50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 1.0 Purpose and Objective Following the accident at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant resulting from the March 11, 2011, Great Tohoku Earthquake and subsequent tsunami, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) established a Near Term Task Force (NTTF) to conduct a systematic review of NRC processes and regulations and to determine if the agency should make additional improvements to its regulatory system. The NTTF developed a set of recommendations intended to clarify and strengthen the regulatory framework for protection against natural phenomena. Subsequently, the NRC issued a 50.54(f) letter on March 12, 2012 [1], requesting information to assure that these recommendations are addressed by all U.S. nuclear power plants. The 50.54(f) letter requests that licensees and holders of construction permits under 10 CFR Part 50 reevaluate the seismic hazards at their sites against present-day NRC requirements and guidance.

A comparison between the reevaluated seismic hazard and the design basis for Columbia Generating Station (CGS) has been performed, in accordance with the guidance in Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) 1025287, Screening, Prioritization and Implementation Details (SPID) for the Resolution of Fukushima Near-Term Task Force Recommendation 2.1: Seismic [2], and previously submitted to NRC [3]. That comparison concluded that the ground motion response spectrum (GMRS), which was developed based on the reevaluated seismic hazard, exceeds the design basis seismic response spectrum in the 1 to 10 Hz range, and a seismic risk assessment is required. A seismic probabilistic risk assessment (SPRA) has been developed to perform the seismic risk assessment for CGS in response to the 50.54(f) letter, specifically item (8) in Enclosure 1 of the 50.54(f) letter.

This report describes the SPRA developed for CGS and provides the information requested in item (8)(B) of Enclosure 1 of the 50.54(f) letter and in Section 6.8 of the SPID. The SPRA model has been peer reviewed (as described in Appendix A) and found to be of appropriate scope and technical capability for use in assessing the seismic risk for CGS, identifying which structures, systems, and components (SSCs) are important to seismic risk, and describing plant-specific seismic issues and associated actions planned or taken in response to the 50.54(f) letter.

This report provides summary information regarding the SPRA as outlined in Section 2.

The level of detail provided in the report is intended to enable the NRC to understand the inputs and methods used, the evaluations performed, and the decisions made as a result of the insights gained from the CGS SPRA.

4. Identified plant-specific vulnerabilities and actions that are planned or taken.

Note that 50.54(f) letter Enclosure 1 paragraphs 1 through 6, regarding the seismic hazard evaluation reporting, also apply, but have been satisfied through the previously submitted CGS Seismic Hazard Submittal [3]. Further, 50.54(f) letter Enclosure 1 paragraph 9 requests information on the spent fuel pool. This information is being submitted separately.

Table 2-1 provides a cross-reference between the 50.54(f) reporting items noted above and the location in this report where the corresponding information is discussed.

The SPID [2] defines the principal parts of an SPRA, and the CGS SPRA has been developed and documented in accordance with the SPID. The main elements of the SPRA performed for CGS in response to the 50.54(f) Seismic letter correspond to those described in Section 6.1.1 of the SPID, that is:

  • Seismic hazard analysis
  • Seismic structure response and SSC fragility analysis

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 3.0 CGS Seismic Hazard and Plant Response Section 3 provides a high-level summary of the seismic hazard assessment for the CGS site. Detailed information regarding the CGS site hazard was provided to NRC in the seismic hazard information submitted to the NRC [3] in response to the NTTF 2.1 Seismic information request [1]. The response presented the probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) for the site and the development of the horizontal GMRS for the control point elevation for safety-related structures. The hazard submittal also describes additional results from the PSHA that are used in the quantification of the CGS SPRA.

The CGS site is located on the Hanford Department of Energy (DOE) Site in south-central Washington State. The site is a soil site consisting of approximately 525 feet of primarily granular sediments overlying the Saddle Mountains Basalt sequence. The granular sediments consist of approximately 45 feet of glacialfluvial gravels overlying a thick sequence of Pliocene sediments, which are designated as the Ringold formation. The Ringold formation consists of alternating layers of gravel-dominated sediments and fine-grained sediments that are variably cemented. Figure 3-1 shows the shear wave velocity profile developed for the suprabasalt sediments at the CGS site. The underlying Saddle Mountains Basalt sequence consists of alternating layers of flood basalts and sedimentary interbeds. Figure 3-2 shows the shear wave profiles developed for the Saddle Mountains Basalt sequence at the CGS site. The Saddle Mountains Basalt sequence in turn overlies the more massive Wanapum and Grande Ronde basalts. Additional details are provided in the NTTF 2.1 hazard submittal [3]. The control point for defining ground motions at the CGS site is the finished grade ground surface at elevation 441 feet.

3.1 Seismic Hazard Analysis The seismic hazard for the CGS was conducted in two stages. The first stage involved assessment of the hazard at a reference point at the top of the Wanapum basalt at a depth of approximately 1,300 feet below the ground surface at the CGS site. This hazard assessment was performed as part of the sitewide PSHA for the Hanford DOE site conducted by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) [7].

The second stage involved characterization of the dynamic response of the soils and rocks above the top of the Wanapum basalts to earthquake ground motions

[8], [9] and then convolving that response with the reference rock hazard to provide an assessment of the seismic hazard at the CGS control point, defined as the plant finished grade [10].

3.1.1 Seismic Hazard Analysis Methodology The PNNL seismic hazard assessment for reference rock at the CGS site was developed as part of the Hanford Sitewide PSHA. The PNNL study was conducted as a Senior Seismic Hazard Analysis Committee (SSHAC) Level 3 study following the guidance given in Budnitz [11] and in NRC Guidelines for SSHAC Level 3 and 4 Hazard studies [12]. The study identified and characterized the seismic sources in the region and developed ground motion models specific to characterization of motions at the top of the Wanapum basalt at the CGS site. The study produced Page 11 of 111

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 mean and fractile hazard curves for peak ground acceleration (PGA) and 5-percent damped spectral acceleration at frequencies of 50, 33.3, 25, 20, 13.3, 10, 6.67, 5, 3.33, 2.5, 2, 1.33, 1, 0.67, 0.5, 0.33, 0.2, 0.13, and 0.1 Hz for the reference rock location. In addition, characterization of the response spectra for earthquakes contributing to the hazard at the site was provided in the form of conditional mean spectra (CMS) for each of the above spectral frequencies and for 27 annual exceedance frequencies (AEFs) ranging from 10-2 to 10-7. Details of this assessment are provided in [7]. Figure 3-3 shows the uniform hazard response spectra (UHRS) developed by PNNL [7] for the top of Wanapum basalt horizon at the CGS site.

For the CGS SPRA, the plant-specific hazard at the control point was assessed by developing a probabilistic characterization of the response of the materials above the reference rock horizon used in [7] and convolving this response with the reference rock hazard following Approach 3 as described in McGuire [13] and Bazzurro [14]. The characterization of the dynamic properties of the CGS site is described in Calculation 25709-000-K0C-0000-00001 [8]. The properties are based on measurements made at the CGS and adjacent sites as part of development of the license application [15]. Figure 3-1 shows the shear wave velocity profile developed for the sediments overlying the Saddle Mountains Basalts by [8]. The characterization of shear modulus reduction (G/Gmax) and damping in these sediments followed the recommendations given in Appendix B of [2].

The characterization of the dynamic properties of the Saddle Mountains Basalts and sedimentary interbeds was provided by [7]. Two alternatives were developed for the shear wave velocities in the basalts (Figure 3-2). Associated damping ratios for the basalts were assessed based on estimates of shallow crustal damping (kappa) and the basalts were assumed to behave linearly under dynamic loading.

Shear modulus reduction and damping relationships for the sedimentary interbeds were developed based on published relationships.

Bechtel Power [9] used the above characterization of the dynamic properties of the CGS site in combination with the characterization of response spectra for contributing earthquakes developed by [7] to develop a probabilistic representation of the amplification of the CGS site. Site amplification functions were developed for each of the 20 ground motion frequencies for which [7]

provided reference rock hazard results. Epistemic uncertainty in the amplification was characterized by developing amplification functions for the four alternative combinations of the two sets of G/Gmax and damping relationships for the suprabasalt sediments and the two alternative basalt velocity profiles.

Page 12 of 111

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 Using Approach 3 of [13] and [14], Bechtel Power [10] convolved the probabilistic site amplification functions with the reference rock hazard curves developed by

[7] to produce hazard curves for horizontal motion at the ground surface control point at the CGS site. The resulting hazard curves were interpolated to obtain response spectral accelerations corresponding to AEFs of 10-4 and 10-5. These values were used to form the 10-4 and 10-5 horizontal control point UHRS shown on Figure 3-4. The procedure given in Regulatory Guide 1.208 [16] was then used to develop the horizontal GMRS, which is also shown on Figure 3-4. Table 3-1 lists the control point 10-4 and 10-5 horizontal UHRS and horizontal GMRS. Vertical response spectra were developed as described in Subsection 3.1.4.

3.1.2 Seismic Hazard Analysis Technical Adequacy The reference rock hazard for the CGS site was developed as part of a SSHAC Level 3 study. The study was conducted under the continuous observation of a Participatory Peer Review Panel (PPRP) that reviewed both the technical adequacy of the assessments and the adherence to the SSHAC guidelines provided in [11]

and [12]. Documentation of the acceptance of the PPRP of the final report is provided in Appendix B of [7].

The CGS SPRA hazard methodology and analysis associated with the horizontal GMRS were submitted to the NRC [3], and found to be technically acceptable by NRC for application to the CGS SPRA [17].

The CGS seismic hazard analysis was also subjected to an independent peer review against all seismic hazard analysis (SHA) requirements for Capability Category II in the PRA Standard [4]. The peer review assessment and subsequent disposition of peer review findings are described in Appendix A.

3.1.3 Seismic Hazard Analysis Results and Insights This section provides the final seismic hazard results used in the CGS SPRA. The SPRA quantification for the CGS site was performed using the seismic hazard curve for 2.5 Hz spectral acceleration at the soil surface. Table 3-2 lists the mean and fractile hazard curves for 2.5 Hz and they are shown on Figure 3-5.

The evaluation of plant fragilities was based on the 10-5 UHRS for the ground surface control point. These spectra are shown on Figure 3-6 and are listed in Table 3-3.

PNNL [7] developed an extensive logic tree model to quantify the epistemic uncertainty in the assessment of the seismic hazard at the CGS site. The major contributors to the epistemic uncertainty in high frequency motions (e.g. PGA and 10 Hz pseudo spectral acceleration (PSA)) are the components of the ground motion characterization model for crustal earthquakes, principally the adjustments to the Wanapum reference site conditions (Vs-kappa adjustments),

the scaling of the median models, and the value of aleatory variability. The largest contributions to epistemic uncertainty from seismic source characterization are Page 13 of 111

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 uncertainty in the b-value of the truncated exponential model fit to the seismicity and uncertainty in the style of faulting for adjacent fault-specific sources. For low frequency motions (e.g. 1 Hz PSA), the contribution from uncertainty in the Vs-kappa adjustments is replaced by uncertainty in the anelastic attenuation rate for ground motions from large, distant earthquakes occurring on the Cascadia subduction zone and uncertainty in maximum magnitude becomes a significant contributor to the overall uncertainty in the hazard.

Sensitivity analyses presented in the site response analysis [9] indicate that the epistemic uncertainty in the Saddle Mountains Basalt sequence shear wave velocities and in the G/Gmax and damping relationships for the suprabasalt sediments each produce a variation of approximately 5 percent in the spectral acceleration at 2.5 Hz. Sensitivity analyses presented in Calculation 2579-0000-K0C-0000-00004 [10] indicate that the assumption of the minimum level of site amplification has a significant impact on the GMRS and UHRS at frequencies above 10 Hz but has minimal impact at frequencies below 6 Hz.

