Subject:
Salem 2 LCO Based on a conversation with Carl Fricker, Salem VP as of 11:30 am:
The licensee completed a risk assessment to extend the missed surveillance LCO out to 7 days. While we still need to complete our confirmatory review of the risk assessment, the licensee has concluded that extending the LCO for a portion of the surveillance interval is acceptable, which obviates the need for an immediate shutdown.
In addition, the licensee has excavated the upper portion of the AFW piping the fuel handling building. Their visual inspection identified that the pipe coating is intact, and is visually in
'much better' (the licensee's words) condition than that found on Unit 1. The licensee will be performing UT inspections of this portion of the Unit 2 AFW piping (limited scope).
This provides additional assurance that similar problems (to those found on Unit 1) with this piping do not extend to Unit 2. The licensee will be putting together an operability.
determination for the Unit 2 AFW piping based on this latest information.
Tim O'Hara is closely following the licensee's activities, and has completed his own visual inspection of the Unit 2 piping. Our SRAs will review the licensee's risk assessment. The residents, with DRS support, will review the licensee's operability determination. We would also need to review any UT results.
