SUMMARY

OF MEETING HELD ON JULY 29, 1993, TO DISCUSS GL 90-06 RESPONSE (TAC NO. M77346)

On July 29, 1993, NRC staff members met at Rockville, Maryland, with employees of Toledo Edison Company (TE) to discuss TE's response to Generic Letter (GL) 90-06 regarding Technical Specifications (TS) for the power-operated relief valve (PORV). A list of attendees is included as enclosure I. The handout used at the meeting is included as enclosure 2.

During the discussion, the NRC staff stated and TE agreed that the overall use of PORVs is not restricted to design basis events. The majority of the discussion was focused on feed and bleed cooling, and on GL 90-06, Item 3.1.3 action statements. The NRC staff questioned TE regarding the possible hardship of specifying power to the PORV block valve in the TS. Also, the staff stated that it would consider a greater amount of time (for example, 24 or 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />) for Davis-Besse to deal with an inoperable PORV due to causes other than excessive seat leakage or to deal with an inoperable block valve, based on their design. Finally, the NRC staff stated that it desired to close this issue expeditiously and would be prepared to promptly hold a management meeting, if necessary. TE stated that they would consider the NRC staff comments and get back verbally to the staff within one week.
