NEUTRON FLUX MONITORING (GL 82 33)(LTP #377)

Commitment Descriptiori Generic Letter 82 33 required utilities to report on implementation of Regulatory Guide 1.97, Boston Edison, and some other utilities with Boiling Water Reactors, took exception to requirements related to neutron flux monitoring systems. Subsequently, the BWR Owners Group submitted NEDO 31658 that proposed alternate criteria for neutron flux monitoring. NRC issued a safety evaluation and accepted the NEDO 31558 criteria in Reference 1.

In Reference 2, the NRC requested utilities to review the neutron flux monitoring instrumentation against the NEDO 31558 to determine whether the installed system meets the criteria and to submit a letter to the NRC with the results of the review.

Boston Edison's reply (Reference 3) Identified that Pilgrim Station met the criteria of NEDO-31558 with certain clarifications and exceptions.

Our exception concerned the requirements for uninterruptible power supplies (Criterion 5.2.8 of NEDO-31558). Boston Edison took exception and provided a basis for the acceptability of the present Pilgrim Station design (Reference 3). We are taking no further action on this item.

In Reference 3, Boston Edison committed to perform an analysis of the ATWS conditions in the drywell for comparison with NMS design specifications. We further stated we would be working with other BWR owners on this issue.

Commitment Historv/Proaress Progress and Summary of Changes - August 1,1993 - January 31,1994 As planned, Boston Edison has joined with several other BWR owners through the BWR Owners Group to sponsor an analysis to determine the ATWS environment and to compare the calculated temperatures with design specifications. The BWROG task is underway and expected to be complete in opproximately 6 months. We will provide an update on the analysis and its results in the next LTP update at which time we expect to be able to identify what, if any, additional efforts will be required.

Progress and Summary of Changes - February 1,1994 July 31,1994 As planned, Boston Edison supplied various input data on plant parameters to GE for their use in modeling the containment and plant systems for the ATWS analysis. (Three other utilities are also pcrticipating in the task and are supplying corresponding data.)

GE and the BWROG now expect to complete the ATWS analysis and issue the preliminary report to sponsoring utilities in early December,1994.

SCHEDULE B We will provide an update on the analysis and its results in the next LTP update. By that time, if the analysis has been available for sufficient time, we expect to be able to identify what, if any, additional efforts will be required, Progress and Summary of Changes August 1,1994 January 31,1995 We continued to supply input data to General Electric and to coordinate with the BWROG and other participating utilities on various questions regarding the analysis. GE has not, however, issued their report we now expect a report in late April,1995 We will provide further information in the next LTP update and should then be able to identify what further action will be taken.

Progress and Summary of Changes February 1,1995 July 31,1995 Boston Edison has received and reviewed the draft final report from GE of their analysis to ,

determine the ATWS environment for neutron monitoring equipment. From our review, we expect to require testing to demonstrate that one or more components (cables, connectors) are adequate for the ATWS conditions. We plan to have test results by the end of 1996, if testing and analysis are utiable to demonstrate the adequacy of the affected components, replacements will be scheduled for a future refueling outage.

Progress and Summary of Changes August 1,1995 January 31,1996 Boston Edison received the final report from GE of the analysis to determine the ATWS environment for neutron monitoring equipment. The report is based on the Dresden Plant and .

envelopes Pilgrim and 3 other plants with similar piping configurations.

NEDO 31558 requires a plant specific evaluation of ATWS environments in comparison with

- design specifications to assure NMS system performance. Qualification to design basis environmental standards required by RG 1.89 is not necessary.

Several design specifications and vendor Certificates of Compliance have been reviewed. This preliminary review concludes the temperature specifications for the components were higher than ATWS temperatures We are currently performing a review of the cable connectors. A simple temperature test may be required to assure that these connectors will meet the ATWS environment. Test results are expected to be complete by the end of 1996.

