Subject:
Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant Units Nos.1 & 2; Dockets Nos. 50-317 and 50-318 NUREG-0737, Action Item II.F.1, Noble Gas Steam Effluent Monitor
Reference:
Letter from A. E. Lundvall, Jr. to R. A. Clark dated 10/12/82 Gentlemen:
In the referenced letter we informed you that we had been experiencing difficulties in acceptably demonstrating the reliability of the noble gas steam effluent monitor. We stated, however, that sufficient progress in acceptability testing was being demonstrated by the vendor (Kaman Instrumentation Corporation) to give some confidence that the equipment could be shipped from the factory by December 1982.
Based on expected delivery to the plant in that time frame, we stated that installation and testing could be completed by June 1,1983.
The purpose of this letter is to provide you with early notification that serious qualification deficiencies (environmental and seismic) have recently been identified during the vendor's qualification testing program.
The severity of these deficiencies is such that installation of an operable system at Calvert Cliffs by June 1 is highly improbable.
The corrective actions that will be required to resolve these qualification deficiencies are likely to involve significant redesign of system components. Without a more detailed knowledge of the nature of the deficiencies or the time and effort that will be required to resolve them, we cannot provide a revised date for installation of an operable system at this time.
We expect to receive a report from the vendor in late March evaluating the results of the testing program and providing the basis for a revised installation schedule. We understand from recent discussions with our NRC Project Manager that compliance with Action Item II.F.1 should be demonstrated no later than March 1,1984.
Consequently, you should use March 1,1984 as our new compliance date for Item II.F.1 in whatever regulatory actions are planned for the near term. We will, of course, make every reasonable effort to resolve our vendor difficulties and to accomplish the satisfactory installation of a reliable radiation monitor per the requirements of Action Item II.F.1 as soon as possible.
