Byron Station, Units 1 and 2 Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan General Integrated Plan Elements PWR Seismic events, except soil liquefaction; flooding from local intense precipitation; severe storms with high winds; snow, and extreme cold; and high temperatures were determined to be applicable Extreme External Hazards for Byron Station per the guidance of NEI 12-06 and are as follows:
Seismic Hazard Assessment:
Byron will address the Beyond Design Basis (BDB) Seismic considerations in the implementation of FLEX strategies consistent NEI 12-06, (Ref. 1). Through test borings performed it was concluded that the soils are not susceptible to liquefaction. (Ref. 2 UFSAR)
External Flood Hazard Assessment:
Byron UFSAR, (Ref. 3), addresses additional flooding mechanisms that are either not critical or not bounding for Byron.
Not applicable per NEI 12-06, (Ref. 4), since Byron is considered a Dry site per Byron UFSAR, (Ref 5), the plant grade elevation is at 869.0 feet and the grade floors of the safety related building are at elevation 870.0 feet. The Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) along the Rock River does not affect the site, since the maximum water surface elevation is 708.3 feet, a minimum of 160.7 feet below the plant grade. The probable maximum precipitation (PMP) falling on the plant area was considered in the analysis of local intense precipitation on the plant site. The maximum water level is elevation 870.90 feet at the plant site due to PMP. To prevent water due to PMP from entering areas where essential equipment/systems are located, reinforced concrete curbs or steel barriers are provided.
High Wind Hazard Assessment:
NEI 12-06, (Ref. 6), identifies Byron Station in a region, (890 16' W x 424' N.) in which it would not experience severe winds from Hurricanes. However, NEI 12-06, (Ref, 7), identified Byron in Region 1 and is susceptible to tornado winds of 200 mph.

The annual average temperature in the Byron area as represented by Rockford data is 48.1°F, with extreme temperatures having ranged from a maximum of 103°F to a minimum of -22°F. Maximum temperatures equal or exceed 90°F about 13 times per year while minimum temperatures are less than or equal to 0°F about 16 times per year.
Byron Station location is 8 9.'16' W x 42°4' N.
Extreme Cold Hazard Assessment:
NEI 12-06, (Ref. 9), identifies Byron Station in an area in which it could receive 25 inches of snow over 3 days.
NEI 12-06, (Ref. 10), identifies Byron Station as Ice Severity Level 5, Catastrophic destruction to power lines and/or existence of extreme amount of ice.
High Temperature Hazard Assessment:
Byron Station will address high temperatures considerations in the implementation of FLEX strategies consistent with NEI 12-06, (Ref. 11).

Though specific strategies are being developed, due to the inability to anticipate all possible scenarios, the strategies are also diverse and flexible to encompass a wide range of possible conditions. These pre-planned strategies developed to protect the public health and safety will be incorporated into the unit emergency operating procedures in accordance with established EOP change processes, and their impact to the design basis capabilities of the unit evaluated under 10 CFR 50.59. The plant Technical Specifications contain the limiting conditions for normal unit operations to ensure that design safety features are available to respond to a design basis accident and direct the required actions to be taken when the limiting conditions are not met. The result of the beyond-design-basis event may place the plant in a condition where it cannot comply with certain Technical Specifications, and, as such, may warrant invocation of 10 CFR 50.54(x) and/or 10 CFR 73.55(p).

