SUBJECT:
SALEM NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNITS 1 & 2, REQUEST FORADDITIONAL INFORMATION RE: RESPONSE TO GENERIC LETTER 2004-02, ?POTENTIAL IMPACT OF DEBRIS BLOCKAGE ON EMERGENCYRECIRCULATION DURING DESIGN-BASIS ACCIDENTS AT PRESSURIZED-WATER REACTORS" (TAC NOS. MC4712 AND MC4713)
Dear Mr. Levis:
On September 13, 2004, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Generic Letter(GL) 2004-02, ?Potential Impact of Debris Blockage on Emergency Recirculation During DesignBasis Accidents at Pressurized-Water Reactors," as part of the NRC's efforts to assess thelikelihood that the emergency core cooling system (ECCS) and containment spray system(CSS) pumps at domestic pressurized water reactors (PWRs) would experience a debris-induced loss of net positive suction head margin during sump recirculation. The NRC issuedthis GL to all PWR licensees to request that addressees (1) perform a mechanistic evaluation using an NRC-approved methodology of the potential for the adverse effects of post-accidentdebris blockage and operation with debris-laden fluids to impede or prevent the recirculation functions of the ECCS and CSS following all postulated accidents for which the recirculation of these systems is required, and (2) implement any plant modifications that the above evaluationidentifies as being necessary to ensure system functionality. Addressees were also required tosubmit information specified in GL 2004-02 to the NRC in accordance with Title 10 of the Codeof Federal Regulations Section 50.54(f). Additionally, in the GL, the NRC establis hed aschedule for the submittal of the written responses and the completion of any corrective actions identified while complying with the requests in the GL.By letter dated March 4, 2005, as supplemented by letter dated September 1, 2005, PSEGNuclear LLC provided a response to the GL. The NRC staff is reviewing and evaluating yourresponse along with the responses from all PWR licensees. The NRC staff has determinedthat responses to the questions in the enclosure to this letter are necessary in order for the staff to complete its review. Please note that the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation's Division of Component Integrity is st ill conducting its initial reviews with respect to coatings. Althoughsome initial coatings questions are included in the enclosure to this letter, the NRC might issuean additional request for information regarding coatings issues in the near future.

Plant-Specific Chemical Effects8.Discuss your overall strategy to evaluate potential chemical effects includingdemonstrating that, with chemical effects considered, there is sufficient net positive suction head (NPSH) margin available during the ECCS mission time. Provide an estimated date with milestones for the completion of all chemical effects evaluations.9.Identify, if applicable, any plans to remove certain materials from the containmentbuilding and/or to make a change from the existing chemicals that buffer containment pool pH following a LOCA.10.If bench-top testing is being used to inform plant-specific head loss testing, indicate howthe bench-top test parameters (e.g., buffering agent concentrations, pH, materials, etc.)
compare to your plant conditions. Describe your plans for addressing uncertainties related to head loss from chemical effects including, but not limited to, use of chemical surrogates, scaling of sample size and test durations.

Identify the vendor, if applicable, that will be performing the testing. Identify the environment (e.g., borated water at pH 9,deionized water, tap water) and test temperature for any plant-specific head loss or transport tests. Discuss how any differences between these test environments and your plant containment pool conditions could affect the behavior of chemical surrogates.
Discuss the criteria that will be used to demonstrate that chemical surrogates producedfor testing (e.g., head loss, flume) behave in a similar manner physically and chemically as in the ICET environment and plant containment pool environment.12.For your plant-specific environment, provide the maximum projected head loss resultingfrom chemical effects (a) within the first day following a LOCA, and (b) during the entire ECCS recirculation mission time.

