OF THE AUGUST 23, 2018, CATEGORY 1 PUBLIC TELECONFERENCE WITH NUSCALE POWER, LLC. DESIGN CERTIFICATION APPLICATION SECTION 3.6.3, LEAK-BEFORE-BREAK EVALUATION PROCEDURES, AND SECTION 3.9.4, CONTROL ROD DRIVE SYSTEM The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) held a Category 1 public teleconference on August 23, 2018, to discuss Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) Tier 2, Chapter 3, Design of Structures, Systems, Components and Equipment, Section 3.6.3, Leak-Before-Break Evaluation Procedures and Section 3.9.4, Control Rod Drive System, of the NuScale Power, LLC (NuScale) Design Certification.
The public meeting notice can be found in the Agencywide Documents Access and Management Systems under Accession No. ML18235A512. This meeting notice was also posted on the NRC public website.
The Meeting Agenda and List of Attendees can be found in Enclosures 1 and 2, respectively.
The Technical Issues discussed are included in Enclosure 3.
Summary:
The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the responses for Request for Additional Information (RAI) 9113, Question 03.06.03-2, Question 03.06.03-9 (ML18204A141), and NuScale Power, LLC. Submittal of Changes to Final Safety Analysis Report Section 3.9.4.4, Control Rod Drive System Operability Assurance Program and Section 1.8, Interfaces with Certified Design. (ML18200A443).

For Question 03.06.03-2, the two options described on the staffs feedback were discussed and NuScale communicated that it needs to go back and notify the NRC later if it can supplement the response with any of the two options.
For the design change in Section 3.9.4, in the FSAR change letter, the staff noticed that NuScale removed some information from FSAR, Revision 0. The staff discussed that some of that information was necessary and is requested to be re-added. NuScale agreed to add the necessary information and the change will apply to Revision 3 of the FSAR.

However, NuScale has not indicated whether they have data to confirm that a cold working strain can increase the susceptibility of the material to systems, and components (SCC) - which was part of the RAI. NuScale has indicated that only if the fracture toughness reduction affects the applicability of the limit load analysis methodology used for leak-before-break (LBB), the cold-worked pipes will be solution annealed.
If NuScale intends to solution anneal all cold worked austenitic piping, the issue of SCC susceptibility would be resolved, and RAI 9113, Question 03.06.03-02 may be closed.
Question 03.06.03-09 This RAI is directly related to the request for additional data from NuScale for Emc2 to conduct independent confirmatory analysis of its LBB procedure and results. In its response, NuScale provided axial forces and resultant moments at various weld locations (total of 36) for Main Steam (MS) Line 1 and 2, and Feed Water Line 1 and 2. The results also include axial forces and resultant moments for various loading conditions such as deadweight (DW), thermal (TH),
pressure (PR), safe shutdown earthquake (SSE), and seismic anchor motion (SAM) at each location.
Emc2 has reviewed the data carefully to determine if they are sufficient to proceed with the confirmatory analyses, using one preliminary example case. The staff attempted to duplicate the normal and maximum stresses at one weld location in the MS Line 1 - which corresponds to one specific point in the smooth bounding analysis curve (SBAC) curve in Figure 3.6-24 using equations (3.6-6 to 3.6-8) provided in Section 3.6.3.3.2 of the FSAR. In doing so, Emc2 found that the data provided by NuScale are not completely adequate and additional data, i.e. all three component values (Mx, My and Mz) of resultant moment for each loading conditions (i.e. DW, TH, PR, SSE and SAM) at 36 weld locations are required - as the resultant moment alone was not sufficient.
NuScale is requested to provide this additional data so the confirmatory analyses can move forward as planned.
