The purpose of this letter is to provide revisions to data results and conclusions contained within References 1, 2, 3, and 4 regarding the Severe Accident Management Design Alternatives (SAMDA) analysis. These revisions stem from a misinterpretation of the consequence model output for total person-rem for each of several assessed release categories and from two less significant source term errors.
The Enclosure summarizes the changes, the impacts on SAMA evaluations, and the responses to RAIs. Specifically, the following tables are revised:

Enclosure 1 Revised Results/Conclusion to Previous Watts Bar Unit 2 SAMDA Responses
ENCLOSURE 1 RESPONSE TO NRC REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Following the response to RAIs up to and including the TVA submittal of June 27, 2011, an error was discovered by NRC and confirmed by ABS in the interpretation of the MACCs output for total person-rem for each of the assessed release categories. This error underestimated the total person-rem computed, thereby requiring a reanalysis of the identified SAMAs with the corrected person-rem values. The total person-rem exposures are one type of input to the total consequences evaluated in units of dollars for each release category. Direct economic costs are another type of input and this other type constitutes the greatest contribution to total consequence costs. Further independent checking resulted in a change to the computed source terms for release category case, Early 1B and an insignificant reduction in the source terms for release category case, Early 2A. All of these changes have been corrected and the resulting SAMA cost-benefit analysis reevaluated. The changes in results are documented in the form of a succinct statement of changes to the SAMA analysis submittals; i.e. the original SAMA report submitted in October, 2011 and all subsequent responses to RAIs.
The following summarizes the changes, the impacts on SAMA evaluations, and the responses to RAIs. In some cases, tables presented in one submittal were reviewed in later responses to RAIs.
In the summary below, only changes to the last submitted table are provided. When these revised tables were presented in earlier submittals, a cross-reference is provided to the final tables documented herein. The changes are presented in chronological order by submittal date of the past SAMAs reports, beginning with the submittal of October 2010.
Submittal of October 4, 2010 The findings of a review of the October 4, 2010 submittal of the Watts Bar Unit 2 Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives report to account for correcting the total person-rem computed for each release category are provided below. A number of tables which initially appeared in the October 4, 2010 submittal must be updated to reflect these changes. Some of these tables have already been updated previously in response to subsequent RAIs on the October 4, 2010 submittal. The following cross-reference table directs the reader to the updated table numbers and the associated submittal date under which heading below, the final, updated table may be found.

