SUBJECT:

SERVICE WATER-SYSTEM OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE INSPECTIONS 3

A number of problems have recently been identified with service water systems, therefore, the NRC has designated these systems as the next generic area of j

emphasis and will perform an in-death team inspection at most power reactor facilities.

The inspections will ae conducted in accordance with new guidance and will be referred to as service water system operational performance inspections (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. The inspections will include evaluations of the system design,_ its-operation, maintenance, and surveillance, and its past performance indicators.

The NRC has conducted pilot inspections at a number of facilities, including the South Texas Project in Region IV. These pilot inspections established the inspection criteria that will be utilized in the performance of future inspections.

i In order to accomplish the planned inspections, Region IV will form five-person inspection teams.

The teams will be composed-of Region IV personnel-and a' mechanical design engineering consultant. The inspections will include 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 the NRC inspectors and escorted access,-as necessary,- for:the consultant.

1 We are presently planning to conduct the preparatory site visit at the Waterford 3 facility during the week of_ March 15, 1993.

We would appreciate being made aware of any conflicts with.our ' proposed dates as soon as possible.

We will confirm this -schedule-several weeks prior to the start of the inspection and will _ request that specific-information be made available'upon-the team's arrival at the site.
