SUMMARY
OF SEPTEMBER 1, 2009, CONFERENCE CALL WITH DUKE REGARDING RESPONSES TO GENERIC LEDER (GL) 2004-02 (TAC NOS.
MC4674, MC4675, MC4692 AND MC4693)
On September 1, 2009, a Category 1 public meeting was held between the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and representatives of Duke at NRC Headquarters, One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss Duke's most recent responses Requests for Additional Information (RAls) to GL 2004-02 for Catawba and McGuire. A list of attendees is provided in the Enclosure. The licensee's handouts are available in the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) at Accession No. ML092730460.
The licensee described the latest response to GL 2004-02 for McGuire (ADAMS Accession No. ML092160597) in response to RAls sent by letter dated November 18, 2008 (ADAMS Accession No. ML083080350) and the latest response to GL 2004-02 for Catawba (ADAMS Accession No. ML092110120) in response to RAls sent by letter dated November 21, 2008 (ADAMS Accession No. ML083080373). The NRC staff discussed each RAI question with Duke.
The NRC staff and the licensee discussed the licensee's planned actions to address each RAI for Catawba sent by letter dated November 21, 2008 (ADAMS Accession No. ML083080373),
and each RAI for McGuire sent by letter dated November 18, 2008 (ADAMS Accession No. ML083080350). At the conclusion of the meeting, the NRC staff and the licensee agreed that the status of the RAls is as follows:
McGuire RAls 1, 2, 5, and 6; Catawba RAls 2, 3, and 5: These issues (zone of influence reductions) are being addressed generically by the Pressurized-Water Reactor Owners Group (PWROG). However, the licensee stated that it plans to retest strainer performance for Catawba without reference to the PWROG work and will do so for McGuire, as well, based on a future plant condition after planned removal of certain insulation from the containment. These issues will be discussed after the outlook for generic resolution is clearer and the tests are complete. The NRC staff noted that the choice not to reference the PWROG work, but rather to rely on more conservative, NRC staff-approved guidance, is a clear success path to resolution of remaining issues regarding the licensee's debris generation evaluation practices.
McGuire RAI 11, Catawba RAI 9: These issues are being addressed generically (erosion testing). The NRC staff noted that the licensee could consider several possible options for resolving this issue, including proposing a higher erosion percentage or demonstrating that strainer performance is not sensitive to the erosion percentage assumed.
Duke
- 2 McGuire RAI 31, Catawba RAI 29: These issues are being addressed generically by the PWROG (in-vessel downstream effects). The licensee stated that their evaluations show their plants to be bounded by the draft WCAP-16793, even if a substantially lower acceptance criterion is ultimately determined to be appropriate.
McGuire RAls 15-17 and 21, Catawba RAls 14-16 and 19: Licensee agreed to provide videos and photos the week of September 7; NRC staff will provide feedback to the licensee on them after review.
McGuire RAI 32, Catawba RAI 30: Licensee agreed to provide integrated head loss testing protocol for future planned testing to NRC staff for review and feedback. Date to be determined, but likely October 2009.
Regarding the other RAI responses, the NRC staff stated that the licensee's path forward appeared to be adequate (in some cases, limited additional information was needed beyond that provided in the draft responses provided to the NRC staff).
Members of the public were not in attendance. Public Meeting Feedback forms were not received.
