Hatch June 2014 HCVS Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan Introduction In 1989, the NRC issued Generic Letter 89-16, Installation of a Hardened Wetwell Vent, to all licensees of BWRs with Mark I containments to encourage licensees to voluntarily install a hardened wetwell vent.

In response, licensees installed a hardened vent pipe from the wetwell to some point outside the secondary containment envelope (usually outside the reactor building). Some licensees also installed a hardened vent branch line from the drywell.

On March 19, 2013, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Commissioners directed the staff per Staff Requirements Memorandum (SRM) for SECY 0157 to require licensees with Mark I and Mark II containments to "upgrade or replace the reliable hardened vents required by Order EA-12-050 with a containment venting system designed and installed to remain functional during severe accident conditions." In response, the NRC issued Order EA-13-109, Issuance of Order to Modifying Licenses with Regard to Reliable Hardened Containment Vents Capable of Operation Under Severe Accidents, June 6, 2013. The Order (EA-13-109) requires that licensees of BWR facilities with Mark I and Mark II containment designs ensure that these facilities have a reliable hardened vent to remove decay heat from the containment, and maintain control of containment pressure within acceptable limits following events that result in the loss of active containment heat removal capability while maintaining the capability to operate under severe accident conditions resulting from an Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP).

The Order requirements are applied in a phased approach where:

Phase 1 involves upgrading the venting capabilities from the containment wetwell to provide reliable, severe accident capable hardened vents to assist in preventing core damage and, if necessary, to provide venting capability during severe accident conditions. (Completed no later than startup from the second refueling outage that begins after June 30, 2014, or June 30, 2018, whichever comes first.)

Phase 2 involves providing additional protections for severe accident conditions through installation of a reliable, severe accident capable drywell vent system or the development of a reliable containment venting strategy that makes it unlikely that a licensee would need to vent from the containment drywell during severe accident conditions. (Completed no later than startup from the first refueling outage that begins after June 30, 2017, or June 30, 2019, whichever comes first.)

The NRC provided an acceptable approach for complying with Order EA-13-109 through Interim Staff Guidance (JLD-ISG-2013-02) issued in November 2013. The ISG endorses the compliance approach presented in NEI 13-02 Revision 0, Compliance with Order EA-13-109, Severe Accident Reliable Hardened Containment Vents, with clarifications. Except in those cases in which a licensee proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with Order EA-13-109, the NRC staff will use the methods described in this ISG (NEI 13-02) to evaluate licensee compliance as presented in submittals required in Order EA-13-109.

The Order also requires submittal of an overall integrated plan which will provide a description of how the requirements of the Order will be achieved. This document provides the Overall Integrated Plan (OIP) for complying with Order EA-13-109 using the methods described in NEI 13-02 and endorsed by NRC JLD-ISG-2013-02. Six month progress reports will be provided consistent with the requirements of Order EA-13-109.

Hatch June 2014 HCVS Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan The Plant venting actions for the EA-13-109 severe accident capable venting scenario can be summarized by the following:

The HCVS will be initiated via manual action from the Main Control Room or Remote Operating Station at the appropriate time based on procedural guidance in response to the Plant observed or derived symptoms.

The vent will utilize Containment Parameters of Pressure, Level and Temperature from the MCR instrumentation to monitor effectiveness of the venting actions The vent operation will be monitored by HCVS valve position, temperature, pressure and effluent radiation levels.

The motive force will be monitored and have the capacity to operate 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> with installed equipment. Replenishment of the motive force will be by use of portable equipment once the installed motive force is exhausted.

Venting actions will be capable of being maintained for a sustained period of up to 7 days.

Hatch June 2014 HCVS Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan Part 1: General Integrated Plan Elements and Assumptions Extent to which the guidance, JLD-ISG-2013-02 and NEI 13-02, are being followed. Identify any deviations.

Include a description of any alternatives to the guidance. A technical justification and basis for the alternative needs to be provided. This will likely require a pre-meeting with the NRC to review the alternative.

Ref: JLD-ISG-2013-02 Compliance will be attained for E.I. Hatch Units 1&2 (Plant Hatch) with no known deviations to the guidelines in JLD-ISG-2013-02 and NEI 13-02 for each phase as follows:

Phase 1 (wetwell): by the startup from the second refueling outage that begins after June 30, 2014, or June 30, 2018, whichever comes first. Currently scheduled for 1st Quarter 2017 (Unit 2), 1st Quarter 2018 (Unit 1)

Phase 2: Later If deviations are identified at a later date, then the deviations will be communicated in a future 6 month update following identification.

State Applicable Extreme External Hazard from NEI 12-06, Section 4.0-9.0 List resultant determination of screened in hazards from the EA-12-049 Compliance.

Ref: NEI 13-02 Section 5.2.3 and D.1.2 The following extreme external hazards screen in for Plant Hatch Seismic, External Flooding, Extreme Cold - Ice Only, High Wind, Extreme High Temperature The following extreme external hazards screen out for Plant Hatch External Flooding, Extreme Cold except for Ice Key Site assumptions to implement NEI 13-02 strategies.

Provide key assumptions associated with implementation of HCVS Phase 1Strategies Ref: NEI 13-02 Section 1 Mark I/II Generic HCVS Related Assumptions:

Applicable EA-12-049 assumptions:

049-1. At Time=0 the event is initiated and all rods insert and no other event beyond a common site ELAP is occurring at any or all of the units.

049-2. At 48 minutes (time critical at a time greater than 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />) an ELAP is declared and actions begin as defined in EA-12-049 compliance 049-3. Deployment resources are assumed to begin arriving at hour 6 and fully staffed by 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> 049-4. DC power and distribution can be credited for the duration determined per the EA-12-049 (FLEX) methodology for battery usage, (greater than 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> with a calculation limiting value of 14.5 hrs.)

Page 4 of 42 revision H-A3 2/18/14

Hatch June 2014 HCVS Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan Part 1: General Integrated Plan Elements and Assumptions 049-5. All activities associated with EA-12-049 (FLEX) that are not specific to implementation of the HCVS (i.e., HCVS valves, instruments and motive force) can be credited as having been accomplished.

Applicable EA-13-109 generic assumptions:

109-1. Site response activities associated with EA-13-109 actions are considered to have no limitations up to the time that the RPV level is below 2/3 core height (core damage is imminent) when access becomes restricted. For actions that take place after the core is uncovered, evaluations will only be required for elevations above the water level in the RPV.

109-2. Qualified and appropriately located portable equipment can supplement the installed equipment after 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. An example is recharging HCVS components after 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> with Severe Accident (SA) Capable actions, where SA Capable is defined as requiring an evaluation for SA conditions.

109-3. Recharging from FLEX only actions cannot be credited for SA HCVS functions, where FLEX only is defined as having no additional evaluations beyond compliance with order EA-12-049.

109-4. SFP Level is maintained above EA-12-051 Level 2 with either on-site or off-site resources such that the SFP does not contribute to the analyzed source term 109-5. Existing containment components design and testing values are governed by existing plant containment criteria (e.g., Appendix J) and are not subject to the testing criteria from NEI 13-02 (reference FAQ HCVS-05).

109-6. Operation of the HCVS is not bounded by the Technical Specifications because of the nature of the order criteria of assuming an ELAP and progression to a severe accident with ex-vessel core debris. Therefore, the design and implementation of the HCVS does not create an un-reviewed safety question (change).

109-7. Typical ELAP operator actions, a limited number of quickly and easily performed actions (e.g., load stripping, control switch manipulation, valving-in nitrogen bottles) are acceptable to obtain HCVS venting dedicated functionality. HCVS dedicated equipment is defined as vent process elements that are required for the HCVS to function in an ELAP event that progresses to core melt ex-vessel. (reference FAQ HCVS-02) 109-8. Use of MAAP Version 4 or higher provides adequate assurance of the plant conditions (e.g., RPV water level, temperatures, etc.) assumed for Order EA-13-109 BDBEE and SA HCVS operation. Additional analysis using RELAP5/MOD 3, GOTHIC, PCFLUD, LOCADOSE and SHIELD-etc. are acceptable methods for evaluating environmental conditions in other portions of the plant.

109-9. Utilization of NRC Published Accident evaluations (e.g. SOARCA, SECY-12-0157, NUREG 1465) as related to Order EA-13-109 conditions are acceptable as references.

109-10. Permanent modifications installed per EA-12-049 are assumed implemented and may be credited for use in EA-13-109 Order response.

109-11. This Overall Integrated Plan is based on Emergency Operating Procedure Changes consistent with EPG/SAGs Revision 3 as incorporated per the sites EOP/SAMG procedure change process.

Hatch June 2014 HCVS Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan Part 1: General Integrated Plan Elements and Assumptions 109-12. Control room is adequately protected from excessive radiation dose as per General Design Criterion (GDC) 19 in 10CFR50 Appendix A.

Plant Specific HCVS Related Assumptions/Characteristics:

HNP-1. The main stack at Plant Hatch can handle the HCVS flow from both units simultaneously.

Once outside the reactor building, effluent lines slope downward toward main stack.

HNP-2. All load stripping is accomplished within one hour and fifteen minutes of event initiation and will occur below the core area at locations not impacted by a radiological event.

