SEQUENCE PRECURSOR (ASP) ANALYSIS t

Reference:

NRC letter to TVA dated June 10, 1993, " Preliminary Accident Sequence Precursor (ASP) Analysis-for Sequoyah Nuclear Plant l

Units 1 and 2" The purpose of this letter is to provide comments in accordance with the j

above reference. The following comments are separated by event and page j

number.

l Ser,11on B.18. Licensge Event _Aepor.t (LER) No. 327/92-027.

j Page B-315, Section B18.1 Summary: This event did not occur as a result l

of a loss of offsite power. The breaker fault caused an undervoltage condition. This undervoltage condition caused the reactor. coolant pumps i

to trip, which caused each unit to trip.

S.ettion_B11L_LEJ1 No. 328/92-010 Page B-334,.Section B.19.4, Modeling Assumptions:

It appears that only-f two of the three cases that were run for this event are included in'this i

package. The conditional core damage frequency for having the diesel j

generator and residual heat removal pump failures for 17 hours1.967593e-4 days <br />0.00472 hours <br />2.810847e-5 weeks <br />6.4685e-6 months <br /> is shown on pages B-336 and B-338 as 2.0 E-6 +.2.6-E-7 = 2.3'E-6..

Additionally, the model allows no credit for_the safety injection pumps at SQN being available in addition to the centrifugal _ charging pumps for high-pressure injection. The exclusion of this modeling assumption from i

the ASP model will raise the core damage frequency for SQN.
