Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Phase 1 Requirements for Reliable Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) Capable of Operation Under Severe Accident Conditions Introduction In 1989, the NRC issued Generic Letter 89-16, "Installation of a Hardened Wetwell Vent,"

to all licensees of BWRs with Mark I containments to encourage licensees to voluntarily install a hardened wetwell vent. In response, licensees installed a hardened vent pipe from the wetwell to some point outside the secondary containment envelope (usually outside the reactor building). Some licensees also installed a hardened vent branch line from the drywell.

On March 19, 2013, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Commissioners directed the staff per Staff Requirements Memorandum (SRM) for SECY 0157 to require licensees with Mark I and Mark II containments to "upgrade or replace the reliable hardened vents required by Order EA- 12-050 with a containment venting system designed and installed to remain functional during severe accident conditions." In response, the NRC issued Order EA-13-109, Issuance of Order to Modify Licenses with Regard to Reliable HardenedContainment Vents Capable of Operation Under Severe Accidents, June 6, 2013. The Order (EA-13-109) requires that licensees of BWR facilities with Mark I and Mark II containment designs ensure that these facilities have a reliable hardened vent to remove decay heat from the containment, and maintain control of containment pressure within acceptable limits following events that result in the loss of active containment heat removal capability while maintaining the capability to operate under severe accident (SA) conditions resulting from an Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP).

The Order requirements are applied in a phased approach where:

" "Phase 1 involves upgrading the venting capabilities from the containment wetwell to provide reliable, severe accident capable hardened vents to assist in preventing core damage and, if necessary, to provide venting capability during severe accident conditions." (Completed "no later than startup from the second refueling outage that begins after June 30, 2014, or June 30, 2018, whichever comes first.")

"Phase 2 involves providing additional protections for severe accident conditions through installation of a reliable, severe accident capable drywell vent system or the development of a reliable containment venting strategy that makes it unlikely that a licensee would need to vent from the containment drywell during severe accident conditions." (Completed "no later than startup from the first refueling outage that begins after June 30, 2017, or June 30, 2019, whichever comes first.")

The NRC provided an acceptable approach for complying with Order EA-13-109 through Interim Staff Guidance (JLD-ISG-2013-02) issued in November 2013. The ISG endorses the compliance approach presented in NEI 13-02 Revision 0, Compliance with Order EA-Page 2 of 45

Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Phase 1 Requirements for Reliable Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) Capable of Operation Under Severe Accident Conditions13-109, Severe Accident Reliable Hardened Containment Vents, with clarifications.

Except in those cases in which a licensee proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with Order EA-13-109, the NRC staff will use the methods described in this ISG (NEI 13-02) to evaluate licensee compliance as presented in submittals required in Order EA- 13-109.

The Order also requires submittal of an overall integrated plan which will provide a description of how the requirements of the Order will be achieved. This document provides the Overall Integrated Plan (OIP) for complying with Order EA- 13-109 using the methods described in NEI 13-02 and endorsed by NRC JLD-ISG-2013-02. Six month progress reports will be provided consistent with the requirements of Order EA-13-109.

Dresden venting actions for the EA-13-109 severe accident capable venting scenario can be summarized by the following:

" The HCVS will be initiated via manual action from the Main Control Room (MCR) or Remote Operating Station (ROS) at the appropriate time based on procedural guidance in response to plant conditions from observed or derived symptoms.

" The vent will utilize Containment Parameters of Pressure and Wetwell (WW)

Water Level from the MCR instrumentation to monitor effectiveness of the venting actions.

" The vent operation will be monitored by HCVS valve position, temperature, pressure and effluent radiation levels.

" The HCVS motive force will be monitored and have the capacity to operate for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months with installed equipment. Replenishment of the motive force will be by use of portable equipment once the installed motive force is exhausted.

" Venting actions will be capable of being maintained for a sustained period of up to 7 days or a shorter time if justified.

Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Phase 1 Requirements for Reliable Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) Capable of Operation Under Severe Accident Conditions Part 1: General Integrated Plan Elements and Assumptions 049-1. Assumed initial plant conditions are as identified in NEI 12-06 section 3.2.1.2 items 1 and 2 049-2. Assumed initial conditions are as identified in NEI 12-06 section 3.2.1.3 items 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8 049-3. Assumed reactor transient boundary conditions are as identified in NEI 12-06 section 3.2.1.4 items 1, 2, 3 and 4 049-4. No additional events or failures are assumed to occur immediately prior to or during the event, including security events, except for failure of RCIC or HPCI. (Reference NEI 12-06,section 3.2.1.3 item 9) 049-5. At Time=0 the event is initiated and all rods insert and no other event beyond a common site ELAP is occurring at any or all of the units. (NEI 12-06, section 3.2.1.3 item 9 and 3.2.1.4 item 1-4) 049-6. At 60 minutes (time critical at a time greater than 1 hour1.157407e-5 days 2.777778e-4 hours 1.653439e-6 weeks 3.805e-7 months ) an ELAP is declared and actions begin as defined in EA-12-049 compliance 049-7. DC power and distribution can be credited for the duration determined per the EA-12-049 (FLEX) methodology for battery usage, (greater than approximately 6 hours6.944444e-5 days 0.00167 hours 9.920635e-6 weeks 2.283e-6 months with a calculation limiting value of approximately 6 hrs.) (NEI 12-06, section 3.2.1.3 item 8) 049-8. Deployment resources are assumed to begin arriving at hour 6 and fully staffed by 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months 049-9. All activities associated with plant specific EA- 12-049 FLEX strategies that are not specific to implementation of the HCVS, including such items as debris removal, communication, notifications, SFP level and makeup, security response, opening doors for cooling, and initiating conditions for the event, can be credited as previously evaluated for FLEX.

Applicable EA-13-109 generic assumptions:

109-1. Site response activities associated with EA-13-109 actions are considered to have no access limitations associated with radiological impacts while RPV level is above 2/3 core height (core damage is not expected).

109-2. Portable equipment can supplement the installed equipment after 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months provided the portable equipment credited meets the criteria applicable to the HCVS. The portable equipment (e.g., compressor, generator) used to replenish HCVS components must be demonstrated to meet the "SA Capable" criteria that are defined in NEI 13-02 Section 4.2.4.2 and Appendix D Section D.1.3.

109-3. SFP Level is maintained with either on-site or off-site resources such that the SFP does not contribute to the analyzed source term (Reference HCVS-FAQ-07) 109-4. Existing containment components design and testing values are governed by existing plant containment criteria (e.g., Appendix J) and are not subject to the testing criteria from NEI 13-02 (reference HCVS-FAQ-05 and NEI 13-02 section 6.2.2).

109-5. Classical design basis evaluations and assumptions are not required when assessing the operation of the HCVS. The reason this is not required is that the order postulates an unsuccessful mitigation of an event such that an ELAP progresses to a severe accident with ex-vessel core debris which classical design basis evaluations are intended to prevent.

(Reference NEI 13-02 section 2.3.1).

109-6. HCVS manual actions that require minimal operator steps and can be performed in the Page 5 of 45

Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Phase 1 Requirements for Reliable Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) Capable of Operation Under Severe Accident Conditions Part 1: General Integrated Plan Elements and Assumptions postulated thermal and radiological environment at the location of the step(s)(e.g., load stripping, control switch manipulation, valving-in nitrogen bottles) are acceptable to obtain HCVS venting dedicated functionality. (reference HCVS-FAQ-01) 109-7. HCVS dedicated equipment is defined as vent process elements that are required for the HCVS to function in an ELAP event that progresses to core melt ex-vessel. (reference HCVS-FAQ-02 and White Paper HCVS-WP-01) 109-8. Use of MAAP Version 4 or higher provides adequate assurance of the plant conditions (e.g.,

RPV water level, temperatures, etc.) assumed for Order EA-13-109 BDBEE and SA HCVS operation. (reference FLEX MAAP Endorsement ML13190A201) Additional analysis using RELAP5/MOD 3, GOTHIC, PCFLUD, LOCADOSE and SHIELD are acceptable methods for evaluating environmental conditions in areas of the plant provided the specific version utilized is documented in the analysis.

