SGTR SER RESPONSE

1. "Each utility in the SGTR subgroup must confirm that they have in place simulators and training programs which provide the required assurance that the necessary actions and times can be taken consistent with those assumed for the HCAP-10698 design basis analysis. Demonstration runs should be performed to show that the accident can be mitigated within a period of time compatible with overfill prevention, using design basis assumptions regarding available equipment, and to demonstrate that the operator action times assumed in the analysis are realistic."

Discussion:

A Plant Vogtle referenced simulator is employed for on-site SGTR training. Licensed operators are trained in the proper use of Emergency Operating Procedures (E0Ps) relative to the SGTR event per procedure 19030-1 (ERG E-3). During the months of October and November 1986, various groups of students in operator training were tested on the simulator using eight different SGTR scenarios. This testing was performed specifically to obtain a data base of operator action times to be used in the SGTR analysis contained herein. As documented in Enclosure 2 "SGTR Event Operator Action Times Using Vogtle Simulator," NCA-7002, February 1987, the operator times are in good agreement with those of HCAP-1069a. The times used for the plant specific analysis are those noted in Table 8 of Enclosure 2 under the "MAXIMUM" column. At the time this report was prepared Plant Vogtle personnel were in operator training and had not yet then their NRC license examinations. This provides additional assurance that conservative operator action cimes were used for the SGTR analysis.

2. "A site specific SGTR radiation offsite consequence analysis which assumes the most severe failure identified in HCAP-10698, Supplement 1. The analysis should be performed using the methodology in SRP Section 15.6.3 as supplemented by the guidance in a letter from H. Berkow, NRC, to Alan Ladieu Chairman, SGTR Subgroup

SGTR SER RESPONSE Discussion:

A site specific analysis has been performed and is documented in Enclosure 3, HCAP-11731, "LOFTTR2 Analysis for a Steam Generator Tube Rupture Event for the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Units 1 and 2," January 1988 (Proprietary). This analysis assumes the most severe failure as identified in HCAP-10698 Supplement 1. The results are well within the 10 CFR 100 limits as required by the acceptance criteria in SRP Section 15.6.3.

As this enclosure contains information proprietary to Westinghouse Electric Corporation, it is supported by an Application for Hithholding, (Attachment 1 to Enclosure 3), signed by Hestinghouse, the owner of the information. Attachment 1 includes the affidavit, AH-76-31, which sets forth the basis on which the information may be withheld from public disclosure by the Commission and addresses with specificity the considerations listed in paragraph (b)(4) of Section 2.790 of the Commission's regulations.

Accordingly, it is respectfully requested that the information proprietary to Westinghouse be withheld from public disclosure in accordance with 10 CFR Section 2.790 of the Commission's regulations. Correspondence with respect to the proprietary aspects of the Application for Hithholding or the supporting Hestinghouse affidavit should reference CAH-88-Oli and should be addressed to R. A. Hiesemann, Manager, Regulatory and Legislative Affairs, Westinghouse Electric Corporation, P. O. Box 355, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15230.

Enclosure 4 contains HCAP-11732, "LOFTTR2 Analysts for a Steam Generator Tube Rupture Event for the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Units 1 and 2 January 1988 (Non-Proprietary).

3. "An evaluation of the structural adequacy of the main steam lines and associated supports under water-filled conditions as a result of SGTR overfi l l . "

Discussion:

The Vogtle specific analysis demonstrates that the steam generators do not overfill; however, the Vogtle main steam line structural design is adequate to support water-filled conditions as a result of 0778m El-2 02/29/88 SL-4149 a imm

SGTR SER RESPONSE a postulated SGTR overfill. The stress analysis and support design for the Vogtle main steam lines considered a water filled pipe from the steam generator nozzle to the containment penetration. The piping stress analysis used the dead weight load assuming the line filled with water. The analytical results demonstrate that the piping stresses remain with code limits, and that the steam generator nozzle and containment penetration loads remain within vendor allowable values. The spring supports can accommodate the water filled line while remaining within their working range. The thermal loads and stresses are unaffected by having the main steam line filled with water. A seismic stress analysis was not performed with piping full of water. The main steam line outside containment between the containment penetration and the HSIV is supported by rigid type restraints. These supports are designed for water filled line loads. Plant Vogtle has two MSIVs for each steamline; therefore, water filled conditions need not be postulated beyond the HSIVs.

4. "A list of systems, components and instrumentation which are credited for accident mitigation in the plant specific SGTR E0P(s). Specify whether each system and component specified is safety grade. For primary and secondary PORVs and control valves specify the valve motive power and state whether the motive power and valve controls are safety grade. For non-safety grade systems and components state whether safety grade oackups are available which can be expected to function or provide the desired information within a time period compatible with preve*1 tion of SGTR overfill or justi fy that non-safety grade components can be utilized for the design basis event. Provide a list of all radiation monitors that could be used for the identification of the accident and the ruptured steam generator and specify the quality and reliability of this instrumentation if possible. If the E0Ps specify steam generator sampling as a means of ruptured SG identification, provide the expected time period for obtaining the sample results and discuss the effect on the duration of the accident."

Discussioni Enclosure 5 contains a list of all systems, components and instrumentation which are required to carry out each of the steps in the VEGP SGTR E0P, E-3. All systems and components listed under "Principal Equipment" required by the operator for execution of E-3 are safety grade. This includes valve motive power and controls for both the primary and secondary PORVs.

ENCLOSURE 1 (Continued)

SGTR SER RESPONSE Plant Vogtle 'provides radiation monitors for each 'of the main steam lines, the condenser air ejector, and the steam generator blowdown line, specifically:

o RE-13119, RE-13120, ~ RE-13121,- and RE-13122 are the main steam line monitors. The purpose of these monitors is to detect steam generator tube leakage and to monitor this potential release path. One detector is used on the each main steam line upstream of the main steam line isolation and atmospheric dump valves.

These monitors are safety grade.

o RE-12839A, RE-128398, and RE-12839C are the condenser particulate, iodine, and radiogas monitors, respectively. ~The purpose of these monitors is to continuously measure activity in the discharge from the air ejector exhaust header of the condenser (which is indicative of a primary to secondary system leak)-and steam packing exhauster monitor effluent path. These monitors are non-safety grade.

o RE-0019 is the steam generator sample liquid process monitor.

The purpose of this monitor is to monitor the liquid phase of the secondary side of the steam generators for activity and to provide backup information to the air ejector radiogas monitor

. RE-12839C. This monitor is non-safety grade.

The -E0Ps do not require sarpling as a means of identifying the

' ~

affected steam generator. Although the steam line monitors are l safety-grade and are listed in the E0Ps as one of the means of ,

identifying the affected SG, no credit is taken for them in the analysis. This is consistent with the methodology in HCAP-10698 and

, is an additional conservatism in the Vogtle analysis. '.

5. "A survey of plant primary and "balance-of-plant" systems design to determine the compatibility with the bounding plant analysis in HCAP-10698. Major design differences should be noted. The worst single failure should be identified if different from the HCAP-10698 analysis and the effect of the differences on the margin of overfill  ;

.should be provided." -

GeorgiaPower A ENCLOSURE 1 (Ccntinued)

SGTR SER RESPONSE Discussion:

A Vogtle specific analysis was performed (see Enclosure 3,Section II) to determine the margin to overfill for a design basis SGTR for the Vogtle units. This analysis was performed using the LOFTTR2 code and the methodology of HCAP-10698. The analysis model used for item (2) above was used for this analysis, but the initial conditions and assumptions which are conservative with respect to overfill were used. This analysis used the operator action times established for item (1) above.
