SUBJECT:
CONFIRMATORY ACTION LETTER SUPPLEMENT 2 This is the second supplement to my Confirmatory Action Letter of February 5, 1993, which noted Houston Lighting & Power Company's management agreement that South Texas Project, Units 1 and 2, will not be taken critical until the NRC staff has been briefed on the results of your efforts to correct the overspeed trip condition which affected the turbine-driven auxiliary feedwater pumps.
As discussed with Mr. John Groth in a public meeting in Arlington, Texas, on October 5, 1993, the following topics have been identified as additions to the issues which must be resolved prior to startup of either South Texas Project unit.
In a telephone conversation on October 15, 1993, you acknowledged these issues and agreed that these topics would be addressed in your briefing of the NRC staff in a meeting to be scheduled prior to unit startup.
The additional topics are:
Effectiveness of the SPEAK 0UT program; Standby diesel generator reliability; Essential chiller reliability; The system certification program; Reliability and operability of the feedwatei isolation bypass valves; Adequacy of tornado damper testing; and Acceptability of the emergency preparedness accountability drill results.
These are not new issues, but they were considered to be significant following reviews of the Diagnostic Evaluation Report, your Operational Readiness Program, the allegation process, and recent NRC inspection findings. The complete results of these reviews are documented in NRC Inspection Report 50-498/93-31; 50-499/93-31. This listing of topics for discussion is CERTIFIED MAIL - RETURN RECEIPT RE0 VESTED

intended to focus the briefing on staff concerns involving potential safety issues.
If other such topics are identified prior to the briefing, you will be advised by letter or telephone.
Please inform me when your staff has made significant progress in addressing these issues so I can schedule special inspections prior to the briefing. All provisions of the February 5, 1993, letter and its supplement of May 7,1993, remain in effect.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or Mr. Art Howell of my staff.
Sincerely.
