ATTACHMENT 1 Response to Clarification Request License Amendment Request to Adopt NFPA 805 Performance-Based Standard for Fire Protection for Light Water Reactors Page 1 of 79 A request for clarification was received from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), by electronic mail on February 4, 2013. Subsequent conference calls with the NRC on February 5, 2013 and February 6, 2013 were conducted to confirm the clarification questions and required response timeframe.
The Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (ENO) response is provided below.
NRC Request
- 1. Several critical review elements from the last full-scope fire PRA peer review were either incomplete or received a significant number of findings, indicating the fire PRA was not able to be fully reviewed by the peer review team. As such, a focused-scope peer review is needed for the following elements to support the close out of the licensee proposed dispositions/resolutions: FSS (Fire Scenario Selection), FQ (Fire Quantification), HRA (Human Reliability Analysis) and UNC (Uncertainty Analysis). A list of the findings includes, but is not necessarily limited to, the following: FQ-C1-01, HRA-A2-01, HRA-A3-01, HRA-A4-01, HRA-B3-01, HRA-C1-01, HRA-D2-01, HRA-E1-01, PRM-B11-01, CS-A9-01, CS-C1-01, FSS-B1-01, FSS-E3-01, FSS-H5-01, CS-B1-01, PRM-B3-02, PRM-B9-01, PRM-B5-01, FQ-A4-01, ES-A3-01 and UNC-A2-01.
ENO Response
- 1. Attachment V of the Palisades license amendment request (LAR), presents the cumulative results of three independent Peer reviews of the Palisades fire probabilistic risk analysis (PRA) model and supporting documentation; two in-process Peer reviews and one Final Peer review. The resulting findings and observations (F&Os), as written by the Peer review team, were presented verbatim in Attachment V. The Staff was concerned that the F&O descriptions imply several PRA elements were incomplete or received a number of findings indicating that they could not be reviewed. This document provides supplemental information to demonstrate that all applicable PRA high level requirements (HLR) were reviewed in detail by the Peer review team.
The Palisades Fire PRA Peer Review was evaluated in three phases against the requirements of ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009, Part 4 [15] by essentially the same personnel.
- 1. The first in-process Peer review (Phase 1) was conducted during the week of January 18th, 2010.
- 2. The second in-process Peer review (Phase 2) which included two NRC observers was conducted during the week of August 27, 2010.
ATTACHMENT 1 Response to Clarification Request License Amendment Request to Adopt NFPA 805 Performance-Based Standard for Fire Protection for Light Water Reactors Page 2 of 79
- 3. The final phase (Final) was conducted during the week of March 21, 2011.
The final report as described in paragraph two in Attachment V of the LAR, SCIENTECH document 17825-1, was released in July 2011.
The Peer review team consisted of subject matter experts from SCIENTECH, Edan Engineering, SAIC, and ABS Consulting; two of the team members were authors of NUREG/CR-6850, EPRI/NRC-RES Fire PRA Methodology for Nuclear Power Facilities. The final report as described in paragraph two in Attachment V of the LAR, SCIENTECH document 17825-1 [16], describes the Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3 (Final) findings.
The two in-process reviews were provided to assist Palisades in assessing the technical adequacy and to refine plans, if necessary, to ensure the technical requirements of the final fire PRA would meet the ASME/ANS PRA standard.
Although the in process reviews were not conducted on a completed fire PRA, the reviews were conducted in strict accordance with the standard. Not Met or Not Reviewed was assigned if tasks needed to meet the standard requirements were not complete, depending on the degree of completion. In addition, the in process reviews identified actions necessary to achieve as a minimum Category II, where deemed appropriate.
A Final Peer review, of selected technical elements, was deemed necessary to meet the intent of the standard. The final report [16] provides the results of the Final Peer review and the in-process Peer reviews for those technical elements sufficiently reviewed during the in process reviews. Findings and observations from in-process Peer reviews were revisited by the Peer review team, but the finding descriptions were not eliminated or revised due to time constraints. For example, a number of supporting requirements with associated findings in the final report were categorized as meeting CC II (capability category) or greater. In other cases, every element as required by the standard is met, however, a singular refinement or enhancement is found to be needed and hence a finding would result.
