As an example, on page 27 of the Integrated Plan, the deployment plan describes using hoses to connect the FLEX alternate suppression pool cooling pump to the suppression pool and RHR heat exchanger connections. Licensee needs to address this issue generically.

Calculation 3C10-0485-001, Internal Flooding Analysis, evaluates flooding in various areas throughout the station due to postulated failures of moderate and high energy systems. One area of particular concern is the 702' elevation of the Control Building where Unit Substations 1F & 1G are located. These busses provide power to Suppression Cooling and Cleanup pumps 1SFO1PA/B which will be used to establish suppression Pool cooling during the extended loss of AC event.

From Calculation 3C10-0485-001 Revision 8 and 8A Internal Flooding Analysis (Reference 6) the flood level in the area of unit subs 1F & 1G is < 6" (specifically 5.8"). The unit substations are mounted on pads that are high, so based on the calc flooding in 702' would impact these busses. It Page 11 of 43 Clinton Power Station's Third Six Month Status Report for the Implementation of FLEX August 28. 2014 should be noted that this calculation of flood level at 702 is conservative in that no credit is taken for floor drain sumps that are in the vicinity of the Unit Subs.

The small amount of water intrusion that Unit Substations 1F and 1G could experience by the flooding described above would not impact the internal bus bars. Re-energizing the bus would still be possible after the occurrence of the design internal flooding event.

The equipment will be provided power through protective relays at the source, unit substation breakers. The power source, the FLEX DG, is a 500kW Cummins diesel generator set QSX15 series engine model DFEK. The units are equipped with a "PowerCommand" control, which is an integrated generator set control system that provides governing, voltage regulation, engine protection and operator interface functions. This includes a "Integral AmpSentry Protective" relay which provides a full range of alternator protection functions that are matched to the alternator. In addition, a three phase sensing, full wave rectifier voltage regulation system is included which provides a control of the FLEX DG output for stable operation with all load types.

Item 2 - The FLEX strategy provides for uninterrupted operation of the Division 1 Nuclear System Protective System (NSPS). This system provides power to the level and pressure instruments listed in the 01P for the RPV, containment, and suppression pool, as well as RCIC system parameters. These parameters can be monitored directly in the main control room. Suppression pool, containment, and drywell temperature indications are correlated from RTD resistance readings taken in the main control room. The FLEX strategy restores AC power to those instrument loops from 3.2.1.5.4 Additional information is needed to address the associated measurement tolerances/accuracy of instrumentation used to monitor portable/FLEX electrical power equipment to ensure that: 1) the electrical equipment remains protected (from an electrical power standpoint- e.g., power fluctuations) and 2) the operator is provided with accurate information to maintain core cooling, containment, and spent fuel cooling.

: b. General two-phase flow from the reactor vessel is described in the EPRI BWR Roadmap. In the case of the scenario outlined in the integrated plan, flow can exit the RPV via the open SRV(s) and from the assumed recirculation pump seal leakage. Flow from SRV will be single-phase steam and flow from the recirc pump seal or other RPV leakage will be single-phase liquid due to the location of the break low in the RPV with RPV level continued to be maintain above TAF. Upon exiting the RPV, the seal leakage will flash a portion of the flow to steam based on saturated conditions in the drywell, creating a steam source and a liquid water source to the drywell. As described in the BWR Roadmap (EPRI Product ID 3002002749) there are two parameters that can Page 39 of 43 Clinton Power Station's Third Six Month Status Report for the Implementation of FLEX August 28, 2014 influence the two-phase level on the RPV. The following table confirms that the parameter values match the recommended values as outlined in the roadmap.

Engineering issues associated with staging both FLEX diesel generators in the same room required changing the N+1 FLEX generator storage plan.

Change: A table addressing the guidance in NEI 12-06 Sections 6 through 9 is included in Attachment 1.

Storage / Protection of Equipment:

Describe storage / protection plan or schedule to determine storage requirements Seismic List how equipment is protected or schedule to protect Structures to provide protection of FLEX equipment will be constructed to meet the requirements of NEI 12-06 Section 11.3 and Section 5.3.1.

Schedule to construct permanent buildings is contained in Section 3 of this document, and will satisfy the site compliance date. Temporary locations will be used until building construction completion. Procedures and programs will be developed to address storage structure requirements, haul path requirements, and FLEX equipment requirements relative to the external hazards applicable to Clinton Power Station.

With respect to a seismic event, the storage plan does not require clearing debris from a haul path since the portable FLEX pumps and primary FLEX generator are pre-staged near their connection points. FLEX cables, hoses and permanent plant equipment used in the mitigating strategies are all designed to be protected from the seismic event, or will be analyzed or Page 2 of 43 Clinton Power Station's Third Six Month Status Report for the Implementation of FLEX August 28. 2014 upgraded to ensure their survival.

