Carolina Power & LigM Company NLS-88-004 J AN 21 1988 United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATTENTION: Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555 BRUNSWICK STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT, UNIT NOS.1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-325 & 50-324/ LICENSE NOS. DPR-71 & DPR-62 SAFETY PARAMETER DISPLAY SYSTEM Gentlemen:
The current schedule for op(erability of the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP) Safety Parameter Display System SPDS)is June 1989 for Unit I and July 22,1988 for Unit 2.
Carolina Power & Light Company (CP&L) hereby informs you of a change in this implementation schedule such that the SPDS would be operable for both units by December 15,1988. We believe that this change is reasonable and will not impact the safe operation of BSEP.
The SPDS displays for BSEP were developed concurrently with the Emergency Operating Procedures (EOP) and the Detailed Control Room Design Review (DCRDR). These initiatives were based on Revision 4 of the BWR Owners' Group generic Emergency Procedure Guidelines (EPG). This approach was taken per the requirements of NUREG-0737, Supplement 1. This ensures that the individual initiatives were appropriately integrated to meet the needs of control room operators and provide 1
adequate emergency response capabilities.
The original schedule was to complete the EOP and DCRDR projects, train control room operators, and implement the EOP prior to operability of the SPDS. However, delays in the approval of Revision 4 of the EPG by the BWR Owners' Group and the NRC has caused the schedule for implementation of Revision 4 of the BSEP EOP to become concurrent with SPDS implementation.
in order to ensure that the SPDS display information is technically correct and consistent with the EOP and EPG, the EOP must be validated and implemented. The current schedule for Unit 2 SPDS operab.!ity does not allow for adequate operator training time on both the EOP and SPDS. In addition, operator feedback from training could not be adequately incorporated into the EOP and SPDS projects.
The schedule change would delay the Unit 2 SPDS operability from July 22,1988 until December 15,1988 but result in the operation of the Unit i SPDS six months earlier than currently scheduled. This common implementation allows for greater consistency in j
operator training and the operation of the plant. This would also eliminate any human factors concerns based on SPDS availability for only one of the two units.

Based on the above discussion, CP&L believes that the completion schedule revision is justified.
