Southern Nuclear Operating Company Response to the Request for Additional Information Regarding Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation (Order Number EA-12-0S1) to NL-13-1865 SNC Response to Request for Additional Information 2.0 LEVELS OF REQUIRED MONITORING The OIP states, in part, that Level 1 - Level adequate to support operation of the normal fuel pool cooling system. The low level alarm setpoint is Elevation 225'-9" [225 feet, 9 inches] for Unit 1, Elevation 226'-2.5" for Unit 2, which is above the elevation where the pumps lose suction from a low level in the skimmer surge tank (Engineering Central File (ECF) application of the Plant Data Management System (PDMS) for instruments IG41 N372 and 2G41 N372).
Level 2 - Level adequate to provide sUbstantial radiation shielding for a person standing on the spent fuel pool operating deck. For Unit 1 and 2, it is elevation 214'-0" approximately 10'-0" above (elevation 204'-0" is the nominal level of the highest fuel rack) the highest point of the fuel racks (plus or minus 1 foot) (Unit 2*
FSAR Sections 9.1.2.2.2b and 9.1.3.2.5, Reference 10; Drawing H26105, Reference 11)
Level 3 - Level where fuel remains covered. For Unit 1 and 2, it is Elevation 204'-0", which is the nominal level of the highest fuel rack (Unit 2 FSAR Section 9.1.2.2.2b, Reference 10; Drawing H2610S, Reference 11).
NRC RAI-1 Please provide the following:
a)
For Level 1, specify how the identified elevation represents the HIGHER of the two points described in the NEI 12-02 guidance for this level.
b)
A clearly labeled sketch depicting the elevation view of the proposed typical mounting arrangement for the portions of instrument channel consisting of permanent measurement channel equipment (e.g., fixed level sensors and/or stilling wells, and mounting brackets). Indicate on this sketch the datum values representing Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 as well as the top of the fuel racks. Indicate on this sketch the portion of the level sensor measurement range that is sensitive to measurement of the fuel pool level, with respect to the Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 datum points.
SNC Response to RAI-1 a)
For compliance with NRC Order EA-12-051 for SFP Level indications, SNC selected Level 1 based on a specific basis as stated in the OIP of February 27,2013. Level 1 is selected as the current low level system alarm set point for Plant Hatch at elevation 225'-9" for Unit 1 and 226'-2.5" for Unit 2, which is higher than the elevation of the Fuel Pool Cooling (FPC) System Skimmer Surge Tank low level alarm of 222'-0". These surge tanks supply the FPC pumps for both units. HNP selected Level 1 elevation meets Order EA-12 051 Level 1 criteria and not necessarily the criteria established in ISG-JLD-12-03, which endorsed NEI 12-02.
E1 - 1 to NL-13-1865 SNC Response to Request for Additional Information SNC Response to RAI-1b) provides a sketch that depicts an elevation view of the Unit 1 and 2 SFP. The sketch depicts the datum values representing Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. Per NEI 12-02, Level 3 corresponds nominally (i.e., +/- 1 foot) to the highest point of any rack seated in the spent fuel pool. The level sensor sensitive measurement range and mounting arrangement will be provided in the February 2015 Overall Integrated Plan 6 month update.
3.0 INSTRUMENTATION DESIGN FEATURES 3.2 Arrangement The alP states, in part, that Design of the instruments will be consistent with the guidelines of NRC JLD-ISG 2012-03 and NEI 12-02 with the exceptions and clarifications as detailed below.
- Primary and backup instrument channels will consist of fixed components.
- The plan is for both channels to utilize Guided Wave Radar, which functions according to the principle of Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR).
A generated pulse of electromagnetic energy travels down the probe.
Upon reaching the liquid surface the pulse is reflected and based upon reflection times, level is inferred.
- The measured range will be continuous from the high pool level elevation (227'-5") to the top of the spent fuel racks at elevation (204')
(Reference 10).
- Instrument channel level sensing components (probe) will be located in the SFP directly adjacent to the spent fuel. The electronics processing module will be capable of being located in a non-harsh environment area outside the SFP area.
- The display shall provide a continuous indication of spent fuel pool water level at the Display location. In the event the link to the Display is lost, a field accessible signal/indication (remote to the Display location) will be available for determination of pool level.
- The electronic processing module and the Display will be installed in a location that will meet the criteria established in NEI 12-02 and endorsed by NRC JLD-ISG-2012-03. The specific location of the electronic processing module and the Display has not been determined yet.
E1 - 2 to NL-13-1865 SNC Response to Request for Additional Information NRC RAI-2 Please modify the sketch in Attachment 1 or provide a clearly labeled sketch or marked-up plant drawing of the plan view of the SFP area, depicting the SFP inside dimensions, the planned locations/placement of the primary and back-up SFP level sensors, and the proposed routing of the cables that will extend from the sensors toward the location of the local electronics cabinets and read-ouUdisplay devices in the main control room or alternate accessible location.
SNC Response to RAI-2 depicts sections of marked up plant drawings H-15600 and H-25571. This enclosure shows a plan view of the SFP area of each unit. The drawings show inside dimensions (Unit 1: 40 feet long by 33 feet wide (nominal); Unit 2: 40 feet long by 28.5 feet wide (nominal)) for the SFPs and the anticipated areas for locating level sensors. There is no designated primary or backup sensor as both serve an equal purpose. The routing of the instrument cables from the sensors to the display device will be determined after a location for the display unit has been finalized. The probe, mount, and cable, will not be accessible when the SFP area is not accessible. The electronics package and display will be accessible and habitable via non-heroic means during the response to event as required even when the SFP area is not accessible and habitable. SNC intends to provide the information concerning specific SFP sensor locations and SFP area cable routing in the February 2015 Overall Integrated Plan 6 month update.
It should be noted that the SFP OIP submitted in February 2013 inadvertently referenced the high pool level elevation as 227' - 5". This elevation should read 227' - 0.5".
3.3 Mounting The 01 P states, in part, that Per NEI 12-02 Section 3.3, Mounting, the new equipment will be mounted to maintain the current Seismic Class of the Spent Fuel Pool which is Seismic Class I (Unit 2 FSAR Section 9.1.2.2.1, Reference 10). Thus, the new equipment will be seismically qualified to Class I. In addition, the mounting of the primary and backup channel components throughout the plant will meet the criteria of the structure it will be routed through or attached to (refer to Qualification details below relating to cable and raceway installation criteria).
NRC RAI-3 Please provide the following:
a)
