INTRODUCTION AND
SUMMARY
.0n February 25, 1983, both of the scram circuit breakers at Unit 1 of the Salem Nuclear Power Plant failed to open upon an automatic reactor trip signal from the reactor protection system. This incident was terminated manually by the operator about 30 seconds after the initiation of the automatic trip signal. The failure of the circuit breakers was determined to be related to the sticking of the undervoltage trip attachment. Prior I
to this incident, on February 22, 1983, an automatic trip signal was y
generated at Unit 1 of the Salem Nuclear Power Plant based on steam generator low-low level during plant startup. In this case, the reactor 1
was tripped manually by the operator almost coincidentally with the automatic trip.
i Following these incidents, on February 28, 1983, the NRC Executive Director of Operations (EDO), directed the staff to investigate and report on the generic implications of these occurrences at Unit 1 of the Salem Nuclear Power Plant. The results of the staff's inquiry into the generic implications of the Salem Unit 1 incidents are reported in NUREG-1000,
" Generic Implications of the ATWS Events at the Salem Nuclear Power Plant."
As a result of this investigation, the Comission (NRC).
requested (by Generic Letter 83-28, dated July 8, 1983) all licensees of operating reactors, appl.icants for an operating license, and holders of construction permits to respond to generic issues raised by the analyses of these two ATWS events.
This report is an evaluation of the responses submitted from a group of siellar pressurized water reactors for Item 2.1 (Part 1) of 3
The results of the reviews of several plant responses are reported on in this document to enhance review efficiency. The specific plants i
reviewoo in this report were selected based on the similarity of plant design and convenience of review. The actual documents which were reviewed 1

PLANT RESPONSE EVALUATIONS J
2.1 R. E. G1nna Nuclear Power Plant. 50-244. TAC No. 52841 The licensee for the Ginna Nuclear Power Plant (Rochester Gas and Electric Corp) provided a response to Item 2.1 (Part 1) in a submittal dated November 4, 1983. The submittal states that the reactor trip system components were confirmed to be classified as safety-related. The controlling document for safety-related activities and.the identification of safety-related structures, systems and components is through Appendix A of the Quality Assurance Manual. This document contains guidance concerning the designation of safety-related equipment. Administrative procedures were identified that are used to control safety-related activities.
The licensee has plans for an expanded computerized system for listing l
safety-related items and controlling the activities associated with the safety-related items. This system was to be completed by the end of 1984.
However, a submittal from the licensee dated August 23, 1985 stated that the Computerized Maintenance Management System database and associated administrative procedures had not been completed. A new plan of action was to be developed by December 31, 1985.
Information received by telephone on I
May 7,1986 indicated that the Computerized Maintenance Management system j
had not been completed but is expected to be completed by the end of 1986.
2.2 Conclusion Based on our review of the licensee's responses, we find that the licensee's description of the presently existing program for identifying, classifying and treating reactor trip system components as safety-related meet the requirement of Item 2.1 (Part 1) of the Generic Letter 83-28, and are therefore acceptable. The licensee's planned program for the Computerized Maintenance Management System is relevant to the wider scope of Item 2.2.1 which deals with the all safety-related components of the entire plant. The new system and its status will be considered in the forthcoming review of Item 2.2.1.

2.3 Haddam Neck. 50-213. TAC No. 52843. Millstone 3. 50-423 (OL)
The licensee / applicant for Haddam Neck and Millstone Unit 3 (Northeast Nuclear Energy Co.) responded to the requirements of Item 2.l'(Part 1) in submittals dated November 8, 1983, May 9, 1985 and September 5, 1985.
The submittals state that all components whose function is required to trip the reactor are identified as Categ'ory 1 (safety related) on their Material.
4 Equipment and Parts List (MEPL) and that safety-related activities on these components including maintenance, work orders and parts replacement will be completed using Category 1 controls.
2.4 Conclusion Based on the review of the licensee's/ applicant's submittals, we find that the licensee's/ applicant's responses confirm that the components necessary to perform reactor trip are classified as safety related and that all activities relating to these components are designated as safety related. These responses, therefore, meet the requirements of Item 2.1 (Part 1) of Generic Letter 83-28, and are acceptable.

a 2.5 Shearon Harris Unit 1. 50-400 (OL)
The applicant for Shearon Harris Unit 1 (Carolina Power and Light Co.)
responded to the requirements of Item 2.1 (Part 1) in submittals dated November 7, 1983 and May 31, 1985. The applicant stated in the first' submittal that a Q-list identifying safety-related components was being developed along with implement 1'ng plant procedures.
In addition plant procedures were being developed to ensure that components whose function is required to trip the reactor are identified as safety-related on relevant documents to control safety-related activities. The May 31, 1985 provided i
confirmation that the Q-list had been completed.and the administrative controls implemented.
l 2.6 Conclusion Based on the review of the licensee's submittals, we find that the applicant has verified that the components that are necessary to perform reactor trip are classified as safety-related and that activities relating to the safety-related components are controlled by procedures which reflect the special requirements for handling safety-related components. We, therefore find that the applicant's responses meet the requirements of Item 2.1 (Part 1) and are acceptable.
