This includes operation in spray mode or in spray bypass mode.
When applying the criteria that includes at most 3 cutset elements, the only additional system with a newly identified HSS function was the EDG system. However, this function was already identified as HSS from other aspects of the categorization process when the system was initially categorized, so there would be no change to categorization of components in this function due to the Alternate Core Damage Defense in Depth analysis.
Comparing the results of these sensitivity studies to the results obtained by applying the guidance described in PWROG-20015-NP Revision 3, the only function that was identified as HSS was for the EDG system. This function was already HSS from the other additional process steps of 50.69 categorization. Therefore, the results of the sensitivity study do not show any additional functions from the pilot systems as HSS when compared to the initial PWROG-20015-NP guidance. It is expected that this conclusion would be consistent when applied to other initiating events that were not evaluated as part of this sensitivity study.
A sensitivity study was not performed for Containment Defense in Depth as the alternate methodology guidance for this process step has been removed from PWROG-20015-NP Revision 3.

x Cost-effective. On a plant-specific basis, the new categorization methodology is applied once, no matter how many systems are selected for full 10 CFR 50.69 categorization and alternative treatment. Additionally, if a licensee were to categorize five systems in Year X and then were to categorize another five systems in Year X+1, the list of HSS systems/subsystems from a pressure boundary perspective would not change. Obviously, this would have a positive impact on the cost of pressure boundary categorization.
Additionally, as discussed previously, this would provide stability to the overall categorization scheme.
3UHUHTXLVLWHV
Prior to implementing the categorization process contained in section 4.2, a licensee will need to assure that the following prerequisites have been met. Each requirement is listed below and explained in further detail in succeeding paragraphs.
x Prerequisite 1 - PRA technical adequacy
- Robust internal events PRA model, including IF x Prerequisite 2 - Integrity management
- Robust program that addresses localized corrosion
- Robust program that addresses FAC
- Robust program that addresses erosion x Prerequisite 3 - Protective measures for IF events Prerequisite 1 - PRA technical adequacy (Pressure Boundary Failures)IF As stated previously, the plant needs to have a robust internal events PRA, including IF, that addresses failure of all pressure boundary components (e.g. main steam line breaks, main feedwater line breaks, internal flooding events, interfacing system LOCA, etc.). As this methodology is being used in support of 10CFR50.69 applications, the plant-specific PRA needs to be sufficient to support the License Amendment Request (LAR) approval process, including consideration of PRA assumptions and sources of uncertainty.
Paragraph 50.69(c)(1 )(i) of 10 CFR requires, in part, that the PRA must be of sufficient quality and level of detail to support the categorization process, and must be subjected to a peer review process assessed against a standard or set of acceptance criteria that is endorsed by the NRC.
Paragraph 50.69(b)(2)(iii) of 10 CFR requires the results of the PRA review process conducted to meet 10 CFR 50.59(c)(1 )(i) be submitted as part of the application. This can include full-scope peer review of the internal events and internal flooding PRA against RG 1.200, Revision 2 as well as a gap assessments of earlier peer reviews of the internal events and internal flooding PRA against RG 1.200, Revision 2. An example of the review of a plant-specific PRA that meets these requirements can be found in [X1].
A similar requirement was imposed upon the development of RI-ISI programs. To help determine if a plant had a PRA sufficient to develop an RI-ISI program, EPRI report 1021467, Probabilistic Risk Assessment Technical Adequacy Guidance for Risk-Informed In-Service Inspection Programs, [12] was developed. This report identifies which portions of the PRA (that is, supporting requirements [SRs]) apply to the development of RI-ISI programs and for those
portions of the PRA that do apply to (RI-ISI) programs, what level of technical adequacy is needed.
EPRI report 1021467 has been reviewed to identify whether its technical justification and conclusions are also valid for the categorization of pressure boundary components for 10 CFR 50.69 purposes. That is, is a PRA that meets the requirements of 1021467 sufficient to support the categorization of pressure boundary components for 10 CFR 50.69 purposes?
