dated August 18, 2017 (ML17216A006)
By letter dated March 27, 2013 (Reference 1), Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) for Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant (BFN), Units 1, 2, and 3, to transition to National Fire Protection Association Standard (NFPA) 805. By letter dated June 19, 2015 (Reference 2), TVA provided an update to Reference 1. By letter dated August 18, 2015 (Reference 3), TVA provided an update to information provided in Reference 2. By letter dated September 8, 2015 (Reference 4), TVA provided revised Tables S-2 and S-3 in their entirety.
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission CNL-17-109 Page 3 September 18, 2017 The NRC issued a Safety Evaluation (SE) on October 28, 2015 (Reference 5) regarding Transition to a Risk-Informed, Performance-Based Fire Protection Program in Accordance with 10 CFR 50.48(c). The SE included a statement that, The licensee shall implement the following modifications to its facility as described in Attachment S, Table S-2, Plant Modifications. Likewise, the SE also included a statement that, The licensee shall complete the implementation items as listed in Table S-3, Implementation Items.
During the implementation of modifications identified in the TVA NFPA 805 program, TVA determined that clarifications and revisions were required to certain NFPA 805 modifications (Reference 7). This letter identified one request to clarify and two requests to delete identified NFPA 805 changes. Two requested changes revise Table S-2, and one requested change revises Table S-3.
In Reference 8, NRC issued a request for additional information (RAI) based on information provided in Reference 7. Enclosure 1 of this letter provides TVAs response to that RAI.
Based on the TVA discussion with NRC on August 31, 2017, Implementation Item 09 regarding the requirement on the length of flexible conduit is restored to Attachment S, Table S-3, and a note is added to Table S-3 that is consistent with the request contained in Reference 7. In addition, as a result of the recent NRC approval of the BFN Extended Power Uprate (EPU) (Reference 6), Implementation Item 49 is being deleted from Attachment S, Table S-3.
The NRC approval of the BFN EPU also added a letter reference to NFPA 805 Transition License Condition 3 of the BFN Operating Licenses; the letter reference is no longer needed and as such, is being removed by this LAR. Also, as a result of the TVA discussion with NRC staff on August 31, 2017, a reference to the second part of Implementation Item 47 from Attachment S, Table S-3 is being included in the changes to the NFPA 805 Transition License Condition 3 of the BFN Operating Licenses.
The revised pages and clean typed pages of the BFN Operating Licenses are provided in Enclosures 2 and 3, respectively. The appropriate Operating License Conditions were modified for consistency with the above changes, and to add a reference to the original LAR (Reference 7), this letter, and a place holder for the revised safety evaluation. provides a revised Attachment S, Table S-3 in its entirety that replaces the previously submitted Table S-3.
TVA has determined that there are no changes to the significant hazards consideration associated with the proposed changes in Reference 7 and still qualifies for a categorical exclusion from environmental review pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9).
Additionally, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.91(b)(1), TVA is sending a copy of this letter and enclosures, to the Alabama State Department of Public Health.
Enclosure 1 Tennessee Valley Authority Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3 Response to RAIs Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA)-Request for Addition Information (RAI) 01 In Enclosure 1 of the licensee's letter dated June 7, 2017, the licensee provided its basis for the proposed changes.
In Change Request 1, the licensee proposed to revise Table S-2 Plant Modifications 52a and 52b (PM-52a and b) to clarify the modification descriptions.
The licensee proposed to change PM-52a from: "For Drywell wide range pressure instruments P-64-160A and B, provide isolation of associated circuits and make appropriate power supply available such that both division instruments are not lost in the same fire scenario," to "Modify power supplies and associated circuits for drywell pressure indication instruments such that indication is available in the MCR [main control room] for all fire scenarios except those in Fire Area (FA) 16."
The licensee proposed to change PM-52b from: "Provide containment pressure indication on the Backup Control Panel," to "Provide isolation from circuits in FA 16 for containment pressure indication on the Backup Control Panel."
