Plant Licensing Branch I-2 Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
SUBJECT:
SALEM NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2, DRAFT REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (TAC NOS. MD4843 AND MD4844)
The attached draft request for information (RAI) was transmitted on August 2, 2007, to Mr. Jamie Mallon of PSEG Nuclear LLC (the licensee). This information was transmitted to facilitate an upcoming conference call in order to clarify the licensees amendment request for Salem Nuclear Generating Station (Salem), Unit Nos. 1 and 2, dated March 16, 2007. The proposed amendment would add new Technical Specification (TS) requirements for the response times associated with a steam generator feedwater pump (SGFP) trip and feedwater isolation valve (FIV) closure. The amendment would also revise the TS requirements for the containment fan cooler unit (CFCU) cooling water flow rate. These changes are associated with a revised containment response analysis that credits a SGFP trip and FIV closure (on a feedwater regulator valve failure) to reduce the mass/energy release to the containment during a main steam line break (MSLB). The containment analysis also credits a reduced heat removal capability for the CFCUs, allowing a reduction in the required service water (SW) flow to the CFCUs.
This memorandum and the attachment do not convey or represent an NRC staff position regarding the licensee's request.

DRAFT REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING PROPOSED LICENSE AMENDMENT STEAM GENERATOR FEEDWATER PUMP TRIP, FEEDWATER ISOLATION VALVE CLOSURE RESPONSE TIMES, AND CONTAINMENT FAN COIL UNIT COOLING WATER FLOW RATE SALEM NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-272 AND 50-311 By letter dated March 16, 2007, PSEG Nuclear LLC (PSEG or the licensee) submitted an amendment request for Salem Nuclear Generating Station (Salem), Unit Nos. 1 and 2. The proposed amendment would add new Technical Specification (TS) requirements for the response times associated with a steam generator feedwater pump (SGFP) trip and feedwater isolation valve (FIV) closure. The amendment would also revise the TS requirements for the containment fan cooler unit (CFCU) cooling water flow rate.

The containment analysis also credits a reduced heat removal capability for the CFCUs, allowing a reduction in the required service water (SW) flow to the CFCUs.
The NRC staff has reviewed the information the licensee provided that supports the proposed amendment and would like to discuss the following issues to clarify the submittal.
SRXB-1: Page 8 of Attachment 1 to the application dated March 16, 2007, indicates that WCAP-16503 addressed the impact of the requested changes on UFSAR Chapter 15 Events and Other ECCS/Heat Removal Systems. Inspection of WCAP-16503 indicates that only the containment aspects of the proposed changes are examined. Please summarize the analyses you performed to assure that the proposed changes do not impact the core cooling aspects of the Chapter 15 transients.
EEEB-1: Page 4 of Attachment 1 to the application states that the duration of the analyses for the new LOCA cases were extended to approximately 120 days to support the environmental qualification (EQ) bases for the critical components. Please confirm that all EQ equipment are qualified for the new LOCA cases for 120 days.
EEEB-2: Section 6.5 of Engineering Evaluation S-C-CBV-MEE-1982 (Enclosure 2 to the application) indicates that Salem Unit 2 bounding profiles are used to qualify safety related equipment in containment. Please confirm that the Unit 1 profiles are bounded by the Unit 2 bounding temperature and pressure profiles.
Attachment
EEEB-3: Section 6.5 of Enclosure 2 of the application states that the EQPro profile has been used to evaluate the EQ equipment for an unrelated EQ Program update.
Please clarify what this statement means.
EEEB-4: Please clarify whether "EQPro" input curves are used as bounding profiles for EQ.
EEEB-5: Section 6.5 of Enclosure 2 of the application states that The EQ analyses of critical equipment are based on composite curves that envelope the estimated temperature, pressure and radiation environments during a design basis event.
These composite curves are defined in the Salem Environmental Design Criteria EDC (Reference 15). Please confirm that these composite curves are bounded by EQPro input curves. If not, then explain the impact of these composite curves on the EQ program.
