SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 20 STATION Introduction Section 1.1 UFSAR Page 1

1.1 INTRODUCTION

1.1.1 Project Identification The Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) for Seabrook Station is submitted to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) pursuant to 10 CFR 50.71(e). The original FSAR (as amended through Amendment 63, April 11, 1990) submitted in support of the operating license application documents the licensing basis for Seabrook Station and has been archived. A full power operating license for NPF-86 was issued by the NRC on March 15, 1990. The NRC previously issued a low power license, NPF-67, on May 26, 1989, and a fuel load license, NPF-56, on October 17, 1986. The Updated FSAR submittal date was based on the date of issuance of low power license NPF-67. The Updated FSAR is revised annually (per refueling cycle), pursuant to 10 CFR 50.71(e). On January 10, 2007, the NRC issued Certificate of Compliance No. 1030 for Spent Fuel Storage Casks, which allows Seabrook Station to operate an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) utilizing the HUHOMS HD System.

The HUHOMS HD System Updated Final Safety Analysis Report for the 32PTH Cask is updated annually under 10 CFR 72.70 by the certificate holder.

Seabrook Station is located approximately eight miles southeast of the county seat of Exeter and five miles northeast of Amesbury, Massachusetts. The center of the Boston metropolitan area is approximately 40 miles to the southeast of the site.

Seabrook Station employs a four-loop, pressurized water reactor and support auxiliary systems designed by Westinghouse Electric Company. It is similar in design to Duke Power Company's W.B. McGuire Nuclear Station, Texas Utility Generating Company's Comanche Peak Station, and Commonwealth Edison Company's Byron-Braidwood Nuclear Plants.

Seabrook Station's reactor is housed in a steel-lined reinforced concrete containment structure and a concrete containment enclosure structure. These structures were designed by United Engineers and Constructors Inc.

The operating license application and original FSAR for Seabrook Station contemplated two identical units on a single site. Construction on Seabrook Station Unit 2 was effectively terminated in 1984 and its construction permit was allowed to expire in October 1988. The Updated FSAR eliminates all references to Unit 2, except for a few cases where it was necessary to maintain a Unit 2 reference to provide an accurate description of a plant feature (i.e., the Exclusion Area Boundary is based on two units as the Updated FSAR description so states).

NPF-86 authorizes Seabrook Station operation at reactor core power levels not in excess of 3648 megawatts thermal (MWt). This corresponds to a nuclear steam supply system thermal output of 3664.1 MWt and a corresponding gross turbine generator output of 1305.6 MWe.

Seabrook Station commenced regular full power operation on August 19, 1990, upon completion of the Power Ascension Test Program.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 20 STATION Introduction Section 1.1 UFSAR Page 2 1.1.2 Organization of Contents The Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) provides the information required by Revision 3 to the "Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants," Regulatory Guide 1.70, dated November, 1978. The Updated FSAR is divided into 17 chapters, using substantially the same format as NUREG-75/094.

In 2002, the UFSAR was converted to a computer based living document, periodically updated throughout the reporting cycle. Available on the Seabrook Station Home Page in Portable Document Format (PDF), the UFSAR is viewed using computer software and is available in CD-ROM for distribution to offsite agencies. Changes to the living UFSAR will be identified with a revision bar and the associated UFSAR change number.

Sections are numerically identified by representing their order of appearance in a chapter by two numbers separated by a decimal point, e.g., 3.4, the fourth section of Chapter 3. Subsections are further identified by numbers separated by decimal points (3.4.1, 3.4.1.1., etc.). Pages within each section are consecutively numbered (3.4-1, 3.4-2, etc.).

Tabulations of data are designated "Tables," and are identified by the section number followed by a hyphen and the number of the table according to its order of mention in the test, e.g., Table 3.4-5 is the fifth table of Section 3.4.

Drawings, pictures, sketches, curves, graphs and engineering diagrams are identified as "Figures,"

and are numbered in the same manner as tables.

The symbols applicable to the piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) and logic diagrams throughout this report are presented in Figure 1.1-1 and Figure 1.1-2.

Design drawing numbers are used in the UFSAR in lieu of copies of the actual drawing to ensure the user will use the latest drawing.

Where information has been presented that is not specifically requested by the standard format, the information is presented in the appropriate chapter as a section or subsection, and follows the information specifically requested by the standard format. For example, this Subsection 1.1.2 is not requested by the standard format. Since it apparently belongs in Section 1.1, it has been placed after the subsection containing the information specifically requested by the standard format.

When it becomes necessary to submit additional information, or revise information presently contained in the Updated FSAR, the following procedures will be followed:

a. When a change is made to the Updated FSAR text, those page sections affected will be marked with the revision number in the upper right-hand corner and a revision bar added in the margin next to the material affected.
b. When figures are revised, the Updated FSAR revision number is added to the list of effective pages prior to submittal to the NRC.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 20 STATION Introduction Section 1.1 UFSAR Page 3 For those sections where both the AE and the NSSS supplier have provided separate discussions on similar subject matter, e.g., Section 3.9, the discussion prepared by the AE is identified by a "(B)"

directly after the 2-digit subsection number, e.g., 3.9(B), whereas the discussion provided by the NSSS supplier is identified with an "(N)" following the number, e.g., 3.9(N).

1.1.3 Transition of Information from the Original FSAR to the Updated FSAR The Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) for Seabrook Station was revised pursuant to the requirements of 10 CFR 50.71(e). Development of the Updated FSAR was completed in accordance with guidance provided in Generic Letter 81-06, dated February 26, 1981 and information provided in the statements of Consideration for Final Rule Making of 10 CFR Part 50, titled "Periodic Updating of Final Safety Analysis Reports", dated September 1, 1982.

The format of the Updated FSAR is consistent with the original FSAR with the following exceptions:

  • The original FSAR contained two volumes of Requests for Additional Information (RAIs) and their subsequent responses. The RAIs were the result of the Commission's questions pertaining to New Hampshire Yankee's (NHY) application for an Operating License. Information from the RAIs has been incorporated into the Updated FSAR, as applicable, and thus will not be a part of the Updated FSAR.
  • In response to guidance given in Generic Letter 81-06 and the statements of Consideration, certain population tables contained in Chapter 2 were not updated.

These tables are presented with existing information from the original FSAR because the most current population figures are provided in the Seabrook Station Evacuation Study transmitted as a supporting document to New Hampshire Radiological Emergency Response Plan (NHRERP).

  • Additionally, certain appendices, identified by asterisks, on the List of Effective Pages were not revised, but have been extracted from the original FSAR and are provided in the Updated FSAR for historical information.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 18 STATION General Plant Description Section 1.2 UFSAR Page 1 1.2 GENERAL PLANT DESCRIPTION 1.2.1 Site Characteristics 1.2.1.1 Location Seabrook Station is located on the western shore of Hampton Harbor in Rockingham County, in the township of Seabrook, New Hampshire. It is approximately 11 air miles south of Portsmouth, New Hampshire and 2 miles west of the Atlantic Ocean. The site coordinates are 70 degrees, 51 minutes, 05 seconds west longitude, and 42 degrees, 53 minutes, 53 seconds north latitude. The Universal Transverse Mercator Coordinates of the site are 348,970 meters east and 4,751,090 meters north. Figure 2.1-4 shows the plant arrangement and its surroundings.

1.2.1.2 Size and Ownership Seabrook Station is owned by a group of utilities that are signatories to the Joint Ownership Agreement and that are hereafter referred to collectively as the Joint Owners. Public Service Company of New Hampshire (PSNH) was formerly the principal owner of Seabrook Station and, through its New Hampshire Yankee Division, was responsible for the managing agent functions in accordance with the Operating License. However, pursuant to a plan of reorganization for PSNH approved by the United States Bankruptcy Court, PSNH became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Northeast Utilities (NU) on June 5, 1992. On that same date, PSNH's ownership share of Seabrook Station was transferred to another subsidiary of NU, the North Atlantic Energy Corporation (NAEC). As part of that plan of reorganization, and in accordance with the approval granted by the NRC in Amendment 10 to the Operating License, PSNH's managing agent responsibilities were transferred to the North Atlantic Energy Service Corporation (North Atlantic), another wholly-owned subsidiary of NU, on June 29, 1992.

In 1996, the New Hampshire Legislature adopted the Electric Utility Restructuring Act

("EURA"), RSA 374-F with the overall public policy goal of developing a more efficient industry structure and regulatory framework. In accordance with EURA, the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission ("NHPUC") required NAEC to sell its ownership shares in Seabrook Station through a public auction. Seven other Joint Owners joined NAEC in the auction process. Through the auction process, the Selling Owners transferred their respective operating and ownership shares to FPL Energy Seabrook, LLC ("FPLE Seabrook"). As part of the transfer of ownership, and in accordance with the approval granted by the NRC in Amendment 86 to the Operating License, North Atlantics managing agent responsibilities were transferred to FPLE Seabrook on November 1, 2002.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 18 STATION General Plant Description Section 1.2 UFSAR Page 2 The Seabrook Station site includes as a minimum the land within a 3000-foot radius of the two reactor building centerlines. The site, for purposes of ownership, is described as two lots. Lot 1 includes the land for the station buildings of Units 1 and 2 and the North Access Road. It corresponds closely with the controlled area boundary except for the access road. Lot 1 is owned by the Joint Owners in proportion to their ownership shares in the project as a whole.

The remainder of the site, Lot 2, is owned by FPLE Seabrook. Certain station structures and facilities are located on Lot 2. Easements for access, construction, operation and maintenance of the station facilities on Lot 2 are granted to the Joint Owners by FPLE Seabrook. Covenants and easements, including all rights and authority to determine activities as necessary to qualify the site as an "exclusion area" as defined in 10 CFR 100, have been assigned by NAEC and North Atlantic to FPLE Seabrook. Figure 1.2-1, Sheet 2 shows the ownership boundaries for lots 1 and 2.

The dry fuel storage site is located to the west of Unit 2 and consists of a large concrete pad containing horizontal storage modules which house spent fuel, a security system, and an electrical enclosure supporting the dry fuel storage site. The "exclusion area" as defined by 10 CFR 100 includes the dry fuel storage site.

1.2.1.3 Access The site is bounded on the north, east and south by marshland. The only access to the site is from the west via two roads, both entering from U.S. Route 1. A railroad spur enters the site from the Boston and Maine Railroad track, located west of the station (see Figure 1.2-1, Sheet 1).

All access to the site is under the control of FPLE Seabrook.

1.2.1.4 Geology The site area is characterized by broad open areas of level tidal marsh, dissected by numerous tidal creeks and man-made linear drainage ditches, interrupted locally by wooded "islands" or peninsulas which rise to elevations of 20 to 30 feet above sea level.

The station buildings are placed on or in a gneissoid phase of the Newburyport quartz diorite intrusive. Newburyport is a hard, strong crystalline igneous rock consisting of a medium-to-course-grained quartz diorite matrix intimately enclosing inclusions of dark gray, fine-grained diorite.

A detailed discussion is presented in Section 2.5.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 18 STATION General Plant Description Section 1.2 UFSAR Page 3 1.2.1.5 Seismology The most severe earthquakes effects experienced by the site were Intensity VI (MM), as estimated by isoseismal lines from two offshore earthquakes in 1727 and 1755. The ground acceleration associated with the Safe Shutdown Earthquake was selected as 0.25 g.

A detailed discussion is presented in Section 2.5.

1.2.1.6 Meteorology The site is located about two miles from the open Atlantic Ocean resulting in a definite maritime influence on the general climate. Winter temperature extremes are tempered by the relatively warmer water, and summer temperatures are moderated by a sea breeze. Precipitation amounts are uniform throughout the year, with an occasional heavy rainfall during a northeast storm. The site is not usually subjected to the full strength of east coast hurricanes. Such storms usually move either offshore or inland before they reach the Seabrook latitude.

A detailed discussion is presented in Section 2.3.

1.2.1.7 Hydrology The site is located on the western side of the Hampton Harbor estuary on a peninsula of land which is bordered on the north by the Browns River and on the south by Hunts Island Creek.

Surface drainage of natural precipitation from the peninsula is into these two tidal streams. The mean tidal range of Hampton Harbor is about 8.6 feet, varying from 4 feet below to 4.6 feet above mean sea level. The critical flood elevations at the site result from the probable maximum hurricane occurring simultaneously with the standard project storm. All safety-related systems and components are protected by structures which surround them, or by being located above the maximum stillwater level on the plant grade. Structures and components subject to wave runup are adequately protected to maintain the integrity of their functions.

A detailed discussion is presented in Section 2.4.

1.2.2 Facility Arrangement 1.2.2.1 General Arrangement The arrangement of the major structures on the site is shown on Figure 1.2-1. The general arrangements of the individual structures shown in Figures 1.2-2 through 1.2-59 are provided for historical purposes only.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 18 STATION General Plant Description Section 1.2 UFSAR Page 4 The major structures associated with Seabrook Station are the containment structure, containment enclosure, Primary Auxiliary Building, Fuel Storage Building, Waste Processing Building, Control Building, Diesel Generator Building, Turbine Building, Circulating Water Pumphouse, Service Water Pumphouse, Administration and Service Building, Emergency Feedwater Pump Building, cooling water tunnels, ocean intake structures, ocean discharge nozzles, Ultimate Heat Sink Cooling Tower, Chlorination Building, Fire Pumphouse, Steam Generator Blowdown Recovery Building, and a Dry Fuel Storage Facility.

The inside face is lined with a welded carbon steel plate, providing a high degree of leak tightness. A protective 4-ft thick concrete mat that forms the floor of the Containment protects the liner over the foundation mat. The containment structure provides biological shielding for normal and accident conditions. The approximate dimensions of the Containment are:

Inside diameter 140 ft Inside height 219 ft Vertical wall thickness 4 ft 6 in. and 4 ft 7 1/2 in.

Dome thickness 3 ft 6 1/8 in.

Foundation mat thickness 10 ft Containment penetrations are provided in the lower portion of the structure, and consist of a personnel lock and an equipment hatch/personnel lock, a fuel transfer tube and piping, electrical, instrumentation, and ventilation penetrations.

The Containment is designed to withstand all credible conditions of loading, including normal loads, construction loads, test loads, severe environmental loads and extreme environmental and abnormal loads. The maximum design pressure is 52 psig. The maximum liner temperature associated with the design pressure response is 271°F.

Detailed discussions are presented in Subsections 3.8.1, 3.8.2 and 6.2.1.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 18 STATION General Plant Description Section 1.2 UFSAR Page 5 1.2.2.3 Containment Enclosure The containment enclosure, Figure 1.2-2 Figure 1.2-3, Figure 1.2-4, Figure 1.2-5, Figure 1.2-6, surrounds the containment structure and is designed in a similar configuration as a vertical right cylindrical seismic Category I, reinforced concrete structure with dome and ring base. The approximate dimensions of the structure are: inside diameter, 158 ft; vertical wall thickness, varies from 1 ft, 3 in. to 3 ft; and dome thickness, 1 ft, 3 in.

The containment enclosure is designed to entrap, filter and then discharge any leakage from the containment structure. To accomplish this, the space between the containment enclosure and the containment structure, as well as the penetration and safety-related pump areas, are maintained at a negative pressure following a loss-of-coolant accident by fans which take suction from the containment enclosure and exhaust to atmosphere through charcoal filters. To ensure air tightness for the negative pressure, leakage through all joints and penetrations has been minimized.

Additional information is presented in Subsections 3.8.4 and 6.2.3.

1.2.2.4 Primary Auxiliary Building The Primary Auxiliary Building, Figure 1.2-7, Figure 1.2-8, Figure 1.2-9, Figure 1.2-10, Figure 1.2-11, Figure 1.2-12, Figure 1.2-13, Figure 1.2-14, is a seismic Category I, reinforced concrete structure which is located adjacent to the containment structure, and contains most of the auxiliary systems for the Reactor Coolant System. Those systems whose major components are in the Primary Auxiliary Building include the Chemical and Volume Control, Primary Component Cooling, Sample, Low Pressure Safety Injection, Residual Heat Removal and Containment Spray Systems.

The residual heat removal and containment spray pumps and their associated heat exchangers are located in water tight compartments in the northern part of the Primary Auxiliary Building. The compartments are isolated from the rest of the Primary Auxiliary Building by concrete walls to preclude flooding the pumps due to a rupture anywhere else in the building. The containment spray pumps are located below grade to satisfy net positive suction head requirements.

Additional information is presented in Subsection 3.8.4.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 18 STATION General Plant Description Section 1.2 UFSAR Page 10 1.2.3 Reactor Systems A detailed discussion of the various reactor systems is presented in Chapter 4.

1.2.3.1 Reactor Core The reactor core is a multi-region cycled core. The fuel rods are slightly cold worked Zircaloy-4, ZIRLO or Optimized ZIRLO' 1 tubes containing slightly enriched uranium dioxide fuel. The fuel rods are supported by spring clip grids in a 17x17 array to form fuel assemblies. There are 193 fuel assemblies in the core.

1.2.3.2 Reactor Vessel Internals The reactor internals are comprised of a lower core support structure (including the entire core barrel and neutron shield pad assembly), the upper core support structure, and the core instrumentation support structure. The reactor internals support the core, maintain fuel alignment, limit fuel assembly movement, maintain alignment between fuel assemblies and control rods, direct coolant flow to the pressure vessel head, provide gamma and neutron shielding and guide the incore instrumentation.

A detailed discussion is presented in Subsection 3.9.5.

1.2.3.3 Reactivity Control Systems Full-length control rod assemblies and burnable neutron absorber rods are inserted into guide thimbles of fuel assemblies for neutron control. The absorber sections of the control rods are composed of silver-indium-cadmium cylinders encapsulated in 304 stainless steel cladding.

Within the cladding, the silver alloy rods are stacked to provide an absorber column of 142 inches. The absorber material in the fixed burnable neutron absorber rods is in the form of borosilicate glass sealed in stainless steel tubes. Boric acid in solution in the coolant is also used for neutron control during slow transients.

The control rod drive mechanisms are equipped with magnetic latches, which are controlled by three magnetic coils. The latches are designed so that upon a loss of power to the coils, the Rod Cluster Control Assembly is released and falls by gravity into the core to shut down the reactor.

Additional information is presented in Chapter 4.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 18 STATION General Plant Description Section 1.2 UFSAR Page 11 1.2.3.4 Nuclear Instrumentation The reactor is provided with two types of monitoring systems: a system of fixed ion chambers located symmetrically around the core outside of the reactor pressure vessel, a system of fixed incore instrumentation and a system of safety grade excore fixed fission chambers located symmetrically around the reactor vessel. The incore detection devices consist of fixed self-powered platinum detectors. The fixed self-powered detectors are distributed along the part of each detector assembly in the active length of the fuel assembly. Their continuous signals, when processed, provide an ongoing flux map.

The Safety Grade Excore Neutron Flux Monitoring System measures thermal neutron flux and boron dilution of the reactor vessel during operation and during and after remote safe shutdown.

This meets requirements of RG 1.97 and NUREG-0737.

Additional information is presented in Section 7.7 and Subsection 4.4.6.

1.2.4 Reactor Coolant System and Connected Systems 1.2.4.1 Reactor Coolant System The Reactor Coolant System is composed of four steam generators, four reactor coolant pumps, a pressurizer, reactor vessel, and pressurizer relief tank. The system is designed to transfer a maximum thermal output of 3678 MWt (including pump heat) from the core to the steam generators where the heat is transferred to the Secondary Steam System that drives the turbine generator.

The Reactor Coolant System is arranged in four parallel loops, each consisting of a single steam generator and reactor coolant pump. Water is pumped under pressure through the reactor vessel where it picks up the thermal output of the core and to the steam generator where it gives up the core heat. It is then recirculated by the pumps back into the reactor vessel. The pressurizer is used to pressurize the water to 2250 psia to inhibit any boiling in the core. The core cooling water also acts as a neutron moderator, a reflector and a solvent for a chemical neutron absorber.

A detailed discussion on this system is presented in Chapter 5.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 18 STATION General Plant Description Section 1.2 UFSAR Page 12 1.2.4.2 Reactor Vessel The reactor vessel is a cylindrical structure with a hemispherical bottom head and a flanged and gasketed removable upper head, which houses the core, core support structures, control rod clusters, thermal shield and other parts associated with the core. The outlet and inlet nozzles which provide the exit of the heated coolant and its return to the vessel interior for recirculation through the core, are located at an elevation between the head flange and the core.

A detailed discussion is presented in Section 5.3.

1.2.4.3 Residual Heat Removal System The Residual Heat Removal System is used to reduce the temperature of the reactor coolant at a controlled rate from 350°F to 125°F, within 20 hours2.314815e-4 days <br />0.00556 hours <br />3.306878e-5 weeks <br />7.61e-6 months <br /> after shutdown (with all equipment operating), and to maintain the proper reactor coolant temperature during refueling. The residual heat removal pumps circulate reactor coolant through two residual heat removal heat exchangers, and return it to the Reactor Coolant System through the low-pressure safety injection header.

A detailed discussion on this system is presented in Subsection 5.4.7.

1.2.5 Engineered Safety Features The Engineered Safety Features serve to limit the potential radiation exposure to the public and to plant personnel following an accidental release of radioactive fission products from the Reactor Coolant System, particularly as the result of a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA). These safety features function to localize, control, mitigate and terminate such accidents, ensuring that 10 CFR 100 limits are not exceeded. The safety features consist of the following:

a. Containment Systems
1. Containment structure (including compartments)
2. Containment enclosure
3. Containment Heat Removal System (Containment Spray System)
4. Containment Isolation System
5. Combustible Gas Control System
b. Emergency Core Cooling System
c. Control room habitability systems

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 18 STATION General Plant Description Section 1.2 UFSAR Page 13

d. Fission Product Removal and Control Systems (Containment Enclosure and Fuel Storage Building ESF filter systems)
e. Emergency Feedwater System.

The above systems include those portions of the Instrumentation and Protection System and electrical power distribution system necessary for operation.

1.2.5.1 Containment Structure The containment structure is described in Subsection 1.2.2.2.

1.2.5.2 Containment Enclosure The containment enclosure is described in Subsection 1.2.2.3.

1.2.5.3 Containment Heat Removal System A Containment Spray System is utilized for post-accident containment heat removal. The Containment Spray System is designed to spray water containing boron and sodium hydroxide into the Containment atmosphere after a LOCA to cool it and remove iodine. The pumps initially take suction from the refueling water storage tank and pump its contents into the Containment atmosphere through the spray headers located in the Containment dome. After a prescribed amount of water is removed from the tank, the pump suction is transferred to the Containment sump, and cooling is continued by recirculating sump water through the spray heat exchangers and back through the spray headers.

The spray is actuated by a Containment spray actuation signal that is generated at a designated containment pressure. The system is completely redundant and can withstand any single failure.

A detailed discussion on this system is presented in Subsection 6.2.2.

1.2.5.4 Containment Isolation System The Containment Isolation System establishes and/or maintains isolation of the containment from the outside environment in order to prevent the release of fission products. Containment isolation signals actuate the appropriate valves to a closed position whenever automatic safety injection occurs or high containment pressure is experienced. Double barrier protection is provided for all lines that penetrate the Containment boundary.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 18 STATION General Plant Description Section 1.2 UFSAR Page 14 1.2.5.5 Combustible Gas Control System Thermal electric hydrogen recombiners reduce the concentration of hydrogen in the post-LOCA Containment atmosphere. A purge feature is also provided for backup control of hydrogen.

A detailed discussion of this system is presented in Subsection 6.2.5.

1.2.5.6 Emergency Core Cooling System The Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) injects borated water into the Reactor Coolant System following a LOCA to limit core damage, metal-water reactions and fission product release, and to assure adequate shutdown margin. The ECCS also provides continuous long-term post-accident cooling of the core, by recirculating borated water between the containment sump and the reactor core.

The system consists of two centrifugal charging pumps, two low pressure safety injection pumps, two residual heat removal pumps and heat exchangers, and four safety injection accumulators.

The system is completely redundant, and will assure flow to the core in the event of any single failure.

A detailed discussion on this system is presented in Section 6.3.

1.2.5.7 Control Room Habitability Systems The Control Building contains the building services necessary for continuous occupancy of the control room complex by operating personnel during all operating conditions. These building services include: HVAC services, air purification and iodine removal, fresh air intakes, fire protection, emergency breathing apparatus, communications and meteorological equipment, lighting, and housekeeping facilities.

A detailed discussion on this system is presented in Section 6.4.

1.2.5.8 Engineered Safety Features (ESF) Filter Systems ESF filter systems required to perform a safety-related function following a design basis accident are discussed below:

a. The Containment Enclosure Exhaust Filter System collects, filters and discharges most airborne containment leakage (excluding noble gases). The system is not normally in operation, but in the event of a LOCA, it is placed in operation and keeps the containment enclosure (as defined in Subsection 6.2.3.2a) at negative pressure to ensure most airborne leakage (excluding noble gases) from the containment structure is collected and filtered before discharge to the plant vent.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 18 STATION General Plant Description Section 1.2 UFSAR Page 15

b. One of two redundant charcoal filter exhaust trains is placed in operation in the Fuel Storage Building whenever irradiation fuel not in a cask is being handled.

These filter units together with dampers and controls will maintain the building at a negative pressure.

Detailed discussions on these systems are presented in Subsection 6.5.1.

1.2.5.9 Emergency Feedwater System The Emergency Feedwater System supplies demineralized water from the condensate water storage tank to the four steam generators upon loss of normal feedwater flow to remove heat from the Reactor Coolant System. Operation of the system will continue until the reactor coolant system pressure is reduced to a value below which the Residual Heat Removal System can be operated. The combination of one turbine-driven and one motor-driven emergency feedwater pump provides a diversity of power sources to assure delivery of condensate under emergency conditions.

A detailed discussion of the system is presented in Section 6.8.

1.2.6 Instrumentation and Controls 1.2.6.1 Reactor Trip System The Reactor Trip System automatically initiates a reactor trip when any monitored variable or combination of variables approaches pre-established limits. Sufficient redundancy is provided to permit periodic testing while maintaining capability to meet single failure criteria. The Reactor Protection System acts to shut down the reactor, close isolation valves, and initiate operation of the Engineered Safety Features should any or all of these actions be required.

A detailed discussion on this system is presented in Section 7.2.

1.2.6.2 Engineered Safety Features Systems This system provides the instrumentation and controls required to sense accident situations and initiate the operation of necessary Engineered Safety Features. The system is designed to ensure adequate redundancy and separation to provide reliable system initiation and meets single failure criteria.

A detailed discussion on this system is presented in Section 7.3.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 18 STATION General Plant Description Section 1.2 UFSAR Page 16 1.2.6.3 Other Safety Significant Systems Instrumentation and controls are provided to actuate, control and monitor systems required for safe shutdown. The instrumentation and controls are designed to ensure reliable operation and meet single failure criteria.

The accident monitoring instrumentation (AMI) displays provide the information necessary for the operators to monitor plant variables and systems during and following postulated accidents.

The AMI provides the operators the information necessary to assist in evaluating the nature of the accident, the functioning of engineered safety features actuation systems, the plant response to safety measures in operation and the need for additional manual action.

Detailed discussions on these systems are presented in Sections 7.4 and 7.5.

1.2.7 Electric Power The facility is interconnected to offsite power via three 345 kilovolt lines of the transmission system for the New England states. The normal preferred source of power for the unit is its own main turbine generator. The redundant safety feature buses of the unit are powered by two unit auxiliary transformers. A highly reliable generator breaker is provided to isolate the generator from the unit auxiliary transformers in the event of a generator trip, thereby obviating the need for a bus transfer upon loss of turbine generator power. In the event that the unit auxiliary transformers are not available, the redundant safety feature buses of the unit are powered by two reserve auxiliary transformers. Upon loss of offsite power, the unit is supplied with adequate power by either of two fast-starting, diesel-engine generators. Either diesel-engine generator and its associated safety feature bus is capable of providing adequate power for a safe shutdown under accident conditions with a concurrent loss of offsite power. A non-safety related supplemental emergency power system (SEPS) is available as a backup power source to either safety feature bus when one or both emergency diesel generators fail to start and load. SEPS is capable of providing adequate power for a safe shutdown under loss of offsite power condition.

A constant supply of power to vital instruments and controls of each unit is assured through the redundant 125 volt direct current buses and their associated battery banks, battery chargers and inverters.

A detailed discussion on this system is presented in Chapter 8.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 18 STATION General Plant Description Section 1.2 UFSAR Page 17 1.2.8 Auxiliary Systems 1.2.8.1 Fuel Storage and Handling The reactor is refueled with equipment designed to handle spent fuel under water from the time it leaves the reactor vessel until it is transferred into the spent fuel pool for storage. Transfer of spent fuel under water enables the use of an optically transparent radiation shield, and provides a reliable source of coolant for removal of residual heat. The system includes a manipulator crane located inside the Containment above the refueling cavity, fuel transfer carriage, upending devices, fuel transfer tube, spent fuel pool crane in the spent fuel pool area, and various devices used for handling new fuel assemblies.

New fuel is taken from the new fuel storage vault and transferred to the Containment using the upending devices and transfer carriage. It is then put into the core using the manipulator crane.

Spent fuel is taken out in the same manner and transferred back into the spent fuel pool for storage.

The new fuel is stored dry on 21-inch centers in the new fuel vault. The new fuel vault is designed to assure a keff 0.98 even if optimum neutron moderation is assumed. The spent fuel racks are designed for high density fuel storage and contain neutron absorbing material to assure a keff 0.95, even if no credit is taken for the soluble boron present in the water where the spent fuel is immersed.

Detailed discussion on these systems are presented in Subsections 9.1.1, 9.1.2 and 9.1.4.

1.2.8.2 Station Service Water System The Service Water System consists of two completely independent and redundant parallel flow trains, each supplying cooling water to a primary component cooling water heat exchanger, a diesel generator water jacket water cooler, the secondary component cooling water heat exchangers and the condenser water box priming pump seal water heat exchangers. Under normal conditions, flow is supplied by pumps taking suction from a common bay of the Service Water Pumphouse; when transfer to the Ultimate Heat Sink Cooling Tower occurs, service water is obtained from the cooling tower basin using the cooling tower pumps.

A detailed discussion of this system is presented in Subsection 9.2.1.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 18 STATION General Plant Description Section 1.2 UFSAR Page 18 1.2.8.3 Cooling System for Reactor Auxiliaries The Primary Component Cooling Water System consists of two independent trains of pumps and heat exchangers to remove heat from the various auxiliary systems. During normal operation, the system circulates corrosion-inhibited demineralized water through all the heat loads associated with primary systems. Some of these loads are the letdown heat exchanger, sample heat exchangers, spent fuel pool heat exchanger, boric acid and waste evaporators. For a LOCA, the system automatically isolates nonsafety-related loads and provides cooling for the residual heat exchangers, the containment spray heat exchangers, and other safety-related loads.

The Containment Compressed Air System consists of two package compressor units (including intake filter, after cooler/moisture-separator and receiver) that discharge compressed air either to a service air header or to an independent air dryer.

A detailed discussion on this system is presented in Subsection 9.3.1.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 18 STATION General Plant Description Section 1.2 UFSAR Page 19 1.2.8.6 Ultimate Heat Sink The ultimate heat sink is normally the Atlantic Ocean. Ocean water is supplied to the Service Water System during normal operating and accident conditions through one of two tunnels. The heated water is then returned to the ocean through the other tunnel.

In the unlikely event that the tunnels are unavailable, the ultimate heat sink is transferred to a mechanical draft cooling tower. The cooling water is supplied by cooling tower pumps to the primary component cooling water and diesel generator heat exchangers.

A detailed discussion of this system is presented of Subsection 9.2.5.

1.2.8.7 Chemical and Volume Control System The Chemical and Volume Control System functions to control reactivity in the core by boron addition or dilution; purify the reactor coolant by filtering, demineralizing and injecting clean water; add chemicals for corrosion control of the reactor coolant, and supply purified water to the reactor coolant pump seals.

The purity level in the Reactor Coolant System is controlled by continuous purification of a letdown stream of reactor coolant. Water letdown from the Reactor Coolant System is first cooled in two heat exchangers. It is then filtered, demineralized and degassed to remove corrosion and fission products and is sprayed into the volume control tank.

The Chemical and Volume Control System automatically adjusts the amount of reactor coolant to compensate for changes in specific volume due to coolant temperature changes and reactor coolant pump shaft seal leakage in order to maintain a constant level in the pressurizer.

A detailed discussion on this system is presented in Subsection 9.3.4.

1.2.8.8 Boron Recovery System The Boron Recovery System stores and processes reactor coolant effluent and reactor coolant grade drainage for reuse in the reactor plant or for disposal offsite. The system maximizes recycling of effluent back to the reactor plant and minimizes the release of radioactive material to the environment by proper cleanup and volume reduction methods. The system process is a combination of degassification, demineralization, filtration and evaporation.

A detailed discussion on this system is presented in Subsection 9.3.5.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 18 STATION General Plant Description Section 1.2 UFSAR Page 20 1.2.8.9 Air Conditioning, Heating, Cooling and Ventilating Systems The Ventilation and Air Conditioning Systems for Engineered Safety Features and other essential equipment rooms provide an adequate supply of tempered air to safety-related and emergency equipment areas during accident and post-accident conditions. These Ventilation and Air Conditioning Systems are redundant and seismically designed. The Ventilation and Air Conditioning Systems also provide clean ventilating air, heated or cooled when required, to all plant areas during normal operating conditions.

Flow patterns have been established so that air in areas of low potential radioactive contamination progress toward areas of higher potential radioactive contamination.

A Containment Recirculating Filter System provides atmospheric mixing following a LOCA, to prevent excessive hydrogen concentrations in the dome portion of the Containment which also provides for containment cleanup during normal plant operation. A Containment Purge System permits purging of the Containment prior to personnel entry, after reactor shutdown, and during refueling. An Online Purge System permits purging of the Containment periodically during normal plant operation.

Detailed discussions on these systems are presented in Section 9.4.

1.2.8.10 Plant Fire Protection System The Fire Protection System contains two diesel-driven and one electric motor-driven fire pumps which supply the various hydrants, hose stations and sprinkler and spray systems. The pumps take suction from two 500,000-gallon storage tanks. Three hundred thousand gallons of water from each tank is dedicated for fire protection; the remainder is available for other plant use.

Standpipes and hose stations in areas containing safe shutdown equipment are also capable of being fed from the Service Water System.

Fire detection is provided at locations determined by the fire hazard analysis as having significant fire hazards resulting from the presence of combustible liquids, solids or other flammable materials. Detection is also provided in other areas on a case basis.

Portable hand-held extinguishers, primarily dry chemical, CO2, Halon 1211 and water, are provided at strategic locations throughout the various plant buildings.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 8 STATION Requirements for Further Technical Information Section 1.5 UFSAR Page 1 1.5 REQUIREMENTS FOR FURTHER TECHNICAL INFORMATION Reference 1 presents descriptions of the safety-related research and development programs that have been carried out for, or by, or in conjunction with Westinghouse Nuclear Energy Systems, and which are applicable to Westinghouse pressurized water reactors.

The technical information generated by these research and development programs is used either to demonstrate the safety of the design and more sharply define margins of conservatism, or leads to design improvements.

Included in the overall research and development effort is the program described below that is applicable to this plant, but is not required for issuance of an Operating License.

1.5.1 Blowdown Heat Transfer Testing 1.5.1.1 Introduction The NRC acceptance criteria for emergency core cooling systems (ECCSs) for light-water power reactors was issued in Section 50.46 of 10 CFR 50 on December 28, 1973. It defines the basis and conservative assumptions to be used in the evaluation of the performance of ECCSs.

Westinghouse believes that some of the conservatism of the criteria is associated with the manner in which transient critical heat flux (CHF) phenomena are treated in the evaluation models. Transient critical heat flux data presented at the 1972 specialists meeting of the Committee on Reactor Safety Technology (CREST) indicated that the time to CHF can be delayed under transient conditions. To demonstrate the conservatism of the ECCS evaluation models, Westinghouse initiated a program to experimentally simulate the blowdown phase of a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA). This testing was part of the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) sponsored Blowdown Heat Transfer Program, that was started in early 1976. Testing was completed in 1979. A CHF correlation will be developed by Westinghouse from these test results for use in the ECCS analyses.

1.5.1.2 Objective The objective of the Blowdown Heat Transfer Test was to determine the time that CHF occurs under LOCA conditions. This information will be used to confirm the existing, or develop a new Westinghouse transient correlation. The steady-state CHF data obtained from 15x15 and 17x17 assembly test programs can be used to assure that the geometrical differences between the two fuel arrays can be correctly treated in the transient correlations.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 8 STATION Requirements for Further Technical Information Section 1.5 UFSAR Page 1 1.5 REQUIREMENTS FOR FURTHER TECHNICAL INFORMATION Reference 1 presents descriptions of the safety-related research and development programs that have been carried out for, or by, or in conjunction with Westinghouse Nuclear Energy Systems, and which are applicable to Westinghouse pressurized water reactors.

The technical information generated by these research and development programs is used either to demonstrate the safety of the design and more sharply define margins of conservatism, or leads to design improvements.

Included in the overall research and development effort is the program described below that is applicable to this plant, but is not required for issuance of an Operating License.

1.5.1 Blowdown Heat Transfer Testing 1.5.1.1 Introduction The NRC acceptance criteria for emergency core cooling systems (ECCSs) for light-water power reactors was issued in Section 50.46 of 10 CFR 50 on December 28, 1973.

The steady-state CHF data obtained from 15x15 and 17x17 assembly test programs can be used to assure that the geometrical differences between the two fuel arrays can be correctly treated in the transient correlations.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 8 STATION Requirements for Further Technical Information Section 1.5 UFSAR Page 2 1.5.1.3 Program The program was divided into two phases. Phase I tests were initiated from steady-state conditions, with sufficient power to maintain nucleate boiling throughout the bundle. Controlled ramps of decreasing test section pressure or flow initiated CHF. By applying a series of controlled conditions, investigation of the CHF is studied over a range of qualities and flows, and at pressures relevant to a pressurized water reactor blowdown. Phase I provided separate-effects data for heat transfer correlation development. Typical parameters used for Phase I testing are shown on Table 1.5-1.

Phase II simulates pressurized water reactor behavior during a LOCA to permit definition of the time delay associated with onset of CHF. Tests in this phase covered the large double-ended guillotine cold leg break. The test in Phase II was also started after establishment of typical steady-state operating conditions. The fluid transient was then initiated, and the rod power decay programmed to simulate the actual heat input of fuel rods. The test was terminated when the heater rod temperatures reached a predetermined limit. Typical parameters used for Phase II testing are shown on Table 1.5-2.

1.5.1.4 Test Description The experimental program was conducted in the J-Loop at the Westinghouse Forest Hills Facility with a full length 5x5 rod bundle simulating a section of a 15x15 assembly to determine CHF occurrence under LOCA conditions.

The heater rod bundle used in this program consists of internally heated rods, capable of a maximum power of 18.8 kW/ft, with a total power of 135 kW (for extended periods) over the 12-foot heated length of the rod. Heat was generated internally by means of a varying cross-sectional resistor which approximates a chopped cosine power distribution. Each rod was adequately instrumented with a total of 12 clad thermocouples.

1.5.1.5 Results The experiments in the J-Loop facility resulted in cladding temperature and fluid properties measured as a function of time throughout the blowdown range from 0 to 20 seconds.

Facility modifications and installation of the initial test bundle have been completed. A series of shakedown tests in the J-Loop have been performed. These tests provided data for instrumentation calibration and check-out, and provided information regarding facility control and performance. Initial program tests were performed during the first half of 1975. Under the sponsorship of EPRI, testing was reinitiated during 1976 on the same test bundle. The testing was terminated in November of 1976 and further testing with a new test bundle was conducted during 1978-79. A CHF correlation will be developed from these test results for use in the Westinghouse ECCS analyses.

Power Sources and Between Their Distribution Systems The design totally conforms with the recommendations of this regulatory guide.

The subject matter of this guide is discussed in Subsections 8.1.5.3.a, 8.3.1.1, 8.3.1.2 and 8.3.2.2.

Regulatory Guide 1.7 (Rev. 2, 11/78) Control of Combustible Gas Concentrations in Containment Following a Loss-of-Coolant Accident Seabrook Station employs a large dry containment for containing fission gases and aerosols following an accident, in accordance with GDC 50. Any hydrogen generated during an accident is controlled per GDC 5, 41, 42, 43 and 10 CFR 50.44.

Regulatory Guide 1.7, Rev. 3 details an acceptable method of showing compliance with the GDC.

The design of the Seabrook plant, considering the Westinghouse scope of supply, was analyzed against GDC 41 and 50, using assumptions specified in Rev. 3 of this guide.

The BOP design complies fully with Regulatory Guide 1.7, Rev. 3 and provides the capability to continuously measure the concentration of hydrogen in the containment atmosphere following a beyond-design-basis accident for accident management, including emergency planning.

Refer to Subsection 6.2.5 for further discussion of this subject.

The subject matter of this guide is discussed in Subsections 8.1.5.3.b and 8.3.1.

Regulatory Guide 1.10 (Rev. 1, 1/73) Mechanical (Cadweld) Splices in Reinforcing Bars of Category I Concrete Structures The requirements for crew qualification, inspection, testing and sampling of mechanical splices in reinforcing bars of concrete structures comply with the regulatory positions outlined in Regulatory Guide 1.10, Rev. 1, except that retesting due to the failure of production and sister mechanical splices is in accordance with ASME Section III, Division 2, 1975 edition and Article CC-4333.4.5(b) of the Winter 1979 Addenda in lieu of the corresponding article in the 1975 code. For further discussion on this subject, refer to Subsection 3.8.1.6.

This regulatory guide was withdrawn on July 8, 1981, and superseded by Regulatory Guide 1.136, Rev. 2, 6/81.

Regulatory Guide 1.11 (Rev. 0, 3/71) Instrument Lines Penetrating Primary Reactor Containment The design of instrument lines penetrating primary containment conforms with the intent of Regulatory Guide 1.11, except where modified by Regulatory Guide 1.141.

Additional discussion relative to containment isolation systems is provided in Subsections 6.2.4.1.d, 6.2.4.2m, 7.1.2.2a, and 7.3.1.1b.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 5 Regulatory Guide 1.12 (Rev. 1, 4/74) Instrumentation for Earthquakes Seismic instrumentation has been selected to provide a basis for comparing recorded response to that used as a design basis. This instrumentation is in compliance with the seismic instrumentation program described in Regulatory Guide 1.12, Rev. 1, and as applicable, ANSI 2.2, "Earthquake Instrumentation Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants." For further discussion and exceptions to Regulatory Guide 1.12, Rev. 1, see Subsections 3.7(B).4.1 and 3.7(B).4.2.

