SUBJECT:

RESULTS OF THE BEAVER VALLEY POWER STATION UNIT 1 SDP PHASE 2 NOTEBOOK BENCHMARKING VISIT During July, 2003, NRC staff and contractors visited the Beaver Valley Power Station to compare the Beaver Valley Unit 1 Significance Determination Process (SDP) Phase 2 notebook and licensees risk model results to ensure that the SDP notebook was generally conservative.

The Beaver Valley Unit 1 PRA did include most external initiating events, so sensitivity studies were performed to assess the impact of these initiators on SDP color determinations. In addition, the results from analyses using the NRCs draft Revision 3i Standard Plant Analysis Risk (SPAR) model for Beaver Valley Unit 1 were compared with the licensees risk model. The results of the SPAR model benchmarking effort will be documented in the next revision of the SPAR (revision 3) model documentation.

The benchmarking visit identified that there was a strong correlation between the Phase 2 SDP Notebook and the licensees PRA. The results indicate that the Beaver Valley Unit 1 Phase 2 notebook was generally more conservative in comparison to the licensees PRA. The revision 1 SDP notebook will capture 90 percent (results matched or overestimated the licensees PRA by one order of magnitude) of the risk significance of inspection findings. A summary of the results of comparisons of hypothetical inspection findings between SDP notebook and the licensees PRA are as follows.

1. INTRODUCTION A Benchmarking of the Risk-Informed Inspection Notebook for the Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit 1, to be referred to as BV-1, was conducted during a plant site visit on July 28-August 2, 2003. NRC staff (P. Wilson and W. Schmidt) and BNL staff (P. Samanta) participated in this Benchmarking exercise.

In preparation for the meeting, BNL staff reviewed the SDP notebook for the Beaver Valley Power Station and evaluated a set of hypothetical inspection findings using the Rev. 0 SDP worksheets. In addition, NRC staff provided the licensee with a copy of the meeting protocol.

The major milestones achieved during this meeting were as follows:

1. Recent modifications made to the BV-1 PRA were discussed for consideration in the Rev. 1 model to be prepared following benchmarking.
2. Importance measures, including the Risk Achievement Worths (RAWs) for the basic events in the internal events model for average maintenance, were obtained from the licensee.
3. Benchmarking was conducted using the Rev. 0 SDP model and the revised SDP model considering the licensees input and other modifications that were judged necessary based on comparison of the SDP model and the licensees detailed model.
4. For cases where the color evaluated by the SDP notebook differed from that determined based on the RAW values generated by the updated licensees PRA, results of the licensees base case model including the dominant minimal cutsets were reviewed to understand the reason for the differences.

The Rev. 1 version of the SDP notebook was developed considering the changes identified based on the licensees input and the evaluation of the benchmarking results.

SUMMARY

RESULTS FROM BENCHMARKING Summary of Benchmarking Results Benchmarking of the SDP Notebook for the Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit 1 was conducted comparing the risk significance of the inspection findings obtained using the notebook with that obtained using the plant PRA. The benchmarking identified the hypothetical inspection findings for which the results of the evaluation using the notebook were under or overestimated compared to the plant PRA. Two cases of non-conservative results or underestimations by the notebook (i.e., the significance obtained using the notebook is one color lower than that to be obtained by the plant PRA) were noted. Also, three cases of conservative results by two orders of magnitude (i.e., the significance obtained using the notebook is two colors higher than that to be obtained using the plant PRA) were noted. A summary of the results of the risk characterization of hypothetical inspection findings is as follows:

4% (2 of 47 cases) Non-conservative; underestimation of risk significance (by one order of magnitude) 6% (3 of 47 cases) Conservative; overestimation of risk significance (by two orders of magnitude) 28% (13 of 47 cases) Conservative; overestimation of risk significance (by one order of magnitude) 62% (29 of 47 cases) Consistent risk significance.

Detailed results of Benchmarking are summarized in Table 1. Table 1 consists of eight columns. The first two columns identify the components or the case runs. The assigned colors from the SDP Rev. 0 worksheets without incorporating any modification from the Benchmarking exercise are shown in the third column. The fourth column gives the basic event name in the plant PRA used to obtain the risk achievement worth (RAW) for the component out of service or the failed operator action. The fifth and sixth columns respectively show the licensees internal RAW value and the color to be defined based on the RAW values from the latest PRA model.

The seventh column presents the colors for the inspection findings based on the Rev. 1 version of the notebook. The Rev. 1 version of the notebook is prepared considering the revisions to the Rev. 0 version of the SDP notebook judged applicable during Benchmarking. The last column provides comments identifying the difference in results between the SDP Rev. 1 notebook and the plant PRA, and the applicable rules in obtaining the color of the inspection finding using the SDP notebook.

Table 2 presents a summary of the comparison between the results obtained using the Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit 1 notebook and the plant PRA. It also shows a comparison of the results using the Rev. 0 and Rev. 1 versions of the notebook. The results showed that both underestimations and overestimations by the notebook were reduced and, consequently, matches were increased through revisions to the notebook implemented as a result of Benchmarking. The overestimations were reduced from 41% to 34%, the underestimations were reduced from 12% to 4%, and the matches increased from 47% to 62%. Following benchmarking, the notebook matched or overestimated by one order of magnitude in 90% of the cases evaluated.

Discussion of Non-conservative Results by the Notebook ATTACHMENT A During benchmarking, non-conservative results or underestimation by the notebook compared to the plant PRA were noted for 2 out of the 48 cases analyzed. The reasons for the differences, as identified, are discussed below.

