1 Attachment to NPL 97-0378 June 25,1997 Page1 Attachment 1 l COMMITMENT TO OPERATE POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT
! IN ACCORDANCE WITH SERVICE WATER SYSTEM ANALYSES On June 11,1997, the NRC was notified of the discovery of a condition in which Point Beach Nuclear Plant could be in an unanalyzed condition for the service water system. Event Number 32467 reports that the service water analyses for accident mitigation is based on the use of one component cooling water (CCW) heat exchanger for normal operational component cooling water system operation at the start of a large break loss of coolant accident. During conditions of high service water system temperature (approximately 71 F based on operational experience),
two heat exchangers have been employed for operating a unit to maintain component cooling water temperatures within current specifications. If two CCW heat exchangers are in service to one or both units at the start of a large break loss of coolant accident, sufficient service water flow may not be available to other equipment supplied from the service water system under minimum system operating conditions.
Therefore, Wisconsin Electric hereby provides the following commitment to operate Point Beach Nuclear Plant in accordance with service water system analyses applicable to the operating conditions:
Wisconsin Electric will operate Point Beach Nuclear Plant in accordance with its service water system analyses and approved procedures. Specifically, each unit will utilize only l one CCW heat exchanger until such time that analyses are completed and the service water system reconfigured as necessary to allow operation of one or both units with two heat exchangers in service. If two CCW heat exchangers are required in one or both units for maintaining acceptable component cooling water temperature prior to completion of necessary analyses to allow operation in the required configuration, the service water i system will be considered in an unanalyzed condition, declared inoperable and action taken as specified by Technical Specification 15.3.0.B except for short periods of time as necessary to effect procedurally controlled changes in system lineups and unit operating conditions.
Technical Specification 15.3.0.B states,"In the event an LCO cannot be satisfied because of equipment failures or limitations beyond those specified in permissible conditions of the LCO, action shall be initiated within one hour to place the affected unit in: 1. Hot shutdown within seven hours of entering this specification; AND 2. Cold shutdown within 37 hours4.282407e-4 days <br />0.0103 hours <br />6.117725e-5 weeks <br />1.40785e-5 months <br /> of entering
O Attachment to NPL 97-0378 June 25,1997 Page 2 this specification. This specification is applicable during power operation, low power operation, and shutdown with temperature 2200 F."
The exception stated in the commitment to allow operation with two heat exchangers in service to a unit for short periods of time is to facilitate short-term, normal evolutions such as switching from one heat exchanger to another. This allows a short period of time under direct operator control. If an accident were to occur, rapid operator action to re-establish single heat exchanger operation would be taken.
Operation of the CCW heat exchangers in order to cool down a unit is also a transient situation. i Single CCW system heat exchanger operation can be re-established after the cooldown is complete and decay heat loads are within the heat removal capability of that heat exchanger.
This transient condition for cooldown of a unit is not a current design basis requirement for service water system operation. This issue is being reviewed to determine whether it should be incorporated into the design basis of the service water system.
The results of our analyses will be discussed with the NRC staff as they are completed and ;
approved. ]
Attachment 3 to the initial Technical Specifications Change Request 192 submittal dated i September 30,1996, states,"In early 1996, Wisconsin Electric contracted Westinghouse to . !
evaluate the effect of reduced containment cooling on the Point Beach containment integrity 1 analysis. The evaluation was requested due to a concern that service water flow to the containment fan coolers may have been inadequate to support the heat removal assumptions of the original containment integrity analysis (FSAR Section 14.3.4)." The following information provides further explanation of the cause and effect relationship of reduced' containment fan cooler heat transfer and reduced containment fan cooler service water flow rate requirements.
- The reduction in service water flow causes reduced heat transfer in the containment fan coolers. !
The reduced flow also allows a higher pressure to be maintained in the containment fan coolers.
The higher pressure assures that the additional design basis requirement contained in Section 6.3.1 of the Point Beach FSAR is maintained. This additional design basis requirement j states,"In removing heat at the design basis rate, the cooling coils are capable of discharging the resulting condensate without raising the exit temperature of the service water to the boiling ,
point." In addition, the lower service water flow requirement for the containment fan coolers !
leaves more flow available for other equipment supplied by the service water system.

