WCAP process was acceptable. RSEDs are listed in the SDD References.
TVA Response:
Section 3.2.4.1 of WCAP-15927 describes the RSED design process for custom PC elements and type circuits. The Glossary of Terms in the SPM defines custom PC elements and type circuits as modules.
Therefore, the relationship between WCAP-15927 describing the RSED process as circuits, is defined in the SPM requirements for software module development.
WCAP-15927 is on the AP1000 docket.

Changes are made in a non-production environment, and validation testing takes place before the change is installed on the ICS when possible.
Once validation testing begins, the source code is placed under configuration control.
When the modifications are installed on the ICS, an operability test is performed to demonstrate that the software is installed correctly and is functioning correctly in its operating environment.
Documentation related to ICS software changes are QA records.
The software source code is kept in a physically secure, environmentally controlled space to prevent inadvertent changes.
Cyber security considerations are also considered in the storage environment.
The data goes through several validation steps before being presented to the operators.
When redundant sensors are used, the data received by the computer can be processed by software to determine if the quality of one or more points is questionable.
The hardware involved in the TSC and NDL functionality is verified to be operable on a periodic basis.
In the case of the NDL functionality, the ICS transmits the required data to the CECC on a continuous basis. The CECC monitors the status of the ICS data communications and alarms are generated when the link is not active. The Emergency Plan (EP) staff conducts a quarterly test that verifies that NDL data is successfully transmitted from each unit to the NRC.

The WBN2 FSAR (Amendment 103) references RG 1.153 Rev. 0, Criteria for Safety Systems. The Common Q PAMS is designed to meet the requirements of RG 1.153 Rev. 1. By letter dated February 25, 2010 (ML110620219), TVA stated:
The subject Regulatory Guides [RG 1.153 Rev. 0 & 1]
endorse and reference other standards. Common Q PAMS has been evaluated to comply with the requirements of these other endorsed standards ([Comparison report in this letter titled IEEE-279-1971 to IEEE-603-1991 Comparison]).
Therefore no additional analysis needs to be performed and no further action is necessary.
However, the Comparison report in this letter titled IEEE-279-1971 to IEEE-603-1991 Comparison, stated:
The first of the two standards, IEEE-279, is part of the design basis of WBN2 but is not relevant to Common Q PAMS. The second standard, IEEE-603-1991 is not part of the design basis for the Common Q PAMS forWBN2.
Based on the reasoning quoted above, WBN2 did not evaluate the Common Q PAMS against the criteria of RG 1.153 Rev. 1; therefore, the staff finds the following open item (see also Open Items No. 1 & 2 above.):

The WBN2 FSAR (Amendment 103) references RG 1.152 Rev. 0, Criteria for Digital Computers in Safety Systems of Nuclear Power Plants. The Common Q PAMS was designed to meet the EICB (Carte) requirements of RG 1.152 Rev. 1. RG 1.152 Rev. 2 is the current revision of this guide and is endorsed by the NRC. By letter dated February 25, 2010 (ML110620219), TVA stated:
RG 1.152 rev 2 endorses ANSI/IEEE-ANS-7-4.3.2-2003, but also provides extra regulatory guidance concerning computer based cyber security. Since this revision was not part of the design basis of WBN2 or Common Q PAMS, the project makes no commitment to the compliance of RG 1.152 rev 2.

The behavior of the measured peaking factor uncertainties as a function of the incore detector variability and composite random detector loss levels are shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 of Addendum 1 to WCAP-12472-P-A for a representative plant. It is seen that the higher the SPD measurement variability and fraction of inoperable detector are, the higher the peaking factor measurement uncertainty becomes.
In most cases, the upper bound of the SPD measurement variability and fraction will be determined for a specified peaking factor measurement uncertainty. Alternatively, the BEACON methodology can be used to support an existing or requested availability requirement for a specific plant.

- 10. The CETs are included in the IITA at Unit 2. This means that the Unit 2 CETs are physically located in different areas (radically and axially) than the Unit 1 thermocouples. In other words, this statement points out that a direct comparison of CET readings from Unit 1 and Unit 2 will be of little value. The Unit 2 CETs are located at the top of the active fuel inside the fuel assembly instrument thimble, instead of at the bottom of the upper core plate, so differences in temperature are to be expected between the units.
Please note that these differences have been specifically considered in the applicable post-accident monitoring procedures.
- 11. The attached documents provide the assessment of potential interactions between the core exit thermocouples and the self powered detectors of the AP1000 Incore Instrumentation System. Note that APP-IIS-J0R-002 (ML102390521) is a non-proprietary version of APP-IIS-J0R-001.
- 12. To clarify, page 129 states that the WINCISE system shall support two divisions of CET with a minimum of three thermocouples provided in each core quadrant for each division. In other words, there are at least three thermocouples per train per quadrant, or a minimum of six thermocouples per quadrant.
- 13. The IIS software functions are non-safety-related and have no impact on any safety function. Therefore software common mode failure analysis is not required.

