  • C321-93-2090 Page 2 l-VIOLATION:

10 CFR 50.71(e) requires-that the Final Safety Analysis-Report (FSAR)-

i shall be updated periodically to assure that the information in the FSAR-l contains the latest material developed.

I i

Contrary to the above, design information related to a 1984 plant 1

modification of torus suction strainers for the core spray and containment spray systems was not included in the FSAR.

This is a severity level V violation (Supplement Vil).

i BESPONSE:

1 GPUN concurs with the violation as stated in that pursuant to 10 'CFR -

50.71(e)(3), the initial revision to the original Facility Description and' i

Safety Analysis Report (FDSAR) did not reflect._the 1984 modification' to the torus suction strainers.

1 The torus suction strainer modification was completed during the time-the first FSAR update was in progress and the change was inadvertently missed by our contractor.

It should be noted _that the original' FDSAR did not contain the current level of detailed design information. The first FSAR-l update included extraneous information from various sources such as the original Burns & Roe OCNGS Facility Description Manual.

The. level-of detail incorporated may have been excessive of what is normally required, j

The update / upgrade process which was identified in ;our December.1990

)

submittal letter, has significantly improved the accuracy of the FSAR._ In addition,. the current _ update process. provides continual improvement ~ inL that a ' general review of each section of the updated FSAR' by ~ cognizant _

j technical personnel is performed.

Reviews are not only.done as a result l

of modifications, but also all content Lis ~ expected to be; reviewed for accuracy.

In this case, unless the torus suction strainer modification i

package was reviewed against the updated FSAR description, or an actual-t walkdown was compared with the updated FSAR description, it is unlikely

[

this error would be discovered in subsequent-update reviews or via other initiatives such as during the preparation: of design basis documents.

This update process is not intended to be _a-verification program for all-design details; however, the process does capture the significant changes-that are implemented since the last update and is in accordance with 10

)

CFR 50.71(e)(2), (4).

We believe the process will also bring continued improvement in FSAR content.

The strainer information contained in Table. 6.3-3 of the-FSAR has been updated to reflect currentLstrainer design and will be included in Update-

8 scheduled for submittal in August.1993.
