Enclosure to TXX-20052 Page 1 of 12 EXIGENT LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST (LAR)20-002 REVISION TO TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION (TS) 3.7.19, "SAFETY CHILLED WATER" SUPPLEMENT Executive Summary The following items describe the supplemental changes to the original LAR submittal based on information discussed during a public teleconference on July 7, 2020 between the Licensee (Vistra Operations Company LLC (Vistra Op Co)) and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
- 1.
Section 3.3 of the original Enclosure was revised to ensure the deterministic nature of the submittal is maintained and the risk insights are used to support the evaluation of "Equipment Response to Loss of Room Cooling." A description of the computer program utilized to determine room heatup rates is provided. Also included are the actions required by plant procedure ABN-503, "Safety Chilled Water System Malfunction" if Train 'A' Safety Chilled Water is lost while in the extended COMPLETION TIME of 7 days. Listed the pump rooms that will have alternate cooling staged during the extended COMPLETION TIME of 7 days.
- 2.
Section 3.5.2 of the original Enclosure was revised to include that mitigative actions by operators to establish alternate room cooling are directed by plant procedure ABN-503, "Safety Chilled Water System Malfunction." Clarified that the risk insights from the risk analysis, with respect to equipment capability and risk mitigating actions, are strictly qualitative not quantitative.
- 3.
Section 3.5.3 of the original Enclosure was revised to include the mitigative strategies employed during loss of heat removal events which are the dominant impact on the following risk scenarios; Loss of offsite power (i.e., grid, switchyard, or transformer failure)
Transient events leading to a plant trip Fires in the unaffected safety related Switchgear Rooms, UPS and Distribution rooms, Cable Spreading Rooms and Main Control Room leading to abandonment Loss of heat removal capability events are mitigated by; The actions provided in the List of Inspections, Compensatory Measures, and Conditions in Attachment 1 and by plant procedures for loss of offsite power, reactor trip, control room evacuation, and loss of safety chilled water; ABN-601, "Response to a 138/345 KV System Malfunction" EOP-0.0B, "Reactor Trip or Safety Injection" ABN-803, "Response to a Fire in the Control Room or Cable Spreading Room" ABN-9058, "Loss of Control Room Habitability" ABN-503, "Safety Chilled Water System Malfunction"
Enclosure to TXX-20052 Page 2 of 12
- 4.
Section 3.6 of the original Enclosure was revised to remove compensatory shutdown actions for Severe Thunderstorm and Tornado Warnings as these warnings are transitory in nature and normally do not last long enough to complete a plant shutdown.
- 5.
The original Attachment 1, List of Inspections, Compensatory Measures, and Conditions was revised to remove compensatory shutdown actions for Severe Thunderstorm and Tornado Warnings as these warnings are transitory in nature and normally do not last long enough to complete a plant shutdown.
- 6.
The original Attachment 2, Regulatory Commitment Number 5900444 Implemented during Unit 2 Safety Chilled Water extended COMPLETION TIME was revised to remove compensatory shutdown actions for Severe Thunderstorm and Tornado Warnings as these warnings are transitory in nature and normally do not last long enough to complete a plant shutdown.
- 7.
The original Attachment 4, Figure 1, Safety Chilled Water System was revised to show the Unit 2 system. The original submittal provided a Unit 1 figure.
Enclosure to TXX-20052 Page 3of12 3.3 Equipment Response to Loss of Room Cooling CPNPP evaluated the loss of room cooling on Engineered Safety Features equipment (Reference 6.4).
The evaluation included the following major elements; Review of HVAC calculations for temperature rise versus time and conclusions made pertaining to equipment survival.
Review of mechanical and electrical equipment to determine the most limiting components.
Evaluation of limiting equipment lubricants to determine their maximum operating temperatures.
Performance of room heatup calculations and determination of heatup rate as a function of time for limiting equipment.
Evaluation of qualification temperature against the room heatup rates.
The following is a description of these evaluations. Using the room heatup rates as determined by computer program COMPARE-MOD1A and vendor supplied information, risk insights are provided supporting extending the safety chilled water train COMPLETION TIME from 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> to 7 days.
The following is a description of computer program COMPARE-MOD1A from the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) website; "COMPARE-MOD1A performs transient analysis of the thermodynamic conditions in zero velocity or stagnant volumes connected by flowing junctions with provision for mass and energy addition. Volume thermodynamics and junction flows are for homogeneous mixtures of: steam, two-phase water to its triple point, any three perfect gases, or combinations of the above. Vent flow can be based on the Moody equation, compressible polytropic orifice flow, and an incompressible sub-element inertial relationship. Variable area doors and heat sinks can be modeled. Capabilities are incorporated to provide for accounting of loss coefficient detail, calculation of forces and moments, and plotting of results. The program was written to perform transient sub-compartment analysis of nuclear power plants, including those with ice condensers.
Volume thermodynamics and junction flows are determined independently in a quasi-static explicit manner. Mass and energy inflow of outflow accounting for each volume is done first for each time increment, assuming vent flows are constant. Thermodynamic equilibrium is assumed and state points determined. The resulting thermodynamic conditions are assumed constant and used to calculate the new vent flows between volumes for the next time interval."
The room heatup data has been determined using standard engineering analyses with computer program COMPARE-MOD1A to produce a Comanche Peak specific calculation ME-CA-0000-3169-01. The results from the calculations indicate that CCW Pumps, CCPs, MDAFW Pumps, RHR Pumps, Containment Spray Pumps (CTPs), and SIPs under all calculation input conditions there is ample time to take manual actions to provide alternate cooling prior to expected pump failure. This engineering calculation is not used for design basis equipment qualification; it was developed to provide more realistic assessments that might subsequently be used in the CPNPP PRA models.
Although all components in the affected rooms were considered, the pumps are the most limiting components in each room.
Plant procedure ABN-503, "Safety Chilled Water System Malfunction," provides the following actions for a loss of both safety chilled water trains;
Enclosure to TXX-20052 Page 4of12
- 1. Verify at least one train of safety chilled water is expected to be restored within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />. If not, then reduce power to < 50% in 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> and be in MODE 3 in the next 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />.
- 2. Monitor and verify area temperatures do not exceed - Abnormal Limits (131°F). If area temperatures for the affected pumps exceed - Abnormal Limits, then stop non-essential equipment on the affected train (during extended Completion Time the CCWP, CCP, and SFP Cooling Water Pump would be essential):
RHR Pump Containment Spray Pumps Motor-Driven AFW Pump SI Pump CCW Pump CCP SFP Cooling Water Pump Assess alternating essential pumps to provide function and control pump room temperatures.
If continued equipment operation is necessary (essential) then, Initiate local equipment monitoring Supply temporary room cooling by; o Opening doors o Installing portable fans o Turning off lights Loss of both safety chilled water trains probability due to extending the single train inoperable COMPLETION TIME from 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> (3 days) to 7 days is small. Based on the loss of both safety chilled water trains as a possibility CPNPP will stage alternate cooling equipment (blowers and ducting) outside of the following rooms; CCW Pump 2-01 room CCP 2-01 room MDAFWP 2-01 room SIP 2-01 room Containment Spray Pumps 2-01 and 2-03 room (both pumps are in the same room and a blower for each pump motor will be staged)
RHR Pump 2-01 room The SFP Cooling Water Pump and Heat Exchanger room coolers will be aligned to Unit 1.
Enclosure to TXX-20052 Page5of12 3.5.2 Development and Use of PRA Insights The evaluation for the proposed COMPLETION TIME extension consisted of a review of the impacted plant systems and their safety functions. There are no systems, structures, or components (SSCs) that will change status due to the proposed change.
No new accidents or transients will be introduced by the proposed change.
No physical changes are being made to any of the systems affected by the COMPLETION TIME extension. The function and operation of these systems will remain the same, as described in the plant design basis. Protective measures will be taken to ensure that unanticipated compromises to system redundancy, independence, and diversity will not occur during maintenance activities. See Section 3.3 of this enclosure.
The CPNPP Configuration Risk Management Program (CRMP) is established in TS 5.5.18. Engineering Evaluation 314 (Reference 6.18) provides a description of controls and assessments to preclude the possibility of simultaneous planned outages of redundant trains and ensure system reliability. Use of PRA Insights associated with this proposed change can be considered to the extent the defense-in-depth principles described in RG 1.177 and RG 1.174 are met.
