LETTER NUMBER 2.13.012

Dear Sir or Madam:

On March 12, 2012, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC" or "Commission")

issued an order (Reference 1) to Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy).

A(ý5ýgo LA IL4-

PNPS Letter 2.13.012 Page 2 of 4 Reference 1 was immediately effective and directs Entergy to develop, implement, and maintain guidance and strategies to maintain or restore core cooling, containment, and spent fuel pool cooling capabilities in the event of a beyond-design-basis external event.

Specific requirements are outlined in Attachment 2 of Reference 1.

Reference 1 requires submission of an Overall Integrated Plan by February 28, 2013. The NRC Interim Staff Guidance (Reference 2) was issued August 29, 2012 which endorses industry guidance document NEI 12-06, Revision 0 (Reference 3) with clarifications and exceptions identified in Reference 2. Reference 3 provides direction regarding the content of this Overall Integrated Plan. The purpose of this letter is to provide that Overall Integrated Plan pursuant to Section IV, Condition C.1, of Reference 1.

Reference 3, Section 13, contains submittal guidance for the Overall Integrated Plan. The enclosure to this letter provides Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station's (PNPS) Overall Integrated Plan pursuant to Reference 3.

Reference 4 provided the PNPS initial status report regarding Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events, as required by Reference 1. PNPS has not yet identified any impediments to compliance with the Order, i.e. within two refueling cycles after submittal of the integrated plan, or December 31, 2016, whichever is earlier. Future status reports will be provided as required by Section IV, Condition C.2, of Reference 1 which will discuss any changes in compliance method, schedule, and any need for relief including basis.

Entergy and PNPS have performed in-depth reviews of the INPO 11-005 Special Report on the Nuclear Accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (w/Addendum) and other available studies of the events at the Fukushima Daiichi plants in Japan following the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunamis. As a result of this review, a "FLEX" Strategy has been developed that provides substantial new capabilities that are simple, robust, and independent, to the extent practicable, from permanent plant systems that may be affected by even the most unforeseen Beyond-Design-Basis-External-Events.

These capabilities are focused on the principal and highest priority goal of maintaining core cooling and submergence under all conditions using the most reliable methods available that can be implemented under potentially severe environmental conditions with only on-site assets, and subsequently maintaining that capability indefinitely with additional off-site resources. It is our belief that the proposed PNPS FLEX Strategy addresses the serious shortcomings in the original response to the Fukushima events, and that these actions, if ever required, would preclude the occurrence of any core damage and the resulting serious complications from similar events that include an Extended Loss of AC Power together with a Loss of Ultimate Heat Sink and significant damage to plant systems.

This letter contains no new regulatory commitments. Should you have any questions concerning the content of this letter, please contact Mr. Joseph R. Lynch at (508) 830-8403.

PNPS Letter 2.13.012 Page 3 of 4 I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct; executed on February 28, 2013.

ENCLOSURE To PNPS Letter 2.13.012 PILGRIM NUCLEAR POWER STATION OVERALL INTEGRATED PLAN FOR DIVERSE AND FLEXIBLE COPING STRATEGIES (FLEX)

FOR REQUIREMENTS FOR MITIGATION STRATEGIES FOR BEYOND-DESIGN-BASIS EXTERNAL EVENTS

February 2013 FLEX Integrated Plan General Integrated Plan Elements (BWR)

Determine Applicable Input the hazards applicable to the site; seismic, external Extreme External Hazard flood, high winds, snow, ice, cold, high temps.

Describe how NE! 12-06 sections 5 - 9 were applied and Ref: NEI 12-06 section 4.0 -9.0 the basis for why the plant screened out for certain hazards.

JLD-ISG-2012-01 section 1.0 The applicable external hazards for Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) are seismic, high wind, snow, ice, & extreme cold, and extreme high temperatures, as detailed below.

Seismic Hazard Assessment:

All sites will consider the seismic hazard according to NEI 12-06 (Reference 1) Section 5.2.

From the PNPS FSAR (Reference 2) Section 2.5.3.3.2, the Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE) maximum horizontal ground acceleration is 0.15 g.

The possibility for soil liquefaction that could impede movement following a seismic event was evaluated according to FSAR Section 2.5.3.2. It was concluded that it is highly unlikely that liquefaction of the foundation material would occur under the postulated earthquake conditions at PNPS.

Thus, the PNPS site screens in for an assessment for seismic hazard except for liquefaction.

External Flood Hazard Assessment:

The PNPS Site general elevation of 23 ft above mean sea level (msl) places it in the category of "dry sites" according to NEI 12-06, Section 6.2.1, based on the following design basis flood level from FSAR Section 2.4.4.2, "Tide Levels".

Extreme Storm Tide = + 13.5 ft msl Extreme Low Tide = -10.1 ft msl The datum relationship at the site is that msl is 4.8 ft above mean low water (mlw) level. It has been calculated that the 100 year storm could produce a still water level of + 15.8 ft mlw.

This is a combination of storm surge combined with astronomical high tide. The hydrometeorological section of the U.S. Weather Bureau has established a standard northeaster for New England. Using this storm, the peak storm surge, having a return frequency of 1,000 years, is 6.6 ft.

The concurrence of peak storm surge with an astronomical high tide of (+)11.7 ft mlw would give an extreme storm tide level of(+)18.3 ft mlw, such that +18.3 ft mlw = +13.5 ft msl, with a probability of occurrence of once every 4,000 yr. Additionally the climatological precipitation quantities in eastern Massachusetts show that the region does not have a wet or a dry season. Monthly averages vary from about 3 in to 4 1/2 inches at Plymouth. The maximum 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> rainfall is 6.88 inches from FSAR table 2.3-16. All Class I structures are designed for flood protection in the event of a maximum probable flood (Reference 2).

Therefore, because PNPS is built above the design basis flood level and is considered a "dry" Page 1 of 83

February 2013 FLEX Integrated Plan General Integrated Plan Elements (BWR) site by the NEI 12-06, Section 6.2.1 guidance, PNPS is not required to evaluate flood-induced challenges.

Severe Storms with High Wind Hazard Assessment:

The PNPS design basis does not meet the NEI 12-06 definition of "sites with the potential to experience severe winds from hurricanes based on winds exceeding 130 mph." The applicable wind hazards are bounded by the tornado event. The maximum 5 Minute sustained wind speed is 87 mph due to the Hurricane of 1938 from FSAR Table 2.3-18.

Severe tornado activity in eastern Massachusetts is not common. The proximity to the ocean and the terrain in the vicinity of the site are unfavorable to severe tornado activity. The Tornado Design Criteria for PNPS is included in Appendix H of the FSAR and is summarized as follows:

Per the FSAR, the velocity components are applied as a 300 mph horizontal wind applied over the full height of the structure. The pressure differential is applied as a 3 psi positive (bursting) pressure occurring in 3 seconds. The missiles are applied, as follows:

  • A 4 inch x 12 inch x 12 ft long wood plank (108 lb) traveling end-on at 300 mph over the full height of the structure.

