1.0 INTRODUCTION
AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT
1.1 INTRODUCTION
1.1.1 Introduction This Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) is submitted in support of the application of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) for Class 103 facility operating licenses for a two-unit nuclear power plant located approximately 50 miles northeast of Chattanooga at the Watts Bar site in Rhea County, Tennessee. Unit 1 received the low power operating license (NPF-20) on November 9, 1995, and the full power operating license (NPF-90) on February 7, 1996. TVA declared commercial operation on May 25, 1996.
This FSAR reflects the Unit 2 plant. Unit 2 recieved a construction permit on January 1, 1973, and was placed in deferred status by letter to the NRC dated July 14, 2000.
By letter dated August 3, 2007, TVA notified the NRC of its plans to resume unrestricted construction activities, under the existing construction permit and its plans to request an operating license prior to April 1, 2012. TVA expects to place Unit 2 in commercial operation by October 1, 2012.
This facility has been designated the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant. The plant is designed, built, and will be operated by TVA. The Unit employs a four-loop Pressurized Water Reactor Nuclear Steam Supply System (NSSS) furnished by Westinghouse Electric Corporation. The Unit is similar to Unit 1 and those of the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant and other similar Westinghouse plants licensed by the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
The Unit 2 reactor core is rated at 3,411 MWt and, at this core power, the NSSS will operate at 3,425 MWt. The additional 14 MWt is due to the contribution of heat to the primary coolant system from nonreactor sources, primarily reactor coolant pump heat.
The reactor core has an Engineered Safeguards design rating of 3,582 MWt, and each NSSS has a design rating of 3,596 MWt. The net electrical output is 1,160 MWe, and the gross electrical output is 1,218 MWe for the rated core power. Plant safety systems, including containment and engineered safety features, are designed and evaluated at the higher power level. The higher power rating is used in the analysis of postulated accidents which have as a consequence the release of fission product activity to the environment.
The containment for the reactor consists of a free standing steel vessel with an ice condenser and separate reinforced concrete Shield Building. The free standing steel vessel and the concrete Shield Building were designed by TVA, and the ice condenser was designed and furnished by the Westinghouse Electric Corporation.
1.1.2 Licensing Basis Documents The following documents are typical documents submitted periodically to NRC following receipt of operating license. Implementation of changes to these documents without NRC approval may be controlled by regulation or the plant operating license.

1.1-2 INTRODUCTION
WATTS BAR WBNP-97 Plant procedures require air quality sampling at remote locations in each of the three ACAS and SCSAS air headers at each unit on a six-month basis (NCO890050031).
Preventive maintenance procedures address prefilters, afterfilters, desiccant, valves, and diaphragms (NCO890050034).
Procedures require internal inspection of components suspected of contamination following indication of SCSAS or ACAS contamination due to the presence of water, particulates, or oil in system headers (NCO890050035).
The procedures, instructions, and physical plant drawings provide actions with respect to loss of air incident, incident recovery, plant response, manual actions, and unexpected component positioning (NCO890050036).
Test procedures and design control ensure that 1) accumulator check valves properly reseat upon both a gradual and rapid loss of upstream pressure,
- 2) check valves are properly designed for air service, 3) low accumulator tank pressure is properly annunciated, and 4) accumulator tank design is properly documented by calculations (NCO890050037).

WATTS BAR WBNP-97 1.2 GENERAL PLANT DESCRIPTION 1.2.1 Site Characteristics 1.2.1.1 Location The plant site, consisting of approximately 1,770 acres, is located in southeastern Tennessee on the west shore of Chickamauga Lake approximately 50 miles northeast of Chattanooga and 31 miles northeast of the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant site.
1.2.1.2 Demography The population density of the area surrounding the site is relatively low with only two cities within 60 miles of the plant having populations exceeding 100,000 people. The minimum exclusion and low population distances are 1,200 meters and 3 miles, respectively.
1.2.1.3 Meteorology No known long-term meteorological measurements other than rainfall have been recorded in the immediate vicinity of the Watts Bar site. Therefore, the climatological appraisal of the site has been developed from meteorological data collected at stations within 50 miles. Based on the onsite data, categories of atmospheric stability conditions, by Pasquill classification, have been developed and atmospheric diffusion characteristics have been predicted for the site for use in accident analyses presented in Chapter 15 of this report. A permanent onsite meteorological facility has been in operation since May 1973 to meet the Nuclear Regulatory Commission requirements for the existence and operational use of such a facility at any nuclear plant site. There are no limiting meteorological factors. The details of the site area meteorology are discussed in Section 2.3. Despite the low probability of tornado occurrence at the site, the design of plant Seismic Category I structures includes consideration of the effects of a tornado having winds of 300 mph rotational velocity plus 60 mph translational velocity and a 3 psi pressure differential in 3 seconds.
1.2.1.4 Hydrology Plant grade is Elevation 728 and the plant is designed for safe shutdown for floods exceeding plant grade level. The probable maximum flood could reach Elevation 738.8. Capability to maintain the plant in the safe shutdown condition is provided for the design basis flood elevations given in Section 2.4.14.1.1. The probability of this combination in any given year is near zero and its recurrence interval is near infinity.
Because of the contours of the land and strata there is little likelihood of abnormal releases of liquid wastes at the plant contaminating industrial or drinking water supplies derived from ground water sources.
1.2.1.5 Geology The Watts Bar Nuclear Plant (WBN) is located in the Valley and Ridge Province of the Appalachian Highlands. This province is made up of a series of folded and faulted GENERAL PLANT DESCRIPTION 1.2-1
WATTS BAR WBNP-92 mountains and valleys which are underlain by Paleozoic sedimentary formations totaling 40,000 feet in thickness. The plant site is situated in a bend of the Tennessee River that has been covered by alluvial terrace deposits. Beneath these deposits lies the Middle Cambrian Conasauga Formation, an interbedded shale and limestone unit upon which the Category I structures are founded.
The controlling feature of the geologic structure at the site is the Kingston thrust fault, which developed some 250 million years ago. The fault has been inactive for many millions of years, and recurrence of movement is not expected. The fault lies to the northwest of the site area and was not involved in the foundation for any of the major plant structures.
1.2.1.6 Seismology WBN was designed based on the largest historic earthquake to occur in the Southern Appalachian Tectonic Province - the 1897 Giles County, Virginia earthquake. This earthquake is estimated to have had a body wave magnitude (mb) of 5.8. The Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE) for the plant has been established as having a maximum horizontal acceleration of 0.18g and a simultaneous maximum vertical acceleration of 0.12g.
1.2.2 Facility Description 1.2.2.1 Design Criteria The design criteria for the WBN are discussed in Section 3.1.
1.2.2.2 Nuclear Steam Supply System (NSSS)
The NSSS consists of a reactor and four closed reactor coolant loops connected in parallel to the reactor vessel. Each loop contains a reactor coolant pump, a steam generator, loop piping, and instrumentation. The NSSS also contains an electrically heated pressurizer and certain auxiliary systems.
High pressure water circulates through the reactor core to remove the heat generated by the nuclear chain reaction. The heated water exits the reactor vessel and passes via the coolant loop piping to the steam generators. Here it gives its heat to the feedwater to generate steam for the turbine generator. The cycle is completed when the water is pumped back to the reactor vessel.
The inherent design of the pressurized water, closed-cycle reactor minimizes the quantities of fission products released to the atmosphere. Three barriers exist between the fission product accumulation and the environment. These are the fuel cladding, the reactor vessel and coolant loops, and the reactor containment. The consequences of a breach of the fuel cladding are greatly reduced by the ability of the uranium dioxide lattice to retain fission products. Escape of fission products through fuel cladding defects would be contained within the pressure vessel, loops, and auxiliary systems. Breach of these systems or equipment would release the fission products to the reactor containment where they would be retained. The reactor 1.2-2 GENERAL PLANT DESCRIPTION
WATTS BAR WBNP-97 containment is designed to adequately retain these fission products under the most severe accident conditions, as analyzed in Chapters 6 and 15.
The license application NSSS power level is 3,425 MWt which includes 14 MWt from the reactor coolant pumps. Operation at the core design rating of 3,411 MWt yields a steady state core average linear power of 5.45 kW/ft and a corresponding peak power of 13.1 kW/ft. Reactivity coefficients and other design parameters, which are supported by analysis and experience with other similar plants, provide the basis for concluding that this reactor can be operated safely at the power levels of the application rating. The initial core load has a negative moderator temperature coefficient of reactivity at operating temperature at all times throughout core life.
The reactor core, with its related control and protection system, is designed to function throughout its design lifetime without exceeding the acceptable fuel damage limits.
The core design, together with process and residual heat removal (RHR) systems, provides for this capability under expected conditions of normal operations with appropriate margins for uncertainties and anticipated transient situations, including, as examples, the effects of the loss of reactor coolant flow, turbine trips due to steam and power conversion system malfunctions, and loss of external electrical load.
Acceptable fuel damage limits can be found in Section 4.2.
The reactor core is a multi-region cycled core. The fuel rods are cold worked ZIRLOTM tubes containing slightly enriched uranium oxide fuel. The fuel assembly is a canless type with the basic assembly consisting of the guide thimbles mechanically fastened to the grids, top, and bottom nozzles. The fuel rods are held in the grids by spring clips.
The internals, consisting of the upper and lower core support structures, are designed to support, align, and guide the core components, direct the coolant flow and guide the in-core instrumentation. Dissolved boric acid is used as a reactivity control device to minimize the use of burnable absorbers.
Rod cluster control assemblies (RCCAs) and burnable absorber rods are inserted into the guide thimbles of the fuel assemblies. The absorber sections of the RCCAs are fabricated of silver-indium-cadmium alloy slugs sealed in stainless steel tubes. The absorber material in the burnable absorber rods is in the form of borosilicate glass sealed in stainless steel tubes. The control rod drive mechanisms for the RCCAs are of the magnetic jack type. The latches are controlled by three magnetic coils. They are so designed that upon a loss of power to the coils, the RCCA is released and falls into the core by gravity to shut down the reactor.
Pressure in the system is controlled by the pressurizer, where system pressure is maintained through the use of electrical heaters and water sprays. Steam can either be formed by the heaters, or condensed by the spray to minimize pressure variations due to contraction and expansion of the coolant. Instrumentation used in the reactor coolant system is described in Chapter 7. Spring-loaded steam safety valves and power-operated relief valves for overpressure protection are connected to the pressurizer and discharge to the pressurizer relief tank, where the discharged steam is condensed and cooled by mixing with water.
GENERAL PLANT DESCRIPTION 1.2-3
WATTS BAR WBNP-97 The reactor coolant pumps are Westinghouse vertical, single stage, mixed flow pumps of the shaft-seal type. The power supply system to the pumps is designed so that adequate coolant flow is maintained to cool the reactor core under credible circumstances.
The steam generators are Westinghouse vertical U-tube units which contain Inconel tubes. Integral moisture separation equipment reduces the moisture content of the steam to one-quarter of one percent or less.
The reactor coolant piping and the pressure-containing and heat transfer surfaces in contact with reactor water are stainless steel clad except the steam generator tubes and fuel tubes, which are Inconel and ZIRLO,TM respectively. Reactor core internals, including control rod drive shafts, are stainless steel.
Auxiliary system components are provided to charge the RCS and add makeup water, purify reactor coolant water, provide chemicals for corrosion inhibition and reactor control, cool system components, remove decay heat when the reactor is shutdown, and provide for emergency safety injection.
1.2.2.3 Control and Instrumentation Instrumentation and controls are provided to monitor and maintain essential reactor facility operating variables such as neutron flux, primary coolant pressure, temperature, and control rod positions within prescribed ranges.
The non-neutronic process and containment instrumentation measures temperatures, pressure, flows, and levels in the RCS, steam systems, containment, and auxiliary systems. The quantity and types of process instrumentation provided are adequate for safe and orderly operation of systems and processes over the full operating range of the plant.
Reactor protection is achieved by defining a region of reactor power and coolant conditions allowed by the principal tripping functions: the overpower T trip, the overtemperature T trip, and the nuclear overpower trip. The allowable operating region within these trip settings is designed to prevent any combination of power, temperatures, and pressure which would result in reducing Departure from Nucleate Boiling below the minimum Departure from Nucleate Boiling Ratio (DNBR) (Chapter 4, Table 4.1-1) . Additional tripping functions such as a high-pressurizer pressure trip, low-pressurizer pressure trip, high-pressurizer water-level trip, low reactor coolant flow trip, reactor coolant pump undervoltage and under frequency trips, steam generator low-low water-level trip, turbine trip, safety injection trip, nuclear source and intermediate range trips, neutron flux rate trips, and manual trip are provided to support the principal tripping functions for specific accident conditions and mechanical failures.
Independent and redundant channels are combined in logic circuits which improve tripping reliability and minimize trips from spurious causes. Protection interlocks, initiation signals to the Safety Injection System, containment isolation signals, and turbine runback signals further assist in plant protection during operation.
1.2-4 GENERAL PLANT DESCRIPTION
WATTS BAR WBNP-97 The control system enables the nuclear plant to accept a step-load increase of 10%
and a ramp increase of 5% per minute within the load range of 15% to 100% of nominal power. The control system is designed for a 50% load reduction with steam bypass without tripping the reactor.
1.2.2.4 Fuel Handling System The fuel handling system is divided into two areas; the reactor cavity, which is flooded for refueling; and the Auxiliary Building which is external to the reactor containment and is always accessible to plant personnel. The two areas are connected by a fuel transfer system which carries the fuel through an opening in the reactor containment.The fuel handling equipment is designed to handle the new and spent fuel from the time it enters the site.
New fuel assemblies are removed one at a time from the shipping cask and stored dry in fuel storage racks or placed directly into the spent fuel pool. New fuel is delivered to the reactor vessel by placing a fuel assembly into the new fuel elevator, lowering it into the transfer canal, taking it through the fuel transfer system and placing it in the core by the use of the refueling machine. Spent fuel is removed from the reactor vessel by the refueling machine and placed in the fuel transfer system. In the spent fuel pool, the fuel is removed from the transfer system and placed in the spent fuel storage racks.
Spent fuel is handled entirely underwater. Underwater transfer of spent fuel provides an effective, economic and transparent shield, as well as a reliable cooling medium for removal of decay heat.
1.2.2.5 Waste Processing System The Waste Processing System provides equipment necessary for controlled treatment, and preparation for retention or disposal of liquid, gaseous, and solid wastes produced as a result of reactor operation. The Liquid Waste System collects, processes, and recycles reactor grade water, removes or concentrates radioactive constituents and processes them until suitable for release or shipment offsite.
The gaseous waste processing system functions to remove fission product gases from the reactor coolant. The system also collects the gases generated from the boron recycle evaporator. The waste processing systems, including both liquid and gas, are designed to ensure that the quantities of radioactive releases from the total plant to the surrounding environment will not exceed the 10 CFR 20 limits and are as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA).
1.2.2.6 Steam and Power Conversion System The steam and power conversion system consists of a turbine-generator, main condenser, vacuum pumps, turbine seal system, turbine bypass system, hot well pumps, condensate booster pumps, main feed pumps, main feed pump turbines (MFPT), condenser feedwater heater, feedwater heaters, heater drain tank pumps, and condensate storage system. The system is designed to convert the heat produced in the reactor to electrical energy through conversion of a portion of the energy GENERAL PLANT DESCRIPTION 1.2-5
WATTS BAR WBNP-97 contained in the steam supplied from the steam generators, to condense the turbine exhaust steam into water, and to return the water to the steam generator as feedwater.
The turbine generator unit consists of a tandem arrangement of one double-flow high-pressure turbine and three double-flow low-pressure turbines driving a direct-coupled generator at 1800 RPM. The generator has a nameplate rating of 1,411,000 kVA at 0.9 PF with 75 psi hydrogen pressure. The unit employs a single pass surface condenser of a horizontal, triple pressure, single shell type. Return to the steam generator is through three stages of feedwater pumping and seven stages of feedwater heating. Safety relief valves and power operated relief valves, as well as a turbine bypass to the condenser are provided in the steam lines.
1.2.2.7 Plant Electrical System The plant electric power system consists of the main generators, the unit station service transformers, the common station service transformers, the diesel generators, the batteries, and the electric distribution system. Under normal operating conditions the main generators supply electrical power through isolated-phase buses to the main step-up transformers and through the unit station service transformers (located adjacent to the Turbine Building) to the nonsafety auxiliary power system. Offsite electrical power supplies Class 1E circuits through the 161-kV system via Common Station Service Transformers (CSST) C and D. The primaries of the unit station service transformers are connected to the isolated-phase bus at a point between the generator terminals and the low-voltage connection of the main transformers. During normal operation, station auxiliary power is taken from the main generator through the unit station service transformers and from the 161-kV system through the common station service transformers. The standby onsite power is supplied by four diesel generators.
The safety-related plant distribution system receives ac power from CSST C and D through the shutdown boards (which are powered from the offsite power system), or four 4400 kW diesel-generator standby (onsite) power sources, and distributes it to both safety-related and nonsafety-related loads in the plant. The two preferred circuits have access to the TVA transmission network which in turn has multiple interties with other transmission networks.
The safety-related loads for the plant are divided into two redundant load groups. Each redundant load group has access to each of the two preferred offsite sources. One load group with its two associated diesel generators can provide the safety functions.
The electrical systems are described in Sections 8.2 and 8.3.
The vital ac and dc control and instrument power system consists of five 125V batteries (fifth vital battery can be switched for any of the other four), six battery chargers (two spares), and twelve 120V ac inverters (four spares) with their respective safety-related loads. The 125V dc Distribution System is a safety-related system which receives power from independent battery chargers and 125V dc batteries and distributes it to safety-related loads. The 120V ac Distribution System receives power from eight independent inverters and distributes it to the safety-related loads of both units. These systems are described in Sections 8.2 and 8.3.
1.2-6 GENERAL PLANT DESCRIPTION
WATTS BAR WBNP-97 1.2.2.8 Cooling Water The condenser circulating water system (CCW) provides cooling water for the dissipation of waste heat for the power generation cycle while meeting applicable effluent limitations and water quality standards. The CCW includes the circulating water pumps, circulating water conduits, yard holding pond, main condensers, hyperbolic natural draft cooling towers, and the desilting basin and the supplemental condenser cooling water (SCCW) system. The SCCW system supplies water from the Watts Bar Reservoir to provide a source of cooler water to the existing Unit 2 cooling tower discharge flume.
The blowdown from the CCW is used to dilute and dispense low-level radioactive liquid wastes. The CCW pumping station is located in the yard between the Turbine Building and the cooling towers. There are eight circulating pumps. Four pumps for each unit operate in parallel and circulate water from the cooling tower cold water basin, through the condenser, and back into the heat exchanger section of the tower.
The essential raw cooling water system (ERCW) provides the essential auxiliary support functions to the engineered safety features (ESF) of the plant. The system is designed to provide a continuous flow of cooling water to those systems and components necessary to plant safety either during normal operation or under accident conditions. The ERCW system consists of eight ERCW pumps, four traveling screens, four traveling screen wash pumps, and four strainers located in the intake pumping station.
1.2.2.9 Component Cooling System The component cooling system (CCS) is the closed cooling system designed to remove residual and sensible heat from the RCS, via the RHR system; cool the spent fuel pool water and the letdown flow of the Chemical and Volume Control System (CVCS); provide cooling to dissipate waste heat from various plant components; and provide cooling for safeguard loads after an accident.
1.2.2.10 Chemical and Volume Control System The CVCS, discussed in Section 9.3.4, is designed to provide the following services to the RCS:
(1) Maintenance of programmed water level in the pressurizer, i.e., maintain required water inventory in the RCS.
(2) Maintenance of seal water flow to the reactor coolant pumps.
(3) Control of reactor coolant water chemistry conditions, activity level, soluble chemical neutron absorber concentration and makeup.
(4) Processing of excess reactor coolant to effect recovery and reuse of boric acid and primary makeup water. This operation is not performed by CVCS for Unit 1. Liquid waste will be processed through the waste disposal mobile demineralizer.
GENERAL PLANT DESCRIPTION 1.2-7
WATTS BAR WBNP-90 (5) Emergency core cooling (part of the system is shared with the Emergency core cooling system).
During power operation, a continuous feed-and-bleed stream is maintained to and from the RCS. Letdown water leaves the RCS and flows through the shell side of the regenerative heat exchangers where it gives up its heat to makeup water being returned to the RCS. The letdown water then flows through the orifices where its pressure is reduced, then through the letdown heat exchanger, followed by a second pressure reduction by a low-pressure letdown valve. After passing through a mixed bed demineralizer, where ionic impurities are removed, the water flows either through the cation demineralizers or directly through the reactor coolant filter, and into the volume control tank (VCT) via a nozzle. The vapor space in the VCT contains hydrogen which dissolves in the coolant. Any fission gases present are removed from the system by venting of the VCT when required.
The charging pumps take the coolant from the VCT and send it along two parallel paths: 1) to the RCS through the tube side of the regenerative heat exchangers; and
- 2) to the seals of the reactor coolant pumps. The streams divide with some water flowing into the RCS and the remainder leaving the pumps as seal leakage. From the pumps, the leakage water goes to the seal water heat exchanger and then returns to the VCT for another circuit. If the normal letdown and charging path through the regenerative heat exchanger is not operable, water injected into the RCS through the reactor coolant pump seals is returned to the VCT through the excess letdown heat exchanger.
Surges from the RCS accumulate in the VCT unless a high water level in the tank causes flow to be diverted to the Boron Recycle or waste processing systems.
Makeup to the CVCS comes from the following sources:
(1) Demineralized water supply, when the concentration of dissolved neutron absorber is to be reduced.
(2) Boric acid tank, when the concentration of dissolved neutron absorber is to be increased.
(3) A blend of demineralized water and concentrated boric acid to match the reactor coolant boron concentration for normal plant makeup.
(4) Refueling water storage tank for emergency makeup of borated water.
The chemical mixing tank is used to inject small quantities of hydrazine for oxygen scavenging or lithium hydroxide for pH control.
1.2.2.11 Sampling and Water Quality System The sampling and water quality system provides the equipment necessary to provide required process samples for laboratory analysis. These analyses provide the essential chemical and radiochemical data required for the operation of the various process systems in each of the two units.
1.2-8 GENERAL PLANT DESCRIPTION
WATTS BAR WBNP-92 1.2.2.12 Ventilation The internal environments of the various buildings of the plant are controlled within acceptable limits for safety, comfort, and equipment protection by several heating, cooling, and ventilating systems. Filtration is provided in exhaust systems as required to reduce contaminants.
Heating systems involve both electric and hot water systems while cooling systems utilize fan coil units supplied with direct expansion, chilled water, or raw water coils.
Ventilation is by both supply and exhaust with central intakes and exhausts for proper treatment of the air.
Redundant equipment is provided for safety related equipment.
1.2.2.13 Fire Protection System The fire protection systems are designed to provide early detection and suppression of fires. The suppression systems provide a reliable water and Co2 distribution system to control and extinguish fires both inside and outside the buildings. The water base suppression systems consist of pumps, headers, yard hydrants, automatic spray systems for outdoor transformers, automatic sprinkler system inside buildings and hose stations at strategic locations within the buildings.
The Co2 systems consist of storage tanks, supply headers, and suppression system piping and nozzles for protection inside the buildings.
1.2.2.14 Compressed Air Systems The compressed air system is common to both units and is divided into three subsystems: the station control and service air system, and two auxiliary control air systems for emergency use. The station control and service air system, supplies compressed air for general plant service, instrumentation, testing, and control. The auxiliary control air systems provide, as a minimum, sufficient air for an orderly plant shutdown under conditions such as safe shutdown earthquake and maximum possible flood. Only the auxiliary control air systems are considered to be Engineered Safety Features. For detailed description see Section 9.3.1.
1.2.2.15 Engineered Safety Features Several ESF have been incorporated into the plant design to reduce the consequences of a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA). One of these safety features is an emergency core cooling system (ECCS) which automatically delivers borated water to the reactor core via the cold legs to cool it under high and low reactor pressure conditions and inserts negative reactivity during plant cooldown following a steam line rupture or other accidental steam release. Another safety feature is the ice condenser containment system. Basically, this system involves the very rapid absorption of the energy released from the RCS in the improbable event of a LOCA. The energy is absorbed by condensing the steam in a low temperature heat sink, consisting of a suitable quantity of ice permanently stored, in a cold storage compartment, inside the containment. This containment system results in markedly reducing the peak pressure GENERAL PLANT DESCRIPTION 1.2-9
WATTS BAR WBNP-92 that would result in the containment in the event of LOCA and reduces this peak to an even lower value within a few minutes. The system also removes iodine radioactivity from the containment atmosphere by the action of sodium tetraborate impregnated ice.
There are several other systems which help mitigate the consequences of a LOCA by aiding the systems mentioned above or by the performance of other specific functions.
The containment spray system sprays cool water into the containment atmosphere to ensure that the containment pressure limit is not exceeded. The air return fans also aid in the operation of the containment spray system and the ice condenser by circulating air from the upper compartment of the containment through the ice condenser. This system also limits hydrogen concentration by ensuring a flow of air in potentially stagnated regions. The containment isolation systems maintain containment integrity by isolating fluid systems that pass through the containment.
The radioactivity that may be released in the containment will be confined there by this system.
To help reduce radioactive nuclide releases to the atmosphere this plant is provided with gas treatment systems. The emergency gas treatment system (EGTS) and the Auxiliary Building gas treatment system (ABGTS) establish and maintain the air pressure below atmospheric in the Shield Building annulus and the Auxiliary Building secondary containment enclosure (ABSCE), respectively. These systems also reduce the concentration of radioactive nuclides in the air released from the annulus and the ABSCE.
1.2.2.16 Shared Facilities and Equipment Separate and similar safety-related systems and equipment are provided for each unit of the two unit Watts Bar Nuclear Plant except as noted below.

