MF4460 and MF4461), dated April 1, 2015 On June 6, 2013, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC" or "Commission") issued an Order (Reference 1) to Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC). Reference 1 was immediately effective and directs EGC to require their BWRs with Mark I and Mark 11 containments to take certain actions to ensure that these facilities have a hardened containment vent system (HCVS) to remove decay heat from the containment, and maintain control of containment pressure within acceptable limits following events that result in 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 (FLAP). Specific requirements are outlined in Attachment 2 of Reference 1.

Reference 1 required submission of an Overall Integrated Plan (OIP) by June 30, 2014 for Phase 1 of the Order, and an OIP by December 31, 2015 for Phase 2 of the Order. The interim staff guidance (Reference 2) provides direction regarding the content of the OIP for Phase 1 and Phase 2. Reference 2 endorses industry guidance document NEI 13-02, Revision 1 (Reference 3) with clarifications and exceptions identified in Reference 2. Reference 4 provided the EGC initial response regarding reliable hardened containment vents capable of operation under severe accident conditions. Reference 5 provided the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2, Phase 1 OIP pursuant to Section IV, Condition D.1 of Reference 1. References 6 and 7 provided the first and second six-month status reports pursuant to Section IV, Condition D.3 of Reference 1 for Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station. Reference 8 provided the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2, Phase 1 updated and Phase 2 OIP pursuant to Section IV, Conditions D.2 and D.3 of Reference 1.

The purpose of this letter is to provide the fourth six-month update report for Phases 1 and 2, pursuant to Section IV, Condition D.3 of Reference 1, that delineates progress made in implementing the requirements of Reference 1 for Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2. The enclosed report provides an update of milestone accomplishments since the last status report, including any changes to the compliance method, schedule, or need for relief and the basis, if any. The enclosed report also addresses the NRC Interim Staff Evaluation open items contained in Reference 9.

It is noted that as a result of the recently announced early permanent plant shutdown date of June 1, 2018, EGC is evaluating the need for schedule relaxation and expects to submit a request for Order schedule relaxation after submittal of the notice of permanent cessation of operation for both units.

Phase 2 Changes Quad Cities completed a dose assessment based on assumed Severe Accident conditions to determine the impacts on Emergency Response Organization actions during a Beyond Design Bases External Event (BDBEE). This assessment included determining the impacts on previously planned FLEX response actions and Phase 2 HCVS response actions to implement the Severe Accident Water Addition/Severe Accident Water Management (SAWA/SAWM) strategy. The assessment indicated high dose rates in some areas currently designated for use in the primary FLEX strategy. As a result, the Phase 2 design will require the use of available alternate FLEX deployment locations and changing the sequencing of FLEX actions in those locations in order to implement the SAWA/SAWM strategy.

The following table and narrative describe the changes to the conceptual Phase 2 design as previously described in the December 2015 OI P (Reference 7), and is subject to future changes as the design progresses.

The following changes (bolded) are made to Table 3.1 of the December 2015 Overall Integrated Plan (OIP) (Ref. 7):

The Discharge Bay is already analyzed for use as a water source in response to a BDBEE IAW EA-12-049 (Reference 9). An Equipment Operator would be stationed with a Godwin HL130M diesel powered mobile pump at an existing concrete pad intended for that purpose near the Discharge Bay water level.

In the event of a LIP resulting in a Severe Accident, a Godwin HL130M will be deployed west of the Unit 1 Main Power Transformer. The LIP study (Reference 10) indicates the water is relatively stagnant in this area soon into the event response, with a depth of approximately 1 foot above grade. A grating to the Site storm drain system will be removed, and the suction hose will be dropped into the drain.

From the FLEX/SAWA pump (at either Discharge Bay or western storm drain), a 5" diameter hose will route to the line-of-site dose shadow of the Turbine and Reactor Buildings, through the Turbine Building, to a manifold near the centerline of the ground floor (595' elevation).

Several paths are available for routing this hose, so a partial collapse of the Turbine Building would not inhibit hose deployment. The length of the discharge hose is bounded by the existing FLEX hydraulic analysis (1350 feet, Reference 11), so there will be sufficient pressure and flow at the manifold to meet all water demands during the event.

From the manifold, 5" hoses will lead to three 6" pipes through wall penetrations between the Turbine Building and the Reactor Building. Each penetration will have a 6" gate valve in the Turbine Building to maintain Secondary Containment during normal operation.

In the Reactor Building, 5" fire hoses will connect the pipe penetrations to Storz connections installed under EA-12-049 to provide FLEX water supply to both Reactor Pressure Vessels (RPVs). The location of the wall penetrations at the ground level of the Reactor Building (595') centerline will be such that one 50-foot length of 5" hose will bridge each wall penetration to its respective RPV supply Storz connection.

Page 7 of 14

Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2 Fourth Six-Month Status Report for the Implementation of HCVS Phases 1 and 2 June 30, 2016 Due to the timeline for Severe Accident progression and the rise of dose rates in the Reactor Building, the hose deployment in the Reactor Building will be performed in the first hour post-event. Hose deployment outside of the Reactor Building will conform to the FLEX response timeline, which is more limiting than the Severe Accident timeline.

Under this plan, the only difference between the water demand for a FLEX response and a SAWA response is flow rate. The FLEX hydraulic analysis used an input of 196 gpm to a single RPV, where SAWA requires 400 gpm to a single RPV starting at 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> post-event and reducing to 80 gpm at 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> post-event. Each Godwin HL130M pump is capable of flow in excess of 1000 gpm.

5 Need for Relief/Relaxation and Basis for the Relief/Relaxation Quad Cities Station will comply with the Order implementation date and no relief/relaxation is required at this time. However, as a result of the recently announced early permanent plant shutdown date of June 1, 2018, EGC is evaluating the need for schedule relaxation and expects to submit a request for Order schedule relaxation after submittal of the notice of permanent cessation of operation for both units.
