ANSWER: Not applicabic.

8.

("EQR") for Limerick.

to ecch such component or part, (a) describe in detail the component or parts and their exact location at the Limerick Generating Station; (b) identify the manufacturer, if known; (c) identify whether the component or part is asserted to be 1

within the category "important to safety" because of its 3

inclusion within 10 C.F.R.

S50.49b (1) (2) or (3), describing in detail the reason for classification in one or more of these categories; (d) describe in detail the alleged "impor-tant to safety" function which the component or part will perform; (e) state the basis which the intervenor used in concluding that another

system, component or

part, or combination thereof, which is being qualified or which is not within a harsh environment cannot perform the function instead of the subject part or component; (f) state the basis, if any, upon which intervenor asserts that environ-mental qualification of such component or part will not or could not be performed prior to fuel loading for Limerick Unit 1 or 2,

as appropriate; (d) the exact event or events for which intervenor asserts that the equipment must - be qualified, the time or times after the initiation of the most critical event during which the part or component is asserted to be necessary to operate, and the exact environ-mental conditions which the component or part would experi-ence.

ANSWER: Intervenors position is that PECO has not complied with the new expended EQ rule, nor even attempted to conduct a thorough review of both safety-related and non-safety-related equipment to determine which equipment falls into category (b) (2) of the EQ Rule (10 CFR 50.49), since either might contain non safety related components, the failure of which could prevent the satisfactory accomplishment of safety functions.

LEA is unabic to provide a more detailed response until it receives answers to City Interrogatories on I-42 dated 2/3/84.

for such conclusion and stating when intervenor believes such part or equipment will be 35t qualified, giving the basis for such conclusion or estimate y

...a ANSWER: LEA is unable to respond to this Interrogatory without receiving Ap'plicant*s answers to City Interrogatories on I-42, dated 2/3/84 It is also possible that LEA will not be able to provide a throuogh answer to this question until it has had an opportunity to cross-exa-mine PECO's witnesses on this contention.

10.

With regard to each of the following parts, compo-nents, or systems which intervenor alleges should be includ-ed in the equipment qualification

program, (1) feedwater control; (2) emergency lighting and communications systems; (3) plant process computer system; (4) computer scftware:

(a) identify the exact systems, part or component involved, with reference to the description contained in the FSAR or P&I.D.'s, if possible; (b) identify the location or lo-cations of the systems, parts or components at the Limerick Generating Station; (c) identify the conditions, e.g.

LOCA or HELB; which intervenor asserts require that these systems be qualified; (d) identify the operations that such equip-ment would have to perform for such conditions and the time frame in which these actions are required; (e) identify the harsh environment that such equipment, part or component would experience; (f) state intervenor's understanding of systems, equipment, parts or components which can perform functions equivalent to those identified above and which are either being qualified or are not located in a harsh en-

12.

("EQRR") has not been provided in Applicant's Environmental Qualification Report for Limerick, (a) specify each part or a

component allegedly omitted; (b) identify the exact location of such component or part; (c) identify the manufacturer, if known; (d) state the basis upon which intervenor relies to assert that such part or component should have been included in en EQRR.

ANSWER: LEA cannot respond until it is provided with answers to City Interrogatories on I-42, dated 2/3/84. Further-more. LEA's concerns relate to the scope of search made by the Applicant to determine (b) ( 2) "important-to safety" equipment. LEA believes that it is the Appli-cant's responsibility to make a showing that its EQ pro-gram meets the new requirements of the 1/31/83 new EQ Rule.

13.

As to each part or component for which intervenor asserts that the EQRR specifies a qualified life of less than 40

years, (a) specify the part or component; (b) identify the manu.facturer, if known; (c) the corrective action which intervenor asserts should be.taken by Applicant to correct the alleged deficiency, the basis upon which the' means for identification of such items by Applicant as discussed on page 8.2 of the Environmental Qualification Report is insufficient to meet NRC requirements.

ANSWER: LEA's position is that no action is identified to correct noted deficiencies where life of qualified equipment does not equal the 40 year plant life.

(See EQRRs, pp. 8,32-35) LEA intends to cross-exa-mine Applicant's witnesses to determine whether or not NRC requirements have been satisfied.
