SUMMARY

OF CHANGES, TESTS,' AND EXPERIMENTS FOR THE HOPE CREEK GENERATING STATION MONTH September 1999 The following items comp!ated during September 1999 have been evaluated to determine:

1. If the probability of occurrence or the consequences of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety previously. evaluated in the safety analysis report may be increased; or

2. If a possibility for an accident or malfunction of a different type than any evaluated previously in the safety analysis report may be created; or

3. If the margirs of safety as defined in the basis for any technical specification is reduced.

The 10CFR50.59 Safety Evaluations showed that these items did not create a new safety hazard to the plant nor did they affect the safe shutdown of the reactor. These items did not change the plant effluent releases and did not alter the existing ,

environmentalimpact. The 10CFR50.59 Safety Evaluations determined that no unreviewed safety or environmental questions are involved. l Design Changes Summary of Safety Evaluations 4HE-0294, Liquid Radwaste Flow Switch Replaced with Flow Indicating Switch.

This design change replaced a flow switch in the Liquid Radwaste system with a flow indicating switch. This design change will result in more reliable system performance.

The portion of the liquid radwaste system that is being modified is non-safety related, non-seismic, and does not impact any of the accidents discussed in the SAR. This design change does not introduce any new failure mechanisms. This design change j does not increase the possibility or consequences of any accident or malfunction, does not reduce the margin of safety, and, therefore, does not involve an Unreviewed Safety Question.

SUMMARY

OF CHANGES, TESTS, AND EXPERIMENTS

,_ FOR THE HOPE CREEK GENERATING STATION - Cont'd Temporary Modifications Summary of Safety Evaluations TMR 99-020, Control Room Temporary Electrical Power for Upgrade Work. The purpose of this temporary modification was to supply 480 VAC electrical power to operate a concrete cutting saw in the Control Room during the Control Room upgrade project. The temporary modification consisted on removing the doorknob, placing gasket material over the opening, slicing a slit in the center of the gasket material, and routing cable through the gasket material. This temporary modification was evaluated in accordance with 10CFR50.59 because the door in question is a Control Room Envelop boundary door. The 10CFR50.59 Safety Evaluation determined that there is no increase in unfiltered in-leakage through the door as a result of this temporary modification.

This temporary modification does not introduce any new failure mechanisms. This temporary modification does not increase the possibility or consequences of any accident or malfunction, does not reduce the margin of safety; and; therefore, does not involve an Unreviewed Safety Question.

Procedures Summary of Safety Evaluations There were no reportable changes in this category implemented during September 1999.