" A 3 inch diameter Schedule 40 pipe 10 ft long traveling end-on at 100 mph over the full height of the structure.

  • A passenger auto (4,000 lb) traveling end-on at 50 mph with a contact area of 20 ft2 and at a height not greater than 25 ft above ground.

The FLEX strategy will consider high winds and comply with the requirements of NEI 12-06 and ASCE 7-10 for structures that store FLEX equipment. PNPS is within the zone defined per NEI-12-06 where the tornado wind is established as 165 mph.

Snow, Ice and Extreme Cold Hazard Assessment:

The guidelines provided in NEI 12-06 (Section 8.2.1) determine that an assessment of extreme cold conditions must be performed for sites above the 35th parallel. PNPS is located above the 35th parallel; therefore, the effects of snow, ice, and extreme cold will be considered for the storage and deployment of FLEX equipment. The design bases winter outdoor condition is 10'F dry bulb, which corresponds to the 97.5% exceedance values for the site location with an extreme minimum of (-)14°F as described in FSAR Table 10.9-1.

During the winter months of December, January, and February, there will be approximately 54 hours6.25e-4 days <br />0.015 hours <br />8.928571e-5 weeks <br />2.0547e-5 months <br /> at or below the 97.5% value based on the ASHRAE design standards. The PNPS site historical lowest recorded temperature is also noted to be (-)14'F from FSAR Table 2.3-

15. The PNPS historical low seawater temperature is 28°F from FSAR Figure 2.4-2. The maximum 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> snowfall is 16 inches from FSAR Table 2.3-17. As noted in FSAR 2.3.6 a few times each winter a weather situation favorable for ice glaze formation develops. The coastal location of the site reduces the likelihood of a glaze forming storm compared to nearby inland locations. During the period of record 1928 to 1936, the site area experienced between six and eight storms which deposited ice glaze 0.25 in thick or more.

February 2013 FLEX Integrated Plan General Integrated Plan Elements (BWR)

Extreme High Temperature Hazard Assessment:

All sites will address high temperatures in accordance with NEI 12-06 (Reference 1), Section 9.2. The design bases temperature for HVAC System design ambient temperature is 88°F from TDBD-110 (Reference 3), and this represents a standard 1% exceedance value with a short-term peak design temperature of 102'F as described in FSAR Table 10.9-2. The 1%

value would be expected to be exceeded for a total of 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br /> during the summer months (June to September) based on the ASHRAE design standards. The PNPS site historical highest recorded temperature is also noted to be 1027F from FSAR Table 2.3-15. The FLEX equipment will be procured to function in high temperatures and consideration will be given to the impacts of these high temperatures on equipment storage and deployment; however, extreme high temperatures are not expected to impact the utilization of off-site resources or the ability of personnel to implement the required FLEX strategies.

e Certain Technical Specifications cannot be complied with during FLEX implementation.

Key assumptions associated with implementation of FLEX Strategies for PNPS are described below:

Page 3 of 83

February 2013 FLEX Integrated Plan General Integrated Plan Elements (BWR)

Flood and seismic re-evaluations pursuant to the 10 CFR 50.54(f) letter of March 12, 2012 are not completed and therefore not assumed in this submittal. As the re-evaluations are completed, appropriate issues will be entered into the corrective action system and addressed.

The following conditions exist for the baseline case:

o Seismically designed DC battery banks are available.

o Seismically designed 120 VAC and 125 & 250 VDC distribution systems are available.

o Plant initial response is the same as Station Black-Out (SBO) event.

o Decay heat curve used for Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) Core Cooling and Containment Heat Removal thermal calculations is the ANSI/ANS 5.1-1979 decay heat nominal values calculated based on a maximized full power end-of-cycle power history, with additional allowances for miscellaneous Actinides and Activation Products, that is the Current Licensing Basis for Accident Analysis Containment Heat Removal when used with 2-Sigma Uncertainty Adders.

o Decay heat curve used for RPV and Spent Fuel Pool (SFP) Refueling Mode conditions is the NRC Branch Technical Position ASB 9-2 Rev 2 that is the Current Licensing Basis for SFP Thermal and Heatup Analyses.

o No additional failures of safety-related SSC assumed except those in the base assumptions, i.e., Extended Loss of AC Power and Loss of Ultimate Heat Sink. Therefore, the steam-driven RCIC, and HPCI if available, will operate either via automatic control or with manual operation capability per the guidance in NEI 12-06.

" Margin will be added to design FLEX components and hard connection points to bound future increases as re-evaluation warrants. All components will be procured commercially and tested or evaluated, as appropriate, for seismic, environmental, and radiological conditions.

  • The design hardened connections are protected against external events or are established at diverse locations.
  • Implementation strategies and roads are assessed for hazards impact.
  • All Phase 2 components are stored at the site and will be protected against the "screened in" hazards in accordance with NEI 12-06. At least N sets of equipment will be available after the event they were designed to mitigate.
  • Additional staff resources are expected to arrive beginning at 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and the site will be fully staffed 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> after the event. The FLEX Strategy can be implemented through Phase 2 and into Phase 3 with only on-site resources if necessary.
  • Maximum environmental room temperatures for habitability or equipment Page 4 of 83

February 2013 FLEX Integrated Plan General Integrated Plan Elements (BWR) availability is based on NUMARC 87-00 (Reference 1) guidance if other design basis information or industry guidance is not available. Extreme high temperatures are not expected to impact the utilization of off-site resources or the ability of personnel to implement the required FLEX strategies.

This plan defines strategies capable of mitigating a simultaneous loss of all alternating current (ac) power and loss of normal access to the ultimate heat sink resulting from a beyond-design-basis event by providing adequate capability to maintain or restore core cooling, containment, and SFP cooling capabilities at all units on a site. Though specific strategies are being developed, due to the inability to anticipate all possible scenarios, the strategies are also diverse and flexible to encompass a wide range of possible conditions. These pre-planned strategies developed to protect the public health and safety will be incorporated into the unit emergency procedures and guidelines in accordance with established change processes, and their impact to the design basis capabilities of the unit evaluated under 10 CFR 50.59. The plant Technical Specifications contain the limiting conditions for normal unit operations to ensure that design safety features are available to respond to a design basis accident and direct the required actions to be taken when the limiting conditions are not met. The result of the beyond-design-basis event may place the plant in a condition where it cannot comply with certain Technical Specifications and/or with its Security Plan, and, as such, may warrant invocation of 10 CFR 50.54(x) and/or 10 CFR 73.55(p). (Reference 2)

NEI 12-06 The assumptions listed in NEI 12-06, Section 3.2.1, are applicable to PNPS.

Open items where PNPS does not have clear guidance to complete an action related to this submittal are listed below:

1. Beyond-design-basis external event impact on requirements in existing licensing documents will be determined based on input from the industry groups and direction from the NRC.
2. Structure, content and details of the Regional Response Center playbook will be determined.

