4 Changes to Compliance Method By letter dated February 28, 2013, Serial No.12-161 B, DNC provided an OIP to address Beyond-Design-Basis (BDB) events at MPS2 and MPS3 as required by Order Number EA 049, dated March 12, 2012. The first Six-Month Status Update of the OIP for MPS2 and Millstone Power Station Unit 3 (MPS3) was provided by letter dated August 23, 2013. The following are changes to the compliance method information provided in the MPS2 OIP; which continue to meet NEI 12-06 (Reference 3):
a) Details of the deployment locations and connections have changed for the portable 120/240VAC and the 480VAC diesel generators (DGs) used to re-power the vital bus circuits as described below. However, the electrical re-powering strategy, as described in Section F1.2 - PWR Portable Equipment Phase 2 of the OIP, as modified in the August 2013 Six-Month Status Update, have not changed.
The deployment location of the single 120/240VAC DG shown in OIP Figure 6 has not changed. However, the cable routing and location of the connection receptacles has been revised. The attached revised OIP Figure 7 shows the updated configuration with the cable being routed through the "A" and "B" DC Switchgear rooms and connected to local receptacle boxes near the VA20 and VA40 Distribution Panels.
The deployment location of the 480VAC DG has changed. The attached revised OIP Figure 6 shows the new location in the courtyard east of the MPS2 DC Switchgear rooms.
The attached revised OIP Figure 8 shows that the cable is now routed through the Millstone Power Station Unit 1 Cable Vault to a receptacle box permanently connected to Bus 22F.
b) Details of the deployment locations and connections have changed for the portable 4160VAC Diesel Generators (DGs) used to re-power the vital bus circuits as described below. However, the electrical re-powering strategy, as described in Section F1.3 - PWR Portable Equipment Phase 3 of the original OIP, has not changed for MPS2.
Serial No. 12-161E Docket No. 50-336 Order EA-12-049 Attachment 1 Page 3 of 30 The deployment location and cable routing for the 4160VAC DG have changed and now reflect a simpler tie-in into the 4160 Vital Bus 24D. This new configuration eliminated the need to tie into the non-vital 24A bus as previously presented. (This simplification is reflected in the revised response to Audit Question No. 42 in Attachment 3 to this letter.)
The new tie-in is to a panel in the Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) room. The leads from an existing (and non-operational) "B" EDG connection to Panel C39 will be lifted and the cables from the BDB 4160VAC DG will be connected in their place. The attached revised Figures 6 and 9 reflect the new deployment and cable tie-in locations.
c) The location and type of alternate connection for the BDB Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) pump has changed. The discharge connection will no longer use the steam generator feedwater regulating bypass valves. Instead, the discharge connection will utilize a 2" flanged connection on the Steam Generator (SG) pump down skid. The connection is not seismically designed, but is at a location in the lower level of the Auxiliary Building which is a seismic, flood, and missile protected structure. The attached revised OIP Figure 3 shows this new AFW connection.
d) In response to OIP Open Item No. 10, a strategy has been developed for use of the BDB AFW Pump to provide SG injection in the unlikely event of loss of the TDAFW pump due to hurricane related storm surge flooding of the Turbine Building. Procedure AOP 2560, Storms, High Winds and High Tides, will be revised to pre-deploy one BDB AFW pump in theMPS2 Turbine Building Truck Bay as part of storm preparations. In the event of failure of the TDAFW pump, located in the lower levels of the Turbine Building (Elevation 4 feet 8 inches), the early-deployed BDB AFW Pump will be available without waiting for flood waters to recede in order to obtain a portable pump from the BDB Storage Building. SG level will be controlled using the Auxiliary Feedwater Regulating Valves or the Auxiliary Feedwater Bypass valves. The diesel driven BDB AFW pump exhaust will be directed outdoors.
