Ladies and Gentlemen:

On June 6, 2013, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued an order (i.e., Reference 1) to Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), Unit Nos. 1 and 2. Reference 1 was immediately effective and directs all boiling water reactors (BWRs) with Mark I and Mark II containments to take certain actions to ensure that these facilities have a hardened containment venting system (HCVS) to support strategies for controlling containment pressure and preventing core damage following an event that causes a loss of heat removal systems, such as an Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP), while ensuring the venting functions are also available during severe accident (SA) conditions. BSEP, Unit Nos. 1 and 2, have Mark I containments. Specific requirements are outlined in Attachment 2 of Reference 1.

Reference 1 requires submission of an Overall Integrated Plan (OIP) by June 30, 2014, for Phase 1 of the Order, and an OIP by December 31, 2015, for Phase 2 of the Order. The interim staff guidance (i.e., References 2 and 3) provides direction regarding the content of the OIP for Phase 1 and Phase 2. Reference 3 endorses industry guidance document NEI 13-02, Revision 1 (i.e., Reference 4), with clarifications and exceptions identified in Reference 3. Reference 5 provided the Duke Energy initial status report regarding reliable hardened containment vents capable of operation under severe accident conditions. Reference 6 provided the BSEP, Units 1 and 2, Phase 10OIP. References 7 and 8 provided the first and second six month status reports pursuant to Section IV, Condition D.3 of Reference 1 for BSEP, Units 1 and 2.

The purpose of this letter is to provide both the third six month update for Phase 1 of the Order pursuant to Section IV, Condition 0.3, of Reference 1, and the OIP for Phase 2 of the Order pursuant to Section IV, Condition D.2 of Reference 1, for BSEP, Units 1 and 2. The third six month update for Phase 1 of the Order is incorporated into the HCVS Phase 1 and Phase 20OIP document, which provides a complete updated Phase 10OIP, a list of the Phase 10OIP open items, and addresses the NRC Interim Staff Evaluation open items for Phase 1 contained in

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 3 of 4 Reference 9. Future six month status reports will provide the updates for both Phase 1 and Phase 20OIP implementation in a single status report.

This letter contains no new regulatory commitments.

If you have any questions regarding this submittal, please contact Mr. Lee Grzeck, Manager - Regulatory Affairs, at (910) 457-2487.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

Executed on December 11, 2015.

Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), Unit Nos. 1 and 2 Hardened Containment Venting System (HCVS) Phase 1 and 2 Overall Integrated Plan - December 2015 Introduction In 1989, the NRC issued Generic Letter 89-16, "Installation of a Hardened Wetwell Vent," to all licensees of BWRs with Mark I containments to encourage licensees to voluntarily install a hardened wetwell vent.

In response, licensees installed a hardened vent pipe from the suppression pool to some point outside the secondary containment envelope (usually outside the reactor building). Some licensees also installed a hardened vent branch line from the drywell.

On March 19, 2013, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Commissioners directed the staff per Staff Requirements Memorandum (SRM) for SECY-12-0157 to require licensees with Mark I and Mark II containments to "upgrade or replace the reliable hardened vents required by Order EA-12-050 with a containment venting system designed and installed to remain functional during severe accident conditions." In response, the NRC issued Order EA-13-109, Issuance of Order to Modify Licenses with Regard to Reliable Hardened Containment Vents Capable of Operation Under Severe Accident Conditions, on June 6, 2013. The Order (EA-13-109) requires that licensees of BWR facilities with Mark I and Mark II containment designs ensure that these facilities have a reliable hardened vent to remove decay heat from the containment, and maintain control of containment pressure within acceptable limits following events that result in the loss of active containment heat removal capability while maintaining the capability to operate under severe accident (SA) conditions resulting from an Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP).

The Order requirements are applied in a phased approach where:

  • "Phase 1 involves upgrading the venting capabilities from the containment wetwell to provide reliable, severe accident capable hhrdened vents to assist in preventing core damage and, if necessary, to provide venting capability during severe accident conditions." (Completed "no later than startup from the second refueling outage that begins after June 30, 2014, or June 30, 2018, whichever comes first.")
  • "Phase 2 involves providing additional protections for severe accident conditions through installation of a reliable, severe accident capable drywell vent system or the development of a reliable containment venting strategy that makes it unlikely that a licensee would need to vent from the containment drywell during severe accident conditions." (Completed "no later than startup from the first refueling outage that begins after June 30, 2017, or June 30, 2019, whichever comes first.")

The NRC provided an acceptable approach for complying with Order EA-13-109 through Interim Staff Guidance (JLD-ISG-2013-02 issued in November 2013 and JLD-ISG-2015-01 issued in April 2015). The ISG endorses the compliance approach presented in NEI 13-02, Revision 0 and 1, Industry Guidancefor Compliance with Order EA-13-1 09, BWR Mark I & II Reliable Hardened Containment Vents Capable of Operation Under Severe Accident Conditions, with clarifications. Except in those cases in which a licensee proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with Order EA-13-109, the NRC staff will use the methods described in the ISGs to evaluate licensee compliance as presented in submittals required in Order EA- 13-109.

The Order also requires submittal of an overall integrated plan which will provide a description of how the requirements of the Order will be achieved. This document provides the Overall Integrated Plan (OIP) for complying with Order EA-13-109 using the methods described in NEI 13-02 and endorsed by NRC JLD-ISG-2013-02 and JLD-ISG-2015-01. Six month progress reports will be provided consistent with the requirements of Order EA13-109. The submittals required are:

  • OIP for Phase 1 of EA-13-109 was required to be submitted by Licensees to the NRC by June 30, 2014. The NRC requires periodic (6 month) updates for the HCVS actions being taken. The first update for Phase 1, was due December 2014, with the second due June 2015.

Page 2 of 58

Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), Unit Nos. 1 and 2 Hardened Containment Venting System (HCVS) Phase 1 and 2 Overall Integrated Plan - December 2015

  • OIP for Phase 2 of EA-13-109 is required to be submitted by Licensees to the NRC by December 31, 2015. It is expected the December 2015 six month update for Phase 1 will be combined with the Phase 20GIP submittal by means of a combined Phase 1 and 20ITP.
  • Thereafter, the 6 month updates will be for both the Phase 1 and Phase 2 actions until complete, consistent with the requirements of Order EA-13-109.

The Plant venting actions for the EA-13-109, Phase 1 severe accident capable venting scenario can be summarized by the following:

  • The HCVS will be initiated via manual action from the either the Main Control Room (MCR) or from a Remote Operating Station (ROS) at the appropriate time based on procedural guidance in response to plant conditions from observed or derived symptoms.
  • The vent will utilize Containment Parameters of Pressure and Level from the MCR instrumentation to monitor effectiveness of the venting actions.
  • The vent operation will be monitored by HCVS valve position, temperature, and effluent radiation levels.
  • The HCVS motive force will be monitored and have the capacity to operate for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> with installed equipment. Replenishment of the motive force will be by use of portable equipment once the installed motive force is exhausted.
  • Venting actions will be capable of being maintained for a sustained period of up to 7 days or a shorter time if justified.

The Phase 2 actions can be summarized as follows:

  • Utilization of Severe Accident Water Management (SAWM/) to control injection and Suppression Pool level to ensure the HCVS (Phase 1) wetwell vent (SAWV) will remain functional for the removal of decay heat from containment.
  • Ensure that the decay heat can be removed from the containment for seven (7) days using the HCVS or describe the alternate method(s) to remove decay heat from the containment from the time the HCVS is no longer functional until alternate means of decay heat removal are established that make it unlikely the drywell vent will be required for DW pressure control.
  • The SAWA and SAWM actions will be manually activated and controlled from areas that are accessible during severe accident conditions.
  • Parameters measured should be Drywell pressure, Suppression Pool level, SAWA flowrate and the HCVS parameters listed above.
  • Alternatively SAWA and a Severe Accident Capable Drywell Vent (SADV) strategy may be implemented to meet Phase 2 of Order EA-13-109.

Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), Unit Nos. 1 and 2 Hardened Containment Venting System (HCVS) Phase 1 and 2 Overall Integrated Plan - December 2015 Part 1: General Integrated Plan Elements and Assumptions Extent to which the guidance, JLD-ISG-2013-02, JLD-ISG-2015-01 and NET 13-02 (Revision 1), are being followed. Identify any deviations.

Include a description of any alternatives to the guidance. A technicaljustification and basisfor the alternative needs to be provided. This will likely require a pre-meeting with the NRC to review the alternative.

Ref: JLD-ISG-2013-02, JLD-ISG-2015-01 Compliance will be attained for Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP) with no known deviations to the guidelines in JLD-ISG-2013-02, JLD-ISG-2015-01 and NEl 13-02 for each phase as follows:

  • The Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) will be comprised of installed and portable equipment and operating guidance:
  • Severe Accident Wetwell Vent (SAWV) - Permanently installed vent from the Unit Suppression Pool to the top of the Unit Reactor Building
  • Severe Accident Water Addition (SAWA) - A combination of permanently installed and portable equipment to provide a means to add water to the RPV following a severe accident and monitor system and plant conditions.
  • Severe Accident Water Management (SAWM) strategies and guidance for controlling the water addition to
  • the RPV for the sustained operating period. (reference attachment 2.1 .C)
  • Phase 1 (wetwell): by the startup from the second refueling outage that begins after June 30, 2014, or June 30, 2018, whichever comes first. Currently scheduled for JIs quarterof 2018 for Unit 1 and 1 Mt quarterof 2017for Unit 2.
  • Phase 2 (alternate strategy): by the startup from the first refueling outage that begins after June 30, 2017 or June 30, 2019, whichever comes first. Currently scheduled for jst quarter of 2018 for Unit 1 and j*t quarter of 2019 for Unit 2.

BSEP is taking no alternative approaches to the guidelines in JLD-ISG-2013-02 and JLD-ISG-2015-01.

If deviations are identified at a later date, then the deviations will be communicated in a future 6 month update following identification.

Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), Unit Nos. 1 and 2 Hardened Containment Venting System (HCVS) Phase 1 and 2 Overall Integrated Plan - December 2015 Part 1: General Integrated Plan Elements and Assumptions Key Site assumptions to implement NET 13-02 HCVS, Phase 1 and 2 Actions.

Provide key assumptions associatedwith implementation of HCVS Phase 1 and Phase 2 Actions Ref: NET 13-02, Revision 1, Section 2 NET 12-06 Revision 0 Mark 1111 Generic EA-13-109 Phase 1 and Phase 2 Related Assumptions:

Applicable EA- 12-049 assumptions:

049-1. Assumed initial plant conditions are as identified in NEI 12-06 section 3.2.1.2 items 1 and 2.

049-2. Assumed initial conditions are as identified in NET 12-06 section 3.2.1.3 items 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8 049-3. Assumed reactor transient boundary conditions are as identified in NET 12-06 section 3.2.1.4 items 1, 2, 3 and 4 049-4. No additional events or failures are assumed to occur immediately prior to or during the event, including security events except for failure of RCIC or HPCI. (Reference NEl 12-06 3.2.1.3 item 9) 049-5. At Time=0 the event is initiated and all rods insert and no other event beyond a common site ELAP is occurring at any or all of the units. (NEJ 12-06, section 3.2.1.3 item 9 and 3.2.1.4 item 1-4) 049-6. At one hour an ELAP is declared and actions begin as defined in EA-12-049 compliance 049-7. DC power and distribution can be credited for the duration determined p~er the BA- 12-049 (FLEX) methodology for battery usage, 168 hours0.00194 days <br />0.0467 hours <br />2.777778e-4 weeks <br />6.3924e-5 months <br />. This assumption applies to the water addition capability under SAWA/SAWM.

