  • PALISADES PLANT - SEP TOPIC III-1, CLASSIFICATION OF STRUCTURES, COMPONENTS AND SYSTEMS (SEISMIC AND QUALITY)

The intent of this letter is to furnish all the information coil)Illitted to in Consumers Power Company March 31, 1982 submittal ("Palisades Plant SEP Expected Schedule for Completion of Proposed Action Items") regarding SEP Topic III-1.

Consumers Power Company August 12, 1982 letter, which addresses the five items of concern (Fracture Toughness, Radiograph Require-ments, Valves, Pumps and Storage Tanks, and Storage Tanks) inadvertently omitted one page from the enclosure. It was discovered that the page on Evaluation 1, "Pressurizer", of Appendix I, "Fracture Toughness", was missing from our August 12, 1982 letter.

The page which contains the fracture toughness evaluation of the pressurizer as well as the rest of the report sent to the NRC staff are being submitted as enclosures to this correspondence for the purpose of completeness and continuity.

Consumers Power Company appreciates the understanding of the staff and we apologize for any inconveniences that this error might have caused.

  • PALISADES SEP TOPIC III-1, *QUALITY. GROUP CLASSIFICATION OF COMPONENTS AND SYSTEMS
  • August ll, 1982

3 INTRODUCTION SEP Topic III-1, Quality Group Classification of Components and Systems, was developed to ensure systems and components in the Palisades Nuclear Plant were designed, fabricated, installed and tested to quality standards that reflect the importance of their safety functions.

To assess this, the NRC contracted the Franklin Research Center to prepare a report (Reference 1) which addresses safety margins of systems and components in light of the changes that have taken place in the design and licensing criteria.

Upon NRC review of Reference 1, several items were noted which could not be dispositioned due to a lack of information.

These items were then submitted (Reference 2) to Consumers Power for disposition.

This report contains those dispositions.

In some cases, information was not available to disposition each item per the NRC guidelines.

However, in each of these cases an evaluation was completed concluding that the item did not pose a significant hazard to plant safety.

Therefore this SEP Topic is con-sidered adequately addressed and complete.

The disposition and evaluations are contained in each of the following appendices.

Appendices correspond to the six (6) items of concern listed in Reference 2, page 3 and 4.

FRACTURE TOUGHNESS APPENDIX I CONSUMERS POWER COMPANY PALISADES PLANT SEP III-1, QUALITY GROUP CLASSIFICATIONS OF COMPONENTS AND SYSTEMS

APPENDIX I SYSTEMATIC EVALUATION PROGRAM SAFETY TOPIC III-1 QUALITY GROUP CLASSIFICATIONS OF COMPONENTS AND SYSTEMS ITEM Fracture Toughness Requirements CONCERN Current code requires that the fracture toughness of certain Class 1, 2 and 3 components be evaluated to ensure adequate margin between the lowest service temperature and the nil ductility transition temperature.

For 52 of the 77 components reviewed by t~e Franklin Institute there was insufficient informa-tion to determine if fracture toughness was an issue.

RESPONSE

Table A2-2 of the Franklin Report was reviewed to determine the 52 items of concern.

This list is included in Table I-1.

Design and construction information was gathered on the 52 items and compared to the established criteria exempting components from fracture toughness re-quirements.

These criteria, detailed in Section 4.1.1 of Appendix A of the Franklin Report are listed below:

Class 1

-Materials whose nominal thickness is 5/8 in. or less

-Bolts 1 in. or less

-Pipes, fittings, pumps and valves with nominal pipe size six (6) in. or less

-Austenitic stainless steels

-Non-ferrous materials

-Drop weight tests are not required for martensitic high alloy chromium (series 4xx) and precipitation hardened steels Class 2

-Exemptions *1isted for Class 1 components

-Materials whose lowest service temperature exceeds 150F are exempt from impact testing

-Commonly used plate, forging, and casting materials listed in Table A4-2 of Reference 1 when used in components whose lowest service temperature (LST) exceeds the tabulated nil ductility transition temperature (TNDT) by at least the thickness-dependent value A, determined from Figure A4~l of Reference 1.

Class 3

-Exemption listed for Class 1 components

-Materials listed in Table 4-3 in the thickness shown when the LST for the component is at or above the tabulated temperature.

-Materials for components for which the LST exceeds 100 F are exempt from impact testing.

Table I-1 summarizes the results of the above comparison.

As can be seen, many items were exempted, because of materials (23 items). co~ponevt thickness (15 items), component diameter (2 items) or other reasons (3 items).

This left 9 items remaining to be dispositioned.

1) Pressurizer
2)

Piping RCS Hot and Cold Legs

3)

Safety Injection Tanks

4)

Component Cooling Water Pillnps

5)

Service Water Pumps

6)

Main Steam Piping (counted as two items)

7)

Atmospheric Pump Valves

8)

Feedwater Piping Evaluations were completed on these items as noted in Table I-1.

These evaluations are included in this appendix.

Based on the results of the research and evaluations completed, Consumers Power Company considers the item of fracture toughness requirements adequately disposi-tioned.

EVALUATION 1 PRESSURIZER Tables A4-2 through A4-6 and Figure A4-l of Reference 1 will be used to eval-uate the resistance to brittle fracture of the pressurizer.

The method follows the example calculation for the primary pipe presented in Reference 1.

The Lowest Service Temperature (LST) is 130F.

From Table A4-3 of Appendix A of Reference 1, TNDT= lOF for SA-533 Grade B Class 1.

The permissible LST is

~NDT +A where-A is the required temperature margin over TNDT as determined

r-:tom Figure A4-l of Appendix A of Reference 1.

For material 5 15/32" thick, A = 60F then:

LST -

TNDT )A 130F -

lOF = 120F) 60F So that this material, if it were a Class 2 or 3 component would be exempt from impact testing.

The fact that the pressurizer is Class 1 would not'exempt it from impact testing based on present code requirements.

However, the fact that the LST exceeds the TND by more than 150% of A allows us to conclude that the pressurizer material used in the construction of the Palisades Plant is adequate, provided that exposure to radiation does not induce an increase of the TNDT sufficient to require the fracture mechanics _approach.

In this re-gard, note that paragraph NB-2332(b) indicates that if the LST exceeds the nil ductility transition temperature (TNDT) by lOOF, then the fracture mech-anics approach is not required.

In this case:

LST -

TNDT = 130F - lOF ")lOOF So that the material of the Palisades pressurizer is considered adequate.

EVALUATION 2 SAFETY INJECTION TANKS The actual nil ductility transition tempera~ure (TNDT) data is not available for the Palisades safety injection tanks. Accordingly, an evaluation was made of the fracture toughness as follows:

1)

The material of the tank is 15/16 in. thick A-515 Grade 70. TNDT data for steel of this type show the TNDT is probably in the tange of 80-90F.

2)

The average hoop stress in the tank is at the operating pressure of 200 psi.

one half of the yield stress of 38,000 for brittle fracture is very low.

approximately 12,800 psi This stress is less than psi and thus the potential

3)

The steady-state operating temperature of the safety injection tanks is equal to the temperature in the dome of the containment building.

This temperature is typically above 115F which is25-35F above the expected TNDT of the safety injection tank material.

This margin of 25-30F is consistent with the required margin of 30F specified in Figure A4-l of Reference 1.

Accordingly, the fracture toughness of the Palisades safety injection tanks is considered adequate.

EVALUATION 3 COMPONENT COOLING WATER PUMPS (3)

SERVICE WATER PUMPS (3)

Materials used in construction of these pumps are as follows:

Components Cooling Water Pumps - Case Service Water Pumps

- Bowl Discharge Head Discharge Colunm Carbon Steel Cast Iron Carbon Steel Carbon Steel Documentation could not be found identifying specific types of the above materials.

Design and estimated Lowest Service Temperatures (LST) are as follows:

Design LST CCWS Pumps SW Pumps 140F 300F*

  • Based on piping design temperatures 90F 32F Without the material specifications and thicknesses of the pump casings, an evaluation following the guidelines of Section 4.1 of the Franklin Report cannot be conducted.

These pumps were also included in the evaluation of Appendix IV of this report.

Although a fracture toughness evaluation could not be completed on these pumps, Consumers Power is not aware *Of any information which indicates*that fracture toughness is a concern for pump pressure boundary parts.

The design margins of safety as described in the FSAR relevant to operation of these systems of this report are as follows:

CCWS PUMPS Any one of three pumps is capable of supplying component cooling requirements during normal plant operation.

During shutdown, one pump can furnish at least 50% of the maximum shutdown cooling water requirements.

For post-DBA operation, one pump can furnish at least 50% of the required capability for cooling the containment spray and safety injection recirulcation water.