AOP 2560 provides procedure guidance to shutdown the unit prior to severe hurricane conditions on site. Guidelines will be provided for operations to start the BDB AFW Pump and initiate flow following failure of the TDAFW pump. The BDB AFW pump takes suction from the Condensate Storage Tank (CST) through a connection which is located inside the Turbine Building Truck Bay. With a pre-emptive shutdown occurring 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> before an Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP) event, the CST will supply the SGs for approximately 13.4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> beyond the loss of power. This is adequate time for the worst case storm surge to recede.
e) The calculation to determine the battery life of the Class 1E battery banks for MPS2 has been revised. The resulting re-calculation supports the extension of the Class 1 E battery duty cycle to 29 hours3.356481e-4 days <br />0.00806 hours <br />4.794974e-5 weeks <br />1.10345e-5 months <br /> based on the implementation of load stripping within 45 minutes of the onset of an ELAP event and completion of the load stripping action within 75 minutes of the onset of the ELAP event.
Serial No. 12-161E Docket No. 50-336 Order EA-12-049 Attachment 1 Page 4 of 30 DNC confirms that the Class 1 E battery duty cycle MPS2 was calculated in accordance with the IEEE-485 methodology using manufacturer discharge test data applicable to the licensee's FLEX strategy as outlined in the NEI white paper on Extended Battery Duty Cycles. The detailed licensee calculations, supporting vendor discharge test data, FLEX strategy battery load profile, and other inputs/initial conditions required by IEEE-485 are available on DNC's web portal for documents and calculations. The time margin between the calculated battery depletion for the FLEX strategy and the expected deployment time for FLEX equipment to supply the DC loads is approximately 17 hours1.967593e-4 days <br />0.00472 hours <br />2.810847e-5 weeks <br />6.4685e-6 months <br /> for Millstone Unit 2.
f) The BDB and Regional Response Center (RRC) equipment details in OIP Table 1, PWR Portable Equipment Phase 2, and OIP Table 2, PWR Portable Equipment Phase 3, respectively, have changed. Updates to the 'List Portable Equipment', 'Performance Criteria,' and usage categories are included as well as associated changes/deletions in footnotes. Minor changes to the number of components have been included for some of the support equipment categories, but no changes are made to the quantities of any of the major FLEX components. Revised OIP Tables 1 and 2 are attached.
g) The strategy has been revised regarding the flowpath for supplying water to the SGs following depletion of the contents of the CST. The CST has been removed from the flowpath once it is depleted. Attached is the revised OIP Figure 2 showing the updated connection strategy and flowpaths.
h) The OIP submitted on February 28, 2013 contained an open item for the development of the coping strategy to maintain Containment integrity following an ELAP event, if required.
OIP Section A.4 (Action Item 17) and Attachment 1A, Sequence of Events, Item 17, discussed the timeframe for which action was required to address Containment temperature and pressure. Conservative analysis has concluded that Containment temperature and pressure response will remain below design limits following an ELAP event and that key parameter instrumentation subject to the Containment environment will remain functional for at least seven days (Reference 10).
The strategy for coping with Containment temperature and pressure increases has been developed. By maintaining these parameters below their design limits, Containment structural integrity is ensured. To remain within analyzed limits for equipment qualification temperature, the Containment temperature will be procedurally monitored and, if necessary, the temperature will be reduced. This will require the implementation of the Phase 3 Containment cooling strategy such that heat removal from Containment is initiated in a timely manner.
The Phase 3 Containment coping strategy was not provided in the initial submittal of the 0IP. It is provided in Attachment 2 of this submittal. The Containment coping strategy is provided in the original OIP template format as Section D and is intended to supersede the previous Section D in its entirety. Attachment 2 also contains 2 new OIP figures (Figures 10 and 11) in support of the Section D Containment strategy.
Serial No. 12-161E Docket No. 50-336 Order EA-12-049 Attachment 1 Page 5 of 30 i) In response to the NRC staff concern that sufficient time and core flow conditions are available for adequate boron mixing, the , Pressurized Water Reactor Owners Group (PWROG), in conjunction with Westinghouse, developed a boron mixing position paper.
