POSSIBLE LOSS OF EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM (ENS) WITH LOSS OF OFFSITE POWER Requested Action 1.
Within 1) days of the date of this Bulletin, verify by direct inspection, in conjunction with the appropriate telephone company represen:ative, that the ENS at your facility is powered in the manner d: scribed in the two enclosures.
Response
The Bulletin indicated that the Farley ENS is powered by on-site sources.
However, this is not the case.
It was verified by direct inspection on June 26, 1980, that the Farley ENS is powered off-site with back-up battery packs.
Requested Action 2
Those facilities which have station packages requiring on-site power, but which are not connected to a safeguards instrumentation bus which is backed up by batteries and an inverter or equally reliable power supply, shall make necessary modifications and provide such a connection.
Response
The Farley ENS does not requirt on-site power; therefore, no action is necessary.
Requested Action 3.
All facilities are to develop and conduct a test, within 60 days of the issuance of this Bulletin, to verify that all extensions of the ENS located at your facility (ies) would remain fully operable from the facility (ies) to the NRC Operations Center in the event of a loss of offsite power to your facility (ies).
This is not intended to mean that an actual loss of offsite power be executed.
Response
As noted earlier, the Farley ENS is completely independent of site power. A loss of off-site power to this plant will not affect the ENS. Therefore, the requested test is not necessary.
o, Requested Action
- 4..If it is determined that a station package requiring on-site power is not connected to a safeguards instrumentation bus backed up by automatic transfer to batteries and an inverter or an equally reliable power supply, notify the NRC Operations Center via the ENS within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> af ter such determination.
Response
No response required.
Requested Action 5.
Prepare and issue an administrative procedure or directive which requires notification to the NRC Operations Center by commercial telephone or relayed message within one hour of the time that one or more extensions of the ENS located at your facility (ies) is subsequently found to be inoperable for any reason.
Response
A directive which requires such notification has been prepared and issued, Requested Action 6.
Provide a written report, within 75 days of the issuance of this Bulletin, describing the result of the reviews required by items 1 and 2 above, the results of the testing required by item 3 and the procedures required by item 5.
Response
The requested information is provided herein.
It is estiented that 25 man-hours were spent in conduct of the review and the preparation of the report required by this Bulletin.
This information is provided in response to the request which was part of the Bulletin.
