Rocky Hill Road l Plymouth, Massachusetts o236o February 28, 1994 E. T. Boulette, PhD senor Vice President -Nuclear BEco 94-022 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555 License DPR-35 Docket 50-293 LONG TERM PROGRAM: SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT This letter provides the semi-annual Long Term Program (LTP) update in accordance with Section V.A of the " Plan for the Long Term Program - Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station". Attachment 1 includes schedules for the A and B regulatory items'.
Attachment 2 includes commitment descriptions, progress since the last update, and summaries of changes.
Since the last update, we determined that rescheduling the planned 94 Mid-Cycle Outage would be prudent for numerous reasons. The new planned start of the Mid-Cycle Outage is October 1, 1994. Refueling Outage #10 remains scheduled to begin on April 1, 1995.
In addition to Schedule A and B items, we are implementing plant betterment modifications and activities. These additional items, identified in Schedule C, are included in Attachment 3. Schedule C items are outside the regulatory scope of the Long Term Program and are exempt from the license conditions imposed on Schedule A and B items.
Progress has continued on the majority of Sciedule A and Schedule B items.
Changes in status since our last submittal are found in the lightly shaded sections of Attachment 2.

ATTACHMENT 2 MAINTENANCE RULE (LTP #584)
Commitment Description
)
10CFR50.65 " Requirements for Monitoring the Ef fectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants " was issued as a final rule on July 10, 1991 (Reference 1). Licensees are required to have in place by July 10, 1996, a program capable of monitoring the overall continuing effectiveness of their maintenance programs to ensure that safety related and certain non-safety related structures, systems, and components are capable of performing their intended functions; failures of non-safety related equipment will not occur which could prevent the fulfillment of safety related funcuans; and failures resulting in scrams and unnecessary actuations of safety related systems are minimized.
The rule has a five year implementation schedule with supporting regulatory guide development and promulgation expected within the first two years. This schedule allows three years for licensee development beyond the time that final guidance is expected to be available.

- 1. Federal Register Vol. 56 No.132, dated July 10, 1991 Commitment History / Progress Progress and Summary of Changes - March 1991 to August 1991 A program for ensuring compliance with the maintenance rule is being developed and will be provided in the next regular report for the LTP.
Progress and Summary of Changes - August 1991 to February 1992 Our implementation approach for the maintenance rule consists of two major aspects:
- A program to monitor the performance of specified structures, systems and components (SSCs) against established goals, and
- Use of the reliability centered maintenance (RCM) concept to upgrade the Station's Preventive maintenance program.
Development of our monitoring program is evolving in concert with the.
guidance documents being established by NUMARC and the NRC. The NUMARC guidance is being established to address.four areas: selection of SSCs to be covered by the rule; goal setting .and performance monitoring; demonstrating equipment functionality by inherent SSC characteristics or by appropriate preventive maintenance; and the removal of plant systems from service without '
affecting overall plant safety. We understand the NRC guidance will describe acceptable methods for Licensees to monitor the overall continuing effectiveness of their maintenance activities, while offering flexibilities in establishing goal setting, monitoring, and preventive maintenance ,
activities.

ATTACHMENT 2 (Continued) l SCHEDULE A The RCM program commenced in January 1992 with the formal establishment of an RCM team. The EPRI " Work Station" RCM software was selected for use in RCM system analysis. RCM team training on this software and RCM methodology was completed in January 1992.
The RCM program scope identifies and prioritizes 47 plant systems, each I requiring approximately 16 weeks of work. A number of systems will be worked i in parallel. Completion of the identified program scope is scheduled for May 1994.
Progress and Summary of Changes - March 1992 to August 15, 1992 ,
PNPS is continuing with a preventive maintenance program upgrade utilizing i RCM methodology. An additional system has been added to the RCM program scope bringing the total number of systems to 48. The analysis of three
, systems has been completed. The identification of SSCs within the scope of the maintenance rule is underway and scheduled for completion in 1992.
Progress and Summary of Changes - August 15, 1992 - February 15. 1993 The overall project continues on schedule. The RCM analysis of fourteen systems has been completed. The preliminary list of SSCs within the scope of the maintenance rule has been developed and issued for comment. A tailored collaboration with EPRI has been established and is in progress to develop a "Living PM Program" to assist in the programmatic aspects of the maintenance rule implementation plan.
Progress and Summary of Changes - February 15, 1993 - July 31, 1993 The project is on schedule. A total of 23 system RCM analyses are complete.
The Maintenance Rule Project plan is written, an implementation procedure is written, and three pilot systems have been completed.
Progress and Summary of Changes - August 1,1993 -. January 31, 1994 This project is on schedule. A total of 36 system RCM analyses are complete.
. We.have' started the production mode.of operation with 4 Maintenance Rule systems complete.

