As part of its on-going review of the Three Mile Island Unit 2 accidant, the staff finds that it needs additional information regarding the auxiliary feedwater systems (AFWS).

This information as outlined below, is rcuired to evaluate AFWS reliability for Combustion Engineering (CE) and Westinghouse (W) designed pressurized water reactors. The requested information is in addition to that requested in the IE Bulletins, and should be brought to the meeting scheduled with the staff on May 8 thru May 12, 1979.

Written system description (as built) including:

List of Support Systems for Auxiliary Feed System Operation (Both Electric and Steam)

Water Supplies for AFWS (primary and backup)

Current operating procedures and test and maintenance requirements including:

All LCO's for AF14S, main FW system and related support systems.

Listing of operator actions (local and/or control room) and timing require ments for such actions.

Procedures for reinitiating main feedwater flow.

As Built P&IDs with symbol keys including condensate and steam side Ledgible Equipment layouts drawings including:

Isometrics, if available Identification of inhibits preventing accessibility to AFWS components and related electrical equipment Relevant control systems description including:

Schematic or logic control diagrams Listing of actuation signals/logic and control MSIS logic for isolating AFWS, if installed electric power dependences All "readouts" available in control room for AFWS operation AC & DC Power One line diagrams (normal and emergency power supplies)

Divisional designation e.g., Train A, Train B, requirements on all AFWS components and support systems List of normal valve states and loss-of-actuation power failure position Operating Experience, including Number of main feedwater interruptions per year experienced to date for each unit Number of demands on AFWS per year to date (test and actual) for. each unit Summary of AFWS malfunctions, problems, failures Provide Available reliability analyses Steam Generator dry-out times (assuming loss of all feedwater flow, with 100%

initial power, with Reactor trip, no line breaks)

System design bases including:

Seismic and environmental qualification Code and Quality, QA

Provide written res onses to the following set of questions by 5/8/79 Describe backup systems available (to auxiliary feedwater) for providing feedwater to steam generators. Discuss actions and time required to make these systems available. Are procedures available? If so, provide.

Provide the following procedures:

loss of offsite power loss of feedwater LOCA (small and large)

Steam Line Break Provide following information for PORV's:

Number capacity setpoints (open and close) manufacturer and model indications of position record of periods isolated (isolation valve shut) challenges during life of plant (from plant records) including performance of valve, cause of challenge.

experience of two-phase or subcooled discharge of PORVs and'safety valves with description of valve performance Provide indications of PORV isolation valve in the control room.

Provide the following information on ECCS:

initiation setpoints system description pump performance characteristics (head curves)

Provide reactor protection system trip setpoints.

Provide information on charging pumps, how they relate to ECCS including:

number flow vs. pressure power sources and backup water sources seismic qualification List all challenges (and cause) to ECCS as indicated on plant records.

List and discuss all instances during which your plant has undergone natural circulation.

Describe all automatic and manual features which canstop the reactor coolant pumps.