109-9. Utilization of NRC Published Accident evaluations (e.g., SOARCA, SECY-12-0157, and NUREG 1465) as related to Order EA-13-109 conditions are acceptable as references.

(reference NEI 13-02 section 8) 109-10. Permanent modifications installed per EA-12-049 are assumed implemented and may be credited for use in EA-13-109 Order response.

109-11. This Overall Integrated Plan is based on Emergency Operating Procedure changes consistent with EPG/SAGs Revision 3 as incorporated per the sites EOP/SAMG procedure change process.

109-12. Under the postulated scenarios of order EA-13-109 the Control Room is adequately protected from excessive radiation dose per General Design Criterion (GDC) 19 in 10CFR50 Appendix A and no further evaluation of its use as the preferred HCVS control location is required. (reference HCVS-FAQ-01) In addition, adequate protective clothing and respiratory protection is available if required to address contamination issues.

Plant Specific HCVS Related Assumptions/Characteristics:

Dresden-1 EA- 12-049 (FLEX) actions to restore power are sufficient to ensure continuous operation of non-dedicated containment instrumentation. FLEX DG power is also credited with the back-up capability stipulated in EA-13-109 requirement 1.2.5 for opening the upstream Torus PCIV.

Dresden -2 In case of a severe flood warning, the Dresden units will be shutdown and cooldown prior to the flooding causing an ELAP. The shutdown and cooldown prior to the ELAP will significantly reduce the decay heat that would have to be removed by the Isolation Condenser System (ICS) or, in case of a failure of the ICS, by the HCVS. Dresden will evaluate what actions may be necessary to ensure the WW venting path remains viable following a severe flood.

Open Item 1: Confirm that at least 6 hours6.944444e-5 days 0.00167 hours 9.920635e-6 weeks 2.283e-6 months battery coping time is available.

HCVS Actions that have a time constraintto be successful should be identified with a technical basis and a justificationprovided that the time can reasonably be met (for example, action to open vent valves).

HCVS Actions that have an environmental constraint(e.g. actions in areasof High Thermal stress or High Dose areas)should be evaluated per guidance.

Describe in detail in this section the technical basisfor the constraintsidentified on the sequence of events timeline attachment.

See attachedsequence of events timeline (A ttachment 2)

Ref: EA-13-109 Section 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3/NEI 13-02 Section 4.2.5, 4.2.6. 6.1.1 The containment purge exhaust at each Dresden unit consists of a wetwell primary containment isolation valve (PCIV), a DW PCIV, and a common downstream PCIV. The HCVS flow path will utilize portions of this system. The HCVS will connect upstream of the existing downstream PCIV.

Consequently, the HCVS flow path will share the upstream PCIVs with the containment purge system, but it will have a downstream PCIV dedicated to the HCVS flow path. The new HCVS flow path will have a dedicated secondary containment isolation valve. Each unit will have piping that is totally separate from the other unit and with no interconnected systems downstream of the new downstream PCIV. The discharge from each unit is routed separately and discharges above the unit's Reactor Building roof.

Each unit will have dedicated motive power (Pressurized N2) for HCVS valves and dedicated DC power for HCVS components that is not shared with any other function and that does not rely on FLEX, with the clarification that existing containment instrumentation (pressure and wetwell level) are not considered HCVS components and power will be maintained through the actions for EA 049.

The operation of the HCVS will be designed to minimize the reliance on operator actions in response to hazards listed in Part 1. Immediate operator actions will be completed by plant personnel and will include the capability for remote-manual initiation from the HCVS control station. A list of the remote manual actions performed by plant personnel to open the HCVS vent path can be found in the following table (2-1). A HCVS Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP) Failure Evaluation table, which shows alternate actions that can be performed, is included in Attachment 4.

