3.0 STAFF EVALUATION - DETAILED COMMENTS / CONCERNS The NRC staff and its consultants have reviewed the ipplicant's Program Plan and find that the Plan has been structured in accordance principles identified in this document, except as noted in the staff's evaluation of August 9,1985, and in this evaluation. The Program Plan is comprehensive in scope and provides a structure capable of address existing and future external issues, as well as a set of self-initiated programs intended to demonstrate the adequacy of design and cons at CPSES. The NRC staff's detailed concerns and comments on the C Peak Program Plan, Revision 2, are presented in the following sections -

this report.

These detailed concerns and comments supplement the Only those programmatic concerns previously transmitted to the applicant.

sections of the Plan for which the staff has comments are report. As ir.dicated in our previous report, the staff's concerns and comments s.ust be satisfactorily resolved prior to final approval of the Plan.

e 3-1

3.1 MAlh REPORT (SECTIONS I _TO Vlll) AND ATTACHEMENT51-5)

INTRODUCTION The general objectives of the Applicant's Program Plan are provided in this section are the CPRT's Principles, Charter, Methodology, Process and Organization. The foundation on which the remainder of the Plan is built ,

is presented here; all other sections essentially implement the process l described in Sections I through Vill.

f l

COMMENTS / CONCERNS l

1. The criteria for determination of a deficiency is based on safety significance. Appendix E of the Plan defines safety significance as 4

follows:

"Theidentifieddesign(orconstruction) discrepancy,ifuncorrected, i

would result in the loss of capability of the affected system, structure, or component to perform its intended safety function.

Credit is not allowed for redundancy at the component, system, train or structure level."

A deficiency is the major mechanism used to increase sample size. Appendix K, Attachment 5, addresses Scope Expansion for the Design Adequacy Program (DAP) by stating that it gy be necessary to expand the scope to investigate trends, deviations, or root causes. Scope expansion is a requirementonlywhen(a) deficiencies (safetysignificantconcern) exist.

(b)oneormoredeviationsexistthatwouldbedeficienciesifoccurring elsewhere or (c) design activities are affected by identified root causes, However, a deviation which is a violation to licensing comitments.may not f be safety significant and, therefore, will not result in an increase of I the sample size. In addition, the criteria for determination of whether a deviation will be a deficiency can vary from component to component or system to system depending upon the plant event and the component or f

system function under consideration in the evaluation of the deviation.

i.

- ------ --- ~ ~ --- -- " - ~

The concern is that compliance with the FSAR, Codes, and NRC guidelines and determination of acceptability cannot be assured until the evaluation

' of each specific component is completed and the acceptance criteria

specified. Furthermore, this approach does not appear to be in compliance
with the commitment in'the letter of transmittal that:

' "It should be made unequivocally clear that we consider satisfaction '

of our FSAR commitments as the first guiding principle in execution of the CPRT program."

For example, in the Piping and Supports DSAP, the Plan states that the purpose is to provide reasonable assurance that all safety significant piping and pipe support deficiencies have been identified and resolved.

Attachment 2, which is the Stone and Webster reanalysis effort, does not l

define acceptance criteria for piping and supports. It does, however, I

refertoaprocedure(CPPP-7)whichcontainstheanalysisapproachand criteria for Class 2 and 3 piping systems. It is assur.ed that the l

acceptance criteria for Class 2/3 piping and Class 1/2/3 supports are specifically included in procedure CPPP-7 and comply with the current FSAR. The third-party review activity for piping is to ensure consistency with the input and conformance to applicable Code and specification acceptance criteria. This is not a specific statement of compliance with current FSAR comitments. In the pipe support area, the third-party review is to ensure that the functional and capacity requirements identified in I, the piping analysis are met. Again, this does not ensure a comitment to

the current FSAR.

