August 25, 1993 MEMORANDUM FOR:
FROM:
Jack E. Rosenthal, Chief Reactor Operations Analysis Branch Division of Safety Programs Office for Analysis and Evaluation of Operational Data Herbert N. Berkow, Director Project Directorate II-2 Division of Reactor Projects I/II Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
SUBJECT:
SAFETY SIGNIFICANCE OF CORRECTIVE ACTIONS TAKEN IN RESPONSE TO IE BULLETIN 86-03 This responds to your memorandum dated August 9, 1993, regarding the safety significance of corrective actions taken by licensees in response to IE Bulletin (IEB) 86-03, "Potential Failure of Multiple ECCS Pumps Due To Single Failure of Air-Operated Valve In Minimum Flow Recirculation Line."
In the August 9,
- 1993, memorandum, you expressed potential concern about the Turkey Point initial short-term commitments (similar to the Point Beach Units) to address IEB 86-03, i.e., reliance on operator'ctions outside the control room to establish suction from the containment sump for ECCS after a loss-of-coolant-accident.
In a telephone conversation on August 18, 1993, the licensee indicated that by Plant Change Hodification Nos.86-181 and 86-184, for Units 3 and 4, respectively, the air-operated valves in question were replaced with motor-operated valves which can be operated from the control room.
Implementation 'of these modifications is documented in the licensee's System Acceptance Turnover Sheets dated April 23,
- 1990, and March 27, 1989, for Units 3 and 4, respectively.
As a result, the potential concerns raised in your August 9,
- 1993, memorandum are no longer valid for the Turkey Point Units.
