Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2- Second Six Month Status Report for the Implementation of FLEX February 28, 2014 4 Changes to Compliance Method Change 1 Section: Multiple Sections Reason for Change: For consistency throughout this project we have chosen to utilize the calculations of the WCAP-17601-P for our reference calculations.

Reason for Change: With engineering review and judgment the values from the WCAP are bounding.

Change 2 Section: General Integrated Plan Elements PWR - Provide a sequence of events and identify any time constraint required for success including the technical basis for the time constraint.

Reason for Change: Modification design details were refined as parts of the standardized modification design process and manual actions have been added and verified to accomplish these tasks.

Change:

1. Added new step to close the 2 S/G PORVs that have battery backup when it is verified that there is no Auxiliary Feedwater. This will conserve S/G inventory and provide symmetric cooling as required in the WCAP-17601-P.
2. Added new step to shed DC Loads as recommended by WCAP-17601-P along with procedure reference 1/2BwFSG-4, ELAP DC Load Shed/Management.
3. Added new step to align the AF pump SX cooling water FLEX supply within two (2) hours of pump start to prevent overheating from the short cycle of the cooling water along with the procedure reference of 1/2BwFSG-2, Alternate AFW/EFW Suction Source.
4. Added new step to deploy all hoses and connections in the FHB for alternate SFP fill and RCS inventory/boration strategies, before the FHB becomes uninhabitable due to SFP boiling. This is expected to occur within six (6) hours of the event initiation and will be governed by procedures OBwFSG-S, Initial Assessment and FLEX Equipment Staging Unit 0, and OBwFSG-11, Alternate SFP Make-Up and Cooling.

Change 3 Section: Maintain Core Cooling & Heat Removal - PWR Installed Equipment Phase 1 and Maintain RCS Inventory Control- PWR Installed Equipment Phase 1.

Reason for Change: Site alignment with Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) position paper dated September 18, 2013, entitled "Position Paper: Shutdown/ Refueling Modes" .

Change: Change last paragraph to the following:

Cold Shutdown and Refueling: When in Cold Shutdown and Refueling, many variables exist, which impact the ability to cool the core. In the event of an ELAP during these Modes, installed plant systems cannot be relied upon to cool the core, thus transition to Phase 2 will be required Page 3 of 28

Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2- Second Six Month Status Report for the Implementation of FLEX February 28, 2014 sooner. All efforts will be made to expeditiously provide core cooling and minimize heat-up and repressurization. Exelon has a program in place (Ref. 3) to determine the time to boil for all conditions during shutdown periods.

To accommodate the activities of vessel disassembly and refueling, water levels in the reactor vessel and the reactor cavity are often changed. The most limiting condition is the case in which the reactor head is removed and water level in the vessel is at or below the reactor vessel flange. If an ELAP/LUHS occurs during this condition then (depending on the time after shutdown) boiling in the core may occur quite rapidly. Deploying and implementation of portable FLEX pumps to supply injection flow must commence immediately from the time of the event.

This should be plausible because more personnel are on site during outages to provide the necessary resources. Strategies for makeup water include deploying a FLEX pump to take suction from the RWST and lor UHS as described in the Phase 2 Core Cooling section.

Guidance will be provided to ensure that sufficient area is available for deployment and that haul paths remain accessible without interference from outage equipment during refueling outages.

Change 4 Section: Maintain Core Cooling & Heat Removal - PWR Installed Equipment Phase 1 - Identify Modifications.

Reason for Change: Modification design details have been refined as parts of the standardized modification design process.

Change: (replace section with the following)

The following gaps have been identified that prevent operation of the DDAF pump:

1. DDAF pump suction flow path is not available due to CST unavailability and failure of the CST isolation valve to close and the SX suction valve to open on loss of AC power.
2. DDAF batteries are drained due to repetitive engine starts with automatic reset of low-low suction pressure trip.
3. DDAF pump overheating due to cooling water recirculation flow paths within SX system cycling and overheating the pump within two (2) hours.

Gap 1 will be resolved with manual operator actions. Operators will be procedurally directed to open the SX suction valves (1/2AF006 and 1/2AF017) and close the CST isolation valves (1/2AF002) prior to starting the DDAF pump.

Gap 2 will be resolved by modifying the DDAF pump logic to lock-out the pump after unsuccessful starting attempts prior to draining the battery. This lockout will be manually reset after the DDAF pump suction is realigned.

Gap 3 will be resolved by modifying the DDAF pump SX cooling water flow path. The modification consists of installing a piping tee on the discharge of both Unit 1 and Unit 2 "B" SX pump discharge lines on the 330' elevation in the AB. These tees will be connected by a header and routed vertically through the AB to the 383' elevation. On the 383' elevation, the line will tee into two lines feeding the 1/2 DDAF pump SX booster pump. This new line will be isolated during normal operation. In the event of an ELAP, this new line will be unisolated and the normal SX cooling supply to the DDAF pump SX booster pump will be isolated.

Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2- Second Six Month Status Report for the Implementation of FLEX February 28, 2014 Change 5 Section: Maintain Core Cooling & Heat Removal - PWR Portable Equipment Phase 1, 2 and 3 -

Key Reactor parameters and Maintain RCS Inventory Control - PWR Portable Equipment Phase 1 , 2 and 3 - Key Reactor parameters.

Reason for Change: FLEX strategy has been refined and draft site FSG procedures have been developed.

Change: RWST level channel LT-931 has been identified as a required instrument for the FLEX strategy.

In addition, Core Exit Thermocouple (CET) temperature TI-IT002, Reactor Vessel Level indicating System (RVLlS) LI-RC020, and Post Accident Neutron monitor NI-NR006 AlB will be re-energized per the site strategy.

Change 6 Section: Maintain Core Cooling & Heat Removal - PWR Portable Equipment Phase 2 - Identify Modifications.

Reason for Change: Modification design details have been refined as parts of the standardized modification design process.

Change: (replace section with the following)

The following modifications will be installed to support FLEX pump water injection into the SGs:

Primary: A pipe flange connection will be attached to the Band C Auxiliary Feedwater (AF) SG injection lines at the existing test flanges within the 377' Main Steam Safety Valve (MSSV) rooms. The pipe flanges will be connected to a header and routed vertically to the 401' elevation in the BIC MSSV room. The header will be terminated with a standard FLEX connection inside the robust MSSV room above the 401' elevation. This will allow a FLEX pump to provide cooling water to the BIC SGs.

Alternate: This modification is identical to the primary except it is within the AID MSSV room. It will allow a FLEX pump to supply cooling water to the AID SGs.

Note: Both the BIC and AID headers in the 377' MSSV rooms will have flanges allowing a temporary hose to connect the headers and allow one FLEX pump to feed all four (4) SGs. This temporary hose will be stored within the robust Main Steam Tunnel for easy deployment.

FLEX pump suction: A tee will be installed on the A SI pump suction line (in the B SI pump room). A header will be routed from the tee to the robust RWST tunnel area and terminated with a standard FLEX connection. Temporary hoses will be routed through the RWST tunnel hatch to connect this line to the FLEX pump suction located outside.

Note: The SG cooling water source is prioritized from cleanest to dirtiest. The priority is the CST (not Robust) and then the UHS (Lake water). The RWST (Boration source) will also be available, if needed, to the FLEX medium pressure diesel pumps until the UHS FLEX pump and hoses are in place.

Page 5 of 28

Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2- Second Six Month Status Report for the Implementation of FLEX February 28, 2014 Additionally, a water filtration unit will be requested from the RRC and installed to provide purification of the UHS water source as staffing permits.

Change 7 Section: Maintain Core Cooling and Heat Removal, - PWR Portable Equipment Phase 2 -

Deployment Conceptual Design - Strategy, Maintain RCS Inventory Control- PWR Portable Equipment Phase 2 - Deployment Conceptual Modifications - Strategy, Maintain Spent Fuel Pool Cooling - PWR Portable Equipment Phase 2 - Deployment Conceptual Design - Strategy, and Safety Function Support - PWR Portable Equipment Phase 2 - Deployment Conceptual Design - Strategy.

Reason for Change: The site storage building will consist of one robust building housing ION" FLEX equipment and a commercial building housing "+1" FLEX equipment. The site strategy will have several strategic temporary hoses and electrical cables staged within robust structures in the plant.

Change: (replace section with the following).

