PRA Model Technical Adequacy The PRA models associated with these submittals have been assessed against the ASME/ANS PRA Standard (RA-Sa-2009 and Part 5 Code Case) and RG 1.200, Revision 2, consistent with NRC RIS 2007-06.
All F&O closure reviews were performed in accordance with the process documented in Appendix X to NEI 05-04, NEI 07-12, and NEI 12-13 as accepted by the NRC (ML17079A427), as well as the requirements published in the ASME/ANS PRA Standard (RA-Sa-2009).
11
PRA Model Technical Adequacy
- Internal Events & Internal Flood PRA
- Full scope peer reviewed to ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009 in April 2019
- Appendix X to NEI 05-04 finding closure reviews completed over several reviews, the final review being in June 2020
- No open Finding F&Os
- Fire PRA
- The Fire PRA was prepared using the methodology defined in NUREG/CR-6850, Fire PRA Methodology for Nuclear Power Facilities, to support a transition to NFPA Standard 805, Performance Based Standard for Fire Protection for Light Water Reactor Electric Generating Plants
- Full scope peer reviewed to ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009 in October 2009
- Appendix X to NEI 07-12 finding closure review completed over two reviews, final review in June 2020
- No open Finding F&Os 12
PRA Model Technical Adequacy
- Seismic PRA
- Full scope peer review conducted in June 2018 against the requirements of the Code Case for ASME/ANS RA-Sb-2013, as amended by the NRC on March 12, 2018.
- Appendix X to NEI 12-13 Finding closure review completed over several reviews, the final review being in June 2020
- No open Finding F&Os
- High Winds PRA and Other External Hazards Screening
- The External Hazards Screening Assessment and the High Winds PRA were reviewed against the technical elements in Sections 6 and 7 of the ASME/ANS PRA Standard in April 2019
- Appendix X to NEI 05-04 and 12-13 Finding closure review completed in Nov. 2019
- No open Finding F&Os 13
PRA Model Technical Adequacy
- Special Note
- As part of a PRA improvement update Callaway implemented the methodology provided in PWROG-18027-NP, for assessing the loss of room cooling in PRA modeling. During the peer review of the internal events PRA model a Finding F&O was generated related to implementation of this method.
- Subsequently, the PWROG-18027-NP method was chosen by the PWROG and NEI to pilot the Newly Developed Methods (NDM) peer review process established in NEI 17-07 and PWROG-19027 Rev. 0.
- Despite the assessment that this method did not necessarily meet the definition of a NDM, Callaway decided to suspend resolution of the associated F&O until the NDM peer review and closure of any F&Os on the method itself were completed using the process established in NEI 17-07 and the NDM requirements defined in PWROG-19027-NP.
14
PRA Model Technical Adequacy
- A peer review was conducted on the method provided in PWROG-18027-NP
- Followed the guidance in NEI 17-07 Revision 2 and the refined NDM requirements defined in PWROG-19027 Rev.1
- Based on the results of this review, all applicable NDM requirements are met and there are no open peer review Findings against the method in PWROG-18027-NP Rev. 0.
- Documented in PWROG-19020-NP Rev. 1
- In June 2020, a focused scope peer review was conducted for the Callaway Energy Center.
This review determined that all of the SRs that were examined, including the SR associated with the F&O related to implementation of the method in PWROG-18027-NP, satisfy Capability Category II, or higher, requirements. There were no new F&Os generated as a result of this review.
15
PRA Model Technical Adequacy In conclusion:
- The method documented in PWROG-18027-NP Rev. 0 has been reviewed using the most current NDM requirements and peer review guidance
- There are no outstanding F&Os on the method
- Implementation of the peer reviewed method in the Callaway PRAs has also been reviewed with no open F&Os 16
PRA Model Uncertainties and Assumptions Callaway followed the process defined in NUREG-1855, EPRI 1016737, and EPRI 1026511
- Assessment of potential sources key to respective applications and disposition/treatment for the application
- Identification of plant-specific sources and generic sources for all Hazards per EPRI 1016737
- Identification of Fire and Seismic PRA plant-specific sources and generic sources per Appendices of EPRI 1026511
- Consideration of both parameter & completeness uncertainties 17
- Eliminates second Completion Times (limiting time from discovery of failure to meet an LCO) for Required Actions in favor of administrative controls.
- As stated in TSTF-505, Revision 2, it is necessary to adopt TSTF-439 in order to adopt TSTF-505 for those Required Actions that are affected by both travelers.
- Combined implementation of TSTF-439 and TSTF-505, in lieu of getting a TSTF-439 License Amendment before submitting TSTF-505 LAR.
18
Potential Review Efficiencies
- Both RICT and 50.69 license amendment requests are consistent with their applicable templates or model applications
- PRA Models
- PRA technical adequacy and key sources of uncertainty similar for both applications
- All models have been recently peer reviewed
- NRC observed most of these peer reviews
- No open Findings
- Streamlined approach where both are reviewed together 19
Timeline for Submittals
- Two separate submittals will be made
- 50.69 LAR is expected to be submitted in late 3rd Quarter 2020
- Changes to the schedule will be communicated to the NRC Project Manager in a timely manner 20
