MCGUIRE NUCLEAR STATION DOCKET NOS. 50-369 and 50-370

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission February 28, 2013 Enclosure Page 2 General Integrated Plan Elements Determine Applicable Input the hazards applicable to the site; seismic, external Extreme External Hazard flood, high winds, snow, ice, cold, high temps.

Ref: NEI 12-06 section 4.0 -9.0 Describe how NEI 12-06 sections 5 - 9 were appliedand JLD-ISG-2012-01 section 1.0 the basisfor why the plant screened out for certain hazards.

Seismic Hazard Assessment:

The McGuire Nuclear Station (MNS) Updated Final Analysis Report (UFSAR) Section 3.1 (Reference 1) states that the Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE) is 0.15g acting horizontally and 0.10g acting vertically, and the Operating Basis Earthquake (OBE) is 0.08g acting horizontally and 0.0533g acting vertically. As discussed in UFSAR Section 2.5.4.8 (Reference 1), soils beneath the site are not considered susceptible to liquefaction. The seismic hazard applies to all sites as required by Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 12-06 (Reference 2).

External Flood Hazard Assessment:

As described in UFSAR Sections 2.4, 2.4.10, and 3.4 (Reference 1), MNS Seismic Category I structures are not susceptible to external flooding from the Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) or Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) events. The limiting site flooding event for MNS is the Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) event, which is of limited duration and water level. The external flood hazard is applicable for MNS.

Hiqh Wind Hazard Assessment:

As described in UFSAR Section 2.1.1 (Reference 1), the MNS site is located at latitude 35 degrees - 25 minutes -

59 seconds north and longitude 80 degrees - 56 minutes -

55 seconds west. The site is in northwestern Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, 17 miles north-northwest of Charlotte, North Carolina.

According to NEI 12-06 Figures 7-1 and 7-2 (Reference 2),

the location of MNS has a Peak-Gust Wind Speed of 150 miles per hour (mph) and a Recommended Tornado Design Wind Speed of 172 mph. Based on the potential for winds in excess of 130 mph, the MNS site is susceptible to damage from severe winds from a hurricane or tornado.

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission February 28, 2013 Enclosure Page 3 General Integrated Plan Elements Therefore, the high wind hazard is applicable for MNS.

Extreme Cold Hazard Assessment:

MNS is located above the 3 5 th parallel, and is therefore subject to low-to-significant snowfall accumulation and extreme low temperatures per NEI 12-06 Figure 8-1 (Reference 2). Based on NEI 12-06 Figure 8-2 (Reference 2), the MNS site location is also subject to the existence of large amounts of ice, and thus the potential for severe power line damage. Therefore, the extreme cold hazard is applicable for MNS.

Extreme High Temperature Hazard Assessment:

NEI 12-06, Section 9.2 (Reference 2) states that virtually every state in the lower 48 contiguous United States has experienced temperatures in excess of 1 10°F and many in excess of 120°F. In accordance with NEI 12-06 (Reference 2), all sites will address high temperatures.

Therefore, the extreme high temperature hazard is applicable for MNS.

Summary The applicable beyond-design-basis external events (BDBEE) for MNS include seismic, external flooding, storms with high winds, extreme cold (including snow and ice), and high temperature.

Key Site assumptions to Provide key assumptions associatedwith implementation of implement NEI 12-06 FLEX Strategies:

strategies.

Ref: NEI 12-06 section 3.2.1 Key assumptions associated with implementation of "Diverse and Flexible Mitigation Capability" ("FLEX")

strategies:

1. The seismic and flood re-evaluations pursuant to the 10 CFR 50.54(f) letter of March 12, 2012 (Reference 3) do not result in changes to the current design basis. It is assumed that the external flooding and seismic reevaluation do not adversely impact the equipment that forms a part of the MNS FLEX strategy. Any changes to the seismic or flood design basis may reauire a

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission February 28, 2013 Enclosure Page 4 General Integrated Plan Elements change to the plans in the MNS response to Order EA-12-049 (Reference 4).

2. All installed alternating current (AC) power supplies (emergency on-site and station blackout alternate AC power sources as defined by 10 CFR 50.2) will be considered not available and not imminently recoverable.
3. Systems, structures, and components (SSC) will be considered seismically robust if seismic requirements are imposed by licensing requirements.
4. Where non-safety, non-seismically designed, permanently installed equipment is used for FLEX strategies, SSCs will be considered seismically robust by any of the following methods:
  • Seismic Qualification Utility Group (SQUG) methods.
  • Testing, analysis or experience-based methods are applied for the equipment class at design basis seismic levels.
  • High Confidence of a Low Probability of Failure (HCLPF) capacities are determined (e.g. Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) NP-6041 Revision 1, (Reference 5)) to be conservative compared to the SSE.
  • Methodologies in EPRI 1019199, Experience Based Seismic Verification Guidelinesfor Piping and Tubing Systems, (Reference 6) can be successfully applied relative to the SSE.

