Nuclear Regulatory Commission Office of Inspection and Enforcement Region 1 631 Park Avenue King of Prussia, Pennsylvania 19406

Dear Mr. Grier:

NRC IE BULLETIN NO. 80-05 SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE NO. 1 AND 2 UNITS SALEM GENERATING STATION Pursuant to our initial response of June 6, 1980 on the subject bulletin, please be advised that a subsequent investigation has revealed. two addition.al tanks that could be subjected to conP,itions that might cause inward buckling of the tanks.

The evaluation of these tanks i~ as follows:

1.

Pressurizer Relief Tank (PRT).

The PRT is automatically maintained with a 3 psig nitrogen cover.

In addition~

the tank has rupture disks that are designed to protect __ _

against both excessive pressure or vacuum.

2.

Reactor Coo].ant Drain Tank (RCDT).

The RCDT is fitted with a tank pressure readout*on the Auxiliary Control Panel.

A low pressure.alarm (0.5 psig) is also provided on

  • this panel.

In add-i tion, the tank is* designed to operate under a full vacuum. -

In summary, these two additional tanks which can contain primary fluid are adequately designed to protect against inward buckling.

If you require additional information, we will be pleased to discuss it with you.

Sincerely, Attach.
