The cover letter that'transmitte'd NRC' Inspection Report Nos.
50-352/90-80 and 50-353/90-80 requested that we providerour;shortland. j long term actions relative to the unresolved items identified inithe- '
Executive. Summary. The two unresolved items are 352 and 353/90-80-01' i and.352 and 353/90-80-02. BelowLisLour responsesto each of these unresolved:ltems.' Additionally, we have provided ourLresponse to_the- l other concerns identified;throughout the' report'. Each item.is .
addressed below in the order.that they appeared 11n the Details section of the report.
The'Short Term actions (designated ST) make certain enhancements in.
the Plant Specific Technical Guideline (PSTG):and. Transient Response Implementation Plan (TRIP) procedures. Teh PSTGs and affected TRIP -
,
procedures.were all revised, reviewed by.the Plant' Operations Review Committee (PORC).and approved by the' Operations and Technical Staffs before July 15, 1990. Implementation and the.necessary training of these changes.is expected.to be completed.by: September 15, 1990. Long Term > items (designated LT).will be reviewed and appropriate actions' :
planned by December- 31,'1990. The results of this review and the-
- action plan will be submitted in;a supplement to this response expected to be issued by January ~30,'1991.
.
Independent Technical Adequacy Review of the TRIP Procedures, Unresolved Item 90-80-01, Section 4.0 L <
Item 1 ,
.
The inspection team identified that.when transitioning to the contingency partion of the PSTG, the PSTG. refers to specific procedure-numbers, such as the T-100 series, rather than the individual'PSTG contingencies.
desconse The PSTG has been revised to reference contingency numbers rather than-TRIP procedure numbers (ST).
i l Item 2 The inspectors identified a TRIP procedure deviation from the.PSTG on entering T-100 (SCRAM procedure) instead of entry into'the Reactor, Pressure Vessel (RPV) Control procedure, T-101. This constitutes extra steps which may not be required and has the potential to cause operator error.

i Response We will evaluate whether the operator should enter T-101' (RPV Control).
~
instead of T-100 (SCRAM procedure) when directedoto' SCRAM in a TRIPL procedure (LT). )
l
'
Item 3
.
A. deviation between the,PSTG and the TRIP procedures ~was identified.-
The PSTG direction:given When emergency RPV depressurization is 1 required, is to: enter T-101;at Step RC-1 and execute:it concurrently. l The ' TRIP procedures? only direct entry into T-ll2,: Emergency- Blowdown.
Procedure T-112 has_ direction to' SCRAM the reactor if'it.has'not The already been SCRAMed, therefore, entry into~ T-101 is redundant.
inspection team concluded that-since T-101 gives the operator guidance to: control level and-power that T-112 does not, .T-101 should be entered when emergency blowdown is' required.
Response This conclusion will be reviewed and appropriate-actions planned (LT).
Item _4 There were several examples of incorrect ~information in the PSTG_that.
reflect on system capability. The-PSTG refers:toEthe steam condensing mode of RHR, HPCI use for boron injection, LPCI. loops C and D heat ^
exchanger capability and' RPV flooding sources, none of whicli . exist in the plant.
,
Response l
The PSTG,has been revised to reference only Limeri.ck Generating Station (LGS) systems and not generic systems 1(ST).
l
'
Item 5 ;
.There are several actions contained in the' TRIP procedures which are not directed by the PSTGs. In_T-101.(RPV control),-when an'SRV_is cycling, adequate core. cooling is'not: considered when establishing suppression pool cooling. T-ll2 containsEdirection to avoid emergency depressurization of the reactor vessel below 100Lpsig unless. motor' ,
driven pumps are available. Technical-Specifications actions are included in the SP/T portion of T-102.
Response >
We wi'11 evaluate whether to remove suppression poo.1 cooling operation from T-101 or specify to use an RHR pump'which is not required for adequate core cooling (LT). T-ll2 has been revised to remove this direction (ST). We will evaluate whether these actions should be removed from T-102 (LT).

