- 1. General Integrated Plan Elements - BWR Determine Applicable Extreme Input the hazards applicable to the site; seismic, externalflood, External Hazards high winds, snow, ice, cold, high tenips.
Describe how NEI 12-06 sections 5 - 9 were appliedand the Ref: NEI 12-06, Section 4 - 9 basisfor why the plant screened outfor certain hazards.
JLD-ISG-2012-01, Section 1.0 Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC) reactor center line is at latitude 420 6' 02" N, longitude 910 46' 36" W per UFSAR 2.1 (Reference 18). DAEC used NEI 12-06, Sections 4-9 and Appendix B to evaluate applicable external hazards. Each of the five classes of hazards identified applies to the DAEC site.
Seismic:
- The DAEC UFSAR was reviewed to perform a limited evaluation of the potential for soil liquefaction as result of a design bases earthquake. UFSAR Section 2.5.4.5.3 (Reference 2) discusses excavation practices used to ensure liquefaction will not occur in the building areas.
Based on this no additional evaluations of liquefaction is planned for FLEX strategies unless storage and transport paths are over previously un-excavated ground (Action 29).
- 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 process and addressed (Action 1).
External Flooding:
- Design Bases of site includes flooding from the Cedar River as a result of maximum precipitation. Warning time of several days exist for flooding of this nature, UFSAR 3.4 (Reference 3)
" Design Bases flood (el. 764.1' msl) is above plant grade so FLEX strategies must address deployment with a flood present.
- Flood 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 Page 2 of 51
Duane Arnold Energy Center Overall Integrated Plan with Regard to Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events completed, appropriate issues will be entered into the corrective action process and addressed (Action 2).
Storms with High Winds:
- DAEC plant site is located adjacent to the Cedar River approximately 2.5 miles northeast of Palo, Iowa (Reference 43) and is not a coastal site exposed to hurricanes.
- Regional history with tornadoes exists for the DAEC.
DAEC location falls in Region 1 of Figure 7.2 of NEI 12-
- 06. This would correspond to a location with a one in a million probability of tornado winds speeds approaching 200 mph. The DAEC design bases (300 mph) for safety related structures bounds this value, UFSAR 3.3 (Reference 4).
Snow, Ice and Low Temperatures:
0 Regional experience with snow, ice and low temperatures exist. From Figure 8.2 of NEI 12-06 DAEC is located in Region 5 corresponding to the highest region for ice severity.
High Temperatures:
- Regional experience with high temperatures exists for DAEC. Environmental design for DAEC electrical equipment is discussed in UFSAR section 3.11 (Reference 5). The normal environmental service conditions for areas containing safety related equipment at DAEC are described in a controlled document, QUAL-SC101 (Reference 6).
Key Site assumptions to Provide key assumptions associatedwith implementation of implement NEI 12-06 FLEX Strategies:
strategies.
All assumptions in NEI 12-06, Section 3.2.1 apply including the Ref: NEI 12-06, Section 3.2.1 following:
- Prior to the event the reactor has been operating at 100 percent rated thermal power for at least 100 days or has just been shut down from such a power history as required by plant procedures in advance of the impending event.
- At the time of the postulated event, the reactor and supporting systems are within normal operating ranges Page 3 of 51
Duane Arnold Energy Center Overall Integrated Plan with Regard to Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events for pressure, temperature, and water level for the appropriate plant condition. All plant equipment is either normally operating or available from the standby state as described in the plant design and licensing basis.
- Off site personnel resources are assumed 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 by 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> after the event.
- 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 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 12).
- Recovery of damaged plant equipment is conservatively excluded from FLEX.
- No specific initiating event is used. The initial condition is assumed to be a loss of off-site power (LOOP) at a plant site resulting from an external event that affects the off-site power system either throughout the grid or at the plant with no prospect for recovery of off-site power for an extended period. The LOOP is assumed to affect all units at a plant site.
- All installed sources of emergency on-site ac power and SBO Alternate ac power sources are assumed to be not Page 4 of 51
Duane Arnold Energy Center Overall Integrated Plan with Regard to Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events available and not imminently recoverable.
" Cooling and makeup water inventories contained in systems or structures with designs that are robust with respect to seismic events, floods, and high winds, and associated missiles are available.
" Normal access to the ultimate heat sink is lost, but the water inventory in the UHS remains available and robust piping connecting the U-IS to plant systems remains intact. The motive force for River Water Supply pumps is assumed to be lost with no prospect for recovery.
- Fuel for FLEX equipment stored in structures with designs which are robust with respect to seismic events, floods and high winds and associated missiles, remains available.
- Permanent plant equipment that is contained in structures with designs that are robust with respect to seismic events, floods, and high winds, and associated missiles, are available.
- Other equipment, such as portable ac power sources, portable back up dc power supplies, spare batteries, and equipment for 50.54(hh)(2), may be used provided it is reasonably protected from the applicable external hazards.
" Installed electrical distribution system, including inverters and battery chargers, remain available provided they are protected consistent with current station design.
" No additional events or failures are assumed to occur immediately prior to or during the event, including security events.
" Equipment designed to withstand external events is assumed to be available.
" Spent fuel in dry cask storage is outside the scope of FLEX.
- All boundaries of the SFP are intact, including the liner, gates, transfer canals, etc.
- Although sloshing may occur during a seismic event, the initial loss of SFP inventory does not preclude access to Page 5 of 51
Duane Arnold Energy Center Overall Integrated Plan with Regard to Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events the refueling deck around the pool.
- SFP cooling system is intact, including attached piping.
- SFP heat load assumes the maximum design basis heat load for the site.