3.1.4 Horizontal and Vertical 10-5 UHRS As discussed in Section 4, fragility analyses for the CGS were developed using the horizontal 10-5 UHRS. A mean vertical 10-5 response spectrum was developed by Sage Engineers [18] using the vertical to horizontal response spectral ratio methodology described in Gulerce [19]. The V/H ratios were assessed conditionally on the ground motion levels of the horizontal 10-5 UHRS relative to median motions for contributing earthquake scenarios. Figure 3-6 shows the vertical and horizontal 10-5 spectra. The horizontal 10-5 UHRS, the V/H ratios and the vertical 10-5 spectrum are listed in Table 3-3. V/H ratios were also developed for the 10-4 mean hazard level by [18]. A vertical GMRS was not developed because the GMRS was not used for fragility evaluations. The control point for seismic input was taken at the soil surface for all structures.

damping) 4.0 Determination of Seismic Fragilities for the SPRA This section provides a summary of the process for identifying and developing fragilities for SSCs that participate in the plant response to a seismic event for the CGS SPRA. The subsections provide brief summaries of these elements.

4.1 Seismic Equipment List For the CGS SPRA, a seismic equipment list (SEL) was developed that includes those SSCs that are important to achieving safe shutdown following a seismic event, and to mitigating radioactivity release if core damage occurs, and that are included in the SPRA model. The CGS SPRA SEL was developed using guidance provided by the SPRA Implementation Guide [20].

Page 25 of 111

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 4.1.1 SEL Development The CGS FPIE PRA and individual plant examination for external events (IPEEE) evaluation, including an SPRA that was developed for the IPEEE, along with the associated documents and models, provided inputs to the SEL development. This information was used in conjunction with other plant documents such as the CGS master equipment list (MEL), plant systems descriptions, piping and instrumentation drawings (P&IDs), and electrical schematic drawings to develop the SEL [21] for use in the SPRA.

SEL SSCs were selected based on consideration of the initiating events and consequential events that could occur as a result of seismic events, the safety functions that must be fulfilled to respond to these initiating events, and the frontline and support systems that are credited in the SPRA to meet each function for core damage and large early release accident sequences.

The safety functions that would be required to respond to initiating events identified above were determined based on EPRI NP6041-SL [22] and NUREG 1407 [23]. These safety functions are:

  • Reactivity control,
  • Containment isolation and integrity.

A review of all plant systems was performed for applicability to the SEL. The frontline systems that are credited in the SPRA to meet each function for core damage and large early release accident sequences are listed in Table 4.1-1.

Support systems modeled in the SPRA include the following:

  • Emergency ac power (including ac distribution, fixed diesel generators, and portable diverse and flexible mitigation strategies (FLEX) diesel generators),
  • 125 V and 250 V dc power,
  • Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) (reactor building recirculation air, radwaste building mixed air, diesel generator building mixed air, SW pump house recirculation air), and
  • Pneumatic supplies (containment instrument air, hardened containment vent (HCV) air supply).

For each applicable system in the SEL, the following steps were followed in the order presented to identify the appropriate SSCs to be included in the SEL from the internal events PRA, and IPEEE safe shutdown equipment list (SSEL):

1. The CGS MEL [24] was used as a starting point. The SSCs included in the Internal Events PRA were identified and marked in the MEL. This included documenting the applicable basic event(s) associated with each of the SSCs included in the internal events PRA.
2. The IPEEE SSEL was reviewed for applicability of SSEL SSCs to the SPRA SEL.

After reviewing the MEL and crosschecking against the IPEEE SSEL, the following plant information sources were used to identify any additional SSCs that should be added to the SEL:

Page 27 of 111

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0

  • Electrical one-line diagrams,
  • System notebooks for the internal events PRA, and
  • CGS systems descriptions.

SSCs were added to include equipment applicable to the SPRA, but not modeled explicitly by the FPIE PRA. These SSCs included:

  • Structures,
  • Cable trays,
  • Sources of seismic-induced fire,
  • Sources of seismic-induced flood,
  • Piping,
  • Instrumentation utilized to perform operator actions credited by the SPRA, and,
  • Seismic II/I interaction concerns, that is, non-safety related equipment that could interact with and cause damage to safety-related SSCs.

The SEL includes the following structures:

  • Diesel generator building (DGB),
  • SW pump houses,
  • Radwaste / control building (RWCB),
  • Service building,
  • Turbine building (TB),
  • Diesel generator (DG) fresh air intakes,
  • Reactor building (RB),
  • SW cable tunnels,
  • Condensate storage tanks (CSTs).

SSCs were added to the SEL that can cause or contribute to initiating events. The list of plant-specific initiating events is provided in Subsection 5.1.2 The SEL includes NSSS components and other SSCs required for containment integrity.

The SEL excludes systems requiring offsite power given the assumption that offsite power is lost due to a seismic event.

The SEL excludes high seismic capacity SSCs:

  • Manual valves and dampers which are not required to change state, Page 28 of 111

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0

  • Flow elements,
  • Flow glasses,
  • Push buttons,
  • Pressure elements,
  • Position transmitters,
  • Pressure transmitters (not for chatter, but for functionality after),
  • Pressure transducers (not for chatter, but for functionality after),
  • Temperature elements,
  • Differential temperature transmitters (not for chatter, but for functionality after),
  • Temperature switches (not for chatter, but for functionality after),
  • Temperature transmitters (not for chatter, but for functionality after),
  • Small relief valves,
  • Small passive in-line filters that are supported only by the piping or ducting,
  • Hand switches, and
  • Heat tracing.

The final SEL was documented for the SPRA [21]. The resulting SEL consists of about 1200 SSC entries. The SEL was consolidated from the approximately 1300 SSCs walked down to account for components identified to be rule-of-the-box as well as items identified to be not applicable to the SPRA upon inspection.

4.1.2 Contact Chatter Evaluation During a seismic event, vibratory ground motion can cause electrical contact devices (ECDs), such as relays, to chatter. The chattering of ECDs potentially can result in spurious signals to equipment. Most contact chatter is either acceptable (does not impact the associated equipment), is self-correcting, or can be recovered by operator action. An extensive contact chatter evaluation [25] was performed for the CGS SPRA, in accordance with SPID Section 6.4.2 [2], and the ASME/ANS PRA Standard [4]. The evaluation screened most contact chatter scenarios from further evaluation based on no impact to component function.

The 211 ECDs that were not screened by the chatter evaluation are listed in Table 4.1-2, along with their functions and dispositions in the SPRA with respect to modeling of seismic fragilities and operator actions.

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 4.2 Walkdown Approach This section provides a summary of the methodology and scope of the seismic walkdowns performed for the SPRA. Walkdowns were performed by personnel with appropriate qualifications as defined in the SPID. Walkdowns of those SSCs included on the seismic equipment list were performed as part of the development of the SEL, and to assess the as-installed condition of these SSCs for use in determining their seismic capacity and performing initial screening.

Several seismic walkdowns were performed for CGS in the past to support seismic evaluations, including the Individual Plant Examination of External Events (IPEEE)

[26], NTTF 2.3: Seismic [27], and the Expedited Seismic Evaluation Program (ESEP)

[28]. New walkdowns were performed for all SSCs on the CGS SPRA SEL. Available documentation from the prior walkdowns was consulted to supplement the data collected during the SPRA walkdowns. The prior walkdown information was used to inform the walkdown planning. The NTTF 2.3: Seismic and ESEP walkdown photographs and reports were used to the extent available to review items that were not accessible during the SPRA walkdowns (e.g., to evaluate the mounting of internals inside electrical cabinets that could not be opened during the SPRA walkdown).

The objectives of the SPRA seismic walkdown included the following:

  • Collect information that may assist the systems analyst in deciding whether to add or remove SSCs from the SEL.
  • Observe and document the current as-built condition of SSCs included on the SEL.
  • Assess whether each SSC satisfies the requirements of the EPRI NP-6041-SL [22] screening tables and assign a seismic capacity ranking: Rugged, High, Medium, or Low. These rankings assist the development of representative seismic fragilities to help identify and prioritize the risk-significant SSCs for detailed fragility evaluation, as discussed in Section 2 of the seismic walkdown report [29].
  • Identify realistic failure modes (e.g., functionality, structural integrity, or anchorage failure) of the SEL components, and identify further information (drawings, design analysis reports, and / or seismic qualification reports) that may be required for their fragility evaluation.
  • Collect key data such as dimensions, materials, physical condition, and configuration that may be required in future fragility evaluations.
  • Identify conditions or configurations that could potentially have an influence on the seismic fragility of an SSC.
  • Identify SSCs within each equipment class that are the same or similar to other SSCs. Similarity information will be used as basis for bounding case analyses. It may also be used by the systems analyst in consultation with Page 37 of 111

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 the fragility analysts to inform decisions and sensitivity studies to address correlation in the systems modeling effort. The seismic plant response modeling and risk quantification documentation address correlation assumptions and sensitivities based on the walkdown observations and the fragility evaluations.

  • Identify SSCs that are not required for safe shutdown but whose structural failure or deformations may adversely influence nearby SEL items or undermine pathways required for operator actions; this includes review for seismic spatial (i.e., II/I) interaction, seismic-induced fire, seismic-induced flood concerns, and masonry walls.
  • Observe and record seismic deficiencies.

Walkdowns were performed in accordance with guidance in SPID Table 6.5 and the associated requirements in the PRA Standard. Additional walkdown criteria were developed in accordance with EPRI NP-6041-SL [22]. Seismic capacity rankings of Rugged, High, Medium, and Low were developed as described in Section 2 of [29] to inform the development of preliminary fragilities for importance ranking. EPRI NP-6041-SL states that the seismic review team (SRT) should review a sample from each group of similar SEL items in full detail (i.e., full scope walkdown) and review the remaining reasonably accessible SEL items using a walk-by to confirm similarity and record any relevant differences in configuration. The SRT members judged items to be similar based on equipment construction, dimensions, seismic qualification requirements, anchorage type, and configuration. In a full scope walkdown, the SRT collected detailed notes on the equipment configuration and performed a detailed review against the criteria and caveats from Appendix F to EPRI NP-6041-SL [22]. The SRT also recorded photographs, measurements, sketches, and any other data that can be used to inform the seismic fragility evaluations. One lead item (or a sample of similar items) was reviewed using a full scope walkdown. Other similar components were reviewed briefly to confirm similarity with the lead items and to check for anomalies in installation and / or dissimilar spatial interaction concerns.

The walkdown effort was conducted during three primary walkdown periods, plus limited-scope supplemental walkdowns, as follows:

  • During three two-week periods from 31 October 2016 through 11 November 2016, 3 April 2017 through 14 April 2017, and 22 May 2017 through 2 June 2017. These walkdowns covered all items on the then-current SEL. The last walkdown coincided with a plant maintenance outage and included walkdown of SEL items inside Containment.
  • On 13 September 2017, 18 January 2018, and 28 February 2019. These supplemental walkdowns were performed to examine specific details, e.g.,

items added to the SEL and internals of cabinets that could not be opened during previous walkdowns.

Page 38 of 111

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 4.2.1 Significant Walkdown Results and Insights Consistent with the guidance from EPRI NP-6041-SL [22], no significant adverse findings were noted during the CGS seismic walkdowns. The SSCs on the SEL were observed to be of generally good seismic design, construction, anchorage, and maintenance. They were also observed to be largely free of significant seismic interaction concerns and obvious signs of degradation or corrosion. A few adverse seismic interaction conditions primarily affecting chatter-sensitive components were observed, some of which were resolved by CGS and the rest were considered in the seismic fragility evaluation.