Item 6 A number of transition points were found to be in error in'several
. TRIP procedures.
, Response ,
All TRIP' procedure: flowcharts have-been reviewed and revisedTwhere necessary to ensure the proper step numbers a.t the entry / exit. arrows '
are correct providing proper transition. directions (ST).
-
Item 7 <
Terminology used in certain flowcharts is ambig'uous. These terms require concise definitions that are clearly understood by.the:
operators. q
'
Response Administrative ~ Procedure A-94, " Preparation of Transient Response Implementation Plan (TRIP) Procedures," has been revised to define terms such as " stabilize", " shutdown", and " consider"E(ST). -We are *
evaluating if the TRIPS should~give more guidance on-how the operator-can determine if the reactor is " shutdown" (LT). ,
,
Item 8 The RPV Control procedure, T-101, step RC/P-14,' directed an operator
,
to hold at this step until " power is below 4%." The PSTG requires that the operator' determine if the reactor.is " shutdown" at this point.
s Resoonse
T-101 step RC/P-14 has been revised to verify the reactor is
" shutdown" rather than " power...below 4%" (ST).
!
Item 9 The-Primary Containment Control procedure,;T-102, steps SP/L-22 and-SP/T-14, permit depressurization only if boron injection is not i required. The PSTG requires depressurization regardless of whether boron injection is-required.
Response ,
i The wording "UNLESS BORON IS REQUIRED" has been removed from T-102-
. (ST). q

Item 10 1 The Primary Containment. Control procedure, T-102, step SP/L 3 has=a note which states that at 17.8 feet suppression pool level, the SPOTMOS temperature 1 indication becomes~ invalid. The' note does not direct the operator to use an alternate indication, in this case
-
Residual Heat Removal (RHR) pump suction temperature indication with an RHR pump in service.
~
.
~
I Response.
Note #2 of T-102 has been revised to add use of the RHR suction temperature indicator with the RHR pump running (ST).
Item 11 The Emergency Blowdown procedure, T-112,-. steps'EB-1, EB-2 and.EB-3, require the operator to-SCRAR the reactor and enter the SCRAM procedure, T-100. This action ~is considered by'the inspection team to-be a redundant step since all T-112 entry conditions but one, T-102 DW/T, already direct tne reactor to be SCRAMed prior to entering T- ;
112.-
Response We are evaluating placing the SCRAM direction in T-102 DW/T and removing it from the T-112 procedure.(LT). .
,
i Item 12 l T-112 step EB-19 directed securing HPCI on high suppression pool.
L level. This is considered to be. redundant due to this guidance-l. appearing in T-102,
Response Step EB-19 of T-ll2 has been deleted (ST).
Item 13-The' north and south stack process radiation monitor HI-HI' alarm-setpoints, used as entry conditions into the Radioactivity Release Centrol procedure, T-104, are conservative with respect to the BNR Owners Group Emergency Procedure-Guideline-(EOP) entry condition; q requireraent of " release rate above the offsite release rate which ,
requires'an Alert." The T-104 entry conditions'are satisfactory with e respect to monitored releases, but do not directly address-the unmonitored release path scenario.

'been revised to give ection to enter T-104 on appropriste radiological. conditions ;ST). 'The.PSTG has been' revised to incorporate the above changos'(ST). [
Control Room and Plant Walkdowns, Sections 5.0.and'10.0- j Item 1
'
Based on walkdowns performed during the Emergency. Operating Procedure.
(EOP) Inspecti~on,'the glare from the plexiglass covering'the flowcharts in the Main Control Room'(MCR)'is excessive.- The glare.
makes it difficult to use the procedures.
. .
Response Actions are being planned to. reduce the glare on the' plexiglass-(L'T).
Item 2 Non-licensed operators (NLOs) occasionally.had difficulty in locating infrequently operated valves during the walkdown of the-T-200' series procedures.
Response ,
.'
The T-200 series procedures will be evaluated to determine why operators are having difficulties.in locating valves-and appropriate l actions will be taken to resolve this problem (LT).
l Simulator, Section 6.0
!
Item 1 One of the comments noted during the plant walkdown was that-the curves in the Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS)Lin the plant do not agree with the curves in the TRIP procedures.- The SPDS was not used by operators in the simulator because it is not yet functional lin the simulator.

