NRC PRESENTATION MEETING ON MAY 17, 2007 WITH WOLF CREEK NUCLEAR OPERATING CORPORATION MAIN STEAM FEEDWATER ISOLATION SYSTEM UPGRADE TIMELINE FOR REVIEW OF LICENSEE'S REQUEST FOR MSFIS UPGRADE LICENSEE'S EMAIL DATED APRIL 6, 2007 NRC STAFF'S EMAILS DATED MAY 1 and 2, 2007 NRC STAFF'S EMAIL DATED MAY 16, 2007 DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE OF THE MSFIS UPGRADE PROJECT

Timeline for Review of Licensee's Request for MSFIS Upgrade:

There was a pre-application review of the MSFIS upgrade, which was requested by the licensee. This involved a meeting held on June 28, 2006, and several conference calls. The pre-application review ended with the licensee's application dated March 14,2007. The staff was not given a list of information to be submitted or a draft application letter as part of the preapplication review. There were slides in the meeting on the project milestones including the phases of the project.

The licensee submitted its application on March 14, 2007, to (1) upgrade the MSFIS, (2) replace the main steam and feedwater isolation valves (MSFIVs), and (3) proposed associated TS changes to the same TSs.

Upon the initial determination of missing information, a table of this information was sent to the licensee, and the licensee addressed this information in its email dated April 6, 2007. (See .)

The licensee submitted a supplemental letter dated April 18, 2007. The letter acknowledged the above email, provided the information that was identified as readily available in the memo, and stated that the other information in the table would be provided as it became available. The licensee did not include its email dated April 5, 2007, in this letter.

After review of the information provided in the letters dated March 14 and April 18, 2007, the staff developed the points of deficiency (missing information) in these letters and these points were sent this to the licensee by emails dated May 1 and 2, 2007. (See Attachment 2.) These points were addressed by the licensee in its letter dated May 9, 2007.

At the time the points of deficiency were sent to the licensee, the licensee requested a meeting with the staff and a meeting was scheduled for May 17, 2007. The meeting notice was issued May 3, 2007 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML071220489). There was a question at the time when the meeting noticed was issued whether in fact the meeting would be needed if the staff was fully in agreement with the licensee's response to the points of deficiency; however, since the licensee's May 9, 2007, letter, it has been determined that the meeting is necessary.

In preparation for the meeting, the staff developed a list of documentation needed for staff review of the proposed MSFIS upgrade. This list is of more documentation than is needed for the staff to begin its review. This was sent to the licensee by email dated May 16, 2007 (See .) The staff wants to understand where the licensee is in the development life cycle of the MSFIS upgrade project (Attachment 4, the licensee's slide No. 16 in the meeting of June 28, 2006) and what of the documentation in the attached list is available or when it would be submitted to the staff.

design process, and is meeting the requirements of 10 CFR? What quality control procedures are being used?"

Your response should have included what you said to me in the weekly call today. That 3rd parties like Nutherm International have already done some audits of CS Innovations. This is why your people stated in the Tuesday call that it was expected that CS Innovations QA was expected to meet Appendix B.

Also, can you not get us the CD(s) with add'l info by Monday, April 16th?

On March 21, 2007, WCNOC received an e-mail from the NRC Project Manager indicating that WCNOC's license amendment request dated March 14, 2007 (letter ET 07-0004) was missing a significant amount of information to support the review of the application and a telecon was suggested. A general response to the e-mail was provided on March 21, 2007 and WCNOC agreed that a telecon would be beneficial for discussing the level of detail necessary to support the review. A telecon was arranged for April 3, 2007.

Prior to the April 3, 2007 telecon (1:00 CDT), the NRC Project Manager provided by e-mail on April 3, 2007 (at 8:50 AM CDT) a generic list (table) of items that a reviewer would need to complete the review.

This table of items was based on Section 7 of the Standard Review Plan (page 7.0-6) and documents listed in Branch Technical Position HICB-14 (BTP 14), "Guidance on Software Reviews for Digital Computer-Based Instrumentation and Control Systems."

