FW: NRC Information Requests See below response to your question sent yesterday via email.

William D. (Bill) Crouch (423) 3652004 WBN (256) 7777676 Cell FSAR Table 7.5-2 variable 4 provides the design information specific to the Containment High Range Radiation Monitors as excerpted below. The type/category design requirements are provided in FSAR Section 7.5.1.4.3 excerpted below. Since the highest classification is A1, the design criteria for the C3 and E1 variables is not included. These are the same requirements that are included in WB-DC-30-7, Post Accident Monitoring Instrumentation which was submitted on TVA Letter to NRC dated June 18, 2010, WATTS BAR NUCLEAR PLANT (WBN) UNIT 2 - INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROLS STAFF INFORMATION REQUESTS.

There is no response time requirement for the Containment High Range Radiation Monitors.

FSAR Table 7.5-2 Deviation 36 is applicable to Variable 4 and is included in this response.

Additional information is included in the procurement specifications which are scheduled to be provided on the October 29, 2010 letter. These documents are too large to transmit via e-mail.

Variable Variable Name Type / Redundant Minimum Maximum Range Notes Number Category Channels Range Range Units From To

4. Containment A1 C3 E1 P1 P2 1 1.0E7 R/hr Deviation Radiation 2 Upper #36 2 Lower 7.5.1.4.3 Design Criteria For Category 1 Variables 1

(A) Redundant Class 1E qualified continuous indication of these variables has been provided. Qualification applies from the sensor to the display. The variables have been provided with a minimum of two independent channels (PAM 1 and PAM 2) for monitoring each variable. These two redundant channels allow the operator to deduce actual plant conditions.

Where failure of a channel would present ambiguous or confusing information to the operator, preventing the operator from taking action or misleading the operator, an additional redundant (PAM 3) channel has been provided. The PAM 3 channel has been qualified to the same requirements as the first two channels. Table 7.5-2 lists the redundancy requirements for each Category 1 variable.

DEVIATION 36 VARIABLE 4 Containment Area Radiation, High Range DEVIATION FROM RG 1.97 GUIDANCE Note 7 of RG 1.97, Revision 2 for the subject variable states, "detectors should respond to gamma photons within any energy range from 60 KeV to 3 MeV with an energy response accuracy of 20% at any specific photon energy from 0.1 MeV to 1 MeV. Overall system accuracy should be within a factor of 2 over the entire range. TVA meets the requirements of RG 1.97, Revision 3 Note 7 for the subject variable, which states, "Detectors should respond to gamma radiation photons within any range from 60 KeV to 3 MeV with a dose rate response accuracy within a factor of 2 over the entire range."

JUSTIFICATION It is acceptable to meet the requirements of RG 1.97, Revision 3.

RE: NRC Information Requests

Justin, 2

I do not find design criteria within this document. This document covers all radiation monitors. Have TVA look at the following document to see if it contains criteria for the containment high range area monitors (referenced in the document in your email).

8.3.5 TVA WB-DC-30-7, Post Accident Monitoring Instrumentation FSAR Section 7.5.1 contains the general design criteria for all Category 1 radiation monitors. I am looking for a design document that includes containment high range radiation monitor design requirements such as ranges, accuracy, maximum acceptable response time for the system etc.

Gush, Please see below. Please note that if you intend to use any of this information in your safety evaluation, then TVA needs to send this on the docket (this is not official) so let me know. Thanks.

Please forward to Justin Poole for Gursharan Singh.

1. Please send the Radiation Monitoring Design Criteria document.

Response: Design Criteria WB-DC-40-24 Rev. 21 is attached.

2. Why isnt the Loose Part Monitoring System included in FSAR Section 3.10 when it is designed to withstand an OBE?

Response: The FSAR Section 3.10 title is SEISMIC DESIGN OF CATEGORY I INSTRUMENTATION AND ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT. Since the Loose Part Monitoring System is not a Category 1 system, it is not included in the scope of 3.10. FSAR Section 7.6.7 provides the information the seismic design of the system which is consistent with the requirements of TVA Design Criteria, WB-DC-30-31, LOOSE PARTS MONITORING SYSTEM.

3. Question on Responses to RAI Matrix Items 54 and 55. What is Reference 3?

Response: Reference 3 is TVA Design Criteria WB-DC-40-54, ENVIRONMENTAL QUALIFICATION TO 10CFR50.49, which provides the definition of mild and harsh environments.

4. Question on RAI Matrix item 318. Is 1QR or QR correct for document number 04508905-QR?

Response: 04508905-QR is correct. The response will be revised before it is submitted.

Please let me know if you need either of the referenced design criteria documents submitted on the docket.
