20555 Electrical Separation in NSSS Panels Shoreham Nuclear Power Station - Unit 1 Docket No. 50-322

Reference:

Letter SNRC-823 dated 1/21/S3

Dear Mr. Denton:

In the reference letter, LILCO advised that they were utilizing three options to' resolve the issue of separation of class lE and non-class lE circuits within the NSSS Panels.

The purpose of this letter is to further address and resolve NRC verbal questions regarding those circuits for which LILCO has chosen to utilize option number 2 as detailed in the reference letter.

This option involves the installation of redundant circuit protection for non-lE circuits which are in close promimity to Class lE (essential) circuits in the NSSS panels.

The following criteria will be applied:

In those circuits where redundant protective devices are utilized, they will be appropriately sized and located so that the worst fault condition postulated would not prevent the proper functioning of Class lE (essential) circuits.

The worst case condition L

postulated encompasses the following:

l 1)

Open Circuit l

.2)

Short Circuit l

3)

Transients and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)

The analyses assume the application of the maximum credible I

fault, voltage line-to-line, and line-to-ground. Short circuits will be cleared by either the primary or the redundant backup 8304120363 830407 PDR ADOCK 05000322 A

.In theory, fault currents generated prior to clearing-byEfuse or circuit breaker could induce EMI in adjacent Class lE circuits.

An evaluation of the worst case circuit assuming perfect coupling between a parallel pair of conductors.(faulted non-Class lE.to Class lE wiring) reveals a negligible induced voltage.on-the Class lE circuit.

The information furnished herein should be sufficient to alleviate any remaining staff concerns on this issue.

Should' you have any questions please contact this office.-
