SUBJECT:
Response to Round 3 Request for Additional Information Adoption of National Fire Protection Association Standard NFPA-805 Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1 Docket No. 50-313 License No. DPR-51
Dear Sir or Madam:
By email dated January 12, 2016 (Reference 12), the NRC requested additional information associated with the Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy) request to amend the Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1 (ANO-1) Technical Specifications (TS) and licensing bases to comply with the requirements in 10 CFR 50.48(a), 10 CFR 50.48(c), and the guidance in Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.205, Risk-Informed Performance-Based Fire Protection for Existing Light-Water Nuclear Power Plants. The amendment request followed Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 04-02, Guidance for Implementing a Risk-Informed, Performance-Based Fire Protection Program under 10 CFR 50.48(c). This submittal described the methodology used to demonstrate compliance with, and transition to, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 805, and included regulatory evaluations, probabilistic risk assessment (PRA), change evaluations, proposed modifications for non-compliances, and supporting attachments.
The request for additional information (RAI) is associated with a previous RAI (Safe Shutdown Analysis (SSA) 11.01, Entergy response provided in Reference 10) regarding an inhibit circuit (i.e., a shorting switch) intended to be used to address the circuit failure modes identified in Information Notice (IN) 92-18, Potential for Loss of Remote Capability during a Control Room Fire (ML031200481), for several valves at ANO-1. In a conference call held with members of the NRC staff at 1300 CST on January 6, 2016, Entergy verbally committed to include a failure probability for the subject circuits in the ANO Fire PRA model similar to that performed by the Browns Ferry nuclear facility and accepted in NRC Safety Evaluation Report dated October 28, 2015 (ML15212A796). The Entergy response to the RAI is included in Attachment 1 to this letter.
The information, as detailed in this letter, with respect to the original Entergy request (Reference 1) has been reviewed and Entergy has determined that the information does not invalidate the no significant hazards consideration included in the Reference 1 letter.

(Entergy) request to amend the Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1 (ANO-1) Technical Specifications (TS) and licensing bases to comply with the requirements in 10 CFR 50.48(a), 10 CFR 50.48(c), and the guidance in Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.205, Risk-Informed Performance-Based Fire Protection for Existing Light-Water Nuclear Power Plants.

In a conference call held with members of the NRC staff at 1300 CST on January 6, 2016, Entergy verbally committed to include a failure probability for the subject circuits in the ANO Fire PRA model similar to that performed by the Browns Ferry nuclear facility and accepted in NRC Safety Evaluation Report dated October 28, 2015 (ML15212A796). The Round 3 RAI is included below for convenience, followed by the Entergy response. The response includes a new commitment as stated in Attachment 2 of this letter.
SSA RAI 11.01 Response Clarification In its letter dated November 4, 2015, the licensee submitted a response to Safe Shutdown Analysis (SSA) request for additional information (RAI) 11.01. Specifically, the licensee provided an extensive qualitative explanation concluding that installation of an inhibit circuit (i.e.,
a shorting switch) addresses the circuit failure modes identified in Information Notice (IN) 92-18, Potential for Loss of Remote Capability during a Control Room Fire (ADAMS Accession No. ML031200481), for several valves at ANO-1. Based on the licensees response to SSA RAI 11.01, it appears that these shorting switches are credited with precluding spurious actuations of the IN 92-18 valves, and so fire-induced damage on DC control circuits located in the vicinity of cables having fusing greater than 10 amps of the inhibit circuits is not modeled in the Fire PRA.
The NRC staff cannot conclude that spurious actuations can be precluded without additional information. As an alternative to concluding that spurious actuation is precluded, spurious actuation need not be modelled if the risk is insignificant for both transition and post-transition risk evaluations (i.e., less than the self-approval risk guidelines); however, the NRC staff cannot reach this conclusion with the limited risk information provided by the licensee. Please provide a sensitivity study demonstrating that the risk impact of failing the protected valves is insignificant, or that the risk of the excluded scenarios in which a fire causes a spurious actuation and the inhibit switch fails is insignificant with regard to the plant change evaluations.

Response
Entergy determined during the original assessment of various fire-related station risks associated with the transition of the ANO-1 licensing basis to NFPA 805 that certain motor and air operated valves (MOVs and AOVs, respectively) could fail in an undesired state, resulting in station risk elevated sufficiently to warrant modification of the associated circuits. Subsequently, an inhibit circuit was designed and committed to in support of lowering overall station risk following transition to NFPA 805. As stated in the above RAI, Entergy has previously provided extensive qualitative discussion regarding the implementation of the subject inhibit circuits. The qualitative discussion was intended to indicate that failure of the inhibit circuit to meet its objective was not credible. However, the above RAI requires a risk-informed assessment to provide a quantitative justification in order to reinforce the previously submitted and related qualitative information.
