B NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION I E WAsHINGTof' o.c. N4001 4,*...* January 7, 1998 Mr. J. J. Kelly, Manager Owners Group Services Framatome Technologies, Inc, P. O. Box 10935 Lynchburg, VA 24506 0935
SUBJECT:
NRC EVALUATION OF B&WOG TOP CAL REPORT BAW 10167, SUPPLEMENT 3, JUSTIFICATION FOR INCREASING THE REACTOR Ti.'P SYSTEM ON LINE TEST INTERVALS
Dear Mr. Kelly:
r The purpose of this letter is to provide the enclosed safety evaluation report (SER) on the B&WOG Topical Report BAW 10167, Supplement 3 prepared by B&W Nuclear Technologies for the B&WOG Regulatory Reduction working group. This Topical Report was submitted to the NRC by letter dated June 7,1996, and presents justification for extending the on-line surveillance test interval (STI) for reactor trip devices comprised of reactor trip breakers, reactor trip modules, and electronic trip relays from a one month to a six-month interval. The B&WOG submitted an amendment to the topical report dated November 5,1997, to change the trip devices STI from the proposed six inonths to a three month interval. The amendment listed the editorial changes to the topical report to reflect a three month STI and committed to incorporate these changes in the " approved" version of the topical report following staff arproval. The staff finds this report, as amended, acceptable and agrees that the STl for the reactor trip devices can be extended for all B&W plants (except Three Mile Island) to the requested interval. Three Mile Island was not represented by the B&WOG on this issue. in accordance with procedures established in NUREG 0390," Topical Reports Review Status," we request that the B&WOG publish acceptea revisions of BAW 10107, Supplement 3, within three months of receipt of this letter. The accepted versions should (1)incorreate all changes as per amendment,(2) incorporate this letter and the enclosed SER between the title page and the abstract, and (3) include an A (designated accepted) following the report identification symbol. Should our acceptance criteria or regulations change so that our conclusions as to the acceptability of this report are no longer valid, the B&WOG and/or the licensees referencing this topical report will be expected to revise and resubmit their respective documentation, or submit justification for the continued applicability of the topical report without revision. 9V7 gg M.E CEN1B# pfg0 ,.
