J. M. Farley EA-12-049 (FLEX) Overall Integrated Implementation Plan February 27, 2013 Page 5 of 72 Introduction The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Order EA-12-049, Issuance of Order to Modify Licenses with Regard to Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events, on March 12, 2012. This order imposes the need for guidance and strategies to prevent fuel damage in the reactor and spent fuel pool (SFP) with a loss of power, motive force and normal access to the Ultimate Heat Sink (UHS) which affect all units at a site simultaneously. The Order is based on Recommendation 4.2 of SECY-11-0093, Recommendations for Enhancing Reactor Safety in the 21st Century, the Near-Term Task Force Review of Insights from the Fukushima Dai-ichi Accident.

NRC Order EA-12-049 requires a three-phased approach for mitigating beyond-design-basis external events. The initial phase requires the use of installed equipment and resources to maintain or restore core cooling, containment integrity, and SFP inventory. The transition phase requires providing sufficient, portable, onsite equipment and consumables to maintain or restore these functions until they can be accomplished with resources brought from offsite. The final phase requires obtaining sufficient offsite resources to sustain those functions indefinitely. The three-phased approach outlined by the NRC is consistent with the industry proposal for a Diverse and Flexible Mitigation Capability (FLEX). The Order also requires submittal of an overall integrated plan which will provide a description of how the requirements of the Order will be achieved.

The NRC provided additional details of an acceptable approach for complying with Order EA-12-049 with Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) (JLD-ISG-2012-01) issued in August 2012. The ISG endorses the FLEX approach presented in NEI 12-06 Revision 0, Diverse and Flexible Coping Strategies (FLEX)

Implementation Guide, with clarifications.

This integrated plan provides the J. M. Farley Nuclear Plant (FNP) Units 1 and 2 approach for complying with Order EA-12-049 using the methods described in NRC JLD-ISG-2012-01. Six month progress reports will be provided consistent with the requirements of Order EA-12-049 and the guidance in NEI 12-06.

J. M. Farley EA-12-049 (FLEX) Overall Integrated Implementation Plan February 27, 2013 Page 6 of 72 General Integrated Plan Elements (PWR & BWR)

Section 1: Determine Applicable Hazards Determine Applicable Extreme External Hazard Ref: NEI 12-06 Section 4.0 -9.0 JLD-ISG-2012-01 Section 1.0 Input the hazards applicable to the site; seismic, external flood, high winds, snow, ice, cold, high temps.

Describe how NEI 12-06 sections 5 - 9 were applied and the basis for why the plant screened out for certain hazards.

The applicable extreme external hazards for Farley Nuclear Plant (FNP or Farley) are seismic, ice, high winds and high temperature as detailed below:

Seismic Hazard Assessment:

Per the Farley Unit 1 (FNP-1) and Farley Unit 2 (FNP-2) Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR)

(Reference 1) Section 2.5, the seismic criteria for FNP include two design basis earthquake spectra:

Operating Basis Earthquake (OBE) and the Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE). The OBE and the SSE are 0.05g and 0.10g, respectively; these values constitute the design basis of FNP. Per Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 12-06 Section 5.2 (Reference 2), all sites will consider the seismic hazard.

Thus the Farley site screens in for an assessment for seismic hazard.

External Flood Hazard Assessment:

Not applicable, as Farley is built above the design basis flood level. Per Farley FSAR Chapter 2 the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) stage is 144.2 ft mean sea level (msl) without wave runup; with wave runup due to 153.3 ft. (Reference 1). The grade level of safety-related structures at Farley is 154.5 ft.

Therefore, Farley is built above the design basis flood level and is considered a dry site by the NEI guidance (Reference 2, Section 6.2.1). Farley does not have to characterize a flood or evaluate protection and deployment of FLEX strategies.

Thus, the Farley site screens out for an assessment for external flooding.

Extreme Cold Hazard Assessment:

The guidelines provided in NEI 12-06 (Reference 2, Section 8.2.1) generally exclude the need to consider extreme snowfall at plant sites in the southeastern U.S. below the 35th parallel. The Farley plant site is located at 31°13 N latitude and 85°06 W longitude (Reference 1, Section 2.1.1). Thus, the capability to address hindrances caused by extreme snowfall with snow removal equipment need not be provided.

According to FSAR Section 2.4.7, there is no record of the Chattahoochee River icing over. Therefore, there is no risk of ice blockage, frazil ice, or loss of UHS due to ice. The Farley site is located within the region characterized by Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) as ice severity level 4 (Reference 2, Figure 8-2). As such, the Farley site is subject to severe icing conditions.

Thus, the Farley site screens in for an assessment for extreme cold for ice only.

High Wind Hazard Assessment:

Plant Farley is located at 31°13 N latitude and 85°06 W longitude (Reference 1, Section 2.1.1). Per NEI 12-06 guidance, hurricanes and tornado hazards are applicable to Farley. NEI 12-06 (Reference 2,

J. M. Farley EA-12-049 (FLEX) Overall Integrated Implementation Plan February 27, 2013 Page 7 of 72 Figures 7-1 and 7-2) was used for this assessment.

Thus, the Farley site screens in for an assessment for High Wind Hazard.

Extreme High Temperature Hazard Assessment:

Per NEI 12-06 Section 9.2, all sites will address high temperatures. The climate at the site is typical of that in the Southern Gulf Coastal Plain, being hot and humid in the summer and mild in the winter. The Farley site normal daily maximum temperature ranges from 63°F in January to 92°F in June through August. An extreme maximum of 107°F was recorded in Blakely and 104°F in Dothan. The maximum temperature exceeds 90ºF on about 100 days a year at Dothan and 89 days a year at Blakely (Reference 1, Section 2.3.2.2).

Thus, the Farley site screens in for an assessment for extreme High Temperature.

Summary of Extreme External Hazards Assessments:

The hazards applicable to FNP are seismic, ice, high winds, and high temperature.

Ref: NEI 12-06 section 3.2.1 Provide key assumptions associated with implementation of FLEX Strategies:

Flood and seismic re-evaluations pursuant to the 10 CFR 50.54(f) letter of March 12, 2012 are not completed and therefore not assumed in this submittal. As the re-evaluations are completed, appropriate issues will be entered into the corrective action system and addressed on a schedule commensurate with other licensing bases changes.

Exceptions for the site security plan or other (license/site specific) requirements of 10CFR may be required.

Deployment resources are assumed to begin arriving at hour 6 and fully staffed by 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

Certain Technical Specifications cannot be complied with during FLEX implementation.

Key assumptions associated with implementation of FLEX Strategies for FNP are described below:

Flood and seismic re-evaluations pursuant to the 10 CFR 50.54(f) letter of March 12, 2012 are not completed and therefore not assumed in this submittal. As the re-evaluations are completed and submitted, appropriate issues will be entered into the corrective action system and addressed.

The following conditions exist for the baseline case:

o Seismically designed DC battery banks are available.

o Seismically designed AC and DC distribution is available.

o Plant initial response is the same as Station Blackout (SBO) event.

J. M. Farley EA-12-049 (FLEX) Overall Integrated Implementation Plan February 27, 2013 Page 8 of 72 o Best estimate analysis and decay heat are used to establish operator time and action.

o No single failure of SSC is assumed except those in the base assumptions (i.e., EDG operation). Therefore, TDAFW will perform either via automatic control or with manual operation capability per the guidance in NEI 12-06.

The designed hardened connections are protected against external events or are established at multiple and diverse locations.

FLEX components will be designed to be capable of performing in response to the screened in hazards in accordance with NEI 12-06. Portable FLEX components will be procured commercially.

Margin will be added to design FLEX components and hard connection points to address future requirements as re-evaluation warrants. This margin will be determined during the detailed design or evaluation process.

Phase 2 FLEX components stored at the site will be protected against the screened in hazards in accordance with NEI 12-06. At least N sets of equipment will be available after the event they were designed to mitigate.

Deployment strategies and deployment routes will be assessed for hazards impact.

Additional staff resources are expected to begin arriving at 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and the site will be fully staffed 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> after the event.

Maximum environmental room temperatures for habitability or equipment availability is based on NUMARC 87-00 (Reference 1) guidance if other design basis information or industry guidance is not available. Extreme high temperatures are not expected to impact the utilization of off-site resources or the ability of personnel to implement the required FLEX strategies.

This plan defines strategies capable of mitigating a simultaneous loss of all alternating current (ac) power and loss of normal access to the ultimate heat sink resulting from a beyond-design-basis event by providing adequate capability to maintain or restore core cooling, containment, and SFP cooling capabilities at all units on a site. Though specific strategies are being developed, due to the inability to anticipate all possible scenarios, the strategies are also diverse and flexible to encompass a wide range of possible conditions. These pre-planned strategies developed to protect the public health and safety will be incorporated into the unit emergency operating procedures (EOP) in accordance with established EOP change processes, and their impact to the design basis capabilities of the unit evaluated under 10 CFR 50.59. The plant Technical Specifications contain the limiting conditions for normal unit operations to ensure that design safety features are available to respond to a design basis accident and direct the required actions to be taken when the limiting conditions are not met. The result of the beyond-design-basis event may place the plant in a condition where it cannot comply with certain Technical Specifications and/or with its Security Plan, and, as such, may warrant invocation of 10 CFR 50.54(x) and/or 10 CFR 73.55(p)

(Reference 3).

Exceptions for the site security plan or other (license/site specific) requirements of a nature requiring NRC approval will be communicated in a future 6 month update following identification.

Describe in detail in this section the technical basis for the time constraint identified on the sequence of events timeline Attachment 1A See attached sequence of events timeline (Attachment 1A).

Technical Basis Support information, see attached NSSS Significant Reference Analysis Deviation Table (Attachment 1B)

Discussion of time constraints identified in Attachment 1A table.

30 minutes, Entry into Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP) (table item 4) - Time critical at a time greater than 40 minutes. Time period of 40 minutes is selected conservatively to ensure that ELAP entry conditions can be verified by control room staff and it is validated that emergency diesel generators (EDG) are not available. 40 minutes is a reasonable assumption for system operators to perform initial evaluation of the EDGs. Entry into ELAP provides guidance to operators to perform ELAP actions. A formal validation of the timeline will be performed once the procedure guidance is developed and related staffing study is completed.

35 minutes, Stage portable Control Room Lighting (table item 5) - Time critical at a time greater

J. M. Farley EA-12-049 (FLEX) Overall Integrated Implementation Plan February 27, 2013 Page 10 of 72 than 45 minutes. Time period of 5 minutes past ELAP entry is selected to ensure that control room portable lighting is established prior to the extended load shed de-energizing the emergency control room lighting. A formal validation of the timeline will be performed once the procedure guidance is developed and related staffing study is completed.

50 minutes, DC extended load shed complete (table item 6) - Time critical at a time greater than 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />. Time period of 20 minutes past ELAP entry is selected to ensure that DC buses are available from battery sources. Phase 2 battery recharging is assumed to begin at 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> (table item 8); The DC buses are readily accessible to the operator. Load stripping consists of opening 11 breakers on Unit 1 and 10 breakers on Unit 2 using local control switches. As an operator aid, the breakers/ control switches will be appropriately identified (labeled) to show which are required to be opened to facilitate an extended load shed (Reference 6). From the time that ELAP conditions are declared, it is reasonable to expect that operators can complete the DC bus load shed in approximately 20 minutes. A formal validation of the timeline will be performed once the procedure guidance is developed and related staffing study is completed.

Technical Basis Support information

1. On behalf of the Pressurized Water Reactor Owners Group (PWROG), Westinghouse developed a document (WCAP-17601-P, Revision 0 (Reference 1)) to supplement the guidance in NEI 12-06 by providing additional PWR-specific information regarding the individual plant response to the Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP) and loss of Ultimate Heat Sink (UHS) events. The document includes identification of the generic event scenario and expected plant response, the associated analytical bases and recommended actions for performance of a site-specific gap analysis. Guidance regarding plant response for core cooling, containment integrity, and spent fuel pool cooling is generally applicable to all Westinghouse PWRs, including FNP Units 1 and
2. Supplementary guidance (Reference 2) was utilized as appropriate to develop Core Cooling and RCS Inventory coping strategies and for prediction of the plants response. The NSSS vendor has performed a site specific evaluation (Reference 3) associated with RCS makeup and boration requirements for Farley.
2. FNP containment integrity for Phases 1 through 3 will be evaluated by use of computer code MAAP 4.05.
3. At FNP, the motor driven and turbine driven AFW pump discharge headers provide a flow path to all steam generators. The physical location of these discharge headers results in only one header being available for modification.
4. Environmental conditions within the station areas will be evaluated utilizing methods and tools in NUMARC 87-00 (Reference 5) or Gothic 8.0 (EPRI software).
5. Per the guidance in 10 CFR 50.63 and Regulatory Guide 1.155, FNP is an alternate AC, 4 hour4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> coping plant for Station Blackout (SBO) considerations (Reference 5, Section 8.3.1.1.7.3).

Applicable portions of the analysis described in the FNP FSAR have been used as starting points for evaluations performed to meet the guidance from NEI 12-06 (Reference 6). Key assumptions not addressed in the EA-12-049 order were per the existing SBO evaluations. Some of these SBO

J. M. Farley EA-12-049 (FLEX) Overall Integrated Implementation Plan February 27, 2013 Page 12 of 72 based assumptions used for ELAP are:

a) Credit is taken for operator actions where appropriate.

b) Equipment needed for the SBO coping duration is available at the site once Phase 2 is implemented.

c) There is reasonable assurance that the equipment will remain operable during and subsequent to an SBO event.

Identify methods (AFW/EFW) and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.

Coping Strategy (Modes 1 through 4, and Mode 5 with Steam Generators Available)

Immediately following the ELAP event, reactor core cooling is accomplished by natural circulation of the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) through the steam generators and cooled by the Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) system, and steam pressure will be controlled by the Main Steam Safety Valves (MSSVs) assuming compressed air is not available for operation of the Atmospheric Relief Valves (ARVs). This primary core cooling strategy relies on the Turbine-Driven Auxiliary Feedwater (TDAFW) pump, which will be automatically actuated within 1 minute of a loss of AC power, to provide feedwater for the removal of reactor core decay heat following a loss of main feedwater (Reference 1).

The TDAFW pump supplies flow to all three steam generators through individual air-operated flow control valves (FCVs). Control of the FCVs, if compressed air is available, as well as manual speed control for the TDAFW pump, is provided in the control room. Since the compressed air system is non-seismic, manual operation of the FCVs is required throughout the ELAP. The TDAFW UPS and batteries provide for two hours of automatic operation of TDAFW. In addition, the turbine steam admission valves will remain open for two hours utilizing compressed air from the associated air accumulator. After two hours, operator action is required to manually open the steam admission valves and then manually control TDAFW turbine speed by throttling open the TDAFW trip and throttle valve to control turbine speed and pump discharge pressure per existing procedural guidance.

Feedwater supply to the TDAFW pump is from the Condensate Storage Tank (CST). Each CST (one per unit) is nominally a 500,000 gal tank; however, only the bottom 164,832 gallons is Seismic Category 1 and missile protected (Reference 2). However, the CST volume credited for ELAP is 150,000 gallons of demineralized water for each unit (Reference 3). Based on this minimum volume of water available in the CSTs, along with core decay heat and RCS sensible heat removal requirements for cooldown to 350°F; the protected inventory of the CST is available to provide flow to the steam generators for approximately 13 hours1.50463e-4 days <br />0.00361 hours <br />2.149471e-5 weeks <br />4.9465e-6 months <br />.

Coping Strategy (Mode 6 and Mode 5 without Steam Generators Available)

In the initial phase without the steam generators available, core cooling is accomplished by 1 Coping modifications consist of modifications installed to increase initial coping time, i.e. generators to preserve vital instruments or increase operating time on battery powered equipment.

Identify methods and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.

Coping Strategy (Modes 1 through 4, and Mode 5 with Steam Generators Available)

Primary Strategy Actions are required during Phase 2 following the ELAP event for reactor core cooling. The main strategy will be dependent upon the continued operation of the TDAFW pump, which is capable of feeding the steam generators as long as there is an ample steam supply to drive the TDAFW pump turbine. Phase 2 has several other baseline coping capabilities that it must be able to achieve based on the guidance of NEI 12-06.