The N+1 FLEX generator will be mounted on a trailer and stored in the seismically robust FLEX Storage Building. A truck capable of debris removal will also be staged in the FLEX Storage Building, should a condition arise requiring the N+1 generator to be deployed.

Flooding Note: if stored below current flood level, then ensure procedures exist to move equipment prior to exceeding flood level List how equipment is protected or schedule to protect Structures to provide protection of FLEX equipment will be constructed to meet the requirements of NEI 12-06 Section 11.3 and Section 6.2.3.1.

Schedule to construct permanent buildings is contained in Section 3 of this document, and will satisfy the site compliance date. Temporary locations will be used until building construction completion. Procedures and programs will be developed to address storage structure requirements, haul path requirements, and FLEX equipment requirements relative to the external hazards applicable to Clinton Power Station.

With respect to flooding, the storage building housing the portable FLEX pumps and portable N+1 FLEX generator will not be protected up to the PMF elevation. Sufficient time will be available to relocate the FLEX pumps and generator to a higher elevation in advance of the rising lake level. The haul path for relocating the FLEX pump will not be affected by the flood.

Since the FLEX pump connection will be submerged, hoses with sufficient capacity to provide the required flow rate will be deployed with the FLEX pump. The hoses will connect to the Diesel Generator Building FLEX manifold to supply the required flow for the mitigating strategies. Station procedures governing high lake level will contain guidance for maintaining ELAP response capability during a flooding event.

Severe Storms with High Winds List how equipment is protected or schedule to protect Structures to provide protection of FLEX equipment will be constructed to meet the requirements of NEI 12-06 Section 11.3 and Section 7.3.1.

Schedule to construct permanent buildings is contained in Section 3 of this document, and will satisfy the site compliance date. Temporary locations will be used until building construction completion. Procedures and programs will be developed to address storage structure requirements, haul path requirements, and FLEX equipment requirements relative to the external hazards applicable to Clinton Power Station.

Snow, Ice, and Extreme Cold List how equipment is protected or schedule to protect Structures to provide protection of FLEX equipment will be constructed to meet the requirements of NEI 12-06 Section 11.3 and Section 8.3.1.

Schedule to construct permanent buildings is contained in Section 3 of this document, and will satisfy the site compliance date. Temporary locations will be used until building construction completion. Procedures and programs will be developed to address storage structure requirements, haul path requirements, and FLEX equipment requirements relative to the Page 3 of 43 Clinton Power Station's Third Six Month Status Report for the Implementation of FLEX August 28, 2014 external hazards applicable to Clinton Power Station.

With respect to snow, ice, and extreme cold, the storage plan does not require clearing snow or ice from a haul path since the portable FLEX pumps and primary generator are prestaged near their connection points.

All operator actions during the first hours of the event are performed indoors; either inside the plant or inside the FLEX storage building at the Screen House. The one exception is the foot travel from the plant to the storage building containing the FLEX pumps.

High Temperatures List how equipment is protected or schedule to protect Structures to provide protection of FLEX equipment will be constructed to meet the requirements of NEI 12-06 Section 11.3 and Section 9.3.1.

Schedule to construct permanent buildings is contained in Section 3 of this document, and will satisfy the site compliance date. Temporary locations will be used until building construction completion. Procedures and programs will be developed to address storage structure requirements, haul path requirements, and FLEX equipment requirements relative to the external hazards applicable to Clinton Power Station.

Change 2 Safety Functions Support - BWR Portable Equipment Phase 2 - Deployment Conceptual Design Reason for Change:

This discussion is updated to describe the deployment methods for electrical and mechanical connections.

Change: Deployment Conceptual Design Strategy Modifications Protection of connections Identify Strategy including how the equipment will be deployed to the point of use. Identify modifications Identify how the connection is protected Electrical Support (Figure 4)

The primary FLEX generator will be permanently staged and does not require deployment. The N+1 generator will be housed in a storage structure that meets NEI 12-06 Rev.0 storage requirements. A

  • A permanently staged primary 480 VAC generator able to supply necessary portions of the 480 VAC distribution system to repower the Division 1 battery charger or the swing battery charger and other needed AC loads,
  • Two independent electrical strategies with connection Phase 2 The FLEX electrical connections will be completed inside the Diesel Generator, Control, and Auxiliary Buildings, which are protected from all external hazards. Phase 3 Page 4 of 43 Clinton Power Station's Third Six Month Status Report for the Implementation of FLEX August 28. 2014 heavy duty truck capable of clearing debris will be stored in the same location.

