Serial No.1 0-207 Docket Nos.50-338/339 EGGS PREAGS-RAIPage3of8 RAISCVB-3:

Page 11 ofthelicense amendment requestsaysthe proposed change includes a surveillance requirement to monitor ECGSleakage.This"surveillance requirement" is includedasa Required Action for Conditions8,C,andD.No ECCStestingis being added TS 3.7.12 Surveillance Requirements.

No EGGS test programisbeing added to section 5.5,"ProgramsandManuals", oftheTechnical Specifications as part of this amendment request.(a)Isthe monitoring of the EGCS system leakage part of an existing technical specification otherthanTS 3.7.12?(b)Isthe new surveillance requirement added to meet the requirements of10GFR50.36(c)(3),"Surveillence Requirements"?(c)If not, provide justification for not having a technical specification surveillance requirementtoassurethatthe condition of the systemiswithinthelimiting conditions for operation of the EGGSPREAGSsystemwith inoperablefilterorfilterswillbemet.DominionResponse:

Dominion agreesthattheuseofthe words"surveillance requirement" to monitor ECCS leakage when in ConditionsB,C,or0is inappropriate.

Consistentwith10CFR50.36,"Limiting Conditions for Operation" this surveillance shouldhavebeenreferredtoasa remedial actiontobe performeduntilthe conditioncouldbemet.(a)Yes,TS5.5.2,"Primary Coolant Outside Containment" requiresthatthe leakage fromthosesystems outside containment that could contain highly radioactive fluids during a serious transient or accident be minimizedtolevelsaslowas practicable.

This program requires: (1)Preventive maintenance and periodic visual inspections, and(2)an18month integrated Ieak testforeachof these systems Withinthisprogram, leakage is monitoredandif identified measuredona periodic basis consistentwiththe program requirementsabove.This monitoring is necessary to ensure the leakage is maintained below operationallimits,whichinturn ensuresthatthe system leakage is below the leakage valuesforfilteredand unfiltered leakage assumedinthe accident dose analysis of record.(b)No,The"new surveillance"requiredbythe Conditions,B,C,andDisa remedial action"conditional surveillanoe," that requires monitoring/measuringofECCS leakageatan increased frequency to ensure that the leakage remainsbelowthe operational limit for which filtrationisnotrequiredto meet the accident dose analysis ofrecordand, therefore, continueduseofthe extended CompletionTimeis permitted.

SerialNO.1 0-207 Docket Nos.50-338/339 EGGS PREAGS-RAIPage4of8(c)Iftheextended CompletionTimesareenteredforan inoperable filtertrainor filtertrains,theTSActionsrequirearemedialactionor"conditional surveillance," toverifythatECCSleakageiswithin operationallimitsevery12hoursduringthe extended CompletionTime.Duringplant conditionswhenthefiltersareoperable,theTSProgram5.5.2,"Primary Coolant Outside Containment"requires:(1)leakagebeminimized,(2) periodic maintenanceandinspection,and(3)anintegratedleakrate testofthesystem,whichis adequate to ensure thatsystemleakageis maintainedwithindesignandanalysislimits.RAISCVB-4:Isthe monitoring oftheEGGSleakagethroughvalve packing performedwiththe packing under the differential pressure expected when operating during adesignbasis accident?DominionResponse:Insomecases,thesystempressureexpectedduring accident conditionswillbe higherthanthe operatingsystempressure.As describedonpage 7 of Attachment1ofthe license amendmentrequest(LAR), proceduresrequireanyidentifiedECCSleakagetobeadjustedby conservative calculationtoreflectthe accident conditions (i.e., higherleakageratedueto higher system operatingpressure).Theleakagelogs described inSCVB-1reflectthiscalculated higher value.RAISCVB-5:

What safetyfactorwillbeusedforthe maximum allowableEGGSleakageratetoassure that if an accident should occuranyincrease of leakage overtheduration of the eventwouldnotcausedoselimitstobe exceeded?DominionResponse:

As describedonpage7of Attachment1oftheLAR,a safety factorof2isincludedintheECCSleakagemodeledintheanalysis,Le.,theanalyzed amountis2timesthe AllowableECCSleakage.RAISCVB-6:WhatEGGSleakagewouldbe expected when operating under accident conditions with the maximum allowable unfilteredEGGSleakageand asinglefailure oftheworstcasepumpsealorvalve packing?Will off-site and control room radiologicaldosesremainwithinlimitswithtwotrains ofEGGSPREAGSfilters inoperable?

