Upscale failure of LT-62-130A: Unlike Unit 1, the makeup control system uses inputs from both LT-62-130A and LT-62-129A. This results in a more robust design that eliminates a single point of failure for LT-62-130A. If transmitter LT-62-130A fails >20mA, the system disregards the input and uses the LT-62-129A signal for control. If transmitter LT-62-130A is high but <20 mA, the deviation between the two causes an alarm, and the diverter valve loop and makeup control both use the last good value of the average. Once the level goes high or low, alarms on LT-62-129A alert the operator to take action to mitigate. | Upscale failure of LT-62-130A: Unlike Unit 1, the makeup control system uses inputs from both LT-62-130A and LT-62-129A.

Prop Y/N Status/ Current Actions Resolution Path RAI No. & Date RAI Response Date Comments 001 EICB (Carte) 11/19/2009 The Watts Bar Nuclear Plant FSAR red-line for Unit 2 (Agency wide Documents Access and Management System Accession Number ML080770366) lists changes to the Unit 1 FSAR and depicts how Chapter 7 of the Unit 2 FSAR will appear at fuel load. Have additional changes been made to Chapter 7 of the Unit 2 FSAR beyond those indicated in ML080770366? Which of the changes identified correspond to digital instrumentation and controls (I&C) components and systems that have not been previously reviewed and approved by the NRC? 12/15/2009 Presentation Slides This item was partially addressed during the December 15, 2009 meeting.
TVA Letter Dated March 12, 2010 (Enclosure 1, Item No. 1 on Page 1 of 15): TVA responded to this request for additional Information.
Closed Date: 3/15/2010 RAI response received. Closed November 19, 2010 ML093230343 RAI 1 3/12/2010 NNC 11/19/09: The FSAR contains mostly description of the function that the various TVA systems must perform. Therefore this question was asked to determine how the systems have been changed.
NNC 4/15/10: The response addresses many systems and should be read by all EICB reviewers. 002 EICB (Carte) 11/19/2009 Are there I&C components and systems that have changed to a new or different digital technology without the change being reflected in the FSAR markup? Are there any not-redlined I&C components and systems that have been changed or replaced by digital base technology since Unit 1 was approved? 12/15/2009 Presentation Slides This item was partially addressed during the December 15, 2009 meeting. TVA Letter Dated March 12, 2010 (Enclosure 1, Item No. 2 on Page 2 of 15): TVA responded to this request for additional Information.

Therefore this question was asked to determine how the systems have been changed. NNC 4/15/10: The response addresses many systems and should be read by all EICB reviewers. 003 EICB (Carte) 11/19/2009 Because a digital I&C platform can be configured and programmed for different applications, the review process can be divided between a review of the platform and a review of the application. For planning and scheduling reasons, it is important to know beforehand which platform has been used in each digital component and system. What is the base platform of each unreviewed digital I&C component and system (e.g., Common Q)? 12/15/2009 Presentation Slides This item was partially addressed during the December 15, 2009 meeting. TVA Letter Dated March 12, 2010 (Enclosure 1, Item No. 3 on Page 2 of 15): TVA responded to this request for additional Information.

The PAMS ISG6 compliance matrix supplied as Enclosure 1 to TVA letter dated February 5, 2010 is a first draft of the information needed. The shortcomings of the first three lines in the matrix are:
Line 1: Section 11 of the Common Q topical report did include a commercial grade dedication program, but this program was not approved in the associated SE. Westinghouse stated that this was the program and it could now be reviewed. The NRC stated that TVA should identified what they believe was previously reviewed and approved.
Line 2: TVA stated the D3 analysis was not applicable to PAMS, but provided no justification. The NRC asked for justification since SRP Chapter 7.5 identified SRM to SECV-93-087 Item II.Q as being SRP acceptance criteria for PAMS.
Line 3: TVA identified that the Design report for computer integrity was completed as part of the common Q topical report. The NRC noted that this report is applicable for a system in a plant, and the CQ topical report did no specifically address this PAMS system at Watts Bar Unit 2.

