VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY MRO 2 CHANGE IN RADI0 ACTIVE EFFLUENT SAMPLING EQUIPMENT

. The . Virginia Electric' and. Power Company plans to simplify the North Anna

"  : liquid radioactive' effluent sampling system to increase reliability and reduce exposure._

North Anna Unit ~ 1 license condition 2.D(3)e and North Anna Unit 2 license

' condition.2.G require us to notify' the NRC when plans are made to remove. or make' : significant changes in the normal operation.of equipment that controls the amount 'of radioactivity in effluents. Notification is required regardless.

of. whether the change affects the amount of radioactivity in effluents.

LWe- plann to remove liquid waste pumps 1-LW-P-28 and 1-LW-P-34~ and-associated control. equipment from the liquid waste system. LW-P-28 and 1-LW-P-34 are

_ pumps that'. draw .a sample ^ from the effluent that is going to the discharge _.

canal _and place the' sample in a: holdup drum for sampling analysis. :These

pumpsi have required a great deal of maintenance in the past. ' The pumps will be replaced by installing 1) a tee _in the existing grab sample inlet line, 2) a two_-way solenoid operated valve,-3) a 0 to 100 psig pressure indicator and-4)- a 1/4" manual regulating valve, with associated fittings and tubing to allow . sample flow.-. The modified -sample' system will function more . reliably

'than'the currently installed system and- reduce maintenance and personnel;

' exposure.