" Other industry recognized codes such as AWWA D100, Welded Carbon Steel Tanks for Water Storage, (Reference 7) are applied to demonstrate functionality at SSE level ground motion.

5. Qualification of equipment that forms part of the FLEX strategy and personnel access for deployment of FLEX equipment assumes no core damage.
6. For events with no advance warning, per NEI 12-06 Section 12.1 (Reference 2), on-site resources will be used to cope with the first two phases of the casualty for a minimum of the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of the event. However, consistent with NEI 12-01 Section 3.4 and item 4 of Section 2.2 (Reference 8), Emergency Response Organization (ERO) personnel will become site resources as they arrive in Phase 2. ERO personnel 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 ERO will be staffed at 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> after the event.

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission February 28, 2013 Enclosure Page 5 General Integrated Plan Elements

7. Phase 3 resources (personnel and equipment) are assumed to start arriving within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of the request in accordance with the Regional Response Center (RRC) playbook. All resources from the RRC are assumed to be available within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> of the request.
8. This plan defines strategies capable of mitigating a simultaneous loss of all alternating current 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 Spent Fuel Pool (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 Emergency Operating Procedure (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 32).
9. The MNS nuclear service water intake and discharge headers from the Ultimate Heat Sink (UHS) can gravity feed the Turbine-Driven Auxiliary Feedwater (TDAFW) pumps. Additionally, the intake is approximately 40 feet under water. As such, loss of access to the UHS is assumed to result only from the loss of AC power to the motor operated valves that would normally automatically align this flow path. This is consistent with NEI 12-06, 3.2.1.3(4) (Reference 2) which states, "Normal access to the ultimate heat sink is lost, but the water inventory in the UHS remains available and robust piping connecting the UHS to plant systems remains intact". Two independent, full safety-related (i.e. robust) flow paths from the UHS to the TDAFW

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission February 28, 2013 Enclosure Page 6 General Integrated Plan Elements pumps exist and could be locally aligned during an Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP) event.

technical basis for the time constraint.

Describe in detail in this section the technical basisfor the Ref: NEI 12-06 section 3.2.1.7 time constraintidentified on the sequence of events timeline JLD-ISG-2012-01 section 2.1 Attachment ]A.

See attachedsequence of events timeline (Attachment ]A)

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

See Attachments 1A for the current sequence of events timeline. Note that the MNS FLEX strategy is evolving. A staffing Phase 2 study will be performed in accordance with NEI 12-01 (Reference 8) to verify that all actions can be taken in accordance with the timeline. Time constraints shown in Attachment 1A will be validated to be reasonable as the strategy is finalized. (OPEN ITEM 12) The current technical basis is as follows (Item Nos. refer to Attachment 1A):

Item 3: The TDAFW pump automatically aligns to condenser circulating water pipes if the Auxiliary Feedwater Storage Tank (CAST) is damaged by tornado. An engineering change will be implemented to align the TDAFW pump to the underground condenser circulating water pipes on low suction pressure. (OPEN ITEM 2)

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission February 28, 2013 Enclosure Page 7 General Integrated Plan Elements Item 5: The Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP) event with Loss of the Ultimate Heat Sink (LUHS) and coincident external event is estimated to take one hour to diagnose based on a staffing study that was performed for INPO Event Report (IER) L1 11-4 (Reference 21).

Item 7: The control room doors must be opened at two hours to maintain acceptable control room temperatures. The time to open doors is based on the analysis performed in Reference 22.

Item 10: Non-critical loads must be disconnected within three hours to preserve the vital batteries. The time is based on an analysis. performed in Reference 23.

Item 12: The spent fuel pool roll-up doors are opened in accordance with NEI 12-06 (Reference 2) to vent steam from the spent fuel pool building. The four hour response time is conservatively selected during refueling outages and subsequent to full core offloads to occur before the onset of boiling. The 15 hour1.736111e-4 days <br />0.00417 hours <br />2.480159e-5 weeks <br />5.7075e-6 months <br /> time response is conservatively selected during normal operation to occur before the onset of boiling as well.

In both cases, elevated dose rates would not occur until many hours later. Both response times are also consistent with the alignment of the diesel pumps to the spent fuel pools in item 11.

Item 14: Sources of water into the ground water sump in the vicinity of the TDAFW pump are isolated early in Phase 2 (8-12 hours) to improve margin to flooding of the auxiliary feedwater pump room. An analysis was performed in Reference 20 that indicates that flooding will not occur for at least 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br />. This analysis will be revised to demonstrate that this time remains unaffected even if potential sources of water from Auxiliary Building or Turbine Building flooding are considered (OPEN ITEM 13). Phase 2 staffing studies will further be performed to validate the acceptability of the time-line (OPEN ITEM 12).

