Subject:
Virgil C. Surttrer Nuclear Station Docket No. 50/395 Operating License No. NPF-12 Reportable Substantial Safety Hazard Solid State Protection System On-Line Test Circuit
Dear Mr. O'Reilly:
On August 25, 1982, the NRC was notified of a substantial safety hazard concerning an undetectable failure which could exist in the on-line testing circuits of the Solid State Protection System. This problem ms identified by Wastinghouse, and South Carolina Electric and Gas (SCE&G) was first informed on August 4,1982.
On September 3,1982, SCE&G transmitted a thirty (30) day report. Since that titre, SCE&G has revised the necessary Surveillance Test Procedure to verify contact closure. Westinghouse has concluded a hardware change will be generated to correct this design deficiency but has not yet finalized their design rrodification package.
This letter represents an interim report by SCE&G on this substantial safety hazard. We expect to make a final report by February 1,1983 pending cortpletion of design work by Westinghouse.
Very truly yours, 7
