UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555 December 3, 1990 MEETING
SUMMARY
SUBJECT:
STATUS OF LICENSING ACTIONS, ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEMS UPGRADE AND RADIATION MONITORING SYSTEM UPGRADE, SALEM GENERATING STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, DOCKET NOS. 50-272/311 DATE AND November 14, 1990 TIME:
2:00 p.m.
LOCATION: One White Flint North, Room 15H-10 I. Background This was a periodic meeting, held between the licensee and the NRC to determine what upcoming activities are planned that may require action to amend the technical specifications and to determine the status of pending licensing actions~ At this meeting the status of two major plant upgrade efforts, electric power system and radiation monitoring system, was provided by the licensee.
II. Status of Licensing Actions The status of licensing actions that have been submitted for NRC approval was discussed. The change that extends the operating license expiration date from 40-years after issuance of the construction permit to 40-years after issuance of the operating license was identified as being one the licensee would like on a priority basis.
No other requests currently in-house were identified as being urgently needed.
One clarification of the operation of a containment radiation monitor will be needed for the Unit 1 upcoming outage. This would clarify the operability requirements for the monitor during integrated containment leak rate testing.
III. Electric System Upgrade On August 15, 1989, at a management meeting with NRC, the licensee presented a status of the electrical system upgrade at Salem.
At the completion of this project, a new 13kv ring bus would be installed, vital buses would be separated from the group buses and a dedicated power source for the circulating water pumps would be provided. The current status is that one half (6) of the circulating water pumps have been connected to the existing ring bus and the remainder will be connected to the existing ring bus in 1991.
The licensee is currently reevaluating the installation of the second ring bus because of cost overruns.
IV.
Radiation Monitoring System Upgrade Because of all the reported failures of the radiation monitoring system, the licensee has decided to replace the system in both the Salem units.
In order to upgrade the existing system, custom made parts would have been required.

PDC Also, the systems installed in Salem 1 and 2 are different.
By replacing the systems, identical systems will be installed. The replacement project is expected to be completed in 1993, however the scope to the project has not been completed.
The project scope and schedule should be completed by the end of January, 1991. Current information shows there are about i5 monitors covered by technical specifications and about 15 non-technical specification monitors per unit at Salem 1 and 2.
The upgrade at Salem 1 will require the pulling of new cables. Also, a new power supply for the radiation monitoring system is scheduled to be installed at the next outage at Salem 2.
Salem 2 had a digital systera which makes it more susceptible to voltage fluctuations.
