SUMMARY

OP 182ND GENERAL MEETING OF ACRS TO CONSIDER THE WNP-1,4 APPLICATION On June 6,1975, the full casumittee of the Advisory Commaittee on Reactor Safsguards (ACRS) met with representatives of the applicant (WPPSS or Supply System) and the NRC staff (staff). The purpose of the meeting was to consider the WPPSS application for a construction permit for the W'iP-1,4 facility. A list of those persons who participated in the meeting is included as Attachment A to this report. Copics of the visual aids presented by the applicant at the meeting are included in the transcript of the meeting.

The meeting is sumanarized in the following sections.

1.0 Introduc_ tion and General Description by WPPSS D. Renberger of WPPSS described the Supply System status as a municipal corporation and a joint operating agency of the State of Washington.

Ec described the WPPSS organization, and in response to a question by Mr. Arnold, described which unbers of the current organization would retaain on the UNF-1,4 project as it moved into the operation and maintenance period.

Washington Public Power Supply System of utilization of sodium hydroxide as a containment spray additive, the effectiveness of the additive, and what experimental work has been done to verify its effectiveness. He also discussed the staff's evaluations of the effectiveness of sodium hydroxide in removing methyl iodide. Dr. Stratton requested (Tr 243-12) that the staff perform and asport on calculations to evaluate ' sodium hydroxide effectiveness assuming best estimate iodine removed factors rather than the most conservative (least iodine removal) assumptions.

3.2 Applicant's Status Report A. Eosler reported that the applicant considered that five of the eight issues addressed in the staff report were completely resolved pending fornal documentation by the applicant in a PSAR amendment.

D. Renberger presented n====ary report on a meeting of industry and utility participants at the EPRI offices in Palo Alto, California, concerning the aging requirements in IEEE Std. 323-1974. He reported that the result of the meeting was a coordinated industry-wide approach being developed that would probably propose a graduated implementation of the aging requirements. Daughter standards for different equipment types would be developed from lEEE Std. 323 and would be implemented as they are developed. Mr. Renberger noted that WPPSS prefers this graduated implementation rather than a withdrawal of the standard.

3.3 Applicant's Technical Presentation A. Hoeler described the facility general layout and site demography.

R. Chitwood discussed site hydrology as affected by potential dam failures, and included consideration of the possible construction of the Ben Franklin dan. Off-site and on-sito power systems were described by N. Porter of the Supply System. Estimates were given of the probability of loss of all off-site power to the facility. Fe poisted out that in the-unlikely event of total off-site power loan, the reactor plant is designed to decrease power level acteuatically to 15 per cent power, at which level the plant supplies its own power r.eed s.

SUMMARY

OF 182ND GENERAL MEETING OF ACRS TO CONSIDER THE WNP-1,4 APPLICATION On June 6, 1975, the full committee of the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) met with representatives of the applicant (WPPSS or Supply System) and the NRC staff (staff). The purpose of the meeting was to consider the WPPSS application for a construction permit for the WNP-1,4 facility. A list of those persons who participated in the meeting is included as Attachment A to this report. Copies of the visual aids presented by the applicant at the meeting are included in the transcript of the meeting.

.__,The meeting is summarized in the following sections.

1.0 Introduction and General Description by WPPSS D. Renberger of WPPSS described the Supply System status as a municipal corporation and a joint operating agency of the State of Washington.

He described the WPPSS organization, and in response to a question by Mr. Arnold, described which members of the current organization would remain on the WNP-1,4 project as it moved into the operation and maintenance period.

2.0 Report by the Staff T. Cox described the eight open items remaining in the review. He noted that since the issue of Supplement No. 1 to the SER on June 2, 1975, all but three issuer have been resolved with at least verbal commitment on the part of the applicant to meec the pertinent staff position.

3.0 Discussion Items 3.1 Contairner.t Spray Additives W. Pasedag of the staff presented answers to questions raised by the ACRS Subcommittee at the May 16, 1975 meeting. He discussed the extent l

l l

t Washington Public Power Supply System of utilization of sodium hydroxide as a containment spray additive, the effectiveness of the additive, and what experimental work has been done to verify its effectiveness. He also discussed the staff's evaluations of the effectiveness of sodium hydroxide in removing 4

methyl iodide.

Dr. Stratton requested (Tr 243-12) that the staff perform and report on calculations to evaluate sodium hydroxide affectiveness assuming best estimate iodine removed factors rather than the most conservative (least iodine removal) assumptions.

3.2 Applicant's Status Report A. Hosler reported that the applicant considered that five of the eight issues addressed in the staff report were completely resolved pending formal documentation by the applicant in a PSAR amendment.

D. Renberger presented a summary report on a meeting of industry and utility participants at the EPRI offices in Palo Alto, California, concerning the aging requirements in IEEE Std. 323-1974. He reported that the result of the meeting was a coordinated industry-wide approach being developed that would probably propose a graduated implementation of the aging requirements. Daughter standards for different equipment types would be developed from IEEE Std. 323 and would be implemented as they are developed.

Mr. Renberger noted that WPPSS prefers this graduated implementation rather than a withdrawal of the standard.

3.3 Applicant's Technical Presentation A. Hosler described the facility general layout and site demography.

R. Chitwood discussed site hydrology as affected by potential dam failures, and included consideration of the possible construction of the Ben Franklin dam. Off-site and on-site power systems were described by N. Porter of the Supply System. Estimates were given of the probability of loss of all off-site power to the facility. He pointed out that in the unlikely event of total off-site power loss, the reactor plant is designed to decrease pawer level automatically to 15 per cent power, at which level the plant supplies its own power needs.

K. Suhrke of B&W addressed the accident sequence posed by the ACRS Subcommittee at the May 10, 1975 meeting. Reactor safety was to be evaluated in the event of a unit trip, loss of all off-site power and subsequent failure to start of both diesel generator emergency power sources. He discussed heat removal by natural circulation in the i

reactor coolant loop and simultaneous forced circulation in the steam i

piping by the steam-turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump. Mr. Schrke reported that the plant could be maintained safely, with the core covered by water, under the postulated conditions for at least ten hours, during which time off-site or on-site emergency power could be restored to terminate the transient conditton. The discussion included resulte of specific natural circulation tests performed at the Oconee Unit 1 facility, which testing has been reported to NRC in the Oconee Unit 1 Startup Report, Supplement.1, dated May 15, 1974.

Mr. Suhrke also described the differences between the WNF-1,4 NSSS and that presented in the Bellefonte and Greenvocd arplications. The identified dif ferences were few, including number of contrpi rods and control rod wor'h, emergency safety fG4tures actuation system (ESFAS) t

?

logic, effective dates of applicable k$Mt rodes. num'oer of ESFAS channels, and method of automatic initiation of core flood tank i

isolation valves.

Mr. HoGler discussed the WNF-1,4 containment design, and described pressures developed within the containmaat for several postulated

(

pipe rupture accidents. The distribution of thermal utergy within r

containment structural components af ter an accident was diccussed.

Containment subcompartment differen~tial pressures were discussec.

W. Bainard, of WPPSS, described plant design steps the applicant is implementing to reduce personnel experure during operation and maintenance of the facility, with special emphasis on the W7F3S activities underway to assure minimum exposera due to required in-service inspections. He described on improved inflatable seal assembly that will be used to close the space between reactor vessel and refueling canal prior to filling the refueling canal with water.

This seal is expected to more than pay for itself during the life of the plant in reduced personnel exposures, tased on the current NPC assigned value of $1,000 per man rem. He also described efforts te reduce pressure head removal time, and to develop nheuical cleaning methods that would redcce residual activity in componcats and piping.

l At Dr. Kerr's suggestion, the full coumittee declined tu hear a planned presentation on industrial security since the subject was discussed at the Subcommittee meeting.

4.0 ACRS Concerns During the course of the meeting, a number of concerns were expressed by ACKS members. The following is a list of those which were raised but not completely resolved at the meeting:

Schwencer, Chief, Light Water Reactors Eranch 2-3, DEL W!!P-1,4 FACILITY FINA"CING A lawsuit was filed Thursday, 5/29/75, in Seattle, calling for cancellation of an agrecrent between Scattic City Light Co. and LTPSS for partietw. tion in WPPSS-1, 4, 3, and 5 facilities. The basis for the suit is that Seattle City Light did not write its own environmental impact statemnt to the state on the proposed agreenent. (See attached newspaper article.)

One potential effect of the action could be to delay City Light'a participa-tion in the fundint of the L%T-4 LWA work planned to start later this calendar year.

D. Renberger. Technical Division Manager, does not feel that there would be any delay in initiatina LWA work at the k%T-1 plant location. runds for that effort are aircady available, and in fact, funding for LWA work at V'T-4 nay be assured through options that allow other utility

- acbers of kTPSS to provide the funds originally expected fron Scottic City Light Cortpany.

Farther developrent of t!.is situation vill be nonitored for its potential effect cn our fina: cial qualifications review now undervey.
