NuScale Supplemental Response to NRC Request for Additional Information eRAI No. 9135 NuScale Power, LLC 1100 NE Circle Blvd., Suite 200 Corvalis, Oregon 97330, Office: 541.360.0500, Fax: 541.207.3928 www.nuscalepower.com
 
Response to Request for Additional Information Docket No. 52-048 eRAI No.: 9135 Date of RAI Issue: 09/29/2017 NRC Question No.: 14.03.03-5 The NRC regulations in 10 CFR 52.47(b)(1) require that a design certification application contain the inspections, tests, analyses, and acceptance criteria (ITAAC) that are necessary and sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that, if the inspections, tests, and analyses are performed and the acceptance criteria met, a plant that incorporates the design certification is built and will operate in accordance with the design certification, the provisions of the Atomic Energy Act, and the NRC's regulations. The ITAAC proposed in the NuScale FSAR Tier 1, Section 2.1, NuScale Power Module, Section 2.2, Chemical and Volume Control System, and Section 2.4, Turbine Generator System, do not include ITAAC to verify the functional arrangement or installed configuration of the applicable systems and components. See June 21, 2016, transmittal letter providing additional standardized ITAAC, ADAMS Accession No. ML16160A179). Verification of the installed configuration of a system includes verifying that the system and its components are installed in a manner that supports the safety functions for which the system is intended, consistent with procurement, construction, and installation specifications. This verification should include visual inspection (e.g., walkdown) of the system, including its flowpath, and may be performed in conjunction with other preoperational activities.
Examples of the verification performed by the licensee to complete this ITAAC include confirmation of valve orientation, verification of adequate access for inservice inspection (ISI) and inservice testing (IST) activities, and confirmation that interferences are avoided. The Design Commitment of these ITAAC should specify that the installed configuration of the system, including its flowpath, is consistent with procurement, construction, and installation specifications such that the systems safety functions can be achieved. The ITA should specify that inspection of the as-built system will be performed to verify the installed configuration, including the flowpath. The Acceptance Criteria should specify that the systems installed configuration, including the flowpath, of the components listed in the applicable ITAAC table is consistent with procurement, construction, and installation specifications such that the systems NuScale Nonproprietary
 
safety functions can be achieved. As discussed above, the NRC staff requests that the NuScale design certification applicant include proposed ITAAC to verify the functional arrangement or installed configuration of the applicable systems and components in NuScale FSAR Tier 1, Section 2.1, 2.2, and 2.4.
NuScale Response:
It is NuScales position that the as-built verification of the NRC-proposed ITAAC would require the same as-built data or a subset of the as-built data already compiled and required by the existing ITAAC which is compiled below in Table 2, Verification of NuScale As-built Safety-Related Valve Attributes. Therefore, NuScale concludes that the additional, proposed ITAAC is redundant and unnecessary as discussed below.
 
===Background===
In RAI 9135, question 14.03.03-5, Supplement 1, the NRC proposed the following Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria (ITAAC) for the NuScale Power Module (NPM) and chemical and volume control system (CVCS) safety-related valves.

The installed configuration of    An inspection of the installed    The installed configuration of the CVCS valves and their          CVCS valves and their electric    the CVCS valves and their electric and supply lines is      and supply lines will be          electric and supply lines is consistent with their              performed following                consistent with their NuScale Nonproprietary
 