(table item 7) - When the Torus reaches 170'F a controlled reactor depressurization is commenced based on EOP-1 1 HCTL curve (Reference 2, 3). The reactor will be depressurized by manually opening the SRVs in conjunction with continued RCIC operation to reduce reactor pressure to approximately 120 psig over a three hour period, at which time the Torus will heat up to 235°F. Time is critical at this point to complete the RPV depressurization to as low a pressure as possible to preclude exceeding the HCTL Curve and to minimize continued operation of the RCIC or HPCI System at elevated Torus temperatures, expected to be at approximately 9 hours1.041667e-4 days <br />0.0025 hours <br />1.488095e-5 weeks <br />3.4245e-6 months <br /> per PNPS Calculation M1380 and ENERCON MAAP analysis (Reference 8, 9).

It is anticipated that the decision to deploy the FLEX DGs will be made during the initial response phase; however battery durations are calculated to last at least 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> without credit for load shed during the initial Phase 1 response (Reference 14, 15, 16). Two (2) of the required FLEX DGs will be maintained in on-site FLEX storage buildings (Reference 7). The third FLEX DG (N +1) will be pre-staged in the Turbine Building Truck Lock area, which is a protected area in close proximity to the Battery Charger and Switchgear Rooms. This will allow for more rapid deployment of the first FLEX DG Page 7 of 83

February 2013 FLEX Integrated Plan General Integrated Plan Elements (BWR) for ELAP events where that is possible. The two FLEX DGs from the storage sites will be transferred and staged via haul routes and staging areas evaluated for impact of external hazards (Reference 7, 17). Modifications will be implemented to facilitate the connections and operational actions required to repower any of the Station Battery Chargers (Normal & Backup) directly from the FLEX DGs. This will be accomplished utilizing AC Power Transfer Switches and Portable Cable Connections that are local to each Battery Charger and serve to completely disconnect from the normal 480 VAC bus source to allow the external 480 VAC feed from the FLEX DGs (Reference 7). Programs and training will be implemented to support operation of FLEX DGs. Six hours is a reasonable assumption for transferring and placing the FLEX portable DGs into service. The cabling required will be pre-staged in the vicinity of the Battery Charger and Switchgear Rooms.

5. 9 hour1.041667e-4 days <br />0.0025 hours <br />1.488095e-5 weeks <br />3.4245e-6 months <br />, Transition from RCIC to FLEX equipment for the low pressure Core Cooling Function by placing the diesel powered FLEX Low Pressure Pumps in service with injection from the UHS through a duplex strainer cart with flow monitoring and into the common CST suction line to the HPCI and RCIC Pumps and feeding through either pump to inject into the RPV (table item 9). At 9 hours1.041667e-4 days <br />0.0025 hours <br />1.488095e-5 weeks <br />3.4245e-6 months <br />, the Torus is calculated to be at 235°F (Reference 8, 9) and, when no other preferred sources of water are available, seawater is used for low pressure injection at subcooling flow rates to the RPV from the UHS. The required FLEX Pumps will be maintained at the on-site FLEX storage locations (Reference 7). FLEX Pumps will be transferred and staged via haul routes and staging areas evaluated for impact from external hazards (Reference 7). Modifications to the 18" HPCIIRCIC Suction Line in the Condensate Storage Tank (CST) Vault on the plant-side of the CST 18" Isolation Valves 26-HO-78 & 79 will be implemented to facilitate the connections and operational actions required to provide makeup to the RPV, as necessary (Reference 7). Programs and training will be implemented to support the deployment and operation of FLEX Pumps. With the resources assumed available on-site, three hours is a reasonable assumption to transfer and place the FLEX Portable Pumps into service by 9 hours1.041667e-4 days <br />0.0025 hours <br />1.488095e-5 weeks <br />3.4245e-6 months <br />.

The first of two tandem FLEX Diesel Pumps take suction from the UHS and feeds a pressurized suction to the second pump to achieve sufficient flow capacity and total head for RPV injection. The diesel pumps are operated under manual speed control to achieve the desired pressure and flow as read locally on the duplex strainer cart flow meter and totalizer. Once the FLEX Diesel Pumps are deployed using 5" hose connections with Y-connection valving at each component, the engine-driven pumps are initiated, purged, and vented and flow is established through an open-ended discharge return hose to ensure the pumps are operating and ready to inject to the RPV. As the RPV depressurization is completed and the RCIC steam supply is isolated, the FLEX Pumps, which are already running at idle speed with flow out the return hose, are realigned using the Y-connection valves and RPV injection is commenced, preferably by flowing through the idle HPCI Pump flow path, but alternately through the now idle RCIC Pump. Engine speed controls are used to ramp the pump up to the initial injection rate (approximately 400 GPM) sufficient to Page 8 of 83

RPV pressure will remain at or above 50 PSIG, which is the back pressure required to maintain the SRVs open, plus the Torus pressure at the time.

The reliable operation of HCVS can be met because the HCVS is fully qualified and powered by the 125 VDC system and will be provided with an independent pneumatic system supplied from nitrogen bottles to operate the HCVS valves. Critical instruments associated with containment and the HCVS are DC powered and can be read locally and in the MCR.

The HCVS system is addressed as part of order EA-12-050 (Reference 19).

(table item 14) - The Water Storage Frac Tank will be pre-filled and readied for the diesel powered FLEX Low Pressure Pumps to switch suction to the Water Storage Frac Tank for RPV injection. After transferring the FLEX Pump suction to the Water Storage Frac Tank, the RPV is flushed with water from the Water Storage Frac Tank at an initial Page 9 of 83

February 2013 FLEX Integrated Plan General Integrated Plan Elements (BWR) rate sufficient to continue sub-cooling and flushing the RPV with heated liquid discharge via the SRVs to the Torus while using a portion of the potential 21,000 Gallon capacity from the Water Storage Frac Tank to flush the RPV. When ready, the FLEX Pump injection rate is slowed down and the RPV is allowed to boil down to a stable water level with only makeup water added. The transition from Phase 2 to Phase 3 is determined at a time based on Torus inventory and is to be implemented before a net addition of 400,000 Gallons to the Torus, which is not expected to occur before 72 Hour after shutdown. This consideration maintains the Torus water level below the Drywell-to-Torus Vacuum Breaker operating level, to ensure communication and equalization of Drywell and Wetwell pressure is maintained.

Torus Water Level is also measured directly and available in the MCR. Once in Phase 3, the plant can be maintained in a stable condition with FLEX Pumps in service for injection to the RPV at a stable water level, and heat removal provided by the HCVS Torus Vent at a steadily reducing Torus temperature, pressure, and water inventory. There is no need to reject liquid water from the Torus at any time, as the venting capacity exceeds the makeup rate and Torus pressure will drop below 15 PSIG shortly after entering Phase 3. The plant is in a stable condition with outside resources available to maintain stable conditions indefinitely. (References 7, 8)

There are no time-critical actions required to restore additional plant systems to maintain core cooling.