An appropriate balance is maintained for layers of defense-in-depth. Prevention of core damage depends on the ability to continuously remove decay heat after an initiating event. (1) During the extended COMPLETION TIME, if a design basis accident occurred, the operable safety chilled water train remains available to cool areas of plant equipment that are needed to mitigate the event. (2) The design of CPNPP, with relatively large equipment spaces, means the PRA model can reflect realistic room heat up over the mission time through application of conditional probabilities. (3) The use of heat up analysis results of Section 3.3 focuses attention on supplying alternate pump room cooling through operator actions directed by ABN-503, "Safety Chilled Water System Malfunction."
Design features are preserved without an overreliance on programmatic activities as compensatory measures. During the extended COMPLETION TIME, the opposite train will remain operable and capable of performing necessary safety functions, consistent with accident analysis assumptions. Safety analysis acceptance criteria stated in the FSAR (Chapter 15.0) are not impacted by this change. With this proposed change, the operable safety chilled water train remains available and does not result in plant operation in a configuration outside the design basis. Programmatic features are limited to those associated with risk management actions described in Section 3.5.3.
These risk reduction measures provide a qualitative risk impact to the PRA analysis and calculation for this proposed change; no quantitative credit was taken in the PRA analysis for any of the proposed risk reduction measures. The results of Section 3.3 heat up analysis determined that components will be able to continue to function and time would be available to take risk mitigating actions; thus, the impact from reliance on operator action during the proposed COMPLETION TIME is limited to implementing ABN-503. Fire Protection tracking impacts will be reviewed for fire hazards and fire impairments. Transient combustibles and hot work in fire risk-sensitive areas will be limited. Restrictions on work activities will be in place for components that if lost or failed could result in a direct plant trip or transient. The compensatory measures described in Section 3.6 are intended to reduce the potential of risk-significant configurations, however, are not overly relied upon in the PRA analysis for the proposed licensing amendment.
System redundancy, independence, and diversity are appropriately preserved. Some
Enclosure to TXX-20052 Page 6of12 areas cooled by fans that rely on the safety chilled water contain alternate cooling dependent on the area. For example, the fan coil units for UPS have a redundant system with its own chiller and fans if safety chilled water is unavailable. The 1 E electrical switchgear rooms are not normally cooled by safety chilled water.
The potential for common-cause failures (CCFs) would not increase as there is no change in failure mechanisms associated with the safety chilled water COMPLETION TIME change from 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> to 7 days.
Enclosure to TXX-20052 Page 7of12 3.5.3 Avoidance of Risk Significant Plant Configurations CPNPP plant risk associated with the proposed Safety Chilled Water System COMPLETION TIME extension is determined from RG 1.200, Revision 2 (Reference 6.14) Capability Category II compliant PRA models for internal events, internal flooding,
and internal fires with additional risk insights provided from qualitative assessments for seismic events, tornado events, and other external events. Associated actions to avoid or respond to these events through function of the redundant train of safety chilled water with protection of associated support functions and mitigating equipment are discussed below.
The dominant risk scenarios associated with unavailability of safety chilled water include:
Loss of offsite power (i.e., grid, switchyard, or transformer failure)
Transient events leading to a plant trip Fires in the unaffected safety related Switchgear Rooms, UPS and Distribution rooms, Cable Spreading Rooms and Main Control Room leading to abandonment The dominant risk contributors with a train of safety chilled water out of service were reviewed as documented in Engineering Evaluation 314 (Reference 6.18). The evaluation includes detailed review of the individual top cutsets and significant basic events to identify risk reduction measures.
The dominant impact of the above scenarios on critical safety functions is the loss of heat removal from the Steam Generators due to failure of all the auxiliary feedwater pumps (random or induced) or loss of room cooling to the motor driven pumps. These scenarios are mitigated by the actions provided in the List of Inspections, Compensatory Measures, and Conditions in Attachment 1 and by plant procedures for loss of offsite power, reactor trip, control room evacuation, and loss of safety chilled water; ABN-601, "Response to a 138/345 KV System Malfunction" EOP-0.0B, "Reactor Trip or Safety Injection" ABN-803, "Response to a Fire in the Control Room or Cable Spreading Room" ABN-9058, "Loss of Control Room Habitability" ABN-503, "Safety Chilled Water System Malfunction" Random or induced loss of coolant accidents do not contribute significantly to the change in risk for the safety chilled water train out of service, with the overall risk reduced at CPNPP due to use of low leakage reactor coolant pump seals.
