ENCLOSURE
' l AGENDA FOR AUDIT OF THE GRAND GULF NUCLEAR STATION (GGNS) DETAILED 2
CONTROL ROOM DESIGN REVIEW AND SAFETY PARAMETER DISPLAY SYSTEM b.\\
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff and its consultants Lawrence Livermore (LLNL) plan an audit of the licensee's* Detailed Control National Laboratory (DCRDR) and Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS) efforts Room Design Review for Grand Gulf Nuclear Station. The audit team will evaluate the organization, process, and results of MP&L's DCRDR and SPDS efforts. The audit is planned for March 2-7, 1987 at GGNS. SERI should make the following preparations:
1.
Review team personnel (including contractors) knowledgeable in each of the DCRDR and SPDS tasks should be available to discuss the review process and to respond to staff questions during the audit.
2.
Up-to-date documentation of the organization, process, and results of the DCRDR and SPDS efforts should be available.
3.
Conference or office space should be available for the.NRC staff's meeting with SERI and for the staff and its consultants to meet privately.
4.
Access to the control room, simulator, and remote shutdown facilities
[
should be provided as necessary.
5.
Clearance to bring camera equipment on site and to take photographs in the control room and other areas that would assist in evaluating the DCRDR and SPDS efforts should be provided.

A tentative audit agendt is enclosed.

- Prior to December 20, 1986, the licensee was Mississippi Power & Light Company (MP&L). On December 20, 1986, Amendment 27 to the Operating License was issued, transferring control of licensed activities from MP&L to System p~
Energy Resources, Inc. (SERI). Consequently there may be historical references t
to MP&L in this audit.

6 Short tour of the Control Room.
Run through of plant-specific scenarios that involve monitoring of shutdown / start-up reactivity i;
confirmation of containment isolation, monitoring of reactor building radiation levels and hydrogen L
and oxygen concentration, and trends and monitoring of gaseous releases. The run through should be performed by a plant operator who is familiar with SPDS operation and should make use of plant emergency operating procedures. The run through will be most effective if it is performed using the control room simulator. However, use of any SPDS display that can be driven by simulated plant transient data is acceptable.
