3 RESPONSE TO IE BULLETIN 85-03, ITEM (e)

I.

HIGH PRESSURE SAFETY INJECTION SYSTEM A.

Definition - Safety injection pump suction from the boric acid storage tank and/or the refueling water storage tank discharging to the reactor coolant system via the reactor vessel injection and/or cold leg injection lines. The high pressure safety injection system does not include the accumulator injection lines, the residual heat removal system nor the recirculation from the containment sump.

B.

Valve Selection 1.

Safety injection pump suction i

From boric acid storage tank (2 valves) a.

b.

From refueling water storage tank (2 valves)

Common pump suction (2 valves) c.

2.

Safety injection pump discharge to the reactor vessel.

Safety injection pump discharge to the cold leg valves are not considered in the evaluation because Technical Specifi-cations require these values to be open with their associated motor control center supply breakers locked open.

II.

AUXILIARY FEEDWATER SYSTEM A.

Definition 1.

Auxiliary feedwater pump suction from the condensate storage tanks and/or the cooling water system discharging to the steam generators.

2.

Steam supply from the steam generators to the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump.

B.

Valve Selection 1.

Auxiliary feedwater pump suction.

-From condensate storage tank (2 valves).

a.

b.

From cooling water system (2 valves).

2.

Auxiliary feedwater pump discharge to steam generator (4 valves). --

j

3.

Turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump steam supply from the steam generators (2 valves).

III. VALVE DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE DESIGN BASIS

. System parameter evaluation (maximum pressure producing A.

capability).

1.

Pumps Operating - maximum discharge head.

a.

E,

  • Jut optisting.

2.

Relief valves - set pressure plus ASME allowable deviation.

3.-

Piping Elevation changes only considered with valves at th -

a.

low points of systems to increase the maximum differen-tial pressure.

b.

Piping line breaks downstream or upstream of valve.

4.

Check valves a.

Short term - no significant back leakage, b.

Long term - leakage across disc sufficient to equalize pressure on either side of disc.

5.

Tanks a.

Elevation Head b.

Design pressure 6.

Systems a.

Reactor coolant system design pressure b.-

Steam generator design pressure 7.

Valves Valves required to be locked open by Technical a.

Specifications are assumed to be in the correct position. i

= ~

b.

Class IE valve electrical interlocks are assumed to be operable.

Globe valves are evaluated using the elevated pressure c.

downstream of the valve in the close to open cycle and elevated pressure upstream of the valve in the open to close cycle. These assumptions preclude system pressure from assisting the actuator to open or close the valve and are considered to be very conservative.

B.

Evaluation Assumptions 1.

Per the guidance in item (a) of the bulletin, multiple valve mispositioning to cause an elevated AP across another valve was not considered in the evaluation.

2.

Multiple check valve back-leakage is possible to cause a AP across a closed upstream valve. Multiple check valve leakage cannot cause significant AP across an open upstream valve (i.e. - gross check valve leakage is not plausible).

3.

Valves not desired to be operable / opened against a AP higher than their design AP need only be operable at their design AP.

4.

Similarity of Unit 1 and Unit 2 piping (i.e. valve location, pump sizes, relief valve setting) does not warrant independent evaluations for each unit.

5.

Motor valves are evaluated in their safeguards actuation mode (s) and not for operations convenience modes. For example, the Safety Injection Pump suction from the RWST is not being evaluated when it is being used as a drainage path for the refueling cavity.

TABLE 3 IEB 85-03 MOTOR ACTUATOR / VALVE COMPLIANCE PROGRAM 1.

Motor valve opening and closing control modes, be it torque control or limit control, are to be reviewed.

Incorporated in this initial review will be a review of any control interlocks associated with the designated valves to assure any switch settings to be changed do not affect valve position indication or signals to other equipment.

(Review to be completed by October 1, 1986.)

2.

Documented existing switch settings and methods for setting the switc!.es will be reviewed and compared to existing manufacturer's recommendations. This review will encompass torque switches, tarque bypass switching, limit switches and thermal overloads.

(Review to be complete by October 1, 1986.)

3.

Using any new or revised methods for setting switches developed from item 2, above, existing plant procedures will be updated to reflect the new methodology.

(Procedure revisions to be completed by December 1, 1986.)

4.

Prior to changing any existing switch settings plant personnel will be trained on full scale operctional motor valves. Furthermore, the adequacy of the revised procedures will be demonstrated.

(Training and procedure verification will be completed by April 1, 1987.)

5.

The testing of the motor valvas will consist of:

a.

As found current and/or power traces.

b.

Switch resetting, if necessary.

c.

Differential pressure test at elevated pressures taking current and/or power traces.

d.

Test result reviews and motor valve operability declaration.

e.

Updating existing setpoint files.

Testing and resetting of any switches for motor operated valves will be performed during the spring, 1987 refueling outage for Unit 1.

Due to manpower limitations, the testing and resetting of the Unit 2 switches cannot be completed until the Unit 2 refueling outage currently scheduled for January, 1988. Based on this schedule, the Unit 2 program will exceed the completion date specified in Item (e) of the bulletin by appronimately three months.

J

r, 6.

~ The. valves previously identified will be incorporated into the scheduled preventive maintenance program. Maintenance, consisting of current / power trace, motor megger, actuator inspection, valve stem lubrication will be performed on each actuator every 5 years.

This maintenance will also verify siwitch settings. To further verify the switch settings are maintained, surveillance procedures will be developed. These procedures will inspect and verify correct settings.

7.

A final report, providing 1) verification of the completion of the motor valve program, 2) a summary of as found valve operability and

3) a summary of the data collected will be submitted within 60 days after completion of item 5 above.
