GENERAL ELECTRIC COMMENTS ON REGULATORY GUIDE 1.141, | |||
" CONTAINMENT ISOLATION PROVISIONS FOR FLUID SYSTEMS," | |||
4 DATED APRIL 1978 | |||
==References:== | |||
: 1) ANSI, " Style Mr.nual for Preparation of Proposed | |||
'' American National Standards," August 1972 | |||
: 2) ANSI, "American National Standards Inst.itute Proce-dures for Management and Coordination of American l National Standards," February 1975 The General Electric Company has reviewed the subject guide. As a result of this review, the General Electric Comoany has identified several deficiencies of sufficient importance to be of concern. | |||
One area of considerable concern is the application of Appendix A, | |||
" Typical Boiling Water Reactor System Diagrams," of ANSI N271-1976, | |||
" Containment Isolation Provisions for Fluid Systems." The purpose of Appendix A is to _ illustrate the application of isolation provisions to BWR designs. A second area of concern is the application of the footnotes of ANSI N271-1976. The references in the footnotes are cited to identify guidance. General Electric has determined, however, that the figures of Appendix A and the footnotes associated with the main text of the standard are not representative of current SWR designs approved by the NRC in licensing documentation. In fact, the information contained in Appendix A and the footnotes is substantially obsolete when compared with current designs. Examples of corrected figures and footnotes are provided in Attachment 1. Therefore, the application of Appendix A and the footnotes should be clarified. | |||
Attached is a copy of comments submitted to Jim Mallay, Chairman of tne . | |||
ANS-50 Committee. The comments are considered nem asary to provide clarification on the main text of the standard and te rectify the oosolete-ness of Appendix A and the footnotes, ts12182>0 ppe ?& low" 7 7 | |||

GENER AL h ELECTRIC ' | |||
U.S. NRC June 26,.1978 Page 2 The' NRC has taken the position (Section B, last sentence) that all recommendations of ANSI N271 are considered to be of sufficient importance to safety to be endorsed along with the requirements given in the standard. | |||
This position has fostered some uncertainty as to the nature of the application of Appendix A and the footnotes in the guide. Appendix A and the footnotes are not officially a part of the standard, and this fact is explicitly stated in the preamble to Appendix A and references 1)'and 2). Further, the information contained in Appendix A and the footnotes was provided for illustration purposes only, and this purpose + | |||
is explicitly stated in the second to the last paragraph in the foreword to the standard and references 1) and 2). | |||
General Electric believes that Appendix A, primarily, is acceptable for illustrating containment isolation provisions conceptually or in principle. | |||
However, the NRC should clarify that Appendix A and the footnotes are not mandatory and are not necessarily representative of SWR designs acceptable for meeting regulatory position on containment isolation. | |||
Recommended wording to satisfactorily address this concern is provided in Attachment 1. ' | |||
~ | |||
Other substantial comments relate to: (1) position requirements for motor operated valves, (2) requirements for indicatien circuits and. | |||
associated actuation circuits, (3) guard pipe guidance, and (4) test provisions on 10CFR50 Appendix J. These subjects are discussed in detail in Attachment 1. | |||

