On March12,2012,the NuclearRegulatory Commission (NRCor Commission) issued an order(Reference1) to FENOC.Reference1 was immediately effectiveand directs FENOCto develop,implement, andmaintainguidanceandstrategies to maintainor restorecorecooling,containment, andspentfuel poolcoolingcapabilities in the event of a beyond-design-basis externalevent. Specificrequirements are outlinedin Attachment2 of Reference1.

Reference1 requiredsubmission of an initialstatusreport60 daysfollowingissuanceof the finalinterimstaffguidance(Reference 2) andan overallintegrated planpursuantto SectionlV, ConditionC.

5 Need for Relief/Relaxationand Basis for the Relief/Relaxation FENOCintendsto requestrelief/relaxation of the Reference2 requirement for completionof full implementation for BeaverValleyPowerStationUnit No. 1 (BVPS-1) by the springof 2015. As describedin the OlP, some requirements of the mitigation strategiesare dependentupon installation of Westinghouse low leakagereactorcoolant pump(RCP)shutdownseals(SHIELD@ seals). Due to the needto enhancethe design of theseseals,FENOCintendsto requestrelief/relaxation of the requirement for completionof full implementation at BVPS-1untilthe fall of 2016for RCP shutdownseal installation.This wouldallowtwo refuelingoutagesto installall threeenhancedRCP shutdownsealsat BVPS-1.

PotentialInterim Staff Evaluationlmpacts FENOCis currentlyevaluating enhancements to the PNPPFLEXmitigating strategies to be employedfor Phase2 copingduringa postulatedBeyond-Design-Basis External Event(BDBEE),as describedin the PNPPOlP. The supporting plantmodifications requiredto employthesestrategiesare also underevaluation.

L-14-025 Page7 of 8 As of January31,2014,thefollowing strategyenhancements areunderevaluation:

Utilization of 4160VACportablegeneratorsin lieuof the OIP-specified 480VAC units. The 4160VACgenerators,if selected,would be used to power an existing safety-relatedUnit 2 4160VACdistributionbus. Provisionswould be providedfor cross-connecting this Unit2 bus to corresponding Unit 1 4160VACdistribution buses,alongwith Unit2 480VACpoweras describedin the PNPPOlP.

Utilization of an emergencyspentfuel pool inventorymake-upcapabilityin accordancewith the guidanceof NEI 12-06(referenceTableC-3). The abilityto provideinventorymake-upwithoutaccessingthe refuelfloor,utilizinghoses,or portablespray nozzleswill be providedthroughthe use of new plantpiping and/orhose connectionpoints.This approachwouldbe used in lieuof a fixed overheadspraysystemas documentedin the PNPPOlP.

Utilization of Phase2 motor-driven pumpsstorednearthe locationof deployment withinthe emergencyservicewaterpumphouse(ESWPH),which is robustfor all applicablehazards(seismic,flood,wind,missiles).The pumpsestablish suction/discharge via deployablehosesand utilizingwater inventoryavailablevia the seismicallyrobustplantintake/discharge structures.This approachwould be used in lieuof deployablePhase2 pumps(firetrucks)establishing suction/discharge at the PNPPbargeslip.

Utilization of a closedloopcontainmentcoolingstrategyfor rejectionof suppressionpool excessheat via RHR heatexchangersutilizingprocessflow motiveforce providedby existingplant480VACpumps. Coolingwaterwill be providedby existingemergencyservicewater(ESW)systempipingwith cooling water suppliedfrom pumpsstagedin the locationof deploymentin the ESWPH.

The changesdescribedaboveare currentlybeingreviewedinternallyby FENOCto ensurecompliancewith NEI 12-06for the restoration of key safetyfunctions.Once FENOChas conclusively determinedthesestrategychangesto be in the best interest of preservingpublichealthand safetywhilecopingwith beyonddesignbasisevents, FENOCintendsto submita revisedOlP.
