TRANSMITTAL OF PLANT ATTRIBUTE LIBRARIES (PALs)

FOR SALEM NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION UNIT NOS. 1AND2, AND HOPE CREEK GENERATING STATION FACILITY OPERATING LICENSES DPR-70, DPR-75 AND NPF-57 DOCKET NOS. 50-272, 50-311 AND 50- 354 In accordance with 10CFR50 Appendix E, VI "Emergency Response Data System", 3.b., this letter transmits revised Plant Attribute Libraries (PALs) for Salem and Hope Creek Generating Stations. The revision to the PALs is required to support changes being made in the operating systems for the Emergency Response Data System (EROS) computers. Specifically the Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS), which is a feeder computer to EROS, is being modified to make SPDS Y2K compliant.

  • Attachments 1 and 2 are the revised PALs for Hope Creek and Salem respectively. Changes are identified by revision bars.

Should you have any questions, please contact Jack D. Southers, Senior Engineer, at (856) 339-5630.

Sincerely Gabor Salamon Manager Licensing

- -- -II. - Selection of Data Feeders A. How many data feeders are there (six 'maximum)?

There will be one data feeder. The Hope Creek ERDS Computer will transmit data received from Hope Creek Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS) Computer.

B. Identify the selected data feeders and provide the following for each.

( 1) a short description of the categories of data points it will provide (e.g. met. Rad. or plant -

data points. By unit) and (2) the rationale for selecting it if another system can also can also provide its categories of data points The Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS) is the ERDS data feeder:

(1) The SPDS will provide existing Hope Creek plant data points, as defined ni the Data Point Library (PPL).

(2)(a) ERDS parameters are readily available on SPDS, since the SPDS is used to aid control room personnel in determining the safety status of the plant during emergency conditions.

(b) Choosing SPDS as the feeder for Hope Creek and Salem aids in maintaining consistency in design and maintenance.

C. Which data feeder is the site time determining feeder? This should be the feeder which is providing the majority of the data points.

SPDS is the only data feeder.

-1 HOPE CREEK III. DATA FEEDER INFORMATION Note: A new Section IV must be filled out for each feeder system selected.

General Questions

1. Identification of data Feeder
