J. Dixon-Herrity Summary of Meeting:
On March 8, 2018, staff from the NRC conducted a public meeting with representatives from SNC to discuss technical information regarding crediting China FOAK testing for SNCs VEGP Units 3 and 4.
SNC walked through the presentation, noting that they intend to submit LARs to credit First Plant Only Tests (FPOTs) and First Three Plant Only Tests (F3POTs) completed on the China AP1000 units (Sanmen Units 1&2 and Haiyang Unit 1) for VEGP Units 3 and 4. SNC discussed that they completed an assessment of the implementation of the Quality Assurance (QA) program used in China, which included a review of completed tests and test procedures for QA adherence, and the assessment resulted in no impacts to the test results. SNC also noted that an industry subject matter expert performed a comparison of Chinese Regulations to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50, Appendix B and concluded that the requirements are comparable.
SNC discussed the applicability of the FPOTs and F3POTs in China to VEGP Units 3 and 4.
SNC emphasized that the major passive core cooling system (PXS) components, reactor coolant system (RCS) components (including the reactor vessel and reactor vessel internals),
and the RCS pressure boundary piping in China and at VEGP Units 3 and 4 are (1) manufactured to the same design specification, (2) procured to the same quality requirements imposed by the design specification, and (3) built to the same design tolerances. SNC noted that because of the standardization of the AP1000 design, the FPOTs and F3POTs performed in China can be used to further establish the unique phenomenological performance parameters of the AP1000 design features that will not change from plant to plant.
The staff stated that they understood SNCs proposed approach to submit LARs to revise the FPOTs and F3POTs in the VEGP Units 3 and 4 combined licenses. The staff noted that the LARs would need to demonstrate the adequacy of the QA program used in China and the acceptability and applicability of the China FPOTs and F3POTs results to VEGP Units 3 and 4 and that the staffs detailed review of the LARs would be performed once the LARs are formally submitted.
At the end of the open portion of the meeting, there was an opportunity for the public to provide comments and ask questions. All comments or questions from members of the public were addressed by the staff before the public portion of the meeting ended.
In the closed portion of the meeting, the proprietary details of the QA program used in China, the China FPOTs and F3POTs results, and the applicability of the results to VEGP Units 3 and 4 were discussed.