HNP-3. The rupture disk will be manually breached within 7.3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> of event initiation Page 6 of 42 revision H-A3 2/18/14

Hatch June 2014 HCVS Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan Part 2: Boundary Conditions for WW Vent Provide a sequence of events and identify any time or environmental constraint required for success including the basis for the constraint.

HCVS Actions that have a time constraint to be successful should be identified with a technical basis and a justification provided that the time can reasonably be met (for example, action to open vent valves).

HCVS Actions that have an environmental constraint (e.g. actions in areas of High Thermal stress or High Dose areas) should be evaluated per guidance.

Describe in detail in this section the technical basis for the constraints identified on the sequence of events timeline Attachment.

See attached sequence of events timeline (Attachment 2)

Ref: EA-13-109 Section 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3 / NEI 13-02 Section 4.2.1/6.1 The operation of the HCVS will be designed to minimize the reliance on operator actions in response to hazards listed in Part 1. Immediate operator actions will be completed by trained plant personnel and will include the capability for remote-manual initiation from the HCVS control station. A list of the remote manual actions performed by plant personnel to open the HCVS vent path can be found in the following table (2-1). A HCVS Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP) Failure Evaluation table, which shows alternate actions that can be performed, is included in Attachment 4.

Operator action constraints timeline for time or environmental constraints is determined based on the following sequences:

1. Sequence 1 is a FLEX run with Venting in a BDBEE without core damage.
2. Sequence 2 is based on SOARCA results for a prolonged SBO (ELAP) with the loss of RCIC case without black start.
3. Sequence 3 is based on SECY-12-0157 a SBO (ELAP) with failure of RCIC after a black start where failure is occurs because of subjectively assuming over injection.

Discussion of time constraints identified in Attachment 2 7.3 Hours, Initiate use of Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) per site procedures to maintain containment parameters below design limits and within the limits that allow continued use of RCIC - The reliable operation of HCVS will be met because HCVS meets the seismic requirements identified in NEI 13-02 and will be powered by DC buses with motive force supplied to HCVS valves from installed accumulators and portable nitrogen storage bottles.

Critical HCVS controls and instruments associated with containment will be DC powered and operated from the MCR or a Remote Operating Station on each unit. The DC power for HCVS will be available as long as the HCVS is required. Station batteries will provide power for greater than 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />, HCVS battery capacity will be available to extend past 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. In addition, when available Phase 2 FLEX Diesel Generator (DG) can provide power before battery life is exhausted. Thus initiation of the HCVS from the MCR or the Remote Operating Station within 7.3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> is acceptable because the actions can be performed any time after declaration of an ELAP until the venting is needed at 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> for BDBEE venting. This action can also be performed for SA HCVS operation which occur at a time further removed from an ELAP declaration as shown in Attachment 2.

At 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />, based on battery depletion, power supply will be swapped from station batteries to dedicated HCVS batteries to ensure power to the inverters.

Hatch June 2014 HCVS Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan Part 2: Boundary Conditions for WW Vent Components including instrumentation that are not required to be seismically designed by the design basis of the plant should be designed for reliable and rugged performance that is capable of ensuring HCVS functionality following a seismic event. (reference ISG-JLD-2012-01 and ISG-JLD-2012-03 for seismic details.)

The components including instrumentation external to a seismic category 1 (or equivalent building or enclosure should be designed to meet the external hazards that screen in for the plant as defined in guidance NEI 12-06 as endorsed by JLD-ISG-12-01 for Order EA-12-049.

Use of instruments and supporting components with known operating principles that are supplied by manufacturers with commercial quality assurance programs, such as ISO9001. The procurement specifications shall include the seismic requirements and/or instrument design requirements, and specify the need for commercial design standards and testing under seismic loadings consistent with design basis values at the instrument locations.

Demonstration of the seismic reliability of the instrumentation through methods that predict performance by analysis, qualification testing under simulated seismic conditions, a combination of testing and analysis, or the use of experience data. Guidance for these is based on sections 7, 8, 9, and 10 of IEEE Standard 344-2004, IEEE Recommended Practice for Seismic Qualification of Class 1E Equipment for Nuclear Power Generating Stations, or a substantially similar industrial standard could be used.

Demonstration that the instrumentation is substantially similar in design to instrumentation that has been previously tested to seismic loading levels in accordance with the plant design basis at the location where the instrument is to be installed (g-levels and frequency ranges). Such testing and analysis should be similar to that performed for the plant licensing basis.

Vent Size and Basis The HCVS wetwell path is designed for venting steam/energy at a nominal capacity of 1% of 2804 MWt thermal power at pressure of 56 psig. This pressure is the lower of the containment design pressure (56 psig) and the PCPL value (62 psig). The size of the wetwell portion of the HCVS is 18 inches in diameter which provides adequate capacity to meet or exceed the Order criteria.