SCHEDULE A 10C 820 STANDARDS FOR PROTECTION AGAINST RADIAT10J (LTP #551)
't Commitment DescriptioD In Reference 1, the NRC issued a revision to the 10CFR20 requirements,
" Standards for Protection Against Radiation." These revisions became effective on June 20, 1991, and are required to be implemented by January'1, 1993, in their entirety. Licensees have the choice of implementing the new requirements in their entirety prior to January 1, 1994, with notification to the NRC, or continuing with the existing requirements until January 1, 1994, after which they must adopt the new requirements. Implementation of selected portions of the revised rule is not allowed prior to the January 1, 1994 deadline.
The revised rule changes the existing radiation protection requirements and practices, accounting of occupational exposures, maintenance of exposure records, General Employee Training, and Health Physics training. The NRC is also revising certain Regulatory Guides and issuing new Regulatory Guides to provide regulatory positions and guidance for implementing the revised requirements.
In reference 3, the NRC extended the original January 1,1993 implementation date for 10CFR20 until January 1, 1994.
Beferences
- 1. Federal Register Vol. 56 No. 98, dated May 21, 1991
- 2. 57FR21216 Extension of Implementation Date, Proposed Rule, dated May 19, 1992
- 3. 57FR38588 Standards for Protection Against Radiation, Extension of Implementation Date, dated August 26, 1992 Commitment History / Progress Progress and Summary of Changes - March 1991 to August 1991 A program is being developed to ensure compliance with the revised requirements within the prescribed implementation schedule and will be provided in the next regular report for the LTP.
Progress and Summary of Changes - August 1991 to February 1992 Selected personnel in the Nuclear Organization were trained in the requirements of the revised 10CFR20, and program elements for the implementation of the requirement:: have been developed. These are: a new system for Radiological Information Management, revision and development of new procedures, development of a training module and training of personnel, and equipment evaluation for potential modifications. These elements are in various stages of implementation. Additionally, we worked with NUMARC in the development of comments on several draft regulatory guides issued by the NRC in the October / November 1991 time frame. We are continuing our effort for the implementation of the requirement by using NRC guidance from draft regulatory guides.
Implementation of the final rule is on schedule for completion by January 1, 1993.

SCHEDULE B SEISMIC VERIFICATION PROGRAM (G. L. 87-02_1 (LTP #410)
Commitment Description The NRC's final Supplemental Safety Evaluation Report (SER) on Revision 2 of the Generic Implementation Procedures (GIP-2) for A-46 was issued via Generic Letter 87-02, Supplement 1, on May 22, 1992 (Reference 4). By September 21, 1992, each licensee was required to respond to the SER stating whether they intend to follow the GIP-2 guidance, provide a schedule for implementation of the GIP including ,
submission of a report summarizing the results of the A-4G review, and provide information on the procedures and criteria used to generate the in-structure response spectra used for A-46 implementation. Evaluation of equipment is to include (a) adequacy of equipment anchorage; (b) functional capability of essential ;
relays; (c) identification of potential outliers and deficiencies; and (d) seismic systems interactions.
In our response (Reference 5), we committed to implement GIP-2 in its entirety and provided a description of the procedures and criteria used to generate the in-structure response spectra. A schedule of GIP-2 implementation and submission of a summary report was deferred to the February 1993 LTP semi-annual update (provided below).
In Reference 6, the NRC issued a Safety Evaluation Report (SER) approving our response. The SER assumed a commitment on BECo's part to implement the GIP-2 in its entirety and noted our in-structure response spectra should be treated as median-centered. We affirmed the NRC assumption to be correct in Reference 7 and clarified our continued commitment to implement the seismic verification program at Pilgrim Station through the GIP-2 and its subsequent revisions.
Our schedule for completion of the GIP and submission of a summary report is 120 days following completion of Refueling Outage #10, currently planned to commence in ,
April, 1995. This schedule is consistent with the 3-year completion recommended in '
SSER Section II 4.2.3 that specifies commencement of the 3-year period will begin when one of the following conditions is met:
- Receipt of staff approval of the in-structure response spectra to be used to resolve the USI A-46 (i.e. Reference 6). '
. 60 days following the licensee's initial submittal of acceptable procedures and criteria in generating those in-structure response spectra.

