• Attn: J. B. Martin, Regional Administrator Region V 1450 Maria Lan'.. Suite 210 t Walnut Creek, CA 94596 Docket No. 50-312 Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station License No. DPR-54 CERTIFICATION FOR REACTOR HEATUP

Dear Mr. Martin:

This response to your request dated January 20, 1988, is to inform you of our intent.to begin heatup of Rancho Seco from its current cold shojdown

(<2000F) condition. Heatup will begin upon completion of all schedUed activities per'the preapproved startup schedule and proceed until hot shutdown conditions (>5250F) have been reached. Af ter completing hot functional testing, we will provide you with certification of our ability to enter hot standby (i.e., reduce the shutdown margin and take the reactor critical) and commence with power operation.

We have initiated Operating Procedure B.1 A "Control of Plant Hettup and Operating Procedure for Power Escalation Testing" and have completed the necessary prerequisites for heatup from cold shutdown. In confirming the accraplishment of the prerequisites, we have verified that:

e Technical Specification and procedural prerequisites for

( continuing the startup beyond cold shutdown have been satisfied (Procedure B.1 A, Sections 4.1.8, 4.1.15 ) ,

c2

-m o Procedures needed for continuing the startup beyond cold shutdown i

are available and operators have been trained in their use 80 (L1.3,4.1.13),

cm

• e Plaat staffing meets the Technical Specifications and procedural

$$ requirements (4.1.19, 4.1.20, 4.1.21'), and c)o l $3$ e 7he Plant Review Committee (PRC) and the Management Safety Review j 8 Committee (MSRC) have provided their review and approval to j gg continue the startup beyond cold shutdown (4.1.17, 4.1.18).

m a. a.

• The modifications to the TDI diesel generators have been tested and i the recults indicate that vibrations are within the established  !

acceptance criteria (i.e., ANSI /ASME OM3-1?B2). ,, p (

In addition, the AGM Nuclear Power Production, AGM Technical and Administrative Services, Director of ManagemerS Systems, Director of Nuclear '

Quality and I have met with each appropriate department to ensure that all  !

mattert, such as regulatory and management commitments are closed, paperwork is in proper order, procedures are properly prepared, reviewed and approved and l that personnel are trained and ready tc support safe heatup. l Tc the best of my belief and knowledge, kancho Seco has met the necessary i picce

!. Wafe'quisites prior tosystem reactor coolant leaving the cold dutdown condition and proceeding with heatup.
