LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION (LRA) - RESPONSE TO NRC REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (RAI) 4.7.3 RADIATION DOSE FOR VALVE SEALS (TAC NOS. MC1704, MC1705, AND MC1706)
By letter dated December 31, 2003, TVA submitted, for NRC review, an application pursuant to 10 CFR 54, to renew the operating licenses for the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3. As part of its review of TVAs LRA, the NRC staff, through an informal request on May 27, 2005, identified additional information needed for RAI 4.7.3-1, radiation dose for valve seals.
The enclosure to this letter contains the specific NRC request for additional information and the corresponding TVA response.

E-1 TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT (BFN)
UNITS 1, 2, AND 3 LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION (LRA)
RESPONSE TO NRC REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (RAI) 4.7.3-1, RADIATION DOSE FOR VALVE SEALS By letter dated December 31, 2003, TVA submitted, for NRC review, an application pursuant to 10 CFR 54, to renew the operating licenses for the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3. As part of its review of TVAs LRA, the NRC staff, through an informal request on May 27, 2005, identified additional information needed for RAI 4.7.3-1, radiation dose for valve seals. This enclosure contains the specific NRC request for additional information and the corresponding TVA response.
NRC RAI 4.7.3-1 In LRA Section 4.7.3, the applicant indicated that, for the isolation valves for HPCI and RCIC systems' injection lines into the FW system, the 40-year normal plus accident radiation dose had been calculated and compared to the valve seals' qualification radiation dose. It also indicated that the calculation was projected to include the 60-year normal plus accident radiation dose, and then compared to the 60-year qualification radiation dose for the valve seals.
The applicant did not, however, provide the dose numbers which were calculated and the qualification doses for the valve seals which are to be compared to, both for 40-year and 60-year life times. The staff requested the applicant to provide the above information as well as the methodologies used to arrive at the results.
TVA Response to RAI 4.7.3-1 TVA originally considered a design calculation that determines the dose to the seal rings on the High Pressure Coolant Injection System (HPCI) and Reactor Core Isolation Cooling System (RCIC) testable check valves to be a Time-Limited Aging Analysis (TLAA). After further review, it was determined that the calculation is used to validate the seal design, but is not relied on to make a safety determination. The ability of the valve to perform its safety function is verified by Type C leak testing performed per BFN Technical Instruction 0-TI-360, Containment Leak Rate Programs. Based on this further review, TVA has determined that the calculation should not be considered to
E-2 be a TLAA, and Section 4.7.3 (Dose To Seal Rings For The High Pressure Coolant Injection And Reactor Core Isolation Cooling Containment Isolation Check Valves) should be deleted from the License Renewal Application.
