South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI191-V02 Revision I 1 Purpose and Scope The purpose of this assessment is to determine the change in the core damage frequency and large early release frequency due to the potential effects of GS1-191 phenomena at STP. The change in core damage frequency and large early release frequency is determined by comparing the results of two models: one with no source material capable in the containment capable of producing any GSI-191 effects and one representing the current plant conditions that includes both fibrous insulation that might be liberated following a LOCA and latent material found in the containment.
The results of the comparison become one input to an assessment of the significance of the GSI-1 91 issue at STP. The assessment of the significance uses the framework specified in Regulatory Guide 1.174.

South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI 191 -V02 Revision 1 2 Method 2.1 Quantification Considerations The PRA model developed to support the consideration of GSI-191 phenomena has been developed from the approved PRA model for STP, Revision 7.1 (Reference 1). This approved model builds on a legacy of previous PRA models used for risk informed applications and other regulatory requirements. Revision 7.1 is the current manifestation benefiting from investments in PRA at STP dating back 25 years.
The PRA model developed to address GSI-1 91 concerns does differ from Revision 7.1, however. These modifications are discussed fully below. Key differences include:
Revision 7.1 is designed to yield estimates of the core damage frequency and Level 2 plant damage state frequencies. Success criteria developed to support Revision 7.1 addressed whether at least the minimum equipment was available to satisfy key functions. For example, for long term heat removal in scenarios involving recirculation, the model asks whether the minimum contingent of fan coolers or RHR is available. To address the GSI-191 phenomena, it is necessary to determine specific combinations of plant equipment availability. The number of pumps taking suction from the sump influences the approach velocity of containment water at the screens. This velocity is a key parametric value in describing the interaction of debris laden water with the screens.
In addition, injection flow can influence in-vessel phenomena. The GSI-191 PRA model includes the determination of the number of pumps taking suction from the sump, rather than only determining whether at least the minimum number of pumps is available to provide adequate core injection and cooling. One modeling change was the addition of the determination of the status of the high head safety injection pumps to the large LOCA response model; the status of these pumps do not influence the likelihood of core damage directly, but they could influence the approach velocity of the sump water at the screens.
Revision 7.1, as is common in PWR PRAs, does require the operators to switch over to hot leg injection per procedures and training late in response to a large LOCA to prevent significant boron precipitation. Moreover, Revision 7.1 requires this switchover to occur without differentiating between hot leg and cold leg breaks, a conservative approach.
Revision 7.1 does not require this late switchover for medium LOCAs. This requirement was added to the medium LOCA response model for the GSI-191 PRA. In addition, the GSI-1 91 model only requires switchover to be accomplished for cold leg breaks.
" Both Revision 7.1 and the GSI-191 PRA use the information contained in NUREG 1829 as a basis for the characterization of the frequency of small, medium and large LOCAs.
The two models, however, use the information derived from NUREG 1829 differently.
Revision 7.1 uses information as developed by Idaho National Laboratory to characterize the prior distributions for small, medium and large LOCA frequencies. This is essentially a top-down use of the NUREG 1829 information. The GSI-191 PRA uses the framework developed in NUREG 1829 in a hybrid plant-specific characterization of LOCA frequencies. The primary LOCA frequency characterization is based on a Page 4 of 256
South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI 191 -V02 Revision 1 top-down interpretation of the results of NUREG 1829. The bottom-up portion of the analysis provided a consistent basis for the assignment of the relative failure likelihoods for specific welds and is necessary to support location-specific characterization of LOCAs. Additional discussion of the characterization of initiating event frequency is found in Reference 2 and Reference 3.
During a review of Revision 7.1, a modeling error resulting in the overestimation of the core damage frequency and the large early release frequency at STP was identified (CR 12-31272).
The specific error imposed a dependency on EAB HVAC that is not correct. The specific 480V load center that was modeled in error actually has no dependency on EAB HVAC. This conservative modeling error was carried over into the PRA models developed to address GS1-191 issues. Actually, the specific 480V load center in question has no role in the response to medium or large LOCAs. Since the plant response models of interest are limited to medium and large LOCAs, the error does not significantly impact the determination of changes in core damage frequency or large early release frequency due to GSI-191 phenomena.
The error discussed above will affect values of CDF and LERF. Correcting the error will result in a lower CDF and LERF values.
2.2 Computer Input/Output The PRA models used in the determination of the change in core damage frequency and large early release frequency were derived from STP PRA Revision 7.1. Specific model changes are documented in Appendix A and Appendix B of this assessment.

South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI 191 -V02 Revision 1 3 Assumptions Assumptions remain the same as those in the Revision 7.1 model. However, modeling changes necessary for this study are made and documented in the body of the analysis.
Key assumptions made in the PRA evaluations for GSI-1 91 are as follows:
- 1. Boron precipitation is assumed possible for medium LOCA, even though we believe this is not true due to the refill of the RCS within 1 or 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />, even for the largest size range of the MLOCA category.
- 2. Unanalyzed pump state combinations not explicitly analyzed by CASA GRANDE are assumed to result in sump blockage with a failure probability of 1.0.
- 3. The assumption that a mission of time 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> is conservative for GSI-1 91 evaluations is justified by arguing that this assumption conservatively increases the change in core damage frequency caused by GSI-191 phenomena; i.e., if pump failures after 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> do not already lead to core damage then the GSI-191 phenomena have a greater base success sequence frequency at risk of becoming core damage.
- 4. The CASA GRANDE models assume containment systems are successful (containment purge isolation, isolation of small containment penetrations, that at least two of six fan coolers operate, and that CCW is available to the RHR heat exchangers) for purposes of evaluating sump failure probabilities. This is assumed justified because the failure of such systems is either relatively low frequency or has minimal impact on the computed failure probabilities.
- 5. Steam line break sequences will not challenge the pressurizer PORVs to open even if the high pressure injection pumps are not secured due to the relatively low shutoff head of the HHSI pumps at STP. This assumption was also made in Version 7.1 of the STP PRA. This explains why steamline breaks resulting in the need for sump recirculation are particularly low in frequency at STP.
- 6. For medium and large break LOCAs In the base PRA model and in the base model with GSI-191 phenomena considered, the failure to switch over to hot leg injection as directed by procedures is assumed to result in core damage due to boron precipitation for cold leg breaks only. Hot leg breaks are assumed to not require hot leg switchover after 5.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br />. The potential for boron precipitation prior to 5.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> is evaluated by CASA GRANDE for both cold leg and hot leg breaks.
- 7. Uncertainties: The variable distributions for most phenomena of interest are sampled inside CASA GRANDE. The PRA model is then passed the probabilities of failure from GSI-191 phenomena. The only uncertainty instead captured by the uncertainty Page 6 of 256
South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI 191 -V02 Revision 1 distribution of the failure probabilities is that caused by the shape of the LOCA break exceedance frequency curves. The LOCA frequency uncertainties sampled in the PRA uncertainty analysis are assumed independent of the probabilities of failure from the uncertainty analysis of CASA GRANDE.
- 8. A key parameter of the CASA GRANDE is the status of the number of pumps running and taking suction from the sumps. It is assumed sufficient to evaluate the failure probabilities from CASA GRANDE in the PRA by considering only the pump state combination and the size of the break. Other variations on the sequences are assumed less important and are not distinguished.
- 9. We assume that the NUREG-1829 LOCA frequencies apply.
- 10. The split of cold leg versus hot leg breaks is assumed in the PRA to be the same as that modeled in CASA GRANDE for each break range when summed over all breaks modeled in CASA GRANDE. The highest cold leg fraction for the three break sizes is assumed in the PRA for all break ranges; i.e., they do not differ significantly between break ranges, but they are also not a 50-50 split. The cold leg fractions for LLOCA =.256 and for MLOCA are.381
- 11. We assumed credit for pump train symmetry when reducing the pump state combination to those analyzed; if only one spray pump train is available, it does not matter which specific single spray pump train it is.
- 12. The charging pumps at STP are assumed to too low of flow rate capacity to affect the GSI-191 analysis.
- 13. Pre-existing containment leaks are assumed small enough as to not affect the GSI-191 phenomena due to lower containment back pressure.
- 14. One out of three each from HHSI and LHSI pumps is assumed required for mitigation of medium LOCAs.
- 15. If just one LHSI pump train is aligned for hot leg recirculation and it is to the broken RCS loop, we assume that this is a failure of hot leg recirculation due to flow diversion.
- 16. Assumed that one HHSI pump operating in hot leg recirculation (as opposed to one higher capacity LHSI pump) is not sufficient to avoid boron precipitation affects for cold leg breaks.

South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-1 91 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI191-V02 Revision 1 4 Results A comparison of the mean values of the distributions used to characterize the initiating event frequencies for medium and large LOCAs in Revision 7.1 and the GSI-191 PRAs is shown in Table 4-1. Transient induced LOCAs are not included in these frequencies.

The GSI-191 PRA - Base Case represents a hypothetical STP plant with all fibrous insulation removed. The results in this table were generated using the sample mean outputs from a Monte Carlo simulation of each initiating event and split fraction in a single point estimate of the PRA sequence models; i.e., only the sample means were used in the quantification of sequence frequencies through the event trees. The individual sequence quantification cutoff used during quantification was 1.Ox.10 1 4 per year. For the GSI-191 PRA point estimate quantifications, the same approach was used. However, only the small LOCA, medium LOCA, and large LOCA sequence frequencies were reevaluated as the LOCA initiator frequencies have changed. The contributions from the other initiating events in the STP PRA were assumed to be the same as in STP PRA Revision 7.1 because the impact of GSI-191 phenomena on those initiators is negligible. As a result of the 1.Ox10-14 per year cutoff applied, the aggregated amount truncated for medium and large LOCA initiators was 6.7x. 10-9 per year.

Change in core damage frequency: 1.09x10-8 per year.

These CDF and LERF changes are very small. To better understand the robustness of this conclusion, an uncertainty analysis was performed. Since only the medium and large LOCA initiating events potentially are affected by GSI-191 phenomena, only these initiating events were included in the Monte Carlo uncertainty analysis; i.e., and not all the other initiating events modeled in the STP PRA. Of interest are the uncertainty distributions for the differences in CDF and LERF contributions from these two initiating events. A single initiating event batch was constructed that considers medium and large LOCAs for both the core damage and large early release end states (i.e., with an added containment event tree) and considering separately GSI-1 91 phenomena. The list of initiating events consider in the single batch are listed below in Table 4-3.
By including these eight initiating events in the same batch and applying the sampled data variables each trial to all eight initiating events, proper correlation of the sampled data is preserved. The trial initiating event results are then summed by end state. Also, the results for each trial are saved so that differences between the total end state frequencies for each trial can also be computed, again preserving the correlation between the end states. All split fractions used in the medium and large LOCA event trees are recalculated each trial. The sequence frequency cutoff used in the Monte Carlo simulation was increased to lx10,12 per year to speed up the calculation time.

The uncertainty distribution for the difference in core damage Page 9 of 256
South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI191-V02 Revision I frequency attributed to GSI-1 91 phenomena has a mean value of 1.Oxl 0-8 per year. This is consistent with the mean point estimate difference of 1.09x1 08 per year, reported above. The uncertainty analysis allows us to conclude that we are 95% confident that the difference is less than 4.6x1 08 per year. The uncertainty distribution for the difference in large early release frequency attributed to GSI-191 phenomena has a mean value of 1.4x1 0-12 per year. This difference is smaller than the mean point estimate difference of 8.6x10-12 per year, reported above. The uncertainty analysis result is likely affected by the assumed sequence cutoff of 1.Ox10i12 per year. However, the maximum sample output for the LERF difference is only 1.Ox10-l1 per year and this is unlikely to be affected significantly by the assumed quantification cutoff. This provides assurance that the mean difference in the LERF is also very small.