There were no changes in applied methodology from the conduct of the Final Peer review on March 21, 2011 to the formal LAR submittal release on December 12, 2012.
Table 1, below illustrates the overall results presented in the summary table from the final report [16]. These results show that 94 supporting requirements meet the ASME standard CC II or greater, 58 supporting requirements (SRs) were not met, 3 met category I, and 14 were classified as not applicable. Four SRs had a final status of not reviewed after the Final peer review; these are presented in Table 3.
ATTACHMENT 1 Response to Clarification Request License Amendment Request to Adopt NFPA 805 Performance-Based Standard for Fire Protection for Light Water Reactors Page 3 of 79 Additional information is provided in Table 2, below to illustrate during which Peer review phase F&Os were identified and reviewed, as well as summary information from the final report to clarify the teams conclusions for each ASME standard element in which a finding was noted. This table re-presents the information provided in LAR Attachment V, Table V-1, with the addition of three new columns, annotated in bold and italics, as shown below. The SR, Topic, Status, and Finding or Suggestion columns were not changed from Attachment V, Table V-1. The disposition description for several SRs was revised to clarify the basis for status of these requirements.
SR Initial Peer Review Status SR Subsequent Peer Review Status Disposition Supplemental Information In the SR Initial Peer Review Status column, the status from when the supporting requirement (SR) was initially reviewed is provided.
In the SR Subsequent Peer Review Status column, the status from the Final Peer review for the SR is provided.
When a supporting requirement was categorized as not met this was the status at completion of the Final Peer review conducted during the week of March 21, 2011. If the supporting requirement was subsequently addressed prior to the LAR submittal in December 2012, it was categorized as closed in the status column (per the disposition discussion). In these cases the SR finding or suggestion has been fully addressed and the intent of Capability Category II has been met to properly support the LAR submittal.
In the Supplemental Information column, additional information is provided that supports the review for this supporting element was complete; especially if the F&O implies the work was not in a state that could be reviewed. This information was primarily obtained from the Summary of Review Results (Section 4) of the Final Peer review report [16].

- 3. Individual VFDRs and the associated disposition are documented for each fire area in LAR Attachment C. However, the dispositions of the VFDRs in Attachment C state no modifications are required and the fire area Risk Summary in Attachment C contains the following generic statement: There were no additional modifications identified that are specific to a given VFDR resolution in this fire area. However, LAR Attachment S, Table S-2, contains modifications that are described as resolving VFDRs. Clarify the discrepancy in Attachment S wherein certain modifications are identified as resolving VFDRs and Attachment C where no VFDRs are identified as being resolved by modifications.
ENO Response
- 3. Based on plant knowledge and risk analysis insights, it was decided to identify and evaluate modifications for overall plant fire risk reduction, prior to an evaluation of specific variances from deterministic requirements (VFDRs). These plant modifications were developed independently of whether or not specific VFDRs may or may not have been resolved. Modifications identified with this approach, in combination with modifications identified to resolve code-compliance issues, lowered overall plant fire risk and eliminated the need for any additional modifications to be postulated to address specific VFDRs during the fire risk evaluation process.
In the Palisades LAR, Attachment C was meant to communicate that no additional modifications were required - beyond the set of modifications identified in Attachment S - to address any residual risk from any given VFDR.
Attachment S indicated whether a modification explicitly modeled in the PRA resolved any VFDRs, but did not identify the specific VFDRs resolved or distinguish between partial and full resolution. Attachment S therefore designated modifications that partially resolve VFDRs as modifications required for compliance. Modifications that partially resolve VFDRs are considered required (necessary) but not alone sufficient for compliance.
