Hardened Containment Venting System (HCVS) Phase I Overall Integrated Plan (EA-13-109)
NextEra Energy Duane Arnold Introduction In 1989, the NRC issued Generic Letter 89-16, "Installation of a Hardened Wetwell Vent,"
to all licensees of BWRs with Mark I containments to encourage licensees to voluntarily install a hardened wetwell vent. In response, licensees installed a hardened vent pipe from the wetwell to some point outside the secondary containment envelope (usually outside the reactor building). Some licensees also installed a hardened vent branch line from the drywell.
On March 19, 2013, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Commissioners directed the staff per Staff Requirements Memorandum (SRM) for SECY-12-0157 to require licensees with Mark I and Mark II containments to "upgrade or replace the reliable hardened vents required by Order EA-12-050 with a containment venting system designed and installed to remain functional during severe accident conditions." In response, the NRC issued Order EA-13-109, Issuance of Order to Modijfing Licenses with Regard to Reliable HardenedContainment Vents Capable of Operation Under Severe Accident Conditions, June 6, 2013. The Order (EA- 13-109) requires that licensees of BWR facilities with Mark I and Mark II containment designs ensure that these facilities have a reliable hardened vent (HCVS) to remove decay heat from the containment, and maintain control of containment pressure within acceptable limits following events that result in the loss of active containment heat removal capability while maintaining the capability to operate under severe accident (SA) conditions resulting from an Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP).
The Order requirements are applied in a phased approach where:
- "Phase 1 involves upgrading the venting capabilities from the containment wetwell to provide reliable, severe accident capable hardened vents to assist in preventing core damage and, if necessary, to provide venting capability during severe accident conditions." (Completed "no later than startup from the second refueling outage that begins after June 30, 2014, or June 30, 2018, whichever comes first.")
" "Phase 2 involves providing additional protections for severe accident conditions through installation of a reliable, severe accident capable drywell vent system or the development of a reliable containment venting strategy that makes it unlikely that a licensee would need to vent from the containment drywell during severe accident conditions." (Completed "no later than startup from the first refueling outage that begins after June 30, 2017, or June 30, 2019, whichever comes first.")
The NRC provided an acceptable approach for complying with Order EA- 13-109 through Interim Staff Guidance (JLD-ISG-2013-02) issued in November 2013. The ISG endorses the compliance approach presented in NEI 13-02 Revision 0, Compliance with Order EA-13-109, Severe Accident Reliable Hardened Containment Vents, with clarifications.
Except in those cases in which a licensee proposes an acceptable alternative method for Phase I OIP Page 2 of 43 Revision 0
Hardened Containment Venting System (HCVS) Phase I Overall Integrated Plan (EA-13-109)
NextEra Energy Duane Arnold complying with Order EA-13-109, the NRC staff will use the methods described in this ISG (NEI 13-02) to evaluate licensee compliance as presented in submittals required in Order EA- 13-109.
The Order also requires submittal of an overall integrated plan which provides a description of how the requirements of the Order will be achieved. This document provides the Overall Integrated Plan (OIP) for complying with Order EA-13-109 using the methods described in NEI 13-02 and endorsed by NRC JLD-ISG-2013-02. Six month progress reports are provided consistent with the requirements of Order EA-13-109.
Venting actions for the EA- 13-109 severe accident capable venting scenario can be summarized by the following:
" The HCVS will be initiated via manual action from the Main Control Room (MCR) or Remote Operating Station (ROS) at the appropriate time based on procedural guidance in response to plant conditions from observed or derived symptoms.
" The vent will utilize Containment Parameters of Pressure and Level from the MCR instrumentation to monitor effectiveness of the venting actions.
- The vent operation will be monitored by HCVS valve position, temperature, and effluent radiation levels.
- The HCVS motive force will be monitored and have the capacity to operate for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> with installed equipment. Replenishment of the motive force will be by use of portable equipment once the installed motive force is exhausted.
" Venting actions will be capable of being maintained for a sustained period of up to 7 days or a shorter time if justified.

Include a description of any alternatives to the guidance.A technicalfjustificationand basis for the alternative needs to be provided This will likely require a pre-meeting with the NRC to review the alternative.
