submitted a proposed license amendment to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station (VYNPS). The proposed amendment, Technical Specification Proposed Change No. 263, Extended Power Uprate would allow an increase in the maximum authorized power level for VYNPS from 1593 megawatts thermal (MWT) to 1912 MWT.

The NRC staff is reviewing your Extended Power Uprate (EPU) amendment request and has determined that additional information is required to complete the review. The specific information requested is addressed in the following request for additional information (RAI).

Plant Systems Branch (SPLB)

Balance of Plant Section (SPLB-A)

Reviewer: Devender Reddy 10.

EPU Transient Testing As discussed in the NRCs Review Standard for Extended Power Uprates, RS-001, Safety Evaluation template Section 2.12, Power Ascension and Testing Plan, the purpose of the EPU test program is to demonstrate that structures, systems, and components (SSCs) will perform satisfactorily in service at the proposed EPU power level. The test program also provides additional assurance that the plant will continue to operate in accordance with design criteria at EPU conditions. The NRCs acceptance criteria for the proposed EPU test program are based on 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XI, which requires establishment of a test program to demonstrate that SSCs will perform satisfactorily in service. Specific review criteria are contained in NUREG-0800, Standard Review Plan (SRP) Section 14.2.1, Generic Guidelines for Extended Power Uprate Testing, Draft Revision 0, dated December 2002.

SRP Section 14.2.1 directs the NRC staff to assess the adequacy of the licensees evaluation of the aggregate impact of EPU plant modifications, setpoint adjustments, and parameter changes that could adversely impact the dynamic response of the plant to anticipated operational occurrences. The staffs review is intended to ensure that the performance of plant equipment important to safety that could be affected by integrated plant operation or transient conditions is adequately demonstrated prior to extended operation at the requested EPU power level. Licensees may propose a test program that does not include all of the power-ascension testing that would normally be included in accordance with the guidance provided in SRP 14.2.1, provided each proposed test exception is adequately justified. If a licensee proposes to omit a specified transient test from the EPU testing program based on favorable operating experience, the applicability of the operating experience to the specific plant must be demonstrated. Further, the licensee shall address the potential for any new thermal-hydraulic phenomena or system interactions that may be introduced as a result of the EPU or planned modifications.

Also, if the basis for elimination of a transient test relies on the use of analytical methods, the licensee should address the conformance to limitations associated with the analytical methods. Plant design details (such as configuration, modifications, and relative changes in setpoints and parameters), equipment specifications, operating power level, test specifications and methods, operating and emergency operating procedures; and adverse operating experience from previous power uprates must be considered and addressed.

Entergys test program primarily includes steady state testing with some minor load changes, and no large-scale transient testing is proposed. Sufficient information has not been provided to demonstrate that in the absence of large-scale transient testing, the integrated plant response during transient conditions will be as expected. Entergy is therefore requested to either: a) provide additional information in accordance with the guidance provided in SRP Section 14.2.1 that explains in detail how the proposed EPU startup and power ascension test program, in conjunction with the original test results and applicable industry experience, assures the plant will respond as expected during postulated transient conditions following implementation of the proposed EPU given the revised operating conditions that will exist and plant changes that are being made; or b) describe transient testing that will be included in the power ascension test program in order to provide this assurance, and explain in detail how the proposed transient testing will demonstrate that SSCs will perform satisfactorily in service at the proposed EPU power level.

11.

Followup on Response to RAI SPLB-A-7, Item b (Spent Fuel Pool Cooling - Heat Removal Capability and Limiting Case for Core Offload)

The licensee was requested to address the limiting cases for normal batch offload and full core offload in accordance with the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR),

Section 10.5.5, which states: Considering one train (one heat exchanger and one pump), this heat removal capability encompasses the normal maximum heat load from completely filling the pool with 3,353 spent fuel assemblies from the last normal discharge...

In its response the licensee stated that,...., the configurations presented in the VYNPS UFSAR, Section 10.5, Page 10.5-9, present scenarios more conservative than SRP Section 9.1.3 in that the batch offload configuration assumes more than a single failure (failure of both the NFPCS [normal fuel pool cooling system ] trains and the failure of one SFPCS)...

