[JgESTION 421.6 l "The following items from the 0-list need expansion and/or clarification as noted. Revise the list as indi-cated or justify not doing so.

1. Clarify that motor operators for 0-listed valves are included on the 0-list.

2. Clarify that post-LOCA ECCS leak detection systems are included on the Q-list."

RESPONSE

Table 3.2-1 of Section 3.2 is not a Q-list, but is, as stated in the text, a summary listing of the quality group classifi-cations of various plant structures, systems and components.

Each system for which valves are listed as components, and for which the motor-operators are considered to be Quality Assurance Requirement'I, includes the motor-operators on the valve listing. Where applicable, an electrical classifi-cation of lE indicates the inclusion of safety-related motor-operato..s under the respective valve listing. +

ENCLOSURE 2 (Clarification of Response to Q421.7)

The following adaitional information is provided in the format of Q421.7. Only those items identified by Messrs. Sournia ana Haas as requiring aaditional. clarification are aiscussen. *

1. Missle barriers protecting safety related equioment Response: Each missle barri r has.the same Quality Group Classification as tne structure within which it is locatea, ana is not, tnerefore, separately identified in FSAR Table 3.2-1.

7. Lake screen house ,

Response: The aesign of the lake screen house is described in F5AR Section 3.8.4.1.7. This structure is not related to safety. .Its interface with the ultimate heat sink through the CSCS intake is discussed in Section 3.8.4.1.7 ana in response to r Q10.7. Table 3.2-1, Item XLII will be revised as shown on the proposea reviseo page 3.2-16 with the aaaition of a Note (26) to Table 3.2-1 which will read:

Note (26): Concrete portions of the building, including the ,

portions that contain Category I systems, are '

designed to withstand Category I loads and modifications to these concrete portions of the 4

building,'if ever required, shall also be designed to withstand Category I loaas.

.(10M). Otner cable cenetrations (fire stops)

Response: . Fire stops, as is the case for all items falling witnin the Fire Protection System, are classified as non-safety related. Therefore, the designation in FSAR Table 3.2-1, Item

, XXXIII.10 is accurate. However, as indicatea in response to Question 421.1 and 421.2, the quality assurance program to be applied to the operation, maintenance and moaification of the t

'(Clarification of Response to Q421.8)

~

As ino1cated'in the response to question Q421.8 in the FSAR, Items 1, 3, 4, 5, 6,-7, 8, 9,.10 and 11 are not safety relatea. However, equipment facilities and processes aadress.ed in these items are all controllea by aaministrative controls-in

-conformance with guiaelines outlined in ANSI N18.7-1976 and Regulatory Guide _l.33 as defined in Appendix.B to the FSAR.

-Therefore, although the items listed above are not iaentified in FSAR Table 3.2-1 as Category I (Quality Assurance Requirements),

applicable.Q4A. requirements will be applied to assure their reliable operation. Adherence to these requirements is subject to periodic surveillance under the Commonwealtn Eaison Quality-_

Assurance Program.

Masonry walls (Q421.8, Item 2) identified as safety related in.the Commonwealtn Ecison review of LaSalle-County against I.E.

Bulletin 80-11 are subject to Category I quality assurance requirements anc will be controllea as such curing the operation phase of LaSalle County-for future-repair or modification. All masonry walls are not safety-relatec, and cannot be delineated

. generically in FSAR Table 3.2-1. Therefore, no further change to

• he FSAR is plannea. Any loaa bearing masonry wall requirea to maintain the integrity of the structure in which it is located is alreaay incluaec_uncer the structure classification in_FSAR Table 3.2 1 Item XLII. Therefore, those load _ bearing walls in Category I structures will also be classified as Category I anc will nave imposed appropriate quality assurance requirements. ,;

This issue, as discussed in FSAR Appendix L (Item L.34.16) is under review by the BWR Owners Group ana has not yet_ led to the aefinition of_any requirea modification (s) applicable to LaSalle County.

(20) Emergency Plans Response: In accordance with the requirements of 10CFR50.54(t),

tne Commonwealtn Eaison Generating Station Emergency Plan (GSEP) applicable to LaSalle County Station shall oe subject to an i r.a e p e n de n t annual audit by the Commonwealth Edison Quality Assurance Departaent. Actions shall be taken for evaluation and correction of a'l auait finaings (see GSEP Section 8.5; L. O.

DelGeorge letter to H. R. Denton aated March 27, 1981, transmitting GSEP Rev. L aated April 1981).

(21) Emergency Suoport Facilities Response: NUREG-0696 Rev. 2, whid provides criteria for tne aesign ana operation of these Emergency Support Facilities (including instrumentation), does not require the imposition of 10CFR50, Appendix 8 criteria. In fact, where-quality requirements are addressed, i.e., seismic design, class lE

' appliea.

versus non class lE, the lesser requirement is uninformly However, it is acknowledged that these facilities will be requirec to satisfy stringent unavailability goals and will be subject to technical specification surveillance. Upon implementation of those technical soecifications, surveillance

' unaer the Commonwealth Edison Quali*y Assurance Program will be imposed auring the operations phas of LaSalle County Station to further assure a level of reliability consistent with the criteri_ delineated in NUREG-C696.

(22) Implant 1 2 radiation monitoring Resoonse: Unlike some items discussed in NUREG-0737 for wnich quality assurance requirements were identified, none are explicitly imposea, for this item (III.O.3.3). This equipment was classified as non-safety relateo, ano, therefore as of this time, has not been subJectea to the Category I requirements of the quality assurance program. However, the operation of this equipment is subject to aaministrative controls ana will be sucject thereoy to surveillance uncer tne Co. nmo nwe a l tn Eci son Quality Asse ance Program. This is consistent with the response to Q421.8, Item 3. '
