E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant Docket No. 50-244

Dear Mr. Crutchfield:

This letter addresses additional questions raised by members of the NRC staff while reviewing our previous submittals (most recently April 27, 1984) regarding RGEE's program to achieve compliance with 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix R. It can be postulated that following a fire inside containment at a specific location removed from high temperature

lines, separated from reactor coolant pump lubricating oil and in a low traffic area near several transmitters and electrical penetrations, that redundant circuits for pressurizer level and reactor coolant system pressure could be damaged.

However, actions can be taken to compensate for the loss of these circuits following the specific postulated fire such that safe shutdown can be achieved.

A reactor coolant system pressure indicator is available at the Post Accident Sampling System (PASS) panel outside containment.

Although not normally in

service, the indicator can be aligned to the reactor coolant system by opening remotely operated valves outside containment and by remotely opening an air-operated valve (AOV) from the B loop inside containment or, should the AOV be inoperable, by manually aligning three small valves from the A loop inside containment but away from the fire area.

Pressurizer level indication, per se, is not necessary following this postulated fire.

Pressurizer level can be inferred from charging and letdown flow, normal pressurizer response to reactor shutdown and chemical and volume control system inventories.

Therefore, adequate indication exists to achieve stable safe shutdown.

er truly yours,
