Dear Mr. Fitzpatrick:

OGC

SUBJECT:

SAFETY EVALUATION FOR GENERIC LETTER 83-28, ITEM 4.5.2 FOR:THE OYSTERCREEKNUCLEARGENERATINGSTATION(TACNO.54008)

GPU Nuclear. Corporation (GPUN/ licensee) was required by Generic Letter 83-28 Item 4.5.2 to confirm that the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating-Station is.

, designed to permit periodic on-line. testing of the Reactor Trip System and, if not, to justify.not making modifications to permit such testing. In letters dated November 14, 1983 and June 12, 1985, you stated that the plant is

' designed to permit the required on-line testing of the Reactor Trip System.

You further stated that this testing will include independent verification of the operability of the shunt and undervoltage trip features.

Our review of this information as documented in our contractor's report, EGC.

NTA 7470, finds it partially acceptable for resolving this issue. The enclosed Safety Evaluation documents our concurrence with the contractor's findings and documents our review of additional information submitted by you on May 15, 1989 which satisfied the outstanding concern in our contractor's report. Therefore, we consider Item 4.5.2 of Generic Letter 83-28 to be resolved.

Sincerely,

/s/

Alexander W. Dromerick, Project Manager Project Directorate'I-4.
