SUBJECT:

Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2 Response to NRC Generic Lc'ter 38-20 Supplement 4, " Individual Plant Examination of External Events (IPEEE) for Severe Accident Vulnerabilities'

Dear Sir:

NRC Generic Letter (GL) 88-20 Supplement 4, " Individual Plant Examination of Extemal Events (IPEEE) for Severe Accident Vulnerabilities,' dated June 28,1991, requested PECO Energy Company (PECO Energy) to perform an Individual Plant Examination of Extemal Events (IPEEE) of the Limerick Generating Station (LGS) and submit the results to the NRC pursuant to 10CFR50.54(f).

j Reference letter 1 committed PECO Energy to submitting a final report to the NRC by June 30, 1995. Accordingly, the LGS IPEEE Final Report is attached. The IPEEE was conducted in i

accordance with the objectives of GL 88-20 Supplement 4 and the guidance provided in NUREG-1407, " Procedural and Submittal Guidance for the indMdual Plant Examiration of External Events (IPEEE) for Severe Accident Vulnerabilities."

. Reference letters 2 and 3 were submitted in response to Generic Letter 9248, "Thermo-Lag 330-1 Fire Barriers," and included details of an integrated analysis program prepared in response to the Thermo-Lag issue. This integrated analysis program includes using the fire safe shutdown re-analysis completed as part of this IPEEE final report to minimize our reliance on Thermo-Lag to achieve safe shutdown. The integrated analysis program in response to GL 92-08, and the Thermo-Lag issue, will also use Irisights gained from this IPEEE final report to prioritize resolution of Thermo-Lag assemblies that remain after the fire safe shutdown re-analysis.

As a result of conducting the LGS IPEEE, PECO Energy identified seismic event and fire event findings. Equipment, structures, and systems at LGS are seismically very rugged; however, actions are being taken to address minor housekeeping and maintenance issues related to the seismic analysis such as unrestrained tools, lockers, hoist controllers and lifting devices for low voltage switchgear. Fire brigade drill activities and fire brigade awareness will te increased for 3 areas in the common control structure. Actinns credited in the fire analysis such as improved transient combustible controls, creation c

..nslent combustible free zones and formal designation of certain fire rated doors as 'tro" doors will be implemented at LGS.

Very truly yours,
