Additionally the Sequoyah plant-specific MSO scenario list was reviewed for possible scenarios resulting from dual unit operation as opposed to the WBN Unit 1 single unit list.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 2 July 16, 2010 TVA Response
- 1. a. and b.The current Unit 1/2 Fire Protection Report addresses both units; however, it requires updating to address, among other things, the dual unit safe shutdown analysis, Unit 2 fire analysis volumes, and Unit 2 specific Operator Manual Actions (OMAs). The current version of the report will be updated by adding information to account for the current design of Unit 2. Portions of the report address programmatic aspects (e.g., fire brigades, fire watches, etc.) that are not affected by the operation of Unit 2. These parts will be submitted to the NRC by August 6, 2010. As discussed below, TVA is performing modifications related to fire protection. Additionally, TVA is issuing modifications to address other unrelated issues. Since there is a potential for these other modifications to impact the Fire Protection Report, TVA is conducting a fire protection review of the entire set of design changes issued for Unit 2. TVA is in the process of finalizing the Fire Protection Report to address both the fire protection-related modifications and the other modifications. This
review will be completed in December, 2010. TVA will submit the complete Unit 1/2 Fire Protection Report by December 17, 2010.
1.c.The Unit 1/2 Fire Protection Report, Revision 5, was approved by the NRC. NRC approval of the Fire Protection Report was documented in Supplemental Safety Evaluation Reports (SSERs) 18 and 19, Section 9.5.1 and Appendix FF. The report is currently at Revision 40. The changes between Revision 5 and 40 have been evaluated under the License Condition
and have not received explicit NRC approval.
1.d.The changes to the Fire Protection Report between Revision 5 and Revision 40 are not marked explicitly in the current revision; therefore, TVA will provide a separate markup, description, and justification of the changes made since NRC approved the report. This information will be provided by August 30, 2010. 2. Multiple Spurious ActuationsRegarding TVAs review of multiple spurious actuation scenarios that could affect post-fire safe shutdown, provide: a. A description of the method TVA used to systematically identify possible multiple spurious actuation scenarios that could affect safe shutdown, b. A description of each of the scenarios identified by the analysis, including how post-fire safe shutdown is ensured for each scenario.
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 3 July 16, 2010 TVA Response
- 2 .a.The WBN Fire Protection Report contains the programmatic requirements which apply to both Unit 1 and Unit 2 and the safe shutdown analysis results for Unit 1. The report will be enhanced to include the results of the Unit 2 safe shutdown analysis. Recently, WBN developed the Unit 1 Multiple Spurious Operation (MSO) list using the guidance of Regulatory Guide 1.189 Revision 2 and NEI-00-01 Revision 2. The WBN Unit 1 MSO scenario list was prepared using the expert panel review process described in NEI-00-01, Revision 2. The Unit 2 evaluation of MSOs will utilize the same methodology. Since WBN Unit 2 is essentially identical to WBN Unit 1 and very similar to its sister plant, Sequoyah Units 1 and 2, the plant specific list of MSO scenarios prepared for WBN Unit 1 is being used for developing the WBN Unit 2 MSO scenarios. Additionally the Sequoyah plant-specific MSO scenario list was reviewed for possible scenarios resulting from dual unit operation as opposed to the WBN Unit 1 single unit list. No additional scenarios were identified.
2.b.The Table in Enclosure 1 to this letter provides a description of the dual unit MSO scenarios identified by the above described analysis. TVA will provide a description of how safe shutdown is ensured for each scenario by August 20, 2010.
- 3. Operator Manual ActionsFor all OMAs needed to assure post-fire safe shutdown when redundant trains are in the same fire area outside of primary containment, provide: a. A description of the method that TVA used to evaluate OMAs, b. A description of, and a schedule for, completing plant modifications that are being performed to reduce OMAs, c. A list of OMAs that could not be resolved through modifications,
- d. The plan and schedule for submitting a request for NRC approval of the OMAs that could not be resolved through modifications.
TVA Response
- 3.a.The WBN Unit 2 OMAs were developed starting with the Unit 1 post fire safe shutdown analysis and OMAs which were approved in NRC SSER 18. The OMAs were previously demonstrated for Unit 1 to be feasible and reliable. Unit 2 isperforming modifications to reduce the number of time critical (<60 minutes) OMAs. The Unit 2 OMAs will either be the same as Unit 1 or slightly different (i.e., similar) due to the modifications being performed to reduce the number/complexity of OMAs. For example, in Unit 1 the action may involve tripping a breaker or removing fuses, whereas in Unit 2 the action may be to operate a local U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 4 July 16, 2010 switch. Either action will accomplish the same result and are thus similar. This is described as same/similar in the discussion below. The OMA fall into four categories: 1) Control Bay - The control building is an alternative shutdown area per Appendix R, III.G.3. OMAs the same/similar as Unit 1 will be utilized for Unit 2. 2) Hot Shutdown Greater Than 60 Minutes - OMAs that are the same/similar as Unit 1 will be utilized for Unit 2. 3) Hot Shutdown Less Than 60 Minutes - Modifications will be used to eliminate OMAs or reduce the number of fire zones which rely on the OMAs. Remaining OMAs will be the same/similar as Unit 1. See item 3c below for further information. 4) Cold Shutdown - OMAs the same/similar as Unit 1 will be utilized for Unit 2.
3.b.OMA reduction modifications are integrated into system modification packages and are thus not tracked separately from other modifications. The modifications for each system will be completed prior to system turnover. The types of modifications performed to reduce reliance on OMAs include: a. Cable rerouting to provide separation between redundant shutdown paths. b. Circuit modifications to prevent spurious actuation of components. c. Application of Electrical Raceway Fire Barrier Systems (ERFBS) to protect cables from fire damage.3.c.The baseline list of additional OMAs added for Unit 2 operation reflects the OMA reduction modifications described above but will be revised as described above to reflect the impact of other non-fire protection related modifications. The baseline list of OMAs is expected to require only very minor revisions due to the other non-fire protection related modifications.
TVA will provide the baseline list by August 6, 2010.
3.d.As discussed above, TVA will finalize the Fire Protection Report to address both the fire protection related modifications and the other modifications in December, 2010. TVA will submit the complete Fire Protection Report containing a listing of the final OMAs by analysis volume for NRC approval by December 17, 2010.

E2-1ENCLOSURE 2 List of Commitments 1. TVA is in the process of finalizing the Fire Protection Report to address both the fire protection related modifications and the other modifications. This review will be completed in December, 2010. TVA will submit the complete Unit 1/2 Fire Protection Report by December 17, 2010. 2. TVA will provide a separate markup, description, and justification of the changes made since NRC approved the report. This information will be provided by August 30, 2010. 3. Portions of the report address programmatic aspects (e.g., fire brigades, fire watches, etc.) that are not affected by the operation of Unit 2. These parts will be submitted to the NRC by August 6, 2010. 4. Table 1 provides a description of the dual unit MSO scenarios identified by the above described analysis. TVA will provide a description of how safe shutdown is ensured for each scenario by August 20, 2010. 5. The baseline list of OMAs is expected to require only very minor revisions due to the other non-fire protection related modifications. TVA will provide the baseline list by August 6, 2010.
