In order to address the concerns outlined In order to address the concerns outlined in RIS (Regulatory Information Summary) 2015-06 'TORNADO MISSILE PROTECTION', an evaluation of tornado missile vulnerabilities and their potential impact on Technical Specification (TS) plant equipment was conducted. This evaluation concluded that the following Structures, Systems, and Components (SSCs) are potentially vulnerable to tornado generated missiles:</br>The BVPS Unit 1 (BV-1) and BVPS Unit 2 (BV-2) Main Steam Safety Valve (MSSVs) discharge flow paths to atmosphere (reference TS 3.7.1) are potentially vulnerable to tornado generated missiles. A tornado could generate missiles capable of striking the exhaust piping of the MSSVs potentially crimping the piping and resulting in reduced flow capacity. In the worst case, all MSSV's could be rendered inoperable. This condition is reportable per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B), and 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(A).</br>The BV-1 and BV-2 Atmospheric Steam Dumps (ADVs) discharge flow paths to atmosphere (reference TS 3.7.4) are potentially vulnerable to tornado generated missiles. A tornado could generate missiles capable of striking the exhaust piping of the ADVs potentially crimping the piping and resulting in reduced flow capacity. In the worst case, all ADVs could be rendered inoperable. This condition is reportable per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B), and 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(A).</br>The BV-2 Auxiliary Building tornado missile shield door (A-35-5A), credited for tornado missile protection of the Primary Component Cooling Water (PCCW) system, was found to not be fully closed and latched. A tornado could generate missiles capable of striking the PCCW system with the missile door open rendering both trains of the PCCW system inoperable. This door is now maintained closed and latched except when opened under administrative controls. This condition is reportable per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B).</br>The BV-2 Spent Fuel Building tornado missile shield door (F-66-3), credited for tornado missile protection of the irradiated fuel assemblies in the Spent Fuel Pool including the Cask Pit, was found to not be fully closed and latched. This door is now maintained closed and latched except when opened under administrative controls. This condition is reportable per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B).</br>The potential tornado missile vulnerabilities for the MSSVs and ADVs (discussed above) are being addressed in accordance with EGM-15-002 Rev 1 and DSS-ISG-2016-01 (NRC enforcement discretion and interim guidance documents). Immediate compensatory measures were taken to reduce the likelihood and mitigate the potential consequences of an onsite tornado generated missiles.</br>The NRC Resident inspector has been notified. NRC Resident inspector has been notified.
