Please provide a discussion of how, if at all, Exelon considered whether these potentially cost beneficial SAMAs impact the conclusions in the 1989 SAMDA regarding the risk and environmental impacts of severe accidents at LGS. Please indicate whether these SAMAs were discussed in Table A of Exelons December 14, 2012, Counter Affidavit (ADAMS Accession No. ML12349A328). If so, what is the basis for Exelons conclusions with respect to those SAMAs in Table A? If not, please provide the basis for why these SAMAs are not new and significant information with respect to the 1989 SAMDA.

Exelon Response In the License Renewal Environmental Report for Limerick [7], Exelon used a process for identifying new information that considered information related to plant functions (e.g., plant changes or new severe accident challenges) that contribute to the consequences of a severe accident. Five plant functions were identified and an assessment was performed of new information that has become known concerning these functions. The assessment was focused on Limerick-specific information and general industry experience rather than specific SAMAs from other plants. For completeness, all of the SAMAs from other plants that are listed in RAI #1 are evaluated in this response to determine if they represent new and significant information with respect to the 1989 Limerick SAMDAs.

Since the definition of significant is not well established in the context of SAMA analysis, a review of PRA standards and relevant guidance documents has been performed to develop a basis for what is significant in the SAMA context. For the reasons stated below, Exelon has selected a 50%

reduction in the maximum averted cost-risk (MACR) as the threshold for what may be significant.

There are a few notable documents that provide numerical criteria that may be applied to determine the threshold for significance. The first one is the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)/American Nuclear Society (ANS) PRA Standard [8] which includes the following definition of a significant basic event.

significant basic event: a basic event that contributes significantly to the computed risks for a specific hazard group. For internal events, this includes any basic event that has an FV [Fussell-Vesely] importance greater than 0.005 or a RAW [Risk Achievement Worth] importance greater than 2.

Enclosure Page 4 of 15 Similar numerical criteria also appear in NUMARC 93-01 [9], which includes the following guidance.

An SSC would probably be considered risk significant if its Risk Reduction Worth exceeds 0.5 percent of the overall Core Damage Frequency (Risk Reduction Worth >1.005).

[]

An SSC [structure, system or component] would probably be considered risk significant if its Risk Achievement Worth shows at least a doubling of the overall Core Damage Frequency and should be provided to the expert panel as an input in risk determination.

Finally, NEI 00-04 [10] provides detailed guidance on categorizing structures, systems and components for licensees that choose to adopt 10 CFR § 50.69, Risk-Informed Categorization and Treatment of Structures, Systems and Components for Nuclear Power Reactors. In the discussion of using risk analyses for SSC categorization, the following guidance is provided.

The risk importance process uses two standard PRA importance measures, risk achievement worth (RAW) and Fussell-Vesely (F-V), as screening tools to identify candidate safety-significant SSCs. The criteria chosen for safety significance using these importance measures are based on previously accepted values for similar applications.

[]

The importance measure criteria used to identify candidate safety significance are:

  • Sum of F-V for all basic events modeling the SSC of interest, including common cause events > 0.005
  • Maximum of component basic event RAW values > 2 In summary, an F-V value > 0.005 and a RAW value > 2 are well established indicators of PRA significance. This can be extended to apply to not just internal events core damage frequency (CDF) and large early release frequency (LERF), but to external events CDF and LERF, and other integrated key output figures of merit. In the context of license renewal, the accepted key output figure of merit for decision making is potential averted cost risk.

Enclosure Page 5 of 15 When averted cost risks are analyzed, the F-V importance measure would be highly dependent on the assumed reliability of the system once it is installed. This is illustrated in Figure 1 which shows an example of how the F-V value changes with assumed failure probability values given a case where a 50% reduction in the measured parameter is estimated assuming perfect reliability. In this example, a 0.005 F-V value would be obtained when the failure probability is ~0.005. This failure probability represents a system or component that is 99.5% reliable, which is fairly representative of many components modeled in typical PRA analyses.

0.10 0.09 0.08 0.07 0.06 FV Value 0.05 0.04 0.03 0.02 Better Reliability 0.01 0.00 1.00E+00 1.00E01 1.00E02 1.00E03 1.00E04 1.00E05 Failure Probability Figure 1 F-V AS A FUNCTION OF FAILURE PROBABILITY

Enclosure Page 6 of 15 On the other hand, as the reliability of the system increases (i.e., as the likelihood of system failure decreases), the RAW importance measure would asymptotically approach a RAW of 2 if 50% of the measured parameter can be averted. This is illustrated in Figure 2, which shows an example of how the RAW changes with assumed failure probability values when a 50% reduction in the measured parameter is estimated assuming perfect reliability. Therefore, a correlation to a RAW >

2 as the acceptance threshold for significance is established and a 50% reduction in the maximum averted cost-risk (MACR) is chosen for the significance threshold.

2.50 2.00 1.50 RAW Value 1.00 0.50 Better Reliability 0.00 1.00E+00 1.00E01 1.00E02 1.00E03 1.00E04 1.00E05 Failure Probability Figure 2 RAW AS A FUNCTION OF FAILURE PROBABILITY In other words, the 50% MACR threshold would be equivalent to a highly reliable system leading to doubling the cost risk when it is taken out of service for maintenance. This correlates to a well-established threshold for determining risk significance in the PRA applications discussed above.

In summary, a RAW value of 2 is selected as the key acceptance criterion for determining the significance of a potential plant enhancement in this context. This is consistent with a well-established threshold for determining risk significance in various PRA applications, and correlates well with a 50% reduction in the MACR for a SAMA that is implemented. Therefore, a 50%

reduction in the MACR is chosen for the significance threshold.

Enclosure Page 7 of 15 Table 1 summarizes Exelons evaluation of each potentially cost beneficial SAMA identified in RAI

  1. 1. The evaluation identifies and eliminates from further consideration SAMAs that have already been implemented at Limerick. Then, the percent change in the MACR from implementing each remaining SAMA at the plant for which it was potentially cost-beneficial is estimated using cost-benefit information from the ER from which the SAMA was taken and/or the GEIS. To determine whether the SAMA should be considered new and significant information with respect to the 1989 Limerick SAMDA analysis, the percent change in the MACR was compared with the definition above of significant. Changes at Limerick that are functionally equivalent but not identical to those named in a SAMA are also identified in Table 1. However, no SAMAs to which this situation applies were determined to be new and significant. Hence, further assessment of such information was not needed.

As can be seen in Table 1, given that all of the items identified in RAI #1 have either already been implemented at Limerick or were not considered to be significant in the plants for which they were determined to be potentially cost-beneficial, there is no evidence to suggest that the SAMAs would be new and significant for Limerick.

The information from the Columbia ER [3] was superseded in the GEIS [6]. The GEIS shows two sets of PRA results for the first six SAMAs. In those cases, the higher averted cost risk is shown in this table. In all cases for Columbia, the lower base case MACR value is shown in this table. These two choices ensure that the maximum percent change is conservatively reported for this assessment.

Enclosure Page 12 of 15 RAI #2 On page 5-6 of the ER, Exelon provides a history of the reductions in core damage frequency (CDF). Exelon further states that the reduction in CDF reflects improvements in reliability data, improvements in procedural guidance and plant capabilities, and a reduction in the number of reactor trips. Furthermore Exelon states, Reductions in CDF reflect implementation of the IPE, IPEEE, and CPI program.

What is the status of these improvements and mitigation measures? Please indicate which have been implemented and when. Describe other mitigation activities that have been implemented at LGS to substantially reduce the CDF or Large Early Release Frequency since the 1989 SAMDA.

Exelon Response Table 6.2-2 of the Limerick IPE [11] listed four improvement items that were planned as part of the IPE and which were implemented prior to or shortly after the 1992 IPE submittal. These are listed below along with their current status.

  • Relax restrictions in Drywell Spray Initiation Curve (Capability maintained in the drywell spray initiation limit curve in the site emergency operating procedures.)
  • Create procedure to crosstie 4 kV electrical buses (Capability maintained in current site response procedures which allow for alignment of alternate power supply for any 4kV Safeguard Bus using any diesel generator.)
  • Create procedure to power C & D ESW Pumps from Unit 1, Division 3 & 4 respectively.

(Capability maintained in a current station procedure.)

  • Create cross connection between diesel driven Fire Pump and Fire Water System and RHR.

(Capability maintained in a current station procedure.)

Section 7 of the Limerick IPEEE [12] listed the following plant improvement items. All of the items were addressed shortly after the 1995 IPEEE submittal.

  • Address housekeeping concerns identified from the seismic walkdowns. This included items such as unrestrained lifting devices, open S-hooks, and free standing equipment and maintenance concerns such as rusting support bolts and loose battery rack spacer pads. (A maintenance housekeeping procedure and a guidance procedure for storage and housekeeping are both active to ensure good housekeeping practices at the site.)
  • Designate fire compartments 1, 7, 22, and 23 as transient combustible free zones.

(Transient combustible free zones are currently controlled via an operations procedure.)

  • Replace all wood scaffolding with metal scaffolding and revise procedures to prevent further use of wood scaffolding. (Scaffolding installation, inspection, and removal is controlled via a maintenance procedure. The original commitment was subsequently slightly altered to minimize use of wood scaffolding in the RCA. This change was reported to the NRC.)
  • Revise the combustible control procedure to provide more conservative combustible control guidelines in safety related areas within the reactor enclosures. (Combustible controls are currently maintained via an operations procedure.)

Enclosure Page 13 of 15

  • Administratively control additional doors as fire doors to limit the amount of air available for combustion. The existing doors are fire rated. (Fire barriers are currently controlled via a station procedure.)
  • Increase the fire brigade drill activities and awareness of fixed combustible risk in fire compartments 2, 20, and 26. (Fire brigade activities are currently controlled via an operations procedure. The original commitment was subsequently slightly altered to indicate that fire drill scenarios should focus on realistic fire situations based on plant operating experience and that challenge plant operations in risk significant areas.)

As noted in NEI 91-04 [13], the CPI program issues applicable to Limerick were effectively subsumed into the IPE process in Supplement 1 and 3 to Generic Letter 88-20. Additionally the Emergency Procedure Guidelines (EPG) and Severe Accident Guidelines (SAG) developed by the BWROG and implemented at Limerick incorporate the accident management strategies identified in the CPI program and elsewhere [14]. Therefore, other than EPG/SAG implementation, there are no additional specific items to list related to the CPI program.

Note that in addition to the items noted above, other plant enhancements have been made over the years at Limerick since the 1989 SAMDA. Examples of changes that have been implemented at the site to substantially reduce CDF and LERF since the 1989 SAMDA include the following items.

  • Isolation valves were installed in the ESW loop piping to limit the affected portions of ESW during maintenance to one unit at a time.
  • Technical Support Guidelines were developed to refill the CST from the existing fire system.
