Current methods of testing have used high levels of radiation over short periods of time which underestimates the effects of the total dose, which in the typical real situation would be applied in low levels over long periods of time. NUREG/CR-2157. "Occurance and Implications of Radiation Dose-Rate Effects for Material Aging Studies", June 18, 1981. The effects of synergisms referred to by Dr. Clough involve the exposure of equipment to radiation and heat. The greatest degradation was found when exposure to heat was followed by exposure to redietion which is the most'likely accident scenario.

Note from S.H. Hanauer, NRC Assistant Director for Plant Systems, Divisison of Systems Safety, April 6, 1979. Such thinking was reiterated by Robert Pollard, Nuclear Safety Engineer of the Union of Concerned Scientists: I think it is clear that what is needed is essentially a reassessment of the environmentel qualification of safety related equipment in light of the Lessons Learned from the accident. Special Prehearing Conference, Three Mile Island-1 Restart Hearing, Docket No. 50-289, November 8, 1979, TR at 236. Applicant has not met the criteria of Regulatory Guide Nos. 1.70 and 1.89 (or en acceptable alternative) end IE Bulletin 79-01B in failing to provide the required information for each item of safety-related equipment. For example, the exact location of each item is necessary to determine the environmental conditions which may impact upon it, such as flooding. FSAR Tables 3.11.1 and 3.11.2 do not provide complete information on this matter. See Letter to G.W. Kinghton, Chief, Licensing Branch 3, NRC from G.D. Bouchey,WPPSS, January 17, 1983, Attachment 1 (Question No.100.2, Response) and 1, Enclosure 4 (Item 1). Much of the equipment and components important to

Examples of such equipment includeilNAMCO limit Switches, Diesel 1- ~ _2 Generator Control Panel,' containment isolation and safety.~ injection systems. FSAR. Tables 3.1.1. and 3.11.2. e _ u z;..: CESP 4 V"? ~ ' ~ ' Petitioner contends that the CESSAR design utilized at WNP-3 is inadequate to provide rapid depressurization, decay heat removal and the capability for natural circulation and thus violates the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix A, General Design Criteria 34, 35, 38 and 44 and the provisions of NUREG-0737. Natural circulation is considered to be the normal means of providing core cooling when all reactor pumps are inoperative, and thus will be relied upon by Applicant to meet the requirements for decay heat remeval. With main feedwater-assumed to be inoperative, natural circulation depends upon the operability of the emergency feedwater system. To meet applicable criteria, Applicant must show that reliance on the emergency feedwater system (EFS) is Justified, based on (1) whether or not the EFS is fully safety-grade ar;d (2) what the consequences of, steam voiding (steam bubbles in primary system high points) would be. Applicant cannot place reliance on emergency feedwater at WNP-3 because this systen is not safety grade. Reactor coolant pumps cannot be relied upon to remove the steam bubbles because this system is not safety grade and thu~s fails to satisfy the requirements of GDC 34 and 35. Additionally, Applicant has not committed to other improvements such as upgrading the emergency diesel generator and High Pressure In3ection systems, as proposed

The AFW unavailability analysis for WNP-3 provided by Applicant does not meet the recommendations of NUREC-3611 and NUREG-0635. Letter to G.W. Knighton, NRC from G.D. Bouchey, WPPSS, April 20, 1983. Applicant has not provided an AFW flow analysis as required by NUREG-0737 (II.K.2.19). See FSAR Table j 1.8.2. The AFW system is not environmentally qualified. FSAR Table 3.11-2. Endurance tests have not been. performed on all AFW system pumps. Letter from G.W. Knighton, NRC to WPPSS, June 1, 1983 at 640.7. The C-E primary system is similar to that of the Babcock and Wilcox design used at Three Mile Island No. 2. In the C-E design, however, if emergency cooling and depressurization are required, instead of the use of pilot-operated relief valves (PORVs), water is drawn from the cold leg loop and sprayed into the pressurizer. If the reactor coolant ptimps necessary for this operat' ion are not available, an auxiliary spray system must be used. Such a system is not fully safety-grade at WNP-3. Thus the requirements of GDC 38 are not met at WNP-3. The installation of fully safety-grade PORVs should be required

