Dear Mr. Spangenberg:
SUBJECT:
PUMP AND VALVE INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM FOR CLINTON POWER STATION, UNIT 1 Enclosed are questions and comments resulting from the staff's and its consultant's (EG8G Idaho) review of your inservice testing (IST) program dated February,1985 for Clinton Power Station, Unit 1. For the staff to proceed with the review of your IST program, it is suggested that a working meeting be held in Bethesda, Maryland 30 to 45 days after your receipt of this letter to discuss your responses to the questions and comments contained in the enclosure. In Supplement 6 to the SER, Section 3.9.6, the staff granted you reifef from the pump and valve testing requirements of the ASME Code Section XI (1980 Edition) through Winter 1981 addenda. This relief was for a period of no longer than two years from the date of issuance of the operating license or until the staff's detailed review was completed, whichever came first.
Therefore, completion of this review prior to issuance of a low power or full power ifcense is not required.
Since your IST program was found to be lacking in many of the details that have typically been included in other facility programs, it may be desirable to have a conference call prior to the date for the working meeting. In addition, you may wish to submit proposed program changes or a revised IST program for consideration by the staff prior to the meeting.
If you have any questions regarding this issue please contact the staff's project manager for your application, Byron Siegel, at (301) 492-9414.

8' t' ENCLOSURE CLINTON POWER STATION PUMP AND VALVE INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM OVESTIONS AND COMMENTS
- 1. VALVE TESTING PROGRAM A. General Questions and Comments
- 1. Provide a listing of the limiting values of full-stroke time for all power operated valves in the Clinton IST program for our review.
- 2. Are all valves that are Appendix J type C leak-rate tested included in the Clinton IST program?
- 3. The NRC has concluded that the applicable leak test procedures and requirements for containment isolation valves are determined by 10 CFR 50 Appendix J, however, the licensee must comply with the Analysis of Leakage Rates and Correcti 9 Action Requirements paragraphs of Section XI, IWV-3420 (f) and 3420 (g). Does the current Clinton IST program meet this NRC staff position?
- 4. Do the following valves receive an Appendix J 1eak rate test to verify their ability to perform a containment isolation function? If so, they should be categorized A or A/C as appropriate and be identified in the IST program as receiving a valve seat leakage test (Method of Testing 3 from Table 3.3-1).