DAEC Response:
Immediate operator actions for implementation of Phase I FLEX strategies are consistent with existing immediate actions specified for DAEC Station Blackout requirements under 10 CFR 50.63.
Initial operator actions are as described in Abnormal Operating Procedure (AOP) 301.1 (Reference 21) consistent with the existing Station Blackout analysis described in UFSAR Section 15.3.2 (Reference 8) with the exception that emergency reactor vessel depressurization will not be performed when the suppression pool water temperature reaches the Heat Capacity Temperature Limit as listed in existing Emergency Operating Procedures (References 22 and 23). Revisions to these procedures will be made as noted in the Milestone Schedule (Attachment 4) (Action 3). The timeline for deployment of initial portable equipment under Phase 2 of the FLEX strategies are anticipated to be completed within approximately the first 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />. Experience with deploying similar equipment/strategies has shown that this is achievable with the on shift staff (Reference 24), but this will need to be verified via formal procedural validation when the final equipment, hookups and procedures are developed (Action 4).

Technical Basis Support Information
- 1. On behalf of the Boiling Water Reactor Owners Group (BWROG), GE-Hitachi (GEH) developed a document (NEDC-33771P, Revision 1 (Reference 7)) to supplement the guidance in NEI 12-06 by providing additional BWR-specific Page 7 of 51
Duane Arnold Energy Center Overall Integrated Plan with Regard to Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events 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. In the document, GEH utilized their NRC approved containment analysis code (SHEX) to develop the generic ELAP event response. As part of this document, generic Mark I containment and NSSS evaluations were performed. The analysis is applicable to the DAEC (a BWR Mark I plant) coping strategy because it supplements the guidance in NEI 12-06 by providing BWR-specific information regarding plant response for core cooling, containment integrity, and spent fuel pool cooling. The guidance provided in the NEDC-33771P will be utilized as appropriate to develop coping strategies and for prediction of the plant's response.
Plant specific analysis of Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) and containment response and impacts will be performed consistent with the final DAEC strategies as noted on the milestone schedule and as recommended in NEDC-33771P.
In response to INPO IER 11-4 (Reference 25) DAEC performed a plant specific study of the stations capability to cope with an extended station blackout using the MAAP code (Reference 26). This study yielded similar results to NEDC 33771P and was used to inform the selection of planned improvements.
- 2. The existing analysis for 4 hour4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> SBO coping is detailed in UFSAR 15.3.2. Final plant specific analysis for an ELAP will be performed with equivalent acceptance criteria with the exception of Condensate Storage Tank (CST) inventory and suppression pool level which will be altered in recognition of the external hazards and revised duration of the mitigating strategies (Action 5).
Technical Basis Support information, see attached NSSS Significant Reference Analysis Deviation Table (Attachment IB).
Loss of access to the ultimate heat sink scenarios are bounded by ELAP scenarios as all installed River Water Supply pumps, which provide the plant makeup from the UHS, are AC powered.
Phase 3 evaluations will ensure adequate inventory of water can be provided directly from the Cedar River or other sources independent of the normal River Water Supply pumps (Action 6).

Duane Arnold Energy Center Overall Integrated Plan with Regard to Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events Identify how strategies will be Describe how the strategies will be deployed in all modes.
deployed in all modes.
At DAEC, the FLEX strategies will be implemented by the use of Ref: NEI 12-06, Section 13.1.6 approved procedures, qualified individuals and storage of portable support equipment in approved locations (Action 7).
Emergency Management Guidelines provide an integrated overview of plant procedures used for any emergency event to facilitate integrated response by key decision makers regardless of plant mode (Reference 35).
In addition, FLEX strategies will have administrative controls to ensure that during on-line maintenance and refueling outages, temporary equipment storage and utilization, will not adversely affect FLEX deployment (Action 8). Plant Modes are defined in Technical Specification Table 1.1-1. (Reference 27). FLEX strategies achieve acceptable results in all plant modes.
- Mode 1 (Power Operations) - this is expected to be the limiting condition for FLEX strategies and forms the basic assumption for sizing and selection of equipment.
" Mode 2 (Startup) - this mode exists for relatively short periods of time with lower levels of decay heat than if the event is initiated in Mode 1. No additional or modified strategies have been identified for this mode
- Mode 3 (Hot Shutdown) - this mode exists for relatively short periods of time with lower levels of decay heat than if the event is initiated in Mode 1. No additional or modified strategies have been identified for this mode.
" Mode 4 (Cold Shutdown) - this mode exists for relatively short periods of time and is expected to be less limiting than if the event is initiated in Mode 1. Core cooling strategies of Phase I using steam driven equipment will either not be used, or will only be used once plant heat up has occurred and steam is available. Portable equipment for Phase 2 is equally capable of performing required functions, and it is not anticipated that shorter response times will be needed than from Mode 1.
- Mode (5 Refuel) - This mode exists for relatively short periods of time. Primary containment functions are not applicable in Mode 5. Core cooling functions would not rely on active installed equipment. Due to the lower decay heat level in the reactor, response times with portable equipment for core cooling are expected to be bounded by Mode 1 requirements. Fuel pool cooling assumptions for decay heat are sufficient to ensure Page 9 of 51
Duane Arnold Energy Center Overall Integrated Plan with Regard to Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events adequate fuel pool makeup with portable equipment in Mode 5 (Reference 19).