WATTS BAR WBNP-97 1.8 TECHNICAL QUALIFICATION OF APPLICANT The TVA power system is the largest in the United States. Power generating facilities operated by TVA at September 30, 2009, included 29 coventional hydroelectric sites, one pumped storage hydroelectric site, 11 coal-fired sites, three nuclear sites, 11 combustion turbine sites, two diesel generator sites, one wind energy site, one digester gas site, one biomass cofiring site, and 15 solar energy sites. TVA has three nuclear sites consisting of six units in operation. The units at Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant are boiling water reactor units and the units at the Sequoyah and Watts Bar Nuclear Plants are pressurized water reactor units. At September 30, 2009, these facilities accounted for 6,624 MW of summer net capability. TVA is primarily a wholesaler of power, operating generating plants, and transmission facilities, but no retail distribution systems. The TVA transmission system contains over 16,500 miles of lines. TVA supplies power over an area of about 90,000 square miles in parts of 7 southeastern states, containing about eight million people, and more than 2.3 million residential, farm, commercial and industrial customers.
The Tennessee Valley Authority has been engaged in the business of designing, constructing, and operating large power-producing hydro, steam, and nuclear units for over 50 years. The applicant's technical qualifications to construct and operate Watts Bar Units 1 and 2 are evidenced by the skills and experience gained over many years in the power business. This experience is supplemented by the skills and experience of TVA's consultants and its contractors in assisting in the design, construction, and operation of the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant.
TVA has acted as its own engineer/constructor and as such has pioneered in erecting large generating units. Examples are the 1,150 megawatt electric (MWe) unit placed in operation at the Paradise Steam Plant; the 1,300 MWe units in operation at the Cumberland Steam Plant; the three 1,100 MWe units at the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant; the 1,218 MWe unit placed in operation at the Watts Bar Plant; and the two 1,170 MWe units at the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant. Over 60 individual steam generating units have been designed, constructed, and placed in operation by TVA in the past 35 years.
TVA has an experienced competent nuclear plant design organization, including engineers with many years of experience in the design and construction of large plants, including the design of the Browns Ferry, Sequoyah, Watts Bar, and Bellefonte Nuclear Plants.
Much of TVA's experience has been gained from early and continuing participation in nuclear power studies. In 1946, TVA took part in the Daniels Power Pile Study at Oak Ridge and the work of the Parker Committee, which surveyed prospects of nuclear power application. In 1953, TVA started developing a nuclear power staff and began a more detailed study of possible uses of nuclear power on its system.
In 1960, TVA agreed to operate the Experimental Gas-Cooled Reactor for the AEC at Oak Ridge and developed a technical and operating staff. Many of these trained and experienced people were assigned to TVA engineering and operating organizations TECHNICAL QUALIFICATION OF APPLICANT 1.8-1

WATTS BAR WBNP-95 k
1.9 NUCLEAR PERFORMANCE PLAN In 1985, in response to various problems identified in the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) nuclear program and numerous employee concerns raised with respect to the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant (WBN), TVA shut down all of its operating nuclear units and delayed its pursuit of an operating license for WBN Unit 1. Subsequently, TVA embarked on a long-term effort to comprehensively review its nuclear program. This effort, as it specifically relates to WBN resulted in the Watts Bar Nuclear Performance Plan (WBNPP) Volume 4, which was endorsed by the NRC by letter to TVA dated December 28, 1989[1]
The WBNPP describes the actions taken or planned by TVA to identify, document, investigate, and correct problems for WBN Unit 1. The WBNPP specifically provides further assurance that upon completion of these actions, WBN will be designed and constructed in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements and TVA commitments.
In a letter dated August 3, 2007 [28], TVA stated its intention to resolve the Unit 2 Corrective Action Plans (CAPs) and Special Programs (SPs) using the WBNPP [1],
NUREG-0847 and applicable regulations.
1.9.1 Corrective Action Plans Through the issue discovery process and the Systematic Evaluation, a number of nonconforming issues were identified regarding WBN Unit 1. The identified issues were consolidated into groups of similar issues such as QA/QC Records, design control, and issues affecting the same population of hardware (e.g., cables, piping, conduit and conduit supports, HVAC ducts and their supports). The broad scope, generic, or programmatic issues formed the basis of the Corrective Action Plans (CAPs). Other significant issues formed the basis of the Special Programs (SPs) identified in Section 1.9.2. Other specific, isolated issues continue to be resolved through the corrective action process.
The WBNPP provides a summary description and listing of 18 CAPS. The CAPS were submitted to NRC to obtain their concurrence with the approach described in the CAPs. A formal presentation of selected CAPs was also made to the NRC to address the NRC staff's specific questions as well as questions regarding TVA's overall approach in using CAPs as a tool for resolving nonconforming issues. The 18 CAPs are briefly described in Sections 1.9.1.1 through 1.9.1.18.
1.9.1.1 Cable Issues This CAP provides methods for analyzing cable issues identified in Employee Concerns, conditions adverse to quality (CAQs), and NRC findings. This effort resolved prior discrepancies and ensures the adequacy of existing and future cable installations. The NRC endorsed the approach by SER, dated April 25, 1991(Unit 1) [2]
and August 31, 2009 (Unit 2) [29].

