Dear Mr. Denton:

During the review of the VEGP Unit 1 Technical Specifications we have identified three items which represent conflicts between the SER and the Technical Specifications. These items have been discussed with your staff, and it is our understanding that they have been resolved. This letter will serve to document what we understand to be the resolution of these items.

The first item appears on page 3-30 of the SER under 3.7.4 " Seismic Instrumentation." The SER states that each of.the seismic instruments shall be demonstrated operable by the performance of the channel check, channel calibration, and analog channel operational test operations at the intervals specified in the Vogtle Technical Specifications.

During discussions with your staff agreement was reached that only the instrumentation required to meet Regulatory Guide 1.12 must appear in the Technical Specifications. We further responded that the remainder of the instrumentation will be maintained as required by plant procedures. The VEGP FSAR has been revised in Amendment 30 to explicitly state this.

Since the final draft of the Technical Specifications reflects the agreed upon list of seismic instrumentation, we understand this issue to be resolved.

'The next item appears on page 7-20 of the SER under 7.3.3.3 " Undetectable Failure in On-line Testing C1.rcuitry for Engineered Safeguards Relays." The SER states that until an acceptable circuit modification is installed, the staff will require plant Technical Specifications to include monthly (in lieu of quarterly) testing of slave relays.

In a letter dated August 27, 1986 (GN-1064) we documented that appropriate wiring modifications had been installed. This was discussed further during a meeting with the staff the week of October 20, 1986. The final draft of the Technical Specifications reflects quarterly testing of the slave relays so it is our understanding that this issue has been resolved.

Director of Nuclear Reactor Regulation File: X7N16 December 5,1986 Log:

GN-1214 Page 2 The next item appears on page 11-2 of Supplement 3 to the SER. This page carries a list of systems which were identified as having the potential for leakage of contaminated fluids outside the containment. By letter dated March 21,1986 (GN-842), we provided the list which appears on this page of the SER and, for the containment spray system, we included the qualifying words " excluding sodium hydroxide subsystem." However, the SER includes the words " including the sodium hydroxide subsystem." We considered this to be a typographical error and pointed it out to the staff at the October 20-24, 1986 meeting in Bethesda for discussion of the Technical Specifications. The listing which appears under Specification 6.7.4 of the final draf t of the Technical Specifications agrees with our list transmitted on March 21, 1986 and we consider this issue to be resolved.

If your staff requires any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,
