MF4416 and MF4417), dated August 2, 2016 On June 6, 2013, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRG" or "Commission") issued an Order (Reference 1) to Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGG). Reference 1 was immediately effective and directs EGG to require their BWRs with Mark I and Mark II 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 (ELAP). 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 (References 2 and 3) provide direction regarding the content of the OIP for Phase 1 and Phase 2. Reference 3 endorses industry guidance document NEI 13-02, Revision 1 (Reference 4) with clarifications and exceptions identified in References 2 and 3. Reference 5 provided the EGG initial response regarding reliable hardened containment vents capable of operation under severe accident conditions. Reference 6 provided the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3, Phase 1 OIP pursuant to Section IV, Condition D.1 of Reference 1. References 7 and 8 provided the first and second six-month status reports pursuant to Section IV, Condition D.3 of Reference 1 for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station. Reference 9 provided the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3, Phase 1 updated and Phase 2 OIP pursuant to Section IV, Conditions D.2 and D.3 of Reference 1. Reference 1O provided the fourth six-month status report pursuant to Section IV, Condition D.3 of Reference 1 for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station. The purpose of this letter is to provide the fifth 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 Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3. 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

Enclosure Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3 Fifth Six-Month Status Report for Phases 1 and 2 Implementation of Order EA-13-109, "Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Reliable Hardened Containment Vents Capable of Operation Under Severe Accident Conditions" 1 Introduction Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (PBAPS) developed an Overall Integrated Plan (Reference 1 in Section 8), documenting the installation of a Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) that provides a reliable hardened venting capability for pre-core damage and under severe accident conditions, including those involving a breach of the reactor vessel by molten core debris, in response to Reference 2. This is the second six-month status report updating milestone accomplishments based on the combined Phases 1 and 2 Overall Integrated Plan dated December 15, 2015. PBAPS developed an updated and combined Phases 1 and 2 Overall Integrated Plan (Reference 6 in Section 8), documenting: 1 . The installation of a Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) that provides a reliable hardened venting capability for pre-core damage and under severe accident conditions, including those involving a breach of the reactor vessel by molten core debris, in response to Reference 2.

2. An alternative venting strategy that makes it unlikely that a drywall vent is needed to protect the containment from overpressure related failure under severe accident conditions, including those that involve a breach of the reactor vessel by molten core debris, in response to Reference 2 This enclosure provides an update of milestone accomplishments since submittal of the Fourth Six-Month Status Report for Phase 1 and Phase 2 Overall Integrated Plan, including any changes to the compliance method, schedule, or need for relief/relaxation and the basis, if any.

Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3 Fifth Six-Month Status Report for the Implementation of HCVS Phases 1 and 2 December 15, 2016 4 Changes to Compliance Method It was previously communicated in the combined Phases 1 and 2 Overall Integrated Plan (Reference 6) that the existing HCVS radiation monitoring system (RMS) was to be modified for both Unit 2 and Unit 3 such that the FLEX Diesel Generator will provide backup power to the system and that the detector and associated cabling was to be replaced and relocated; however, the existing HCVS RMS will not be modified. A new HCVS RMS was installed for Unit 2 and a new HCVS RMS will be installed for Unit 3 in addition to the existing system. This new HCVS RMS includes a detector assembly (RE-81405) located on elevation 195'-0" of the Unit 2 Reactor Building, processor (RT-81405) located in the Remote Operating Station (ROS), and indicator (Rl-81405) located in Main Control Room Panel 20C010. The FLEX Diesel Generator will provide backup power to the new HCVS RMS. The new HCVS RMS is designed to align with the guidance provided in NEI 13-02, Rev. 1 (Reference 3). The installed capacity of the argon purge system was also previously communicated in the combined Phases 1 and 2 Overall Integrated Plan (Reference 6) to be sized for at least 8 purges within the first 24 hours of an ELAP. A generic number of 8 Wetwell vent cycles within the first 24 hours of an ELAP is determined to be reasonable per HCVS-WP-02 (Reference 9). HCVS-WP-02 also states that the number of vent cycles is dependent on the strategy and scenario selected for the evaluation and a plant specific analysis can be used to determine the number of cycles estimated during the first 24 hours. The generic number of 8 Wetwell vent cycles is based on a 20 psi pressure control band for containment pressure. Peach Bottom will utilize a 41 psi pressure control band (15 - 56 psig). The high end of the pressure control band (56 psig) is the Primary Containment Design Pressure for Peach Bottom and the low end of the pressure control band (15 psig) is based on EPRI Severe Accident Management Guidance Technical Basis Report, Volume 2, Appendix S. Using this pressure control band, a Modular Accident Analysis Program (MAAP) calculation (Reference 11) was developed using MAAP 4.0.6. This analysis resulted in a MAAP calculation of four (4) containment vent cycles within the first 24 hours of an ELAP. Based on the results of this analysis, the installed capacity of the argon purge system will be sized for at least 4 purges within the first 24 hours of an ELAP. There are no other changes to the compliance method outlined in Reference 6. 5 Need for Relief/Relaxation and Basis for the Relief/Relaxation PBAPS expects to comply with the order implementation date and no relief/relaxation is required at this time. 6 Open Items from Combined Phases 1 and 2 Overall Integrated Plan and Interim Staff Evaluations The following tables provide a summary of the open items documented in the combined Phases 1 and 2 Overall Integrated Plan or the Interim Staff Evaluation (ISE) for Phase 1 and Phase 2 and the status of each item.

(2) The refueling station is south of the Unit 2 reactor building south wall. The refueling station must be within the area shielded from the HCVS vent pipe by the shadow of the Unit 2 reactor building south wall. The closer the refueling station is to the turbine building, the smaller will be the scattered dose rate from activity within the HCVS vent pipe. If the refueling station is near the Unit 2 diesel generator location near the reactor bu~ding equipment access lock, then the direct dose rate will be similar to the reported dose rates for the Unit 2 diesel oenerator.

The stairwell enc losure has a 1o* thick concrete wall and there is a doorway into the stairwell enclosure. The dose r ate in the stairwell enc losure is estim ated to be be in the range of 0.5 Rlhr to 11 Rlhr and the dose rate on the stairs is estimated to range from 30 to 11 Rlhr w ith the highest dose rate due to shine through the floor hatch into the stairwell.