Alternate Strategy Phase 2 requires a baseline capability for reactor core cooling strategy to connect a portable pump for injection into the steam generators in the event that the TDAFW pump fails or when ample steam is no longer available to drive the TDAFW pumps turbine. To allow for defense-in-depth actions in the event of an unforeseen failure of the TDAFW pump, the SG FLEX pump should be staged and made ready for service as soon as resources become available following the ELAP event.

To utilize the SG FLEX pump, the coping strategy depressurizes the steam generators to below the SG FLEX pump discharge pressure. Depressurization of the steam generators will require deploying shift operators (SOs) to locally open the Atmospheric Relief Valves (ARVs). The SOs, coordinating with the MCR will depressurize the steam generators via the ARVs to a pressure of approximately 300 psig.

To conservatively envelop any scenario with an early TDAFW failure and provide the capability to restore secondary heat sink, the SG FLEX pump will be sized based on decay heat at one hour after reactor shutdown. This corresponds to a flow rate of approximately 300 gpm (Reference 1) at a discharge pressure equal to the specified steam generator injection pressure, 300 psig, in addition to all head losses (i.e., hoses, piping, connections and elevation of feed injection point) from the discharge of the SG FLEX pump to the steam generator.

Throughout Phase 2, it is expected that the TDAFW pump or the SG FLEX pump will be in operation with suction from the CST and discharge to the steam generators. For injection using the SG FLEX Pump, the pump would normally be staged at a location near the CST. The supply source for the SG FLEX pump will be the CST and the discharge of the SG FLEX pump will be directed to the discharge piping of the AFW pumps on the 100 elevation.

As stated previously, the CST is capable of providing a minimum of 12.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> of water for steam generator injection (applicable to both TDAFW pump injection and SG FLEX Pump injection into SGs). A transfer pump, hereafter identified as the CST FLEX pump, will be provided for CST makeup.

The makeup strategy for the CST is first to supply water from the Reactor Makeup Water Storage Tank (RMWST). The RMWST is a Seismic Category 1 tank and is missile protected. The RMWST contains demineralized water with a minimum inventory of 160,000 gallons that is capable of providing an additional 24.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> to the 12.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> of available inventory in the CST.

J. M. Farley EA-12-049 (FLEX) Overall Integrated Implementation Plan February 27, 2013 Page 19 of 72 Section 10: Maintain Core Cooling & Heat Removal At Farley, the motor driven and turbine driven AFW pump discharge headers provide a flow path to all steam generators. The physical location of these discharge headers results in only one header being available for modification. Since the discharge header is cross-connected to all three steam generators, adding multiple connections to this header provides no additional redundancy. The strategy at Farley will be to provide the primary and alternate diverse injection points connections accessible from ground level (155 elevation) for convenience and reliability during connection of the portable pump.

These diverse connections will then merge inside the Auxiliary Building and form a seismically qualified FLEX feedwater header. This FLEX feedwater header will be routed to the general area of the AFW system connection. Hose to provide the final connection from the FLEX feedwater header to the AFW piping will be stored in the vicinity of these connection points.

Coping Strategy (Mode 6 and Mode 5 without Steam Generators Available)

The primary strategy for core cooling without the steam generators available in the transitional phase is to maintain RCS inventory. Refer to the Phase 2 RCS Inventory Control strategy.

Onsite FLEX Diesel Generator To provide support for the core cooling coping strategy following an ELAP event, a 600V AC diesel generator will be staged and connected to power select loads. The loads that will be powered by this onsite FLEX Diesel Generator include a battery charger to each class 1E 125 VDC Switchgear, accumulator discharge isolation valves, and RCS FLEX pump (Mode 1-4 or Mode 5-6, as needed).

The onsite FLEX Diesel Generator is further described in the Safety Function Support section. Diverse connection points will be provided.

2. Install diverse suction connections and fill connections on each CST. Diverse suction and fill connection locations for seismic category 1 water storage tanks are needed to comply with NRC Order EA-12-049. Requires use of hose to pipe adapters to be normally stored in the FLEX warehouse(s). Install a connection point on the discharge piping of the AFW pumps on the 100 elevation of the Auxiliary Building and extend piping from this location to two diverse connections accessible from the 155 elevation for connecting the SG FLEX pump. Tie-ins to the system piping will be via flexible hose during the event. New piping for SG injection utilizing the SG FLEX pump is needed to meet the strategy implementation time constraints.
3. Install a robust, shielded connection on each RMWST that extends through the RMWST shield building providing two diverse connections for transferring the RMWST inventory to the CST.

This requires use of hose to pipe adapters to be normally stored in FLEX warehouse(s).

Identify methods and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.

Coping Strategy (Modes 1 through 4, and Mode 5 with Steam Generators Available)

Phase 3 of the core cooling strategy will be expected to begin following exhaustion of the CSTs and RMWSTs at approximately 37 hours4.282407e-4 days <br />0.0103 hours <br />6.117725e-5 weeks <br />1.40785e-5 months <br />. The Phase 3 core cooling strategy for steam generator will be provided by a SW FLEX pump capable of providing the entire inventory of water from the Service Water Pond (UHS) through RRC water treatment equipment and then to the CST. Prior to depletion of the UHS, there will be the capability to refill the UHS from the Chattahoochee River via temporary equipment from off-site.