For the DBA condi-tion, the containment sprays are backed up by an independent redundant cooling system, (the containment air coolers) which do not rquire component cooling water

EVALUATION 4 FEEDWATER SYSTEM MAINSTEAM SYSTEM These piping systems were fabricated per the following:

All feedwater piping and main steam piping 24" or less in diameter Main steam piping 26" or greater in diameter Al06 Grade B Al55-KC70 Class 2

Normal service temperature for the Feedwater and Main Steam System is 435F and 514F respectively.

Lowest Service temperature for both of these systems is above 350F.

Except during startup when the Feedwater System temperature can be as low as 70F.

Since this time is short and relatively infrequent this case is not considered in this evaluation.

The maximum material thickness is 1.250".

From.Figure A4-1 of Reference 1, A = 30F for piping less than or equal to this thickness.

The T DT of the above material is not readily available_.

However, using the

  • form~as given in Section 4.1 of the Franklin Report, the TNDT would have to be greater than 320F before impact testing would be requirea:

LST -

TNDT = 30F 350F -

TNDT = 30F ; TNDT = 320F As TND 's in the magnitude of 320F or greater are highly impropably, Consumers Power.Company concludes that the Feedwater and Main Steam Piping material used in the construction of the Palisades Plant is adequate.

EVALUATION 5 ATMOSPHERE DUMP VALVES (4)

Body material for these valves is chrome-moly (WC-6) Alloy Steel.

The valves

  • are Class 2 and have normal service temperature of 532F and an estimated lowest service temperature of at least 350F.

Therefore according to the fracture toughness exemption criteria for Class 2 components given in Section 4.1 of the Franklin Report this material is exempt from impact testing.

Also, if the LST exceeds the reference nil ductility transition temperature (RTNDT) by lOOF then fracture mechanics is not required.

In this case, the LST is 350F 20:

LST -

TNDT = lOOF or 350F -

TNDT = lOOF indicates that the TNDT has to be 250F or greater before fracture mechanics is required.

This magnitude of TNDT for this material is highly unlikely.

Therefore, the material of the atmospheric dump valves is considered adequate.

Full Radiography Requirments - The licensee should provide the following:

A.

Category C joints in current Class 2 or 3 vessels built to Class C requirements do not satisfy current radiography requirements.

For the following pressure vessels information is necessary regarding the radiographic requirements imposed on the Category C welds:

(1) regenerative heat exchangers, (2) letdown heat exchangers, (3) purification filter, (4) volume control tank, (5) excess letdown heat exchanger, (6) shutdown cooling heat exchanger, (7) boric acid filter, (8) purification deminerali-zer, (9) deborating demineralizer and(lO) CCWS heat exchanger.

B.

The_ present code requires full radiography for Class 1 and 2 welded joints for piping, valves, and pumps, where as it was not required in past codes.

However, Provisions 2 and 3 of Code Case N-7 required full radiography.

Confirmation that Code Case N-7 was applied to all Class 1 and 2 piping would resolve this concern.

RESPONSE

Vessels As this concern pertained to Category C welds in current Class 1 and 2 vessles, a review vas initiated to determine the classification of the ten (10) identified pressure vessels.

These classifications are determined by the Palisades Plant Technical Staff, based on Reg Guide l.?.h. The results of the review are noted in Table II-1 and eliminated several of the identified vessels (note, one item - the excess letdown heat exchanger - does not exist at Palisades).

1

Consumers Power Company initiated research of the available documentation for construction radiography requirements for the ten identified vessels.

The re-sults of this review are also presented on Table II-1.

As can be seen, docu-mentation of construction radiography requirements was found for all classed vessels with the exception of the shutdown cooling heat exchanger.

Furthermore, a review was made of the Palisades Inservice Inspection 40-Year Master Plan for current inspection requirements on these vessels.

These re-quirements are listed in Table II-2 and are completed once every ten (10) years.

Note the shutdown cooling heat exchanger is adequately covered by the Inservice Inspection Program.

Several inspections of regenerative heat exchanger welds are also required by the Palisades Technical Specifications, Section 4.4, as listed below:

- dye check at least 10% of all welds in each system Table II-3 provides documentation of the construction.radiography required on the Class 1 and 2 piping systems at Palisades.

The information in this table was taken from the Bechtel Piping Specification M-249 (Drawings 5935-M-249, sheets 1-5).

Additionally the inspection program implemented at Palisades was reviewed.

This program meets the requirements set forth in Section XI of the ASME Code.

