Nine Mile Point Unit 2 June 2014 HCVS Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan 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 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 Modifying Licenses with Regard to Reliable Hardened Containment Vents Capable of Operation Under Severe Accidents, 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 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 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 will provide 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 will be provided consistent with the requirements of Order EA-13-109.

Nine Mile Point Unit 2 June 2014 HCVS Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan The Nine Mile Point Unit 2 (NMP2) 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 the Plant observed or derived symptoms.

The vent will utilize Containment Parameters of Pressure, Level and Temperature from the MCR instrumentation to monitor effectiveness of the venting actions The vent operation will be monitored by HCVS valve position, temperature, pressure and effluent radiation levels.

The 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.

Nine Mile Point Unit 2 June 2014 HCVS Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan Part 1: General Integrated Plan Elements and Assumptions Extent to which the guidance, JLD-ISG-2013-02 and NEI 13-02, are being followed. Identify any deviations.

Include a description of any alternatives to the guidance. A technical justification and 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 Nine Mile Point Unit 2 (NMP2) with no known deviations to the guidelines in JLD-ISG-2013-02 and NEI 13-02 for each phase as follows:

Phase 1 (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 2nd quarter 2016 Phase 2: by the startup from first refueling outage that begins after June 30, 2017, or June 30, 2019, whichever comes first. Currently scheduled for 2nd quarter 2018 If deviations are identified at a later date, then the deviations will be communicated in a future 6 month update following identification.

Provide key assumptions associated with implementation of HCVS Phase 1Strategies Ref: NEI 13-02 Section 1 Mark I/II Generic HCVS Related Assumptions:

Applicable EA-12-049 assumptions:

049-1. At time=0 the event is initiated and all rods insert and no other event beyond a common site ELAP is occurring at any or all of the units.

049-2. At time=1 hour an ELAP is declared and actions begin as defined in EA-12-049 compliance 049-3. Deployment resources are assumed to begin arriving at hour 6 and fully staffed by 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> 049-4. All activities associated with EA-12-049 (FLEX) that are not specific to implementation of the HCVS (i.e., HCVS valves, instruments and motive force) can be credited as having been accomplished.

Nine Mile Point Unit 2 June 2014 HCVS Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan Part 1: General Integrated Plan Elements and Assumptions Applicable EA-13-109 generic assumptions:

109-1. Site response activities associated with EA-13-109 actions are considered to have no limitations up to the time that the RPV level is below 2/3 core height (core damage is imminent) when access becomes restricted. Qualified and appropriately located 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 />. An example is recharging HCVS components after 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> with Severe Accident (SA) Capable actions, where SA Capable is defined as requiring an evaluation for SA conditions.

109-2. Recharging from FLEX only actions cannot be credited for SA HCVS functions, where FLEX only is defined as having no additional evaluations beyond compliance with Order EA-12-049.

109-3. SFP Level is maintained above EA-12-051 Level 2 with either on-site or off-site resources such that the SFP does not contribute to the analyzed source term 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 FAQ HCVS-05).

109-5. Operation of the HCVS is not bounded by the Technical Specifications because of the nature of the order criteria of assuming an ELAP and progression to a severe accident with ex-vessel core debris.

Therefore, the design and implementation of the HCVS does not create an un-reviewed safety question (change).

109-6. Typical ELAP operator actions, a limited number of quickly and easily performed actions (e.g.,

load stripping, control switch manipulation, valving-in nitrogen bottles) are acceptable to obtain HCVS venting dedicated functionality. 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 FAQ HCVS-02) 109-7. 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.

Additional analysis using RELAP5/MOD 3, GOTHIC, and MICROSHIELD, etc., are acceptable methods for evaluating environmental conditions in other portions of the plant.

109-8. Utilization of NRC Published Accident evaluations (e.g. SOARCA, SECY-12-0157, NUREG 1465) as related to Order EA-13-109 conditions are acceptable as references.

109-9. Permanent modifications installed per EA-12-049 are assumed implemented and may be credited for use in Order EA-13-109 response.

109-10. 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.

109-11. The Main Control Room is adequately protected from excessive radiation dose as per General Design Criterion (GDC) 19 in 10CFR50 Appendix A.

Plant Specific HCVS Related Assumptions/Characteristics:

NMP2-1 GDC-56 Exemption Request has been approved to allow relocation of the inboard containment isolation valve from the inside of containment to outside of containment.

Nine Mile Point Unit 2 June 2014 HCVS Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell 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 constraint to be successful should be identified with a technical basis and a justification provided that the time can reasonably be 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 evaluated per guidance.

Describe in detail in this section the technical basis for the constraints identified on the sequence of events timeline attachment.

See attached sequence of events timeline (Attachment 2)

Ref: EA-13-109 Section 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3 / NEI 13-02 Section 4.2.1/6.1 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 trained 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 (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.

6. Connect back-up power to Reactor Building Track Bay Prior to depletion of HCVS battery charger the dedicated HCVS power supply batteries (no less than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> from initiation of ELAP)

7. Replenish pneumatic supply Reactor Building Track Bay Prior to depletion of the pneumatic supply (no less than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> from initiation of ELAP) , Sequence of Events Timeline, was developed to identify required operator response times and potential environmental constraints. This timeline is based upon the following three sequences:

1. Sequence 1 is a based upon the action response times developed for FLEX when utilizing anticipatory venting in a BDBEE without core damage.

2. Sequence 2 is based on NUREG-1935 (SOARCA) results for a prolonged SBO (ELAP) with early loss of RCIC.

3. Sequence 3 is based on a SECY-12-0157 SBO (ELAP) with failure of RCIC because of subjectively assuming over injection.

Discussion of time constraints identified in Attachment 2 2 Hours, Initiate use of Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) per site procedures to maintain containment parameters within the limits that allow continued use of RCIC. Initiation of the HCVS can be completed with manipulation of only 4 switches located within the MCR. The reliable operation of HCVS will be met because HCVS meets the seismic requirements identified in NEI 13-02 and will be powered by dedicated HCVS batteries with motive force supplied to HCVS valves from installed nitrogen storage bottles. HCVS controls and HCVS instrumentation will be provided from a panel installed in the MCR. Other containment parameter instrumentation associated with operation of the HCVS is available in the MCR. Operation of the system will be available from either the MCR or a ROS. Dedicated HCVS batteries will provide power for greater than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. Therefore, initiation of the HCVS from the MCR or the ROS within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> is acceptable because of the simplicity and limited number of operator actions. Placing the HCVS in operation to maintain containment parameters within design limits for either BDBEE or SA venting would occur at a time further re moved from ELAP declaration as shown in Attachment 2.

24 Hours, Replace/install additional nitrogen bottles or install compressor. The nitrogen station will have extra connections so that new bottles can be added or an air compressor can be connected while existing bottles supply the HCVS. 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.

24 Hours, Connect back-up power to HCVS battery charger. The HCVS batteries are calculated to last a minimum of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> (Reference XXX). The HCVS battery charger will be able to be re-powered either from s 600VAC bus that will be re-powered from a portable diesel generator (DG) put in place for FLEX Page 7 of 41 revision NMP2_D3

Nine Mile Point Unit 2 June 2014 HCVS Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent or locally (Reactor Building Track Bay) from a small portable generator. The DG will be staged and placed in service within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> (Reference FLEX OIP) and therefore will be available prior to being required. In the event that the DG is not available, a local connection will allow a small portable generator to be connected to the UPS to provide power.

Discussion of radiological, temperature, other environmental constraints identified in Attachment 2 Actions to initiate HCVS operation are taken from the MCR or from the ROS in the Reactor Building Track Bay. Both locations have significant shielding and physical separation from radiological sources.

Non-radiological habitability for the MCR is being addressed as part of the FLEX response (reference XXX). The location in the Reactor Building Track Bay has no heat sources and will have open doors to provide ventilation.

Actions to replenish the pneumatic supply will be completed from the Reactor Building Track Bay. The Reactor Building Track Bay is located on the East-Northeast side of the Reactor Building. The HCVS will exit the Reactor Building on the Northwest side of the Reactor Building approximately 60 from ground elevation. Therefore, the location for pneumatic supply replenishment is shielded from the HCVS piping by the Reactor Building itself and is greater than 100 away from the piping.

