On August 29, 2001 (References 1 & 2), Cook Unit 1 was in MODE 5 for a planned maintenance outage and Unit 2 was in MODE 1. Unit 2 Operations personnel were performing a routine surveillance test of the Essential Service Water (ESW) system in accordance with approved plant procedures. At approximately 2255 hours0.0261 days <br />0.626 hours <br />0.00373 weeks <br />8.580275e-4 months <br />, Unit 2 Operations personnel noted low ESW flow to both of the Unit 2 Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) heat exchangers. The Unit 1 ESW flows were also checked and it was determined that ESW flow to both Unit 1 EDG heat exchangers was low. All four EDGs were declared inoperable. After flushing the ESW side of the associated heat exchangers both Unit 2 EDGs were declared OPERABLE at 2350 hours0.0272 days <br />0.653 hours <br />0.00389 weeks <br />8.94175e-4 months <br />. These efforts were mostly successful with the exception of ESW flow to one of the two Unit 1 D/Gs.
Also, on August 29th and early on August 30th, the licensee observed abnormally low ESW flow to a Unit 2 component cooling water (CCW) heat exchanger. In response, the licensee cycled the ESW flow inlet and outlet valves associated with the heat exchanger. Following the opening and closing of the valves, flow increased; however, the resultant flow was less than the expected levels.
Because the reasons for the degraded D/G and CCW ESW heat exchanger flow conditions were not fully understood, the licensee shut down Unit 2.
Cause. Following the shutdown, the licensee determined that debris in the ESW system likely was the result of a deformed strainer basket associated with the Unit 1 East ESW pump. Through a review of records, the licensee determined that the Unit 1 East ESW pump discharge strainer basket was likely deformed during installation in 1989. The licensee also determined that an inadequate understanding of the safety function of the strainer baskets and application of the single failure criteria to the ESW system contributed to the event.
IR No: 50-315/01-17, 50-316/01-17 & LER 316/01-003 2
SENSITIVE - NOT FOR PUBLIC DISCLOSURE 2.
On August 9, 2001(Reference 3), the licensee removed the Turbine Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump (TDAFWP) from service from Unit 2 to perform several pre-planned maintenance activities. Following completion of these activities on August 10, the licensee performed two unsuccessful TDAFWP start attempts in accordance with their operating procedure. A subsequent TDAFWP start attempt for troubleshooting on August 10, 2001 was also unsuccessful. The licensee investigated the failure and determined that the cause of the failure to start was due to insufficient engagement of the trip latch mechanism for the turbine trip throttle valve. The licensee repaired the trip throttle valve and returned the TDAFWP to an operable status on August 11, 2001.
Cause. The Licensee Procedure 12-MHP 5021.056.007, "Auxiliary Feed Pump Trip and Throttle Valve Linkage Adjustment," specified a trip throttle valve contact alignment criterion, that was less conservative than the contact alignment specified in vendor TDAFWP trip throttle valve test instructions. Alignment of the trip throttle valve using a less conservative contact acceptance criterion could result in less latch engagement than required by a surface contact area acceptance criterion and a greater potential for inadvertent disengagement of the trip throttle latching mechanism. On June 14, 2000, the Unit 2 TDAFWP trip throttle valve was adjusted in accordance with 12-MHP 5021.056.007. Subsequently, on August 10, 2001, the Unit 2 TDAFWP trip throttle valve failed to adequately engage during three start attempts. The licensee determined that the apparent cause of the August 2001 failure was insufficient engagement of the trip throttle valve latching mechanism. The inspectors concluded that an apparent event occurred due to the failure to include appropriate quantitative acceptance criteria in maintenance procedure.
Condition Duration.
1.
Low ESW Flow to EDGs (Units 1&2)
The licensee determined that the Unit 1 East ESW pump discharge strainer basket was likely deformed during installation in 1989. Based on the information in the licensee event report (LER) and the NRC Inspection Report(Reference 2), the assumption was made that the failure could have occurred anytime during full power operation from June 1989 to August 29, 2001. Therefore, the condition duration in this analysis for full power operation was taken as 1 year (8760 hours0.101 days <br />2.433 hours <br />0.0145 weeks <br />0.00333 months <br />), the maximum time period used for a condition assessment for the Accident Sequence Precursor (ASP) Program.
2.
Unavailability of TDAFWP (Unit 2)
The licensee determined that the TDAFWP was previously tested satisfactorily on May 18, 2001. Because the TDAFWP was not tested between May 18 and August 10, 2001, and there is uncertainty about when the failure cause actually rendered the TDAFW Pump unable to perform its design function, the time for the condition assessment is taken as one-half of the interval (May 18, 2001, to August 10, 2001), or 42 days (1007 hours0.0117 days <br />0.28 hours <br />0.00167 weeks <br />3.831635e-4 months <br />).

SENSITIVE - NOT FOR PUBLIC DISCLOSURE 3.