Pre-staged cabling will be deployed from the FLEX generator to the Unit Substations that supply the components needed to meet the FLEX timeline.

points able to supply necessary portions of the 480 VAC distribution system from an external source to repower the Division 1 battery charger or the swing battery charger to supply DC MCC 1A, and other needed AC loads,

  • Pre-routed and pre-staged cabling with cam-lock connectors,
  • Installed 480 VAC bus panel inserts to simplify external electrical connections.

The electrical connection for an external generator from the National SAFER Response Center to the required portions of the installed 480 VAC system will be deployed, if needed, from within the Diesel Generator Building through an engineered opening in external wall to the outside "A2" staging area.

Cooling/Makeup Water Support (Figure 3)

  • One external water connection ties to the Unit 2 robust SX piping,
  • One internal water manifold for cooling/makeup water distribution, capable of being supplied from a separate external pump,
  • Various pipe branch connections and valve installations to support manifold distribution,
  • Pre-staged hoses with Storz fittings to support manifold to branch and valve connections.

Phase 2 The FLEX mechanical connections will be completed inside the Diesel Generator, Control, and Auxiliary Buildings, which are protected from all external hazards. Phase 3 The mechanical connection for an external pump from the National SAFER Response Center, if needed, to the SX system will be inside a robust building on the Unit 2 side of the Screen House adjacent to the "Al" staging area.

An alternate connection will be deployed from within the Diesel Generator Building through an engineered opening in the external wall to the outside "A2" staging area using a hose pre-staged for this purpose inside the protected Diesel Generator Building.

The diesel driven pumps will be housed in a storage structure that meets NEI 12-06 Rev.0 storage requirements. A heavy duty truck capable of clearing debris will be stored in the same location.

Water will be routed from the UHS to the plant via the unused seismically robust Unit 2 SX piping.

Change 3 Attachment 1A - Sequence of Events Timeline Page 5 of 43 Clinton Power Station's Third Six Month Status Report for the Implementation of FLEX August 28. 2014 Reason for Change:

The timeline for "FLEX pump available for RPV makeup" was improved. This change ensures that the FLEX pump is available for RPV makeup when suppression pool temperature reaches 190°F (the threshhold established for elevated risk to the RCIC system) at approximately t o + 6.6 hrs. This change is also responsive to Confirmatory Item 3.2.1.3.A.

Item 25 on the timeline is reworded from "Connect Div 1 Day Tank 120 VAC portable pump" to "Commence FLEX generator and pump refueling operations" to more accurately state the task that requires future validation.

The time to commence lining up the FLEX pump should be at t o + 1 hr to ensure the subsequent time constraints can be met.

Changes: 1. The time "FLEX pump available for RPV makeup" occurs on the timeline at t o + 6 hrs, and is identified as a time constraint, 2. Reworded item 25 on the timeline, 3. Changed the Elapsed Time value for Item 10 "Commence UHS Pump Deployment" to 1 hr.

Utilize initial National SAFER Response Center equipment in spare capacity.

N Change 4 Attachment 2 - BWR Portable Equipment Phase 3 Reason for Change:

Phase 3 portable equipment listed in the 01P needed to be updated.

Change: Brought the Phase 3 portable equipment listing up to date with the National SAFER Response Center Equipment Technical Requirements Manual.

Change 5 Attachment 3 - Conceptual Sketches Reason for Change:

Changes to deployment plan and system alignments required updated sketches.

Color versions of the figures are available on the ePortal.

Change: Updated Figures 2 through 5 to reflect advances in the ongoing engineering design.

5 Need for Relief/Relaxation and Basis for the Relief/Relaxation Clinton Power Station expects to comply with the order implementation date and no relief/relaxation is required at this time.

Draft Safety Evaluation Open Items Item Number Description Status 3.1.4.2.0 No information was provided in the Integrated Plan to address the ultimate heat sink and the potential that the flow path may be affected by ice blockage or formation of frazil ice due to extreme low temperatures.

The FLEX pump will take suction from an existing opening on the Screen House deck that was designed for a Unit 2 Shutdown Service Water (SX)

Pump. This location bypasses the Unit 1 traveling screens and is not susceptible to frazil ice.

Page 9 of 43 Clinton Power Station's Third Six Month Status Report for the Implementation of FLEX August 28, 2014 It is not susceptible to ice blockage since the inlet to the Screen House is at elevation 670', 5 feet below the design water level of the UHS. The occurrence of an estimated ice thickness of 10" in the intake area when the water level is at elevation 675' would not block the flow into the Screen House. The availability of the FLEX pump water supply will not be affected by ice formation in the Screen House area.

Additional protection against any probable ice blockage in the intake area is provided with the installation of a warming line at the inlet to the Screen House, designed to maintain a minimum water temperature of 40°F during winter operation.