SCHEDULE B Progress and Summary of Changes - December 1990 to February 1991 Based on improvements undertaken to address NRC evaluations of our security perimeter conducted in 1990, and recent events in the Persian Gulf, we have re-focused our efforts involving physical security improvements to include additional work activities aimed at strengthening perimeter security. These additional activities will be completed in 1991 and include:
Upgrading the E-Field to a Series 5000 Installing a new Video Capture System Enhancing site lighting The integration of these activities with the present LTP activities necessitate changes to the projected completion dates. Progress summary and schedule changes are as follows:
- Construction has begun on a new facility to house the new security system computer. Renovations to the bottom floor of the Main Gate House have also begun. This is part of the revised security facilities scope. This work will continue through 1992; thus, the completion date is changed from December 31, 1991 to December 31, 1992.
- A new backup power supply (diesel generator) has been ordered, and expected.
delivery is March 1991. Final completion of installation is revised to December 31, 1992 to coincide with the computer facilities upgrade schedule.
- Performance acceptance testing of the new security computer system at the manufacturer's facilities has identified system problems that have delayed delivery. Delivery is anticipated within the next several months; therefore, staging and commencement of training and security operating procedure revisions are planned for 1991. The final completion date for the computer and access control equipment is changed to December 31, 1992.

SCHEDULE B GENERIC LETTER 89-10 SAFETY-RELATED M0V TESTING AND SURVEILLANCE (LTP #487)
Commitment Description Generic Letter 89-10 (Ref.1) expands the scope of the motor operated valve program required by NRC Bulletin 85-03 and its Supplement, to include additional testing, inspecting, and maintenance for all safety-related motor operated valves.
In our Reference 2 response to the Generic Letter, we committed to develop a program to enhance the maintenance, analysis, and testing already being conducted on M0Vs at Pilgrim. The Generic Letter calls for the development of this program within 1 year or one refueling outage from the date of the letter, whichever is later. For BECo, this schedule translates to RF0 #8. Our plan was to begin a design basis review of MOVs in the first quarter of 1991 and to begin testing in RF0 #9. Based on resource constraints in 1990, we revised the design basis review schedule to commence in the last quarter of 1991. This revision continues to support our commitment to begin testing in RF0 #9 and supports our program development schedule. We anticipate the testing will require three refueling outages, based on the extent of known scope. Additional scope determinations as a result of NUMARC and BWROG involvement will be factored into our final scope and schedule as appropriate.
Reference 6 requested Licensees to perform a plant specific safety assessment to determine if generic safety assessments performed by the NRC staff and the BWR Owners' Group are applicable. If MOVs are discovered with potential deficiencies of greater significance than the HPCI, RCIC, and RWCU MOVs, planned activities to address the generic letter were to be re-prioritized accordingly.
Notification within 30 days of receipt of Supplement 3 was required verifying a plant-specific safety assessment was performed and identifying whether there were MOVs with deficiencies of greater safety significance than in the HPCI, RCIC, and RWCU systems. An additional notification within 120 days of receipt was also requested to provide the criteria reflecting operating experience and.
the latest test data applied in determining whether deficiencies exist ~ in the HPCI, RClC, and RWCU MOVs.
In our Reference 7 letter, we concluded the subject valves in the HPCI, RCIC, and RWCU systems were capable of performing their safety function to provide I containment isolation in the event of a line break outside containment. This i submittal provided our 30 and 120 day response to the generic letter and l precluded having to perform a plant specific safety assessment. We also committed in Reference 7 to conduct diagnostic testing on the Reactor Water Cleanup (RWCU) M0-1201-2 valve during RF0 #8. We expanded our planned RF0 #8 testing to include 2 additional valves: RWCU M0-1201-5 and Closed Cooling Water MO-4010A.
The NRC issued a Request for Additional Information (RAI) (Reference 10) after reviewing our Reference 7 and 8 responses to GL 89-10 Supplement 3. BECo responded to the RAI on August 29, 1991 (Ref. 11).

