FACILITY: Seabrook Station, Unit 1 and 2

SUBJECT:

MEETING

SUMMARY

A meeting with the New Hampshire Yankee Division (NHY) of PSNH was held on December 16-20, inclusive at the Seabrook Station to discuss input for the Proof and Review version of the Seabrook Station Technical Specifications scheduled for issuance in February 1986. An orientation tour of the facility was completed on December 16, 1985. Discussions were completed on Sections 1 and 2 and 3/4.1.0 through 3/4.5, 3/4.7, 3/4.8 and 3/4.12. It was agreed that future meetings, if needed, to discuss the remaining sections -(3/4.6, 3/4.9, 3/4.10, 3/4.11, 5 and 6) need not be held at the Seabrook Station.

Within the sections that were discussed, resolutions of several issues are dependent upon completion of further study and analysis by the applicant and/or further clarification by the staff. The more significant issues are as follows:

1. Auxiliary Feedwater System The Auxiliary Feedwater system includes two Emergency Feedwater Pumps and one Startup Feedwater Pump. Although the applicant agreed that operability of the Startup Pump would be necessary, his initial proposal was that a s'eparate Technical Specification be provided for the Startup Pump'. He will advise the staff of his final recomendation.

2. Condensate Storace Tank Enclosure Structure For postulated failures of the condensate storage tank by tornado missiles, the enclosure structure retains the condensate water for delivery by the auxiliary feedwater pumps. In establishing a Technical Specification for initial water level in the tank, the applicant allowed for unavailability of the water leaked into the annulus between the tank and the enclosure structure, but did not allow for leakage from the enclosure structure. Durino the meeting it was determined that openings in the enclosure structure included at least piping penetrations. Although, the staff's SER did not identify a need for surveillance of the enclosure structure, it was agreed that there were potential leakage paths and that the applicant would conduct additional studies on the need for enclosure structure surveillance.

3. Alternate Source of Auxiliary Feedwater Condensate from -the hotwell is the only alternate source- of water for the auxiliary feedwater. The Standard Technical Specifications (STS) require that an alternate source (usually service water) be operable. Since the Seabrook design may be unique, staff clarification is needed.

4. ServiceWaterPuinos In the applicant's proposed Technical Specifications he had proposed that only two service water pumps be required to be OPERABLE. During the meeting he agreed that all four pumps (two 100% capacity pumps in each of two trains) should be OPERABLE. Because* that operability is assured by onsite power surveillances (surveillance of load sequencing) he proposed that the-18 month. start surveillance in the service water Technical Specification constituted duplication' of a surveillance and should be eliminated. In the Seabrook design, the pumps do not receive any other start-signal'(e.g., an SI signal) +

as appears to be postulated in the STS.

5. Control Room Filter System In the Seabrook design, intake filters are separated by about 800 feet to assure uncontaminated makeup to the control room from at least one of the two intake lines. SER Section 6.5.1.2 states that the Seabrook contro room filter system is no longer considered, as ESF-grade systems. Section 9.4.1 states that the control. room area ventilation system is an engineered safety' feature and although it describes the emergency air cleaning filter subsystem as SeismictCategory I, Quality Group C', it does not specifically states that the filter subsystem is an engineered safety system. D O ing the meetino the applicant's position was that the STS in this area are not applicable to Seabrook. Further staff clarification is needed prior to a decision to retain or delete the control room filter subsystem t'echnical specification.

6. Ultimate Heat Sink Coolino Tower The applicar,t proposed that a tower basin temperature of 90'F was

.the minimum' temperature necessary. However, the ~ staff's reviev '

indicated that'90 F is the temperature of the basin water after a heatup period with an initial water temperature of 70 F. The applicant indicated that a reanalysis is nearing completior, and

,that results will be forwarded to the staff.

7. Pressurizer Heaters 1 The STS OPERABILITY requirement is that any two of several pressurizer heaters be capable of being transferred to an.

.h t _

emergency bus. In the Seabrook design two of six heaters are permanently connected to an emeroency bus while the other heaters cannot be connected to an emergency bus. The applicant's position is that its improved design would be unduly penalized if the two heaters required to be operable are limited to those permanencly connected to an emergency bus. The staff agreed to reassess the basic Standard Technical Specification requirement for pressurizer heaters as it applies to the Seabrook design.

8. DC Sources In the staff's proposed Technical Specifications only a 2-hour ACTION time is provided for restoring an associated charger to an

.0PERABLE status. The applicant proposes to allow continuing plant

' operation if the battery without the charger continues to satisfy -

-the batter surveillance requirements. Further staff review of the

, applicant's proposal is necessary.

9. ' Containment Enclosure Emergency Exhaust and Coolina System

., The' STS includes a specification for the Shield Building Air Cleanup System and a specification for the ECCS Pump Room Exhaust Air Cleaning System.- The applicant proposed to eliminate the latter because the Containment Enclosure Emergency Exhaust and Cooling System also filters air flowing from the ECCS Pump Room Exhaust. The staff agreed in principle to the use of a sinale specification and the applicant agreed

.to recomend appropriate modifications, e.g. , a separate vacuum specification-for each area.
