l NOTE FOR: Tom Rehm d I Assistant for Operations OEDO FROM: George Felgate Executive Assistant to Commissioner Carr S 8 JECT- LETTER TO GERALD PARKER ,
Attached is a daft of a letter we were about to send to Gerald Parker in Massachusetts. I don't think it is now appropriate to send due to the August 18, 1987 letter to Chairman Zech from Secretary Barry (assigned to EDOforaction). However, you are welcome to use our draft as your see fit. It has been ok'd by Region I, GPA, OGC, and other Cornissioner offices.

Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station Unit #1 Environmental Qualification Extension Request

Dear Sir:
On September 23, 1985, in accordance with guidance provided by HRC Generic Letter 85-15. Boston Edison Company requested an extension of the November 30, 1985 equipment qualification deadline for five items (consisting of 15 Individual components) of sq.lpment at Pilgrim Station. (Reference 1). As indicated therein all of the affected equipment was then scheduled for testing with the expectation that test results would be obtained before November 30, 1985.
On October 30. 1985, Boston Edison provided an update on the status of such testing and requested the Comission to defer action on the extension request while further test results were received and evaluated. (Reference 2). In that letter we committed to provide a further update by November 15, 1985.
The purpose of this letter is to provide that update, We are also revising our extension request reflecting the receipt and analysis of test results to date.
it is the intent of this letter to request you to approve the extensions up to February 8,1986 for c~ompleting the documentation for all the 5 items. This is based on our estimate that it will require approximately 10 weeks time from November 30. 1985 to have the complete documentation file in place. He will ,
of course, maintain the documentation files in as complete a fashion as possible while awaiting final test reocrts.

- a. Page 2 We will' provide you with 4 final update prior to November 30, 1985 of results of planourforevaluation of item 1if and final qualification the two the tests turntests Utems 3 and 4) out unsuccessful. ' and our action for the five items of equipment covered by the September'23,1985 extension request. Attachment I contains the latest inforestion regarding the status of
- .fortesting, eachalong ites. with revised dates regarding the amount of extension requested Specific information concerning the two items for which testing still remains to be completed and for the one item where test results are still being evaluated is set forth below. As may be noted, however, even for,those items which have been (or will be) successfully tested, at least some period of file.
documentation extension has been requested for the purpose of completing the Item 3, the General Electric and Electroswitch Control Switches, was tested on November 7-9, 1985.
This item included and closed contact configuration as part of the testing both the open of the switch. He successfully completed
- testing of the closed contact configurations on November 9,'1985. However.
the open contact configurations have not been fully tested due to inadvertent omission on the part of the test lab. The open contact testing' bas now been rescheduled for comptetion by November 22, 1985. Based on the performance of the closed contact configuration, we believe that the open contact date. Should of configuration the switch will be successfully quallfled by testing on that.
the testing be unsuccessful, our alternative would involve replacement of ungsallfled switches by qu'llfled replacements. These switches '
are currently installe6 in various safety systems and such replacement will require a plant outage. It should be noted that the quallfled replacements .
hava long procurement lead times and a detailed schedule for the replacement contingency for these switches is being evaluated.
Item 4, the 51 cables, is scheduled for testing on November 22, 1985. Hs remain optimistic that the test will prove successful; however, our contingency plan will be to replace the unquallfled cables with quallfled replacements.
Such replacement is not expected to require a plant shutdown.
A detailed being evaluated.
schedule for the replacement contingency for these cables is also
- item 1. the Yarway level Indicating switches, underwent testing on November 13, 1985. Certain anomalles in the initial test results are still being evaluated. Attachment I reflects an extension request based solely upon completion of documentation files; should further evaluation reveal that there are problems with the test, it may be necessary to revise this request, Insofar as Boston Edison's sodified extension request continues to depend in part upon test results and evaluation expected in the next week of so, we will cunrnit to providing the NRC Staff with verbal status reports regarding test progross.

' BOSTON (01. SON COMPANY C
Mr. Domenic 8. Vassallo
. November 15. 1985 Page 3 recuired for documentation reasons sven if all testing is successful, we would request the Comission's. favorable consideration on as early a basis it possible of Boston Edison's modified extension request as identified in Attachment 1.
In conclusion, we believe that this modified extension request is in compilance with the Commission's guidelines as set forth in Generic Letter 85-15. As of this date, out of an initial listing of some 700 items requiririg qualification, we have now schieved compilance with all but 5 ttems. For two of those the only deficiency is completion of documentation files, the schedule for which is dictated by receipt of test reports. for the other Items, the deficiency.ls the need to complete tests and evaluations (which we expect to complete by the required date) and thereafter to complete documentation files. He are also hopeful of Identifying a significantly shortened schedule, as compared to the current request of RTO #7 for achieving full qualification of thesi Items even if the testing 'should not prove successful. .
Should the Commission or the Staff have any questions regarding this extension request as modified, please contact me.
Very truly yours, I
