DRAFT RAI questions from the CSGB branch on the AST amendment

Jim, By letters dated December 8, 2008, January 16 and 27, 2009, and February 20, 2009, FPL Energy submitted a license amendment application for Point Beach Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2 to revise the current licensing basis to implement the alternate source term through reanalysis of the radiological consequences of the FSAR Chapter 14 accidents.

The Steam Generator Tube Integrity and Chemical Engineering Branch has reviewed the information provided and determined that in order to complete its evaluation of the alternate source term pH calculations, additional information is required. We would like to discuss the questions, in draft form below, with you in a conference call.

This e-mail aims solely to prepare you and others for the proposed conference call. It does not convey a formal NRC staff position, and it does not formally request for additional information.

Justin C. Poole Project Manager NRR/DORL/LPL3-1 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (301)415-2048 email: Justin.Poole@nrc.gov

DRAFT

1. Please provide the minimum and maximum times required for the completion of the NaOH addition from the spray additive tank. Also please clarify if the long term analysis of the pH on page 7/7 of the letter dated January 16, 2009, bounds the 30 day post-LOCA pH value.
2. Please explain the discrepancy in the parameter values on page 3/7 and page 6/7 from letter dated January 16, 2009. For example, the volume of the water in the sump, the boron concentration, and the NaOH concentration have different values in the two tables.
