TO PREVENT RECURRENCE 5 Exhibit 1 -Same Source 10CFR50.59 EVALUATIONS MONTH: OCTOBER 1994 DOCKET NO: UNIT NAME: 50-272 SALEM 1 11/10/94 R.HELLER 609-339-5162 DATE: COMPLETED BY: TELEPHONE:

The following items were evaluated in accordance with the provisions of the Code of Federal Regulations 10CFR50.59.

The Station Operations Review Committee has reviewed and concurs with these evaluations.

1. Discrepancy Evaluation Form (DEF) DES-90-01600 Component DE-CB-CB.AN-0049 (Q), Open Item 13 -No document has been found to confirm that testing was performed to determine extent of hydrogen generation.

-At the present time, Section 6.2.5.1.5 of the Salem UFSAR discusses the extent of hydrogen generation from a particular paint, (Phenoline 305 made by Carboline) being exposed to gamma radiation (ionizing radiation).

The NSSS (Westinghouse Electric Corporation) stated that their original test results done in the early 1970's showed no hydrogen was produced from exposing this paint to gamma radiation.

Westinghouse, however, was unable to locate the original test document that outlined the test results quoted; and, PSE&G has no copy of the test or its results. Therefore, Westinghouse has since written a letter to PSE&G stating that no elemental hydrogen would be generated from exposing the paint in question to gamma radiation.

Technical Specification Sections 3/4.6.1.6.1

-Containment surfaces and 3/4.6.4 -Combustible gas control mention nothing about hydrogen being produced from paint exposed to gamma radiation.

Furthermore, as no hydrogen would be produced if the paint were exposed to ionizing radiation, there can be no impact to the margin of safety as defined in the basis for the Technical Specifications.

2. Design Change Packages (DCP) lEE-0085, Pkg. 1 lEC-3370, Pkg. 1 Change the Section I code boundary of the feed water system from the BF3 Valves to the BF19 valves. This will bring the boundary in line with Section 1, Figure PG-58.3.1 "Code Jurisdictional limits for Piping Drum type Boilers", and the PSE&G commitment to the State of New Jersey. This change affects the non-safety related portion of the Feedwater System. It changes the boundary of the Section I, boiler external pipe jurisdiction.

It makes no other changes. There is no reduction in the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any Technical Specification. (SORC 94-077) Replace the existing low pressure copper-nickel tube bundles ofMSR llW, 12W, 13W (Component ID #IMSE8, IMSEI 1, and IMSE14, respectively) with new stainless steel tube bundles. Modify the L.P. MSR bundle channel cover and MSR shell man-ways to accept a spiral wound gasket in lieu of a welded diaphragm seal. Replace six main steam coil drain tank high level dump valves (valve Nos. 1 IRD 36, 12RD36, 13RD36, 1 IRD3, 12RD3 and 13RD3) with leak tight shut-off valves. Valve material is Moly. Install stainless steel strainers and support upstream of the RD-3 and RD-36 valves. Replace the piping from the strainer to condenser with stainless steel piping, and high pressure 4th pass drain pipe with Chrome-moly piping. The only failure modes of the proposed low pressure tube bundles are leakage and rupture. There are no other known failure modes. This is the same as for the present bundles. Any low pressure tube rupture accident will be very remote after the proposed tube bundles are installed, due to improved L.P. tube bundle mechanical design. and improved stress and corrosion resistance.

Any small loss of steam would be directed to the L.P. turbine, and then to the condenser.

As such, there are no requirements of the MSR system imposed by the Technical Specifications and no reduction in the margin of safety. (SORC 94-077) lEC-3323, Pkgs. 1&2 Service Water Large Bore Pipe Replacement

-Service Water Intake Structure Bays 1 & 3 -These DCPs were initiated to replace Service Water Piping in Service Water Intake Structure Bays 1 & 3. It involves the replacement of carbon steel cement or coal tar lined pipe with 6% Molybdenum Austenetic Stainless Steel pipe. This modification upgrades the Service Water System pipe material.

There is no reduction in the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any Technical Specification. (SORC 94-078) lEC-3322, Pkgs. 1&2 Service Water Large Bore Pipe Replacement

-Auxiliary Building -Headers 11&12 -These DCPs were initiated to replace Service Water Piping in the Auxiliary Building -Headers 11&12. It involves the replacement of carbon steel cement or coal tar lined pipe with 6% Molybdenum Austenetic Stainless Steel pipe. This modification upgrades the Service Water System pipe material.

There is no reduction in the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any Technical Specification. (SORC 94-078) lEC-3336, Pkg. 1 Steam Generator Thermal Sleeve Upgrade -This project involves modification of the existing Steam Generator feedwater nozzle thermal sleeves and adjacent piping at all four of the Salem Unit 1 Steam Generators.

The modifications are required to eliminate cracking in the weld counterbore area which occurred twice in the present configuration.

The modified corifiguration employs a single piece tuning fork forging fabricated from SA 508 Class 2 material.

The design eliminates the thickness discontinuity 10CFR50.59 EVALUATIONS MONTH: OCTOBER 1994 DOCKET NO: UNIT NAME: 50-272 SALEM 1 11/10/94 R.HELLER 609-339-5162 DATE: COMPLETED BY: TELEPHONE: (Cont'd) ___ _ 11::::=1::::::::::f:::::::::::::::n1:::::::]::::=::r:I:::::i:]::::1:::::]:]:]]]::l::::::::::1::]:]:::::]:::::::=:*:::::::::,:::::::]::::::=:===::]:::]:::::§-1:::::=:::=::::,::::::::I::,::::::r::::::::]:::::]::::::::::::r:t]::r:::::1:::::r:::::11 in the nozzle to piping weld, completely eliminates the reducer to elbow weld, and moves the elbow to pipe weld past the stratified zone. The design also provides erosion/corrosion protection of the feedwater piping and the existing thermal sleeve. There is no reduction in the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any Technical Specification. (SORC 94-080) 3. Temporary Modifications (T-Mods) T-Mod 94-085 T-Mod 94-083 Temporary.Movement ofBlowdown Analyzer Drains Receiver -The purpose of this T-Mod is to temporarily move the Blowdown Analyzer Drains Receiver to allow for passage oflarge spool piping required during accomplishment ofDCP lEC-3322 Pkg. 2. There are no Technical Specifications applicable to the drain receiver tank or its function.

There is no reduction in the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any Technical Specification. (SORC 94-078) Control Air IA Header Jumper Installation

-This modification installs a mechanical jumper in place of containment isolation valve 11CA330. UFSAR Section 6.2.4 describes that in order to prevent the release of radioactivity to the outside environment in the event of a LOCA, there are two barriers at each penetration, on inside containment and one outside containment.

Since this Mod will be implemented in Modes 5, 6 or undefined, this requirement does not apply. UFSAR Section 15 was also reviewed and the proposed modification will not increase the probability of a There is no reduction in the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any Technical Specification. (SORC 94-081) ldCFR50:59 EVALUATIONS MONTH: OCTOBER 1994 DOCKET NO: UNIT NAME: 50-272 SALEM 1 11/10/94 4. Safety Evaluations MRS-2.4.2-GEN38 A-O-ZZ-NSE-0838-0 DATE: CO:l\1PLETED BY: TELEPHONE:

R. HELLER 609-339-5162 Steam Generator Shot Peening -Shot peening of the hot leg side steam generator tubes is being proposed at Salem Generating Station during lRl 1 and 2R8. The shot peening will be performed by Westinghouse under their field procedure MRS-2.4.2-GEN38.

The intent of the shot peening process is to increase the margin of resistance in the areas of the tubes within the tub sheet transition region that are susceptible to primary water stress cracking corrosion (PWSCC). The shot peening operation includes the shot peening of each tube through the tubesheet area, the transition area, and an increment of the unexpanded tube above the top of the tubesheet.

The margin of safety can be increased for tubes which are not degraded.

Corrosion testing has shown that the shot peening process will significantly retard the development of PWSCC in uncracked tubes. The margin of safety will not be affected in tubes which have already experienced PWSCC at the tube expansion transition.

There is no reduction in the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any Technical Specification. (SORC 94-080) Design Change Exclusion Zone for Various Artificial Island Buildings

-The purpose of this evaluation is to identify structures and justify their position as being outside the scope of the Nuclear Jurisdiction (NAP 8 does not apply to modifications performed in these structures) as described in the Exclusion Zone Technical Standard.

The facilities and equipment installed in these facilities do not have an impact on the Operating Point, Analysis Assumption, Setpoint or Acceptance Limits as defined in the bases for any Technical Specification and has no interaction with facilities or equipment that has an impact on the Operating Point, Analysis Assumption, Setpoint or Acceptance Limits as defined in the bases for any Technical Specification.

-This generic safety evaluation is prepared to address plant part and component changes due to obsolescence, unavailability, and subsequent document update of the Salem and Hope Creek SARs. The replacement of equivalent plant parts and/or components authorized by this generic evaluation, will meet or exceed all the original operating characteristics, specifications and design requirements, as documented in the required Equivalency Evaluation.

Since no design specifications will be degraded, the NRC's prescribed operating limits that provide sufficient operating range such that the acceptance limits are not exceeded during plant operations and analyzed transients, will not be affected.

Since the acceptance limits will not be exceeded, there is no impact on the margin of safety. (SORC 94-081)