The power supply scheme for the HCVS shall be in accordance with EA-13-109 and the applicable guidance.

(NET 12-06, section 3.2.1.3 item 8) 049-8. Deployment resources are assumed to begin arriving at hour 6 and fully staffed by 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> 049-9. All activities associated with plant specific EA-12-049 FLEX strategies that are not specific to implementation of the HCVS, including such items as debris removal, communication, notification, SEP level and makeup, security response, opening doors for cooling, and initiating conditions for the event, can be credited as previously evaluated for FLEX. (Refer to assumption 109-02 below for clarity on SAWA)(HC VS-FAQ-il)

Applicable EA-13-109 generic assumptions:

109-01. Site response activities associated with EA-13-109 actions are considered to have no access limitations associated with radiological impacts while RPV level is above 2/3 core height (core damage is not expected).

This is further addressed in HCVS-FAQ- 12 109-02. Portable equipment, can supplement the installed equipment after 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> provided the portable equipment credited meets the criteria applicable to the HCVS. An example is use of FLEX portable air supply equipment that is credited to recharge air lines for HCVS components after 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. The FLEX portable air supply used must be demonstrated to meet the "SA Capable" criteria that are defined in NET 13-02 Section 4.2.4.2 and Appendix D Section D.1.3. This assumption does not apply to Phase 2 SAWA/SAWM because SAWA equipment needs to be connected and placed in service within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> from the time of the loss of RPV injection. (reference HCVS-FAQ- 12) 109-03. SEP level is maintained with either on-site or off-site resources such that the SEP does not contribute to the analyzed source term (Reference HCVS-FAQ-07).

109-04. Existing containment components' design and testing values are governed by existing plant primary containment criteria (e.g., Appendix J) and are not subject to the testing criteria from NET 13-02 (reference HCVS-FAQ-05 and NEI 13-02 section 6.2.2).

109-05. Classical design basis evaluations and assumptions are not required when assessing the operation of the HCVS.

Page 5 of 58

Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), Unit Nos. 1 and 2 Hardened Containment Venting System (HCVS) Phase 1 and 2 Overall Integrated Plan - December 2015 Part 1: General Integrated Plan Elements and Assumptions The reason this is not required is that the order postulates an unsuccessful mitigation of an event such that an ELAP progresses to a severe accident with ex-vessel core debris which classical design basis evaluations are intended to prevent. (Reference NEI 13-02 section 2.3.1).

109-06. HCVS manual actions that require minimal operator steps and can be performed in the postulated thermal and radiological environment at the location of the step(s) (e.g., load stripping, control switch manipulation, valving-in nitrogen bottles) are acceptable to obtain HCVS venting dedicated functionality. (reference HCV-FAQ-01) This assumption does not apply to Phase 2 SAWA/SAWM because SAWA equipment needs to be connected and placed in service within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> from the time of the loss of RPV injection and will require more than minimal operator action.

109-07. HCVS dedicated equipment is defined as vent process elements that are required for the HCVS to function in an ELAP event that progresses to core melt ex-vessel. (reference HCVS-FAQ-02 and White Paper HCVS-WP-01).

This assumption does not apply to Phase 2 SAWAISAWM because SAWA equipment is not dedicated to HCVS but shared to support FLEX functions. This is further addressed in HCVS-FAQ-1 1.

109-08. Use of MAAP Version 4 or higher provides adequate assurance of the plant conditions (e.g., RPV water level, temperatures, etc.) assumed for Order EA-13-109 BDBEE and SA HCVS operation. (reference FLEX MAAP Endorsement ML13190A201) Additional analysis using RELAP5/MOD 3, GOTHIC, PCFLUD, LOCADOSE and SHIELD are acceptable methods for evaluating environmental conditions in areas of the plant provided the specific version utilized is documented in the analysis. MAAP Version 5 was used to develop EPRI Technical Report 3002003301 to support drywell temperature response to SAWA under severe accident conditions.

109-09. NRC Published Accident evaluations (e.g. SOARCA, SECY-12-0157, and NUREG 1465) as related to Order EA-13-109 conditions are acceptable as references. (Reference NEI 13-02 section 8).

109-10. Permanent modifications installed or planned per EA-12-049 are assumed implemented and may be credited for use in EA-13-109 Order response.

109-11. This Overall Integrated Plan is based on Emergency Operating Procedure changes consistent with EPG/SAGs Revision 3 as incorporated per the sites EOP/SAMG procedure change process. This assumption does not apply to Phase 2 SAWM because SAWM is not part of revision 3.(reference to Attachment 2.1.C for SAWMV SAMG Changes approved by the B'WROG Emergency Procedures Committee) 109-12. Under the postulated scenarios of Order EA-13-109 the Control Room is adequately protected from excessive radiation dose due to its distance and shielding from the reactor (per General Design Criterion (GDC) 19 in 10CFR50 Appendix A) and no further evaluation of its use as the preferred HCVS control location is required provided that the HCVS routing is a sufficient distance away from the MCR or is shielded to minimize impact to the MCR dose. In addition, adequate protective clothing and respiratory protection are available if required to address contamination issues. (reference HCVS-FAQ-01 and HCVS-FAQ-09) 109-13. The suppression pool/wetwell of a BWR Mark JllI containment is considered to be bounded by assuming a saturated environment for the duration of the event response because of the water/steam interactions.

109-14. RPV depressurization is directed by the EPGs in all cases prior to entry into the SAGs. (reference NEI 13-02 Rev 1, Section 1.1.3) 109-15 The Severe Accident impacts are assumed on one unit only due to the site compliance with NRC Order EA-12-049. However, each BWR Mk I and HI under the assumptions of NRC Order EA-13-109 ensure the capability to protect containment exists for each unit. (HC VS-FAQ-i) This is further addressed in HCVS-FAQ- 10.

HCVS Actions that have a time constraint to be successfttl should be identified with a technical basis and ajustification provided that the time can reasonably be met (for example, action to open vent valves).

HCVS Actions that have an environmental constraint (e.g. actions in areas of High Thermal stress or High Dose areas) should be evaluated per guidance.

[Open item #4]

Provide a sequence of events and identify any time or environmental constraint required for success including the basis for the constraint.

A timeline was developed to identify required operator response times and potential environmental constraints. This timeline is based upon the following three cases:

1. Case 1 is based upon the action response times developed for FLEX when utilizing anticipatory venting in a BDBEE without core damage.
2. Case 2 is based on a SECY-12-0 157 long term station blackout (LTSBO) (or ELAP) with failure of RCIC after a black start where failure occurs because of subjectively assuming over injection.
3. Case 3 is based on NUREG-1935 (SOARCA) results for a prolonged SBO (or ELAP) with the loss of RCIC case without black start.

The following is a discussion of time constraints identified in Attachment 2A for the 3 timeline cases identified above

  • Approximately 17 Hours: Initiate use of Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) per site procedures to maintain containment parameters below design limits.- The reliable operation of HCVS will be met because HCVS meets the seismic requirements identified in NEI 13-02 and will be powered by DC buses with motive force supplied to HCVS valves from installed backup nitrogen storage bottles via the N2 backup system. Critical HCVS controls and instruments associated with containment will be DC powered and operated from the MCR or a Remote Page 8 of 58

Use of instruments and supporting components with known operatingprinciples that are supplied by manufacturerswith commercial quality assuranceprograms, such as 1509001. The procurement specificationsshall include the seismic requirements and/or instrument design requirements, and specify the needfor commercial design standardsand testing under seismic loadings consistent with design basis values at the instrument locations.

Demonstrationof the seismic reliability of the instrumentation through methods that predictperformance by analysis, qualification testing under simulated seismic conditions, a combination of testing and analysis, or the use of experience data. Guidancefor these is based on sections 7, 8, 9, and 10 of lEEE Standard 344-2004, "IEEE Recommended Practice for Seismic Qualificationof Class 1E Equipment for Nuclear Power Generating Stations," or a substantially similar industrial standardcould be used.

Demonstration that the instrumentation is substantiallysimilar in design to instrumentation that has been previously tested to seismic loading levels in accordancewith the plant design basis at the location where the instrument is to be installed (g-levels andfrequency ranges). Such testing and analysis should be similar to that performedfor the plant licensing basis.

Vent Size and Basis The HCVS wetwell path is designed for venting steam/energy at a nominal capacity of 1% or greater of 2923 MWt thermal power (Current Licensed Thermal Power) at a pressure of 62 psig. This pressure is the lower of the containment design pressure (62 psig) and the PCPL value (70 psig). The size of the existing wetwell portion of the HCVS is

> 8 inches in diameter. The vent has adequate capacity to meet or exceed the Order criteria at the containment design pressure (62 psig). [Open item #9].

Vent Capacity The 1% value at BSEP assumes that the suppression pool pressure suppression capacity is sufficient to absorb the decay heat generated during the first 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br />. The vent would then be able to prevent containment pressure from increasing above the containment design pressure. As part of the detailed design, the duration of suppression pool decay heat absorption capability will be confirmed. [Open item #6]

Vent Path and Discharge The existing HCVS vent path at BSEP consists of a wetwell vent on each unit. The wetwell vent exits the Primary Containment through the wetwell purge exhaust piping and associated inboard wetwell purge exhaust valve. Between the inboard and outboard wetwell purge exhaust valves, the wetwell vent isolation valve is installed. Downstream of the wetwell vent isolation valve, the vent piping exits the Reactor Building through the west wall and into the space between the Reactor Building and Turbine Building. The vent traverses up the exterior of the building and re-enters the Reactor Building through the metal siding on the refuel floor, then rises along the west side where it exits the Reactor Building through the roof. All effluents are exhausted above each unit's Reactor Building.

The HCVS discharge path will be routed to a point above any adjacent structure. This discharge point is just above that unit's Reactor Building such that the release point will vent away from emergency ventilation system intake and exhaust openings, main control room location, location of HCVS portable equipment, access routes required following a ELAP and BDBEE, and emergency response facilities; however, these must be considered in conjunctions with other design criteria (e.g. flow capacity) and pipe routing limitations, to the degree practical.

Missile protection from external events as defined by NEI 12-06 for the vent pipe has been evaluated and found to be acceptable. (Ref. HCVS-FAQ-04; HCVS-WP-04) [Open item #1; ISE Open item #7]

Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), Unit Nos. 1 and 2 Hardened Containment Venting System (HCVS) Phase 1 and 2 Overall Integrated Plan - December 2015 Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent Instruments that require 24VDC input will receive it directly from the battery through an HCVS transfer switch. HCVS loads that require 120VAC power will receive it from an HCVS 48VDC to 120VAC inverter fed from the unit's 24/48VDC battery. All electrical components are located in the mild environment of the Control Building on either the 23' or 49' level and are seismically qualified. The 24/48VDC battery has the capacity to power these loads for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> without recharging. After 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> the FLEX DGs will re-power the 24/48VDC battery chargers for sustained operation.

Pneumatic power is normally provided by the non-interruptible instrument air system (for the Reactor Building) and the pneumatic nitrogen system (for the Drywell) with backup nitrogen provided from the safety-related nitrogen backup system. Following an ELAP event, and the loss of non-interruptible instrument air and pneumatic nitrogen, the nitrogen backup system automatically provides operating pneumatics to the SRV accumulators and hardened wetwell vent valves.

Therefore, for the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> post-ELAP initiation, pneumatic force will be supplied from the existing nitrogen backup system bottle racks located on the EL. 50'-0" of the Reactor Building. These installed bottles will supply the required motive force to those HCVS valves needed to maintain flow through the HCVS effluent piping.