Low ESW Flow to EDGs and Unavailability of TDAFWP (Unit 2)
The condition on EDGs also existed from May 18 and August 10, 2001 when the TDAFWP was not tested and it was determined that TDAFWP was in failed condition. In ASP analysis the unavailability of both EDGs and TDAFWP are considered.
Recovery Opportunities.
1.
Low ESW Flow to EDGs Credit is given to the restoration of ESW flow to the EDG coolers after a flow blockage event. The amount of credit is dependent on the number of EDGs degraded. As part of SDP, the licensee had presented an evaluation of recovery actions associated with this event. The NRC analysts agree that some credit for recovery can be taken even though the actions described are not proceduralized and there are no operator training for this scenario on the basis that these actions were actually carried out during the August 2001 event at the plant, albeit, not during a single or dual-unit LOOP.
2.
Unavailability of TDAFW Recovery of the Unit 2 TDAFWP was not possible following the failure to start. This conclusion was based on the inability of the licensee to start successfully the TDAFWP during three start attempts on August 10, 2001. Additionally, the NRC inspectors concluded that, due to the nature of the TDAFWP trip throttle valve repair activities required, it was not credible to conclude that the pump could be returned to service within the first several hours of an accident.
IR No: 50-315/01-17, 50-316/01-17 & LER 316/01-003 1 Since this condition did not involve an actual initiating event, the parameter of interest is the measure of the incremental increase between the conditional probability for the period in which the condition existed and the nominal probability for the same period but with the condition nonexistent and plant equipment available. This incremental increase or importance is determined by subtracting the CDP from the CCDP. This measure is used to assess the risk significance of hardware unavailabilities especially for those cases where the nominal CDP is high with respect to the incremental increase of the conditional probability caused by the hardware unavailability.
4 Analysis Results Importance1 1.
Low ESW Flow to EDGs - Units 1 and 2 The risk significance of the EDGs being unavailable is determined by subtracting the nominal core damage probability from the conditional core damage probability. For Unit 1, the results are as follows:
conditional core damage probability (CCDP) - mean 8.4E-05 nominal core damage probability (CDP) - mean 7.4E-05 Importance ( CDP):
8.9E-06 95% percentile 2.6E-05 mean 1.0E-05 5% percentile 1.6E-06 This is an increase of 1.0E-5 over the nominal CDP for the 1 year period when the EDGs are assumed to be in a degraded condition and susceptible to failure.
For Unit 2, the mean increase in nominal CDP for the 1 year period is 6.6E-6. The difference between this result and the result from Unit 1 stems from the fact that debris dispersion was estimated to be less likely on the Unit 2 side, thus, the failure probability of the Unit 2 EDGs was estimated to be half that for the Unit 1 EDGs (0.25 versus 0.5).
This is discussed more in detail in Appendix A.

TDAFWP Unavailability Duration Overlapped by Low ESW Flow to EDGs Duration For a Dual Event LOOP - Unit 2 For the period of 1007 hours0.0117 days <br />0.28 hours <br />0.00167 weeks <br />3.831635e-4 months <br /> where both the potential of ESW clogging event and the TDAFW pump unavailability event could occur concurrently, the SPAR results show a mean CDP of 1.1E-06. For the remaining 7753 hours0.0897 days <br />2.154 hours <br />0.0128 weeks <br />0.00295 months <br /> of the year, the TDAFW pump was available and the mean CDP was calculated for the ESW event by itself.

SENSITIVE - NOT FOR PUBLIC DISCLOSURE Modeling Assumptions Assessment summary 1.
Low ESW Flow to EDGs This event was modeled as an at-power condition (dual unit LOOP) assessment with probability that the emergency diesel generators unavailable for 1 year and clogging of emergency diesel generators in 30 minutes to one hour.
2.
Unavailability of TDAFW Unit 2 This event was modeled as an at-power condition assessment with the TDAFW pump unavailable for 42 days (1007 hours0.0117 days <br />0.28 hours <br />0.00167 weeks <br />3.831635e-4 months <br />).
The Revision 3i Standardized Plant Analysis Risk (SPAR) model for D.C. Cook (Ref. 4) was used for these assessments. The Revision 3i SPAR model includes event trees for transients (including loss of feedwater and a transfer tree for anticipated transient without scram or ATWS), loss of offsite power (including a transfer tree for station blackout), small loss-of-coolant accident, and steam generator tube rupture. These event trees were used in the analysis. The discussion below provides the bases for significant changes to the model.
Basic event probability changes Table 4 provides the basic events that were modified to reflect the conditions being analyzed. The bases for these changes are as follows:
1.
Low ESW Flow to EDGs Probability of failure of the Emergency Diesel Generators 1A and 1B During a Dual Unit LOOP. The probability that the EDGs would clog was set as shown in Appendix A.
The uncertainty distributions for failure probabilities and initiating event frequencies were updated so that the analysis of parameter uncertainty can be performed.
2.
Unavailability of TDAFW Unit 2 Probability of failure of the TDAFW pump (AFW-TDP-FR-P1A, and AFW-XHE-XL-TDFR ). The probability that the pump would fail to run and that there will be no recovery was set to TRUE (failure probability of 1.0) to reflect the failure of the train to provide flow.
