.:.~i.E UCTION AND

SUMMARY

en re5ruary 25, 1983, both of the scram circuit breakers at Unit 1 of the Salem

..s.iear Power Plant failed to open upon an automatic reactor trip signal from the reactor protection system. The incident was tenninated 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 to this incident, on February 22, C, Unit 1 of the Salem Nuclear Power Plant, an automatic trip signal was generated based on steam generator low-low level during plant start-up. In this case, the reactor was tripped manually by the operator almost coin-cidentally with the automatic trip.

Following these incidents, on February 28, 1983, the NRC Executive Director for Operations (ED0), 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 incidents are reported in NUREG-1000 " Generic Implications of the ATWS l

Events at the Salem Nuclear Power Plant." As a result of this investigation, the Commission (NRC) requested (by Generic Letter 83-28 dated July 8,1983I) all licensees of operating reactors, applicants for an operating license, and holders of construction pennits to respond to generic issues raised by the analyses of these two ATWS events, i

This report is an evaluation of the response submitted by Union Electric Company, the licensee for the Callaway Plant, Unit 1 for Item 2.1 (Part 1) of Generic Letter 83-28. The actual documents reviewed as part of this evaluation are listed in the references at the end of the report.

Item 2.1 (Part 1) requires the licensee to confirm that all Reactor Trip System components are identified, classified and treated as safety-related as indicated in the following statement:

Licensees and applicants shall confirm that all components whose functioning is required to trip the reactor are identified as .

safety-related on documents, procedures, and information handling systems used in the plant to control safety-related activities, in-cluding maintenance, work orders, and parts replacement.

EVALUATION The licensee for the Callaway Plant Unit I responded to the requirements of Item 2.1 (Part 1) with a series of submittals 2,3,4,5,6 referenced below. The first three submittals described the licensee's classification program that was

being developed and provided progress reports. The licensee stated in the final two submittals that the program was fully implemented and reaffinned that all com-ponents that are required to perform the reactor trip function were reviewed to verify that these components are classified as safety-related equipment. The licensee further stated that the developed 0 list is used in the generation of

)

wo-k requests and in assignment of surveillance and preventative meintenance sasks.

CONCLUSION Based on our review of these responses, we find the licensee's statements confirm that a program exists for identifying, classifying and treating ccmponents that are required for performance of the reactor trip function as safety related. This program meets the requirements of Item 2.1 (Part 1) of the Generic Letter 83-28, and is therefore acceptable.
