Closed Closed EICB RAI TVA Letter dated The drawing provided did not have the 043 7.5.2 7.5.1 EICB (Carte) 2/19/2010 The PAMS ISG6 compliance matrix supplied as Enclosure 1 to TVA letter dated February 5, 2010 is a first draft of the information needed. The shortcomings of the first three lines in the matrix are:
Line 1: Section 11 of the Common Q topical report did include a commercial grade dedication program, but this program was not approved in the associated SE. Westinghouse stated that this was the program and it could now be reviewed. The NRC stated that TVA should identified what they believe was previously reviewed and approved.
Line 2: TVA stated the D3 analysis was not applicable to PAMS, but provided no justification. The NRC asked for justification since SRP Chapter 7.5 identified SRM to SECV-93-087 Item II.Q as being SRP acceptance criteria for PAMS.
Responder: WEC Date: 5/25/10 The PAMS ISG6 compliance matrix supplied as Enclosure 1 to TVA letter dated February 5, 2010 is a first draft of the information needed.
By letter dated April 8, 2010 TVA provided the PAMS Licensing Technical Report provided additional information.
contains the revised Common Q PAMS ISG-6 Compliance Matrix, dated June 11, 2010, that addresses these items (Reference 13).
By letter Dated June 18, 2010 (see Attachment 3) TVA provided a table, "Watts Bar 2 - Common Q PAMS ISG-6 Compliance Matrix."
N Open Revised response included in letter dated 12/22/10.
Response is included in letter dated 10/5/10.
Revised compliance matrix is unacceptable.

NNC 11/23/10: WNA-LI-00058-WT-P Rev. 1 Section 7 does not include the RSED documents, and it should. Table 6-1 Item No. 15 should also include the RSED RTMs.

Response
Acceptable Y/N Status/ Current Actions Resolution Path RAI No. & Date RAI Resp. Date Comments Line 3: TVA identified that the Design report for computer integrity was completed as part of the common Q topical report. The NRC noted that this report is applicable for a system in a plant, and the CQ topical report did no specifically address this PAMS system at Watts Bar Unit 2.
NRC then concluded that TVA should go through and provide a more complete and thorough compliance matrix.
It is TVAs understanding that this comment is focused on the fact that there are documents that NRC has requested that are currently listed as being available for audit at the Westinghouse offices. For those Common Q PAMS documents that are TVA deliverable documents from Westinghouse, TVA has agreed to provide those to NRC.
Westinghouse documents that are not deliverable to TVA will be available for audit as stated above. Requirements Traceability Matrix issues will be tracked under NRC RAI Matrix Items 142 (Software Requirements Specification) and 145 (System Design Specification). Commercial Item Dedication issues will be tracked under NRC RAI Matrix Item 138. This item is considered closed.
WNA-LI-00058-WT-P, Revision 2, Post-Accident Monitoring System (PAMS) Licensing Technical Report submitted in TVA Letter to NRC dated December 3, 2010, Watts Bar Nuclear Plant (WBN) Unit 2 - Instrumentation and Controls Staff Information Requests, (Reference 1) contains the following changes to address the NRC requests:
(1) While RSEDs are not specifically mentioned, Section 7 has been revised to be applicable to both hardware and software which includes the RSEDs.
(2) Table 6-1 item 15 reference added for WNA-VR-00280-WBT (RESD) undertake: (1) follow ISG6, and (2) follow the CQ SPM. The TVA response that was originally pursued was to follow ISG6, but some of the compliance items for ISG6 were addressed by referencing the SPM. The NRC approved the CQ TR and associated SPM; it may be more appropriate to review the WBN2 PAMS application to for adherence to the SPM that to ISG6. In either path chosen, the applicant should provide documents and a justification for the acceptability of any deviation from the path chosen. For example, it appears that the Westinghouse's CDIs are commercial grade dedication plans, but Westinghouse maintains that they are commercial grade dedication reports; this apparent deviation should be justified or explained.

Closed Closed EICB RAI TVA Letter dated 050 7.5.2 7.5.1 EICB (Carte) 4/8/2010 How should the "shall" statements outside of the bracketed requirements in Common Q requirements documents be interpreted?
Responder: WEC Date: 5/25/10 These sections are descriptive text and not requirements.
The next revision of the Watts Bar Unit 2 PAMS System Requirements Specification will remove shall from the wording in those sections. A date for completing the next revision of the System Requirements Specification will be provided no later than August 31, 2010.
The System Requirements Specification will be revised by September 30, 2010 and submitted within two of receipt from Westinghouse.
TVA Revised Response Shall statements within the scope of the System Requirements Specification (SysRS) and System Design Specification (SysDS) were reviewed by Westinghouse. The statements were either relocated to the numbered requirements section or the wording was changed to identify that it was not a requirement. This item is resolved by submittal of revision 2 of the SysRS and the SysDS (attachments 7 and 8 of TVA Letter to NRC dated 10/25/10).
N Open Revised response included in letter dated 12/22/10.

Responder: Hilmes Reactor Protection System (RPS) (comprised of Reactor Trip (RPS) and Engineered Safety Features Actuation System (ESFAS)) setpoint values are monitored by periodic performance of surveillance tests in accordance with Technical Specification requirements. TVA uses double-sided as-found and as-left tolerances for Reactor Trip and ESFAS trip setpoint surveillance tests as described in FSAR amendment 100.
TVA Revised Response:
For TSTF-493 parameters WBN Unit 2 uses only double sided correction factors. Attachment 3 contains the revised FSAR section 7.1.2.1.9 that will be included in FSAR Amendment 102 that reflects this change.
Y Open Revised response is included in letter dated 10/29/10 Open-TVA/A102 Pending FSAR Amendment 102 submittal Due 12/17/10 TVA needs to address that trip setpoint and allowable value uncertainties are not reduced by the reduction factor for the single sided reduction factor.

- 1.
How did TVA ensure the traceability of each requirement in the WBN2 PAMS SysRS.
- 2.
Explain the source(s) of the requirements present in the Post Accident Monitoring Systems Software Requirements Specification. To clarify, many documents have requirements that are incorporated by reference into the SRS, but what served to direct the author to include those various documents in the SRS or, if the requirement is based on the System Requirements Specification, what directed the author to include the requirement there?
- 3.
Clarify whether the unnumbered paragraphs in the Post Accident Monitoring Systems Software Requirements Specification, such as in the section headings, or are all such sections simply considered to be informative?
Does the same apply to documents referenced by the SRS?
Such as WCAP-16096-NP-A, Rev. 1A, Software Program Manual for Common Q Systems, which is incorporated by reference in requirement R2.3-2 in the SRS.
R2.3-2 [The PAMS software shall comply with the Responder: WEC This item is used to track all traceability issues with the Software Requirements Specification (SRS).
At the September 15 public meeting in Rockville, the following actions were agreed to. These items address the traceability concerns with the Software Requirements Specification.
- 1.
Westinghouse will perform completed a review of the Requirements Traceability Matrix(RT), using the issues identified at the 9/15 public meeting as a guide (documented below) and update the RTM as required.
- 2.
The next issue of the IV&V report will include the Requirements phase review of the RTM and a partial review for the Design phase.
- 3.
Westinghouse will add a comments column in the Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) to address items not in the SRS or SysRS.

If any requirements are expressed in such unnumbered paragraph form instead of individually identified requirements, please list them, describe why they satisfy the fundamental requirement of unambiguity, and describe how they were verified.
- 4.
Are there any sources of requirements in parallel with the Post Accident Monitoring Systems Software Requirements Specification? Meaning does the SRS contain, explicitly or by reference, all the requirements that were used in the design phase for the application specific software, or do software design phase activities use requirements found in any other source or document? If so, what are these sources or documents?
- 5.
References 12, 27, 29, and 31-44 in the Post Accident Monitoring Systems Software Requirements Specification are various types of Reusable Software Element.
These references are used in the body of the SRS, for example:
R5.3.14-2 [The Addressable Constants CRC error signal shall be TRUE when any CAL CRC's respective ERROR terminal = TRUE (WNA-DS-00315-GEN, "Reusable Software Element Document CRC for Calibration Data" [Reference 12]).]
They are also included via tables such as found in requirement R7.1.2-1
[The Watts Bar 2 PAMS shall use the application-specific type circuits and custom PC elements listed in Table 7.1-1.]
Do the referenced reusable software element documents include requirements not explicitly stated in the SRS? If so what is their origin?

Provide the information on how the WBN2 setpoint methodology meets the guidance of RIS 2006-17 and include this discussion in this section. Also, by letter dated May 13, 2010, TVA provided Rev. 7 of EEB-TI-28 to the staff. The staff noted that section 4.3.3.6 of EEB-TI-28 discusses the correction for setpoints with a single side of interest. It should be noted that the staff has not approved this aspect of setpoint methodology for Unit 1. The staff finds this reduction in uncertainties is not justified unless it can be demonstrated that the 95/95 criteria is met.

TVA Revised Response:
In order to respond to other NRC comments on the setpoint methodology discussion in FSAR Amendment 100, TVA reviewed the previous response to this RAI. This resulted in a complete rewrite of the responses to this question as shown below. As a result, the response does not specifically address the NRC Follow-up Request. However, the overall responses to all of the NRC RAIs on setpoint methodology addresses this item.
(Q1)
WBN 2 implementation of TSTF-493, Rev. 4, Option A includes addition of a discussion of the WBN setpoint methodology in FSAR section 7.1.2.1.9.
(Q2)
Electrical Engineering Branch (EEB) Technical Instruction (TI) 28, Setpoint Calculations, single-sided methodology conforms to WBN's design basis commitment to ensure that 95% of the analyzed population is covered by the calculated tolerance limits as defined in NRC Reg Guide 1.105, Revision 2, 1986, which was in effect during WBN Unit 1 licensing. Single-sided multipliers are not used for any TSTF-493 setpoints.
There are some areas where a 95% confidence level could not be achieved. Some examples would be harsh environment instrumentation where only 2 or 3 devices were tested in the 10CFR50.49 program. In these situations, the Confidence is referred to as high..

FSAR section 7.2.2.1.1 states that dashed lines in Figure 15.1-1designed to prevent exceeding 121% of power.The value of 121% is changed from 118%. The justification for this change states that this was done to bring the text of this section in agreement with section 4.3.2.2.5, 4.4.2.2.6 and table 4.1-1.
However, Table 4.1-1 and section 4.3.2.2.5 still show this value as 118%. Justify the change.

Depending on the use in the FSAR either 118% or 121% are the correct values. As a result of the question, Westinghouse reviewed all locations where either 118% or 121% are used and the context of use and provided a FSAR markup to reflect the correct value at the specific location. These changes will be incorporated in a future FSAR amendment.

Closed Closed Not Required N/A 276 7.6 7.6 EICB (Garg) 8/27/2010 In order for the staff to review the effects of multi control systems failure, provide the summary of the analyses documenting the effect on the plant based on the following events: (1) loss of power to all control systems powered by a single power supply; (2) failure of each instrument sensor which provides signal to two or more control systems; (3) Break of any sensor impulse line which is used for sensors providing signals to two or more control systems; and (4) failure of digital system based on the common cause software failure affecting two or more control systems. For each of these events, confirm that the consequences of these events will not be outside chapter 15 analyses or beyond the capability of operators or safety systems.
Responder: Webb The NRC reviewer confirmed this question applies to non-safety systems.
The Distributed Control System (DCS) implemented using Foxboro I/A hardware, replaces most of the non-safety related control systems for WBN Unit 2. The other non-safety-related control systems within the scope of this question are:
- a.
Rod Control - Failures of this system are addressed in FSAR Chapter 15.
- b.
Main Turbine Electro-Hydraulic Control System The following provides the requested summaries for the four events listed:
(1) The (DCS) segmentation analysis submitted on TVA letter to NRC dated August 11, 2010, Enclosure 2 (Reference 7) demonstrates that the loss of any single power source does not result in a loss of any DCS function. The other systems within the scope of this question are configured in the same manner as Unit 1, with redundant power sources such that the failure of a single power source does not cause a loss of function.
(2) Signals shared by more than one control function within the DCS are addressed in the DCS segmentation analysis submitted on TVA letter to NRC dated August 11, 2010, Enclosure 2 (Reference 7) which demonstrates that the loss of a single signal does not cause a failure of any critical control function.
The impact of a loss of signal to the other systems within the scope of this question is bounded by the loss of that signal to the individual system and has the same effect as for Unit 1.
(3) Where feasible, the Unit 2 design includes separate sense lines for redundant transmitters, thereby eliminating multiple single point failures which are present in Unit 1. A review of the transmitter sense line database was performed to identify multiple sensors on a single sense line that had control functions (transmitters and switches). Attachment 9 provides the results of the review and an analysis of the functions Y
Open Revised response provided in letter dated 12/22/10 Response provided in letter dated 10/21/10 Revised response provided in letter dated 11/24/10 Response Acceptable. 11/17/10 TVA changed the response in the latest writeup. The scope of the question applies to all non safety related control systems and is not limited to just three system listed by the TVA. TVA could use to envelope other control systems by Unit 1 analysis if they applies to Unit 2 systems also.
Open-TVA/Bechtel Due 11/24/10 TVA to provide justification for non-safety system other than DCS.
The statement that failure of sense line where more than one transmitter is connected would be bounded by the failure of a single transmitter does not make sense.
TVA needs to make a statement that all non-safety control systems have been evaluated against these criteria and have determined that their failure does not have consequences which will put the plant outside chapter 15 analyses.