J It is the staff's position that all acceptance criteria should be the

.l ' current licensing comitments. Where licensing comitments cannot be met, the proposed acceptance criteria should be defined and the applicant should submit a request for modification to current comitments. The definition of acceptance criteria prior to Plan implementation is critical in order for the applicant to avoid performing extensive work which may need to be repeated if the staff finds the acceptance criteria unacceptable. '

l J For those areas for which criteria cannot be established at this time, the e

l 3-3 ,

.-%-..,_-_,_,_._.___._,,,.,_.~..,-.mm,., ..-,._.m.. _ , , , . - _m_,.,, . -,-.-

Plan should include tasks which are aimed at quickly providing the necessary l

input to make appropriate judgments and to assist in establishing criteria.

j Augment the Plan to identify areas which:

i (1) will not meet licensing commitments, or s

(2) . acceptance criteria are not deteminable at this time.

f i

2. Corrective action for the resolution of only external source issues by the CPRT is provided on page 2. The provision of corrective action by the CPRT is not explicitly stated in this section for root cause effects or ,

I generic implications of external source issues nor for deficiencies uncovered in the self-initiated program. For example, page 8 indicates the CPRT is responsible for specifying corrective action yet it does not appear I

on the list of items covered by the CPRT Program Plan (page 3). The i

i responsibility for providing corrective action should be uniform throughout the Plan. The CPRT should provide corrective action to TUGC0 in the fom of a number of acceptable alternatives. This would allow TUGC0 to select j

' the most appropriate solution for their current situation. In order to provide consistency revise the CPRT Program Plan to define corrective

- action for all deficiencies uncovered in implementing the Plan. In

' additiott to defining corrective action, the CPRT should provide third-party review of the corrective action because of the CPRT's familiarity with the issues. Revise the Plan to clearly define this third-party review l

responsibility.  ;

Also, the staff has indicated in its August 9. 1985 evaluation the need I for the applicant to augment the Program Plan to describe the criteria and jl -

the CPRT overview role for assuring that the CPSES project will This is satisfactorily implement CPRT-reconnended corrective actions.

necessary to assess the overall adequacy of TUGC0 recovery efforts and the finished Quality Program. The Applicant's Program Flan does not convey that all recovery, rework, and other corrective action activities that are

' 3-4 i

i

N-6 g - v g yy - -.

presently ongoing at the site are being appropriately integrated. Revise the Plan to describe the criteria and the CPRT overview role for assuring implementation of corrective action.

On page 12 of 22 Item III.K. paragraph 4 describes the implementation of CPRT-recommended corrective action. Since the Non-Conformance Report (NCR) and corrective action systems are an issue under review by the CPRT in ISAP VII.a.2, there is a concern that corrective action taken in any area prior to the satisfactory resolution of this ISAP may result in inconsis-tencies. The CPRT should review the impact of establishing corrective actions prior to the resolution of ISAP VII.a.2. Provide the results of this review.

On page 5 of 22. Items 11 and III contain an apparent conflict as to which organization is responsible for specifying corrective actions. Item II indicates TUGC0 will define corrective actions to the satisfaction of the CPRT while Item III indicates the CPRT will specify corrective actions.

The organizational responsibilities must be clearly defined and adhered to during implementation of the Plan. Resolve this inconsistency.

, 3. The training of personnel working on CPRT activities is discussed in the CPRT Prog' ram Plan. However, there is no discussion that the training pro-i grams utilized will be controlled and subject to review. Further, the Plan

' does not indicate that personnel training will be documented. Describe the process for documenting, controlling, and reviewing training programs utilized by the CPRT and the process for documenting that personnel working on CPRT related activities have received required training.

