SUMMARY

OF CHANGES, TESTS, AND EXPERIMENTS l

FOR THE HOPE CREEK GENERATING STATION i40 NTH:

MAY 1997 l

The following items completed during April 1997 have been evaluated to determine:

1.

If the probability of occurrence or the consequences of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety I

previously evaluated in the safety analysis report may be increased; or 2.

If a possibility for an accident or malfunction of a different type than any evaluated previously in the safety analysis report may be created; or 3.

If the margin of cafety as defined in the basis for any technical specification is reduced.

The 10CFR50.59 Safety Evaluations showed that these items did not create a new safety hazard to the plant nor did they affect the safe shutdown of the reactor.

These items did not change the plant effluent releases and did not alter the existing environmental impact.

The 10CFR50.59 Safety Evaluations determined that no unreviewed safety or environmental questions are involved.

UFSAR CHANGE NOTICE 97-013, Nuclear Business Unit (NBU)

Organization Changes.

This UFSAR change shifts, clarifies, and consolidates responsibilities for NBU organizations, revises the I

succession of authority and responsibility for Salem station operations, establishes new positions, and corrects editorial errors.

The changes provide better control over NBU activities, l

and do not involve any reduction in the qualifications or training requirements, technical support, management control, commitments, or the quality assurance program.

i Therefore, this UFSAR change does not increase the probability or consequences of an accident previously described in the UFSAR and does not involve an Unreviewed Safety Question.

Temporary Mociifications Summary of Safety Evaluations Temporary Modification 97-003, Leak Repair of Steam Tunnel Main Steam Drain Line, 1-AB-028-DBD-2".

This Temporary Modification installs clamps and a hanger to contain a leak on line 1-AB-028-DBD-2", a main steam drain line, shown in UFSAR Figures 6.2-4 6 l

and 6.3-1.

Line 1-AB-028-DBD-2" is non-safety related and

~

provides a flowpath to the condenser in the standby mode of High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI)/ Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC). In the event that HPCI or RCIC is placed into service, the flow path of the main steam drain line is isolated.

This Temporary Modification does not alter or change the function or design requirements of the main steam drain line as described in the UFSAR. The clamp is designed to meet the temperature and pressure requirements of the main steam drain line.

A temporary j

hanger is installed to support the additional load of the clamps.

The main steam drain line meets seismic II/1 requirements with the temporary hanger installed.

Therefore, implementation of this temporary modification does not increase the probability or consequences of an accident previously described in the UFSAR and does not involve an Unreviewed Safety Question.

Temporary Modification 97-004, Aligning Valves to Allow Continuous Draining of Drain / Bucket Trap, 1KLDT-126.

This Temporary Modification establishes an off normal line-up for the Primary Containment Instrument Gas (PCIG) drain trap, 1KLDT-126, on the "B" compressor skid.

The off normal line-up consists of i

l closing the trap inlet valve, closing the trap equalizer valve l

and throttling the trap bypass valve open.

This is a change to l

the normal configuration of the facility as described in the l

USFAR.

This line-up allows the water generated from the intercooler condenser / separator to be eliminated without i

excessive PCIG loss.

Normal operation of the traps blows gas into the equipment drain funnel in the cor.pr essor area while expelling water.

This Temporary Modificat :nn establishes a controlled small bleed from the separator.

The continuous small (2.5 SCFM maximum) blowdown is a small increase to the normal total flow and any change to radiological conditions will be detected by existing plant monitoring systems.

Water elimination is included in the original design basis function of the system.

No unmonitored release path is created by this temporary modification.

t Therefore, implementation of this temporary modification does not increase the probability or consequences of an accidenc previously described in the UFSAR and does not involve an i

Unreviewed Safety Question.
