Docket No. 50-443 July 23, 1987 Memorandum For:
File tdfNrses,ActingDirector,ProjectDirectorateI-3, From:
A Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, NRC
Subject:
Information provided Ed Reis, OGC-Bethesda, On the Status of Certain Licensing Actions On July 21 and 23, 1987, I informed Ed Reis of the status of certain licensing actions to be taken by Public Service Company of New Hampshire (PSNH).
This information regarding the status of certain EQ and SPDS actions was to be used in preparation of his testimony to be given before the Atomic Safety and Licensing Appeal Board.
l Specifically, I noted to Ed Reis that no formal follow-up audit has as yet been performed of the PSNH EQ files.
However, while I was at the Seabrook site on July 22 and 23, 1987, I reviewed the EQ files that the NRC found in their audit of February 1986 to contain deficiencies and found that i
these deficiencies were corrected with the following qualifi-cation.
The staff noted that in file number 113-03-01 PSNH should update to include the test information that was provided during the audit justifying use of the Okonite cable in Seabrook's design basis events. Also in file number 236-11-06, the staff noted that PSNH agreed to add clarifying test report dtta to the equipment summary evaluation.
Since I did not have the staff's actual comments on these specific files it was not possible to directly verify that the appli-cant incorporated these items into the files.
However, in each case I found information in the revised EQ files that corresponded to the subject matter (e.g.,
test information, test report data) and to a period of time subsequent to the audit that would lead me to believe PSNH did incorporate the staff comments.
Before reviewing the files, I had reviewed the documents (SSERs 5 and 6, Meeting Summary of the 2/86 EQ audit, EQ testimony before the ASLB on 9/19/86, certain PSNH letters to the NRC on EQ matters, Region I Inspection Report 50-443/86-20) pertaining to the deficiencies in order to ascertain that these deficiencies were in fact corrected.
The deficiencies pertaining to the EQ files that I verified were corrected are identified in the meeting summary of the I

f 2/86'EQ au'dit (copy attached) and supplemented by Table 3.1-of SSEP. 5 as modified in a table on page 7 of the testimony of J. M. Salvo, G. S. Thomas and N. K. Woodward on NECNP con-tention I.B.2 presented to the-ASLB on September 19,-1986 (the table is attached).
Regarding the rearrangement of the containment isolation status indicator lights, I informed Ed Reis that that the. rearrangements were completed.
"I"""(Iobserved the I
rearrangements, I noted that:the status indicator light matrix contained certain blank designations which did not light up.
This arrangement was not satisfactorily readable from the prime SPDS location.
It was.not easily determinable-that the non-lighted display was one of the blank designa-tions or.whether it was an actual failure of a component r.eeded in the containment isolation function.- The correction was to have the total display light up if there was no com-failure in the isolation function mode; therefore,;
ponent as a result of a dark individual display it required operator action to ascertain what failed.

Public Service Company of New Hampshire (PSNH)
FACILITY:
Seabrook Station, Unit 1 and 2 l
SUBJECT:
MEETING
SUMMARY
l During the period February 24 through February 27, 1986, the NRC staff and its consultants f)om EG&G Idaho audited 12 equipment qualification (EO) files of Seabrook Station Unit 1.
All files were for equipment located in a harsh environment. As a result.of the audit, the staff and its consultants made the following observations and coments at an exit interview held at the Seabrook
. site on February 27,1986 (List of Attendees attached.)
1.
A cursory review of the Seabrook master list indicates that there are approximately 38 items remaining to be qualified. All equipment within the scope of 10 CFR 50.49 must be qualified prior to the issuance of an operating license.
-2.
During the plant walkdown it was discovered that there are three jumper wires and a teminal block in a Limitnrque motor operator (file no.
173-05-02) that could not be identified. This problem is noted in IE Information Notice 86-03. The applicant should review the entire Seabrook program to assure that similar circumstances do not exist i
for other Limitorque motor operators. Provide information on all corrective actions that have been or will be' taken in order to maintain qualifications.
3.
The staff is not in agreement with the way the Arrhenius equation was used to calculate post-accident operability time. The applicant must j
provide acceptable justification or recalculate post-accident operability
.l time using only the portion of the test profile that represents the 1
post-accident period. This correction should be made fnr the entire Seabrook environmental qualification program, l
i I
4.
During the plant walkdown it was discovered that an ASCO solenoid valve had two different equipment identification numbers attached to it. This situation can serve as a ma,ior source of confusion that could produce adverse affects on plant safety.
Therefore, the applicant must review the Seabronk program to assure that this situation does not exist with other equipment, j
The following comments are specific to individual EQ files as indicated.
i However, the applicant must update all files to incorporate these comments
)
where applicable.

(File number 113-03-01, Okonite Cable)
This file should be updated to include the test information that was provided l
during the audit,iustifying use of this. cable in Seabrook's design basis 1
events.
(File number 174-15-01, Transamerica Level Transmitter 1 Applicant agreed to add information to this file.iustifying the use of a test sequence different from that specified in IEEE 323-1974.
l (File number f13-06-01, Brandrex Cable)
'l i
Applicant agreed to add a statement to specify that submergence qualification l
is not required.
(File number 236-11-06, Reliance Motor)'
Applicant agreed to add clarifying test report data to the equipment summary evaluation.
(File number 248-37-01, limitorque Motor Operator)
There are three internal wires and a terminal block that cannot be identified in the operator that was inspected during the plant walkdown. All of the components that cannut be identified must be replaced with qualified components.
(File number NSSS-220-02, ASCO Solenoid Valvel The valve that was inspected during the plant walkdown had two different equipment identification numbers on it. This situation must be rectified.
In addition to the six file numbers noted above, the following were also audited:
File number 113-19-01, ITT-Suprenout Cable File number 118-03-01, Conax Conduit Seal Assembly File number 173-05-02, Rotork Motor Operator File number 252-16-02, Barton Transmitter File numver 252-30-01, Endevco Accelerometer and Charge Converter File number 600-02-01, Weidmiller Terminal Block Our evaluation of the applicant's EQ program, including the results of the audit will be provided as input to a future SER Supplement.
In a letter dated May. 5,1983 from G. W. Knighton, NRC, to R. J. Harrison, Public Service Company of New Hampshire, the staff provided guidance on staff requirements for environmental qualification of mechanical equipment.
The following is a reiteration of that guidance:
For mechanical equipment, the staff review will concentrate on materials which are sensitive to environmental effects, for example, seals, gaskets, lubricants, fluids for hydraulic systems, diaphragms, etc.
A review and evaluation should be performed by the applicant that includes the following :
(1)
Identification of safety-related mechanical equipment located in harsh environment areas, including required operating time.
(2) Identification of non-metallic subcomponents of this equipment.
(3) Identification of the environmental conditions this equipment must be qualified for. The environments defined in the electrical equipment program are also applicable to mechanical equipment.
(4) Identification of non-metallic material capabilities.
(5) Evaluation of environmental effects.
The list of equipment identified should be submitted.
From this list the staff will select approximately three items of mechanical equipment for which documentation of their environmental qualification should be provided for review. Also, the results of the review should be provided for all mechanical equipment in harsh environment areas and corrective actions identified. Justification for interim operation must be submitted prior to fuel load for any mechanical equipment whose qualification cannot be established.
