I Action 2: Confirmation of Operability LaSalle Units 1 & 2 4

Test Evaluation for LST 95-083, Rev. O, Entitled 'ECCS Suction Strainer Test'.

Performed on LaSalle Unit 1 on January 4,1996.

Performed on LaSalle Unit 2 on January 5,1996.

A multiple ECCS pump test was performed in order to confirm the operability of the ECCS Suction Strainers. LST-95-083,"ECCS Suction Strainer Test," was performed j

by simultaneously running the 'A' RHR and LPCS pumps in the pool-to-pool i

align==t Temporary pressure gauges, with a calibrated accuracy of 0.3 psi, were

~

installed on the suction legs of each pump.

The complete test was performed with satisfactory results. The pumps were run at a combined continuous flow of 13550 gpm for greater than 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />. The actual number of pool inventory turnovers was calculated to be greater than 6.5 (4 minimum). The hourly pump suction pressure, trended over the entire test duration, did not decrease from the first steady-state set of readings taken after the pump was started. The suction pressure data indicates that there is no increasing flow resistance at the suction i

1 strainers, and there was no change in pump flow rates over the duration of the test.

These tests are deemed satisfactory.
