Dear Mr. Tucker:

ACRS (16)

Subject:

Supplemental Request for Additional Information Regarding E-MAX Isolation Devices for the McGuire SPDS The NRC staff is reviewing the McGuire Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS) based upon your SPDS Safety Analysis and Implementation Plan submitted March 9, 1984, and your supplemental letters of November 2, 1984, and February 8, 1985.

'We find that these subinittals do not address the E-MAX electrical isolators used on the radiation monitoring inputs to the SPDS. Therefore, the additional infonnation identified in the enclosure is needed for completion of our review of electrical isolation aspects of the SPDS.

Your. response to the enclosure is requested within 90 days of this letter. If y(ou 301)have questions regarding the enclosure, contact our project manager at 492-8408.

The reporting and/or recordkeeping requirements contained in this letter affect fewer than ten respondents; therefore, OMB clearance is not required under P.L.96-511.

Sincerely, DiUrl Oigd 3y Ehcr C. AJg:;u Elinor G. Adensam, Chief Licensing Branch No. 4 Division of Licensing

ENCLOSURE REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE-E-MAX j ISOLATION DEVICES FOR THE MCGUIRE SPDS t,

- The following additional information is needed.regarding the E-MAX isolators used on the radiation monitoring inputs to the SPDS:

a. 'For the E-MAX device used to accomplish electrical isolation, describe the specific testing performed to demonstrate that the device is accept-able for this application. This description should include elementary diagrams when necessary to indicate the test configuration and how the maximum credible faults were applied to the device.

b. Provide data to verify that the maximum credible faults applied during the test were the maximum voltage / current to which the device could be exposed, and define how the maximum voltage / current was determined.-

c. -Provide data to verify that the maximum credible fault was applied to the out

-return)put andofthat theother-devicefaults in thewere transverse mode(i.e.,

considered (between signal open and and short circuits).

d. Define the pass / fail acceptance criteria for this device.

e .' State whether or not the isolation devices comply with environmental qualification requirements (10 CFR 50.49) and with the seismic qualifi-cation requirements which were the basis for plant licensing.

~f. Provide a description of the measures taken'to protect the safety systems from electrical interference (i.e., Electrostatic Coupling, EMI, Common Mode and Crosstalk) that may be generated by the SPDS.
