In response to your staff's request for additional information and con-clusions regarding the subject equipment, please find attached a dis-cussion of equipment features and our conclusions regarding equipment qualification.

The equipment is qualified for LOCA accident conditions.

We confidently conclude that the equipment can be expected to perform its safety func-tion if it is needed to mitigate an accident condition.

We hope this supplemental discussion will assist you in reaching the same conclusion.

Very truly yours,

~a G.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ON EQUIPMENT JUSTIFICATION i'll EPN'IA-PROG-lA Additional information has been obtained to qualify and further justify the programmer.

This data is summarized below:

LOCA - During the LOCA, the programmer is exposed to a maximum of T = 128 F,

R.

H.

= 65%

and the six-month integrated dose is 1.2x104 rad.

Review of the materials of construction show that the programmer is not susceptible to these conditions.

It should be noted that the programmer does not contain any integrated circuits.

The programmer is qualified for the LOCA conditions.

HELB - The worst case HELB conditions include a maximum T = 180o F and R.

H.

= 100%.

I/hile steam test results are not currently avail-able, the following data strongly indicates that the programmer will perform its required function:

1)

The programmer is hermetically sealed.

2)

The long-term humidity of Profile 21X is not a steam condition, but is due to hot water on the reactor building floor.

R.

H.

=

100% is a conservative representation of this condition.

3)

The equipment would be accessible soon after a

HELB for mainte-nance.

4)

In any one HELB accident, one of the programmers would not be exposed to temperatures in excess of 128o F.

It is concluded that the programmer will perform its safety function for at least 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, and access for maintenance can then be accom-plished.

Additional information has also been obtained on operation of the ADS sys-tem.

The charged accumulator tanks on the safety;relief valves are sized to operate each valve five times, instead of once as previously stated.

This number of operations should be sufficient to depressurize the reactor without use of the CIA system for additional valve cycling.