Responder: TVA I&C Staff Date: 5/25/10 Firmware/software changes are done by connecting a laptop to a port on the front of the RM-1000 and placing the Operate/Calibrate switch in the Calibrate position. The first physical barrier to access is the location of the RM-1000 in the main control room which has limited access.
The RM-1000 Operate/Calibrate switch is located behind the hinged front panel. The front panel must be opened (held closed by two thumbscrews) to access the switch. This provides a physical barrier to inadvertent switch operation. The system malfunction alarm is visible locally and will annunciate on the control board when the switch is in the Calibrate position.
Administrative control of software/firmware updates is in accordance with TVA Standard Specification SS-E18.15.01, Software Requirements for Real-Time Data Acquisition and Control Computer Systems, and TVA procedures SPP-9.3, Plant Modifications and Engineering Change Control, and SPP-2.6, Computer Software Control.

Responder: Webb Date: 4/8/2010 The WBN2 Common Q PAMS provides redundant signal processing and indication of two RG-1.97 Type A variables: Core-Exit Temperature (CET) and Subcooled Margin. In the event of a common-cause failure of the Common Q PAMS, instrumentation diverse from Common Q is available for these two variables. Wide Range (WR) Hot Leg Temperature indication is specified as a diverse variable for CET in the Post-Accident Monitoring Design Criteria, WB-DC-30-7 (Attachment ). WR Hot Leg Temperature indication from all four hot legs is available on control board indicators and plant computer displays.
Temperature and pressure saturation margin calculations are also performed in the plant computer independently of Common Q utilizing different hardware and software. Isolated outputs from the Eagle 21 protection system are provided to the plant computer for four WR Hot Leg Temperature channels and four WR RCS Pressure channels. The temperature channels and two of the pressure channels are the same as those used in the Common Q saturation margin calculations.

The following non-proprietary response was developed from proprietary Westinghouse letter WBT-D-2027 (Reference 11), which provided the resolution of this issue. Westinghouse approved this non-proprietary response via e-mail from A. Drake to M. Clark on June 15, 2010.
As documented in WBT-D-1917, "Eagle-21 Rack 5 LCP Diagnostic Failures", (Reference 14),
during the factory acceptance testing for the Unit 2 Eagle-21 System, Westinghouse noted an occasional diagnostic failure while performing the parameter update function on Rack 5.
Subsequently, TVA provided to Westinghouse for testing and examination, a Loop Control Processor (LCP) board removed by TVA from
Unit 1 Rack 5 for life cycle-based preventive maintenance. TVA personnel familiar with Unit 1 had indicated they had not experienced problems when performing parameter updates on Unit 1 Rack 5.
Based on Westinghouse examination and testing, a difference in hardware was identified between Open Open The write-up shows that there was differences between Unit 1 and 2 but was not identified to NRC in earlier response. Are there any more surprises like this?

Prop Y/N Status/ Current Actions Resolution Path RAI No. & Date RAI Response Date Comments the Unit 1 LCP shipped to Westinghouse, the new Unit 2 Rack 5 LCP, and an older LCP (older than the Unit 1 LCP) from the Westinghouse Eagle 21 test bed. Installed on the Unit 1 LCP was a different version of an 80287 math coprocessor chip (80287 XL).
This version of the 80287 had an improved specification for calculation speed. Use of this chip on both the Unit 2 LCP and the test bed LCP allowed proper performance of the LCP when making parameter updates using the Unit 1/Unit 2 Rack 5 software. Also, use of the slower 80287 on any of the three LCP boards caused failure in parameter update with the Unit 1/Unit 2 Rack 5 software.
Through investigation of historical records, Westinghouse found that the 80287 XL chip had been evaluated and used by its former Process Control Division (now Emerson) for this application, but the current Westinghouse documentation had not been updated. This part has now been evaluated, and the Westinghouse documentation and drawing have been revised to allow use of the 80287 XL coprocessor. The 80287 XL coprocessor has been installed on the Unit 2 Rack 5 LCP, and the appropriate factory acceptance testing has been successfully conducted using this updated board. Additionally, the LCP boards in the balance of the Unit 2 racks have been updated with the 80287 XL coprocessor.

Or installed in unit 1 under 50.59, or c. Is unique to unit 2 Responder: Clark Response states that Eagle21 and the CQ PMAS MTP have communications links to non-safety-related systems..
The original design allowed printing from both the Operator Module (OM) and Maintenance and Test Panel (MTP) via the plant computer. This required both to be connected to the plant computer. Westinghouse did not perceive this as an issue, because the standard Common Q PAMS design includes both the flat panel displays and individual control panel indicators. The Westinghouse Common Q team did not realize that WBN does not use the individual control panel indicators. As a result, the original design documents provided by Westinghouse included Open The CQ PAMS SysRS (WNA-DS-01617-WBT Rev. 1 Figure 2..1-1) shows that the OM has a TCP interface to non-safety. Please provide a list of ALL digital communications paths to non-safety-related systems.

The TVA team did not realize that the Westinghouse design relied on the OM and MTP to be qualified isolation devices that protected the AC160 functions and individual control panel indicators from interference from the plant computer. It was not until a meeting was held with TVA, Westinghouse and Bechtel to discuss the design of the OM that the issues came to light. That was when Westinghouse understood that the OM was the PAMS display and WBN did not use individual control panel indicators and TVA/Bechtel understood that the OM was being credited as the "qualified isolation device". It became apparent at the meeting to both TVA/Bechtel and Westinghouse that the original design was not acceptable. The team then agreed to delete the OM connection to the plant computer.
SysRS, SRS, & SDS had already been identified.

However, the new boards do not. Provide the basis for deletion of the conformal coating. Responder: WEC The response to this RAI was submitted in TVA letter to the NRC dated June 21, 2010.
As previously stated the technical reason for the coating "was to ensure performance at high humidity, with the major concern being the effects of humidity on low level analog circuitry". Westinghouse letter (WBT-D-2036, TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY WATTS BAR NUCLEAR PLANT UNIT 2, Basis for Removal of Conformal Coating Requirement on Eagle 21 Boards (Reference 7) does not credit the conformal coating as addressing the tin whisker issue.
As addressed in Resolution of Generic Safety Issues: Issue 200: Tin Whiskers (NUREG-0933, Main Report with Supplements 1-33),
"CONCLUSION The low number of reported events associated with this issue, the lack of any increasing trend, the lack of any apparent decrease in reliability of systems or components due to tin whiskers, the existence of applicable regulatory requirements and programs (i.e., 10 CFR Part 21, the maintenance rule requirements, and the Reactor Oversight Program), and the issuance of Close Open How is the tin whisker issue is addressed.

In the original Safety Evaluation(SE), NUREG-0847 (ML072060490), Section 7.7.3, the staff addressed a concern that was raised by Westinghouse regarding an adverse control and protection system interaction. (-a single random failure in the VCT level control system could cause the letdown flow to be diverted to the liquid holdup tank). Based on your responses to the staff's questions related to this concern, the staff considered the issue resolved. Confirm that your responses are applicable to Unit 2. Responder:
- 1. The devices in the Volume Control Tank Level Control System have been replaced. The Volume Control Tank Level Indication and Control functions have been relocated to the Foxboro IA system. The transmitters and indicators have been replaced with 4-20mA technology and the transmitters have been changed to Rosemount.
- 2. Upscale failure of LT-62-129A: Flow is diverted to the holdup tank but makeup continues to maintain level and alarms alert the operator.
Upscale failure of LT-62-130A: Unlike Unit 1, the makeup control system uses inputs from both LT-62-130A and LT-62-129A. This results in a more robust design that eliminates a single point of failure for LT-62-130A. If transmitter LT-62-130A fails >20mA, the system disregards the input and uses the LT-62-129A signal for control. If transmitter LT-62-130A is high but <20 mA, the deviation between the two causes an alarm, and the diverter valve loop and makeup control both use the last good value of the average. Once the level goes high or low, alarms on LT-62-129A alert the operator to take action to mitigate.

Prop Y/N Status/ Current Actions Resolution Path RAI No. & Date RAI Response Date Comments Temperature Detector (RTD) temperature inputs were consistently reading about 0.2 °F higher than expected. Investigation revealed that these inputs are configured in the Loop Calculation Processor software as a shared RTD. This is incorrect. Rack 2 RTD's are not shared. Racks 6, 10 and 13 RTD's are. Configuration as a shared RTD input alters the equation used for the temperature calculation. Watts Bar Unit 1 uses identical software to Unit 2.
Further investigation by Westinghouse showed this configuration error causes the Narrow Range Temperatures for only Division I to read 0.2 to 0.27 °F higher over the Narrow Range span of 510-650 °F. The 0.2 °F shift affects Thot and Tcold equally and thus will not affect the indication of Delta T.

16 The update to Section 7.2.1.1.5 is taken from text in Section 7.2.2.3.4 with clarifications and editorial changes. The relocated discussion of the pressurizer water level instrumentation Is more appropriately included in this section than Section 7.2.2.3.4, which deals with control and protection system interaction. The changes to 7.2.1.1.5 are based on a general description of the Westinghouse pressurizer level design, channel independence, and actual installation attributes found on TVA physical drawings. Also, the hydrogen gas entrainment issue documented in NRC Information Bulletin No. 92-54, Level Instrumentation Inaccuracies Caused by Rapid Depressurization, is retained and clarified. Similar clarification is made to Reactor Protection System Description N3-9g.4003 Se ction 3.1.1.2(d). The original text in 7.2.2.3.4 provides some information that is too detailed and is not pertinent to the subject of discussion. It also includes a statement that the error effect on the level measurement during a blowdown accident would be about one inch. The basis for this value is not known; however, the worst case reference leg loss of fill error due to a rapid RCS depressurization event Is no more than 12 inches elevation head. This value is based on the relative elevation difference between the condensing chamber and the reference leg sensor bellows. The Westinghouse Owners Group response to this issue is found in RIMS # L44930216800. The channel error value discrepancy is documented in WBPER980417. The remaining text in 7.2.2.3.4 is revised to clarify the control and protection system interaction discussion. the same as for Unit 1.

Provide the information on how the WBN2 setpoint methodology meets the guidance of RIS 2006-17 and include this discussion in this section. Also, by letter dated May 13, 2010, TVA provided Rev. 7 of EEB-TI-28 to the staff. The staff noted that section 4.3.3.6 of EEB-TI-28 discusses the correction for setpoints with a single side of interest. It should be noted that the staff has not approved this aspect of setpoint methodology for Unit 1. The staff finds this reduction in uncertainties is not justified unless it can be demonstrated that the 95/95 criteria is met. Therefore, either remove this reduction factor for single sided uncertainties or justify how you meet the 95/95 criteria given in RG 1.105. Responder: Craig/Webb (Q1) Refer to the response to letter item 13, RAI Matrix Item 51.
(Q2) EEB-TI-28's single sided methodology conforms with WBN's design basis commitment to ensure that 95% of the analyzed population is covered by the calculated tolerance limits as defined in NRC Reg Guide 1.105, Revision 2, 1986 that was in affect during WBN Unit 1 licensing. The single sided methodology is not used for any TSTF-493 setpoints that use TI-28 methodology. Open Open FSAR AMD 100.
Since all the setpoint and allowable value for Unit 2 is calculated and added to TS, TVA needs to address the latest criteria and that include 95/95 criteria.

However, it further states that for Unit 2, precision calorimetric flow measurement methodology will be used. If elbow taps are not used for Unit 2, then why does this section discuss this methodology? It is the staff's understanding that TVA plans to use elbow taps methodology in the future for Unit 2. Please revise this section to describe the current plant design/methodology. Responder: Craig For the purposes of measuring reactor coolant flow for Reactor Protection functions, elbow taps are used for both Unit 1 and 2. The discussion and equation are valid for establishing the nominal full power flow which is used to establish the Reactor Protection System low flow trip setpoint. However the method used to verify reactor coolant flow, as required by the Technical Specifications, is not the same. Unit 1 uses a simplified methodology based on elbow tap P measurements correlated with precision calorimetric data over several cycles of operation as described in Reference 17, WCAP-16067, Rev 0, RCS Flow Measurement Using Elbow Tap Methodology at Watts Bar Unit 1. The plan is for Unit 2 to transition to this method after sufficient data is obtained. Pending this transaction, 7.2.2.1.2 will be revised as follows:
From: "Nominal full power flow is established at the geginning of each fuel cycle by either elbow tap methodology or, performance of the RCS calorimetric flow measurement, (For Unit 1 elbow tap methodology is implemented for RCS flow measurement (Reference [17]) and Unit 2 may implement elbow tap methodology at a future Open Open TVA to provide date when information will be docketed FSAR Section 7.2, Reactor Trip System Agenda for Weekly Telecom with TVA (I&C Chapter 7 only) rad2EDBB.docx Open Items to be Resolved for SER Approval No. SE Section FSAR Sectio n NR C PO C Issue TVA Response(s)

This is for Unit 1 only. For Unit 2, the precision calorimetric flow meas urement methodology will be used."

Justify the use of the plant computer for this function. Include the discussion on the effect of plant computer failure on the system functions. Responder: Perkins The primary purpose of the plant computer is to present plant process and equipment status information to the control room operators to assist them in the normal operations of the unit, and inform them of any abnormal conditions. The plant computer obtains real-time plant parameter information via Data Acquisition Systems(DAS)(multiplexers, etc.) by scanning preassigned analog, pulse, and contact sensors located throughout the plant. The computer is not defined as being primary safety-related and it is not required to meet the single failure criterion or be qualified to IEEE criteria for Class 1E equipment.
The plant computer system acquires, processes, and displays all data to support the assessment capabilities of the Main Control Room (MCR). To help ensure that reactor trip and other information presented to the Operations staff is reliable:
- The data undergoes several validation steps before being presented to the operators. When redundant sensors are used, the data received by the computer can be processed by software to determine if the quality of one or more points is questionable.
- Any software associated with the computer and the DAS must meet the quality requirements of plant procedure SPP-2.6, "Computer Software Control" which is based on requirements in Open Open TVA to provide date when

The computer software is controlled by a Software Quality Assurance Plan.
- One of the requirements in 10 CFR 50, Appendix A states that "Appropriate controls shall be provided to maintain variables monitored and systems within prescribed operating ranges." Periodic maintenance and calibration will be performed on the computer and DAS. In addition, calibration procedures for instrumentation which is used for input to the computer include verification of the computer input signal at the DAS and as displayed on the display stations.
- The software and associated hardware undergoes a detailed Factory Acceptance Test prior to installation in the plant. After installation in the plant, a Site Acceptance Test (SAT) will be conducted. The SAT will include several tests:
computer accuracy, analog input accuracy, calculated value accuracy, computer performance, system response times, all input/output (from termination strip to display stations/printers), all data ports, and computer power supplies.
- In order to minimize the possibility of bad sensor inputs to the Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS) and/or inaccurate SPDS display of sensor inputs, routine instrument loop calibration of sensors that provide input to the SPDS will include verification that the SPDS-displayed values are correct. WBN's instrument surveillance
instructions will incorporate these verifications.
Effect of plant computer failure on system functions The WBN Unit 2 is designed on the basis that it can still operate when the plant computer is inoperable. The computer is not required for safe shutdown of the plant during external design basis events such as tornadoes, floods, rain, and transportation accidents.

Requirements applicable to the review of SPDS-10 CFR 50.55a(a)(1), "Quality Standards."
Please provide a description of how SPDS meets this regulatory requirement. Responder: Costley/Norman
The principal purpose and function of the SPDS is to aid control room personnel during abnormal and emergency conditions in determining the safety status of the plant and in assessing if abnormal conditions require corrective action by the operators to avoid a degraded core. It also operates during normal operations, continuously displaying information from which the plant safety status can be readily and reliably accessed.
To ensure quality, the design, testing, and inspection of the SPDS is controlled by qualified personnel and by using TVA procedure SPP-2.6, "Computer Software Control". The procedure details controls and processes required for the development, modification, and configuration management of computer software used to support the design, operation, modification, and maintenance of TVA's nuclear power plants consistent with the Nuclear Quality Assurance
Plan. This ensures that the design and operation of the SPDS complies with the 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(1) quality standards requirements. The controls and processes outlined in the procedure provide
assurance that the SPDS will perform its intended function correctly.
The plant Integrated Computer System(ICS) provides the SPDS for WBN. Any changes to the SPDS software must be documented and controlled using a Software Service Request(per SPP-2.6) and must be implemented under the engineering design change process(Design Change Notice, DCN).

