Q In the Matter of Docket Nos. 50-440-0L 50-441-0L CLEVELAND ELECTRIC ILLUMINATING COMPANY, et al.
SERVED FEB 1 1982 9
(Perry Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 & 2)
February 19; 1982 MEMORANDUM (Concerning Visit to General Electric Control Room Simulator)
On February 12, 1982, Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company (appli-cant) filed a letter relating to the trip the Board has scheduled for March 5,1982, to the General Electric Control Room Simulator near Tulsa, Oklahoma.
That simulator contains a control board similar to that scheduled for use at Perry.
Nearby, there is a Nuclenet 1000 control room simulator.
Applicant informs us that it has arranged a simulation for us and we are grateful for its cooperation.
To make the simulation more meaningful, however, we urge that the operators know neither the order of the tasks they will perform nor the precise incidents they will handle.
In addition, the Board hopes it may be able to suggest a limited number of incidents of its own while it is on the site.
Applicant also tells us that a simulation on the Nucienet 1000 simulator could not be arranged because of its cost.
This is somewhat puzzling to us because the idea of seeing that par',1cular installation was suggested to us by Robert M. Ketchel, Manager, Regulation & Marketing Support for General Electric Company. He seemed proud of this new control room model and thought he could show it to us.
It may be that the Board does not need to see full use of the Nuclenet 1000 simulator, if that is too costly.
However, we hope that the Commission staff and applicant will work together to arrange a meaningful tour. Although there are no issues relating to the control room presently in this proceeding, the Board wishes to be informed so that it will know whether or not to raise a sua sponte issue should that be appropriate in the future.
There is broad agreement that chance of human error is an important contributor to the risk of power reactor accidents. We believe that information about this important subject should be made available to us.
