The inspector reviewed the licensee's response to IE Bulletin 81-03 (Flow
Blockage of Cooling Water to Safety System Components by Corbicula Sp.
(Asiatic Clam) and Mytilus Sp. (Mussel)). Although no fouling has occurred
as a consequence of clam infestation, the licensee discovered Corbicula Sp.
(Clams) during preoperational testing of the Fire Protection Sy sten' in
August of 1978.
The licensee has implemented periodic monitoring of the
Nuclear Service Water System and performance tests are conducted monthly to
insure adequate flow to the Nuclear Service Water Pumps.
In view of the
absence of clans in the subiect system, no control measures have been
implemented to date. In the case of the Fire Protection System, chlorine is
periodically added to the system to maintain a chlorine residual lethal to
young (non shelled) clams. There were no questions regarding this item.