Actions to install the DG will occur on the East side of the NMP2 Control Building and within the Control Building itself. The Control Building is located on the south side of the Reactor Building. The locations for installation (and control) of the DG are therefore shielded from HCVS piping by the Reactor Building and is greater than 100 away from the piping. In the event that this DG cannot be operated, the backup portable generator would be connected to the UPS in the Reactor Building Track Bay, which is also a shielded location.

Provide Details on the Vent characteristics Vent Size and Basis (EA-13-109 Section 1.2.1 / NEI 13-02 Section 4.1.1)

What is the plants licensed power? Discuss any plans for possible increases in licensed power (e.g. MUR, EPU).

Provide a discussion of electrical power requirements, including a description of dedicated 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> power supply from permanently installed sources. Include a similar discussion as above for the valve motive force requirements. Indicate the area in the plant from where the installed/dedicated power and pneumatic supply sources are coming Indicate the areas where portable equipment will be staged after the 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> period, the dose fields in the area, and any shielding that would be necessary in that area.

Indicate the location of the panels, and the dose fields in the area during severe accidents and any shielding that would be required in the area. This can be a qualitative assessment based on criteria in NEI 13-02.

Hydrogen (EA-13-109 Section 1.2.10, &1.2.11, and 1.2.12 / NEI 13-02 Section 2.3,2.4, 4.1.1, 4.1.6, 4.1.7, 5.1, &

Appendix H)

State which approach or combination of approaches the plant will take to address the control of flammable gases, clearly demarcating the segments of vent system to which an approach applies Unintended Cross Flow of Vented Fluids (EA-13-109 Section 1.2.3, 1.2.12 / NEI 13-02 Section 4.1.2, 4.1.4, 4.1.6 and Appendix H)

Provide a description to eliminate/minimize unintended cross flow of vented fluids with emphasis on interfacing ventilation systems (e.g. SGTS). What design features are being included to limit leakage through interfacing valves or Appendix J type testing features?

Component Qualifications (EA-13-109 Section 2.1 / NEI 13-02 Section 5.1)

State qualification criteria based on use of a combination of safety related and augmented quality dependent on the location, function and interconnected system requirements Monitoring of HCVS (Order Elements 1.1.4, 1.2.8, 1.2.9/NEI 13-02 4.1.3, 4.2.2, 4.2.4, and Appendix F/G)

Provides a description of instruments used to monitor HCVS operation and effluent. Power for an instrument will require the intrinsically safe equipment installed as part of the power sourcing Component reliable and rugged performance (EA-13-109 Section 2.2 / NEI 13-02 Section 5.2, 5.3)

HCVS components including instrumentation should be designed, as a minimum, to meet the seismic design requirements of the plant.

Components including instrumentation that are not required to be seismically designed by the design basis of the plant should be designed for reliable and rugged performance that is capable of ensuring HCVS functionality following a seismic event. (Reference ISG-JLD-2012-01 and ISG-JLD-2012-03 for seismic details.)

The components including instrumentation external to a seismic category 1 (or equivalent building or enclosure should be designed to meet the external hazards that screen in for the plant as defined in guidance NEI 12-06 as endorsed by JLD-ISG-12-01 for Order EA-12-049.

Use of instruments and supporting components with known operating principles that are supplied by manufacturers with commercial quality assurance programs, such as ISO9001. The procurement specifications shall include the seismic requirements and/or instrument design requirements, and specify the need for commercial design standards and testing under seismic loadings consistent with design basis values at the instrument locations.

Demonstration of the seismic reliability of the instrumentation through methods that predict performance by analysis, qualification testing under simulated seismic conditions, a combination of testing and analysis, or the use of experience data. Guidance for these is based on sections 7, 8, 9, and 10 of IEEE Standard 344-2004, IEEE Recommended Practice for Seismic Qualification of Class 1E Equipment for Nuclear Power Generating Stations, or a substantially similar industrial standard could be used.

