Burnup depen nt calculations were performed with STRIKIN-II to determine the limiting conditions for the ECCS performance analysis.

The fuel. performance da a was generated with the FATES-3A fuel evaluation model (References 8-6 and 8-7) with the NRC grain size restriction (Reference 8-8).

It was demonstrated that the burnup with the highest initial fuel stored energy was limiting.

This occurred at a hot rod burnup of IKO MMD/NTU.

The temperature and oxidation calculations were performed for the 1.0 Double-Ended Guillotine at Pump Discharge (DEG/PD) break.

This break size is the limiting break size of the reference cycle and, as the hydraulics are identical, is the limiting break size for Cycle 3.

8.1. 3 Results Signi icant core and system parameters for the preference cycle and

'PVNGS-1 Cycle 3 are shown in Table 8.1-3;.

Table 8.1-2 presents the analysis results for the 1.0 DEG/PD break which produces the highest peak clad temperature.

This limi ing case results in a peak clad temperature of 1944 F, which is weil below the accep ance limit of 22QQ F.

The maximum local and core wide zirconium oxidation, as shown in Table 8.i-2, remain well below the acceptance limi-values of 17~ and 1~, respec ively.

These results remain applicable for up to 400 tubes pluoged per s~eam oenera-or and a reduction in sys-em flow rate to 155.8X10 ibm/hr and a reduction in core flow ra:e o

151. 1x10 1 bm/hr.

The reduc ion in delivered low pressure safety injection flow (see Reference 8-11) does not impact the reflooding of the reac or vessel following a large break loss-of-cooian accident as long as there is sufficient flow from the safety injec ion pumps to maintain a full downcomer annulus following discharge of the safety injec ion tanks.

Mith the revised low pressure safe y injection flow, there is sufficient flow to maintain a full downcomer.

SUMMARY

OF MEETING WITH THE COMBUSTION EtiGIffEEPING OWNERS GROUP (CEOG)

REGAPDING THE DEFAS DESIGN FEATURES TO BE ItfSTALLED PEP, 10 CFR 50.62 (THE ATWS RULE)

A meeting was helci in Bethesda, Maryland on July 12, 1989, between members of the tlPC staff and representatives of four licensees who form the Combustion Enaineering Owners Group (GEOG).

The four licensees are:

Louisiana Power P.

Light COII,pany '(Waterford); Arkansas Power ff Light Company (AHO-2); Southern Califcrnia Edison Company (San Onofre 2

ff 3',

ana Arizona Public Service Company (Palo Verde 1, 2 5 3).

A.list of attendees is presented in Enclosure 1.

Back round A previous meeting with the GEOG was held on May 1, 1989, tc discuss the general ciesign features of the diverse emergency feeawater actuation system (DEFAS) portiori of the ATWS equipment to be installed per the requirements of 10 CFR 50.62.

The meeting on May 1, 1989, discussed the'overall approach by the CEOG in designing the DEFAS as contained in the report,.

CE NPSD-384, which was docketed on April 30, 1989.

There was a subsequent telephone conference on June 21, 1989, between the tIRC staff and representatives of the GEOG which was focused on six concerns identified by the staff regarding the overall design features of the DEFAS. It was agreed by the parties to this telephone conference that these six concerns would form the agenda for the-meeting to be helci on July 12, 1989.

John N. Hannon ~Summa r The staff concluded early in the meeting on,July 12 as a result of the CEOG presentation that there would be such differences in the DEFAS equipment to be installed by the four licensees that.a final NRC acceptance of the DEFAS design features could 'only be giver. following a staff review of the plant specific submittals.

On this basis, the staff will net issue a generic SER on the CE report citea above.

However, there was sufficient information presented in the meetings or Viay 1 and July 12, 1989, to permit the staff to make specific comments on the DEFAS design features which would be common to all four licensees'lant specific designs.

The intent of the staff comments was to

.reflect the view that the general design features of the DEFAS concept presented by the GEOG was consistent with the intent of the ATWS rule.

It was clearly noted by the staff, however, that staff acceptance of the DEFAS design was continoent on a review of the plant specific submittals.

A summary of the staff's comments on the informatior presented at the two meetings citea above is presenteo below.

Enclosure 2 i' copy of the slides presented, by the GEOG cr. July 12, 1989.

Staff Comments on the GEOG DEFAS Desi

>> Features The following is the staff's understare'ng of the Diverse Emergcency Feeawater Actuatior. System (DEFAS) as presented in the met:tings held on Yay: and July 12, 1989.

The DEFAS coi sists of sensors, signal ccnditioning, trip recognition, coirc,)dence logic, initiation logic,, and other. circuitry and equipment needed tc monitor plant conditions and init>~te emergency feedwater actuation auring conditio>>s indicative of an ATWS.

The purpose of the DEFAS is to mitigate ATMS event cl nsequences by providirag a diverse mea>>s to initiate emergency aeedwater, thereby minimizing the potential for a common mode failure affecting both the reactor trip system and the existing emerge>>cy feedwater actuatioi system.

The t EFAS inl4iztion signals cause actuation of the auxiliary/emergency feeawaver pumps.and valves only if there is a demand for auxiliary/emergency feedwater actuation system (EFAS) signal and this sianal has not been generated by the plant protection system (PVS).

The occurrence of the EFAS actuation sig>>al by the PPS.

concurrent with the absence of an enable from the diverse scram system (DSSi, indicates that an ATWS condition does not exist and that emergency feedwater actuation by the DEFAS is not necessary.

Under these conditions, the DEFAS actuation will be blocked through logic in the auxiliary relay cabinet.

The staff's understanding of the functional requirements for the DEFAS is that:

DEFAS must initiaie emergency feedwater flow for conditions indicative of an A1WS where the EFAS has failed.

The DEFAS will not be required to provide mitigation of an accident such as isolating feedwater lov to a ruptured steam qenerator.

i5 ik

John N. Hannon 3

DEFAS wiH stop feedvrater flow to the affected steam generator after reaching a pre-determined level setpoint at about 30 minutes after actuation; thereafter, manual operator intervention will control the system.

DEFAS will utilize logic and redundancy to achieve a 2-out-of-2 initiation, as a minimum.

DEFAS wi 11 utilize steam generator water level as the parameter indicative of the need for EFAS actuation.

DEFAS will interface with the actuated components via the existing auxiliary relay cabinet (ARC) relays.

These relays are not used in the reactor trip system.

DEFAS will be blocked by the EFAS to prevent control/safety interactions and to disable DEFAS when the EFAS actuates.

DEFAS will be blocked by the main steam isolation system (MSIS) signal to prevent control/safety interactions and to disable the DEFAS when conditions for HSIS exist.

DEFAS will be enabled by a signal from the DSS indicating DSS actuation.

DEFAS will include capabilities to allow testing at power.

DEFAS wi 11 include features that provide alarms, plant computer data and other operator interfaces to indicate system status and meet operability requirements.

DEFAS setpoints will be coordinated with the existing PPS setpoints so that a competing condition between the PPS and DEFAS will be prevented.

DEFAS wi 11 he interfaced with existing sensors and output devices by a

fiber optic (F.O.) technique which has been approved by the NRC for nuclear plant safety related system application.

The DEFAS is fiber optically isolated via qualified devices and physically and electrically separated from the existing PPS.

It does not degrade the existing separation criteria of the PPS.

DEFAS logic will use two microprocessor based programmable logic controllers (PLC).

Each licensee will perform software verification and validation (VEV).

The record of the VhV process will be available for staff audit during the post-implementation inspection.

DEFAS equipment will be qualified for anticipated operational occurrences.

DEFAS wi 11 be designed under the suitable guality Assurance, procedures consistent with the requirements and clarification of 10 CFR 50.62 contained in Generic Letter 85-06.

John N.

Mannors DEFAS logic power will be separate and independent fron the existing PPS power.

Each DEFAS logic power supply is capable of providino 120 VAC uninterruptable power for up to one hour following the loss of its power bus.

DEFAS will use a single-board computer with solid state I/O modules as contrasted with the PPS which uses analog bistable trip units.

Therefore, the DEFAS logic is diverse from the PPS.

Based on the revi'ew of information docketed on April 30, 1989 and the meeting presentations on Nay,l and July 12, 1989, the staff comented that the-proposed GEOG aesign for a diverse emergency feedwater actuation system is in general agreement with the ATWS rule and guidance published in Federal Register Vol.

49, Ho. 124, dated June 26, 1984.

However, since there may be differences in hardware equipmert between the various plants, staff acceptarice of the. DEFAS portion of the ATMS implemertation for the affected plants can only be made after receipt of the plant specific designs.

During the meeting, the followir,g technical issues were discussed; the staff positions were s,tated for each issue.

(1)

The interlock from the DSS allows the DEFAS to initiate feedwater flow only if a DSS actuation has occurred.

The staff expressed its concern whether the timing of the DSS actuation is sufficient to allow the actuation of emergency feedwater to perform its mitigation function.

The CEOG provided an analysis deroonstratino the effect of DEFAS timing on peak pressure.

The typical difference in time between the reactor system pressure reaching the RTS setpoint and reaching the DSS setpoint is about 8 seconds.

