NuScale Nonproprietary Expert Panel Findings
- Review group authored a final report
- No major concerns or objections
- Minor points that were raised include
>> NuScale multi-module risk approach represents an important "first step" in advancing the state-of-the-art
>> There are more detailed and sophisticated HRA methods available compared to what was done in the NuScale PRA
>> The terms CDF and LRF are tied to current large reactors and use of these terms in the NuScale design may be misleading 9

NuScale Nonproprietary Independent Self Assessment
- External review of the NuScale PRA self-assessment against the high level and supporting requirements of the ASME PRA Standard
- In general, there was agreement, and in fact, in some cases, a higher capability category than identified was believed to be met. However, there were also some instances of a lack of concurrence, and possible enhancements were provided
- NuScale was able to incorporate those recommendations into the design certification PRA 10 PM-0519-65372 Revision: O Copyright 2019 by NuScale Power, LLC.

NuScale Nonproprietary Seismic Risk Evaluation
- NuScale performed a PRA-based seismic margin assessment (SMA)
- Design-specific fragility calculations were performed for SSCs that contribute to the seismic margin
- Consulted with Simpson, Gumpertz & Heger, Rizzo Associates, and Stevenson and Associates
- Generic capacities with design-specific response factors were used for other SSCs
- DC/COL-ISG-020 seismic margin goal: high confidence of low probability of failure (HCLPF) value of 1.67 times the certified seismic design response spectra (CSDRS)
- Corresponds to 0.84g peak ground acceleration (PGA) 28 PM-0519-65372 Revision: 0 Copyright 2019 by NuScale Power, LLC.

NuScale Nonproprietary SMA Methodology
- PRA-based SMA uses internal event logic, seismically-induced initiators, and maps seismic failures to random failures
- HCLPF: high confidence (95o/o) of low probability (5%) of failure
- HCLPF can also be interpreted as a 1°/o probability of failure at the mean (or best-estimate) confidence level (i.e., at the HCLPF PGA there is a 1% probability of core damage)
- Evaluated at the sequence level using min-max criteria
- Seismic margin determined by those seismic failures that would result in a conditional core damage probability of greater than 1°/o
- Structural fragilities evaluated for those SSCs that contact the module, are located above the module, or where collapse might damage the module (which is assumed to result in core damage) 29 PM-0519-65372 Revision: O Copyright 2019 by NuScale Power, LLC.

NuScale Nonproprietary Dropped Module Evaluation
- Drop probability developed based on conceptual reactor building crane design
- Core damage conservatively assumed for dropped module
- For a horizontal module the core partially uncovers
- Containment assumed to fail in a manner that prevents pool water incursion but allows radionuclide release
- Maximum radiological release much less than large release due to pool scrubbing effect
- Up to two operating modules theoretically could be struck by free-falling module, potentially inducing LOCA or transient in struck module 35 PM-0519-65372 Revision: 0 Copyright 2019 by NuScale Power, LLC.

NuScale Nonproprietary Postulated Dropped Module Impacts
- Potential damage to the decay heat removal system (DHRS) because the heat exchangers are located external to the containment and face central pool channel
- Likelihood is an insignificant contributor to the modeled frequency of secondary side line break initiating event
- Potential damage to the chemical and volume control system (CVCS) piping where the piping penetrates the bay wall as a result of movement of the struck module
- Likelihood is an insignificant contributor to the modeled frequency of the eves pipe break outside containment initiating event
- Considering the probability of a load drop, the contribution of a potential module drop to the initiating event frequencies of an operating module is judged to be negligible both in absolute terms and in comparison to the frequency of a randomly occurring initiating events 36 PM-0519-65372 Revision: O Copyright 2019 by NuScale Power, LLC.

NuScale Nonproprietary Severe Accident Phenomena CNV integrity not challenged by severe accident phenomena
- In-vessel fuel-coolant interactions (FCI) (i.e., steam explosion) are not sufficiently energetic to induce alpha mode failure due to factors including:
- Small core size, low debris temperatures, small drop height, shallow pool, relatively high system pressure
- Containment overpressure does not occur
- High pressure steel CNV designed for most limiting LOCA blowdown which exceeds maximum severe accident pressures
- Submergence of CNV in UHS provides highly effective pressure suppression

NuScale Nonproprietary Consideration of Uncertainty

- High pressure melt ejection (leading to direct containment heating) does not occur because there is no driving pressure differential
- Energetic ex-vessel FCI not likely for similar reasons as in-vessel FCI
- Debris relocated to CNV would be retained by CNV lower head
- Effective external cooling of CNV by reactor pool
- If lower CNV fails
- Pool scrubbing minimizes release
- If upper CNV fails
- Instantaneous release of entire airborne radionuclide inventory in module at time of postulated CNV failure would not constitute a large release 51 PM-0519-65372 Revision: a Copyright 2019 by NuScale Power, LLC.
