Subject:

Crystal River Unit 3 Docket No. 50-302 Operating License No. DPR-72 NUREG-0737, Item II.E.1.2 Emergency Feedwater System Upgrade

Dear Mr. Stolz:

By letter dated September 16, 1981, Florida Power Corporation responded to your request of January 28, 1981, for additional reliability informa-tion relating to the upgrade of the Emergency Feedwater (EFW) System at Crystal River Unit 3.

The response to Comment 22 quoted the July 5, 1974 "Sa fety Evaluation by the Directorate of Licensing U.S.

Atomic Energy Commission in the Matter of Florida Power Corporation Crystal River Unit 3 Docket No. 50-302." The SER stated:

"The condensate storage tank in conjunction wit) the auxiliary feedwater system has been designed to provide a seismic Category I auxiliary feedwater source to the steam generators for required heat removal from the reactor coolant system during the loss of of f-si te power conditions.

The outdoor storage tank has been designed to se:ismic Category I requirements.

In addition, this tank can withstand the effects of design level tornadic wind forces and associated missiles so that a minimum of 112,000 gallons of condensate will be available for removal of the reactor coolant system heat to achieve a safe shutdown condition."

Mr. John F. Stolz October 19, 1981 Page 2 Since the response was submitted to you, it has come to our attention that the SER appears to be inconsistent with FPC's commitment for the design of the Condensate Storaga Tank (CST).

The Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) Amendment 40 cc. rectly states "Both pumps, turbine and motor and the condensate stcrage tank are designed to Seismic Category Class I standards".

The d:: sign basis of the CST does not include being able to withstand tornadic wind forces and associated missiles.

Should you have any questions concerning this inconsistency, please con-tact this office.

Very truly yours, d-William A. Cross Manager Nuclear Licensing Corces(10/19)C5-3