Demonstration that the instrumentation is substantially similar in design to instrumentation that has been previously tested to seismic loading levels in accordance with the plant design basis at the location where the instrument is to be installed (g-levels and frequency ranges). Such testing and analysis should be similar to that performed for the plant licensing basis.

Nine Mile Point Unit 2 June 2014 HCVS Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent Vent Size and Basis The HCVS wetwell path is designed for venting steam/energy at a minimum capacity of 1% of 3988 MW thermal power at pressure of 38 psig (Reference XXX). This pressure is the lower of the containment design pressure (45psig) and the PCPL value (38 psig). The size of the wetwell portion of the HCVS is 12inches in diameter which provides adequate capacity to meet or exceed the Order criteria.

Vent Capacity The HCVS is capable of venting steam/energy at a minimum capacity of 1% of 3988 MW thermal power at a pressure of 38 psig. The 1% value is bounding because the Suppression Pool pressure suppression capacity is sufficient to absorb the decay heat to a point beyond the time that decay heat has lowered to 1% of rated output (Reference XXX). The vent would then be able to prevent containment pressure from increasing above the PCPL, since PCPL is limiting.

Vent Path and Discharge The HCVS vent path at NMP2 utilizes existing Containment Purge System piping from the suppression chamber and drywell up to the Standby Gas Treatment System isolation valves (2GTS*AOV101 and 2GTS*SOV102). The inboard primary containment isolation valves (PCIV) for both the suppression chamber and drywell lines will be relocated from inside the containment to outside the containment. The outboard PCIVs will be relocated to provide room for the inboard valves. The suppression chamber piping exits the containment into the Reactor Building and continues for approximately 140 until it ties into a combined Drywell/Wetwell 20 header. New 18 piping will tie into this header upstream of 2GTS*AOV101/SOV102.

A new air-operated valve will be provided in this piping, which will serve as both the primary method to control HCVS flow, therefore controlling containment pressure, and as secondary containment isolation. The discharge piping will exit through the Reactor Building wall approximately 60 above ground elevation and will be routed up the Northwest side of the Reactor Building to a discharge point approximately 3 above the highest point of the Reactor Building roof. The NMP2 vent path is completely separate from the Nine Mile Point Unit 1(NMP1) vent path.

Power and Pneumatic Supply Sources All electrical power required for operation of HCVS components will be provided by dedicated HCVS batteries with a minimum capacity capable of providing power for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> without recharging. A preliminary sizing evaluation has been completed. A final evaluation will be completed as part of the detailed design process when selection of electrical components is finalized. A battery charger is provided that requires a 240 VAC supply. This will be provided by a dedicated 600 VAC to 120/240 VAC transformer, which will be powered from a 600 VAC bus that will be re-powered by a diesel generator as part of the FLEX response. In addition, a connection point that utilizes standard electrical connections will be provided for a portable generator for sustained operation of the HCVS.

[OPEN ITEM- 1: Perform final sizing evaluation for HCVS batteries/battery charger and incorporate into FLEX DG loading calculation]

For the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> following the event, the motive supply for the AOVs will be nitrogen gas bottles that will be pre-installed and available. These bottles will be sized such that they can provide motive force for 12 cycles of a vent path (2 PCIVs and 1 PCV). A preliminary sizing evaluation has been completed. A final evaluation will be completed as part of the detailed design process when selection of the system AOVs is finalized. Supplemental motive force (e.g., additional nitrogen gas bottles, air compressor), portable Page 10 of 41 revision NMP2_D3

Nine Mile Point Unit 2 June 2014 HCVS Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent generators, and enough fuel for an additional 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> of operation will be stored on site in an area that is reasonably protected from assumed hazards consistent with the requirements of NEI 12-06. Pre-engineered quick disconnects will be provided to connect the supplemental motive force supply.

1. The HCVS flow path valves are air-operated valves (AOV) that are air-to-open and spring-to-shut.

Opening the valves requires energizing a DC powered solenoid operated valve (SOV) and providing motive air/gas. A backup means of operation is also available that does not require energizing or repositioning the SOV.