Technical Basis Support Information

1. On behalf of the Boiling Water Reactor Owners Group (BWROG), GE-Hitachi (GEH) developed a document (NEDC-33771P, Revision I (Reference 10)) to supplement the guidance in NEI 12-06 by providing additional BWR-specific information regarding the individual plant response to the Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP) and loss of Ultimate Heat Sink (UHS) events. The document includes identification of the generic event scenario and expected plant response, the associated analytical bases and recommended actions for performance of a site-specific gap analysis. In the document, GEH utilized the NRC accepted SUPERHEX (SHEX) computer code methodology for the BWR's long term containment analysis for the ELAP analysis. As part of this document, a generic BWR 3/Mark I containment NSSS evaluation was performed. The BWR 3/Mark I containment analysis is applicable to the PNPS (a BWR 3 Mark I plant) coping strategy because it supplements the guidance in NEI 12-06 by providing BWR-specific information regarding plant response for core cooling and containment integrity. The guidance was utilized as appropriate to develop coping strategies and for prediction of the plant's response.
2. Containment integrity for Phases I through 3 was calculated by M1380 Rev 0, PNPS FLEX Strategy Thermal-Hydraulic analysis (Reference 8) and validated by the use of computer code MAAP 4.0.5. (Reference 9)
3. Environmental conditions within the station compartments were evaluated following methods and tools in NUMARC 87-00 (Reference 13) or GOTHIC 7.2b (EPRI Page 10 of 83

February 2013 FLEX Integrated Plan Maintain Core Cooling Determine Baseline coping capability with installed coping' modifications not including FLEX modifications, utilizing methods described in Table 3-1 of NEI 12-06:

  • RCIC/HPCI/IC
  • Depressurize RPV for injection with portable injection source
  • Sustained water source BWR Installed Equipment Phase 1:

Provide a general description of the coping strategies using installed equipment including modifications that are proposed to maintain core cooling. Identify methods (RCIC/HPCI/IC) and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.

Power Operation At the initiation of the BDBEE, the Reactor Scrams, Main Steam Isolation Valves (MSIVs) automatically close, Feedwater is lost, and Safety Relief Valves (SRVs) automatically cycle to control pressure, causing Reactor Water Level to drop (Reference 22). When reactor water level reaches the RPV Low-Low Water Level (-46.3 inches), Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) and High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI) (References 22) automatically start with suction from the Condensate Storage Tank (CST) and operate to inject makeup water to the Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV). Because the CST is not seismically qualified, it is considered unavailable for the BDBEE (Reference 1), and the RCIC suction will be manually switched to the Suppression Pool (Torus) (Reference 19, 22). The HPCI system suction will automatically switch to the Torus on a low CST level and HPCI will then be secured when the Low-Low Water Level Trip (-46.3 inches) clears (Reference 22). This is assumed to happen within the first two (2) minutes of the event.

The RCIC system will continue to operate after the reactor level returns to the normal band.

During the first 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> after shutdown, the reactor remains isolated and pressurized with RCIC providing the core cooling, drawing water from the Torus. The SRVs control reactor pressure (Reference 22). The operator is directed to take steps to minimize the load on the station batteries by shedding unnecessary loads in accordance with station SBO procedures (Reference 22). One (1) hour into the event, the determination that the Emergency Diesel Generators (EDGs) cannot be restarted is made and the operating crew classifies the event as a beyond-design-basis event and anticipates a loss of power for an extended time period. The RCIC trip signals and isolation signals that could possibly prevent RCIC operation when needed during the ELAP will be overridden in accordance with procedural direction. Additionally, the Automatic Depressurization System (ADS) should be placed in 'inhibit' or closely monitored to prevent automatic initiation of ADS (Reference 22). This is necessary to ensure reactor pressure is not reduced to a pressure which would prevent operation of RCIC.

At six (6) hours after the reactor shutdown, the Torus will be at 170'F and a controlled reactor 1 Coping modifications consist of modifications installed to increase initial coping time, i.e. generators to preserve vital instruments or increase operating time on battery powered equipment.

Page 15 of 83

February 2013 FLEX Integrated Plan Maintain Core Cooling depressurization is commenced based on EOP-1 1 HCTL curve (Reference 24). The RPV will be depressurized by manually cycling the SRVs in conjunction with continued RCIC operation to reduce reactor pressure to 120 psig over a three hour period, at which time the Torus will heat up to 235°F (Reference 7, 9). The SRVs are powered off of the 125 VDC batteries and the existing High Pressure Backup SRV Nitrogen Cylinder Supply to SRVs RV-203-3B and C will be modified to provide a set of pressure regulators for a continuous source of backup nitrogen at any time that the Drywell Essential Instrument Air Nitrogen Makeup System pressure drops below 90 psig.

The BWROG has performed a RCIC study (Reference 5) that assesses the operation of the RCIC System for long term operation at elevated Suppression Pool temperatures exceeding 230'F. For the successful implementation of the PNPS FLEX Strategy, the RCIC System is operated for approximately 9 hours1.041667e-4 days <br />0.0025 hours <br />1.488095e-5 weeks <br />3.4245e-6 months <br /> total time, at the end point of which the Torus temperature is just exceeding 230'F. This short term operation of RCIC at elevated temperatures is considered well within the capabilities of the system, and there is additional margin to allow operation for a longer period of time at these conditions if it were necessary due to delays in implementing the Phase 2 low pressure injection. The PNPS FLEX Strategy does not include Containment Venting until after reactor depressurization and thereby will not affect the Containment Pressure available for RCIC or HPCI Pump NPSH at 230"F Torus temperature during the time that these pumps may be operating (Reference 7, 9).

At 9 hours1.041667e-4 days <br />0.0025 hours <br />1.488095e-5 weeks <br />3.4245e-6 months <br /> after shutdown the reactor remains isolated and pressurized with RCIC providing core cooling, drawing water from the Suppression Pool (Torus). At this time the core cooling strategy will transition from RCIC to diesel powered FLEX Low Pressure Injection Pumps, which will be staged and connected from the Ultimate Heat Sink (UHS) to the CST suction line for injection via either the HPCI or RCIC Pump flow path, by injecting through the idle pump and into the normal pump discharge path to the RPV Feedwater lines. An alternate FLEX injection point is to the RHR System via the readily accessible Firewater to Service Water Cross-Tie to RHR, which provides a path to inject into the RPV, Drywell Spray, or Torus via the RHR System. Both FLEX injection points will be similarly outfitted with 5" Storz hose connections, as will all other FLEX connectors to the pumps, strainers, water tanks, and demineralizer tanks.

