SUBJECT:

. -- BASIS FOR REAYER VALLEY 2 FEEDWATER ISOLATION ON l

HIGH STEAM GENERATOR LEVEL DESIGN REQUIREMENTS ..

Plant Name:

Docket No.:'

Beaver Valley 2 50-412 i

[

Licensing Status: OL Responsible Branch: LBf3 Project Manager: L Lazo Review Branch: ICSB Review Status: Incomplete -

In Section 7.3.3.12 of the Beaver Valley 2 draft SER ICSB expressed a concern that the design of feedwater isolation on a high steam generator level -did not meet the requirements of paragraph 4.7 of IEEE-STD-279.

The applicant's response to that concern, dated March 28, 1984, stated that IEEE-STD-279 is not applicable to the issue.

I In response. ICSB stated, in our Licensing Position il for Beaver Valley 2 dated April 30, 1984, that either the design of the feedwater isolation on a high steam generator level be modified to meet the re-quirements of IEEE-STD-279 or an analysis be provided to show that the consequences of feedwater addition not being terminated by the high steam generator level signal are not safety significant. In a May 30, 1984, response, the applicant claims that ICSB's position is a new requirement and should be processed in accordance with NRR procedures for plant specific backfitting.

ICSB has reviewed the epplicant's claim and believes that the char-acterization of this issue as a backfit is inappropriate. As stated in ICSB Licensing Position #1, the applicant, in Chapter 15 of the Beaver Valley 2 FSAR, takes credit for feedwater isolation on a high steam generator level signal and identifies this isolation action as an engineered safety feature actuation function. Consistent with this, the applicant, in Section 7.3 of the FSAR, has identified IEEE-STD-279 as an acceptance criterion for the feedwater isolation func-tion and has further claimed to meet those requirements (specifically including paragraph 4.7 of IEEE-STD-279). ,

ICSB's position oti this issue is based on our reiriew following the ,

guidance of Sections 7.1 and 7.3 of the NUREG-0800 (SRP) to confirm )

that the design of the feedwater isolation function satisfies the .

requinsments of the appropriate acceptance criteria. We, therefbre, ~.

conclude, based on the doc 6 tion provided by the applicant's . _ ;-

FSAR, that this should not be considered a new nquirement (backfit)a -"

and we again request that the applicant respond to ICSB Licensing Post- -

tion il on this issue. -
