%,..U June 2, 1982 MEMORANDUM FOR: Dennis Crutchfield, Chief Operating Reactors Branch #5 Division of Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulations FROM:
Kenneth Perkins, Acting Chief Incident Response and Development Branch Division of Emergency Preparedness Office of Inspection and Enforcement
SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR DEFERMENT OF ITEMS 3 AND 10 AS LISTED IN GPU's LETTER OF DECEMBER 24, 1981 Steve Ramos of my staff met with Oyster Creek Generating Station, GPU and NRC Region I personnel on May 24, 1982, to discuss rationale for deferring the subject emergency preparedness items.
It was detennined that, although not specifically addressed, GPU's April 1,1982, letter responding to Region I's Confirmatory Action Letter of February 18, 1982 updates,GPU's December 24, 1981 letter where GPU requested deferment of the subject items.
In addition, it was revealed that GPUN, although not yet requested, plans to change the start of this next outage to December 1982 and extend the outage throughout calendar year 1983.
It also was detennined that the site for the permanent TSC has now been selected and that construction will be completed coincident with the outage (January 1,1984).
In view of the long shutdown period, cost benefits of concentrating on the permanent TSC and the fact the interim TSC, which was found to be acceptable on a temporary basis during exercises, will be fully operational during the refueling outage; the deferral of the subject items until completion of the outage, will not have a signifi-cant impact on the health and safety of the public and would be acceptable.
You should note however, that this is different from the. February 1985 date GPUN requested.
As further revealed during the May 24, 1982 meeting, GPUN plans to use a similar software program (it is assumed similar hardware) as that used for TMI and that all 400 isolators will be installed during the outage. This information plus the scheduled completion date of the pennanent TSC provides no justification for deferring completion of the Plant Computer and Emergency Response Facility Data System beyond a three month test and evaluation period after completion of the TSC, or April 1984.
Enclosure (1) provides changes to your proposed safety assessment reflecting the foregoing.

ENCLOSURE 1 SAFETY ASSESSMENTS Item 3 - Plant Computer and Emergency Response Facility Data Systems The meeting held with Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station personnel on May 24, 1982, confimed that GPU letter dated April 1, 1982, supersedes information and update the status of this system.
In addition, it was detemined that the date of the next outage is now planned to begin in DecemMr 1982,and will extend throughout calendar year 1983.
It was further determined that new isolators for the 400 point data system will be installed during this outage, the new permanent TSC j
will be completed by January 1,1984, and that GPU plans to use a similar computer program as will be used at Three Mile j
Island Nuclear Generating Station. As the reactor will be shutdown and go through refueling during the outage, the j
interim TSC and E0F have been demonstrated to be satisfactory as temporary facilities during exercises, and the pemanent TSC will be completed and operational in early 1984, deferral of this system until the permanent TSC is operational will not have a significant impact on the health and safety of the
s
.* public. However, the projected date of February 1985 is not considered acceptable. A date of April 1984 will provide sufficient time after completion of the permanent TSC to complete test and evaluation of the system and to coincide with the projected operational date of the TSC is considered realistic and would be acceptable.
Item 10 - NUREG-0696 Emergency Response /NSE Facilities This item was upgraded by GPU Nuclear letter dated April 1,1982 and, as discussed during meeting at Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station on May 24, 1982, supersedes the December 24, 1981 letter requesting deferral. 2mt:r M kE, of this item.
l During the May 24, 1982, meeting it was determined that relief was being requested for backup power supplies and other such items for the technical support center (TSC) as delineated in NUREG-0696, " Functional Criteria for Emergency Response Facilities."
In view of the fact that the current interim TSC has been demonstrated to be satisfactory as a temporary interim
~
facility during an exercise; the reactor is currently planned i
,. ~. -.. - - - - --
W 3-to be shutdown for an extended outage thoughout calendar year 1983; the interim TSC will be available during this periods the new permanent TSC itill be completed by January 1,1984,which coincides with the projected completion of the outage; and as the reactor will be in a refueling status; deterral of this project will not have a significant impact on the health and safety of the public. We find this to be acceptable.