Regulatory Guide 1.13 (Rev. 1, 12/75) Spent Fuel Storage Facility Design Basis The design complies with the intent of Regulatory Guide 1.13, Rev. 1. No loss of water from the spent fuel storage area can occur as a result of cask drop [Historical Event] and liner failure, since the spent fuel storage area is isolated by a gate during cask handling operations. See Subsection 9.1.2 for a discussion on the detailed design.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 6 Regulatory Guide 1.14 (Rev. 1, 8/75) Reactor Coolant Pump Flywheel Integrity The NSSS design follows the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.14, Rev. 1, except for the following:

a. Post-Spin Inspection Westinghouse has shown in Reference 1 that the flywheel would not fail at 290 percent of normal speed for a flywheel flaw of 1.15 inches or less in length.

Results for a double-ended guillotine break at the pump discharge, with full separation of pipe ends assumed, showed the maximum overspeed to be less than 110 percent of normal speed. The maximum overspeed was calculated in Reference 1 to be about 280 percent of normal speed for the same postulated break, and an assumed instantaneous loss of power to the reactor coolant pump.

In comparison with the overspeed presented above, the flywheel is tested at 125 percent of normal speed. Thus, the flywheel could withstand a speed up to 2.3 times greater than the flywheel spin test speed of 125 percent provided that no flaws greater than 1.15 inches are present. If the maximum speed were 125 percent of normal speed or less, the critical flaw size for failure would exceed 6 inches in length. Nondestructive tests and critical dimension examinations are all performed before the spin tests. The inspection methods employed (described in Reference 1) provide assurance that flaws significantly smaller than the critical flaw size of 1.15 inches for 290 percent of normal speed would be detected.

Flaws in the flywheel will be recorded in the pre-spin inspection program (see Reference 1). Flaw growth attributable to the spin tests (i.e., from a single reversal of stress, up to speed and back), under the most adverse conditions, is about three orders of magnitude smaller than that which nondestructive inspection techniques are capable of detecting. For these reasons, Westinghouse performs no post-spin inspections and believes that pre-spin test inspections are adequate.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 7

b. Interference-Fit Stresses and Excessive Deformation Much of Revision 1 to Regulatory Guide 1.14 deals with stresses in the flywheel resulting from the interference fit between the flywheel and the shaft. Because the NSSS design specifies a light interference fit between the flywheel and the shaft, at zero speed the hoop stresses and radial stresses at the flywheel bore are negligible. Centering of the flywheel relative to the shaft is accomplished by means of keys and/or centering devices attached to the shaft, and at normal speed, the flywheel is not in contact with the shaft in the sense intended by Revision 1 of Regulatory Guide 1.14. Hence, the definition of "Excessive Deformation," as defined in Revision 1 of Regulatory Guide 1.14, is not applicable to this design since the enlargement of the bore and subsequent partial separation of the flywheel from the shaft does not cause unbalance of the flywheel. Extensive Westinghouse experience with reactor coolant pump flywheels installed in this fashion has verified the adequacy of the design.

The combined primary stress levels, as defined in Revision 1 of Regulatory Guide 1.14 (Regulatory Positions C.2.a and C.2.c) are both conservative and proven, and no changes to these stress levels are necessary. The flywheels are designed to these stress limits and, thus, do not have permanent distortion of the flywheel bore at normal or spin test conditions.

c. Discussion B, Cross-Rolling Ratio of 1 to 3 Specification of a cross-rolling ratio is considered unnecessary since past evaluations have shown that ASME SA-533, Grade B, Class 1 materials produced without this requirement have suitable toughness for typical flywheel applications.

Proper material selection and specification of minimum material properties in the transverse direction adequately ensure flywheel integrity. An attempt to gain isotropy in the flywheel material by means of cross-rolling is unnecessary since adequate margins of safety are provided by both flywheel material selection (ASME SA-533, Grade B, Class 1) and by specifying minimum yield and tensile levels and toughness test values taken in the direction perpendicular to the maximum working direction of the material.

Reactor Internals During Preoperational and Initial Startup Testing The recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.20, Rev. 2, were met by conducting the confirmatory preoperational testing examination. Instrument tests are not considered necessary.

For further discussion on this subject, refer to Subsection 3.9(N).2.4.

Regulatory Guide 1.21 (Rev. 1, 6/74) Measuring, Evaluating, and Reporting Radioactivity in Solid Wastes and Releases of Radioactive Materials in Liquid and Gaseous Effluents from Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants The design guidance of Regulatory Guide 1.21 for the selection of locations and type of effluent measurements to cover all major or potentially significant pathways of release of radioactive materials during normal reactor operation, including anticipated operational occurrences, is incorporated into the station design and the requirements of the Technical Specifications and the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM).

UFSAR Section 11.5 describes in detail, the process and effluent monitoring system and sampling system. Technical Specifications and the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) delineate the radioactive liquid and gaseous waste sampling and analysis program requirements.

The requirements for solid waste handling are also addressed.

The instrument calibration program for instrumentation that supports the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.21 is described in the ODCM.

The calibration of additional instrumentation described as part of the effluent monitoring systems in UFSAR Section 11.5 will be in accordance with written station procedures.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 10 The reporting of radioactivity in solid, liquid, and gaseous waste released from site, including the estimation impact on man, will be in accordance with station Technical Specifications and the ODCM which reference the use of Regulatory Guide 1.21 for reporting format.

Regulatory Guide 1.22 (Rev. 0, 2/72) Periodic Testing of Protection System Actuation Functions NSSS systems meet the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.22, as discussed in Subsections 7.1.2.5, 8.1.5.3 and 8.3.1.

The BOP protection system design is in conformance with IEEE Standard 279-1971. All safety actuation circuitry is provided with a capability for testing with the reactor at power. The protection system, including the engineered safety features test cabinet design, complies with Regulatory Guide 1.22. Periodic testing of protection systems associated with the diesel generators is in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.22, as supplemented by Regulatory Guide 1.108, Rev. 1.

Regulatory Guide 1.23 (Rev. 0, 2/72) Onsite Meteorological Programs The Operational Primary Meteorological Monitoring System described in Subsection 2.3.3 conforms to Regulatory Guide 1.23 with the following exceptions:

  • Since the base of the Primary Meteorological Tower is located approximately 10 feet (3 meters) below plant grade, the lower level sensors are placed 43 feet (13 meters) above ground level in order to be located 33 feet (10 meters) above plant grade.
  • The Primary Meteorological Monitoring System performance requirements for wind speed, wind direction, and delta-temperature are those specified in Regulatory Guide 1.97 (Rev. 3). Compliance with these requirements is discussed in Subsection 2.3.3.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 11 Regulatory Guide 1.24 (Rev. 0, 3/72) Assumptions Used for Evaluating the Potential Radiological Consequences of a Pressurized Water Reactor Radioactive Gas Storage Tank Failure The design and operational bases of the Radioactive Gaseous Waste Disposal System (RGWS) preclude the unilateral assumption that the entire noble gas inventory of the Reactor Coolant System following a cold shutdown near the end of an equilibrium core is stored in one gas decay tank. The maximum activity that could be released as a result of a gas decay tank failure is the activity stored in one gas decay tank plus associated piping during the period immediately before the tank has been isolated from the RGWS. The activity is such that the offsite dose resulting from a tank failure will be well below 10 CFR 100 guidelines. The design of the RGWS prohibits the transfer of all the gaseous radioactivity in the primary coolant immediately following a cold shutdown at the end of an equilibrium core cycle to one gas decay tank. Thus, Section C.1.a of Regulatory Guide 1.24 is not valid for the analysis of the radiological consequences of a gas decay tank failure for this plant design. For additional discussion, see Subsection 15.7.1.

Regulatory Guide 1.25 (Rev. 0, 3/72) Assumptions Used for Evaluating the Potential Radiological Consequences of a Fuel Handling Accident in the Fuel Handling and Storage Facility for Boiling and Pressurized Water Reactors The assumptions in Regulatory Guide 1.25 related to the release of radioactive material from the fuel and fuel storage facility as a result of a fuel handling accident are utilized in the accident analysis described in Subsection 15.7.4, except for the iodine removal efficiencies of the Engineered Safeguard Filter System. The iodine removal efficiencies for this system are assumed to be 95 percent for inorganic iodine and 90 percent for the organic form (see Appendix 15B), based on the design of this system as described in Subsection 6.5.1.

Site specific meteorological data are used to calculate the atmospheric dispersion concentrations in conjunction with the methods described in Section 2.3 in place of the default meteorology represented in Figure 1 of Regulatory Guide 1.25.

Steam-, and Radioactive-Waste-Containing Components of Nuclear Power Plants The component classification system defined in ANSI N18.2-1973 "Nuclear Safety Criteria for the Design of Stationary Pressurized Water Reactor Plants" and ANSI N18.2a - 1975 "Revision and Addendum to Nuclear Safety Criteria for the Design of Stationary Pressurized Water Reactor Plants" has been employed as an alternate method for meeting the intent of Regulatory Guide 1.26, Rev. 3.

Refer to Section 3.2 for further discussion of this subject.

Regulatory Guide 1.27 (Rev. 2, 1/76) Ultimate Heat Sink for Nuclear Power Plants The design is committed to the availability of sufficient cooling tower makeup water in the tower basin for seven days of operation during accident conditions in the event that cooling tower water is unavailable from the main circulating water tunnels. (Regulatory Guide 1.27 requires 30 days.) During this time period, provisions can be made to transport additional makeup water to the site. If necessary, salt water can be pumped into the tower basin from the nearby Brown's River or Hampton Harbor. A portable, self priming, diesel-driven pump is stored onsite along with sufficient lengths of hose for this pump. For additional discussion, refer to Subsection 9.2.5.

Regulatory Guide 1.28 (Rev. 2, 2/79) Quality Assurance Program Requirements (Design and Construction) Endorses ANSI N45.2-1977 The quality assurance program for the BOP during design and construction for safety-related equipment, described in Subsections 17.1.1 and 17.1.2, complied with the requirements of ANSI N45.2 and satisfied Regulatory Guide 1.28, Rev. 2.

The quality assurance program implemented for the NSSS was discussed in Subsection 17.1.3.

This guide and the standard it endorses have been superseded for operations activities by Regulatory Guide 1.33 and ANSI N18.7-1976 which it endorses.

The operational phase complies with ASME NQA-1, 1994 and commitment to Regulatory Guide 1.28 (Safety Guide 28) is per the FPL Quality Assurance Topical Report section A.7.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 13 Regulatory Guide 1.29 (Rev. 3, 9/78) Seismic Design Classification The BOP design complies fully relative to Regulatory Guide 1.29, Rev. 3.

The NSSS design classifies each component important to safety as Safety Class 1, 2 or 3. These classes are qualified to remain functional in the event of the safe shutdown earthquake (SSE),

except where exempted by meeting all of the below requirements. Portions of systems required to perform the same safety function as required of a safety Class component which is part of that system shall be likewise qualified or granted exemption. Conditions to be met for exemption are:

a. Failure would not directly cause a Condition III or IV event (as defined in ANSI N18.2-1973).
b. There is no safety function to mitigate, nor could failure prevent mitigation of, the consequences of a Condition III or IV event.
c. Failure during or following any Condition II event would result in consequences no more severe than allowed for a Condition III event.
d. Routine post-seismic procedures would disclose loss of the safety function.

For further discussion, refer to Section 3.2 and Subsection 10.4.7.

Regulatory Guide 1.31 (Rev. 3, 4/78) Control of Ferrite Content in Stainless Steel Weld Metal The BOP design complies with the intent of Regulatory Guide 1.31, Rev. 3. Refer to Subsection 6.1.1.

The control of delta ferrite in stainless steel welding for NSSS equipment is discussed in Subsection 5.2.3.

Regulatory Guide 1.32 (Rev. 2, 2/77) Criteria for Safety-Related Electric Power Systems for Nuclear Power Plants The safety-related electric power systems design conforms with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.32, Rev. 2, with the following exceptions:

The response to Regulatory Guide 1.75 in this UFSAR Subsection addresses conformance to Regulatory Guide 1.75 which is referenced in Regulatory Guide 1.32 Positions C.1.d and C.1.e.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 14 Regulatory Guide 1.32 states in Position C.1.c that "That battery service test described in IEEE Std 450-1975 should be performed in addition to the battery performance discharge test."

The Technical Specifications require service tests at least once per 18 months and performance discharge tests at least once per 60 months. However, the Technical Specifications allow the performance discharge test to be performed in lieu of (not in addition to) the service test once per 60 month interval.

Regulatory Guide 1.32 states in Position C.1.c that "The battery service test should be performed during refueling operations or at some other outage, with the intervals between tests not to exceed 18 months."

The Technical Specifications permit the battery service test to be performed during non-outage periods. The Seabrook Station design incorporates two 100% capacity battery banks per train.

Removing one of these battery banks from service for surveillance testing does not reduce the system capabilities. The Regulatory Guide assumes only one 100% capacity battery bank per train.

The subject matter of Regulatory Guide 1.32 is further discussed in Subsections 8.1.5.3, 8.3.1 and 8.3.2.

Regulatory Guide 1.42 (Rev. 1, 3/74) Interim Licensing Policy on As Low As Practicable for Gaseous Radioiodine Releases from Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Reactors This regulatory guide was withdrawn by the NRC on March 18, 1976.

Regulatory Guide 1.43 (Rev. 0, 5/73) Control of Stainless Steel Weld Cladding of Low-Alloy Steel Components For the NSSS, the same purpose of Regulatory Guide 1.43 is achieved by requiring qualification of any high heat input process, such as the submerged-arc wide-strip welding process and the submerged-arc 6-wire process used on ASME SA-508, Class 2, material, with a performance test as described in Regulatory Position 2 of the guide. No qualifications are required by the regulatory guide for ASME SA-533 material and equivalent chemistry for forging grade ASME SA-508, Class 3, material.

The fabricator monitors and records the weld parameters to verify agreement with the parameters established by the procedure qualification as stated in Regulatory Position C.3.

Production weld cladding for safety-related BOP components complies with the fabrication requirements specified in Sections III and IX of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.

The supplementary criteria identified in Regulatory Guide 1.43 were also implemented to give reasonable assurance that underclad cracking was avoided in production weld cladding.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 16 Regulatory Guide 1.44 (Rev. 0, 5/73) Control of the Use of Sensitized Stainless Steel Compliance with the regulatory positions of Regulatory Guide 1.44 relative to the NSSS is discussed in part in Subsection 5.2.3.4. Compliance with the regulatory positions of this document is as follows:

a. The use of processing, packaging and shipping controls, and preoperational cleaning to preclude adverse effects of exposure to contaminants on all stainless steel materials are in accordance with Regulatory Position C.1.
b. Austenitic stainless steel materials are utilized in the final heat-treated conditions required by the respective ASME Code,Section II, material specifications for the particular type or grade of alloy in accordance with Regulatory Position C.2.
c. The position concerning material inspection programs and Regulatory Position C.3 is discussed in Subsection 5.2.3.4.
d. The intent of Regulatory Position C.4 is met as discussed in detail in Subsection 5.2.3.4. Exception (b) to Regulatory Position C.4 is covered in the discussion of delta ferrite in Subsection 5.2.3.4.
e. Conformance with Regulatory Position C.5 is as discussed in Subsection 5.2.3.4.

Exception (a) to Regulatory Position C.5 is covered in the discussion of delta ferrite in Subsection 5.2.3.4.

f. Conformance with Regulatory Position C.6 is in the manner discussed in Subsection 5.2.3.4.

Conformance to Regulatory Guide 1.44 relative to the BOP is achieved by imposing detailed requirements on subcontractors and their material suppliers covering processing, welding, heat treatment, cleaning and packaging. Procedures covering these activities during fabrication and erection require engineering review. Although weld procedure qualification test assemblies will not be corrosion-tested as recommended by the guide, sensitization during welding is minimized by prohibiting post-weld stress relief, and by controlling weld heat input. Welding procedures include restrictions governing voltage, amperage, interpass temperature, weaving, and travel speed for automatic process. For applications involving aggressive environments, low carbon stainless steel is specified.

Regulatory Guide 1.47 (Rev. 0, 5/73) Bypassed and Inoperable Status Indication for Nuclear Power Plant Safety Systems Provisions have been made in the design of the Plant Safety Systems to meet the intent of Regulatory Guide 1.47.

Automatic indication, at the system level, of bypassed and inoperable status of safety systems has been provided in the control room. Once activated, the system-level indication will remain on until the activating condition is cleared. Manual system level indication is also provided in the control room for those systems whose complexity increases the possibility of having frequent inoperable conditions that are not monitored by the automatic system.

Additional discussion on this subject is presented in Section 7.1 and Subsection 8.1.5.3b.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 18 Regulatory Guide 1.48 (Rev. 0, 5.73) Design Limits and Loading Combinations for Seismic Category I Fluid System Components NSSS components are designed using the stress limits and loading combinations presented in Section 5.2 and Subsection 3.9(N).1 for ASME Code Class 1 components and in Subsection 3.9(N).3 for ASME Code Class 2 and 3 components. The conservatism in these limits and the associated ASME design requirements precludes any component structural failure.

The operability of active ASME Code Class 1, 2 and 3 valves and active ASME Code Class 2 and 3 pumps (there are no active Class 1 pumps) will be verified by methods detailed in Section 5.2 and Subsection 3.9(N).1 for ASME Code Class 1 components and in Subsection 3.9(N).3 for ASME Code Class 2 and 3 components.

The use of the above-stated methods provides an acceptable alternate method to meeting the guidance of this regulatory guide.

The design stress limits and loading combinations for BOP seismic Category I fluid system components are presented in Subsection 3.9(B).3.1 for the various plant operating conditions, as defined by the subject regulatory guide. The structural integrity of the fluid system components is ensured by the conservatism in these stress limits which are in accordance with industry practice and ASME Section III design requirements.

The assurance of operability of active ASME Code Class 2 and 3 pumps and ASME Code Class 1, 2 and 3 valves are qualified by the approaches delineated in Subsection 3.9(B).3.2.

The methods cited above provide an acceptable program to satisfy the intent of the subject regulatory guide.

Regulatory Guide 1.49 (Rev. 1, 12/73) Power Levels of Nuclear Power Plants The design complies with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.49, Rev. 1, since the projected initial power level is less than 3800 megawatts thermal (MWt), and analyses and evaluation consider operation at 102 percent rated core power level, which is less than the level in this regulatory guide.

For further discussion, refer to Section 1.1.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 19 Regulatory Guide 1.50 (Rev. 0, 5/73) Control of Preheat Temperature for Welding of Low-Alloy Steel Relative to the NSSS, this regulatory guide is considered as applicable to ASME Code,Section III, Class 1 components.

The practice for NSSS Class 1 components is in agreement with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.50, except for Regulatory Positions C.1.b and C.2. For Class 2 and 3 NSSS components, the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.50 are not considered applicable. In the case of Regulatory Position C.1.b, the welding procedures are qualified within the preheat temperature ranges required by Section IX of the ASME Code. NSSS experience has shown excellent quality of welds using the ASME qualification procedures.

In the case of Regulatory Position C.2, the NSSS position documented in Reference 6 has been found acceptable by the NRC.

Weld fabrication of low alloy steel components for the BOP complies with the fabrication requirements specified in Sections III and IX of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.

Regulatory Guide 1.51 Inservice Inspection of ASME Code Class 2 and 3 Nuclear Power Plant Components This guide was withdrawn on July 21, 1975.

Regulatory Guide 1.52 (Rev. 2, 3/78) Design, Testing and Maintenance Criteria for Post-Accident Engineered Safety Feature Atmosphere Cleanup System Air Filtration and Adsorption Units of Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants The design complies with this guide, with Regulatory Guide 1.140 and/or with the exceptions discussed in Subsection 6.5.1 and Table 6.5-1, Table 6.5-2 and Table 6.5-3.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 20 Regulatory Guide 1.53 (Rev. 0, 6/73) Application of the Single-Failure Criterion to Nuclear Power Plant Protection Systems NSSS systems meet the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.53, in accordance with the discussion provided in Subsection 7.1.2.7.

The BOP design complies with the guidance provided in Regulatory Guide 1.53. Refer to Subsection 7.1.2.7 for the discussion on Regulatory Guide 1.53 and to Chapter 7 for the definition of BOP systems and for reference to sections where pertinent discussions can be found.

Regulatory Guide 1.54 (Rev. 0, 6/73) Quality Assurance Requirements for Protective Coatings Applied to Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants Endorses ANSI N101.4-1972 NSSS equipment located in the Containment Building is separated into four categories to identify the applicability of this regulatory guide to various types of equipment. These categories of equipment are as follows:

Category 1 - Large equipment Category 2 - Intermediate equipment Category 3 - Small equipment Category 4 - Insulated/stainless steel equipment.

A discussion of each equipment category follows:

a. Category 1 - Large Equipment The Category 1 equipment consist of the following:

Reactor Coolant System supports Reactor coolant pumps (motor and motor stand)

Accumulator tanks Manipulator crane.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 21 Since this equipment has a large surface area and is procured from only a few vendors, it is possible to implement tight controls over these items.

Stringent requirements have been specified for protective coatings on the NSSS equipment through the use of a painting specification in procurement documents.

This specification defines requirements for:

1. Preparation of vendor procedures
2. Use of coating systems which are qualified to ANSI N101.2
3. Surface preparation
4. Application of the coating systems in accordance with the paint manufacturer's instructions
5. Inspections and nondestructive examinations
6. Exclusion of certain materials
7. Identification of all nonconformances
8. Certifications of compliance.