I

4. On page 3 of 22, the third Objective states that when completed, "the results will be extrapolatable to all design criteria, disciplines, processes and organizations involved in the design of the safety significant aspects of the plant that is not designed by Westinghouse, the l

NSSS vendor. This is a broad statement and does not provide the basis for

~

the extrapolation. Provide a more detailed discussion of the basis and i technical justification for such a statement. ,

3-5

.f

5. On page 4 of 22, Item II states that TUEC is responsible for determining where and to what extent Unit 2 incorporates the lessons learned from CPRT actions on Unit 1. However, the details of how CPRT actions address Unit 2 are not provided in the Plan. Provide the basis and rationale for incorporating Unit 1 actions in Unit 2, and identify the procedure to be used where TUEC does not intend to adopt for Unit 2 the CPRT recommendations for Unit 1.
6. On page 6 of 22. Item III.A. the Plan states that each external source issue will be thoroughly evaluated, even if a preliminary assessment indicates that an issue has no safety significance. However, the Plan does not define the approach to be used in evaluating each of these external source issues after preliminary assessment of no safety significance. The Plan should provide the approach to be used in the overall evaluation of these external source issues. ,
7. On pages 6 and 7 of 22, Items III.C and D identify the principles of the Program Plan pertaining to root cause determination and generic implication evaluation that are required to ensure that the CPRT objectives are satisfied. The CPRT objectives of the Program Plan, however, are not complete in these areas since trending of deviations has not been apdressed as indicated previously on page 2 of 22, Item I.

Modify the Plan to define trending of deviations and include it as a requirement to ensure satisfactory completion of the objectives, or justify its omission.

8. On page 9 of 22, Item !!!.I states that sampling techniques are used in many of the CPRT ISAPs and DSAPs. This section further defines the sampling method, basis for sampling and rejection criteria. However, a review of the individual ISAPs and DSAPs reveals that they do not explicitly define the sampling method, basis, and rejection criteria as stated in this section. The Plan should be modified to insure that individual ISAPs and DSAPs are consistent with the sampling requirements of this section.

3-6

g. Onpage13,theDesignAdequacyProgram(DAP)Planprovidesfor(a) complete reanalysis of a given design area rather than addressing specific issues, and (b) proceeding directly to hardware modifications rather than evaluating existing hardware by analysis. The staff is concerned that when a DAP topic proceeds directly to a hardware modification, the issues which led to that decision will not be evaluated to assure that program or procedural deficiencies do not axist elsewhere. The CPRT should provide a

- process which, upon implementation, would address this concern, or justify its omission.

10. The following general connents concern the comparison of compliance of .

individual ISAPs with the requirements presented in Attachment 3 of the Main Report. These comments involve the content of the ISAPs and not the format. Correct the ISAPs to include:

o Procedures are required by Attachment 3 to implement action, yet these actions are not identified in all ISAPs.

o Confidence level definitions are not consistent.

o Sampling plans and bases are not always defined or consistent.

4 o

  • Acceptance standards criteria against which revisions are being performed are'not consistently provided in all ISAPs.

o Decision criteria are not consistent, are only available in some plans, are marked N/A in others and, in general, do not describe the criteria for closing out the item.

o Other participants referred to in the action plans should be identified.

o Interfaces between disciplines and interdependent activities are not explicitly defined.

3.2 DESIGh ADEQUACY PROGkAM PLAN (APPENDIX A)

IhTRODUCTION The Design Adequacy Program Plan (DAP) has been developed by the CPRT to evaluate and resolve a number of concerns regarding the adequacy of the CPSES design and design process. This Appendix provides the methodology I

forexecutionofDisciplineSpecificActionPlans(DSAPs)whicharethe basis for the implementation of the DAP. DSAPs are organized in accordance with the design disciplines and include (1) civil / structural, (2) piping / supports, (3) mechanical systems and components, and (4) ~

elec'trical/ instrumentation and control systems and components.

COMENTS/ CONCERNS

1. In general, the DSAPs which follow the methodology of this Appendix provide a comprehensive approach to adequately address the design and design process issues raised by external sources. However, in order for the CPRT to adequately investigate the root cause of each safety l

significant deficiency found, the staff finds that there needs to be a mutually agreeable definition of the term " safety significant".

The use of " safety significant" as currently defined for all dissipline issues is unacceptable. See coment number 1 of the hain

- Report (Sections I to Vill). The Program Plan should be modified to provide an acceptable definition for " safety significant".