As it pertains to 10 CFR 50.69, insights obtained from this review of EPRI report 1021467 include the following:
x RI-ISI and 10 CFR 50.69 both require a living program component (for example, 10 CFR 50.69(e) Feedback and Process Adjustment).
x EPRI report 1021467 was able to show that inclusion of external hazards (for example, seismic and internal fires) was not required in order to develop an RI-ISI program because their inclusion would not change the conclusions derived from the RI-ISI process. Because of the broad spectrum of programs that can be impacted by 10 CFR 50.69, this conclusion may be overly optimistic for 10 CFR 50.69 categorization purposes. However, as NEI00-4 requires that external hazards be included in the overall categorization process, they do not need to be explicitly addressed as part of this new enhanced methodology for pressure boundary components. (Note: EPRI Report 3002012988, Alternative Approaches for Addressing Seismic Risk in 10CFR50.69 Risk-Informed Categorization [13], has been developed as an alternative to NEI00-04 and is under review by NRC for the Calvert Cliffs application [14].
x EPRI report 1021467 makes several statements that key assumptions and treatment of uncertainties will not significantly impact the results of the RI-ISI program. As to 10 CFR 50.69 applications, key uncertainties and assumptions are addressed as part of the LAR process, so an explicit consideration for this new methodology is not required. (Note: NEI has developed a 10 CFR 50.69 LAR template that incorporates lessons learned from industry/NRC interactions on this topic.)
x Regarding SR IF-B2, report 1021467 noted that RI-ISI only applied to piping. 10 CFR 50.69 can also apply to tanks, gaskets, fitting, and so on. As the requirements for this SR apply to all capability categories, there is no change is needed to support 10 CFR 50.69 applications.
x SR IF-C3b deals with inter-area propagation and barriers to inter-area propagation, including penetrations, doors, walls, hatchways, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) ducts. One of the prerequisites of this enhanced methodology is that these barriers cannot be categorized as RISC-3 without an explicit evaluation of the barriers impact on the pressure boundary categorization results.
x SR IF-D6 deals with the consideration of human-induced floods. 10 CFR 50.69 categorization results (HSS or LSS) will not negatively or positively impact these actions.
In conclusion, PRA models meeting the guidance of EPRI report 1021467 taken together with the overall 10 CFR 50.69 categorization process (NEI00-04, EPRI report 3002012988 [2, 13]),
and the LAR submittal and review process provides required confidence that the plant-specific internal events PRA including IF is robust and capable of identifying any plant-specific outliers that should be defined as HSS.
Prerequisite 2 Integrity management In the context of developing an enhanced methodology for categorizing pressure boundary components for 10CFR50.69 purposes, it is important to note that approval to implement 10CFR50.69 does not absolve a Licensee from meeting other commitments related to pressure boundary integrity. For example, NEI-03-08 (Guidelines For The Management Of Materials Issues), Material Reliability Program (MRP), Boiling Water Reactor Vessel and Internals Project (BWRVIP), License Renewal / Subsequence License Renewal (SR/SLR).
Further, during the development of the risk-informed inservice inspection methodologies (RI-ISI) a number of reviews of various degradation mechanisms potentially operative in safety related and non-safety related systems was conducted. As a result of these efforts [X1 - X7], it was determined that for systems typically outside the scope of an ISI program the requirements identified below were the appropriate means of assuring pressure boundary integrity Systems/subsystems typically included with in a RI-ISI program (e.g. NRC approved code case N-716-1) that are also within the scope of the pre-determined set of HSS systems/ subsystems contained with the enhanced methodology would continue to be treated within the confines of the RI-ISI program.
Finally (d)(2) the 10CFR50.69 rule requires that the Licensee conduct periodic inspection and testing activities to determine that RISC-3 SSCs will remain capable of performing their safety-related functions under design basis conditions. For significant conditions adverse to quality, measures must be taken to provide reasonable confidence that the cause of the condition is determined and corrective action is taken to preclude repetition.
As such, application of the prerequisites below in the context of 10CFR50.69 will provide a robust mechanism for assuring pressure boundary integrity:
The following aspects address key issues associated with the reliability of passive SSCs:
x Robust program that addresses localized corrosion. The plant shall have a robust program that addresses localized corrosion (for example, pitting and microbiologically influenced corrosion that follows the guidance contained in EPRI reports TR-103403, Service Water System Corrosion and Deposition Sourcebook [15]; 3002003190, Engineering and Design Considerations for Service Water Chemical Addition Systems; [16]; TR-102063, Guide for the Examination of Service Water System Piping [17], 1010059, Service Water Piping Guideline [18], and 1016456, Recommendations for an Effective Program to Control the Degradation of Buried Pipe [19]. Program health can be determined via self-assessments, benchmarking, or peer review.