Item 15: Portable pumps are aligned from the refueling water storage tank (RWST) to the intermediate head safety injection (SI) or residual heat removal (RHR) systems to provide reactor coolant system (NC) makeup in about 8 to 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. This time is chosen to correspond with the post trip, peak xenon concentration in the reactor and should provide ample

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission February 28, 2013 Enclosure Page 8 General Integrated Plan Elements time to offset the positive reactivity that will occur due to the decay of xenon and cool down of the reactor coolant system. A calculation will be performed to demonstrate that sufficient negative reactivity can be added through use of a pump and a reactor coolant system vent path to achieve xenon free cool down in accordance with the Pressurized Water Reactor Owner's Group (PWROG) FLEX Support Guidelines (FSG) (Reference 13). (OPEN ITEM 14)

Item 16: Pre-staged portable ground water sump pumps and associated diesel generators are aligned to remove water in the sump inside the auxiliary feedwater pump room at 8 to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. The response time is chosen to provide additional margin to flooding.

An analysis performed in Reference 20 indicates that flooding will not occur for at least 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br />. This analysis will be revised to demonstrate that this time remains unaffected even if potential sources of water from Auxiliary Building or Turbine Building flooding are considered (OPEN ITEM 13).

Item 17: Use of portable fans or Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning (HVAC) units may eventually be required to remove heat or hydrogen (in the case of the vital battery rooms). The response times of 8 to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> are estimated based on existing analyses and engineering judgment. Calculations will be performed to determine room heatup and hydrogen accumulation rates in the vital battery room and heatup rates in the interior doghouses (OPEN ITEM 15 and OPEN ITEM 16).

Item 18: The cold leg accumulators will be isolated in 8 to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> to prevent the injection of nitrogen from the accumulators before the reactor coolant system is cooled down and depressurized to the associated condition. The response time is based on engineering judgment and is largely driven by FSGs that cool down and makeup to the reactor coolant system.

Item 19: The vital batteries will conservatively be recharged in 8 to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. An analysis (Reference 23) indicates that vital battery capacity is greater than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. Future strategies will ensure that battery capability is extended to ensure batteries can be recharged prior to loss of Direct Current (DC) power in Phase 2.

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission February 28, 2013 Enclosure Page 9 General Integrated Plan Elements Item 22: The existing Ultra High Frequency (UHF) communication system and satellite phone system battery capacity will be substantially increased by an engineering change. However, the batteries will eventually be depleted and will need to be recharged.

A response time of 10-24 hours is chosen based on engineering judgment of what can be achieved by the engineering change. (OPEN ITEM 4)

Item 24: If the Auxiliary Feedwater Storage Tank (CAST) is unavailable, the TDAFW pump will automatically align to the underground condenser circulating water pipe headers with an engineering change. (OPEN ITEM 2) An option will also be provided to manually align to the UHS Via the Nuclear Service Water System (RN). The UHS provides a nearly indefinite source of water to the TDAFW pump (although makeup to the UHS is addressed in Phase 3). An evaluation will be performed to determine how long raw water can be used to supply Steam Generators (SGs) without excessively affecting SG capability to remove heat and provide steam to the TDAFW pump. This will help determine when Phase 3 equipment may be needed to assist in providing cleaner water sources. (OPEN ITEM 17)

Item 26: Portable lighting will be put into place around 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> as resources become available.

(OPEN ITEM 9)

Item 27: MNS will transition to Phase 3 using the Regional Response Center (RRC) playbook at around 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

Item 28: Methods will be initiated to circulate and cool air in lower containment subcompartments to prevent any adverse impact on critical instrumentation. The response time is based on engineering judgment and will be confirmed by analysis (OPEN ITEM 19).

Item 29: After 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />, the following will be performed or evaluated. The response time is based on containment analyses (Reference 24) that indicates containment will remain below the design pressure for over 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />.

  • Instrument air will be isolated to containment
  • Evaluate other containment cooling strategies.

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission February 28, 2013 Enclosure Page 10 General Integrated Plan Elements Attachment 1 B provides a discussion of deviations relative to the Nuclear Steam Supply System (NSSS) significant reference analysis. The NSSS vendor for MNS is Westinghouse, and the applicable analysis is WCAP-1 7601-P (Reference 10). The WCAP provides a generic Reactor Coolant System (RCS) inventory coping time based on cooldown assumptions in the generic Station Blackout (SBO) Emergency Operating Procedure (EOP).

The MNS EOPs provide the cooldown strategies consistent with the generic EOP and the WCAP, so the conclusions in the WCAP bound the MNS response. Hence, Attachment 1 B is not applicable.

PWR Installed Equipment Phase 1 Provide a generaldescription of the coping strategies using installed equipment including station modifications that areproposed to maintain core cooling. Identify methods (AFW/EFW) and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.

Strategy with Steam Generators (S/Gs) Available:

In general, the Phase 1 strategy to maintain core cooling involves use of the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump (TDAFWP), feedwater control valves (FCVs) to all four steam generators and steam generator Power-Operated Relief Valves (PORVs) on all four steam generators to provide symmetric cooling to the reactor coolant system. Water is provided to the TDAFWP from one of two sources:

1. Seismic / Other Non Tornado/Hurricane ELAP Events:

Auxiliary Feedwater Storage Tank (CAST) - Analyses were performed to demonstrate that the elevated water storage tank is capable of withstanding the SSE (Reference 33) and the design basis wind load (Reference 18). The CAST contains approximately 300,000 gallons of demineralized water. The CASTs are normally aligned to the TDAFWPs and have sufficient volume to provide about 16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br /> of cooling.

2. Tornado/Hurricane Force Wind ELAP Events:

Buried condenser circulating water pipe headers - These headers are capable of withstanding the design basis wind loading and the design basis tornado (by virtue of not being exposed),

and contain at least a two day supply of raw water. Lake Norman inventory is connected to this piping and can provide an indefinite supply following a design basis tornado or a hurricane. These underground headers are currently normally isolated by valves that must be manually opened. A modification will be performed to provide actuators and logic that will automatically align this source of water to the TDAFWPs if the CAST suction source is lost.

The modification will also provide a means for manually aligning this source of water ifthe CAST is initially available but later depleted after many hours of use. (OPEN ITEM 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.

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission February 28, 2013 Enclosure Page 15 Maintain Core Cooling & Heat Removal Additionally, the Nuclear Service Water intake / discharge headers can provide gravity flow to the TDAFWPs from the UHS via AC powered motor operated valves if manually aligned. These valves would normally open automatically on low pump suction pressure. However, since Order EA-12-049 requires that all AC power be assumed lost, these valves would have to be manually opened to supply water from the UHS to the TDAFWPs. As such, these valves could also be opened to supply water to the TDAFWPs once the CAST is depleted or if the buried condenser circulating water headers are depleted of water.

A modification will also be implemented to provide assured air to the TDAFWP flow control valves and the SG PORVs to allow these valves to be operated from the control room until a source of makeup air / power can be provided in Phase 2. The modification includes addition of several instrument air valves that can quickly be aligned manually at the beginning of the event to bypass several solenoid valves that would otherwise have to be reset or re-powered.

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

Steam Generators Available:

In general, the Phase 2 strategy to maintain core cooling involves continued use of the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump (TDAFWP), feedwater control valves (FCVs) to all four steam generators and steam generator PORVs on all four steam generators to provide symmetric cooling to the reactor coolant system. Water is provided to the TDAFWP from one of two sources:

1. Seismic / Other Non Tornado/Hurricane ELAP Events:

The CAST inventory will eventually be depleted at around 16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br /> into the event. Phase 2 will then be implemented using one or more of the following approaches:

  • Makeup to the CAST using a low pressure portable pump and the existing "Section B.5.b mitigating strategy" (Reference 12) procedure.
  • If automatic TDAFWP suction alignment to the buried condenser circulating water piping headers has not already occurred, manually realign the TDAFWP suction to the:

" Buried condenser circulating water piping headers which contain at least two days worth of cooling water.

-or-

" UHS by manually opening the AC motor operated nuclear service water (RN) valves

" Align low pressure portable pump(s) to deliver raw water makeup from the UHS to the steam generators. The primary SG feed connection is already available (a pre-existing connection installed pursuant to Section B.5.b mitigating strategy and can be used in conjunction with the low pressure portable pumps to provide makeup to all four SGs. This connection is located on top of the Auxiliary Building and is protected on the north and south sides from wind and missiles by surrounding structures. A modification will be implemented that will provide alternate SG feed connections in the interior and exterior doghouses that can supply makeup to all four SGs. These alternate SG feed connections will be fully protected against external events by virtue of being located within the Category I doghouse structures. (OPEN ITEM 5)

2. Tornado/Hurricane Force Wind ELAP Events:

The CAST is assumed to be unavailable, and Phase 1 coping relies on automatic alignment of the TDAFW suction to the buried condenser circulating water piping headers, which can provide at least two days of cooling water. Phase 2 will then be implemented using one or more of the following approaches:

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission February 28, 2013 Enclosure Page 18 Maintain Core Cooling & Heat Removal PWR Portable Equipment Phase 2

  • Manually realign the TDAFWP suction to the UHS by manually opening the AC motor operated nuclear service water (RN) valves
  • Align low pressure portable pump(s) to deliver raw water makeup from the UHS to the SGs.

