Clinton Power Station, Unit 1 Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan General Integrated Plan Elements BWR Site:
Clinton Power Station Determine Applicable Input the hazards applicable to the site; seismic, external Extreme External Hazard flood, high winds, snow, ice, cold, high temps.
Describe how NEI 12-06 sections 5 - 9 were applied and Ref: NEI 12-06 section 4.0 -9.0 the basis for why the plant screened out for certain hazards.
JLD-ISG-2012-01 section 1.0 Seismic events, except soil liquefaction; external flooding; severe storms with high winds; snow, ice and extreme cold; and high temperatures were determined to be applicable Extreme External Hazards for Clinton Power Station (CPS) per the guidance of NEI 12-06 and are as follows:
Seismic Hazard Assessment:
Per the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) Section 3.7.1.1 [Reference 1], the seismic criteria for CPS include two design basis earthquake spectra: Operating Basis Earthquake (OBE) and the Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE).
UFSAR section 2.5.4.8 [Reference 2] was reviewed to perform a limited evaluation of the liquefaction potential outside the power block area for a safe shutdown earthquake (SSE) event.
There are no liquefaction susceptible soils within the area of the principle structures for a SSE event with a maximum horizontal acceleration equal to 0.25 g. Therefore, the likelihood of liquefaction at the site for a SSE event with a maximum horizontal acceleration equal to 0.25 g is low.
Thus the Clinton site screens in for an assessment for seismic hazard except for soil liquefaction.
External Flood Hazard Assessment:
The cooling lake is designed to withstand the effects of a probable maximum storm occurring over the entire drainage basin upstream of the dam site. Results of the hydrologic analyses discussed in UFSAR sections 2.4.3 [Reference 3] and 2.4.8 [Reference 4] show that a probable maximum flood (PMF) runoff into the lake routed through the spillways will raise the lake water level to elevation 708.8 feet at the dam site. The backwater effect along the North Fork finger will raise the PMF water level at the station site to elevation 708.9 feet.
Superimposing the wind wave effect due to a sustained 40 mph wind acting on the PMF water level will result in wave runup elevations of 711.9 feet and 713.8 feet for significant waves and maximum (1%) waves, respectively, at the station site.

The station's Seismic Category I structures with grade Page 1 of 59
Clinton Power Station, Unit 1 Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan elevation of 736 feet will not be affected by the PMF design conditions. The circulating water screen house is designed to withstand the effects of PMF. [Reference 5]
The following protection measures are adopted for Seismic Category I systems and components located in the circulating water screen house and located below the PMF level.
Water stops are provided in all construction joints up to the maximum flood level.
Water seal rings are provided for all penetrations in exterior walls below the maximum flood level.
Watertight doors designed to withstand the hydrostatic head of the maximum flood level are provided for all doorways located on both the entrance walls and the internal walls of the Shutdown Service Water (SX) pump rooms which are below the maximum flood level.
Hatches are provided on the roof of the SX pump structure (elevation 730 feet) for access during PMF.
In accordance with NEI 12-06 section 6.2.1, Susceptibility to External Flooding, CPS screens in for an assessment for external flood hazard since the site is "kept dry" by the measures listed above that protect safety related components in the circulating water screen house below the PMF.
[Reference 6]
Severe Storms with High Winds Hazard Assessment:
Clinton site is located at 40° 10' 19.5" north latitude and 88° 50'3" west longitude [Reference 7]. NEI 12-06 Figure 7-2, Recommended Tornado Design Wind Speeds for the 10.6/year Probability Level indicates Clinton is in Region 1 - 200 mph
[Reference 8]. Thus the Clinton site screens in for an assessment for high winds and tornados, including missiles produced by these events.
Snow, Ice and Extreme Cold Hazard Assessment:
The guidelines provided in NEI 12-06 section 8.2.1 generally include the need to consider extreme snowfall at plant sites above the 35th parallel, which includes the Clinton site, located at 40° 10' 19.5" North and 88° 50' 3" West [Reference 9].
The Clinton site is located within the region characterized by EPRI as ice severity level 5 (NEI 12-06, Figure 8-2, Maximum Ice Storm Severity Maps) [Reference 10]. Consequently, the Clinton site is subject to severe icing conditions that could also cause catastrophic destruction to electrical transmission lines.
Thus the Clinton site screens in for an assessment for snow, ice, and extreme cold hazard.

