Steam Generator Blowdown Radiation Monitors The steam generator blowdown radiation monitors (BDS-JE-RE010, RE011) measure the                  l concentration of radioactive material in the blowdown from the steam generators. One               )
measures radiation in the purification process effluent before it is retumed to the condensate system. The other measures radioactivity in the blowdown system electrodeionization waste brine before it is discharged to the waste water system. 'Ihe presence of radioactive material in the steam generator blowdown indicates a leak between the primary side and the secondary       )
side of the steam generator. Refer to subsection 5.2.5 for details of leakage monitoring and      ,
to subsections 10.4.8 and 11.2 for process system details. The steam generator blowdown            '
radiation monitors meet the guidelines of Regulatory Guide 1.97 as discussed in Appendix 1 A and Section 7.5.
l AP600 has two steam generators, each of which has a blowdown line. Each blowdown line             i has a heat exchanger upstream of the blowdown flow control valve. The steam generator              i blowdown radiation detectors are located in the lines downstream of these heat exchangers.       j Therefore, the radiation monitors do not require a sample cooler.
When its predetermined setpoint is exceeded, each steam generator blowdown radiation monitor initiates an alarm in the main control room, initiates closure of the steam generator blowdown containment isoladon valves and the steam generator blowdown flow control valves, and diverts flow to the liquid radwaste system.
The steam generator blowdown radiation moniton we inline gamma sensitive, thallium-activated, sodium iodide scintillation detectors. The steam generator blowdown radiation monitor detector range and principal isotopes are listed in Table 11.5-1.
The arrangement for the steam generator blowdown radiation monitor is shown in Figure 11.5-1.
Component Cooling Water System Radiation Monitor The component cooling water system radiation monitor (CCS-JE-RE001) measures the concentration of radioactive material in the component cooling water system. Radioactive material in the component cooling water system provides indication of leakage. Refer to subsection 5.2.5 for details of leakage monitoring and to subsection 9.2.2 for process system details.

12.3.1.1.2 Common Facility and Layout Designs for ALARA I
This subsection describes the design features utilized for standard plant process and layout situations. Rese features are employed in conjunction with the general equipment described in subsection 12.3.1.1.1 and include the features described in the following paragraphs.
Valve biodules l                   Selected valve modules are provided with shielded entrances for personnel protection. Floor drains are provided to control radioactive leakage. To facilitate decontamination, concrete i                   surfaces are covered with a smooth surface coating which allows decontamination.
Piping Pipes canying radioactive materials are routed through controlled access areas properly zoned I
for that level of activity. Radioactive piping runs are analyzed to determine the potential radioactivity level and surface dose rate. Where it is necessary that radioactive piping be I
routed through corridors or other low radiation zone areas, shielded pipeways or distance i
separation are provided. Whenever practicable, valves and instruments are not placed in Revision: 7                                    3S7  i April 30,1996                                          12.3-6                              T Westinghouse 4

: 12. Radiation Protection i 12.3.2.2.9 Spent Fuel Transfer Canal and Tube Shielding i            The spent fuel transfer tube is shielded to within adjacent area radiation zone limits. This is primarily achieved through the use of concrete and water. The only removable shielding consists of concrete or s' eel hatches which reduce radiation in accessible areas to within those levels prescribed in the normal operation radiation zone maps (Figure 12.3-1).
The spent fuel transfer tube is completely enclosed in concrete and there is no unshielded I            portion of the spent fuel transfer tube during the refueling operation. The only potential I            radiatien streaming path associated with the tube shielding configuration is the 2 inch I            (5.08 cm) seismic gap between the fuel transfer tube shielding and the steel containment wall.
I            Shielding of this gap is provided by a water-filled bladder. This " expansion gap" radiation I            shield provides effective reduction of the radiation fields during fuel transfer and I
accommodates relative movement between the containment and the concrete transfer tube I
shielding with no loss in shield integrity. A removable hatch in the shield conf pration provides access for inspecti_on of the fuel transfer tube welds. The opening of :his hatch is administratively controll        is hatch is in place during the snent fuel transfer operation.
Iasewrxrevsetr12.L2.2.Q 12.3.2.3   Shielding Calculational Methods The shielding thicknesses provided for compliance with plant radiation zoning and to minimize plant personnel exposure are based on maxiraum equipment activities under the plant operating conditions described in Chapter 11 and Section 12.2. The thickness of each shield wall surrounding radioactive equipment is determined by approximating as closely as practicable the actual geometry and physical condition of the source or sources. The isotopic concentrations are convened to energy group sources using data from standard references (References I through 6).
The geometric model assumed for shielding evaluation of tanks, heat exchangers, filters, ion exchangers, and the containment is a finite cylindrical volume source. For shielding evaluation of piping, the geometric model is a finite shielded cylinder. In cases where radioactive materials are deposited on surfaces such as pipe, the latter is treated as an annular cylindrical surface source.
The computer code SHIELD-SG (Reference 11) is used to calculate dose rates. For complex
  !             geometries other computer codes such as QAD (Reference 16) are used. Buildup, calculated using Berger coefficients presented in ORNL-RSIC-10 (Reference 7) and Blizard's Method-of Buildup Determination, presented in the Engineering Compendium on Radiation Shielding I             (Reference 8), is used for laminated shields.
The source activity (Ci) and gamma ray source strengths (MeV/sec) are calculated using one of the following computer codes:              ORIGEN (Reference 17), SOURCE 2/ACCUM (Reference 12), or RADGAS3 (Reference 13). ACCUM (Reference 12) is an option wi W l             SOURCE 2 that computes isotope accumulation for several time periods from a given flow of isotopes in curies per second. His accumulated activity may then be decayed for any number of decay times at which gamma energy spectra and isotope Curie activity an: computed.

We are growing increasingly concerned that this area will not be closed out in a timely manner given the progress that has been made to date. Our observation is that additional resources are needed at the reviewer level.

It would be helpful if we had the position letters that Tim indicated were in the works at the March 3 meeting in time to discuss them at the next meeting.                                                                                                                                  l l

"Our March 7,1997 meeting with NRC on fire protection was not as productive as expected. Westinghouse came prepared to explain its position on " cold" versus " safe" shutdown for fire protection, protection of fire main water supply in the event of a turbine hall fire, and smoke control logic. It was not apparent to us that the NRC had performed any review, coordination, or their action items since the last meeting on February 10,1997. No items were closed, but Westinghouse did provide its position to NRC management (section lead Steve West). Mr. West agreed that it is time for NRC to review what Westinghouse had provided. Westinghouse must formally document the information provided at the meeting. This will be complete this week."

FAX TO DIANE JACKSON April 2,1997 cc:      Hutchings Cummins R. M. Vijuk McIntyre Lindgren Jeanne Evans Here is a package of information related to the design change I discussed with you last week. It is being sent for your preliminary review. It concerns a modification to the VAS. In order to simplify arrangements and to have a simpler, more maintainable, and more cost effective system, we combined the radioactive chemistry laboratory HVAC subsystem with another subsystem within VAS. This change will go into Revision 12 of the SSAR unless we hear from you that it will cause a delay in FSER section 9.4 or if it is unacceptable to the reviewer. I'll call you soon to set up a telephone call to further explain this package, if required.
Thanks Jim Winters 412-374-5290 l

These areas are served by a separate supply air subsystem consisting of two 100 percent capacity supply air handling units and a single electric humidifier located in the common ductwork downstream of the supply air handling units. Each supply air handling unit has a HEPA filter bank, a hot water heating coil and a supply fan designed to maintain ambient room temperatures between 73-78 F with a relative humidity of 35-50% in accordance with URD Chapter 9 paragraph 8.2.6.                 Because these areas are considered to be normally occupied,100 percent redundant units are provided in accordance with URD Change Notice 445.
The URD requires HEPA filtration of supply air based on previous PWR design considerations to support calibration of equipment sensitive to airborne particulate (nonradioactive) contamination. AP600 does not utilize equipment that requires HEPA filtration of supply air. In a meeting with the USG on 11/21/96, it was agreed that a separate ventilation system with HEPA filtration is not necessary. (Ref: URD Finding
    $9520) Design room temperatures, however, should not exceed 80 F assuming major equipment failure.
Desien Chance:                                                                                #
Because HEPA filtration is not required, the dedicated supply air handling units (VASp S-003A/B) which are located in the annex building can be replaced with local duct electric reheat coils and humidifierslocated in the auxiliary building, ne radiation chemistry laboratory will be realigned to the supply and exhaust air ducts branches that serve the auxiliary building to eliminate the need to install lorig runs of dedicated HVAC ductwork between the auxiliary and annex buildings. Additionally, the primary sample room is temporarily occupied only when fluid samples are being collected. Its design room te(mperature range will be revised from 73-78'F to 50-1(M*F based on the URD criteria for plant areas with? frequent inspections.
Humidification of supply air for the primary sample room will be eliminated he supply airflow rate to the radiation chemistry laboratory and security rooms will be increased so that when one 50% capacity aux / annex building supply air handling unit is shutdown for maintenance, there will be adequate flow to maintain design room temperature conditions in accordance wit URD Change Notice 445. Herefore, continuous reheat is required so that these rooms are not over-cooled during normal plant operation.
Electric reheat coils will be provided because the hot water heating system (VYS) is not intended to be operated on a continuous basis. Each reheat coil will be furnished with 2 stages of electric heat to provide backup heating elements in the event there is a failure of one heating stage. He rad chem lab pressure differential controls used to modulate the supply fan inlet vanes will be deleted because they are not required to compensate for changes in the HEPA filter loading. The supply and exhaust airflow will be manually balanced to maintain a slightly negative air pressure with respect to adjacent access corridors.

Justification:
i This change does not affect safety-related or defense-in-depth equipment, It maintains compliance with the URD design room temperature, pressure and equipment redundancy criteria while reducing the total number of fans, dampers, nlters and quantity of ductwork installed in the plant.

Normal Plant Operation i
During normal plant operation, one of two supply air handling units operates continuously to    t i
ventilate the areas served on a once through basis. The supply airflow rate is modulated to l
maintain the radiation chemistry laboratory at a slightly negative pressure differential with I
respect to the adjacent access corridor. The exhaust air is unfiltered and directed to the plant i
vent by the auxiliary / annex building ventilation subsystem for monitoring of gaseous offsite I                     releases.
I I
ne temperature of the supply air is controlled by a temperature sensor located in the radiatior I
chemistry laboratory. When the radiation chemistry laboratory room air temperature is low.
I hot water valves to the supply air hot water heating coils are opened to maintain the room I
temperature within its normal design temperature range. He security rum and primary I
sample room temperature conditions will vary according to the demand for s ,pplemental heat I
in the radiation chemistry laboratory. A humidifier maintains the relative humidity in the I
areas served above 35 percent for personnel comfort during periods of low outside humidity I
conditions. De exhaust air from the radiation chemistry laboratory and primary sample room I
is continuously monitored by a smoke monitor located in the common exhaust air ductwork.
I The operating supply air handling unit is automatically shut down and the standby unit is I

If high airbome radioactivity is detected in the exhaust air from the annex building (which I
includes the exhaust air from the areas served by the radiation chemistry laboratory ventilation I
subsystem), the annex building supply and exhaust air isolation dampers close and the I
radiation chemistry laboratory supply air handling unit fan is automatically shut down De I
containment air filtration system provides filtered exhaust to maintain the isolated zone at a I
slightly negative pressure differential with respect to the outside environment and adjacent I
unaffected plant areas. Other abnormal conditions causing closure of the annex building i
isolation dampers also shut down the radiation chemistry laboratory supply air handling unit        !

If smoke is detected in the common exhaust air duct from the radiation chemistry laboratory I
and prunary sample room, an alarm is initiated in the trutin control room. He radiationl I
chemistry laboratory remains in operation unless plant operators detemune that there is a need I
to manually shut down the subsystem. In the event of a fire occurring within the areas served,       :

9.1.2.2.1   Spent Fuel Rack Design A. Design and Analysis of Spent Fuel Racks The spent fuel storage racks are purchased equipment. The purchase specification for          t the spent fuel storage racks will require the vendor to perfonn conftrmatory dynamic and      I stress analyses. The seismic and stress analyses of the spent fuel racks will consider the various conditions of full, partially filled, and empty fuel assembly loadings. The racks will be evaluated for the safe shutdown earthquake condition and seismic Category I requirements. A detailed stress analysis will be performed to verify the acceptability of the critical load components and paths under normal and faulted conditions. The racks I
rest on the pool floor and are evaluated to determine that under loading conditions they do not impact each other nor do they impact the pool walls.
The dynamic response of the fuel rack assembly during a seismic event is the condition which produces the governing loads and stresses on the structure.
Loads and Load Combinations The applied loads to the spent fuel racks are:                                               '

The margins of safety for the racks in the multi-direction seismic event are produced using loads obtained from the seismic analysis based on the simultaneous application of three statistically independent, orthogonal accelerations.
B. Fuel Handling Machine Uplift Analysis An analysis will be performed to demonstrate that the racks can withstand a maximum uplift load of 5000 pounds. This load will be applied to a postulated stuck fuel assembly. Resultant rack stresses will be evaluated against the stress limits and will be demonstrated to be acceptable. It will also be demonstrated that there is no change in rack geometry of a magnitude which causes the criticality criterion to be violated.

: 9. Auxiliary Systems C. Fuel Assembly Drop Accident Analysis In the unlikely event of dropping a fuel assembly, accidental deformation of the rack will be determired and evaluated in the criticality analysis to demonstrate that it does not cause the criticality criterion to be violated. The analysis will consider only the case of a dropped spent, irradiated fuel assembly in a flooded pool and will take credit for dissolved boron in the water.
For the analysis of a dropped fuel assembly,Iwo accident conditions are postulated. The first accident condition conservatively assumes that the weight of a fuel assembly, control rod assembly, and handling tool (2800 pounds total) impacts the top of the fuel rack from a drop height of 3 feet above the top of the rack. Both a straight drop and an inclined drop will be included in the assessment. Calculations will be performed which demonstrate that the impact energy is absorbed by the dropped fuel assembly, the rack cells, and the rack base plate assembly. Under these faulted conditions, credit is taken for dissolved boron in the pool water.
The second accident condition assumes that the dropped assembly and handling tool (2800 pounds) falls straight through an empty cell and impacts the rack base plate from a drop height of 3 feet above the top of the rack. The analysis will be performed which will demonstrate that the impact energy is absorbed by the fuel assembly and the rack base plate. At an interior rack location, base plate deformation is limited so that the pool liner is not impacted. At a support pad location, the stresses developed in the pool liner will be evaluated to be within allowable limits such that the liner integrity is maintained.
* Under these faulted conditions, credit is taken for dissolved boron in the pool water.
D. Fuel Rack Sliding and Overturning Analysis l
l Consistent with the criteria of Reference 5, the racks will be evaluated for overturning           l and sliding displacement due to earthquake conditions under the various conditions of              I full, partially filled, and empty fuel assembly loadings.

Fuel Assembly Drop Accident Analysis In the unlikely event of dropping a fuel assembly, accidental deformation of the rack will be determined and evaluated in the criticality analysis to demonstrate that it does not cause the criticality criterion to be siolated. The analysk considers only the case of a dropped new fuel assembly.
For the analysis of a dropped fuel assembly, two accident conditions are postulated. The first accident condition conservatisely assumes that the weight of a fuel assembly and handling tool (1625 pounds total) impacts the top of the fuel rack from a drep height of     ;
3 feet. Both a straight drop and an inclined drop will be included in the assessment.        !
Calculations will be performed which demonstrate that the impact energy is absorbed by        !
the dropped fuel assembly, the rack cells, and the rack base ptrte assembly.
The second accident condition assumes that the dropped asserably and tool (1625 pounds) falls straight through an empty cell and impacts the rack base plate from a drop height of 3 feet above the top of the rack. An analysis will be performed that will demonstrate the impact energy is absorbed by the fuel assembly and the rack base plate. The resulting rack deformations will be evaluated in the criticality analysis to demonstrate that the criticality criteria are not violated.

: 9. Auxiliary Systems C. Fuel Assembly Drop Accident Analysis In the unlikely event of dropping a fuel assembly, accidental deformation of the rack will be determined and evaluated in the criticality analysis to demonstrate that it does not cause the criticality criterion to be violated. The analysis will consider only the case of a dropped spent, irradiated fuel assembly in a flooded pool and will take credit for dissolved boron in the water.
For the analysis of a dropped fuel assembly, two accident conditions are postulated. The first accident condition conservatively assumes that the weight of a fuel assembly, control rod assembly, and handling tool (2800 pounds total) impacts the top of the fuel rack from a drop height of 3 feet above the top of the rack. Both a straight drop and an inclined drop will be included in the assessment. Calculations will be performed which demonstrate that the impact energy is absorbed by the dropped fuel assembly, the rack cells, and the rack base plate assembly. Under these faulted conditions, credit is taken for dissolved boron in the pool water.
The second accident condition assumes that the dropped assembly and handling tool (2800 pounds) falls straight through an empty cell and impacts the rack base plate from a drop height of 3 feet above the top of the rack. The analysis will be performed which will demonstrate that the impact energy is absorbed by the fuel assembly and the rack base plate. At an interior rack location, base plate deformation is limited so that the pool liner is not impacted. At a suppon pad location, the stresses developed in the pool liner will be evaluated to be within allowable limits such that the liner integrity is maintained.
Under these faulted conditions, credit is taken for dissolved boron in the pool water.
D. Fuel Rack Sliding and Overturning Analysis Consistent with the criteria of Reference 5, the racks will be evaluated for overturning and sliding displacement due to earthquake conditions under the various conditions of fg           '; P. d amntv fuel assembly loadings.
E. Failure of the Fuel Handling Jib Crane ne fuel handling jib crane is a seismic Category 11 component. The crane is evaluate to show that it does not collapse into the spent fuel pool as a result of a seismic event.
Stress analyses will be performed by the vendor using loads developed by the dynamic analysis. Stresses will be calculated at critical sections of the rack and compared to acceptance criteria referenced in ASME Section III Division 1. Article NF3000.
9.1.2.3      Safety Evaluation he design and safety evaluation of the spent fuel racks is in accordance with Reference 5.
The racks, being Equipment Class 3 and seismic Category I structures, are designed to 8-                                                 Revision: 7 9.1-9                                     APril 30,1996

==Dear Mr. Quay:==

Enclosed a're three copies of the Westinghouse responses to open items on AP600 topics. Responses to nine RAls are included in this transmittal. RAI 410.261 provides infonnation on Section 9 of the SSAR. Responses to RAI 440.571, Revision 1, discusses the OSU Test Analysis Report. Responses
;        to RAls 260.83,84,85,86,87,88, and 89 address questions on Section 3 of the SSAR.
r The NRC technical staff should 'eview     these respenses as a part of their review of the AP600 design.
These responses close, from a Westinghouse perspective, the addressed questions. The NRC should                .
inform Westinghouse of the status to be designated in the "NRC Status" column of the OITS.
Please contact Brian A. McIntyre on (412) 374-4334 if you have any questions concerning this transmittal.

l Ouestion 410.261 Provide the following information on the hot water heating system (HHS) discussed in Section 9.2.10 of the SSAR:
: a. Specify the operating pressures and temperatures of the HHS piping that supply hot water to major areas of the plant.
: b. Are any of the HHS lines routed into the containment that require containment isolation? If so, specify the safety class and seismic category of the portions of the HHS piping at the containment penetrations between i              the containment isolation valves.
i'
: c. Specify the potential consequences of a break in the HHS piping and the protective measures to prevent damage (such as flooding) on safety-related systems.
: d. Do any of the HHS lines run over or through the control room?

===Response===

: a. The operating pressure and temperature of the hot water heating system (VYS) is about 300T (supply),
.              2207 (return) and 120 psig. De piping design conditions are 3207 and 200 psig.
: b. No VYS lines are routed inside the containment.
I
: c. No VYS piping is routed in rooms that contain safety-related equipment. There are no adverse consequences on safety-related components or equipment due to postulated breaks in the VYS piping routed in nonsafety-related areas.
: d. The VYS lines are not routed over or through the main control room.
This response is consistent with Revision 10 of the SSAR and the Revision I response to RAI 410.289.

De new fuel storage facility is located within the seismic Category I auxiliary building fuel handling area. He facility is protected from the effects of natural phenomena such as           <
canhquakes, wind, tornados, floods, and external missiles by the extemal walls of the auxiliary I building. See Section 3.5 for additional discussion on protection from missiles. He facility     ,
is designed to rnaintain its structural integrity following a safe shutdown earthquake and to   i perform its intended function following a postulated event such as fire, internal missiles, or   l pipe break. The walls surrounding the fuel handling area and new fuel storage pit protect the    I fuel from missiles generated inside the auxiliary building. He fuel handling area does not contain a credible source of missiles. Refer to subsection 1.2.6 for a discussion of the auxiliary building. Refer to Section 3.8 for a discussion of the stmetural design of the new     I fuel storage area. Refer to subsection 3.5.1 for a discu" inn nr miuile sources and protection. l e dry, unlined, approximately 15.5-feet deep reinforced concrete pit is designed to pros suppon for the new fuel storage rack. The rack is supported by the pit floor and laterally supported as required at the rack top grid structure by the pit wall structures. The walls of the new fuel pit are seismic Category I. He new fuel pit is normally covered to prevent foreign objects from entering the new fuel storage rack. Since the only crane that can access i              the new fuel pit does have the capacity to lift heavy objects, as defined in subsection 9.1.5, the new fuel pit cover is not designed to protect the fuel assemblies from the effects of dropped heavy objects. Figures 1.2-7 through 1.2-10 show the relationship between the new fuel storage facility and other features of the fuel handling area.
l l             ne new fuel storage pit is drained by gravity drains that are part of the radioactive waste I
drain system (subsection 9.3.5), draining to the waste holdup tanks which are part of the liquid I
radwaste system (Section 11.2). These drains preclode flooding of the pit by an accidental ase of water.
1 Nonseismic equipment in the vicinity of the new fuel storage racks is evaluated to confirm that its failure could not result in an increase of Kert beyond the maximum allowable Keff.
Refer to subsection 3.7.3.13 for a discussion of the nonseismic equipment evaluation.
A jib crane is used to load new fuel assemblies into the new fuel rack and transfer new fuel assemblies from the new fuel pit into the spent fuel pool. De capacity of the jib crane is limited to 2000 lbs. The new fuel pit is not accessed by the fuel handling machine or by the cask handling crane. This precludes the movement ofloads greater than fuel components over stored new fuel assemblies.
During fuel handling ope' rations, a ventilation system removes gaseous radioactivity from the atmosphere above the new fuel pit. Refer to subsection 9.4.3 for a discussion of the fuel handling area HVAC system and Section 11.5 for process radiation monitoring. Security for the new fuel assemblies is described in Section 13.6.

