Subject:

McGuire Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2 Docket Nos. 50-369 and 50-370 Supplemental Response #2 Ref: Generic Letter 89-13 This is the second Sbpplemsntal Hesponse to NRC Generic Letu 89-13, Service Water System Problems Atlectino Safety-Rs!ated Equipment. The first supplemental response dated November 19, 1990, provided a schedule for completing modifications required to flush infrequently used cooling soops, as specified by Action I of the Generic Letter.

This Supplement updates the schedule provided in 'he first Supplement and addresses the tet'owing elements.

MODIFICATIONS TO ALLOW FLUSHING ASSURED MAKE-UP PIPING Component Cooling Water system modifications have been delayed di:c to changing the design l

scope. The scope has been increased to include additional equipment that would provide confirmation of Design flow capability. Also, modification changes would fulfill recently identified IWV testing requirements associated with check valves a the assured make-up lines to the Component Cooling L

system.

Spent Fuel Pool Cooling system modifications have also been delayed due to changing the design scope. The scope has been increased to include additional equipment that would provide confirmation of Design flow cape.bility.

Docu, ment Cbntrol Desk May 13,1992 Page 2 Auxiliary Feedwater system and Diesel Generator Engine Cooling system modifications have been canceled. Recent internal piping inspections confirmed earlier inspection findings. Those inst cctions i

did not reveal sedimentation or macro-fouling present in these sections of piping. In sodition, a review of piping configuration and service conditions showed that these lines are nei prone to sediment buildup.Therefore, modifications to allow flushing these system's assured make-up lines will not be implemented. However, these lines will continue to be inspected on a periodic basis.

l Following is the revised schedule for the modifications to the assured make-up for the above systems.

These modifications will be installed while the units are on-line.

11 BIOCIDE ADDITION PROGRAM The low dissolved oxygen content of the source water for the McGuire intake discourages significant Asiatic clam accumulation. However, to address potential future biofouling problems, McGuire planned -

to assess biofouling control alternatives evaluated in the Catawba Nuclear Station study. At the time of our November 19,1990 supplemental response, the biocide addition program required by Action 11 of the Generic Letter was pending the results of a pilot progam at our Catawba plant. Inis status is unchanged at this time. The Catawba study has been unsucoessful due to discnarge limitations, and is pendir g a revised discharge permit. However the intake structure inspection program has been established and will pavide some indication of biotouling to the Nuclear Service Water system.

- 111 PIPING INSPECTION AND REPAIR PROGRAMS Established as desenbed in the letter to the NRC dated November 19,1990.

The Component Cooling system procedures have been reviewed for applicabiaty. One Emergency Procedure and One Abnorrnal Procedure will be revised to instruct the operator to isolate the Component Cooling side of the thermal barriers in the event of a thermal barrier isolation valve failure.

V PROCEDURES AND TRAINING Established as described in the letter to the NRC dated November 19,1990.
