l I. INTRODUCTION My name is John C. Brons, Resident Manager of Indian Point Unit No. 3, owned and operated by the Power Authority of the State of New York. Prior to 4

joining the Power Authority in 1980, I had 21 years of experience in the United States Navy. My duty assign-ments included Commanding Officer of a nuclear sub-marine, 0.puty Submarine Squadron Commander, and senior member of the Nuclear Propulsion Examining Board. In this third assignment , my last in the Navy, my duties included conducting intensive inspection of Atlantic Fleet nuclear-powered ships and setting standards of continued safe reactor operation.

As an employee of the Power Authority, I am senior Power Authority Manager at the Indian Point Unit No. 3 site, and have overall responsibility for the safe, efficient, and dependable operation of the unit. A statement of my professional qualifications is attached.

My name is Kenneth R. Chapple, Acting Director, Nuclear Operations and Maintenance, Indian Point Unit No. 3, owned and operated by the Power Authority of the State of New York. During my employment at the Power Authority, I have been assigned to Indian Point Unit No. 3 in the capacity of Outage Coordinator and Acting Superintendent of Training. I am presently assigned l

1 the responsibility for reviewing the operations and maintenance practices at Indian Point Unit No. 3. A statement of my professional qualifications is attached.

i My name is William Spataro, Senior Metallurgist, Mechanical Design and Analysis Department of the Power Authority of the State of New York. I have over 14 l

years experience in nuclear power plant design, con-9 struction, and operation. My responsibilities include material selection and evaluation, welding, nondestruc-tive evaluation, protective coatings, corrosion resist-ance, interpretations of industry codes and standards, as well as implementation of quality control proce-dures. A statement of my professional qualifications is attached.

The purpose of this testimony is to addresss Contention 2.2(a) of this proceeding which reads as

, follows:

2.2: The following additional specific safety measures should be required as conditions of operation:

i a) The cooling system at the plants should be changed so that it no longer uses brackish Hudson River water. This change is needed to correct safety-related corrosion problems.

It is the position of the Power Authority that the current cooling water system in use at Indian Point Unit No. 3 is acceptable, as it does not pose an undue l risk to the public health and safety.

II. DESCRIPTION OF COOLING WATER SYSTEM A. Service Water System The Service Water System was designed to supply cooling water from the Hudson River to various heat loads in both the primary and secondary portions of the plant. Provision was made to ensure a sufficient flow of cooling water during normal operation and under accident conditions to those systems and components necessary for plant safety, such as the containment fan cooler units and motor coolers. Sufficient redundancy of active and passive components was provided to ensure that cooling is maintained to vital loads for short and long periods in accordance with the single failure criterion.

B. Containment Air Recirculation Cooling and Filtration System The Containment Air Recirculation Cooling and Filtration System was designed to remove the normal 4

heat loss from equipment and piping in the reactor containment during normal plant operation, and to remove sufficient heat from the reactor containment following a design basis loss-of-coolant accident, in order to keep the containment pressure within the design limits.

The air recirculation system consists of five air handling units. The cooling water requirements for all .

_4_

fi/e fan cooling units and motor coolers during a major loss of primary coolant accident and recovery are supplied by two of the three nuclear service water p umps.

The cooling water which discharges from the cooling coils is monitored for radioactivity by routing a small bypass flow from each coil through a common radiation monitor. Upon indication of radioactivity in i

the effluent, each cooler discharge line is monitored individually to locate the defective cooling coil which, when identified, would remain isolated. Opera-tion would continue with the remaining units. Local flow and temperature indication is provided outside containment for service water flow to each cooling unit. Abnormal flow alarms are provided in the Control Room.

i III. STATUS OF CORROSION IN SERVICE WATER SYSTEM AT INDIAN POINT UNIT NO. 3 During the early operating experience of Indian Point Unit No. 3, certain corrosion mechanisms were identified in the containment fan cooler system. As a result, the Power Authority conducted a materials l compatability study for the containment fan cooling coils. Based upon the findings of the study it was decided to change the materials used in the containment fan coolers.

l The original material used for the Containment Fan Coolers was a cupronickel alloy called 90/10CuNi (90%

copper, 10% nickel). Due to several factors, including low flow and silt conditions, anaerobic bacteria were l

i able to thrive in the Cooler Units and cause a pitting type of corrosion. Research began on how to guard against this type of corrosion. The result was a decision to rid the system of copper.

The new fan cooler units and associated piping are now manufactured from a Nickel alloy--904L (23-28%

Nickel, 19-23% Chromium, 4-5% Molybdenum). The Power Authority believes that these material changes elim-inate any further corrosion problems from brackish water inside containment.

IV. MODIFICATIONS MADE AT INDIAN POINT UNIT NO. 3 In addition to the above-mentioned equipment changes, the following modifications were all installed in 1980, and are designed to improve the ability to i

detect water leakage inside the containment.

Reactor Pit Water Level Alarm This modification consisted of the installa-l tion of level switches at the Reactor Pit to provide two (2) water level alarms in the

( Control Room. The first alarm point is activated when the water level reaches 2.5",

and the second at 6".

- Containment Sump Overflow Indication This modification consisted of the installa-

[ tion of a level sensor at the containment sump to provide an alarm in the Control Room of containment sump overfic r.

Replacement of Reactor Cavity Sump Pumps The purpose of this modification was to replace the existing two Reactor Cavity Sump Pumps with pumps of improved reliability.

SUMMARY

As detailed in the above testimony, there exist no j current safety concerns with regard to the use of Hudson River water for cooling purposes.

Mr. Fleisher, in his testimony, has stated that a closed loop cooling system could use high purity water and no chemical additives would be required. This is not the case because without proper additives there would be no significant difference between the l untreated high purity water and brackish water as far as corrosivity to materials is concerned.

The Power Authority believes that this testimony, in conjunction with the testimony presented on Board Question 2.2.1, provides the Board with sufficient and adequate information such that the Board may recommend to the Commission that the current use of Hudson River l .
