SUMMARY

OF SEPTEMBER 19, 2012, TELECONFERENCE MEETING WITH PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY ON DIGITAL REPLACEMENT OF THE PROCESS PROTECTION SYSTEM PORTION OF THE REACTOR TRIP SYSTEM AND ENGINEERED SAFETY FEATURES ACTUATION SYSTEM AT DIABLO CANYON POWER PLANT (TAC NOS. ME7522 AND ME7523)

On September 19, 2012, a Category 1 teleconference public meeting was held between the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and representatives of Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E, the licensee) at NRC Headquarters, One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville, Maryland. The purpose of the teleconference meeting was to discuss the license amendment request (LAR) submitted by PG&E on October 26, 2011, for the Digital Replacement of the Process Protection System (PPS) Portion of the Reactor Trip System and Engineered Safety Features Actuation System at Diablo Canyon Power Plant, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML113070457). A list of attendees is provided in Enclosure 1.

The teleconference meeting is one in a series of publicly noticed teleconference meetings to be held periodically to discuss issues associated with the NRC staff's LAR review. Preliminary issues that the NRC staff identified during the initial review, and the licensee's responses to these preliminary issues, were discussed during the teleconference meeting. The list of preliminary issues is provided in Enclosure 2.

The NRC staff and licensee confirmed that the next meeting on this topic would be held on October 17, 2012. Highlights from the meeting include the following:

  • The NRC staff and PG&E discussed the cyber security review and question 52 of Enclosure 2. It was agreed that the response to question 52 would not be amended by PG&E and any follow-up concerns related to this question would be addressed during an audit. The audit plan, which the staff will issue publicly prior to conducting the audit, will reflect issues that the staff would like to discuss in this area.
  • The NRC staff indicated that it was in the process of finalizing the audit plan for an audit of Invensys Operations Management facilities in Lake Forest, California.

The staff and PG&E indicated that the audit was tentatively scheduled for the November 2012 time frame. If the audit is to include cyber security discussion pursuant the discussion above, the audit plan will reflect this expectation.

  • The NRC staff and PG&E discussed the information found in Enclosure 3, associated with Eagle 21 Technical Specification (TS) applicability to the replacement PPS. The issue is whether or not a justification for the applicability of the Eagle 21 TSs needs to be developed for the replacement PPS. There was agreement that such a justification is needed and that it will be reviewed by the staff as part of its review of the LAR. The staff took an action to add a new open item to the open item tracking table to track the issue.
  • The NRC staff and PG&E discussed several of PG&E's proposed responses found in Enclosure 2. Based on interactions during the meeting, PG&E took an action to modify some of the responses to address issues that the staff identified.

PG&E will provide the revised response to the staff prior to the next meeting.

The revised responses and any new issues identified by the staff will be updated in the master open item tracking table and will be discussed at the next public meeting tentatively scheduled for October 17, 2012.

These project documents are preceded by document number 993754. The Phase 1 submittal under Invensys Project Letter 993754-026T, dated October 26, 2011, contained, in part, the following:

PPS Replacement Project Management Plan (PMP), 993754-1-905.

"Project Management Plan" was used to more closely match BTP 7-14 with regard to "management plans"; and PPS Replacement Software Verification and Validation Plan (SWP),

993754-1-802.

The PMP describes the PPS Replacement Project management activities within the Invensys scope of supply. The guidance documents BTP 7-14 and NUREG/CR-6101 were used as input during development of the PMP.

With regard to compliance with RG 1.168, the PPS Replacement PMP and SWP both describe the organizational structure and interfaces of the PPS Replacement Project. The documents describe the Nuclear Delivery (NO) design team structure and responsibilities, the Nuclear Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) team structure and responsibilities. the

35 RA Follow up of Item 21 - Software Test Plan OPEN In the response provided for Item 21, PG&E explained that a new revision (Rev. 1) of ALS document No. 6116-00005 was provided. The scope of Revision 1 is slightly different from the scope described in Rev. O. For example, Section 1.2 in both revisions states that test coverage includes all ALS modules, backplane, license sense modules (LSM), and ALS service unit (ATU). However Section 2, Test Items, for these revisions are different.