The primary SG feed connection is already available (a pre-existing connection installed pursuant to the Section B.5.b mitigating strategy) and can be used in conjunction with the low pressure portable pumps to provide makeup to all four SGs. This connection is located on top of the Auxiliary Building and is protected on the north and south sides from wind and missiles by surrounding structures. A modification will be implemented that will provide alternate SG feed connections in the interior and exterior doghouses that can supply makeup to all four SGs.

These alternate SG feed connections will be fully protected against external events by virtue of being located within the Category I doghouse structures. (OPEN ITEM 5)

MNS procedures will be written in accordance with PWROG generic FLEX Support Guidelines (FSGs)(Reference 13) for each of these options (OPEN ITEM 9). For use of the low pressure pump option, the SGs will be depressurized below the discharge pressure of the low pressure pump but above a pressure that would result in injection of nitrogen from the cold leg accumulators

(-300 psig) into the reactor coolant system. The pumps will be specified and procured to provide enough flow (-300 gpm) to remove decay heat.

SG and reactor coolant system pressures will eventually decrease even further due to a decrease in decay heat. The Cold Leg Accumulator (CLA) valves will be re-powered and closed to prevent nitrogen from being injected into the reactor coolant system (OPEN ITEM 9).

Conceptual design sketches for the portable Steam Generator makeup scheme are provided in B.

TDAFWP FCV and SG PORV Air The TDAFWP FCV and SG PORV assured air systems will eventually be depleted. Portable diesel air compressors will be provided to maintain an air supply to these valves. The assured air system(s) will be designed to provide at least 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> of air before portable compressed air needs to be provided.

Provide a generaldescriptionof the coping strategiesusing on-site portable equipment including modifications that areproposed to maintain core cooling. Identify methods (Low Leak RCP Seals and/or boratedhighpressure RCS makeup) and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.

There are several portable equipment needs and methodologies that will be used in Phase 2 to maintain RCS inventory control as follows:

Reactor Makeup and Negative Reactivity Addition Due to leakage past the reactor coolant pump seals, the core will eventually uncover if reactor makeup is not established. Additionally, shutdown margin will be reduced as a result of xenon decay and cooldown of the reactor coolant system. An analysis will be performed to determine required boration. (OPEN ITEM 14)

In order to compensate for the loss of inventory and ensure the reactor remains subcritical, the PWROG Core Cooling Position Paper (Reference 15) provides three options for reactor makeup:

1. High pressure pump (estimated to be greater than or equal to 1600 psig)
2. Low pressure pump (approximately 650 psig)
3. Passive Cold Leg Accumulator (CLA) injection Normal Operation The MNS will employ the first option listed (high pressure pump) for the RCS makeup method since it is simpler than the other approaches and can be implemented earlier in the event.

Letdown will be established using the reactor head vent solenoid valves, if required. These valves are powered by vital DC.

The portable high pressure electric pump and associated hose will be staged in the Auxiliary Building to provide makeup to the reactor coolant system with borated water from the Refueling Water Storage Tank (RWST). The pump pressure and flow rate (>40 gpm @ >1600 psig) will be established in accordance with the PWROG Core Cooling Position Paper (Reference 15).

Sufficient borated water will be added to maintain the core subcritical, at a xenon free condition, at 350TF.

A modification will be implemented (OPEN ITEM 5) to provide permanent process connections for the portable RCS makeup pump suction and discharge. Primary and alternate RCS makeup connections will be provided on the Intermediate Head Safety Injection (NI) discharge headers.

The connections will provide diverse makeup paths (separate divisions), as either connection can be aligned to supply the cold legs or hot legs. An additional RWST process connection will be installed to provide a borated water suction supply to the portable RCS makeup pump.

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission February 28, 2013 Enclosure Page 27 Maintain RCS Inventory Control PWR Portable Equipment Phase 2:

Shutdown Operation For shutdown operations, MNS will employ the second option listed (low pressure pump) for the RCS makeup method. A second lower pressure, higher flow (-300 gpm @ <400 psig) electric pump will be provided to provide borated makeup to the reactor coolant system if the event were to occur during a refueling outage. The low pressure pump(s), associated fittings, and hoses will be stored in the FLEX storage facilities.

Modifications will be implemented to provide permanent process connections for the portable RCS makeup pump. A primary RCS makeup connection will be provided on the Residual Heat Removal (ND) discharge header. (OPEN ITEM 5) The Residual Heat Removal connectionwill provide the ability to make-up to either the RCS cold legs or hot legs. The alternate RCS make-up connections will be provided on the Intermediate Head Safety Injection (NI) discharge headers, as described previously for normal operation. An additional RWST process connection (same as that described for normal operation) will be installed to provide a borated water suction supply to the portable RCS makeup pump.

PWR Installed Equipment Phase 1:

Provide a generaldescriptionof the coping strategies using installedequipment including modifications that areproposed to maintaincontainment. Identify methods (containment spray/Hydrogen igniter) and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.

The MNS Reactor Building includes a metal containment vessel and annulus region between the metal containment and a reinforced concrete enclosure. The containment vessel design pressure is 15 psig.

The MNS containment is initially passively cooled by an ice condenser. Steam leaving the primary system is cooled as it rises from lower containment, through the ice condenser and into upper containment. A containment analysis (Reference 24) was performed based on reactor coolant pump seal leakage that decreased with reactor coolant system pressure over time. The results of the analysis indicated that thedesign pressure in containment would not be exceeded prior to 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />. Although the function between leakage and time may change somewhat when the FSGs are implemented because action will be proactively taken to both restore reactor inventory and cool down and depressurize the reactor coolant system to limit leakage, containment pressure is still expected to remain below the design pressure for 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />.

Since the overall FLEX strategy is aimed at preventing core damage, the engineering change process will drive out an evaluation to prioritize operator actions associated with containment isolation as time allows. For example, the containment isolations to the Containment Ventilation Unit Condensate Drain Tank (VUCDT) will be closed first since this path connects containment atmosphere directly to the Auxiliary Building.

Primary Strategy One train of hydrogen igniters will be re-powered and restored to service in Phase 2 using the portable power strategy described under Safety Support Function, Phase 2.

Containment Spray (CS) capability will be restored in accordance with PWROG generic FLEX Support Guidelines (Reference 13), if required. An analysis will be performed to validate that containment spray for temperature/pressure control is not required over the long term. If the long term containment analysis determines that containment temperature and/or pressure will reach unacceptable levels over the long term, connections installed for Section B.5.b containment spray mitigating strategies will be used with the portable diesel driven pumps to supply water from the UHS to the connections located in the Auxiliary building. (OPEN ITEM 37)

Additional analyses (Reference 34) verified that the annulus portion of the containment does not increase in pressure during the long term, since it passively relieves through the annulus HVAC system (VE) exhaust dampers.

Alternate Strategy The opposite train of hydrogen igniters can be re-powered and restored to service in Phase 2 using the portable power strategy described under Safety Support Function, Phase 2.

If the long term containment analysis determines that containment temperature and/or pressure will reach unacceptable levels over the long term, a modification will be performed to add a connection leading to the 'A' containment spray header. (OPEN ITEM 5) A diesel-powered pump will be used to supply water from the UHS to the connection at the pressure and flow rate required to establish a spray field in containment.

  • Portable lighting
  • Verify supporting analyses/calculations support current FLEX strategy, prior to implementation 10 (OPEN ITEM 10) Core Cooling and Heat Removal 1,2,3

'B' RN to CA Pump Suction Re-route This engineering change involves a re-route of the 'B' emergency service water (RN) header supply to the Auxiliary Feedwater (CA) pumps from the discharge to the inlet side of the emergency diesel generator heat exchanger. This engineering change is necessary to ensure the RN system remains the source of water to the CA pumps for design basis events (e.g.

not ELAP and LUHS). Under some limited conditions and scenarios for the current configuration, air might otherwise be inadvertently introduced into the CA pump suction.

Also provides primary and alternate connection points for diesel air compressors.

2 Implement plant modification: Assured Water Supply to the TDAFWPs Automatically aligns the underground circulating water header to the TDAFWP in the event the Auxiliary Feedwater Storage Tank (CAST) is lost. Also includes a Technical Specification change to raise the Nuclear Service Water (RN) to Auxiliary Feedwater low pressure signal that automatically aligns the Auxiliary Feedwater pumps to RN subsequent to a loss of the CAST.

3 Implement plant modification: SFP Wide-Ranqe Level Instrumentation Installs two new Wide-Range SFP level instruments, which are electrically independent, battery backed, and spatially separated per NEI 12-02.

4 Implement plant modification: UHF Communication System Upgqrades Extends battery capacity for system through Phase 1 to allow sufficient time to re-charge batteries in Phase 2. Also provide additional TSC satellite antennae.. The modification scope will also improve the seismic ruggedness of the system and reliability in the event of tornado/wind missile.

5 Implement plant modification: Process Connections Provides redundant process connections to provide steam generator (SG) makeup, reactor makeup and negative reactivity addition, spent fuel pool (SFP) cooling, and containment spray.

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission February 28, 2013 Enclosure Page 2 OPEN ITEM # Open Item Description 6 Implement plant modification: Permanent Connections for Portable Electrical Equipment NEI 12-06 requires that a primary and alternate method be provided to supply power to the vital batteries, the hydrogen igniters, the portable RCS reactor makeup pumps, and the cold leg accumulator valves.

Permanently installed MCC buckets will be provided to provide the primary method for re-powering these components. The buckets will contain external power connections. Portable MCC buckets are used as an alternate strategy and connection to re-power the associated bus.

The alternate strategy will provide defense-in-depth for the primary strategy.

7 Implement plant modification: FLEX Storagie Facilities Three FLEX storage facilities will be provided that are designed to ASCE 7-10 to withstand a Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE) and the maximum expected tornado and hurricane winds as outlined in NEI 12-06. The storage facilities will be located so that the most probable tornado paths will not affect the plant and more than one of facilities concurrently.

8 Implement plant modification: Submersible Ground Water Sump Pump Portable submersible sump pumps with permanent cable connections between the pumps and FLEX generator connection points at approximately grade level will be provided. All components will be located in a seismically robust facility.

9 Implement plant modification: FLEX Strategy Implementation This engineering change will drive out the analysis necessary to:

  • Support the overall FLEX strategy; document the overall FLEX strategy
  • Specify, procure and stage portable FLEX equipment
  • Generate the maintenance and operating procedures that support the portable FLEX equipment
  • Create the new and revised FSGs, EOPs, and other procedures to implement the strategy
  • Drive out the staffing studies and training needed to support these procedures

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission February 28, 2013 Enclosure Page 3 OPEN ITEM # Open Item Description 10 Implement plant modification: 'B' RN to CA Pump Suction Re-route This engineering change involves a re-route of the 'B' emergency service water (RN) header supply to the auxiliary feedwater (CA) pumps from the outlet to the inlet side of the emergency diesel generator heat exchanger. This engineering change is necessary to ensure the RN system remains the source of water to the CA pumps for design basis events (e.g. not ELAP and LUHS). Under some limited conditions and scenarios for the current configuration, air might otherwise be inadvertently introduced into the CA pump suction.

11 Implement plant modification: Install Emergency Hardhat Light Storage Boxes and Hardhat Hooks This Engineering Change installs storage boxes at diverse locations for previously procured personnel hardhat lights.

12 A staffing Phase 2 study will be performed in accordance with NEI 12-01 to verify that all actions can be taken in accordance with the timeline. Time constraints shown in Attachment 1A will be validated to be reasonable as the strategy is finalized.

13 An analysis was performed in Duke Energy Calculation MCC 1223.31-00-0012 (Reference 20) that indicates that flooding will not occur for at least 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br />. This analysis will be revised to demonstrate that this time remains unaffected even if potential sources of water from Auxiliary Building or Turbine Building flooding are considered.

14 A calculation will be performed to demonstrate that sufficient negative reactivity can be added through use of a pump and a reactor coolant system vent path to achieve xenon free cool down in accordance with the PWROG FSG guidelines (Reference 13).

15 Complete vital battery area room heatup and hydrogen accumulation calculation to determine if portable fans or HVAC units may be required, and timeframe for deployment.

16 Complete a calculation to determine when elevated interior doghouse temperatures adversely impact the FLEX strategy and to evaluate methods for mitigation.

17 An evaluation will be performed to determine how long raw water can be used to supply SGs without excessively affecting SG capability to remove heat and provide steam to the TDAFW pump. This will help determine when Phase 3 equipment may be needed to assist in providing cleaner water sources.

18 MNS will evaluate the need to provide freeze protection for critical instrumentation and exposed FLEX connections.

19 Methods will be initiated to circulate and cool air in lower containment subcompartments to prevent any adverse impact on critical instrumentation. The response time is based on engineering judgment and will be confirmed by analysis.

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission February 28, 2013 Enclosure Page 4 OPEN ITEM.# Open Item Description 20 Deployment routes will be established and are expected to be utilized to transport FLEX equipment to the deployment areas. The identified paths and deployment areas will be accessible during all modes of operation. This deployment strategy will be included within an administrative program in order to keep pathways clear or actions to clear the pathways.

21 MNS will implement programmatic controls in accordance with NEI 12-06 (Reference 2). Procedures and guidelines will be reviewed and revised and/or generated as required to address additional programmatic controls as a result of FLEX requirements.

22 Equipment associated with FLEX mitigation strategies will be procured as commercial equipment with design, storage, maintenance, testing, and configuration control in accordance with NEI 12-06 Section 11.1 (Reference 2).

23 Installed structures, systems and components pursuant to 10 CFR 50.63(a) will continue to meet augmented guidelines of Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.155, Station Blackout (Reference 11).

24 The unavailability of equipment and applicable connections that directly performs a FLEX mitigation strategy will be managed using plant equipment control guidelines developed in accordance with NEI 12-06 Section 11.5 (Reference 2).

