Dear Mr. Grier:

We have reviewed the referenced bulletin concerning Engineered Safety Feature (ESF).".eset Controls with the following results.

A review of the drawings for all systems serving safety-related functions to determine whether or not upon the reset of an ESF 1.

actuation signal, all associated safety-related equipment remains The following tabu-in its emergency mode has been completed.

modification will be completed prior to the scheduled plant startup in July.

The safeguards pit isolation dampers close automatically on c.

a CIB signal and open on CIS reset unless hand switches located in the safeguards building are in the ESF position.

A seal-in circuit will be provided as in (b) above. The modi-fication will be completed prior to the scheduled plant startup in July.

d.

The SLCRS bypass and exhaust dampers move to their safety position on a CIA signal. The dampers have a maintained OPEN-CLOSE switch which will allow the dampers to return to their normal position on resetting CIA. A seal in circuit will be provided to prevent the dampers from returning to their normal position on CIA reset. Operator action at the control sw1tch in the control room will be required to re-position the dampers after CIA reset. This modification will be completed prior to the scheduled plant startup in July, The Saf ety Injection accumulator discharge isolation valves e.

have control switches which are maintained in CLOSE and spring return from OPEN to AUTO.

If the switch is in the CLOSE posi-tion, the valve will open on SIS but reclose if SIS is reset because of the maintained close switch position. The bypass is physically defeated by placing the valves in the open posi-tion and disconnecting power to the valve operator control circuits and removing the plug in the lock out circuit. Pro-cedures are in use which place this feature into effect in the proper operating modes and verify the open position per Technical Specifications. We have determined that no further action is required for these valves.

f.

Upon reset of the Feedwater Isolation Signal, the main feed-water control and bypass valves will return to their control function. Although there is no means to physically defeat the reset of these valves, the upstream isolation vavles close and =ain feedwater pumps trip off on feedwater isolation and do not automatically open or restart on reset of the signal.

Procedures also require the resetting of the valve controllers to the "0" open position prior to resetting the feedwater isolation signal. With these features, the opening of the contro1' valves has no effect upon feedwater flow to the steam We have determined that no corrective action is generators.

required for these valtes.

A test to demonstrate that all equipment remains in its emergency mode upon removal and/or manual resetting of the various isolating or actuation signal will be completed prior to the scheduled plant startup in July. The test will be in conjunction with the 18 month 4

ESF actuation system test and will also verify the modification described above function as designed.