Table II-4 summarizes the results of this review.

The table is set up to show the number of volumetric and surface examinations scheduled to be performed over a 40-year period.

Palisades is presently at the end of the first 10 year interval of the 40-year master plan.

By the end of 1983, approximately 25% of planned inspections will be complete.

Based on the results of the research conducted and documented in Tables II-3 and II-4, the item of radiography requirements for Class 1 and 2 piping is considered adequately dispositioned.

VALVES APPENDIX III CONS'LWERS POWER COMPANY PALISADES PLANT SEP III-1, QUALITY GROUP CLASSIFICATIONS OF COMPONENTS AND SYSTEMS

APPENDIX III SYSTEMATIC EVALUATION PROGRAM SAFETY TOPIC III-1 QUALITY GROUP CLASSIFICATIONS OF COMPONENTS AND SYSTEMS ITEM Valves CONCERN Provide, on a sample basis for Class 1, 2 and 3 valves, information regarding the design of the valve in order to evaluate if they meet current body shape and pressure-temperature rating requirements.

RESPONSE

Of the 8599 valves in the plant, 275 (53 Class 1, 184 Class 2, 36 Class 3, 2 Un-classed) are listed in Procedure No. EM-09-02, "Inservi*ce Testing of Plant Val;es,"

of the Plant Engineering Manual.

These valves were selcted in accordance with NRC letter dated January 13, 1978 and follow-on discussion with the NRC.

This list includes:

1)

Those valves required to function to safely shut down the plant in the event of an accident.

2)

Those valves required to function to mitigate the conse-quences of an accident.

3)

Those valves required to function to prevent the uninten-tional release of radioactive fluids or gases to the out-side environment.

4)

Those affording a safety-related overpressure protection function.

5)

Those for which the nature of their service or their location dictates that administrative controls be exer-cised to ensure the valves are not inadvertently left out of their safety positions during plant operation.

All remaining valves are considered installed for operating convenience or main-tenance, and are therefore not included in the Inservice Inspection (ISI) program.

Consumers Poyer Company intends to performs the following evaluation on a sample basis as requested by the NRC:

Class 1 Valves -

Compare actual body shape with body shape rules of Section NB-3544, ASME Code Section III Division 1, 1977 through 1978 Summe~ Addenda.

If the' shapes are not significantly different, they are con-sidered adequate.

1

Class 2 and 3 Valves - Identify pressure-temperature rating requirements of Class 2 and 3 valves and compare them to the pressure-temperature ratings of ANSI Bl6.34-1977, "Steel Valves".

To develop the sample for evaluation, the valves were grouped according to valve type, class (either l or 2/3), and manufacturer (see Table III-l). Data sheets and drawings of the valves were obtained and reviewed with the following results:

Class 1 Valves - There is insufficient information to perform the body shape evaluation for Class 1 valves.

Nevertheless Consumers Power Company considers that the Class 1 valves should be adequate for the following reasons:

1) The plant has been in service since 1972 and in this 10-year period, corrective actions have been taken to resolve valve problems which have occurred.
2) The valves are included in the ISI program which requires periodic operability test-ing and examination of the pressure bound-ary integrity.

Class 2 and 3 Valves - The results of the evaluation of these valves are summarized in Table III-2.

There is sufficient information to evalute the pressure-temp-erature rating£ of 21 of the 24 groups representing 168 of the 220 total Class 2/3 valves.

Of the 168 valves, 2 do not meet the current pressure-temperature requirements.

These are CV-1910 and CV-1911, the reactor system sampling line containment isolation valves.

These are 1/2 inch 1500# valves made of 316 S.S.

The system design pressure is 2485 psi.

Based on the current pressure-temperature rating, the design pressure of the valve is 2220 psi.

Although this valve design pressure is less than the system design pressure by about 10%, the valve design pressure is siig tly less than the normal operating pressure of 2250 psi.

The valves are considered adequate because they are very small and because the current pressure-temperature rating is greater than the normal operating pressure.

PUMPS APPENDIX IV CONSUMERS POWER COMPANY PALISADES PLANT SEP III-1, QUALITY GROUP CLASSIFICATIONS OF COMPONENTS AND SYSTEMS

APPENDIX IV SYSTEMATIC EVALUATION PROGRAM SAFETY TOPIC III-1 QUALITY GROUP CLASSIFICATIONS OF COMPONENTS AND SYSTEMS ITEM Pumps CONCERN Eight (8) of the twelve (12) pumps reviewed were designed to standards other than ASME B&PV Code Sections III or VIII, 1965.

