  1. U.S. EPR EQ Program Update Nissen M. Burstein Technical Consultant Presented at NPEC 13-01 January 22-23, 2013, Orlando, FL

  2. Highlights of Recent U.S. EPR ActivityGeneral • The U.S. EPR design application is currently under NRC review. • Phase 1 review of the application (preliminary SER and all RAIs issued), • Phase 2 review (development of the SER with open items), • Phase 3 (ACRS Review of the SER with open items) have been completed, • Phase 4 (development of the Advanced SER with no open items) is currently in progress. • Schedule date for NRC approval of the design application is December 2014. U.S. EPR EQ Program Update - NPEC 13-01, Jan 22-23, 2013

  3. Regulatory Status RegardingASME QME-1 2007 • NRC issued revision 3 of RG 1.100 in September 2009 which endorses ASME QME-1-2007 with exceptions and clarifications (e.g., use of either earthquake experience data or test experience data for seismic qualification needs to be submitted for NRC review and approval). • AREVA NP uses ASME QME-1-2007 as guidance for qualifying active mechanical equipment with the exception that a separate mechanical equipment qualification (MEQ) program for the U.S. EPR™ design will not be maintained as noted in U.S. EPR™ FSAR Tier 2, Section 3.11.2.2 for nonmetallic subcomponents.

  4. Engineering Implementation ofASME QME-1 2007 • IEEE Standards 323-1974, 334-2006, 344-2004, and 382-2006 are used for qualification. • Environmental Qualification (EQ) • EQ of electrical appurtenances meets the requirements of IEEE 323-1974. • EQ of the valve actuator meets the requirements of IEEE 382-2006. • EQ of the pump motor meets the requirements of IEEE 334-2006. • EQ of the valve is limited to the nonmetallic parts of the valve. EQ follows the guidance of non-mandatory Appendix QR-B of QME-1 for nonmetallic parts of the valve. U.S. EPR EQ Program Update - NPEC 13-01, Jan 22-23, 2013