Open Item 3: Determine how HCVS DC Power and/or Motive Power will be disabled during normal operation to provide assurancesagainstinadvertent operation,but to also minimize actions to enable operationfollowing an ELAP.

A timeline was developed to identify required operator response times and potential environmental constraints. This timeline is based upon the following three cases:

1. Case 1 is based upon the action response times developed for Dresden FLEX in a BDBEE without core damage. Containment venting is not required for Dresden FLEX response since the Isolation Condenser System (ICS) removes all the decay heat from the reactor and the containment does not become pressurized enough to require venting. Dresden does not have a RCIC system but it has a steam driven High Pressure Coolant Injection System (HPCI).

2. Case 2 is based on a SECY-12-0157 long term station blackout (LTSBO) (or ELAP) with failure of RCIC after a black start where failure occurs because of subjectively assuming over injection. It is used for Dresden to represent a late failure of the ICS and HPCI. Late failure of the ICS is due to the assumption that FLEX fails to provide make-up water to the ICS.

3. Case 3 is based on NUREG-1935 (SOARCA) results for a prolonged SBO (or ELAP) with the loss of RCIC case without black start. For Dresden, this represents that the ICS fails after its initial water volume is expended (i.e., no FLEX make-up to the ICS), and the HPCI fails early at a pool temperature of 140'F.

Discussion of time constraints identified in Attachment 2 for the 3 timeline cases identified above

With Case 1 (ICS operating), HCVS operation is not required since the only heat input into the containment is from RCS leaks and ambient losses to the environment.

" For Case 3 (limiting case), in approximately 8 hours9.259259e-5 days 0.00222 hours 1.322751e-5 weeks 3.044e-6 months , initiate use of Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) per site procedures to maintain containment parameters below the lower of PCPL or containment design pressure. Reliable operation of HCVS will be met because HCVS meets the seismic requirements identified in NEI 13-02, will be powered by DC power from a dedicated power source, and HCVS valves are supplied with motive force from portable nitrogen bottles. HCVS controls and instrumentation and controls will be DC powered. HCVS valve motive force is from pressurized gas. Valves will be operable from the HCVS control panel in the MCR. DC power and motive air will be available for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months from permanent sources. Containment pressure and WW indication will be initially powered from existing IE Station battery and maintained by FLEX generators. Thus, initiation of the HCVS from the MCR or the Remote Operating Station within approximately 8 hours9.259259e-5 days 0.00222 hours 1.322751e-5 weeks 3.044e-6 months is acceptable because the actions can be performed any time after declaration of an ELAP until the venting is needed at approximately 8 hours9.259259e-5 days 0.00222 hours 1.322751e-5 weeks 3.044e-6 months for BDBEE venting. This action can also be performed for SA HCVS Page 10 of 45

" Within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months , the permanently installed nitrogen bottles at the ROS will be replaced, as required, to maintain sustained operation or alternatively a portable compressor will be connect at the ROS. This can be performed at any time prior to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months to ensure adequate capacity is maintained; therefore, this time constraint is not limiting.

" Within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months , a portable generator will be installed and connected to recharge the dedicated HCVS power supply to maintain sustained operation. This can be performed any time prior to 24 hour2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months ; therefore, this time constraint is not limiting.

Discussion of radiological and temperature constraints identified in Attachment 2

" Actions to initiate HCVS operation are taken from the MCR or from the ROS in the Turbine Building. Both locations have significant shielding and/or physical separation from radiological sources. Non-radiological habitability for the MCR is being addressed as part of the Dresden FLEX response. The location in the Turbine Building has no heat generating sources.

" Before the end of the initial 24-hour period, replenishment of the HCVS dedicated DC power and motive power (pressurized gas) will occur at the ROS. The selection of the ROS location will take into account the SA temperature and radiation condition to ensure access to the ROS is maintained. The design will allow replenishment with minimal actions.