Duane Arnold Energy Center Overall Integrated Plan with Regard to Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events Maintain Core Cooling Determine Baseline coping capability with installed coping] modifications not including FLEX modifications, utilizing methods described in Table 3-1 of NEI 12-06:
- RCIC/HPCI/IC
- Depressurize RPV for injection with portable injection source
- Sustained water source BWR Installed Equipment Phase 1:
Provide a general descriptionof the coping strategies using installedequipment including modifications that areproposed to maintain core cooling. Identify methods (RCIC/HPCJ/JC)and strategy (ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.
Staff Position from JLD-ISG-2012-01: NEI 12-06 provides an acceptable method of developing strategies to maintain or restore core cooling capabilities.
DAEC Plan: DAEC will utilize NEI 12-06 as the method to develop core cooling strategies.
During Phase 1, core cooling will be assured using installed equipment consistent with the existing station blackout analysis described in UJFSAR Section 15.3.2 (Reference 8) using RCIC and/or HPCI to maintain reactor water level above the top of the fuel. The existing SBO analysis described in UFSAR 15.3.2 demonstrates Phase 1 core cooling is assured for a minimum of four hours. For initial strategy planning and development this four hours will continue to be assumed even though it is anticipated that further evaluations will likely demonstrate a longer coping period for Phase 1. The systems credited for Phase I core cooling, their functions and anticipated limitations are shown in Attachment 5. If the condensate storage tanks are unavailable, the suppression pool provides an inventory of water (Technical Specification 3.6.2.2, Reference 9) for make up during Phase I that is greater than the volume assumed in UFSAR 15.3.2. Evaluation of temperature affects from this alternate water source will be performed as noted in and the associated analysis Schedule Milestone shown in Attachment 2 (Action 14).
Details:
Provide a brief description Confirm thatprocedure/guidanceexists or will be developed to support of Procedures / Strategies / implementation Guidelines Procedure revisions to enhance Phase 1 core cooling strategies are in progress. Emergency Operating Procedures will be revised consistent with revised Boiling Water Reactor Owners Group (BWROG) recommendations to extend the availability of steam driven core cooling systems (Action 3). Enhanced battery load shedding guidance will be incorporated into station procedures for loss of AC power to extend the availability of DC power (Action 15).
' 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.

Duane Arnold Energy Center Overall Integrated Plan with Regard to Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events Maintain Core Cooling BWR Portable Equipment Phase 2:
Provide a general descriptionof the coping strategies using on-site portable equipment including modifications that areproposedto maintain core cooling. Identify methods (RCJC/HPCI/JC)and strategy (ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.
During Phase 2, core cooling will be ensured by using portable diesel driven pumps aligned to inject to the reactor pressure vessel. Plant modifications will be required to provide a second injection path beyond that in the existing procedures. To ensure the capability of the diesel driven pumps to inject requires that the reactor be depressurized. This is accomplished by using installed safety relief valves. Multiple safety relief valves are available with four dedicated safety related pneumatic accumulators (UFSAR Section 5.2.2.4.2, Reference 10). The accumulators are nominally 200 gallons in size and would allow for extended cycles under the conditions assumed for FLEX (Reference 29). DC power is required for operation of these valves (UFSAR 6.3.3.1.3) (Reference 30). DC power will be ensured by utilizing a portable diesel generator connected to the battery chargers via existing plug-in connections for the charger power supplies. If for any reason the station batteries and DC power distribution cannot be preserved, existing procedures provide an alternative method of supplying power directly to the safety relief valves utilizing a battery cart (Reference 31). To ensure that the portable equipment can be connected under flooding conditions defined in NEI 12-06, a plant modification is required to establish a flood staging area for portable equipment that preserves the capability to connect this equipment with the design bases flood present (Action 16) . Portable Phase 2 equipment is listed in Attachment 2.
Deployment route from the staging area will be evaluated based on an assessment of the damage in the affected area and the equipment will be deployed in accordance with this assessment (Action 17).

During Phase I heat can be removed from containment via existing installed vents from the Torus. The vent capacity is sized to accommodate the decay heat required at the time of venting. DAEC is a Mark 1 containment and therefore, the vent capability will be upgraded in accordance with NRC Order EA-12-050 (Reference 32) to improve the reliability during a beyond-design-bases event.