IR No: 50-315/01-17, 50-316/01-17 & LER 316/01-003 9
SENSITIVE - NOT FOR PUBLIC DISCLOSURE Non-recovery probabilities for the auxiliary feedwater system. Based on the failure cause (oil leak), the TDAFW pump was not considered recoverable within the time period available for a LOOP event (dominant sequence). The sequence non-recovery probabilities for the dominant sequences were modified to account for the non-recovery of the AFW system during a LOOP (see Table 4).
Model update The SPAR model for D.C. Cook was updated to account for:
Updates of system/component failure probabilities and initiating event frequencies based on recent operating experience, Initiating event frequency updates-Generic PWR Loss of offsite power initiating event frequency update-Plant specific Changes in the probability of failing to recover AFW in 1007 hours0.0117 days <br />0.28 hours <br />0.00167 weeks <br />3.831635e-4 months <br /> to account for estimated core uncovery times for conditional assessment sequences (Ref. 4),
The bases for these updates are described in the footnotes to Table 4.

Unique system and operational considerations None Modifications to event tree and fault tree models Modifications to the emergency power fault tree models. The fault trees for emergency power were modified to add the capability of recovery of each EDG during silt intrusion. This modification added a number of basic events to the 3.01 model for recovery of EDGs (see Figures 3 through 14). The following basic events added:

Debris entrainment probability 0.3 The ASP analysis uses a probability of 0.3 based on operating experiences at the site. From 1996 to May 2002 there has been 10 reactor trips at D. C. Cook. In three of these cases there was sufficient disturbance in the forebay to cause in silt injection to ESW or CCW systems that resulted in system perturbations. Section A.3 discusses this in more detail.
Failed strainer in-service during a LOOP 0.77 Same as value used in SDP analysis.
EDG failure probability 0.5 for unit 1 EDGs 0.25 for unit 2 EDGs Based on ESW flow rates during the August 2001 event.
Section A.4 discusses this in more detail.
Accident scenarios modeled Given a dual unit LOOP, the following scenarios were modeled: all four EDGs are failed by the debris entrainment; and also accident scenarios where debris entrainment only fails 3 of the 4 EDGs, 2 of the 4 EDGs, and 1 of the 4 EDGs.
The total )CDP is the sum of each of these individual scenarios weighted by their probability of occurrence.
Combinations of EDGs failure probabilities are as follows:
0 of 4 fails (i.e. 4 successes) = 0.1406 1 of 4 fails = 0.181if failure in unit 1, 0.091if failure in unit 2 2 of 4 fails = 0.2539 (one failure in each unit)
= 0.1269 (both failures in Unit 1)
= 0.0317 (both failures in Unit 2) 3 of 4 fails = 0.1064 (2 failures in Unit 1 and 1 failure in Unit 2)
= 0.0532, (1 failure Unit 1 and 2 failures in Unit 2) 4 of 4 fails = 0.01563 Section A.5 provides more detail.
Credit for operator recovery HEPs are dependent on the accident scenario modeled:
0.07 (1 of 4 EDGs failed) 0.22 (2 or 3 EDGs failed) 0.4 (all 4 EDGs failed)
The SPAR HRA worksheets were used to calculate the HEPs.
Section A.6 provides details.
IR No: 50-315/01-17, 50-316/01-17 & LER 316/01-003 A-2 SENSITIVE - NOT FOR PUBLIC DISCLOSURE Other assumptions:
All service water system (SWS) pumps and all CWS pumps in both units trip simultaneously. All SWS pumps restart on EDG load sequencing.
The intake bed (silt/mussels) lifts and is ingested in the SWS pumps (suction bell of these pumps is at the same elevation as the CWS pumps),
Debris is transmitted via the damaged strainer element via the open crossover valve(s) to each EDG.
Debris entrainment into the ESW system is assumed to only affect EDG operation. Effects on other system operations is not modeled.
Operator recovery is credited for flushing the EDG coolers and cycling of the valves.
Although these actions are not proceduralized, credit was taken since these recovery actions were carried out during the August 2001 event.
A.2 Single Unit LOOP Vs. Dual Unit LOOP A dual unit LOOP assumption is considered enveloping in the ASP analysis. Recovery actions are more probable in a single unit LOOP (e.g., ESW and electrical cross ties from the opposite unit can be used to recover from the debris clogging at the affected unit). It is also postulated that the debris disturbance in the forebay (and subsequent entrainment into the ESW system) would be greater during a dual unit LOOP since all CW pumps will trip (resulting in a backwash into the forebay) at approximately the same time that the ESW pumps will start.
LOOP Initiating Event Frequency Estimate Data sources. For this condition assessment, a frequency estimate for a dual unit loss of offsite power was developed that is based on events identified in NUREG/CR-5496, Evaluation of Loss of Offsite Power Events at Nuclear Power Plants: 1980-1996, and updated to include LER data through 2001. A search of the SCSS database was conducted to select LERs involving loss offsite power for the years 1997 through 2002. The total time period reviewed is 1980-2002.
