or the systems described therein.
3.
Please provide all documents which describe, comment upon or evaluate the ruel Pool Cooling and Dem 7erali.9er System, the Emergency Standby Subsystem, or other the systems described in "Vermont Yankee Proposed Technical Specification Change for New and Spent Tuol Storagc," dated June 7, 1988, including but not limited to consultants' reports, ard engineers' reports, safety evaluations, or design change packages.
i 4.
Please provide all documents which describe or other-j wise portray (as in the form of drawings, diagrams, schematics,
-4 l
engineering drawings, etc.) the systems described in the "Vermont Yankee Proposed Technical Specification Change for New and Spent Fuel Storage," dated Jtsne 7, 1988.
E.
Please describe in detail your schedule for completing th losign, installation, and testing of the system described in the "Vermont Yankee Proposed Technical Specification Change for New and Spent Fuel Storage," ir';luding but not limited to the date this system is expected.to be operational.
6.
To the best of your knowledge, is the system described in the "Vermont Yankee Prop (- ted Technical Specification Change for New and Spent Fuel Storage" similar to any used in other nuclear power plants?
If yes, please identify those plants, dercribe their systems, and describe any differences in Vermont Yankee's proposal from those systems.
7.
Please produce copies of the technical specifications for the existing Vermont Yankee spent fuel pool cooling system.
8.
Please identify and describe every change in the tech-nical specifications for the Vermont Yankoo Nuclear Power Plant that will be required by the "Vermont Yankee Proposed Technical Specification Change for New and Spent Fuel Storage."
9.
Please identify the sources for the following design bases for the Fuel Pool Cooling and Domineralizer System described in the "Vermont Yankoo Proposed Technica?. Specification l
Change for New and Spent Fuel Storage," (A-1, A-2), including but not limited to NRC regulations, regulatory guides, NRC Staff l
l l
-S-positions, or the Licensee's engineering judgment, and describe or explain in detail what you plan to do in order to meet these regulatory remtirements or standards:
3 Power Generation Desian Bases 1.
The Fuel Pool Cooling and Demineralizer System shall minimize corrosion product buildup within the spent fuel pool and shall maintain proper water clarity, so that the fuel assemblies can be efficiently handled underwater.
2.
The Fuel Pool Cooling and Demineralizer System shall minimize fission product concentration in the spent fuel pool water, thereby minimizing the radioactivity which could be released from the pool to the Reactor Building environ-ment.
3.
The Fuel Pool Cooling and Demineralizer System shall monitor fuel pool water level and maintain a water level above the fuel sufficient to provide shielding for normal building occupancy.
4.
The Fuel Pool Cooling System shall be capable of maintaining the spent fuel pool temperature below 150 F.
A.4 Safety Desian Basin The Fuel Pool Cooling and Demineralizer System shall be designed to remove the decay heat from the fuel assemblies and maintain fuel pool water temperature at a level which will help maintain the Reactor Building environment within the bounding limits of the environmental qualification of electrical equipment.
10.
Please explain in detail how the Emergency Standby Sub-system satisfies each of the requirements of 10 C.F.R. 5 50.49 to ensure operability after exposure to a harsh environment.
11.
Please identify and list all components of the Emer-gency Standby Subsystem.
For each of those electric components, please identify those that are environmentally qualified pursuant to 10 C.F.R. 5 50.49.
. 12.
For each of the qualified components listed above, pro-vide the following information:
(a)
Identify and deecribe the performance specifica-tions under conditions exist 13.g during and following design basis accidents (b)
Identify and describe the voltage, frequency, load, and other electrical characteristics for which the per-formance specifications identified in the preceding paragraph can be met; (c)
Describe the environmental conditions, including temperature, pressure, humidity, radiation, chemicals, and sub-mergence et the locations where the equipment must perform during an accident; (d)
Produce the service environment charts or any other documentation showing the postulated accident conditions for which each component will be qualified.
If none is avail-able, axplain why this documentation is not available and state when it will be available, (e) produce the equipment qualificacion file and any j
other documentation required by 10 C.F.R. 55 50.49(d) and 10 C.F.R. 5 50.49(j) for each component.
If none is available, l
explain why this documentation is not available and state when it will be available.
13.
Describe how the system described in the "Vermont i
Yankee Proposed Technical Specification Change for New and Spent i
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ -, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _. ~ _ _ _ _ _ _
e z
}
. Fuel Storage" is designed to survive a safe shut-down earthquake, and remain operational following the safe shut-down earthquake.
Identify all NRC regulations, regulatory guides, staff positions, or engineering judgments relied upon to conclude that the system is designed to survive a safe shut-down earthquake.
1%.
Identify and describe all changes in the technical specifications of the Emergency Standby Subsystem.
If there will be no changes, explain how you intend to justify your surveil-lance, inspection, and testing requirements.
15.
Describe how the Emergency Standby Subsystem, including all cables and instrumentation used in the system, will be located or designed to prevent common mode failure from fire, flooding and missiles.
Provide any drawings, schematics, or other documentation that describes the fire, flooding, and mis-sile protection designs.
16.
Please identify all standards, including but not limited to NRC regulations, regulatory guides, NRC Staff posi-tions, or the Licensee's engineering judgment, that you complied with in order to conclude that the Emergency Standby Subsystem is located or designed to prevent common mode failure from fire, J
flooding and missiles, and describe or explain in detail what you have done in order to meet these regulatory requirements or stan-dards.
17.
The "Vermont Yankee Proposed Technical Specification Change for New and Spent Fuel Storage" states that the Fuel Pool
. Cooling and Demineralizer System (FPCDS), centrifugal pumps, related piping and valves, will be of corrosion resistant material.
Describe the metallurgical composition of all com-ponent parts of the FPCDS, and describe your program for monitor-ing and controlling corrosion in all component parts of the FPCDS.