2. An assessment of temperature and radiological conditions will be performed to ensure operating personnel can safely access and operate controls at the ROS based on time constraints listed in Attachment 2.

3. All permanently installed HCVS equipment, including any connections required to supplement the HCVS operation during an ELAP (electric power, N2/air) will be located in areas reasonably protected from the hazards listed in Part 1 of this report.

4. All valves required to open the flow path will be designed for remote manual operation following an ELAP, such that the primary means of valve manipulation does not rely on use of a handwheel, reach-rod, or similar means requiring close proximity to the valve (reference FAQ HCVS-03). In addition, the PCV will have a handwheel as an optional means of operation. Any supplemental connections will be pre-engineered to minimize man-power resources and address environmental 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.

Location of Control Panels The HCVS design allows for initiation, operation, and monitoring of the HCVS from the MCR or the ROS.

The MCR location is protected from adverse natural phenomena and is the normal control point for HCVS operation and Plant Emergency Response actions.

The ROS will be located in the Reactor Building Track Bay. This location is protected from adverse natural phenomena and is shielded from the HCVS piping by the Reactor Building.

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 flammable 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.

Piping upstream of the HCVS pressure control valve (PCV) will be protected by preventing the mix of oxygen with flammable gases. Several methods are available to protect piping downstream of the PCV. Methods being considered include installation of a purge system, installation of a flow-check valve at the end of the piping, or designing the piping and PCV for gas detonation. Final determination of the method to be used for the PCV and downstream piping is an open item.

Nine Mile Point Unit 2 June 2014 HCVS Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent Unintended Cross Flow of Vented Fluids The HCVS for NMP2 is fully independent of NMP1 with separate discharge points. Therefore, the capacity at each unit is independent of the status of the other units HCVS. The only interfacing system with the HCVS is the Standby Gas Treatment System (SGTS). There are two parallel interface isolation valves separating the SGTS and the HCVS discharge piping (one 20 air operated butterfly valve and one 2 AC solenoid operated globe valve).

The interface valves between the HCVS and the SGTS are normally-closed, fail-closed (spring operated) valves. Upon initiation of an ELAP and associated loss of instrument air, the valves would automatically shut due to spring pressure. Therefore, no additional power is necessary. Environmental conditions in which the valve will be expected to remain functional will be assessed during the detailed engineering and design phase and upgraded valve internals installed required. Connection points will be added to the HCVS to facilitate Appendix J type testing of the interface valves. Testing and maintenance will be performed to ensure that the valves remain leak-tight within established leakage criteria. This reduces the potential for inter-system leakage through valves and dampers.

The features that prevent inadvertent HCVS flow path actuation due to a design error, equipment malfunction, or operator error include two normally closed/fail closed, in-series CIVs that are air-to-open and spring-to-shut.

A DC SOV must be energized to allow the motive air to open the valve. Although the same DC and motive air source will be used, separate control circuits including key-locked switches will be used for the two redundant valves to address single point vulnerabilities that may cause the flow path to inadvertently open. Manual valves that can bypass the SOVs will be locked closed and a bypass jumper will be removed from the system.

Component Qualifications The HCVS vent path components that directly interface with the pressure boundary, up to and including the PCV and SGTS interface valve will be classified as safety-related since the existing system is safety-related.

Likewise, any electrical or controls component which interfaces with Class 1E power sources will be classified as safety related, as their failure could adversely impact containment isolation and/or a safety-related power source. All safety-related components will be seismically and environmentally qualified in accordance with the design basis of the plant. Additional functionality evaluations for severe accident/boundary conditions specified in NEI 13-02 will be performed.

Interfacing HCVS components will be classified as augmented quality.

Qualification includes consideration of environmental conditions specified in NEI 13-02. HCVS components will be evaluated to ensure functionality following a design basis earthquake. Components that interface with the HCVS will be routed in seismically qualified structures or the structure will be analyzed for seismic ruggedness to ensure that any potential failure would not adversely impact the function of the HCVS or other safety related structures or components.

Instrumentation and controls components will also be evaluated for environmental qualification to conditions postulated for a severe accident, although these evaluations will not be considered part of the site Environmental Qualification (EQ) program.