The vendor's procedures are subject to review by NSSS engineering personnel, and the vendor's implementation of the specification requirements is monitored during the Westinghouse quality assurance surveillance activities relative to the NSSS.

This system of controls provides assurance that the protective coatings will properly adhere to the base metal during prolonged exposure to a post-accident environment present within the Containment Building.

b. Category 2 - Intermediate Equipment The Category 2 equipment consists of the following:

Seismic platform and tie rods Reactor internals lifting rig Head lifting rig Electrical cabinets.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 22 Since these items are procured from a large number of vendors, and individually have very small surface areas, it is not practical to enforce the complete set of stringent requirements which are applied to Category 1 items. However, another specification has been implemented in the NSSS procurement documents. This specification defines to the vendors the requirements for:

1. Use of specific coating systems which are qualified to ANSI N101.2
2. Surface preparation
3. Application of the coating systems in accordance with the paint manufacturer's instructions.

The vendor's compliance with the requirements is also checked during the NSSS quality assurance surveillance activities in the vendor's plant. These measures of control provide a high degree of assurance that the protective coatings will adhere properly to the base metal and withstand the postulated accident environment within the Containment Building.

c. Category 3 - Small Equipment Category 3 equipment consists of the following:

Transmitters Alarm horns Small instruments Valves Heat exchanger supports.

These items are procured from several different vendors and are painted by the vendor in accordance with conventional industry practices. Because the total exposed surface area is very small, no further requirements are specified.

d. Category 4 - Insulated or Stainless Steel Equipment Category 4 equipment consists of the following:

Steam generators - covered with blanket insulation Pressurizer - covered with blanket insulation Reactor pressure vessel - covered with rigid reflective or blanket insulation Reactor cooling piping - stainless steel Reactor coolant pump casings - stainless steel.

Since Category 4 equipment is insulated or is stainless steel, no painted surface areas are exposed within the containment.

Therefore, this regulatory guide is not applicable for Category 4 equipment.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 23 Protective coatings provided for the BOP, except for acceptably limited and inventoried coatings on non-NSSS equipment, piping and structures, are in accordance with ANSI N101.4 "Quality Assurance for Protective Coatings Applied to Nuclear Facilities," used in conjunction with ANSI N45.2 "Quality Assurance Program Requirements for Nuclear Power Plants," and therefore meet Regulatory Guide 1.54.

During the operations phase, compliance with the regulatory guide also includes the following clarification:

a. When the requirements of ANSI N101.4 apply, specific requirements, such as documented site meetings, field demonstrations, substrate priming, applicator reporting, inspection reporting and report forms will be considered on a job-by-job basis and invoked only where found to provide a meaningful QA contribution to that task.
b. When 10 percent or less of the surface of the item requires coating, it is considered to be touch-up work and only a general conformance to these requirements will be necessary.

Regulatory Guide 1.55 (Rev. 0, 6/73) Concrete Placement in Category I Structures The placement of concrete for seismic Category I structures complies with Regulatory Guide 1.55, Rev. 0, except that the documents referenced in the appendix to the guide were used for guidance only, as appropriate. Use of the Maturity Method (correlating strength to integrated temperature-time history) is permitted for monitoring curing of concrete placements (except containment). When this method is implemented to determine in-place strength, curing temperatures can be reduced to 40°F, as permitted by Paragraph 3.2.3 of ACI 308. Temperature control is maintained at least until the placement attains 70 percent of the design strength, in accordance with Paragraph 12.2.3 of ACI 301. The subject is further discussed in Subsections 3.8.1.6 and 3.8.3.6.

This regulatory guide was withdrawn on July 8, 1981 and superseded by Regulatory Guides 1.136 Rev. 2, 6/81 and 1.142.

Regulatory Guide 1.56 Rev. 1, 7/78) Maintenance of Water Purity in Boiling Water Reactors This regulatory guide is not applicable to Seabrook Station.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 24 Regulatory Guide 1.57 (Rev. 0, 6/73) Design Limits and Loading Combinations for Metal Primary Reactor Containment System Components The design complies with Regulatory Guide 1.57, Rev. 0, requirements for the personnel lock, the equipment hatch, and the piping and electrical penetrations inside and outside the containment which are not backed by concrete.

This guide is not considered applicable to other portions of the containment system.

The subject is further discussed in Subsection 3.8.2.

Regulatory Guide 1.59 (Rev. 2, 8/77; Errata 7/80) Design Basis Floods for Nuclear Power Plants The recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.59, Rev. 2, have been followed relative to design basis flooding. The Probable Maximum Precipitation analysis indicates that the site may develop ponding, but that all safety-related structures are not adversely affected. A protective revetment has been designed and constructed to safeguard the site and safety-related facilities from the predicted Probable Maximum Surge level.

For further discussion, refer to Section 2.4.

Regulatory Guide 1.60 (Rev. 1, 12/73) Design Response Spectra for Seismic Design of Nuclear Power Plants The recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.60, Rev. 1, have been followed for the BOP design with the following comments and/or exceptions:

a. The vibratory ground motions represented by the design response spectra are assumed as free-field surface motions because the design response spectra were derived from analysis of historic ground motions recorded at or near ground surface.
b. Because the vertical design response spectra are presented as scaled to lg horizontal ground acceleration, it is implicitly, but inadvertently, required that the vertical peak ground acceleration equal the horizontal peak ground acceleration.

The assumption of the peak vertical acceleration being two-thirds of the peak horizontal acceleration has been acceptable to the NRC. Therefore, to follow the intent of the regulatory guide appropriately, the vertical design response spectra are modified for frequencies greater than 33 Hz, as shown in the Figure 1.8-1.

For further discussion, refer to Subsections 2.5.2.6 and 3.7(B).1.1.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 25 The design response spectra of Regulatory Guide 1.60 are acceptable for the NSSS, with the damping values recommended and approved by the NRC in Reference 7 for use in dynamic analysis of NSSS equipment. For further discussion, refer to Subsection 3.7(N).1.1.

Regulatory Guide 1.61 (Rev. 0, 10.73) Damping Values for Seismic Design of Nuclear Power Plants The damping values of Regulatory Guide 1.61 have, in general, been fully complied with in the BOP design. For further discussion, refer to Subsection 3.7(B).1.3.

Relative to the NSSS, the damping values listed in Regulatory Guide 1.61 are considered acceptable with the single exception of the large piping systems faulted condition value of 3 percent critical. Higher damping values, when justified by documented test data, have been provided for the Regulatory Position C.2. A conservative value of 4 percent critical has therefore been justified by testing for the NSSS reactor coolant loop configuration in Reference 7, and has been approved by the NRC.

For pipe stress verification and for pipe support optimization, the damping values of ASME B&PV Code, Code Case N-411, may be used in lieu of the values listed in Regulatory Guide 1.61.

For further discussion, refer to Subsection 3.7(N).1.3.

Regulatory Guide 1.62 (Rev. 0, 10/73) Manual Initiation of Protective Actions The NSSS protection system meets the recommendations of this regulatory guide, in accordance with the comments of Subsection 7.3.2.2.

The BOP portion of the protection system was designed, built and tested in accordance with IEEE Standard 279-1971, and complies with Regulatory Guide 1.22 and 1.62. The design of the protection system includes the following:

a. Manual initiation of each protective action is provided at the system level, in addition to the means to initiate protective action at the component level.
b. Manual initiation of the protective actions at the system level perform all functions carried out by the automatic initiation signal to the actuating devices, and provide the required action, such as sequencing functions and interlocks.
c. The switches for manual initiation of protective actions at the system level are located in the main control room.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 26

d. The amount of equipment common to both manual and automatic initiation has been minimized. The single failure criterion has been satisfied.

For further discussion, refer to Section 7.3.

Regulatory Guide 1.63 (Rev. 2, 7/78) Electric Penetration Assemblies in Containment Structures for Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants The design conforms to the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.63, Rev. 2, with certain clarifications which are discussed further in Subsections 3.8.2, 8.1.5, 8.3.1.1 and 8.3.1.2.

Regulatory Guide 1.65 (Rev. 0, 10/73) Materials and Inspections for Reactor Vessel Closure Studs Westinghouse is in agreement with Regulatory Guide 1.65 except for material and tensile strength guidelines.

Westinghouse has specified both 45 ft-lb and 25 mils lateral expansion for control of fracture toughness determined by Charpy-V testing, required by the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section III, Summer 1973 Addenda and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix G (July 17, 1973, Paragraph IV.A.4). These toughness requirements assure optimization of the stud bolt material tempering operation with the accompanying reduction of the tensile level when compared with previous ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code requirements.

The specification of both impact and maximum tensile strength as stated in the guide results in unnecessary hardship in procurement of material without any additional improvement in quality.

The closure stud bolting material is procured to a minimum yield strength of 130,000 psi and a minimum tensile strength of 145,000 psi. This strength level is compatible with the fracture toughness requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix G (July, 1973, Paragraph 1.C), although higher strength level bolting materials are permitted by the code. Stress corrosion has not been observed in reactor vessel closure stud bolting manufactured from material of this strength level.

Accelerated stress corrosion test data do exist for materials of 170,000 psi minimum yield strength exposed to marine water environments stressed to 75 percent of the yield strength (given in Reference 2 of the guide). These data are not considered applicable to Westinghouse reactor vessel closure stud bolting because of the specified yield strength differences and a less severe environment; this has been demonstrated by years of satisfactory service experience.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 27 The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code requirement for toughness for reactor vessel bolting has precluded the guide's additional recommendation for tensile strength limitation, since to obtain the required toughness levels, the tensile strength levels are reduced. Prior to 1972, the Code required a 35 ft-lb toughness level which provided maximum tensile strength levels ranging from approximately 155 to 178 kpsi (Westinghouse review of limited data - 25 heats).

After publication of the Summer 1973 Addenda to the Code and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix G, wherein the toughness requirements were modified to 45 ft-lb with 25 mils lateral expansion, all bolt material data reviewed on Westinghouse plants showed tensile strengths of less than 170 kpsi.

The in-service inspection program described in Subsection 5.2.4 provides an acceptable alternate method to following the guidance of this regulatory guide.

Regulatory Guide 1.66 (Rev. 0, 10.73)

Nondestructive Examination of Tubular Products This regulatory guide was withdrawn by the NRC on September 28, 1977.

Regulatory Guide 1.67 (Rev. 0, 10/73) Installation of Overpressure Protection Devices The design criteria for safety valve stations fully conform to the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.67. For further discussion, refer to Subsection 3.9(B).3.3.

Regulatory Guide 1.68 (Rev. 2, 8/78) Initial Test Programs for Water-Cooled Reactor Power Plants The initial test program was conducted in accordance with the intent of Regulatory Guide 1.68, with the exceptions discussed in Subsection 14.2.7.

Regulatory Guide 1.68.1 (Rev. 1, 1/77) Preoperational and Initial Startup Testing of Feedwater and Condensate Systems for Boiling Water Reactor Power Plants This regulatory guide is not applicable to Seabrook Station.

For discussion, refer to Subsection 14.2.6.

Regulatory Guide 1.69 (Rev. 0, 12/73) Concrete Radiation Shields for Nuclear Power Plants The design of the concrete radiation shields fully complies with Regulatory Guide 1.69, Rev. 0.

The applicable documents, design loads and design approach presented in ANSI N101.6-1972 were used in the design.

For further discussion, refer to Subsections 3.8.3.1, 3.8.3.2 and 3.8.3.4.

Regulatory Guide 1.70 (Rev. 3, 11/78) Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants-LWR Edition The FSAR and Updated FSAR were prepared using the recommended format and content of Regulatory Guide 1.70, Rev. 3, with the exception of a listing of any unusually hazardous materials to be used on site that could present unexpected fire hazards or complicate firefighting activities. Regulatory Guide 1.70, Rev. 3, was issued prior to the issuance of 10 CFR 50 - Appendix R "Fire Protection Program for Nuclear Power Facilities Operating Prior to January 1, 1979." As such, the unexpected fire hazards, fire brigade training and the storage and/or use of combustible materials concerns that were addressed in Regulatory Guide 1.70 have been addressed in expanded detail in 10 CFR 50 - Appendix R. 10 CFR 50 - Appendix R, by reference, is part of the UFSAR.

Regulatory Guide 1.71 (Rev. 0, 12/73) Welder Qualification for Areas of Limited Accessibility NSSS practice does not require qualification or requalification of welders for areas of limited accessibility as described by Regulatory Guide 1.71. Experience shows that the current NSSS shop practice produces high quality welds. In addition, the performance of required nondestructive evaluations provides further assurance of acceptable weld quality.

Limited accessibility qualification or requalification in excess of ASME Code,Section III or IX requirements is considered an unduly restrictive requirement for NSSS component fabrication, where the welders' physical position relative to the welds is controlled and does not present any significant problems. In addition, shop welds of limited accessibility are repetitive due to multiple production of similar components, and such welding is closely supervised.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 29 For field application, the type of qualification should be considered on a case-by-case basis due to the great variety of circumstances encountered.

This guide was also not followed for the BOP for the following reasons: "Limited Accessibility" welds, which we define as welds inaccessible from at least 12 inches in any direction, will be identified by contractors and would require us to provide extensive surveillance and field supervision of the affected areas.

Contract specifications require that contractors, regardless of the code requirement, consider the necessity of special inspection techniques.

Qualification alone does not ensure the integrity of welds in limited areas, nor does a continual audit of the welder for the correct application of procedure parameters and welder technique ensure the integrity of production welds. The integrity of welds has been assured by nondestructive examination or special inspection techniques during fabrication and baseline inspections.

For Operational Phase activities under the scope of the Operational QA Program, PSNH welder qualification will comply with the requirements of this regulatory guide, with the following clarifications:

a. With regard to Section C.1 of the regulatory guide, selected welders may, in addition to the normal qualifications, be trained and qualified for limited access conditions.
b. With regard to Section C.2.a of the regulatory guide, when a limited access weld must be performed, the judgment of experienced supervisory personnel will be used to determine whether the above noted additional qualification is satisfactory for the given task, or whether additional training and qualifications for the specific configuration is required.

Regulatory Guide 1.72 (Rev. 2, 11/78) Spray Pond Piping Made From Fiberglass-Reinforced Thermosetting Resin This guide is not applicable to Seabrook Station.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 30 Regulatory Guide 1.73 (Rev. 0, 1/74) Qualification Tests of Electric Valve Operators Installed Inside the Containment of Nuclear Power Plants This regulatory guide endorses IEEE 382-1972, and provides some additional clarification in the area of accessories, such as solenoid valves and limit switches. Qualification of valve appurtenances, such as motor operators, solenoid valves and limit switches, is in accordance with this Regulatory Guide. Details of the qualification of specific motor operators, solenoid valves and limit switches are contained in Reference 15.

For NSSS safety-related motor-operated valves located inside containment, environmental qualification is performed in accordance with IEEE Standards 382-1972 and 323-1974. The qualification program for valve-related equipment is described in Reference 9. Refer to Section 3.11 for additional discussion of environmental qualification.

Regulatory Guide 1.75 (Rev. 2, 9/78) Physical Independence of Electric Systems The design is consistent with the criteria for physical independence of electrical systems established in "Attachment C" of AEC letter dated December 14, 1973 (see Updated FSAR Appendix 8A) and is in general conformance with Regulatory Guide 1.75, Rev. 2, except as follows:

Battery Room Ventilation. Although the four Class 1E batteries are housed in separate safety Class structures, they represent only two redundant load groups (see Subsection 8.3.2). Each load group is served by a separate safety-related ventilation system. There is a cross-tie between the two ventilation systems to allow one system to serve both load groups in case the other system is inoperable. Fire dampers are provided to isolate each battery room.

The subject of this regulatory guide is further discussed in Subsections 8.1.5.3 and 8.3.1.2.

The NSSS and BOP furnished systems comply with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.75, Rev. 2, as discussed in Subsection 7.1.2.2.

The requirements of position C4, as it relates to cables for the associated circuits is clarified as follows:

Instrumentation, control and power cables used for the associated circuits will not be covered by the Operational Quality Assurance Program (OQAP). However, pragmatic controls will be applied to these items. The actual implementation of these controls will be defined by the programs manuals used to control specific activities at Seabrook Station. Implementation of these programmatic will be verified by Quality Assurance personnel to the extent necessary to insure proper application. For further details on provisions and considerations for the associated circuits, see Updated FSAR Chapter 8, Subsection 8.3.1.4b.1(d).*

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 31 The Seabrook cable and raceway separation criteria (see Updated FSAR Subsection 8.3.1.4) is a combination of the standard criteria given in Attachment C of AEC Letter dated December 14, 1973 (see Updated FSAR Appendix 8A) and IEEE 384-1974 and criteria established by analysis and testing as permitted by Attachment C and IEEE 384-1974.

Regulatory Guide 1.76 (Rev. 1, 3/07) Design Basis Tornado for Nuclear Power Plants (Rev. 0, 4/74)

The structural designs for withstanding the design basis tornado fully comply with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.76, Rev. 0. For further discussion, refer to Section 3.5 and Subsections 3.3.2, 3.8.1 and 3.8.4. As of April 2019, Regulatory Guide, Rev. 1 is followed for design basis tornado characteristics for potential uplift of Category I Electrical Tunnel manway removable concrete plugs and slabs.

Regulatory Guide 1.77 (Rev. 0, 5.74) Assumptions Used for Evaluating a Control Rod Ejection Accident for Pressurized Water Reactors Methods and criteria are documented in Reference 3 and 8, which has been reviewed and accepted by the NRC.

The results of analyses show agreement with Regulatory Positions C.1 and C.3. However, exception has been taken to Regulatory Position C.2 which implies that the rod ejection accident should be considered as an emergency condition. This is considered a faulted condition as stated in ANSI N18.2. Faulted condition stress limits are applied for this accident. This is an acceptable alternate method to following the guidance of this regulatory guide. For further discussion, refer to Subsection 15.4.8.

Regulatory Guide 1.78 (Rev. 1, 12/01) Assumptions for Evaluating the Habitability of a Nuclear (Rev. 0, 6/74) Power Plant Control Room During a Postulated Hazardous Chemical Release As explained in Section 2.2, there are no significant manufacturing plants, chemical plants, refineries, storage facilities, mining, and quarrying operations, oil pipelines, wells or storage facilities identified within a five-mile radius of the site. Local natural gas pipelines within the five-mile radius of the site have been evaluated for potential impact to plant operation. The evaluation has concluded that there is no impact from accidental release of natural gas.

Section 2.2 also provides information regarding transportation facilities and available data regarding the use of these transportation facilities.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 32 Based on available information, it is concluded that the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.78 are met.

Rev. 0 of Regulatory Guide 1.78 was followed for evaluations prior to December 2008. Any evaluations done after this date are in compliance with Regulatory Guide 1.78 Rev. 1. Also, prior to December 2008, Regulatory Guide 1.95, Protection of Nuclear Power Plant Control Room Operators Against Accidental Chlorine Release, was followed for evaluated chlorine hazards to the Control Room. As of December 2008, Regulatory Guide 1.78, Rev. 1 is followed for evaluation of potential chlorine hazards.

Regulatory Guide 1.79 (Rev. 1, 9/75) Preoperational Testing of Emergency Core Cooling Systems for Pressurized Water Reactors The initial preoperational test program will be conducted in accordance with the intent of Regulatory Guide 1.79, with the exceptions discussed in Subsection 14.2.7.

For further discussion, refer to Section 14.2.

Regulatory Guide 1.81 (Rev. 1, 1/75) Shared Emergency and Shutdown Electric Systems for Multi-Unit Nuclear Power Plants The power system design is in conformance with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.81, Rev. 1. Seabrook Station is a single unit plant; therefore no portion of the power system is shared.

Regulatory Guide 1.82 (Rev. 0, 6/74) Sumps for Emergency Core Cooling and Containment Spray Systems The sump design meets the intent of the positions of Regulatory Guide 1.82. Guidance from Regulatory Guide 1.82, Revision 3, and NEI 04-07, Pressurized Water Reactor Sump Performance Evaluation Method, was used to size and evaluate the replacement ECCS/CBS sump strainers.

Regulatory Guide 1.84 (all revisions) Design and Fabrication Code Case Acceptability - ASME Section III Division I This regulatory guide is used for the BOP design where applicable. The ASME Code Case interpretations were used for design and fabrication after they had been reviewed to assure that their use would not compromise the component design or reliability. Table 1.8-2 lists specific Code Cases, not included in this Regulatory Guide, for which authorization to use was requested of, and granted by, the NRC.

The NSSS suppliers have:

a. Limited the use of Code Cases to those listed in Regulatory Position C.1 of Regulatory Guides 1.84 and 1.85, except as allowed below.
b. Identified and requested permission for use of any Code Cases not listed in Regulatory Position C.1 of Regulatory Guides 1.84 and 1.85 where use of such Code Cases is needed by the supplier.
c. Permitted continued use of a Code Case considered acceptable at the time of equipment order, where such Code Case was subsequently annulled or amended.

NRC permission has been requested for the use of Class 1 Code Cases needed by NSSS suppliers and not then endorsed in Regulatory Position C.1 of Regulatory Guides 1.84 and 1.85, and permits supplier use only if NRC permission is obtained or is otherwise assured (e.g.; a later version of the regulatory guide includes endorsement).

Regulatory Guide 1.85 (all revisions) Materials Code Case Acceptability - ASME Section III Division I Refer to the discussion of Regulatory Guide 1.84.

