Additional Comment Test or Analysis Results Licensee Evaluation 1
Design Specification SFPI Requirements derived from References 1, 2, and 3 References 4-12, 25, 27, 28, 29, and 30 Evaluation of vendor information is within the scope of EC 52728 (Reference 33).
2 Test Strategy Per Requirements in References 1, 2, and 3 References 4, 6-12, 25, 28, 29, 27, and 30 The equipment testing performed for the SFPI has been found to be acceptable based on the current design requirements.
3 Environmental Qualification for electronics enclosure with Display 75-112.5°F (References 13
& 36)
Reference 4 14-131°F The display/processors will be located in the Relay Room, within the Control Room Boundary. Calculation JAF-CALC-MISC-04509 (Reference 36) determines that the maximum temperature in the Relay Room, for a configuration in which no ventilation is provided and the equipment inside is powered, will be 110°F after 93 hours0.00108 days <br />0.0258 hours <br />1.537698e-4 weeks <br />3.53865e-5 months <br /> and 112.5°F after 144 hours0.00167 days <br />0.04 hours <br />2.380952e-4 weeks <br />5.4792e-5 months <br />.
The normal operating temperature of the Relay Room is 75°F (Reference 13, Table 9.9-1). The SFPI vendor, MOHR, has successfully tested its system electronics to a nominal temperature range of 14°F to 131°F. The sensor electronics is capable of continuously performing its required function under the expected temperature conditions. 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.

Additional Comment Test or Analysis Results Licensee Evaluation 5-95% RH Reference 4 5-95% RH 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).
Humidity in the Relay Room is normally regulated by the Relay Room Ventilation and Cooling (RRHV) system at 40-50% (Reference 34). During an extended loss of 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 NRC Audit Report for MOHR (Reference 32).
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

Reference 5 RAD TID is the total 40 yr dose plus the 7 day worst case accident dose at the lowest spacer location on the Probe body 480°F long-term for PEEK Insulators The NRC Audit Report for MOHR (Reference 32) concludes that the SFP-1 probe is suitable for operation in the SFP environment.
The SFP is expected to remain at or above the minimum ambient temperature of the Reactor Building (40°F) as called out in the UFSAR (Reference 13).
Maximum accident condition of the spent fuel pool is taken to be 212°F boiling water/steam at atmospheric pressure. Based on the vendor analysis results, the sensitive materials in the probe body will not be challenged under the required conditions of References 1, 2, and 13, and are acceptable.

392°F long-term The NRC Audit Report for MOHR (Reference 32) concludes that the SFP-1 probe is suitable for operation in the SFP environment.
The SFP area is expected to remain at or above the minimum ambient temperature of the Reactor Building (40°F) as called out in the UFSAR (Reference 13).
Maximum accident condition temperature and humidity directly above the spent fuel pool is taken to be a condensing steam environment which conservatively will be no greater than 212°F, the temperature of boiling water at atmospheric pressure. Based on the vendor analysis results the sensitive materials in the probe head will not be challenged under the required conditions of References 1, 2, and 13, and are acceptable.
For coaxial transmission cable beyond the Probe Head, MOHR uses Class 1E Nuclear Safety Related RSCC Wire & Cable RSS-6-110A/LE which meets the requirements of Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) 383-1974, "IEEE Standard for Type Test of Class 1 E Electric Cables, Field Splices, and Connections for Nuclear Power Generating Stations" and is acceptable (Reference 32).
0-100% RH Condensing (References 1 and 2)
Reference 5 0-100% RH for PEEK, EPDM and Sylgard 170 The NRC Audit Report for MOHR (Reference 32) concludes that the SFP-1 probe is suitable for operation in the SFP environment.
100% non-condensing RH is a conservative humidity range for normal operating conditions. Based on the vendor analysis results, the sensitive materials in the probe head will not be challenged under the required conditions of References 1 and 2, and are acceptable.

