54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension 1.0 PURPOSE The purpose of this analysis is to provide a risk assessment of permanently extending the currently allowed containment Type A Integrated Leak Rate Test (ILRT) to fifteen years. The extension would allow for substantial cost savings as the ILRT could be deferred for additional scheduled refueling outages for the Catawba Nuclear Station (CNS). The risk assessment follows the guidelines from NEI 94-01, Revision 3-A [Reference 1], the methodology used in EPRI TR-104285 [Reference 2], the NEI "Interim Guidance for Performing Risk Impact Assessments in Support of One-Time Extensions for Containment Integrated Leakage Rate Test Surveillance Intervals" from November 2001 [Reference 3], the NRG regulatory guidance on the use of Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) as stated in Regulatory Guide 1.200 as applied to ILRT interval extensions, risk insights in support of a request for a plant's licensing basis as outlined in Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.174 [Reference 4], the methodology used for Catawba to estimate the likelihood and risk implications of corrosion-induced leakage of steel liners going undetected during the extended test interval [Reference 5], and the methodology used in EPRI 1018243, Revision 2-A of EPRI 1009325 [Reference 24].

2.0 SCOPE Revisions to 1 OCFR50, Appendix J (Option B) allow individual plants to extend the Integrated Leak Rate Test (ILRT) Type A surveillance testing frequency requirement from three in ten years to at least once in ten years. The revised Type A frequency is based on an acceptable performance history defined as two consecutive periodic Type A tests at least 24 months apart in which the calculated performance leakage rate was less than limiting containment leakage rate of 1 La.

The basis for the current 10-year test interval is provided in Section 11.0 of NEI 94-01, Revision 0, and established in 1995 during development of the performance-based Option B to Appendix J. Section 11.0 of NEI 94-01 states that NUREG-1493, "Performance-Based Containment Leak Test Program," September 1995 [Reference 6], provides the technical basis to support rulemaking to revise leakage rate testing requirements contained in Option B to Appendix J. The basis consisted of qualitative and quantitative assessment of the ri~k impact (in terms of increased public dose) associated with a range of extended leakage rate test intervals. To supplement the NRC's rulemaking basis, NEI undertook a similar study. The results of that study are documented in Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Research Project TR-104285, "Risk Impact Assessment of Revised Containment Leak Rate Testing Intervals.';

The NRC report on performance-based leak testing, NUREG-1493, analyzed the effects of containment leakage on the health and safety of the public and the benefits realized from the containment leak rate testing. In that analysis, it was determined that for a representative PWR plant (i.e., Surry), that containment isolation failures contribute less than 0.1 % to the latent risks from reactor accidents. Consequently, it is desirable to show that extending the ILRT interval will not lead to a substantial increase in risk from containment isolation failures for CNS.

NEI 94-01 Revision 2-A contains a Safety Evaluation Report that supports using EPRI Report No. 1009325 Revision 2-A, "Risk Impact Assessment of Extended Integrated Leak Rate Testing Intervals," for performing risk impact assessments in support of ILRT extensions [Reference 24].

The Guidance provided in Appendix H of EPRI Report No. 1009325 Revision 2-A builds on the EPRI Risk Assessment methodology, EPRI TR-104285. This methodology is followed to determine the appropriate risk information for use in evaluating the impact of the proposed ILRT changes.

It should be noted that containment leak-tight integrity is also verified through periodic in-service Revision 3 Page 4of198

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension inspections conducted in accordance with the requirements of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section XI. More specifically, Subsection IWE provides the rules and requirements for in-service inspection of Class MC pressure-retaining components and their integral attachments, and of metallic shell and penetration liners of Class CC pressure-retaining components and their integral attachments in light-water cooled plants. Furthermore, NRC regulations 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(ix)(E) require licensees to conduct visual inspections of the accessible areas of the interior of the containment. The associated change to NEI 94-01 will require that visual examinations be conducted during at least three other outages, and in the outage during which the ILRT is being conducted. These requirements will not be changed as a result of the extended ILRT interval. In addition, Appendix J, Type B local leak tests performed to verify the leak-tight integrity of containment penetration bellows, airlocks, seals, and gaskets are also not affected by the change to the Type A test frequency.

The acceptance guidelines in RG 1.17 4 are used to assess the acceptability of this permanent extension of the Type A test interval beyond that established during the Option B rulemaking of Appendix J. RG 1.174 defines very small changes in the risk-acceptance guidelines as increases in Core Damage Frequency (CDF) less than 1 o-s per reactor year and increases in Large Early Release Frequency (LERF) less than 10-7 per reactor year. Since the Type A test does not impact CDF, the relevant criterion is the change in LERF. RG 1.174 also defines small changes in LERF as below 10-s per reactor year. RG 1.17 4 discusses defense-in-depth and encourages the use of risk analysis techniques to help ensure and show that key principles, such as the defense-in-depth philosophy, are met. Therefore, the increase in the Conditional Containment Failure Probability (CCFP), which helps ensure the defense-in-depth philosophy is maintained, is also calculated.

Regarding CCFP, changes of up to 1.1 % have been accepted by the NRC for the one-time requests for extension of ILRT intervals. In context, it is noted that a CCFP of 1/10 (10%) has been approved for application to evolutionary light water designs. Given these perspectives, a change in the CCFP of up to 1.5% is assumed to be small.

In addition, the total annual risk (person rem/year population dose) is examined to demonstrate the relative change in this parameter. While no acceptance guidelines for these additional figures of merit are published, examinations of NUREG-1493 and Safety EvalLJation Reports (SER) for one-time interval extension (summarized in Appendix G of Reference 24) indicate a range of incremental increases in population dose that have been accepted by the NRC. The range of incremental population dose increases is from ::;0.01 to 0.2 person-rem/year and/or 0.002% to 0.46% of the total accident dose. The total doses for the spectrum of all accidents (NUREG-1493 [Reference 6], Figure 7-2) result in health effects that are at least two orders of magnitude less than the NRC Safety Goal Risk. Given these perspectives, a very small population dose is defined as an increase from the baseline interval (3 tests per 10 years) dose of ::;1.0 person-rem per year or 1 % of the total baseline dose, whichever is less restrictive for the risk impact assessment of the proposed extended ILRT interval.

For those plants that credit containment overpressure for the mitigation of design basis accidents, a brief description of whether overpressure is required should be included in this section. In addition, if overpressure is included in the assessment, other risk metrics such as CDF should be described and reported.

Revision 3 Page 9of198

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension 4.0 ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITATIONS The following assumptions were used in the calculation:

The technical adequacy of the CNS PRA is either consistent with the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.200 or where gaps exist, the gaps have been addressed, as is relevant to this ILRT interval extension, as detailed in Attachment 1.

The CNS Level 1 and Level 2 internal events PRA models provide representative results. The current internal events PRA model (Revision 3b) does not contain a full Level 2 PRA, but previous models contain a full Level 2 PRA. Where detail is needed from a Level 2 PRA, the results from the previous revisions are scaled using the current revision's total risk. It is a reasonable assumption that this scaling does not significantly affect the conclusions of this analysis.

Even though CNS has two units, there is only one internal events PRA model because the two units are very similar. It is assumed that the two units are similar enough that the one internal events PRA model accurately models both units.

It is appropriate to use the CNS internal events PRA model to effectively describe the risk change attributable to the ILRT extension. An extensive sensitivity study is done in Section 5.3.1 to show the effect of including external event models for the ILRT extension. The Seismic PRA and Fire PRA (model fire_cr3a_r3v14) are used for this sensitivity analysis.

Accident classes describing radionuclide release end states are defined consistent with EPRI methodology [Reference 2].

The representative containment leakage for Class 1 sequences is 1 La. Class 3 accounts for increased leakage due to Type A inspection failures.

The representative containment leakage for Class 3a sequences is 1 Ola based on the previously approved methodology performed for Indian Point Unit 3 [Reference 8, Reference 9].

The representative containment leakage for Class 3b sequences is 1 OOLa based on the guidance provided 'in EPRI Report No. 1009325, Revision 2-A (EPRI 1018243)

[Reference 24].

The Class 3b can be very. conservatively categorized as LERF based on the previously approved methodology [Reference 8, Reference 9].

The impact on population doses from containment bypass scenarios is not altered by the proposed ILRT extension, but is accounted for in the EPRI methodology as a separate entry for comparison purposes. Since the containment bypass contribution to population dose is fixed, no changes in the conclusions from this analysis will result from this separate categorization.

The reduction in ILRT frequency does not impact the reliability of containment isolation valves to close in response to a containment isolation signal.

EPRI Report No. 1009325, Revision 2-A (EPRI 1018243), Appendix H [Reference 24J This first study is applicable because it provides one basis for the threshold that could be used in the Level 2 PRA for the size of containment leakage that is considered significant and is to be included in the model. The second study is applicable because it provides a basis of the probability for significant pre-existing containment leakage at the time of a core damage accident. The third study is applicable because it is a subsequent study to NUREG/CR-4220 that undertook a more extensive evaluation of the same database. The fourth study provides an assessment of the impact of different containment leakage rates on plant risk. The fifth study provides an assessment of the impact on shutdown risk from ILRT test interval extension. The sixth study is the NRC's cost-benefit analysis of various alternative approaches regarding extending the test intervals and increasing the allowable leakage rates for containment integrated and local leak rate tests. The seventh study is an EPRI study of the impact of extending ILRT and local leak rate test (LLRT) intervals on at-power public risk. The eighth study provides an ex-plant consequence analysis for a 50-mile radius surrounding a plant that is used as the basis for the consequence analysis of the ILRT interval extension for CNS. The*

ninth study includes the NEI recommended methodology (promulgated in two letters) for evaluating the risk associated with obtaining a one-time extension of the ILRT interval. The tenth study addresses the impact of age-related degradation of the containment liners on ILRT evaluations. Finally, the eleventh study builds on the previous work and includes a recommended methodology and template for evaluating the risk associated with a permanent 15-year extension of the I LRT interval.

NUREG/CR-3539 [Reference 1 OJ Oak Ridge National Laboratory documented a study of the impact of containment leak rates on public risk in NUREG/CR-3539. This study uses information from WASH-1400 [Reference 16J as the basis for its risk sensitivity calculations. ORNL concluded that the impact of leakage rates on LWR accident risks is relatively small.

NUREG/CR-4220 [Reference 11J NUREG/CR-4220 is a study performed by Pacific Northwest Laboratories for the NRC in 1985.

The study reviewed over two thousand LERs, ILRT reports and other related records to Revision 3 Page 11 of 198

  • 54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension calculate the unavailability of containment due to leakage.

NUREG-1273 [Reference 121 A subsequent NRC study, NUREG-1273, performed a more extensive evaluation of the NUREG/CR-4220 database. This assessment noted that about one-third of the reported events were leakages that were immediately detected and corrected. In addition, this study noted that local leak rate tests can detect "essentially all potential degradations" of the containment isolation system.

NUREG/CR-4330 [Reference 131 NUREG/CR-4330 is a study that examined the risk impacts associated with increasing the allowable containment leakage rates. The details of this report have no direct impact on the modeling approach of the ILRT test interval extension, as NUREG/CR-4330 focuses on leakage rate and the ILRT test interval extension study focuses on the frequency of testing intervals.

However, the general conclusions of NUREG/CR-4330 are consistent with NUREG/CR-3539 and other similar containment leakage risk studies:

"... the effect of containment leakage on overall accident risk is small since risk is dominated by accident sequences that result in failure or bypass of containment."

EPRI TR-105189 [Reference 141 The EPRI study TR-105189 is useful to the ILRT test interval extension risk assessment because it provides insight regarding the impact of containment testing on shutdown risk. This study contains a quantitative evaluation (using the EPRI ORAM software) for two reference plants (a BWR-4 and a PWR) of the impact of extending ILRT and LLRT test intervals on shutdown risk. The conclusion from the study is that a small, but measurable, safety benefit is realized from extending the test intervals.

NUREG-1493 [Reference 61 NUREG-1493 is the NRC's cost:.benefit analysis for proposed alternatives to reduce containment leakage testing intervals and/or relax allowable leakage rates. The NRC conclusions are consistent with other similar containment leakage risk studies:

Reduction in ILRT frequency from 3per10 years to 1 per 20 years results in an "imperceptible" increase in risk.

Given the insensitivity of risk to the containment leak rate and the small fraction of leak paths detected solely by Type A testing, increasing the interval between integrated leak rate tests is possible with minimal impact on public risk.

EPRI TR-104285 [Reference 21 Extending the risk assessment impact beyond shutdown (the earlier EPRI TR-105189 study),

the EPRI TR-104285 study is a quantitative evaluation of the impact of extending ILRT and LLRT test intervals on at-power public risk. This study combined IPE Level 2 models with NUREG-1150 Level 3 population dose models to perform the analysis. The study also used the approach of NUREG-1493 in calculating the increase in pre-existing leakage probability due to extending the ILRT and LLRT test intervals.

EPRI TR-104285 uses a simplified Containment Event Tree to subdivide representative core damage frequencies into eight classes of containment response to a core damage accident:

1.

Containment intact and isolated

2.

Containment isolation failures dependent upon the core damage accident

"... the proposed CLRT (Containment Leak Rate Tests) frequency changes would have a minimal safety impact. The change in risk determined by the analyses is small in both absolute and relative terms. For example, for the PWR analyzed, the change is about 0.04 person-rem per year... "

NUREG-1150 [Reference 151 and NUREG/CR-4551 [Reference 71 NUREG-1150 and the technical basis, NUREG/CR-4551; provide an ex-plant consequence analysis for a spectrum of accidents including a severe accident with the containment remaining intact (i.e., Tech Spec Leakage). This ex-plant consequence analysis is calculated for the 50-mile radial area surrounding Surry. The ex-plant calculation can be delineated to total person-rern for each identified Accident Progression Bin (APB) from NUREG/CR-4551.. With the CNS Level 2 model end~states assigned to one of the NUREG/CR-4551 APBs, it is considered adequate to represent CNS. (The meteorology and site differences other than population are assumed not to play a significant role in this evaluation.)

NEI Interim Guidance for Performing Risk Impact Assessments In Support of One-Time Extensions for Containment Integrated Leakage Rate Test Surveillance Intervals [Reference 3, Reference 201 The guidance provided in this document builds on the EPRI risk impact assessment methodology [Reference 2] and the NRC performance-based containment leakage test program

[Reference 6], and considers approaches utilized in various submittals, including Indian Point 3 (and associated NRC SER) and Crystal River.

Calvert Cliffs Response to Request for Additional Information Concerning the License Amendment for a One-Time Integrated Leakage Rate Test Extension [Reference 51 This submittal to the NRC describes a method for determining the change in likelihood, due to extending the ILRT, of detecting liner corrosion, and the corresponding change in risk. The methodology was developed for Calvert Cliffs iri response to a request for additional information regarding how the potential leakage due to age-related degradation mechanisms was factored into the risk assessment for the ILRT one-time extension. The Calvert Cliffs analysis was performed for a concrete cylinder and dome and a concrete basemat, each with a steel liner.

EPRI Report No. 1009325, Revision 2-A, Risk Impact Assessment of Extended Integrated Leak Rate Testing Intervals [Reference 24]

This report provides a generally applicable assessment of the risk involved in extension of ILRT test intervals to permanent 15-year intervals. Appendix H of this document provides guidance for performing plant-specific supplemental risk impact assessments and builds on the previous EPRI risk impact assessment methodology [Reference 2] and the NRC performance-based containment leakage test program [Reference 6], and considers approaches utilized in various submittals, including Indian Point 3 (and associated NRC SER) and Crystal River.

The approach included in this guidance document is used in the CNS assessment to determine the estimated increase in risk associated with the ILRT extension. This document includes the bases for the values assigned in determining the probability of leakage for the EPRI Class 3a and 3b scenarios in this analysis, as described in Section 5.2.

CNS Model The Internal Events PRA Model that is used for CNS is characteristic of the as-built plant. The current Level 1 model (CNS PRA Model Version cr3b) [Reference 17] is a linked fault tree model. The Internal Flood PRA was updated; the GDF is 3.92E-5/year, and the LERF is 5.42E-7/year [Reference 39]. The total GDF is 5.48E-5/year, and the total LERF is 1. 75E-6/year with the updated Internal Flooding analysis [Reference 39]. The results documented in Reference 17 include GDF and LERF contributors from legacy fire and tornado PRAs. These contributors have been superseded by updated Fire PRA and High Wind PRA models (see section 5.3.1 for discussion of the Fire and High Wind PRA results). Therefore, the GDF and LERF from the legacy fire and tornado PRAs are not applicable and have been removed from the total GDF and LERF values that are used in this analysis. See Section 5.2.1 for details of this GDF and LERF removal. Table 5-1 and Table 5-2 provide a summary of the Internal Events GDF and LERF results for CNS PRA Model Version cr3b with the legacy fire and tornado risk removed.

The total Fire GDF is 3.57E-5/year for Unit 1 and 3.64E-5/year for Unit 2; the total Fire LERF is 3.41 E-6/year for Unit 1 and 3.48E-6 for Unit 2 [Section 3.0 of Reference 18]. Refer to Section 5.3.1 for further details on external events as they pertain to this analysis.

These containment failure classifications are used in this analysis to determine the risk impact of extending the Containment Type A test interval, as described in Section 5.2 of this report.

5.1.3 Table 5 EPRI Containment Failure Classification [Reference 2]

Description Containment remains intact including accident sequences that do not lead to containment failure in the long term. The release of fission products (and attendant consequences) is determined by the maximum allowable leakage rate values La, under Appendix J for that plant.

Containment isolation failures (as reported in the Individual Plant Examinations) including those accidents in which there is a failure to isolate the containment.

Independent (or random) isolation failures include those accidents in which the pre-existing isolation failure to seal (i.e., provide a leak-tight containment) is not dependent on the sequence in progress.

Independent (or random) isolation failures include those accidents in which the pre-existing isolation failure to seal is not dependent on the sequence in progress. This class is similar to Class 3 isolation failures, but is applicable to sequences involving Type B tests and their potential failures. These are the Type B-tested components that have isolated, but exhibit excessive leakage.

Independent (or random) isolation failures including those accidents in which the pre-existing isolation failure to seal is not dependent on the sequence in progress. This class is similar to Class 4 isolation failures, but is applicable to sequences involving Type C test and their potential failures.

Containment isolation failures including those leak paths covered in the plant test and maintenance requirements or verified per in-seNice inspection and testing (ISl/IST) program.

Accidents involving containment failure induced by severe accident phenomena. Changes in Appendix J testing requirements do not impact these accidents.

Accidents in which the containment is bypassed (either as an initial condition or induced by phenomena) are included in Class 8. Changes in Appendix J testing requirements do not impact these accidents.

Impact of Extension on Detection of Component Failures that Lead to Leakage

{Small and Large)

The ILRT can detect a number ofcomponent failures such as liner breach, failure of certain bellows arrangements, and failure of some sealing surfaces, which can lead to leakage. The proposed ILRT test inteNal extension may influence the conditional probability of detecting these types of failures. To ensure that this effect is properly addressed, the EPRI Class 3 accident class, as defined in Table 5-3, is divided into two sub-classes, Class 3a and Class 3b, representing small and large leakage failures respectively.

The probability of the EPRI Class 3a and Class 3b failures is determined consistent with the EPRI Guidance [Reference 24]. For Class 3a, the probability is based on the maximum likelihood estimate of failure (arithmetic average) from the available data (i.e., 2 "small" failures in 217 tests leads to "large" failures in 217 tests (i.e., 2 I 217 = 0.0092). For Class 3b, the probability is based on the Jeffreys non-informative prior (i.e., 0.5 I 218 = 0.0023).

In a follow-up letter [Reference 20] to their ILRT guidance document [Reference 3], NEI issued additional information concerning the potential that the calculated delta LERF values for several plants may fall above the "very small change" guidelines of the NRC Regulatory Guide 1.174

[Reference 4]. This additional NEI information includes a discussion of conseNatisms in the quantitative guidance for bLERF. NEI describes ways to demonstrate that, using plant-specific calculations, the bLERF is smaller than that calculated by the simplified method.

The supplemental information states:

The methodology employed for determining LERF (Class 3b frequency) involves conservatively multiplying the GDF by the failure probability for this class (3b} of accident. This was done for simplicity and to maintain conservatism. However, some plant-specific accident classes leading to core damage are likely to include individual sequences that either may already (independently) cause a LERF or could never cause a LERF, and are thus not associated with a Revision 3 Page 16of198

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension postulated large Type A containment leakage path (LERF). These contributors can be removed from Class 3b in the evaluation of LERF by multiplying the Class 3b probability by only that portion of GDF that may be impacted by Type A leakage.

The application of this additional guidance to the analysis for CNS, as detailed in Section 5.2, involves subtracting the LERF from the GDF that is applied to Class 3b. To be consistent, the same change is made to the Class 3a CDF, even though these events are not considered.

LERF.

Consistent with the NEI Guidance [Reference 3], the change in the leak detection probability can be estimated by comparing the average time that a leak could exist without detection. For example, the average time that a leak could go undetected with a three-year test interval is 1.5 years (3 years I 2), and the average time that a leak could exist without detection for a ten-year interval is 5 years (1 O years I 2). This change would lead to a non-detection probability that is a factor of 3.33 (5.0/1.5) higher for the probability of a leak that is detectable only by ILRT testing.

Correspondingly, an extension of the I LRT interval to 15 years can be estimated to lead to a factor of 5 ((15/2)/1.5) increase in the non-detection probability of a leak.

It should be noted that using the methodology discussed above is very conservative compared to previous submittals (e.g., the IP3 request for a one-time ILRT extension that was approved by the NRG [Reference 9]) because it does not factor in the possibility that the failu_res could be detected by other tests (e.g., the Type B local leak rate tests that will still occur). Eliminating this possibility conservatively over-estimates the factor increases attributable to the ILRT extension.

5.2 Analysis The application of the approach based on the guidance contained iri EPRI Report No. 1009325, Revision 2-A, Appendix H [Reference 24], EPRI TR-104285 [Reference 2] and previous risk assessment submittals on this subject [References 5, 8, 21, 22, and 23] have led to the following results. The results are displayed according to the eight accident classes defined in*

the EPRI report, as described in Table 5-5.

The analysis performed examined CNS-specific accident sequences in which the containment remains intact or the containment is impaired. Specifically, the breakdown of the severe accidents, contributing to risk, was considered in the following manner:

Core damage sequences in which the containment remains intact initially and in the long term (EPRI TR-104285, Class 1 sequences [Reference 2]).

Core damage sequences in which containment integrity is impaired due to random isolation failures of plant components other than those associated with Type B or Type C test components. For example, liner breach or bellow leakage (EPRI TR-104285, Class 3 sequences [Reference 2]).

Accident sequences involving containment bypassed (EPRI TR-104285, Class 8 sequences [Reference 2]), large containment isolation failures (EPRI TR-104285, Class 2 sequences [Reference 2]), and small containment isolation "failure-to-seal" events (EPRI TR-104285, Class 4 and 5 sequences [Reference 2]) are accounted for in this evaluation as part of the baseline risk profile. However, they are not affected by the ILRT frequency change.

Class 4 and 5 sequences are impacted by changes in Type B and C test intervals; therefore, changes in the Type A test interval do not impact these sequences.

The steps taken to perform this risk assessment evaluation are as follows:

Step 1 - Quantify the baseline risk in terms of frequency per reactor year for each of the accident classes presented in Table 5-5.

Step 2 - Develop plant-specifjc person-rem dose (population dose) per reactor year for each of the eight accident classes.

Step 3 - Evaluate risk impact of extending Type A test interval from 3 in 1 O years to 1 in 15 years and 1 in 1 O years to 1 in 15 years.

Step 4 - Determine the change in risk in terms of Large Early Release Frequency (LERF) in accordance with RG 1.17 4 [Reference 4 ].

Step 5 - Determine the impact on the Conditional Containment Failure Probability (CCFP).

5.2.1 Step 1 ~Quantify the Baseline Risk in Terms of Frequency per Reactor Year As previously described, the extension of the Type A interval does not influence those accident progressions that involve large containment isolation failures, Type B or Type C testing, or containment failure induced by severe accident phenomena.

For the assessment of ILRT impacts on the risk profile, the potential for pre-existing leaks is included in the model. (These events are represented by the Class 3 sequences in EPRI TR-104285 [Reference 2].) The question on containment integrity was modified to include the probability of a liner breach or bellows failure (due to excessive leakage) at the time of core damage. Two failure modes were considered for the Class 3 sequences. These are Class 3a (small breach) and Class 3b (large breach).

The frequencies for the severe accident classes defined in Table 5-5 were developed for CNS by first determining the frequencies for Classes 1, 2, 6, 7, and 8. Table 5-6 presents the grouping of each release category in EPRI Classes based on the associated description. Table 5-7 presents the frequency and EPRI category for each sequence and the totals of each EPRI classification. Table 5-8 provides a summary of the accident sequence frequencies that can lead to radionuclide release to the public and have been derived consistent with the definitions of accident classes defined in EPRI TR-104285 [Reference 2], the NEI Interim Guidance

[Reference 3], and guidance provided in EPRI Report No. 1009325, Revision 2,-A [Reference 24]. Adjustments were made to the Class 3b and hence Class 1 frequencies to account for the Revision 3 Page 18of198

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension impact of undetected corrosion of the steel liner per the methodology described in Section 5.2.6.

Note: calculations were performed with more digits than shown in this section. Therefore, minor differences may occur if the calculations in these sections are followed explicitly.

The Catawba PRA Rev. 3b model [Reference 17] contains risk contribution from internal events and external events (fire and tornadoes). For the baseline analysis in Section 5.2, only internal events will be addressed. External events (fire, tornadoes, and seismic) will be addressed in a sensitivity in Section 5.3.1 using updated PRA models. Using the total GDF of 5.48E-5 and finding the contribution from the Fussell-Vesely (FV) importance measure for fire (initiators

%FCBLR, %FCR, %FOG, %FETB, and %FKC) to total 3.1 % and tornadoes (initiator

%TORNSW) to be 0.8% for GDF, the fire GDF contribution is 1.72E-6 and the tornado GDF contribution is 4.20E-7. Using the total LERF of 1.75E-6, the total fire FV of 2.2%, and the tornado FV of 2.2%, the fire LERF contribution is 3.79E-8 and the tornado LERF contribution is 3.80E-8. Therefore, for this analysis the GDF is 5.27E-5, and the LERF is 1.67E-6.

Class 3 Sequences. This group consists of all core damage accident progression bins for which a pre-existing leakage in the containment structure (e.g., containment liner) exists that can only be detected by performing a Type A ILRT. The probability of leakage detectable by a Type A ILRT is calcu'lated to determine the impact of extending the testing interval. The Class 3 calculation is divided into two classes: Class 3a is defined as a small liner breach (La < leakage

< 10La), and Class 3b is defined as a large liner breach (10La <leakage< 100L~).

Data reported in EPRI 1009325, Revision 2-A [Reference 24] states that two events could have been detected only during the performance of an ILRT and thus impact risk due to change in ILRT frequency. There were a total of 217 successful ILRTs during this data collection period.

Therefore, the probability of leakage is determined for Class 3a as shown in the following equation:

2 Pciass3a = 217 = 0.0092 Multiplying the GDF by the probability of a Class 3a leak yields the Class 3a frequency contribution in accordance with guidance provided in Reference 24. As described in Section 5.1.3, additional consideration is made to not apply failure probabilities on those cases that are already LERF scenarios. Therefore, LERF contributions from GDF are removed. The frequency of a Class 3a failure is calculated by the following equation:

Freqclass3a = Pclass3a * (CDF - LERF) 2

= 217 *(5.27E-5 -1.67E-6) = 4.70E-7 In the database of 217 ILRTs, there are zero containment leakage events that could result in a large early release. Therefore, the Jeffreys non-informative prior is used to estimate a failure rate and is illustrated in the following equations:

um ero ests +

0+1/2 Pciass3b = 217 + 1 = 0.0023 The frequency of a Class 3b failure is calculated by the following equation:

= ~

  • (5.27E-5 -1.67E-6) = 1.17E-7 218 For this analysis, the associated containment leakage for Class 3a is 1 Ola and for Class 3b is Revision 3 Page 19of198

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension 1 OOLa. These assignments are consistent with the guidance provided in Reference 24.

Class 1 Sequences. This group consists of all core damage accident progression bins for which the containment remains intact (modeled as Technical Specification Leakage). Since the PRA model does not contain a Level 2 model, Class 1 is calculated as CDF - LERF. This overestimates the Intact frequency, which is conservative for this analysis because it leads to a higher calculated change in risk due to extending the ILRT frequency. The frequency per year is initially determined from the EPRI Accident Class 1 frequency listed in Table 5-7 and then subtracting the EPRI Class 3a and 3b frequency (to preserve total CDF), calculated below:

Freqclass1 = Freqclass1 - (Freqclass3a - Freqclass3b)

Class 2 Sequences. This group consists of core damage accident progression bins with large containment isolation failures. This is calculated by ANDing the ZL gate (Large Containment Isolation Failure) with a flag to calculate the contribution of large containment isolation failure to Lf:RF. Since this flag is in cutsets that contribute 0.214% of LERF, which is 1.67E-6, the Class 2 contribution is 3.58E-9. The frequency per year for these sequences is obtained from the EPRI Accident Class 2 frequency listed in Table 5-7.

Class 4 Sequ*ences. This group consists of all core damage accident progression bins for which containment isolation failure-to-seal of Type B test components occurs. Because these failures are detected by Type B tests which are unaffected by the Typ~ A ILRT, this group is not evaluated any further in the analysis, consistent with approved methodology.

Class 5 Sequences. This group consists of all core damage accident progression bins for which a containment isolation failure-to-seal of Type C test components occurs. Because the failures are detected by Type C tests which are unaffected by the Type A ILRT, this group is not evaluated any further in this analysis, consistent with approved methodology.

Class 6 Sequences. These are sequences that involve core damage accident progression bins for which a failure-to-seal containment leakage due to failure to isolate the containment occurs.

These sequences are dominated by misalignment of containment isolation valves following a test/maintenance evolution. All other failure modes are bounded by the Class 2 assumptions.

This accident class is also not evaluated further.

Class 7 Sequences. This group consists of all core damage accident progression bins in which containment failure is induced by severe accident phenomena (e.g., overpressure). This

  • frequency is calculated by subtracting the Class 1, 2, and 8 frequencies from the total CDF. For this analysis, the frequency is determined from the EPRI Accident Class 7 frequency listed in Table 5-7.

Class 8 Sequences. This group consists of all core damage accident progression bins in which containment bypass or SGTR occur, which contribute 25.8% and 23.3%, respectively, of LERF; LERF frequencies are shown in Table 5-6. For this analysis, the total frequency is listed in Table 5-7.

LERF quantification is distributed into EPRI categories based on release categories. Table 5-5 shows this distribution.

5.2.2 Step 2 - Develop Plant-Specific Person-Rem Dose (Population Dose)

Plant-specific release analyses were performed to estimate the person-rem doses to the population within a 50-mile radius from the plant. The releases are based on CNS-specific dose calculations summarized in Table 5-3. Table 5-3 provides a correlation of CNS population dose to EPRI Accident Class. Table 5-10 provides population dose for each EPRI accident class.

The population dose for EPRI Accident Classes 3a and 3b were calculated based on the guidance provided in EPRI Report No. 1009325, Revision 2-A [Reference 24] as follows:

5.2.3 Step 3 - Evaluate Risk Impact of Extending Type A Test Interval from 10 to 15 Years The next step is to evaluate the risk impact of extending the test interval from its current 10-year interval to a 15-year interval. To do this, an evaluation must first be made of the risk associated with the 10-year interval, since the base case applies to 3-year interval (i.e., a simplified representation of a 3-to-1 O interval).

Risk Impact Due to 10-Year Test Interval As previously stated, Type A tests impact only Class 3 sequences. For Class 3 sequences, the release magnitude is not impacted by the change in test interval (a small or large breach remains the same, even though the probability of not detecting the breach increases). Thus, only the frequency of Class 3a and Class 3b sequences is impacted. The risk contribution is changed based on the NEI guidance as described in Section 5.1.3 by a factor of 10/3 compared to the base case values. The Class 3a and 3b frequencies are calculated as follows:

Risk lm1;2act Due to 15-Year Test Interval The risk contribution for a 15-year interval is calculated in a manner similar to the 10-year interval. The difference is in the increase in probability of leakage in Classes 3a and 3b. For this case, the value used in the analysis is a factor of 5 compared to the 3-year interval value, as described in Section 5.1.3. The Class 3a and 3b frequencies are calculated as follows:

The Class 1 frequency is reduced by the frequency of Class 3a and Class 3b in order to preserve total CDF.

5.2.4 Step 4 - Determine the Change in Risk in Terms of LERF The risk increase associated with extending the ILRT interval involves the potential that a core damage event that normally would result in only a small radioactive release from an intact containment could, in fact, result in a larger release due to the increase in probability of failure to detect a pre-existing leak. With strict adherence to the EPRI guidance, 100% of the Class 3b contribution would be considered LERF.

Regulatory Guide 1.174 [Reference 4] provides guidance for determining the risk impact of plant-specific changes to the licensing basis. RG 1.17 4 [Reference 4] defines very small changes in risk as resulting in increases of CDF less than 10-5/year and increases in LERF less than 10-7/year, and small changes in LERF as less than 10-5/year. Since containment overpressure is not required in support of ECCS performance to mitigate design basis accidents at CNS, the ILRT extension does not impact CDF. Therefore, the relevant risk-impact metric is LERF.

For CNS, 100% of the frequency of Class 3b sequences can be used as a very conservative first-order estimate to approximate the potential increase in LERF from the ILRT interval extension (consistent with the EPRI guidance methodology). Based on a 10-year test interval from Table 5-11, the Class 3b frequency is 3.90E-07/year; based on a 15-year test interval from Table 5-12, the Class 3b frequency is 5.85E-07/year. Thus, the increase in the overall probability of LERF due to Class 3b sequences that is due to increasing the ILRT test interval from 3 to 15 years is 4.68E-07/year. Similarly, the increase due to increasing the interval from 1 Oto 15 years is 1.95E-07/year. As can be seen, even with the conservatisms included in the Revision 3 Page 24 of 198

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension evaluation (per the EPRI methodology), the estimated change in LERF is within the criteria for a small change when comparing the 15-year results to the current 10-year requirement and the original 3-year requirement. Table 5-13 summarizes these results.

Table 5 Impact on LERF due to Extended Type A *Testing Intervals ILRT Inspection Interval 3 Years (baseline) 10 Years 15 Years Class 3b (Type A LERF) 1.17E-07 3.90E-07 5.85E-07 LlLERF (3 year baseline) 4.68E-07 LlLERF (1 O year baseline) 1.95E-07 The increase in the overall probability of LERF due to Class 3b sequences is greater than 10-1.

As stated in RG 1.17 4 [Reference 4], "When the calculated increase in LERF is in the range of 10-7 per reactor year to 1 o-s per reactor year, applications will be considered only if it can be reasonably shown that the total LERF is less than 1 o-s per reactor year." Baseline LERF (excluding external events) is 1.67E-6/year (1.75E-6/year if fire and tornado are included).

Therefore, there is significant margin for both the ~LERF and baseline LERF to the upper limits of Region II in RG 1.174 [Reference 4].

5.2.5 Step 5 - Determine the Impact on the Conditional Containment Failure Probability Another parameter that the NRC guidance in RG 1.17 4 [Reference 4] states can provide input into the decision-making process is the change in the conditional containment failure probability (CCFP). The CCFP is defined as the probability of containment failure given the occurrence of an accident. This probability can be expressed using the following equation:

CCFP = 1 - f (ncf)

CDF where f(ncf) is the frequency of those sequences that do not result in containment failure; this frequency is determined by summing the Class 1 and Class 3a results [Reference 24]. Table 5-14 shows the steps and results of this calculation. The difference in CCFP between the 3-year test interval and 15-year test interval is 0.888%.

Table 5 Impact on CCFP due to Extended Type A Testing Intervals ILRT Inspection Interval 3 Years (baseline) 10 Years 15 Years f(ncf) (/yr) 5.09E-05 5.06E-05 5.04E-05 f(ncf)/CDF 0.966 0.961 0.957 CCFP 0.0340 0.0392 0.0429 LlCCFP (3 year baseline) 0.888%

LlCCFP (10 year baseline) 0.370%

As stated in Section 2.0, a change in the CCFP of up to 1.5% is assumed to be small. The increase in the CCFP from the 3 in 10 year interval to 1 in 15 year interval is 0.888%. Therefore, this increase is judged to be very small.

5.2.6 Impact of Extension on Detection of Steel Liner Corrosion that Leads to Leakage An estimate of the likelihood and risk implications of corrosion-induced leakage of the steel liners occurring and going undetected during the extended test interval is evaluated using a methodology similar to the Calvert Cliffs liner corrosion analysis [Reference 5]. The Calvert Revision 3 Page 25 of 198

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension Cliffs analysis was performed for a concrete cylinder and dome and a concrete basemat, each with a steel liner.

The following approach is used to determine the change in likelihood, due to extending the ILRT, of detecting corrosion of the containment steel liner. This likelihood is then used to determine the resulting change in risk. Consistent with the Calvert Cliffs analysis, the following issues are addressed:

Differences between the containment basemat and the containment cylinder and dome The historical steel liner flaw likelihood due to concealed corrosion The impact of aging The corrosion leakage dependency on containment pressure The.likelihood. that visual inspections will be effective at detecting a flaw Assumptions Consistent with the Calvert Cliffs analysis, a half failure is assumed for basemat concealed liner corrosion due to the lack of identified failures (See Table 5-15, Step 1).

The two corrosion events used to estimate the liner flaw probability in the Calvert Cliffs previous analysis are assumed to still be applicable.

Consistent with the Calvert Cliffs ~nalysis, the estimated historical flaw probability is also limited to 5.5 years to reflect the years since September 1996 when 1 O CFR 50.55a started requiring visual inspection. Additional success data was not used to limit the aging impact of this corrosion issue, even though inspections were being performed prior to this date (and have been performed since the time frame of the Calvert Cliffs analysis)

(See Table 5-4, Step 1).

Consistent with the Calvert Cliffs analysis, the steel liner flaw iikelihood is assumed to double every five years. This is based solely on judgment and is included in this analysis to address the increased likelihood of corrosion as the steel liner ages (See Table 5-15, Steps 2 and 3). Sensitivity studies are included that address doubling this rate every ten years and every two years.

In the Calvert Cliffs analysis, the likelihood of the containment atmosphere reaching the outside atmosphere, given that a liner.flaw exists, was estimated as 1.1 % for the cylinder.

and dome, and 0.11 % (10% of the cylinder failure probability) for the basemat. These values were determined from an assessment of the probability versus containment pressure. For CNS, the ILRT is performed at or slightly below the design pressure of 15 psig [Reference 27]. Probabilities of 1 % for the cylinder and dome, and 0.1 % for the basemat are used in this analysis, and sensitivity studies are included in Section 5.3.2 (See Table 5-15, Step 4).

Consistent with the Calvert Cliffs analysis, the likelihood of leakage escape (due to crack formation) in the basemat region is considered to be less likely than the containment cylinder and dome region (See Table 5-15, Step 4).

Consistent with the Calvert Cliffs analysis, a 5% visual inspection detection failure likelihood given the flaw is visible and a total detection failure likelihood of 10% is used.

To date, all liner corrosion events have been detected through visual inspection (See Table 5-15, Step 5).

Consistent with the Calvert Cliffs analysis, all non-detectable containment failures are assumed to result in early releases. This approach avoids a detailed analysis of containment failure timing and operator recovery actions.

Revision 3 Page 27 of 198

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension The above factors are applied to those core damage accidents that are not already independently LERF or that could never result in LERF.

The two corrosion events that were initiated from the non-visible (backside) portion of the containment liner used to estimate the liner flaw probability in the Calvert Cliffs analysis are assumed to be applicable to this containment analysis. These events, one at North Anna Unit 2 (September 1999) caused by timber embedded in the concrete immediately behind the containment liner, and one at Brunswick Unit 2 (April 1999) caused by a cloth work glove embedded in the concrete next to the liner, were initiated from the nonvisible (backside) portion of the containment liner. A search of the NRC website LER database identified two additional events have occurred since the Calvert Cliffs analysis was performed. In January 2000, a 3/16-inch circular through-liner hole was found at Cook Nuclear Plant Unit 2 caused by a wooden brush handle embedded immediately behind the containment liner. The other event occurred in April 2009, where a through-liner hole approximately 3/8-inch by 1-inch in size was identified in the Beaver Valley Power Station Unit 1 (BVPS-1) containment liner caused by pitting originating from the concrete side due to a piece of wood that was left behind during the original -

construction that came in contact with the steel liner. Two other containment liner through-wall hole events occurred at Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 in October 2010 and November 2006, respectively. However, these events originated from the visible side caused by the failure of the coating system, which was not designed for periodic immersion service, and are not considered to be applicable to this analysis. More recently, in October 2013; some through-wall containment liner holes were identified at BVPS-1, with a combined total area of approximately 0.395 square inches. The cause of these through-wall liner holes was attributed to corrosion originating from the outside concrete surface due to the presence of rayon fiber foreign material that was left behind during the original construction and was contacting the steel liner

[Reference 28]. For risk evaluation purposes, these five total corrosion events occurring in 66 operating plants with steel containment liners over a 17.1 year period from September 1996 to October 4, 2013 (i.e., 5/(66*17.1) = 4.43E-03) are bounded by the estimated historical flaw probability based on the two events in the 5.5 year period of the Calvert Cliffs analysis (i.e.,

2/(70*5.5) = 5.19E-03) incorporated in the EPRI guidance.

5.3 Sensitivities 5.3.1 Potential Impact from External Events Contribution An assessment of the impact of external events is performed. The primary purpose for this investigation is the determination of the total LERF following an increase in the ILRT testing interval from 3 in 10 years to 1 in 15 years.

Catawba is transitioning to NFPA805 licensing basis for fire protection and submitted a License Amendment Request (LAR) [Reference 33]. This.transition includes performing a Fire PRA and installing modifications to reduce the fire-induced CDF and LERF. It is anticipated that many, but not all, of the Fire PRA related modifications will be completed by the next scheduled ILRT.

The next scheduled ILRTs for the two units are fall 2016 and spring 2018. Compensatory measures have been implemented to reduce the fire risk until the modifications that reduce the Fire PRA CDF and LERF are implemented. These measures may be actions to reduce fire initiating event probabilities, actions to improve suppression probability, and/or actions to recover or protect systems that mitigate core damage and large early release accident sequences. Therefore, the Fire PRA model is deemed applicable for this calculation.

The Fire PRA model fire_cr3a_r3v14 was used to obtain the fire CDF and LERF values

[Reference 18]. To reduce conservatism in the model, the methodology of subtracting existing Revision 3 Page 28 of 198

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension LERF from GDF is also applied to the Fire PRA model. The following shows the calculation for Class 3b:

218 The Seismic PRA results from the IPEEE Seismic PRA estimate a CDF of 1.6E-5/year

[Reference 32]. The cr3b model contains a Seismic PRA model; when only the seismic portion of this model is quantified (cr3b_seismic.cut), the CDF is 1.15E-5. Applying the internal event LERF/CDF ratio to the seismic CDF yields an estimated seismic LERF of 3.62E-7, as shown by the equation below.

3 218 As stated in Section 7.6 of the high wind (HW) PRA [Reference 34], the GDF and LERF are 7.02E-6 and 6.48E-7, respectively. At the time of the original HW PRA development, many of the siding panels on the Turbine Building were not sufficiently fastened to provide full protection against high winds, resulting in relatively high fragilities. This had a considerable effect on the CDF and LERF. Analyses were performed on the fragilities of equipment within the Turbine Building and the CNS Main Transformers, which were shown to be vulnerable to siding impact.

As evidenced by the completed work orders to replace the wall fasteners on the Turbine Building, Catawba has since sufficiently fastened the siding panels [References 47-49].

Therefore, the model with the fasteners fixed is used for this application.

Subtracting HW LERF from CDF, the Class 3b frequency can be calculated by the following formulas:

Freqclass3b = Pc1ass3b * (CDF - LERF) = ;~~ * (7.02E-6 -6.48E-7) = 1.46E-8 10 10 05 Freqc1ass3b1oyr = -

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension The fire, seismic, and high wind contributions to Class 3b frequencies are then combined to obtain the total external event contribution to Class 3b frequencies. The change ln LERF is calculated for the 1 in 10 year and 1 in 15 year cases and the change defined for the external events in Table 5-17.

When both the internal and external event contributions are combined, the total change in LERF of 9.25E-7 for Unit 1 and 9.30E-7 for Unit 2 meets the guidance for small change in risk, as it exceeds 1.0E-7/yr and remains less than 1.0E-6 change in LERF. For this change in LERF to be acceptable, total LERF must be less than 1.0E-5. The total LERF value is calculated below:

[Reference 4] when external event risk is included, several conservative assumptions were made in this ILRT analysis, as discussed in Sections 4.0, 5.1.3, 5.2.1, and 5.2.4; therefore the total change in LERF is considered conservative for this application. As specified in Regulatory Guide 1.17 4 [Reference 4], since the total LERF is less than 1.0E-5, it is acceptable for the bLERF to be between 1.0E-7 and 1.0E-6.

5.3.2 Potential Impact from Steel Liner Corrosion Likelihood A quantitative assessment of the contribution of steel liner corrosion likelihood impact was performed for the risk impact assessment for extended ILRT intervals. As a sensitivity run, the internal event CDF was used to calculate the Class 3b frequency. The impact on the Class 3b frequency due to increases in the ILRT surveillance interval was calculated for steel liner corrosion likelihood using the relationships described in Section 5.2.6. The EPRI Category 3b frequencies for the 3 per 10-year, 10-year, and 15-year I LRT intervals were quantified using the Revision 3 Page 30 of 198

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension internal events CDF. The change in the LERF, change in CCFP, and change in Annual Dose Rate due to extending the ILRT interval from 3 in 10 years to 1 in 10 years, or to 1 in 15 years are provided in Table 5-19-Table 5-21. The steel liner corrosion likelihood was increased by a factor of 1000, 10000, and 100000. Except for extreme factors of 10000 and 100000, the corrosion likelihood is relatively insensitive to the results.

In this sensitivity case, an expert elicitation was conducted to develop probabilities for pre-existing containment defects that would be detected by the I LRT only based on the historical testing data.

Using the expert knowledge, this information was extrapolated into a probability-versus-magnitude relationship for pre-existing containment defects [Reference 24]. The failure mechanism analysis also used the historical ILRT data augmented with expert judgment to develop the results. Details of the expert elicitation process and results are contained in Reference 24. The expert elicitation process has the advantage of considering the available data for small leakage events, which have occurred in the data, and extrapolate those events and probabilities of occurrence to the potential for large magnitude leakage events.

The expert elicitation results are used to develop sensitivity cases for the risk impact assessment. Employing the results requires the application of the ILRT interval methodology using the expert elicitation to change the probability of pre-existing leakage in the containment.

The baseline assessment uses the Jeffreys non-informative prior and the expert elicitation sensitivity study uses the results of the expert elicitation. In addition, given the relationship between leakage magnitude and probability, larger leakage that is more representative of large early release frequency, can be reflected. For the purposes of this sensitivity, the same leakage magnitudes that are used in the basic methodology (i.e., 10 La for small and 100 La for large) are used here. Table 5-22 presents the magnitudes and probabilities associated with the Jeffreys non-informative prior and the expert elicitation used in the base methodology and this sensitivity case.

Taking the baseline analysis and using the values provided in Table 5-10 -Table 5-12 for the expert elicitation sensitivity yields the results in Table 5-23.

The results illustrate how the expert elicitation reduces the overall change in LERF and the overall results are more favorable with regard to the change in risk.

5.3.4 Large Leak Probability Sensitivity Study The large leak probability is a vital portion of determining the Class 3b frequency. CNS had previously calculated the large leak probability using the WCAP method. Table 5-24 presents the large leak probabilities for the baseline test, 10 year test interval, and 15 year test interval.

Table 5-24 was developed using the same process as to calculate Class 3b.

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension 5.3.5 SGTR Success Criteria In response to F&O AS-04, a sensitivity was performed to conservatively change the PRA model logic to approximate the SGTR success criteria changes necessary to reconstruct the SGTR portion of the model. Changes in Success Criteria modeling are based on guidance provided in Reference 43. Since no top logic was deleted from the model (failure logic was added), the risk can only increase as a result of this sensitivity. Under the SGTR Containment Bypass logic, OR gate G086 was added to add new logic; under gate G086, three OR gates (G067, G087, G099) were added to represent three sets of accident scenarios that lead to core damage following a SGTR initiating event. Under gate G067 is AND gates G063, G068, and G073; under gate G087 is AND gates G088 and G089; and under gate G099 is AND gates G100 and G101 with scenario failure logic. Table 5-26 describes the scenario failure logic (and model gates) for these seven gates.

Gate SC-LX is replicated from LX; the only difference is the gates for RHR suction from the sump (L 107R, L207R) are replaced with suction from the corresponding hot leg (loop C hot leg for ND pump B, loop B hot leg for ND pump A).

Total GDF increases by less than 1 %; therefore, there is only a negligible change in Class 3b frequency. Total LERF increases significantly. Therefore, the only significant effect this sensitivity has on the ILRT extension application is to the overall LERF criteria for Region II in RG 1.174 [Reference 4]. This sensitivity results in a LERF increase of 3.0E-7/year. Therefore, baseline LERF (excluding external events) is 1.97E-6/year (2.05E-6/year if fire and tornado risk from the original quantification is included [Reference 17]), and there is still significant margin for both the b.LERF and baseline LERF to the upper limits of Region II in RG 1.17 4 [Reference 4].

5.3.6 Remove Credit for ISLOCA Isolation MOVs The cr3b model used in this analysis credits ISLOCA isolation MOVs; however, industry guidance is to remove credit for these MOVs. A sensitivity study was performed where credit was removed for the ISLOCA isolation MOVs (Nl178B and Nl173A). The failure data for check valve rupture (CVR) was also updated to the data presented in the 2010 Parameter Estimation Update of NUREG/CR-6928 [Reference 54]; this helps mitigate risk increase from removing the ISLOCA isolation MOV credit. Since the change was similar for GDF and LERF, b.LERF did not change. Using the internal events model with the updated internal flood model [Reference 39],

removing credit for MOVs Nl178B and Nl173A, and updating the check valve failure rate, GDF and LERF were each estimated to decrease by 2.28E-8.

Revision 3 Page 34 of 198

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension 5.3.7 Failure Data Update As mentioned in F&O DA-02 (see Table A-1), some of the failure data used in the PRA model for the ILRT extension analysis was outdated. A recent data update incorporated generic failure data through 2010 and plant-specific failure data through 2013 [Reference 66]. A sensitivity was performed to estimate the effect of updating the data in the Internal Events PRA model. The updated type code data was mapped to the existing type codes in the cr3b model. Then, the updated type codes were input into the cr3b model. Since this sensitivity focuses on the Internal Events model, legacy fire and tornado and internal flood risk was excluded. As stated in Section 5.1.2, the CDF with legacy fire and tornado risk removed is 5.27E-5, and the Internal Flood CDF is 3.92E-5. Therefore, the Internal Events CDF is 1.35E-5. As stated in Section 5.1.2, the LERF with legacy fire and tornado risk removed is 1.67E-6, and the Internal Flood LERF is 5.58E-7.

Therefore, the Internal Events LERF is 1.12E-6. The Internal Events CDF decreased slightly from 1.35E-5 to approximately 1.30E-5 and the LERF decreased from 1.12E-6 to approximately 6.53E-7 (note: these values are rounded slightly to maintain consistency with the risk values reported in References 17 and 39).

6.0 RESULTS The results from this ILRT extension risk assessment for CNS are summarized in Table 6-1.

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension 7.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Based on the results from Section 5.2 and the sensitivity calculations presented in Section 5.3, the following conclusions regarding the assessment of the plant risk are associated with extending the Type A ILRT test frequency to 15 years:

Regulatory Guide 1.17 4 [Reference 4] provides guidance for determining the risk impact of plant-specific changes to the licensing basis. Regulatory Guide 1.17 4 defines very small changes in risk as resulting in increases of CDF less than 1.0E-06/year and increases in LERF less than 1.0E-07/year. Since the ILRT does not impact CDF, the relevant criterion is LERF. The increase in LERF resulting from a change in the Type A ILRT test interval from 3 in 10 years to 1 in 15 years is estimated as 4.68E-07/year using the EPRI guidance (this value increases negligibly if the risk impact of corrosion-induced leakage of the steel liners occurring and going undetected during the extended test interval is included), and baseline LERF is 1.67E-6. As such, the estimated change in LERF is determined to be "small" using the acceptance guidelines of Regulatory Guide 1.17 4 [Reference 4].

The effect resulting from changing the Type A test frequency to 1-per-15 years, measured as an increase to the total integrated plant risk for those accident sequences influenced by Type A testing, is 0.109 person-rem/year. EPRI Report No. 1009325, Revision 2-A [Reference 24] states that a very small population dose is defined as an increase of:::; 1.0 person-rem per year, or:::; 1 % of the total population dose, whichever is less restrictive for the risk impact assessment of the extended ILRT intervals. The results of this calculation meet these criteria. Moreover, the risk impact for the ILRT extension when compared to other severe accident risks is negligible.

The increase in the conditional containment failure probability from the 3 in 1 O year interval to 1 in 15 year interval is 0.888%. EPRI Report No. 1009325, Revision 2-A

[Reference 24] states that increases in CCFP of:::; 1.5% is very small. Therefore, this increase is judged to be very small.

Therefore, increasing the ILRT interval to 15 years is considered to be insignificant since it represents a very small change to the CNS risk profile.

Previous Assessments The NRC in NUREG-1493 [Reference 6] has previously concluded that:

Reducing the frequency of Type A tests (ILRTs) from 3 per 1 O years to 1 per 20 years was found to lead to an imperceptible increase in risk. The estimated increase in risk is very small because ILRTs identify only a few potential containment leakage paths that cannot be identified by Type B or Type C testing, and the leaks that hc;ive been found by Type A tests have been only marginally above existing requirements.

Given the insensitivity of risk to containment leakage rate and the small fraction of leakage paths detected solely by Type A testing, increasing the interval between integrated leakage-rate tests is possible with minimal impact on public risk. The impact of relaxing the ILRT frequency beyond 1 in 20 years has not been evaluated. Beyond testing the performance of containment penetrations, ILRTs also test integrity of the containment structure.

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension The findings for CNS confirm these general findings on a plant-specific basis considering the severe accidents evaluated for CNS, the CNS containment failure modes, and the local population surrounding CNS.

ATTACHMENT 1 A.1.

Internal Events PRA Quality Statement for Permanent 15-Year ILRT Extension The CNS internal events PRA model (Revision 3b) is used to calculate GDF and LERF for the permanent 15-year ILRT extension. Any elements of the supporting requirements detailed in ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009 that could be significantly affected by the application are required to meet Capability Category II requirements.

The internal events PRA provides an adequate base model for the development of the permanent 15-year ILRT extension. In accordance with RG 1.200, the most recent full scope CNS Internal Events PRA Peer Review was performed in March 2002 using the peer review process described in NEI 00-02 (Attachment U of Reference 33). More recently, focused scope peer reviews have been conducted on the CNS LERF PRA model and the CNS Internal Flooding PRA model. The results from these focus scope peer reviews are discussed in section A.1.1 for LERF and A.1.2 for Internal Flooding.

In March 2002, the CNS internal events PRA model received a peer review to certify the acceptability of PRAs before a consensus PRA Standard was available. The industry-developed process and methodology outlined in NEI 00-02 was used for the peer review. The review process was originally developed and used by the Boiling Water Reactor Owners Group (BWROG) and subsequently broadened to be an industry-applicable process through the NEI Risk Applications Task Force.

Revision 2b of the CNS internal events PRA was the model of record at the time of the peer review. The Revision 3 model was used as the basis for the Fire PRA model which supports the NFPA 805 transition.

The NEI 00-02 Peer Review process used grades to assess the relative techni.cal merits and capabilities of each sub-element reviewed. The grades provide guidance on appropriate use of the information covered by the sub-element for risk-informed applications. Per NEI 05-04, Revision 2, "Process for Performing Internal Events PRA Peer Review$ Using the ASME/ANS PRA Standard", in general, the following approximate correspondence exists between the NEI 00-02 grading system and the ASME/ ANS PRA Standard RA-Sa-2009:

NEI 00-02 ASME PRA Standard Grade 1 No equivalent "grade" Grade 2 Capability Category I Grade 3 Capability Category II Grade 4 Capability Category Ill Approximately 73% of the graded sub-elements received grades of 3 or higher. None of the sub-elements received a grade of 1 (or contingent 2), and 27 % of the sub-elements received a grade of 2 or contingent 3 (roughly 75% of this group was contingent grade 3).

F&Os from the 2002 peer review were assigned a significance level of A, B, C, D, or S based on guidance in NEI 00-02. Significance level A and B are equivalent to "Findings" in NEI 05-04 Revision 2. There were no level A F&Os; there were 32 level B F&Os, and 1 superior notation.

In the time since the NEI 00-02 peer review, focused peer reviews have been performed for the internal flood and LERF models, which supersede one of the 32 F&Os.

In 2008, Duke Energy performed a self-assessment that evaluated the differences between the original peer review against NEI 00-02 and RA-S-2008 of the ASME/ANS PRA Standard, as endorsed by Regulatory Guide 1.200, Revision 1.

Revision 3 Page 38 of 198

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension In 2013, Duke Energy performed a self-assessment against the ASME/ANS PRA Standard RA-Sa~2009 supporting requirements, as endorsed by Reg. Guide 1.200 Revision 2.

Table A-1 presents an assessment of all ASME/ANS PRA Standard RA-Sa-2009 supporting requirements that were assessed to be "Not Met" at the equivalent of Capability Category II in the 2002 peer review, were not assessed in the 2002 peer review (no equivalent NEI 00-02 sub-elements), or were assessed to be "Met" but had related Findings. Regulatory Guide 1.200, Appendix B was used to correlate NEI 00-02 sub-elements to ASME/ANS PRA Standard RA-Sa-2009 supporting requirements for the assessments. F&Os from the 2002 peer review are dispositioned for the applicable ASME/ANS PRA Standard RA-Sa-2009 SRs.

All changes to the CNS internal events PRA model since the last full-scope peer review have been reviewed and, with the exception of the LERF and Internal Flood PRA models for which focused-scope peer reviews were performed, there are no changes that are considered PRA upgrades as defined in ASME/ANS-RA-Sa-2009, as endorsed by Regulatory Guide 1.200 Revision 2. The CNS Internal Events PRA was judged to meet Capability Category II consistent with RG 1.200 guidance.

A.1.1 LERF PRA Quality Statement In December 2012, a focused scope peer review was performed of the CNS LERF PRA against selected requirements of the ASME/ANS PRA Standard RA-Sa-2009, and any Clarifications and.Qualifications provided in the NRC endorsement of the Standard contained in Revision 2 to RG 1.200. The peer review was performed using the process defined in NEI 05-04. The scope of the review was limited to the High Level Requirements and SRs in Part 2, Requirements for Internal Events At-Power PRA, Tables 2-2.8-1 and 2-2.8-2 through 2-2.8-8, of the ASME/ANS PRA Standard. The model reviewed was the LERF portion of CNS Internal Events PRA Model.

The ASME/ANS PRA Standard contains a total of 41 numbered SRs for the LERF portion of the internal events standard requirements. Two of the LERF SRs were determined to be not applicable to the CNS LERF PRA. Of the 39 applicable SRs, 26 SRs, ot 67%, were rated as SR Met, Capability Category I/II, or greater. Only two SRs were not met. However, 11, or 28%, of the SRs were assessed at Capability Category I. CNS uses a LERF model based on the simplified U~RF model in NUREG/CR-6595. While a NUREG/CR-6595 model is classified as Capability Category I, the NRC has determined this to be of sufficient capability to support risk-informed applications.

In the course of this review, 9 new F&Os were prepared, including 6 suggestions and 3 findings.

Table A-2 lists the 13 SRs that were assessed at Capability Category I or Not Met and the related findings, including the peer review assessment comments, the disposition and status for each of the findings, and an assessment of the impact on the ILRT extension application.

A.1.2 Internal Flood PRA Quality Statement In September 2012, a focused scope peer review was performed of the CNS Internal Flood PRA using the NEI 05-04 process and the ASME PRA Standard AS ME/ANS RA-Sa-2009, along with the NRC clarifications provided in Regulatory Guide 1.200, Revision 2. The peer review concluded that 56 of the total 62 numbered SRs outlined within the 2009 ASME PRA Standard for At-Power Internal Flood met Capability Category II or greater. Five of the SRs were rated as Not Met and 1 was rated as CC I.

The independent peer review identified 17 new F&Os which are comprised of 9 findings, 7 suggestions, and 1 best practice. Table A-3 presents the SRs and related F&O findings, including the peer review assessment comments, the disposition and status for each of the findings, and an assessment of the impact on the ILRT extension application.

Fire PRA Quality Statement for Permanent 15-Year ILRT Extension In accordance with RG 1.205 position 4.3:

"The licensee should submit the documentation described in Section 4.2 of Regulatory Guide 1.200 to address the baseline PRA and application-specific analyses. For PRA Standard "supporting requirements" important to the NFPA 805 risk assessments, the NRC position is that Capability Category JI is generally acceptable."

The Catawba Internal Events model was also updated to support the Catawba Fire PRA. The CNS Fire PRA Peer Review was performed on July 12-16, 2010 using RG 1.200, Revision 2, the combined PRA standard, ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009 as endorsed by RG 1.200, Revision 2, and the NEI 07-12 Fire PRA peer review process (Attachment V of Reference 33). The purpose of this review was to provide a method for establishing the technical quality and adequacy of the Fire PRA for the spectrum of potential risk-informed plant licensing applications for which the Fire PRA may be used. The peer review findings were addressed and the dispositions reviewed to validate that no changes were made which meet the definition of a PRA model upgrade per RG 1.200. Therefore, no additional peer reviews, partial scope or focused scope, were required to be conducted for the CNS Fire PRA.

"T:he CNS Fire PRA was judged to meet Capability Category II consistent with RG 1.205 guidance. A total of twenty (20) F&O findings and twenty-nine (29) F&O suggestions (plus 1 best practice F&O) were generated. The capability categories ate defined in ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009, Part 4, "Requirements for Fires At-Power PRA." The peer review report noted that there were 13 SRs where the standard was not met. Sixteen F&Os were issued against SRs which met Capability Category I (some classified as "findings" and some addressed via "suggestions"). The findings have been resolved with the dispositions summarized in Table A-4.

The impact of those areas where only the Capability Category I requirement was met is summarized in Table A-5. All F&Os that were defined as suggestions have been dispositioned.

No changes were made in the resolution of the findings that meet the definition of a model

  • upgrade as defined by RG 1.200; therefore, a follow-up peer review is not required. The Fire PRA is judged to be adequate to support the ILRT extension.

High Wind PRA Quality Statement for Permanent 15-Year ILRT Extension The HWPRA was assessed by a peer team against ASME/ANS PRA standard with RG 1.200 Revision 2 clarifications in August of 2013. The peer team documented the Facts and Observations (F&Os) that pertain to the CNS HWPRA in LTR-RAM-11-13-077 [Reference 44].

Each of these F&Os are resolved or dispositioned in order to ensure the capability category of each individual Standard Requirement is met so that the CNS HWPRA can be used to support risk-informed applications. Table A-6 shows the findings and resolutions.

54003-CALC-02 SR IE-A1 IE-A2 2009 ASME/ANS Cat II Requirement IDENTIFY those initiating events that challenge normal plant operation and that require successful mitigation to prevent core damage using a structured, systematic process for identifying initiating events that accounts for plant-specific features. For example, such a systematic approach may employ master logic diagrams, heat balance fault trees, or failure niodes and effects analysis (FMEA). Existing lists of known initiators are also commonly employed as a starting point.

INCLUDE in the spectrum of internal-event challenges considered at least the following general categories:

(a) Transients. INCLUDE among the transients both equipment and human-induced events that disrupt the plant and leave the primary system pressure boundary intact.

(b) LOCAs. INCLUDE in the LOCA category both equipment and human-induced events that disrupt the plant by causing a breach in the core coolant system with a resulting loss of core coolant inventory.

DIFFERENTIATE the LOCA initiators, using a defined rationale for the differentiation. Examples of LOCA types include (1) Small LOCAs. Examples: reactor coolant pump seal LOCAs, small pipe breaks (2) Medium LOCAs.

Examples: stuck open safety or relief valves (3) Large LOCAs.

Exam les: inadvertent ADS, Revision 3 Status Dispositioned Dispositioned Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension Table A-1 Internal Events PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding/Observation F&O IE-03: Although SAAG 691 states that a review of plant systems was performed to search for support initiators, documentation of the review was not located. Each system notebook includes a section indicating whether or not it was determined that loss of that system leads to an initiating event.

However, there was no discussion in SAAG 691 or the system notebooks to indicate that the process followed was sufficiently structured to capture potential initiators across various system alignments and support system alignments, and to consider initiating event precursors.

This finding was made against NEI SR IE-10 with grade 3 being contingent on its resolution.

F&O IE-06: The Loss of HVAC initiator was removed, because operators may shut down the plant from remote locations (the Auxiliary Shutdown Panel and the SSF) if the Control Room is incapable of maintaining inventory control. This is an inadequate reason to omit an IE. If loss of HVAC causes a plant trip and requires SSD from the ASP, that sequence should be identified and modeled. Note that the switchgear room may also be affected by failed HVAC. A particular example is the possibility that the switchgear chiller is working, in which case the operators may not diagnose the situation in time.

Disposition The NEI SRs applicable to this ASME SR are IE-7, IE-8, IE-9, and IE-1 o, and there are no industry self-assessment actions and no NRC objections. The original Peer Review rated IE-7 and IE-9 as "3" and IE-8 and IE-10 as "3 with contingencies." IE-10 has one level "B" F&O: IE-03.

F&O IE-03: Support systems were reviewed to identify plant specific initiating events and documentation of the review and approach has been added to CNC-1535.00-00-0114 Rev 0.

Since the Peer Review rated all of the applicable NEI SRs as "3" and there are no remaining open level "B" F&Os, this ASME SR is now Met Cat II.

The NEI SRs applicable to this ASME SR are IE-5, IE-7, IE-9, and IE-10, and there are no NRC objections. There is an industry action to confirm that the appropriate initiators were included. The original Peer Review rated IE-7 and IE-9 as "3" and IE-5 and IE-10 as "3 with contingencies." IE-5 has one level "B" F&O: IE-06; IE-10 has one level "B" F&O: IE-03. F&O IE-03 is more applicable to SRs IE-A1, IE-A5 and IE-A6, and is dispositioned under those SRs.

F&O IE-06: This SR is not met because the loss of switchgear HVAC initiating event is not included in the PRA. Any additional risk added by including the VC/YC systems in the PRA model would be small and would not have a significant impact on results for the ILRT extension application.

Impact on ILRT Extension There were no F&Os with "A" level of significance at CNS and there are no remaining open F&Os with "B" level of significance related to this SR. There is no impact to the ILRT extension.

Room heat-up analyses were performed for the switchgear rooms, battery rooms, and the control room

[References 40, 41, and 42].

The results of these analyses show that equipment in these rooms will not be adversely impacted by the loss of HVAC over the 24-hour mission time. There is no impact to the ILRT extension.

(e) Special initiators (e.g., support systems failures, instrument line breaks) [Note (1)].

PERFORM a systematic evaluation of each system, including support systems, to assess the possibility of an initiating event occurring due to a failure of the system.

USE a structured approach [such as a system-by-system review of initiating event potential, or a failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA), or other systematic process] to assess and document the possibility of an initiating event resulting from individual systems or train failures.

There is an industry action to check for initiating events that can be caused by multiple failures, if the equipment failures result from a common cause or from routine system alignments. The original Peer Review rated IE-7 and IE-9 as "3" and IE-5 and IE-10 as "3 with contingencies." IE-5 has one level "B" F&O: JE-06; IE-10 has one level "B" F&O: IE-03. F&O IE-06 is more applicable to SR IE-A2 and is dispositioned under that SR.

F &O I E-03: Support systems were reviewed to identify plant specific initiating events and documentation of the review and approach has been added to CNC-1535.00-00-0114 Rev 0. CNC-1535.00-00-0114 Rev 0 documents the reviews of the common cause failure events and review of maintenance rule function for consideration of initiating events from multiple failures. This is considered to resolve the finding and achieve grade 3 of NEI SR I meet CAT II of the ASME SR.

There are no NEI SRs applicable to this ASME SR.

An extensive search for initiating events has been performed in CNC-1535.00-00-0114 Rev 0, so it is unlikely that interviews with plant personnel would result in the addition of any new initiators to the internal events model. However, the interviews need to be performed and documented.

Self-assessment DPC-1535.00-00-0013 indicates that this requirement has not been met for CNS. Specifically, no interviews with plant personnel have been performed or documented.

The NEI SRs applicable to this ASME SR are IE-10 and IE-16, and there are no industry self-assessment actions and no NRG objections.

The original Peer Review rated IE-16 as "3" and IE-10 as "3 with contingencies." IE-10 has one level "B" F&O: IE-03.

Disposition The NEI SRs applicable to this ASME SR are IE-4 and IE-7, and there are no industry self-assessment actions and no NRC objections. The original Peer Review rated IE-7 as "3" and IE-4 as "3 with contingencies." There were no F&Os with "A" level of significance at CNS and there are no level "B" F&Os associated with either of these NEI SRs.

Initialing events were combined into groups and a systematic approach was used as documented in CNC-1535.00-00-0114 Rev 0 and CNC-1535.00-00-0031 Rev 0 (SAAG 691).

Self-assessment DPC-1535.00-00-0013, Rev. 3 indicates that this requirement has not been met for CNS. Specifically, documentation of a structured, systematic approach to grouping initiating events was found to need enhancement.

There are no NEI SRs applicable to this ASME SR. Initiating event frequencies are calculated on a reactor year basis. The plant availability factor is included in the calculations. This is considered to meet CAT II of the ASME/ANS PRA Standard.

There are no NEI SRs applicable to this ASME SR. Although IE-C6 does not correlate directly to an NEI SR assessed by the peer review team, F&O IE-06 is judged lo be applicable to this SR. The loss of Switchgear and Control Room HVAC systems are not modeled as initiating events in the Catawba PRA, and are excluded based on judgment, but the criteria in I E-C6 should be used to justify the exclusion. Any additional risk added by including the VC/YC systems in the PRA model would be small and would not have a significant impact on the ILRT extension application.

The NUREG assigned a value to these events based on a non-informative prior updated with O events and the total number of critical reactor years in the study. In the case of a spurious opening of a primary safety valve, the model should address the potential for the valve to close as the pressure decreased, effectively terminating the Joss of coolant. The evaluation of the subsequent reclosure of the PORV is not as straightforward. The cause of the opening PORV would need to be addressed. However, either the PORV could be closed or the block valve could be closed.

None Disposition F &O I E-04 appears to be an observation of conservatism in usage of generic industry data for stuck open SRV and PORV initiating events.

However, this treatment is judged to be appropriate, and so this is considered to meet CAT II of the ASME/ANS PRA Standard.

The NEI SR applicable to this ASME SR is IE-14, and there are no NRG objections. There is an industry action to confirm that secondary pipe system capability and isolation capability under high flow or differential pressures are included. The original Peer Review rated this NEI SR as "3". There were no F&Os with "N level of significance at CNS and there are no level "B" F&Os associated with this NEI SR.

Even though the NEI equivalent to this SR was assessed to be Grade 3 by the peer review team in 2002, the industry action relates to PRA Tracker Open Item C-02-0001, which indicates this item is still open.

Credit may have been given to MOVs that will not function under the differential pressure conditions that result from ruptured check valves.

This item could result in an increase in the probability of certain ISLOCAs and may impact the base model CDF and LERF.

Impact on ILRT Extension remaining open F&Os with "B" level of significance related to this SR. In addition, use of generic data for stuck open PO RV or safety valve initiating event frequency is conservative and judged to be appropriate. There is negligible impact to the ILRT extension.

If credit for the MOVs is removed, the base internal events CDF and LERF will increase. Impact on the internal events PRA LERF is expected to be greater than impact on CDF. The CDF/LERF and delta CDF/LERF values are in the middle of Region II of the RG 1.174 acceptance criteria, and the expected increase in CDF/LERF with credit for the MOVs removed is small enough that the risk metrics would remain in Region II. The ILRT extension impact is expected to be insignificant.

AS-07: The success criteria for AFW for SGTR is 1 CA pump to 2 steam generators. The ruptured SG is assumed to be one of the two steam generators that supply steam to the turbine-driven AFW pump.

In the Catawba Rev. 2b fault tree model, however, the dependency of the TDP on the SGTR initiator is not modeled. Thus, the TDP supply is not degraded by the initiating event in the model logic, so the model is incorrect.

Further, it was not clear that the MLOCA MAAP runs adequately match the accident sequence being modeled in the PRA. Cases in SAAG 96 do not appear to disable accumulators when defining the minimum ECC requirements, but accumulators are not required by the resulting MLOCA success criteria. Also, MAAP is not an appropriate code to use in performing analyses for rapid blowdown events such as large and some medium LOCAs.

SY-03: System success criteria are specified in the system notebooks in sufficient detail to describe the overall fault tree top events, but no basis is provided in the system notebooks for the number of pumps or flow rate requirements. The Reference section 18.1 does not contain a link to an appropriate success criteria calculation. For example, in the KC notebook, it is stated without a source reference that both pumps and the associated heat exchanger

.in a train are required for success when the ND (RHR) heat exchanger is required. Similarly, in Section 12 of the RN notebook, it is stated that the top events simply represent "failure to provide sufficient flow to components requiring cooling without defining a flow rate or number of pumps (in Section 13 of the notebook it does state that failure to provide flow requires failure of all four pump trains).

Revision 3 Status Dispositioned Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension Table A-1 Internal Events PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding/Observation AS-07: The success criteria for AFW for SGTR is 1 CA pump to 2 steam generators. The ruptured SG is assumed to be one of the two steam generators that supply steam to the turbine-driven AFW pump.

In the Catawba Rev. 2b fault tree model, however, the dependency of the TOP on the SGTR initiator is not modeled. Thus, the TOP supply is not degraded by the initiating event in the model logic, so the model is incorrect.

(This item is already on the list of corrective actions for the Catawba PRA, and Duke has indicated that it will be implemented in the Rev. 3 PRA.)

TH-02: The original definition of core damage used in the Catawba PRA was the eutectic melting point of the fuel (4040 degF). This has been informally revised (i.e., not in a Workplace Procedure but known to the Duke PRA analysts associated with performing success criteria) based on a McGuire PRA Peer Review observation, to "success criteria is defined as the hottest core node remained below 2000 degF" as predicted by MAAP or other T/H code. The reference used by Duke for this definition is EPRI document NP-6328, "Release of Volatile Fission Products From Irradiated LWR Fuel: Mass Spectrometry Studies", Final Report, April 1989.

The revised criterion is more in line with industry practice. In specific instances, it is possible that the 2000 degF criterion could be pushing the limit of acceptability for the code used, and investigation of the sensitivity of the results to a lower temperature value might be warranted (e.g., the ASME PRA Standard suggests 1800 degF for a code like MAAP, or even 1200 degF ifthere is prolonged core uncovery).

Disposition The NEI SRs applicable to this ASME SR are AS-20, AS-21, AS-22, and AS-23. There are no NRC objections, but since the explicit requirement for steady-state conditions for end state was not contained in NEI 00-02, this should be demonstrated. The original Peer Review rated all of these N El SRs as "3". AS-22 has one level "C" F&O: TH-02, but a similar F&O for McGuire was level "B" so it is retained here.

An evaluation was performed in DPC-1535.00-00-0010 which provides the definition of core damage for PRA applications using the MAAP analysis code, determined to be 2500 F. Section 10.0 of DPC-1535.00-00-0010 states, The temperature criterion of TC RH OT>

1800 'F can be used to establish the time at which core damage occurs. Determining the time at which restoring core cooling prevents TCRHOT from exceeding 1800 'F can be used in human reliability analyses to determine the time parameters for input into the HRA."

This criterion is used in the development of success criteria and timing of operator actions. This evaluation meets the requirements of Section 1-2.2 of the Standard, and thus F&O TH-02 is resolved. The ASME SR is considered Met as reported in Duke self-assessments CNC-1535.00-00-0155 and DPC-1535.00-00-0013.

More recently, McGuire success criteria calculations have been revised to define success criteria as core temperature remains below 2000 Deg F. As noted in MCC-1535.00-00-0172, the difference in time to core damage is not significant when using either 2000 Deg F or 4000 Deg F because the exothermic nature of the zircaloy-water Impact on ILRT Extension References 45 and 56 document the MAAP analysis confirming core damage being defined as 2000 'F has no impact on success criteria. There is no impact on the ILRT extension.

For example, MLOCA success criteria analyses are done for a 3.5 inch break (file SAAG 96), while the MLOCA is defined as a 2 to 5 inch break. The combinations of systems and operator recoveries that are defined as success at 3.5 inches may not be success at 2 inches or at 5 inches. This issue also applies to large LOCA (8.25 ft2 break analyzed in SAAG 97) vs a break range down to 6 inches, and small LOCA (1 inch break analyzed, SAAG 95) vs. break sizes from 3/8 to 2 inches. Further, it was not clear that the MLOCA MAAP runs adequately match the accident sequence being modeled in the PRA. Cases in SAAG 96 do not appear to disable accumulators when defining the minimum ECC requirements, but accumulators are not required by the resulting MLOCA success criteria. Also, MAAP is not an appropriate code to use in performing analyses for rapid blowdown events such as large and some medium LOCAs.

AS-04: There were several observations on the modeling of event 03 in the SGTR tree:

Event 03 is generally defined as the event to cooldown to RHR conditions using 2/3 SG for Disposition reaction rapidly increases the fuel temperature. Therefore, the revised success criterion does not have an impact on the time available for human recoveries or other non-recovery events such as loss of offsite power recoveries. There is also no impact on the equipment required for mitigation of any accident sequence. Even though the Catawba success criteria have not been revised, the conclusions from McGuire are considered applicable to Catawba due to the similarities between the plants.

The core damage criteria using the TCRHOT parameter in the MAAP analyses were examined to determine if using 2000 °F would impact the success criteria results. The success criteria were reanalyzed and updated to show that 2000 °F core damage success criteria were also met [Reference 45].

The NEI SRs applicable to this ASME SR are AS-18 and TH-4. There are no NRC objections, but the focus should be on the environmental conditions challenging the equipment during the accident sequence.

The original Peer Review rated both of these NEI SRs as "3 with contingencies". AS-18 and TH-4 have the same level "B" F&O: TH-

The success criteria for all LOCA events were revisited since the Peer Review. For MLOCA and SLOCA events, thermal/hydraulic calculations were performed at the upper and lower ends of the spectrum, as well as at several midpoints where changes in thermal/hydraulic behavior occur to determine the success criteria for those events. Availability of accumulators is also addressed. The design basis requirements for mitigation are used are used as the primary basis the success criteria for LLOCA events.

TH-06: There is no room heatup analysis notebook I evaluation of loss of HVAC to equipment rooms for the Catawba PRA, and apparently no retrievable room heatup calculations or documentation to support the assumption that room cooling need not be modeled in the PRA. Other PRAs have found that room cooling is required for some rooms such as electrical equipment rooms and small rooms housing critical pumps.

(Duke is already aware of this issue.)

SY-06: For Catawba, there was no evaluation of the ability of non-qualified (non-EQ) equipment to survive in a degraded environment following an accident such as a steam line of feedwater line break outside of containment.

QU-02: The IE's for certain support system failures (RN, KC) are not input in the top event logic as a Boolean equation, but rather as a point estimate whose value is derived by solution of the IE fault tree.

However, failures that cause the IE may also affect the mitigating system, such that there is a dependency between the initiating event and the available mitigation. Examples are an electrical bus that failed one train of KC and could fail one train of mitigating equipment. Another example is the operator error in the loss of KC to start the standby train of KC (KKCSTNBDHE). The HRA notebook states this event has dependencies with HYDBACKDHE.

AS-07: The success criteria for AFW for SGTR is 1 CA pump to 2 steam generators. The ruptured SG is assumed to be one of the two steam generators that supply steam to the turbine-driven AFW pump.

In the Catawba Rev. 2b fault tree model, however, Disposition and other locations. Room heatup calculations should be performed in all locations in which HVAC can be lost to justify not modeling those systems and/or determine timing of operator coping actions and equipment damage. If no room heatup calculation is performed, it should be assumed that the HVAC system is required in those locations. The appropriate dependencies should be included in the PRA model, including possible initiating events. Any additional risk added by including the VC/YC systems in the PRA model would be small and would not have a significant impact on the results for the I LRT extension application.

F&O SY-06 is resolved because high-energy line breaks (e.g., steam line breaks and feed line breaks) are addressed in the Internal Flood PRA (Reference 38).

Since Peer Review F&Os DE-04, TH-06, and SY-06 are still open, this ASME SR is Not Met.

The NEI SRs applicable fo this ASME SR are AS-10, AS-11, DE-4, DE-5, DE-6, and QU-25, and there are no industry self-assessment actions and no NRC objections. The original Peer Review rated AS-11 and DE-6 as "3" and AS-10, DE-4, and DE-5 as "3 with contingencies." QU-25 was found not applicable. AS-10 has one level "B" F&O: DE-04; DE-4 has one level "B" F&O: DE-04; DE-5 has two level "B" F&Os: QU-02 and AS-07. Of the F&Os, QU-02 and AS-07 appear to be related to this ASME SR, i.e., intersystems dependencies.

F&O QU-02: System level initiators represented as fully developed sub-tree structures are not in the Rev 3 model. Duke Energy feels that it is acceptable to not develop system level initiators as long as a review for dependencies takes place in the cut set file. This process has been proceduralized and is contained in Section 4 of Workplace Guideline XSAA-103, Guidelines For Determining Risk Significance.

(This item is already on the list of corrective actions for the Catawba PRA, and Duke has indicated that it will be implemented in the Rev. 3 PRA.)

TH-02: The original definition of core damage used in the Catawba PRA was the eutectic melting point of the fuel (4040 degF). This has been informally revised (i.e., not in a Workplace Procedure but known to the Duke PRA analysts associated with performing success criteria) based on a McGuire PRA Peer Review observation, to "success criteria is defined as the hottest core node remained below 2000 degF" as predicted by MAAP or other T/H code. The reference used by Duke for this definition is EPRI document NP-6328, "Release of Volatile Fission Products From Irradiated LWR Fuel: Mass Spectrometry Studies", Final Report, April 1989.

The revised criterion is more in line with industry practice. In specific instances, it is possible that the 2000 degF criterion could be pushing the limit of acceptability for the code used, and investigation of the sensitivity of the results to a lower temperature value might be warranted (e.g., the ASME PRA Standard suggests 1800 degF for a code like MAAP, or even 1200 degF ifthere is prolonged core uncovery).

The NEI SRs applicable to this ASME SR are AS-20 and AS-22, and there are no industry self-assessment actions and no NRC objections.

The original Peer Review rated AS-20 as "3" and AS-22 as "3 with contingencies." AS-22 has one level "C" F&O: TH-02, but a similar F&O for McGuire was level "B" so it is retained here.

An evaluation was performed in DPC-1535.00-00-0010 which provides the definition of core damage for PRA applications using the MAAP analysis code, determined to be 2500 F. Section 10.0 of DPC-1535.00-00-001 o states, 'The temperature criterion of TC RH OT>

1800 "F can be used to establish the time at which core damage occurs. Determining the time at which restoring core cooling prevents TCRHOT from exceeding 1800 "F can be used in human reliability analyses to determine the time parameters for input into the HRA."

This criterion is used in the development of success criteria and timing of operator actions. This evaluation meets the requirements of Section 1-2.2 of the Standard, and thus F&O TH-02 is resolved. The ASME SR is considered Met as reported in Duke self-assessments CNC-1535.00-00-0155 and DPC-1535.00-00-0013.

More recently, McGuire success criteria calculations have been revised to define success criteria as core temperature remains below 2000 Deg F. As noted in MCC-1535.00-00-0172, the difference in time to core damage is not significant when using either 2000 Deg F or 4000 Deg F because the exothermic nature of the zircaloy-water reaction rapidly increases the fuel temperature. Therefore, the revised success criterion does not have an impact on the time available for human recoveries or other non-recovery events such as loss of offsite power recoveries. There is also no impact on the equipment required for mitigation of any accident sequence. Even though the Catawba success criteria have not been revised, the conclusions from McGuire Impact on ILRT Extension References 45 and 56 document the MAAP analysis confirming core damage being defined as 2000 "F has no impact on success criteria. There is no impact on the ILRT extension.

In the Catawba Rev. 2b fault tree model, however, the dependency of the TDP on the SGTR initiator is not modeled. Thus, the TOP supply is not degraded by the initiating event in the model logic, so the model is incorrect. (This item is already on the list of corrective actions for the Catawba PRA, and Duke has indicated that it will be implemented in the Rev. 3 PRA.) This finding was made against NEI SR DE-5 with grade 3 being contingent on its resolution.

F&O QU The IE's for certain support system failures (RN, KC) are not input in the top event logic as a Boolean equation, but rather as a point estimate whose value is derived by solution of the IE fault tree. However, failures that cause the IE may also affect the mitigating system, such that there is a dependency between the initiating event and the available mitigation. Examples are an electrical bus that failed one train of KC and could fail one train of mitigating equipment. Another example is the operator error in the loss of KC to start the standby train of KC (KKCSTNBDHE). The HRA notebook states this event has dependencies with HYDBACKDHE. This finding was made against NEI SR DE-5 with grade 3 being contingent on its resolution.

For example, MLOCA success criteria analyses are done for a 3.5 inch break (file SAAG 96), while the MLOCA is defined as a 2 to 5 inch break. The combinations of systems and operator recoveries that are defined as success at 3.5 inches may not be success at 2 inches or at 5 inches.

As scheduled, the dependency of the TDAFW pump on the SGTR initiator was incorporated in the Rev. 3 PRA. Since this ILRT extension analysis uses Rev. 3b, this issue is resolved [Reference 17].

F&O QU-02: System level initiators represented as fully developed sub-tree structures are not in the Rev 3 model. Duke Energy feels that it is acceptable to not develop system level initiators as long as a review for dependencies takes place in the cut set file. This process has been proceduralized and is contained in Section 4 of Workplace Guideline XSAA-103, Guidelines For Determining Risk Significance.

For example, in the KC notebook, it is stated without a source reference that both pumps and the associated heat exchanger in a train are required for success when the ND (RH R) heat exchanger is required. Similarly, in Section 12 of the RN notebook, it is stated that the top events simply represent "failure to provide sufficient flow" to components requiring cooling without defining a flow rate or number of pumps (in Section 13 of the notebook it does state that failure to provide flow requires failure of all four pump trains).

None Dispositioned None Disposition NEI 00-02 does not have a precise equivalent to SY-A4. System analysis subelements DE-11, SY-10, and SY footnote S provide partial coverage. DE-11 requires walkdowns but specifies walkdowns to examine spatial dependencies, not, as SY-A4 requires, to confirm that the systems analysis correctly reflects the as-built, as-operated plant. Likewise, SY-1 O including Footnote S and F&O TH-06 specifically concern spatial or environmental dependencies, which are assessed as part of SRs SY-A21 and SY-A22. F&O TH-06 does not apply to SR SY-A4. Therefore the Grade 3 given to DE-11 and the Grade 2 given to SY-1 O by the peer review team do not apply to SR SY-A4. Compliance with SR-A4 is assessed by reference to the peer review teams notes on SY-10 and DE-11. The 2002 peer review's notes show that the peer review team specifically reviewed walkdown notes oriented to confirming that the systems analysis correctly reflects the as-built, as-operated plant (see notes R4 and R19 below).

Therefore, SY-A4 is considered met. The proposed resolution in Table C of the self-assessment suggests an enhancement to system documentation (see below). Completion of the enhancement will solidify the assessment that SR SY-A4 is met.

Self-assessment Table C indicates the following resolution under SY-A4: Enhance the system documentation to include an up-to-date system walkdown checklist and system engineer review for each system. Consider revising workplace procedure XSAA-106 to require that such documentation be revisited with each major PRA revision.

SY-AS corresponds to NEI 00-02 subelements SY-8, SY-11, QU-12, and QU-13, which provide partial coverage. Because subelement SY-11 and associated F&O SY-06 are limited to consideration of system performance in degraded environments, they are not closely related to this SR, and are assessed as part of SRs SY-A21, SY-A22, and SY-B14. QU-12 and especially QU-13 refer to model asymmetry, which does not cover the effects of normal and alternate alignments.

QU-12 and QU-13 were given a Grade 3 by the peer review team.SY-8 is also related to modeling normal and alternate alignments to the extent that it mentions test and maintenance availabilities, but does Impact on ILRT Extension Self-assessment Table E assesses the impact as follows: To support system model development, walkdowns and plant personnel interviews were performed.

Based on the disposition, the requirements of Cat JI are considered met. There is no impact on the ILRT extension.

success criteria that change as a function of plant status) into the system modeling. Example causes of variable system success criteria are:

(a) different accident scenarios.

Different success criteria are required for some systems to mitigate different accident scenarios (e.g., the number of pumps required to operate in some systems is dependent upon the modeled initiating event);

(b) dependence on other components. Success criteria for some systems are also dependent on the success of another component in the system (e.g.,

operation of additional pumps in some cooling water systems is required if non-critical loads are not isolated);

(c) lime dependence. Success criteria for some systems are time-dependent (e.g., two pumps are Revision 3 Status Open Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension Table A-1 Internal Events PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding/Observation F&O DE-04: HVAC cooling of the essential switchgear rooms is staled as being required.

There is no discussion of electrical load shedding for those loads not required, and of the human interface to execute load shedding. The human interface can be complex, involving both a discovery process (control room annunciators, or in the case of a local AHU failure, discovery through operator walkaround), and procedures and training to direct operation actions.

F&O AS-01: SAAG 427 describes the ATWS event tree analysis. Section 4, event B, describes how main feedwater is recovered after an A TWS. The probabilities used for main feedwater recovery are

.05, following a T2 (Loss of Load) and.2 following a T4 (Loss of MFW). In the non-ATWS analysis, the following non-recoveries (From SAAG 427) are:

T1 non-rec =.05 T4 - non-rec=.1 Considering that the critical time for FW to come on line in an A TWS event involving a loss of main feedwater is very short, even for conditions of favorable MTC, the use of non-recovery probabilities of this magnitude does not appear lo be justified without supporting analyses.

Peer Review F&O SY-03 is still open. While the success criteria have been updated, it has not been incorporated into the PRA model.

However, there are no significant changes to the success criteria [Reference 45]. so the impact on the ILRT extension is expected to be negligible.

The combinations of systems and operator recoveries that are defined as success at 3.5 inches may not be success at 2 inches or at 5 inches. This issue also applies to large LOCA (8.25 ft2 break analyzed in SAAG 97) vs a break range down to 6 inches, and small LOCA (1 inch break analyzed, SAAG 95) vs. break sizes from 3/8 to 2 inches.

Further, it was not clear that the MLOCA MAAP runs adequately match the accident sequence being modeled in the PRA. Cases in SAAG 96 do not appear to disable accumulators when defining the minimum ECC requirements, but accumulators are not required by the resulting MLOCA success criteria.

For example, in the KC notebook, it is stated without a source reference that both pumps and the associated heat exchanger in a train are required for success when the ND (RHR) heat exchanger is required. Similarly, in Section 12 of the RN notebook, it is stated that the top events simply represent "failure to provide sufficient flow" to components requiring cooling without defining a Disposition added to the system notebooks.

This equipment includes both active components (e.g., pumps, valves, and air compressors) and passive components (e.g., piping, heat exchangers, and tanks) required for system operation.

DO NOT INCLUDE in a system model component failures that would be beneficial to system operation, unless omission would distort the results.

The CA notebook has a similar statement without a tie to a specific basis.

None Dispositioned None Disposition The peer review found that the NEJ 00-02 subelements SY-6, SY-7, SY-8, SY-9, SY-12, SY-13, and SY-14 were met at Grade 3.

However, RG 1.200, Rev 2 indicates that the subelements listed provide only partial coverage. As evidenced by the note below from the peer review report, the peer review team considered the modeling of passive failures. Because the requirement for including passive failures is different in subelement SY-7 and SY-A 11, this SR is considered not met.

With respect to passive failure, the peer review report notes that:

(R 11) Passive failures were found in the model for check valves leaks and ruptures, heat exchanger leaks and fouling, orifice plugging, and valves transferring closed. An event for Service Water (RN) failure due to clams was also noted.

Per Duke self-assessment, the system models include multiple failure modes for most components, and all modeled components and associated failure modes are documented in the system notebooks.

Assumptions regarding components or failure modes excluded from the model are documented in the assumptions section of the system write-ups. Passive failures such as tanks and heat exchangers are modeled, although passive piping failures are generally not modeled since they are probabilistically insignificant. (A few exceptions: basic event BWSTPTHDEX, "Pipe Rupture Fails Flow From the BWST;"

SUMPRECDEX, "Pipe Rupture Fails Flow From the RE Emergency Sump;" WSSPJPEDEX, "Random Pipe Break in SSW System.")

According to RG 1.200, Rev. 2, this SR is not fully covered by NEI 00-

02. Partial coverage is provided by subelements SY-6, SY-7, SY-8, SY-9, SY-12, SY-13, SY-14 which were all met at Grade 3. The peer review report does not provide evidence that beneficial failures were excluded. Therefore, this SR was not fully evaluated in the 2003 peer review. The two Catawba PRA Quality Self-Assessments (DPC-1535.00-00-0013 and CNC-1535.00-00-0155) found that this SR is Impact on ILRT Extension Passive equipment typically has high reliability.

Therefore, passive equipment is not expected to contribute significantly to risk. Multiple spurious operations are considered in the PRA. There is no impact on the ILRT extension.

Based on the disposition, the requirements of Cat II are considered met. There is no impact on the ILRT extension.

Revision 3 Status Dispositioned Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension Table A-1 Internal Events PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations FindinglObservation F&O: SY-04: In the KC System Notebook (SAAG File No. 294), there is no basis provided in Section 11.3 for excluding the failure to isolate the Non-Essential Reactor Building Header from the fault trees. In discussion with the PRA engineer responsible for the notebook update, it was determined that three valves need to fail to close for flow diversion to take place, but there could be a common cause failure of these valves that was not justified to be excluded.

F&O SY-03: System success criteria are specified in the system notebooks in sufficient detail to describe the overall fault tree top events, but no basis is provided in the system notebooks for the number of pumps or flaw rate requirements. The Reference section 18.1 does not contain a link to an appropriate success criteria calculation. For example, in the KC notebook, it is stated without a source reference that both pumps and the associated heat exchanger in a train are required for success when the ND (RHR) heat exchanger is required. Similarly, in Section 12 of the RN notebook, it is stated that the top events simply represent "failure to provide sufficient flow" to components requiring cooling without defining a flow rate or number of pumps (in Section 13 of the notebook it does state that failure to provide flow requires failure of all four pump trains). The CA notebook has a similar statement without a tie to a specific basis.

F&O TH-03: Success Criteria analyses were not done for the range of possible plant conditions to which they are applied. For example, MLOCA success criteria analyses are done for a 3.5 inch Disposition met, and noted that beneficial failures are not included in the system models. By the nature of the system analysis methodology (fault trees), such failures are not easily included, because lower level failures result in failure of higher level functions.

SY-A13 corresponds to NEI 00-02 subelements SY-15 and SY-17.

F&Os SY-04 and TH-03 are also associated with this SR. Although neither subelement SY-15 norSY-17 specifically requires diversion pathways to be considered, F&O SY-04 makes it clear that the peer reviewers evaluated the sufficiency of the modeling of flow diversions.

The F&O has been addressed by justifying excluding the potential diversion flowpath in the system notebook. In order for an open flow path to the non-essential header to starve flow to required components there would have to be failures of multiple components (pumps and valves). The following assumption has been added to the KC system notebook: "The reactor building non-essential headers are not included in the fault tree as potential diversion pathways. In addition to failure of the reactor non-essential headers valves (KC3, -

18, -228, and -230), valves KC338, -424, and -425, which receive an Sp signal to close, would have to fail. Common cause failure of all of the involved valves is considered probabilistically insignificant."

CNC-1535.00-00-0038, Section K.11.3 "Assumptions" provides some qualitative consideration based upon the number of valves that would be required to fail. In addition CNC-1535.00-00-0011, Section 3.1, provides discussion regarding consideration of the loss of KC due to flow diversion pathway.

F&O SY-04 is closed by the clarification in the system notebook. The F&O itself is evidence that the peer review assessed to some extent whether diversion flow paths were adequately modeled. However, because NEI 00-02 does not explicitly require flow diversion pathways to be considered, the SR is considered not met at Category II.

F&O TH As part of establishing success criteria, a series of analyses were performed over a range of applications to ensure that computer codes employed provided realistic results. Success criteria sensitivities included analyses for a range of possible conditions, including the LOCA break sizes and availability of accumulators. In addition, a review of other industry design-basis calculations using Impact on ILRT Extension Flow diversion is considered in the PRA. There is no impact on the ILRT extension.

Peer Review F&O SY-03 is still open. While the success criteria have been updated, it has not been incorporated into the PRA model.

However, there are no significant changes to the success criteria [Reference 45], so the impact on the ILRT extension is expected to be negligible.

Additionally the success criteria for McGuire, (sister plant for Catawba), has been updated and no change in mitigation equipment was identified.

F&O DE-04: HVAC cooling of the essential switchgear rooms is stated as being required. The IPE quantitative analysis does not provide adequate success criteria. For example, the following are not specified: temperature limits of equipment, minimum number of Air Handling Units, or minimum number of chillers. The evaluation also states there is no concern within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> provided that only those loads needed to provide core cooling are operated.

There is no discussion of electrical load shedding for those loads not required, and of the human interface to execute load shedding. The human interface can be complex, involving both a discovery process (control room annunciators, or in the case of a local AHU failure, discovery through operator walkaround), and procedures and training to direct operation actions.

F&O QU-02: The IE's for certain support system failures (RN, KC) are not input in the top event logic Disposition cause failure of all of the involved valves is considered probabilistically insignificant."

F&O TH CNP PRA Tracker ID C-03-0052 for TH OPEN The loss of HVAC was screened as an initiating event in the CNP model based on judgment that sufficient time would allow for diagnosis of the loss of HVAC and recovery of standby equipment and/or alternate means of cooling. Any additional risk added by including the VC/YC systems in the PRA model would be small and would not have a significant impact on results for the ILRT extension application.

F&O SY-06 is not resolved because an evaluation of potential adverse effects on equipment operation due to degraded environmental conditions resulting from accidents in the PRA model has not been performed for events like steam line breaks and feed line breaks (Ref: PRA Tracker C-03-0055). The FPRA considers the impact of fire on the environment in the HGL analysis. High energy line breaks are not relevant to the FPRA.

This SR is covered by NEI 00-02 subelements DE-4, DE-5, DE-6, and SY-12. The 2002 peer review report assigns Grade 3 to subelements DE-6 and SY-12 and contingent Grade 3 to subelements DE-4 and DE-5. Level "B" F&Os associated with subelements DE-4 and DE-5 are DE-04, QU-02, and AS-07.

F&O DE-04 is not resolved because the loss of switchgear HVAC initiating event is not included in the PRA. A recent evaluation was performed (PIP C-13-05664) to determine the impact on the Fire PRA of not including switchgear room and battery HVAC modeling. The evaluation concluded that any additional risk added by including the VC/YC systems in the PRA model would be small and would not have a significant impact on the Fire PRA results or results for the NFPA-805 application.

F&O QU-02: System level initiators represented as fully developed sub-tree structures are not in the Rev 3 model. Duke Energy feels that it is acceptable to not develop system level initiators as long as a review for dependencies takes place in the cut set file. This process Impact on ILRT Extension Flood PRA (Reference 38).

This is considered resolved.

There is no impact on the ILRT extension.

Room heat-up analyses were performed for the switchgear rooms, battery rooms, and the control room

[References 40, 41, and 42].

The results of these analyses show that equipment in these rooms will not be adversely impacted by the loss of HVAC over the 24-hour mission time. There is no impact to the ILRT extension.

System level initiators modeled directly as fault trees will have little effect on the ILRT extension.

However, failures that cause the IE may also affect the mitigating system, such that there is a dependency between the initiating event and the available mitigation. Examples are an electrical bus that failed one train of KC and could fail one train of mitigating equipment. Another example is the operator error in the loss of KC to start the standby train of KC (KKCSTNBDHE). The HRA notebook states this event has dependencies with HYDBACKDHE.

F&O AS-07: The success criteria for AFW for SGTR is 1 CA pump to 2 steam generators. The ruptured SG is assumed to be one of the two steam generators that supply steam to the turbine-driven AFW pump. In the Catawba Rev. 2b fault tree model, however, the dependency of the TDP on the SGTR initialer is not modeled. Thus. the TDP supply is not degraded by the initiating event in the model logic, so the model is incorrect.

(This item is already on the list of corrective actions for the Catawba PRA, and Duke has indicated that it will be implemented in the Rev. 3 PRA.)

F&O: SY-03: System success criteria are specified in the system notebooks in sufficient detail to describe the overall fault tree top events, but no basis is provided in the system notebooks for the number of pumps or flow rate requirements. The Reference section 18.1 does not contain a link to an appropriate success criteria calculation. For example, in the KC notebook, it is stated without a source reference that both pumps and the associated heat exchanger in a train are required for success when the ND (RHR) heat exchanger is required. Similarly, in Section 12 of the RN notebook, it is stated that the top events simply represent "failure to provide sufficient flow" to Disposition has been proceduralized and is contained in Section 4 of Workplace Guideline XSAA-103, Guidelines For Determining Risk Significance.

F&O AS-07 is only applicable to SGTR events. The CA notebook was updated to reflect the correct success criteria due to SGTR loss of AFW pump, so AS-07 is considered resolved. As scheduled, the dependency of the TDAFW pump on the SGTR initiator was incorporated in the Rev. 3 PRA. Since this ILRT extension analysis uses Rev. 3b, this issue is resolved [Reference 17].

This SR is covered by NEI 00-02 subelements AS-18, SY-13, SY-17, TH-7, and TH-8. The 2002 peer review gave contingent Grade 3 to subelements SY-17 and TH-7. Therefore, this SR is not met at Category II. Associated level "B" F&Os are: TH-01, TH-03, TH-06 and SY-03.

F&O SY-03 -Although XSAA-115 (PRA Modeling Guidelines) has been revised to require success criteria reference to be provided, references to the appropriate system success criteria have not been added to the system notebooks. As a result, this F&O remains open due to incomplete documentation. This F&O remains open with grade 3 of NEI SR I meet CAT II of the ASME SR being not met.

Impact on ILRT Extension Peer Review F&O SY-03 is still open. While the success criteria have been updated, it has not been incorporated into the PRA model.

However, there are no significant changes to the success criteria, so the impact on the ILRT extension is negligible.

Additionally, the success criteria for McGuire, (sister plant for Catawba), has been updated and no change in Page 89of198

The CA notebook has a similar statement without a tie to a specific basis.

F&O TH-01: Success Criteria (Level 1 and Level 2) for some systems and sequences are supported by MAAP runs with MAAP 3b, Version 16. This version of MAAP has been found to have limitations which can impact conclusions and results. In particular for the Catawba PRA, the simple pressurizer model likely impacts the analyses that involve RCS cooldown and depressurization using SG heat removal by permitting RCS depressurization to match RCS cooldown for transients, without the possible need for pressurizer PO RVs, spray or aux spray.

F&O TH-03: Success Criteria analyses were not done for the range of possible plant conditions to which they are applied. For example, MLOCA success criteria analyses are done for a 3.5 inch break (file SAAG 96), while the MLOCA is defined as a 2 to 5 inch break. The combinations of systems and operator recoveries that are defined as success at 3.5 inches may not be success at 2 inches or at 5 inches. This issue also applies to large LOCA (8.25 ft2 break analyzed in SAAG 97) vs a break range down to 6 inches, and small LOCA (1 inch break analyzed, SAAG 95) vs. break sizes from 3/8 to 2 inches.

Further, ii was not clear that the MLOCA MAAP runs adequately match the accident sequence being modeled in the PRA. Cases in SAAG 96 do not appear to disable accumulators when defining the minimum ECC requirements, but accumulators are not required by the resulting MLOCA success criteria.

Disposition TH An updated success criteria calculation was completed using MAAP 4.0.7 (Section 2.2) and is documented into the updated CNS Success Criteria Notebook. This F&O is dispositioned based on the resolution of the finding and achieve grade 3 of the NEI SR.

However, the CNS Assessment of Peer Review Open Items (May 2013) identifies this F&O as remaining open because the current model of record does not reflect the updated information and as a result the ASME SR is considered Not Met.

F&O TH As part of establishing success criteria, a series of analyses were performed over a range of applications to ensure that computer codes employed provided realistic results. Success criteria sensitivities included analyses for a range of possible conditions, including the LOCA break sizes and availability of accumulators. In addition, a review of other industry design-basis calculations using alternate methods was employed to consider code limitations. This is considered to resolve the finding and achieve grade 3 of the NEI SR/

meet cat II of the ASME SR.

F&O TH CNP PRA Tracker ID C-03-0052 for TH OPEN F &O TH-06 is not resolved because the loss of switchgear HVAC initiating event is not included in the PRA, and room heatup calculations for loss of ventilation are not performed for that and other locations. Room heatup calculations should be performed in all locations in which HVAC can be lost to justify not modeling those systems and/or determine timing of operator coping actions and equipment damage. If no room heatup calculation is performed, it should be assumed that the HVAC system is required in those locations. The appropriate dependencies should be included in the PRA model, including possible initiating events. Any additional risk added by including the VC/YC systems in the PRA model would be small and would not have a significant impact on results for the ILRT extension application.

Disposition Catawba PRA Quality Self-Assessments (DPC-1535.00-00-0013 and CNC-1535.00-00-0155) determined that this SR is met, noting that systems required for initiation and actuation of other systems (e.g.,

There were 7 HEPs quantified in more detail, because the HEP importance was too high. However, there were 7 Latent Human Error events with a 3E-3 probability in the top 100 importance events in the CR2b quantification.

This observation does not necessarily have a large impact on the PRA results. However, per the HR subtier criteria, screening H EPs should not be used for actions appearing in important contributors.

Disposition The NEI SRs applicable to this ASME SR are HR-5 and HR-6, and there are no industry self-assessment actions and no NRG objections.

The original Peer Review rated HR-5 as "3" but HR-6 as "2" with associated level "B" F&Os HR-02 and TH-05. TH-05 does not seem relevant to this SR because pre-initiator HEPs are not based on thermal-hydraulics timing.

Both Self-assessments identified this element as N/A on the basis that "Screening is not performed."

Section 2.1 of the revised HRA Cale CNC-1535.00-00-0030 states that "The screening values permitted those pre-initiator actions that could be important with respect to the frequencies of core-damage sequences to be highlighted during the quantification process.

Interactions that were not important to any of the core-damage sequences based on use of the screening values were not modeled or quantified further.

Those interactions that surfaced as potentially important during the sequence quantification process were then evaluated in more detail in the second stage." As a result, Table 2.

However, there were 7 Latent Human Error events with a 3E-3 probability in the top 100 importance events in the CR2b quantification.

This observation does not necessarily have a large impact on the PRA results. However, per the HR subtier criteria, screening HEPs should not be used for actions appearing in important contributors.

Disposition (Type A) Human Interactions shows that 23 of the 56 pre-initiators were quantified with detailed analysis.

F&O HR-02: F&O HR-02 remains open (Ref: PRATracker C-03-0058) to provide detailed quantification of the dominant pre-initiator HEPs.

Detailed evaluations have been performed for 24 of 58 (41%) of the pre-initiator human error events (LHEs). Different LHEs may be more significant for fire than for internal event sequences since a fire can fail multiple components. However, cut sets that contain the screening value LHEs would be expected to decrease in importance since detailed evaluations tend to lower the probabilities assigned to the LH Es. Review of the cutsets data verified incorporation of mean LH E values into the database.

The NEI SRs applicable to this ASME SR are DA-5, DA-6, HR-5, HR-6, HR-7, and HR-26, and there are no NRC objections. There is an industry action to ensure single actions with multiple train consequences are evaluated in pre-initiators, since the screening rules in HR-6 do not preclude screening of activities that can affect multiple trains of a system. The original Peer Review rated DA-5, HR-5, HR-7, and HR-26 as "3", but HR-6 as "2" with associated level "B" F&Os HR-02 and TH-05, and DA-6 was "N/A". TH-05 does not seem relevant to this SR because pre-initiator HEPs are not based on thermal-hydraulics timing. DA-5 also has one level "B" F&Os: DA-01, but this F&O is not related to this SR, since the F&O is on component boundaries.

Both Self-assessments identified this element as N/A on the basis that "Screening is not performed."

CNC-1535.00-00-0030, Rev. 2, July 2012, HRA Cale, section 3.1 Quantification of Type A Interactions states that "Once each pre-initiator human interaction was further defined in terms of the specific failures of interest, the conditions that would affect their probabilities of occurrence were identified. These conditions, which were drawn from Table 5-2 of the ASEP methodology, include the following [Ref.

6]:

(1) Whether status of the unavailable component would be indicated by a compelling signal in the control room.

(2) Whether component status would be positively verified by a post-maintenance or post-calibration test.

(3) Whether there would be a requirement for an independent verification of the status of the component after test or maintenance activities.

(4) Whether there would be a check of the component status each shift or each day, using a written checklist.

An event tree was constructed to provide a framework for applying these conditions in evaluating individual pre-initiator interactions."

The NEI SRs applicable to this ASME SR are HR-11, HR-16, HR-17, HR-19, HR-20, AS-19, and SY-5, and there are no NRC objections.

There is an industry action to determine whether the requirements of the ASME/ANS PRA Standard are met. The original Peer Review rated AS-19 and SY-5 as "3", but HR-16, HR-17, HR-19, and HR-20 as "2", with associated level "B" F&Os HR-04, HR-05, TH-05, and HR-04, respectively. HR-11 was assessed as "NA".

F&O TH Operator actions are considered as part of the CNP success criteria analyses with expected operator actions included for SLOCA (Section 3.3), SGTR (Section 3.4), and transient F&B (Section 3.6). Specific timing information from MAAP analyses can be found in Appendices A through F MAAP. This F&O is dispositioned based on the resolution of the finding and achieve grade 3 of the NEI SR. However, the CNS Assessment of Peer Review Open Items (May 2013) identifies this F&O as remaining open because the current model of record does not reflect the updated information and as a result the ASME SR is considered Not Met.

The date stamp on the HEP Excel Spreadsheets is still 2005 so it is not apparent that any updates have been made. No Thermal-hydraulic analyses are referenced as the basis for the accident sequence specific timing for cues or overall time window, as required by the SR.

F&O HR-05: While this F&O remains open (PRATracker item C 0060) for documentation issues, success criteria, plant parameters and associated acceptance criteria derived from the success criteria analyses are used to support the timing analysis used in the PRA HRA. References to MAAP analysis that support the timing actions are included in the HRA spreadsheets.

F&O HR-04: While this F&O remains open (PRATracker item C 0059), CNC-1535.00-00-0030 contains the information needed to ascertain that the requirements for this SR are met, as noted below in the discussion from CNC-1535.00-00-0030.

F&O HR-05: In the Catawba HRA notebook for PRA Rev 2b (and similarly in the Catawba Rev 3 HRA notebook), the documentation of the bases for the HEPs is not sufficiently specified to assure that the analysis is reproducible. Specifically, the sequence context (e.g., previous failures in the event sequence, concurrent activities, environmental factors, etc.) and procedural steps applicable to each HEP are not consistently provided. Thus, even though there is evidence that the HEP worksheet information is being reviewed by plant Operations personnel, it is not clear that they would have sufficient supporting information with which to make an effective assessment of the H RA.

Similarly, the timing, PSF, stress level, and all other contributing factors to the HEP were printed, but the basis was not provided. It would not have been possible for another analyst to determine the same factors and derive the same number.

"To delineate system response to particular types of upset events, it can be as important to understand the intended response of the operating crew in using the system as ii is to understand the design of the system itself. Thus, in defining the sequence delineation for particular initiating events, it was necessary to review carefully the operating procedures, including the emergency procedures and the various abnormal procedures. This review was aimed at identifying any operator-driven considerations that would affect the modeling process, such as the priorities that might come into play when multiple options were available for maintaining core cooling, or the cues that might indicate the need to change operating modes. These procedure reviews were augmented by obtaining input from operators. This was done by having current and former operators review the sequence logic and system fault trees; through extensive discussions with operators regarding specific scenarios; and, to the extent possible, by observing simulator exercises."

The NEI SRs applicable to this ASME SR are HR-15, HR-17, and HR-18, and there are no industry self-assessment actions and no NRC objections. The original Peer Review rated HR-15 as "3", but HR-17 as "2", with associated level "B" F&O HR-05. HR-18 was assessed as "N/A" (F&Os of HR-05, HR-09 and TH-05 were cited but they are not directly relevant lo this SR).

DPC-1535.00-00-013, Rev. 2. 2008 Self-assessment Table 1 considers this SR to be met on the following basis: "The Type C HRA uses detailed analyses for the estimation of H EPs for significant HFEs. The human cognitive reliability model or the caused-based approach was used to quantify cognition errors, and an abbreviated version of TH ERP to quantify execution errors. Screening values have been used for HEPs for non-significant human failure basic events."

F&O DA-05: The unavailabilities computed for the basic events for PORV block valve closure, RNC031BDEX, 033ADEX, and 035BDEX, assume that each PORV is closed one week per quarter.

The three distributions have error factors of close to 10.0. The error factor assigned to MVR is -2.6.

More recent generic data should be pursued. Component failures should be defined such that they encompass only those failures that would disable the component over the PRA mission time. It appears that this has not been considered.

3 Failure Rate and Maintenance Unavailability Data.

First, repeat events in a short duration, where there was insufficient component repair should be counted as one event. An example is PIP nos. 2-C97-2481 and 2-C97-2637 on 7/29/97 and 8/12/97 for incoming breaker 2CXl-5C. The first failure occurred "for no apparent reason", but the second failure was attributed to a failed relay. The first event should be omitted as a component failure as the component was left in the degraded condition.

Second, component degradation that results in failure to meet normal criteria (e.g., to avoid component life degradation), may not impact the component mission for the PRA. For example, PIP no. O-C98-2057 involved a 6/7/98 event for trouble alarms for VI compressor F, and the compressor motor was found smoking. The evaluation addressed concern with overheating and insulation breakdown, but did not address whether run to failure would survive PRA mission. Similar pump failures due to routine vibration testing exceeding limits were found (LPR 28 & 1A, WO 93020502 &

The denominators for calculation of plant-specific equipment failure data are determined in SAAG 492 by estimating the number of demands, run hours, or exposure hours for each component in the PRA. Each PRA system analyst reviewed each basic event in their system to determine the average annual number of demands, or the average number of operating hours or exposure hours for each component.

The type code for this event is MVR. This type code is used in the calculation of the ISLOCA frequency.

In the SAROS database, this distribution is composed of three equally weighted distributions.

The three distributions have error factors of close to 10.0. The error factor assigned to MVR is -2.6.

This is impossible - the error factor should be close to ten. The following provides additional explanation of this issue.

Often it is useful to develop a distribution based on combining several distributions. That is f(A) = Li wi fi(A}, i =1... n. Such an operation often does not possess a closed solution and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations are required. However, care must be taken in implementing the MC solution. People are often tempted to set up a MC process where one iteration for I is based on taking samples from the weighted sum of samples from each of the fi(A)'s.

This is incorrect. This, in effect, loses data and results in a unimodal function. In the case of two equally weighted functions A and B where every point on A is less than any point on B, the lower points of A and the higher points of B would not be in the resulting distribution. While the mean is preserved, the variance is understated and is incorrect. The proper method is to obtain samples for A, weight them, and put them in a pool. Then obtain samples for B, weight them, and put them in the pool. The points in the pool are MC distribution and, in this case, would be bi-modal. Note that page 5-38 of NUREG/CR-2300 uses the above equation and notes that it may produce a non-unimodal distribution.

For example (intrasystem case), the charging system in some plants has a third train that may be out of service for extended periods of time coincident with one of the other trains and yet is in compliance with tech specs.

Examples of intersystem unavailability include plants that routinely take out multiple components on a "train schedule" (such as AFW train A and HPI train A at a PWR, or RHR train A and LPCS train A at a BWR).

Data on recovery from loss of offsite power, loss of service water, etc.

Revision 3 Status Dispositioned Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension Table A-1 Internal Events PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding/Observation F&O IE-04: The initiating event frequency for a stuck open PORV or safety valve is taken from NUREG/CR-5750 but is conservative for the following reasons. The NU REG assigned a value to these events based on a non-informative prior updated with o events and the total number of critical reactor years in the study. In the case of a spurious opening of a primary safety valve, the model should address the potential for the valve to close as the pressure decreased, effectively terminating the loss of coolant. The evaluation of the subsequent reclosure of the PORV is not as straightforward. The cause of the opening PORV would need to be addressed. However, either the PORV could be closed or the block valve could be closed.

However, this type of maintenance coordination does not involve more than one train of equipment, and does not result in the plant taking on more risk.

From SAAG 655, F&O DA-05 was addressed by revising unavailabilities of PORV block valves to more realistic values.

This recovery event is applied to a) loss of KC pumps b) SNSDRNVLHE - drain plug blockage c) CCF of ND pumps.

The recovery event is intended to provide injection flow for the long term commensurate with the RWST make-up capability. The time of some of these failure is 2a minutes, when injection requirements are beyond the make-up capability of the RWST.

NOTE: Truncation should be carefully assessed in cases where cutsets are merged to create a solution (e.g., where system level cutsets are merged to create sequence level cutsets).

ESTABLISH truncation limits by an iterative process of demonstrating that the overall model results converge and that no significant accident sequences are inadvertently eliminated. For example, convergence can be considered sufficient when successive reductions in truncation value of one decade result in decreasing changes in COF or LERF, and the final change is less than 5%.

ACCOUNT for system successes in addition to system failures in the evaluation of accident sequences to the extent needed for realistic estimation of COF. This accounting may be accomplished by using numerical quantification of success probability, complementary logic, or a delete term approximation and includes the treatment of transfers among event trees where the Revision 3 Status Oispositioned Open Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension Table A-1 Internal Events PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding/Observation truncation limit yields 4485 cutsets, while the 1E-10 truncation limit yields 31512 cutsets.

This is "core cooling recovery" with an unisolated SGTR. ECA3 specifies cool down at less than 1 OOF/hr. The core cannot be maintained covered for the amount of time it takes to cooldown to RHR conditions at 1 OOF/hr.

Thus, the TOP supply is not degraded by the initiating event in the model logic, so the model is incorrect.

This approach would satisfy CC-I. However, Duke is using the Conditional Containment Failure Probabilities (CCFPs) from Rev. 0 of NUREG/CR-6595 rather than the more restrictive values from Revision 1. To meet this requirement would require using the NUREG/CR-6595, Rev. 1 CCFP values or providing an engineering analysis to defend use of the older values.

At the time of the peer review, Duke did have a white paper, "Conditional Containment Failure Probabilities for the McGuire and Catawba Large Early Release Frequency Models", November 2012, (Reference 10) that discusses the basis for the use of the CC FPs from Revision 0 of NUREG/CR-6595. However, this white paper was not provided as part of the official documentation for the review and as such, was not directly reviewed. A later review of this white paper indicates that Duke appears to have a reasonable basis for using the revision 0 CCFP values based on plant-specific analysis. Duke should include this information in their LERF analysis reports.

Based on the plant specific analyses performed, the CCFPs utilized in the current CNS LERF analyses (based on NUREG/CR-6595 original issue) are judged to be better estimates than the estimates available from NUREG/CR-6427 or NUREG/CR-6595 revision 1 and are appropriate for a LERF model at CC I. The CNS peer review noted that the position paper appeared to be a reasonable basis for using the NUREG/CR-6595 revision o results. Duke also believes that the NUREG/CR-6595 revision O results are better estimates than the revision 1 results.

Per Reference 36, LERF model is sufficient to support risk-informed applications.

Impact on ILRT Extension sufficient to support risk-informed applications.

Limitations with the NUREG/CR-6595 LERF approach used for Catawba include consideration of whether the estimated LERF is significantly below (about an order of magnitude or more) the R.G. 1.174 acceptance guideline. Duke believes the LERF model to be conservative and believes the NUREG/CR-6595 method is acceptable for fire since it produces adequate risk insights. Overall, the impacts to the ILRT extension are expected to be minimal.

Dispositioned LE-G3-01 (F): In CNC-1535.00-00-061, Catawba documents the significant contributors to LERF in terms of contribution by initiating events. However, they did not document the relative contribution of contributors such as plant damage states, accident progression sequences, phenomena, containment challenges and containment failure modes.

To move from CC-I to CC-11/111, Catawba needs to evaluate the relative contributions to LERF by such things as plant damage states, accident progression sequences, phenomena, containment challenges, and containment failure modes.

Open LE-G6-01 (F): Catawba did not document the quantitative definition of significant accident progression sequence.

Catawba needs to add a definition for significant accident progression sequence to CNC-1535.00-00-0143, Rev. 0 or CNC-1535.00-00-061. This can be accomplished by adding a specific definition of referencing the appropriate definition in Section 1-2 of RA-Sa-2009.

Disposition The Westinghouse report suggested that improving this SR to a Cat II would require evaluating the relative contributions to LERF by such things as plant damage states, accident progression sequences, phenomena, containment challenges and containment failure modes. Meeting Cat I already satisfies the application and improving to Cat II would only result in improved documentation.

The Westinghouse report suggested that Catawba add a definition for significant accident progression sequence to the documentation.

54003-CALC-02 SR IFPP-A2 Revision 3 2009 ASME/ANS Cat II Requirement DEFINE flood areas at the level of individual rooms or combined rooms/halls for which plant design features exist to restrict flooding.

Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension Table A-3 Internal Flood PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Status Finding/Observation Dispositioned IFPP-A2-01 (F): Discrepancies exist regarding the defining of flood areas at the level of individual rooms. The CNS PRA clearly meets Capability Category I which is based on defining flood areas at the building level. There are some areas within the buildings which are not clearly part of flood areas, where boundaries are vaguely defined, or for where the flood area boundaries are defined inconsistent with the requirements of the Standard.

Pipe trenches on AB522 are not included in any of the Flood Areas as defined in Att. A to the -022 calculation.

The flood Zone boundary between 594A01 and 594A05 goes through the middle of a hallway south of the HVAC room (similarly for Unit 2 side).

There is no discussion on why this is an appropriate boundary for a flood zone. It appears this flood zone should have been defined by the walls and doors to the immediate south of the Main Control Room. Floods could clearly propagate without being impeded as this flood boundary was defined.

Given the number of rooms with enclosed doors and flood sources within the plant, the Flood Zones would have been better defined with greater level of detail. As done, this results in many flooding barriers within a Zone. The AB522 flood area, for example, could have been subdivided since the Containment Spray (NS) and Residual Heat Removal (ND) pumps are in separate rooms, with the ND pumps behind doors. Also, while liquid will spray down into all of these rooms, propagation within the room complex could differ depending on flood sources at higher elevations.

Figure A-3 in CN-RAM-11-022 shows an incorrect location of the NI pump rooms and NV pump rooms. Room 233 is not defined as part of any Disposition Per LTR-RAM-11-13-008, flood zone drawings were evaluated and updated to provide required level of detail to meet Cat II.

Dispositioned IFSO-A6-01 (F): Discrepancies exist in Walkdown Notes.

Walkdown notes identify a number of rooms which are part of the 554A01 and 554A02 Flood Areas as at elevation 560'.

Walkdown notes for 577 A01 general area does not list CCW HX's, which are very large components, as flood sources. Various radwaste tanks located in general areas in teh auxiliary building were apparently not identified in teh walkdown notes.

Note no equipment elevation information is provided for the 577 A02 or 577 A03 (rooms 419 and 427) mechanical penetration area PRA equipment in the walkdown notes.

Main control room walkdown notes indicate two double watertight doors to the main control room.

Drawing CN-1040-04 appears to show at least three double doors and three other doors that are not identified in the walkdown notes.

Note Table B-1 of CN-RAM-11-023 lists an 18 inch critical height for CA pumps, whereas Table B-2 uses a 16 inch critical height.

Note the header on many of the walkdown notes is incorrect. The 560A01 general area has a header of "Aux. Bldg. 577' General Area." (p,212 ff.) The 577 General area 577 A01 has a heading referencing to a stairwell. This introduces some confusion in checking the information in !eh walkdown notes, including checks for validity.

References to calculations such as break flow were not identified.

Dispositioned IFSO-B3-01 {F): No discussion of impact of sources of uncertainty with respect to partitioning was documented.

No discussion of impact of sources of uncertainty with respect to flooding sources was documented.

Dispositioned IFSN-A7-01 (F): Catawba is assuming that floor drains are capable of responding to Spray (1 OOGPM) events so that such events do not need to be analyzed or further evaluated. Many Internal Flooding PRA's do not take any credit for drains, even for 1 OOGPM Spray events, due to generally poor maintenance practices and availability for Sump Pumps, as well as due to the possibility that whatever flood event is going on will cause any debris in the room (self-generated or left after maintenance) to clog the drains and/or damage sump pumps. Generally, Preventive Maintenance Tasks or surveillance requirements for drains should exist prior to crediting the drains for flood Disposition Flood rates were based on EPRI methodology to support the IEF generation for given scenarios of spray, flood, major flood or HELB. For flood rates this resulted in evaluating the upper bound of a system's capacity and assigning the appropriate failure mechanisms (e.g. for a system with a 1,000 gpm max flow rate spray and floods were deemed appropriate failure mechanisms). All calculations used and references were adequately explained and documented throughout the analysis. For example the drain flaw rate calculations were performed and documented in a manner which would allow for them to be reproduced independently. The documents were re-examined and no other calculations were found to need additional documentation or clarification.

Per LTR-RAM-11-13-008, the existing documentation was reviewed and two additional assumptions were added to cover any associated uncertainties related to source or plant partitioning.

Per L TR-RAM-11-13-008, the finding was addressed by re-evaluating the credit of drains in the source of the spray. The drain system at CNS was only credited for spray scenarios in which the flow rate from the associated break is 1 OOgpm or fess. This was substantiated by documented calculations in which one drain was shown to be able to accommodate over 1 OOgpm with a minimal amount of standing water. This credit was considered conservative and was not taken for flood and major flood mitigation or timing. Additionally all PRA-related components are considered failed within the originating flood Impact on ILRT Extension This is a documentation issue and is resolved [Reference 38].

Also, the geometry of the drain system should be investigated to ensure that it is not prone to blockages (e.g., check valve failures).

This assumption would specifically impact not evaluating a 1 OOGPM spray scenario in the Diesel Generator buildings, since if undetected this would flood the diesel room to four feet and then start flooding the switchgear areas. It would be legitimate to credit the drains in the switchgear areas ~walkdown notes indicate five 6 inch diameter drains in the switchgear rooms (zone 560A05 and 560A06). Water height for a 100 GPM release would be minimal, less than one inch, so the equipment in the switchgear rooms would not be damaged if the flood progressed to that point.

While in general drains outside the immediate area would suffice to prevent flooding, this needs to be confirmed given the small number of drains that are reported for the large Aux. Bldg. general areas.

IFSN-A10-01 (F): CN-RAM-12-005, Identification and Estimation of Initiating Event Frequencies, Table 5-4, CNS Passive System Failure Frequency by Flood Area:

Table 5-4 (page 33) lists KF as a potential flood source in flood area 543A01. There is no flood or major flood initiator for KF in this flood area in Table 5-5, CNS Passive System Failure Frequency by Initiator. There is no scenario developed for failure of this piping (see CN-RAM-11-023, Characterization of Flood Scenarios, Section 5.4.2).

The new analysis will increase the level of detail and increase the scope to include all Appendix R equipment, the PRA equipment and the NPO equipment. As part of this re-analysis, CNS is making plant modifications as needed. However, at this time, this analysis is not complete. SR considered met at CC-I.

The review of the components selected for Y3 in Appendix B do not provide justification that the components and routings for Y3 are a complete list and that the systems can be credited in all of the fire areas and scenarios where they have been excluded from the UNL list. This SR was judged to be not met.

Disposition An assumption was added to the FPRA Summary Report to indicate that the Y3 components are based on assumed routing. The Y3 list of basic events was developed considering both power and control cables in which each Y3 component could be credited. Sensitivity analysis performed in the FPRA Summary Report show that the impact of the Y3 components on quantification is relatively minimal. Credit by exclusion was used as a reasonable alternative to cable routing of Fire PRA components of lesser importance. Since this F&O has been closed and met, there is negligible impact to the ILRT extension.

The update of the breaker coordination and protection analysis was completed subsequent to the peer review and has since been incorporated into the Fire PRA. Breaker coordination related interlocks from pseudo components modeled in DATATRAK that were tabulated in Section 6.0 of the CNS Appendix R Coordination Study (Document No. 32-9043224) have been included in the Fire PRA as described in the Cable Selection Report. The model used for the ILRT extension application included this update; therefore, there is no impact to the ILRT extension.

The methodology for HRA adjustments does not explicitly address instrumentation, timing and procedural impacts other than simple vs. complex actions, which per HRA-81-01 were noted as not defined in the documentation. The SR was judged to be not met.

A finding from the FPIE evaluation stated that HEPs are not converted from medians to means. This issue was said to be addressed with a sensitivity case.

However, this issue should be addressed in the Fire PRA. SR considered met at CC-I.

Disposition instrumentation, operator stress, and possible impact on timing. This conservative approach is judged to be consistent with a CC-I approach as indicated in SR HRA-C1 of the standard. With the HRA at CC-I, the Fire PRA results possess a conservative bias from this aspect of the analysis.

With overall risk metric results of the Fire PRA acceptable, the conservatism does not impede the use of the Fire PRA for the transition to NFPA 805. No actions have been taken to bring this HRA element to CC-II. The only potential effects on the ILRT extension are conservative; therefore, this F&O does not adversely affect the ILRT extension.

The HEP multiplier process is intended to implicitly address timing, procedure use, and instrument availability (when considered along with the instrument review documented in the component selection calculation). No changes have been made to bring the HRA to CC-II. Any effects on the ILRT extension are small and would not have a significant impact on results for the ILRT extension application.

The HEP values have been converted from median to mean in the Fire PRA model. Since this F&O has been closed and met, there is negligible impact to the ILRT extension.

Revision 3 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension Table A-4 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Status Closed I Met Addressed with no significant impacts to the NFPA 805 application I Met Finding The one recovery action developed for the Fire PRA (TSSPZRLRHE) is not proceduralized nor is it trained on. There is no discussion of why this action can be credited, which is contrary to the requirements of HR-H2 so this SR is Not Met.

Section 4 of CNC-1535.00-00-0111 addresses PRA model quality for fire PRA use. Two potentially significant items not addressed are HRA pre-initiators (HR-A3 and HR-06) and failure probability data (DA-

81) from DPC-1535.00-00-0013 revision 2. Section 4 of the FPRA Model Development should address these two items. This SR was judged to be not met.

Disposition TSSPZRLRHE is not a "fire recovery" in the context of NFPA 805. This is an action added to the Fire PRA model to address a specific accident sequence (not fire specific) that was not yet included in the internal events model. Section 5.1 of the Model Development Report has been updated to better describe the basis for crediting this operator action. The only other non-proceduralized actions in the FPRA results are actions SMAN001 RHE and SMAN002RHE, which are the failure to swap to sump recirculation in the event of a common cause failure of the FWST level transmitters during FWST drawdown (SMAN001 RHE for a small LOCA; SMAN002RHE for a medium or large LOCA). Even with these two HEPs set to 1.0 there is no change to the FPRA risk results. Even though this action is not proceduralized, it has been demonstrated in simulator exercises that the crews will use alternate indications to successfully perform the swap. Since this F&O has been closed and met, there is negligible impact to the ILRT extension.

The CNS internal events peer review was conducted under NEI 00-02. There is no internal event PRA finding which corresponds to element HR-06 in the ASME/ANS PRA Standard; however, the HEPs have been quantified using mean values in the Fire PRA. There were no internal events peer review findings against HR-A3. No changes have been made to the Fire PRA.

54003-CALC-02 SR PRM-85-01 Topic For those fire-induced initiating events included in the Internal Events PRA model, REVIEW the corresponding accident sequence models and IDENTIFY any existing accident sequences that will require modification based on unique aspects of the plant fire response procedures in accordance with HLR-AS-A and HLRAS-B of the ASME PRA Standard and their support requirements and IDENTIFY any new accident sequences that Revision 3 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension Table A-4 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Status Finding Closed I Met Reactor trip was used for fire initiating events in the model, although feedwater is failed due to lack of routing information. The plant response model is not the same for the plant trip and loss of feedwater initiating events, for example the probability of lifting a PORV or SRV is 1 E-2 for loss of feedwater and 1 E-3 for plant trip. The SR was judged to be met.

Disposition unavailability, calibration HEPs and misalignment of multiple trains of equipment are not expected to contribute significantly to overall equipment unavailability. Thus there is no material impact on the Fire PRA and no changes to the pre-initiator human error modeling have been made for the Fire PRA. The internal events peer review identified a finding against DA-81 (F&O DA-01) which noted that the data development workplace procedure did not identify component boundaries.

The finding went on to note that component boundaries are apparent from the data. The change to the workplace procedure does not impact the Fire PRA quantification and no examples where the data was found to be incorrect were identified. Modest changes to the random failure rates have little impact on the results as fire-induced failures are far more significant in the Fire PRA results. Since this F&O has been met, there is negligible impact to the ILRT extension.

The Fire PRA model was modified to add gate IEFIRES which enables the fire initiating events to inherit the plant response logic for any transient event. The transient logic in the IEPRA and consequently the Fire PRA includes transfers to all of the necessary support systems logic. Updated Section 6.3 of the Fire PRA Model Development report. Since this F&O has been closed and met, there is negligible impact to the ILRT extension.

Revision 3 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension Table A-4 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Status Finding Closed I Met The seismic/fire interaction evaluation is discussed in Section 3.13 of CNC-1535.00-00-0112. In general, CNS relies upon the assessments performed for the IPEEE analyses, in particular, the walkdowns. The IPEEE walkdown is documented in CNC-1435.00 0007 and the overall IPEEE is documented in the IPEEE Submittal Report. There is no indication in the documents provided that both seismic-induced fire as well as seismic-induced failure of fire mitigation systems has been considered. The SR was judged to be not met.

Closed I Met This SR basically requires that CNS qualitatively assess their existing fire brigade training procedures to determine if the training has prepared the brigade to respond to fire alarms after an earthquake, to review their staging of fire mitigation equipment and to assess whether or not the occurrence of a seismically induced fire and any associated damage might compromise either of these elements. The CNS seismic/fire interaction evaluation is discussed in Section 3.13 of CNC-1535.00-00-0112. In general, CNS relies upon the assessments performed for the IPEEE analyses, in particular, the walkdowns. The IPEEE walkdown is documented in CNC-1435.00-00-0007 and the overall IPEEE is documented in the IPEEE Submittal Report.

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension SR PP-B3 PP-B5 CS-B1 FSS-B2 Revision 3 Table A-5 Fire PRA - Category I Summary Topic Status Spatial separation not relied upon for compartment assignments. This SR, PP-B3, is judged to be met at CC-I since no spatial separation is credited and CC-II/Ill requires crediting of spatial separation as credited in the regulatory fire protection program.

Basis for Significance: As performed, adequate compartmentalization is used for the Catawba fire PRA. Possible Resolution: For CC-11/111, refinement of the compartmentalization to smaller compartment is required. (F&O PRM-B3-01)

No active fire barrier elements are credited for Catawba Fire PRA compartmentalization. The credited passive fire barriers correspond to barriers credited in the regulatory fire protection program.

Basis for Significance: The Catawba fire PRA credits only fire rated passive barriers. In order to meet Capability Category 111111, crediting of active fire barrier elements in fire compartment boundaries, with appropriate justification, is necessary.

Possible Resolution:

If CC-111111 is

desired, the PRA compartmentalization must be revised with credits for active fire barriers, with appropriate justification. (F&O PRM-B5-01)

CNS performed a review of their existing electrical over-current coordination and protection analysis. As a result of this review, CNS identified a number of deficiencies in terms of scope and level of detail. CNS is currently in the process of completely redoing their electrical over-current coordination and protection analysis. The new analysis will increase the level of detail and to increase the scope to include all Appendix R equipment, the PRA equipment and the NPO equipment. As part of this re-analysis, CNS is making plant modifications as needed. However, at this time, this analysis is not complete.

Basis for Significance: A review of the existing electrical over-current coordination and protection analysis is required to meet the SR even at the CC-I level. Possible Resolution: To move from CC-I up to CC-111111 complete the ongoing update of the electrical over-current coordination and protection analysis and formally issue the report. (F&O CS-B1-01)

Section 3.1.3 of CNC-1535.00-00-010 and Appendix E of that document identifying fire-driven parameters necessitating abandonment discuss the conditions that are assumed for fire scenarios W1 and W2 addressed in the document. A bounding type analysis for the control room was performed. To achieve Capability Category II requires a realistic characterization. The scenario analyzed are bounding in nature but could be tweaked for more realism and analysis with additional detail in order to achieve a Capability Category II rating.

Basis for Significance: Analysis presented satisfies Capability Category I requirements. Possible Resolution: If Capability Category II is desired, perform As indicated by the reviewer, adequate compartmentalization is used for the CNS Fire PRA. Not crediting spatial separation as a partitioning feature is conservative; therefore, CC-I for this SR is acceptable for the NFPA 805 application. The only potential effects on the ILRT extension are conservative; therefore, this F&O does not adversely affect the ILRT extension.

The Catawba Fire PRA analysis did not credit active barriers for partitioning, which is a conservative treatment. CC-I for this SR is acceptable for the NFPA 805 application. The only potential effects on the ILRT extension are conservative; therefore, this F&O does not adversely affect the ILRT extension.

The update of the breaker coordination and protection analysis was completed subsequent to the peer review and has since been incorporated into the Fire PRA. In some cases, the Fire PRA results were updated to reflect a larger cable footprint for affected power sources by including cables for uncoordinated loads (via related pseudo components). In other cases, the Fire PRA credited modifications to minimize or eliminate the coordination issues. This SR is now considered met at CC-11/111. The model used for the ILRT extension application included this update; therefore, there is no impact to the ILRT extension.

The MCR abandonment evaluation employed acceptable fire modeling methods and the calculated CCDP is based on the proceduralized success path provided by the SSF. CC-I for this SR is bounding; therefore CC-I is considered acceptable for the NFPA 805 application. However, the contribution of MCR abandonment is not inordinate to the overall fire CDF/LERF. The only potential effects on the ILRT extension are conservative; therefore, this F&O does not adversely affect the ILRT extension.

A two-point treatment was used for isolated selected scenarios such as low energy panels but not for "each selected" scenario.

Basis for Significance: Analysis performed addresses Capability Category I requirements and more but not to the extent to qualify for a Capability Category II rating. Possible Resolution: If Capability Category II rating is desired, a preponderance of evaluated scenarios should be evaluated using two-point methodology. (F&O FSS-C1-01)

Peak heat release rates reflected in NUREG 6850 were utilized. Time-dependent growth heat release rate curves were not discussed.

01)

Burn out was considered in analysis for hot gas layer impact but did not seem to be based on fuel exhaustion but rather taking the room condition to total involvement. Additional discussion and detail addressing fuel exhaustion is required for improved rating.

Basis for Significance: Analysis performed appears to satisfy requirement but does not address detail for higher than Capability Category I rating. Possible Resolution: If Capability Category 111111 is desired, additional analysis considering the impact of fuel exhaustion in each compartment is required. (F&O FSS-C3-01)

Structural collapse is not deemed likely or addressed further. This meets Capability Category I which does not have any requirements identified. The discussion of structural collapse is qualitative in nature which does not meet the requirements for Capability Category 111111 structural collapse analyses.

Basis for Significance: Capability Category I has no requirements identified, so that SR CC-I is met. Capability Category 11/111 required more in-depth scenario development, identifying the criteria for structural collapse. Possible Resolution:

If Capability Category 111111 is desired, then more detailed structural analysis is required to be incorporated into the model. However, this may not always be cost effective. (F&O FSS-F2-01)

No quantitative discussion is provided. A qualitative discussion of structural collapse is provided in Section 3.2 of CNC-1535.00-00-011.

The Fire PRA analysis was updated to increase the number of scenario refinements using a 2-point treatment. Analysis has since been updated; SR now considered met at CC-II. The model used for the ILRT extension application included this update; therefore, there is no impact to the ILRT extension.

Time-dependent HRR profiles have since been incorporated into numerous high risk scenarios. Analysis has since been updated; SR now considered met at CC-II. The model used for the ILRT extension application included this update; therefore, there is no impact to the ILRT extension.

The treatment for the hot gas layer is a conservative screening evaluation; therefore CC-I is considered acceptable for the NFPA 805 application. The only potential effects on the ILRT extension are conservative; therefore, this F&O does not adversely affect the ILRT extension.

The Fire PRA locations were reviewed and determined to not meet the definition in FSS-F1. Therefore, this SR is N/A.

Therefore, this F&O does not adversely affect the ILRT extension.

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension SR FSS-G4 FSS-H2 HRA-A3 Revision 3 Table A-5 Fire PRA - Category I Summary Topic Status Basis for Significance: Qualitative discussion meets criterion for Capability Category I. Capability Category 11/111 requires specific risk determination for structural collapse. Possible Resolution: If Capability Category 11/111 grading is required, then update of the Catawba Fire PRA is required that specifically determines fire risk resulting in structural collapse as per the SR. (F&O FSS-F3-

Plans indicate that some three-hour boundaries are constructed with two-hour block with grout filled cells. No justification for this arrangement and its adequacy was provided. This is also a plant partitioning issue.

Basis for Significance: Used three-hour fire rated fire area boundaries and allowed for barrier failure in screening analysis, Attachment 4 of the Fire Scenario Report [CNC-1535.00-00-011 OJ.

Possible resolution: To achieve Capability Category 11, provide original plant construction documents and/or industry test information and building code acceptance information to justify the validity of two-hour block with grout filled cells being equivalent to a three-hour barrier. (F&O FSS-G4-01)

Duke testing was not used. Hughes report was the default report for damage mechanisms resulting in zone of influence damage criteria.

Basis for Significance: Used zone of influence scoping and documented in Generic Fire Modeling Treatments Report for project 1 SPH.02902.030 and CNC-1535.00-00-0110. Thresholds for target damage were based on industry criteria for damage with zone of influence assessment for Catawba. Catawba specific damage criteria were not used. Possible Resolution: In order to meet Capability Category 11/111 classification, the use of Catawba plant-specific damage criteria is required. Determination of plant-specific damage criteria is required with a well document technical basis. Revise and update the Fire PRA as noted above. (F&O FSS-H2-01)

The Equipment Selection Calculation CNC-1535.00-00-0108 revision 0, addresses spurious instrumentation under "Errors of Commission". This section states "No specific instruments were identified that would cause an undesired operator action without first taking one or more confirmatory actions". The results of the assessment are provided, but no details are provided on who performed the review, what method was used, and what procedures were reviewed.

Basis for Significance: There is not sufficient documentation to determine the SR is met. Possible Resolution: Add documentation describing what procedures were reviewed, what method was applied during the review, and what the qualification of the individual performing the review was. (F&O ES-C2-01)

Therefore, this F&O does not adversely affect the ILRT extension.

While conditions within the plant may still be impacted by the fire event, the major actions associated with fire mitigation are assumed to be complete within a 1 to 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> time frame. From NUREG/CR-6850, fire barriers with a minimum fire protection endurance rating of one hour can be credited to prevent the spread of fire. Therefore, the difference between a 2 or 3 hour3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> barrier rating is inconsequential to the Fire PRA. Therefore, this F&O is inconsequential the ILRT extension.

The damage criteria applied in the Generic Fire Modeling Treatments are taken from NUREG/CR-6850. No plant-specific data is available for use in lieu of NUREG/CR-6850. Since the plant-specific ignition sources are comparable to those in the Generic Fire Modeling Treatments, use of ZOI information based on the generic configurations is considered acceptable for the NFPA 805 application. Therefore, this F&O does not adversely affect the ILRT extension.

Analysis has since been updated; SR now considered met at CC-II. The model used for the ILRT extension application included this update; therefore, there is no impact to the ILRT extension.

There is information in the HRA Calculator sheets for the new operator actions developed, but it has no information concerning when these actions were discussed or with whom. This information should be maintained as backup information or included in the applicable document. Also, if the talk-throughs have not been updated since the IPE or IPEEE days, the procedural changes may require updating for the FPRA.

Basis for Significance: A review of procedural impacts for the fire is required to determine correct impacts on the HEPs due to events such as fire. Talk-throughs will also help verify that any additional actions are not missed.

Possible Resolution: If talk-throughs were performed for this FPRA, the information should be maintained as backup information or included in the applicable document. If the talk-th roughs have not been performed or adequately documented since the IPEEE, then the talk-throughs should be performed and documented in a manner that will help fUture updates.

HRA events are reviewed for instrumentation in Attachment B of CNC-1535.00-00-0108, Rev. 0. The documentation for HRA events that do not have instrumentation in the internal events model is not clear. Instrumentation is described in general terms without any information on the number of trains or the number of instruments available. There is not enough documentation to justify the diverse and redundant argument.

Basis for Significance: Based on the available documentation, reviewers were unable to determine if the instrumentation supporting credited HRA events was diverse and redundant enough to credit associated events. Possible Resolution:

Provided additional details on the number, type, and trains of instrumentation being credited. (F&O ES-C1-01)

A finding from the FPIE evaluation stated that HEPs are not converted from medians to means. This issue was said to be addressed with a sensitivity case.

However, this issue should be addressed in the Fire PRA.

Basis for Significance: This finding will have a minor impact on post-accident HEP, but will cause a 2-3 times increase in pre-accident HEPs. Possible Resolution: Ensure that the HEPs are completely based on means rather than medians. (F&O HRA-C1-02)

The Fire PRA uses a set of multipliers as described in the model development report to account for fire impacts on human reliability. This process is intended to implicitly account for (in a conservative manner) factors influencing operator performance such as fire effects on instrumentation, operator stress, and possible impact on timing. This conservative approach is judged to be consistent with a CC-I approach as indicated in SR HRA-C 1 of the standard. With the HRA at CC-I, the Fire PRA results possess a conservative bias from this aspect of the analysis.

With overall risk metric results of the Fire PRA acceptable, the conservatism does not impede the use of the Fire PRA for the transition to NFPA 805. CC-I is considered acceptable for the NFPA 805 application. The only potential effects on the ILRT extension are conservative; therefore, this F&O does not adversely affect the ILRT extension.

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension SR HRA-01 Revision 3 Table A-5 Fire PRA - Category I Summary Topic Status CNS added several new accident sequences to address some fire-specific issues that were not part of the base PRA. The model was reviewed and generally found to follow the process from the internal events PRA. One issue was identified: One of the new sequences included a new operator action, TSSPZRLRHE, but the documentation did not provide a basis for the assumed timing. In the HRA quantification section, CNS indicated that this was an ex-control room action with more an hour was available to perform the action.

However, CNS did not provide the basis for saying that more than an hour was available.

Basis for Significance: This important information needs to be documented in relation to inclusion of a new operator action in the PRA. Possible Resolution:

CNS needs to explicitly define the basis for stating that more than an hour is available to perform an ex-control room fire-specific action. Also, CNS should review all ex-control room actions to confirm that they have reasonable bases for the assumed time available. (F&O PRM-86-01) transition to NFPA 805.

Discussion: Assumption 5 in Section 6.1 of CNC-1535.00-00-0154 does not reflect the as-built as-operated plant and impacts the cutsets in the model.

Basis for Significance: Assumption 5 in Section 6.1 of the CNC-1535.00-00-0154 states: "A high wind initiating event is assumed to have the operators tripping the reactor if there is also high wind failure of a SSC modeled in the fault tree." This assumption is not correct based on the directions provided in procedure RP/O/A/5000/007. Refer to WPR-A 1-01 for discussion on consideration of RP/O/A/5000/007 procedures. This does not reflect the as-built as-operated plant and impacts the cutsets in the model.

Possible Resolution: Proposed solution: Delete this assumption and associated model logic.

Actual Resolution: The assumption has been deleted. The model logic has been revised as discussed in the resolution to WPR A 1-01 to induce a reactor trip for each applicable High Wind initiating event per the procedure.

Discussion: No discussion was provided for screening out failure modes that could result in the loss of ultimate heat sink due to a high wind event other than those related to the class 1 structures housing the service water system.

Basis for Significance: No discussion was provided for screening out failure modes that could result in the loss of ultimate heat sink due to a high wind event other than those related to the class 1 structures housing the service water system. This initiator is important since it can affect multiple units. For example, no discussion was provided to evaluate the consequences of wind borne debris being deposited in the lake supplying safety related cooling water and choking off the intake. The basis for significance is that a potential major initiator that can affect both units is not evaluated.

Possible Resolution: Evaluate the potential for losing ultimate heat sink due to debris blocking the intake.

Actual Resolution: The potential for losing the ultimate heat sink due to debris blocking the intake has been evaluated and judged to be insignificant in the CNS HWPRA.

Discussion: There was no documented evidence in CNC-1535.00-00-0154, the CNS HWPRA report, to show that the high wind PRA systems-analysis work SATISFIES the corresponding requirements in Part 2 (of the PRA Standard). A defined basis to support non-applicability of any exceptions was not included. Peer Review Team did not have the time to perform a detailed review of the assessment of Part 2 i.e., P2A (calc DPC-1535.00-00-0013, PRA Quality Self-Assessment, received during the review). It is not within the scope that the Peer Review Team scope to perform the assessment of Part 2 SRs as part of this Peer Review. Without being provided with a compliance review of Part 2 SRs, the Peer Review also cannot judge that the technical elements as specified in the applicable Part 2 SRs are satisfied or not.

Also, given its significant importance the impact of the siding on the AC system should be documented in a system notebook to address compliance with SY-B9. We see no evidence that the AC notebook was modified or that a new notebook addressing structures was developed in compliance with SY-B9; e.g. siding integrity is essential for maintaining the integrity of the AC system during "low-speed" straight winds - these issues need to be documented in accordance with the SY requirements described in SY-C2.

Possible Resolution: Review the P2A assessment in detail, correct any errors and enhance the documentation. If a materially important mistake is discovered, its impact shall be analyzed and appropriate action taken.

Actual Resolution: Documentation of compliance to the part 2 SRs is provided in appendix Hof CNC-1535.00 0154. The CNS model is undergoing update to R.G. 1.200 Rev. 2 and all deficiencies noted in the assessment will be corrected. None of the deficiencies has an impact on the HWPRA results.

ILRT Extension: Since none of the deficiencies have an impact on the HWPRA results, there is not effect on the ILRT extension.

SR CC 1/11/111 DOCUMENT the sources of model uncertainty and related assumptions associated with the high wind plant response model development.

Discussion: Several assumptions in CNC-1535.00-00-0154, Section 6.1 need clarification:

Assumption 1 states that one tornado missile hit to a PRA SSC results in functional failure except for the main transformers in the Yard, which require two missile hits. No basis is provided for this assumption. Was fragility of the component considered or was any missile at any speed assumed to result in a functional failure? Why are two missiles needed for a functional failure of the main transformers and how were the two missiles modeled?

Assumption 4 states: F2 and greater peak gusty winds at CNS will automatically induce a LOOP. Explain basis why an F2 or greater peak gust wind automatically induces LOOP verses >F1 or >F3, for example.

Assumption 5 states: A high wind initiating event is assumed to have the operators tripping the reactor if there is also high wind failure of a SSC modeled in the fault tree. Procedure RP/O/N5000/007 requires operators take both units to hot shutdown for winds 73mph or higher - without a concurrent high wind failure. As such this assumption does not reflect the way the operators will respond.

54003-CALC-02 F&O#

Revision 3 Review Element Level Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension Table A High Wind PRA F&Os and Resolutions Issue Assumption 6 states: Conservatism is introduced when initiating event %T3, LOOP, and the High Wind-Induced LOOP events are OR'd under the same parent gate. Some High Wind-Induced LOOP events may be double counted due to inclusion in the %T3 model frequency. A characterization (e.g. sensitivity analysis) of the impact of this assumption on the model results is needed.

Assumption 7 states: Some components were modeled by high wind analysis. These components had no representation in the fault tree. Only one of the four MSSVs and one of the four MSIVs are modeled due to the Internal Event model assumption of a SGTR occurs on SG "B. Thus high wind fragilities on the other three MSSV/MSIVs are not in the fault tree. The example did not clarify if this is a conservative assumption - please explain why this assumption is conservative and if a sensitivity analysis is needed.

Assumption 8 states: System YD is the Drinking Water System is assumed failed for all high wind events. A basis is needed for this assumption including the impact on model results.

Assumption 11 states: This analysis is for Unit 1 with shared Unit 2 SSCs. Applicability of Unit 2 with shared Unit 1 SSCs is assumed for this analysis. Explain why was Unit 1 selected and why a Unit 2 model is not needed. Is the internal events CDF and LERF for Unit 1 significantly different from Unit 2?

Assumption 1 in CNC-1535.00-00-0154 Appendix A Section 8.1. CREDITING RECOVERY OF SEAL INJECTION AFTER FIRST HOUR states: Straight Line or Tornado Wind conditions will not prevent access to the SSF after one hour has elapsed from the Wind-Induced LOOP Initiating Event. What Is the basis for this assumption? It is previously stated that reaching the SSF requires travelling 100 feet outside. Debris and structural integrity issues may preclude using this path, this would not only lead to path and door blockage but personnel safety. Access may require obtaining debris removal equipment and performing structural reviews which may not be possible within one hour. In addition, the Calculation Section Addressed reference for SR WPR-C3 in Table 4-1 should be Section 6.0, not Section 7.3.3.

Basis for Significance: Basis for key assumptions must be clear to facilitate review, applications and future updates.

Possible Resolution: Improve the quality of the assumptions in the High Wind PRA report.

Actual Resolution: Each of the assumptions has been reviewed and several have been clarified and/or enhanced.

Assumptions 1, 5, 6, and 7 have been deleted as they were determined to be inapplicable. Assumptions 4, 8, 11 and Assumption 1 in Appendix G have been revised and enhanced to provide a clearer basis for each. The only model change that resulted from this review is the assumption that a failure of a PRA SSC is required to induce the wind initiating event in the model. This assumption has been removed as a reactor trip was modeled in accordance with RP/O/A/5000/007.

ILRT Extension: Since this Finding has been resolved, there is not effect on the ILRT extension.

ATTACHMENT 2 RAl-02a,b Question:

RAl-02a: Page 9. What is the basis for assuming no impact on the reliability of containment isolation valves to close when demanded by an isolation signal given the test interval is increased? If there is an impact, but the assumption is that it is negligible, provide justification, preferably quantitative.

RAl-02b: Page 16. Accident sequences involving large and small isolation failures, including "failure-to-seal" events for the latter, are cited as not being affected by the ILRT frequency change. Do any of these failures potentially result from components whose failure probability is test-interval dependent? If not, confirm. If so, justify the statement that there is no effect. Page

19. This assumption is repeated for Class 6 Sequences, citing dominance due to misalignment of containment isolation valves following test/maintenance.

Response

The reduction in ILRT frequency does not impact the reliability of containment isolation valves to close in response to a containment isolation signal. The assumption is taken directly from the risk impact assessment template provided in EPRI 1018243 (1009325) [Section 3.0 of Appendix H in Reference 24]. The ILRT does not test for or affect the failure rate of containment isolation valves. The definition of the classes is given in Section 4.3 of Reference 24. The containment isolation valves are addressed in the Type C containment leakage surveillance testing frequency program per 1 OCFR 50 Appendix J (Class 5). Failure to seal is addressed in the Type B containment leakage surveillance testing frequency program per 1 OCFR 50 Appendix J (Class 4).

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension RAl-02c Question:

Pages 28-29. A seismic core damage frequency (CDF) of 1.65E-5/y from the Catawba Individual Plant Examination of External Events (IPEEE) is cited. More recent updates per letter dated September 2, 2010, "Safety/Risk Assessment Results for Generic Issue 199," estimate a seismic CDF using the 2008 United States Geological Survey (USGS) Seismic Hazard Curves for Catawba of 3.7E-5/y (Table D-1, weakest link model). The Catawba analysis used a seismic CDF of 1.15E-5/y to estimate the Class 3b frequency. If the Generic Issue (Gl)-199 results were used instead, the results would be as shown below.

Class Multiplier Failure Rate Seismic CDF LERF/CDF Ratio Frequency 3b 1.00E+OO 2.29E-03 3.70E-05 3.17E-02 8.22E-08 3b-10 3.33E+OO 2.29E-03 3.70E-05 3.17E-02 2.74E-07 3b-15 5.00E+OO 2.29E-03 3.70E-05 3.17E-02 4.11 E-07 These exceed the frequencies calculated using the IPEEE by 5.67E-8/y, 1.89E-7/y and 2.83E-7/y for the three intervals, respectively. These result in the following changes to Tables 5-17 and 5-18.

Class 3 per 10 1 per 10 1 per 15 LERF Increase External 1.71 E-07 5.70E-07 8.54E-07 6.83E-07 Internal 1.17E-07 3.90E-07 5.85E-07 4.68E-07 Combined 2.88E-07 9.60E-07 1.44E-06 1.15E-06 Class 3 per 10 1 per 1 O 1 per 15 LERF Increase External 1.73E-07 5.75E-07 8.61 E-07 6.88E-07 Internal 1.17E-07 3.90E-07 5.85E-07 4.68E-07 Combined 2.90E-07 9.65E-07 1.45E-06 1.16E-06 The combined results now slightly exceed the allowed total change in LERF of 1 E-6/y for "small" changes. The total LERFs for the two units using the Gl-199 results are now as follows:

U1 = 1.67E-6/y + (3.7E-5/y x 0.0317) + 3.41 E-6/y +6.48E-7/y + 1.15E-6/y = 8.05E-6/y U2 = 1.67E-6/y + (3. 7E-5/y x 0.0317) + 3.48E-6/y +6.48E-7/y + 1.16E-6/y = 8.13E-6/y These remain below 1 E-5/y. Page 29 of Attachment 5 to the licensee's LAR states, in part, that:

Although the total change in LERF is somewhat close to the Regulatory Guide 1.17 4 limit [when calculated using the Seismic CDF from the IPEEE] when external event risk is included, several conservative assumptions were made in this ILRT analysis, as discussed in Sections 4.0, 5.1.3, 5.2.1, and 5.2.4; therefore the total change in LERF is considered conservative for this application.

Revision 3 Page 183of198

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension Given the delta-LERF now slightly exceeds the RG-1.174 threshold for "small" changes, address the role of the cited conservatisms in justifying the acceptability of the LERF increases.

Alternatively, provide a reassessment of the seismic risk based on the more recent USGS Seismic Hazard Curves in lieu of that used in the Gl-199 reference, such that the RG-1.174 threshold is not exceeded.

Response

Following the methodology from Reference 24 introduces several conservatisms in the b.LERF calculation, leading to a conservative value; a lower b.LERF value would be more realistic. Data used to estimate the initial probability of ILRT failure were conservatively classified; containment leakage events that would not significantly affect population dose and/or LERF calculations were included in the estimation of the ILRT failure probability. This conservatively increases the probability of a Class 3b containment leak failure in the analysis, which conservatively increases the b.LERF calculation.

The analysis assumes every containment leak event results in a LERF. Previous analyses have used 35La to represent the Class 3b containment leak and assumed this leakage resulted in a LERF. This was considered conservative. According to Reference.24, based on the exchange of a single containment volume within a 4 hour4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> period, leakage of 600La to 6000La would be a more realistic containment leakage rate that would result in a LERF. However, there are no events that have occurred in the database that would constitute a large early reiease pathway.

The highest known leakage event has a leakage of 21 La. This conservatively increases the b.LERF calculation.

Thus, low containment leakage rates (low La values) with higher probabilities of occurrence are used to represent a large early release. Both the probability of a Class 3b containment leak and the leak being assumed large enough to result in a LERF are conservative for the b.LERF calculation.

The analysis methodology assumes that all Class 1 sequences coincident with a Class 3b leak failure would result in a LERF. However, some Class 1 sequences have successful operation of containment sprays, which would scrub potential releases below the large threshold and preclude a large early release even if there were a 1 OOLa leak in containment; this refinement was not used in this ILRT extension analysis. This conservatively increases the b.LERF calculation.

The analysis methodology uses a factor of 5 for the change in leak detection probability. This is conservative because it does not factor in the possibility that the failures could be detected by other means. This conservatively increases the b.LERF calculation.

In addition to the cited conservatisms in the ILRT extension analysis methodology, the estimate of the total b.LERF from external events, and particularly the contribution due to the seismic hazard, is uncertain and subject to further examination to assess the impact of the uncertainty on the ILRT extension analyses and the conclusion that the b.LERF associated with the extended test interval can be considered "small" per the R.G. 1.174 criteria.

The seismic CDF value reported in Section 5.3.1 is the value given in the current SPRA model of record [Reference 50]. This number was generated using the 1989 EPRI plant hazard data for Catawba as well as SSC fragility values given in a 1986 report prepared for Catawba by National Technical Systems [Reference 51]. These same inputs were those used in the preparation of the Catawba 1995 IPEEE report, as reviewed and accepted by the NRC.

The most recent SSE-GMRS comparison data for Catawba [Reference 52] shows that predicted earthquakes with low spectral frequencies are less than the design basis. The new GMRS is not Revision 3 Page 184of198

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension estimated to exceed the design SSE until the 5 to 6 Hz range. The current industry consensus is that the higher spectral frequencies are considered less damaging to plant structures and equipment. Further, low frequency earthquakes have a higher probability of occurrence than high frequency earthquakes. Since the lower spectral frequencies would produce the more damaging earthquakes and the Catawba site is designed to withstand seismic events in this range, the Catawba seismic GDF value is appropriate as stated based upon the best available information.

In addition to the assessment of the CNS seismic PRA model, the methodology in the Generic Issue 199 (Gl-199) report was reviewed. Figure A-4 and Equation 27 of Gl-199 [Reference 58]

indicates the "weak link" model is based on analytical assumptions that could introduce a conservative bias in the plant fragility assessment. The probability of failure depends on "how close" the Uniform Hazard Spectrum (UHS) is to the spectral fragility curve. A review of Appendix C, Plant Fragility Data [Reference 59], indicates that a plant fragility model with an assumed f3c of 0.4 was derived from the IPEEE analysis SPRA results and used for the Gl-199 quantification. The Catawba SPRA model used for this analysis is based on a best-estimate plant logic model with calculated fragilities for key components and structures.

Given this uncertainty in the seismic GDF estimates, including that provided' in the Gl-199

[Reference 58] report which, when used with the conservatism in the overall ILRT extension analysis methodology, slightly exceeds the allowed total change in LERF of 1 E-6/y for "small" changes, it is reasonable to conclude that the b.LERF is "small" per the criteria in R.G. 1.17 4

[Reference 4].

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension RAl-03a Question:

Pages 42. A fact and observation (F&O) for IE-A8 remains Open, but is determined not to impact the ILRT extension because it is "unlikely" that plant personnel interviews would uncover any new initiating events. In performing the "extensive search" for initiating events referenced in the disposition, was simulator experience or other types of experience that might be obtained only through personnel interviews considered?

Response

The analysis performed in Reference 57 uses many different sources of information to develop an extensive list of potential internal initiating events for nuclear power plants. This study provides a reasonably complete identification of initiating events. One of the tasks for the maintenance rule expert panel is to review all systems/subsystems in the plant for the capability for the function failing to possibly cause a plant trip or safety system actuation. For all systems/subsystems identified to potentially cause a plant transient, plant personnel were interviewed and provided their expertise related to the function failing and the plant response.

Also, if applicable, if the function spuriously performed, plant personnel provided information on plant response. It is assumed that this provides a reasonable review for initiating events that may have been overlooked.

Although simulator experience was not directly used for this search, several other types of experience, including personnel interviews, was used. To arrive at a list of initiating events, an extensive literature search was performed including plant-specific events that have occurred at-power, review for events that occurred at shutdown that could also occur at-power, precursor events that could potentially be initiating events, system-by-system (including support systems) review with plant personnel, generic analyses, and PRA databases [Reference 57]. Those sources include previous PRAs, Catawba precursor events, industry precursor events, Catawba Maintenance Rule function lists, plant personnel review for potential initiators, Catawba common cause failure events, EPRI Technical report 1003113 for shutdown conditions, WOG PSA Model and Results Comparison Database, NUREG/CR-5750, and NUREG/CR-6928.

As documented in Attachment 4 of Reference 57, approximately 34 system engineers were interviewed for initiating event identification; thus, plant experience that might be obtained only through personnel interview was considered in the extensive search for initiating events.

Revision 3 Page 186of198

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension RAl-03b Question:

Page 47. Although not cited as an F&O at the time of the 2002 Peer Review, an action required for IE-C14 remains Open due to the need to incorporate updated industry guidance on removing credit for motor operated valves (MOVs) that could impact the LERF. With External Events included, the total LERF is - 7E-06/y for each unit (- 8E-06/y when the Gl199 seismic CDFs are incorporated, as per RAI 02.c). Provide a basis, preferably quantitative, to justify that the expected increase in CDF/LERF with credit for the MOVs removed is small enough that the risk metrics would remain in Region II.

Response

The ISLOCA isolation MOVs are not risk-significant. The increase in risk from removing credit from MO Vs NI 1788 and NI 173A in the internal events model is offset by updating the failure data for check valve rupture (CVR), which helps mitigate the assumed failure of the MOVs, to the data presented in the 201 O Parameter Estimation Update of NUREG/CR-6928 [Reference 54]. Since the change is similar for CDF and LERF, b.LERF does not change. Using the internal events model with the updated internal flood model [Reference 39], removing credit for MOVs

  • Nl178B and Nl173A, and updating the check valve failure rate, CDF and LERF are each estimated to decrease by 2.28E-8.

The sensitivity study of removing credit for the ISLOCA isolation MOVs and updating the failure data for the check valves does not change b.LERF and does not result in an increase in overall risk. Therefore, the ILRT extension analysis result is within the guidelines in Regulatory Guide 1.17 4 [Reference 4] for a small change in risk, as detailed in Section 5.3.1.

Revision 3 Page 187of198

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension RAl-03c Question:

Pages 52, 57-60. F&Os for AS-AS, SC-A1 and SC-A2 are Dispositioned, but it appears that confirmation that the results from using a 2000F criterion for core damage vs. 2500°F via the Modular Accident Analysis Program (MAAP) have not been evaluated, at least not via MAAP itself. Other justification for not revising the criterion for Catawba (i.e., similarity to McGuire) is cited, but it is not clear that this MAAP confirmation has been performed for the McGuire Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2, either. Explain if the MAAP confirmation has been done; if not, justify why basing Catawba success criteria on MAAP runs using 2500°F vs. 2000°F for core damage remain valid.

Response

The MAAP confirmation has been done [References 45, 56, and 65]. The core damage criteria using the TCRHOT parameter in the MAAP analyses were examined to determine if using 2000

°F would impact the success criteria results. In response to the initial finding from the peer review that 4040 °F core damage success criteria was out of line with the industry, the success criteria were reanalyzed and updated to show that 2000 °F core damage success criteria were also met [Reference 45]. Based on a review of the T/H runs performed in support of success criteria and HRA timing analysis for verification, there is no impact on the results if core damage is defined as 2000°F as the F&Os describe. There was no change in the success criteria

[References 45, 56, and 65].

Revision 3 Page 188of198

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension RAl-03d,e Question:

RAl-03d: Pages 54-55, 136-137. F&Os for AS-81 and QU-86 remain Open and cited the need to correct the probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) to correctly account for the dependency of the turbine-driven pump (TOP) on the steam generator tube rupture (SGTR) initiator, scheduled for incorporation into the Rev. 3 PRA. Confirm that this correction has been incorporated. If not, provide a sensitivity analysis of the effect on LERF and metrics for the ILRT extension that incorporates this correction.

RAl-03e: Pages 56 and 62-63. F&Os for AS-85 and SC-A4 are Dispositioned. One item of concern was failure to model the degraded condition of the supply to the TOP given an SGTR.

The disposition cites an update to reflect the correct success criteria due to SGTR loss of the auxiliary feedwater (AFW) pump. Confirm that this update corrected the deficiency related to the degraded supply to the TOP given an SGTR.

Response

The dependency of the TOAFW pump on the SGTR initiator was incorporated in the Rev., 3 PRA. Since this ILRT extension analysis uses Rev. 3b, this issue is resolved [Reference 17].

The F&O dispositions in Table A-1 have been updated to indicate this model update is complete.

Revision 3 Page 189of198

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension RAl-03f Question:

Pages 89-90. An F&O for SY-814 remains Open, although concerns related to high-energy line breaks are considered resolved. However, Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide (RG)-1.200, "An Approach for Determining the Technical Adequacy of Probabilistic Risk Assessment Results for Risk-Informed Activities," adds the following example to the supporting requirement (SR): "(h) harsh environments induced by containment venting, failure of the containment venting ducts, or failure of the containment boundary that may occur prior to the onset of core damage." Confirm that consideration of this additional example does not affect the conclusion that the I LRT extension is not impacted.

Response

The loss of containment boundary (i.e., a crack in the containment liner that could be detected by an ILRT), which may communicate a harsh environment from inside containment to the containment annulus, does not affect the conclusion that the ILRT extension is not impacted.

There is no equipment in the containment annulus that is not qualified for a harsh environment that is credited to mitigate an accident that would create a harsh environment in the CNS PRA model [References 67 and 68].

The ILRT extension analysis disposition for SY-814 has been updated to include the NRC clarification from Regulatory Guide 1.200 Rev 2 to include this discussion.

Revision 3 Page 190of198

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension RAl-03g Question:

Pages 101-102, 104-105. F&Os for HR-F2 and HR-G4 remain Open, citing the need to incorporate updated information related to operator actions into the PRA model. While citing no significant changes to the success criteria as the basis for negligible impact on the ILRT extension, it is not clear whether there are potentially other aspects of the PRA besides success criteria that might be affected by the needed incorporation of the operator actions. Explain further the conclusion of negligible impact despite the need to still incorporate these operator actions into the PRA model.

Response

The analysis of the new success criteria referenced in above F&Os, compared to the current PRA success criteria in regard to systems/components required and time windows for operator actions, concluded that the current success criteria are bounding or have not changed in their application as a result of the update. Therefore, the success criteria used in the PRA are acceptable and no changes are required. F&Os HR-04 and HR-05 are considered met technically, with minor documentation items open.

Revision 3 Page 191 of 198

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension RAl-03h,i Question:

RAl-03h: Pages 109-113. F&Os for DA-A1 and DA-A4 are Dispositioned regarding the use of outdated generic data based on "minor changes to random failure rate[s] of the components

[are] not significant in the risk evaluations." However, it is unclear whether more recent generic data sources were reviewed such that the assertion that any changes would be "minor" is justified. Pages 114-116. An F&O for DA-C1 remains Open but appears to address the concern in the previous two F&Os in that it cites use of NUREG/CR-6928, "Industry-Average Performance for Components and Initiating Events at U.S. Commercial Nuclear Power Plants,"

(through 2010) as the primary data source for generic parameter estimates.. If this explanation is applicable to the previous two Dispositioned F&Os, confirm. If not, explain what reviews were performed, even if the generic data were not updated, to confirm that any changes would be "minor."

RAl-03i: Pages 116-118. An F&O for DA-C2 remains Open, citing collection of plant-specific failure data from Maintenance Rule documents through 2005. This suggests that the current failure data used in the PRA are at least 10 years old. The basis for "negligible impact" on the ILRT extension is that "minor changes" to random failure rates are not significant. Provide a basis for concluding that the plant-specific data used in the PRA, current only through 2005, remain representative of the past 1 O years of operation at Catawba such that the conclusion that any changes to failure data remain "minor" is justified. Note: Related to this F&O are three for DA-C11, C12 and C13 on Pages 122-123. While remaining Open due to the need for documentation, please justify all references to the 2005 limit date for collection of plant-specific failure data such that the similar conclusion of "negligible impact."

Response

A recent data update incorporated generic failure data through 201 O and plant-specific failure data through 2013 [Reference 66]. The updated type codes were input into the cr3b model; the Internal Events CDF (Internal Flood excluded) decreased slightly from 1.35E-5 to approximately 1.30E-5 and the LERF decreased from 1.12E-6 to approximately 6.53E-7. Since the CDF and LERF decrease, the open F&O disposition and older plant specific data period do not impact the conclusion of the ILRT extension risk analysis. See Section 5.3.7 for further details.

Revision 3 Page 192of198

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension RAl-03j Question:

Page 128. Although not cited as an F&O at the time of the 2002 Peer Review, an action, cited as "documentation," required for DA-05 remains Open. However, it is unclear that this is only a documentation issue, as it discusses the use of a "modified" multiple Greek letter (MGL) method for common-cause failure (CCF) analysis. It is unclear how far from the standard MGL method this "modification" diverges or whether it is adequately representative. Non-mandatory Appendix 1-A of ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009, "Addenda to ASME/ANS RA-S-2008: Standard for Level 1/LERF PRA for Nuclear Power Plant Applications," ASME 2009, discusses PRA Maintenance and Upgrade and cites "new treatment of common cause failure" as a potential type of PRA Upgrade. Explain whether or not this "modified" MGL method constitutes a PRA Upgrade and why. If it constitutes an Upgrade, provide a sensitivity evaluation of its effect until a Focused-Scope Peer Review can be completed.

Response

During the development of system models, the PRA system analyst must create one or more basic events to model the impact of potential common cause failures for the common cause component groups (CCCGs) identified in each system. A "modified" MGL approach is used to identify and quantify common cause basic events (CCBEs) for the Catawba PRA model. In a "full" MGL application, a basic event is created for every combination of component failures.

However, in an attempt to simplify the fault tree logic and reduce the total number of cutsets, the various individual common cause failure combinations are grouped into a single basic event.

Each PRA system analyst also has the option to model each specific combination separately if this treatment is warranted [Reference 53].

The above description of the "modified" MGL approach is neither an update nor an upgrade to the PRA as defined in AS ME/ANS RA-Sa-2009. It is a. method to simplify the fault tree logic by grouping basic events.

Revision 3 Page 193of198

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension RAl-03k Question:

Pages 128-129. Although not cited as an F&O at the time of the 2002 Peer Review, an action cited for DA-D6 remains Open. Although it is assumed that any effect on CCF rates would be minor, thereby negligibly impacting the ILRT extension, this needs to be confirmed by comparing the component boundaries used in the CCF generic estimates with those assumed for the PRA. Confirm that the component boundaries assumed for the PRA assure that the generic CCF estimates are adequate.

Response

Inherent in the development of CCCGs and CCBEs and using generic data is the agreement of component boundaries assumed for the PRA and the generic CCF estimates [Reference 53].

The CNS model was reviewed and the modeling of CCF data in the fault tree was verified to be correct and the CCF basic events appropriately match the boundaries for the basic events that model the components for which CCF is modeled [Reference 60]; therefore, the CCF estimates are adequate. The disposition and impact statement for DA-D6 was updc;ited in Table A-1 to reflect this information.

Revision 3 Page 194of198

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension RAl-031 Question:

Pages 138-139. An F&O for QU-04 remains Open citing the need to compare the Catawba PRA results with those from similar plants. Provide assurance that, at least for those results which are relevant to the ILRT extension, the Catawba results are consistent with similar plants or, where not, the difference can be adequately explained.

Response

Catawba is a Westinghouse PWR with an Ice Condenser Containment. The internal events CDF and LERF are the relevant metric for the ILRT extension since the methodology in Reference 24 is based on total CDF and LERF. A table of similar plants with total internal events CDF and LERF is shown below. As shown in the table, CNS internal events CDF and LERF is within the same range as the CDF and LERF for similar plants.

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension RAl-03m Question:

Pages 149-157. Although considered Dispositioned, numerous F&Os for IFPP-A2 through IFEV-81 justify an insignificant impact on the ILRT extension due to "internal flooding represent[ing] such a small portion of the internal events risk." However, Tables 5-1 and 5-2 in the enclosure to the licensee's LAR indicate that internal flooding contributes (3.92E5)/(5.27E-5)= 0.74 to total internal GDF and (5.58E-7)/(1.67E-6) = 0.33 to total internal LERF, Le., it is the dominant contributor in each case. If, as cited, internal flooding resolutions do not significantly impact the ILRT extension, provide appropriate justifications for all these F&Os being Dispositioned.

Response

Internal flooding represents significant impact to internal events GDF and LERF. The internal flooding dispositions have been updated in Table A-3. All of the F&Os have been resolved; therefore, there.is no impact on this ILRT extension analysis.

Revision 3 Page 196of198

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension RAl-03n Question:

Pages 160-161. An F&O for FSS-A2 is Dis positioned, but it is unclear whether the clarification from Revision 2 of RG-1.200 was addressed. This clarification adds "including spurious operation" to the requirement to specify failure modes for equipment and cables in the target sets. Confirm that this additional failure mode was addressed.

Response

The CNS license amendment request (LAR) to transition to NFPA 805 documents the analysis associated with the plant transitioning to NFPA 805. A portion of the analysis addressed spurious operation of single (SO) and multiple components (MSO). Duke Energy responded to the following NRC RAls regarding clarification of how spurious operation(s) were dispositioned in the analysis:

PRA RAI 17.b (treatment of spurious action for cabinet fires)

PRA RAI 19 (modeling of multiple spurious operations)

Furthermore, the results of these RAI responses were incorporated into the FPRA quantification results and were documented in the response to PRA RAI 03 [Reference 18].

Revision 3 Page 197of198

54003-CALC-02 Evaluation of Risk Significance of Permanent ILRT Extension RAl-030 Question:

Pages 162-163. An F&O for HRA-02 (referencing HR-H2) is Dispositioned based on the operator action in question not being a "recovery action" in the context of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 805. The NFPA-805 definition of a "recovery action" is not relevant when dispositioning "recovery actions" in the context of PRA/human reliability analysis (HRA). If this action constitutes a "recovery" in the context of PRA/HRA, typically post-processed after cut-set generation, then the requirements of HR-H2 apply. Given this action has been credited, indicate (1) if it is proceduralized and trained on, as required for crediting under HR-H2; (2) if not, provide the basis for crediting it; or (3) why, despite its meeting neither (1) nor (2), it does not pose more than a negligible impact on the ILRT extension.

Response

The basis for application of action TSSPZRLRHE in the FPRA model is provided in CNS FPRA Model Development Report [Reference 55].

Action TSSPZRLRHE is required several hours into SSF operation if the SSF letdown has been lost. The need for action would be expected to be directed by the TSC as a response to increasing pressurizer level. The time available for the TSC to become staffed and evaluate the loss of letdown is sufficiently long to expect that action will be taken. The modeled response is a controlled reduction in RCS temperature, using the SG PO RVs, to allow shrinkage to offset the volume addition from the SSF SMP. The SG PORVs can be opened manually if normal operation is not possible. Manual operation of the SG PO RVs to reduce RCS temperature is proceduralized for other plant responses but not specifically as a means to control pressurizer level.

HRA-02 references HR-H2. HR-H2 states to "credit operator recovery actions only if a procedure is available and operator training has included the action as part of crew's training, or justification for the omission for one or both is provided." The only other non-proceduralized actions in the FPRA results are actions SMAN001 RHE and SMAN002RHE, which are the failure to swap to sump recirculation in the event of a common cause failure of the FWST level transmitters during FWST drawdown (SMAN001 RHE for a small LOCA; SMAN002RHE for a medium or large LOCA). Even with these two HEPs set to 1.0 there is no change to the FPRA risk results. Even though this action is not proceduralized, it has been demonstrated in simulator exercises that the crews will use alternate indications to successfully perform the swap.
