SUMMARY

OF CHANGES, TESTS, AND EXPERIMENTS FOR THE HOPE CREEE GENERATING STATION MONTH MARCH 1997 The following items completed during February 1997 have been evaluated to determine:

1. If the probability of occurrence or the consequences of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety previously evaluated in the safety analysis report may be

< increased; or

2. If a possibility for an accident or malfunction of a

, different type than any evaluated previously in the safety analysis report may be created; or

, 3. If the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any technical specification is reduced.

The 10CFR50.59 Safety Evaluations showed that these items did not create a new safety hazard to the plant nor did they affect the safe shutdown of the reactor. These items did not change the plant effluent releases and did not alter the existing environmental impact. The 10CFR50.59 Safety Evaluations determined that no unreviewed safety or environmental questions are involved.

Desion Chances Summary of Safety Evaluations Replacement of Air-Operated Valves in the Safety Auxiliary Cooling System (SACS), 4EC-03612 Pkgs. 2, 4, 6, and 7. The Standby Diesel Generator (SDG) room cooler water supply valves in the SACS were replaced. The previous valves were carbon steel air actuated flexible-wedge gate valves. The replacement valves are stainless steel air actuated ball valves which are more suitable to the application. UFSAR Figure 9.2-5 was changed to show the type and material of the replacement valves and actuators. UFSAR Table 3.9-18 was changed to show the valve / actuator replacement type.

This replacement does not change the function of the valves or the function of the affected a,ystems. The change does not alter the ability of the SACS, the SDG Room Recirculation System, or the SDGs to perform their intended

. safety function. The affected systems will function in

~

accordance with the original design and licensing basis of the plant.

! Replacement of Air-Operated Valves in the safety Auxiliaries l Cooling system (SACS), 4EC-03612, Pkg. 9. The Residual Heat i

Removal (RHR) pump room cooler water supply valves in the i SACS were replaced. The previous valves were carbon steel ,

air actuated flexible-wedge gate valves. The replacement i valves are stainless steel air actuated ball valves which i

are more suitable to the application. UFSAR Figure 9.2-4 l was changed to show the type and material of the replacement valves / actuators. UFSAR Table 3.9-18 was changed to show j the valve / actuator replacement type. This replacement does !

j- not change the function of the valves or the function-of the affected systems. The change does not alter the ability of i the' SACS, the Equipment Area Cooling System (EACS), or the '

RHR pump room unit coolers to perform their intended safety J functions. The affected systems will function in accordance :

with the original design and licensing basis of the plant.

Therefore, this design change does not increase the probability or consequences of an accident previously described in the UFSAR and does not involve an Unreviewed ,

Safety Question.

Replacement of Air-Operated valves in the safety Auxiliaries i Cooling system (SACS), 4EC-03612, Pkg. 27. The Core Spray -

(CS) pump room cooler water supply valves in the SACS were replaced. The previous valves were carbon steel air I actuated flexible-wedge gate valves. The replacement valves 1 are stainless steel air actuated ball valves which are more suitable to the application. UFSAR Figure 9.2-4 was changed to show the type and material of the replacement valves / actuators. UFSAR Table 3.9-18 was changed to show- -

the valve / actuator replacement type. This replacement does l not change the function of the valves or the function of the affected systems. The change does not alter the ability of the SACS, the Equipment Area Cooling System (EACS), or the CS pump room unit coolers to perform their intended safety functions. The affected systems will function in accordance with the original design and licensing baris of the plant.

Therefore, this design change does not increase the probability or consequences of an accident previously described in the UFSAR and does not involve an Unreviewed Safety Question.

l i flow switch, 1EPFS-2225B, and installed gaskets and a blind j flenge in place of the flow switch. Stress and seismic evaluations have been performed to demonstrate the adequacy of the change. The replacement of.the flow switch with a j blind flange does not affect the amount of flow being

provided-to the Reactor Auxille.ry Cooling System (RACS) and I Safety Auxiliary Cooling System (SACS) heat exchangers i during plant conditions, transients, and accident

' conditions. The change does not: 1) change, degrade, or l prevent actions described or assumed in any accident

described in the SAR, 2) alter any assumptions previously I

i made in evaluating radiological consequences of any accident described in the SAR, 3) affect the mitigation of the radiological consequences of any accident described in the

! SAR, 4) affect a fission product barrier, or 5) change the i composition or inventory of radioactivity releases. This

change does not adversely affect the operabilb 7f the Station Service Water System (SSWS).

i Therefore, this design change does not increase the j probability or consequences of an accident previously i

i described in the UFSAR and does not involve an Unreviewed Safety Question.

j Procedures 8"--=ry of Safety Evaluations l

TEC.CE-SA.RC-0004(Q), Temporary Balance of Plant (BOP)

{~ sampling Program. This temporary BOP Sampling Program )

establishes chemistry parameters, specifications, sampling frequencies, and; sampling locations to meet Updated Final q

Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) sampling requirements during i

! the BOP sample station replacement. The proposed procedure j

l. does.not have any negative effects on safety related '

functions and does not compromise any safety related system g or components or prevent safe shutdown of the plant.

[

Therefore, this temporary procedure does not' increase the

. probability or consequences of an accident previously

^

described in the UFSAR and does not involve an Unreviewed Safety Question.

i i Other sa===ry of safety Evaluation j safety Evaluation B97-006, On-Site Transportation of Sales j Unit l's Original Steam Generators (OSGs) including

- Temporary Parking of the 08Gs. A temporary parking area, l for storage of the OSGs prior to their shipment offsite, was j . erected near the low level waste storage facility, by

{ creating a Radiological Controlled Area (RCA) and erecting temporary concrete block shielding. This safety evaluation i was prepared-to evaluate the effect of the RCA on the Hope 4

4

Creek Generating Station. The safety evaluation demonstrated that neither the RCA, nor the transportation, nor the temporary parking of the OSGs adversely affected any structure, system or component. The temporary parking area, l

l as erected and controlled, does not present any radiological safety concerns. ;

! Therefore, implementation of this change does not increase the probability or consequences of an accident previously

! described in the UFSAR and does not involve an Unreviewed Safety Question.
