SUMMARY

OF JANUARY 9,1975 M.1 TING WI'IH APPLICANT TO DISCUSS RESPONSES

'ID STAFF'S REQUESTS FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION On January 9,1975, representatives of WPPSS and Etasco mt with the Regulatory staff in Bethesda. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the responses to the staff's requests for additional infonration. A list of attendees and an agenda are attached as Enclosures No.1 ard No. 2 respectively.

We asked WPPSS for a clarification of the respmse to Item 110.7 regarding mecMnical engineering. We questioned the use of Psat instead of the P for compressed or saturuted water. In their o

explanation, Ebasco pointed out that the KPA analysis was not used to verify the adequacy of the design. We requested that the response to Item 110.7 be revised to clear up any possible misinterpretation of the analytical technique. WPPSS replied tMt the response would be revised accordingly.

In a discussion about the response to Iten 110.9, we inquired about the equation for m1 minting jet impingement force. We renarked tMt the definition given for the velocity rutio used in this section m s not clear. WPPSS infonned us that the response would be revised to reflect the discussion.

We requested clarification of the calculations in the msponse to Item 110.11, WPPSS stated that all of the results presented in this response would be converted to the KPA fonut.

In a discussion about the respmse to Item 110.5, we asked whether the guard pipes treated in this response would be subjected to pressure testing. Ebasco replied tMt the guard pipes will be pressure tested.

WPPSS stated tMt the response to Item 110.5 will be mvised to provide a reference to the proper section in the PSAR where the pressure testing is discussed.

, We comented that the response to Item 110.13 in Section 3.9 contains material which apparently conflicts with the yield stress discussion in Appendix 3.9.A.

WPPSS stated that the conflict would be removed with a revision of Table 3.9-3.

We expressed confusion over the response to Item 110.17 in Appendix 3.9.B on page 3.9-2.

We stated that it is necessary to clarify which criterion is actually being used. WPPSS infomed us that the requested clarification will be provided.

In a discussicn about the post-IDCA mdiologim1 dose mienlations, we infomed WPPSS that our preliminary calculations resulted in unacceptably high doses under 10 CFR Part 100 guidelines. In a comparison of the values of the input pammeters, a discrepancy as noted between the bypass leakage assumptions used by Ebasco and the assumptions that we had used. Ibrther comparison yielded significant differences in the two sets of input X/Q values. Our X/Q values were nuch higher than those used by Ebasco. WPPSS and Ebasco agreed to review the meteorological data used to mlonlate the X/Q values. Further discussions will be held after this review of the meteorological data is completed.

We inquired about the distance between the exhaust headers of the Shield Building Ventilation System. WPPSS provided the requested inforation and agreed to either indicate the locations m an appropriate figure in the PSAR or to provide a reference to a figure already containing the infomation.

The respmses to Items 331.1,14,16,.9,.11,.12,.14,.15, and.18 regartling mdiological assessment were discussed. WPPSS stated that the necessary clarification or additional information would be provided.

We presented our cerments on the Ivsponses to the requests for additional information regartling effluent treatment systems. Continuous nonitoring of hydrogen in the gaseous radwaste system, monitoring of radiation levels in process and effluent streams during postulated accidents, and the combining of liquid wastes into a solid matrix were discussed.

We informed WPPSS that Section 13.2.2 contained material regartling the operator retraining program and requalification progmm that is more suitable for an operating license application. WPPSS replied that this material would be deleted from the PSAR.

The responses to requests for additional information regartling containment systems were discussed. We stated that the response to Item 042.15 as given in CESSAR is considered unacceptable. In addition, we discussed the staff's position on purge valve opemtion. We infomed WPPSS that the requested information conceming aluminum items inside containment had not been provided.

- We asked WPPSS about the status of the dose analysis requested by Item 422.1 regarding emergency planning. WPPSS stated that the requested information was scheduled for subnittal in early Felruary,1975.

In reply to our question about their consultant's report on industrial security, WPPSS stated that this report was scheduled for subnittal in Marr.h, 1975. We informed WPPSS that our safety evaluation in these two areas could not be prepared without the requested information.

We expressed our concem that the recent reorganization of WPPSS could cause difficulty in preparing staff positions on quality assurance.

Finally, draft positions concerning naterials engineering and reactor systems were discussed.

This test sample is not permitted. The interim alternate Regu-latory position 4.b. states: "When the production weld is below the minimum acceptable level of delta ferrite, a sample of the weld shall be removed, and a metallographic examination or a bend test shall be made on a transverse section to determine the presence or absence of excessive fissures....." Confirm that if Regulatory position 4.b. is J

followed as an alternate, the testing will be of the pro-duction welds.
