June 1, 2006MEMORANDUM TO: Richard J. Laufer, Chief Plant Licensing Branch A Division of Operating Reactor LicensingFROM:John A. Nakoski, Chief/RA/PWR Reactor Systems Branch Division of Safety Systems

SUBJECT:

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION RE: SHIFTING THEREACTOR TRIP ON TURBINE TRIP INTERLOCK FROM P-7 TO P-8 (TAC NOS. MD0496 AND MD0497)Plant Name:D.C. Cook Units 1 and 2Utility:Indiana & Michigan Power CompanyTAC No.:MD0496 and MD0497 Docket Nos.:50-315 and 50-316 Operating License Nos.:DPR-58 and DPR-74 Project Directorate:A Project Manager:Peter Tam Review Branch:DSS/SPWB Review Status:Not completeBy letter dated March 7, 2006, Indiana & Michigan Power Company (I&M), the licensee,proposed certain modifications to the reactor protection systems of the D.C. Cook units, and tothese plants' Technical Specifications, to shift the interlock of reactor trip on turbine trip from the P-7 permissive to the P-8 permissive. The proposed modifications would result in reactor trip, due to turbine trip, when the P-8 permissive is active (at 31% power and above). Currently, the reactor would trip when the turbine trips when the P-7 permissive is active (at 10% power and above). The staff, in order to complete its review of the licensee's proposal, requests the additionalinformation that is identified in the attachment.

They are accommodated with, at most, a reactor shutdown with the plant being capable of returning to operation after a corrective action. In addition, no ANS Condition II occurrence shall cause consequential loss of function of fuel cladding and reactor coolant system barriers." Show thatinadvertent actuation of the emergency core cooling system would not cause aconsequential loss of the reactor coolant system barrier (by filling the pressurizer;causing the pressurizer power-operated relief valves to open, to discharge water, and consequently, to fail to reseat properly). See RIS 2005-29 for more information.
