SUBJECT:
COMANCHE PEAK STEAM ELECTRIC STATION (CPSES)
DOCKET NOS. 50-445 AND 50-446 FIRE EFFECTS ON INSTRUMENT TUBING SDAR: CP-86-16 (INTERIM REPORT)
Dear Mr. Johnson:
On March 21, 1986, we verbally notified your Mr. R. Hall of a deficiency involving the detrimental effects of low melting point metals (zine) on stainless steel instrument tubing during a fire. This is an interim report of a potentially reportable item under the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e). Our latest interim report, logged TXX-5014, was submitted on September 17, 1986.
The significance of stainless tubing in direct contact with galvanized material (zine) such as Unistrut supports and clamps during a fire is currently being evaluated by Engineering. Field verification efforts to identify galvanized hardware utilized for supporting instruments required for fire safe shutdown have been completed.
A testing program has been developed for the detection of zinc surface contamination of the instrument tubing. The results of this program will allow evaluation of possible deleterious effects of zinc contamination. The testing program and the subsequent evaluation is expected to be completed by December 31, 1986.
We anticipate submitting our next report by January 21, 1987.
Very truly yours, 8610310211 861020 ff/gf PDR ADOCK 0D000445 s PDR W. G. Counsil JCH/mlh c - NRC Region IV (0 + 1 copy)
