Dear Sir:

As a result of our continuing dialogue with the NRC Staff, certain items have been identified which will affect the Seabrook Station Technical Specifications.

The first item, identified by the NRC Staff, requires that New Hampshire Yankee (NHY) implement a program which will insure the capability to monitor plant parameters and system operating status during and following an accident.

This program shall include those instruments classified as Category 2 and 3 instrumentation in Regulatory Guide 1.97, Revision 3, and shall provide the following:

(1)

Preventative maintenance and periodic surveillance of instrumentation.

(ii)

Operating procedures which define back-up instrumentation to be used if one or more monitoring instruments become inoperable.

(iii) Administrative procedures for returning inoperable instruments to OPERABLF, status as soon as possible.

The above program will be in place prior to Seabrook Station exceeding 5%

power and will be included in Section 6.0, Administrative Controls, of the Seabrook Station Technical Specification when the Full Power License is issued.

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission October 15, 1986 Attention: Mr. Thomas M. Novak Page 2 The second item involves an SER item that requires that protective devices for non-class IE circuits connected to class IE power sources be included in the Seabrook Station Technical Specifications. NHY has. identified approximately 110 such devices-that fall into this category. All of these devices have been satisf actorily tested in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. However, the response times for these particular devices were not recorded during the testing process.

Discussions with the Staff have.resulted in an agreement that a change will be required to Section 3/4.8 of the Seabrook Station Technical Specifications, that the list of devices will be added to Section 16.3 of the FSAR, and that, prior to Seabrook Station exceeding 5% power, each of the identified devices will be retested and the response times measured and recorded.

Should you have any questions regardit.g this matter, please contar.t Mr. Warren J. Hall at (603) 474-9574, extens ion 4046.

Very truly yours, J d Georg S. Thomas cc: Atomic Safety.and Licensing Board List i
