NuScale Response to NRC Request for Additional Information eRAI No. 9041 NuScale Power, LLC 1100 NE Circle Blvd., Suite 200 Corvalis, Oregon 97330, Office: 541.360.0500, Fax: 541.207.3928 www.nuscalepower.com
Response to Request for Additional Information Docket No.52-048 eRAI No.: 9041 Date of RAI Issue: 08/05/2017 NRC Question No.: 08.03.02-1 Question 1:
In FSAR, Tier 2, Figures 8.3-8a and 8.3-8b, Normal Direct Current Power System, Note 2 states Refer to DCD Section 8.3.2, Tables 8.3-14a-h for a listing of loads on each EDNS subsystem.
The staff could not find Tables 8.3-14a-h in FSAR Tier 2, Section 8.3. Please provide Tables 8.3- 14a-h and update the FSAR accordingly.
Question 2:
In FSAR Tier 2, Section 8.3.2.2.2, related to conformance with 10 CFR 50.34 (f)(2)(v), it is stated that that bypassed or deliberately induced inoperability of the EDSS and EDNS batteries and battery chargers is automatically annunciated in the MCR to indicate the bypassed system or component. The EDSS and EDNS alarms are discussed in Chapter 18.
The staff could not find the discussion of EDSS and EDNS alarms in Chapter 18 of FSAR.
Please provide the discussion of EDSS and EDNS alarms and update the FSAR accordingly.
NuScale Response:
Question 1 The information included in Note 2 to the EDNS figures is incorrect. NuScale has revised the associated drawings (FSAR Figures 8.3-8a through 8.3-8f) to remove this note as it is not NuScales intention to include tables of all the individual EDNS loads in the FSAR. (In some cases the applicable note for a particular figure is Note 1.)
FSAR Section 8.3.2.2.1 provides a list of systems that receive EDNS power. The MPS Class 1E interface for CRDM power is identified in Figure 8.3-8a. The 250 VDC lube oil loads are identified in Figure 8.3-b. The remaining individual EDNS loads, which are all nonsafety-related, NuScale Nonproprietary
are not explicitly identified in the FSAR EDNS figures. Considering this system's importance to safety, the amount of FSAR detail on EDNS loads is consistent with Section C.I.8.3.2.1 of RG 1.206, Combined License Applications for Nuclear Power Plants, and with recently submitted FSARs from other design centers with nonsafety-related DC systems.
Question 2 The reference to Chapter 18 in FSAR Section 8.3.2.2.2 for the EDSS and EDNS alarms is incorrect. The EDSS and EDNS alarms are described in FSAR Section 8.3.2.4. FSAR Section 8.3.2.2.2 has been revised to remove the reference to Chapter 18.
In the course of responding to this question, NuScale identified errors in the FSAR regarding conformance with 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(v) for the electric power systems within the scope of Chapter 8. In various places in the FSAR, Chapter 8 incorrectly indicates that 10 CFR 50.34 (f)(2)(v), RG 1.47, BTP 8-5, and NUREG-0718 apply to the onsite AC System, EDNS, and EDSS.
10 CFR 50.34 (f)(2)(v) and the associated guidance documents apply to safety-related systems and do not apply to the onsite AC System or the EDNS, both of which are nonsafety-related and not risk-significant. The EDSS is also nonsafety-related, which obviates the need for the EDSS to comply with Part 10 CFR 50.34 (f)(2)(v) and the associated guidance documents.
Unlike the onsite AC System and the EDNS, the EDSS is subject to the augmented provisions contained in Table 3-2 of topical report TR-0815-16497-P (Reference 8.3-1) that are typically applied to safety-related systems. Consistent with the surveillance and testing provisions of Table 3-2 of Reference 8.3-1, the appropriate design bases for the EDSS status indication in the main control room are Section 5 (Design Requirements) of IEEE Std. 338-1987 (Reference 8.3-21), which includes bypassed and inoperable indication in part 16, and Section 6.1 Surveillance and Test Requirements of IEEE Std. 308-2001 (Reference 8.3-15). As described in FSAR Section 8.3.2.2.2, the EDSS conforms to RG 1.32 and IEEE Standard 308-2001 to the extent described in Reference 8.3-1. Similarly, the EDSS conforms to RG 1.118 and IEEE Standard 338-1987 (Reference 8.3-21) to the the extent described in Reference 8.3-1.
