based on walk-through) that it will take for personnel to access the display.
Additionally, please include a description of the radiological and environmental conditions on the paths personnel might take.
Describe whether the display location remains habitable for radiological, heat and humidity, and other The primary and backup instrument channel displays will be located outside of the control room and alternate shutdown panel as described above. This location was selected due to the display location proximity to the main control room.
Radiological habitability at this location has been evaluated against Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station UFSAR section 12.3, Radiation Shielding, as well as estimated dose rates from SFP drain-down conditions to level 3, (calculation BYR13-187) and exposure to personnel monitoring SFP levels would remain less than emergency exposure limits allowable for emergency responders to perform this action.
The location is at an elevation below the SFP operating floor and located in a different building physically separated by concrete walls, closed air lock/fire doors from the SFP such that heat and humidity from a boiling SFP would not comprise habitability at this location.
Spent Fuel Pool Level monitoring will be the responsibility of Operations personnel who will monitor the display periodically once dispatched from the Control Room. Travel time from the Control Room to the primary and secondary displays is less than 5 minutes based on walkdowns.
Radiological habitability for the transit routes to both displays has been evaluated against Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station UFSAR section 12.3, Radiation Shielding, as well as estimated dose rates from SFP drain-down conditions to Level 3, (calculation BYR13-187) and exposure to personnel monitoring SFP levels would remain less than emergency exposure limits allowable for emergency responders to perform this action. The access routes are below the SFP operating floor and located in a different building physically separated by closed air lock/fire doors from the SFP such that heat and humidity from a boiling SFP would not compromise habitability concerns with accessing these displays.
Diverse communication methods are available for operators to contact the control room to provide the SFP level from the display location, for both the primary and backup channels displays.

  • Frequency analysis, taking into account the dead weight and the hydrodynamic mass of the structure, is performed to obtain the natural frequencies of the structure in all three directions.
  • Modal responses are combined using the Ten Percent Method per U.S. NRG Regulatory Guide 1.92, Revision 1, "Combining Modal Responses and Spatial Components in Seismic Response Analysis".
  • The seismic loads for each of the three directions are combined by the Square Root of the Sum of Squares (SASS) Method.
  • Sloshing analysis is performed to obtain liquid pressure and its impact on bracket design.
  • The seismic results are combined with the dead load results and the hydrodynamic pressure results in absolute sum. These combined results are compared with the allowable stress values.

Sloshing Sloshing forces will be obtained by analysis. The TID-7024, Nuclear Reactors and Earthquakes, 1963, by the US Atomic Energy Commission, approach will be used to estimate the wave height and natural frequency.

Horizontal and vertical impact force on the bracket components will be calculated using the wave height and natural frequency obtained using the Page 5 of 26

equipment.

6. Allowable stresses for structural bolts.

Methodology to qualify the safety related structural integrity will include, but not limited to, the following:

1. Structural Weldments -Qualifying the weld design entails the selection of a weld's physical attributes, such as type, configuration and size, which will make it suitable for transferring the prescribed loads within appropriate limits.

This process involves determining the maximum unit forces on the weld and comparing them with the weld capacity. The methodology determines weld design forces by assuming nominal linear stress/strain distribution. For each design, the engineer must confirm that the distribution of stiffness within the joint is consistent with this assumption. In some cases more refined techniques may be required to predict appropriate distribution of weld forces.

2. Concrete Expansions - The design methodology of concrete expansion anchor assemblies involves 1) application of component attachment loads to the plate, 2) analysis of the assembly to determine the resultant tension and shear forces on individual anchors, 3) evaluation of the anchor forces relative to anchor allowables and 4) computation and evaluation of bending stresses in the CEA plate. Reactions for the attached component (applied to the plate at the centroid of the attachment weld) shall be resolved into moments, shears and axial loads (about the major axes of the expansion anchor plate).
3. Local Stress Effects - The member local stresses for open sections are computed according to specific procedures for flange attachments, web attachments, attachments to flanges of beams supporting concrete, and attachments to webs of beams supporting concrete.
4. Existing Embedment Plate Evaluation - Embedment plates for mechanical/electrical component support attachments (i.e., pipe supports, conduit supports, HVAC supports, etc.)

are evaluated as follows:

  • Determine embedment plate detail based on the Page 18 of 26

component support design drawing and appropriate structural drawings.

Determine an allowable load for the embedment plate detail per plant design tables.

Ensure that the attachment location satisfies the location tolerances used in determining the embedment plate allowables.

Calculate reactions at face of embedment plate.

Determine if the embedment plate can be qualified per criteria.

5. Conduit and Conduit Supports - Structural adequacy of rigid conduit is evaluated by determining the critical span condition, loads, checking conduit stresses and verifying structural adequacy of conduit clamps. Structural adequacy of Conduit, Junction Boxes and Junction Box supports is evaluated by determining loads, calculating member forces and joint reactions, checking member stresses, checking connections, checking expansion anchor assemblies, checking attachments to structure and resolving overstresses.
6. Cable Tray Loading Violations (CTLVs) - The structural evaluation of cable tray supports for potential increase in design basis loading will be performed by identifying the hangers affected by the routing point. For each affected hanger controlling routing point will be determined. Then actual load associated with the routing point will be computed. Then the actual load will be compared to the load used in the hanger design. An evaluation of cable tray hanger for any increased load will be performed.

Detailed design is targeted for completion completed by October 31, 2014.

Below is a summary of the test conditions used by Westinghouse to qualify the SFPIS. These test conditions are also documented in Attachment 2 items 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.

