- INTROPUCTION The COLSS/CPC Oversight Conmittee, consisting of Arizona Nuclear Power Project, Arkansas Power and Light Company, Louisiana Power and Light Company and Southern California Edison, with Combustion Engineering as its technical consultant, was formed to address common analysis and software issues related to the Combustion Engineering digital monitoring and protection systems -' the Core Operating Limit Supervisory System (COLSS)

. and the Core Protection Calculator System (CPCS). The Committee will attempt to provide a standardized approach to resolution of problems and implementation of improvements to the digital monitoring and protection systems, an information mechanism for sharing operating experience and a feedback mechanism for the software designer.

The'COLSS/CPC Oversight Committee will meet with the NRC on April 18, 1985 '

to present a detailed description of the CPC Improvement Program, a program of CPC Modifications and Methodology Improvements scheduled to be implemented in 1986 and 1987. An initial presentation of concepts was provided on November 8, 1984. The schedule for implementation of the program was presented to the NRC on March 8, 1985. The April 18 meeting will provide a detailed presentation of the portions of the program scheduled for implementation in early 1986. This document provides the NRC with copies of the slides to be presented at this meeting.

The objective of the presentation is to provide a detailed description of the CPC Improvement Program in order to initiate the NRC review process, to solicit feedback from the NRC to guide in program development and to assist the NRC'in meeting the implementation schedule. A schedule for presentations, documentation and implementation will be presented at the meeting.

The CPC Improvement Program consists of three major areas:

- Part A - Optimization of CPC/CEAC Software for Reloads

- Part B - CEAC Sesensitization to Spurious Signals

- Part C - Reload Data Riock Constants This presentation will cover details of Parts A and B, scheduled to be implemented in early 1986. Part C, scheduled to be implemented initially in late 1986, will be presented in August 19R5.

The program to be described in this presentation will apply in whole or part to Arkansas Nuclear One Unit 2 (ANO-2); Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (PVNGS) Units 1, 2'and 3; San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) Units 2 and 3; and Waterford Unit 3.

! This report is being presented on the SONGS Unit 2 docket since it is l scheduled as the lead plant for implementation of the CPC Improvement j Program.
