This equipment has been procured, stored appropriately, and tested to verify its operation. Also, a calculation was prepared to conGrm that the portable ventilation fans and Hexible ductwork will provide adequate ventilation in the non tire areas to ensure equipment operability for achieving the Appendix R safe shutdown. | |||

During a subsequent NRC inspection of Unit 2 Restart readiness conducted between the period May 19 . 9 and June 13,1997, Mr. David Butler of NRC Region 111 inquired regarding our intent to conduct performara testing for this portable ventilation equipment. We replied by committing to conduct appropriate perfonnance testing by August 30,1997.

On August 21,1997, we participated in a telephone conference with NRC's Linda Gundrum, Dave Butler, Bob Shaw, and Steve West to discuss the expected scope of our planned performance testing.

During the performance test, the normal ventilation will be secured and thepow rate (s)from theSexible ductwork will bs measured. In addition, the test will provide a qualisative demonstration that the air distribution provided by Ihe portable ventilation system willprovide adequatepow to emure equipment operability.

During a subsequent NRC inspection of Unit 2 Restart readiness conducted between the period May 19 . 9 and June 13,1997, Mr. David Butler of NRC Region 111 inquired regarding our intent to conduct performara testing for this portable ventilation equipment. We replied by committing to conduct appropriate perfonnance testing by August 30,1997. Because of the extended Unit 2 outage duration and the priority established for the safe restart of Unit 2, Wisconsin Electric has not had available resources to supnort that verbal commitment.
On August 21,1997, we participated in a telephone conference with NRC's Linda Gundrum, Dave Butler, Bob Shaw, and Steve West to discuss the expected scope of our planned performance testing. In summary, we proposed to conduct a test in the Cable Spreading Room to verify the airpow rate (s)from fans usedai input to the design calculation.
