4 Changes to Compliance Method By letter dated February 28, 2013, (Reference 1), DNC provided an OIP to address Beyond-Design-Basis (BDB) events at MPS2 and Millstone Power Station Unit 3 (MPS3) as required by Order Number EA-12-049, dated March 12, 2012. The first Six-Month Status Update of the OIP for MPS2 and MPS3 was provided by letter dated August 23, 2013 (Reference 14). The second Six-Month Status Update for MPS2 was provided by letter dated February 28, 2014 (Reference 16). The following are changes to the compliance method information provided in the MPS2 OIP and subsequent updates, which continues to meet Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 12-06 (Reference 3):

a) Regarding the previously reported strategy for Modes 5 & 6, credit was taken for the Refueling Water Storage Tanks (RWSTs) to provide a borated water source for injection into the Reactor Coolant System (RCS). Although the RWSTs are not missile protected, credit as a borated water source was based on the assumption that it was improbable that both tanks would be destroyed by a single tornado. Subsequently, the strategy has been enhanced to address the scenario that both RWSTs are unavailable. The revised strategy includes the provision to utilize other water sources onsite (which are protected from a tornado) if both RWSTs are unavailable. If a clean water source is used, flow must be controlled in order to match the rate of water loss (due to boiling) so that dilution of the boron concentration in the RCS does not occur.

Serial No.14-393 Docket No. 50-336 Order EA-12-049 Attachment 1 Page 3 of 29 b) Based on a study that included a chemical analysis of the various water sources onsite, the preferred order of clean water sources for use in both the primary and secondary sides of the Nuclear Steam Supply System (NSSS) was revised. Additionally, use of water from Long Island Sound or the onsite pond following a flooding event have been excluded as water sources for either the primary or secondary sides of the NSSS since they contain high concentrations of salt. As a last resort, however, they are not excluded as a water source for the Spent Fuel Pool.

c) DNC is pursuing an alternate means of compliance to NEI 12-06, Section 3.2.2, regarding additional "spare" cables and hoses. Typically, the hoses utilized to implement a FLEX strategy are not a single continuous hose, but are composed of individual sections of a smaller length joined together to form a sufficient length. In the case of cables, multiple individual lengths of cable are used to construct a circuit.

Hoses and cables are passive devices, that are unlikely to fail provided they are appropriately inspected and maintained. The most likely cause of failure is mechanical damage during handling provided that the hoses and cables are stored in areas with suitable environmental conditions. The hoses and cables for the FLEX strategies will be stored and maintained in accordance with manufacturers' recommendations including any shelf life requirements. Initial inspections and periodic inspections or testing/replacement will be incorporated into the site's maintenance and testing program and implemented in accordance with Section 11.5 of NEI 12-06.

The industry has proposed for NRC Staff consideration alternate methods of compliance to the N+1 requirement applicable to hoses and cables, as stated in Section 3.2.2 of NEI 12-

06. DNC supports this industry proposal and has adopted the agreed upon method for hoses in that 10% of the total length and at least one of the longest single lengths for each hose size has been purchased. With regard to cables, the 120/240VAC generators and the 480VAC generators are backups to each other; therefore, only N sets of cables are required. Consequently, once NRC endorsement of this alternate approach is complete, DNC will have achieved alternate compliance with the NEI 12-06 N+1 requirement for hoses.

d) The structural integrity of the reactor Containment building will not be challenged due to increasing Containment pressure during a BDB Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP) event.

Additionally, analysis has shown that any increase in temperature following an ELAP event does not challenge the key parameter instrumentation in the Containment for at least seven (7) days.

Multiple Containment cooling methods described in previous submittals are available as options for heat removal to maintain Containment temperature for equipment design limits.

However, they are not required to be specifically designated as primary and alternate strategies. Adequate time is available utilizing equipment from the NSRC to deploy the cooling methods described.

Serial No.14-393 Docket No. 50-336 Order EA-12-049 Attachment 1 Page 4 of 29 e) The BDB and NSRC 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,' 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 have been made to the quantities of any of the major FLEX components. Revised OIP Tables 1 and 2 are attached.

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.