1. The HCVS flow path valves are air-operated valves (AOV) with air-to-open and spring-to-close actuators. Opening the valves from the primary control station requires energizing an AC-powered solenoid-operated valve (SOV) and providing motive air/gas. The systems described above will provide a permanently installed power source and motive air/gas supply adequate for the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. Beyond the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, FLEX DGs will be used to maintain battery power to the HCVS components. The initial stored motive air/gas will allow for a minimum of eight valve operating cycles for the HCVS valves for the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. Additional motive force will be supplied from the FLEX air compressor that will be located such that radiological impacts are not a concern. [Open item #7] The location' of the FLEX DGs, FLEX air compressors, and their connections will be evaluated as acceptable for use during a severe accident. [Open items #4 & #7]
2. The ROS will provide valves that supply pneumatics to the HCVS valve actuators so that these may be opened without power to the valve actuator solenoids. This will provide a diverse method of valve operation improving system reliability.
3. An assessment of temperature and radiological conditions will be performed to ensure that operating personnel can safely access and operate controls at the Remote Operating Station based on time constraints listed in Attachment 2A. [ISE Open item #10]
4. All permanently installed HCVS equipment, including any connections required to supplement the HCVS operation during an ELAP (i.e., electric power, N2/air) will be located in areas reasonably protected from defined hazards listed in Part 1 of this report.
5. All valves required to open the flow path are designed for remote manual operation following an ELAP, such that the primary means of valve manipulation does not rely on use of a hand wheel, reach-rod or similar means that requires close proximity to the valve (reference FAQ HCVS-03). Any supplemental connections will be pre-engineered to minimize man-power resources and address environmental concerns. Required portable equipment will be reasonably protected from screened in hazards listed in Part 1 of this OIP.
6. Access to the locations described above will not require temporary ladders or scaffolding.

Location of Control Panels The BSEP wetwell HCVS will allow initiating and then operating and monitoring the HCVS from a control panel located in the main control room (MCR) and will meet the requirements of Order element 1.2.4. The MCR functions as the normal control point for Plant Emergency Response actions and is a readily accessible location with no further evaluation required. Control Room dose associated with HCVS operation conforms to GDC 19/Alternative Source Term (AST).

Additionally, to meet the intent for a secondary control location of section 1.2.5 of the Order, a readily accessible alternate location, called the Remote Operating Station (ROS), will also be incorporated into the HCVS design as described in NEI 13-02 section 4.2.2.1.2.1. Means to manually operate the wetwell vent will be provided at the ROS.

Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), Unit Nos. 1 and 2 Hardened Containment Venting System (HCVS) Phase 1 and 2 Overall Integrated Plan - December 2015 Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent The planned location for the ROS is in the southeast corner of the RB 50'-0" for Unit 1, and the northeast corner of the RB 50'-0" elevation for Unit 2. The ROS will be located Within the RB, in an area shielded from the HCVS vent pipe, with a direct egress path to the MCR. Refer to the sketches provided in Attachment 3 for the BSEP site layout. The controls available at the ROS location will be accessible and functional under a range of plant conditions, including severe accident conditions with due consideration to source term and dose impact on operator exposure, extended loss of AC power (ELAP), inadequate containment cooling, and loss of reactor building ventilation. As part of the detailed design, an evaluation will be performed to verify accessibility to the location, habitability, staffing sufficiency, and communication capability with vent-use decision makers. [Open item #2]

Hydrogen As is required by EA-13-109, Section 1.2.11, the HCVS must be designed such that it is able to either provide assurance that oxygen cannot enter and mix with flammable gas in the HCVS (so as to form a combustible gas mixture), or it must be able to accommodate the dynamic loading resulting from a combustible gas detonation. Several configurations are available which will support the former (e.g., purge, mechanical isolation from outside air, etc.) or the latter (design of potentially affected portions of the system to withstand a detonation relative to pipe stress and support structures).

BSEP will install a check valve at the top of the HCVS pipe above the RB roof. This check valve will prevent air from being drawn back into the vent pipe after a venting evolution. In this manner, an explosive mixture is prevented from forming in the vent pipe. [Open item #3]

Unintended Cross Flow of Vented Fluids The HCVS utilizes Containment Atmospheric Control (CAC) system valves CAC'-V7 and CAC-V2 16 for containment isolation. CAC-V7 and CAC-V216 are AOVs and they are air-to-open and spring-to-shut. An SOy must be energized to allow the motive air to open the valve from the MCR location. CAC-V7 and CAC-V216 have a safety related function to maintain the containment pressure boundary during a design basis accident and are tested as required by 10CFR50, Appendix J. Although these valves are shared between the CAC and the HCVS, separate control circuits are provided to each valve. Specifically, the CAC control circuit will be used during all "design basis" operating modes including all design basis transients and accidents.

Cross flow potential exists between the HCVS and the Standby Gas Treatment System (SBGT). CAC system valves CAC-V8 and CAC-V172 function as boundary valves with the SBGT system. Valves CAC-V8 and V-172 are containment isolation valves with a safety related function to maintain the containment pressure boundary during a design basis accident. These valves are tested, and will continue to be tested, for leakage under 10CFR50 Appendix J as part of the containment boundary JAW HCVS-FAQ-05. See Sketch 1 of Attachment 3 for a P&ID diagram of the system. These valves therefore prevent cross-flow from the SAWV pipe to the SBGT system.

Prevention of Inadvertent Actuation EOP/ERG operating procedures provide guidance that the HCVS is not to be used to defeat containment integrity during any design basis transients and accident. In addition, the HCVS will be designed to provide features to prevent inadvertent actuation due to a design error, equipment malfunction, or operator error such that any credited containment accident pressure (CAP) that would provide net positive suction bead to the emergency core cooling system (ECCS) pumps will be available (inclusive of a design basis loss-of-coolant accident (DBLOCA)). As part of BSEP's 120 percent power uprate, a 5 psig credit for containment overpressure was established for evaluating low pressure ECCS pump NPSH (Ref. 38, Section 6.3.2.2.5). However the ECCS pumps will not have power available because of the starting boundary conditions of an ELAP.

  • The features that prevent inadvertent actuation are key lock switches at the primary control station and locked closed valves at the ROS. Procedures also provide clear guidance to not circumvent containment integrity by opening CAC purge exhaust and SAWV wetwell vent valves during any design basis transient or accident.

Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), Unit Nos. 1 and 2 Hardened Containment Venting System (HCVS) Phase 1 and 2 Overall Integrated Plan - December 2015 Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent The HCVS components downstream of the second containment isolation valve (and components that interface with the HCVS) that are not routed in seismically qualified structures will be designed for reliable and ragged performance that is capable of ensuring HCVS functionality following a seismic event. HCVS components that directly interface with the pressure boundary will be considered safety related, as the existing system is safety related. The containment system limits the leakage or release of radioactive materials to the environment to prevent offsite exposures from exceeding the guidelines of 10CFR100. During normal or design basis operations, this means serving as a pressure boundary to prevent release of radioactive material.

Likewise, any electrical or controls component which interfaces with Class 1E power sources will be considered safety related up to and including appropriate isolation devices such as fuses or breakers, as their failure could adversely impact containment isolation and/or a safety-related power source. The remaining components will be considered Augmented Quality. Newly installed piping and valves will be seismically qualified to handle the forces associated with the seismic margin earthquake (SME) back to their isolation boundaries. Electrical and controls components will be seismically qualified and will include the ability to handle harsh environmental conditions (although they will not be considered part of the site Environmental Qualification (EQ) program).

HCVS instrumentation performance (e.g., accuracy and precision) need not exceed that of similar plant installed equipment. Additionally, radiation monitoring instrumentation accuracy and range will be sufficient to confirm flow of radionuclides through the HCVS.

The HCVS instruments, including valve position indication, process instrumentation, radiation monitoring, and support system monitoring, will be qualified by using one or more of the three methods described in the ISG, which includes:

1. Purchase of instruments and supporting components with known operating principles from manufacturers with commercial quality assurance programs (e.g., ISO9001) where the procurement specifications include the applicable seismic requirements, design requirements, and applicable testing.
2. Demonstration of seismic reliability via methods that predict performance described in IEEE 344-1975
3. Demonstration that instrumentation is substantially similar to the design of instrumentation previously qualified.

Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), Unit Nos. 1 and 2 Hardened Containment Venting System (HCVS) Phase 1 and 2 Overall Integrated Plan - December 2015 Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent Monitoring of HCVS The BSEP wetwell HCVS will be capable of being manually operated during sustained operations from a control panel located in the main control room (MCR) and will meet the requirements of Order element 1.2.4. The MCR is a readily accessible location with no further evaluation required. Control Room dose associated with HCVS operation conforms to GDC 19/Altemnate Source Term (AST). Additionally, to meet the intent for a secondary control location of section 1.2.5 of the Order, a readily accessible Remote Operating Station (ROS) will also be incorporated into the HCVS design as described in NEI 13-02 section 4.2.2.1.2.1. The controls and indications at the ROS location will be accessible and functional under a range of plant conditions, including severe accident conditions with due consideration to source term and dose impact on operator exposure, extended loss of AC power (ELAP), and inadequate containment cooling. An evaluation has been performed to determine accessibility to the location, habitability, staffing sufficiency, and communication capability with vent-use decision makers.

The wetwell HCVS will include means to monitor the status of the vent system in both the MCR and the ROS. The wetwell HCVS will include indications for HCVS valve position, vent pipe temperature and effluent radiation levels in the MCR, as well as information on the status of supporting systems, such as battery voltage and pneumatic supply pressure. Indication of pneumatic supply pressure is available from the MCR, while battery voltage will be indicated on the inverter.

The wetwell HCVS will also include containment pressure and wetwell level indication in the MCR to monitor vent operation. This monitoring instrumentation provides the indication from the MCR as per Requirement 1.2.4. The wetwell HCVS will be supplied by existing 24/48YDC batteries for at least 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, then by normal station ppwer or the FLEX DGs.

Component reliahle and rugged performance The HCVS downstream of the second containment isolation valve, including piping and supports, electrical power supply, valve actuator pneumatic supply, and instrumentation (local and remote) components, will be designed/analyzed to conform to the requirements consistent with the applicable design codes (e.g., Non-safety, Cat 1, SS and 300# ASME or B31.1, NEMA 4, etc.) for the plant and to ensure functionality following a design basis earthquake.

Additional modifications required to meet the Order will be reliably functional at the temperature, pressure, and radiation levels consistent with the vent pipe conditions for sustained operations. The instrumentation! power supplies!/cables!

connections (components) will be qualified for temperature, radiation level, total integrated dose radiation for the Effluent Vent Pipe.

Conduit design will be installed to Seismic Class 1 criteria. Both existing and new barriers will be used to provide a level of protection from missiles when required. (reference HCVS-WP-04) Augmented quality requirements, will be applied to the components installed in response to this Order.

If the instruments are purchased as commercial-grade equipment, they will be qualified to operate under severe accident environment as required by NRC Order EA-13-109 and the guidance of NEI 13-02. The equipment will be qualified seismically (IEEE 344), environmentally (IEEE 323), and EMIIRFIC (per RG 1.180). These qualifications will be bounding conditions for BSEP.

For the instruments required after a potential seismic event, the following methods will be used to verify that the design and installation is reliable / rugged and thus capable of ensuring HCVS functionality following a seismic event.