}a l     9.1.1.2      Facilities Description 4
The new fuel storage facility is located within the seismic Category I auxiliary building fuel handling area. The facility is protected from the effects of natural phenomena such as canhquakes, wind, tornados, floods, and extemal missiles by the extemal walls of the auxiliary building. See Section 3.5 for additional discussion on protection from missiles. The facility is designed to maintain its structural integrity following a safe shutdown earthquake and to perform its intended function following a postulated event such as fire, intemal missiles, or pipe break. The walls surrounding the fuel handling area and new fuel storage pit protect the fuel from missiles generated inside the auxiliary building. The fuel handling area does not contain a credible source of missiles. Refer to subsection 1.2.6 for a dia:ussion of the auxiliary boilding.

The dry, unlined, approximately 15.5-feet deep reinforced concrete pit is designed to provides suppon for the new fuel storage rack. He rack is supported by the pit floor and laterally supported as required at the rack top grid structure by the pit wall structures. The walls of             ,

A jib crane is used to load new fuel assemblies into the new fuel rack and transfer new fuel assemblies from the new fuel pit into the spent fuel pool. The capacity of the jib crane is limited to 2000 lbs. De new fuel pit is not accessed by the fuel handling machine or by the cask handling crane. His precludes the movement of loads greater than fuel components over stored new fuel assemblies.
During fuel handling operations, a ventilation system removes gaseous radioactivity from the atmosphere above the new fuel pit. Refer to subsection 9.4.3 for a discussion of the fuel handling area HVAC system and Section 11.5 for process radiation monitoring. Security for the new fuel assemblies is described in Section 13.6.

9.1.1.2.1    New Fuel Rack Design A. Design and Analysis of the New Fuel Rack
'                         The new fuel storage racks are purchased equipment. The purchase specification for the new fuel storage racks will require the vendor to perform confirmatory dynamic and stress analyses. The seismic and stress analyses of the new fuel rack will consider the               '
various conditions of full, partially filled, and empty fuel assembly loadings. The rack l-will be evaluated for the safe shutdown earthquake conditien against the seismic
[      l Category I requirements. A stress analysis will be performed to verify the acceptability

[      t rests on the pit floor and is braced as required to the pit wall stmetures.
The dynamic response of the fuel rack assembly during a seismic event is the condition
(
'                         which produces the goveming loads and stresses on the structure. The new fuel storage                  (
rack is designed to meet the seismic Category I requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.29.

Table 9.1-1 shows loads and load combinations considered in the analyses of the new fuel rack.                                                                                             ;
The margins of safety for the rack in the multi-direction seismic event are produced using loads obtained from the seismic analysis based on the simultaneous application of three statistically independent, onhogonal accelerations.
B. Fuel Handling Jib Crane Uplift Analysis An analysis will be performed to demonstrate that the racks can withstand a maximum uplift load of 2000 pounds. This load will be applied to a postulated stuck fuel assembly. Resultant rack stresses will be evaluated against the stress limits and will be demonstrated to be acceptable, it will also be demonstrated that there is no change in rack geometry of a magnitude which causes the criticality criterion to be violated.

C. Fuel Assembly Drop Accident Analysis in the unlikely event of dropping a fuel assembly, accidental deformation of the rack will be determined and evaluated in the criticality analysis to demonstiate that it does not cause the criticality criterion to be violated. The analysis considers only the case of a dropped new fuel assembly.
For the analysis of a dropped fuel assembly, two accident conditions are postulated. The first accident condition conservatively assumes that the weight cf a fuel assembly and handling tool (1625 pounds total) impacts the top of the fuel rack from a drop height of 3 feet. Both a straight drop and an inclined drop will be included in the assessment.
Calculations will be performed which demonstrate that the impact energy is absorbed by the dropped fuel assembly, the rack cells, and the rack base plate assembly.
The second accident condition assumes that the dropped assembly and tool (1625 pounds) falls straight through an empty cell and impacts the rack base plate from a drop height of 3 feet above the top of the rack. An analysis will be performed that will demonstrate the impact energy is absorbed by the fuel assembly and the rack base plate. The resulting rack deformations will be evaluated in the criticality analysis to demonstrate that the criticality criteria are not violated.
D. Failure of the Fuel Handling Jib Crane The fuel handling jib crane is a seismic Category 11 component. The crane and the attachment to the building structure is evaluated to show that the crane does not fall into the new fuel storage pit during a seismic event.
E. Internally Generated Missiles The fuel handling area does not cortain any credible sources of intemally generated missiles.
i Stress analyses will be performed by the vendor using loads developed by the dynamic                 i analysis. Stresses will be calculated at critical sections of the rack and compared to acceptance criteria referenced in ASME Section 111, Divisien I, Anicle NF3000.
                                                                                                                       )
9.1.1.3     Safety Evaluation The rack, being a seismic Category i structure, is designed to withstand normal and postulated dead loads, live loads, loads resulting from thermal effects, and loads caused by the safe shutdown eanhquake event.
The design of the rack is such that Ke rr remains less than or equal to 0.95 with new fuel of the maximum design basis enrichment. For a postulated accident condition of floodmg of the new fuel storage area with unborated water, Kerr does not exceed 0.98.

9.13.433 Loss of Offsite Power The spent fuel pool cooling system pumps are automatically loaded on the respective onsite standby diesel generator in the event of a loss of offsite power. The spent fuel pool cooling system is capable of providing spent fuel pool cooling following this event.
9.13.43.4 Station Blackout Following a loss of ac power (off-site power and both diesel generators), the heat capacity of the water in the pool is such that cooling of the fuel is maintained. Table 9.1-4 provides the      l times before boiling would occur in the pool following station blackout for various scenarios as well as the muumum levels of water that would be reached. Activity releases due to pool boiling are analyzed. The release concentrations at the site boundary are small fractions of the limits specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B with no credit for removal of activity by building ventilation systems (which are not available during loss of ac power situations). See subsection 9.13.1. The equipment in the fuel handling area exposed to elevated temperature and humidity conditions as a result of pool boiling does not provide a safety-related mitigation of the effects of spent fuel pool boiling or station blackout.
Oi  I Spent fuel pool makeup for long term station blackout can be provided through a seismically qualified safety-related makeup connection from the passive contamment cooling system water storage tank. This connection is located in an area of the auxiliary building that can be accessed without exposing operating personnel to excessive levels of hadiation or adverse environmental conditions during boiling of the pool. Operating personnel are not required to enter the fuel handling area when normal cooling is not available, and are not required to enter the area to recover normal cooling.

: 9. Ammary Systems          j The spen: fuel pool cooling system includes safety-related connections to establish makeup to the spent fuel pool within 72 hours following a design basis event including a seismic event.
Radiation shielding normally provided by the water above the fuel is not required when normal spent fuel pool cooling is not available. Personnel are not permitted in the area when the level in the pool is below the minimum level.
               'Ihe acceptability of the design of the spent fuel pool cooling system is based on specific General Design Criteria (GDCs) and Regulatory Guides as described in Sections 3.1 and 1.9.
9.13.6      Inspection and Testing Requirements 1
Active components of the spent fuel pool cooling system are either m contmuous or                    '
intermittent use during normal system operation. Periodic visual inspection and preventive      ',
maintenance are conducted.
No specific equipment tests are required since system components are normally in operation when spent fuel is stored in the fuel pool. Sampling of the fuel pool water for gross activity.
l tritium and particulate matter is conducted periodically.
9.13.7      Instrumentation Requirements                                                                         l

The boric acid concentration in the water is sufficient to preclude criticality.                              i The associated fuel handling stmetures may be generally divided into two areas: the refueling cavity which is flooded only during plant shutdown for refueling, and the sper.t fuel pool and transfer canal, which is kept full of water. See subsection 9.1.1.3 for new fuel assembly storage. The new and spent fuel storap areas are accessible to operating personnel. The refueling cavity and the fuel Storage arcs are connected by the fuel transfer tube which is fitted with a quick opening hatch on we canal end and a valve on the fuel storage area end.
The hatch is in place except during refueling to provide containment integrity. Fuel is carried through the tube on an underwater transfer car.
1 Fuel is moved between the reactor vessel and the fuel transfer system by the refueling               !
machine. 'Ibe fuel transfer system is used to move up to two fuel assemblies at a time
                                                                                                                     )
between the containment building and the auxiliary building fuel handling area. After a fuel l
assembly is placed in the fuel container, the lifting arm pivots the fuel asst. ably to the          ,
borizontal position for passage through the fuel transfer tube. After the transfer car transports    {
the fuel assembly through the transfer tube, the lifting arm at that end of the tube pivots the      )
assembly to a vertical position so that the assembly can be lifted out of the fuel container.
In the fuel handling area, fuel assemblies are moved about by the fuel handling machine.
Initially, a short tool is used to handle new fuel assemblies, but the new fuel elevator must be used to lower the assembly to a depth at which the fuel handling machine can place the new fuel assemblies into or out of the spent fuel storage racks.
Decay heat, generated by the spent fuel assemblies in the fuel pool is removed by the spent fuel pool cooling and cleanup system. After a sufficient decay period, the spent fuel assemblies are removed from the fuel tacks and loaded into a spent fuel shipping cask for removal from the site.
9.1.4.2.2   Refueling Procedure                          ,
New fuel assemblies received for refueling are removed one at a time from the shipping container and moved into the new fuel assembly inspection area. After inspection, the accepted new fuel assemblies are stored in the new fuel storage racks. For the initial core load, some new fuel assemblies may be stored in the spent fuel pool.
Prior to initiating the refueling operation, the reactor coolant system (RCS) is boratad and cooled down to refueling shutdown conditions as specified in the Technical Specifications.
Criticality protection for refueling operations is specified in the Technical Specifications. The following significant points are addressed by the refueling procedure:
The refueling water and the reactor coolant contain approximately 2500 ppm boron. This concentration is sufficient to keep the core five percent Ak/k subcritical during the refueling operations.

