SAFETY EVALUATION REPORT GENERIC LETTER 83-28, ITEM 2.1 (PART 1) EQUIPMENT CLASSIFICATION (RTS COMPONENTS) i HOPE CREEK NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION I DOCKET NO. 50-354 INTRODUCTION AND SUPNARY On February 25,1983, both of the scram circuit breakers at Unit 1 of the Salem l Nuclear Power Plant failed to open upon an automatic reactor trip signal from l the reactor protection system. The incident was terminated manually by the. operator about 30 seconds after the initiation of the automatic trip signal. The failure of the circuit breakers was determined to be related to the sticking of the undervoltage trip attachment. Prior to this incident, on February 22 - 1983, at Unit 1 of the Salem Nuclear Power Plant, an automatic trip signal was In generated based on steam generator low-low level during plant start-up. this case, the reactor was tripped manually by the operator almost coin-cidentally with the automatic trip. I i Following these incidents, on February 28, 1983, the NRC Executive Director for Operations (EDO), directed the staff to investigate and report on the generic l implications of these occurrences at Unit 1 of the Salem Nuclear Power Plant. The results of the staff's inquiry into the generic implications of the Salem I unit incidents are reported in NUREG-1000. " Generic Implications of the ATWS Events at the Salem Huclear Power Plant." As a result of this investigation, the Comission (NRC) requested (by Generic Letter 83-28 dated July 8,1983I) all licensees of operating reactors, applicants for an operating license, and holders of construction permits to respond to generic issues raised by the l analyses of these two ATWS events. 8712070113 871201 PDR FOIA SDR GI B7-644 PDR,
4 l i This report is an evaluation of the response submitted by Public Service Electric and Gas Company, the applicant for the Hope Creek Nuclear Gbner- J ating Station, for Item 2.1 (Part 1) of Generic Letter 83-28. The actual fl doctinents reviewed as part of this evaluation are listed in the references ] at the end of the report. ) l Item 2.1 (Part 1) requires the applicant to confinn that all Reactor Trip f System components are identified, classified and treated as safety-related [ l as indicated in the following statement: ) i Licensees and applicants shall confirm that all components whose functioning is required to trip the reactor are identified as- I saiety-related on documents, procedures, and information handling systems used in the plant to control safety-related activities, in-cluding maintenance, work orders, and parts replacement. I i i EVALUATION _ The applicant for The Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Station, responded to the 2 requirements of Item 2.1 (Part 1) with submittals dated March 30, 1984 , 4 December 17, 1984 and May 21, 1985 . In these submittals the applicant des-cribed their plan to develop a Master Equipment List (MEL) that will meet these , requirements, reviewed progress made, and in the last submittal stated that all components that are required to perform the reactor trip function were reviewed i The to verify that these components are classified as safety-related equipment. applicant further stated that while the MEL had not been completed for all components of the reactor trip systes, this effort would be completed by September 30, 1985.

The discussion on Standby Liquid Control System'(St4S) modifications was covered in two pazts, two-pump operation and enriched boron.' For both approaches, the NRC concurred that changes to the SI4 system made . to meet the MWS rule most not invalidate the original design bases. For the_ two-punp. operation, the following Tech Spec changes should be considered: -{
- 1) Revise SIC punp discharge relief valve setpoint pressure if required.
- 2. '
Revise co. centration requirements if necessary 'to account for minimum two-punp, flow rate. Further, it.was decided that current periodic testing requirements. are' adequate to assure system capability. . However, the 10C does want.to see evidence as a part of the MWS documentation submittal to demonstrate the adequacy of two-punp operation (e.g. two-punp performance test). For the enriched boron option, .it was decided 'that1 current Volume, temperature, ocncentration, and flow rate Tech 8pec surveillance' re-quiruments should be retained. For senitoring of . the . 210 enrichment lowl, two" separate approaches 'were discussed, depending upon whether the enriched sodium pentaborate was formulated at the chemical vendor's facility, or at the BWR plant site. For 'either approach, interim procedures should be' developed to assure that the presently mixed non-enriched sodium pentaborate is properly disposed of. For plants utilising sodium pentaborate formulated l at. the chemical vendor, an enrichment test should be done as c part of the inecning veterial evaluation (administrative pah). '! hen, at the beginning. of each cycle, the enrichment of the boron material 'in the SI4 tank should be analyzed to assure proper shutdown capability. ( _ . _ - . - - - - "