6 Open Items The NRC has established an audit process to allow the exchange of information between the licensees and the NRC Staff (Reference 19). Between July 21, 2014 and July 25, 2014, MPS2 and MPS3 were the subject of an NRC onsite audit where the site specific aspects of DNC's proposed FLEX Mitigating Strategies were reviewed. During this NRC onsite audit, the staff reviewed site specific documentation and, upon completion of the audit, indicated that further review of several items was not anticipated as DNC proceeds towards compliance for Orders EA-12-049 and EA-12-051. These items are identified in the following tables in Section 6.

Note that the tables provided in Sections 6.4 and 6.5 are new and are the result of the ongoing NRC audit process.

6.1. Open Items from Overall Integrated Plan The following table provides a summary of the status of Open Items (01) identified by DNC and documented in Attachment 2B of the MPS2 Overall Integrated Plan submitted on February 28, 2013 and the status of each item.

(References 17 and 19)

Dominion did not provide a definite conclusion regarding the potential for liquefaction along deployment routes or if liquefaction was an issue at MPS2. Dominion identified that liquefaction may be a problem but no analysis was provided to evaluate this potential deployment issue. Provide a discussion regarding the potential for seismic event liquefaction that clearly defines this deployment hazard for MPS2.

equipment at the high temperatures that may be (See Attachment 2) experienced due to the ELAP, i.e., would the equipment have to operate in any high temperature areas of the plant when deployed. A review of the diagrams provided in Figures 1-8 of the integrated plan appear to show that all portable FLEX equipment, (BDB pumps and ac generators) will be set up in areas outside of the buildings where the connections will be made. This would allow operation only in the high ambient temperatures external to plant buildings.

Dominion plans on storing BDB equipment so that it will be protected from high temperature events while stored in the BDB Storage Building(s) or in protected areas of the plant.

However, as noted on page 27 of the integrated plan, Dominion plans on locating the BDB AFW pump inside the Turbine Building for the specific case of imminent flooding for the installed TDAFW pump. In this situation the portable pump would be operating inside a confined space, subject to high temperatures due to lack of ventilation. Provide a discussion regarding the ability of FLEX equipment to operate at potentially high ambient temperatures for placement of portable FLEX equipment in the situation where the portable BDB AFW pump is operated inside the Turbine Building.

in order of intended use. This section also specifies that (See Section 4b and when all other preferred water sources have been depleted, References 17 and 19) lower water quality sources may be pumped as makeup flow using available equipment and that procedures/guidance should clearly specify the conditions when the operator is expected to resort to increasingly impure water sources. Dominion noted for the alternate strategy for RCS makeup, that water would be added to a batching tank and that "Bags of powdered boric acid are easy to deploy to any area of the plant where the batching tanks are required. Water for mixing would be supplied by the BDB High Capacity pump." The water supplies in this instance would be water from either a 3 million gallon site pond or the UHS. Both of these makeup water supplies could potentially contain debris or foreign material. Provide a discussion and analysis of the possible consequences of injecting potentially impure or contaminated water from the UHS or the site 3 million gallon pond into the RCS or the SG's.

Discuss Dominion's position on each of the recommendations discussed above for developing the FLEX mitigation strategies. List the recommendations that are applicable to the plant, provide rationale for the applicability, address how the applicable recommendations are considered in the ELAP analysis, and discuss the plan to implement the recommendations. Also, provide rationale for each of the recommendations that are determined to be not applicable to the plant.

Safety Time to reflux cooling - Please clarify whether the During the July 2014 NRC Evaluation intended timeline for aligning the FLEX RCS makeup Onsite Audit, the NRC Staff Review pump may be delayed based on procedural guidance indicated that further Item #3 that derives from the analysis in WCAP-1 7792-P, pages review of this item was not 3-10 through 3-16. Although the staff recognizes that anticipated as DNC plant operators require leeway to control pumps and proceeds towards equipment in response to plant indications and other compliance for Orders EA-symptoms, the staff considers it prudent that equipment 12-049 and EA-12-051.

alignments proceed as outlined in the integrated plan to (References 19 and 23) the extent possible. Therefore, provide justification if the operators would delay the alignment of the FLEX RCS makeup pump(s) beyond the time specified in the integrated plan based on initial indications that the reactor coolant pump seal leakage is lower than the value assumed in the ELAP analysis.

8 Supplemental Information This supplemental information provides details of the changes identified in the status updates above and addresses the following topics: a) a revision to Milestone Task 'Develop Modifications,' b) a revision to Milestone Task 'Implement Modifications,' c) a revision to Milestone Task 'Implement Training,' d) a revision to Milestone Task 'Issue FSGs and Associated Procedure Revisions,' e) a revision to Milestone Task 'Receive Equipment,' f) a revision to Milestone Task 'Create Maintenance Procedures,' g) a revision to Open Item No. 5, and, h) a revision to Open Item No.21.

a) MPS2, Milestone Task 'Develop Modifications': The revision to the scheduled target completion date is needed to obtain final design change approval of the MPS2 modifications to the Atmospheric Dump Valve (ADV) outlet piping supports.

b) MPS2, Milestone Task 'Implement Modifications': The revision to the scheduled milestone target completion date is required since the ADV modification requires a unit outage. This revised date is consistent with the date for full implementation of the FLEX Mitigating Strategies for MPS2.

c) MPS2, Milestone Task 'Implement Training': The revision to the scheduled milestone target completion date corresponds to the training completion date set for MPS3, since MPS2 and MPS3 BDB training is performed jointly. The MPS3 date is the result of a relaxation of Condition A.2 of the Order requested by DNC and accepted by the NRC.

The revised target completion date meets the schedule for full implementation of the FLEX Mitigating Strategies for MPS2.

d) MPS2, Milestone Task 'Issue FSGs and Associated Procedure Revisions': The revision to the scheduled milestone target completion date allows for completion of the MPS2 FSGs in line with the schedule for validation and training on the FSGs.

e) MPS2, Milestone Task 'Receive Equipment': The majority of the purchased major equipment has been received onsite. However, delivery of the final items has been delayed and is not expected until September 2014.

f) MPS2, Milestone Task 'Create Maintenance Procedures': The Milestone is to be restated as 'Develop Maintenance Strategies." This change is to revise the current milestone to reflect the intended activity which was to develop the maintenance strategies based on industry and vendor supplied information. As per the response provided above for Open Item 6, the restated task has been completed. The design change implementing the FLEX Mitigating Strategies Program identifies the

Serial No.14-393 Docket No. 50-336 Order EA-12-049 Attachment 1 Page 22 of 29 maintenance strategies required for the FLEX implementation and requires that Periodic Maintenance (PM) procedures be developed. Submittal of requests for creation of these PMs is in accordance with the Design Control Program and will be tracked. The PMs will be prioritized such that the near-term requirements, (e.g., 30 day walkdown inspections) are in-place prior to FLEX Mitigating Strategy implementation date. The PMs for the longer term requirements will be implemented prior to their first performance interval.

g) MPS2, Open Item 5: The Open Item completion date is revised to July 2015. The revision to the scheduled Milestone target completion date allows for completion of the MPS2 FSGs in line with the schedule for validation and training on the FSGs.

h) MPS2, Open Item 21: The majority of the purchased major equipment has been received onsite. However, delivery of the final items has been delayed and is not expected until September 2014.

F5.1 - PWR Installed Equipment Phase I Provide a general description of the coping strategies using installed equipment including station modifications that are proposed to maintain and/or support safety functions.

Identify methods and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve coping times.

The FLEX strategies for maintenance and/or support of safety functions involve several elements. One element is to ensure that ventilation, heating, and cooling are adequate to maintain acceptable environmental conditions for equipment operation and personnel habitability. Per the guidance given in NEI 12-06, FLEX strategies must be capable of execution under the adverse conditions (unavailability of installed plant lighting, ventilation, etc.) expected following a BDB External Event (BDBEE) resulting in an Extended Loss of AC Power/Loss of Ultimate Heat Sink (ELAP/LUHS). The primary concern with regard to ventilation is the heat buildup which occurs with the loss of forced ventilation in areas that continue to have heat loads.

