I.D.l.
Tacting of Reector Vacc 71'Welda 1.
Identify PSNH's contractor for the preparation of Applicants' " Reactor Vessel Examination Plan."
2.
To what degree is Applicants' " Reactor-Vessel Examination Plan" completed and when will it be submitted to the NRC?
3.
Please-provide access to any drafts of the
" Reactor Vessel Examination Plan."
I.D.2.
Testing of Protection Systems and Actuation Devices 4.
Please complete the last sentence in Applicants' answer to NECNP Interrogatory I.D.2-8.
5.
The answer to NECNP Interrogatory I.D.2-1 is incomplete.
FSAR at 7.1.2.5 does not refer to the specific means by which Applicants determined that the probability that protections systems will fail without testing the equipment is acceptably low.
Describe all quantitative calculations of probability and identify in detail the parameters of all qualitative judgments on probability.
Provide access to all documents relied upon in reaching the judgments which are summarized in the FSAR.
I.D.4 Periodic Testing of Electric Power and Protection Systems 6.
Applicants' answer to NECNP Interrogatory I.D.4-16 is not responsive.
Chapter 7 of the FSAR, Section 7.2, dis-cusses the Reactor Trip system and does not discuss in detail redundancy within the safety systems and the design criteria for the systems.
Please describe how, if at all, there is sufficient redundancy within each safety system to provide redundancy even when degraded by a single random failure.
(4)
,r 7.
Id:ntify and daccribe any torta or ctudico.ct Seabrook on the interaction of safety functions and control functions.-
8.
Identify and describe Applicants' program for periodic testing of diesel generators.used for emergency electric power.
9.
Have Applicants done any probabalistic studies on the importance to safety of diesel generators?
If so, please identify them and describe their results.
10.
Have Applicants performed any analyses of the reliability of diesel generators at Seabrook?
If so, please describe the results and identify and provide access to all relevant documents, 11.
Have Applicants performed any analyses of the re-liability of diesel generators at Seabrook as it relates to the method and frequency of testing?
If so, please describe the results and identify and provide access to all relevant documents.
12.
Do Applicants meet all the requirements of IEEE#338-1977?
If the answer to this question is no, please explain the discrepancy between your answer and the Staff's answer to Interrogatory I.D.4.-l.
I.F.
Diesel Generatcr Qualification 13.
Do Applicants comply with IEEE 323-1974 in every respect?
a)
Identify any and all aspects of noncompliance, b)
For each instance of noncompliance, identify any alternative means by which Applicants intend to comply with i
l
(5).
tha rCquiremento of GDC 17.
14.
Describe the differences between IEEE 323-1974 and IEEE 387-1977.
a)
Do Applicants believe that compliance with-IEEE 387-1977 provides an equivalent assurance of safety as compliance with IEEE 323-1974?
State the reasons for your answer.
15.
In the answer to NECNP Interrogatories I.F.-l and I.F.-7, Applicants state that "The Seabrook Station meets the requirements of IEEE 323-1974."
Does the qualification of diesel generators in particular meet the requirements of IEEE 323-1974?
I.I.
Inadequate Provision of Achieving Cold Shutdown 16.
Applicants' answer to NECNP Interrogatory I.I-8 was not responsive.
NECNP asked Applicants to con-sider a situation in which the single safety grade path to cold shutdown which Applicants plan to identify cannot be used.
NECNP's interrogatory is consistent with NRC regulations, which require Applicants to consider a single failure of safety grade components to determine adequate accident response capability.
17.
Applicants' answer to NECNP Interrogatory I.I-23 was not responsive.
Applicants state that they comply 1
with NUREG-0588.
The question put to Applicants, however, was whether they have complied with all the provisions of IE Bullentin No.79-01B, 7ev.3.
Please answer the question.
(6) 18.
In answering NECNP Interrogatory I.B.1-16, the Staff states that the safety related steam generator power operated atmospheric relief valves are used to vent vaporized secondary coolant.
This action discharges secondary fluid directly to the atmosphere.
If steam generator tubes are leaking at this time, either due to a deteriorated condition prior to the accident or leakage developed during the accidnet, primary coolant containing radioactivity has a direct path to the atmosphere. Does the Seabrook design have any means to detect the discharge of such radio-activity and an appropriate method to isolate the correct steam generator?
I.L.
PORV Flow Detection Monitoring System 19.
Identify the location and function of all power-operated relief valves in the reactor coolant pressure boundary, including valves that provide isolation for the system.
20.
In answer to NECNP Interrogatory I.L-5, Applicants stated that acoustic accelerometers are not used to detect PORV flow.
In light of that statement, please answer the following questions:
a)
Explain the discrepancy between Applicants' answer and the FSAR at Table 1.3-2, sheet 4 and 55.2.2.8, which state that acoustic accelerometers are used.
b)
Explain the reasons for the change.
c)
Identify and provide access to any docun.cnts which reflect the change from acoustic accelerometers to other flow detection devices.
d)
Describe in detail the new flow detection devices.
(7) e)
Are these devices environmentally qualified?
II.B.
Quality Assurance for Operations 21.
Please list those individuals responsible for the implementation of the QA program at Seabrook.
a)
Provide the qualifications of each individual for implementation of the QA program.
b)
Describe the previous experience of each indivi-dual with former construction projects of PSNH and others.
22.
Please identify and provide access to:
a)
Applicants' Quality Assurance Program for operations.
b) all procedures for implementation of Applicants' Quality Assurance Program for Operations.
c)
Any and all programs for the review of Applicants' Quality Assurance Program for Operations.
Respectfully Submitted 2
