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 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 (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. Reference 9 provided the fourth six-month status report pursuant to Section IV, Condition D.3 of Reference 1 for Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station.

Enclosure Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2 Fifth Six Month Status Report for the 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 Quad Cities 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. Updates of milestone accomplishments will be based on the combined Phases 1 and 2 Overall Integrated Plan dated December 16, 2015.
Quad Cities developed an updated and combined Phases 1 and 2 Overall Integrated Plan (Reference 7 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 drywell 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 the Fourth Six-Month Update of the combined Phases 1 and 2 Overall Integrated Plan, including any changes to the compliance method, schedule, or need for relief/relaxation and the basis, if any.
In Reference 24, EGC requested an extension to comply with NRC Order EA-13-109 based on the earlier decision to permanently cease power operations at Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2 by June 1, 2018, which caused engineering design and plant modification activities supporting Order implementation to be discontinued. As a result of the recent reversed cessation of operation decision, in Reference 25 EGC withdrew this request for extension to comply and provided a revised request for extension to comply with NRC Order EA-13-109 based on the continued operation of both units. EGC has now resumed work to complete full implementation of NRC Order EA-13-109 at Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2 in accordance with this update to the Overall Integrated Plan, Section 3, Milestone Schedule, which is consistent with the requested extension letter (Reference 25).

4 Changes to Compliance Method Phase 1 Changes None Phase 2 Changes Quad Cities contracted a dose assessment, based on assumed Severe Accident conditions, in order to determine effects on Emergency Response Organization actions during a Beyond Design Bases External Event (BDBEE), including effects on previously planned FLEX response actions and Phase 2 HCVS response actions to implement a SAWA /
SAWM strategy. The assessment showed high dose rates in some areas currently designated as part of the primary FLEX strategy. This requires the use of the alternate FLEX deployment locations and changing the priorities of FLEX actions in those areas.
The following Table 3.1 and narrative describes the current conceptual design as previously described in the Fourth Six Month update of June 2016 (Ref. 23). There are no Table 3.1 changes in this report. Table 3.1 is subject to future changes as the design progresses.

The Discharge Bay is already analyzed for use as a water source in response to a BDBEE IAW EA-12-049 (Ref. 9). A Godwin HL130M diesel powered mobile pump would be stationed 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 (Ref. 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.
From the manifold, 5" hoses will lead to four 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 Page 10 of 20
(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.
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 Severe Accident Water Addition (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.
The discharge of the Godwin pump shall route to one core bore into the Heater Pull Space through the west Turbine Building wall, which would be filled with a pipe with hose connections on both sides. This will allow hoses to route inside from the western wall to the Distribution Manifold.
During a Severe Accident, an Equipment Operator stationed at the Discharge Bay pad will be exposed to 311 mR/hr. For LIP events, dose is expected to be less than 1 mR/hr in the shadow of the Offgas Building.

5 Need for Relief/Relaxation and Basis for the Relief/Relaxation Quad Cities has requested HCVS schedule relief until June 30, 2018 due to the delay while anticipating permanent plant shutdown. Since reversal of the decision for permanent plant shutdown has now been made, previously planned work can be restarted based on this revised schedule (Reference 25).
On June 20, 2016, EGC notified the NRC that it had decided to permanently cease power operations at the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2 by June 1, 2018 (Reference 26). In Reference 24, EGC requested on November 16, 2016, schedule relaxation of the requirements of NRC Orders EA-13-109 and EA-12-049 for Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2 based on the planned cessation of operations.
In Reference 27, EGC notified the NRC on December 14, 2016, that EGC has reversed the permanent cessation of operation decision and, therefore, both units will continue to operate beyond June 1, 2018.
As a result of the recent reversed cessation of operation decision, on January 12, 2017 under Reference 25, EGC withdrew this request for extension to comply and provided a revised request for extension to comply with NRC Order EA-13-109 based on the continued operation of both units. Under the revised request, additional time is needed to complete implementation of the remaining engineering and design activities, plant modifications, and procedural and training activities required to fully implement the requirements of NRC Order EA-13-109 and NRC Order EA-12-049 for Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and
- 2. As such, EGC has now resumed work to complete full implementation of NRC Order EA-13-109 at Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2 in accordance with this updated Overall Integrated Plan, Section 3, Milestone Schedule, which is consistent with the requested extension letter (Reference 25).
The basis for the completion dates under this revised request for extension is as follows:
NRC Order EA-13-109,Section IV.B requires licensees to complete implementation of Phase 1 (severe accident capable wetwell venting system) no later than startup from the second refueling outage that begins after June 30, 2014, or June 30, 2018, whichever occurs first. NRC Order EA-13-109,Section IV.B also requires licensees to complete implementation of Phase 2 (severe accident capable drywell venting system or alternate venting strategy) no later than startup from the first refueling outage that begins after June 30, 2017, or June 30, 2019, whichever occurs first.
Thus, NRC Order EA-13-109,Section IV requires that Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1 shall complete implementation of Phase 1 of the Order no later than startup from the Q1 R24 refueling outage (Spring 2017), and completion of implementation of Phase 2 of the Order no later than startup from the Q1 R25 refuel outage (Spring 2019). NRC Order EA 109,Section IV requires that Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Unit 2 shall complete implementation of Phases 1 and 2 of the Order no later than startup from the Q2R24 refueling outage (Spring 2018).
In accordance with Section IV of NRC Order EA-13-109, EGC requested under Reference 25 that the Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, grant an extension to comply with Page 13 of 20
the requirements in Section IV of NRC Order EA-13-109 concerning implementation of the Phase 1 (wetwell vent) at Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2, and NRC Order EA-12-049 at Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2, until June 30, 2018.
Additionally, EGC requested an extension to comply with the requirements in Section IV of NRC Order EA-13-109 concerning implementation of the Phase 2 (alternate venting strategy) at Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Unit 2 until June 30, 2018. No request for extension to comply with Phase 2 of Order EA-13-109 for Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1 is needed at this time. The enclosure to Reference 25 provides the basis and justification supporting the request for extension to comply with the requirements of NRC Orders EA-13-109 Phase 1 and EA-12-049 for Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1; and for extension to comply with the requirements of NRC Orders EA-13-109 Phases 1 and 2, and EA-12-049 for Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Unit 2. The requested schedule extension to June 30, 2018 does not extend compliance beyond the latest compliance dates specified in NRC Order EA-13-109 for Phase 1 (June 30, 2018) or Phase 2 (June 30, 2019).
The request for extension to comply under Reference 25 supersedes the previous request for extension to comply provided in Reference 24. Therefore, EGC requested that the requested extension to comply provided in Reference 24 be withdrawn.
No additional need for relief/relaxation relative to Order EA-13-109 (Ref 2), other than as described above, has been identified at this time.

ISE-11 Provide a description of the strategies for Completed - As described in the December 2015 01P hydrogen control that minimizes the potential (Ref. 7), the HCVS torus vent path in each Quad Cities for hydrogen gas migration and ingress into unit, starting at and including the downstream PCIV, the Reactor Building or other buildings. will be a dedicated HCVS flow path. There are no interconnected systems downstream of the downstream, dedicated HCVS PCIV. Interconnected systems are upstream of the downstream HCVS PCIV and are isolated by normally shut, fail shut PCIVs which, if open, would shut on an FLAP. There is no shared HCVS piping between the two units.
The vent path will rely on Argon purge system to prevent the formation of a combustible gas mixture from forming within the line (Refs. 14, 15 and 17).
