Docket No. 50-322 Mr. John D. Leonard, Jr.

Vice President-Nuclear Operations Long Island Lighting Company Shoreham Nuclear Power Station P.O. Box 618, North Country Road Wading River, NY 11792 l

SUBJECT:

CORE SPRAY INJECTION VALVE LOW PRESSURE PERMISSIVE LOGIC AND SET POINT (TAC N0. 64121)

RE: SHOREHAM NUCLEAR POWER STATION The original Shoreham core spray system design opened the loop injection valve (M0V-033) following actuation of a LOCA signal based on a differential pressure detector signal (PDS-033) across the valve itself. This signal opens the valve at 450 psid and is arranged in a simple one out of one' logic. The core spray pump discharge pressure is about 290 psig, and, together with the 450 psid setting of PDS-033, would allow MOV-33 to open at a reactor pressure of about 740 psig. The piping upstream of the loop injection valve is designed for 500 psig only. If the loop injection check valve (1E26-F006 A or B) were to stick or leak, the core spray piping could be exposed to excessive pressures. On this basis, the staff has required that LILCO change the low pressure permissive interlock design to a design that would prevent overpressurization of the core spray piping, assuming a check valve failure.

In a letter dated February 18, 1983, LILCO committed to make these design changes before startup after the first refueling outage and to provide NRC the conceptual design for staff review before the modifications are implemented.

In a letter dated June 29, 1983, LILCO submitted the conceptual design modification to the core spray injection valve low pressure permissive logic.

The new logic uses absolute pressure rather than the differential pressure i across the injection valve. The proposed low pressure permissive setpoint is '

465 psig which is less than the 500 psig design pressure.

i In a letter dated January 27, 1989, LILC0 informed the staff that GE has reviewed the new design and concluded that the change would have a negligible (less than 1*F) impact on the peak cladding temperature in the ECCS analysis. .

Since the proposed modifications impact on the analyses is minor, and will prevent overpressurization of the core spray piping, the staff concludes that 8905110168 890504 2 DR ADOCK 0500 1 (

conceptual design is acceptable. LILCO should proceed to implement this i design before startup after the first refueling outage per its February 18, 1 1983 comitment.