In a conference call held with members of the NRC staff at 1300 CST on January 6, 2016, Entergy verbally committed to include a failure probability for the subject circuits in the ANO Fire PRA model, similar to that performed by the Browns Ferry nuclear facility and accepted in NRC Safety Evaluation Report (SER) dated October 28, 2015 (ML15212A796). Such modeling would be in lieu of the sensitivity study suggested by the RAI. In a letter dated March 14, 2014 (ML1479A159), the Browns Ferry nuclear facility provided the NRC information supporting the use of a 1E-03 failure probability assumption associated with the subject inhibit circuits. The NRC accepted the Browns Ferry application of the 1E-03 inhibit circuit failure probability in the aforementioned SER. The following discussion provides similar ANO-1 specific information supporting application of a failure probabilities in relation to the subject circuits.
While the subject control circuits for MOVs and AOVs may be affected by fire, the inhibit circuit (or shorting switch), associated conductors, and actuated device are required to undergo multiple failures to defeat this configuration (open circuit and hot short in limited locations). The inhibit circuit bonds the line-side of the actuation device of concern to the circuit return path (neutral or negative) and is assumed to maintain electrical continuity, preventing application of a sufficient voltage that can cause spurious operation via the shorting switch, thus allowing the intended function of the shorting switch to remain effective. Fire exposure in AC circuits is not postulated to cause open circuits as the primary failure mode. Typically, insulation is fully consumed before the copper conductor melts and potential target and source conductors would already be grounded, or the associated fuse/breaker would have cleared. Consequently, no credible hot shorts from either intracable or intercable interactions to other conductors also connected to the line-side of the actuation device are assumed to energize the actuation device because the source conductor is immediately shorted to the circuit return path.
The control circuits that utilize the shorting switch concept have cables routed in raceways for control voltage circuits that are nominally 120 VAC, 125 VDC, or less. This protects target cables from higher energy AC circuits, although the cables will still be exposed to DC cables that have been shown in some tested instances to aggressively arc when fused at greater than 10 amps (reference NUREG/CR-7100, "Direct Current Electrical Shorting in Response to Exposure Fire). A postulated failure mode where aggressive electrical arcing from a source DC circuit causes collateral damage to the target cable resulting in an open circuit of the shorting switch conductors and failure of the shorting switch function is considered. Any hot short that could cause spurious actuation of the subject MOV or AOV would need to occur subsequent to this postulated failure that melts open the inhibit circuit conductor. ANO-1 raceways can contain cables for DC circuits; therefore, a probability of 1E-03 is proposed to model the likelihood that a to 1CAN011601 Page 3 of 8 cable containing shorting switch conductors is located next to a DC circuit cable capable of generating an arc that causes collateral damage and potential open circuit of the shorting switch conductors. Although there is uncertainty associated with this probability, it bounds the likelihood that the cable containing shorting switch conductors is located next to a cable capable of generating the arc, that the arc would be generated when the cable is affected by a fire and results in an open circuit of the shorting conductors, and that after the open circuit occurs, a fire-induced short causes a spurious operation.
All of the shorting switches for both the MOV and the AOV control circuits will be in the Main Control Room panels located in Fire Area G. For a fire inside the Main Control Room panel where the shorting switch is located, the shorting switch will be assumed damaged before the fire induced hot short occurs on the modified circuit. Spurious hot short probabilities listed in NUREG/CR-7150, Joint Assessment of Cable Damage and Quantification of Effects from Fire (JACQUE-FIRE), will be credited for the modified circuits where the shorting switch is physically damaged by the fire inside the panel in lieu of the 1E-03 circuit failure probability (these probabilities will typically be higher than the 1E-03). As noted previously, insulation on the shorting switch conductor would have to be fully consumed before the copper conductor melts, or the terminal strips, shorting switch, or other devices in the shorting conduction path would have to be consumed/destroyed prior to potential target and source conductors shorting together.
The aggregate risk results of this modeling will be included in the final PRA results to be included in response to PRA RAI 03. This commitment is captured in Attachment 2 of this letter.
In Entergy letter dated November 4, 2015 (Reference 10), a complete list of items associated with the final response to PRA RAI 03 was included in response to PRA RAI 03.b.01. Because a new commitment is being added via this letter, the previous submitted list is copied below, with this new item added for completeness.

