preplanned maintenance activities for which the RMAT is anticipated to be exceeded, RMAs shall be implemented at the earliest appropriate time.The RMAT is the risk management action threshold and is established at 1 E-06 incremental core damage probability or 1 E-07 incremental large early release probability.
RMAs are risk management actions (i.e., compensatory action).These thresholds are consistent with the thresholds used by STPNOC in implementing Maintenance Rule requirements.
requires an assessment of risk for maintenance and that the risk be managed.STPNOC has established a configuration risk management program (CRMP) to comply with the MR. Consistent with NUMARC 93-01, it establishes specific risk thresholds that require compensatory action if the configuration risk exceeds the threshold.
The Non-Risk-Significant Threshold is established at an incremental core damage probability (ICDP) of 1 E-06.RMA is required for configurations where the risk exceeds that threshold.
STPNOC is an industry pilot for a risk-informed process for determining allowed outage times for the STP Technical Specifications (TS). The risk-informed process involves the application of the STP Configuration Risk Management Program (CRMP) to calculate a risk-informed completion time (RICT) based on the time required for the risk calculated for a plant configuration to attain a threshold.
The risk thresholds, the process for calculating the configuration risk, and the requirements for PRA quality are described in the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Risk Managed Technical Specification Guidelines (RMTS Guidelines).
The RMTS Guidelines applies the same ICDP threshold for RMA as the MR. The RMTS Guidelines also establishes a incremental large early release probability (ILERP) threshold of 1 E-07.These thresholds are known as risk management action thresholds (RMAT). The RMTS Guidelines specifically requires RMAs for conditions that exceed the RMAT: For plant configurations in which the RMAT either has been exceeded (emergent event) or is anticipated to be exceeded (either planned condition or emergent event), appropriate compensatory risk management actions shall be identified and implemented.

Revising the STP procedure to apply thresholds consistent with the MR and the RMTS Guidelines will establish an internally consistent risk-informed process with one set of criteria that are firmly grounded in industry and regulatory precedent.
07-457-66 NOC-AE- 02/22/2007 12/12/2007 NOC-AE-07002114, Attachment 1, Page 4 For both the SFP External Makeup During revision of implementing 07002114 of 18, Table A.2-3, SFP External Spray (Table A.2-2) and SFP External procedures it was determined that the Strategy General Description, states in Spray (Table A.2-3) strategies the backup method of connecting the portable Phase 2 and 3 part: preferred source of water will be pump to draw from the identified Mitigation firewater from a yard fire hydrant, if Circulating Water locations in the Strategies

In addition, in NOC-AE-07002150, Attachment 1, Page 2 of 5, RAIs #5 and #8, STP clarified that both the SFP External Makeup (Table A.2-2) and SFP External Spray (Table A.2-3) strategies will be developed to deploy within 2 hours in accordance with NEI guidance.from the Demineralized Water Tank into the SFP within the 2 hour requirement has been validated (CR 07-457-65).
The alternate water supplies are necessary because there may be competing needs for the firewater system. The equipment necessary to use these sources is staged and available.
CREE 07-457-63 validates the flow rates using the Demineralized Water Tank as the water source. CREE 07-457-37 and 07-457-38 validate flow rates and capacities using the CWS which can be still be deployed but will require additional set-up time to access the CWS piping if the CWS is determined to be necessary.
The commitment in NOC-AE-07002150, Attachment 1, RAI 8 Page 2 of 7, Table A.2-3 (SFP External Spray Strategy)further clarified that the strategy will be developed to deploy within 2 hours. The (implementing procedures) guidance will require that the strategy be deployed within 2 hours when fuel is not dispersed and no later than 5 hours when fuel is dispersed.
While the spray strategy has been developed to ensure deployment within 2 hours, it can be deployed no later than 5 hours when fuel is in a dispersed configuration.
These commitments were reflected in the Safety Evaluation for AE-NOC-07001653, Appendix B sections, 2.3.1 and section 2.3.2; however, the specific sources of water were not specified in the "Evaluation" section. It is acceptable to make this change without prior NRC notification and approval.
The change will be reflected in the next periodic report of commitment changes and the NRC will be advised of the change during their 2008 inspection of 15b implementation under NRC TI 2515/171.

Original Commitment Revised Commitment Justification for Change Report Document Date Change Description Description Number 07-491 NOC-AE-02001320 Control Room Envelope Ventilation System 04/25/2002 07/30/2008 Licensee Event Report 02-001 -CRE Ventilation System Failed to Maintain Positive Pressure in the Control Room Corrective Action #2: Revised the Electrical Auxiliary Building HVAC System procedure to include a description of the CRE HVAC boundary, a list of fire dampers that can affect CRE HVAC operability and general precautions reminding personnel that surrounding HVAC systems can affect CRE HVAC operability.
Revised OPOP02-HE-001, Electrical Auxiliary Building HVAC System to remove the description and list described above and to add procedure precautions section to state: During normal (non-emergency) modes of operation, system registers or access panels may be'removed to facilitate inspection provided the following precautions are in place.A. Communications are established between the control room and the working group.B. In the event of an HVAC actuation to an emergency mode, the register or access panel is to be reinstalled immediately and secured in place.C. Notify the Control Room that the access panel or register has been reinstalled.
Replacing the damper tables and description in the addendum to the procedure with the instructions for communication with the control room provides Operations with positive and immediate configuration control of system boundaries rather than relying on a lengthy table of information.
The use of the dedicated individual for control of the damper configuration is consistent with the guidance for manual actions in Regulatory Issue Summary 2005-20 (now in Part 9900 of the NRC Inspection Manual). The restoration process is simple and there are no environmental conditions that would impact the ability of a dedicated individual to reinstall an access cover or register.Incorporation of the guidance into the operating procedure makes future changes subject to a codified change process (i.e., 10 CFR 50.59). In accordance with NEI 99-04, this corrective action need not be tracked as a commitment.
Note that this commitment change was not documented initially, and this justification was performed after the fact as a Condition Report action.}}
