The Level 1 and Level 2 Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) analyses for Beaver Valley Power Station (BVPS) Units 1 and 2 were originally developed in response to Generic Letter 88-20, Individual Plant Examination for Severe Accident Vulnerabilities - | |||
10 CFR 50.54(f). | |||
The BVPS-1 Individual Plant Examination (IPE) and the Individual Plant Examination of External Events (IPEEE) were submitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in October 1992 and June 1995, respectively. Since the inception of these studies, the BVPS-1 PRA model has evolved and has been updated many times. The following table provides a summary of the BVPS-1 PRA model revision history. | |||

Although mathematically correct, the use of Bayesian updating without some limitations has been criticized, with justification, in the past. Under certain conditions, bayesian updating with zero or 1 failures may reduce a prior mean (with a high error factor)considerably. | Page 26 of 301 | ||
Since PRA results and applications depend on, and are measured mainly by point estimate (mean) results, but not by uncertainty bounds, any evidence that shifts the mean considerably must be rigorously justified. | |||
The BV PRA uses bayesian analysis for virtually all transient initiating events. In most cases, the plant specific data is 0 trips in 11 years. In general the posterior is lower than the prior. If the plant specific data was used by itself, the is enough data to justify a point estimate of about .05/yr.The prior for LOSP is .027. The prior for SGTR is .0074. The posterior for LOSP is .025 and for SGTR .0048. In both these cases, the posterior is lower than the prior and lower than the plant specific data can justify. This is | Table 1-1.

distribution based on parameters from the NUREG study (for LOCA initiators, for example).Updating a lognormal distribution with 0 events in about 10 years does not change the mean in most cases (or there is a slight change in the third significant number).A more general type of priors is the industry data. The prior consists of three parts. The first and most important part is the failure and success data for a set of PWR power plants. The second part is the so-called grid, which consists of a set of values for the median (of the assumed prior curve), and a set of values for the range factor (of the assumed prior curve). The selection of median and range factor should be such that the resulting distribution should not skewed toward either end of the median or range factor in the grid (grid is the matrix of median and range factor values). The third part of a prior is the so-called lambdas, which is a set of values for the possible bin values that the distribution can locate. The Page 28 of 301 Table 1-1.

It should be pointed out that for the industrial data type of prior, updating it with zero failures typically results in a smaller mean value for the posterior then the prior.However, the decrease is much smaller in magnitude than the moment matching approach, and it should be treated as a normal behavior of the Bayesian analysis (i.e., zero failures always provide information leading to a lower estimate). | Rules for when to use Bayesian Updating a lognormal distribution analysis and when to use generic data with 0 events in about 10 years should be developed to ensure that does not change the mean in failure rates and initiating event most cases (or there is a slight frequencies are not reduced below change in the third significant both the generic values and the plant number). | ||
In response to this observation, each posterior distribution that was Bayesian updated with zero failures was reexamined to assure that there was no skewing of results on the grid, and that there were no abnormally large values (excessive probabilities) in a single lambda bin. In some cases a few more lambdas were added to actually bring the probability per each lambda lower than 0.1. However, in Page 29 of 301 Table 1-1.