Of the nearly 1,300 individual components walked down, nearly all were ranked Rugged, High, or Medium, and about ten components were ranked Low. Rugged-ranked components may be removed from the SPRA model or assigned a high enough representative fragility such that they do not contribute significantly to seismic risk. High-ranked components can be considered to have a high-confidence-low-probability-of-failure (HCLPF) in-structure Sa capacity of at least 1.8g. Medium-ranked components typically require evaluation of anchorage or other conditions, e.g., interactions to ensure they do not control, before a HCLPF in-structure Sa capacity of at least 1.8g can be assigned. Low-ranked components were non-safety-related items, e.g., some FLEX components, and were assigned low seismic capacities.

Components on the SEL were evaluated for seismic anchorage and interaction effects, and effects of component degradation, such as corrosion and concrete cracking, for consideration in the development of SEL fragilities. In addition, walkdowns were performed on operator pathways, and the potential for seismic-induced fire and flooding scenarios was assessed. The walkdown observations were adequate for use in developing the SSC fragilities for the SPRA.

4.2.2 Seismic Equipment List and Seismic Walkdowns Technical Adequacy The CGS SPRA SEL development was subjected to an in-process independent technical review by industry experts. Comments from the review were resolved satisfactorily.

The CGS SPRA SEL development and walkdowns were subjected to an independent peer review against the full set of applicable requirements (i.e., the relevant seismic fragility analysis (SFR) and seismic plant-response analysis (SPR) requirements) for Capability Category II in the PRA Standard [4].

The peer review assessment, and subsequent disposition of peer review findings, are described in Appendix A, and establish that the CGS SPRA SEL and seismic walkdowns are suitable for this SPRA application.

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 4.3 Dynamic Analysis of Structures This section summarizes the dynamic analyses of structures that contain systems and components important to achieving a safe shutdown, using Soil Structure Interaction (SSI) Analyses.

4.3.1 Fixed-base Analyses Since CGS site is a soil site, SSI analyses were required to determine the building responses and in-structure response spectra (ISRS) needed for the determination of SSC fragilities for the SPRA. SSI analyses were used to develop ISRS for the RB, RWCB, DGB, TB, and CSTs. Seismic input to SEL components located in other CGS structures is not significantly affected by SSI.

The Service Building is a lightweight steel-framed structure with a large basement that moves with the surrounding soil. The Service Building does not house SEL components, but its collapse can damage the CST piping. Therefore, only the forces in the main force resisting system needed to evaluate structure fragility were required. This structure was therefore analyzed as a fixed-base lumped-mass stick model (LMSM) using Response Spectrum analysis.

4.3.2 Soil Structure Interaction Analyses Probabilistic seismic response analysis including SSI effects was performed in compliance with the guidance of ASCE/SEI 4-16 [30]. The probabilistic response analysis implementation followed the approach documented in NUREG/CR-2015

[31], which implements Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS). Variables in the LHS included the strain-compatible soil profiles, structure frequency and damping, and the earthquake acceleration time histories. New finite element models of the structures were developed for the SSI analyses. The SSI simulations were performed using computer program CLASSI [32]. Thirty CLASSI simulations were developed by stratified sampling from each of these variables. The sample space of each variable was divided into thirty equal-probability bins. From each probability bin, one representative value was selected for the variable.

The SSI analysis was performed for a Reference Earthquake ground motion spectrum that represents the seismic hazard levels that contribute most significantly to the SPRA outcome. The Reference Earthquake was selected to be the Mean 1E-5 Uniform Hazard Response Spectrum (UHRS), i.e., ground motions that have Mean Annual Frequencies of Exceedance (MAFE) of 1E-5 /yr at the soil surface in the horizontal direction. A risk-consistent vertical ground motion spectrum was developed for the Reference Earthquake (Section 4.1 in [33]). Thirty sets of three independent components of time history records were developed using spectral matching. The time histories were conditioned such that the median spectral accelerations for the ensemble of time histories match the 5%

damped spectra over the frequency range of 0.5 Hz to 50 Hz. These time histories were then modified to include earthquake component variability using randomly Page 40 of 111

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 generated scale factors from lognormal probability distributions with median values of 1.0 and logarithmic standard deviations for the horizontal and vertical components of 0.18 and 0.25, respectively.

The SSI analysis developed a set of thirty strain-compatible soil profiles consistent with the Reference Earthquake ground motions. A soil column of 85 ft depth was considered for the SSI analysis. The soil stratum below this depth is significantly stiffer than above and was represented by an elastic half-space. A statistically representative set of thirty profiles was selected resulting from the probabilistic site response analyses for 1-5 MAFE horizontal ground motions (refer to Section 3). Selecting from these profiles preserves the underlying correlations between soil layer properties and is therefore preferred over randomly generating uncorrelated properties from each soil layer statistics.

Thirty structure frequency and damping scale factors were generated from lognormal probability distributions with median values of 1.0 and logarithmic standard deviations of 0.15 and 0.35, respectively.

A list of structures and description of relevant parameters is listed in Table 4-2.

The SSI analysis methodology and results are summarized in [34].

4.3.3 Structure Response Models Structure response was developed using new finite element models and the LHS methodology described in Section 4.3.2. Review of the existing LMSMs of the CGS structures indicated that they were generally incapable of representing realistic in-structure responses, especially torsional coupling and floor slab vertical responses, and as such they did not satisfy the modeling requirements in the SPID.

The new finite element models represented median properties of each structure using computer program SAP2000 [35]. The model development generally implemented the requirements of ASCE/SEI 4-16 [30]. Each model represented the significant seismic load-resisting structural components. Beams and columns were modeled by frame elements. Walls, floors, and roofs were modeled by area elements. The structure models included the structure masses and the best estimates of non-structural masses likely to be concurrent with a significant seismic event. The best estimates of these masses were based on field walkdown observations or design documents.

Fixed-base modal analyses were performed for each structure model. These analyses confirmed that the model properly captures the dynamic characteristics of the structure and has reasonable mode shapes and frequencies. Fixed-base static 1g analyses were performed for each structural model by imposing 1g accelerations in each of the three orthogonal directions. Review of the structure displacements, forces, and foundation reactions confirmed that the load path and overall seismic mass and stiffness are appropriately represented. The fixed-base models were not used to determine structure response or structural fragilities except for the Service Building collapse fragility (refer to Section 4.3.1).

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 The stiffness of concrete elements expected to crack at the Reference Earthquake ground motion was adjusted following the provisions of ASCE/SEI 4-16 [30]. For each of the SAP2000 structure models, a preliminary seismic response analysis was performed using uncracked concrete properties to assess the expected extent of concrete cracking and seismic response level. Structure damping was assigned based on the expected response levels following the recommendations of [30]. As discussed in Section 4.3.3, the probabilistic structure response analysis accounted for variability in structure stiffness and damping using the LHS Method.

Two sets of probabilistic response analysis were performed for each structure.

The first analysis set considered all the LHS variables and represented the composite structure response variability from sources of both randomness and uncertainty. The second analysis set considered only the sources of randomness in order to separate out randomness and uncertainty. Randomness was considered to be due to the earthquake ground motion only. The median soil profile and structure stiffness and damping were used in this analysis set and only the earthquake acceleration time histories were varied.

For each analysis set, thirty ISRS were calculated from the acceleration time histories output at each of selected locations in each building for ten damping ratios ranging from 1% to 20%. These locations cover the geographic extent of systems and components included on the CGS SEL. Median and 84% non-exceedance probability (NEP) ISRS were generated at each location and direction for each damping ratio. The displacement time histories were calculated by double-integrating and baseline-correcting the acceleration time histories output.

Median and 84% NEP displacements relative to the free field and relative building-to-building were calculated at representative locations.

4.3.4 Seismic Structure Response Analysis Technical Adequacy The CGS SPRA Seismic Structure Response and Soil Structure Interaction Analysis were subjected to an in-process independent technical review by industry experts.

Comments from the review were resolved satisfactorily.

The CGS SPRA Seismic Structure Response and Soil Structure Interaction Analysis were subjected to an independent peer review against the full set of SFR requirements for Capability Category II in the PRA Standard [4].

The peer review assessment, and subsequent disposition of peer review findings, are described in Appendix A, and establish that the CGS SPRA Seismic Structure Response and Soil Structure Interaction Analysis are suitable for this SPRA application.

4.4 SSC Fragility Analysis The SSC seismic fragility analysis considers the impact of seismic events on the probability of SSC failures at a given value of a seismic motion parameter. The seismic motion parameter for the CGS SPRA was selected to be the 5% damped horizontal ground spectral acceleration at the soil surface at a frequency of 2.5 Hz.

This parameter is representative of the ground motion significant to the response of the major CGS structures, all of which have median fundamental SSI frequencies between 1.6 Hz and 3 Hz. The surface hazard curve slopes at these frequencies are comparable and are significantly different from the slope of the PGA hazard curve. Therefore, using the PGA hazard curve for risk quantification could lead to Page 43 of 111

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 unacceptable bias. The selected ground motion parameter used for the CGS SPRA was reviewed by a panel of industry experts who agreed that this parameter would provide the most realistic results for use in the SPRA. The fragilities of the SSCs that participate in the SPRA accident sequences, i.e., those included on the seismic equipment list (SEL), are addressed in the model. Seismic fragilities for the significant risk contributors, i.e., those which have an important contribution to plant risk, are intended to be generally realistic and plant-specific based on actual current conditions of the SSCs in the plant, as confirmed through the detailed walkdown of the plant.

This section summarizes the fragility analysis methodology and presents a summary of the fragilities, calculation method and failure modes for those SSCs determined to be sufficiently risk important, based on the final SPRA quantification (Section 5). Important assumptions and important sources of uncertainty, and any particular fragility-related insights identified, are discussed.

4.4.1 SSC Screening Approach Screening of SSCs was performed based on the following two criteria:

  • Inherently rugged SSCs: SSCs considered to be rugged were those judged by the SRT to have a very high seismic capacity, such that they should have negligible contribution to seismic risk, as discussed in Section 5.1 of Report 168059-R-04 [37]. Examples of items assessed to be rugged by the SRT include check valves, local instruments, sensors, transmitters, manual valves that are not required to change state, and terminal boxes. The SRT reviewed these components on the SEL during the seismic walkdown to confirm that they were obviously robust, lightweight, well anchored, and free of interaction concerns or signs of physical distress.
  • Capacity-based screening: The capacity-based screening, also referred to as the screening-level fragility, is discussed in Section 9 of [37]. While it was first developed as the fragility for which convolution with the mean hazard curve meets the thresholds recommended for SCDF and SLERF in Section 6.4.3 of the SPID [2], the SPRA systems analysts developed an alternate screening-level fragility using the SPRA model such that the F-V of a screened-out component is less than about 0.005. The latter screening-level fragility was more stringent and was adopted for the SPRA.

This screening-level fragility was used for only three components. These components were not screened from the SPRA plant-response model but instead were retained and assigned the screening-level fragility.

4.4.2 SSC Fragility Analysis Methodology Fragility evaluations were performed for function and anchorage of each SSC, and where applicable, for spatial interaction concerns, seismic-fire and/or seismic-flood interactions, chatter, and structural integrity of the SSC or its supporting structure. Seismic demands were based on the probabilistic structure response Page 44 of 111

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 analysis (Section 4.3). Seismic functional capacities were obtained from component-specific plant seismic qualification tests and industry-wide compilations of test-based capacities for similar components as compiled in EPRI NP-7147-SL [38], [39] and [40], EPRI NP-5223-SL [41] and EPRI 3002010668 [42] as well as earthquake experience-based capacities according to EPRI 1019200 [43]

and EPRI 3002011627 [44]. Anchorage evaluations were performed separately for components. The concrete breakout strength in tension for cast-in-place headed and hooked anchor bolts with no edge distance or spacing limitations was determined following the recommendations of EPRI 3002008099 [45]. The anchorage strengths of other anchors was determined by the Concrete Capacity Design (CCD) Method [46] if International Code Council (ICC) evaluation reports signifying that the anchors satisfy current acceptance criteria were available, or using the provisions in Appendix O to EPRI NP-6041-SL [22] and EPRI NP-5228-SL

[47] if not. Median and design strengths of concrete and steel structural components were determined based on the applicable criteria in material codes, e.g., ACI 349-13 [48] and ANSI/AISC N690-12 [49]. The comprehensive set of criteria for CGS fragility evaluation is presented in Section 8 of 168059-CD-01 [33].