Regulatory Guide 1.85 requires that components and supports be identified that use Code Case N242-1. The code case is applied to safety relief valves, thermowells, and generically to supports. The use of the code case is documented in the data reports.

Regulatory Guide 1.87 (Rev. 1, 6/75) Guidance for Construction of Class 1 Components in Elevated Temperature Reactors (Supplement to ASME Section III Code Cases 1592, 1593, 1594, 1595 and 1596)

This regulatory guide is not applicable to Seabrook Station.

Regulatory Guide 1.89 (Rev. 1, 6/84) Qualification of Class 1E Equipment for Nuclear Power Plants The guidance provided by Regulatory Guide 1.89, which endorses IEEE 323-1974 with certain exceptions, i.e., source terms and the use of IEEE 344-1971, has been followed for the BOP equipment except for those instances discussed below:

a. Qualification of Class 1E electrical, instrumentation and control equipment meets the requirements of IEEE 323-1974, with exceptions. Further discussion regarding qualification is provided in Sections 3.10, 3.11 and Reference 15.

Exceptions: Turbine trip-related inputs to the Reactor Trip System consist of the following:

1. Turbine stop valve position
2. Turbine Electro-Hydraulic System fluid pressure
3. Turbine impulse chamber pressure.

This equipment was tested in accordance with the guidelines of IEEE Standard 323-1974.

b. The total integrated radiation doses to be used in qualification of the Class 1E equipment will be a combination of normal operating environment and post-accident environment, with credit taken for locations, shielding and the time for which the equipment is required to perform its function.

Values of integrated doses to be used in the qualification of Class 1E equipment are given in Reference 15.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 35 For the safety-related equipment located inside the containment and required after a LOCA, the sources used in establishing the integrated dose are consistent with Regulatory Guide 1.89, Rev. 0. Both instantaneous gamma and beta doses have been considered in establishing the integrated doses.

The seismic qualification of electrical, instrumentation and control equipment meets the requirements of IEEE 344-1975.

Conformance of NSSS Class 1E equipment with IEEE Standard 323-1974 (including IEEE Standard 323A-1975 position statement of July 23, 1975) and Regulatory Guide 1.89 is being demonstrated by an appropriate combination of any or all of the following: type testing, operating experience, qualification by analysis and on-going qualification programs. This commitment is being satisfied by implementation of Reference 9.

Regulatory Guide 1.90 (Rev. 1, 8/77) Inservice Inspection of Prestressed Concrete Containment Structures with Grouted Tendons This guide is not applicable to Seabrook Station since grouted tendons are not employed.

Regulatory Guide 1.91 (Rev. 1, 2/78) Evaluation of Explosions Postulated to Occur on Transportation Routes Near Nuclear Power Plants The guidance provided by Regulatory Guide 1.91, Rev. 1, has been followed. For further discussion, refer to Section 2.2.

Regulatory Guide 1.92 (Rev. 1, 2/76) Modes and Spatial Components in Seismic Response Analyses The procedure for combining modal responses for NSSS equipment is presented in Subsection 3.7(N).3.2. This procedure is considered as an alternate acceptable solution that provides a basis for findings requisite to issuance or continuance of a permit or license by the NRC.

The procedure used for BOP equipment design fully conforms with the guidance of Regulatory Guide 1.92, Rev. 1, relative to seismic system analysis. The requirements for the combination of modes and spatial components in seismic subsystem analyses also complies with this guide, except that closely spaced modes for seismic analyses of components by the normal mode approach are combined in accordance with the two methods indicated in Subsection 3.7(B).3.6.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 36 Regulatory Guide 1.92 presents three other means of combining closely spaced modes.

Justification for nonconformance is that the methods prescribed in the guide are not here applicable since the construction permit application docket date is before the date of issue of the guide. In addition, the method used is deemed more conservative. For further discussion, refer to Section 3.7(B) and Subsection 3.7(B).3.7.

Regulatory Guide 1.93 (Rev. 0, 12/74) Availability of Electric Power Sources The Technical Specification (T/S) ac and dc power sources allowable out-of-service times (action statements) are based on RG 1.93. Where differences exist between the T/S and RG 1.93, the T/S are the governing document.

RG 1.93 does not allow out-of-service times to be used for preventative maintenance that incapacitates a power source. These activities are to be scheduled for refueling or shutdown periods. This is interpreted to also apply to surveillance activities. Preventative maintenance and surveillance activities are performed on-line when permitted by the T/S and with appropriate consideration of the effects on safety, reliability, and availability.

Regulatory Guide 1.95 (Rev. 1, 2/77) Protection of Nuclear Power Plant Control Room Operators Against Accidental Chlorine Release The relevant portions of Regulatory Guide 1.95 are complied with based on the findings that the plant design does not include the storage of chlorine within 100 meters of the control room, excluding small laboratory quantities, nor is there chlorine stored in excess of the maximum allowable chlorine inventory, as given as a function of distance in Regulatory Guide 1.95 for Type I control rooms (refer to Subsection 2.2.3.1).

Regulatory Guide 1.95 is superseded by Regulatory Guide 1.78, Rev. 1, Assumptions for Evaluating the Habitability of a Nuclear Power Plant Control Room During a Postulated Hazardous Chemical Release. [See the discussion under RG 1.78.]

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 38 Regulatory Guide 1.101 (Rev. 2, 10/81) Emergency Planning for Nuclear Power Plants The Seabrook Station Radiological Emergency Plan was developed based on the requirements of Appendix E to 10 CFR 50 and Revision 1 of NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP 1; therefore, the recommendations of this regulatory guide have been followed with the exceptions noted below:

Exceptions are discussed in Section 1.8 (see Regulatory Guides 1.23 and 1.97).

  • The atmospheric transport and diffusion assessment capabilities are described in Section 10.1 of the Seabrook Station Radiological Emergency Plan.
  • The capability to remote interrogate all systems producing meteorological data and effluent transport and diffusion estimates by emergency response organizations is not available.

The Seabrook Station Radiological Emergency Plan complies with the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, and is based on the criteria in NUREG-0654/REP-1, Rev. 1, with the following clarifications and exceptions:

1. 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.D.3. requires licensees to have the capability to notify responsible state and local governmental agencies within 15 minutes after declaring an emergency. For a radiological emergency at Seabrook Station, Massachusetts and New Hampshire state governments are responsible for deciding protective actions to be recommended to the public and for initiating public alert and notification. Therefore, Seabrook Station maintains the capability to notify Massachusetts and New Hampshire state authorities within 15 minutes after declaring an emergency. This capability does not include notification of local governmental agencies. Under the state radiological emergency response plans, the states are responsible for notifying local governmental agencies.
2. NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, criterion B.5 states that licensees shall have the capability to staff on-shift emergency response functions and to augment on-shift emergency response capabilities in accordance with NUREG-0654, Table B-1. The Seabrook Station On-Shift Emergency Response Organization (ERO) includes one health physics technician versus two specified by Table B-1.

The Seabrook Station Augmented ERO does not include eleven (11) 30-minute responders specified on Table B-1. It was determined that the functions specified on Table B-1 could be addressed by on-shift personnel or that no emergency planning related provisions or station procedures require the use of these personnel prior to activation of emergency facilities. (Ref. NRC IR 94-15 and NRC letter to T.C. Feigenbaum dated March 6, 1995.)

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 39

3. NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, criterion J.7 states that licensees shall establish a mechanism for recommending protective actions to appropriate state and local authorities in accordance with the recommendations set forth in the Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents (EPA-520/1-75-001). EPA-520/1-75-001 and the protective action guides therein have been superseded by EPA 400, Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents, 1991. The SSREP follows the protective action recommendation guidance in EPA 400 and in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, Supplement 3, November 2011. The guidance of Supplement 3 provides an acceptable method to comply with Appendix E to Part 50, Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR)

Section IV, paragraph 3 in the use of evacuation time estimates in the formulation of protective action recommendations (PARs) for the plume exposure emergency planning zone, and provides guidance for the provisions of 10 CFR 50.47(b)(10) in the development of a range of PARs. Supplement 3 also provides guidance to support the information in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission finds to be an acceptable method of meeting the requirements in 10 CFR 50.47(b)(7) for the development of a public information program.

4. NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, criterion J.10.a states that radiological emergency plans shall include maps of evacuation areas, relocation centers in host areas and shelter areas. These details are included in the Massachusetts and New Hampshire Radiological Emergency Response Plans only. The Massachusetts and New Hampshire plans are referenced in the SSREP.
5. NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, criterion J.10.m states that radiological emergency plans shall include expected local protection afforded by residential units or other shelter for direct and inhalation exposure. See exception number 3 above.
6. NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, criterion O.2 states that the training program for members of the onsite emergency organization shall, besides classroom training, include practical drills. The listed attributes of these practical drills are as follows:
  • Each individual demonstrates his/her ability to perform his/her assigned emergency function.
  • On-the-spot correction of erroneous performance and demonstration of proper performance by the instructor.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 40 Candidates for the Seabrook Station ERO are required to complete applicable training and a position-specific qualification guide prior to being assigned to the ERO. The process of administering a qualification guide to a candidate includes the attributes noted above, including a proficiency demonstration with applicable procedures and equipment. All such demonstrations are supervised and assessed by a qualified instructor. Where needed, the instructor corrects erroneous performance and demonstrates proper performance.

7. NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, criterion P.5 states that revised pages of emergency plans shall be dated and marked to show where changes have been made. The Seabrook Station manuals and procedures administration program requires that manual (the SSREP is a manual) and procedure changes shall be delineated in a figure or section titled "Summary of Changes" that is created and updated for each revision or change. This is done in lieu of revision bars and individually dated pages. The SSREP also contains a list of effective pages (LOEP) allowing the user to identify the current revision number applicable to each page.
8. NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, criterion P.8 recommends that plans submitted for review should be cross-referenced to NUREG-0654 criteria. The SSREP contains a cross-reference to NUREG-0654 criteria. The cross-reference is submitted with plan changes only if the changes cause the cross-reference to change. If the cross-reference is not submitted with a plan change, the extant cross-reference in the SSREP continues to reference correctly where the SSREP addresses NUREG-0654 criteria.
9. NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, Appendix 1, Example Initiating Condition Alert #4 reads: "Steam line break with significant (e.g., greater than 10 gpm) primary to secondary leak rate (PWR) or MSIV malfunction causing leakage (BWR)." The Seabrook Station Emergency Classification System (SSECS) does not include an initiating condition that explicitly addresses this example initiating condition. The SSECS incorporates Seabrook Station specific initiating conditions that address applicable aspects of Example Initiating Condition Alert #4.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 41

10. NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1. Appendix 1, Example Initiating Condition Alert #9 reads: "Coolant pump seizure leading to fuel failure." The SSECS does not include this initiating condition, because this condition is subsumed under series 8 EALs in the SSECS that consider fuel failure conditions for any cause.

There are no specific diagnostics in the Seabrook Station emergency response procedures that tell Control Room operators that a coolant pump seizure has occurred. Under the SSECS, the amount of reactor coolant system activity from the failed fuel would drive the emergency classification rather than the cause of the fuel failure. This approach is consistent with guidance in NRC memorandum, Branch Position on Acceptable Deviations to Appendix 1 to NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, dated July 11, 1994.

11. NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, Appendix 3 states that every year, or in conjunction with an exercise, FEMA, in cooperation with the utility operator, and/or the state and local governments will take a statistical sample of residents within about 10 miles to assess the public's ability to hear the sirens and their awareness of the meaning of the prompt notification message and availability of public information. Based on subsequent FEMA guidance, Guidance Memorandum AN-1, April 1987, FEMA has not conducted, nor required, an additional statistical survey for the Seabrook Station Public Alert and Notification System following the initial system acceptance test.
12. NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, Appendix 3 suggests the following type and frequency of siren tests: (1) silent test every two weeks; (2) growl test quarterly and when preventive maintenance is performed; and (3) a complete cycle test annually and as required for formal exercises. The Seabrook Station siren system testing program does not include a quarterly growl test or annual complete cycle test, because the capability of each siren to receive an activation signal to rotate for a full cycle and to emit an alert tone is tested every two weeks using vendor designed ultra-sonic "Silent Test" circuitry.
13. NSIR/DPR-ISG-01 (November 2011) provided updated guidance to NUREG-0654 with regard to conducting off-hours drills and exercises. Seabrook complies with the guidance found in NSIR/DPR-ISG-01, specifically that provisions are made to start a drill or exercise between 6:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. at least once in every eight-year exercise cycle and that some drills or exercises should be unannounced.

For further discussion, refer to Section 2.4 and Subsection 3.4.1.

Regulatory Guide 1.103 (Rev. 1, 10/76) Post-Tensioned Prestressing Systems for Concrete Reactor Vessels and Containments This regulatory guide is not applicable to Seabrook Station. It was with-drawn on July 8, 1981 and superseded by Regulatory Guide 1.136, Rev. 2, 6/81.

Regulatory Guide 1.104 (Rev. 0, 2/76) Overhead Crane Handling Systems for Nuclear Power Plants This regulatory guide was withdrawn by the NRC on August 16, 1979.

Regulatory Guide 1.105 (Rev. 1, 11/76) Instrument Spans and Setpoints The recommendations of this regulatory guide have been followed with the following exceptions and clarifications:

The Technical Specifications for limiting safety system settings provide the margin from the nominal setpoint to the Technical Specification allowable value to account for drift when measured at the rack during periodic testing. The allowances between the Technical Specification allowable value and the safety limit include the following items:

(a) the inaccuracy of the instrument, (b) process measurement accuracy, (c) uncertainties in the calibration, (d) the potential transient overshoot determined in the accident analyses (this may include compensation for the dynamic effect) and (e) environmental effects on equipment accuracy caused by postulated or limiting postulated events (only for those systems required to mitigate consequences of an accident). The setpoints were chosen for Seabrook so that the accuracy of the instrument is adequate to meet the assumptions of the safety analysis.

The range of instruments has been chosen based on the span necessary for the instrument's function. Narrow range instruments are being used where necessary. Instruments have been selected based on expected environmental and accident conditions. Qualification testing of instrumentation has been performed as necessary to verify the functionality of the instruments.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 43 Seismic qualification testing has verified that setpoint securing devices are not required to maintain accuracy or minimize setpoint changes. Integral setpoint securing devices have not been supplied.

The assumptions used in selecting the setpoint values in Regulatory Position C.1, and the minimum margin with respect to the Technical Specification limit and calibration uncertainty, are documented in the setpoint calculations.

BOP safety-related setpoints have been established using the same methodology as was used for the NSSS setpoints.

Regulatory Guide 1.106 (Rev. 1, 3/77) Thermal Overload Protection for Electric Motors on Motor-Operated Valves Overload protection is in conformance with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.106, Rev. 1. The subject matter of this guide is further discussed in Subsections 8.1.5.3 and 8.3.1.1.

Regulatory Guide 1.107 (Rev. 1, 2/77) Qualifications for Cement Grouting for Prestressing Tendons in Containment Structures This guide is not applicable to Seabrook Station.

Regulatory Guide 1.108 (Rev. 1, 8/77) Periodic Testing of Diesel Generators Used As Onsite (Errata 9/77) Electric Power Systems at Nuclear Power Plants The diesel generator testing is in conformance with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.108 except as noted below.

The requirements of position C.1.c are met with the following exception:

Temporary jumpers are used on a limited basis during the performance of periodic tests for the emergency diesel generators.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 44 The above exception to Regulatory Guide 1.108 is determined to be acceptable because the NRC has previously accepted the use of temporary jumpers for testing of protection system circuits addressed in UFSAR Section 7.1.2.11.d. This position is further supported by the discussion in SER Section 7.3.2.14. The NRC based its acceptance on the combination of explicit test procedures and administrative controls (independent second-person verification) which met the guidelines in NRC IE Information Notice No. 84-37, Use of Lifted Leads and Jumpers During Maintenance or Surveillance Testing. These guidelines provide reasonable assurance that the instrumentation will be restored to the correct configuration following testing. The use of jumpers is minimized and is performed only where permanent hardware changes are not practical or cannot be justified.

The requirements of position C.2.a(5) were met for preoperational testing as follows:

The functional capability at full load temperature was demonstrated by performing the test outlined in position C.2.a(l) and (2) immediately following the full load carrying capability test described in position C.2.a(3). The full load carrying capability of position C.2.c(2) was demonstrated for greater than or equal to five minutes.

The above exception to Regulatory Guide 1.108 met the intent of position C.2.a(5) by demonstrating the capability of the diesel generator to start and accept load at full load temperature.

The requirements of position C.2.a(3) will be met on an interval specified in the Surveillance Frequency Control Program as follows:

Full load carrying capability will be verified by operating the diesel generator at a load of greater than or equal to 5600 kW and less than or equal to 6100 kW. The 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> rating of the diesel generator will be verified by operating the diesel generator at a load of greater than or equal to 6363 kW and less than or equal to 6700 kW.

The above exception to Regulatory Guide 1.108 meets the intent of position (3) by demonstrating that the diesel generators are capable of carrying approximate full load for an interval of not less than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 45 The requirements of position C.2.a(5) will be met on an interval specified in the Surveillance Frequency Control Program as follows:

The functional capability at full load temperature will be demonstrated by verifying that the diesel generator will start from a manual or automatic start signal within five minutes of shutdown following the 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> surveillance run. The generator voltage and frequency shall be 4160 +/- 420 volts and 60 +/- 1.2 Hz within 10 seconds after the start signal, and the diesel generator shall be operated for at least five minutes.***

The above exception to Regulatory Guide 1.108 meets the intent of position (5) by demonstrating the capability of the diesel generator to start at normal operating temperature.

The periodic testing requirements of C.2.c(2) will be met as follows:

Full load carrying capability will be verified by periodically running the diesel generator at a load of greater than or equal to 5600 kW and less than or equal to 6100 kW for at least 60 minutes.

The above exception to Regulatory Guide 1.108 meets the intent of position (2) by demonstrating that the diesel generators are capable of carrying approximate full load for a period of not less than 60 minutes.

The periodic testing interval requirements of position C.2.d will be met as follows:

The periodic testing interval will be no more than 31 days per T/S 4.8.1.1.2.a. The corrective actions for a test failure will be determined by the maintenance rule emergency diesel generator performance criteria.

The above exception to Regulatory Guide 1.108 meets the intent of position C.2.d by maintaining the periodic test interval and ensuring that adequate corrective actions are implemented if a test failure occurs.

The records and reporting requirements of position C.3.b will be met as follows:

If the diesel generator fails to start during this test, then it is not necessary to repeat the preceding 24-hour test. Instead, the diesel generator may be operated at greater than or equal to 5600 kW and less than or equal to 6100 kW for 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> or until operating temperature has stabilized. The load range is provided to preclude routine overloading of the diesel generator. Momentary transients outside the load range, due to changing bus conditions, do not invalidate the test.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 46 Significant emergency diesel generator failures will be reported in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.72 and 50.73. Footnote 3 in position C.3.b references Regulatory Guide 1.16. UFSAR Section 1.8 documents compliance with Regulatory Guide 1.16.

The above exception to Regulatory Guide 1.108 meets the intent of position C.3.b by providing NRC notification of diesel generator failures in accordance with the licensee's reporting requirements.

For further discussion, refer to Subsections 8.1.5.3 and 8.3.1.1 and Regulatory Guide 1.22.

Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Rev. 1, 10/77) Calculation of Annual Doses to Man From Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance With 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I This guide describes NRC-suggested models and assumptions for estimating the doses to humans from radioactivity expected to be routinely discharged from the plant to the hydrosphere and atmosphere during normal operation. To demonstrate compliance with the "As Low As Is Reasonably Achievable" dose criteria of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, all dose calculations have used the suggested models and assumptions of this regulatory guide. The details of the dose evaluations are provided in Subsections 11.2.3 and 11.3.3.

Regulatory Guide 1.110 (Rev. 0, 3/76) Cost-Benefit Analysis for Radwaste Systems Systems for Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Reactors This regulatory guide describes an acceptable method for performing a cost benefit analysis for liquid and gaseous radwaste system components to demonstrate compliance with Section II.D of Appendix I to 10 CFR 50. However, on September 4, 1975 (F.R.172), the Commission amended Appendix I of 10 CFR 50 to allow applicants who filed applications for construction permits for light-water-cooled nuclear power reactors which were docketed on or after January 2, 1971, and prior to June 4, 1976, the option of dispensing with the cost-benefit analysis required by Paragraph II.D of Appendix I. This option permits an applicant to design radwaste management systems to satisfy the Guides on Design Objectives for Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Reactors proposed in the Concluding Statement of Position of the Regulatory Staff in Docket RM-50-2, dated February 20, 1974. As indicated in the Statement of Considerations included with the amendment, the Commission noted it is unlikely that further reductions to radioactive material releases would be warranted on a cost-benefit basis for light-water-cooled nuclear power reactors having radwaste systems and equipment determined to be acceptable under the proposed staff design objectives set forth in RM-50-2.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 47 In a letter to the Commission dated October 8, 1975, Public Service Company of New Hampshire chose to comply with the Commission's September 4, 1975 amendment to Appendix I, eliminating the necessity to perform a cost-benefit analysis as required by Paragraph II.D of Appendix I. Therefore, Regulatory Guide 1.110 is not applicable to the Seabrook design evaluation.

Regulatory Guide 1.111 (Rev. 1, 7/77) Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water-Cooled Reactors Atmospheric dispersion of routine gaseous effluent releases are calculated using a computer code, as described in Subsection 2.3.5, which is based, in part, on Regulatory Guide 1.111 modeling methodology and applicable procedures.

Regulatory Guide 1.112 (Rev. O-R, 4/76; Reissued 5/77) Calculation of Releases of Radioactive Materials in Gaseous and Liquid Effluents from Light-Water-Cooled Power Reactors The objective of this guide is to provide an acceptable method of calculating realistic radioactive source terms for the evaluation of radioactive waste treatment systems in determining whether the design objectives of Appendix I to 10 CFR 50 are met and in determining the impact of radioactive effluents on the environment. The regulatory guide references NUREG-0017 (PWR-GALE computer code) as an acceptable method for the calculation of radioactive source terms from PWRs. For Seabrook, expected annual average liquid and gaseous radioactive effluents have been estimated utilizing the PWR-GALE code in conformance with this regulatory guide. Subsections 11.2.3 and 11.3.3 list the calculated radioactive releases for liquid effluents and gaseous effluents, respectively.

Regulatory Guide 1.113 (Rev. 1, 4/77) Estimating Aquatic Dispersion of Effluents from Accidental and Routine Reactor Releases for the Purpose of Implementing Appendix I The aquatic dispersion of effluents was estimated as recommended by Regulatory Guide 1.113, Revision 1, using results from physical model studies and an analytical dispersion model.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 48 The initial dilution (nearfield region) was estimated using results from physical model studies of the thermal discharge performed by Alden Research Laboratories (Reference 13). The model was a 1 to 115 undistorted Fronde model in which temperature rise patterns were measured.

Because very little heat transfer occurs in the nearfield region of the model, the initial dilution of any effluent constituent can be determined from the temperature rise reduction as given by the physical model.

The farfield concentration of effluent constituents was estimated using an analytical dispersion model developed by Brocard and Kirby (Reference 14). This model was run with zero heat transfer to simulate the release of a conservative constituent.

Regulatory Guide 1.114 (Rev. 1, 11/76) Guidance on Being Operator at the Controls of a Nuclear Power Plant The criteria for being a control room operator comply with the requirements of NRC Regulatory Guide 1.114, Rev. 1. For further discussions, refer to Sections 13.1 and 13.2.

Regulatory Guide 1.115 (Rev. 1, 7/77) Protection Against Low-Trajectory Turbine Missiles The plant design conforms to Regulatory Guide 1.115, Rev. 1, except for Position 4. The probability of damage due to low trajectory missiles is greater than the required 10-3. For further discussion, refer to Subsection 3.5.1.3.

Regulatory Guide 1.117 (Rev. 1, 4/78) Tornado Design Classification The plant design complies with Regulatory Guide 1.117, Rev. 1.

Although the condensate storage tank is not designed for missiles or a pressure drop, the system will function if the tank fails because the shield wall is designed for missiles and is waterproofed to contain water from the tank.

The Ultimate Heat Sink Cooling Tower is not designed for tornado missiles. The primary source for water is the Atlantic Ocean through the underground tunnels, which will function during a tornado event.

For further discussion on this subject, refer to Section 3.5.

Detailed clarifications on the regulatory positions are presented below:

a. Regulatory Position C.2 "Protective Action Systems" is interpreted to mean the electric, instrumentation and controls portions of those protection systems and equipment actuated and controlled by the protection system.
b. Regulatory Position C.6 Equipment performing control functions, but actuated from protection system sensors, is not part of the safety system and will not be tested for time response.
c. Regulatory Position C.10 Testing, although not tied to accident conditions, will be tied to the range of the parameter that is varied. This range is determined by expected design basis event conditions and anticipated operational occurrences.
d. Regulatory Position C.11 Status, annunciating, display, and monitoring functions, except for those related to the Post-Accident Monitoring System (PAMS), are considered to be control functions. Reasonability checks, i.e., comparison between or among similar such display functions, will be made. Otherwise, the clarification note in Item b above, pertaining to Position C.6, is observed.
e. Regulatory Positions C.12 and C.13 Response time testing for control functions operated from protection system sensors will not be performed. Nuclear Instrumentation System detectors will not be tested for time response. (See TS Technical Requirement 1 of the Technical Requirements Manual.)

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 50

f. Regulatory Position C.14 Position C.14 has the same requirement as position C.6 of Regulatory Guide 1.1118, Revision 2. Refer to the discussion for position C.6 of Regulatory Guide 1.1118, Revision 2.

Additional clarifications with regard to IEEE 338-1975 are included in Subsection 7.1.2.11.

The 1E electric power and safety system design and testing will also conform to the guidance of Regulatory Guide 1.118, Rev. 2, and the requirements of IEEE 338-1977 with the following clarifications:

a. "Protective Action Systems" is defined to mean the electric, instrumentation and controls portions of those protection systems and equipment actuated and controlled by the protection system.
b. Equipment performing control functions, but actuated from protection system sensors is not part of the safety system and will not be tested for time response.
c. Status, annunciating, display, and monitoring functions, except those related to the Post-Accident Monitoring Systems (PAMS) are considered to be control functions. Reasonability checks, i.e., comparison between or among similar such display functions, will be made.
d. Regulatory Position C.6 Position C.6 states that temporary jumpers may be used with portable test equipment where the safety system equipment to be tested is provided with facilities specifically designed for connection of this test equipment. The intention of this position is to ensure that test setups are of a quality that does not degrade the equipment and that makeshift test setups are not used.

Temporary jumpers are used on a limited basis during the performance of periodic tests for various electric power and protection systems. Regulatory Guide 1.118 does not provide details on what constitutes facilities specifically designed for connection of test equipment. When temporary jumpers are used during testing, they are connected via devices that are suitable for ensuring a reliable connection to the equipment under test. Certain points of connection may not have been specifically designed for the connection of test equipment, but the points are evaluated for acceptability for each application. This meets the intent of the regulatory position to ensure that makeshift test setups are not used. For additional information on the use of temporary jumpers, refer to the discussion under Regulatory Guide 1.108.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 51 The 1E electric power and safety system design and testing will also conform to the guidance of Regulatory Guide 1.118, Rev. 3, specifically for exclusion of testing for process to sensor coupling (flow testing). IEEE 338-1977 stated that response time testing of the process to sensor coupling was not required. Regulatory Guide 1.118, Rev. 2 indicated that the process to sensor coupling test was under evaluation. The Regulatory Guide 1.118, Rev. 3 now endorses the position taken in IEEE 338-1977, that response time testing of the process to sensor coupling is not required.

Regulatory Guide 1.119 (Rev. 0, 6/76) Surveillance Program for New Fuel Assembly Designs This regulatory guide was withdrawn by the NRC on June 23, 1977.

Regulatory Guide 1.120 (Rev. 1, 11/77) Fire Protection Guidelines for Nuclear Power Plants Regulatory Guide 1.120 has been issued to provide information to applicants regarding the NRC staff's plans for using this regulatory guide and to solicit public comment. Branch Technical Position APCSB 9.5-1, which is part of the Standard Review Plan (NUREG-75/087), formed the basis for the regulatory guide. Branch Technical Position APCSB 9.5-1, has been revised to Branch Technical Position CMEB 9.5-1, which now contains provisions of Regulatory Guide 1.120; 10 CFR 50, Appendix R; and Branch Technical Position APCSB 9.5-1. This revised Branch Technical Position is now used in the evaluation of fire protection provisions of applicants currently under review for operating licenses for plants under construction.

The existing plant design complies with the Branch Technical Position CMEB 9.5-1 with the exceptions as depicted in "Fire Protection System Evaluation and Comparison to Branch Technical Position APCSB 9.5-1, Appendix A," Rev. 2, and "Fire Protection of Safe Shutdown Capability (10 CFR 50, App. R)," Rev. 1, submitted to the USNRC in August 1984.

Regulatory Guide 1.121 (Rev. 0, 8/76) Bases for Plugging Degraded PWR Steam Generator Tubes Position C.1 Westinghouse interprets the term "Unacceptable defects" to apply to those imperfections resulting from service induced mechanical or chemical degradation of the tube walls which have penetrated to a depth in excess of the Plugging Limit.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 52 Positions C.2a(2) and C.2.a(4)

Westinghouse will use a 200 percent margin of safety based on the following definition of tube failure. Westinghouse defines tube failure as plastic deformation of a crack to the extent that the sides of the crack open to a nonparallel, elliptical configuration. This 200 percent margin of safety compares favorably with the 300 percent margin requested by the NRC against gross failure.

Position C.2.b In cases where sufficient inspection data exist to establish degradation allowance, the rate used will be an average time-rate determined from the mean of the test data.

Where requirements for minimum wall are markedly different for different areas of the tube bundle, e.g., U-bend area versus straight length in Westinghouse designs, two plugging limits may be established to address the varying requirements in a manner which will not require unnecessary plugging of tubes.

Positions C.3.d(l) and C.3.d(3)

The combined effect of these requirements would be to establish a maximum permissible primary-to-secondary leak rate which may be below the threshold of detection with current methods of measurement.

Westinghouse has determined the maximum acceptable length of a through-wall-crack based on secondary pipe break accident loadings which are typically twice the magnitude of normal operating pressure loads. Westinghouse will use a leak rate associated with the crack size determined on the basis of accident loadings.

Position C.3.e(6)

Westinghouse will supply computer code names and references rather than the actual codes.

Position C.3.f(l)

Westinghouse will establish a minimum acceptable tube wall thickness (Plugging Limit) based on structural requirements and consideration of loadings, measurement accuracy and, where applicable, a degradation allowance as discussed in this position and in accordance with the general intent of this guide. Analyses to determine the maximum acceptable number of tube failures during a postulated condition are normally done to entirely different bases and criteria are not within the scope of this guide.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 53 Regulatory Guide 1.122 (Rev. 1, 2/78) Development of Floor Response Spectra for Seismic Design of Floor-Supported Equipment or Components The plant design conforms to Regulatory Guide 1.122, Rev. 1, with the following exception:

Regulatory Guide 1.122 requires peaks associated with structural frequencies be broadened by +/-0.15 fi. Seabrook Preliminary Safety Analysis Report Subsection 3.7.2.6 stated that "to account for variations in structural parameters the peaks on the floor response spectra will be widened by +/-10 percent."

The justification for this exception is that Regulatory Guide 1.122 was published after the PSAR was submitted. The "implementation" section of Regulatory Guide 1.122 states that it is presently being used "in the evaluation of submittals for construction permit applications." In addition, Regulatory Guide 1.122 states that the +0.15 fi broadening is to account for such parameters as "material properties of soil . . . and soil structure interaction techniques." Since the Seabrook Plant is founded on rock, the uncertainties associated with soil properties and soil modeling are not of any concern, and less conservative peak broadening is justified.

Regulatory Guide 1.124 (Rev. 1, 1/78) Service Limits and Loading Combinations for Class 1 Linear-Type Component Supports The Seabrook NSSS is in partial compliance with this regulatory guide, with the following clarifications/variations:

a. The regulatory guide states in Paragraph B.1(b): "Allowable design limits for bolted connections are derived from tensile and shear stress limits and their nonlinear interaction; they also change with the size of the bolt. For this reason, the increases permitted by NF-3231.1, XVII-2110(a), and F-1370(a) of Section III are not directly applicable to allowable shear stresses and allowable stresses for bolts and bolted connections," and in Paragraph C.4: "This increase of design limits does not apply to limits for bolted connections and shear stresses."

As noted above, the increase in bolt allowable stress under emergency and faulted conditions is not permitted because: (1) the interaction between the allowable tension and shear stress in bolts is nonlinear, and (2) the allowable tension and shear stress vary with the bolt size. The NSSS supplier believes that the present ASME Code rules are adequate since they do satisfy the two objectives raised in the above quoted paragraph and hence will use the present rules without further restrictions or justification. This position is based on the following:

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 54

1. It is well recognized after extensive experimental work by several researchers that the interaction curve between the shear and tension stress in bolts is more closely represented by an ellipse and not a line. This has been clearly recognized by the ASME. Code Case 1644 has specified stress limits for bolts and represents this tension/shear relationship as a non-linear interaction equation (ellipse). This equation has since been added to the ASME Code Section III in the Winter '77 Addenda. This interaction equation has a built-in safety factor that ranges between 2 and 3 (depending on whether the bolt load is predominantly tension or shear) based on the actual strength of the bolt as determined by test (Ref: "Guide to Design Criteria for Bolted and Riveted Joints," Fisher and Struik, copyright 1974, John Wiley and Sons, p. 54).

Study of three interaction curves of allowable tension and shear stress based on the ASME Code (emergency condition allowables per XVII - 2110 and faulted condition allowables per F-1370) and the ultimate tensile and shear strength of bolts (obtained from experimental work published by Chesson, Faustino, and Munse in "Proceedings of ASCE:"

October 1975) indicates that there is adequate safety margin between the emergency and faulted condition allowables and failure of the bolts.

From this study it is observed that:

(a) For the emergency condition, the safety factor (ratio of ultimate strength to allowable stress) varies between a minimum of 1.63 and a maximum of 2.73 depending upon the actual tensile stress/shear stress (T/S) ratio on the bolt.

(b) For the faulted condition, the safety factor varies between a minimum of 1.36 to a maximum of 2.29, again depending upon actual T/S ratio on the bolt.

It is thus reasonable to allow an increase in these limits for the emergency and faulted conditions.

2. In Section III, Subsection NA, Table XVII - 2461.1, the ASME Code provides the criterion for allowable stress on bolts.

According to this table, the allowable stress depends upon the bolt size as well as the bolt material.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 55

3. The structures designed to meet AISC Manual of Steel Construction have been proven to be adequately designed. It is also recognized that the ASME Code requirements for Class 1 linear type supports (Appendix XVII) have been derived from AISC Manual of Steel Construction. In Paragraph 1.5.6 of Manual of Steel Construction, AISC permits the increased allowables for "occasional loads such as wind and seismic." In view of this, restrictions by NRC on not permitting increased allowables under emergency and faulted conditions which also are "infrequent incidents and limiting faults" are not justified.

Based on Paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 above, for the emergency and faulted conditions, the NSSS supplier will use allowable bolt stresses based upon the equations specified in Code Case 1644-4, as increased according to the provisions of XVII-2110(a) and F-1370(a) (as amended by Regulatory Guide 1.124 Paragraph C.4), respectively. The NSSS supplier will use the revision of Code Case 1644, as amended by Regulatory Guide 1.85, consistent with material procurement for the selection of material properties.

b. Paragraph C.4 of the Regulatory Guide states: "However, all increases (i.e., those allowed by NF-3231.1(a), XVII-2110(a), and F-1370(a)) should always be limited by XVII-2110(b) of Section III." Paragraph XVII-2110(b) specifies that member compressive axial loads shall be limited to 2/3 of critical buckling. Satisfaction of this criteria for the faulted condition is met for the primary equipment supports.
c. Paragraph C.6(a) of the Regulatory Guide appears to erroneously allow the use of faulted stress limits for the emergency condition. The NSSS supplier will interpret this paragraph as follows: "The stress limits of XVII-2000 of Section III and Regulatory Position 3, increased according to the provisions of XVII-2100(a) of Section III, should not be exceeded for component supports designed by the linear elastic analysis method."

This position was accepted by the NRC via the RESAR 414 Safety Evaluation Report.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 56 Regulatory Guide 1.125 (Rev. 1, 10/78) Physical Models for Design and Operation of Hydraulic Structures and Systems for Nuclear Power Plants Seabrook does not have any safety-related hydraulic structures which directly interface with surface waters.

Some of the types of physical modeling studies included in Regulatory Guide 1.125, Rev. 1, were, however, used in the design and operation of nonsafety- related hydraulic structures and systems of the plant. A number of these studies were discussed with the NRC staff at the testing facilities. Results of these studies have been transmitted to the NRC staff.

The physical modeling studies are further discussed in Section 3.4 of the Environmental Report.

Regulatory Guide 1.126 (Rev. 1, 3/78) An Acceptable Model and Related Statistical Statistical Methods for the Analysis of Fuel Densification The fuel densification model presented in Reference 11, which has been approved by the NRC, has been utilized. This model continues to be used with the updated fuel performance models in Reference 18. Results reported in Reference 19 (which has been approved by the NRC) show that the densification has been minimized in Westinghouse fuel through improvements in the fuel manufacturing process, and that formation of significant axial gaps in the fuel stack will not occur.

Regulatory Guide 1.127 (Rev. 1, 3/78) Inspection of Water-Control Structures Associated With Nuclear Power Plants The recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.127, Rev. 1, will be met by developing and implementing an appropriate in-service inspection and surveillance program for the flood protective structures. These flood protective structures consist of the stone revetments, reinforced concrete vertical seawall, and the sheet pile retaining wall.

Regulatory Guide 1.128 (Rev. 1, 10/78) Installation Design and Installation of Large Lead Storage Batteries for Nuclear Power Plants The recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.128 have been followed.

The subject matter of this guide is discussed in Subsection 8.3.2.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 57 Regulatory Guide 1.129 (Rev. 1, 2/78) Maintenance, Testing and Replacement of Large Lead Storage Batteries for Nuclear Power Plants The plant design conforms to Regulatory Guide 1.129 except for the following:

The Regulatory Guide states in Position C.1, "The battery service test... should be performed in addition to the battery performance discharge test." The Technical Specifications require service tests at least once per 18 months and performance discharge tests at least once per 60 months.

However, the Technical Specifications allow the performance discharge test to be performed in lieu of (not in addition to) the service test once per 60 month interval.

The Regulatory Guide states in Position C.1, "The battery service test should be performed during refueling operations or at some other outage, with intervals between tests not to exceed 18 months."

The Technical Specifications permit the battery service test to be performed during non-outage periods. The Seabrook Station design incorporates two 100% capacity battery banks per train.

Removing one of these battery banks from service for surveillance testing does not reduce the system capabilities. The regulatory guide assumes only one 100% capacity battery bank per train.

The subject matter of this regulatory guide is further discussed in Subsection 8.3.2.

Regulatory Guide 1.130 (Rev. 1, 10/78) Service Limits and Loading Combinations for Class 1 Plate-and-Shell-Type Component Supports The Seabrook NSSS is in partial compliance with this regulatory guide, with the following exceptions:

a. The regulatory guide states in Paragraph B.l:

"Allowable design limits for bolted connections are derived on a different basis that varies with the size of the bolt. For this reason, the increases permitted by NF-3224 and F-1323.1(a) of Section III are not directly applicable to bolts and bolted connections."

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 58 This requirement is overly conservative. The ASME Code provides stress criteria for the design of bolting for component supports. Paragraph NF-3280 of ASME III specifies the use of the Sy values given in Table I-13.3 as multiplied by the applicable design factors of Table XVII-2461.1-1. Paragraph F-1323.1 specifies the use of the Sm values of Table I-1.3 (NB-3230) specifically for the faulted condition. In addition, Table 4 of Code Case 1644 presents alternative bolting design requirements which may be used.

In Table XVII-2461.1-1, Table I-1.3, and Table 4 of Code Case 1644, the allowable stress values (either Sy or Sm) are dependent upon the size of the bolt as well as bolt material. Thus, since bolt size is already taken into consideration in the formulation of these criteria, it is reasonable to allow an increase in these limits for emergency and faulted conditions. In addition, the bolting design rules presented in Code Case 1644 (starting with Revision 4) provide an acceptable basis for design of bolts and should, therefore, be clearly noted in the regulatory guide.

The NSSS supplier will use allowable bolt stresses specified in Table XVII-2461.1-1), Table I-1.3, and Code Case 1644 for emergency and faulted conditions as increased according to the provisions of NF-3224 and F-1323.1(a), respectively.

b. In Paragraphs C.3, C.4(a), and C.6(a) of the regulatory guide, design margins of 2 for flat plates and 3 for shells are unnecessarily restrictive for normal, upset, and emergency conditions, as well as inconsistent with ASME Code requirements.

For these loading conditions, the NSSS supplier will limit the allowable buckling strength to of the critical buckling strength.

c. In Paragraph C.7 of the regulatory guide, inclusion of the upset plant condition is inappropriate in the load combination under discussion. The NSSS supplier will not include the upset plant condition in this combination.
d. In Paragraphs C.7(a) and B.1 of the regulatory guide, the stress limits of F-1370(c) are discussed. The criterion stated in F-1370(c),"...Loads should not exceed 0.67 times the critical buckling strength of the support..," is overly restrictive for the faulted condition. The most significant faulted condition loads on equipment supports result from seismic disturbances and postulated loss-of-coolant accidents, both of which are extremely short duration, dynamic events.

If it is shown that the dynamic effects of the member loading are not detrimental, the NSSS supplier will allow the compressive axial load to go to 0.9 times the critical buckling strength.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 59

e. In Paragraph C.7(b) of the regulatory guide, the limit based on the test load given in the regulatory guide, T.L. x 0.7 Su/Su, is overly conservative and is inconsistent the ASME Code requirements.

The NSSS supplier will use the limit as calculated by T.L. x 0.8 Su/Su.

This position was accepted by the NRC via the RESAR 414 Safety Evaluation Report.

Regulatory Guide 1.131 (Rev. 0, 8/77) Qualification Tests of Electric Cables, Field Splices and Connections for Light- Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants The qualification test recommendations of this guide have been followed.

The subject is further discussed in Subsections 8.1.5.3a and 8.3.1.4.

Regulatory Guide 1.132 (Rev. 1, 3/79) Site Investigation for Foundations of Nuclear Power Plants The site investigations performed for the plant complied in part with Regulatory Guide 1.132, Rev. 1, which was issued subsequent to the performance of the site investigation. The investigation was more than adequate to determine the geotechnical characteristics of the site affecting the design, performance and safety of the plant. It was performed under the direction, and with the advice of, experienced personnel familiar with the site and regional geology. The main exception to compliance with the guide was in meeting the general guidelines for subsurface explorations. These explorations were carried out to adequately assess the foundation requirements based on the complexity of the anticipated subsurface conditions. This is further discussed in Subsection 2.5.1 and its associated appendices.

