l May 20,1988 l Docket No. 50-382 l l

Mr. J. G. Dewease Senior Vice President - Nuclear Operations Louisiana Power and Light Company 317 Baronne Street, Mail Unit 17 New Orleans, Louisiana 70112 ,

SUBJECT:

INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM _FOR WATERFORD l By letter dated October 15, 1987, the Louisiana Power and Light Company (LP&L)'

submitted Revision 3 as a complete revision to the Ten Year Inservice Inspection Program. By letter dated April 4,1988, LP&L submitted Revision 4 and 5 which provided supplements to Revision 3. We are in the final stages of our review and expect to issue the fomal relief letter in the near future. However, in our review we have identified certain requests which we are not granting at this time.

For the Containment Spray, High Pressure Safety Injection, and Low Pressure Safety Injection systems, the recirculation lines have installed flow instru-mentation; therefore, relief to measure only pump differential pressure cannot be granted because it is not impractical to measure flow. LP&L must reasure and record all the paraneters in Table IWP-3100-2 in order to determine pump operability. In the case of the Boric Acid and Emergency Feedwater systems, the recirculation lines are not instrumented for flow and installations of instruments, while not impractical, would result in hardship. For these pumps, reliaf from measuring the flow during the quarterly test using the recirculation line may be granted if LP&L commits to testing each pump in these systems on the shortest pessible time intervals when plant conditions allow measuring all of the parameters in Table IWP-3100-2, i.e., each cold shutdown or refueling.

LP&L should follow the Revision 3, 4 and 5 with the exception of those reliefs not granted as discussed above. If there is any questions in regard to this matter, please let us knew.

INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM FOR WATERFORD By letter dated October 15, 1987, theLouisianaPowerandLightCompany(LP&L) I submitted Revision 3 as a complete revision to the Ten Year Inservice Inspection Program.

For the Containment Spray, High Pressure Safety Injection, and Low Pressure Safety Injection systems, the recirculation lines have installed flow instru-mentation; therefore, relief to measure only pump differential pressure cannot be granted because it is not impractical to measure flow. LP&L must measure and record all the parameters in Table IWP-3100-2 in order to detemine purp operability. In the case of the Boric Acid and Emergency Feedwater systems, the recirculation lines are not instrurented for flow and installations of instruments, while not impractical, would result in hardship. For these pumps, relief from measuring the flow during the quarterly test using the recirculation  :

line may be granted if LP&L comits to testing each pump in these systems on j the shortest possible time intervals when plant conditions allow measuring all i of the parameters in Table IWP-3100-2, i.e., each cold shutdown or refueling. l l

LP&L should follow the Revision 3, 4 and 5 with the exception of those reliefs l not granted as discussed above. If there is any questions in regard to this i matter, please let us know.
