(vii) The corrective action which has been, is being, or willbe taken; the name oftheindividual or organization responsible for the action; and the length oftime that has been or willbe taken to complete the actiont An evaluation of the defect has been performed by ABB-CE. The results of that evaluation show that there is no safety problem at WNP-2 for operation of the previous Cycles 12 and 13 and its current Cycle 14 operating state (Normal Scram Speed, Recirculation Pump Trip operable, and Turbine Bypass operable) prior to 5,000 MWd/MTU. That is, the established MCPR Operating Limits currently in the plant technical specifications for this operating state provide adequate protection. However, certain MCPR Operating Limits for other operating states prior to 5,000 MWd/MTU and all operating states after 5,000 MWd/MTU for WNP-2 Cycle 14 must be increased to accommodate the defect. The utility currently projects that WNP-2 will reach 5.000 MWd/MTU in early 1999. ABB-CE has notified the Washington Public Power Supply System of the necessary changes to the WNP-2 MCPR Operating Limits.
The BISON code model for WNP-2 has been revised to correct the error. All ABB-CE BWR fuel users have been notified of this condition.

OF MEETING WITH ENERGY NORTHWEST REGARDING THE PROPOSED SECONDARY CONTAINMENT/STANDBYGAS TREATMENT SUBMITTAL On January 27, 2000, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff met with representatives of Energy Northwest to discuss the upcoming secondary containment/standby gas treatment license amendment submittal. The proposed changes would revise the following:
The proposed changes would revise the following:
SR 3.6.1.3.10             increases the secondary containment bypass leakage from .74 standard cubic feet per hour (scfh) to .028 percent/day approximately 9.4 scfh.
SR 3.6.1.3.10 increases the secondary containment bypass leakage from.74 standard cubic feet per hour (scfh)to.028 percent/day approximately 9.4 scfh.SR 3.6.4.1.1 change the requirement to verify secondary containment pressure is less than.25 inch vacuum water gage to less than 0 inch vacuum water gage.SR 3.6.4.1.4 increase the secondary containment drawdown time from 2 minutes to 20 minutes.TS 5.5.7 increase the standby gas treatment system flow rate to 5000 cubic feet per minute (cfm).Energy Northwest withdrew a similar amendment request in July 1999, when the staff identified a calculation error in determining containment release concentration.
SR 3.6.4.1.1             change the requirement to verify secondary containment pressure is less than .25 inch vacuum water gage to less than 0 inch vacuum water gage.
Due to the extensive review required of the previous submittal, both the staff and the licensee felt that a meeting to discuss the upcoming submittal would be beneficial in shortening the review and avoiding unnecessary requests for additional information.
SR 3.6.4.1.4             increase the secondary containment drawdown time from 2 minutes to 20 minutes.
In order to improve efficiency the same NRC staff members who were involved in the final review for the first submittal were at the meeting and will review the second submittal. is a list of the meeting participants. is a copy of the slides presented by Energy Northwest.

Energy Northwest withdrew a similar amendment request in July 1999, when the         staff identified a calculation error in determining containment release concentration. Due to the     extensive review required of the previous submittal, both the staff and the licensee felt that a meeting to discuss the upcoming submittal would be beneficial in shortening the review and     avoiding unnecessary requests for additional information.
The emphasis was on how this submittal has changed from the previous submittal.
In order to improve efficiency the same NRC staff members who were involved in the final review for the first submittal were at the meeting and will review the second submittal.
This submittal includes meteorological data and atmospheric dispersion calculations (X/Q calculations).
Enclosure 1 is a list of the meeting participants. Enclosure 2 is a copy of the slides presented by Energy Northwest.
Leta Brown, of the NRC staff, suggested that it would be useful if the X/Q calculations and an electronic version of the meteorological data were provided for staff review.Mr.David Studley of Scientech discussed the X/Q calculations including the four release points and the control room intakes.The discussion also covered the application of ARGON 96 Code and the assumptions that were made.The description of the site configuration and of the Oo@~~It"~48KFiX gfjP"~88C8<ggg

Subject:

Report of a Oefect Pursuant to 1Q CFR 21 Concerning Incorrect Modeling of a BWR Lower Plenum Volume in BISON The purpose of this letter is'to notify the Nuclear Regulatory Commission of a defect under 10 CFR 21, "Reporting of Defects and Noncompliance." The defect concerns the Operating Limit for the Minimum Critical Power Ratio (MCPR) in Boiling Water Reactors (BWRs) analyzed using the BISON fast transient analysis code. Specifically, the defect involves incorrect modeling of the reactor vessel lower plenum volume in the BISON code, which could lead to the establishment of non-conservative MCPR Operating Limits in plant technical specifications.

