UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON REACTOR SAFEGUARDS WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555 Honorable Joseph M. Hendrie Chairman February 16, 1979 U. s. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555
Subject:
REPORT ON THE FLUOR PCMER SERVICES INCORPORATED BMANCE-OF-PIANT STANJll>.RD SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT (BOPSSAR) AS APPLIED TO THE BABCOCK-205 ST.ANmRD NUCLEAR STEAM SUPPLY SYSTEM
Dear Dr. Hendrie:
During its 226th meeting, February 8-10, 1979, the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards reviewed the application of Fluor Power Services Incori:x>rated (formerly Fluor Pioneer Inc.) for Preliminary Design Ap-proval of its BOPSSAR, a standard nuclear balance-of-plant (BOP) de-signed to interface with a single-unit Babcock and Wilcox Company Babcock-205 standard pressurized-water reacto~ nuclear steam supply system (NSSS).
'Ihe Fluor BOPSSAR design has previously been reviewed by the Committee in relation to the Westinghouse RESAR-41 standard NSSS.
'Ihe Committee's rei:x>rt on this review is dated July 20, 1977.
'Ihe Com-mittee's report on the Babcock and Wilcox Company Babcock-205 standard NSSS is dated August 18, 1977. 'Ihe BOPSSAR design as applied to a Babcock-205 NSSS was considered at a Subcommittee meeting in Washington, D.C. on January 26, 1979. n.tring its review, the Committee had the benefit of discussions with representatives of Fluor Power Services Inc.
and the NRC Staff. 'lhe Committee also had the benefit of the docwnents listed.
'lhe Committee believes that the BOP design proi:x>sed in BOPS&lffi is ac-ceptable for a Preliminary Design Approval.. 'lhe Committee believes, however, that the several items mentioned in its report on BOPS&lffi in relation to RESAR-41 are applicable also to the use of BOPS&lffi with Babcock-205.
'Ihese matters should be addressed by the NRC Staff and the Utility-Applicant, as appropriate, du:ring the review of an appli-cation for a construction permit for a nuclear plant utilizing the BOPS&lffi and Babcock-205 standard designs. 'lhese items include: separa-tion of critical safety-related equipnent; safety-related interface requirements; coordination of interdependent instrwnentation and controls; provisions for protection against industrial sabotage; and provisions which anticipate the maintenance, inspection, and operational needs of the plant throughout its service life.

Honorable Joseph M. Hendrie 2 -
February 16, 1979 With regard to the generic items cited in the Committee's report, *status of Generic Items Relating to Light-Water Reactors: Report No. 6,* dated November 15, 1977, those items considered relevant to the use of BOPSSAR with a Babcock-205 NSSS are: II-2, SB, 6, 9; IIA-4; IIC-1, 2, 3A, 3B, 4, S, 6; IID-1, 2; IIE-1. 'lhese matters should be dealt with by the NRC Staff and the Applicant, as appropriate, when solutions are found.
'lbe.Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards believes that, if due con-sideration is given to the foregoing and to the recommendations in the Committee's report of August 18, 1977 on Babcock-205, Preliminary Design Approval can be granted for the use of BOPSSAR in conjunction with Babcock-205.