08/2012 5a Interim model update to include Internal Flooding, RG 1.200, R1 (including Floods) CCII Compliant Model The BVPS-1 and BVPS-2 PRA models, PRA-BV1-AL-R05 (BVI REV5) and PRA-BV2-AL-R05a (BV2REV5A), were the starting points for the Fire PRA. The BVPS PRA models have been subjected to assessments establishing the technical adequacy of the PRA. These assessments are identified and discussed in the paragraphs below.
9 2002 - An independent PRA peer review of the BVPS PRA models (BV1 REV3 and BV2REV3A) was conducted under the auspices of the Westinghouse Owners Group (WOG) in July 2002, following the guidance provided by the Nuclear Energy Institute in NEI 00-02, "Probabilistic Risk Assessment Peer Review Process Guidance,"
Revision A3, March 2000 (NEI 00-02).
- 2007 - Following the BVPS-1 PRA model revision in 2006 (BVI REV4) and the BVPS-2 PRA model revision in 2007 (BV2REV4) which incorporated necessary updates and changes to address F&Os from the 2002 peer review, a self-assessment of the BVPS PRA models was performed against the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Standard for Probabilistic Risk Assessment for Nuclear Power Plant Applications, (ASME-RA-S-2002, and addenda, hereafter referred to as the ASME PRA Standard) using NRC Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.200, Revision 1, January 2007, An Approach for Determining the Technical Adequacy of Probabilistic Risk Assessment Results for Risk Informed Activities.
o 2007 - As part of the resolution to several F&Os from the 2002 PRA peer review, a change in the Human Reliability Analysis (HRA) methodology was incorporated into the 2006 BVPS-1 and the 2007 BVPS-2 PRA model revisions, so a focused scope peer review of the HRA Technical Elements against the ASME PRA Standard was performed using RG 1.200, Revision 1.
- 2011 - Due to an upgrade of the internal flooding model following the revision of both BVPS PRA models in 2010 (BV1 REV5 and BV2REV5), a focused scope peer review of the Internal Flood PRA Technical Elements was performed against the applicable requirements of Part 3 of the ASME PRA standard as endorsed in RG 1.200, Revision 2.
Facts and Observations (F&Os) from the various reviews are assigned significance levels of A, B, C, D, or S for the 2002 peer review and 2007 self-assessment; or Finding, Suggestion, or Best Practice for the 2007 HRA peer review and the 2011 Internal Flooding peer review. The F&O significance levels are defined as follows.
2002 Peer Review
" A - Extremely important and necessary to address to assure the technical adequacy of the PRA or the quality of the PRA or the quality of the PRA update process
" B - Important and necessary to address, but may be deferred until the next PRA update Page 3 of 301
" C - Recommended, and considered desirable to maintain maximum flexibility in PRA Applications and consistency in the Industry, but not likely to significantly affect results or conclusions
" D - Editorial or Minor Technical Item, left to the discretion of the host utility
" S - Superior treatment, exceeding requirements for anticipated applications and exceeding what would be found in most PRAs 2007 Self-Assessment
- A and B level F&Os represent issues that have the potential to affect the risk results and/or risk insights. B level F&Os also represent documentation issues that are required to meet Capability Category I1. All A and B level F&Os need to be resolved to achieve Capability Category II or higher.
" C and D level F&Os are comments or suggestions to improve documentation or traceability of analyses, but do no impact the supporting requirement grades. A C level F&O may also provide a suggestion on an alternative approach to achieve an objective, but does not imply that the approach used is not sufficient to meet the supporting requirements at the stated grade.
- S level F&Os are considered to be superior and do not reflect any shortfall to a requirement.
2007 HRA Focused Peer Review and 2011 Internal Flooding Focused Peer Review
" Finding - Equivalent to the old A and B levels of significance
" Suggestion - In general, equivalent to the old C and D levels of significance
- Best Practice - Equivalent to the old Strength (S) level of significance The WOG conducted the Beaver Valley PRA model peer review following the NEI 00-02 process in July 2002. This peer review focused on the Unit 2 PRA model but also provided a cursory review of the Unit 1 PRA model and methodology. The Peer Review Team noted that Unit I uses the same PRA modeling techniques as Unit 2, so when the Unit 1 PRA revision is performed in the future using the same modeling assumptions as Unit 2 (including addressing applicable peer review comments) the Unit 1 PRA model and results should have the same level of confidence and applicability as those of Unit 2.
The significant findings (Category A and B F&Os) from the BVPS PRA peer review were incorporated into the 2003 BVPS-1 Revision 3 (BV1 REV3) and the 2003 BVPS-2 Revision 3B (BV2REV3B) PRA models respectively. A long term solution to one of the PRA peer review findings was to revise the human reliability analysis methodology from the success likelihood index methodology (SLIM) to the EPRI HRA Calculator. The BVPS HRA were revised using the EPRI HRA Calculator and the results were incorporated into the 2006 BVPS-1 Revision 4 (BV1 REV4) and 2007 BVPS-2 Revision 4 (BV2REV4) PRA models respectively. The Revision 4 PRA models included the Page 4 of 301
replacement steam generators for BVPS-1, and the atmospheric containment conversion and extended power uprate to 2900 MWt for both units.
Following the BVPS-1 PRA Model Revision 4 in 2006 and the BVPS-2 PRA Model Revision 4 in 2007, a self-assessment of the BVPS PRA models was conducted in 2007 with the assistance of Westinghouse. Once again this review focused on the BVPS-2 PRA model, but to the extent that the PRA modeling methodologies are equivalent this self-assessment was also applicable to the Unit 1 PRA. This self-assessment was performed to determine if there were any gaps present between the BVPS PRA models and meeting the Capability Category II Supporting Requirements (SR) in the 2005 version of the ASME PRA Standard Addendum B, as endorsed by RG 1.200, Revision 1.
The status of the A and B level F&Os from the 2002 BVPS peer review were also checked, and were found to be resolved when considering the change in methodology to the EPRI HRA Calculator and associated reports that document the HRA inputs and considerations.
In January 2008, Westinghouse provided the final summary report of the BVPS PRA models self-assessment to demonstrate compliance with the ASME PRA Standard and RG 1.200, Revision 1. A total of 73 F&Os were identified in this review, and this assessment provided a starting point for determining where enhancements to the model, sensitivity analyses, or evaluations outside the PRA may be needed for a given application of the PRA to adequately support the integrated decision-making process.
A focused scope peer review was conducted by Westinghouse in October 2007 on the upgraded BVPS HRA methodology (EPRI HRA Calculator) to determine compliance with Addendum B of the ASME PRA Standard and RG 1.200, Revision 1. Because the methodology is the same between Units and the basic analyses differ only in minor details, the review focused on the Unit 2 HRA Report but is also applicable to Unit 1.
Seven new F&Os were prepared to document the specific issues that were identified, all of which were classified as Findings.
In 2010 the BVPS-1 and BVPS-2 Revision 5 PRA models (BV1 REV5 and BV2REV5, respectively) resolved the identified PRA self-assessment F&Os and focused HRA peer review F&Os, with the exception of the 27 F&Os associated with internal flood which required an upgrade of the internal flooding model to comply with the ASME PRA Standard internal flooding methodology.
The BVPS-1 Revision 5 and the BVPS-2 Revision 5 internal flooding PRA models were upgraded to comply with the Capability Category II Supporting Requirements of the combined ASME/ANS PRA standard (RA-Sa-2009), as endorsed by RG 1.200, Revision 2. In June 2011, these upgraded BVPS PRA models underwent a focused PRA peer review on the Internal Flooding portion of the model, which superseded the previous 27 internal flooding F&Os from the 2007 self-assessment and resulted in 17 new F&Os.
The 17 internal flooding PRA F&Os were appropriately resolved in the interim 2013 BVPS-1 Revision 5a (BV1 REV5A) PRA model and the interim 2012 BVPS-2 Revision Page 5 of 301
5a (BV2REV5A) PRA model. These Revision 5a PRA models (documented as PRA-BV1-AL-R05a and PRA-BV2-AL-R05a, respectively) are the current effective reference models at BVPS.
The BVPS-1 Revision 5a PRA model (PRA-BV1-AL-R05a) and BVPS-2 Revision 5a PRA model (PRA-BV2-AL-R05a) have resolved all of the applicable F&Os identified in the 2002 BVPS PRA Peer Review, 2007 BVPS PRA Self-Assessment, 2007 BVPS HRA Focused Peer Review, and the 2011 BVPS Internal Flood PRA Focused Peer Review. These PRA models are considered to be fundamentally compliant with RG 1.200, Revision 1 for the scope of this application, meet Capability Category II or above in the ASME PRA Standard (RA-Sb-2005), and are capable of supporting all risk-informed applications requiring Capability Category I or II.
The Fire PRA model for BVPS-1 was based on the BVPS-1 Revision 5 PRA model, in which all previous F&Os except those related to internal flooding were resolved. Interim Issued Revision 5a PRA has already addressed all internal flooding F&Os. Final Fire PRA will be integrated into the updated working PRA model prior to the implementation of NFPA-805. The Fire PRA model for BVPS-2 was based on the BVPS-2 Revision 5a PRA model in which all F&Os, including those related to internal flooding, are resolved.
Furthermore, BVPS is currently working on a regular update of 5a internal events PRA models, and the final Fire PRA model will be integrated into the latest revision of the PRA models as they are rolled out.

