l RESPONSE TO NRC REQUESTS FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION MATERIAL.S AND CIIEMICAL ENGINEERING BRANCH

Question 281.37 The applicant's-response to NRC question 281-8 jndicated CESSAR-DC conformance to EPRI-NE-5056-SR, dated June 1984, "PWR Secondary Water Chemistry Guidelines." However, Section 10.3.5,-Amendment E, does not indicate that the CESSAR-DC design provides system features which facilitate compliance with the EPRI secondary Water chemistry require-ments. CESSAR-DC should reference the latest revision of EPRI guidelinbs (EPRI NP-623s, dated December 1988, "PWR Secondary Water Chemistry Guidelines Revision 2."
e                     Response 281.37 System design features which facilitate compliance with EPRI report NP-6239, PWR Secondary Water Chemistry Guidelines, Revision 2 are summatized in the first paragraph of Section             I
: 10. 3. 5.1. - In particular, "(s] team generator secondary side         i

i                            generator.                                                       i B. = Continuous blowdown of the-steam generator to reduce-the concentrating effects of the steam generator.
C. Chemical addition to establish and maintain an 3,                           environment which minimizes system corrosion.
D. Preoperational cleaning of the feedwater system.
E. Minimizing feedwater oxygen content prior to entry into the steam generator."
Each of these system design features, in turn, is further
.                     described in subsequent paragraphs of Sections 10.3.5.1 and 10.3.5.2. Reference is also made to detailed descriptions of these features in other-sections of CESSAR-DC (e.g., the condensate cleanup system in Section 10.4.6, and the steam generator blowdown system in Section 10.4.8).
Since this information was judged by the NRC staff to meet the acceptance criteria for non-plant specific details of a water chemistry program as specified in Branch Technical Position MTEB 5-3 (see NUREG-0852, Safety Evaluation Report Related to the Final Design of the Standard Nuclear Steam Supply Reference System CESSAR System 80,,-Section 10.3.1),
C-E believes this information is sufficient for approval of CECSAR-DC.
This information was inadvertently omitted in the response

9 to NRC question 281-8. C-E had interpreted this question as only seeking conformance to the chemistry limits established by-the EPRI guidelines, anc not as questioning the way in which compliance with these limits will be attained.
Finally, in accordance with C-E's commitment to the EPRI PWR ocondary Water chemistry Guidelines (Revision 2, dated
                                                         ' December 1988; EPRI report NP-6239), Section 10.3.5.1 will be revised to state:
Operating chemistry limits for secondary-side steam generator water, feedwater and condensate (as extracted from PWR Secondary Water Chemistry Guidelines, Revision                              i

In particular, the normal pil for a mixed system will be speciflod as 8.5-9.2, with action required only if experience shows increased coppor transport at pit >9.2.

The applicant's response to NRC question 201-9 doon not                                   1 include abnormal limits for foodwater. EPRI report NP-6239                               '

Tablo 10.3.5-2 is correct and consistent with EPRI NP-6239.
In particular, EPRI Action Lovel 1 values correspond to the limits of C-E's normal operating specifications.           Action Level 2 values correspond to the limits of C-E'o abnormal operating specifications. Action Level 3 values correspond to C-E's immediate shutdown limits.
In accordanco with thoso definitions, exceeding C-E's normal oporating limits for steam generator foodwater invokon the corrective actions asucciated with EPRI Action Level 1.
Excooding any abnormal oporating limits would invoke the correctivo actions associated with Action Level 2. As EPRI has only specified Action Level 1 values for steam generator feodwater in Np-6239, it is only necessary to specify normal operating limits for feedwater. Tablo 10.3.5-2 is thoroforo correct in its omission of any abnormal feodwater limits.
However, in accordance with changes made to the foodwater chemistry raquiremonts as a result of Revision 2 to the EPRI PWR Secondarv Water Chemistry Guidelinen (EPRI Np-6239), C-E will modify Table 10.3.5-2 to indicato correctivo action is required for mixed system pit only if plant experienco shows increased copper transport at pil>9.2. The normal operating specification for the pl! of a copper-free system will be revised to 29.3 also as a result of the EPRI guidelines.
Finally, the normal hydrazine operating specification will not be revised to (23 x [O )) as C-E belloves 20 ppb to be the minimum acceptable lov31 in order to ac::ommodato minor fluctuations in condensato dissolved oxygon. This decision agrees with the noto accompanying the foodwater hydrazino specification in the EPRI guidelines (Noto c to Table 2-4a of NP-6239).

: a. Ucactor coolant makeup limits do not include reactive ailica, aluminum, magnesium, total calcium and magnesium and oxygen limits,
: b. Primary water limits do not include sulfate and silica limits,
: c. Primary water limits do not include action levels for
: 1. Cold shutdown (reactor <250 F)
: 2. Startup (reactor suberitical and >250 F)
: 3. Power operation (reactor critical)
Table 9.3.4.1.2 should be revised to incorporate these NP-7077 recommendations.
Response.281.47 The reactor coolant makeup water chemistry information in Table 9.3.4-1 will be deleted since it repeats information provided by Table 9.2.3-1, " Primary & Secondary Makeup Water Limits". Table 9.2.3-1 will be revised to include aluminum, magnesium, total calcium and magnesium, and oxygen limits.
In addition to deletion of the reactor coolant makeup water information, Table 9.3.4-1 will be revised to include the sulfate, startup and cold shutdown reactor coolant chemistry limits contained in EPRI report NP-7077, PWR Primary Water Chemistry Guidelines: Revision 2, dated November 1990. No silica operating limits will be included as silica is used as a diagnostic parameter to indicate ion exchange resin exhaustion. This is consistent with the EPRI guidelines.

Temperature >350*F for 7-10 days (2) Consistent with pH additive concentration.
(3) Hydrazine is maintained at 30-50 ppm any time the RCS is less than 150*F.
(4)   Prior to exceeding 150*F during heatup or below 400'F during cooldown.
(5)  Prior to a depressurization shutdown, reduce total gas to
                      <10cc(STP)/kg 2(H 0) to limit the possibility for explosive mixtures.
(6) During the transition from post-core to operating, hydrogen                          ' '
should be maintained in the 15 to 25cc(STP)/kg (H,0) range to minimize degassing requirements in case the reactbr plant must be shutdown and depressurized.
(7) Hydrogen should be <5cc(STP)/kg (H2 0) before securing the reactor coolant pumps.
(8) The abnormal condition of 0.35 to 2.0 ppm is permitted for up to 14 hours to allow for crud burst conditions.                                  B (9) N                                                          __ __

                             .           _m k 2M Secondary water chemistry is baned on the zero molids treatment method.                                         This method employs the use of volatile additives to maintain system pli and to scavenge dissolved oxygon which may be present in the focowater.
A noutralizing amine is added to establich and maintain alkaline conditions in the foodtrain.                                                                        Neutralizing amines which can be used for pli control are ammonia, morpholino, and cyclohoxylamine.
Ammonia should be used in plants employing condensate polishing to avoid rosie fouling.                                                                       Although the amines are volatile and will not concentrate in the steam generator, they will reach an equilibrium lover which will establish an alkaline condition in the steam generator.
Ilydrazine is added to scavengo dissolved oxygen which may be present in the foodwater.- Ilydrazine also tends to I
promote the
                                  -formation of a ~ protective oxido layer on metal                                                                                        surfaces by keeping these layers in a reduced chemical stato.
Both the p!! agent and hydrazine can be injected continuously at the discharge headers at                                                                        the condensate pumps or condonsato domineralizer,_
