Changed the time constraint for aligning the ERCS make-up pump suction to the BASTs from 16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br /> to approximately 21 hours2.430556e-4 days <br />0.00583 hours <br />3.472222e-5 weeks <br />7.9905e-6 months <br /> due to increased pump size.
- 4. Changed the total injection time for the ERCS make-up pump to meet the boration requirement from approximately 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> to approximately 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> due to increased pump size.
Enclosure 1 PG&E Letter DCL-14-076 Page 4 of 28
- 5. Changed the ERCS make-up pump size from 10 gallons per minute (gpm) to 30 gpm to increase time available before implementation.
(c) Item (25): Deleted the action for establishing battery room ventilation.
As discussed in PG&E's response to 049-RAI-DCPP-063, PG&E Calculation HVAC 83-46, "Battery Rooms Exhaust During a LOOP and/or Loss of Class II Ventilation System," Revision 0, evaluates the effectiveness of the plant's ventilation ducts removing hydrogen from the battery rooms using only natural ventilation. The calculation concludes that under both design basis summer and winter conditions, with airflow only through the supply and exhaust vents with no fans running, there is sufficient natural ventilation to maintain the battery rooms at a hydrogen concentration of less than 1 percent by volume with no operator action. Therefore, Item (25) is not required.
(d) Item (26): Changed the time constraint for placing the emergency auxiliary feedwater (EAFW) pump and RWR equipment in service from 31 hours3.587963e-4 days <br />0.00861 hours <br />5.125661e-5 weeks <br />1.17955e-5 months <br /> to 41 hours4.74537e-4 days <br />0.0114 hours <br />6.779101e-5 weeks <br />1.56005e-5 months <br /> based on revision to PG&E Calculation RE-20111111, "Coping Time Estimates for IER L 1-11-4.

PG&E will confirm that the performance of SHIELD reactor coolant pump (RCP) low-leakage seals, following the redesign, will not preclude personnel entry into the containment to allow manual actions to be taken or result in additional heat added to containment in Modes 1 through 4 than was assumed in the extended loss of alternating current power event containment integrity analysis.
Status: This item is complete. The SHIELD RCP low-leakage seal redesign was completed and submitted to the NRC in Westinghouse Technical Reports TR-FSE-14-1-P, Revision 1 and TR-FSE-14-1-NP, Revision 1, "Use of
Enclosure 1 PG&E Letter DCL-14-076 Page 17 of 28 Westinghouse SHIELD Passive Shutdown Seal for FLEX Strategies," dated March 19, 2014, and April 22, 2014, respectively. This document was endorsed by the NRC on May 28, 2014, ADAMS Accession No. ML14132A128. The redesigned SHIELD RCP low-leakage seals will not preclude personnel entry into the containment to allow manual actions to be taken or result in additional heat added to containment in Modes 1 through 4 than was assumed in the ELAP event containment integrity analysis.
049-RAI-DCPP-043:
The suction hose connected to the RWR pump and dropped into the RWRs will have a strainer. PG&E will provide additional information on the strainer design.
Status: This item is complete. A strainer installed on the suction of the RWR pump will prevent any debris that could adversely impact FLEX equipment from entering the line that supplies the suction header.
- 8. Interim Staff Evaluation Open and Confirmatory Item Updates The following provides PG&E's response to the NRC Interim Staff Evaluation open item and confirmatory items. Open item and confirmatory items identified as completed in Reference 3 require no further update:
Confirmatory Item 3.1.1.1.A:
The licensee's response to the NRC audit process noted that both FLEX equipment storage locations may be subject to seismically-induced small landslide debris flows, which will be accommodated into the design of the facilities. Confirm incorporation of the capability to withstand seismically-induced small landslide debris flow.
Response: PG&E will evaluate the capability of FLEX equipment storage locations to withstand seismically-induced small landslide debris flow and provide requested confirmation in a future six-month status update.
Confirmatory Item 3.1.1.4.A (049-RAI-DCPP-006):
Off-Site Resources- Confirm RRC local staging area, evaluation of access routes, and method of transporlation to the site.
Response: PG&E will confirm RRC local staging area, evaluation of access routes, and method of transportation to the site in a future six-month update.
Enclosure 1 PG&E Letter DCL-14-076 Page 18 of28 Confirmatory Item 3.2.1.A:
NE/12-06, Section 3.2.1.5, on reactor coolant inventory loss, states sources of expected reactor coolant inventory loss includes ((losses from letdown unless automatically isolated or until isolation is procedurally directed." Provide discussion and/or analysis regarding letdown losses.
Response: PG&E will provide a discussion and/or analysis regarding letdown in a future six-month status update.
Confirmatory Item 3.2.1.8:
RCS cooling and heat removal, and RCS inventory control- The licensee provided information regarding the analysis from WCAP-17601 applicable to OCPP in response to NRC staff requests. The NRC staff is continuing to review this information to ensure the licensee sufficiently justifies the analysis being applied. Additional information may be needed to confirm appropriate use of the analysis.
