The four changes listed below were previously identified in the fifth six month update.
Change 1:
General Integrated Plan Elements BWR - Provide a sequence of events and identify any time constraint required for success including the technical basis for the time constraint. - Item 3; Control Room crew has assessed SBO and plant conditions and declares an Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP) event.
2of10
Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Sixth Six Month Status Report for the Implementation of FLEX February 2016 Reason for Change:
- A review of the timeline and procedure actions has determined the declaration of an ELAP event does not have to occur until 60 minutes into the event. Actions from the SBO procedure will be sufficient to guide the crew actions and deployment of equipment.
Change 2:
General Integrated Plan Elements BWR - Provide a sequence of events and identify any time constraint required for success including the technical basis for the time constraint. - Items 8 and 15; Continue to maintain critical functions of core cooling (via IC and FLEX Pump injection), containment (via Isolation Condensers) and SFP cooling (FLEX pump injection to SFP).
Reason for Change:
- The MAAP analysis (Reference 7) used to predict the peak containment parameters and establish the timing for possible containment venting has been revised. The revised MAAP does not indicate the need for containment venting. Revision 1 adds one (1) additional MAAP case that alters the time of external RPV injection and adjusts isolation condenser operation strategy to prevent collapsed water level in the RPV shroud from dropping below TAF.
o An assumption in the MAAP is the containment vent is opened when RPV level reaches TAF or to stay below the 35 psig containment design pressure as specified in each scenario. Each scenario was reviewed and Cases 5 through 7 require no containment venting. Case 7 will be used to establish the timeline for this event.
Change 3:
General Integrated Plan Elements BWR - Provide a sequence of events and identify any time constraint required for success including the technical basis for the time constraint. - Item 12; Commence injecting into the reactor using the FLEX pump and restore level to the normal band.
Reason for Change:
- The MAAP analysis (Reference 7) used to predict the peak containment parameters and establish the timing for possible containment venting has been revised. The revised MAAP does not indicate the need for containment venting. Revision 1 adds one (1) additional MAAP case that alters the time of external RPV injection and adjusts isolation condenser operation strategy to prevent collapsed water level in the RPV shroud from dropping below TAF.
o An assumption in the MAAP analysis (Reference 7, Case 7) is the FLEX pump injection into the RPV is at 3.3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> (100 gpm at 160 psig). Prior Case 6 resulted in the collapsed water level in the RPV shroud dropping below TAF for a short period of time. This was the result of RPV water inventory contraction due to the simultaneous operation of both ICs at t=3.8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />. Case 7 provides a strategy that prevents collapsed shroud level from dropping below TAF by initiating external RPV injection earlier (3.3. hours versus 3.8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> for Case 6) and delay of simultaneous IC operation until the normal RPV water level recovers sometime after 3.3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br />.
Change 4:
The following changes were made to the Overall Integrated Plan (OIP) conceptual drawings submitted in the Second Six-Month Status Report (Reference 4) to reflect present design:
3 of 10
Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Sixth Six Month Status Report for the Implementation of FLEX February 2016
- Addition of Core Spray System 2 for core injection for improved control of Reactor water level per ECR OC-14-00025.
- Removal of Feedwater (FW) System for core injection due to inability of available flow to open the FW Check valves and, due to high flow rates causing difficulty in managing Reactor water level per ECR-OC-14-00025.
- Removal of Containment Spray System for injection due to the flow path delivering flow rates that are not high enough to fill the spray headers per ECR-OC-14-00025.

- 6. Potential Draft Safety Evaluation Impacts Note: No additional Potential Draft Safety Evaluation Impacts were identified in this update. The Potential Draft Safety Evaluation Impact stated below was previously identified in the fifth six month update.