SUBJECT:
Response to Round 3 Request for Additional Information Adoption of National Fire Protection Association Standard NFPA-805 Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1 Docket No. 50-313 License No. DPR-51
Dear Sir or Madam:
By email dated January 12, 2016 (Reference 12), the NRC requested additional information associated with the Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy) request to amend the Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1 (ANO-1) Technical Specifications (TS) and licensing bases to comply with the requirements in 10 CFR 50.48(a), 10 CFR 50.48(c), and the guidance in Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.205, Risk-Informed Performance-Based Fire Protection for Existing Light-Water Nuclear Power Plants. The amendment request followed Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 04-02, Guidance for Implementing a Risk-Informed, Performance-Based Fire Protection Program under 10 CFR 50.48(c). This submittal described the methodology used to demonstrate compliance with, and transition to, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 805, and included regulatory evaluations, probabilistic risk assessment (PRA), change evaluations, proposed modifications for non-compliances, and supporting attachments.
The request for additional information (RAI) is associated with a previous RAI (Safe Shutdown Analysis (SSA) 11.01, Entergy response provided in Reference 10) regarding an inhibit circuit (i.e., a shorting switch) intended to be used to address the circuit failure modes identified in Information Notice (IN) 92-18, Potential for Loss of Remote Capability during a Control Room Fire (ML031200481), for several valves at ANO-1. In a conference call held with members of the NRC staff at 1300 CST on January 6, 2016, Entergy verbally committed to include a failure probability for the subject circuits in the ANO Fire PRA model similar to that performed by the Browns Ferry nuclear facility and accepted in NRC Safety Evaluation Report dated October 28, 2015 (ML15212A796). The Entergy response to the RAI is included in Attachment 1 to this letter.
The information, as detailed in this letter, with respect to the original Entergy request (Reference 1) has been reviewed and Entergy has determined that the information does not invalidate the no significant hazards consideration included in the Reference 1 letter.

(Entergy) request to amend the Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1 (ANO-1) Technical Specifications (TS) and licensing bases to comply with the requirements in 10 CFR 50.48(a), 10 CFR 50.48(c), and the guidance in Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.205, Risk-Informed Performance-Based Fire Protection for Existing Light-Water Nuclear Power Plants. The amendment request followed Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 04-02, Guidance for Implementing a Risk-Informed, Performance-Based Fire Protection Program under 10 CFR 50.48(c). This submittal described the methodology used to demonstrate compliance with, and transition to, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 805, and included regulatory evaluations, probabilistic risk assessment (PRA), change evaluations, proposed modifications for non-compliances, and supporting attachments.
In a conference call held with members of the NRC staff at 1300 CST on January 6, 2016, Entergy verbally committed to include a failure probability for the subject circuits in the ANO Fire PRA model similar to that performed by the Browns Ferry nuclear facility and accepted in NRC Safety Evaluation Report dated October 28, 2015 (ML15212A796). The Round 3 RAI is included below for convenience, followed by the Entergy response. The response includes a new commitment as stated in Attachment 2 of this letter.
SSA RAI 11.01 Response Clarification In its letter dated November 4, 2015, the licensee submitted a response to Safe Shutdown Analysis (SSA) request for additional information (RAI) 11.01. Specifically, the licensee provided an extensive qualitative explanation concluding that installation of an inhibit circuit (i.e.,
a shorting switch) addresses the circuit failure modes identified in Information Notice (IN) 92-18, Potential for Loss of Remote Capability during a Control Room Fire (ADAMS Accession No. ML031200481), for several valves at ANO-1. Based on the licensees response to SSA RAI 11.01, it appears that these shorting switches are credited with precluding spurious actuations of the IN 92-18 valves, and so fire-induced damage on DC control circuits located in the vicinity of cables having fusing greater than 10 amps of the inhibit circuits is not modeled in the Fire PRA.
The NRC staff cannot conclude that spurious actuations can be precluded without additional information. As an alternative to concluding that spurious actuation is precluded, spurious actuation need not be modelled if the risk is insignificant for both transition and post-transition risk evaluations (i.e., less than the self-approval risk guidelines); however, the NRC staff cannot reach this conclusion with the limited risk information provided by the licensee. Please provide a sensitivity study demonstrating that the risk impact of failing the protected valves is insignificant, or that the risk of the excluded scenarios in which a fire causes a spurious actuation and the inhibit switch fails is insignificant with regard to the plant change evaluations.

Response
Entergy determined during the original assessment of various fire-related station risks associated with the transition of the ANO-1 licensing basis to NFPA 805 that certain motor and air operated valves (MOVs and AOVs, respectively) could fail in an undesired state, resulting in station risk elevated sufficiently to warrant modification of the associated circuits. Subsequently, an inhibit circuit was designed and committed to in support of lowering overall station risk following transition to NFPA 805. As stated in the above RAI, Entergy has previously provided extensive qualitative discussion regarding the implementation of the subject inhibit circuits. The qualitative discussion was intended to indicate that failure of the inhibit circuit to meet its objective was not credible. However, the above RAI requires a risk-informed assessment to provide a quantitative justification in order to reinforce the previously submitted and related qualitative information.
