SUMMARY

OF MEETING WITH PHILADELPHIA ELECTRIC COMPANY PROPOSED SAFETY PARAMETER DISPLAY SYSTEM (SPDS) AT THE PEACH BOTTOM FACILITY Introduction On June 14, 1985, the NRC staff met with representatives of Philadelphia Electric Company (the licensee) in Bethesda, Maryland to further discuss the proposed Peach Bottom Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS). The list of participants is included as Enclosure 1.

Discussion By letter dated April 3,1985, the NRC staff sent to the licensee a review of the Peach Bottom proposed SPDS based upon the staff's review of the licensee's submittals of September 28, 1983 and July 17, 1984 and an in-plant audit of the Peach Bottom SPDS. The licensee requested a follow-up meeting to further discuss the staff's findings and conclusions as addressed in the April 3,1985 transmittal and a telephone conference call. The NRC staff agreed to this meeting in order to provide the licensee with an opportunity to more fully describe the proposed SPDS and respond to the April 3,1985 transmittal.

A summary of licensce's description of its proposed SPDS and responses to the staff's review is attached as Enclosure 2.

The licensee's proposed SPDS is based upon the Emergency Procedure Guidelines (EPG) in place at Peach Bottom at the time of the design of the SPDS. Integration of all Nureg 0737, Supplement I goals was basis of the proposed SPDS at Peach Bottom. The proposed SPDS under review by the staff would be replaced in 1990 by an updated SPDS in connection with the installation of upgraded process control computer.

The NRC staff agreed that further review of the Peach Bottom SPDS was warranted based upon the licensee's presentation and the fact that the licensee was in the planning stages to install a new process control ccmputer and associated computer assisted SPDS. The licensee was asked to respond to the the staff's April 3,1985 transmittal as well as include documentation on the status of the new process computer (e.g., time frame, costs, individual SPDS versus integrated SPDS with new process computer etc.).

The licensee agreed to submit the above information in support of its proposed SPDS as interim compliance to Nureg-0737, Supplement 1 prior to the installation of a new process control computer and associated SPDS.