Hot & Cold Shutdown and Early Refueling Modes The Hot & Cold Shutdown conditions (other than Refueling Modes) are bounded by the FLEX Strategy for Power Operation. The FLEX Strategy response times for an event that occurs while already in Hot or Cold Shutdown are longer than for the Power Operation condition because the RPV is initially repressurized to allow use of the steam-driven RCIC or HPCI Systems for Core Cooling. The subsequent Phase 1, 2, & 3 actions are the same as for Power Operation, but occur later as the decay heat is lower and heatup times longer, dependent on the elapsed time since shutdown.

The most limiting shutdown condition event occurs during the early Reactor disassembly stages while in the Refueling Mode. After achieving Cold Shutdown and entering the Refueling Mode, the Drywell Head is removed and the RPV head detensioning process is begun (Reference 6).

First, the Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) Head Vent piping is removed from the 4" Reactor Head Page 16 of 83

February 2013 FLEX Integrated Plan Maintain Core Cooling Nozzle N8 and an FME/HEPA Adapter Flange is installed after the vessel head insulation is removed. Once the vessel head insulation assembly is removed, the Reactor Head Strongback Assembly is used to install the stud tensioners used to detension the RPV studs and that process is commenced, typically no earlier than 24 Hours after Reactor shutdown. Once the detensioning process has progressed to the Second Pass, typically no earlier than 36 Hours after Reactor shutdown, it would not be prudent to allow any significant repressurizing of the RPV if Shutdown Cooling were lost. For the FLEX Strategy planning, the bounding Refueling Outage time period to consider is at 36 Hours after Reactor shutdown, at which point the loss of all AC power and Shutdown Cooling is assumed to occur, with the following conditions (Reference 6, 25, 26):

  • Time-to-Boil @ 36 Hrs

= 1.9 Hrs (based on 125°F starting temp)

  • Boil-Off Rate @ 36 Hrs

= 80 GPM (Reference 26, Table 212)

  • Boil-Down to TAF @ 36 Hrs

= 11.2 Hrs (RPV Flange to Top-of-Active Fuel)

Prior to the start of the Reactor disassembly stages of a refueling outage, it shall be confirmed that no extreme weather events are imminent and certain FLEX equipment shall be pre-staged to provide more rapid implementation of the elements of the FLEX Strategy that are appropriate.

The pre-staging shall include the following activities:

Providing or staging AC power and hose connections to the FLEX Groundwater Wells with sufficient capacity to provide 80 GPM total makeup water to the storage tank.

Providing or staging hose connections to the FLEX Pump, to Demin Tank, to Duplex Strainer, and final discharge hose connection to the Hydraulic Connection Point at the Condensate Storage Tank (CST) Vault that is connected to the 18" HPCI / RCIC Suction Line.

Installation of the 4" Reactor Head Nozzle N8 FME/HEPA Adapter Flange that is modified to include an Isolation Valve and discharge nozzle to allow filling of the Reactor Basin by flowing out of the N8 Nozzle, if needed.

In the event of a BDBEE the pre-staged equipment will be placed in service and core cooling will immediately transition to Phase 2, if needed.

February 2013 FLEX Integrated Plan Maintain Core Cooling BWR Portable Equipment Phase 2:

Provide a general description of the coping strategies using on-site portable equipment including modifications that are proposed to maintain core cooling. Identify methods (RCIC/HPCI/IC)and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.

Primar Strategy - (Power Operation) When the Torus exceeds 230'F and no other sources of water are available, the UHS (seawater) will be used to provide subcooling flow to the RPV and the core cooling strategy will transition from using installed equipment to using portable equipment stored on-site (Reference 1). The strategy for this transition phase (Phase 2) will be capable of maintaining core cooling capabilities from the time it is implemented until offsite resources are provided in the final phase. The duration of the transition phase will provide sufficient overlap with both the initial and final phases to account for the time it takes to install equipment and for uncertainties (Reference 1). Prior to transition to Phase 2, at approximately 6 to 9 hours1.041667e-4 days <br />0.0025 hours <br />1.488095e-5 weeks <br />3.4245e-6 months <br /> after shutdown, two diesel powered FLEX Low Pressure Pumps are set up near the UHS in tandem using 5" hoses with a suction lift from the UHS. The pump discharge line includes a duplex strainer, flow rate meter and a totalizer with an injection connection point located at the vault between the CST tanks feeding into the underground HPCI/RCIC common suction line as shown on Figure 2 in Attachment 3 (Reference 6, 10, 11) A hydraulic calculation was performed to demonstrate the feasibility of the flowpath (Reference 3). The HPCI/RCIC common suction line in CST vault location will have a removable protective housing to facilitate connection and provide hardened protection. 100 kVA mobile generators will also be staged and connected to re-power the 125 and 250 volt DC battery chargers to maintain critical instruments and vital AC power.

(Reference 6, 10, 11)

The RPV will be depressurized by opening the SRVs and transitioning from RCIC drawing water from the Torus to the diesel powered FLEX Low Pressure Pumps injecting via the idle HPCI or RCIC Pump flow path. The final depressurization will be based on EOP-11 HCTL curve (Reference. 8, 9). The SRVs are remote manually held full open to depressurize the RPV for subcooling. When RPV pressure drops to approximately 50 psi above Torus pressure core cooling will be transitioned from RCIC operation to the diesel powered FLEX Low Pressure Pumps to subcool the RPV at minimum pressure. The tandem FLEX Pumps will provide subcooling injection flow to the RPV with heated liquid flow out the SRVs to the Torus. The flow thru the RPV will be maintained at twice the boil-off rate to preclude concentrating minerals from seawater in the RPV and to preclude any significant fouling of heat transfer surfaces. The initial FLEX flow rate during the final depressurization will be 400 GPM to restore RPV level after which the flow will be reduced to approximately 180 GPM for continuous subcooling of the core at 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br />, and steadily reduced after that at a prescribed rate that will be used to control the FLEX Pump injection rate, via manual speed control of the pump. Torus water level will also be monitored and available in the Main Control Room to evaluate the Torus inventory and water level and make adjustments as-needed. At 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br /> after shutdown the Torus will be at 250'F and 15 psig and the Torus level will be slowly rising above the initial 132 inch water level (Reference 6, 10, 11).

Page 23 of 83

February 2013 FLEX Integrated Plan Maintain Core Cooling BWR Portable Equipment Phase 2:

At 16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br /> after shutdown it is calculated that the Torus will heat up to 280'F. The torus vent AO-5025 will then be opened to provide containment heat removal. The Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) at PNPS which includes the 8" Air-Operated Butterfly Valve AO-5025 will be capable of venting the Wetwell (Torus) airspace to provide a means of Containment Heat Removal as part of the FLEX Strategy. The Torus steam venting rate will be equivalent to at least 60 GPM at these conditions (Reference 6, 10, 11). The Diesel powered FLEX Low Pressure Injection Pumps continue to provide subcooling of the core with heated liquid flow out the SRVs to the Torus. The flow rate required for subcooling will be continually reduced according to a schedule (Reference 6, 10, 11) and the flow totalizer readings. At this time, preparations are underway to power the station groundwater wells with a portable 100 kVA 480 VAC 3-PH generator and to begin adding water to completely fill the Water Storage Frac Tank to prepare for a Phase 3, long-term reactor feedwater makeup and boiling strategy. (Reference 6, 10, 11)

Alternate Strategy - (Power Operation)

If the RCIC system should fail such that the CST line to the RCIC Pump suction flow path were not available, the alternate FLEX Hydraulic water source injection point will be to the RHR System at the existing Fire Water to RHR System Cross-Tie 8-inch connection via a removable spool in the Auxiliary Bay EL 23 ft Water Treatment Area via 8-inch Fire Water Manual Isolation Gate Valve 10-HO-511 that feeds into the RHR System 18-inch Cross-Tie. (Reference 15, 16).