During the telecon on April 3, 2007, WCNOC agreed to provide on April 4, 2007 if the information in the generic list was currently available and if not currently available when it would be available. WCNOC is also providing additional input regarding the complexity of the modification and the level of detail provided in the license amendment request based on information provided by the NRC during the telecon.

  • Complexity of the modification - the reviewer indicated that after an initial review of the application, that WCNOC had changed the design to be more complex and the review would take significantly more time. The reviewer specifically referred to Enclosure 1, Figure 3 that provided the Generic ALS Architecture. The architecture presented in the application is no different than the architecture presented at the WCNOC/NRC meeting on June 28, 2006, in which this same figure was used in the slide presentation by WCNOC. A good portion of the meeting was spent discussing this slide and in particular the Reliable ALS Bus (RAB) and Test ALS Bus (TAB) were discussed. Attendees at the meeting from the NRC included: J. Donohew, A. Howe, P. Rebstock, P. Loeser, N.

Carte, W. Kemper, and M. Waterman.

  • Level of information in the license amendment request -

WCNOC believed that the level of information that was provided in the request would be sufficient to perform the review based on the additional reviews that were to be conducted by the research branch.

WCNOC believed that based on the discussions that had been held with the NRC (in particular the discussion on November 27, 2006) that the bulk of the technical reviews were going to be done by research and that the NRR technical branch would be able to utilize that review to perform an

abbreviated review. WCNOC had recognized that more information would be needed in order for the review to be completed.

WCNOC does not want to belabor these points as we need to move forward and support the NRC staff review in support of the schedule for installing the new MSIVs, MFIVs, and changes to the MSFIS.

The attached file includes a modified table (incorporates a new column) that provides some discussion regarding the information identified by the NRC as being needed and the availability of the information. The generic list identifies documents listed in Branch Technical Position HICB-14, "Guidance on Software Reviews for Digital Computer-Based Instrumentation and Control Systems." As discussed in the license amendment request, the MSFIS control system is based on the Advanced Logic System and does not utilize a microprocessor and therefore has no software component for the operation of the system. However, WCNOC has included in the table references to the ALS design planning documentation, design specific documentation, analysis documentation, verification and validation reports, and installation, operations, and maintenance documentation.

For the supplemental information that has been identified as currently available, WCNOC proposes the following:

1. WCNOC will provide the supplemental information that is currently available electronically on a CD by April 13, 2007. A number of the documents include proprietary information.
2. WCNOC will submit on the WCGS docket the supplemental information provided in item 1 above with the appropriate affidavits by May 4, 2007.

WCNOC also proposes that a working meeting be held the week of May 14, 2007 to go over the supplemental information being provided and to provide supporting details concerning the proposed modification to the MSFIS logic.

Steve Wideman WCNOC Licensing The information contained in this electronic correspondence is informally submitted to the NRC and is not considered as docketed correspondence by Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation (WCNOC).

Should the NRC wish to assign a docket number to this correspondence, WCNOC requests it be contacted to obtain concurrence.

Wolf Creek LAR Problems In general, the initial set of questions in intended to determine if the digital equipment used was designed in accordance with the applicable requirements specified in IEEE 603, as required by 10 CFR 50.55a, and in the General Design Criteria in 10 CFR 50, Appendix A.

Section 7 of the Standard Review Plan, on page 7.0-6, when discussing the system design evaluation, states that the evaluation should be based on:

"The key characteristics, performance requirements, general arrangements, and materials of construction of the systems to confirm there is reasonable assurance the final design will conform to the design bases with adequate margin for safety."

and "The applicant/licensee's analysis and technical justification to show that the I&C system design, including the underlying design bases and performance requirements, can perform appropriate safety functions."

The following are a generic list of items which a reviewer needs to know to understand what the new system is, how it works, what is supposed to do, and how we can determine that the final design will conform to the design bases with adequate margin for safety.

5 Points of Deficiency in the MSFIS Information Provided Upon its review of the licensee's application submittals dated March 14 and April 18, 2007, the NRC staff has determined that there are the following 5 points of deficiency in the information provided. This is information needed for the NRC staff to begin its review of the proposed MSFIS upgrade.

