l-Enclosure to SBN-1056

1. REOUEST By letter of 8-8-83, a commitment was made that: " Procedures establish the methods for determining the applicability of the OQAP to specific '

structures, systems, and components." (FSAR section 17.2.2.2). This commitment is not in FSAR section 17.2.2.2 through FSAR Amendment 56.

Justify this omission if it is intentional, or insert the commitment into the FSAR.

RESPONSE

NHY letter SBN-975 dated March 27, 1986, transmitted an advanced copy of updated section 17.2 of the Seabrook FSAR, Amendment 58. This update contained the commitment as requested above. (See attached FSAR page 17.2-12).

2. REQUEST FSAR Amendment 55 revised the response to RAI 260.28 concerning the scope of the OQAP. The responses to parts a.1, a.2, a.3, and a.12 refer to FSAR Table 17.2-1. The information planned for Table 17.2-1 has been incorporated into the third paragraph of FSAR section 17.2.2.2, and these responses should be revised accordingly. The responses to parts a.16, a.18, b.6, f.1, f.4, and f.17 refer to FSAR Appendix 3H. Appendix 3H has been deleted from the FSAR, and these responses should also be revised accordingly.

RESPONSE

NHY letter SBN-716 dated September 25, 1984, stated that no further up-dates to RAI's would be made, that any responses to RAI's that involved changes to the FSAR would contain marked up pages of the FSAR and that the effected pages would be updated with the next revision of the FSAR.

As a result of this policy, there is no plan to revise the RAI's previ-ously submitted.

3. REQUEST on FSAR page RAI 260-17 (Amendment 55), it appears that, at mid page, line f.22 should be deleted and line f.23 should be revised to read:

"f.22 Already included in Table 3.2.2, FSAR section 9.4.1." Clarify.

RESPONSE

See response to item 2 above.

FSAR Amendment 55, which incorporated j the pertinent information from the January 28, 1985 letter into the FSAR, j did not include the following commitment from the letter itself:

" Implementation of these programmatic controls will be verified by Ouality Assurance personnel to the extent necessary to insure proper ,

g application." Incorporate this commitment into the FSAR or justify not  !

doing so. s f  !

l RESPONSE i

The programmatic controls at Seabrook Station are licensee maintained I and controlled programs which are applied to station equipment. These ,

! programmatic controls will be applied to the following items: [

i Containment building polar crane i

l Cask handling crane Refueling machine i j Spent fuel pool bridge and hoist l l  !

l * '

Intake and discharge structures (part of UllS)

Emergency lighting battery packs l Inplant 12 radiation monitoring Diesel generator cooling - auxiliary coolant pumps and motors l

b Diesel generator lubrication - auxiliary lube oil pumps and motors Instrumentation, control, and power cables used in non-Class IE l applications Non-safety related conduits, cable trays, raceway systems and their supports containing non-Class IE cables ,

Non-Class IE onsite power systems

! 17.2.2.1 Outline

The' commitments outlined in each section form the basis for preparation of l-procedures, ' instructions and other administrative controls. This ensures that

!- activities affecting the testing, repair, and design of the applicable structures, systems, or components are controlled and documented in a quality j

manner. To ensdre the effectiveness of the OQAP, the commitments of each section and their implementing controls are c.udited as described in Subsection I 17.2.18.

l The Program is implemented on structures, systems, or components at least 90 days prior - to fuel load or at the time of conditional acceptance by the j Station staff. l , ,,

2 The OQAP focuses on NHY activities, however, where a major portion of an ,l 54 activity is performed by a group other than NHY, the group or organization is l identified and discussed.

4 17.2.2.2 Scope t

3. The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which could result in potential offsite exposures comparable to the guideline exposures in 10CFR100.

These structures, systems and components have been designated as Safety Crass 1, 2, 3; Class lE or seismic category 1, and are listed in Tables 3.2-1 and 3.2-2. They are also identified as safety-related instrumentation and controls in FSAR, Sections 7.1 through 7.6. l Sc 54 A procedure establishes the mecnanism to determine the appropri' ace safety classification of specific structures, systems and components where information on the appropriate safety classification is not available.