Applicable instruments are rated by the manufacturer (or otherwise tested) for seismic impact at levels commensurate with those of postulated severe accident event conditions in the area of instrument component use using one or more of the following methods:

1. Demonstration of seismic motion will be consistent with that of existing design basis loads at the installed location;
2. Substantial history of operational reliability in environments with significant vibration with a design envelope inclusive of the effects of seismic motion imparted to the instruments proposed at the location; Page 15 of 58

3. Adequacy of seismic design and installation is demonstrated based on the guidance in Sections 7, 8, 9, and 10 of IEEE Standard 344-1975, IEEE Recommended Practice for Seismic Qualification of Class 1E Equipment for Nuclear Power Generating Stations, (Reference 27) or a substantially similar industrial standard;
4. Demonstration that proposed devices are substantially similar in design to models that have been previously tested for seismic effects in excess of the plant design basis at the location where the instrument is to be installed (g-levels and frequency ranges); or

Ref': EA-13-109 Section 1.2.6 / NET 13-02 Section 2.5, 4.2.2 The operation of the HCVS will be designed to minimize the reliance on operator actions for response to an ELAP and BDBEE hazards identified in part 1 of this OIP.

Initial operator actions can be completed by Operators from the HCVS control station(s) and include remote-manual initiation. The operator actions required to open a vent path are as described in table 2-1.

Remote-manual is defined in this report as a non-automatic power operation of a component and does not require the operator to be at or in close proximity to the component. No other operator actions are required to initiate venting under the guiding procedure protocol.

The H-C VS will be designed to allow initiation, control, and monitoring of venting from the MCR. In addition, operators will be able to operate the HCVS valves from an installed ROS as part of the response to EA-13-109. Both locations minimize plant operators' exposure to adverse temperature and radiological conditions and are protected from hazards assumed in Part 1 of this report.

Permanently installed power and motive air/gas capability will be available to support operation and monitoring of the HCVS for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

System control:

i.Active: PCIVs are operated in accordance with EOPs/SOPs to control DW pressure. The HCVS is designed for a minimum 8 openlclose cycles under ELAP conditions over the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> following an ELAP. Controlled venting will be permitted in the revised EPGs and associated implementing EOPs._

ii. Passive: Inadvertent actuation protection is provided by key lock switches located in the MCR and locked valves at the ROS. The HCVS isolation valve is key-locked and closed. Actuation of the HCVS vent path valves from the ROS will require manual operation of normally locked closed isolation valves.

  • Electrical generatorssatisfying the requirements of EA-12-049 may be creditedfor powering components and instrumentationneeded to establish aflow path.
  • Time Sensitive Actions (TSAs) for the purpose of SAWA are those actions needed to transport, connect and startportable equipment needed to provide SA WA flow or provide power to SA WA components in the flow path between the connection point and the RPV or drywell. Actions needed to establish power to SA WA instrumentationshould,also be included as TSAs.

Ref: NEI 13-02 Section 6.1.1.7.4.1, 1.1.4, 1.1.5 The operation of the HCVS using SAWA and SAWM/SADV will be designed to minimize the reliance on operator actions in response to hazards listed in Part 1. Initial operator actions will be completed by plant personnel and will include the capability for remote-manual initiation from outside the RB in an area far from the HCVS vent pipe.

Timelines (see attachments 2.1 .A for SAWA/ SAWMV) were developed to identify required operator response times and actions. The timelines are an expansion of Attachment 2A and begin either as core damage occurs (SAWA) or after initial SAWA injection is established and as flowrate is adjusted for option B.2 (SAWM). The timelines do not assume the core is ex-vessel and the actions taken are appropriate for both in-vessel and ex-vessel core damage conditions.

Ref: EA-13-109 Attachment 2, Section B.2.2, B.2.3 / NET 13-02 Section 1.1.6, 1.1.4.4 It is anticipated that SAWA will be used in Severe Accident Events based on presumed failure of injection systems or presumed failure to implement an injection system in a timely manner leading to core damage. This does not preclude the use of the SAWA system to supplement or replace the EA-12-049 injection systems if desired. SAWA will consist of both portable and installed equipment.

The motive force equipment needed to support the SAWA strategy shall be available prior to t=8 hours from the loss of injection (assumed at T=:0).

The SAWA flow path includes methods to minimize exposure of personnel to radioactive liquids / gases and potentially flammable conditions by inclusion of backflow prevention. The SAWA injection path flows to the Reactor Water Cleanup System then through the main feed system to the RPV.

Ref: EA-13-109 Attachment 2, Section B.2.1, B.2.2, B.2.3/ NET 13-02 Section 1.1.4 Equipment Locations/Controls/Instrumentation The locations of the SAWA equipment and controls, as well as ingress and egress paths, have been evaluated for the expected severe accident conditions (temperature, humidity, radiation) for the Sustained Operating period. Personnel exposure and temperature / humidity conditions for operation of SAWA equipment will not exceed the limits for ERO dose and plant safety guidelines for temperature and humidity.

The SAWA flow path will use the same path and equipment as the FLEX primary injection flow path, but without the need to run any hoses inside the RB. All equipment and connections are remote from the HCVS vent pipe and so are protected by intervening structures and distance from the radiation from the vent pipe. The path is as follows:

  • Hose connection at the Condensate Storage Tank (CST) that is protected from all applicable external hazards
  • FLEX suction hose from the CST to the FLEX (SAWA) pump that is stored in the FLEX storage building
  • FLEX (SAWA) pump that is stored in the FLEX storage building
  • FLEX discharge hose from the FLEX (SAWA) pump to the RB core bore connection at the RB wall and reachable at ground level
  • Through the core bore to a manual valve located inside the RB
  • SAWA flow rate will be monitored via a flow meter mounted on the FLEX (SAWA) pump skid.
  • SAWA flow rate can be controlled by throttling valves on the FLEX (SAWA) pump skid Preliminary evaluations for projected SA conditions (radiation / temperature) indicate that personnel can complete the initial and support activities without exceeding the ERO-allowable dose for equipment operation or site safety standards. (reference HCVS-WP-02, Plant-Specific Dose Analysis for the Venting of Containment during the SA Conditions and HCVS-FAQ-12)

Electrical equipment and instrumentation will be powered from the existing station batteries, and from AC distribution systems that are powered from the EA-12-049 generator(s). The battery chargers are also powered from the EA-12-049 generator(s) to maintain the battery capacities during the Sustained Operating period. The indications include (* are minimum):

OEOP-01-FSG-02 contains the specific instructions for FLEX (SAWA) pump operation to inject water into the RPV. These procedures are the same as for FLEX, with the exception that, rather than run a hose in the RB from the core bore to the RWCU connection, three valves are opened to align the FLEX (SAWA) pump for injection.

Actions already identified under the HCVS part of this template need not be repeated here.

There are three time periodsfor the maintainingSA WM actions such that the WW vent remains available to remove decay heatfrom the containment:

  • SAWM can be maintainedfor >7 days without the needfor a drywell vent to maintain pressure below PCPL or containment design pressure, whichever is lower.

o Under this approach, no detail concerningplant modifications or procedures is necessary with respect to how alternate containmentheat removal will be provided.

  • SAWM can be maintainedfor at least 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />, but less than 7 days before DWpressure reaches PCPL or design pressure, whichever is lower.

o Under this approach, afinctional description is requiredof how alternate containment heat removal might be established before DW pressure reaches PCPL or design pressure whichever is lower. Under this approach,physical plant modifications and detailedprocedures are not necessary, but written descriptionsof possible approachesfor achieving alternate containment heat removal and pressure control will be provided.

  • SAWM can be maintainedfor <72 hours SAWM strategy can be implemented but for less than 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> before DW pressure reaches.PCPL or design pressure whichever is lower.

o Under this approach, afunctional description is requiredof how alternate containment heat removal might be establishedbefore DW pressure reaches PCPL or design pressure whichever is lower. Under this approach, physical plant modifications and detailed procedures are required to be implemented to insure achieving alternatecontainment heat removal and pressure control will be providedfor the sustained operatingperiod.

Ref: NEI 13-02 Appendix C.7 BSEP meets the requirements for Option 1 above; SAWM can be maintained for greater than 7 days without the need for a drywell vent to maintain pressure below containment design pressure.

Basis for SAWM time frame Option 1 - SAWM can be maintained greater than or equal to 7 days:

Preliminary BSEP site-specific MAAP 5.02 analysis demonstrates the containment will be protected for a minimum of 7 days without the use of a drywell vent by SAWM in conjunction with the SAWV. (C.7.1.4.1)

Instrumentation relied upon for SAWM operations is Drywell Pressure, Suppression Pool level and SAWA flow.

Planned modifications are that all of these will be powered by the HCVS panel from the 24/48VDC batteries, and then by the FLEX DGs. The FLEX DGs will provide power throughout the Sustained Operation period (7 days).

(C.7.1.4.2, C.8.3.1)

MAAP analysis shows that suppression Pool level indication is maintained throughout the Sustained Operation period, so the HCVS remains in-service. The time to reach the level at which the WW vent must be secured is >7days using SAWM flowrates (C.6.3, C.7.1.4.3)

' Not required for HCVS and SAWA check valves.

2Atrtwo consecutive successful performances, the test frequency may be reduced to a maximum of once per every other operating cycle.

3 o required if integrity of check function (open and closed) is demonstrated by other plant testing requirements.

4Atrtwo consecutive successful performances, the test frequency may be reduced by one operating cycle to a maximum of once per every fourth operating cycle.

SInterfacing system boundary valves that are normally closed and fail closed under ELAP conditions (loss of power and/or air) do not require control function testing under this part. Performing existing plant design basis function testing or system operation that reposition the valve(s) to the HCVS required position will meet this requirement without the need for additional testing.

Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), Unit Nos. 1 and 2 Hardened Containment Venting System (HCVS) Phase 1 and 2 Overall Integrated Plan - December 2015 Attachment 2.1.C: SAWM SAMG Approved Language The following general cautions,priorities and methods will be evaluatedfor plant specific applicability and incorporatedas appropriateinto the plant specific SAMGs using administrativeproceduresfor EPG/SAG change control process and implementation. SAMGs are symptom based guidelines and therefore address a wide variety of possible plant conditions and capabilities while these changes are intended to accommodate those specific conditions assumed in Order EA-13-1 09. The changes will be made in a way that maintains the use of SAMGs in a symptom based mode while at the same time addressingthose conditions that may exist under extended loss of AC power (ELAP) conditions with significantcore damage including ex-vessel core debris.

Actual Approved Language that will be incorporated into site SAMG*

Cautions:

  • Addressing the possible plant response associated with adding water to hot core debris and the resulting pressurization of the primary containment by rapid steam generation.
  • Addressing the plant impact that raising suppression pool water level above the elevation of the suppression chamber vent opening elevation will flood the suppression chamber vent path.

Priorities:

With significant core damage and RPV breach, SAMGs prioritize the preservation of primary containment integrity while limiting radioactivity releases as follows:

  • Water addition is managed to preserve the Mark 1111 suppression chamber vent paths, thereby retaining the benefits of suppression pool scrubbing and minimizing the likelihood of radioactivity and hydrogen release into the secondary containment (SAWM)

Methods:

Identify systems and capabilities to add water to the RPV or drywell, with the following generic guidance:

  • Use controlled injection if possible.
  • Inject into the RPV if possible.
  • Maintain injection from external sources of water as low as possible to preserve suppression chamber vent capability.
  • Actual language may vary by acceptable site procedure standards, but intent and structure should follow this guidance.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

On June 6, 2013, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued an order (i.e., Reference 1) to Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), Unit Nos. 1 and 2. Reference 1 was immediately effective and directs all boiling water reactors (BWRs) with Mark I and Mark II containments to take certain actions to ensure that these facilities have a hardened containment venting system (HCVS) to support strategies for controlling containment pressure and preventing core damage following an event that causes a loss of heat removal systems, such as an Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP), while ensuring the venting functions are also available during severe accident (SA) conditions. BSEP, Unit Nos. 1 and 2, have Mark I containments. Specific requirements are outlined in Attachment 2 of Reference 1.

