Non-Proprietary Evaluations and Design Enhancements to Incorporate Lessons Learned from Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Accident APR1400-E-P-NR-14005-NP, Rev. 2 ABSTRACT The APR1400 mitigating strategies and design enhancements to meet Near-Term Task Force recommendations and U.S. NRC regulatory orders, relative to the Beyond Design Basis External Event at Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant, are described in this technical report. In developing the mitigating strategies and design enhancements, the APR1400 design has considered the interim staff guidance and industry guidance. Accordingly, the APR1400 DCD reflects the lessons learned from the Fukushima BDBEE and its impact assessment, including identification of COL items. Any potential changes from proposed rulemaking to occur after the APR1400 DCD submittal have been excluded from this technical report.

Specifically, this technical report addresses the Near-Term Task Force Tier 1, 2, and 3 recommendations, and the multiple design changes considered for the APR1400 are supported by extensive analysis and calculations to address the Fukushima BDBEE. These enhancements have been incorporated into the APR1400 design; however, the operational and programmatic aspects of the BDBEE will be addressed by COL applicants prior to fuel load. Incorporation of the design enhancements, as described in this technical report, increases the APR1400 plant reliability and safety against BDBEE.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The March 11, 2011 earthquake and subsequent tsunami off the Pacific coast of Japan (Great Tohoku Earthquake) exceeded the seismic and tsunami design bases of the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant. The event resulted in major damage at the site. Subsequent evaluation by regulatory and industry experts resulted in insights that nuclear plants should have additional capability to withstand beyond-design-basis external events (BDBEEs). This capability would enhance protection against accidents resulting from natural phenomena, mitigate the consequences of such accidents, and enhance emergency preparedness. It reflects a diverse and flexible coping strategy to increase the defense-in-depth safety principle that has long been a foundation of the commercial nuclear power industry.

Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co., Ltd. (KHNP) has evaluated post-Fukushima insights in terms of its Advanced Power Reactor 1400 (APR1400) design. Sections 2.0 and 3.0 of this report summarize the purpose and scope, respectively. Section 4.0 summarizes applicable regulatory requirements and the potential effect on the APR1400 licensing documentation. Section 5.0 provides technical description of how the APR1400 addresses post-Fukushima insights. Section 6.0 identifies design features and their impact on the Design Control Document (DCD) and the combined license (COL) applicant. Section 7.0 provides the reports overall conclusions.

The COL applicant will confirm that the site-specific design criteria for seismic and flood are met. It is expected that the APR1400 will satisfy the seismic requirements since it is designed to meet Central and Eastern United States (CEUS) seismic requirements. Also, for dry sites, the APR1400 will not have a problem in regard to flooding.

However, for wet sites, flood protection may be necessary depending on the location of FLEX equipment.

Therefore, the COL applicant will also address the flood requirements for wet sites.

5.1.2 Recommendations 4.1 and 4.2 - SBO and FLEX 5.1.2.1 Introduction This subsection summarizes the APR1400 diverse and flexible coping (FLEX) strategies for the beyond-design-basis external event (BDBEE), extended loss of all ac power (ELAP) concurrent with loss of normal access to ultimate heat sink (LUHS). The purpose of establishing the FLEX strategies is to maintain core cooling, spent fuel pool (SFP) cooling, and to ensure containment functions and structural integrity through containment cooling.

The core cooling safety function includes maintaining core cooling, reactor coolant system (RCS) inventory, RCS boration, and key reactor instrumentation. The containment cooling safety function includes maintaining containment pressure control, and key containment instrumentation. The SFP cooling safety function includes maintaining SFP cooling and key SFP instrumentation.

NTTF Recommendation 4 (Reference 1) recommends that all operating and new reactor designs enhance SBO mitigation capability for BDBEEs. Recommendation 4.1 outlines minimum coping times for SBO events. Recommendation 4.2 recommends that licensees provide reasonable protection from BDBEEs and add any additional equipment necessary to address multiunit events. This report addresses both Recommendation 4.1 and 4.2 through the baseline coping strategies.

5.1.2.2 Baseline Coping Capability The guidance for developing, implementing, and maintaining mitigation strategies from JLD-ISG-2012-01 (Reference 7) and the methodology to establish baseline coping capability from NEI 12-06 (Reference 8) were considered in developing the APR1400 FLEX strategies and evaluating the resultant baseline coping capability after the BDBEE.

The APR1400 FLEX strategies follow a three-phase approach as required in the Order EA-12-049 (Reference 5). The three phases are:

  • Phase 1 - Initial response phase using installed equipment
  • Phase 2 - Transition phase using FLEX equipment and consumables
  • Phase 3 - Indefinite sustainment of these functions using offsite resources.

The APR1400 baseline coping capability to maintain core cooling, SFP cooling, and containment cooling after the BDBEE are addressed in the following sections, along with the FLEX strategies and supporting analyses.

Non-Proprietary Evaluations and Design Enhancements to Incorporate Lessons Learned from Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Accident APR1400-E-P-NR-14005-NP, Rev. 2 5.1.2.3 Operational Strategy for Core Cooling The APR1400 core cooling capability to cope with the BDBEE, ELAP concurrent with LUHS, is addressed for all of the following operation modes.

a. Full-power operation
b. Low-power operations and shutdown conditions with steam generators (SGs) available
c. Shutdown conditions with SGs not available 5.1.2.3.1 FLEX Strategy for Full-Power Operation The initiating event is assumed to be a loss of offsite power (LOOP) with concurrent loss of all ac power and LUHS during full-power operation. Based on the analysis performed, the APR1400 design includes consideration of the following event sequence to address FLEX strategy for full-power operation:

Phase 1: 0 to 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> Phase 2: 8 to 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> Phase 3: Indefinite time period following Phase 2 The timeline of the APR1400 FLEX strategy for full-power operation is shown in Figure 5-1 and the detailed sequence of events is tabulated in Table 5-1. The following are the operational strategies for each phase.

5.1.2.3.1.1 Phase 1: Coping with Installed Plant Equipment (0 to 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />) 5.1.2.3.1.1.1 Phase 1-a: 0 to 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> The main control room (MCR) operators may require up to 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> to assess plant conditions, equipment and system availability, and to identify the event as an ELAP concurrent with LUHS.

During Phase 1-a, only the installed plant equipment is used for coping. Specifically, two turbine-driven auxiliary feedwater pumps (TDAFWPs) automatically start on an auxiliary feedwater actuation system (AFAS) signal to provide core cooling through the SGs. Auxiliary feedwater storage tanks (AFWSTs) are used to supply water to the TDAFWPs, and steam generated in the SGs is released through the main steam safety valves (MSSVs). Class 1E batteries supply dc power to essential instrumentation and control (I&C) equipment, and for the operation of the TDAFWPs. The RCS is maintained at hot standby condition by the natural circulation cooling (NCC) operation without any operator action during this phase.

The reactor coolant pump (RCP) seal integrity may be challenged, because both the seal injection water supply and component cooling water supply to the RCP thermal barrier heat exchanger are lost due to the event of ELAP concurrent with LUHS. The RCP seal leakage is assumed to be 94.64 L/min (25 gpm) per RCP, based on the evaluation report on the APR1400 KSB RCP seals (Reference 9).

5.1.2.3.1.1.2 Phase 1-b (1 to 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />)

Throughout Phase 1, the RCS can be maintained at hot standby condition by the NCC operation without any operator action. The TDAFWPs are powered from the Class 1E batteries in Trains C/D for 16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br /> without load shedding, and up to 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> with load shedding started at 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />. The AFWSTs supply KEPCO & KHNP 24

Non-Proprietary Evaluations and Design Enhancements to Incorporate Lessons Learned from Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Accident APR1400-E-P-NR-14005-NP, Rev. 2 water to the TDAFWPs for core cooling and steam generated in the SGs is released through the MSSVs.

3 The total volume of water required from the AFWSTs during this phase is approximately 529.96 m (140,000 gal), which is much lower than the capacity of AFWSTs (See Table 5-2). The passive components, MSSVs, are operable without electrical power. Based on the analysis, the water level in the core is found to be well above the top of the active core during this phase, even though the RCP seal leakage is assumed to occur from the beginning of the event. During this phase, additional cooling in MCR, electrical and I&C equipment rooms, and the TDAFWP rooms is found not to be required based on heatup calculations. The maximum temperature of each room is guaranteed not to exceed the allowable values in table below to assure operability of equipment. As a result, Phase 1 coping time for this event can be extended to 16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br />.

In the meantime, the operator prepares for the next phase as soon as diagnosis of the event is complete:

Because the Phase 1 coping time can be extended to 16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br />, the operator has sufficient additional time margin to prepare for Phase 2, even though the period of Phase 1 is assumed to be 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> in the core cooling strategy.

5.1.2.3.1.2 Phase 2: Coping with Installed Plant Equipment and Onsite Portable Resources (8 to 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />)

As soon as preparation for Phase 2 is finished, the operator starts to cool down the RCS to a safe shutdown state, i.e., hot shutdown or cold shutdown (see Figure 5-1), using the installed plant equipment and/or the onsite FLEX equipment.

During Phase 2, two types of core cooling strategies can be applied:

a. Basic operational strategy using installed plant equipment such as TDAFWP and the auxiliary charging pump (ACP), and FLEX equipment such as 480 V mobile GTG
b. Contingency plan using only the onsite FLEX equipment, which is applied if the installed plant equipment is not operable Each of these strategies is described below.

5.1.2.3.1.2.1 Basic Operational Strategy In the basic operational strategy, the RCS is cooled down to and maintained at the hot shutdown (176.67 °C [350 °F]) using both of installed plant equipment such as TDAFWP and ACP, and the FLEX equipment such as 480 V mobile GTG.

The RCS is cooled down to the hot shutdown condition by feed-and-bleed operation through the KEPCO & KHNP 25

Non-Proprietary Evaluations and Design Enhancements to Incorporate Lessons Learned from Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Accident APR1400-E-P-NR-14005-NP, Rev. 2 secondary side of SG using the TDAFWPs and main steam atmospheric dump valves (MSADVs). The AFWSTs with backup water source from the raw water tank (RWT) continue to supply water to the SGs using the TDAFWP, while each SG level is maintained between 25 to 40 percent wide range by on-off control of the auxiliary feedwater isolation valves.

Two 480 V, 1,000 kW, mobile GTGs are provided to meet N+1 requirement. One of the 480 V mobile GTGs is connected to the 480 V Class 1E power system Train A or B, and supplies power to the 125 Vdc battery charger, the 480 V load center, and the motor control center (MCC). With this Class 1E power, ACP, MSADVs, and essential I&C equipment are available during this phase. During this phase, additional cooling in MCR, electrical and I&C equipment rooms, and ACP room is not required based on heatup calculations. The maximum temperature of each room is guaranteed not to exceed the allowable values in table below to assure operability of equipment. The COL applicant is to assure the survivability of the equipment Maximum Allowable Room Temperature MCR 110°F ACP Room 150°F Electrical and I&C equipment rooms 120°F Battery Rooms 110°F ACP is used to provide makeup water for maintaining RCS inventory and provide RCP seal cooling. The suction source for ACP is the boric acid storage tank (BAST) and in-containment refueling water storage tank (IRWST). The water volume required for RCS inventory makeup during Phase 2 is approximately 3

643.52 m (170,000 gal).

5.1.2.3.1.2.2 Contingency Plan In the contingency plan strategy, installed plant equipment is assumed to be inoperable even after connection of 480 V mobile GTG. In this case, the RCS is further cooled down to around 110 °C (230 °F) with SGs fed by the two secondary side FLEX pumps instead of the plant installed TDAFWPs. RCS makeup is carried out by a primary side high-head FLEX pump instead of an ACP.

If the installed plant equipment, ACP, is inoperable, RCS inventory makeup can be provided by a primary side high-head FLEX pump 189.27 L/min (50 gpm) positive displacement pump with operating pressure 2

of 105.46 kg/cm A (1,500 psia).

Two secondary FLEX pumps are also connected to the SG auxiliary feedwater (AFW) supply lines: one for each AFW line. The secondary FLEX pumps can be used to supply feedwater to SGs, when 2

TDAFWPs are unavailable. If the SG pressure is under 6.33 kg/cm A (90 psia) during this phase, the TDAFWPs are inoperable. In this case, RCS is further cooled down to around 110 °C (230 °F) by 2

depressurizing the SG to 1.03 kg/cm A (14.7 psia) using the MSADVs. During this time, the SG inventory 2

is provided by the secondary side FLEX pumps (total dynamic head [TDH] of 17.01 kg/cm A [242 psia] at the rated flow rate of 1,173.48 L/min [310 gpm]) with suction from AFWST and RWT. The N+1 requirement for FLEX equipment is met by deploying two primary high-head FLEX pumps and three secondary FLEX pumps on site.