Serial No.1 0-207 Docket Nos.50-338/339 EGGS PREAGS-RAIPage5of8 Dominion Response:RG1.183removedthe requirement to evaluate the impactofagrosspassive failure (50gpmleakfor30 minutesat24hours after the accident)onthe design basis LOCA dose consequence analysisduetothe arbitrary nature of the assumptions.

Accordingly, this condition is outsideofthe licensing basis forNorthAnna.

Two independent evaluations (Westinghouse and Flowserve) have concluded that catastrophic failureoftheHHSIpumpsealsdueto debrisloadingishighlyunlikely.In the unlikely event thatthesealsdofailinsuchamanner,the disasterbushingwillkeep leakage below50gpm.Ifthiswereto occur the leakagewouldbe directedtothe auxiliarybuildingsump,whichis equippedwithtwo50gpmsumppumpsand redundanthighlevelalarms.An increasing tank level and/oralarmcoupledwitha continuously running auxiliarybuildingsumppumpwouldcausethe operatortoinitiatean inspectionofthe auxiliarybuilding.This inspectionwouldstartwithactive components in systems underhighpressure,as they present the greatestleakpotential.Thus,therunningECCSpumpswouldbeamongthefirstitems checked.However,withbeyondalicensingbasis leakagerate,the accident dose forthecontrolroom operators wouldexceedtheGDC19limits.Areviewofseal leakagesfromallHHSIpumpssincethe installation of Flowserve seals beginning in December 2003 indicates the worst leak experiencedwas20ml/minor1200cc/hr.

Therefore,basedonour internal operating experience, the worst caseexpectedincreaseinECCS leakageduetothe failureofasealorvalvepackingsince installation of Flowservesealsin2004was1200cc/hr.Thecontrolroomand offsitedoselimitsarereachedwhentheECCS leakage increasestothefollowing approximate levels:ControlRoomControlRoom EAB LPZ 5100 cc/hr(0.022gpm) 2900 cc/hr (0.013 gpm)increasingto50gpmfor0.5hrat24hr 6gpm18gpmNotethattheabovevaluesdonotincludea safety factor oftwo.Also,the assessmentisbasedon containment leakageatTSlevels, RWST back-leakageof4800 cc/hr (2400cc/hrallowable),andcontrolroomunfiltered inleakageof250cfm.TheECCS leakageforthecontrolroomdosecouldbeincreasedif measured values for containmentleakage,RWST back-leakageandcontrolroom unfiltered in-leakagewereused.BasedontheworstcaseexpectedincreaseinECCS leakageduetothesingle failure ofasealorvalvepackingbeing1200cc/hr,thecontrolroomand offsite accident doseswillbewithintheGOC19limits.

Serial No.1 0-207 Docket Nos.50-338/339 EGGS PREAGS-RAIPage6of8 RAI SeVB-7:Aserial accounting ofthetime needed to performthetasks neededtoreplacethe filters, perform post-maintenancetesting,anddeclaringthefiltersoperableisusedto justify the proposed 14-day allowedoutagetimeforthefilters.Whatisthe estimatedminimumtime if some ofthetasks are performed concurrently (such as removing the old charcoal concurrent with receipt of the new charcoal)?

Dominion Response:Itispossiblethatthetimecouldbereducedifsometasksareperformedinparallel,suchasHPset-upandremovingoldcharcoalwhilewaitingforthenewcharcoalto arrive (potentially 7%days).However,thereare other variablesthatcould negativelyimpacttheduration,suchas vendor unavailability or weekenddelays.Thepostulated timelineisintendedto representanestimated durationbasedonbest reasonable effort (expedited), withoutunduetimepressurewhichcouldimpactsafety.Thebestestimatefortherepair durationwouldbebetween7-12days.

