REQUEST 032.4 l,
f Regarding the trip relays, it is stated that contacts froa these-relays provide the necessary logic function for the process variable input. Verify whether or not relay coil to contact isolation is relied upon at this interface point l
such that the output of trip relays of one input channel can be sent to other logic divisions. If so, provide the justification for using these devices as " qualified" isolation devices.
RESPONSE
The trip relay provides input into only one division, so it is not considered an interdivision isolation device. The statement that " contacts from these relays provide the necessary. logic function for the process variable input" is interpreted as follows:
Some system inputs require a contact to transfer from open to.
close to provide a trip input. to the logic, while other systems inputs require the opposite configuration (i.e., close to open contact transfer).
The trip relays used have four form C contacts, so the relay will provide any contact logic function that the system requires.

The logic expression for component availability is given as S (Section 3.4.1).
Is this expression correct for plants with the input channels having solid-state 2/4 logic? Provide this information for this group of plants.
RESPONSE C
- However, The expression S = ( A1 + A2).(B1 + B2) is not correct for 2/4 logic.
2/4 is more reliable than (1/2) X 2, so the availability analysis of NEDO-21617 need only be concerned with the least reliable of the two logic expressions.
This is consistent with the philosophy of addressing only " worst case" conditions.

In order to provide the effective use of the topical report in the licensing reviews of plants referencing the topical report, GE should provide a section j
which lists the areas (interfees) which must be addressed by-each individual opplicant. As part of this section, the following information, as a minimum, should be indicated in the report as required to be provided by each referencing applicant:
Add The infor9sation of Table 5-1 for the specific plant as implemented.
(a) information regarding the vendor and model of the transmitter utilized and the divisions involved.
The contents of each trip unit cabinet assembly and the associated location (b) of the component parts.
l (c) The specific location of each component and a comparison to the data on environmental and seismic qualification presented in the topical. report..

In Table 5.1 a suggested list of sensors was recommended for retrofit applica-The list may be made shorter or longer tions for the' phase B and C plants.
f based on the customers' experience of the performance of each instrument' type.
The priority of retrofit to the analog system for each sensor should be based on the following considerations:

'(3) Is the sensor in a high radiation area?
Is it cot.ginnient to change out the sensor because it is adjacent to a (4) sensor that will be changed out for the new hardware?
Available space in the card file and trip unit cabinet.
(5)
Is the installation cost for the sensor worth the benefit that would be (6) obtained from using the new hardware?
l 1
The bases for changing out sensors in the Phase A plants are:

following table shows associated reference documents for each component which are auditable from company or vendor files. However, because of the sizable volume of information and the. fact that we desire to maintain 'some control of GE purchased test data, we prefer not to publish this.information in The purchase part drawing is the base document which describes NEDO-21617 all design requirements for the hardware, defines part numbers and references all associated specifications, etc. The general specifications for all essential-class 1E equipment are documents 225A6634 and 225A6635 However, the transmitter and trip units have additional unique requirements defined by their own individual purchase specifications.
i Scme of the reports are quite lengthy. For example, we requested qualification summary report 3768A from Rosemount for microfilming in lieu of the formal test report (#127531), which is in excess of 800 pages.