Consequently, the Clinton site is subject to severe icing conditions that could also cause catastrophic destruction to electrical transmission lines.
Thus the Clinton site screens in for an assessment for snow, ice, and extreme cold hazard.

Clinton Power Station, Unit 1 Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan High Temperatures Hazard Assessment:
NEI 12-06 section 9.2 requires all sites to consider the impact of extreme high temperatures [Reference 11]. Central Illinois summers are warm and humid, with periods of extremely hot weather over 100°F. UFSAR Section 2.3.2 [Reference 12]
discusses the local meteorology for CPS.
Thus the Clinton site screens in for an assessment for extreme high temperature hazard.

Containment Analysis As part of the implementation plan of NEI 12-06, the BWROG performed evaluations of generic Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) response to Extended Loss of AC Power (FLAP) events to demonstrate the efficacy of the FLEX strategies. BWROG report NEDC -33771P Rev 1, "GEH Evaluation of FLEX Implementation Guidelines"
[Reference 1] provides the results of those evaluations for several representative BWR plant designs. Based upon the initial results of this evaluation, the BWROG has initiated additional analyses [Reference 5] for the BWR/6 design with Mark III containments to develop additional strategies for containment cooling that are not currently included in this revision of the report.
These additional strategies specifically address actions necessary to mitigate the suppression pool heat-up during ELAP/LUHS events that could challenge containment integrity. These strategies include suppression pool inventory addition/letdown, alternate suppression pool cooling methods, and/or aligning FLEX equipment to provide AC power to installed plant equipment for containment heat removal.

Clinton Power Station, Unit 1 Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan Several Clinton Modular Accident Analysis Program (MAAP) [Reference 4] cases were run to analyze methods of containment heat removal, including containment venting, suppression pool feed and bleed, and suppression pool cooling using a FLEX strategy. The MAAP cases indicate an alternate suppression pool cooling method provides the fewest operational challenges while providing margin to the primary containment design pressure limit. UHS temperature was conservatively designated at 91.4°F in the alternate suppression pool cooling cases.
The following time constraints were used as MAAP input parameters, or were identified in the alternate suppression pool cooling MAAP Case 14 results:
a.
RPV pressure is reduced to a pressure band of 150-250 psig at a rate of 50°F/hr starting at TO+1 hr.
b.

Suppression Pool Makeup (SPMU) from the upper containment pool is designated to occur at 180°F suppression pool temperature to extend the time required to establish the suppression pool cooling lineup, and to allow time for a FLEX generator to provide AC power to the SPMU valves in the containment. This occurs at To+5 hrs.
d.
The suppression pool cooling lineup is designated to occur at To+8 hrs to provide the maximum time for establishing a suppression pool cooling lineup using a FLEX strategy, while maintaining acceptable containment parameter values. The service water tube side flow from the FLEX pump was designated at 2000 gpm, and the shell side suppression pool flow was designated at 1500 gpm. The peak suppression pool temperature in this case is 213°F at To+ -24.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br />. This value is well below the acceptable suction temperature established in the BWROG feasibility study for RCIC operation in a prolonged station blackout [Reference 7]. Peak containment pressure is 25 psia at To+ -41 hours, compared to containment design pressure of 29.7 psia.

RCIC Room Analysis The purpose of this GOTHIC analysis [Reference 8] was to demonstrate the transient RCIC Pump Room, RCIC Instrument Room, and Access Aisle temperature response during an ELAP/LUHS. The temperatures in these areas were reviewed both with and without compensatory actions to provide additional cooling to the pump room.
The analysis shows that with gland seal steam leakage and no compensatory actions, the RCIC Instrument Room exceeds its temperature limit of 145°F at 42 hours4.861111e-4 days <br />0.0117 hours <br />6.944444e-5 weeks <br />1.5981e-5 months <br /> while the RCIC Pump Room is maintained below 145°F indefinitely.

The timeline reflects a much earlier time (To+ 6 hrs) to accomplish this simple but critical task.
FLEX will provide a compensatory action to supply cooling to the room using a portable blower and ducting to move air through the security door between the Auxiliary and Turbine Buildings and into the RCIC room.
The flow rate assumed in the analysis was 9500 cfm. The results also show that when this compensatory action is completed at To+59.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br />, the room temperature drops sharply and is maintained at an acceptable temperature indefinitely.

SRV Pneumatic Supply Each SRV is provided with an air accumulator located in the drywell capable of providing for a total of thirty-seven (37) lifts without backup. Additionally, nine (9) of the SRVs are capable of being supplied with actuating air from backup air bottles located in the Auxiliary Building, providing enough air for an additional two-hundred (200) lifts [Reference 12]. Since the cooldown begins at To+ 1 hr, lining up the backup air bottles at To+ 2 hrs will be needed to ensure a pneumatic supply is maintained for controlling RPV pressure in the specified band. Providing FLEX capability to recharge ADS backup air bottles at To+
24 hrs will ensure a long term supply of SRV actuating air.

Clinton Power Station, Unit 1 Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan 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 description of the coping strategies using installed equipment including modifications that are proposed to maintain core cooling. Identify methods (RCICIHPCIIIC) and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.
Mode 1, 2, and 3 At To in a Station Blackout (SBO) event the reactor will scram on a load reject signal. Following a reactor scram, steam generation will continue at a reduced rate due to core fission product decay heat. Since the reactor vessel is isolated, and the feedwater supply unavailable, Safety Relief Valves (SRVs) will automatically (or remote manually) maintain vessel pressure within desired limits. The water level in the reactor vessel will drop due to continued steam generation by decay heat [Reference 1]. Upon reaching Reactor Vessel Water Level-Low Low, Level 2 the RCIC System will be initiated automatically [Reference 2). RCIC can also be initiated manually from the Main Control Room or from the Remote Shutdown Panel.
Sixteen (16) SRVs are installed on the main steam lines inside the drywell. The valves can be actuated in two ways: they will relieve pressure by a Nuclear System Protection System (NSPS) pressure transmitter and trip unit actuation with Class 1E DC power (relief mode) or by mechanical actuation without power (safety mode). In addition to the relief and safety modes, seven (7) of the SRVs can be actuated by the Automatic Depressurization System (ADS) logic through NSPS. The suppression pool provides a heat sink for steam relieved by these valves. SRV operation may be controlled manually from the control room to hold the desired reactor pressure [Reference 3]. Each SRV can be actuated from one of two installed DC solenoid valves which open to supply pneumatic pressure to the valve operating piston.
Each SRV is provided with an air accumulator located in the drywell capable of providing for a total of thirty-seven (37) lifts without backup. Additionally, nine (9) of the SRVs are capable of being supplied with actuating air from one of two banks of backup air bottles located in the Auxiliary Building. These bottles are sized to provide for a minimum of an additional one-hundred (100) lifts per bank [Reference 4]. The backup air bottles can be lined up manually in Phase 1, or remotely during Phase 2 after the FLEX generator has been placed in service.
The NSPS power supply system is designed to provide adequate uninterrupted power to all the NSPS loads during all modes of operation including abnormal and accident conditions [Reference 5]. SRV actuation instrumentation is powered from the Division 1 and Division 2 NSPS sub-systems [Reference 6].
Each sub-system is capable of independently actuating the logic that supplies Class 1E DC power to one of two solenoids to each SRV. Additionally, all of the essential parameter instruments needed for the core cooling function are powered from the NSPS system and are available in Phase 1 [Reference 7].
The Class 1E DC power system supplies 125 VDC power to unit Class 1E loads. The primary power sources are battery chargers. The system includes batteries, battery chargers, motor control centers, and DC
' 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.

