SUMMARY

OF APRIL 16, 2014, TELECONFERENCE MEETING WITH PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY ON DIGITAL REPLACEMENT OF THE PROCESS PROTECTION SYSTEM PORTION OF THE REACTOR TRIP SYSTEM AND ENGINEERED SAFETY FEATURES ACTUATION SYSTEM AT DIABLO CANYON POWER PLANT, UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 (TAC NOS. ME7522 AND ME7523)

On April16, 2014, a Category 1 teleconference public meeting was held between the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and representatives of Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E, the licensee) at NRC Headquarters, One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland. The purpose of the teleconference meeting was to discuss the license amendment request (LAR) submitted by PG&E on October 26, 2011, for the Digital Replacement of the Process Protection System Portion of the Reactor Trip System and Engineered Safety Features Actuation System at Diablo Canyon Power Plant, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML113070457). A list of attendees is provided in Enclosure 1.

The teleconference meeting is one in a series of publicly noticed meetings that is being held periodically to discuss issues associated with the NRC staff's LAR review. Selected open items that are being tracked for this review were discussed during the teleconference meeting. A complete list of the current open items is provided in Enclosure 2.

Highlights from this meeting on April 16, 2014, include the following:

  • PG&E is in the process of developing responses to an NRC staff Request for Additional Information dated March 31, 2014 (ADAMS Accession No. ML14071A181). These responses are due on April30, 2014, and will address many of the open items in Enclosure 2.
  • The project plan for the review of the LAR (Enclosure 3) was discussed and the major upcoming milestones were confirmed. PG&E is in the process of updating several milestones related to Westinghouse activities and will provide an update to the NRC staff when that information becomes available. The project plan will then be amended as appropriate and discussed at the next public meeting.
  • A draft audit plan for an upcoming NRC audit at lnvensys was discussed (Enclosure 4). PG&E will provide comments for NRC staff consideration prior to issuance of the final version.

Two members of the public were in attendance for the teleconference meeting and no public meeting feedback forms were submitted.

Please direct any inquiries to me at 301-415-2833 or at Peter. Bamford@nrc.gov.

3/28/14 Update:

April 21, 2014 DCPP PPS Open Item Summary Table Page 6 of 18 No Src/RI Issue Description P&GE response: Status RAI No. RAI Comments (Date Sent) Response (Due Date)

Based on Patrick Huang's response:

1) IEEE 344-1975, Section 3.5.3, states that If equipment damping is not known, a value of 5 percent is recommended. Therefore use 5% damping.

Based on the following criteria:

2) IEEE 344-1975, Section 6.6.3.1, states that the TRS envelops the RRS over a frequency range which includes all natural frequencies of the equipment up to 33 Hz. The guidance has been more specifically addressed in IEEE 344-1987 (Endorsed by NRC RG 1.100 Rev. 2),

Section 7.6.3.1.1 0 that it can be shown by a resonance search that no resonance response phenomena exist below 5Hz, it is required to envelop the RRS only down to 3.5 Hz. Excitation must continue to be maintained in the 1 Hz to 3.5 Hz range to the capability of the test facility.

3) According to Draft NTS Report No TR62987-07N-SEI, Revision 0 (Reference 8.9 of Draft TRIGON v1 0 Nuclear Qualification Project ,

Seismic Test Report 9600164-526, Date 04/13/07) Section 6.8, Resonance Survey Results shows that the ETP or Chassis has no resonance occurred below 40 Hz. The TRS did not envelop RRS below 3 Hz meet the above IEEE 344-1975 as well as IEEE 344-1987 criteria.

Therefore, Tricon seismic test response are acceptable.

Based on 2) and 3) above, it can be justified that the Tricon test report is acceptable for the qualification of PCS racks.

The PCS racks are identical to the PPS racks and are in the same location/elevation. Since there are no natural frequencies below 5Hz, you only need to envelop down to 3.5Hz. The resonance survey showed that the natural frequencies were all greater than 40Hz. So the TRS below 3.5Hz does not matter.

Response to follow-up questions:

  • Will you be submitting a revised EQLR-2248 with the new IERS or do you plan to submit the IERS information via some other document?

