Justification Section 210 of the Energy Reorganization.Act of_l974, as amended,_ _
stated that "the Comission shall develop a plan providing for specification and analyses of Unresolved Safety Issues relating to nuclear reactors and shall take such action as may be necessary to implement corrective measures with respect._to such issues.-_.Such.
plan shall be submitted to the Congress on or before January 1, 1978 and progress reports shall be included in the annual report of the Comission thereafter." Thus, an Unresolved Safety Issue is a special category of generic safety issues. An " Unresolved Safety Issue" (USI) is defined as a matter affecting a number of nuclear power plants that poses important questfon~s concarning the adequacy of existing safety requirements for which a final resolution has not yet been developed and that involves ccnditions not likely to be acceptable over the lifetime of the_ plant. _______-..___._.
The NRC has developed a procedure (see NUREG-0705) for screening various generic issues to determine which issues should be considered by the Comission for approval as USIs. The staff's proposed issues are reviewed and commented on by the Advisory Comittee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS), the Office of Analysis and Evaluation of Operational Data (AE00) and the Office'of Policy Evaluation (OPE).
The ACRS and AE00 have also proposed issues _.to_ be_ considered-by_.the--
Comission. The Comission considers the above information and makes the final approval of which issues shall be designated as i
USIs.
The issue of Station Blackout has been designated USI A-44..The purpose of this USI is to establish the safety significance of an _
event resulting in a loss of all alternaH9 c"" rent power and *e consider the need for any specific changes accordingly. Part of the USI A-44 effort is directed toward detemining the reliability of the onsite standby diesel generators. The information'to be requested will be reviewed by the staff to make an accurate determination of operating experience, and to entble rtcrrect aTsessmenfor which plants may require any improvements found to be necessary.
The staff has obtained all available informatian on the subject and is requesting only that additional inform'ltion needed to provide a sound basis for such a detemination.

Tabulation and Publication Plans The compilation and analysis of the data collected will be published by the NRC in a contractor's report scheduled for May 1982. Data tables and the use of the data in reliability models will be included with the overall program report on nuclear power plant AC power supply reliability.
4.
Time Schedule for Data Collection and Publication It is not intended that a specific publication be prepared for this data collection. Data requests will be sent to licensees in June,
1981 and it is expected that data collection will be completed in September 1981. A draft program report, including data compilation and analysis, is scheduled for February 1982.

Estimate of Cost to Federal dovernment Total cost to the government of this data collection and analysis action estimated to ba 0.5 professional man-years and $75K in tecnni:al assistance funds.
9.
Practical Utility The data collected will allow an accurate estimation of emergency AC power supply reliability which is required to resolve the Station Blackout safety issue. The data will be used to assess the current state of diesel generator reliability. The data will also be used to evaluate the major contributors to diesel generator unreliability and the potential for reliability improvement.
In addition, the data will be used for a cost-benefit analysis which will fom the basis for potential future licensing requirement changes.
. The NRC has programed the necessary resources to review this information. A contractor has also been retained to review and analyze the data collected.
- 10. Necessity The primary mission of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is-to ensure that the design, construction and operation of nuclear power plants does not endanger the health and safety of the general public.
In this regard, issues approved as Unresolved Safety Issues have been identified as those posing important questions concerning the adequacy of existing safety requirements. Accurate information on onstte sources of AC power is required to properly assess the reliability of this equipment. This information is also needed to determine the extent of any backfit requirement that may result upon technical resolution of this USI.
- 11. Copy Requirements This request requires one copy of the information submittal listed in the attachnent.
~
- 12. Record Retention The information submitced by the licensees will be retained for the duration of the facility operating lice,nse, naminally 40 years.

l Mr. Alan R. Barton Senior Vice President Alabama Power Company Post Office Box 2641 Birmingham, A M rs 35291
Dear Mr. Barton:
Subject:
Infomation. Request Regarding Station Blackout, Unresolved Safety Issue A-44 The NRC staff is currently addressing Unresolved Safety Issue (USI) A-44, Station Blackout. The purpose of this work is to establish the safety significance of an event resulting in a loss of all alternating current power and, if significant, to consider the need for any specific changes. ~ Over the past several years infomation requests have been forwarded which requested information that is being used in.the USI analysis. Your interest and cooperation in the past has been appreciated.
At this time the USI A-44 effort is being directed toward detemining the reliability of.the onsite standby diesel generators. The enclosed questionnaire has been prepared to provide accurate operating experience to serve as a basis for such a determination. More specifically, its purpose is to obtain more detailed data than were available in p,revious -
diesel generator studies such as AE,C-00E-ES-002, NUREG/CR-0660, and NUREG/CR-1362.
The questionnaire (enclosure 1) requests information in tabular fom and solicits data for the years 1976 through 1980, inclusive. There are four tables enclosed:
(1) Diesti Generator Operations Data, (2) Diesel Generator Scheduled Down Time Record,_ (3) Diesel Generator Unscheduled Down. Time Record, and (4) Onsite Emergency Diesel Generator and Auxiliary Equipment Nodification Record. Also enclosed are examples of completed tables as well as a clarification of what should be entered.
Please note that, although it may appear that only Licensee Event Report (LER) infomation is sought, data on all diesel generator malfunctions, independent I
of whether an LER was prepared, is requested.
Please find enclosed LER documentation (enclosure 2) presently docketed j
for your facility.
You ar.e requested to review these and to indicate if
.here are other reports which have not been enclosed.
Finally, please find enclosed a copy of the appropriate portions of your resporise (enclosure i
Mr. Alan R. Barton Alabama Power Company -
- 3) to our letter of March 6,1978 which requested related, but different, information. This is being forwarded for your information only and should aid in preparing Tables 1 through 4.
The above information is requested in accordance with Sections 103.b.(3) and 161.c of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. Please provide your response within 90 days of receipt of this letter. Mr. P. Baranowsky has been designated Task Manager for USI A-44 Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact him at (301) 443-5921. Your time and efforts are appreciated.
Sincerely, Steven A. Varga, Chief Operating Reactors Branch #1 Division of Licensing

The categories are structured such that the start and run conditions are siziifIar for all of the tests in.a category. In this column, enter the scheduled run duration for each of the test categories. Also enter the number of diesel generator starts that are done for each type of test. For example, if on the monthly test there is one start from th_a_ local _ con- _
trols and one start from the remote controls, the number.of starts per test is two.
If two or more diesels are started simultaneously for any reascu, please record it as a multiple start.
DG No.: Enter each diesel generator's identification number in this cohann as shown in the example.
Number of Starts: Enter the sum of the successful and unsuccessful start attempts for each category. If there are several starts for each test, include all of them, but be.certain to record the number of starts per j
test.in column one.
Number of Failures: Enter the sum of the failures for each category. A fai!ure is counted if the objectives of the test are not achieved. A subsystem failure that does not cause fai.1ure of the diesel generator system ir not counted as a failure. If the diesel ge6erator did not i
start, run, and load as required by the test, a failure should be recorded. However, if the diesel generator would have supplied power in some capacity for an emergency, please explain in Table 3.
For example, if the diesel started on the second attempt.ot3hg E c'sel was tripped to repair a minor oil leak that would not have been a problem in ac emergency, this should be noted in Table 3.
Percent Loading of DC (ItW): Enter the percentage that the diesel is loaded for each category.- The continuous kilowatt rating is considered to be 100%.
Luration of.Run Before Stop for each DG Failure: Record the run-time for each failure. If the diesel failed to start, the run-time would be 0 min.
Identification of Failures: Attached to this questionnaire are abstracts of the LERs related to the diesel generators. The abstracts are numbered starting with one.
Refer to this number to identify the failures, but if there was a failure for which there is no abstract, number and include it in Table 3.
~
assign the failure a Table 2 Reason for Downtime: Enter in this column the categories of schedule ma).n-tenance that make the diesel generator unavailable for emergency service.
l If the diesel generator is unavailable for emergency service during surveillance testing, report that also.
