ADDITIONAL INRlRHATION REOUIRED BY CHEMICAL ENGINEERING BRANCH FROt1 SUSQUEHANNA STEAl'1 ELECTRIC STATION Chemical Technology Section/Chemical Engineering Branch (CEB) 281.1 (5.4.8)

(10. 4. 6)

Establish and state appropriate limits for the conductivity of the purified condensate to the reactor vessel in accordance with Regulatory Position C.l of Regulatory Guide 1.56, revision 1.

Also, describe the sampling frequency, chemical

analyses, and established limits for dissolved and suspended solids that wil,l be performed and the basis for these limits.

281. 2 (10.4,6)

Establish and state the sequential regeneration frequency in order to maintain adequate capacity margin in the condensate treatment system (Regulatory Position C.2 of Regulatory Guide 1.56, revision 1).

Include the basis for the resin re genera tion frequency.

281.3 Indicate that the initial total capacity of new demineralizer resins (5.4.8) will be measured and descri be the method to be used for this measure-(10.4.6) ment (Regulatory Position C.3 of Regulatory Guide 1.56, revision 1).

281. 4 (5.4.8)

(10.4.6) 281.5 (5.4.8)

(10.4.6)

Describe the method of determining the condition of the demineralizer units so that the ion exchange resin can be regenerated or replaced before an unacceptable level of depletion is reached (Regulatory Posi-tion C.4 of Regulatory Guide 1.56, revision 1).

Describe the method by which (a ) the conductivity meter readings for the condensate cleanup system will be calibrated, (b) the flow rates'hrough each demineralizer will be measured, (c) the quantity of the principal ions likely to cause demineralizer breakthrough will be calculated, and (d) the accuracy of the calculation of resin capacity will be checked.

Indicate the control room alarm set points of the conductivity meters at the inlet and outlet demineralizers in the condensate and reactor water cleanup systems when either (Regulatory Position C.5 of Regula-

.tory Guide 1.56, revision 1):

a.

The conductivity indicates marginal performace of the demineralizer systems; b.

The conductivity indicates noticeable breakthrough of one or more demineralizers.

281. 6 (5.4.8)

(10.4. 6) 281.7 (10.4.6)

The reactor coolant limits and corrective action to be taken if'he conductivity, pH, or chloride content is exceeded will be established in the Technical Specifications.

Describe the chemical analysis methods to be used for their determination (Regulatory Position C.6 of Regulatory Guide 1.56, revision 1).

Describe the water chemistry control program to assure maintenance of condensate demineralize influent and effluent conductivity within the limits of Table 2 of'Regulatory Guide 1.56, revision l.

Include con-ductivity meter alarm set points and the corrective action to be taken if the 1 imits of Tabl e 2 ar e exceeded.
