• Frequency analysis, taking into account the dead weight and the hydrodynamic mass of the structure, is performed to obtain the natural frequencies of the structure in all Page 4 of 32

LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2 Third Six-Month Status Report for the Implementation of SFPLI August 28, 2014 three directions.

• SSE (Safe Shutdown Earthquake) response spectra analysis is performed to obtain member stresses and support reactions.

• Modal responses are combined using the Double Sum Method per U.S. NRC Regulatory Guide 1.92, Revision 1, "Combining Modal Responses and Spatial Components in Seismic Response Analysis".

This method is endorsed per Appendix B of the Updated FSAR Revision 20 for LaSalle County Power Station.

• The seismic loads for each of the three directions are combined by the Square Root of the Sum of Squares (SRSS) Method.

• Sloshing analysis is performed to obtain liquid pressure and its impact on bracket design.

• The seismic results are combined with the dead load results and the hydrodynamic pressure results in absolute sum. These combined results are compared with the allowable stress values.

Sloshing Sloshing forces were obtained by analysis. The TID-7024, Nuclear Reactors and Earthquakes, 1963, by the US Atomic Energy Commission, approach has been used to estimate the wave height and natural frequency.

Horizontal and vertical impact force on the bracket components was calculated using the wave height and natural frequency obtained using TID-7024 approach. Using this methodology, sloshing forces have been calculated Page 5 of 32

LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2 Third Six-Month Status Report for the Implementation of SFPLI August 28, 2014 and added to the total reactionary forces that would be applicable for bracket anchorage design. The analysis also determined that the level probe can withstand a credible design basis seismic event. During the design basis event, the SFP water level is expected to rise and parts of the level sensor probe are assumed to become submerged in borated water. The load impact due to the rising water and submergence of the bracket components has also been considered for the overall sloshing impact. Reliable operation of the level measurement sensor with a submerged interconnecting cable has been demonstrated by analysis of previous Westinghouse testing of the cable, and the vendor's cable qualification. Boron build up on the probe has been analyzed to determine the potential effects on the sensor.

Shock and Vibration SFPIS pool side brackets were analyzed for Safe Shutdown Earthquake design requirements per NRC order EA 051 and NEI 12-02 guidance. As provided by the NRC Order EA-12-051, the NEI 12-02 guidance and as clarified by the NRC interim staff guidance, the probe, coaxial cable, and the mounting brackets are "inherently resistant to shock and vibration loadings." As a result, no additional shock and vibration testing is required for these components. SFPIS pool side brackets for both the primary and backup Westinghouse SFP measurement channels will be permanently installed and fixed to rigid refuel floors, which Page 8 of 32

LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2 Third Six-Month Status Report for the Implementation of SFPLI August 28, 2014 are Seismic Category 1 structures. The SFPI system components, such as level sensor and its bracket, display enclosure and its bracket, were subjected to seismic testing, including shock and vibration test requirements.

The results for shock and vibration tests were consistent with the anticipated shock and vibration expected to be seen by mounted equipment. The level sensor electronics are enclosed in a NEMA-4X housing.

The display electronics panel utilizes a NEMA-4X rated stainless steel housing as well. These housings will be mounted to a seismically qualified wall and will contain the active electronics, and aid in protecting the internal components from vibration induced damage.

Reference Westinghouse reports WNA-DS-02957, WNA-TR-03149-GEN for shock and vibration.

b) The seismic adequacy of the SFPIS (all components) is demonstrated by vendor testing and analysis in accordance with below listed standards:

LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2 Third Six-Month Status Report for the Implementation of SFPLI August 28, 2014 Radiological habitability for the transit routes to both displays has been evaluated against LaSalle Station UFSAR Table 3.11-21 Normal Environment Zone Ni Service Conditions in the Auxiliary Building for core melt scenario conditions as well as estimated dose rates from SFP draindown conditions to Level 3, (calculation BYR13-187) and exposure to personnel monitoring SFP levels would remain less than emergency exposure limits allowable for emergency responders to perform this action. Heat and humidity from SFP boildown conditions have been evaluated for access to this location, and the access routes are below the SFP operating floor and located in a different building physically separated by closed air lock/fire doors from the SFP such that heat and humidity from a boiling SFP would not compromise habitability concerns with accessing these displays.

Diverse communications are accessible at both display locations. The operators would first employ radio communications or the telephone communication. If the radio communications or telephone systems are non-functional, the sound powered phone system is assumed available because no power is required. Sound powered phone jacks units are located near both display locations and can be setup as needed.

The display will be accessed on demand. It takes up to 6 minutes to reach the display location, for both the primary and backup channels, when an operator is dispatched from the control room. The actual time for accessing the display locations is based on walkthroughs in the plant by the Page 16 of 32

LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2 Third Six-Month Status Report for the Implementation of SFPLI August 28, 2014 Operations, Engineering, and Maintenance personnel. The walkthrough to access the display locations is within the robust seismic category I structures, from the control room to the display locations, located in the Unit 1 and Unit 2 Division 2 Switchg ear Rooms. Upon obtaining the indicated SFP level from the display location, the operators will use the sound powered phone system to provide the information to the control room immediately. Being able to provide the indicated SFP level within approximately 10 minutes is not considered an unreasonable delay.

LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2 Third Six-Month Status Report for the Implementation of SFPLI August 28, 2014 equipment.

6. Allowable stresses for structural bolts Methodology to qualify the structural integrity includes, but not limited to the following:

1. Structural Weldments Qualifying the weld design entails the selection of a weld's physical attributes, such as type, configuration and size, which will make it suitable for transferring the prescribed loads within the appropriate limits. This process involves determining the maximum unit forces on the weld and comparing them with the weld capacity. The methodology determines weld design forces by assuming nominal linear stress/strain distribution of stiffness within the joint is consistent with this assumption. In some cases more refined techniques may be required to predict appropriate distribution of weld forces.

2. Concrete Expansions The design methodology of concrete expansion anchor assemblies involves 1) application of component attachment loads to the plate,

2) analysis of the assembly to determine the resultant tension and shear forces on individual anchors, 3) evaluation of the anchor forces relative to anchor allowable and 4) computation and evaluation of bending stresses in the CEA plate. Reactions for the attached component (applied to the plate at the centroid of the attachment weld) shall be resolved into moments, shears and triaxial loads (about the major axes of the expansion anchor plate).

3. Local Stress Effects The member local stresses for open sections are computed according to specific procedures for flange attachments, web attachments, attachments to flanges of beams supporting concrete, and attachment of webs of beams supporting concrete.

4. Existing Embedment Plate Evaluation Embedment plates for mechanical/electrical component supports attachments (i.e., pipe supports, conduit supports, HVAC supports, etc.) are evaluated as follows:

• Determine embedment plate detail based on the component support design drawing and appropriate structural drawings.

• Determine an allowable load for the embedment plate per design tables.

Page 23 of 32

LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2 Third Six-Month Status Report for the Implementation of SFPLI August 28, 2014

• Ensure that the attachment location satisfies the location tolerances used in determining the embedment plate allowances.

• Calculate reactions at face of embedment plate.

• Determine if the embedment plate can be qualified per criteria.

5. Conduit and Conduit Supports Structural adequacy of rigid conduit is evaluated by determining the critical span condition, loads, checking conduit stresses and verifying structural adequacy of conduit clamps.

Structural adequacy of conduit, junction boxes and junction box supports is evaluated by determining loads, calculating member forces and joint reactions, checking member stresses, checking expansion anchor assemblies, checking attachments to structure and resolving overstresses.

6. Cable Tray Loading Violations (CTLVs) The structural evaluation of cable tray supports for potential increase in design basis loading will be performed by identifying the hangers affected by the routing point. For each affected hanger controlling routing point will be determined. Then actual load associated with the routing point will be computed. Then the actual load will be compared to the load used in the hanger design. An evaluation of cable tray hanger for any increased load will be performed.