The following graded approach was followed to focus the fragility effort on the risk-significant SSCs. The fragility evaluation method used for each SSC increased in rigor according to its risk significance, as follows:

  • Representative (i.e., preliminary) fragilities were developed for all the SSCs on the final SEL using plant-specific SSC demands and capacity data. These fragilities were based on the Hybrid Method but used simplified calculations and conservatively biased judgment to preserve resources and avoid missing a potentially important SSC.
  • Potentially risk-significant SSCs were identified based on preliminary risk quantifications using the representative fragilities.
  • Detailed fragilities were developed for the risk-significant SSCs.

o For the major risk-significant SSCs, the Separation of Variables (SOV) Method, which is considered to be more rigorous, was used.

SPID [2] stipulates that the SOV Method be used for the risk-dominant SSCs that are major contributors to the plant seismic risk.

o For other risk-significant SSCs, either the SOV or Hybrid Methods were used.

  • Additional risk-significant SSCs were identified based on subsequent risk quantifications that used the available detailed fragilities. Additional detailed fragilities were developed for these SSCs.
  • This iterative process was followed until the risk quantification results became stable.

The Hybrid Method introduced in the SPID [2] estimates the HCLPF seismic capacity and then uses generic variability parameters to estimate the median capacity. The CGS Hybrid fragilities followed a more rigorous approach, which is presented in Section 8.3 of [33]. In this approach, the HCLPF and median seismic Page 45 of 111

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 capacities were each estimated independently for each SSC, and SSC-specific variability parameters were calculated using these two capacities. A minimum value on the variability parameter was imposed to ensure that the calculated values are reasonable.

The structure fragilities of the RWCB and TB dominated seismic risk, followed by the RB structural fragility. Influential equipment fragilities were typically comparable to or better than these structure fragilities, which has typically not been the case in past SPRA quantification. This was attributed to three main reasons: (1) CGS is a relatively young plant within the U.S. nuclear power fleet and has more robust equipment of newer vintage; (2) the variability in the RWCB structure response is particularly high, which extends the lower tail of the fragility distribution towards low ground motions that have higher risk significance; and (3) while the structures were well designed, their horizontal frequency ranges approached the peak of the horizontal ground spectrum at 3.3 Hz. Consequently, the structure seismic demands are nearly driven by the peak in the ground spectrum, while the higher frequency content in the ground motion is filtered out by the low frequencies of the structure. Accordingly, no significant ISRS amplification takes place at the typical equipment frequencies of 5 Hz to 15 Hz.

Given the importance of these structure fragilities, fragility evaluations using nonlinear pushover analyses were performed to obtain more realistic parameters.

The pushover analysis accounted for the progression of structure member yielding and force redistribution to other structure members that form the seismic load path. This included yield capacity evaluations of both shear walls and floor diaphragm potential critical sections. The inelastic energy dissipation was evaluated explicitly considering the effects of SSI for each structure. Pushover analysis of the TB also established that its collapse cannot result in overall failure of the RWCB and can only result in overall failure of the RB with a best estimate probability of 0.2. Detailed fragilities for all three major CGS building structures were developed using the more rigorous SOV Method.

The CGS equipment generally had substantial seismic fragilities. The SPRA risk quantification indicated that motor control centers (MCCs) in the RWCB and DGB were significant contributors to seismic risk. Detailed fragilities were developed for these MCCs using the SOV Method. These fragilities were governed by mounting weld configurations between the base angles and the steel base frames and evaluated inelastic energy dissipation in these flexible connections.

Detailed fragilities were developed using the SOV Method for all chatter-sensitive devices for shaking and impact (for components where impact between adjacent components or building was a realistic concern for chatter). Detailed SOV fragilities were developed for several other equipment components, including the main control room (MCR) AHUs, CSTs, and SW pond spray rings.

Detailed fragilities were developed using the Hybrid Method for about ninety SSCs, including minor structures, NSSS components, MCR electrical panels and Page 46 of 111

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 ceiling, RB MCCs, RWCB and DGB AHUs, and emergency core cooling system (ECCS) pumps. These SSCs had minor risk contributions. The remaining SSCs typically had insignificant risk contributions.

Detailed guidance was developed on modeling correlations between seismic fragilities (Section 10 of the CGS fragility report [37]). Correlation between the structure fragilities of the RB, RWCB, and TB had a significant influence on realism in the plant risk. Verification of the modeling and implementation of this guidance used Monte Carlo Simulation and other methods.

The fragility analysis evaluated building-to-building impact and relative displacement effects on SSC fragilities. It concluded that the only SSC fragilities governed by building impact involved component chatter. Other potentially affected SSCs had higher fragility margins for the effects of building impact and relative displacements than they had for shaking.

Non-vibratory seismic-induced hazards, including ground failures, upstream dam breaches, and potential release of radioactive material from the Hanford Reservation were screened and found to be insignificant contributors to plant risk (Section 11.3 of [37]).

Fragility parameters were developed for input to sensitivity and uncertainty analyses performed by the SPRA analyst. This input addressed potentially significant judgments, simplifications, conservatism, or modeling uncertainties in the fragility evaluations (Section 12 of [37]).

4.4.3 SSC Fragility Analysis Results and Insights Refer to Section 5 for a tabulation of the fragilities for the SSCs and correlated SSC groups determined to be significant risk contributors based on the final SPRA quantification.

4.4.4 SSC Fragility Analysis Technical Adequacy The CGS SPRA SSC Fragility Analysis was subjected to an in-process independent technical review by industry experts. Comments from the review were resolved satisfactorily.

The CGS SPRA SSC Fragility Analysis was subjected to an independent peer review against the full set of SFR requirements for Capability Category II in the PRA Standard [4].

The peer review assessment, and subsequent disposition of peer review findings, are described in Appendix A, and establish that the CGS SPRA SSC Fragility Analysis is suitable for this SPRA application.

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 5.0 Plant Seismic Logic Model This section summarizes the adaptation of the CGS FPIE PRA model to create the seismic PRA plant response (logic) model.

The seismic plant response analysis models the various combinations of structural, equipment, and human failures given the occurrence of a seismic event that could initiate and propagate a seismic core damage or large early release sequence. This model is quantified to determine the overall SCDF and SLERF and to identify the important contributors, e.g., important accident sequences, SSC failures, and human actions. The quantification process also includes an evaluation of sources of uncertainty and provides a perspective on how such sources of uncertainty affect SPRA insights. No portions of the internal events PRA top-logic fault tree were removed; FPIE PRA initiating events that are not applicable to seismic events were excluded from the SPRA quantification by setting these initiating events to logical false.

5.1 Development of the SPRA Plant Seismic Logic Model The CGS seismic response model was developed by starting with the CGS internal events at-power PRA model of record as of January 28, 2019, and adapting the model using CAFTA 6.0b [50] and FRANX 4.2 [51] in accordance with guidance in the SPID [2] and PRA Standard [4], including adding seismic fragility-related basic events to the appropriate portions of the internal events PRA, and adjusting the internal events PRA model human reliability analysis to account for response during and following a seismic event.

CGS SPRA logic model development employed the methods described in the following subsections.

5.1.1 General Approach The CGS SPRA top-logic model is based on the CGS FPIE top-logic model. The FPIE top-logic model includes modeling of the extended loss of ac power (ELAP) FLEX strategy, which was carried over to the SPRA model development. Both seismic and random SSC failures are accounted for in the CGS SPRA model. No portions of the CGS FPIE PRA top-logic fault tree model were removed during the SPRA development. Initiating events not applicable to the SPRA modeling, such as the loss of feedwater initiator (which is subsumed by a loss of offsite power) are set to logical false (value 0) by FRANX 4.2 [51].

The FPIE top-logic model was modified using CAFTA 6.0b [50] to include fault tree logic specific to model plant response following seismic events, including [52]:

1. Seismic-specific accident sequences, such as loss of control room function,
2. Initiating events that proceed directly to core damage,
3. Initiating events that proceed directly to large early release, Page 48 of 111

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0

4. Fault tree logic and basic events to support mapping fragilities to SSCs not explicitly modeled by the FPIE PRA,
5. System trains added to support the SPRA modeling,
6. Human failure events added to address seismic events,
7. Contact chatter scenarios, and
8. Seismic-induced fire and seismic-induced flooding scenarios.

The CGS seismic hazard is discretized into 46 intervals and these intervals are treated as seismic initiators with assignment of interval-specific seismic fragilities, and summation of the PRA solution over all intervals.

The FRANX 4.2 XINIT option [51] was used to integrate the seismic hazard and plant response and to produce a top-logic SPRA model capable of quantifying SCDF and SLERF outside of FRANX. SPRA cutsets are produced by quantifying the top-logic SPRA model in PRAQuant 5.2 [53] using FTREX 1.8 [54] and QRecover 2.08

[55]. The SPRA results are produced by processing the SPRA cutsets in ACUBE 2.0

[56].

5.1.2 Selection of Seismic Initiating Events and Consequential Events Seismic initiating events were systematically selected by reviewing:

1. FPIE initiating events for applicability to seismic events,
2. SSCs on the CGS master equipment list for applicability to seismic events,
3. The list of CGS structures for applicability to seismic events if damage occurs,
4. Interfacing systems loss of coolant accident (ISLOCA) pathways,
5. Review of earthquake operating experience at world nuclear power plants,
6. IPEEE, other external hazards,
7. Combinations of seismic initiating events to ensure that seismic initiating events that occur in combination were addressed by the SPRA model (e.g.,

loss of offsite power (LOSP) and loss of cooling accident (LOCA)).

CGS seismic initiating events include the following:

1. Seismic failures that lead directly to core damage:
a. Loss of control room function with concurrent LOCA,
b. Piping failures in RB 471, 501 or 522 elevations, or
c. Cable tray failures in ECCS pump rooms, RB 422 or 441 elevations.
2. Seismic failures that lead directly to large early release:
a. Structural failure of RWCB or RB, Page 49 of 111

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0

b. Loss of control room function with break / leak outside containment,
c. Structural failure of main control room ceiling light fixture anchorages,
d. Structural failure of RPV internals, or
e. Damage to RPV level reference leg piping,
3. Loss of control room function,
4. Loss of control room HVAC,
5. Break / leak outside containment:
a. SCRAM discharge volume (SDV) integrity fails,
b. Leakage through SDV vent and drain valves,
c. Main steam leak or break outside containment,
d. RCIC steam line break outside containment, or
e. Reactor water cleanup (RWCU) break outside containment,
6. ISLOCA,
7. LOCA (small, medium and large), and
8. LOSP.

CGS SPRA consequential events consist of those carried over the FPIE PRA:

induced LOCAs (SRVs stuck open or RPV overpressurization), anticipated transient without SCRAM (ATWS), station blackout (SBO), ELAP; as well as seismically-induced fires and seismically-induced floods.

5.1.3 Seismic PRA Accident Sequence Development New accident sequences identified by the SPRA development were found to be represented by existing FPIE event trees. The new accident sequences were developed by making copies of applicable FPIE accident sequence logic, uniquely labelling the fault tree gates, and adding this new sequence logic to the appropriate locations in the SPRA top-logic model.

5.1.4 Modeling Assumptions The CGS SPRA important modeling assumptions consist of the following:

1. The SPRA models sequences that involve a loss of offsite power. Offsite power is not recoverable during the SPRA mission time. Sequences which do not involve a loss of offsite power are not included in the SPRA quantification. However, LOSP was not credited for eliminating or limiting the consequences of failure of items that would lose power in the event of LOSP.