This should include how the assessment technique(s) demonstrates that qualified/acceptable coatings remain in compliance with plant licensing requirements for design basis accident (DBA) performance. If current examination techniques cannot demonstrate the coatings' ability to meet plant licensing requirementsfor DBA performance, licensees should describe an augmented testing and inspection program that provides assurance that the qualified/acceptable coatings continue to meetDBA performance requirements. Alternately, assume all containment coatings fail and describe the potential for this debris to transport to the sump.Plant Specific26.(Not applicable).
27.(Not applicable).
28.(Not applicable). 29.(Not applicable).30.The NRC staff's safety evaluation (SE) on the NEI guidance report, NEI 04-07addresses two distinct scenarios for formation of a fiber bed on the sump screen surface. For a thin bed case, the SE states that all coatings debris should be treated asparticulate and assumes 100% transport to the sump screen. For the case in which no thin bed is formed, the staff's SE states that the coatings debris should be sized basedon plant-specific analyses for debris generated from within the zone of influence (ZOI) and from outside the ZOI, or that a default chip size equivalent to the area of the sumpscreen openings should be used (Section 3.4.3.6). Describe how your coatings debris characteristics are modeled to account for your plant-specific fiber bed (i.e. thin bed or no thin bed). If your analysis considers both a thin bed and a non-thin bed case, discuss the coatings debris characteristics assumed for each case. If your analysis deviates from the coatings debris characteristics described in the staff-approved methodology, provide justification to support your assumptions.31.Your submittal did not provide details regarding the characterization of latent debrisfound in your containment as outlined in the NRC SE. Please provide these details.32.How will your containment cleanliness and foreign material exclusion (FME) programsassure that latent debris in containment will be controlled and monitored to bemaintained below the amounts and characterization assumed in the ECCS strainer design? In particular, what is planned for areas/components that are normally inaccessible or not normally cleaned (containment crane rails, cable trays, main steam/feedwater piping, tops of steam generators, etc.)?33.Will latent debris sampling become an ongoing program?34.You indicated that you would be evaluating downstream effects in accordance withWCAP 16406-P. The NRC is currently involved in discussions with the WestinghouseOwner's Group (WOG) to address questions/concerns regarding this WCAP on a generic basis, and some of these discussions may resolve issues related to your particular station. The following issues have the potential for generic resolution; however, if a generic resolution cannot be obtained, plant-specific resolution will berequired. As such, formal RAIs will not be issued on these topics at this time, but maybe needed in the future. It is expected that your final evaluation response willspecifically address those portions of the WCAP used, their applicability, and exceptionstaken to the WCAP. For your information, topics under ongoing discussion include:a.Wear rates of pump-wetted materials and the effect of wear on componentoperation b.Settling of debris in low flow areas downstream of the strainer or credit forfiltering leading to a change in fluid compositionc.Volume of debris injected into the reactor vessel and core region d.Debris types and properties e.Contribution of in-vessel velocity profile to the formation of a debris bed or clog f.Fluid and metal component temperature impact g.Gravitational and temperature gradients h.Debris and boron precipitation effects i.ECCS injection paths j.Core bypass design featuresk.Radiation and chemical considerations l.Debris adhesion to solid surfaces m.Thermodynamic properties of coolant35.Your response to GL 2004-02 question (d) (viii) indicated that an active strainer designwill not be used, but does not mention any consideration of any other active approaches(i.e., backflushing). Was an active approach considered as a potential strategy or backup for addressing any issues?36.The NRC staff's SE discusses a
?systematic approach" to the break selection processwhere an initial break location is selected at a convenient location (such as the terminal end of the piping) and break locations would be evaluated at 5-foot intervals in order to evaluate all break locations. For each break location, all phases of the accident scenario are evaluated. It is not clear that you have applied such an approach. Please discuss the limiting break locations evaluated and how they were selected.37.You stated that SE values for destruction pressure and ZOI were applied for each debristype in their evaluations, except for Kaowool and Transco fiber. For Kaowool and Transco fiber, ZOI values were acquired from Table 4-1 of the Nuclear Energy Institute guidance report and a ZOI equivalent to that of unjacketed Nukon (17 D) was applied.
Please discuss the evaluations that were performed to justify that the applied value isapplicable for the Salem-specific insulation type.38.You stated that fibrous debris was characterized into four debris size categories basedon the interpretation of the Boiling Water Reactor Owner's Group (BWROG) Air-Jet Impact Testing (AJIT) data. Please discuss the technical evaluations performed to conclude that this data is applicable for the Salem specific insulation types.39.Has debris settling upstream of the sump strainer (i.e., the near-field effect) beencredited or will it be credited in testing used to support the sizing or analytical design-basis of the proposed replacement strainers? In the case that settling was credited foreither of these purposes, estimate the fraction of debris that settled and describe the analyses that were performed to correlate the scaled flow conditions and any surrogate debris in the test flume with the actual flow conditions and debris types in the plant's containment pool.40.Are there any vents or other penetrations through the strainer control surfaces whichconnect the volume internal to the strainer to the containment atmosphere above the containment minimum water level? In this case, dependent upon the containment pool height and strainer and sump geometries, the presence of the vent line or penetration could prevent a water seal over the entire strainer surface from ever forming; or else this seal could be lost once the head loss across the debris bed exceeds a certain criterion, such as the submergence depth of the vent line or penetration. According to Appendix A to Regulatory Guide 1.82, Revision 3, without a water seal across the entirestrainer surface, the strainer should not be considered to be "fully submerged."
Therefore, if applicable, explain what sump strainer failure criteria are being applied for the "vented sump" scenario described above. 41.What is the basis for concluding that the refueling cavity drain(s) would not becomeblocked with debris? What are the potential types and characteristics of debris that could reach these drains? In particular, could large pieces of debris be blown into the upper containment by pipe breaks occurring in the lower containment, and subsequently drop into the cavity? In the case that large pieces of debris could reach the cavity, are trash racks or interceptors present to prevent drain blockage? In the case thatpartial/total blockage of the drains might occur, do water hold-up calculations used in the computation of NPSH margin account for the lost or held-up water resulting from debris blockage?42.What is the minimum strainer submergence during the postulated LOCA? At the timethat the re-circulation starts, most of the strainer surface is expected to be clean, and the strainer surface close to the pump suction line may experience higher fluid flow than the rest of the strainer. Has any analysis been done to evaluate the possibility of vortexformation close to the pump suction line and possible air ingestion into the ECCS pumps? In addition, has any analysis or test been performed to evaluate the possible accumulation of buoyant debris on top of the strainer, which may cause the formation of an air flow path directly through the strainer surface and reduce the effectiveness of the strainer?43.The September 2005 GL response indicated that your debris transport analysis includedmodeling of fibrous debris erosion. Please explain how you modeled erosion of debris.