SUMMARY
On February 25, 1983, both of the scram circuit breakers at unit 1 of. the Salem Nuchar Power Plant failed to open upon an automatic reactor trip
~
signal from the reactor protection system. This inci6ent was terminated manually by the operator about 30 seconds after the' initiation of the automatic trip signal. The failure of the circuit breakers'was determined to be related to the sticking of the undervoltage trip-attachment. Prior to this incident, on February 22.1983,: an automatic trip signal was generated at Unit 1 of the Salem Nuclear Power Plant based on steam In this case, the reactor generator low-low level during plant startup.- was tripped manually by the operator almost coincidentally with the . , automatic trip. , Following these incidents, on February 28,1983. ' the NRC Executive Director for Operations (E00), directed the staff to investigate and report on the generic impitcations of the occurrences at Unit 1 of .the $41em Nuclear Power Plant. The results of the staf f's . inquiry into the generic
]
implications of the Salen Unit 1 incidents are reported in NWEb1000
" Generic Implications of the ATWS Events at the Sales Nuclear Power plant. " As a result of this investigation, the Commission (BRC) requested (by Generic Letter 83-28, dated July. 8,1983 ) all licensees 'of operating reactors, applicants for an operating license, and holders of construction permits to respond to generic issues raised by the analyses of these two ATWS events.
This report is an evaluation of the responses submitted from a. selected' group of Boiling idater Reactors (BWRs) for' Item 2.1 (Part 1) of Generic Letter 83-28. The results of the review of four individual plant responses are
' combined and reported on in this document to enhance review efficiency.
The specific plants reviewed in this report were selected based on the-1
I convenience of review. The actual' documents which were reviewed for each' j evaluation are listed at the end of each plant evaluation. . The generic- ] documents referenced in this report are listed at the.end of the report. Part 1 of Item 2.1'of Generic Letter 83-28 requires the licensee or ') applicant to confirm that all reactor trip system components are Identified, classified, and treated as safety-related, as indicat'ed in the following statement: 1 Licensees and applicants shall confirm that all components whose functioning is required to trip the. reactor are identified as safety-related on documents, procedures, and information handling-systems used in-the plant to control safety-related activities,. ~ including maintenance, work orders, and parts replacement. l l i 1

- 2. ' PLANT RESPONSE EVALUATIONS 2.1 Hope Creek 50-354 (0L)
The applicant for Hope Creek (Public Service Electric and-Gas
- Company) provided responses to the requirements of Item 2.1'(Part 1) of Generic Letter 83-28 in submittals dated March 30,1984, 8ecember 17. 1984 ,
and May 21, 1985. In the first submittal the applicant sescribed their ) plan to develop a Master Equipment List (MEL) which would identify.the . components required to initiate reactor trip and designate these components- . as safety-related. The MEL imposes quality. assurance requirements for the saf6ty-related components and is the controlling document for ., j safety-related activities. The applicant stated intentisms- to be in . compliance with Item 2.1 (Part 1) prior to September 1984. The second submittal reviewed progress to December 17, 1984 and j outlined a revised program which would meet ' the requirements of Item 2.1 (Part 1) prior to March 1985.. The applicant confirmed is their May 21, I 1985 submittal that review of the reactor trip system had been completed and that reactor trip system components were verified to be classified safety-related on appropriate design documents, however, the MEL had not been completed for all components of the reactor trip system. The applicant stated that this effort would be completed by September 30,.1985. 2.2 Conclusion Based on a review of the applicant's submittals, we find that' the applicant's responses confirm that' components required to trip the reactor have been designated safety-related and that the MEL is used to control all j activities relating to safety-related components. We, theref ore, find that . l the applicant's responses meet the requirements of Iten 2.1 (Part 1) of .! Generic Letter 83-28, and are acceptable. 3

1 2.3 Peach Bottom 2 50-277 TAC NO. 52865 Peach Bottom 3 50-278 TAC NO. 52866 The licensee for Peach Bottom 2 and 3 (Philadelphia Electric Co.). provided responses to the requirements of Item 2.1 (Part 1) of. Generic Letter 83-28 in submittals dated November 4,1983, April 23,1984 and May 29,1985. The responses state that all systems that contribute to the. reactor trip f unction have been identified as saf ety-related in the current' "Q" list and that all components of safety-related systems are safety-related unless specifically excluded by safety evaluation. The 'Q" list is used to , I identify the applicable codes, standards and procedures' to be used for . activities relating to the safety-related components. 1 Each ites or service to be procured is r'eviewed to determine if it is safety-related. The review is performed by a congnirant member of the plan staf f or the Engineering and .Research Department. 2.4 Conclusion Item 2.1 (Part 1) requires licensees to confirm that all components whose functioning is required to trip the reactor are identified as safety-related on documents, procedures, and information handling systems used in the plant to control safety-related activities, including maintenance, work orders, and paris replacement. Based on the licensee's submittal we find that the list of components required to trip the reactor is incomplete. We also find that the licensee's program does not identify safety-related components on relevant plant documents. The response, therefore, does not meet the requirements of Item 2.1 (Part 1) of Generic Letter 83-28 and is unacceptable.

We intend to select one of the ATWS options in the near future and to pursue it. to adoption. However, it is important .to note that all of the options- under serious consideration by the NP,C staff (options #2, 3, and 4 in' Volume' 3 of. NUREG 0460) regarding resolution' of the ATWS issue for BWRs require installation of an RPT. While you have committed to install a RPT on your facility, Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station,-you 'have not yetL begun to take steps toward such installation, on the grounds that you were awaiting firmer requirements by NRC. The NRC staff now has a firm position that RPT is required for your facility. Therefore, we see no bases for any further delay in implementing an RPT for your - facility. The RPT designs discussed in this letter are compatible with ATWS requirements. To expedite your installation of an approved RPT,'the-staff .is j providing a modified description (Appendix A, attached) of design i requirements which provide some additional- flexibility over those previously provided (May,1978), but which the staff has found acceptable for RPT systems to be installed in the: near future. - i j For all operating plants, the Monticello RPT design described in NEDO j 25016 and summarized in Appendix B has been accepted by the staff as meeting the Appendix A criteria. ' Sections of NEDO 25016'.related to ) ARI should be ignored as that system is not addressed by this letter. Some operating plants have already installed the "BWR/4" or " Hatch" C RPT, and the staff also accepts that design as meeting the Appendix A ' J criteria provided the changes specified in Appendix B, or equivalent changes, are incorporated. a

