P/r*-De on a/n ,o-"atn .. Off'tial Ute /.I, Inspection Details -- Two (?? Three) Minor Issues Will be Documented (1) Commitment 27, ASME Section Xl, Subsection IWE, Item (2) Not Fully Implemented A strippable coating will be applied to the reactor cavity liner to prevent water intrusion into the gap between the drywell shield wall and-the drywell shell during periods when the reactor cavity is flooded.

o The strippable coating initially limited leakage into the cavity drain trough at < 1 gpm. On Nov 7, the leakage rate took a step change to 4 to 6 gpm. Water was subsequently identified in 4 sand bed bays.

This was also a previous commitment made in response to Generic Letter 87-05 V (b)(5)

I (2) Commitment 27, ASME Section XI, Subsection IWE, Item (3) Not Fully Implemented Sand bed region drains will be monitored daily during refueling outages.

9 Sand bed drains were remotely monitored by checking poly bottles, attached via tygon tubing to funnels hanging below the drain lines. The drain lines were not directly observed.

ANY QUESTIONS at this point Prle'-dec,~ional ý6fomn on -- OffjaI U~e O'f Page Pg 2o2 of 5

  • Drain line was found isolated during a boroscope examination to verify no *ineblockage.
