SUBJECT:

SUfHARY OF MEETING HELD ON JUNE 13, 1980 A meeting was held in Bethesda, Maryland with the above named members of the Boiling Water Reactor - Licensing Review Group (BUR-LRG).

The purpose of the meeting was to brief the staff on the development of concensus positions on RSB and ICSB open issues from the LaSalle docket. The list of attendees for this meeting is provided in Enclosure 1.

The meeting began with a review of the organization and function of the BWR-LRG. Copies of the agenda and viewgraphs are enclosed. The BWR-LRG had met for several days prior to the meeting to develop concensus positions on open issues from the LaSalle docket. The results of this effort were provided as LRG draft working papers on ICSB and RSB open issues (see enclosures).

Two of the issues, RSB-ll and RSB-20, were used as examples to describe the working papers. These working papers will be reviewed in detail at subsequent meetings with representatives of the respective review branches at a future date.

Similar working papers will be developed for open issues from other review branches and for TMI issues.

LRG DRAFT WORKING PAPER 6/13/80 ISSUE RSB-2 Control Rod System - (4.6.2)

As a result of eliminating the control rod drive system return line, we are reviewing generically.with regard to the-impact on control rod drive system performance.

Consequently, we require the applicant submit sy' stem performance data directly applicable to La Salle and will require the applicant to conform to the conclusion of the generic study as. applicable to La Salle.

POSITION (Common) 1.

Remove the CRD return line and cap the vessel -nozzle.

Acceptability is demonstrated by GE analysis of CRD performance characteristics.

2.

The CRD line is left routed to the vessel.

The line is administratively closed by valving it out during operation. CRD performance must be demonstrated.

i

\\

3.

The CRD return line is rerouted to another vessel entry point (e.g. feedwater line).

CRD performance is unchanged, assuming acceptable return path established.

IGSCC is corrected by the reroute.

NOTE: 1.

The LRG members acknowledge the receipt of the NRC letter " modifications to Boiling Water Reactor Control Rod Drive Systems" in March,1980 and will factor the concerns of the letter into their documented positions.

2. GE Letter reports dated March 14, 1979 (G.G. Sherwood to V. Stello/R. Mattson) and May 2,1980 (R. Gridley to
0. Eisonhut) address all NRC concerns for vessel makeup capability.

The applicant analyzed a coincident instantaneous closurg of a flow control' valve during a LOCA which resulted in a 300 F increase in peak clad temperature.

We requested that this accident be reevaluated considering more realistic valve closure dynamics.

POSITION (Common - BWR/5 Only)

No additional analysis is required because the failure described represents a non-mechanistic failure mode.

In reality, for all failure modes except valve hydraulic system failure, the valve fails as is, which is physically limited to at least 20% open.

If the hydraulic system fails, the valve will drift closed, but at a design rate of no more than 10t 1% per second.

The applicant's analysis for the failure of-the feedwater controller indicates that the temperature drop is no greater than 100F.

At a domestic boiling water reactor an actual feedwater temperature occurred which demonstrated a temperature difference of 150 F.

The applicant must justify the decrease in temperature drop used for this event or recalculate the transient by using a justified tempera-ture decrease to assure conformance with applicable criteria.

LRG DRAFT WORKING PAPER 6/13/80 ISSUE RS8-20 Use of Nonreliable Equipment in Anticipated Operational Transients

( 15.1 )

la analyzing anticipated operational transients, the applicant took credit for equipment which has not been shown to be reliable.

Our position is that this equipment be identified in the technical specifications with regard to availability, setpoints and surveil-lance testing.

The applicant must submit its plan for implementing this requirement along with any. system modification that may be required to fulfill the requirement.

POSITION (Common)

This issue is related to a long time concern by the NRC Re:the use of non-safety grade equipment to mitigate transients.

Many questions were asked on many dockets relative to:

a)

Credit for Non class 1E relief function vs. IE safety functions setpoints.

b)

Credit for RPS inputs from the turbine b1dg.

c)

Credit for Level 8 turbine trip and turbine bypass system.

As a result of this concern GE and the NRG met (Nov. 78) for a comprehensive review of all such transients and as a result of that meeting, determined the most limiting " event" which takes credit for non-safety grade equipment was the excess feedwater transient relying on the L-8 turbine trip and turbine bypass.

NRC concurred-that providing technical specifications for the L-8 trip and the turbine bypass Nalves satisfactorily resolves this issue.

All LRG plants commit to this except Fermi-2.

The applicant included the use of non-safety grade equipment in his analyses for shaf t seizure and shaf t. break accidents.

We require tha t these accidents be reanalyzed without allowance for the use of non-safety grade equipment.

POSITION (Common) 1.

The evaluation basis for the subject event was reviewed and accepted on the Zimmer docket (SER 15.2).

2.

A qualitative assessment of the event without reliance on non safety grade equipment suggests that the applicant's conclusion (i.e. the event is bounded by the nRA LOCA event) would not change.

3.

The non-safety grade equipment in question have been reviewed in item RSB-21 and steps have been taken to improve their reliability.

4.

No further analysis is required.

.RSB-22 ATWS (15.2.1)

We require that the applicant agrees to implement plant modifications on a scheduled basis in conformance with the Commission's final resolution'of ATWS.

In the event that La Salle starts operation before necessary plant modifications are implemented, we require some interim actions be taken by La Salle in order to reduce, further, the risk-from ATWS events.

The applicant will be required to:

1)

Develop emergency procedures to train operators to recognize an ATWS event, rod position indicators, flux monitors, vesselincluding consideration of s level and pressure indicators, relief valve and isolation valve indica tors, and containment temperature,- pressure, and radiation indicators.

2)

Train operators to take actions in the event of an ATWS including consideration of immediately manual scramming the reactor by using the manual scram buttons followed by changing rod scram. switches to the scram position, stripping the feeder breakers on the reactor protection system power distribution buses, opening the scram discharge volume drain valve, prompt actuation of the standby liquid control system, and prompt placement of the RHR in the pool cooling mode to reduce the severity of the containment conditions.

POSITION (Common)

ATWS RPT plus procedure will be proavided by Fuel Load.

NOTE:

All LRG applicants are willing to implement alternate 2 on a best effort schedule as the basis for final resolution of the ATWS issue.
