Mr. Robert A. Clark, Chief Operating Reactors Branch #3 Division of Licensing

Subject:

Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant Units Nos.1 & 2; Dockets Nos. 50-317 and 50-318 Clarification of Response to NUREG-0737, Item II.K.3.25 Effect of Loss of Alternating Current on Pump Seals

Reference:

Letter from A. E. Lundvall, Jr. to R. A. Clark (NRC), dated July 22, 1982 (same subject)

Gentlemen:

The purpose of this letter is to clarify a statement contained in the referenced letter:

"We have reviewed the CCW system valve alignment and have verified that cooling water can be delivered to the RCP seal coolers under any conditions that might conceivably accompany a loss of offsite power event; i.e., containment isolation."

Some confusion has arisen because several individuals have inferred from this that a containment isolation signal would not isolate component cooling water (CCW) to the reactor coolant pumps (RCP). We apologize for the ambiguity which permits this conclusion; however, this does not affect the conclusion in the referenced letter that the CCW system is capable of supplying cooling water to the RCP seal coolers in the event of a loss of offsite power. We therefore withdraw the offending paragraph and offer the following more precise statement:

"We have reviewed the CCW system valve alignment and have verified that cooling water can be delivered to the RCP seal coolers in the event of a loss of offsite power. In the extremely unlikely event of containment isolation concurrent with a loss of offsite power, CCW flow to the RCP seal coolers would be temporarily interrupted until the containment isolation signal (CIS) could be manually reset. In any case

/

the reactor coolant pumps would not be operational during a loss of OYO offsite power event, thereby greatly reducing the need for providing 1

CCW to the RCP seal coolers."
