Dear Mr. Fay:
SUBJECT:
SAFETY EVALUATION FOR GENERIC LETTER 83-28, ITEM 4.5.3, REACTOR VRIP RELIABILITY -- ON-LINE FUNCTIONAL TESTING OF THE REACTOR TRIP SYSTEM (TAC NOS. 54013 and 54014)
Generic Letter 83-28, Item 4.5.3, required confirmation from all licensees and applicants that on-line functional testing of the reactor trip system, including independent testing of the diverse trip feature, was being performed.
By letters dated November 7,1983 and April 11, 1986, you submitted responses to aeneric Letter 83-28, Item 4.5.3.
Therein you indicated your endorsement of the Westinghouse Owners Group Report WCAP-10271, as being applicable to Point pr.ch Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2.
The NRC staff, with the assistance of our contractor, Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, has reviewed your responses and the Westinghouse Owners Group report. We conclude that the existing intervals for on-line functional testing at Point Beach Nuclear Plant are sonsistent with achieving high reactor trip system availability.
The enclosed safety evaluation with the attached contractor's report (EGG-NTA 8341) provides the details and basis for our conclusion. Therefore, we consider Generic Letter 83-28, Item 4.5.3 to be complete.
This completes all staff activities related to TAC Nos. 54013 and 54014.
S ir.cerely,
/s/
