- 1. The response to question A.1 in the licensee's March 20, 1997, submittal i indicates that there is a requirement to choose a cycle Tave that is consistent with the analyzed Tave window. Where is the requirement (to choose a Tave greater than 575 F) contained?
- 2. The response to question A.2 in the licensee's March 20, 1997, submittal indicates that there is significant conservatism in the initial conditions and analysis approach. Please provide a more detailed discussion of the conservatism in the initial conditions and analysis approach. Please include a specific discussion of the following issues:
The limiting case for the old analysis is used for the new analysis.
Justify why this is acceptable considering the plant now has new emergency operating procedures (E0Ps), new steam generators, and a new analysis method. Be sure to justify why the sir;gle failures chosen for the different cases remains bounding considering the changes in the procedures, plant configuration, and analysis methods.
Page 9 of the original submittal (November 13,1996) states that the secondary mass and 3ressure are derived from the revised nominal Tave.
Why is the use of tie nominal Tave more appropriate than a conservative value?
- 3. The response to question A.3 of the March 20, 1997, submittal indicates that the 1973 standard decay heat curve is used; however, the safety evaluation for the referenced topical report indicates that 120 percent of the 1971 ANS decay heat rate is to be used. Please describe why the 1973 standard decay heat curve is acceptable.
- 4. With regard to the choice of initial power level in the accident analysis, the discussion 3rovided in response to question A.5 of the March 20, 1997, submittal and t1e discussion in the original submittal November 13, 1996) is not consistent with the discussion in the topical report and the safety evaluation for the topical report. Please provide a more rigorous justification for the initial power chosen. Include a complete discussion of the different effects contained in both the topical report and the submittals for this ast .iption. Include the effects for both the original and the replacement steam generators.
- 5. Please explain why the initial steam generator volumes are different for
! the OTAT and the low 3ressurizer pressure cases in Figure 7 of the November 13, 1996, su)mittal.
l
- 6. The November 13, 1996, submittal indicates that the analysis assumptions are being revised because the E0Ps are being modified. Please verify that the equipment and instrumentation relied on to identify and mitigate the tube rupture is all safety-related.