Review criteria. Because of the design for the diesel generator coolers at D.C. Cook, loss of emergency service water to all four diesel generator coolers will only occur if power is lost to both units. The types of LOOP events that would involve both units include dual-unit, plant-centered LOOPs, grid-related LOOPs, and severe weather-related LOOPs. Other considerations include:
Causes of weather-related and grid-related LOOP events are independent of plant mode; therefore, both operating and shutdown experience were included.
IR No: 50-315/01-17, 50-316/01-17 & LER 316/01-003 A-3 SENSITIVE - NOT FOR PUBLIC DISCLOSURE LOOP events that occurred when all units at the site were shut down were not included.
LOOP caused by outage maintenance activity on one shutdown unit (even though the activity not performed while the plant operating) were included. This type of LOOP will be used to calculate a dual-unit, plant-centered LOOP frequency for the fraction of time that one unit at D.C. Cook is shutdown.
Hurricane-related LOOP events were not included since the region around Cook are not usually susceptible to hurricane events.
Results. The results of the review of LOOP events during the 1980-2002 period are given in the table below.

Frequency calculation. The LOOP frequency is estimated by:
FLOOP = FGrid + FSevere weather + FDual
- Where, FGrid = frequency of grid-related LOOPs FSevere weather = frequency of weather-related LOOPs FDual = frequency of plant-centered, dual-unit LOOPs The total operating and shutdown time for all sites (single and multi-unit sites) during 1987-2002 is 1,080 site calendar years, as shown in Table A3.2. The operating and shutdown time for only multi-unit sites during the same time is 570.9 site calendar years. Using the
IR No: 50-315/01-17, 50-316/01-17 & LER 316/01-003 A-4 SENSITIVE - NOT FOR PUBLIC DISCLOSURE criticality factor calculated in Table A3.3 of 0.78, the multi-unit critical time is 0.78 x 570.9 calendar year = 445 critical year Therefore, the mean frequency is FGrid = 1/1,018 yr = 9.8E-4/yr or 1.1E-7/hr FSevere weather = 5/1,018 yr = 4.9E-3/yr or 5.6E-7/hr FDual = 3/445 yr = 6.7E-3/yr or 7.7E-7/hr The dual LOOP frequency (per site calendar year) is:
FLOOP = 1.1E-7/hr + 5.6E-7/hr +7.7E-7/hr = 1.4E-6/hr or 1.2E-2/yr Probability Distribution. In order to obtain a probability distribution for FLOOP, a numeric analysis of each parameter would be required. Since the number of events controls the uncertainty bounds, a reasonable distribution can be created from an approximate analysis for the purpose of ASP uncertainty analysis. The number of LOOP events (9) and the LOOP frequency (8.8E-3/yr) are used to estimate a pseudo-exposure (732 yr.) so that a probability distribution can be created to express the uncertainty in the estimate.
The constrained non-informative prior distribution (Atwood 1996) was used. The distribution is given by:
(
)
Gamma Gamma F
=
05 1 2
Grid reliability and severe weather frequency varies between plants, so a more diffuse prior distribution is appropriate. The Gamma distribution parameters (in years) of the prior are =0.5 and =41. Performing a Bayesian update on the above distribution with D. C. Cook 12 operating years without a LOOP event since the installation of faulty strainer, the mean LOOP frequency for D.C.

A.3 Debris Entrainment Probability This analysis uses a probability of 0.3 based on operating experiences at the site. Since 1996 until May 2002 there has been 10 reactor trips in D. C. Cook. In three of these cases there was sufficient disturbance in the forebay to cause in silt injection to ESW or CCW systems, that resulted in system perturbations.

None of the EDGs were operating (therefore, the intake manifold was in bypass for this nonoperating mode). The lowest cooler flows prior to recovery attempts were as follows: 1AB cooler - no flow detected; 1CD cooler - 350 gpm; 2AB cooler - 350 gpm; and 2CD cooler - 250 gpm.
These reduced flows were recorded at 9:00 P.M. following a period of degradation that began with sequential circulating water system (CWS) pump shutdown at approximately 1:30 p.m.
Based on the August 2001 event, the ASP analysis uses an EDG failure probability of 0.5 for the Unit 1 EDGs. (EDG 1AB is assumed failed due to low flow rates in the cooler while EDG 1CD was assumed operable due to the stabilized flow rate at the cooler. The operability of the Unit 2 EDGs was more difficult to determine since the cooler flow rates have not stabilized during the August 2001 event.)
The probability of failure of the Unit 2 EDGs was determined to be less likely than for Unit 1 (Unit 2 EDG failure probability estimated to be 0.25) for the following reason. During the August 2001 event, one of the two Unit 2 ESW pumps was not started. Since both Unit 1 ESW pumps were operating during that event, it was postulated that the flow differential between the Unit 1 and Unit 2 ESW headers facilitated debris migration from the failed Unit 1 strainer to the Unit 2 ESW header and the Unit 2 EDG coolers. Based on this information, with all four ESW pumps operating during a hypothetical dual unit LOOP event, it is estimated that the amount of debris dispersion onto the Unit 2 side from a failed Unit 1 strainer would be half as much as the debris dispersion onto the Unit 1 side.