HCVS components including instrumentationshould be designed, as a minimum, to meet the seismic design requirements of the plant.

Components including instrumentationthat are not requiredto be seismically designed by the design basis of the plant should be designedfor reliable and rugged performance that is capable of ensuring HCVSfunctionalityfollowing a seismic event. (reference ISG-JLD-2012-01 and ISG-JLD-2012-03for seismic details.)

The components including instrumentationexternal to a seismic category I (or equivalentbuilding or enclosure should be designed to meet the external hazards that screen-infor the plant as defined in guidance NEI 12-06 as endorsed by JLD-ISG-12-01 for Order EA-12-049.

Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Phase 1 Requirements for Reliable Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) Capable of Operation Under Severe Accident Conditions Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent Vent Size and Basis The HCVS wetwell path is designed for venting steam/energy at a nominal capacity of 1% of the currently licensed power, 2957 MWt thermal power at a drywell pressure of 62 psig. This pressure is the lower of the containment design pressure and the PCPL value assuming nominal torus water level.

The nominal diameter of the upstream HCVS piping, which is part of the containment penetration boundary, is 18 inches which provides adequate capacity to meet or exceed the Order criteria. The new downstream piping, which is dedicated to the HCVS venting function, is estimated to be between 12 to 14 inches in diameter.

Open Item 5: Confirm diameteron new common HCVS piping Vent Cavacity The 1% value at Dresden assumes that the suppression pool pressure suppression capacity is sufficient to absorb the decay heat generated during the first 3 hours3.472222e-5 days 8.333333e-4 hours 4.960317e-6 weeks 1.1415e-6 months . The vent would then be able to prevent containment pressure from increasing above the containment design pressure. As part of the detailed design, the duration of suppression pool decay heat absorption capability will be confirmed.

Open Item 6: Confirm suppressionpool heat capacity.

Vent Path and Discharge The HCVS vent path at Dresden will consist of a wetwell vent on each unit. The wetwell vent line has an upstream primary containment isolation valve (PCIV) shared with the normal containment ventilation system, and a dedicated downstream PCIV. The wetwell vent line will be initially routed vertically through the Reactor Building and then horizontally through the Reactor Building wall. The line then will be routed vertically on the outside of the Reactor Building to a point above the top of the Reactor Building. There will be no interconnected systems downstream of the PCIVs and there will be no sharing of any flow path between the two units.

The HCVS discharge path will be routed to a point above any adjacent structure. This discharge point is just above that unit's Reactor Building and will follow the guidance of FAQ- HCVS-04 (Reference

16) to the extent reasonably possible such that the release point will vent away from emergency ventilation system intake and exhaust openings, main control room location, location of HCVS portable equipment, access routes required following a ELAP and BDBEE, and emergency response facilities; however, these must be considered in conjunction with other design criteria (e.g., flow capacity) and pipe routing limitations, to the degree practical.

The detailed design will address missile protection to a maximum height of 30 feet from ground elevation, from external events as defined by NEI 12-06 for the outside portions of the selected release pipe. (reference FAQ HCVS-04)

Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Phase 1 Requirements for Reliable Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) Capable of Operation Under Severe Accident Conditions Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent Power and Pneumatic Supply Sources All electrical power required for operation of HCVS components will be from a dedicated HCVS DC battery source with permanently installed capacity for the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months and design provisions for recharging to maintain sustained operation.

Motive (pneumatic) power to the HCVS valves will be provided by a dedicated bank of N2 gas bottles with permanently installed capacity for the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months and design provisions for replacing bottles and/or connecting a portable compressor to maintain sustained operation. The initial stored motive air/gas will allow for a minimum of 12 vent cycles for the HCVS valves for the first 24-hours. The 12 vent cycles is defined as initially opening all valves in the wetwell flow path, and then shutting and reopening one of the valves in the flow path 11 times.