In Change Request 2, the licensee proposed to delete Plant Modification 84 (PM-
- 84) from Table S-2. Modification 84 reduced the time overcurrent setting (TOC) for breakers 1126, 1132, 1226, and 1232 in the offsite power circuits so that the breakers would trip prior to incurring any thermal damage. Thus, the modification would enable subsequent recovery actions to clear the spurious loads and reclose the off-site power breakers. Competing design elements were identified during the design process that limit the amount that the TOC settings could be reduced.
NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4.2, requires that the "use of fire risk evaluation for the PB [performance-based] approach shall consist of an integrated assessment of the acceptability of risk, defense-in-depth, and safety margins."
In the risk impact discussion for the proposed Change Request 1, the licensee stated that "the final modification is expected to be equal to or better than the modification originally described in Table S-2 of the NFPA 805 LAR with respect to fire risk."
In the risk impact discussion for the proposed Change Request 2, the licensee calculated the change in risk and total risk for Units 1, 2, and 3. However, the licensee did not evaluate the change in risk from the compliant NFPA 805 PRA model, and thus did not establish that Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.174, "An Approach for Using Probabilistic Risk Assessment in Risk-Informed Decisions on Plant-Specific Changes to the Licensing Basis," Revision 2, (ADAMS Accession No. ML100910006), guidelines would have been met if the proposed configurations had been part of the NFPA 805 LAR upon which the NRC staff safety evaluation (SE) was based.
CNL-17-109 E1 Page 1
Enclosure 1 Tennessee Valley Authority Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3 Response to RAIs A. Provide the change in core damage frequency (CDF) and large early release frequency (LERF), and total CDF and LERF for Units 1, 2, and 3 with both Change Requests 1 and 2 integrated simultaneously into the PRA results for the transition plant.
(1) Calculate the change in risk using the compliant PRA model supporting the NFPA 805 SE, adjusted for Change Requests 1 and 2 as appropriate. Summarize any changes made to the compliant PRA model due to proposed Change Requests 1 and 2. Alternately, provide a justification for the choice of another compliant PRA model.
(2) Indicate how the risk from these plant changes compares with the guidelines in RG 1.174, Revision 2.
B. Confirm that Option A of the NRC letter to Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI),
"Recommended Content for License Amendment Requests that Seek Changes to License Conditions that were Established in Amendments to Adopt National Fire Protection Association Standard 805, but Have Yet to be Fully Implemented," dated March 2, 2016 (ADAMS Accession No. ML16015A416), is still appropriate for this proposed LAR, given the new risk analysis to be performed. If not, provide the necessary information for Option B or C, whichever is appropriate.
BACKGROUND DISCUSSION of MODIFICATION 52 The objective of Modification 52 is to make at least one drywell pressure indication available in each fire scenario for the purpose of supporting operator actions to vent the containment using the Hardened Wetwell Vent (HWWV). Note that each Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant (BFN) unit has four instrument loops providing drywell pressure indication:
P-64-50, P-64-67B, P-64-160A and P-64-160B. There were three separate fire separation issues with the pre-transition plant design requiring modification and there are three separate modifications, Modifications 52a, 52b, and 52c to address them.
Modification 52a Drywell pressure loops P-64-160 A and B had common power supply/associated circuit issues resulting in numerous fire damage vulnerabilities. Modification 52a changed the power supply for these two loops on each unit as part of a Fukushima battery backed instrumentation modification, which resolved the associated circuit power supply failures for these loops. Modification 52a has been completed on all three BFN units (U1R11, U2R18, and U3R17).
CNL-17-109 E1 Page 2
Enclosure 1 Tennessee Valley Authority Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3 Response to RAIs Modification 52b For fires in the control building, Fire Area (FA) 16, drywell pressure loop P-64-50, located at the Backup Control Panel, is credited to support use of the HWWV. However, drywell pressure loop P-64-50 was not properly isolated from cables and equipment located in FA 16. Modification 52b adds an isolator that prevents fire damage in FA 16 from affecting the indication on the Backup Control Panel. Modification 52b was implemented on BFN Units 1 and 2 (U1R11 and U2R19) and is scheduled to be implemented on BFN Unit 3 (U3R18) in Spring 2018.
