Response to SDAA Audit Question Question Number: A-16.3.3.1-2 Receipt Date: 09/18/2023 Question:
Should generic TS Table 3.3.1-1, page 4 of 8, include footnote (f) in the list of footnotes below the table, since the MODE 3 Applicability of Functions 17.b and 17.c includes footnote (f). This comment is based on the formatting convention of table footnotes described in Section 2.1.9 of TSTF-GG-05-01 ITS Writers Guide, Rev. 1.
Response
NuScale revises SDAA Technical Specification Table 3.3.1-1 (page 4 of 8) to include the following footnote:
(f) When not PASSIVELY COOLED.
This change was previously identified by NuScale, and is included in SDAA Revision 1.
Markups of the affected changes, as described in the response, are provided below:
