Please be spefic to the type of experience on a Mark I L boiling Water reactor that these men have and how long they l .have worLed f or the Boston Eds ton Compar < ? -
- 3. It has been noted that this off normal event had the potential to develop into a Loss of Cool ant type scenario.
We would appreciate clarification on the actual number of incidents (no matter what the cl assification)that PNPS has had? We have been assured that a Loss of Coolant Accident is ex treml y unl ikel y. What is the statistical data that substantantes this claim ? Is the history of PNPS in these 1 matters reflected into those numbers? I l

Dear Ms. Dinan:
I am responding to the letter of May 15, 1989, to Mr. William Kane, Director, l Division of Reactor Projects from you, Ms. Jane Fleming and Ms. Kate O'Brien.
In that letter you requested detailed information, primarily concerning an W April 12, 1989, event at the Pilgrim Station involving the reactor core isola-
! - tion corling (RCIC) system. Much of the information requested is contained in NRC Augented Inspection Team (AIT) Report Number 50-293/89-80, available in your Local Public Document Room (LPDR). A copy of the AIT report is enclosed for your convenience. I believe a careful review of this document will answer many of your questions. Since the information contained is substantial in volume and technical in nature, I will attempt to provide a brief summary in response to each_ of your six areas of interest.
- 1. Classification of the__ Event The licensee's emergency plan contains the criteria used to determine _ if a plant event warrYnts notif'ication of offsite agencies and the appropriate level of onsite response. The April 12, 1989, event during which the RCIC system pump suction piping was pressurized did not rneet the significance threshold which would require declaration of an Unusual Event, the lowest level of emergency plan event classification. ibis determination was sup-ported by the licensee's analysis at the time of the event, and was subse-quently confirmed by the NRC AIT. As a conservative measure the licensee maintains an internal notification procedure encompassing events of minor significance not requiring classification by the emergency plan, but of potential interest to licensee management, the NRC and other parties, In this instance the licensee determined that notification in accordance with their internal procedure was warranted, categorized the transient as an i "Of f-Normal" event , and implemented the planned notifications. No decla-ration was required by the licensee's emergency plan in this case. A complete description of this area is included in NRC AIT Report, Section 9.6.

The April 12, 1989, event during which the RCIC system pump suction piping was pressurized did not meet the significance threshold which would require declaration of an unusual Event, the lowest level of emergency plan event classification.

The NRC has established minimum education and experience requirements for-
' licensed operators, as well as other members of the plant technical staff.
These requirements are used to screen operator license candidates prior to administration of any license exam. The qualifications and training of the plant technical staf f are routinely evaluated as part of the ongoing NRC inspection program. The level of experience and training of the licensed operators at Pilgrim was extensively reviewed during the NRC Integrated Assessment Team Inspection (IATI) prior to authorizing plant restart. This review is documented in NRC Inspection Report 50-293/88-21 and noted that the experience of the Pilgrim operating staff constitutes a significant strength. Specific aspects- of personnel training which could have contributed to the subject event were also reviewed during-the recent AIT and are discussed in the report.
- 3. Relative Significance of the Event, the Occurrence of Past Similar Events, and_the Probability _of Reactor Ac_cidents_i_n_ General The NRC AIT concluded that this transient was minor since several barriers-remalned intact to mitigate the ef fects of a potentiFf7itE75pstshi' Toss 'bf cTolant. 'ThTTeam also concluded that the event did not constitute an accident precursor. 'I As described in the AIT report one similar occurrence involving the high pressure coolant injection system occurred at Pilgrim during 1983. This event was evaluated in 1983, and was revisited by the recent AIT to assess the applicability of past corrective actions to the recent problem.
Potential accident sequences and their relative probabilities have been the subject of extensive NRC and industry study. This large volume of information has been used to draw generic insights regarding accident j probability, in addition, many licensees have initiated plant specific probabilistic risk studies and utilized the results to improve individual plant designs and operating practices. Boston Edison has implemented a i plant-specific study which considers existing industry experience and data, as well as the Pilgrim plant design and operating history. This analysis indicates that the probability of a significant accident I occurring at Pilgrim is extremely low. . l 1

/ Contamination of the RCIC Pump Room as a Result of the Steam Released to 4.
the Room During the Transient During the transient _ water was discharged from the RCIC system into the surrounding area of the reactor building. Upon discharge some of the water flashed to steam. The source of the water is the maTii Teedwater system, and as a result both the water and the steam would contain some radioactive contaminants. Release of the fluid resulted in contamination of the general area and a brief period during which airborne contamination was present. While this is not a desirable circumstance, the reactor ,
building is designed to tolerate leaks such as this without any resultant l release to the environment. Plant personnel are trained to deal with con-ditions that include potential airborne contamination, and are monitored to ensure that protective measures have prevented any significant inhala-tion of-contamination. - -----

- 5. Steam Noted by a local Citizen Emminating from the Pilgrim Plant on Kay 10, 1989 The design of a boiling water reactor such as Pilgrim does not include provisions which would allow thc release of nuclear steam to the environ-ment during normal operations. During the time period in question the plant remained in cold shutdo'wn, so no nuclear steam was being generated.
There are two small oil fueled boilers used for heating buildings, and several diesel generators located onsite. It is possible that the individual you reference may have noted steam or exhaust emissions from one of these sources.
- 6. Security Planning for the Pilgrim Site The NRC requires that each licensee maintain and implement a security plan. This includes a contingency plan designed to provide for security force response to potential threats. While restrictions governing the
'l control of safeguards information prohibit any detailed discussions -
in this letter, these plans do include measures addressing external L assault. The Code of Federal Regulations, Title 10, Part 73 outlines the
! regulatory requirements and performance standards .used to evaluate the l- adequacy of licensee security. plans. ;
