Introduction STPNOC developed an Overall Integrated Plan (OIP) (Reference 1 in Section 8), documenting the diverse and flexible strategies (FLEX), in response to Reference
- 2. This attachment provides the second update of milestone accomplishments since submittal of the OIP, including any changes to the compliance method, schedule, or need for relief/relaxation and the basis, if any. Because several changes have occurred to the OIP, the following is a brief overview of STP's current basic strategies to meet the Order. Changes to the OIP specific to this update are emphasized with italics.NOTE: All flow rates and pressures are approximate Overview of how the strategies work together: If the Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP) occurs while the Steam Generators (SGs) are being used as the heat sink, the Turbine Driven Auxiliary Feedwater (TDAFW) pump will start automatically and feed one SG. Operators will then manually line up feedwater to all SGs.Operators will cooldown and depressurize the plant to a predetermined SG pressure, ensuring a cooldown will not result in a return to criticality event and the cooldown will not allow nitrogen into the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) from the Safety Injection (SI) accumulators.
Once the cooldown begins, site personnel will begin to focus on starting the FLEX diesel generators and mechanically and electrically lining up FLEX equipment to be placed in service.Cooldown and depressurization should start during the first hour following initial event. After approximately ten hours, one of the FLEX DGs will be running and providing power to an RCS makeup pump permitting boric acid to be added to the RCS to maintain shutdown margin. Once the SI accumulators are isolated or vented, then the RCS will be further depressurized and cooled down. This subsequent cooldown and depressurization is to seat the pressure relief valve (PRV) on the Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) seal return line that should have opened due to the increased RCP seal leakage early in the event. At about 15 hours1.736111e-4 days <br />0.00417 hours <br />2.480159e-5 weeks <br />5.7075e-6 months <br /> into the event, the PRV should be re-seated.
Pressurizer level will be restored and makeup to the RCS will no longer be necessary at approximately 22 hours2.546296e-4 days <br />0.00611 hours <br />3.637566e-5 weeks <br />8.371e-6 months <br /> following event start.Most of STP's strategies now involve the use of a primary and alternate means to meet the safety functions for the Order instead of only using an N and +1 pump. Having diverse strategies make the response more robust and the station is more likely to survive any event.The revised sequence of events timelines are based conservatively on starting the FLEX diesel generator and associated pumps and equipment at hour 10 following event initiation.
- FLEX POWER -Two 480V AC, 1000 kW diesel generators (N and +1) will be staged on the Mechanical Auxiliary Building (MAB) roof of each unit in an enclosure that protects them from external hazards.
Attachment 1 NOC-AE-14003089 Page 2 of 11 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM (RCS) INVENTORY (Modes 1-4) -The primary strategy for filling the RCS will use a 35 gpm Chemical and Volume Control System (CVCS) Positive Displacement pump (PDP) at 3100 psig taking suction on either the Boric Acid Tanks (BATs) or the Refueling Water Storage Tank (RWST) and discharging into the CVCS charging line. The alternate means of filling the RCS is a pre-staged 40 gpm FLEX RCS Makeup pump at 700 psi installed in one of the SI pump bays located in the Fuel Handling Building (FHB). Suction is from the RWST, discharging into the SI line downstream of High Head SI discharge motor-operated valve (MOV). The pump size has changed from 1600 psig discharge pressure to 700 psig to reduce the physical size of the pump. STP has the ability to vent the reactor head thus allowing the use of this smaller head pump.* CORE COOLING (Modes 1-4) -Initial core cooling is accomplished using the Turbine Driven Auxiliary Feedwater (TDAFW) pump. In the event the TDAFW pump is lost, the primary strategy for cooling the core is a new 300 gpm at 500 psig pre-staged motor-driven FLEX SG Makeup pump located in the Isolation Valve Cubicle (IVC) that will take suction from the Auxiliary Feedwater Storage Tank (AFWST) and discharge into the cross-connect header that feeds all four SGs. The alternate means of feeding the SGs uses a trailer mounted diesel driven high capacity pump that will feed the SGs using the normal Feedwater lines. This alternate strategy provides flexibility and diversity to meet this safety function.* CORE COOLING/RCS INVENTORY (Modes 5 and 6 without SGs when natural circulation is not available)