Regulatory Guide 1.133 (Rev. 1, 5/81) Loose-Part Detection Program for the Primary System of Light-Water-Cooled Reactors Compliance with Regulatory Guide 1.133 is discussed in detail in Subsection 4.4.6.4.

The medical evaluation of licensed operators complies with the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.134, Rev. 2. For further discussion, refer to Seabrook Station's Medical Manual. The use of licensed/certified nurse practitioners to perform the hands-on physical examination with an evaluation and sign-off by a licensed physician who makes the final determination per Regulatory Guide 1.134 is documented in References 16 and 17.

Regulatory Guide 1.135 (Rev. 0, 9/77) Normal Water Level and Discharge at Nuclear Power Plants The structural design criteria for normal ground and surface water levels comply with Regulatory Guide 1.135 by establishing the maximum ground and surface water levels at safety-related structures and facilities at +20 feet MSL (plant grade). Elevation +20 feet MSL is above both the maximum recorded ground water level and also above the postulated probable maximum surge still water level.

Wave runup and overtopping of the protective revetment would occur during the probable maximum surge which would cause ponding on the site of approximately 0.6 feet. All safety-related structures are protected against this site ponding level.

For further discussion, refer to Section 2.4.

Regulatory Guide 1.136 (Rev. 2, 6/81) Materials, Construction, and Testing of Concrete Containments The requirements of this guide comply with the following exceptions:

a. Paragraph B.8, CC-4333.4.2 - Splice Samples This section requires only a production-splice testing program. Sister splices have also been used.

Sister splices were taken in place of production Cadwelding splices in congested areas or in areas where conditions would be detrimental for providing satisfactory replacement splices.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 61 Where a total sister splice test program was implemented for a series of splices, the testing frequency was in accordance with ASME Section III, Division 2, 1975, CC-4333.4.3(b) and USNRC Regulatory Guide 1.10, Paragraph 4(b), except that all splices were sister splices.

Tensile testing was performed on a random selection basis using the testing frequency in either Paragraph (a) or (b) of ASME Section III, Division 2, 1975, CC-4333.4.3. At least one quarter of the total number of splices tested from the containment structure (ASME boundary-exterior mat, shell and dome) were production splices. At least one quarter of the total number of splices tested from all other combined safety related splicing were also production splices.

Prior to forming, all Cadweld splices were inspected to assure that all preparations (e.g.,

cleaning, drying, aligning) required by the designer and the splice manufacturer were properly carried out. Quality Assurance personnel inspected a minimum of one splice connection per crew per shift, and all other splice connections were inspected by Cadwelding personnel.

b. Paragraph B.9, CC-4352 - Splices The requirement for staggering mechanical (Cadweld) reinforcing bar splices, as revised in the 1980 issue of ACI-349, has generally been complied with. In the limited number of cases where splices were not staggered, proper technical evaluation was performed to justify the nonstaggered arrangement.
c. Paragraph C.12, CC-5210 - General All pipes used for rebar supports have not been filled with grout.

Regulatory Guide 1.137 (Rev. 1, 10/79) Fuel Oil Systems for Standby Diesel Generators The fuel oil system design for the standby diesel generators complies with the requirements of NRC Regulatory Guide 1.137, Rev. 1. Fuel oil testing exceptions are identified in Subsection 9.5.4.4.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 62 Regulatory Guide 1.138 (Rev. 0, 4/78) Laboratory Investigations of Soils for Engineering Analysis and Design of Nuclear Power Plants The laboratory investigations of soils for engineering analysis and design complied in part with Regulatory Guide 1.138, Rev. 0, dated April, 1978, which was issued subsequent to the performance of the laboratory investigations. The investigations were more than adequate to permit a realistic evaluation of soil and rock properties and subsurface conditions. They were performed under the direction of experienced engineers and geologists who have demonstrated competence in the field of soil and rock mechanics testing and are familiar with the site.

Table 1.8-1 includes the actual testing procedures used in the investigations and identifies the procedures preferred by the NRC, as given in Regulatory Guide 1.138. Table 1.8-1 also notes exceptions taken to the preferred procedures. These exceptions were to make the test results more reliable or applicable to a wider range of soil types. The noted exceptions do not alter the engineering application of the test results.

This subject is further discussed in Subsection 2.5.1.

Regulatory Guide 1.139 (Rev. 0, 5/78) Guidance for Residual Heat Removal Regulatory Guide 1.139 establishes specific design requirements that address the various system functions that are required to achieve and maintain a safe hot standby and cold shutdown condition.

The NSSS supplier endorses the design objective of Regulatory Guide 1.139 to ensure systems capability for achieving and maintaining the plant in a safe shutdown condition. The NSSS supplier has implemented for Seabrook this design objective by providing systems with the capability to place and maintain the plant in a safe hot standby condition. Suitable design provisions and interface requirements have been provided to permit the plant to be maintained in the safe hot standby condition until (a) normal systems could be restored to permit either return to power operation or cooldown to cold shutdown conditions, or (b) sufficient systems capability could be restored (depending on plant condition) to permit cooldown to cold shutdown conditions under abnormal plant conditions. This design philosophy, when properly implemented, is considered to constitute a safe design, independent of the time period at which the plant is maintained at hot standby or cooled to cold shutdown conditions.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 63 The NSSS supplier's safe shutdown design does not comply in full with the specific design requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.139. However, this traditional safe shutdown design incorporates an inherent level of cold shut-down capability under accident conditions which compares favorably with the specific requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.139 (when reviewed on a case-by-case basis). For this category of plants, the case-by-case implementation requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.139 are considered an endorsement of the traditional NSSS supplier's safe shutdown design basis. For a plant in this category, evaluation of the plant specific safe shutdown design basis against the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.139 ensures that the system functions that are required to achieve and maintain a safe hot standby and cold shut-down have been properly implemented. A major benefit of such an evaluation is the identification of plant specific equipment and the development of plant specific operating procedures for bringing the plant to cold shutdown under abnormal conditions, including natural circulation. The specific design requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.139 function as a bench mark for this evaluation and identify areas for potential upgrading based on value/impact assessment. Selective upgrading may be beneficial in providing increased operating flexibility and increased margins of safety under abnormal plant conditions.

For plants which must comply with Regulatory Guide 1.139 on a case-by-case basis, the following compliance exemption is identified:

The systems for bringing the plant from normal operating conditions to cold shutdown should not be required to achieve cold shutdown conditions within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> if it can be demonstrated that the plant can be maintained for longer periods of time in a safe hot standby or hot shutdown condition with adequate heat removal via the Auxiliary Feedwater System or Residual Heat Removal System, respectively.

The portions of BOP systems that are utilized to achieve and maintain a safe hot standby, or take the plant from hot standby to the condition where the RHR system can be cut in, are designed and fabricated to safety Class standards, and are provided with appropriate redundancy and remote operability to meet the requirements of this Regulatory Guide.

These systems and components are described in detail in Section 10.3, "Main Steam System,"

and in Section 6.8, "Emergency Feedwater System."

With regard to plant cooldown capability, either emergency feedwater pump is designed in conjunction with all four atmospheric relief valves to be able to maintain hot standby for 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> followed by a cooldown period of 5-hour duration. The condensate storage tank (Subsection 9.2.6.3) has sufficient capacity to support the above.

For situations where all four atmospheric relief valves are not available, there exists sufficient time for the operators to take corrective action.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 64 This corrective action could be the re-establishment of all four atmospheric relief valves to operable, or the line-up of additional water supplies such as water treatment, demineralized water storage tank or fire protection to supplement the condensate storage tank in a prolonged cooldown.

Regulatory Guide 1.140 (Rev. 1, 10/79) Design, Testing and Maintenance Criteria for Normal Ventilation Exhaust System Air Filtration and Adsorption Units of Light Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants The requirements of this guide have been met, with the exceptions discussed in Subsection 9.4, Table 9.4-20, Table 9.4-21, Table 9.4-22, Table 9.4-23.

Section C.5.c requires HEPA filter banks, located upstream of the adsorber section, and Section C.5.d.(4) requires activated carbon adsorbers to be tested following painting, fire, or chemical release in any ventilation zone communicating with the system in such a manner that the HEPA filter or the charcoal adsorbers could become adversely affected by the fumes, chemicals, or foreign material. Painting is administratively controlled to protect the HEPA filters and the charcoal adsorbers from the adverse effects of the fumes.

Regulatory Guide 1.141 (Rev. 0, 4/78) Containment Isolation Provisions for Fluid Systems The recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.141 have been followed with the exceptions listed in Subsection 6.2.4.2m.

For further discussion, refer to Subsection 6.2.4 and 7.1.2.2a.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 65 Regulatory Guide 1.142 (Rev. 1, 10/81) Safety-Related Concrete Structures for Nuclear Power Plants (Other Than Reactor Vessels and Containments)

According to the "Implementation" section of this guide, compliance by Seabrook Station to this guide is not required.

ACI-349-76, "Code Requirements for Safety Related Structures," however, was not directly used as a design and construction standard, although the design and construction of the structures do fulfill the intent of the requirements set forth in the publication and in this regulatory guide. By the time this regulatory guide was issued, much of the design and fabrication were completed, and construction was also in progress. Consequently, the work was based on appropriate, corresponding standards, as follows:

a. Loads and load combinations were taken directly from the USNRC Standard Review Plan and ACI-318.
b. Structural analysis and design were consistent with the requirements of the Standard Review Plan and ACI-318.
c. Acceptance criteria were taken directly from the Standard Review Plan and ACI-318.
d. The requirement for staggering mechanical (Cadweld) reinforcing bar splices, as revised in the 1980 issue of ACI-349, has generally been complied with. In the limited number of cases where splices were not staggered, proper technical evaluation was performed to justify the nonstaggered arrangement.

Thus, through the use of the above described, judiciously selected standards, the safety-related structures were designed, fabricated and erected in a manner that ensures that they will withstand the effects of postulated accidents and environmental conditions, as well as those effects associated with normal operating conditions.

Additional information can be found in the appropriate subsections of Section 3.8.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 66 Regulatory Guide 1.143 (Rev. 1, 10/79) Design Guidance for Radioactive Waste Management Systems, Structures and Components Installed in Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants The recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.143 have been followed. The following installed plant components are exceptions to the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.143:

  • Chemical Drain Tank
  • Chemical Drain Treatment Tanks These three tanks are made of plastic and fiberglass and are designed to Standard PS-16-69.

None of the tanks contain a high inventory of radioactive material. For further discussion, refer to Subsection 9.3.3.

A vendor supplied waste liquid processing system is a supplement to the station installed waste liquid (WL) system. The vendor equipment meets the intent of Regulatory Guide 1.143 and of ANSI/ANS 40.37 (1993). The vendor system may have the following components, which are exceptions to the language on Regulatory Guide 1.143, . . .plastic pipe should not be used.:

  • PVC filter housing
  • Rubber Hoses for flexible connection to plant system
  • Glass fiber reinforced ultra-filtration unit housing These components are nonmetallic to minimize the effect of system concentrates and cleaning chemicals, and to enhance the ability to install and remove the components for replacement.

They are designed to meet the vendor system temperature, pressures and flows, and are tested to the recommendations in ANSI/ANS 40.37.

The steam generator blowdown recovery acid and caustic piping and equipment that supply the resin beds and the acid/caustic drains which connect directly to the waste hold up sump, including the piping and equipment that supplies demineralized water for dilution of the chemical, are considered a maintenance sub-system for the re-generation of the resins inside the demineralizer beds. This equipment is not part of the blowdown pressure boundary used for the treatment of effluent from the steam generators. During the re-generation process, the chemical sub-system is isolated from the inservice steam generator blowdown flow path. The piping and equipment that supply chemicals to the resin beds do not contain, or are not subject to the ingestion of radioactive materials. Therefore, the recommendation of Regulatory Guide 1.143 does not apply.

The recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.153 and Guidance provided in IEEE-603-1991 have been followed for upgrade of the digital computer systems used in the safety-related control room air conditioning system application at Seabrook Station.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 69 Regulatory Guide 1.155 (Rev. 0, 6/88) Station Blackout The requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.155 have been met as described in UFSAR Section 8.4.

As allowed by Regulatory Guide 1.155, Section B, the guidelines of NUMARC 87-00, "Guidelines and Technical Bases for NUMARC Initiatives Addressing Station Blackout at Light Water Reactors" were followed except where the Regulatory Guide took precedence.

Regulatory Guide 1.157 (Rev. 0, 5/89) Best Estimate Calculations of Emergency Core Cooling System Performance This guide provides guidance for the use of best estimate codes for use in ECCS evaluation models. The Large Break LOCA analysis was performed using the Westinghouse Best Estimate Large Break LOCA Methodology and is discussed in Chapter 15.6.5.2.

Regulatory Guide 1.163 (Rev. 0, 9/95) Performance-Based Containment Leak-Test Program The requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.163 have been incorporated into UFSAR Subsection 6.2.6. The Regulatory Guide is listed in Subsection 3.8.2. As allowed by Regulatory Guide 1.163, the guidelines of NEI 94-01, dated July 26, 1995, "Industry Guideline for Implementing Performance-Based Option of 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix J" were followed except where Regulatory Guide 1.163 took precedence.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 70 Regulatory Guide 1.190 (Rev. 0, 3/01) Calculational and Dosimetry Methods for Determining Pressure Vessel Neutron Fluence The methods and assumptions described in this guide are for the calculation and measurement of vessel fluence for core and vessel geometrical and material configurations that are typical of current light water reactor designs. The methodology presented is intended as a best estimate, rather than a bounding or conservative fluence determination.

The determination of the pressure vessel fluence is based on both calculations and measurements; the fluence predication is made with a calculation, and the measurements are used to qualify the calculational methodology. Because of the importance and the difficulty of these calculations, the methods must be qualified by comparison to measurements to ensure a reliable and accurate vessel fluence determination.

Regulatory Guide 1.196 (Rev. 1, 1/07) Control Room Habitability at Light-Water Nuclear Power Reactors The requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.196 have been incorporated into the Control Room Envelope Habitability Program which is referenced in UFSAR Chapters 2, 6 and 9. This reference is in subsections 2.2, 6.4.2.2, 6.4.4.2, 6.4.5, 6.5.1.3, 6.5.1.4, 9.4.1.3 and 9.4.1.4.

This regulatory guide provides guidance for implementing the NRCs regulations in Appendix A, General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants, to Title 10, Part 50, of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR Part 50), Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities, as they relate to control room habitability (CRH).

Regulatory Guide 1.196 did not endorse the method of equating a breach size to an inleakage flow rate. Seabrook does use a breach control method that equates breach size to the CREMAFS design filtered pressurization airflow rate and differential pressure limit. This method does not equate breach sizes to or result in any increase in inleakage flow rate. Therefore, the CRE Habitability Program being implemented by License Amendment 119 utilizes this breach control method in addition to the method described in Regulatory Guide 1.196.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 21 STATION Section 1.8 Conformance to NRC Regulatory Guides UFSAR Page 71 Regulatory Guide 1.197 (Rev. 0, 11/03) Demonstrating Control Room Envelope Integrity at Nuclear Power Reactors The requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.197 have been incorporated into the Control Room Envelope Habitability Program which is referenced in UFSAR Chapters 2, 6 and 9. This reference is in subsections 2.2, 6.4.2.2, 6.4.4.2, 6.4.5, 6.5.1.3, 6.5.1.4, 9.4.1.3 and 9.4.1.4.

This regulatory guide provides guidance for configuration control of the CRE boundary, preventative maintenance of the CRE boundary and assessment of the CRE habitability at NRC-accepted frequencies to ensure that the significant degradation of the boundary will not go undetected between CRE inleakage determinations. Seabrook Station does not take any exceptions to Regulatory Guide 1.197.

Task I.C.1 Guidance for the Evaluation & Development of Procedures for Transients and Accidents (NUREG-0737)

Position:

In letters of September 13 and 27, October 10 and 30, and November 9, 1979, the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation required licensees of operating plants, applicants for operating licenses, and licensees of plants under construction to perform analyses of transients and accidents, prepare emergency procedure guidelines, upgrade emergency procedures (including procedures for operating with natural circulation conditions), and to conduct operator retraining (see also Item I.A.2.1). Emergency procedures are required to be consistent with the actions necessary to cope with the transients and accidents analyzed. Analyses of transients and accidents were to be completed in early 1980 and implementation of procedures and retraining were to be completed 3 months after emergency procedure guidelines were established; however, some difficulty in completing these requirements has been experienced. Clarification of the scope of the task and appropriate schedule revisions are being developed. In the course of review of these matters on Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) designed plants, the staff will follow up the bulletin and orders matters relating to analysis methods and results, as listed in NUREG-0660, Appendix C (see Table C.1, Items, 3, 4, 16, 18, 24, 25, 26, 27; Table C.2, Items 4, 12, 17, 18, 19, 20; and Table C.3; Items 6, 35, 37, 38, 39, 41, 47, 55, 57).

Response

Emergency operating procedures define the actions required by station personnel during emergency conditions. Licensed operators will be thoroughly familiar with these procedures.

Any immediate actions steps that licensed operators are required to memorize are specifically identified in that procedure.

The Emergency Operating Procedures use the Westinghouse Owners Group derived set of guidelines as their basis. These generic guidelines, which consist of Emergency Recovery Guidelines, are modified and adapted to the specific conditions and hardware that exist at Seabrook Station and are reviewed and approved by appropriate station supervisory and management personnel and are in accordance with Section 6.7 of the Technical Specifications and Updated FSAR Subsection 13.4.1.

The human factors review of the control room used these Emergency Operating procedures as input criteria for that study.

These procedures shall:

(1) Clearly identify organizational responsibilities for review of operating experience, the feedback of pertinent information to operators and other personnel, and the incorporation of such information into training and retraining programs; (2) Identify the administrative and technical review steps necessary in translating recommendations by the operating experience assessment group into plant actions (e.g., changes to procedures, operating orders);

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 15 STATION Compliance with NUREG-0737: Clarification of TMI Section 1.9 UFSAR Action Plan Requirements Page 6 (3) Identify the recipients of various categories of information from operating experience (i.e., supervisory personnel, shift technical advisors, operators, maintenance personnel, health physics technicians), or otherwise provide means through which such information can be readily related to the job functions of the recipients; (4) Provide means to assure that affected personnel become aware of and understand information of sufficient importance that should not wait for emphasis through routine training and retraining programs; (5) Assure that plant personnel do not routinely receive extraneous and unimportant information on operating experience in such volume that it would obscure priority information or otherwise detract from overall job performance and proficiency; (6) Provide suitable checks to assure that conflicting or contradictory information is not conveyed to operators and other personnel until resolution is reached; and, (7) Provide periodic internal audit to assure that the feedback program functions effectively at all levels.

Response

See Updated FSAR Subsection 13.5.1.

Task I.C.6 Guidance on Procedures for Verifying Correct Performance of Operating Activities (NUREG-0737)

Position:

It is required (from NUREG-0660) that licensees' procedures be reviewed and revised, as necessary, to assure that an effective system of verifying the correct performance of operating activities is provided as a means of reducing human errors and improving the quality of normal operations. This will reduce the frequency of occurrence of situations that could result in, or contribute to, accidents. Such a verification system may include automatic system status monitoring, human verification of operations and maintenance activities independent of the people performing the activity (see NUREG-0585, Recommendation 5), or both.

Implementation of automatic monitoring, if required, will reduce the extent of human verification of operations and maintenance activities, but will not eliminate the need for such verification in all instances. The procedures adopted by the licensees may consist of two phases; one before and one after installation of automatic status monitoring equipment, if required, in accordance with Item I.D.3.

Response

See Updated FSAR Subsection 13.5.1.

Accident conditions should assume a Regulatory Guide 1.3 or 1.4 release of fission products. If the review indicates that personnel could not promptly and safely obtain the samples, additional design features or shielding should be provided to meet the criteria.

A design and operational review of the radiological spectrum analysis facilities shall be performed to determine the capability to promptly quantify (in less than 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />) certain radionuclides that are indicators of the degree of core damage. Such radionuclides are noble gases (which indicate cladding failure), iodines and cesiums (which indicate high fuel temperatures), and nonvolatile isotopes (which indicate fuel melting). The initial reactor coolant spectrum should correspond to a Regulatory Guide 1.3 or 1.4 release. The review should also consider the effects of direct radiation from piping and components in the Auxiliary Building and possible contamination and direct radiation from airborne effluents. If the review indicates that the analyses required cannot be performed in a prompt manner with existing equipment, then design modifications or equipment procurement shall be undertaken to meet the criteria.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 15 STATION Compliance with NUREG-0737: Clarification of TMI Section 1.9 UFSAR Action Plan Requirements Page 11 WCAP-14986-A, Post Accident Sampling System Requirements: A Technical Basis, provided justification for eliminating the various PASS sampling requirements. The NRC issued a Safety Evaluation dated June 14, 2000, approving this topical report. Amendment 78 to Facility Operating License NPF-86 deleted the PASS Administrative Controls from the Technical Specifications, superceding the NUREG-0737 requirements. The Post Accident Sampling System, as modified, maintains the capability to obtain archive samples from the RCS and containment sump, and to sample the containment atmosphere.

