NuScale Supplemental Response to NRC Request for Additional Information eRAI No. 8788
NuScale Nonproprietary Response to Request for Additional Information Docket No.52-048 eRAI No.: 8788 Date of RAI Issue: 05/22/2017 NRC Question No.: 08.01-1 General Design Criteria (GDC) 50, Containment Design Basis, requires, in part, that the design of containment penetrations, including electrical penetrations containing circuits of the ac power system and the capability of electrical penetration assemblies in containment structures to withstand a loss-of-coolant (LOCA) without loss of mechanical integrity and the external circuit protection for such penetrations. The staff has reviewed the following sections in the design certification application and noted some inconsistencies in addressing the Electrical Penetration Assemblies (EPA) and their conformance to GDC 50.
FSAR Tier 2 Section 3.1.5.1 states that the NuScale Power Plant Design conforms to GDC
- 50. However, FSAR Tier 2, Section 8.1.4.3, bullet 3, states that the AC and DC electrical power system circuits do not penetrate the containment vessels; therefore, conformance with GDC 50 is not necessary.
FSAR Tier 2, Section 8.3.1.2.7, under GDC 50, states that the only circuits that penetrate the CNVs are I&C circuits that serve to control power and operate safety-related and nonsafety-related equipment (e.g., sensors, execute devices) associated with each NPM as described in Section 7.0.4. There are no AC electrical power system cables that penetrate the CNVs.
FSAR Tier 2, Section 8.3.2.2.2, under GDC 50 compliance, states that The CNV electrical penetration assemblies for the Class 1E and non-Class 1E circuits are included in the containment design and conform to GDC 50 as discussed in FSAR Tier 2 Section 6.2.1.
EPAs are further discussed in the following:
Electrical penetration assemblies (example: CNV38/39) are indicated in FSAR Tier 2 Table 6.1-1, FSAR Tier 2 Figure 6.2-2b shows electrical penetration assembly, FSAR Tier 2, Section 6.2.4, under Containment Isolation, itemized Electrical Penetration for power supply as 3 total on the top head, and, FSAR Tier 2, Section 6.2.6.2 describes the leakage tests for Electrical Penetration Assemblies (EPA)
FSAR Tier 1, Section 2.1.1, under Design Commitments, the 10th bullet states that The NPM Class 1E containment electrical penetration assemblies are sized to power their design loads. In addition, FSAR Tier 1 Section 2.1.1, the last bullet states, The CNTS Class 1E containment electrical penetration assemblies are rated to withstand fault
NuScale Nonproprietary currents for the time required to clear the fault from its power source.
FSAR Tier 1 Table 2.1-2, and Table 2.1-3 lists Class 1E electrical penetrations for CNTS pressurizer heater power, and control rod drives. It is not specific whether these equipment require AC/DC power supply.
The staff requests NuScale to:
clarify whether or not electrical penetration assembly in the Class 1E containment 1.
conforms to GDC 50, clarify whether there are electrical penetration assemblies for power circuits and supplies, 2.
provide a list of the safety-related low voltage power circuits and control power circuits (AC 3.
and DC) that penetrate the containment (i.e., EPA), and if there is a Class 1E circuit that is included in the containment design, as stated in FSAR 4.
Tier 2 Section 8.3.2.2.2, explain why the EPA will not meet GDC 50 as Class 1E containment EPA, as stated in FSAR Tier 2 Section 8.1.4.3.
NuScale Response:
This response supplements the docketed response originally provided to Request for Additional Information (RAI) No. 27 (eRAI No. 8788) by NuScale letter RAIO-0717-55011 dated July 19, 2017. Pursuant to conference calls between NRC staff and NuScale on August 23, 2017 and October 4, 2017, NuScale has revised certain FSAR sections related to the design and testing of containment electrical penetration assemblies (EPAs) to address NRC staff comments on the original response.
FSAR Section 3.8.2.1.6 was revised to add additional information on the mechanical design of the EPAs. FSAR Table 3.11-1 was revised to add clarity to the EPA component descriptions for environmental qualification purposes, and a table note for commodity items was added. FSAR sections on EPA testing were revised consisistent with these FSAR changes. Certain FSAR sections that describe the EPA design and refer to FSAR Section 8.3.1 as applicable information were changed to FSAR Section 8.3 to not exclude relevant parts of FSAR Section 8.3.2. The remaining revisions are conforming changes.
The revisions to the EPA design descriptions are consistent with the acceptance criteria for EPAs described in Part 6 of the DSRS Acceptance Criteria in NuScale DSRS 8.3.1, AC Power Systems (Onsite) and in Part 7 of the Technical Rationale in NuScale DSRS 8.3.2, DC Power Systems (Onsite).
The revised FSAR sections and tables are listed below.

NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Conformance with U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission General Design Criteria Tier 2 3.1-38 Draft Revision 1 3.1.5 Reactor Containment 3.1.5.1 Criterion 50-Containment Design Basis The reactor containment structure, including access openings, penetrations, and the containment heat removal system shall be designed so that the containment structure and its internal compartments can accommodate, without exceeding the design leakage rate and with sufficient margin, the calculated pressure and temperature conditions resulting from any loss-of-coolant accident. This margin shall reflect consideration of (1) the effects of potential energy sources which have not been included in the determination of the peak conditions, such as energy in steam generators and as required by 50.44 energy from metal-water and other chemical reactions that may result from degradation but not total failure of emergency core cooling functioning, (2) the limited experience and experimental data available for defining accident phenomena and containment responses, and (3) the conservatism of the calculation model and input parameters.
Implementation in the NuScale Power Plant Design The CNV is designed to provide a final barrier against release of fission products while accommodating the calculated pressures and temperatures resulting from any design basis LOCA with sufficient margin such that the design leak rates are not exceeded. The CNV design also takes into consideration the pressures and temperatures associated with combustible gas deflagration. The design includes no internal sub-compartments to eliminate the potential for collection of combustible gases and differential pressures resulting from postulated high-energy pipe breaks within containment.
Conformance or Exception The NuScale Power Plant design conforms to GDC 50.

Two NPS 2 Sch. 160 decay heat removal system nozzles (upper CNV, elevation 56'-5" azimuth 120 degrees and 240 degrees) (these penetrations are not shown in Figure 3.8.2-4 but each has a similar configuration as the top head penetrations)
Reinforcement of the shell due to the penetration opening is provided by the nozzle and any additional thickness in the shell greater than the minimum wall thickness of the shell as calculated in accordance with American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code,Section III, Paragraph NB-3324. The penetration designs are evaluated for external loads imposed by the attached valves and piping systems.
The penetrations have containment isolation valves (CIVs) attached to the outside safe end and designed to allow passage of fluids and gases through the CNV boundary while preserving the integrity of the boundary and preventing or limiting the release of fission products under postulated accident conditions. The primary system CIVs are welded directly to the nozzle safe ends of the CNV penetration nozzles on the CNV top head. Secondary system CIVs are welded close to the nozzle safe ends to accommodate the decay heat removal system taps on the main steam lines and other space constraints. The CIVs are discussed in Section 6.2.4.

The EHVS is designed as a non-Class 1E system whose functions are nonsafety-related and not risk-significant. The EHVS is designed with the capability for the EHVS buses to be connected, through the switchyard, to any onsite main generator for operation in island mode. The EHVS equipment is physically separated from any safety related circuits and is not located near safety-related components.
The EMVS is designed as a non-Class 1E system whose functions are nonsafety-related and not risk-significant. The EMVS circuits are physically separated from safety circuits throughout the plant and EMVS equipment is not located near safety-related components.
The ELVS is designed as a non-Class 1E system whose functions are nonsafety-related and not risk-significant.The ELVS design includes upstream fault protection to the pressurizer heater circuits.
The BPSS is designed to provide electrical power to the NuScale Power Plant when AC power is not available. The BPSS is a non-Class 1E system whose functions are non-safety related and not risk-significant. The AAPS and the BDGs are designed to automatically start on a loss of 13.8 kV bus voltage and to be manually connected to provide backup AC power to the affected loads.
8.1.4.3 Regulatory Requirements and Guidance Table 8.1-1 summarizes the extent to which Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requirements and guidance relevant to electrical systems are applied in the design of NuScale electrical systems. Conformance with NRC requirements and guidance also is summarized in Section 1.9 and Section 3.1. In general, electrical systems are designed in accordance with the requirements and guidance with exceptions or clarifications noted below:
The design of the NuScale offsite, onsite AC, and onsite DC electrical systems conforms to GDC 2, GDC 4, and GDC 5 to the extent described in Section 8.2, Section 8.3.1, and Section 8.3.2. As described in Section 3.1, the NuScale design supports an exemption from GDC 17, GDC 18, and GDC 33.
The plant design complies with a set of principal design criteria in lieu of GDC 34, 35, 38, 41, and 44, as described in Section 3.1.4. The principal design criteria do not include requirements for electric power systems.