3.2.4.8.A On page 6 of their six-month update, dated August 28, 2013 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) ML 13241 A241), the licensee states that they are proposing to pre-stage both the primary and alternate FLEX generator in the Unit 2 side of the Control/Diesel Generator building. This use of pre-staged generators appears to be an alternative to NEI 12-06.1n a future submittal update the licensee will need to document the proposed method as an alternate to NEI 12-06, along with a stronger justification addressing how the approach maintains the flexibility to respond to an undefined event and provide power to the necessary equipment.

Page 10 of 43 Clinton Power Station's Third Six Month Status Report for the Implementation of FLEX August 28, 2014 hazard. 3.1.1.2.A The Integrated Plan did not provide sufficient information to conclude that for each mitigation strategy discussed, operators would have access only through seismically robust structures to deploy the strategy. As an example, on page 27 of the Integrated Plan, the deployment plan describes using hoses to connect the FLEX alternate suppression pool cooling pump to the suppression pool and RHR heat exchanger connections. Licensee needs to address this issue generically.

See the February 2014 01P Update for closure information.

[Complete]

3.1.1.2.B It was not evident from the review of the Integrated Plan whether or not electrical power would be necessary to move or to deploy mitigation strategies (e.g., to open the door from a storage location). If necessary, provisions would be necessary to provide that power source.

See the February 2014 01P Update for closure information.

[Complete]

3.1.1.3.A The licensee should develop a reference source that provides approaches for obtaining necessary instrument readings for instruments in addition to the existing guidance for the suppression pool temperature instrument.

The suppression pool cleanup and transfer pumps will require a strategy to provide control power to the pump motor supply breakers.

See the February 2014 01P Update for closure information.

3.1.1.3.B The licensee discussed how internal flooding is mitigated for ECCS pump cubicles, but it is not clear whether or not other mitigation strategies may be susceptible to the internal flooding hazard.

Calculation 3C10-0485-001, Internal Flooding Analysis, evaluates flooding in various areas throughout the station due to postulated failures of moderate and high energy systems. One area of particular concern is the 702' elevation of the Control Building where Unit Substations 1F & 1G are located. These busses provide power to Suppression Cooling and Cleanup pumps 1SFO1PA/B which will be used to establish suppression Pool cooling during the extended loss of AC event.

From Calculation 3C10-0485-001 Revision 8 and 8A Internal Flooding Analysis (Reference 6) the flood level in the area of unit subs 1F & 1G is < 6" (specifically 5.8"). The unit substations are mounted on pads that are high, so based on the calc flooding in 702' would impact these busses. It Page 11 of 43 Clinton Power Station's Third Six Month Status Report for the Implementation of FLEX August 28. 2014 should be noted that this calculation of flood level at 702 is conservative in that no credit is taken for floor drain sumps that are in the vicinity of the Unit Subs.

The small amount of water intrusion that Unit Substations 1F and 1G could experience by the flooding described above would not impact the internal bus bars. Re-energizing the bus would still be possible after the occurrence of the design internal flooding event.

3.1.1.4.A With regard to the use of off site resources, no information was provided regarding the identification of the local arrival staging area or a description of the methods to be used to deliver the equipment to the site. During the audit process, the licensee stated that information will be provided in a future 6-month update to address the issue.

Refer to Figure 7. The B Staging Area is shown on the north side of the property. Two access routes into the protected area are shown, and each of those routes can reach the A Staging Areas (Al for UHS access and primary water connection, A2 for an external electrical and water connection).

[Complete - Revised]

3.1.2.1.A On page 4, in the section of its Integrated Plan regarding key assumptions associated with implementation of FLEX strategies, the licensee explained that primary and secondary storage locations for FLEX equipment have not been selected. Storage locations must be selected that protect FLEX equipment from all hazards.

FLEX pumps and associated equipment and the N+1 FLEX generator will be stored in a robust structure at the Unit 2 side of the Screen House.

The primary FLEX generator and associated cabling will be stored in the robust Diesel Generator, Control, and Auxiliary buildings.

3.1.4.2.A The licensee does not address the effects of snow, ice, and extreme cold on the ability of plant personnel to perform manual operations.

In the primary strategy, all manual actions in the early hours of the event are performed indoors, either in the plant or in the FLEX storage building.

Appropriate clothing will be pre-staged for outdoor actions, such as refueling the FLEX DG and pump.