P (failure of A or B) = P(AcB) = P(A) + P(B), and no dependency between them or P (failure of A or B) = P(AcB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A1B), which is there is dependency between them.
The other way to model failure of these EDGs is by using the exact solution in order to consider dependencies between them.

The results of these operator recoveries are provided in HRA worksheets attached to end of this Appendix.
The analysis assumes that the operator only flushes the instrument lines when the symptom is low ESW flow indication (as was done during the August 2001 event). Flushing the instrument lines will add 30 to 40 minutes to the recovery time. It is also assumed that the operators focus on ESW flow faults, and not on instrument line faults when there are high CCW or ESW temperature alarms.
The analysis assumes that it is physically possible to recover the heat exchangers after blockage occurs. In the August 2001 event, the heat exchanger that was flushed was either the jacket water or the lube oil heat exchanger. In a LOOP event, the ESW passes through aftercooler and three way manifold, then through jacket water and lube oil cooler. Flushing the air aftercooler is not physically possible afer it is plugged.
Using the August 2001 event to illustrate feasibility of the operator recovery action may be somewhat optimistic. During that event, the EDGs were not operating, and therefore there was no potential trip of any EDG. Also, during the August 2001 event, power was available to assist valve cycling. During a LOOP, the valves have to be manually operated, thus requiring more effort and time.
The estimated HEP is dependent on the different scenarios and how many diesel generators will be lost, upon loss or low flow ESW to EDG coolers. For case when only one diesel generator will be lost, credit is given for valve cycling or heat exchanger flushing from water available when one ESW loaded on one of remaining diesel generators. The HEP of 0.07 is reasonable when sufficient time is available (i.e., time from initiating event to clogging of EDG heat exchanger exceeds 5 to 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />). This 0.07 is probably somewhat optimistic for recovery times of two hours or less. For cases when two or three diesel generators will be lost (August 2001 event),
still one diesel generator available for loading one ESW pump and valve cycling or heat exchanger flushing actions, the probability of recovery is 0.22. For the case when all diesel generator will be lost with a dual unit LOOP, a HEP of 0.4 is likely due to the lack of time (approximately less than1 hour available for recovery) and due to the fact that ESW flow unit cannot be credited for the valve cycling or heat exchanger flushing actions.(see attached SPAR HRA worksheets)
The estimated HEPs are also subject to the uncertainties. The analysis assumes that the time available for operator action during a dual unit LOOP is adequate, i.e., there will be more than 75 minutes available for operator recovery(actual time for diagnosis and flushing). This timing is sufficient for the recovery of ESW flow to EDG heat exchangers prior to the initiating event.
However, it is not obvious that the operator actually trips the EDGs during a LOOP event (even if procedures instructs him to do so) since this results in a SBO event.

This best estimate case represents the scenario where the probability of debris entrainment in the ESW system was estimated to be 0.3, and the probability of EDG failure as a result of the entrainment was estimated to be 0.5 per diesel for the Unit 1 EDGs and 0.25 per diesel for the Unit 2 EDGs.
The CDP for this case is estimated using a dual unit loss of offsite power initiator, and multiple diesel failure combinations and associated operator recovery probabilities.
Sensitivity analyses were performed for debris entrainment probabilities of 0.09 and 0.5. [The probability of 0.09 is based on the final Significance Determination Process (SDP) estimate, and the probability of 0.5 is based on the original SDP estimate as determined by information obtained from NRR analysts and the Resident Inspector.] The results of this sensitivity study are also show in Table A.1.
Sensitivity analyses were also performed for EDG failure probabilities of 0.5 for all four EDGs and 0.25 for all four EDGs. The results of these studies are shown in Tables A.2 and A.3 respectively.
An additional sensitivity was performed using HEP values of 0.13 for all cases. This HEP corresponds to the value proposed by the licensee as part of the SDP process. Results of this sensitivity case are show in Table A.4.
The mean CDPs for the best estimate and sensitivity cases are shown in Figure A.1. The distributions around the mean values (i.e., parameter uncertainty) for each of these cases are show in A.2 to A.4.

Region III reviewed the preliminary analysis and found it to be satisfactory.
A memo from Michael Tschiltz, Chief, Probabilistic Safety Assessment Branch (Ref. 15),
Division of Safety System Analysis (DSSA), Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR),
to Patrick Baranowsky, Chief, OERAB, DRAA, RES (dated August 26, 2003), provided peer review comments on the Preliminary Precursor Analysis of the condition reported in LER 3156/01-017. The comments have been reviewed and the following responses provided.
