Ritzman TELEPHONE: 609-339-1445 The following items were evaluated in accordance with the provisions of the Code of Federal Regulations 10CFR50.59. The Station Operations Review Committee has reviewed and concurs with these evaluations DESIGN CHANGE PACKAGE DCP lEE-0349, Pkg. 1, Rev. O The proposal involves the replacement of a relief valve in the circulating Bearing Safety Evaluation S96- water pump bearing lube water section of the Circulating Water System.

064 Lubrication Pressure Relief The modification is within the Circulating Water System and is not Valve (1SC16) Replacement addressed in the Technical Specifications or "Bases". The effects on the Circulating Water System reactor and its associated margins of safety due to postulated pipe breaks is not addressed in the basis of any Technical Specification section.

Therefore, the proposed modification does not reduce the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any Technical Specifications. Technical Specification Sections 2.0, B2.0, 3/4, 3/4. 7, 3/4. 7.1, B3/4, B3/4. 7, B3/4.7.1 and 5.0 were reviewed in making this determination.

There are no changes to any Technical Specification value Coolant System) and no new effect on the margin of safety associated with this change is created. The proposed change is descriptive in nature and is not a hardware change. It will have no effect on the availability, operability (ability to perform safety related function), or performance of systems and components important to safety and does not affect the plant technical specification requirements. The proposed change does not require a change to the technical specifications and does not prevent inspections or surveillance required by technical specification. Therefore, the proposed change will not reduce the margin safety, as described in the bases for any technical specification

SORC: 97-033 Safety Evaluation 897-068 DCP The proposed change package will restore vent panels and their fasteners lEC-3475, Pkg. 1, Rev. 0, Inner to a more reliable condition and improve reliability of the pressure relief and Outer Penetration Area function of these panels. Implementation of the proposed modifications Blowout Panel Modifications will have no negative impact and hence is not considered to represent a reduction in the margin of safety.

SORC: 97-033 MISCELLANEOUS Safety Evaluation #S97-065 on Because certain single active failures can impact two of the three installed Basis for Technical Specification CCW pumps, three CCW pumps must be operable at the start of an 3.7.3 Component Cooling Water accident to assure the two operable CCW loops required by the technical (CCW) System Operability specifications. Applying the prior UFSAR guidance that implied only two operable pumps are required, one CCW pump could have been tagged for maintenance at the start* of an accident. In that case, a single failure could have impacted the two operable pumps and reduced system capability below the minimum safeguards alignment.

10CFRS0.59 EVALUATIONS DOCKE.O: 50-272 MONTH: MARCH 1997 NAME: Unit 1 CONTACT: R. Ritzman TELEPHONE: 609-339-1445 The following items were evaluated in accordance with the provisions of the Code of Federal Regulations 10CFR50.59. The Station Operations Review Committee has reviewed and concurs with these evaluations MISCELLANEOUS Safety Evaluation S97-089 The Salem Technical Specification section identified above was reviewed Discrepancy Report 970204195 and determined not to be affected by the proposal. The Emergency Air Utilization of Service water as Compressors and CA system are not addressed in the Technical the principal cooling medium for Specification and the use of Service Water as a cooling medium is an the Unit 1 and 2 Emergency approved operational mode described in procedure Sl/2.0P-SO.CA-Control Air Compressors OOOl(Q). Therefore the proposal does not affect the margin of safety defined in any Technical Specification. Service Water is part of the design basis for ECAC cooling and is listed in the FSAR as a back up source.

The proposed Power Source for #13 Aux. Bldg. modification will not change the ability of the Auxiliary Building Exhaust Fan (1VHE47) Ventilation System to satisfy the basic criteria for preventing the uncontrolled release of radioactivity.

SORC: 97-038 Temporary Modification 96-004, This T-Mod inserts a jumper to bypass the vacuum pressure switch in the Vacuum Interlock Removal - 1 lB circulator starting logic. The T-Mod also revises the circulating water 1 lB Circulating Water Pump, pump operating procedure to require that the condenser water boxes are Safety Evaluation S96-012 vented to approximately atmospheric pressure prior to starting the circulator. The T-Mod is being installed to support Unit 2 startup in that Circulating ~ater is ne~essary to p~event violation of the NJPDES permit requirement limiting thermal discharges to 27.5 F for the unit. Unit 2 Nuclear Service Water discharges into Unit 1 Circulating Water discharge piping. The T-Mod will be removed upon installation of lEC-3537 prior to Mode 4 of Unit 1. The circulator will not be used with the T-Mod installed for normal power operations. The operation of a circulator with a vented water box has been proven via the installation and the subsequent testing of the Unit 2 DCP. That testing showed that operation of a circulator with the condenser waterboxes vented to atmosphere results in pressures within the design analysis and below the structural design limits.

SALEM GENERATING STATION MONTHLY OPERATING

SUMMARY

- UNIT 1 MARCH 1997 SALEM UNIT 1 The unit is in a refueling and steam generator replacement outage and remained shutdown for the entire period. According to commitments from PSE&G and a subsequent confirmatory action letter from the NRC, the unit will remain shutdown pending completion of the following actions:

  • Appropriately address long standing equipment reliability and operability issues.
  • After the work is completed, conduct a restart readiness review to determine for ourselves the ability of the nit to operate in a safe, event free manner.
  • After the restart review, meet with the NRC and communicate the results of that review.