installation specifications such  installation of the NPM into its installation specifications for that each valves safety          operating position in the        geometric configuration, functions can be achieved          reactor pool to verify their    orientation, accessibility, and appropriate installation        line routing (including twisting, configuration.                  bend radii, crimping, and support) such that each valves safety functions can be achieved.
Valves and associated piping that provide a safety-function are contained in the containment system (CNTS), decay heat removal system (DHRS), emergency core cooling system (ECCS) or CVCS. Containment system, DHRS and ECCS valves and associated piping that provide a safety-function are located on the NPM as shown in Tier 2 Figure 6.6-1: ASME Class Boundaries for NuScale Power Module Piping Systems. Valve design attributes of the safety-related valves are listed in Table 1.
The acceptance criteria for the ITAAC proposed for safety-related valves requires verification of the following design attributes.
* valve geometric configuration
* valve orientation
* accessibility
* line routing (including twisting, bend radii, crimping, and support)
* electrical supply to valves Discussion of NRC-proposed ITAAC acceptance criteria
* Although equipment accessibility is addressed in the design of safety-related valves, standardized ITAAC does not consider valve accessibility to be a top-tier design feature that requires ITAAC to provide a reasonable assurance finding of the valves safety function. The NuScale Design Reliability Assurance Program (D-RAP) process identifies multiple equipment access functions but the functions are all classified as nonsafety-related.
NuScale Nonproprietary
* The line routing acceptance criteria are interpreted to mean attributes of the tubing connecting valve sub-components of CNTS, DHR and ECCS safety-related valves. The requirement to verify twisting and crimping of line routing is a partial verification that the tubing is not damaged. The verification of all ITAAC inherently requires verification that the installed equipment is not damaged and thus twisting and crimping or verification of any damage is not explicitly stated in standardized ITAAC or NuScale ITAAC.
With consideration of the above discussion, Tier 1 already contains ITAAC that satisfy the acceptance criteria of the proposed ITAAC. The remainder of this response provides justification that any as-built data of safety-related valves required to verify the acceptance criteria of the proposed ITAAC is redundant to as-built data to verify existing NuScale ITAAC.
To assist in the discussion, Table 1, NuScale Safety-Related Valve Design Attributes, identifies the population and specific design attributes of NuScale safety-related valves. Each CNTS, DHRS, ECCS and CVCS safety-related main valve is listed as well as distinct valve subcomponents of CNTS, DHRS, and ECCS valves. As noted in Table 1, the valve position indication of each safety-related valve is classified as nonsafety-related. Thus, the NRC-proposed ITAAC does not require verification of the NPM and CVCS valves position indication for they do not provide a safety function. For completeness, the PAM classification of each safety-related valve position is provided in Table 1 because Table 2, Verification of NuScale As-built Safety-Related Valve Attributes, identifies existing ITAAC to verify the position indication of PAM B or C variables. The CIV valve positon indication is PAM B and PAM C as listed in Tier 2 Table 7.1-7 and Tier 1 Table 2.5-5. Table 2 provides the ITAAC for the CIV position indication.
Table 1 lists the safety-related valves that receive Class 1E power wiring. This feature is important because the ITAAC related to verification of Class 1E power wiring is contained in Table 2.
Table 2 contains a listing of the major subcomponents of each NuScale safety-related valve. For each subcomponent, the table provides the following:
* The existing as-built ITAAC required to verify design attributes of each safety-related valve subcomponent.
* The existing testing ITAAC required to verify the overall operation of each safety-related valve. These ITAAC tests provide additional assurance that the integrated operation of each safety-related valve satisfies the valves safety-related functions.

Summary of response:
It is NuScale's position that the as-built verification of the NRC-proposed ITAAC would require the same as-built "data" or a subset of the as-built "data" already compiled and required by the existing NuScale ITAAC contained in Table 2 above. Therefore, the additional NRC-proposed ITAAC is redundant and unnecessary.

Response to Request for Additional Information Docket No.52-048 eRAI No.: 9135 Date of RAI Issue: 09/29/2017 NRC Question No.: 14.03.03-5 The NRC regulations in 10 CFR 52.47(b)(1) require that a design certification application contain the inspections, tests, analyses, and acceptance criteria (ITAAC) that are necessary and sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that, if the inspections, tests, and analyses are performed and the acceptance criteria met, a plant that incorporates the design certification is built and will operate in accordance with the design certification, the provisions of the Atomic Energy Act, and the NRC's regulations. The ITAAC proposed in the NuScale FSAR Tier 1, Section 2.1, NuScale Power Module, Section 2.2, Chemical and Volume Control System, and Section 2.4, Turbine Generator System, do not include ITAAC to verify the functional arrangement or installed configuration of the applicable systems and components. See June 21, 2016, transmittal letter providing additional standardized ITAAC, ADAMS Accession No. ML16160A179). Verification of the installed configuration of a system includes verifying that the system and its components are installed in a manner that supports the safety functions for which the system is intended, consistent with procurement, construction, and installation specifications. This verification should include visual inspection (e.g., walkdown) of the system, including its flowpath, and may be performed in conjunction with other preoperational activities.

Examples of the verification performed by the licensee to complete this ITAAC include confirmation of valve orientation, verification of adequate access for inservice inspection (ISI) and inservice testing (IST) activities, and confirmation that interferences are avoided. The Design Commitment of these ITAAC should specify that the installed configuration of the system, including its flowpath, is consistent with procurement, construction, and installation specifications such that the systems safety functions can be achieved. The ITA should specify that inspection of the as-built system will be performed to verify the installed configuration, including the flowpath. The Acceptance Criteria should specify that the systems installed configuration, including the flowpath, of the components listed in the applicable ITAAC table is consistent with procurement, construction, and installation specifications such that the systems NuScale Nonproprietary

safety functions can be achieved. As discussed above, the NRC staff requests that the NuScale design certification applicant include proposed ITAAC to verify the functional arrangement or installed configuration of the applicable systems and components in NuScale FSAR Tier 1, Section 2.1, 2.2, and 2.4.

NuScale Response:

It is NuScales position that the as-built verification of the NRC-proposed ITAAC would require the same as-built data or a subset of the as-built data already compiled and required by the existing ITAAC which is compiled below in Table 2, Verification of NuScale As-built Safety-Related Valve Attributes. Therefore, NuScale concludes that the additional, proposed ITAAC is redundant and unnecessary as discussed below.

