2.) Replace the inlet guide vanes and their operators on the Fuel Handling Area exhaust fans No. 11 & 12. 3.) Remove the existing control loop instrumentation for the Unit 1 Fuel Handling Area supply fan (1VHE24) inlet guide vanes; 4.) Remove the Unit 1 Fuel Handling Area Truck Bay exhaust fan 1VHE23, damper 1VHE503; 5.) Install gravity type pressure relief damper 1VHE868 and fixed louver 1VHE503 in the truck bay areas; 6.) Replace the adjustable motor sheaves and V-belts for the Unit 1 Fuel Handling Area supply fan (1VHE24);
7.) Replace the adjustable motor sheaves and V-belts for the No. 11 & 12 Fuel Handling Area exhaust fans 1VHE20 & 1VHE21; 8.) Replace inlet and discharge flexible connections on the Unit No. 1 Fuel Handling Area supply fan (1VHE24) and the No. 11 & 12 Fuel Handling Area exhaust fans 1VHE20 & 1VHE21; 9.) Install new flow and static pressure test ports on fan inlet and discharge ducts; 10.) Install discharge screens on the supply air duct openings; 11.) Replace Fuel Handling Area differential pressure switches; 12.) The Fuel Handling Area humidity monitoring system will be abandoned in place (This was previously evaluated in Safety Evaluation S-C-M941-MSE-234, Rev. O) and the applicable documentation will be revised under this DCP to reflect this abandonment.
These modifications will not result in any changes to system operating parameters.
Therefore, this proposal will not reduce the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any Technical Specification. (SORC 93-105) 10CFR50.59 . MONTH: -'DECEMBER 1993 (cont'd)

SUMMARY
"Modification to Salem Unit 1 lE Distribution System & Circ. Water Switchgear" Rev. 1 -This package will provide the final connections between the two (2) new offsite power sources between the offsite transmission network and the Salem Unit #1 lE distribution system (Vital buses lA, lB & lC) and Unit #1 new CW switchgear.
This revision to the package increases the calibration tolerance on the degraded grid relays from -0 + .15 to+/- .5 VAC. This also requires a change in the trip value to 95.1%. The new values do not affect existing electrical minimum bus voltage (94.7%) or minimum bus relay voltage (97.0%). These modifications will improve the voltage profile on the vital and group busses. This has resulted in a change of the trip setpoint for the second level of undervoltage protection on the vital busses. This will increase the margin of safety between the setpoint value and the minimum allowable value and ensure safe operation of the vital equipment. (SORC 93-105) "AFll and AF21 Modifications (Trim Replacement)" Rev. 2 -It is proposed to reduce the maximum auxiliary feedwater flow rates, under certain plant conditions, delivered by the motor driven and turbine driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pumps (AFWP), by modifying flow control valves 11 thru 14AF11, and 11 thru 14AF21. The proposed design change consists of replacing the existing valve trim with a reduced capacity trim (anti-cavitation design). In addition, 12AF21, currently installed in the reverse direction will be installed in the correct configuration (flow to close) by turning it 180°. The AFW flow reduction is required to limit the containment peak pressure and temperature following a steam line break inside the containment, and thus preclude the potential violation of the containment safety limits (particularly pressure limit) for fuel cycle 12 and beyond. The anti-cavitation design of the replacement trim is expected to improve the operation of these flow control valves, -----------

. 50-272 SALEM 1 JANUARY 10, 1994 R. HELLER (609)339-5162 particularly AF21s, in the low flow range. Furthermore, reliability of the turbine driven AFW pump wi-11 be enhanced by minimizing the cavitation potential for the secondary side depressurization events. since the AFll and AF21 valves are oversized, the installation of reduced capacity trim in these valves will still assure the minimum flow delivery capability of the system under design basis conditions.
There will be no reduction in the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any Technical Specification. ( SORC 93-106) "Dose Assessment system Upgrade" -This DCP will upgrade the Dose Assessment System utilized IAW the Emergency Plan to monitor offsite radiological conditions during an emergency situation at Artificial Island. The Midas upgrade involves conversion of the current VAX/MicroVAX computer platform to a PC based platform.
PC equipment will replace the current Midas terminals located at the Technical Support Center (TSC}, the Emergency Offsite Facility (EOF}, the Operations I Support Center (OSC), and the Emergency
- Preparedness Training Facility (Beach House). The Dose Assessment System will also be integrated to the ERDS network which will facilitate automatic operations and eliminate the need for manual data entry, custom interfaces and software.
The Dose Assessment System Upgrade is being implemented to bring the Hope Creek and Salem plants into compliance with SPA-400-R-92-001 in accordance with New Jersey and Delaware state requirements and NRC guidelines.
There is no reduction in the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any Technical Specification. (SORC 93-108). "Service Water Pump Upgrade, No. 12 Pump" -The 1SWE2 replacement Service Water Pump wiil be compatible with brackish river water, able to withstand the high silt flows, and designed for a NPSHa at 76 feet river water level.