Makeup with Portable Injection Source BWR Installed Equipment Phase 1:
Provide a general descriptionof the coping strategies using installedequipment including modifications that areproposed to maintain spentfuel pool cooling. Identify methods (makeup with portable injection source)and strategy (ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.
DAEC will utilize NEI 12-06 as the method to develop strategies and guidance for Spent Fuel Pool (SFP)
Cooling. UFSAR section 9.1.2.3.2 (Reference 19) discusses makeup requirements of 53.05 gpm at approximately 45 hours5.208333e-4 days <br />0.0125 hours <br />7.440476e-5 weeks <br />1.71225e-5 months <br /> (Reference 20) after a complete loss of cooling assuming a maximum core off-load into a fuel pool. Cycle specific evaluations of actual spent fuel pool loading (References 36 and 37) indicate that substantially lower make up needs and substantially longer response periods would normally be available to respond to a loss of SFP cooling.
During Phase 1 the existing inventory of water in the spent fuel pool is relied on to maintain the spent fuel cool and prevent fuel damage. The installed configuration of the pool ensures an appropriate volume of water. The normal volume of water in the SFP is approximately 233,000 gallons (Reference 36). Technical Specification 3.7.8 (Reference 11) requires that the water level is maintained and periodically checked. NRC Order EA-12-051 (Reference 38) requires the installation of additional reliable fuel pool monitoring instruments to ensure operators have reliable indication of the status of spent fuel pool cooling. Once the SFP begins to boil, large quantities of high temperature moisture will enter the atmosphere in the reactor building.
To reduce the potential that this moisture could adversely impact equipment performance or accessibility to the reactor building by personnel, a modification will be made to the refuel floor to create an alternate manual ventilation point that allows moisture to exit the building (Action 23). This conceptual modification is displayed in Attachment 11. Use of the manual ventilation path will impair the secondary containment but will allow the restoration of secondary containment when the alternate ventilation is no longer needed to vent moisture, During normal operation inadvertent opening of secondary containment via the alternate ventilation point will be positively precluded via administrative and physical controls.

Provide a brief description Existing abnormal operating procedures (Reference 37) discuss operator of Procedures / Strategies response to a loss of spent fuel pool cooling. Procedures will be updated to Guidelines reflect modifications to SFP indication and ventilation (Action 7).

Provide a general descriptionof the coping strategies using on-site portable equipment including modifications that areproposedto maintainspentfuel pool cooling. Identify methods (makeup with portable injection source) and strategy (ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.
It is expected that no operator actions are needed during the initial response to a loss of AC power to maintain the spent fuel covered with water. Once water inventory in the SFP begins to be depleted, make up using portable pumps can be established via any of several paths (Reference 37). Portable Phase 2 equipment is listed in Attachment 2. The capacity of the portable pump will be greater than the boil off rate for SFP.
Deployment route from the staging area will be evaluated based on an assessment of the damage in the affected area and the equipment will be deployed in accordance with this assessment.
Schedule:
Provide a brief description Confirm thatprocedure/guidanceexists or will be developed to support of Procedures / Strategies / implementation Guidelines Existing abnormal operating procedures (Reference 37) and severe accident management procedures (References 39 and 40) support make-up of water to the SFP.

