SUBJECT:
Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2 Reply to NRC Examination Report Nos. 50-352/93-18 and 50-353/93-18 i
NRC Examination Report Nos. 50-352/93-18 and 50-353/93-18 documents the results of the NRC initial operator license !
examinations administered to certain Philadelphia Electric Company (PECo) employees. The report identified an apparent weakness in the examinees' performance in the identification and f
. proper action related to core thermal hydraulic (T-H) r instabilities. The report stated that the weak performance may [
have been due to weak procedural guidance or poor training and ;
questioned how licensed operators will perform in the plant when !
faced with normal versus abnormal core power oscillations. The report requested a written reply providing the actions taken or planned in response to the noted weakness by October 2, 1993. ;
i On October 14, 1993, a meeting was conducted between PECo !
and the NRC to discuss and clarify the concerns identified in the !
subject NRC Examination Report. As a result of this meeting, !
PECo committed to providing to the NRC the documentation i supporting the procedure changes related to core T-H j 4 instabilities. Supporting documentation has been made available 1 to the HRC Senior Resident Inspector for Limerick Generating Station for review. Additionally, PECo committed to providing information on how the commitments contained in PEco's reply to i Bulletin 88-07, " Power Oscillations in Boiling Water Reactors (BWRs)," Supplement 1, were evaluated as part of the changes made to the procedures.
This letter provides the requested and committed to !
I information. This response is being submitted by November 1, 1993 as agreed upon during the October 14, 1993 meeting. hi AD V

Docket 'Nos 50-352 and 50-353 In response to the apparent performance weakness and related ,
core T-H oscillation training and procedural concerns noted in !
the subject NRC Examination Report several actions were taken l between July and September 1993.
To ensure proper current operator response, core oscillations similar to the transients run during the initial ;
operator license exams were run during Licensed Operator l Requalification (LOR) training in July 1993. Interviews were then l conducted with many of the licensed operators to test their 1 understanding of core T-H oscillations, related symptoms, and ;
applicable procedural guidance for responding to this type of transient, The operators demonstrated that they would recognize and [
correctly respond to abnormal core power oscillations. Through !
performance and discussion they exhibited thorough knowledge of 4
) core T-H oscillation transients. However, the interviewed !
operators placed low emphasis on the frequency of oscillations }
exhibited during a core T-H instability transient and exhibited !
an incomplete awareness of strong positive or negative swings of l the reactor neutron multiplication period meter. j t
I To determine the cause of the performance weakness observed i by the NRC, interviews with the newly licensed operators were !
conducted. Based on these interviews we have concluded that the [
Neak performance was due primarily to factors related to the ;
examination process and not to procedural guidance or training. l However, the newly licensed operators did exhibit the same {
knowledge weakness as noted above during the LOR training. l i
To address these kncwledge weaknesses, the bases for the Operational Transient Procedures covering core T-H oscillations {
will be revised to clarify the frequency of the expected power ;
oscillations and the expected response of the period meter. i Training on these changes will be provided in LOR training !
scheduled to start in November 1993.
In response to the concerns expressed at the October 14, ,
1993 meeting, a review was made of the 1992 revisions to the core f
[ T-H oscillation procedures, the technical basis for the -
revisions, and of bow the original commitments made in response :
to NRC Bulletin 88-07, Supplement 1, were evaluated. {
The procedure revisions performed in June 1992, modified the ;
core T-H oscillation detection guidance. These revisions were !
evaluated under 10CFR50.59 and the commitments made in response ;
to the Bulletin Supplement were included in the evaluation. We l
} had concluded that the core T-H oscillation detection guidance }
- provided in the Boiling Water Owners' Group (BWROG) letter dated l March 18, 1992, titled, " Implementation Guidance for Stability j i ;

4 I i Interim Corrective Actions," was more restrictive than the ,
i detection guidance that had previously been committed to in our i response to tne Bulletin Supplement. This guidance was l subsequently cited in NRC Information Notice 92-74, " Power i j Oscillations at Washington Nuclear Power Unit 2," dated November 10, 1992. The indi idual that performed the 10CFR50.59 Reviews ;
concluded incorporation of the new guidance maintained or '
j enhanced the level of safety that was established by the original ;
1 ccmmitment. Since the procedure changes were determined to be '
, within the bounds of the original commitments and did not involve ,
l an unreviewed safety question, prior NRC notification of the j procedure changes was deemed to be not necessary. However, during the evaluation of the deviation contained in NRC Examination Report 50-352/353/92-21, we discovered that the j 10CFR50.59 Reviews for the procedure revisions did not contain ,
sufficient detail. The 10CFR50.59 Reviews were revised in December 1992, to include the details of the evaluation related to the change in core T-H oscillation detection guidance. ;
Following the meeting conducted on October 14, 1993, the 1
procedures related to core T-H oscillations were again reviewed 1 and we have again concluded that the information in the l l procedures is still within the bounds of (i.e., more conservative :
j than) the commitments made to the Bulletin Supplement, especially <
l for the detection of regional core T-H oscillations. However,
- Lased on a review of similar procedures for other BWR plants, we see some benefit to adding further quantitative criteria for the detection of core T-H instabilities in these procedures. These procedures will be revised to include the quantitative core T-H '
oscillation detection criteria recommended in the November 1988 i j
BWROG letter entitled, " Interim Recommendation for Stability [
Actions," which was endorsed by Bulletin 88-07, Supplement 1.
i We hope this response provides the information necessary to ,
resolve the NRC's concern in this matter. If you have any j questions or require additional information, please contact us. ;