The licensee has not adequately considered and addressed the plant licensing basis as reflected in the UFSAR. Because the NFPCS is not safety-related, it is not credited in the limiting case. This is consistent with the guidance provided in SRP 9.1.3.

Therefore, the licensee is requested to address the question as originally posed by the staff in RAI SPLB-A-7, Item b.

12.

Followup on Response to RAI SPLB-A-3 (Turbine Overspeed)

The increase in main steam flow rate and rotor inertia considerations increase the likelihood that the main turbine speed will overshoot and exceed design specifications during postulated events. Identify the worst-case scenario that could lead to main turbine overspeed and discuss in detail what measures will been taken to assure that this condition will not occur, including testing that will be completed to confirm that the combination of increased main steam flow and inertial effects will not cause the turbine design specifications to be exceeded.

13.

High Energy Line Breaks (HELBs)

Referring to Section 10.1.2 of NEDC-33090P, additional discussion is needed to explain why safety-related SSCs will not be affected due to postulated HELBs at the proposed EPU conditions. Specifically, the section titled Liquid Line Breaks should state a conclusion regarding the ability of safety-related SSCs to perform as intended at the proposed EPU conditions.

Probabilistic Safety Assessment Branch (SPSB)

Containment and Accident Dose Assessment Section (SPSB-C)

Reviewer: Richard Lobel 34.

What is the temperature criterion for piping attached to the torus? Is this criterion satisfied under power uprate conditions?

35.

(a)

The licensees December 29, 1999, letter to the NRC, concerning installation of larger emergency core cooling system suction strainers in accordance with NRC Bulletin 96-03, stated that the head loss correlation of NUREG/CR 6224 was used. Verify that this correlation was used within its range of applicability considering debris materials present in the VYNPS containment, bed thickness, suppression pool temperature, and approach velocity.

(b)

The head loss due to loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA)-generated debris appears to be low. Please provide the calculation of head loss, VYC-1924, Revision 0 (Reference 2 to calculation VYC-0808, Revision 8).

36.

What is the coping period for station blackout (SBO)? Is the NPSH analysis for SBO consistent with this?

37.

Staff calculations indicate that it is not necessary to credit the reduced values of required NPSH given in Curves E12.5.522-1B and E12.5.522-2B in Attachment 5 of calculation VYC-0808, Revision 8. Using the long-term required NPSH values given in Table SPSB-C-12-1 (from the July 2, 2004 response to staff RAIs), the containment accident pressure that must be credited is slightly higher than the values calculated in Tables 4.1, 4.4 and 4.5, but still sufficiently below the conservatively calculated pressure shown to be available. Please justify use of the reduced values of required NPSH and assess the use of the values given in Table SPSB-C-12-1 of your July 2, 2004, letter instead.

38.

Describe the worst-case single failure assumed for the NPSH calculations and the basis for this assumption.

39.

Explain why the emergency operating procedure (EOP) NPSH curves are still valid without change for the power uprate conditions. Are accident-generated debris included in the calculations? Is credit taken for the minimum available NPSH shown in curves on pages 18 and 19 of 19 of Attachment 5 to calculation VYC-0808, Revision 8? Were the EOP curves calculated with the same computer program used to calculate the temperatures and pressures used in VYC-0808, Revision 8?

40.

The response to SPSB-C-10, dated July 2, 2004, contains a calculation which shows that with two heat exchangers operating but all other conservative assumptions of the licensing basis calculation unchanged, the suppression pool temperature is reduced from 194 F to 169 F. Is the flow through each heat exchanger due to just one residual heat removal (RHR) pump and one service water pump? Under what conditions would the operator actually use both trains of RHR to cool the suppression pool as opposed to using one train to cool the suppression pool and one train to inject water into the reactor vessel? The RAI response states that the calculation was not performed to QA program requirements. The staff requests that this calculation be verified according to the VYNPS Appendix B program.

