' This modification -- to the Containment Vent / Hydrogen -Purge System involved the L replacement and relocation of the existing non-safety-related Foxboro FE-6901 Flowmeters with non-safety-related air flow monitors (e.b, Kurz Model #455 08) with an indication range from 0 - 750 SCFM. The new flow tota.izers added to the system as a part of the new air flow monitors were not safety-related. The location where the existing Foxboro flowmeters were installed was replaced with a pipe spoolpiece.
The non-safety-related Foxboro FE-6901 Flowmeters were replaced as they do not meet the sensitivity / accuracy requirements for air flow values described in the FSAR post-accident analysis. The Foxboro Flowmeters were replaced with non safety related air flow monitors installing t_he new flow transmitters in the vertical section of the Ilydrogen Purge System

pipe diameters downstream from the flow transmitter.
A 50.59 Evaluation was needed because the activity constituted a revision to FSAR figures 6 9,9 20A and Section 6.8.3.3. The Safety Evaluation concluded there was no unreviewed safety question or change in the Technical Specifications.
FCR 851023 Letter L91-090-documented licensing concerns recarding the capability of instrument channel FT-212 to satisfy licensing criteria from NRC Regulatory Guide 1.97 regarding post. accident monitoring of charging now. During the past three years efforts have been made to compensate for system now pulsations caused by the positive displacement charging pumps and thus increased the accuracy of channel F1 212. Although some success has been achieved and further testing is planned, evaluations can be undertaken to demonstrate that the existing plant configuration is technically adequate.
The technical evaluations provided herein demonstrate the capability of utilizing existing plant instrumentation to ascertain _ proper post accident operation of the char ing system.
These evaluations show that the Calvert Clius Nuclear Power Plant (CCNPI meets the intent of Regulatory Guide 1.97 given the current existing plant configuration, pecifically, it is proposed that the charging pump breaker lights be utilized as Category 2 indication of chargmg system performance while FT-212 be utilized for Category 3 backup indication.
The charging pump electric current meters, which are alreadl 3 utilized as Catego ' 2 indication, can b: utilized as an additional backup to the chargmg pump breaker il ts.
These evaluationi demonstrate that plant safety is not compromised given existing avai ible status indicators 1or charging flow. Charging flow is tested using STP 0-73D 1(2). Test data has shown that a char;ing pump in degraded packing wil. dehver. gpm, 414.With goodthiscondition test data, will deliver use of 44 45 pump the charging gpm, and a pum breaker lights, (backed up by the electric current indications and FT-212), to demonstrate charging system performance is justified.
Licensing commitments currently,specify that control room indicated charging Dow rate from channel FT-212 can be designated as a type D, Category 2 variable as defined in Regulatory Guide 1.97. A type D designation means that the prescribed variable is utilized to ascertam the operation of a safety system. Category 2 is the recommended designation
-for this parameter as per Regulatory Guide 1.97 and thus, the as licensed plant design satisfies the licensing criteria therein via direct compliance. However, channel inaccuracies
-due to pulsating flow from the positive displacement charging aumps have called into question the reliability of FT 212 and thus, its stand alone capabi'ity to satisfy Category 2 criteria from Regulatory Guide 1.97. -
-A review of the maintenance history associated with channel FT-212 showed that the channel had consistently produced high flow readings over the life of the plant. Efforts to-correct this problem had yielded only partial success. Additionally, a review of applicable CCNPP procedures indicated that operators utilize charging pump breaker lights as the preferrec, charging system performance indicator (vice FT 212), lentting further credence to this proposed change.
The change is technically suitable and meets the intent of the NRC Regulatory Guide 1.97.
The Safety Evaluation concluded there was no unreviewed safety question or change in the Technical Specifications.