Reference 1 requires submission of an Overall Integrated Plan (OIP) by June 30, 2014, for Phase 1 of the Order, and an OIP by December 31, 2015, for Phase 2 of the Order. The interim staff guidance (i.e., References 2 and 3) provides direction regarding the content of the OIP for Phase 1 and Phase 2. Reference 3 endorses industry guidance document NEI 13-02, Revision 1 (i.e., Reference 4), with clarifications and exceptions identified in Reference 3. Reference 5 provided the Duke Energy initial status report regarding reliable hardened containment vents capable of operation under severe accident conditions. Reference 6 provided the BSEP, Units 1 and 2, Phase 10OIP. References 7 and 8 provided the first and second six month status reports pursuant to Section IV, Condition D.3 of Reference 1 for BSEP, Units 1 and 2.

The purpose of this letter is to provide both the third six month update for Phase 1 of the Order pursuant to Section IV, Condition 0.3, of Reference 1, and the OIP for Phase 2 of the Order pursuant to Section IV, Condition D.2 of Reference 1, for BSEP, Units 1 and 2. The third six month update for Phase 1 of the Order is incorporated into the HCVS Phase 1 and Phase 20OIP document, which provides a complete updated Phase 10OIP, a list of the Phase 10OIP open items, and addresses the NRC Interim Staff Evaluation open items for Phase 1 contained in

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 3 of 4 Reference 9. Future six month status reports will provide the updates for both Phase 1 and Phase 20OIP implementation in a single status report.

This letter contains no new regulatory commitments.

Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), Unit Nos. 1 and 2 Hardened Containment Venting System (HCVS) Phase 1 and 2 Overall Integrated Plan - December 2015 Introduction In 1989, the NRC issued Generic Letter 89-16, "Installation of a Hardened Wetwell Vent," to all licensees of BWRs with Mark I containments to encourage licensees to voluntarily install a hardened wetwell vent.

In response, licensees installed a hardened vent pipe from the suppression pool to some point outside the secondary containment envelope (usually outside the reactor building). Some licensees also installed a hardened vent branch line from the drywell.

On March 19, 2013, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Commissioners directed the staff per Staff Requirements Memorandum (SRM) for SECY-12-0157 to require licensees with Mark I and Mark II containments to "upgrade or replace the reliable hardened vents required by Order EA-12-050 with a containment venting system designed and installed to remain functional during severe accident conditions." In response, the NRC issued Order EA-13-109, Issuance of Order to Modify Licenses with Regard to Reliable Hardened Containment Vents Capable of Operation Under Severe Accident Conditions, on June 6, 2013. The Order (EA-13-109) requires that licensees of BWR facilities with Mark I and Mark II containment designs ensure that these facilities have a reliable hardened vent to remove decay heat from the containment, and maintain control of containment pressure within acceptable limits following events that result in the loss of active containment heat removal capability while maintaining the capability to operate under severe accident (SA) conditions resulting from an Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP).

The Order requirements are applied in a phased approach where:

  • "Phase 1 involves upgrading the venting capabilities from the containment wetwell to provide reliable, severe accident capable hhrdened vents to assist in preventing core damage and, if necessary, to provide venting capability during severe accident conditions." (Completed "no later than startup from the second refueling outage that begins after June 30, 2014, or June 30, 2018, whichever comes first.")
  • "Phase 2 involves providing additional protections for severe accident conditions through installation of a reliable, severe accident capable drywell vent system or the development of a reliable containment venting strategy that makes it unlikely that a licensee would need to vent from the containment drywell during severe accident conditions." (Completed "no later than startup from the first refueling outage that begins after June 30, 2017, or June 30, 2019, whichever comes first.")

The NRC provided an acceptable approach for complying with Order EA-13-109 through Interim Staff Guidance (JLD-ISG-2013-02 issued in November 2013 and JLD-ISG-2015-01 issued in April 2015). The ISG endorses the compliance approach presented in NEI 13-02, Revision 0 and 1, Industry Guidancefor Compliance with Order EA-13-1 09, BWR Mark I & II Reliable Hardened Containment Vents Capable of Operation Under Severe Accident Conditions, with clarifications. Except in those cases in which a licensee proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with Order EA-13-109, the NRC staff will use the methods described in the ISGs to evaluate licensee compliance as presented in submittals required in Order EA- 13-109.

The Order also requires submittal of an overall integrated plan which will provide a description of how the requirements of the Order will be achieved. This document provides the Overall Integrated Plan (OIP) for complying with Order EA-13-109 using the methods described in NEI 13-02 and endorsed by NRC JLD-ISG-2013-02 and JLD-ISG-2015-01. Six month progress reports will be provided consistent with the requirements of Order EA13-109. The submittals required are:

  • OIP for Phase 1 of EA-13-109 was required to be submitted by Licensees to the NRC by June 30, 2014. The NRC requires periodic (6 month) updates for the HCVS actions being taken. The first update for Phase 1, was due December 2014, with the second due June 2015.

Page 2 of 58

Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), Unit Nos. 1 and 2 Hardened Containment Venting System (HCVS) Phase 1 and 2 Overall Integrated Plan - December 2015

  • OIP for Phase 2 of EA-13-109 is required to be submitted by Licensees to the NRC by December 31, 2015. It is expected the December 2015 six month update for Phase 1 will be combined with the Phase 20GIP submittal by means of a combined Phase 1 and 20ITP.
  • Thereafter, the 6 month updates will be for both the Phase 1 and Phase 2 actions until complete, consistent with the requirements of Order EA-13-109.

The Plant venting actions for the EA-13-109, Phase 1 severe accident capable venting scenario can be summarized by the following:

  • The HCVS will be initiated via manual action from the either the Main Control Room (MCR) or from a Remote Operating Station (ROS) at the appropriate time based on procedural guidance in response to plant conditions from observed or derived symptoms.
  • The vent will utilize Containment Parameters of Pressure and Level from the MCR instrumentation to monitor effectiveness of the venting actions.
  • The vent operation will be monitored by HCVS valve position, temperature, and effluent radiation levels.
  • The HCVS motive force will be monitored and have the capacity to operate for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> with installed equipment. Replenishment of the motive force will be by use of portable equipment once the installed motive force is exhausted.
  • Venting actions will be capable of being maintained for a sustained period of up to 7 days or a shorter time if justified.

The Phase 2 actions can be summarized as follows:

  • Utilization of Severe Accident Water Management (SAWM/) to control injection and Suppression Pool level to ensure the HCVS (Phase 1) wetwell vent (SAWV) will remain functional for the removal of decay heat from containment.
  • Ensure that the decay heat can be removed from the containment for seven (7) days using the HCVS or describe the alternate method(s) to remove decay heat from the containment from the time the HCVS is no longer functional until alternate means of decay heat removal are established that make it unlikely the drywell vent will be required for DW pressure control.
  • The SAWA and SAWM actions will be manually activated and controlled from areas that are accessible during severe accident conditions.
  • Parameters measured should be Drywell pressure, Suppression Pool level, SAWA flowrate and the HCVS parameters listed above.
  • Alternatively SAWA and a Severe Accident Capable Drywell Vent (SADV) strategy may be implemented to meet Phase 2 of Order EA-13-109.

Identify any deviations.

Include a description of any alternatives to the guidance. A technicaljustification and basisfor the alternative needs to be provided. This will likely require a pre-meeting with the NRC to review the alternative.

Ref: JLD-ISG-2013-02, JLD-ISG-2015-01 Compliance will be attained for Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP) with no known deviations to the guidelines in JLD-ISG-2013-02, JLD-ISG-2015-01 and NEl 13-02 for each phase as follows:

  • The Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) will be comprised of installed and portable equipment and operating guidance:
  • Severe Accident Wetwell Vent (SAWV) - Permanently installed vent from the Unit Suppression Pool to the top of the Unit Reactor Building
  • Severe Accident Water Addition (SAWA) - A combination of permanently installed and portable equipment to provide a means to add water to the RPV following a severe accident and monitor system and plant conditions.
  • Severe Accident Water Management (SAWM) strategies and guidance for controlling the water addition to
  • the RPV for the sustained operating period. (reference attachment 2.1 .C)
  • Phase 1 (wetwell): by the startup from the second refueling outage that begins after June 30, 2014, or June 30, 2018, whichever comes first. Currently scheduled for JIs quarterof 2018 for Unit 1 and 1 Mt quarterof 2017for Unit 2.
  • Phase 2 (alternate strategy): by the startup from the first refueling outage that begins after June 30, 2017 or June 30, 2019, whichever comes first. Currently scheduled for jst quarter of 2018 for Unit 1 and j*t quarter of 2019 for Unit 2.

BSEP is taking no alternative approaches to the guidelines in JLD-ISG-2013-02 and JLD-ISG-2015-01.

If deviations are identified at a later date, then the deviations will be communicated in a future 6 month update following identification.

Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), Unit Nos. 1 and 2 Hardened Containment Venting System (HCVS) Phase 1 and 2 Overall Integrated Plan - December 2015 Part 1: General Integrated Plan Elements and Assumptions Key Site assumptions to implement NET 13-02 HCVS, Phase 1 and 2 Actions.

Provide key assumptions associatedwith implementation of HCVS Phase 1 and Phase 2 Actions Ref: NET 13-02, Revision 1, Section 2 NET 12-06 Revision 0 Mark 1111 Generic EA-13-109 Phase 1 and Phase 2 Related Assumptions:

Applicable EA- 12-049 assumptions:

049-1. Assumed initial plant conditions are as identified in NEI 12-06 section 3.2.1.2 items 1 and 2.

049-2. Assumed initial conditions are as identified in NET 12-06 section 3.2.1.3 items 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8 049-3. Assumed reactor transient boundary conditions are as identified in NET 12-06 section 3.2.1.4 items 1, 2, 3 and 4 049-4. No additional events or failures are assumed to occur immediately prior to or during the event, including security events except for failure of RCIC or HPCI. (Reference NEl 12-06 3.2.1.3 item 9) 049-5. At Time=0 the event is initiated and all rods insert and no other event beyond a common site ELAP is occurring at any or all of the units. (NEJ 12-06, section 3.2.1.3 item 9 and 3.2.1.4 item 1-4) 049-6. At one hour an ELAP is declared and actions begin as defined in EA-12-049 compliance 049-7. DC power and distribution can be credited for the duration determined p~er the BA- 12-049 (FLEX) methodology for battery usage, 168 hours0.00194 days <br />0.0467 hours <br />2.777778e-4 weeks <br />6.3924e-5 months <br />. This assumption applies to the water addition capability under SAWA/SAWM.

The power supply scheme for the HCVS shall be in accordance with EA-13-109 and the applicable guidance.

(NET 12-06, section 3.2.1.3 item 8) 049-8. Deployment resources are assumed to begin arriving at hour 6 and fully staffed by 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> 049-9. All activities associated with plant specific EA-12-049 FLEX strategies that are not specific to implementation of the HCVS, including such items as debris removal, communication, notification, SEP level and makeup, security response, opening doors for cooling, and initiating conditions for the event, can be credited as previously evaluated for FLEX. (Refer to assumption 109-02 below for clarity on SAWA)(HC VS-FAQ-il)

Applicable EA-13-109 generic assumptions:

109-01. Site response activities associated with EA-13-109 actions are considered to have no access limitations associated with radiological impacts while RPV level is above 2/3 core height (core damage is not expected).

