SUBJECT:

SUMMARY

OF DECEMBER 18,1997, MANAGEMENT MEETING WITH WESTINGHOUSE TO DISCUSS DESIGN CERTIFICATION SCHEDULE FOR THE AP600 The subject meeting was held la the Rockville, Maryland, office of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission between representatives of Westinghouse anct the Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff. Attachment 1 is a list of meeting attendees. Attachments 2 and 3 are the handouts provided during the meeting by the staff and Westinghouse respectively.

The purposs of the meeting was to discuss the schedule for the AP600 review. The meeting was one in a series of meetings scheduled in the October through December time frame to discuss the progress of the review, and to elevate schedule impact issues to management's attention as soon as possible.

The meeting began with a discussion of the status of the review. The staff provided a status of the review by Chapter (See attachment 2) and also a breakdown of the final safety evaluation report (FSER) open items by Chapter. The staff's total count of FSER open items to date was 365 while Westinghouse acknowledged receipt of 301 FSER open items. The discrepancy between the counts was partly explained by recently issued items that had not yet been counted in the Westinghouse total.

Westinghouse indicated that it had responded to 162 of the staff's FSER open items. There was a concem expressed about the resolution process for the items. Westinghouse proposed meetings with individual branches to discuss the status of the FSER open items that had been submitted by Westinghouse. Westinghouse believed that this procest was working well in the inspections, tests, analyses, and acceptance criteria, review and that a similar process could be used to elevata issues that the staff and Westinghouse did not agree on to management's attention. The staff and Westinghouse took an action to determine the best approach for resolving FSER open items. Westinghouse and the staff also agreed to have weekly senior manager phone calls and a management meeting in January to discuss the sistus of the review, t

2 January 7, 1998 Westinghouse also expressed concem over some of the FSER cpen items they had received.

Specifically, they were concemed that some issues did not appear to meet the threshold of FSER open items. They also expressed concem with the timeliness of an FSER open item on 4 WCOBRA/ TRAC for long term cooling concoming a time gap in the code from the end of quenching to the beginning of IRWST injection. Westinghouse bellaved that this question should have been addressed earlier in the review. Westinghouse also expressed concem that they had not yet received comments from the containment systems branch on the shutdown evaluation report and shutdown technicas specifications. Westinghouse was concemed the individual involved with developing questhns may ask questions that were more relevant to the proposed shutdown rule, and not to the curresit regulations.

The stati and Westinghouse discussed some of the key issues in the review. The staff took an action te provide Westinghouse a position on the time allowed to take a post accident sample, and indicated that the staff's position would be different than the position taken for the evolutionary designs. Westinghouse believed the nurce term issue needed management attention for resolution. The staff and Westinghouse also agreed that several other items may require management attention in order to be resolved. Attachment 4 contains the list of items and a brief explanation of the issue.

The staff informed Westinghouse that the schedule paper for the AP600 final design approval was in concurrence and was expected to be issued to the Commission in the near future. The staff and Westinghouse also discussed the ACRS concems with the code development program that resulted from the ACRS meeting of December 9,1997, through December 12,1997. The staff indicated that their FSER open items in this area had incorporated some of the ACRS concems where it was possible. Westinghouse indicated that it would coontinate with the ACRS the resolution of the commitments it had rnade during the ACRS meeting.

A draft of this meeting summary was provided to Westinghouse to allow them the opportunity to comment on the summary prior to issuance, original signed by:

lasues that may resulm mananoment attention for resolution:

ASME Classification of the CVCS System Piping .

- The CVCS for the AP600 consists of reactor coolant pressure boundary piping that Westinghouse wants an exemption from classifying under ASME Section Ill. The staff is considering the Westinghouse proposal.

Treatment of Pressure Isolation Valves Tha staff believes that several system valves in reactor coolant piping penetrating the containment should be treated as PlVs even though the valves do not meet the conventional definitions of PlVs. - Westinghouse has not agreed to incorporate the valves requested by the staff. The staff is reconsidering its position Safety Classification of Containment Coatings in a November 21,1997, letter, Westinghouse stated that the coatings uted in the vicinity of the containment recirculation screens will be classified as safety related & all other coatings inside containment are classified as nonsafety-related.

Based on a preliminary review of Westinghouse's response, the division of engineering does not agree with Westinghouse and believes that all coatings inside containment need to be classified as safety related.

Concems about Westinghouse QA controls The staff and ACRS have found errors in documentation and submittals related to the AP600 project which reflects on the overall quality of the Westinghouse application. The staff has not yet d2cided what action is necessary in this regard.

ITAAC Westinghouse has not provided sufficient information for many ITAAC despite repeated requests by the staff.

The ITAAC cannot be completed until all of the open items that affect the design are resolved e Source Term

. Westinghouse has pcoposed an attemative to using NURr s values for EQ, shleiding, vital area Lccess, and equipment survivability, i,,e proposal is under staff consideration.

NOTRUMP

' The staff has only reviewed the AP600 verQn of the NOTRUMP code relative to changes from tne approved 1985 version of the pode. The ACRS has recently questioned whether this approach was 6dequate in consideration of changes made to the 1985 code numerics.

The staff is formulating its posit;on en this concem.

2-WCCBRNTRAC

- The staff is concemed that it cannot approve the use of WCOBRA/ TRAC for AP600 when the docst>nentation of the code for operating plants has not yet been completed.