Ref: JLD-ISG-2013-02 Compliance will be attained for Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC) with no known deviations to the guidelines in JLD-ISG-2013-02 and NEI 13-02 for each phase as follows:
" Phase I (wetwell): by the startup from the second refueling outage that begins after June 30, 2014, or June 30, 2018, whichever comes first. Currently scheduled for 41h Quarter 2016.

Provide key assumptions associatedwith implementation of HCVS Phase I Actions Ref: NEI 13-02 Section 1 Mark I/II Generic HCVS Related Assumptions:
Applicable EA- 12-049 assumptions:
049-1. Assumed initial plant conditions are as identified in NEI 12-06 section 3.2.1.2 items 1 and 2 049-2. Assumed initial conditions are as identified in NEI 12-06 section 3.2.1.3 items 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8 049-3. Assumed reactor transient boundary conditions are as identified in NEI 12-06 section 3.2.1.4 items 1, 2, 3 and 4 049-4. No additional events or failures are assumed to occur immediately prior to or during the event, including security events. (Reference NEI 12-06, section 3.2.1.3 item 9) 049-5. At Time=0 the event is initiated and all rods insert and no other event beyond an ELAP is occurring. (NEI 12-06, section 3.2.1.3 item 9 and 3.2.1.4 item 1- 4)
Phase I OIP Page 4 of 43 Revision 0
Hardened Contairnent Venting System (HCVS) Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan (EA-13-109)
NextEra Energy Duane Arnold Part 1: General Integrated Plan Elements and Assumptions 049-6. At approximately one hour an ELAP is declared and actions begin as defined in EA- 12-049 compliance.
049-7. DC power and distribution can be credited for the duration determined per the EA-12-049 (FLEX) methodology (NEI 12-06, section 3.2.1.3 item 8) 049-8. Deployment resources (augmented staff) are assumed to begin arriving at hour 6 and the site is accessible by offsite portable equipment within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> 049-9. All activities associated with plant specific EA-12-049 FLEX strategies that are not specific to implementation of the HCVS, including such items as debris removal, communication, notifications, SFP level and makeup, security response, opening doors for cooling, and initiating conditions for the event, can be credited as previously evaluated for FLEX.
Applicable EA- 13-109 generic assumptions:
109-1. Site response activities associated with EA-13-109 actions are considered to have no access limitations associated with radiological impacts while RPV level is above 2/3 core height (core damage is not expected).
109-2. Portable equipment can supplement the installed equipment after 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> provided the portable equipment credited meets the criteria applicable to the HCVS. An example is use of FLEX portable air supply equipment that is credited to recharge air lines for HCVS components after 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. The FLEX portable air supply used must be demonstrated to meet the "SA Capable" criteria that are defined in NEI 13-02 Section 4.2.4.2 and Appendix D Section D.1.3.
109-3. SFP Level is maintained with either on-site or off-site resources such that the SFP does not contribute to the analyzed source term (Reference HCVS-FAQ-07) 109-4. Existing containment components design and testing values are governed by existing plant containment criteria (e.g., Appendix J) and are not subject to the testing criteria from NEI 13-02 (reference HCVS-FAQ-05 and NEI 13-02 section 6.2.2).
109-5. Classical design basis evaluations and assumptions are not required when assessing the operation of the HCVS. The reason this is not required is that the order postulates an unsuccessful mitigation of an event such that an ELAP progresses to a severe accident with ex-vessel core debris which classical design basis evaluations are intended to prevent.
(Reference NEI 13-02 section 2.3.1).
109-6. HCVS manual actions that require minimal operator steps and can be performed in the postulated thermal and radiological environment at the location of the step(s) (e.g., load stripping, control switch manipulation, valving-in nitrogen bottles) are acceptable to obtain HCVS venting dedicated functionality. (reference HCVS-FAQ-01) 109-7. HCVS dedicated equipment is defined as vent process elements that are required for the HCVS to function in an ELAP event that progresses to core melt ex-vessel. (reference HCVS-FAQ-02 and White Paper HCVS-WP-01) 109-8. Use of MAAP Version 4 or higher provides adequate assurance of the plant conditions (e.g.,
RPV water level, temperatures, etc.) assumed for Order EA-13-109 BDBEE and SA HCVS operation. (reference FLEX MAAP Endorsement ML13190A201) Additional analysis using RELAP5/MOD 3, GOTHIC, PCFLUD, LOCADOSE and SHIELD are acceptable methods for evaluating environmental conditions in areas of the plant provided the specific version utilized is documented in the analysis.