This is further addressed in HCVS-FAQ- 12 109-02. Portable equipment, can supplement the installed equipment after 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> provided the portable equipment credited meets the criteria applicable to the HCVS. An example is use of FLEX portable air supply equipment that is credited to recharge air lines for HCVS components after 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. The FLEX portable air supply used must be demonstrated to meet the "SA Capable" criteria that are defined in NET 13-02 Section 4.2.4.2 and Appendix D Section D.1.3. This assumption does not apply to Phase 2 SAWA/SAWM because SAWA equipment needs to be connected and placed in service within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> from the time of the loss of RPV injection. (reference HCVS-FAQ- 12) 109-03. SEP level is maintained with either on-site or off-site resources such that the SEP does not contribute to the analyzed source term (Reference HCVS-FAQ-07).

109-04. Existing containment components' design and testing values are governed by existing plant primary containment criteria (e.g., Appendix J) and are not subject to the testing criteria from NET 13-02 (reference HCVS-FAQ-05 and NEI 13-02 section 6.2.2).

109-05. Classical design basis evaluations and assumptions are not required when assessing the operation of the HCVS.

Page 5 of 58

Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), Unit Nos. 1 and 2 Hardened Containment Venting System (HCVS) Phase 1 and 2 Overall Integrated Plan - December 2015 Part 1: General Integrated Plan Elements and Assumptions The reason this is not required is that the order postulates an unsuccessful mitigation of an event such that an ELAP progresses to a severe accident with ex-vessel core debris which classical design basis evaluations are intended to prevent. (Reference NEI 13-02 section 2.3.1).

109-06. HCVS manual actions that require minimal operator steps and can be performed in the postulated thermal and radiological environment at the location of the step(s) (e.g., load stripping, control switch manipulation, valving-in nitrogen bottles) are acceptable to obtain HCVS venting dedicated functionality. (reference HCV-FAQ-01) This assumption does not apply to Phase 2 SAWA/SAWM because SAWA equipment needs to be connected and placed in service within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> from the time of the loss of RPV injection and will require more than minimal operator action.

109-07. HCVS dedicated equipment is defined as vent process elements that are required for the HCVS to function in an ELAP event that progresses to core melt ex-vessel. (reference HCVS-FAQ-02 and White Paper HCVS-WP-01).

This assumption does not apply to Phase 2 SAWAISAWM because SAWA equipment is not dedicated to HCVS but shared to support FLEX functions. This is further addressed in HCVS-FAQ-1 1.

109-08. Use of MAAP Version 4 or higher provides adequate assurance of the plant conditions (e.g., RPV water level, temperatures, etc.) assumed for Order EA-13-109 BDBEE and SA HCVS operation. (reference FLEX MAAP Endorsement ML13190A201) Additional analysis using RELAP5/MOD 3, GOTHIC, PCFLUD, LOCADOSE and SHIELD are acceptable methods for evaluating environmental conditions in areas of the plant provided the specific version utilized is documented in the analysis. MAAP Version 5 was used to develop EPRI Technical Report 3002003301 to support drywell temperature response to SAWA under severe accident conditions.

109-09. NRC Published Accident evaluations (e.g. SOARCA, SECY-12-0157, and NUREG 1465) as related to Order EA-13-109 conditions are acceptable as references. (Reference NEI 13-02 section 8).

109-10. Permanent modifications installed or planned per EA-12-049 are assumed implemented and may be credited for use in EA-13-109 Order response.

109-11. This Overall Integrated Plan is based on Emergency Operating Procedure changes consistent with EPG/SAGs Revision 3 as incorporated per the sites EOP/SAMG procedure change process. This assumption does not apply to Phase 2 SAWM because SAWM is not part of revision 3.(reference to Attachment 2.1.C for SAWMV SAMG Changes approved by the B'WROG Emergency Procedures Committee) 109-12. Under the postulated scenarios of Order EA-13-109 the Control Room is adequately protected from excessive radiation dose due to its distance and shielding from the reactor (per General Design Criterion (GDC) 19 in 10CFR50 Appendix A) and no further evaluation of its use as the preferred HCVS control location is required provided that the HCVS routing is a sufficient distance away from the MCR or is shielded to minimize impact to the MCR dose. In addition, adequate protective clothing and respiratory protection are available if required to address contamination issues. (reference HCVS-FAQ-01 and HCVS-FAQ-09) 109-13. The suppression pool/wetwell of a BWR Mark JllI containment is considered to be bounded by assuming a saturated environment for the duration of the event response because of the water/steam interactions.

109-14. RPV depressurization is directed by the EPGs in all cases prior to entry into the SAGs. (reference NEI 13-02 Rev 1, Section 1.1.3) 109-15 The Severe Accident impacts are assumed on one unit only due to the site compliance with NRC Order EA-12-049. However, each BWR Mk I and HI under the assumptions of NRC Order EA-13-109 ensure the capability to protect containment exists for each unit. (HC VS-FAQ-i) This is further addressed in HCVS-FAQ- 10.

[Open item #4]

Provide a sequence of events and identify any time or environmental constraint required for success including the basis for the constraint.

A timeline was developed to identify required operator response times and potential environmental constraints. This timeline is based upon the following three cases:

1. Case 1 is based upon the action response times developed for FLEX when utilizing anticipatory venting in a BDBEE without core damage.
2. Case 2 is based on a SECY-12-0 157 long term station blackout (LTSBO) (or ELAP) with failure of RCIC after a black start where failure occurs because of subjectively assuming over injection.
3. Case 3 is based on NUREG-1935 (SOARCA) results for a prolonged SBO (or ELAP) with the loss of RCIC case without black start.

The following is a discussion of time constraints identified in Attachment 2A for the 3 timeline cases identified above

  • Approximately 17 Hours: Initiate use of Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) per site procedures to maintain containment parameters below design limits.- The reliable operation of HCVS will be met because HCVS meets the seismic requirements identified in NEI 13-02 and will be powered by DC buses with motive force supplied to HCVS valves from installed backup nitrogen storage bottles via the N2 backup system. Critical HCVS controls and instruments associated with containment will be DC powered and operated from the MCR or a Remote Page 8 of 58

(reference ISG-JLD-201201 and ISG-JLD-2012-03 for seismic details.)

The components including instrumentation external to a seismic category 1 (or equivalent building or enclosure should be designed to meet the external hazards that screen-in for the plant as defined in guidance NEI112-06 as endorsed by Page 10 of 58

Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), Unit Nos. 1 and 2 Hardened Containment Venting System (HCVS) Phase 1 and 2 Overall Integrated Plan - December 2015 Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent JLD-ISG-12-O1 for Order EA-12-049.

Use of instruments and supporting components with known operatingprinciples that are supplied by manufacturerswith commercial quality assuranceprograms, such as 1509001. The procurement specificationsshall include the seismic requirements and/or instrument design requirements, and specify the needfor commercial design standardsand testing under seismic loadings consistent with design basis values at the instrument locations.

Demonstrationof the seismic reliability of the instrumentation through methods that predictperformance by analysis, qualification testing under simulated seismic conditions, a combination of testing and analysis, or the use of experience data. Guidancefor these is based on sections 7, 8, 9, and 10 of lEEE Standard 344-2004, "IEEE Recommended Practice for Seismic Qualificationof Class 1E Equipment for Nuclear Power Generating Stations," or a substantially similar industrial standardcould be used.

Demonstration that the instrumentation is substantiallysimilar in design to instrumentation that has been previously tested to seismic loading levels in accordancewith the plant design basis at the location where the instrument is to be installed (g-levels andfrequency ranges). Such testing and analysis should be similar to that performedfor the plant licensing basis.

Vent Size and Basis The HCVS wetwell path is designed for venting steam/energy at a nominal capacity of 1% or greater of 2923 MWt thermal power (Current Licensed Thermal Power) at a pressure of 62 psig. This pressure is the lower of the containment design pressure (62 psig) and the PCPL value (70 psig). The size of the existing wetwell portion of the HCVS is

> 8 inches in diameter. The vent has adequate capacity to meet or exceed the Order criteria at the containment design pressure (62 psig). [Open item #9].

Vent Capacity The 1% value at BSEP assumes that the suppression pool pressure suppression capacity is sufficient to absorb the decay heat generated during the first 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br />. The vent would then be able to prevent containment pressure from increasing above the containment design pressure. As part of the detailed design, the duration of suppression pool decay heat absorption capability will be confirmed. [Open item #6]

Vent Path and Discharge The existing HCVS vent path at BSEP consists of a wetwell vent on each unit. The wetwell vent exits the Primary Containment through the wetwell purge exhaust piping and associated inboard wetwell purge exhaust valve. Between the inboard and outboard wetwell purge exhaust valves, the wetwell vent isolation valve is installed. Downstream of the wetwell vent isolation valve, the vent piping exits the Reactor Building through the west wall and into the space between the Reactor Building and Turbine Building. The vent traverses up the exterior of the building and re-enters the Reactor Building through the metal siding on the refuel floor, then rises along the west side where it exits the Reactor Building through the roof. All effluents are exhausted above each unit's Reactor Building.

The HCVS discharge path will be routed to a point above any adjacent structure. This discharge point is just above that unit's Reactor Building such that the release point will vent away from emergency ventilation system intake and exhaust openings, main control room location, location of HCVS portable equipment, access routes required following a ELAP and BDBEE, and emergency response facilities; however, these must be considered in conjunctions with other design criteria (e.g. flow capacity) and pipe routing limitations, to the degree practical.

Missile protection from external events as defined by NEI 12-06 for the vent pipe has been evaluated and found to be acceptable. (Ref. HCVS-FAQ-04; HCVS-WP-04) [Open item #1; ISE Open item #7]

Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), Unit Nos. 1 and 2 Hardened Containment Venting System (HCVS) Phase 1 and 2 Overall Integrated Plan - December 2015 Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent Instruments that require 24VDC input will receive it directly from the battery through an HCVS transfer switch. HCVS loads that require 120VAC power will receive it from an HCVS 48VDC to 120VAC inverter fed from the unit's 24/48VDC battery. All electrical components are located in the mild environment of the Control Building on either the 23' or 49' level and are seismically qualified. The 24/48VDC battery has the capacity to power these loads for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> without recharging. After 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> the FLEX DGs will re-power the 24/48VDC battery chargers for sustained operation.

Pneumatic power is normally provided by the non-interruptible instrument air system (for the Reactor Building) and the pneumatic nitrogen system (for the Drywell) with backup nitrogen provided from the safety-related nitrogen backup system. Following an ELAP event, and the loss of non-interruptible instrument air and pneumatic nitrogen, the nitrogen backup system automatically provides operating pneumatics to the SRV accumulators and hardened wetwell vent valves.

Therefore, for the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> post-ELAP initiation, pneumatic force will be supplied from the existing nitrogen backup system bottle racks located on the EL. 50'-0" of the Reactor Building. These installed bottles will supply the required motive force to those HCVS valves needed to maintain flow through the HCVS effluent piping.