Response: PG&E notes that the NRC Staff is continuing to review information regarding the analysis from WCAP-17601 applicable to Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) in response to NRC Staff requests. PG&E will provide additional information, if required, in a future six-month status update.
Confirmatory Item 3.2.1.2.A:
Provide justification (to include the applicable analysis and relevant sea/leakage testing data) that the integrity of the associated 0-rings will be maintained at the temperature conditions experienced during the ELAP event.
Response: This item is complete. The SHIELD RCP low-leakage seal redesign was completed and submitted to the NRC in Westinghouse Technical Reports TR-FSE-14-1-P, Revision 1 and TR-FSE-14-1-NP, Revision 1, "Use of Westinghouse SHIELD Passive Shutdown Seal for FLEX Strategies," dated March 19, 2014, and April22, 2014, respectively. This document was endorsed by the NRC on May 28, 2014, ADAMS Accession No. ML14132A128. It is identified in these technical reports that the SHIELD RCP low-leakage seals and associated 0-rings are able to perform their functions at RCS cold leg temperatures at or below 571 °F. As described in the DCPP Updated Final Safety Report, Table 4.1-1, the operating temperatures for the cold leg are 544.5°F for Unit 1 and 545.1 oF for Unit 2. As these temperatures are below the design requirement temperatures for the SHIELD RCP low-leakage seals, the integrity of the associated 0-rings will be maintained at the temperature conditions experienced during the ELAP event.
Enclosure 1 PG&E Letter DCL-14-076 Page 19 of 28 Confirmatory Item 3.2.1.2.8:
Some Westinghouse plants have installed or will install the SHIELD shutdown seals, or other types of low leakage seals and have credited or will credit a low sea/leakage rate (e.g., 1 gpm!sea/) in the ELAP analyses for the RCS response. Information should be provided to address the impacts of the Westinghouse 10 CFR Part 21 report,
((Notification of the Potential Existence of Defects Pursuant to 10 CFR Part 21," dated July 26, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13211A168) on the use of the low seal leakage rate in the ELAP analysis.
Response: This item is complete. The SHIELD RCP low-leakage seal redesign was completed and submitted to the NRC in Westinghouse Technical Reports TR-FSE-14-1-P, Revision 1 and TR-FSE-14-1-NP, Revision 1, "Use of Westinghouse SHIELD Passive Shutdown Seal for FLEX Strategies," dated March 19, 2014, and April 22, 2014, respectively. This document was endorsed by the NRC on May 28, 2014, ADAMS Accession No. ML14132A128. The SHIELD RCP low-leakage seals have been redesigned since the issuance of the Westinghouse 10 CFR Part 21 report, and it is recommended to assume a constant seal leakage rate of 1 gpm/pump for the re-designed SHIELD RCP seals, as identified in Item 4 of the TR-FSE-12-1-P/NP NRC document endorsement letter. Although the seal leakage may be higher than 1 gpm/pump before shutdown seal actuation, actuation would occur approximately 10 minutes after the initiating event, which is negligible compared to the 168-hour duration of the ELAP event (see TR-FSE-12-1-P/NP NRC endorsement letter).
Confirmatory Item 3.2.1.2.C:
Should the seals be changed to the newly designed Generation 3 SHIELD seals or non-Westinghouse seals, the licensee should address the acceptability of the use of the newly designed Generation 3 SHIELD seals or non-Westinghouse seals and justification for the RCP sea/leakages rates for use in the ELAP analysis.
Response: This item is complete. The SHIELD RCP low-leakage seal redesign was completed and submitted to the NRC in Westinghouse Technical Reports TR-FSE-14-1-P, Revision 1 and TR-FSE-14-1-NP, Revision 1, "Use of Westinghouse SHIELD Passive Shutdown Seal for FLEX Strategies," dated March 19, 2014, and April 22, 2014, respectively. This document was endorsed by the NRC on May 28, 2014, ADAMS Accession No. ML14132A128.
TR-FSE-12-1-P/NP recommends assuming a constant seal leakage rate of 1 gpm/pump for the redesigned SHIELD RCP seals. Although the seal leakage may be higher than 1 gpm/pump before shutdown seal actuation, actuation would occur approximately 10 minutes after the initiating event, which is negligible compared to the 168-hour duration of the ELAP event (see TR-FSE-12-1-P/NP NRC endorsement letter).
Enclosure 1 PG&E Letter DCL-14-076 Page 20 of 28 Confirmatory Item 3.2.1.4.A:
The licensee used the Modular Accident Analysis Program (MAAP) code in performing its ELAP analyses. Aspects of the MAAP code analyses, such as boundary conditions, nodalization, and the selection of code options for modeling key physical phenomena, were not discussed in the Integrated Plan. Provide an understanding of the above issues to assess the technical adequacy of the code and determining the code's range of applicability.
Response: PG&E will provide information on the Modular Accident Analysis Program (MAAP) code used in performing the ELAP analysis to show the technical adequacy of the code and the code's range of applicability in a future six-month status update.