ECR (Engineering Change Request) OC 14-00025 update to the Oyster Creek Interim Staff Response (Reference ML14030A513) related to the DIP for makeup to the Reactor Vessel and Recirculation Pump's seal leakage states the following:
"Make up to the Reactor Vessel is commenced 3.3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> (based on the revised MAAP run, Reference 5 to ECR QC 14-00025) from the start of the event. The flow rate credited by the MAAP is 100 gpm. It is postulated that this flow rate will be delivered, at the same time as the makeup to the Isolation Condensers (IC). This is a reasonable maximum requirement as the Isolation Condenser makeup will be cycled on and off as needed and RPV makeup will be slowed considerably when Reactor Level is brought back into its normal band.
Once re-established, the amount of makeup is to account for inventory loss. A maximum make up flow of 50 gpm to the Reactor Pressure Vessel is required to keep the core covered. This is derived from a 5 gpm leak rate from each of the five Reactor Recirculation Pumps' seals when the pumps stop because of the Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP) that is postulated. (5 pumps X 5 gpm = 25 gpm total).
The leakage rate is derived from Atomic Energy Canada Limited (AECL) reports ET-S-331, Testing of the CAN2A Seal Cartridge under Station Blackout Conditions, and ET-S-426, Testing of the CAN2A Seal Cartridge under Station Blackout Conditions - Phase 2 (References 2.9 and 2.9A to ECR OC 14-00025).
Note that the AECL reports were done for Nine Mile Point. The Recirculation Pumps at Oyster Creek use the same AECL seals. Attachment 12 to ECR OC 14-00025 provides data that the Nine Mile Point Unit 1 seals use the same design as Oyster Creek.
To the 25 gpm, the normal allowable leak rate is added. Tech Spec 3.3.D, allows a 5 gpm Unidentified Leakage limit and a 25 gpm Total (Identified + Unidentified) leakage limit. Therefore, makeup rate is 50 gpm. Further, four of the five Reactor Recirculation pumps will be isolated (per the time line in the OIP) at three hours. Therefore, actual lost inventory at three hours postulating maximum Tech Spec allowable leakage is 30 gpm."

The four changes listed below were previously identified in the fifth six month update.
Change 1:
General Integrated Plan Elements BWR - Provide a sequence of events and identify any time constraint required for success including the technical basis for the time constraint. - Item 3; Control Room crew has assessed SBO and plant conditions and declares an Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP) event.
2of10
Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Sixth Six Month Status Report for the Implementation of FLEX February 2016 Reason for Change:
- A review of the timeline and procedure actions has determined the declaration of an ELAP event does not have to occur until 60 minutes into the event. Actions from the SBO procedure will be sufficient to guide the crew actions and deployment of equipment.
Change 2:
General Integrated Plan Elements BWR - Provide a sequence of events and identify any time constraint required for success including the technical basis for the time constraint. - Items 8 and 15; Continue to maintain critical functions of core cooling (via IC and FLEX Pump injection), containment (via Isolation Condensers) and SFP cooling (FLEX pump injection to SFP).
Reason for Change:
- The MAAP analysis (Reference 7) used to predict the peak containment parameters and establish the timing for possible containment venting has been revised. The revised MAAP does not indicate the need for containment venting. Revision 1 adds one (1) additional MAAP case that alters the time of external RPV injection and adjusts isolation condenser operation strategy to prevent collapsed water level in the RPV shroud from dropping below TAF.
o An assumption in the MAAP is the containment vent is opened when RPV level reaches TAF or to stay below the 35 psig containment design pressure as specified in each scenario. Each scenario was reviewed and Cases 5 through 7 require no containment venting. Case 7 will be used to establish the timeline for this event.
Change 3:
General Integrated Plan Elements BWR - Provide a sequence of events and identify any time constraint required for success including the technical basis for the time constraint. - Item 12; Commence injecting into the reactor using the FLEX pump and restore level to the normal band.
