Mike, Please show (W) Status for Open item 373 as: " Closed." Please REPLACE the Status Detail with: " Closed - As l

indicated in the " Main Feedwater Line" portion of SSAR Section 3B.2.3, Revision 7, the problems of feedwater l

control valve instability hae been minimized in AP600 by design. The AP800 will use valves with specialized l

inm specified; variable speed feedwater pumps; startup feedwater control valves and lines to supply feedwater at lower feed (power) demand levels; and a refinement of the standard feedwater control scheme which reduces potential feedwater transients."

Thanks Jim x5290 l

e In addition to information contained in SSAR, section 10.4, Revision 6, Appendix 3B, Revision 7, i

addresses the potential for water hammer in feedwater lines. The "Ma'm Feedwater Line" portion of SSAR subsection 3B.2.3 addresses a number of design features included in the main and startup feedwater system, piping, components and control that minimize the potential for water hammer. The potential for water hammer during startup is muumized by having a starmp feedwater system separate j

from the main feedwater system. This startup system can not add cold water to the hot main feedwater system, is sized appropriately for startup, has control valves and other features designed for startup service, is routed to minimize geometric sources of water hammer, and feeds a steam i

generator nozzle and feed spray system separate from the main feed ring. This item is closed, i

A Prerequisites The construction testing and preoperational testing at cold conditions have been successfully completed for the reactor coolant system, chemical and volume control system, passive core cooling system, normal residual heat removal system, main feed water system, startup feed water system, steam generator system, and steam generator blowdown system. All piping and components within the reactor coolant system and steam generator system pressure boundaries and their associated supports and restraints have been inspected and determined to be installed as designed. Additionally, permanently installed support devices have been verified to be in their expected cold, static poritions and temporary restraining devices such as hanger locking pins have been I

removed. The instrumentation required for remote measurements for this testing is installed and the as built locations and orientation of measuring instruments are documented.

General Test Method and Acceptance Criteria During hot functional testing, tests are performed to verify that safety-related and high-energy piping system components, piping, support, and restraint deflections are unobstructed and within design basis functional requirements.

These tests verify that thermal movements for safety-related piping supports, whose system operation temperature exceeds 250*F, are within design specifi-ews,t:m caArt.ess cowwAn N

passive core cooling system steam generator system (including any safety-related portions of main a

steam system, main and startup feedwater systems, and steam generator blowdown synem) normal residual heat removal system a) Thermal expansion testing during the preoperational testing phase consists of displacement measurements on the above systems during heatup and cooldown of the reactor coolant system and associated systems (including heatup and cooldown of the passive core cooling system). The testing is in accordance with the requirements specified in subsection 3.9.2 and consists of a i

combination of visual inspections and local and remote displacement measurements. This testing includes the inspection and measurement of i

deflection data and support thermal movements to verify of support swing clearance at specified heatup and cooldown intervals; that there is no evidence of blocking of the thennal expansion of any piping or components, other than by installed supports, restraints, and hangers; that spring hanger movements remain within the hot and cold setpoints; that moveable supports do not I

become fully retracted or extended; and that piping and components return to their approximate baseline cold positions.

l b) Vibration testing is performed on safety-related and high-energy system piping and components during both cold and hot conditions to demonstrate that steady-state vibrations are within acceptable limits. This testing is performed in accordance with the g\\