A removable 8-inch FLEX spool piece connector with Victaulic Couplings would be installed to accept a 5-inch Hose Connector from the two diesel powered FLEX Low Pressure Pumps set up in tandem using 5" hoses with a suction lift from the UHS.

The pump discharge line includes a duplex strainer, flow rate meter and a totalizer. PNPS 5.3.26 (Reference 17) provides the existing guidance on providing a low pressure injection source for this scenario. The strategy identifies the use of the Fire Water to RHR/SSW System Cross-Tie via 10-HO-511 (Reference 17).

To recharge the 125 & 250 VDC batteries AC power transfer switches will be installed to disconnect the chargers from their 480 VAC electrical buses and provide a cable connector on the 480 VAC line side of each individual 125 & 250 VDC Station Battery Charger (Normal & Backup) to provide power directly to the battery chargers using a FLEX mobile 480 VAC 3-PH 100 kVA capacity AC Power Generator. One such generator will be deployed in the Turbine Building Truck Lock, a protected location that provides for rapid deployment. The primary strategy will be to connect the FLEX mobile 480 VAC 3-PH 100 kVA capacity AC Power Generator to the Normal 125 & 250 VDC Station Battery Chargers to maintain these systems operating indefinitely. The Alternate strategy will be to connect the FLEX mobile 480 VAC 3-PH 100 kVA capacity AC Power Generator to the Backup 125 & 250 VDC Station Battery Chargers. The ability to power any of the Normal and Backup 125 & 250 VDC Station Battery Chargers provides a diverse and flexible strategy to repower the 125 & 250 VDC Station Batteries. See Figure 7 of Attachment 3. (Reference 6)

February 2013 FLEX Integrated Plan Maintain Core Cooling BWR Portable Equipment Phase 2:

Hot & Cold Shutdown and Early Refiieling Modes As noted in Phase 1, the Early Refueling condition is the most limiting Shutdown case and the FLEX equipment to power the station groundwater wells, the FLEX Pump and connection to the CST line to prepare for a long-term reactor feedwater makeup and boiling strategy will be prestaged and placed in service within the time period for RPV heatup to boiling. RPV cooling flow will be initiated from the FLEX Pump operating at the maximum available flow rate sufficient, at a minimum, to provide saturated makeup, and preferably to sub-cool the RPV via either of the following methods, depending on the status of the RPV head detensioning at the time. (Reference 6,

18) A modified 4" Reactor Head Nozzle N8 FME/HEPA adapter flange which includes an isolation valve and discharge nozzle to allow filling of the Reactor Basin by flowing out of the N8 Nozzle will be installed.

If the detensioning has progressed past the point where repressurizing the RPV would not be prudent, then flow will be established into the Reactor Basin with sub-cooled water discharging through the 4" Reactor Head Nozzle N8 Adapter Flange. If progress does not prevent repressurizing of the RPV, then the 4" Reactor Head Nozzle N8 Adapter Flange Isolation Valve will be closed and the SRVs are opened, this will require repressurizing the RPV to approximately 50 psig to discharge to the Torus and begin a long term reactor feedwater makeup and boiling strategy. (Reference 6)

Storage / Protection of Equipment:

Describe storage / protection plan or schedule to determine storage requirements Seismic List how equipment will be protected or scheduled to protect The storage provided for FLEX equipment will be configured to meet the requirements identified in NEI 12-06 section 11.

The PNPS FLEX Equipment Storage Strategy is based on the use of seismically rugged, diverse, spatially separated locations. There will be two primary FLEX Equipment Storage Locations at opposite ends of the PNPS Site outside of the Protected Area.

Each FLEX Equipment Storage Locations will have the required "N" quantity of items with the exception of the 100 kVA Diesel Generators that will have one at each location and one normally pre-staged in the Turbine Building. This provides a total "N+I " quantity on the site.

This storage strategy provides a total "2N" quantity of the FLEX Equipment that is required during the initial 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> time period and "N+ " quantity for all equipment.

The "2N" equipment is split between two locations each of which provides protection from Seismic, Flooding, Hurricane, and Extreme Temperature.

For Extreme Wind & Tornado, with associated Missile Hazards, the strategy is based on "N" equipment remaining deployable based on the diverse storage locations and the localized effect of these events.

The Primary Mobile 21,000 Gallon Water Storage Tank is not specifically hardened for Tornado missile hazards and, as an alternative, there are "2N" Backup 11,000 Gallon Collapsible Water Storage Bladder Tanks that can be used in place of the Primary Tank.

PNPS procedures and programs are being developed to address storage structure requirements, haul path requirements, and FLEX equipment requirements relative to the hazards applicable to PNPS.

Primary Strategy The Torus cools down to 250'F at 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> after shutdown. The Torus Vent AO-5025 will still be open to provide containment heat removal. The Torus steam venting rate will be equivalent to a 60 GPM Torus makeup water flow rate. (Reference 3) The diesel powered FLEX Low Pressure Injection Pumps have been providing subcooling of the core with heated liquid flow out the SRVs to the Torus, which may be approaching the max level. At this time, the station groundwater wells have been powered by a portable 100 kVA generator and the Well Pumps are feeding the mobile water tank that will be seismically evaluated to demonstrate the maximum fill capacity for normal demineralized water storage. (Reference 1) The transition to Phase 3 will be completed by transferring the suction of the FLEX Pump to the mobile water tank to provide reactor makeup thru with the FLEX Pump discharging thru the Skid-Mounted Demineralizer Vessel to the RPV via the CST suction line to begin a long-term reactor feedwater makeup and boiling strategy. The vessel will be flushed with subcooled water from the mobile Frac tank to the Torus (via SRVs) and then the RPV will be allowed to boil down to a stable water level. The plant will be in a stable condition with outside resources available to maintain stable conditions indefinitely. There are no time-critical actions at this time that are required to restore additional plant systems. (Referencel, 2, 3, 4)

Alternate Strategy The core cooling strategy for Phase 3 will be similar to Phase 2 where the RPV injection point will be thru the FLEX Hydraulic water source injection point to the RHR System at the existing Fire Water to RHR System Cross-Tie connection and the source of water being used will be from the Well Pumps supplying the mobile water tank and makeup thru the Skid-Mounted Demineralizer Vessel as described above.