<JND>

Jack..D.n..e.. .. .. ... wpd Page 1 The Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation (WCNOC) provided information in its submittals dated March 14 and April 18, 2007, on its proposed upgrade of the engineered safety feature actuation system (ESFAS) main steam and feedwater isolation system (MSFIS) using field programmable gate array (FPGA) technology..

In the submittals, there appears to be a basic misunderstanding as to the nature of a FPGA based system. In "Nutherm Dedication Plan for Replacement MSFIS System," Nutherm document number WCN-9715DP, the statement is made that "the MSFIS system is not a digital system in the strictest definition as it is not software based ...... ". ALS Level-1 System Specification, CS Innovation document 6000-00000, states "The ALS does not utilize a microprocessor and therefore has no software component for the operation of the system. The concern for software common mode failures is eliminated by incorporating a full hardware system which only uses proven design practices and methodologies for implementation of the hardware."

As is stated in IEEE Std 100-2000, "The Authoritative Dictionary of IEEE Standards Terms," the term "digital" is defined as "pertaining to quantities in the form of discrete, integral values," and a "digital device" is defined as "A device that operates on the basis.of discrete numerical techniques in which the variables are represented by coded pulses or states." A FPGA uses digital values, and is therefore a digital system.

One of the definitions of "software" in the same IEEE standard is "The programs, procedures, rules, and any associated documentation pertaining to the operation of an information processing system." The nature of a FPGA is also that the device is programed to perform its intended functions, and that programing is done using a variety of software tools. While it is true that the output of these tools is used to flash the FPGA into its intended configuration rather than being used as a program to tell a microprocessor what to do, in either case, the device is subject to programing and uses software tools to achieve its design objectives.

Therefore, the licensee would be as capable of changing the FPGA (i.e., by re-flashing the FPGA with new instructions) as it would be capable of changing any information processing system based on software by changing the software. How this "flashing the FPGA" would be done and controlled by the licensee must be explained to the same extent that changing the software of an information processing system would be done and controlled.

Based on the definitions in the IEEE standards and the staff's understanding of FPGA devices, the staff concluded that the FPGA system proposed by the licensee is a digital system and needs to rely on high quality software to meet its design objectives.

Upon its review of the licensee's application submittals dated March 14 and April 18, 2007, the NRC staff has determined that there are the following 5 points of deficiency in the information provided. This is information needed for the NRC staff to begin its review of the proposed MSFIS upgrade.

1. Appendix B Compliance Section IV, on "Procurement Document Control," of Appendix B, 10 CFR Part 50, states:

Measures shall be established to assure that applicable regulatory requirements, design bases, and other requirements which are necessary to assure adequate quality are suitably included or referenced in the documents for procurement of material,

Ja6k'bonohew`-'_D-oc_7'.wpd Page 2 1 Jac Doohw... p ... Pae '

equipment, and services, whether purchased by the applicant or by its contractors or subcontractors. To the extent necessary, procurement documents shall require contractors or subcontractors to provide a quality assurance program consistent with the pertinent provisions of this appendix.

EPRI report TR-1 06439, "Guideline on Evaluation and Acceptance of Commercial Grade Digital Equipment for Nuclear Safety Applications, discusses the commercial grade use of complex digital systems in section 6.4. The example given is for the dedication of programmable logic controllers, but the level of complexity and the processes required is similar. The discussion on identification and verification of critical characteristics states:

"In this case the commercial grade vendor survey is a central part of the dedication. The survey requires extensive interaction with the PLC vendor. Initial contact is made and information obtained to prepare for the survey. Then a one-week visit (typical for a relatively complex device like this one) is made to the manufacturer's site where the bulk of the survey information is collected and evaluation performed. This includes evaluation of the vendor's QA program, digital system development process, verification and validation practices, configuration management program, and problem reporting procedures. In addition, a detailed critical design review of the PLC hardware and software architecture is performed, including evaluation of real-time task processing and robustness of failure management provisions."