specific estimates.
A more general type of priors is the industry data. The prior consists of three parts. The first and most important part is the failure and success data for a set of PWR power plants. The second part is the so-called grid, which consists of a set of values for the median (of the assumed prior curve), and a set of values for the range factor (of the assumed prior curve). The selection of median and range factor should be such that the resulting distribution should not skewed toward either end of the median or range factor in the grid (grid is the matrix of median and range factor values). The third part of a prior is the so-called lambdas, which is a set of values for the possible bin values that the distribution can locate. The Page 28 of 301
Table 1-1. Summary of BVPS-1 2002 Internal Events PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Resolutions F&O Supporting. Significance Status Fact & Observation BVPS-1 Final Resolution Impact to Fire ID Requirement 1 Level Closed PRA YIN lambdas do not affect the posterior mean distribution as long as has sufficient range and sufficient number of values (typically 20 bins are sufficient for a distribution). It should be pointed out that for the industrial data type of prior, updating it with zero failures typically results in a smaller mean value for the posterior then the prior.
However, the decrease is much smaller in magnitude than the moment matching approach, and it should be treated as a normal behavior of the Bayesian analysis (i.e., zero failures always provide information leading to a lower estimate).
In response to this observation, each posterior distribution that was Bayesian updated with zero failures was reexamined to assure that there was no skewing of results on the grid, and that there were no abnormally large values (excessive probabilities) in a single lambda bin. In some cases a few more lambdas were added to actually bring the probability per each lambda lower than 0.1. However, in Page 29 of 301
Table 1-1. Summary of BVPS-1 2002 Internal Events PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Resolutions F&O Supporting. Significance Status Fact & Observation BVPS-1 Final Resolution Impact to Fire ID Requirement' Level Closed PRA YIN these cases the posterior distribution changed little compared to the original set of lambdas (note, the grid was not changed in this response because these were checked in the original analysis and quality was assured). The results of the review did not identify any concerns, so confidence in the Bayesian update results using zero failures based on the discrete probabilistic distribution approach, which is a robust process, was maintained.
Based on the above discussion, no revision of the Unit 1 data are necessary in response to this observation.

