20545 TJRW POINT UNIT NO. 3 DOCKET hUEER 50-250 REINSPECTION OF SEISMIC RESTRAINTS ACCESSIBLE IURING POWER OPERATION
Dear Mr. DeYoung:
Reinspection of safety related seismic restraints that are accessibic during power operation was completed on November 28, 1973, in accordance with your letter of November 8,1973. Fourteen (14) restraints were inspected and all are of the Bergen-Patterson design.
The inspection showed that all of the restraints were operabic. However, tw restraints located on the min steam piping showed evidence of hydraulic fluid Icakage. While the fluid level was within the acceptable range, additional fluid was added to bring the level to the upper end of the range.
Surveillance of these restraints, subsequent to adding the fluid, shows that the fluid levels are holding satisfactorily with no indicated decrease in IcVels.
He radiation and temperature envi-crsent to which these restraints are exposed is very mild. Eight cf Gae restraints are located in the auxiliary building, in the nm bi the Residual int Removal (RIR) pumps and heat exchangers.
L radiation levels in this area result from activity within the RHR system and the highest levels occur during recirculation of reactor coolant for t
residual heat remval, no highest IcVel recorded for this area has been 40 mR/hr. During prolonged power operation, the levels decay to less than 1 mR/hr. The temperatures are usually in the range of 85F to 95F.
The remaining six restraints are located outdoors in the auxiliary feedwater pump area. The radiation environment at 75% power is less than 1 mR/hr and the temperature is that of the outside ambient air.
Sincerely yours, aAD A

REINSPECTION OF SEIS>lIC RESTRAINFS ACCESSIBLE DURING P0h'ER OPERATION
+'
Dear Mr. DeYoung:
f Reinspection of safety related seismic restraints that are accessible during power operation was completed on November 28, 1973, in accordance with your letter of November 8,1973.
Fourteen (14) restraints were inspected and all are of the Bergen-Patterson design.
l The inspection showed that all of the restraints were operable. However, two restralids located on the main steam' piping showed evidence of hydraulic fluid leakage. hhile the fluid level was within the acceptable range, additional fluid was added to bring the level to the upper end of the range.
Surveillance of these restraints, subsequent to adding the fluid, shows that the fluid levels are holding satisfactorily with no indicated decrease in levels.
/
/
The radiation and temperature environment to which these restraints are exposed is very mild. Eight of the restraints are located in the auxiliary building, in the area of the Residual Heat' Removal (RHR) pumps and heat exchangers.
The radiation levels in this area result from activity within the RHR system and the highest levels occur d6 ring recirculation of reactor coolant for residual heat removal. 'Ihe highest level recorded for this area has been During prolonged iower operation, the levels decay to less than 40 mR/hr.
l 1 mR/hr. The temperatures are usually in the range of 85F to 95F.

The remaining six restraints are located outdoors in the auxiliary feedwater pump area. The radiation / environment at 75'4 power is less than 1 mR/hr and the temperature is that
'f the outside ambient air.
