M. J. Ariano (RO), M. C. Tacelosky (RO). D. H. Gore (RO),

C.J.Eilola(RO),D.K.Hildebrand(RO),P.J.Habbershon(RO),

Dear Sir:

On October 31, 1990, USNRC Region 1 informed Philadelphia Electric Company that Senior Reactor Operator Licenses and Reactor-Operator Licenses were issued for the subject 4hiladelphia Electric Company employees for Peach

- Bottom Units 2 and 3.

Bec ase these individuals were trained and examined on a_ revised set ofzTransient Response implementing Procedures (TRIP's) which have-not yet been placed in effect in the. Peach Bottom control room, the i

following restrictions on licensed duties were imposed _by_the Superintendent--

1 Operations in a letter to the Shift Managers dated November 1, 1990:

a.-

subject Reactor Operators shall not be assigned as Chief Operator or as.the Unit Reactor Operator of_ record on a Unit which is not i

shutdown until the new TRIP's are issued.

b.

subject Senior Reactor Operators shall not be assigned as Control' Room Shift _ Supervisor until the new TRIP's are issued.

T, Lee H. Bettenhausen November 8, 1990 Page 2 The bases for these restrictions are as follows:

1.

The new SRO licensees, while trained on the existing 1 RIP's as Reactor Operators, were not trained on them as SR0's.

Precluding them from assignment as Control Room Shift Supervisor means that they will not have SRO duties associated with implementation of the existing TRIP's Sn either Unit.

2.

The restrictions imposed on the R0 licensees preclude them from assignment of licensed operator of record duties associated with a Unit which is not shutdown. While these individuals were not trained on the existing TRIP's, their performance of licensed duties on a shutdown Unit (Unit 3 is currently shutdown for a mid-cycle outage) is acceptable because:

A.

The 1 RIP's are designed primarily for conditions other than

shutdown, b.

The R0 duties are supervised by a Senior Reactor Operator who has been trained on the existing TRIP's, c.

The likelihood of occurrence of an entry condition into T-101 or T-102 with the Unit shutdown is very remote.

Should an entry condition occur with the Unit in outage, initial reactor operator actions would essentially already be complete or would not be applicable for a Unit in outage and reliance would be placed on the Shift Supervisor to direct use of the TRIP's, d.

The likelihood of occurrence of an entry condition into T-103 or T-104 with the Unit shutdown is very remote.

Should an entry condition occur, the operator response is closely directed by the Shift Supervisor and the differences between the existing TRIP's and those used for RO training would not adversely influence performance by the Reactor Operator.

These restrictions were discussed with Mr. J. lyash, USNRC Resident inspector on November 5, 1990 and this information is being transmitted to you per his request.

Sincerely, f