,g .. .t Mr. J. E. Howard Both the Monticello design and the modified "BWR/4"~ or " Hatch" design a utilize generator field breakers which have been modified so that they .
are providef with two trip coils. One coil for. each breaker is actuated only by reactor pressure and ~ water level sensors in'RPT division A, and ~ the other coil 'is actuated by pressure and level sensors in RPT division B,- thereby providing redundancy of power supplies available to the overall system and increasing trip reliability. Either the Monticello or modified "BWR/4" or " Hatch" design, would be an acceptable RPT design provided diverse final trip relays' of .a different type are used,- or obtained from a different manufacturer than the primary scram relays used in the RPS.
~!
The staff has not reviewed the specific design of the time delay circuitry recently proposed for the.Monticello RPT design for low-level initiated , pump trips. We agree that time delays on the order'of 10. seconds ~ are desirable to avoid making the consequences of a postulated 1.0CA more severe, an:f we agree that.such delays of around 10 seconds have insigniff-( cant effect on ATWS consequences (for low-level initiated ATWS . pump trips l only). Therefore, we find incorporation of such circuitry on either RPT design discussed above to be acceptable, provided: l 1. The time delay is realized only for low-level initiated pump trips; I and, 1
- 2. The circuitry is incorporated in such a way that it does not signifi-cantly affect the overall reliability of the RPT; that is,- that no single failure in the timing circuit (s) can cause failure of the pump trip to occur. This could be accomplished, for example, by use of a-separate, independent timing (delay) circuit with each low-level I
sensor, or equivalent. Implementation as soon as possible of an RPT in accordance with the attached design criteria will provide an increased level of safety over the lifetime of the plant and should be installed as promptly as is reasonable. 1 ! 1
~ '
y Mr. J. E. Howard - The staff has given careful consideration to the concern expressed by some licensees that RPT design requirements may change in the- future.. We have concluded that the design criteria outlined in this letter (Appendix A) are, for operating plants, equivalent to those enclose"f with the May,1978 letters to all BWR licensees, and we intend to effect no changes to those criteria. in the future. We believe that RPT design, procurement, and installation can be accomplished within a two year period-without requiring additional outage time beyond refueling outages. We have given consideration to steps that can be taken at present, in order to reduce the risk from ATWS events during the interim period, before recirculation pump trip circuitry and any other necessary plant modifications are completed. We have detennined that many of- the following steps are practicable and appropriate for your facility for this interim period. We therefore, request that you inform us within 90 days that you have done the following:
- 1. Developed emergency procedures to enable operators to recognize an ATWS event, including consideration of scram indicators, rod position indicators, flux monitors, vessel level and pressure indicators, relief valve and isolation valve indicators, and containment temperature, pressure, and radiation indicators.
- 2. Train operators to take actions in the event of an ATWS including consideration of manually tripping the recirculation pumps and scramming the reactor by using the manual scram buttons, changing individual rod scram switches to the scram position,- stripping the feeder breakers on the reactor protection system power distribution buses, opening the scram discharge volume drain valve, prompt actuation of the standby liquid control system, and prompt placement of the RHR in the pool cooling mode.to L reduce the severity of the containment conditions.
Early operator action as described above would provide significant. protection from those ATWS events which occur at low power levels where the rise in the vessel pressure and the containment temperature is limited to acceptable values by manual recirculation pump trip'and actuation of the existing stanaby liquid control system. If the i operator were to promptly (in a few seconds) trip the recirculation pumps to assure that the short term rise in vessel ~ pressure is not - excessive, protection will also be provided for those ATWS events where the common mode failure occurs in either the electrical portion of the scram system or in some portions of the drive system. i
---_m__m__m_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
? Mr. J. E. Howard Within 90 days inform us of your schedule for implementation of your commitment to install an RPT system for your plant. Such system should conform to the acceptable systems described in this letter and your schedule should be consistent with the staff's overall objective of
~
assuring that an acceptable RPT system is installed at your facility within two years. Sincerely, W Harold R. Denton, Director Office of Nuclear' Reactor Regulation

1 i APPECIX'A CRITERIA FOR HIGH PRESSURE-LOW LEVEL INITIATED . d RECIRCULATION PUMP TRIP (RPT) TO BE INSTALLED IN OPERATING BWRs BEFORE NOVEMBER 1, 1979* A. General Functional Requirement The RPT system shalizautomatically initiate the appropriate action whenever the c'onditions monitored by the system reach a ' preset level. B. Independence and Integrity The RPT system and components shall be independent and separate from components and/or systems that initiate anticipated transient (s) being analyzed and diverse from the normal scram system to minimize the probability 'of disabling the operation of the mitigating system. Diversity.can be achieved by incorporating as many of- the following methods as is practicable:
- 1. Use o' RPT final trip relays from different manufacturers (required).
(~
- 2. Use of energized versus de-energized trip status..
- 3. Use of AC versus DC power sources.
It shall be demonstrated that the function of the RPT system and components will not be disabled as a consequence of events being.- analyzed. Diversity of the RPT pressure and level sensing devices '(including . relays used in such sensing devices) from similar'or identical- devices used on the RPS is not required, since failure of those devices.on both i the RPT.and the RPS is not likely to cause an ATWS due to the' presence l of other diverse trips on the RPS (high flux,. valve position, etc.).
*The HRC staff has reviewed the Mo'nticello RPT design and- thel" Hatch" RPT i design, and finds that they' meet these criteria (provided the changes; specified in the cover letter are made to the'" Hatch" design). Plant' specific reviews will be conducted only-as necessary to ascertain that the plant design is the same 'as, or equivalent to, one of the' approved :
designs.
.l '. l; 2
C. Equipment Qualification The RPT system equipment and components shall be tested to verify that the system will provide, on a continuing basis, its' functional . capability under conditions relevant to postulated ATWS events, in ' cluding extremes of conditions (as applicable) relating to environ-ment, which are expected to occur in the lifetime of a plant. D. Periodic Surveillance and Preventative Maintenance Testing and Calibration-1 Periodic surveillance and preventative maintenance tests and calibra-tion requirements shall be identified to provide continuing assurance that the RPT system, including sensors 'and actuated equipment, . is' capable of functioning as' designed and that system accuracy and per formance have not deteriorated with time and usage. These requirements
- shall be particularly directed toward the. detection of those failures or degradation of accuracy and perfomance which would.not. otherwise -
be likely to be detected during the course of nomal operations. Integrated system testing shall also be perfomed to verify overall system performance. ( E. Quality Assurance A quality assurance program in conformance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B shall be applied to the RPT system design and equipment. F. Administrative Controls Administrative controls shall be established to control the access to all set point adjustments, calibration and test points. i G. Information Readout The RPT system shall be designed to provide the operator with accurate, complete and timely information regarding its status. For those -1 functions, including operations, test or maintenance, and calibration,. which require direct operator interaction, human engineering factors such as information displays (e.g., display formats, layout and con-trols) and functional controls (e.g... methods, location and identifi-cation) shall be included in the design. h