Based upon the information provided, EICB could not determine how the proposed FPGA's.

were dedicated for safety related use. Wolf Creek and their vendor, CS Innovations chose to use a highly complex FPGA, the Actel ProASICplus APA600, which has 600,000 system gates, 128K onboard memory, 21,504 registers, and an I/O capacity of 356.

The licensee has provided two documents, "Nutherm Qualification Report for CS Innovations Replacement MSFIS System," Nutherm document number WCN-9715R, and "Nutherm Dedication Plan for Replacement MSFIS System," Nutherm document number WCN-9715DP.

The qualifications report discusses only the physical qualification of the FPGA, such as temperature, seismic, and EMI, but does not discuss the quality of design and fabrication of the actual FPGA, The second document, the Nutherm Dedication Plan, requires a commercial grade dedication process, but the licensee did not provide documentation of what was done.

For example, there is no indication in the documentation provided that a vendor survey was conducted when selecting the Actel ProASICplus APA600 for use in this system, or that any commercial grade dedication was done. Based on the requirements in 10 CFR Appendix B and EPRI report TR-106439, the staff would have expected to see documentation of a vendor survey, with an analysis of the Actel quality control and any existing documentation of previous qualifications of the Actel ProASICplus APA600. Without this information, the staff is unable to determine if the Actel ProASICplus APA600 is a suitable device to use in this application.

2. Acceptable Method Per Regulatory Guide 1.152 Regulatory Guide 1.152, "Criteria for Use of Computers in Safety Systems Of Nuclear Power Plants," endorses IEEE 7-4.3.2, "IEEE Standard Criteria for Digital Computers in Safety Systems of Nuclear Power Generating Stations," as a method that the staff has found acceptable for complying with the Commission's. regulations for promoting high functional reliability, design quality, and cyber-security. IEEE 7-4.3.2 cites the used of verification and validation as necessary to meet quality requirements.

I Jack Donohew - DocT.wpd Page 3 1 The licensee, in the original submittal of March 14, 2007, provided the Wolf Creek MSFIS System Verification and Validation Plan. The licensee did not provide the V&V plans for the design contractor, CS Innovation; the qualification contractor, Nutherm; or the V&V consultant.

None of the V&V plan outputs were provided. Without this information, the staff is unable to determine what V&V was actually done, whether this level of V&V is adequate, or if the V&V was done correctly.

3. IEEE 7-4.3.2, section 5.3.2, Compliance IEEE 7-4.3.2, section 5.3.2, "Software Tools," states that a) a test tool validation program shall be developed to provide confidence that the necessary features of the software tool function as required, or that b) the software tool shall be used in a manner such that defects not detected by the software tool will be detected by V&V activities.

The licensee has provided a list of software tools used in the development of the proposed FPGA The list includes:

FPGA design tool: Libero Integrated Design Environment Version 7.1sp2" for Windows XP platform.

Simulation Tool: ModelSim 6.1 b Actel Edition produced by Mentor Graphics Synthesis Tool: Synplify 8.5F Actel Edition produced by Synplicity Place-and-Route Tool: Actel Designer Version 7.2.3.2 Programming (Flashing) Tool: Actel FlashPro Version 7.1.0.13 together with FlashPro LITE programming adaptor Schematic Capture Tool: Altium Designer Version 6.6.7903 PCB Layout Tool: Altium Designer Version 6.6.7903 Gerber Analysis Tool: Altium Designer Version 6.6.7903 Analog Circuit Simulation Tool: SIMetrix Circuit Simulation Version There is no indication in the documentation provided how the criteria contained in IEEE 7-4.3.2, section 5.3.2 were met. In addition, there is no documentation on how those software tools were dedicated for safety related use in a nuclear power plant.

4. IEEE 603-1991 Compliance 10 CFR 50.55.a(h) requires compliance with IEEE 603-1991. -This standard, in section 5.3, "Quality," requires that components and modules "shall be of a quality that is consistent with minimum maintenance requirements and low failure rates. Safety system equipment shall be designed, manufactured, inspected, installed, tested, operated, and maintained in accordance with a prescribed quality assurance program." 10 CFR Appendix B requires a "quality assurance program to be applied to the design, fabrication, construction, and testing of the

Jack .Dono'hew - Doc7.wpd Page 4 structures, systems, and components of the facility." It also states that "the applicant may delegate to others, such as contractors, agents, or consultants, the work of establishing and executing the quality assurance program, or any part thereof, but shall retain responsibility therefor."