RAI Response Submittal of January 31, 2011 4
The findings of a review of the January 31, 2011 submittal in response to RAIs to account for correcting the total person-rem computed for each release category are provided below.
TVAs responses to items 1 through 2 of this submittal have been reviewed and concluded to be unchanged by correcting the total person-rem computed for each release category.
For item 3, a number of Tables which initially appeared in the January 31, 2011 submittal must be updated to reflect these changes. Some of these tables have subsequently been updated in response to later RAIs. These include Tables 2.a.iv-4 and 2.a.iv-6, which were last updated in the RAI response submittal of June 17, 2011; i.e. see the updated tables under that heading below.
Additionally, Tables 2.a.iv-7 through 2.a.iv-11, Table 4.d-2 and 5.c-1 are changed as a result of correcting the total person-rem computed for each release category. These updated tables are presented below.
Item 4a of this submittal concerns the identification and screening of candidate SAMAs. TVA used the basic event RRW values to CDF and to LERF to identify the key basic events for purposes of identification of candidate SAMAs. RRW cutoffs for identification were justified on the basis of the maximum averted cost risk (MACR) at that time and minimum costs applicable for training ($26,773) and for hardware fixes ($100,000). The cutoffs selected previously are modified here to reflect the changed MACR values after correcting the total person-rem computed for each release category.
Submittal date CDF LERF Training/ HRA Hardware Training/ HRA Hardware
$26,773 $100,000 $26,773 $100,000 1/31/2011 1.007 1.026 1.0293 1.117 September 2011 1.006 1.0227 1.0437 1.1817 A revision to Table 4.a.i-1, presenting the basic events with RRW greater than 1.006 is provided below. For CDF, four additional basic events are identified as having RRWs between 1.026 and 1.022; i.e. DGGFD2GEN_0822B-B, MTM_2GEN_0822B-B, U0_ERCW_PMP_FR_CCF_IE_ALL, and HAERCW3. All of these events were already evaluated for potential SAMAs in Table 4ai-1 of the January 31, 2011 submittal. No additional SAMAs are therefore identified for hardware fixes contributing to CDF at the revised RRW screening value.
For operator training and HRA related basic events contributing to CDF, two new HRA related basic events of lower importance now just exceed the lower RRW threshold of 1.006. These events are dependent HRA combinations named HRADEP-POST-293 and HRADEP-POST-193.
Three of the human actions which are included in these two dependent action groups have already been evaluated for potential improvements; i.e. for actions HARR1, HAFR1 and AFWOP3. The remaining human action event, used in both of these two dependent action combinations was not previously evaluated for potential SAMAs; i.e. HAMU2B - Makeup to 5
RWST using containment spray test recirculation from the containment sump during a small LOCA. This action outside the control room has an HEP value of 5E-3. The contributors to this human error probability are both from cognitive errors (3.1E-03) and from execution errors (1.9E-03). The cues and indications for this action are good and procedure ECA-1.1, Appendix C is clear in its direction of the action. A new SAMA, number 340, is defined here to improve the error rate for action HAMU2B by additional training.
As a Phase 1 screening analysis, we note that this new SAMA is at best marginal because even if the entire benefits of eliminating this error rate were obtained, the cost-benefit would be just
$26,773 considering the 2.28 multiplier and the 2.7 uncertainty on the CDF frequency. More likely the training should address both operations staff (to reduce the cognitive error rate) and those performing the action locally (execution errors). Further, the same procedure (ECA-1.1, step 10b) directs the operators to notify the TSC to evaluate transferring water to the RWST from other sources. These backup actions are not yet credited in the PRA model. Therefore, accounting for these other water sources as a means to lowering the 5E-3 error rate would further reduce the perceived benefit. New SAMA 340 is therefore considered screened on very low benefit.
For the LERF metric, the above RRW cutoff comparison table shows that the minimum RRW factors have increased from the previous evaluation. This is because the offsite exposure and offsite economic data from the October 4, 2011 used in the previous evaluation of these factors has changed. While the offsite economic costs for the early release category have gone up since the October 4, 2011 submittal, the offsite economic costs for the bypass release category have gone down by a greater amount. The latest consequence values for release categories were used in computing the revised RRW cutoffs. As a result, it now takes a greater change in LERF frequency to obtain the same benefit. Since the basic events with the lower LERF RRWs were evaluated for potential SAMAs in the January 31, 2011 submittal, no further potential SAMAs to reduce LERF need be postulated here. Table 4.a.ii-1 is unchanged and, therefore, not repeated here.
The RAI responses to item 4b (WBN1 IPE insights), item 4c (IPEEE seismic review screening),
item 4d (FIVE related SAMAs) , item 4e (Phase I screening justifications), item 4f (internal flood prevention), item 4g (SAMA 242 screening), and item 4h (SAMA 296 screening) are all confirmed after correcting the total person-rem computed for each release category. The Phase I screening documented in Table 16 of the October 4, 2010 submittal is accurate as is and need not be updated.
For item 5, the conclusions of the Phase II cost-benefit calculations are unchanged. Tables summarizing the numerical changes caused by correcting the total person-rem computed for each release category are provided below. Table 2.a.iv-10 shows that the cost-benefit ratio for SAMA 93 went up from 0.95 to 1.08 and for SAMA 70 from 0.93 to 1.06. for the 95% CDF sensitivity case. However, these two SAMAs are already being addressed. The benefits of SAMA 70 will be reduced by TVAs commitment to implement SAMA 339. SAMA 93 will be evaluated further should SAMA 58 not prove reliable.
For item 6, the conclusions regarding the Phase I screening when considering the 95% results for 6
both CDF and LERF are unchanged after correcting for the total person-rem computed for each release category.
For item 7, the response is affirmed.
The list of 10 commitments in Enclosure 2 to this submittal is again affirmed. One exception is that for item 1, addressing SAMA 58. This commitment is restated as a revised commitment in enclosure 2 to the RAI response submittal of May 25, 2011. This restatement of the commitment is unrelated to correcting the total person-rem computed for each release category.

