Additional Question onCST Ken, here it is:

1. In the supplemental letter provided from Westinghouse, dated June 16, 2008, it is stated that "the assumed level restoration [of the steam generator water level] was reduced from no load programmed level to the narrow range lower level tap." As depicted in Figure 5.5-4 of the DCPP UFSAR, "Westinghouse Delta 54 Replacement Steam Generator," the narrow range lower level tap is positioned below the top of the steam generator U-tubes. This restoration level was used as the basis for the requested TS limit of 200,000 gallons in the CST.

It has been communicated that in the case of the limiting scenario (LOOP with natural circulation cooldown at reduced rate) the EOP would instruct operators to maintain steam generator water level between 20% and 60%, which is above the top of the U-tubes, during the entire cooldown. This is possible due to the fact that the CST upgrade was designed to provide approximately 222,600 gallons of seismically-qualified condensate as opposed to the minimum 200,000 gallons. However, after the requested change to the CST TS limit, it is possible for the licensee to legally operate with as little as 200,000 gallons available in the CST. While this volume is sufficient to meet the cooling requirements of the postulated event, it would not be enough to maintain steam generator water level between 20% and 60% for the entire duration of the event. This means that some portion of the steam generator U-tubes would become uncovered during the 8-hour cooldown.

The NRC staff requests confirmation that the radiological release due to the postulated LOOP with natural circulation cooldown at a reduced rate remains bounded by more severe accident analyses. This confirmation should assume maximum allowable primary activity levels for normal operation and maximum allowable primary to secondary leakage for normal operation, and assume a leakage point at or near the top of the U-tube bundle.
