NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50–295 and 50–304]

Commonwealth Edison Company (Zion

Nuclear Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and

2)

Exemption

I

Commonwealth Edison Company

(ComEd or the licensee) is the holder of

Facility Operating License Nos. DPR–39

and DPR–48, which authorize operation

of the Zion Nuclear Power Station, Unit

Nos. 1 and 2, at a steady-state reactor

power level not in excess of 3250

megawatts thermal. The facilities are

pressurized water reactors located at the

licensee’s site in Lake County, Illinois.

The licenses provide, among other

things, that the Zion Nuclear Power

Station is subject to all rules,

regulations, and Orders of the U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the

Commission or NRC) now or hereafter

in effect.

II

Sections III.C and III.D.3 of 10 CFR

part 50, appendix J, require that Type C

local leak rate periodic tests shall be

performed during reactor shutdown for

refueling, or other convenient intervals,

but in no case at intervals greater than

2 years. These requirements are

reflected in the Zion Technical

Specifications (TS) as requirements to

perform type C containment leak rate

testing in accordance with 10 CFR part

50, appendix J, and approved

exemptions.

III

The licensee has determined that

certain containment isolation pathways

have not been locally leak rate tested

(type C tests) as required by appendix J

to 10 CFR part 50. In a letter dated

August 16, 1995, the licensee requested

relief from the requirement to perform

the type C containment leak rate tests of

certain penetrations and valves in these

pathways in accordance with the

requirements of sections III.C and III.D

of 10 CFR part 50, appendix J. On

August 16, 1995 the staff authorized in

writing, continued operation of the Zion

units in a notice of enforcement

discretion (NOED) until such time as the

staff acted on the exemption requests. In

a letter dated November 20, 1995, the

staff granted the schedular exemptions

requested in the licensee’s letter of

August 16, 1995, and granted schedular

exemptions for the permanent

exemption requests to allow time for

additional staff review and until final

staff action could be taken. In its letter

of November 28, 1995, and

supplemented on December 6, 1995, the

licensee requested that certain

schedular exemption requests be

granted as permanent exemptions.

The licensee’s letter of November 28,

1995, requested permanent exemptions

for components in the following

containment penetrations:

Units 1 and 2: P–70, Valve

1(2)SF8767, Refuel Cavity to

Purification Pump; P–99, Valve

1(2)SF8787, Purification Pump to Refuel

Cavity.

The licensee’s letter of November 28,

1995, also requested that the following

permanent exemption requests be

changed to schedular exemption

requests.

Units 1 and 2: P–77, 1(2)PP0101,

1(2)PP0102, 1(2)PP0103, 1(2)PP0104

(Penetration Pressurization to

Containment Valve Stations); P–102,

1(2)AOV–RC8029 (Primary Water to the

Pressurizer Relief Tank).

For unit 1, the penetrations would be

tested during the refueling outage in the

fall of 1995, and for unit 2, they would

be tested during the next cold shutdown

of sufficient duration, and subsequently

thereafter as required. For P–77 and P–

102, the staff’s letter of November 20,

1995, granted schedular exemptions

until December 31, 1995, at which time

final action will be taken. This

schedular exemption still applies for

units 1 and 2.

The licensee’s letter of November 28,

1995, also requested that for P–44, the

permanent exemption request be

changed to a schedular exemption

request. In a letter dated December 6,

1995, the licensee withdrew the

previous requests because it intends to

test the penetration in accordance with

the requirements of 10 CFR part 50,

appendix J.

The licensee’s request dated

November 28, 1995, justified the

proposed permanent exemptions for P–

70 and P–99 on the following basis.

For P–70 and P–99, the tests were

intended to be performed with air by

installing a hole plug to allow a pressure

source hookup while maintaining an

adequate pressure boundary. During a

walkdown of the test boundary, it was

identified that the design of the piping

for these penetrations does not allow

draining of accumulated water in the

line and, therefore, prevents a proper

leak rate test with air per the

requirements of 10 CFR part 50,

appendix J. The piping configurations

were not known to the licensee when

the exemption request dated August 16,

1995, was submitted. For P–70, in

addition to not being able to completely

drain the line, the dose rates for the

location where the hole plug would

have to be installed are extremely high,

on the order of 1–2 Rem/hour. For P–

99, the piping configuration is such that

the location of the test connection

would pose a personnel safety issue

since the connection is located on the

side of the refueling cavity

approximately 30 feet above the cavity

floor. In its submittal dated November

28, 1995, the licensee, therefore,

requested a permanent exemption to be

allowed to perform the test with water.

If the exemptions were approved,

dewatering of the lines would not be

necessary, and the isolation for the test

boundaries would be by other means.

The test would be performed by

pressurizing the subject valve with

water to approximately 100 psig (greater

than Pa, which is 47 psig) and

inspecting the valve for leakage. The

acceptance criterion will be the same as

the other tests which use water as a test

medium, zero leakage.

The leakage pathways for P–70 and P–

99 do not consist of through-valve