x Robust program that addresses FAC. The plant shall have a robust program to address FAC that follows the recommendations contained in EPRI report 3002000563 Recommendations for an Effective Flow-Accelerated Corrosion Program [20]. This may include the use of standardized health reports such as those developed out of NEI Efficiency Bulletin 16-34, Streamline Program Health Reporting [21].
x Robust program that addresses erosion. The plant shall have a robust program to address erosion that follows the guidance of EPRI report 3002005530, Recommendations for an Effective Program Against Erosive Attack [22]. For a number of licensees, this may be addressed as part of a license renewal commitment. Additionally, some licensees may
include erosion within their FAC program, whereas other licensees may choose to address erosion as a separate program.
Prerequisite 3 - Protective measures for IF events Protective measures for IF events (that is, floor drains, flood alarm equipment, and barriers) shall not be categorized as LSS unless additional evaluations have been conducted to show that loss of these measures, or a subset of these measures, will not invalidate the HSS determination provided in section 4.2. For example, if a submarine door has been credited in preventing a flood from exiting one flood zone into another flood zone, then that submarine door shall be considered HSS unless an evaluation has been conducted showing that loss of the submarine door will not significantly increase plant risk (i.e. exceed criterion 11, 12 or 13).
3UHGHWHUPLQHG+663DVVLYH66&V
The following section describes the scope of systems, subsystems, and piping segments that have been predetermined to be HSS. Table 4-1 also identifies the scope of predetermined components together with a listing of additional clarifications and considerations that were used in defining this scope.
HSS components shall include the following:
1. Class 1 portions of the RCPB, with the exception of the following:
a. In the event of postulated failure of the component during normal reactor operation, the reactor can be shut down and cooled down in an orderly manner, assuming makeup is provided by the reactor coolant makeup system.
b. The component is or can be isolated from the reactor coolant system by two valves in series (both closed, both open, or one closed and the other open). Each open valve must be capable of automatic actuation and, assuming the other valve is open, its closure time must be such that, in the event of postulated failure of the component during normal reactor operation, each valve remains operable and the reactor can be shut down and cooled down in an orderly manner, assuming makeup is provided by the reactor coolant makeup system only.
Note: Depending upon the plant-specific licensing basis, the above may be classified as Class 1, Class 1 exempt, or non-Class 1 (e.g. Class 2). For plants that have classified this piping as Class 1 or Class 1 exempt, consideration should be given to re-classifying this piping as other than Class 1 in order to gain the full benefit of a 10CFR50.69 application. This change would obviously need to follow the applicable commitment change control process (e.g. 10CFR50.59).
2. Applicable portions of the shutdown cooling pressure boundary function. That is, Class 1 and 2 components of systems or portions of systems needed to use the normal shutdown cooling flow path in either of the following ways:
a. As part of the RCPB from the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) to the second isolation valve (that is, farthest from the RPV) capable of remote closure, or to the containment penetration, whichever encompasses the larger number of welds b. As part of other systems or portions of systems from the RPV to the second isolation valve (that is, farthest from the RPV) capable of remote closure or to the containment penetration, whichever encompasses the larger number of welds 3. Class 2 portions of steam generators and Class 2 feedwater system components greater than nominal pipe size (NPS) 4 (DN 100) of pressurized water reactors (PWRs) from the steam generator to the outer containment isolation valve.
4. Components larger than NPS 4 (DN 100) within the break exclusion region (BER) for high-energy piping systems, as applicable.
5. Portions of the ultimate heat sink (UHS) flow path (for example, service water) whose failures will fail both trains (that is, unisolable failure of the UHS function). (Note: even if piping is isolated/independent, structures such as the service water pumphouse [for example, reservoir, bay] would be expected to be HSS.)
6. Tanks/vessels and connected piping and components up to the first isolation valve that support/provide inventory to multiple systems/functions (for example, refueling water storage tank [RWST] and containment sump for PWRs, suppression pool [SP] for boiling water reactors [BWRs]).
7. Condensate storage tank (CST) for auxiliary feedwater (AFW)/emergency feedwater (EFW) in a PWR unless there is a redundant independent reliable source (for example, auto switchover to service water supply to each train of AFW/EFW suction). This includes connected piping greater than 4 in. (101.6 mm) up to the first isolation valve in the AFW/EFW protected volume of the CST.