41.

The minimum required NPSH values recommended by the pump vendor were based on operating conditions supplied by the licensee (Page 6 of 19 of Attachment 5 and Page 8 of 58 of calculation VYC-0808, Revision 8). If these suppression pool temperature values were based on pre-power uprate temperatures, why are the recommended times at minimum required NPSH still valid?

42.

Calculation VYC-0808, Revision 8, Attachment 5, Page 7 of 19, states that the RHR pumps were run for only a few minutes at reduced NPSH. Please explain why this is sufficient time to observe pump behavior at reduced NPSHA, as stated in the Attachment.

43.

Regarding calculation VYC-0808 Revision 8, Attachment 5 Page 8 of 19, and Page 6 of 58, Section 2.1, what is the minimum operational NPSH?

44.

Regarding calculation VYC-0808 Revision 8, Page 8 of 58, what is the basis for the limit of 8000 hours0.0926 days <br />2.222 hours <br />0.0132 weeks <br />0.00304 months <br /> on impeller life? What is the licensing basis time the pumps must operate after a postulated design-basis LOCA? To what measured percentage reduction in pump discharge head does the value of minimum available NPSH after 100 hours0.00116 days <br />0.0278 hours <br />1.653439e-4 weeks <br />3.805e-5 months <br /> correspond?

45.

The response to RAI SPSB-C-1 provided in Attachment 2 to Supplement 8 indicates that pumps taking suction from the suppression pool have adequate NPSH without requiring credit for containment accident pressure when best-estimate assumptions are used. The response to RAI SPSB-8 provided in Attachment 2 to Supplement 5, Table RAI#8-1, indicates that, as modeled in the PRA, the operators have more than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> to initiate suppression pool cooling (event KOPACTFL). Please submit the thermal-hydraulic analyses (both the containment response analysis and the NPSH calculation) that support these statements. Also, please discuss how much time the operator would realistically take to: (a) diagnose the need for suppression pool cooling and; (b) implement suppression pool cooling once the diagnosis is complete. What is the basis for these times (e.g., operator talk-through, simulator exercises)?

46.

Regarding the response to SPSB-C-29 in Attachment 2 to Supplement 10, please explain why the total heat sink area given in Table SPSB-C-29-1 is less for the SHEX calculation than for the MAAP calculation. Shouldnt SHEX assume more heat transfer to the heat sinks?

Reactor System Branch (SRXB)

Boiling Water Reactors and Nuclear Performance Section (SRXB-A)

Reviewer: Zena Abdullahi Note:

The RAI dated May 28, 2004, included 3 questions from SRXB-A designated as questions 1, 2, and 3. The RAI dated September 1, 2004, included 2 questions from SRXB-A designated as questions 1 and 2. The September 1, 2004, questions should have been designated as questions 4 and 5. Therefore, this RAI is designated as SRXB-A question 6.

6.

Table 1-1 in Attachment 6 of the application dated September 10, 2004, lists all the nuclear steam system codes used for the EPU request. Section 1.2.2 of Attachment 6, Computer Codes, indicates that the VYNPS application of these codes complies with the limitations, restrictions, and conditions specified in the applicable NRC safety evaluation report (SER) that approved each code, with exceptions as noted in Table 1-1.

Similarly, review the fuel vendors analytical methods and code systems used to perform the safety analyses supporting the VYNPS EPU application and provide the following information:

(a)

Confirm that the steady state and transient neutronic and thermal-hydraulic analytical methods and code systems used to perform the safety analyses supporting the EPU conditions are being applied within the NRC-approved applicability ranges.

(b)

Confirm that for the EPU conditions, the calculational and measurement uncertainties applied to the thermal limits analyses are valid for the predicted neutronic and thermal-hydraulic core and fuel conditions.

(c)

Confirm that the assessment database and the assessed uncertainty of models used in all licensing codes that interface with and/or are used to simulate the response of VYNPS during steady state, transient or accident conditions remain valid and applicable for the EPU conditions.
