• CONCERNING APRIL 10, 1990 IIT OUESTIONS The Licensing Board has requested that Georgia Power Company advise the Board of what was provided to the NRC Incident Investigation Team ("IIT") in response to the team leader, Mr. Al l Chaffee's request on April 10, 1990 for Calcon sensor data and questions concerning diesel start data. Tr. 3381-3383.

On April 10, 1990, NRC IIT members, NRC Region II's Mr. Ken j Brockman, and Georgia Power Plant Vogtle and corporate office I

personnel participated in a telephone conference which was transcribed by the NRC. San IIT Document # 212, attached to Mr.

Aufdenkampe's Profiled Testimony as Exhibit E (GPC Exh. II-31).

During that conference, IIT team leader, Mr. Al Chaffee, stated that the IIT wanted to receive Calcon sensor history data from .;

Georgia Power; that Mr. Kendall had begun a chart of such data which they asked Georgia Power to complete; and that they had not yet received the completed chart. Isb. at 3.

Georgia Power believes that the calcon sencor hietary chart requested by Mr. Chaffee was provided to the NRC on April 12, ,

1990. Mr. Kendall's April 3, 1995 Affidavit, a copy of which is attached, states at 11 13 and 14 that he believes the chart entitled " Failures of Calcon Temperature and Pressure Sensors at Vogtle Units 1 and 2," and attached as Exhibit J to his Affidavit, is the one that the IIT requested on April 10. Based on the facsimile cover sheet attached to the document, Georgia Power believes it was sent to Mr. Brockman on April 12, 1990.8 ,

During the April 10, 1990 telephone conference, the IIT also had questions concerning diesel starts and stops. IIT Document

Id at 6-7.8 Georgia Power is uncertain whether additional diesel starts information was provided to the IIT specifically in response to the April 10 questions. While Mr. Stokes recalls working with Mr. Kendall and providing him information on numerous occasions in March and April of 1990, he does not have a specific recollection concerning discussions with Mr. Kendall about the diesel starts and stops data. Georgia Power is aware, however, of the following indicators that the IIT received additional information:

1 1 MR. WARD: Okay. '

s 2 MR. KENDALL: I still think what would be good is >

3 for Ken Stokes to give me a call; because I can tell his the 4 starts that I have and then he can from that, or I don't 5 know if Ken is the right person, but whoever, and then from i

6 that point we can work on. f 7 MR. CHAFFEE The next thing we need is, for the  !

8 diesel, is the alars and trip setpoints for each of the 9 alaras and trips for the diesel generator. And we have 10 gotten some of that information in the form of some of the ,

i 11 drawings. But in looking at that, we have found that there

.l 12 is some conflicting information between some of the training l

13 documents and some of the drawings and some other 14 documentation. i 15 So what we have concluded is that we need to get I 16 from you guys what your position is in terms of what the i

17 setpoints are for the alarms and trip setpoints so we know 18 what is supposed to be the right answer so that as we look 19 at other documents, if they conflict, we can identify those 20 conflicts, I guess more for just making sure we have the 21 right answers, but also I'm sure you would be interested in 22 them. So we need those. And as I understand it, we have 23 asked for that. I guess we asked for it last week.

24 MR. AUFDENKAMPE: A1, this is John Aufdenkampe.

25 With respect to document requests, we are working very hard 92 PROKCT 082167 I