The licensee provided the Wolf Creek "MSFIS Quality Assurance Plan" and the "MSFIS Configuration Management Plan," but these plans show how the quality assurance and configuration management will be conducted after the completed FPGA is accepted by the licensee. Neither of these documents discuss the quality assurance and configuration management methods used by the system developer, CS Innovation, during the design and implementation phases of the life cycle. Based on the information submitted, EICB could not determine if an 10 CFR 50 Appendix B quality assurance program was used during the design process, or if any quality control was used.

5. Acceptable Method Per Branch Technical Position 14 The Standard Review Plan, NUREG-0800, Chapter 7, Branch Technical Position 14 (BTP-14),

"Guidance on Software Reviews for Digital Computer-Based Instrumentation and Control Systems," shows an acceptable method for the software development process to meet the quality requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B. A number of documents are to be reviewed by NRC staff to meet the review criteria of BTP 14. Enclosure 1 to this memorandum lists these documents, the Wolf Creek comment or commitment, and the EICB analysis of that comment or commitment. EICB finds that a number of documents which should have been prepared at this point in the design process are not yet available. Overall, the incomplete nature of the documentation does not provide a record for review by NRC that demonstrates that CS Innovation is using a high quality design process, or that Wolf Creek has been monitoring their contractor to assure this required high quality. In addition, Wolf Creek has stated that since the FPGA is not a software based system, a number of these documents are not required. In fact, the FPGA relies on software for one-time programing by flashing a particular pattern of links rather than repeatedly providing instructions for a microprocessor. This type of device is just as program driven as a microprocessor device, including that the FPGA chosen by Wolf Creek is re-programable, similar to the reprogramming capability of microprocessor based systems, by re-flashing the FPGA. Accordingly, the staff needs to review the process that was used to develop the FPGA flash list to evaluate the adequacy of the FPGA programing.

Attached List of Documentation Needed for Staff Review of MSFIS Upgrade Attached is the list of information that the NRC staff will hand out in the meeting on May 17, 2007. It is the list of documentation needed for the staff review of the proposed upgrade of the safety-related Main Steam and Feedwater Isolation System (MSFIS). This list is of more documentation than is needed for the staff to begin its review. The staff wants to understand where the licensee is in the development life cycle of the project (licensee's slide No. 16 in the meeting of June 28, 2006) and what of the documentation in the attached, list is available or when it would be submitted.

<JND>

DOCUMENTATION NEEDED FOR STAFF REVIEW OF THE WOLF CREEK MSFIS ACTUATION SYSTEM The following documentation is required for the staff to determine if the specification, design, development, test, production, verification and validation, and commercial grade dedication processes were of sufficient high quality to result in a product useable in a safety-related application at a nuclear power plant.

It is understood that each of the documents listed below may not be an independent document, and that several of these documents may be combined, or that the information required may be contained in several documents. If this is the case, it is requested that the licensee provide a reference document showing where the various information may be found.

It is also understood that some documentation, particularly that concerning the later stages of the life cycle process, may not yet be completed and reviewed. In those cases, the staff will require a schedule for submission of these documents. It is expected, however, that planning documentation and procedures for activities already performed will be available.

1. Commercial Grade Dedication process:

The staff needs to understand how the commercial grade dedication process is being accomplished. In this regard, the staff requires:

A) The documentation on the selection of Nutherm International as the Appendix B commercial grade dedication contractor. This should include the determination that Nutherm International has the personnel and experience necessary to perform this type of commercial grade dedication.

B) The documentation on the selection of Baseline Engineering as the independent Verification & Validation contractor, including the determination that Baseline Engineering has the personnel and experience necessary to perform verification and validation of a process resulting in a product intended for safety related use in a nuclear power plan, and that this product would be the equivalent of a product designed and manufactured under an Appendix B process.