v., c,- r, gg, a-- y,, 3 .-.. v... Applicant has not shown that'the reliability of the WNP-3 EFS negates the need for a backup system. In the C-E design there is no capability for core cooling via high pressure insection or so-called " feed-and-bleed" if feedwater is absent. Inside NRC, April 18, 1983 at 8.

Thus, WNP-3 is vulnerable to loss-of-all-feedwater accidents, failure of the high pressure in]ection system, loss of offsite power necessitating reliance on the motor-driven auxiliary-feedwater pumps (requires only a diesel failure to remove from service)'or a very small loss of coolant accident.

Inside'NRC, April 5, 1982 et 11. Applicant has not committed to upgrading any of these vulnerable systeg.s. The NRC has suggested that the answer lies in installation of FORVs to allow for " feed-and-bleed" capability. Inside NRC, April 18, 1983 at 8. Such feed-and-bleed will not work to provide for decay heat removal; it is a theoretical method of cooling which has been shown not to be effective by the Semiscale tests S-SR-1 and S-SR-2.

POKVs chould be fully safety grade as they are the sole method of providing aganist overpressurization when the plant is cold and because they are a part of the reactor coolant pressure boundry.

In the event of multiple failures of the steam generator tubes, it is essential to isolate the steam generators to decrease offsite radiation doses thereby removing them from service for decay heat removal. koreover, the steam generators as-built at WNP-3 are of questionable quality.~ NRC inspections revealed document discrepancies related to welding of supports, exterior damage, and possible weld shrinkage. Inspection Reports 81-12, 81-14, 82-02. The base plate upon which the No. 2 steam generator rests was found to have been inadequately documented to suuport a finding that the surface finish was adequate. Upon Applicant's inability to Justify the finish, the plates were replaced; subsequent analysis indicated that the plates as installed would have affected the safety of the plant.' Inspection Report 81-17 at 2. CEEE_2 Petitioner contends that methods proposed by Applicant to meet the requirements for instrumentation for detection of inadequate core cooling (ICC), NUREG-0737, NUREG 0578 and GDC 13 of Part 50 to 10 CFR are inadequate. 1

Applicant has not shown that ICC instrumentation proposed for WNP-3, which includes a subcooled margin monitor, a vessel water level monitor and the use of in-plant instrumentation, will meet the requirenents of Reg. Guide 1.89 or an accepteble alternative. In particular, tecting for C-E plants wh ch hac been completed has shown that when reactor coolant pumps are on, existing methods of measurement and proposed designs such as the HJ1C Cheated 3 unction and unheated thermocouples in the water level mescurement system) ere not. accurate I indicaters of vessel level and core coverage.

Fai' lure of the diesel generators should be considered a l design basis accident; the existing design of WNP-3 does not j meet the requirements of GDC 17 of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A.

81-17 at.-9, 10 and 83-01 at 2. NRC inspection of WNP-3 will be limited in scope during the preservation state. The NRC inspections done on WNP-5 after it was " mothballed" were limited primarily to verification of inert atmosphere in heavy equipment and some weather proofing. NRC inspections were short and infrequent. While ellegedly seeking to ensure that the syster.s most important to safety were preserved, inspectors ignored other areas which would be of importence in e plent under construction.

Applicent's construction of UNP-3 has reveeled the systematic leck of manegenent responsibility required by Section I of Appendix 3 to 1C CFR Part 50.

Thus, the actual deferrel of WNP-3 will have a correspondingly poor-effect on its technical support.

According to the NRC, many of the welding probier.s experienced et WNP-3 were directly attributable to newer welders.
