REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SEP TOPIC IX-1, FUEL STORAGE BIG ROCK POINT 1.

Provide a description of the piping systems for the spent fuel pool and discuss the potential for draining the pool below the level of the top of the stored fuel from pipe failures that would allow water to be drained, pumped, or siphoned out.

2.

List all sources of makeup water to the pool (include " damage control measure" sources such as fire hoses). Provide a discussion of the ability of these sources to renain functional following a seismic event.

3.

Discuss the adequacy of the plant systems and procedural controls to enable detection of low fuel pool level following a seismic event. List the instrumentation and alams associated with the spent fuel pool and the design criteria for the instrumentation and alams.

4.

Discuss the capability to detect loss of pool cooling and loss of water level in the event an accident occurred which would prevent entry into containment for an extended period of time.

Discuss the capability to cool the pool water and provide makeup to the pool if equipment inside the containment failed and containment could not be entered.