Revision 1 only focuses on ALS-1 02 and backplane assemblies. This section does not include other ALS modules, LSM and ATU. Please explain why these other ALS modules are not included in section 2 of the new revision.

Further, Table 1-2 identifies "Diablo Canyon PPS Test Plan" as document No. 6116-00005, which is the same number than "Diablo Canyon PPS System Test Plan". Please clarify if this is referring to a different document.

PG&E Response: The scope of both revisions are the same. Revision 1 changes added more detail into the overall scope. The details are broken down into 2 main parts: 1- The individual components, 2 - The System components. Both parts equal the entire ALS based Diablo Canyon system which includes all ALS modules, Backplane, ASU (incorrectly stated as ATU in the open item), LSM, ALS-102A1B specific to Diablo and full ALS sub system test which includes the testing of ALS slave cards required by the DCPP configuration.

The entry in Table 1-2 for the Diablo Canyon PPS Test Plan, 6116-00005 is the same document as Diablo Canyon PPS System Test Plan 6116-00005.

36 RA Software Test Plan OPEN Section 5.3.6 of ALS Document No. 6116-00005 refers to a "Test Team" to perform system level testing. However, the "Test Team" is not defined in ALS Document No. 6116-00000, "Diablo Canyon PPS Management Plan,"

which defines roles and responsibilities for the PPS Replacement Project.

Please clarify who is the Test Team and where their roles and responsibilities are defined.

PG&E Response: The Test team and its responsibilities are described in the ALS Test Plan, 6116-00005 . The management plan describes the role of the IW manager. The test team falls under the responsibility of the IW manager. The DCPP PPS V&V Plan, 6116-00003 will be revised to explain that the test team is part of the IV&V team reporting to the IW manager.

This plan will be released by 30 September 2012.

37 RA Software Management Plan OPEN PG&E "PPS Replacement Concept, Requirements, and Licensing Phase 1 Project Plan" does not address reporting mechanisms and controlling changes to the system. The only reference is that PG&E states that they will follow the activities describe before for software modifications. After reviewing the of PG&E's SyWP, we found that Section 6 states that Anomaly Resolution and Reporting shall be performed per the respective PG&E and 10CFR 50 Appendix 8 supplier control procedures. However, this statement does not identify the document to follow to report anomalies.

Please identify and describe the process that PG&E will follow for reporting mechanisms.

PG&E Response: PG&E administrative procedure OM7.ID1, "Problem Identification and Resolution," provides guidance for identification and resolution of both equipment and non-equipment problems, including vendor software problems.

This procedure applies to plant problems, including software anomalies, and provides a list of regulatory reporting requirements applicable to the DCPP, including those contained in the NRC regulations (including 10 CFR), the plant operating license (including associated Technical Specifications), license amendments, and regulatory correspondence. The procedure summarizes the types of reporting requirements and references the source of the requirement, time-frame for reporting, reporting method, lead responsible organization, primary regulatory agency recipient, and implementing procedures.

38 RA Software Management Plan OPEN Section 2 of the PG&E "PPS Replacement Concept, Requirements, and Licensing Phase 1 Project Plan" does not describe the activities to be performed by the Engineering of Choice Design Change Package Team.

It is also not clear what the roles and responsibilities of this team are.

Please clarify and provide the applicable PG&E control document that describes PG&E roles and responsibilities specifically for the Engineering of Choice Design Change Package Team.

PG&E Response:

09/17/2012: Altran developed the PPS Replacement FRS during the Concept phase in accordance with Altran EOP 5.4, and verified it in accordance with Altran EOP 3.4. Altran used PG&E procedure CF3.ID16 for additional guidance. PG&E accepted the FRS under CF3.ID17, which constituted verification of system requirements. This was a design activity rather than a V&V activity and there is no specific V&V product for this phase.

44 RA Software V&V OPEN Invensys prepared Document No. 993754-1-813, "DCPP PPS Validation Test Plan". It states that the Test Review Board and PG&E will review all validation testing documents.

PG&E Response: IN PROGESS 48 RA Software V&V OPEN PG&E SyWP, Section 6, requires that anomalies detected are identified, documented, and resolved during the V&V activities. This section states that anomaly reporting and resolution requirements are defined in the respective PG&E control procedures. Section 2 "Control Procedures does not include a reference for an anomaly reporting procedure. Please identify the PG&E control procedure used for anomaly reporting.

