Enclosure REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING REVISION OF TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION ASSOCIATED WITH EMERGENCY DIESEL GENERATOR FUEL OIL STORAGE TANK RECOATING NORTH ANNA POWER STATION, UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-338 AND 50-339 By application dated December 17, 2007 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession Number ML073520247), Virginia Electric and Power Company (the licensee) proposed a license amendment to change North Anna Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2, Technical Specifications (TSs). The proposed change will permit a one-time extended 14-day completion time for each of the two underground diesel fuel oil storage tanks recoating.
To complete our review of the proposed TS changes, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff requests the licensees response to the following:
- 1. The licensees submittal identified that significant findings and observations (F&Os) from the 2001 peer review have either been resolved or found to have no impact on the proposed TS change. The licensee is requested to identify and provide its disposition of the unresolved significant F&Os with regard to this specific application.
- 2. The licensee is requested to confirm that there are no outstanding (i.e., not incorporated into the baseline probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) model) plant modifications, procedure changes, or other outstanding deficiencies for the current PRA model such that it reasonably reflects the as-built as-operated plant. Further, since this temporary change is not date-limited, provide a commitment to review the PRA results prior to implementation of the TS change to reconfirm this item.
- 3. The licensees submittal did not discuss model truncation applicable to its analysis. The licensee is requested to identify and justify the truncation level used for this application.
- 4. Section 5 of Attachment 2 of the licensees submittal dated December 17, 2007, identifies sensitivity calculations performed which purportedly support the risk analysis conclusions, however, the specifics of these calculations are not discussed. The licensee is requested to identify and discuss the results of the sensitivity calculations performed.
