Letter, Request for AdditionalInfonnation (TAC No. M79517), A. Adams, Jr.
USNRC, to P.B. Perez, NCSU, dated 9 February 1995
Dear Sir or Madam:
North Carolina State University is submitting the answers to your reference request for additional information. This transmittal consists of the following documents:
o Updated Safety Analysis Report, Amendment 11,4 September 1995 o
Technical Specification, Amendment 11,4 September 1995 i
o Operator Requalification Program, Revision 6,24 April 1995 The PULSTAR facility Emergency Plan, Revision 3, has been submitted separately as a 10CFR50.54(q) change to the Commission on September 15,1995. The Physical Security Plan, Revision 7, was approved on 4 August 1995. As a result, these two documents are not included in this transmittal.
Discussion A summary of the changes to the Safety Analysis Report (SAR) and facility Technical Specifications is included in this transmittal to aid tha review process. The following discussion specifically addresses the responses to the request for additional information.
Updated Safety Analysis Report The Updated SAR includes two new safety analyses. SAR Section 13.2.1.5 addresses a Heat Exchanger Pressure Boundary Breach and Section 13.2.1.6 provides the bases for a Technical Specification limit on Fueled Experiments.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (2) 15 September 1995 Document Control Desk
' Appendix 13A has been added to the SAR and includes the November 1992 submittal to the Commission responding to a request for additional information involving off-site dose calculations. All radiological calculations and references have been updated to reflect changes in 10CFR20. Facility changes and upgrades performed under 10CFR50.59 have been incorporated in this revision of the SAR. The SAR has also been updated to include most recent statistical information for population and meteorological data.
Section 3 and 13 of the SAR have been revised to include historical pulsing information to support reactivity excursion analyses. The differences in reactivity requirements for a given pulse energy is explained in Section 3 of the SAR.
~ Technical S >ecifications
' The LCO for pool temperature has been replaced with an LSSS to provide automatic
- protec;ic at 117'F. A new LCO describing the allowable core configuration has been s.
added. The reunaining Technical Specification changes were minimal in substance and can be suramarized as reflecting the SAR updates and changes.
~
Operator Reaualification Plan The attached Requalification Plan incorporates the applicable portions of 10CFR55.59. The oral and demonstration exam format was developed using NUREG-1478 as a guide.
Conclusion
. The attached licensing documents constitute NCSU's response to the Commission's request for additional information. ' lease feel free to contact me at (919) 515-4602 if you have any
- questions or comments.