Further, Section 7 of the SyWP states that the PG&E authority responsible for approving deviations from SyWP is the PG&E Project Manager, who will document his/her approval a Change Notice or equivalent formal PG&E document. Please identify where the responsible PG&E authority will docum~nt its approval.

PG&E Response:

1. The PG&E control procedure for anomaly reporting is OM7.ID1, "Problem Identification and Resolution." This procedure governs the PPS replacement after it has been turned over to PG&E by the suppliers. The suppliers' anomaly reporting procedures are applicable prior to this turnover.
2.

b. NVRAM Configuration ALS 110 boards are generic; that is, each board is configured using its NVRAM for the specific function it is to perform. This activity is described in SCM 36-01 Section 1.2.8, which states that the configuration of the NVRAM is changed by removing the subject board from the ALS chassis and inserting it into a special test fixture. This would be performed as part of a maintenance activity, such as replacing a failed board. If the functionality of an 110 board required modification as a result of an application change, all required NVRAM configuration alterations would be performed by CS Innovations under their ALS Configuration Management Plan.

As with the ALS-102 FPGA discussed above, PG&E will not have the capability to alter the NVRAM configuration itself. PGE capability to change the NVRAM configuration for a specific 110 board will be limited to loading NVRAM images that are under CS Innovations configuration control and that have been previously verified and validated at the system level by CS Innovations.

Configuring the NVRAM in order to replace an 110 board will be performed by PG&E under an approved plant maintenance procedure.

The Gyber Security program manager and other members of the GSAT (Gyber Security Assessment team) met with the Process Protection System (PPS) Upgrade design engineer beginning in 2011. Many options were discussed.

The Gyber Security program manager and project manager have met with the procurement group to discuss cyber security principles that should be written into the procurement procedures, and what steps will help to ensure a secure supply chain.

The Gyber Security Assessment Team (GSAT) was formed in accordance with section 3.1.2 of the cyber security plan, and Milestone a, on 10/31/2011. A list of critical digital systems and assets was created in accordance with section 3.1.3 of the cyber security plan and Milestone b on 10/31/2011. The GSAT looked at scheduled digital upgrades, and added the future equipm~nt to the list of critical digital systems. The GSAT determined the PPS equipment will be a critical system, with several GDAs.

From July 9-12 2012, the cyber security project manager accompanied members of the Quality Verification group to examine the design and production facilities of Invensys, and examined the code production practices and the development environment, and determined that Invensys has an SDE, and ensures their employees are reliable and trustworthy.

Activities planned for the future.

In December of 2012, the network that the PPS will eventually reside on will

Thus many network attacks, including many that depend on a back door created by a vendor, will not be possible.

Also by December of 2012, DCPP will have taken steps to lessen the likelihood of an attack initiated by a portable electronic device, or portable media such as a thumb drive per Milestone d, and section D 1.19 of NEI 08

09. This will mitigate portable media based attacks that depend on a back door created by a vendor.

The DCPP Cyber Security Team will interface with NUPIC (Nuclear Procurement Issues Committee) and the NEIINITSL counterfeit parts task force to address digital equipment supply chain security.

The Cyber Security Implementation Project Manager has developed a detailed project plan, with several tasks and schedules. Several existing plant procedures will be revised. The PPS will inherit the controls implemented by these procedures. Many of the procedures will have been changed/created before the PPS is installed.

The CSAT is collecting design information as it becomes available. The collected design documentation is being reviewed as it is collected. The collected documentation will be reviewed in a formal desktop evaluation per the cyber security plan, section 3.1.5 prior to the PPS installation. The test set up in the offsite test lab near the plant will be visited on occasion by the CSAT, the system will be walked down repeatedly during installation, and the final walkdown will be performed when the system is ready to return to operations, per section 3.1.5 of the security plan.