No, EQLR-2248 is Westinghouse proprietary. We cannot revise their report. We will generate IERS at ALS mounting location to compare with TRS from the EQLR-2248. The new IERS will be documented in the DCPP seismic calculation.

. Also, the EQLR-2248 document is specific to the ALS, so will there be a similar seismic test report for the Tricon?

Yes, Tricon has seismic test report for ETP and chassis per IEEE 344.

  • Will there be a different set of IERS for ALS and Tricon or can the same set of spectra be applied to both subsystems?

Yes, the ALS and Tricon are mounted in the different PPS racks, the IERS are not the same. Since the ALS and Tricon have different seismic test reports, we will compare the TRS with the IERS separately.

Note that 3.2.1.16.5 and 3.2.1.16.6 are "should" and not "shall" since the type of failure is undefined. Some failures could result in the inability of the affected system to place the output in the desired mode.

Part 8: The Functional Requirements Specification does not specify any particular failure mode for analog outputs. If the failure is a loss of power, they will fail low. Other failures are unpredictable making it difficult to assign a fail state that would be applicable in all cases.

Response

Please respond to the following questions:

a) Open item #70, RAI 48, asked how the KVM switching function would be controlled. In the response provided, PG&E only addressed control of the USB ports.

The KVM user guide states control of the switch can be performed using external switching control (RC4 remote, RS-232 or input lines) through the options port. The IRS Rev. 9, item 2.3.7.1 item (1) does not identify that the KVM switch can be controlled remotely. The LAR states that a custom serial cable is required to use the options port.

Please confirm if PG&E expect to use the options port to control the KVM switch.

b) The KVM user guide states the KVM switch can be locked with a password to restrict access to the MWS connected. Please clarify if PG&E will use this feature.

Section 4.14- ASAI-6 of the LAR states that the equipment vendors are required to confirm equipment compliance with physical requirements in the DCPP FRS. These requirements include the EMC requirements from Section 3.1.6 of the FRS which states: "the PPS shall be qualified by test, analysis, or a combination thereof, to function without fault or error in an electromagnetic environment in accordance with the guidance of Regulatory Guide 1.180."

In contrast to this, the Tricon V10 safety evaluation determined that the Tricon V10 PLC system did not fully meet the guidance of RG 1.180, Revision 1, for conducted or radiated emissions or susceptibility. As a result, the SE states: "before using the Tricon V1 0 system equipment in SR systems in a nuclear power plant, licensees must determine that the plant-specific EMI requirements are enveloped by the capabilities of the Tricon V10 system as approved in this SE."

To complete its safety evaluation, the NRC requires the licensee to provide documentation to show the DCPP specific EMI requirements to be enveloped by the Tricon V1 0 test levels achieved and documented in the Tricon V10 safety evaluation.

Enclosure 4 Draft lnvensys Audit Plan

NRC INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL BRANCH DIABLO CANYON DIGITAL PROCESS PROTECTION SYSTEM REGULATORY AUDIT PLAN FOR INVENSYS TRICON SUBSYSTEM JUNE 03-05, 2014, LAKE FOREST, CALIFORNIA

Background

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff is currently engaged in a review of a digital safety system replacement for the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plants. By letter dated October 26, 2011, PG&E submitted a license amendment request (LAR) to replace the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant Eagle 21 Process Protection System (PPS) with a new digital PPS (ML11307A332). The LAR requested NRC review and approval of the proposed design. As part of this review, the NRC staff is conducting a regulatory audit of the Tricon portion of the Diablo Canyon PPS replacement system.

In November of 2012, the staff conducted the first audit of the Tricon system at the lnvensys Operations Management (10M) facilities in Lake Forest, California (ADAMS Accession Number ML13018A149). During that audit, the NRC staff was unable to observe how the design phase outputs are subject to the Verification and Validation processes. The staff also identified several open items and noted that a follow-up audit would be required to evaluate resolution activities for each of these Open Items.

Regulatory audit basis To support its safety evaluation, the NRC Instrumentation and Controls Branch (EICB) will conduct a second audit at the lnvensys Operations Management (10M) facilities in Lake Forest California. The purpose of this confirmatory audit is to determine if the life cycle processes used, and the outputs of those processes have resulted in a PPS system for use at Diablo Canyon which will meet regulatory requirements. This audit will provide information necessary to complete the staff's evaluation of the proposed Tricon portion of the Diablo Canyon PPS.