in order to moet 10CFR 50.62, this FCR installed an additional means of scramming the reactor on hig pressurizer pressure. The design used PT 102ABCD to develop a EhFAS l 2/4 actuation s nal.
The ESFAS Am logic cabinet will open the load contactor of the M/G set 27'(1 & 2 G206).
The ESFAS TL logic cabinet will open the load contactor of the M/G set on 45' (1 & 2 G306).
During normel operation, a single channel trip would not de-energize the RTS bus and cause rod drop. Rod drop will occur on a single channel trip only if the M/G set load sharing circuit docs not operate properly. The load sharing feature has operated successfully in the past to catch the load of a M/G set trip.
A new by-pass contactor was installed in parallel with the existing load contactor to allow testing of the load contactor while maintaining generator output. The load contactor and by-pass contactor are controlled by different ESFAS channels so that while testing the channel 'A' load contactor, the by pass contactor is contrrIlin the Channel 'B' and vise-versa. Using this scheme,if the ESI AS channel controlling the pass contactor receives a high pressunzer pressure signal, the output of both M/G sets will e lost.
This scheme uses a set of auxiliary contacts on the by-passed condition at control room panel C05. The by-pass contactor is fully rated for the M/G set output and there are no regulatory aass mode, a restrictions single DSS trip against signal of thecontinued operation proper channel wil in the byl trip the reactor. Eac four channel histables is annunciated on 1(2) COS if a histable tnps. The Safety Evaluation concluded there was no unreviewed safety question or change in the Technical Specifications.
FCR 85-1052
- This modification installed a Diverse Scram System (DSS) in compliance with 10 CFR 50.62, Reduction of Risk from Anticir'*ed Transients without Scram events. The DSS uses existing Pressurizer Pressure Transmitters PT102A, B, C, D, to provide a high pressurizer aressure signal to "high" bistables added to the pressure loops circuitry. Unused isolators, ,
aistables, and logic modules in the ESFAS ,anels are used as well as existing CEDM Motor Generator controls. The addition of a new aypass contactor in p_arallcl with the existing load contractor for the CEDM Motor-Generator allows testing of ATWS at power.
.The four pressure channels provide pressure signals to four high bistables in the ESFAS sensor cabinets. Each bistable provides channel trip annunciation, and input to two isolators. One isolator provides an input to a two-out-of four logic module in channel"A" of
-the ESFAS logic cabinets while the other isolator inputs to channel"B". The logic module supply annunciation and data logger input for " Diverse Scram System' Trip", each also energize a trip relay in the ESFAS relay cabinets to open a contact in the " load oft" portion -
of the MG set control circuit thereby causing the load contactor (3M) to open. Both Motor-Generator set load contactors must open to cause a reactor trn. The Safety Evaluation concluded there was no unreviewed safety question or change in _- th'e Technical Specifications.

10CFR50.59 Annual Report ., Pagej FCR 87-0073 Supplement 9 to FCR 87-0073 was issued to facilitan the processing of DCR 89-826. This DLR was released to revise P&lD hi 56, Sh. 3 of 6 Plant Fire Protection System, Turbine, and Service Bldgs. & Intake Struct., Units No.1 & 2() to reflect the addition of a non sa related fire protection sprinkler system in the North Service Building. P&ID hi-56, Sh. 3 o'f 6, is FSAR Figure 9 228. Supplement 9 was also issued to update FSAR Table 9 20 to re0cet new information associated with the sprinkler system. The FSAR P&lD does not currently reflect the configuration of the sprinkler pipinj in the North Service Building. The Safety Evaluation concluded there was no unreviewed safety question or change in the Technical Specifications.
FCR 87-0111 This modification amplified the FSAR description of the PORY Block h10Vs to note that electrical separation was not required between the circuitry from hiOV 403 and h!OV 405.
FSAR Section 8.5 requires six 6) inches of separation or barriers between safety related circuits of different se 3aration (groups. The control board handswitches do not meet this criteria. The Safety 3 valuation concluded there was no unreviewed safety question or change in the Techmcal Specifications.
FCR 8%054 This change allowed the use of an alternate material (i.e.,15 SPH stainless steel in lieu of 300 series stainless steel) for the Charging Pump Fluid End Cylinders (i.e., blocks),
l_xakage from cracked blocks have been experienced in #12 and #23 charging pumps. A new block was installed on #12 pump and it experienced cracks in less than 1 year. A second new block was installed on #121 amp but it is the same design as the one that failed in less than 1 year. The original block from #12 pump has been repaired and was used to replace the #23 block.
The blocks had reached their service life and needed to be replaced on an "As Failed" basis.
The proposed change to 15-SPH material enhanced the fatigue endurance of these blocks.
. The Safety Evaluation concluded there was no unreviewed safety question or ch nge in the L Technical Specifications.
FCR 89-13.
This modification removed the internals from the safety related check valves 1-SRW.321,1-SRW 322 and 2-SRW 321 located on the service water return headers for the Emergency
- Diesel Generators (EDGs) 11,12, and 21 heat exchangers, respectively. The check valve bodies will remain in place as spool pieces.
-This modification was performed for the following reasons:
- 1. Nonconformance Report (NCR) 9255 was initiated to document that a commitment made to the NRC to perform periodic reverse Dow testing on check valves 1-SRW.
321,1-SRW-322 and 2 SRW-321 was not being implemented. The cause of this nonconformance condition was a failure to develop a controlled test procedure to -
L adhere to the commitments made to the NRC regarding the IE Bulletin 83-03. The purpose of reverse flow testing is to ensure that check valve disassembly failure has not occurred. Since the check valves do not perform a necessary function, (See J
m 10CFR50.59 Annual Report Pace 6 4 -
Reason 3) their presence in the system requires unnecessary testing and maintenance. - A separate response to NCR 9255 dated March 15,1990 addressed the failure to perform periodic testing and concluded that it would not create a safety hazard.- Removing the check valve mternals would eliminate the need for periodic testing and maintenance.
- 2. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued IE Bulletin No. 83-03 which is primarily directed at the failure mode of disassembly or partial disassembly of check valve internals in the raw water cooling system of diesel generators, Several utilities have experienced failures of check valves whete Diesel Generators have been declared inoperable because of cooling loop blockage, Due to the frequency of check valve failures reported in this bulletin, it is BG&E's position (for safety concerns) to remove unnecessary check valves in the cooling systems of the EDGs.
Removal of the check valve internals would prevent the possibdity of Service Water blockage to the EDGs' heat exchangers caused by check valve internals failing.
The intent of NRC Bulletin 83-03 is to prevent blockage of the raw water cooling systems for EDGs by implementing testing programs to detect check valve disassembl failures. The removal of17e check valve internals would ensure that the intent of t e NRC bulletin is met. The only safety functions of the valves on the cooling systems for the CCNPP EDGs is to maintain the pressure boundary and to permit passage of the design flow. The removal of the check valve internals will not adversely affect the pressure boundary of the valve bodies and will ensure the passage of design flow.
- 3. The existing check valves 1-SRW-321,1 SRWa2 and 2 SRW-321 are not required for backflow prevention or separation criter.a and do not provide a necessary function other than to maintain the SRW pressure boundary and to permit passage of the design flow. A review of plant history indicated that these check valves were left over as part of the original 5RW design. In the original SRW design, the SRW system was not separated into two subsystems (two subsystems for each unit) and the check valves provided double valve isolation for single valve failure criteria, while the 1ressure boundary for an EDG's heat exchanger was breached during maintenance.
However, before the first fuelloading of Unit :. the SRW System was separated into two subsystems by replacin the cross over valves with blind flanges. The separation was completed around 197b' and is the existing configuration of the SRW sy this configuration, the check valves are not required for separation criterm. There are presently two isolation valves in series located upstream and two downstream of each EDG train which meets the single valve failure criteria.
Service water is sup ierated control valves 1-CV-1587,2 plied and CV-1587 to each dieselforgenerator 1-CV-1588 EDGs 11,21,through and 2,the air o respectively.
These valves automatically open upon receipt of a signal when the diesel reaches 260 rpm. The valves then modulate (automatically reposition) to maintain a 5 to 7 psig pressure drop across the three diesel generator heat exchangers. Thus, the control valves are closed when the respective.EDGs are shutdown and throttle open to maintain a positive differential pressure across the EDG's heat exchangers when the EDGs are operating. Therefore, backflow protection is provided by the operation of the control valves. In addition, the SRW is a steady state system where a positive differential pressure is always available across the EDG heat exchangers. A1/2" ass line is provided around the control valve and the heat exchangers for each II G; This bypass line continuously supplies SRW to the safety related air after cooler for the mr start system for the respective EDG. The potential for back flow through this line is limited by the relative small size of the piping and the frictional
10CFR50.59 Annual Report pace 7
\
i losses through the system and after-cooler. In addition, these lines bypass the EDGs heat exchangers where if backflow did occur through these lines it would not pose a problem for the EDG heat exchangers. Therefore, the system does not require check valves to prevent backflow through the EDG heat exchangers as backflow prevention is provided by the control valves and the availabihty of a positive differential pressure.
Additional backflow protection is provided by the elevation difference between the ;
EDGs and the SRW tie-in for the SRW Pump return line. The EDGs are located on the 45' elevation and the check valves are located immediately before the SRW Pump return line tie in on the 6'-9" elevation. Therefore, the EDGs are additionally protected from backflow by the inertia of an approximate 38' static pressure head.
- 4. From a maintenance standpoint, this modification will climinate the need for .
periodic testing and maintenance on the check valves and will facilitate the refilling of the EDG SRW piping system following maintenance to the system.
- 5. The removal of the check valve internals will acercase the aressure drop across the "
check valves and, therefore, will enhance the performance of the system. ,
related. However, removing the The internals'check fromvalves these valves affected did notby this activity compromise any are o safetyf the safety functions of the S system as the check valves do not provide a safety related function other than pressure boundary ai.d opening to allow flow passage. The Safety Evaluation concluded there was no unreviewed safety question or change in the Technical Specifications.