Percent hydrogen in gaseous samples is analyzed by gas chromatography. The method is applicable in the range of 1% to pure hydrogen. High concentrations are determined by varying sample injection volume.

It has been determined that hydrogen is most accurately determined in the presence of helium by calibration of the gas chromatograph with standards containing equal amounts of both gases with a balance of argon. Good peak separation is obtained with good reproducibility.

The column is baked at 125°C after the peak has been analyzed in order to prevent xenon poisoning.

Task II.K.2.13 Thermal Mechanical Report - Effect of High Pressure Injection on Vessel Integrity for Small Break Loss-of-Coolant Accident with No Auxiliary Feedwater (NUREG-0737)

Position:

A detailed analysis shall be performed of the thermal mechanical conditions in the reactor vessel during recovery from small breaks with an extended loss of all feedwater.

Response

Reference 8 describes the probabilistic methodology developed by the Westinghouse Owners Group (WOG) and Westinghouse for treating the Pressurized Thermal Shock (PTS) issue. It also documents the results of applying this methodology to Westinghouse designed PWRs such as Seabrook. It goes beyond the specific concern of NUREG-0737, Item II.K.2.13 and considers the risk of PWR reactor vessel failure from all PTS events. It supports the basis for the requirements of 10 CFR 50.61, "Fracture Toughness Requirements for Protection Against Pressurized Thermal Shock Events." Namely, PWR pressure vessels with conservatively calculated values of RTNDT less than 270°F for plate material and axial welds, and less than 300°F for circumferential welds, present an acceptably low risk of vessel failure from PTS events.

In Reference 9, the RTNDT value for the Seabrook reactor vessel was conservatively calculated in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.61. The total RTNDT value at end-of-life (32 EFPY) is 126°F. This value satisfies the screening criteria stated above.

The results of Reference 8 are applicable if plant emergency procedures based on the Emergency Response Guidelines (ERGs) are available and the operators are properly trained to follow the procedures. Since the Seabrook Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs) are based on the ERGs, and the operators are trained in the use of the EOPs (see Updated FSAR Section 13.2), the Reference 8 results are applicable.

It is therefore concluded that operation of Seabrook Station will not pose an undue risk of vessel failure from PTS events.

Task II.K.2.17 Potential for Voiding in the Reactor Coolant System During Transients Position:

Analyze the potential for voiding in the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) during anticipated transients.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 15 STATION Compliance with NUREG-0737: Clarification of TMI Section 1.9 UFSAR Action Plan Requirements Page 21

Response

Westinghouse (in support of the Westinghouse Owners Group) has performed a study which addresses the potential for void formation in Westinghouse designed nuclear steam supply systems during natural circulation cooldown/depressurization transients. This study has been submitted to the NRC by the Westinghouse Owners Group (Reference 1) and is applicable to Seabrook Station.

In addition, the Westinghouse Owners Group is currently developing appropriate modifications to the Westinghouse Owners Group Reference Operating Instructions to take the results of the study into account to preclude void formation in the upper head region during natural circulation cooldown/depressurization transients, and to specify those conditions under which upper head voiding may occur. NHY utilized the generic guidance developed by the Westinghouse Owners Group in the development of plant specific operating procedures.

Task II.K.3 Final Recommendations of B&O Task Force (NUREG-0737)

Task II.K.3.1 Installation and Testing of Automatic Power-Operated Relief Valve Isolation System (NUREG-0737)

Position:

All PWR licensees should provide a system that uses the PORV block valve to protect against a small break loss-of-coolant accident. This system will automatically cause the block valve to close when the reactor coolant system pressure decays after the PORV has opened. Justification should be provided to assume that failure of this system would not decrease overall safety by aggravating transients and accidents.

Each licensee shall perform a confirmatory test of the automatic block valve closure system following installation.

Response

Westinghouse, as part of the response prepared for the Westinghouse Owners Group to address Item II.K.3.2, has evaluated the necessity of incorporating an automatic pressurizer power-operated relief valve isolation system. This evaluation is documented in Reference 2 and concluded that such a system should not be required.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 15 STATION Compliance with NUREG-0737: Clarification of TMI Section 1.9 UFSAR Action Plan Requirements Page 22 In addition, information has been submitted to the NRC in SBN-1038 dated May 7, 1986.

Task II.K.3.2 Report on Overall Safety Effect of Power-Operated Relief Valve Isolation System (NUREG-0737)

Position:

(1) The licensee should submit a report for staff review documenting the various actions taken to decrease the probability of a small break loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) caused by a stuck-open power-operated relief valve (PORV) and show how those actions constitute sufficient improvements in reactor safety.

(2) Safety valve failure rates based on past history of the operating plants designed by the specific Nuclear Stream Supply System (NSSS) vendor should be included in the report submitted in response to (1) above.

Response

As stated in the response to item II.K.3.1, the Westinghouse Owners Group has submitted a Westinghouse prepared report (Reference 2) that provides a probabilistic analysis to determine the probability of a PORV LOCA, estimates the effect on the post-TMI modifications, evaluates an automatic PORV isolation concept, and provides PORV and safety valve operational data for Westinghouse plants. Because of the sensitivity analyses included in the report, the report is generic and is applicable to Seabrook Station. The report identifies a significant reduction in the PORV LOCA probability as a result of post-TMI modifications, and the calculations compare favorably with the operational data for Westinghouse plants (included as an appendix to the report).

In addition, information has been submitted to the NRC in SBN-1038 dated May 7, 1986.

Task II.K.3.3 Reporting SV and PORV Challenges and Failures (NUREG-0694)

Position:

Assure that any failure of a PORV or safety valve to close will be reported to the NRC promptly.

Response

Any failure of a safety or relief valve will be reported promptly to the NRC in accordance with 10CFR50.72 and 10CFR50.73.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 15 STATION Compliance with NUREG-0737: Clarification of TMI Section 1.9 UFSAR Action Plan Requirements Page 23 Task II.K.3.5 Automatic Trip of Reactor Coolant Pumps During Loss-of-Coolant Accident (NUREG-0737)

Position:

Tripping of the reactor coolant pumps in case of a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) is not an ideal solution. Licensees should consider other solutions to the small break LOCA problem (for example, an increase in safety injection flow rate). In the meantime, until a better solution is found, the reactor coolant pumps should be tripped automatically in case of small break LOCA.

The signals designated to initiate the pump trip are discussed in NUREG-0623.

Response

In response to IE Bulletins79-05C and 79-06C, Westinghouse (in support of the Westinghouse Owners Group) performed an analysis of delayed Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) trip during small break LOCAs. This analysis is documented in Reference 3 and is the basis for the Westinghouse position on RCP trip (i.e., automatic RCP trip is not necessary since sufficient time is available for manual tripping of the RCPs).

Westinghouse (again in support of the Westinghouse Owners Group) has performed test predictions of the LOFT Experiment L3-6. The results of these predictions are documented in References 4, 5 and 6. The results constitute both a best estimate model prediction with the NOTRUMP computer program and an evaluation model prediction with the Westinghouse FLASH computer program using the supplied set of initial boundary assumptions.

Subsequently, the NRC issued Generic Letters83-10C and 83-10D which superseded IE Bulletins79-05C and 79-06C. In response, the Westinghouse Owners Group (with assistance from Westinghouse) developed the generic response to Generic Letters83-10C and 83-10D.

This response has been submitted to the NRC (Reference 7).

With regard to the plant specific requirements of Generic Letters83-10C and 83-10D, Seabrook Station has the following:

The Revision 1 to the WOG Emergency Response Guidelines has been implemented into the plant specific procedures.

The training program includes instruction to operators in their responsibility for performing RCP trip in the event of a small break LOCA. In particular, the operators are trained in prioritization of actions following engineered safety features actuation.

The instrumentation the operators use to determine the need for RCP trip is part of the instrumentation used for ICC (see Item II.F.2).

In light of the above information, Seabrook Station does not consider that design modifications are necessary.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 15 STATION Compliance with NUREG-0737: Clarification of TMI Section 1.9 UFSAR Action Plan Requirements Page 24 Supplementary information on this subject as a result of a discussion between the NRC staff and the applicant, is summarized in an NRC letter to NHY dated May 20, 1986, and in NHY's response to the NRC submitted in SBN-1068, dated May 27, 1986.

Task II.K.3.7 Evaluation of Power-Operated Relief Valve Opening Probability During Overpressure Transient (NUREG-0737)

Position:

Most overpressure transients should not result in the opening of the Power-Operated Relief Valve (PORV). Therefore, licensees should document that the PORV will open in less than 5 percent of all anticipated overpressure transients using the revised setpoints and anticipatory trips for the range of plant conditions which might occur during a fuel cycle.

Response

The Westinghouse Owners Group has submitted a report (Reference 2) which provides probabilistic analysis of PORV operational data for Westinghouse plants. The report is generic and applicable to Seabrook Station. For high-head plants with post-TMI modifications (i.e., Seabrook Station), the report shows that a PORV will open in less than 5 percent of all anticipated overpressure transients for the range of plant conditions during a fuel cycle.

Task II.K.3.9 Proportional Integral Derivative Controller Modification Position (NUREG-0737)

Position:

The Westinghouse recommended modifications to the Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller should be implemented by affected licensees.

Response

The Seabrook design includes a Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller in the power-operated relief valve control circuit (see Updated FSAR Figure 7.7-4 and Figure 7.2-11). The time derivative constant in the PID controller for the pressurizer PORV will be turned to "OFF."

The appropriate plant procedure for calibrating the setpoints in this nonsafety-grade system will reflect this decision.

Setting the derivative time constant to "OFF," in effect removes the derivative action from the controller. Removal of the derivative action will decrease the likelihood of opening the pressurizer PORV since the actual signal for the valve is then no longer sensitive to the rate of change of pressurizer pressure.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 15 STATION Compliance with NUREG-0737: Clarification of TMI Section 1.9 UFSAR Action Plan Requirements Page 25 Task II.K.3.10 Proposed Anticipatory Trip Modification (NUREG-0737)

Position:

The anticipatory trip modification proposed by some licensees to confine the range of use to high power levels should not be made until it has been shown on a plant-by-plant basis that the probability of a small break loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) resulting from a stuck-open Power-Operated Relief Valve (PORV) is substantially unaffected by the modifications.

Response

The Seabrook design includes the capability to undergo a 50 percent load reduction without requiring a reactor trip. This capability is made available through the use of a nominal 40 percent steam bypass to the condenser and automatic rod control to reduce core power by 10 percent. Plant analysis shows that pressurizer power-operated relief valves (PORVs) will not be challenged by a 50 percent load reduction from full power. An evaluation of a full load reduction from 50 percent power also shows that PORVs will not be challenged even though the reactor is not tripped. The deletion of a direct (or anticipatory) reactor trip from turbine trip below 50 percent power will not cause the PORVs to be challenged. Therefore, the probability of a small break loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) from a stuck-open PORV is substantially unaffected by the deletion of an anticipatory reactor trip from turbine trip below 50 percent power.

Task II.K.3.11 Justification for Use of Certain PORVs (NUREG-0694)

Position:

Demonstrate that the PORV installed in the plant has a failure rate equivalent to, or less than, the values for which there is an operating history.

Response

The PORVs utilized at Seabrook are a relatively new design developed by the Garrett Pneumatic Systems Division of the Garrett Corporation. Similar type valves are presently being supplied to both Combustion Engineering and Westinghouse for use in their NSSS design. At this time, there is insufficient operating data upon which to base a statistically accurate failure rate history.

However, a valve of similar design to that supplied to both Combustion Engineering and Westinghouse was tested at the Wyle Laboratories as a part of the EPRI/PWR Safety and Relief Valve Test Program. In addition to the successful functional test results, the Garrett valve operated normally, with no tendency to fail to operate, either open or closed, through at least 79 cycles.

As operating history is gained on this particular valve design, and should an abnormal failure rate become apparent, appropriate corrective action will be taken.

Position:

Licensees with Westinghouse-designed operating plants should confirm that their plants have an anticipatory reactor trip upon turbine trip. The licensee of any plant where this trip is not present should provide a conceptual design and evaluation for the installation of this trip.

Response

The Seabrook design includes an anticipatory reactor trip upon turbine trip at power levels above P-9 (see Updated FSAR Figure 7.2-2 and Figure 7.2-15).

Task II.K.3.17 Report on Outage of Emergency Core-Cooling Systems Licensee Report and Proposed Technical Specification Changes (NUREG-0737 Position:

Several components of the Emergency Core Cooling (ECC) Systems are permitted by technical specifications to have substantial outage times (e.g., 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> for one diesel generator; 14 days for the HPCI system). In addition, there are no cumulative outage time limitations for ECC systems. Licensees should submit a report detailing outage dates and lengths of outages for all ECC systems for the last 5 years of operation. The report should also include the causes (i.e., controller failure, spurious isolation).

Response

Procedures for collecting and submitting information concerning the unavailability of the ECC system due to outages have been developed. Seabrook Station will submit ECC system outage information in accordance with the INPO Safety System Unavailability Monitoring program.

All functional failures of ECC systems shall also be included in the Equipment Performance and Information Exchange System (EPIX). This method of reporting will provide for a current, on-line reporting system.

See Updated FSAR Subsection 13.5.1.

Task II.K.3.25 Effect of Loss of Alternating Current Power on Pumps Seals (NUREG-0737)

Position:

The licensee should determine, on a plant-specific basis, by analysis or experiment, the consequence of a loss of cooling water to the reactor recirculation pump seal coolers. The pump seals should be designed to withstand a complete loss of alternating current (AC) power for at least 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />. Adequacy of the seal design should be demonstrated.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 15 STATION Compliance with NUREG-0737: Clarification of TMI Section 1.9 UFSAR Action Plan Requirements Page 27

Response

During normal operation, seal injection flow from the Chemical and Volume Control System is provided to cool the RCP seals, and the Component Cooling Water System provides flow to the thermal barrier heat exchanger to limit the heat transfer from the reactor coolant to the RCP internals. In the event of loss of offsite power, the RCP motor is de-energized and both of these cooling supplies are terminated; however, the diesel generators are automatically started and either seal injection flow or component cooling water to the thermal barrier heat exchanger is automatically restored within 12 or 32 seconds, respectively. Either of these cooling supplies is adequate to provide seal cooling and prevent seal failure due to loss of seal cooling during a loss of offsite power for at least 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />.

Task II.K.3.30 Revised Small Break Loss-of-Coolant Accident Methods to Show Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix K (NUREG-0737)

Position:

The analysis methods used by Nuclear Steam Supply System (NSSS) vendors and/or fuel suppliers for small break loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) analysis for compliance with Appendix K to 10 CFR Part 50 should be revised, documented, and submitted for approval. The revisions should account for comparisons with experimental data, including from the LOFT Test and Semiscale Test facilities.

Response

The Westinghouse small break evaluation model (NOTRUMP) used to analyze Seabrook Station is in conformance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix K and was approved by the NRC on May 21, 1985. This completes the TMI Action Item II.K.3.30 for Seabrook Station.

In accordance with TMI Action Item II.K.3.31., generic analysis was submitted in June 1986 to demonstrate that the analysis performed with NOTRUMP is conservative.

Task II.K.3.31 Plant Specific Calculations to Show Compliance with 10 CFR, Part 50.46 (NUREG-0737)

Position:

Plant-specific calculations using NRC-approved models for small break Loss-of-Coolant Accidents (LOCAs) as described in Item II.K.3.30 to show compliance with 10 CFR 50.46 should be submitted for NRC approval by all licensees.

Response

NHY letter (SBN-1175) dated July 31, 1986, references WCAP-11145 which demonstrates, generically, the plant's compliance with 10 CFR 50.46. This completes TMI Action Item II.K.3.31 for Seabrook Station.

Position:

Licensees will upgrade emergency preparedness in accordance with the requirements described in the NRC "Action Plan for Promptly Improving Emergency Preparedness" (SECY 79-450),

which was distributed to all licensees during regional meetings in August, 1979, and in accordance with subsequently issued criteria (NUREG-0654).

Response

Refer to the Seabrook Station Radiological Emergency Plan.

Task III.A.1.2 Upgrade Emergency Support Facilities Position:

Each operating nuclear power plant shall maintain an onsite Technical Support Center (TSC) separate from, and in close proximity to, the control room that has the capability to display and transmit plant status to those individuals who are knowledgeable of, and responsible for, engineering and management support of reactor operations in the event of an accident. The center shall be habitable to the same degree as the control room for postulated accident conditions. The licensee shall revise his emergency plans, as necessary, to incorporate the role and location of the TSC. Records that pertain to the as-built conditions and layout of structures, systems, and components shall be readily available to personnel in the TSC.

An Operational Support Center (OSC) shall be established separate from the control room and other emergency response facilities as a place where operations support personnel can assemble and report in an emergency situation to receive instructions from the station staff.

Communications shall be provided between the OSC, TSC, EOF, and control room.

An Emergency Operation Facility (EOF) will be operated by a licensee for continued evaluation and coordination of all licensee activities related to an emergency having, or potentially having, environmental consequences.

Response

See Section 6, "Emergency Facilities and Equipment," and Section 8, "Organization," of the Seabrook Station Radiological Emergency Plan.

Task III.D.1.1 Integrity of Systems Outside Containment Likely to Contain Radioactive Material for Pressurized Water Reactors & Boiling Water Reactors (NUREG-0737)

Position:

Applicants shall implement a program to reduce leakage from systems outside containment that would, or could, contain highly radioactive fluids during a serious transient or accident to as-low-as-practical levels. This program shall include the following:

(1) Immediate Leak Reduction -

(a) Implement all practical leak reduction measures for all systems that could carry radioactive fluid outside the containment.

(b) Measure actual leakage rates with system in operation and report them to the NRC.

(2) Continuing Leak Reduction - Establish and implement a program of preventive maintenance to reduce leakage to as-low-as practical levels. This program shall include periodic integrated leak tests at intervals not to exceed each refueling cycle.

Response

a. Systems The surveillance program includes the following systems:

Residual Heat Removal (RHR)

Containment Spray Recirculation (CBS)

Charging System (CS) (Note 1)

Safety Injection (SI)

Primary Coolant Sampling (SS) (Note 2)

Hydrogen Detection (CGC) (Note 3)

Systems that may contain radioactive fluids under post-accident conditions that are not included in this surveillance are:

Hydrogen recombiners (CGC)

Basis: Seabrook's hydrogen recombiners are located inside the Primary Containment Building.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 15 STATION Compliance with NUREG-0737: Clarification of TMI Section 1.9 UFSAR Action Plan Requirements Page 30 Waste Gas (VG)

Basis: The vent gas headers in the containment are only used during infrequent maintenance operations during refueling outages such as the fill and vent of the Reactor Coolant System. Use of the system involves containment entry to open normally closed manual valves. This system is not required for post-accident monitoring or for accident mitigation. Refer to Note 1.

b. Immediate Leak Reduction Leak reduction program base line data was taken during initial plant start-up testing. The leakage found was measured and corrective action has been initiated for affected components. The leakage obtained during preoperational surveillance and inspections is contained in the Preoperational Leakage Reduction Tracking and History Report submitted to the NRC by letter NYN-87033, March 16, 1987.
c. Continuing Leak Reduction The leakage reduction program will continue throughout the life of the plant. A periodic surveillance procedure will either be conducted on an interval of once per refueling cycle, or specific portions may be conducted as part of the Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program. The surveillance procedure contains inspection sheets that are used to indicate systems/lines which are visually inspected.

Findings will be documented. Visual inspections are performed either with the system in operation or inspected after a functional system test for leakage determination.

Types of potential leakage locations include: valve body/bonnet joints, packing, mechanical flange connections, pump mechanical seals, etc. Boric acid deposit locations will be documented on the data sheets. The findings of the surveillance will be documented such that repetitive locations can be addressed for corrective actions. Corrective maintenance will be per the applicable work control documents.

d. "North Anna" Concerns (Note 4)

Actions have been taken (and will continue) to reduce potential release paths due to design and operation deficiencies. Preoperational design reviews have been completed to ensure the best possible system configuration and leakage reduction features such as valve stem leakoff, capped drain connections, orientation for maintenance access, etc. Operational issues such as component tagging, preoperational checkout of operating procedures, and the corrective action/root cause features of the plant problem reporting system will ensure the highest possible degree of operator performance.

SEABROOK INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Revision 15 STATION Compliance with NUREG-0737: Clarification of TMI Section 1.9 UFSAR Action Plan Requirements Page 31 Notes:

1. The high head safety injection portion of the Chemical and Volume Control System including the suction piping used during ECCS actuation (injection and recirculation modes) outside containment is included in the leakage reduction program. The letdown, degasifier, and purification subsystems are isolated during an accident situation and are not required for emergency core cooling. Seal water supply to the reactor coolant pumps does not require letdown flow and does not require makeup from the chemical and volume control tank.
2. The Post-Accident Sampling (PAS) subsystem is included in the leakage reduction surveillance test for the Primary Sample System. The gaseous post-accident samples are part of the hydrogen detection subsystem in the Combustible Gas Control System (CGC), (refer to Note 3).
3. The hydrogen detection subsystem of the Combustible Gas Control System (CGC) including the sample lines for post - accident gas samples are in the scope of the leakage reduction program. System is tested as part of the Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program. The Leakage Test Reference (SLTR) describing Option B or performance-based requirements of 10CFR50 Appendix J and Seabrook Station Technical Specifications for the Type B and Type C Leakage Rate Test Program is the basis for the CGC system testing. The Seabrook Station Option B Program is called the Containment Leakage Rate Testing (CLRT)
