Enclosure 1 TVA Letter Dated November 5, 2010 Description of Commitments and Requested Vendor Documents II. The following provides TVAs revised response to Letter Item 30 (Matrix Item 310) contained in TVA Letter dated October 29, 2010, Watts Bar Nuclear Plant (WBN)
Unit 2, Instrumentation and Control Staff Information Request:
NRC Request (Item Number 310)
(1) FSAR amendment 100, Page 7.1-14, TVA setpoint methodology, states that for AAF
.and other measurable uncertainties as appropriate (i.e., those present during calibration.) should be changed to present during normal operation (2) Also on page 7.1-15 , states that ALT may take calibration history into consideration which is vague and ambiguous.
TVA Response:
(1) The AAF definition will be revised in FSAR Amendment 102 to read:
A tolerance band on either side of the NTSP which defines the limits of acceptable instrument performance, beyond which the channel may be considered degraded and must be evaluated for operability prior to returning it to service. Channels which exceed the AAF will be entered into the Corrective Action Program for further evaluation and trending. The Acceptable As Found tolerance is the SRSS combination of drift, maintenance and test equipment (M&TE) accuracy and readability, and calibration/reference accuracy. Other uncertainties may be included in the AAF if applicable.
This revision eliminates the concern regarding uncertainties. Attachment 3 contained in the October 29, 2010 letter provided the revised FSAR Section 7.1.2.1.9 that will be included in FSAR Amendment 102 that reflects this change.
(2) The AAL definition will be revised in FSAR Amendment 102 to read:
A tolerance band on either side of the NTSP within which an instrument or instrument loop is left after calibration or setpoint verification. The Acceptable As Left tolerance is equal to or less than the SRSS combination of reference accuracy, M&TE accuracy and M&TE readability. Other uncertainties may be included in the AAL if applicable.
This revision eliminates the concern regarding calibration history. Attachment 3 contained in the October 29, 2010 letter provided the revised FSAR Section 7.1.2.1.9 that will be included in FSAR Amendment 102 that reflects this change.
