Dear Mr.Crutchfield:

Previous RGSE letters dated April 9 and April 17, 1984 described the interim actions that RGSE will take until full compliance with 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix R is achieved.Interim actions inside the containment building were not proposed or addressed in the earlier letters for the following reasons.Significant fire protection features have been installed inside the containment which provide an adequate level of safety.Area fire detection has been provided as well as detection which covers specific hazards.Detection is provided over the reactor coolant pumps and thermister wire detectors are provided in all cable trays that have a significant cable loading.Detection and automatic suppression capability is also provided for the post accident charcoal filters inside the containment'wo manual hose stations have been installed on each floor elevation to provide additional suppression capability. Pire hazards inside containment have been minimized to the extent possible.Each reactor coolant pump motor has been modified to add an oil collection system which will divert any spilled or leaked oil away from hot surfaces and direct it to a collection tank.Only three instrument circuits have been identified as requiring modifications inside containment to achieve compliance with Appendix R.One of these circuits is source range nuclear instrumentation. Boron sampling will provide adequate redundant capability to confirm reactor shutdown at least during the interim period requested in the schedular exemption. The other two circuits are located in a low hazard area separated from piping systems that operate at high temperature during power operation. 'The containment building is generally inaccessible during operation so that the fire hazard resulting from transient combustibles or resulting from modification or construction work is very low.8405040229 840427 PDR ADOCK 05000244 F PDR PyaC l/p ~~4 I~~~~k~N E ROCHESTER GAS AND ELECTRIC CORP.pATE Apri l 27, 1 984 To Mrs Dennis M.Crutchfield SHEET NO.Therefore, adequate fire protection features have been provided and the existing fire hazard inside containment is sufficiently low such that no interim actions are required.er truly yours, R er W.Kober Ill'H,>>,,as~-.ss~aa l./d.Fi<m~~4 I 4L r C}}
