ML070550032		 Plant Design for Protection Against Postulated Piping Failures in Fluid Systems Outside Containment A) Use SRP Section "as-is" (minor comments)

Replace this first sentence of "AREAS OF REVIEW" with the following: The plant design for protection against piping failures outside containment is reviewed to ensure that environmental effects of such failures would not cause the loss of needed functions of safety-related or risk-significant systems and to ensure that the plant could be safely shut down in the event of such failures. An SSC may be classified as:

  1. Safety-related risk-significant
  2. Safety-related non-risk-significant
  3. Non safety-related risk-significant
  4. Nonsafety-related non-risk-significant

The mPowerTM application will include the classification of SSCs, a list of risk-significant SSCs, and a list of RTNSS equipment. Based on this information, the staff will review according to DSRS Section 3.2, SRP Sections 17.4 and 19.3 to confirm the determination of the safety-related and risk-significant SSCs. If the SSC belongs in the first two classifications above or if it is determined as part of the SRP 19.3 "Augmented Design Standard" review that the SSC is RTNSS "B", the review described in this DSRS Section is applied. For the purpose of brevity in this section, the first two categories above and the RTNSS "B" SSCs will be designated as "SSCs subject to protection against piping failures outside containment."

SRP Section is in the process of an update.

Additional considerations:

  • ASME Code AG-1-1997 references should be replaced with ASME Code AG-1-2009.
  • GDC 4 of Acceptance Criteria should require SSCs be designed to accommodate the effects of and to be compatible with the environmental conditions associated with normal operation, maintenance, testing, and postulated accidents, including loss-of-cooling accidents.
  • RG 1.20 provides guidance and not requirements.
  • DG-1163 has been replaced with RG 1.20.

ML070430397		 ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 Components, Component Supports, and Core Support Structures A) Use SRP Section "as-is" (minor comments)

SRP Section is in the process of an update.

Additional consideration:

  • The applicants SAR should include the description of snubber operability assurance program requirements that the snubber manufacturer submits to the purchaser for review and acceptance per ASME OM, ISTD Code.

Clarification of terminology SRP 3.10, page 3.10-4, number 3. replace with: "GDC 4 as it relates to qualifying equipment as capable of withstanding the environmental conditions associated with normal operation, maintenance, testing, and postulated accidents, including loss-of-coolant accidents (LOCAs), as well as dynamic effects (e.g., missiles, pipe whip, and jet impingement forces) that may result from equipment failures and from events and conditions outside the plant."