Actual plant data from the Maintenance Rule for train unavailabilities have been utilized when possible to account for maintenance alignment asymmetries. Whenever no specific plant data was available it was assumed that the train alignments were symmetrical.
An example of this is with the Reactor Plant Component Cooling Water system, where each pump is equally assumed to be the running pump. The only exception to this was in the River Water system maintenance alignments, where due to the limitation on RISKMAN it was assumed that the A pump was always the running pump. These differences between the trains are addressed in the BV1 REV3 PRA model top events and by the split fraction rules in the event trees.

The point estimate value of 1.OE-02/demand used in the BVPS PRA models is taken from WCAP -11993 (Reference 1) and is conservative with respect to unavailabilities of a one signal train and the design criteria applied to AMSAC by the Westinghouse Owner's Group.
Additionally, the more recent WCAP-15831-P (Reference 14) also uses this point estimate value, as has other studies, as an appropriate value to use. A detailed fault tree would probably result in a lower AMSAC unavailability value, but this is not expected to have a significant impact on the core damage frequency, due to the already low significance of SSPS failures in non-ATWS sequences.

For example, consider a plant with 10 years of trip data; the first 5 years each have 5 trips/year; the last 5 years have 1 trip per year. This would result in an average of 3 events per year over a ten-year period. Now consider another plant where the two numbers are interchanged; it has 1 event per year for the first five years and 5 events per year for the next five years. The overall average is still 3 events per year. In both cases, there are definite trends; the first plant should actually use a frequency of 1 trip per year; the second plant should use 5 trips per year. In any case, neither plant should use 3 trips per year.

it is important to recognize and evaluate them because there may be specific PRA applications where their effects may have a significant influence on the results.
Furthermore, the documentation provided in Chapter 5 of the Quantification notebook makes a start at identifying the sources of model uncertainty. PWROG guidance suggests the number of identified sources of uncertainty typically is on the order of 50 items. it is also suggested the BVPS perform a more rigorous search to complete a fairly complete list of sources of uncertainty.

The reviewer also agrees that high level guidance is provided in the Systems Analysis Overview and Guidance notebook. However, it appears a link between the two documents is missing.
For example, the guidance states
'When identical, nondiverse, and active components are used to provide redundancy, they should be considered for assignment to common cause groups, one group for each identical redundant component". When the Systems notebook Appendix C is reviewed, the components contained in the CCF group is clearly identified, but there is no documentation that states that those components are "identical, and/or non-diverse" or used to provide redundancy.

As a final check of overall consistency, the HEPs from each group were then compared with those of other groups to determine if the differences in the HEPs were warranted by the differences in the scenarios and PSF ratings.
The BV1 REV4 PRA model revised the HRA methodology from the SLIM/FLIM process to the EPRI HRA Calculator. The HRA Calculator is a software program that is designed to implement consistency within the field of human action analysis by creating a standard methodology for quantification and documentation of HEPs in the context of the PRA. After this conversion was complete, the resulting HEP values were then compared to the previous BV1 REV3 SLIM/FLIM HRA model (see Table 3-4 of the HRA Notebook, Revision 1 drafted for BV1 REV4), to verify consistency in overall trends between events.