BTP 8-5 was previously determined to be not applicable to the NuScale design as described in the NuScale Power, LLC, Design-Specific Review Standard (DSRS) Sections and Scope and Safety Review Matrix issued by the NRC under Federal Register notice (FRN) (81 FR 75449).
Consistent with the above discussion, the associated FSAR sections have been revised to eliminate bypass and inoperable indication for the onsite AC power systems and the EDNS.
With regard to the EDSS sections, the FSAR has been revised to change the design basis for EDSS status indication to the applicable IEEE standards described above. The revised FSAR sections include: Table 1.9-2, Table 1.9-3, Table 1.9-5, Section 8.1.4.3, Table 8.1-1, Section 8.3.1.2.7, Section 8.3.2.2.2, and Section 8.3.2.4.
NuScale Nonproprietary
Impact on DCA:
FSAR Table 1.9-2, Table 1.9-3, Table 1.9-5, Section 8.1.4.3, Table 8.1-1, Section 8.3.1.2.7, Section 8.3.2.2.2, Section 8.3.2.4, and Figures 8.3-8a through 8.3-8f have been revised as described in the response above and as shown in the markup provided in this response.

NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Introduction RAI 08.03.02-1
- The design of the NuScale AC and DC electrical systems conforms to 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(v) (TMI Item I.D.3) to the extent described in Section 8.3.1 and Section 8.3.2.
- The NuScale design does not rely on pressurizer heaters to establish and maintain natural circulation in shutdown conditions. Accordingly, the NuScale design supports an exemption from the 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(xiii) (TMI Item II.E.3.1) requirement to provide pressurizer heater power supply and associated motive and control power interfaces to establish and maintain natural circulation in shutdown conditions.
- The NuScale design does not include pressurizer relief valves or pressurizer relief block valves. Therefore, 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(xx) (TMI Item II.G.1) requirements to provide emergency power sources and qualified motive and control power connections for such valves are not technically relevant to the NuScale design. The NuScale design supports an exemption from the portions of the rule which require vital power buses for pressurizer level indicators.
- The extent to which the design of NuScale electrical systems conforms to 10 CFR 50.55a(h) is described in Section 8.3.1 and Section 8.3.2.
- The NuScale Power Plant design conforms to the requirements of 10 CFR 50.63 for a light water reactor to have the capability to withstand an SBO for a specified duration and recover from an SBO as defined in 10 CFR 50.2. Additional details regarding conformance with 10 CFR 50.63 are described in Section 8.4.
- The 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) assessment is applied to NuScale electrical system SSC that (1) are determined to meet the 10 CFR 50.65(b) criteria, and (2) a risk-informed evaluation process has shown to be significant to public health and safety.

NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Onsite Power Systems The only circuits that penetrate the CNVs are I&C circuits that serve to control power to and operate safety-related and nonsafety-related equipment (e.g.,
sensors, execute devices, etc.) associated with each NPM as described in Section 7.0.4. There are no on site AC electrical power system cables that penetrate the CNVs.The electrical design requirements for electrical penetration assemblies (EPAs) comply with GDC 50 as described in Section 8.3.1.2.5.
RAI 08.03.02-1 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(v)
The bypass and inoperable status indications provided for safety systems and conformance with 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(v) and RG 1.47, Rev. 1 are further described in Section 7.2.4. General conformance to 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(v) is described in Section 1.9.
As described in Section 8.1.4.3, the NuScale design supports an exemption from the 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(xiii) (Three Mile Island (TMI) Item II.E.3.1) requirements.