RAI 08.01-1, RAI 08.01-1S1 The AC and DC electrical power system circuits do not penetrate the containment vessels; therefore, conformance with GDC 50 is not necessary. Components requiring power inside containment are part of the instrumentation and controls systems. See Section 8.3 for details. Conformance to GDC 50 for penetrations is described in Section 3.1.5.1.The electrical penetration assembly (EPA) design conforms to GDC 50. Section 8.3.1.2.5 addresses the EPA electrical design
NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Introduction Tier 2 8.1-6 Draft Revision 1 requirements. Sections 3.8.2 and 6.2.1 address the mechanical integrity requirements of GDC 50.
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.
Section 17.6 describes the maintenance rule (10 CFR 50.65) program.
RAI 08.03.02-1 NUREG-0718, Revision 1, includes guidance related to TMI Item I.D.3 (codified in 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(v)), TMI Item II.E.3.1 (codified in 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(xiii)), and TMI Item II.G.1 (codified in 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(xx)). The design of the NuScale AC and DC electrical systems conforms to TMI Item I.D.3 to the extent described in Section 8.3.1 and Section 8.3.2.
NUREG-0737 includes guidance related to TMI Item II.E.3.1 (codified in 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(xiii)), and TMI Item II.G.1 (codified in 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(xx)). As described above for 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2), the NuScale design supports exemptions from these regulations.
Portions of NUREG/CR-0660 relevant to the NuScale electrical systems are considered as reference only, consistent with NuScale DSRS Section 8.1.
Conformance with TMI items, including those addressed in this NUREG, is described in Section 1.9.

NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Onsite Power Systems Tier 2 8.3-13 Draft Revision 1 COL Item 8.3-3:
A COL applicant that references the NuScale Power Plant design certification will describe the design of the site-specific plant grounding grid and lightning protection network.
The neutral points of the main generators, MPTs, UATs, SSTs, BDGs, and AAPS are connected to the plant grounding grid. The MPTs are solidly grounded on the primary side of the transformer. The UAT secondary winding neutrals are low-resistance grounded through a neutral grounding resistor. The secondary winding neutrals of the SSTs are high-resistance grounded through a neutral grounding resistor. The neutrals of the turbine generators, BDGs, and AAPS are connected to ground in accordance with vendor requirements.
Equipment ground connections are established by bonding equipment enclosures, raceways, metal structures, metallic tanks, and the ground bus of switchgear assemblies, load centers, MCCs, switchboards, panelboards, and control cabinets to the plant grounding grid.
The instrument and computer grounding network provides plant I&C and computer grounding through separate radial grounding systems consisting of isolated instrumentation ground buses and insulated cables. The radial grounding systems are connected to the plant grounding grid at one point only and are insulated from other grounding circuits.
Lightning protection for the plant is accomplished by providing a low-impedance path for the lightning stroke to discharge to the earth directly. The lightning protection network consists of air terminals, interconnecting cables, and downcomers connected directly to the plant ground. The lightning arresters are connected directly to ground in order to provide a low-impedance path to ground for the surges caused or induced by lightning. Surge arrestors are provided to protect the MPTs, UATs, and EMVS switchgear from lightning surges to avoid fire or damage to the plant from a lightning strike.
RAI 08.01-1, RAI 08.01-1S1 8.3.1.2.5 Containment Vessel Electrical Penetrations Assemblies RAI 08.01-1, RAI 08.01-1S1 The containment electrical penetrations are a part of the containment system. See Section 6.2.1 for discussion of containment penetrations.The NuScale design of electrical penetration assemblies (EPAs) conforms to GDC 50. This section describes the electrical design requirements for EPAs as they relate to compliance with GDC 50. The NuScale containment system, including EPAs, can accommodate the calculated pressure and temperature conditions resulting from a LOCA in accordance with GDC 50 as described in Section 6.2.1. The mechanical design requirements for EPAs are described in Section 3.8.2. The environmental qualification requirements for EPAs are described in Section 3.11.2.
NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Onsite Power Systems Tier 2 8.3-14 Draft Revision 1 The electrical penetration assemblies are designed in accordance with IEEE Standard 317-1983 (Reference 8.3-25) as endorsed by RG 1.63. EPAs are designed to withstand the maximum available fault and overload currents for the time sufficient for operation of backup protective devices in case of failure of the primary protective devices. The EPAs are provided with external circuit protection per Section 5.4 of IEEE Standard 741-1997 (Reference 8.3-26), which is consistent with the 1986 version endorsed by RG 1.63, and per IEEE Standard 242-2001 (Reference 8.3-4) with the following clarifications. Coordinated primary and backup protective devices are provided for circuits that are not self-limiting. Self-limiting circuits are not subject to energy levels that could damage the EPA. Primary and backup protective devices that protect non-Class 1E circuits are non-Class 1E. CNV 17, 18, 19, 20, which are listed in Table 6.2-4, Containment Penetrations, contain Class 1E circuits and are therefore designated Class 1E EPAs.
