Design and Licensing Basis (Contd) | |||
UFSAR Section 3.5 Missile Protection 3.5.0 The following criteria were adopted for assessing the plant's capability to withstand the missiles postulated in Sections 3.5.1.1 and 3.5.1.2: | |||
a) No perforation of the Containment Building (i.e., no loss of leak tightness) b) Assurance that the plant can be maintained in a safe shutdown condition c) Offsite exposure within 10 CFR 100 guidelines for missile damage resulting in radioactivity release. | |||
===17 Background=== | |||
Design and Licensing Basis (Contd) | |||
UFSAR Section 3.5 Missile Protection 3.5.0 Missile Selection and Description Barriers are provided for missiles which cannot be oriented to take advantage of existing structures and which could cause failure of safety-related structures or components. Generally, these barriers are designed to contain or deflect the missiles from the safety related feature; but, as a minimum requirement, penetration of the missile through the barrier reduces the missile energy to levels which cannot cause failure of the safety feature function. Wherever possible, advantage is taken of walls and structures arising from functional requirements, other than missile considerations, by judicious arrangement of equipment. | |||

Design and Licensing Basis (Contd) | |||
UFSAR Section 3.5.2 SSCs to be Protected from Externally Generated Missiles Structures, systems, and components whose failure could prevent safe shutdown of the reactor or result in significant uncontrolled release of radioactivity from the Unit are protected against externally generated missiles; they are listed in Table 3.5.1-2 Most safety-related systems are located within structures that are specifically designed and constructed to withstand external missiles; therefore they are adequately protected. The penetrations, access openings, and HVAC air intake and exhaust openings in these safety-related structures are protected by steel doors and/or concrete barriers designed to withstand external missiles. | |||
===23 Background=== | |||
* RIS 2015-06 recommended licensees confirm compliance with CLB for tornado missile protection | |||
* Harris identified non-conforming conditions during 2016 discovery walkdowns | |||
- Entered into Corrective Action Program | |||
- Assessed for Operability | |||
- Enforcement Guidance Memorandum (EGM) 15-002 and DSS-ISG-2016-01 invoked as appropriate | |||
- Conditions meeting reporting criteria reported in EN 52072 and Licensee Event Report 2016-001 (ADAMS Accession No. ML16245A804). | |||
* Examples of non-conforming conditions in safety-related systems | |||
- Emergency Diesel Generator - missile could penetrate steel door to impact fuel line | |||
- Emergency Service Water - outside air temperature sensors that control pump room ventilation not protected | |||
- Essential Services Chilled Water - chill water expansion tanks not protected | |||
- Main Steam Safety Valves - Vent stacks exposed 24 12 | |||
=== | |||
Background=== | |||
* RIS documented opportunity to disposition non-compliant conditions using NRC approved risk-informed methodology | |||
* NEI/Industry developed Tornado Missile Risk Evaluator methodology | |||
- NEI 17-02, TMRE Industry Guidance Document, was provided to NRC staff for information on June 23, 2017 and discussed at July 6, 2017, public meeting | |||
- Appendices A through E provide technical bases for the methodology | |||
- NEI 17-02 will be revised and provided to the NRC | |||
- Revised methodology will be incorporated by reference into License Amendment Request 25 TMRE Evaluation | |||
* Standard PRA practices used for non-TMRE-specific analyses | |||
* Evaluation did not deviate from TMRE guidance | |||
* Missile count assumption in TMRE confirmed conservative | |||
- Site missile count of 139,000 < 240,000 in TMRE | |||
* Some issues dispositioned as negligible impact consistent with standard PRA practices with justification For example, PRA room heat up analysis shows the battery room ventilation is not needed for success in the PRA model. This non-conformance is evaluated as having a negligible impact on risk from tornado missiles. | |||
* Site-specific tornado hazard curve developed IAW TMRE 26 13 | |||

NUREG 1038, Harris SER: Section 3.5.1
- The tornado missile spectrum was reviewed in accordance with SRP 3.5.1.4 (NUREG-0800).
Conformance with the acceptance criteria formed the basis for the staff evaluation of the tornado-missile spectrum with respect to the applicable regulations of 10 CFR 50. The portions of the SRP review procedures concerning the probability per year of damage to safety-related systems as a result of missiles were not used in the staff review.
- GDC 2 requires that structures, systems, and components essential to safety be designed to withstand the effects of natural phenomena, and GDC 4 requires that these same plant features be protected against missiles generated by natural phenomena. The missiles generated by natural phenomena of concern are those resulting from tornadoes. The applicant has identified a spectrum of missiles for a tornado Region I site as identified in RG 1.76, Position C.l, and has utilized missile Spectrum A of SRP 3.5.1.4 as the basis for the design of tornado-missile protection.

UFSAR Section 3.5 Missile Protection 3.5.0 Missile Selection and Description Barriers are provided for missiles which cannot be oriented to take advantage of existing structures and which could cause failure of safety-related structures or components. Generally, these barriers are designed to contain or deflect the missiles from the safety related feature; but, as a minimum requirement, penetration of the missile through the barrier reduces the missile energy to levels which cannot cause failure of the safety feature function. Wherever possible, advantage is taken of walls and structures arising from functional requirements, other than missile considerations, by judicious arrangement of equipment.

- RIS documented opportunity to disposition non-compliant conditions using NRC approved risk-informed methodology
- NEI/Industry developed Tornado Missile Risk Evaluator methodology
- NEI 17-02, TMRE Industry Guidance Document, was provided to NRC staff for information on June 23, 2017 and discussed at July 6, 2017, public meeting
- Appendices A through E provide technical bases for the methodology
- NEI 17-02 will be revised and provided to the NRC
- Revised methodology will be incorporated by reference into License Amendment Request 25 TMRE Evaluation
- Standard PRA practices used for non-TMRE-specific analyses
- Evaluation did not deviate from TMRE guidance
- Missile count assumption in TMRE confirmed conservative
- Site missile count of 139,000 < 240,000 in TMRE
- Some issues dispositioned as negligible impact consistent with standard PRA practices with justification For example, PRA room heat up analysis shows the battery room ventilation is not needed for success in the PRA model. This non-conformance is evaluated as having a negligible impact on risk from tornado missiles.
