Dear Mr. Grier:

NRC IE BULLETIN NO. 80-12 July 18, 1980 DECAY HEAT REMOVAL SYSTEM OPERABILITY SALEM GENERATING STATION UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-272 AND 50-311 In our June 9, 1980 response to the subject Bulletin, we reported that we had reviewed the circumstances and *sequences of events which caused the loss of decay heat removal (DHR) capabilities at the Davis-Besse Plant, events at Salem Generating Station where decay heat removal capabilities were affected, and physical hard-ware capability of our facility to prevent DHR loss events.

We indicated that procedural review was in progress and expected to be complete by July 18, 1980; that review is still ongoing and procedures will be upgraded, wherever possible improvements are identified, by September 15, 1980.

Our Emergency Instruction, I-4.22, "Loss of Residual Heat Removal (RHR) shutdown Cooling," has been revised to provide additional guidance for recovery from a loss of RHR System.

Recently received

  • NRC recommended Technical Specification changes are being evaluated for timely incorporation into our license to provide long term as-surance that DHR capability will be maintained.

Upon completion of the design changes required to automate the switchover from injection to cold leg recirculation, other procedur-al modifications will be made o In the interim,.our present plant design and our existing procedures, coupled with the impending Tech-nical Specifications changes, will provide the necessary diversity and redundancy to assure adequate DHR capability for all modes of operation.