The required FLEX equipment needed for Core Cooling, RCS Inventory Control, Spent Fuel Pool Cooling and Safety Function Support will be stored in a FLEX building and transported to a pre-identified staging location. Hoses and electrical cables to support the site coping strategy will be stored within the FLEX building or staged in the plant. The equipment deployment strategy will be validated and reported in a future six (6) month update.

Change 8 Section: Maintain Core Cooling & Heat Removal - PWR Portable Equipment Phase 3, Maintain RCS Inventory Control- PWR Portable Equipment Phase 3, Maintain Spent Fuel Pool Cooling

- PWR Portable Equipment Phase 3, and Safety Functions Support - PWR Portable Equipment Phase 3.

Reason for Change: Site FLEX strategy has been refined as parts of the standardized modification design process and through detailed reviews.

Change: (replace section with the following)

Phase 3 equipment for Braidwood includes backup portable pumps and generators. The portable pumps will be capable of providing the necessary flow and pressure as outlined in Phase 2 response for Core Cooling & Heat Removal, RCS Inventory Control and Spent Fuel Pool Cooling. The portable generators will be capable of providing the necessary 480 volt power requirements as outlined in Phase 2 response for Safety Functions Support.

In addition, a water purification skid and a boration skid will be requested from the RRC to support Phase 3 strategy.

Page 6 of 28

Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2- Second Six Month Status Report for the Implementation of FLEX February 28, 2014 Change 9 Section: Maintain Core Cooling & Heat Removal- PWR Portable Equipment Phase 3-Strategy, Maintain RCS Inventory Control- PWR Portable Equipment Phase 3 - Strategy, Maintain Spent Fuel Pool Cooling - PWR Portable Equipment Phase 3 - Strategy, and Safety Functions Support - PWR Portable Equipment Phase 3 - Strategy.

Reason for Change: RRC will provide operating instructions for the equipment delivered to the site.

Change: (replace section with the following)

Equipment will be delivered from the RRC to the staging area. From there, the equipment will be transported to the site and hooked up by both RRC and plant personnel per the playbook.

Equipment will then be operated per industry developed operating instructions.

Change 10 Section: Maintain RCS Inventory Control - PWR Portable Equipment Phase 2.

Reason for Change: Draft calculations have been prepared which show the RCS accumulators inject a portion of their concentrated boric acid inventory maintaining the reactor subcritical.

Change: (replace section with the following)

Phase 2 RCS inventory control and boration will be achieved within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> via a portable pump. The pump suction will be from the RWST. The discharge will be into the CV/SI pump discharge line downstream of the CV/SI pump. A calculation is in progress to validate the timeframe and any change to this will be provided in a future six (6) month update.

Electrical power to support the FLEX strategy is described in the Safety Function Support section.

Change 11 Section: Maintain RCS Inventory Control- PWR Portable Equipment Phase 2 - Identify modifications.

Reason for Change: Modification design details have been refined as parts of the standardized modification design process.

Change: (replace section with the following)

The following FLEX modifications will be installed to support inventory and boration of the RCS:

FLEX pump discharge: The B CV pump discharge header, downstream of check valve CV8481 B, will be modified with a tee and a standard FLEX connection (Alternate). The flow path goes through a normally closed MOV SI8801 AlB which can be manually opened or the B train MOV can be electrically opened after the FLEX DG energizes the associated Div 2 ESF Bus.

Page 7 of 28

Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2- Second Six Month Status Report for the Implementation of FLEX February 28, 2014 FLEX pump suction: The B SI pump discharge header, downstream of SI8921 B, will be modified with a tee. A header will be routed from a tee to the RWST tunnel and terminated with a standard FLEX connection (Primary). Deployment of this flow path will be contingent on primary pressure conditions less than 1750 psig due to the SI discharge header relief valves.

FLEX pump Suction: A tee will be installed on the A SI pump suction line (In the B SI pump room). A header will be routed from the tee to the robust RWST tunnel area and terminated with a standard FLEX connection. Temporary hoses will be routed through the RWST tunnel hatch to connect this line to the FLEX pump suction located outside.

Note: The RCS Inventory water source priority is the respective Unit's RWST. A Boration skid will be requested from the RRC to provide a borated make-up source as needed.

