ML040700457 OFFICE PDIII-1/PM PDIII-1/LA PDIII-1/SC NAME DSpaulding THarris JStang for LRaghavan DATE 03/15/04 03/12/04 03/16/04 Point Beach 1 and 2 Submittal dated November 3, 2003 Generic Letter 96-06 TACs M96852 and M96853

1. The October 12, 2000, response to request for additional information (RAI) Item 6, indicates that: "Several plant modifications have been implemented (and more are in progress) to enhance the reliability of automatic isolation of nonessential service water loads during limiting accidents...." However, the July 30, 2002, response to this same item does not include any discussion of these modifications. Please provide a complete response to RAI Item 6 for both waterhammer and for two-phase flow, and indicate to what extent all planned modifications have been completed along with schedules for completing any remaining modifications (as applicable).
2. Because the Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff is relying on the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) methodology as a means to judge the acceptability of the waterhammer analysis that was performed for the Point Beach units, a risk assessment similar to the one that was performed by EPRI (EPRI letter dated February 1, 2002) is required. The EPRI letter is included in the EPRI reports, in an Appendix that contains EPRI correspondence.