1. The HCVS flow path valves are air-operated valves (AOV) with air-to-open and spring-to-close actuators. Opening the valves from the primary control station requires energizing an AC-powered solenoid-operated valve (SOV) and providing motive air/gas. The systems described above will provide a permanently installed power source and motive air/gas supply adequate for the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. Beyond the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, FLEX DGs will be used to maintain battery power to the HCVS components. The initial stored motive air/gas will allow for a minimum of eight valve operating cycles for the HCVS valves for the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. Additional motive force will be supplied from the FLEX air compressor that will be located such that radiological impacts are not a concern. [Open item #7] The location' of the FLEX DGs, FLEX air compressors, and their connections will be evaluated as acceptable for use during a severe accident. [Open items #4 & #7]
2. The ROS will provide valves that supply pneumatics to the HCVS valve actuators so that these may be opened without power to the valve actuator solenoids. This will provide a diverse method of valve operation improving system reliability.
3. An assessment of temperature and radiological conditions will be performed to ensure that operating personnel can safely access and operate controls at the Remote Operating Station based on time constraints listed in Attachment 2A. [ISE Open item #10]
4. All permanently installed HCVS equipment, including any connections required to supplement the HCVS operation during an ELAP (i.e., electric power, N2/air) will be located in areas reasonably protected from defined hazards listed in Part 1 of this report.
5. All valves required to open the flow path are designed for remote manual operation following an ELAP, such that the primary means of valve manipulation does not rely on use of a hand wheel, reach-rod or similar means that requires close proximity to the valve (reference FAQ HCVS-03). Any supplemental connections will be pre-engineered to minimize man-power resources and address environmental concerns. Required portable equipment will be reasonably protected from screened in hazards listed in Part 1 of this OIP.
6. Access to the locations described above will not require temporary ladders or scaffolding.

Location of Control Panels The BSEP wetwell HCVS will allow initiating and then operating and monitoring the HCVS from a control panel located in the main control room (MCR) and will meet the requirements of Order element 1.2.4. The MCR functions as the normal control point for Plant Emergency Response actions and is a readily accessible location with no further evaluation required. Control Room dose associated with HCVS operation conforms to GDC 19/Alternative Source Term (AST).

Additionally, to meet the intent for a secondary control location of section 1.2.5 of the Order, a readily accessible alternate location, called the Remote Operating Station (ROS), will also be incorporated into the HCVS design as described in NEI 13-02 section 4.2.2.1.2.1. Means to manually operate the wetwell vent will be provided at the ROS.

Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), Unit Nos. 1 and 2 Hardened Containment Venting System (HCVS) Phase 1 and 2 Overall Integrated Plan - December 2015 Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent The planned location for the ROS is in the southeast corner of the RB 50'-0" for Unit 1, and the northeast corner of the RB 50'-0" elevation for Unit 2. The ROS will be located Within the RB, in an area shielded from the HCVS vent pipe, with a direct egress path to the MCR. Refer to the sketches provided in Attachment 3 for the BSEP site layout. The controls available at the ROS location will be accessible and functional under a range of plant conditions, including severe accident conditions with due consideration to source term and dose impact on operator exposure, extended loss of AC power (ELAP), inadequate containment cooling, and loss of reactor building ventilation. As part of the detailed design, an evaluation will be performed to verify accessibility to the location, habitability, staffing sufficiency, and communication capability with vent-use decision makers. [Open item #2]

Hydrogen As is required by EA-13-109, Section 1.2.11, the HCVS must be designed such that it is able to either provide assurance that oxygen cannot enter and mix with flammable gas in the HCVS (so as to form a combustible gas mixture), or it must be able to accommodate the dynamic loading resulting from a combustible gas detonation. Several configurations are available which will support the former (e.g., purge, mechanical isolation from outside air, etc.) or the latter (design of potentially affected portions of the system to withstand a detonation relative to pipe stress and support structures).

BSEP will install a check valve at the top of the HCVS pipe above the RB roof. This check valve will prevent air from being drawn back into the vent pipe after a venting evolution. In this manner, an explosive mixture is prevented from forming in the vent pipe. [Open item #3]

Unintended Cross Flow of Vented Fluids The HCVS utilizes Containment Atmospheric Control (CAC) system valves CAC'-V7 and CAC-V2 16 for containment isolation. CAC-V7 and CAC-V216 are AOVs and they are air-to-open and spring-to-shut. An SOy must be energized to allow the motive air to open the valve from the MCR location. CAC-V7 and CAC-V216 have a safety related function to maintain the containment pressure boundary during a design basis accident and are tested as required by 10CFR50, Appendix J. Although these valves are shared between the CAC and the HCVS, separate control circuits are provided to each valve. Specifically, the CAC control circuit will be used during all "design basis" operating modes including all design basis transients and accidents.

Cross flow potential exists between the HCVS and the Standby Gas Treatment System (SBGT). CAC system valves CAC-V8 and CAC-V172 function as boundary valves with the SBGT system. Valves CAC-V8 and V-172 are containment isolation valves with a safety related function to maintain the containment pressure boundary during a design basis accident. These valves are tested, and will continue to be tested, for leakage under 10CFR50 Appendix J as part of the containment boundary JAW HCVS-FAQ-05. See Sketch 1 of Attachment 3 for a P&ID diagram of the system. These valves therefore prevent cross-flow from the SAWV pipe to the SBGT system.

Prevention of Inadvertent Actuation EOP/ERG operating procedures provide guidance that the HCVS is not to be used to defeat containment integrity during any design basis transients and accident. In addition, the HCVS will be designed to provide features to prevent inadvertent actuation due to a design error, equipment malfunction, or operator error such that any credited containment accident pressure (CAP) that would provide net positive suction bead to the emergency core cooling system (ECCS) pumps will be available (inclusive of a design basis loss-of-coolant accident (DBLOCA)). As part of BSEP's 120 percent power uprate, a 5 psig credit for containment overpressure was established for evaluating low pressure ECCS pump NPSH (Ref. 38, Section 6.3.2.2.5). However the ECCS pumps will not have power available because of the starting boundary conditions of an ELAP.

  • The features that prevent inadvertent actuation are key lock switches at the primary control station and locked closed valves at the ROS. Procedures also provide clear guidance to not circumvent containment integrity by opening CAC purge exhaust and SAWV wetwell vent valves during any design basis transient or accident.

Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), Unit Nos. 1 and 2 Hardened Containment Venting System (HCVS) Phase 1 and 2 Overall Integrated Plan - December 2015 Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent The HCVS components downstream of the second containment isolation valve (and components that interface with the HCVS) that are not routed in seismically qualified structures will be designed for reliable and ragged performance that is capable of ensuring HCVS functionality following a seismic event. HCVS components that directly interface with the pressure boundary will be considered safety related, as the existing system is safety related. The containment system limits the leakage or release of radioactive materials to the environment to prevent offsite exposures from exceeding the guidelines of 10CFR100. During normal or design basis operations, this means serving as a pressure boundary to prevent release of radioactive material.

Likewise, any electrical or controls component which interfaces with Class 1E power sources will be considered safety related up to and including appropriate isolation devices such as fuses or breakers, as their failure could adversely impact containment isolation and/or a safety-related power source. The remaining components will be considered Augmented Quality. Newly installed piping and valves will be seismically qualified to handle the forces associated with the seismic margin earthquake (SME) back to their isolation boundaries. Electrical and controls components will be seismically qualified and will include the ability to handle harsh environmental conditions (although they will not be considered part of the site Environmental Qualification (EQ) program).

HCVS instrumentation performance (e.g., accuracy and precision) need not exceed that of similar plant installed equipment. Additionally, radiation monitoring instrumentation accuracy and range will be sufficient to confirm flow of radionuclides through the HCVS.

The HCVS instruments, including valve position indication, process instrumentation, radiation monitoring, and support system monitoring, will be qualified by using one or more of the three methods described in the ISG, which includes:

1. Purchase of instruments and supporting components with known operating principles from manufacturers with commercial quality assurance programs (e.g., ISO9001) where the procurement specifications include the applicable seismic requirements, design requirements, and applicable testing.
2. Demonstration of seismic reliability via methods that predict performance described in IEEE 344-1975
3. Demonstration that instrumentation is substantially similar to the design of instrumentation previously qualified.

Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), Unit Nos. 1 and 2 Hardened Containment Venting System (HCVS) Phase 1 and 2 Overall Integrated Plan - December 2015 Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent Monitoring of HCVS The BSEP wetwell HCVS will be capable of being manually operated during sustained operations from a control panel located in the main control room (MCR) and will meet the requirements of Order element 1.2.4. The MCR is a readily accessible location with no further evaluation required. Control Room dose associated with HCVS operation conforms to GDC 19/Altemnate Source Term (AST). Additionally, to meet the intent for a secondary control location of section 1.2.5 of the Order, a readily accessible Remote Operating Station (ROS) will also be incorporated into the HCVS design as described in NEI 13-02 section 4.2.2.1.2.1. The controls and indications at the ROS location will be accessible and functional under a range of plant conditions, including severe accident conditions with due consideration to source term and dose impact on operator exposure, extended loss of AC power (ELAP), and inadequate containment cooling. An evaluation has been performed to determine accessibility to the location, habitability, staffing sufficiency, and communication capability with vent-use decision makers.

The wetwell HCVS will include means to monitor the status of the vent system in both the MCR and the ROS. The wetwell HCVS will include indications for HCVS valve position, vent pipe temperature and effluent radiation levels in the MCR, as well as information on the status of supporting systems, such as battery voltage and pneumatic supply pressure. Indication of pneumatic supply pressure is available from the MCR, while battery voltage will be indicated on the inverter.

The wetwell HCVS will also include containment pressure and wetwell level indication in the MCR to monitor vent operation. This monitoring instrumentation provides the indication from the MCR as per Requirement 1.2.4. The wetwell HCVS will be supplied by existing 24/48YDC batteries for at least 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, then by normal station ppwer or the FLEX DGs.

Component reliahle and rugged performance The HCVS downstream of the second containment isolation valve, including piping and supports, electrical power supply, valve actuator pneumatic supply, and instrumentation (local and remote) components, will be designed/analyzed to conform to the requirements consistent with the applicable design codes (e.g., Non-safety, Cat 1, SS and 300# ASME or B31.1, NEMA 4, etc.) for the plant and to ensure functionality following a design basis earthquake.

Additional modifications required to meet the Order will be reliably functional at the temperature, pressure, and radiation levels consistent with the vent pipe conditions for sustained operations. The instrumentation! power supplies!/cables!

connections (components) will be qualified for temperature, radiation level, total integrated dose radiation for the Effluent Vent Pipe.

Conduit design will be installed to Seismic Class 1 criteria. Both existing and new barriers will be used to provide a level of protection from missiles when required. (reference HCVS-WP-04) Augmented quality requirements, will be applied to the components installed in response to this Order.

If the instruments are purchased as commercial-grade equipment, they will be qualified to operate under severe accident environment as required by NRC Order EA-13-109 and the guidance of NEI 13-02. The equipment will be qualified seismically (IEEE 344), environmentally (IEEE 323), and EMIIRFIC (per RG 1.180). These qualifications will be bounding conditions for BSEP.

For the instruments required after a potential seismic event, the following methods will be used to verify that the design and installation is reliable / rugged and thus capable of ensuring HCVS functionality following a seismic event.

Applicable instruments are rated by the manufacturer (or otherwise tested) for seismic impact at levels commensurate with those of postulated severe accident event conditions in the area of instrument component use using one or more of the following methods:

1. Demonstration of seismic motion will be consistent with that of existing design basis loads at the installed location;
2. Substantial history of operational reliability in environments with significant vibration with a design envelope inclusive of the effects of seismic motion imparted to the instruments proposed at the location; Page 15 of 58

Ref': EA-13-109 Section 1.2.6 / NET 13-02 Section 2.5, 4.2.2 The operation of the HCVS will be designed to minimize the reliance on operator actions for response to an ELAP and BDBEE hazards identified in part 1 of this OIP.

Initial operator actions can be completed by Operators from the HCVS control station(s) and include remote-manual initiation. The operator actions required to open a vent path are as described in table 2-1.

Remote-manual is defined in this report as a non-automatic power operation of a component and does not require the operator to be at or in close proximity to the component. No other operator actions are required to initiate venting under the guiding procedure protocol.

