This review was conducted based on the proposed AFW upgrade described in attachments to the District's submittals of November 17, 1980, September 8, 1981 and July 27, 1982.

Your September 7,1982 letter, further stated that the upgraded AFW system modifications will be completed during the next refueling outage presently scheduled to begin in January, 1983.

Based on conversations with your Sydney Miner, we believe that the NRC staff has an understanding that the AFW upgrade which includes the safety grade EFIC (Emergency Feedwater Instrumentation &

Control) system will not be completed until the refueling outage after fuel cycle 6 which is currently scheduled for late 1984/early 1985. However, safety grade AFW flow instrumentation and an interim safety grade initiation of AFW will be provided during the next refueling outage now scheduled for January, 1983.

There are two additional items which we feel should be made relative to the Safety Evaluation Report transmitted with your September 7,1982 letter.

First, your review of the upgraded AFW system was based upon B&W Document No.

15-1120580-Revision 01. Minor changes continue to be identified as the manu-facture proceeds and consequently, the document is revised as needed. Since the NRC staff has accepted the design as described in Revision 01, the District proposes to review changes from that revision under the provisions of 10CFR50.59 and provided that no unreviewed safety question is identified, we will not seek further NRC review prior to implementation. The second item relates to a state-ment in our November 17, 1980 letter, which said that the upgraded AFW design This implies will automatically load both AFW pumps on the emergency) diesels.

This is not the District's intent. Automation actuation of P-318 will be via the automatic startup of the turbine driver and the necessary associated valves will be powered by an emergency diesel generator. The motor drive on P-318 will be capable of manual start from diesel power in the event of failure of the turbine to start.