RAI 08.01-1 As described in Section 7.1.2, divisional separation for Class 1E circuits is in accordance with IEEE 384-1992 (Reference 8.3-16), which is endorsed by RG 1.75 Revision 3.
8.3.1.2.6 Electrical Equipment Subject to Wetting or Submergence The onsite AC power system circuits are not routed through the CNVs. Therefore, they are not subjected to wetting or submergence when the CNV contains water or steam.
None of the AC power system power cables provide power to equipment that performs a safety-related function. A loss of, or degraded condition on, the AC power system, including those due to environmental conditions, such as wetted conditions or submergence, would not adversely affect the functionality of accident mitigation systems or nuclear safety.
8.3.1.2.7 Onsite Alternating Current Power System Conformance with Regulatory Framework This section describes the extent to which the design of the main onsite AC power system, including the EHVS, the EMVS, the ELVS, and the BPSS, conforms to Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requirements and guidance. As such, the information in this section provides clarification for the associated entries in Table 8.1-1 of Section 8.1.
The applicability of NRC requirements and guidance to DC power systems, including the EDNS and its AC electrical equipment powered by inverters, and the EDSS, is described in Section 8.3.2.2.2.

System Discussion DBA Internal/External Hazard Radiological PRA & Severe Accident FP 02.01.01 NPM As required by ASME Code Section III NCA-1210, each ASME Code Class 1, 2 and 3 component (including piping systems) of a nuclear power plant requires a Design Report in accordance with NCA-3550. NCA-3551.1 requires that the drawings used for construction be in agreement with the Design Report before it is certified and be identified and described in the Design Report. It is the responsibility of the N Certificate Holder to furnish a Design Report for each component and support, except as provided in NCA-3551.2 and NCA-3551.3. NCA-3551.1 also requires that the Design Report be certified by a registered professional engineer when it is for Class 1 components and supports, Class CS core support structures, Class MC vessels and supports, Class 2 vessels designed to NC-3200 (NC-3131.1), or Class 2 or Class 3 components designed to Service Loadings greater than Design Loadings. A Class 2 Design Report shall be prepared for Class 1 piping NPS 1 or smaller that is designed in accordance with the rules of Subsection NC. NCA-3554 requires that any modification of any document used for construction, from the corresponding document used for design analysis, shall be reconciled with the Design Report.
An ITAAC inspection is performed of the NuScale Power Module ASME Code Class 1, 2 and 3 as-built piping system Design Report to verify that the requirements of ASME Code Section III are met.

NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Certified Design Material and Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria Tier 2 14.3-56 Draft Revision 1 02.08.09 EQ Section 3.11, Environmental Qualification of Mechanical and Electrical Equipment, presents information to demonstrate that the CNTS electrical penetration assemblies, including its connection assemblies, located in a harsh environment are qualified by type test or a combination of type test and analysis to perform its safety-related function under design basis harsh environmental conditions, experienced during normal operations, anticipated operational occurrences, DBAs, and post-accident conditions in accordance with 10 CFR 50.49. As defined in IEEE-Std-572-2006, IEEE Standard for Qualification of Class 1E Connection Assemblies for Nuclear Power Generating Stations, a connection assembly is any connector or termination combined with related cables or wires as an assembly. The qualification method employed for the equipment is the same as the qualification method described for that type of equipment in Section 3.11.
The ITAAC verifies that: (1) an equipment qualification record form exists for the CNTS electrical penetration assemblies listed in Tier 1 Table 2.8-1and addresses connection assemblies, (2) the equipment qualification record form concludes that the CNTS electrical penetration assemblies, including its connection assemblies, performs its safety-related function under the environmental conditions specified in Section 3.11 and the equipment qualification record form, and (3) the required post-accident operability time for the CNTS electrical penetration assemblies in the equipment qualification record form is in agreement with Section 3.11.
After installation in the plant, an ITAAC inspection is performed to verify that the CNTS electrical penetration assemblies listed in Tier 1 Table 2.8-1, including its connection assemblies, is installed in its design location in a configuration bounded by the equipment qualification record form.
