SUBJECT:
Resoonse to Letter Entitled, " Potential Unreviewed Safety Question on Interaction Between Non-Safety Grade Systems and Safety Grade Systems", Harold R. Denton to All Operatinn Linht Water Reactors, Sectember 17, 1979
Dear Mr. Denton:
Please find enclosed per the request of the subject letter an assessment of Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station I concerning the potential ef fects of non-safety system failures (caused by a high energy pipe break) on safety system performance. More specific and' ccmprehensive information and analysis requested by the NRC Staff (Thursday briefing, September 20, 1979) is a;so contained.
The assessment has identified no impacts on required safety actions and one potential analysis conclusion which would increase the consequences of a high energy pipe break. The consequences of analyzed high energy pipe breaks considered are:
1.
Calculated Peak Clad Temperature 2.
Peak Containment Pressure 3.
Peak Suppression Pool Temperature 4
Radiological Releases in particular, the assessment concludes that Pilgrim Statien air operated reactor head vent valves (2" line) utilize solenoid valves of the generic type outlined in NRC Sulletin 79-01A and a high energy pipe break environment could cause the two series head vent valves to open during the initial phases of the event. An analysis shows that such a bounded worst case may have a + 10 F impact on Peak 0
Clad Temperature. The analysis conservatively assumes that both head vent valves open completely and instantaneously coincident witn the worst pipe break inside containment, l l 2:1')

BOSTON EDISQN COMPANY H. R. Denton Page 2 NED 79-73 Boston Edison justifies continued operation of Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station I based on:
1.
The comprehensive review of the environmental interactions (due to analyzed high energy pipe breaks) between non-safety systems and safety systems; and 2.
The comDined low probability and relative insignificant ef fect of a " Pipe Break inside Containrent" result!ng in inadvertent operation of the reactor head vent valves, it is Bostor, ddison's Intent to eliminate the potential interaction of a " Pipe Break inside Containrent" and reactor head vent valve maloperation during the next scheduled or unscheduled plant outage.
Very truly yours,

Then personally appeared before me Stephen L. Rosen, who being duly sworn, did state that he is the Nuclear Engineering Manager of Boston Edison Company, that he is duly authori::ed to execute the foregoing statement in the name and on be-haif of Bostor. Edisen Company and tpat the statements are true to the be st of his knowledge and belief.