EEEB-6: Section 6.5 of Enclosure 2 of the application states that the containment temperatures exceed the current analysis of record (AOR). Please provide detailed explanation on how the EQ equipment are qualified where the AOR is exceeded.
EEEB-7: Please confirm that the radiation dose for the proposed changes remain unchanged. If not, then provide its impact on the EQ Program.
EEEB-8: If EQ equipment are requalified or replaced due to the proposed changes, please provide the details on requalification or replacement of the EQ equipment and confirm that the EQ and maintenance programs reflect these changes.
EEEB-9: The application states that the EQ analysis is performed for critical equipment.
Please define/clarify this term.
SCVB-1: It was stated in several places of the license change request that the AOR for the single failure scenario of the faulted loop feedwater regulating valve (FRV) failing open is overly conservative as it assumed full feedwater (FW) flow to the faulted steam generator (SG) for 32 seconds, until the FIV is fully shut. The revised modeling with WCAP-16503 credits reduced flow when the SGFP is tripped. It further reduces the flow as FIV closure increasingly throttles the flow from the condensate pumps. In addition, the revised modeling assumes that during the SGFP coast-down, FW flow will decrease linearly to the flowrate provided by the condensate pumps through freewheeling SGFPs. The revised modeling has broken down the 32 second closing time of the FIV and the 14 second time for the SGFP to come to a stop from freewheeling as follows:
FIV: Two-second electronic time delay before initiation of the valve closure, 20-seconds of valve closure that have no impact on the FW flowrate, and a linear flowrate reduction during the final 10-seconds of the valve stroke.
SGFP: Seven seconds for tripping of the SGFPs (instrument and mechanical delays), and seven seconds for coast down.
The NRC staff requests the following clarifications:
a) How does the FW flow to the faulted SG differ between the AOR and the revised model?
b) Provide, in quantitative terms, flow considered in the AOR for the entire 32 seconds FIV closure and a breakdown of flow in the revised model during the seven seconds of the SGFP trip, seven seconds of SGFP coast down, the time remaining (eight seconds) prior to the linear flowrate reduction, and the final 10 seconds of the FIV stroke during which flowrate is reduced linearly.
SCVB-2: The proposed amendment includes: (1) new TS requirements for the response times associated with a SGFP trip and FIV closure; and (2) revised TS requirements for the CFCU cooling water flow rate. However, new TS requirements for SGFP coastdown time was not included in the proposed amendment. Justification for non-inclusion of the pump coast down in the TS was provided in Section 5.4 of Engineering Evaluation S-C-CBV-MEE-1982 (Enclosure 2 to the application). It is stated in the evaluation that a survey of other plants that have credited FW pump coastdown in their MSLB containment response analysis has identified a range of values between five and ten seconds and that none of the plants have included the coastdown values in their TSs.
Additional pump coastdown information from two plants, Indian Point and Diablo Canyon, was provided in the Engineering Evaluation, including a comparison of turbine/pump sets between Diablo Canyon and Salem.
The NRC staff requests responses to the following questions:
a) What is the context in which the pump coastdown information was used in the analysis pertaining to other plants?
b) Was it used for a similar purpose as for Salem (i.e., to perform a refined analysis in order to justify a significant reduction in cooling water flow to the CFCUs)?
c) What is the sensitivity of the Salem analysis if the SGFP takes longer than 7 seconds to coastdown?