The responsible engineers agreed that the WINCISE change package (EDCR 52321) would address everything except the CETs and that the Common Q PAMS change package (EDCR 52351) would address the changes related to the CETS. As previously committed, the Common Q PAMS EDCR 52351-B will be submitted after the package is issued.
Currently the package is scheduled to be issued May 12, 2011.

In the NRC Safety Evaluation Report for WCAP-12472-P-A, the NRC staff evaluated the BEACON methodology, the uncertainty analysis, and the operation of the overall system and concluded that BEACON is acceptable for performing core monitoring and operations support functions for Westinghouse PWRs but subject to certain conditions as specified in

- 1. In the cycle-specific application of BEACON, the power peaking uncertainties UH and UQ must provide 95% probability upper tolerance limits at the 95% confidence level.
Although not specifically described in this submittal, cycle-specific BEACON calibrations performed before startup and at beginning-of-cycle conditions will ensure that power peaking uncertainties provide 95% probability upper tolerance limits at the 95% confidence level.
These calibrations are to be performed using the Westinghouse approved methodology. Until these calibrations are complete, more conservative default uncertainties will be applied. The calibrations will be documented and retained as records.
More specifically, the NRC approved Addendum 1-A to WCAP-12472-P-A extended the previously licensed BEACON power distribution monitoring methodology to plants containing fixed incore self-powered detectors. Addendum 1-A also describes the methodology used to assess uncertainties to be applied to the measured power distribution.
The NRC approved Addendum 2-A to WCAP-12472-P-A further incorporates the use of Vanadium fixed incore non-depleting self-powered detectors.
As described in the original WCAP-12472-P-A, the power distribution uncertainty is shown to be a function of detector measurement variability and the number and layout of the available detectors.
The BEACON uncertainty is statistically simulated using a randomly selected set of available detectors and detector variability. The resultant bounding 95/95 upper tolerance limits on assembly and peak node power are expressed as polynomial fits as a function of detector measurement variability and the number and layout of the available detectors. The total uncertainty is obtained by statistically convoluting the uncertainty components. As such, the cycle-specific power peaking uncertainties provide 95/95 tolerance limits provided the BEACON calibrations are performed in accordance with the Westinghouse approved methodology.
- 2. In order to ensure that the assumptions made in the BEACON uncertainty analysis remain valid, the generic uncertainty components may require reevaluation when BEACON is applied to plant or core designs that differ sufficiently to have a significant impact on the WCAP-12472-P-A

WBN utilizes a Westinghouse 4-loop nuclear steam supply system (NSSS) and all fuel is presently of Westinghouse manufacture. WBN Unit 2 will utilize fixed incore instrumentation with Vanadium self-powered detectors. As described above, WCAP-12472-P-A Addendums 1-A and 2-A extend the BEACON methodology to the use of these fixed incore detectors.
Furthermore, WBN Unit 2 does not currently utilize TPBARs in the core design, which is consistent with the plant and core designs used in the WCAP-12472-P-A database.
During the review of the Westinghouse topical report WCAP-12472-P-A, the NRC requested additional information on how BEACON treats core loadings with fuel designs from multiple fuel vendors and the impact to the BEACON uncertainty analysis. Westinghouse responded that for all BEACON applications, the previous operating cycle is examined to establish reference uncertainties. This examination accounts for loading of fuel supplied by multiple vendors by comparing a BEACON model to actual operating data over the cycle. The initial flux mapping at the start of the cycle ensures model calibration factors that reflect the actual fuel in the reactor before the PDMS system is declared operable.
- 3. The BEACON Technical Specifications should be revised to include the changes described in Section 3 [of the BNL TER] concerning Specifications 3.1.3.1 and 3.1.3.2 and the Core Operating Limits Report.
WCAP-12472-P-A described an application of BEACON (i.e. BEACON-DMM) where the core operating limits are changed. As noted previously, TVA is proposing only to use BEACON as a core TS monitor for conformance to WBNs existing limits (i.e. BEACONTSM). The recommended changes to Specifications 3.1.3.1 and 3.1.3.2 and the COLR mentioned above apply to the BEACON-DMM application and not to the BEACON-TSM application of BEACON. Therefore, the issue addressed by this condition is not applicable to this license amendment requested.

Event recovery actions are those manual actions taken to mitigate a design basis accident to a stabilized condition. The plant can be considered stabilized when the plant parameters vary slowly and automatic systems are not being initiated. The diagnostic process consciously performed by the operator via the plant variables to interpret an event indication will be considered as a safety-related operator action regardless of the lack of manual manipulation of equipment.
