VC Summer NFPA 805 LAR Pre-Application Meeting March 15, 2018 1

Agenda

  • Introduction
  • Meeting Purpose
  • Background
  • 2018 LAR Submittal Schedule 2

Introduction - VC Summer Team

  • Wayne Stuart - General Manager, Engineering Services
  • Bruce Thompson - Manager, Nuclear Licensing
  • Jody Galloway - Supervisor, Design Engineering
  • Ken Leonelli - Supervisor, Nuclear Fuels & Analysis
  • Justin Bouknight - Engineer, Nuclear Licensing
  • Francisco Joglar - Consultant, JENSEN HUGHES
  • Andy Ratchford - Consultant, JENSEN HUGHES 3

Meeting Purpose

  • Discuss Background on NFPA 805 Transition and implementation challenges
  • Discuss scope of the 2018 LAR
  • Address comments and questions
  • Discuss the submittal schedule 4

Background

  • Transition License Conditions included completion of plant modifications by 12/31/15
  • Final Implementation Items for full compliance by 3/31/16
  • Implementation Item 22 included update of Fire PRA to reflect as-built modifications and implementation items 5

Background

  • Reviews in 2016 indicated that certain committed modifications had not been completed as described in the LAR/RAIs
  • Several self-identified Fire PRA and Fire Protection issues warranted updates and refinement
  • NRC inspection identified issues warranted an update
  • Ongoing industry Fire PRA treatments were in the approval stages and warranted inclusion in the Fire PRA 6

Background

  • Fire PRA model was updated and refined in 2016

- De-scoped modifications

- Self-identified issues addressed

- NRC identified issues addressed

- Update for industry Fire PRA treatments

  • Demonstrated transition change in risk is within RG 1.174 criteria
  • De-scoped modifications require LAR submittal 7

2018 LAR Goal

  • Obtain review and approval of de-scoped modifications
  • Reconcile completion of the Transition License Condition
  • Attain approval for a new performance-based method for treatment of thermal insulation materials 8

2018 LAR Scope

  • Apply guidance from NRC letter to NEI dated 3/2/16 for modification changes
  • Option B was chosen since changes to PRA approaches have been included
  • Incorporate current regulatory methods

- NUREG-2180 for new treatment of incipient detection

- NUREG-2169 for new ignition frequencies

- NUREG-2178 for new electrical cabinet HRRs 9

2018 LAR Scope 3/2/16 NRC Letter to NEI, Option B

  • Summary of modification changes
  • Summary of PRA model changes
  • Demonstration of Acceptability of
  • New LAR Attachments Methods

- Att. M - License Condition

- Att. S - Modifications Att. C & G)

- Att. W - Fire PRA Fire Area Change in

  • New/Removed VFDRs and Risk Recovery Actions
  • Defense-in-Depth, Safety Margin 10

2018 LAR Scope

  • Specifics planned for inclusion in the 2018 LAR:

- 10 CFR 50.48(c)(2)(vii) for Thermal Insulation Materials

- Fire Door - NRC Inspection Issue (B-1 Table Revision)

- RCP Lube Oil Collection System - NRC Inspection Issue 11

2018 LAR Scope - Modification Changes

  • Original LAR Attachment S provided very general description of committed plant modifications
  • RAI responses provided more detail with respect to cable numbers, protection methods, related VFDRs, etc.
  • Over course of transition activities, certain modification details were de-scoped using risk-informed methods without proper NRC approval 12

LAR Scope - Modification Changes 13

2016 Fire PRA Updates and Refinements

  • Updated the ignition frequency calculations due to the addition of new ignition sources to selected fire zones
  • Updated the scenario target sets due to cable re-routes or the construction of electrical raceway fire barrier systems
  • Detailed fire modeling of selected ignition sources
  • Screening of multi compartment scenarios using detailed fire modeling techniques
  • Refinement to the internal events model including the RCP seal LOCA model 14

2016 Fire PRA Updates and Refinements

  • Revised use of QRecover rules and FRANX excluded gates features
  • Additional refinement in MCR abandonment model to provide more realistic abandonment and non-abandonment treatment
  • Logic correction and refined treatment of fire-induced RWST draindown MSO scenario
  • More detailed treatment of containment isolation paths
  • Refinements in HRA dependency analysis
  • More explicit modeling of disconnect switches used for electrical isolation 15

2018 LAR Scope - PRA Changes

  • NUREG-2180 - Incipient Detection - Change from approved FAQ 08-0046 approach to new approach results in significant change in quantified risk. Additional refinements needed to attain realism.
  • NUREG-2169 - Ignition Frequencies - Change to implement new values results in significant change in quantified risk. Additional refinements needed to attain realism.
  • NUREG-2178 - Electrical Cabinet HRRs. Application has provided more realistic treatment.

16

2018 LAR Scope - Other PRA Topics

  • Changes to Internal Events and Other External Event PRA models since NFPA 805 SE
  • Current Status of Seismic PRA

- Submittal on track for September 2018

  • Internal Events/Internal Flooding Peer Review 17

2018 LAR Scope - Other Changes

  • Changes to the NSCA (e.g., VFDRs and Recovery Actions) will be included in the 2018 LAR:

- Fire Areas crediting approved Performance-Based Fire Modeling (NFPA 805 Section 4.2.4.1) now assessed using approved Fire Risk Evaluation approach (NFPA 805 Section 4.2.4.2)

- Several additional Fire Areas credit local trip of RCP breakers

- Changes associated with completion of plant modifications

  • Clarification of items from 2017 NFPA 805 SE self-assessment 18

Submittal Schedule

  • LAR is planned for submittal by June 30, 2018 19