In the event the N+1 generator is used, it will be transported from the FLEX storage building at the Screen House to the A2 staging area outside the Diesel Generator building and connected to the in-plant electrical distribution system using cables deployed from within the Diesel Generator Building. Appropriate clothing will be pre-staged for outdoor actions. [Complete - Revised]

3.1.4.2.13 Although debris removal and haul requirements are addressed as previously discussed in this report, there is insufficient information in the Integrated Plan to conclude the licensee will conform to guidance with respect to the removal of snow and ice from haul pathways and staging areas. The following was added to the site snow removal plan:

New Fukushima Requirements NEI 12-06, Rev 0, August 2012, Diverse and Flexible Coping Strategies (Flex) Implementation Guide, Section 8.3.2.2 states: "For sites exposed to extreme snowfall and ice storms, provision should be made for snow/ice removal, as needed to obtain and transport FLEX equipment from storage to its location for deployment." In order to address this requirement, Clinton will make provisions for Page 13 of 43 Clinton Power Station's Third Six Month Status Report for the Implementation of FLEX August 28, 2014 maintaining these areas open for vehicle and foot traffic during extreme weather events:

1. the area immediately south of the DG building, 2. the area around the FLEX building and its access doors on the Unit 2 side of the Screen House, 3. the vehicle and foot access routes between the DG building and the FLEX building, 4. the National SAFER Response Center staging area in the north contractor parking lot.

Page 15 of 43 Clinton Power Station's Third Six Month Status Report for the Implementation of FLEX August 28, 2014 Item 1 - In reference to part 1 relating to the concern that electrical equipment remains protected (from an electrical power standpoint - e.g., power fluctuations), the protection of the equipment is not altered from the original design. The equipment will be provided power through protective relays at the source, unit substation breakers. The power source, the FLEX DG, is a 500kW Cummins diesel generator set QSX15 series engine model DFEK. The units are equipped with a "PowerCommand" control, which is an integrated generator set control system that provides governing, voltage regulation, engine protection and operator interface functions. This includes a "Integral AmpSentry Protective" relay which provides a full range of alternator protection functions that are matched to the alternator. In addition, a three phase sensing, full wave rectifier voltage regulation system is included which provides a control of the FLEX DG output for stable operation with all load types.

Item 2 - The FLEX strategy provides for uninterrupted operation of the Division 1 Nuclear System Protective System (NSPS). This system provides power to the level and pressure instruments listed in the 01P for the RPV, containment, and suppression pool, as well as RCIC system parameters. These parameters can be monitored directly in the main control room. Suppression pool, containment, and drywell temperature indications are correlated from RTD resistance readings taken in the main control room. The FLEX strategy restores AC power to those instrument loops from 3.2.1.5.4 Additional information is needed to address the associated measurement tolerances/accuracy of instrumentation used to monitor portable/FLEX electrical power equipment to ensure that: 1) the electrical equipment remains protected (from an electrical power standpoint- e.g., power fluctuations) and 2) the operator is provided with accurate information to maintain core cooling, containment, and spent fuel cooling.

3.2.3.A The licensee plans to circulate suppression pool water through the shell side of an RHR heat exchanger using abandoned RHR steam condensing mode piping. It is not clear how the abandoned RHR piping used will be returned to an operable status. The licensee stated the plan to restore and maintain the RHR piping to operable status will be provided in a future 6-month update.

The plan to restore and maintain the RHR piping to operable status will be provided in a future 6-month update.

[Not Started]

3.2.3.6 It is not clear from the licensee's Integrated Plan that current maintenance and testing for the suppression pool cleanup and transfer pumps would conform to the standards for FLEX equipment because the pumps are not currently relied upon to mitigate accidents or transients or the consequences of a beyond-design-basis event.

The plan for maintenance and testing for the suppression pool cleanup and transfer pumps to conform to the standards for FLEX equipment will be included in a future 6-month update.

3.2.3.0 The expected peak temperatures predicted by MAAP4 calculations are 185.06 degrees F for the wetwell air space and 253.8 degrees F for the drywell. The wetwell air space peak is marginally above the 185 degree F limit for the containment. Because there are unresolved concerns with the MAAP4 analyses, the licensee will need to address the potential for wetwell air space temperatures exceeding the 185 degree F design limit.

The potential for wetwell air space temperatures exceeding the 185°F design limit will be included in a future 6-month update.

[Started]

3.2.4.2.A The information provided in the Integrated Plan regarding battery room ventilation did not address potential temperature increases/decreases on the station batteries due to loss of battery ventilation resulting from an ELAP. A discussion is also needed on hydrogen limits in battery room while charging the batteries during Phase 2 and 3.The licensee stated that battery room ventilation information will be provided in a future 6-month update.

