Monticello - Additional Draft RAI from Containment and Ventilation Branch re. proposed EPU amendment (TAC MD9990)

Ken: On 3/19/09 (see below) I e-mailed you draft RAI questions 1 - 36 generated by the Containment and Ventilation Branch. Afterwards I received questions 37 and 38. Please add these to the set of draft questions. Thanks.

37. Regulatory Guide 1.82 Revision 3 states that the use of containment accident pressure is acceptable for operating reactors when there is no practicable alternative. Please explain why there is no practicable way that Monticello can be modified (design change, procedures, etc.) so that the need for containment accident pressure in determining available NPSH is not necessary.
38. Please address why associated circuit issues cannot result in either a loss of containment integrity or actuation of containment overcooling during those Appendix R fire events which require use of containment accident pressure in determining available NPSH.