Hardened Containment Venting System (HCVS) Phase I Overall Integrated Plan (EA-13-109)
NextEra Energy Duane Arnold Part 1: General Integrated Plan Elements and Assumptions 109-9. Utilization of NRC Published Accident evaluations (e.g. SOARCA, SECY-12-0157, and NUREG 1465) as related to Order EA-13-109 conditions are acceptable as references.
(reference NEI 13-02 section 8) 109-10. Penranent modifications installed per EA-12-049 are assumed implemented and may be credited for use in EA-13-109 Order response.
109-11. This Overall Integrated Plan is based on Emergency Operating Procedure changes consistent with EPG/SAGs Revision 3 as incorporated per the sites EOP/SAMG procedure change process.
109-12. Under the postulated scenarios of order EA-13-109 the Control Room is adequately protected from excessive radiation dose per General Design Criterion (GDC) 19 in 10CFR50 Appendix A and no further evaluation of its use as the preferred HCVS control location is required. (reference HCVS-FAQ-01) In addition, adequate protective clothing and respiratory protection is available if required to address contamination issues.
Plant Specific HCVS Related Assumptions/Characteristics:
PLT-1. The rupture disk, if retained, in the final design will be manually breeched if desired for anticipatory venting to allow establishing a containment vent path when containment pressure is approximately 10 PSIG (Approximately 3.3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br />) Reference 32.

NextEra Energy Duane Arnold Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wet Well Vent Provide a sequence of events and identify any time or environmental constraint required for success including the basis for the constraint.
HCVS Actions that have a time constraintto be successful should be identified with a technical basis and a justificationprovided that the time can reasonablybe met (for example, action to open vent valves).
HCVS Actions that have an environmental constraint (e.g. actions in areas of High Thermal stress or High Dose areas)should be evaluatedper guidance.
Describe in detail in this section the technical basisfor the constraints identified on the sequence of events timeline attachment.See attachedsequence of events timeline (Attachment 2)
Ref: EA-13-109 Section 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3 / NEI 13-02 Section 4.2.5, 4.2.6, 6.1.1 The operation of the HCVS will be designed to minimize the reliance on operator actions in response to hazards listed in Part 1. Immediate operator actions will be completed by plant personnel and will include the capability for remote-manual initiation from the HCVS control station. A list of the remote manual actions performed by plant personnel to open the HCVS vent path can be found in the following Table (2-1). A HCVS Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP) Failure Evaluation table, which shows alternate actions that can be performed, is included in Attachment 4.

A timeline was developed to identify required operator response times and potential enviromnental constraints. This timeline is based upon the following three cases:
- 1. Case I is a based upon the action response times developed for FLEX when utilizing anticipatory venting in a BDBEE without core damage.
- 2. Case 2 is based on a SECY-12-0157 long term station blackout (LTSBO) (or ELAP) with failure of RCIC.
- 3. Case 3 is based on NUREG-1935 (SOARCA) results for a prolonged SBO (or ELAP) with the loss of RCIC.
Discussion of time constraints identified in Attachment 2 for the three timeline cases identified above At approximately 3.3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br />, initiate use of Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) per site procedures to maintain contaimnent parameters below design limits and within the limits that allow continued use of RCIC - The reliable operation of HCVS will be met because HCVS meets the seismic requirements identified in NEI 13-02 and will be powered by DC buses with motive force supplied to HCVS valves from installed accumulators and portable compressed gas storage bottles. Critical HCVS controls and instruments associated with containment will be DC powered and operated from the MCR or a Remote Operating Station. The power for HCVS will be available as long as the HCVS is required. HCVS uninterruptable power supply battery capacity will be available to extend past 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. In addition, when available, Phase 2 FLEX Diesel Generator (DG) can provide power before battery life is exhausted. Thus, Phase I OIP Page 8 of 43 R evision 0
Hardened Containment Venting System (HCVS) Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan (EA-13-109)
NextEra Energy Duane Arnold Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wet Well Vent initiation of the HCVS from the MCR or the Remote Operating Station within approximately 3.3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> is acceptable because the actions can be performed any time after declaration of an ELAP and prior to reaching containment pressure limits. For purposes of analysis a containment pressure of 10 PSIG was selected for initiation of venting and initiation after 10 PSIG but prior to reaching contaimnent pressures of 53 PSIG (greater than 7 hours8.101852e-5 days <br />0.00194 hours <br />1.157407e-5 weeks <br />2.6635e-6 months <br />) is also acceptable for BDBEE venting. This action can also be performed for SA HCVS operation which occur at a time further removed from an ELAP declaration as shown in Attachment 2.
