This supplement documents the NRC stafTs Japan using a system of common engmeering documents review of the changes to the ABWR design documentation (CEDs). Design changes identified in CEDs were since the issuance of the FSER. GE made these changes maintained by GE in a controlled list for future action called primarily as a result of first-of-a-kind-engineering (FOAKE) the Design Action List (DAL). GE intended to incorporate and as part of the design certification rulemaking for the the items on the DAL into the supporting documentation for ABWR design.

3 DESIGN OF STRUCTURES, COMPONENTS, EQUIPMENT, AND SYSTEMS , 318 Design of Seismic Category I Structures GE proposed changing the DCD to use higher strength materials for the submerged portions of the lower drywell access tunnels and reactor pressure vessel (RPV) pedestal. The submerged portions will be clad with stainless steel to improve the corrosion resistance of the materials. GE detennined that the changes were necessary based on considerations for the ability to clad and the strength to withstand high thermal stresses. The submerged portion of the RPV pedestal shell required a stainless steel clad and the A572 material specified in the DCD was not suitable , for cladding. The access tunnel shells must withstand a high thermal stress as predicted by detailed structural analyses and the A516 material specified in the DCD had a relatively low yield strength at room temperature. GE proposed ASTM A533, Type B, Class 2 material for the clad portions of the RPV pedestal and lower drywell access tunnels. This material is a fully killed steel, which has very good cladding properties and high strength. Therefore, the NRC staff found these changes to be acceptable because the properties of the proposed material are suitable for the intended application. 1 I l i 3-1 NUREG-1503 Supplement 1 i

5 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM AND CONNECTED SYSTEMS 5.4.6 Reactor Core Isolation Cooling System (RCIC) GE submitted a change to delete the rupture disks thr.t were originally intended to protect the low pressure exhaust side of the RCIC turbine case and exhaust line from over pressurization. GE detemuned that the rupture discs created the potential for an interfacing systems LOCA if the system were subjected b an over presure situation. This potential would be counter to the purpose for the previous upgrade of the RCIC turbine exhaust system to withstand maximum system pressure. Therefore, GE removed the rupture disks from the design to reduce the , potential for a LOCA in the turbine exhaust system. The i NRC staff finds this change to be acceptable because it does not change the findings in the FSER. 5-1 NUREG-1503 Supplement 1
l 9 AUXILIARY SYSTEMS 1 1 9.2 Water Systems 9.4 Heating, Ventilating, and Air ' Conditioning Systems GE determined that the federally mandated phaseout of several commonly used refrigerants required the following GE modified the Reactor Building and Radwaste Building l design changes: (1) changing the description of the llVAC systems to improve system reliability and chillers for the lleating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning maintainability.

OE corrected various inconsistencies between Tier I and Tier 2 of the DCD in the reactor building secondary I containment IIVAC and reactor building non-safety-related I equipment liVAC systems. The NRC staff concludes that the changes ensure that the & sign documentation more accurately represents the design, did not affect the fundamental safety decisions in the FSER, and are acceptable. GE modified the CRHA IIVAC system io provide two independent Class 1E power sources for each pair of boundary isolation dampers, except for Ihe motor-operated isolation dampers which are designed te fail as-is. GE also added a cross-tie in Tier 1 between the two inlet ducts of emergency filtration unit in each divir,on. The changes l assure the necessary alignment of dr.mpers and prevents j the infiltration of unfiltered in-leakage during a design I basis accident and loss of one division of power. The NRC staff concludes that the changes meet SRP Section 9.4 regarding single failure criteria and are, therefbre, acceptable. NUREG-1503 Supplement 1 9-2

14 INITIAL TEST PROGRAM 14.3 Certified Design Material 14J.7.5 Reliability Assurance Program In the FSER, the NRC staff required a high-level commitment to a reliability assurance program in the design documentation. GE committed to provide the required information in a letter dated July 12,1994. This was FSER Confirmatory Item 14.3.7.5-1. GE provided the required infonnation in a modification package to the SSAR and CDM on July 20,1994, and also included this information in the DCD. This is acceptable and resolved FSER Confirmatory Item F14.3.7.5-1. l l l i I i 14-1 NUREG-1503 Supplement 1
15 TRANSIENT AND ACCIDENT ANALYSES 15.4 Radiological Consequences of Accidents Several tables in Section 15.4 of the FSER inadvertently contained incorrect values that were used in the radiological analyses for the ABWR design. These vclues have been corrected as part of the errata in Appendix L of this supplement. Subsequent to issuance of the FSER in July 1994, GE changed the ABWR control room ventilation and filtration system design as reflected in the revisions to FSER Table 15.9. These changes resulted in a decrease in the control room filtered air intake; an increase in the intake filter eflicacy; an increase in charcoal adsorber iodine removal efliciency; and a reduced rate of filtered air recirculation flow. These changes have been incorporated into the SSAR and the DCD. The NRC staff has reviewed these design changes using similar methodology as that described in FSER Section 15.4, and fmds that the changes result in lower radiation doses to control room personnel than previously calculated. The revised Chi /Qs are reflected in the errata in Appendix L to this supplement. Therefore, the NRC staff concludes that the design changes do not alter the conclusions reached in FSER Section 15.4 and in FSER Section 6.4, " Control Room Habitability Systems," and are acceptable. 15-1 NUREG-1503 Supplement 1
t 16 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS l GE modified the technical specifications (TS) by changing the location for temperature measurement from the average UHS temperature to the permanently installed temperature i elements in the reactor service water (RSW) system at the ! inlet piping to the heat exchangers for the reactor building , cooling water system. Additionally, the TS temperature ! limit was reduced to 33.3 *C to provide sufficient operating margia to ensure that the RSW inlet temperature did not 1 exceed the 35 *C assumed for the loss of coolant design basis accident. The TS temperature is sufficiently above l the expected maximum normal operahon RSW inlet temperature of 32.8 *C to minimize the potential of reaching the TS limit during normal operation. Also, GE modified the surveillance frequency for testing the set l points of safety relief valves from 18 months to that i specified in the Inservice Testing program, consistent with l the BWR standard TS. The NRC staff concludes that the l changes ensure /ste:" p eformance, meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.34 au 4 9.36 for technical specifications for the design, and are acceptable. l l l l l l I l i l 1 d l 16-1 NUREG-1503 Supplement 1

I t 19 SEVERE ACCIDENTS GE submitted changes to the DCD to make the _ probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) and severe acculent l analyses more accurately reflect the approved design. The changes were primarily to (1) correct the description of the emergency diesel generator and combustion turbine generator load carrying capabilitics, (2) correct discussions of the turbine semce water isolation features, and (3)
- update the seismic margins analysis. The NRC staff l reviewed the changes to Chapter 19 and concludes that l none of the changes signifx
- antly affected the PRA or
- severe accxlent analyses or results and, therefore, do not change the fundamental safety decisions in the FSER. The l NRC staff also modified its FSER to reflect the revised descriptions in the DCD as part of the errata in Appendix L to this supplement.

As health and safety benefits attributable to a cost-beneficial part of the design certification rulemaking, GE updated design impmvement would approximate $233,000. Thisis SSAR Section 19P, but did not include it in the DCD. a factor of about 1.2 times higher than the $200,000 Instead, GE relocated it to GE's " Technical Support estimate identified in the FSER.

Also, the discussion in this supplement conforms with the final environmental assessment issued with the Most of the candidate design attematives in the TSD were design certification rule, and is based on the updated estimated to cost more than $460,000 and, therefore, were information in the TSD. not cost-beneficial. Of the design attematives that cost less than $460,000, the drywell head flooder was the most cost. In the FSER, the NRC stafT utilized a value of beneficial design modification ($1.7 million/ person-cSv $ 1,000/ person-cSv ($ 1000/ person-rem) averted to averted), as shown in Table 20.5.1 3 of the FSER. estimate that a design improvement that cost more than Ilowever, given that the drywell head flooder was $200,000 would not be cost beneficial. This figure estimated to cost on the order of $ 100,000, under either the conservatively assumed that the total 60-year lifetime risk 7% or 3% discount rate scenario, this design alternative for the ABWR was eliminated by the design improvement would have to eliminate at least 43% or 22%, respectively, (200 person-cSv averted risk x $1,000/ person-cSv = of the total lifetime risk. Since the dr3well head flooder $200,000). Since the FSER was issued, the NRC issued was estimated to only account for less than 10% of the total " Regulatory Analysis Guidelines of the U.S. Nuclear risk, even for this most cost-beneficial design modification, Regulaton Commission" (NUREG/BR-0058, Revision 2, the total costs continued to be well in excess of the total November 1995).

Dear Chairman Jackson:
SUBJECT:
DESIGN CHANGES PROPOSED BY GENERAL ELECTRIC NUCLEAR ENERGY RELATING TO THE CERTIFICATION OF THE U.S. ADVANCED BOILING WATER REACTOR DESIGN During the 433rd meeting of the Advisory Comnittee on Reactor Safeguards, August 8-10, 1996, we reviewed recent design changes proposed by General Electric Nuclear Energy (GENE) relating to the certification of the U.S. advanced boiling-water reactor (ABWR) design. These " design changes" consist of both actual modifications to the design and corrections to the documentation to remove inconsistencies and typographical errors. We had the benefit of discussions with representatives of the NRC staff and of GENE. We also had the benefit of the documents referenced. ConclusfQHl Our review of Supplement I to NUREG-1503, " Final Safety Evaluation Report Related to the Certification of the U.S. ABWR Design," did not change the conclusion reached in our earlier report of April 14, 1994. We continue to believe that acceptable bases and requirements have been established in the application to assure that the U.S. ABWR Standard Design can be used to engineer and construct plants that with reasonable assurance can be operated without undue risk to the health and safety of the public. Backaround and Discussion We have been involved in the review of the U.S. ABWR design since GENE applied for certificetion. This review was carried out in accordance with 10 CFR Part 52, which requires ACRS to report on those portions of 10 CFR Part 52 applications that concern safety. In our April 14, 1994 report to the Commission, we supported the certification of the U.S. ABWR design. This report was included in the staff Safety Evaluation Report (NUREG-1503). The present review is intended to supplement our earlier review of this ABWR application. Sincerely, J. T. S. Kress Chairman NUREG-1503 Supplement 1 21-2

This report supplements the final safety eva!uation report (FSER) for the U.S. Advanced Boiling Water Reactor (ABWR) standard dtsign. The FSER was issued by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Cummission (NRC) staff as NUREG-1503 in July 1994 to document the NRC staffs review of the U S. ABWR design. The U.S. ABWR design was submitted by GE Nuclear Energy (GE) in accordance with the procedures of Subpart G to Part 52 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations. This supplement documents the NRC staffs review of the changes to the U.S. ABWR design documentation since the issuance of the FSER. GE made these changes primarily as a result of first-of-a-kind-engineering (FOAKE) and as a result of the design certification ruitmaking for the ABWR design. On the basis of its evaluation, the NRC staff concludes that the confirmatory issues in NUREG-1503 are resolved, that the changes to the ABWR design documentation are acceptable, and that GE's application for design certification meets the requirements of Subpart B to 10 CFR Part 52 that are applicable and technically relevant to the U.S. ABWR design.
