Request for Additional Information

1. The summary of finding and observation (F&O) 2-13 for supporting requirement (SR) AS-A7 identifies that the documentation of assumptions and key sources of uncertainty for accident sequence modeling is incomplete, and two examples are provided by the peer reviewer. The disposition of this F&O was to specifically address these two examples, but there is no discussion of any review to identify other sources of uncertainty not documented. Since the peer review identifies the two specific items as examples, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) staff would not expect the licensee to close out this F&O until a more thorough review was conducted to assure all sources of uncertainty and assumptions are identified and discussed in the documentation.

Please discuss how this F&O was reviewed to determine the extent of condition for missing assumptions and key sources of uncertainty related to accident sequence modeling.

2. The summary of F&O 4-31 for SR QU-F4 states that the effect of sources of uncertainty on the Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) model is not clear. The resolution states that the documentation identifies the application of an industry guidance document to the evaluation of uncertainties. This does not seem to address the underlying issue that the documentation should characterize sources of uncertainty and assumptions underlying the PRA model.

Please clarify how this F&O was addressed to assure characterization of sources of uncertainty and assumptions on the effects on the PRA model is described in the documentation.