-The primary strategy uses a 170 gpm at 100 psi FLEX pump that will be located in the FHB SI pump bays. It will use the identical suction and discharge path as the Modes 1-4 RCS Inventory (Makeup) FLEX pump. The alternate means of filling the RCS will be a Boric Acid (BA) Transfer pump and CVCS piping. The BA Transfer pump can deliver 140 gpm at 180 psi.* SPENT FUEL POOL (SFP) MAKEUP AND SPRAY -There are 3 different makeup means required in the guidance: o The normal makeup mode will be using a Reactor Makeup Water (RMW) pump and opening FC-0048, which is the valve used to fill the SFP.o The hose to the pool method will be a 250 gpm at 150 psi pre-staged FLEX SFP Makeup pump in the FHB. Hose fittings will be installed on the end of the pipe and temporary hoses will be staged in the area. Hoses will be routed from this location to the SFP. This FLEX pump suction is from the RWST.o The spray method uses this same above mentioned pump but hoses are routed to the monitors on the south end of the SFP deck.WATER SUPPLIES o RCS Inventory
-RWST and BA Storage tanks will be the primary tanks used to makeup to the RCS. The tanks will not deplete because of the new strategy of depressurizing the RCS to the point that the loss of coolant via the RCP seal return pressurized safety valve (PSV) will stop. Thus, not more than 70,000 gallons should be needed to refill the RCS following seating the PSV.o Core Cooling (Modes 1-4) -For external events other than the Design Basis (DB) flood from a Reservoir embankment breach, the AFWST will be re-filled Attachment 1 NOC-AE-14003089 Page 3 of 11 using a diesel driven pump from the Regional Response Center (RRC) or using one of STP's trailer mounted diesel driven pumps. The suction source can be any one of a number of tanks, basins or the Ultimate Heat Sink, whichever is available.
For the DB flood from a Reservoir embankment breach, water level around the AFWST at about 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br /> (fill start time) into the event will still be approximately five feet deep. A modification to the Feedwater Dearator will allow its water to be moved via hose and gravity to the AFWST via drain lines in the AFW system. This will provide enough water for continued AFW system running until the flood waters subside.o Core Cooling (shutdown)
-RWST will be the primary tank used to makeup to the RCS. Following depletion of this tank STP can fill the RWST from other on site tanks, basins or main reservoirs using the trailer mounted diesel driven pump and entering the south side of the MAB near the Waste Monitor tanks and going into the RMW tank room.o SFP makeup and spray -" For normal makeup, the source is the RMW Storage Tank (RMWST)." For makeup with hoses, the source is the RWST." For makeup with spray, the source is the RWST with outside basins and tanks as backup." STP can fill the RWST with non-borated water as discussed above.The following chart has been developed to aid in understanding the pumps and protection for the strategies:

Changes to Compliance Method SPECIFIC CHANGES TO THE OIP AND THE FIRST 6 MONTH UPDATE: A. STP originally planned to recirculate the water from the containment floor back into the RCS; however, the elevated temperature of the water inside containment prevents this due to inadequate net positive suction head. RMWST and RWST water sources provide well beyond 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> of inventory for both the RCS and SFP.B. The capacity of the diesel generators has been increased to 1000 kW at 480V to accommodate running more equipment.
C. For Modes 1-4 Core Cooling, STP's strategy has been updated to: a. Use the Turbine Driven Auxiliary Feedwater (TDAFW) pump in Phase 1.b. Use the new 300 gpm at 500 psig FLEX SG fill pump as the primary strategy to back up the TDAFW pump during Phase 2.c. Use the trailer mounted portable diesel driven pump feeding the Main Feedwater lines as the alternate strategy.