These codes were not available and the compariso~s could not be made.

Provide the codes or requirements to which the 8 pumps were designed.

RESPONSE

Through the Systematic Evaluation Program (Topic III-1), the question of what design codes were used in the design of 8 of 12 pumps reviewed arose.

This question is addressed in Table IV-1.

As can be seen from this table, 3 of these pumps were designed to ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code, Sections III and/or VIII, while a fourth is in fact not a pump.

Therefore, these 4 items give no cause for concern.

The codes to which the remaining 4 pumps were designed to are also supplied in Table IV-1.

These pumps are included in our Inservice Inspection Program and have been in service since 1972.

The ty:pes of tests run on these pumps are listed in Table IV-1.

These tests are performed monthly when the plant is in operation.

Table IV-2 supplies the design temperature, design pressure, and material used for each pump.

The information available to Consumers Power Company is insufficient to perform analyses in accordance with ASME Section III.

However, due to the fact that these pumps are tested regularly per the ISI Pillnp and Valve Program and the fact that they have been inservice since 1972, Consumers Power Company feels that the safe operation of the Palisades Nuclear Plant related to these 4 pumps is ensured.

TANKS APPENDIX V CONSUMERS POWER COMPANY PALISADES PLANT SEP III-1, QUALITY GROUP CLASSIFICATIONS OF COMPONENTS AND SYSTEMS

APPENDIX V SYSTEMATIC EVALUATION PROGRAM SAFETY TOPIC III-1 QUALITY GROUP CLASSIFICATIONS OF COMPONENTS AND_ SYSTEMS ITEM Storage Tanks CONCERN This Appendix is to present the results of an evaluation of the Palisades atmos-pheric and low pressure (0-15 psig) storage tanks in accordance with the require-ments presented in Reference 2.

Specifically, the NRC requested the following:

RESPONSE

a)

Confirm that the atmospheric storage tanks meet current compressive stress requirements

  • b)

Confirm that the 0-15 psig storage tanks meet current tensile allowables for biaxial stress field conditions.

c)

Six of the nine tanks were designed to standards other than ASME B&PV Code Sections III or VIII.

These codes are not available and the comparisons could not be made.

Provide the codes or requirements to which the six tanks were designed.

The nine storage tanks to be evaluated are identified in the Franklin Technical Evaluation Report C-5257-428.

The six tanks which, according to Reference 2 were designed for codes other than the ASME Code are:

Refueling Water Storage Tank (SIRW)

Hydrogen Recombiner Iodine Removal Hydrazine Tank

. Iodine Removal NaOH Makeup Tank Boric Acid Blender Condensate Storage Tank The three tanks which, according to Reference 2, were designed to an ASME Code are:

Safety Injection Tanks Concentrated Boric Acid Tanks Components Cooling Water Surge Tank

The evaluation of these storage tanks was performed in two phases as follows:

Phase 1 consisted of a review of the design information available at Consumers Power Company to determine whether sufficient infor-mation was available to resolve the NRC concerns.

Phase 2 consisted of additional analyses and evaluations for those items for which the existing information was not sufficient to resolve the NRC concerns.

As shown in Tables V-1 and V-2, the NRC concerns could be resolved for seven of the nine storage tanks based on the information available at Consumers Power Company.

Specifically, Two of the items are not storage tanks.

Four of the items are pressure vessels with a design pressure greater than 15 psig and are not atmospheric or low pressure (0-15 psig) storage tanks.

One item is a small diameter indoor atmospheric tank designed to ASME Code Section III, Class C requirements.

The compres-sive stresses in the tank are negligible.

The refueling water storage tank and the condensate storage tank were identified as requiring further evaluation in Phase 2.

a)

Refueling Water Storage Tank (Class 2)

The refueling water storage tank is called the Safety Injection and Refueling Water (SIRW) Tank at Palisades.

The tank is lo-cated outdoors. It was evaluated in accordance with ASME Code Section III, NC-3100 for Class 2 vessels.

In addition, com-pressive stresses were evaluated in accordance with NC-3852.6(b).

The results of the calculations are summarized in Table V-3.

They are as follows:

(1)

The tank was designed to A5A B96.l (1967).

(2)

The material is 5454 aluminum.

This is an acceptable material for ASA B96.l and for ASME Code Section III, Class 3.

