Other Activities 4OA5 Other Activities (TI 2515/171)The objective of Temporary Instruction (TI) 2515/171, "Verification of Site Specific Implementation of B.5.b Phase 2 & 3 Mitigating Strategies," is to verify that the commitments for implementing the Phase 2 and 3 strategies were completed by the licensee.
Inspection Report 05000247/2008008 and 05000286/2008008


The strategies for pressurized water reactors (PWRs), such as Indian Point Units 2 and 3, are listed in Table 1 of the TI. Inspection of all strategies listed in Table 1 was necessary to complete this TI. The team discussed the strategies with plant staff, reviewed documentation, and where appropriate, performed plant walk downs to verify that the strategies could be implemented as stated in the licensee's submittals and the NRC staff prepared Safety Evaluation Report (SER). For most strategies, this included verification that the strategy was feasible, procedures and/or guidance had been developed, training had been provided to plant staff, and required equipment had been identified and staged. Specific details of the team's inspection activities are described in the following sections.1. .Program Reviews a. Inspection Scope Procedures:

The team assessed how the licensee coordinated and documented the interface/transition between existing off-normal and Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs) with the newly developed mitigation strategies.
Chairman, Standing Committee on Energy, NYS Assembly Chairman, Standing Committee on Environmental Conservation, NYS Assembly Chairman, Committee on Corporations, Authorities, and Commissions M. Slobodien, Director, Emergency Planning P. Eddy, NYS Department of Public Service


The team selected a number of mitigation strategies and conducted plant walk downs with licensed operators and responsible plant staff to assess: the adequacy and completeness of the procedures; familiarity of operators with the procedure objectives and specific guidance; staging and compatibility of equipment; and the practicality of the operator actions prescribed by the procedures, consistent with the postulated scenarios.

The team also examined the licensee's plans and guidance associated with coordination of expected Emergency Response Organization (ERO), fire brigade, and security guard force response coincident with implementation of the B.5.b mitigation strategies.

Engineering Basis (Evaluations and Flow Calculations):
Congressman John Hall
The team reviewed the licensee's supporting engineering evaluations and calculations prepared as the basis that the available pumps, piping, hoses, and nozzle configurations used in the various mitigation strategies will provide the minimum required pressures and flows specified by NEI 06-12, "B.5.b Phase 2&3 Submittal Guideline," Revision 2, dated December 2006.#4 4/L ($V9Y .S t 9I/TD I V# 9/N Enclosure OWIL 916- Spj~UY If T#D #lyýVAJ$The team discussed these calculations and evaluations with the responsible engineers, independently reviewed the adequacy of the calculations and engineering assumptions, and conducted field verifications to compare the assumed configurations with the as-found and postulated bounding configurations.


Equipment:
Congresswoman Nita Lowey Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton Senator Charles Schumer
The team evaluated the adequacy of installed and portable equipment staged explicitly for implementation of the mitigation strategies.


The types of equipment examined included:
G. Shapiro, Senator Clinton's Staff J. Riccio, Greenpeace
interior fire water supply piping and hose stations; portable pump and associated suction and discharge hoses, adapters, and tools; supplies; portable radios and communications devices; and equipment lockers and associated tools. The team's review included field verification and inventory checks of standby and staged equipment, and compatibility of the portable equipment with installed systems. In addition, the team evaluated the staging/storage locations of B.5.b related equipment to ensure the survivability and availability of equipment, with respect to the proximity (>100 yards) to the postulated damage footprint.


The team also reviewed and discussed with responsible station personnel the results of any field testing of equipment performed to validate its applications in the postulated scenarios.

Modifications:

No plant modifications were needed to support implementation of the B.5.b mitigation strategies at Indian Point. Adaptors were fabricated to support the makeup of the steam generators, makeup of the refueling water storage tank and flooding of the containment flooding strategies using the portable diesel powered pump.The team examined the fabricated adapters and hardware changes to ensure the adequacy of these changes to support the mitigation strategy, consistent with the licensee's submittals and SER.Maintenance and Testing of Equipment:
The team reviewed Indian Point procedures/programs for periodic maintenance and testing of the equipment specified for B.5.b applications to ensure continued reliability and minimum unavailability.


The licensee had performed an initial test program to validate the performance of the diesel powered portable pump. This testing confirmed the pump performance curve supplied by the manufacturer.
