Attention: Charles L Miller, Director iStandardization and Non Power Reactor Project Directorate

Subject: Submittal of Responses to Resolve Safety Evaluation Issues as Requested in.

NRC Letter from Dino C. Scaletti, May 1,1990.

Reference: 1. . P.W. Marriott to Charles L Miller, same subject, MFN No.' 061-90 !May 31,1990.

2. P.W. Marriott to Charles L. Miller, same subject, MFN No. 088 90,July 16,1990.

! Enclosed are thirty four (34) copies of GE responses to resolve two additional subject safetyevaluation issues for the Advanced Boiling Water Reactor (ABWR), Reference. I provided themajority of the responses. The specific issues covered by this transmittal are:

(1) The method of attachment of the level instruments that facilitate the automatic switch -over of the HPCF and RCIC pumps from the CST to the suppression pool. (PDSERSection 9.2.9). 3

(2) Final sizing of the RCW heat exchangers, (PDSER Section 9.2.11).

OE believes that the modifications to the ABWR SSAR provided in the attachment will resolve' these issues. It is intended that GE will amend the SSAR with these responses in a futureamendment.

Resolution of the final issue pertaining to the remaining portions of the MUWP system that are.j within the scope of the SSAR will be provided by Reference 2.L'
