Very truly yours, George H. Gellrich Plant Manager, TMI-1 Attachment cc: Administrator, Region I TMI- 1 Senior Project Manager TMI Senior Resident Inspector File 02053
I. Experiments and Tests A Safety Evaluation or 50.59 evaluation was prepared for each of the experiments and tests conducted at TMI- 1 as identified below.
Document: - Temporary Procedure TP-00-0053,TP-00-0055, TP-00-0057, TP-00-0059, and TP-00-0061 - "Operation with NR and SR Cross-Tied for NR Line Repair" The evaluation (SE-000531-016) reviewed a temporary one-time change from the shutdown requirements of Technical Specification 3.3.2, while repair of the underground Nuclear Services River Water system piping was completed. The evaluation concluded that the change required NRC approval prior to implementation.
Document: Special Temporary Procedure STP 1-00-0006 - "Pump CO-T 2 Water to the Condenser via Co-V-107" This evaluation reviewed a temporary change to the routing of water from CO T-2 (Miscellaneous Drains Collection Tank) to the condenser. The evaluation concludes that the change did not create an unreviewed safety question because it did not increase the probability of occurrence or the consequences of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety previously evaluated in the UFSAR, did not create the possibility of an accident or malfunction of a different type than any previously evaluated in the USFAR and did not reduce the margin of safety as defined in the bases for any Technical Specification.
Specifically, the evaluation concluded the change did not pose an unreviewed safety question because (1) controls were in place to insure the temperature of water supplied to the emergency feedwater pumps did not exceed 135 degrees F and (2) the condensate storage tank inventory would not be compromised, consistent with the USFAR.
Document: SE-000213-014, "CFT Heater Removal/RB Outage Power Installation" This evaluation reviewed changes resulting in the removal of the Core Flood Tank shroud heating system and replacement of the system with local disconnects to provide [electrical] power. The evaluation concludes that the change did not create an unreviewed safety question because it did not increase 1
the probability of occurrence or the consequences of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety previously evaluated in the UFSAR, did not create the possibility of an accident or malfunction of a different type than any previously evaluated in the USFAR and did not reduce the margin of safety as defined in the bases for any Technical Specification. Specifically, the evaluation references a previous Safety Evaluation (SE-000-213-005) which justified Core Flood Tank operating temperatures not less than 70 degrees F and nitrogen injection nozzle temperatures not less than 40 degrees F. The evaluation cited that four years of operating experience has shown that these minimum temperatures can be maintained without the core flood tank shroud heating system. The evaluation also identified that the routing of power supplies would be done with consideration for separation of 1E and non-lE cable.

Document: SE-00020-003, "Change to UFSAR Chapter 6 Appendix 6B Section 2.0 This safety evaluation revised Section 2 of Appendix B of UFSAR Chapter 6 to make editorial changes, to change a reference and to add a paragraph to describe the evaluation of an Auxiliary Steam Line Crack. The evaluation concluded that the changes made do not represent an unreviewed safety question because an engineering evaluation that an Auxiliary Steam Line crack would not impact electrical equipment required for safe plant operation or safe plant shutdown.
Document: SE-000020-004, "Addition of NI-YE-11A and NI-YE-12A to Environmental Qualification Master List (EQML)"
This safety evaluation evaluated the addition of NI-YE- 11A and NI-YE-12A to the EQML.The evaluation concluded that adding these instruments to the EQML did not involve an unreviewed safety question because the instruments were purchased and are maintained in accordance with Environmental Qualifications. Therefore reliance on these instruments would not represent a reduction in the reliability of the wide-range neutron flux detectors.
Document: SE-000122-002, "QCL for Dike/Flood Control System" This safety evaluation addressed the revision of the existing quality control list to re-classify the Dike/Flood Control System from Nuclear Safety Related to Regulatory Required. The evaluation concluded the change would not involve an unreviewed safety question because the protection of plant systems, structures and components from damage in the event of the Probable Maximum Flood is not provided by the Dike/Flood Control System but by Flood Protection equipment on the Safety Related Buildings (Flood panels, etc.).
Therefore, downgrade of the QCL classification of the Dike/Flood Control System does not represent a downgrade of the components and structures that will provide flood protection to safety related systems and components.
Document: SE-000210-003, "Revision of UFSAR section 1.2.5" This safety evaluation addressed changes made to UFSAR section 1.2.5.d, 1.2.5.f and 1.2.5.h. The changes revised the description of the building spray function, revised the description of the function of the containment isolation system and deleted the description of the hydrogen purge system. The 19
evaluation concluded that the changes restored the intent of the original FSAR.