2. It is not completely clear in the DAP who is responsible for recomending corrective actions, implementing the corrective actions, and following up the implementation of the corrective actions.

Provide further information to specifically address how the above responsibilities are handled with respect to the piping / support, cable tray / conduit support, and self-initiated efforts. See coment number 2oftheMainReport(SectionsItoVIll.)

3. The end products of the DAP will be (1) Results Reports for all Category 1, 2 and 3 DSAPs, and (2) a final Design Adequacy Program Report documenting a Collective Evaluation. Appendix A should be 1

3-8 l

modified to confirin that end products as they are completed will be issued concurrently to the appropriate parties (applicant, intervenors,andhkCstaff).

4. Attachment 1, page 18, identifiec " Check of Supplier Docus.entation" as one of the CPRT Program Plan activities during the evaluation of design QA/QC. However, the Attachment 4 matrices. Page 22 through 29 do not include this activity. Reconcile this difference.
5. Attachment 4,page23,doesnotindicatedesignoutputreviewfor(1) system alignment /switchover (2) flow requirements and (3) stored volume. Provide justification for this omission.
6. Attachment 4, page 23, indicates a review area on heat removal capa-bility. However, since AFW does not include heat exchangers, design adequacy on heat removal capability can not be judged by review of the water makeup supply to steam generators. Identify other provisions made for addressing this review area.
7. Attachment 4,page24,doesnotindicatedesignoutputreviewfor(1) single failure /FMEA, (2) class 5 piping (3) High Energy Line Break,

Section 1 describes the three components of the Design Adequacy Review: (1) evaluation of concerns raised by the External Source issues;(2)investigationofrootcauses,genericimplicationsand safety significance of the deficiencies identified by the External sourceIssues;and(3)self-initiatedevaluation.

l This Section indicates that upon completion of the first two compon-ents of the Design Adequacy Review, the CPRT will be able to assess the adequacy of the design at CPSES, the process by which that design was accomplished, and the effectiveness of implementation of the ,

dettign 4A program. The staff does not believe that such a statement i

can be made based solely on the results from the first two components of the Design Adequacy Review. The staff believes that the self-initiated evaluation is necessa'ry in order to fully assess the adequacy of the design. The Program Plan should be amended to reflect that the execution of the proposed three components of the Design Adequacy Program Plan is necessary before a conclusion can be reached about the adequacy of the design, its process and QA program, Section 4.0, " Responsibilities," Attachment 6, Page 43, describes the t

f, 1. Section 11. Page 7 paragraph 2, states that " Categories of safety-related hardware constructed using similar safety-related work l

' activities will be placed into reasonably homogeneous populations (based on similarity of construction process, similarity of com-ponents, or both), the adequacy of which can be verified using similar reinspection techniques and/or documentation review activities." Tha Plan states that the final list of homogeneous hardware populations will be defined after the engineer,ing drawings

~

and specifications have been researched to ensure homogeneity of each population. The staff believes that researching specifications and drawings to ensure homogeneity of hardware populations is unnecessary

  • since populations will be selected on similarity of construction work activities.

Section 4.1.1, " Establish Populations." Page 3 of Action Plan VII.c of Appendix C states that the process to establish homogeneous hard-were populations is specified in a QA/QC Review Team instruction. The staff review of this instruction indicates that it does not but should include the necessary basic information to permit an independent evaluation of how the homogeneous hardware populations are to be established.

3-14

The section titled APPLICATIONS, Page 1 of Appendix D indicates that '

the construction process produces hardware by execution of numerous relatively unitom construction activities. No other information has been presented in this section, Appendix D, or the CPRT Program Plan describing how homogeneous hardware populations are to be established.

The basis for establishing homogeneous hardware populations has been a subject of concern expressed in various meetings with the members of the CPRT.

The staff expected that this subject would be properly .

addressed in the Program Plan. However, it remains unexplained. The staff considers the establishing of the hardware populations to be the main foundation of the self-initiated Quality of Construction and Construction QA/QC Adequacy Program Plan. The basis used to fom this foundation must be clearly stated.

Include the basis and rationale for establishing homogeneous hardware populations. The Plan must include a step by step explanation of how l

Furthemore, describe the construction work process for cables and explain how it will be determined that it was the.same for all types of cables fror. the time the first cable was installed at CPSES until now.

Discipline-Specific Action Plan Item No. VIII Rev. O TITLE CIVIL / STRUCTURAL DISCIPLINE SPECIFIC ACTION PLAN INTRODUCTION This Discipline-Specific Action Plan (DSAP) for the civil / structural discipline is both Issue-Responsive and Self-Initiated as defined in Section IV of the program plan. The self-initiated portion of this DSAP includes the areas of concrete and structural steel, design, and HVAC and "other" supports. The l issue-responsive portion of this DSAP includes seismic Category II items, steam generator lateral supports, cable tray supports, and conduit supports. The number of external issues raised in the area of cable tray and conduit supports necessitated the formation of a subprogram (CTCS). This subprogram has been j developed to evaluate sed resolve all external source issues and to establish design adequacy fc- as hardware by analyses, testing and/or direct modifications.

COMMENTS / CONCERNS

1. HVAC and'other support designs which have been selected will only be reviewed for modeling assumptions, analysis procedure, design methodology, and interface between vendors and design organization. This portion of the civil / structural design review scope should also address the design process, including all issues raised in the cable tray / conduit support areas; e.g., choice of anchorage, design changes. Appropriately broaden the scope or provide justification for the proposed scope. .
2. Define the root cause and any generic implications prior to the initiation of the cable tray / conduit support subprogram and the review and evaluation of the HVAC plan. Further define the sample size of the two systems for the HVAC supports and clarify what is a " system" and do two systems constitute an acceptable sample relative to population size. f 3-58
3. The self-initiated portion of the DSAP provides a " vertical slice" review approach, with exploratory samples in specific areas. The size of the samples presented in this DSAP for some topics is inadequate to demonstrate to extrapolate the results to total populations with confidence. Forinstance,intheareaofequipmentmounting(page16of 35), only one' mechanical and one electric mounting will be reviewed. The basis of sampling for the concrete and steel analysis and design is not known, nor is the size and scope of a " calculation" known as presented in Section 4.2.2.1. The sample size of design activities in general should be such that the population selected will be extracted from all design groups involved within, as well as external to, the Architect-Engineer.

The sample sizes should be increased and the bases justified to provide the level of confidence defined in the third objective of the program plan.

4. One area of concern not apparent in the scope of this DSAP is embedments.

Since many pipe, conduit, and cable tray supports are currently being reanalyzed within the current scope of the plan, the loading on the embedments, including items such as Richmond inserts, and the loading on the structure as a whole must be reevaluated. Include embedments and load trackingtinthescopeoftheDSAPorjustifyitsomission.

5. The containment Building consists of a concrete structure with an integrally attached liner plate. Review of the containment design should also include the liner and anchorage, or the omission of these attributes justified.
6. The decision criteria, identification of specific procedures, schedule, and definition of a " reject", as specified in the general DSAP format presented in Attachment 4 of the program plan, have not been incorporated in Revisio U of the DSAP. Provide clarification of these items.
7. The Cable Tray and Conduit Supports (CTCS) subprogram, as currently structured, does not rely on current industry practice in the design area.

Page 6 of Item No. VIII states:

I -

3-59

A "The objective of the CTCS program will be to demonstrate functional performance by verifying overall system perfonnance. Emphasis will be directed at verification of adequate anchorage and support to j 4

l insure stable behavior." l The subprogram is heavily research oriented and does not comply with the approach used on Unit 2. The criterion, which will be developed from this subprogram, appears to be based on functional capability of cable trays af ter (or during) a seismic event, whereas the FSAR states that supports

will meet AISC criteria.

