VOGTLE ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT l REQUEST TO REVISE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS ELIMINATION OF PERIODIC PRESSURE SENSOR RESPONSE TIME TESTS AND ELIMINATION OF PERIODIC PROTECTION CHANNEL RESPONSE TIME TESTS l

By letter dated July 13,1998, (LCV-1175) Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC) proposed to revise the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant (VEGP) Unit I and Unit 2 Technical Specifications (TS) to eliminate periodic response time testing requirements on selected

. sensors and selected protection channels. In support of their review of the proposed amendment, the NRC staff has requested additionalinformation. The requested information .

is provided in the enclosed Response to Request for Additional Information.  ;

Sincerely.

Enclosure Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Request to Revise Technical Specifications Elimination Of Periodic Pressure Sensor Response Time Tests And Elimination Of Periodic Protection Channel Response Time Tests Response to Request for Additional Information Questions:

1. Please state which protection channel equipment is in the RPS and ESF systems.
2. Do the model versions and the printed circuit board revision level match the equipment analyzed in the WOG submittal?  ;

3. For sensors where RTT will no longer be performed, w hat assumed response time is being used, and how was that number derived? If the assumed response time value was derived from historical data, please provide that data.

j Answers:

1. The requested information is provided in the following table.
2. Yes, the Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) in WCAP- 14036 Rev.1, is applicable to the equipment actually installed at Vogtle Units I and 2, and the analysis is valid for the versions of boards utilized. <