1.14xl0 1.39x0" Table 4-6 displays the GSI-191, Fussell-Vesely contributors to the core damage frequency from medium and large LOCAs. All other GSI-191 related split fractions have zero contributions.
In-core flow blockage split fractions (i.e., Top Event FLBK) all have zero split fraction values and hence no importance to core damage frequency. Split fractions BORML and BORLL consider the potential for boron precipitation caused core flow blockage from cold leg breaks, given failure of hot leg switchover during long term sump recirculation. Their split fraction values are governed by the cold leg fractions and not by the probability of plugging prior to the required Page 10 of 256
South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI191-V02 Revision 1 time of hot leg recirculation switchover. The assumption that these sequences result in core damage due to long term boron precipitation is likely conservative for medium LOCAs because the RCS is likely to refill eventually, thereby ending further boron precipitation.
The importance of Split Fraction BLL1S for boron precipitation caused flow blockage indicates the contribution for large LOCAs when hot leg switchover is successful and for the most likely pump state combination; i.e., Pumps State 1. The equivalent split fraction for medium LOCAs has zero occurrence probability and therefore does not appear. Split Fractions BLL9S and BLL22S represent boron precipitation caused flow blockage for lower frequency pump combination state conditions; i.e., States 9 and 22, respectively.
Split Fractions SULL1, SULL22, SULL9, SULL26, and SULL43 represent the sump and strainer plugging failures following a large LOCA for the five different Pump Combination States 1, 9, 22, 26, and 43, respectively. The rather low conditional probabilities of sump or strainer failures for each pump combination state accounts for the rather low Fussell-Vesely importance measures.
Split Fraction SUMPZ represents the potential for sump and strainer failure mechanisms for all pump combination states that are not explicitly analyzed or bounded. Conservatively, a split fraction value of 1.0 was used for all 48 of these pump combination states. Clearly, a more detailed evaluation of these pump combination states in CASA GRANDE would reduce the evaluated impact of the GSI-191 phenomena. Since core damage is conservatively assumed for all such unevaluated pump combination states in top event SUMP, there are no added impacts for top events FLBK or BORON for these same pump combination states Split Fractions HLEGA, HLEGB, and HLEGAB also appear on the high ranking Fussell-Vesely importance contributors. These split fractions represent failures to successfully switch from cold leg to hot leg recirculation for different classes of sequences. The GSI-191 phenomena are not directly captured by these importance measures. Rather, the occurrence of boron caused core flow blockage is increased in probability, for cold leg breaks if hot leg switchover fails. This is the reason for including them in the table.
Table 4-7 displays some of the key sequences contributing to core damage frequency from medium and large LOCAs when the GSI-191 phenomena are included. There are many sequences that contribute so only some illustrative ones are listed. They are presented ranked by frequency with the sequence ranking shown to the left.
The first five sequences are the highest frequency sequences involving medium LOCAs. The first three of these are undergoing preventative maintenance on one train of ECCS at the time of the break, which occurs on a different RCS loop from that undergoing maintenance. One train of ECCS fails and a second one is diverted out the broken loop when aligned for hot leg recirculation. The failure of the two trains of ECCS during recirculation means that hot leg recirculation switchover fails. The third train of ECCS is left aligned to cold leg recirculation in accordance with procedures. Core damage occurs because of excessive boron precipitation in that fraction of the medium LOCA break frequency which is in the cold legs. There are no sequences of this type with the break in loop C because of a modeling assumption. The operators are assumed to preferentially align trains A and B for hot leg recirculation keeping Train C aligned for cold leg recirculation. Therefore, flow from train C is never lost out the break for hot leg recirculation.
Page 11 of 256
South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI 191 -V02 Revision I Sequences ranked 4 and 5 are similar to the above except that there is initially no planned maintenance at the time of the break. Instead, an independent failure occurs in a LHSI pump train that is not aligned to the broken loop.
Rather than include additional variations on similar sequences, the table then skips to the next medium LOCA sequences in which the key split fractions from the importance ranking in Table 4-6 appear.
The sequence ranked 13th, involves a medium LOCA with the break in RCS Loop A. There is no planned maintenance but with one train lost, a second LHSI pump train fails to be switched over; i.e., Split Fraction HLEGB fails. Again there is excessive boron precipitation which results in core damage for the fraction of the break frequency involving cold leg breaks.
The sequence ranked 14th, involves a medium LOCA with the break in RCS Loop B. There is no planned maintenance but with one train lost, a second LHSI pump train fails to be switched over; i.e., split fraction HLEGA fails. Again there is excessive boron precipitation which results in core damage for the fraction of the break frequency involving cold leg breaks.
Sequences ranked 46, 47, and 48 are the highest ranked large LOCA sequences that contribute to core damage. They are exactly analogous to the three highest medium LOCAs except that they are initiated by large LOCAs.
The sequence ranked 2 3 1st, involves a medium LOCA with the break in RCS Loop D. No EECS loop is aligned to RCS Loop D. There is no planned maintenance at the time of the break. In this sequence there is a failure to switchover to hot leg recirculation from either Train A or B; i.e., Split Fraction HLEGAB fails). The C train of LHSI is left aligned for cold leg recirculation.
Again there is excessive boron precipitation which results in core damage for the fraction of the break frequency involving cold leg breaks.
The sequences ranked 2 7 0 th and 2 7 1st are also the fourth and fifth highest ranked large LOCA sequence resulting in core damage. The break occurs in RCS Loop B in both of these sequences. There is no planned maintenance at the time of the break, but different sets of pumps are initially running at the start of the accident. Train A of LHSI pump fails. This fails two trains of LHSI from being aligned for hot leg recirculation. Train C is left aligned for cold leg recirculation. Again, without hot leg recirculation switchover, there is eventual excessive boron precipitation which results in core damage for the fraction of the break frequency involving cold leg breaks. Sequences ranked 46, 47, 48, 270, and 271 are the five highest ranked sequences to core damage from large LOCAs.
The sequence ranked 4 2 8 h, involves a large LOCA with the break in RCS Loop D. Therefore, ECCS flow is not aligned to the broken loop. There is also no planned maintenance at the time of the break. All three ECCS train are available. However, in this sequence, excessive boron precipitation occurs prior to the time of hot leg recirculation; i.e., split fraction BLL1S fails. Split Fraction BLL1S corresponds to Pump Combination State 1 in which all three trains of HHSI, LHSI, and containment spray are available to be aligned to the sump for recirculation. The "S" in split fraction name BLL1 S indicates that this is for the sequence that hot leg recirculation would have been successful if core flow blockage did not occur earlier in the sequence. Again there is excessive boron precipitation which results in core damage for the fraction of the break frequency involving cold leg breaks. This fraction is accounted for in the value of Split Page 12 of 256
South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI191-V02 Revision 1 Fraction BELL1S. This is the highest ranked sequence involving core damage for the pump state combinations analyzed by CASA GRANDE.
The sequence ranked 7 9 7th, involves a medium LOCA with the break in RCS Loop D.
Therefore, ECCS flow is not aligned to the broken loop. There is planned maintenance on ECCS Train A at the time of the break. Independently, the cold leg injection check valve on ECCS Train B fails to open. This is assumed to take out the HHSI and LHSI pumps on Train A.
The pump state combination is, therefore, one HHSI, one LHSI, and two trains of containment spray available. This combination is not analyzed as one of the CASA GRANDE runs and so is conservatively assigned a sump plugging value of 1.0; i.e., Split Fraction SUMPZ=1.0 fails. This is the highest ranked sequence involving core damage for the unanalyzed pump state combinations.
The sequence ranked 8 3 9th, involves a large LOCA with the break in RCS loop D. Therefore, ECCS flow is not aligned to the broken loop. There is no planned maintenance at the time of the break. The pump state combination is, therefore, three HHSI, three LHSI, and three trains of containment spray available. This combination is analyzed as Case 1 of the CASA GRANDE runs; i.e., Split Fraction SULL1=2.45E-04 fails. This is the highest ranked sequence involving sump strainer failure leading to core damage for any pump state combination.
The sequence ranked 2 7 5 4th, involves a large LOCA with the break in RCS Loop D. Therefore, ECCS flow is not aligned to the broken loop. There is planned maintenance on ECCS Train B at the time of the break. The pump state combination is, therefore, two HHSI, two LHSI, and two trains of containment spray available. This combination is analyzed as Case 22 of the CASA GRANDE runs; i.e., Split Fraction SULL22=1.32E-3 fails. This is the second highest ranked sequence involving sump strainer failure leading to core damage.
The sequence ranked 8,2 3 6th, involves a large LOCA with the break in RCS loop D. Therefore, ECCS flow is not aligned to the broken loop. There is no planned maintenance at the time of the break. Train A of LHSI fails independently. The pump state combination is, therefore, three HHSI, two LHSI and three trains of containment spray available. Hot leg recirculation succeeds using ECCS Train B. This pump state combination is analyzed as Case 9 of the CASA GRANDE runs; i.e., Split Fraction BLL9S=1.82E-3 fails. There is excessive boron precipitation which results in core damage for the fraction of the break frequency involving cold leg breaks.
The cold leg fraction is included in the value of Split Fraction BLL9S. This is the second highest ranked sequence involving boron precipitation leading to core damage of the five pump state combinations explicitly analyzed by CASA GRANDE.
Of the three other split fractions ranked in Table 4-6 (i.e., BLL22S, SULL26, and SULL43), the highest ranking sequences involving failure of any one of them had frequencies less than 1 E-1 2 per year. None are in the top 15,000 sequences ranked.

South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI191-V02 Revision 1 6 Description of Sequences Introduced by GSI-191 Phenomena The GSI-191 phenomena apply for accident sequences that, following RCS injection of the RWST contents, require sump recirculation for successful mitigation. The specific LOCA classes modeled in the STP PRA and requiring sump recirculation are described in Section 11.
Early on in the assessment of GSI-191 phenomena it was determined that the only sequence classes requiring sump recirculation that would be affected are medium LOCAs (2"-6" diameter breaks) and large LOCAs (>6" diameter breaks).
Changes to the STP PRA models to accommodate the assessment of GSI-191 phenomena were therefore restricted to the sequence models for these two initiating events. The STP PRA already includes the modeling of injection and sump recirculation functions in response to medium and large LOCAs. However, it was necessary to revise the plant sequence model so that the status of all pumps taking suction from the sump during recirculation would be known so that the plant conditions under which the GSI-191 phenomena are defined. Further discussion of pump state combinations is provided in Section 9. Similarly, the status of containment systems were also changed to be evaluated prior to the sequence models questioning sump recirculation events. This allows the sump pool temperature and containment pressures to be known at the start of sump recirculation and following. A further discussion of containment system states is provided in Section 10.
The specific GSI-191 failure mechanisms of interest are those described in Reference 2, namely:
- 1. Strainer AP>NPSH,,,,.*,,
- 2. Strainer AP >
,,cu for Structural Failure
- 3. Strainer Void Fraction, F,od Ž 0.02
- 4. Core Fiber Load > Cold Leg Break Fiber Limit for Boron Precipitation, Prior to Switchover to Hot Leg Recirculation
- 5. Core Fiber Load >_ Hot Leg Break Fiber Limit for Boron Precipitation, Prior to Switchover to Hot Leg Recirculation
- 6. Core Fiber Load > Cold Leg Break Fiber Limit for Flow Blockage
- 7. Core Fiber Load > Hot Leg Break Fiber Limit for Flow Blockage Failure Mechanisms 1, 2, and 3 are grouped into a failure probability represented in the PRA via Top Event SUMP. Failure Mechanisms 4 and 5 are grouped into a failure probability represented in the STP PRA by Top Event BORON. Finally, Failure Mechanisms 6 and 7 are grouped into a failure probability represented in the STP PRA by Top Event FLBK.

South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI191-V02 Revision 1 The plant response models following sump recirculation swap-over were then modified to question new event tree Top Events SUMP, FLBK, and BORON. A detailed description of the modified plant response models for medium and large LOCAs is provided in Appendix A.
The only scenarios identified as arising from GSI-191 phenomena that result in core damage are initiated by break sizes assigned to large LOCAs. The increase in core damage frequency due to GSI-191 phenomena is small, 1.09x10-8 per year. The added sequences predominately involve an intact, isolated containment, with containment heat removal so that the increase in large early release frequency is very small, less than 1x10-11 per year.
As indicated in Table 4-3, above, the dominate GSI-1 91 issue leading to core damage is associated with the increased likelihood of exceeding the cold leg fiber limit for boron precipitation. Loss of NPSH at the sump strainer is a small contribution by comparison.

South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI 191 -V02 Revision 1 7 Comparison to Regulatory Guide 1.174 Metrics Regulatory Guide 1.174 provides numerical guidelines to characterize the core damage frequency, the frequency of large early release and the changes in core damage frequency and large early release. These measures are used as input to the risk-informed process judging the acceptability of the plant change. Regulatory Guide 1.174 defines changes judged to be 'very small' to be characterized by the following:
The baseline core damage frequency does not 'significantly exceed' 10-4 per year.
The change in core damage frequency is less than 10-6 per year.
The baseline large early release frequency does not 'significantly exceed' 10-5 per year.
The change in large early release frequency is less than 107 per year.
Changes that meet all these requirements are said to be in 'Region I1l'. The inclusion of GSI-191 phenomena into the STP PRA yields results that are characterized as being in Region Ill, thereby implying that these phenomena result in 'very small changes' in these risk metrics.
Regulatory Guide 1.174 also requires consideration of risk from 'all modes and all initiators'.
The STP risk models consider all initiators; e.g., a comprehensive set of internal event initiators, fires, seismic and internal flooding. Only medium and large LOCAs were found to potentially be affected by GSI-191 phenomena, so the effort described here is focused on these initiators.
Additional discussion of other initiators involving recirculation is found in Section 11, below.
Only internal initiators are considered further; the contribution of medium and large LOCAs from external events, such as seismic activity, is negligibly small.
The risk models employed consider explicitly only Modes 1 and 2. Although not explicitly modeled, the assessment is bounding for Modes 3 and 4, when the primary system is still pressurized. Modes 5, 6, and 'Defueled' do not contribute to GSI-191 phenomena scenarios as the primary system is depressurized. Procedures instruct the operators to disable containment spray shortly after entering Mode 5 on cool down. On startup, sprays are enabled upon entering Mode 4.

South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI 191 -V02 Revision 1 8 On the Representation of Scenarios Beyond 24 Hours The STP PRA adopts the common convention in PRA that specifies a 24-hour mission time for active equipment. The rationale for this accepted convention is the assumption that it appropriately balances the likelihood of active system failures after 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> with the additional resources that might become available and the longer response times that would characterize most 'late' failures.
Some of the GSI-191related phenomena could manifest over a time frame that extends beyond 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. The impacts of such phenomena are fully represented in the GSI-191PRA. All failures predicted by CASA GRANDE are incorporated into the PRA.
The interface between CASA GRANDE and the PRA-the specification of the conditional likelihood of failure due to any of the GSI-191 phenomena-is characterized by the status of the pump trains taking suction from the sumps. The pump train status is determined by their availability over the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
Any core damage events that are caused by GSI-1 91 phenomena are in addition to core damage events from other causes, such as failure of all vessel injection or failure of decay heat removal. From this point of view, the addition of GSI-191 phenomena to the PRA model can be viewed as potentially resulting in otherwise 'success' sequences in the absence of the GSI-191 phenomena going to core damage when such phenomena is considered. Therefore, any overestimation of success sequence frequencies that result from omitting active system failures after 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> would result in an overestimate of GSI-191 phenomena related core damage frequency. We believe, based on the rationale behind the conventional 24-hour mission time for active equipment, that this effect is small.
CASA GRANDE analyses indicate that the conditional likelihood of failure due to GSI-191 phenomena can be greater for cases involving less than three pump trains available as compared to the case of all trains available. These analyses were performed assuming that any unavailable train became unavailable at the beginning of the scenario. Although pump failures can occur after 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, the loading of the debris on the sump strainers is well established by 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, when the interface conditions between CASA GRANDE and the PRA are defined.
The debris loading conditions on the strainers would therefore not be affected by active system failures after 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. Active system failures occurring after 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> would most likely affect a single pump train. Such failure would actually reduce the strainer approach velocities thereby reducing the potential for sump and strainer failures. Active system failures affecting multiple trains would likely affect all pump trains thereby causing core damage, in the absence of GSI-191 affects.
For GSI-191 phenomena that potentially manifest downstream of the strainers, a key consideration of whether core damage occurs is the timing of switchover to hot leg injection.
For cold leg breaks, the PRA currently requires switchover to be successful and this action would occur within 7.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> (Reference 4). Active system failures following successful switchover are included in the PRA via the 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> mission time assumption. Any such failure is not a GSI-191 issue. For hot leg breaks, successful switchover to hot leg injection is not required. Any active system failures occurring after hot leg switchover or later are also not Page 25 of 256
South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI 191 -V02 Revision 1 downstream of the strainers GSI-191 issues. Therefore, any train failures after 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> would not significantly impact the conditional likelihood of core damage due to GSI-1 91 phenomena.

South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI 191 -V02 Revision 1 9 On the Frequency of Success States Involving Different Numbers of Pumps Operating The STP PRA model developed for the GSI-191 project (GSI-191 PRA) identifies the number of pumps operating during both the injection and sump recirculation phases within each sequence.
The CASA GRANDE models develop the failure probabilities for each of the GSI-191 phenomena for a specified list of sequence conditions. A key attribute of these sequence conditions is the number of ECCS pumps specified as operating in both the injection and sump recirculation phases. For medium and large LOCAs where the containment spray pumps are actuated, conceptually there are at least 64 different combinations of such pump states; i.e., there may be 0, 1, 2, or 3 pumps operating for each of the HHSI pumps, the LHSI pumps and the containment spray pumps; i.e., 4x4x4=64 combinations. Conceivably, we could have identified 29 = 512 pump states if each pump was substantially different and the flows to the three sumps were asymmetrical. However, at STPEGS, the flows to each sump are symmetrical and the pump types are all judged essentially the same; i.e., the pump flow characteristics of the three LHSI pumps are the same. For these reasons, the simpler approach adopting 64 states was taken.
Considering the operator actions directed by procedures, the situation is actually more complicated. Early in the accident sequences, the operators are directed to turn off one train of containment spray if initially all three are running to conserve RWST water inventory for the remaining pumps. Later in the accident sequence, after containment pressure drops below 6.5 psig and the Technical Support Center (TSC) determines that containment iodine levels are sufficiently low (i.e., estimated at 6.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> after the break for the design basis large LOCA event), all containment spray pumps are shut off. The operators are very likely to successfully perform these actions but there is also some probability that they do not. Further, the timing of these operator actions may affect the assessed evaluation of the GSI-191 phenomena issues.
Fortunately not all of these EECS pump combinations needed be considered. The study team recognizes that some cases can be bounded by others; e.g., the result for two HHSI pumps operating is likely bracketed by one or three operating; i.e., the failure probability for the two HHSI pumps running case likely lies between the failure probabilities for one pump operating and three pumps operating cases. Another basis for choosing the pump combinations to evaluate is to assess their frequency of occurrence. The GSI-1 91 PRA model provides a tool to do this. For this exercise we are interested only in those sequences which, in the absence of the GSI-191 phenomena, are mapped to success rather than to core damage. By restricting the sequences to success conditions, those pump combinations which lead to core damage even without considering the GSI-191 phenomena are eliminated. The STP PRA models for this exercise involve only MLOCA and LLOCA events because only in those events is sump recirculation at issue and the containment spray pumps are expected to be actuated by a high containment pressure condition.
Table 9-1 presents the results from three sensitivity cases evaluated using the GSI-191 PRA model with no impact from the GSI-191 phenomena. The sequence quantification was run with a cutoff value of 1.O0xl0- 14 per year. In each sensitivity case the success end state was divided into 64 different sub-bins according to the possible combinations of the nine different ECCS pumps of interest. The status of the charging pumps, on the other hand, is not tracked in the Page 27 of 256
South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSII91-V02 Revision 1 STP PRA and not believed to provide sufficient flow to be of interest in this evaluation. The status of each pump is dependent on the availability of the pump itself, its RWST and containment sump suction valves, and associated supporting systems. It is not dependent on the break loop location since whether the LHSI or HHSI pump injects to the RCS is not relevant to the flow rates from the three sumps. The sump flow rate is the key parameter in evaluating the GSI-191 phenomena.
The first sensitivity evaluates the sequences when the operators do not act early (Top Event OSF=F) or late (Top Event OFFS=F) to secure the containment spray pumps. In this sensitivity, the most likely pump state (H3L3S3SUCC) involves all three HHSI, LHSI, and spray pumps operating. The next most likely state is when one ECCS train is disabled (such as for planned maintenance) and two trains of HHSI, LHSI and spray pumps are available. The next most likely pump states involve just single pump train failures of HHSI, LHSI, or spray pump trains. All other successful pump state combinations are less likely than the total core damage frequency from the MLOCA and LLOCA initiating events; i.e., CDF. CDF from medium and large LOCAs only is not a pump combination state but is included in Table 9-1 for ease of comparison. There are many different ECCS pump successful combinations with some frequency above 4x10 1 3 though less than the CDF frequency. All other pump combinations not shown in the first three columns were assessed as having zero frequency. Not all such pump combinations occur because some pumps must operate to prevent core damage and we are restricting the pump state combination frequencies to success sequences.
The second sensitivity run is similar to the first except that the operators are assumed to have secured one train of spray early in the injection phase if all three spray trains are initially running. This reduces the number of pump state combinations with non-zero frequency. It also changes the most likely pump combinations since now there are no pump combination states with all three trains of spray operating. The most likely pump combination state involves three HHSI pumps, three LHSI pumps, and two spray pumps operating; i.e., the same as in the first sensitivity except that one train of spray is secured. The next most likely is when one ECCS train is disabled (such as for planned maintenance) and two trains of HHSI, LHSI, and spray pumps are available. In this state only two trains of spray are running initially so that they are both left running. The next most likely pump states involve just single pump train failures of either HHSI or LHSI pump trains with the third spray train being secured. With a frequency just less than the core damage frequency, is one additional pump state involving failure of one train of ECCS with an added spray pump train failure. All other pump state combinations in this sensitivity are individually less likely than the total core damage frequency from MLOCA and LLOCA; i.e., CDF. There are some pump states combinations with individual frequencies above 8x10 1 3 but less than the CDF frequency. The number of such pump state combinations is lower than in the first sensitivity shown in the first two columns of Table 9-1 because there are none which have all three spray pumps operating. All other pump state combinations not shown in the second sensitivity were assessed as having zero frequency.
The third sensitivity run is similar to the first except that the operators are assumed to secure all three trains of spray approximately 6.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> after the break in accordance with procedures.
This assumption greatly reduces the number of pump state combinations with non-zero frequency. It also changes the most likely pump combinations since now there are no pump combination states with any trains of spray operating. The most likely pump combination state involves three HHSI pumps, three LHSI pumps, and zero spray pumps operating; i.e., the same as in the first sensitivity run except that all trains of spray are secured. The next most likely is Page 28 of 256
South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI 191 -V02 Revision I when one ECCS train is disabled (such as for planned maintenance) and two trains of HHSI and LHSI and all spray pumps are secured. The next most likely pump states involve just single pump train failures of either HHSI or LHSI with again all spray pump trains secured. All other successful pump state combinations are less likely than the total core damage frequency from MLOCA and LLOCA; i.e., CDF in the table. There are many different ECCS pump successful combinations with some frequency above 3x10-13 though less than the MELT frequency. All other pump combinations not shown in the third sensitivity were assessed as having zero frequency for this sensitivity.
Another way to look at this set of results from the three sensitivity runs is to consider them as time sequenced. The first sensitivity run defines the frequency of pump states during early injection before the operators secure one of three operating spray trains. The second sensitivity defines the frequency of pump states later during injection after the operators secure one of three operating spray trains. This condition would persist through sump recirculation switchover up until 6.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> after the break. Finally the third sensitivity run defines the frequency of pump states assuming the operators act to secure all spray trains after 6.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br />. One deviation from this time sequencing of pump states is that when assessing whether the pump trains are operating, both the RWST suction and sump recirculation valves are required for pump operability in all three sensitivity runs. If the first sensitivity truly represented only the conditions during early injection, then failures of the sump valves would not be counted. This consideration has a minor impact on the results, however.
Results from the first sensitivity case only in Table 9-1 were used in the mapping of CASA GRANDE result cases to pump state combinations. Pump State Combinations 1, 9, 22, 26, and 43 are evaluated explicitly in CASA GRANDE. We then conservatively bound other combinations of specific pumps failing by choosing one of the five CASA GRANDE evaluated cases. Different pump combination states may be identified as bounding for strainer failures as opposed to in-vessel failures caused by GSI-191 phenomena. Typically a bounding case is one that has greater strainer flow and debris to a given strainer than the pump state being evaluated. For pump combination states that could not be easily bounded and for very low frequency pump combination states (i.e., 48 pump state combinations in all), the GSI-191 phenomena were assumed to cause core damage in all associated sump recirculation sequences.

South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI 191 -V02 Revision 1 10 On the Slams of Containment Systems The GSI-1 91 PRA model incorporates the probabilities of sump blocking, fuel blockage, and boron precipitation as a function of the number and types of High Head Safety Injection (HHSI),
Low Head Safety Injection (LHSI), and containment spray pumps operating. The number of pumps operating both in the injection phase when debris in the containment is transported to the sumps and in the sump recirculation phase when the number of pumps operating determines the approach velocity at the sump strainers are of interest. The GSI-191 PRA model focuses on MLOCA and LLOCA events because only in those events is sump recirculation at issue and the containment spray pumps are expected to be actuated by a high containment pressure condition. For small LOCAs, the containment sprays are not actuated.
The status of three other containment system top events are questioned in the early response MLOCA event tree; i.e., purge line isolation (Top Event CP), smaller containment isolation lines (Top Event CI), and the response of the reactor containment fan coolers (Top Event CF).
Conceivably, these three top event states could impact the GSI-1 91 issues by changing the containment back pressure, or altering the sump pool temperatures during sump recirculation.
Table 10-1 provides the results of medium and large LOCA success sequence frequency contributions divided among sequence groups representing different states of these three top events plus a fourth top event appearing in the LTMLOCA event tree; i.e., RX which stands for component cooling to the RHR heat exchangers used to cool the sump. Only MLOCA or LLOCA sequences not already assigned to core damage in the absence of the GSI-191 phenomena are considered in these totals because only those sequences are candidates to be reassigned to core damage when the GSI-191 phenomena are considered. The values in Table 10-1 were generated using the event trees in model GSI-191 PRA with mean values collected in a Monte Carlo master frequency file (G1 91 MC). The sequence quantification cutoff selected was lx10 1 4 per year.
Table 10-1 shows that the by far the most likely outcome of the containment function top events is that all are successful; i.e., that the purge line (CP=S) and smaller containment penetrations (CI=S) all isolate, that at least 2 of the 6 containment fan coolers operate to remove decay heat from the containment (CF=S) and that component cooling water is available to the RHR heat exchangers (RX=S). Therefore, this state of the containment systems is generally assumed in CASA GRANDE when developing the GSI-191 issue failure probabilities.
The second ranked containment system function success state involves failure of smaller containment isolation lines (CI=F) and success of both the purge lines to isolate (CP=S) and of the fan coolers to function (CF=S). By far the largest contributor to small containment isolation failure is that of a pre-existing containment leak; i.e., 98.6%per the STP PRA evaluation of Top Event Cl. Such leaks are too small to affect the containment response in any measureable way.
For other containment isolation failures (i.e., 1.4% of the total failure probability) yet still less than equivalent 3-inch diameter lines that fail to isolate (i.e., excluding pre-existing leaks), the frequency is then only 1.6x10-8 year; (i.e.,1.1 x10 6 x.014=1.6 x10-8 per year). This frequency is already just a fraction of the success state frequency from medium and large LOCA, and of the core damage frequency from these events. Also, such small size containment isolation failures are not expected to significantly impact the containment response.
Page 34 of 256
South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI 191 -V02 Revision 1 The next containment function state (SRXF) considers the failure of component cooling to any of the RHR heat exchangers through which a LHSI pump is operating in the sump recirculation mode and injecting into the RCS. Since these sequences still successfully avoid core damage, for this containment state at least one LHSI pump must be operating in the recirculation mode injecting through an intact loop into the RCS, and two or more containment fan coolers are being relied on to provide containment and sump water cooling. Since at least two containment fan coolers are successful, not all three trains of component cooling water are failed. The frequency of such sequences is only 1.55x1 07 per year which is less than 0.1% of the total success bin frequency. Consequently, the impact of such sequences relying on the containment fan coolers for heat removal is small. Further, since the containment fan coolers also depend on component cooling water, the most likely success sequences of this type involve loss of component cooling water to one train of RHR (whose LHSI pump train still successfully injects sump water to the RCS), maintenance on a second ECCS train (i.e., maintenance assumed to also fail that same train of CCW), and failure of the third LHSI train to inject to the RCS because of losing flow out the break. RCS injection by the LHSI train which loses RHR cooling still protects the core so long as the sump temperatures are limited by the fan coolers. The point is that the third LHSI train whose flow is diverted through the break is still cooling the sump water since its train has not lost CCW to the RHR heat exchanger. While such sequences are conservatively counted in the above total for SRXF, the actual frequency in which only the fan coolers are providing cooling is even lower.
The next most likely containment state is when the containment is completely isolated but at least two fan coolers do not operate to provide containment heat removal; i.e. bin SCPSCISCF.
Recall that since sequences in this bin are successful, decay heat removal via the RHR heat exchangers operating in sump recirculation must be successful. Since the frequency of this containment system state is just less than 1x10-8 per year (i.e., a fraction of the core damage frequency) and the presence of one to three trains of RHR decay heat removal is assured, the impact of success sequences involving loss of all fan coolers on the sump pool temperatures is judged to be of low significance.
Page 35 of 256
South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI191-V02 Revision I The final two ranked containment system states involve failure of both small containment isolation along with failure of the fan coolers (i.e., CI=F and CF=F) or failure of the large purge line to successfully isolate (CP=F). These two states are each of such low frequency that they cannot significantly impact the assessment of GSI-191 issues.

South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI191-V02 Revision 1 11 On the Frequency of Success States Involving Different Initiators and Numbers of LHSI Pumps Operating The STP PRA considers a large number of internal initiating events many of which may result in successful sump recirculation as a means of successfully avoiding core damage. In support of the GSI-191 project, a summary of these sequences is provided in Table 11-1. Frequencies of successful sump recirculation are provided for the following categories:
" RCP Seal LOCAs Isolable Smalls LOCAs (pressurizer power operated relief valve [PORV] path)
" Small LOCAs (not isolable)
Medium LOCAs Feed and Bleed Sequences
" Large LOCAs Steamline Breaks inside Containment Leading to Need for Sump Recirculation Unisolated Letdown Line ATWS (successful recirculation following ATWS)
Many different initiating events can contribute to specific categories above; e.g., feed and bleed sequences resulting in successful sump recirculation can occur from any of a number of initiating events. The sequence group feature of RISKMANTM was used to define the sequence logic that would identify those sequences that are members of one of the above categories, involve sump recirculation, and end in successful sump recirculation. As an example, for the category feed and bleed; the sequence logic must satisfy OB=S*N2=S where Top Event OB=S represents successful feed and bleed cooling, Top Event N2=S, means the sequence requires recirculation from the sump, and the sequence must eventually be mapped to the SUCCESS end state instead of to a core damage state. Similar logic is used for all the above groups.
Note that some of the above sequence group frequencies may overlap. For example, feed and bleed sequences or RCP seal LOCAs may be initiated by sequences that begin with steam line breaks inside containment. Steam line breaks inside containment may lead to pressurizer PORV challenges caused by a safety injection signal and resulting high head safety injection pumps actuating in response to the RCS overcooling. At other PWRs. the pressurizer PORVs may be challenged because the mass addition causes RCS pressure relief prior to termination of the safety injection. However, at STP this is not the case because the HHSI pumps have a shutoff head of approximately 1,500 psi. It is still possible that the mass addition would eventually lead to RCS overpressure as the RCS gradually heats up, but this occurs much more Page 37 of 256
South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI191-V02 Revision 1 slowly, providing ample time for operator intervention at STP. The STP PRA assumes that such steam line breaks would not cause a pressurizer PORV challenge. Instead the sump recirculation sequences initiated by steam line breaks inside containment at STP occur due to subsequent RCP seal LOCAs or, if auxiliary feedwater fails, then successful feed and bleed cooling.
The sequence group categories listed above and in Table 11-1 are sorted in decreasing order of successful sump recirculation frequency. These are the groups of sequences that can potentially transfer to core damage when the GSI-191 phenomena are considered; e.g., sump plugging, air ingress, fuel flow blockage, etc. These results were mostly obtained from the Revision 7.1 STP PRA model using point estimate split fraction values and a quantification cutoff of 1.0x1 014 per year. The medium (MLOCA) and large LOCA (LLOCA) sequence group frequencies were evaluated from a revised model developed to support the GSI-191 project.
The MLOCA and LLOCA initiators were given special consideration since they are the focus of the GSI-191 project. The STP PRA model was restructured to allow the status of all nine ECCS pumps to be tracked in each sequence. Further, the RCS break sizes for these two initiators are large enough that even though a LHSI pump may be operating in the sump recirculation mode, the pump flow may not be injected into the RCS. Rather, it may be diverted out the break in the broken loop to containment, never entering the reactor vessel. To evaluate the potential for GSI-191 phenomena, the total pump flow from the sump is most important consideration, whether or not the pump flow is injected into the RCS. Therefore, the frequencies provided in Table 11-1 are for trains of LHSI operating even if flow from one of the pumps is diverted out the break. The MLOCA and LLOCA results in Table 11-1 were obtained from the restructured STP PRA model and quantified with split fractions derived from Monte Carlo means and a sequence quantification cutoff of 1.0x1 0-14 per reactor year.
Table 11-1 also breaks down the contribution to these category frequencies as to whether there is one, two, or three trains of LHSI pumps operating in the sump recirculation mode. Logic was appended to the total category frequency logic in order to collect the results by number of LHSI pump trains operating. For example, the logic for three trains of LHSI pumps operating that must be satisfied to map the sequence to three trains operating would be LA=S*LB=S*LC=S where the Top Events LA, LB, and LC represent the three trains of LHSI pumps in the STP PRA. Generally more than 95% of the total sequence group frequency involves successful operation of all three LHSI pumps and the frequency of just one LHSI pump operating is a tiny
(-0.001) fraction of the total sequence group frequency.

South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSII91-V02 Revision 1 12 On the Consideration of Different Hazard Groups A nuclear power plant can experience a broad range of initiating events. Simply speaking, an initiating involves any potential occurrence that could disrupt plant operations to a degree that a response by the plant and/or the operating staff is required to avoid an undesired outcome. For the undesired outcomes of core damage or large early release and with the plant originally producing power, an initiating event would cause disruption of power production. Successful mitigation would require managing power production (for example, tripping the reactor),
pressure control (for example, operation of safety valves), inventory control (for example, use of safety injection) and heat removal (for example, use of auxiliary feedwater with atmospheric dump).
Initiating events, or initiators, can be characterized as originating from two hazard groups:
internal hazards and external hazards.
This section describes how each hazard group in Reference 6 has been considered in the evaluation of GSI-191 phenomena at STP.
Internal hazards include system failures or phenomena that originate within the plant. Internal initiators can further be characterized as internal events, internal plant fires and internal plant flooding.
External hazards include those phenomena that originate outside of the plant. Examples include external flooding, external fires, seismic events, extreme metrological events, landslide, tsunami, and aircraft crash. The consideration of external hazards begins with the characterization of the hazard potential and frequency and proceeds, if the hazard potential and frequency are found to warrant further analysis, to the direct plant impact due to realization of the hazard. That damage is then combined with the plant response model resulting in an integrated understanding of the impact of the external event.
The PRA can be thought of as an organized set of scenarios. Each scenario begins with an initiating event includes a representation of the response of the plant and operators to that initiating event. The identification of relevant PRA elements therefore begins with a consideration of the initiators included in the PRA.
Selection criteria are established to characterize the PRA scenarios. The scenarios of interest in an evaluation of GSI-191 must meet four criteria:
- 1. The scenario response model for the initiator includes taking credit for recirculation to provide core cooling.
- 2. The scenario involves the potential to liberate a significant amount of insulation inside primary containment.
- 3. The scenario includes a mechanism that transports the liberated insulation debris to the sump(s).
Page 41 of 256
South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI191-V02 Revision 1
- 4. In the absence of GSI-1 91 phenomena, the scenario would have been evaluated as successfully terminated.
A plant-specific evaluation is necessary in the evaluation of the PRA against these criteria. This evaluation is done for both internal and external hazards.
12.1 Internal Hazards (Part 2 of Reference 6)
Initiating events belonging to the internal hazard group include internal events, internal flooding, and internal fires.
12.1.1 Internal Events The internal events that are explicitly considered in the STP PRA are:
- 2. Very Small LOCA
- 3. Non-Isolable Small LOCA
- 4. Isolable Small LOCA
- 5. Open SRV (one)
- 6. Open SRV (two or more)
- 7. Medium LOCA
- 8. Large LOCA
- 9. Steam Line Break inside Containment
- 10. Steam Line Break outside Containment
- 11. Other LOCAs
- 12. Other Transient Initiators Including Support System Failure Initiators The last item listed is not strictly speaking an initiator. What this item represents is the collection of transient initiators, such as loss of feedwater or loss of offsite power, which includes feed-and-bleed as a potential success path, or results in a transient induced LOCA that requires recirculation from the containment sump. The frequency of these initiators leading to scenarios involving successful sump recirculation are presented in Section 11.
Initiators 1 through 5 involve modest openings in the primary system. These events do not meet the Necessary Criteria 2 and 3. Groups 1 through 4 result in only a modest amount of Page 42 of 256
South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI 191 -V02 Revision I insulating material being liberated (with the amount associated with Group 1 small). Small and very small LOCAs, by definition, do not result in spray initiation, so they lack a mechanism to transport material to the sump. Initiators 5 and 6 involve the opening of pressurizer SRVs. One SRV opening is equivalent to a small LOCA, so the above argument holds for this group also.
In other words, Necessary Conditions 2 and 3 are not satisfied for Initiator 5. In addition, engineering analysis indicates that the location of the SRVs is such that a relatively small amount of target insulation is found near the SRVs. This would mean that Necessary Condition 2 is not met for either Initiator 5 or 6. In summary, Initiators 1 through 6 do not result in conditions necessary to result in GSI-191 phenomena.
Initiators 7 and 8 (medium and large LOCAs) involve plant responses that potentially meet all three necessary conditions. These initiators are therefore retained for further evaluation.
Initiators 9 through 12 include consideration of sump recirculation for those sequences involving feed-and-bleed, RCP seal LOCAs do to loss of seal cooling, or a stuck open PORV whose flow is directed to the PRT which eventually overpressurizes. In the same way that Group 1, RCP seal LOCA initiators were screened, so are the transient induced seal LOCA from Initiators 9 through 12. For feed-and-bleed and stuck open PORV scenarios, engineering assessments indicate that little insulation material is found in the vicinity of the pressurizer relief tank (PRT) rupture disk, so that little material would be made available to potentially be transported to the containment sumps (Necessary Condition 2). In addition, the containment sprays will not actuate for Initiators 10, 11, and 12 so that no transport mechanism will be available to transport any liberated material to the sumps (Necessary Condition 3). Initiators 9 through 11 are screened from further evaluation at STP as they do not meet Necessary Conditions 2 and 3.
Initiator Groups 9 through 11 do not result in conditions necessary to result in GSI-191 phenomena. In addition, at STP, the high head injection pump shutoff head is below the pressure necessary to inadvertently open the PORV, reducing the likelihood of inducing a stuck open PORV.
Initiator 11 considers other LOCAs inside containment. At STP, the RHR system is wholly within containment, so that under the very unlikely conditions of an interfacing system pressurization, the RHR piping could become overpressurized. The consequences of this unlikely scenario are bounded by the scenarios explicitly considered.
So, from the point of view of potentially meeting the three requirements for enabling GSI-191 phenomena, only medium and large LOCAs are retained from the internal events group of initiators for further evaluation.
12.1.2 Internal Plant Fires (Part 4 of Reference 6)
No internal fires were identified that lead directly to a loss of primary coolant. Fire induced transients leading to opening of the pressurizer PORV or reactor vessel head vents, or any of the transient induced LOCAs defined in Initiator Group 12 - other transient initiators, including support system failure initiators, are, in principle, possible. The same arguments discussed above for internal events also apply to these. These scenarios are screened from further consideration because they do not meet Necessary Conditions 2 and 3. Further consideration of internal fires with respect to GSI-1 91 phenomena is therefore not warranted.
Page 43 of 256
South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSIl 191 -V02 Revision 1 12.1.3 Internal Plant Floods (Part 3 of Reference 6)
Internal flooding represents a hazard that, as far as GSI-191 phenomena are concerned, is identical to Initiator Group 12 - other transients or support system failures. Similar to the arguments for internal plant fires, internal flooding scenarios are screened from further consideration because they do not meet Necessary Conditions 2 and 3.
12.2 External Hazards (Parts 5, 7, 8, and 9 of Reference 6)
The STP PRA evaluated a spectrum of external hazards and screened them for inclusion in the quantitative analysis. Most were screened from further analysis. Others, such as high winds, cannot result directly in primary system leaks and so they do not meet Necessary Conditions 2 and 3.
For seismic events, a common, perhaps conservative, assumption is that for even modest accelerations, one or more instrument tubes may fail resulting in the equivalent of a very small LOCA. This family of seismic scenarios is screened based on failure to meet Necessary Conditions 2 and 3. The robust nature of the primary system, all Class I, makes other seismically induced LOCAs requiring sump recirculation (i.e., equivalent to medium or large LOCAs) very unlikely. Such LOCAs are of very small frequency. In addition, while small, medium or large LOCAs are possible at sufficiently high accelerations, the common PRA assumption is that redundant components are fully correlated. Under this assumption, for example, a medium LOCA on one primary loop would be assumed to be accompanied by medium LOCA on all other loops. The result is that seismically induced medium and large LOCAs are modeled as being excessive LOCAs-which have no success sequences by definition. Since the goal of the risk-informed GSI-191 effort is to evaluate the frequency of scenarios, otherwise identified as successfully terminated, that fail due to GSI-191 phenomena, then Necessary Criteria 4 is not met, as these scenarios would be mapped to failure.
For modest accelerations, the bounding assumption of a small or very small LOCA does not trigger GSI-1 91 phenomena as they would not meet Necessary Criteria 2 or 3. Scenarios involving larger accelerations are of very small frequency.
12.3 Conclusion Medium and large LOCAs from internal events only are retained for further consideration with respect to core damage resulting from GSI-191 phenomena.

South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSII91-V02 Revision I Appendix A: Detailed Description of Medium and Large LOCA Sequence Models A.1 Introduction The information regarding description of events and the Event Sequence Diagram were taken from the South Texas Project Electric Generating Station Level 2 Probabilistic Safety Assessment and Individual Plant Examination Revision 7.1. This information was then modified to describe the sequence logic for both the GSI-191 Base model (i.e., with GSI-191 assumed to lead to zero failures) and the GSI-191 model itself; i.e., with the GSI-191 phenomena considered. Both the base model and GSI-191 model contain the restructured event sequence models needed for the GSI-191 project. The Base model assumes the GSI-191 failure mechanisms to be set to zero probability of occurrence. The GSI-191 model is similar to the Base model, except that the added failure mechanisms specific to GSI-191 (e.g., sump plugging) have been incorporated specifically for the STP plant. The same RISKMAN model, GSI-191 PRA, is used to represent both the Base model and GSI-191 model. Model GSI-191 PRA is the same as Revision 7.1 of the STP model for all but the medium LOCA and large LOCA plant response models. The initiating event frequencies for the small LOCA, medium LOCA, and large LOCA initiating event frequencies have also been changed specifically for the GSI-191 project.
The event trees presented have been largely revised to identify the status of the High Head Safety Injection (HHSI), Low Head Safety Injection (LHSI), and containment spray pumps at the time of injection and sump recirculation for sequences that may be susceptible to GSI-191.
Further, the LOGIC of the medium LOCA event trees has been generalized to make the set also applicable to large LOCAs.
A.2 Medium LOCA Event Model Overview The medium LOCA initiating event applies to those reactor coolant system (RCS) pressure boundary breaks with blowdown rates equivalent to pipe breaks between approximately 2 and 6 inches in diameter. In support of the GSI-191 project, this model has been enhanced to enable it to also model large LOCAs; i.e., greater than 6 inches in diameter up to the double-ended guillotine breaks in the RCS loops. Selected inserts are provided to explain where model differences occur for large LOCAs.
The reactor coolant flowing through the break is sufficient to remove core decay heat without any additional cooling required via the steam generators. Therefore, the most important system function to be included in modeling plant response is an adequate supply of makeup flow to replace the coolant inventory lost through the break. In this range of ruptures, it is possible for two cases to occur. The break could be at the smaller end of the break spectrum where RCS pressure remains relatively high; e.g., a stuck-open pressurizer safety valve at a 2.3-inch diameter. In this case, RCS pressure could remain above the LHSI pump design pressure during the initial blowdown phase. Thus, successful accident mitigation requires operation of the HHSI pumps to account for those pipe breaks in the smaller medium LOCA range. For the larger size medium LOCA breaks, it is assumed that the event sequence would closely resemble the large break LOCA cases where rapid RCS depressurization occurs. In these Page 52 of 256
South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI191-V02 Revision I events, operation of the LHSI pumps is required to account for a situation in which HHSI makeup flow is limited by the HHSI pump run-out characteristics.
The HHSI system success criteria for medium LOCAs are bounded in the plant response model by requiring one of the three pump trains to deliver injection flow to an intact RCS loop. If the HHSI pumps cannot maintain adequate coolant inventory with the RCS at high pressure, operator actions may rapidly depressurize the RCS by overcooling the primary system with the steam generators. The rapid depressurization may enable RCS pressure to be reduced below the shutoff head of the LHSI pumps, which could then still provide sufficient RCS makeup.
However, for all medium LOCA sizes within the defined range, we conservatively require success of at least one HHSI pump for high pressure injection and omit credit for this rapid depressurization alternative. One of the three LHSI pump trains can provide adequate makeup flow for the full range of medium LOCA break sizes, if RCS pressure is reduced below approximately 250 psig. The centrifugal charging pumps alone are not modeled, since, by medium LOCA definition, they do not supply adequate RCS makeup; however, it is acknowledged that charging pumps could possibly be used in conjunction with HHSI and LHSI to control RCS inventory and pressure.
Once the medium LOCA initiating event occurs, pressurizer pressure quickly drops to the low pressurizer pressure setpoint, and a reactor trip signal would be generated at 1,870 psig. A safety injection (SI) signal will be generated when pressurizer pressure reaches 1,869 psig or when containment pressure reaches 3.0 psig, actuating all safety-related equipment. With pressurizer pressure and level dropping and containment pressure increasing, operator response for diagnosing the LOCA situation would occur early in the transient.
Also at this time, the SI actuation would isolate the main feedwater system as well as initiate auxiliary feedwater to provide steam generator makeup. Main steam isolation will occur as a result of a high-2 containment pressure condition at 3.0 psig. The reactor trip and the void formation from the blowdown phase would function to keep the reactor in a subcritical state, in addition to the borated injection water. Although the accumulators will inject when RCS pressure decreases below approximately 600 psig, the volume of water injected is not sufficient for long-term coolant inventory control. The effect of accumulator injection is to provide an intermediate makeup supply for limiting peak cladding temperatures during the transition from HHSI injection to LHSI injection. If the accumulators fail to inject, some transient fuel cladding damage may occur, but no significant fuel damage is expected before RCS pressure falls below 300 psig. For the purposes of medium LOCA quantification, failure of all accumulators is assumed to lead to core damage, regardless of the success of HHSI and LHSI functions. For large LOCAs, two of the three accumulators are required to inject into an intact loop, again regardless of the success of HHSI and LHSI functions.
Once RCS makeup is established, operator actions may be required to reduce RCS pressure below the LHSI design pressure for continued RCS makeup. If the break is small enough, RCS pressure remains above the LHSI shutoff head. Larger medium LOCAs and all large LOCA breaks are likely to cause rapid RCS depressurization so that LHSI can quickly inject.
Therefore, for large LOCAs, HHSI injection is not required for successful inventory control.
Successful sump recirculation requires the containment sump valves to open and the Residual Heat Removal (RHR) heat exchanger to be available for establishing long-term cooling. To account for the possibility that the RHR heat exchangers are not available to provide cooling to Page 53 of 256
South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI191-V02 Revision 1 at least one operating LHSI pump train, the Reactor Containment Fan Coolers (RCFC) are modeled to determine long-term cooling success as an alternative cooling mechanism to the RHR heat exchangers. Credit for the RCFCs to provide heat removal is assumed to still require at least one LHSI pump operating in the sump recirculation mode; i.e., operation of just one HHSI pump with no LHSI is assumed insufficient Normal steam generator cooling is not necessary in the medium LOCA event, since, by definition, core decay heat is removed by the medium LOCA break. Steam generator cooling is not modeled for medium LOCAs or large LOCAs.
The medium LOCA early tree also evaluates the status of containment isolation functions (Top Events CP for the purge lines and Cl for smaller, normally open containment isolation lines) and the reactor containment fan coolers (Top Event CF), for containment heat removal.
A.3 Medium LOCA Event Sequence Diagram The preceding paragraphs briefly describe the plant systems and operator responses after a medium LOCA, as generalized for a large LOCA event. Each event sequence ends in stable long-term recirculation cooling at low pressure or a core damage state. The following section briefly describes each event modeled in the generalized medium LOCA ESD, shown in Figure A.3-1. The event numbers correspond to the numbered event blocks in the original IPE Figure as modified to accommodate the changes for this study. The success criteria for each event block are provided in Table A.3.-1. This section has been modified for the GSI-191 project, both in substance and to generalize the ESD to apply to both medium and large LOCAs.
The events are described largely as they appear from left to right along the most likely success path on Page 1, and then continuing on Page 2. The remaining events on failure sequences are described at the end of A.3. The corresponding top events in the MLOCA event tree appear above the associated ESD events. ESD events without such top events are not modeled in the event trees. The generalized medium LOCA event tree has also been greatly modified from that in Revision 7.1 as discussed later on in Section A.4.
Event I - Reactor Trip. The first event block models the response of the reactor protection system to automatically shut down the reactor. Success from this block indicates that a sufficient number of control rods have been automatically inserted to bring the reactor to a subcritical state. Major pieces of equipment included in this event block are the analog trip signal transmitters, the reactor protection logic channels, the reactor trip breakers, the control rod drive mechanisms, and the control rods. For the medium and large LOCA initiating events, the major inputs to the reactor protection logic are generated from low pressurizer pressure and high containment pressure. Failure of this event block indicates that reactor trip has not occurred. Subsequent events along this failure path would be contained in the ESD for initiating events during which the reactor trip fails; i.e., Anticipated Transients without SCRAM (ATWS).
Event 2 - ESFAS. This event questions the engineered safety features actuation system (ESFAS) to diagnose the medium or large LOCA as a SI actuation condition and to generate the necessary control signals to ESF equipment. Major pieces of equipment included in this event block are the analog signal transmitters, the solid state protection system (SSPS), the ESFAS logic channels, and the master and slave relay circuits that Page 54 of 256
South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI 191 -V02 Revision 1 transmit the output actuation signals. The pressurizer low pressure signal is the primary input for a MLOCA or LLOCA initiating event. A containment high pressure signal is also expected after a short time delay. Failure of ESFAS requires the operators to manually initiate the SI signal (Event 3) and/or start injection and cooling water systems, and to manually isolate important containment penetrations. The ESF-generated safety injection signal causes the following isolations:
Turbine Trip. Implies that all signals and equipment (i.e., all turbine throttle valves and turbine governor valves close) necessary to shut off steam flow to the main turbine are successful.
Letdown Line Isolation. Implies that at least one of two letdown isolation valves closes upon receipt of the ESFAS signal.
Main Feedwater (MFW) Isolation. Valves close on medium LOCA as a result of reactor trip and Low Tavg setpoint being reached from the overall effects of feedwater flow characteristics and steam generator shrink.
Containment Isolation Phase A. All components and equipment assigned for Phase A isolation successfully isolate.
Containment Ventilation Isolation. All ventilation equipment assigned to isolate is successful.
Event 27. This event represents the automatic isolation of all normally open "large" containment penetrations (2_ 3-inch diameter) before or at the time of vessel failure. The containment penetrations of particular concern are the large containment supplementary purge lines. Success of this event implies that there is no immediate venting of fission products, and that the RCFCs are capable of removing heat and radioactivity from the containment atmosphere through the condensation process, while also preserving water inventory in the containment. Failure of this event implies there is an immediate venting of the fission products in the containment atmosphere. With at least one of the containment purge lines unisolated, the containment remains atmospheric limiting some of the margin for NPSH.
Event 28. This event models the automatic isolation of the containment penetrations that connect the containment atmosphere to the outside atmosphere, that are open before or at the time of reactor vessel failure, and have a flow area less than an equivalent 3-inch diameter hole. The penetrations explicitly considered in the analysis of this event include:
Containment Radiation Monitor Sampling Lines Pressurizer Relief Tank (PRT) Vent Line PRT Post-Accident Sampling Reactor Coolant Drain Tank (RCDT) Vent Line Page 55 of 256
South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI191-V02 Revision 1 RCDT to Liquid Waste Penetration Space (LWPS) Holdup Tank Flow Path Containment Normal Sump Drain Line Seal Return and Letdown Line Event 3 - Manual Safety Injection or Manual Start. This event block is associated with block 2 whenever ESFAS fails to generate a safety injection signal. Operator action to manually actuate safety injection or to manually start equipment required to mitigate the effects of a medium or large LOCA are modeled in the ESD for ESFAS failures.
Success of this block indicates that all necessary equipment starts and that isolation signals are available. The failure path from this block is mapped to early core damage, because neither HHSI nor LHSI flow is available to make up for the inventory lost through the medium or large LOCA.
Event 4 - MSIV Closure. This event tracks the signals to automatically close the main steam isolation valves (MSIV) after the reactor trip signals are generated from a potential high-high containment pressure condition. Success of this event block indicates that all four MSIVs close automatically in response to these signals. This isolates the steam generators from the main turbine and the steam dumps, and it decouples operation of these components from affecting subsequent plant cooldown. Failure of this event block indicates that at least two MSIVs remain open. The effects from this failure are bounded in the ESD by assigning the failure path to a condition where full-rated steam flow can be removed from each steam generator. If the MSIVs and either the main turbine fails to trip or the steam dumps stick open, an additional signal for automatic MSIV closure will be generated from low compensated steam line pressure. To keep the medium and large LOCA ESD logic structure as simple as possible, this additional signal has been conservatively omitted in the excessive secondary heat removal scenarios. Beginning in Revision 7.1 and included in the GSI-191 project model, the MSIV closure model has been expanded to include the possibility that one MSIV may fail to close and that the feedwater isolation and control bypass valves may both fail to close on that same line; i.e., leading to an excessive cooldown without requiring the failure to close of a second MSIV. The logic involving the MSIVs and feedwater isolation valves are now modeled in a separate Top Event SGI instead of as part of Top Event TT. Successful turbine trip (Block 5) and steam dump closure (Block 6) will also limit the cooldown from this added failure combination.
Event 5 - Turbine Trip. This block questions the response of the turbine trip mechanisms to provide the control signals to close all turbine throttle valves and turbine governor valves. Successful departure from this event block indicates that the turbine throttle valves and turbine governor valves or combinations of these valves have closed to isolate all four high pressure turbine steam inlet lines. Major pieces of equipment in this event block are the turbine trip logic circuitry, the turbine throttle valve and governor valve hydraulic pressure dump valves, and the high pressure turbine throttle and governor valves. The primary turbine trip signal is initiated from the open reactor trip breakers; however, several redundant turbine and generator trip signals are produced as Page 56 of 256
South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI191-V02 Revision 1 reactor power decreases. Failure of this block indicates that steam continues to flow through the main turbine. The impact from this failure is bounded in the medium and large LOCA ESD by a rapid cooldown condition in which full steam demand remains immediately after the reactor has tripped. In the event that turbine trip also fails following a large LOCA, the ESD transfers to Event Block 29. For medium LOCAs, the ESD instead first considers the potential for pressurized thermal shock conditions.
Event 6 - Steam Dump Closed. The medium or large LOCA break flow is sufficient to remove core decay heat. However, if RCS average temperature is above the no-load setpoint when the turbine trips, the steam dumps will receive an automatic signal to open. The steam dump control system will automatically reclose the valves when Tavg falls below the no-load setpoint. Success of Event Block 6 indicates that the steam dump valves successfully reclose (or remain closed) to limit RCS cooldown from steam flow to the main condenser. The success path models a condition in which RCS cooldown and depressurization are controlled by the medium or large LOCA break flow into the containment. Failure of this event block occurs if at least one steam dump valve sticks fully open. Since the MSIVs have failed to close in the scenarios where Event Block 6 is asked, the effects from steam dump failures are bounded in the medium or large LOCA ESD by assigning the failure path to a rapid overcooling condition. Although this condition is less severe than that caused by failure to trip the main turbine, the ESD logic structure is simplified by combining both overcooling scenarios.
Event 29 - Injection Common to LHSI and Accumulator. This event models questions whether the cold leg injection check valves S138A, S138B, and S138C are open. These valves are common to the LHSI, HHSI, and the RCS accumulators' injection flow paths. Success of this block indicates that the three valves are open and able to provide a pathway for their respective trains. In the event tree, a separate top event is used to represent each of the three injection paths. The failure path of this block is mapped directly to early core damage, because only insufficient amounts of water can be injected into the core. If containment spray also fails, the resulting plant damage state is designated as a "dry" condition because no water is injected into the containment sump from the HHSI, LHSI, or containment spray.
Event 30 - Accumulator Injection. The accumulators provide the initial injection into the RCS. This block contains the three accumulators in the ECCS. The accumulators each discharge into one of the RCS cold legs in loop A, B, or C. Success of this block, for a large LOCA, requires at least two of three accumulators inject into an intact RCS loop. Failure of this top event indicates two or more accumulators fail to inject into the RCS. For a medium LOCA, success requires just one of the three accumulators inject into an intact RCS loop. The failure path of this block is mapped directly to early core damage, because only insufficient amounts of water can be injected into the core. If containment spray also fails, the resulting plant damage state is designated as a "dry" condition because no water is injected into the containment sump from the HHSI, LHSI, or containment spray.
Event 8 - RWST/ECCS Common. The RWST provides the borated water supply for makeup to the RCS. The HHSI, LHSI, and containment spray pumps take suction from the RWST. This event block also includes the common suction piping and valves for Page 57 of 256
South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI 191 -V02 Revision 1 each train of the HHSI, LHSI, and containment spray pumps. Success of the block indicates that the RWST and the common equipment are available. The failure path from this block is mapped directly to early core damage, because no water can be injected into the RCS to make up for the inventory lost through the large LOCA break.
The resulting plant damage state is designated as a "dry" condition because no water is injected into the containment sump from the HHSI, LHSI, or containment spray.
Event 17 - Containment Spray. This event block questions the availability of flow from the containment spray pumps. It is used in the medium or large LOCA ESD to determine whether RWST water is delivered to the containment sump for post-melt debris bed cooling. For the GSI-1 91 project model, the event representing the availability of containment spray injection has been moved up to the early response trees. The status of all three train spray trains is tracked by a single, multi-state top event, CS. For core damage scenarios, if RWST water is injected from the HHSI, LHSI, or CS pumps, the core debris will be flooded, and the resulting plant damage state is designated as a "wet" condition. If no RWST water is injected before or after core damage occurs, only the normal RCS inventory and water from the accumulators are available in the containment. These plant damage states are designated as "dry" conditions. Success of this block indicates that at least one CS train delivers flow to the containment spray headers. This flow may not be adequate for core debris cooling after vessel breach. Subsequent containment pressure control is evaluated for each core damage scenario in the late response event tree and in the Level 2, CET tree.
Event 7 - Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) Pressure above LHSI Shutoff Pressure.
The medium LOCA initiating event category includes a range of RCS breaks with flow rates equivalent to those from ruptures of piping approximately 2 inches to 6 inches in diameter. At the smaller end of this range, the RCS blowdown is extended long enough to require HHSI injection flow to maintain coolant level above the core before pressure decreases below the LHSI pumps shutoff head. At the larger end of the medium LOCA range, RCS pressure decreases very rapidly, and only LHSI injection flow is required to maintain coolant inventory. This event block is used as a flag in the medium or large LOCA ESD to note the differences in plant response for this range of break sizes. The success path from this block occurs if the medium LOCA is relatively small and there is no overcooling scenario. Subsequent events in this path require operation of the HHSI pumps for makeup during the transition blowdown and later operation of the LHSI pumps when pressure falls below their shutoff head. The failure path from this event block occurs if the medium LOCA is relatively large so that HHSI is not required. This event is always failed for large LOCAs. This path bypasses HHSI operation and requires rapid injection from the LHSI pumps. As a bounding treatment of medium LOCA events for this study, the event trees conservatively include only the success path requirements from this block; i.e., HHSI is required for all ranges of the medium LOCA breaks. For the entire range of large LOCAs, the HHSI pumps are not required.
Event 31 - Operators Secure third train of containment spray. If the RCS is not intact as indicated by containment conditions then the operators are directed to procedure OPOP05-EO-EO10, LOSS OF REACTOR OR SECONDARY COOLANT, The procedure then directs the operators that if all three spray pumps are injecting, to secure one train of containment to conserve RWST water. This event does not directly enter Page 58 of 256
South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI 191-V02 Revision I the sequence logic for success criteria. It is included for subsequent sensitivity analysis should it be necessary to consider. Currently, the CASA GRANDE models assume credit for this action whenever three trains of spray are initially operating.
The following descriptions refer to events on Page 2 of the ESD, at Entry Point A.
Event 9 - HHS1. If the initiating event is near the small end of the medium LOCA range, injection flow from the HHSI pumps is required to maintain coolant level above the core until RCS pressure decreases sufficiently to allow LHSI pump operation. For large LOCAs, HHSI flow is assumed unnecessary to prevent core damage. Nevertheless this event is asked to determine the extent of sump flow at the time of sump recirculation.
For medium LOCAs, the ESD applies a simplified bounding model for HHSI response.
Although the break may be small enough to require HHSI operation, the bounding flow rate is unlikely to exceed the makeup capacity from a single HHSI pump. Therefore, success of this event block requires just one train of the three HHSI pumps to supply injection during the blowdown phase of these events. The failure path from Event Block 9 in the ESD includes alternative operator responses to rapidly depressurize the RCS for injection from the LHSI pumps. However, we shall see later that these alternatives paths to avoid the need for HHSI are not modeled in the medium or large LOCA event trees.
Event 10 - LHSI. All event scenarios modeled in the medium or large LOCA ESD eventually requires injection from the LHSI pumps. Three different types of scenarios reduce RCS pressure below the LHSI shutoff head (300 psig) and are as follows:
The initiating event may be for large LOCAs or at the large end of the medium LOCA size range. The RCS will rapidly depressurize, and LHSI flow is required to maintain coolant inventory throughout the event.
The initiating event may be at the small end of the medium LOCA size range, but insufficient HHSI flow is available to maintain coolant inventory above the core during the extended RCS blowdown. The operators respond to either overcool the RCS through the steam generators or to open additional RCS relief valves to reduce RCS pressure for LHSI injection.
The initiating event may be in the small-to-intermediate range of the medium LOCA sizes, and sufficient HHSI flow is available to maintain inventory during the blowdown phase of the event. A bounding model is used in the ESD for these intermediate medium LOCA events. Although HHSI flow is sufficient to keep the core flooded, RCS pressure continues to fall. The HHSI pumps eventually reach runout flow conditions at a discharge pressure of approximately 600 psig. The ESD model bounds plant response for these events by requiring subsequent flow from the LHSI pumps to stabilize coolant level at low RCS pressure.
Success of this event block indicates that flow is available from at least one LHSI pump train to its corresponding RCS cold leg. The success path continues to model actions for switchover to low pressure recirculation flow when the RWST is drained. Failure of this block occurs if no flow is available from the LHSI pumps. All failure paths are mapped to eventual core damage from Page 59 of 256
South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI 191 -V02 Revision 1 loss of coolant inventory. The timing and containment conditions for each failure scenario depend on the specific preceding plant responses being modeled.
Event 11 - Automatic Low Pressure Recirculation Switchover. This event represents automatic actions to initiate ECCS pump suction switchover to the emergency containment sumps upon low-low RWST level concurrent with a safety injection signal. Manual actions are not considered. Sump switchover initiates the recirculation phase of the medium or large LOCA with the HHSI, LHSI, and CS pumps taking suction from the emergency containment sumps. Success of this block implies that the automatic recirculation switchover signals are available. Subsequent blocks question the availability of the individual ECCS pump train recirculation suction valves.
Since sump recirculation flow is the only available method to maintain RCS inventory and stable core cooling, failure of this block indicates that core damage will occur after the contents of the RWST are injected. The failure path is mapped to late core damage at low RCS pressure. The resulting plant damage states are designated as "wet" conditions, because RWST water is delivered to the containment sump before core damage occurs.
Event 12 - Recirculation Sump Valves. Successful recirculation switchover will require success of the AC-powered recirculation sump valves to actuate open and the operators to close the RWST isolation valves. The LHSI pumps may also be required to be restarted if they were stopped earlier in the medium LOCA event. This event block models operation of the ECCS pump train suction valves from the containment sumps.
Success indicates that at least one of these valves is open to provide recirculation flow from a running ECCS pump train. The failure path from this block occurs if all three sump suction paths remain closed or if the sump suction paths on those ECCS trains which are operating remain closed. The consequences from these valve failures are identical to those from failure of Event Block 11.
Event 13 - RWST Suction Isolation. The operators are instructed to manually close all three RWST motor-operated suction valves after the recirculation sump suction valves open. If any one of the RWST suction valves remains open after switchover, and its associated check valve fails to close, a path from the containment sump to the RWST, the mechanical auxiliary building, and, subsequently, to the outside environment, is established. The success path from this event block indicates that all three RWST suction lines are closed. The failure path is mapped to late core damage at low RCS pressure. The resulting plant damage state is designated as a "wet" condition because the RWST water is injected into the containment sump before core damage occurs.
Subsequent analysis indicates that failure to isolate the RWST suction valves does not affect sump recirculation (Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR)
Section 6.3.2.2). However, this failure mode is retained in Revision 7.1 and in the GSI-191 project model.
Event 32 - Secure all Containment Spray Pumps.. This event represents a manual operator action to secure all trains of containment spray; per procedure OPOP05-EO-EO10, LOSS OF REACTOR OR SECONDARY COOLANT, Steps 16 and Step 16c when containment pressure falls below 6.5 psig and the TSC concurs. The same procedure notes that it may be necessary to run containment spray for up to Page 60 of 256
South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI 191 -V02 Revision 1 6.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> after sump recirculation switchover in order to reduce containment Iodine levels sufficiently before TSC concurrence would be obtained. This event is added because reducing the flow through the containment strainers reduces the potential for strainer clogging issues. For the current GSI-191 project, this action is always assumed successful. It is included in the model as a means for performing sensitivity analyses on the operator action failure probability. Note that by procedure, only those trains of containment spray operating during the injection phase are to be aligned for sump recirculation prior to this action.
Event 33 - No Sump Failure. This event represents the GSI-191 sump clogging issues specifically related to the sump strainers; i.e., sump plugging resulting in insufficient flow, loss of NPSH, pump cavitation caused by air ingress, or strainer collapse by excessive loading. The sump failure probability is a function of many variables but mainly of the number of ECCS pumps drawing suction from each sump. The remaining GSI-191 issues are represented by later events.
Event 34 - Hot-leg Switchover. This event block was included in the Revision 7.1 ESD for large LOCAs but not for medium LOCAs. It has been added here for the GSI-191 project and applied to both medium LOCAs and large LOCAs. This event requires the operators to align at least one low head safety injection train to the associated RCS hot leg in accordance with procedure OPOP05EOES14, TRANSFER TO HOT LEG RECIRCULATION. At least one low head recirculation train is to remain injecting to the associated cold leg; all other trains are aligned to their associated hot leg. Hot leg recirculation is required approximately 5.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> after a design basis large LOCA, in order to prevent boron precipitation in the reactor vessel which could impede or block the effectiveness of long term recirculation, thus leading to core degradation. Failure of this function is assumed to increase the probability of core damage owing to boron precipitation. Only cold leg breaks are assumed susceptible to a loss of core cooling caused by boron precipitation.
Event 35 - In-Vessel Flow Blockage. This event represents the GSI-1 91 sump clogging issue associated with excessive plugging, within the reactor vessel, of the coolant flow path to the core fuel tubes. The failure probability is a function of the number of pumps trains operating from the sump during recirculation. Failure of this event is assumed to lead to core damage.
Event 36 - No Boron Plugging. This event represents the recently added GSI-1 91 issue associated with boron precipitation sufficient to prevent extended core cooling.
The failure probability is a function of the number of pumps trains operating from the sump during recirculation and on the success or failure of hot leg switchover. Failure of this event is assumed to lead to core damage. Only cold leg breaks are assumed susceptible to a loss of core cooling caused by boron precipitation.
Not shown on the ESD are a number of other actions directed by STP procedures that are not credited in the STP PRA, nor in the modified STP PRA models developed for evaluation of the GSI-191phenomena. These actions provide a source of defense in depth to the analysis performed. In the event of a loss of sump recirculation (i.e., failure of Events 11, 12, 13, 33, 35, or 36), the operators would be directed to procedure OPOP05-EO-EC1 1, "LOSS OF Page 61 of 256
South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI191-V02 Revision 1 EMERGENCY COOLANT RECIRCULATION". Step 6 of this procedure directs the operators to add borated makeup to the RWST via the CVCS blender. Step 30 also directs that alternate sources be used to provide makeup to the RWST; e.g., using a centrifugal charging pump.
Step 39 directs the operators to check with the technical support center for potential other recovery actions. Further, Steps 24 and 36 direct the operators to place the RHR system in service if the Technical Support Center (TSC) concurs. We also note that as a planned response to any LOCA, procedure OPOP05-EO-ES13, "TRANSFER TO COLD LEG RECIRCULATION", Step 8 also directs the operators to begin makeup to the RWST. Each of these actions may prove effective in mitigating a loss of sump recirculation. However, none of the actions listed in this paragraph are credited in the current analysis.
Event 14 - RHR Heat Exchangers. When using the LHSI pumps for sump recirculation cooling, the RHR heat exchangers are normally used to remove core decay heat. This event block models this heat removal function, and includes the individual component cooling water (CCW) supply and return valves for the RHR heat exchangers. Success occurs if the CCW supply and return valves are open, and core decay heat is transferred to the CCW system. Failure of this event block implies that flow is available from the operating LHSI pumps, but insufficient core decay heat is being removed through the RHR heat exchangers for long-term stable core cooling.
Event 15 - RCFCs. Analyses have indicated that the RCFCs can provide an alternative method for removing core decay heat during sump recirculation cooling scenarios. The LHSI pumps are used to circulate water through the core and back to the containment sump through the LOCA flow path. The RCFCs remove heat from the saturated containment atmosphere, and thus remove heat from the containment sump water and the core. Success of this block implies that a sufficient number of RCFCs are operating with their cooling water aligned to the CCW system to provide long-term core cooling. If neither the RHR heat exchangers nor the RCFCs are available for recirculation cooling, it may be possible to use the steam generators.
Analyses are not currently available to determine the effectiveness of heat transfer through the steam generators during MLOCA or large LOCA recirculation flow conditions. It is expected that coolant would remain at the level of the RCS loops, and the steam generator tubes would be at least partially drained. For effective heat transfer, the operators would have to maintain the secondary side of the steam generators at nearly atmospheric conditions by holding open the steam generator PORVs or by reopening the MSIVs and the steam dumps. Only the motor-driven AFW pumps and the startup feedwater pump could supply makeup flow under these conditions. Long-term makeup to the AFWST or the condenser hotwell would be required if an atmospheric steam relief path were kept open. To keep the medium or large LOCA ESD as simple as possible, these alternative steam generator cooling possibilities are not modeled. Therefore, failure of this event block is mapped directly to late core damage at low RCS pressure. The resulting plant damage states are designated as "wet" conditions, because RWST water is injected into the containment sump before core damage occurs. Not shown on the ESD but considered in both the Revision 7.1 and GSI-191 project models, is that the RCFCs are only effective for containment heat removal if the containment purge lines (i.e., Event 27 - Purge Isolation, described earlier) are closed. Also, core heat removal is only credited via the Page 62 of 256
South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI 191 -V02 Revision 1 RCFCs if the LHSI pumps are operating in the sump recirculation mode albeit without RHR heat exchanger cooling. No credit for core cooling is taken for sump recirculation using the HHSI pumps alone in the sump recirculation mode, even with RCFCs operating.
The next event refers back to page 1 of the ESD, when all injection fails because of a failure of ESFAS. Core damage is assumed to result but the question is whether the RWST is still injected automatically via the containment spray pumps. The other events on this portion of the ESD have been previously described.
Event 16 - SSPS/SEQ Common. If the automatic and manual safeguards actuation signals have failed, this event block questions availability of the SSPS logic cabinets and the bus load sequencers to process separate input and output signals for automatic containment spray system startup. If both the logic cabinets and the load sequencer cabinets are available, the containment high-3 pressure condition that occurs at the time of core damage can provide automatic spray system start signals, even though other ECCS equipment has not been automatically or manually started. Success of this event block indicates that the automatic containment spray start signals are available. The failure path from this event block is mapped to early core damage at high RCS pressure.
The resulting plant damage state is designated as a "dry" condition, because no RWST water is injected into the containment sump from the HHSI, LHSI, or CS systems.
Originally this event was represented by Top Event SS. In Revision 7.1 and retained in the GSI-191 project model, the SSPS system is now modeled by top events SPR and SPS in the EPONSITE, support event tree.
The next event refers back to Page 1 of the ESD when all LHSI fails in the injection phase.
Core damage is assumed but the question is whether at least one HHSI pump is available to inject the RWST.
Event 18 - One HHSI. This event is similar to that for Event 9. The success criteria for large LOCAs and the bounding models used for medium LOCAs assign this failure path to eventual core damage, because the HHSI pumps cannot supply adequate coolant makeup flow at runout for these events. However, HHSI injection can deliver RWST water into the containment sump to determine whether the resulting plant damage state is designated as a "wet" or "dry" condition for core debris cooling. Success of this event block indicates that at least one HHSI pump delivers sufficient RWST injection flow. The event success path is mapped to a "wet" plant damage state. Failure of this block occurs if no HHSI pump delivers flow. The failure path continues to evaluate whether the containment spray pumps deliver water into the sump after core damage occurs.
The next event refers back to Page 1 of the ESD when the failure to close the MSIVs and turbine trip failure following a medium LOCA leads to a PTS challenge. The other events on this flow path have been previously described.
Event 19 - RPV Integrity. If the reactor trips, but the main turbine fails to trip, and the MSIVs remain open, the plant will experience a rapid and severe overcooling condition.
Subsequent injection from the HHSI pumps will partially restore RCS pressure following a medium LOCA. This failure mode is not modeled for large LOCAs. The effects from Page 63 of 256
South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI 191 -V02 Revision I these conditions are bounded in the medium and large LOCA ESD by questioning whether the reactor vessel survives this potential pressurized thermal shock (PTS) challenge; i.e., via Top Event VI. If the RPV integrity is compromised to the point of failure, then core melt is likely resulting in an excessive LOCA scenario. Event Block 19 success implies that the reactor vessel remains intact during this transient. The success path continues to the transition cooldown and depressurization portion of the ESD corresponding to an extended medium LOCA blowdown at intermediate RCS pressure.
Failure of this event block implies that reactor vessel integrity is compromised, and, subsequently, the reactor pressure vessel does not remain intact. The effects from this failure are also bounded in the ESD by mapping the failure path to an excessive LOCA condition that exceeds the makeup capacity of all injection systems. The failure sequence is mapped directly to early core damage at low RCS pressure. The resulting plant damage state is designated as a "wet" condition, because at least the HHSI system delivers RWST water into the containment sump.
The following discussion refers to Page 2 of the ESD when all HHSI fails.
Earlier versions of the medium LOCA ESD, included descriptions of additional operator actions to cooldown and depressurize the RCS to pressures less than the LHSI shutoff head; i.e., Events 20 through 26. These events included the status of the AFW system, the steam generator power operated relief valves, the actions to restore MFW including the status of the startup feedwater pump and condensate system, reopening of the MSIVs, the availability of the steam dumps and circulating water system, and, as a backup, the operator action to depressurize the RCS using the pressurizer PORVs and reactor vessel head vents.
These events were always excluded from the medium LOCA event trees and of course the large LOCA event trees. Consistent with these earlier models, the current model assumes that the medium LOCA break size is large enough to depressurize the RCS to allow LHSI injection without these additional events. However, the assumption that at least one HHSI pump must also inject into an intact loop, is also retained.

South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI191-V02 Revision 1 A.4 Medium or Large LOCA Event Trees This section describes the LOCA event tree, which is derived from the medium or large LOCA ESD discussed in the previous section. The medium or large LOCA event model is also broken up into two stages when the ESD is converted into an event tree. The early response event tree (i.e., MLOCA) evaluates all the expected medium or large LOCA transient response sequences and accident sequences that lead to core damage within approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> after the occurrence of the event; i.e., during the RCS injection phase, and the containment protection functions before switchover to sump recirculation. The late response event tree (i.e., LTMLOCA) evaluates the progression of sequences during and after recirculation switchover, and the availability of core debris cooling after core damage has occurred. While many of the event blocks in the medium or large LOCA ESD are mapped into the MLOCA event tree, there are several event blocks in the medium LOCA ESD that are not included in the medium or large LOCA event tree as top events. Table A.4-1 provides the grouping of medium or large LOCA ESD event blocks into event tree top events. The rationale for excluding event blocks from the MLOCA event tree follows. These comments apply to both medium LOCAs and large LOCAs.
Table B.3-1 in Appendix B presents all the split fraction values used in quantification of the medium and large LOCA event model. The changes in split fractions made to incorporate outputs from CASA GRANDE to evaluate GSI-191 phenomena are highlighted in red text of that table and the basis for these changes are described with the top events presented below. For top events with no discussion of their corresponding split fractions, no changes were made for this evaluation; i.e., the split fractions are the same as in the reference PRA, Version 7.1, for STP.
The reactor trip event (MLOCA Event Block 1) is not included in the MLOCA event tree, because the requirement for injection insures sufficient boron is present in the RCS to guarantee reactor shutdown.
The ESFAS system, the SSPS logic cabinets, and the bus load sequencer cabinets (MLOCA Event Blocks 2 and 16) are modeled in the electric power tree; EPONSITE. These events model the generation of the necessary control signals to engineered safety feature (ESF) equipment and isolation of important containment penetrations. These signals start the HHSI and the LHSI pumps, and align the associated safety injection valves. These signals also affect startup and alignment of equipment in several of the plant support systems, such as ECW, component cooling water, essential chilled water, electrical equipment and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC). Therefore, the availability of these signals must be determined as an input to the mechanical support systems event tree model. The electric power event tree split fraction rules transmit the status of these signal availabilities to the mechanical support, MLOCA, and the LTMLOCA response event tree. The electric power event tree also includes a top event for operator actions to manually start equipment very early in the sequence if the automatic signals fail (medium or large LOCA ESD Event Block 3). These recovery actions are evaluated on a sequence-specific basis to account for effects from operator stress, event timing, procedures, etc. They are included in the electric power portion of the event tree model to ensure that the effects from both successful and failed recovery actions are correctly propagated through the remaining event trees.

South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSII91-V02 Revision 1 Three sets of pumps are modeled in the MLOCA early tree; the HHSI pump trains (ESD Event Block 9), the LHSI pump trains (ESD Block 10) and the containment spray pump trains (ESD Event Block 17).
The medium LOCA early response tree also considers the containment isolation function, which occurs early in the sequences. Operation of the reactor containment fan coolers (RCFCs, ESD Event Block 15) is also considered in the MLOCA event tree, as their operation can affect containment sump temperatures.
Medium or large LOCA ESD Event Block 6 considers the successful reclosure (or remaining closed) of the steam dump valves in the context of a severe overcooling transient but is not modeled in the MLOCA event tree. The operation of the steam dump valves to assist in secondary heat removal (ESD Event Block 25) is not modeled in the MLOCA event tree.
Secondary heat removal could be important in a medium LOCA scenario, if primary pressure remains above LHSI shutoff pressure and there is insufficient HHSI for primary makeup. The objective, given these conditions, is to rapidly depressurize the primary system to LHSI cut-in conditions. The MLOCA event tree does not take credit for rapid depressurization under these circumstances. For large LOCAs, the RCS depressurizes rapidly anyway and again these functions are not of concern. Thus, it is not necessary to model the following medium LOCA ESD event blocks related to rapid depressurization:
Decreasing the Steam Generator PORV Setpoints (Medium LOCA ESD Event Block 20)
The Availability of the AFWST and the Motor-Driven AFW Trains (Medium LOCA ESD Event Block 21)
Reopening the MFW Isolation Valves (Medium LOCA ESD Event Block 22)
Using the Motor-Driven Startup Feedwater Pump and the Condensate System (Medium LOCA ESD Event Block 23)
Reopening the MSIVs (Medium LOCA ESD Block Event 24)
The Opening of the Steam Dumps (Medium LOCA ESD Event Block 25)
RCS Depressurization Using the Pressurizer PORVs and the Reactor Pressure Vessel Head Vents (Medium LOCA ESD Event Block 26)
This conservative approach substantially reduces the size of the MLOCA event tree without introducing significant conservatisms into the model.
The remainder of the medium and large LOCA ESD event blocks, which are excluded from the medium LOCA event tree, are included in the late response event tree. These event blocks include:

A.4.1 MLOCA Early Event Tree The remainder of this section discusses the top events of both the early and late frontline system response trees. Figure A.4-1 shows the MLOCA early response event tree, which has been generalized to make it applicable for both medium LOCAs and large LOCAs.
Top Event TT. This top event includes medium or large LOCA ESD Event Block 5. Top Event TT determines whether full-rated steam flow is stopped after the reactor is shutdown. This is normally accomplished by tripping the main turbine (Medium LOCA ESD Event Block 5). Turbine trip is achieved by closing the turbine throttle or governor valves. In the event of main turbine trip failure (i.e., turbine throttle or governor valves remain open), automatic signals will be generated to close the MSIVs (Event Block 4).
Success of Top Event TT occurs if the main turbine is tripped. The success branch indicates that there is no severe overcooling of the primary via the steam generators.
Subsequent top events model operation of the HHSI and LHSI delivering flow to the vessel. Top Event TT fails if at least one pair of turbine throttle valves and governor valves remains open. The plant response to the failure of Top Event TT and Top Event SGI is conservatively bounded by treating the resulting cooldown as if full-rated steam flow continues after the reactor is shut down. Failure of the turbine to trip is not of interest for large LOCAs because the RCS cools down rapidly anyway.
Top Event SGI. This top event includes medium or large LOCA ESD Event Block 4. If the main turbine throttle valves and governor valves remain open, failure of Top Event TT, automatic signals will be generated to close the MSIVs. Success of Top Event MSIV occurs if at least three of four MSIVs close automatically following turbine trip failure.
Failure may also occur if in response to a turbine trip failure, an MSIV fails to close and there is a coincident failure to isolate the feedwater regulating valves on the same loop.
The success branch indicates that there is no severe steam generator overcooling.
Failure of Top Event SGI occurs if at least two MSIVs fail to close. To avoid the need to model multiple top events and to perform separate cooldown analyses for a variety of steam flow conditions, plant response to the failure branch from Top Event SGI is conservatively bounded by treating the resulting cooldown as if full-rated steam flow continues to the turbine after the reactor is shut down. The failure branch thus subsequently evaluates the effect of pressurized thermal shock to the reactor vessel.

South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI191-V02 Revision 1 Top Event Vl. The MLOCA early response event tree applies a conservative bounding model for the effects from potential reactor vessel PTS challenges represented by the medium or large LOCA ESD Event Block 19. Top Event VI evaluates the likelihood that the reactor vessel remains intact during a severe overcooling transient caused by failure of Top Event TT and Top Event SGI. Vessel integrity is evaluated assuming both HHSI and LHSI pumps will be available for injection. The model also contains the following two principal sources of conservatism.
The assigned temperature and pressure conditions for which Top Event VI is evaluated.
The subsequent effects following failure of Top Event VI.
The rate and amount of RCS overcooling are bounded by assigning failure of top events TT and SGI to a condition with full-rated steam flow remaining after the reactor is tripped. Automatic safeguards actuation signals from high pressure rate and low pressurizer pressure (success of Medium LOCA ESD Event Block 2) will cause full injection flow from the HHSI pumps (success of Medium LOCA ESD Event Block 9).
Failure of the operators to quickly stop all HHSI flow will partially restore RCS pressure.
No detailed analyses have been performed to compare the rate of volumetric shrinkage during the cooldown with the rate of RCS repressurization. However, the estimate is that the lack of credit in the model for this operator action to terminate HHSI introduces only slight conservatism. Full HHSI flow will begin to refill the RCS when the steam generators boil dry and the cooldown subsides. Emergency procedures and operator training programs strongly advise against rapid intervention to reverse automatic system response until a comprehensive plant status review is completed. Based on these observations, the results from detailed analyses of RCS thermal and hydraulic response and a time-integrated model for operator interaction are expected to provide only slight changes from the bounding repressurization model used for Top Event VI. The model also does not account for possible extensions to the repressurization time that could result from partial or total HHSI system failure.
The effects from failure of Top Event VI during medium LOCAs are conservatively bounded by assigning the failure branch of Top Event VI to an excessive LOCA condition beyond the combined makeup capacity from the HHSI and LHSI systems.
This condition is equivalent to catastrophic failure of the reactor vessel. For large LOCAs, the RCS is already open and depressurized so that top event is assumed successful regardless of the status of top events TT and SGI. The failure branch of Top Event VI continues to question the common equipment that affects RWST injection flow to the ECCS trains. All of those branches are then directly mapped to the long-term response tree.
The success of Top Event VI implies that the integrity of the reactor vessel is intact. The tasks at hand are to cooldown and depressurize the RCS in order to achieve long-term cooling. Since this requires LHSI and HHSI, the success branch of Top Event VI also models top events representing the common equipment that affects RWST injection flow to the ECCS trains.

South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI191-V02 Revision I Top Event S138A. This top event models the common cold leg injection check valve to RCS loop A, S10038A. HHSI, LHSI, and the RCS Loop A accumulator share this common check valve. Failure of this top event disables Train A injection to the RCS.
However, failure of this top event does not necessarily fail pump operation. Therefore, for the GSI-191 project, failure of this top event was assumed to have no impact on the two pumps and the accumulator to Train A themselves. Rather, the requirement for this common check valve is considered later in a macro that describes successful HHSI and LHSI RCS injection and in a macro describing avoidance of core damage.
Top Event S138B. This top event models the common cold leg injection check valve to RCS Loop B, S10038B. This top event is similar to Top Event S138A Top Event S138C. This top event models the common cold leg injection check valve to RCS Loop C, S10038C. This top event is similar to Top Event S138A Top Event Al. This top event models the three accumulators in the emergency core cooling systems. The accumulators each discharge into one of the RCS cold legs in Loop A, B, or C. For medium LOCAs, success of this top event requires at least one of three accumulators to successfully inject. It's possible that the break may be in one of the three Loops A, B, C, or to Loop D to which no accumulators are connected. The specific RCS loop in which the break is said to occur is assigned an equal probability for all loops and is tracked by top event BRKS. Top Event BRKS is placed in the common SEISET event tree. Failure of this top event indicates no accumulator successfully injects into the RCS. For large LOCAs, the success criterion is that two accumulators must successfully inject. Failure of Top Event Al is assumed to lead to core damage and is defined in Macro "SUCC" in the MLOCA Plant Damage State Tree, PDSML.
Top Event CP. Top Event CP models the automatic isolation of all normally open "large" containment penetrations (> 3-inch diameter) before or at the time of vessel failure. The containment penetrations of particular concern are the large containment supplementary purge lines. Success of this top event requires that at least one containment isolation valve in each purge line be automatically closed. Success implies that there is no immediate venting of fission products, and that the RCFCs are capable of removing heat and radioactivity from the containment atmosphere through the condensation process, while also preserving water inventory in the containment. Thus, the success branch of Top Event CP questions the availability of RCFCs under Top Event CF. The success branch for Top Event CP does ask small containment line isolation in addition to questions relating to fission product removal.
Failure of Top Event CP occurs if at least one of the containment purge lines remains unisolated. This immediate venting of the fission products renders the RCFCs ineffective for filtering the releases. The only effective method for fission product removal occurs if the containment sprays operate at the time of vessel failure. Thus, the failure branch from Top Event CP does not question the status of the RCFCs, but focuses on the containment sprays modeled by Top Event CS. Since containment integrity is lost, small containment line isolation is no longer significant, and is therefore not asked. With at least one of the containment purge lines unisolated, the containment remains atmospheric limiting some of the margin for NPSH.
Page 71 of 256
South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI191-V02 Revision 1 Top Event Cl. This top event models the automatic isolation of the containment penetrations that connect the containment atmosphere to the outside atmosphere, are open before or at the time of reactor vessel failure, and have a flow area less than an equivalent 3-inch diameter hole. The top event includes long-term response core melt ESD Event Block 28. Top Event Cl is questioned except in those sequences in which the supplementary purge lines are unisolated (failure of Top Event CP). The penetrations considered in the analysis of this top event include:,
Containment Radiation Monitor Sampling Lines Pressurizer Relief Tank (PRT) Vent Line PRT Post-Accident Sampling Reactor Coolant Drain Tank (RCDT) Vent Line RCDT to Liquid Waste Penetration Space (LWPS) Holdup Tank Flow Path Containment Normal Sump Drain Line Seal Return and Letdown Line Top Event CF. Top Event CF includes the MLOCA ESD Block 15 and models the availability of at least two RCFCs with cooling water flow supplied by the CCW system.
Success of Top Event CF indicates that long-term containment heat removal and fission product removal are being provided. If LHSI pump flow is later established from the containment sump in the recirculation mode to the RCS is also available, regardless of whether the RHR heat exchangers is cooled, then core decay heat removal is also available.
Top Event PA. This top event models all common equipment that affects RWST injection flow from ECCS Train A; i.e., HHSI Pump A, LHSI Pump A, and Containment Spray Pumps A. This is the Train A portion of MLOCA ESD Event Block 8. Success of Top Event PA indicates that the RWST is available, that Train A Motor-Operated Suction Valve XSI-0001A is open, that Check Valve XSI-0002A opens on demand, and that room cooling is available. The success branch of Top Event PA continues in the early response tree to question the availability of flow from the Train A LHSI pump and HHSI pump. Failure of Top Event PA implies that the Train A ECCS pumps are not available to inject RWST water into the RCS or containment. If the pumps receive automatic signals to start during the early phase of event response, the failure branch from Top Event PA is assigned to an end state that also disables all three ECCS Train A pumps (i.e., HHSI, LHSI, and containment spray on Train A) for later containment sump recirculation flow.
Top Event PB. This top event is similar to Top Event PA. It models the common equipment that affects RWST injection from ECCS train B.
Page 72 of 256
South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI191-V02 Revision 1 Top Event PZ. This top event is similar to Top Event PA. It models the common equipment that affects RWST injection from ECCS Train C.
The RWST is shared by all three ECCS pump trains. The event tree logic structure has been simplified by not including a separate top event for model failures of this common borated water supply. Failure of the RWST disables Top Events PA, PB, and PZ. This single contribution is propagated through the conditional split fraction models. Thus, RWST failure leads directly to event sequences with all three Top Events PA, PB, and PZ failed.
Top Event HA. Top Event HA models the availability of HHSI Train A to deliver water from the common ECCS suction header to the RCS. It includes the Train A portion of Medium LOCA ESD Block 9. Success of Top Event HA requires the train A HHSI pump to start and to continue operation for at least 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, delivering injection flow to the RCS. Success of this top event requires success of Top Event PA. Success of the HHSI function during a medium or large break LOCA requires at least one pump train to inject into an intact RCS loop. The location of the broken loop is set in the seismic event tree, SEISET, in Top Event BRKS. However, for the GSI-191 project, success of Top Event HA is instead considered even if the break is located in Loop A. For the GSI-191 model, we are interested in whether the HHSI pumps operate and eventually take suction from the containment sump regardless if their injection flow is injected to the RCS. Rather, the requirement for RCS injection, that loop A not be the break location, is considered later in a macro that describes successful RCS injection and in a macro describing avoidance of core damage. Total pump flow taking suction from the containment sumps is an important parameter in determining the potential for sump strainer blockage and strainer failures, air ingress, and whether excessive debris collects in the fuel.
Top Event HB. This top event is similar to Top Event HA. It models startup and operation of HHSI Train B.
Top Event HC. This top event is similar to Top Event HA. It models startup and operation of HHSI Train C.
Top Event LA. LHSl pump train A delivers flow to the RCS. For the GSI-191 model, we are also interested in whether the LHSI pumps operate and eventually take suction form the containment sump regardless if their injection flow is injected to the RCS. Total pump flow taking suction from the containment sumps is an important parameter in determining the potential for sump strainer blockage and strainer failures, air ingress, and whether excessive debris collects in the fuel. The status of the LHSI pump trains is initially assumed not affected by the location of the break since the LHSI pumps may still eventually take suction from the containment sumps even if the injection loop for that train is the same as the break location and flow never enters the RCS. Rather, the requirement for RCS injection, that Loop A not be the break location, is considered later in a macro that describes successful RCS injection and in a macro describing avoidance of core damage.
Top Event LB. Same as LA with respect to Train B Page 73 of 256
South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-l191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI 191 -V02 Revision 1 Top Event LC. Same as LA with respect to Train C Top Event CS. This top event has been modified from the CSR and WI top events originally used to represent containment spray in the medium LOCA late tree in Revision 7.1. Those top events represented the operation of containment during the recirculation mode (i.e., CSR) or for water injection into the containment after core damage (i.e., WI), if the RWST had not been injected earlier. For Revision 7.1, containment spray during the injection phase was not modeled since containment spray is not required to realistically limit containment pressure to acceptable levels, even for the largest of the large LOCAs.
For the GSI-191 project, the availability of containment spray pumps during sump recirculation can affect the potential for strainer clogging issues. Therefore, both the spray injection and spray recirculation functions are of interest. Top Event CS tracks the availability of the containment spray pumps to start and operate in response to the containment pressure increase during RCS blowdown, and for the pumps to operate for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. The status of all three spray pump trains are tracked by the eight state top event; i.e., CS. The associated containment spray pump trains are later assumed failed if the common RWST suction valves for that train (i.e., PA, PB, or PZ) are failed. However, the status of the spray trains is not affected by the location of the break, nor by the failure of the common SI injection check valves since the spray pumps do not inject to the RCS. A total of 66 split fractions are developed for Top Event CS. Two of these split fractions are used as defaults; i.e., for guaranteed success (i.e., 0 failure probability) or failed (1.0 failure probability) boundary conditions. The remaining 64 correspond to the evaluation of the eight states of this top event for eight different boundary conditions. The eight different boundary conditions correspond to the conditions when supporting systems (e.g., AC power) are successful or failed for each of the three pump trains; i.e., eight conditions in all. The actual fault tree for containment spray is not logically different than that developed for Version 7.1 in that the failure modes considered are the same. The fault tree logic has only been restructured to allow for the evaluation of all 66 split fractions.
Top Event OSI. This new top event represents a manual operator action to secure one train of containment spray, if all three are running, to conserve RWST water; i.e., per Procedure OPOP05-EO-EO10, LOSS OF REACTOR OR SECONDARY COOLANT. This event was not modeled in Revision 7.1. It is added because reducing the flow through the containment strainers reduces the potential for strainer clogging issues. This top event is only branched at in MLOCA event tree after the one Top Event CS state in which all three trains of containment spray are successfully running since that is the only condition in which the action is directed.
For the current GSI-1 91 project, this action is always assumed failed within the PRA model; i.e., split fraction OSIZ=1.0 is always used. However, within CASA GRANDE, this action is always assumed successful when determining the failure probabilities introduced by the GSI-191 phenomena. This top event is included in the PRA model only as a means for performing sensitivity analyses of the pump state combination frequencies on the operator action failure probability.
Page 74 of 256
South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI 191 -V02 Revision I Detailed quantification of the success or failure for each top event is accomplished by defining one or more split fractions that depend on the specific event sequence conditions when the top event is questioned. These split fractions account for important dependencies that affect system success criteria, equipment response, or operator actions. The models for each split fraction are presented in more detail in the system analysis notebooks.

6.This top event is modeled in the long-term response event tree. (LTMLOCA).
7.Since the Medium LOCA initiating event category covers a range of RCS breaks (flow rates from piping ruptures from 2 inches to 6 inches in diameter), this event block is used as "flag" to note the differences in plant response for this range of break sizes. Although this event block is not modeled explicitly in the event trees, the Medium LOCA event tree structure and success criteria for HHSI and LHSI apply a simplified bounding model and reflects the case where the Medium LOCA requires one HHSI pump and one LHSI pump injecting into an intact RCS loop.

Top Event N2 at the beginning of the late Medium LOCA event tree segregates sequences requiring emergency containment recirculation cooling from those sequences resulting in or tending towards core damage as a result of the sequence path through the early Medium LOCA event tree. LTMLOCA also evaluates the status of emergency containment sump recirculation function (Top Events RA, RB, and RC), sump clogging issues (i.e., Top Events OFFS, HLEG, FBLK, and BORON) and RHR cooling (Top Event RX).
The MLOCA and LTMLOCA event trees were used for the Medium LOCA initiating event only in Revision 7.1. For the GSI-191 project, the revised set of early and late event trees for Medium LOCA have been generalized to also make them applicable to large LOCAs. The Revision 7.1 large LOCA event tree is not used.
Top events in the LTMLOCA event tree are described below.
Top Event N2. Identifies the sequence paths through the MLOCA tree resulting in early core damage. Early core damage may result from a PTS condition I6ading to vessel failure, from inadequate accumulator injection, from failure of HHSI, or from failure of LHSI. For large LOCAs, only inadequate accumulator injection or failure of LHSI core damage mechanisms apply. The status of containment spray injection is established in the early MLOCA event tree but is not used in the evaluating the status of Top Event N2.
" Top Event RA. Containment sump suction path for Train A available and RWST isolated for HHSI, LHSI, and containment spray Train A. Failure of Top Event RA prevents sump recirculation involving the HHSI, LHSI, or containment spray pump on Train A.
" Top Event RB. Same as RA with respect to Train B
" Top Event RC. Same as RA with respect to Train C Top Event OFFS. This new top event for the GSI-191 project represents a manual operator action to secure all trains of containment spray; per Procedure OPOP05-EO-EO10, LOSS OF REACTOR OR SECONDARY COOLANT, Step 16 and Step 16c when containment pressure falls below 6.5 psig and the TSC concurs. The same procedure notes that it may be necessary to run containment spray for up to 6.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> after sump recirculation switchover in order to reduce containment Iodine levels sufficiently before TSC concurrence would be obtained. This event is added because reducing the flow through the containment strainers reduces the potential for strainer clogging issues.. It is included in the model as a means for performing sensitivity analyses of the pump state combination frequencies on the operator action failure probability. Note that by procedure, only those trains of containment spray operating during the injection phase are to be aligned for sump recirculation prior to this action.

South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI 191 -V02 Revision 1 For the current GSI-191 project, this action is always assumed failed within the PRA model; i.e., split fraction OFFSZ=1.0 is always used. However, within CASA GRANDE, this action is always assumed successful when determining the failure probabilities introduced by the GSI-191 phenomena.
Top Event SUMP. This new top event for the GSI-191 project represents the GSI-191 sump clogging issues specifically related to the sump strainers; i.e., sump plugging resulting in insufficient flow, loss of NPSH, pump cavitation caused by air ingress, or strainer collapse by excessive loading. The remaining GSI-191 issues are represented by later top events.
At STP, there are three separate sump strainers; one for each of the three pump trains A, B, and C. The sump failure probabilities are provided by CASA GRANDE as a function of the specific sequence paths through the MLOCA and LTMLOCA event trees.
For the GSI-191 project model of 2012, these failure probabilities are evaluated as a function of the number of HHSI, HLSI and containment spray pumps operating for sump recirculation. CASA GRANDE looks at the sump failure probabilities for each of the three trains separately and reports the highest of the three for each sequence condition.
The RISKMAN PRA model then conservatively assumes that if one sump strainer fails they all do. If Top Event SUMP fails, this implies that all three trains of sump recirculation fail and that core damage results.
Since the most likely condition is that all three pump trains are available on each strainer for sump recirculation, this assumption is not believed overly conservative.
The failure probabilities for this top event are provided directly from the CASA GRANDE output in Volume 3. The uncertainty in these failure probabilities are reported as discrete probability distributions with 5 points each. A data variable is developed for each pump state failure probability distribution. Then these data variables are assigned directly as the split fraction values for each pump state analyzed. The mean values from the CASA GRANDE output distributions are used for the mean values of the SUMP split fractions. The full data variable 5 bin distributions are instead used when uncertainty analysis is performed. Effectively these split fractions can be thought of as single basic event fault tree where the basic event probability is the same as the split fraction value.
There are 10 split fractions assigned to this top event; i.e., five each for medium LOCA and for large LOCA. It is coincidental that the number of split fractions analyzed is the same number as the number of discrete points in the data variable uncertainty distributions for sump failure probability noted above. Since there are three ECCS pump systems of interest and each can be in a state of zero, one, two, or three pumps running, there are theoretically a total of 64 pump state combinations. Actually there are fewer combinations because only those sequences in which sufficient pumps are available to prevent core damage are of interest for Top Event SUMP. The CASA GRANDE results have been evaluated for just five of these possible pump state combinations for both medium LOCAs and large LOCAs. An additional 11 pump state combinations are assigned to the least conservative pump state combination split fractions from among the five states that are evaluated by CASA GRANDE for each LOCA size. For these 11 combinations a new split fraction is not developed but rather the relevant sequences are assigned to use one of the five that are developed for each LOCA size. The Page 81 of 256
South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI 191 -V02 Revision 1 remaining 48 pump state combinations are relatively low in occurrence frequency and are therefore conservatively assumed to always fail Top Event SUMP; i.e., we conservatively assume sump plugging occurs for these unanalyzed pump state combinations.
Top Event HILEG. This top event is not included in the LTMLOCA event tree of Revision 7.1. It has been added here for the GSI-1 91 project and applied to both medium LOCAs and large LOCAs. The fault tree for Top Event HLEG models the operator action and equipment necessary to align at least one low head safety injection train to the associated RCS hot leg in accordance with Procedure OPOP05EOES14 -
TRANSFER TO HOT LEG RECIRCULATION. This procedure directs that both HHSI and LHSI trains be aligned for hot leg recirculation. At least one low head recirculation train is to remain injecting to the associated cold leg; all other LHSI trains are aligned to their associated hot leg. Hot leg recirculation is required approximately 5.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> after a design basis large LOCA, in order to prevent boron precipitation in the reactor vessel which could impede or block the effectiveness of long term recirculation, thus leading to core degradation. Success of the hot leg recirculation function requires an operator action to align at least one recirculation flow path to discharge to the reactor coolant system hot leg. Failure of this function may lead to core damage if boron precipitation is excessive.
For the GSI-191 project in 2012, the probability of excessive boron precipitation considered later in top event BORON is assumed dependent on whether the break is in the cold leg, on the extent of core flow blockage prior to hot leg switchover, and by whether a LHSI train is realigned for hot leg recirculation; i.e., no dependence on the number of HHSI trains aligned is assumed. It's possible that aligning the flow from just a single HHSI pump for hot leg recirculation would also be successful, but this is not credited.
There are three trains of LHSI which may be aligned for hot leg recirculation but by procedure, one must remain aligned for cold leg recirculation. The procedures are not explicit as to the trains to align so we assume that either Train A, Train B, or both Trains A and B are aligned for hot leg recirculation depending on the number of LHSI pump trains operating during sump recirculation. Separate split fractions are evaluated for cases when only Train A is available for swapover to hot leg, when only B is available or when both A and B are available, the latter case because all three LHSI pump trains are operating in the sump recirculation mode. Sequence conditions in which at least two LHSI pump trains are not operating are instead assigned to a guaranteed failure probability for Top Event HLEG when quantifying the event tree; i.e., Split Fraction HLEGZ=1.0 is used.
Recall that if only two trains of LHSI are operating, that the train realigned to the hot leg may inadvertently be directed to the loop where the break is located. This event combination is counted as a failure of the LHSI pump train which would be aligned to the broken RCS loop for hot leg recirculation. Since the second train of LHSI must be maintained on cold leg injection such a situation is also assumed to fail hot leg recirculation represented by top event HLEG due to diversion of flow out the broken loop.

South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI191-V02 Revision 1 Top Event FBLK. This new top event for the GSI-191 project represents the GSI-191 sump clogging issue associated with excessive plugging within the reactor vessel of the coolant flow path to the core fuel tubes. The probability of failure is provided as an input from CASA GRANDE. The failure probability is a function of the number of pumps trains operating from the sump during recirculation. Failure of this event is assumed to lead to core damage.
The failure probabilities for this top event are provided directly from the CASA GRANDE output in Volume 3. The uncertainty in these failure probabilities are reported as discrete probability distributions with 5 points each. A data variable is developed for each pump state failure probability distribution. Then these data variables are assigned directly as the split fraction values for each pump state analyzed. The mean values from the CASA GRANDE output distributions are used for the mean values of the FBLK split fractions. The full data variable 5 bin distributions are instead used when uncertainty analysis is performed. Effectively these split fractions can be thought of as single basic event fault tree where the basic event probability is the same as the split fraction value.
There are 10 split fractions assigned to this top event; i.e., five each for medium LOCA and for large LOCA. It is coincidental that the number of split fractions analyzed is the same number as the number of discrete points in the data variable uncertainty distributions for sump failure probability noted above. Since there are three ECCS pump systems of interest and each can be in a state of zero, one, two, or three pumps running, there are theoretically a total of 64 pump state combinations. Actually there are fewer combinations because only those sequences in which sufficient pumps are available to prevent core damage are of interest for Top Event FBLK. The CASA GRANDE results have been evaluated for just five of these possible states for both medium LOCAs and large LOCAs. An additional 11 pump state combinations are assigned to the least conservative split fractions from among the five pump state results that are evaluated by CASA GRANDE for each LOCA size. For these 11 combinations a new split fraction is not developed but rather they are assigned to use one of the five that are developed for each LOCA size. The remaining 48 pump state combinations are relatively low in occurrence frequency and are therefore conservatively assumed to always fail Top Event FBLK; i.e., we conservatively assume flow blockage within the reactor core or entrance to the core occurs for these unanalyzed pump state combinations.
The above describes how the PRA model was changed to accept the CASA GRANDE results before they were made available. The CASA GRANDE results later showed that there was zero probability of flow blockage failure for any of the conditions analyzed.
Nevertheless, for all the other 48 pump state combinations a failure probability of 1.0 was assumed. However, this conservative assumption has no effect on the GSI-191 results because all those same sequences are already assigned to failure of sump plugging via top event SUMP.
Top Event BORON. This new top event for the GSI-1 91 project represents the recently added GS-1 91 issue associated with boron precipitation sufficient to prevent extended core cooling. The failure probability is a function of the number of pumps trains operating from the sump during recirculation and on the success or failure of hot leg switchover. Failure of this event is assumed to lead to core damage.

South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI191-V02 Revision 1 CASA GRANDE provides the probabilities of boron precipitation prior to the alignment for hot leg recirculation at 5.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br />. The split of break locations in the hot leg versus the cold leg is considered in CASA GRANDE for each break size. If the break is in the hot leg, the potential for boron precipitation is judged to be zero. If the break is in the cold leg, CASA GRANDE provides the probability of boron precipitation in the first 5.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> as a function of the ECCS pump state combinations operating; i.e., prior to hot leg recirculation switchover. If boron precipitation in the first 5.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> does not occur, then Top Event BORON further considers whether the alignment for hot leg recirculation is successful; i.e., whether Top Event HLEG is successful. If HLEG is successful, then no boron precipitation after 5.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> is assumed. If HLEG fails, then the fraction of breaks which are in the cold leg are considered when evaluating the probability of excessive boron precipitation. Only if the break is in the cold leg and HLEG fails is boron precipitation after 5.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> assumed. Since failure of hot leg switchover is assumed to guarantee boron precipitation failure for cold leg breaks in the long term, there is no need to distinguish failures earlier than the required time of switchover from later times.
Top Event HLEG is therefore asked first and the split fractions for Top Event BORON account for this observation.
The excessive boron precipitation failure probabilities for this top event are provided from the CASA GRANDE output in Volume 3 for the period of time prior to hot leg recirculation switchover. The uncertainty in these failure probabilities are reported as discrete probability distributions with 5 points each. A data variable is developed for each pump state failure probability distribution. Then these data variables are considered in the development of the split fraction values for each pump state analyzed.
The CASA GRANDE failure probabilities are used directly for split fraction conditions in which the switchover to hot leg recirculation is successful; i.e. when HLEG=S there is no contribution to boron precipitation failure after switchover. For split fraction conditions involving failure of switchover to hot leg recirculation, the early probability of excessive boron precipitation is added to the fraction of breaks which occur in the cold legs to account for excessive boron precipitation after the time of required hot leg switchover.
The overlap of the two failure probabilities is subtracted out to avoid double counting the overlap in the total split fraction probability. Effectively these split fractions can be thought of as one or two basic event fault trees. In practice, the split fraction equation creation method of RISKMAN was again used to avoid the need to create such fault trees which while simple are also numerous.
The mean values from the CASA GRANDE output distributions are used for the point estimate mean values of the SUMP split fractions. The full data variable 5 bin distributions are instead used when uncertainty analysis is performed.
There are 26 split fractions assigned to this top event which consider both boron precipitation in the first 5.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> and afterwards if hot leg recirculation is not successful; i.e., 13 each for medium LOCA and for large LOCA. The 13 split fractions for each apply to the five different pump state cases, with and without HLEG success, plus three additional, default split fractions that are independent of the specific pump state. Since there are three ECCS pump systems of interest and each can be in a state of zero, one, two, or three pumps running, there are theoretically a total of 64 pump state combinations. Actually there are fewer combinations because only those sequences in Page 84 of 256
South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RJ-GSI 191 -V02 Revision 1 which sufficient pumps are available to prevent core damage are of interest for Top Event BORON. The CASA GRANDE results have been evaluated for just five of these possible states for both medium LOCAs and large LOCAs. An additional 11 pump state combinations are assigned to the least conservative pump state combination split fractions from among the five pump state results that are evaluated by CASA GRANDE for each LOCA size. For these 11 combinations a new split fraction is not developed but rather the relevant sequences are assigned to use one of the five that are developed for each LOCA size. The remaining 48 pump state combinations are each individually relatively low in occurrence frequency and are therefore conservatively assumed to always fail Top Event BORON; i.e., we conservatively assume that excessive boron precipitation results for these unanalyzed pump state combinations.
Top Event RX. Top Event RX models the availability of the RHR heat exchangers to remove core decay heat. It includes the medium LOCA ESD Event Block 14. The top event is questioned whenever at least one LHSI pump train is available to provide low pressure recirculation flow through the RHR heat exchangers. Success implies that the associated component cooling water (CCW) supply and return valves are open for the RHR heat exchangers, and that core decay heat is being removed through the CCW system. The success for Top Event RX is that the RHR heat exchanger be available for decay heat removal for at least one of the associated and available LHSI pump trains operating in the recirculation mode. In scenarios in which only one LHSI pump train is available (only Top Event LA, LB, or LC is successful), success of Top Event RX requires the RHR heat exchanger associated with that LHSI pump train to be available.
The success path indicates that long-term core decay and containment heat removal is established in at least one functioning safety injection train. Failure of Top Event RX indicates that no core decay heat removal is available through the RHR heat exchanger.
An alternate heat removal mechanism via the RCFCs may be established, but still at least one LHSI pump train must be operating in the sump recirculation mode..

South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI 191 -V02 Revision 1 A.4.3 Plant Damage Statesfor Medium LOCA Events The final linked event tree in the Level 1 linked set for medium and large LOCAs is the same as that developed in Revision 7.1 for Medium LOCAs; i.e., PDSML. This is a single top event tree that is used simply to supply the plant damage state binning logic for each path through the Level 1 models; i.e., the single Top Event BI is set to guaranteed success.
The binning logic for PDSML is developed in terms of macros defining the conditions for physical parameters that are used in both the PDSML binn-ing rules and in the CET Level 2 split fraction assignment and release category binning logic. This macro logic is shown in Table A.4.3-1. The key macro, SUCC, defines the conditions in which a sequence avoids core damage.
The contributors to core damage are distinguished by the failure mechanisms. Four different bins are defined; i.e., MELT, MELTSUMP, MELTFBLK, and MELTBORON. Bin MELT represents the conditions that lead to core damage that are not related to any of the GSI-191 issues. The other three bins correspond to the GSI-191 failure mechanisms; i.e., sump strainer failures, fuel flow blockage, and boron precipitation. IF there are sequences in which multiple GSI-1 91 failure mechanisms are present, the failures are grouped in the order in which the bins appear in the rules; i.e., MELT, MELTSUMP, MELTFBLK, and then MELTBORON. The Level 1 sequence group PDS is then defined as the sum of these four bins.
Table A.4.3-2 shows the Plant Damage State Assignment Rules for Medium/Large LOCAs in terms of the macros presented in Table A.4.3-1.

South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GSI191-V02 Revision I A.4.4 Level 2 Containment Event Treefor Medium and Large LOCA events The Level 2 containment event tree developed for Revision 7.1 of the STP PRA (Reference 2) is used as is for the GSI-191 project. This includes the definition of release categories and the grouping of release categories into four release category groups; i.e., RELI, RELII, RELIII, and RELIV. One difference is in the logic defining the macros used in the CET. These macros are those defined in Table A.4.3-1. Because the containment spray top events CSR and WI were removed and the new Top Event CS added, the macro logic was changed to reflect these differences; i.e., macros for containment spray injection (CSI), containment spray recirculation (CSR) and for any means of injecting RWST water into the containment (SIANY) were changed.
Also, the macro for recirculation cooling (RECOOL) was changed to explicitly add the dependencies for cold leg injection check valves and break location to the recirculation cooling macro. For convenience, the four release category groups are defined in Table A.4.4-1.
Table A.4.4-1 Definition of Release Category Groups Release Category Group description GROUP Total CDF PDS Early large containment failure: before or at vessel breach (CP=F), early H2 burn RELI Early small containment failure: before or at vessel breach, early H2 burn RELII Late: overpressure, burn, or large late failure RELIII No release, intact containment RELIV Page 91 of 256

South Texas Project Risk-Informed GSI-191 Evaluation Volume 2: Probabilistic Risk Analysis RI-GS1191-V02 Revision I Appendix B. RISKMAN Modeling Changes for Medium and Large LOCA Event Trees B.1 Introduction For the GSI-1 91 project, the STPREV7.1 RISKMAN model was changed to reflect the GSI-1 91 sequence model changes and to incorporate the associated phenomena. The changes to the frontline event tree structures and top events are presented in Appendix A, i.e., for event trees MLOCA and LTMLOCA. This appendix presents the split fraction rules, macros, and binning logic for the event trees that have changed for this project. Further, the master frequency file used for the GSI-191 quantification, both for the revised base case and for the quantification with GSI-191 phenomena included is also provided; i.e., the same master frequency file is used for both quantifications, but the ones representing GSI-191 phenomena are not used in the base case quantification.
B.2 Event Tree Rule Changes As described in Appendix A, a single set of linked event trees is used to quantify both the medium LOCA and large LOCA initiating events. The event tree names linked are the same as for the medium LOCA initiating event in model STPREV7.1. This linked set is as follows:
SEISET PMET OFFGRID EPONSITE MECHSUP MLOCA LTMLOCA PDSML CET (for Level 2 release categories only)
The only event trees in this linked set that required split fraction rule changes are for MLOCA (Table B.2-1) and LTMLOCA (Table B.2-2). The event trees that required macro logic changes are: PMET (Table B.2-3), EPONSITE (Table B.2-4), MLOCA (Table B.2-5), and PDSML (Table B.2-6). Only event tree PDSML required bin assignment rule changes (Table B.2-7) because it is at the end of the linked event trees for the Level 1 quantification. No changes were made to the Level 2 binning rules. The full set of event tree rules is presented in each table with the changed rules shown in red. The bin assignment rules shown in Table B.2-7 were reordered depending on the analysis outcomes being evaluated. Recall that the first binning rule satisfied when evaluating top to bottom is assigned to a given sequence.