" At approximately 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, compressed gas bottles will be valved-in to supplement the air tank supply. This can be performed at any time prior to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> to ensure adequate capacity is maintained so this time constraint is not limiting.
- Under the FLEX program, one of two portable diesel generators can be connected to station 480 Volt electrical distribution at MCC 1B32. From this motor control center, electrical power can be supplied to the planned uninterruptable power supply (UPS) for HCVS prior to depletion of the UPS batteries. For purposes of compliance with order EA-13-109 no credit is taken for this action until after 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. Thus the DGs will be available to be placed in service at any point after 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> as required to supply power to HCVS critical components/instruments. A DG will be maintained in on-site FLEX storage buildings. DG will be transferred and staged via haul routes and staging areas evaluated for impact from external hazards. Connection points will be installed to facilitate the connections and operational actions required to supply power for days 2-7 of the ELAP.
Discussion of radiological and temperature constraints identified in Attachment 2
- All actions required in the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> to vent the containment can be performed from the main control room.
" At approximately 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, compressed gas bottles will be valved-in to supplement the air accumulator supply as stated for the related time constraint item. Compressed gas bottles will be located in an area that is accessible to operators. Connection points and valves will be located in the control building 1A4 essential switchgear room.
" At approximately 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, portable generators will have been moved to a location in or adjacent to the Turbine Building and connected to MCC 1B32 to allow supply of power to the HCVS UPS. The connections are located in the control building IA3 essential switchgear room and the location of the DG and access for refueling will be located in the turbine building or outside yard area.

Hardened Containment Venting System (HCVS) Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan (EA-13-109)
NextEra Energy Duane Arnold Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wet Well Vent Vent Size and Basis The HCVS wetwell path will be designed for venting steam/energy at a nominal capacity of 1% or greater of the current licensed thermal power (CLTP) of 1912 MWth at a containment pressure of 53 psig (PCPL). No additional Power Uprates are currently planned. This pressure is the lower of the containment design pressure (56 psig) and the PCPL value (53 psig). The nominal size of the wetwell portion of the HCVS will be 10 inches in diameter which provides adequate capacity to meet or exceed the Order criteria.
Vent Capacity The 1% value at DAEC assumes that the suppression pool pressure suppression capacity is sufficient to absorb the decay heat generated during the first 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br />. The vent would then be able to prevent containment pressure from increasing above the containment design pressure. It was verified in the GE Safety Analysis Report for DAEC Extended Power Uprate Analysis (EPU) that the drywell and suppression pool temperatures remain below the design temperatures.
Vent Path and Discharge The planned HCVS vent path at DAEC for the wetwell will utilize the existing containment penetration that supports normal venting to the Standby Gas Treatment system. It exits the Primary Containment into the Reactor Building in the Northeast Corner room. This pipe will extend through the Reactor Building to the roof.
The HCVS discharge path will be routed to a point above any adjacent structure (excludes off gas stack) This discharge point is just above the Reactor Building roof such that the release point will vent away from emergency ventilation system intake and exhaust openings, main control room location, location of HCVS portable equipment, access routes required following a ELAP and BDBEE, and emergency response facilities; however, these must be considered in conjunction with other design criteria (e.g., flow capacity) and pipe routing limitations, to the degree practical. Since pipe routing will be within the Class 1 structure of the Reactor Building until it exits the building through the roof, no tornado missile protection is expected to be required above a height of 30 feet from ground elevation. Protection from external events as defined by NEI 12-06 for the outside portions of the selected release stack or structure is warranted. Evaluation of potential tornado missile effects on portions of HCVS located above the protected area of the Reactor Building will be performed (See , Open Item 3).
Power and Pneumatic Supply Sources All electrical power required for operation of dedicated HCVS components will be routed through an uninterruptible power supply with batteries sufficient for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of service.
Pneumatic power is normally provided by safety related air compressors with local accumulators at the valves. Following an ELAP event the air compressors will not be available. Existing accumulators are not sized for the number of venting cycles anticipated and therefore the accumulators will be upgraded or alternate supplies provided to ensure the required operating cycles for the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> are maintained.
- 1. The HCVS flow path valves are air-operated valves (AOV) with air-to-open and spring-to-shut. Opening the valves requires energizing a solenoid operated valve (SOV) and providing Phase I OIP Page 12 of 43 Revision 0
Hardened Containment Venting System (HCVS) Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan (EA-13-109)
NextEra Energy Duane Arnold Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wet Well Vent motive air/gas. The detailed design will provide a permanently installed power source and motive air/gas supply adequate for the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. The initial stored motive air/gas will allow for a minimum of eight valve operating cycles for the HCVS valves for the first 24-hours.
- 2. An assessment of temperature and radiological conditions will be performed to ensure that operating personnel can safely access and operate controls at the Remote Operating Station based on time constraints listed in Attachment 7 (Action Item 2).
- 3. All permanently installed HCVS equipment, including any connections required to supplement the HCVS operation during an ELAP (i.e., electric power, N2/air) will be located in areas reasonably protected from defined hazards listed in Part 1 of this report.
- 4. All valves required to open the flow path or valves that require manual operation to be closed to prevent diversion or cross-flow into other systems are designed for remote manual operation following a ELAP, such that the primary means of valve manipulation does not rely on use of a hand wheel, reach-rod or similar means that requires close proximity to the valve (reference FAQ HCVS-03). Any supplemental connections will be pre-engineered to minimize man-power resources and address enviromnental concerns. Required portable equipment will be reasonably protected from screened in hazards listed in Part 1 of this OIP.
- 5. Access to the locations described above will not require temporary ladders or scaffolding.
- 6. Following the initial 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> period, additional motive force will be supplied from compressed gas bottles that will be connected near the ROS in the control building essential switchgear room such that radiological impacts are minimized.
Location of Control Panels The HCVS design allows initiating and then operating and monitoring the HCVS from the Main Control Room (MCR). A remote control station will be established in the 1A4 essential Switchgear Room, but use of this remote control station is not required in the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. The MCR and the essential switchgear location are protected from adverse natural phenomena and are the normal control points for Plant Emergency Response actions.
Hydrogen As is required by EA-13-109, Section 1.2.11, the HCVS must be designed such that it is able to either provide assurance that oxygen cannot enter and mix with flamunable gas in the HCVS (so as to form a combustible gas mixture), or it must be able to accommodate the dynamic loading resulting from a combustible gas detonation. Several configurations are available which will support the former (e.g.,
purge, mechanical isolation from outside air, etc.) or the latter (design of potentially affected portions of the system to withstand a detonation relative to pipe stress and support structures).
An evaluation will be performed of the system design for hydrogen/carbon monoxide control measures (See Attachment 7, Open Item 4).
Unintended Cross Flow of Vented Fluids The HCVS will use the Containment Purge System containment isolation valves (CV-4300, CV-4301 and CV-4309) for containment isolation along with hardened vent valve CV-4357. These containment Phase I OIP Page 13 of 43 Revision 0
Hardened Containment Venting System (HCVS) Phase I Overall Integrated Plan (EA-13-109)
NextEra Energy Duane Arnold Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wet Well Vent isolation valves are AOVs and they are air-to-open and spring-to-shut. CV-4300 and CV-4357 must be open to establish the vent path and CV-4301 must be closed to isolate the purge path from unintended flow when using the HCVS. An SOV must be energized to allow the motive air to open the valve. Although CV-4300 is shared between the Containment Purge System and the HCVS, separate solenoid power control circuits will be provided for each function. Specifically:
- The Containment Purge System control circuit is AC powered and will be used during normal operating modes.
- DC powered control circuits supply the solenoids that control opening of CV-4300 and CV-4357 when using the HCVS.
" Loss of power or primary containment isolation signals ensure CV-4301 is closed under conditions associated with HCVS use.
Prevention of Inadvertent Actuation For design bases accidents and transients, containment cooling is available and EOP guidance would not require use of the HCVS. In addition, the HCVS will be designed to provide features to prevent inadvertent actuation due to a design error, equipment malfunction, or operator error such that any credited containment accident pressure (CAP) that would provide net positive suction head to the emergency core cooling system (ECCS) pumps will be available (inclusive of a design basis loss-of-coolant accident (DBLOCA)). DAEC credits containment over pressure for DBLOCA as described in UFSAR Section 5.4 and shown in UFSAR figures 5.4-15 sheet 1 and 5.4-15 sheet 2. However, for conditions assumed by Order EA-13-109 the ECCS pumps will not have normal power available because of the starting boundary conditions of an ELAP.
The features that prevent inadvertent actuation are two PCIVs in series with key lock switches. The current plant design includes a rupture disc set at approximately 50 PSIG. It is anticipated that final design of the HCVS system will eliminate this rupture disc to simplify venting operations provided any leakage that bypasses secondary contaimnent for design bases events is confirmed to be acceptable.
Confirm secondary containment bypass leakage is acceptable without an installed rupture disk or retain an appropriate disk (See Attachmnent 7, Open Item 1).
Component Qualifications The HCVS components downstream of the second containment isolation valve and components that interface with the HCVS will be routed in seismically qualified structures. HCVS components that directly interface with the pressure boundary will be considered safety related, as the existing system is safety related. The containment system limits the leakage or release of radioactive materials to the environment to prevent offsite exposures from exceeding the guidelines of 10CFR50.67. During normal or design basis operations, this means serving as a pressure boundary to prevent release of radioactive material.
Likewise, any electrical or controls component which interfaces with Class 1E power sources will be considered safety related up to and including appropriate isolation devices such as fuses or breakers, as their failure could adversely impact containment isolation and/or a safety-related power source.
The remaining components will be considered Augmented Quality. Newly installed piping and valves Phase I OIP Page 14 of 43 Revision 0
Hardened Containment Venting System (HCVS) Phase I Overall Integrated Plan (EA-13-109)
NextEra Energy Duane Arnold Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wet Well Vent will be seismically qualified to handle the forces associated with the seismic margin earthquake (SME) back to their isolation boundaries. Electrical and controls components will be seismically qualified and will include the ability to handle harsh environmental conditions (although they will not be considered part of the site Environmental Qualification (EQ) program).
HCVS instrumentation performance (e.g., accuracy and precision) need not exceed that of similar plant installed equipment. Additionally, radiation monitoring instrumentation accuracy and range will be sufficient to confirm flow of radionuclides through the HCVS but will not directly quantify effluents.
The HCVS instruments, including valve position indication, process instrumentation, radiation monitoring, and support system monitoring, will be qualified by using one or more of the three methods described in the ISG, which includes:
- 1. Purchase of instruments and supporting components with known operating principles from manufacturers with commercial quality assurance programs (e.g., ISO9001) where the procurement specifications include the applicable seismic requirements, design requirements, and applicable testing.
- 2. Demonstration of seismic reliability via methods that predict performance described in IEEE 344-2004.
- 3. Demonstration that instrumentation is substantially similar to the design of instrumentation previously qualified.

Monitoring of HCVS The DAEC wetwell HCVS will be capable of being manually operated during sustained operations from a control panel located in the main control room (MCR) and will meet the requirements of Order element 1.2.4. The MCR is a readily accessible location with no further evaluation required. Control Room dose associated with HCVS operation conforms to GDC 19/Alternative Source Term (AST).
Phase I OIP Page 15 of 43 Revision 0
Hardened Containment Venting System (HCVS) Phase I Overall Integrated Plan (EA-13-109)
NextEra Energy Duane Arnold Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wet Well Vent Additionally, to meet the intent for a secondary control location of section 1.2.5 of the Order, a readily accessible Remote Operating Station (ROS) will also be incorporated into the HCVS design as described in NEI 13-02 section 4.2.2.1.2.1. The controls and indications at the ROS location will be accessible and functional under a range of plant conditions, including severe accident conditions with due consideration to source term and dose impact on operator exposure, extended loss of AC power (ELAP), and inadequate containment cooling. An evaluation will be performed to determine accessibility to the location, habitability, staffing sufficiency, and communication capability with Vent-use decision makers.
The wetwell HCVS will include means to monitor the status of the vent system in both the MCR and the ROS. Included in the current design of the hardened vent (HV) are control switches in the MCR with valve position indication. The existing HV controls currently meet the environmental and seismic requirements of the Order for the plant severe accident and will be upgraded to address ELAP. The ability to open/close these valves multiple times during the event's first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> will be provided by air accumulator tanks and the HCVS uninterruptible power supply. Beyond the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, the ability to open these valves will be ensured with replaceable compressed gas bottles and FLEX generators. Prevention of inadvertent operation of HCVS from the ROS will be accomplished by other positive physical control (e.g., locked valve separated from air tank to not inadvertently pressurize).
The wetwell HCVS will include indications for vent pipe temperature and system effluent radiation levels in the MCR. Other important information on the status of supporting systems, such as power source status and pneumatic supply pressure, will also be included in the design and located to support HCVS operation. The wetwell HCVS will include existing containment pressure and wetwell level indication in the MCR to monitor vent operation. This monitoring instrumentation provides the indication from the MCR as per Requirement 1.2.4 and will be designed for sustained operation during an ELAP event consistent with FLEX key parameter indication.
Component reliable and rugged performance The HCVS downstream of the second containment isolation valve, including piping and supports, electrical power supply, valve actuator pneumatic supply, and instrumentation (local and remote) components, will be designed/analyzed to conform to the requirements consistent with the applicable design codes (e.g., Non-safety, Cat 1, SS and 300# ASME or B31.1, NEMA 4, etc.) for the plant and to ensure functionality following a design basis earthquake.
Additional modifications required to meet the Order will be reliably functional at the temperature, pressure, and radiation levels consistent with the vent pipe conditions for sustained operations. The instrumentation/power supplies/cables/connections (components) will be qualified for temperature, pressure, radiation level, total integrated dose radiation for the Effluent Vent Pipe.
Conduit design will be installed to Seismic Class 1 criteria. Conduit will be located inside a seismically qualified structure. Augmented quality requirements, will be applied to the components Phase I OIP Page 16 of 43 Revision 0

If the instruments are purchased as commercial-grade equipment, they will be qualified to operate under severe accident environment as required by NRC Order EA- 13-109 and the guidance of NEI 13-02. These qualifications will be bounding conditions for DAEC.
For the instruments required after a potential seismic event, the following methods will be used to verify that the design and installation is reliable / rugged and thus capable of ensuring HCVS functionality following a seismic event. Applicable instruments are rated by the manufacturer (or otherwise tested) for seismic impact at levels commensurate with those of postulated severe accident event conditions in the area of instrument component use using one or more of the following methods:
" demonstration of seismic motion will be consistent with that of existing design basis loads at the installed location;
" substantial history of operational reliability in environments with significant vibration with a design envelope inclusive of the effects of seismic motion imparted to the instruments proposed at the location;
" adequacy of seismic design and installation is demonstrated based on the guidance in Sections 7, 8, 9, and 10 of IEEE Standard 344-2004, IEEE Recommended Practicefor Seismic Qualificationof Class JE Equipment for Nuclear Power GeneratingStations, (Reference 27) or a substantially similar industrial standard;
- demonstration that proposed devices are substantially similar in design to models that have been previously tested for seismic effects in excess of the plant design basis at the location where the instrument is to be installed (g-levels and frequency ranges); or
" seismic qualification using seismic motion consistent with that of existing design basis loading at the installation location.

- Site procedures and programs are being developed in accordance with NEI 13-02 to address use and storage of portable equipment relative to the Severe Accident defined in NRC Order EA 109 and the hazards applicable to the site per Part I of this OIP.
" Routes for transporting portable equipment from storage location(s) to deployment areas will be developed as the response details are identified and finalized. The identified paths and deployment areas will be accessible during all modes of operation and during Severe Accidents.
Procedures.
