Letter from NuScale Power, LLC to Nuclear Regulatory Commission, NuScale Power, LLC Submittal of the NuScale Standard Plant Design Certification Application, Revision 3, dated September 22, 2019 (ML19241A315)

During several public teleconferences with the NRC Project manager and NRC reviewers, NuScale Power, LLC (NuScale) discussed potential updates to Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR), Tier 1, Section 3.11, Reactor Building and Section 3.13, Control Building, and Tier 2, Section 3.8.4, Design of Category I Structure and Section 14.3, Certified Design Material and Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria. As a result of this discussion, NuScale changed Tier 1, Sections 3.11 and 3.12 and Tier 2, Sections 3.8.4 and 14.3. The Enclosure to this letter provides a mark-up of the FSAR pages incorporating revisions in redline/strikeout format. NuScale will include this change as part of a future revision to the NuScale Design Certification Application.

This letter makes no regulatory commitments or revisions to any existing regulatory commitments.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Nadja Joergensen at 541-452-7338 or at njoergensen@nuscalepower.com.

NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Design of Category I Structures category I steel structures. Load combination comparisons are performed on a case by case basis between AISC N690-1994 including Supplement 2 (2004) and AISC N690-2012 for verification that AISC N690-2012 provides the governing case.

Appendix 3B, Reactor Building and Control Building Design Approach and Critical Section Details, provides results for selected sections of both the RXB and CRB.

Section 3.8.5.5 identifies acceptance criteria applicable to additional basemat load combinations.

RAI 03.08.04-1, RAI 03.08.04-1S1 The RFT stand and upper support structure are Seismic Category I (SC- I) structures, and are designed and demonstrated via analysis to meet the requirements of an SC-I structure. They are therefore designed and analyzed to meet the requirements of supporting the lower reactor pressure vessel during an SSE, and to meet the requirements of Subsection NF of ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section III, Division 1 (Reference 3.8.4-9) rules and criteria. The load combinations used for the design of the structural members are shown in Table 3.8.4-23.

RAI 03.08.04-1 Per Subsubparagraph NF-3256.2(a)(1) of ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section III, Division 1, Rules for Construction of Nuclear Facility Components, 2013 Edition (Reference 3.8.4-9), the allowable stress limits for full penetration welds shall not exceed the allowable stress value for the base metal.

3.8.4.5.1 Design Summary Report RAI 14.03-3 A design summary report is prepared for Seismic Category I structures documenting that the structures meet the acceptance criteria specified in Section 3.7 and Section 3.8.

RAI 14.03-3 Deviations from the design due to as-procured or as-built conditions are acceptable based on an evaluation consistent with the methods and procedures of Section 3.7 and Section 3.8 provided the following acceptance criteria are met:

RAI 14.03-3

  • the structural design meets the acceptance criteria specified in Section 3.8, and RAI 14.03-3
  • the in-structure seismic response spectra meet the acceptance criteria specified in Section 3.7.

RAI 14.03-3

  • the seismic demand meet the acceptance criteria in Section 3.7.

RAI 14.03-3 Deviations from the design are tracked as required by 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control.

Tier 2 3.8-78 Draft Revision 4

NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Design of Category I Structures RAI 14.03-3 Depending on the extent of the deviations, the evaluation may range from documentation of an engineering judgment to performance of a revised analysis and design. The results of the evaluation will be documented in an as-built summary report.

RAI 14.03-3 A Design Summary Report is prepared that documents the results of a reconciliation analysis of the cumulative effect of changes between the approved design and the actual design basis loads and as-built structural components to demonstrate that (1) the computed demand continues to be within the capacity of the structural component and (2) the as-built in-structure seismic response is enveloped by the in-structure seismic response in the approved design.

RAI 14.03-3 The Design Summary Report documents that the Seismic Category I structures meet the acceptance criteria specified in Section 3.7 and Section 3.8.

RAI 14.03-3 Deviations from the design are tracked as required by 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, and are evaluated consistent with the methods and procedures of Section 3.7 and Section 3.8. Deviations include changes outside applicable tolerances in load, dimension, and configuration between the approved design and as-built structure.

Depending on the extent of the deviation, the evaluation may range from documentation of the basis of an engineering judgment to inclusion of the change in the performance of a revised analysis. The results of these evaluations will be documented in the Design Summary Report.

3.8.4.6 Materials, Quality Control and Special Construction Techniques 3.8.4.6.1 Materials The principal construction materials for structures are concrete, reinforcing steel, structural steel, stainless steel, bolts, anchor bolts and weld electrodes.

Table 3.8.4-10 provides the specifics of the materials considered for the structural design.

3.8.4.6.1.1 Concrete Structural concrete used in the Seismic Category I RXB and CRB conforms to ACI 349, as supplemented by RG 1.142, and ACI 301. The majority of the structural concrete has a minimum compressive strength (f'c) of 5000 psi. The exception is the external walls of the RXB which require a higher compressive strength of 7000 psi.

Specific concrete mix will be developed based upon site conditions. Concrete mixes are designed in accordance with ACI 211.1, using materials qualified and accepted for this work. The mix will be based on field testing of trial mixtures Tier 2 3.8-79 Draft Revision 4

RG 1.197 allows two options for CRE testing; either integrated testing (tracer gas testing) or component testing. Section 6.4 Control Room Habitability, describes the testing requirements for the CRE habitability program. Section 6.4 provides the maximum air exfiltration allowed from the CRE.

In accordance with Table 14.2-18, a preoperational test using the tracer gas test method demonstrates that the air exfiltration from the CRE does not exceed the assumed unfiltered leakage rate provided in Table 6.4-1: Control Room Habitability System Design Parameters 14.3-55 for the dose analysis. Tracer gas testing in accordance with ASTM Certified Design Material and Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and E741 will be performed to measure the unfiltered in-leakage into the CRE with the control room habitability system (CRHS) operating.

03.01.02 CRH The CRHS valves are tested by remote operation to demonstrate the X capability to perform their function to transfer open and transfer closed under preoperational temperature, differential pressure, and flow conditions.

In accordance with Table 14.2-18, a preoperational test demonstrates that each CRHS valve listed in Tier 1 Table 3.1-1 (Table 14.3-4a) strokes fully open and fully closed by remote operation under preoperational test conditions.

Preoperational test conditions are established that approximate Acceptance Criteria design-basis temperature, differential pressure, and flow conditions to the extent practicable, consistent with preoperational test limitations.
