Subject:
Zion Station Units 1 and 2 Recovery from Inadvertant Trip NRC Docket Nos. 50-295 and 50-304
Dear Mr. Keppler:
This is to inform you of che actions we will be taking regarding startup of the Zion units with equipment required by the Technical Specifications out-o f-service, and the interpretation of the phrase " recovery from inadvertant trip."
These matters were discussed with members of your staff in an Enforcement Conference at Region III on July 21, 1982.
Pending the development of a written interpretation o f the existing Technical Specification that is mutually acceptable to Commonwealth Edison and the NRC (or a modification o f the existing Technical Specifications), the following actions will be taken upon a trip of one of the Zion units:
1.
The cause of the trip will be determined and corrected, and the unit will be prepared for startup according to General Operating Procedure-1.
This procedure includes checklists that verify the availability o f Technical Specification required equipment.
(No te:
This is a reaf firmation of the policy currently in effect.)
2.
If. equipment required by the Technical Specifications is inoperable, the following actions will be taken:
l a)
A determination will be made as to whether the planned startup constitutes " recovery from inadvertant trip."
This determination will be made by applying a conservative I
interpretation of the definition o f "inadvertant", with consideration o f the current NRC regulatory position as presented at the July 21 meeting.
This determination will require the concurrence and approval o f the Zion Station Superintendent and the Vice President and General Manager o f Nuclear Stations or his designated alternate.
b)
The NRC will be informed of the results of our determina-tion.
However, she act of informing the NRC will not be considered a prerequisite for unit startup.
