TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT EXTENDED POWER UPRATE CREDIT FOR CONTAINMENT OVERPRESSURE ACRS CONCERNS Rockville, Maryland May 22, 2008

MEETING PURPOSE

" Review ACRS Concerns - COP

" TVA Approach to ACRS Concerns

" Present BFN Realistic Fire Analysis

" Dry Run ACRS Presentation N-2

ACRS CONCERNS

" Staff ACRS Presentation - COP Satisfactory -

EPU

• February 16, 2007 ACRS Letter COP Concerns

- Too Much - Too Long for Appendix R

- More Defensible Sensitivity Calcs - Long Term LOCA

- Feasibility of Protecting Additional RHR Pump

- Risk-Informed Arguments for Appendix R Should Consider External Initiators

• COP Credit for LOCA, ATWS and SBO Acceptable N-3

APPROACH to ACRS CONCERNS

• Licensing Basis Analysis Complies with Rule

- No Change to Licensing Basis Appendix R

- No Change to EPU Licensing Basis Calculations

" Show Risk of COP is Low

- Use Realistic Deterministic Analysis vs. PRA

- Similar to Information Provided for LOCA, ATWS and SBO N-4

REALISTIC FIRE ANALYSIS Fire Hazards Analysis

- Consistent with Guidance Documents

- NRC Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix F

- NUREG/CR - 6850

- NEI-00-01

- IPEEE FIVE

- 23 of 39 Fire Areas Screen Out o 16 Areas + Control Room Evaluated Further

- Available Equipment and Operator Actions o Current EOI Procedures o COP Not Needed in 15 of 17 Fire Areas N-5

REALISTIC FIRE ANALYSIS Containment Response Analysis - Limiting Case

- Applies to 2/39 Fire Areas o Electrical Board Rooms

- Reactor Emergency Depressurization

- 1 RHR Pump Used for Pool Cooling

- BOP Pumps Used for Core Cooling

- RHR Alternate Shutdown Cooling Not Used

- Revised Vendor NPSH Requirement o Constant 17 Ft for Appendix R duration 70 Hours N-6

BFN Licensing History IIVAI

• Credit for containment overpressure for 105%

OLTP

- LOCA - NRC Bulletin 96-03

- Currently for RHR pumps short-term (< 10 min.)

- Currently for core spray pumps long-term (> 10 min.)

- Credit for COP in Appendix R N-8

BFN ECCS Schematic N-9

NPSH Licensing Basis Analysis EP_.J

• Four events need COP

- LOCA

- ATWS

- SBO

- Appendix R Fire N-10

Effect of Power Uprate IM

• Increase in suppression pool temperature

• LOCA peak suppression pool temperature o 100% OLTP a 177°F o 105% OLTP o 177 to 180°F (dependent on UHS TS limits) o 120% OLTP o3 187 0F N-11

NPSH Licensing Basis Analysis 1jW Elements of NPSH analysis:

" Suppression pool temperature profile

" Elevation head

" ECCS pump flows

• Suction path pressure drop

- Suction piping

- Suction strainer blockage and losses

" Required NPSH

" Wetwell pressure N-12

NPSH Licensing Basis Analysis

• LOCA short term (<10 min.)

- 4 core spray pumps at maximum system flow

- 2 RHR pumps at design LPCI flow to intact recirculation loop

- 2 RHR pumps at maximum system flow to broken loop

- Debris loading on strainers

- RHR and core spray pumps need COP

• LOCA long term (>10 min.)

- 2 core spray pumps at design flow

- 2 RHR pumps at containment cooling flow

- Debris loading on strainers

- Core spray pumps need COP N-13

NPSH Licensing Basis Analysis

• Appendix R Fire

- 1 RHR pump injecting to vessel

- No strainer debris

- RHR pump needs COP N-15

N-16

Realistic NPSH Analysis COP Meets Five Principles of Regulatory Guide 1.174

" Meets current regulations

" Consistent with defense-in-depth philosophy

" Maintains sufficient safety margins

" Results in very small risk increase

" Impact is monitored N-17

Realistic NPSH Analysis PSA model for LOCA, ATWS and SBO

• Probability distribution for suppression pool temperature

" River temperature

• Initial suppression pool temperature

" Suppression pool water level

" Initial power level

" Containment failure and containment leakage probability

• Dependence of ECCS on COP vs. No Dependence

• Very Small Risk Increase for LOCA, ATWS and SBO

• ACDF/ALERF 2.4E-8/yr Well within acceptance guidelines for ACDF and ALERF N-18

REALISTIC FIRE ANALYSIS Fire Hazards Analysis

- 23/39 Fire Areas Screened Out o No Fire Damage o 16 Areas + Control Room Evaluated Further

- Available Equipment and Operator Actions Identified o Current EOI Procedures o 15/17 Areas Do Not Need COP

- 2 Areas Require Some COP - Limiting Case o 1 RHR PUMP/Heat Exchanger for Containment Cooling o BOP Pumps for Core Cooling o Significant COP Margin Available N-19

Realistic NPSH Analysis

• COP only required for LOCA with specific single failures

° COP not required for ATWS with best estimate code

• Small amount of COP required for Fire Event in warm weather

• COP not required for station blackout for 3 hour3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> vs.

Summary

" Licensing basis NPSH analyses are conservative

" Overpressure credit in-line with industry

" Realistic analyses show reduced or no dependency on COP

" Very low risk following ACRS guidance N-22
