SUMMARY
- REGULATORY CONFERENCE WITH ENTERGY OPERATIONS, INC. FOR WATERFORD STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNIT 3
Dear Mr. Chisum:
This refers to the Category 1 meeting conducted on April 7, 2015, in Arlington, Texas. The purpose of this meeting was to allow representatives of Entergy Operations, Inc., the licensee for Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3, to meet with U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) personnel to discuss their position with regard to the preliminary Greater-than-Green finding and associated apparent violation. The apparent violation of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," was associated with through-wall corrosion of vent piping for the emergency diesel generator fuel oil day tanks. The holes En these vent pipes could allow water to enter the day tanks and contaminate the diesel fuel oil, challenging the operability and functionality of both safety-related emergency diesel generators. The apparent violation is discussed in NRC Inspection Report 05000382/2014007, dated January 22, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15022A637).
During the meeting, Entergy Operations, Inc., representatives provided an assessment of the significance of the finding, their root cause evaluation and corrective actions, and the results of tests they conducted on the effects of water contamination of the diesel fuel oil. A member of the public asked questions about why it took the NRC so long to identify the issue, the effect a clogged roof drain would have, and the probability of a loss of offsite power event. The Region IV Regional Administrator responded to these questions.
A list of attendees and a copy of the presentation handouts are enclosed.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Coofe of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390, "Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding," a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC's Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible
M. Chisum from the NRC Web site at httD://www.nrc.aov/readina-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
Sincerely, IRfiJ Thomas R. Farnholtz, Chief Engineering Branch 1 Division of Reactor Safety Docket No. 50-382 License No. NPF-38

Water Tolerance Testing G Waterford EDG Characteristics to Maintain in Test System
- Delivery of water to engine 0 Engine combustion conditions
° Engine loading during a LOOP e Approach 0 Full Scale Testing at Sumner Municipal Light Plant (SMLP) in Sumner. IA 0 12 cylinder Cooper-Bessemer KSV Engine similar to the 16 cylinder Cooper-Bessemer KSV engines at Waterford 9 Duplicate Waterford fuel delivery skid at Sumner
Water Tolerance Testing
- 1. Delivery of Water Duplicate Waterford Fuel Supply System.
to the Engine Maintain fuel (and water) flow rates through system the same as at Waterford by: (1) scaling the load profile, and (2) providing takeoff from header to simulate "missing" four cylinders.
- 2. Engine Use similar Cooper-Bessemer KSV Engine with same bore, stroke, Combustion cylinder liners, pistons, and similar cylinder heads.
Conditions Load SMLP engine at a conservatively greater power per cylinder per cycle (to maintain consistent fuel flow rate).
Fuel Injection System with similar characteristics.
(Waterford: Bendix FDX-22, SMLP: Bendix FDX-22G)
- 3. Engine Loading Use Load Bank to simulate Waterford LOOP load profile (scaled to 12 cylinders).
SMLP governor is slower than the Waterford governor, which results in a conservative measure of the impact on EDG frequency.

. Diesels showed successful operation during 40 GPH trickle test
. Analysis assumes run failure ofdiesels increased by a factor of 10 above 8 in/hr rainfall
. Analysis utilizes 8 in/hr rainfall although 40 GPH is closer to 11 in/hr
. Assumed that a LOOP at Waterford occurs coincident with the highest rainfall event of the year
. Non-Coincident Case
. Diesel showed successfu operation during 7 gallon slug test
. Analysis failed both diesels for rainfall rates above 5.4 in/hr
- No credit assumed in PRAfor restart ofdiesels
