1 NRC RAIs Regarding GGNS PRNM System LAR Entergy Operations, Inc.

GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy May 25, 2010

2 Purpose of the Meeting Discuss RAIs Ensure RAIs are understood Discuss approach to responses

3 PRNM System Overview A digital upgrade to the current APRM subsystem of the Neutron Monitoring System (NMS)

Results in greater instrument accuracy, redundancy, improved response times, and scram avoidance.

No setpoint drift System design and associated TS changes documented in PRNM LTR (NEDC-32410P-A); approved by NRC

4 PRNM System Overview (contd)

Supports plant operation at higher power levels Supports a different core stability solution needed for extended power uprate conditions Changing from Option E-I-A to Option III

5 Current APRM Configuration (e) HITACHI LPRM Inputs APRMC APRMG LPRM Inputs DIV III RPSA ~~~---------

13 RAI No. 2 Confirm plant requirements are met Review UFSAR to identify requirements for current APRM subsystem Compare to codes and standards specified in the PRNM LTR Revise Attachment 2 to reflect information (similar to MNGP approach)

14 RAI No. 3 Address software common-cause failure

PRNM software currently licensed for use via PRNM LTR

GGNS application same as other plants with PRNM System

Over 90 reactor-years of safe operation

Software functions thoroughly tested during the Factory Acceptance Test prior to installation

18 RAI No. 5 Document equipment EQ activities and confirm

Document EQ conditions in Attachment 2 Compare GGNS parameters with PRNM LTR

Equipment qualification performed as part of the Engineering Change process Performed after fabrication and prior to installation (~ 4th quarter 2010)

Documented in a Qualification Summary Report

Propose a License Condition to provide the report to NRC prior to startup from the 2012 refueling outage

19 RAI No. 7 Human Factors - Maintain current interface feel PRNM data to be presented on flat screen monitors currently used by control room operators Human Factors Evaluation (HFE) to be performed following design completion

(~ 4th quarter 2010)

Propose a License Condition to provide the report to NRC prior to startup from the 2012 refueling outage

20 RAI No. 8 Failure Rate Data Updating Table F.2 of the PRNM LTR to specifically reflect BWR/6 design; to be included in the response

21 RAI No. 9 Administrative Controls Access to GGNS Control Room granted via keycard

((

{3}))

Considering physical barriers (e.g.,

locking bars covering module controls)

Will develop a procedure to address access controls
