SUMMARY

PUBLIC VERSION Summary Description of Changes FSAR Impacts Update to align the structure of Chapter 7 with the format guidance of NUREG-1537, Part 1. Chapter 7 is revised in its entirety.

Section 7.1, Section 7.2, Section 7.3,Section 7.4, Section 7.5,Section 7.6, Section 7.7,Section 7.8 (Markups and revision bars are not provided for Chapter 7 due to the extent of the changes. provides a crosswalk of the changes resulting from the Chapter 7 restructure.)

Update cross-references throughout the FSAR to align with the restructured Chapter 7 content.

Section 4a2.3, Table 4a2.8-2, Section 5a2.2, Section 6a2.2, Section 8a2.1, Section 9b.7, Section 12.11, Section 13a2.1 Update to clarify incorporation of the highly integrated protection system (HIPS) platform into the instrumentation and controls (I&C) system design, including clarification regarding the application of HIPS Topical Report (Reference 1) and the Safety Evaluation for the HIPS Topical Report (Reference 2).

Section 7.1, Section 7.2, Section 7.4, Section 7.5 Update to clarify I&C system operation and design regarding the maintenance bypass and trip settings of the safety function module (SFM) out-of-service (OOS) switch.

Section 7.1, Section 7.2, Section 7.4, Section 7.5 Update to clarify the application of human factors engineering (HFE) principles to the I&C system design and to remove the reference to Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standard 1023-2004 (Reference 3).

Section 7.1, Section 7.4, Section 7.5, Section 7.9 Update to clarify I&C system architecture communication pathways between HIPS modules.

Figure 7.1-1, Figure 7.1-2, Figure 7.1-3

Page 2 of 4 Summary Description of Changes FSAR Impacts Update system descriptions to include additional information related to safety functions and analytical limits to provide a level of information consistent with the SHINE Technical Specifications. This change aligns licensing bases documents.

Section 4a2.3, Section 4a2.4, Section 4a2.6, Section 4a2.8, Section 4b.3, Section 7.4, Table 7.4-1, Section 7.5, Table 7.5-1, Section 7.8, Section 9a2.1, Section 9a2.7, Section 9b.6 Correct typographical errors and inconsistencies throughout the FSAR in component names, system descriptions, and component functional descriptions. This change corrects inconsistencies between FSAR Chapters, as well as inconsistencies between design bases documents and the FSAR.

Section 4a2.2, Section 4a2.6, Section 4b.4, Section 7.3, Section 7.4, Table 7.4-1, Figure 7.4-1, Section 7.5, Table 7.5-2, Figure 7.5-1, Table 7.7-3, Section 7.8, Section 8a.2.1, Section 8a2.2, Section 9a2.1, Figure 9a2.1-3, Figure 9a2.1-4, Figure 9a2.1 6, Figure 9a2.1-7, Section 9b.6, Section 13a2.1 Correct Table 3.1-1 and Table 3.1-2 to reflect the applicable design criteria for safety-related and nonsafety-related systems. This change is consistent with the associated system design bases documents and aligns with the applicable FSAR system descriptions.

Table 3.1-1, Table 3.1-2 Update to remove the criticality accident alarm system (CAAS) from the discussion of I&C systems in Chapter 7.

CAAS is described in Subsection 6b.3.3.

Section 1.3, Table 3.1-2, Section 4b.1, Section 4b.4, Section 6b.3, Section 7.1, Figure 7.1-1, Section 7.2, Section 7.7, Section 11.1 Update to neutron flux detection system (NFDS) description to include separate source range and power/wide range detectors, to remove rate signals from NFDS functions, and to identify the source range trip function as a target solution vessel (TSV) reactivity protection system (TRPS) function. The NFDS design supports a lower source strength requirement for the subcritical multiplication source which has been updated.

The 1/M curves have also been updated based on the placement and technology of the source range detectors.

Figure 4a2.1-2, Section 4a2.2, Table 4a2.6-1, Figure 4a2.6-1, Section 7.1, Section 7.2, Section 7.4, Section 7.8, Figure 7.4-1 Update to incorporate safety-related isolation valves into the neutron driver assembly system (NDAS) cooling water loops that penetrate the primary confinement boundary to support confinement safety functions and seismic classification.
