Subjects Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (OCNGS)

Docket No. 50-219 Generic Letter 89-21 Pursuant.to Generic Letter 89-21, please find attached the tabular information for DCNGS Unresolved Safety Issues as requested in Enclosure 1 to the Generic Letter. The status is based on our understanding of the issues as described in the Generic Letter and on '

discussione with and information provided by NRC Project Manager, Alex Dromerick. The information in the remarks column provide the basis for our understanding of the implementation status. The projected implementation dates do not represent a change to commitments previously provided by GPUN, and, however, are subject to change. If s there are any questions, pleas 4 contact M. W. Laggart at 201-316-7968.

Very truly yours, 1 -

SC - COMPLETW NC - NO CHANGES NECESSARY NA - NOT 7,PPLICABLE I - INCOMPLETE E - EVALUATING ACTIONS REQUIRED NOTE: A reactor-vessel high water-level feedwater pump trip is not provided at Oyster Creek. The'feedwater control syst(m has been modified by the addition of a Reactor Level Setdown (RLS) program and by revising the existing feedwater pump runcut protection logic. The modification automatically lowers the effective feedwater control level setpoint when reactor water level decreases to the RLS initiation setpoint (137" TAF) and a full scram signal is present. Th'a RLS program in conjunction with the revised runout protection logic act to limit the m uitude of the post' trip high water level transient to avoid flooding the isolaaion condenser steamlines. The main turbine trips on reactor-vessel high water-level and, as a result, the reactor. scrams. The RLS initiation setpoint is selected to control water level in such en event.

The plant emergency operating procedures provide the operators with guidance in the event of abnormal reactor-vessel water level. Prior to reaching 170" TAF, the operators are instructed to trip all the feedwater

' pumps. If the reactor-vessel water level exceeds 180" TAF, the guidar.ce is to isolate the isolation condensers,

, thereby preventing water from entering the condensers.