Vent Capacity The greater than 1% capacity at Plant Hatch assumes that the suppression pool pressure suppression capacity is sufficient to absorb the decay heat generated during the first 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br />. The vent would then be able to prevent containment pressure from increasing above the containment design pressure. As part of the detailed design, the duration of suppression pool decay heat absorption capability will be confirmed.

[Open Item-1: Confirm suppression pool heat capacity]

Vent Path and Discharge Existing HCVS vent path at Hatch consists of a wetwell and drywell vent on each unit. The drywell vent exits the Primary Containment into the Reactor Building and proceeds down to the torus bay.

Wetwell and drywell vent piping merges into a common header in the torus bay. Vent path for both wetwell and drywell exits the reactor building through an underground pipe. This pipe travels approximately 500 feet from both units and combines in a mixing chamber at the base of the main stack. All effluents exit out the main stack.

The HCVS discharge path uses the main stack.

Hatch June 2014 HCVS Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan Part 2: Boundary Conditions for WW Vent Power and Pneumatic Supply Sources All electrical power required for operation of HCVS components will be routed through two Inverters, one for each electrical division. These inverters will be sized at 7.5 kW each and will convert DC power from installed batteries into AC power for the end users (instruments, solenoid valves, etc.).

Battery power will be provided by the existing station service batteries for the first 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> following the ELAP event. At about 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />, power will be transferred to dedicated batteries that will supply power for an additional 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. At 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, power will transfer back to the station batteries, at which time it is expected that FLEX generators will be in service to recharge station batteries.

Pneumatic power is normally provided by the non-interruptible air system with backup nitrogen provided from installed nitrogen supply tanks. Following an ELAP event, station air system is lost, and normal backup from installed nitrogen supply tanks is isolated. Therefore, for the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, pneumatic force will be supplied from newly installed air accumulator tanks. These tanks will supply the required motive force to those HCVS valves needed to maintain flow through the HCVS effluent piping.

1. The HCVS flow path valves are air-operated valves (AOV) with air-to-open and spring-to-shut.

Opening the valves requires energizing an AC powered solenoid operated valve (SOV) and providing motive air/gas. The detailed design will provide a permanently installed power source and motive air/gas supply adequate for the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. Beyond the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, FLEX generators will be used to maintain battery power to the HCVS components. The initial stored motive air/gas will allow for a minimum of thirteen valve operating cycles for the HCVS valve for the first 24-hours.

2. An assessment of temperature and radiological conditions will be performed to ensure operating personnel can safely access and operate controls at the ROS based on time constraints listed in Attachment 2.
3. All permanently installed HCVS equipment, including any connections required to supplement the HCVS operation during an ELAP (electric power, N2/air) will be located in areas reasonably protected from the hazards listed in Part 1 of this report.
4. All valves required to open the flow path will be designed for remote manual operation following an ELAP, such that the primary means of valve manipulation does not rely on use of a hand wheel, reach-rod, or similar means requiring close proximity to the valve (reference FAQ HCVS-03). Any supplemental connections will be pre-engineered to minimize man-power resources and address environmental concerns. Required portable equipment will be reasonably protected from screened in hazards listed in Part 1 of this OIP.
5. Following the initial 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> period, additional motive force will be supplied from nitrogen bottles that will be staged at a gas cylinder rack located (near the ROS in the control building or outside) such that radiological impacts are not an issue. Additional bottles can be brought in as needed.
6. Access to the locations described above will not require temporary ladders or scaffolding.

Hatch June 2014 HCVS Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan Part 2: Boundary Conditions for WW Vent Location of Control Panels The HCVS design allows for initiation, operation, and monitoring of the HCVS from the Main Control Room (MCR) or the Remote Operating Station (ROS). The MCR location is protected from adverse natural phenomena and is the normal control point for HCVS operation and Plant Emergency Response actions.

The final location of the ROS is still under evaluation and is identified as an Open Item at this time.

Hydrogen As is required by EA-13-109, Section 1.2.11, the HCVS must be designed such that it is able to either provide assurance that oxygen cannot enter and mix with flammable gas in the HCVS (so as to form a combustible gas mixture), or it must be able to accommodate the dynamic loading resulting from a combustible gas detonation. Several configurations are available which will support the former (e.g.,

purge, mechanical isolation from outside air, etc.) or the latter (design of potentially affected portions of the system to withstand a detonation relative to pipe stress and support structures).

[OPEN ITEM- 2: State which approach or combination of approaches the plant decides to take to address the control of flammable gases, clearly demarcating the segments of vent system to which an approach applies.]