Additionally, as RCS cooldown continues and RCS pressure decreases to the designed setpoint of safety injection tank (SIT) injection, the SITs automatically discharge 4,000 ppm borated water into the RCS for boration and inventory makeup.

Non-Proprietary Evaluations and Design Enhancements to Incorporate Lessons Learned from Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Accident APR1400-E-P-NR-14005-NP, Rev. 2 5.1.2.3.1.2.3 Common Strategy to Both the Basic Strategy and Contingency Plan As the TDAFWPs or the secondary FLEX pumps continue to feed the SG, the AFWST inventory is depleted. Then, the suction of the TDAFWPs is realigned to the RWTs. The fuel for the mobile GTG is supplied by gravity flow from the emergency diesel generator (EDG) fuel oil day tank(s). Once the mobile GTG is running, the existing diesel fuel oil transfer pump is used to make up day tanks from the underground EDG fuel oil storage tanks, each having a capacity of 7 days of EDG operation at its continuous rating. Connections are also provided to supply fuel from the EDG fuel oil day tank to the primary and secondary side FLEX pumps for operation during Phase 2.

Table 5-2 shows the water volumes available from the AFWST and RWT during Phase 2. Although the water source from the RWT should be shared with SFP cooling, the AFWST and RWT are evaluated to be sufficient for continuous NCC operation for up to 11 days (see Table B-3 in Appendix B).

After the plant is brought to the safe shutdown state, i.e., hot shutdown or cold shutdown, the 4.16 kV mobile generator and other resources, such as cooling water and fuel, will also be prepared by the end of Phase 2. All of the operator actions to prepare Phase 3 will be finished by 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> following the event.

Hence, the operator has sufficient time margin to prepare for Phase 3.

The specific storage location, mobilization, and other details for the FLEX pumps and mobile generators are COL items.

In Phase 3, offsite resources including a 4.16 kV mobile generator, fuel, and cooling water can be assumed to be available for long-term coping with the BDBEE. The 4.16 kV mobile generator is used to restore Train A or B of 4.16 kV Class 1E power system. The plant is brought to cold shutdown, using the shutdown cooling system (SCS) if the ultimate heat sink (UHS) is available after 4.16 kV Class 1E power is restored. If not, the plant is maintained at the same safe shutdown state as in Phase 2.

In this case, the primary and secondary makeup water sources and fuel oil for the mobile generator are refilled from offsite resources. The details for the offsite resources will be provided by the COL applicant.

5.1.2.3.2 FLEX Strategy for Low-Power and Shutdown Operation with SGs Available 5.1.2.3.2.1 Strategy for Mode 1 through Mode 3 The NCC analysis result for the full-power FLEX strategy is still valid for operation in modes 1 through 3, i.e., lower-power operation, startup, and hot standby conditions, because it covers various states of the plant, including full-power operation through hot shutdown condition. Therefore, the same FLEX strategy as in the full-power operation can be also applied to the Mode 1 through Mode 3 operations.

5.1.2.3.2.2 Strategy for Mode 4 and Mode 5 with SGs Available In these operation modes, the SCS normally maintains the RCS between 176.67 °C (350 °F) (hot shutdown) and 54.44 °C (130 °F ) (cold shutdown), while the SGs are still available.

If the RCS temperature is initially below the maximum RCS temperature requiring low-temperature overpressurization protection (LTOP), i.e., 136.11 °C (277 °F), the RCS pressure can be maintained 2

below the LTOP protection limiting pressure of 43.94 kg/cm A (625 psia) (20 percent of the RCS hydraulic 2

test pressure of 219.71 kg/cm A [3,125 psia]), because the LTOP relief valve installed in the SCS 2

automatically opens at the opening setpoint (38.51 kg/cm A [530 psig]). After the RCS temperature increases to the LTOP disable temperature (136.11 °C [277 °F]), the operator tries to isolate the RCS from the SCS by manually closing the SCS isolation valves. The operator action for the isolation of the SCS is finished before the RCS temperature exceeds the SCS entry temperature 176.67 °C (350 °F).

After that, the RCS overpressurization can be protected by pilot-operated safety relief valves (POSRVs).

After closing of the SCS isolation valves, the RCS temperature and pressure continue to increase, and eventually return to the hot standby condition. Then, the SG side feed-and-bleed operation can start cooling down the RCS, as described in the baseline cooling capability for ELAP and LUHS at full-power operation. Consequently, the full-power FLEX strategy can be also applied after the plant returns to hot standby condition.

5.1.2.3.3 FLEX Strategy for Shutdown Operation with SGs Not Available The APR1400 shutdown operations with SGs not available include the mode 5 reduced inventory operation and the mode 6 refueling operation. If the ELAP concurrent with LUHS occurs during the reduced inventory operation or refueling, decay heat can be removed from the core by the RCS feed-and-bleed operation.

The APR1400 FLEX strategy follows a three-phase approach as required in Order EA-12-049 (Reference 5).

The following sections are general descriptions of FLEX strategy for shutdown operation with SGs not available. Detailed procedures will be developed by the COL applicant. The APR1400 added a COL item in DCD Chapter 19.3 specifying that the COL applicant will develop shutdown risk processes and procedures, and verify the ability to deploy FLEX equipment to provide core cooling in shutdown operations with SGs not available.

5.1.2.3.3.1 Phase 1: Coping with Installed Plant Equipment During Phase 1, decay heat is removed by the latent heat resulting from water boiloff in the core. The APR1400 will take actions to proceduralize administrative controls to pre-stage FLEX equipment prior to entering a condition where the SGs cannot provide adequate cooling.

5.1.2.3.3.2 Phase 2: Coping with Installed Plant Equipment and Onsite Portable Resources In Phase 2, the plant can be maintained at cold shutdown by the RCS feed-and-bleed operation using the FLEX pump which is connected to the SIS injection line. The RCS inventory makeup is carried out by external injection using the primary side low-head FLEX pump with rated flow of 2,839.06 L/min (750 gpm),

which is sufficient capacity for removing decay heat and flushing the RCS. Prior to core uncovery, the primary side low-head FLEX pump must be aligned to take suction from the acceptable coolant source and deliver the coolant to the vessel. A mobile GTG is prepared to connect to Train A or Train B 480 V Class 1E ac power system to supply power to Class 1E battery.

Two primary low-head FLEX pumps are provided to meet the N+1 requirement.

The specific storage location, mobilization, and other details for the FLEX pumps and mobile GTGs are COL items.

The 4.16 kV mobile generator is used to restore Train A or Train B of 4.16 kV Class 1E power system. If the SCS is operable when the 4.16 kV Class 1E power is restored, the plant is cooled down to and maintained at cold shutdown by resuming the SCS operation. If not, the operator keeps the plant at the same safe shutdown state as in Phase 2, using the primary FLEX pump for RCS inventory makeup. The primary makeup water source and fuel oil for the mobile generator are refilled using offsite resources. Details for the offsite resources will be provided by the COL applicant.

5.1.2.3.4 Supporting Analysis for Core Cooling Supporting analyses have been performed using RELAP5/Mod 3.3 to confirm the APR1400 core cooling capability to cope with the BDBEE, ELAP concurrent with LUHS, according to the FLEX strategies.

5.1.2.3.4.1 Acceptance Criteria The following acceptance criteria based on the NEI 12-06, Section 3.2.1 (Reference 8) are applied to the supporting analysis for the operational strategy for core cooling during the BDBEE:

  • Core cooling is maintained.
  • No fuel failures occur.

The fulfillment of above criteria is determined by evaluating RCS key parameters, such as RCS and SG pressures, RCS temperature, and collapsed levels in the reactor vessel, core, and SG.

5.1.2.3.4.2 Analysis Conditions The following analysis conditions and assumptions are selected according to the requirements of NEI 12-06, Section 3.2.1.

  • The plant is assumed to operate at 100 percent rated power with no uncertainty for system parameters.
  • The initiating event is assumed to be ELAP concurrent with LUHS.
  • The reactor is assumed to be tripped automatically by the low RCP speed trip function of the RPS since the RCPs could not be provided with ac power.
  • The MSSVs are assumed to actuate automatically when the SG pressure exceeds the MSSV setpoints.
  • RCP seal leakage is assumed to be 94.64 L/min (25 gpm) per RCP. This causes loss of RCS inventory, which should be adequately compensated for preventing core uncovery.
  • The TDAFWPs are assumed to start automatically on receipt of an AFAS signal.
  • The decay heat conditions of ANSI/ANS-5.1-1979 are used for best-estimate simulation of the KEPCO & KHNP 29

Non-Proprietary Evaluations and Design Enhancements to Incorporate Lessons Learned from Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Accident APR1400-E-P-NR-14005-NP, Rev. 2 FLEX strategy.

  • The operator is assumed to cool down the RCS by controlling MSADVs with a rate of 27.78 °C/hr (50 °F/hr) from 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> following the BDBEE.
  • The auxiliary charging pump (ACP) is assumed to supply borated water at the constant value of 166.56 L/min (44 gpm) for RCS makeup after 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> following the event. If the ACP is unavailable for supplying water to RCS, a primary high-head FLEX pump is used for providing adequate water for maintaining RCS inventory.
  • Four SITs inject 4,000 ppm borated water into RCS when RCS pressure decreases below the setpoints as designed.
  • Normal feedwater flow to the SGs is assumed to stop at the initiation of the BDBEE. Auxiliary feedwater flow supplies water to the SGs and is controlled to maintain SG level within the control band of 25 to 40 percent.

5.1.2.3.4.3 Analysis Results and Conclusion The APR1400 core cooling capability under the BDBEE, ELAP concurrent with LUHS, is analyzed using the RELAP5/Mod 3.3 code, according to the full-power operational strategy, consisting of the following three phases as described in Subsection 5.1.2.3.1.

  • Phase 1: 0 to 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />
  • Phase 2: 8 to 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />
  • Phase 3: Indefinite time period following Phase 2 For the full-power operation case, two types of core cooling strategies, which are basic operational strategy and contingency plan, are analyzed. In the basic strategy, the RCS is cooled down to hot shutdown using both installed plant equipment (such as MSADV, TDAFWP, and ACP), and FLEX equipment (such as the mobile GTG). The contingency plan is prepared in case the installed plant equipment is inoperable even after connection of mobile ac power. In this case, the RCS is cooled down to cold shutdown using the secondary side FLEX pump. RCS makeup is carried out by the primary side high-head FLEX pump.

Based on the two types of cooling strategies employed, it is concluded that the plant can be maintained at hot standby condition during Phase 1 (0 to 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> following the BDBEE), and cooled down to hot shutdown or cold shutdown state during Phase 2 (8 to 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />), using onsite resources. The same safe shutdown state is also be maintained during Phase 3 (after 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />), by continuing NCC operation with the cooling water source (for FLEX pumps) and fuel oil (for 4.16 kV mobile generator) supplied from offsite resources.

If SCS is successfully restored after the 4.16 kV mobile generator is connected, the plant can be brought to and maintained at cold shutdown using the SCS instead of SG cooling.

Appendix A provides further details of these analyses for the operational strategies - basic operational strategy and contingency plan - in the aspect of core cooling capability during this event.

Appendix A also shows the APR1400 coping capability against ELAP concurrent with LUHS during low-power operations and shutdown conditions. Based on the evaluation results for the operation modes 1 KEPCO & KHNP 30

Non-Proprietary Evaluations and Design Enhancements to Incorporate Lessons Learned from Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Accident APR1400-E-P-NR-14005-NP, Rev. 2 through 4 with SGs available, the aforementioned full-power operation strategy is still valid for this condition.

In the operation modes 4 and 5 with SGs available, the SCS normally maintains the RCS between 176.67 °C (350 °F) (hot shutdown) and 54.44 °C (130 °F ) (cold shutdown), while the SGs are still available. If the ELAP concurrent with LUHS occurs during these operation modes, the RCS is heated up and pressurized for a period due to the loss of the SCS. If the RCS temperature is initially below the maximum RCS temperature requiring the LTOP, i.e., 136.11 °C (277 °F), the RCS pressure can be 2

maintained below the LTOP limiting pressure of 43.94 kg/cm A (625 psia), because the LTOP relief valve 2

installed in the SCS automatically opens at the opening setpoint (38.51 kg/cm A [530 psig]). Once the RCS temperature reaches the LTOP disable temperature (136.11 °C [277 °F]), the operator isolates the RCS from the SCS by manually closing the SCS isolation valves. The operator action for isolation of the SCS is finished before the RCS temperature exceeds the SCS entry temperature (176.67 °C [350 °F]).

After that, the RCS overpressurization can be protected by POSRVs. After closing the SCS isolation valves, the RCS temperature and pressure continue to increase, and eventually return to the hot standby condition. The full-power FLEX strategy can be also applied after the plant returns to hot standby.

The specific storage location, mobilization, and other details for the FLEX pumps and mobile generators are COL items.

5.1.2.4 SFP Cooling This subsection outlines the operational strategy to maintain the SFP water level at a safe condition throughout the BDBEE. The APR1400 SFP conditions are analyzed for a number of postulated scenarios for the ELAP event. The scenario with ELAP following a seismic event is found to be the most limiting case due to the higher SFP inventory loss.

5.1.2.4.1 Strategy for SFP Cooling Based on the supporting analyses (see Subsection 5.1.2.4.2) to determine the bulk SFP heatup time and boiloff rate, for a worst-case full core offload, these analyses concluded the following:

  • The operators have approximately 26.6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> to restore cooling and/or makeup to the SFP in order to keep the spent fuel covered. Therefore, boiling of the SFP can be credited as the Phase 1 event mitigation method.
  • To maintain at least 3.05 m (10 ft) of water inventory over the fuel assemblies, makeup water to the SFP is provided within 15.36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />.
  • For Phases 2 and 3 of event mitigation, an SFP makeup rate of 493.2 L/min (130.3 gpm) is needed to match the initial boiloff rate. The boiloff rate decreases over time as the spent fuel decay heat decreases.

Based on this information, an overview of the spent fuel cooling mitigation strategies is provided in Table 5-3. Specific details of the SFP mitigation strategies for each phase are provided in the following subsections.

5.1.2.4.1.1 Phase 1: SFP Cooling (0 to 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />)

In Phase 1, action is taken to open the rollup door to the fuel handling area truck bay on the El. 100-0 of the auxiliary building, prior to the onset of boiling, to establish a vent path from the area for steam generated from the SFP. Based on the analyses, SFP boiling is calculated to occur no sooner than 2.0 KEPCO & KHNP 31

Non-Proprietary Evaluations and Design Enhancements to Incorporate Lessons Learned from Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Accident APR1400-E-P-NR-14005-NP, Rev. 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> after the ELAP event occurs, considering the most limiting plant condition, i.e., mode 6 with full core offload and failure of non-seismic Category I piping.

No makeup water to the SFP is required and the water level is monitored. During this phase, a FLEX pump with external makeup water connections to the RWT is established.

The vent path for the spent fuel area that is established in Phase 1 is maintained open in Phases 2 and 3.

5.1.2.4.1.2 Phase 2: SFP Cooling (8 to 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />)

For Phase 2 event mitigation, makeup is required to the SFP. Based on the analyses presented in Appendix B, a minimum flow rate of 493.2 L/min (130.3 gpm) is required to match the worst-case SFP boiloff rate. This SFP makeup flow requirement is bounded, however, by the SFP makeup flow requirement needed to mitigate the effect of loss of large area (LOLA) per 10 CFR 50.54(hh) (2). The self-powered (diesel-driven) FLEX, 1,893 L/min (500 gpm) and 757 L/min (200 gpm), SFP makeup pump and spray pump relied on to mitigate LOLA are therefore credited to mitigate the BDBEE. These pumps are provided to meet the N+1 requirement for a single-unit site and will meet 10 CFR 50 Appendix A, General Design Criterion (GDC) 2.

SFP Makeup Water Source In all operating modes, the raw water tank (RWT) can be used as the water source for SFP makeup.

The RWT contains sufficient water inventory for SFP makeup required for mode 6 operation (limiting),

3 which is 1,676 m (442,883 gal) as shown in Appendix B, Table B-3.

Flexible hoses, FLEX pump(s), fuel for FLEX pump(s), and any other equipment required for this strategy are normally located away from the auxiliary building (i.e., greater than 91.44 m [100 yards]), so that mobilization of the equipment for SFP makeup capability can occur within the most limiting time of 15.03 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> for mode 6 operation (boiloff time to 3.05 m [10 ft] above fuel rack top water level).

Makeup Water FLEX Pump Staging and Pump Discharge Connections In Phase 2, the FLEX pump described above is staged outside the auxiliary building.

The FLEX pump discharge hose is routed to one of the two permanent SFP makeup connections located outside the east wall of the auxiliary building, as shown in Figure 6-2. One primary connection location is mounted on the wall of auxiliary building adjacent to, and just south of, the emergency diesel generator (EDG) building, and the other connection is mounted on the wall of auxiliary building adjacent to, and just north of, the emergency diesel generator building. The alternate connection is close to the SFP makeup connections. An SFP spray connection is close to each SFP makeup connection.

Standpipes to SFP Area The FLEX pump connections are each connected to an independent, seismically qualified standpipe that runs inside the auxiliary building from the pump staging area to a location above the SFP at El. 156 ft.

The two standpipes for the SFP makeup pump and the two standpipes for the SFP spray pump are located at diverse locations in the auxiliary building and extend from the ground elevation to the SFP elevation. The standpipes are suitably separated on the same side of the auxiliary building. The standpipes have connections at the bottom at ground elevation and the connections are external to the auxiliary building. Operators are able to connect flexible hoses to the standpipes, which are supplied by a FLEX pump. The standpipes for SFP makeup have hard-piped connections to the SFP edge to allow water makeup to the pool. The standpipes for SFP spray have hard-piped connections to the spray KEPCO & KHNP 32

Non-Proprietary Evaluations and Design Enhancements to Incorporate Lessons Learned from Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Accident APR1400-E-P-NR-14005-NP, Rev. 2 headers to allow spray into the pool. Each spray header is equipped with a number of spray nozzles to direct flow into SFP area. An isolation valve and a check valve are provided on each standpipe.

The simplified arrangements of these makeup and spray provisions are shown in Figures 6-2 and 6-3.

SFP Makeup FLEX Pumps The diesel-driven FLEX pumps are provided to supply SFP makeup and SFP spray at a rate of at least 1,893 L/min (500 gpm) and 757 L/min (200 gpm) at discharge pressure heads of 32 m (105 ft) and 32.6 m (107 ft), respectively.

FLEX Equipment Storage The flexible hoses, FLEX pump, FLEX pump fuel supply, and any other FLEX equipment required for this strategy are stored away from the auxiliary building (i.e., greater than 91.44 m [100 yards] away) so that mobilization of the equipment for SFP makeup capability can occur within the 15.36-hour period identified above. The specific storage location, mobilization, and other details for the FLEX equipment are COL items.

5.1.2.4.1.3 Phase 3: SFP Cooling (after 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />)

The APR1400 continues operating with Phase 2 strategies to provide makeup to the SFP in Phase 3. In Phase 3, makeup to the RWT is provided from offsite water sources by the COL applicant.

5.1.2.4.2 Supporting Analyses for the Operational Strategy for SFP Cooling SFP decay heat removal capacity has been evaluated to confirm that SFP cooling can be continued during and after the occurrence of a BDBEE resulting in an ELAP and LUHS.

5.1.2.4.2.1 Evaluation Conditions NEI 12-06, Section 3.2.1.6 defines the following SFP conditions as general criteria and baseline assumptions for SFP conditions:

  • All boundaries of the SFP are intact, including the liner, gates, transfer canals, etc.
  • Although sloshing may occur during a seismic event, the initial loss of SFP inventory does not preclude access to the refueling deck around the pool.
  • SFP cooling system is lost.
  • SFP heat load assumes the maximum design basis heat load as defined in Appendix B.
  • Initial SFP water level is assumed at El. 149 ft 0 in (elevation of SFP cleanup suction nozzle).
  • SFP inventory makeup starts when the water level reaches Level 2 defined in NEI 12-02 (Reference 12).
  • Water inventories:

5.1.2.4.2.2 Evaluation Results From the detailed analysis presented in Appendix B, Table B-1, it can be seen that the worst-case SFP cooling load occurs in mode 6 with a full core offload.

5.1.2.4.2.3 Conclusions Based on the SFP time to boil and makeup analysis provided above and in Appendix B, considering a worst-case full core offload, the conclusions are as follows:

  • The operators have approximately 29.6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> to restore cooling and/or makeup to the SFP in order to keep the spent fuel covered. Therefore, boiling of the SFP can be credited as the Phase 1 event mitigation method.
  • To maintain at least 3.05 m (10 ft) of water inventory over the fuel assemblies, makeup to the SFP is provided within 15.36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />.
  • For Phase 2 and 3 event mitigation, an SFP makeup rate of 493.2 L/m (130.3 gpm) is needed to match the initial boiloff rate. The boiloff rate decreases over time as the spent fuel decay heat decreases.

5.1.2.5 Containment Function and Structural Integrity This subsection presents the operational strategy for containment cooling to ensure the containment function and structural integrity throughout the BDBEE. The APR1400 containment cooling capability to cope with the BDBEE is addressed in this subsection.

5.1.2.5.1 Strategy for Containment Cooling All of the containment heat removal systems are not credited to operate in the containment pressurization following mass and energy releases from the RCS during the BDBEE. However, even in that condition, the containment conditions need to be maintained within the containment design pressure and the environmental qualification (EQ) temperature that ensure functions of the safety related equipment within the containment as well as the containment structural integrity.

The emergency containment spray backup system (ECSBS) is considered as a means to cool the containment atmosphere, consequently decreasing the containment pressure and temperature below the design limits in such a case that the containment pressure increases following the BDBEE.

The ECSBS is manually actuated when the containment pressure reaches the design pressure. The RWT water is used as the water source for supplying to the ECSBS. The RWT has a sufficient capacity to provide water for the containment cooling including for the core and the SFP cooling.

5.1.2.5.2 Supporting Analyses for Containment Cooling The containment design incorporates a prestressed concrete containment with a steel liner to house the nuclear steam supply system. The containment and associated systems are designed to safely withstand environmental conditions that may be expected to occur during the life of the plant, including both short-term and long-term effects following a DBA and beyond DBA.

In the supporting analysis for the containment cooling during the BDBEE, the RCP seal LOCA at full-power operation is chosen as the representative case of power operation and shutdown conditions with SGs KEPCO & KHNP 34

Non-Proprietary Evaluations and Design Enhancements to Incorporate Lessons Learned from Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Accident APR1400-E-P-NR-14005-NP, Rev. 2 available to demonstrate maintaining the containment pressure and temperature below the design limits through the FLEX strategy using the ECSBS.

The APR1400 added a COL item in DCD Chapter 19.3 specifying that the COL applicant is to develop the shutdown risk processes and procedures, and verify the ability to deploy FLEX equipment to provide containment cooling in shutdown operation with SGs not available.

5.1.2.5.2.1 Acceptance Criteria The following acceptance criteria are applied to ensure the containment function and structural integrity throughout the BDBEE.

2

  • Containment pressure is maintained below the containment design pressure of 4.22 kg/cm (60 psig) at a BDBEE.
  • Containment temperature is maintained at a value less than the EQ temperature of 182 °C (360 °F).

5.1.2.5.2.2 Analytical Methods and Assumptions Containment pressure and temperature at a BDBEE are analyzed using the GOTHIC (Generation of Thermal-Hydraulic Information for Containments) computer code. The GOTHIC containment model, which was developed for the containment response calculation to a LOCA described in DCD Tier 2 Section 6.2.1, is used to demonstrate the containment capability to cope with the BDBEE. The GOTHIC containment model with analysis methodology are described in Technical Report "LOCA Mass and Energy Release Methodology" (Reference 17) in detail.

The major assumptions used in the containment analysis are listed below:

  • The ECSBS is actuated when the pressure reaches the containment design pressure in the containment pressurization following a BDBEE.
  • The discharge flow from the RCS leakage is instantly mixed into the containment atmosphere and reaches thermal equilibrium within the containment volume during the transient.
  • Variance in local temperature within the containment is not assumed since the accident scenario is characterized by slow, but continuous containment pressurization.

5.1.2.5.2.3 Analytical Results and Conclusion During the full-power operation, no major pipe break is postulated inside the containment, but RCP seal leakage is assumed to be at a leak rate of 94.64 L/min (25 gpm) per RCP, a total of 378.5 L/min (100 gpm) for four RCPs.

2 The containment pressure reaches the design pressure of 4.22 kg/cm (60 psig) after approximately 16 days of the accident, then rapidly decreases and maintains at a low pressure by continuous spray through the ECSBS. The ECSBS FLEX pump provides the flow rate of 2,839 L/min (750 gpm) at a discharge pressure head of 200 m (656 ft).

The containment temperature reaches the highest temperature of 148 °C (298 °F), but which is well below the temperature limit of 182 °C (360 °F) for the environmental qualification of the safety related equipment within the containment. Figure 5-2 and Figure 5-3 show the containment pressure and temperature transients to the RCP seal LOCA, respectively.