The subsequent Phase 3 core cooling strategy requires heat removal equipment delivered from the RRC and a pump capable of removing heat from the reactor core in addition to other loads from the SFP and containment. The flow paths for decay heat removal would utilize piping in the RHR system and Component Cooling Water (CCW) system. Establishing RHR cooling would require repowering the RHR pump via a diesel generator delivered from the RRC to establish recirculation in the RCS.

Heat removal would be through the RHR heat exchangers. The RHR heat exchangers would subsequently be cooled by flow from the CCW system. The CCW system would be cooled and circulated by an offsite heat exchanger and pump system powered from the RRC provided diesel generator. The CCW system can be isolated so that a portable system can provide cooling to not only the RHR heat exchangers but the SFP heat exchangers and RHR pump seal coolers as well. The RRC heat exchanger would be sized to remove all decay heat from irradiated fuel located in the reactor cores and SFPs.

Prior to depletion of the CST and RMWST inventory at approximately 37 hours4.282407e-4 days <br />0.0103 hours <br />6.117725e-5 weeks <br />1.40785e-5 months <br />, a new source of water for feeding the steam generators will be provided to supply the CST by processing water from the Service Water Pond (UHS) through water treatment equipment provided by the Regional Resource Center.

Coping Strategy (Mode 6 and Mode 5 without Steam Generators Available)

In modes without the steam generators available for decay heat removal (Modes 5 and 6), it will be necessary to use the Phase 3 RRC heat exchanger and pump system discussed above in Modes 1 through 4.

Low Leak RCP Seals or RCS makeup required All Plants Provide Means to Provide Borated RCS Makeup Maintain RCS Inventory Control: PWR Installed Equipment Phase 1 Provide a general description of the coping strategies using installed equipment including 3 modifications that are proposed to maintain core cooling. Identify methods (Low Leak RCP Seals and/or borated high pressure RCS makeup) and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.

Coping Strategy (Modes 1 through 4, and Mode 5 with Steam Generators Available)

In order to maintain sufficient reactor coolant system (RCS) inventory, an evaluation of BDBEEs resulting in an ELAP has concluded that core uncovery will not occur at Farley until well after 7 days (Reference 5). This analysis was conservatively based on the current safe shutdown/low leakage RCP seal design with total RCS leakage of 4 gpm (1 gpm seal leakage from each of 3 reactor coolant pumps (Reference 1, Reference 2) plus 1 gpm from unidentified RCS sources). The Westinghouse RCS makeup evaluation for FNP (Reference 3) demonstrates that RCS makeup will be required at 29 hours3.356481e-4 days <br />0.00806 hours <br />4.794974e-5 weeks <br />1.10345e-5 months <br /> to maintain single phase RCS core cooling using the steam generators. If credit is taken for two-phase RCS core cooling using the steam generators, RCS makeup is not required until after 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />.

However, RCS makeup will be required for supplemental boron addition for reactivity control.

In preparation for RCS inventory control and long term sub-criticality, the phase 1 action will be to cool down and depressurize the RCS for injection of boron and coolant inventory via the SI accumulators. As the RCS is cooled, the level within the RCS will occupy less volume and will require makeup and boron. This borated makeup volume will be injected from the SI accumulators during normal RCS cooldown following an ELAP event. Prior to injection of the entire SI accumulator inventory, the SI accumulators will be isolated if necessary to avoid nitrogen injection into the RCS, which has the potential to inhibit natural circulation. Procedural guidance for isolating of the SI accumulators will be provided by emergency operating procedures (Reference 5). The Phase 2 RCS Inventory strategy is discussed later.

Coping Strategy (Mode 6 and Mode 5 without Steam Generators Available)

In Mode 5 without the steam generators available, manual action will be required to provide makeup to the RCS via gravity feed from the Seismic Category 1 Refueling Water Storage Tank (RWST). A concrete shield wall around the RWST ensures that tank is protected from missiles. Prior to entering Mode 5, the RWST contains a minimum borated water inventory of 471,000 gallons (Reference 4).

Prior to transferring the RWST inventory to the reactor refueling cavity, gravity feed is available with this inventory in the RWST in Mode 5 until a pressure of approximately 30 psig is reached in the RCS and is accomplished via manual valve operation. Gravity feeding to the RCS is currently included in 2 Coping modifications consist of modifications installed to increase initial coping time, i.e. generators to preserve vital instruments or increase operating time on battery powered equipment.

3 Coping modifications consist of modifications installed to increase initial coping time, i.e. generators to preserve vital instruments or increase operating time on battery powered equipment.

J. M. Farley EA-12-049 (FLEX) Overall Integrated Implementation Plan February 27, 2013 Page 27 of 72 Section 11: Maintain RCS Inventory Control plant procedures at FNP. In Mode 6, the RWST inventory is available in the reactor refueling cavity for core cooling and no Phase 1 actions are required.

The required makeup flow rate to the RCS following a loss of residual heat removal (RHR) cooling is 100 gpm (Reference 3). While gravity feeding may not achieve the required flow rate necessary to makeup to the RCS short term or long term, it is still a credited action that will mitigate uncovering the core. It is expected that a Phase 2 strategy will be required; however, the initial response of gravity feeding from the RWST should extend the required Phase 2 response time to prevent uncovering the core.