DSSA/NRR Comment 1: The cutsets for sequences 19-08 and 19-17 do not match the sequence logic. The sequence logic indicates that off-site AC power has been recovered following a loss-of-off-site power initiating event and failure of the EDGs. As a result, an RCP seal LOCA occurs and HPI fails following recovery of AC power. However, the cutsets do not contain HPI failure events. It appears that the flags LOSP-A and LOSP-B in sub-fault trees DIV-A-AC and DIV-B-AC have not been appropriately reset to false for these sequences. Thus, the EDG failures from the EP fault tree incorrectly render HPI and HPR inoperable. With that as a minimal cutset, other cutsets involving HPI equipment failures as well as the EDG failures appear to be non-minimal and are eliminated from the solution.
Response Agreed. The flags LOSP-A and LOSP-B in sub-fault trees DIV-A-Ac and DIV-B-AC were fixed. The fault trees reset to false for the sequences that off site power are recovered. The HPI and HPR are no longer render as inoperable after off site power recovery.
DSSA/NRR Comment 2: The additional fault tree logic (and its quantification) are not easy to understand and may be eliminating some of the cutsets that belong in the solution for the CDP. Because recovery of EDGs with clogged heat exchangers depends on the combined number of EDGs still operating in the two units, the additional logic needs to address multiple combinations of EDG failures and recoveries for each of the 4 EDGs.
Because all of the debris that causes the clogging enters the ESW system through one
IR No: 50-315/01-17, 50-316/01-17 & LER 316/01-003 SENSITIVE - NOT FOR PUBLIC DISCLOSURE B-2 failed strainer on ESW pump 1E, and that pump is powered by EDG 1A, failure of that EDG by causes other than clogging would preclude clogging of any of the other EDGs.
So, basic events EPS-DGN-FS-1A and EPS-SG-TM-1A (and, perhaps EPS DGN-FR-1A) should not appear in cutsets with any clogging events. The additional fault tree logic provided for this analysis seems to have accomplished that by means of the fault tree structure, without using the mutually-exclusive top event list. However, that approach compounds the difficulty of obtaining the correct recovery actions for the combinations of clogging events (see next comment). Use of the mutually exclusive top event technique would be a cleaner approach.
Response: We agree that the use of the mutually exclusive top event technique is one approach. However, the use of fault trees as was done in the Asp analysis is another approach that would accomplish the same objectives. Since the deformed strainer is on the essential service water pump 1E, and with random failure of Service water pump 1E, the stainer will not be in service to cause clogging of EDG coolers. Therefore, there will not be any clogging of any EDG cooler when the EDG 1AB fails randomly. The sequence recovery rule is now added to the text for clarification. The text and fault trees description have revised for better understanding of logic and its quantification.
DSSA/NRR Comment 3: (3-a) The additional fault tree logic in the draft analysis is intended to accommodate different recovery probabilities for various numbers of EDGs that have failed due to heat exchanger clogging. Because of the availability of cross-ties between the two units, the additional logic needs to address failures of EDGs in the opposite unit. The draft analysis derives non-recovery probabilities for cases where 1, 2, 3 or all 4 of the EDGs have failed due to clogging. However, the fault tree logic does not appear to recognize that failures of a certain number of EDGs by a mixture of clogging and non-clogging related failures would be at least as hard to recover as the same number of failures due to clogging. The analysis report is also unclear how the probabilities were derived for the basic events in Table 4 that represent combinations of EDG failures due to clogging. In particular, it appears that incorrectly derived conditional probabilities were used to calculate the probabilities for events EPS-DGN-CLOGG-1ADG, EPS-DGNCLOGG-2ADG, EPS-DGN-CLOGG-2BDG, EPS-DGN-CLOGG-3ADG, and EPS-DGNCLOGG-3BDG. The probability for EPS-DGN-CLOGG-4DG appears to be calculated correctly.
(3-b) A clearer way to build the logic would be to add independent clogging failure events to sub-fault trees EP-DGNA and EP-DGNB, then use rules to apply the proper recovery events for the various combinations of EDGs in the cutsets obtained. For all of the 19-xx sequences, which are SBO sequences involving failure of at least the two EDGs in unit 1, the recovery logic should recognize that at least two EDGs must be failed. (For all other LOSP sequences, only one EDG in unit 1 can be failed at a time, but the non-SBO LOOP sequences appear to add little to the results.) The logic for the additional clogging events in unit 2 could be constructed as follows.
(3-c) For independent clogging events with probabilities of 0.5 for each unit 1 EDG and 0.25 for each unit 2 EDG, the probabilities for the possible clogging failure combinations are:

For all of the cases where there is only one failure (by clogging) in unit 1, there is a conditional probability of [0.1835 / 0.5 =]
0.367 that there will also be one EDG failed in unit 2 by clogging and a probability of
[0.03125 / 0.5 =] 0.0625 that there will also be two EDGs failed in unit 2 by clogging. The same thing can be done without the table by using the mathematical expressions for the conditions, but the table is a good means of assuring that parts of the solution are not overlooked.