7. Category 1 Partition Walls When qualifying a wall for a new/revised attachment, the following method is utilized:

• If the loads on the existing critical design strip are larger in magnitude than the loads on the design strip containing the new attachment, then the wall can be qualified by comparison.

• If the wall cannot be qualified by comparison of loading, moment and shear due to the attachment shall be calculated and their effects added to the critical design strip. New stresses or moment and shear will be compared to the allowable stresses/capacities.

• If this results in an unacceptable over stress condition, detailed evaluation of the design strip Page 24 of 32

LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2 Third Six-Month Status Report for the Implementation of SFPLI August 28, 2014 containing the attachment is required. All existing attachments and core holes in the strip will be accounted for in this evaluation.

5) LaSalle Station are bounded by below test conditions, except tests and analyses for radiation TID 12" above top of fuel rack for beyond design used to demonstrate the qualification and basis conditions (BDB). The BDB radiation TID, 12" above top reliability of the of fuel rack for LaSalle is 4.E07 R y, per calculation BYR13-051 installed equipment NEI 12-02 Spent Fuel Pool Doses. The BDB radiation value in accordance with to which the Westinghouse equipment is qualified to is 1.E07 R the Order y, per Section 5.1.1 of WNA-TR-03149-GEN. The radiation requirements. value of 4.E07 R y is higher than 1.E07 R y to which Westinghouse qualified the instrument to. However, this value of 4.E07 R y is applicable only when the water is at Level 3. At Level 2 the TID reduces to 2.E07 R y and it further reduces to 8.E06 at Level 1 and above. With SFP water level at Level 3 the only components of SFPI that are exposed to high radiation are the stainless steel probe and the stainless steel anchor.

The materials with which the probe and the anchor are manufactured are resistant to radiation effects. The stainless steel anchor and stainless steel probe can withstand 40 year dose. Westinghouse updated the design specification (WNA-DS-02957-GEN) and LTR-SFPIS-13-35, Revision 1 documentation to include the above technical justification.

Environmental Conditions for SFPIS Components in the Spent Fuel Pool Area Level sensor probe, coax coupler and connector assembly, launch plate and pool side bracket assembly, coax cable are designed and qualified to operate reliably in the below specified environmental conditions.

LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2 Third Six-Month Status Report for the Implementation of SFPLI August 28, 2014 Thermal and Radiation Aging organic components in SFP area Westinghouse documents EQ-QR-269, EQ-TP-354, WNA-TR-03149-GEN provide thermal and radiation aging program details for the SFPI components. Westinghouse completed their thermal and radiation aging testing programs to qualify the SFPI components to 1.25 years. Exelon has reviewed the documents and found them acceptable.

Additionally, Westinghouse is continuing their aging tests to age the system components to 10 years. These tests are projected to be completed towards end of Summer 2014. Final test reports are scheduled to be provided to Exelon by September 4, 2014. Exelon will complete the test report reviews by September 30, 2014.

Seismic Category I Testing Seismic qualification testing performed by Westinghouse along with the technical evaluations performed by Westinghouse confirms that the SFPIS meets the seismic requirements of the vendor's design specification. Westinghouse's design specification satisfies the LaSalle Station installation requirements to withstand a SSE.

Vibration Justification Components of the system (i.e., bracket, transmitter, display enclosure) will be permanently installed to meet the requirements to withstand a SSE and will meet the LaSalle Station safety related installation requirements. Westinghouse has analyzed the pool side bracket to withstand design basis SSE. Other components of the SFPIS were subjected to shock and vibration during the seismic testing and met the requirements necessary for mounted equipment.

Sloshing Justification Page 27 of 32

LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2 Third Six-Month Status Report for the Implementation of SFPLI August 28, 2014 The sloshing calculation performed by Westinghouse was reviewed for a design basis seismic event and found acceptable. Sloshing forces were taken into consideration for the anchorage design of the pool side bracket to ensure the bracket is rigidly mounted to include sloshing affects.