The sample size may not result in a generic criterion which can be applied to all cable trays and supports and are, therefore, not defendable. The subprogram plan as written will not demonstrate compliance with FSAR comitments. Amend the DSAP to resolve this concern.

8. The last paragraph of Section 3.1, page 4. states that "any additional hardware components identified to exhibit undesirable behavior will be identified to the project and modified." Provide a definition of

" undesirable behavior."

e

g. In $ection 4.2.1.4. page 13. the self-initiated portion of the DSAP (e.g.,

concrete, steel. HVAC) should be based on the latest infomation available which includes all the modifications, changes and DCAs incorporated during the construction of the plant. Clarify how the civil / structural DSAP will provide assurance that there are no significant mismatches between as-built conditions and the final design requirements.

10. In Section 4.2.2.2 page 15. the structural steel review is limited to only two " sections." Clarify the definition of a "section" and why these two sections will represent the population.
11. In Table V111.1 page 20. ACI-349-76. Appendix B is used as reference for the design factor of safety for Richmond inserts. Justify the basis for its use.

Item No. H Rev. O TITLE PIPING AND SUPPORT 5 DISCIPLINE SPECIFIC ACT10h PLAN INTRODUCT.10N This 05AP has been developed to provide reasonable assurance that all fafety significant piping and pipe support deficiencies have been identified and resolved.

COMMENT 5/ CONCERN 5 This 05AP provides an adequate framework to resolve a number of external source issues identified in piping and support design, contingent upon an acceptable resolution of the following comments and concerns identified by the staff.

1. The major area of concern with the reanalysis of piping and supports is that the details required for review are contained in procedures which are not included in the Plan. This 05AP is highly dependent on the technical and engineering details to be provided in Stone & Webster project procedures CPPP-5 CPPP-6 and CPPP-7. Compliance with licensing comitm6nts must be inherent in the details provided in these procedures.

P'rovide these procedures for NRC staff review.

2. Additional inforsation is required regarding the process of verification

- for the small bore piping. Paragraph 2.0 simply states that "small bore piping and supports will be verified on a sampling basis." The only other place in this plan where small bore piping is mentioned is in Attachment 2, paragraph g, where the Plan states " reanalysis of small bore (20 and under) piping and supports on a sampling basis to verify adequacy."

Provide details to the Plan including, but not limited to, the following:

1. The basis for sampling; i.e., what are the samples and how will they be defined?
2. What will be done with the samples when they are defined?
3. What is the acceptance criteria to be used?

3 68

e

, 3. There are a number of enternal issues associated with piping and supports.

Apparently, due to the major rework in the area by Stone and Webster, Issue Specific Action Plans will g be generated. It is understood in the plan, paragraph 4.2.1.1 that the issues will be identified, reviewed, evaluated and tracked by the Third Party Review. Document the method to accomplish this third party review.

4. Even though a ' complete reenalysis is being performed on the ASME Class 2 and 3 large bore piping and pipe supports, root cause and gener'c implications for all issues must still be obtained since it may affect I

other disciplines. Also, root cause and generic implications for all issues must be evaluated for the small bore piping to determine if a sampling approach for the small bore piping and supports will be sufficient.

5. Concerns have been identified by the staff related to support / piping interdependence. The concerns include the ability to properly model the support in the piping analysis so that the piping analytical response is representative of its actual behavior, and the determination of representative loading in uniquely designed support structures.

Specifi'cally address in the D5AP the techniques to be used (or the referencedprocedures)inresolvingtheseconcerns.

6. It appears that the adequacy of supports to comply with licensing commitments will be demonstrated by initially reviewing existing analyses
  • rather than performing a reanalysis. provide a rore detailed description of the approach to be used. criteria to be applied, and extent of the review required for the pipe support requalification effort.
7. page 1. Section 3.0, 2nd paragraph states that none of the external source issues has been shown to be a safety significant deficiency. Clarify what is the basis of the no safety significant deficiency statement with respect to external source issues.

