Question 06.02.02-69:

Follow-Up to RAI 310, Question 06.03-14 and RAI 363, Question 06.02.02-43:

US EPR FSAR Tier 2, Section 6.3.3.3 “NPSH Evaluation” states the SIS pump NPSH evaluation for LBLOCA events is performed using the maximum pump flow head-capacity curves. The response to RAI 310, Question 06.03-14, indicates the design basis maximum flow through one sump is 3447 gpm (MHSI and LHSI combined flow). In the response to RAI 363, Question 06.02.02-43, the flow through the sump used for strainer qualification is 3284 gpm. It appears that strainer qualification flow does not bound the design basis maximum flow. Therefore, provide a detailed discussion of AREVA's approach to selecting the plant ECCS flow rate used for strainer qualification and justify the described approach.

Response to Question 06.02.02-69:

The U.S. EPR safety injection system (SIS) design basis maximum flow rate of 3447 gpm (combined medium head safety injection (MHSI) and low head safety injection (LHSI) flow through one sump) is based on the following conservative assumptions:

• Increased pump performance.

• Reduced pipe friction (i.e., decreased pressure drops).

• No debris loss across strainers.

The strainer qualification test procedure was revised to reflect the higher flow rate of 3447 gpm.

FSAR Impact:

The U.S. EPR FSAR will not be changed as a result of this question.

Question 06.02.02-71:

Follow-up to RAI 363, Question 06.02.02-43 item 11:

Analysis of the most challenging postulated accident with regard to sump performance during long-term core cooling involves selection of the most limiting pipe break size, location, and debris combination within containment. RG 1.82 position C.1.3.2.3 states that a sufficient number of breaks in each high pressure system that relies on recirculation should be considered. The NEI 04-07 GR states that the objective of the break selection process is to identify the break size and location which results in debris generation that produces the maximum head loss across the sump screen.

For the US EPR, ANP-10293 indicates there are two main paths for debris to enter the IRWST and potentially transport to the sump strainer. The two main paths for debris to enter the IRWST are from the heavy floor and the annular floor. The flow from these floors is filtered by debris interceptors called retaining baskets. Flow from the heavy floor to the IRWST is filtered by a large basket. Flow from the annular floor to the IRWST is filtered by a small basket.

The retaining basket performance is critical for analyzing and measuring strainer performance because the basket is designed to capture debris and keep it from reaching the strainer. However, the basket can overflow and as a result, debris can bypass the retaining basket and transport to the strainer. Therefore, in order to assess what causes the maximum head loss across the sump screen, a complete understanding of basket performance is necessary. Since the maximum head loss for US EPR is determined by testing, it is important to evaluate the performance of each debris flow path to the IRWST and their associated debris interceptors (retaining baskets).

AREVA's analysis and testing approach to date has focused on the large retaining basket. In RAI 363, Question 06.02.02-43 item 11, AREVA was asked how the small compartment retaining basket was bounded by testing for the large compartment retaining basket. In a June 17, 2010, phone call discussing this question and AREVAs response, AREVA indicated that the small compartment retaining basket no longer receives water from the annular floor due to a design change that redirected pressurizer room break flow from the annular floor to the heavy floor. It was also mentioned that the annular floor will only receive water from condensation and it will not fill up and spill into the small compartment basket located in the IRWST. Because this information is not be docketed and has not been fully explained , the staff requests AREVA to document the assessment of whether pipe breaks (consistent with RG 1.82 and NEI 04-07 guidance) can deliver water and/or debris to the annular floor. Provide a listing of potential systems that were considered and why they can or cannot deliver water to the annular region. If they can, then assess the impact on small basket performance and strainer head loss (debris generation, debris transport, and debris accumulation). As part of the discussion clearly define the purpose of the small retaining basket and document this discussion in ANP-10293.

In addition, the staff request that AREVA provide a complete assessment of the annular floor region and its water hold-up capacity in response to a design basis accident that requires recirculation. Include in the discussion the annular region water sources (pipe break, condensation), how high the water level can rise in the annular region, what limits the height of the water level in the annular region, identify any compartment(s) into which the water from the annular region spills, and describe any components (dampers, valves) that need to actuate/function/operate in order to allow the annular region to spill into another compartment

(e.g. IRWST). If condensation is the sole source of water collecting in the annular region, describe the method and approach used to assess the amount of condensate that could collect in the annular region.

