r' REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION RELATED TO GENERIC LEITER 97-04 DRESDEN. UNITS 2 AND 3

1.

Why is the net positive suction head required (NPSHR) for low pressure coolant injection (LPCI) short term listed in Table 1 of the GL 97-04 response greater than that used and approved in License Amendment Nos. 157 and 152 for Dresden, Units 2 and 3 (i.e.,

35.8 ft. versus 31.5 ft.)?

2.

The overpressure required and available as presented in response to Question 4 is not consistent with that reviewed and approved in License Amendment Nos. 157.and 152, especially for the short-term case. Explain this difference.

  • 3.

Calculations DRE97-0012 and DRE97-0010, Revision O were reviewed as part of License Amendment Nos. 157 and 152. Revision 1 of these calculations is listed as a reference in the GL 97-04 response. Explain the differences between Revision O and Revision 1.