SCVB-3 Section 5.5 of Engineering Evaluation S-C-CBV-MEE-1982 provides a discussion of the flow characteristics during FIV closure. This section recognizes that FW flow to the faulted SG may be higher than what was considered in the WCAP analysis, however, it provides a discussion as to why the results of the analysis will not be significantly affected. The NRC staff has the following observations and is requesting additional clarifications:
a) The 1st and 2nd paragraphs seems to be contradicting. In reference to the WCAP analysis, the 1st paragraph (page 12 of 54) states that ...instead of decreasing the flow over the full 30 second design basis stroke of the valve, the FIV is only credited to close with a linear flow ramp over the last 10
seconds of the 30-second stroke time. The WCAP analysis assumes a full open valve resistance coefficient for the first 20 seconds of the stroke, even though the valve will have completed about 66% of its closing stroke (i.e.,
valve will only be approximately 33% open when the model begins the linear decrease in flow). However, in the 2nd paragraph (page 13 of 54) it states that [i]n general, gate valves do not significantly affect system flow until they are less than 50% open. Pages 44 thru 50 of the original BF13 MOV Calc S-1-CN-MDC-0881 Sheet 001 (Reference 13) evaluates the effect of BF13 closure on feedwater flow and concludes that the linear flow decrease assumption during the final 5% of the stroke is not valid for the BF-13 operating conditions during a MSLB event. In particular, pages 49 and 50 of MDC-0881 (Reference 13) identify high flow through BF13 (>5000 gpm) even down to 5% open because of the choked flow effects - i.e., it specifically states the valve Cv does not change in a linear manner. Clarify the intent of the above statements and how they can be construed as supporting the intent.
b) Figure 5.5-1 of Engineering Evaluation S-C-CBV-MEE-1982 shows a plot of the FW mass flow rate as a function of the FIV stroke time. In a discussion related to FW flow in this figure (page 13 of 54), it was stated that Note:
Case 8 represented feedwater flow with 0 psia SG pressure and MFW pumps off (Condensate pumps only). The NRC staff requests confirmation that the actual flow used in the WCAP analysis is higher in the first seven seconds due to the fact that the SGFP would not have tripped until that time, as well as the next seven seconds when the SGFP is coasting down.
c) In the 1st paragraph of page 14 of 54 of Engineering Evaluation S-C-CBV-MEE-1982, it states that [t]he as-tested BF-13 stroke time of 26 seconds (Reference 13) provides additional rationale for concluding that the actual feedwater mass injected into a faulted steam generator will be less than the assumed value from WCAP-16503. Since: (1) the proposed TS includes a 32 second response time (consisting of 2 seconds of electronic delay and 30 seconds of stroke time); (2) the associated surveillance procedure will only verify the 30 second stroke time; and (3) the 26 second stroke time is based on a test performed in 1995; the NRC staff has concerns regarding the impact on the licensees analyses, if the actual stroke time is greater than 26 seconds. Please clarify.
d) In the 1st paragraph of page 14 of 54 of Engineering Evaluation S-C-CBV-MEE-1982, it states that [c]onsidering the conservatism in flow assumed during the first 20 seconds of the valve stroke, assuming a linear flow reduction in the total system flow over the final 10 seconds of BF-13 valve stroke time is considered to be a reasonable assumption. What is the conservatism in the first 20 seconds, considering that gate valves do not significantly affect system flow until they are less than 50 percent open?
SCVB-4: In Section 6.1 of Engineering Evaluation S-C-CBV-MEE-1982 (page 18 of 54), it states that the revised peak containment temperature is 349.6 EF vs 348.2 EF (difference of +1.4 EF). The NRC staff requests clarification of the discrepancy between the referenced numbers and those given in Table 6.1-1 of the Engineering Evaluation.
SCVB-5: Engineering Evaluation S-C-CBV-MEE-1982 Section 7.2 (page 40 of 54) acknowledges that increasing the normal SW flowrate to the CFCUs from 700 gallons per minute (gpm) to 1300 gpm also has the additional advantage of improving containment cooling for operations during the summer months. Has any analysis been conducted to quantify the improved cooling in terms of normal containment temperatures? If so, what are the results?
SCVB-6: In Attachment 2, Technical Specification Pages with Proposed Changes, there are some inconsistencies in how the notes are called out in Table 3.3-5. In some cases the note number is in parentheses, in some cases the note number is in parentheses in supercript and in some cases the table says Note x. The licensee may want to consider making these consistent.
SCVB-7: In Attachment 3, Proposed Changes to TS Bases Pages, on page B 3/4 3-1a (for both Unit 1 and Unit 2), it states that SGFP trip and FIV failure are credited in the containment analysis for LOCA and MSLB in case an FRV fails open. It is suggested that FIV failure be changed to FIV closure or to FIV isolation.