Page 50 of 111

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0

2. The effectiveness of secondary containment (reactor building) to mitigate releases from primary containment (drywell / wetwell) is not credited by the SPRA model, consistent with the FPIE PRA model.
3. Seismic-fire scenarios are modeled as a full burn-up at time zero of the physical analysis unit in which the ignition source is located. No credit is modeled for fire suppression. These conservatisms do not significantly impact the SPRA results [57].
4. Fully correlated response of same or very similar equipment in the same structure and elevation is assumed.
5. Failure of the diesel generator room mixed air HVAC ducts are assumed to fail the respective diesel generator. DG room heatup calculations have not examined the condition in which the HVAC ducts have been damaged. In the absence of dedicated calculations, this approach represents a conservative bias.

5.1.5 Large Early Release Frequency Model SPRA large early release sequences are based on the FPIE PRA and supplemented by seismic-induced LERF contributors, such as RB or RWCB damage at seismic levels above the fragilities established for these structures [52]. Additional containment isolation pathways applicable to seismic events were identified and modeled by the SPRA.

5.1.6 Contact Chatter Scenarios All unscreened contact chatter scenarios identified by the contact chatter assessment were incorporated into the SPRA. The potential for operator recovery from each chatter scenario was examined, and operator actions were included in the SPRA modeling.

5.1.7 SSC Response Correlation The SPRA fully correlates the responses of same or very similar equipment in the same structure and elevation. Partial correlation is explicitly modeled for the composite fragility of three CGS structures: RB, RWCB and TB. No other partial correlation is modeled.

The resulting correlated component groupings include the following, as applicable:

  • RWCB, RB and TB structures (partial correlation),
  • Division 1 and 2 switchgear,
  • Division 1 and 2 load centers,
  • Division 1 and 2 motor control centers,
  • Onsite diesels DG-1 and DG-2,
  • Division 1 and 2 diesel generator auxiliary components (e.g., starting air tanks; cooling water reservoirs; control panels; fuel transfer pumps),

Page 51 of 111

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0

  • Transformers,
  • Inverters,
  • Battery chargers,
  • Batteries,
  • Electrical distribution panels,
  • Air-handling units,
  • Fan coolers,
  • Electrical contact device contact chatter groups (42 correlation groups),
  • Main control room control panel / relay panel groups (five correlation groups),
  • Control panels,
  • Containment isolation valves (correlation of inboard with outboard valves),
  • Storage tanks (e.g., underground diesel fuel),
  • Heat exchangers,
  • Hydraulic control unit assemblies,
  • Instrument racks.

5.1.8 Seismic Human Reliability Analysis The CGS seismic human reliability analysis (HRA) follows the guidance of EPRI 3002008093 [58]. A systematic approach was used to identify the internal events human failure events (HFEs) that should be included in the seismic PRA. Additional actions were added to the SPRA in cases where such actions would impact the overall assessment of risk.

Risk-significant HFEs were given detailed treatment in the SPRA. Adjustments were made in plant damage state-specific analyses for each of the HFEs that received detailed HRA. Additional fault tree modeling was provided for detailed HFEs to determine which damage state version of the HFE is able to be expressed in the fault tree logic. Plant damage state definitions were adopted from [58].

For non-significant HFEs, failure probabilities were adjusted to account for the effect of seismic conditions on human error probability (HEP) development using the EPRI screening approach. This was performed by applying integrated performance shaping factors using the methodology presented in [58].

A seismic HRA dependency analysis was performed and incorporated into the SPRA quantification to account for the dependencies between multiple HFEs in the same cutset [52].

Page 52 of 111

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 5.1.9 Seismic-Induced Fire Seismic-induced fires were postulated and modeled using the EPRI methodology for seismically induced fire [59]. Potential sources of seismic-induced fire were identified as follows [52]:

1. A seismic-induced fire global analysis boundary was defined where seismic-induced fires were postulated to occur. This boundary includes all plant locations that contain equipment with the potential to produce a fire and impact equipment on the SEL and/or electrical cables that support equipment on the SEL.
2. The plant master equipment list [24] was analyzed during the SEL development to identify SSCs if, and only if: a) the SSC poses the potential to produce a seismic-induced fire; and b) located in physical analysis units that could affect equipment credited by the SPRA. If an SSC failed to meet either of these criteria, it was screened from seismic-induced fire scenarios.

Seismic-induced fires were modeled in the SPRA for all ignition sources identified by this review, unless the fire produces an impact no different from loss of the component itself and totaled about 40 scenarios [52]. Due to the potential challenges to suppress a fire given a seismic event, no credit is taken for fire suppression, and the fire scenarios are modeled as full burn-up of the physical analysis units in which the ignition sources exist. Seismic-induced fires were modeled by combining the fragility of the ignition sources with their conditional probabilities of producing a fire, given damage.

5.1.10 Seismic-Induced Flood Seismic-induced floods were postulated and modeled using the EPRI methodology for seismically induced flood guidance [59]. Potential sources of seismic induced flood were identified as follows [52]:

1. A seismic-induced flood global analysis boundary was defined where seismic-induced floods were to be postulated to occur. This boundary includes all plant locations that contain equipment with the potential to produce a seismic-induced flood that can impact equipment on the SEL.
2. An inventory of all equipment within the global analysis boundary with the potential to cause a seismic-induced flood was made, based on a review of the CGS master equipment list [24], and walkdown observations.

Seismic-induced floods were modeled in the SPRA for all flooding sources identified by this review by mapping flood sources to flood scenarios modeled by the FPIE PRA or, for flood scenarios specific to seismic events, to applicable targets

[52]. A total of about 50 internal flooding scenarios were modeled.

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 CGS is a dry site [60]. There are no external flooding scenarios capable of damaging any equipment credited by the SPRA.

5.1.11 Screening of SSC Failure Modes All SSC failure modes were modeled in the SPRA unless the SSC was deemed by the fragilities team to be rugged, the SSC damage produces no impact to the SPRA or the impact is enveloped or addressed by another SSC [52].

5.1.12 Incorporating Seismic Failures into the System Fault Trees and PRA Model Database FRANX 4.2 was used to integrate the seismic hazard and plant response. Fragility groups were defined for all SEL SSCs that can impact CGS plant response following an earthquake. The SPRA models 425 fragility groups [52]. These groups were incorporated into FRANX 4.2 and mapped to basic events in the CGS SPRA top-logic fault tree model that correspond to the specific SSC impacts produced by each fragility group. The XINIT feature in FRANX 4.2 [51] was then used to produce a top-logic fault tree to quantify the SPRA outside of FRANX using PRAQuant 5.2

[53]. PRAQuant 5.2 was then utilized to produce the SPRA cutsets, and ACUBE 2.0

[56] was used to produce the SPRA results.

5.2 SPRA Plant Seismic Logic Model Technical Adequacy The CGS SPRA seismic plant response methodology and analysis were subjected to an independent peer review relative to Capability Category II for the full set of SPR supporting requirements in the Standard [4].

The peer review assessment, and subsequent disposition of peer review findings, are described in Appendix A, and establish that the CGS SPRA seismic plant response analysis is suitable for this SPRA application.

5.3 Seismic Risk Quantification In the SPRA risk quantification, the seismic hazard is integrated with the seismic response analysis model to calculate the frequencies of core damage and large early release of radioactivity to the environment. This section describes the SPRA quantification methodology and important modeling assumptions.

5.3.1 SPRA Quantification Methodology Quantification of the SPRA top-logic model is performed using PRAQUANT 5.2

[53], FTREX 1.8 [54] and QRecover 2.08 [55]. FTREX generates the SPRA cutsets.

QRecover applies cutset post-processing rules. After the initial quantification, ACUBE 2.0 [56] is used to produce more precise top event frequency estimates and to generate importance measures. ACUBE employs a binary decision diagram (BDD) algorithm to minimize overcounting in the Boolean summation of SPRA cutsets. Software employed by the SPRA quantification has been vetted through the CGS software acceptance process.

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 The human reliability analysis dependency analysis (HRADA) is implemented in the CGS SPRA via QRecover 2.08 recovery rules [52].

5.3.2 SPRA Model and Quantification Assumptions Plant-specific model assumptions made in the hazard analysis, structures /

fragilities analysis, and plant response modeling that are key to the SCDF or SLERF results (i.e., assumptions for which the use of an alternative consensus method or hypothesis would significantly alter the results or insights) consist of the following:

1. The effectiveness of secondary containment (reactor building) to mitigate releases from primary containment (drywell / wetwell) is not credited by the SPRA model, consistent with the FPIE PRA model..
2. Building-to-building impact has an uncertain effect on chatter events.

The fragilities of chatter-sensitive contact devices considered impact between two building floors to result in simultaneous chatter of all the components located on those floors.

3. The CGS SPRA quantification employs fragilities truncation. The Expert Panel on Quantification in Seismic Margins recommendation in NUREG/CR 4334 [61] described the HCLPF capacity of a component as corresponding to the earthquake level at which it is extremely unlikely that failure of the component will occur. This recommendation is interpreted by the CGS SPRA development to mean that SSC conditional failure probabilities at ground motions below a threshold that corresponds to high confidence in a low failure probability can be considered to be practically zero. Fragility truncation at the CGS HCLPF capacities (i.e., 95% confidence and 5% probability of failure) was considered by the CGS SPRA development team to be potentially unconservative. Therefore, fragilities are truncated in the SPRA quantification below ground motions that correspond to at least 95%

confidence in at most 1% probability of failure.

4. The CGS offsite power loss fragility estimate is typical of that employed by industry SPRAs. The offsite power loss fragility estimate is a source of modeling uncertainty. A consensus reasonable alternative approach is not currently available.
5. Failure of the diesel generator room mixed air HVAC ducts are assumed to fail the respective diesel generator. DG room heatup calculations have not examined the condition in which the HVAC ducts have been damaged. In the absence of dedicated calculations, this approach represents a conservative bias.
6. A reference ground motion of 2.5 Hz is selected for the CGS SPRA as most characteristic for the site. This parameter is representative of the ground motion significant to the response of the major CGS structures, Page 55 of 111

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 all of which have median fundamental SSI frequencies between 1.6 Hz and 3 Hz. The surface hazard curve slopes at these frequencies are comparable and are significantly different from the slope of the PGA hazard curve. Therefore, using the PGA hazard curve for risk quantification could lead to unacceptable bias.

5.4 SCDF Results The seismic PRA performed for CGS shows that the point estimate mean seismic CDF is 2.0x10-5/yr. A discussion of the mean SCDF with uncertainty distribution reflecting the uncertainties in the hazard, fragilities, and model data is presented in Section 5.6. Important contributors to SCDF risk are discussed in the following paragraphs.

Important Seismic Initiating Event Contributors Figure 5.4-1 summarizes the SCDF contributors by seismic initiating event in graphical pie chart form, i.e., the SCDF contributors by initiating event.

As can be seen from the graphical display, the seismic initiators %G07 through

%G22 are the dominant seismic risk contributors and contribute greater than 83%

of the total CDF. The initiating event contribution to CDF comes mostly from intermediate bins. Lower ground motion bins, especially Bins 1-6, have higher frequency, but low conditional core damage probabilities (CCDPs). Higher ground motion bins, especially above Bin 28, have a high CCDP, but lower frequency.

Among the top SCDF contributors are: structural failure of the RWCB, RB or TB structures (sequence DAMAGE-H_E), loss of control room functionality with loss of HPCS and failure to implement remote shutdown (sequence CR-IC029), and ELAP with failure of the RCIC system (sequence ELAP118).

Figure 5.4-2: Accident Sequence Contribution to CDF Table 5.4-1 Summary of Top 95% CDF Level 1 Accident Sequences Accident Sequence Description In this sequence, the structural failure of the RWCB, RB, or TB structures DAMAGE-H_E lead to both core damage and large early release. This seismic-only accident sequence (not in FPIE PRA) is described with greater detail in the SPRA plant response model notebook [52].

This sequence begins with a seismic-induced loss of control room cabinets CR-IC029 and/or essential instrumentation. HPCS fails to run and shutdown from either the remote shutdown panel (RSP) or alternate remote shutdown panel (ARS) fails. The failure of injection leads to core damage.

An ELAP occurs and RCIC fails to start or run in the short term, which ELAP118 doesnt allow time to implement FLEX strategies. Because offsite power cannot be restored, core damage occurs due to loss of injection.

Page 58 of 111

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 Table 5.4-1 Summary of Top 95% CDF Level 1 Accident Sequences Accident Sequence Description This sequence is a seismic-induced LOSP. HPCS and RCIC both fail to T(E)N102 provide high pressure makeup and RPV depressurization fails, resulting in core damage at high pressure.

This sequence is like CR-IC029, except the control room fails due to HVAC CR-HV029 loss that is not recovered.. As in CR-IC029, HPCS operation fails and shutdown from the RSP/ARS also fails.

In this seismic-induced SBO scenario, neither HPCS nor RCIC are available SBO297 to provide high pressure makeup in the short term. Without prompt offsite power recovery, core damage ensues without adequate makeup.

This sequence is a seismic-induced ELAP. FLEX strategies fail to be ELAP081 implemented, recovery of offsite power fails, and local manual operation of RCIC also fails. Without injection, core damage occurs.

This sequence begins with a seismic-induced station blackout (both offsite SBO261 power failure and failure of EDGs 1 and 2). HPCS fails in the short term, but RCIC succeeds to provide makeup in the short term. FLEX strategies fail to be implemented. Local manual operation of RCIC fails, leading to the eventual failure of RCIC, and core damage occurs.

This sequence is a seismic-induced LOSP. HPCS and RCIC both fail to T(E)N101 provide high pressure makeup. The RPV is successfully depressurized in response, however low pressure makeup sources also fail, resulting in core damage at low pressure.

This seismic-induced SBO is characterized by early success of HPCS, but SBO133 eventual failure of EDG 3 to support it in the long term. FLEX strategies fail to be implemented. Local manual operation of RCIC fails, leading to the eventual failure of RCIC and core damage occurs.

This sequence is a seismic-induced moderate or major break outside FLURW013 containment in the RWCU piping. Isolation of RWCU occurs. HPCS fails, requiring depressurization (which succeeds). Low-pressure injection sources, however, fail to provide adequate makeup.

This sequence is like SBO261, except local operation of RCIC succeeds.

SBO260 However, when containment venting fails, there is no decay heat removal from containment and RCIC will eventually mechanically fail. Without any remaining makeup, core damage occurs.

This sequence is a LOSP. HPCS fails to inject, but RCIC succeeds. Initiation T(E)N043 of suppression pool cooling (SPC) fails, leading to eventual necessity to depressurize. The depressurization and low-pressure injection functions both succeed, however all decay heat removal methods fail, including venting. With no way to remove decay heat, containment fails, and injection subsequently fails.

This sequence is like ELAP081. In this sequence, however, a FLEX DG ELAP050 successfully powers the Division 1 battery chargers. RCIC fails to provide long-term injection. FLEX external injection fails to be implemented and core damage occurs due to loss of makeup.

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 Important Contributors to Core Damage Frequency Importance measures for basic events are calculated with ACUBE. Because CDF importance measures are calculated on a per-seismic bin basis, the importance measures for the overall model are calculated using a weighting for the overall bin top event frequency as follows:

46

= ,

=2 where is the importance measure (RAW or F-V) for top event (CDF or LERF),

, is the importance measure for seismic bin , , is the top event frequency for each seismic bin, and is the overall top event frequency.

It is noted here that F-V and Criticality Importance (CI) are used interchangeably in this report and are numerically similar. ACUBE calculates CI, not F-V; F-V is used in this report because it is the more familiar metric among industry PRAs.

Table 5.4-2 provides the SCDF F-V importance measures for SSC fragilities.

Major contributors to CDF are related to fragilities for loss of offsite power, ac /

dc power distribution, and the RB, RWCB and TB composite fragility, which proceeds directly to core damage [52].

The top five contributors to SCDF with F-V greater than 5.0E-3 are as follows:

Loss of offsite power (F-V = 0.50)

Offsite power is expected to have a high F-V because there is a high probability for the seismic event to fail offsite power.

Chatter Group 4 - Chatter of Electrical Contact Devices in MCC E-MC-4 (F-V =

0.24)

This contact chatter fragility event affects HPCS, which is a makeup system available at high and low-pressure and has a dedicated emergency diesel generator. HPCS is an important source of core cooling. The chatter group 4 fragility is influenced by the interactions of E-MC-4 with an adjacent instrument rack [37].

CGS Structures: Radwaste, Turbine and Reactor Buildings (F-V = 0.15)

The composite fragility for the RWCB, RB and TB structures is modeled to lead directly to core damage and large early release due to widespread damage to electrical distribution and/or piping and a loss of containment integrity [52].

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 RWCB Elevation 467 Motor Control Centers (F-V = 9.5E-2)

This fragility event produces a loss of safety-related ac and dc power supplies [57].

Motor Control Centers E-MC-7F and E-MC-8F (F-V = 8.4E-2)

This fragility event contributes to potential seismic-induced fire as well as the loss of power to the HVAC systems for the main control room, switchgear rooms and remote shutdown panel room [52].

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 Group 1: Cutsets 1 through 7, 11, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 25, 27, 28, 36, 38, and 49 are all characterized by the structural failure of the RB or RWCB structures accompanied by the failure of the RWCU heat exchanger, leading to a non-isolable break outside containment. Without the ability to mitigate this event, core damage occurs.

Group 2: Cutsets 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 26, 29, 37, 39 through 41, 43, 46, and 47 are seismic-induced LOSP events. Seismic chatter causes HPCS to fail to start and is not recovered. Seismic fragility events fail normal MCR HVAC and operators fail to establish alternate cooling. The RSP is also non-functional due to a loss of HVAC. The control failures lead to the inability to operate RCIC. When operators fail to depressurize from the ARS, there is a loss of makeup at high pressure resulting in core damage.

Group 3: Cutsets 30 through 35 are ELAP scenarios. RCIC is also failed in these cutsets. In an ELAP without RCIC, there is no path to success to implement FLEX due to time limitations.

Group 4: Cutsets 42, 44, 45, 48, and 50 involve a loss of MCR indication/instrumentation initiating event. Operators fail to provide alternate indication in the MCR and fail to shut down from outside the MCR.

SCDF Accident Class Contributors The dominant Level 1 accident class contributors to the CGS SCDF consist of the following:

  • Class 6A1 (Station blackout sequences with early failure of HPCS and RCIC)

- 23.0%

  • Class 5A (Large or medium LOCA outside containment sequences with failure to isolate the break) - 20.5%
  • Class 1A3 (Losses of offsite power, failures of high pressure injection and depressurization) - 11.8%

The Level 1 accident class definitions for the CGS SPRA are based on those defined for the CGS FPIE PRA model. The Level 1 accident classes are described in Table 4-3 of the CGS SPRA Quantification Notebook [57].

The largest contributor is class 2D, where core damage occurs after loss of containment heat removal. The top cutsets for 2D involve HPCS failure, a loss of Page 69 of 111

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 control room functionality and failure to safely shutdown from outside the control room.

Two of the top 5 largest class contributors are 6B2 and 6A1. Both involve SBO /

ELAP sequences with failures of HPCS. This is an expected result; if offsite power and EDGs 1 and 2 are failed due to the seismic event, its likely that the HPCS EDG is also failed.

The number three contributor is 5A, a non-isolable break outside containment.

This is primarily due to cutsets involving the failure of the RWCB or RB structures, which proceed directly to core damage and large early release.

The fourth largest contributor is 1A3, which is failure of high-pressure injection with failure of depressurization.

5.5 SLERF Results The seismic PRA performed for CGS shows that the point estimate mean SLERF is 8.8x10-6/yr. A discussion of the mean SLERF with uncertainty distribution reflecting the uncertainties in the hazard, fragilities, and model data is presented in Section 5.6. Important contributors are discussed in the following paragraphs.

Figure 5.5-1 summarizes the SLERF contributors by seismic initiating event in graphical pie chart form, i.e., the SLERF contributors by initiating event.

As can be seen from the graphical display, the seismic initiators %G07 through

%G26 and %G46 are the dominant seismic risk contributors to SLERF. The contribution to SLERF per seismic bin is like that for SCDF, with most of the contribution coming from intermediate bins.

Figure 5.5-1: CGS SPRA SLERF by Initiating Event SLERF Accident Sequence Contributors The top SLERF accident sequences are documented in the SPRA quantification report [57]. These are briefly summarized in Table 5.5-1 and Figure 5.5-2.

The top SLERF contributors are: 5A-002 (breaks outside containment), 6A1-079 (SBOs without containment isolation), 6A1-041 (SBOs with low RCS pressure and energetic containment failure), 6A1-078 (like 6A1-041 but at high RCS pressure),

and 1A-079 (loss of high pressure injection and depressurization with containment isolation failure).

I Figure 5.5-2: Accident Sequence Contribution to LERF Table 5.5-1 Summary of Top 95% Large Early Release Sequences Accident Description Sequence Accident sequence 5A-002 reaches core damage by way of containment bypass.

5A-002 The break outside containment provides a pathway for unscrubbed, prompt radionuclide release.

These sequences begin with a 6A1 core damage state (SBO w/ failure of HPCS and 6A1-079 RCIC and no depressurization). These sequences result in high, early release because containment penetrations are not isolated during the event.

The core damage sequences are like that of 6A1-079, though operators can 6A1-041 depressurize the reactor post-core damage. The core melt progression is not terminated by late injection. Early containment failure results in large early release.

Page 73 of 111

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 Table 5.5-1 Summary of Top 95% Large Early Release Sequences Accident Description Sequence This sequence is like 6A1-041, but the reactor remains at high pressure during the 6A1-078 in-vessel core melt progression.

Core damage results from a sequence with failure of high pressure injection and 1A-079 failure of depressurization. Like 6A1-079, containment isolation also fails, resulting in early, unscrubbed release.

Important Contributors to Large Early Release Frequency Table 5.5-2 provides the SLERF F-V importance measures for SSC fragilities. The SLERF F-V risk importance values are calculated in a manner similar to that discussed in Section 5.4 for SCDF F-V values.

The top 5 contributors to SLERF by F-V are as follows:

CGS Structures: Radwaste, Turbine and Reactor Buildings (F-V = 0.49)

The composite fragility for the RWCB, RB and TB structures is modeled to lead directly to core damage and large early release due to widespread damage to electrical distribution and/or piping and a loss of containment integrity [52].

Loss of offsite power (F-V = 0.26)

Offsite power is expected to have a high F-V because there is a high probability for the seismic event to fail offsite power.

Chatter Group 1 - Building-to-building Impact (F-V = 7.9E-2)

Chatter group 1 consists of ECDs whose fragilities are affected by RB-to-RWCB building-to-building impacts [37]. The impacts from this chatter group to plant operation include the automatic isolation of RCIC as well as the spurious opening of containment isolation valves in the fuel pool cooling system (FPC) [57].

Chatter Group 4 - Chatter of Electrical Contact Devices in MCC E-MC-4 (F-V =

7.1E-2)

This fragility event involves contact chatter that affects HPCS, which is a makeup system available at high and low-pressure and has a dedicated emergency diesel generator. The chatter group 4 fragility is influenced by the interactions of E-MC-4 with an adjacent instrument rack [37].

RWCB Elevation 467 Motor Control Centers (F-V = 5.1E-2)

This fragility event produces a loss of safety-related ac and dc power supplies [57].