Confirmatory Item 3.2.1.6.A:
On pages 70 through 73 in the Integrated Plan, the licensee listed elapsed times and time constraints in different columns in Attachment 1A (sequence of events timeline).
The review determined that the times listed in the elapsed time column and the time constraint column often are the same and provide no margin between the elapsed time and the time constraint time. Provide clarification on how early a step must be begun to meet the time constraint, when the licensee actually expects to begin performing the step, and information *on what margin exists for these critical actions, and whether the time can be reasonably met.
Response: PG&E will provide clarification on how early a step must be begun to meet the time constraint, when it is expected to begin performing the step, information on what margin exists for these critical actions, and whether the time can be reasonably met in a future six-month status update.
Confirmatory Item 3.2.4.3.A (049-RAI-DCPP-071 ):
Heat Tracing- The licensee is considering a minimum design temperature of 24 degrees F. As a result, the effect of the lower temperature on the BASTs is being re-evaluated.
Response: This item is complete. In the evaluation for the impact of a minimum design temperature of 24 oF, PG&E determined that piping containing the high concentration of boric acid from the BASTs would be subject to limited precipitation, but that this precipitation would not impact the ability to inject water into the RCS; the BASTs themselves would not be impacted. The installed heat trace for the piping system is not required for the amount of limited precipitation that may occur.
Enclosure 1 PG&E Letter DCL-14-076 Page 21 of 28 Confirmatory Item 3.2.4.4.A:
Communications- Confirm that upgrades to the site's communications systems have been completed.
Response: PG&E will confirm the completion of the upgrades to the site's communications systems in a future six-month status update.
Confirmatory Item 3.2.4.6.A:
Confirm personnel protective measures for operator protection should entry into the TDAFW pump room be necessary following an ELAP.
Response: This item is complete. As shown in PG&E Calculation M-912, the temperature of the turbine-driven auxiliary feedwater (TDAFW) pump room would increase over time after a loss of all HVAC. As the FLEX strategies require hose routes to pass through this room, personnel will be required to pass through the high temperature area of the TDAFW pump room. Personnel would not be in the room for extended times or performing work in the room. The estimated time of exposure to the high temperatures is less than one minute, and would not impact the personnel's ability to implement this strategy. Therefore, no personnel protective measures are required for entry into the TDAFW pump room.
Confirmatory Item 3.2.4.8.A:
Confirm protective features of the Class 1E circuit breaker will be evaluated by engineering calculation to adequately protect the bus, and that all load breakers be disabled (de switch open) prior to energizing the 4-KV bus with FLEX DG.
Response: PG&E will confirm protective features of the Class 1E circuit breaker will be evaluated by engineering calculation to adequately protect the bus, and that all load breakers be disables (de switch open) prior to engineering the 4-kilovolt (kV) bus with FLEX diesel generator in a future six-month status update.
Confirmatory Item 3.2.4.1 O.A:
The licensee has not informed the NRC of their plan to abide by the generic resolution related to extended battery duty cycles, or their plans to address potential plant-specific issues associated with implementing this resolution.
Response: PG&E will provide its plan to abide by the generic resolution related to extended battery duty cycles, or plans to address potential plant-specific issues associated with implementing this resolution, in a future six-month status update.
Enclosure 1 PG&E Letter DCL-14-076 Page 22 of 28 Confirmatory Item 3.4.A:
NEI12-06, Section 12.21ists minimum capabilities for offsite resources for which each Licensee should establish the availability. Discuss implementation of Guidelines 2 through 10 in NEI12-06, Section 12.2.
Response: PG&E will discuss the implementation of Guidelines 2 through 10 in NEI 12-06, Section 12.2, in a future six-month status update.

PG&E has determined that the OSC communications capability will not require a radio console. Communications capability will be met through the use of portable hand held radios and the radios in the beyond-design-basis (BOB) communications trailers.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Letter, "Request for Information Pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 50.54(f) Regarding Recommendations 2.1, 2.3, and 9.3, of the Near-Term Task Force Review of Insights from the Fukushima Oai-ichi Accident," dated March 12, 2012, required licensees to provide an assessment of current communications systems and equipment used during an emergency to identify any enhancements that may be needed to ensure communications are maintained during a large scale natural event. Existing and new BOB communications equipment credited in PG&E Letter OCL-12-110 meet the NRC's requirement to maintain communications capability during a large scale natural event.
PG&E intended to relocate the radios, batteries, and chargers to the OSC. PG&E has decided to relocate the radios, batteries, and chargers to a FLEX storage facility.
PG&E has determined that the equipment in the OSC will not require a portable diesel generator for the OSC to power communications equipment and lights because the BOB communications equipment has back-up power sources. The NRC Letter required licensees to identify any planned or potential improvements to existing communications systems and their required normal and/or back-up power supplies. The strategy to repower communications equipment, for a 24-hour duration, is adequately met using spare batteries and the BOB communications trailer.
The radios, batteries, and chargers will be relocated to a FLEX storage facility as part of Phase 2, which is scheduled for October 27, 2015. Refer to Communications Item 3 for a status of the procurement of the additional radios, batteries, and chargers.
