Letter dated August 1, 1986 (NLS-86-209) from Mr. R. A. Watson (CPRL) to Dr. 3. Nelson Grace (NRC)

Dear Sirs:

Carolina Power i!t: Light Company updates the status for fuel load for the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant (SHNPP) provided in the referenced letter. Carolina Power i!r. Light Company is nearing completion of design, construction, and testing of the SHNPP. These activities have been or will be completed in accordance with representations and descriptions contained in the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) and supporting documents.

Carolina Power 2 Light Company has completed a detailed assessment of the status of the work activities necessary to support fuel load and low power/power ascension testing at SHNPP. The results of this effort indicate that the design, construction, testing, and management tracking systems required as prerequisites for receipt of an operating license will be completed mid-October 1986. This schedule allows for security lockdown, radiation control procedure implementation, and Technical Specification surveillance test implementation during a phase-in period prior to the issuance of an operating license. Consistent with the practices of other recent licensees, such as Millstone 3 and Catawba 2, the construction, preoperational testing, and post-test review for several SHNPP activities that are unrelated to fuel load will not be complete prior to fuel load.

Carolina Power dc Light Company's evaluation of this deferred work concludes that these systems do not affect the ability of SHNPP to operate safely during fuel load and low power/power ascension testing. lists those construction activities that will not be completed and are not essential at the time of fuel load. Attachment 2 lists those preoperational tests that will not be completed and are not needed prior to fuel load; these tests will be performed after fuel load during start-up testing as identified.

r Of fice of Nuclear Re r Regulation NLS-86-359 / Page 2 Completion after fuel load of activities identified in the attachments to this letter has been evaluated with the conclusion that the health and safety of the public will not be adversely affected. Carolina Power R Light Company has in place a comprehensive system to manage and complete the remaining punchlist items (i.e., outstanding construction items, required hardware modifications, and test exceptions disclosed during preoperational test and inspections). This list is updated daily to provide management with the information needed to complete the work. Items on the punchlist classified as restraints to fuel load will be closed or dispositioned prior to commencement of fuel load. Similarly, items classified as restraints to any of Operational Modes 5 through l will be closed or dispositioned before operation in such mode is commenced.

Procedures required for operation of SHNPP are essentially written and approved as previously discussed with Region II. Any remaining procedures will be approved prior to the mode of operation for which the procedure is required. Certain surveillance test procedures being written to implement the Technical Specification surveillance requirements will not be complete at fuel load. Some of these surveillance requirements are satisfied initially by performance of a preoperational test procedure. The remaining surveillance test procedures will be completed and approved and surveillance tests performed prior to the mode for which they are required. Finalization of the SHNPP Technical Specifications is currently in progress.

Based on the attached lists, SHNPP construction and testing will be essentially complete mid-October and CPRL will be ready to receive an operating license. Carolina Power 2 Light Company intends to file a facility completion letter and a Technical Specification certification letter in early October as the final documentation prior to fuel load. Should you have any comments regarding our status for fuel load, please contact me at your convenience.

ATTACHMENT l Construction Activities to be Com leted After Fuel Load

~Activit 3ustif ication Completion of l-Hour Fire Wrap and The l-hour wrap is Penetration Seals (3-Hour Fire Wrap approximately 90 percent has been Installed for Cable Protection) complete and the penetration seals are approximately 93 percent complete. CPRL will take the compensatory actions required by the SHNPP fire protection program until fire protection features are completed. It is expected that five continuous fire watches and three roving fire watches will be required. CPdcL considers this to be a very manageable number of watches and it provides an equivalent level of protection.

Completion of Electrical Separation Rewor k The electrical separation engineering walkdown is complete. The rework items have been split into ESF circuits, RPS circuits and buildings (i.e.,

containment, RAB).

Sufficient levels of protection exist via fuses or primary protection, as verified by Wyle test data, and start-up testing and inherent design conservatisms (i.e.,

conformance with IEEE-279 and BTP 9.5-1) to continue rework of separation items during core load and low power testing. ESF cables will be reworked prior to fuel load.

Completion of Installation of The New Fuel Pool has Freestanding Racks in the Spent storage capacity in excess Fuel Pool of a complete core discharge; therefore, prior to first refueling this work will be completed.

Completion of the two North End Fuel Work to be done on a Pools and Their Associated Cooling and noninter ferring basis.

Cleanup Systems These pools are not needed for near-term cycles of spent or new fuel.

Miscellaneous Work Associated with Punchlist items will Remaining Punchlist Items be completed or dispositioned prior to the operational mode for which they are required.
