MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PIANT Docket No. 50-263 1.icense No. DPR-22 v 5

In-Plant Safety Relief Valve Test

~

The January 6,1976 General Electric letter from Mr Ivan F Stuart to Mr R S Boyd U S Nuclear Regulatory Commission described an In-Plant Safety / Relief Valve Test to be conducted as part of the long tem program for evaluation of Mark I containment systems.

Northern States Power Company has agreed to the perfomance of this test at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant.

Instrumentation essentially as described for purposes of this test has been installed at the Monticello Plant.

We now anticipate this test will be completed during the week of May 13. 1976.

In order to obtain meaningful in-fomation with relput co'the test Qjectives, the testing must be perfonaed under conditions wherein the pr(pure between drywell and torus is equalized.

Present test plans indicate that containment pre-ssure equalization will be required for approximately four days for the conduct of the test.

The pressure differential will be restored after completion of the test.

If the test sequence is interrupted for scheduled periods in excess of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, the differentint pressure will be restored during the interruption.

Our February 6,1976 letter to you provided the basis for continued Monticello operation with respect to results of *he short term program then availablel this letter briefly described certain structural modi-fications being considered.

Based on further infomation and evaluation, and in view of the longer interval required for implementation of structural improvements, Mark I owners met with you in Bethesda on February 26 to discuss operational measures which could be instituted promptly to enhance safety margins by reducing potential loads.

Mr Rusche's letter of February 27, 1976 summarized that meeting wherein Mark I onvers agreed to establish at least a one psi differential pressure between drywell and torus.

Our March 1,1976 letter to you confimed that NSP would establish and maintain this differential pressure at the Monticello Plant until other appropriate measures could be instituted.

9102130392 760510 g-PDR ADOCK 05000263 PDR p

ae NORTHERN OTAVED POWER COMPANY Mr Ytetor Ste1.lo

-2 May 10, 1976 1he structural modifications were discussed in further detaf f with your technical staf f on April 9,1976

'Ihese modifications and their evaluacion are represented in detail in the attachment to t.iis letter.

These modifications will be completed prior to equalizing the con-tainment pressure dif ferential for perfoming the s&fety relief valve test.

Information in the attachment shows that safety margins with the modi-fications installed and the dif ferential pressure removed for the con-duct of the test are actually enhanced in comparison to pre-existing conditions with dif ferential pressure prior to any modifications of the structu re.

Further, conditions under which the test is to be perfomed will provide safety margins conservatively within and con-sistent with the margins of safety discussed in Mr Rusche's letter of February 27, 1976.

In surinary, the test is currently scheduled for the week of May 23,19/6.

The structural modifications will be completed prior to perfoming the test.

Containment dif ferential pressure will be restored af ter completion of the test.

Yours very truly, h.

ATTACHMENT C

Our February 6,1976 letter stated that NSP had undertaken a course of action to " develop detailed engineering designs and determine the feasibility of installation of these designs for modifications to improve the structural elements of the torus support system that are subject to high loadings". We further stated that NSP was prepared to discuss this action plan at NRC convenience.

On April 9,1976 these modifications were discussed in a preliminary way with NRC Staf f personnel.

The attached documentation, consisting of drawings and tables, was presented in that discussion.

The modi-fications described by these documents are currently in progress with completion anticipated on er before May 21, 1976.

The table entitled " Summary-Downward Loading Phase", illustrates the substantial improvement in safety margins resulting from these modi-fications.

The ratios of load to ultimate capacity show that the modifications produce a 46% tmprovement in margins without drywell pressurization over the pre-existing condition with drywell pressuri-zation. A similar comparison for up-loads shows an improvement in margins in avcess of 100%

These modifications represent completion of the action plan discussed in our February 6,1976 letter.
