NPF-35 AND NPF-52Page 1 ENCLOSURECNS Fourth Sixth Month Status Report (Order EA-12-049)Page 21 IntroductionCatawba Nuclear Station (CNS) developed an Overall Integrated Plan (Reference 1 in Section 8),documenting the diverse and flexible strategies (FLEX), in response to NRC Order EA-12-049(Reference 2 in Section 8). The Overall Integrated Plan (OIP) was submitted to the NRC onFebruary 28, 2013. This enclosure provides an update of milestone accomplishments includingany changes to the compliance method, schedule, or need for relief/relaxation and the basis, ifany, that occurred during the period from July 29, 2014 to January 28, 2015 (hereafter referred toas "the update period").2 Milestone AccomplishmentsThe following milestones were completed during the update period:1) Third Six-Month Status Report for Catawba Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2 wassubmitted on August 28, 2014.2) Phase II Staffing Study per NEI 12-01 submitted to the NRC on October 28, 2014.3 Milestone Schedule StatusThe following provides an update to Attachment 2 of the Overall Integrated Plan. It provides theactivity status of each item, and whether the expected completion date has changed from thatstated in Attachment 2 of the OIP.

These changes do not impact Catawba Nuclear Stationscompliance with NEI 12-06.1) Changqe: All references to the Regional Response Center (RRC) in the OIP shall now becalled the National SAFER Response Center (NSRC). Further designation can be NSRC-M for the Memphis location and NSRC-P for the Phoenix location.Justification: Industry/Utility groups decided to rename the Regional Response Centersand all involved parties agreed upon the change.Documentation: Reference 9/11/14 letter from Joseph E. Pollack, NEI, to Jack R. Davis,NRC/NRR regarding National SAFER Response Center Operational Status (ADAMSAccession No. ML14259A222) and White Paper on National SAFER Response Center(ADAMS Accession No. ML14259A223)2) Change: Line Item 12 on Page 7 of 94 in the OIP states that a portable diesel drivenpump should be aligned to the Nuclear Service Water (RN) system in 10 hours to providelong term makeup for the Spent Fuel Pool (SFP) and Steam Generators (S/Gs). Based onfurther analysis, it is not necessary to have the RN system filled and pressurized for atleast 40 hours to support SFP makeup.Justification: Based on the available water supply in the seismically robust CondenserCooling Water (RC) system, the Turbine Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump can feed theS/Gs with the RC water source for at least 5 days on Unit 1 and for at least 8 days on Unit2. RN makeup to the SFP is not required for 40 hours to maintain at least 10 feet of waterabove the top of the fuel assemblies based on worst case evaporation rates in the SFP.Documentation: Reference Appendix L in Report No. 030321.13.01-001, Rev. 1 (SeismicRobustness Review Of Catawba Unit 1 Non-Safety Piping And Components For DiverseAnd Flexible Mitigation Strategies (Flex) dated January 2014, Westinghouse calculationCN-SEE-II-13-22 (Catawba Nuclear Station FLEX Alternate Cooling Evaluation InputAuxiliary Feedwater Usage) dated 7/23/14, and email from Darrell Davies to JordanPenley dated 5/21/14 with subject line "RE: Catawba ELAP".3) Change: Line Item 19 on Page 7 of 94 and the Phase 1 Containment discussion on Page35 of 94 in the OIP states that containment pressure remains below design limits for atleast 72 hours. The final containment analysis for Catawba determined that containmentpressures actually exceed design pressure about 52 hours into the event (15 psig designand 17.5 psig at 52 hours).Justification: An evaluation of the containment structure and associated penetrations wasperformed and it was determined that no significant issues exist when containmentpressures reach 17.5 psigDocumentation: Open Item 94.