1. The HCVS flow path valves are air-operated valves (AOV). The existing, upstream PCIV is air-to-open and air-to-shut. The new downstream PCIV and SCIV will be air-to-open and spring-to-shut. Opening the valves from the HCVS control panel located in the MCR requires energizing a DC powered solenoid operated valve (SOV) and providing motive air/gas.

2. An assessment of temperature and radiological conditions will be performed to ensure that operating personnel can safely access and operate controls at the Remote Operating Station based on time constraints listed in Attachment 2.

3. All permanently installed HCVS equipment, including any connections required to supplement the HCVS operation during an ELAP (i.e., DC power and motive force [pressurized N2/air])

will be located in areas reasonably protected from defined hazards listed in Part I of this report.

4- All valves required to open the flow path will be designed for remote manual operation following an ELAP, such that the primary means of valve manipulation does not rely on use of a handwheel, reach-rod or similar means that requires close proximity to the valve (reference FAQ HCVS-03). The preferred method-is opening from the MCR through the control switch that energizes the AOVs SOV. The back-up method for new valves is from the ROS by repositioning valves on the pneumatic air line; this allows opening and closing of a valve from the ROS without reliance on any electrical power or control circuit. Accessibility to the ROS will be verified during the detailed design. The back-up method for existing valves is from the existing valve solenoids operated from the Control Room using FLEX power.

Open item 4: Confirm the ROS will be accessiblefollowing a SA.

5. Any supplemental connections will be pre-engineered to minimize man-power resources and address environmental concerns. Required portable equipment will be reasonably protected from screened in hazards listed in Part 1 of this OIP.

6. Access to the locations described above will not require temporary ladders or scaffolding.

Page 15 of 45

Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Phase 1 Requirements for Reliable Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) Capable of Operation Under Severe Accident Conditions Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent Location of Control Panels The HCVS design will allow initiating and then operating and monitoring the HCVS from the Main Control Room (MCR) and in addition, opening valve(s) from the ROS and existing control panels in the control room in case of a DC circuit failure. The tentative location for the ROS is 561 elevation Turbine Building. The MCR location is protected from adverse natural phenomena and it is the normal control point for Plant Emergency Response actions. The ROS will be evaluated to ensure acceptable temperature and dose consequences.

Open item 4: Confirm the ROS will be accessiblefollowing a SA.

Hydrogen As is required by EA-13-109, Section 1.2.11, the HCVS must be designed such that it is able to either provide assurance that oxygen cannot enter and mix with flammable gas in the HCVS (so as to form a combustible gas mixture), or it must be able to accommodate the dynamic loading resulting from a combustible gas detonation. Several configurations are available which will support the former (e.g.,

purge, mechanical isolation from outside air, etc.) or the latter (design of potentially affected portions of the system to withstand a detonation relative to pipe stress and support structures).

Dresden will determine the approach or combination of approaches it will take to address the combustible gas mixture. Dresden intends to follow the guidance in HCVS-WP-03, Hydrogen/CO Control Measures.

Open Item 7: Determine the approachfor combustible gases.

Unintended Cross Flow of Vented Fluids The HCVS will use dedicated PCIVs for containment isolation and a dedicated flow path that has neither any interconnected-systems nor sharing with the opposite unit's HCVS. These containment isolation valves will be AOVs that are air-to-open and spring-to-shut.

Prevention of Inadvertent Actuation EOP/ERG operating procedures provide clear guidance that the HCVS is not to be used to defeat containment integrity during any design basis transients and accident. In addition, the HCVS will be designed to provide features to prevent inadvertent actuation due to a design error, equipment malfunction, or operator error such that any credited containment accident pressure (CAP) that would provide net positive suction head to the emergency core cooling system (ECCS) pumps will be available (inclusive of a design basis loss-of-coolant accident (DBLOCA)). However, the ECCS pumps will not have normal power available because of the starting boundary conditions of an ELAP.