For cases where both EDGs in unit 1 have failed due to clogging, the conditional probability for one unit 2 EDG to be failed by clogging is [0.09375 / 0.25 =] 0.375 and the conditional probability for both unit 2 EDGs to be failed by clogging is [0.015625 / 0.25 =]
0.0625.
(3-d)As discussed in comment 2, cutsets where unit 1 EDG A has failed by a mechanism other than clogging precludes clogging events in the other EDGs, so no special clogging recovery probabilities are needed for those cutsets.
(3-e) For cases where unit 1 EDG A has failed by clogging, and unit 1 EDG B has failed by some mechanism other than clogging (i.e., failed to start, failed to run, or unavailable due to test and maintenance), it is not determined whether unit 1 EDG B would have failed by clogging if it had not failed first due to another cause. The probability that it would have failed by clogging if it had not failed by the other failure event in the cutset is the same clogging failure probability, because the degree of clogging is independent of whether the EDG is running. So, the conditional probabilities for failure of unit 2 EDGs are based on all of the combinations where unit 1 EDG has not failed. For one EDG failed in unit 2, the conditional probability is [0.1875 / 0.5 =] 0.375, and for both unit 2 EDGs clogged, the conditional probability is [0.03125 / 0.5 =] 0.0625.
IR No: 50-315/01-17, 50-316/01-17 & LER 316/01-003 SENSITIVE - NOT FOR PUBLIC DISCLOSURE B-4 (3-f) Similarly, non-SBO cutsets involving success of unit 1 EDG A and failure of EDG B by other means involve the other half of all of the combinations, where unit 1 EDG A has not failed. Those cutsets have a conditional probability of [0.1875 / 0.5 =] 0.375 for failure of one EDG in unit 2, and a conditional probability of [0.03125 / 0.5 =] 0.0625 for failure of both EDGs in unit 2. However, non-SBO cutsets are expected to contribute little to the result. Cutsets involving no EDG failures in unit 1 would not contribute to the CDP for the ASP analysis of the clogging condition.
(3-g) Because the recoveries of clogged unit 1 EDGs depend on the number of EDGs available in both units, failure of unit 2 EDGs by mechanisms other than clogging should also be considered. So, the conditional failure of one unit 2 EDG should be increased by the FR, FS and TM probabilities for both EDG 2A and EDG 2B. These increases should be calculated probabilistically to assure that only one unit 2 EDG is failed, so the products of the independent failures need to be subtracted from the total. Specifically, for P2A-total = P2A-clog + (P2A-FS +P2A-FR + P2A-TM) - P2A-clog x P2A-FR and P2B-total = P2B-clog + (P2B-FS +P2B-FR + P2B-TM) - P2B-clog x P2B-FR, the probability of the conditions with only one unit 2 EDG being failed is P2A-total x (1 - P2B-total) + P2B-total x ( 1 - P2A-total) - P2A-total x P2B-total.
(This assumes that the usual PRA basic events have probabilities that were already derived in a manner to make them independent.)
Similarly, the conditional failure probabilities for two unit 2 EDGs would be increased by the (other than clogging) common-cause failure probabilities for the unit 2 EDGs as well as by the appropriate combinations of independent failures by FR, FS and TM.
(3-h)The resulting conditional probabilities can be used to construct appropriate non-recovery probabilities for the clogged EDGs in unit 1, which can then be applied to the appropriate cutsets by rules. For example, the combined non-recovery probability for application to SBO cutsets can use the knowledge that both unit 1 EDGs must be failed for those cutsets. The issue is to apportion the non-recovery probability properly for cases where two, one and no unit 2 EDGs are also failed. Those conditional probabilities have been calculated such that they are mutually exclusive, so they can simply be used to weight the non-recovery probabilities that are calculated for the availability of specific numbers of EDGs. The calculation is further simplified by the fact that the non-recovery probability is the same for cases with 2 and 3 EDGs not available. So the effective non-recovery probability for the SBO cutsets becomes P[all l 2 in unit 1] x NRall!failed +(1 - CP[all l 2 in unit 1]) x NR2 or 3 failed. As discussed above, the cutsets with two EDG clogging basic events would use one value of P[all l 2 in unit 1] and the cutsets with EDG 1A clogged and EDG 1B failed by a different mechanism would use another value. (Cutsets with EDG1B clogged and EDG1A failed by another mechanism would be eliminated because EDG1A powers the ESW pump with the failed strainer.)
(3-i) Similar logic can be used to calculate the appropriate non-recovery value for the non-SBO cutsets. For those cases, only one EDG in unit 1 can be failed (otherwise, it would be an SBO cutset), so the computation involves only the non-recovery values NR1!failed and NR2!or!3!failed. Also, because the EP-DGNx fault trees in the basic model contain the non-

Response: (3-a) The fault tree logic addresses failures in all EDGs including those in the opposite unit. The fault tree takes into account the failures of the different combinations both the clogging and non-clogging mechanisms. It also recognizes that if the essential service water 1E fails due to random failure, there is no clogging. In the case when there is a mixture of failures due to clogging and non-clogging (random failure), we do not believe that the HRA methodology is sufficiently precise to establish failure probabilities which would discriminate between the clogging or mixture of clogging and non-clogging failures.
