NRC Licensing Positions and Questions Regarding th e

fluclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2 7

, ~r As a result of our continuing review of the Perry Nuclear Power Plant instrumentation and control system, it is the position of the flRC licensing staff that you revise the design of the circuitry for the Automatic Depressurization System and several manually controlled Engineered Safety Feature Systems for the reasons stated in Enclosure (1).

' Additionally, please advise when CEI will be prepared to meet with the f!RC staff to resolve the rcmaining open items pertaining to your draft response to my letter of November 17, 1981 and subsequent meeting, and to discuss the additianal questions forwarded to you by my recent letter of February 22, 1982, related to the Perry instrumentation and control system.

If there are any questions or clarifications required, please contact flr. John Stefano, the Perry project manager.

Sincerely, A. Schwencer, Chief

Licensing Positions on the InstruInentation and Control Systems for the Perry Plant 421.72 During our review of the testing procedures for the pilot solenoid

^

valves which control compressed air to the automatic depressuriza-tion system (ADS) relief valves, it became apparent, that the present Perry design does not provide a method to indicate the actual posi-tion of'the solenoid during this test.

In the GESSAR-238 NSSS pre-liminary design safety evaluation report (Docket No. STN 50-550)

O dated Marcb 1977, the NRC staff identified this as a potential pro-blem and tdok the position that the General Electric Company would be require'd to make provisions to improve the testability of the ADS solenoid valves during reactor operation. Therefore, the staff

~

requires that the applicant revise the design of the circuitry used to actuate the solenoids' to permit verification of solenoid opera-tiJn during tests.,

~

~

.v 421.73 Durf ng our review, it has become apparent that the logic for manual initiation for several Engineered Safety Feature (ESF) systems is interlocked with pennissive logic from various sensors.

In some ca-ses it appears that the permissive logic is dependent upon the same sensors as those used for automatic initiation of the system.

The

~

staif questions whether this design meets the intent of IEEE 279, Section 4.17. The staff requires the applicant to revise the design to provide the capability to manually initiate each safety system in-dependent of any permissive logic dependent upon-sensors or circuitry used for automatic initiationjr submit justification for interlocks f.or each ESF system in which the applicant proposes to retain the interldcks.