Continuous commumcations am estaoiisned and maimamed between the main control room and the personnel engaged in fuel handling operations. One or more of the systems described in subsection 9.5.2 are used for this communication.
The refueling operation is divided into four major phases: preparation. reactor disassembly, fuel handling, and reactor assembly. A general description of a typical refueling operation through these phases is provided below.
{
9.1.4.2.2.1 Phase I - Preparation The reactor is shut down, borated, and cooled to refueling conditions (s 140*F) with a final l than 0.95 (all rods in). Following a radiation survey, the containment building is kert ess                                                                                                                 ,
enteird. At this time, the coolant level in the reactor vessel is lowered to a point slightly l
below the vessel flange. The refueling machine console is removed from storage and placed on the refueling machine and cables are connected. Then, the fuel transfer equipment and                                 ;
refueling machine are checked for operation (subsection 9.1.4.4).
9.1.4.2.2.2 Phase II - Reactor Disassembly i
Head cables are disconnected at the integrated head package (IHP) connector plate to allow removal of the vessel head. See subsection 3.9.7 for a discussion of the integrated head Olil package. The refueling cavity is prepared for flooding by checking the underwater lights,
{
tools, and fuel transfer system; closing the refueling cavity drain lines; and removing the hatch from the fuel transfer tube. With the refueling cavity prepared for flooding, the vessel head is unseated and raised above the vessel flange using the containment polar crane. See subsection 9.1.5 for requirements for the polar crane. Water from the in-containment refueling water storage tank (IRWST) is transferred into the refueling cavity by gravity and the spent fuel pool cooling system (See subsection 9.1.3). De vessel head and the water level in the refueling cavity are raised, keeping the water level just below the vessel head. When the water reaches a safe shielding depth (subsection 9.1.4.3.7), the vessel head is taken to its storage pedestal. The control rod drive shafts are disconnected. The internals lift rig is installed and the upper intemals are removed from the vessel. See subsection 9.1.5 for discussion of lifting rig requirements and design. The fuel assemblies are now free from obstructions, and the core is ready for refueling.
9.1.4.2.2.3 Phase III - Fuel Handling De refueling sequence is started with the refueling machine. The positions of partially spent assemblies are changed, and new assemblies are addeo to the core.
The general fuel handling sequence is as follows:

Similarly, increases in containment sump level signify an increase in unidentified leakage. The following sections outline the            1 methods used to collect and monitor unidentined leakage.                                          ?
5.2.5.3.1       Containment Sump Level Monitor Leakage from the reactor coolant pressure boundary and other components not otherwise identined inside the contairunent will condense and flow by gravity via the floor drains and other drains to the contailunent sump.
A leak in the primary system would result in reactor coolant flowing into the contaimnent sump. leakage is indicated by an increase in the sump level. The contaitunent sump level is monitored by two scismic Category I leves :,ensors. The level sensors are powered        .
from a safety related Class IE electrical source. These sensors remain functional when subjected to a safe shutdown earthquake in confonnance with the guidance in Regulatory Guide 1.45. The containment sump level and sump total flow sensors located on the discharge of the sump pump are part of the liquid radwaste system.
Failure of one of the level sensors will still allow the calculation of a 0.5 gpm in-leakage rate within I hour, ne data display and processing system (DDS) computes the leakage rate and the plant control system (PLS) provides an alann in the main control mom if the average change in leak rate for any given measurement period exceeds 0.5 gpm for
         ,          unidentified leakage.g Unidentified leakage is the total leakage minus the identified leakage. The leakage rate algorillun subtracts the identified leakage directed to the sump.
ne measurement interval must be long enough to pennit the measurement loop to adequately detect the increase in level that would correspond to 0.5 gpm leak rate, and yet        '
short enough to ensure that such a leak rate is detected within an hour. The measurement interval is less than er equal to I hour.
When the sump level increases to the high level setpoint, one of the sump pumps automatically starts to pump the accumulated liquid to the waste holdup tanks in the liquid radwaste system. The sump discharge flow is integrated and available for display in the control room.
Procedures to identiff the leakage source upon a change in the unidentified leakage rate           I into the sump include the following:
Check for changes in containment a:nwsphere radiation raonitor indications.
Check for changes in containment humidity, pressure, and temperature, Check makeup rate to the reactor coolant system for abnonnal increases,

Net level change in the pressurizer is indicative of system leakage. Monitoring net
'                   makeup from the chemical and volume control system and net collected leakage provides an imponant method of obtaining infonnation to establish a water inventory balance. An abnormal increase in makeup water requirements or a significant change in the water inventory balance can indicate increased system leakage.
The reactor coolant system inventory balance is a quantitative inventory or mass balance calculation.
This approach allows determination of both the type and magnitude of leakage. Steady-state operation is required to perfonn a proper inventory balance
'                   calculation. Steady-state is defined as stable reactor coolant system pressure, temperature, power level pmssurizer level, and reactor coolant drain tank and in-containment refueling water storage tank levels. The reactor coolant inventory balance is done on a periodic basis and when other indication and detection methods indicate a change in the leak rate.
The mass balance involves isolating the reactor coolant system to the extent possible and observing the change in inventory which occurs over a known time period. This involves isolating the systems connected to the reactor coolant system. System inventory is determined by observing the level in the pressurizer. Compensation is provided for changes in plant conditions which affect water density. The change in the inventory determines the total reactor coolant system leak rate. Identified leakages are monitored (using the reactor coolant drain tank) to calculate a leakage rate and by munitoring the intersystem leakage. The unidentified leakage rate is then calculated by subtracting the identified leakage rate from the total reactor coolant system leakage rate. TA e, W,,;-

Since the pressurizer inventory is controlled during normal plant operation through the level control system, the level in the pressurizer will be reasonably constant even if leakage exists. The mass contained in the pressurizer may fluctuate sufficiently, however, to have a significant effect on the calculated leak rate. The pressurizer mass calculation includes both the steam and water mass contributions.
Changes in the reactor coolant system mass inventory are a result of changes in liquid density. Liquid density is a strong function of temperature and a lesser function of pressure. A mnge of temperatures exists throughout the reactor coolant system all of which may vary over time. A simplified, but acceptably accurate, model for determining mass changes is to assume all of the reactor coolant system is at T w

Reactor coolant System and Connected Systems The inventory balance calculation is done by the data display and processing system with            1 additional input from sensors in the protection and safety monitoring system, chemical and volume control system, and liquid radwaste system. The use of components and sensors in systems required for plant operation provides confonnance with the regulatory guidance in Regulatory Guide 1.45 that leak detection should be provided following seismic events that do not require plant shutdown.

The spent fuel storage racks are purchased equipment. The purchase specification for the spent fuel storage racks will require the vendor to perform confirmatory dynamic and stress analyses. 'llie seismic and stress analyses of the spent fuel racks will consider the    j various conditions of full, partially filled, and empty fuel assembly loadings. The racks will be evaluated for the safe shutdown earthquake condition and seismic Category I             i requirements. A detailed stress analysis will be performed to verify the acceptability of       '
the critical load components and paths under normal and faulted conditions. The racks           I I
rest on the pool floor and are evaluated to determine that under loading conditions they do not impact each other nor do they impact the pool walls.
The dynamic response of the fuel rack assembly during a seismic event is the condition which produces the governing loads and stresses on the structure.

Resultant rack stresses will be evaluated against the stress limits and will be demonstrated to be acceptable. It will also be demonstrated that there is no change in rack geornetry of a magnitude which causes the criticality criterion to be violated.

Fuel Assembly Drop Accident Analysis t
in the unlikely event of dropping a fuel assembly, accidental deformation of the rack will   I be determined and evaluated in the criticality analysis to demonstrate that it does not cause the criticality criterion to be siolated. The analysis considers only the case of a dropped new fuel assembly.
I 1
For the analysis of a dropped fuel assembly, two accident conditions are postulated. The     I first accident condition conservatively assumes that the weight of a fuel assembly and       ,
handling tool (1625 pounds total) impacts the top of the fuel rack from a drop height of     '
3
                      ~ feet. Both a straight drop and an inclined drop will be included in the assessment.
Calculations will be performed which demonstrate that the impact energy is absorbed by the dropped fuel assembly, the rack cells, and the rack base plate assembly.
The second accident condition assumes that the dropped assembly and tool                      I (1625 pounds) falls straight through an empty cell and impacts the rack base plate from a drop height of 3 feet above the top of the rack. An analysis will be performed that will demonstrate the impact energy is absorbed by the fuel assembly and the rack base plate. The resulting rack deformations will be evaluated in the criticality analysis to       i demonstrate that the criticality criteria are not violated.
D. Failure of the Fuel Handling Jib Crane The fuel handling jib crane is a seismic Category 11 component. The crane and the attachment to the building structure is evaluated to show that the crane does not fall into the new fuel storage pit during a seismic event.
E. Internally Generated Missiles The fuel handling area does not contain any credible sources of internally generr.ted missiles.
Stress analyses will be performed by the vendor using loads developed by the dyna analysis. Stresses will be calculated at critical sections of the rack and com            d to tance criteria referenced in ASME Section 111, Division 1. Artic!     '
9.1.1.3     Safety Evaluation The rack, being a seismic Category I structure, is designed to withstand normal and postulated dead loads, live loads, loads resulting from thermal effects, and loads caused by the safe
                >hutdown earthquake event.
The design of the rack is such that Kerr remains less than or equal to 0.95 with new fuel of the maximum design basis enrichment. For a postulated accident condition of flooding of the new fuel storage area with unborated water, Kerr does not exceed 0.98.

==Dear Mr. Quay:==

Enclosed are three copies of the Westinghouse responses to open items on AP600 topics. Responses.                             !
to five RAls are included in this transmittal. RAIs 410.262 Revision 1 and 471.23 Revision I respond -                          l to questions on the SSAR. RAI 440.567 responds to a question on the PRHR heat exchanger modeling. AP600 testing is addressed in RAI 440.578 and PRHR actuation is in 480.224.
The NRC technical staff should review these responses as a part of their review of the AP600 design.
These respenses close, from a Westinghouse perspective, the addressed questions. The NRC should                                 ,
inform Westinghouse of the status to be designated in the "NRC Status" column of the OIT$.                                      !

I Question 410.262 Revision 1
                                                                                                                                 )
The SSAR states that the central chilled water system (VWS) is designed as a nonseismic system and is classified         j as Class D in Table 3.2 3 of the SSAR. However, the VWS is required to be functional during full power and shutdown operation to supply chilled water to meet the cooling load demand of the plant 'HVAC system. To meet C-2 of RG 1.29, the system should be designed as seismic Category II. Provide the reason why the VWS should be classified as nonseismic category.

===Response===
The chilled water system is not required to support the function of safety related equipment. The main control room habitability control system includes passive cooling provisions for equipment required for safe shutdown. SSAR Section 9.2.7.3 indicates that portions of the system which are located in safety-related areas are designed such that a failure in the system will not unacceptably impact the operation of safety-related components. In general, the system is not located where failure could impact equipment required for safe shutdown. The obvious exception is in containment. From the containment penetration to the anchor at the peripheral support structure, chilled water system piping is designed as seismic Category II. Although not designed for seismic from the anchor on, the piping is supported by the peripheral support structure which is a seismic structure. This will prevent a failure of the chilled water system from adversely impacting the operation of safety-related SSCs.