- Changes to SPDS software from remote locations is prohibited.
- The application custodian implements controls to prevent unauthorized changes to the software.
- Changes are made in a non-production environment and validation testing takes place before the change is installed on the ICS.
- Once validation testing begins, the source code is placed under configuration control.
- When the modifications are installed on the ICS, an operability test is performed to demonstrate that the software is installed correctly and is functioning correctly in its operating environment.
- The software source code is kept in a physically secure, environmentally controlled space to prevent inadvertent changes.
- Cyber security considerations are also considered in the storage environment. The data goes through several validation steps before being presented to the operators. When redundant sensors are used, the data received by the computer can be processed by software to determine if the quality of one or more points is questionable.

196 7.5.1.1.2 7.5.2.2 EICB (Marcus) 7/20/2010 Bypassed and Inoperable Status Indication (BISI)
The NRC staff is performing its review in accordance with LIC-110, Rev. 1, "Watts Bar Unit 2 License Application Review." LIC-110 directs the staff to review systems unique to Unit 2 in accordance with current staff guidance. Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.47 Revision 1, "Bypassed and Inoperable Status indication for Nuclear Power Plant Safety Systems," is the current regulatory guidance for BISI. Please provide a regulatory evaluation of BISI against the current RG. Responder: Costley/Norman Section C of the Regulatory Guide lists the following six regulatory positions for guidance to satisfy the NRC requirements with respect to the bypassed and inoperable status indication(BISI) for nuclear power plant safety systems:
- 1. Administrative procedures should be supplemented by an indication system that automatically indicates, for each affected safety system or subsystem, the bypass or deliberately induced inoperability of a safety function and the systems actuated or controlled by the safety function. Provisions should also be made to allow the operations staff to confirm that a bypassed safety function has been properly returned to Open Open TVA to respond or provide proposed date of response.

Response: The BISI system provides indication(displays and annunciation) that a functional path for each train of a safety system or support system has been rendered in a state which could cause inoperab ility. The BISI system monitors and provides system level alarms for these plant safety-related systems:
- Main and Aux Feedwater
- Safety Injection
- Emergency Gas Treatment
- Essential Raw Cooling Water
- Chemical and Volume Control
- Ventilating
- Component Cooling
- Control Air( including Aux Control Air)
- Standby Diesel Generator
The system level displays/indicating lights indicate the status of each system's train functional path as well as the status of any support system that might put the system in an inoperable or bypassed condition.
The BISI system software runs on the Integrated Computer System(ICS) and it provides the capability to monitor in real time the parameters required to provide a BISI system as described in the Reg Guide.
The system level display or indicating lights indicate "NORMAL" status when a previously bypassed system returns to normal operational status. The Operations staff will determine the impact of each alarm on the process flow path indication during plant modes of operation. The final decision of system operability is left up to the Operations staff to determine per Technical
Specifications.
- 2. The indicating system for BISI should also be activated automatically by the bypassing or the deliberately induced inope rability of any auxiliary or supporting system that effectively bypasses or renders inoperable a safety function and the systems actuated or controlled by the safety function.
Agenda for Weekly Telecom with TVA (I&C Chapter 7 only) rad2EDBB.docx Open Items to be Resolved for SER Approval No. SE Section FSAR Sectio n NR C PO C Issue TVA Response(s)
Prop Y/N Status/ Current Actions Resolution Path RAI No. & Date RAI Response Date Comments Response: The Integrated Computer System(ICS) obtains real-time plant parameter information system by continuously scanning pre-assigned analog, pulse, and contact sensors located throughout the plant to provide status information to the BISI system and automatically displays that information on the BISI terminals in the Main Control Room. Alarms are also initiated to gain the Operations staff's attention.
- 3. Annunciating functions for system failure and automatic actions based on the self-test or self-diagnostic capabilities of digital computer-based I&C safety systems should be consistent with Positions 1 and 2.
Response: The data goes through several validation steps before being presented to the operators. When redundant sensors are used, the data received by the computer can be processed by software to determine if the quality of one or more points is questionable.
- 4. The bypass and inoperable status indication system should include a capability for ensuring its operable status during normal plant operation to the extent that the indicating and annunciating functions can be verified.
Response: The BISI system is designed to operate during all normal plant modes of operations including startup, shutdown, standby, refueling, and power operation. The ICS is designed to provide a very high degree of reliability and the accuracy of the displayed data is not significantly less than the accuracy of comparable data displayed in the Main Control Room.
- 5. Bypass and inoperable status indicators should be arranged such that the operator can determine whether continued reactor operation is permissible. The control room of all affected units should receive an indication of the bypass of shared system safety functions.
Response: A system level display via the BISI display or indicating lights is provided to the operators to indicate the status of the systems being monitored as well as any support systems.