Progress and Summary of Changes February 1,1996 July 31,1996 No progress was made on this issue; however, we expect to complete the review as scheduled. )

Progress and Summary of Changes August 1,1996 - January 31,1997 All reviews have been completed. The NMS cable connector temperature test was performed on February 14,1997, and met our acceptance criteria. We are prepaling the final documentation package. All activities associated with Neutron Flux Monitoring will be completed 6/30/97.

i ATTACHMENT 2 SCHEDULllLR SEISMIC VERIFICATION PROGRAM fGL 87 02)(LTP #410)

Commitment Description The NRC's final Supplemental Safety Evaluation Report (SER) on Revision 2 of the Generic implementation Procedures (GIP 2) for A 46 was issued via Generic Letter 87 02, Supplement 1, on May 22,1992 (Reference 4). By September 21,1992, each licensee was required to respond to the SER stating whether they intend to follow the GIP 2 guidance, provide a schedule for implementation of the GlP including submission of a report summarizing the results of the A 46 review, and provide information on the procedures and criteria used to generate the in structure response spectra used for A 46 Implementation. Evaluation of equipment is to include (a) adequacy of equipment anchorage; (b) functional capability of essential relays; (c) identification of potential outlief s and deficiencies; and (d) seismic systems interactions, in our response (Reference 5), we committed to implement GIP 2 in its entirety and provided a description of the procedures and criteria used to generate the in structure response spectra. A schedule of GlP 2 implementation and submission of a summary report was deferred to the February 1993 LTP semi annual update (provided below).

In Reference 6, the NRC issued a Safety Evaluation Report (SER) approving our response. The SER cssumed a commitment on BECo's part to implement the GlP 2 in its entirety and noted our in-structure response spectra should be treated as median centered. We affirmed the NRC assumption to be correct in Reference 7 and clarified our continued commitment to implement the seismic verification program at Pilgrim Station through the GlP 2 and its subsequent revisions.

Our schedule for completion of the GIP and submission of a summary report is scheduled for 9/30/96.

PRESSURE LOCKING AND THERMAL BINDING OF SAFETY RELATED. POWER OPERATED GATE  :

VALVES tGL 95-07)

PERIOD.C VER FICATION OF DESIGN BASIS CAPABILITY OF SAFETY RELATED MOTOR-OPERATED V%VES (GL 96 05)

Commitment Description Generic Letter (GL) 8910 (Ref.1) expands the scope of the motor operated valve program required by NRC Bulletin 85-03 and its Supplement, to include additional testing, inspecting, and maintenance for all safety related motor operated valves.

In our Reference 2 response to the GL, we committed to develop a program to enhance the maintenance, analysis, and testing already being conducted on MOVs at Pilgrim. The GL calls for the development of this program within 1 year or one refueling outage from the date of the letter, whichever is later. For BECo, this schedule translates to RFO #8. Our plan was to begin a design basis review of MOVs in the first quarter of 1991 and to begin testing in RFO #9. Based on resource constraints in 1990, we revised the design basis review schedule to commence in the last quarter of 1991. This revision continues to support our commitment to begin testing in RFO ,

  1. 9 and supports our program development schedule. We anticipate the testing will require three refueling outagos, based on the extent of known scope. Additional scope determinations as a ,

result of NUMARC and BWROG involvement will be factored into our final scope and schedule as appropriate.

Reference 6 requested Licensees to perform a plant specific safety assessment to determine if generic safety assessments performed by the NRC staff and the BWR Owners' Group are applicable. If MOVs are discovered with potential deficiencies of greater significance than the HPCI, RCIC, and RWCU MOVs, planned activities to address the generic letter were to be re-prioritized accordingly. Notification within 30 days of receipt of Supplement 3 was required verifying a plant specific safety assessment was perbrmed and identifying whether there were MOVs with deficiencies of greater safety significance than in the HPCI, RCIC, and RWCU systems. An additional notification within 120 days of receipt was also requested to provide the criteria reflecting operating experience and the latest test data applied in determining whether deficiencies exist in the HPCI, RCIC, and RWCU MOVs.