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 Group 1: Cutsets 1 through 21, 24, 27, 29, 33, and 39 are all similar to the Group 1 SCDF cutsets. These cutsets are characterized by the structural failure of the RB or RWCB structures accompanied by the failure of the RWCU heat exchanger, leading to a non-isolable break outside containment. Without the ability to mitigate this event, core damage occurs, and the guaranteed containment bypass leads to a large early release.

Group 2: Cutsets 22, 25, 31, 35, 37, 40, 43, 47, 49 and 50 reach core damage due to seismic-induced ELAP without RCIC available. Without RCIC available, FLEX strategies are not successful and core damage ensues. FPC containment isolation pathways fail due to contact chatter, which is not recovered. The failure to isolate containment coupled with the core damage event results in a large early release.

Group 3: Cutsets 23, 26, 42, 44, and 45 are similar to Group 2 cutsets. Seismic-induced flooding in the critical switchgear rooms induce an SBO. Contact chatter fails HPCS and this condition is not recovered or the HPCS pump room cooler fails.

RCIC fails and FPC containment isolation pathways fail due to contact chatter.

Group 4: Cutsets 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 41, and 48 are SBO sequences caused by seismic-induced floods. HPCS fails due to chatter, which is unrecovered by the operations staff. RCIC fails due to a separate contact chatter event, and FPC containment isolation pathways fail due to contact chatter.

SLERF Accident Class Contributors The dominant Level 1 accident class contributors to the CGS SLERF consist of the following:

  • Class 5A (Large or medium LOCA outside containment with failure to isolate the break) - 57.59%
  • Class 6A1 (Station blackout sequences with early failure of HPCS and RCIC)

- 36.68%

  • Class 1A (Loss of high pressure injection and RPV depressurization) - 4.60%

The accident class definitions for the CGS SPRA are based on those defined for the CGS FPIE PRA model. The accident classes are described in Table 4-3 of the CGS SPRA Quantification Notebook [57].

5.6 SPRA Quantification Uncertainty Analysis Parametric Uncertainty Parametric uncertainty evaluations for the CGS SPRA were developed using UNCERT 4.0 [62]. All risk-significant basic events are required to be subject to the SOKC for the parametric uncertainty evaluation. The importance tables in the preceding sections were reviewed to ensure their probabilities are sampled in accordance with the SOKC for this evaluation.

Due to software and hardware limitations, the number of cutsets passed to ACUBE for the parametric uncertainty evaluation is limited and, therefore, the mean estimates of the top event frequencies can be much higher than evaluated in the base case due to cutsets not being integrated into the BDD solution. To facilitate discussion of the percentile values in the estimate of top event frequencies, the CGS SPRA CDF and LERF are assumed to have the same mean values as those reported in Sections 5.4 and 5.5 and error factors as those estimated by UNCERT 4.0. The error factor is estimated using the following definition:

95

=

50 where is the error factor, 95 is the 95th percentile of the top event frequency, and 50 is the median of the top event frequency.

To obtain the 95th percentile of the top event frequency using the calculated mean (from Section 5.4 or 5.5) and error factor, the following equation is used:

ln

+1 95 = 5.41 where is the mean top event frequency.

Page 82 of 111

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 SCDF Uncertainty Parametric sampling of the CGS SPRA SCDF was performed on the base SCDF cutset file using the UNCERT 4.0 Monte Carlo sampling option, ACUBE BDD value of 2,700 cutsets, and 20,000 samples. For the CGS SPRA SCDF, the sampled 95th percentile was 1.2E-4/yr and sampled median was 3.0E-5/yr, yielding an error factor of approximately 3.8. This error factor is then used to develop a more realistic 95th percentile value based on the base case mean (2.0E-5/yr). This calculated 95th percentile value is 5.6E-5/yr.

This uncertainty error factor on SCDF is reasonable.

SLERF Uncertainty Parametric sampling of the CGS SPRA SLERF was performed on the base SLERF cutset file using the UNCERT 4.0 Monte Carlo sampling option, ACUBE BDD value of 5000 cutsets, and 20,000 samples. The sampled 95th percentile value of SLERF was 4.4E-5/yr and sampled median was 1.1E-5/yr, yielding an error factor of approximately 3.9. Like SCDF, this error factor is used with the reported mean SLERF of 8.8E-6 to estimate a 95th percentile value of SLERF of 2.4E-5/yr.

This uncertainty error factor on SLERF is reasonable.

Modeling and Completeness Uncertainty Generic and plant-specific sources of modeling uncertainty (SOU) were rigorously identified as well as sources of completeness uncertainty [63].

The potential sources of generic uncertainty were drawn from EPRI TR-1026511

[63]. For each of the identified generic sources of modeling uncertainty, either no reasonable alternative approach was identified, the uncertainty was addressed specifically by the model itself (e.g. treatment of high failure probabilities was addressed by using ACUBE), or the SOU was determined to be non-risk significant.

No key SOUs were identified from the generic modeling uncertainty list.

The potential sources of plant-specific modeling uncertainty were generated for areas where a reasonable alternative exists to an approach taken by the PRA development. The following sources of plant-specific modeling uncertainty were found to be key sources for most applications per NUREG 1855 [64]:

1. The effectiveness of secondary containment (reactor building) to mitigate releases from primary containment (drywell / wetwell) is not credited by the SPRA model, consistent with the FPIE PRA model.
2. Building-to-building impact has an uncertain effect on chatter events. The fragilities of chatter-sensitive contact devices considered impact between two building floors to result in simultaneous chatter of all the components located on those floors.
3. The CGS SPRA quantification employs fragilities truncation. Fragilities are truncated below ground motions that correspond to at least 95%

confidence in at most 1% probability of failure.

Page 83 of 111

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0

4. The CGS offsite power loss fragility estimate is typical of that employed by industry SPRAs. The offsite power loss fragility estimate is a source of modeling uncertainty. A consensus reasonable alternative approach is not currently available.
5. Failure of the diesel generator room mixed air HVAC ducts are assumed to fail the respective diesel generator. DG room heatup calculations have not examined the condition in which the HVAC ducts have been damaged. In the absence of dedicated calculations, this approach represents a conservative bias in most applications [57].
6. A reference ground motion of 2.5 Hz is selected for the CGS SPRA as most characteristic for the site [37]. This parameter is representative of the ground motion significant to the response of the major CGS structures, all of which have median fundamental SSI frequencies between 1.6 Hz and 3 Hz.

There are no significant sources of completeness uncertainty relative to this application.

5.7 SPRA Quantification Sensitivity Analysis Quantification truncation sensitivity analyses were performed by projecting the SCDF and SLERF for the next factor of 10 lower truncation limit. This was performed to demonstrate adequate convergence of the results. The result of the analyses demonstrated that the model results exhibit adequate convergence.

Sensitivity analyses were performed for the assumptions or model uncertainties identified as important to the SPRA results in Section 5.6. Table 5.7-1 provides a summary of six sensitivity cases performed and describes the impacts on the results (sensitivity cases 1 through 6).

The fragility report [37], Section 12.9, identifies candidates for potential refinements of the calculated fragilities. Sensitivity case 7 in Table 5.7-1 examines this potential SPRA model enhancement.

Sensitivity of the SPRA results to SPRA modeling decisions are examined in Table 5.7-1 by sensitivity cases 8 and 9.

Aspects of the SPRA model that are important to the results were considered. A reasonable alternative approach exists for one aspect of the SPRA model, and sensitivity analysis case 10 was documented in Table 5.7-1.

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 5.8 SPRA Logic Model and Quantification Technical Adequacy The CGS SPRA risk quantification and results interpretation methodologies were subjected to an independent peer review against the full set of requirements in the ASME/ANS PRA Standard [4] related to risk quantification and results interpretation.

The peer review assessment, and subsequent disposition of peer review findings, are described in Appendix A, and establish that the CGS SPRA seismic plant response analysis is suitable for this SPRA application.

6.0 Conclusions A seismic PRA has been performed for CGS in accordance with the guidance in the SPID.

The CGS SPRA shows that the seismic CDF is 2.0E-05/yr and the seismic LERF is 8.8E-06/yr. This submittal reflects the current as-built / as-operated plant as of the date of this submittal. Although the seismic CDF and LERF results are acceptable, Columbia continues to pursue closure of the remaining F&O, which deals with potential improvement in characterization of the site hazard.

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 Appendix A Summary of SPRA Peer Review and Assessment of PRA Technical Adequacy for Response to NTTF 2.1 Seismic 50.54(f) Letter A.1. Overview of Peer Review The CGS PRA was subjected to an independent peer review against all requirements of the ASME/ANS PRA Standard Code Case 1 [4]. The peer review assessment [6], [65], and subsequent disposition of peer review findings, are summarized here. The scope of the review encompassed all technical elements and supporting requirements (SR) for the SHA (seismic hazard), SFR (seismic fragilities), and SPR (seismic PRA modeling) elements for SCDF and SLERF. The peer review therefore addressed the set of SRs identified in Tables 6-4 through 6-6 of the SPID [2].

The information presented here establishes that the SPRA has been peer reviewed by a team with adequate credentials to perform the assessment, establishes that the peer review process followed meets the intent of the peer review characteristics and attributes in Table 16 of RG1.200 [66] and the requirements in ASME/ANS PRA Standard Code Case 1 [4], and presents the significant results of the peer review.

The CGS SPRA peer review was conducted during the week of December 10, 2018 at the Energy Northwest offices in Richland, Washington. As part of the peer review, a walk-down of portions of CGS was performed on December 11, 2018 by two members of the SFR peer review team who have the appropriate Seismic Qualification Utility Group (SQUG) training as well as one member from the SPR peer review team.

A.2. Summary of the Peer Review Process The peer review was performed against the requirements in the ASME/ANS PRA Standard Code Case 1 [4], using the peer review process defined in NEI 12-13 [5]. The review was conducted over a four-day period, with a summary and exit meeting on the morning of the fifth day.

The SPRA peer review process defined in NEI 12-13 [5] involves an examination by each reviewer of their assigned PRA technical elements against the requirements in the Standard to ensure the robustness of the model relative to all of the requirements.

Implementing the review involves a combination of a broad scope examination of the PRA elements within the scope of the review and a deeper examination of portions of the PRA elements based on what is found during the initial review. The supporting requirements Page 100 of 111

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 (SRs) provide a structure which, in combination with the peer reviewers PRA experience, provides the basis for examining the various PRA technical elements. If a reviewer identifies a question or discrepancy, that leads to additional investigation until the issue is resolved or a Fact and Observation (F&O) is written describing the issue and its potential impacts as well as suggesting possible resolution.

For each area, i.e., SHA, SFR, SPR, a team of two to three peer reviewers was assigned, one reviewer having lead responsibility for that area. For each SR reviewed, the responsible reviewers reached consensus regarding which of the Capability Categories defined in the Standard that the PRA meets for that SR, and the assignment of the Capability Category for each SR was ultimately based on the consensus of the full review team. The Standard also specifies high level requirements (HLR). Consistent with the guidance in the Standard, capability categories were not assigned to the HLRs, but a qualitative assessment of the applicable HLRs in the context of the PRA technical element summary was made based on the associated SR capability categories.

As part of the review teams assessment of capability categories, F&Os are prepared.

There are three types of F&Os defined in NEI 12-13 [5]: Findings, which identify issues that must be addressed in order for an SR (or multiple SRs) to meet Capability Category II; Suggestions, which identify issues that the reviewers have noted as potentially important but not requiring resolution to meet the SRs; and Best Practices, which reflect the reviewers opinion that a particular aspect of the review exceeds normal industry practice. The focus in this appendix is on Findings and their disposition relative to this submittal.

A.4. Summary of the Peer Review Conclusions The review teams assessment of the SPRA elements is summarized as follows. Where the review team identified issues, these are captured in peer review findings, for which the dispositions are summarized in the next section of this appendix.

