VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY SURRY POWER STATION UNITS 1 AND 2 1ST PROGRAM SER ANOMALIES SUPPLEMENTAL RELIEF REQUEST Serial No.

90-546A NO/ETS Docket Nos. 50-280 50-281 License Nos. DPR-32 DPR-37 Our letter dated November 29, 1990, (Serial No.90-546) provided the disposition of the anomalies identified in your Safety Evaluation Report (SER) for the Units 1 and 2 ASME Section XI lnservice Testing (1ST) Program for Pump and Valves. Interim relief requests were included for pump and valve testing to support Unit 1 operation, where the Section XI instrumentation was not installed during the current Unit 1 refueling outage.

We have since identified the need for a permanent pump testing relief request.

Specifically, the Outside Recirculation Spray Pumps inlet pressure instruments have not been installed. Based on system configuration, it_ has been determined that the instruments are unnecessary to perform the required Section XI testing.

The relief requests for the Outside Recirculation Spray Pumps for both Units 1 and 2 are include in the Attachment to this letter. Also included as attachment to this letter is a revised version of Table 1 from Attachment 1 in the November 29, 1990 letter.

Please replace our previously transmitted Table 1 (page 15 of 15) of Attachment 1 with this revised Table 1 and add the attached relief requests P-4 (4) to Attachment 4 of the November 29, 1990 letter.

Your prompt attention to the Unit 1 relief request and any necessary approval is being requested. It remains our intent to implement these revised relief requests with the startup of Unit 1, currently scheduled for December 5, 1990. If you have any additional questions, please contact us.

ATTACHMENT SURRY POWER STATION UNIT 1 AND 2 RELIEF REQUEST P-4 OUTSIDE RECIRCULATION SPRAY PUMPS

RELIEF REQUEST P-4 I.

IDENTIFICATION OF COMPONENTS System

Recirculation Spray Pump(s) : 1-RS-P-2A 1-RS-P-2B Class
2 II.

IMPRACTICAL CODE REQUIREMENTS Measure inlet and differential pressures.

III. BASIS FOR RELIEF Inlet pressure instrumentation is not installed.

However, the outside recirculation spray pumps obtain flow through a suction bell immersed in the pump casing.

During testing, a casing level is established by filling the casing with PG water to provide NPSH to the pump.

Flow is recirculated through the pump, recirculation line, and back to the casing~

By establishing a casing level and maintaining it constant for all tests, any variation in pump differential pressure would be directly indicated by monitoring pump discharge pressure.

The static inlet pressure will be calculated and subtracted from the discharge pressure to yield a differential pressure.

IV.

ALTERNATE TESTING Maintain a constant pump casing water level from test to test by filling the casing with PG water to yield the same suction pressure for each test, then measure discharge pressure.

The static inlet pressure will be calculated and subtracted from the discharge pressure to yield a differential pressure.
