Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Units 3 and 4 License Amendment Request Add a New Tcold - High Function to Technical Specification Table 3.3.8-1 for Passive Residual Heat Removal Actuation Logic Changes Second Post-submittal Meeting: March 18, 2025 (LAR Submitted ML25045A166)

Agenda

  • Introduction
  • Background - DI&C ISG-06
  • Address ISG-06 for Software-Only Change
  • Address Additional Detail on Safety Analysis
  • Schedule

New TS 3.3.8 Tcold - High Function for PRHR Actuation Logic Changes Background - DI&C-ISG-06, Licensing Process

  • ISG Purpose (Section B)

- Guidance for the NRC staffs review of LARs for the installation of DI&C equipment

  • Scope of the LAR is software-only change to PMS
  • Lack of hardware/architectural changes provide for streamlined application of ISG-06 scope

- When based on an NRC-approved platform topical report, the NRC staff should be able, where appropriate, to limit its review to assessing whether the application of the DI&C modification conforms to the topical report approval

  • WCAP-16096-P-A, Software Program Manual for Common Q Systems [ML13081A047]
  • Alternate Review Process (in accordance with ISG-06 Revision 2)

- Safety determination before completion of detailed design, implementation, and testing 3

New TS 3.3.8 Tcold - High Function for PRHR Actuation Logic Changes DI&C-ISG-06 Enclosure B - Information for Planned Supplement

  • Summary of Vendor Oversight Plan (VOP) (ISG-06, C.2.2)

- SNC Vendor Oversight Plan (VOP) is an umbrella document that describes SNC processes and procedures that establish governance for oversight of WEC quality activities and product development during the project life cycle

- VOP Summary provided with the LAR Supplement will:

  • Describe processes and procedures to be used to review Design Artifacts and other technical products
  • Distinguish between SNC verification efforts and the V&V that WEC will conduct, as required by WCAP-16096-P-A, Software Program Manual for Common Q Systems
  • Identify the administrative control of, and change process for, the VOP, which will have provisions for maintaining and controlling the VOP to remain consistent with the NRC issued Amendment Safety Evaluation 4

New TS 3.3.8 Tcold - High Function for PRHR Actuation Logic Changes DI&C-ISG-06 Enclosure B - Information for Planned Supplement

  • Sections D.1 through D.8:

- As applicable to PRHR logic changes proposed in the LAR

- As applicable refer to reference approved Topical Report(s) rather than repeat details

- Where LAR provided expected content, refer to LAR Section

- Proprietary detailed design documents (e.g., I&C functional diagrams) available for audit

  • Refer to separate attachment for additional details 5

New TS 3.3.8 Tcold - High Function for PRHR Actuation Logic Changes Safety Analysis Impacts (Reference UFSAR Table 15.0-6)

As stated in LAR Section 3, the safety analyses that credit PRHR actuation on Low-2 narrow range SG level coincident with Low-2 startup feedwater flow are:

- Loss of Alternating Current (LOAC)

- Loss of Normal Feedwater - Both SGs Affected (LONF), including LONF with consequential LOAC As stated in LAR Section 3, additional evaluation was performed:

- Loss of Normal Feedwater - Only One SG Affected (Partial LONF)

Other non-limiting analyses not crediting PRHR actuation on Low-2 narrow range SG level remain unaffected by the LAR proposed change (inferred in LAR Section 3)

- Planned Supplement to provide Table of each limiting event in which PRHR actuation is credited and the credited actuation signal, along with applicable UFSAR subsection Additional UFSAR subsection 6.3.3.4.1 markup to be included in Supplement 6