25 Programs and processes will be established to ensure that personnel proficiency in the mitigation of beyond-design-basis events is developed and maintained in accordance with NEI 12-06 Section!1.6 (Reference 2).

26 The FLEX strategies and basis will be maintained in overall FLEX basis documents.

27 Existing plant configuration control documents will be modified to ensure that changes to the plant design, physical plant layout, roads, buildings, and miscellaneous structures will not adversely impact the approved FLEX strategies in accordance with NEI 12-06 Section 11.8 (Reference 2).

28 Training will be initiated through the Systematic Approach to Training (SAT) process. Training will be developed and provided to all involved plant personnel based on any procedural changes or new procedures developed to address and identify FLEX activities. Applicable training will be completed prior to the implementation of FLEX.

29 The industry will establish two Regional Response Centers (RRCs) to support utilities during beyond-design-basis events.

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission February 28, 2013 Enclosure Page 5 OPEN ITEM # Open Item Description 30 The N+1 FLEX storage facilities will be designed in accordance with ASCE 7-10, Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures (Reference 14). The FLEX storage facilities will be designed in accordance with ASCE 7-10 (Reference 14), to withstand the maximum anticipated hurricane and tornado winds as outlined in NEI 12-06 (Reference 2). The FLEX buildings will be located in accordance with NEI 12-06 (Reference 2) Section 7.3.1 to prevent damage to more than one of the three facilities due to tornado missiles.

31 FLEX storage facilities will be located above any potential site flood level, and/or the effects of localized flooding will be evaluated in the FLEX facility design and equipment deployment.

32 Debris removal/remediation equipment and procedures will be provided to support FLEX equipment deployment.

33 Snow and ice removal/remediation equipment and procedures will be provided to support FLEX equipment deployment.

34 FLEX equipment will be capable of operation under extreme temperatures, and suitably maintained to ensure standby readiness.

FLEX storage facilities will be designed to accommodate maximum snow and ice loading. FLEX storage facilities will be vented to maintain acceptable temperature.

35 An evaluation will be performed to ensure that the 300 gpm pump is capable of adequate flow and pressure to support feed and bleed core cooling in typical Mode 5 and Mode 6 configurations.

36 Since the overall FLEX strategy is aimed at preventing core damage, the engineering change process will drive out an evaluation to prioritize operator actions associated with containment isolation as time allows.

For example, the containment isolations to the Containment Ventilation Unit Condensate Drain Tank (VUCDT) will be closed first since this path connects containment atmosphere directly to the Auxiliary Building.

37 An analysis will be performed to validate that containment spray for temperature/pressure control is not required over the long term. If the long term containment analysis determines that containment temperature and/or pressure will reach unacceptable levels over the long term, connections installed for Section B.5.b containment spray mitigating strategies will be used with the portable diesel driven pumps to supply water from the UHS to the connections located in the Auxiliary Building.

38 Fans in containment that circulate air will be restored as required to cool the cubicle areas and to prevent the increase in temperature from having an adverse impact on essential instrumentation. The engineering change process will drive out an evaluation to determine the appropriate timing of these actions.

39 Evaluate other long term strategies for cooling containment such as circulating the air volume in the annulus.

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission February 28, 2013 Enclosure Page 6 OPEN ITEM # Open Item Description 40 In order to prevent or mitigate this inevitability:

1. Portable power distribution equipment will be used to repower the vital batteries, or
2. An alternate strategy to deploy portable generators and cables will be developed to directly reestablish power to the power supplies in the 7300 cabinets thereby re-powering the instrumentation loops, or
3. An alternate strategy to utilize handheld instruments will be developed to tap into the instrument loops locally to monitor essential parameters.

41 An analysis (Reference 22) was completed to demonstrate that adequate control room cooling would be available if action was taken to open various doors at around 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> after the event occurs. This action will be incorporated into procedures.

42 An evaluation will be performed to determine diesel fuel, gasoline and two-cycle oil requirements for Phase 1 and Phase 2 portable equipment.

43 Analysis will be performed to determine commodities requirements.

44 Evaluate SFP to ensure predicted makeup water dilution rates in the Spent Fuel Pools for the coping strategies described herein are bounded.

45 Analysis will be performed to determine radiation protection equipment requirements.

46 These instruments will be used in the FSGs in accordance with the PWROG guidance (Reference 13). Setpoint uncertainty analyses will be developed in accordance with PWROG guidance (Reference 13).

47 A portable battery pack with inverter is also being evaluated for use.

The battery pack would be rapidly deployed for use to close the CLA motor-operated valves (MOVs) outside of containment penetration without reliance on the valve's limit or torque switches or the valve's relay circuitry.
