INTERIM REPORT                    f   \
SIGNIFICANT CONSTRUCTION DEFICIENCY No. 64 SAFETY INJECTION TANKS, DISCHARGE FLOW RATES l.
         /        Introduction This report is submitted pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55(e) . It. describes a condition relative to the Yate of blowdown for Safety Injection tanks IA, 1B an;l 2B encountered.during preoperational testing. The blowdown' rates fell below the minimum predicted rate established by Combustion Engineering. This{ problem sis considered reportable under the requirements of :0 CFR 50.55(e). To the best of our knowledge, this problem has not been id.intified to the' Nuclear Regulatory Commission pursuant to 10 CFR 21.                             !
                       ~
Description During preoperational testing the duration of blowdown for Safety Injection tanks IA, 1B and 2B was approximately 137 seconds for each tank. The maximum predicted duration of blowdown was approximately 101 seconds. Safety Injection Tank 2A performed within the-acceptable range of blowdown. This deviation is attributed to the installation of spring loaded check valves installed in the vertical portion of the discharge piping on all three (3) tanks. The high flow resistance of these valves resulted in the extended duration of blowdown.
The fourth tank did not require a spring loaded check valve since the check valve was installed in a horizontal pipe run, and thus a conventional swing check valve with a lower flow resistance was installed.
Safety Implications            ,
Preliminary analysis by Combustion Engineering indicates that the extended blowdown times for these three (3) tanks would not impact on plant safety.
However, portions of the plant safety. analyses must be repa*; formed to establish a maximum allowable PLHR. The extent of this analysis is significant.
Corrective Action As noted above, Combustion Engineering will be directed to reperform the plant' safety analysis. The reanits of this analysis will reestablish the acceptability of the present system design.
Final Report Submittal Date It is anticipated that Combustion Engineering's analysis will be completed and the Final Report submitted by March 28, 1983.
