RE: phone call with NPPD to discussion comments on Cooper NFPA 805 safety evaluation (ME8551)
The purpose of this email is to capture background information for a phone call that was held on 4/10/14 between NRC representatives and Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) representatives to discuss comments the NRC staff received on a draft of the Cooper safety evaluation associated with NPPDs license amendment request to transition to National Fire Protection Association 805 requirements. The agenda for the phone call can be found below.
The draft safety evaluation was provided to NPPD in an email dated March 27, 2014, and was provided to NPPD in accordance with NRCs Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Office Instruction COM-203, Revision 2, which states in part:
As another example, a Draft Safety Evaluation (SE) might be provided to a licensee or applicant to obtain agreement that it contains no proprietary information, in accordance with Office Instruction LIC-204. Similarly, draft SEs or selected portions thereof may be provided to a licensee or applicant to obtain agreement that factual information is accurate and complete. If these exchanges result in the discovery of new information needed for decision making, then this additional information must be appropriately submitted and preserved.
The staff binned the comments received by NPPD into three different files found below (i.e., administrative, editorial, and technical. The staff indicated that in some cases it would make changes to the safety evaluation based on NPPDs comments. The changes will be reflected in the final version of the documents.

1 Draft SE Technical Comments The following comments on the draft NFPA 805 Safety Evaluations relate to material accuracy and completeness issues, and certain other areas of higher importance.
Comment Number Location Comment Suggested Disposition NRC Response 1
SE Pages 13 and 34 On these pages the NRC cites the use of NFPA 101, Life Safety Code. NPPD is not committed to that standard, except to the degree it is reflected in NFPA 805 requirements, as evaluated in the B-1 table. NPPD is concerned that the wording in the SE could be construed in the future to constitute a commitment in total to that standard. It is additionally noted that the NRC has not endorsed this standard, as part of NFPA 805, as it does not have a nexus to nuclear safety.
Add note or clarification i n Section 3.1.1.5, bullet 3.3.3 that provides a disclaimer that NFPA 101 is not an endorsed standard for NFPA 805.

The basis for the May 31, 2017, date was to allow six months after the projected end of Refueling Outage RE29, but that does not subsume that committed implementation date.

14 SE Page 28/Section 2.7.1 The wording in the License Condition could legally be construed that once the S-2 and S-3 are complete, no further changes to these configurations or processes could be made without violating the license condition. NPPD proposed to add words to the license condition to make it clear that once compliance was achieved, future changes could be made utilizing the protocols of the license condition, but was told by the NRC via e-mail that was unnecessary.
Add a statement at the end of Section 2.7.1 stating:
"Once compliance has been achieved with the Table S-2 Modifications and Table S-3 Implementation Items, future changes to those affected configurations, processes, and procedures may be made using the self-approval process of the Fire Protection license condition."
No change. Upon completion of part c of the license condition, changes are made in accordance with parts a and b of the license condition.

17 SE Page 68/2nd full paragraph First sentence indicates that the post-transition period commences with the issuance of the Safety Evaluation. This is not NPPDs understanding. For purposes of the response to FPE RAI 10, the post-transition period was intended to mean after the 12-month implementation period after receiving the SE.
Revise to read "... compensatory measures necessary in the period between transition(12 months after issuance of this SE) and completion of the modification."
No change. The licensees understanding is not correct. The post transition period begins upon issuance of the license amendment.
18 SE Page 69/1st paragraph First sentence implies that a continuous fire watch will be in place until the modifications are in place. The fire watch will be put in place after the 12-month implementation period. See Comment 17.
Revise the sentence to read "The licensee further stated that compensatory measures during times when the incipient detection is out of service, including prior to completion of the modification, plant procedures will provide a continuous fire watch with hand-held incipient detection in the Auxiliary Relay Room after the 12-month implementation period."
No change. See response to Comment 17. The post transition period begins upon issuance of the license amendment.

requires further clarification to detail its application as detailed in PRA RAI 12. Also, it is recommended that the specific threshold be excluded from the SE as these are guidelines developed by Cooper Nuclear Station and not mandated by NFPA 805 requirements.
Delete the three bullets following the excerpt. Replace the excerpt with "In PRA RAI 12, it is recognized that during some DID evaluations, it may become necessary to consider the potential for risk significant fire scenarios to impact VFDRs. In these cases, the licensee provide quantitative results from the FPRA for the purpose of evaluating the DID for VFDRs.
Revised. The three bullets with quantitative guidelines were not deleted as they form an integral part of the SE and are consistent with past SEs.
20 SE Page 74/Section 3.4.1.2 last paragraph The excerpt "Also, CNS has removed unacceptable methods or committed to updating the FPRA." does not provide the required specificity to define what is meant by "updating" the FPRA.
A reference to the documents (i.e., as described in PRA RAI 40) that specify actions required for updating the FPRA should be provided in this paragraph.
Revised. The identified sentence was deleted.
21 SE Page 75/Section 3.4.2 last paragraph The excerpt "Therefore, the NRC staff concludes that the PRA should be capable of supporting post-transition FREs to support,..." use of the term FRE is incorrect.