The information provided will identify to the Operations staff the exact nature of the initiating condition for the abnormal alarm. Each BISI system point will allow the user to access a detailed system screen.
These indicators and alar ms will provide critical information to help the operations staff determine whether continued reactor operation is/is not permissible. As stated previously, the final decision of system operability/inoperability is left to the Operations staff to determine per Technical Specifications.
- 6. Bypass and inoperable status indicators should be designed and installed in a manner that
precludes the possibility of adverse effects on plant safety systems. The indication system should not be used to perform functions that are essential to safety, unless it is designed in conformance with criteria established for safety systems.
Response: The BISI system is not designed to safety system criteria and therefore is not to be used to perform functions essential to the health and safety of the public, nor are operator actions based solely on BISI indications.
Appropriate electrical and physical isolation from safety-related equipment to the non-safety system is provided to meet the requirements identified in the FSAR. The ICS is independent of existing sensors and equipment in safety-related systems. Independence is achieved through qualified safety-related Class 1E isolators. The ICS is also isolated to preclude electrical or electronic interference with existing safety systems.
Inputs and outputs are isolated from the plant inputs such that normal faults on the plant side of the loops will have no adverse impact on the ICS other than loss of the one circuit with the fault.

The indication system should be designed and installed in a manner that precludes the possibility of adverse effects on plant safety systems. Failure or bypass of a protective function should not be a credible consequence of failures occurring in the indication equipment, and the bypass indication should not reduce the required independence between redundant safety systems. I. Use of digital systems - See SRP Appendix 7.0-A and Appendix 7.1-D.
Please provide a description of how BISI meets each item above, or provide appropriate justification for not doing so. Responder: Costley/Norman F.

Compliance to Regulatory Guide 1.47 is described in design criteria document WB-DC-30-29 Rev. 8, Integrated Computer System (submitted under TVA letter dated August 11, 2010 (Reference 1)) which is a design input to calculation WBPEVAR8807025 Rev. 7. H. Design criteria document WB-DC-30-29 Rev. 8, Integrated Computer System submitted under TVA letter dated August 11, 2010 (Reference 1)) section 3.4.1, BISI Design and Operation states: "The BISI shall not be designed to safety related system criteria and therefore is not to be used to perform functions essential to the health and safety of the public. Class 1E isolation is required, however, to maintain the independence of safety related equipment and systems." I. Development of the Bypassed and Inoperable Status Indication (BISI) application of the Integrated Computer System (ICS) is performed in accordance with NPG SPP 2.6, Computer Software Control, Rev. 12 (Attachment 35). The development process starts with classifying the application depending on how the output of the software will be used. BISI software is currently classified as category 'C' in accordance with .

