MEMORANDUM TO: Leonard J. Reidinger, Branch Chief Technical Training Support Branch Technical Training Division h"O Office for Analysis and Evaluation of Operational Data FROM: Thomas L. King, Acting Chief /s/

Control, Instrumentation, and Human Factors Branch Division of Systems Technology Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research

SUBJECT:

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION The Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research is conducting an in-house research project with regards to digital Instrumentation and Controls (l&C) in nuclear power plants. For accuracy and completeness of our results, it is necessary to obtain l&C and plant system information on current nuclear power plants. We feel copies of certain documents from the Trojan simulator would greatly help our research efforts.

Attached is a TTD Resources Use Requests (TRR), which has been completed as outlined in the December 9,1996 memo, " Procedure for use of Technical Training Center Facilities / Technical Training Division Resources." If there are any questions, please contact Terry Jackson at (301) 415-6486. Mr. Jackson will be at the TTC during March 23 - April 3,

' 1998 for the day-shift Westinghouse simulator course.

TRR So.

Detailed Description of Proposed Resource Use:

(i) The transient data points will be used to analyze the frequency spectral content of plant variables in transient scenarios.

(2), (3), and (4) Copies of the PLS, Technical Specifications, and P& ids will provide information regarding the gain settings, time constants, and required response times of typical I&C systems. They will also provide familiarity with various types of I&C systems within a typical PWR nuclear power plant. Such information is necessary for accomplishing tasks, and assessing the impact of  ;

research results. (5) Same as purpose //1.

Copies of the following files / documents are requested:

(1) Microsoft Excel files for the Trojan Simulator transients as supplied to the Westinghouse full series course, (2) Precautions, Limitations, and Setpoints(PLS) document for the Trojan Simulator, (3) Technical Specifications for the Trojan Simulator, (4) P& ids for the Trojan Simulator, as supplied for reference to the Westinghouse full series course, (5) A BWR transient in which the Oscillating Power Range Monitor (OPRM) is required to actuate in response to a power oscillation in the core. If possible, provide details on the method and operation of the OPRM to detect the power oscillation. Should be a Microsoft Excel file also.
