souparises is entended to tastede plant differeness. 'With these comparisons in mind; and, with the initial revieve of Dresden 2/3 and Iti11 stone resently eempleted, I propose to request that the appli-cant identify and evaluate saly the differences in instrumentation design and/or design eriteria. h applicant's respease to this approach will be determined during the first'techatsal meeting and the instrumentation questions provided below may be modified to refleet his willingness to eseparate.; h electric power system designs, being unique to this plant, are not included in the comparisom. approach.

1.

You have provided in Table 1-6 2 of the FSAR a listing of plant systems which differ from the designs of Dresden, Units 2 and 3, and Millstone, Unit 1.

Please extend-this comparison to include the identification and evaluation of the differesses in your instrumentation designs and/or design criteria from those of Dresden for each of the systems listed belows a.

15. There are two 345 kv and thrse 115 kv transmission lines emanating from the switchyard which are connseted to your grid system.

Pro-vide a description and an evaluation of the number of right-of-ways; number, type, and sine of towers per right-of way; and namsber of circuits per tower.

16.

submit a description and evaluation of (1) the switchyard circuit breaker controle and the power supplies for these controls sad (2) the automatic transfer from normal auxiliary to any of the reserve power sources. Your evaluation should show that no single failure can preclude the availability of offsite power to the engineered safety features.

State whether the switchyard controls are under the direct sontrol of the reacter operater..

Sehesit and justify the bases used to determine the kw rating of each lead listed in Table 8-4-2.

Table 8-4-2 should be amended to' include all necessary emergency and shutdown loads and corrected to remove all inconsistencies. Further, submit a description of the preopera*

tional test and an analysis to show that each diesel generator is capable of sustaining the loss of the largest lead any time during a DBA or an emergency shutdown.

19.

Submit a description and an evaluation of the consequences of single failures on the design of instrumentation and controls (automatic relaying) of the diesel generator emergency power system.

20.

Submit an evaluation to show that electrical independence between redundant battery chargers and between diesel generators is not compromised by the circuitry which permits either battery charger to be energised from either diesel.

21. Evaluate the consequences of single failures on the instrumentation
i which automatically transfers to the redundant 125 vde source upon failure of the normal source.

22.

The description of the physical independance of the battery systems l

is not consistent with the single battery room shown in Figure 12-2-2.