I ne new fuel storage facility is located within the seismic Category I auxiliary building fuel          l handling area. The facility is protected from the effects of natural phenomena such as                 I earthquakes, wind, tornados, floods, and external missiles by the extemal walls of the auxiliary building. See Section 3.5 for additional discussion on protection from missiles. The facility is designed to maintain its structural integrity following a safe shutdown earthquake and to perform its intended function following a postulated event such as fire, internal missiles, or pipe break. The walls surrounding the fuel handling area and new fuel storage pit protect the fuel from missiles generated inside the auxiliary building. De fuel handling area does not contain a credible source of missiles. Refer to subsection 1.2.6 for a discussion of the auxiliary building. Refer to Section 3.8 for a discussion of the structural design of the new fuel storage area. Refer to subsection 3.5.1 for a discussion of missile sources and protection.
The dry, unlined, approximately 15.5-feet deep reinforced concrete pit is designed to provide support for the new fuel storage rack. The rack is supported by the pit floor and laterally supported as required at the rack top grid structure by the pit wall structures. He walls of the new fuel pit are seismic Category I. De new fuel pit is normally covered to prevent foreign objects from entering the new fuel storage rack. Since the only crane that can access I                       the new fuel pit does have the capacity to lift heavy objects, as defined in subsection 9.1.5, the new fuel pit cover is not designed to protect the fuel assemblies from the effects of dropped heavy objects. Figures 1.2-7 through 1.2-10 show the relationship between the new fuel storage facility and other features of the fuel handling area.                                 I l                       The new fuel storage pit is drained by gravity drains that are part of the radioactive waste I                       drain system (subsection 9.3.5), draining to the waste holdup tanks which are part of the liquid I                       radwaste system (Section 11.2). These drains preclude flooding of the pit by an accidental release of water.                                                                         __
onseismic equipment in the vicinity of the new fuel storage racks is evaluated to confirm            i that its failure could not result in an increase of Kerr beyond the maximum allowable Kerr.
Refer to subsection 3.7.3.13 for a discussion of the nonseismic equipment evaluation.
A jib crane is used to load new fuel assemblies into the new fuel rack and transfer new fuel assemblies from the new fuel pit into the spent fuel pool. The capacity of the jib crane is limited to 2000 lbs. He new fuel pit is not accessed by the fuel handling machine or by the cask handling crane. His precludes the movement ofloads greater than fuel components over stored new fuel assemblies.
Dunng fuel handling operations, a ventilation system removes gaseous radioactivity from the atmosphere above the new fuel pit. Refer to subsection 9.4.3 for a discussion of the fuel handling area HVAC system and Section 11.5 for process radiation monitoring. Security for the new fuel assemblies is described 'a Section 13.6.

A monitoring program will be implemented by the Combined License holder at the first AP600 to record temperature distributions and thermal displacements of the surge line piping, as well as peninent plant parameters such as pressurizer temperature and level, hot a       leg temperature, and reactor coolant pump status. Monitoring will be performed during hot functional testing and during the Grst fuel cycle. The resulting monitoring data will be evaluated to show that it is within the bounds of the analytical temperature distributions and displacements.

This section presents information to demonstrate that the mechanical and electrical portions of the engineered safety features, the reactor protection systems, and selected portions of the :
post-accident monitoring system are capable of performing their designated functions while exposed to applicable normal, abnormal, test, accident, and post-accident environmental         I l             conditions. The information presented includes identification of the equipment required to be environmentally qualified equip =a: and, for each item of equipment, the designated             l functional requirements, definition of the applicable environmental parameters, and documentation of the qualification process employed to demonstrate the required environmental capability. The seismic qualification of mechanical and electrical equipment I             is presented in Section 3.10. The ponions of post-accident monitoring equipment required to be environmentally qualified are identified in Table 7.5-1.
3.11.1      Equipment Identification and Environmental Conditions 3.11.1.1    Equipment Identification I             A complete list of environmentally qualified electrical and mechanical equipment that is essential to emergency reactor shutdown, containment isolation, reactor core cooling, or containment and reactor heat removal, or that is otherwise essential in preventing significant release of radioactive material to the environment, is provided in Table 3.11-1. A list of environmentally qualified electrical and mechanical equipment and a summary of electrical and mechanical equipment qualification results are maintained as part of the equipment qualification file. The Combined License applicant is responsible for verification that the equipment qualification file is maintained during the equipment selection and procurement phase.
3.11.1.2    Definition of Environmental Conditions Appendix 3D identifies applicable normal, abnormal, and design basis accident environmental conditions conforming to General Design Criterion 4. These environmental conditions are associated with various plant areas by an environmental zone, as noted in Table 3D.5-1 and Table 3.11-1.
For mild environments, the area conditions do not change as the result of an accident. There are no degrading environmental effects that lead to common mode failure of the equipment.
The qualification of mechanical and electrical equipment located in a mild environment is demonstrated by conducting the plant surveillance activities carried out during the operational phase of the plant.
The environmental conditions identified in Appendix 3D are defined as follows.

: 3. Desig; of Structures, Components, Equipment and Systems Normal operating environmental conditions are defined as those conditions existing during routine plant operations for which the equipment is expected to be available on a continuous basis to perform required functions.
Abnormal environmental conditions are those plant conditions for which the equipment is designed to operate for a period of time without accelerating normal periodic tests, inspections, and maintenance schedules for that equipment. The maximum and minimum conditions identified as the abnormal condition are based on the design limits for the affected areas.
Design basis accident (DBA) and post-design basis accident conditions are those plant conditions resulting from various postulated equipment and piping failures during which the I            i&ntined equipment identified in Table 3.11 must operate without impairment of the function.
The design basis accident and post-design basis accident conditions are discussed in Appendix I            3D. Qualifica::c; is-bard en ec:npenen: :peciE =!cula:icn; th= necczay Compatibility of equipment with the specified environmental conditions is achieved by the following.
Systems and components required to mitigate the consequences of a design basis accident or to perform safe shutdown operation are qualified to remain functional after exposure to the environmental conditions in Table 3D.5-5.
Environmentally qualified equipment exposed to a harsh environment has a qualified life goal of 60 years. Demonstration of qualified life by test or test and analysis is provided by I            equipn:=: ;uppli= :c the Combined License applicant, to address applicable aging effects.
For critical components susceptible to aging, a qualified life is established that includes the effects of the total integrated radiation dose experienced at their respective locations within the plant. When a 60-year qualified life is not achievable, a shorter qualified life is established, and a replacement program is implemented.
For equipment located in a mild environtnent, a design life goal is established by using known significant aging mechanisms and reliability data.
Equipment qualification takes into account the most severe environmental conditions resulting from the design basis high-energy line break. Included in these conditions are the short-term peak transient temperature following a main steamline break (MSLB) and a radiation exposure     ,
I and temperature due -to a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) within the reactor containment.
Postulated high-energy line failures as defined in subsection 3.6.2.1.2 are assumed in areas where high-energy lines greater than 1 inch are routed. Essential equipment is protected        j against the effects of jet impingement (subsection 3.6.2.4.1) and evaluated for spray effects if required (subsection 3.6.2.7).

: 3. Design of Structures, Compone:ts, Eq:1pme;t and Systems Active mechanical equipment is qualified for operability as discussed in subsection 3.9.3 and Section 3.10. This operability program, combined with the qualification of the electrical appurtenances (valve operators, solenoids, limit switches), demonstrates qualification under required environmental conditions. Active mechanical equipment is defined as equipment that performs a mechanical motion as pan of its safety-related function.
Nonactive mechanical equipment whose only safety function is structural integrity is designed according to ASME Code guidelines. The accident and post-accident environmental effects are considered in the design of such stmetural components as pump casings and valve bodies.
The environmental qualification program is restricted to evaluating the design of critical nonmetallic subcomponents of active devices in a harsh environment, where failure results in loss of the active component.
3.11.1.3    Equipment Operability Times For the AP600 Class 1E electrical and active mechanical equipment, post-accident operability times are shown in Table 3D.4-2 in Appendix 3D.
Specific information for each device qualified as part of the IEEE 323-1974 qualification program is contained in the appropriate equipment qualification data package.
The active mechanical component is qualified for operability as discussed in Section 3.10, using test, analysis, or a combination of tests and analyses. This operability program, combined with the qualification of the electrical appurtenances (for example, valve operators) discussed in the appropriate equipment qualification data packages, demonstrates qualification.

The AP600 approach for environmental qualification of Class IE equipment is outlined m Appendix 3D. This methodology is developed based on the guidelines provided in                    ,
IEEE 323-1974 (Reference 1), and 344-1987 (Reference 2).
Qualification for equipment in a harsh environment is based on type testing or testing and analysis. Analysis may be used to determine significant aging mechanisms in mild                  )
environment applications. Type testing includes thermal and mechanical aging, radiation, and       I exposure to extremes of environmental, seismic, and vibration effects. Type testing is done with representative samples of the production line equipment according to the sequence I

: 3. Design of Structures, Components, Eq:1pmert and Systems 3.11.3       Loss of Ventilation The abnormal environmental conditions shown on Tables 3D.5-3 and 3D.5-4 reflect anticipated maximum conditions based on loss of normal ventilation systems.
Normal containment heat removal is provided by the nonsafety-related containment air recirculation cooling system. If this system is out of service for an extended period of time, the passive containment cooling system may be initiated to maintain the temperature and pressure below the limits notel Environmentally qualified equipment located in containment performs its functions under these conditions until the normal containment cooling system is
.               restored.
Equipment areas outside containment and outside the main control room are maintained at normal environmental conditions by nonsafety-related HVAC systems. If these systems are disabled. the heat generated by this equipment is absorbed by the surrounding concrete with an ambient temperature rise that does not exceed the abnormal condition. Normal HVAC is restored within 72 hours or temporary ventilation is provided as discussed in Section 6.4.
If the normal nonsafety-related main control room HVAC is lost, the heat generated by equipment and people is absorbed by the surrounding concrete. Normal heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning is restored within 72 hours or temporary ventilation is provided as discussed in Section 6.4.
3.11.4      Estimated Radiation and Chemical Environment The plant-specific estimates of the radiation dose incurred by equipment during normal operation is shown in Table 3D.5-2 and the estimated doses following a loss-of-cociant accident are defined in Table 3D.5-5.                                                          j The identified equipment is qualified to perform functions in the radiation environments present during normal and design basis accident conditions. The normal operational exposure is based upon design source terms presented in Chapter 11 and subsection 12.2.1. The           ;
equipment and shielding configurations are presented in Section 12.3. Post-accident            '
monitoring, reactor trip and engineered safety features system and component radiation         l exposures are dependent on the location of the equipment in the plant. Source terms and other  l accident parameters are presented in subsection 12.2.1 and Chapter 15.
                'Ihe maximum combined integrated radiation dose inside containment is based on the effects     l of the normally expected radiation environment (gamma) over the equipment's installed life plus that associated with the most severe design basis event (gamma and beta) during or following which the equipment is required to remain functional.
The chemical environment following a loss of coolant accident is primarily based on the chemistry of the reactor coolant system fluid since there is no caustic containment spray.
Sump pH adjustments are considered for cenain qualification tests. This is discussed further in Appendix 3D.