Procedures will be established for system operations when normal and backup power is available, and during ELAP conditions.
The HCVS procedures will be developed and implemented following the plants process for initiating or revising procedures and contain the following details:
- appropriate conditions and criteria for use of the HCVS
- when and how to place the HCVS in operation,
- the location of system components,
- instrumentation available,
- normal and backup power supplies,
- directions for sustained operation, including the storage location of portable equipment,
- training on operating the portable equipment, and
- testing of portable equipment For design bases events, DAEC credits containment overpressure to support NPSH for AC powered emergency core cooling system pumps as shown in UFSAR figures 5.4-15 sheet 1 and 5.4-15 sheet 2. The AC powered pumps are not available during an ELAP. Procedures for operation of the containment vent will address potential impacts on NPSH.
Provisions for out-of-service requirements will be established for the HCVS and compensatory measures.
The following provisions will be documented in site administrative controls:
- The provisions for out-of-service requirements will be established for the HCVS functionality are applicable in Modes 1, 2 and 3.
If for up to 90 consecutive days, the primary or alternate means of HCVS operation are non-functional, no compensatory actions are necessary.

The training will be refreshed on a periodic basis and as any changes occur to the HCVS.
Training content and frequency will be established using the Systematic Approach to Training (SAT) process.
In addition, (reference NEI 12-06) all personnel on-site will be available to supplement trained personnel.
Identify how the drills and exercise parameters will be met.
Alignment with NEI 13-06 and 14-Olas codified in NTTF Recommendation 8 and 9 rulemaking The Licensee should demonstrate use of the HCVS system in drills, tabletops, or exercises as follows:
" Hardened containment vent operation on normal power sources (no ELAP).
- During FLEX demonstrations (as required by EA- 12-049: Hardened containment vent operation on backup power and from primary or alternate location during conditions of ELAP/loss of UHS with no core damage. System use is for containment heat removal AND containment pressure control.
- HCVS operation on backup power and from primary or alternate location during conditions of ELAP/loss of UHS with core damage. System use is for containment heat removal AND containment pressure control with potential for combustible gases (Demonstration may be in conjunction with SAG change).
Ref: EA-13-109 Section 3.1 / NEI 13-02 Section 6.1.3 The site will utilize the guidance provided in NEI 13-06 and 14-01 for guidance related to drills, tabletops, or exercises for HCVS operation. In addition, the site will integrate these requirements with compliance to any rulemaking resulting from the NTTF Recommendations 8 and 9.

Hardened Containment Venting System (HCVS) Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan (EA- 13-109)
NextEra Energy Duane Arnold Part 4: Programmatic Controls, Training, Drills and Maintenance Describe maintenance plan:
" The HCVS maintenance program should ensure that the HCVS equipment reliability is being achieved in a manner similar to that required for FLEX equipment. Standard industry templates (e.g., EPRI) and associated bases may be developed to define specific maintenance and testing.
o Periodic testing and frequency should be determined based on equipment type, expected use and manufacturer's recommendations (further details are provided in Section 6 of this document).
o Testing should be done to verify design requirements and/or basis. The basis should be documented and deviations from vendor recormnendations and applicable standards should be justified.
o Preventive maintenance should be determined based on equipment type and expected use. The basis should be documented and deviations from vendor recommendations and applicable standards should be justified.
o Existing work control processes may be used to control maintenance and testing.
- HCVS permanent installed equipment should be maintained in a manner that is consistent with assuring that it performs its function when required.
o HCVS permanently installed equipment should be subject to maintenance and testing guidance provided to verify proper function.
- HCVS non-installed equipment should be stored and maintained in a maimer that is consistent with assuring that it does not degrade over long periods of storage and that it is accessible for periodic maintenance and testing.
Ref: EA-13-109 Section 1.2.13 / NEI 13-02 Section 5.4, 6.2 The site will utilize the standard EPRI industry PM process (Similar to the Preventive Maintenance Basis Database) for establishing the maintenance calibration and testing actions for HCVS components. The control program will include maintenance guidance, testing procedures and frequencies established based on type of equipment and considerations made within the EPRI guidelines.
DAEC will implement the following operation, testing and inspection requirements for the HCVS to ensure reliable operation of the system.
