SUBJECT:

Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant Unit Nos. 1 & 2; Docket Nos. 50-317 & 50-318 Response to Request for Additional Information: Safety Injection Tank Verification Frequency (TAC Nos. MB3974 and MB3975)

REFERENCE:

(a) Letter from C. H. Cruse (CCNPP) to Document Control Desk (NRC),

dated January 31, 2002, License Amendment Request: Safety Injection Tank Verification Frequency In the Reference (a), Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant requested a change to the method for complying with the sampling surveillance in the Technical Specifications for the Safety Injection Tanks (SITs). In a phone call held on August 21, 2002, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Staff requested that we respond to several questions concerning that amendment request. The Attachment (1) contains the requested information.

In addition to the requested information, we have determined that the reliability of the SITs should be tracked under the Maintenance Rule. Appropriate goals will be set for the SITs based on the boron concentration from SIT samples.

SAFETY INJECTION TANK VERIFICATION FREQUENCY Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Inc.

September 18, 2002

ATTACHMENT (1)

RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

SAFETY INJECTION TANK VERIFICATION FREQUENCY NRC Question 1 The frequency of a large break loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) is assumed to be 2E-6/yr. It is stated that this frequency is derived from a log normal interpolation of the data provided in NUREG/CR-5750 for large break LOCAs. However, it is not clear how the 2E-6/yr frequency was derived. NUREG/CR-5750 recommends a mean value of 5E-6/yr for large break frequency in PWRs. Please clarify.

CCNPPResponse The NUREG/CR-5750 large break LOCA frequency is based on LOCA break sizes between a 6" diameter pipe and double-ended rupture. The Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant large LOCA frequency is based on a break size between 0.5 ft2 (9.57" diameter pipe) and double-ended rupture.

The NUREG/CR initiating event frequency for small break LOCAs is about 100 times larger than the large break LOCA. This data indicates that the likelihood of a break logarithmically decreases as the break size increases. The log of the pipe diameters for the NUREG verses the frequency of break data was least squares fit (all points were used). This fit was used to determine the equivalent initiating event frequency for the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant large break LOCA range.

NRC Question 2 On page 4 it is stated:

"The SIT [safety injection tank] boron concentrationsample data is evaluatedusing data after these

[check valve seat]replacements. This replacement reducedthe amount of leakage into the SITs. The SIT concentrationsample data is evaluatedusing dataafter these replacements... there is less than a 0.2% chance that the boron concentration will fall below 2300 ppm on a single SIT given monthly surveillance."

The staff needs more detailed information about the data and the approach used to calculate the likelihood of low (below 2300 PPM) boron concentration given current and proposed surveillance requirements.

This additional information should include all data points used, a brief description of the "median ranking method," as well as the major steps and important intermediate results needed to understand what and how was done.

CCNPPResponse The likelihood of a boron concentration below 2300 PPM was determined using the median rank method. For example:

Rank Data Median Rank (j) (PPM) (j-0.3)/(n+0.4) 1 2394 0.20%

2 2453 0.48%

3 2459 0.77%

4 2465 1.05%

352 2695 99.80%

The risk analysis contained 352 data points (i.e., n=352). There were no samples that fell below 2300 PPM (i.e., j=l). Therefore, the rank associated with the first point would be 0.2%. This is conservative, as the lowest PPM in the data was 2394 PPM.

RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

SAFETY INJECTION TANK VERIFICATION FREQUENCY The next step in the risk evaluation is determining what the concentrations would be with a six-month interval. The base assumption is that the number of gallons of Reactor Coolant System (RCS) fluid that leaks into the SITs is proportional to the surveillance interval. For example, if 20 gallons of RCS fluid enters the SIT in a one-month interval, then 120 gallons would enter the SIT in a six-month interval.

On the surface, this conservative assumption would seem to mean that the change in boron concentration between surveillance tests would be proportionally larger. For example, a 10 PPM reduction in boron concentration in a one-month interval would represent a 60 PPM reduction for a six-month interval. But with the RCS boron concentration dropping due to normal operation, the change is actually larger. For example, a 10 PPM change in SIT concentration in the first month following an outage would take many more gallons of RCS fluid to accomplish than a 10 PPM change in SIT concentration in the sixth month after the outage. Considering this effect, the delta change in PPM is considered to be 7.6 times larger during the six-month interval (e.g., a 10 PPM becomes a 76 PPM change).