"Hardwired logic" as used here refers to circuitry that physically interrupts the flow of information, such as an electronic AND gate circuit (that does not use software or firmware) with one input controlled by the hardware switch and the other connected to the information source: the information appears at the output of the gate only when the switch is in a position that applies a TRUE or "1" at the input to which it is connected. Provisions that rely on software to effect the disconnection are not acceptable. It is noted that software may be used in the safety system or in the workstation to accommodate the effects of the open circuit or for status logging or other purposes) that demonstrate how this hardwired switch disconnects the ALS maintenance workstation from the ALS safety processor.

r-pG&E Response: For the ALS subsystem, instead of using a hardwire keyswitch, the ALS subsystem will be administratively controlled by physically disconnecting the communication link to the ALS MWS computer when the Test ALS Bus (TAB) is not being used for surveillance testing, maintenance, and trouble-shooting. This is a PPS replacement design change described in the response to NRC request for additional information in PG&E Letter DCL-12-083 and will be included in a sup~lement to LAR 11-07.

58 RJS Open ALS FMEA - There are several failure modes identified in Table 4-4 of the New FMEA where the System Effects entry provides a description of functions that are not affected by the failure mode instead of stating what the effects of the failure mode are. For example, the System Effects in the ETT failure in line 5b of table 4-4 are that the Alarm Function remains operational.

Though this may be the case, it does not state what the effects of the failure mode are. Examples of this can be found in lines 5b, 6a, 6b, 7a, 9h, 9i, 11 b, 11c, and 11d.

September 18, 2012 DCPP PPS Open Item Summary Table Open Items Related to Software Configuration Management Plan

1) Configuration process a) In open item 4, the staff requested description of the software configuration management activities for configurable boards (e.g., ALS FPGA-102 board). Since the ALS FPGA-102 board is customer specific, its configuration management activities are not covered by "ALS Configuration Management Plan."

Even though item 4 is closed, this request was not addressed in the response for item 4.

b) The PG&E SCM 36-01, item 1.2.8, states that ALS board has two sets of NVRAM. Further, it explains that the configuration of the NVRAM can be changed only by removing the subject board from the ALS chassis and inserting it into a special test fixture. It is not clear who will control this process and configuration of the NVRAM. Please explain.

c) Section 1.2 of the Invensys Document No. 993754-1-909, "Software Configuration Management Plan,"

states that this plan controls operating system of the computers used to run TriStation 1131 and the signal simulation software used for testing purpose. However, the description provided throughout the plan only focuses on the configuration activities for the TSAP (e.g., Section 2.3 states that the SCM procedures are for the TSAP). Further, this same section (later on) identifies the software configuration to be managed, and this list does not include operating system of the computers used to run TriStation 1131 and the signal simulation software used for testing purpose. Please clarify the scope of this plan.

2) Organization a) The organization and responsibilities described in Section 4 of CF2.ID2 is not consistent with the information presented in Section 2 of SCMP 36-01. For example, Section 2 of SCMP 36-01 identifies system coordinator, application sponsor, and system team, who are not identified in Section 4 of Cf2.ID2. Further these descriptions are not identified in the project organization described in PG&E PPS Replacement Plan (Attachment 3 of the LAR). Please clarify the roles and responsibilities for SCM, and provide a cross reference of the PG&E organizations described in these documents.
3) Changes and Problems Identification a) PG&E SCMP36-01 states that software, hardware, and configuration problems are reported in accordance with PG&E OM7.ID1 and that software and/or configuration problems are reported via a PROG PDCM Notification. Please clarify when and how these are used. For example, for software problems does one have to report the problem using both PG&E OM7.ID1 and PROG PDCM Notification. Note that PG&E CF2.ID2 states that all problems associated with plant computer system should be reported and document per OM7.ID1 (See section 5.11 and 5.16.10 (b) of CF2.ID2)

Further, Section 3.2.1 states that all PPS modifications should be initiated and tracked per plant procedures or CF4.ID1. Section 3.2.2 states that the implementation of the change is documented in the associated Change Package and a SAP notification and order. And Section 3.2.10 states that all identified problems and corrective actions using a notification, which is not specified.

So should .software modifications require reporting and tracking using OM7.ID1, CF4.ID1, PROG PDCM Notification, Change Package, and SAP Order?

Please explain PG&E procedures for different changes and the documenting and tracking system used for all types of modification.

b) Please clarify the means to track changes. Section 3.2.4.7 of the SCM 36-01 states that this is done using a SAP order, but Section 3.2.4.7 states that Change Package and SAP order are entered in the

September 18, 2012 DCPP PPS Open Item Summary Table Record Management System, and Section 3.3 describes a Configuration Status Account which is I used to track changes of configuration items.