In our Reference 7 letter, we concluded the subject valves in the HPCI, RCIC, and RWCU systems were capable of performing their safety function to provide containment isolation in the event of a line break outside containment. This submittal provided our 30 and 120 day response to the generic letter and precluded having to perform a plant specific safety assessment. We also committed in Reference 7 to conduct diagnostic testing on the Reactor Water Cleanup (RWCU)

MO 12012 valve during RFO #8, We expanded our planned RFO #8 testing to include 2 additional valves: RWCU MO 12015 and Closed Cooling Water MO-4010A.

The NRC issued a Request for Additional Information (RAl) (Ref.10) after reviewing our Reference 7 and 8 responses to GL 8910 Supplement 3. BECo responded to the RAI on August 29,1991 (Ref.11).

During the week of March 9-13,1992, the NRC conducted an inspection of the PNPS GL 89-10 MOV program. As a result of this inspection Boston Edison committed to resubmit the GL 8910, Supplement 3, response and accelerate th9 schedule for priority 1 valves to have the GL 89-10 actions completed by the end of RFO #10.

l Through RFO #9,46 out of a total population of 90 SR MOVs have been set up via diagnostic testing techniques. Through RFO #9,29 of 55 Prionty 1 MOVs have been set up via diagnostic l testing techniques.

MOV testing, maintenance, and inspections are scheduled to continue in MCO 10, including the first phase of Dynamic Testing.

Progress and Summary of Changes - August 1,1993 January 31,1994 Design Basis Reviews (DBR), Diagnostic Testing, inspections, Maintenance and Modifications are on schedule to support the commitment to complete Priority 1 MOVs (55 valves) by RFO #10.

Similar efforts related to the remaining Safety Related (SR) MOVs (35 valves) are also on schedule and are expected to be completed per the current commitment, RFO #11.

The first phase of Dynamic Testing is on schedule to commence in MCO 10.]The use of an altemative valve and actuator design is under consideration for implementation on a certain population of MOVs. Candidate MOVs are those which would require significant modifications utilizing typical manufacturer product design and applications. The altemative design has several advantages including a solid state control system, enhanced repeatability, reduced electrical power demand and a reduced preventative maintenance frequency. The attemate design would also decrease the probability of potential common mode failure issues and diversify plant design.

Our response to GL 89-10, Supplement 5. (Ref.18), indicated actions to be taken to resolve the accuracy issues associated with the use of Liberty Technologies VOTES equipment. The following actions were required:

Update the VOTES test results using the revised property constants and torque correction factors. This action is complete. Subsaquent to this action, Liberty issued Customer Service Bulletin (CSB) 031 that requires review of test results due to a software problem in the VOTES equipment. This new action will be completed and updated by our next LTP submittal.

a Revise Liberty Technologies test results to use a curve fit algorithm and determine extrapolation error. This action is complete. Subsequent to completion, Liberty issued CSB-031 causing a need to review post test results. This new action will be completed and updated by our next LTP submittal.

SCHEDULEB The use of an alternative valve design, as previously discussed, is being aggressively pursued for l implementation on (4) MOVs in RFO #10. The use of an alternative actuator design is also being I

aggressively pursued for implementation on (1) MOV in RFO #10. The alternate design incorporates GL 89-10 ' lessons leamed' as well as the most recent EPRI and INEL technical information. Back-up plans are also being developed should new product qualification issues not support our RFO #10 schedule commitment.

Progress and Summary of Changes - July 31,1994 - January 31,1995

'GL 8910, Safety Related MOV Testing and Surveillance' activities continue on schedule to support the commitment to complete Priority 1 MOVs (55 valves) by RFO #10, with the remaining Safety Related (SR) MOVs (35 valves) following per the current schedule commitment, RFO #11.

Significant progress was made during the generator forced outage in the Fall of 1994. The forced outage enveloped the original scheduled MCO #10. A total of forty-nine (49) MOVs were worked during the Fall outage. Industry corrective actions and GL 89-10 design changes accounted for thirty-six (36) of the forty nine (49) activities performed. Activities ranged in complexity from complete actuator replacement / valve disassembly to simple changes in gear ratio and EQ inspections.

Valve modifications were completed on three (3) MOVs for the purpose of installing pressure locking relief paths. Potential over thrust /over-torque conditions were also dispositioned on two MOVs in the RWCU and RCIC systems.

