United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555 Gentlemen:
FINAL RESPONSE TO IE COMPLIANCE BULLETIN 86-03 HOPE CREEK GENERATING STATION DOCKET NO. 50-354 l
Public Service Electric and Gas Company ( PSE&G) hereby provides the final response to IE Compliance Bulletin 86-03 ( Potential Failure of Multiple ECCS Pumps Due to Single Failure of Air-Operated Valve in Minimum Recirculation Line) dated October 8,
1986, for the Hope Creek Generating Station (HCGS).
PSE&G provided the response to the subject bulletin in letters dated November 20, 1986 (C. A. McNeill, Jr.,
PSE&G, to T.
E. Murley, NRC) and January 15, 1987 (C. A. McNeill, Jr.,
PSE&G, to the Document Control Desk, NRC) for the Salem Generating Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 but did not include the HCGS Docket Number on the submittals, although reference to HCGS was made in the letter dated November 20, 1986.
PSE&G responded to IE Compliance Bulletin 86-01 (Minimum Flow Logic Problems That Could Disable RHR Pumps) dated May 23, 1986, for HCGS in a letter dated June 11, 1986 (C. A. McNeill, Jr. to T. E. Murley).
During the review of IE Compliance Bulletin 86-01, PSE&G investigated all emergency core cooling systems (ECCS) for single failure vulnerability and specifically concluded that the Residual Heat Removal (RHR) system was not subject to the type of failure identified in the bulletin.
l The results of the review conducted for IE Compliance Bulletin 86-01 are applicable to the requests made in IE Compliance Bulletin 86-03.
Specifically, the ECCS at HCGS - the High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI), the Automatic Depressurization System (ADS), the Core Spray System and the Low Pressure Coolant Injection System (LPCI) which is an operating mode of RHR - meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, General Design Criterion 35.
Therefore, PSE&G is confident that the single failure concerns raised in IE Compliance Bulletin 86-01 and again in IE Compliance Bulletin 86-03 are not applicable to HCGS.
