Docket No. 50-219 Mr. E. E. Fitzpatrick Vice President and Director Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Post Office Box 388 Forked River, New Jersey 08731
Dear Mr. Fitzpatrick:
SUBJECT:
TWO CONTROL RODS MOVING AT ONE TIME - OYSTER CREEK NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION (TAC NO. 76424)
The staff has reviewed the GPU Nuclear Corporation's 10 CFR 50.59 evaluation of two control rods moving at one time and has audited the calculation supporting this evaluation.
Our Safety Evaluation is enclosed. While we have found the analysis to be correct, we don't consider reliance on operator action to meet the FSAR design basis for Chapter 15 rod withdrawal from low power and control rod drop safety analyses to be an adequate long term resolution to this problem. We find that the revised operating procedures provide adequate protection to allow continued operation of Oyster Creek for the remainder of the current cycle.
However, we require that the control rod selection circuitry be revised at the next refueling outage (13R) to prevent withdrawal of two control rods at one time.
We request that you respond within 30 days of receipt of this letter indicating you intent to comply with this requirement.
Sincerely,
/s/
Alexander W. Dromerick, Senior Project Manager Project Directorate I-4 Division of Reactor Projects - I/II Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