The current location of the SPDS monitors is not. conducive for use by.
the shift supervisor while using the TRIP-procedures. .The'SPDS'
monitors'a're located on the shift supervisors desk and.the reactor operators computer desk. The TRIP procedures are used byfthe shift supervisor on the back of the reactor operators. computer. desk.

using the TRIPS can read the terminals is being evaluated and appropriate actions will be determined (LT).- .
l Human Factors Review of the EOPs, Unresolved. Item 90-80-02,'
.
l Section 7.0
~I Item 1-Two principal human factors concerns about.the TRIP flowcharts were ;
identified: size and complexity. T-10l=(RPV Control) and T-102- !
'
(Primary Containment Control) are inconvenient to use because of their dimensions. The size of the flowcharts is'related.to the wording of ;
the step instructions which are frequently long and complex.
Response Actions are being planned to reduce the size, words, and steps of flowcharts (LT). Additionally, specific human factors-findings .,
itemized in Attachment C will be addressed by an encompassing' human' !
factors review (LT).

.
Item 3 Step RC/P-8 of T-101 has the operator open the-Main Steam Isolation-Valves.(MSIVs) to provide a heat sink, using procedure T-221 if
.
necessary. ' T-101 did not " Restore Instrument Air" after:a LOCA;-signal per procedure SE-10, nor.did T-221 restore instrument air to the outboard MSIVs. Without' instrument air, the Outboard MSIVs could not ,
be opened.
l Response l We added the proper steps to T-221 prior tolthe inspection team-departing the site (ST). Additionally, we will review whether.T-101- .
also requires a' revision for this concern (LT).
Item 4 The T-102 related curves in the SPDS did not match the current revision of the BWR Owners Group EOPs. SPDS does caution the operators that the curves currently in SPDS are not valid for use-with'
the TRIP procedures.
Response Revision to the SPDS curves is ongoing and is expected to be completed by October 31, 1990..

Inspection Report 50-352, 353/90-80
.
Response A-94 and the TRIP procedures will be reviewed with the carrent direction provided in NUREG/CR-5228 and a tesolution will be determined for the difference identified (LT).
Item 5 A-44 does not provide guidance on the method of verification, i e., it .
does nut say what will be done to verify a procedure or procedure revision. A-94 also provides no guidance on how problems identified during this verification will be resolved.
Response Additional guidance will be included in A-94 on methods of verification and validation (LT). ,
Items 6 and 7 A-94 does not provide guidelines for determining when verification.is required and.when validation is requ2 red. These decisions are left to ths discretion of the procedure writer who makes recommendations to
) the Plant Operations Review Committee (PORC). Additionally, A-94 does not make it completely clear that verification and validation apply to satellite procedures (T-200 series) as well as to the flowcharts. Of particular concern is the need to make sure that satellite procedures are walktd down in sufficient detail to make sure that they are
'
accurate, feasible, and appropriate for the emergency situations that the in plant components involved can be readily located; and that the tools, materials, and equipment needed to perform the tasks are available.
Response Actions will be planned to ensure that all T-200 series and satellite procedures receive verification and validation (LT). j A root cayse investigation of the noted EOP/ TRIP findings is not expecte, o yield significant or opecific corrective actions for the process. Therefore, we do not plan to conduct- ,ach an investigation.
The cover letter that transmitted the inspection report also requested that we review these findings to determine if they af'fect the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (PBAPS) TRIP procedures. These items were discussed with Operations Support personnel at PBAPS and they agreed to perform the review. Additionally, these findings will be
, incorporated into the Nuclear Group Administrative Procedure which is being developed to provide a 5onmon procedure for the TLIP procedure develepment process and wr3cers guide for both LGS and PBAPS. ;