This position paper has been endorsed by the NRC with clarifications as stated in a letter from Jack Davis, Director Mitigating Strategies, USNRC to Jack Stringfellow, PWROG, Endorsing PWROG Position Paper, January 8, 2014. The MPS2 ELAP analyses verify that the conditions set forth in the NRC's endorsement of the boron mixing position paper with clarifications are met. Accordingly, the endorsed boron mixing methodology has been applied to the final FLEX RCS inventory and reactivity management strategies.
5 Need for Relief/Relaxation and Basis for the Relief/Relaxation DNC expects to comply with the order implementation date and no relief/relaxation is required at this time.

Provide a general description of the coping strategies using Phase 3 equipment including modifications that are proposedto maintain Containment. Identify methods (Containment spray/hydrogen igniters)and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.
An evaluation has been performed and concludes that Containment temperature and pressure will remain below design limits and key parameter instruments subject to Containment environment will remain functional for at least 7 days. To remain within analyzed limits for equipment qualification temperature, the Containment temperature will be procedurally monitored and, if necessary, the temperature will be reduced. This will require the implementation of the Phase 3 Containment cooling strategy such that heat removal from Containment is initiated in a timely manner.
The strategy to reduce Containment temperature is to provide for Containment heat removal through water spray into the Containment atmosphere using the installed Containment Spray (CS) pumps and spray rings. This strategy requires repowering a Class 1E 4160VAC bus using a 4160VAC DG from the Regional Response Center (RRC) and restoration of cooling water flow to the CS heat exchanger. An alternate strategy is also available which will provide Containment ventilation cooling using the safety-related Containment Air Recirculation Fans.
Primary Containment Cooling Strategy - Containment Recirculation Spray The 4160VAC DG from the RRC will be aligned to power a Class 1E 4160VAC bus as described in Section F1.3, which will provide power to CS, Reactor Building Closed Cooling Water (RBCCW), and Service Water (SW) pumps 4kV motors. Flow will be initially established from the RWST to the Containment through the normal CS flowpath through the spray ring header nozzles. This initial flow will provide heat removal from the Containment atmosphere and fill the Containment sump in preparation for initiation of Containment recirculation flow. When the Containment sump level is adequate to support swap over to sump suction, the CS pumps will be aligned to draw water from the sump and recirculate flow through the CS heat exchangers and the spray nozzles. SW flow will be established through the RBCCW heat exchangers to provide a heat sink, and RBCCW flow will be established through the CS heat exchangers and the RBCCW heat exchangers to transfer heat to the SW system. In this manner, Containment atmosphere heat will be rejected to the ultimate heat sink via the sump water recirculation spray flowpath.
In the event that the Service Water system pumps are unavailable, portable 5,000 gpm (low pressure/high flow) diesel driven pumps from the RRC will be utilized to provide water flow from the Niantic Bay to the RBCCW heat exchangers via connection of the pump discharge to existing inspection port flanged openings in the Service Water pumps discharge header located in the Intake Structure.

A portable 480VAC DG from the BDB Storage Facility will be aligned to power a Class 1 E 480VAC bus as described in Section F1.2, which will provide power to a Containment Air Recirculation Fan (CARF) motor. Containment ventilation flow will be established by starting the CARF fan with air flow through the CARF heat exchanger and recirculating within the Containment. SW flow will be established through the RBCCW heat exchanger to provide a heat sink, and RBCCW flow will be established through the CARF heat exchanger and the RBCCW heat exchanger to transfer heat to the SW system. In this manner, Containment atmosphere heat will be rejected to the ultimate heat sink via the recirculation of Containment atmosphere through the CARF heat exchanger.

Serial No. 12-161E Docket No. 50-336 Order EA-12-049 Attachment 3 Page 1 of 8 Response to September 2013 Audit Questions Millstone Power Station Unit 2
Background
By letter dated February 28, 2013 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML13064A265), Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc.,
(DNC) submitted an Overall Integrated Plan (OIP) in response to the March 12, 2012, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events (Order Number EA-12-049; ADAMS Accession No. ML12056A045) for Millstone Power Station Units 2 and 3 (MPS2 and MPS3), which is consistent with NEI 12-06.