C) The documentation on the selection of CS Innovations as the commercial grade design and manufacturing contractor, showing that CS Innovations has the personnel and experience necessary to perform this type of design, and why the licensee believed this design would be capable of commercial grade dedication to be the equivalent of a product designed and manufactured under an Appendix B process.

D) The Development Plan used by the licensee which shows how the licensee will monitor the activities of CS Innovations, Baseline Engineering, and Nutherm International during the life cycle that will be used in this project, and the method to be used by the licensee to determine that the design and commercial grade dedication process are sufficient to assure that the final product is suitable for safety related use in a nuclear power plan, and that this product would be the equivalent of a product designed and manufactured under an Appendix B process.

8. Test Plan Development of a test plan is a V&V activity, therefore the staff requires:

A) The Baseline Engineering test plans for the factory and site acceptance tests and for installation tests.

B) The CS Innovations test plans for design tests.

C) The documentation of the Nutherm International review of the test plan.

9. Installation Plan This plan would be specific to the Wolf Creek site, and would be produced by the licensee. There may be input to this plan from the system designer, CS Innovations.
10. Maintenance plan This plan would be specific to the Wolf Creek site, and would be produced by the licensee. This plan should discuss the methods and responsibilities involved with the possible future modifications of the MSFIS actuation system, requirements for documentation and reporting of failures, and requirements for regression testing of any future modifications. These plan may consist of two parts. The first part concerns the those actions by the licensee to maintain the system design, and a second part may be required if the licensee relies on the system vendor to perform certain maintenance functions. The second part would consist of the vendor's plans and procedures. For this reason, there may be input to this plan from CS Innovations and Nutherm International.
11. Safety Plan While a FPGA based system does not have software, it does have a burn or flash list, the correctness of which will determine the proper operation of the FPGA based system.

This burn or flash list is generated using a variety of software tools, in a manner somewhat analogous to the tools used to generate the operational software of a microprocessor based system. For this reason, the staff requires a safety plan which will have some of the characteristics of a software safety plan. There should be three safety plans:

A) The CS Innovations safety plan which describes the safety effort, how the safety activities are coordinated with the development activities, and the interactions between the safety organization and the V&V organization. This plan also needs to discuss the methods to be used to reduce safety risks caused by failures of the various software tools to an acceptable level. The safety plan should include a requirement that a safety analysis be performed and documented on each of the principal design documents:

requirements, design descriptions, and burn or flash list. Hazards, including abnormal events and conditions and malicious modifications, should be analyzed and documented. Hazard reduction efforts should be documented.

B) The Nutherm International safety plan, which shows that commercial grade dedication of a product designed and built to commercial standards and using commercial processes does not increase the safety risks.

C) The licensees evaluation and acceptance of the CS Innovations and Nutherm International safety plans.

12. Requirements Specifications The staff has received the Wolf Creek Specification J-105A(Q) for Replacement MSFIS System. At this time, the staff does not believe there any additional requirements specifications are required.
13. Requirement Traceability Matrix.

The staff requires a Requirement Traceability Matrix for those portions of the design already done, and a schedule for the remainder of the Requirement Traceability Matrix.

14. Design Specifications The staff has received the CS Innovations ALS Level-1 System Specification, revision 1.0. At this time, the staff does not believe there any additional design specifications are required.
15. Detailed Architecture Description The staff review will require not only the description, but the reviews which determined the design is suitable.

A) The CS Innovations detailed architecture description. This need to include the system description, processor subsystem, input/output subsystem, test subsystem, and any other subsystems as needed. These descriptions should not only be of the electronic part of the system, but also a Physical description discussing cabinets used, I/O cabling, interconnect wiring, and general layout.

B) The Nutherm International evaluation of the detailed architecture description, and the reasoning behind the decision that the CS Innovations final product is suitable for safety related use in a nuclear power plan, and that this product would be the equivalent of a product designed and manufactured under an Appendix B process.

C) The licensees evaluation and acceptance of the CS Innovations architecture and of the Nutherm International review of that architecture.