Containment Venting or Alternate Heat Removal Hydrogen Igniters (Mark ill containments only)

BWR Installed Equipment Phase 1:

Provide a general description of the coping strategies using installed equipment including modifications that are proposed to maintain core cooling. Identify methods (containment vent or alternative /Hydrogen Igniters)and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.

During Phase 1, containment integrity is maintained by normal design features of the containment, such as the containment isolation valves and the Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS). In accordance with NEI 12-06 (Reference 6), the containment is assumed to be isolated following the event. During the first 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> after shutdown, the reactor remains isolated and pressurized with RCIC providing core cooling drawing water from the suppression pool (Torus). As the Torus heats up due to RCIC operation, the containment will begin to heat up and pressurize. According to FLEX Strategy Thermal-Hydraulic Analysis the Torus temperature is the limiting factor for implementation of the ELAP strategy (Reference 3, 4). As discussed in the Phase 1 Core Cooling section above, after 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> the Torus temperature will be at 170'F and a controlled reactor depressurization is commenced based on the EOP-1 1 HCTL (Reference 2).

When the Torus heats up to 280'F at 16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br /> after shutdown, the Torus vent AO-5025 is opened to provide containment heat removal and begin a long term strategy of reactor feedwater makeup and boiling to protect the core and containment. The PNPS FLEX Strategy is based on performing Torus Venting for Containment heat removal when the Drywell or Torus approaches the Design Temperature of 281 'F, which corresponds to a Saturation Pressure of 35 psig which is well below the Primary Containment Pressure Limit (PCPL) of 60 psig as given in EOP-11 Figure 4.

The HCVS is used as implemented per EA-12-050 Reliable Hardened Containment Vents (Reference 5) with Torus Vent control and monitoring from the Main Control Room (MCR) and/or from an HCVS Local Instrument Panel & Pneumatic Control Station. The PNPS FLEX Strategy does not include Containment Venting until after Reactor depressurization and therefore will not affect the Containment Pressure available for RCIC or HPCI Pump NPSH during the time that these pumps may be operating (see Item 3.1 in the Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) Gap Analysis for NRC Order EA-12-050. (Reference 5))

The containment design pressure is 56 psig, as noted in FSAR table 5.2-1 (Reference 1), which is at a Low-Low Torus Water Level and corresponds to 60 psig Torus Bottom Pressure. Containment pressure limits are not expected to be reached during the event as indicated by FLEX Strategy Thermal-Hydraulic Analysis (Reference 3, 4), because the HCVS is opened prior to exceeding any containment pressure limits. Thus, containment integrity is not challenged and remains functional throughout the event. Monitoring of Containment Drywell & Torus Pressure and Torus Water Level

& Temperature will be available via normal plant instrumentation.

February 2013 FLEX Integrated Plan Maintain Containment Phase 1 (i.e., the use of permanently installed plant equipment/features) of containment integrity is maintained throughout the duration of the event; no non-permanently installed equipment is required to maintain containment integrity. Therefore, there is no defined end time for the Phase I coping period for maintaining containment integrity. An alternative strategy for containment during Phase 1 is not provided, because containment integrity is maintained by the plant's design features.

The SFP will slowly heat up following the loss of the Normal SFP Cooling System due to loss of AC power. Calculations M588 "Fuel Pool Decay Heat and Heatup Times" and M907 "Refueling Outage Decay Heat Evaluation" "(References 6 and 7 respectively) provide the design basis SFP heat loads, heatup times, and boil-off rates for the SFP following a 20-Day Refueling Outage and a Maximum Normal Spent Fuel Discharge, which is a conservative bounding condition for the Spent Fuel Pool Heat Load. For the FLEX Strategy evaluation of the Spent Fuel Pool heat load, it is conservatively assumed that the Reactor is operating at 100% power and that it has been only 30-days since the last Reactor shutdown for refueling. The SFP conditions at this point in time are then:

" Time-to-Boil @ 30 Days = 32 Hrs (based on 125 'F starting temp)

Boil-Off Rate @ 30 Days = 12 GPM (Reference 6 Table 6)

Refueling Mode Full Core Offload The plant shutdown condition is also considered in which the Reactor full core has been off-loaded to the Spent Fuel Pool, and the SFP Gate has been installed to allow complete or partial draining of the Reactor Basin, such as might be done for some type of major vessel internals repair activity.

Per Reference 5, the earliest time that this plant configuration could be accomplished is assumed to be at least 150 Hrs after Reactor shutdown. The SFP conditions at this point in time are then:

  • Time-to-Boil @ 150 Hrs = 7.3 Hrs (based on 125 'F starting temp)
  • Boil-Off Rate @ 150 Hrs = 51 GPM (Reference 6, Table 7)

Refuieling Mode Core Offload in Progress The addition of up to 350,000 gallons required to complete the filling of the Reactor Basin and Dryer & Separator Pool, or an equal volume added to the Torus, will allow at least 72 Hours to either restore active cooling, or to begin providing makeup only at the total rate for the Reactor Full Core and Spent Fuel Pool that will be 68 GPM at 72 Hours after Reactor shutdown. (Reference 6)

For the alternative plant shutdown conditions during which the Reactor normal or full core fuel discharge is in the process of transfer or has been completely off-loaded to the Spent Fuel Pool, the same FLEX equipment will be used to provide makeup water to the Reactor and/or Spent Fuel Pool at a rate equal to the maximum 51 GPM Boil-Off Rate at 150 Hrs after shutdown to maintain a nominally full water level. (Reference 6)

Primary Strategy Method 1 The initial source of SFP makeup water will be provided by storage of demineralized water in the Page 43 of 83

February 2013 FLEX Integrated Plan Maintain Spent Fuel Pool Cooling BWR Portable Equipment Phase 2:

lower volume of the Dryer & Separator Storage Pool (below EL 97 ft). The capacity of this lower volume is 34,000 Gal. (Reference 7) Transfer of water from the Dryer & Separator Storage Pool to the Spent Fuel Pool will be via a hose connected to a Submersible Air-Powered Diaphragm Pump with a bottom suction and capacity up to 120 GPM. A Diesel Air Compressor (DAC) and hose will be pre-staged for use on the Reactor Building Refuel Floor to provide SFP makeup water transfer from the Dryer & Separator Storage Pool to the Spent Fuel Pool. A usable volume of 30,000 GPM will provide a 42 Hr supply of makeup water at a boil-off rate of 12 GPM. The total heatup Time to boiling and available makeup water supply is then 74 hours8.564815e-4 days <br />0.0206 hours <br />1.223545e-4 weeks <br />2.8157e-5 months <br />. (Reference 5)

Primary Strategy Method 2 There will be an existing capability to supply makeup water to the Spent Fuel Pool without accessing the refueling floor. This connection will be via the RHR to Fuel Pool Cooling System (RHR/FPC) Intertie from RHR System 6-inch valve 1001-104 to 19-HO-166 that connects to the Fuel Pool Cooling System 8-inch Return Header directly to the Spent Fuel Pool as described in the Design Basis Report MDBR1 1. (Reference 1) If the FLEX Pump will be the source of makeup water, it will be connected to the RHR System via the Fire Water to RHR / SSW System Cross-Tie via 10-HO-511 in accordance with PNPS 5.3.26 that installs an 8" Victaulic to 2-1/2" fire hose adaptor to the lower flange of the Fire Water to RHR crosstie pipe connection at the Aux Bay EL 23 ft location. (Reference 3, 4) The makeup source of water will be from the UHS and will satisfy the requirements of the primary strategy for makeup water at a boil-off rate of 12 GPM.