The changes to the descriptions of the building spray function and the containment isolation system function were editorial in nature. The deletion of the description of the hydrogen purge system revised the description in the UFSAR to reflect that the hydrogen recombiners are the emergency safeguards equipment relied upon to address post-accident hydrogen gas inside the Reactor Building. The change to section 1.2.5.h makes 1.2.5.h consistent with the existing description in section 5.6 of the UFSAR that the hydrogen purge system is a "backup" to the hydrogen recombiners. Therefore, the evaluation concluded the changes did not involve an unreviewed safety question because the changes did not increase the probability of occurrence or the consequences of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety previously evaluated in the UFSAR, did not create the possibility of an accident or malfunction of a different type than any evaluated previously in the UFSAR and did not reduce the margin of safety as defined in the bases for any Technical Specification.

Specifically, the changes made clarify the function of the MSIVs following a main steam line break, delete information provide for reference only and provide more clarity regarding the turbine bypass valves steam capacity. The evaluation concludes that the changes did not create an unreviewed safety question because they did not increase the probability of occurrence or the consequences of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety previously evaluated in the UFSAR, did not create the possibility of an accident or malfunction of a different type than any evaluated previously in the UFSAR and did not reduce the margin of safety as defined in the bases for any Technical Specification. The change evaluated do not change how a safety function is performed and are consistent with the existing Chapter 14 accident analysis.
Document: SE-000411-027, "PFU for Moving Break of 4 Min Steam Line Due to Aircraft Impact" This evaluation reviewed an editorial change to the UFSAR that moved information regarding the rupture of main steam lines as a result of an aircraft accident from Chapter 14 to Chapter 2 of the UFSAR. The evaluation concludes that the changes did not create an unreviewed safety question 25
because they did not increase the probability of occurrence or the consequences of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety previously evaluated in the UFSAR, did not create the possibility of an accident or malfunction of a different type than any evaluated previously in the UFSAR and did not reduce the margin of safety as defined in the bases for any Technical Specification. Specifically, the information moved was historical in nature and was included in the UFSAR in response to NRC questions during the initial licensing of the plant. The impact of an aircraft crash at TMI is discussed in Chapter 2 of the UFSAR. Therefore the relocation of the information was appropriate.
Document: SE-000411-029, "UFSAR Appendix 6B, Section 2.4.2.1" This evaluation addressed changes to Appendix 6B of the TMI-1 UFSAR that revises the discussion of a main steam line break accident regarding the environmental qualification of electrical equipment inside containment. The evaluation concludes that the changes did not create an unreviewed safety question because they did not increase the probability of occurrence or the consequences of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety previously evaluated in the UFSAR, did not create the possibility of an accident or malfunction of a different type than any evaluated previously in the UFSAR and did not reduce the margin of safety as defined in the bases for any Technical Specification. Specifically, the evaluation describes why a higher short-term (14 minute) temperature inside containment following a main steam line break (MSLB) inside containment does not invalidate earlier assumptions that electrical equipment environmentally qualified to function after a LOCA accident will also function after a MSLB inside containment event.
Document: SE-000414-006, "Review FSAR Chapter 10.3.4.2" This evaluation reviews a change to the UFSAR that states that low pressure steam in the Auxiliary steam line in the Auxiliary Building is operated at a nominal 5 to 8 psi rather an absolute 5 psi.

The request is a Technical Specification Change and was identified as requiring NRC approval prior to implementation.
Document: SE-000534-0111, "PFU 2000-T1-174 to Table 7.3-2, #9" 29
This evaluation reviewed changes made to Table 7.3-2 to add flow transmitters for the Reactor River system to the table, to made editorial changes to improve clarity and correct errors and to provide consistency between item 9 and item
- 13. The evaluation concludes that the changes did not create an unreviewed safety question because they did not increase the probability of occurrence or the consequences of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety previously evaluated in the UFSAR, did not create the possibility of an accident or malfunction of a different type than any evaluated previously in the UFSAR and did not reduce the margin of safety as defined in the bases for any Technical Specification. Specifically the evaluation concluded that an unreviewed safety question was not posed by the changes because they were editorial in nature and did not change the status or control of plant structures, systems or components.
Document: SE-000537-003, "River Water Pump Lube System" This evaluation reviewed the removal of excessive detail from the UFSAR regarding river water pumps lube water system. The evaluation concludes that the changes did not create an unreviewed safety question because they did not increase the probability of occurrence or the consequences of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety previously evaluated in the UFSAR, did not create the possibility of an accident or malfunction of a different type than any evaluated previously in the UFSAR and did not reduce the margin of safety as defined in the bases for any Technical Specification.
Specifically, the evaluation sates that the removal of the excessive detail was consistent with the guidance given in NEI 98-03 because the lube water system is not necessary to support river water pump functions related to nuclear safety.