The fire department at Watts Bar is a dedicated organization that responds to fires on site and maintains the majority of the fire protection equipment. The fire response organization is staffed and equipped for firefighting activities. The fire brigade is comprised of a fire brigade leader and four fire brigade members (minimum). The fire brigade shall not include the Shift Manager or the other members of the minimum shift crew necessary for safe shutdown of the unit, nor any personnel required for other essential functions during a fire emergency. Additional support is available when needed through an agreement with a local fire department (s). The fire brigade composition may be less than the minimum requirements for a period of time not to exceed two hours, in order to accommodate unexpected absence, provided immediate action is taken to fill the required positions.
The fire department already schedules quarterly fire drills for each rotating shift crew in specific fire areas. Each drill includes a formal critique to evaluate the effectiveness of the fire brigade in responding to a simulated fire emergency. The drills conducted have already included 8 of the 9 areas with relatively high screening values in the final FIVE screening analysis. The one area for which no drills have been conducted is AB 786 RA, which has minimal combustibles; i.e., less than 5 minute fire. Both announced and unannounced drills are conduced to fulfill NRC, OSHA, and NEIL training requirements. Abnormal operating instruction series AOI-30.2 is to direct the actions to be carried out for all Appendix R cooldowns. The steps required are listed as a function of the room in which the fire occurs. Further, fire pre-plans are developed for each fire area to facilitate fire fighting. These pre-plans contain the following types of information laid out on an easy to read room diagram; primary and secondary access routes, stairs and fire related barriers, safe shutdown equipment locations, hose stations, installed fire suppression systems, and locked access locations.

RAI Response Submittal of May 13, 2011 TVAs responses to items 1 through 16 have been reviewed and concluded to be unchanged by correcting the total person-rem computed for each release category. With regard to item 12 (RAI 5.e), the previous response recognized that SAMA 70 would exceed a cost-benefit ratio of 1.0 if an uncertainty multiplier of 2.78 were assumed. This exceedance is now slightly greater because of the change correcting the total person-rem computed for each release category. This SAMA 70 has, however, been superseded by TVAs commitment to implement SAMA 339.
The list of commitments in enclosure 2 is also unchanged.

RAI Response Submittal of May 25, 2011 TVAs responses to items 2 through 3 have been reviewed and concluded to be unchanged by correcting the total person-rem computed for each release category.
The TVA response to item 5 has been reviewed and some discussion is offered to the response for part b. Correcting the total person-rem computed for each release category required a change to the maximum averted cost risk (MACR). The changes offered caused the SAMA 93 cost benefit ratio to go from just below 1.0 to slightly greater than 1.0 for the CDF 95th percentile sensitivity case. However, the potential benefits of implementing SAMA 93 are also addressed by SAMA 58. Hence, the existing commitment in enclosure 2 to the May 25, 2011 submittal adequately addresses this potentially cost beneficial SAMA.
Furthermore, the next highest benefit-cost ratio SAMA in the revised Table 2.a.iv-10, is SAMA 255 with a 95th percentile ratio of 0.70. If the 2.78 95th percentile multiplier is used instead of the 2.7, then SAMA 255 would have a benefit-cost ratio of 0.72.
Therefore, all remaining SAMAs are well below the 1.0 benefit-cost ratio using the 2.78 95th percentile multiplier and no other SAMA conclusions would change.
Part f of item 5 gives a breakdown of contributions to the MACR. This table is updated and presented below as Table 2.a.iv.f.
The response to item 15 (RAI 6) also involves changes to Tables 15-1 and 15-2. The updated tables are presented below. Table 15-3 summarizes a Phase 1 rescreening of the SAMAs which were screened because of Excessive Cost of Very Low Benefit. Table 15-3 has been reviewed in light of correcting the total person-rem computed for each release category and the conclusions found to be unchanged.
The list of commitments in enclosure 2 is also unchanged.
