  • y hi; *Potential License Amendment Requests

- Compensatory Measures due to Load Drop i-

  • WBN evaluating whether a license amendment and compensatory measures for rigging and transport of steam generators are needed SQN License Amendment Requests Not Required for WBN

- SG Compartment Restoration

  • License amendment for a code change not required, since existing WBN design is more robust compared to SQN
  • Will use design similar to SQN I -

.i Items Of Note

1. Use of Bar-Lock Mechanical Couplers instead of Cadwelds for Rebar Splicing during Shield Building Restoration

- Propose not performing pre-use qualification testing P

  • Same application as NRC approved for SQN
  • Couplers purchased from same vendor and dedicated I same as SQN I

Ws

  • Material, process and QA program are same 1

t 0sT

  • Sister splice testing will verify adequacy of installed couplers p

ii / 3. NSSS Reactor Coolant Loop Reanalysis Replacement Steam Generator (increase in mass and change in stiffness) constitutes a modification to Reactor Coolant Loop K Xreanalysis. For New/Modification of items, UFSAR requires use of Seismic Spectra Set B+C rather than previous Spectra Set A evaluated to Spectra B.

- Couple Interior Containment Structure (ICS) with the Reactor Coolant Loop (RCL)

.* Original:

4-Loop RCLlsupports model (uncoupled)

.- Set A Amplified Response Spectra (ARS) input at highest loop support location t Reanalysis:

Loop RCUsupports coupled with ICS A - Set B+C ARS input at basemat elevation
