Vogtle Electric Generating Plant-Units 1 and 2; 50-424, 50-425; Safety Grade Core Exit Thermocouples Letter GN-654 dated July 2, 1985 Attention: Mr. J. Nelson Grace In previous correspondence on the above referenced subject, Georgia Power Company indicated the NRC would be informed of corrective actions-taken to resolve this concern.

The following corrective action has a

been taken:

'The temperature input required for temperature compensation of the Westinghouse RVLIS system was changed from core exit thermocouples to RCS wide range RTD's.

Train A of the RVLIS system was modified such that wide range hot leg RTD TE-443A is utilized as the temperature compensation input.

A dedicated wide range hot leg RTD was installed in loop 3 for use as the Train B temperature compensation input.

This modification was described in detail in the Plant Vogtle submittal on NUREG-0737r Item -II.F.2,^ " Instrumentation for Detection of Inadequate Core Cooling."

For additional information, please refer to Appendix 4A of the FSAR.

Georgia Power Company has also modified the core exit thermocouple E0P setpoints to reflect the plant specific core exit thermocouple monitoring system increased inaccuracy during post-accident operation.

With the implementation of the above corrective actions, the issue of increased core exit thermocouple monitoring system post-accident induced errors is resolved on Plant Vogtle.