The PRA analysis assumes that other risk significant plant equipment outage configurations will not occur during the extended completion time period by prohibiting elective maintenance on other PRA risk significant plant equipment (i.e., prohibiting voluntary entry into identified risk management action level configurations) and avoiding other activities that could challenge unit operation or cause fires in risk significant areas as described in the compensatory measures.
The potential for a common cause failure of the remaining available safety chilled water train during the CT extension period for an out of service safety chilled water train is considered minimal. Failure effects are well understood as slow acting. During the proposed completion time, monitoring and prompt corrective actions mitigate conditions
Enclosure to TXX-20052 Page 8 of 12 such that common cause failure does not contribute to increasing risk.
The PRA analysis identified the following actions to further reduce PRA risk as documented in Engineering Evaluation 314 (Reference 6.18). Actions include monitoring of those dominant risk-sensitive areas associated with fire scenarios potentially affecting remaining in-service train equipment during the extended CT.
These risk reduction measures are being taken at the start of the work activity and prior to exceeding the initial 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> of the CT, (see Attachment 1) to address various configuration risks and sensitivity analyses:

to TXX-20052 Page 1 of 3 Regulatory Commitment Number 5900444 Implemented during Unit 2 Safety Chilled Water extended COMPLETION TIME
- 1.
Access to both switchyards and relay houses will be controlled and posted, and all planned maintenance will be suspended for the duration of the extended CT.
This risk reduction measure was selected based on the reliance on offsite power during the extended CT. The measure is selected to deter any potential transmission grid perturbations or trip issues to the 6.9 kV power supplies from either the 345kV or 138kV switchyard. Work in the switchyard is administratively controlled by the Operations Shift Manager (SM) who by plant procedure, STA-629 "Switchyard Control and Transmission Grid Interface," (Reference 6.27) has sole authority to grant access to the switchyard. By SM authority, any testing or maintenance activities or access to either switchyard will not be permitted, with the exception of normal operator visual inspection rounds or response to abnormal or emergency conditions.
- 2.
The following applies to Unit 2. The EDGs, APGs, TDAFWP, inservice startup transformers, CCWPs, and SSWPs will have ALL testing and maintenance activities suspended (except for those required to restore equipment from any ongoing maintenance activity) for the duration of the safety chilled water extended CT. Additionally, during the extended CT, signs will be placed on the doorways to the equipment, or in the case of the inservice startup transformers, boundary signs, and barrier tape, rope, or chains will be installed on Train A equipment in service or in standby; safety chiller and recirculation pump, CCW pump, CCP, SIP, RHR pump, Containment Spray pumps (two per train), and both trains of Spent Fuel Pool Cooling pumps, 6.9kV Safeguards electrical switchgear and UPS HVAC, noting the restriction of testing and maintenance.
These risk reduction measures ensure continued availability of these components for the entire duration of the extended CT.
- 3.
For Fire Safety Shutdown Analysis (FSSA) - Fire Areas of Concern will have additional restrictions on combustible storage during the extended CT. All "Hot Work" in the Fire Areas of Concern will be suspended. An hourly roving fire watch will be in effect to protect the Fire Areas of Concern as a Risk Management Action (RMA). The Fire Areas of Concern are the areas that credit the affected safety chiller for achieving FSS.
- 4.
For Risk Mitigation Both Unit 1 and 2 Transient Combustible safe zones identified in the fire assessment, in the Main Control Room (MCR) and the Cable Spread Room (CSR) and the cable routing paths for the inservice startup transformers will have additional restrictions relating to combustible storage during the extended CT.
Implementing this RMA will reduce the fire risks that were identified for the transient combustible scenarios in the fire analysis.
to TXX-20052 Page 2 of 3 All hot work activities along the routing associated with power and control cabling for inservice startup transformers, in the MCR and the CSR will be suspended during the extended CT. This RMA reduces the risks associated with fires that could damage and thus disable the station transformer cabling.
An hourly roving fire watch will be in effect to protect areas credited by the fire assessment, specifically, the MCR and CSR (to minimize the exposure time for detection and suppression of potential fires) and areas containing power and control cabling of the inservice startup transformers (to minimize loss of offsite power).