Farley EA-12-049 (FLEX) Overall Integrated Implementation Plan February 27, 2013 Page 29 of 72 Section 11: Maintain RCS Inventory Control Maintain RCS Inventory Control: PWR Portable Equipment Phase 2 Provide a general description of the coping strategies using on-site portable equipment including modifications that are proposed to maintain core cooling. Identify methods (Low Leak RCP Seals and/or borated high pressure RCS makeup) and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.

Coping Strategy (Modes 1 through 4, and Mode 5 with Steam Generators Available)

For RCS inventory control and long term sub-criticality in Phase 2, the credited action will be to cooldown and depressurize the RCS for injection of boron and coolant inventory from first the accumulators, and then Phase 2 RCS FLEX pumps. Depressurizing the RCS to inject the accumulator occurs when the steam generators are depressurized to 300 psig. The heat removed by depressurizing the steam generators also cools the RCS to a Tavg of approximately 425°F and a RCS pressure of 305 psig at saturation conditions (Reference 1).

Following injection of the accumulators inventory, the accumulators are isolated by closing the accumulator discharge valves to avoid nitrogen injection into the RCS due to subsequent plant cooldown and depressurization. Due to the low leakage seals, it is not anticipated that additional makeup other than that of the accumulators will be required to maintain adequate RCS inventory until Phase 3. However, based on plant specific Westinghouse analysis (Reference 2), injection of borated water needs to occur beginning approximately 14 hours1.62037e-4 days <br />0.00389 hours <br />2.314815e-5 weeks <br />5.327e-6 months <br /> after the ELAP/LUHS event occurs to ensure sub-criticality will be maintained. This will be accomplished using a Mode 1-4 RCS FLEX pump sized to inject borated water at the rate of 30 gpm at approximately 500 psig. The primary borated water source is approximately 2,000 gallons of highly borated water available in each Boric Acid Storage Tank (BAST/BAT) (Technical Requirements Surveillance 13.1.6.6). The alternate water source is the large volume (471,000 gals) of borated water inventory available in the RWST for RCS injection. The Mode 1-4 RCS FLEX pump will be pre-staged in the auxiliary building to allow ease of access and installation. The Mode 1-4 FLEX pump will be powered from the onsite FLEX Diesel Generator when installed. Primary and alternate connections for the discharge of the Mode 1-4 RCS FLEX pump into the RCS will be provided.

Coping Strategy (Mode 6 and Mode 5 without Steam Generators Available)

The primary strategy for core cooling without the steam generators available will be to utilize an onsite FLEX pump for RCS injection, hereafter referred to as the Mode 5-6 FLEX RCS pump. This pump will be pre-staged on the 100' elevation of the auxiliary building and will be powered from the onsite FLEX Diesel Generator when installed. The source of the injection water is the RWST. Primary and alternate suction connection points will be provided. The primary and alternate discharge connection points for the Mode 5-6 FLEX RCS pump will be two locations downstream of the charging pump discharge header. The Westinghouse site specific makeup and boration analysis for Farley (Reference 2) indicates that a flow rate of 100 gpm will be sufficient to remove the decay heat for Mode 5 and 6 events that occur beyond 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> after plant shutdown.

Onsite FLEX Diesel Generator To provide support for the RCS inventory control (including RCS boration) coping strategy following an ELAP event, a 600V AC diesel generator will be staged and connected to power select loads. The loads that will be powered by this onsite FLEX Diesel Generator include a battery charger to each class

The FLEX DG will have diverse connection points. The onsite FLEX Diesel Generator is further described in the Safety Function Support section.

Identify methods (containment spray/hydrogen igniters) and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.

The Phase 3 coping strategy required for maintaining containment integrity involves either venting containment or using containment coolers for indefinite containment cooling.

Primary Strategy The preferred option is to repower Train A containment cooling fans at low speed and supply a new source of cooling water. The cooling water to these containment coolers will be provided by isolating the service water system upstream and downstream of the containment coolers. Cooling water flow through the containment coolers will be provided by a portable pump and heat exchanger skid from the RRC. Modification is required to provide connection points to the service water lines and this strategy provides a Train A electrical powered alternative.

Alternative Strategy The containment venting strategy will be achieved by repowering the Post-LOCA Pressurization and Ventilation System. This system provides a filtered ventilation path to vent the containment atmosphere to the stack and provides a Train B electrical powered alternative.

Makeup with Portable Injection Source Maintain Spent Fuel Pool Cooling: PWR Installed Equipment Phase 1 Provide a general description of the coping strategies using installed equipment including modifications that are proposed to maintain spent fuel pool cooling. Identify methods (makeup via portable injection source)and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.

Fuel in the spent fuel pool is cooled by maintaining water above the top of the fuel. Upon interruption of power to the installed SFP cooling pumps, the water inventory will heat up. Requirements for SFP makeup (which are not required until boil-off occurs in the SFPs) are based on the worst case design basis heat load and worst case fuel offload timing. In this scenario, the pool will start boiling at 5.6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> after cooling is lost; however, water does not drop to 15 feet above the fuel for greater than 23 hours2.662037e-4 days <br />0.00639 hours <br />3.80291e-5 weeks <br />8.7515e-6 months <br /> and active fuel is not uncovered for 53.1 hours1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> (Reference 1). Makeup flow of 76.7 gpm (Reference 2)per pool will be required to maintain level for this worst case design basis heat load ELAP/LUHS event.

The only Phase 1 action identified will be to open the spent fuel pool room door and the new fuel room missile door to ventilate the spent fuel pool room to mitigate the steam caused by spent fuel pool boiling. This pathway will be established by manually propping open the missile door (East missile door or the new fuel area missile door) and propping open the door to the spent fuel pool room. The new fuel area door is locked and closed during normal operations. Security and radiation protection personnel will be needed to open the door. Propping open these doors provides a ventilation pathway in addition to a pathway for laying hoses.