In a conference call held with members of the NRC staff at 1300 CST on January 6, 2016, Entergy verbally committed to include a failure probability for the subject circuits in the ANO Fire PRA model, similar to that performed by the Browns Ferry nuclear facility and accepted in NRC Safety Evaluation Report (SER) dated October 28, 2015 (ML15212A796). Such modeling would be in lieu of the sensitivity study suggested by the RAI. In a letter dated March 14, 2014 (ML1479A159), the Browns Ferry nuclear facility provided the NRC information supporting the use of a 1E-03 failure probability assumption associated with the subject inhibit circuits. The NRC accepted the Browns Ferry application of the 1E-03 inhibit circuit failure probability in the aforementioned SER. The following discussion provides similar ANO-1 specific information supporting application of a failure probabilities in relation to the subject circuits.
While the subject control circuits for MOVs and AOVs may be affected by fire, the inhibit circuit (or shorting switch), associated conductors, and actuated device are required to undergo multiple failures to defeat this configuration (open circuit and hot short in limited locations). The inhibit circuit bonds the line-side of the actuation device of concern to the circuit return path (neutral or negative) and is assumed to maintain electrical continuity, preventing application of a sufficient voltage that can cause spurious operation via the shorting switch, thus allowing the intended function of the shorting switch to remain effective. Fire exposure in AC circuits is not postulated to cause open circuits as the primary failure mode. Typically, insulation is fully consumed before the copper conductor melts and potential target and source conductors would already be grounded, or the associated fuse/breaker would have cleared. Consequently, no credible hot shorts from either intracable or intercable interactions to other conductors also connected to the line-side of the actuation device are assumed to energize the actuation device because the source conductor is immediately shorted to the circuit return path.
The control circuits that utilize the shorting switch concept have cables routed in raceways for control voltage circuits that are nominally 120 VAC, 125 VDC, or less. This protects target cables from higher energy AC circuits, although the cables will still be exposed to DC cables that have been shown in some tested instances to aggressively arc when fused at greater than 10 amps (reference NUREG/CR-7100, "Direct Current Electrical Shorting in Response to Exposure Fire). A postulated failure mode where aggressive electrical arcing from a source DC circuit causes collateral damage to the target cable resulting in an open circuit of the shorting switch conductors and failure of the shorting switch function is considered. Any hot short that could cause spurious actuation of the subject MOV or AOV would need to occur subsequent to this postulated failure that melts open the inhibit circuit conductor. ANO-1 raceways can contain cables for DC circuits; therefore, a probability of 1E-03 is proposed to model the likelihood that a to 1CAN011601 Page 3 of 8 cable containing shorting switch conductors is located next to a DC circuit cable capable of generating an arc that causes collateral damage and potential open circuit of the shorting switch conductors. Although there is uncertainty associated with this probability, it bounds the likelihood that the cable containing shorting switch conductors is located next to a cable capable of generating the arc, that the arc would be generated when the cable is affected by a fire and results in an open circuit of the shorting conductors, and that after the open circuit occurs, a fire-induced short causes a spurious operation.
All of the shorting switches for both the MOV and the AOV control circuits will be in the Main Control Room panels located in Fire Area G. For a fire inside the Main Control Room panel where the shorting switch is located, the shorting switch will be assumed damaged before the fire induced hot short occurs on the modified circuit. Spurious hot short probabilities listed in NUREG/CR-7150, Joint Assessment of Cable Damage and Quantification of Effects from Fire (JACQUE-FIRE), will be credited for the modified circuits where the shorting switch is physically damaged by the fire inside the panel in lieu of the 1E-03 circuit failure probability (these probabilities will typically be higher than the 1E-03). As noted previously, insulation on the shorting switch conductor would have to be fully consumed before the copper conductor melts, or the terminal strips, shorting switch, or other devices in the shorting conduction path would have to be consumed/destroyed prior to potential target and source conductors shorting together.
The aggregate risk results of this modeling will be included in the final PRA results to be included in response to PRA RAI 03. This commitment is captured in Attachment 2 of this letter.
In Entergy letter dated November 4, 2015 (Reference 10), a complete list of items associated with the final response to PRA RAI 03 was included in response to PRA RAI 03.b.01. Because a new commitment is being added via this letter, the previous submitted list is copied below, with this new item added for completeness.