Primary Strategy Method 3 The case that requires spray cooling for the SFP greater than the makeup rate will utilize existing equipment that is intended to support the Mitigating Strategies Requirements from previous NRC Order EA-02-026, Section B.5.b, and 10 CFR 50.54(hh)(2). The regulatory guidance contained in NRC Order EA-02-026, Section B.5.b, as noted in JLD-ISG-2012-01 continues to provide an acceptable means of meeting the requirement to develop, implement and maintain the necessary guidance and strategies for that subset of beyond-design-basis external events.

The GOTHIC analysis uses the conservative assumptions of a 102*F outside temperature and loss of offsite power heat loads for the MCR (Reference 1). No other actions or modifications are required for MCR Accessibility.

RCIC Room Accessibility:

It is not anticipated that the RCIC room will require occupation by personnel during the event.

The only case where personnel would be required to enter the RCIC room will be during Phase 1 if remote operation fails. Also, RCIC room area temperatures of 1600 to 170*F or RCIC valve station temperatures of 1900 to 200*F will isolate both the inboard and outboard steam isolations valves. (Reference 4) The PNPS Probabilistic Safety Assessment (Reference 3) contains evaluations of the RCIC room heatup for station blackout conditions. One evaluation was performed using GOTHIC (Appendix M2) and another evaluation was performed by General Electric as part of a Station Blackout study (Appendix F7). The GOTHIC results indicate temperatures of 124.5"F for the RCIC Pump quadrant, 137.7"F for the RCIC Pump Quadrant Mezzanine, and 121.8*F for the RCIC Valve Station at 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br />.

Spent Fuel Pool Area:

SFP bulk boiling will create adverse temperature, humidity, and condensation conditions in the Reactor Building. NEI 12-06 requires a ventilation vent pathway to exhaust the humid atmosphere from the EL 117 ft SFP / Refuel Floor Area with an outside air inlet at a lower elevation.

The Reactor Building Roof Access Air Lock and Roof Hatch at EL 158 ft provides a high level vent outlet from the SFP/Refuel Floor while also opening a ground level ventilation inlet, such as the Reactor Building Truck-Lock. This action will be required to be performed prior to the onset of SFP boiling (as water temperature approaches 200 'F).

The Tornado Event is the most limiting and potentially results in only "N" FLEX Equipment available, including the loss of the B.5.b Pump, but this event has no potential to drain the SFP, which is the basis for the primary SFP Spray capability of the B.5.b Pump in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(hh) for Security-Related Events. All other events will result in at least "N+2" FLEX Pumps available, each of which has the same capability as the B.5.b Pump and can provide SFP Spray at the same flow rates and conditions. The B.5.b requirement includes a SFP makeup rate of at least 500 GPM and SFP Spray requirement of 250 GPM and is not based on a particular leakage or boil-off makeup rate, it is the required spray flow needed to prevent exposed spent fuel from reaching the oxidation temperature after a SFP draindown. This B.5.b capability is not compromised in any way by the simultaneous deployment of FLEX Equipment. For all ELAP and LUHS Events, "N" FLEX Pumps provide the required capacity for Core Cooling, Containment Heat Removal, and SFP Makeup Water.

One FLEX Portable 480 VAC 3-PH 100 kVA Diesel Generator (DG) will normally be pre-staged in the Turbine Building Truck Lock, which is adjacent to the AC Switchgear and DC System Battery Rooms. This DG is thereby capable of early deployment (within 4 Hours) during any Station Black-Out (SBO) and is capable of maintaining both 125 VDC Battery Divisions, and the 250 VDC Battery, charged and operating indefinitely. Should this DG not be available due to the Event, there are two additional, identical, FLEX DGs in the Dual FLEX Equipment Storage Locations that will be deployed within the 8 Hour Battery capacity ratings and these two DGs can initially be dedicated to the repowering both 125 VDC Division Battery Chargers simultaneously. After the initial 8 Hour recharging period, a single AC Generator can maintain the batteries indefinitely by alternately recharging the batteries in each Division to 70% capacity and then alternating to the second Division before it is depleted.

3.

Two FLEX 400 GPM @ 350 ft TH Diesel Pumps are required to provide Core Cooling and SFP Makeup Water. Initially, for FLEX Phase 2, the two pumps are used in tandem to pump water from the UHS through the Duplex Strainer 400 GPM Trailer-Mounted Skid w/Flow Meter & Totalizer to the FLEX injection point. Later, in FLEX Phase 3, a single FLEX Pump draws fresh water from the Water Storage Tank and pumps through the Skid-Mounted Demin Tank and the Duplex Strainer Trailer to the FLEX injection point.

The second FLEX Pump may then be used for SFP makeup water from the Water Storage Tank. The Groundwater Wells are powered by a FLEX Portable 480 VAC 3-PH 100 kVA DG and discharge to the Water Storage Tank.

4.

One 125 CFM 100 PSIG Diesel Air Compressor (DAC) is the required pneumatic pressure source for the Air-Powered Diaphragm Pumps used for Diesel Fuel Transfer, SFP Makeup Water, & General Dewatering Service. A single DAC can support these functions simultaneously.

5.

Two 12" Duct Intrinsically Safe Portable Ventilation Fans are to be deployed, one in each DC Power System Battery Room, to provide forced exhaust ventilation to prevent the accumulation of Hydrogen gas that evolves from lead-acid battery charging. The fans are 120 VAC 1-PH AC Motor driven and can be powered from the 120 VAC outlets on the 480 VAC 3-PH 100 kVA DG that is charging the batteries or from any one of the small 120/240 VAC 1-PH 6 kW or 12 kW DGs.

February 2013 FLEX Integrated Plan PNPS FLEX Equipment Storage Sea Vans PNPS will be storing FLEX equipment in Sea Vans at two separate locations at the opposite extremes of the Owner Controlled Area (approximately 1800ft geographically separated). The locations are also at the higher elevations on the site, a minimum of 30ft above mean sea level. The North Storage Area is partially established and is as shown in the photos below. The Sea Vans are supplied with AC power for equipment heaters and lighting, one Sea Van is environmentally controlled, and the others ventilated. The site storage is located and arranged to also support equipment testing, operability, and provide for rapid deployment.
