Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit No. 2 Docket No. 50-412, License No. NPF-73 Response to NRC Concern Contained Within Examination Report No. 50-412/88-06 (OL)
Gentlemen:
j By letter dated May 9,
1988, the NRC provided Duquesne Light Company (DLC) with Examination Report No. 50-412/88-06 (OL).
In the letter the NRC expressed a concern stemming from DLC's comments on the examination questions which relate to the Abnormal Operating Procedures (AOPs).
The NRC requested that we review this issue and-provide a
response regarding our policy and any actions planned to resolve it.
It is stated in the Way 9th letter that some AOPs appear to require prompt operator actions and, therefore, should be memorized.
It was further noted that our AOPs identify no immediate actions, l
only "manual" actions.
We were requested to review our operational 1
practices and procedures and identify those time-dependent actions needed to mitigate the consequences of the abnormal conditions for i
i inclusion in the AOPs.
Through a
review of Attachment 3 to the May 9th
- letter, and the information immediately preceding the above
- request, we believe that two issues require a response:
(1) the identification of immediate manual actions in the AOPs, and (2) our policy as to the operational practice concerning those actions.
Based on the above our response follows.
We are currently reviewing the AOPs to determine critical time-dependent actions.
The review is being performed for both the Unit-2 and the Unit-1 AOPs.
After this review is completed, the changes identified will be reviewed and incorporated into the operating manual.
Based on the current status of the above actions, we are scheduling them for completion by December 30, 1988.
Immediate manual actions identified and inccrporated into the AOPs
)
will be subject to the same operational philosophy as the immediate manual actions in the Emergency Operating Procedures.
Consequently, they will require memorization.