Unintended Cross Flow of Vented Fluids The HCVS uses the Primary Containment Isolation System (PCIS) containment isolation valves for containment isolation. These containment isolation valves are AOVs and they are air-to-open and spring-to-shut. An SOV must be energized to allow the motive air to open the valve. Although these valves are shared between the PCIS and the HCVS, separate control circuits are provided to each valve for each function. Specifically:

1. The PCIS control circuit will be used during all design basis operating modes including all design basis transients and accidents.
2. The potential for cross flow exists between the HCVS and the Standby Gas Treatment System (SGTS). Resolution involves evaluation of SGTS isolation valve leakage for both inlet and outlet valves, as both interface with the HCVS. If necessary, these valves will be replaced with leak-tight valves. Testing and maintenance will be performed to ensure that the valves remain leak-tight.
3. An additional cross-flow avenue exists between the HCVS of the two units and other connected systems at the mixing chamber in the shared Main Stack. With the Main Stack being open to the atmosphere, there is no motive force to push effluent from the mixing chamber back to the plant, thus it is assumed this avenue of cross flow is not a reasonable assumption.

EOP/ERG operating procedures provide clear guidance that the HCVS is not to be used to defeat containment integrity during any design basis transients and accident. In addition, the HCVS will be designed to provide features to prevent inadvertent actuation due to a design error, equipment malfunction, or operator error such that any credited containment accident pressure (CAP) that would provide net positive suction head to the emergency core cooling system (ECCS) pumps will be Page 14 of 42 revision H-A3 2/18/14

Hatch June 2014 HCVS Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan Part 2: Boundary Conditions for WW Vent available (inclusive of a design basis loss-of-coolant accident (DBLOCA)). However the ECCS pumps will not have normal power available because of the starting boundary conditions of an ELAP.

The features that prevent inadvertent actuation at all times are two PCIVs in series powered from different division, a rupture disk and key lock switches. Procedures also provide clear guidance to not circumvent containment integrity by simultaneously opening torus and drywell vent valves during any design basis transient or accident. In addition, the HCVS will be designed to provide features to prevent inadvertent actuation due to a design error, equipment malfunction, or operator error.

Component Qualifications The HCVS components downstream of the second containment isolation valve and components that interface with the HCVS are routed in seismically qualified structures. For those components, the structure will be analyzed for seismic ruggedness to ensure that any potential failure would not adversely impact the function of the HCVS or other safety related structures or components. HCVS components that directly interface with the pressure boundary will be considered safety related, as the existing system is safety related. Likewise, any electrical or controls component which interfaces with Class 1E power sources will be considered safety related, as their failure could adversely impact containment isolation and/or a safety-related power source. The remaining components will be considered Augmented Quality. The containment system limits the leakage or release of radioactive materials to the environment to prevent offsite exposures from exceeding the guidelines of 10CFR100. During normal or design basis operations, this means serving as a pressure boundary to prevent release of radioactive material.

Likewise, any electrical or controls component which interfaces with Class 1E power sources will be considered safety related, as their failure could adversely impact containment isolation and/or a safety-related power source. The remaining components will be considered Augmented Quality.

Newly installed piping and valves will be seismically qualified to handle the forces associated with the seismic margin earthquake (SME) back to their isolation boundaries. Electrical and controls components will be seismically qualified and will include the ability to handle harsh environmental conditions (although they will not be considered part of the site Environmental Qualification (EQ) program).

Monitoring of HCVS The Plant Hatch wetwell HCVS will be capable of being manually operated during sustained operations from a control panel located in the main control room (MCR) and will meet the requirements of Order element 1.2.4. The MCR is a readily accessible location with no further evaluation required. Control Room dose associated with HCVS operation conforms to GDC 19/Alternate Source Term (AST). Additionally, to meet the intent for a secondary control location of section 1.2.5 of the Order, a readily accessible Remote Operating Station (ROS) will also be incorporated into the HCVS design as described in NEI 13-02 section 4.2.2.1.2.1. The controls and indications at the ROS location will be accessible and functional under a range of plant conditions, including severe accident conditions with due consideration to source term and dose impact on operator exposure, extended loss of AC power (ELAP), and inadequate containment cooling. An evaluation will be performed to determine accessibility to the location, habitability, staffing sufficiency, and communication capability with Vent-use decision makers.

Hatch June 2014 HCVS Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan Part 2: Boundary Conditions for WW Vent The wetwell HCVS will include means to monitor the status of the vent system in both the MCR and the ROS. Included in the current design of the reliable hardened vent (RHV) are control switches in the MCR with valve position indication. The existing RHV controls currently meet the environmental and seismic requirements of the Order for the plant severe accident and will be upgraded to address ELAP. Control and indication of the wetwell HCVS valves will be duplicated at the ROS. The ability to open/close these valves multiple times during the events first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> will be provided by two air accumulator tanks and station service batteries, supplemented by installed backup battery power sources. Beyond the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, the ability to maintain these valves open or closed will be provided with replaceable nitrogen bottles and FLEX generators.

The wetwell HCVS will include indications for vent pipe pressure, temperature, and effluent radiation levels at both the MCR and ROS. Other important information on the status of supporting systems, such as power source status and pneumatic supply pressure, will also be included in the design and located to support HCVS operation. The wetwell HCVS includes existing containment pressure and wetwell level indication in the MCR to monitor vent operation. This monitoring instrumentation provides the indication from the MCR as per Requirement 1.2.4 and will be designed for sustained operation during an ELAP event.

The HCVS instruments, including valve position indication, process instrumentation, radiation monitoring, and support system monitoring, will be qualified by using one of the three methods described in the ISG, which includes:

1. Purchase of instruments and supporting components with known operating principles from manufacturers with commercial quality assurance programs (e.g., ISO9001) where the procurement specifications include the applicable seismic requirements, design requirements, and applicable testing.
2. Demonstration of seismic reliability via methods that predict performance described in IEEE 344-2004
3. Demonstration that instrumentation is substantially similar to the design of instrumentation previously qualified.

Hatch June 2014 HCVS Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan Part 2: Boundary Conditions for WW Vent Component reliable and rugged performance The HCVS downstream of the second containment isolation valve, including piping and supports, electrical power supply, valve actuator pneumatic supply, and instrumentation (local and remote) components, will be designed/analyzed to conform to requirements consistent with the applicable design codes (e.g., Non-safety, Cat 1, SS and 300# ASME or B31.1, NEMA 4, etc.) for the plant and to ensure functionality following a design basis earthquake.

A torus hardened vent (THV) system was originally installed to satisfy the requirements of Generic Letter 89-16. The modifications associated with the THV vent were performed under the provisions of 10CFR50.59 and thus the Plant Hatch THV was designed, analyzed, and implemented consistent with the design basis of the plant. The current design will be evaluated to confirm that the existing system, coupled with current and planned modifications to upgrade the THV to a hardened containment vent system (HCVS), will meet the requirements of Order EA-13-109 and remain functional following a severe accident.

Additional modifications required to meet the Order will be reliably functional at the temperature, pressure, and radiation levels consistent with the vent pipe conditions for sustained operations. The instrumentation/power supplies/cables/connections (components) will be qualified for temperature, pressure, radiation level, total integrated dose radiation for the Effluent Vent Pipe and HCVS ROS Location.

Conduit design will be installed to Seismic Class 1 criteria. Both existing and new barriers will be used to provide a level of protection from missiles when equipment is located outside of seismically qualified structures. Augmented quality requirements, will be applied to the components installed in response to this Order.

In addition to these design requirements, providing sufficient channel separation (by distance and/or protective barriers) will minimize the likelihood of a common cause event which adversely affects both divisions of the containment isolation valves when the control for these valves are provided on the ROS. Separation will be in accordance with Plant Hatch electrical design criteria, RG 1.75 and IEEE 384.

If the instruments are purchased as commercial-grade equipment, they will be qualified to operate under severe accident environment as required by NRC Order EA-13-109 and the guidance of NEI 13-02. The equipment will be qualified seismically (IEEE 344), environmentally (IEEE 323), and EMC (per RG 1.180). These qualifications will be bounding conditions for Plant Hatch. The qualification for the equipment by the supplier will be validated by SNC for the specific location at Plant Hatch to ensure that the bounding conditions envelope the specific plant conditions.

For the instruments required after a potential seismic event, the following measures will be used to verify that the design and installation is reliable / rugged and thus capable of ensuring HCVS functionality following a seismic event. Applicable instruments are rated by the manufacturer (or otherwise tested) for seismic impact at levels commensurate with those of postulated severe accident event conditions in the area of instrument component use using one or more of the following methods:

demonstration of seismic motion will be consistent with that of existing design basis loads at Page 17 of 42 revision H-A3 2/18/14

Hatch June 2014 HCVS Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan Part 2 Boundary Conditions for WW Vent: BDBEE Venting Determine venting capability for BDBEE Venting, such as may be used in a ELAP scenario to mitigate core damage.

Ref: EA-13-109 Section X.X.X / NEI 13-02 Section X.X.x First 24 Hour Coping Detail Provide a general description of the venting actions for first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> using installed equipment including station modifications that are proposed.

Ref: EA-13-109 Section X.X.X / NEI 13-02 Section X.X.x The operation of the HCVS will be designed to minimize reliance on operator actions for response to an ELAP and severe accident events. Immediate operator actions will be completed by Reactor Operators from either the Main Control Room (MCR) or the HCVS Remote Operating Station (ROS) and will include remote-manual actions from a local gas cylinder station. The operator actions required to open a vent path are as described in table 2-1. Remote-manual is defined in this report as a non-automatic power operation of a component and does not require the operator to be at or in close proximity to the component. No other operator actions are required to initiate venting under primary procedural protocol.

The HCVS will be designed to allow initiation, control, and monitoring of venting from the MCR and will be able to be operated from an installed ROS as part of the response to this Order. Both locations minimize plant operators exposure to adverse temperature and radiological conditions and are protected from hazards assumed in Part 1 of this report.

Permanently installed electrical power and motive air/gas capability will be available to support operation and monitoring of the HCVS for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. Power will be provided by installed batteries for up to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> before FLEX generators will be required to be functional.

System control:

i. Active: PCIVs are operated in accordance with EOPs/SOPs to control containment pressure. The HCVS is designed for a minimum of 13 open/close cycles of the vent valve under ELAP conditions over the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> following an ELAP. Controlled venting will be permitted in the revised EPGs. As noted in Table 2-1 jumpers will be used to override the containment isolation circuit on the PCIVs needed to vent containment.

ii. Passive: Inadvertent actuation protection is provided by the current containment isolation circuitry associated with the PCIVs used to operate the HCVS. In addition, the HCVS isolation valve is normally key-locked closed and has a rupture disc located downstream. This rupture disc has a burst set pressure above the maximum inlet header pressure expected during a design basis event. Breach of the rupture disk will occur outside of the MCR and will require manual operation of two valves, one of which is normally locked closed.

Hatch June 2014 HCVS Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan Part 2 Boundary Conditions for WW Vent: Severe Accident Venting Determine venting capability for Severe Accident Venting, such as may be used in a ELAP scenario to mitigate core damage.

Ref: EA-13-109 Section X.X.X / NEI 13-02 Section X.X.x First 24 Hour Coping Detail Provide a general description of the venting actions for first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> using installed equipment including station modifications that are proposed.

Ref: EA-13-109 Section X.X.X / NEI 13-02 Section X.X.x The operation of the HCVS will be designed to minimize the reliance on operator actions for response to an ELAP and severe accident events. Severe accident event assumes that the FLEX strategies identified in the response to Order EA-12-049 have not worked. Venting will occur without the need for manually breaching the rupture disk, since conditions in the drywell would be sufficient to burst the rupture disk without assistance from operators. Access to the reactor building will be severely restricted. Immediate operator actions will be completed by Reactor Operators from Main Control Room (MCR) or the HCVS Remote Operating Station (ROS) and will include remote-manual actions from a local gas cylinder station. The operator actions required to open a vent path were previously listed in the Part 2 section of this report under BDBEE Venting.

The HCVS has been designed to allow initiation, control, and monitoring of venting from the MCR and will be capable of operation from an ROS to be installed as part of the response to this Order.

i. Active: PCIVs are operated in accordance with EOPs to control containment pressure. The HCVS is designed for a minimum of 13 open/close cycles of the isolation valve under ELAP conditions over the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> following an ELAP. Controlled venting will be permitted in the revised EPGs. Jumpers will be used to override the containment isolation circuit on the PCIVs needed to vent containment.

ii. Passive: Inadvertent actuation protection is provided by the current containment isolation circuitry associated with the PCIVs used to operate the HCVS. In addition, the HCVS isolation valve is normally key-locked closed and has a rupture disc located downstream. This rupture disc has a burst set pressure above the maximum inlet header pressure expected during a design basis event. Breach of the rupture disk will occur outside of the MCR and will require manual operation of two valves, one of which is normally locked closed.

Site procedures and programs are being developed in accordance with NEI 13-02 to address use and storage of portable equipment relative to the Severe Accident defined in NRC Order EA-13-109 and the hazards applicable to the site per Part 1 of this OIP.

Routes for transporting portable equipment from storage location(s) to deployment areas will be developed as the response details are identified and finalized. The identified paths and deployment areas will be accessible during all modes of operation and during Severe Accidents.

Procedures:

Procedures will be established for system operations when normal and backup power is available, and during ELAP conditions.

Plant Hatch will utilize the industry developed guidance from the Owners Groups, EPRI, and NEI Task team to develop/enhance site specific procedures or guidelines to address the criteria in NEI 13-02. These procedures and/or guidelines will support existing symptom based command and control strategies in the current EOPs and will contain the following details:

appropriate conditions and criteria for use of the HCVS when and how to place the HCVS in operation, the location of system components, instrumentation available, normal and backup power supplies, directions for sustained operation (reference NEI 13-02), including the storage and location of portable equipment, location of the remote control HCVS operating station (panel) training on operating the portable equipment, and testing of portable equipment Provisions will be established for out-of-service requirements of the HCVS and compensatory measures that comply with the criteria from NEI 13-02.

Licensees will establish provisions for out-of-service requirements of the HCVS and compensatory measures. The following provisions will be documented in the {Site Specific control document}:

The provisions for out-of-service requirements for HCVS are applicable in Modes 1, 2 and 3.

If for up to 90 consecutive days, the primary or alternate means of HCVS operation are non-functional, no compensatory actions are necessary.

If for up to 30 days, the primary and alternate means of HCVS operation are non-functional, Page 29 of 42 revision H-A3 2/18/14

Hatch June 2014 HCVS Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan Part 4: Programmatic Controls, Training, Drills and Maintenance no compensatory actions are necessary.

If the out of service times exceed 30 or 90 days as described above, the following actions will be performed:

o The condition will entered into the corrective action system, o The HCVS availability will be restored in a manner consistent with plant procedures, o A cause assessment will be performed to prevent future unavailability for similar causes.

o Initiate action to implement appropriate compensatory actions Describe training plan List training plans for affected organizations or describe the plan for training development Ref: EA-13-109 Section X.X.X / NEI 13-02 Section X.X.x Personnel expected to perform direct execution of the HVCS will receive necessary training in the use of plant procedures for system operations when normal and backup power is available and during ELAP conditions. The training will be refreshed on a periodic basis and as any changes occur to the HCVS. Training content and frequency will be established using the Systematic Approach to Training (SAT) process.

In addition, (reference NEI 12-06) all personnel on-site will be available to supplement trained personnel.

Identify how the drills and exercise parameters will be met.

Alignment with NEI 13-06 and 14-01as codified in NTTF Recommendation 8 and 9 rulemaking The Licensee should demonstrate use in drills, tabletops, or exercises for HCVS operation as follows:

Hardened containment vent operation on normal power sources (no ELAP).

During FLEX demonstrations (as required by EA-12-049: Hardened containment vent operation on backup power and from primary or alternate location during conditions of ELAP/loss of UHS with no core damage.

System use is for containment heat removal AND containment pressure control.

HCVS operation on backup power and from primary or alternate location during conditions of ELAP/loss of UHS with core damage. System use is for containment heat removal AND containment pressure control with potential for combustible gases (Demonstration may be in conjunction with SAG change).

Ref: EA-13-109 Section X.X.X / NEI 13-02 Section X.X.x The site will utilize the guidance provided in NEI 13-06 and 14-01 for guidance related to drills, tabletops, or exercises for HCVS operation. In addition, the site will integrate these requirements with compliance to any rulemaking resulting from the NTTF Recommendations 8 and 9.

Describe maintenance plan:

The HCVS maintenance program should ensure that the HCVS equipment reliability is being achieved in a manner similar to that required for FLEX equipment. Standard industry templates (e.g., EPRI) and associated bases may be developed to define specific maintenance and testing.

Page 30 of 42 revision H-A3 2/18/14

Hatch June 2014 HCVS Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan Part 4: Programmatic Controls, Training, Drills and Maintenance o Periodic testing and frequency should be determined based on equipment type and expected use (further details are provided in Section 6 of this document).

o Testing should be done to verify design requirements and/or basis. The basis should be documented and deviations from vendor recommendations and applicable standards should be justified.

o Preventive maintenance should be determined based on equipment type and expected use. The basis should be documented and deviations from vendor recommendations and applicable standards should be justified.

o Existing work control processes may be used to control maintenance and testing.

HCVS permanent installed equipment should be maintained in a manner that is consistent with assuring that it performs its function when required.

o HCVS permanently installed equipment should be subject to maintenance and testing guidance provided to verify proper function.

HCVS non-installed equipment should be stored and maintained in a manner that is consistent with assuring that it does not degrade over long periods of storage and that it is accessible for periodic maintenance and testing.

Ref: EA-13-109 Section X.X.X / NEI 13-02 Section X.X.x The site will utilize the standard EPRI industry PM process (Similar to the Preventive Maintenance Basis Database) for establishing the maintenance calibration and testing actions for HCVS components. The control program will include maintenance guidance, testing procedures and frequencies established based on type of equipment and considerations made within the EPRI guidelines.

Plant Hatch will implement the following operation, testing and inspection requirements for the HCVS to ensure reliable operation of the system.