l APPENDIX 3D Methodology for Qualifying AP600 Safety Related Electrical and Mechanical Equipment                           l Safety-telated electrical equipment is tested under the environmental conditions expected to occur in the event of a design basis event. This testing provides a high degree of confidence     I in the safety-related system performance under the limiting environmental conditions.
Qualification criteria were revised by IEEE 323-1974 (Reference 1) and by Regulatory Guide 1.89, which endorses this IEEE standard. The concept of aging was highlighted in IEEE 323-1974, and interpretation of the scope of aging and implementation methods were subsequently developed.10CFR 50.49 provides the NRC requirements for qualification of equipment located in potentially harsh environments. Therefore, the guidance provided by IEEE 323-1974 is the evolutienary root of requirements, recommended methods, and quali6 cation procedures described in this appendix.
Specific treatment of seismic qualification, pan of the qualification test sequence recommended in IEEE 323-1974, is addressed in IEEE 344-1987 (Reference 2). This appendix bases technical guidance, recommendations, and requirements for seismic qualification on IEEE 344-1987.
The AP600 Equipment Qualification methodology addresses the expanded scope of IEEE 627-1980 (Reference 3), which encompasses the quali6 cation of Class 1E electrical and safety-related mechanical equipment. IEEE 627 generalizes the principles and technical guidance of IEEE 323 and 344. Compliance with the IEEE 323-1974 and 344-1987 is the specinc means of compliance with the intent of IEEE 627-1980 for safety-related electrical and mechanical equipment.
Safety-related electrical and mechanical equipment is typically quali6ed using analysis, testing, or a combination of these methods. The specific method or methods used depend on the safety-related function of the equipment type to be qualified. Safety-related mechanical equipment, such as tanks and valves, is typically qualified by analysis, with supplementary       l functional testing when functional operability is demonstrated only through testing, as is the    !
I             case for active valves. Either tTesting or testing combined with analysis is the preferre?        l I             method used for environmental and seismic quali6 cation of safety-related (Class 1E) electrical   I equipment.
The technical discussions of this appendix follow the format headings of the equipment qualification data packages (EQDPs) to be issued as specific qualification program                ;
documentation. This formatting (see Section 3D.7) permits easy cross-reference between the methodology defined in this report and the detailed plans contained in the equipment              '
qualification data packages. Attachment A of this appendix is the format used for the equipment qualification data package.

: 3. Design of Structures, Components, Equipment, and Systems 3D.4.4     Test Sequence Where the test sequence deviates from that recommended by IEEE 323-1974, the deviation is justified. The test sequence employed for a given hardware item is specified in the equipment qualification data package Sections 2.1 and 3.6 (see Attachment A for example).
I            Note that for this reference and subsequence references to Attachment A the information in l            Attachment A will be completed by the Combined License applicant. Clarifications to the IEEE 323-1974 recommended test sequence are discussed in the following:
: 1. Burn-In Test For electronic equipment, a burn-in test is completed, before operational testing of the equipment, to eliminate infant failures. The test consists of energizing the equipment for a minimum of 50 hours at nominal voltage and frequency under ambient temperature conditions. Any malfunction observed during these tests are repaired, and the 50-hour burn-in test is repeated for the repaired portion of the equipment.
: 2. Performance Extremes Test For equipment where seismic testing has previously been completed employing the recommended methods ofIEEE 344-1987, seismic testing is not repeated. Testing of the equipment to demonstrate qualification at performance extremes is separately performed as permitted by IEEE 323-1974, subsection 6.3.2(3). Additional discussion is provided        I in subsection 3D.6.5.1.
: 3. Aging Simulation and Testing                                                                 j For equipment located in a mild environment, aging is addressed as described in subsections 3D.6.3,3D.6.4, and Attachment B. If there are no known aging mechanisms that significantly degrades the equipment during its service life, it is acceptable to perform seismic testing of unaged equipment. Separate testing or analysis (or both) is provided to demonstrate that the aging of components is not significant during the projected service or qualified life of the equipment.
: 4. Synergistic Effects An imponant consideration in the aging of equipment for harsh environment service is the possible existence of synergistic effects when multiple stress environments are applied simultaneously. This potential is addressed by conservatism inherent in the determination and use of the worst-case aging sequence and conservative accelerated aging parameters.
The combination of effects from pressure, temperatures, humidity, and chemistry are addressed by the high-energy line break (HELB) tests. Since the test item is not exposed to radiation during this test, the effects of this parameter are conservatively addressed by Revision: 12 owmmunm.onm April 30,1997                                        3 D-8                             [ W85tingh0ljS8

3D.4.8.4     Seismic Conditions Required response spectra included in Subsection 3.7.2 or other AP600 program specifications are the conditions to be enveloped. No amplitude margin is added to these conditions. Peak broadening is also discussed in Subsection 3.7.2. Seismic qualification by analysis addresses margin requirements by other methods of conservatism while using the same sets of requirements - no amplitude margin is included. For qualification tests, the test facility increases the amplitude of seismic profiles by 10 percent to incorporate margin.
For most applications, considerable margin exists with respect to the acceleration levels employed and the width of the response spectra.             Funher details are addressed in Attachment E.
3D.4.8.5     High Energy Line Break Conditions The envelopes specified for high-energy line breaks, in Figures 3D.5-2 and 3D.5-3, are selected to encompass the transients resulting from a spectra of loss of coolant accidents and high-energy line break sizes and locations, and various nodes in the containment. As a consequence, these design envelopes already contain significant margin with respect to any transient corresponding to a single break.
The AP600 equipment qualification methodology requires that the qualification envelopes be derived with a margin of 15 F and 10 psi with respect to the design envelopes in i              Figures 3D.5-2 and 3D.5-3 = :ha: hc i-ita:ini; : an=n: be repca:cd The margin on dose is identified by comparing the location specific dose requirements and the AP600 equipment qualification parameters.
The alkalinity of the chemistry is increased by 10 percent with respect to the peak value determined for the AP600 containment sump conditions.
3D.4.9       Treatment of Failures The primary purpose of equipment qualification is to reduce the potential for common mode failures due to anticipated environmental and seismic conditions. The redundancy, diversity, and periodic testing of nuclear power plant safety-related equipment are designed to accommodate random failures of individual components.
Where an adequate test sample is available, the failure of one component or device together with a successful test of two identical components or devices indicates a random failure mechanism, subject to an investigation concluding that the observed failure is not common mode. Where insufficient test samples prevent such a conclusion, any failures are investigated l

3D.4,10.1.3 Material Link This documentation certifies that the materials used in the equipment are represented in a materials aging analysis, such as that described in Attachment B, (Subprogram B). This link applies only to equipment whose equipment qualification data package references the materials aging analysis and reflects a comparison of the as-built drawings, baseline design document, or other documentation of the plant specific equipment to the materials aging analysis listing.
3D.4.10.2 Similarity Where differences exist between items of equipment, analysis may be employed to demonstrate that the test results obtained for one piece of equipment are applicable to a similar piece of equipment. Documentation of this analysis conforms with guidelines in IEEE 323 and 627, and Subsection 3D.6.2.1 and Section 3D.7 of this appendix.
3D.5         Design Specifications The conditions and parameters considered in the environmental and seismic qualification of AP600 safety-related equipment are separated into three categories: normal, abnormal, and design basis event. Normal conditions are those sets and ranges of plant conditions that are expected to occur regularly and for which plant equipment is expected to perform its safety-related function, as required, on a continuous, steady-state basis. Abnormal conditions refer to the extreme ranges of normal plant conditions for which the equipment is designed to operate for a period of time without any special calibration or maintenance effort. Design basis event conditions refers to environmental parameters to which the equipment may be I              subjected without impairment of its defined operating characteristics for those conditions.

(these are cited in Section 1.7 of each equipment qualification data package; See Attachment A.)
The service conditions simulated by the test plan are identified in equipment qualification data package Section 3.7. (See Subsection 3D.7.4.6 and .) In general, the parameters employed are selected to be equal to (normal and abnormal) or have margin (design basis event and post-design basis event) with respect to the specified service conditions of equipment               l qualification data package, Section 1.7, as recommended by IEEE 323. These conditions are             l conservatively derived to allow for possible alternative locations of equipment within the            i plant.

WESTINGHOUSE RESPONSES TO NRC QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS                                      15 I i
: 29)  Draft TS 3.7.8, Secondary Coolant Leakage                                               l The Plant Systems Branch has reviewed Westinghouse's letter, dated July 26, 1996, regarding "AP600 LBB QUESTIONS" and found the position described in the letter regarding steamline leakage control unacceptable. In the letter, Westinghouse revised its previous response to Q410.145 withdrawing its TS commitment for steamline leakage detection without withdrawing LBB for the              l steamline application. The staff found that the alternative method proposed by Westinghouse, using administrative procedures, did not provide suilicient measures to justify LBB application for steamlines. By {{letter dated|date=September 5, 1996|text=letter dated September 5, 1996}}, the staffindicated to Westinghouse that application of LBB to the steamlines is not acceptable without a TS for mainsteam leakage detection because the technology of LBB relies on the detection ofleaks prior to pipe breaks.
Westinghouse was requested to provide a proper TS for steamline leakage detection.
In response, Westinghouse provided informal draft TS 3.7.8, Secondary Coolant
* Leakage on October 24,1996. The NRC staff (SPLB, TSB, and ECGB) art reviewing it. A telecon between Westinghouse and the stafTwas held on November 5,1996. The staff asked justification from Westinghouse as related to (1) the adequacy and margin of 5.0 gpm as the leakage limit and (2) the leakage reducing time of 8 hours before entering into Action B.1.

===Response===
(1) The leakage. limit has been conservative'v selected to correspond to a leakage crack size that is detectable, structurally stable even under seismic loads, and permits sufficient time for operator corrective action to preclude pipe rupture.
The leakage limit (5.0 gpm)is 10 times the minimum leak dctection capability of the instrumentation. This large detection capability margin ensures that the leaks can be detected as assumed in the LBB analysis.
The acceptability of the 5.0 gpm leakage limit is established by doubling the size of a 5.0 gpm leakage crack and verifying that the 2X crack is structurally stable and thus not liable to increase in size. Therefore, cracks twice as big as those allowed by the 5.0 gpm limit are stable and will not increase in size.
(2) The Required Action A.18 hour Completion Time was selected based on the stability ofleakage cracks twice as long as those corresponding to the 5.0 gpm limit. If the leakage can be restored to within the 5.0 gpm limit within 8 hours, there is no technical basis for shutting the plant down to MODE 4 with RNS cooling, since the crack will not increase in size in any amount of time. If the leakage can not be restored to within the limit within 8 hours, it is considered   ;
that some difficulty has been encountered in attempting to control the leak and    l that shutdown should be initiated so that repairs may be pursued.
                                                                            ,~.                  l

                                                                            #^*+^r liner inside containment is required to limit system operation in the presence of excessive leakage. Leakage is limited to an amount which would not compromise safety consistent with the Leak-Before-Break (LBB) analysis discussed in Chapter 3 of the AP600 SSAR (Ref. 1). This leakage limit ensures appropriate action can be taken before the integrity of the lines is impaired.
LBB is an argument which allows elimination of design for dynamic load effects of postulated pipe breaks. The fundamental premise of LBB is that the materials used in nuclear plant piping are strong enough that even a large throughwall crack leaking well in excess of rates detectable by present leak detection systems would remain stable, and would not result in a double-ended guillotine break under maximum loading conditions. The benefit of LBB is the elimination of pipe whip restraints, jet impingement effects, subcompartment pressurization, and internal system blowdown loads.
As described in Section 3.6 of the AP600 SSAR (Ref.1), LBB has been applied to the main steam line - " --" '- ""--          '
Here pipe runs inside containment. Hence, the potential safety significance of secondary side leaks inside containment requires detection and monitoring of leakage inside containment. This LCO protects the main steam lines and main feedwater lines inside containment against degradation, and helps assure that serious leaks will not develop. The consequences of violating this LC0 include the possibility of further degradation of the main steam lines, which may lead to pipe break.
APPLICABLE              The safety significance of plant leakage inside containment SAFETY ANALYSES         varies depending on its source, rate, and duration.
Therefore, detection and monitoring of plant leakage inside containment are necessary. This is accomplished via the instrumentation required by LCO 3.4.10. "RCS Leakage Detection Instrumentation," and the RCS water inventory balance (SR 3.4.8.1). Subtracting RCS leakage as well as (continued) b AP600                                    B 3.7-34 m A3349w.wpf 1>110700 d

This allows the operators to take corrective action should leakage occur which is detrimental to the safety of the facility and/or the public.
Although the main steam line and main f                                  ter line leakage limit is not required by any-of-tgriteria 4 the NRC Policy Statementi this specification nas been included in Technical Specifications in accordance with NRC direction (Ref. 2).
LC0                     Main steam line or =ir, feedwater-1-ine leakage is defined as leakage inside containment in any portion of the two (2) 28" I.D. main steam line pipe walls or two (2) 16" I.D. main feedwater line pipe walls. Up toEO,$"gpm of leakage is allowable because it is within the capability of the makeup system and is wS4 below the leak rate for LBB analyzed cases of a main steam line er-ma4n=fe@=+ar 'ine crack twice as long as a crack leaking at ten (10) times the detectable leak rate under normal operating load conditions.
Violation of this LC0 could result in continued degradation of the main steam or main feedwater lines.
APPLICABILITY           Because of elevated main steam system temperatures and pressures, the potential for main steam line er =in Jeemona     ime    leakage is greatest in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4.
In MODES 5 and 6, a main steam line nr ==ia ft:dwater lir4 leakage limit is not provided because the main steam system pressure is far lower, resulting in lower stresses and a reduced potential for leakage. In addition, the steam generators are not the primary method of RCS heat removal in MODES 5 and 6.

i With main steam line o.t mam feeawater line leakage in                     i excess of the LC0 limit, the unit must be brought to lower                 l pressure conditions to reduce the severity of the leakage                  1 and its potential consequences.

also reduces the factors which tend to degrade the main ^
steam lines. The Completion Time off hours f      to reach MODE 3        i from full power without challenging plant systems is reasonable based on operating experience. Similarly, the Completion Time of 48 hours to reach MODE 5 without challenging plant systems is also reasonable based on 1
operating experience. In MODE 5, the pressure stresses acting on the main steam cr n ir, feedwater lines are much                 i lower, and further deterioration of the main steam or main                 :

li                             Mr. Quay opened the meeting stating that the progress for Westinghouse to complete its documentation and for the staff review has been slower than expected. The staff expressed a concern regarding an apparent lack of quality assurance review of the Westinghouse WG0THIC and PCS reports by Westinghouse prior to their submittal. Approximately 12 examples were discussed demonstrating the staff's concerns. F in house responded that the issue would be investigated. Additionally, k Tl house informed the staff that Mr.
Gresham had been assigned as a full-time manager of the MGOTHIC and PCs review and Mr. Bruce Ra*1g was assigned as a licenr%g engineer.

Proposed SSAR Sub-Section 15.0.?
15.0.? Loss of Offsite ac Power i
As required in GDC 17 of 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix A, anticipated operational occurrences and                  j postulated accidents are analyzed assuming a loss of offsite ac power. The loss of offsite power is n .       j considered as a single failure and the analysis is performed without changing the event category. In           i the analyses, the loss of offsite ac power is considered to be a potential consequence of the event.
A loss of offsite ac power will be considered a consequence of an event due to disruption of the grid         !
following a turbine trip during the event. Event analyses which do not result in a possible consequential disruption of offsite ac power do not assume offsite power is lost.
For those events where offsite ac power is lost, an appropriate time delay between turbine trip and the postulated loss of offsite ac power is assumed in the analyses. A time delay of 3 seconds is used,           i This time delay is based on the inherent stability of the offsite power grid as discussed in Section 8.2.
Following the time delay, the effect of the loss of offsite ac power on plant auxiliary equipment such       ,
as reactor coolant pumps, main feedwater pumps, condenser, startup feedwater pumps and RCCA's is             l considered in the analyses.
I The AP600 PMS and passive safeguards systems are not dependent on offsite power or on any backup diesel generators. Following a loss of ac power, the PMS and passive safeguards will be able to              ;
perform the related safety function and there wil! be no additional time delays for these functions to be completed.

The special monitoring system consists of specialized subsystems that interface with the instrumentation and control architecture to provide; diagnostic and long term monitoring functions.
4 He special monitoring system includes the metal impact monitoring system. The metal impact monitoring system detects the presence of metallic debris in the reactor coolant system
              -                 when the debris impacts against the intemal pans of the reactor coolant system. He metal impact monitoring system includes digital circuit boards, controls, indicators, power supplies I
and remotely located sensors and related signal processing devices. The sensors and their related signal processing devices are mounted in pairs to maintain the impact monitoring I
function if a sensor fails in service. De metal impact monitoring system is desenbed in subsection 4.4.6.4.
Plant Control System he plant control system provides the functions necessary for normal operation of the plant from cold shutdown through full power. He plant control system controls nonsafety related components 'in the plant that are operated from the main control room or remote' shutdown workstation.
De plant control system contains nonsafety related control and instrumentation equipment to change reactor power, control pressurizer pressure and level, control feedwater flow, and perform other plant functions associated with power generation.

1 The I/O cabinets are microprocessor based, safety-related modular data gathering units. The 1/O cabinet can receive inputs from process sensors and safety related digital systems. He 1/O cabinet consolidates the input data, performs conversions to process units, and formats the    I l
data for the data link transmission to the qualified data processing cabinets.
7.1.2.7 Main Control Room and Remote Shutdown Workstation Multiplexers ne protection and safety monitoring system contains eight multiplexers. One main control           !
room multiplexer and one remote shutdown workstation multiplexer is associated with each of the four safety divisions. Each multiplexer consists of two redundant halves or subsystems.
I The multiplexers provide for transmission of component level manual actuation signals from the main control room or remote shutdown workstation to the protection logic cabinets. The multiplexers also provide for transmission of component status information from the protection logic cabinet to the main control room and remote shutdown workstation.
1 The multiplexers communicate with soft control devices or operator interface modules in the main control room or the remote shutdown workstation over redundant fiber-optic data links.
Subsection 7.1.3.4 provides additional discussion of the operation of the soft control devices.
Vanous " handshaking" signals are implemented for requests and responses between the soft controls and the multiplexers to verify the receipt and the validity of the messages. -

The protection and safety monitoring system monitors key variables related to equipment mechanical limitations, and variables directly affecting the heat transfer capability of the reactor. Some limits, such as the overtemperature AT serpoint, are calculated in the integrated protection cabinets from other parameters because direct rneasurement of the variable is not possible. His subsection provides a description of the sensors which monitor the vanables for the protection and safety monitoring system. For convenience the discussions are grouped mto the following three categories:
Process sensors Nuclear instrumentation detectors Status inputs from field equipment I
The inputs described are those required to generate the initiation signals for the protective I
functions. The use of each parameter is discussed in the sections that deal with each I
protective function. For example, reactor trip is discussed in Section 7.2 and engineered safety features actuation is desenbed in Section 7.3.
7.1.2.8.1   Process Sensors The process sensors are devices which measure temperature, pressure, fluid flow, arid fluid I
level. Process instrumentation excludes nuclear and radiation measurements.

 '                         systems during shutdown. The plant control system accomplishes these functions through use of the folloving:
* Rod control
* Pressurizer pressure and level control
* Steam generator water level control Steam dump (turbine bypass) control
* Rapid power reduction The plant control system provides automatic regulation of reactor and other key system parameters in response to changes in operating limits (load changes). The plant control           i system acts to maximize margins to plant safety limits and maximize the plant transient           i performance. The plant control system also provides the capability for manual control of          l plant systems and equipment. Raduad=at control logic is used in some applications to increase single failure tolerance.
The plant control system includes the equipment from the process sensor input circuitry through to the modulating and nonmodulating control outputs as well as the digital signals to other plant systems.

Automatic Actuadon Function The automatic actuation signals provided by the diverse actuation system are generated in a functionally diverse manner from the protection system actuation signals. The common-mode failure of sensors of a similar design is also considered in the selection of these functions.
The automatic actuation function is accomplished by redundant microprocessor based subsystems. Input signals are received from the sensors by an input signal conditioning block, which consists of one or more electronic modules. This block converts the signals to standardized levels, provides a barrier against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, and presents the resulting signal to the input signal conversion block. The conversion block continuously performs analog to digital signal conversions and stores the value for use by the signal processing block.
i j
The signal processing block polls the various inputs under the control of a software-based algorithm, evaluates the input signals against stored serpoints, executes the programmed logic when thresholds are exceeded, and issues actuation commands.
* The resulting output signals are passed to the output signal conversion block, whose function           l is to convert microprocessor logic states to parallel, low-level de signals. These signals are passed to the output signal conditioning block. This block provides high level signals capable of switching the traditional power plant loads, such as breakers and motor controls.* lt also a               provides a barrier against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference.
4 Diversity is achieved by the use of a different architecture, different hardware implementations        1 and different software from that of the protection and safety monitoring system.
The diverse design uses standard input modules designed for use with small industrial computer systems. It also uses a microprocessor board different from those used in the

* A structure, system or component is classified as Class D when it directly acts to prevent unnecessary actuation of the passive safety systems. Structures, systems and components which support those which directly act to prevent the actuation of passive safety systems are also Class D. The inclusion of these nonsafety-related structures, systems, and components in Class D recognizes that these systems provide an important first level of defense that helps to reduce the calculated probabilistic risk assessment core melt frequency. These structures, systems, and components are normally used to support plant cooldown and depressurization and to maintain shutdown conditions during maintenance and refueling outages.
For Class D structures, systems, and components considered to be risk significant as defined in the reliability assurance plan (see Section 16.2). Provisions are made to check for operability, including appropriate testing and inspection, and to repair out-of-service stmettites, systems, and components. These provisions are documented and administered in the plant reliability assurance plan and operating and maintenance procedures.
Some Class D ctructures, systems, and components are assumed to function in a severe containment environment. The design requirements for these components include operation in such an environment. An evaluation is done to confirm that the structure, system, or component can be expected to function in such an environment.
Standard industrial quality assurance standards are applied to Class D structures, systems, and components to provide appropriate integrity and function although 10 CFR 50, Appendix B and 10 CFR 21 do not apply.10 CFR 50, Appendix B and 10 CFR 21 do apply to Class D structures, systems, and components that are seismic Category I. These industrial quality assurance standards are consistent with the guidelines for NRC Quality Group D. The industry standards used for Class D structures, systems and components are widely used industry standards. Typicalindustrial standards used for Class D systems and components are provided as follows:
* Pressure vessels - ASME Code, Section VIII
* Piping - ANSI B 31.1. Power Piping, (Reference 5)