.This modifiestion replaced existing piston operated dampers 1 PO 5406 and 1 PO 5407 in the discharge of ECCS pump room exhaust fans No. I1 and 12, respectively, with gravity dam _ pers. In addition, solenoid valves 1 SV 5406 and 1 SV 5407, pressure control valves l-PCV.5406 and 1 PCV-5407, instrument air lines and accumulators were removed. Also, limit switches 1.ZS 5406A & B and 1-ZS 5407A & B, which are installed on the dampers and indicate fully open or fuhy closed at control panel 1C34, and all associated circuits and raceways were removed or spared. The indicatmg function was added per FCR 841088, item No. 51 to meet the Reg. Guide 1.97 requirements.
In addition, this modification replaced the existing flexible connections between the existing aiston operated dampers and duct work with continuous molded Dexible connections aetween the new gravity dampers Imd the existing duct work.
The dampers are classified as safety-related, where as the Dexible connections are noa-safety-related.
This modification was made for the following reasons:
L To reduce the probability of a malfunction of equipment, the piston operated dampers require a source of compressed air, solenoid valves, and associated controls; whereas, the only external means necessary to operate the gravity dampers la the static differentie ipressure across the dampers which is provided by the operation of the exhaust fans.
- 2.- To reduce the load on the salt water air supply, which results in spare capacity for future safety-related use,
- 3. To maintain a consuer.t u tem configuration with the Unit 1 ECCS pump room :
- exhaust system. Engineu up er the replacement of the piston operated dampers on the discharge of the Urp . ECCS pump room exhaust fans was issued under this-FCR.
In addition, this modific': ion replaced the existing flexible connections between the exiting liston operated dampers and duct work with continuous molded flexible connections

10CillW1.59 Annuallkpatt PagtR FCR W 10 This safety evaluation was written to determine if an Umeviewed Safety Question exists due to the lack of the rated dampers in the ventilation ducte where the battery toom ventilation system (supply and exhaust) penetrates twu barri,trs. Soccifically, dampets are not installed in the barrier between the Unit 1 Cable Spreadinj lloom and Cable Chase til and the i barrier between Cable Chase !!) and Cable Chase lA. If no USO exists, then no dampeis will be installed.
It was discovered that a total of four fire rated dampers had not been installed where the 125VDC limtery Room ventilation system supply anu exhaust ducts peneirate two baniers.
A review of commitments regarding the rating of these barriers revealed that ilG&li had indicated that at least 11/2 hour rated dampers would be provided in ventilation i penetrations. Ilowever subsequent guidance provided b addressed deficiencies in barriers which maybeeventuall)y discoveted andthebarriers NRC which in Generic Lette 1 must undergo chan in this Generle Letter, (Section i 3.1.2 of Enclosure I')es as a result of plant modifications,, the NRC directs that an ;
fire protection engineer to determine if a barrier which is not completely scaled ftom Hoor- !

This change removed the function of the lodine Removal Unit (IRU) Dousing System. This change isolates the IRU Dousing System when either the containment spray system or the -
contamment iodine removal system is required to be operable by the Technical S ecifications (Modes 1,2,3, and 4). Manual valves SI 4949, SI 4950, SI 4951 SI 4958 St.

The Main Control Room switches for dousing valves SV 4952, SY-)4953, SV 4954, SV 4955, SV 4956, and SV 4957 will ma provide any function when the manual valves are closed. The control circuits for SV 4159 and SV 4160 will be classified as NSR. CV 4159 and CV 4160 will retain a safety related pressure l
boundary function. In Modes 5 and 6, the manual valves may be open to allow the dousing i syste,m to be functional during iodine removal unit maintenance to provide fire protection if j required. <
The IRU temperature indication and monitoring equipment is reclassified as NSR as the temperature lunction is not required nor is its functmn related to any automatic safety actions. Since an analysis shows that IRU overheatin ' is not credible, the temperature instrumentation is not needed as an indication that wouk trigger operator action.
Coincident with a LOCA or post LOCA, a single failure of the limit:n; component (the loss !
of a diem generator or an IRU fan failure) will not result in the charcoal ignition or desorptiu temperature being reached. Such a failure during a LOCA will not cause an -;

