SUMMARY

OF NOVEMBER 16, 1992, ON THE DEGRADED GRID VOLTAGE SETPOINTS AT HATCH NUCLEAR PLANT (TAC NO. M80948) Introduction On November 16, 1992, the NRC staff met with Georgia Power Company (GPC or licensee) representatives and their consultants from Southern Company Services (SCS) in Rockville, Maryland. The meeting was held at NRC's request to discuss the licensee's plan and conclusion regarding the above subject. lists the attendees, and Enclosure 2 contains the meeting agenda. Discussion In its introduction, the NRC staff noted that this issue resulted from an Electrical Distribution System functional Inspection which was completed on July 12, 1991. During the inspection, GPC issued an Operating Order which specified certain actions to be performed if the 4160 volt essential busses -l fell below the minimum acceptable voltages. These actions include initiation -i of a one hour Limiting Condition of Operation (LCO) to restore safety-related ~ bus voltages, notification of management and NRC, declaration of an unusual-event, and an orderly plant shutdown if voltage is not restored. Subsequent-to the inspection, the NRC indicated the Operating Order was adequate as an-interim measure. 4 Following NRC staff's remarks, Mr. Bethay,.GPC, discussed the degraded grid issues and stated that GPC integrated the requirements for the existing electrical design with plant and system operations. He further stated that the methods currently in place provide a higher level of safety when compared to automatic controls. His statement was based on the reliability of the Southern Electric System, The Southern Company's control and procedures, and the low probability of the event. He also added that an orderly, fast shutdown is preferable to an automatic reactor scram. Thus, GPC concluded that-further enhancements are not needed and are not ccst beneficial. contains a copy of the viewgraphs used for his presentation. 4 Mr. Miller, SCS, discussed the makeup of the Southern Electric System and Hatch's. impact on it.; He stated that their Operation Centers provide-continuous monitoring and contingency analysis, and enumerated the actions that will be taken if-the 230 KV system fell below 101.3%. - contains a-copy of the viewgraphs used for his presentation. 28002. rg 3-9212310123 921221 ~ ' h- -_ P PDR ADOCK'05000321-I. )/ } i PDR ~ ,~- -~4-, _,w_...._m._, -.,,....,,,-,.,_.r.,_
