External Flood Hazard Assessment:
Braidwood Station UFSAR Rev. 14 (Ref. 2) addresses additional flooding mechanisms that are either not critical or not bounding for Braidwood.
External Flooding is not applicable per NEI 12-06 Rev.0 (Ref.

Braidwood UFSAR Rev. 14 (Ref. 4), states that the plant grade elevation is at 600.0 feet and the grade floors of the safety related building are at elevation 601.0 feet. The Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) along the Kankakee River, Mason River and Granary Creek do not affect the site, since the maximum water surface elevations are 561.3, 582 and 576 feet respectively: the peak elevations are a minimum of 18 feet below the plant safety related facilities grade of 600 feet.
The probable maximum precipitation (PIMP) falling on the plant area was considered in the analysis of local intense precipitation on the plant site. The maximum water level is elevation 601.91.

To prevent water due to PMP from entering areas where essential equipment/systems are located, reinforced concrete curbs or steel barriers are provided (Ref. 4).
Huh Wind Hazard Assessment:
NEI 12-06 Rev. 0 (Ref. 5) identifies Braidwood Station in a region (41 degrees 14' N, 88 degrees 13' W) in which it would not experience severe winds from Hurricanes. However, NEI Page 1lof68 of 68

Braidwood Station will implement an administrative program for FLEX to establish responsibilities, and testing
& maintenance requirements. A plant system designation will be assigned to FLEX equipment which requires configuration controls associated with systems. This will establish responsibilities, maintenance and testing requirements for all components associated with FLEX.
Unique identification numbers will be assigned to all components added to the FLEX plant system. Equipment associated with these strategies will be procured as commercial equipment with design, storage, maintenance, testing, and configuration control as outlined in JLD-ISG-2012-01 Rev. 0 section 6 and NEI 12-06 Rev 0 section 11.
Installed structures, systems and components pursuant to 1OC 850.63 (a) will continue to meet the augmented quality guidelines of Regulatory Guide 1.155, Station Blackout. Standard industry PMs will be developed to establish maintenance and testing frequencies based on type of equipment and will be within EPRI guidelines.

Response
Describe Regional Response Braidwood Station has contractual agreements in place with Center plan the Strategic Alliance for FLEX Emergency Response (SAFER). The industry will establish two (2) Regional Response Centers (RRC) located in Tennessee and Arizona to support utilities during beyond design basis events. Each RRC will hold five (5) sets of equipment, four (4) of which will be able to be fully deployed when requested, the fifth set will have equipment in a maintenance cycle. Equipment will be moved from an RRC to a local Assembly Area, established by the SAFER team and the utility. Communications will be established between the affected nuclear site and the SAFER team and required equipment moved to the site as needed. First arriving equipment, as established during development of the nuclear site's playbook will be delivered to the site within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> from the initial request (Ref. 1).

Notes:
Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) has not finalized the engineering designs for compliance with NR C Order EA-12-049. Detailed designs based on the current conceptual designs will be developed to determine the final plan and associated mitigating strategies. Once these have been fully developed, Exelon will update the integrated plan for Braidwood during a scheduled 6-month update. This update will include any changes to the initial designs as submitted in the February 28, 2013 Integrated Plan.

Cold Shutdown and Refueling:
When in Cold Shutdown and Refueling, many variables exist which impact the ability to to cool cool the core. In the event of an ELAP during these Modes, installed plant systems cannot be relied upon to cool the core, thus transition to Phase 2 will begin immediately. All efforts will be made to expeditiously provide core cooling and minimize heat-up and repressurization. Exelon has a program in place (Ref. 3) to determine the time to boil for all conditions during shutdown periods. periods.
This time will be used to determine the time required to complete transition to Phase 2.
To accommodate the activities of vessel disassembly and refueling, water levels in the reactor reactor vessel and the reactor cavity are often changed. The most limiting condition is the case in which the reactor head is removed and water level in the vessel is at or below the reactor vessel flange. If an ELAP/LUHS occurs during this condition then (depending on the time after shutdown) boiling in the core may occur quite rapidly.

Steam generator (SG) pressure will be approximately 300 psia atatthis temperature, Steam generator pressure of 300 psia corresponds to RCS pressure necessary to inject SI accumulators.
This will ensure RCS pressure is above the minimum pressure to preclude injection of accumulator nitrogen into the RCS (MAAP Ref. 1) (WCAP 17601-P Ref. 2).
During cool down the initial RCS inventory source for makeup and boration will be the SI accumulators.
Cold Shutdown and Refueling:
When in Cold Shutdown and Refueling, many variables exist which impact the ability to cool the core. In the event of an FLAP during these Modes, installed plant systems cannot be relied upon to cool the core, thus transition to Phase 2 will begin immediately. All efforts will be made to expeditiously provide core cooling and minimize heat-tip and repressurization. Exelon has a program in place (Ref. 3) to determine the time to boil for all conditions during shutdown periods.
This time will be used to determine the time required to complete transition to Phase 2.
To accommodate the activities of vessel disassembly and refueling, water levels in the reactor vessel and the reactor cavity are often changed. The most limiting condition is the case in which the reactor head is removed and water level in the vessel is at or below the reactor vessel flange. If an ELAP/LUHS occurs during this condition then (depending on the time after shutdown) boiling in the core may occur quite rapidly.
Deploying and implementing portable FLEX pumps to supply injection flow must commence immediately from the time of the event. This should be plausible because more personnel are on site during outages to provide the necessary resources.

One 480V ESF bus on each unit will be re-powered with a portable FLEX generator. The primary FLEX connection will be at the FLEX building outside of the Fuel Handling Building (FHB) outer wall. From the FLEX connection installed cables will be routed through the FHB and AUX building to the 480V ESF bus. At the bus, a spare breaker will be modified to function as a feed breaker.
The alternate FLEX connection will consist of a patch panel mounted directly to the 480 V ESF bus. Cables and a portable generator will be staged supporting timely re-powering of the bus consistent with the site's timeline.