The first phase of Dynamic Testing was completed during the Fall outage. Differential pressure diagnostic testing was completed on thirteen (13) MOVs. Static diagnostic testing also continued during this outage with twenty-five (25) MOVs being set using state-of the art equipment and industry data.

The use of an altemative valve _ design, as previously discussed, is scheduled for implementation on (4) MOVs in RFO #10. The use of an alternative actuator design is also being aggressively pursued for implementation on (1) MOV in RFO #10. The alternate designs incorporate GL 89-10

' lessons leamed' as well as the most recent EPRI and INEL technical information. Back-up plans are in place to install a conventional design actuator should delivery of the new actuator not support our RFO #10 schedule commitment. Whichever actuator is installed, committed actions will be completed in RFO #10.

Progress and Summary of Changes - February 1,1995 - July 31,1995 The first phase of GL 8910, Safety Related (SR) MOV Testing and Surveillance activities (55 Priority i MOVs) was completed on schedule in RFO #10. The remaining Safety Related MOVs (35 valves) will follow per the current schedule commitment, RFO #11.

Significant progress was made during RFO #10 (Spring 95). A total of sixty eight (68) SR MOVs were worked during the refueling outage. Industry corrective actions and GL89-10 design changes accounted for forty (40) of the sixty eight (68) activities performed. Activities ranged in complexity from complete valve / actuator replacement to simple changes in gear ratio and EQ inspections.

Valve modifications were comp leted on five (5) MOVs in RFO #10 for the purpose of installing pressure locking relief paths. This brings the total number of MOV related modification 3 to eight.

No additional MOV modifications related to this issue are expected.

SCHEDULE B

' During RFO #10, differential pressure diagnostic testing was completed on thirty five (35) MOVs.

Static diagnostic testing also continued during the RFO with forty (40) MOVs being set using state-of-the-art equipment and industry data, j

Design basis operation for eight three percent (83%) of Priority 1 gate and globe motor operated valves has been confirmed via differential pressure diagnostic testing. Static diagnostic testing has been performed on all Priority 1 gate and globe motor operated valves (47).

The installation of an alternative valve design ("Sentiner), as discussed in the previous update, was completed on (4) MOVs in RFO #10. Three of the six GL 89-10 Supplement 3 MOVs were replaced with the new design. RFO #10 test results indicate excellent performance characteristics. The use of an attemative actuator design is also continuing to be aggressively pursued for future implementation. The attemate designs incorporate GL 89-10 " lessons learned" as well as the most recent EPRI and INEL technicalinformation and thus represent a truly engineered solution to many outstanding design issues.

Progress and Summary of Changes - August 1,1995 - January 31,1996 The scope of work associated with RFO #11 will be similar in nature and in quantity to that accomplished in RFO #10 (summarized in the previous update). Certain Priority i MOV's will again be worked for the purpose of accomplishing standard preventative maintenance, disposition of emergent generic industry issues, or to inspect for potential degradation for trending or corrective maintenance. The strategy is to complete as much of the scope on line within the scheduled system windows as possible. This strategy optimizes resources and considers ALARA.

The issue of " Pressure Locking and Thermal Binding..." with respect to MOVs is essentially complete. Twelve (12) MOVs have been determined to be susceptible to pressure locking and three (3) MOVs have been determined to be suscept;ble to thermal binding. Physical modifications are complete on eleven (11), procedure changes are planned on four (4), with the remainder being dispositioned via engineering evaluation as not susceptible. Specific details are available in our 180-day response to GL 95-07 (Ref. 23)

Progress and Summary of Changes February 1,1995 - July 31,1996 The remaining Safety Related MOVs (35 valves) are on schedule to complete per the current commitment, RFO #11.

BECo is also pursuing a permanently installed MOV monitoring system. It is designed to be a non-intrusive device capable of automatically acquiring critical valve performance parameters. It will record and store the valve data onto a removab'e cartridge for future analysis. The system provides a method of trending valve performance to address periodic test verification requirements.

