SUBJECT:

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR THE REVIEW OF THE BEAVER VALLEY POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION (TAC NOS. MD6593 AND MD6594)

Dear Mr. Sena:

By letter dated August 27, 2007, FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company submitted an application pursuant to 10 CFR Part 54, to renew the operating licenses for Beaver Valley Power Station, Units 1 and 2, for review by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the staff). The staff is reviewing the information contained in the license renewal application and has identified, in the enclosure, areas where additional information is needed to complete the review. Further requests for additional information may be issued in the future.

Items in the enclosure were discussed with Mr. Cliff Custer of your staff, and a mutually agreeable date for the response is within 30 days from the date of this letter. If you have any questions, please contact me at 301-415-2989 or by e-mail at klh1@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,

/RA/

ML080590262 OFFICE LA:DLR PM:RPB2:DLR BC:RPB2:DLR NAME SFigueroa KHoward RFranovich DATE 02/29/08 02/29/08 03/03/08 BEAVER VALLEY POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION REQUESTS FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, SECTIONS 2.3.3.2, 2.3.3.8 Section 2.2 RAI 2.3.3.2-01 LR Drawing 1-44B-1: At drawing coordinates C-6, valves VS-D-4-11B and VS-D-4-11A are shown receiving a containment isolation signal, phase B (CIB). This seems to indicate that these valves are used as an isolation barrier following a CIB signal.

LR Drawing 1-44B-1 indicates these valves are in scope for fire protection only. Please explain why these valves and associated duct between the valves and from the valves to the penetration are not in scope as a pressure boundary or leakage barrier.

RAI 2.3.3.2-02 LR Drawing 2-44B-3: At drawing coordinates C-3, shows a direct expansion cooling unit 2HVP-ACUS301. There are two pipe connections shown for this unit, a capped line and a 3/4-inch hose connection. Is there a condensate drain for the cooling unit? If so, is the condensate drain in scope for 10 CFR 54.4(a) (2) for leakage?

Section 2.3.3.8 RAI 2.3.3.8-01

a. LR Drawing 2-47-1: At drawing coordinates C-8/9 the lines from panel 2PHS-EALI associated with the connections labeled CNMT. BLKD. SHAFT A SEAL TEST CONN.

and CNMT. BLKD. SHAFT B SEAL TEST CONN. are not highlighted as being in scope while the lines from the connections labeled CTMT. BLKD. DOOR SEAL TEST CONN. and ATMOS. BLKD. SHAFT A SEAL TEST CONN. are highlighted as being in scope. Both sets of lines appear to enter the hatch airlock volume. Explain why the scoping difference.

b. Also, the test panel connection labels ATMOS. BLKD. SHAFT A SEAL TEST CONN, ATMOS. BLKD. DOOR SEAL TEST CONN. and ATMOS. BLKD. SHAFT B SEAL TEST CONN do not appear to match up with the lines whose test connections they are closest to. Please clarify this labeling arrangement.