The strategy and associated support analyses will be submitted in a future 6-month update Inverter Room cooling information will be provided in a future 6-month update. [Started]

3.2.4.2.D In general, the discussion of ventilation in the submittal provides insufficient information on the impact of elevated temperatures, as a result of loss of ventilation and/or cooling, on the support equipment being credited as part of the ELAP strategies (e.g., electrical equipment in the RCIC pump rooms). As an example, there is no discussion regarding whether the initial temperature condition assumed the worst-case outside temperature with the plant operating at full power. No list was provided or referenced of electrical components located in the pump rooms that are necessary to ensure successful operation of required pumps. Also, no information was provided regarding the qualification level for temperature and pressure for these electrical components for the duration that the pumps are assumed to perform its mitigating strategies function.

5.3.1 Protection

of FLEX Equipment (Seismic)

1. FLEX equipment should be stored in one or more of following three configurations:
a. In a structure that meets the plant's design basis for the Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE)(e.g., existing safety-related structure).

FLEX equipment will be stored in structures designed to survive a SSE.

b. In a structure designed to or evaluated equivalent to ASCE 7-10, Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures.

NA c. Outside a structure and evaluated for seismic interactions to ensure equipment is not damaged by non-seismically robust components or structures.

NA 2. Large portable FLEX equipment such as pumps and power supplies should be secured as appropriate to protect them during a seismic event (i.e., Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE) level), FLEX pumps and generators will be stored to survive a SSE.

3. Stored equipment and structures should be evaluated and protected from seismic interactions to ensure that unsecured and/or non-seismic components do not damage the equipment.

FLEX equipment will be protected and stored in areas where the potential for seismic interactions with unsecured and/or non-seismic equipment is minimal. 6.2.3.1 Protection of FLEX Equipment (Flooding)

These considerations apply to the protection of FLEX equipment from external flood hazards:

1. The equipment should be stored in one or more of the following configurations:
a. Stored above the flood elevation from the most recent site flood analysis. The evaluation to determine the elevation for storage should be informed by flood analysis applicable to the site from early site permits, combined license applications, and/or contiguous licensed sites.

FLEX equipment will be stored above the PMF elevation with the exception of the FLEX pumps and associated equipment, the N+1 generator, and the haul/debris removal vehicle.

b. Stored in a structure designed to protect the equipment from the flood.

NA c. FLEX equipment can be stored below flood level if time is available and plant procedures/guidance address the needed actions to relocate the equipment. Based on the timing of the limiting flood scenario(s), the FLEX equipment can be relocated to a position that is protected from the flood, either by barriers or by elevation, prior to the arrival of the potentially damaging flood levels. This should also consider the conditions on-site during the increasing flood levels and whether movement of the FLEX equipment will be possible before potential inundation occurs, not just the ultimate flood height.

FLEX pumps and associated equipment, the N+1 generator, and the haul/debris removal vehicle will be stored below the PMF elevation. Procedures governing high lake level will include guidance for relocating this equipment ahead of rising lake level.

Page 21 of 43 Clinton Power Station's Third Six Month Status Report for the Implementation of FLEX August 28, 2014

2. Storage areas that are potentially impacted by a rapid rise of water should be avoided.

Rapid rise in lake level is not a credible event. 7.3.1 Protection of FLEX Equipment (Wind)

These considerations apply to the protection of FLEX equipment from high wind hazards:

1. For plants exposed to high wind hazards, FLEX equipment should be stored in one of the following configurations:
a. In a structure that meets the plant's design basis for high wind hazards (e.g., existing safety-related structure).

FLEX equipment will be stored in structures that will survive the design basis wind. . In storage locations designed to or evaluated equivalent to ASCE 7-10, Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures given the limiting tornado wind speeds from Regulatory Guide 1.76 or design basis hurricane wind speeds for the site. Given the FLEX basis limiting tornado or hurricane wind speeds, building loads would be computed in accordance with requirements of ASCE 7-10. Acceptance criteria would be based on building serviceability requirements not strict compliance with stress or capacity limits. This would allow for some minor plastic deformation, yet assure that the building would remain functional.

NA

  • Tornado missiles and hurricane missiles will be accounted for in that the FLEX equipment will be stored in diverse locations to provide reasonable assurance that N sets of FLEX equipment will remain deployable following the high wind event. This will consider locations adjacent to existing robust structures or in lower sections of buildings that minimizes the probability that missiles will damage all mitigation equipment required from a single event by protection from adjacent buildings and limiting pathways for missiles to damage equipment.

NA

  • The axis of separation should consider the predominant path of tornados in the geographical location. In general, tornadoes travel from the West or West Southwesterly direction, diverse locations should be aligned in the North-South arrangement, where possible. Additionally, in selecting diverse FLEX storage locations, consideration should be given to the location of the diesel generators and switchyard such that the path of a single tornado would not impact all locations.

