RAI for Extension of Completion Time for Inoperable BOP ESFAS (TAC No.

ME2822)

Scott/Tom:

The NRC staff has completed its initial review of the Union Electric Company's application for extending the Callaway Plant, Unit 1 Completion Time for technical specification 3.3.2 to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. This change would add a new required action (Q1) for the restoration of an inoperable BOP ESFAS train to operable status within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> In addition, the Completion Time for TS 3.3.2.2 required actions J.1 and O.1 would be extended to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

Based on our review of the application, the NRC staff has identified areas where additional information is needed to complete our review. The request for additional information is provided below. Please provide your responses by May 15, 2010, so that the NRC staff can complete the requested action in a timely Manner.

Mohan C Thadani Senior Project Manager Plant Licensing Branch IV Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (301) 415-1476 Mohan.Thadani@nrc.gov PROBABILISTIC RISK ASSESSMENT LICENSING BRANCH REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING CALLAWAY STATION REQUEST FOR INCREASE OF COMPLETION TIME FOR BOP ESFAS TO 24 HOURS (TAC No. ME 2822) 1-Internal events CDF The Callaway IPE reported a total CDF of 5.9 E-5 /yr. The internal flooding contribution was about 30% of this CDF value (~ 4.2 E-5 /yr) which is the base-line reported value for internal flooding CDF (section 4.1.1 Attachment 1 page 18). Please provide additional information regarding each of the revisions of the PRA since the IPE, including the plant and model changes, success criteria and supporting analysis changes, and associated baseline CDF and LERF.

2-Bayesian Analysis On page 17 Section 4.1.1 of Attachment 1, the BOP ESFAS train failure rate was estimated using Bayesian analysis, but no details or guidelines were provided. Please provide additional information regarding how the Bayesian analyses were performed and the data used in the analyses.

3-Operator Performance It was stated in Attachment 1 of the submittal, that continued operator training of the effect of completion time extension is planned. No details were provided about the nature of training or

supporting procedures. Please describe how the proposed amendment impacts the human error probabilities and how that was reflected in the model.

4-CCF The Sorensen Power Supplies and cards used in the BOP ESFAS appears to exist in other systems at the Callaway station. Please describe how inter-system CCF is address in the PRA for this potential condition and, if appropriate, please perform sensitivity analyses that address this potential inter-system CCF.

5-Internal Fire In the submittals section 4.1.2 of Attachment 1 it was stated that fire in the control room is dominated by human action including manual actuation. It was concluded in the evaluations that out of service BOP ESFAS does not impact the ability of the operator to manually actuate AFWS, and no change in risk was estimated. The Callaway IPEEE study actually identified the main control room as the most significant contributor to fire risk. Please discuss the credit given to the control room operator manual actions relevant to the baseline risk assessment.
