Attachment RA-16-0001 Page 1 of 5 RESPONSE TO NRC REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION NRC Comment: By letter dated June 24, 2015,1 Duke Energy Progress, Inc., and Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC (Duke Energy) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) for U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approval for several of its reactor sites. The proposed change would revise or add Technical Specification (TS) Surveillance Requirements (SRs) to verify that the system locations susceptible to gas accumulation are sufficiently filled with water and to provide allowances which permit performance of the verification. These changes are requested to address concerns discussed in NRC Generic Letter 2008-01, Managing Gas Accumulation in Emergency Core Cooling, Decay Heat Removal, and Containment Spray Systems.2 Duke Energy stated in its LAR that the proposal was consistent with Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) Traveler - 523, Revision 2, Generic Letter 2008-01, Managing Gas Accumulation.3 Contrary to the above statement, in its LAR, Duke Energy proposed a 92-day surveillance frequency for Brunswick SRs 3.5.1.1, 3.5.3.1, and 3.6.2.3.3 and Shearon Harris SR 4.6.2.1.e.
This differs from the 31-day surveillance frequency for the SRs requested for the other referenced sites. The NRC Model Safety Evaluation,4 specifies a 31-day surveillance frequency for the SRs. The NRC staff has reviewed the licensees submittal and determined that responses to the following Request for Additional Information (RAI) questions are needed to clarify the proposed 92-day frequency, and to complete its review.
- 1. Please provide the Brunswick surveillance history regarding gas accumulation, starting in 2008, that includes the surveillance date; the location; the measured, allowable, and as-left void volumes; the number of days since the last surveillance; the TS surveillance frequency; and clarification comments. Please do not include surveillance detail that determined existence of a water-solid condition. Please include the total number of Brunswick surveillances.
Duke Energy Response:
Table 1 provides the requested surveillance history data for the time period from October 2008 (site submittal of the nine-month response to NRC GL 2008-01) through November 2015 for the BSEP Emergency Core Cooling System Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.5.1.1, Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) System (proposed new SR 3.5.3.1),
and Residual Heat Removal (RHR) Suppression Pool Cooling System (proposed new SR 3.6.2.3.3). The total number of surveillances performed in this time period is provided in Table 2.
- 2. The proposed Technical Specification Bases for Brunswick SR 3.4.7.2, as submitted with the LAR, state, in part, that:
Gas accumulation in the RHR shutdown cooling (SDC) suction flow path is satisfactorily addressed by procedures which fill the system prior to placing SDC in service.

2 ADAMS Accession No. ML072910759.
3 ADAMS Accession No. ML13053A075.
4 ADAMS Accession No. ML13255A169.
Attachment RA-16-0001 Page 2 of 5 Is a follow-up measurement of high point voids conducted to assess the acceptability of the filling process?
Duke Energy Response:
The proposed Technical Specification Bases is consistent with the BSEP response to NRC Generic Letter 2008-01, submitted to the NRC by letter dated October 10, 2008 (ADAMS Accession No. ML082950466). Page 4 of the Enclosure to this letter included the following:
Gas accumulation in the RHR shutdown cooling (SDC) suction flow path is satisfactorily addressed by procedures which fill the system prior to placing SDC in service. Since the non-safety shutdown cooling mode of RHR is manually initiated at a low reactor pressure, sufficient time is available to ensure fill and warm-up of the flow path have been performed prior to RHR pump start to avoid any unacceptable pressure transients on the system.
By NRC letter dated June 24, 2011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML100890025), the NRC closed out their review of the BSEP response to NRC GL 2008-01.
Confirmatory ultrasonic testing (UT) inspections of the SDC suction flow path are performed after the SDC system is initially filled and vented following a drain down of the system in support of maintenance.
Plant operating procedures do not require that UT inspections be performed following fill and vent evolutions for initial system startup in the SDC mode of RHR. Since the SDC mode of RHR is manually initiated, there is sufficient time to ensure fill and warmup of the flow path prior to RHR pump start, thereby avoiding any unacceptable pressure transients on the system.
- 3. Please provide justification for selection of a 92-day frequency in Shearon Harris SR 4.6.2.1.e. Please include the RAI 1 and 2 information categories in the response when applicable.
Duke Energy Response:
Table 3 provides the requested surveillance history data for the time period from October 2008 (site submittal of the nine-month response to NRC GL 2008-01) through November 2015 for the HNP Containment Spray System (proposed new SR 4.6.2.1.e). The total number of surveillances performed in this time period was 90.
As described in the June 24, 2015 Duke Energy license amendment application, there is a small permanent void near valve 1CT-12 that was first identified in February 2008. The volume of the void was originally estimated as 257 in3 (0.15 ft3), but was subsequently reduced to approximately 10 in3 (0.005 ft3) with the installation of a local vent valve in 2010.
A void of approximately this size still exists. This permanent void is not reflected in Table 3.
The allowable void size at this location is 0.34 ft3.
RAI 2 is not applicable to HNP in that the proposed Technical Specification Bases for HNP does not include a statement similar to that quoted for BSEP.
