Dear Mr. Denton:
Based upor information provided in the VEGP Final Safety Analysis Report, the staff concluded in the VEGP Safety Evaluation Report that the implementation of appropriate procedures is an acceptable means of coping with ATWS on an interim basis for full-power operation. The staff also noted that future modifications would be needed to implement the ATWS rule. Since then, GPC has closely observed the developments in the industry in response to ATWS, in particular the design development and staff review of the Westinghouse ATWS Mitigation System Actuation Circuitry (AMSAC) (WCAP-10858). In July 1986, the staff issued its Safety Evaluation Report for. AMSAC accepting it as a nat;infactory means of addressing ATWS.
Because of the short time remaining until our scheduled fuel load for Unit 1 and the lengthy lead time for procurement and delivery of AMSAC equipment, GPC proposes to continue its reliance upon appropriate procedures for coping with ATWS on an interim basis for full power operation of Unit 1.
It is GPC's plan to design and implement AMSAC modifications for Unit 2 prior to fuel load and Unit 1 during the first refueling outage. In either case, it is GPC's intention to install AMSAC prior to July 1989. AMSAC is a system that provides an alternate means for tripping the turbine and initiating auxiliary feedwater flow as required by 10 CFR 50.62(c)(1). GPC will amend the FSAR by October 1987 with the necessary design information to permit a staff review of the VFDP specific implementation of AMSAC.