ATTACHMENT 1 General Electric Company Comments on Regulatory Guide 1.141, | |||
" Containment Isolation Provisions For Fluid Systems," | |||
Dated April 1978 l | |||
: 1. ANSI N271-1976, Accendix A i | |||
Procosed Chance: | |||
The following position should be incorporated in the guide as Regulatory Position C.1, and the other positions numbered accordingly: | |||
"The footnotes and appendices in ANSI N271 are not part of the l standard. The information contained in the footnotes and appendices is illustrative guidance, and adherence to such information is not ' | |||
mandatory .in order to comply with 10CFR50, Appendix A." | |||
J0stification: | |||
The last sentence in Section D of the Regulatory Guide, which reads: "All recommendations are considered to be of sufficient importance to safety to be endorsed with the requirements in the standard," has lead some reviewers to believe that the guidance of the footnotes and appendices are mandatory. This interpretation has occurred since the last sentence in-the discussion section of t,he guide was interpreted to overrule the second-to-the-last para-graph in the foreword of the standard, which reads: "The appendices are provided to illustrate application of the standard, but are not mandatory or part of the standard." | |||
Examples of areas where Appendix A is deficient are the following: | |||
A. The guidance on guard pipes inside the containment, such as Figures A-1, A-2, A-4 and A-5: | |||
: a. The guidance for guard pioes and the associated criteria are not within the scope of ANSI N271-1976. | |||
: b. The criteria applied in ANSI N271 are not consistent with currently applied criteria, such as SRP 3.6.1, SRP 3.6.2, nd Regulatory Guide 1.29. For example, Figure A-2 iows a guard pipe on the RHR system shutdown return line iich is not required by current regulatory criteria, | |||
( eference 238NI GESSAR). | |||
: c. Guard pipe requirements are, in general, containment-drywell-system / operation unique and therefore cannot be applied " generically" as implied / required by ANSI N271. ~ | |||
v | |||
Attachment 1 page 2 June 26,1978 B. The guidance on valve testing, such as Figures A3 (TC on Inboard Valve (1)) and A-6 (TB on th'e inside of the suppress-ion pool): | |||
The subject of valve testing is not a principal topic of the standard, and therefere the information on valve testing is piecemeal and does not represent optimum test provisions. For example, the TC provision on the inboard of valve (1) indicates that valve (1) is tested. The TC provision is in direct contradiction with NE00-21424, "238 Nuclear Island Containment Bypass Leakage Sealing and Testing Methods," which specifies that valve (1) need not be tested because of closed loop exemptions and 10CFR50, Appendix J criteria. . | |||
Acceptable criteria and requirements for valve testing are contained in 10CFR50, Appendix J. The guidance of ANSI N271 on valve testing should be set aside until more up-to-date and comprehensive valve testing guidance, for example, draft ANSI-56.8 N274, " Containment System Leakage Testing Require-ments," is officially promulgated. ' | |||
: 2. ANSI N271-1976, Section 3.3.2(4). | |||
Procosed Chance: | |||
6b The following position should be incorporated in the regulatory | |||
[Cf position of.the guide: , | |||
"When a single active failure is assumed, at least one isolation ..J valve per pipeline shall take the position of greatest safety." y{. | |||
sus | |||
.? | |||
(mJustification: .O Section f ANSI N271 specifies that automatic isolation ' I ;;'' ) , | |||
valves sha esigned to take the position that provides the ' ?s ! | |||
greatest safety. This requirement could be interpreted to mean ? !~ i that all valves shall move to their safest position following loss l of motor power. The inherent design of motor-operated valves dces not provide for closure upon loss of electrical power. The key safety objective is not necessarily assuring specific valve posi-tions, but rather assuring the proper isolation of pipelines. | |||
The proper isolation of pipelines when using motor-operated valves is achieved by redundancy and single-failure considerations, for l example, providing redundant motor-operated valves powered from - | |||
l different electrical divisions. Thus, the proposed change is ! | |||
required to preclude the unjustifiable interpretation that each motor-operated valve shall move to its safest position following loss of electrical power.- . | |||

: 3. ANSI N271-1976, Section 4.2.3 . | |||
Proposed Chance: . | |||
The second sentence of Section 4.2.3 should be modified as follows: p "The indicating circuit shall be classified IE unless a failure of. | |||
the indication circuits could not cause a failure of the actuation Q), ! | |||
. circuit." | |||
ir(jk Justification j Class IE indication circuits.are connected in some instances to isolation valve control circuits. These indication circuits. provide positive indication of the power availability of individual control circuits. Further, redundant Class IE circuits are physically separated and environmentally qualified. Seismic testing of finished-panels, where the lights and circuits are mounted, has substantiated that failures of indication circuits are unlikely as a result of a Seismic I event. Also, a single failure of an indication ~ circuit in one valve is acceptable because the isolation function wculd still be carrted out by the redundant valve. Thus, the proposed change is necessary to permit positive indication of control circuits and to preclude an overextension of the single-failure criterion. . | |||