The calculations determine conservative source terms and dose rates at key instrument locations for both a 7 day accident scenario and 40 year TID.
8 Seismic Qualification Seismic Class I (References 1, 2, 3, 13)
References 8 and 11 Seismic Class 1
Acceptable, MOHR has prepared a series of generic seismic qualification reports for the SFP level instrument which bound JAFs seismic criteria. The qualification reports envelop all components of the new SFP level instrumentation required to be operational following a BDBEE and post-event. These documents are MOHR Reports 1-0410-6 (Reference 8) and 1-0410-9 (Reference 11).

Additional Comment Test or Analysis Results Licensee Evaluation Calculation JAF-CALC-15-00005 (Reference 39) accounts for seismic loads and shows that the SFPI Probe Mounting Bracket is structurally adequate and seismically qualified because all Interaction Ratios (IR) are less than one (1.0).
Reference Topic #9 for discussion of induced sloshing.
9 Sloshing Water induced motion from seismic event does not cause equipment structural failure References 8, 11, 28 and 29 See Topic #8 Acceptable. The MOHR generic seismic qualification reports (References 8 and 11) in combination with NAI Reports NAI-1725-003 and NAI-1725-004 (References 28 and 29) adequately bound the hydrodynamic loads associated with sloshing for JAF.
Calculation JAF-CALC-15-00005 (Reference 39) accounts for sloshing and shows that the SFPI Probe Mounting Bracket is structurally adequate and seismically qualified as all Interaction Ratios (IR) are less than one (1.0).
10 Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation System Functionality System must allow for routine, in situ functionality References 20, 21, and 22 The system features on board electrical diagnostics.
SFPI channel/equipment maintenance/preventative maintenance and testing program requirements to ensure design and system readiness will be established in accordance with Entergys processes and procedures and in consideration of vendor recommendations to ensure that appropriate regular testing, channel checks, functional tests, periodic calibration, and maintenance are performed (and available for inspection and audit). The instrument automatically monitors the integrity of its level measurement system using in-situ capability. Revision 0 of the manuals have been provided by the vendor (References 20, 21, and 22) for use, although it is possible these could be amended by the vendor in the future based on installation experience.

Additional Comment Test or Analysis Results Licensee Evaluation 11 Boron Build-Up Buildup cannot produce error greater than 1 including all other error source terms (References 1 and 2)
Reference 10 Boron buildup can produce a maximum error of 2.5 inches Acceptable, MOHR Report 1-0410-8 (Reference 10) concludes that the presence of borated water and/or boric acid deposits will not significantly impair the ability of the MOHR EFP-IL SFPI system to accurately measure water level in the SFP environment.
Regardless of these findings, JAF is a BWR and does not use borated water in their SFP.
Previous Topic #10 already discusses maintenance /
preventative maintenance requirements being established in consideration of vendor recommendations (which includes and bounds those associated with boron build-up). 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).

Reference 8 See Topic #8 Seismic Class I Equipment installed in the Relay Room at EL. 284-8 shall be installed as Seismic Class I. EC52728 (Reference 33) accounts for seismic accelerations and shows that the additional brackets can withstand the maximum loads imposed onto them without requiring further calculations.
14 Shock & Vibration (References 1, 2, 3)

(Reference 15)
IEC 60068-2-6 (2007-12)
(Reference 16)
The NRC Audit Report for MOHR (Reference 32) concludes that the shock and vibration test results were satisfactory. The report also acknowledges that the testing performed in MOHR Report 1-0410-16 (Reference 30) is sufficient to close the open item identified during the MOHR audit.
Acceptable, the vendor testing provided adequately addresses the requirements for general robustness of the enclosures. The probe and repairable head are essentially a coax cable system that is considered inherently resistant to shock and vibration. The probes and repairable head are evaluated to be adequately designed for resilience against shock and vibration (Reference 30).
The new probe mounting components and fasteners are seismically qualified and designed as rigid components inherently resistant to vibration effects.
The probes will be affixed to the bracket using a machine screw connection designed with proper thread engagement and lock washers.
The indicator and battery enclosures will be mounted in the Relay Room (Reference 33), which is within the Control Room Boundary.
