The information provided in your response to Action Item e of IE Bulletin 85-03 was found to be deficient in some areas.

Please provide the additional information necessary to resolve the following comments and questions:

1. Has water hammer due to valve closure been considered in the determination of pressure differentials?

If not, please explain.

2. Please explain why the following MOVs are not included in of the response of 10-17-86, or revise Attachment 2 to include them.

As required by Action Item a of the bulletin, assume inadvertent equipment operations.

(a) FW-100i(-200A) and FW-100C(-200C) are shown normally open in discharge lines of the AFW pumps, near the lower left corner of UFSAR Figure 10.4-7, Revision 2, 6/84.

Note that similarly located FW-100B(-200B) and FW-100D(-200D) are listed.

(b) 1275A(2275A), 1275B(2275B), 1275C(2275C), 1381(2381) and 1373(2373) in miniflow lines leading from the charging pumps to the seal water heat exchanger are shown normally open, on UFSAR figures 9.3-41 and 9.3-44 Similarly located valves are listed for five other Westinghouse three-loop facilities.

ENCt.050RE 2

(c) 1287A(2287A),1287B(22878),1287C(2287C),1869A(2869A), and 1869B(2869B) in safety. injection lines of the charging pumps to the hot legs are shown, on UFSAR figurea 9.3-41 and 9.3-44.

3. Please expand the proposed program for action items b, e and d of the bulletin to include the following details as a minimum:

(a) commitment to a training program for setting switches, maintaining valve operators, using signature testing equipment and interpreting signatures, (b) commitment to justify continued operation of a valve determined to be inoperable, and-(c) description of a method possibly needed to extrapolate valve stem thrust measured at less than maximum differential pressure.
