Watts Bar Nuclear Plant (WBN)Pre-Submittal Meeting for Proposed License Amendment Request Regarding Shutdown Board Cleaning September 6, 2018
- Opening Remarks*Scope of 6.9 kilovolt (kV) General Electric (GE) Metal Clad Switchgear Maintenance*System Overview
- WBN Electrical Design
- Safety Related Load Distribution
- Effects of De-energized 6.9 kV Shutdown Board (SDBD)
- Proposed Technical Specification (TS)Changes
- Regulatory Precedent
- Schedule for Submittal*Summary and Closing Remarks Agendal 2 Opening Remarks*Due to WBN Unit 1 and Unit 2 sharing the alternating current (AC) electrical power distribution system and sharing several other systems, performing maintenance on a AC electrical power distribution subsystem (6.9 kV SDBDand associated 480 V SDBDs) for a shutdown unit also affects the operating unit.*The current eight-hour completion time for a de-energized AC electrical power distribution subsystem does not support maintenance on a set of 6.9 kV/480 V SDBDs. *The proposed license amendment request (LAR) will extend the completion time from eight hours to the most limiting Completion Time of the 'associated required features' when maintenance is
performed on a set of 6.9 kV/480 V SDBDs with one unit in operation.

DLRO Torque checksNote: The preventive maintenance activities for the 6.9 kV switchgear has the longest duration. The associated 480 V SDBDs and 1E MCCs will also be de-energized during this period. Preventive maintenance inspections for these boards is normally performed during the same outage window to minimize impact to the operating unit and to increase outage schedule efficiency.
System Overview*The onsite Class 1E AC electrical distribution system supplies electrical power to two power trains shared between the two units.*Some safety-related systems (e.g., Essential Raw Cooling Water (ERCW), Component Cooling (CCS), Emergency Gas Treatment (EGTS), Auxiliary Building Gas Treatment (ABGTS), Control Room Emergency Ventilation (CREVS),
and Control Room HVAC (CRACS)) are shared between the
units.*Shared loads are distributed across both unit's AC electrical power distribution subsystems.
l 5 System Overview*The core cooling and containment cooling system loads (e.g., Safety Injection (SI) pumps, Auxiliary Feedwater(AFW) pumps, Residual Heat Removal (RHR) pumps, Centrifugal Charging pumps, Containment Spray (CS) pumps, and Air Return System (ARS) fans) are unitized to the respective
unit's 6.9 kV/480 V SDBDs.*The impacts of an inoperable offsite power source or diesel generator (DG) on an opposite unit's SDBD differ from the impacts of an inoperable offsite power source or DG on an associated unit's SDBD, due to the loads powered from the
respective board.

- Request NRC approval by October 2019 with a 90-day implementation period to support the WBN Unit 1 outage scheduled for Spring 2020 (U1R16).*December 2018 -Telecon or meeting to discuss any NRC questionsl 18 Summaryl 19The proposed TS completion times for in-operable 6.9 kV and associated 480 V SDBDs considers the impact of shared loads required for an operating unit while providing a window for maximizing maintenance for the opposite unit
when under outage conditions.
Closing Remarks*Proposed LAR is needed to support a two-unit operating site at WBN.*Due to the commonality of the AC electrical power systems, performing maintenance on 6.9 kV (and associated 480 V) SDBDs for a shutdown unit affects operability on the operating unit.*The LAR will extend the completion times for inoperable AC electrical power systems when maintenance is performed on a
shutdown unit when the opposite unit is in operation.*This LAR is needed to support the WBN Unit 1 outage scheduled for Spring 2020.l 20