The HCVS instruments, including valve position indication, process instrumentation, radiation monitoring, and support system monitoring, will be qualified by using one 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 Page 12 of 41 revision NMP2_D3

Nine Mile Point Unit 2 June 2014 HCVS Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent 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.

Instrument Qualification Method*

HCVS Process Temperature ISO9001 / IEEE 344-2004 / Demonstration HCVS Process Pressure ISO9001 / IEEE 344-2004 / Demonstration HCVS Process Radiation Monitor ISO9001 / IEEE 344-2004 / Demonstration HCVS Process Valve Position ISO9001 / IEEE 344-2004 / Demonstration HCVS Pneumatic Supply Pressure ISO9001 / IEEE 344-2004 / Demonstration HCVS Electrical Power Supply Availability ISO9001 / IEEE 344-2004 / Demonstration

• The specific qualification method used for each required HCVS instrument will be reported in future 6 month status reports Monitoring of HCVS The NMP2 wetwell HCVS will be capable of being manually operated during sustained operations from a control panel located in the MCR and will meet the requirements of Order element 1.2.4. The MCR is a readily accessible location with no further evaluation required. MCR dose associated with HCVS operation conforms to GDC 19/Alternate Source Term (AST). Additionally, to meet the intent for a secondary control location of section 1.2.5 of the Order, a readily accessible ROS will also be incorporated into the HCVS design as described in NEI 13-02 section 4.2.2.1.2.1. The controls 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.

The wetwell HCVS will include indications for HCVS valve position, vent pipe pressure, temperature, and effluent radiation levels to aid operator verification of HCVS function. 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. This instrumentation will be powered from the dedicated HCVS batteries, which provide a minimum of 24-hour supply.

Other instrumentation that supports HCVS function will be provided nearby in the MCR. This includes existing containment pressure and wetwell level indication. This instrumentation is not required to validate HCVS function and is therefore not powered from the dedicated HCVS batteries. However, these instruments are expected to be available since the DG that supports HCVS battery charger function after 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> also supplies the battery charger for these instruments and will be installed prior to depletion of the station batteries.

(reference FLEX OIP)

The HCVS instruments, including valve position indication, process instrumentation, radiation monitoring, and support system monitoring, will be qualified as previously described.

Nine Mile Point Unit 2 June 2014 HCVS Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent Component reliable and rugged performance The HCVS vent path components that directly interface with the pressure boundary, up to and including the PCV and SGTS interface valves, will be classified as safety-related since the existing system is safety-related.

In addition, any electrical or controls component which interfaces with Class 1E power sources will be classified as safety related, as their failure could adversely impact containment isolation and/or a safety-related power source. All safety-related components will be seismically qualified in accordance with the NMP2 design basis. All other HCVS components, including piping and supports, electrical power supply, valve actuator pneumatic supply, and instrumentation (local and remote) will be designed for reliable and rugged operation performance that is capable of ensuring HCVS functionality following a design basis earthquake as required per Section 2.2 of EA-13-109.

For the instruments required after a potential seismic event, the following measures will be used to verify that the design and installation is reliable / rugged and therefore 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 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 Practice for Seismic Qualification of Class 1E Equipment for Nuclear Power Generating Stations, (Reference xxx) 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) seismic qualification using seismic motion consistent with that of existing design basis loading at the installation location.

HCVS components are located in the Reactor Building, Control Building, and Reactor Building Track Bay.

The Reactor Building and Control Building are safety-related, seismic class I structures. The Reactor Building Track Bay will be evaluated for the external hazards that screen in for the plant as defined in guidance NEI 12-06 as endorsed by JLD-ISG-12-01 for Order EA-12-049.

The instrumentation/power supplies/cables/connections (components) will be qualified for temperature, pressure, radiation level, and total integrated dose radiation for the Effluent Vent Pipe and HCVS ROS location. The qualification for the equipment by the supplier will be validated by NMP for the specific location at NMP2 to ensure that the bounding conditions envelope the specific plant conditions.