The Enclosure summarizes the evaluation performed by ABB Combustion Engineering (ABB-CE). If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or Virgil Paggen of my staff at (860) 2854700, Very truly yours, COMBUSTION ENGINEERING, INC.

Enclosure to LD-99-002 Page2of2 (vi) In the case of a basic component which contains a defect orfails to comply, the number and location ofall such components in use at, supplied for, or being supplied for one or more facilities or activities subj ect to the regulations in this part:

The BISON computer code is a proprietary ABB Atom AB program used by ABB-CE for performing BWR safety analyses for U.S. customers. The defect applies only to reload fuel assemblies currently in operation at WNP-2.

(vii) The corrective action which has been, is being, or willbe taken; the name oftheindividual or organization responsible for the action; and the length oftime that has been or willbe taken to complete the actiont An evaluation of the defect has been performed by ABB-CE. The results of that evaluation show that there is no safety problem at WNP-2 for operation of the previous Cycles 12 and 13 and its current Cycle 14 operating state (Normal Scram Speed, Recirculation Pump Trip operable, and Turbine Bypass operable) prior to 5,000 MWd/MTU. That is, the established MCPR Operating Limits currently in the plant technical specifications for this operating state provide adequate protection. However, certain MCPR Operating Limits for other operating states prior to 5,000 MWd/MTU and all operating states after 5,000 MWd/MTU for WNP-2 Cycle 14 must be increased to accommodate the defect. The utility currently projects that WNP-2 will reach 5.000 MWd/MTU in early 1999. ABB-CE has notified the Washington Public Power Supply System of the necessary changes to the WNP-2 MCPR Operating Limits.

The BISON code model for WNP-2 has been revised to correct the error. All ABB-CE BWR fuel users have been notified of this condition.

(viii) Any advice related to the defect orfailure to comply about the facility, activity, or basic component that has been, is being, or willbe given to purchasers or licensees:

The Washington Public Power Supply System has been notified of the defect and has been provided with revised MCPR Operating Limits for WNP-2.

2000 Day Hill Road .

Windsor, CT 06095-0500 (ii) Identification ofthe facility, the activity, or the basic component supplied for such facility or such activity within the United States which fails to comply or contains a defect:

The activity for which this report is being filed is the establishment of non-conservative MCPR Operating Limits for the Washington Public Power Supply System Nuclear Project Unit 2 (WNP-2) nuclear power plant during Cycles 12, 13, and 14 operation..

(iii) Identification of the fir constructing the facility or supplying the basic component which fails to comply or contains a defect:

Combustion Engineering, Inc.

2000 Day Hill Road Windsor, CT 06095-0500 (iv) iVature ofthe defect orfailure to comply and the safety hazard which is created or could be created by such defect or failure to comply:

The defect identified involves the incorrect modeling of the reactor vessel lower plenum volume in the BISON code. The defect caused the BISON code model to have a lower plenum volume approximately twice its proper size. This incorrect modeling has the potential to lead to calculation of non-conservative MCPR Operating Limits in some situations.

(v) The date on which the information ofsuch defect or failure to comply was obtained:

ABB-CE determined that a defect in the BISON code existed on January 14. 1999.

(i) Name and address ofthe individuals informing the Commission:

lan C. Rickard, Director Nuclear Licensing Combustion Engineering, Inc.

2000 Day Hill Road Windsor, CT 06095-0500 (ii) Identification ofthe facility, the activity, or the basic component supplied for suclt facility or suclt activity within the United States which fails to comply or contains a defect:

The activity for which this report is being filed is the establishment of non-conservative MCPR Operating Limits for the Washington Public Power Supply System Nuclear Project Unit 2 (WNP-2) nuclear power plant during Cycles 12, 13, and 14 operation.

