Open Item Response (SRP 9.5.8; Power Systems Branch)

Dear Sir:

In response to an open item regarding the design of the Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) exhaust piping, the following commitments are provided:

1.

During the monthly periodic or operational verification testing of the diesel, and following an extended (greater than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />) l operation of the diesel, the flanged joints on the Diesel Exhaust i

System will be visually inspected for leakage.

2.

Following the first five years of operation, but prior to ten years of operation, an inspection program, using appropriate techniques (i.e., visual, UT, RT, or other form of NDE), will be performed.

This program will verify that the observed loss of wall thickness will not occur within the 40-year design lifetime of the system.

Subsequent inspections, if required, will be scheduled based on the results of the first inspection and the predicted continued loss of wall thickness. Because of the identical use of components and operating conditions, the inspection program only needs to be i

performed on one EDG Exhaust System and will initially be limited to only the area of highest potential corrosion and erosion. This area l

is considered to be the exhaust silencer outlet elbow.

The above commitments will be included in OL Application Amendment 48.

Very truly youcs, 8302020152 830131 DR ADOCK 05000443