8. For PWR plants, low-volume, intermediate safety systems that typically consist of two physically independent trains (for example, component cooling water [CCW]) that are, on a plant-specific basis, physically connected. For example, loss of pressure boundary integrity of train A will drain train B as well.
9. Heat exchangers that if they fail (for example, tube or tubesheet failures) could allow reactor coolant to bypass primary containment while the plant is at-power or during shutdown).
10.Other heat exchangersif not explicitly addressed in 11 through 13 below, other heat exchangers should be evaluated to determine if component failure (for example, tube or tubesheet) may impact multiple systems. If yes, the methodology and criteria of [5, 6] shall be used to determine HSS versus LSS assignment.
11.Any piping or component, (including piping segments or components grouped or subsumed within existing plant initiating event groups, (e.g. main feedwater breaks inside containment, main steam line breaks outside containment, service water flooding events, interfacing system LOCA) whose contributions to CDF is greater than 1E-06/year, or whose contribution to LERF is greater than 1E-07/year, based upon a plant-specific PRA model that
includes pressure boundary failures (for example, pipe whip, jet impingement, spray, and inventory losses).
12.Any piping or component, (including piping segments or components grouped or subsumed within existing plant initiating event groups, (e.g. main feedwater breaks inside containment, main steam line breaks outside containment, service water flooding events, interfacing system LOCA) whose contributions to CDF is greater than 1E-08/year and the product of its CDF contribution times its associated CCDP is greater than 1E-08/year, based upon a plant-specific PRA of pressure boundary failures (for example, pipe whip, jet impingement, spray, and inventory losses). (See Figure 4-1.)

13.Any piping or component, (including piping segments or components grouped or subsumed within existing plant initiating event groups, (e.g. main feedwater breaks inside containment, main steam line breaks outside containment, service water flooding events, interfacing system LOCA) whose contributions to LERF is greater than 1E-09/year and the product of its LERF contribution times its associated CLERP is greater than 1E-09/year, based upon a plant-specific PRA of pressure boundary failures (for example, pipe whip, jet impingement, spray, and inventory losses). (See Figure 4-2.)
For criterion 11, 12 and 13, care should be taken in reviewing the PRA results so that total contribution to CDF and LERF are compared to the risk metrics. For example, separate scenarios of spray, moderate flood and large flood based on different plant impacts should be combined so

For purposes of applying criterion Nos. 11, 12 and 13, the definition of a pipe segment is not a function of whether it was categorized as HSS or LSS per criterion Nos. 1 through 10. That is, even if a piping segment, or a portion of a pipe segment, is HSS per one of the first ten of the criteria above, the impact on risk due to its postulated failure is determined consistent with industry guidance (e.g., PRA standard, EPRI 1019194).
While ASME Code Case N-660 is referenced in NEI 00-04, it should be noted that all 10CFR50.69 submittals approved to date reference the ANO2-R&R-004 methodology (RI-RRA) for categorizing pressure boundary components. The technical basis for the ANO RI-RRA methodology is EPRI TR-112657, Rev B-A which is also codified in ASME Code Case N-578 and Appendix R, Supplement 2. A streamlined version of which in contained in NRC endorsed ASME Code Case N-716.
While slightly different in wording each of these approaches as to piping segments have the same purpose. That is, to group pressure retaining items (e.g., welds, valve bodies, pipe runs, etc.) by common consequence.
In its simplest application, if postulated failure of the entire system (direct and indirect effects) had the same consequence (e.g., causes an initiating event X), then only a single segment would need to be defined. However, from a practical perspective this is typically not the case and the system would be divided into segments as the postulated consequence of failure changes. This
segmentation can be caused by a multitude of impacts such as different trains within the system (e.g., train A versus train B), piping located in different parts of the plant (e.g. flood area C versus flood area D), piping in the same train and same plant area but a portion is upstream of an isolation valve and the other portion is downstream of an isolation.
14.Piping/component support boundaries. Any of the following options may be used:
a. Supports (for example, component support, hanger, or snubber) may remain un-categorized until a need has been identified (for example, a significant repair/replacement or modification is required).
b. A component support, hanger, or snubber shall have the same categorization as the highest ranked piping segment within the piping analytical model in which the support is included.
c. A combination of restraints or supports such that the LSS piping and associated SSCs attached to the HSS piping are included in scope up to a boundary point that encompasses at least two supports in each of three orthogonal directions [23, 24].