The installation of an attemative valve design ("Sentiner), was completed on (4) MOVs in RFO

  1. 10. Three of six GL 89-10 Supplement 3 MOVs were replaced with the new design. RFO #10 test results indicate excellent performance characteristics. Confirmatory flow and thermal effects testing was conducted by OEM (General Electric) in May 1996. The testing identified conditions which are not specifically or conservatively addressed in GL 95-07 (Pressure locking and Thermal Binding of Safety-Related Power-Operated Gate Valves"). This issue was identified in our response to RAI TAC No. M93504 and will be followed/dispositioned under GL 95-07.

The first phase of GL 89-10, Safety Related (SR) MOV Testing and Surveillance activities (55 Priority i MOVs) was completed on schedule in RFO #10. The remaining safety related MOVs (35 valves) are on schedule to complete por the current commitment, RFO #11 (February 1997).

The scope of work associated with RFO #11 will be similar in nature and in quantity to that accomplished in RFO #10. Approximately fifty (50) safety-related MOVs make up the RFO #11 scope. Certain Priority 1 MOVs will again be worked for the purpose of accomplishing standard l preventive maintenance, trending, disposition of emergent generic industry issues, or to inspect j for potential degradation and perform the associated corrective maintenance.

l l Approximately thirty safety-related MOVs were completed on-line within the scheduled system windows. This strategy increases design margin at the earliest possible time and optimizes resources / ALARA considerations.

Pilgrim also intends to install and test the ' Sentry' on-line monitoring system on approximately eight (8) MOVs in RFO #11. This system has the capability to record and store diagnostic data which can be used to analyze the MOVs performance over time. Pilgrim intends to utilize this system as one of the elements of the Periodic Verification Program (GL 96-05). BECo Letter 96-099, dated November 15,1996, provides our current commitment relative to periodic verification to be established by September 30,1997.

Progress and Summary of Changes - February 1,1997 - July 31,1997 All activities and commitments associated with GL 89-10 have been completed (Ref. 26).

The MOV verification program will be established by September 30,1997.

These changes will be part of the conversion to 3tandard Technical Specifications. We continue to work to a December 31,1997,-

completion date for fullimplementation of the Enhanced Option 1A modification.

Progress and Summary of changes - February 1,1997 July 31,1997 in February 1997, Boston Edison completed Phase 1 of modification implementation. One new Flow Control Trip Reference (FCTR) circuit card was installed in APRM A. One new Period Based Detection System (PBDS) circuit card was installed in LPRM A and one in LPRM B. -The digital port output from the PBDS cards was connected to a system to collect data and operational experience during downpower and power ascension for RFO #11 and to monitor the PBDS response during various plant operations.

The above data from Pilgrim and other BWROG Enhanced Option 1A plants was reviewed by the BWROG in July. - Utilities experienced higher than expected counts at stable, rated power conditions with the least sensitive PBDS settings of period tolerance and corner filter frequency.

The frequency of Hi alarm signals due to these high counts is unacceptable because it is not a meaningfulindication of stability conditions. The BWROG is modifying the firmware of the PBDS card to increase the filter range. To accommodate this hardware improvement and additional testing, BECo is revising its finalimplementation date to June 30,1998.

Progress and Summary of Changes - February 1,1995 - July 31,1995 I

A final decision has not been made regarding the closure of the South Weymouth Naval Air Station. Formal Congressional approval is not expected until December.

We met with the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency on August 17th to discuss plans should the federal government close the station.

Progress and Summary of Changes - August 1,1995 January 31,1996 The South Weymouth Naval Air Station is expected to be officially closed as a naval air base in September 1997. It is our understanding the base will be tumed over to the local communities at that time.

Approximately 100 emergency personnel are required to staff the South Weymouth reception center. During 1994 and 1995, approximately 135 Navy, civilian, and local volunteer personnel were trained and assigned to the reception center.

Some emergency personnel are expected to be transferred out of the area when the base closes. Additional emergency personnel from the surrounding local towns ware recruited in October 1995. Approximately 100 additional personnel were identified as emergency volunteers.

