SUMMARY

OF MEETING.HELD ON DECEMBER 2, 1980 A meeting was held in Bethesda, Maryland with the above named members of the Boiling Water Reactor-Licensing Review Group (BWR-LRG).

The purpose of 'the meeting was to discuss the current status of the LRG issues.

The list of attendees for this meeting is provided in Enclosure l.

I began the meeting by distributing a list of the LRG issues which indicated the current status (refer to Enclosure 2).

Each of these issues were discussed with the LRG members.

During the discussion of PSB issues, Fire Protection concerns were also discussed.

A status report of the LaSalle specific issues was also presented at the meeting.

This report is attached as Enclosure 3.

At the conclusion of the meeting, the LRG presented their consensus positions on recently issued concerns from the Core Performance Branch (provided as ).

The proposed addition of Appendix A to SRP 4.2 provides guidance for the analysis of Fuel Assembly Components and Acceptance Criteria for Fuel Assembly Response to externally applied forces.

The applicants fuel assembly capability should be. assessed accordingly.

Position Common

. General Electric has completed, development of fuel assembly loads modeling

.and results acceptance criteria both deemed to be in accordance mth the requirements of Appendix A to SRP 4.2.

The LRG lead plant (LaSalle) has been evaluated accordingly with'cceptable results.

LRG. plants Mil] be evaluated on, an appropriate schedule basis.

Ru ture Hodels The applicant has not provided information to assure that for the fuel cladding in.a 'LOCA "the degree of swelling and 'incidence of rupture are not underestimated" as required by Appendix K of 10CFR50.46.

The procedures proposed in NUREG-0630 introduce additional conservatism and should be utilized to perform supplemental calculations to the current ECCS analyses.

'Position

~Common)

The current analyses is FSAR Section 6.3.3 conservatively bounds the clad swelling and rupture model concerns of NUREG-0630.

Additional analyses would, be of little value to the ECCS performance evaluation review.

In any case, since General Electric has not begun to develop model changes suggested by NUREG-0630 it would not be possible to perform such an analysis in the near future.

This position is supported by three General Electric letters discussing existing model suitability; a GE letter providing comments to NUREG-0630 and a letter from ACRS to the NRC ot September 9,

1980 stating "The ACRS recommends that implementation of the NUREG-0630 models and other significant changes in the evaluation models be held in abeyance until a thorough revision of the Appendix K reguirements can be undertaken by the NRC staff."

The applicant has not referenced General Electric Licensing Topical'eport NEDE-21354-P which describ s the fuel channel design.

Of specific concern, is the commitment 'to control rod driveline friction tesi.ing recommended:in,Section 4.4.2 of HEOE-21354-P...

Position (Common)

The LRG members agreed to reference NEOE-21354-P in an appropriate FEAR section This Licensing Topical. Report is applicable to the fuel 'charm<'1

4esign being supplied. to all LRG plants.

All LGR plants are now designed in accordanice i~ith iiE"E-21354-P.

Operating plant experienc~

arid inspection has verified the adequacy of this design.

Therefore, the control rod driveline friction screening-type testing. suggested in Section 4.4.2 is not deemed necessary as a routine test for detecting the onset of control rod interference The periodic technical specification requirem nts for scram time testing and rod notch testing v>oui d provide an indication of a pending drive line friction -concern.

Should either of'hese tests suggest a drive friction problem,'the pressure test described in. NEDE-21354-P (4.4.2) can be used as an aid in isolating the cause of

'he drive malfunction.

'ater Side Corrosion The applicant has not addressed the potential for fuel corrosion failur similar to that v(hich occurred at the Vermont Yankee.Plant.

Position

. Uni<nue As indicated in the General Electric presentation given to the HRC in Decemb r 1979, the failures appeared to be associated v(ith a metallic incursion in the feedwater.

This event has occurred only once in the BMR operating history and is unlikely to. occur.

1.

Plants'>ith non-copper bearing main condensor tubes are not expected to experience

%he clad perfarationsof this concern.

La Salle, Shoreham and Susquehanna do not have copper bearing condensors.

2.-

Plants arit adequately designed filters demineralizers are not expected to experience the clad perforations of this concern even Mith copper bearing condensor. tubes.

Zimner, Fermi 2 -and Hanford 2 are designed accordingly.