J. M. Farley EA-12-049 (FLEX) Overall Integrated Implementation Plan February 27, 2013 Page 45 of 72 Section 13: Maintain Spent Fuel Pool Cooling Maintain Spent Fuel Pool Cooling: PWR Portable Equipment Phase 2 Provide a general description of the coping strategies using on-site portable equipment including modifications that are proposed to maintain spent fuel pool cooling. Identify methods (makeup via portable injection source)and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.

To ensure minimum spent fuel pool level will be maintained, makeup to the spent fuel pool will be implemented prior to the spent fuel pool water level reaching 15 feet above the active fuel as indicated by the installed SFP level instrumentation. This timing depends on the stored fuel inventory and time since fuel was discharged from the core, but in all cases will be greater than 23 hours2.662037e-4 days <br />0.00639 hours <br />3.80291e-5 weeks <br />8.7515e-6 months <br />.

Since the SFP is designed so that it does not require borated water to maintain subcritical conditions, the Service Water Pond is the preferred source of makeup for SFP boiloff.

Four baseline capabilities related to SFP level are specified in the NEI 12-06 guidance, 3 for makeup and 1 for venting the SFP area. The venting of the SFP area capability is discussed in Phase 1.

Primary Strategy Method 1 - spent fuel pool makeup via hoses directly into the spent fuel pool, Primary Strategy Method 2 - spent fuel pool makeup via a connection to SFP cooling piping or other alternate location that does require accessing the spent fuel pool room, Primary Strategy Method 3 - a vent pathway for steam caused by spent fuel pool boiling (as described in the Spent Fuel Pool Cooling Phase 1 section), and Primary Strategy Method 4 - spray capability via portable monitor nozzles.

Prior to spent fuel pool makeup being required, staging hoses for providing the makeup will be accomplished. This strategy consists of installing hoses for makeup and spray on each unit. A manifold will be provided to connect three hoses: one that discharges directly into the SFP (Method 1), one that can provide makeup to the SFP through the SFP Cooling system (Method 2), and one that can supply the monitor spray nozzles (Method 4).

The required flow to satisfy the spray capability for each units SFP via portable monitor nozzles is 250 gpm as established in NEI 12-06 (Table D-3). This flow rate is bounding for all other SFP cooling baseline capabilities. The manifold described above will be supplied by one hose connected to the discharge of a pump deployed at the Service Water Pond. The minimum flow rate for the SFP FLEX pump is 250 gpm to each unit.

Main Control Room Accessibility Main Control Room (MCR) accessibility must be maintained for the duration of the extended loss of all AC power (ELAP). During the ELAP, some control room vital electronics, instrumentation and emergency lighting remain energized from emergency DC power sources. At one hour, extended load shedding will be complete and some instrumentation and the emergency lights are de-energized.

Battery powered emergency lighting will illuminate portions of the MCR once the extended load shedding is completed. Emergency lights and required instrumentation are reenergized in Phase 2 when the battery charger will be powered from the onsite FLEX Diesel Generator. The room heat-up calculations performed for SBO conditions need to be revised to envelop the effect of this de-energizing/reenergizing sequence on control room accessibility following an ELAP event.

On the basis of similar studies for other plants, it is reasonable to assume that there will be sufficient sensible heat, heat from personnel and the limited electrical loads still active during Phase 1 of an ELAP to increase the room temperature above the 110°F value assumed for the maximum temperature for efficient human performance as described in NUMARC 87-00 (Reference 1). The Phase 1 strategy is thus to block open the MCR access doors open to the building exterior at plant grade level) and employ portable ventilation fans powered by electric generators or gas powered portable fans. This strategy will provide enough ventilation to equalize the MCR temperature to approximately that of the outside air. During cold weather, the ventilation flow can be limited to keep the MCR at a habitable temperature. The Phase 1 strategy can be extended indefinitely or until long term Phase 3 strategies to restore plant HVAC equipment or provide portable HVAC for the MCR can be implemented. If the outside temperature is above 98°F, then the doors will not be opened until the MCR temperature is in excess of the outside temperature. Note that on the infrequent days when the peak daily outside temperature is above 98°F, this temperature is normally only exceeded for a limited time during the early afternoon hours. In addition, there is on average a 22.7°F difference between the daily high and low temperatures (Reference 5, Table 2.3-4).

TDAFW Pump Room Accessibility The core cooling strategies rely on operation of the TDAFW pump during all phases of the event.

During operation, there is a considerable heat load within the room from the steam turbine and associated piping. Operation of TDAFW without forced ventilation was evaluated for the SBO condition by calculation BM-96-1171-001 (see Reference 2). This conservative calculation (ignored heat sinks and heat transfer out of the room) determined that with no ventilation, the room would heat 6 Coping modifications consist of modifications installed to increase initial coping time, i.e. generators to preserve vital instruments or increase operating time on battery powered equipment.

Farley EA-12-049 (FLEX) Overall Integrated Implementation Plan February 27, 2013 Page 52 of 72 Section 14: Safety Functions Support up to 123oF during the first hour of the SBO coping period and remain below 125 oF during the initial 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. Plant operations personnel determined that these conditions were satisfactory for intermittently accessing the TDAFW pump room. Site industrial safety procedures currently address activities with a potential for heat stress to prevent adverse impacts on personnel.