Systems, subsystems, and segments that meet any of the above criteria in the are to be categorized HSS. All other safety-related and non-safety-related systems, subsystems, and components not classified as HSS in accordance with the preceding list shall be categorized LSS.
With respect to categorizing supports (for example, component support, hanger, or snubber) there has been considerable discussion as whether support should be included within a system boundary. The 10CFR50.69 rule allows the Licensees to define the system boundaries and then all components within that system boundary would need to be included in that systems categorization. Currently approved 10CFR50.69 LARs are using the ANO2-R&R-004 [Z]
methodology, which can be applied to Class 2 and 3 pressure retaining items or their associated supports. As such, component supports, hangers, or snubbers need not be included within a system categorization. Additionally, the example system categorization provided by ANO2 to NRC during RAIs for the relief request included pressure boundary components only. That is, component supports, hangers, or snubbers were not included within the system boundary categorization.
Consistent with this approach, the enhanced methodology does not require component supports, hangers, or snubbers be categorized as part of categorizing the pressure boundary function. The exception to this is when the enhanced methodology identifies non-safety related pressure boundary components as high safety significant. In this case once the categorization is approved by the IDP panel, 50.69(d) requires that the licensee ensure that RISC-2 SSCs perform their functions consistent with the categorization process assumptions by evaluating treatment being applied to these SSCs to ensure that it supports the key assumptions in the categorization process that relate to their assumed performance. Thus, this review should include an assessment of the supports once RISC-2 SSCs are identified.

Application of criteria 11, 12 and 13 identifies plant-specific pressure boundary components that are not assigned to the generic HSS category but that may be risk-significant at a particular plant.
Criterion 11 of the enhanced methodology requires that any piping or component whose contribution to CDF (LERF) greater than 1E-6/year (1E-7/year) be assigned to the HSS category.
As discussed in the Grand Gulf and DC Cook Safety Evaluation Reports for their ASME Code Case N-716 relief requests [X, Y], these guideline values (1E-6 / 1E-7) are suitably small and consistent with the decision guidelines for acceptable changes in CDF and LERF found in NRC endorsed EPRI TR-112657, Rev B-A. Criterion 11 was added as a defense-in-depth measure to provide a method of ensuring that any plant-specific locations that are important to safety are identified. Criterion 11 is only used to add HSS segments and not, for example, to remove system parts generically assigned to the HSS in criterion 1 through 10.
To further the goal of defense-in-depth beyond that previously found acceptable, criterion 12 and 13 were developed and added to the enhanced methodology to conservatively increase the confidence that somewhat important pressure boundary components would not be missed on a plant-specific basis. By incorporating CCDP/CLERP (conditional core dame probability /
conditional large early release probability) metrics these measures also provide additional balance between prevention and mitigative. That is, components cannot be assigned to the LSS population based solely on low failure likelihood, unless that likelihood is remote. That is, less than 1E-08 CDF and less than 1E-09 LERF. Similar to criterion 11, criterions 12 and 13 were added to provide additional means of ensuring that any plant-specific locations that are important to safety are identified. Criterion 12 and 13, are used to add HSS segments and not, for example, to remove system parts generically assigned to the HSS in criterion 1 through 10. Finally, 10CFR50.69(d)(2) requires that Licensees ensure, with reasonable confidence, that RISC-3 SSCs remain capable of performing their safety-related functions under design basis conditions, including seismic conditions and environmental conditions and effects throughout their service life.
Criterion 11, 12 and 13 provides confidence that the goal of identifying the more risk-significant locations is met while permitting the use of generic HSS system parts identification to simplify and standardize the evaluation. Satisfying the guidelines in criterion 11, 12 and 13 requires confidence that the PRA (internal event PRA, internal flooding PRA) is capable of identifying the significant contributors to risk that are not included in the generic results. RG 1.200 states that meeting the attributes of an NRC-endorsed industry PRA standard may be used to demonstrate that a PRA is adequate to support a risk-informed application. RG 1.200 further states that an acceptable approach that can be used to ensure technical adequacy would trigger a peer review of the PRA. As discussed in Prerequisite #1, a robust plant-specific PRA is required to implement this enhanced methodology.
Table 5-3 below provides examples of industry experience of pressure boundary components that exceeded the 1E-6 / 1E-7 metrics. This table provides examples of safety improvements that have been brought about by voluntary implementation of criterion 11 on other risk-informed applications. It is expected that use of criterion 12 and 13 together with criterion 11 will provide additional safety improvements.
