Gentlemen Georgia Power Company is supplying the information in this letter and its attachments as esquested by the NRC at the GPC -

NRC Region II meeting of December 1987. As discussed at the meeting, Gecrgia Power Company wall be applying for dual unit licenses for its operators licensed on unit i at ths Vogtle Electric Generating Plant in the fall of 1988.

Attachment I contains an overview of the formal training program to support the application for dual unit licenses.

Attachment 2 which have II contains tne differences between VEGP units 1 and been approved for inclusion in a differences training program for licensed operators.

Due to the limited number of differences and the nintaal operational effect of the differences. Georgia Power Company will request a waiver of both the written and operational (simulator and plant walkthroagh) exastnations for those licensed operators who complete the training program.

P roced u res, Primarily Abnormal and Emergency Operating Procedures Limitad operational differences should exist in the EOPs and AOPs.

These differences may include:

1. A reference in the remote shutdown AOP regarding the remote operation of the unit 2 DG fuel oil transfer pumps.

2. Reference in the EOPs to the sequencer reset pushbutton.

Conten1 Ecss Damian and Instrument Lncationa Control Room Layout The Unit 2 Main Control Board (QMCB) is a rotated image of the Unit 1 Main Control Board. On sections A, B, and C of the Main Control Board the left-right relationship for all the controls and displays is identical. This identical relationship for the A, B, and C section includes the board layout and labeling.

The Control Room Design Review will note any differences this summer.

None are planned or expected.

The one exception to identical layout on the Main Control Board is the D section. The D section was a backfit after the control room design was completed and floor space did not allow identical arrangement. an Section D contains the same equipment on both units (RVLIS, PSMS, and Main Steam Bypass Isolation Valves).

Section D is on the left end of section A on unit 1 and to the right of section B on unit 2. This will require looking lef' unit 1 and right on unit 2 to verify that the Main Steam Bypass on Isolation Valves are shut on a Main Steam Isolation.

There should be no impact on routine unit operation.

The rest of the Unit 2 Control Boards appear as if the Unit 1 Boards were moved west. Their appearance on unit 2 will be the s ame as on unit 1 if you are standing in front of them. The Electrical Auxiliary Board (GEAB) will appear somewhat different from the center of the control room. In unit 1 it is over the right This willshoulder and in unit 2 it will be over the left shoulder.

require a slightly different scanning pattern during immediate operator action in the EOPs but should have no impact on unit oseration. The high voltage section of the QEAB is different to reflect the differences in the switchyards but the Unit 2 inplant distribution systems will appear identical Unit 1.

The common distribution system is on the Unit 1 QEAB.

The control boards will be different to the extent that most common equipment is located on unit one. The Process and Effluent Radiation Monitoring System Panel (PERMS) non-safety related communications console for unit 2 will be at the west end of the QIAB instead of the east end of the Relay Panel as it is on unit 1. See AX5D52-A02 ( Attached ) for the control room layout.