Acceptable Y/N Status/ Current Actions Resolution Path RAI No. & Date RAI Resp. Date Comments impacted by a sense line failure.
There are no transmitters on shared sense lines, such that a sense line failure would impact any combination of the DCS, Rod Control or Main Turbine Electro-Hydraulic Control Systems.
(4) Limiting DCS failures were addressed in the segmentation analysis, supplemented by Fault Handling in the I/A Series System, Revision 1, submitted on TVA letter to NRC dated October 5, 2010, Attachment 42 (Reference 1). The other systems within the scope of this question are analog and therefore this question is not applicable.
All non-safety control systems have been evaluated against these criteria and TVA has determined that their failure does not have consequences which will put the plant outside chapter 15 analyses.
TVA Response to Follow-up NRC Request:
All non-safety related control systems were reviewed in the context of this question. The review found that failures of non-safety related control systems based on the scenarios in this RAI, do not have consequences which will put the plant outside the Chapter 15 analyses.

Are there any commercially dedicated parts in the RM-1000? If so, how are they dedicated?
Please confirm that digital communication ports available in RM-1000 are not used.
Responder: Temples/Mather (1) The Radiation Monitoring Design Criteria Document, WB-DC-40-24, Revision 21 is contained in Attachment 6 to letter dated October 31, 2010.
(2) Attachment 7 contains the General Atomics detector differences report. The containment high range radiation monitors are loops 271-274.
(3) For safety-related applications, General Atomics Electronic Systems, Inc. supplies the RM-1000 module assembly as a Basic Component. This assembly does contain component parts that are Safety-Related Commercial Grade Items (SRCGI). Because these SRCGI components are assembled into the delivered Basic Component, they are dedicated to the assembly by virtue of the acceptance test of the full RM-1000 assembly. Safety-related commercial grade items are dedicated in accordance with General Atomics approved 10 CFR 50 Appendix B program.

RAI No. 25 ML102980005 10/26/2010 TVA Letter 11/24/10, item 4, and TVA letter 10/29/10 Item No. 20 301 EICB (Singh) 1.TVA is requested to address the consequences of software common cause failure including all potential resulting failures (i.e.
total loss of CERPI, system fail as-is).
- 2. In addition, address how the actions stipulated in the plant Technical Specifications will be taken when the CERPI system indications are lost. Information notice IN 2010-10 (ML100080281) addresses the need to consider software failures and the actions required to assure that the plant will stay within its licensing basis.
- 3. Provide FMEA in support of your response.
- 4. FSAR Table 7.7-1, Plant Control System Interlocks lists interlock C-11 to block automatic rod withdrawal when 1/1 Control Bank D rod position is above setpoint. This interlock capability would be lost in case of total loss of CERPI. How is the rod block assured for this event?
- 5. How is automatic rod withdrawal affected in case of total loss of signals from the CERPI to the ICS? Is this interlock fail safe?
6.FSAR chapter 15, Section 2.3.2.1states that the resolution of the rod position indicator channel is 5% of span (7.2 inches). The CERPI system accuracy specified in the CERPI System requirements Specification, WNDS-DS-00001_WBT, Rev. 2 is 12 Responder: WEC/Davies/Clark TVA Partial Response:
For all accidents analyzed in WBN Unit 2 FSAR, Chapter 15, no credit is taken for the rod position indication system. For all continuous rod withdrawal accidents analyzed in WBN Unit 2 FSAR, Chapter 15, no credit is taken for any rod stop/block.
(1) Technical Specification 3.1.8, Rod Position Indication, does not have an action for total loss of indication; therefore, a total loss of CERPI puts the plant into LCO 3.0.3 which states:

TVA to address RAI No. 11 ML102980005 10/26/2010 TVA Letter dated 10/29/10 Item No. 21 Note 1:
Effects of common cause software failure are addressed in DI&C-ISG-02 (ML091590268) Section 4 on pages 8 and 9. This document is publically available. Some excerpts are as follows:
For example, a failure to trip might not be as limiting as a partial actuation of an emergency core cooling system, with digital indications of a successful actuation.
In cases such as this, it may take an operator longer to evaluate and correct the safety system failure than it would if there was a total failure to send any actuation signal. For this reason, the evaluation of failure modes as a result of software CCF should include the possibility of partial actuation and failure to actuate with false indications, as well as a total failure to actuate.
The primary concern is that an

Please clarify this anomaly.
Exceptions to this Specification are stated in the individual Specifications. Where corrective measures are completed that permit operation in accordance with the LCO or ACTIONS, completion of the actions required by LCO 3.0.3 is not required.
(2) CERPI common mode software failure Description of the CERPI systems installed at Watts Bar (Unit 1 & 2):
Each Programmable Logic Controller (PLC),
Maintenance Test Panel (MTP), and Operators Module (OM) is isolated within its own Train, A or B. Rod position information is provided to the OMs in the main control room via redundant data links. Each train (PLC, MTP, and OM) is electrically isolated from the other train.
Communications within a CERPI train (PLC, MTP, and OM) are continuously monitored. If communication is interrupted, this condition is annunciated to the operator in the control room. The MTP and OM display screens have rotating cursors in the upper right-hand corner of the display to indicate that the system is operating.
History of CERPI:
The basic PLC software associated with the CERPI system has been in use for over ten years. The first plant to utilize the CERPI PLC software was Beaver Valley. In 2003, the CERPI software was deployed with interfaces to the Common Q MTP and OM interfaces within the systems for Surry Units 1 & 2, and Watts Bar Unit 1. In 2009, the Watts Bar Unit 1 CERPI system was modified to allow for two independent trains of CERPI. The Watts Bar Unit 2 CERPI system is based on the Unit 1 design. Only the detectors and the detector interface boards are not redundant within the Watts Bar CERPI systems.
CERPI Software Failure Analysis With regard to the CERPI system software:
The software used on PLC-A is identical to that used on PLC-B.
The software used on MTP-A is identical to that used on MTP-B The software used on OM-A is identical to that used on OM-B.
A common cause failure affecting the software of one CERPI train would affect the other train as well.
Common cause problems associated with the CERPI software were mitigated by the Westinghouse software development process, factory acceptance testing, and common cause failure as stated under response item 2.
Please explain how various alarms will continue to annunciate on software lockup?
Need better explanation to understand the rationale behind the response.
Further response required to address CCF:
Total failure of software and lock-up alone would normally be detected. Staff is also concerned by undetected failure within the digital system that could prevent proper system operation. A failure or fault that is detected can be addressed; however, failures that are non-detectable may prevent a system actuation when required or may result in a partial actuation.
Please address the consequences of an undetected failures on system operation and alarms and interlocks including control bank D interlock. (See note 1 in the Comments column of this open item for reference) undetected failure within the digital system could prevent proper system operation. A failure or fault that is detected can be addressed; however, failures that are non-detectable may prevent a system actuation when required.
Consequently, non-detectable faults are of concern.