Battery and DC Equipment Room Accessibility During battery charging operations in Phases 2 and 3 in support of maintaining power to instrumentation and controls for core cooling, containment, and SFP cooling functions, ventilation will be required in the battery rooms and associated DC equipment rooms for cooling the rooms and venting hydrogen released from the batteries during charging. Until power can be provided to the normal room ventilation system, the doors will be manually propped open. If necessary, forced ventilation can then be established using portable fans (electric powered from the on-site FLEX DG powering the battery chargers).

Auxiliary Building 100 ft. elevation Accessibility The SG FLEX Pump backup feed connections, as well as the Mode 1-4 and Mode 5-6 RCS FLEX Pumps connections, are in this area. Temperature in these areas will remain low enough so as to not impact accessibility or equipment operation given the heat load and building size.

Communications The communication plan for FNP in response to an ELAP will rely on elements of the NTTF recommendation 9.3 emergency preparedness communication assessment performed in response to the March 12, 2012 NRC letter entitled, "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 Dai-ichi Accident." The request for information asked that licensees assess their current communications systems and equipment during a large scale natural event and loss of all alternating current power. On October 31, 2012, FNP committed to actions to address communication items identified in the assessment (Reference 4).

For Phase 1 communication coping, the plant PA System will be modified to provide reasonable protection and battery backup, and will assist with initial notifications and directions to on-site personnel, the on-shift Emergency Response Organization (ERO) personnel, and in-plant response personnel. Battery operated satellite phones will assist with initial notifications and directions to off-site Emergency Response Organization (ERO) personnel and other personnel. The battery operated satellite phones will be maintained in a charged condition and will not be dependent on the availability of power, or onsite or off-site infrastructure.

J. M. Farley EA-12-049 (FLEX) Overall Integrated Implementation Plan February 27, 2013 Page 54 of 72 Section 14: Safety Functions Support Safety Functions Support: PWR Portable Equipment Phase 2 Provide a general description of the coping strategies using on-site portable equipment including station modifications that are proposed to maintain and/or support safety functions. Identify methods and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve coping times.

Onsite FLEX Diesel Generator To provide safety function support for the coping strategies following an ELAP event, a 600V AC diesel generator will be staged and connected to power select loads. The loads that will be powered by this onsite FLEX Diesel Generator include a battery charger to each class 1E 125V DC Switchgear, accumulator discharge isolation valves, and RCS FLEX pump (Mode 1-4 or Mode 5-6, as needed).

Each battery charger is rated at 600A (Reference 3). The 600 kW, onsite FLEX Diesel Generator will be capable of starting without external equipment and has an installed fuel transfer pump. Other equipment provided for this strategy includes portable switchgear and quick connect power cables for connecting to multiple, separate loads concurrently. Diverse connection points are provided locally at the individual loads.

Main Control Room Accessibility Continue the Phase 1 strategies to maintain control room accessibility. Employ portable ventilation fans powered by electric generators or gas powered portable fans as necessary. Employ portable battery powered lighting until select MCR lighting will be repowered. Following connection of the onsite FLEX Diesel Generators to power the Class 1E 125V DC Switchgear, the control room emergency light will be reenergized.

Battery and Switchgear Rooms Following connection of the onsite FLEX Diesel Generator to supply the Class 1E 125V DC battery chargers, the batteries will begin to recharge. During battery charging, hydrogen will be released into the battery rooms. To prevent hydrogen buildup, forced ventilation will be established using portable fans (electrically powered from the onsite FLEX Diesel Generator) if required.

Auxiliary Building 100 ft. Elevation Accessibility The SG FLEX Pump backup feed connections, as well as the Mode 1-4 and Mode 5-6 RCS FLEX Pumps connections, are in this area. One of the pumps will be operated in Phase 2 depending on the initial plant condition at the time the ELAP/LUHS occurred. Temperature in these areas will remain low enough so as to not impact accessibility or equipment operation given the heat load and building size.

Communication The communication plan for FNP in response to an ELAP will rely on elements of the NTTF recommendation 9.3 emergency preparedness communication assessment performed in response to the March 12, 2012 NRC letter entitled, "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 Dai-ichi Accident." The request for information asked that licensees assess their current communications systems and equipment during a large scale natural event and loss of all alternating current power. On October 31, 2012, FNP committed to actions to

J. M. Farley EA-12-049 (FLEX) Overall Integrated Implementation Plan February 27, 2013 Page 55 of 72 Section 14: Safety Functions Support address items identified in the assessment (Reference 4).

The specific items for Phase 2 from the referenced 9.3 assessment are 1) the plant public address (PA) system will be repowered using FLEX DGs, and a rapidly deployable communications kit will be utilized to support both satellite and radio communications, if needed, for the ERO, including field monitoring teams. The mobile communications systems will be self-powered via a generator located on board and maintained in a charged condition and independent of onsite or off-site infrastructure. The generator can be refueled using multiple fuel sources which would be available on-site. The mobile communications system does not rely on the availability of either on-site or off-site infrastructure other than satellites, which are assumed to be unaffected by the postulated LSEE.

Refueling Portable Diesel Generators Diesel fuel is available from the diesel fuel oil storage tanks and will be retrieved and transported using a portable fuel pump (battery powered or manual) and transfer carts. The five underground fuel oil storage tanks are seismically qualified and capable of storing a Technical Specification minimum of 25,000 gallons. This stored quantity of fuel will meet the fuel demand for all of the FLEX equipment well into Phase 3.