Background

In RAI 9135, question 14.03.03-5, Supplement 1, the NRC proposed the following Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria (ITAAC) for the NuScale Power Module (NPM) and chemical and volume control system (CVCS) safety-related valves.

Design Commitment Inspection, Test, and Analysis Acceptance Criteria The installed configuration of An inspection of the installed The installed configuration of the NPM valves and their NPM valves and their electric the NPM valves and their electric and supply lines is and supply lines will be electric and supply lines is consistent with their performed following consistent with their installation specifications such installation of the NPM into its installation specifications for that each valves safety operating position in the geometric configuration, functions can be achieved reactor pool to verify their orientation, accessibility, and appropriate installation line routing (including twisting, configuration. bend radii, crimping, and support) such that each valves safety functions can be achieved.

The installed configuration of An inspection of the installed The installed configuration of the CVCS valves and their CVCS valves and their electric the CVCS valves and their electric and supply lines is and supply lines will be electric and supply lines is consistent with their performed following consistent with their NuScale Nonproprietary

installation specifications such installation of the NPM into its installation specifications for that each valves safety operating position in the geometric configuration, functions can be achieved reactor pool to verify their orientation, accessibility, and appropriate installation line routing (including twisting, configuration. bend radii, crimping, and support) such that each valves safety functions can be achieved.

Valves and associated piping that provide a safety-function are contained in the containment system (CNTS), decay heat removal system (DHRS), emergency core cooling system (ECCS) or CVCS. Containment system, DHRS and ECCS valves and associated piping that provide a safety-function are located on the NPM as shown in Tier 2 Figure 6.6-1: ASME Class Boundaries for NuScale Power Module Piping Systems. Valve design attributes of the safety-related valves are listed in Table 1.

The acceptance criteria for the ITAAC proposed for safety-related valves requires verification of the following design attributes.

  • valve geometric configuration
  • valve orientation
  • accessibility
  • line routing (including twisting, bend radii, crimping, and support)
  • electrical supply to valves Discussion of NRC-proposed ITAAC acceptance criteria
  • Although equipment accessibility is addressed in the design of safety-related valves, standardized ITAAC does not consider valve accessibility to be a top-tier design feature that requires ITAAC to provide a reasonable assurance finding of the valves safety function. The NuScale Design Reliability Assurance Program (D-RAP) process identifies multiple equipment access functions but the functions are all classified as nonsafety-related.

NuScale Nonproprietary

  • The line routing acceptance criteria are interpreted to mean attributes of the tubing connecting valve sub-components of CNTS, DHR and ECCS safety-related valves. The requirement to verify twisting and crimping of line routing is a partial verification that the tubing is not damaged. The verification of all ITAAC inherently requires verification that the installed equipment is not damaged and thus twisting and crimping or verification of any damage is not explicitly stated in standardized ITAAC or NuScale ITAAC.

With consideration of the above discussion, Tier 1 already contains ITAAC that satisfy the acceptance criteria of the proposed ITAAC. The remainder of this response provides justification that any as-built data of safety-related valves required to verify the acceptance criteria of the proposed ITAAC is redundant to as-built data to verify existing NuScale ITAAC.

To assist in the discussion, Table 1, NuScale Safety-Related Valve Design Attributes, identifies the population and specific design attributes of NuScale safety-related valves. Each CNTS, DHRS, ECCS and CVCS safety-related main valve is listed as well as distinct valve subcomponents of CNTS, DHRS, and ECCS valves. As noted in Table 1, the valve position indication of each safety-related valve is classified as nonsafety-related. Thus, the NRC-proposed ITAAC does not require verification of the NPM and CVCS valves position indication for they do not provide a safety function. For completeness, the PAM classification of each safety-related valve position is provided in Table 1 because Table 2, Verification of NuScale As-built Safety-Related Valve Attributes, identifies existing ITAAC to verify the position indication of PAM B or C variables. The CIV valve positon indication is PAM B and PAM C as listed in Tier 2 Table 7.1-7 and Tier 1 Table 2.5-5. Table 2 provides the ITAAC for the CIV position indication.

Table 1 lists the safety-related valves that receive Class 1E power wiring. This feature is important because the ITAAC related to verification of Class 1E power wiring is contained in Table 2.

Table 2 contains a listing of the major subcomponents of each NuScale safety-related valve. For each subcomponent, the table provides the following:

  • The existing as-built ITAAC required to verify design attributes of each safety-related valve subcomponent.
  • The existing testing ITAAC required to verify the overall operation of each safety-related valve. These ITAAC tests provide additional assurance that the integrated operation of each safety-related valve satisfies the valves safety-related functions.

Summary of response:

It is NuScale's position that the as-built verification of the NRC-proposed ITAAC would require the same as-built "data" or a subset of the as-built "data" already compiled and required by the existing NuScale ITAAC contained in Table 2 above. Therefore, the additional NRC-proposed ITAAC is redundant and unnecessary.

Impact on DCA:

There are no impacts to the DCA as a result of this response.