k D i Following additional investigations by the Staff and by the ACRS, the S af f issued Volume 3 of NUREG-0460, in December 1978. I Although final determination of all the design changes to nuclear pcmer plants which may be necessary to respdnd to ATWS events has not yet been
.i reached, the Staff has concluded that the addition of a Recirculation Pump Trip !
(PPT) in boiling water reactors (BWRs) would significantly limit the immediate consequences of an ATWS event. Therefore, letters da'.ed January 9,1979 were sent to the BWR licensees who did not have installed RPTs. These letters:
- described the reasons for requiring an RPT at this time, - described two alternative ways to p* ovide an acceptable RPT, and
( - requested that licensees provide an RPT implementation schedule which would provide for installation within two years. III. Ee:ause ar P.PT provides considerable additional assur:.nce that a BWR can safely respond to an ATWS event, I have determined that installation of an RPT by DP licensees should be completed as soon as practicable and in no event J J later P.an December 31, 1980. In response to the letter of January 9,1979, and acditional discussions with the Staff, the licensee . committed, by letter dated April 10, 1979, to installation of an RPT before reactor operation during calendar year 1981. I have determined that this cocinitment should be ; for,melized by Order requiring that RPT installation be completed no later iner Decenber 31, 1980.

SAFETY EVALUATION PILGRIM UNIT 1 PROPOSED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR-
' ATWS RPT/ARI Introduction Boston Edison Company (BEC), .by letter dated Apr11l 7,1980,: submit'ted proposed Technical Specification changes-in response to the January 8,1979,. ~
NRC letter on anticipated transients without scram (ATWS). The BECo. submittal addressed the staff requirements in volume 3 of NUREG 0460 for a recirculation pump trip system as a means of substantially reducing maximum reactor vessel pressure in thi unlikely event of a failure to scram. In addition the licensee proposed an alternate rod insertion system to provide a deverse means for initiation of control rod insertion. This safety evaluation report addresses the proposed Technical Specifi- ! cation changes and the differences between the Pilgrim Unit.~1 RPT/ARIL and the staff accepted Monticello RPT/ARIL design'. ' A safety evaluation for.the ATWS Recirculation Pump Trip and. Alternate. Rod Insertion systems ATWS RPT/ARI was submitted on the; docket for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plan (Docket No. 263, License No. DPR-22). This evaluation was reviewed by the NRC staff and a. favorable Safety Evaluation Report was issued on February 23, 1977 for the.RPT: function. Since the RPT/ARI systems proposed for the. Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station are essentially identica1' to that described-in'the.- . Monticello evaluation only the minor differences. unique = to the technicalc j' specifications will be considered. l Proposed Technical Specification Changes l Page 44a Add a new LCO as follows: .j "G. Recirculation Pump Trip / Alternate Rod Insertion Initiation i Whenever the reactor is in the RUN mode, the limiting ; conditions for operation for the instrumentation listed in Table 3.2.G shall be met." Add a new Surveillance Requirement as follows: 1 j "G. Recirculation Pump Trip / Alternate Rod: Insertion i Surveillance for instrumentation which initiates Recirculation Pump Trip and Alternate Rod. Insertion shall be as specified in Table 4.2-G." ; 1 l l l l f & o* Q h),,, $