From the analysis, it is noted that the containment pressure and temperature are maintained well below the KEPCO & KHNP 35

Non-Proprietary Evaluations and Design Enhancements to Incorporate Lessons Learned from Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Accident APR1400-E-P-NR-14005-NP, Rev. 2 design limits, thereby ensuring the functions of safety-related equipment within containment as well as the containment structural integrity during the BDBEE.

5.1.2.5.3 ECSBS Operation for Containment Cooling Connection Line The connection line to the FLEX pump runs inside the containment building through the auxiliary building from the Siamese connection to the ECSBS nozzles, which is designed to Seismic Category I standpipe.

The connection line is divided into two quality groups. The line from the Siamese connection to the ECSBS isolation valve (V1013) is designed with Quality Group D and the line from V1013 to ECSBS nozzles is designed with Quality Group B.

A simplified drawing that identifies the flow path to deliver water to the ECSBS is schematically shown in Figure 6-7.

Preparation for ECSBS operation If the ECSBS operation needs to be used, the following tasks are established.

a. Mobilize ECSBS FLEX pump and connect the pump suction to the RWT outlet for water supply
b. Connect pump discharge to the Siamese connection of the ECSBS standpipe
c. Open the RWT isolation valve in yard and enter general access area in the AB and open ECSBS isolation valve (CS-V1013) 5.1.2.6 Support Systems 5.1.2.6.1 Electrical Systems This subsection describes the electrical strategies to support the FLEX items described above for NTTF 4.1 and 4.2.

As stated earlier, the BDBEE causes the unit to lose all ac power. The initial condition is assumed to be a LOOP at a plant site resulting from a BDBEE that affects the offsite power system either throughout the grid or at the plant with no prospect for recovery of offsite power for an extended period. All installed sources of emergency onsite ac power and alternate ac power sources are assumed to be unavailable and not imminently recoverable.

However, the installed electrical distribution system, including inverters and battery chargers, remain available provided they are protected in a manner consistent with current station design.

5.1.2.6.1.1 AC Power The APR1400 has one 4.16 kVac, 5,000 kW mobile generator and two 480 Vac, 1,000 kW mobile GTGs for the N+1 requirement, and those generators are designed to meet the load requirements as stated in Table 5-4. (See Appendix C for a detailed breakdown of electrical loadings.) The 480 V mobile GTG is credited to power the Class 1E 480 V load centers during Phase 2, while the 4.16 kV mobile generator is credited to power the Class 1E 4.16kV switchgear during Phase 3.

The 4.16 kV mobile generator is connected to the 4.16 kV switchgear Train A (or B), and the 480 V mobile GTG is connected to 480 V load center Train A (or B). The provisions to connect these generators are incorporated in the APR1400 design. The 4.16 kV mobile generator powers the 4.16 kV switchgear, 480 V load center and MCC, 480 Vac / 125 Vdc battery charger, 125 Vdc battery, 125 Vdc / 120 Vac inverter, and 120 Vac distribution panel in Train A (or B). The 480 V mobile GTG powers the 480 V load center and KEPCO & KHNP 36

During Phase 1, the APR1400 takes credit for Train C or D to which the TDAFWP is connected, while during Phases 2 and 3, the APR1400 takes credit for Train A or B. The ACP is designed to be powered from both Train A and Train B, and the MSADV is designed to be powered from either Train A or Train B.

Therefore, during Phase 2, when the 480 V mobile GTG, or Phase 3, when the 4.16 kV mobile generator, is connected to either Train A or Train B, the APR1400 can be maintained in a safe condition. During Phase 3, the shutdown cooling pump and heat exchanger are used to safely shutdown the plant.

5.1.2.6.1.2 DC Power The APR1400 does not use mobile dc power supplies.

During an ELAP, Class 1E 125 Vdc power is required for operation of 4.16 kV switchgears, 125 Vdc loads, 480 Vac MOVs and AOVs that are backed up by 125 Vdc batteries, I&C panels and shutdown system instrumentation, and 120 Vac loads that are inverted from 125 Vdc batteries.

Both Train A and B batteries have a capacity of 2,800 Ah and can supply dc power up to 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> without load shedding and an additional 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> with load shedding.

During Phase 2, a 480 V mobile GTG is connected to either Train A or Train B of the Class 1E load center to supply power and recharge respective batteries to fully charged condition.

Battery Qualification The safety-related batteries that are extended for use longer than 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />, with reduced discharge rate through load shedding, are not required to be additionally qualified for FLEX profiles since the NRC endorsed the NEI White Paper with clarifications in September 2013 (References 10 and 11).

5.1.2.6.1.3 Emergency Lighting Emergency dc lighting in areas such as the MCR and technical support center (TSC) / operational support center (OSC) is provided from the Class 1E batteries during Phase 1, and emergency ac lighting is provided from the 480 V mobile GTG during Phase 2 and from 4.16 kV mobile generator during Phase 3.

Access to manual valves requires lighting, and access to instrumentation monitoring or equipment operation also requires lighting. Under this adverse condition, the APR1400 is designed to provide portable lighting (e.g., flashlights or headlamps) as necessary to perform essential functions.

5.1.2.6.1.4 Communications Design features are incorporated into onsite plant communication system to enhance emergency preparedness for BDBEEs associated with simultaneous LUHS. These are described below.

The APR1400 communication subsystems provide an independent and diverse mode of communications.

A failure of one subsystem does not affect the capability to communicate using the other system.

Electric power is provided to the communications subsystems from the non-Class 1E uninterruptible power system (UPS) with 1-hour capacity in normal operation. The wireless communication system is KEPCO & KHNP 37

Non-Proprietary Evaluations and Design Enhancements to Incorporate Lessons Learned from Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Accident APR1400-E-P-NR-14005-NP, Rev. 2 supplied from the dedicated emergency UPS with 16-hour capacity.

However, normal communications may be lost or hampered during an ELAP. In this condition, portable communication devices are provided to support interaction between personnel in the plant and those providing overall command and control. Communication gear (satellite phones and radios) are also provided for onsite and offsite communications. This system provides an alternate communication path for outside connections. The satellite telephone equipment includes a roof-mounted antenna and transceiver.

5.1.2.6.2 Water Supply System The primary source of water for the core cooling function is the AFWST for the first 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />, and the RWT can be used thereafter for up to 11 days, if required (Table 5-2).

For the SFP makeup and spray function, the RWT is the source of water.

The detailed design of the RWT related with site specific data is the responsibility of COL applicant. The COL applicant will confirm, satisfy, or fulfill the specific design functional requirements of raw water tank including the associated instrument, capacity, location, flow path to on-site, the valve pit connected to FLEX equipment, and any other design features as described in DCD Section 19.3 in support of BDBEE mitigation strategies. Also, the COL applicant will confirm and ensure that the RWT and flow path to the FLEX equipment (structures, piping, components, and connections) are designed to be robust with respect to applicable hazards (e.g., seismic events, floods, high winds, and associated missiles).

5.1.2.6.3 Fuel Oil Supply System EDG fuel oil day tank and the underground 7-day fuel oil storage tanks are used for running the diesel-driven FLEX pumps. During Phase 3, fuel oil is provided from an offsite source. Table 5-5 provides a summary of the fuel oil demands during the three phases of this event.

The existing onsite EDG fuel oil storage tanks and associated diesel fuel oil day tanks have a capacity of at least 32 days to sustain the demand for fuel oil during full-power mode operation 5.1.2.7 Summary of APR1400 Mitigation Capability for FLEX The APR1400 baseline capability is sufficient to support the safety functions of core cooling, containment function, and SFP cooling after BDBEE, with simultaneous loss of all ac power and LUHS. However, FLEX equipment stored onsite (or offsite) will be used to support the mitigation of a BDBEE resulting in an ELAP and LUHS. The APR1400 mitigation capability of the BDBEE is summarized in Table 5-6, which is based on the NEI 12-06 (Reference 8) FLEX capability matrix table. This table outlines baseline and FLEX capabilities of the APR1400 to maintain safety functions of core cooling, containment, and SFP cooling.

Non-Proprietary Evaluations and Design Enhancements to Incorporate Lessons Learned from Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Accident APR1400-E-P-NR-14005-NP, Rev. 2 5.1.3 Recommendation 7.1 - SFP Instrumentation 5.1.3.1 Introduction Recommendation 7.1 is a Tier 1 recommendation that resulted in the issuance of NRC Order EA-12-051 (Reference 6). The Order modified licenses to require a reliable indication of the water level in associated spent fuel storage pools capable of supporting identification of the following pool water level conditions by trained personnel: (1) level that is adequate to support operation of the normal fuel pool cooling system, (2) level that is adequate to provide substantial radiation shielding for a person standing on the spent fuel pool operating deck, and (3) level where fuel remains covered and actions to implement makeup water addition should no longer be deferred.

The APR1400 SFP water level instrumentation is consistent with the guidelines in NRC EA-12-051 (Reference 6), NEI 12-02 Rev. 1 (Reference 12), and JLD-ISG-2012-03 Rev. 0 (Reference 13) as described in the following subsection.

5.1.3.2 Basic Strategy The strategy for addressing NTTF 7.1 SFP instrumentation is described below.

5.1.3.2.1 Identification of Spent Fuel Pool Water Levels The following are the key spent fuel pool water levels:

  • Level 1: Level adequate to support operation of the normal SFP cooling system Indicated water level on either the primary or backup instrument channel of greater than El. 144 ft 0in (based on ensuring the open end of the normal suction lines does not become uncovered) plus the accuracy of the SFP water level instrument channel.
  • Level 2: Level adequate to provide substantial radiation shielding for a person standing on the spent fuel pool operating deck Indicated level on either the primary or backup instrument channel of greater than 3.05 m (+/-0.305 m)

(10 ft [+/- 1 ft]) above the top of the fuel storage racks. The 3.05 m (10 ft) criterion is conservative with regard to dose, in that the APR1400 DCD Subsections 9.1.3.1 and 9.1.3.3.4 indicate that dose would remain at or below 0.025 mSv (2.5 mrem/hr) at the surface of the water. This monitoring level provides reasonable assurance that there is adequate water level to provide substantial radiation shielding for a person standing on the spent fuel pool operating deck. The elevation associated with this level is greater than 139 ft 8 in plus the accuracy of the SFP water level instrument channel, which is determined at the COL stage.

  • Level 3: Level where fuel remains covered and actions to implement makeup water addition should no longer be deferred Indicated level is on either the primary or backup instrument channel of greater than 0.305 m (1 ft) above the top of the fuel storage racks. The elevation associated with this level is greater than 129 ft 8 in plus the accuracy of the SFP water level instrument channel, which is determined at the COL stage. This monitoring level provides reasonable assurance that there is adequate water level above the stored fuel in the rack.

KEPCO & KHNP 39

Non-Proprietary Evaluations and Design Enhancements to Incorporate Lessons Learned from Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Accident APR1400-E-P-NR-14005-NP, Rev. 2 5.1.3.2.2 Instruments The design of the instruments is consistent with the guidelines of NRC JLDISG-2012-03 Rev. 0 and NEI 12-02 Rev. 1. Specifically, the channels are designed as described below.

  • Primary (fixed) instrument channel (Channel A)

The primary instrument channel provides level indication through the use of guided wave radar (GWR) technology using the principle of time domain reflectometry (TDR). The instrument provides a single continuous span from above Level 1 to within 0.305 m (1 ft) of the top of the spent fuel racks.

  • Backup instrument channel (Channel B)

The backup instrument channel is identical to the primary channel and is a permanent, fixed channel. The backup instrument channel provides level indication through the use of GWR technology using the principle of TDR. The instrument provides a single continuous span from above Level 1 to within 0.305 m (1 ft) of the top of the spent fuel racks.

The primary and backup instrument channels provide continuous level indication over a minimum range from the high SFP alarm El. 154 ft 2 in plus the accuracy of the SFP water level instrument channel to the top of the spent fuel racks at El. 129 ft 8 in minus the accuracy of the SFP water level instrument channel.

5.1.3.2.3 Reliability Conformance with the guidelines of NRC JLD-ISG-2012-03 Rev. 0 and NEI 12-02 Rev. 1 provides reasonable assurance of the reliability of the primary and backup instrument channels, as described in the subsections below. The GWR design was selected due to its reliability.

5.1.3.2.4 Instrument Channel Design Criteria Instrument channel design is consistent with the guidelines of NRC JLD-ISG2012-03 Rev. 0 and NEI 12-02 Rev. 1.

Instrument channels consist of a corrosion- and radiation-resistant metal probe submerged in the pool and connected to a corresponding display/processor by coaxial cable. The probe spans the length of the measured range of pool levels.

The probe is seismically mounted. It is designed to operate in borated and non-borated water over the entire expected range of pool conditions from normal temperatures to boiling temperatures. Cables and connections are designed for expected radiation levels and environments of greater than 100 °C (212 °F) and 100 percent humidity. Probes, cables, connectors, and mounting hardware in the area of the SFP are designed to function after the effects of seismically induced sloshing.

In the SFP area, cables shall be routed in seismically mounted rigid metal conduit. Outside the pool area, cables shall be routed in seismically mounted rigid metal conduit, trays, or raceways. Display/processors shall be mounted in promptly accessible areas outside of the SFP area as defined in Subsection 5.1.3.2.7 of this report.

Channels shall be physically separated by routing instrument cables in separate conduits, trays, or raceways, locating sensors on opposite sides of the pool near the corners, etc. Physical channel separation is maintained down through and including each channel display/processor where convergence may be allowed so that display/processors can be located close to each other or side by side.

Movement of the probe during a seismic event does not damage the pool liner and does not result in KEPCO & KHNP 40

Non-Proprietary Evaluations and Design Enhancements to Incorporate Lessons Learned from Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Accident APR1400-E-P-NR-14005-NP, Rev. 2 contact with spent fuel. Indication remains reliable after a seismic event.

Minor debris buildup on the probe does not impact performance.

5.1.3.2.5 Arrangement The channels/probes of level instruments are separated to reduce the potential for falling debris or missiles affecting both channels of instrumentation. This placement, coupled with separate routing paths for cables and use of rigid conduit, provides reasonable protection against falling debris and structural damage.

Instrument power is derived from the Class 1E 480 V MCC. The MCC is located in the auxiliary building.

The MCC is expected to be in a mild environment after a BDBEE and can be easily accessed from the MCR; therefore, personnel can promptly obtain readings from the display. This building provides adequate protection against the effects of temperature, flood, humidity, radiation, seismic events, and missile hazards.

5.1.3.2.6 Mounting Both the primary and backup systems are installed as seismic Category I to meet the NRC JLD-ISG-2012-03 and NEI 12-02 guidance requirements.

Other hardware stored in the SFP is evaluated to provide reasonable assurance that it does not adversely interact with the SFP instrument probes during a seismic event.

5.1.3.2.7 Qualification Design criteria will provide reasonable assurance of instrument channel reliability during normal, event, and post-event conditions for no fewer than 7 days or until offsite resources can be deployed. The combination of analyses, operating experience, and/or manufacturer testing of channel components includes practices that are used to validate design criteria and considers the following:

  • Post-event conditions in the area of instrument channel components used for all instrument components
  • Effects of shock and vibration on all instrument channel components used during and following any applicable event for installed components
  • Seismic effects on instrument channel components used during and following a potential seismic event for installed components Components in the area of the SFP are designed for the temperature, humidity, and radiation levels expected during normal, event, and post-event conditions for no fewer than 7 days post-event or until offsite resources can be deployed by the mitigating strategies resulting from Order 12-049, Order Modifying Licenses With Regard to Requirements for Mitigation for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events." Examples of post-event conditions that are considered are:
  • Radiological conditions for a normal refueling quantity of freshly discharged (100 hours0.00116 days <br />0.0278 hours <br />1.653439e-4 weeks <br />3.805e-5 months <br />) fuel with SFP water level within 0.305 m (1 ft) of the top of the SFP racks (Level 3)
  • Temperature of 100 °C (212 °F) and 100 percent relative humidity environment
  • Boiling water and steam environment KEPCO & KHNP 41

Non-Proprietary Evaluations and Design Enhancements to Incorporate Lessons Learned from Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Accident APR1400-E-P-NR-14005-NP, Rev. 2

  • The mitigating strategies developed in response to NEI 12-06, Diverse and Flexible Coping Strategies (FLEX)

Equipment located in the SFP is qualified to withstand a total accumulated dose of expected lifetime at normal conditions plus accident dose received at post-event conditions with SFP water level within 0.305 m (1 ft) of the top of the fuel rack seated in the spent fuel pool (Level 3).

The metal probe and cable in the spent fuel pool area are robust components that are not adversely affected by expected radiation, temperature, or humidity. The areas selected for display/processor installation are considered mild environments in which personnel access is not prohibited by radiation, temperature, or humidity, and are readily accessible by operators during or after a BDBEE.

Components of the instrument channels are qualified for shock and vibration using one or more of the following methods:

  • Components are supplied by manufacturers that implement commercial quality programs (such as ISO 9001, Quality Management Systems - Requirements) with shock and vibration requirements included in the purchase specification at levels commensurate with portable hand-held devices or transportation applications.
  • Components have a history of operational reliability in environments with significant shock and vibration loading, such as portable hand-held device or transportation applications.
  • Components are inherently resistant to shock and vibration loadings, such as cables.

Demonstration of seismic adequacy is achieved using one or more of the following methods:

  • Demonstration of seismic motion consistent with that of existing design basis loads at the installed location.
  • Substantial history of operational reliability in environments with significant vibration, such as for portable hand-held devices or transportation applications. Such a vibration design envelope shall be inclusive of the effects of seismic motion imparted to the components proposed at the location of the proposed installation.
  • Demonstration that proposed devices are substantially similar in design to models that have been previously tested for seismic effects in excess of the plant design basis at the location where the instrument is to be installed (g-levels and frequency ranges).
  • Seismic qualification using seismic motion consistent with that of existing design basis loading at the installation location.

In those cases where the commercial quality program does not address the seismic levels and frequencies, additional analysis or testing will be provided.

5.1.3.2.8 Independence The primary instrument channel is independent of the backup instrument channel. Independence is obtained by physical separation of components between channels and the separate use of Class 1E KEPCO & KHNP 42

Non-Proprietary Evaluations and Design Enhancements to Incorporate Lessons Learned from Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Accident APR1400-E-P-NR-14005-NP, Rev. 2 MCC. The two permanently mounted instruments in the pool are physically separated as described in Subsections 5.1.3.2.4 and 5.1.3.2.5.

5.1.3.2.9 Power Supplies The power supplies for the instrument channels are as follows:

  • Each instrument channel is normally powered from a 120 Vac 60 Hz distribution panel of Class 1E 480 Vac MCC to support continuous monitoring of SFP level.
  • On loss of normal 120 Vac power from the Class 1E 480 V MCC, each channels internal UPS automatically transfers instrument power to a dedicated backup battery. If normal ac power is restored, the UPS automatically transfers instrument power back to the normal ac power.
  • The dedicated backup batteries are sized to be capable of supporting continuous monitoring of SFP level for a minimum of 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> of operation. This provides adequate time until the onsite 480 V mobile GTG or offsite 4.16 kV mobile generator can supply the power by mitigating strategies resulting from the ELAP event.
  • Instrument accuracy and performance are not affected by restoration of power or restarting the processor.

5.1.3.2.10 Accuracy Accuracy is consistent with the guidelines of NRC JLD-ISG-2012-03 Rev. 0 and NEI 12-02 Rev. 1.

Accuracy and indication features are as follows:

  • Accuracy: The absolute system accuracy is better than +/-7.62 cm (+/- 3 in). This accuracy is applicable for normal conditions and the temperature, humidity, chemistry, and radiation levels expected for BDBEE conditions.
  • Trending: The display trends and retains data when powered from either normal or backup power.
  • Restoration after loss of power: The system automatically swaps to available power (backup battery power or external dc source) when normal power is lost. Neither the source of power nor system restoration impact accuracy. Previously collected data are retained.
  • Diagnostics: The system performs and displays the results of real-time information related to the integrity of the cable, probe, and instrument channel.

The above features provide reasonable assurance that trained personnel can easily determine when SFP level falls below each regulatory level (Levels 1, 2, and 3) without conflicting or ambiguous indication.

5.1.3.2.11 Testing Testing and calibration are consistent with the guidelines of NRC JLD-ISG-2012-03 Rev. 0 and NEI 12-02 Rev. 1.

The display/processor performs automatic in-situ calibration and automatically monitors for cable, connector, and probe faults using TDR technology. Channel degradation due to age or corrosion is not expected but can be identified by monitoring trends.

The COL applicant should develop the station procedures and preventive maintenance tasks to perform KEPCO & KHNP 43

Non-Proprietary Evaluations and Design Enhancements to Incorporate Lessons Learned from Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Accident APR1400-E-P-NR-14005-NP, Rev. 2 required surveillance testing, calibration, backup battery maintenance, functional checks, and visual inspections of the probes.

5.1.3.2.12 Display The primary and backup level instruments are continuously displayed in the main control room and remote shutdown room.

The displays are consistent with the guidelines of NRC JLD-ISG-2012-03 Rev. 0 and NEI 12-02 Rev. 1.

5.1.3.2.13 Instrument Channel Program Criteria The COL applicant should perform training and address the SFP level instrumentation maintenance procedure development in accordance with the guidelines of NRC JLD-ISG-2012-03 Rev. 0 and NEI 12-02 Rev. 1 as described below.

  • Training The systematic approach to training (SAT) is used to identify the population to be trained and to determine both the initial and continuing elements of the required training. Training is completed prior to placing the instrumentation in service.
  • Procedures Procedures for maintenance and testing are developed using regulatory guidelines and vendor instructions.

BDBEE operation guidance also addresses the following:

  • A strategy to ensure SFP water addition is initiated at an appropriate time consistent with implementation of NEI 12-06 Rev. 0.
  • Restoration of non-functioning SFP level channels after an event. Restoration timing is consistent with the emergency condition. After an event, commercially available components that may not meet all qualifications may be used to replace components to restore functionality.

5.1.3.3 Conformance with Regulatory Recommendations Conformance with NEI 12-02, Industry Guidance for Compliance with NRC Order EA-12-051, To Modify Licenses with Regard to Reliable Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation, Rev. 1 (Reference 12), which the NRC has endorsed in JLD-ISG-2012-03, Rev. 0 (Reference 13), is summarized in Table 5-10.

SFP decay heat removal capacity is evaluated complying with NEI 12-06, Section 3.2.1.6 and summarized in Subsection 5.1.2.4.2.

Other site impacts as a result of the event would be addressed according to plant priorities and resource availability.

The FLEX strategy relies upon the following principles:

1) Initially cope by relying on installed plant equipment.
2) Transition from installed plant equipment to onsite FLEX equipment.
3) Obtain additional capability and redundancy from offsite resources until power, water, and coolant injection systems are restored or commissioned.
4) Response actions will be prioritized based on available equipment, resources, and time constraints. The initial coping response actions can be performed by available site personnel post-event.
5) Transition from installed plant equipment to onsite FLEX equipment may involve onsite, offsite, or recalled personnel as justified by plant-specific evaluation.

NEI 12-06, Rev. 0 APR1400 Section Summary (1) Plant procedures/guidance should identify site-specific actions necessary to restore ac power to essential loads. If an Alternate ac (AAC) power source is available it should be started as soon as possible. If not, actions should be taken to secure existing equipment alignments and provide an alternate power source as soon as possible based on relative plant priorities.

(2) Plant procedures/guidance should recognize the importance of AFW/HPCI/RCIC/IC during the early stages of the event and direct the operators to invest appropriate attention to assuring its initiation and continued, reliable operation throughout the transient since this provides reasonable assurance decay heat removal.

(3) Plant procedures/guidance should specify actions necessary to assure that equipment functionality can be maintained (including support systems or alternate method) in an ELAP/LUHS or can perform without ac power or normal access to the UHS.

(4) Plant procedures/guidance should identify the sources of potential reactor inventory loss, and specify actions to prevent or limit significant loss.

(5) Plant procedures/guidance should ensure that a flow path is promptly established for makeup flow to the steam generator/nuclear boiler and identify backup water sources in order of intended use. Additionally, plant procedures/guidance should specify clear criteria for transferring to the next preferred source of water.

(6) Plant procedures/guidance should identify loads that need to be stripped from the plant dc buses (both Class 1E and non-Class 1E) for the purpose of conserving dc power.

(9) Plant procedures/guidance should consider the effects of ac power loss on area access, as well as the need to gain entry to the Protected Area and internal locked areas where remote equipment operation is necessary.

(10) Plant procedures/guidance should consider loss of ventilation effects on specific energized equipment necessary for shutdown (e.g., those containing internal electrical power supplies or other local heat sources that may be energized or present in an ELAP.

(11) Plant procedures/guidance should consider accessibility requirements at locations where operators will be required to perform local manual operations.

(12) Plant procedures/guidance should consider loss of heat tracing effects for equipment required to cope with an ELAP.

Alternate steps, if needed, should be identified to supplement planned action.

(13) Use of portable equipment, e.g., portable power supplies, portable pumps, etc., can extend plant coping capability. The procedures/guidance for implementation of these portable systems should address the transitions from installed sources to portable are available as well as to address delivery capabilities.

4. Different FLEX equipment can be credited for independent events.
5. Consideration should be given to the transport from the storage area following the external event recognizing that external events can result in obstacles restricting normal pathways for movement.
6. If portable FLEX equipment is pre-staged such that it minimizes the time delay and burden of hook-up following an external event, then the equipment should be evaluated to not have an adverse effect on existing SSCs and the primary connection point should be as close to the intended point of supply as possible, e.g., a staged power supply to recharge batteries should be connected as close to the battery charger as practicable to maintain diversity and minimize the reliance on other installed equipment.
7. FLEX equipment should be stored and maintained in a manner that is consistent with assuring that it does not degrade over long periods of storage and that it is accessible for periodic maintenance and testing.
8. If 50.54(hh)(2) equipment is credited in the FLEX mitigating strategies, it should meet the above storage requirements in addition to the 50.54(hh)(2) requirements.
9. If debris removal equipment is needed, it should be reasonably protected from the applicable external events such that it is likely to remain functional and deployable to clear obstructions from the pathway between the FLEX equipments storage location and its deployment location(s).

NEI 12-06, Rev. 0 APR1400 Section Summary 11.4.1 Objectives The purpose of this section is to describe the procedural Not a requirement approach for the implementation of diverse and flexible (FLEX) strategies. This approach includes appropriate interfaces between the various accident mitigation procedures so that overall strategies are coherent and comprehensive. This approach is intended to provide guidance for responding to BDBEE events while minimizing the need for invoking 50.54 (x).

b. Existing AOPs and EOPs will be revised to the extent necessary to include appropriate portions or reference to FSG.
2. Where FLEX strategies rely on permanently installed equipment, changes may be required to AOPs and EOPs.
3. Transition from the current procedure structure to the modified procedure structure that incorporates the FLEX strategies is illustrated in Figure 11-1.

Operator training for beyond-design-basis event accident mitigation should not be given undue weight in comparison with other training requirements. The testing/evaluation of Operator knowledge and skills in this area should be similarly weighted.

2.2 Rational During the events at Fukushima Dai-ichi, responders were NA without reliable instrumentation to determine water level in the spent fuel pool. This led to NRC concerns that the Fukushima Dai-ichi Unit 4 pool might have boiled dry, resulting in significant fuel damage. The events at Fukushima Dai-ichi demonstrated the confusion and misapplication of resources that may result from beyond-design-basis external events when reliable spent fuel pool level instrumentation is not available.

6.2 Specific Design Enhancements and Programs 6.2.1 Beyond Design Basis Seismic and Flood Protection BDB seismic and flood protection is a COL item.

6.2.2 Primary Side FLEX Pump(s) and Connections 6.2.2.1 Design Description One primary side FLEX pump connection has been provided into the SIS, downstream of the safety injection pump (SIP) no. 1 discharge line connection to the direct vessel injection (DVI) nozzle on the reactor vessel (RV) in the RCS, as shown in Figure 6-1. The primary side FLEX pump connection can be used by the high-head or low-head FLEX pump, depending on their necessity. The primary side high-head FLEX pump suction is the IRWST, while the low-head FLEX pump suction will be determined by the COL applicant depending on the site specific FLEX strategy for low mode operations with SGs not available. The connector size to the hose screw connector upstream of the primary FLEX pump suction is designed as 6.35 cm(2.5 in) diameter in accordance with the fire industry standard, while the primary FLEX pump suction line is designed as 10.16 cm (4 in) diameter. The connection for FLEX pump will not introduce new failure during normal plant operation by keeping the RCS pressure boundary through manual isolation (Safety Class 1) and blind flange.

KEPCO & KHNP 101

Non-Proprietary Evaluations and Design Enhancements to Incorporate Lessons Learned from Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Accident APR1400-E-P-NR-14005-NP, Rev. 2 6.2.2.2 Design Basis The IRWST is used as the water source for the ACP, and the primary side high-head FLEX pump. The water volume required for RCS inventory makeup during Phase 2 of full-power operation is approximately 3

643.52 m (170,000 gal). The onsite water sources are sufficient to maintaining the plant in hot standby or hot shutdown condition for 2 weeks without considering consumption for the SFP cooling.

The primary side high-head FLEX pump is designed to supply 189.25 L/min (50 gpm) constantly, regardless of RCS pressure, in order to maintain the RCS inventory and remain in the hot shutdown condition, if the event occurs during full-power operation or lower mode of operation with SGs available.

2 Alternatively, the low-head FLEX pump is designed to have a TDH of 160.02 m (525 ft) (17 kg/cm A [243 psia] approximately) at 2,839 L/min (750 gpm) in order to maintain the RCS inventory and keep the cold shutdown condition by feed-and-bleed at lower modes of operation with SGs not available.

The primary side FLEX pump will be designed, manufactured, tested and installed in accordance with the applicable commercial codes and standards such as hydraulic institute pump standard, and with the design, storage, maintenance, testing as outlined in the NEI 12-06, Rev 0 Section 11.0. The primary side FLEX pump will not be designed as Seismic Category I, but will be stored in structures which are designed to satisfy GDC 2 to ensure meeting functional requirements for external environments such as seismic, flooding, wind, etc. for the specific site.

The installed non-safety related in-line valves for the safety injection system are designed as Quality Group D and Seismic Category I requirements. Since these are in-line valves, there is no specific regulating performance requirement for these components. The applicable codes and standards for valves are ASME B31.1 and B16.34 The COL applicant is responsible for determining the final FLEX pump design head considering site conditions.

6.2.2.3 Compliance with NRC Recommendation By incorporating this design into the APR1400, an alternate strategy of providing RCS inventory makeup is available when the ACP is not available. This core cooling strategy is described as the contingency plan in Subsection 5.1.2.3 of this report. This design change increases the reliability of the IRWST to maintain RCS water inventory after a BDBEE. This design feature complies with the requirements specified in References 5, 7, and 8.

6.2.3 Spent Fuel Pool - Makeup Line and Spray Line Enhancements 6.2.3.1 Design Description As part of the FLEX strategy to address Recommendation 4.2, Figures 6-2, 6-3, and 6-4 depict the SFP configuration to maintain SFP cooling by providing SFP makeup and SFP spray capabilities. Therefore, the following design is provided in the APR1400 to enhance the capability of the SFP diverse makeup lines and SFP spray lines to cope with BDBEEs:

  • Primary Connection: Permanently installed suction connection from the RWT for FLEX pump suction.

RWT is used as the suction water source of the FLEX pumps. Two seismically qualified, 15.24 cm(6 in) diameter lines are installed downstream of RWT in the yard. The primary and secondary piping connections with isolation valves are located outside building and hose KEPCO & KHNP 102

Non-Proprietary Evaluations and Design Enhancements to Incorporate Lessons Learned from Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Accident APR1400-E-P-NR-14005-NP, Rev. 2 connector are located in the yard. A 15.24 cm(6 in) flexible hose with proper fittings is connected between the water supply line and the FLEX pump suction.

  • Hose connections are provided for the FLEX pump connections for the SFP spray lines and SFP diverse makeup standpipes at the exterior of the auxiliary building.

6.2.3.2 Design Basis The SFP spray pump and SFP makeup pump will be designed, manufactured, tested and installed in accordance with the applicable commercial codes and standards such as hydraulic institute pump standard and with the design, storage, maintenance, testing as outlined in the NEI 12-06, Rev 0 Section 11.0. The SFP spray pump and SFP makeup pump will not be designed as Seismic Category I, but will be stored in structures which are designed to satisfy GDC 2 to ensure meeting functional requirements for external environments such as seismic, flooding, wind, etc. for the specific site.

The installed non-safety related in-line valves for the SFP external makeup water system are designed as Quality Group D, and Seismic Category I requirements. Since these are in-line valves, there is no specific regulating performance requirement for these components.The applicable codes and standards for valves are ASME B31.1 and B16.34.

The SFP diverse makeup and spray lines are 15.24 cm (6 in) and 10.16 cm (4 in) pipes, respectively, to accommodate the makeup flow of 1,893 L/min (500 gpm) at a discharge pressure head of 32 m (105 ft),

and the spray flow of 757 L/min (200 gpm) at a discharge pressure head of 32.6 m (107 ft). Since a flow rate of 493.2 L/min (130.3 gpm), approximately, is required to restore SFP inventory during SFP boiling (see Subsection 5.1.2.4), pipe sizes for the SFP makeup and spray lines are sufficient to provide the necessary flow rate during BDBEE.

These seismically qualified SFP makeup and SFP spray lines are connected to an onsite source of water, namely, the RWT.

The COL applicant is responsible for determining the final FLEX pump design head considering site conditions.

6.2.3.3 Compliance with NRC Recommendations By incorporating this design into the APR1400, diverse and reliable sources of makeup water to the SFP are available to cope with BDBEE. This SFP cooling strategy is described in Subsection 5.1.2.4 of this report. These design features comply with the requirements specified in References 5, 7, and 8.

6.2.4 SFP Level Instrumentation 6.2.4.1 Design Description The key SFP water levels associated with this design are described in Subsection 5.1.3. The specific design description is as follows:

Level 1: Level adequate to support operation of the normal SFP cooling system Indicated water level on either the primary or backup instrument channel of greater than El. 144 ft 0 in (based on ensuring the open end of the normal suction lines does not become uncovered) plus the accuracy of the SFP water level instrument channel.

Level 2: Level adequate to provide substantial radiation shielding for a person standing on the spent fuel pool operating deck KEPCO & KHNP 103

Non-Proprietary Evaluations and Design Enhancements to Incorporate Lessons Learned from Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Accident APR1400-E-P-NR-14005-NP, Rev. 2 The indicated level on either the primary or backup instrument channel of greater than 3.05 m (+/-0.305 m)

(10 ft [+/-1 ft]) above the top of the fuel storage racks. The 3.05 m (10 ft) criterion is conservative with regard to dose, in that the APR1400 DCD Subsections 9.1.3.1 and 9.1.3.3.4 indicate that dose would remain at or below 0.025 mSv (2.5 mrem/hr) at the surface of the water. This monitoring level provides reasonable assurance there is adequate water level to provide substantial radiation shielding for a person standing on the SFP operating deck. The elevation associated with this level is greater than 139 ft 8 in plus the accuracy of the SFP water level instrument channel, which will be determined at the COL stage.

Level 3: Level where fuel remains covered and actions to implement makeup water addition should no longer be deferred The indicated level is on either the primary or backup instrument channel of greater than 0.305 m (1 ft) above the top of the fuel storage racks. The elevation associated with this level is greater than 129 ft 8 in plus the accuracy of the SFP water level instrument channel, which will be determined at the COL stage.

This monitoring level provides assurance that there is adequate water level above the stored fuel seated in the rack.

The following instruments are provided at the SFP to address the requirements of NRC JLD-ISG-2012-03 Rev. 0 and NEI 12-02 Rev. 1. Specifically, the channels are designed as described below:

  • Primary (fixed) Instrument Channel (Channel A)

The primary instrument channel provides level indication through the use of guided wave radar (GWR) technology using the principle of TDR. The instrument provides a single continuous span from above Level 1 to within 0.305 m (1 ft) of the top of the spent fuel racks.

  • Backup Instrument Channel (Channel B)

The backup instrument channel is identical to the primary channel and is a permanent, fixed channel. The backup instrument channel provides level indication through the use of GWR technology using the principle of TDR. The instrument provides a single continuous span from above Level 1 to within 0.305 m (1 ft) of the top of the spent fuel racks.

The primary and backup instrument channels provide continuous level indication over a minimum range from the high SFP alarm El. 154 ft 2 in plus the accuracy of the SFP water level instrument channel to the top of the spent fuel racks at El 129 ft 8 in minus the accuracy of the SFP water level instrument channel.

6.2.4.2 Design Basis The SFP instruments selected are seismically mounted. The probe is designed to operate in borated water and non-borated water over the entire expected range of pool conditions from normal water temperatures to boiling temperatures. Cables and connections are designed for expected radiation levels and environments of greater than 100 °C (212 °F) and 100 percent humidity.

6.2.4.3 Compliance with NRC Recommendations The requirements and guidelines of NEI 12-02, Rev. 1 and NRCs JLD-ISG-2012-03, Rev. 0 are met.

6.2.5 AFWS Secondary Side FLEX Pump Connection 6.2.5.1 Design Description Two secondary side diesel-driven FLEX pump connections are provided to the auxiliary feedwater system (AFWS) supply lines. One FLEX pump is connected to the train of the TDAFWP PP01A and the other to KEPCO & KHNP 104

Non-Proprietary Evaluations and Design Enhancements to Incorporate Lessons Learned from Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Accident APR1400-E-P-NR-14005-NP, Rev. 2 the TDAFWP PP001B. The FLEX pump suction and discharge pipes are 15.24 cm (6 in) diameter with Siamese connection. The suction and discharge connections are provided at the upstream of the auxiliary feedwater pump (AFWP) suction and the upstream of the AFW modulating valve, respectively. The RWT is an alternate water source that is independent, seismically qualified, and is connected to the AFWP suction. The piping sections connected at the AFW supply lines are classified as Safety Class 3, seismic Category I. The piping section downstream of the isolation valve at the exterior of the auxiliary building up to the connector is non-safety class and designed as seismic Category I. The specific features are depicted in Figure 6-5. Also, Figure 6-6 depicts the fuel oil connection for the secondary side FLEX pumps.

6.2.5.2 Design Basis The AFWSTs are used as the water source for the TDAFWP and the secondary side FLEX pumps. Before water in the AFWST depletes, the suction of the TDAFWP is switched to the RWT. The onsite water sources are sufficient to keep the hot shutdown condition and for continuous NCC operation for at least 11 days.

Each secondary side FLEX pump is designed to remove decay heat and keep the hot shutdown condition.

The fuel for secondary side FLEX pump is supplied from the EDG fuel oil storage tank A/B as shown in Figure 6-6.

The secondary side FLEX pump will be designed, manufactured, tested and installed in accordance with the applicable commercial codes and standards such as hydraulic institute pump standard, and with the design, storage, maintenance, testing as outlined in the NEI 12-06, Rev 0 Section 11.0. The secondary side FLEX pump will not be designed as Seismic Category I, but will be stored in structures which are designed to satisfy GDC 2 to ensure meeting functional requirements for external environment such as seismic, flooding, wind, etc. for the specific site. Each secondary side FLEX pump is designed for 1,174 L/min (310 gpm) at a TDH of 160 m (525 ft).

The COL applicants are responsible to determine the final FLEX pump design head considering site conditions.

6.2.5.3 Compliance with NRC Recommendations By incorporating this design into the APR1400, alternative water makeup sources to the TDAFWP are available to supplement the water source to the SG and provide RCS cooldown. This design increases the reliability of the AFWS to maintain the reactor core cooldown after the BDBEE. This design feature and the mitigation strategies addressed herein comply with the requirement specified in References 5, 7, and 8.

6.2.6 Electric Power Supply System 6.2.6.1 Design Description - Electrical Systems The APR1400 has one 4.16 kVac, 5,000 kW mobile generator and two 480 Vac, 1,000 kW mobile gas turbine generators for the N+1 requirement, and those generators are designed to meet the load requirements.

6.2.8 Emergency Procedures The emergency communication system/enhancement, staffing large-scale natural events, and revisions to EP for ELAP are COL items.

6.2.9 Storage of FLEX Equipment The COL applicant is responsible for addressing the details of the following guidance for the storage and deployment of the FLEX equipment:

1. The FLEX equipment is stored in dedicated buildings/structures that will provide reasonable accessibility and withstand the BDBEEs and meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, GDC 2. The N+1 equipment is stored in separate buildings.
2. Suitable storage locations that provide reasonable protection during specific external events are selected in accordance with guidance provided in NEI 12-06 (Reference 8) Section 5 through 9.
3. A technical basis should be established for the storage for the FLEX equipment that provides the KEPCO & KHNP 106

Non-Proprietary Evaluations and Design Enhancements to Incorporate Lessons Learned from Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Accident APR1400-E-P-NR-14005-NP, Rev. 2 inputs, assumptions, and documented basis that the mitigation strategy and support equipment will be reasonably protected from applicable external events such that the equipment could be operated in place, if applicable, or moved to its deployment locations. This basis should be auditable, consistent with generally accepted engineering principles, and controlled within the configuration document control system.

4. The FLEX equipment should be stored in storage locations chosen for the equipment that provide protection from external events as necessary to allow the equipment to perform its function without loss of capability such that no one external event can reasonably fail the site FLEX capability.
5. Storage locations must include considerations of a suitable and convenient means to bring the equipment to the connection points in time to initiate the strategy prior to expiration of the estimated capabilities to maintain core and spent fuel pool cooling, and containment functions in the initial response phase. Consideration should be given to the transport from the storage areas following the external event, recognizing that external events can result in obstacles restricting normal pathways for movement.
6. If the FLEX equipment is pre-staged such that it minimizes the time delay and burden of hook-up following an external event, then the equipment should be evaluated to not have an adverse effect on existing SSCs and the primary connection point should be as close to the intended point of supply as possible.
7. The FLEX equipment should be stored and maintained in a manner that is consistent with assuring that it does not degrade over long periods of storage and that it is accessible for periodic maintenance and testing.
8. If 50.54(hh)(2) equipment is credited in the FLEX mitigating strategies, it should meet the above storage requirements in addition to the 50.54(hh)(2) requirements.
9. Storage of debris removal equipment (if needed) should provide reasonably protection from the applicable external events such that it remains functional and deployable to clear obstructions from the pathway between the FLEX equipments storage location and its deployment location(s).
10. Deployment of the FLEX equipment or debris removal equipment from storage locations should not depend on offsite power or onsite emergency ac power (e.g., to operate roll up doors, lifts, elevators, etc.).

7.0 CONCLUSION

The APR1400 strategy and design enhancement along with regulatory recommendations and regulatory requirements related to lessons learned from the accident at Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant after the 2011 Great Tohoku Earthquake on March 11, 2011 are described in this Technical Report. The impact assessments to the current APR1400 DCD are prepared. Multiple design enhancements are identified and have been implemented with the objective to enhance mitigation capability to beyond-design-basis external events. The design enhancements described in this report increase the APR1400 reliability for safety against the BDBEE. The operational and programmatic aspects of responding to the BDBEE CCW will be addressed by COL applicants prior to the initial fuel loading.

Non-Proprietary Evaluations and Design Enhancements to Incorporate Lessons Learned from Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Accident APR1400-E-P-NR-14005-NP, Rev. 2 APPENDIX.A Supporting Analysis Results for the Operational Strategy for Core Cooling A.1 Introduction This appendix provides the supporting analyses and their results for the APR1400 core cooling capability to cope with the BDBEE, ELAP concurrent with LUHS. Specifically, the coping capability is evaluated according to the FLEX strategies described in the Subsection 5.1.2.3, for the following operation modes:

  • Full-power operation
  • Low-power operations and shutdown conditions with SGs available A.2 Computer Code A best-estimate computer code, named RELAP5/Mod 3.3, is used for the supporting analyses for the APR1400 operational strategy for core cooling. The RELAP5 code was approved by the NRC and has been widely used for the safety analysis of nuclear power plants of all over the world. The RELAP5 code is based on a non-equilibrium separated two-phase flow model and has other additional models to properly describe the thermal-hydraulic behavior of components of reactor systems including heat conduction in the core and reactor coolant system, reactor kinetics, control systems and trips.

A.3 Acceptance Criteria The following acceptance criteria based on NEI 12-06, Section 3.2.1 are applied to the supporting analysis for the operational strategy for core cooling during the ELAP concurrent with LUHS.

  • Core cooling is maintained
  • No fuel failures The fulfillment of these criteria is determined by evaluating RCS key parameters such as RCS and SG pressures, RCS temperature, collapsed levels in reactor vessel, core, and SG.

A.4 Analysis Condition and Assumption The following analysis conditions and assumptions are selected according to the requirements of NEI 12-06, Section 3.2.1.

  • The full-power operation is selected as a representative case for setting up the APR1400 FLEX strategy of the modes 1 through 4 and mode 5 operation with SGs available.
  • The plant is assumed to operate at 100 percent power with no uncertainty for system parameters.

The initiating event is assumed to be an ELAP concurrent with LUHS.

  • The reactor is assumed to be tripped automatically by the low reactor coolant pump speed trip of the RPS since the RCPs could not be provided with ac power.
  • The MSSVs are assumed to actuate automatically when the SG pressure exceeds the MSSV setpoints.

  • RCP seal leakage is assumed to be 94.64 L/min (25 gpm) per RCP at the initial RCS pressure of 2

158.19 kg/cm A (2,250 psia) and naturally reduce as the RCS pressure decreases during the event. This causes loss of RCS inventory, which should be adequately maintained for preventing core uncovery leading to core failure.

  • The TDAFWPs are assumed to start automatically on receipt of AFAS signal.
  • The decay heat conditions of ANSI/ANS-5.1-1979 are used for best-estimate simulation of the FLEX strategy.
  • Operator is assumed to cool down the RCS by controlling MSADVs with a rate of 27.78 °C/hour (50 °F/hour) from 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> following the BDBEE.
  • The auxiliary charging pump (ACP) is assumed to supply borated water at the constant value of 166.56 L/min (44 gpm) for RCS makeup after 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> following the event. If ACP is unavailable, a primary high-head FLEX pump is used for providing adequate water to maintain RCS inventory.
  • Four safety injection tanks (SITs) inject 4,000 ppm borated water into the RCS when the RCS pressure decreases below the setpoints as designed.
  • Normal feedwater flow to SGs is assumed to stop at the initiation of the BDBEE. Auxiliary feedwater flow supplies water to SGs and is controlled to maintain SG level within the control band of 25 percent to 40 percent A.5 Analysis Results A.5.1 Full-Power Operation The APR1400 core cooling capability under the BDBEE, ELAP concurrent with LUHS, is analyzed using RELAP5/Mod 3.3 code, according to the full-power operational strategy consisting of the following three phases as described in Subsection 5.1.2.3.1.
  • Phase 1: 0 to 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />
  • Phase 2: 8 to 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />
  • Phase 3: Indefinite time period following Phase 2 For the full-power operation case, two types of core cooling strategies, which are basic operational strategy and contingency plan, are analyzed. In the basic strategy, the RCS is cooled down to hot shutdown using both installed plant equipment, such as TDAFWP and ACP, and FLEX equipment such as the mobile GTG. The contingency plan is prepared in case installed plant equipment is inoperable even after connection of mobile ac power. In this case, RCS is cooled down to cold shutdown using the secondary side FLEX pump. RCS makeup is carried out by the primary side high-head FLEX pump. Table A-1 summarizes the sequence of events during the ELAP/LUHS coping operation.

A.5.1.1 Core Cooling - Full-Power Operation Basic Strategy of RCS Cooldown (Using Installed Pumps)

Figures A-1 through A-9 show the primary and secondary thermal-hydraulic behaviors for the basic KEPCO & KHNP A2

Non-Proprietary Evaluations and Design Enhancements to Incorporate Lessons Learned from Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Accident APR1400-E-P-NR-14005-NP, Rev. 2 strategy using installed equipment.

Figure A-1 shows RCS and SG pressures and Figure A-2 shows RCS temperatures during the accident.

These figures demonstrate the NCC operation of each step such as maintaining hot standby conditions, cooling down the RCS, and maintaining hot shutdown conditions. While RCS pressure decreases by secondary cooldown, the SIT starts to inject borated water when the RCS pressure reaches to the SIT actuation setpoint (Figure A-3). The ACP flow starts at 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> when the mobile GTG is assumed to be connected, and the flow rate is well balanced with the RCP seal leakage in the hot shutdown period (Figures A-4 and A-5).

As shown in Figure A-6, PZR level decreases and stays at an empty state for a long time. This is because the liquid volume of RCS decreases due to the RCP seal leakage and shrinkage of RCS inventory.

However, the core and downcomer water level is recovered after SIT flow injection, and then stabilized after 32 hours3.703704e-4 days <br />0.00889 hours <br />5.291005e-5 weeks <br />1.2176e-5 months <br /> when the ACP flow becomes balanced with the RCP seal leakage.

Because of the RCS inventory makeup by SIT and ACP, the decreased core level is also restored, as shown in Figure A-7. Even though the core level reduces a little during the cooldown period, it still covers the active core. This means that the fuel is not uncovered and fuel integrity is preserved. The cladding temperature of the active core shown in Figure A-8 also shows that the fuel integrity is maintained during the accident.

Figure A-9 shows MSSV and MSADV flows during the accident. The MSSV relieves the steam generated by the decay heat of the core from SG and thus maintains the SG pressure at a constant value during the hot standby condition, whereas the MSADV is used for cooling the RCS and maintaining it at hot shutdown condition.

3 As shown in Figure A-10, the total mass of AFW flow provided during the 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> is about 2,513.51 m (664,000 gal), which is still below the design value of the two AFWSTs inventory.

The AFWST and the raw water tank (RWT) can be used as onsite water sources to feed the SGs, and the number of onsite water sources is sufficient for NCC operation during Phases 1 and 2.

A.5.1.2 Core Cooling - Full-Power Operation Contingency Plan (Using FLEX Pumps)

For the contingency plan using FLEX equipment, the analysis results are provided in Figures A-11 through A-20.

Figure A-11 shows RCS and SG pressures and Figure A-12 shows RCS temperatures during the accident.

These figures demonstrate the coping operation of each step of NCC operation for maintaining hot standby condition, cooling down the RCS to hot shutdown condition, further cooldown to the SG pressure 2

of 1.03 kg/cm A (14.7 psia), and maintaining the RCS at cold shutdown.

During the RCS cooldown operation, the system pressure decreases due to RCP seal leak and shrinkage.

SIT starts to inject borated water when the RCS pressure reaches the SIT actuation setpoint (Figure A-13).

The high-head primary FLEX pump makes up the RCS inventory at the flow rate of 189.27 L/min (50 gpm) from 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> following the event, and the makeup flow rate becomes balanced with the RCP seal leakage in the cold shutdown period (Figures A-14 and A-15). The PZR level starts to increase at around 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> due to the makeup flow from the FLEX pump, and becomes stabilized at around 17 hours1.967593e-4 days <br />0.00472 hours <br />2.810847e-5 weeks <br />6.4685e-6 months <br /> when the FLEX pump flow is balanced with the RCP seal leakage, as shown in Figure A-16.

Because of the RCS inventory makeup from SIT and the FLEX pump, the decreased core level is also restored, as shown in Figure A-17. The core is not uncovered and fuel integrity is preserved. The cladding KEPCO & KHNP A3

Non-Proprietary Evaluations and Design Enhancements to Incorporate Lessons Learned from Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Accident APR1400-E-P-NR-14005-NP, Rev. 2 temperature of the active core shown in Figure A-18 also shows that the fuel integrity is maintained during the event.

Figure A-19 shows MSSV and MSADV flow during the event. The MSSV relieves the steam generated by the decay heat of core and thus maintains the SG pressure at a constant value during the hot standby conditions, whereas the MSADV is used for cooling the RCS and maintaining the SG pressure at 1.03 2

kg/cm A (14.7 psia).

3 Figure A-20 shows that the total mass of AFW flow supplied during the 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> is about 2,839 m (750,000 gal), which is still below the design value of the two AFWSTs inventory.

Therefore, it is concluded that the APR1400 operational strategy for core cooling under simultaneous ELAP and LUHS provides reasonable assurance the appropriate core cooling and fuel integrity during the BDBEE.

The plant can be maintained at hot standby condition without operator action during Phase 1 (0 to 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> following the BDBEE). During the phase 2 (8 to 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />), the plant can be cooled down to hot shutdown or cold shutdown state depending on the type of coping strategy.

The safe shutdown state is maintained with onsite water for feeding SGs and fuel for GTGs until the end of Phase 2, and it is also continued by the water source and fuel supplied from offsite resources in Phase 3.

A.5.1.3 Subcriticality - Full-Power Operation FLEX Strategy During the RCS cooldown by NCC, subcriticality of the core is maintained by not only the reactor scram but also the injection of borated water by the ACP, the primary FLEX pump, and SIT flow. The subcriticality analysis is performed for the contingency plan among the above two types of full-power operation FLEX strategy. The reason is that this case is more conservative than the other case, because the RCS is further cooled down in the contingency plan. Figure A-21 shows that the borated water injection flow provides negative reactivity sufficient to maintain the core at subcriticality in spite of the positive reactivity feedback due to the moderator temperature coefficient (MTC) and Doppler coefficient.

Figure A-22 shows the reactivity behavior in the case of no RCP leakage, which is a worse condition with respect to criticality. Even in this case, the borated water injection flow also provides negative reactivity sufficient to maintain the core at subcriticality.

A.5.2 Lower-Power Operation and Shutdown Conditions with SGs Available The APR1400 FLEX strategies and their coping capabilities against ELAP concurrent with LUHS during low-power operations and shutdown conditions are described for the following two categories of operation modes.

  • Operation mode 1 through 3 with SGs available
  • Operation mode 4 and mode 5 with SGs available A.5.2.1 Coping Capability - Mode 1 through Mode 3 The NCC analysis result for ELAP and LUHS at full power is still valid for the mode 1 through 3 operations, i.e., lower-power operation, startup, and hot standby conditions, because it covers various states of the plant including full-power operation through hot shutdown condition. Therefore, the same FLEX strategy as in the full-power operation can be also applied to the mode 1 through mode 3 KEPCO & KHNP A4

Non-Proprietary Evaluations and Design Enhancements to Incorporate Lessons Learned from Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Accident APR1400-E-P-NR-14005-NP, Rev. 2 operations.

A.5.2.2 Coping Capability - Mode 4 and Mode 5 with SGs Available In the operation mode 4 and 5 with SGs available, the SCS normally maintains the RCS between 176.67 °C(350 °F) (hot shutdown) and 54.44 °C (130 °F ) (cold shutdown), while the SGs are still available. If the event of ELAP concurrent with LUHS occurs during these operation modes, the RCS is heated up and pressurized due to loss of residual heat removal function of the SCS.

If the RCS temperature is initially below the maximum RCS temperature requiring the LTOP, i.e.,

136.11 °C (277 °F), the RCS pressure can be maintained below the LTOP limiting pressure of 43.94 2 2 kg/cm A (625 psia) (20 percent of the RCS hydraulic test pressure of 219.71 kg/cm A [3,125 psia]),

because the LTOP relief valve installed in the SCS automatically opens at the opening setpoint (38.30 2

kg/cm A [530 psig]).

After the RCS temperature increases to the LTOP disable temperature (136.11 °C [277 °F]), the operator tries to isolate the RCS from the SCS, by manually closing the SCS isolation valves. The operator action for isolation of the SCS is finished before the RCS temperature exceeds the SCS entry temperature (176.67 °C [350 °F]). After that, the RCS overpressurization can be protected by POSRVs.

After closing the SCS isolation valves, the RCS temperature and pressure continue to increase, and eventually the RCS returns to the hot standby condition. Then, the SG side feed-and-bleed operation can start cooling down the RCS, as described for the baseline cooling capability for ELAP and LUHS at full-power operation. Consequently, the full-power FLEX strategy can be also applied after the plant returns to hot standby condition.

Supporting analysis to confirm the above scenario has been performed under the assumption that the RCS has been cooled down to the refueling temperature of 54.44 °C (130 °F ), while RCS pressure is 2

kept at the SCS entry pressure of 31.64 kg/cm A (450 psia). The initial RCS pressure and temperature are selected as a conservative combination in the cold shutdown operation range with respect to LTOP.

The initial pressurizer level is 30 percent, which is the normal operating level during the low-mode operation.

Figure A-23 and A-24 show the analysis result for the RCS pressure and temperature during the event, respectively. After the shutdown cooling pump (SCP) stops at time zero, RCS pressure and temperature increase due to loss of residual heal removal function of SCS. However, the increasing rate of the RCS pressure becomes much slower at around 30 minutes, when the LTOP valve opens to mitigate the low-temperature overpressurization (Figure A-25). On the other hand, RCS temperature continues to increase, and reaches the LTOP disable temperature of 136.11 °C(277 °F) at around 2.3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br />. It can be seen that 2

RCS pressure is maintained well below the LTOP limiting pressure of 43.94 kg/cm A (625 psia) until the RCS temperature reaches the LTOP disable temperature. RCS pressure increases rapidly again at around 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> when the operator is assumed to isolate the SCS from the RCS.

Based on the analysis result, it is concluded that the RCS overpressurization is well protected by the LTOP valve installed in the SCS, until the SCS is isolated by the operator after the RCS temperature exceeds the LTOP disable temperature. The RCS returns to the hot standby condition (above 176.67 °C

[350 °F]) at around 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> following the event, so that the operator can isolate the SCS from the RCS and conduct the cooldown operation according to the full-power FLEX strategy. Although the operator action for RCS cooldown is delayed, the RCS overpressurization is successfully limited by the cyclic opening of POSRVs.

Non-Proprietary Evaluations and Design Enhancements to Incorporate Lessons Learned from Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Accident APR1400-E-P-NR-14005-NP, Rev. 2 APPENDIX.B Spent Fuel Pool Time to Boil and Makeup Analysis The APR1400 SFP conditions are analyzed for the BDBEE concurrent with LUHS.

B.1 Acceptance Criteria The following acceptance criteria based on NEI 12-06, Section 3.2.1 are applied to the supporting analysis for the operational strategy for SFP cooling during the ELAP:

  • Fuel in the SFP remains covered.

B.2 Key Assumptions The SFP time to boil and makeup analysis is performed using the following key assumptions and inputs:

  • During an ELAP event, spent fuel cooling function by the spent fuel pool cooling system (SFPCS) heat exchangers is lost. Heatup of the SFP and boiling can be credited to cool the spent fuel, provided the water level is maintained above the top of the spent fuel rack.
  • A conservative number of rack spaces are assumed with all rack spaces.
  • Heat losses from the SFP are conservatively neglected.
  • Three conditions analyzed for the SFP decay heat load are:

- SFP decay heat load during mode 1 to mode 4 without full core offload. This is defined as the decay heat generated by one refueling batch offloaded from core after 100 hours0.00116 days <br />0.0278 hours <br />1.653439e-4 weeks <br />3.805e-5 months <br /> following shutdown, plus the spent fuel assemblies accumulated from the previous refueling operations.

- SFP decay heat load during mode 5 and mode 6 without full core offload.

- SFP decay heat during mode 6 with full core offload (limiting case), which is defined as the decay heat generated by one full core offloaded after 100 hours0.00116 days <br />0.0278 hours <br />1.653439e-4 weeks <br />3.805e-5 months <br /> following shutdown, plus the spent fuel assemblies accumulated from the previous refueling operations.

  • Initial SFP temperature is assumed at the maximum as follows:

- SFP decay heat during mode 1 to mode 6 with full core not offloaded: 48.9 (120 °F)

- SFP decay heat during mode 6 with full core offload: 60 (140 °F)

  • Initial SFP water level is assumed at El 149 ft 0 in (elevation of SFP cleanup suction nozzle).
  • SFP inventory makeup starts when the water level reaches Level 2 defined in NEI 12-02 and shown in Figure B-1.
  • Water inventories 3 3

- The water inventory above top of fuel rack: 816.3 m (28,826 ft )

3 3

- Total SFP inventory: 816.3 m (28,826 ft )

  • Monitoring water level Based on Figure B-1, the following are the definitions of the water levels:

Level 1: Level adequate to support operation of the normal SFP cooling system Level 2: Level adequate to provide substantial radiation shielding for a person standing on the SFP operating floor Level 3: Level where fuel remains covered, but actions to implement makeup water addition should no longer be deferred B.3 Methodology The SFP time to boil and makeup analysis was performed to determine the bulk SFP heatup time and boiloff rate.

The SFP bulk heatup time is conservatively calculated using t =MCpT/Q, where, M (lbm) is the mass of water in the SFP.

Cp (Btu/lbm°F) is the specific heat.

T (°F) is the temperature rise.

t (hr) is the time to complete the temperature rise.

Q (Btu/hr) is the heat added to the SFP from the spent fuel stored in the pool.

The boiloff rate is calculated using: Boiloff Rate = Q / hfg, where, Q (Btu/hr) is the heat added to the SFP from the spent fuel stored in the pool.

hfg (Btu/lbm) is the latent heat of evaporation.

B.4 Evaluation Results The evaluation results for the SFP time to boil and makeup water analysis are summarized in Tables B-1 through B-3. Based on Tables B-1 and B-2, the following inference can be drawn:

  • For modes 1 to mode 6 with full core not offloaded, SFP boiling occurs approximately 5.4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> after an ELAP. As a result of boiling, SFP level reaches 3.05 m (10 ft) of water above the irradiated fuel assemblies in approximately 33.1 hours1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> after an ELAP. Within 33.1 hours1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />, Phase 2 actions should be initiated to provide makeup water to the SFP from the RWT using the portable pump.
  • For mode 6 with maximum SFP heat loads due to a full core offload, the time to boil is reduced to 2.0 hours0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br /> after an ELAP. As a result of boiling, SPF level reaches 3.05 m (10 ft) of water KEPCO & KHNP B2

  • In a postulated ELAP, the required SFP makeup flow rate to match the boiloff for modes 1 through 6 with core not offloaded is 237.7 L/m (62.79 gpm), and the SFP makeup flow rate for mode 6 with the full core offload is 493.2 L/min (130.3 gpm).