Response to Question 06.02.02-71:

For a large break loss of coolant accident (LBLOCA), the annular space will receive water from condensation that spills into the small compartment of the double compartment retaining basket and into the single compartment retaining basket. The U.S. EPR design has two double compartment retaining baskets and two single compartment retaining baskets located in the IRWST. The small compartment is no longer used for fibrous material collection, except from latent debris.

Water entering the annular region will spill into the IRWST via seven openings. The openings are not controlled by any components and will begin spilling water into the IRWST when the level in the annular region rises above the four inch high weirs of the openings. The height of retained water in the annular region will be four inches plus a dynamic head height, which will vary depending on the flow of condensation into the annular region. Another factor which increases the dynamic head height is the width of the weir; a smaller width yields a larger dynamic head height. The total width of the openings is approximately 25 ft 7in; however, in the water retention analysis a conservative value of 20 ft is used.

In the long term, the primary water source in the annular region is condensation. However, during the blowdown phase of the LBLOCA there may be sufficient pressure difference between the equipment space and the service space to force water from the IRWST to the annular area. The exact amount of water displaced from the IRWST is dependent on a number of interrelated factors for each break scenario. Therefore, a bounding scenario that would allow the annular area to be filled up to the weir height by liquid from the IRWST in the first 18 seconds is applied.

The amount of condensation spilling into the annular region is determined by calculating a ratio of the surface areas for all compartments that spill condensate into the annular region and comparing the total internal surface area of the Reactor Building. This ratio is then applied to the total condensation rate of the Reactor Building. The total condensation rate is determined by using the total amount of energy absorbed by all of the heat structures in the GOTHIC multi-node model and the latent heat of vaporization at containment pressure saturated conditions. This method conservatively assumes that all energy absorbed by a heat structure relates to the condensing of steam and that the condensation rate is proportionally distributed in the Reactor Building based on the amount of surface area. A list of rooms that are assumed to spill condensate into the annular region is provided in Table 06.02.02-71-1.

FSAR Impact:

The U.S. EPR FSAR will not be changed as a result of this question.

Question 06.02.02-72:

Follow-up to RAI 111, Question 06.02.02-8, and RAI 233, Question 06.02.02-29 Regarding Upstream Effects and water hold-up:

Upstream effects and water holdup is an important aspect of Generic Safety Issue (GSI) 191 and NEI 04-07, especially where curbs or weirs or flooding berms are used to hold up debris and water. In RAI 111, Question 06.02.02-8 responses, AREVA provides a discussion of the US EPR upstream effects and provides water hold-up information in the Supplement 4 response to RAI 233, Question 06.02.02-29. This information is an important design detail to support resolution of GSI-191 upstream effects and water hold-up. However, minimal upstream effects and water hold information is provided in the FSAR. In addition, ANP 10293 Rev 1, “US EPR Design Features to Address GSI-191”, assesses the US EPR design with respect to NEI 04-07 and RG 1.82 but provides a limited discussion on upstream effects and water holdup. The staff requests that AREVA document their upstream effects and water hold-up evaluation in ANP-10293 or the FSAR and include a summary of design information such as a table listing hold-up volumes and their location (floors, steam, condensate, trapped in compartments etc.).

Response to Question 06.02.02-72:

The mass of water holdup in the Reactor Building is examined during various phases of the transient: blowdown, refill/reflood, post reflood, peak containment pressure, peak IRWST temperature, and half peak containment pressure. There are several different categories analyzed for water holdup: condensate on walls and ceilings, water retained in steam and droplet phase within the containment atmosphere, and water retained on floors.

The tables below are based on condensation being the only source of water in the annular area. During blowdown there may be sufficient pressure difference between the equipment space and the service space to force water from the IRWST into the annular area. The exact amount of IRWST water that could be displaced is dependent on a number of interrelated factors for each break scenario. Therefore in the water retention analysis a worst case evaluation was made assuming that the annular area would instantly fill to the height of the weir with IRWST liquid. The total retained mass values only changed during the first three analyzed times as the annular area is already filled to the weirs in the remaining times. The results showed that the water hold up was still within the margin of allowable IRWST inventory for NPSH. The most limiting case in terms of NPSH was still at one hour.

Table 06.02.02-72-1 lists the wall condensation film thickness during each phase. The mass of condensation on walls in each compartment is listed in Table 06.02.02-72-2.

Table 06.02.02-72-3 lists the volume of condensation drops on ceilings per square foot. The mass of condensation on the ceiling of each compartment during each phase is listed in Table 06.02.02-72-4.

Table 06.02.02-72-5 lists the mass of water retained during the steam and droplet phase in the containment atmosphere. Table 06.02.02-72-6 lists the depths of flooding level within the lower annular region during the different phases. Table 06.02.02-72-7 lists the depths of flooding level on the heavy floor at the different phases. Table 06.02.02-72-8 lists the flooding depths of the compartments which will

flood due to curbs/doors. Table 06.02.02-72-9 lists the mass of water retained on floors in the annular region, heavy floor, and behind doors/curbs in other compartments.

The mass of retained water re-injected into the reactor coolant system (RCS) is calculated using the maximum flow of safety injection pumps in the beginning of the transient. After the end of reflood, the mass of retained water re-injected into the RCS is calculated based on the RCS volumes. The values of the mass of retained water re-injected into the RCS for each phase are listed in Table 06.02.02-79-10.

In the water retention analysis, it is assumed that one of the double compartment retaining baskets becomes clogged and is completely filled with water. Based on the volume of the retention compartments above the IRWST level, the retained mass for the clogged basket is 68,064 lbm. This mass is conservatively applied during each phase.

Table 06.02.02-79-10 lists the total mass of retained water in the Reactor Building for each analysis during a transient.

A summary of the water holdup evaluation will be provided in Revision 3 of Technical Report ANP-10293, “U.S. EPR™ Design Features to Address GSI-191,” which is scheduled to be submitted by March 31, 2011.

FSAR Impact:

The U.S. EPR FSAR will not be changed as a result of this question.

Question 06.02.02-73:

ANP-10293 Rev. 1 Figures E.6-2, E.6-4 includes a note indicating basket head change due to flume water evaporation. Given that testing employed water level management controls (make-up and letdown); it is not clear why evaporation was a factor. Explain the reasons behind AREVAs conclusion that the head loss change was related to evaporation and not other causes. In the response, include any other test impacts or test observations associated with evaporation.

Response to Question 06.02.02-73:

The note indicating basket head change due to flume water evaporation was intended to explain the increase in measured retaining basket head loss between hours 33.9 and 37.4 during the Design Basis Debris Loaded Strainer Head Loss Test (Test 2) and hours 14.1 and 23.7 during the Thin Bed Test (Test 4). ANP-10293, Revision 1 shows the measured increases graphed in Figures E.6-2 and E.6-4 for Test 2 and Test 4, respectively.

The water management system consisted of two parts; water removal and water addition. As wetted debris was added to the flume, the volume of water within the flume increased. To maintain the prototypical strainer submergence, an overflow weir removed excess water from the flume.

The water addition system used a makeup water tank to add water to the test flume as required. As debris was inserted into the retaining basket, a debris bed formed on the retaining basket screen. This debris bed caused the water level in the retaining basket to increase above the water level downstream of the basket (surrounding the strainer). The water volume increase within the retaining basket reduced the water volume downstream of the retaining basket. As the volume of water downstream of the retaining basket decreased below prototypical levels, power was applied to the makeup water pump to add water to the flume downstream of the retaining basket.

Debris plugged the entire retaining basket screen during Test 2 and Test 4 creating an overflow condition within the retaining basket. The water addition system performed adequately during the debris addition portions of the test. After overflow, debris addition (and associated water volume) continued until all required debris constituents were applied to the flume and water addition was no longer necessary. The additional volume of debris laden water increased the water level to the prototypical strainer submergence level (at the overflow weir). The measured differential pressure (elevation head) across the retaining basket after the last debris addition to the test flume was approximately 7.3 feet during Test 2 and Test 4.

