INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-266/96303( O L k 50-301/96303(O L )

POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT. UNITS 1 AND 2

By letter dated January 23,1997, the NRC forwarded to Wisconsin Electric Power Company NRC

Inspection Reports Nos. 50-266/96303(OL); 50-301/96303(OL). Enclosed with the inspection reports

was a Notice of Violation related to a plant procedure that aligned the Vital DC Electrical System to a

configuration for which it was not designed. We issued a reply to the Notice of Violation in our letter

NPL 97-0050 dated February 24,1997.

In our reply, we committed to revise the abnormal operating procedure AOP-0.0 to ensure that a battery

charger does not power a DC bus without a battery connected to the bus. Based on the performance

limits of the PBNP battery chargers, the connection of a battery is necessary to buffer the DC output

su'fficiently to ensure the quality of DC power. These procedure changes were issued on April 11,1997.

We now believe that our procedures adequately implement the Technical Specifications and specifically

address the abnormal configuration described in the inspection report,

in our reply, we also committed to clarify the Bases of Technical Specification 15.3.7 to ensure that the

aforementioned battery charger performance limits are explicitly stated. We committed to complete this

change by May 1,1997. However, during the past month, we have assessed the priority of this task with

respect to newly identified issues that are more safety-significant, and have deferred the completion of

this task until June 30,1997. Based on the adequacy of the Technical Specification (15.3.7.B.i), and the

noted revisions to abnormal operating procedure AOP-0.0, we believe that the clarification may be so

deferred without any risk to the health and safety of the public.
