RESPONSE TO PALISADES SECOND TEN-YEAR INTERVAL INSERVICE INSPECTION PROGRAM REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (TAC NO 72622)

Consumers Power Company was informed during a telephone conference call on April 18, 1990 that additional information and changes to our March 29, 1990 response were required. These changes were necessary to enable the NRG staff to complete their review and evaluation of the Palisades Inservice Inspection Program which was originally submitted to the NRG on December 19, 1988.

Consumers Power Company's response to the concerns identified during the telephone conference call are detailed in Attachment 1.

Consumers Power Company agrees that certain components in Class 2 systems should not be exempted per IWC-1220 1974S75 Section XI of the ASME Code.

Therefore, it was necessary to revise our March 29, 1990 submittal to incor-porate the comments received during our April 18, 1990 telephone conference.

Changes were required in the Class 2 exam tables, the previous line size exemption was removed from regenerative heat exchanger Class 2 shell welds.

Items 2D and 2E from our March 29, 1990 letter have been revised to remove the previous exclusions which had been taken on Emergency Core Cooling subsystems, Containment Spray System and the Class 2 pumps. Items 2H and 2I from our March 29, 1990 have also been revised.

As requested by the NRC staff, a copy of this information is being forwarded to Boyd W Brown, Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, P 0 Box 1625, Idaho Falls, Idaho 83415-2209, in order to expedite the review.

1 NRC CONCERN Regenerative heat exchanger E-56A and E-56B have been excluded from examination requirements based on Section XI, IWC-1220(c).

CPCo RESPONSE The Class 2 portion of the regenerative heat exchanger was previously exempted from examination based on the inlet nozzle line size being less than four inches. During the telecon it was pointed out that this line size exemption was taken in error. Therefore, the Class 2 examination tables are being revised to include circumferential shell welds numbers 01 and 02 on heat exchanger E-56A for examination during the second, third and fourth intervals. Also, vessel supports S-02 and S-03 on E-56A have been added to the examination schedule during the second, third and fourth intervals. The nozzle welds are exempted from examination, per Section XI, Category C-B, footnote (2).

On vessel E-56B the Section XI, Category C-A welds will not be examined as allowed by footnote (3) of this category. The vessel supports on E-56B will not be examined as allowed by Section XI, IWF-2510 (b).

OC0790-0790-NL02

2 NRC CONCERN Item 2. D., from Consumers Power Company letter to the NRC dated March 29, 1990 applied the pressure temperature exclusion from the 1974 edition, Sununer 1975 addenda of Section XI, paragraph IWC-1220(a) to three subsystems attached to the SIRW Tank. This system is part of an emergency core cooling system and this exclusion should not be applied to these subsystems.

CPCo RESPONSE This exclusion has been removed from these three subsystems and examinations are now scheduled for the welds and hangers for all three lines. Table Al has also been revised to reflect this change (Attachment 2).

The three affected lines are:

ESS-6-SIS-CRH Line is found on page 451 in the exam tables.

ESS-6-SDC-REl Line is found on page 435 in the exam tables.

ESS-6-SRT-REl Line is found on page 461 in the exam tables.

On line ESS-6-SIS-CRH weld numbers 214, 215, 225, 226, 237, 238, 242 and 243 have been scheduled for examination during the second, third and fourth intervals. Additionally, all pipe hangers on this line are now scheduled for examination during the second, third and fourth intervals.

3 NRC CONCERN Item 2. E., from Consumers Power Company letter to the NRC dated March 29, 1990 determined that the Containment Spray System did not perform an emergency core cooling function and was not required to be tested as allowed by Section XI, 1974 edition Summer 1975 addenda, paragraph IWC-1220(b). 10CFRS0.55a(b) (2)

(iv) requires that pipe welds in CHR systems be examined. This federal regulation takes precedence over the Section XI paragraph. Verify that the ISI Program will be revised to include a representative sample of welds in the Containment Spray System.

5 NRC CONCERN Page 40, from Consumers Power Company letter to the NRC dated March 29, 1990 applied the pressure and temperature exclusion and the controlled chemistry exemptions from the 1974 edition, Summer 1975 addenda of Section XI, paragraphs IWC-1220(a) and (c) to the Containment Spray Pumps, Charging Pumps, Concentrated Boric Acid Pumps, High Pressure Safety Injection Pumps and Low Pressure Safety Injection Pumps. These systems are part of the emergency core cooling and containment heat removal systems and should not have these exemptions applied to these pumps.

CPCo RESPONSE Page 40 from our March 29, 1990 letter, (Attachment 2) has been revised to eliminate these exclusions. Examinations are now scheduled f*or these pumps.

6 NRC CONCERN Consumers Power Company response to Item 2.H. in CPCo letter dated March 29, 1990 needs to be revised to indicate that the intent of USNRC Regulatory Guide 1.150 will be met when examining reactor pressure vessel welds.

CPCo RESPONSE Consumers Power Company has adopted the position on USNRC Regulatory Guide 1.150 that has been developed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation. This position is incorporated in the Westinghouse procedure, CPAL-ISI-154, Revision 2, used for the performance of this testing. This procedure meets the intent of all the requirements specified in USNRC Regulatory Guide 1.150 for testing reactor vessel welds. Westinghouse will be performing our reactor vessel examinations during this ten year interval.

7 NRC CONCERN Regarding item 2.I. from March 29, 1990 letter from Consumers Power Company to the NRC, NRC requires that previous response be revised to include a performance demonstration of ultrasonic testing instrumentation and procedures to prove that this equipment and procedures are capable of detecting outside diameter surface connected defects in the circumferential orientation in a laboratory test block.

CPCo RESPONSE These examinations are scheduled to be performed during the last refueling outage of the second interval. Prior to the performance of these examinations CPCo will demonstrate on a laboratory test block which contains crack type defects that the test equipment and procedures utilized are capable of detecting outside diameter surface connected defects in the circumferential direction.