Modification 52c Separation in the reactor buildings was not adequate to ensure one drywell pressure loop was available for each fire scenario in those fire areas. Modification 52c re-routes cables associated with loop P-64-160A within the reactor buildings to resolve this issue.
Modification 52c has been implemented on BFN Units 1 and 2 (U1R11 and U2R19) and is scheduled to be implemented on BFN Unit 3 (U3R18) in Spring 2018.
RESPONSE TO PART A.1 Post-Transition Plant CDF/LERF The post transition model that was utilized to calculate the fire CDF and LERF presented in Reference 1, Enclosure 1 was updated with the following changes:
- 1. The PRA fault tree was modified to correctly model the failure of shutdown busses and shutdown boards resulting from overload. The model used for the BFN NFPA 805 LAR was non-conservative in that the Fire PRA logic did not recognize that overload of a Unit 1/2 4.16kV Shutdown Board could result in an overload of the normally connected 4.16kV Shutdown Bus. As a result, the PRA model did not recognize that an overload condition on one shutdown board could also cause the loss of offsite power (OSP) to the second shutdown board supplied from the same shutdown bus. In order to quantify the risk worth of Modification 84, a corrected base model was created such that the loss of a shutdown board due to spurious overloading would cause the loss of the second shutdown board supplied from the same shutdown bus.
- 2. Credit for Modification 84 was removed from the model.
CNL-17-109 E1 Page 3
Enclosure 1 Tennessee Valley Authority Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3 Response to RAIs
- 3. Modeling of the drywell pressure loops due to Modifications 52a, 52b, and 52c was as-constructed on BFN Units 1 and 2 and as-designed on BFN Unit 3 in cases where the modifications had not been implemented.
This model was used to calculate the post-transition fire risk values shown in Table 1 for changes to Modifications 52 and 84 combined.
Compliant Plant CDF/LERF The analysis performed for this RAI response utilizes the NFPA 805 final compliant plant risk results from Reference 1 in lieu of re-calculating the compliant plant CDF and LERF. The results of the compliant model by definition do not change based on the NFPA 805 modifications as explained in LAR Attachment W, Section W.2.1. Therefore, changes to how Modification 52 is modeled and removal of Modification 84 from the compliant model would not affect the results. The modeling corrections that were made to the post-transition model to properly evaluate the risk worth of Modification 84, explained above, would affect the compliant model results by making the compliant risk increase due to the failure of off-site power to the additional 4.16kV Shutdown Board. A larger compliant plant risk would result in a smaller post-transition delta risk comparison. Therefore, utilizing the compliant plant risk numbers, as previously submitted in Reference 1, is conservative in all cases with respect to compliance with RG 1.174 in that they yield a larger transition delta risk, which is appropriate for use in justifying the requested changes.
-Risk of Transition
-risk values were calculated using the same methodology used in the NFPA 805 LAR.
Deterministically compliant fire areas are not included in the total for each BFN unit. The post transition risk calculated with the corrected model is compared with the compliant plant risk calculated using the compliant model used for the NFPA 805 LAR, excluding fire areas that were deterministically compliant.

- Deterministically compliant fire areas are noted in LAR Attachment W, Tables W-8, W-9 and W-10 as follows:
Fire Area 24, 25-02, 25-03, and SWITCH for Unit 1 are deterministically compliant and, therefore, the delta CDF and LERF values are not applicable.
Fire Area 24, 25-02, 25-03, and SWITCH for Unit 2 are deterministically compliant and, therefore, the delta CDF and LERF values are not applicable.
Fire Area SWITCH for Unit 3 is deterministically compliant and, therefore, the delta CDF and LERF values are not applicable.

Enclosure 1 Tennessee Valley Authority Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3 Response to RAIs PRA RAI 02 In the Defense-in-Depth/Safety Margin Discussion for the proposed change 1, the licensee stated that "the changes to drywell pressure instrumentation made available through PM-52 (a, b, and c) do not affect any defense-in-depth (DID) or Safety Margin."
NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4.2, requires that the "use of fire risk evaluation for the PB approach shall consist of an integrated assessment of the acceptability of risk, defense-in-depth, and safety margins."
