RE0 VEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (RAI)

NRC BULLETIN 95-02 LIMERICK GENERATING STATION. UNITS 1 AND 2 PEACH BOTTOM ATOMIC POWER STATION. UNITS 2 AND 3 (1) In PECO's June 10, 1996 response to the NRC staff's May 9, 1996 RAI, PECO described a four part program for ensuring adequate suppression pool cleanliness which PECO stated was an effective program to demonstrate both short-term and long-term operability of the Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS). However, your response to NRC Bulletin 96-03 appears to indicate that this program may not be maintained in the long-term as described in your June 10, 1996 response. Please describe what surveillances/ inspections you intend to conduct or implement in the future regarding suppression pool and strainer cleanliness to ensure long-term operability of the ECCS. Please include a description of the frequency and acceptance criteria to be used. In addition, please describe your specific plans for implementing a suppression pool cleaning program, including frequency and acceptance criteria. Provide your basis for concluding that these actions will be adequate to ensure that the ECCS will always be sufficiently free of debris to ensure its capability to perform its intended function.