Excerpts for median ranking for the estimated six-month interval testing are:

Median Rank Rank Order Data Percentile (j) (PPM) (j-0.3)/(n+0.4) 1 1901 0.20%

2 2005 0.49%

3 2107 0.78%

8 2302 2.24%

344 3807 99.80%

As some of the data was used to calculate the delta interval for the last data point (i.e., four SITs per Unit). This ranking has only 344 data points (i.e., 344=352-8). This conservative approach yields a 2% likelihood that the boron concentration will fall below 2300 PPM. Complete ranking data and results are given in Table 1.

NRC Question 3 On page 2 it is stated:

"To justify this proposed change, the SIT levels, volume additions, leakage in, leakage out, and sample concentrations (for the RCS and SITs) were evaluatedfor both units for a six month period from July 1, 1999 to December 31, 1999. A review has shown thisperiodto be representative of SIT behaviorsince 1997."

(a) Please explain how the review has shown that the data for those six months are representative for the entire period since the valve seats have been replaced. Were data from this six-month period only used in the risk assessment?

(b) Were there any instances, since valve seat replacement, where the boron concentration was found by sampling to be close or below 2300 PPM?

RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

SAFETY INJECTION TANK VERIFICATION FREQUENCY (c) Were there any instances, since valve seat replacement, where the in-leakage flow rate was such that if it had been allowed to continue for six months without proper boron addition would cause the SIT boron concentration to fall below 2300 PPM? Please explain and provide data to support your statements, as needed.

(d) The table provided in page 2 includes data for a six-month period and lists boron concentration at the beginning and the end of such period. This information does not show whether there would be instances of low boron concentration at the end of the six-month period if the information from the monthly sampling had not been available. Low boron concentration at the end of the six-month period could occur since leakage out of the tank can mask leakage into the tank and proper addition of boron would not have occurred without the monthly sampling. Please explain and provide data to support your conclusion.

CCNPP Response 3(a) Sample data for the entire period since the valve seats were replaced was reviewed. No unusual data perturbations were noted. The trend noted in the chosen six month period was consistent with trends for the entire period since the valve seats were replaced.

3(b) There are no instances, since valve seat replacement, when the boron concentration was found to be near or below 2300 PPM.

3(c) On March 2, 1999, the level in the No. 21A SIT had increased 10 inches and the tank was sampled in accordance with existing procedures. That sample was found to have a boron concentration of 2394 PPM. The tank was then borated to 2465 PPM. At no other time since valve seat replacement has the level in the tanks changed enough that samples were required to be taken.

Boron concentration has not been adjusted in the tanks at any other time.

3(d) The data in the Table on page 2 shows the boron concentration in each tank after a six month period. No changes in boron concentration were made by the operators during that six month period.

If information from the monthly samples had not been available, the results at the end of the six month period would have been the same.

Makeup to the SITs is done to control level in the tanks, not as a means of controlling boron concentration. Water is added to the SITs from the refueling water storage tank, whose boron concentration is controlled by Technical Specifications. Also, prior to any water addition to the SITs, the boron concentration of the water being added is determined. This ensures that water being added for level control is always adequately borated. With the exception of the instance noted in answer 3(c), it has not been necessary to adjust the boron concentration in any SIT since valve seat replacement.

Although actual experience indicates that with a six-month surveillance interval none of the samples would fall below 2300 PPM, the conservative calculation used in the risk analysis indicates that 2%

of the 352 samples would fall below 2300 PPM. It is important to stress the conservative nature of the risk calculation. No credit is taken for the operators' ability to monitor SIT level changes and take appropriate action. The most likely cause of boron concentration changes in the SIT is due to RCS in-leakage. As the SIT levels are monitored by operations, the actual likelihood of the SIT concentration falling below 2300 PPM is far lower than the number used in the risk assessment.
