ATTACHMENT 1 OCTOBER 15, 1993 TELECONFERENCE QUESTIONS CONCERNING LICENSE CHANGE REQUEST 92-06, SAFETY RELIEF VALVE I
TESTING REQUIREMENTS HOPE CREEK GENERATING' STATION NLR-N93185 FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NPF-57 DOCKET NO. 50-354 NRC OUESTION 1:
What is the basis for believing that removal of the first stage and reassembly with a refurbished first stage does not affect valve performance, thereby making complete post-maintenance testing of the valve assembly unnecessary?
PSE&G RESPONSE:
The pilot stage assembly contains the pilot spring assembly.
Preload force on the pilot spring assembly transmits force to the pilot disk assembly, thereby establishing the set-point.
The set-point and blowdown adjustments are made at the pilot assembly.
PSE&G's experience with SRV failures (see response to Question 4) has indicated that all of the as-found testing failures were the result of pilot stage set-point failure.
The main stage consists of a main disc / piston assembly and calibrated spring.
The SRV set-point is not established or affected by the main disc / piston assembly.
This stage of the SRV will be tested to confirm blowdown rate, reinstalled or replaced with spares that have been previously tested and stored in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations at least once every five years.
HRC OUESTION 2:
What actions are planned with the removed first stage; specifically, 1) is as-found testing of the first stage planned or is as-left testing of the refurbished first stage going to be performed, 2) if as-found testing is not to be done, how is the intent of OM-1 being met, and 3) if as-found testing is being done, what sample expansion plan is going to be followed?
PSE6G RESPONSE:
As-found testing of the first stage will be performed in addition to as-left testing.
As a result of the as-found testing being performed, the intent of OM-1 will be met.
The sample expansion s
plan will be conducted according to ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code,Section XI, IWV-3513, 1983 edition.

,i NRC OUESTION 3:
Does the language of the proposed alternate testing with respect to the main (mechanical) portion mean that the entire assembly is set-point tested every five years?
PSE&G RESPONSE:
Yes, the entire assembly will be set-point tested every five years.
NRC OUESTION 4:
Could you please provide data from the last 3 refueling outages on set-point testing, including any failures?
PSE&G RESPONSE:
The following table provides information from refueling outages 2,
3, and 4:
