June 22, 1973 Review Status:

Awaiting Information The attached first round question list requesting additional information for the construction permit review for Grand Gulf 1 & 2 has been prepared by the Containment Systems Branch af ter having reviewed the applicable portions of the PSAR for which we have responsibilit'/. We have also reviewed the responses to certain questions previously submitted to the applicant by the mini-review.

In the course of our review, we have identified the following as significant i

review items:

1.

The analytical codel used to calculate the containment response to loss-of-coolant accidents must be presented in suf ficient detail with suitable justification to allow an independent review of the codel to be made and to assure the adequacy of containment design margins.

2.

The blowdown mass and energy rates =ust be justified as conservative for containment design purposes.

The s'hort-term blowdown is especially significant for the Grand Gulf containment as the peak drywell dif ferential pressure occurs at approximately one second post-LOCA.

3.

The objectives and design of the General Electric large scale test program must be described in detail and justified as sufficient to establish and/or confirm the Grand Gulf containment design parameters, s

l 4.

The operation of the hydrogen recirculation system must be more clearly defined to assure proper coordination with the containment spray system.

For several review areas, such as containment.'. solation valve arrange-ments and subcompartment differential pressures, we have included only minimal questions as we feel that these areas can be pursued most effectively through a meeting with the applicant. We are also continuing our review of the bypass ratter and the modeling to include a time dependent metal-water reaction rate suitable to model the provisions of Safety Guide 7.

We recocaend that such a meeting be arranged to discuss some of these matters as our review continues.

1 REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION GRAND GULF NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1 & 2 1.

PSAR Seccion 6.2.1.3.5 references GE Topical Reports NEDO-10320 and NED0-10320 Supplement 1 as the analytical model used to evaluate the Grand Gulf containment response to loss-of-coolant accidents.

(a) Since this rodel was originally developed for other BWR pressure suppression vent configurations, clarify which sections of the reports are still applicable and being used to evaluate t ie Mark III containment configuration proposed for the Grand Guli' Nuclear Station.

(b) For those parts of the containment analytical model which have been revised for the Grand Gulf analysis, provide a detaileef description of the new model including its basis, the assumptions and equations used in the analysis, and the parameter values used to apply the model to the Grand Gulf design.

(c) Discuss the specific parts of the analytical model or parametric values which. you feel require experimental substantiation or con-firmation by the large scale test program planned by the General Electric Company.

(d) Describe the procedure to be used to establish or confirm the analysis or parametric values in (c) above.

(e) Discuss the bases of the proportionality constants (scaling factor) used in scaling various parts of the test facility and demonstrate that the test f acility may be considered to be a valid simulation of the Grand Gulf and other Mark III Type containments.

2.

Table 6.2.1 and Section 6.2.1.2.2 of the PSAR provide comparisons of the maximum calculated values of containment design parameters and their design values. However, there appears to be a lack of suf ficient technical bases by which design =argins were established and there will be no significant Furk III test data until late 1973 to evaluate these margins. Therefore, provide a ' complete discussion justifying the design margins for the containment and perform the following sensitivity analyses in order that we may make a preliminary assessment of the conservatism of your containment design:

,.,c 7

,w,

t Provide curves which illustrate the sensitivity of containment response to each of the following parameters:

(a) vent resistance factors (b) drywell net free volume (c) containment net free volume (d) vent areas (e) vent submergences (f) drywell air carryover rates to the containment (g) blowdown flow and energy rates (h) suppression pool temperatures (i) steam bypass leakages between the drywell and containment (j) core heat due to delay in control rod insertion.

Each plot should show containment and drywell pressure responses as a function of time for a range of values of the parameter under consideration.

Aside from the parameter under consideration all other initial conditions and variables should be as assumed in the PSAR analysis of containment response to the DBA-LOCA. Each of the (a) through (1) parameters should be specified as to the nominal value used in the PSAR analysis, the manner by which it was determined (e.g.,

calculated or experimental) and an estimate of the accuracy to which the value of the parameter is known.

3.

Discus's the assumptions used in calculating the blowdown energy and mass rates provided on page 6.2-26 of the PSAR and provide justification that these assu=ptions maximize the energy input to the containment.

As the peak drywell-dif ferential pressure occurs. at less than 1 second post-LOCA, special consideration should be given to those assumptionc (i.e., water entrain =ent) which could have a significant effect on the short term blowdown rate.

4.

In the discussion of a main steam line break accident (PSAR Section 6.2.1.3.2) it was stated that after 4.2 seconds the isolation valves in the broken line will have closed suf.ficiently so that the valve flow area will be equal to the flow restrictor area and af ter 5.5 seconds the closure of the valves will terminate flow from one side of the break. These parameters establish the ef fective break area profile for the accident.

It appears that the above assumptions are a departure from previous BWR containment design analyses and therefore should be substantiated as follows:

(a) As the isolation valves are designed for closing times frar 3 to 10 seconds, discuss and reference any testing that hae correlated 3

n -

-n r

y

l valve closing times to the valve closing speed control setting.

Specify the sensitivity of the valve closius speed control.

(b) PSAR Section 5.5.3 states that the isolation valves are designed and installed such that performance of the valves is enhanced for forward steam flow conditions. As the valves located in the broken steam line will experience reverse high flow conditions, discuss the capability of the valves to close in 5.5 seconds or les;.

Provide or reference appropriate experimental data which supports your position.

5.

Discuss your assumptions used in calculating the blowdown mass rates and energies for the rupture of a recirculation line (PSAR page 6.2-12c) and justify them as being conservative for containment design purposes.

Specifically consider:

(a) your assumptions regarding the inventory of subcooled reactor coolant in the recirculation loops and reactor vessel downcomer regions which could yield higher, short term (less than 1 second) blowdown rates.

(b) the potential availability of uninterrupted feedwater flow which would increase the energy addition to the containment over the long term.

6.

PSAR Section 6.2.1.3.7 describes the analytical model used to compute the long term containment response to a loss-of-coolant accident.

Our review in this area indicates that the following modifications should be considered to provide a more accurate model and to account for design changes.

(a) the initial conditions assumed in this analysis (pg. 6.2-17) indicated that containment and drywell pressures were equalized due to the operation of vacuum breakers.

Since vacuum breakers have been eliminated from the containment design, your analysis should be revised to (1) return non-conden'sibles from the containment to the drywell by reverse flow through the vent system and/or (2) establish specific criteria to determine the conditions for opening the combustible gas control system recirculation inlet lines to equalize pressures.

(b) the initial conditions should also be specific as to the time after the accident for which the long term analysis becomes valid.

+w n

e, wv

1 (c) In the modeling of long term performance equation (1), page 6.2-21, indicates that the flow out of the reactor vessel, the flow out of the suppression pool, and the ECCS flow are all identical. However, information presented in other sections of the PSAR does not appear to support this position.

Pages 6.2-18 and 6.2-33 indicate that for Case B either 2 LPCI and 1 HPCS or 1 LPCI,1 HPCS, and 1 LPCS pumps will be operating. However, only the LPCI flow is directed to the RHR heat exchangers. Also, pages 6.2-18 and 6.2-32 state that the LPCI flow, af ter being cooled, can be returned to the suppression pool or injected into the reactor vessel as ECCS water.

Clearly, the above considerations would indicate that the system cannot be modeled as a single loop of constant and equal flow rates as shown on Figure 6.2-16.

Therefore, your model should be revised to account for the various possible flow paths under Case B, minimum safeguards, and the revised model used to determine the most conservative case for containment design purposes.

(d)' Equation (5) on page 6.2-23 should include a heat term for the heat removed in condensing the drywell steam atmosphere and should account for any heat addition due to operation of the recombiners.

(e) Page 6.2-25 states that equations 6, 7, 8, & 9 can be solved for s/P, yet n page 6.2-24 it was assumed that P,=P

""d D

D P ease clarify (f) The term H, submergence of the top row of vents, appears in several equations on page 6.2-25.

Discuss how values of this parameter are known, as it is not a constant and does not appear to be calculated each time step.

(g) Your long term model also assumes a single volume suppression pool at a uniform temperature throughout the pool.

This does not account for the separate volumes of' water which would occupy the drywell and the smaller volume lef t in the suppression pool, nor does it consider the temperature gradients associated with these volumes. Your model should be revised to more accurate _f describe the phenomena, or you should provide justification for your present model by demonstrating that it is a more conservative approach.

(h) The long-term model should account for operation of the containment sprays.

s i

PSAR Section 6.2.1.3.9 provides a table of core decay heat rates used i

in the containment response analysis. Discuss the bases used to calcu-late these values and confirm that the bases are at least as conservative as the methods set forth in the October 19 71 draf t Proposed ANS Standard Decay Energy Release Rates Following Shutdown of Uranium-Fueled Diermal Reactors assuming an equilibirum fuel cycle and increasing the calculated heat inputs as follows:

3 (a) For the time interval 0 to 10 seconds, add 20 percent to the heat released by the fission products to cover the uncertainty in their nuclear properties.

(b) For the time interval 10 to 10 seconds, add 10 percent to the heat released by the fission products to cover the uncertainty in their nuclear properties.

7 (c) For the time interval 0 to 10 seconds, calculate the heat released

'by the heavy elements (using the best estimate of the production rate for Grand Gulf 1 & 2) and add 10 percent to cover the un-certainties in their nuclear properties.

8.

Page 6.2-3 of the PSAR is not clear as to the design value of drywell negative differential pressure.

(a) State the design negative differential pressure of the drywell.

(b) Compare the design value to the peak calculated negative differential pressure of 21 psi as to the available margin and the basis for the margin.

(c) The PSAR states (pg. 6.2-8) that following reactor vessel reflood, ECCS flow out the break will condense drywell steam and cause a rapid depressurization. Provide the applicable experimental data and/or analytical models, assumptions, and parameter values used to calculate the condensation rate. Discuss the significance of a less rapid or incomplete depressurization of the drywell.

~

9.

PSAR Section 6.2.1.3.7 states that during the long term response of the containment, ECCS water will spill out the pipe break and flood the drywell up to the top of the weir wall.

Provide the following additional infor=ation concerning this phenomena-(a) Since the drywell floor does not have a liner, discuss the i

potential for water leakage from the drywell and depletion of suppression pool inventory. Specify all sumps, drains, or piping which could provide leakage paths from the drywell floor to the outside of containment.

i

-(b) Discuss the design features which are provided to monitor suppression pool inventory during the post-accident period.

10.

The discussion of vent' areas on pg. 6.2-4 of the PSAR requires clarification. Clearly demonstrate, with' the aid of drawings if 3

necessary, how the ngt free vent area (552 f t") and the net free vent annulus area (528 f t') are calculated.

Provide drawings which detail the weir vall, vent. and suppression pool geometry and which indicate the safety / relief valve discharge line routing and support, 11.

Provide the following additional information concerning the contain-ment spray system:

(a) Provide complete details of the analyses performed to size the containment sprays.

(b) For the spectrum of potential energy releases to the drywell discuss the restrictions on use of the containment sprays due to interlocking with other functions of the Residual Heat Removal System.

(c) PSAR Section 6.2.5.5 states that there is a time delay which ensures that the hydrogen mixing system will not be initiated until the resulting bypass energy is within the capability of the containment spray system. Specify the time delay and demonstrate that this will be an allowable time to start recircula-tion for the spectrum of potential energy releases to the drywell.

12.

Clarification of PSAR Section 6.2.1.3. 3, describing intermediate size primary system breaks, is required as follows:

(a) The value of vent submergency used in the analysis, 9'10",

l does not appear to agree with information given on PSAR page 6.2-4, which would yield 8'10',' as the submergence.

(b) The PSAR states that pressurization of the containment will be terminated af ter about 250 seconds and would stabilize at about 7 psig. However, Figure 6.2-12 shows the containment pressure steady at about 3 psig.

13.

Specify the range of primary system break sizes which are considered "small breaks" as discussed in PSAR Section 6.2.1.3.4.

14.

Clarify the statement on page 6.2-16 of the PSAR which says that for drvwell_ design purposes the combination of primary system pressure and containment pressure which produces the maximum superheat condition -

is used.

15. Why are sensib3 3 heat energy inputs to the suppression pool, as shown on Figu: e 6.2-17, only evaluated down to 212*F?

16. Provide details of the calculations of the net positive suction head for the three RRR pumps as tabulated in Table 6.3.4.

Include your assumptions for suppres,-lon pool water level.

17.

Figure 6.2-14 shows a peak suppression pool temperature of 182*F while the design basis of the containment heat removal system is to limit peak temperature to 185*F.

Discuss the basis for selection of the design temperature of 185'F.

Justify the adequacy of a 3*F margin and since containment pressure is a function of suppression pool temperature, relate the significance of pool design conditions to containment design parameters.

18.

Discuss the various responsibilities and interactions between the General Electric Co=pany, Bechtel Corporation and Mississippi Power and Light Company for the Grand Gulf containment design.

Discuss the extent of participation and independent assessment which will be performed by Bechtel and Mississippi Power and Light for the large scale hbrk III testing program.

19. Specify the searce of supply air for all pneumatic systems located in the contaiamo.nt or drywell and specify any separate containment control air systems, if provided.

Justify that your calculations of containment pressure response to a design basis loss-of coolant accident are conse.rvative assuming that all Category 11 air lines located witbin pri=ary containment fail at the time of the design basis loss-of-coolant accident.

20.

Describe the suppression pool liner coating materials to be used for your plant, the qualification testing of the materials that has been perfor=ed and the test results, data on the use of the material on other plants, if applicable, and proposed surveillance programs which will monitor the condition of the coatings and liner metal during the lifetime of the plant. Also indicate if inhibitors or chemical additives are used in the suppression p' ol water.

o 21.

The following items requiring correction have been noted in our review:

(a) parameters listed on pg. 6.2-21 and on Figure 6.2-16, e.g., mdo' qRx, qd' 9, do not have consistent definitions or units.

e (b) page 6.2-11 refers to the drywell and containment pressures stabilizing at 12 and 7 psia, respectively.

These pressures should be in units of psig. A similar correction is necessary on pages 6.2-14 and 6.2-15.

e (c) page 6.2-12 refers to vacuum breakers equalizing pressures.

As vacuum breakers are not included in the design, this state =ent should be corrected.

(d) Table 6.2.3, Case B, Long Term shows one LPCS and no LPCI pumps operative while page 6.2-18 indicates that either 2 LPCI or 1 LPCI and 1 LPCI would be operative.

(e) In Table 6.2.5, item #5, maximum positive dif ferential pressure occurs, and #14, containment reaches peak pressure, are not con-sistent with Figures 6.2-9 and 6.2-15.

22.

Discuss the proposed surveillance systems and administrative procedures by which the leak-tightness of the containment can be continuously monitored.

23.

With respect to the reliability of containment isolation valves, describe the basis upon which tha valves and valve operators will be selected.

(a) For the reactor water cleanup system lines (PSAR page 6.2-9),

specify what amount of blowdown fluid is an acceptable value for the containment and describe how the break detection and

~

i isolation systems limit possible blowdowns to this value.

(b) Substantiate your statecent (PSAR page 6.2-9) that an instrument line rupture would release more fluid to the containment than TIP or CRD line ruptures. TIP line isolation arrangements should be included in Table 6.2.7 and on Figure 6.2-19a.

26.

Provide plan and section drawings which detail the arrangement of RHR system suction and return lines to the suppression pool.

(b) Describe in detail how the mixing system will be used to relieve drywell vacuum.

Include the number of valves opened, the dif-ferential pressure at which the valves will be opened, the capa-bility of the operator to effectively respond to the conditions outlined in (a), and plant conditions for which the operator will not be allowed to open valves.

30. PSAR Section 6.2'.5.2.1 states that the relatively high discharge velo-city of the recirculating fans and the effects of diffusion and con-vection will maintain uniform concentrations of hydrogen in the con-tainment following a loss-of-coolant accident. Justify your position as follows:

(a) Describe the types of analyses that were performed to demonstrate adequate mixing throughout the drywell, containment, and all sub compa rtments.

(b) Discuss the bases used to establish the flow rate of the recir-culation fans.

1 (c) Discuss additional means of ensuring mixing such as periodic actuation of the containment sprays.

(d) Discuss any limitations on the initiation of the mixing system due to pressure differentials between the drywell and the containment.

31. Deleted 32.

Flow paths connecting various parts of the drywell may be restricted i

due to the arrangement of piping, gratings and equipment.

Discuss the manner by which this effect was considered in calculating the drywell response to the loss-of-coolant accident.

33.

Describe how the following containment design parameters were established:

(a) the distance between the drywell wall and containment wall; (b) the distance between the weir wall and drywell wall;

34.

The contain=ent pressure response profile Figure 6.2-9, indicates that choked vent flow may be experienced for a time period following vent clearing.

Specify whether the vent flow at this time is choked or unchoked and discuss in detail the analytical techniques used to determine the condition of the flow. Provide a curve of vent flow versus time corresponding to Figure 6.2-9.

35.

Provide curves of suppression pool water level as a function of time (0 to 106 seconds) for the design basis loss-of-coolant accident.

These curves should illustrate the level of water in the containment, the weir wall annulus, and the drywell, and all relevant assumptions should be, clearly stated.

36. Assuming that both recombiners are unavailable and that purging is the only means for post-accident combustible gas control, specify the required times and rates of purging and demonstrate that the combined accident radiological dose due to containment leakage and purging does not exceed 10 CFR 100 guidelines.

37.

Describe and discuss the possible plant conditions where the con-tainment and drywell ventilation, purge and cooling systems may be essential, following an accident, in order to prevent or citigate the consequences of the accident.

In addition, the above response should also include a discussion of the range of failures or mal-functions considerad during the design as well as the specific design criteria ti.

11 be followed in order to be assured that no failure or malfunction to the system will result in offsite exposures comparable to those in 10 CFR 100.
