Subject:
' Docket Nos. 50-361 and 50-362 Technical Specification 3.8.1 San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station Units 2 and 3
~ This letter addresses Technical Specification 3.8.1, Action B.2 for San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Units 2 and 3.
For one required diesel generator
-(06) inoperable, Action 3.8.1.B.2 states:
Declare required feature (s) supported by the inoperfle DG inope:able when its redundant required feature (s) is inoperable.
The first sentence of the Basis for Action 3.8.1.B.2 states:
Requircd Action.B.2 is intended to provide assurance-that a loss of l
offsite power, during the period that a DG is inoperable, does not result in a complete loss of safety function of critical systems.
Southern California Edison (SCE) has historically interpreted this Action L
statement to apply to critical accident mitigation equipment which relies on j_
either offsite power or a DG for motive power; e.g., pumps and valves. The specific components are listed in San Onofre procedures.
SCE does not apply this action to instrumentation which is connected to a tattery backed source.

j
'It is.our understanding that this is consistent with the general industry interpretation of this Action statement.
l
,In order to clearly define the required actions, SCE is prepa ing a change to the Bases'for Action 3.8.1.B.2, which will specify the critical components and L
their associated Technical Specifications. This change will be provided to l/
the NRC by November 21, 1997, for information or approval, as appropriate, in accordance with the provisions of the Bases control program in Technical
[0CI Specification 5.4.
