AsInspection
ReportNo.50-244/89-17
(p.7)indicates,
RG&EreceivednoticeonOctober20,1989,fromWestinghouse
ElectricCorporation
(Westinghouse)
ofanapparentgenericdesigndeficiency
relatedtothetypeofsafetyinjection
(SI)block/unblock
switchusedatvariousWestinghouse
reactors.
TheWestinghouse
letter,datedOctober12,1989,concluded
thata"singlefailureoftheswitch(Westinghouse
OT2)couldblockeithertheautomatic

pressureSIsignalinbothtrains"[emphasis
supplied].
Theletteralsostatedthattheprobability
ofswitchfailurewas"10'10'/yr":andthat,whileadesignchangewasrecommended,
thesituation
was"notanimmediate
safetyconcern."
Inaddition,
theWestinghouse
letterreferredtoaLicenseeEventReport(LER),No.88-007-00,
submitted
byWisconsin,
ElectricPowerCompany(Wisconsin
Electric)
onSeptember
16,1988,concerning
thesameissueatthePointBeachNuclearPlant(PointBeach).TheWisconsin
ElectricLERconcluded
that"thiscondition
willnothaveasignificant
impactonthehealthandsafetyofthegeneralpublicortheemployees
ofthePointBeachNuclearPlant."
'
TheLERnotedthatthePointBeachfacilitywasoperating
at100%capacitywhentheconcernwasidentified
andthatdesignchangewouldnot'emadeuntilthenextscheduled
outage.UponreceiptoftheWestinghouse
notification
onOctober20,1989,RG&E(corporate)
initiated
atimelyreviewforapplicability
toGinnaStation.BasedontheWisconsin
ElectricLERandonWestinghouse's
calculation
ofthelowprobability
ofswitchfailure,itwasapparentthatthematterdidnotconstitute
animmediate
safetyconcern.Whenitwasidentified
thattheswitchconfiguration
wasapplicable
toGinnaStation,aninternalengineering
recommendation
wasmadeconsistent
withtheguidanceoftheWestinghouse
letterandattachedLER,thatanEWRbeinitiated.
Thiswascompleted
onNovember17,1989.Thisrecommendation
wasthenevaluated
withinNuclearSafetyandLicensing,
resulting
inadiscussion
withsitetechnical
supportpersonnel
relativetothissituation
onDecember19,1989.OnDecember20,sitepersonnel
initiated
aGinnaStationEventReportperProcedure
A-25.1(EventNo.89-168).Theeventreportindicated
thatthesitePlantOperations
ReviewCommittee
(PORC)had,onDecember20,1989,concluded
thatplantoperation
couldcontinueforthefollowing
reasons:1.Westinghouse
statedthatthe.probability

Theviolation
statesthatthetimebetweenOctober20,1989,whenRG&E(corporate)
wasnotifiedbyWestinghouse,
andthecommunication
ofthisinformation
tothesitetechnical
staffonDecember19,1989,showsthattheSIdesigndeficiency
wasnotpromptlyidentified
andcorrected,
andindicates
problemsincommunication
betweencorporate

andsitepersonnel.
WhileRG&Edoesnotdenythisviolation,
webelievethattheactionstakenbyRG&Ewereappropriate
inviewofRG&E'spreliminary
conclusion
thattheissuedidnotconstitute
animmediate
safetyconcern.
RG&EbelievesthatAppendixB,Criterion
XVIdoesnotestablish
aprecisetimelimitforresolution
ofsafetyissues.Rather,issuessuchas"promptness"
or"timeliness"
aresubjective
mattersthatinherently
dependuponthesafetysignificance
ofthesituation.
GiventhatRGGEhadadocumented
recommendation
fromWestinghouse
thatnoimmediate
safetyconcernexisted(ascorroborated
bythePointBeachLER),itsactionstowardresolution
oftheissuewerepromptandtimely.Anyotherinterpretations
ofCriterion
XVIwouldbecountertopublichealthandsafetybecauseitwouldrequirelicensees
totreatalldeficiencies
ornon-conforming
itemsthesame(i.e.,regardless
ofsafetysignificance).
Thissamebasicphilosophy
wasaffirmedinananalogous
context'inrecentguidanceissuedbyNRC'sOfficeofNuclearReactorRegulation
'(NRR).Specifically,
onJuly19,1989,Dr.T.E.Murley,Director,
NRC/NRR,sentamemorandum
toalloftheregionaladministrators
entitled"Guidance
onActionToBeTakenFollowing
Discovery
ofPotentially

Inhismemorandum,
Dr.Murleystatedthat"[t]hereisnogenerally

timeframe
inwhichoperability
determinations
shouldbemade."Forequipment
whichis"clearlyinoperable,"
animmediate
declaration
ofinoperability
shouldbemadeandtheappropriate
technical

However,Dr.Murley'smemorandum
contrasts
thissituation
withthosewhereequipment