c R l
2- l l I Page 59a - Insert a new page as shown in Exhibit BI This page includes Table 3.2.G and notes pertaining to the table. Page 66a - Insert an additional item in table 4.2.G as shown in Exhibit - B which provides RPT/ARI instrumentation surveillance require-ments. Page 67 - Modify notes to include Table 4.2.G. ! Page 73 - Insert the paragraphs shown in Exhibit B which state the bases i for the recirculation pump trip and alternate rod insertion systems and the limiting conditions for operation. Addition- f ally, three references are added. Page 77 - Insert the paragraph shown in Exhibit B_ which states the bases for the surveillance frequency of the recirculation pump trip and alternate rod insertion instrumentation. The proposed limiting condition for operation requires the recirculation pump trip system to be operable when the reactor is in the RUN mode and i the alternate rod insertion system to be operable in all modes except i REFUELING. Since the capacity of the safety / relief valves is far in l excess of the steam generation rate achievable in any other mode, there j is no potential for vessel overpressurization in modes other than RUN. ( Restricting the LC0 to the RUN mode for the RPT function is therefore { appropriate. The proposed operability requirements are similar to those of like systems. These requirements were assumed in the design and reliability analysis of the trip system. The proposed surveillance requirements incorporate the fact that analog transmitters are used in ATWS RPT/ARI . systems. These devices are a new, improved line of BWR instrumentation. The calibration frequency is therefore proposed to be once per operating cycle which is consistent with both the equipment capabilities and the requirements for similar equipment used by other reactor vendors. The calibration frequency for the trip units is proposed to be quarterly, the same as other similar protective instrumentation. Likewise, the test frequency is specified as monthly like that of other protective instrumentation. A sensor check is proposed once per day; this is considered'to be an appropriate frequency, commensurate with the design applications and the fact that the recirculation pump trip / alternate rod insertion systems are backups to existing protective instrumentation. SEEREF.(A)
Differences Between Pilgrim and Monticello RPT/ARI The Monticello RPT design includes a' " Manual Initiation" push button on - the operator control console. The proposed RPT/ARI design removes this - push button but does provide manual control of the ARI function from the operator control console. Manual initiation.of RPT at the console is unnecessarily redundant due to the variety of means already available to the operator for manually tripping the recirculation pumps or otherwise reducing recirculation flow. The addition of.the ARI function results in additional crowding of. the - operator _ control console. In order to reduce this crowding the manual reset push buttons have been eliminated and automatic reset logic sub-stituted. Although the Monticello RPT ' design included a seal-in logic . l with manual reset it is unnecessarily redundant. Once a trip signal. actuates the field breakers, it can be removed without affecting the state / of the field breakees. The field breakers must be manually reset. Therefore, the automatic reset feature only reduces the manual actions required to reset the pumps for operation and does not affect the trip function. The ARI automatic reset logic includes' a seal-in logic for a 30 second interval to assure sufficient time to blow down the pilot air header and insure complete rod insertion. The automatic reset cannot , function, however, if the trip signal is still- present. . In this case an additional 30 seconds of delay will occur before reset and this* sequence will continue until the trip signal is. removed. I l The high pressure setpoint for ATWS. RPT/ARI (1160 psig) as proposed. is ) higher than the specification for the Monticello .RPT (1150 psig). ' The ' licensee's analysis indicates.that the raised setpoint will result in a - 25 ps1 increase in the peak pressure during an ATWS event. .The peak pressure would still be more than 150 psi below the ATds criteria of 1500 psig. The results of this analysis appear-reasonable based on comparisons 1 with the calculations for the Monticello plant (NEDO 25016). . J With the current plant configuration, initiation of the ATWS RPT function is predicted during certain pressurization transients if the ATWS RPT 1 setpoint is not raised from 1150 psig' to the proposed value of 1160.psig, 1 Since the initiation of ATWS RPT causes an increase in severity of the
~
transients this is an undesirable condition. Raising the setpoint decouples the more frequent pressurization transients from ATWS RPT effects. With the proposed setpoint, the only events which will initiate ATWS RPT are the turbine / generator trip with bypass failure and the ASME overpressure protection event (MSIV closure with trip scram failure). The turbine / generator trip events will not result in exceeding the vessel . 1 pressure limit despite the increased severity due to ATWS RPT fnitiation and the limiting event will remain the MSIY closure with trip scram failure..
The design of each ATWS cabinet includes 'two qualified 24 VDC. power supplies. One power supply is sourced by offsite 115 VAC which. transfers to onsite generator power in the event of loss of.offsite power. . The second power supply is sourced by the station batteries (125 VDC) throughL an inverter (125 VDC to 115 VAC). The uninterruptible power supplied by the inverter allows .the system logic to remain ' energized during the event of loss of offsite power until the transfer to onsite generators occurs. The present systems.will require manual action to initiate a pump trip and ARI during a loss of offsite power event. The presently installed' ATWS RPT/ARI systems include one non-qualified power supply per ATWS cabinet sourced by offsite 115 VAC. The qualified DC power supplies and DC to AC inverter- specified for the ATWS RPT/ARI systems are onsite1 and will be installed as the final system during the first seven-day outage after April 1,1981 and not later than October 1981. Conclusions Based on our review of the licensee's proposed Technical Specification changes, we conclude that they are in conformance with the requirements of volume 3 of NUREG-0460. The differences between the Pilgrim and Monticello RPT/ARI systems are also acceptable. However, we recommend that the licensee be required to install the qualified DC power supplies and DC to AC inverter specified for the' ATWS RPT/ARI systems. .The present systems require manual action to initial a recirculation pump trip and ARI during a loss of offsite power event. The present system is acceptable as an interim measure,only until the next scheduled refueling (October 1981). a l l l i

STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS ON OPERATOR ACTIONS'FOR-REACTOR TRIP ANDJATWS (OCTOBER 1983) Operators have responsibilities and take some actions for all freactor trips... In the-case of a~ failure of the automatic trip system, operator action.is the : only backup to initiate roc:frisertion to shut down.the reactor. Operator action to immediately back up all automatic trips with,a manual: trip based-solely' on receipt of " positive ' indication" 'of ar. " automatic trip demand" without evaluating the automatic; trip system's success is believed-by the;NRC: staff to be conservative and,'therefo're,J the preferred method. (This; operator action is not currently required by :the NRC. Al though not: as < conservative..- another method is to have operators manuallyitrip the reactorLwhen the' successful completion of an automatic: trip cannot"be .both immediately and a ' positively confirmed. With' either method, .if. successful completioniof j reactor trip cannot be immediately and.' positively confirmed after. manual trip. " of the reactor, appropriate backup measures must be' prescribed as part' of the; ATWS emergency instructions. ,, 3 Facility procedures should identHv'the instruments that provide the' .
^ " positive indication" of an " automatic ' trip demand." ;In -addition. .~if the choice is made to verify failure of the reactor trip system' prior.cto -
inserting a manual trip, the:; procedures should'identifyf the instruments' that provide the "insnediate and positive confirmation" of the success'of the, automatic' reactor trip. The instruments. selected must _ provide timely.
. indications with adequate reliability' to . minimize the number of' unnecessary manual' scrams and yet assure the operator is' alerted to a5 system failure when-operator action is necessary.

l J /' Fln ^33-28. the wake 'of the 'Salme Evest*, NRC issued NUREG 1000 and -Genettit.4etter$G Among thei requirements 2ef. Generic Letter 83-28 was -Item 212,Which 9 instructed licensees to develop and asintain contact with vendors of; safety' related equipment. . Such contact would entail a " feedback" system to ensure ,,: receipt of information, and' en internal . review system to dispositten-the. ' inferination such that appropriate changes to practices and procedures would be' . ; made. in a timely manner. '
'l . Beston Edison (BEto) believed that a generic approach by' the various nuclear . ] . utilities, as suggested by the NRC in Generic Letter 83-29, would be the mest i ef fective way to address this ites; therefore, SECo actively: participated',in - l ' the Nuclear Utility Task Action Committee ;(NUTAC) on. Ites 2.2.2 which has -
formulated a Vendor Equipment Technical Information Program (VE11P) .- BLCe J herein submits a description of the VE11P as Attachment A to this ^ 1etter, and:. endorses, in conjunction with internal progress- described in. Attachments 8 and ' R C. all' but Section 3.2 as BEco's progras for addressing Item 2.2.2. At this time we cannot endorse Section 3.2 because; the ' enhancements
- talked of in i this .section have not been developed to a point where we can ef fectively- i assess their impact on safety or resources. - Naturally. BECo will review these-items as they become more defined and implement those .' assessed 1o4 be-beneficia'.
BLCo endorses the VEllP because. as various alternatives were explored, it became apparent workable program.that. only- a centralized approach would provide an ef f ective, Further. this progree serves to enhance both the interf ace between other vendors. utilities and the N555 vendor. and the *as-needec* interf ace with

Generic Letter 83-28 was developed following investigations by the NRC on the Salem events. As a result of these investigations, the hRC determined that better control and utilization of information regarding safety-related compo-nents might have helped to prevent these events. The NUTAC identified a program to better ensure that plant personnel have timely access to such information. The NUTAC ef forts were guided by the recognition that individual utilities have the greatest experience with and are most cognizant of the application of safety-related equipment. Vendor involvement witn such equipment is generally greatest during construction and initial operation of the plant. Vendors are not familiar with the surveillance or maintenance histories, nor with the . application of the equipment or its environment. Tht 5 type of information is nost readily available at the plant level within indi vidual utilities. _ Based on this recognition, the NUTAC investigated the mechanisms rently available to facilitate information exchange among utilities.

To support the benefits that can be obtainea from hpRDS usage, utilities submit three kinds of information to-the NpRDS data base: engineering / test information, failure reports, and operating history. The engineering / test record on a component contains information necessary to identify the component and its application, such as manufacturer, model number, operating environment, site, horsepower, and test frequencies. The , information is submitted when the coroonent is placed in ,f service and is stored in the data base. .lf that component ] e f ails to perforw as intended, a report is submitted containing l 1 a description of the f ailure mode anc- cause, the f ailure's- i effect on plant operations, corrective actions taken,- and other 9

When a significant event or tread ass been identified from the screening process, a Significe-:- 'q Event Report (SER) is prepared by INPO and transriitted te tae utilities and other participants on NUCLEAR NETWORK.

.Jhk Utility Centact (SEE-IN)
In addition to the formal 'and reference' information sources, another vital information source is direct contact with power > plant technical personnel on an ad hoc basis. Each utility designates a SEE-!N contact to respond to questions.from INPD on plant events. The majority of such communications was - l handled over the telephone or via NUCt. EAR NErdO4(. Files are i maintained by INPO on nuclear utilities and centain names and 1 telephone numbers of designated contacts,; telecopier numbers, status of nuclear units (ije., operating, under construction i or planned), and NS$$ vendor (s). 3.1.3 Interaction With vendors . 4 In the interest of operating the plant safely ar4 ef ficiently, the utility-vendor contact is essential. To accomplish this goal, utilities already interact with various vendors. !
. . i l The contractual obligations for furnishing eg.ipment a~ d n sof tware (manuals, drawings. etc.) are fslfilled upon accep-tance at the plant site. Interaction between utilities. and ~
vendors, due to deficiencies, may be brought about by. the 4 e n 14 re

If the systems that comprise. the' YETIP were functional
' ': ')
in the early 1970s, this oversight probably would not- have occurred or would have been rectified. Westinghouse had prepared the techni-cal bulletin based on a precursor event that occurred at another nuclear unit. This type of precursor avent would have required that an LER be written and submitted to the: NRC; INPO also 'would have-reviewed the Westinghouse technical' buitetin and the LER.- The cur-rent criteria for significance screent 9 used by 1%PO personnel. j identify this type event as a significe9t single failure. It is--
\
I highly likely that ar .,r.R would have been generated by . !NPO and. disseminated to utilities via NUCLEAR hETWORK. Utilities. wouid have reviewed the SER through their operating experience report review . proyrsas.
'I .
m l In addition, utilities would have had an ongoing program with their - NSSS vendors to obtain ET!. Utilities .would have had. systems..in place:to track and process this information. . Therefore, there are two pathways that would have ensured this type of information was received and evaluated by,the utility:
