Dear Sir or Madam:
On June 6, 2013, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) issued order EA-13-109 [Reference 1] to the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant (JAF). The order was immediately effective and directs JAF to have reliable hardened containment vents capable of operation under severe accident conditions. Specific requirements are outlined in the Enclosure of Reference 1.
JAFP-15-0149 Page 2 of 2 Implementation of order EA-13-109 is divided into two phases. The Overall Integrated Plan for Phase 1 was submitted by letter dated June 30, 2014 [Reference 4], pursuant to EA-13-109 Section IV, Condition D.1. The purpose of this letter is to provide the Phase 2 Overall Integrated Plan, pursuant to EA-13-109 Section IV, Condition D.2, and Section 7.1.4 of Reference 3. Reference 1 requires submission of an Overall Integrated Plan for phase 2 requirements by December 31, 2015. The NRC Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) [Reference 2] was issued in April 2015, which endorses industry guidance document NEI 13-02, Revision 1 [Reference 3], with clarifications and exceptions identified in Reference 2. Reference 3 provides direction regarding the content of this Phase 2 Overall Integrated Plan. The Phase 2 Overall Integrated Plan documented in the Enclosure is an accurate description of modifications and/or strategies needed to satisfy the requirements of NRC Order EA-13-109; however, Entergy has announced plans to cease power operation at JAF [Reference 5]. JAF is still executing the implementation plan; however, based upon Entergy's plan to permanently shut down JAF, compliance with the Order will be affected. Future six (6)-month status reports will be provided as required by Section IV, Condition D.3, of Reference 1, and pursuant to 7.1.5 of Reference 3. This letter contains no new regulatory commitments. If you have any questions regarding this report, please contact Mr. Chris M. Adner, Regulatory Assurance Manager, at (315) 349-6766. I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct; executed on December 29, 2015. Sincerely, Brian R. Sullivan BRS/CMA/mh

James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) Phase 2 Overall Integrated Plan December 2015 Page 2 of 48 Introduction In 1989, the NRC issued Generic Letter 89-16, Installation of a Hardened Wetwell Vent, to all licensees of BWRs with Mark I containments to encourage licensees to voluntarily install a hardened wetwell vent. In response, licensees installed a hardened vent pipe from the suppression pool to some point outside the secondary containment envelope (usually outside the reactor building). Some licensees also installed a hardened vent branch line from the drywell. On March 19, 2013, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Commissioners directed the staff per Staff Requirements Memorandum (SRM) for SECY-12-0157 to require licensees with Mark I and Mark II containments to "upgrade or replace the reliable hardened vents required by Order EA-12-050 with a containment venting system designed and installed to remain functional during severe accident conditions." In response, the NRC issued Order EA-13-109, Issuance of Order to Modifying Licenses with Regard to Reliable Hardened Containment Vents Capable of Operation Under Severe Accidents, June 6, 2013. The Order (EA-13-109) requires that licensees of BWR facilities with Mark I and Mark II containment designs ensure that these facilities have a reliable hardened vent to remove decay heat from the containment, and maintain control of containment pressure within acceptable limits following events that result in the loss of active containment heat removal capability while maintaining the capability to operate under severe accident (SA) conditions resulting from an Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP). The Order requirements are applied in a phased approach where: Phase 1 involves upgrading the venting capabilities from the containment wetwell to provide reliable, severe accident capable hardened vents to assist in preventing core damage and, if necessary, to provide venting capability during severe accident conditions. (Completed no later than startup from the second refueling outage that begins after June 30, 2014, or June 30, 2018, whichever comes first.) Phase 2 involves providing additional protections for severe accident conditions through installation of a reliable, severe accident capable drywell vent system or the development of a reliable containment venting strategy that makes it unlikely that a licensee would need to vent from the containment drywell during severe accident conditions. (Completed no later than startup from the first refueling outage that begins after June 30, 2017, or June 30, 2019, whichever comes first.) The NRC provided an acceptable approach for complying with Order EA-13-109 through Interim Staff Guidance (JLD-ISG-2013-02 issued in November 2013 and JLD-ISG-2015-01 issued in April 2015). The ISG endorses the compliance approach presented in NEI 13-02 Revision 0 and 1, Industry Guidance for Compliance with Order EA-13-109, with clarifications. Except in those cases in which a licensee proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with Order EA-13-109, the NRC staff will use the methods described in the ISGs to evaluate licensee compliance as presented in submittals required in Order EA-13-109. The Order also requires submittal of an overall integrated plan which will provide a description of how the requirements of the Order will be achieved. This document provides the Overall Integrated Plan (OIP) for complying with Order EA-13-109 using the methods described in NEI 13-02 and endorsed by NRC JLD-ISG-2013-02 and JLD-ISG-2015-01. Six month progress reports will be provided consistent with the requirements of Order EA-13-109. The submittals required are: OIP for Phase 1 of EA-13-109 was required to be submitted by Licensees to the NRC by June 30, 2014. The NRC requires periodic (6 month) updates for the Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) actions being taken. The first update for Phase 1, was due December 2014, with the second due June 2015.
James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) Phase 2 Overall Integrated Plan December 2015 Page 3 of 48 OIP for Phase 2 of EA-13-109 is required to be submitted by Licensees to the NRC by December 31, 2015. It is expected the December 2015 six month update for Phase 1 will be combined with the Phase 2 OIP submittal by means of a combined Phase 1 and 2 OIP. Thereafter, the 6 month updates will be for both the Phase 1 and Phase 2 actions until complete, consistent with the requirements of Order EA-13-109. Note: At the Licensees option, the December 2015 six month update for Phase 1 may be independent of the Phase 2 OIP submittal, but will require separate six month updates for Phase 1 and 2 until each phase is in compliance. The Plant venting actions for the EA-13-109, Phase 1 severe accident capable venting scenario can be summarized by the following: The HCVS will be initiated via manual action from either the Main Control Room (MCR) (some plants have a designated Primary Operating Station (POS) that will be treated as the main operating location for this order) or from a Remote Operating Station (ROS) at the appropriate time based on procedural guidance in response to plant conditions from observed or derived symptoms. The vent will utilize Containment Parameters of Pressure and Level from the MCR instrumentation to monitor effectiveness of the venting actions. The vent operation will be monitored by HCVS valve position, temperature, and effluent radiation levels. The HCVS motive force will be monitored and have the capacity to operate for 24 hours with installed equipment. Replenishment of the motive force will be by use of portable equipment once the installed motive force is exhausted. Venting actions will be capable of being maintained for a sustained period of up to 7 days or a shorter time if justified. The Phase 2 actions can be summarized as follows: Utilization of Severe Accident Water Addition (SAWA) to initially inject water into the Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) or Drywell. Utilization of Severe Accident Water Management (SAWM) to control injection and Suppression Pool level to ensure the HCVS (Phase 1) wetwell vent (SAWV) will remain functional for the removal of decay heat from containment. Ensure that the decay heat can be removed from the containment for seven (7) days using the HCVS or describe the alternate method(s) to remove decay heat from the containment from the time the HCVS is no longer functional until alternate means of decay heat removal are established that make it unlikely the drywell vent will be required for DW pressure control. The SAWA and SAWM actions will be manually activated and controlled from areas that are accessible during severe accident conditions. Parameters measured should be Drywell pressure, Suppression Pool level, SAWA flowrate and the HCVS parameters listed above. Alternatively SAWA and a Severe Accident Capable Drywell Vent (SADV) strategy may be implemented to meet Phase 2 of Order EA-13-109.

FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) Phase 2 Overall Integrated Plan December 2015 Page 4 of 48 Part 1: General Integrated Plan Elements and Assumptions Extent to which the guidance, JLD-ISG-2013-02, JLD-ISG-2015-01 and NEI 13-02 (Revision 1), are being followed. Identify any deviations. Include a description of any alternatives to the guidance. A technical justification and basis for the alternative needs to be provided. This will likely require a pre-meeting with the NRC to review the alternative. Ref: JLD-ISG-2013-02, JLD-ISG-2015-01 Compliance will be attained for JAF with no known deviations to the guidelines in JLD-ISG-2013-02, JLD-ISG-2015-01 and NEI 13-02 for each phase as follows: The Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) will be comprised of installed and portable equipment and operating guidance: Severe Accident Wetwell Vent (SAWV) - Permanently installed vent from the Suppression Pool to the top of Reactor Building Severe accident Water Addition (SAWA) - A combination of permanently installed and portable equipment to provide a means to add water to the RPV following a severe accident and monitor system and plant conditions.

James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) Phase 2 Overall Integrated Plan December 2015 Page 5 of 48 Key Site assumptions to implement NEI 13-02 HCVS, Phase 1 and 2 Actions. Provide key assumptions associated with implementation of HCVS Phase 1 and Phase 2 Actions Ref: NEI 13-02, Revision 1, Section 2 NEI 12-06 Revision 0 Mark I/II Generic EA-13-109 Phase 1 and Phase 2 Related Assumptions: Applicable EA-12-049 assumptions: 049-1. Assumed initial plant conditions are as identified in NEI 12-06 section 3.2.1.2 items 1 and 2. 049-2. Assumed initial conditions are as identified in NEI 12-06 section 3.2.1.3 items 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8 049-3. Assumed reactor transient boundary conditions are as identified in NEI 12-06 section 3.2.1.4 items 1, 2, 3 and 4 049-4. No additional events or failures are assumed to occur immediately prior to or during the event, including security events except for failure of RCIC or HPCI. (Reference NEI 12-06 3.2.1.3 item 9) 049-5. At Time=0 the event is initiated and all rods insert and no other event beyond a common site ELAP is occurring at any or all of the units. (NEI 12-06, section 3.2.1.3 item 9 and 3.2.1.4 item 1-4) 049-6. At 60 minutes (time critical at a time greater than 1 hour) an ELAP is declared and actions begin as defined in EA-12-049 compliance 049-7. DC power and distribution can be credited for the duration determined per the EA-12-049 (FLEX) methodology for battery usage (up to 10 hours). This assumption applies to the water addition capability under SAWA/SAWM. The power supply scheme for the HCVS shall be in accordance with EA-13-109 and the applicable guidance. (NEI 12-06, section 3.2.1.3 item 8) 049-8. Deployment resources are assumed to begin arriving at hour 6 and fully staffed by 24 hours 049-9. All activities associated with plant specific EA-12-049 FLEX strategies that are not specific to implementation of the HCVS, including such items as debris removal, communication, notification, SFP level and makeup, security response, opening doors for cooling, and initiating conditions for the event, can be credited as previously evaluated for FLEX. (Refer to assumption 109-02 below for clarity on SAWA)(HCVS-FAQ-11) Applicable EA-13-109 generic assumptions: 109-01. Site response activities associated with EA-13-109 actions are considered to have no access limitations associated with radiological impacts while RPV level is above 2/3 core height (core damage is not expected). This is further addressed in HCVS-FAQ-12 109-02. Portable equipment can supplement the installed equipment after 24 hours provided the portable equipment credited meets the criteria applicable to the HCVS. An example is use of FLEX portable air supply equipment that is credited to recharge air lines for HCVS components after 24 hours. The FLEX portable air supply used must be demonstrated to meet the SA Capable criteria that are defined in NEI 13-02 Section 4.2.4.2 and Appendix D Section D.1.3. This assumption does not apply to Phase 2 SAWA/SAWM because SAWA equipment needs to be connected and placed in service within 8 hours from the time of the loss of RPV injection. (reference HCVS-FAQ-
- 12) 109-03. SFP level is maintained with either on-site or off-site resources such that the SFP does not contribute to the analyzed source term (Reference HCVS-FAQ-07).
109-04. Existing containment components design and testing values are governed by existing plant primary containment criteria (e.g., Appendix J) and are not subject to the testing criteria from NEI 13-02 (reference HCVS-FAQ-05 and NEI 13-02 section 6.2.2). 109-05. Classical design basis evaluations and assumptions are not required when assessing the operation of the HCVS. The reason this is not required is that the order postulates an unsuccessful mitigation of an event such that an ELAP progresses to a severe accident with ex-vessel core debris which classical design basis evaluations are intended to
James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) Phase 2 Overall Integrated Plan December 2015 Page 6 of 48 prevent. (Reference NEI 13-02 section 2.3.1). 109-06. HCVS manual actions that require minimal operator steps and can be performed in the postulated thermal and radiological environment at the location of the step(s) (e.g., load stripping, control switch manipulation, valving-in nitrogen bottles) are acceptable to obtain HCVS venting dedicated functionality. (reference HCVS-FAQ-01) This assumption does not apply to Phase 2 SAWA/SAWM because SAWA equipment needs to be connected and placed in service within 8 hours from the time of the loss of RPV injection and will require more than minimal operator action. 109-07. HCVS dedicated equipment is defined as vent process elements that are required for the HCVS to function in an ELAP event that progresses to core melt ex-vessel. (reference HCVS-FAQ-02 and White Paper HCVS-WP-01). This assumption does not apply to Phase 2 SAWA/SAWM because SAWA equipment is not dedicated to HCVS but shared to support FLEX functions. This is further addressed in HCVS-FAQ-11. 109-08. Use of MAAP Version 4 or higher provides adequate assurance of the plant conditions (e.g., RPV water level, temperatures, etc.) assumed for Order EA-13-109 BDBEE and SA HCVS operation. (reference FLEX MAAP Endorsement ML13190A201) Additional analysis using RELAP5/MOD 3, GOTHIC, PCFLUD, LOCADOSE and SHIELD are acceptable methods for evaluating environmental conditions in areas of the plant provided the specific version utilized is documented in the analysis. MAAP Version 5 was used to develop EPRI Technical Report 3002003301 to support drywell temperature response to SAWA under severe accident conditions. 109-09. NRC Published Accident evaluations (e.g. SOARCA, SECY-12-0157, and NUREG 1465) as related to Order EA-13-109 conditions are acceptable as references. (Reference NEI 13-02 section 8). 109-10. Permanent modifications installed or planned per EA-12-049 are assumed implemented and may be credited for use in EA-13-109 Order response. 109-11. This Overall Integrated Plan is based on Emergency Operating Procedure changes consistent with EPG/SAGs Revision 3 as incorporated per the sites EOP/SAMG procedure change process. This assumption does not apply to Phase 2 SAWM because SAWM is not part of revision 3.(reference to Attachment 2.1.D for SAWM SAMG Changes approved by the BWROG Emergency Procedures Committee) 109-12. Under the postulated scenarios of Order EA-13-109 the Control Room is adequately protected from excessive radiation dose due to its distance and shielding from the reactor (per General Design Criterion (GDC) 19 in 10CFR50 Appendix A) and no further evaluation of its use as the preferred HCVS control location is required provided that the HCVS routing is a sufficient distance away from the MCR or is shielded to minimize impact to the MCR dose. In addition, adequate protective clothing and respiratory protection are available if required to address contamination issues. (reference HCVS-FAQ-01 and HCVS-FAQ-09) 109-13. The suppression pool/wetwell of a BWR Mark I/II containment is considered to be bounded by assuming a saturated environment for the duration of the event response because of the water/steam interactions. 109-14. RPV depressurization is directed by the EPGs in all cases prior to entry into the SAGs. (reference NEI 13-02 Rev 1, §I.1.3) 109-15 The Severe Accident impacts are assumed on one unit only due to the site compliance with NRC Order EA-12-049. However, each BWR Mk I and II under the assumptions of NRC Order EA-13-109 ensure the capability to protect containment exists for each unit. (HCVS-FAQ-1) This is further addressed in HCVS-FAQ-10 Plant Specific HCVS Related Assumptions/Characteristics: None.

Power for an instrument will require the intrinsically safe equipment installed as part of the power sourcing Component reliable and rugged performance (EA-13-109 Section 2.2 / NEI 13-02 Section 5.2, 5.3) HCVS components including instrumentation should be designed, as a minimum, to meet the seismic design requirements of the plant. Components including instrumentation that are not required to be seismically designed by the design basis of the plant should be designed for reliable and rugged performance that is capable of ensuring HCVS functionality following a seismic event. (reference ISG-JLD-201201 and ISG-JLD-2012-03 for seismic details.) The components including instrumentation external to a seismic category 1 (or equivalent building or enclosure should be designed to meet the external hazards that screen-in for the plant as defined in guidance NEI 12-06 as endorsed by JLD-ISG-12-01 for Order EA-12-049.

James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) Phase 2 Overall Integrated Plan December 2015 Page 17 of 48 Part 3: Boundary Conditions for EA-13-109, Option B.2 General: Licensees that use Option B.1 of EA-13-109 (SA Capable DW Vent without SAWA) must develop their own OIP. This template does not provide guidance for that option. Licensees using Option B.2 of EA-13-109 (SAWA and SAWM or 545°F SADW Vent (SADV) with SAWA) may use this template for their OIP submittal. Both SAWM and SADV require the use of SAWA and may not be done independently. The HCVS actions under Part 2 apply to all of the following: This Part is divided into the following sections: 3.1: Severe Accident Water Addition (SAWA) 3.1.A: Severe Accident Water Management (SAWM) 3.1.B: Severe Accident DW Vent (545 deg F) Provide a sequence of events and identify any time constraint required for success including the basis for the time constraint. SAWA and SAWM or SADV Actions supporting SA conditions that have a time constraint to be successful should be identified with a technical basis and a justification provided that the time can reasonably be met (for example, a walkthrough of deployment). Actions already identified under the HCVS part of this template need not be repeated here. The time to establish the water addition capability into the RPV or DW should be less than 8 hours from the onset of the loss of all injection sources. Electrical generators satisfying the requirements of EA-12-049 may be credited for powering components and instrumentation needed to establish a flow path. Time Sensitive Actions (TSAs) for the purpose of SAWA are those actions needed to transport, connect and start portable equipment needed to provide SAWA flow or provide power to SAWA components in the flow path between the connection point and the RPV or drywell. Actions needed to establish power to SAWA instrumentation should also be included as TSAs. Ref: NEI 13-02 Section 6.1.1.7.4.1, I.1.4, I.1.5 The operation of the HCVS using SAWA and SAWM/SADV will be designed to minimize the reliance on operator actions in response to hazards listed in Part 1. Initial operator actions will be completed by plant personnel and will include the capability for remote-manual initiation from the HCVS Operating Station and locally at the Screenwell Building. Timelines (see attachments 2.1.A and 2.1.C for SAWA/ SAWM) were developed to identify required operator response times and actions. The timelines are an expansion of Attachment 2A and begin either as core damage occurs (SAWA) or after initial SAWA injection is established and as flowrate is adjusted for option B.2 (SAWM). The timelines do not assume the core is ex-vessel and the actions taken are appropriate for both in-vessel and ex-vessel core damage conditions.

Action being taken within the Reactor Building under EA-12-049 conditions after RPV level lowers to 2/3 core height must be evaluated for radiological conditions assuming permanent containment shielding remains intact. (HCVS-FAQ-12) All other actions required are assumed to be in-line with the FLEX timeline submitted in accordance with the EA-12-049 requirements. Less than 8 Hours - Initiate SAWA flow to the RPV. Having the HCVS in service will assist in minimizing the peak DW pressure during the initial cooling conditions provided by SAWA. Severe Accident Operation
James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) Phase 2 Overall Integrated Plan December 2015 Page 19 of 48 Part 3.1: Boundary Conditions for SAWA Determine operating requirements for SAWA, such as may be used in an ELAP scenario to mitigate core damage. Ref: EA-13-109 Attachment 2, Section B.2.2, B.2.3 / NEI 13-02 Section I.1.6, I.1.4.4 It is anticipated that SAWA will be used in Severe Accident Events based on presumed failure of injection systems or presumed failure to implement an injection system in a timely manner leading to core damage. This does not preclude the use of the SAWA system to supplement or replace the EA-12-049 injection systems if desired. SAWA will consist of both portable and installed equipment. The motive force equipment needed to support the SAWA strategy shall be available prior to t=8 hours from the loss of injection (assumed at T=0). The SAWA flow path includes methods to minimize exposure of personnel to radioactive liquids / gases and potentially flammable conditions by inclusion of backflow prevention. RHR LPCI injection mode has installed ECCS check valves to prevent backflow (10AOV-68A) qualified for accident scenarios. Description of SAWA actions for first 24 hours: T<1 hr: No evaluation required for actions inside the Reactor Building for SAWA. No expected actions inside the Reactor Building for SAWA. T=1 - 8 hr: Evaluation of core gap and early in vessel release impact to Reactor Building access for SAWA actions is required. It is assumed that Reactor Building access is limited due to the source term at this time unless otherwise noted. (Refer to HCVS-FAQ-12 for actions in T=1-7 hr). Manually open and close valves within the Reactor Building to establish flow path to RPV. Table 3.1, Step

James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) Phase 2 Overall Integrated Plan December 2015 Page 20 of 48 Part 3.1: Boundary Conditions for SAWA SAWA Operation is the same for the full period of sustained operation. If SAWM is employed flow rates will be directed to preserve the availability of the HCVS wetwell vent (see 3.1.A). Details: Details of Design Characteristics/Performance Specifications SAWA shall be capable of providing a RPV injection rate of 361 gpm within 8 hours of a loss of all RPV injection following an ELAP/Severe Accident. SAWA shall meet the design characteristics of the HCVS with the exception of the dedicated 24 hour power source. Hydrogen mitigation is provided by backflow prevention for SAWA. Ref: EA-13-109 Attachment 2, Section B.2.1, B.2.2, B.2.3/ NEI 13-02 Section I.1.4 Equipment Locations/Controls/Instrumentation The locations of the SAWA equipment and controls, as well as ingress and egress paths will be evaluated for the expected severe accident conditions (temperature, humidity, radiation) for the Sustained Operating period. Equipment will be evaluated to remain operational throughout the Sustained Operating period. Personnel exposure and temperature / humidity conditions for operation of SAWA equipment will not exceed the limits for ERO dose and plant safety guidelines for temperature and humidity. The flow path will be from the FLEX (diesel fire) pump suction in Lake Ontario through the FLEX pumps with a common outlet including a flow indicator that will be used for FLEX and HCVS Phase 2. The indicator will be monitoring the flow that is provided to the RHR service water FLEX header. The monitored water flow rate will pass through the RHRSW piping to the Reactor Building where it will connect with the RHR system by opening MOVs from the MCR that interconnect the systems. The flow will then be directed into the RPV via the LPCI injection valves. Cross flow into other portions of the RHR system will be isolated by manually closing the required MOVs using the available handwheels. DW pressure and Suppression Pool level will be monitored and flow rate will be adjusted by use of the FLEX pump control valve at the Screenwell Building. Communication will be established between the MCR and the FLEX pump location. The FLEX DGs are located in either the west side of the DG Building or north side of the Screenwell Building, which is significantly away from the discharge of the HCVS above the Reactor Building. Refueling of the FLEX DG will be accomplished from the EDG fuel oil tanks as described in the EA-12-049 compliance documents. The Screenwell Building is a significant distance from the discharge of the HCVS above the Reactor Building. Evaluations will be performed for projected SA conditions (radiation / temperature) to indicate that personnel can complete the initial and support activities without exceeding the ERO-allowable dose for equipment operation or site safety standards. (reference HCVS-WP-02, Plant-Specific Dose Analysis for the Venting of Containment during the SA Conditions) Electrical equipment and instrumentation will be powered from the existing station batteries, and from AC distribution systems that are powered from the EA-12-049 generator(s). The battery chargers are also powered from the EA-12-049 generator(s) to maintain the battery capacities during the Sustained Operating period. The indications include (*minimum required):

Temporary/Portable equipment shall be qualified and stored to the same requirements as FLEX equipment as specified in NEI 12-06 Rev 0. SAWA components are not required to meet NEI 13-02, Table 2-1 design conditions. Notes: None Part 3.1.A: Boundary Conditions for SAWA/SAWM Time periods for the maintaining SAWM actions such that the WW vent remains available SAWM Actions supporting SA conditions that have a time constraint to be successful should be identified with a technical basis and a justification provided that the time can reasonably be met (for example, a walkthrough of deployment). Actions already identified under the HCVS part of this template need not be repeated here. There are three time periods for maintaining SAWM actions such that the WW vent remains available to remove decay heat from the containment: SAWM can be maintained for >7 days without the need for a drywell vent to maintain pressure below PCPL or containment design pressure, whichever is lower. o Under this approach, no detail concerning plant modifications or procedures is necessary with respect to how alternate containment heat removal will be provided. SAWM can be maintained for at least 72 hours, but less than 7 days before DW pressure reaches PCPL or design pressure, whichever is lower. o Under this approach, a functional description is required of how alternate containment heat removal might be established before DW pressure reaches PCPL or design pressure whichever is lower. Under this approach, physical plant modifications and detailed procedures are not necessary, but written descriptions of possible approaches for achieving alternate containment heat removal and pressure control will be provided. SAWM can be maintained for <72 hours SAWM strategy can be implemented but for less than 72 hours before DW pressure reaches PCPL or design pressure whichever is lower. o Under this approach, a functional description is required of how alternate containment heat removal might be established before DW pressure reaches PCPL or design pressure whichever is lower. Under this approach, physical plant modifications and detailed procedures are required to be implemented to insure achieving alternate containment heat removal and pressure control will be provided for the sustained operating period. Ref: NEI 13-02 Appendix C.7 SAWM can be maintained for >7 days without the need for a drywell vent to maintain pressure below PCPL.
James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) Phase 2 Overall Integrated Plan December 2015 Page 23 of 48 Part 3.1: Boundary Conditions for SAWA Basis for SAWM time frame Option 1 - SAWM can be maintained greater than or equal to 7 days: The reference plant is the same containment and RPV design (BRW4, Mark I) and has greater generating capacity. In addition, the available JAF Torus freeboard bounds that of the reference plant. Therefore, James A. FitzPatrick is bounded by the evaluations performed in BWROG TP-2015-008 and representative of the reference plant in NEI 13-02 figures C-2 through C-6. Instrumentation relied upon for SAWM operations is Drywell Pressure, Torus level and SAWA flow. This instrumentation will be initially powered by the station DC batteries and will be repowered by the FLEX (EA-12-049) generator, which is placed in-service prior to RPV breach. The FLEX DG will provide power throughout the Sustained Operation period (7 days). DW Temperature monitoring is not a requirement for compliance with Phase 2 of the Order, but some knowledge of temperature characteristics provides information for the operation staff to evaluate plant conditions under a severe accident and provide confirmation to adjust SAWA flow rates. (C.7.1.4.2, C.8.3.1) Torus level indication is maintained throughout the Sustained Operation period, so the HCVS remains in-service. The time to reach the level at which the WW vent must be secured is >7days using SAWM flowrates (C.6.3, C.7.1.4.3)

SAWM will use the installed instrumentation to monitor and adjust the flow from SAWA to control the pump discharge to deliver flowrates applicable to the SAWM strategy. Once the SAWA initial flow rate has been established for 4 hours, the flow will be reduced while monitoring DW pressure and Torus level. SAWM flowrate can be lowered to maintain containment parameters and preserve the WW vent path. SAWM will be capable of injection for the period of Sustained Operation. Greater Than 24 Hour Coping Detail Provide a general description of the SAWM actions for greater than 24 hours using portable and installed equipment including station modifications that are proposed.

Describe training plan List training plans for affected organizations or describe the plan for training development Ref: EA-13-109 Section 3.2 / NEI 13-02 Section 6.1.3 Personnel expected to perform direct execution of the HCVS/SAWA/SAWM actions will receive necessary training in the use of plant procedures for system operations when normal and backup power is available and during ELAP conditions. The training will be refreshed on a periodic basis and as any changes occur to the HCVS/SAWA/SAWM actions, systems or strategies. Training content and frequency will be established using the Systematic Approach to Training (SAT) process. Identify how the drills and exercise parameters will be met. Alignment with NEI 13-06 and 14-01 as codified in NTTF Recommendation 8 and 9 rulemaking The Licensee should demonstrate use of the HCVS/SAWA/SAWM system in drills, tabletops, or exercises as follows: Hardened containment vent operation on normal power sources (no ELAP). During FLEX demonstrations (as required by EA-12-049: Hardened containment vent operation on backup power and from primary or alternate location during conditions of ELAP/loss of UHS with no core damage. System use is for containment heat removal AND containment pressure control. HCVS operation on backup power and from primary or alternate location during conditions of ELAP/loss of UHS with core damage. System use is for containment heat removal AND containment pressure control with potential for combustible gases (Demonstration may be in conjunction with SAG change). Operation for sustained period with SAWA and SAWM to provide decay heat removal and containment pressure control. Ref: EA-13-109 Section 3.1 / NEI 13-02 Section 6.1.3 The site will utilize the guidance provided in NEI 13-06 and 14-01 for guidance related to drills, tabletops, or exercises for HCVS operation. In addition, the site will integrate these requirements with compliance to any rulemaking resulting from the NTTF Recommendations 8 and 9. Describe maintenance plan: Describe the elements of the maintenance plan The maintenance program should ensure that the HCVS/SAWA/SAWM equipment reliability is being achieved in a manner similar to that required for FLEX equipment. Standard industry templates (e.g., EPRI) and associated bases may be developed to define specific maintenance and testing. o Periodic testing and frequency should be determined based on equipment type, expected use and manufacturers recommendations (further details are provided in Part 6 of this document). o Testing should be done to verify design requirements and/or basis. The basis should be documented and deviations from vendor recommendations and applicable standards should be justified. o Preventive maintenance should be determined based on equipment type and expected use. The basis should be documented and deviations from vendor recommendations and applicable standards should be justified.
James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) Phase 2 Overall Integrated Plan December 2015 Page 30 of 48 Part 4: Programmatic Controls, Training, Drills and Maintenance o Existing work control processes may be used to control maintenance and testing. HCVS/SAWA permanent installed equipment should be maintained in a manner that is consistent with assuring that it performs its function when required. o HCVS/SAWA permanently installed equipment should be subject to maintenance and testing guidance provided to verify proper function. HCVS/SAWA non-installed equipment should be stored and maintained in a manner that is consistent with assuring that it does not degrade over long periods of storage and that it is accessible for periodic maintenance and testing. Ref: EA-13-109 Section 1.2.13 / NEI 13-02 Section 5.4, 6.2 James A. FitzPatrick will utilize the standard EPRI industry PM process (Similar to the Preventive Maintenance Basis Database) for establishing the maintenance calibration and testing actions for HCVS/SAWA/SAWM components. The control program will include maintenance guidance, testing procedures and frequencies established based on type of equipment and considerations made within the EPRI guidelines. James A. FitzPatrick will implement the following operation, testing and inspection requirements for the HCVS and SAWA to ensure reliable operation of the system. Table 4-1: Testing and Inspection Requirements Description Frequency Cycle the HCVS and installed SAWA valves1 and the interfacing system boundary valves not used to maintain containment integrity during Mode 1, 2 and 3. For HCVS valves, this test may be performed concurrently with the control logic test described below.

SAMGs are symptom based guidelines and therefore address a wide variety of possible plant conditions and capabilities while these changes are intended to accommodate those specific conditions assumed in Order EA-13-109. The changes will be made in a way that maintains the use of SAMGs in a symptom based mode while at the same time addressing those conditions that may exist under extended loss of AC power (ELAP) conditions with significant core damage including ex-vessel core debris. Actual Approved Language that will be incorporated into site SAMG* Cautions: Addressing the possible plant response associated with adding water to hot core debris and the resulting pressurization of the primary containment by rapid steam generation. Addressing the plant impact that raising Torus water level above the elevation of the suppression chamber vent opening elevation will flood the suppression chamber vent path. Priorities: With significant core damage and RPV breach, SAMGs prioritize the preservation of primary containment integrity while limiting radioactivity releases as follows: Core debris in the primary containment is stabilized by water addition (SAWA) Primary containment pressure is controlled below the Primary Containment Pressure Limit (Wetwell venting) Water addition is managed to preserve the Mark I/II suppression chamber vent paths, thereby retaining the benefits of Torus scrubbing and minimizing the likelihood of radioactivity and hydrogen release into the secondary containment (SAWM) Methods: Identify systems and capabilities to add water to the RPV or drywell, with the following generic guidance: Use controlled injection if possible. Inject into the RPV if possible. Maintain injection from external sources of water as low as possible to preserve suppression chamber vent capability.
- Actual language may vary by acceptable site procedure standards, but intent and structure should follow this guidance.

Dear Sir or Madam:
On June 6, 2013, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) issued order EA-13-109 [Reference 1] to the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant (JAF). The order was immediately effective and directs JAF to have reliable hardened containment vents capable of operation under severe accident conditions. Specific requirements are outlined in the Enclosure of Reference 1.
JAFP-15-0149 Page 2 of 2 Implementation of order EA-13-109 is divided into two phases. The Overall Integrated Plan for Phase 1 was submitted by letter dated June 30, 2014 [Reference 4], pursuant to EA-13-109 Section IV, Condition D.1. The purpose of this letter is to provide the Phase 2 Overall Integrated Plan, pursuant to EA-13-109 Section IV, Condition D.2, and Section 7.1.4 of Reference 3. Reference 1 requires submission of an Overall Integrated Plan for phase 2 requirements by December 31, 2015. The NRC Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) [Reference 2] was issued in April 2015, which endorses industry guidance document NEI 13-02, Revision 1 [Reference 3], with clarifications and exceptions identified in Reference 2. Reference 3 provides direction regarding the content of this Phase 2 Overall Integrated Plan. The Phase 2 Overall Integrated Plan documented in the Enclosure is an accurate description of modifications and/or strategies needed to satisfy the requirements of NRC Order EA-13-109; however, Entergy has announced plans to cease power operation at JAF [Reference 5]. JAF is still executing the implementation plan; however, based upon Entergy's plan to permanently shut down JAF, compliance with the Order will be affected. Future six (6)-month status reports will be provided as required by Section IV, Condition D.3, of Reference 1, and pursuant to 7.1.5 of Reference 3. This letter contains no new regulatory commitments. If you have any questions regarding this report, please contact Mr. Chris M. Adner, Regulatory Assurance Manager, at (315) 349-6766. I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct; executed on December 29, 2015. Sincerely, Brian R. Sullivan BRS/CMA/mh

James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) Phase 2 Overall Integrated Plan December 2015 Page 2 of 48 Introduction In 1989, the NRC issued Generic Letter 89-16, Installation of a Hardened Wetwell Vent, to all licensees of BWRs with Mark I containments to encourage licensees to voluntarily install a hardened wetwell vent. In response, licensees installed a hardened vent pipe from the suppression pool to some point outside the secondary containment envelope (usually outside the reactor building). Some licensees also installed a hardened vent branch line from the drywell. On March 19, 2013, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Commissioners directed the staff per Staff Requirements Memorandum (SRM) for SECY-12-0157 to require licensees with Mark I and Mark II containments to "upgrade or replace the reliable hardened vents required by Order EA-12-050 with a containment venting system designed and installed to remain functional during severe accident conditions." In response, the NRC issued Order EA-13-109, Issuance of Order to Modifying Licenses with Regard to Reliable Hardened Containment Vents Capable of Operation Under Severe Accidents, June 6, 2013. The Order (EA-13-109) requires that licensees of BWR facilities with Mark I and Mark II containment designs ensure that these facilities have a reliable hardened vent to remove decay heat from the containment, and maintain control of containment pressure within acceptable limits following events that result in the loss of active containment heat removal capability while maintaining the capability to operate under severe accident (SA) conditions resulting from an Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP). The Order requirements are applied in a phased approach where: Phase 1 involves upgrading the venting capabilities from the containment wetwell to provide reliable, severe accident capable hardened vents to assist in preventing core damage and, if necessary, to provide venting capability during severe accident conditions. (Completed no later than startup from the second refueling outage that begins after June 30, 2014, or June 30, 2018, whichever comes first.) Phase 2 involves providing additional protections for severe accident conditions through installation of a reliable, severe accident capable drywell vent system or the development of a reliable containment venting strategy that makes it unlikely that a licensee would need to vent from the containment drywell during severe accident conditions. (Completed no later than startup from the first refueling outage that begins after June 30, 2017, or June 30, 2019, whichever comes first.) The NRC provided an acceptable approach for complying with Order EA-13-109 through Interim Staff Guidance (JLD-ISG-2013-02 issued in November 2013 and JLD-ISG-2015-01 issued in April 2015). The ISG endorses the compliance approach presented in NEI 13-02 Revision 0 and 1, Industry Guidance for Compliance with Order EA-13-109, with clarifications. Except in those cases in which a licensee proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with Order EA-13-109, the NRC staff will use the methods described in the ISGs to evaluate licensee compliance as presented in submittals required in Order EA-13-109. The Order also requires submittal of an overall integrated plan which will provide a description of how the requirements of the Order will be achieved. This document provides the Overall Integrated Plan (OIP) for complying with Order EA-13-109 using the methods described in NEI 13-02 and endorsed by NRC JLD-ISG-2013-02 and JLD-ISG-2015-01. Six month progress reports will be provided consistent with the requirements of Order EA-13-109. The submittals required are: OIP for Phase 1 of EA-13-109 was required to be submitted by Licensees to the NRC by June 30, 2014. The NRC requires periodic (6 month) updates for the Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) actions being taken. The first update for Phase 1, was due December 2014, with the second due June 2015.
James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) Phase 2 Overall Integrated Plan December 2015 Page 3 of 48 OIP for Phase 2 of EA-13-109 is required to be submitted by Licensees to the NRC by December 31, 2015. It is expected the December 2015 six month update for Phase 1 will be combined with the Phase 2 OIP submittal by means of a combined Phase 1 and 2 OIP. Thereafter, the 6 month updates will be for both the Phase 1 and Phase 2 actions until complete, consistent with the requirements of Order EA-13-109. Note: At the Licensees option, the December 2015 six month update for Phase 1 may be independent of the Phase 2 OIP submittal, but will require separate six month updates for Phase 1 and 2 until each phase is in compliance. The Plant venting actions for the EA-13-109, Phase 1 severe accident capable venting scenario can be summarized by the following: The HCVS will be initiated via manual action from either the Main Control Room (MCR) (some plants have a designated Primary Operating Station (POS) that will be treated as the main operating location for this order) or from a Remote Operating Station (ROS) at the appropriate time based on procedural guidance in response to plant conditions from observed or derived symptoms. The vent will utilize Containment Parameters of Pressure and Level from the MCR instrumentation to monitor effectiveness of the venting actions. The vent operation will be monitored by HCVS valve position, temperature, and effluent radiation levels. The HCVS motive force will be monitored and have the capacity to operate for 24 hours with installed equipment. Replenishment of the motive force will be by use of portable equipment once the installed motive force is exhausted. Venting actions will be capable of being maintained for a sustained period of up to 7 days or a shorter time if justified. The Phase 2 actions can be summarized as follows: Utilization of Severe Accident Water Addition (SAWA) to initially inject water into the Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) or Drywell. Utilization of Severe Accident Water Management (SAWM) to control injection and Suppression Pool level to ensure the HCVS (Phase 1) wetwell vent (SAWV) will remain functional for the removal of decay heat from containment. Ensure that the decay heat can be removed from the containment for seven (7) days using the HCVS or describe the alternate method(s) to remove decay heat from the containment from the time the HCVS is no longer functional until alternate means of decay heat removal are established that make it unlikely the drywell vent will be required for DW pressure control. The SAWA and SAWM actions will be manually activated and controlled from areas that are accessible during severe accident conditions. Parameters measured should be Drywell pressure, Suppression Pool level, SAWA flowrate and the HCVS parameters listed above. Alternatively SAWA and a Severe Accident Capable Drywell Vent (SADV) strategy may be implemented to meet Phase 2 of Order EA-13-109.

James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) Phase 2 Overall Integrated Plan December 2015 Page 5 of 48 Key Site assumptions to implement NEI 13-02 HCVS, Phase 1 and 2 Actions. Provide key assumptions associated with implementation of HCVS Phase 1 and Phase 2 Actions Ref: NEI 13-02, Revision 1, Section 2 NEI 12-06 Revision 0 Mark I/II Generic EA-13-109 Phase 1 and Phase 2 Related Assumptions: Applicable EA-12-049 assumptions: 049-1. Assumed initial plant conditions are as identified in NEI 12-06 section 3.2.1.2 items 1 and 2. 049-2. Assumed initial conditions are as identified in NEI 12-06 section 3.2.1.3 items 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8 049-3. Assumed reactor transient boundary conditions are as identified in NEI 12-06 section 3.2.1.4 items 1, 2, 3 and 4 049-4. No additional events or failures are assumed to occur immediately prior to or during the event, including security events except for failure of RCIC or HPCI. (Reference NEI 12-06 3.2.1.3 item 9) 049-5. At Time=0 the event is initiated and all rods insert and no other event beyond a common site ELAP is occurring at any or all of the units. (NEI 12-06, section 3.2.1.3 item 9 and 3.2.1.4 item 1-4) 049-6. At 60 minutes (time critical at a time greater than 1 hour) an ELAP is declared and actions begin as defined in EA-12-049 compliance 049-7. DC power and distribution can be credited for the duration determined per the EA-12-049 (FLEX) methodology for battery usage (up to 10 hours). This assumption applies to the water addition capability under SAWA/SAWM. The power supply scheme for the HCVS shall be in accordance with EA-13-109 and the applicable guidance. (NEI 12-06, section 3.2.1.3 item 8) 049-8. Deployment resources are assumed to begin arriving at hour 6 and fully staffed by 24 hours 049-9. All activities associated with plant specific EA-12-049 FLEX strategies that are not specific to implementation of the HCVS, including such items as debris removal, communication, notification, SFP level and makeup, security response, opening doors for cooling, and initiating conditions for the event, can be credited as previously evaluated for FLEX. (Refer to assumption 109-02 below for clarity on SAWA)(HCVS-FAQ-11) Applicable EA-13-109 generic assumptions: 109-01. Site response activities associated with EA-13-109 actions are considered to have no access limitations associated with radiological impacts while RPV level is above 2/3 core height (core damage is not expected). This is further addressed in HCVS-FAQ-12 109-02. Portable equipment can supplement the installed equipment after 24 hours provided the portable equipment credited meets the criteria applicable to the HCVS. An example is use of FLEX portable air supply equipment that is credited to recharge air lines for HCVS components after 24 hours. The FLEX portable air supply used must be demonstrated to meet the SA Capable criteria that are defined in NEI 13-02 Section 4.2.4.2 and Appendix D Section D.1.3. This assumption does not apply to Phase 2 SAWA/SAWM because SAWA equipment needs to be connected and placed in service within 8 hours from the time of the loss of RPV injection. (reference HCVS-FAQ-
- 12) 109-03. SFP level is maintained with either on-site or off-site resources such that the SFP does not contribute to the analyzed source term (Reference HCVS-FAQ-07).
109-04. Existing containment components design and testing values are governed by existing plant primary containment criteria (e.g., Appendix J) and are not subject to the testing criteria from NEI 13-02 (reference HCVS-FAQ-05 and NEI 13-02 section 6.2.2). 109-05. Classical design basis evaluations and assumptions are not required when assessing the operation of the HCVS. The reason this is not required is that the order postulates an unsuccessful mitigation of an event such that an ELAP progresses to a severe accident with ex-vessel core debris which classical design basis evaluations are intended to
James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) Phase 2 Overall Integrated Plan December 2015 Page 6 of 48 prevent. (Reference NEI 13-02 section 2.3.1). 109-06. HCVS manual actions that require minimal operator steps and can be performed in the postulated thermal and radiological environment at the location of the step(s) (e.g., load stripping, control switch manipulation, valving-in nitrogen bottles) are acceptable to obtain HCVS venting dedicated functionality. (reference HCVS-FAQ-01) This assumption does not apply to Phase 2 SAWA/SAWM because SAWA equipment needs to be connected and placed in service within 8 hours from the time of the loss of RPV injection and will require more than minimal operator action. 109-07. HCVS dedicated equipment is defined as vent process elements that are required for the HCVS to function in an ELAP event that progresses to core melt ex-vessel. (reference HCVS-FAQ-02 and White Paper HCVS-WP-01). This assumption does not apply to Phase 2 SAWA/SAWM because SAWA equipment is not dedicated to HCVS but shared to support FLEX functions. This is further addressed in HCVS-FAQ-11. 109-08. Use of MAAP Version 4 or higher provides adequate assurance of the plant conditions (e.g., RPV water level, temperatures, etc.) assumed for Order EA-13-109 BDBEE and SA HCVS operation. (reference FLEX MAAP Endorsement ML13190A201) Additional analysis using RELAP5/MOD 3, GOTHIC, PCFLUD, LOCADOSE and SHIELD are acceptable methods for evaluating environmental conditions in areas of the plant provided the specific version utilized is documented in the analysis. MAAP Version 5 was used to develop EPRI Technical Report 3002003301 to support drywell temperature response to SAWA under severe accident conditions. 109-09. NRC Published Accident evaluations (e.g. SOARCA, SECY-12-0157, and NUREG 1465) as related to Order EA-13-109 conditions are acceptable as references. (Reference NEI 13-02 section 8). 109-10. Permanent modifications installed or planned per EA-12-049 are assumed implemented and may be credited for use in EA-13-109 Order response. 109-11. This Overall Integrated Plan is based on Emergency Operating Procedure changes consistent with EPG/SAGs Revision 3 as incorporated per the sites EOP/SAMG procedure change process. This assumption does not apply to Phase 2 SAWM because SAWM is not part of revision 3.(reference to Attachment 2.1.D for SAWM SAMG Changes approved by the BWROG Emergency Procedures Committee) 109-12. Under the postulated scenarios of Order EA-13-109 the Control Room is adequately protected from excessive radiation dose due to its distance and shielding from the reactor (per General Design Criterion (GDC) 19 in 10CFR50 Appendix A) and no further evaluation of its use as the preferred HCVS control location is required provided that the HCVS routing is a sufficient distance away from the MCR or is shielded to minimize impact to the MCR dose. In addition, adequate protective clothing and respiratory protection are available if required to address contamination issues. (reference HCVS-FAQ-01 and HCVS-FAQ-09) 109-13. The suppression pool/wetwell of a BWR Mark I/II containment is considered to be bounded by assuming a saturated environment for the duration of the event response because of the water/steam interactions. 109-14. RPV depressurization is directed by the EPGs in all cases prior to entry into the SAGs. (reference NEI 13-02 Rev 1, §I.1.3) 109-15 The Severe Accident impacts are assumed on one unit only due to the site compliance with NRC Order EA-12-049. However, each BWR Mk I and II under the assumptions of NRC Order EA-13-109 ensure the capability to protect containment exists for each unit. (HCVS-FAQ-1) This is further addressed in HCVS-FAQ-10 Plant Specific HCVS Related Assumptions/Characteristics: None.

(reference ISG-JLD-201201 and ISG-JLD-2012-03 for seismic details.) The components including instrumentation external to a seismic category 1 (or equivalent building or enclosure should be designed to meet the external hazards that screen-in for the plant as defined in guidance NEI 12-06 as endorsed by JLD-ISG-12-01 for Order EA-12-049.

James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) Phase 2 Overall Integrated Plan December 2015 Page 17 of 48 Part 3: Boundary Conditions for EA-13-109, Option B.2 General: Licensees that use Option B.1 of EA-13-109 (SA Capable DW Vent without SAWA) must develop their own OIP. This template does not provide guidance for that option. Licensees using Option B.2 of EA-13-109 (SAWA and SAWM or 545°F SADW Vent (SADV) with SAWA) may use this template for their OIP submittal. Both SAWM and SADV require the use of SAWA and may not be done independently. The HCVS actions under Part 2 apply to all of the following: This Part is divided into the following sections: 3.1: Severe Accident Water Addition (SAWA) 3.1.A: Severe Accident Water Management (SAWM) 3.1.B: Severe Accident DW Vent (545 deg F) Provide a sequence of events and identify any time constraint required for success including the basis for the time constraint. SAWA and SAWM or SADV Actions supporting SA conditions that have a time constraint to be successful should be identified with a technical basis and a justification provided that the time can reasonably be met (for example, a walkthrough of deployment). Actions already identified under the HCVS part of this template need not be repeated here. The time to establish the water addition capability into the RPV or DW should be less than 8 hours from the onset of the loss of all injection sources. Electrical generators satisfying the requirements of EA-12-049 may be credited for powering components and instrumentation needed to establish a flow path. Time Sensitive Actions (TSAs) for the purpose of SAWA are those actions needed to transport, connect and start portable equipment needed to provide SAWA flow or provide power to SAWA components in the flow path between the connection point and the RPV or drywell. Actions needed to establish power to SAWA instrumentation should also be included as TSAs. Ref: NEI 13-02 Section 6.1.1.7.4.1, I.1.4, I.1.5 The operation of the HCVS using SAWA and SAWM/SADV will be designed to minimize the reliance on operator actions in response to hazards listed in Part 1. Initial operator actions will be completed by plant personnel and will include the capability for remote-manual initiation from the HCVS Operating Station and locally at the Screenwell Building. Timelines (see attachments 2.1.A and 2.1.C for SAWA/ SAWM) were developed to identify required operator response times and actions. The timelines are an expansion of Attachment 2A and begin either as core damage occurs (SAWA) or after initial SAWA injection is established and as flowrate is adjusted for option B.2 (SAWM). The timelines do not assume the core is ex-vessel and the actions taken are appropriate for both in-vessel and ex-vessel core damage conditions.

Action being taken within the Reactor Building under EA-12-049 conditions after RPV level lowers to 2/3 core height must be evaluated for radiological conditions assuming permanent containment shielding remains intact. (HCVS-FAQ-12) All other actions required are assumed to be in-line with the FLEX timeline submitted in accordance with the EA-12-049 requirements. Less than 8 Hours - Initiate SAWA flow to the RPV. Having the HCVS in service will assist in minimizing the peak DW pressure during the initial cooling conditions provided by SAWA. Severe Accident Operation
James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) Phase 2 Overall Integrated Plan December 2015 Page 19 of 48 Part 3.1: Boundary Conditions for SAWA Determine operating requirements for SAWA, such as may be used in an ELAP scenario to mitigate core damage. Ref: EA-13-109 Attachment 2, Section B.2.2, B.2.3 / NEI 13-02 Section I.1.6, I.1.4.4 It is anticipated that SAWA will be used in Severe Accident Events based on presumed failure of injection systems or presumed failure to implement an injection system in a timely manner leading to core damage. This does not preclude the use of the SAWA system to supplement or replace the EA-12-049 injection systems if desired. SAWA will consist of both portable and installed equipment. The motive force equipment needed to support the SAWA strategy shall be available prior to t=8 hours from the loss of injection (assumed at T=0). The SAWA flow path includes methods to minimize exposure of personnel to radioactive liquids / gases and potentially flammable conditions by inclusion of backflow prevention. RHR LPCI injection mode has installed ECCS check valves to prevent backflow (10AOV-68A) qualified for accident scenarios. Description of SAWA actions for first 24 hours: T<1 hr: No evaluation required for actions inside the Reactor Building for SAWA. No expected actions inside the Reactor Building for SAWA. T=1 - 8 hr: Evaluation of core gap and early in vessel release impact to Reactor Building access for SAWA actions is required. It is assumed that Reactor Building access is limited due to the source term at this time unless otherwise noted. (Refer to HCVS-FAQ-12 for actions in T=1-7 hr). Manually open and close valves within the Reactor Building to establish flow path to RPV. Table 3.1, Step

James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) Phase 2 Overall Integrated Plan December 2015 Page 20 of 48 Part 3.1: Boundary Conditions for SAWA SAWA Operation is the same for the full period of sustained operation. If SAWM is employed flow rates will be directed to preserve the availability of the HCVS wetwell vent (see 3.1.A). Details: Details of Design Characteristics/Performance Specifications SAWA shall be capable of providing a RPV injection rate of 361 gpm within 8 hours of a loss of all RPV injection following an ELAP/Severe Accident. SAWA shall meet the design characteristics of the HCVS with the exception of the dedicated 24 hour power source. Hydrogen mitigation is provided by backflow prevention for SAWA. Ref: EA-13-109 Attachment 2, Section B.2.1, B.2.2, B.2.3/ NEI 13-02 Section I.1.4 Equipment Locations/Controls/Instrumentation The locations of the SAWA equipment and controls, as well as ingress and egress paths will be evaluated for the expected severe accident conditions (temperature, humidity, radiation) for the Sustained Operating period. Equipment will be evaluated to remain operational throughout the Sustained Operating period. Personnel exposure and temperature / humidity conditions for operation of SAWA equipment will not exceed the limits for ERO dose and plant safety guidelines for temperature and humidity. The flow path will be from the FLEX (diesel fire) pump suction in Lake Ontario through the FLEX pumps with a common outlet including a flow indicator that will be used for FLEX and HCVS Phase 2. The indicator will be monitoring the flow that is provided to the RHR service water FLEX header. The monitored water flow rate will pass through the RHRSW piping to the Reactor Building where it will connect with the RHR system by opening MOVs from the MCR that interconnect the systems. The flow will then be directed into the RPV via the LPCI injection valves. Cross flow into other portions of the RHR system will be isolated by manually closing the required MOVs using the available handwheels. DW pressure and Suppression Pool level will be monitored and flow rate will be adjusted by use of the FLEX pump control valve at the Screenwell Building. Communication will be established between the MCR and the FLEX pump location. The FLEX DGs are located in either the west side of the DG Building or north side of the Screenwell Building, which is significantly away from the discharge of the HCVS above the Reactor Building. Refueling of the FLEX DG will be accomplished from the EDG fuel oil tanks as described in the EA-12-049 compliance documents. The Screenwell Building is a significant distance from the discharge of the HCVS above the Reactor Building. Evaluations will be performed for projected SA conditions (radiation / temperature) to indicate that personnel can complete the initial and support activities without exceeding the ERO-allowable dose for equipment operation or site safety standards. (reference HCVS-WP-02, Plant-Specific Dose Analysis for the Venting of Containment during the SA Conditions) Electrical equipment and instrumentation will be powered from the existing station batteries, and from AC distribution systems that are powered from the EA-12-049 generator(s). The battery chargers are also powered from the EA-12-049 generator(s) to maintain the battery capacities during the Sustained Operating period. The indications include (*minimum required):

Temporary/Portable equipment shall be qualified and stored to the same requirements as FLEX equipment as specified in NEI 12-06 Rev 0. SAWA components are not required to meet NEI 13-02, Table 2-1 design conditions. Notes: None Part 3.1.A: Boundary Conditions for SAWA/SAWM Time periods for the maintaining SAWM actions such that the WW vent remains available SAWM Actions supporting SA conditions that have a time constraint to be successful should be identified with a technical basis and a justification provided that the time can reasonably be met (for example, a walkthrough of deployment). Actions already identified under the HCVS part of this template need not be repeated here. There are three time periods for maintaining SAWM actions such that the WW vent remains available to remove decay heat from the containment: SAWM can be maintained for >7 days without the need for a drywell vent to maintain pressure below PCPL or containment design pressure, whichever is lower. o Under this approach, no detail concerning plant modifications or procedures is necessary with respect to how alternate containment heat removal will be provided. SAWM can be maintained for at least 72 hours, but less than 7 days before DW pressure reaches PCPL or design pressure, whichever is lower. o Under this approach, a functional description is required of how alternate containment heat removal might be established before DW pressure reaches PCPL or design pressure whichever is lower. Under this approach, physical plant modifications and detailed procedures are not necessary, but written descriptions of possible approaches for achieving alternate containment heat removal and pressure control will be provided. SAWM can be maintained for <72 hours SAWM strategy can be implemented but for less than 72 hours before DW pressure reaches PCPL or design pressure whichever is lower. o Under this approach, a functional description is required of how alternate containment heat removal might be established before DW pressure reaches PCPL or design pressure whichever is lower. Under this approach, physical plant modifications and detailed procedures are required to be implemented to insure achieving alternate containment heat removal and pressure control will be provided for the sustained operating period. Ref: NEI 13-02 Appendix C.7 SAWM can be maintained for >7 days without the need for a drywell vent to maintain pressure below PCPL.
James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) Phase 2 Overall Integrated Plan December 2015 Page 23 of 48 Part 3.1: Boundary Conditions for SAWA Basis for SAWM time frame Option 1 - SAWM can be maintained greater than or equal to 7 days: The reference plant is the same containment and RPV design (BRW4, Mark I) and has greater generating capacity. In addition, the available JAF Torus freeboard bounds that of the reference plant. Therefore, James A. FitzPatrick is bounded by the evaluations performed in BWROG TP-2015-008 and representative of the reference plant in NEI 13-02 figures C-2 through C-6. Instrumentation relied upon for SAWM operations is Drywell Pressure, Torus level and SAWA flow. This instrumentation will be initially powered by the station DC batteries and will be repowered by the FLEX (EA-12-049) generator, which is placed in-service prior to RPV breach. The FLEX DG will provide power throughout the Sustained Operation period (7 days). DW Temperature monitoring is not a requirement for compliance with Phase 2 of the Order, but some knowledge of temperature characteristics provides information for the operation staff to evaluate plant conditions under a severe accident and provide confirmation to adjust SAWA flow rates. (C.7.1.4.2, C.8.3.1) Torus level indication is maintained throughout the Sustained Operation period, so the HCVS remains in-service. The time to reach the level at which the WW vent must be secured is >7days using SAWM flowrates (C.6.3, C.7.1.4.3)

SAWM will use the installed instrumentation to monitor and adjust the flow from SAWA to control the pump discharge to deliver flowrates applicable to the SAWM strategy. Once the SAWA initial flow rate has been established for 4 hours, the flow will be reduced while monitoring DW pressure and Torus level. SAWM flowrate can be lowered to maintain containment parameters and preserve the WW vent path. SAWM will be capable of injection for the period of Sustained Operation. Greater Than 24 Hour Coping Detail Provide a general description of the SAWM actions for greater than 24 hours using portable and installed equipment including station modifications that are proposed.

In addition, the site will integrate these requirements with compliance to any rulemaking resulting from the NTTF Recommendations 8 and 9. Describe maintenance plan: Describe the elements of the maintenance plan The maintenance program should ensure that the HCVS/SAWA/SAWM equipment reliability is being achieved in a manner similar to that required for FLEX equipment. Standard industry templates (e.g., EPRI) and associated bases may be developed to define specific maintenance and testing. o Periodic testing and frequency should be determined based on equipment type, expected use and manufacturers recommendations (further details are provided in Part 6 of this document). o Testing should be done to verify design requirements and/or basis. The basis should be documented and deviations from vendor recommendations and applicable standards should be justified. o Preventive maintenance should be determined based on equipment type and expected use. The basis should be documented and deviations from vendor recommendations and applicable standards should be justified.
James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) Phase 2 Overall Integrated Plan December 2015 Page 30 of 48 Part 4: Programmatic Controls, Training, Drills and Maintenance o Existing work control processes may be used to control maintenance and testing. HCVS/SAWA permanent installed equipment should be maintained in a manner that is consistent with assuring that it performs its function when required. o HCVS/SAWA permanently installed equipment should be subject to maintenance and testing guidance provided to verify proper function. HCVS/SAWA non-installed equipment should be stored and maintained in a manner that is consistent with assuring that it does not degrade over long periods of storage and that it is accessible for periodic maintenance and testing. Ref: EA-13-109 Section 1.2.13 / NEI 13-02 Section 5.4, 6.2 James A. FitzPatrick will utilize the standard EPRI industry PM process (Similar to the Preventive Maintenance Basis Database) for establishing the maintenance calibration and testing actions for HCVS/SAWA/SAWM components. The control program will include maintenance guidance, testing procedures and frequencies established based on type of equipment and considerations made within the EPRI guidelines. James A.

SAMGs are symptom based guidelines and therefore address a wide variety of possible plant conditions and capabilities while these changes are intended to accommodate those specific conditions assumed in Order EA-13-109. The changes will be made in a way that maintains the use of SAMGs in a symptom based mode while at the same time addressing those conditions that may exist under extended loss of AC power (ELAP) conditions with significant core damage including ex-vessel core debris. Actual Approved Language that will be incorporated into site SAMG* Cautions: Addressing the possible plant response associated with adding water to hot core debris and the resulting pressurization of the primary containment by rapid steam generation. Addressing the plant impact that raising Torus water level above the elevation of the suppression chamber vent opening elevation will flood the suppression chamber vent path. Priorities: With significant core damage and RPV breach, SAMGs prioritize the preservation of primary containment integrity while limiting radioactivity releases as follows: Core debris in the primary containment is stabilized by water addition (SAWA) Primary containment pressure is controlled below the Primary Containment Pressure Limit (Wetwell venting) Water addition is managed to preserve the Mark I/II suppression chamber vent paths, thereby retaining the benefits of Torus scrubbing and minimizing the likelihood of radioactivity and hydrogen release into the secondary containment (SAWM) Methods: Identify systems and capabilities to add water to the RPV or drywell, with the following generic guidance: Use controlled injection if possible. Inject into the RPV if possible. Maintain injection from external sources of water as low as possible to preserve suppression chamber vent capability.
- Actual language may vary by acceptable site procedure standards, but intent and structure should follow this guidance.
