LICENSEE:
Duquesne Light Company (DLC)

SUBJECT:
SUMMARY
OF MAY 18,1999, MEETING WITH DLC STAFF TO DISCUSS TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST TO REVISE i
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION LIMITING SAFETY SYSTEM SETPOINTS (TAC NOS. MA4616 AND MA4617)
On May 18,1999, Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff met with representatives of DLC and Westinghouse to discuss DLC's License Amendment Request to revise Technical Specification (TS) Limiting Safety System setpoints to be more conservative. Specifically, to discuss technical aspects of the methodologies used by DLC to determine the new setpoints.
The licensee had requested this meeting. Enclosure 1 is a list of meeting attendees. Enclosure 2 is a copy of the handout material.
DLC provided a brief background of their identification of the non-conservative values in the current TSs, and the administrative controls put in place to ensure safe operation. Additionally, DLC discussed the setpoint methodology used in determining the new setpoints, and provided a summary of the changes made by the requested amendment (Enclosure 2). Based on questions asked by the NRC staff, the licensee provided the following clarifications or additional information:
DLC's changes to the analyses incorporate site specific uncertainty values, rather than the original generic Westinghouse values; the methodologies used in the new analyses, however, are unchanged from the NRC approved methodologies (WCAP-11419 for f
BVPS-1 and WCAP-11366 for BVPS-2).
(,{ 74 Uncertainties of instrument / test equipment used in surveill&nces are included in the setpoint analyses.
Deletion of lag compensation terms from the OPAT and OT6T equations in the BVPS-1 TSs is required in order to reflect the actual plant hardware configuration. The RTD bypass was physically removed by a previous modification. RTDs are now in the loop such that no time lag for transport time is required. The BVPS-2 TSs still include the lag compensation terms, and are conect, because this hardware modification was not installed in BVPS-2.
Westinghouse has performed a detailed statistical analysis of racn drift. Both BVPS-1 and BVPS-2 have experienced less drift than assumed in the uncertainty calculations.
Therefore, instrument rack performance is bounded by the uncertainty calculations.
