The proposed repair involves welding cover plates over the ends of all 48 washer/nut assemblies to ensure that these pieces cannot become loose parts in the reactor coolant system and that the tie rods will remain in position for spacing of the baffle plates in the hoods. If a washer/nut assembly is pushed out away from the hood, implementation .of this proposed modification shall grind it flush with the dryer hoods to permit the cover plate to be attached.
SUMMARY
I. No. FSAR Section 4.1.2.4 discusses the steam dryer. In this section the moisture removal function of the dryer is described. The proposed modification has no effect on dryer performance. The proposed modification simply prevents the washer, nuts, and tie bar spacers from becoming loose parts. There is no effect on plant safety.

This change eliminates the remote manual control capability of the deluge sprinkler system from panel 2C650. Automatic actuation is unaffected. This ensures that a fire in the control room will not result in spurious operation of the HPCI and/or RCIC pump room deluge systems.
SUHHARY:
I. No. As per FSAR Section 9.5. 1.2.24 and FPRR Sections 6.2.2.4 and 4.5, the 'HPCI and RCIC pump rooms are provided with automatic deluge systems. This modification does not affect the automatic deluge system operation and local manual operation at deluge valve panels is left unchanged. Only remote operation of the deluge systems from the plant control room is being eliminated.
II. No. The deluge systems for HPCI and RCIC could have an impact on safe shutdown (per 10CFR50, Appendix R). The immersion of the HPCI and RCIC skids could result in short circuits of the turbine controls resulting in system failure. A manual actuation switch for each of these deluge systems was in the control room. Therefore, a control room fire could have resulted in loss of HPCI and RCIC. In the event of a control room fire, the response is to abandon the control room and bring the plant to safe shutdown from the Remote Shutdown Panel. In this scenario, RCIC is a system required for safety shutdown. Therefore, implementation of this modification eliminates the possibility of this type of system malfunction.
III. No.

SUMMARY
I. No. If the valve pressure boundary were breached, such as stem breakage, the consequences of the resulting leak are bounded by FSAR Section 6.2.4.3.2. 1. Evaluation against General Design Criteria 55 (Feedwater Line) which states that nonslam check valves (HV-F032A/B) are installed in the feed water lines which ensure the prevention of a significant loss of reactor coolant inventory and offer immediate isolation if a break occurs in the feedwater line.
II. No. FSAR Section 6.2.4.3.2. 1 states that nonslam check valves were installed to prevent a significant loss of reactor coolant inventory and immediate isolation if a break occurs in the feedwater line.
But the Feed System is expected to provide a water seal (FSAR Section 6.2.3.2.3. 1, Water Seals) to prevent a bypass leakage path for reactor coolant to areas not serviced by the Standby Gas Treatment system. Leakage resulting from a broken stem is bounded by Section 6.2.3.2.3. 1.5.c, which assumes a simultaneous large feedwater line rupture, loss of off site power, and a very large degree of core damage. It concludes that in an event with a large feedwater pipe rupture, the water seal could be restored in an acceptable time.

To eliminate vacuum breaker nuisance alarms, two states links are to be opened which defeats the vacuum breaker "open" alarm input from the valve. Opening the links will remove the high resistance circuit from the annunciator power supply, allowing the alarm to clear and be functional for the other valve in the division not already bypassed.
'SUHHARY:
, I. No. Defeating the alarm for an open vacuum breaker. does not inhibit the valves from performing their safety function. Vacuum breaker positions are verified twice per shift via Operations'urnover Sheets and, per Technical Specifications every seven days. This would ensure that no two in series valves are open which would create a direct path between the drywell and wetwell.
II. No. Defeating the input to the alarm from the D2 vacuum breaker does not affect the safety function or operability of the valve as discussed in Section 6.2 of the FSAR. The annunciator does not provide a safety related function, and its absence does not create any possibilities for accidents or malfunctions.
III. No. The existing annunciator problem (alarm in) does not affect vacuum breaker operability. Vacuum breakers are closed and operable as required by Technical Specification 3.6.3.

This change modifies the reactor cavity seals on Unit 2.
SUMMARY
I. No. In the unlikely event of the reactor cavity seal failure that allows the pool water to drain via the open gate between the fuel pool and the reactor well, the minimum pool level, i.e. the fuel transfer channel sill elevation, is still above the top of fuel assembly and provides assurance of water coverage at all times. FSAR Appendix 9A discusses only the loss of fuel pool cooling and subsequent boiling in the pool. The proposed action will not affect this analysis. In addition, the Instrument Air System which supplies the air,for the Reactor Cavity Seals is a non-guality, non-seismic system and has no safety-related function. This modification will actually improve the reliability of the Instrument Air Supply to the Rector Cavity Seals and subsequently will serve to decrease the probability of their failure.
II. No. The potential for and consequence of a Reactor Cavity Seal failure were previously evaluated. The, evaluation concluded that gross leakage of reactor cavity and spent fuel pool water should not result due to the seal failure. The FSAR does,not specifically address Reactor Cavity seal ring failure. The potential for and consequence of fuel pool drainage have been also previously evaluated and it was concluded that even if the pool level was, allowed to fall to the minimum level, the top of active fuel in the pool would still be submerged. The proposed action will actually improve the seal hose connection as well as the reliability of the hose and the seal.

This modification alters the action of three existing alarm relays in one of the control terminals (CT's) from the Vent'Stack Radiation Honitoring System and installs three new relays in the same CT for 'remote energization by the second CT of the system.
SUMMARY
I. No. This modification is to equipment which is not safety related. The use of redundant NC alarm contacts in the CT's improves the capability of the Vent Stack Radiation Honitoring System to annunciate system alarm conditions under some postulated failure modes (i.e., a loss of power or a malfunction to the Control Room CT). To this extent, the modification enhances rather than degrades operation of the system. The Vent Stack Radiation Honitoring System is a non Class 1E System. Since all modifications will be made within the boundaries of the existing system, the existing system separation between Class 1E and nonClass 1E systems, components, and structures will not be altered by this modification. The effects of this modification on the Appendix R analysis has been documented and been found to be acceptable.
II. No. The proposed changes add no new failure mechanisms which may compromise a system, considered in a FSAR accident analysis. The basic functional design and operation of the system remains unchanged since the function of the Vent Stack Radiation Honitoring System is unchanged. The system is not used to mitigate any FSAR Chapter 6 or 15 accident analysis and is not used for process control.

This change installs a bypass for installing wiring from the existing control circuitry for the HPCI test line to the CST Isolation valve HV-155-F011 to the GETARS for position indication.
SUMMARY
I. No. The safety function of the HPCI test line to CST Isolation valve HV-155-F011 is to ensure HPCI system injection when required. Valve HV-155-F008 provides a redundant function. This bypass does not affect the F008 valve. The only failure that could be proposed would be an electrical failure resulting in loss of control of the FOll valve preventing autoclosure or loss of other electrical components wired in HPCI Division 2 Relay Panel. The proposed change is no different than required wiring changes or jumper installations used during routine surveillance testing. This change no different than other GETARS ties from existing GETARS points to plant systems. This change can not affect the RCIC system since the FOll valve does not receive an autoclosure on RCIC initiation.
II. No. Failure of the FOll valve to close would have the same HPCI system effects regardless of the initiating event. An electrical failure as a result of this bypass would be no different than any failure of existing electrical equipment in the panel.

The proposed replacement valve has been designed and will be installed using the original specification, requirements, and codes, and NDE and ISLT will provide assurance of system integrity. Also, piping loads and stresses have been evaluated and found to be acceptable and within code allowable limits.

SUMMARY
I. No. There are no accidents or malfunctions in the FSAR that are specifically related to the HSL Plug. The specific event analyzed in the FSAR covering objects falling -onto'he core is the fuel handling accident described in Section 15.7.4. Other load drop accidents have been evaluated under PP&L's response to NUREG-0612.
While these events are not specifically referenced in the FSAR, they have been performed under the guidelines of PP&L's Heavy Loads program which has been reviewed and accepted by the NRC. Since the P.E. HSL Plug is used for testing at the LLRT pressure, subject to ejection due to improper installation or: component it is failure and, therefore, would be able to fall on the core, however, the HSL Plug is prevented from falling on the core when ejected by design.
II. No. The HSL Plug has been demonstrated by analysis to remain intact during a seismic event. The seismic analysis assumes that the plug is correctly installed per the P.E. plug installation procedure and is maintained in a correct installation by verification of proper rubber disc pressure prior to LLRT pressurization. Prior to disassembly of an SRV, an inboard HSIV or opening of both HSIV's, the plugs must be verified to be correctly installed. It is also designed to limit leakage from the reactor cavity through the HSL to less than 150 gpm, which is within the makeup capability available with -irradiated fuel in the RPV or in the spent fuel pool with the gates removed. With all of the fuel in the spent fuel pool and the gates installed the reactor cavity is isolated from the spent fuel pool.
III. No. No specific Technical Specification exists concerning the Hain Steam Line Plugs; however, Technical Specification 3/4.9.8 requires that a minimum water level of 22 feet be maintained above the reactor vessel flange. The modified/upgraded HSL Plug is designed so as to limit flow past the plug to less than 150 gpm if both the primary and secondary seals were to fail. This leakage value is within the makeup capability of plant systems available through implementation of plant off normal procedures.