Progress and Summary of Changes - March 1991 to August 1991
- Operator access to RHR Vent Valves is complete
- Re-routing of the vent lines for valves 10-H0-397/398 is complete.
- Additional LPECCS vibration monitoring was performed during RF0 #8. The LPECCS vibration monitoring system was activated to monitor during the shutdown cooling mode. The system was set to continuously monitor various accelerometer locations to trigger an alarm upon high vibration due to a water hammer event or valve cavitation. No system activation occurred at the established setpoints and no failure of vent or drain welds were discovered during the last operating cycle. We attribute this reduction in water hammer events to the activities undertaken to enhance venting capabilities as mentioned above and changes made to operator venting instructions such as backflushing to remove any steam bubbles prior to venting. Therefore, we intend to continue the monitoring ,
during the present fuel cycle with lower setpoints. More attention will.now be ,
focused on vibration related to steady-state flow and valve . cavitation.- Steady-state vibration data will be recorded from'each data point with the system operating in the torus cooling and mixing modes at various flow rates. An analysis of this steady-state vibration will then be performed. Based on the results of the analysis, additional vibration surveys of the piping system may be performed using portable vibration instrumentation. . During the next mid-cycle outage, similar monitoring will be performed with the system in the shutdown cooling mode. Once the vibration under these conditions has been analyzed, we will determine the need for any alternative activities.
Replace RHR Discharge Pressure Switches (Low Pressure Alarm) is complete.
Progress and Summary of Changes - August 1991 to February 1992 !
Vibration monitoring has been conducted since RF0 #8 for ten monitoring I locations identified as areas of particular interest by previous investigations.
Based upon preliminary monitoring to date, the trigger level for alarming and-data acquisition was lowered. Previously, the system was set to trigger on potentially high level transients caused by water hammer events. In the absence j of any of these transients, the alarm levels are now set to detect lower '
vibration levels indicative of valve throttling and/or cavitation. Monitoring and data recording of these ten locations will continue. Particular attention will be given to shutdown cooling, suppression pool cooling, and surveillance testing.

SCHEDULE B Progress and Summary of Changes - March 1992 to August 15, 1992 Monitoring and data recording of the ten locations is continuing. Shutdown cooling, suppression pool cooling, and surveillance testing monitoring will be performed during MCO 9. The need for alternative activities will be determined once the vibration under these conditions has been analyzed. Corrective actions previously taken appear successful; no failures occurred during this report period.
Progress and Summary of Changes - August 15, 1992 - February 15, 1993 Monitoring of the original ten locations was completed in MCO 9. The data evaluation is in progress' ISI inspections during MC0 9 found one RHR lateral restraint with failed structural welds. Additional strain gauge and vibration monitoring was done immediately after repair of the support. A root cause analysis has shown that normal system startup transients were the primary cause_
of low cycle fatigue failure. Support modifications are being designed to l prevent recurrence. A schedule will be provided in the next LTP submittal.
Progress and Summary of Changes - February 15, 1993 - July 31, 1993 The final root cause evaluation and related calculations for the failed RHR lateral restraint (H10-1-102S) determined that steady-state vibration stress levels are negligible versus the normal system startup transient stresses.
Steady-state vibration, therefore, did not contribute to the failure of this support. The final evaluation included a conceptual design for a new RHR lateral restraint to be added to share the startup transient loads with the existing seismic restraints. The detailed piping aesign calculation for RHR.is-now being revised to include the conceptual support modifications so that the suitability of the modification can be evaluated. The detailed support design will then be done to produce a Plant Design Change package. It is anticipated that the modifications can be done with the plant on-line in 1994.
Progress and Summary of Changes - August 1,1993 - January 31,l1994 A plant design change to address vibration related support failures on _the RHR piping is being prepared by engineering and the modifications will be completed in 1994. ' RHR lateral restraint H10-1-102S will. be modified to withstand the system startup transient loads that were found to have caused the previous weld failure. No other piping or pipe support weld failures have been detected since this LTP monitoring _ effort began in 1990. This LTP will be closed when the RHR pipo support modification is completed. If any piping or support' failures occur in the future, they will be addressed within the station's Problem Report process.

