The change is described below and will be incorporated into a future update.
NEI 12-06 Rev 0 stipulates that provisions for an additional set of portable on-site equipment is essential to provide reasonable assurance that N set of FLEX equipment will remain deployable to assure success of the FLEX strategies. A subset of this portable on-site equipment are hoses and cables required to implement the FLEX

Attachment to W3F1-2015-0003 Page 3 of 13 strategies. The N set of hoses and cables are protected from all extreme external hazards. As an alternate approach, an additional length of hoses and cables will be stored with the N set of equipment rather than storing a complete second set in the N+1 Storage Building. This spare capability supports the safety functional requirements beyond the minimum necessary to support the N-units on-site, and is consistent with the industry-proposed Revision 1 to NEI 12-06 draft.
The additional length of hoses and cables to be stored with the N set of equipment will be the longer of 10% of the total hose/cable run or the longest segment of hose/cable.
The 10% criteria extends separately to each size or type of hoses and cables. The hoses and cables utilized by the WF3 FLEX strategy are not one continuous hose or cable but rather are composed of smaller sections joined together to form a sufficient length.
Hoses and cables are passive devices unlikely to fail provided they are appropriately inspected and maintained. The hoses and cables for WF3 will be stored in robust storage locations within the Nuclear Plant Island Structure (NPIS), accessible following an extreme external hazard, and will be maintained in accordance with industry recommendations through the Entergy Fleet PM Basis templates. The storage of additional spare cables and hoses for WF3 along with the N set provides additional assurance that the FLEX strategy can be implemented for all events even if a segment of the hoses or cables were to be damaged during the strategy implementation.

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 hours 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.

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.

7     Potential Interim Staff Evaluation Impacts In addition to the changes to compliance methods identified in Section 4 and the items identified in Section 6, the item discussed below has a potential impact on the Interim Staff Evaluation.
WF3 has determined that the available, robust water sources for ELAP response are adequate to extend coping to greater than 72 hours, after which NSRC equipment would be available and in place to replenish the necessary water inventories. In order to provide margin to the final strategy, additional water transfer capability is staged onsite.
Water sources, and water transfer from the Mississippi River to the plant, are discussed by the ISE in Section 3.2.4.7.