Clinton Power Station, Unit 1 Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan distribution panels. The system is divided into four divisions, each with its own independent distribution network, battery, battery charger, and redundant load group. A swing battery charger is also part of the system that can be connected to the 125 VDC buses for supplying backup power during periods when the normal battery charger for the Division 1, 2 or 4 bus is being maintained [Reference 81. The RCIC system valves required for automatic and manual operation, one solenoid for each of the 16 SRVs, and an NSPS inverter are all supplied from the Division 1 Class 1E DC power system.
During Phase 1, RPV makeup is provided from RCIC with suction from the suppression pool, and RPV pressure control is provided by the SRVs. Since these are loads on the Division 1 battery, shedding of non-essential loads on the battery is performed to extend the DC coping time to a minimum of 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />
[Reference 9].
A gradual cooldown of the Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) will be performed with SRVs, and RPV pressure will be controlled between approximately 150 and 250 psig. RPV makeup will continue to be provided from RCIC until RPV pressure requires a transition to Phase 2 methods. Guidance will be provided to open the RCIC pump room doors and provide air flow to maintain the habitable conditions in the room
[Reference 10].
Mode 4 and 5 When in Cold Shutdown or Refueling, many variables exist which impact the ability to cool the core. In the event of an ELAP/UHS during these Modes, installed plant systems cannot be relied upon to cool the core, thus transition to Phase 2 will begin immediately. All efforts will be made to expeditiously provide core cooling and minimize heat-up and repressurization. Exelon has a program in place [Reference 11] to determine the time to boil for all conditions during shutdown periods. This time will be used to determine the time required to complete transition to Phase 2.
To accommodate the activities of RPV disassembly and refueling, water levels in the RPV and the reactor cavity are often changed. The most limiting condition is the case in which the reactor head is removed and water level in the RPV is at or below the flange. If an ELAP/LUHS occurs during this condition then (depending on the time after shutdown) boiling in the core may occur quite rapidly.
Deploying and implementing portable FLEX pumps to supply injection flow must commence immediately from the time of the event. This should be plausible because more personnel are on site during outages to provide the necessary resources. Strategies for makeup water include deploying a FLEX pump to take suction from the UHS as described in the Phase 2 Core Cooling section.
Guidance will be provided to ensure that sufficient area is available for deployment and that haul paths remain accessible without interference from outage equipment during refueling outages.

Provide a general description of the coping strategies using on-site portable equipment including modifications that are proposed to maintain core cooling. Identify methods (RCIC/HPC11lG} and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.
During Phase 2, high pressure RPV makeup is provided from RCIC, and RPV pressure control is provided from RCIC and the SRVs. A pre-staged 480 VAC generator will be lined up to the Division 1 AC distribution system to repower the Division 1 battery charger and enable the continued use of RCIC, SRVs, and vital instrumentation. A FLEX air compressor will be staged to make up to the ADS backup air bottles, if required.
Alternatively, a separate generator can be lined up to the swing battery charger to maintain the Division 1 DC bus. [Reference 1]
To accomplish low pressure RPV makeup when RCIC is no longer available, external water connections will be hard-piped to a location that supports connection to the modified Low Pressure Core Spray (LPCS)
[Reference 2] or alternatively the Residual Heat Removal (RHR) C [Reference 31 injection header. A pre-staged section of fire hose will allow the final connection from the external water supply to the injection header. The injection valves for these two systems are located outside the primary containment and can be operated manually with the handwheel or electrically via the FLEX generator.
RPV pressure will need to be further reduced to approximately 50 psig with SRVs to achieve the flow rate necessary from the external water connection. The supply to the external water connections is described in the Safety Function Support Phase 2 section. The external connection will be capable of meeting the decay heat boil-off rate, plus the assumed system leakage from reactor recirculation pump seals.
Core cooling can be maintained indefinitely with RCIC first, then the portable diesel driven pump(s) with SRVs controlling RPV pressure. [Reference 4]

Clinton Power Station, Unit 1 Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan Maintain Containment Determine Baseline coping capability with installed coping 2 modifications not including FLEX modifications, utilizing methods described in Table 3-1 of NEI 12-06:
Containment Venting or Alternate Heat Removal Hydrogen Igniters (Mark III containments only)
BWR Installed Equipment Phase 1:
Provide a general description of the coping strategies using installed equipment including modifications that are proposed to maintain containment. Identify methods (containment vent or alternative /Hydrogen Igniters) and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.
During Phase 1, containment integrity is maintained by normal design features of the containment, such as the containment isolation valves. In accordance with NEI 12-06, the containment isolation actions delineated in the SBO procedure are sufficient.
RPV pressure will be gradually reduced with SRVs to approximately 150 psig while the suppression pool has sufficient heat capacity to absorb a portion of the sensible heat in the reactor. RPV pressure will be controlled between 150 - 250 psig. Decay heat will continue to heat up the suppression pool during the initial phase through RCIC exhaust and SRV operation. The water in the upper containment pool is transferred to the suppression pool once a FLEX generator has been lined up to the 480 VAC distribution system, and power is available to the SPMU valves. This is a Phase 2 action relying on FLEX equipment, expected to occur at 180°F suppression pool temperature, at T0+5 hours [Reference 1].
Suppression Pool Level and Containment Pressure instruments remain available during Phase 1 since they are powered from Division 1 NSPS [Reference 21. Suppression Pool Temperature is manually obtained using procedure CPS 4200.010003 MONITORING CNMT TEMPERATURES DURING A SBO [Reference 3].
The Hydrogen Igniter System (HIS) is designed to ignite hydrogen in the unlikely occurrence of a degraded core event which results in the generation of excessive quantities of hydrogen from a large metal-water reaction in the RPV. The HIS is designed to burn hydrogen at low concentrations, thereby maintaining the concentration of hydrogen below which, if ignited, could lead to containment overpressurization failure
[Reference 4].
Containment heat removal and hydrogen igniter operation are not possible during Phase 1 since they both rely on the availability of 480 VAC power. These functions rely on deployment of portable equipment to meet the water and power requirements. These requirements are met in Phase 2.

Provide a general description of the coping strategies using on-site portable equipment including modifications that are proposed to maintain containment. Identify methods (containment vent or alternative Hydrogen Igniters) and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.
During Phase 2, a pre-staged 480 VAC generator will be lined up to the Division 1, or alternatively Division 2 AC distribution to repower 1SM001A and 1SM002A, or alternatively 1SM001B and 1SM002B Upper Containment Pool Makeup to Suppression Pool Valves [Reference 1]. The added inventory from the upper pools will extend the time before suppression pool cooling is required to avoid significant containment pressurization. Suppression pool cooling will be accomplished using a 480 VAC FLEX pump lined up to circulate suppression pool water through the shell side of an RHR heat exchanger using abandoned RHR Steam Condensing Mode Piping, and water from the external connections will supply the heat exchanger tube side. The proposed SX connection points are discussed in the Safety Functions Support Phase 2 section.
Either RHR heat exchanger can be used for the alternate suppression pool cooling strategy. The RHR heat exchanger chosen will depend on the SX division supplied from the external connection and the electrical division aligned to the FLEX generator. This strategy will provide an unlimited coping period for the containment [Reference 2].
Suppression pool water addition is required to maintain RCIC pump NPSH, makeup for reactor recirculation pump seal leakage into the drywell, and makeup for evaporative losses. The external water connection will supply the LPCS injection header or alternatively the RHR-C injection header.
Water can be added as needed to the suppression pool using 1E21-F012 LPCS Test Return To Suppression Pool Valve [Reference 3]
or 1E12-F021 RHR C Test Valve To Suppression Pool [Reference 4]. These two valves are located outside the primary containment and can be operated manually with the handwheel or electrically via the FLEX generator.
The pre-staged 480 VAC FLEX generator will also repower the Division 1, or alternatively the Division 2, hydrogen igniter distribution panel from Aux Building MCC 1A1, or alternatively Aux Building MCC 181, to allow igniter operation as prescribed by the EOPs [Reference 5].

Makeup with Portable Injection Source BWR 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 with portable injection source)and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time There are no Phase 1 actions required. Below is a description of the SFP and the decay heat loading for the pool. Effects from loss of cooling are also included which indicate no operator action is required for 38.65 hours7.523148e-4 days <br />0.0181 hours <br />1.074735e-4 weeks <br />2.47325e-5 months <br /> (time to boil off to the top of fuel racks) after loss of cooling using the Maximum Abnormal Heat Load (MAHL) from Reference 2.
The CPS spent fuel pool has a capacity of 3796 fuel storage cells. On an as-needed basis the cask storage pool may be utilized for storage of up to 2 racks with 264 cells capacity which increases the pool total storage capacity to 4060 fuel assemblies. CPS is licensed to store 3,796 fuel assemblies in the spent fuel pool and an additional 363 in the fuel cask storage pool, as needed.
Reference 1 discusses the peak fuel pool temperature for two decay heat load cases with the Fuel Pool Cooling and Cleanup System (FC) in service and also with a sudden loss of the FC system. The basis for the UFSAR discussion is contained in Reference 2.
Case 1 Maximum Normal Heat Load (MNHL) - This normal batch discharge case conservatively assumes more fuel cells are occupied than available. The MNHL case assumes that the spent fuel pool and cask storage pool has a combined total of 4159 cells to store spent fuel bundles and 4056 cells have already been filled with spent fuel bundles from 13 previous 18 month long operating cycles. The normal batch discharge of 312 bundles with an average exposure of 43.0 GWd/MT is initiated 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> after reactor shutdown from a 24 month long operating cycle. So the spent fuel storage is conservatively overfilled after this batch discharge. The MNHL is calculated to be 27.7 million Btu/hr.
Case 2 Maximum Abnormal Heat Load (MAHL) - This full-core discharge case is an extension from the MNHL case after 24 months of full power operation from the last outage. This case assumes that a full-core discharge of 624 fuel bundles with an average exposure of 43.0 GWd/MT is initiated 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> after shutdown. The previous batch of 312 fuel bundles discharged in the spent fuel storage pool mentioned in Case 1 has just decayed for 24 months. So the spent fuel storage is conservatively overfilled after this full-core discharge. The MAHL is calculated to be 40.0 million Btu/hr.
The analysis of Case 1 shows that the spent fuel pool and cask storage pool bulk temperature will peak at 125.8°F if the batch discharge of 312 bundles is initiated 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> after reactor shutdown with one train of FC in operation. The highest evaporation heat loss rate reaches 0.4 million Btu/hr. Additionally for Case 1, it is assumed that all pool cooling is lost when spent fuel pool temperature is at its peak. It would take 5.3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> for the pool temperature to reach boiling, and the peak boil-off rate at about 60 gpm, which is less than the Seismic Category I spent fuel pool emergency water makeup system capability of 100 gpm. Calculation 01FC43 shows that for Case 1 the time to reach the top of the fuel racks with no 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.

Clinton Power Station, Unit 1 Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan Safety Functions Support BWR 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.
Electrical Support Key portions of the Division 1, Division 2, and non-divisional 480 VAC distribution system will be able to be re-energized from a pre-staged primary FLEX generator or a portable alternate FLEX generator. Either generator independently will enable maintaining DC power for RCIC, SRV controls and vital instrumentation, and provide AC power for hydrogen igniters, SPMU valves and suppression pool cooling FLEX pump.
- The primary FLEX generator and switchgear will be permanently housed in the Unit 2 side of the Control and Diesel Generator buildings; therefore, deployment will not be impeded by a beyond design basis external event (BDBEE). The connecting cabling will be pre-routed from the vicinity of the primary FLEX switchgear to the vicinity of the Division 1480 VAC unit substations which will have connection points for an external source of power.
- The alternate (N+1) portable FLEX generator will able to be deployed to an external electrical connection point. A heavy duty truck capable of clearing debris from the travel path will be stored in the same location. The switchgear for the alternate generator will be housed in the Unit 2 side of the Diesel Generator Building. The connecting cabling will be pre-routed from the vicinity of the alternate FLEX switchgear to the vicinity of the Division 2 480 VAC unit substations and the swing battery charger. The unit substations will have connection points for an external source of power.
Once the event is identified as an ELAP/LUHS, operations personnel will line up and start the primary or alternate FLEX generator and perform a lineup that enables key 480 VAC components, including the Division 1 battery charger, to be re-energized by To+5 hrs.
Cooling/Makeup Water Support A portable diesel driven pump will be able to be deployed to the Ultimate Heat Sink (UHS) at the Circulating Water Screen House (699' elevation). The pump will take its suction from the UHS and discharge to the suction of a second portable diesel driven pump stored in the same storage structure and deployed at grade elevation (736' elevation) in the vicinity of external water connections. The second pump will discharge to one of two external water connections.
Provisions will be made for accessing the UHS should the downstream main dam fail during a seismic event.
In this event the surface of the lake could drop from approximately 690' elevation to 675' elevation.
The external water connections will be hard-piped to both the Division 1 and Division 2 Shutdown Service Water (SX) System. The Control Room Ventilation (VC) chillers were designed for a Unit 1 or Unit 2 SX supply, and the Unit 2 supply (currently blind-flanged) is the proposed connection point for cross-tying to Unit 1 SX. The Division 1 VC chiller will enable the supply to Division 1 SX, and the Division 2 VC chiller will enable the supply to Division 2 SX. The SX system will allow cooling water to be supplied to the associated RHR Heat Exchanger for suppression pool cooling and to supply makeup water to the Spent Fuel Pool.
The external connections will also supply makeup water to the RPV and suppression pool using the LPCS and RHR-C modifications described in Core Cooling Phase 2.