NEI 04-02, "Guidance for Implementing a Risk-Informed, Performance-Based Fire Protection Program Under 10 CFR 50.48(c)," Revision 2 (ADAMS Accession No. ML081130188), Section 5.3.5.3, "Safety Margins," lists two specific criteria that should be addressed when considering the impact of plant changes on safety margins:
- Codes and standards or their alternatives accepted for use by the NRC are met; and,
- Safety analysis acceptance criteria in the licensing basis (e.g., FSAR
[Final Safety Analysis Report], supporting analyses, etc.) are met, or provides sufficient margin to account for analysis and data uncertainty.
Based on the information provided by the licensee, the NRC is unable to complete its review because the application did not provide sufficient information regarding the acceptability of DID and safety margins for this proposed change. Provide the following:
A. A discussion regarding DID that includes the basis for why the proposed changes do not impact each echelon of DID.
B. A discussion of safety margins that includes the basis for why the proposed changes do not impact the safety margin criteria discussed in NEI 04-02.
CNL-17-109 E1 Page 7
Enclosure 1 Tennessee Valley Authority Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3 Response to RAIs TVA Response to PRA RAI 02:
A. Defense-in-Depth (DID)
The purpose of Modification 52 is to provide at least one drywell pressure instrument for each fire scenario. Drywell pressure indication is used to support operator actions to vent the containment using HWWV, serving as one of the options to achieve the Decay Heat Removal performance criteria. Drywell pressure indication and operation of the HWWV are not related to Echelon 1, preventing fires, or Echelon 2, detecting and extinguishing fires.
Drywell pressure indication is related to Echelon 3, providing adequate level of fire protection for structures, systems, and components important to safety; so that a fire that is not promptly extinguished will not prevent essential plant safety functions from being performed. If fires are not promptly extinguished, Modification 52 ensures, through separation and electrical isolation, that drywell pressure indication free of fire damage would be available should operation of the HWWV for decay heat removal be required. This change continues to provide an appropriate balance between the three echelons of DID.
B. Safety Margin The instruments affected by Modification 52 and the requested changes to Modifications 52a and 52b are classified as nuclear safety related and designed to applicable codes and standards. The Fire PRA utilized to evaluate changes to Modification 52, including fire modeling, applies the same methodologies and inherent safety margins that were utilized for the risk values provided in Reference 1. The evaluation of plant system performance related to the use of drywell pressure indication and operation of the HWWV was not changed. Therefore, safety margin, as discussed in NEI 04-02, is not affected by these changes.
PRA RAI 03 In the DID/Safety Margin Discussion for the proposed Change Request 2, the licensee stated that "non-implementation of PM-84 does not affect DID Echelons 2 or 3." No basis is cited for its conclusion with respect to Echelon 3, "Provide adequate level of fire protection for systems and structures so that a fire will not prevent essential safety functions from being performed," even though the removal of the PM-84 no longer prevents the failure of the offsite power supply to inventory makeup and decay heat removal systems for the fire-induced spurious operation cited in the discussion on this modification.
NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4.2, requires that the "use of fire risk evaluation for the PB approach shall consist of an integrated assessment of the acceptability of risk, defense-in-depth, and safety margins."
CNL-17-109 E1 Page 8
Enclosure 1 Tennessee Valley Authority Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3 Response to RAIs Provide a justification that Echelon 3 of DID is still sufficiently robust after removal of modification, PM-84.
Deletion of PM-84 will no longer allow credit for Operator recovery of one success path that could have been used to recover Offsite Power to Shutdown Busses in scenarios involving fire induced overload. The Shutdown Busses would support core cooling and decay heat removal success criteria. Other modifications being installed, specifically the Emergency High Pressure Makeup Pump (PM-35) and the Hardened Wetwell Vent (PM-51 and PM-103), are capable of performing these functions and do not depend on recovery of OSP.
Additionally, other NFPA 805 modifications reduce the instances of spurious operation that contribute to Shutdown Bus overload, specifically removal of local control stations for 4kV equipment (PM-5, PM-28a and PM 28b). Therefore, Echelon 3 of DID remains sufficiently robust after removal of modification PM-84 to maintain a balance between the three Echelons.
