PROPOSED EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS

RESPONSE

TO REQUEST FOR CLARIFICATION (TAC NOs.

M89878 and M89879)

The purpose of this letter is to clarify one fission product barrier threshold value as requested by your staff on October 24, 1996.

The "Loss" threshold value for containment barrier 3.4 currently reads, "Primary to secondary leakage greater than technical specification limit AND UNCONTROLLED release of secondary coolant from the associated steam generator is occurring".

Your staff proposed, and we agreed to, the following change to that threshold value:

"Primary to secondary leakage greater than technical specification limit AND release of secondary coolant from the associated steam generator to the environment is occurring".

Page 4

of 26, revision 2,

of PMP 2080 EPP.101, "Emergency Classification",

the EAL basis document for containment barrier 3.4 steam generator secondary side

release, and page 12.3-72, revision xx of the emergency plan have been changed and are provided in the attachment to this letter.

We remain available to answer any additional questions that the NRC staff might have.

Sincerely, E.

None MODE APPLICABILITY 1,2,3,4 BASIS (References)

NORMAL CHARGING hiODE -

The normal charging flow path through the volume control system including design and alternate flow paths, and flow to reactor coolant pump seals.

LOSS -

Secondary side release paths to the environment include atmospheric relief valves and main steam safety valves, the condenser air ejectors, and the gland seal vent. A release path to the environment should be considered to exist if a main steam FPB 3.4 - SECONDARY SIDE RELEASE

Page 2 safety or an atmospheric relief is failed open. Containment LOSS due to steam releases via the steam jet air ejector and gland seal vent monitors should be declared on the basis of dose assessments rather than by direct application of the fission product barrier table.

The technical specification limit is one gallon per minute through all steam generators or 500 gallons per day through any one steam generator.

For smaller breaks, not exceeding the capacity of one charging pump in the NORMAL CHARGING MODE, an ALERT classification will result ifthe ruptured steam generator is isolated.

If the steam generator remains unisolated, this EAL will be a discriminator for SITE AREA AND GENERAL EMERGENCIES.