The H-C VS will be designed to allow initiation, control, and monitoring of venting from the MCR. In addition, operators will be able to operate the HCVS valves from an installed ROS as part of the response to EA-13-109. Both locations minimize plant operators' exposure to adverse temperature and radiological conditions and are protected from hazards assumed in Part 1 of this report.

Permanently installed power and motive air/gas capability will be available to support operation and monitoring of the HCVS for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

System control:

i.Active: PCIVs are operated in accordance with EOPs/SOPs to control DW pressure. The HCVS is designed for a minimum 8 openlclose cycles under ELAP conditions over the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> following an ELAP. Controlled venting will be permitted in the revised EPGs and associated implementing EOPs._

ii. Passive: Inadvertent actuation protection is provided by key lock switches located in the MCR and locked valves at the ROS. The HCVS isolation valve is key-locked and closed. Actuation of the HCVS vent path valves from the ROS will require manual operation of normally locked closed isolation valves.

Connections for supplementing electrical power and motive air/gas required for HCVS are located in accessible areas with reasonable protection per NIEI 12-06 that minimize personnel exposure to adverse conditions for HCVS initiation and operation.

Connections are pre-engineered quick disconnects to minimize manpower resources. The equipment provided in response to NRC EA-12-049 will provide pneumatic and electrical makeup for the sustained operating period. Response to EA-12-049 has demonstrated the capability for long-term power supply.

These actions provide long term support for HCVS operation for the period beyond 24 hrs. to 7 days (sustained operation time period) because on-site and off-site personnel and resources will have access to the unit(s) to provide needed action and supplies.

Licensees that use Option B.] of EA-13-109 (SA Capable DW Vent without SAWA) must develop their own OIP. This template does not provide guidancefor that option.

Licensees using Option B.2 of EA-13-109 (SAWA and SAWM or 5450 F SADW Vent (SADV) with SAWA) may use this template for their OIP submittal. Both SA WM and SADV require the use of SA WA and may not be done independently.

The HCVS actions under Part 2 apply to all of the following:

This Part is divided into the following sections:

3.1: Severe Accident Water Addition (SA WA )

3.1.A: Severe Accident Water Management (SA WM) 3.1.B: Severe Accident DW Vent (545 deg F) (NOT APPLICABLE)

Provide a sequence of events and identify any time constraint required for success including the basis for the time constraint.

SA WA and SA WM or SADV Actions supporting SA conditions that have a time constraint to be successfil should be identified with a technical basis and ajustificationprovided that the time can reasonably be met (for example, a walkthrough of deployment). Actions already identified under the HCVS part of this template need not be repeated here.

The time to establish the water addition capability into the RPV or DW should be less than 8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />sfrom the onset of the loss of all injection sources.

  • Electrical generatorssatisfying the requirements of EA-12-049 may be creditedfor powering components and instrumentationneeded to establish aflow path.
  • Time Sensitive Actions (TSAs) for the purpose of SAWA are those actions needed to transport, connect and startportable equipment needed to provide SA WA flow or provide power to SA WA components in the flow path between the connection point and the RPV or drywell. Actions needed to establish power to SA WA instrumentationshould,also be included as TSAs.

Ref: NEI 13-02 Section 6.1.1.7.4.1, 1.1.4, 1.1.5 The operation of the HCVS using SAWA and SAWM/SADV will be designed to minimize the reliance on operator actions in response to hazards listed in Part 1. Initial operator actions will be completed by plant personnel and will include the capability for remote-manual initiation from outside the RB in an area far from the HCVS vent pipe.

Timelines (see attachments 2.1 .A for SAWA/ SAWMV) were developed to identify required operator response times and actions. The timelines are an expansion of Attachment 2A and begin either as core damage occurs (SAWA) or after initial SAWA injection is established and as flowrate is adjusted for option B.2 (SAWM). The timelines do not assume the core is ex-vessel and the actions taken are appropriate for both in-vessel and ex-vessel core damage conditions.

Ref: EA-13-109 Attachment 2, Section B.2.2, B.2.3 / NET 13-02 Section 1.1.6, 1.1.4.4 It is anticipated that SAWA will be used in Severe Accident Events based on presumed failure of injection systems or presumed failure to implement an injection system in a timely manner leading to core damage. This does not preclude the use of the SAWA system to supplement or replace the EA-12-049 injection systems if desired. SAWA will consist of both portable and installed equipment.

The motive force equipment needed to support the SAWA strategy shall be available prior to t=8 hours from the loss of injection (assumed at T=:0).

The SAWA flow path includes methods to minimize exposure of personnel to radioactive liquids / gases and potentially flammable conditions by inclusion of backflow prevention. The SAWA injection path flows to the Reactor Water Cleanup System then through the main feed system to the RPV. The main feedwater containment isolation check valves prevent any backflow from the RPV to the SAWA connection.

Ref: EA-13-109 Attachment 2, Section B.2.1, B.2.2, B.2.3/ NET 13-02 Section 1.1.4 Equipment Locations/Controls/Instrumentation The locations of the SAWA equipment and controls, as well as ingress and egress paths, have been evaluated for the expected severe accident conditions (temperature, humidity, radiation) for the Sustained Operating period. Personnel exposure and temperature / humidity conditions for operation of SAWA equipment will not exceed the limits for ERO dose and plant safety guidelines for temperature and humidity.

The SAWA flow path will use the same path and equipment as the FLEX primary injection flow path, but without the need to run any hoses inside the RB. All equipment and connections are remote from the HCVS vent pipe and so are protected by intervening structures and distance from the radiation from the vent pipe. The path is as follows:

  • Hose connection at the Condensate Storage Tank (CST) that is protected from all applicable external hazards
  • FLEX suction hose from the CST to the FLEX (SAWA) pump that is stored in the FLEX storage building
  • FLEX (SAWA) pump that is stored in the FLEX storage building
  • FLEX discharge hose from the FLEX (SAWA) pump to the RB core bore connection at the RB wall and reachable at ground level
  • Through the core bore to a manual valve located inside the RB
  • SAWA flow rate will be monitored via a flow meter mounted on the FLEX (SAWA) pump skid.
  • SAWA flow rate can be controlled by throttling valves on the FLEX (SAWA) pump skid Preliminary evaluations for projected SA conditions (radiation / temperature) indicate that personnel can complete the initial and support activities without exceeding the ERO-allowable dose for equipment operation or site safety standards. (reference HCVS-WP-02, Plant-Specific Dose Analysis for the Venting of Containment during the SA Conditions and HCVS-FAQ-12)

Electrical equipment and instrumentation will be powered from the existing station batteries, and from AC distribution systems that are powered from the EA-12-049 generator(s). The battery chargers are also powered from the EA-12-049 generator(s) to maintain the battery capacities during the Sustained Operating period. The indications include (* are minimum):

OEOP-01-FSG-02 contains the specific instructions for FLEX (SAWA) pump operation to inject water into the RPV. These procedures are the same as for FLEX, with the exception that, rather than run a hose in the RB from the core bore to the RWCU connection, three valves are opened to align the FLEX (SAWA) pump for injection.

Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), Unit Nos. 1 and 2 Hardened Containment Venting System (HCVS) Phase 1 and 2 Overall Integrated Plan - December 2015 Part 3.1.A: Boundary Conditions for SAWAISAWM Time periods for the maintaining SAWM actions such that the WW vent remains available SA WM Actions supporting SA conditions that have a time constraintto be successful should be identified with a technical basis and ajustificationprovided that the time can reasonably be met (for example, a walkthrough of deployment). Actions already identified under the HCVS part of this template need not be repeated here.

There are three time periodsfor the maintainingSA WM actions such that the WW vent remains available to remove decay heatfrom the containment:

  • SAWM can be maintainedfor >7 days without the needfor a drywell vent to maintain pressure below PCPL or containment design pressure, whichever is lower.

o Under this approach, no detail concerningplant modifications or procedures is necessary with respect to how alternate containmentheat removal will be provided.

  • SAWM can be maintainedfor at least 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />, but less than 7 days before DWpressure reaches PCPL or design pressure, whichever is lower.

o Under this approach, afinctional description is requiredof how alternate containment heat removal might be established before DW pressure reaches PCPL or design pressure whichever is lower. Under this approach,physical plant modifications and detailedprocedures are not necessary, but written descriptionsof possible approachesfor achieving alternate containment heat removal and pressure control will be provided.

  • SAWM can be maintainedfor <72 hours SAWM strategy can be implemented but for less than 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> before DW pressure reaches.PCPL or design pressure whichever is lower.

o Under this approach, afunctional description is requiredof how alternate containment heat removal might be establishedbefore DW pressure reaches PCPL or design pressure whichever is lower. Under this approach, physical plant modifications and detailed procedures are required to be implemented to insure achieving alternatecontainment heat removal and pressure control will be providedfor the sustained operatingperiod.

Ref: NEI 13-02 Appendix C.7 BSEP meets the requirements for Option 1 above; SAWM can be maintained for greater than 7 days without the need for a drywell vent to maintain pressure below containment design pressure.

Basis for SAWM time frame Option 1 - SAWM can be maintained greater than or equal to 7 days:

Preliminary BSEP site-specific MAAP 5.02 analysis demonstrates the containment will be protected for a minimum of 7 days without the use of a drywell vent by SAWM in conjunction with the SAWV. (C.7.1.4.1)

Instrumentation relied upon for SAWM operations is Drywell Pressure, Suppression Pool level and SAWA flow.

Planned modifications are that all of these will be powered by the HCVS panel from the 24/48VDC batteries, and then by the FLEX DGs. The FLEX DGs will provide power throughout the Sustained Operation period (7 days).

(C.7.1.4.2, C.8.3.1)

MAAP analysis shows that suppression Pool level indication is maintained throughout the Sustained Operation period, so the HCVS remains in-service. The time to reach the level at which the WW vent must be secured is >7days using SAWM flowrates (C.6.3, C.7.1.4.3)

Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), Unit Nos. 1 and 2 Hardened Containment Venting System (HCVS) Phase 1 and 2 Overall Integrated Plan - December 2015 Attachment 2.1.C: SAWM SAMG Approved Language The following general cautions,priorities and methods will be evaluatedfor plant specific applicability and incorporatedas appropriateinto the plant specific SAMGs using administrativeproceduresfor EPG/SAG change control process and implementation. SAMGs are symptom based guidelines and therefore address a wide variety of possible plant conditions and capabilities while these changes are intended to accommodate those specific conditions assumed in Order EA-13-1 09. The changes will be made in a way that maintains the use of SAMGs in a symptom based mode while at the same time addressingthose conditions that may exist under extended loss of AC power (ELAP) conditions with significantcore damage including ex-vessel core debris.

Actual Approved Language that will be incorporated into site SAMG*

Cautions:

  • Addressing the possible plant response associated with adding water to hot core debris and the resulting pressurization of the primary containment by rapid steam generation.
  • Addressing the plant impact that raising suppression pool water level above the elevation of the suppression chamber vent opening elevation will flood the suppression chamber vent path.

Priorities:

With significant core damage and RPV breach, SAMGs prioritize the preservation of primary containment integrity while limiting radioactivity releases as follows:

  • Water addition is managed to preserve the Mark 1111 suppression chamber vent paths, thereby retaining the benefits of suppression pool scrubbing and minimizing the likelihood of radioactivity and hydrogen release into the secondary containment (SAWM)

Methods:

Identify systems and capabilities to add water to the RPV or drywell, with the following generic guidance:

  • Use controlled injection if possible.
  • Inject into the RPV if possible.
  • Maintain injection from external sources of water as low as possible to preserve suppression chamber vent capability.
  • Actual language may vary by acceptable site procedure standards, but intent and structure should follow this guidance.
