Executive Summary Plant Hatch Units 1 and 2 have performed the Expedited Seismic Evaluation Process (ESEP) as an interim action in response to the NRC's 50.54(f) letter (Reference 1). The purpose was to demonstrate seismic margin through a review of a subset of the plant equipment that can be relied upon to protect the reactor core following beyond design basis seismic events. The ESEP was performed using the methodologies in the NRC-endorsed industry guidance in EPRI 3002000704, Seismic Evaluation Guidance: Augmented Approach for the Resolution of Fukushima Near-Term Task Force Recommendation 2.1 - Seismic (Reference 2). As a result of the ESEP, no modifications have been identified as necessary to meet ESEP acceptance criteria specified in Reference 2.

1 Purpose and Objective Following the accident at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant resulting from the March 11,2011, Great Tohoku Earthquake and subsequent tsunami, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) established a Near Term Task Force (NTTF) to conduct a systematic review ofNRC processes and regulations and to determine if the agency should make additional improvements to its regulatory system. The NTTF developed a set of recommendations intended to clarify and strengthen the regulatory framework for protection against natural phenomena.

The NTTF developed a set of recommendations intended to clarify and strengthen the regulatory framework for protection against natural phenomena.
Subsequently, the NRC issued a 50.54(f) letter on March 12, 2012 (Reference 1), requesting information to assure that these recommendations are addressed by all U.S. nuclear power plants. The 50.54(f) letter requests that licensees and holders of construction permits under 1 0 CFR Part 50 reevaluate the seismic hazards at their sites against present -day NRC requirements and guidance.
Subsequently, the NRC issued a 50.54(f) letter on March 12, 2012 (Reference 1), requesting information to assure that these recommendations are addressed by all U.S. nuclear power plants.
Depending on the comparison between the reevaluated seismic hazard and the current design basis, further risk assessment may be required.
The 50.54(f) letter requests that licensees and holders of construction permits under 10 CFR Part 50 reevaluate the seismic hazards at their sites against present-day NRC requirements and guidance. Depending on the comparison between the reevaluated seismic hazard and the current design basis, further risk assessment may be required. Assessment approaches acceptable to the staff include a seismic probabilistic risk assessment (SPRA) or a seismic margin assessment (SMA). Based upon the assessment results, the NRC staff will determine whether additional regulatory actions are necessary.

2 Brief Summary of the FLEX Seismic Implementation Strategies The Plant Hatch FLEX strategies for Reactor Core Cooling and Containment Function are summarized below. This summary is derived from the Plant Hatch Overall Integrated Plan (OIP) in Response to the March 12,2012, Commission Order EA-12-049 (Reference 3). During FLEX Phase 1, the primary strategy for reactor core cooling is to supply high quality water via reactor core isolation cooling (RCIC) with suction from the Condensate Storage Tank (CST). lfthe CST is depleted (in approximately 6-7 hours by analysis), suction will be taken from the torus. Reactor pressure is controlled using safety relief valves (SRVs) with DC control power and pneumatic pressure supplied by the station batteries and accumulators for each SRV. As torus temperature increases, operators reduce reactor pressure to 200-400 psig to provide margin to the heat capacity temperature limit curve. During FLEX Phase 2, reactor core cooling will continue to be maintained using RCIC. After depletion of the initial CST inventory and while RCIC is taking suction from the torus, the CST will be replenished using the portable FLEX pump and water from the Ultimate Heat Sink (Altamaha River). RCIC will continue to inject water from the torus until the torus level reaches the low level limit and suction must be re-aligned to the CST. The torus water level drops due to evaporation through the Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS), which is operated to maintain containment parameters below design limits and RCIC operating parameters within acceptable limits. Reactor pressure will continue to be controlled using the SRVs. The 125V DC batteries will provide power for more than 12 hours without recharging.
2       Brief Summary of the FLEX Seismic Implementation Strategies The Plant Hatch FLEX strategies for Reactor Core Cooling and Containment Function are summarized below. This summary is derived from the Plant Hatch Overall Integrated Plan (OIP) in Response to the March 12,2012, Commission Order EA-12-049 (Reference 3).
As shown in Figure 2-1 (Reference 3), the FLEX 600 VDC diesel generators will be connected at approximately 10-12 hours to power two 125/250 VDC Battery Chargers per division, RCIC Controls, and other loads necessary for event mitigation and monitoring.
During FLEX Phase 1, the primary strategy for reactor core cooling is to supply high quality water via reactor core isolation cooling (RCIC) with suction from the Condensate Storage Tank (CST). lfthe CST is depleted (in approximately 6-7 hours by analysis), suction will be taken from the torus. Reactor pressure is controlled using safety relief valves (SRVs) with DC control power and pneumatic pressure supplied by the station batteries and accumulators for each SRV.
During FLEX Phase 3, reactor core cooling can be maintained using installed plant equipment and on-site portable FLEX equipment.
As torus temperature increases, operators reduce reactor pressure to 200-400 psig to provide margin to the heat capacity temperature limit curve.
RCIC will be used to cool the core until reactor pressure is insufficient to drive the RCIC turbine, at which time the Phase 2 FLEX pump will be used to inject directly to the reactor using the RHRSW-RHR cross tie valves as shown in Figure 2-2 (Reference 3); this will be well after 72 hours per analysis . .MPR-4121 RevisionO 3
During FLEX Phase 2, reactor core cooling will continue to be maintained using RCIC. After depletion of the initial CST inventory and while RCIC is taking suction from the torus, the CST will be replenished using the portable FLEX pump and water from the Ultimate Heat Sink (Altamaha River). RCIC will continue to inject water from the torus until the torus level reaches the low level limit and suction must be re-aligned to the CST. The torus water level drops due to evaporation through the Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS), which is operated to maintain containment parameters below design limits and RCIC operating parameters within acceptable limits. Reactor pressure will continue to be controlled using the SRVs. The 125V DC batteries will provide power for more than 12 hours without recharging. As shown in Figure 2-1 (Reference 3), the FLEX 600 VDC diesel generators will be connected at approximately 10-12 hours to power two 125/250 VDC Battery Chargers per division, RCIC Controls, and other loads necessary for event mitigation and monitoring.

3       Equipment Selection Process and ESEL The selection of equipment for the Expedited Seismic Equipment List (ESEL) followed the guidelines ofEPRI 3002000704 (Reference 2). The ESELs for Units 1 and 2, presented in Attachments A and B, respectively, are based on SNCH106:..PR-001 and SNCH106-PR-002 (References 4 and 5).
3.1     EQUIPMENT SELECTION PROCESS AND ESEL The ESEL component selection followed the EPRI guidance outlined in Section 3.2 of Reference 2. The selection of equipment to be included on the ESEL was based on installed plant equipment credited in the FLEX strategies during Phase 1, 2, and 3 mitigation of a Beyond Design Basis External Event (BDBEE), as outlined in the Plant Hatch Overall Integrated Plan (OIP) in Response to the March 12,2012, Commission Order EA-12-049 (Reference 3). The OIP provides the Plant Hatch FLEX mitigation strategy and serves as the basis for equipment selected for the ESEP.
The Plant Hatch ESEL includes permanently installed plant equipment that could be relied upon to accomplish the core cooling and containment safety functions identified in Table 3-1 of Reference 2 in response to a beyond-design-basis earthquake. Per Reference 2, the ESEL does not include portable or pre-staged FLEX equipment (not permanently installed) or equipment that is used only for recovery strategies. The scope of equipment on the ESEL includes that required to support a single FLEX success path. Instrumentation monitoring requirements for core cooling and containment integrity functions are limited to those discussed in Reference 2.
In accordance with Reference 2, the following structures, systems, and components were excluded from the ESEL:
* Structures (e.g., reactor building and control building)
* Structures (e.g., reactor building and control building)
* Piping, cabling, conduit, HV AC, and their supports
* Piping, cabling, conduit, HVAC, and their supports

* Nuclear steam supply system components (e.g., reactor pressure vessel and internals) 3.1.1 ESEL Development The ESEL was developed by reviewing the Plant Hatch FLEX OIP (Reference 3) to determine the major equipment involved in the FLEX strategies.

: 3) to determine the major equipment involved in the FLEX strategies.
 
Plant drawings (e.g., Process and MPR-4121 RevisionO 6
Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) and electrical one-line diagrams) were reviewed to specify the boundaries of the flow paths used in the FLEX strategies and to identify other components needed to support operation of the systems credited in the FLEX strategies. Boundaries were established at an electrical or mechanical isolation device (e.g., isolation amplifier or valve) in branch circuits/branch lines off the defined strategy electrical or fluid flowpath. P&IDs were the primary reference documents used to identify mechanical components and instrumentation needed for FLEX. Once the flow paths were identified, specific components were selected using the guidance in Reference 2. Electrical components needed to support FLEX were identified using one-line diagrams and schematics. Based on this review, base list tables of components were developed for each of the methods credited with accomplishing key functions in the FLEX strategies.

The base list tables were then reviewed to determine which equipment should be included on the ESEL. Most of the equipment decisions were clearly outlined in the Reference 2 guidance; however, some judgments were necessary as discussed below.

