' Gentlemen:

This submittal provides.information regarding the pressr.rizer-safety valve loop-seal temperatures at Beaver Valley, Unit No. 2, and satisfies our commitment as documented in our submittal dated January -

27,. 1989.

On-October-14, 1988, the NRC requested additional information to support their review 'of: NUREG-0737 item II.D.1; Relief and Safety Valve -Testing.

Our response (January 27, 1989) was complete for each quesuion except for item 8e.

Therein we committed to measure-the pressurizer safety valve loop-seal temperatures and compare the results with the assumptions of the thermal-hydraulic analysis of the-pressurizer safety / relief valve discharge. piping.

This analysis'is based on a

loop-seal temperature. of 400*F upstream of the safety-valves.

The. loop-seal temperatures were measured and all points exceeded' the 400*F assumed in the stress calculations and fluid calculations.

Therefore, the existing pipe stress and fluid calculations for forcing functions applied to safety valve discharge forces ~are acceptable

.In addition to. the above, we have re-evaluated the calculations

-cssociated with the PORV loop-seal temperatures to allow for lower temperatures.

The results. indicate we can operate the PORV's at a lower loop-seal temperature and that the thermal-hydraulic analysis

-results are still acceptable.

We have therefore lowered the' previously reported temperatures of 400*F, which are maintained by heat tracing, to the following values:
