O. Box 618 10-08-86 North Country Road 09-24-87 Wading River, N.Y. 11792 Respondent:

John D. Leonard, Jr.,

Vice President, Nuclear Operations The information provided in your response to Action Item e of IE Bulletin 85-03 was found to be deficient in some areas. Provide the additional information necessary to resolve the following comments and questions:

1. Revise Table 1A of the response dated 09-24-87 to include values of differential pressure for opening the following MOVs, or justify exclusion of these pressures. As required by Action Item a of the bulletin, assume inadvertent equipment operations.

(a) HPCI MOV031 is shown norma 11v open in Zone F-8 of Drawing M-10121-19, and as MOV 3 on Page GS of BWROG Report NEDC-31322 dated September 1986. How vould suction from the CST be ensured if this MOV were to be ',a) actuated inadvertently to the closed position spon intended initiation of the system or (b) left closed inadvertently?

(b) RCIC MOV031 is shown normally open in Zone G-8 of Drawing M-10116-20, and as MOV 3 on Page 72 of the BWROG Report.

The question in Item 1(a) above applies here also.

(c) HPCI MOV044 is shown normally open in Zone C-5 of Drawing M-10121-19, and as MOV VI on Page 71 of the BWROG Report.

How would exhaust from the HPCI Turbine to the suppression pool be ensured if this valve were to be (a) actuated inadvertently to the closed position upon intended initiation of the system or (b) left closed inadvertently?

(d) RCIC MOV045 is shown normally open in Zone C-5 of Drawing M-10116-20, and as MOV VI on Page 74 of the BWR00 Report.

The question in Item 1(c) above applies here also.

2. Rev1se Table 1A of the response of 09-24-87 to include RCIC MOV044. This Trip and Throttle Valve is shown normally open in Zone G-3 of Drawing M-10117-16, and as MOV X on Page 74 of the BWROG Report. How would steam supply to the RCIC Turbine be ensured if this MOV vere to be (a) actuated inadvertently to the closed position upon intended initiation of the system or (b) left closed inadvertently?

3. Revise Table 1A of the response dated 09-24-87 to include values of differential pressure for opening the following CST test return valves, or justify exclusion of these pressures.

Accordir.3 to pages 55 and 59 of the BWROG Report, these valves have no safety action; however, utilities are expected to report differential pressures for testing, per Note o on Page 66.

(a) HPCI MOVs 037 and 038 are shown as MOVs 5 and 6 on Pa8e 68 of the BWROG Report.

(b) RCIC MOV 037 is shown as MOV 5 on Page 72 of the BWROG Report.

4. According to notes 4 and 5 of the response dated 09-24-87, three MOVs were under engineering review. Report the r sults of this review.

5. The proposed program for action items b,c and d of the bulletin is incomplete. Provide the following details as a minimum:

(a) commitment to a training pro 8 ram for setting switches and maintaining valve operators, (b) commitment to justify continued operation of a valve determined to be inoperable, (c) description of a method possibly needed to extrapolate valve stem thrust determined by testing at less than maximum differential pressure, (d) justification of a possible alternative to testing at maximum differential pressure at the plant, (e) consideration of pipe break conditions as required by the bulletin, and (f) stroke testing when necessary to meet bulletin requirements, a
