Dear Mr. Eisenhut:

This letter requests an extension of time for submittals in response to the NRC letter (Reference 1) for the BWR plants owned by - Philadelphia Electric Company.

Philadelphia Electric Company is a member of the BWR Owners' Group (BWROG), and we have endorsed the BWROG - response to NRC Generic Letter 83-28 (Reference 2).

We are participating in the Group's generic evaluation and in order to best utilize this BWROG ef fort, a time extension is needed to respond for Peach Bottom Units 2 and 3 and Limerick Units 1 and 2.

This extension of time will be required to respond' to

~

those issues in Generic Letter 83-28 regarding Section 2.1, Equipment' Classification and Vendor Interf ace.(Reactor Trip System components)l and Section 4.5, Reactor Trip System

~ Reliability -(System Functional Testing).

iBecause'our BWR plants do.not share the des gn features

~

i which f ailed at the Salem ~ plant, we consider a, time extension to-

..have _no significant impact on public health 'and safety.

q,=

.While participating in the 'BWROG program, -we -will icontinue 'to;evaluatefour capabilities in more detail.

After

-completion of the' BWROG-developed guidelines f or assessing -plant capabilities ;in response to. Reference.1,_ we.will develop the NRC requested. documentation:of our' plant assessment and submit our response to these ' issues. to the NRC by February 29, 1984.

We -are also requesting an extension of time = for J

-responding to'Section 2.2.2 of the Generic Letter.

We are a member of a-INPO Nuclear - Utility Task Action Committee' (NUTAC) f ormed on September.1,1983, ' f or the specific purpose of defining an appropriate vendor-interface program for all other safety related_ components..In. view of our continuing participi tion in

-;the INPO-Significant Event 3 valuation & Information Network (SEE-

~IN)(program, which provides us with timelyf inf ormation regarding industry experiences and: potential-concerns, we believe that a-time' extension will have no-immediate impact on public health and 2

safety.

While participating' in the -NUTAC, we will concurrently -

-evaluate, in more detail,' our existing ~. capabilities 'for.

i

interfacing with:our, vendors. _After, completion of'the'NUTAC's eff orts, which Jis ~ expected to be complete ~ by LFebruary 1, 1984, we

.will' submit'ourfprogram description to the'NRC_by April 15, 1984.

If you have any comments or questions, please do not 0 hesitate to contact us..

very truly yours, 4