The key areas identified for all phases of implementation of the FLEX Mitigating Strategy activities are the Main Control Room (MCR), East & West DC Switchgear (SWGR)

Rooms, Enclosure Building - East & West Penetration Rooms (location of the Atmospheric Dump Valves, ADVs), East 480V Load Center, TDAFW Pump Room, Upper 4kV SWGR Room, MCC B61 Enclosure, Charging Pump Cubicles, the Control Room A/C (CRAC)/Mechanical Equipment Room (MER), and the Track Bay area of the Turbine Building. These areas have been evaluated to determine the temperature profiles following an ELAP/LUHS event. With the exception of the TDAFW Pump Room, the Upper 4kV SWGR Room and the Charging Pump Cubicle, results of the evaluations have concluded that for all other identified areas, some actions are needed (either short term or long term actions) in order for temperatures to remain within acceptable limits following a BDBEE. The evaluations are based on conservative input heat load assumptions for all areas and with preemptive actions being taken, only when necessary, to reduce heat load or to establish either active or passive ventilation (e.g., portable fans, open doors, etc.)

The Phase 1 actions for ventilation are actions involving existing plant structures, primarily doors, and constitute the short term actions required. The Phase 1/short term 1 Coping modifications consist of modifications installed to increase initial coping time, i.e.,

generators to preserve vital instruments or increase operating time on battery powered equipment.

Serial No.14-393 Docket Nos. 50-336 Order EA-12-049 Attachment 2 Page 2 of 8 actions for the MCR are those required by existing procedures for Station Blackout (SBO) and require certain instrument cabinets to be opened within 30 minutes. The Phase 1 actions for the DC SWGR Rooms (which include the station battery rooms), East 480V Load Center, and MCC 61 Enclosure are to open various designated doors within 30 minutes, 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />, and 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />, respectively. No Phase 1 actions are required for the CRAC/MER or areas inside the Turbine Building.

The Enclosure Building East and West Penetration Rooms do not require supplemental ventilation, either passive or active. However, since an operator must pass through the Spent Fuel Pool (SFP) area to get to the east penetration room to operate the ADVs, the actions to open up the several designated doors in the SFP area is considered a Phase 1 action.

F5.2 - PWR Portable Equipment Phase 2 Provide a general description of the coping strategies using on-site portable equipment including station modifications that are proposed to maintain and/or support safety functions. Identify methods and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve coping times.

Per the guidance given in NEI 12-06, FLEX strategies must be capable of execution under the adverse conditions (unavailability of installed plant lighting, ventilation, etc.) expected following a BDBEE resulting in an ELAP/LUHS. The ventilation related actions that are taken in Phase 1 are expected to dissipate the minimal heat loads from the DC battery sources and residual heat loads in the de-energized equipment. However, Phase 2 introduces additional loads when the BDB 480 VAC diesel generator is placed into service.

The Phase 2 actions are adequate for the longer term ventilation needs. Primarily these actions involve the restoration of existing ventilation equipment using power supplied by the BDB 480 VAC generators. This includes the MCR HVAC system and the supply and exhaust fans in DC SWGR Rooms and 480V Load Center. Additionally, since the MCR HVAC is energized, the heat load in the CRAC/MER Room increases and supplemental cooling (by means of a fan in the open doorway to the 480V Load Center) is required to maintain acceptable temperatures.

The enclosure for MCC B61 has a dedicated HVAC unit. If a jumper cannot be used to repower the cooling unit, it is sufficient to open the enclosure door and blow air into the enclosure using one of the fans available in the miscellaneous BDB equipment.

An additional Phase 2 action may be required in the unlikely scenario that the diesel powered BDB AFW pump is required to operate while it is pre-staged inside the Turbine Building Track Bay. If this were to occur, the BDB procedure to operate the pump inside the Track Bay would require that the nearby rollup door (behind the closed flood gate) and a door on the 70' elevation be opened to allow air exchange in the area of the operating pump. This would be required coincident with the starting of the pump but would no longer be necessary after the flood gates are opened and the BDB AFW pump is re-located to its normally deployed location just outside of the Track Bay.

Per the guidance given in NEI 12-06, FLEX strategies must be capable of execution under the adverse conditions (unavailability of installed plant lighting, ventilation, etc.) expected following a BDBEE resulting in an ELAP/LUHS. Any additional heat loads added as a result of Phase 3 repowering efforts utilizing the 4kV generator from the National SAFER Response Center (NSRC) are addressed by the existing ventilation systems repowered by either the BDB 480VAC diesel generator or the 4kV generator received from the NSRC.
