BACKGROUND Joint Contention VII(4) alleges:

Applicante have failed to demonstrate that the steam generators to be used in the Harris Plant are adequately designed and can be operated in a manner consistent with the public health and safety.

in light of (4) existing tube failure analy-ses.

In the Harris Plant Safety Evaluation Report ("SER"),

NUREG-1038, S 15.6.3 (November 1983), the Staff held as an open item Applicants' analysis of the design basis steam generator tube rupture event.

The Staff requires additional information regarding operator response and the assumed isolation time for the affected steam generator.

Intervenor Wells Eddleman filed a new Contention 180 based on the SER open item.

" Wells Eddleman's New Contentions and Amended Deferred Contentions in Response to Staff SER," dated January 17, 1984.

Applicants and Mr. Eddleman agreed that the allegation in proposed Contention 180 was encompassed in the issue raised by Joint Contention VII(4).

The Board greed.

Tr. 771 (Telephone Conference Call, March 8, 1984).

The, assumption regarding operator response time in the 4

event of a steam generator tube rupture to isolate the affected steam generator is.not an issue unique to the Harris Plant but rather involves considerations generic to all pressurized water reactors.

A Steam Generator Tube Rupture Subgroup of the Westinghouse owners' Group has established a program to a.

~

substantiate the assumed operator response time in the event of a steam generator tube rupture and to evaluate the consequences of the failure of the operator to preclude an overfill condi-tion in the affected steam generator.

However, the final re-sults of this generic analysis will not be available prior to the safety hearings scheduled to begin October 1984.

II.

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT Joint Intervenors agree to withdraw that aspect of Joint Contention VII(4) which relates to operator response time in the event of a steam generator tube rupture.1/

Applicants agree to accept a condition to the operating license for the Harris Plant, as follows:

Prior to startup, following the first refueling outage, Applicants shall submit-for NRC review and receive approval of a steam generator tube rupture analysis, including the assumed operator actions, which demonstrates that the consequences of the design basis steam generator tube rup-ture event for the Shearon Harris plant are less than the acceptance criteria specified in the Standard Review Plan, NUREG-0800, at S 15.6.3 Subpart II(l) and (2) for calculated doses from radiological releases.

In preparing their analysis Applicants will not

. assume that operators will complete corrective

. actions within the first thirty minutes after a steam generator tube rupture.

~

1/

Joint Intervenors have not withdrawn the_one remaining al-Tegation encompassed in Joint Contention VII(4) that Applicants have failed to consider multiple tube ruptures in their steam generator tube rupture analysis.

III.

MOTION Applicants and Joint Intervenors respectfully petition the Board to adopt and implement the above Settlement Agreement by entering an Order to the effect that (1) the issue related to operator response time in the event of a steam generator tube rupture has been disposed of by agreement among the parties, and (2) the Director, Nuclear Reactor Regulation, shall include the proposed license condition in any license issued to Appli-cants for operation of the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant.
