In Reference 1, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) submitted a request for exemption from the provisions of 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, Section III.G, "Fire Protection of Safe Shutdown Capability," for the use of operator manual actions for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (PBAPS), Units 2 and 3, in lieu of the requirements specified in Section III.G.2.
In Reference 2, the NRC requested additional information in order to complete its evaluation of the exemption request. The attachment to this letter provides a restatement of the questions along with Exelon's response.
Response to Request for Additional Information 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, Section III.G.2 Exemption Request Docket Nos. 50-277 and 50-278 May 1, 2008 Page 2 Exelon has determined that the information provided in response to the request for additional information does not impact the conclusions of the original exemption request as stated in Reference 1.

Docket Nos. 50-277 and 50-278 Page 1 of 12 ATTACHMENT RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 10 CFR 50, APPENDIX R, SECTION III.G.2 EXEMPTION REQUEST In Reference 1, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) submitted a request for exemption from the provisions of 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, Section III.G, Fire Protection of Safe Shutdown Capability," for the use of operator manual actions for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (PBAPS), Units 2 and 3, in lieu of the requirements specified in Section III.G.2.
In Reference 2, the NRC requested additional information in order to complete its evaluation of the exemption request. The questions are restated below along with Exelon's response.
RAI-01) Provide a cross-reference for all actions submitted in Attachment 2 of the exemption request with those listed in Table A-4, Revision 3. This cross-reference should include, the fire affected component number, its system, its name, and the fire area it is located in. For the component that is to be operated, include its number, its system, its name, the fire area it is located in, and a brief description of the action required to be taken at the component. Also, include the original approved description of the action, and any differences between the approved action and the submitted action (number, name, system designation, fire area, description of action).
Response
A cross-reference for the actions submitted in Attachment 2 of the exemption request (Reference 1) with those listed in Table A-4, Revision 3, of the PBAPS Fire Protection Program (FPP) is provided in the attached table. The first column of the table contains a cross-reference to the Revision 3 FPP Table A-4 as requested. The cross-reference column contains the component number that is contained in the first column of the Revision 3 FPP Table A-4. Note that there are a number of actions listed in the Revision 3 FPP Table A-4 that are not included in the exemption request. The source of the information used to create Revision 3 FPP Table A-4 considered all actions that were identified as "manual" which included cold shutdown items, repairs, and actions for alternate shutdown areas (such as the control room).
The second column describes the purpose of the action, which explains why the action is to be performed. The third column addresses the fire affected component and system. The fourth column lists the initiating fire area, which could also be called the originating fire area. This is the fire area(s) in which the postulated fire occurs that requires the operator manual action.
The fifth column describes the action to be taken by the operator. In several cases, the action from Revision 3 FPP Table A-4 is divided into separate tasks for clarity. Also, in several cases, an additional task from that listed in the Revision 3 FPP Table A-4 is specified. The additional task is listed when the task is performed in a different room from the main action. This was done to identify the areas in which the manual actions are performed. This is an enhancement to the level of detail provided in Revision 3 FPP Table A-4, and is not a new action that did not previously exist. The sixth column identifies the location(s) where the operator manual actions are performed. The room description, room number and fire area number are provided. The "Notes" column lists the applicable notes for that row. The notes are provided at the end of the table.
Response to Requests for Additional Information Attachment 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, Section III.G.2 Exemption Request Page 2 of 12 Docket Nos. 50-277 and 50-278 RAI-02) Attachment 1,Section II, asserts that the basis for the exemption request per 10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(ii) is that the referenced manual actions have already been found acceptable by the NRC in a prior SER. Describe the specific special circumstances that justify why application of the regulation does not meet the underlying purpose of the rule. Alternatively, provide other bases for the special circumstances.
Response
The intent of 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, Section III.G.2, is to ensure that one train of systems necessary to achieve and maintain hot shutdown will remain available in the event of a fire. The manual actions discussed in the original exemption request (Reference 1) and the response to RAI-01 provide that assurance. If manual actions are not used to meet the underlying purpose of the rule, modifications to provide additional fire suppression systems, detection systems, or fire barriers would be required to achieve compliance. Such modifications represent an unwarranted burden on Exelon since they are not necessary to meet the underlying purpose of the rule. Therefore, the special circumstances for issuance of the exemption are satisfied in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(ii), since application of the rule is not necessary to achieve the underlying purpose of the rule.

Response to Request for Additional Information Attachment 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, Section III.G.2 Exemption Request Page 12 of 12 Docket Nos. 50-277 and 50-278 TABLE NOTES Note 1: Fire Area 57 was originally part of Fire Area 2 and was subsequently made a separate Fire Area.
Note 2: This action has been slightly modified from that described in the original submittal to make the action simpler to perform, but the action location, timing and outcome are the same. The original action was to reach inside the logic cabinet and physically manipulate a relay. A plug-in switch was fabricated so the operator would not have to handle an energized relay. The outcome is the same (the relay is actuated).
Note 3: Fire Area 58 was originally part of Fire Area 2 and was subsequently made a separate Fire Area.
Note 4: When the T-300 Fire Guides were developed, an initial step of verification of the breaker position (closed) of the alternate power source was added. Appendix R permits the assumption that equipment that is not fire affected will be in its expected position. So verification of this breaker position is not required for Appendix R compliance. Operations determined that they wanted to add a step to verify the position of the breaker as a precaution. This extra step was added to this Table since the action is performed in a different fire area than the steps associated with operating the switch. It is important to show that all actions taken by the operators are not in the same fire area where the fire is postulated.
Note 5: Fire Area 2 was omitted from the table in Revision 3. Fire Area 2 is listed in the revision 0, 1 and 2 tables. Fire Area 2 (which subsequently was split into Fire Area 2, 57 and 58) fire guide has always contained the attachment to transfer 125 VDC battery charger 2DD003 from the normal to the backup source.
Note 6: Fire Area 4 no longer credits use of this manual action.
Note 7: The action to manually open MO-2486 and MO-3486 (physically open the valve at the valve itself) is performed in the same fire area as the initiating fire area. There is 150 minutes (2.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br />) between the start of the event and when the valve is to be opened. A fire in the Cardox Room will be extinguished and the smoke vented from the area long before the action needs to be performed. The operators will not have any delay or need SCBA to perform this action.
General Note: Table A-4 Revision 3 was a summary of information that was in the Peach Bottom Cable/Raceway analysis. This program deleted a "zero" that padded many component numbers, and some hyphens. The component number provided in the above table matches the component nomenclature that is used in the post-fire shutdown fire guides, safe shutdown calculations and plant labels.