On November 17,1995, and February 7,1996, classroom training was held for both new and existing personnel. On February 24,1996, a training practical at the reception center will be conducted.

Progress and Summary of Changes - February 1,1996 - July 31,1996 The South Weymouth Naval Air Station is not expected to close until September 27,1997. It is expected that the buildings and grounds will be tumed over to local communities at that time.

All Navy aircraft are expected to move out of the facility on August 27,1996.

\ ATTACHMENT 2 SCHEDULEB During the month of February 1996, approximately 130 people from the surrounding communities were trained to staff the reception center. MEMA Area ll and emergency management agencies from the surrounding communities continue to recruit volunteers to maintain proper staffing levels for the reception center. They are also seeking attemative locations in case the reception center in South Weymouth cannot be maintained.

Progress and Summary of Changes - August 1,1996 - January 31,1997 The South Weymouth Naval Air Station (NAS) remains scheduled for removal of naval personnelin September 1997, with ongoing movement of personnel and securing of facilities.

Staffing of the reception center remains virtually unaffected due to the closure, since reception center functions are assigned to and performed by trained volunteers from the surrounding communities. We have recently been requested to relocate the reception center equipment from the existing gym and chapel areas by June 1,1997, in order to facilitate temporary closure of these facilities. MEMA Area ll, assisted by Boston Edison staff, is seeking alternative locations in case the reception center at South Weymouth cannot be maintained. Additionally, i we have been in contact with the NAS Reuse Planning Committee and are exploring the use of subleases for the existing facilities, or altemate NAS facilities, in order to establish interim and continued use of the base as a northem reception center.

Progress and Summary of Changes - February 1,1997 - July 31,1997 l

l MEMA Area 11, with Boston Edison assistance, gained approval for the use of Braintree High School as the new northem reception center. The command center which supports the northern reception center was mvved from the chapel at the South Weymouth NAS to the Braintree Emergency Operations Center on May 21,1997. Tabletop drills and training were conducted to support the transfer of the reception center and command center. The physical move of the equipment was completed, and a successful walkthrough demonstration was conducted on May 31,1997. Public information advisories, " clip and save" paper announcements, and radio spots were placed in local newspapers and radio stations announcing the move of the reception center. The transfer of the northern reception center was reviewed and evaluated by FEMA and MEMA. This item is now closed and will be removed from future LTP updates.

SCHEDULE B ECCS PUMP STRAINERS (Bulletin 95-02) , (Bulletin 96-03) (LTP #723)

Commitment Descriotion:

Pilgrim has performed testing for the purpose of confirming suppre.sion pool and strainer cleanliness.

The testing confirmed strainer cleanliness, and the results were transmitted to the NRC (Reference 3).

Pilgrim will inspect the ECCS suction strainers in RFO #11 and will also continue with pool cleaning in that outage. Future pool cleaning frequency will be based on a plan consistent with generic studies currently on going via the BWROG. Pilgrim completed foreign material exclusion (FME) procedure enhancements on February 8,1996.

Bulletin 96-03 requested that appropriate procedural measures and plant modification to minimize the potential for clogging of ECCS suppression pool suction strainers by debris generated during a LOCA.

BECo plans to install new ECCS suction strainers that will increase the design margin relative to the existing design basis.

Commitment HistorvlProaress:

Progress and Summary of Changes - August 1,1995 - January 31,1996 Pilgrim has conducted a review of ECCS capability and has determined that the ECCS systems are operable, the strainers are not clogged or degraded, and N suppression pool is free of debris that is or can become suspended and result in strainer clogging, This conclusion is based on previous pool cleaning activities and inspections and verified by representative pump performance testing.

Foreign material exclusion (FME) procedures are in place that should prevent the introduction of material with the potential to compromise ECCS capability. Further enhancements to drywell cleanliness practices are planned to reduce the potential for foreign material entering the torus.

Trending in terms of water cleanliness and pump suction pressures are in place and will continue in order to monitor water quality with respect to this issue. Suppression pool cleaning is scheduled for RFO #11. ' This and subsequent cleaning / inspection are intended to be consistent with BWROG guidance with respect to items such as sludge generation rate and cleanliness criteria. Pilgrim is active in the BWROG committee and intends to participate Page 28 of 34

2\ ATTACHMENT 2 SCHEDULEB aggressively in the development of the Utility Resolution Guide (URG) currently being de < eloped by the owners group.

