Reference Attachment 2 - items 8, 12, 17 Below is a summary of the test conditions used by Westinghouse to qualify the SFPIS. These test conditions are also documented in Attachment 2, Items 3 thru 8. Environmental conditions for SFPIS components installed in the spent fuel pool area at Point Beach are bounded by the test conditions. The radiation TID for beyond design basis conditions (BOB) at the floor above the SFP when the SFP water level is at Level 3 is 9.4E+06 R y, based on the results of calculation N-89-024, Dose Rates at Elev.

Thermal and Radiation Aging - organic components in SFP area Westinghouse documents EQ-QR-269, EQ-TP-354, WNA-TR-03149-GEN (Attachment 2, item 6) provide thermal and radiation aging program details for the SFPI components. Westinghouse completed their thermal and radiation aging testing programs to qualify the SFPI components to 10 years. The Westinghouse summary report, EQ-QR-269, contains an open item to track resolution of the potential shortfall of the radiation dose calculation by Steris.

Westinghouse provided an interim position response for the radiation aging program performed on the SFPIS. (LTR-EQ-14-163) It was concluded by Westinghouse that the radiation program for the SFPIS included requirements for margin and uncertainty based on the industry standards and known accuracy of the Steris dosimetry equipment. The radiation aging certificate for the SFPIS equipment identifies that a minimum of 12.1 Mrads was achieved; therefore, it is shown that the actual minimum radiation dose that was achieved for the SFPIS equipment is sufficient for a 10-year specimen. NextEra is tracking closure of this open item. NextEra will complete the test report reviews when available.

Seismic Category I Testing Seismic qualification testing performed by Westinghouse along with the technical evaluations performed by Westinghouse confirms that the SFPIS meets the seismic requirements of the vendor's design specification (Attachment 2, item 1). Westinghouse's design specification satisfies the Point Beach installation requirements to withstand a SSE.

Vibration Justification As specified in RAI-4, components of the system (i.e., bracket, transmitter enclosure, display enclosure, and readout display) will be permanently installed to meet the requirements to withstand a SSE and will meet the Point Beach seismic installation requirements.

Westinghouse has analyzed the pool side bracket to withstand design basis SSE. Other components of the SFPIS were subjected to shock and vibration during the seismic testing and met the requirements necessary for mounted equipment.

Sloshing Justification The sloshing calculation performed by Westinghouse (Attachment 2, item 9) was reviewed for a design basis seismic event and found acceptable. Sloshing forces were taken into consideration for the anchorage design of the pool side bracket to ensure the bracket is rigidly mounted to include sloshing affects.

Thermal and Radiation Aging - organic components in SFP area Westinghouse documents EQ-QR-269, EQ-TP-354, WNA-TR-03149-GEN (Attachment 2, item 6) provide thermal and radiation aging program details for the SFPI components. Westinghouse completed their thermal and radiation aging testing programs to qualify the SFPI components to 10 years. The Westinghouse summary report, EQ-QR-269, contains an open item to track resolution of the potential shortfall of the radiation dose calculation by Steris.

Westinghouse provided an interim position response for the radiation aging program performed on the SFPIS. (LTR-EQ-14-163) It was concluded by Westinghouse that the radiation program for the SFPIS included requirements for margin and uncertainty based on the industry standards and known accuracy of the Steris dosimetry equipment. The radiation aging certificate for the SFPIS equipment identifies that a minimum of 12.1 Mrads was achieved; therefore, it is shown that the actual minimum radiation dose that was achieved for the SFPIS equipment is sufficient for a 10-year specimen. NextEra is tracking closure of this open item. NextEra will complete the test report reviews when available.

Seismic Category I Testing Seismic qualification testing performed by Westinghouse along with the technical evaluations performed by Westinghouse confirms that the SFPIS meets the seismic requirements of the vendor's design specification (Attachment 2, item 1). Westinghouse's design specification satisfies the Point Beach installation requirements to withstand a SSE.

Vibration Justification As specified in RAI-4, components of the system (i.e., bracket, transmitter enclosure, display enclosure, and readout display) will be permanently installed to meet the requirements to withstand a SSE and will meet the Point Beach seismic installation requirements.

Westinghouse has analyzed the pool side bracket to withstand design basis SSE. Other components of the SFPIS were subjected to shock and vibration during the seismic testing and met the requirements necessary for mounted equipment.

Sloshing Justification The sloshing calculation performed by Westinghouse (Attachment 2, item 9) was reviewed for a design basis seismic event and found acceptable. Sloshing forces were taken into consideration for the anchorage design of the pool side bracket to ensure the bracket is rigidly mounted to include sloshing affects.