Acceptable Y/N Status/ Current Actions Resolution Path RAI No. & Date RAI Resp. Date Comments site acceptance testing. There is no "fail as-is" scenario. Any failure of a hardware/software component (resulting in processor lock-up) would be immediately annunciated (Main Control Room alarm).
A loss of communication to the MTP, or OM would be annunciated, and the data values on the flat panel display would be displayed in magenta (indicating failure). A hardware/software failure in the PLC (resulting in processor lock-up) would result in an annunciator because of the watchdog alarm circuit associated with the PLC processor module.
A total loss of CERPI indication (e.g., loss of both AC power sources to the rod position cabinets) is possible, but this condition would be immediately annunciated. A complete loss of CERPI indication would lead to entering Technical Specification LCO 3.0.3. A more likely scenario would be loss of a single train of CERPI due to a hardware failure; in which case, there are no technical specification conditions to enter because a single train is capable of providing all rod indications needed for control.
(3) There is no FMEA for the CERPI system.
(4) Control Bank D Automatic Rod Withdrawal Limit would be assured by Operations and control circuitry by the following 2 methods:
- a.
A simultaneous failure of all indications of the Rod Position Indication System places the plant in LCO 3.0.3, since it would prevent compliance with actions in LCO 3.1.8.
- b.
CERPI cabinet relays A-KX-18 and B-KX-18 are the PLC controlled components of Rod Withdrawal Limit. The relays are active low requiring power to activate the contacts in the control circuit. Total loss of CERPI will open the contacts and block Automatic Rod Withdrawal.
Additionally, Annunciator window 64F will annunciate to show C-11 BANK D AUTO WITHDRAWAL BLOCKED.
(5) The CERPI Maintenance and Test Panels are used to set the Rod Withdrawal Limit with output signal to ICS as a parallel path. As stated above, the relays are the controlling functions and loss of signal to ICS will not affect the capability of the control circuit to disable the Automatic Rod Withdrawal function. The C-11 interlock is fail safe with regards to loss of power.
(6) The cycle-specific analyses for the static rod misalignment assume full misalignment of an individual rod from the bank position indicator(s). Such a misalignment exceeds that which is possible during plant operations when accounting for the most adverse combination of the rod deviation alarm and uncertainty of the rod position indicator (both 12 steps).

The resolution of the rod position indicator channel is +/-
12 steps. Deviation of any RCCA from its group by twice this distance (24 steps) will not cause power distributions worse than the design limits. The deviation alarm alerts the operator to rod deviation with respect to group demand position in excess of 12 steps. If the rod deviation alarm is not operable, the operator is required to take action as required by the Technical Specifications.
This change is consistent with FSAR section 4.3.2.2.5, Limiting Power Distributions Page 4.3-13, which states the maximum deviation assumed is 12 steps.
TVA Response to Follow-up NRC Request:
The following response is based on the response in Westinghouse letter WBT-D-2722 Response To Question On CERPI RAI #301 dated December 6, 2010 (Reference 4).
TVA believes the question is related to the statement found in the response submitted on TVA Letter to NRC Watts Bar Nuclear Plant (WBN) Unit 2 - Instrumentation and Controls Staff Information Requests, dated November 24, 2010, (Reference 9) Any failure of a hardware/software component (resulting in processor lock-up) would be immediately annunciated (Main Control Room alarm)
The CERPI system will not annunciate various system alarms if the software is in a lockup condition. However, the system will annunciate an alarm based on the PLC watchdog relay dropping out because the software has locked up the processor. So, even if the PLC locks up, an alarm is generated to alert the operators in the Main Control Room (MCR).
All of the CERPI system alarms (that connect to the plant annunciator system) are wired to specific alarm relays within the CERPI system. With the exception of the watchdog alarm relay, the alarm relay coils are actuated by the PLC Digital Output Module. The plant annunciator wiring connects to either the Normally Open (NO) or the Normally Closed (NC) contacts of the associated alarm relay. The watchdog relay is configured such that when a timeout condition occurs (the PLC locks up), the watchdog relay de-energizes, and a CERPI System Trouble alarm is annunciated in the MCR.

(1) FSAR amendment 100, Section 7.1, page 7.1-12, definition of Acceptable as found tolerance is not in accordance with TSTF-493 as AAF is the limit beyond which the instrument channel is degraded but may be operable and its operability must be evaluated. (2) Also it states that AAF is based on measurable instrument channel uncertainties, such as drift, expected during the surveillance interval. These wording should be revised to agree with the wording given in RIS2006-17 as these wordings are very vague. (3) Also it states that RPS functions use double sided tolerance limits for the AAF. Since AAF is a band it will always be double sided and therefore, this clarification does not mean anything and it clouds the issue.
Responder: Hilmes (1) The Acceptable As Found (AAF) definition will be revised to be consistent with TSTF-493 in FSAR Amendment 102. Attachment 3 contains the revised FSAR section 7.1.2.1.9 that will be included in FSAR Amendment 102 that reflects this change.

(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.

Section 7.6.7 of the FSAR (Amendment 100) states that, The DMIMS-DX' audio and visual alarm capability will remain functional after an Operating Basis Earthquake (OBE). All of the DMIMS-DX' components are qualified for structural integrity during a Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE) and will not mechanically impact any safety-related equipment.
TVA to clarify the seismic qualification of the loose parts monitoring system and include the appropriate information in Table 3.10 (or another suitable section) of the FSAR.
Responder: Clark The title of FSAR Section 3.10 is Seismic Design of Category I Instrumentation and Electrical Equipment. Since the Loose Part Monitoring System is not a Category 1 system, it is not included in the scope of 3.10. FSAR Section 7.6.7, Loose Parts Monitoring System (LPMS) System Description, identifies basic system seismic design criteria which are consistent with the requirements of TVA Design Criteria, WB-DC-30-31, Loose Parts Monitoring System. As identified in FSAR Table 7.1-1, Watts Bar Nuclear Plant NRC Regulatory Guide Conformance, the system conforms to Reg. Guide 1.133 as modified by Note 12. Reg. Guide 1.133 identifies the seismic requirements and Note 12 does not contain any exception to the Regulatory Guide seismic requirements.

As a follow up of OI 190, Staff has reviewed the proprietary version of the DMIMS-DX system description to verify the conformance claims in the FSAR. Staff has noted the following insufficiencies and discrepancies between the FSAR and the proprietary version of the system description for loose parts monitoring system provided by TVA.
- 1) FSAR, Amendment 100, page 7.6-5 states, During baseline testing, the reactor vessel and steam generator are impacted three feet from each sensor with a force of 0.5 ft-lb. Loose parts detection is accomplished at a frequency of 1 kHz to 20 kHz, where background signals from the RCS are acceptable.
Spurious alarming from control rod stepping is prevented by a module that detects CRDM motion commands and automatically inhibits alarms during control rod stepping.
The online sensitivity of the DMIMS-DX' is such that the system will detect a loose part that weighs from 0.25 to 30 Ib and impacts with a kinetic energy of 0.5 ft-lb on the inside surface of the RCS pressure boundary within 3 ft of a sensor.
The source of this information is not cited nor is it described in the system description. TVA to provide the source of the information and update the system description as needed.
- 2) Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.133, rev.1, regulatory position C.1.g states that, Operability for Seismic and Environmental Conditions. Components of the loose-part detection system within containment should be designed and installed to perform their function following all seismic events that do not require plant shutdown, i.e., up to and including the Operating Basis Earthquake (OBE). Recording equipment need not function without maintenance following the specified seismic event provided the audio or visual alarm capability remains functional. The system should also be shown to be adequate by analysis, test, or combined analysis and test for the normal operating radiation, vibration, temperature, and humidity environment.
FSAR, Amendment 100, page 7.6-5 states, The DMIMS-DX' audio and visual alarm capability will remain functional after an Operating Basis Earthquake (OBE). All of the DMIMS-DX' components are qualified for structural integrity during a Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE) and will not mechanically impact any safety-related equipment.
Paragraphs 4.c and 4.d of the system description are not consistent with the seismic qualifications described in the FSAR. TVA to provide the source of the information contained in the FSAR and update the system description as needed.
