Background===

2011 2012 2013 2014 to Present Continued work on closure of open RAIs and planning of insulation modifications PNP selected the risk-informed approach to GSI-191 closure -

SECY 12-0093 Option 2 PNP has been following the risk informed pilot plant and applying lessons learned 8

Strategy Summary Risk-Informed Resolution

  • Strainer will not pass with deterministic DBA loading day spray WCAP-16530-NP chemical quantity
  • Using current aluminum inventory arguments

- Max debris load break

  • Worst-case design basis break

- Max unqualified coatings

  • Strategy for Success:

- Add plant-specific fidelity for chemical load AND

- Ensure strainer performance for debris generation from the highest frequency breaks 9

Risk-Informed Paths Full Risk Informed RoverD Preparation Plant CAD model Sump performance analysis Coating inventory Water volume Chemical load Past strainer tests Initial risk quantification One key strainer test Sliding fiber load WCAP for fuel blockage WCAP for boric acid PRA for LERF Current NRC review 10

Conventional Debris Deterministic Test Range

  • ECCS performance test for breaks <10-in diam keeps RoverD risk in Region III.
  • Combined cal-sil and fiber limits keeps test loads consistent with plant ZOI
  • Qualified coatings damage also bounded by RoverD ZOI size Notional Test Load 17

Key RoverD Process Steps

  • CASA Grande
  • Thermal hydraulics
  • Testing
  • Licensing actions 18

Thermal Hydraulics

  • MAAP fidelity improvements
  • Containment response library

- Insights and margin assessment

- In-fuel fiber blockage limits

- Boric acid solubility

  • FSAR Temperature Profile for Chemical Product Inventory 19

Key RoverD Process Steps

  • CASA Grande
  • Thermal hydraulics
  • Testing
  • Licensing actions 20

Role of CAFTA/SAPHIRE PRA

  • Quantifies baseline risk for perfect plant with no debris effects
  • Quantify probability of plant damage states (pumps out of service, etc.)
  • Quantify credit for operator action
  • Trace additional contributors to LERF 21

Key RoverD Process Steps

  • CASA Grande
  • Thermal hydraulics
  • Testing
  • Licensing actions 22

Purpose of Testing

  • Demonstrate successful strainer performance for deterministic debris loads that are consistent with guidance
  • Some flexibility under RoverD to select conventional debris loads, but challenges remain with aluminum corrosion products 23

Deterministic Precipitate Load Industry Practice

  • 30-day FSAR temperature history
  • 30-day spray operation
  • Conservative pH condition
  • Conservative material exposure
  • No credit for solubility
  • No credit for inhibition
  • WCAP-16530 30-day precipitate quantity Palisades Application
  • 30-day FSAR temperature history
  • 30-day spray operation
  • Conservative pH condition
  • Conservative material exposure
  • No credit for solubility
  • No credit for inhibition
  • Plant-specific 30-day precipitate quantity 24

Palisades Test Program Overview Plant-Specific Aluminum Release (OSU) 25 GSI-191 Risk Quantification Strainer Performance Characterization (ARL)

OSU Program Program Objective

  • Develop Palisades specific 30-day Al release inventory

- Empirical equation or point condition Important Program Details

  • Al release = Al precipitate generation

- No credit for solubility

  • Conducted under OSU QA program approved by Palisades.
  • Program commercially dedicated by Alion and accepted by Palisades
  • Al release is a function of Al corrosion 26