3 69

6. Page 2, Section 4.2, last sentence states that the third party l

l verification of the SWEC effort will provide reasonable assurance that all identified issues are resolved and presently unidentified issues are detected and resolved. Include details in the plan as to how this third party verification will be accomplished.

9. On page 2, Sectior 4.2.1.1, we are concerned that previously identified external source issues such as the CVGNA 1AP, ASLB, intervenor, and staff concerns are still pending. The CPRT should assure that all external source issues in the SWEC scope of responsiblity are clearly identified prior to initiation of piping reanalysis by SWEC.
10. On page 4, Section 4.2.1.3, it states that procedures will be reviewed to assure " Resolution of externally identified issues." Identify which Stone and Webster procedures will address the resolution of externally identified issues.
11. On pages 4 & 5. Piping Analysis and Pipe support Design paragraphs, the review to be performed on piping does not appear to be consistent with that fo,r pipe support. Compliance with licensing commitments should be gxplicit and consistent with both paragraphs. Provide clarification for

" functionality" and " capacity requirements" for pipe supports to resolve this inconsistency.

12. On page 8, Attachment 2, Sectiot. A, 4th paragraph, it states that the SWEC effort will be overviewed by TUGC0 Project assisted by R. L. Cloud Associates Gibbs & Hill, and CPRT. Provide clarification of this overview function and the reasoning for such a multi-group overview.
13. Page 8. Attachment 2, Section B,1st paragraph, states that $WEC will qualify all ASME Class 2 and 3 piping systems and supports. Provide

/

further clarification of the qualification to be performed for the various piping systems and supports including the responsibilities to be assumed by SWEC as a design agent. 1 1

3-70

14. Page 8. Attachment 2, Section 8, second hyphen, states "100% of the large bore supports including supports for Class I systems." Clarify whether these Class 1 system supports include those supports designed by Westinghouse.

If $WEC is comitting to requalifying only those Class 1 large bore supports designed by other than Westinghouse, then the CPRT should ensureI that the interface between Westinghouse and SWEC is functioning properly.

This is required to account for any effects that pipe support deficiencies have on the existing Class 1 piping analyses (i.e., reduced pipe support ,

stiffness). I

15. Clarify if SWEC or CPRT will be reviewing those ASME Class 1 auxiliary branch lines connected to the reactor coolant loop. Provide.iustification if the Class 1 (non-RCL) piping are excluded from SWEC or CPRT review.
16. On page 8. Attachment 2, Section 8 the Program Plan states that Stone &

Webster Engineering Corporation has been retained to implement the piping and pipe support reentlysis effort. Attachment 2 of Item IX in Appendix C provides infomation concerning SWEC responsibilities and their Action P,la n.

frovidemoredetailstoclarifySWEC'sapproachtotheresolution of the ASL8 hearing issues, the CVGNA LAP concerns, and NRC staff concerns (i.e.,SWECproceduresCPPP-5throughCPPP-7).

Provide clarification to address the rationale for this statement.

COMMENTS / CONCERNS

1. Section 2.0 makes reference to Figure XI-3, as an illustration of the scope of the initial systems selection; however, the figure depicts only Train A of the auxiliary feedwater system. Elements of AFW Train B and the turbine AFW loop would also appear to be necessary in order to provide a complete review of the instrumentation and control discipline. Justify these omissions.
2. 5ection'1.1.1.2 states that site initiated and procured components, which have not been environmentally qualified for their service condition, are to be subjected to a sampling program if the number of such items exceeds five. This figure is inconsistent with the sampling program presented in &

Appendix D. Resolve this inconsistency.

3. Section 3.1.1.6 states that the scope of the Program may be expanded to other disciplines if a sufficient number of components are found to be e,

functionally inadequate. Rather than expand the program scope to include ,

other disciplines, it appears more logical to first expand the number of systems being reviewed.
