WASHINGTON PUBLIC POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM P.O. Box 968 ~ 3000 George Washington Way ~ Richland, Washington 99352 February 20, 1990 G02-90-029 Docket No. 50-397 Hr. J. B. Hartin Regional Administrator U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region V 1450 Maria Lane, Suite 210 Walnut Creek, CA 94596

Subject:

NUCLEAR PLANT NO. 2, OPERATING LICENSE NPF-21 WNP-2 E(UIPHENT SETPOINT METHODOLOGY PROGRAM PLAN

Reference:

1) Letter, G02-89-186, GC Sorensen (SS) to JB Martin (NRC), same subject, dated 10/19/89

2) Letter, G02-89-134, GC Sorensen (SS) to JB Hartin (NRC), same subject, dated 8/2/89 In Reference 1) the Supply, System separated the harsh environment accuracy effects out of the overall Equipment Setpoint Methodology Program Plan, and established a more aggressive date for completion. One of the results of this redirection of efforts is to reallocate key personnel from their work on the overall program, thereby resulting in a negative impact on the original schedule submitted in Reference 2),

The harsh environment schedule was based on the Supply System awarding a contract for Technical Support Services and then having qualified people readily available to perform this work. The Support Services contract was signed January 12, 1990.

The Supply System has aggressively pursued the selection of qualified contractor personnel and has identified a complete design team. The design team will be on site to begin training. by the first week in March. However, because of the start delay we are forced to re-evaluate both the schedule for harsh environment accuracy effects as well as the overall program schedule. We will provide a new schedule within 30 days of this letter. We expect however that the new schedule provided will not indicate more than a 60 day slip over that provided in the Reference 1 letter.

Page Two WNP-2 E(}UIPHENT SETPOINT HETHODOLOGY PROGRAH PLAN One potential benefit from this delay is to allow more time to evaluate the latest draft changes to the ISA-RP67.04 document as they may become available.

As the methodology is still evolving, the utility industry is still finding areas that can be improved upon. This delay may help that effort.