Environmental Conditions for SFPIS Components installed in the Spent Fuel Pool Area at Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station are bounded by below test conditions, except for radiation TID 12" above top of fuel rack for beyond design basis conditions (BDB). The BDB radiation TID, 12" above top of fuel rack for Peach Bottom is 4.E07 Ry, per calculation BYR13-051 - NEI 12-02 Spent Fuel Pool Doses. The BDB radiation value to which the Westinghouse equipment is qualified to is 1.E07 Ry, per Section 5.1.1 of WNA-TR-03149-GEN. The radiation value of 4.E07 Ry is higher than 1.E07 R Page 19 of 26

Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3 Third Six-Month Status Report for the Implementation of SFPLI August28,2014 y to which Westinghouse qualified the instrument to. However, this value of 4.E07 Ry is applicable only when the water is at Level 3. At Level 2 the TIO reduces to 2.E07 Ry and it further reduces to 8.E06 at Level 1 and above. With SFP water level at Level 3 the only components of SFPI that are exposed to high radiation are the stainless steel probe and the stainless steel anchor. The materials with which the probe and the anchor are manufactured are resistant to radiation effects.

The stainless steel anchor and stainless steel probe can withstand 40 year dose. Westinghouse updated the design specification (WNA-OS-02957-GEN) and L TR-SFPIS-13-35, Revision 1 documentation to include the above technical justification.

Environmental Conditions for SFPIS Components in the Spent Fuel Pool Area Level sensor probe, coax coupler and connector assembly, launch plate and pool side bracket assembly, coax cable are designed and qualified to operate reliably in the below specified environmental conditions.

Additionally, Westinghouse is continuing their aging tests to age the system components to 1 o years. These tests are projected to be completed towards end of Summer 2014. Final test reports are scheduled to be provided to Exelon by September 4, 2014. Exelon has targeted the test report reviews by September 30, 2014.

Seismic Category I Testing Seismic qualification testing performed by Westinghouse along with the technical evaluations performed by Westinghouse confirms that the SFPIS meets the seismic requirements of the vendor's design specification document WNA-DS-02957-GEN.

Westinghouse's design specification satisfies the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station installation requirements to withstand a SSE.

Please provide the following:

a) A description of the electrical ac power sources and capacities for the primary and channels.

backup b) Please provide the results of the calculation depicting battery duty the backup cycle requirements demonstrating that its capacity is sufficient to maintain the level indication function until off site resource availability is reasonably assured.

RAI Question:

As specified in RAl-5, components of the system (i.e., bracket, transmitter, display enclosure) will be permanently installed to meet the requirements to withstand a SSE and will meet the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station safety related installation requirements. Westinghouse has analyzed the pool side bracket to withstand design basis SSE. Other components of the SFPIS were subjected to shock and vibration during the seismic testing and met the requirements necessary for mounted equipment.

Sloshing Justification The sloshing calculation performed by Westinghouse in document L TR-SEE-11-13-47 was reviewed for a design basis seismic event and found acceptable.

Sloshing forces were taken into consideration for the anchorage design of the pool side bracket to ensure the bracket is rigidly mounted to include sloshing affects.

Started.

a) Detailed design has begun but this information is not yet available. The detailed design is targeted for completion by October 31, 2014.

b) The Westinghouse Report, WNA-CN-00300-GEN, provides the results of the calculation depicting the battery backup duty cycle. This calculation demonstrates that battery capacity is 4.22 days to maintain the level indicating function of the display, located in the 165 foot elevation of the Radwaste Building. The results of the calculation meet the NEI 12-02 requirements.

The specific location for the primary and backup instrument b) channel display.

b) For any SFP level instrumentation displays located outside the main control

room, please describe the evaluation used to validate that the display location can be accessed without unreasonable delay following a BOB event.

Include the time available for personnel to access the display as credited in the evaluation, as well as the actual time (e.g.,

based on walk-through) that it will take for personnel to access the display.

Additionally, please include a description of the radiological and environmental conditions on the paths personnel might take.

Describe whether the display location remains habitable for radiological, heat and humidity, and other The primary and backup instrument channel displays will be located outside of the control room and alternate shutdown panel as described above. This location was selected due to the display location proximity to the main control room.

Radiological habitability at this location has been evaluated against Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station UFSAR section 12.3, Radiation Shielding, as well as estimated dose rates from SFP drain-down conditions to level 3, (calculation BYR13-187) and exposure to personnel monitoring SFP levels would remain less than emergency exposure limits allowable for emergency responders to perform this action.

The location is at an elevation below the SFP operating floor and located in a different building physically separated by concrete walls, closed air lock/fire doors from the SFP such that heat and humidity from a boiling SFP would not comprise habitability at this location.

Spent Fuel Pool Level monitoring will be the responsibility of Operations personnel who will monitor the display periodically once dispatched from the Control Room. Travel time from the Control Room to the primary and secondary displays is less than 5 minutes based on walkdowns.

Radiological habitability for the transit routes to both displays has been evaluated against Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station UFSAR section 12.3, Radiation Shielding, as well as estimated dose rates from SFP drain-down conditions to Level 3, (calculation BYR13-187) and exposure to personnel monitoring SFP levels would remain less than emergency exposure limits allowable for emergency responders to perform this action. The access routes are below the SFP operating floor and located in a different building physically separated by closed air lock/fire doors from the SFP such that heat and humidity from a boiling SFP would not compromise habitability concerns with accessing these displays.

Diverse communication methods are available for operators to contact the control room to provide the SFP level from the display location, for both the primary and backup channels displays.

The display will be accessed on demand. It takes up to 5 minutes to reach the display location, for both the primary and backup channels, when an operator is dispatched from the control room. The actual time for accessing the display locations is based on walkdowns. The walk to access the Page 23 of 26
