SUBJECT:
EDWIN I. HATCH NUCLEAR PLANT - RESPONSE TO INSPECTION REPORT
NOS. 05000321/2003006 AND 05000366/2003006
Dear Mr. Sumner:
In your letter dated October 1, 2003, in response to our Triennial Fire Protection Inspection
Report 05000321/2003006 and 05000366/2003006, you made several requests. One of those
requests was that the NRC withdraw Non-Cited Violation (NCV) 50-366/03-06-04, Unapproved
Manual Operator Actions for Post-Fire SSD. In our letter to you dated November 18, 2003, we
stated that we were still reviewing additional information that you had provided in response to
that NCV. We have now completed our review of your information related to that NCV and are
advising you of our decision. Details of our review are in the enclosure to this letter, titled
Evaluation of Licensee Information.
Based on our review of your additional information, we are withdrawing the examples of the
NCV related to a high pressure coolant injection (HPCI) pump runaway. Your information has
substantiated that the HPCI pump is not vulnerable to cable failures that could cause a runaway
condition due to fires in III.G.2 areas, where plant shutdown would be from the control room.
Your Safe Shutdown Analysis (SSA) and Fire Procedure differ from your additional information
with respect to HPCI vulnerability to a runaway condition due to fires; consequently, those
documents are not current with your latest information.
However, we have concluded that your information did not provide a valid basis for withdrawing
the example of the NCV related to the local manual operator action for repowering the battery
chargers. Also, as explained in the enclosure, you may need to perform additional reviews to
verify that this operator action can be performed (will not be affected by the fire) for fires in all
fire areas where the action may be needed.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter will be
available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the
Publically Available Records (PARS) component of the NRCs document system (ADAMS).
SNOPCO
ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the
Public Electronic Reading Room).
Should you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact me at (404) 562-4600.
Sincerely,
