ATTACHMENT 1 TO NL-09-070 REPLY TO NRC REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING PROPOSED CHANGES TO INDIAN POINT 2 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS REGARDING REACTOR VESSEL HEATUP AND COOLDOWN CURVES (TAC. NO. ME0788)
ENTERGY NUCLEAR OPERATIONS, INC INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNIT NO. 2 DOCKET No. 50-247
Enclosure 1 NL-09-070 Docket Nos. 50-247 Page 1 of 2 Response To Request For Additional Information By letter dated March 5, 2009, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc., (Entergy), submitted a license amendment request for Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit Number 2 (IP2)
Technical Specification changes regarding pressure-temperature (P-T) limits and low temperature overpressure protection (LTOP) setpoints. The Technical Specification changes intended to replace the current P-T limits and LTOP setpoints for 25 effective full power years (EFPY) with the proposed P-T limits and LTOP setpoints for 29 EFPY.
By letter of May 28, 2009 the Nuclear Regulatory Commission requested additional information on that request. Those requests and the responses are addressed below.
Question 1 In Table 2-3, the inlet (T-cold) operating temperatures are provided through cycle 8.
Provide T-cold values through the most recent cycle for IP2, IP3, and H.B. Robinson Unit 2. Confirm that the average values in Table 2-3 are still applicable, or provide updated values.
Response
The values contained in Table 2-3 of WCAP-16752 are accurate and up to date. The date provided in this table provide the input for determination of weld material Chemistry Factor (CF), as shown in Note (d) on Table 2-4. The temperatures are correlated to surveillance capsules pulled, and the most recent capsule from Indian Point Unit 2 was taken after the end of cycle 8. Therefore, any T-Cold values taken since then would have no effect on the resultant Chemistry Factor. Multiple plants (IP2, IP3, HBR) are identified in the tables, as they contain common surveillance weld material. Use of data from other plants provides a better statistical base for the establishment of CF, but, like Indian Point 2, only the T-Cold values taken up to the most recently pulled capsule are used in establishment of CF.
For plant operations purposes, Indian Point 2 operates with a T-Cold that is bounded by (i.e. warmer than) the average of 528 deg F shown on Table 2-3. However, this has no bearing on the determination of CF or Adjusted Reference Temperature (ART), as used in the WCAP.
Question 2 Figures 5.1 through 5.4, Appendix A and Appendix B do not identify or include instrumentation uncertainties. Provide values for the instrumentation uncertainties and revise Figures 5.1 through 5.4, Appendix A, and Appendix B to include instrumentation uncertainties, or explain how instrumentation uncertainties are otherwise accounted for in operation.
Enclosure 1 NL-09-070 Docket Nos. 50-247 Page 2 of 2
Response
The Technical Specification curves developed for Unit 2 did not include instrument uncertainty. That is applied later, as the approved Technical Specification curves are adapted into procedures and setpoints. Instrument penalties are being calculated and applied in the same manner to those of Calculation FMX-00270-00 (vendor calculation NET-177-01), which was transmitted to the NRC in Attachment 5 of the Indian Point 2 letter of July 13, 2001 (ML011990277) as part of the request for the current revision of the P/T curves that were based on 25 EFPY. The methodology is unchanged since that time and is being applied to the new curves in the same manner as before.