Commitment Description In response to GL 88-20 Supplement 4 (Ref. -1), BEco provided a program plan for completing an Individual Plant Examination of External Events (IPEEE) for severe accident vulnerabilities for the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (Ref. 2). The JPEEE scope will include seismic events, internal fires, high winds, external floods, and transportation and nearby facility accidents.
Our schedule for completing the IPEEE and submitting the results is July 1, 1994. Significant milestones include:
- Initiate Fire PRA tasks
- Initiate Seismic PRA tasks
- Initiate remaining external event tasks
- Screening walkdowns for fire and seismic
- Final seismic walkdowns
- Complete Fire PRA
- Complete remaining external events
- Complete Seismic PRA
- Integrate IPE/IPEEE The NRC confirmed the acceptability of our schedule and program plan in Reference 3.

, Utility Group (SQUG). Because of the similarities of the A-46 and seismic IPEEE programs, we intend to conduct walkdowns at the same time to avoid repetition of essentially the same work within a short time span. This is consistent with the Generic Letter 88-20, Supplement 4, guidance that states; "USI-A-46 should be coordinated with the IPEEE so the objectives of both activities may be accomplished with a single walkdown effort." However, the anticipated Supplemental Safety Evaluation Report (SSER) on the SQUG's Generic Implementation Procedure (GIP) for resolution of USI-A-46 has not been made available within the October 1991 time frame, as expected by the NRC when Supplement 4 was issued. The issuance of the SSER will affect the achievement of the above-planned walkdown tasks and ultimately the IPEEE completion date.
The final issuance date, the content of the SSER, and the resolution of open issues, will be factors in establishing a program schedule for conducting the seismic IPEEE.

SCHEDULE B CLASS I PIPING SEISMIC DAMPING RATIO (LTP #599)
Commitment Description In Reference 1, BECo committed to re-evaluate two changes to the Final Safety ,
Analysis Report (FSAR) in which certain Class I piping seismic damping ratios were increased and NRC approval for the damping ratio changes was not sought under 10CFR50.59. Planned actions included identification of stress analyses where the higher damping ratios were used, resolution of discrepancies between the existing design and the regulatory guidelines, development of enhanced design specifications for piping and supports, and systematic review of safety grade piping systems to demonstrate conformance with the appropriate specification. These activities were planned for completion by RF0 #9.
During the implementation of these actions, we decided to integrate a segment of our GL 87-02, Supplement 4, activities involving soil / structure interaction studies and floor response spectra methodologies. Doing so would optimize resources and effect consistency in the seismic design basis.
This approach was initially discussed with the NRC in Reference 2 during which we also committed to provide a summary level detail of scope and projected schedule in the next LTP update. Our plan is as follows:
- Develop New Reactor Building Floor Spectra (complete)
This task produce new floor spectra for the Reactor Building for both the Housner and R.G. 1.60 ground response spectra, anchored at 0.089 OBE and 0.15g SSE. The spectra includes the benefit of soil structure interaction and time history inputs that produce ground response spectra closely fitting the Housner and R.G.1.60 spectral shapes.
- Perform Spectra Comparisons and confirmatory stress analyses (complete).
The seismic demand imposed by the new Housner floor spectra at original design basis damping levels will be compared to the spectra with elevated damping levels used pursuant to R.G.1,61 and Code Case N411. The new Housner floor spectra essentially envelope the spectra with elevated damping. This means piping analysis with the new spectra would produce .
lower stresses and hanger loads. Confirmatory pipe stress analyses are also being performed. We expect the final results will demonstrate we can meet the original design basis damping requirements with the new floor spectra as the seismic demand basis.
. Assess Results and Determine Design Basis Application (compl ete) .
This includes a decision on whether to propose adopting the new Housner floor spectra as our design basis and the new R.G.1.60 floor spectra in conjunction with the use of R.G. 1.61 and Code Case N411 damping as well as developing a final LER response.
= Forward Licensing Submittals to NRC, as necessary, in Accordance With Above Assessment Results (complete).

Commitment History /PCo.gress o
Progress and Summary of Changes - March 1992 to August 15, 1992 We are presently re-evaluating the effects of using Code Case N-411 damping ratios with the design basis seismic response spectra in the analysis of safety-related piping systems. The conservatisms of our original design damping ratios and response spectra will be compared to conservatism of the more recent seismic damping ratios of. Code Case N-411 when used in conjunction with the response spectra of Regulatory Guide 1.60. The Scram Discharge piping will be the first system to be re-analyzed with this revised amplified response spectra.
Progress and Summary of Changes - August 15, 1992 - February 15, 1993 In Reference 2, we notified the NRC of planned changes to the original Reference 1 plan of action. The revised action plan is described above under the commitment description section. Future reporting of status and scope will continue via LTP Program updates.
Progress and Summary of Changes - February 15, 1993 - July 31, 1993 New Reactor Building Floor Spectra were generated. Final acceptance of the spectra by our Engineering Department occurred in August 1993.
Spectra comparisons and confirmatory stress analyses are planned to be completed by September 30, 1993. Resulting applicable Licensing correspondence is planned for submittal on or before December 1,1993.
Progress and Summary of ChangesL- August 1, 1993 - January 31, 1994 The results of our Spectra comparisons and confirmatory stress analyses demonstrated the original design basis damping requirements are met with the new.
floor spectra as the seismic demand basis. Based on these results we concluded >
existing R.G.1.61/N-411 damping spectra analyses have substantial margins and are conservative when compared to the new Housner floor spectra and the new R.G.
1.60 spectra with N-411 damping. Since these results are less than design basis allowables, we concluded no further systematic piping re-analyses are required and the new spectra calculations are valid for design basis considerations. The specific details of the methodology and results were presented to the NRC during ,
a meeting at our facilities on October 14, 1993.
We consider the application of the new spectra applicable only to the resolution of the damping issues identified in LER 92-001-00 and any future design basis reviews, evaluations, analyses, or other considerations will be based on existing FSAR design criteria. We are considering, further, the submittal ofi the new spectra to the'NRC for review and approval as an FSAR amendment, but this decision is. beyond the resolution scope for. closure of this LTP item.
Based on the above actions and resulting conclusions'we consider this item closed and it will be removed from future LTP submittals.

SCHEDULE B RWCU PIPING REPLACEMENT (LTP #600)
Commitment Description Generic Letter 88-01 was issued to address Intergranular Stress Corrosion Cracking (IGSCC) in stainless steel pipe materials. BEco replaced the recirculation system and IGSCC susceptible material in the drywell. BECo responded to the NRC and committed to comply with Generic Letter 88-01 except for the RWCU system between valves 1201-5 and 1201-80. This response was rejected by the NRC Safety Evaluation of the BECo Generic letter 88-01 response (NRC Letter 1.90.104, 4/26/90). BECo responded (BECo Letter 2.90.140, 11/15/90) by stating the following for the non-safety portion of the RWCU system: "We will perform an inspection of 10% of these welds during each refueling cycle. If a flaw is discovered in the 10% sample and IGSCC is determined as the probable cause, another 10% will be inspected. If an IGSCC induced flaw is discovered in the second 10% sample, no further inspections will be conducted. The identified flaws will be repaired and plans will be made to replace RWCU non-code piping in subsequent refueling outages."
IGSCC susceptible pipe per Generic Letter 88-10 is non-resistant austentic stainless steel pipe 4" NPS and greater operating at a temperature greater than 200 F.
During RF0 #8 inspections were made of the safety and 10% of the non-safety (non-code) pipe. IGSCC was found. There was a discussion with the NRC at that time and the commitment quoted above was altered. Rather than inspect an additional 10% of the non-safety pipe, the areas of the safety and non-safety pipe that had IGSCC would be replaced and all IGSCC susceptible pipe would be replaced in future outages. This increased the original scope by adding the safety-related RWCU pipe into the replacement commitment. Piping was replaced in the areas where IGSCC was found during RF0 #8 by Plant Design Change 91-39.