The NRC staff reviewed the February 28, 2013 OIP submittal for MPS2 and conducted an audit of the OIP in September 2013. Some of the information provided during that audit is provided below.
NRC Audit Question No. 21 Dominion provided apparently conflicting information regarding the start of cooldown.
Action Item 5 in the SOE notes that the initiation of cooldown (5 minutes following ELAP) at 50 minutes. This information appears inconsistent with the information in Item 6 of Attachment 1B (page 105) that indicates that based on the analysis of Case 21 in WCAP-17601, plant cooldown begins 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> following declarationof the ELAP with cooldown rate of 75 oF/hr until the SG pressure reaches 135 psia. Clarification is needed to correct this apparent inconsistency. Specify the required operatoractions prior to the initiation of cooldown at 50 minutes. Also, specify the required cooldown completion time that is supportable by adequate analysis and identify the required operatoractions for completing the cooldown. Discuss how all the requiredactions can be reasonably achievable within the required time constraint during the ELAP conditions. (Reference Item 3.2.1.6.A)
DNC Response:
The initiation time of 50 minutes that is listed in Sequence of Event (SOE) Action Item 6 is being revised to a time of 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> to provide consistency with the reference plant case 21 of WCAP-17601. That reference case is applicable for MPS2. The correct time for initiation of cooldown is listed in Attachment 1B of the Overall Integrated Plan for MPS2. As stated in the sixth line of Attachment 1B, the initiating time for cooldown is at 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> with a rate <75 0F/hr to a steam generator pressure of 120 psig.
2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> is considered more than adequate time to dispatch operators to the Enclosure Building (EB) for Atmospheric Steam Dump local operation, establish communication
Serial No. 12-161E Docket No. 50-336 Order EA-12-049 Attachment 3 Page 2 of 8 with the Control Room and initiate the cooldown. Personnel will be able to access the EB and initiate cooldown prior to 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />. Steam release from the SGs will be controlled locally within the EB using the handwheels installed on the atmospheric dump valves.
Initiation of the cooldown at a time earlier than 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> would not invalidate the conclusions of the generic analysis. This would result in more rapid depressurization of the RCS and less leakage through the RCP seals. Review of the analysis (Calculation No. MISC-1 1790) results show that there is more than adequate shutdown reactivity throughout the event to offset this effect.
NRC Audit Question No. 35 In the integrated plan Dominion did not discuss the effects of loss of power to heat tracing. Provide a discussion and analysis of the effects of the loss of heat tracing for equipment required to cope with an ELAP. (Reference Item 3.2.4.3.A)
DNC Response:
Heat trace is used to provide two protection functions:
- Heat trace is used to maintain highly concentrated soluble boron solutions above the temperature where the soluble boron will precipitate out of solution.
- Heat trace is also used to protect piping systems and components from freezing in extreme cold weather conditions.
The FLEX strategies that have been developed do not depend on highly concentrated soluble boron solutions. The FLEX strategies will use borated water sources with boron concentrations below 4000 PPM; therefore, boron precipitation is not expected to occur.
Additionally, the FLEX strategies have been developed to protect piping systems and components from freezing. Commercially available Heat Tape and insulation rolls will be maintained in the BDB Storage Building for use on piping systems and components that will be used during an ELAP event where freezing is a concern in extreme cold weather conditions. In addition, major components being procured for FLEX strategies are being provided with cold weather packages and small electrical generators to power the heat tape circuits as well as protect the equipment from damage due to extreme cold weather and help assure equipment reliability.
Equipment used for the mixing of borated water in the portable Boric Acid Batch Tanks will include components such as an agitator and a tank heater to facilitate complete dissolution of the boric acid crystals. FLEX Strategies will provide guidance for mixing
Serial No. 12-161E Docket No. 50-336 Order EA-1 2-049 Attachment 3 Page 3 of 8 to maintain concentrations below the solubility limit corresponding to freezing temperatures. This will ensure that boron precipitation during an extreme cold weather event is not challenged.
NRC Audit Question No. 37 The licensee's plan for electrical isolation and interactions did not provide reasonable assurance that the plan conforms to the guidance in NEI 12-06, Section 3.2.2, Paragraph (13) because there is insufficient information on electrical isolations and interactions to determine how the portable FLEX generatorand the Safeguards Buses are isolated to prevent simultaneously supplying power to the same bus from different sources. Pleaseprovide information on how Dominion addresses electricalisolation to prevent simultaneouslysupplying power to the same bus from different sources.
DNC Response:
Electrical isolation to prevent simultaneously supplying power to a Class 1E Emergency Bus from different sources will be administratively controlled. The FLEX Support Guidelines will be written to ensure the breakers from other potential supply sources are racked out and tagged before power is supplied to any of the Class 1 E Emergency Busses by the BDB portable diesel generators which are to be back fed through the "B" heater drain pumps for the 4160VAC Emergency Bus tie-in and the "B" retired Hydrogen Recombiner for the 480VAC Emergency Bus tie-in.
MPS2 FSAR Figure 8.2-1 provides a Single Line Diagram for the unit. A copy of Figure 8.2-1, with notations highlighting the 4160VAC and 480VAC BDB diesel generator tie-in locations was provided during the audit process.
NRC Audit Question No. 42 Systems and Equipment for Mitigation Strategies: List the non-safety related installed systems or equipment that are credited in the ELAP analysis supporting the FLEX mitigation strategies. Specify the functions of each system or equipment credited in the ELAP analysis. For all the systems or equipment listed, justify that they are available and reliable to provide the desired functions on demand during the ELAP conditions.
DNC Response:
The response to Audit Question No. 42 has been revised. There are no non-safety related installed systems or equipment credited in the ELAP analysis supporting the FLEX mitigation strategies.
Serial No. 12-161E Docket No. 50-336 Order EA-12-049 Attachment 3 Page 4 of 8 NRC Audit Question No. 48 Reference Item 3.1.1.2.A: Describe the fuel oil supply system and flow paths for the fuel oil (i.e., fuel oil storage tank volume, supply pathway, etc.). In addition, explain how fuel quality will be assuredif stored for extended periods of time.
DNC Response:
Fuel sources for the BDB portable pumps and generators used for the FLEX strategies during Phase II and Phase III of an ELAP event are provided from the following on-site fuel oil sources:
- 1. Two 12,000 gallon (TS Minimum) seismically installed, missile protected fuel oil storage tanks located on the 38'6" elevation in the MPS2 Auxiliary Building.
These two tanks are located well above the maximum postulated flood elevation so they can reasonably be expected to survive following a BDB external event (BDBEE).
- 2. Two below-ground fuel oil storage tanks, each containing 32,670 gallons (TS Minimum), are located outside the MPS3 Emergency Diesel Generator facility.
These tanks are seismically installed, missile protected, and located above the maximum postulated flood elevation. Therefore, these fuel oil storage tanks can be reasonably expected to survive following a BDBEE.
Diesel fuel in the fuel oil storage tanks is routinely sampled and tested to assure fuel oil quality is maintained to ASTM standards. This sampling and testing surveillance program also assures the fuel oil quality is maintained for operation of the station Emergency Diesel generators.
The fuel sources will be used to fill a fuel oil truck with a self-powered pump that will be procured and stored in the BDB Storage Building. The truck will be deployed from the BDB Storage Building facility to the east side of the MPS2 Auxiliary Building and will be gravity filled from the 12,000 gallon MPS2 fuel oil storage tanks.
As an alternate fuel source, the fuel oil truck can be dispatched to the west side of the MPS3 EDG facility where it can be filled from underground fuel sources using the trucks' self-powered pump.
To facilitate deployment of the BDB portable pumps and generators the equipment will be stored in a fueled condition. As a part of the Preventative Maintenance (PM) templates being created by EPRI, the fuel oil tanks for this FLEX equipment will also be routinely sampled and tested to assure proper fuel oil quality is maintained.
The proposed BDB Storage Building where the fuel truck will be stored, will be located south of the railroad bridge, and on the west side of the MPS access road, adjacent to

NRC Audit Question No. 49 Reference Item 3.2.4.2.D: Ventilation. There are insufficient details regarding the effects of loss of ventilation in the TDAFW pump room, such that the staff is unable to conclude that the equipment in the TDAFW pump room will perform its function and assist in core cooling throughout all Phases of an ELAP. Please provide information on the adequacy of the ventilation provided in the TDAFW pump room to support equipment operation throughout all phases of an ELAP. Specifically, provide a discussion on the impact of elevated temperatures, as a result of loss of ventilation and/or cooling, on electrical equipment being credited as part of the ELAP strategies (e.g., electrical equipment in the turbine driven emergency feedwater pump room). In your response, specify whether the initial temperature condition assumed the worst-case outside temperature with the plant operating at full power. Provide the list of electrical components that are located in the pump rooms that are necessary to ensure successful operation of required pumps. Also provide the qualification level for temperature and pressure for these electrical components for the duration that the pumps are assumed to perform its mitigating strategies function.
DNC Response:
As documented in the MPS2 SBO safe shutdown evaluation, the TDAFW Pump room temperature during SBO is bounded by the steady state normal room operating temperature of the pump. The room has a water tight door that is not assumed to be open and the heat up analysis for the room does not take credit for ventilation. The room temperature has been calculated to not exceed 130'F. This temperature is less than the room design temperature of 135°F specified in the MPS2 Specification for Environmental Conditions for Equipment Qualification.
Since this room is not expected to experience a heat load during the ELAP/LUHS scenario that is any greater than the heat load during normal TDAFW pump operation, no compensatory cooling measures are required for this room.
NRC Audit Question No. 53 Reference Item 3.2.4.8.F. Section F1.2 states that the BDB electrical receptacles 53 will be connected to a new breaker on the 120VAC vital bus panels. However, this new breaker is not identified in Section A.4, Action item 12 (page 11), nor in F1.2.2.
Please clarify if this is a breaker will be installed as part of the FLEX and if it is part of the modifications necessary for Phase2
The receptacles identified in Section F1.2 are to be installed and connected to new breakers within the 120VAC distribution panels. Regarding F1.2.2, the new breakers were considered part of the receptacle modification. OIP Section A.4 (Action Item 12) addressed the complete action to provide 120VAC to the distribution panels. However, the discussion only stated the actions to deploy the portable DGs and connect the DGs to the receptacles. Starting the DGs and closing the breakers to power the panels was an implied action necessary to complete the re-powering of the distribution panels.
These additional actions were included in the stated approximate completion time and do not impact the margin available to meet the depletion of battery life.
NRC Audit Question No. 64 The Order requires mitigating beyond-design-basisexternal events. On page 3 of 109, as part of the discussion of external flooding, the licensee states that seiche-related flooding is not addressedin the FSAR.
The licensee is requested to discuss why a beyond-design-basis external event such as a seiche cannot occur on Long Island Sound. If a seiche is possible, please discuss why the licensee does not consider a seiche as a beyond-design-basis external event applicable to MPS2.
DNC Response:
As stated, the MPS2 FSAR does not address seiche-related flooding. However, the MPS3 FSAR does include seiche conditions, but states that the Probable Maximum Hurricane (PMH) surge is the more significant flooding event at the MPS site. Although this statement is made for MPS3, it is applicable to both units at the MPS site.
Based on the above, DNC does not consider a seiche as a beyond-design-basis external event applicable to MPS2.
NRC Audit Question No. 80 Generic Open Item: The licensees' plans for equipment maintenance and testing which endorses the EPRI industry program for maintenance which is currently under development does not provide reasonable assurance that guidance and strategies developed and implemented under them will conform to the guidance of NEI 12-06, Section 11.5 with respect to maintenance and testing. Please provide details of the EPRI industry program for maintenance and testing of FLEX electricalequipment such as batteries, cables, and diesel generators.
