Inservice Pump and Valve Testing Program R.E.Ginna Nuclear Power Plant Docket No.50-244

Dear Mr.Johnson:

In accordance with requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Section 50.55a, paragraph (g), we have enclosed the Ginna Station Inservice Pump and Valve Testing (IST)Program for the January 1, 1990 through December 31, 1999 interval for your review and approval.This program will direct surveillance requirements delineated in Technical Specifications Section 4.2 for the Inservice Pump and.Valve Testing Program.The enclosure is entitled"Appendix C Inservice Pump and Valve Testing Program for the 1990-1999 Interval." This program closely parallels the recently revised RGGE IST program for 1989 endorsed by your letter dated May 3, 1989.In accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a paragraph (g)(4)(ii), this program is based on the 1986 Edition of ASME Section XI".The enclosed 10 year submittal was reviewed to positions delineated in Attachment 1 bf USNRC Generic Letter 89-04 issued.on April 3, 1989'.The program complies with positions of Attachment 1 with one possible exception.

Position 4 of Attachment 1 would.require two series check valves in Event V configurations to be individually tested.The Ginna.configura-tion for Safety Injection to each Reactor Coolant System Hot Leg contains two series check valves in series with a locked closed, deenergized motor operated.valve.The motor operated valve is leak tested along with a leak test conducted on the check valves in series.An evaluation.

has been initiated.

to determine if this is a discrepancy.

The resolution, to be provided.prior to August.1, 1989, will either involve further clarification to Technical Specifications, further clarification of this submittal or a commitment to a future modification.

3906050144 8'F0523 PDR AGOCK 05000244 P PDC Generic Letter 89-04, Attachment 1-Position 11 identifies examples of valves and pumps or valve groups that have generally and erroneously been omitted from IST programs.Such items are included in the program as Management directed upgrades or from a good Engineering practice standpoint, when they are applicable to RGGE's System Selection Criteria.The following EGGG response numbers documented in our submittal dated December 20, 1988 substantiate the exclusion of some of these examples from the IST Program.Position 11 reference EG&G Response Number Control Room Chilled Water Accumulator MOVs/Vents Auxiliary Przr Spray Boric Acid Transfer Pumps Valves in Emergency Borate Flowpath H-2 E-10 B-1 B-7;2-7 B-7;2-7 Since our December 20, 1988 response to the 99 EGGG questions provided in your June 21, 1988 letter to Mr.R.W.Kober, a change in our response to Questions B-2, B-5, D-4, E-3, E-5, F-4, L-1, P-6 and P-9 has occurred.as follows: The B-2 and B-5 responses indicated that valves 204A, 427 and 820 were to be tested as either pressure or containment isolation valves.With the reclassification of letdown isolation valves 200A, 200B, 202 to serve as both pressure and containment isolation functions, valves 204A, 427 and 820 are not required to be included.in the IST program.The D-4 response indicated that full stroke.exercising flow rates for CCW valves 723A and B was 2500 GPM.Subsequent evaluation indicates that these valves will be partial stroke tested.to 2500 GPM quarterly and.full stroke tested.to 2980 GPM at cold shutdown.This is due to system configuration and test methods available at power.The E-3 response indicated full stroke exercise for SI pump discharge check valves 870A, 870B, 889A 6 889B would occur during cold shutdowns.

Due to low temperature overpres-surization concerns for the reactor coolant system, a refueling frequency is now proposed consistent with relief request VR-11.The E-5 response indicated full stroke exercise for safety injection system pressure isolation valves 878G and 878J would occur during cold shutdowns.

Due to low temperature overpressurization concerns for the reactor coolant system a refueling frequency is now proposed consistent with relief request VR-10.

The F-4 response indicated.

that safety injection recir-culation and, test line return valves 897 and 898 would be exercised at cold shutdown as they were blocked open during normal operation.

During the 1989 outage the air operated valves were replaced with motor operated valves permitting quarterly testing in accordance with the Code.~The L-1 response provided a test method for closure verification of Main Feedwater check valves 3992 and 3993.An alternate method, has been developed to test the valves during routine cold or refueling shutdowns involving a pressure drop verification.

This will be used in lieu of the method previously described.

For unscheduled shutdowns resulting from a plant trip, a relief request is provided.to allow deferral of testing to the next planned cold shutdown or refueling.

~The P-6 response indicated that valve 857C was a passive valve which is kept locked open with power removed.During the 1989 outage the RHR to SI system cross-connect valves were upgraded.Valve 857C is now maintained closed and is required to open for high head safety injection re-circulation.

This valve has been included in the program and will be exercised.

in accordance with the Code.~The P-9 response indicated that valve 822A had a safety function and would be added, to the revised IST program as a Category A Class boundary valve.Subsequent review has determined.

that valve 822A is not a containment isolation valve, therefore negating,its need to be included in the IST'rogram.

Consideration was given to evaluating time and resources needed for an adequate pump and.valve review to current criteria and guidelines established in Generic Letter 89-04.It was estimated that one year and, approximately 2500 man-hours, as a minimum, would be required.for existing programs.Very truly yours, Robert C.Me dy General Manager, Nuclear Production RCMhcemh114 0 C II'