This strategy cannot be used for about 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> following a Main Reservoir embankment breach flood but can be used immediately for all other external events.D. The FLEX RCS Makeup pump was originally rated at 1500 psi but has been updated to a rating of 700 psi. STP can open the Reactor Head Vents as necessary during this event.E. The trailer mounted diesel driven pumps will be used as a backup for SFP spray. Both will be stored separately and protected from design basis hurricane winds.F. The FLEX power diesel generator enclosures on top of the MAB will be made of steel vice concrete.G. For Modes 5 and 6 Core Cooling, a new FLEX pump rated at 170 gpm at 100 psig will be used as the primary strategy and a Boric Acid Transfer pump will be used as the alternate strategy.H. The new FLEX SFP makeup pump has been updated to a rating of 250 gpm at 150 psig.This pump will be used both for makeup using hoses and for spray.I. The strategy for draining the FW Deaerator (DA) into the AFWST has changed. STP plans to modify a drain from the DA and install a valve and blind flange on the deck of the Turbine Generator Building (TGB) to support this effort.J. Most drawings have changed during the design process. Final drawings will be provided in the basis document.K. Phase 3 Strategies
-When the OIP was written, the Phase 3 strategies had not been thoroughly addressed.
The Phase 2 strategies will enable STP to cope indefinitely; however Phase 3 equipment will arrive from the RRC and will be used on an "as needed" basis. For example, a medium voltage generator (4160 VAC) will be supplied to each unit from the RRC -Although this generator is not required for indefinite coping, it will provide for the restoration of a Class 1 E switchgear thereby restoring additional plant Attachment 1 NOC-AE-14003089 Page 8 of 11 support equipment.
This generator also permits the plant to start 4160 VAC pumps that can be used as a method for meeting the required safety functions.
See Attachment 2 for conceptual drawings and drawing changes planned for FLEX power distribution, SFP Makeup, RCS Makeup, and SG Makeup.5. Need for Relief/Relaxation and Basis for the Relief/Relaxation The NRC identified two open items (3.1.2.2.A and 3.2.4.8.B) in the Interim Staff Evaluation that require justification for their approach to meeting the Order.See Section 6 for further information and justifications.
- 6. Open Items from Overall Integrated Plan and Draft Safety Evaluation Below are the open items from the Technical Evaluation Report issued Jan. 29, 2014 (Reference 3): O # 3.1.2.2.A
-The licensee does not provide for transportation/deployment of the diesel driven trailer mounted pump relied upon as a spare SG makeup pump in the event of a design basis flood.No update 01 # 3.2.1 .1 .A -Demonstrate the applicability of the RETRAN-3D code for analysis of the ELAP transient.
No update 01 # 3.2.1.1 .B -Provide analysis of the ELAP transient that is applicable to STP and which demonstrates the adequacy of the mitigating strategy proposed for STP. This includes specification of an acceptable definition for the transition to reflux condensation cooling to ensure that the analysis is not credited beyond this juncture.
A sufficient number of cases should be included in the analysis to demonstrate the acceptability of different strategies that may be necessary to mitigate an ELAP (e.g., as discussed in Section 3.2.1.6, in some cases "N" and"N+1" pumps have different capabilities, which may substantially affect the sequence of events in the integrated plan).No update 01 # 3.2.1.6.A
-Develop the final timeline(s) and sequence(s) of events for STP.No update O # 3.2.4.8.B
-Electric Power Sources -On page 20 of the Integrated Plan, the licensee stated the strategy for mitigating an ELAP is to use a 480 VAC air cooled diesel generator on top of roof of the MAB to provide power to an electric driven SG FLEX pump, a RCS FLEX pump and a spent fuel pool FLEX pump. The use of pre-staged generators appears to be an alternative to NEI 12-06. The licensee Attachment 1 NOC-AE-14003089 Page 9 of 11 has not provided sufficient information to demonstrate that the approach meets the NEI 12-06 provisions for pre-staged portable equipment.
Additional information is needed from the licensee to determine whether the proposed approach provides an equivalent level of flexibility for responding to an undefined event as would be provided through conformance with NEI 12-06.Update: Pre-staging the two FLEX DGs is necessary because of the postulated flood caused by a breach of the reservoir embankment (Reference UFSAR 3.4.1.1).
Although this event is not considered credible, another flooding scenario due to upstream dam failure has the potential of inundating the site with several feet of water. Staging and storing the FLEX diesels on the MAB roof would provide reasonable protection from either flooding event. NEI 12-06 Section 11.3.2 states that the mitigation strategy and support equipment will be reasonably protected from applicable external events such that the equipment could be operated in place.Use of the existing electrical distribution system also conforms to the requirements of NEI 12-06. Section 3.2.1.3, Item (8) states that installed electrical distribution systems, including inverters and battery chargers, remain available provided they are protected consistent with current station design. The electrical paths for energizing the FLEX equipment will be diverse in that the currently installed equipment will be repowered via Class 1 E motor control centers (MCCs) and the new FLEX pumps will be powered via new cabling to the new pumps. Item (9) of Section 3.2.1.3 states that no additional events or failures are assumed to occur immediately prior to or during the event. As stated in Section 8.1.4.2 of the STP UFSAR, the Class 1 E Electrical System is designed to withstand the effects of design basis natural phenomena, assuming single active failure, without loss of onsite power to those safety-related electrical components required to shut down the plant and maintain it in a safe condition or to mitigate the consequences of postulated accidents.
The two pre-staged 480VAC 1000kW DGs are capable of providing the protection called for in the Order. New cables will be run from a new FLEX distribution panel located near the new FLEX DGs either through existing electrical system pathways (cable trays) or through conduits that meet the requirements associated with initial plant construction standards.
The FLEX equipment being powered from the FLEX diesel that will be used in Phase 2 of the FLEX strategy is contained in Category I structures and protected from external events. Cabling provides power to Class 1 E MCCs so that other components can be powered to provide a variety of functions including battery charging, pumping, ventilation, lighting and communications.
The new and previously installed cables that will be used for the FLEX strategies will be protected from all external events as described in NEI 12-06 as will the MCCs and the pre-staged pumps.
Attachment 1 NOC-AE-14003089 Page 10 of 11 Diversity for this strategy exists:* Each FLEX DG is redundant and sized for 100% capacity -only one is required.* The FLEX distribution panel feeds three completely separate &independent "trains" of ESF electrical equipment.
These are separated on three different elevations in the Electrical Auxiliary Building (EAB) and power like components on different trains." Specific FLEX cables go directly to the new FLEX pumps without utilizing the "trains" of ESF electrical equipment.
- Each safety function strategy has both a permanent plant pump and a new FLEX pump with diverse power distribution.
Flexibility for this strategy exists: The FLEX cabling being run from the FLEX DGs to power ESF motor control centers for powering battery chargers, pumps, lighting, valves and other equipment can be modified to run to multiple motor control centers (MCC) to power redundant equipment in the event of a fire or disturbance to one particular "train" of ESF electrical power. An example would be the Boric Acid Transfer pump B is powered from the train 'A'MCC and the Boric Acid Transfer pump A is powered from train 'C'MCC. The Reactor Makeup Water pumps are powered similarly.
Thus if something disturbed the 10' elevation of the EAB electrical switchgear room where the 'A' train electrical equipment is located, the 'C' train electrical equipment should not be affected because it is on the 60'elevation of the EAB. For this reason, there is capability to adapt to different scenarios.
Section 3.2.1.3(6) of NEI 12-06 states that permanent plant equipment that is contained in structures with designs that are robust with respect to seismic events, floods, high winds and associated missiles are available.
Section 3.2.1.7 states that the priority for the plant response is to utilize systems or equipment that provides the highest probability for success. The STP strategies that include pre-staged FLEX diesel generators and use permanent plant equipment provide the highest probability of success.7. Potential Draft Safety Evaluation Impacts There are no potential impacts to the Draft Safety Evaluation identified at this time.