As described in Section 8.1.4.3, the NuScale Power Plant design does not include pressurizer relief valves or pressurizer relief block valves. Therefore, 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(xx) (TMI Item II.G.1) requirements to provide emergency power sources and qualified motive and control power connections for such valves are not technically relevant to the NuScale Power Plant design. The NuScale design supports an exemption from the portions of the rule that require vital power buses for pressurizer level indicators.
The onsite electrical AC power system equipment is not a protection system and does not perform any safety-related functions. Therefore, the system is not required to conform to 10 CFR 50.55a(h) and IEEE Standard 603-1991 (Reference 8.3-19) endorsed by RG 1.153, Rev. 1. The conformance of the design of I&C equipment and circuits, such as Class 1E pressurizer heater circuit breakers that are not within the scope of the on-site electrical systems, to 10 CFR 50.55a(h) is shown in Table 7.0-1.
10 CFR 50.63 The NuScale Power Plant conformance with 10 CFR 50.63 is described in Section 8.4.
Tier 2 8.3-16 Draft Revision 1
NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Onsite Power Systems The development and implementation of the maintenance rule (10 CFR 50.65) program, including the identification of SSC that require assessment per 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4), is stated in Section 17.6.
See section 14.3 for the methodology related to developing the Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria for AC systems.
Regulatory Guide 1.6 (March 1971)
The scope of RG 1.6 is limited to independence of standby power sources and Class 1E distribution systems. Because the onsite electrical AC power systems do not contain any Class 1E distribution systems, this RG is not applicable to the AC electrical system design.
Regulatory Guide 1.32, Rev. 3 The NuScale Power Plant design uses passive safety systems that do not require AC electric power to fulfill safety-related functions and the onsite electric AC power systems are nonsafety-related. Therefore, RG 1.32 is not applicable.
RAI 08.03.02-1 Regulatory Guide 1.47, Rev. 1 The onsite AC power system conforms to RG 1.47 to the extent described in the discussion of conformance to 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(v) above.
Regulatory Guide 1.53, Rev. 2 The onsite electric AC power systems do not perform any safety-related functions.
Therefore, application of the single-failure criterion to these systems is not required.
RAI 08.01-1 Regulatory Guide 1.63, Rev. 3 Details regarding conformance with GDC 50 and RG 1.63 are provided in Section 8.1.4.3 and in the discussion of conformance with GDC 50 above.The electrical design requirements for electrical penetration assemblies (EPAs) satisfy RG 1.63 as described in Section 8.3.1.2.5.
Regulatory Guide 1.68, Rev. 4 Regulatory Guide 1.68 is implemented using a graded approach to testing in order to provide reasonable assurance, considering the importance to safety of the item, that the item performs satisfactorily while, at the same time, accomplishing the testing in a cost-effective manner. Preoperational testing of the onsite AC electrical system is performed as part of the initial test program described in Section 14.2.12.
Tier 2 8.3-17 Draft Revision 1
NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Onsite Power Systems Regulatory Guide 1.160, Rev. 3 Regulatory Guide 1.160 provides guidance for monitoring the effectiveness of maintenance at nuclear power plants. The development and implementation of the maintenance rule (10 CFR 50.65) program, including the identification of SSCs that require assessment per 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4), is stated in Section 17.6.
Regulatory Guide 1.204 (November 2005)
Details demonstrating conformance with RG 1.204 and the IEEE standards it endorses are provided in Section 8.3.1.2.4.
Regulatory Guide 1.218 (April 2012)
Regulatory Guide 1.218 provides guidance for monitoring the condition of cables that have been determined to fall within the scope of the maintenance rule (10 CFR 50.65). The development and implementation of the maintenance rule program, including the identification of SSC that require assessment per 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4), is stated in Section 17.6.
Branch Technical Position 8-2, Rev. 3 The intent of Branch Technical Position (BTP) 8-2 is to ensure that the provision of GDC 17 is met with respect to minimizing the probability of concurrent loss of electrical power sources. This guidance precludes the use of onsite standby AC power sources for purposes other than supplying standby power when needed.
