REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PROPOSED AMENDMENT ON CONTAINMENT SPRAY NOZZLE INSPECTIONS PALISADES PLANT By application dated March 1, 2002, the Nuclear Management Company, LLC (the licensee),
submitted a request to change Technical Specification (TS) 3.6.6.9 to allow performance of the surveillance requirement for the containment spray nozzle inspection following maintenance which could result in nozzle blockage rather than at the currently specified 10-year frequency.
Please provide the following additional information:
- 1. Experience at the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant (D. C. Cook), Unit 1, seems to indicate that boric acid plate-out with the potential to block flow through the containment spray headers and nozzles can occur following an inadvertent spray actuation (see Licensee Event Report (LER) 98-027-02).
(a) Has Palisades ever had an inadvertent actuation of containment spray?
(b) If yes, what type of inspection of the spray system piping and nozzles was done and what other steps were taken to ensure that no boric acid build-up occurred?
(c) If no, what type of inspection would be done following an inadvertent spray actuation?
Why is this method sufficient to detect blockage due to boric acid plate-out?
- 2. Experience at D. C. Cook, Units 1 and 2, seems to indicate that the typical test for blockage in the containment spray lines and nozzles may not be effective in detecting debris in the spray lines, at least the amount reported in LER 98-027-02.
Do the testing records for Palisades show any evidence that the TS-required containment spray flow blockage test may have a sensitivity to debris in the lines or nozzles which is too low (i.e., debris is present but not detected by this test)? For example, has construction debris or other debris been found in the containment spray system as a result of later inspections, tests, or repair work other than the containment spray system blockage test required by the TSs?
- 3. Describe any previous maintenance activities on the containment spray system that had the potential to introduce debris. What assurance is there that no such debris presently exists (including debris from construction)?
- 4. With respect to the foreign material exclusion (FME) controls at Palisades:
(a) Describe how the FME controls would prevent debris from remaining in the containment spray system piping, headers, and nozzles following maintenance, testing, or inspections which result in opening the system.
(b) Why are the FME controls sufficient, following any maintenance, testing, or inspection that results in opening the system, to ensure that nothing remains in the system sufficient to block the system and cause a decrease in spray flow?
ENCLOSURE
Why should a blockage test not be run to provide increased assurance that the containment spray system is still capable of performing its safety function after the system is opened?
- 5. Following maintenance on a component of the containment spray system, what specific criteria are used to determine whether a flow blockage test of the containment spray system is required? Who makes the decision? What level of management approves this decision?