NA

  • Stored mitigation equipment exposed to the wind should be adequately tied down. Loose equipment should be in protective boxes that are adequately tied down to foundations or slabs to prevent protected equipment from being damaged or becoming airborne. (During a tornado, high winds may blow away metal siding and metal deck roof, subjecting the equipment to high wind forces.)

NA c. In evaluated storage locations separated by a sufficient distance that minimizes the probability NA Page 22 of 43 Clinton Power Station's Third Six Month Status Report for the Implementation of FLEX August 28, 2014 that a single event would damage all FLEX mitigation equipment such that at least N sets of FLEX equipment would remain deployable following the high wind event. (This option is not applicable for hurricane conditions).

  • Consistent with configuration b., the axis of separation should consider the predominant path of tornados in the geographical location.

NA

  • Consistent with configuration b., stored mitigation equipment should be adequately tied down. NA 8.3.1 Protection of FLEX Equipment (Snow, Ice, Cold)

These considerations apply to the protection of FLEX equipment from snow, ice, and extreme cold hazards:

1. For sites subject to significant snowfall and ice storms, portable FLEX equipment should be stored in one of two configurations:
a. In a structure that meets the plant's design basis for the snow, ice and cold conditions (e.g., existing safety-related structure).

FLEX equipment will be stored in structures that will survive the design basis for snow, ice, and cold.

b. In a structure designed to or evaluated equivalent to ASCE 7-10, Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures for the snow, ice, and cold conditions from the site's design basis.

NA c. Provided the N FLEX equipment is located as described in a. or b. above, the N+1 equipment may be stored in an evaluated storage location capable of withstanding historical extreme weather conditions and the equipment is deployable.

NA 2. Storage of FLEX equipment should account for the fact that the equipment will need to function in a timely manner. The equipment should be maintained at a temperature within a range to ensure its likely function when called upon. For example, by storage in a heated enclosure or by direct heating (e.g., jacket water, battery, engine block heater, etc.).

FLEX pumps and generators and their storage location will include appropriate heating.

9.3.1 Protection

of FLEX Equipment (High Temperature)

The equipment should be maintained at a temperature within a range to ensure its likely function when called upon. FLEX pumps, generators, and the haul/debris removal vehicle, and their storage locations will include appropriate cooling such that the equipment will run without overheating.

Page 33 of 43 Clinton Power Station's Third Six Month Status Report for the Implementation of FLEX August 28, 2014 FORWARDING OF CLINTON POWER STATION MAAP JUSTIFICATION FOR ELAP ANALYSIS ACCEPTABILITY Enclosed is a completed ELAP response template for the Clinton Power Station (CPS) to justify the use of MAAP4 for the determination of the ELAP timeline.

The following restrictions and limitations apply to the template:

  • No containment vent is included in the ELAP response
  • The prescribed strategy for ELAP response (including portable pump flow rates) was provided by Exelon in the February 2013 Beyond Design Basis External Event Integrated Plan submittal No check has been made regarding the procedural adequacy, the timing for alignment, or flow curves for the portable pump The operability of RCIC for the calculated plant conditions is not justified by this template.

Separate justification needs to be provided for the RCIC operability under the calculated RPV and containment conditions, e.g., as part of this evaluation, RCIC NPSH has not been verified to be adequate over the duration of the MAAP analysis.

Page 34 of 43 Clinton Power Station's Third Six Month Status Report for the Implementation of FLEX August 28. 2014 Clinton Power Station Response In response to the letter of October 3, 2013 from Jack Davis (NRR) to Joe Pollock (NEI), the following responses have been developed regarding the use of the Modular Accident Analysis Program (MAAP) for estimating accident progression timing in support of the Overall Integrated Plan for Clinton.

(1) From the June 2013 position paper, benchmarks must be identified and discussed which demonstrate that MAAP4 is an appropriate code for the simulation of an ELAP event at your facility.

Response to item 1:

Generic response provided by EPRI BWR Roadmap "Technical Basis for Establishing Success Timelines in Extended Loss of AC Power Scenarios in Boiling Water Reactors Using MAAP4," (EPRI Product ID 3002002749).

(2) The collapsed level must remain above Top of Active Fuel (TAF) and the cool down rate must be within technical specification limits.

Response to item 2: A of the Clinton Integrated Plan (Feb 2013) states that the operators would commence a cooldown of the RPV at 1 hr at a rate of 50 °F/hr which is within the technical specifications limit of 100°F/hr. The following plot of the RPV pressure from the MAAP analysis confirms this cooldown rate for the supporting MAAP calculation.

The plot below shows that the lowest RPV level, calculated by MAAP, is approximately -10" below instrument zero. (TAF is located at -162" relative to instrument zero (1).) As shown in the following plot, the collapsed RPV water level remains at least 12' above TAF for the duration of the analysis.

(') Instrument zero is at +521" above vessel zero.