Document: SE-000542-008, "IC-V-3 and IC-V-4 Installed Condition" This evaluation reviewed the modification of IC-V-3 and IC-V-4, Containment Isolation Valves from a configuration in which they were air to open and spring to close to a configuration in that IC-V-3 and IC-V-4 are air to open and air to close. The evaluation concludes that the changes did not create an unreviewed safety question because they did not increase the probability of occurrence or the consequences of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety previously evaluated in the UFSAR, did not create the possibility of an accident or malfunction of a different type than any evaluated previously in the 30
UFSAR and did not reduce the margin of safety as defined in the bases for any Technical Specification. Specifically, the evaluation concluded that the modification does not increase the probability of the failure of IC-V-3 or IC-V 4 to close because the valves will continue to go close on the loss of instrument air because a 10 minute air accumulator and a fail safe accumulator that were added will close the valves automatically upon loss of instrument air. Thus, containment isolation via IC-V-3 and IC-V-4 will continue to be assured upon loss of instrument air.
Document: SE-000542-009, Intermediate Closed Cooling Water System Flow Change" This evaluation review changes to the method of operating the Intermediate Closed (IC) Coolers and Letdown (LC) Coolers. The changes are that the standard mode of operation was changed from a single IC cooler to operating both coolers on the shell side. In addition, letdown cooler operation was changed from operating one Letdown Cooler to operating both Letdown Coolers. The evaluation concludes that the changes did not create an unreviewed safety question because they did not increase the probability of occurrence or the consequences of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety previously evaluated in the UFSAR, did not create the possibility of an accident or malfunction of a different type than any evaluated previously in the UFSAR and did not reduce the margin of safety as defined in the bases for any Technical Specification. Specifically, both systems remain capable of supplying adequate cooling in normal operation. During analyzed accidents, the Intermediate Closed Coolers provide no emergency or safety function other than for the associated Containment Isolation valves IC-V-2, IC V-3, IC-V-4 and IC-V-6 to close (and the closing ability of the valves listed are unaffected). The ability of the letdown coolers to cool letdown flow to the Makeup and Purification system is unaffected by the change in operating method.
Document : SE-000542-010, 'Reflecting Design Flow Rate and Design Heat Removal Requirements as Nominal Parameters in FSAR Table 9.3-1 This evaluation addressed changes made to the UFSAR table 9.3-1 to clarify that information presented in table 9.31 reflects nominal parameters for the Intermediate Closed Cooling Water (ICCW) System operation. The evaluation concludes that the changes did not create an unreviewed safety question because they did not increase the probability of occurrence or the consequences 31
of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety previously evaluated in the UFSAR, did not create the possibility of an accident or malfunction of a different type than any evaluated previously in the UFSAR and did not reduce the margin of safety as defined in the bases for any Technical Specification. Specifically, the information revised simply reflects normal operational parameters and does not impact the credited safety function of ICCW valves IC-V-2, IC-V-3, IC-V-4 and IC-V-6 to close as containment isolation valves.

III. Modifications:
A Safety Evaluation or 50.59 evaluation was prepared in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.59 for each of the modifications listed below.
Document: SE-000153-011, "Reactor Building Minimum Required Pre stressing Forces" This safety evaluation determined that revising the minimum levels of containment pre-stressing tendon forces necessary to satisfy plant design criteria did not represent an unreviewed safety question because re-calculated containment pre-stressing tendon forces were determined utilizing the criteria of FSAR sections 5.2.1.2.3 and 5.2.3.2.5.a as acceptance criteria. The safety evaluation concluded that the change did not alter the ability of the Reactor Building to meet all required safety functions in the mitigation of the consequences of a design basis accident.
Document: SE-000153-017, "Incorporation of 2090P-2 and 2090P-4 as Substitutes for 2090P as Tendon Casing Filler Grease and Associated Revision of FSAR Section 5.2.2.3.7" This safety evaluation determined that substitution of Visconorust 2090P-2 and 2090P-4 tendon grease as substitutes for Viconorust 2090P did not represent an unreviewed safety question because the substitute casing filler grease performed as well or better than the original grease in preventing corrosion of the Reactor Building tendons. Therefore, the change to the substitute casing filler greases did not increase the probability of occurrence of a malfunction of equipment important to safety or create the possibility of a different type of malfunction than any previously evaluated. The tendons are not accident initiators, therefore the change did not increase either the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated. For the same reason, the change in grease did not increase the probability of an accident of a different type than any evaluated previously in the UFSAR. The tendon casing grease is not addressed in TMI- 1 Technical Specifications therefore the change did not require a change to Technical Specifications.
63
Document: SE-000156-003, "Evaluation for Continued Operations Intermediate Building to Fuel Handling Building Internal Flood Seal This safety evaluation determined that the discovery that a "watertight seal" had been removed from the intersection of the Fuel Handling Building wall and the Reactor Building exterior wall in the Upper Tendon Access Gallery of the Intermediate Building. The missing seal was a 1 / 8 th inch EPDM sealing strip.
Subsequent investigation found the seal had most likely been removed during the installation of a fire penetration seal.