Without expeditedattention,therepairwould normally take significantly longer.RAI SeVB-8:Thebasisfor 30-daycompletiontimetorestore a filter backtooperablestatus(whenonlyonefiltertraininoperable)isthetime necessarytocompleterepairsonthefilter assembly and/or its associateddampers.Withtwofiltertrainsinoperablethebasisforthe14-daycompletiontimetoreturnonefiltertraintooperablestatusisthatthetime requiredtocomplete necessary repairs on a filter assembly and/or associateddampers.Thelicense amendment requeststatesthatthe replacement of a charcoalfilterassembletakes only 93'2daysevenwhenalltasksare performedinsequence.

Provide adiscussionwhythe necessaryrepairstake longerwhenonefiltertrainis inoperable as opposedtotwofiltertrainsinoperable.

Dominion Response:Thepotentialscenariousedto identify repairtime(i.e.,needtoreplaceallthecharcoalinoneorboth filterbanks)would apply equallytobothconditions.Ifbothtrainsofcharcoalare determinedtobe inoperableandneedreplacement,repairswouldfocusonreplacingonebankatatimetorestorethesystem safetyfunction.The durationidentified(7-12days)isforreturningonebanktoservice.

After that, maintenanceeffortswillfocusonrestoringthesecondtraintooperable.Since7-12dayshaspassedwhilerestoringthe othertrain,thetotaltimetorestorebothtrainsmaytakeupto24 days.Repairtimeisonlyoneofthefactorsonwhichtheproposedactiontimesarebased.Withonlyonetraininoperable,thesecondtrainofECCSfiltrationremains operable toperformitsintended safetyfunction,ifneeded.

ConsistentwithImprovedTechnical Specifications,theproposed CompletionTimeis greaterforone inoperabletrainthan Serial No.1 0-207 Docket Nos.50-338/339 EGGS PREAGS-RAIPage7of8fortwotrainsorall inoperabletrains.Twoorall inoperabletrainsusuallyresultsinlossofsafetyfunction.TheproposedCompletionTimesprovide flexibilitytomanageplantriskandfocusstationsresourcesonexistingplantconditionsand/orinoperable risk/safety significantSSCandstillcompletetherepairsinacontrolledmanner.Inaddition,theextendedCompletionTimesareonlypermittediftheECCSunfilteredleakageisverifiedtobebelowthe1700cc/hrlimit,forwhichthefiltrationisnotnecessarytomeetthe AccidentDoseAnalysislimits.IftheunfilteredECCSleakagewouldexceedthe1700cc/hrlimitwhileintheextendedCompletionTime,theCompletionTimewouldbereducedtothecurrenttimesandthestation managementwouldreassessriskandfocusresources appropriately.

RAJ SCVB*9:Howisthe operability oftheEGGSPumproom boundary determined?

Do technical specification surveillance requirements exist for determining boundary operability?

Ifthereis,no surveillance requirements to determine the operability oftheEGGSPump room boundary provide a discussion for determining entranceintoor exit fromGonditionD.DominionResponse:Inadditionto operatorroundsoncepershift (currentlytwelvehours)andmonthlyengineeringwalk-downs,the operabilityoftheECCSpumproomboundaryisdeterminedbytheverificationofanegativepressurerelativetothesurroundingareainthepumproomsduring accidentalignment.Ifanegativepressuredoesnotexistwiththesamesuctionflowconditions,thiscouldbeanindicationthatabreachofthepumproomboundaryexists.Thisnegativepressure verificationisa surveillance requirement(SR3.7.12.5)andisperformedaspartofthePREACS performancetestevery18months.Ifanegativepressurecannotbeverifiedduringthe performanceofthesurveillancetest,theECCStrainswouldbedeclaredinoperableresultinginentryintoTSCondition 3.7.12.8 for inoperablepumproomboundary.

RAJ SCVB*1 0:Whatisthe expected frequency for entryintoCondition C,"TwoECCS PREACS trainsinoperabledueto inoperable filtration capability"?DominionResponse:Since2002,whenNorthAnnaconvertedtoImprovedTechnical Specifications, NorthAnnaenteredTS3.0.3twotimes.Ineachcase,thecausewasinoperablefiltrationcapabilityduetoaleakageissueassociatedwith dampersandnot specifically attributedtocharcoal.Correctiveactionshavebeentakentoincreasethereliabilityofthesedampersandtheassociatedactuatorsaswellasheightened awarenessoftheactivitiesthatcouldimpactthecharcoal(painting,cleaning,etc).
