Subject:

McGuire Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2 Docket Nos. 50-369 and -370 Proposed Technical Specification Amendments Diesel Generator 18-Month Surveillance Mode Restrictions (T.S. 4.8.1.1.2.0)

Reference:

H.B. Tucker to NRC letter dated February 10, 1989, same subject h

Gentlemen:

The above referenced letter submitted a Technical Specification amendment request to modify certain 18-month diesel generator surveillance requirements. The request was to allow for certain surveillance requirements currently required to be done during an outage, P.o be performed during power operation. Our basis for this request was that this would allow for greater scheduling flexibility with no impact on the safe operation of the unit.

On August 15 and 20, 1991, conference calls were held between representatives of Duke Power Company and the NRC to discuss the subject amendment request. The NRC expressed a number of concerns regarding the propo,-ed amendment request. The proposed changes and our basis for those changes, as well as some other concerns that we have with diesel generator testing were also discussed. These conversations have been very beneficial ir our understanding of the staff's concerns with our proposed Technical Specification amendment request and in the testing of diesel generators, in general.
