Paul CrawleySTARS Gary WarnerSTARS Rich SchallerSTARS REQUESTS FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONWOLF CREEK GENERATING STATION, UNIT 1LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATIONJUNE 13, 2007The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the staff) and representatives of Wolf CreekNuclear Operating Corporation held a telephone conference call on June 13, 2007, as a follow-up discussion and request for clarification to the applicant's response to the following request for additional information (RAI) concerning the Wolf Creek Generating Station (WCGS),
Unit 1, license renewal application (LRA). The applicant's response to this RAI was submittedby letter dated May 9, 2007. RAI 2.5-1LRA Section 2.5 does not explicitly describe the offsite recovery paths (from the switchyard tothe onsite distribution system) for a station blackout (SBO). The General Design Criterion 17 described in Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations Part 50 (10 CFR Part 50), Appendix A, requires that electric power from the transmission network to the onsite electric distribution system be supplied by two physically independent circuits to minimizethe likelihood of their simultaneous failure. In addition, the guidance provided by letter dated April 1, 2002, "Staff Guidance on Scoping ofEquipment Relied on to Meet the Requirements of the Station Blackout Rule (10 CFR 50.63) for License Renewal (10 CFR 54.4(a)(3))," states: For purposes of the license renewal rule, the staff has determined that the plant systemportion of the offsite power system that is used to connect the plant to the offsite power source should be included within the scope of the rule. This path typically includes switchyard circuit breakers that connect to the offsite system power transformers (startup transformers), the transformers themselves, the intervening overhead or underground circuits between circuit breaker and transformer and transformer and onsite electrical system, and the associated control circuits and structures. Ensuring that the appropriate offsite power system long-lived passive structures and components that are part of this circuit path are subject to an aging management review will assure that the bases underlying the SBO requirements are maintained over the period of extended license. According to the above, both paths that are used to control the offsite circuits to the plantshould be age managed. According to LRA drawing LR-WCGS-ELEC-KD-7496, the high voltage switchyard circuit breakers, underground cables, and its associated components and structures are not presently included within the scope of license renewal. The staff requests that the applicant justify why these components are not within the scope of license renewal. In addition the staff requests that the applicant explain in detail which high voltage breakers and other components in the switchyard will be connected from the startup transformer XMR01 and ESF No. 1 transformer XNB01 up to the offsite power system for the purpose of SBO recovery. Discussion: Based on the discussion with the applicant, the staff indicated that the responseto this RAI requires clarification. The staff reiterated its position regarding the scoping ofequipment relied on to meet the requirements of SBO established by letter dated April 1, 2002.
The staff noted that for SBO recovery, the path should include the first breaker from the offsite lines in the switchyard to the startup transformers up to the safety-related 4.16kV buses. The staff clarified that the guidance does not specify that the switchyard is not part of the plant systems, nor does it specify that the switchyard does not need to be included within the scope of license renewal. Thus, the staff noted that the first switchyard circuit breaker (from the grid, i.e., offsite transmission line), startup transformer, intervening overhead or underground circuits between the breaker and transformer as well as between the transformers and onsite electrical distribution system, and associated control circuits and structures for the two SBO recovery paths should be included within the scope of license renewal. The staff indicated that for each SBO recovery path, the scope of license renewal should cover up to and including the first circuit breaker from any one of the three offsite transmission lines (i.e., grid). RAI 2.5-3There has been operating experience regarding the failure of cable tie-wraps caused by thebrittleness of the plastic material. The cable tie-wraps are long-lived passive components. Its intended functions include to maintain spacing for power cable ampacity, maintain stiffness in unsupported lengths of wire bundles to ensure minimum bending radius, and maintain cables within vertical raceways, among others. Most recently, at Point Beach, the regional inspectors identified an unresolved item after noticing that the current configuration of the plant may not be consistent with plant design documents due to the age related breakage of a large number of plastic tie-wraps used to fasten wires and cables. At Point Beach, cable tie-wraps are part of the cable design in order to maintain cable ampacity or are credited in the licensee's Seismic Qualifications Utility Group to seismically qualify the cable tray system. The staff requests that the applicant explain how WCGS manages the aging of cable tie-wraps. In addition, the staff requests that the applicant justify why the cable tie-wraps are not included within the scope of license renewal in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 54.4. Discussion: Based on the discussion with the applicant, the staff indicated that the responseto this RAI requires clarification. The staff understands that the cable tie wraps are not creditedin the WCGS seismic qualification of the cable tray support system. However, the staff noted that there is operating experience showing instances in which degraded cable tie-wraps has failed and lodged in components preventing the performance of their intended functions. The staff requested that the applicant clarify if WCGS considered the potential effect on safety-related equipment caused by the failure of plastic cable tie-wraps due to age-related degradation.