Response: Both the pre and post Maintenance Rule failure data were reviewed to the extent possible with the information available at the time to see if they met the requirements to be considered a PRA failure.
This PRA failure definition has remained unchanged throughout the PRA model updating process, and is not based solely on the Maintenance Rule definition, so it was unaffected by the implementation of the Maintenance Rule.

demands for several components is very high.
For example, there were 2331 DG demands. This means that each DG was started 89 times per year, which is almost 2 per week.
Response: The DG start demands (ZTDGSS) was revised to 440 in the BV2REV3B PRA model.
This value is based on the Maintenance Rule estimated OST starts (50) per DG (2) per 3 year period, during 13.2 year of operation, or about 16 starts per year for each DG. Using a two-stage Bayesian process with 0 failures in 440 demands resulted in a mean failure rate of 2.78E-03 per start, as opposed to the 8.42E-04 value used in the BV2REV3A PRA model.
- 3. The run time for the first hour for the DG's is 2331hr, which means each DG ran for one hour each time it was started.

Section 5.5 of the WCAP recommended several generic common cause failure data sources, one of which was NUREG/CR-5497 that was issued in October 1998, along with a CD-ROM disc for utilities to use in developing better common cause MGL parameter estimates.
This NUREG was also to be used in another Westinghouse project to develop a database consisting of a common set of realistic common cause failure events for use among the owners group member utilities.
During this project development it was noted that there were some major discrepancies in the classification of common cause failures between the published NUREG and the CD-ROM. As such, the NRC was to update the coding of their A L 4. 4.

Two exceptions to this were for the development of the battery (ZBBATR) and battery charger (ZBBCHR) failure to operate beta factors.
These beta factor parameter estimates were developed using the NUREG/CR-5497 corresponding maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) values.

LOCA initiators).
Updating a lognormal distribution with zero events in about 10 years does not change the mean in most cases (or there is a slight change in the third significant number).
The second class, which is a more general type of priors, is the industry data.
These priors consists of Page 188 of 301
Table 2-1. Summary of BVPS-2 2002 Internal Events PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Resolutions F&O Supporting. Significance Status Fact & Observation BVPS-2 Final Resolution Impact to Fire ID Requirement 1 Level Closed PRA IYIN I I three parts. The first and most important part is the failure and success data for a set of PWR power plants. The second part is the so-called grid, which consists of a set of values for the median (of the assumed prior curve), and a set of values for the range factor (of the assumed prior curve).
The selection of median and range factor should be such that the resulting distribution should not be skewed toward either end of the median or range factor in the grid (grid is the matrix of median and range factor values). The third part of a prior is the so-called lambdas, which is a set of values for the possible bin values that the distribution can locate.
The lambdas do not affect the posterior mean distribution as long as it has sufficient range and sufficient number of values (typically 20 bins are sufficient for a distribution). It should be pointed out that for the Page 189 of 301
Table 2-1. Summary of BVPS-2 2002 Internal Events PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Resolutions F&O Supporting. Significance Status Fact & Observation BVPS-2 Final Resolution Impact to Fire ID Requirement 1 Level Closed PRA I I YIN I_ I industrial data type of prior, updating it with zero failures typically results in a smaller mean value for the posterior then the prior. However, the decrease is much smaller in magnitude than the moment matching approach, and it should be treated as a normal behavior of the Bayesian analysis (i.e., zero failures always provide information leading to a lower estimate).
In response to this observation, each posterior distribution that was Bayesian updated with zero failures was reexamined to assure that there was no skewing of results on the grid, and that there were no abnormally large values (excessive probabilities) in a single lambda bin. In some cases a few more lambdas were added to actually bring the probability per each lambda lower than 0.1.
However, in these cases Page 190 of 301
Table 2-1. Summary of BVPS-2 2002 Internal Events PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Resolutions F&O Supporting. Significance Status Fact & Observation BVPS-2 Final Resolution Impact to Fire ID Requirement1 Level Closed PRA I Y/N I the posterior distribution changed little compared to the BV2REV3A original set of lambdas (note, the grid was not changed in this response because these were checked in the original analysis and quality was assured). The results of the review did not identify any concerns, so confidence in the Bayesian update results using zero failures based on the discrete probabilistic distribution approach, which is a robust process, was maintained.
For the BV2REV3B PRA model, since the success time changed from 11 critical years to 9.93 critical years in response to Corrective Action 02-09042-01 (to remove the first year of commercial operation), the posterior mean shifted slightly higher than the original BV2REV3A PRA model analysis.