This CAP assures that WBN safety-related cable tray and cable tray supports meet licensing requirements and program improvements are in place to ensure the adequacy of new or modified cable tray and cable tray supports. The CAP includes the review and revision of design criteria as necessary to ensure technical adequacy and compliance with licensing commitments. Also, design output requirements are revised or developed to comply with design criteria and to adequately translate TVA design requirements to the NRC. The NRC endorsed the approach by SER dated September 13, 1989 (Unit 1) [3] and February 11, 2009 assessment (Unit 2) [30].
1.9.1.3 Design Baseline and Verification Program (DBVP)
This CAP is an integrated effort to ensure that the plant licensing basis is consistent with plant design and that the plant design basis is supported by adequate analysis.
The DBVP ensures that an effective design change control process is implemented in order to maintain configuration control. The approach was endorsed by NRC in Inspection Report 390, 391/89-12 dated November 20, 1989 (Unit 1) [4] and February 11, 2009 assessment (Unit 2) [30].
1.9.1.4 Electrical Conduit and Conduit Support This CAP includes a critical case evaluation program to assure the structural adequacy of existing safety-related conduit and conduit supports that are required for Unit 1 operation.
Design output documents are revised or developed to comply with design criteria and to adequately translate design requirements. Any specific attributes not meeting these design criteria are modified as necessary. Where changes to licensing commitments are necessary, technical justification is provided and the FSAR revised accordingly.
The NRC endorsed the approach by SER dated September 1, 1989 (Unit 1) [5] and February 11, 2009 assessment (Unit 2) [30].
1.9.1.5 Electrical Issues Implementation of this CAP ensures that the identified electrical issues are resolved in conformance with WBN licensing requirements. CAP activities provide the means to resolve the discrepancies and ensure the adequacy of existing and future electrical installations.
This effort documents resolution of electrical issues by issuing or revising calculations, procedures, design output documents, corrective actions for existing CAQs, topical reports, and test procedures. New CAQs are issued if additional deficiencies are identified as part of this effort. Walk-down data is collected and documented in 1.9-2 NUCLEAR PERFORMANCE PLAN
WATTS BAR WBNP-95 accordance with walk-down procedures. The NRC endorsed the approach by SER dated September 11, 1989 (Unit 1) [6] and August 31, 2009 (Unit 2 ) [29].
1.9.1.6 Equipment Seismic Qualification Implementation of this CAP ensures that equipment seismic qualification is in conformance with WBN licensing requirements.
Field data is gathered in accordance with approved engineering walkthrough procedures. Calculations are performed and documented in accordance with TVA procedures. The justification for any equipment installation discrepancies that are determined to be "not significant to equipment qualification" and left installed as-is, is documented. The NRC endorsed the approach by SER dated September 11, 1989 (Unit 1) [7] and February 11, 2009 assessment (Unit 2) [30].
1.9.1.7 Fire Protection Provides assurance that WBN complies with Appendix A to BTP 9.5.1 and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R, Sections III.G, III.J, III.L and III.O. Deviations/exemptions are documented and justified, or corrected.

WATTS BAR WBNP-95 1.9.1.11 Instrument Lines This CAP identifies the major technical issues and provides corrective actions necessary to assure that the instrument lines and associated supports are functionally and structurally adequate, and comply with WBN licensing and design basis requirements. Where changes to licensing commitments are necessary, technical justification is provided and the FSAR revised accordingly. The NRC endorsed the approach by SER dated September 8, 1989 (Unit 1) [12] and February 11, 2009 assessment (Unit 2) [30].
1.9.1.12 Prestart Test Program The Prestart Test Program CAP plan was withdrawn with the resubmittal of Chapter 14 of the FSAR to conform to the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.68, Revision 2.
The entire program is described in the current revision to Chapter 14. The NRC endorsed Chapter 14 in SSER-14 dated December, 1994.[13]
1.9.1.13 QA Records This CAP resolves recognized records issues in a controlled program which:
(a) provides appropriate records storage; (b) allows timely and reliable retrieval of site records commensurate with the importance of the record; (c) resolves WBN construction and operations record deficiencies; and (d) provides recurrence control for ongoing activities.
This program is documented through the implementation of procedures. Open CAQs are tracked in accordance with site procedures. The NRC endorsed the approach by SER dated April 25, 1994 (Unit 1) [14] and September 8, 2009 assessment (Unit 2) [31].
1.9.1.14 Q-LIST The Q-list CAP provides a differentiation between features with full QA Program Requirements and those with limited QA Program requirements. The NRC endorsed the approach in SSER 13 (Appendix-AA) of NUREG-0847 dated April 1994 (Unit 1) [15]
and February 11, 2009 assessment (Unit 2) [30].
1.9.1.15 Replacement Items Program (RIP-CAP)
The WBN RIP-CAP evaluates replacement items that are currently installed or will be installed to ensure that the components' ability to perform intended safety function has not been degraded.
The technical and quality requirements provided by the WBN Procurement Engineering Group is documented in output packages and dedication packages for commercial grade items. The compilation of previous maintenance activities is documented in a computer database. The engineering evaluations performed for those individual parts reviewed from inventory, or installed in the plant are documented in item evaluation QA records (including dedication documentation for QA Level II items). Other reviews are documented in QA record task summary reports. The NRC endorsed the approach by letter dated July 27, 1992 (Unit 1) [16] and September 9, 2009 assessment (Unit 2)[32].