ENCLOSURE Page 5CNS Fourth Sixth Month Status Report (Order EA-12-049)4) Change: Line Items 20 and 21 on Page 7 of 94, the Phase 2 Containment discussionstarting on Page 37 of 94, the Phase 3 Containment discussion starting on Page 41 of 94,Action Item 26 and 27 on Page 71 of 94, Portable Pump Supply to Containment Spray SitePlan drawing on Page 81 of 94, Open Items 21 and 22 on Page 91 of 94, and Open Item42 on Page 92 of 94 in the OIP all deal with using Containment Spray fortemperature/pressure control. Containment Spray will no longer be used forpressure/temperature control based on the latest containment analysis.Justification: Due to concerns with not having enough containment spray capabilities (flowrates and pressures from the portable pumps) to provide adequate pressure/temperaturecontrol and the fact that the containment spray water would add to flooding issues insidecontainment, a different containment pressure/temperature control strategy wasdeveloped. The new strategy makes use of the Hydrogen Skimmer, Containment AirReturn, and Lower Containment ventilation fans to provide the necessary temperature andpressure controls until Residual Heat Removal strategies are put in service.Documentation: Reference Rev. 2 of DPC-1 552.08-00-0280 (Extended Loss of AC Power(ELAP) -Ice Condenser Containment Response with FLEX Mitigation Strategies).5) Change: The last paragraph under Item 3 on Page 9 of 94 in the OIP states that the50.54(hh)(2) (B.5.b) pump is credited in the FLEX mitigating strategies and that this pumpwill be moved into one of the new FLEX storage facilities that also meets all 50.54(hh)(2)requirements. The B.5.b pump is no longer being credited in the Flex mitigationstrategies.Justification: Additional pumps and equipment have been purchased to support all therequirements for the Flex mitigation strategies. As such, use of the B.5.b pump is nolonger necessary.Documentation: Reference Flex mitigation strategies in the Emergency OperatingProcedures, Abnormal Operating Procedures, and Flex Support Guidelines. Open Items37 and 53.6) Change: There are a number of references to the RRC Playbook throughout the OIP (seePages 3, 12, 23, and 92 of 94). This document is now referred to as the SAFERResponse Plan for Catawba Nuclear Station.Justification: Reference Rev. 001 of the SAFER Response Plan for Catawba NuclearStation approved on 1/29/15.Documentation: Open Item 55.
ENCLOSURE Page 6CNS Fourth Sixth Month Status Report (Order EA-12-049)7) Change: The wording related to the Alternate Power Distribution strategy mentioned onPage 16 and 55 in the OIP needs to be clarified as follows: Wording on Page 16 and 55should say "If normal power supplies are not available, they will be disconnected to allowconnection of alternate supply cables. A quantity of alternate supply cables will beavailable to replace the Flex power supplies normally provided to a common plant area. Ifnecessary, alternate supply cables can be connected at the portable diesel generator.Procedural guidelines will direct these activities (Open Item 58)".Justification: The existing wording in the OIP for the Alternate Power Distribution strategycan be interpreted a number of different ways. As such, the wording has been revised toprovide a little more clarification. Specific actions related to the Alternate Power strategywill be contained in the associated procedures.Documentation: Open Item 58.8) Change: Per discussion with CNS and MNS Engineering, Safety Analysis, Westinghouse,and MPR it was determined that a new pressure breakdown orifice will be required in eachof the Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) No.1 seal leak off lines, upstream of the existing floworifice. Westinghouse has conservatively provided an assumed worst case pressure of2045 psia at the No.1 seal outlet following an Extended Loss of All AC Power (ELAP)event. The new pressure breakdown orifice is needed to prevent damage/degradation tothe existing flow orifice because of excessive delta P. Additional piping stress and supportanalysis will also be performed once the new temperature/pressure profile is determined toensure all of the associated seal leak off line components retain their pressure boundaryfunction.Justification: All of the analyses related to an ELAP assume the leak rate from the RCPNo. 1 seal is 21 gpm or less. To ensure this assumption remains valid, a new pressurebreakdown orifice needs to be installed in the RCP No. 1 seal leak off line for each pumpto lower pressures enough such that downstream components do not fail and create thepossibility for leak rates greater than 21 gpm.Documentation: Open Item 96.5 Need for Relief/Relaxation and Basis for the Relief/RelaxationCNS expects to comply with the order implementation date and no relief/relaxation is required atthis time.