This evaluation assesses flushing radioactive residue existing within the Recirc to RWCU suction drain lines and the vessel bottom head drain line.
SUNNARY:
I. No. The potential for larger water inventory losses from the RPV is minimal because (a) Vessel level and drywell SUMP/DWEDT levels will be monitored while the valves are open. (b) The isolation capability is not impaired since the valves are manually operated.
(c) The suction valve of reactor recirc. line can be closed to isolate the vessel. (d) The flushes will be of short duration (less than a minute) to prevent any large inventory losses and to safeguard against over-filling the drywell SUMPS/DWEDT.
II. No. This procedure involves operating equipment in its designated mode of operation. While it is classified as a OPDRV, the necessary precautions are taken to prevent draining the vessel. FSAR Section 6.3.1. 1. 1 encompasses vessel coolant losses of this magnitude, i.e.,
- the double ended break of the recirculation suction line.
As required by AD-gA-326 (Operations with a Potential for Draining the Reactor Vessel), this procedure complies with the following Technical Specification Sections: 3.6.5.3, 3.6.5.1, 3.6.5.2 and 3.5.3.

SUMMARY
No. The probability of occurrence of an accident or malfunction is not changed by installation of this bypass. The jumpers simply cause Zone II to isolate whenever Zone III isolates.
II. No. Tying Zone II to Zone III does no more than extend the isolation boundary and increase the Secondary Containment volume for Zone III isolations.

SUMMARY
I. No. FSAR Section 10.4.7. 1 states that the feedwater system has no safety-relate'd function. The'eedwater heaters and associated pipings affected by the proposed action are the portion of feedwater system located upstream of the outermost containment isolation valve, and are not essential for safe shutdown of the plant in accordance with FSAR Section 10.4.7.3.

SVHHARY:
I. No. Replacement of the existing pressure switches does not change the system design intent. The function of the switches remains the same in that the safety isolation setpoint will be set to close the RHR Shutdown Cooling isolation valves at a value less than or equal to that listed in the Technical Specifications. Because of a smaller deadband, the automatic reset on decreasing pressure, which completes the permissive to open the shutdown cooling isolation valves, will be higher and thereby eliminate the need to manually vent the switches. This will eliminate the possibility of an instrument valving error which could defeat the safety function of the subject pressure switches.
II. No. The failure modes of the replacement switches are no different than that of the existing switches. A failure, of both switches to activate on high pressure could cause a rupture in low pressure shutdown cooling piping.

Per safety evaluation on the H.S.L. plugs, the new design can withstand the increased pressure. By increasing the differential pressure across each HSIV seat problems that are actual LLRT failures will be more easily identified. Incr easing the differential pressure across each HSIV will also reduce the number of maintenance activities that are for minor leakage problems and which may induce actual defects.

In order to prevent unplanned ESF's actuation and maintain the B loop of drywell coolers in service to make the drywell more habitable while personnel are working it was decided to initiate a drywell cooling manual isolation. Five valves are needed to be open to support drywell activities. These valves supply cooling water to the drywell coolers, and instrument air through CIG header.
SUMMARY
I. No. During an outage in Operational Condition 4 or 5, primary containment integrity is not required and is not maintained (i.e.
containment equipment hatch is removed). Operation of the Emergency Switchgear and Load Center Room Cooling System is also discussed in FSAR Chapter 9.4, which states that the Dx system is required to function to provide cooling post accident. Keeping these valves open and preventing the Dx system from auto starting upon drywell cooling isolation during the period when the Rx vessel is off loading will not increase the probability of occurrence or the consequences of an accident or malfunction of equipment related to safety. This bypass will be removed prior to the plant's return to Operational Condition 5.
II. No. Since there are no requirements for primary containment integrity during defueled conditions or Conditions 4 or 5, the actions of defeating primary containment automatic, manual isolation signals to these drywell cooling valves does not effect the possibility for creating an accident or malfunction of a different type than any evaluated previously in the FSAR.
III. No. There is no section in the Technical Specification which specifically addresses Dx system operation. However, the Emergency Switchgear Room Cooling System is a support system for the ESS bus equipment which is discussed in Section 3.8.3. Since the Dx unit can still be manually operated from the control room, this bypass does not reduce the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any Technical Specification.

Technical Specifications and FSAR requirements have been approved as an exemption to Appendix J, such that, test pressure is reduced and the inboard HSIV's are tested in the reverse direction. Advances in Hain Steam Line Plug design and analysis have provided means to test at Pa in accident direction. This test performs testing at Pa in the accident direction.
SVMMARY:

Previous Safety Evaluations have shown the H.S.L. plugs can withstand the increased pressure. By increasing the differential pressure across each HSIV seat problems that are actual LLRT failures will be more easily identified. Increasing the differential pressure across each HSIV will also reduce the number of maintenance activities that are for minor leakage problems and which may induce actual defects.
III. No. The basis section for Technical Specification 3/4.6. 1.2 describes HSIV testing as an exemption to 10CFR50 Appendix J and that the "special requirements" are based on experienced degradation of the leak tightness of the valves. The "special requirements" are assumed to mean the increased frequency that is assigned to the valves, lower test pressure, and separate leakage criteria. The test will be performed at the same frequency,and the'ccepted criteria (46 scfh, 22 slm) will not be changed.. The test will increase the test pressure to 45 psig.

This change replaces the load cell, load switches and load indicator of the Refueling Bridge Hain Hoist located in Reactor Bldg. Elev. 818 feet.
SUHHARY:
I. No. Fuel handling system is discussed in FSAR Section 9. 1.4. Design criteria of the refueling 'bridge main hoist is discussed in FSAR Tables 9. 1.6A and B. There is no reference to the load cell in this table. The refueling platform is safety class 2 and seismic category I per FSAR Table 3.2-1. The modification replaces the main hoist load cell and adds two enclosures to house the electronics and load indicator, but does not modify the structure of the refueling bridge.
II. No. This modification replaces the load cell and does not install any new equipment.
III. No. Protection from excessive lifting forces [Bases 3/4.9.6(3)] is provided by the jam interlock. The hoist operator provides a backup in the event of failure of this interlock as is the case with the current hydraulic design. The new system addresses the problem of leakage being experienced with the current system and is an improvement.

This change installs monitoring equipment to collect data associated with Shutdown Cooling Isolations.
SUMMARY
I. No. Per FSAR Section 7.4.1.3.1.1, shutdown cooling is the non-safety related portion of the RHR system. Section 7.4.1.3.5.3 states there is no safety related setpoint(s) associated with shutdown cooling other than the high pressure/low pressure interlocks. Section 7.6. 10.4.3.5.3.4 discusses the redundancy and diversity of the instrumentation utilized for shutdown cooling isolation. This redundancy and diversity is not affected by this Bypass.
II. No. See Item I above.
III. No. The reactor pressure and high flow isolat'ion instrumentation is not affected by this bypass due to the manner in which the temporary instrumentation will be installed. Since multiple concurrent failures would be required to result in loss of an automatic isolation of a primary containment penetration, the probability of this occurring is minimal; and therefore, this bypass does not reduce the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any Technical Specification.

This modification replaces the two existing pneumatic flow control loops in the Unit 2 RWCU Filter Oemineralizer system with electronic flow control loops.
SUNNARY:
I. No. The cleanup system can be operated at any time during planned operations, or it may be shut down. The operation or malfunction of the electronic flow control loops will not affect any safety related equipment or function. Based on a review of FSAR Chapter 15, the flow control loop is not involved in any accident or transient initiation. The failure of the equipment can only effect the reactor water chemistry which, when it reaches its Technical Specification limits, will require operator action.
II. No. The modification changes. a pneumatic flow control loop to an electronic flow control loop. The flow transmitter will have a pressure rating suitable for use at 'reactor pressure, and will perform the identical function as the presently installed transmitter.

