.SA.FETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION GPU NUCLEAR CORPORATION AND JERSEY CENTRAL POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY OYSTER CREEK NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION GENERIC LETTER 83-28, ITEM 4.5.2 i REACTOR TRIP SYSTEM RELIABILITY - ON-LINE TESTING ,

1

1.0 INTRODUCTION

AND SU;4 MARY Generic Letter 83-28 was issued by NRC on July 8, 1983, indicating actions to be taken by applicants and licensees based on the generic implications of the Salem ATVS events. Item 4.5 states a staff position which requires on-line j functional testing of the reactor trip system, including independent testing I of the diverse trip feature; of the reactor trip breakers, for all plants.

Item 4.5.2 requires applicants and licensees with plants not currently designed to pemit this periodic on-line testing to justify not making modifications to permit such testing. By letters dated November 14, 1983, June 12, 1985, and May 15, 1989, the licensee, GPU Nuclear Corporation, (GPUN) responded to the staff position regarding Item 4.5.2 of Generic Letter 83-28.

Our review of these responses finds them to be acceptable.

2.0 EVALUATION In GPUN's first submittal dated November 14, 1983, the licensee stated that with the exception of the backup scram valves the Oyster Creek Reactor Trip System was designed to permit on-line testing of the reactor trip system.

Justification of the adequacy of current functional testing of the scram pilot .

valves and the backup scram valves would be provided. In their June 12, 1985 submittal the licensee stated that the analysis contained in GE Topical Report NEDC-30844 and subsequent plant specific analysis supported their i

conclusion that current functional testing intervals for the scram pilot valves and the backup scram valves was adequate. In their May 15, 1989 submittal they committed to test the backup scram valves at refueling l outages.

3.0 CONCLUSION

The staff concludes that this response is acceptable since the licensee's response meets the staff position.
