DearMr.Grier:

ThisletterservestoprovidetheCommission withaninterimreportofadeficiency involving thelackofrequiredspecialconduitseparation forcertainsafety-related electrical circuits.

Thedeficiency wasoriginally reportedtotheNRCiTLGeneralElectricletterTRR-26-81/MPN-065-91, datedApril8,1981undertheprovisions of10CFR21.Recognizing its'esponsibility toreviewthecondition forreportability under10CFR50.55(e),

PP&Ldetermined thisdeficiency tobepotentially reportable.

Consequently, Mr.C.Z.McVickerofPPaLsoadvisedNRCRegionIInspector Mr.L.Narrowbytelephone onApril14,1981.Theattachment tothislettercontainsadesription ofthedeficiency, itscause,safetyimplications, andthecorrective actiontakenandplanned.Theinformation issubmitted asafinalreportpursuanttotheprovisions of10CFR50.55(e).

WetrusttheCommission willfindtheinformation forwarded bythislettertobesatisfactory.

Verytrulyyours,N.W.CurtisVicePresident-Engineering 6Construction-Nuclear yoi~5FLW/WHG/vs'.

.~Attachment toPLA-827SUBJECTSpecialelectrical separation fortheG.E.suppliedPowerGeneration ControlComplexinvolving theHighPressureCoolantInjection (HPCX),ReactorCoreIsolation Cooling(RCIC),andAutomatic Depressurization Systems(ADS)asidentified inNRCZGEInformation Notice79>>32.DESCRIPTION OFDEFICIENCY Thedeficiency involvestheomissionofconduitonelectrical wiringtotheHPCXinboardsteamisolation valveE41-F002andRCICinboardsteamisolation valveE51-F007.

Theinstallation ofthiscondui.tisrequiredtomeetaspecificrequirement oftheGeneralElectricspecification forelectrical separation, applicable toSusquehanna 162.Thisdeficiency relatestoboththeGEscopeofsupply(i.e.thePowerGeneration ControlComplex)andtheBechtelCorp.scopeofsupply(i.e.BalanceofPlant)forthesecircuits.

Note:AlthoughGE'sPart21report(ref.TRR-26-81/MFN-065-81 dated4/8/81)includedADScircuitsinthescopeofthereporteddeficiency, asdidtheirgenericresponsetoNRCZ&EInformation Notice79-32,ADShasnotbeenincludedinthescopeofthi.sreportbecausetheSusquehanna ADSdesign,unlikeearliervintageplants,hastworedundant powerandlogictrainsandiscapableofoperation withafailureineitherdivision.

CAUSETheGeneralElectricspecification forelectrical separation applicable toSusquehanna SES,requiresthatconduitbeinstalled toprovidespecialseparation oftheHPCZandRCXCinboardsteamlineisolation valvecircuitsfromothercircuitsassignedtothesamedivision(seeattacheddiagramofFig.5ofG.E.Doc.22A3052).

Theintent,ofthisspecialseparation require-mentistoprovideconduitseparation ofthe"Division I-X"circuitfromotherDivisionXcircuitsandconduitsseparation ofthe"Division ZZ-X"circuitsfromotherDivisionZIcircuitstherebypreventing apostulated singleelectrical failurefromdisabling boththeHPCXandRCXCsystems.GEandBechtelCorp.,fortheirrespective scopesofsupply,failedtoincorporate thisspecialelectrical separation requirement intothedesignoutputdocuments theypreparedandissuedforthemanufacture andconstruction oftheSusquehanna HPCZandRCZCsystems.ANALYSISOFSAFETYIMPLICATIONS TheintentoftheGErequirement forspecialseparation usingconduitonthesubjectHPCXandRCICcircuitswastopreventapostulated singleelectrical failurefromdisabling boththeHPCXandRCICsystems.Thereisapossibility thatafirecouldcauseahot-short circuitinthecabletotheHPCXinboardisolation valve(Division I)resulting intheclosureofthisvalveandatthesametime,disabling theRCZCsystemwhichisessentially aDivisionXsystem.Thisscenariocould'result inalossofcapability inboththeHPCXandRCIC'Page1of2 Attachment toPLA-827systems.TheRCICsystemisdesignedtoprovideReactorMakeupWaterduringalossofoffsitepowerandtoestablish andmaintainreactorwaterlevelduringshutdownconditions.

AlthoughtheADSwouldstillbeavailable intheeventofRCIC'systemfailure,itisnottheintendedfunctionoftheADStobeusedasabackuptoRCICduringareactorshutdown.

AtSusquehanna, theADSisprovidedwithtworedundant powerandlogictrainsandwouldalwaysbeavailable foralossofasingledivision.

Therefore, nodeficiency existsintheADSdesign.Thishasbeenconfirmed throughdiscussions withGEinMay,1981.PPGLhasdetermined, however,thatthelackofinstalled conduittoprovideseparation fortheelectrical circuitstotheHPCIandRCICinboardisolation valvesdoesrepresent asignificant.