The tables below provide the correlation of each modification to specific VFDRs resolved, either partially or fully. The first column, Item, contains a modification identifier corresponding to the modification identifier in Attachment S. The second column contains the set of VFDRs by fire area (if any) that are fully or partially resolved by the modification. The third column contains additional clarifying comments.
As discussed above, not all modifications were designed to resolve VFDRs:
some were designed for overall plant fire risk reduction (and intentionally, risk
ATTACHMENT 1 Response to Clarification Request License Amendment Request to Adopt NFPA 805 Performance-Based Standard for Fire Protection for Light Water Reactors Page 70 of 79 reduction with respect to other hazards), while others were purely code-compliance type modifications. Likewise, not all VFDRs are fully or partially resolved by a modification.
The residual risk of all VFDRs not resolved fully by modification has been evaluated as acceptable, either with our without credit for recovery actions, as indicated in the Palisades LAR, Attachments G and W.

- 4. LAR Attachment F describes the process for evaluating MSOs at Palisades, including use of the expert panel approach per FAQ 07-0038, Revision 3. In the Results of Step 1 section, generic industry sources of information used for both MSO reviews are cited but no plant-specific sources are cited. Describe how plant-specific insights were used to identify and evaluate MSOs at Palisades.
ENO Response
- 4. Experienced, multi-disciplined expert panel review teams at Palisades utilized the following types of plant-specific knowledge bases to postulate possible fire damage scenarios and brainstorm possible plant consequences involving multiple spurious operations:
first-hand operating experience, typical and off-normal equipment performance, original and as-modified plant design, actual and potential plant consequences resulting from upset conditions, thermal-hydraulic/neutronic licensing basis safety analysis, boundary conditions and assumptions, and integrated plant and operator response experience.
The expert panel included personnel with extensive Palisades-specific expertise in:
Operations, Fire Fighting (Fire Marshall),
Design Engineering, Electrical Engineering, System Engineering, Safe Shutdown Analysis, Circuit Analysis, Thermal-Hydraulic Analysis, Neutronics Analysis, and Probabilistic Risk Assessment The expert panel and/or multiple spurious operation (MSO) development teams included many of the same plant individuals that developed detailed logic models, containment analysis, and source term modeling supporting historic licensing basis activities, such as a 1982 SEP issue. The expert panel and/or MSO development teams also included individuals responsible for several areas
ATTACHMENT 1 Response to Clarification Request License Amendment Request to Adopt NFPA 805 Performance-Based Standard for Fire Protection for Light Water Reactors Page 79 of 79 of the FSAR Chapter 14 licensing analysis and basis, Appendix R, and Fire Protection safety reviews.
Plant specific data sources included:
piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs),
electrical single line and circuit drawings, training documents, internal and external events PRA models and insights, safe shutdown equipment list, safe shutdown logic diagrams, post-fire safe shutdown analysis (SSA),
plant operating procedures (normal, emergency, post-fire and abnormal operating procedures),
self-assessment results, operating experience, and walk-down notes and pictures.
These information sources provided insights that were used in conjunction with the expertise of the team and generic industry information sources to identify potential MSO scenarios of concern for Palisades. Plant-specific and generic industry information sources are explicitly referenced in Report #: 0247 0005.04, Multiple Spurious Operations (MSO) Report, which was authored by plant personnel.
The effort to identify and evaluate potential MSOs did not end with the conclusion of the expert panel. NFPA 805 project staff continually evolved and refined the MSO work during NFPA 805 model development and analysis. The expert panel was re-convened at the conclusion of the work to ensure concurrence with any new MSOs, insights and evaluations, as documented in Report #: 0247 0005.04.
This report was then used to identify component MSO failure combinations to be included in the safe shutdown analysis to develop VFDRs and ensure the nuclear safety capability assessment also identified these MSO conditions. The results of this work are outlined in PLP-RPT-12-00110, Multiple Spurious Operation (MSO) Identification and Evaluation.