GENERAL ELECTRIC COMMENTS ON REGULATORY GUIDE 1.141,
" CONTAINMENT ISOLATION PROVISIONS FOR FLUID SYSTEMS,"
4 DATED APRIL 1978
References:
- 1) ANSI, " Style Mr.nual for Preparation of Proposed
American National Standards," August 1972
- 2) ANSI, "American National Standards Inst.itute Proce-dures for Management and Coordination of American l National Standards," February 1975 The General Electric Company has reviewed the subject guide. As a result of this review, the General Electric Comoany has identified several deficiencies of sufficient importance to be of concern.
One area of considerable concern is the application of Appendix A,
" Typical Boiling Water Reactor System Diagrams," of ANSI N271-1976, " Containment Isolation Provisions for Fluid Systems." The purpose of Appendix A is to _ illustrate the application of isolation provisions to BWR designs. A second area of concern is the application of the footnotes of ANSI N271-1976. The references in the footnotes are cited to identify guidance. General Electric has determined, however, that the figures of Appendix A and the footnotes associated with the main text of the standard are not representative of current SWR designs approved by the NRC in licensing documentation. In fact, the information contained in Appendix A and the footnotes is substantially obsolete when compared with current designs. Examples of corrected figures and footnotes are provided in Attachment 1. Therefore, the application of Appendix A and the footnotes should be clarified.
Attached is a copy of comments submitted to Jim Mallay, Chairman of tne . ANS-50 Committee. The comments are considered nem asary to provide clarification on the main text of the standard and te rectify the oosolete-ness of Appendix A and the footnotes, ts12182>0 ppe ?& low" 7 7

GENER AL h ELECTRIC ' U.S. NRC June 26,.1978 Page 2 The' NRC has taken the position (Section B, last sentence) that all recommendations of ANSI N271 are considered to be of sufficient importance to safety to be endorsed along with the requirements given in the standard. This position has fostered some uncertainty as to the nature of the application of Appendix A and the footnotes in the guide. Appendix A and the footnotes are not officially a part of the standard, and this fact is explicitly stated in the preamble to Appendix A and references 1)'and 2). Further, the information contained in Appendix A and the footnotes was provided for illustration purposes only, and this purpose + is explicitly stated in the second to the last paragraph in the foreword to the standard and references 1) and 2). General Electric believes that Appendix A, primarily, is acceptable for illustrating containment isolation provisions conceptually or in principle. However, the NRC should clarify that Appendix A and the footnotes are not mandatory and are not necessarily representative of SWR designs acceptable for meeting regulatory position on containment isolation. Recommended wording to satisfactorily address this concern is provided in Attachment 1. '
~
Other substantial comments relate to: (1) position requirements for motor operated valves, (2) requirements for indicatien circuits and. associated actuation circuits, (3) guard pipe guidance, and (4) test provisions on 10CFR50 Appendix J. These subjects are discussed in detail in Attachment 1. If you have any questions regarding this letter, you may contact Robert J. Mur.illo of my staff, (408) 925-3406. l

