SUBJECT:

Status of the Post Accident Sampling System (PASS)

In Reference 2, Omaha Public Power District (0 PPD) committed to informing the NRC if sampling sequences of the PASS were not operable by the dates specified in that reference.

In Reference 3, OPPD provided the NRC detailc of problems encountered with the Post Accident Sampling System (PASS) sampling sequence for primary coolant dissolved gas quantity, and the expected completion date for the work that would rectify this problem.

While attempting to resolve the prchlem, complexities beyond those anticipated were encountered with respect to the ability to duplicate the final values.

As an example, the current sampling sequence allows the technician and chemist to make a number of assumptions which allow additional degrees of freedom in the process.

OPPD is requesting the architect / engineer and PASS supplier to review the design basis methods and current procedures used for the dissolved gas measurement.

In addition, the gas equations and sample sequences would be reviewed.

It is anticipated that these reviews would be accomplished by May 31, 1991. A verification testing phase would then be implemented with anticipated completion by July 31, 1991, at which time a full implementation schedule would be developed.
