Box 12157 Austin, Texas 78711-2332 to TXX-12162 Page 1 of 2 RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR RELIEF REQUEST NUMBER E-1 FOR THE UNITS 1 AND 2 SECOND 10 YEAR IWE INTERVAL (SECOND INTERVAL END DATE: SEPTEMBER 9,2011) (TAC NOS. ME9261 AND ME9262)
The following questions were provided to Luminant Power in the email dated October 22, 2012, from Balwant Singal of the NRC to Timothy Hope of Luminant Power (reference 2) requesting additional information regarding Relief Request No. E-1:
NRC Question 1:
Section 4 of your application for RR E-1 stated that the surfaces of 20 electrical penetrations are covered with radiant energy shielding material. Section 6 of your application stated that the carbon steel containment liner, mechanical penetrations and the remaining stainless steel electrical penetrations (66 in CPNPP, Unit 1 and 64 in CPNPP, Unit 2) have all been examined each period during the second interval without any degradation or corrosion identified.
Please provide clarification that RR E-1 pertains to the visual examination of electrical penetration stainless steel assemblies and confirm that the containment liner in the local area of those electrical penetrations included in RR E-1 (total of 20 penetrations, 9 in CPNPP, Unit 1 and 11 in CPNPP, Unit 2) have been examined and no degradation or corrosion have been identified.
Luminant Power's Response to Question 1:
Relief Request E-1 pertains to the visual examination of 20 stainless steel electrical penetration assemblies covered with radiant energy shielding material that were not visually examined each period (3) during the second interval. The local areas of the containment liner around the 20 unexamined electrical penetrations were visually examined each period during the second interval, with no degradation or corrosion identified to the liner.
NRC Question 2:
Please provide the results of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 50, Appendix J containment integrated leak rate test (Type A) and their comparison with the allowable leakage rate specified in the plant Technical Specifications (TSs).
Luminant Power's Response to Question 2:
Reference T.S. 5.5.16.c & 5.5.16.d.1 & T.S. Bases 3.6.1:
Allowable leakage rate (La) of 0.1% of containment air weight per day.
The As-found Type A test surveillance acceptance criteria is leakage rate less than or equal to 1.0 La. In addition the As-left Type A test surveillance acceptance criteria is leakage rate less than or equal to 0.75 La prior to entering the mode in which containment operability is required (Mode 4).
Unit 1Type A test results performed in April 2007:
The As-found leakage rate was 0.063019% weight per day which met the As-found surveillance criteria of 0.1% weight per day.
The As-left leakage rate was 0.0630% weight per day which met the As-left surveillance criteria of 0.075% weight per day.

Unit 2 Type A test results performed in October 2012:
The As-found leakage rate was 0.0595% weight per day which met the As-found surveillance criteria of 0.1% weight per day.
The As-left leakage rate was 0.0594% weight per day which met the As-left surveillance criteria of 0.075% weight per day.
NRC Question 3:
Please provide the results of Type B leakage test of those electrical penetrations included in RR E-1 (total of 20 penetrations, 9 in CPNPP, Unit 1 and 11 in CPNPP, Unit 2) and discuss the acceptability of leakage test results and the performance history of Type B leakage testing of these electrical penetrations.
Luminant Power's Response to Question 3:
The electrical penetrations are tested in groupings by elevation. The electrical penetrations in question are part of the overall groupings categorized as follows:
Unit 1:
852-ELEC-PEN includes E-0006, E-0009, E-0016, & E-0018 832-ELEC-PEN includes E-0029, E-0039, & E-0040 810-ELEC-PEN includes E-0056 & E-0060 Unit 2:
2-852-ELEC-PEN includes 2-E-0006, 2-E-0009, 2-E-0015, 2-E-0016, & 2-E-0018 2-832-ELEC-PEN includes 2-E-0039, 2-E-0040, & 2-E-0045 2-810-ELEC-PEN includes 2-E-0056, 2-E-0060, & 2-E-0066 See Attachment 2 for the Local Leak Rate (Type B) Results for each grouping. There have been no previous failures for these penetrations for Unit 1 or Unit 2. The results listed in Attachment 2 are in standard cubic centimeters per minute (sccm). The administrative limit for each test is 100 sccm.
However, the Unit 1 tests performed in 1991 had an administrative limit of 25 sccm. The two tests that exceeded 25 sccm had a technical evaluation performed which documented the acceptability of the test results via Technical Evaluation (TE) 91-2683.