Duane Arnold Energy Center Overall Integrated Plan with Regard to Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events Attachment 5 Systems Credited for Core Cooling Baseline Coping (Reference 15)
System Function and Limitation on Core Cooling Coping Duration Reactor Core Isolation Provides the primary means for reactor vessel inventory control Cooling (RCIC) throughout the baseline coping period. In the event RCIC is unavailable, HPCI can be used as an alternate. RCIC may limit the coping duration for core cooling. RCIC may become unavailable due to environmental conditions, NPSH impacts on suction sources, depletion of control power, or system isolations or failure. A more detailed review of RCIC limitations on coping duration will be performed as a part of FLEX implementation (Action 25).
High Pressure Coolant Assists RCIC in initial recovery of reactor vessel inventory following Injection (HPCI) the initial loss of AC power. Acts as a backup to RCIC in the event RCIC is unavailable. HPCI may become unavailable due to environmental conditions, NPSH impacts on suction sources, depletion of control power, or system isolations or failure. Sizing of HPCI is such that operation may be difficult when steam supply is limited later in the coping period. If the industry evaluations to extend the mission time for RCIC do not yield the required results, further evaluation will be performed on the HPCI system to determine if it can support RCIC operation to achieve the desired mission time.
125 VDC Provides control power to RCIC, Safety Relief Valves (SRV's) and key instrumentation used for decision making. 125 V DC battery capacity will likely limit the baseline coping duration. A detailed review of battery capacity and potential enhancements to load shedding strategies will be performed as part of FLEX implementation (Action 15).
250 VDC Provides control power to HPCI. 250 VDC battery capacity is not expected to alter baseline coping duration. A detailed review of 250 VDC battery mission time will not be performed unless the results of 125 VDC and RCIC reviews indicate there is a significant potential to alter the coping duration.
Safety Relief Valves Controls reactor pressure within specified limits during initial (SRV) response to a loss of AC power. SRV functionality is required to allow the transition to Phase 2 of core cooling, the reactor must be sufficiently depressurized to allow portable low-head pumps to inject water to the RPV. SRV's may limit the coping duration due to environmental conditions, loss of control power, or depletion of pneumatic supply. A more detailed review of these limitations on SRV operation will be performed as a part of FLEX implementation (Action 28).
Page 40 of 51
Duane Arnold Energy Center Overall Integrated Plan with Regard to Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events Low-Low Set Logic Controls safety relief valves in initial response to reactor pressure (LLS) vessel isolation to limit stresses on SRV tail pipes. Shortly after initial operation the LLS logic will no longer be needed. Thus, the LLS logic does not limit coping duration.
Control Rod Drives Ensures reactor is shutdown as an immediate response to loss of AC (CRD) power. Once shutdown, the reactor will remain shutdown regardless of the status of AC power. The CRD system does not limit the coping duration.
Reactor Protection Ensures reactor is shutdown as an immediate response to loss of AC System (RPS) power. Once shutdown, the reactor will remain shutdown regardless of the status of AC power. RPS power also supplies instrumentation in portions of the containment isolation logic. However, these instruments trip (i.e. fail safe) on loss of RPS power. The RPS system does not limit the coping duration for core cooling.
Condensate Storage Provides the preferred initial water inventory for RCIC and HPCI Tanks (CST) make-up to the RPV. CST's are not fully protected from external hazards such as tornado missiles. If the CST's are unavailable, the suppression pool will be the credited source of water inventory.
Consequently, no detailed evaluation of the effect of CST's on coping duration will be performed as part of FLEX implementation.
Torus (Suppression Provides protected source of water inventory for RCIC and HPCI in Pool) and Containment the event the CST's are not available. Provides a suppression pool for Structure SRV discharge. The suppression pool temperature may limit the coping duration for each Phase. RCIC and HPCI operation can be adversely affected by suction source water temperature. SRV operation can affect suppression pool temperature in any of the Phases. A more detailed review of suppression pool temperature response will be needed as part of FLEX implementation. This will be performed consistent with generic work being performed on this topic by the BWROG in NEDC 33771P (Action 14).
Nuclear Boiler and Main Provide a source of steam to the HPCI and RCIC turbines and Steam maintains the floodable volume for core cooling. The nuclear boiler and main steam system do not limit the coping duration for core cooling under the FLEX strategies.
Nuclear Steam Supply Isolates the primary reactor coolant system as an immediate response Shutoff (NSSS) to the loss of AC power. Once isolations are complete no further action is required by the NSSS system and the NSSS system will not affect the core cooling coping time.
Page 41 of 51
Duane Arnold Energy Center Overall Integrated Plan with Regard to Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events Main Steam Isolation Isolates the main steam lines as an immediate response to the loss of Valves (MSIV) AC power. Once isolations are complete no further action is required by the MSIV's and the system will not affect the core cooling coping time.

This evaluation will need to be reviewed for the extended duration postulated for the FLEX strategies (Reference 17) (Action 24).