Note that Dresden credits CAP for its DBLOCA. Preventing inadvertent operation is addressed. This is confirmed through UFSAR section 6.3.3.4.3.2.

The features that prevent inadvertent actuation will be two PCIVs in series. These valves will be fail-shut AOVs. They are air to open, spring to shut AOVs that require energizing a SOV to allow the Page 16 of 45

Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Phase 1 Requirements for Reliable Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) Capable of Operation Under Severe Accident Conditions Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent motive air to open the valve. Each PCIV will be controlled by its own key-locked switch. In addition, the DC power to the SOV and the motive air supplied will normally be disabled to prevent inadvertent operation.

Component Oualifications The HCVS components and components that interface with the HCVS will be routed in seismically qualified structures.

HCVS components that are part of the containment pressure boundary will be safety-related. The containment system limits the leakage or release of radioactive materials to the environment to prevent offsite exposures from exceeding the guidelines of 10CFR100. During normal or design basis operations, this means serving as a pressure boundary to prevent release of radioactive material.

HCVS components downstream of the containment pressure boundary (i.e., downstream of the downstream PCIV) will not be safety-related.

The HCVS components (SOVs and instrumentation) will be powered from a normally de-energized, dedicated power supply that will not be safety-related but will be considered Augmented Quality.

However, if any HCVS electrical or controls component interfaces with Class IE power sources, it will be considered safety related up to and including appropriate isolation devices such as fuses or breakers, as their failure could adversely impact containment isolation and/or a safety-related power source. Newly installed piping and valves will be seismically analyzed to handle the forces associated with the Plant Design Basis Seismic Requirements back to their isolation boundaries. Electrical and controls components will be seismically analyzed and will include the ability to handle harsh environmental conditions (although they will not be considered part of the site Environmental Qualification (EQ) program).

HCVS instrumentation performance (e.g., accuracy and precision) need not exceed that of similar plant installed equipment. Additionally, radiation monitoring instrumentation accuracy and range will be sufficient to confirm flow of radionuclides through the HCVS. The HCVS instruments, including valve position indication, process instrumentation, radiation monitoring, and support system monitoring, will be qualified by using one or more of the three methods described in the ISG, which includes:

1. Purchase of instruments and supporting components with known operating principles from manufacturers with commercial quality assurance programs (e.g., IS09001) where the procurement specifications include the applicable seismic requirements, design requirements, and applicable testing.

2. Demonstration of seismic reliability via methods that predict performance described in IEEE 344-2004

3. Demonstration that instrumentation is substantially similar to the design of instrumentation previously qualified.

The specific qualification method used for each required HCVS instrument will be reported in future 6 month status reports.

Monitoring of HCVS The Dresden wetwell HCVS will be capable of being remote-manually operated during sustained operations from a control panel located in the main control room (MCR) and will meet the requirements of Order element 1.2.4. The MCR is a readily accessible location with no further evaluation required (Generic Assumption 109-12). Additionally, to meet the intent for a secondary control location of section 1.2.5 of the Order, a readily accessible Remote Operating Station (ROS) will also be incorporated into the HCVS design as described in NEI 13-02 section 4.2.2.1.2.1. The controls and indications at the ROS location will be accessible and functional under a range of plant conditions, including severe accident conditions with due consideration to source term and dose impact on operator exposure, extended loss of AC power (ELAP), and inadequate containment cooling. An evaluation will be performed to determine accessibility to the location, habitability, staffing sufficiency, and communication capability with Vent-use decision makers.

The wetwell HCVS will include means to monitor the status of the vent system in the MCR and to monitor DC power and N2 pressure at the ROS. The proposed design for the HCVS includes control switches in the MCR with valve position indication. The HCVS controls will meet the environmental and seismic requirements of the Order for the plant severe accident with an ELAP. The ability to open/close these valves multiple times during the event's first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months will be provided by dedicated motive air and DC power.

Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Phase 1 Requirements for Reliable Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) Capable of Operation Under Severe Accident Conditions Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent closed will be maintained by sustaining the motive air and DC power.

