Beaver Valley Power Station - Unit No. 2 Docket No. 50-412 Revised Response to Draf t SER Outstanding Issue 59 (SWS Isolation on Low Header Pressure)

Gentlemen:

Duquesne Ligh:. Company (DLC) s ubmitted information on this issue in letters 2NRC-4-086 of June 20, 1984, and 2NRC-4-141 of September 11, 1984.

Subsequent review of this information by your staf f has indicated that DLC port ion of the Service Water incorrectly described the design basis of a System isolation valve control circuits.

This was due in part to the dual f unct ion of these valves.

The attached revised position is submitted to correct and clarify the information contained in the earlier submittals.

Revise *d' Position on Outstanding Issue 59 of the Beaver Valley Power Station Unit No. 2 Draft Safety Evaluation Report The service water system isolation valves = to the turbine plant component 1

cooling water heat exchangers (2SWS*MOV107A' through D) perform the safety

. function of isolating the safety related portion of the service water system from the non-safety portion in the event of a " CIA" signal. - This portion of the circuitry is designed to IEEE-STD-279-1971_(IEEE-279).

The valves also isolate the safety related portion of the service water. system from the non-safety portion in the event of a. service water low pressure signal.

This-portion f of the circuit does not conform entirely to - IEEE-279 in that-the guidance of. Sections 4.10 (see FSAR Section 7.1.2.4 ), 4.17,' 4.19, and 4.20 are not met.

Since this additional function (low pressure isolation) is not

-a signal "....that cetuate(s) reactor trip..." or a signal "... that,. in the event of a serious reactor accident,. actuate (s) engineered safeguards such as -

co'ntainment isolation...", conformance with' IEEE-279 is not considered ~ to be required.

This portion of - the circuit does, however,-conform with IEEE-279 in areas other than those listed above,
