Fermi 2 LAR - Degraded Voltage Function - ME1477 By letter dated June 10, 2009 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML091680379), Detroit Edition (the licensee) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) for Fermi 2 nuclear plant to revise the Degraded Voltage Function in the Technical Specification (TS) Table 3.3.8.1-1. Specifically, the proposed amendment is to add a new time delay logic associated with the degraded voltage function concurrent with a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA).

The NRC staff has reviewed the information provided by the licensee. Please arrange a teleconference to discuss the following request for additional information with the NRC staff.

1. Provide summary and conclusions of the latest plant calculations/analysis, which justifies the voltage and time delay settings associated with the degraded voltage function. Provide basis of minimum switchyard voltage assumed in the calculations for the degraded voltage setpoints.
2. Describe and provide applicable logic diagrams to show how the degraded voltage function interfaces with emergency diesel generator (EDG) system, loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) signal, and load sequencer.
3. The LAR states the amendment is for a degraded voltage concurrent [emphasis added]

with a LOCA.

a. With the minimum switchyard voltage conditions during LOCA and with the new time delay logic of degraded voltage function, confirm all safety-related loads will successfully sequence to meet the requirement of accident mitigation without tripping the degraded voltage relays.
b. If the degraded voltage relay trip occurs within 7.6 seconds to 8.4 seconds (proposed time delay settings) of the LOCA signal, explain how running loads will safely transfer to the EDG.
