Subject:
Zion Nuclear Powar Station Units 1 and 2 Proposed Amendment to Facility Operating License Nos. DP-39 & DP-48 NRC Docket Nos. 50-295 & 50-304 TAC Noss 55417 & 55418
Reference:
February 21, 1986 letter from p.C. LeBlond to H.R. Denton Gentlemen: The referenced letter transmitted a proposed amendment to Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-39 and DPR-48, Appendix A, Section 3.9 and 4.9 - Containment Isolation. Those proposed changes impose restri-tions on containment purge and vent operations and on the maximum purge valve position. Subsequent telecoriferences with J.A. Norris and other members of the NRC Staff have resulted in a need for additional information regarding the quality cf material used to form the valve seats for the containment pressurization and vacuum reliet isolation valves (AOV-kV0005 and AOV-RVG006). The enclosed design handbook provides detailed technical information regarding the material used to form the valve seat of the containment pressurization and vacuum reliuf isolation valves at Zion W Station. These valve seats are manufactured from TEFZEL produced by the DuPont Corporation. Valves containing this raaterial have been installed on Unit 1 in valves lAOV-RV0005 and 1AOV RV0006 during the Fall, 1986 refueling outage. These valves are anticipated to experience long lives due to the mild environment in which they have been installed. Temperatures and prest,ures are not severe during normal operation. The fluid media is air and fewer than 1b0 cycles are anticipated annually. These valves are also to be I installed on Unit 2 during the Fall, 1988 refueling outage. I i l 87070B0337 870629 ADOCK0500g5 DR I 0 0 kl =
, k A post installation test was performed on the Unit I valves during the Fall 1986 refueling outage. During this test each valve was individually subjected to a differeratia', pressure of 50 psig of air. No i leakage was detectede Any further questions arise regarding this matter please direct them to this office. Very truly yours, h P. C.

"Tefzel" Film Available in a wi:le range of thick-G0neral Properties nesses for electrical, chentical and rdene applications. of "Tefzel" Q. "Tefzel" can best be described as a rugged thermoplastic with an outstandmg balance of properties. Mechanically, it is tough, has medium stiffness (200,000 psi), excellent flex life, impact, cut-through and abrasion resistance. The glass fiber reinforced compound ("Tefzel" 70G-25) has even higher tensile strength (12,000 psi), stiffness (950,000 psi), and creep resistance, but is still tough and impact resistant. Thermally, "Tefzel" has a continuous temperature rating of 300*F (150*C). It can be used intermittently up to 200*C depending tn exposur'e time, load and environment. "Tefzel" 700-25, based on less complete data, appears capable of useful service at 392*F (200*C). "Tefzel" is weather resistant, inert to most solvents and chemicals, and hydrolytically stable. It has excellent resistance to high energy radiation. Electrically, "Tefzel" is an excellent !ow loss didec-iric, with a uniformity of electrical properties not normally found with other thermoplastics. "Tefzel" extrudes or injection molds easily using conventional techniques and thus presents no unusual operator traming problems. Corrosion resistant equip-ment is recommended for extended production runs. "Tefzel" can perform successfully 'in applications where other materials are lacking in mechanical tough-ness, broad thermal capability, ability to meet severe environmental conditions, or limited by fabricating problems. As is the case with all new developments, a thorough prototype and test program is recommended to insure a successful performance of "Tefzel" compositions m y) specific applications. 6 1
