ATTACHMENT 1 Consumers Power Company Palisades Plant Docket 50-255 MATERIAL CONDITION TASK FORCE July 29, 1988 4 Pages OC0788-0083-NL02

ATTACHMENT I Material Condition Task Force The intent of the 1986 Material Condition Task Force (MCTF) was to review all known equipment problems or concerns and recommend appropriate followup actions. Therefore, MCTF actions are equipment related improvements or evaluations intended to enhance Plant performance and reliability. The original MCTF effort identified 307 actions or evaluations. To date, 210 items have been completed. Of the remaining 97 items, 44 are scheduled for the September 1988 refueling outage and 41 are defined as long-term improve-ments within the Palisades Plant Five Year Plan. Of the remaining items, five have been deferred from their original completion date, and 15 are clarifi-cations of the original planned action. Details on these items are provided below.

The following items have been deferred from their previously planned completion dates:

December 1, 1986 MCTF.

Item Number Designator Status 169, 170 and EPS-04 These three items pertain to the fuel 171 oil supply for the diesel generators.

Specifically, they address the provision of additional storage capacity, procure-ment of a spare fuel oil transfer pump and providing a secondary containment for the fuel oil storage tank. These ite.ms have been deferred from Refout 88 and are presently scheduled to be completed in the planned 1989 Maintenance .

Outage. No overriding operator concerns or impact on Plant safety were identified which were not addressed by the Plant's present system.

251 PCS-13 The original item called an evaluation/

modification of the pressurizer heater breakers due to poor component reliability.

The evaluation regarding potential replacement is still ongoing with evaluation completion expected during Refout 88. Since this item was originated, component perfor-mance/reliability has significantly increased. This trend is being evaluated against past performance.

OC0788-0083-NL02

2 318 SWS-01 The original item called for inspection of Service Water System (SWS) valves manufactured by Allis.Chalmers for potential valve seat erosion. The valves not yet inspected and originally scheduled for Ref out 88 have been deferred into the Palisades Plant Five Year Plan. Inspection would require provisions for alternate shutdown cooling.

This provision was also required for CCW heat exchanger replacement, however, the heat exchanger project remains under evaluation and it is not beneficial to establish alternate shutdown cooling only for valve inspection. No immediate operator concern has been noted regarding valve inspection.

The following are clarifications of actions from those origi~ally planned:

December 1, 1986 MCFT Item Number Designator Status 87 AFW-06 Original pl.~ms called for the replace-*

ment of control valve cv~0521. Current plans are to repair the valve rather than replace it.

102 CCS-02 Current plans are to inspect and repair, as necessary, the internals of only component cooling wa*ter pump P-52C in Refout 88. The results of this action.will be evaluated during further Plant operation to determine the need for similar action on P-52A and P-52B.

149 CVC-13 Control valves CV-2153, 2155 and 2165 were recently repaired and have since performed satisfactorily. Original plans for valve replacement during Refout 88 will not be completed.

163 DTA-02 Plans for replacement of the Plant sequence of events monitor and data-logging system will not be completed by Refout 88 as originally scheduled.

However, replacement of the PIP, SP!

and Plant data-logger will be completed under the Palisades Five Year Plan. -

OC0788-0083-NL02

3 177 ESS-02 . The original f tem called for the initiation of a contingent Facility Change package for safety injection checkvalve replacement. The contin-gency plan has been developed, however, a Facility Change will not be developed.

179 ESS-03 A vendor evaluation determined safety injection pressure control valves and fill and drain valve leakage was acceptable in this application. Repairs will be effected this Refout for known leakers. Effects of repairs will be evaluated during future Plant operation.

183 ESS-05 Shutdown cooling heat exchanger inlet and outlet control valves will be repaired as necessary to control leakage by the valve seat. The effects of these repairs will be evaluated duripg future Plant operation to determine if original plans for valve replacement are still warranted..

• 188 ESS-11 Engineering evaluations have been undertaken. Problems still exist.

Further evaluations are in progress.

196 ESS-24 Containment spray valves CV-3001 and CV-3002 have been repaired. After further review of the surveillance procedure by Operations Department personnel, it has been decided that no changes will be made to the surveillance procedures.

241 PCS-07 Primary coolant system loop measurement channel recorder for TS-0115 and PS-0115 were originally planned for replacement in Refout 88. This action will not be taken in that a new recorder is being added which will record the same information as part of the core cooling instrumentation modification scheduled for Refout 88. After the modification is complete, plans are for original recorder removal.

OC0788-0083-NLOi

4 244 PCS-11 Primary coolant pump motor disassembly and preventive maintenance has been deferred until the 1989 Maintenance Outage. Primary coolant pump motor instrumentation was repaired during the 1987 Maintenance Outage while motor bearings were being inspected and repaired.

254 PCS-15 This item will be dispositioned like PCS-07 above. The core cooling inst-rumentation modification will provide a new recorder. After completion of the modification, PTR-0125 will be removed rather than replaced.

297 RIA-25 Previous plans called for removal of steam generator blowdown monitor RIA-0707 since its use did not support Plant operations. However, since the- intro-duction of boric acid into the secondary side water, a reliable moriitor is again felt necessary to monitor radioactive rel~ases when batching steam generators. The monitor is currently planned for replace-ment in 1989.

339 TGS-07 A modification was performed .to increas*e reliability and require less auxiliary operator attention. This modification has improved pilot valve operation and therefore, original replacement valve replacement plans will not be completed.

344 TGS-12 Per vendor recommendations regarding limit switch application and operation, the existing limit switch will be main-tained _rather than replaced.

ATTACHMENT II System Functional Evaluation The original efforts under the System Function Evaluation (SFE) program were an in-depth comparison of Palisades Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) statements and emergency and normal operating procedures against known plant operating characteristics and existing tests. The goal of the SFE was to ascertain that plant systems met design intent through formalized testing or plant operation.

Testing was conducted prior to plant restart in April 1987 where proper system/equipment operation. was not verifiable by existing tests or equipment performance histories. This portion of the SFE required 110 tests be performed. The results of these tests were transmitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Region III staff in June 1987. Followup efforts to these one time startup tests and other SFE review outcomes resulted in 214 subsequent action items. A later technical review of the original SFE program by Plant pe~sonnel resulted in 62 additional actions.*

To date, 82 percent of the total SFE items have been completed. As stated in the June 24, 1988 meeting, the remainder of the items*(except those which require outage c.onditions to be performed) will be completed by September 9, 1988. An SFE close-out summary detailing each item and overall

_SFE program results will be transmitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission by the.end of September 1988.

ATTACHMENT I II Safety System Functional Inspection The Safety System Functional Inspection (SSFI), IE Inspection Report

• 50-255/86029, conducted by the NRC from September 22 to October 24, 1986 involved an assessment of the operational readiness and functionality of the

• Plant's High Pressure Safety Injection System (HPSI). During the inspection, attention was focused around the details of original HPSI system design and modifications, maintenance efforts and current system operation. From the original 29 actions, two equipment issues remain to be completed as detailed below:

Action Item Discussion Schedule Modify HPSI miniflow *Past HPSI test results revealed Refout 88 piping to enhance that HPSI pumps may not be dev-testing eloping the minimum recirculation flow required. This recirculation flow is needed to prevent pump damage resulting from overheating when the HPSI pumps are operated against a shutoff head.

Rebuild non-Q Past preventive maintenance efforts Refout 88 Limitorque ope~ators did not require lubrication of motor-operated valves (MOV). Q-Limitorque operators have been rebuilt and tested. ~esults were provided as Palisades response to IE Bulletin 85-03. Remaining non-Q Limitorque operators will be rebuilt as specified.

ATTACHMENT IV Other Issues Category The actions which remain open under this category represent equipment issues beyond the MCTF and other Plant instituted improvement programs. These commitments represent ongoing long-term efforts to improve Plant performance and reliability.

Configuration Control Project (CCP)

In Section 2-III.G.B of Consumers Power Company's lette.r dated December 1, 1986, the following actions regarding Phase I of the Configuration Control Project (CCP) were identified.

1. Assemble a Consumers Power Company System Evaluation Group,

2. Select systems which have vital safety functions and vital support functions,

3. Complete a comprehensive review of these systems by the System Evaluation Group (SEG) and

4. Issue a report on the results of the review.

The purpose of the (SEG) was fulfilled by the System Function Evaluation. (SFE) Team which performed in-depth reviews of each of 33 systems in arriving at the 12.

systems selected for needing further immediate and long-term improvements,'

A report i'Phase I Preliminary Assessment ... Configuration Management" was issued internally in August 12, 1987. The actions in regard to Phase I are considered complete.

In addition, in Section 2-III.G.B. of the same response, Consumers Power Company made the following commitments in regard to the Phase II of CCP.

1. "Review the above (Phase II) activities by the System Evaluation Group"'

and,

2. "It is anticipated that Phase I of the program will be completed in four to six months, while Phase II will require two to three years."

Rather than establish the SEG for Phase II, Consumers Power Company has formed a Technical Advisory Group (TAG) to .oversee the CCP Scope as required by Commitment 1. The SFE Team which performed in-depth reviews of each 33 systems, selected the 12 systems for inclusion in the CCP scope. It is intended that the CCP Scope will be monitored and approved by TAG for these 12 systems and for additional systems as appropriate in the future.
