Gentlemen:

This letter concerns your November 15, 1985 letter in which you responded to

the Notice of Violation identified in Inspection Report 50-387/85-28, 50-388/

85-23, issued on October 17, 1985. The violation addressed the adequacy of

channel functional tests (CFTs) on the High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI)

system.

In conjunction with NRR, Region I has reviewed your response and finds

it unacceptable. Our position is that CFTs for instrumentation channels must

test all components up to the point where single action signals are combined.

PP&L's methodology for CFTs for HPCI and other ECCS and Isolation actuation

systems, excludes certain components (e.g. relays) in the channel upstream of

the combinational logic.

We request that you resubmit within 30 days, a reply to this Notice of Viola-

tion addressing the information required by the Notice.

In addition, as dis-

'

cussed with Mr. Barberich of your staff, we have scheduled a meeting on March

14, 1986 at 10:00 a.m. in the Region I Offices, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania,

to further discuss this issue. At this meeting, you should be prepared to dis-

cuss your plans and schedule to correct the testing deficiencies in your CFTs

for instrumentation channels. A discussion of specific examples of different

tests would prove useful. Questions concerning this matter may be directed to

Jack Strosnider, Region I Project Section Chief at 215-337-5128.

Your cooperation with us is appreciated.

Sincerely,

Origina1 Signed Ryg

Richard W. Starostecki, Director

Division of Reactor Projects
