Gentlemen:

Millstone Nuclear Power Station, Unit No. 2 I&E Bulletin No. 80 Engineered Safety Features Reset Control In Reference (1), the NRC Staff requested that Northeast Uuclear Energy Company (UNECO) investigate concerns related to the reset logic of engineered safety feature (ESF) components.

NNECO responded to the Reference (1) concerns in Reference (2), which included a listing of the ESF components whose reset logic did not conform to the recommendations delineated in Reference (1). Upon subsequent review of these IEF components, NNECO determined that the reset logic associated with certain components did not require modifications. These items are described in Reference (3), as supplemented by Reference (4), together with justification for their deletion from the Reference (2) listing.

The purpose of this correspondence is to provide the NRC Staff with additional information supplementary to that of Reference (4) which substantiates the Reference (3) conclusions.

.-h-Ite=s 132 and 136 Iov Pressure Safety Injection (LPSI) pu=ps F k2A and P k2R are secured upon receipt of a Su=p Recirculation Actuat,L2 Sigmal (SRAS). Reset of a SPJLS vill result in the restart of the LPSI pu=ps only if a Safety Injeccion Actuation Signal (SIAS) is still present.

Operation of these co=ponents following reset of the SEAS is described in Reference (h). The conclusions and sup',crting. justification for the deletion of these co=ponents frc= the Peferance (2) listing, provided in References (3) and (4), re=ain valid.

Ite=s 180 and 187 It was reported in Reference (4) tha*. the Stea= Generator Feedvater Isolation Valves, F/-5k19 and El-5420, close upon receipt of a Main Stes= Isolation Signal (MSIS).

It was also reported that, upon reset of a MSIS, these valves vould reopen.

In actuality, these valves vill re=ain closed due to the differential pressure that vill exist across the valve upon loss of feedvater associated with a =ain stes isolation signal. The operation of the stea=

generator feedvater isolation valves is described below for clarification.

Upon receipt of the MSIS, the air supply solenoids to the operators of valves El-5419 and h'/-5h20 close and the vent solenoids open, venting the air operators permiting the sving check, steam generator feedvater isolation valves to close.

Reset of the MSIS closes the vent solenoids and re-applies air to the operators. As was stated above, however, the differential pressure across the valve that vill exist following a loss of =ain feedvater on MSIS vill prevent it frc= reopening.

As was discussed in Reference (h), the potential for '.he reopening of these va'.ves following a MSIS will be of no operational concern. ICTICO =aintains this position and the infor=ation presented above supports this conclusion.

  • 4e trust you find this infor=ation satisfac+e / to clarify Reference (k).

Very truly yours, NORT5.ZAST NUCLEAR INIRGY COMPANY W
