SUBJECT:
PURGE/VENT VALVE SEAL PERIODIC LEAK TESTS Re:
R.
E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant In our Safety Evaluation Report for the Ginna plant, dated June 21,
- 1984, the staff presented that the Ginna plant would be required to propose technical specifications for performing periodic purge/vent valve seal leakage tests.
You responded with a submittal dated October 30, 1984 in which you presented the fact that only one test would be performed prior to the installation of a new system.
The increased safety resulting from doing this single test is not justified and therefore the staff agrees that you will not be required to submit a technical specification amendment at this time.
However, in the event that the new purge/vent system is not installed in accordance with the above schedule, the staff will require you to formally commit within 30 days to either:
(1) propose a technical specification amendment requiring periodic valve seal tests; or (2) supply historical data from Type C tests which demonstrate that valve seal deterioration is not a
problem and hence the periodic valve seal tests are unnecessary.
It should also be noted that the staff will require you to have a technical specification amendment requiring periodic valve seal tests in place before the reactor is started up following the installation of the new purge/vent system.
Sincerely, cc:
