Item No. 1 The dedicated diesel generator that drives the high. pressure core spray (HPCS) pump currently depends on cooling. Vater supplied by pumps powered by the other two' diesel generators during loss of offsite power conditions.

The ACRS recomends that the merit of removing this dependency be examined.

I GSU_ Position GSU has examined the merit of a completely independent HPC supply.(Standby Service Water (SSW) pumps powered by sither the Division I or II diesels) met NRC Staff regulatory requirements and was the same design as The concern expressed by the ACRS involves reviewed at the CP stage.

postulated case, the HPCS diesel (Division III) would be denied cooling water and would not be operable.

j To remove this dependency a design modification was undertaken which f

involved off loading one of four SSW pump motors, its associated discharge valve and pump cubicle cooling f an from the Division I diesel generator and In addition, Division III adding this load to the HPCS diesel generator.

SSW initiation instrumentation was added and associated instrument control hardware changes were cade.

This design change vill allow 50% of the long term (i.e. Post RHR shutdown cooling initiation) SSW cooling water to be provided from the Division I diesel while the other 50% vill be provided frer. the HPCS diesel generator.

Item No. 2 GSU stated that they plan to conduct a limited probabilistic risk assessment (FRA) for the River Bend Station (RBS). The ACRS supports the proposal to perform a plant-specific PRA and recom= ends that it include seismic-and-fire-induced accident scenarios.

i i

GSU Position GSU is one of forty-two utilities participating in the " Seismicity owner's Group" study entitled " Seismic Hazard Methodology for Eastern U.S.A." RBS is one of the nine reactor sites selected for co=putation pertaining to The RBS site is located in an area of low seismicity, well earthquakes.

above the Mississippi River flood plain, over 100 miles from the nearest seacoast, and in an area of lov er at most, average tornado activity.

Preliminary figures and estimates indicate that the likelihood of,gnto 10 3 earthquake exceeding the design basis would be on the order of 10 This is an order of magnitude or two lower than that anticipated per year.

for many sites....Since the frequency of occurrence of these events is extremely low and.because of the extreme severity needed to generate major accidents from these initiators, omission of earthquakes as an external event is justified.

A study comparing fire induced accidents at RBS with the standard BVR-6 was conducted by the General Electric Company for CSU. The analysis was performed on the basis of fire protection ressures described in FSAR Section 9.5.1, " Fire Protection System" and Appendix 9A, " Fire Protection Program Evaluation Report." The event and fault trees of the GESSAR II Nuclear Island Plant PRA were used to assess the impact of a particular fire in the plant systems and to estimate the core damage frequency initiated by the fire.

RBS meets NRC staff fire protection requirements, co. pares f avorably with GESSAR II, and is significantly better than other PRA for plants of similar It is concluded that fire need not be considered further in PRA design.

analysis.

I In conclusion, CSU has performed Phase-2 of a limited PRA anayisis of RBS.

I Phase-2 was based on Grand Gulf-l event trees supplemented by RBS plant trees and site specific consequence analysis.

In addition, specific fault fire induced accident. scenarios were. considered-and.RBS_vas. compared.wi,th_.

Results of the limited PRA l

analyses, when compared to more detailed PRA's for other plants of similar design, indicate that the impact of internal and external initiating events can be predicted adequately and that additional PRA analysis is not warranted.

f tem No. _6 The ACRS requests that it be provided the qualification program and data for River Bend's containment isolation valves for the 36 inch diameter containment purge and vent lines.

CSU Position The valves in question are identified as follows:

LOCATION /FLTNCTION MARK NLH_BER Supply Line Inboard CIV 1HVR*A0V123 Exahust Line Inboard C1V IHVR*AOV128 Supply 31ne Outboard CIV 1HVE*A0V165 Exhaust Line Outboard CIV IHVR*A0V166 The valves are 36 inch diameter high performance butterfly valves with air cylinder actuators manufactured by Posi-Seal International, Inc. (PSI).

VELD END VALVE.

Each valve is designated by PSI as a 36" CLASS 150/150 Each valve is furnished with a MATRYX fail-closed air cylinder actuator, or Model No. 45122-SR80 (A0V165,166).

Model No. 33122-SRSO (A0V123,128)

(

GSU has specifically addressed the issue of qualification of these valves in our response to the NRC Staf f's Branch Technical Position (BTP) 6-4 (reference letter RBG-19,385 dated November 8,1984) with regard to the Dryvell/ Containment Purge System.

The 36 inch diameter containment isolation valves in the Contain=ent Purge System are qualified to perform their intended function, including full closure upon the initiation of a co=bined LOCA and DBA seismic event.

Item No. 8 Unit coolers are to be used at RBS instead of containment sprays to control temperature and pressure following an accident.

Containment sprays have previously been cited as being very efficient in the removal of airborne radioiodine.

To what degree can a unit cooler system be expected to remove airborne radioiodine or other materials?

C_SU_ Position The River Bend containment unit coolers remove airborne fission products by the same eethod as containment sprays, that is, by condensation. The River Bend unit coolers are designed to condense 1007. of the steam that bypass the suppression pool, assuming no surface condensation.

The actual capability of the unit cooler to remove airborne fission products has not been assessed. This assessment is not necessary since the impact on further reducing the amount of fission products released would be minimal due to the effectiveness of pool scrubbing and condensation of water vapor from"the atmosphere onto containment surfaces.

This is supported by a UE performed analysis which considers postulated severe accidents with pool bypass, in which the bypass steam is condensed either on contain=ent surfaces or by the unit cooler, and shows that this event

(

would have negligible overall risk. Additionally, following the guideline of Regulatory Guide 1.3, River Bend LOCA analysis assumes that 50% of the iodine from an equilibrium core is released to primary containment and of this 'elease, 50% of the iodine remains airborne.

The remaining 50% is r

assumed to " plate-out" on centsinment surfaces.

This analysis takes no credit for any fission product rs= oval via condensation through the unit coolers. The resulting calculated exposures are well within 10CFR100 guidelines.

Thus, while inclusion of fission product re= eval by the p,BS unit coolers would reduce the calculated fission product release, the impact on overall, plant risk is minimal.

Item No. 9 CSU has proposed to include in the River Bend Emergency Procedures a procedure for venting the containment under certain accident conditions.

The bases for the decision to take this action are not yet clear.

The NRC Staff has not completed its review of this proposal.

The ACRS vishes to be advised when the NEC Staff has reached a position on this matter and to have an opportunity to co==ent generically or specifically.

CSU Position l

CSU has analyzed the containment response to the most probable sequence of events that would require decay heat removal through containment venting through presently existing systees.

The transient analyzed will proceed slowly allowing significant operator action.

If attempts to initiate and restore all design capabilities for decay heat recoval are unsuccessful, the ultimate decision to vent vill be made by the Emergency Director and as available, input from the NRC, state and local officials will also be taken into consideration.

Emergency Operating Procedures direct operator actions based on the symptoms and equipment available.

Venting would be initiated through the Hydrogen Purge System or the Containment Ventilation System.

This venting procedure would require opening the containment purge exhaust valves when containment pressure reaches 45 psig. This evaluation agrees with guidance given in the Emergency Procedure Guidelines (EPGs).

The equipment and systems which would be used have been evaluated for their capability to perform as needed.

M

Item No. 10 f

The ACRS has not completed its review of hydrogen control for the River Band Station, particularly as it may be impacted by differences in containment design features between River Bend and Mark III BWRs previously reviewed.

The ACRS Will con:plete its review of the full power operating license when the NRC Staff and GSU have made sufficient progress in resolving the matter of hydrogen control.

]

)

G_SU Position In accordance with the requirements of the final hydrogen control rule (10CFR50.44), CSU will have a hydrogen control system, supported by preliminary analysis, installed and operational prior to exceeding 5%

power.

A schedule for demonstrating full compliance with the final hydrogen control rule has been submitted to the NRC (reference. letter RBG-21,389 dated June 26, 1985).

With respect to the final analysis required by the rule, the Hydrogen Control Ovners Group (HCOG) submitted its Hydrogen Control Program Plan to the NRC Staff on December 14, 1984, as an attachment to HGN-024.

CSU, as a member of BCOG,' feels that the approach set forth in the Hydrogen Control Program Plan is a suitable program of research and analysis to demonstrate full compliance with the hydrogen control rule.

This plan is currently under staff review.

GSU will endorse this plan as applicable which will

{

serve as an update of the RBS program plan.

As the results of specific HCOG subtasks, activities and reports b'ecome available, GSU will address their individual applicability as necessary.

The final RBS analysis will be completed with schedules consistent with the ECOG program, l
