1 Work Exercises and Case Studies to Write Safety Evaluation Report 2013

2 Contents Considerations for Writing SER Guideline for Case Study Examples of SAR and Regulatory Review Guide Review Exercise Attachment Introduction to AFWS

3 Considerations for Writing SER Clear statement why the staff did or did not decide the application (or part of the application) acceptable Do use simple, clear, and concise language Do use the active form rather than passive form Do write the SER that a person with a basic knowledge of engineering and science to understand(i.e., freshman in college) Do maximize the use of good precedents to achieve efficiency and consistency Do rely on relevant regulatory guidance and standards to achieve efficiency and consistency

4 Considerations for Writing SER Do not repeat content of the application in the SER Do not treat regulatory guidance as a regulatory requirement Do not provide suggestions for improving the application Do not expand the scope of the SER beyond the scope of the application Do not solely rely on a commitment in making a determination that requirements are met

5 Guideline for Case Study The subject of safety evaluation Auxiliary Feedwater System (Refer Attachment 1) Design & Functions Operation and Surveillance Understanding of Related Documents AFW Safety Analysis Report of an example plant design Relevant SAR Chapter of AFWS (Typically, Chap. 10.4, and 7.3) Technical Specification for Operation Piping & Instrument Diagram for AFWS Regulatory Review Guide for AFWS (If Any)

6 Example of AFWS SAR(1)

7 Example of AFWS SAR(2)

8 Example of AFWS P&ID -8-

9 Example of Technical Specification

10 Example of Review Guides for AFWS

11 Example of Review Guides for AFWS

12 Review Exercise Review Areas for Exercise (Narrowed Scope) Acceptance Criteria (NRC SRP ) 5. System capacity for removing residual heat(btp 10-1) 6. Permission of in-service inspection 7. Permission of periodic operational functional testing 8. Automatic initiation of the system 9. Availability of systems not reliant upon AC power

13 Overall Process of Regulatory Review Review of SAR based on the SRP Use of relevant sections of SRP Area of Review, Acceptance Criteria Request Additional Information(if Any) Regulatory questions on the licensee s information Information for confirmation and assurance, etc. Evaluation findings and Conclusions Technical rationale and Bases Drafting Safety Evaluation Report

14 Summarized Table of SER 1. SRP acceptance criteria : 5. System Capacity for removing.. Requirements Describe related requirements(law, Acceptance Criteria..) System Design Concise description of the design in cooperated in SAR, P&ID etc. RAIs Describe the needed information for confirmation etc. Conclusions Conclusions and/or findings, conditions as a results of reviewing the corresponding SAR