4) Document Repository a) SCM 36-01, Section 2.3.3 identifies the Digital Systems Engineering SourceSafe as the repository, but Section 3.2.5.5 identifies http://dcpp142Iidmws/home/asp, and Section 3.29 states that the files necessary for recovery of the baseline are maintained in the PPS database in SC-I-36M, Eagle 21 Tunable Constants." It is not clear if these two sections are referring to the same document reporsitory or if it is the same. Please clarify b) PG&E has implemented restrictions to access files and documents associated with PPS replacement project. Further, PG&E requires user authentication and access to edit configuration, software, and data. It is not clear if these restrictions apply for access to the Digital Systems Engineering SourceSafe or the repository in http://dcpp142/idmws/home/asp.

Approach to Justify the Applicability of WCAP-14333 and WCAP-15376 Technical Specification Changes to the Triconex/AlS System at Diablo Canyon Issue: The Technical Specification changes to the process protection system justified in WCAP-14333 and WCAP-15376, and approved by the NRC, apply only to currently operating process protection systems (7100, 7300, Eagle 21). A justification for the applicability of these changes to the Triconex/ALS system needs to be developed.

Background:

WCAP-10271-P-A; WCAP-10271, Supplement 1-P-A; WCAP-10271-P-A, Supplement 2, Rev. 1; WCAP-14333-P-A, Rev. 1; and WCAP-15376-P-A, Rev. 1 (References 1-5) provide the justification for extending completion times, bypass test times, and surveillance test intervals for components in the reactor protection system. The reactor protection system components include the analog channels, logic cabinets, master and slave relays, and reactor trip breakers. The analysis supporting these changes is based on the Westinghouse 7300 process protection system. A justification was previously developed that extended the applicability of these changes to the Westinghouse Eagle 21 Process Protection System.

The NRC's Safety Evaluation associated with WCAP-15376 specifically stated "For future digital upgrades with increased scope, integration and architectural differences beyond that of Eagle 21, the staff finds the generic applicability of WCAP-15376-P, Rev. 0 to future digital systems not clear and should be considered on a plant-specific basis." Based on this statement, it is concluded that the applicability of the TS changes justified in WCAP-15376-P-A, Rev. 1 to digital systems other than Eagle 21 needs to be justified. Similar statements are not included in the NRC's Safety Evaluations for WCAP-10271-P-A with Supplements 1 and 2 or for WCAP-14333-P-A, Rev. 1, but it would be prudent to provide such a justification to cover all the changes justified in these WCAPs.

Approach to Justification: A qualitative approach will be used to assess the applicability of the WCAP changes to the Triconex/ALS system. This assessment will involve a comparison of the Triconex/ALS system to the Eagle 21 system. The idea is to demonstrate qualitatively, based on system design, signal development, backup systems, etc., that the Triconex/ALS system is equal to or better than Eagle 21 with regard to the reliability of protection signal development. Since the WCAP changes are applicable to the Eagle 21 system, and if the Triconex/ALS system is equivalent to or better than the Eagle 21 system, then the WCAP changes should be applicable. This assessment will include a detailed review of the Triconex/ALS and Eagle 21 system designs with regard to structure and architectural differences, protection signals, common cause failures, and self-check features, and will include, as necessary, available failure modes and effects analyses and reliability assessments.

  • The NRC staff and PG&E discussed the information found in Enclosure 3, associated with Eagle 21 Technical Specification (TS) applicability to the replacement PPS. The issue is whether or not a justification for the applicability of the Eagle 21 TSs needs to be developed for the replacement PPS. There was agreement that such a justification is needed and that it will be reviewed by the staff as part of its review of the LAR. The staff took an action to add a new open item to the open item tracking table to track the issue.
  • The NRC staff and PG&E discussed several of PG&E's proposed responses found in Enclosure 2. Based on interactions during the meeting, PG&E took an action to modify some of the responses to address issues that the staff identified.

PG&E will provide the revised response to the staff prior to the next meeting.

The revised responses and any new issues identified by the staff will be updated in the master open item tracking table and will be discussed at the next public meeting tentatively scheduled for October 17, 2012.
