In the referenced letter STP Nuclear Operating Company (STPNOC) proposed to submit a risk informed approach consisting of comprehensive and robust probabilistic models of phenomena related to the sequence of events from a postulated pipe break to the recirculation phase of sump strainer performance.
STPNOCs proposed application will apply risk insights to calculate the changes in risk, including Core Damage Frequency (CDF) and Large Early Release Frequency (LERF), from the actual plant configuration with debris generating insulation installed and with it removed. STPNOC provided additional detail regarding the proposed risk informed approach during public meetings on 27 January, 2011 and 22 February, 2011. This detail included the project team makeup, the phenomena to be modeled, the codes to be used for the modeling, and how the results and associated uncertainties would be integrated.
