Dear Mr. Woody:
SUBJECT:
INSERVICE TESTING OF CERTAIN SAFETY-RELATED PUMPS, ST.
LUCIE PLANT, UNIT NO.
2 By letter dated January 13, 1986, we issued our safety evaluation in regard to inservice testing of pumps and valves at the St.
Lucie Plant, Unit No.
2.
In that evaluation, we concluded that flow measurement devices for certain safety-related devices would need to be installed per the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel
- Code,Section XI.
Your letter of October 13, 1986 provided additional information on this issue to justify not installing the flow measurement devices.
Based upon our review of your October 13, 1986 letter, we find that there is no new information which would justify relief from the required pump testing.
Therefore, we are requiring you to proceed to install the flow measurement capability for the subject safety-related pumps.
Our supplemental safety evaluation is enclosed.
The hydraulic characteristics of the safety-related pumps cannot be determined without measurement ot pump flow rate.
However, the flow measurement devices need not be by means of safety-related equipment; control-grade equipment is acceptable.
The devices can be installed on pump recirculation lines instead of being installed on main pump lines.
Instrument readout can be local, and readout in the control room is not necessary.
- Thus, we believe that the installation of control-grade equipment on pump recirculation lines with local readout is not impractical.
By letter dated December 12, 1986, you provided schedular requirements for staff review.
In regard to this issue, you requested that the review be completed prior to January 31, 1987.
This was due to the long engineering, procurement, and construction lead times required for plant moditications.
Although this letter to you is a few days beyond your January 31, 1987
- request, we consider it still timely enough for you to install the flow measurement devices during the next outage, scheduled to commence in October of this year.

Mr.
C. 0.
Woody Should you continue to protest this requirement, you may do so by requesting an appeal meeting with upper NRC management within 15 days of receipt of this letter.
However, in our view, we do not intend to grant schedular relief for another fuel cycle, since we already granted schedular relief for the present cycle.
.Sincerely,
Enclosure:
