Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Response to Request for Additional Information on License Amendment Request to Permit the use of Risk Informed Completion Times Responses to Request for Additional Information to NL-16-0307 Response to Request for Additional Information Request for Additional Information Regarding Emergency Diesel Completion Times The Current Vogtle Technical Specification 3.8.1 contains the following requirements:
Vogtle TS Limiting Condition for Operation 3.8.1 specifies operability requirements for AC electrical sources. With one Diesel Generator (DG) inoperable, Condition 8 is applicable. Condition 8 requires, in part:
Verify the Standby Auxiliary Transformer (SAT) is operable within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> and once per 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> thereafter (Required Action 8.2); and, either Verify an enhanced black-start Combustion Turbine Generator (CTG) is functional by verifying the CTG and the black-start diesel generator starts and achieves steady state voltage and frequency within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> or within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> prior to entry into Condition 8 (Required Action 8.5.1)
-OR-Start and run at least one CTG while in Condition 8 within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> or within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> prior to entry into Condition 8 for preplanned maintenance (Required Action 8.5.2).
Additionally Condition 8 requires:
Restore DG to operable status within 14 days from discovery of failure to meet LCO (Required Action 8.6).
LCO 3.8.1 Condition C applies when Required Actions 8.2, 8.5.1 or 8.5.2 and associated Completion Times are not met. Required Action C.1 requires:
Restore DG to Operable Status within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />.
If Required Action C.1 and its Completion Time are not met, the unit must be placed in Mode 3 within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and in Mode 5 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />.
Request for Additional Information:
The LAR proposes to add the option of either applying the existing front stop Completion Time or applying a Risk Informed Completion Time for Required Action C.1. The proposed change to the Completion Time for Required Action C.1 could permit operation for an extended period of time with one DG inoperable without verifying the availability of SAT or of the CTG. Please provide technical justification, including a discussion of defense-in-depth and safety margin considerations, for the addition of a risk-informed completion time for the Required Actions associated with LCO 3.8.1 Condition C, or propose a modification to the license amendment request that retains the existing CTs for verifying availability of SAT and functionality of a CTG.
E1-1 to NL-16-0307 Response to Request for Additional Information SNC Response SNC has modified the license amendment request (LAR) to eliminate the current risk-informed Condition 8 and to apply a Risk-Informed Completion Time only to the Condition with the 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> front stop (current VEGP LCO 3.8.1, Condition C).
The new Condition 8 in the VEGP mark-up, Enclosure 2, matches Condition 8 in the NUREG-1431 mark-up for TSTF-505. provides the marked-up Technical Specifications pages, including the change discussed above. For continuity, the entire RICT program mark-up is provided for LCO 3.8.1. Enclosure 3 provides the clean typed Technical Specifications pages; again for continuity, all RICT Program revised pages to date are included for LCO 3.8.1.
NRC Questions and SNC Responses from March 23, 2016 Teleconference NRC Question The response to RAI 1.b.ii states, The PRA Functional room cooling function is accomplished by opening doors instead of the room cooling system SSCs.
How is this consistent with the 1 a response that, "SSCs credited in the PRA Functionality determination are the same SSCs relied on to perform the specified safety function... "?
Is SNC specifically requesting NRC approval of alternate SSCs for use in establishing PRA functionality in this example? If so, are there any other similar instances in this LAR?
SNC Response Yes, SNC is specifically asking for approval for the use of manual action for opening ESF room doors for a TS Loss of Function (LOF) Condition inoperability related to "Engineered Safety Features (ESF) Room Cooler and Safety Related Chiller System".
There are no similar instances in the LAR.
NRC Question Concerning the SNC response to RAI 2.a, The RAI requested, "Please confirm that the acceptable PRA Functional modelled in the PRA is also available and sufficient... "
The response states that SSCs will remain "available" but does not appear to address "sufficient." Was this an oversight or has sufficient capability to accomplish design basis functions not in the PRA not been evaluated or assured?
E1-2 to NL-16-0307 Response to Request for Additional Information SNC Response Not addressing "sufficient" was an oversight.
The PRA Functionality evaluation performed following a TS LOF Condition will ensure that SSCs not supporting CDF/LERF will remain available, and will sufficiently perform their safety function with respect to the credited design basis scenario.
NRC Question The SNC Response to RAI 2.c states in part, For design basis initiators modeled in the internal events PRA, PRA Functionality determination performed subsequent to a TS LOF Condition entry will ensure design basis success criteria for parameters (e.g., flow rates, temperature limits) are met.
Are the "design basis success criteria for parameters" identical to "the existing PRA success criteria"? If not, does this response to RAI 2.c supersede the August 2, 2013, SNC Response to NRC Question #4 quoted below?
Nevertheless, SNC will voluntarily include a summary of the Risk Informed Completion Time (RICT) program in Chapter 16 of the FSAR, 'Technical Specifications". This will include a section on PRA Functionality which will list those conditions which must be satisfied before declaring a component as "PRA Functional" per the NEI 06-09 Guidelines. The section will explicitly state that for a TS component to be considered PRA Functional, its PRA success criteria, among other things, must be satisfied. For example, EGGS flow rates satisfying the PRA criteria are determined by the existing PRA success criteria for that system. Therefore, should an EGGS become inoperable due to failing to meet its required TS SR Flow rate, its Functionality status would depend on whether or not the actual measured flow rate met the PRA success criteria.
SNC Response The response to RAI2.c provided in the February 17, 2016letter is valid for a TS LOF Condition inoperabilites. The response from the August 2, 2013 letter remains valid for non-LOF Condition inoperabilites.
Additional SNC Discovery Regarding LCO 3.7.14 An oversight was recently discovered in the mark-up of LCO 3. 7.14, "Engineered Safety Features (ESF) Room Cooler and Safety Related Chiller System", for the Risk Informed Completion Time Program. A Loss of Function (LOF) Condition should have been applied to this LCO but was not. Accordingly, Technical Specifications pages are included in this letter that add the LOF Condition. This LOF Condition (new Condition B) is consistent with proposed EXAMPLE 1.3-8 Condition B from the September 13, 2012 submittal and is consistent with other LOF Conditions added by the LAR.

Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Response to Request for Additional Information on License Amendment Request to Permit the use of Risk Informed Completion Times Responses to Request for Additional Information to NL-16-0307 Response to Request for Additional Information Request for Additional Information Regarding Emergency Diesel Completion Times The Current Vogtle Technical Specification 3.8.1 contains the following requirements:
Vogtle TS Limiting Condition for Operation 3.8.1 specifies operability requirements for AC electrical sources. With one Diesel Generator (DG) inoperable, Condition 8 is applicable. Condition 8 requires, in part:
Verify the Standby Auxiliary Transformer (SAT) is operable within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> and once per 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> thereafter (Required Action 8.2); and, either Verify an enhanced black-start Combustion Turbine Generator (CTG) is functional by verifying the CTG and the black-start diesel generator starts and achieves steady state voltage and frequency within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> or within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> prior to entry into Condition 8 (Required Action 8.5.1)
-OR-Start and run at least one CTG while in Condition 8 within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> or within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> prior to entry into Condition 8 for preplanned maintenance (Required Action 8.5.2).
Additionally Condition 8 requires:
Restore DG to operable status within 14 days from discovery of failure to meet LCO (Required Action 8.6).
LCO 3.8.1 Condition C applies when Required Actions 8.2, 8.5.1 or 8.5.2 and associated Completion Times are not met. Required Action C.1 requires:
Restore DG to Operable Status within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />.
If Required Action C.1 and its Completion Time are not met, the unit must be placed in Mode 3 within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and in Mode 5 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />.
Request for Additional Information:
The LAR proposes to add the option of either applying the existing front stop Completion Time or applying a Risk Informed Completion Time for Required Action C.1. The proposed change to the Completion Time for Required Action C.1 could permit operation for an extended period of time with one DG inoperable without verifying the availability of SAT or of the CTG. Please provide technical justification, including a discussion of defense-in-depth and safety margin considerations, for the addition of a risk-informed completion time for the Required Actions associated with LCO 3.8.1 Condition C, or propose a modification to the license amendment request that retains the existing CTs for verifying availability of SAT and functionality of a CTG.
E1-1 to NL-16-0307 Response to Request for Additional Information SNC Response SNC has modified the license amendment request (LAR) to eliminate the current risk-informed Condition 8 and to apply a Risk-Informed Completion Time only to the Condition with the 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> front stop (current VEGP LCO 3.8.1, Condition C).
The new Condition 8 in the VEGP mark-up, Enclosure 2, matches Condition 8 in the NUREG-1431 mark-up for TSTF-505. provides the marked-up Technical Specifications pages, including the change discussed above. For continuity, the entire RICT program mark-up is provided for LCO 3.8.1. Enclosure 3 provides the clean typed Technical Specifications pages; again for continuity, all RICT Program revised pages to date are included for LCO 3.8.1.
NRC Questions and SNC Responses from March 23, 2016 Teleconference NRC Question The response to RAI 1.b.ii states, The PRA Functional room cooling function is accomplished by opening doors instead of the room cooling system SSCs.
How is this consistent with the 1 a response that, "SSCs credited in the PRA Functionality determination are the same SSCs relied on to perform the specified safety function... "?
Is SNC specifically requesting NRC approval of alternate SSCs for use in establishing PRA functionality in this example? If so, are there any other similar instances in this LAR?
SNC Response Yes, SNC is specifically asking for approval for the use of manual action for opening ESF room doors for a TS Loss of Function (LOF) Condition inoperability related to "Engineered Safety Features (ESF) Room Cooler and Safety Related Chiller System".
There are no similar instances in the LAR.
NRC Question Concerning the SNC response to RAI 2.a, The RAI requested, "Please confirm that the acceptable PRA Functional modelled in the PRA is also available and sufficient... "
The response states that SSCs will remain "available" but does not appear to address "sufficient." Was this an oversight or has sufficient capability to accomplish design basis functions not in the PRA not been evaluated or assured?
E1-2 to NL-16-0307 Response to Request for Additional Information SNC Response Not addressing "sufficient" was an oversight.
The PRA Functionality evaluation performed following a TS LOF Condition will ensure that SSCs not supporting CDF/LERF will remain available, and will sufficiently perform their safety function with respect to the credited design basis scenario.
NRC Question The SNC Response to RAI 2.c states in part, For design basis initiators modeled in the internal events PRA, PRA Functionality determination performed subsequent to a TS LOF Condition entry will ensure design basis success criteria for parameters (e.g., flow rates, temperature limits) are met.
Are the "design basis success criteria for parameters" identical to "the existing PRA success criteria"? If not, does this response to RAI 2.c supersede the August 2, 2013, SNC Response to NRC Question #4 quoted below?
Nevertheless, SNC will voluntarily include a summary of the Risk Informed Completion Time (RICT) program in Chapter 16 of the FSAR, 'Technical Specifications". This will include a section on PRA Functionality which will list those conditions which must be satisfied before declaring a component as "PRA Functional" per the NEI 06-09 Guidelines. The section will explicitly state that for a TS component to be considered PRA Functional, its PRA success criteria, among other things, must be satisfied. For example, EGGS flow rates satisfying the PRA criteria are determined by the existing PRA success criteria for that system. Therefore, should an EGGS become inoperable due to failing to meet its required TS SR Flow rate, its Functionality status would depend on whether or not the actual measured flow rate met the PRA success criteria.
SNC Response The response to RAI2.c provided in the February 17, 2016letter is valid for a TS LOF Condition inoperabilites. The response from the August 2, 2013 letter remains valid for non-LOF Condition inoperabilites.
Additional SNC Discovery Regarding LCO 3.7.14 An oversight was recently discovered in the mark-up of LCO 3. 7.14, "Engineered Safety Features (ESF) Room Cooler and Safety Related Chiller System", for the Risk Informed Completion Time Program. A Loss of Function (LOF) Condition should have been applied to this LCO but was not. Accordingly, Technical Specifications pages are included in this letter that add the LOF Condition. This LOF Condition (new Condition B) is consistent with proposed EXAMPLE 1.3-8 Condition B from the September 13, 2012 submittal and is consistent with other LOF Conditions added by the LAR.