Change 12 Section: Maintain Spent Fuel Pool Cooling - PWR Installed Equipment Phase 1 Reason for Change: The spent fuel pool area vent path strategy has been developed.

Change: Delete - Initial Spent fuel pool make-up will be accomplished with gravity drain from the RWST. Procedure development will be documented in a future six (6) month update.

And Replace - Evaluation of the spent fuel pool area for steam and condensation has not yet been performed. The results of this evaluation and the vent path strategy, if needed, will be provided in a future six (6) month update.

With the following: A Spent Fuel Pool Vent path will be provided by opening the Fuel Handling building track way roll-up door. The site does have manual actions within the Fuel Handling building. The actions include setting up SFP make-up temporary hoses and the RCS inventory control alternate injection path hoses. The site plans to perform these manual actions prior to the onset of SFP boiling. The actions will be directed by the FSGs being developed.

The SFP environment has the potential to communicate with the Aux Building via the FHB supply ducting, due to the FHB Supply dampers failing open on a loss of AC. It is reasonable to assume this flow path will be isolated by fire damper OVA413Y. The fire damper will close when its fusible link melts shortly after reaching a set point of 165F. Due to this damper arrangement and lack of motive force, minimal FHB atmosphere should be dispersed into the AB.

Change 13 Section: Maintain Spent Fuel Pool Cooling - PWR Portable Equipment Phase 1, 2 and 3 - Key SFP parameters.

Reason for Change: SFP design has identified the EPNs for the SFP level instrumentation.

Change: Replace SFP Level: (component # TBD) with Spent Fuel pool level: OLl-FC001 Band OLl-FC002B.

Page 8 of 28

Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2- Second Six Month Status Report for the Implementation of FLEX February 28, 2014 Change 14 Section: Maintain Spent Fuel Pool Cooling - PWR Installed Equipment Phase 2.

Reason for Change: The spent fuel pool cooling and area vent path strategy has been developed.

Change: (replace section with the following)

The SFP cooling will be achieved with one of the following methods:

The primary method will be repowering the installed OA refueling water purification pump OFC03PA utilizing the 480V Flex generator connection described in the Safety Functions Support section. The RWST with the installed piping will be used as the suction source. The discharge will use the existing OA refueling water purification pump discharge piping directly to the SFP.

The secondary method will be achieved with a portable FLEX diesel pump and temporary hoses routed to the SFP via the FHB track way. The FLEX pump suction will be the UHS and/or RWST.

A Spent Fuel Pool Vent path will be provided by opening the FHB track way roll-up door. The site does have manual actions within the spent fuel pool building to setup pool make-up temporary hoses and route the RCS inventory alternate connection hoses. The site plans to perform these manual actions prior to the onset of SFP boiling. The actions will be directed by the FSGs being developed.

The SFP environment has the potential to communicate with the Aux Building via the FHB supply ducting, because the FHB Supply dampers fail open on a loss of AC. It is reasonable to assume this flow path will be isolated by fire damper OVA413Y. The fire damper will close when its fusible link melts shortly after reaching a set point of 165F. Due to this damper arrangement and lack of motive force, minimal FHB atmosphere should be dispersed in to the AB.

Change 15 Section: Maintain Spent Fuel Pool Cooling - PWR Portable Equipment Phase 2 - Identify modifications.

Reason for Change: The Spent fuel pool make-up strategy has changed. No modifications will be required for Phase 2 Spent Fuel Pool Cooling.

Change: (replace section with the following)

The primary make-up strategy will use the installed refueling water purification pump OFC03PA and associated piping as directed by OBwFSG-11 , Alternate SFP Make Up and Cooling. The pump will be repowered as part of the site plan to re-energize safety related 480V buses with a FLEX generator. The pump's suction source is the RWST. Its discharge piping provides flow directly to the SFP. Make-up to the RWST can be performed by completing EDMG-1, Extensive Damage Mitigation Guideline, Attachment J.

Page 9 of 28

Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2- Second Six Month Status Report for the Implementation of FLEX February 28, 2014 The alternate make-up strategy will be via temporary hoses routed from a FLEX pump to a spray nozzle located in the vicinity of the SFP. The temporary hose / spray nozzle required to be routed within the FHB will be stored in that building and deployed prior to the onset of SFP boiling.

FHB vent path will be established by opening the FHB track way rollup door.

Change 16 Section: Safety Support Function - PWR Portable Equipment Phase 1,2 and 3 - Key Parameters.

Reason for Change: FLEX strategy has been refined and draft site FSG procedures have been developed.

Change: DC Bus Voltage _EI-DC002, has been identified as a required instrument for the FLEX strategy.

Change 17 Section: Safety Function Support - PWR Portable Equipment Phase 2 Reason for Change: Site FLEX strategy has been refined through industry reviews and site challenges.

Change: (replace section with the following)

A portable diesel generator will provide power to one (1) division of the 480V ESF busses.

Repowering at this level will permit the recovery of one division of station battery chargers, DDAFP battery chargers, MCCs powering critical equipment such as Diesel fuel oil transfer pumps, and other ESF equipment beneficial in mitigating the event.

Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) intends to maintain Operational command and control within the Main Control Room (MCR). Habitability conditions within the MCR and other areas of the plant will be maintained with a tool box approach limiting the impact of high temperatures with methods such as supplemental cooling, personnel rotation and/or availability of fluids.

The fuel handling building habitability should be maintained until the SFP begins to boil. The site does have manual actions within the Fuel Handling Building. The actions include setting up SFP make-up temporary hoses and the RCS inventory control alternate injection path hoses.

The site plans to perform these manual actions prior to the onset of SFP boiling. The actions will be directed by the FSGs being developed.

Critical ventilation assets may be required to support DDAF pumps, the OA refueling water purification pump, the station battery rooms and the miscellaneous electric equipment room component survivability. Specific analyses of these rooms are open items and will be addressed as part of the detailed engineering design phase. Closure of these items will be documented in a future six (6) month update.

Page 10 of 28

Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2- Second Six Month Status Report for the Implementation of FLEX February 28, 2014 Additionally, a backup water source for core cooling, inventory, and SFP make-up will be established with a portable FLEX diesel driven pump and temporary hoses from the UHS. The FLEX pump suction hose will be routed from its deployment location into the UHS. A Dry Hydrant will be installed at the UHS to support testing.

Change 18 Section: Safety Function Support - PWR Portable Equipment Phase 2 -Indentify Modifications Reason for Change: Modification design details have been refined as parts of the standardized modification design process.

Change:

The primary FLEX connection will be installed adjacent to MCC 132X and MCC 232X. An existing spare breaker within these MCCs will be modified such that its load side feed is connected to a new disconnect switch and patch panel. Temporary cables will be routed from the patch panel to the associated Unit's FLEX generator at the 401' TB track way entrance.

Once the MCC is energized, appropriate breakers will be closed to provide power to the safety related batteries.

The Alternate strategy is to provide a connection via the existing Site DC crosstie. In the event either Unit's primary FLEX strategy is unable to be implemented, DC busses 112 and 212 will be crosstied to provide power to the site B train safety related batteries. In addition, the other required 480V critical loads will be powered up via a patch panel and TPU in the Aux building which is powered from either Unit's FLEX DG.

The discharge of the existing diesel fuel oil transfer pumps is being modified with a tee and isolation valve within the B main diesel generator rooms. This connection, along with temporary hoses and reenergizing the diesel fuel oil transfer pumps, will provide a fuel source for the FLEX equipment.

A Dry Hydrant will be installed at the UHS to support testing.

Change 19 Section: PWR Portable Equipment Phase 2.

Reason for Change: Modification design details have been refined as parts of the standardized modification design process.

Change: The three (3) 480 VAC Generators will be 350 KW instead of the listed 500 KW.

Change 20 Section: Phase 3 Response Equipment/Commodities - Heavy Equipment.

Reason for Change: Site strategy details have been refined as a result of strategy reviews.

Change:

Page 11 of 28

Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2- Second Six Month Status Report for the Implementation of FLEX February 28, 2014 The F750 Truck has been purchased with a snow plow for debris removal. The truck will be used initially for debris removal. The F-750 will also be used for equipment deployment and FLEX equipment refueling.

In addition, Braidwood will be acquiring 2 F-250, or equivalent, trucks with snow plows. They will tow the first needed Phase 2 equipment: the Flex DG for each unit.

All three trucks will then be utilized to transport additional equipment as required by the event and the Phase 2 plans.
