Dear Sir or Madam:
On March 12, 2012, the NRC issued Order Number EA-12-049 (Reference 1) to Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy). The order was immediately effective and required Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 (Waterford 3) to develop mitigating strategy provisions for beyond-design-basis external events.
Reference 1 required submission of an initial status report 60 days following issuance of the final interim staff guidance (Reference 2) and an Overall Integrated Plan (OIP). Reference 2 endorses industry guidance document NEI 12-06, Revision 1 (Reference 3). Reference 4 provided the initial status report regarding mitigating strategies and Reference 5 provided the OIP.
NRC Order EA-12-049 requires submission of a status report at six-month intervals following submittal of the Overall Integrated Plan with regard to the requirements for mitigation strategies for beyond-design-basis external events for Waterford 3. References 6, 7, 8 and 9 provided the first, second, third and fourth six-month status reports for Waterford 3 respectively. The purpose of this letter is to provide, as an attachment, the fifth six month status report for the implementation of Order EA-12-049.
There are no new commitments identified in this submittal. Should you have any questions concerning the content of this letter, please contact John Jarrell, Regulatory Assurance Manager, at (504) 739-6685.
W3F1-2015-0067 Page 3 of 3 I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on August 27, 2015.
Sincerely, MRC/AJH

- This date corresponds to the last six month status report and provides time to compile the report following the completion of the fall 2015 Implementation Outage.
- Target Completion Date is the last submitted date from either the overall integrated plan or previous six-month status reports 4 Changes to Compliance Method There are no changes to the compliance method as documented in the Overall Integrated Plan (OIP) (Reference 1) and in previous documents (References 3, 5, 6 and 7).
5 Need for Relief/Relaxation and Basis for the Relief/Relaxation Waterford 3 expects to comply with the order implementation date and no relief/relaxation is required at this time.
Attachment to W3F1-2015-0067 Page 3 of 16 6 Open Items from Overall Integrated Plan and Interim Staff Evaluation The following table provides a summary and status of any open items documented in the overall integrated plan and any open items or confirmatory items documented in the Interim Staff Evaluation (ISE). A fourth table includes a listing of Audit Questions and the status of each item.
A fifth table includes the FLEX-related NRC Audit Visit Open Items, which includes open items on previously issued Audit Questions that were not closed during the July 2015 NRC Audit Visit and their status.
Note that during the July 2015 NRC Audit Visit, the NRC utilized a spreadsheet entitled Waterford SE Item Tracker to maintain a status of Open Items associated with development of the NRCs Safety Evaluation. The SE Tracker numbered each item with an Audit Item No.
based on the category of the Open Item. The categories were:
A. ISE Open and Confirmatory Items (Audit Item OI-xxxxx or CI-xxxxx)
B. Audit Questions (Audit Item AQ. X)
C. Licensee OIP Open Items (Audit Item OIP. X)
D. SFP Instrumentation RAIs (Audit Item SFP. X)
E. Combined SE Template Technical Review Gaps (Audit Item SE. X)
In the Status columns of the following tables, the phrase This item was closed during [following]
the July 2015 NRC Audit Visit indicates that the item was closed during or following the NRC Audit and is considered closed Overall Integrated Plan Open Item Status OI1. The suction path from the TDEFWP to the WCTs would be This item was closed through a non-running ACCWS pump post-ELAP. It is during the July 2015 expected that both the TDEFWP and the currently sized EFW NRC Audit Visit.
FLEX pump (primary strategy) will have sufficient capability and/or NPSH to do so. However, this will need to be confirmed more fully as the detailed design of the primary strategy for maintaining core cooling and heat removal evolves (with SGs available).
OI2. An analysis will be needed to demonstrate that containment This item was closed pressure and temperature will stay at acceptable levels during the July 2015 throughout the ELAP event and that no containment spray NRC Audit Visit system will be required as part of FLEX.

OI4. It is currently unclear how long gravity feed from the SITs can This item was closed be maintained during Modes 5 and 6 in Phase 1. The ability to during the July 2015 gravity feed depends upon SIT fluid height/backpressure, line NRC Audit Visit losses through the gravity flow path, and developed pressure within the RCS. If this time is sufficiently short, Waterford 3 may choose to pre-stage requisite FLEX equipment in Modes 5

OI5. It is expected that only the component cooling water system This item was closed and dry cooling towers will need to be made operational to during the July 2015 reject the heat load generated post-ELAP in Phase 3. NRC Audit Visit.
However, this must be investigated more fully to confirm such. Notably, only 60% of the dry cooling tower fan motors are currently missile protected and none of the wet cooling tower (WCT) fan motors are missile protected. If more than 60% of dry cooling tower (DCT) capacity is needed to support Phase 3, DCT and/or WCT fan motors may need to be missile protected. Currently available information follows:
The DCT one train heat removal in an accident would be 113.38 Mbtu/hr. Given that 60% of the DCT is missile protected, its assumed that that 40% of the heat removal capability is lost. 38 hours4.398148e-4 days <br />0.0106 hours <br />6.283069e-5 weeks <br />1.4459e-5 months <br /> after shutdown, decay heat is less than 68 Mbtu/hr (ANS 79 decay heat curve) and less than the heat removal capacity of the DCTs. As the event proceeds, the required heat removal will decrease. Until this point in the event, Phase 1 and 2 FLEX strategies will be capable of removing decay heat. Final system operating details for the CCW and DCT (i.e., number of pumps and fans to operate) still need to be determined.

If a different decay heat model is used, describe the specific model and address the adequacy of the model and the analytical results.

This conduit installation does not meet the NRC Order EA-12-051, which requires The spent fuel pool level instrument channels shall be arranged in a manner that provides reasonable protection of the level indication function against missiles that may result from damage to the structure over the spent fuel pool. This protection may be provided by locating the instruments to maintain instrument channel separation within the spent fuel pool area, and to utilize inherent shielding from missiles provided by existing recesses and corners in the spent fuel pool structure.

The staff considers this an alternative to NEI 12-06 Section 3.2.2. Specifically, Table D-1 provides guidance on primary and alternate connections and states that injection points are, required to inject through separate divisions/trains, i.e., should not have both connections in one division/train. While the licensee has multiple injection paths for core cooling downstream of the FLEX manifold, all cooling water delivery paths must be routed through the single WCT outlet and connection point.
Therefore, both the primary and alternate methods share a common connection.
