Gentlemen:

i SU3 JECT:

SERVICE WATER SYSTEM OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE INSPECTIONS A number of problems have recently been identified with service water systems, therefore, the NRC has designated th3se;uystems as the next generic area of emphasis and wil_1 perform an in-depth team inspection at most power reactor facilities. The-inspections wi;l be conducted in-accordance with new guidance.

i i

and will be referred to as service water system operationalL performance i_

inspect. ions (SWSOPIs).

It will be our intention to complete the: inspection process at all involved facilities within the_next 3 years..

The inspections'will evaluate the capability of-the service water system to-fulfill its thermal and hydraulic performance requirements. l The inspections i

will include evaluations of the system design, its operation,. maintenance, and surveillance, and its past performance indicators.

The NRC has conducted l

pilot' inspections at-a number of facilities, includino the South Texas Project in Region IV. These'pi'iot inspections established the inspection criteria that will be utilized in the performance of future inspections, In order to accomplish the planned inspections,. Region IV will form five-persoa inspection teams.

The teams will be_ composed of Region IV personnel i

and a mechanical design engineering consultant. The inspections will-include j.

a 4-day preparatory site visit and 2 weeks of onsite inspection.' Each of the onsite trips.will.-be separated by a one week review of the gathered' documentation.

It will: be our intent to have the normal authorized access-for-d the NRC inspectors and' escorted access, as necessary, for the consultant.

i

- We are presently planning to conduct the preparatory site visit at the_ Cooper Nuclear Station facility during the week of July 19, 1993.

We'would L

-appreciate being made awarc of any conflict; with our proposed dates as soon -

as possible. _ We will. confirm this' schedule _ several. weeks prior to the start 4

i.

of the inspection and will request that specific information be made.available upon the team's arrival at-the site.