1. Operator failure to provide makeup to RWST was underestimated by one order. The dominant risk contributor for RWST makeup involved steam generator tube rupture sequences. SGTR frequency in the plant PRA was a factor of 5 higher than that assumed in the SDP notebook. SGTR was placed in Row III in the notebook which was equivalent to 1E-3. Also, the HEP for operator failure to isolate the faulted SG in the plant PRA was approximately 3E-2 which was a factor of 3 higher that the operator action credit of 2 in the notebook.
2. Operator failure to conduct emergency boration was underestimated by one order of magnitude. In an ATWS, failure to conduct emergency boration leads to a core damage. In the plant PRA, the ATWS was modeled as part of different initiators and the approximate ATWS frequency was 1.14 E-5. In the SDP notebook, ATWS was placed in Row VI implying a frequency of 1E-6 in the evaluation. This difference in ATWS frequency between the plant PRA and the notebook contributed to the underestimation.

Discussion of Conservative Results by the Notebook Sixteen cases of overestimations or conservative results were noted during the benchmarking.

Of the sixteen cases, three cases were overestimated by two orders of magnitude and the remaining twelve cases were overestimated by one order of magnitude. Since the notebooks are designed to be screening tools and include assumptions that can result in conservative assessment, overestimation by an order of magnitude, i.e., by one color, was not unexpected.

We discuss the overestimation by two orders of magnitude below.

1. An inside RS pump was overestimated by two orders of magnitude compared to the plant PRA. In the plant, Recirculation Spray (RS) function can be provided by 1 of the 4 RS (2 inside RS and 2 outside RS) pumps. Since they have a common electrical dependency, the notebook assigned a credit of 1 multi-train system which is equivalent to an unavailability of 1E-3. In the PRA, the unavailability of the four pumps was approximately two orders of magnitude lower. This difference contributed to the two orders of magnitude overestimation.
2. Outside RS pump was overestimated by two orders of magnitude. The reason for this difference was the same as that discussed for the inside RS pump in item 1 above.
3. 1 RS heat exchanger was overestimated by two orders of magnitude. The reason for this difference was also the same as that discussed for the RS pumps in items 1 and 2 above.

ATTACHMENT A Changes Incorporated Following Benchmarking Resulting in Updating of Benchmarking Results No change was made following benchmarking that resulted in changes to the benchmarking results. However, revised results were obtained from the licensee following benchmarking changing the colors obtained from the plant RAW values. The results are updated using the revised RAWs.

1.2 Loss of 4.2 kV AC Bus initiator was replaced by two initiators: Loss of 4.2 kV AC Bus (orange) (LACO) and Loss of 4.2 kV Bus (purple) (LACP). They were both placed in Row II.

1.3 Loss of Reactor Plant Component Cooling Water (LCCR) was added to Row III.

1.4 Loss of River Water Headers (LRW) was added to Row IV.

2. Changes to Table 2 2.1 RCP seals dependency on charging for seal integrity was included.

2.2 Availability of backup nitrogen for PORVs was moved to a footnote.

3. Changes to Worksheets and Event Trees 3.1 Credit for dedicated feed pump (DFP) was removed from the PCS function and was included as part of the auxiliary feedwater (AFW). The DFP was assigned a credit of 1 train. Credit for recovering the MFW trains was changed to operator action=2 ( from 3). A footnote was added to note that the operation of the DFP does not require a condensate train.

3.2 HPR mitigation capability was revised to include the need for 1/2 QS trains to assure adequate inventory in the sump for the RS pumps.

3.3 RWST makeup capability was modeled as applicable for different transients, SLOCA, and MLOCA scenarios.

3.4 LPR capability was revised to include the need for QS trains similar to HPR, except for LLOCA & MLOCA.

3.5 For the steam relief path, the heat release valve was included.

3.6 In the SLOCA worksheet, use of HRV was included for RCS depressurizations.

Operator action credit for rapid depressurization was changed from 2 to 1, based on plant-specific HEP.

3.7 SORV worksheet was modified similar to SLOCA worksheet.

3.8 Credit for aligning RS pumps for injection in case of failure of LHSI trains was deleted in MLOCA and LLOCA worksheets. High radiation levels pevents such actions.

4. DISCUSSION ON EXTERNAL EVENTS The Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit 1 integrated PRA model includes internal floods, internal fire, and seismic initiators. The CDF in the integrated model including these external initiators was 2.35E-5/reactor-yr. The integrated model was used to assess whether the inclusion of the external initiators will result in increased risk significance for components or operator actions.

The assessment was carried out by evaluating the RAWs for a set of components and operator actions for the model that included the fire and flood initiators and then, comparing them with the RAWs calculated previously for internal initiators.

Table 3 presents the comparisons for the same set of components and operator actions that were used for benchmarking. To obtain the color for the component being out of service or the failed operator action, new thresholds were obtained. A comparison of the RAWs for the internal initiators with those obtained including the external initiators showed that in four cases the color or the risk significance would have increased by an order of magnitude if the risk contributions of external initiators were included. These items are noted in the table.

Although the BVPS Unit 1 SDP notebook does not include external initiators, the team compared the Rev. 1 results of Table 1 against the licensees PRA model including external initiators. In two of the four cases noted above, the notebook would underestimate. These cases are: HHSI pump B and operator failure to rapidly depressurize following failure of HHSI in a SLOCA.
