UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 To the Power Reactor Licensees on the Enclosed List February 18, 2016
SUBJECT:
STAFF REVIEW OF HIGH FREQUENCY CONFIRMATION ASSOCIATED WITH REEVALUATED SEISMIC HAZARD IN RESPONSE TO MARCH 12, 2012 50.54(f) REQUEST FOR INFORMATION The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing this letter to inform the power reactor licensees included in Enclosure 2, of the NRC staff's review of the high frequency confirmation letters and concludes that the licensees' assessment was performed consistent with the guidance. This letter also identifies specific licensees that have provided sufficient information to complete the response to the 50. 54(f) request for information and that the staff has also found that no additional regulatory actions associated with Phase 2 of R2. 1 "Seismic" are required.
BACKGROUND By letter dated March 12, 2012 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML12053A340), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued a request for information pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 50, Section 50.54(f) (hereafter referred to as the 50.54(f) letter). The request was issued as part of implementing lessons-learned from the accident at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant. to the 50.54(f) letter requested that licensees reevaluate seismic hazards at their sites using present-day methodologies and guidance. Enclosure 1, Item 4, of the 50.54(f) letter requested that licensees perform a comparison of the ground motion response spectrum (GMRS) and safe shutdown earthquake (SSE); and if the GMRS exceeds the SSE only at higher frequencies information related to the functionality of high frequency sensitive structures, systems and components (SSCs) is requested. Attachment 1, Step 3 of the March 12, 2012, letter further clarified that licensees with high frequency exceedance should provide a confirmation that SSCs, which may be affected by high-frequency ground motion, will maintain their functions important to safety.
By letter dated July 30, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15223A100), the Nuclear Energy Institute submitted an Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) report entitled, High Frequency Program: Application Guidance for Functional Confirmation and Fragility Evaluation (EPRI 3002004396) for NRC review and endorsement. The NRC endorsed the guidance by letter dated September 17, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15218A569), as an acceptable method for licensees to use, in addition to the SPID guidance, when responding to NRC Requested Information Item (4) in Enclosure 1 of the 50.54(f) letter. Furthermore, the letter dated October 27, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15194A015), to licensees established that for facilities with limited exceedance in the high frequency range above plant design bases, submittals are expected by December 31, 2015.
REVIEW OF LICENSEE HIGH FREQUENCY CAPACITY CONFIRMATION By letters dated November and December 20151, to the NRC, licensees submitted for NRC review the limited exceedance high frequency confirmations. The NRC staff review confirmed that licensee-reevaluated seismic hazards meet one of two screening criteria:
- 1. Peak spectral accelerations s 0.2g or
- 2. The GMRS exceedance above the current design-basis is on the order of 10 percent or less of the area under the SSE or Individual Plant Examination of External Events High Confidence of Low Probability of Failure Spectrum (IHS) over the frequency range of exceedance.
The NRC staff confirmed that the following plants met the 3.1.1. "Low Spectral Acceleration Screening" criterion described in EPRI Report 3002004396:
Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2 Duane Arnold Energy Center River Bend Station, Unit 1 Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 The basis for this criterion is the lack of damage observed in actual earthquakes with observed spectral accelerations less than 0.29. Additionally, the EPRI High Frequency Program has shown that shake table testing in the high frequency range of 20 to 40 Hertz (Hz), in general, yields a higher test capacity than testing in the 4 to 16 Hz range for tests of the same control component. Therefore, the NRC staff concludes that sites with a horizontal GMRS high frequency peak spectral acceleration less than 0.2g do not warrant additional evaluations to confirm the functionality of control devices in the high frequency range.
The NRC staff confirmed that the following plants met the 3.1.2 "Limited High Frequency Exceedance Screening" criterion described in EPRI Report 3002004396:
Clinton Power Station, Unit No. 1 Hope Creek Generating Station Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Unit 2 Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant Salem Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1 and 2 Shearon Harris Nuclear Generating Station, Unit 1 Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2 For the high frequency confirmation, this range of exceedance over limited frequency ranges, evaluated using the exceedance area criteria, does not represent a concern and thus does not warrant additional evaluations to confirm the functionality of control devices in the high frequency range.
Based on the NRC staff review of licensee letters, the staff concludes that licensee screening meets the criteria outlined in EPRI Report 3002004396, and thus is acceptable to the staff.
1 Licensee November and December 2015 submittal letters can be found in Enclosure 1.
CLOSURE OF PHASE TWO EVALUATION FOR SPECIFIC LICENSEES Based on the justification provided above, the NRC staff concludes that no further response or regulatory actions associated with the 50.54(f) letter review of Phase 2 of the Near-term Task Force (NTTF) Recommendation 2.1 "Seismic" are required for the following plants:
Clinton Power Station, Unit No. 1 Duane Arnold Energy Center Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Unit 2 R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant River Bend Station, Unit 1 Shearon Harris Nuclear Generating Station, Unit 1 Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 For the above plants, this letter closes out the NRC efforts associated with Phase 1 and Phase 2 of NTTF Recommendation 2.1 "Seismic".

STAFF REVIEW OF HIGH FREQUENCY CONFIRMATION ASSOCIATED WITH REEVALUATED SEISMIC HAZARD IN RESPONSE TO MARCH 12, 2012 50.54(f) REQUEST FOR INFORMATION The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing this letter to inform the power reactor licensees included in Enclosure 2, of the NRC staff's review of the high frequency confirmation letters and concludes that the licensees' assessment was performed consistent with the guidance. This letter also identifies specific licensees that have provided sufficient information to complete the response to the 50. 54(f) request for information and that the staff has also found that no additional regulatory actions associated with Phase 2 of R2. 1 "Seismic" are required.
BACKGROUND By letter dated March 12, 2012 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML12053A340), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued a request for information pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 50, Section 50.54(f) (hereafter referred to as the 50.54(f) letter). The request was issued as part of implementing lessons-learned from the accident at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant. to the 50.54(f) letter requested that licensees reevaluate seismic hazards at their sites using present-day methodologies and guidance. Enclosure 1, Item 4, of the 50.54(f) letter requested that licensees perform a comparison of the ground motion response spectrum (GMRS) and safe shutdown earthquake (SSE); and if the GMRS exceeds the SSE only at higher frequencies information related to the functionality of high frequency sensitive structures, systems and components (SSCs) is requested. Attachment 1, Step 3 of the March 12, 2012, letter further clarified that licensees with high frequency exceedance should provide a confirmation that SSCs, which may be affected by high-frequency ground motion, will maintain their functions important to safety.
By letter dated July 30, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15223A100), the Nuclear Energy Institute submitted an Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) report entitled, High Frequency Program: Application Guidance for Functional Confirmation and Fragility Evaluation (EPRI 3002004396) for NRC review and endorsement. The NRC endorsed the guidance by letter dated September 17, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15218A569), as an acceptable method for licensees to use, in addition to the SPID guidance, when responding to NRC Requested Information Item (4) in Enclosure 1 of the 50.54(f) letter. Furthermore, the letter dated October 27, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15194A015), to licensees established that for facilities with limited exceedance in the high frequency range above plant design bases, submittals are expected by December 31, 2015.
REVIEW OF LICENSEE HIGH FREQUENCY CAPACITY CONFIRMATION By letters dated November and December 20151, to the NRC, licensees submitted for NRC review the limited exceedance high frequency confirmations. The NRC staff review confirmed that licensee-reevaluated seismic hazards meet one of two screening criteria:
- 1. Peak spectral accelerations s 0.2g or
- 2. The GMRS exceedance above the current design-basis is on the order of 10 percent or less of the area under the SSE or Individual Plant Examination of External Events High Confidence of Low Probability of Failure Spectrum (IHS) over the frequency range of exceedance.
The NRC staff confirmed that the following plants met the 3.1.1. "Low Spectral Acceleration Screening" criterion described in EPRI Report 3002004396:
Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2 Duane Arnold Energy Center River Bend Station, Unit 1 Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 The basis for this criterion is the lack of damage observed in actual earthquakes with observed spectral accelerations less than 0.29. Additionally, the EPRI High Frequency Program has shown that shake table testing in the high frequency range of 20 to 40 Hertz (Hz), in general, yields a higher test capacity than testing in the 4 to 16 Hz range for tests of the same control component. Therefore, the NRC staff concludes that sites with a horizontal GMRS high frequency peak spectral acceleration less than 0.2g do not warrant additional evaluations to confirm the functionality of control devices in the high frequency range.
The NRC staff confirmed that the following plants met the 3.1.2 "Limited High Frequency Exceedance Screening" criterion described in EPRI Report 3002004396:
Clinton Power Station, Unit No. 1 Hope Creek Generating Station Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Unit 2 Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant Salem Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1 and 2 Shearon Harris Nuclear Generating Station, Unit 1 Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2 For the high frequency confirmation, this range of exceedance over limited frequency ranges, evaluated using the exceedance area criteria, does not represent a concern and thus does not warrant additional evaluations to confirm the functionality of control devices in the high frequency range.
Based on the NRC staff review of licensee letters, the staff concludes that licensee screening meets the criteria outlined in EPRI Report 3002004396, and thus is acceptable to the staff.
1 Licensee November and December 2015 submittal letters can be found in Enclosure 1.
CLOSURE OF PHASE TWO EVALUATION FOR SPECIFIC LICENSEES Based on the justification provided above, the NRC staff concludes that no further response or regulatory actions associated with the 50.54(f) letter review of Phase 2 of the Near-term Task Force (NTTF) Recommendation 2.1 "Seismic" are required for the following plants:
