NRC BULLETIN 88-08:

THERMAL STRESSES IN PIPING CONNECTED TO REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEMS Gentlemen:

1 i

j The following CPSES information is provided in response to fieport.ing Requirement 1 of NRC Bulletin 88-08, "Thermal Stresses in Piping Cone.2cted to

(

4 Reactor Coolant Systems."

l i

CPSES has completed a review of applicable systems connected to the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) as required by Action 1 of the bulletin. TV Electric has I

identified unisolable sections of piping connected to the RCS that may be

]

subjected to stresses from temperature stratification or temperature 1

i cscillations that could be induced by leaking valves and were not evaluated in j

the design analysis of the piping.

The lines that may be affected by these types of thermal stresses are:

j 1.

charging line downstream of valve 8146, 2.

alternate charging line downstream of valve 8147, 1

3.

auxiliary spray line downstream of valve 8145, and 4.

four centrifugal charging pump cold leg injaction lines downstream of valves 8801A/88018.

\\

In addition, we are aware of the phenomenon cited in footnote 1 of this l

bulletin, and Information Notice 68-80 related to the potential for tharmal I

stratification in the pressurizer surge line as a result of a tempera,re I

i difference between the pressurizer and the RCS hot leg during heatup cnd i

cooldown sequc-ices.

Since this potential thermal stratification would not be I

the result of leaking valves and therefore not within the scope of this bulletin, this issue is being addrw.ed independently of the actions required i

1 by this bullc+in.