Byron Station, Units 1 and 2 Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan Maintain Core Cooling & Heat Removal Determine Baseline coping capability with installed coping' modifications not including FLEX modifications, utilizing methods described in Table 3-2 of NEI 12-06:
AFW/EFW Depressurize SG for Makeup with Portable Injection Source Sustained Source of Water I Ref; JLD-ISG-2012- 01 section 2 and 3 PWR Installed Equipment Phase 1 Provide a general description, of the coping strategies using installed equipment including station modifications that are proposed to maintain core cooling. Identify methods (AFW/EFW)and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.
At the initiation of the event operators will enter Station Blackout (SBO) - Emergency Operating Procedure (EOP),_BCA 0.0 Loss of All AC. The Extended Loss of AC Power (FLAP),
Attachment B, will be entered when the emergency diesel generators are confirmed unavailable and off-site power cannot be restored and it is confirmed by dispatcher or visual verification of physical damage to infrastructure at site.
Within 90 minutes Operators will cool down the plant at approximately 75°F/hr to 420°F (Tcold).
Steam generator (SG) pressure will be approximately 300 psia at this 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 Analysis(Ref 1), WCAP-17601 -P (Ref. 2).
During cool down, the Diesel Driven Auxiliary Feedwater (DDAFW) pump will deliver water from the Ultimate Heat Sink (UHS) via Essential Service Water (SX) system to the SGs.
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 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.
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 ediately from the time of the event. This should be plausible because more personnel are on site during outages to provide the necessary resources. Strategies for makeup water include 1 Coping modifications consist of modifications installed to increase initial coping time, i.e., generators to preserve vital instruments or increase operating time on battery powered equipment.

Identify methods and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.
Phase 2 Core cooling will be achieved with a portable FLEX diesel pump and S/G PORVs. The pump suction will come from the RWST and/or the UHS fed from the well water pumps powered from a portable Flex DG. The discharge will be into the AFW lines downstream of the containment isolation valves into the S/Gs. The PORVs will be used to control the S/G pressure.
In the event the unit is in a refueling outage, another portable FLEX diesel pump will also be able to supply the RCS boil off using the modifications outlined in Phase 2 of Inventory Control.
Electrical power required to support the Flex Strategy is described in the Safety Function Support Section of the document.
Details:
Byron Station will use the industry developed guidance from the Owners Groups, EPRI and NEI Task team to develop site specific procedures or guidelines to address the criteria in NEI 12-06. These procedures and/or guidelines will support the existing symptom based command and control strategies in the current EOPs.
The following modifications will be installed to support FLEX pump water injection into the SGs.
FLEX pump discharge: Install Pipe flange connections on the A, D, B and C Auxiliary feed water (AF) SG injection lines at the test flanges within the Main Steam Isolation Valve (MSIV) rooms. Connect the pipe flanges with a header routed through the steam tunnel. One end of the header will be routed to the B/C Main Steam Safety Valve (MSSV) room and terminated with a standard FLEX connection (Primary connection) and the other end will be routed to the A/D MSSV room and terminated with a standard FLEX connection (Alternate connection).
FLEX pump suction: A tee will be installed on the B SI pump suction line. A header will be routed from the tee through the RWST tunnel to the RWST tunnel access hatch or alternate path and terminated with a standard FLEX connection. Additionally, hoses could be run from the UHS as suction backup source.

Byron Station, Units 1 and 2 Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan Maintain RCS Inventory Control Determine Baseline coping capability with installed coping modifications not including FLEX modifications, utilizing methods described in Table 3-2 of NEI 12-06:
Low Leak RCP Seals or RCS makeup required All Plants Provide Means to Provide Borated RCS Makeup PWR Installed Equipment Phase 1:
Provide a general description of the coping strategies using installed equipment including modifications that are proposed to maintain core cooling. Identify methods (Low Leak RCP Seals and/or borated high pressure RCS makeup)and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.
At the initiation of the event operators will enter Emergency Operating Procedure (EOP) BCA 0.0, Loss of All AC. The Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP), BCA 0.0 Attachment B, will be entered when the emergency diesel generators are confirmed unavailable and off-site power cannot be restored and it is confirmed by dispatcher or visual verification of physical damage to infrastructure at site.
Within 90 minutes operators will cool down the plant at approximately 75°F/hr to 420°F (Tcold).
Steam generator (SC) pressure will be approximately 300 psia. 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. WCAP-17601-P (Ref. 2).
During cool down, the initial RCS inventory make-up and boration source will be the S 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 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 control reactor temperature below 212°F to prevent an unplanned mode change. 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. Strategies for makeup water include 2 Coping modifications consist of modifications installed to increase initial coping time, i.e., generators to preserve vital instruments or increase operating time on battery powered equipment.