Regulatory audit scope The objective of this audit is to verify via an independent evaluation, that the Tricon subsystem of the PPS to be used at Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant conforms to applicable regulations, standards, guidelines, plans, and procedures by assessing the implementation of the systems developmental life cycle process.

Audit requirements

1. Threads reviewed during first audit -

Several requirement threads were reviewed through the requirements phase during the first audit (Reference lnvensys Tricon Audit Report, ADAMS Accession Number ML13018A149). The team will select from this list to perform follow-up reviews through the design and implementation phases of PPS system development. The team intends to trace system requirements to specific test cases to be performed during the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT).

2. Maintenance Workstation- SE Section 3.10.1.7 -IEEE 7-4.3.21dentification- Observe how MWS Tristation 1131 is used to verify that correct software is installed into the DCPP system hardware. Determine if this verification activity can be done with system operable and if surveillance tests will be performed to periodically verify that software is correct.
3. Additional topic areas to be covered during second audit:
a. Time Response -The NRC will review the relation between the specified time response requirements for PPS and the safety analysis response time assumptions listed in the UFSAR Table 15.1-2. The objective of this audit activity is to understand and confirm how the PPS component of the overall safety system response time assumptions is derived.
b. Software V&V- Review the lnvensys V&V program and the Diablo Canyon specific V&V plan.
i. Perform follow-up thread audit of selected requirements, during which lnvensys staff will be asked to track the implementation of those various system and software requirements through each phase of the design process using the requirements traceability matrix, and to show how the design phase outputs were subject to the V&V process activities.

ii. Evaluate the effectiveness of the Software V&V plans for each phase of the software life cycle for establishing an implementation of V&V activities in the design and design acceptance process and determine if the V&V team was sufficiently independent in terms of cost, schedule and management. The V&V Summary reports will be used as a guide for this activity.

c. Configuration Management - Review the configuration management system used for the Diablo Canyon PPS software development and interview lnvensys personnel responsible for performing configuration management activities.
i. Postulate a change in controlled document (at least one procedure, and one design output). lnvensys personnel will be asked to generate the paperwork, and walk through the processes for managing such a change.

ii. The NRC staff will ask for an example of an actual problem which occurred during the process of developing the Diablo Canyon PPS application. The audit team will review the resulting paperwork and determine if the process for resolution of the identified problem was successful in achieving a satisfactory result.

iii. The audit team will discuss the processes used to control software configuration if two or more people check out a particular version of a controlled item. The team will also access how the resulting changes are controlled.

d. Software Quality Assurance -The audit team will review the QA processes with the lnvensys Quality Assurance manager responsible for Software QA to determine that the program is effective in assuring quality of the Diablo Canyon PPS application software.
i. Postulate a problem with SQA. Ask the SQA manager to generate the paperwork, and walk through the way it would be processed if this were a real problem. This should include the entire process through to final approvals and changes.

ii. The audit team will ask for an example of an actual problem which occurred during the process of developing the Diablo Canyon application.

The team will review the resulting paperwork and determine if the resolution to the problems was satisfactory.

e. Software Safety - The audit team will review the software safety processes with representatives of the QA and IW organizations. The team will determine if the software safety plans and the procedures used during the software safety analysis activities were adequate to assure the software was acceptable to be used in the safety related application at Diablo Canyon. The audit team will review the Diablo Canyon PPS Safety Analysis, and determine the effectiveness of this analysis in identification and mitigation of software hazards.
f. Tricon Alternative to ISG-04, position 10 - The audit team will review the function blocks in the application program associated with operation of the key switch (i.e.,

voting of the keyswitch position) and required actions to be performed on a change of keyswitch position. In addition, the audit team will review the function (i.e., gated access) that enables the maintenance workstation to write to internal tag names when the keyswitch is in the RUN position. w

g. Secure Development Environment -The audit team will verify that the development environment established for the Diablo Canyon PPS system development effort conforms to the requirements of RG 1.152, Revision 3.

Information Necessary for the Regulatory Audit The following documentation and supporting materials will be required for performance of this audit. The NRC requests that hard copies of these documents be available to the audit team upon arrival at the lnvensys facilities.