Page 102 of 111

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 SHA

  • As required by the PRA Standard [4], the seismic source characterization (SSC) model and ground motion characterization (GMC) model elements of the Columbia Generating Station (CGS) PSHA are based on Senior Seismic Hazard Analysis Committee (SSHAC) Study Level (SL) 3 guidance.
  • A detailed site response analysis (SRA) was performed to define the PSHA ground motions at the control point elevation [7], and [9]. The level of analysis is consistent with providing input to the seismic PRA for the CGS.
  • The Technical Integration teams who developed the CGS PSHA input models considered the full range of earthquake data (geological, seismological, and geophysical) to develop the SSC and GMC models.
  • The CGS PSHA for the reference rock horizon was developed using a SSHAC Level 3 process [12]. All credible tectonic sources of potentially damaging earthquakes were considered, evaluated, and integrated into the assessment.
  • Uncertainties in the seismic source characterization are addressed in the CGS PSHA and are explicitly included in the CGS PSHA computations.
  • The effects of local site response are described in Chapter 9 of the CGS PSHA Report

[7] for the SMB Stack, Bechtel Power Calculations [8], [9], and [10], and the Energy Northwest letter G02-15-045 to NRC dated March 12, 2015 [3].

  • The CGS PSHA includes the propagation of epistemic uncertainty and aleatory variability in each step of the hazard analysis. Epistemic uncertainties and aleatory variability in the SSC and GMC models have been included in the quantification of the ground motion hazard at the site.
  • The CGS PSHA horizontal spectral shape for reference rock site conditions is based on the GMC model which includes an assessment of ground motions at twenty spectral frequencies [7]. The horizontal spectral shape at the control point elevation is derived for the same twenty spectra frequencies [10].
  • The vertical spectral shape at the control point elevation is derived using V/H ratios that consider the results of the hazard evaluation [18].
  • The SPRA fragilities notebook [37] discusses a number of other hazards identified and evaluated.

SFR

  • The probabilistic seismic response analysis for the structures at CGS is based on the mean UHRS for AFE of 10-5 anchored to 0.4288g PGA.
  • The CGS SPRA selected the spectral acceleration at 2.5 Hz as the reference ground motion parameter for use in the SPRA quantification.
  • Fixed-base 3D finite element models were developed for all the buildings and structures included in the PRA effort using computer code SAP2000.
  • SSI analyses were performed for five CGS structures: RB, RWCB, DGB, and the two CSTs.
  • No SSCs listed in the final SEL were screened based on capacity.

Page 103 of 111

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0

  • The seismic-fragility evaluation incorporates the findings of walkdowns of the plant focusing on the anchorage, structural support, and potential systems interactions.
  • The calculation of seismic-fragility parameters, including median capacity and variabilities, was performed for failure modes affecting the functions modeled in the system analysis.
  • The capacities for the non-risk significant SSCs were conservatively biased, based on design basis, seismic qualification data, previous seismic evaluations, and earthquake experience data. For most of the non-risk significant SSCs, representative fragilities were used. In a few cases, fragilities for non-risk significant SSCs were calculated based on the SOV or enhanced Hybrid methods.
  • SOV calculations were performed to determine fragilities for a large portion of the significant risk contributors with essentially all the remainder having fragilities developed using enhanced Hybrid Method calculations.

SPR

  • As required by the PRA Standard [4], the CGS SPRA uses a Seismic Initiating Event Tree (SIET) that follows a reasonable hierarchical process to model the seismic-induced plant damage states and transfer these sequences to the appropriate core damage frequency event trees.
  • The identification of initiating events is thorough and used several sources. The SPRA model was determined to reflect the as-built, as-operated plant.
  • The SPRA accident sequence and system models integrate the seismic hazard with hazard interval initiators and applies seismic induced fragilities to the logic model using EPRI FRANX software, resulting in the quantification of CDF and LERF cutsets that contain the hazard initiators, seismic-induced failures, and non-seismic failures (random failures, CCF events, maintenance unavailabilities, etc.).
  • Seismic-induced flooding and fire were appropriately addressed.
  • The SIET sequences incorporate the seismic aspects by either leading directly to core damage or transferring to the appropriate event trees.
  • The seismic HRA addressed the impact of seismic events on the HRA. The overall approach to the SHRA follows the guidance in EPRI 3002008093 [58].
  • The SPRA uses a sound set of criteria for determining correlation groups.
  • The relay chatter analysis is well-performed.
  • The Level 2 sequences are treated appropriately and lead directly to LERF given core damage when appropriate.
  • The SPRA used the internal events PRA model as the basis for developing the SEL.

Also, the existing SEL from the IPEEE and plant master equipment list were used in the development of the SEL. Various SSCs and structures not explicitly modeled in the internal events model were identified based on the review of appropriate plant sources.

  • The process of identifying the HFEs to be carried over to the SPRA from the FPIE, FPRA, and IFPRA was sound and well done, as was the identification of new HFEs specific to seismic that were added to the model. The specification of HRA damage bins was Page 104 of 111

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 reasonable. Adjustments were made to time parameters for the HFEs that received detailed HRA (the risk-significant HFEs). The time margin estimates were confirmed for the actions that were not significant and used the EPRI screening approach.

  • The SPRA accident sequence and system models integrate and quantify the seismic hazard with hazard interval initiators and then apply seismic induced fragilities to the logic structure using EPRI FRANX and ACUBE software.
  • A quantitative assessment of the uncertainties in CDF and LERF was performed using the EPRI UNCERT 4.0 [62] software.

The peer review team concluded that the CGS seismic PRA model is of good quality and integrates the seismic hazard, the seismic fragilities, and the systems-analysis aspects appropriately to quantify core damage frequency and large early release frequency.

A.5. Summary of the Assessment of Supporting Requirements and Findings As summarized in Table A-1, all SRs are graded as met at Capability Category II [6], [65].

Summary of Technical Adequacy of the SPRA for the 50.54(f) Response The set of supporting requirements from the ASME/ANS PRA Standard [4] that are identified in Tables 6-4 through 6-6 of the SPID [2] define the technical attributes of an SPRA model used to respond to the 50.54(f) letter. The conclusions of the peer review discussed above and summarized in this report demonstrates that the CGS SPRA model Page 105 of 111

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 meets the expectations for PRA scope and technical adequacy as presented in RG 1.200, Revision 2 [66] as clarified in the SPID [2].

The main body of this SPRA summary report describes the SPRA methodology, including:

o Summary of the seismic hazard analysis (Section 3) o Summary of the structures and fragilities analysis (Section 4) o Summary of the seismic walkdowns performed (Section 4) o Summary of the internal events at power PRA model on which the SPRA is based, for CDF and LERF (Section 5), and o Summary of adaptations made in the internal events PRA model to produce the seismic PRA model and bases for the adaptations (Section 5).

Detailed archival information for the SPRA consistent with the listing in Section 4.1 of RG 1.200 Rev. 2 is available if required to facilitate the NRC staffs review of this report.

The CGS SPRA reflects the as-built and as-operated plant as of the cutoff date for the SPRA, April 18, 2019 [57]. There are no permanent plant changes that have not been reflected in the SPRA model.

A.7. Summary of SPRA Capability Relative to SPID Tables 6-4 through 6-6 The Owners Group performed a full scope peer review of the CGS internal events PRA and internal flooding PRA that forms the basis for the SPRA to determine compliance with ASME PRA Standard, RA-S-2008, including the 2009 Addenda A [67] and RG 1.200

[66] in December 2009. This review documented findings for all supporting requirements (SRs) which failed to meet at least Capability Category II. All of the internal events and internal flooding PRA peer review findings have been closed [68]

and all SRs are considered to be met.

The Owners Group performed a peer review of the CGS SPRA in December 2018 [6].

The results of this peer review are discussed above. The peer review team expressed the opinion that the CGS SPRA model is of good quality and integrates the seismic hazard, the seismic fragilities, and the systems-analysis aspects appropriately to quantify core damage frequency and large early release frequency. The general conclusion of the peer review was that the CGS SPRA is judged to be suitable for use for risk-informed applications.

  • Table A-1 provides a summary of the disposition of SRs judged by the peer review to be not met, or not meeting Capability Category II.

Page 106 of 111

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0

  • Table A-2 (located at the end of this appendix) provides a summary of the disposition of the open SPRA peer review findings.
  • Table A-3 provides an assessment of the expected impacts to the results of the CGS SPRA of those SRs and peer review Findings that have not been fully addressed.

Table A-3 Summary of Impact of Not Met SRs and Open Peer Review Findings SR # or Summary of Issue Not Impact on SPRA Results F&O # Fully Resolved Finding 20-10 As assessed by the F&O closure The convolution of the revised hazard and fragilities independent assessment team, sensitivity evaluation produced 4% and 34% increases in this finding was partially SCDF and SLERF, respectively, however, the risk-informed resolved by: 1) satisfactorily decisions produced as part of this report are not altered revising the CGS hazard, and 2) by this outcome. The differences in risk estimates for reassessing seismic fragilities this sensitivity case are attributable to the revised hazard based on scaling. The revised rather than the updated fragilities [57]. Specifically, the hazard and fragilities were revised fragilities produce net decreases in CDF and LERF convolved as a sensitivity when convolved with the original hazard. The overall evaluation. This is a source of seismic capacity of the plant is generally unchanged.

completeness uncertainty.

The SSCs whose risk-significance change significantly from the fragility revisions are as follows:

  • RB recirculation air fan coolers 10 and 11 F-V values increased from 4E-3 to about 1.5E-2 for CDF and 4E-3 to 1E-2 for LERF.
  • The F-V for the CRD hydraulic control units increased from 4.5E-3 to 9E-3 for LERF.

This partially resolved F&O is not considered a source of completeness uncertainty for this submittal because the CGS SPRA uses the hazard that was approved by the NRC for this application, as discussed in [17]. The revised hazard was only used in a sensitivity study to determine the impact on risk-informed decisions and identification of dominant risk contributors. As stated, the difference in SCDF and SLERF is directly attributable to the change in the hazard and not to the seismic capacity of the SSCs at the plant.

50.54(f) NTTF 2.1 CGS Seismic PRA Submittal Revision 0 A.8. Identification of Key Assumptions and Uncertainties Relevant to the SPRA Results.

The PRA Standard [4] includes a number of requirements related to identification and evaluation of the impact of sources of uncertainty and related assumptions on the PRA results. NUREG-1855 [64], EPRI 1016737 [69] and EPRI 1026511 [63] provide guidance on assessment of uncertainty for applications of a PRA. As described in NUREG-1855 [64],

sources of uncertainty include parametric uncertainties, modeling uncertainties, and completeness (or scope and level of detail) uncertainties.

  • Parametric uncertainty was addressed as part of the CGS SPRA model quantification (see Section 5 of this report).
  • Modeling uncertainties are considered in both the base internal events PRA and the SPRA. Assumptions are made during the PRA development as a way to address a particular modeling uncertainty because there is not a single definitive approach. Plant-specific assumptions made for each of the CGS SPRA technical elements are noted in the SPRA documentation that was subject to peer review, and a summary of important modeling assumptions is included in Section 5.
  • Completeness uncertainty addresses scope and level of detail. Uncertainties associated with scope and level of detail are documented in the PRA but are only considered for their impact on a specific application.

A summary of potentially important sources of uncertainty in the CGS SPRA is listed in Table A-4.

PRA team noted that sources of Model uncertainty and related assumptions are identified and characterized well in the SPRA notebooks.

A.9. Identification of Plant Changes Not Reflected in the SPRA The CGS SPRA reflects the plant as of the cutoff date for the SPRA, which was April 18, 2019 [57]. There are no plant changes that would affect the SPRA that have not been reflected in the SPRA model.