" Containment Isolation Provisions For Fluid Systems,"
Dated April 1978 l
- 1. ANSI N271-1976, Accendix A i
Procosed Chance: The following position should be incorporated in the guide as Regulatory Position C.1, and the other positions numbered accordingly:
"The footnotes and appendices in ANSI N271 are not part of the l standard. The information contained in the footnotes and appendices is illustrative guidance, and adherence to such information is not '
mandatory .in order to comply with 10CFR50, Appendix A." J0stification: The last sentence in Section D of the Regulatory Guide, which reads: "All recommendations are considered to be of sufficient importance to safety to be endorsed with the requirements in the standard," has lead some reviewers to believe that the guidance of the footnotes and appendices are mandatory. This interpretation has occurred since the last sentence in-the discussion section of t,he guide was interpreted to overrule the second-to-the-last para-graph in the foreword of the standard, which reads: "The appendices are provided to illustrate application of the standard, but are not mandatory or part of the standard." Examples of areas where Appendix A is deficient are the following: A. The guidance on guard pipes inside the containment, such as Figures A-1, A-2, A-4 and A-5:
- a. The guidance for guard pioes and the associated criteria are not within the scope of ANSI N271-1976.
- b. The criteria applied in ANSI N271 are not consistent with currently applied criteria, such as SRP 3.6.1, SRP 3.6.2, nd Regulatory Guide 1.29. For example, Figure A-2 iows a guard pipe on the RHR system shutdown return line iich is not required by current regulatory criteria,
( eference 238NI GESSAR).
- c. Guard pipe requirements are, in general, containment-drywell-system / operation unique and therefore cannot be applied " generically" as implied / required by ANSI N271. ~
v
Attachment 1 page 2 June 26,1978 B. The guidance on valve testing, such as Figures A3 (TC on Inboard Valve (1)) and A-6 (TB on th'e inside of the suppress-ion pool): The subject of valve testing is not a principal topic of the standard, and therefere the information on valve testing is piecemeal and does not represent optimum test provisions. For example, the TC provision on the inboard of valve (1) indicates that valve (1) is tested. The TC provision is in direct contradiction with NE00-21424, "238 Nuclear Island Containment Bypass Leakage Sealing and Testing Methods," which specifies that valve (1) need not be tested because of closed loop exemptions and 10CFR50, Appendix J criteria. . Acceptable criteria and requirements for valve testing are contained in 10CFR50, Appendix J. The guidance of ANSI N271 on valve testing should be set aside until more up-to-date and comprehensive valve testing guidance, for example, draft ANSI-56.8 N274, " Containment System Leakage Testing Require-ments," is officially promulgated. '
- 2. ANSI N271-1976, Section 3.3.2(4).
Procosed Chance: 6b The following position should be incorporated in the regulatory [Cf position of.the guide: ,
"When a single active failure is assumed, at least one isolation ..J valve per pipeline shall take the position of greatest safety." y{.
sus
.?
(mJustification: .O Section f ANSI N271 specifies that automatic isolation ' I ;; ) , valves sha esigned to take the position that provides the ' ?s ! greatest safety. This requirement could be interpreted to mean ? !~ i that all valves shall move to their safest position following loss l of motor power. The inherent design of motor-operated valves dces not provide for closure upon loss of electrical power. The key safety objective is not necessarily assuring specific valve posi-tions, but rather assuring the proper isolation of pipelines. The proper isolation of pipelines when using motor-operated valves is achieved by redundancy and single-failure considerations, for l example, providing redundant motor-operated valves powered from - l different electrical divisions. Thus, the proposed change is ! required to preclude the unjustifiable interpretation that each motor-operated valve shall move to its safest position following loss of electrical power.- .

- 3. ANSI N271-1976, Section 4.2.3 .
Proposed Chance: . The second sentence of Section 4.2.3 should be modified as follows: p "The indicating circuit shall be classified IE unless a failure of. the indication circuits could not cause a failure of the actuation Q), ! . circuit." ir(jk Justification j Class IE indication circuits.are connected in some instances to isolation valve control circuits. These indication circuits. provide positive indication of the power availability of individual control circuits. Further, redundant Class IE circuits are physically separated and environmentally qualified. Seismic testing of finished-panels, where the lights and circuits are mounted, has substantiated that failures of indication circuits are unlikely as a result of a Seismic I event. Also, a single failure of an indication ~ circuit in one valve is acceptable because the isolation function wculd still be carrted out by the redundant valve. Thus, the proposed change is necessary to permit positive indication of control circuits and to preclude an overextension of the single-failure criterion. . p RJM: pat /1177-ll79 I