- 5. Are any valves at Clinton Power Station currently leak-rate tested to verify a pressure boundary isolation function? Those valves that serve both a pressure boundary isolation function and a containment isolation function must be leak tested to both the Appendix J and Section XI requirements.
- 6. The Code permits valves to be exercised during cold shutdowns where it is not practical to exercise during plant operation and these valves are specifically identified by the licensee and are full-stroke exercised during cold shutdowns. The staff requires that the licensee provide a technical justification for each valve that cannot be exercised quarterly during power operation that clearly explains the difficulties or hazards encountered during that testing. The staff will then verify that it is not practical to exercise those valves and that the testing should be performed during cold shutdowns. Cold shutdown testing of valves identified by the licensee is acceptable -
when the following conditions are met: ,
5
- a. The licensee is to commence testing as soon as the cold shutdown condition is achieved, but not later than 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> after shutdown, and continue until complete or the plant is ready to return to power.
- b. Completion of all valve testing is not a prerequisite to return to power.
- c. Any testing not completed during one cold shutdown should be performed during any subsequent cold shutdowns starting from the last test performed at the previous cold shutdown.
- d. For planned cold shutdowns, where ample time is available and testing all the valves identified for the cold shutdown test frequency in the IST program will be accomplished, exceptions to the 48 nours may be taken.
Does the Clinton IST program conform to this staff position for all valves tested on a cold shutdown frequency?
- 7. The Clinton IST program valve listing table does not identify the testing frequency for each individual valve. Therefore, it was assumed that unless indicated otherwise in a comment or a relief request, the tests are performed at the Code specified frequency of once every 3 months for tests 1, 2, and 7; at refueling outages but not less than once every two years for test 3; and in accordance with Table 3510-1 for test 5. Does the Clinton IST program conform to these Code requirements?
- 8. Many Clinton IST program relief requests specify that the valves will be exercised "during cold shutdown or refueling outages." The use of the word "or" implies that an option exists for the frequency of perforrhing the testing. For valve testing purposes, the NRC differentiates between the cold shutdown mode and the refueling outage .
mode. That is, for valves identified for testing during cold 6
- e. .
shutdowns, it is expected that the tests will be performed both during cold shutdowns (in accordance with the Staff positions in A.6 above) and during each refueling outage. However, when relief is granted to perform tests on a refueling outage frequency, testing is expected only during each refueling outage. In addition, for extended outages, tests being performed are expected to be maintained as closely as practical to the Code-specified frequencies.
For the purposes of this review, when the alternate testing specified
" cold shutdown or refueling outages" it was assumed that the testing was to be performed on the cold shutdown frequency and the word "and" was substituted for "or" in the relief requests. Specifically identify any cases where this assumption is not correct and provide a technical justification for not exercising the involved valves during cold shutdowns.
- 9. Are remote position indicators being verified in accordance with the requirements of Section XI, IWV-3300 for all applicable valves in the Clinton IST program?
- 10. When flow through a check valve is used to indicate a full-stroke exercise of the valve disk, the NRC staff position is that verification of the maximum flow rate identified in any of the plant's safety analyses through the valve would be an adequate demonstration l of the full-stroke recuirement. Any flow rate less than this will be considered partial-stroke exercising unless it can be shown (by some means such as measurement of the differential pressure across the valve), that the check valve's disk position at the lower flow rate would permit maximum required flow through the valve. Does the
- Clinton IST program conform to this staff position?
l 11. If a manual operator is used to full-stroke exercise check valves that cannot'be full-stroke exercised with flow, is the force or torque that l is applied to the mechanical exerciser measured to assure compliance ,
with IWV-3520(b)(2)?
7
- 12. The NRC staff position is that the emergency diesel generators perform a safety-related function and that the appropriate valves in the emergency diesel air start, cooling water and fuel oil transfer systems should be included in the IST program and be tested in accordance with the Code. Engtne mounted pumps are considered to be part of the diesel and need not be tested separately.
- 13. Do the valves identified in Table 200-1 in relief request 200 perform safety related functions? IF they do, they shculd be included in the valve listing table of the IST program and be tested in accordance with the Section XI requirements (stroked, stroke timed, fail-safe tested, position verification tested, etc., as applicable) unless specific relief is requested for individual valves or groups of valves in similar applications.
B. Main Steam System
- 1. Are valves F022A through D and F028A through D full-stroke exercised quarterly during power operations? If not, describe the testing that is performed and provide either a cold shutdown justification or a relief request for these valves.
- 2. Do valves F022A through D and F028A through D have a required fail-safe position? If so, their fail-safe operation should be verified quarterly by performing test 7.
- 3. Define what is meant by " extended cold shutdown" in relief requests 015 and 016. If these valves are not tested on a cold shutdown frequency as described in A.6 and A.8 above, then the detailed technical justifications for not testing these valves during cold shutdowns should be included in the relief requests.
- 4. The safety relief valves that also perform the ADS function should be categorized B/C in the IST program and be exercised in accordance with ,
Section XI as Category B power operated valves to verify their ability 8
to perform the ADS function as well as the safety relief valve function. Which main steam safety relief valves perform the ADS function?
- 5. Since the upstream MSIVs are exercised quarterly, provide the justification for not exercising valves F098A, B, C, and D quarterly during power operation.

- 2. The purpose of measuring valve stroke times in the IST program is to detect valve degradation to allow for repairs of degraded valves prior to their failure, and not for any functional or accident mitigation reasons as indicated in relief request 032.
Solenoid operated valves are not exempted from the stroke time measurement requirements of Sectien XI; their stroke times must be measured and corrective action taken if these times exceed the limiting value of full-stroke time. The NRC staff will grant relief from the trending requirements of Section XI (Paragraph IWV-3410 (c)(3); for these rapid acting valves, however, in order to obtain this relief the licensee must assign a maximum limiting stroke time of 2 seconds to these valves.
F. Cycled Condensate System
