| | Item I flow'measurement Item number (1) of your September 12 letter concerned alternatives for DSH 103 and DSN 104. Our investigation of flow measurement capabilities at these discharge points indicates that the existing methodology: |
| | accurately represents the flow from these points and is the most practical approach because: |
| | (a) the existing methodology is a volumetric technique based on the known volume of the container (sump and tank) and a level gauge for the level of liquid removed during discharge. The level 'etermining gauges for each discharge point are periodically calibrated. |
| | Accurate flow measurement from DSN 104 is a Nuclear Regulatory Commission requirement for determining the amount of radioactivity released from BFH; and (b) the discharge piping is buried in concrete, which makes retrofitting for alternative flow measurement instrumentation impracticable. |
| | Item 2 Item number (2) concerned the reporting of representative temperature data for DSH 105. Temperature data are not being reported for this discharge point because BFH is not operational (all units are in layup status) and not discharging through DSN 105. There has not been a discharge from DSN 105 since February 1987, as indicated by the monthly Discharge Honitoring Reports submitted to ADEN. Nhen operational, temperature data will be obtained utilizing thermal indicators located on the effluent side of the residual heat exchangers for each nuclear generation unit. This is the nearest accessible monitoring location after final treatment (heat exchangers) and prior to discharge to Haters of the United States. There are no additional sources of heat or significant heat reduction following monitoring, and the temperature data taken here will, therefore, be representative of the temperature of the water being discharged. Temperature data will be recorded in the nuclear plant's control room and retrieved from these recorders for reporting purposes. Should these recorders temporarily malfunction, temperature data can be obtained by manually grabbing a water sample from the discharge piping i of the heat exchangers for temperature measurement. Grab sampling has been utilized in the past due to recorder problems. However, instrumentation repair will be completed prior to startup, and we do nod anticipate the need for grab sampling for temperature at DSH 105 upon operation of BFH. |

ENCLOSURE TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY RESPONSE PERFORHANCE AUDIT INSPECflON REPORT OF BROMNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT (BFH)
Item I flow'measurement Item number (1) of your September 12 letter concerned alternatives for DSH 103 and DSN 104. Our investigation of flow measurement capabilities at these discharge points indicates that the existing methodology:
accurately represents the flow from these points and is the most practical approach because:
(a) the existing methodology is a volumetric technique based on the known volume of the container (sump and tank) and a level gauge for the level of liquid removed during discharge. The level 'etermining gauges for each discharge point are periodically calibrated.
Accurate flow measurement from DSN 104 is a Nuclear Regulatory Commission requirement for determining the amount of radioactivity released from BFH; and (b) the discharge piping is buried in concrete, which makes retrofitting for alternative flow measurement instrumentation impracticable.
Item 2 Item number (2) concerned the reporting of representative temperature data for DSH 105. Temperature data are not being reported for this discharge point because BFH is not operational (all units are in layup status) and not discharging through DSN 105. There has not been a discharge from DSN 105 since February 1987, as indicated by the monthly Discharge Honitoring Reports submitted to ADEN. Nhen operational, temperature data will be obtained utilizing thermal indicators located on the effluent side of the residual heat exchangers for each nuclear generation unit. This is the nearest accessible monitoring location after final treatment (heat exchangers) and prior to discharge to Haters of the United States. There are no additional sources of heat or significant heat reduction following monitoring, and the temperature data taken here will, therefore, be representative of the temperature of the water being discharged. Temperature data will be recorded in the nuclear plant's control room and retrieved from these recorders for reporting purposes. Should these recorders temporarily malfunction, temperature data can be obtained by manually grabbing a water sample from the discharge piping i of the heat exchangers for temperature measurement. Grab sampling has been utilized in the past due to recorder problems. However, instrumentation repair will be completed prior to startup, and we do nod anticipate the need for grab sampling for temperature at DSH 105 upon operation of BFH.
