Response to NRC Concern Contained Within

Examination Report No. 50-412/88-06 (OL)

Gentlemen

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 Abnormai 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

May

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,

only

"manual"

actions.

We were requested to review our operational

practices

and

procedures

and

identify those time-dependent actions

needed

to

mitigate

the

consequences of the abnormal conditions for

inclusion

in

the

AOPs.

Through

a

review of Attachment 3 to the

May

9th

letter,

and the information immediately preceding the above

request,

wo

believe

that

two

issues

require a retponse:

(1) the

identificacien

of

immediate

manual actions in the AOPs, and (2) our

policy

as

to

the

operational

practico

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.

Af.ter 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.

L

Immediate

manual

actions

identified

and incorporated into the AOPs

will

be

subject

to the same operational philosochy as the immediate

i

jnnual

actions

in the Emergency Operating Procedures.

Consequently,

.

th(y will require memorization.