FSAR Section 7.5.2, "Plant Computer System," has three subsections: 7.5.2.1, "Safety Parameter Display System" 7.5.2.2, "Bypassed and Inoperable Status Indication System (BISI)" 7.5.2.3, "Technical Support Center and Nuclear Data Links" This arrangement implies that the each of these function are part of the plant computer, and not a separate sets of equipment. Please describe the equipment for each function and identify any equipment common to more than one function. Responder: Clark The plant computer system is one set of hardware. The "Safety Parameter Display System", "Bypassed and Inoperable Status Indication System (BISI)", "Technical Support Center and Nuclear Data Links" are all functions of the Plant Computer System. Historically the Westinghouse P2500 Plant Process Computer and Emergency Response Facilities Data System (ERFDS) were individual systems but were merged together with the implementation of DCN 39911-A, implemented for WBN Unit 1 in December 1998, to become the Plant Integrated Computer System (ICS). A similar system is being installed for WBN Unit 2 based on the same software with more modern hardware.
The ICS is composed of a number of pieces of hardware, all utilized as a system, to provide the functions listed in the FSAR sections 7.5.2.1, 7.5.2.2 and 7.5.2.3. This hardware includes but is not limited to Hewlett Packard (HP) servers (CPU), DELL servers (CPU), Fiber Optic Panels, Fiber Optic Converters, Switches, Firewalls, Network Taps, Multiplexors (RTP), LCD displays and fiber optic and copper Ethernet cables. As all the applicable hardware make up the "system" it is all common to more than one function and there Open Open TVA to respond or provide proposed date of response.

Regarding the Foxboro Spec 200 system installed at Unit 2:
a- Is it similar to Unit 1? If not, identify the differences and evaluation of the acceptability of these differences.
b- deleted
c- For each system which is discussed in the FSAR and utilizes the Spec 200 system, please provide the instrument logic diagram, loop/block diagram with reference to where the system is discussed in the FSAR. Responder: Clark
As discussed at the August 3 and 4 meeting in Knoxville between TVA and the NRC, the Foxboro Spec 200 is not a system. The Foxboro Spec 200 analog hardware is used to replace the existing obsolete hardware with the same functions. There are no interconnections between the analog loops unless such interconnections existed prior to the replacement. This is strictly an analog to analog upgrade due to equipment obsolescence. The Foxboro hardware is installed in existing cabinets which require modifications to accept the Foxboro hardware racks.
a- A listing of the replacements and differences was previously provided as Attachment 1 to TVA letter to the NRC dated June 18, 2010. Within Unit 1, only portions of the AFW controls were replaced. In Unit 2 all safety-related analog loops were replaced. The Foxboro Spec 200 is a fully qualified industry standard for replacement of obsolete analog instrument and control loop hardware.
b- deleted c- c- The Foxboro Spec 200 hardware has not been installed. Therefore the revised drawings have not been issued. Based on this, EDCR excerpts for the logic diagrams and loop/logic drawings were provided as attachments to TVA letter to the NRC dated July 30, 2010. The cross reference between the functions upgraded as part

Please explain this omission or state your commitment to correct this in a future amendment. The AMSAC start is not included based on Unit 1 UFSAR Change Package 1554S0 which states:
"20 (page 7.3-17. 18 and Table 7.3-1): The initiating signals for Au xiliary Feed water (AFW) are moved from Section 7.3.2.3 to Table 7.3-1, which lists ESF instrumentation. A reference to*the Table is added. This change also clarifies that the AFW pumps are st arted by tljp of both Turbine-Driven Main Feedwater (MFW) pumps rather than all MFW pumps as currently stated since trip of the Standby MFW pump does not initiate AFW. This is consistent with the description of the Auxiliary Feedwater System in Section 10.4.9. This change also deletes AMSAC from the list of AFW start signals. As described in Section 7.7.1.12, the AMSAC system is non-safety and provides a diverse means of initiating AFW and turbine trip under conditions indicative of an ATWS event. AMSAC was not designed as an Engineered Safety Feature and is not included in the ESFAS Technical Specification 3.3.2 for AFW start. Therefore, it does not belong in the Table which identifies ESF instrumentation.

Closure of the main steam isolation valves is not included based on Unit 1 UFSAR Change Package 1896S0 which states:
"FSAR section 7.3.1.1.1 item 12 contains information which is incorrect and conflicts with information in the same chapter and other sections. Specifically, item 12 indicates that containment spray initiates Phase B containment isolation and that Phase B initiates main steam line isolation.
