Requested Information

1.

Provide a summary of your reverification findings with regard to all associated circuit concerns.

With regard to common power sources, your response should address the elimination of hiqh impedance faults, i.e.,

opening of a common power supply (both safe and non-safe shutdown loaQs) circuit breaker prior to indiv.idual breakers of associated non-safe shutdown loads opening due to fire damage.

Additionally, your summary should include Interim Compensatory Measures (ICMs) and permanent fixes in this regard, as needed.

2.

Provide a summary of your reverification findings with regard tQ elimina-tion of the electrical isolation deficiencv as identifed in Referel"!ce ?.

Your sulTITiary should include ICMs and permanent fixes as needed.

3.

Provide the current status of your proposed modifications for overcoming the potential adverse consequences that result from a postulated fire coincident with loss of offsite power (see Pages 2-19, 2-21, 2-?? and 2-23 of f~closure II, Reference 1 for a description of the proposed compensating features in this regard).

Indicate whether your existing request (P.efprence 1), that a fire coincident with a loss of offsite power at the Dresden site not be assumed during the period August 1984 -

March 1985, shnu1d he revised to include the additional period until modifications are made to cope with a loss of offsite power.

If so, revise the request as ~pprnpriate.

)

4.

Correct apparent conflicts between Table 2.1-2 (Reference 1, Enclosure III) and Section 6.2.3 (Reference 1, page 6.2-2) for the entries listed for shutdown paths for Fire Zone 11.3 (Units 2 and 3 cribhouse). Also correct Table 2.1-2 as necessary Tor the shutdown path for Fire Zone 8.1 (turbine oil storage area).

  • 5.

For a fire in the Fire Zone 9.0.C (the swing diesel generator 2/3 room),

until the four proposed modifications are completed, (See Reference 1, Enclosure II, Table 2, Pages 2-20 and?.-?.!) i~dicate whether shutdown paths E and F for Units?. and 3 shutdown, respectively, are_available in the interim period. These have been listed as long term shutdown paths in Tables 2.1-2.

Indicate why it is necessary to utilize mechanical cross ties, procedures and Unit 3 equipment and power for achieving Unit 2 shutdnwn and vice versa for Unit 3 shutdown in the interim.