Conduit design will be in accordance with Seismic Class 1 criteria. Both existing and new barriers (if required) will be used to provide a level of protection from missiles when equipment is located outside of seismically qualified structures.

Ref: EA-13-109 Section X.X.X /NEI 13-02 Section X.X.x First 24 Hour Coping Detail Provide a general description of the venting actions for first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> using installed equipment including station modifications that are proposed.

Ref: EA-13-109 Section X.X.X / NEI 13-02 Section X.X.x The operation of the HCVS will be designed to minimize reliance on operator actions for response to an ELAP and severe accident events. Immediate operator actions will be completed by qualified plant personnel from either the MCR or the HCVS ROS using remote-manual actions. The operator actions required to open a vent path are as described in Table 2-1. Remote-manual is defined in this report as a non-automatic power operation of a component and does not require the operator to be at or in close proximity to the component. No other operator actions are required to initiate venting.

The HCVS will be designed to allow initiation, control, and monitoring of venting from the MCR and will be able to be operated from an installed ROS as part of the response to this Order. Both locations minimize plant operators exposure to adverse temperature and radiological conditions and are protected from hazards assumed in Part 1 of this report.

Permanently installed electrical power and motive air/gas capability will be available to support operation and monitoring of the HCVS for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

System control:

i. Active: PCIVs are operated in accordance with EOPs/SAPs to control containment pressure.

The HCVS is designed for a minimum of 12 open/close cycles of the vent path under ELAP conditions over the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> following an ELAP. Controlled venting will be permitted in the revised EPGs. The configuration of the new pneumatic supplies allows the HCVS system controls to override the containment isolation circuit on the PCIVs needed to vent containment.

ii. Passive: Inadvertent actuation protection is provided by use of key-locked switches for both the HCVS power supply actuation and valve operation. The normal state of the system is de-energized and isolated.

The pneumatic supply station will be installed in the Reactor Building Track Bay and will include a nitrogen bottle station with additional connections for extra nitrogen bottles or connection of a portable air compressor.

Connections will utilize pre-engineered quick disconnect fittings. The location of the pneumatic supply station will be evaluated for reasonable protection per Part 1 of this OIP and modified as required for compliance.

Actions to replenish the pneumatic supplies include replacement of nitrogen bottles or installation and fueling of a portable air compressor. Sufficient nitrogen bottles will be staged to support operations for up to 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> following the ELAP event.

The normal power supply to the UPS will be provided by a dedicated 600 VAC to 120/240 VAC transformer, which in turn is powered from a 600 VAC bus that will be re-powered by a diesel generator as part of the FLEX response. A design change to install portable generator connections to this bus is being completed in support of EA-12-049 (reference FLEX OIP). In the event that power is not restored to the bus, a local 240 VAC connection to the UPS will allow the UPS to receive power from a small portable generator.

Nine Mile Point Unit 2 June 2014 HCVS Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan Part 2: Boundary Conditions for WW Vent - Venting Portable Equipment Deployment Provide a general description of the venting actions using portable equipment including modifications that are proposed to maintain and/or support safety functions.

Ref: EA-13-109 Section X.X.X / NEI 13-02 Section X.X.x Venting actions using portable equipment include the following:

Replacement and replenishment of pneumatic supply sources. This includes the option of replacing nitrogen bottles or connecting a portable air compressor. Equipment sufficient for an additional 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> of vent operation beyond the 24-hour installed supply would be pre-staged in the FLEX storage building. Installation of the HCVS includes installation of a pneumatic supply header that includes pneumatic regulators and utilizes standard pneumatic connections.

Establishing temporary power to repower the battery charger. Option 1 is to connect the FLEX DG to 2EJS*US1, which provides power to EHS*MCC102 that in turn powers the HCVS transformer and battery charger. Option 1 would be completed as part of the FLEX response strategy and occurs to the east and inside the NMP2 Control Building. Option 2, to be taken if the FLEX DG cannot be connected to 2EJS*US1, is to connect a small portable generator (approximately 2kW) to the battery charger. Option 2 would be taken locally at the battery charger. Either of these actions will also require the generators to be refueled. A one line diagram of the electrical system to be installed is included in Attachment 3.