Progress and Summary of Changes February 1,1996 - July 31,1996 Plans are being developed for the purpose of increasing design margin consistent with the Bulletin and Regulatory Guide identified above. Resources are being applied to the design and procurement of extended surface area passive strainers and the review of options related to minimizing material transport post LOCA. Pilgrim is active in the BWROG committee and intends to participate aggressively in the development of the Utility Resolution Guide (URG) currently being developed by the owncts group. Based on the Bulletin / Regulatory Guide and the URG, Pilgrim will make modifications to increase design margin at the earliest possible I

scheduled outage of sufficient duration to implement the respective modification. Based on the analytical and test data currently available, Pilgrim's licensing basis, and the BWROG preliminary recommendations, we would expect to install extended surface area passive strainers in RFO #11. In addition, we are ev ' ..ating the potential of modifying susceptible insulation. Our required 180 day response to the Bulletin / Regulatory Guide will provide specific detail.

Progress and Summary of Changes - August 1,1996 - January 31,1997 There are no significant changes to the commitments identified or referenced above.

Pilgrim continues to move forward with the design and installation of passive, extended surface area ECCS suction strainers in RFO #11 (February 1997). The installation of the new strainers willincrease design margin relative to the existing licensing basis. The new strainers will be installed per our design change process under 10CFR50.59 since the modification represents a design change improvement within our current licensing basis.

This modification may represent Pilgrim Station's final resolution of Bulletin 96-03. This determination will be made when the NRC formally approves either the BWROG Utility Resolution Guide (URG) or the Pilgrim specific design criteria. BECo Letter 97-012, dated February 7,1997, also communicates this intent.

Pilgrim's request for schedule extension, BECo Letter 96-092, remains in place primarily due to the lack of approved generic design criteria relative to Bulletin 96-03 and the uncertainties relative to installation of the strainers in the suppression pool during RFO #11. NRC response to this request has not been received.

Progress and Summary of Changes - February 1,1997 - July 31,1997 New ECCS suction strainers were installed during RFO #11. Engineering is working on its analysis of the new strainers in accordance with Bulletin 96-03.

SCHEDULE B ASSURANCE OF EQUIPMENT OPERABILITY AND INTEGRITY DURING DESIGN BASIS ACCIDENT CONDITIONS (GL 96 06)

Commitment Description Generic Letter 96-06 (GL) (Ref.1) requested licensees to determine the susceptibility of their facility containment air cooler water systems to either waterhammer or two-phase flow conditions during postulated accident conditions, determine the susceptibility of piping systems that penetrate the i

containment to thermal expansion of fluid and over pressunzation, and assess the operability cf affected systems and take corrective action, as appropriate, to satisfy system design and operability requirements. Licensees were requested to submit a written report within 120 days of the GL issuance.

Boston Edison responded to Generic Letter 96-06 in Reference 2, BECo Letter 97-06, dated January 28,1997.

The reactor building closed cooling water (RBCCW) system loop B provides the cooling water for the containment air coolers. The containment air coolers at Pilgrim Station do not perform any active safety-related function in response to any postulated design basis accidents. An evaluation of the RBCCW system inside containment subject to heating during design basis loss of coolant accidents was conducted and concluded the system is not susceptible to waterhammer or two-phase flow. The system is operable and corrective actions are not required, A review of drywell penetration piping was performed to determine the susceptibility of each line to thermal expansion of fluid such that thermal pressurization of the line could occur. As a result, Boston Edison committed to the following:

. Add PSV-4033 to the IST program and test or replace with a new relief valve during RFO #11.

Open Valves 1400-64A and 1400-63A during RFO #11 to prevent build-up of pressure in the line. (Complete)

Add a pressure relieving device to the drywell floor and drywell equipment sumps discharge lines ensuring pressure build-up due to fluid thermal expansion is limited. (Complete)
