U-0534 ILLINDIS POWER COMPANY r M40~82(08~25)~6 500 SOUTH 27TH STREET, DECATUR, ILLINOIS 62525 August 25, 1982 Mr. J. H. Williams, Project Manager Standardization and Projects Branch Division of Licensing U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555

Dear Mr. Williams:

Subject:

Clinton Power Station Containment Purge

Reference:

Letter, J. H. Williams to Harold Bernard dated July 26, 1982, " Meeting with Illinois Power Company on Containment Purge" The referenced letter summarized conclusions which were reached in our recent meeting with the Staff. The purpose of that meeting was to establish a basis for disposition of SER Outstanding Issue fl0A-Containment Purge.

With regard to the conclusions summarized in the referenced letter, we have the following comments:

1. Containment purge effects on radiation doses are significant factors of the total containment environment. In addition to radiation (ALARA), we also must consider humidity, oil vapors, temperature, odors, and other potentially significant factors which contribute to ovecall habitability of the containment.

Consequently, the Staff should consider these matters in for-mulating definitive purge criteria as data become available from Mark III plant operation.

2. Attached is a list of information which has been developed to anticipate containment entry requirements. This material is necessarily tentative until operating experience is available from Grand Gulf and Clinton.

As stated in the referenced letter, Illinois Power Company will con-sider the approach taken by Grand Gulf on Mark III containment purging (during normal plant operation). Therefore, we are evaluat-ing alternative designs for application to the Clinton Power Ctation.

Our preliminary evaluation should be complete by late September. We 3030 e208310308 020825

- Mr. J. H. Williams August 25, 1982 Page 2 suggest a meeting with the Staff thereafter to discuss possible q design modifications to the CPS containment Vent / Purge System.

We hope to have this issue closed out with the Staff by November 1, 1982, to support a timely design and equipment procurement schedule.

If you have any further comments in this regard, please bring them

to my attention at your earliest convenience.

Sincerely,

Containment Normal Occupancy Levels Illinois Power Co. (IPC) has performed a preliminary evaluation of the occupancy levels necessary to conduct routine maintenance, surveillance, and operational checks of vital equipment inside the Clinton Power Station (CPS) Mark III containment. This evaluation was performed as part of IPC's effort to resolve Outstanding Issue

  1. 10A of the CPS Safety Evaluation Report (SER), NUREG-0853, Sup-l plement No. 1. The evaluation was prepared by comparing CPS anti-l cipated containment entry requirements with the occupancy levels discussed in General Electric's Mark III Containment Dose Reduction Study" (GE Document 22A5718, dated Dec. 5, 1977).

The CPS Containment Occupancy Levels during normal plant operations were discussed at the July 20, 1982 meeting in Bethesda, Maryland, between IPC and the NRC. Since that meeting, discussions with General Electric and CPS plant staff have resulted in a re-evaluation of the applicability of the GE study to CPS. The results of this reevaluation indicate that occupancy requirements stated in Table 4-7 of the GE study are the best estimates avail-able for MK III containments at this time. The attached Table 1 (page 1) shows those work stations where maintenance / surveillance activities will be performed during normal operations at CPS. The column labeled " Total" shows the numbers taken from Table 4-7 of the GE study. These containment entry requirements arc indicative of activities to be performed during operational Modes 1, 2, and 3 I

and as such are maximum expected yearly occupancies. Also attached as pages 2-12 is a description of what activities will be performed during Modes 1, 2, & 3 at each equipment location and a breakdown of the number of hours for each such activity.
