In order that we may continue our review of you( rGESSA_Pfapplication a
additional information on those matters set fortn in the enclosure is needed.
To maintain our licensing review schedule, we will need a completely adequate response by May 9, 1974. Please inform us within 7 days after receipt of this letter of your confirmation of the schedule or the date you will be able to neet.
If you cannot meet our specified date or if your reply is not fully responsive to our requests, it is highly likely that the overall schedule for completing the licensing review for this project will have to be extended.
Since reassignment
.of the staff's efforts will require completion of the new assignment prior to returning to this project, the amount of extension will most
)
likely be greater than the extent of delay in your response.
{
l The questions in the enclosure have been grouped by sections that

30 Design of Structures. Comnonents, Iouinment and Srstems 3 160 The analysis of containment vacuum breaker sizing presented in response to question 3 133 requires the followin6 additiona:
3 information:
a) clarify the inconsistency between Table 3.8 4 and Table 6.2-19 b) specify the signals which actuate the containment, spray system and describe the operation of the time delay device which trecludes simultaneous operation of both i
f core and containment sprays.
2 c.)
specif r the flow area of the vacuum breaiers in teres of h/ Nri'.
1 d) justify your assumption of an air-vapor mixture flowing through the drywell vacuun breakers since air-only flow would re.nove more noncondensibles from the containment.
e) in regard to Figure 3.8-34, discuss the reasons for the drywell pressure lassing.the containment pressure by more than 0 5 psi, the setpoint. for the drywell vacuum a
broa':e rs.
f) discuss the steam condensation rates which were assicned to the containment sprays and heat sinks.
g) for t.e ;ostulat4:d rupture of t?.e Reactor '.7ater Cleanup System (7llCU) line it appears t5at the displacement of containment air into the drywell could cenerate a high drywell pressure signal and cause isolation of the r.otor operated valves which are in series with the coats. intent vacuum brea::ers as discussed on page 3.8-4h of GESSA2.
Containment spray operation could reduce the containment pressure below atmospheric.
The preseure could go be.Jond the containment design nesative internal pressure of
-0.8psig (P 3. ^-4) since the spra,"s would not affect the drywell pressure, and the isolation signal to t'e motor operated valves would be caintaired.
Discuss the need for and availability of containment vacuum relief under these conditions.

3 162.2 Provide similar information as outlined in 3.162 for the case of a small break LOCA followed by actuation of the Automatic Depressurization System (ADS).
3.163 section 311.2.1.3.2 of G2SSAR indicates the local environ-s ment for a steam line break inside the containment and out-side the dryttell.

In addition,. discuss the considerations given in-the selection of the environmental envelhpes for the effects of localized steam impingement and/or spray water cuch a.; that which. night occur to couipment located in the containment as a result of direct drywell bypass.
3 164 Table 3.11.1 in CTSSAR lists the accident environment for safety related systems located in the drywell.
Justify 1
-3 psig as the assumed minimum pressure f or the drywell i
since the drywell relief valves are not designed as engineered safety features.
It is our position that 30 psig s!;euld be used for the maximum design internal pressure.
Also revise page 3 11-7 to be consistent with these values.
The ecm-bustible gas control systets should be included in Table 3 11.2.
3 165 The response to suestion 3 68 is incomplete.
The magnitude and the oscillatory nature of the LCCA forces are not pre-sentod-in Figure 4.2-10 as stated in Section 3 0.1 5 Deceribe the LOCA fo*cing function acting on reactor internal structures.

3 166 The. response to Question 3.55, referenced G.E.. Topical Report NEDE-10813, "PDA-Pipe Dynamic Analysis Progran for Pipe-Rupture Movement.".A preliminary staff review cf this report has resulted in the following questions:
3.166.1 The sinplified system rodhling of the piping and the re-asstatedin"EDE-lOY13maybeacceptable.straint for corputinr th 1
However nunerical examples providing comparison with representative so,lutiens using nore rigorous dynamic analysia and/or suitable enperi-mental results are necessary to der.onstrate the adequacy of the prorosed methods, The staff requires a cercittent to provide representative numerical examples durin.; the PSAR stage of individual plant reviews to justify ~the simplified analytical models ecployed, 3.166.2" As indicated in NEDE-10313, the pipe whip restraint desirn i
is based on analyses using an enorgy balance approach, che state of ::aximum stress or strain of the restraint is based on the computed aximum: deformation at the end of the first

quarter cycle of the. response.
'ionever, in certain circ';.-
stances nanicum deformation may occur latar than the first quarter c;cle of response.
'/!e agree that the rebound si:nld not cause uajor concern when the restraint remains elastic and will still have ample desicn margin to absorb additi nal energy.
However, reben.nd may cause a problem if the restrair.t i
reaches'its fsesign limit but the bro':en pipe is still in t'.e i
elastic state.
.In addition some studies indicate t' at re-bound may occur due to the e,ffects of the 1-itial tr=nsient of the jet thrust.

6.91 In a letter from J. A. Hinds to 2.C. De?oung dated Ja.uary 30, 1974 jou have described the analytical modeling used to calculate the blow-down from a postulated recirculation line break for drywell pressare response analyses.
The codel is seperated into s' ort and long-term periods ' tith res;ect to its treatmer.t of th loop side of the breel,t.e mass flow from the recirculation 1
The *.:odel applies a flow coeffi:1e.t of 0 5 to the 1:cody correlation for the loop side nr.til the inte: rated mass releave equals the iritial loop esas inventory.
After depletion, the loop-ride unss fic; is based o-i<cody flow t5 rough an arca equivalent to ten jet pump nozzles and the cleanup line.
.7e have. reviewed the above modeling techniques and currently believe that:
a)
The assumption of jet pump-cleanup line restricted f' o is acceptable it the lo.c term.
b)
The use of the 0 5 coefficient in the short tert is not j
acceptable and the following alternate assumptions should be considered for the short term:
1) the recirculation loop should be modeled as a single and separate volume with the initial subceoled :a:sr mass aid energy equal to the inventory of the 1 cop.
ii) the break area associated with this tolute should equal the area of the recirculation pipe.
{
iii) the mass flux out the break should be co=puted based on the Moody correlation.
iv) mass addition to the volume should be eemputed based on the arca of ten jet pump nozz1cs and t'. e cle nup line with the corresponding differential presse.re between the reactor vessel cnd the single node simulation of the recirculation loop.

-c i
The above model should be used until the mass flow out the break is rectricted by flow t'rouch the jet pump nozzles and the cleanup line, at which time the long-term nod'el becor.es appropriate.
In either case the total ~ mass and energy addition to the drywell is tFe sum of the cohtri-i butions from the recirculation loop side and reactor. vessel side of the break as describcd in the.above referenced letter.
Therefore, in regard to the G3SSAR application i
provide the following information:

Show separately t'e contributions fron the vessel and loop

In addition, justify your assumption of 75% spray efficiency considering the effects of the steam / air ratio in the containment.
16.96 The following inconsistencies have been noted in GESSAR regarding the lons-term containment response.and RHR heat i
exchanger capabilities.
Revise G S.9AR as @ pro
. provide. consistent information in these areas:priate to a)
Table '6.2-15 indicates the time of containrcent peak i
pressure as 30,560 seconds //hich is not consistent tiith Table 6.2.4, page 6.2-64 or Figure 6.2-11.
b)
The RHR heat receval rate shown on Figure.6.2-14 is not consistent with the heat removal rate c mputed using the data on page 6.2-65 and a peak pool temperature a
'of 179 F (Table 6.2-3).
0 c)
The data in (b) above is not consistent with the decay heat rate at the time of peak contnine.ent pressure as shown in Table 5.2-15.
6.97 From the design data provided in Table 6.2-1 and our recent discussions with you, plants referencing GISS!.R will have the option of selecting one of three RHR heat exc' ranger designs de;endiig on site service teter tetparature.
In addition, your res ense to Question 6.87 indicates that t're heat removal capabilities of the varicus heat exchangers will not be equivalent and therefore the tines and values of peak containment pressure and peak pool temperature will be a function of the particular heat exchanger desisn.
Therefore to establish the tir..es and values of containment pea'c pressure and. temperature for each alternate desi n, provide containment response analyses for the heat exchancer designs corresponds.; to 700 0
