All flood sensitive safety related systems, structures, and components have been reviewed and been determined to remain unaffected by the revised PMF surge elevation, with the exception of the Thermal Barrier Booster Pump Motors and Essential Raw Cooling Water (ERCW) equipment required for flood mode operation located on Elevation 722 of the Intake Pumping Station (IPS). The updated PMF of Elevation 739.2 could impact the ability of the thermal barrier booster pumps and the Elevation 722 IPS ERCW equipment to perform their design accident protection function.
