Subject:

REPORT ON THE FLUOR PCWER SERVICES INCORPORATED BALANCE-OF-PLANT STANDARD SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT (BOPSSAR) AS APPLIED TO THE BABCOCK-205 STANDARD NUCLEAR STEA'4 SUPPLY SYSTEM

Dear Dr. Hendrie:

Curing its 226th meeting, February 8-10, 1979, the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards reviewed the application of Fluor Power Services Incorporated (formerly Fluor Pioneer Inc.) for Preliminary Design Ap-proval of its BOPSSAR, a standard nuclear balance-of-plant (BOP) de-signed to interface with a single-unit Babcock and Wilcox Company Babcock-205 standard pressurized-water reactor nuclear steam supply system (NSSS). Se Fluor BOPSSAR design has previously been reviewed by the Committee in relation to the Westinghouse RESAR-41 standard NSSS.

B e Committee's report en this review is dated July 20, 1977.

W e Com-mittee's report on the Babcock and Wilcox Company Babcock-205 standard NSSS is dated August 18, 1977 Se BOPSSAR design as applied to a Babcock-205 NSSS was considered at a Subcommittee meeting in Washington, D.C. on January 26, 1979.

During its review, the Committee had the benefit of discussions with representatives of Fluor Power Services Inc.

and the NRC Staff. Se Comnittee also had the benefit of the documents listed.

The Committee believes that the BOP design proposed in BOPSSAR is ac-ceptable for a Preliminary Design Approval.

W e Committee believes, however, that the several items mentioned in its report on BOPSSAR in relation to RESAR-41 are applicable also to the use of BOPSSAR with Babcock-205.

R ese matters should be addressed by the NRC Staff and the Utility-Applicant, as appropriate, during the review of an appli-cation for a construction permit for a nuclear plant utilizing the BOPSSAR and Babcock-205 standard designs. t ese items include: separa-tion of critical safety-related equipment; safety-related interface requirements; coordination of interdependent instrumentation and controls; provisions for protection against industrial sabotage; and provisions which anticipate the maintenance, inspection, and. operational needs of the plant throughout its service life.

7903150l&O

W Honorable Joseph M. Hendrie February 16, 1979 With regard to the generic items cited in the Committee's report, " Status of Generic Items Relating to Light-Water Reactors:

Report No.

6," dated November 15, 1977, those items considered relevant to the use of BOPSSAR with a Babcock-205 NSSS are:

II-2, 58, 6, 9; IIA-4; IIC-1, 2, 3A, 3B, 4, 5, 6; IID-1, 2; IIE-1.

'Ihese matters should be dealt with by the NRC Staff and the Applicant, as appropriate, when solutions are found.

The Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards believes that, if due con-sideration is given to the foregoing and to the recommendations in the Committee's report of August 18, 1977 on Babcock-205, Preliminary Design Approval can be granted for the use of BOPSSAR in conjunction with Babcock-205.

Sincerely yours, Mh M /%

Max W. Carbon Chairman
