additional response to the NRC's Request for-Additional Information l dated July 1, 1996. Please find attached a supplemental response to i
Generic Letter 95-07 as a result of recent NRC inspection activities.
McGuire commits to implement the corrective actions as outlined in the L
amended response. i' i

Valve Annlication: Pressurizer PORV Block Valves Corrective Actions: INC0031B, INC0033A,2NC0031B and 2NC0033A will be modified during or before the 1/2EOCl3 refueling outages to preclude any potential thermal binding effers.1/2NC0031B and 33A, the block valves for pressurizer PORV's 1/2NC0032B and 34A, are required to be open during Low Temperature Overpressure Protection (LTOP) conditions. The concern is a fast shutdown where the valves f are closed and must be re-opened prior to attaining LTOP conditions. Tech Spec 3.4.9.3 requires that two l PORV's (1/2NC0032B and 34A) with a lift setting of less than or equal to 385 psig be operable during !
mode 4 when the temperature of any RCS cold leg is less than or equal to 300 degrees F, mode 5, and mode 1 6 when the head is on the reactor vessel. No corrective actions are planned for 1/2NC0035B since these

valves are not required for LTOP protection. i i

Valve annlication: Low head injection pump discharge to high & medium head injection pump isolation.
Corrective Actions: These valves will be modified during the 1/2EOCl1 outages to preclude any potential i pressure locking effects.
IN10009A, INI0010B,2N10009A and 2NI0010B Valve Apolication: High head injection pump discharge to cold leg isolation Pressure Lockine Evaluation: In accordance with the Duke Power Company pressure locking screening criteria, these valve applications are potentially susceptible to pressure locking since they are of the flex wedge design. In the previous response, dated 7/31/96,it was indicated that these valves are not subject to pressure locking since they would open with NV pump discharge pressure acting against one side of the wedge. Since this submittal there has been a discussion concerning the time differential between pump start and valve opening. To further clarify th,; icenario, for a LOCA coincident with a LOOP event, the power to the NV pumps and these valves would be restored at the same time. The most recent ESF Actuation Test results show that the slowest starting NV pump develops full pressure within 1.8 seconds. Based on past bench testing experience, these MOV's can be expected to operate at locked rotor for 4-5 seconds.
Corrective Action: For the short term, the data from future ESF tests will be reviewed to ensure the NV l pump start does not extend beyond the ability of the valve to survive at locked rotor conditions. For the
