Perry Nuclear Power Plant Docke t No. 50-440 Environmental Qualification Inspection Followup Information

Dear Mr. Davis:

This letter is a follow up to the meeting conducted in your office on November 10, 1987.

It was requested that we supply additional information for qualification of ITT actuators and shipping caps installed on Limitorque grease relief valves.

Attached 'is additional inf ormation on the requested topics, g

L with a report to follow on the ITT actuator.

t Very truly yours; j

ITT ACTUATORS i

I Initial Concern:

Ddring.the NRC. Audit, it vas identified that the LOCA containment peak pressure environment was not enveloped by the qualification package test report.for the ITT Actuators.

lImmediate Action:

A.r'eview of pressure requirements and the auditable file package vas

. performed.

It was' determined that the finding was valid and the auditor was 1

. informed that, in the'vorst case, consequences of failure were that.the ITT actuator would fail closed following an electrical short (safe condition).

.This was accepted ~and the test data for the fail safe condition was added to the ITT test report and auditable file.

a.

Operability:

On August 11:the NRC requested further information on the operability of other

. equipment on.the same electrical bus as the ITT actuator. As requested

~further. review was performed. The review results concluded that no other equipment operability was impacted due to circuit design (double fuse) and this information was provided to the NRC.

==

Conclusion:==

Initial review concluded that the actuator'could fail with no safety consequences however,'PNPP has reviewed data from an ITT qualification report 730.1>.140. (Rev. 4) which provides'for qualification of the actuator. The report tested the actuator.vith an unsealed conduit configuration in' addition i

-to applying.a'6 psig pressure. : The design rating (NEMA 4) of the actuator, in j

addition to being a completely " sealed" configuration at Perry, adequately protects the equipment during a LOCA.- The PNPP environmental conditions are

-enveloped by the 730.1.140 report with the exception of 3 seconds, (peak pressure of 8 8 psig) during the LOCA. This 3 second period would not J

increase the relative volume of environment that could have entered the 1

1 unsealed' configuration. Therefore, it is our position that the PNPP J

environmental configuration is less severe than an unsealed configuration.