FCit !&llo The activity associated with FCil 90110 made permanent eleven CCI.ll7 Temporary Modifications of the Reactc./ Vessel Level Monitoring System IIVLMS, a ilented Junction Thermocou ile System . IljTCS). A secondary purpose of this(activity is to provide the e
for future c1anges to the RVLMS whkh are identical to the types of wiring modifications described in FLR 90110 and evaluated herein. Specifically, the following types of wiring modifications to the RVLMS's electronics are evaluated:
- 1. Revise the reference thermoeouple med for some sensors which have a failed reference junction thermocouple lead),(to restore operability of those sensorstopen or shorted U 2.- Jumper failed heated thermocouples (either due to a failed heater or a failed thermocouple- to adjust thermocouples immediatelv above it) so that the alarms n heca(if- possible, cleared tothe to restore thechannel operable to sensor operability'and a that the RVLMS indicators consemitively alert the operator to level changest and
- 3. Replace failed heaters with a dropping resistor to provide proper power to other -
heaters in its series string and allow t be remaining sensor string to operate properly.
The above changes are within the design intent of the sy> tem and document the current "As.

e the supply air tubing is 1/4" O.D. stainless steel with a wall thickness of .065" and a total knear length of approtimately $$ feet.
This configuration imposed a large pressuie dro s on the alt supply and adversely af frets the response and operation of the speed changer va ves. A tem porary test configuration for the air supl?l p using 3/H" plastic tubmg approximately 20 feet in ieng was routed from 2T29 to 2T30. Ihe performance of the speed changer valves greatly improved during the test, and proved that the cause of the problem was, in fact, the restrictive and overly lengthy supply air tubing run. The Safety livaluation concluded there was no unreviewed safety question or a change in the technical specifications, hihi 91-059-005-0 Minor Modification 91059 005 0 (Unit No.1) and 91059-0051 (Unit No. 2) were initiated to evaluate / repair the Containment Pressure instrument tubing systems.
The pressure sensing line installation were analyzed using the MII 101 stress program and building differential movements which were reduced usmg a more current methodology which differs from the design basis analysis method provided in the FSAlt. As a result of the analyses, the activity removed supports from the instrument tubing systems.
When the original Cahert Cliffs seismic analysis was performed in 1970 for the main building structures, such as- the Containment and Auxiliary Buildings, a simplistle mathematical model was constructed for input to the original computer analysis.
The model for the building structures used excesshely conservative soil damping values.
The conservatism inherent in the original _ analysis can be quantified by evaluating the original results using more current define soil damping.
These evaluations vield building displacement values which are considerably less than those originally calculate'i! These reduced displacement values have bei n used as input to the tubing stress analysis.
This approach, which utilizes more reasonable damping value, has been previously used on Calvert Cliffs to formulate to response to NitC 111 flulletin 8011 with regard to the seismie qualifications of masonry block walls.
The 50.59 ws performed to document and support the approach based on the revised building differ ntial movement and is applicable to the Unit No. I and Unit No. 2 Containment Pressure instrument tubing systems.

be raised a minitnum of one foot above the sump screen so that flow through the top of the sump screen will not be impeded by the addition of this cover. Prior to entering Mode 3 the scaffolding is to be disassembled, and any debris found lying on the cover is to be removed from containment. i This 50.59 Safety Evaluation was written because of the impact this procedure would have on a structure described in the FSAlt. The Containment Sump Screen ilox construction ~
and the effective flow area through the screen are described in the FSAlt. Also , the sump screen is depicted in a drawinj contained in FSAlt. Since this cover can be considered to be mrt of the overall structure o: the sump screen the description in the FSAll is being altered.
Sinally, to pro)erly determine whether a 50.59 was required or not it _was necessary in thh:
case to do all t ie research required for a 50.59. In the fmal analysis it was still undetermined ;
whether a 50.59 was required; however, because questions could arise concerning the safety significance of this procedure it was deemed prudent to write a 50.59 so that these concerns ,
could be identified and then formally addressed.
During maintenance activities in Modes 4,5,6, and when Defueled, debris may fall onto the sump screen. The debris may be of such a size (long and narrow) that it is able to pass through the sump cage wire mesh, and enter the contamment recirculation Suction lines.
This debris may either block these suction lines, or be transported to the ECCS pumps
- (llPSI, LPSI, and Containment Spray) where upon it may cause the malfunction of one or >
more of these pumps when these pumps are required to operate by taking suction from the containment sump. The main purpose of this activity is to prevent debris from collecting in ECCS suction piping the suction piping used during containment recirculation cover over the sump (enge. This will prevent debris from entering mment sumpthe conta) by recirculation lines from the direction in which it is likely to enter. Debris entering the Containment Sump Ca e by falling through the side is not considered a likely event. The Safety Evaluation conc;uded l there was no unreviewed safety question or a change in Technical Specifications.
