Requirements within Software Requirements Specification that are referring to NABU-DP-00014-GEN, Rev 2, Design Process for Common Q Safety Systems, have also been reviewed for traceability and compliance. During IV&V's RTA effort the anomaly reports V&V-769 and V&V- 770 have been initiated and reported in the IV&V Phase Summary Report for the System Definition Phase, WNA-VR-00283-WBT, Rev. 0.

IV&V has verified that the requirements in SRS are derived from the specified documents listed in the Document Traceability and Compliance Table of WBN2 PAMS SRS.

There are no transmitters on shared sense lines, such that a sense line failure would impact any combination of the DCS, Rod Control or Main Turbine Electro-Hydraulic Control Systems.

The other systems within the scope of this question are analog and therefore this question is not applicable.

All non-safety control systems have been evaluated against these criteria and TVA has determined that their failure does not have consequences which will put the plant outside chapter 15 analyses.

There is no "fail as-is" scenario. Any failure of a hardware/software component (resulting in processor lock-up) would be immediately annunciated (Main Control Room alarm).

A loss of communication to the MTP, or OM would be annunciated, and the data values on the flat panel display would be displayed in magenta (indicating failure). A hardware/software failure in the PLC (resulting in processor lock-up) would result in an annunciator because of the watchdog alarm circuit associated with the PLC processor module.

A total loss of CERPI indication (e.g., loss of both AC power sources to the rod position cabinets) is possible, but this condition would be immediately annunciated. A complete loss of CERPI indication would lead to entering Technical Specification LCO 3.0.3. A more likely scenario would be loss of a single train of CERPI due to a hardware failure; in which case, there are no technical specification conditions to enter because a single train is capable of providing all rod indications needed for control.

(3) There is no FMEA for the CERPI system.

(4) Control Bank D Automatic Rod Withdrawal Limit would be assured by Operations and control circuitry by the following 2 methods:

a. A simultaneous failure of all indications of the Rod Position Indication System places the plant in LCO 3.0.3, since it would prevent compliance with actions in LCO 3.1.8.

b. CERPI cabinet relays A-KX-18 and B-KX-18 are the PLC controlled components of Rod Withdrawal Limit. The relays are active low requiring power to activate the contacts in the control circuit. Total loss of CERPI will open the contacts and block Automatic Rod Withdrawal.

Additionally, Annunciator window 64F will annunciate to show C-11 BANK D AUTO WITHDRAWAL BLOCKED.

(5) The CERPI Maintenance and Test Panels are used to set the Rod Withdrawal Limit with output signal to ICS as a parallel path. As stated above, the relays are the controlling functions and loss of signal to ICS will not affect the capability of the control circuit to disable the Automatic Rod Withdrawal function. The C-11 interlock is fail safe with regards to loss of power.

(6) The cycle-specific analyses for the static rod misalignment assume full misalignment of an individual rod from the bank position indicator(s). Such a misalignment exceeds that which is possible during plant operations when accounting for the most adverse combination of the rod deviation alarm and uncertainty of the rod position indicator (both 12 steps).

The deviation alarm alerts the operator to rod deviation with respect to group demand position in excess of 12 steps. If the rod deviation alarm is not operable, the operator is required to take action as required by the Technical Specifications.

This change is consistent with FSAR section 4.3.2.2.5, Limiting Power Distributions Page 4.3-13, which states the maximum deviation assumed is 12 steps.

TVA Response to Follow-up NRC Request:

The following response is based on the response in Westinghouse letter WBT-D-2722 Response To Question On CERPI RAI #301 dated December 6, 2010 (Reference 4).

TVA believes the question is related to the statement found in the response submitted on TVA Letter to NRC Watts Bar Nuclear Plant (WBN) Unit 2 - Instrumentation and Controls Staff Information Requests, dated November 24, 2010, (Reference 9) Any failure of a hardware/software component (resulting in processor lock-up) would be immediately annunciated (Main Control Room alarm)

The CERPI system will not annunciate various system alarms if the software is in a lockup condition. However, the system will annunciate an alarm based on the PLC watchdog relay dropping out because the software has locked up the processor. So, even if the PLC locks up, an alarm is generated to alert the operators in the Main Control Room (MCR).

All of the CERPI system alarms (that connect to the plant annunciator system) are wired to specific alarm relays within the CERPI system. With the exception of the watchdog alarm relay, the alarm relay coils are actuated by the PLC Digital Output Module. The plant annunciator wiring connects to either the Normally Open (NO) or the Normally Closed (NC) contacts of the associated alarm relay. The watchdog relay is configured such that when a timeout condition occurs (the PLC locks up), the watchdog relay de-energizes, and a CERPI System Trouble alarm is annunciated in the MCR.