1.9-4 NUCLEAR PERFORMANCE PLAN
WATTS BAR WBNP-95 1.9.1.16 Seismic Analysis The purpose of this CAP was to confirm that the seismic analyses of structures and the Amplified Response Spectra generated from the analyses are technically adequate and satisfy licensing requirements. In addition, related employee concern and CAQs dealing with seismic analysis issues were resolved.
Seismic data produced as a result of this CAP is utilized by several different disciplines to calculate component-specific seismic requirements. The NRC endorsed the approach by SER dated September 7, 1989[17] and in SSER 6 of NUREG-0847 dated April 1991 (Unit 1) [18] and February 11, 2009 assessment (Unit 2)[30].
1.9.1.17 Vendor Information This CAP provides reasonable assurance that vendor requirements for the installation, operation, maintenance, and testing of safety-related equipment are verified to be current, complete, and appropriately updated for the life of the plant. Also, the CAP confirms that correct vendor documents have been used as input to TVA design output documents, and plant instructions and procedures when appropriate. The consistency between vendor technical manuals, TVA documents, and plant configuration is confirmed as a result of direct Vendor Information CAP activities and by review/analysis of other WBN recovery and corrective action programs. The NRC endorsed the approach in SSER 11 of NUREG-0847 dated April 1993 (Unit 1) [19] and February 11, 2009 assessment (Unit 2)[30].
1.9.1.18 Welding This CAP provided reasonable assurance that existing welds at WBN are adequate, that future welding activities will meet licensing requirements, and that a welding program is in place that can demonstrate compliance with these requirements.
This CAP resulted in three reports (Phase I, Phase II, and a Final Report) that provided TVA's bases for determining that welding of structures, systems, and components at WBN are adequate and satisfy licensing requirements. The NRC endorsed the approach in Inspection Report Nos. 50-390/89-04 and 50-391/89-04 dated August 9, 1989[20] and in Inspection Report Nos. 50-390/90-04 and 50-391/90-04 dated May 17, 1990.[21] The CAP was subsequently revised on July 31, 1990,[22] and the revisions were accepted by NRC in a letter dated March 5, 1991 (Unit 1) [23] and February 11, 2009 assessment (Unit 2)[30].
1.9.2 Special Programs (SPs)
The WBNPP provides summary descriptions and a listing of 11 SPs. Since many of the SPs were narrow in scope, and for many others substantial progress had already been made and several reports submitted to NRC, SPs were not sent to NRC for prior endorsement of approach. These programs have been reviewed and accepted by NUREG-1232, Volume 4.[1]
The SPs are described in Sections 1.9.2.1 through 1.9.2.11 NUCLEAR PERFORMANCE PLAN 1.9-5
WATTS BAR WBNP-95 1.9.2.1 Concrete Quality Program Verified that plant/construction procedures met FSAR commitments regarding concrete compressive strength and frequency of sampling. The NRC accepted TVA's conclusions for this program in SER NUREG-1232, Volume 4 (Unit 1) [1] and February 11, 2009 assessment (Unit 2)[30].
1.9.2.2 Containment Cooling Ensured that the WBN time-dependent environmental qualification temperature profile for the lower compartment had adequately considered the long-term effects of an MSLB inside containment for a plant going to hot standby conditions (as opposed to cold shutdown). The NRC endorsed the approach for the Containment Cooling SP by SER dated May 21, 1991 (Unit 1) [24] and February 11, 2009 assessment (Unit 2) [30].
1.9.2.3 Detailed Control room Design Review This SP involved the performance of a detailed control room design review consistent with NUREG-0737, Supplement 1, and other commitments to the NRC regarding human factors-related control room issues. The NRC endorsed the approach for the DCRDR Special Program in SSER 6 of NUREG-0847 dated April 1991 (Unit 1) [25] and February 11, 2009 assessment (Unit 2) [30].
1.9.2.4 Environmental Qualification Program To satisfy 10 CFR 50.49 requirements and the intent of Regulatory Guide 1.89, Revision 1, as appropriate.
Auditable documentation is compiled (EQ binders), and program controls are implemented to ensure compliance with EQ-related regulations. The NRC endorsed the approach for the Environmental Qualification Special Program by SER NUREG-1232, Volume 4 (Unit 1) [1] and February 11, 2009 assessment (Unit 2) [30] .
1.9.2.5 Master Fuse List The purpose of the SP is (1) develop a list of both Class 1E safety-related fuses that are under TVA design control and non-Class 1E penetration protection fuses, (2) identify areas were Bussman KAZ actuators were incorrectly used and replace as necessary, and (3) correct design problems associated with EPA fuses. The NRC endorsed the approach to resolve these issues in SER NUREG-1232, Volume 4 (Unit 1) [1] and February 11, 2009 assessment (Unit 2)[30].
1.9.2.6 Mechanical Equipment Qualification The purpose of this SP is to define WBN actions that were necessary to ensure that active safety-related mechanical equipment located in a harsh environment will perform its intended function during both normal and accident conditions. The NRC endorsed the approach for the Mechanical Equipment Qualification Special Program by SER NUREG-1232, Volume 4 (Unit1) [1] and February 11, 2009 assessment (Unit 2) [30].