It is not an acceptable material for ASME Code Section III, Class 2.

This difference is not consid-ered significant because aluminum is a suit-able material for an outdoor storage tank for borated water.

(3)

The wall thickness of the lower shell is 0.406 inches.

This is nearly 20% greater than the wall thickness (0.333 inches) required by ASA B96.1 but approximately 2

/l l0% less than the wall thickness (0.450 inches) required by ASME Code Section III, Class 3.

Class 3 requirements were used for comparison because 5454 aluminum is acceptable for this class and because spot radiography is permitted.

A joint efficiency of 0.85 is used when spot radiography, rather than full radiography, is specified.

Note that for Class 2, which assumes a joint efficiency of 1.0, the required wall thickness (0.382 inches) is less than the tank wall thickness.

Accordingly, the wall thickness is considered satisfactory because it is conser-vatively sized based on the original code re-quirements and because the wall thickness is only 10% less than required by the ASME Code.

(4) The tank was spot radiographed.

As noted above, this is permitted for Class 3 tanks but not for Class 2 tanks.

This level of nondestructive exam-ination is considered satisfactory because the tank has oeprated satisfactorialy for more than ten years and because the tank is included in the Palisades inservice inspection (ISI) program which requires periodic visual inspection of the tank.

b)

Condensate Storage Tank (Class 3)

As shown in Table V-3, the calculations* for the condensate storage tank show it meets current requirements.

APPENDIX VI SYSTEMATIC EVALUATION PROGRAM SAFETY TOPIC III-1 QUALITY GROUP CLASSIFICATIONS OF COMPONENTS AND SYSTEMS ITEM Unidentified Codes for Certain Components CONCERN Six (6) components lacked information on the design codes as identified in Table 4.2 of the Franklin Report.

These components are as follows:

1) Reactor Coolant System Block Valves
2)

Containment Spray Nozzles

3)

Shutdown Cooling/Low Pressure Safety Injection Pumps

4)

Excess Letdown Heat Exchanger

5)

Deborating Demineralizer

6) Purification Demineralizer

RESPONSE

Table 4. 2 of the Franklin Report lists design codes for Class l, 2 and 3 components.

A review of the above components classification according to the Palisades Q.-list was completed.

The results noted that:

a)

Excess Letdown Heat Exchanger does not exist at Palisades b)

The Deborating Demineralizer and the Purification Deminer-alizer are not classed therefore are eliminated from this item.

For the remaining items a document search was conducted to identify the design codes with the following res.ults:

a)

The RCS Block Valves were bought with Purchase Order 5935-M-241-BC, Section 2.0 of this order states:

All valves shall conform to the applicable standards of ASA Code for Pressure Piping B 31.1 and ASA Code for Steel Pipe Flanges and Fianged Fittings B 16.5.

Valves in Nuclear Service shall meet the requirements of Nuclear Code Case N-2 and N-10, except for Paragraph 8 of N-10.

~...

n JI b)

An extensive records search was conducted for the design code(s) used for the containment spray nozzles.

This search included:

i Purchase Specifications 5935 G-1 ii Drawing Files iii Correspondence Files (M-134) iv FSAR v Drawing 5935-M-134-AC-2-1 vi Drawing 5935-M-134-AC-1-1 No design codes were identified for the spray nozzles.

The piping was designed to B31.1.

Due to the function, operational experience and testing of these nozzles, this item is not considered a safety hazard and no further evaluations or research is required.

c) The Franklin Report has separate listings for the shutdown cooling/low :pressure safety injection pump and the low pressure safety injection pumps.

The Franklin Report states that the Palisades low pressure safety injection pumps meet current requirements, but no further information was avail-able on the other pump.

The reason for this is that Palisades does not have a separate shutdown cooling pump.

An extensive records search was conducted for design code(s) for the shutdown cooling/low pressure safety in-jection pumps.

This review included:

i Combustion Engineering Spec 70P-Ol4 ii Drawing Files Ml-G-B iii Correspondence Files (Ml-G-B, M-1) iv Pump Data Base v

FSAR vi Bechtel Spec Ml-G-B vii Combustion Engin~ering Correspondence Files Althqugh the design criteria of these pumps were never found to be specifically addressed, ASME Section VIII was referenced in the Purchase Specification Ml-GB.

Therefore, Consumers Power Company suspects that Section VIII of the ASME Code was used as a basis for design of these pumps.

This supports the Franklin Report's conclusions on the acceptability of these pumps.
