Draft Request for Additional Information Regarding Expedited Review of HELB from EPU Application
- Steve, By letter to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) dated April 7, 2009, as supplemented by letters dated September 11 and October 9, 2009 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession Nos. ML091250564, ML092570205, and ML092860098), FPL Energy Point Beach, LLC, submitted a request to increase each units licensed core power level from 1540 megawatts thermal (MWt) to 1800 MWt reactor core power, and revise the technical specifications to support operation at this increased core thermal power level.
The Balance of Plant Branch has reviewed the information provided and determined that in order to complete its evaluation, additional information is required. We would like to discuss the questions, in draft form below, with you in a conference call.
This e-mail aims solely to prepare you and others for the proposed conference call. It does not convey a formal NRC staff position, and it does not formally request for additional information.

DRAFT
RAI 1
BACKGROUND:
Section 2.5.1.3.2 of the EPU Licensing Report states: The HELB was reconstituted to ensure documentation existed to demonstrate compliance with all related prior licensing commitments and to reconstitute missing documentation.
ISSUE:
The staff should review selected reconstituted documentation to evaluate the licensees process in ensuring compliance with prior licensing commitments.
REQUEST:
Provide a list of all reconstituted documentation.
RAI 2
BACKGOUND:
Section 2.5.1.3 of the EPU Licensing Report states:
For those high energy systems that did not have a dynamic seismic analysis, a break was postulated at the weld to every fitting, valve and welded attachment.
Rather than determine all of these locations, a break was postulated in every compartment the piping run traverses. In addition, a crack was postulated to occur anywhere along the run of pipe at the most adverse location.
ISSUE:
A review of the EPU Licensing Report indicates the following systems are those for which breaks and cracks are postulated to occur anywhere along the piping run:
Extraction Steam System Condensate Chemical and Volume Control System Charging and Letdown Lines Heater Pump Drain Discharge The staff requires information regarding the routing of these lines in order to perform our review.
REQUEST:
- a. Confirm the above systems are all the systems for which breaks and cracks are postulated to occur anywhere along the piping run.
- b. Identify the compartments through which each of these lines runs through.