After all debris was added to the flume, the flume water was recirculated to observe changes in the measured strainer head loss created by debris addition until test termination criterion was met. During this period of approximately 3.5 hours, the 120°F water began to evaporate to the environment outside of the test flume. Because the water recirculates into the plugged retaining basket, the volume of water in the retaining basket remained unchanged. However, the volume of water downstream of the retaining basket began to slowly decrease. The measured head loss of the retaining basket 3.5 hours after all debris was inserted into the flume was approximately 7.4 feet for both Test 2 and Test 4. The increase in measured differential pressure across the retaining basket from approximately 7.3 feet to approximately 7.4 feet was not created by water increase within the retaining basket because the basket was already in an

overflow condition. The increase in measured differential pressure across the retaining basket was created by the change in measured elevation head as the water in the vicinity of the strainer decreased by approximately 0.1 feet within the 3.5 hour period. Test 4 was continued 9.6 hours (overnight) after all debris was added to the test flume and the water addition system disabled after the basket overflow condition was reached. The final measured retaining basket head loss was approximately 7.7 feet due to evaporation; this was visually confirmed by the water level decrease in the vicinity of the test strainer. The decrease in strainer submergence was conservative and evaporation was not a factor to the test conclusions, merely an observation of the data.

Question 06.02.02-74:

The U.S. EPR debris generation analysis uses a 2.4D zone-of-influence (ZOI) for assessing the amount of fiber insulation generated during the accident. This ZOI is for steel jacketed Nukon (fiber insulation) with Sure-Hold bands based on NEI 04-07 GR and NRC SE Table 3-2. The 2.4D ZOI was derived from testing for a specific insulation system. Therefore, in order to apply the 2.4D ZOI, the U.S. EPR fiber insulation system, fasteners, and associated components should be of a design that is equivalent or more robust than the tested Sure-Hold system (the BWROGs air jet impact testing is described in Volume 3 of the BWROGs Utility Resolution Guidance). Important design features of the testing include band spacing, pipe diameter, band fasteners, band width, jacket overlap (axial and circumferential), jacket material and thickness, etc. The staff requests that AREVA evaluate if their design specific application of the 2.4D ZOI is bounded by existing testing, with specific consideration given to differences in pipe diameters between the test and U.S. EPR design and minimum radius requirements for the fasteners. For those piping applications that are not bounded, the staff request that AREVA provide additional analysis or ITAAC to support the debris generation analysis (fiber insulation source term derived by application of a 2.4D ZOI). In addition, to assess the sensitivity of the U.S. EPR source term to the ZOI size, assuming that the 2.4D ZOI was increased to 17D (as listed in the NRC SE value corresponding to unjacketed Nukon or jacketed Nukon with standard bands), estimate how much additional fibrous insulation debris would be generated using break locations listed in ANP-10293 Rev. 1 Appendix C.

Response to Question 06.02.02-74:

The U.S. EPR debris generation calculation was revised to modify the debris source term. The revision changed the insulation of piping less than four inches in diameter from NUKON® jacketed with Sure-Hold® bands to Reflective Metal Insulation (RMI). The U.S. EPR design no longer incorporates NUKON® insulation on piping subject to loss of coolant accident (LOCA) jet blast effects. This change will be incorporated into Revision 3 of Technical Report ANP-10293, “U.S. EPR™ Design Features to Address GSI-191,” which is scheduled to be submitted by March 31, 2011.

Question 06.02.02-76:

Follow-up to RAI 111, Question 06.02.02-8:

In the Supplement 10 response to RAI 111, Question -6.02.02-8K6, AREVA indicated that fluid from a pressurizer surge line break reaches the pressurizer relief tank (PRT) room and is released through a door separating the PRT room and steam generator blowdown (SGBD) room. Flooding berms, associated with SGBD room doors and doorways, are mentioned as design features that prevent flooding of the annular space and serve to contain the fluids within the SGBD and PRT rooms. Also, wall openings are provided at four locations to route fluid out of the SGBD room and into the loop areas of the heavy floor.

Given that four openings are now provided to connect the SGBD room to the loop area heavy floor, describe the impact during a large break LOCA where fluid spills onto the loop area heavy floor. Will fluid from a break in the loop area flood the SGBD and PRT rooms? How is this volume considered in the water hold-up analysis? Describe the design of the four SGBD room wall openings and any devices installed at the opening that are required to actuate to permit/block fluid flow to/fm the loop area of the heavy floor through these openings. Also, describe how floor openings, wall openings, berms and doors permit fluid and debris, generated during a break near the pressurizer, to flow into and out of the PRT room and SGBD room (include assessment of break selection, debris generation, debris transport and upstream effects (water hold up or choke points) and provide details of debris types and quantities evaluated). In addition, provide a simple figure or discussion about where and how water is held up and how high a level is reached in the PRT and SGBD rooms in response to a pressurizer surge line break and a break in the loop area. Discuss height of curbs, openings, and flooding berms, and how doors are used to either release or contain water. A discussion of these important design features to address GSI-191 is expected to be included in technical report ANP-10293 or an appropriate FSAR Section.

Response to Question 06.02.02-76:

Wall openings are provided in the SGBD room walls at four locations, two in each wall to route the surge line break fluid out of the SGBD tank room and onto the heavy floor. During a large break loss of coolant accident (LBLOCA), water may flow from the heavy floor into the SGBD and PRT rooms. In the water retention analysis the SGBD and PRT rooms (UJA11018 and UJA11019) are considered to be flooded at the same depth as the heavy floor.

The four openings between the SGBD and PRT rooms and the loop areas are free openings (0.618ft² each). The minimum opening height from the floor for each 0.618 ft² opening is approximately 1.05 ft. There are no devices contained in the openings, therefore, bidirectional flow is allowable. A 20 inch (1.67 ft) high berm around the SGBD system tank will prevent flooding into the compartment below from occurring. The two doors leading into the annular regions from room UJA11018 will also contain a flooding berm of at least 20 inches (1.67 ft) high to preclude flooding into the annular area.

Debris generation is limited to reflective metallic insulation (RMI) and latent debris. There is no fibrous insulation used in the zones of influence in the containment of the U.S. EPR design. The maximum level of flooding on the heavy floor and the floors of the SGBD and PRT rooms in the water retention analysis is 0.7855 ft, which occurs during blowdown of a

LBLOCA. The flooding level for a pressurizer surge line break was not evaluated as the LBLOCA, which is more limiting for water retention. The maximum level of water retention (0.7855 ft) is lower than the level of berms (1.67 ft); thus, no water will flood out to the annular space or to the room below the SGBD tank room. Operation of the doors in the SGBD tank room is also not needed to release or contain the water level as the flooding level 0.7855 ft from the LBLOCA is below the 1.67 ft height of the berms at each door. Additional information on the wall openings will be provided in Revision 3 of Technical Report ANP-10293, “U.S. EPR™ Design Features to Address GSI-191,” which is scheduled to be submitted by March 31, 2011.

Question 06.02.02-78:

Provide the density of latent particulate material and justify its selection in comparison with guidance

Response to Question 06.02.02-78:

The U.S. EPR strainer testing used latent particulate debris prepared by Performance Contracting Incorporated (PCI). PCI formulated their surrogate based on guidance provided by NEI 04-07, Volume 2 and NUREG/CR-6877. Section 3.5.2.3 in Volume 1 of NEI 04-07 recommends the use of 10 µm diameter grains as the debris characteristic for latent particulate debris. Volume 2 of NEI 04-07 considers the 10 µm diameter assumption as conservative and provides additional guidance in Appendix V to determine appropriate parameters for a mix of multiple fiber and particulate components. Section V.2.2 in Volume 2 of NEI 04-07 states that “plant debris characteristics pertinent to the specification of a recipe to create a suitable latent particulate surrogate include specific gravity and particulate-size distribution.” Section V.2.2 also states that debris characteristics were determined by the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) report LA-UR-04-3970 2004a, which was published in July 2005 as NUREG/CR-6877.

NUREG/CR-6877 analyzed latent samples of five volunteer pressurized water reactor (PWR) plants and included the properties of material composition and hydraulic flow properties. These characteristic properties were analyzed by LANL and provided a surrogate latent particulate debris recipe for use in head-loss testing performed at the University of New Mexico (UNM). NUREG/CR-6877 guidance for surrogate latent particulate mass distribution was: 27.7 percent of debris between 500 µm and 2 mm, 35.2 percent of debris between 75 µm and 500 µm, and 37.1 percent less than 75 µm. Though some of the volunteer plant debris included materials larger than 2 mm, NUREG/CR-6877 removed this constituent and renormalized the distribution amongst the smaller particulates because visual inspection showed that material larger than 2 mm had very limited transport potential. The surrogate latent particulate distribution is again captured in Table V-2 in Volume 2 of NEI 04-07. The PCI latent particulate debris distribution used for testing was: approximately 27.3 percent of debris between 500 µm and 2 mm, approximately 35.3 percent of debris between 75 µm and 500 µm, and approximately 37.4 percent less than 75 µm as specified in PCI’s proprietary technical document, “Sure Flow Suction Strainer - Testing Debris Preparation and Surrogates” (ADAMS Accession No. ML090900476).

Page 3-37 in Volume 1 of NEI 04-07 recommends 100 lbm/ft3 as the particle density for latent particulate debris. This density was derived by the densities of “Earth,” dry and packed and “Sand.” Page 51 in Volume 2 of NEI 04-07 provides guidance to “assume that latent particulates are primarily geophysical in origin being composed of soil, sand, and dust.” Volume 2 of NEI 04-07 provides additional guidance to assume that latent particulate material has a nominal density of 2.7 g/cm3 (169 lbm/ft3). Page V-8 references the debris characteristic data provided by LANL as “well represented” with the specific gravity of 2.7 g/cm3 (an equivalent density of 169 lbm/ft3). Finally, bullet 8 on page V-11 in Volume 2 of NEI 04-07 summarizes particulate density by recommending 100 lb/ ft3 for the material density of latent particulate debris because this is conservative relative to the heavier densities (169 lbm/ft3) referenced in the LA-UR-04-3970 document. Actual plant analysis of particulate density was performed by LANL and documented in NUREG/CR-6877. The results of the LANL analyses showed that the particulate ranged in densities from 1.5 to 4.0 g/cm3 (93.6 to 249.7 lbm/ft3) with the median density of 2.7 g/cm3 (169 lbm/ft3). It is noted that the LANL data showed that the average

densities varied depending on debris size with the smaller debris being the densest and the largest debris being the least dense. NUREG/CR-6877 also determined that bulk densities of the latent particulate debris varied depending on the size distribution from 39 to 104 lbm/ft3specifying that the particulate recipe provided an approximate density between 63 to 75 lbm/ft3.

PCI provided the U.S. EPR test with a dirt and dust mix based on a size distribution that is similar to that provided by the guidance within NUREG/CR-6877. The density of the dirt and dust is related to the packing factor. Dirt and dust densities will vary; therefore, the size distribution and mass of tested surrogate dirt and dust are more justifiable for use during strainer qualification testing.

Question 06.02.02-79:

The retaining basket and strainer head loss testing for US EPR was designed to assess debris accumulation on the basket and strainer screens. During the July 2010 strainer test, after all the non-chemical particulate and fiber was added, the staff noted a potentially significant floating layer of fibrous debris, covering a large portion of the test tanks water surface. The staff was surprised by the amount of floating fibrous debris in the test. Based on observation, it appears that air bubbles generated by the impingement of the recirculation system jet and entrained in the water flow were interacting directly with debris to create floating masses.

The staff also noted that the test protocol and scaling were intended to conservatively or prototypically represent the fluid dynamic conditions at the screen and basket faces. The phenomena that are pertinent to debris floating do not appear to have been scaled conservatively or prototypically. For example, the test temperature was lower than in the plant, the debris concentrations were higher than in the plant, and the distances between the screens and the impingement of the recirculation jet were generally much shorter.

Therefore, the staff requests AREVA to evaluate the impact on strainer head loss if the floating fibrous debris had transported/accumulated on the strainer and address the following questions:

What are the principal phenomena that would contribute to debris floating? Were these phenomena modeled conservatively or prototypically in the test? Explain why it is acceptable for the test to permit floating as a debris removal mechanism given how the principal phenomena were scaled.

Response to Question 06.02.02-79:

The U.S. EPR test apparatus used several conservatisms to challenge the strainer design with regards to head loss. Throughout testing it has been observed that air bubbles generated by the impingement of the recirculation system jet entrain air into the flow of water. As the flow moves towards the strainer, tiny bubbles work their way to the surface, sometimes collecting fiber along the way. This is visually confirmed by the fact that fiber preparation removes air, yet there is air entrained within the fiber downstream of the retaining basket.

Air bubbles generated by the impingement of break flow from the heavy floor to the in-containment refueling water storage tank (IRWST) are prototypical; however, the flow towards the strainer was scaled slightly greater than plant conditions to enhance debris transport and prevent settling. To remedy any non-prototypical floating debris, floating debris will be documented with photographs, carefully removed with a filtering skimmer from the surface, and re-introduced into the test apparatus at an area downstream of the retaining basket. This process will be followed during future head-loss testing, and will be performed with extreme care to prevent any disturbances to strainer debris beds.

FSAR Impact:

The U.S. EPR FSAR will not be changed as a result of this question.