With the NuScale Power Plant non-reliance on AC power for the performance of safety-related functions, the concurrent loss of onsite and offsite AC power sources would have no significant adverse effect on plant safety. Notwithstanding this conclusion, for operational, commercial, and plant investment protection purposes, the BDGs are used only to supply standby power to designated loads when needed, and are not interconnected with other AC power sources, except for short periods to perform load testing.
As described in Section 8.3.1.1, there are certain operating conditions during which the AAPS may be interconnected with other AC power sources (e.g., one or more NPM turbine generators or offsite power sources, if available). The NuScale design does not rely on AC power sources for the performance of safety-related functions, and the guidance of BTP 8-2 need not be applied to the AAPS.
Branch Technical Position 8-4, Rev. 3 Branch Technical Position 8-4 establishes the acceptability of disconnecting power to electrical components of a fluid system as one means of designing against a single failure that might cause an undesirable component action. Removal of electric power from safety-related valves is not used in the NuScale Power Plant design as a means of satisfying the single failure criterion. Therefore, this BTP is not applicable to the NuScale design.
RAI 08.03.02-1 Tier 2 8.3-19 Draft Revision 1
NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Onsite Power Systems Branch Technical Position 8-5, Rev. 3 Branch Technical Position 8-5 provides supplemental guidance for implementing RG 1.47 in the onsite AC power system. The conformance to RG 1.47 is described above.
Branch Technical Position 8-6, Rev. 3 The undervoltage provisions contained in BTP 8-6 are not relevant to the NuScale Power Plant design because a loss of voltage or a degraded voltage condition on the offsite power system would have no reasonable likelihood of adversely affecting the performance of plant safety-related functions.
Branch Technical Position 8-9, Rev. 0 The criteria specified in BTP 8-9 relevant to passive plant designs are considered as described in Section 8.2.
RAI 08.02-9 SECY 94-084 and SECY 95-132 FSAR Section 17.4.3 describes the NuScale methodology to establish risk significance of SSC. The NuScale process for evaluating SSC against the RTNSS criteria is described in FSAR Section 19.3. This process did not identify any safety-related or risk-significant loads for the onsite AC power systems.
RAI 08.02-9 The lack of safety-related and risk-significant AC loads and the 72-hour SBO coping capability of the passive NuScale design as described in Section 8.4 obviate the need for an alternate AC power source or a safety-related emergency diesel generator, consistent with SECY 94-084 Parts F and G, which were confirmed in SECY 95-132.
8.3.1.2.8 Electrical Power System Calculations and Distribution System Studies for Alternating Current Systems Load-flow studies, short-circuit studies, and motor-starting studies for the AC power system are performed using the Electrical Transient Analyzer Program (ETAP) (Reference 8.3-11).
Load-Flow Studies and Undervoltage or Overvoltage Protection Load-flow studies are performed to evaluate whether an acceptable voltage range is maintained at equipment terminals under worst case loading conditions. Voltage drop at equipment terminals is also calculated for the largest motor starting condition. The studies confirm that terminal voltage of equipment meets the acceptable voltage ranges.

As described in Section 8.1.4.3, the NuScale design supports an exemption from the portions of 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(xx) that require vital power buses for pressurizer level indicators. This requirement is not applicable to the DC systems.
The onsite electrical DC power system equipment is not a protection system and does not perform any safety-related functions. Therefore, the system is not required to conform to 10 CFR 50.55a(h) and IEEE Standard 603-1991 (Reference 8.3-19).
However, the EDSS design is augmented to conform to 10 CFR 50.55a(h) and IEEE Standard 603-1991 to the extent described in Reference 8.3-1. The conformance of the design of I&C equipment and circuits (that are not within the scope of electrical systems) to 10 CFR 50.55a(h) is shown in Table 7.0-1.