SUMMARY
I. No. The suppression pool water level monitoring system is discussed in FSAR Section 7.6. lb. 1.3. All safety related functions pertaining to level indication and recording will remain unchanged. The Suppression Pool Water Level Monitoring System is not discussed in any Chapter 6 or 15 Analysis. The revised loops will perform all the same functions as the existing loops while increasing the reliability.
II. No. This modification does not alter any of the devices used to provide the safety related indication and recording as discussed in FSAR Section 7.6. lb. 1.3. The modification does not alter the basic function of the suppression pool monitoring system and provides increased accuracy rating of the alarm.
III. No. The proposed modification will increase the accuracy rating of the low level alarm initiation and of the plant computer system by providing computer input from the more accurate narrow range loops, lowering the alarm setpoint, and providing a time delay to buffer level fluctuations. The proposed modification also provides an upgrade to the low level monitoring system by the addition of Class 1E powered alarm switch circuits for non-1E annunciator system output and reliability.

This modification involves protection of safe shutdown from fire suppression activities, which in this case consists of water spray originating from manual or automatic fire fighting activities.
SUMMARY
I. No. This modification will eliminate the indirect consequences of a single design basis fire on safe shutdown components. Caulking, gasketing and shielding provisions for the components addressed will provide a barrier to keep water released by suppression systems from damaging those components.
II. No. The caulking, gasketing and shielding work proposed by this modification are entirely passive fire protection features. The proposed work does not change the function of the components and the design of the shields will properly address dynamic qualification of the components.
III. No. This modification will not interface with any plant operations system; hence, no plant parameter is affected. The shields are designed to allow operators to view instrumentation without any interference.

This evaluation addresses the prudency of using Unit 1 Fuel Pool Cooling as primary Decay Heat Removal System between Fuel Pool Gate Installation and the Service Water Outage with leak in Circ Water Expansion Joint.:
SUMMARY
I. No. This evaluation documents the reasons why the Unit 1 fuel Pool Cooling system can be used as the primary decay heat removal system between the fuel pool gate installation and the Unit 1 Service Water Outage, knowing that a Circulating Water expansion joint leaks.
Based on reduction of system pressure, the observed decrease in expansion joint leakage and past decay heat data, there is not an increase in the probability of occurrence of the consequences of an accident or malfunction of equipment related to safety as previously evaluated in the FSAR.
II. No. It is expected that the Circulating Water expansion joint will remain intact, however, the design of the Fuel Pool Cooling system as described in FSAR Section 9. 1.3.1 is to maintain pool water below 125'F, and the worst case is described in FSAR Appendix 9A where both pool cooling systems are lost from a single seismic event. The conservative results showed that the pools would not boil until at least 25 hours2.893519e-4 days <br />0.00694 hours <br />4.133598e-5 weeks <br />9.5125e-6 months <br /> after loss of cooling. For the purpose of this evaluation only Unit 1 Fuel Pool Cooling System would be lost in the event of a catastrophic failure of the expansion joint. Unit 2 Fuel Pool Cooling is still available along with U2 RHR Fuel Pool Cooling assist.
III. No. The systems required per Technical Specifications are always available along with one backup system that is functional.

The action provides the RWCU isolation valve with circuit isolation through a new isolation control transfer switch in the remote shutdown panel.
SUMMARY
I. No. The circuitry does not prevent the valve from automatic closure on signals from the Rector Coolant Pressure Boundary Leak Detection System of the Standby Liquid Control System as described in the FSAR Section 5.4.8.2. The addition of the isolation circuitry on a dedicated control transfer switch at the remote shutdown panel permits the flexibility to selectively isolate the RWCU system and prevent spurious opening of the valve for a fire in the Control Room.
II. No. The new circuitry between the remote shutdown panel 2C201 and the MCC is an existing, seismically supported raceway. Cables are installed in Division I raceway so that divisional separation is maintained.
III. No. The proposed action does not affect the thermal overload bypass on the valve when controlled from the Control Room. The proposed action does provide a dedicated control transfer switch which allows the operator the flexibility to terminate letdown through the RWCU system from the remote shutdown panel.