The September 30,1996, letter addresses the possibility for two-phase flow conditions in containment fan coolers. Technical Specifications Change Request 192 and the response to l Generic Letter 96-06 rely on the same service water system and containment fan cooler analyses.

. Attachment to NPL 97-0378 June 25,1997 Page1 Attachment 2 GENERIC LETTER 96-06 ISSUES UPDATE RELATED TO SERVICE WATER AND CONTAINMENT FAN COOLERS Generic Letter 96-06," Assurance of Equipment Operability And Containment Integrity During Design Basis Conditions," requested licensees to perform evaluations and take actions if necessary to ensure that containment cooling water systems and other water filled piping sections inside containment remain operable during design basis accident conditions. One of the postulated conditions was water hammer and two-phase flow conditions occurring in containment cooling systems during a design basis accident. Wisconsin Electric provided its 30-day response to Generic Letter 96-06 on October 30,1996.
As discussed in our October 30,1996 response, Wisconsin Electric had evaluated the potential for water hammer /two-phase flow conditions in the service water system and specifically the service water system to the containment fan coolers, prior to the Generic Letter 96-06 request. Wisconsin Electric determined ;
that the systems were susceptible to such conditions and evaluated the systems' operability with respect !
to NURPG/CR 5220,10 CFR 50 Appendix B, and the Technical Specifications with consideration of the guidance of Generic Letter 91-18. The results of these evaluations, supporting our conclusions that the systems remained operable, were provided to the NRC in letters dated September 9,1996, and September 30,1996. The conclusion that the systems remained operable, as documented in the evaluations, was based, in part, on the piping stresses induced by the postulated water hammer remaining within ASME III, Appendix F operability limits.
In the attachment to our September 9,1996, submittal, we provided potential resolution mechanisms for this condition. The intent of the resolution is to ensure that piping stresses within the systems remain l within ASME Code design allowables. We have determined that our preferred resolution is to upgrade piping and supports to ensure all stresses remain within Code should the postulated water hammer occur.
This action will restore the systems to full conformance with their design and licensing basis for the l postulated condition. 1 l
Our September 9,1996, submittal also provided a proposed schedule for restoration of the systems to full conformance. This schedule, which proposed completion of all necessary modifications by the Fall of 1997 was based on each unit commencing and completing a refueling outage in 1997. Due to delays in returning Unit 2 to service and rescheduling of the Unit I outage for September 1997, we presently propose completing all modifications by the end of the next Unit 2 outage. This outage is presently scheduled for mid-1998.
Wisconsin Electric provided the requested 120-day response to Generic Letter 96-06 in a January 27, 1997 submittal. As indicated in our 120-day response, an evaluation of this postulated degraded or nonconforming condition was performed using the criteria of 10 CFR 50.59. This evaluation concluded that the existing degraded or nonconforming condition constituted an unreviewed safety question. Based on this evaluation, Wisconsin Electric stated its intent to request a license amendment in accordance
1 i
l
. Aitachment to NPL 97-0378 l
June 25,1997 i Page 2 with the regulations to incorporate this condition into the licensing basis for the Point Beach Nuclear Plant.
l As indicated above, it is the ir tent of Wisconsin Electric to restore the systems into full conformance with the design and licensing bases for PBNP. Thus, while a temporary degraded or nonconforming condition exists, no change to the facility is being made to accept this condition. The application of the requirements of 10 CFR 50.59 to this temporary condition was inappropriate. The existing evaluation has been reviewed by our Manager's Supervisory Staff (onsite review committee). It has been determined that an unreviewed safety question does not exist and the evaluation canceled. Corrective action for this temporary condition is governed by our corrective action process in accordance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix B. The schedule provided in our September 9,1996 submittal as modified herein, ensures that PBNP is restored to full conformance for these conditions at the first available opportunity with due consideration for safety, the operability of the involved systems, and the necessary time for design, procurement and installation of the necessary modifications. Therefore, a license amendment for this condition is not required.