Cc: haagcl@ wesmail.com, meintyba@ wesmail.com Ted, Please pass this to Bill Huffman.
Bill, My notes from the 4/4 RTNSS meeting indicate that the following three things will happen:
: 1. Westinghouse will examine the material discussed to see how these ideas cocid be used to provide additional margin between the focused PRA and the baseline PRA such that the thermal hydraulic uncertainty effort can be cased. We will also look at what could be done to provide additional margin for long term cooling.
: 2. The NRC will determine how their position of adding additional regulatory oversight to a nonsafety system would answer their questions that have been asked on thermal hydraulic uncertainty. This will include                          -
determining what the concept of margin merns in long term cooling (the regulatory requirement of 10 CFR 50.46(b)(5) is that the " calculated core temperature shall be maintained at an accepetably low value and decay heat shall be             removed for the extended long period of time .." so is it feet of water over the top of the core?? If the core is covered, decay heat must be being        removed)
: 3. 'Ihe NRC staff will review the regulatory oversight proposed by                          ,;
Westinghouse in WCAP 13856, September 1993 to determine ifit is                           '
appropriate, given the RTNSS mission of the system. Since the post-72 hour issue is a subset of the RTNSS issue, this review should include the proposed additional regulatory oversight included in our {{letter dated|date=March 14, 1997|text=March 14,1997 letter}} on this subject.
If you disagree with these items, please let me know. We need to be ready                     1 to say something on April 18.
Cindy and I are talking about how to respond to our item and will provide you'with a date by 4/11.

DSER CN 21.6.2.4-4 Westinghouse needs to venfy that heat link methodology for transition ooiling if, not used in AP600 NOTRUMP calculations.

===Response===
Based upon the wording of this question and the discussion on page 21123 of Reference 1, there may be a misunderstanding of the implementation and/or application of the revised colution scheme for transition boiling in the noncritical heatlink calculations of NOTRUMP for AP600. The followir:g clarification is provided.
The Westinghouse transition boiling correlation is used in two separate models o' @ NOTRUMP code for post DNB heat transfer. One is in the non-critical heatlink calculations, which are not used for modelinE core heat transfer.
The other is in the fuel rod-to-fluid heat transfer coefficient calculations (between core nodes and fluid nodes). These are discussed in more detail below.
The Westinghouse transition boiling correlation as implemented in the non-critical heatlink calculations of NOTRUMP is discussed in Section 6 of Reference 2. The wall temperature calculations via Equation 6-40 of Reference 2 are performed with an iterative solution technique. The iterative scheme which was originally employed was a crude method of successive substitution. Recently, this was improved by replacing the original scheme with the half-interval method which guarantees convergence, as discussed in Section 2-19 of the NOTRUMP Final Validation Repon for AP600 (Reference 3) . This improvement is used for all non critical heatlinks, and thus it is used in all of the AP600 analyses documented in Reference 3 in which non-critical heatlinks are employed.
The Westinghouse transition boiling correlation as implemented in the fuel rod-to-fluid heat transfer coefficient        I calculations (between core nodes and fluid nodes) of NOTRUMP is described in Appendix T of Reference 2.
specifically in Section T-3 via Equations T-25 and T-26. 'Ihere have been no modifications in this area of the code, and thus there are no changes to the core heat transfer methodology employed in the AP600 analyses of Reference 3.

1 AP600 GRID STABILITY REQUIREMENTS l
l The AP600 is designed with passive safety-related systems for core cooling and containment integrity and, therefore, does not depend on the electric power grid for safe operation. This                  i feature of the AP600 significantly reduces the importance of the grid connection and the                        '
requirement for grid stability, The AP600 safety analyses assume that the reactor coolant pumps (RCPs) can receive power from either the main generator or the grid for approximately 3 seconds following a turbine trip.
Normally, The RCP will receive power from the grid (if the grid is connected and stable). If the grid is disconnected prior to the turbine trip this RCP power will come from the stored energy in the inertia of the main turbine-generator.
There is a possibility that an unstable grid (with improperly functioning protective devices) could collapse as a consequence of the turbine trip and "take" the inertial energy from the main turbine-generator before the required 3 seconds. The probability of this event is immeasurably small for the following reasons:                                                                   )
l 1.
As stated in Branch Technical Position ICSB-11 (PSB) (attached] an interconnected grid (e.g., the U.S. mainland) meets the grid availability requirements of a conventional               i (non-passive) nuclear power plant. There is also a strong indication that an isolated                  j system large enough to justify inclusion of a nuclear unit will also meet this criterion,               ,
however, additional measures may be needed. This conclusion can be applied with                         I margin to the AP600 since the AP600 grid requirements are less than those of a                         !
conventional plant.
: 2.        The time-constant associated with an unstable grid will generally be significantly longer than 3 seconds. A time-constant as low as 3 seconds would generally only occur with                    t island operation where the AP600 is the only unit operating in the island. The                         '
probability of islanding of a well-designed grid, within 3 seconds of a turbine trip, is               !
l                               extremely small.
: 3.         The COL will be required to perform a grid stability analysis to show the grid will remain stable for at least 3 seconds following a turbine trip.

BRANCH TECHNICAL POSITION ICSB-11 (PSB)
STABILITY OF 0FFSITE POWER SYSTEMS A. BACKGROUNO The staff has traditionally required each applicant to perform stability         l i
studies for the electrical transmission grid which would be used to provide the offsite power sources to the plant. The basic requirement is that loss of    !
the largest operating unit on the grid will not result in loss of grid stability and availability of offsite power to the plant under consideration. In some cases, such as plants on the island of Puerto Rico, the plant is connected to an isolated power system of limited generating capacity. These kinds of isolated power systems are inherently less stable than equivalent systems with
;        supporting grid interties. It is also obvious that limited systems are more l        vulnerable to natural disasters such as tornadoes or hurricanes.
i        B. BRANCH TECHNICAL POSITION 1
: 1. The staff has concluded, from a review of appropriate reliability data, that power systems with supporting grid interties meet the grid availabil-ity criterion with some margin. This conclusion is applicable to the
;              review of most plants located on the U.S. mainland.
4        2. There is also strong indication that an isolated system large enough to justify inclusion of a nuclear unit will also meet this criterion.
However, as a conservative approach, the staff will examine the available generating capacity of a system, including interties if available, to
'              withstand outage of the largest unit. If the available capacity is judged marginal to provide adequate stability of the grid, additional measures should be taken. These may include provisions for additional capability and margin for the onsite power system beyond the normal requirements, or other measures as may be appropriate in a particular 4              case. The additional measures to be taken should be determined on an 4
individual case basis.

BACKGROUND-                                 A limit on leakage from the main steam line inside                             !

presence of excessive leakage. Leakage is limited to an amount which would not compromise safety consistent with the Leak Before Break (LBB) analysis discussed in Chapter 3 of-                    !
the AP600 SSAR (Ref. 1). This leakage limit ensures                            !
appropriate action can be taken before the integrity of the                    i lines is impaired.                                                             '
LBB is an argument which allows elimination of design for                      i dynamic load effects of >ostulated pipe breaks. The                            t fundamental premise of L38 is that the materials used in                       i nuclear plant piaing are strong enough that even a large                       ;
throughwall crac( leaking well in excess of rates detectable by present leak detection systems would remain stable, and would not result in a double ended guillotine break under maximum loading conditions. The benefit of LBB is the                          ;
elimination of pipe whip restraints, jet impingement effects, subcompartment pressurization, and internal system blowdown loads.                                                                J; As described in Section 3.6 of the AP600 SSAR (Ref.1), LBB' has been applied to the main steam line pipe runs inside containment. Hence, the potential safety significance of secondary side leaks inside containment requires detection                     i and monitoring of leakage inside containment. This LC0 protects the main steam lines and main feedwater lines inside containment against degradation, and helps assure that serious leaks will not develop. The consequences of violating this LCO include the possibility of further degradation of the main steam lines, which may lead to pipe break.
APPLICABLE                                  The safety-significance of plant leakage inside containment SAFETY ANALYSES                             varies depending on its source, rate, and duration.
Therefore, detection and monitoring of plant leakage inside containment are necessary. This is accom)lished via the instrumentation required by LCO 3.4.10. "(CS Leakage                           ,
Detection' Instrumentation," and the RCS water inventory                        !

Main Steam Line Leakage   l B 3.7.8 BASES APPLICABLE             any other identified non RCS leakage into the containment SAFETY ANALYSES        area from the total plant leakage inside containment (continued)         provides qualitative information to the operators regarding possible main steam line leakage. This allows the operators to take corrective action should leakage occur which is detrimental to the safety of the facility and/or the public.
Although the main steam line leakage limit is not required by the NRC Policy Statement criteria, this specification has been included in Technical Specifications in accordance with NRC direction (Ref. 2).
LCO                    Main steam line leakage is defined as leakage inside            i containment in any portion of the two (2) 28" I.D. main steam line pipe walls. Up to 0.5 gpm of leakage is allowable because it is below the leak rate for LBB analyzed cases of a main steam line crack twice as long as a crack leaking at ten (10) times the detectable leak rate under normal operating load conditions. Violation of this LCO         i could result in continued degradation of the main steam         l line.
APPLICABILITY          Because of elevated main steam system temperatures and pressures, the mtential for main steam line leakage is greatest in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4.
In MODES 5 and 6, a main steam line leakage limit is not provided because the main steam system pressure is far lower, resulting in lower stresses and a reduced potential for leakage. In addition, the steam generators are not the primary method of RCS heat removal in MODES 5 and 6.

                     @ of 4 hours to reach MODE 3 from full power wit 1out challenging plant systems is reasonable based oLg)erating experience. Similarly, the Completion Time of f 3 lours to reach MODE 5 without challenging plant systems (is also reasonable based on operating experience. In MODE 5, the pressure stresses acting on the main steam line are much lower, and further deterioration of the main steam line is less likely.
SURVEILLANCE      SR 3.7.8.1 REQUIREMENTS Verifying that main steam line leakage is within the LCO limit assures the integrity of those lines inside containment is maintained. An early warning of main steam line leakage is provided by the automatic system which monitar the cintainment sump level. Main steam line leakage would appear as unidentified leakage inside containment via this system, an.d can only be positively identified by inspection. However, by performance of an RCS water inventary balance (SR 3.4.8.1) and evaluation of the cooling and chilled water systems inside containment, determination of whether the main steam line is a potential source of unidentified leakage inside containment is possible.
