VEGP-FSAR-1 In addition to the above clarifications, the operations QAP (section 17.2) conforms with Regulatory Guide 1.37 for modification activities only with the following clarification.
(For operation and maintenance activities, cleanliness will be maintained per VEGP position on Regulatory Guide 1.33.)
1.
Paragraph C.3 of Regulatory Guide 1.37.
The water quality for final flushing of fluid systems and 9
associated components shall meet the requirements of ANSI N45.2.1-1973, but this does not infer that chromates or other additives normally in the system water will be added to the flush water.
2.
Paragraph C.4 of Regulatory Guide 1.37.
This paragraph includes requirements that chemical compounds which are to be used with austenitic stainless steels and nickel-based alloys should not contain chlorides, flourides, lead, zinc, copper, sulfur, or mercury where such elements are leachable or where they could be released by breakdown of the compounds under expected environmental conditions.
n.icu ofgthis requirement, To mcET for expendable consumable materials which are to be used in contact with austenitic stainless steels and g
nickel-base alloys, VEGP shall establish prescribed maximum levels of water leachable contaminants (chlorides, total halogens, sulfur, etc.)
These levels shall be established so as to prevent any contribution 16 to intergranular cracking or stress-corrosion cracking that could occur.
Criteria for approving the use of a specific type or product of consumable material at VEGP include the requirements that its water leachable contaminant content is below the prescribed maximum level and that it does not contain these contaminants as basic and essential chemical constituents.
Approved for use consumable materials are delineated in a controlled specification.
Refer to the clarification made to paragraph 3.6 of ANSI N45.2.2 - 1972, FSAR paragraph 1.9.38.2, for a further discussion of the use of consumable materials at VEGP.

Paragraph 3.6, Barrier and Wrap Materials and Desiccants.
This section contains requirements that;
" Barrier and Wrap Materials shall be non-halogenated 1
when used in direct contact with austenitic stainless steels, shall be noncorrosive, shall not readily support combustion, and shall not be otherwise harmful q_g gg g gp to the item packaged."

_in
__pthe requirement for
^
this material being nonhalogenated, VEGP shall establish a prescribed maximum level for water k
leachable halogen content for barrier and wrap materials to be used in contact with austenitic stainless steels.
In general, VEGP shall establish prescribed maximum levels for any water leachable contaminants contained in any consumable materials which are to be used in contact with austenitic stainless steels and nickel-based alloys.
The levels for water leachable contaminants shall be established so as to prevent any contribution to intergranular cracking or stress corrosion cracking that could 16 occur.
At VEGP, only the specific products or types of consumable materials which have undergone an engineering evaluation and have been approved as qualified will be used in contact with austenitic g
stainless steels.
Criteria for approving the use of a f
specific type or product of consumable material include the requirements that its water leachable contaminant content is below the prescribed maximum level and that it does not contain these contaminants as basic and essential chemical constituents.
Approved for use consumable materials are delineated in a controlled specification; while consumable materials specified or supplied by a component vendor that are not covered by this specification shall be used only for the application and in the manner specified by the vendor's drawings, technical manuals, or other official documentation.
Refer to the clarification of Regulatory Position C.4 of Regulatory Guide 1.37, March 1973, contained in FSAR paragraph l.9.37.2 for further discussion of the use of consumable materials at VEGP.