The wetwell HCVS will include indications for vent pipe pressure, temperature, and effluent radiation levels at the MCR. Other important information on the status of supporting systems (i.e., DC power source status and pneumatic supply pressure) will also be included in the design and located to support HCVS operation. Other instrumentation that supports HCVS function will be provided in the MCR. This includes existing containment pressure and wetwell level indication. This instrumentation is not required to validate HCVS function and is therefore not powered from the dedicated HCVS batteries. However, these instruments are expected to be available since the FLEX DG supplies the station battery charger for these instruments and will be installed prior to depletion of the station batteries.

Component reliable and rugged performance Unless otherwise required to be safety-related, Augmented Quality requirements will be applied to the components installed in response to this Order.

The HCVS downstream of the second containment isolation valve, including piping and supports, electrical power supply, valve actuator pneumatic supply, and instrumentation (local and remote) components, will be designed/analyzed to conform to the requirements consistent with the applicable design codes (e.g., Non-safety, Seismic Category 1, B31.1) for the plant and to ensure functionality following a design basis earthquake.

Additional modifications required to meet the Order will provide reliability at the postulated vent pipe conditions (temperature, pressure, and radiation levels). The instrumentation/power supplies/cables/connections (components) will be qualified for temperature, pressure, radiation level, total integrated radiation dose appropriate for that location (e.g., near the effluent vent pipe or at the HCVS ROS location).

Conduit design and/or cable trays will be installed to Seismic Class I criteria.

Both existing and new barriers will be used to provide a level of protection from externally generated missiles when equipment is located outside of seismically qualified structures.

If the instruments are purchased as commercial-grade equipment, they will be qualified to operate under severe accident environment as required by NRC Order EA-13-109 and the guidance of NEI 13-02. The equipment will be qualified seismically (IEEE 344), and environmentally (IEEE 323 These qualifications will be bounding conditions for Dresden per UFSAR 1.18 and 6.2.5.3.2.

For the instruments required after a potential seismic event, the following methods will be used to verify that the design and installation is reliable / rugged and thus capable of ensuring HCVS functionality following a seismic event. Applicable instruments are rated by the manufacturer (or Page 19 of 45

Ref: EA-13-109 Section 1.1.4/NEI 13-02 Section2.2 First 24 Hour Coping Detail Provide a general description of the venting actionsfor first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months using installedequipment including station modifications that are proposed.

Ref: EA-13-109 Section 1.2.6 / NEI 13-02 Section 2.5, 4.2.2 The operation of the HCVS will be designed to minimize the reliance on operator actions for response to a ELAP and BDBEE hazards identified in Part 1 of this OIP. Immediate operator actions can be completed by Operators from the HCVS control station and include remote-manual initiation. The operator actions required to open a vent path are as described in table 2-1.

Remote-manual is defined in this report as a non-automatic power operation of a component that does not require the operator to be at or in close proximity to the component. No other operator actions are required to initiate venting under the guiding procedural protocol.

The HCVS will be designed to allow initiation, control, and monitoring of venting from the Main Control Room (MCR). This location minimizes plant operators' exposure to adverse temperature and radiological conditions and is protected from hazards assumed in Part I of this report.

Connections for supplementing electrical power and motive air/gas required for HCVS will be located in accessible areas with reasonable protection per NEI 12-06 that minimize personnel exposure to adverse conditions for HCVS initiation and operation. Connections will be pre-engineered quick disconnects to minimize manpower resources.

FLEX is credited solely to sustain power for a BDBEE ELAP to containment instruments used to monitor the containment (e.g., pressure and wetwell level). The response to NRC Order EA-12-049 will demonstrate the capability for FLEX efforts to maintain the power source.

These actions provide long term support for HCVS operation for the period beyond 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months to 7 days (sustained operation time period) because on-site and off-site personnel and resources will have access to the unit(s) to provide needed action and supplies.