(iii) Identification oftlte firm constructing the facility or supplying the basic component which fails to comply or contains a defect:

2000 Day Hill Road Windsor, CT 06095-0500 (iv) Nature ofthe defect or failure to comply and tlte safety hazard whiclt is created or could be created by such defect or failure to comply:

The defect identified involves the incorrect modeling of the reactor vessel lower plenum volume in the BISON code. The defect caused the BISON code model to have a lower plenum volume approximately twice its proper size. This incorrect modeling has the potential to lead to calculation of non-conservative MCPR Operating Limits in some situations.

(v) The date on which tlteinformation ofsuch defect or failure to comply was obtained:

ABB-CE determined that a defect in the BISON code existed on January 14, 1999.

Enclosure to LD-99-002 Page2of2 (vi), In the case ofa basic component wltich contains a defect or fails to comply, the number and location ofall such components in use at, supplied for, or being supplied for one or more facilities or activities subject to the regulations in this part:

The BISON computer code is a proprietary ABB Atom AB program used by ABB-CE for performing BWR safety analyses for U.S. customers. The defect applies only to reload fuel assemblies currently in operation at WNP-2.

(vii) The corrective action wlticlt has been, is being, or willbe taken; the name ofthe individual or organization responsible for the action; and the length oftime tltat has been or willbe taken to complete the action:

An evaluation of the defect has been performed by ABB-CE. The results of that evaluation show that there is no safety problem at WNP-2 for operation of the previous Cycles 12 and 13 and its current Cycle 14 operating state (Normal Scram Speed, Recirculation Pump Trip operable, and Turbine Bypass operable) prior to 5,000 MWd/MTU. That is, the established MCPR Operating Limits currently in the plant technical specifications for this operating state provide adequate protection. However, certain MCPR Operating Limits for other operating states prior to 5,000 MWd/MTU and all operating states after 5,000 MWd/MTU for WNP-2 Cycle 14 must be increased to accommodate the defect. The utility currently projects that WNP-2 will reach 5,000 MWd/MTU in early 1999. ABB-CE has notified the Washington Public Power Supply System of the necessary changes to the WNP-2 MCPR Operating Limits.

The BISON code model for WNP-2 has been revised to correct the error. All ABB-CE BWR fuel users have been notified of this condition.

(viii) Any advice related to the defect or failure to comply about the facility, activity, or basic component that has been, is being, or willbe given to purchasers or licensees:

The Washington Public Power Supply System has been notified of the defect and has been provided with revised MCPR Operating Limits for WNP-2.

SUMMARY

OF MEETING WITH ENERGY NORTHWEST REGARDING THE PROPOSED SECONDARY CONTAINMENT/STANDBYGAS TREATMENT SUBMITTAL On January 27, 2000, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff met with representatives of Energy Northwest to discuss the upcoming secondary containment/standby gas treatment license amendment submittal. The proposed changes would revise the following:

SR 3.6.1.3.10 increases the secondary containment bypass leakage from .74 standard cubic feet per hour (scfh) to .028 percent/day approximately 9.4 scfh.

SR 3.6.4.1.1 change the requirement to verify secondary containment pressure is less than .25 inch vacuum water gage to less than 0 inch vacuum water gage.

SR 3.6.4.1.4 increase the secondary containment drawdown time from 2 minutes to 20 minutes.

TS 5.5.7 increase the standby gas treatment system flow rate to 5000 cubic feet per minute (cfm).

Energy Northwest withdrew a similar amendment request in July 1999, when the staff identified a calculation error in determining containment release concentration. Due to the extensive review required of the previous submittal, both the staff and the licensee felt that a meeting to discuss the upcoming submittal would be beneficial in shortening the review and avoiding unnecessary requests for additional information.

In order to improve efficiency the same NRC staff members who were involved in the final review for the first submittal were at the meeting and will review the second submittal.

Enclosure 1 is a list of the meeting participants. Enclosure 2 is a copy of the slides presented by Energy Northwest.

At the outset of the meeting, Mr. John Arbuckle of Energy Northwest presented an overview of the submittal. The emphasis was on how this submittal has changed from the previous submittal. This submittal includes meteorological data and atmospheric dispersion calculations (X/Q calculations). Leta Brown, of the NRC staff, suggested that it would be useful if the X/Q calculations and an electronic version of the meteorological data were provided for staff review.

Mr. David Studley of Scientech discussed the X/Q calculations including the four release points and the control room intakes. The discussion also covered the application of ARGON 96 Code and the assumptions that were made. The description of the site configuration and of the Oo @~~It" ~48KFiX gfjP"

~ . ~

control room intakes were useful to the staff in understanding the assumptions that were made.

