REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (RAI)
RAI 2.3.3.21-1 License renewal drawings 2-47E810-1-LR and 3-47E810-1-LR show thermal tees (location F6) to be within the scope of license renewal and subject to an AMR. Thermal tees are the passive and long-lived components, however thermal tee component type is not listed in LRA Table 2.3.3.21-1 as a component type subject to an AMR, nor is it included in a component type in Section 2.3.5, "Notes Associated with Section 2.3 Tables." Please justify the exclusion of these components from being subject to an AMR in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 54.21(a)(1).
RAI 2.3.3.21-2 License renewal drawings 2-47E810-1-LR and 3-47E810-1-LR show fusible plugs (location D2) to be within the scope of license renewal (in blue color for 54.4(a)(2) component in scope) and subject to an AMR. The "NOTE" of the drawing associated with fusible plugs states that fusible plug (FUPG) is a threaded pipe plug with a low temperature eutectic alloy which is attached to the RWCU pipe upstream of FCV-69-94. Eutectic material will melt on high temperature, venting the control air line, which closes isolation valve FCV-69-94. Also, another drawing note states that the system shall be qualified for an elevated temperature excursion up to 562E F during an Appendix R event from the non-generative heat exchanger outlet to FCV-69-94.
a.
The fusible plugs are neither listed in LRA Table 2.3.3.21 as a component type subject to an AMR, nor as a subcomponent of the component types listed in Section 2.3.5.
Please justify the exclusion of these components from being subject to an AMR in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 54.21(a)(1).
b.
Based on the drawing notes mentioned above, it appears that FCV-69-94 satisfy the criterion in 10 CFR 54.4(a)(3) for an environmental qualification and/or fire protection regulated event. However, the piping and components associated with this valve, including the above mentioned fusible plugs, are shown as being in scope in accordance with the criterion in 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2). Explain why valve FCV-69-94 functions differently from its associated pipeline.
RAI 2.3.3.21-3 Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant FSAR, Revision 20, Section 4.9 (page 4.9-2) states that:
Reactor coolant is continuously removed from the reactor coolant recirculation system, cooled in the regenerative and non-regenerative heat exchangers, filtered and demineralized, and returned to the feedwater system through the shell side of the regenerative heat exchanger. The Unit 3 RWCU system has the capability to return the processed fluid to the feedwater system through both reactor feedwater lines A and B.
However, Unit 2 RWCU system has only one return line through reactor feedwater line B.
License renewal drawing 3-47E810-1-LR shows (location E7) the reactor water cleanup system return line to the reactor feedwater line B only. Indicate whether feedwater line A is within the scope of license renewal and subject to an AMR, or provide an explanation for its exclusion. (Alternatively, provide a drawing that shows the reactor water cleanup system return to feedwater line A for Unit 3.)
RAI 2.3.3.21-4 License renewal drawing 1-47E810-1-LR shows flow indicators, FI 85-75 (location G3) and FI-85-77 (location G1), and flow element, FE-69-13 (location C5), as excluded from the scope of license renewal. These flow indicators and flow element serve a pressure boundary function and are passive and long-lived components. It is noted that similar flow indicators and flow elements on drawings 2-47E810-1-LR and 3-47E810-1-LR are shown as within the scope of license renewal and subject to an AMR. However, flow indicators are neither listed in LRA Table 2.3.3.21 as a component type subject to an AMR, nor as a subcomponent of the component types listed in Section 2.3.5.
a.
Justify the exclusion of the aforementioned flow indicators and flow element in Unit 1 from the scope of license renewal and being subject to an AMR in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 54.4(a) and 10 CFR 54.21(a)(1), respectively.
b.
Clarify whether flow indicators are included in other component types listed in LRA Table 2.3.3.21, or justify the exclusion of them from being subject to an AMR in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 54.21(a)(1).
RAI 2.3.3.21-5 License renewal drawing 3-47E810-1-LR shows a 4-inch pipeline to waste collector and surge tank inside the pipe tunnel to radwaste (location B4) as excluded from the scope of license renewal. However, the same pipeline on the license renewal drawing 1-47E810-1-LR (location B6) is shown as being in scope of license renewal in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2). Clarify this apparent discrepancy.