Since this had limited internal sequences, a larger report was reviewed with the objective to see what SBO looked like. The SBO was not on this and in fact the first LOSP was very low on the list. Then a sequence report was reviewed looking at LOSP only. Sequence
- 57 was the first SBO sequence and #58 was the second SBO sequence. The only difference between these was in the containment tree. With this is was realized that the containment tree was splitting up
("fractionalizing") the LOSP sequences, as opposed to some other sequences (such as ELOCA) which had one path through the containment tree. It was now realized that in order to analyze the sequences in the same context as previously, there needed to be a run of the event trees where the extra details of the containment tree suppressed. The utility staff ran this and the results and insights were noticeably different than before.
The results of the top ten were significantly different. The ELOCA and VSLOCA stayed the same value but now are sequences 2 and 4 respectively. The number 1 sequence is now loss of instrument air.

The BV2REV3B PRA model was revised by removing the emergency boration (Top Event OA) human action dependency on prior ATWS human actions, which must be performed immediately; i.e., manual reactor trip (Top Event OT) and manual rod insertion (Top Event RI).
This involved editing the ATWS event tree split fraction logic rules for OAF by removing OT=F +
RI=F, as shown in Table 3.5-3 "ATWS Event Tree Logic Rules" of the Event Tree Analysis Notebook.
The basis for this change was derived from WCAP -

Furthermore, risk importance measures are grouped by BVPS system so asymmetries are negated when rating system importance.

Therefore, this concern was not incorporated into the BV2REV3B PRA model update. Another concern was that the LHSI fault tree always queried the opening of the pump mini-flow valves even though Page 203 of 301

To address this concern the BVPS-2 LHSI fluid flow model was reviewed for large LOCAs with and without the mini-flow value opened. It was concluded that the difference in flow delivered to the reactor vessel was less than 75 gpm if the mini-flow valve remained open.
Therefore, this was not determined to be a valid flow diversion path and was not incorporated into the BV2REV3B PRA model. Additionally, while including the mini-flow valve failure to open for large break LOCAs is not required, the Large break LOCA contribution to total CDF is less that 0.1 percent, so it was not considered to be vital to remove it from the BV2REV3A PRA model.

For example, consider a plant with 10 years of trip data; the first 5 years each have 5 trips/year; the last 5 years have 1 trip per year. This would result in an average of 3 events per year over a ten-year period. Now consider another plant where the two numbers are interchanged; it has 1 event per year for the first five years and 5 events per year for the next five years. The overall average is still 3 events per year. In both cases, there are definite trends; the first plant should actually use a frequency of 1 trip per year; the second plant should use 5 trips per year.

The WOG Rev 7 of other Westinghouse 3-loop PWRs was developed before the methodology of NUREG-1 829 was used. The lower order of magnitude difference for the initiator, VSX, is due to the difference of the amount of valves that are required.

While it is difficult to quantify the effects of such sources of uncertainty, it is important to recognize and evaluate them because there may be specific PRA applications where their effects may have a significant influence on the results.
QU-F4 requires that these sources of uncertainty be characterized regardless of the difficulty of the evaluation. By Beaver Valley's own admission (above), it is important to recognize and evaluate them because there may be specific PRA applications where their effects may have a significant influence on the results.
Furthermore, the documentation provided in Chapter 5 of the Quantification notebook makes a start at identifying the sources of model uncertainty. PWROG guidance suggests the number of identified sources of uncertainty typically is on the order of 50 items.
it is also suggested the BVPS perform a more rigorous search to complete a fairly complete list of sources of uncertainty.

The consequences of containment flooding have been addressed in BVPS-2 SAMG CA-5, "Containment Water Level and Volume," to determine when water levels are jeopardizing vital equipment and monitoring capabilities.
A review of Figures 1 & 2 and Table 6 of this document revels that no significant core damage mitigating equipment or instrumentation would be impacted, even if 3 RWST volumes are injected. There is an unlimited supply of makeup water via the Ohio River.