The tiniing of DEFAS actuation has a

negligible effect on the peak reactor vessel pressure for the limiting ATWS ever t.

Accordirlgly, the staff commented that the design basis of the DSS for interlocking the DEFAS initiation would be appropriate.

(2)

Power sources common for final actuation aevice between the existirg RTS arid the DEFAS.

It is the staff's understanding that the DEFAS cabinet circuitry uses independent power sources which are backed up by batteries for up to one hour.

The DEFAS inputs to the auxiliary relay cabinet are through qualified isolators.

A fault at the DEFAS cabinet will not propagate to the auxiliary relay cabinets.

The staff coirmiented that this is consistent with the intent of the ATMS rule.

However, because some components located in the auxiliary relay cabinets will be shared for both EFAS and DEFAS and hence share RPS power, it is the staff's position that each individual licensee should provide an analysis to demonstrate that power supply faults (e.g.

overvoltage and undervoltge conditions, degraded frequencies, and overcurrent will not compromise. the RTS, the EFAS or the DEFAS equipment.

This analysis should include consideration of alarms for early detection of degraded voltage and frequency conditions to allow for operator corrective actior while the affected circuits/components are still capable of performing their intende8 functions.

This will be reviewed on a plant specific basis.

(Ql

4 bohr. ti. Hannon (3)

Operator actions The DEFAS will secure feeding the affected steam generator after reaching a pre-determined level setpoint (about 30 minutes after actuation);

thereafter, manual operator intervention will control the system.

The staff commented that an operator action after 30 minutes from automatic actuation is consistent with staff policy.

(4)

Separation from existing system The DEFAS final actuation devices are common to existing emergency feedwater system.

The ATWS rule guidance states that the implementation must be such that separation criteria applied to the existing protection system are not violated.

The DEFAS will use qualified F.O. isolators for interfacing with the existing EFAS.

The separation criteria applied to the existing protection system will not be violated.

The staff commented that this is consistent with the intent of the ATWS rule.

(5)

Assumption on control system failure impact to the accident analysis.

The CEOG presented justification to show that the DEFAS design will have minimal impact on the accident analysis.

With the

DSS, ESAS, and RSIS interlocks, the Owners Group indicated that a single failure would not cause the DEFAS to erroneously actuate such that it could adversely impact FSAR Chapter 6 ard 15 event analysis.

The staff ackrowledged that the Standard Review plan required a consideration of the effects of control sysi.eio action and inaction when assessing the trarsient response of the plant.

The staff agreed that the conceptual design proposed by the GEOG aoequately minimized the potential for improper actuation of the DEFAS during non-ATWS accident conditions.

In the course of the meeting, the CEOG asked the staff to consider reviewing a set of assumptions which would be used in performing plant specific IO CFR 50.59 analyses of modifications to be made when installing the ATWS hardware.

The staff responded that preparation of an analysis pursuant to a 10 CFR 50.59 licensee review was the sole responsibility of each licensee and that the staff would neither do a prior review nor consider approving any such analysis.

However, the staff stated that it would review the pertinent aspects of a design and analysis submitted in compliance with 10 CFR 50.62 (the ATWS rule).

In this regard, the staff indicated that its comments, as documented

above, on the information submitted at the meeting on Nay I, 1989, and at this meeting, reflects its view that the proposed DEFAS design is in general agreement with the intent of the ATWS rule.

The staff also emphasized that the four licensees should proceed with all aspects of the plant specific des igns and ana lyses.

With regard to implementation of the DEFAS portion of the ATMS design, the staff stated its position that the licensees in attendance should proceed in an expedited manner to design, procure and install the hardware for the DEFAS While the staff will review each of the GEOG plant specific ATWS

.I~

John N. Hannon designs and issue an SER for each submittal, the staff also stated that design, procurement and implementation by the licensees of the DEFAS portion of ATWS should not be delayed pending issuance of these SERs.

The staff noted that IO CFR 50.62(d) required. each licensee to "develop and submit a proposed schedule (for implementation)...Each shall include an explanation of the schedule along with a justification if the schedule -calls for final implementation later than the second refueling outage after July 26, 1984..."

As done in prior reviews of other ATHS submittals,, the staff again stated its position that delays attributable to disagreements over minor technical points is not sufficient basis for a schedular exemption request pursuant to 10 CFR 50.62(d).

This position derives from the staff's comments on the CEOG's ASS discussions on Hay I and July 12, 1989, as documented

above, thereby clarifying the major technical issues.

In this regard, the staff promised a relatively quick review of plant specific ATVS submittals in recognition of the differences in plant hardware between each of the affected CE plants.