Details:

Provide a brief description of Procedures / Guidelines:

Confirm that procedure/guidance exists or will be developed to support implementation.

Implementation procedures are being developed to address all HCVS operating strategies, including deployment of portable equipment. Direction to enter the procedure for HCVS operation will be given in the EOPs, the site ELAP procedure, and the SAPs. (refer to Part 4 for general information on procedures).

There is minimal impact to deployment actions since the HCVS discharge pipe will be located on the Northwest side of the Reactor Building and deployment areas are either on the East/Northeast side of the Reactor Building or on the South of the Reactor Building. Therefore, the procedures/guidelines for HCVS actions are the same as for support equipment section.

Provide a description of the programmatic controls equipment protection, storage and deployment and equipment quality addressing the impact of temperature and environment Ref: EA-13-109 Section X.X.X / NEI 13-02 Section X.X.x Program Controls:

The HCVS venting actions will include:

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 1 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.

NMP2 will utilize the industry developed guidance from the Owners Groups, EPRI, and NEI Task team to develop/enhance site specific procedures or guidelines to address the criteria in NEI 13-02. These procedures and/or guidelines will support existing symptom based command and control strategies in the current EOPs and will 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 (reference NEI 13-02), including the storage and location of portable equipment location of the remote control HCVS operating station (panel) training on operating the portable equipment testing of portable equipment Provisions will be established for out-of-service requirements of the HCVS and compensatory measures that comply with the criteria from NEI 13-02.

Licensees will establish provisions for out-of-service requirements of the HCVS and compensatory measures. The following provisions will be documented in the HCVS Program Document:

The provisions for out-of-service requirements for HCVS 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.

If for up to 30 days, the primary and alternate means of HCVS operation are non-functional, no Page 27 of 41 revision NMP2_D3

Nine Mile Point Unit 2 June 2014 HCVS Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan Part 4: Programmatic Controls, Training, Drills and Maintenance compensatory actions are necessary.

If the out of service times exceed 30 or 90 days as described above, the following actions will be performed:

The condition will entered into the corrective action system, The HCVS availability will be restored in a manner consistent with plant procedures, A cause assessment will be performed to prevent future unavailability for similar causes.

Actions will be initiated to implement appropriate compensatory actions Describe training plan List training plans for affected organizations or describe the plan for training development Ref: EA-13-109 Section X.X.X / NEI 13-02 Section X.X.x The Systematic Approach to Training (SAT) will be used to identify the population to be trained and to determine both the initial and continuing elements of the required training. As determined by the SAT process, the training will consider system operations when normal and backup power is available, and during SBO conditions. Required training will be completed prior to placing the HCVS in service.

Identify how the drills and exercise parameters will be met.

Alignment with NEI 13-06 and 14-01as codified in NTTF Recommendation 8and 9 rulemaking The Licensee should demonstrate use in drills, tabletops, or exercises for HCVS operation 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 X.X.X / NEI 13-02 Section X.X.x 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.

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 and expected use (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 Page 28 of 41 revision NMP2_D3

Nine Mile Point Unit 2 June 2014 HCVS Phase 1 Overall Integrated Plan Part 4: Programmatic Controls, Training, Drills and Maintenance documented and deviations from vendor recommendations 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 manner 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 X.X.X / NEI 13-02 Section X.X.x 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.

NMP2 will implement the following operation, testing and inspection requirements for the HCVS to ensure reliable operation of the system.

Table 4-1: Testing and Inspection Requirements Description Frequency Cycle the HCVS valves and the interfacing Once per operating cycle system valves not used to maintain containment integrity during operations.

Perform visual inspections and a walk down of Once per operating cycle HCVS components Test and calibrate the HCVS radiation Once per operating cycle monitors.

Leak test the HCVS. (1) Prior to first declaring the system functional; (2) Once every five years thereafter; and (3) After restoration of any breach of system boundary within the buildings Validate the HCVS operating procedures by Once per every other operating cycle conducting an open/close test of the HCVS control logic from its control panel and ensuring that all interfacing system valves move to their proper (intended) positions.
