MF3330)MNGP EPU-EMCB-RSD-RAI-120During a review of power ascension data in March and April 2014, Xcel Energy discovered mislabeling ofthe main steam line (MSL)-C leads at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant (MNGP). In a conferencecall on April 9, 2014, the NRC staff were informed that the leads from the upper and lower strain gaugeson MSL-C were confirmed to be erroneously reversed in 2011. Xcel Energy indicated during theconference call that the impact would be small. However, this issue could potentially impact the biaserrors and uncertainties provided in the end-to-end benchmarking report for Acoustic Circuit ModelEnhanced (ACE) 2.0 (Reference 1).The NRC staff requests the following additional information:1. Please provide a detailed technical explanation for why the changes in bias errors anduncertainties were small; when the upper and lower strain gauge signals for MNGP MSL-C wereinterchanged due to mislabeling, compared to the correct case. The explanation should addressthe entire frequency range, since the dominant dryer excitation is frequency dependent.2. Also, provide plots of the MSL-C monopole and dipole sources for the two cases, and a plot ofoverlaid or super-imposed Power Spectral Densities (PSDs) of MSL-C strain gauge signals tocompare the similarities and the differences.Reference1. Letter L-MT-13-091 from Mark Schimmel, Xcel Energy, to U.S. Regulatory CommissionDocument Control Desk, dated August 29, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No.ML13248A343): Enclosure 6 (proprietary) and Enclosure 14 (non-proprietary), WestinghouseWCAP-17716-P(NP), Revision 1, "Benchmarking of the Acoustic Circuit Enhanced Revision 2.0for the Monticello Steam Dryer Replacement Project," dated August 2013 (ADAMS AccessionNos. ML13248A353 (proprietary) and ML13248A349 (non-proprietary), respectively).I Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3LTR-BVWR-ENG- 14-010-NPRESPONSEBackgroundIn April 2014, Xcel Energy identified that the main steam line (MSL)C strain gauge cableswitching performed during the 2011 refuel outage, as a corrective action in response to a cablelabeling issue, appeared to have resulted in erroneous reversal of the upstream anddownstream strain gauge cables. Numerous methods were employed to validate that the MSLCcables were incorrectly switched. A revised replacement steam dryer (RSD) acoustic-structuralanalysis has consequently been performed and is documented in this response. The revisedanalysis addresses the impact to the MSLC strain gauge signals due to the switched cables.Additionally, this response provides brief descriptions of the revisions that will be made to thepreviously submitted RSD reports as a result of the revised acoustic-structural analysis.The MSL strain gauge signals are []a,c Figure RAI-120-1 summarizes thesteps in the process which are affected by the correcting of the signals.

A plot of the MSLC upstream and downstream signal PowerSpectral Densities (PSDs) is provided in Figure RAI-120-2.Detailed ResultsThis RAI response documents the portions of the acoustic-structural analysis that are affectedby switching the MSLC signals. Revisions to the previously submitted reports will be updated toinclude the changes documented herein due to the MSLC signal correction. The proprietaryand non-proprietary versions of the following reports will be updated and submitted along withthe final EPU report after power ascension to EPU is complete:WCAP-17716, Rev 1, "Benchmarking of the Acoustic Circuit Enhanced Revision 2.0 for theMonticello Steam Dryer Replacement Project."WCAP-17252, Rev 4, "Acoustic Loads Definition for the Monticello Steam Dryer ReplacementProject."WCAP-1 7549, Rev 2, "Monticello Replacement Steam Dryer Structural Evaluation for High-Cycle Acoustic Loads Using ACE."SES09-127, Rev 2, "Monticello Steam Dryer Replacement -Structural Verification of SteamDryer."The ASME qualification for the RSD will be updated to include the FIV stresses resulting fromthe correction of the MSLC signals. All ASME Section III, Subsection NG requirements are metwith the updated FIV stress values.Signal ProcessingDigital signal processing is performed to]a.c The signal processing techniques used for the CLTP and EPUsignal generation were identical to those documented and accepted in WCAP-17716-P Rev. 1.Any plots of MSL signals for MSLA, MSLB, and MSLD are unchanged.

For MSLA, B, and D, the shape of the upstream and downstream limit curves will be identical to thosesubmitted in LTR-A&SA-09-32, Revision 8. []a,b,c. For MSLC, the same is true except the figures previously labeled upstreamwill now be labeled as downstream and vice versa. Figure RAI-120-20 through Figure RAI-120-23 present the updated MSL limit curves for the MNGP RSD. Level 1 limit curves ensure thatthe ASME allowable alternating stress value on the RSD is not exceeded. Level 2 limit curvesensure that 80% of the allowable alternating stress value on the RSD is not exceeded. Duringpower ascension, the plant will be monitored and the PSDs will be compared to the limit curvesat each power level test condition in the EPU Power Ascension Test. The situations presentedin Table RAI-120-7 may occur depending on the magnitude of the pressure load. This processwill be repeated until the EPU power level is achieved.Table RAI-120-7 EPU Power AscensionCondition ActionPressure Load < Level 2 Increase power to the next levelPerform a stress analysis at the current powerLevel 2 < Pressure Load < Level 1 levelReduce power to the previous step,engineering evaluation, and consideration ofPressure Load > Level 1 mitigation actions24 Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3LTR-BWR-ENG- 14-01 0-NPa,b,cFigure RAI-120-20 Limit Curves -MSLAa,b,cFigure RAI-120-21 Limit Curves -MSLB25 Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3LTR-BWR-ENG- 14-010-NPa,b,cFigure RAI-120-22 Limit Curves -MSLCa,b,cFigure RAI-120-23 Limit Curves -MSLD26 QF0212, Revision 5 (FP-SC-RSI-04)Page 1 of 1XcelEnergy°SHIPPING DOCUMENTNORTHERN STATES POWER -MND/B/A Xcel EnergyMonticello Nuclear Plant, 2807 W Hwy. 75, Monticello, MN 55362Date: 7-22-14 Shipping DocumentTracking Number: 15'4-Ship To:USNRC11555 Rockville PikeRockville, MD 20852-2738Attention Of: Document Control DeskCarrier: UPS -Standard Overnight RMA No:Pro I Tracking No: PO / Contract No:Packaging: Number of Packages: I Weight:Dangerous Goods/ UN/NA No: Insurance Est.