The staff expressed a concern with the vent option used in the ARCON 96 Code that was used to calculate some of the control room atmospheric dispersion factors. It was suggested that an acceptable solution would be to recalculate the vent run cases as a ground release option using ARGON 96.

'r.

Bruce Boyum of Energy Northwest discussed the accidents that were analyzed specifically, main steam line break accident, fuel handling accident, control rod drop accident and loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA). Mr. Boyum stated that the LOCA was the bounding accident.

Mr. Mark Blumberg,'of the NRC staff, stated that it would be useful to include the calculations for the LOCA analysis and include sufficient informatiori on other accidents so that it can be determined that the LOCA is the bounding accident.

Mr. Studley described the Axident Code, which is the dose analysis code used in the submittal.

The Axident Code models the transport of radioactivity to the environment and to the control room. The major assumptions and the reasons for them were discussed.

Mr. Boyum also discussed the release pathways including the use of the Gothic Code to justify the 40 percent mixing assumed in secondary containment. Mr. Richard Lobel, of the NRC staff, said the proposed submittal should include a description of the derivation and use of the flow equation which is the basis for Figure 4 of Attachment 2 to the licensee's October 15, 1996, submittal. In addition, the staff may request input used in reactor building pressure drawdown calculations so that the staff may perform independent calculations. A final decision has not been made.

Mr. Boyum then discussed control room air flows and unfiltered control room in-leakage.

Mr. Blumberg stated that licensees have had to verify their unfiltered in-leakage assumptions.

The ASTM E741, "Standard Test Methods for Determining Air Change in a Single Zone by Means of a Tracer Gas Dilution," test method is acceptable to the staff as a verification test for unfiltered in-leakage. The licensee could describe their design and propose an alternative test method that would have to be reviewed and approved by the staff.

The NRC staff felt that Energy Northwest did a good job explaining their submittal and that they were receptive to suggestions from the staff.

Code Includes the time Dependent Effects of Containment Sprays, Recirculation, Purge and Intake Filters, Atmospheric Dispersion, Natural Decay, etc. The Code is Based on the Explicit Solution of the Integrated Activity in a Receptor Volume.

AXIDENT CODE Industry Experience/Usage of the AXIDENTCode Developed in the early 70's to Support the Licensing and Licensing Reviews of both U.S. and international Commercial Nuclear Power Plants. Developed to fill the Void in Codes Available to Assess the Emerging Issue at the time Control Room Habitability.

General lndust Usa e

~ Used to Support Licensing Submittals in the 70's Used for a Number of Plants in Support of the Post-TMI Action Item

~ Used Throughout the 80's and 90's to Resolve Control Room Habitability and Accident Analyses Issues

AXIDENT CODE SCIENTECH Experience Successfully Benchmarked the Previous Results Generated by other Codes which Compute the Integrated/exact Solution (i.e.,

Bechtel's LOCADOSE and S&L's PostDBA)

Over the Years, Thousands of Cases have been run on the AXIDENTCode. In all Cases, the Results have Trended as Expected. The Results have also Consistently been in Close Agreement with the Steady State Murphy/Campe Equations.

SUBJECT:

INVITATIONTO DISCUSSION OF PILOT PROGRAM RESULTS

Dear Mr. Parrtsh:

On May 30, 1999, we initiated a pilot of the risk-informed baseline inspection program at Cooper Nuclear Station and Fort Calhoun Station. The pilot program is scheduled to end November 27. On December 1, 1999, the NRC will meet with Omaha Public Power District and Nebraska Public Power District to discuss their perceptions and lessons learned gathered during the pilot program. You will find the details of the meeting documented in the enclosed meeting notice.

Although the meeting is between the NRC and members of the pilot plant staffs, we will be discussing topics that may be of interest to your organization. This meeting will be open to public observation. Following the meeting, the discussion will be opened for comments and questions from observers. We would entertain and welcome your participation at that time.

Should you have any questions on this inspection plan, please contact Charles Marschall at

~ (817) 860-8185 or David Loveless at (817) 860-81 61.

Sincerely, gals'@zPdK Charles S. Marschall, Chief Project'Branch C Division of Reactor Projects Docket No.: 50-397 License No.: NPF-21
