OFFICIAL USE ONLY - PROPRIETARY INFORMATION May 15, 2018 Mr. Tim Hanley, Chairman ATTN: Debbie Rouse BWR Vessel and Internals Project 1300 West W.T. Harris Boulevard (Building 1)

Charlotte, NC 28262

SUBJECT:

SUPPLEMENTAL DRAFT SAFETY EVALUATION RELATED TO BWRVIP-62-A, BOILING WATER REACTOR VESSEL AND INTERNALS PROJECT, TECHNICAL BASIS FOR INSPECTION RELIEF FOR BWR INTERNAL COMPONENTS WITH HYDROGEN INJECTION USE OF ONLINE NOBLE METAL CHEMISTRY IN BOILING WATER REACTORS

Dear Mr. Hanley:

By letter dated January 24, 2018 (Agencywide Document Access and Management System Accession No. ML18033A323), the Boiling Water Reactor Vessel and Internals Project (BWRVIP) stated that the BWRVIP had issued the following interim guidance to its members:

U.S. plants utilizing all forms of HWC [hydrogen water chemistry] and crediting HWC shall meet the conditions and limitations of BWRVIP-62-A. In the case of plants utilizing OLNC [online noble metal chemistry], this means they shall meet the Category 3a NMCA [noble metal chemical addition] parameters and implementation steps (including platinum loading) of Tables 3-5 and 3-8. This guidance is issued as NEI 03-08 Needed guidance.

Based on its review of the information submitted by the BWRVIP, the NRC staff finds the use of OLNC acceptable subject to the limitations specified in the NRC safety evaluation (SE).

Enclosed for BWRVIP review and comment is the NRC staff draft SE.

Pursuant to Section 2.390 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), we have determined that the enclosed draft SE may contain proprietary information. If you believe that any information in the enclosure is proprietary, please identify such information line-by-line and define the basis pursuant to the criteria of 10 CFR 2.390. After 10 working days, the draft SE will be made publicly available, as appropriate, and an additional 10 working days are provided for you to comment on any factual errors or clarity concerns contained in the draft SE.

The final SE will be issued after making any necessary changes and will be made publicly available. The NRC staff's disposition of your comments on the draft SE will be discussed in the final SE.

NOTICE: The enclosure transmitted herewith contains Proprietary Information. When separated from enclosure, this transmittal document is decontrolled.
