WATERFORD STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNIT 3 LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION REQUESTS FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - SET 8 (CAC NO. MF7492)
Request for Additional Information (RAI) 2.3.3.8-1
Background:
The staff notes that license renewal application (LRA), Section 2.1.3.1, states that, Waterford 3 [Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3] is in the process of transitioning to the
[National Fire Protection Association] NFPA 805 risk-informed, performance-based fire protection program. However, this process has not been completed, this license renewal application is based on the sites requirements under 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 50.48 and Appendix R On June 27, 2016, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued a license amendment for the Waterford 3 to incorporate the NFPA 805 fire protection licensing basis in accordance with 10 CFR 50.48(c). The amendment authorizes the transition of the licensees fire protection program to a risk-informed, performance-based program based on the 2001 Edition of NFPA 805.
Issue:
The fire protection program scoping and screening information in Entergy Operations, Inc.,
March 23, 2016, Waterford 3 LRA was based on 10 CFR 50.48(b) and Appendix R compliance.
Subsequently, in June 27, 2016, the NRC issued the NFPA 805 fire protection license amendment in accordance with 10 CFR 50.48(c). Since the NFPA 805 license condition supersedes the current Waterford 3 fire protection license condition, the NFPA 805 transition process will impact the scoping and screening of the fire protection systems and components.
Request:
The staff requests that the licensee provide a supplement to the LRA consistent with the new NFPA 805 licensing basis. The supplement should include a revision that demonstrates that the LRA scoping and screening Section 2.3.3.8, Fire Protection: Water, Section 2.3.3.9, Reactor Coolant Pump Oil Collection, and Section 2.4, Scoping and Screening Results: Structures, (only fire barrier portion) remain consistent with the 10 CFR 50.48(c) and NFPA 805 licensing basis.

6 Follow-up RAI B.1.17-02
Background:
By letter dated March 23, 2016, Entergy Operations, Inc. (the applicant) submitted an LRA for Waterford 3. Section 4.7.1 of the LRA lists three cranes designed to CMAA-70 specifications (CMAA-70), the polar crane, the fuel handling building (FHB) crane, and the radwaste cask handling bridge crane (located in the auxiliary building). When listing the cranes the applicant did not provide in the LRA the number and magnitude of lifts associated with the in-scope cranes as recommended in Table 3.0-1, FSAR Supplement for Aging Management of Applicable Systems, of NUREG 1800, Revision 2 (SRP-LR). By letter dated September 15, 2016, the staff requested through RAI B.1.17-01, that the applicant provide for the in-scope cranes, the number and magnitude of anticipated lifts to be made during the period of extended operation (PEO) or provide alternatives to and identify differences from the SRP-LR acceptance criteria and how these alternatives would be considered acceptable.
Issue:
In its response to RAI B.1.17-01, dated October 13, 2016, the applicant provided the number of lifts for two of the listed CMAA-70 cranes in LRA Section 4.7.1 (FHB crane and polar crane). It is not clear why the radwaste cask handling bridge crane (located in the auxiliary building),
although listed in Section 4.7.1 of the LRA and identified as a crane designed to CMAA-70 specifications, has been omitted from the applicants response to RAI B.1.17-01. The staff also reviewed Section A.2.5.1, Crane Load Cycle Analysis," of the LRA and noted that although it states the limit of applicable cycles for the Waterford 3 CMAA-70 cranes to be less than 100,000 cycles and with designs meeting the requirements of 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(i), it does not identify which of the in-scope cranes satisfy these requirements during the PEO.
Request:
- 1. Provide the magnitude and number of lifts for the radwaste cask handling bridge crane (located in the auxiliary building).
- 2. Identify in Section A.2.5.1 of the LRA the Waterford 3 CMAA-70 designed cranes expected to satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR 54.21(c)(1)(i) (i.e., magnitude and number of lifts incorporated in the original design remain valid during the PEO).