Reason for Change:
- The MAAP analysis (Reference 7) used to predict the peak containment parameters and establish the timing for possible containment venting has been revised. The revised MAAP does not indicate the need for containment venting. Revision 1 adds one (1) additional MAAP case that alters the time of external RPV injection and adjusts isolation condenser operation strategy to prevent collapsed water level in the RPV shroud from dropping below TAF.
o An assumption in the MAAP analysis (Reference 7, Case 7) is the FLEX pump injection into the RPV is at 3.3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> (100 gpm at 160 psig). Prior Case 6 resulted in the collapsed water level in the RPV shroud dropping below TAF for a short period of time. This was the result of RPV water inventory contraction due to the simultaneous operation of both ICs at t=3.8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />. Case 7 provides a strategy that prevents collapsed shroud level from dropping below TAF by initiating external RPV injection earlier (3.3. hours versus 3.8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> for Case 6) and delay of simultaneous IC operation until the normal RPV water level recovers sometime after 3.3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br />.
Change 4:
The following changes were made to the Overall Integrated Plan (OIP) conceptual drawings submitted in the Second Six-Month Status Report (Reference 4) to reflect present design:
3 of 10
Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Sixth Six Month Status Report for the Implementation of FLEX February 2016
- Addition of Core Spray System 2 for core injection for improved control of Reactor water level per ECR OC-14-00025.
- Removal of Feedwater (FW) System for core injection due to inability of available flow to open the FW Check valves and, due to high flow rates causing difficulty in managing Reactor water level per ECR-OC-14-00025.
- Removal of Containment Spray System for injection due to the flow path delivering flow rates that are not high enough to fill the spray headers per ECR-OC-14-00025.

- 6. Potential Draft Safety Evaluation Impacts Note: No additional Potential Draft Safety Evaluation Impacts were identified in this update. The Potential Draft Safety Evaluation Impact stated below was previously identified in the fifth six month update.
ECR (Engineering Change Request) OC 14-00025 update to the Oyster Creek Interim Staff Response (Reference ML14030A513) related to the DIP for makeup to the Reactor Vessel and Recirculation Pump's seal leakage states the following:
"Make up to the Reactor Vessel is commenced 3.3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> (based on the revised MAAP run, Reference 5 to ECR QC 14-00025) from the start of the event. The flow rate credited by the MAAP is 100 gpm. It is postulated that this flow rate will be delivered, at the same time as the makeup to the Isolation Condensers (IC). This is a reasonable maximum requirement as the Isolation Condenser makeup will be cycled on and off as needed and RPV makeup will be slowed considerably when Reactor Level is brought back into its normal band.
Once re-established, the amount of makeup is to account for inventory loss. A maximum make up flow of 50 gpm to the Reactor Pressure Vessel is required to keep the core covered. This is derived from a 5 gpm leak rate from each of the five Reactor Recirculation Pumps' seals when the pumps stop because of the Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP) that is postulated. (5 pumps X 5 gpm = 25 gpm total).
The leakage rate is derived from Atomic Energy Canada Limited (AECL) reports ET-S-331, Testing of the CAN2A Seal Cartridge under Station Blackout Conditions, and ET-S-426, Testing of the CAN2A Seal Cartridge under Station Blackout Conditions - Phase 2 (References 2.9 and 2.9A to ECR OC 14-00025).
Note that the AECL reports were done for Nine Mile Point. The Recirculation Pumps at Oyster Creek use the same AECL seals. Attachment 12 to ECR OC 14-00025 provides data that the Nine Mile Point Unit 1 seals use the same design as Oyster Creek.
To the 25 gpm, the normal allowable leak rate is added. Tech Spec 3.3.D, allows a 5 gpm Unidentified Leakage limit and a 25 gpm Total (Identified + Unidentified) leakage limit. Therefore, makeup rate is 50 gpm. Further, four of the five Reactor Recirculation pumps will be isolated (per the time line in the OIP) at three hours. Therefore, actual lost inventory at three hours postulating maximum Tech Spec allowable leakage is 30 gpm."
