- 7. Potential Interim Staff Evaluation Impacts The Nexus Documents stipulate that the level probes be installed in the northeast and southeast corners of the SFP. During the development of the modification, there were obstructions encountered from the support brackets for the Auxiliary Decay Heat Removal (ADHR) piping in the pool. This would have required drilling the support plate to allow the probe to be installed and would have required a complete evaluation of the piping support and potential changes to the ADHR pipe. It would also have exposed the level probe to a turbulence as a result of the intake and discharge flow to and from the SFP which would have required additional testing to demonstrate that the probe was adequate for the intended installation.
In keeping with the guidance of the NEI document to locate the probes in the corners of the pool, the probes were relocated to the opposite side of the pool from the initially proposed location. The west side of the pool is essentially unobstructed. This affords a more suitable Page 3 of 25

- 9. Responses to the Interim Staff Evaluation Requests for Additional Information RAI #1 Please provide information regarding specific procedures controlling irradiated hardware stored in the SFP. Include details of any analysis performed to determine the projected dose rate impact and the appropriate Level 2 elevation as a result of dose from irradiated material stored in the SPF.
Interim Staff Guidance JLD-ISG-2012-03 Compliance with Order EA-12-051, Reliable Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation states The NRC staff considers that the methodologies and guidance in conformance with the guidelines provided in NEI 12-02, Revision 1, subject to the clarifications and exceptions in Attachment 1 to this ISG, are an acceptable means of meeting the requirements of Order EA-12-051.
NEI 12-02 R1 section 2.3.2, Level 2- level that is adequate to provide substantial radiation shielding for a person standing on the spent fuel pool operating deck defines Level 2.
Level 2 represents the range of water level where any necessary operations in the vicinity of the spent fuel pool can be completed without significant dose consequences from direct gamma radiation from the stored spent fuel. Level 2 is based on either of the following:
10 feet (+/- 1 foot) above the highest point of any fuel rack seated in the spent fuel pools, or a designated level that provides adequate radiation shielding to maintain personnel radiological dose levels within acceptable limits while performing local operations in the vicinity of the pool. This level shall be based on either plant-specific or appropriate generic shielding calculations, considering the emergency conditions that may apply at the time and the scope of necessary local operations, including installation of portable SFP instrument channel components. Additional guidance can be found in EPA-400, USNRC Regulatory Guide 1.13 and ANSI/ANS-57.2-1983.
Entergy has selected the 10 foot option which has been determined by the NRC to meet the requirements of the order with no further evaluation or review required.
The immediately following was updated from the 3rd Six-Month Status Report.
Irradiated equipment and materials are permanently stored in the SFP and hung on the SFP walls. Specific procedures control irradiated equipment and materials stored in the SFP. These procedures are as follows:
Radiological Controls for Highly Radioactive Objects - EN-RP-123 Spent Fuel Pool Material Control - AP-17.03 Transfer of Control Blades in the Spent Fuel Pool Using Control Blade Hangers - MP-004.25 LPRM Removal and Installation - MP-004.18 IRM/SRM Instrument Dry Tube Removal and Installation - MP-004.20 Because JAF has chosen Level 2 as 10 feet (+/- 1 foot) above the highest point of any fuel rack seated in the spent fuel pool, no additional analysis is required. Additionally, the JAF FLEX strategy ensures that all activities in the proximity of the SFP are completed prior to the calculated time to boil and thus prior to reduction of spent fuel pool level; therefore, this strategy Page 5 of 25
JAFP-15-0027 Attachment James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plants (JAFs) Fourth Six-Month Status Report for the Implementation of Order EA-12-051, Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Reliable Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation ensures that necessary operations in the vicinity of the spent fuel pool can be completed without significant dose consequences.

RAI #3 For each of the mounting attachments required to fasten SFP Level equipment to plant structures, please describe the design inputs and the methodology that was used to qualify the structural integrity of the affected structures/equipment.
This response will be provided in a future update.
RAI #4 Please provide further information to describe how other material stored in the SFP will not create adverse interaction with the fixed instrument location(s).
This response will be provided in a future update.
RAI #5 Please provide analysis of the maximum expected radiological conditions (dose rate and total integrated dose) to which the sensor electronics (including power boxes, signal processors, and display panels) will be exposed. Also, provide documentation indicating the maximum total integrated dose the sensor electronics can withstand and how it was determined. Discuss the time period over which the analyzed total integrated dose was applied.
See bridging document Topic #3 (Section 10).
RAI #6 Please provide information indicating (a) the maximum expected ambient temperature in the room in which the sensor electronics will be located under BDB conditions, with no ac power available to run Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems; and, (b) whether the sensor electronics are capable of continuously performing required functions under this expected temperature condition.
See bridging document Topic #3 (Section 10).

RAI #9 For RAI #8 above, please provide the results for the selected methods, tests and analyses used to demonstrate the qualification and reliability of the installed equipment in accordance with the Order requirements.
The immediately following was updated from the 3rd Six-Month Status Report to include changes based on issuance of the NRC Audit Report for the SFPI vendor (MOHR).
See bridging document Topic #14 (Section 10).
RAI #10 Please provide the vendor analysis and seismic testing results and show the SFP level instrument performance reliability, following exposure to simulated seismic conditions representative of the environment anticipated for the SFP structures at JAF, has been adequately demonstrated.
This response will be provided in a future update.
RAI #11 Please provide the NRC staff with the final configuration of the power supply source for each channel so the staff may conclude the two channels are independent from a power supply assignment perspective.
Each instrument loop is normally powered from a 120VAC 60 Hz plant distribution panel to support continuous monitoring of SFP level. The distribution panel for the primary Loop A receives power from a different 600V bus than the distribution panel for the backup Loop B.
Therefore, loss of any one 600V bus does not result in loss of normal 120VAC power for both instrument loops.
The distribution panels selected to provide 120VAC to the level instrumentation are non-safety related panels.

Results of the vendor testing are available in proprietary MOHR Report 1-0410-1 Rev. 0 (Reference 4), MOHR EFP-IL SFPI System Temperature and Humidity Report.
The SFPI vendor, MOHR, has successfully tested its system electronics to operate in a humidity range of 5% to 95% relative humidity. Results of the vendor testing are available in proprietary MOHR Report 1-0410-1 Rev. 0, MOHR EFP-IL SFPI System Temperature and Humidity Report (Reference 4).

AC power, the HVAC system is no longer available. Assuming the Relay Room is isolated from outside air, the temperature is expected to increase and the relative humidity is expected to decrease because the heat loads are dominated by the sensible heat of electrical equipment. Therefore, the maximum temperature of 112.5°F and humidity of 50% is still bounded by the 47 °C (116.6 °F) and 71 percent RH test case presented in MOHR Report 1-0410-1 (Reference 4) which was endorsed by the Page 12 of 25

In the event outside air is introduced to the Relay Room, due to open doors or HVAC system connections to other rooms, ASHRAE (Reference 35, Chapter 14 Appendix: Design Conditions for Selected Locations) defines the 0.4% dehumidification condition to be 80.5 °F db, 72.4 °F dew point, and ~67% RH for Syracuse, New York (Reference 35).
Similarly, 84.8 °F db, 75.4 °F wb, and ~65%
RH is defined for a 0.4% evaporation conditions. These conditions are bounded by the 32°C (89.6°F) and 96 percent RH test case presented in MOHR Report # 1-0410-1 (Reference 4).
Hence, the operational humidity range of 5-95 percent RH encompasses all expected conditions for the Relay Room and the sensor electronics are capable of continuously performing their required function under the expected humidity conditions.

Similarly, Topic #20 below discusses overall calibration or channel functional testing methodology expected to be based on vendor stated accuracy along with comparison of SFPI channels to actual pool level (which would also bound boron build-up effects specified in Reference 32). Visual inspection and/or wash down of the probe assembly could be initiated by accuracy requirements or routine inspection. The probe head assembly includes a connection mechanism for flushing water to remove boron build-up as may be necessary. Alternatively, the SFP water level can be raised until it covers and dissolves the boric acid deposit (Reference 22).