(3-b) The independent clogging and non clogging failures are built in the fault tree logic.
This includes failures of EDGs due to cross-tie in service water. However, it should be noted that the failures just due to non-clogging are not significant with respect to clogging and mixture of clogging and non-clogging. The logic that built into the fault trees, will eliminate non-logical cutsets ( i.e., random failure of service water pump 1E and failure of the other diesels due to clogging)
(3-c) The probabilities for different combinations of EDG failures in the ASP analysis are derived from fault trees. These probabilities are the same or very close to those that are derived by NRR. (see Appendix A) (The number 0.1835 does not match with the table that provided by NRR).
(3-d) As discussed previously, eliminates non-logical cutsets for the case when EDG 1AB fails by a mechanism other than clogging. In these cases recovery action is not included.
(3-e) See response to comment (3-c)
(3-f) We agree that the non-SBO cutsets contribute only a little to results. Our GEM output shows this.
(3-g) The failure of unit 2 EDGs by mechanisms other than clogging are considered (fail to run, TM,...) In the ASP analysis. These cutsets are shown in GEM output. The fault trees logic includes all failure mechanisms of EDGs, i.e., fail to run, fail to start, common cause failures, and test and maintenance.
(3-h) Agree. The fault tree logic addresses these concerns and the fault tree logic eliminates all non-logical cutsets when pump 1E fails by other mechanism like fail to start,
run and test and maintenance, since no clogging is possible.
(3-I) Agree. In the Asp analysis, the recovery values are dependent on whether there is one EDG failure, two or three EDG failures, or failure of all four EDGs. The analysis uses the same HEP for cases where 2 or 3 EDG failures.
DSSA/NRR Comment 4: Recently, the SDP notebook for Cook was modified to reflect a finding made during the SDP notebook/SPAR benchmarking site visit conducted in July,
IR No: 50-315/01-17, 50-316/01-17 & LER 316/01-003 SENSITIVE - NOT FOR PUBLIC DISCLOSURE B-6 2002. The licensee already had this logic in the plant PRA to reflect the plant procedures.
These procedures involve restart of the CCW pumps following Station Blackout. Copies of the notebook pages and licensees PRA pages are attached. Also, the operators are instructed per EOP step 7 (ECA 0.0 Loss of All AC Power) to "pull to lockout:
MDAFPs CCPs RHR pumps SI pumps CTS pumps CCW pumps NON running NESW pumps" Operators must manually restart CCW following recovery of AC power. It is not clear if the most recent SPAR model has been revised to reflect this information. The CCW issue is important in the model because it makes the recovered station blackout sequences more risk significant by reflecting an additional failure mode for HPI / HPR. Those sequences are important to both CDF and LERF.
Response: Agree. The Version 3.01 of the D.C. Cook SPAR model reflects your comments. This is the version used in the ASP analysis.
DSSA/NRR Comment 5: Although not pertinent to the dual-LOOP sequences that are evaluated for this ASP analysis, the following comment applicable to single-unit-LOOP sequences is provided because the licensees analysis for this event has substantial contributions from single-unit-LOOP initiators. During a July 11, 2003 telecon with the licensee regarding a potential emergency technical specification amendment (failure of Unit 2 EDG 2CD), the OST discussed potential use of the CVCS cross-tie during a single unit SBO. For a single unit SBO, use of the opposite/unaffected unit's CVCS cross-tie for RCP seal LOCA prevention may be operationally inappropriate. Use of the CVCS cross-tie would require use of the unaffected unit's RWST which has approximately 2500 ppm boron and would result in a transient/shutdown of the unaffected unit through RCS boration. This has an accelerated affect during middle to end-of-life core conditions.
Shutdown of the operating unit may complicate power recovery to the unit experiencing the SBO. Based on this information, the SPAR 3i model may be non-conservative since CVCS cross-tie is credited for a single unit SBO (see Appendix F of the SPAR manual).
Response: Comment noted. This ASP did not analyze the single unit LOOP., since the risk of this scenario is relatively low due to the availability of cross-tie.
DSSA/NRR Comment 6: Because the strainer failure increased the core damage frequency for both units, the risk of a core damage accident in one or more units is a combination of the CDP values calculated for unit 1 and unit 2. However, because of the mixture of correlated (between the two units) and random events that create the two CDP values, it is not clear how to calculate the combination. However, the combination is clearly somewhere between the values obtained by treating them as totally random and completely correlated. For completely random CDPs, the combined result would be CDP1 + CDP2 - CDP1 x CDP2, which would be 3.1 x 10-6 for the values in the
IR No: 50-315/01-17, 50-316/01-17 & LER 316/01-003 SENSITIVE - NOT FOR PUBLIC DISCLOSURE B-7 current draft report. For completely correlated CDPs, the combined result would be only the higher of the two individual values, 1.6 x 10-6 Response: Agree. It should be noted that the ASP analysis reports individual unit CDPs.