SCHEDULE 8 LOW PRE 15URE TURBINE ROTOR REPLACEMENT PROJECT (LTP #401)
C J mmitment Description As a result of a generic industry concern of cracking in shrunk-on wheels of low pressure rotors, General Electric issued TIL857-3 in 1978 which outlined a newly designed testing process known as the " Wheel Sonic Test". When General E hctric inspected the PNP 3 low pressure rotors for this phenomenon in 1980, these cracks were discovered in the axial keyway. Inspactions ?n subsequent refueling outages have determined that some of the existing cracts have propagated and a few new cracks have formed over the succeeding operating cycles.
The shrunk-on wheels on the low pressure rotors have identified cracks in the hub and web regions of the keyways on 8 stages of LP B rotor and 8 stages of the LP A rotor. These cracks are individually less than the lower bound critical crack sizes. Dovetail cracking near the tangential entry slot was indicated by ultrasonic test performed on LP A rotor during RF09. Some buckets were removed from the 6G-stage and additional cleaning, magneti ,
particle testing, and grinding were performed. Removal of 30 mils at two of the worst indications showed that the crack size was decreasing and further grinding was suspended. The buckets were reinstalled and the turbine was reassembl ed . Other indications were noted on the SG & 6T wheels.
Erosion / corrosion of the inner castings for LP A and B required repairs in RF0 8 and RF0 9, respectively. Deterministic analysis of the keyway cracks was performed by Structural Integrity Associates and showed that the rotor could be safely operated for an additional cycle. New LP rotors are scheduled for installation during RF010.
Commitment History / Progress Progress and Summary of Changes - February 15, 1993 - July 31, 1993
- Bids were received and evaluated for various replacement options. A letter of intent was issued to General Electric Company on July 2,1993.

SCHEDULE B NEUTRON FLUX MONITORING (LTP #377)
Commitment Description Generic Letter 82-33 required utilities to report on implementation of R'egulatory Guide 1.97. Boston Edison, and some other utilities with Boiling Water Reactors, took exception to requirements related to neutron flux monitoring systems. Subsequently, the BWR Owners. Group submitted NED0-31558 that proposed alternate criteria for neutron flux monitoring. NRC issued a safety evaluation and accepted the NED0-31558 criteria in Reference 1.
In Reference 2, the NRC requested utilities to review the neutron flux monitoring instrumentation against the NEDO-31558.to determine whether the installed system meets the criteria and to submit a letter to the NRC with the results of the review.
Boston Edison's reply (Reference 3), identified that Pilgrim Station met _the ~
criteria of NED0-31558 with certain clarifications and exceptions.
Our- exception concerned the requirements for uninterruptible power supplies (Criterion 5.2.8 of NED0-31558). Boston Edison took exception and provided a basis for the acceptability of the present Pilgrim Station design (Reference 3).
We are taking no further action on this item.
In Reference 3, Boston Edison committed to perform an analysis of the ATWS conditions in the drywell for comparison with NMS design specifications. We further stated we would be working with other BWR owners on this issue.

The BWROG task is underway and expected to be complete in approximately 6 months. We will-provide an update on the analysis and its results in the next LTP update at which time we expect to be able to identify what,'if any, additional efforts will be required.