Response to item 3:

MAAP analysis performed for Clinton was carried out in accordance with Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, and 4.5 of the June 2013 position paper, EPRI Technical Report 3002001785, "Use of Modular Accident Analysis Program (MAAP) in Support of Post-Fukushima Applications".

(4) In using MAAP4, the licensee must identify and justify the subset of key modeling parameters cited from Tables 4-1 through 4-6 of the "MAAP4 Application Guidance, Desktop Reference for Using MAAP4 Software, Revision 2" (Electric Power Research Institute Report 1020236). This should include response at a plant-specific level regarding specific coding options and parameter choices for key models that would be expected to substantially affect the ELAP analysis performed for that licensee's plant. Although some suggested key phenomena are identified below, other parameters considered important in the simulation of the ELAP event by the vendor / licensee should also be included.

f. Decay heat (fission products / actinides / etc.)

Response to item 4:

a. The reactor vessel nodalization is fixed by the MAAP code and cannot be altered by the user, with the exception of the detailed core nodalization. The Clinton MAAP 4.0.5 parameter file divides the core region into 5 equal volume radial regions (See NCHAN) and 13 axial regions (See NAXNOD). The axial nodalization represents 10 equal-sized fueled nodes (see NROWS), 1 unfueled node at the top (see NNFT), and 2 unfueled nodes at the bottom (see NNFB). The figure below, taken from the MAAP Users Manual, illustrates the vessel nodalization scheme.

Containment nodalization is defined by the user. The standard nodalization scheme is used in the Clinton MAAP 4.0.5 parameter file and represents the following individual compartments:

1. Reactor pedestal region
2. Drywell 3. Drywell vents to suppression chamber
4. Suppression chamber (wetwell)
5. Containment chimney
6. Containment dome Page 38 of 43 Junction Description 1 Pedestal to Drywell Connection 2 Drywell to Vent/Downcomer 3 Lower Downcomer Vent to Wetwell 4 Middle Downcomer Vent to Wetwell 12 5 Upper Downcomer Vent to Wetwell

7. Containment middle compartment
8. Upper containment pool The figure below illustrates the Clinton containment nodalization along with an identification of containment flow junctions.
b. General two-phase flow from the reactor vessel is described in the EPRI BWR Roadmap. In the case of the scenario outlined in the integrated plan, flow can exit the RPV via the open SRV(s) and from the assumed recirculation pump seal leakage. Flow from SRV will be single-phase steam and flow from the recirc pump seal or other RPV leakage will be single-phase liquid due to the location of the break low in the RPV with RPV level continued to be maintain above TAF. Upon exiting the RPV, the seal leakage will flash a portion of the flow to steam based on saturated conditions in the drywell, creating a steam source and a liquid water source to the drywell. As described in the BWR Roadmap (EPRI Product ID 3002002749) there are two parameters that can Page 39 of 43 Clinton Power Station's Third Six Month Status Report for the Implementation of FLEX August 28, 2014 influence the two-phase level on the RPV. The following table confirms that the parameter values match the recommended values as outlined in the roadmap.

d. Choked flow from the SRV and the recirculation pump seal leakage is discussed in the EPRI BWR Roadmap. The parameters identified that impact the flow calculation are listed below with input values identified.

Parameter Name Value Used in the Clinton MAAP Analysis EPRI Recommended Value ASRV - effective flow area for relief valve 0.1181 ft2 (based on rated flow at pressure)

Plant-specific value ALOCA - seal leakage area 1.55E-3 ft2 (100 gpm at normal conditions)

Plant-specific value FCDBRK - discharge coefficient for seal leakage 0.75 0.75 e. Vent line pressure loss can be represented in two ways. The actual piping flow area can be input along with a discharge coefficient (FCDJ). An alternative method would be to calculate the effective flow are given the estimated piping losses, and input a loss coefficient of 1.0. For the Clinton MAAP analysis, no venting of containment is modeled.

f. Decay heat in MAAP is discussed in the EPRI BWR Roadmap (EPRI Product ID 3002002749). Input parameters used to compute the decay heat are identified in the roadmap and are listed in the following table along with their values used in the Clinton analysis.

Alternately, a comparable level of information may be included in the supplemental response. In either case, the analysis should include a plot of the collapsed vessel level to confirm that TAF is not reached (the elevation of the TAF should be provided) and a plot of the temperature cool down to confirm that the cool down is within tech spec limits.

Response to item 5:

The MAAP analysis performed in support of the Clinton Integrated Plan is documented in calculation CL-MISC-009 Rev. 3 and is available on the ePortal. Case 17 was the specific MAAP run selected to represent the scenario as described in the February 2014 NRC OIP update. Page 43 of 43