SUMMARY
parallel with the existing pumps, and will use the existing motor and floor opening. The new pump will be designed to operate over a wider range of flows based on past plant operating experience.
Minor modifications to the Service Water Intake Structure are required.
This includes the removal of the Seismic Restraint on Elevation 70 feet. The installation of a vortex suppressor on elevation 70 feet. The decommissioning and removal of the existing Service Water Pump's line shaft bearing lubrication supply piping. The replacement pump does not require line shaft bearing lubrication.
There is no reduction in the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any Technical Specification. (SORC 93-108) "Update Documents for 1500 Gallon Nitrogen Package" -This DCP is an As-Built change document that provides a basis for as-built conditions and updates the associated documentation.
Two low pressure bulk nitrogen packages (1WGE9 and lWGElO) are part of the nitrogen system and supplement the nitrogen bottled system (lWGEl). The bulk packages provide a large source of nitrogen for additional capacity and flexibility for plant operations and economics.
The nitrogen system provides several functions to the Waste Gas System. The 1500 Gallon Package (lWGElO) has been tagged out since 1984. The 600 Gallon Package (1WGE9) is fully operational.
The 1500 Gallon Bulk Liquid Nitrogen Package (lWGElO) is provided with a fill line or assembly used to accept liquid nitrogen from a vendor. The as-built conditions reflect only the drain valve 1NT144. The liquid nitrogen system is not discussed in the Salem Technical Specifications.
Therefore, the as-buit conditions of the fill line of lWGElO will not reduce the margin of safety as defined in the Technical Specifications. (SORC 93-109)

HELLER (609)339-5162 are made to several policies and procedures including management responsibilities, terminology for approval of radioactive material purchases, radioactive material release criteria, criteria for surveys upon receipt of radioactive material, evaluation of doses to non-RCA workers from storage of radioactive material, criteria for reporting theft or loss of radioactive material, and training requirements.
The revisions to this procedure do not relate to the design criteria, specifications, or operation of the fuel cladding, RCS boundary, or containment and do not address any margin of safety as described in Section B3/4.0. Therefore, the proposal does not reduce the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any Technical Specification. (SORC 93-108) "Operational Fire Protection Program" -Rev. 3 -The proposal invoives a full revision to the Nuclear Department Operational Fire Protection Program procedure.
This revision incorporates requests by the station to modify the section on hot work -control of ignition sources with regards to hot work performed over gratings and floor openings.
The current method of control has been modified to include specific steps to take besides that which is spelled out on the hot work permit. With this revision, there is no increase in the potential for damage to safety related equipment from fire nor are there any adverse effects to the ability of the plant to achieve and maintain safe shutdown in the event of a fire. There is no reduction in the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any Technical Specification. (SORC 93-108) "Nuclear Department Procedure System" Rev. 5 -Section 6.13 of NC.NA-AP.ZZ-OOOl(Q),"Nuclear Department Procedure System" was revised to read: shall, should, may and will. These words are used in procedure as follows: 1.)

Safety Evaluations (S'/E) TSl.IC-TI.RCS-OOOl(Q) "Evaluation of the ABB Combustion Engineering Rod Position Indication System" -The purpose of this proposal is to evaluate the ABB Combustion Engineering Rod Position Indication (CE RPI) system by installing it on several Salem Control Bank A and Control Bank D rods. This CE RPI evaluation will take place in Mode 3. RPI is not required in Mode 3. Rod movement is allowed, according to Tech Spec, in Mode 3 with only Rod Control's group demand counters operational.
This proposal does not affect Rod Control in any way. The Technical Specification bases for movable control assemblies defines operability for RPI and indicates that if the rods are maintained above the insertion limits, all accident analysis assumptions concerning rod positioning are valid. In addition, shutdown margin is maintained through boration such that even with two control banks fully withdrawn, Keff .remains less than .95. In that shutdown margin is assured and operability of RPI is not required, the margin of safety is not affected. (SORC 93-104) 10CFR50.59

SUMMARY
50-272 SALEM 1 JANUARY 10, 1994 R. HELLER (609)339-5162 "SAR Change Notice" -This change is an UFSAR documentation change only, to revise Section *9.0 of the UFSAR to reflect the existing Diesel Generator Day Tank level alarm and transfer pump control setpoints.
The UFSAR presently states that one of the two fuel transfer pumps is started when oil level in any day tank drops to one-third full. This in an incorrect statement since the existing setpoint as per field settings and other design basis documentation, for the primary transfer pump start is 33 inches. The total span of the tank is 48 inches therefore the actual pump start occurs when the tank is over two-thirds full. The UFSAR also presently states that should the primary pump fail and level drops to "one fourth capacity", that another level switch will give a "FUEL OIL DAY TANK LEVEL LOW" alarm and start the backup fuel transfer pumps. The setpoint for the low alarm and back up transfer pump start is presently set to 18 inches per field settings and other design basis documentation, which is more than one third tank capacity.
A technical specification minimum tank level exists and is located at 11.45 inches. The low alarm and back-up transfer pump setpoints should be set at a level at which the technical specification limit would not be exceeded given a negative instrument error. Setpoint calculation SC-DG009-0l has been performed and has acceptably analyzed both the existing primary pump start setpoint of 33 inches and the back-up pump start and low alarm setpoints of 18 inches. The proposed change will revise the UFSAR section to reflect the actual setpoints of 33 inches for the primary pump start and 18 inches for the low alarm and backup pump start. There is no reduction in the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any Technical Specification. (SORC 93-109)

The associated 10CFR50.59 evaluation addresses operability of the lB EOG without jacket water heaters pending arrival and installation of the proper heaters. The EOG will be operated in the interim with the jacket water heater holes plugged with pipe plugs and the heater breaker tagged. A Technical Specification Interpretation regarding operability of the EOG states that operation without jacket water heaters is not a concern provided lube oil is at the proper temperature.
This has been confirmed via a letter from the vendor which states the cold start capability would not be reduced providing the lube oil was at temperature and the aftercooler jacket water heater was inservice.
Thus the acceptance criteria that the EOG start and load within 10 seconds would not be affected during the period of the TMOD. There is no reduction in the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any Technical Specification. (SORC 93-109).