3.1.2 Power Operated Valves Per the Reference 2 EPRI guidance, the ESEL does not need to include power-operated valves that are not required to change state as part of the FLEX mitigating strategies. However, Reference 2 also states, "In addition to the physical failure modes (load path and anchorage) of specific pieces of installed equipment, functional failure modes of electrical and mechanical portions of the installed Phase 1 equipment should be considered (e.g., RCIC)." Because relay chatter could cause a functional failure, the following criteria were used to determine whether specific power-operated valves should be included on the ESEL:

However, Reference 2 also states, "In addition to the physical failure modes (load path and anchorage) of specific pieces of installed equipment, functional failure modes of electrical and mechanical portions of the installed Phase 1 equipment should be considered (e.g., RCIC)." Because relay chatter could cause a functional failure, the following criteria were used to determine whether specific power-operated valves should be included on the ESEL:
* Power operated valves in the primary success path will be included on the ESEL if they need to remain energized during Phase 1 in order to maintain core cooling and containment integrity (e.g., certain DC-powered valves).
* Power operated valves in the primary success path will be included on the ESEL if they need to remain energized during Phase 1 in order to maintain core cooling and containment integrity (e.g., certain DC-powered valves).
* Power operated valves not required to change state as part of the FLEX mitigation strategies may be excluded from the ESEL if they would be de-energized by the event that causes the Extended Loss of all AC Power (ELAP) event.
* Power operated valves not required to change state as part of the FLEX mitigation strategies may be excluded from the ESEL if they would be de-energized by the event that causes the Extended Loss of all AC Power (ELAP) event.
* AC power-operated valves not required to change state as part of the Phase 1 FLEX mitigation strategies may be excluded from the ESEP if they are re-energized and operated during Phase 2 or 3 activities.
* AC power-operated valves not required to change state as part of the Phase 1 FLEX mitigation strategies may be excluded from the ESEP if they are re-energized and operated during Phase 2 or 3 activities.
3.1.3 Pull Boxes Pull boxes were deemed unnecessary to add to the ESELs as these components provide completely passive locations for pulling or installing cables. No breaks or connections in the cabling are included in pull boxes. Pull boxes were considered part of the conduit and cabling, which are excluded in accordance with Reference

3.1.4 Termination Cabinets Although termination cabinets and junction boxes provide a passive function similar to pull boxes, they were included on the ESEL to ensure industry knowledge on panel/anchorage failure vulnerabilities is addressed.
3.1.5 Critical Instrumentation Indicators Critical indicators and recorders are typically physically located on panels/cabinets and are included as separate components; however, seismic evaluation of the instrument indication may be included in the panel/cabinet seismic evaluation (rule-of-the-box).
3.1.6 Phase 2 and Phase 3 Piping Connections As noted in Section 3.2 ofReference 2, ''the scope of the ESEL is limited to installed plant equipment and FLEX equipment connections" and "the selection process for the ESEL should assume the FLEX strategies (modifications, equipment, procedures, etc.) have been implemented." Section 3.2 of Reference 2 also explains that "piping, cabling, conduit, HV AC, and their supports" are excluded from the ESEL scope. Therefore, piping and pipe supports associated with FLEX Phase 2 and Phase 3 connections are excluded from the scope of the ESEP evaluation. Except as described in Sections 3.1 and 3 .1.2 above, valves required to change position to establish/maintain FLEX Phase 2 and Phase 3 flow paths (i.e., active valves) are included in the ESEL.
3.1.71naccessible Valve Interlocks Some components have interlocks that could potentially inhibit valve operation during Phase 2 or 3 of FLEX. Reference 2 specifically allows exclusion of interlock failures from the ESEL if plant procedures provide instructions for manual operation to ensure performance of the required FLEX function. For valves that cannot be operated locally due to location in containment or high radiation areas, this statement is interpreted as allowing the interlocks in the control circuit to be bypassed to allow remote manual operation. Therefore, these interlocks are excluded in Phase 3.
3.2    JUSTIFICATION FOR USE OF EQUIPMENT THAT IS NOT THE PRIMARY MEANS FOR FLEX IMPLEMENTATION All components on the ESEL for Plant Hatch Units 1 and 2 are associated with the primary FLEX strategies. Therefore, since no alternate equipment is being used, no justification is needed.

Instrumentation Indicators Critical indicators and recorders are typically physically located on panels/cabinets and are included as separate components; however, seismic evaluation of the instrument indication may be included in the panel/cabinet seismic evaluation (rule-of-the-box).


====3.1.6 Phase====
5       Review Level Ground Motion (RLGM)
2 and Phase 3 Piping Connections As noted in Section 3.2 ofReference 2, ''the scope of the ESEL is limited to installed plant equipment and FLEX equipment connections" and "the selection process for the ESEL should assume the FLEX strategies (modifications, equipment, procedures, etc.) have been implemented." Section 3.2 of Reference 2 also explains that "piping, cabling, conduit, HV AC, and their supports" are excluded from the ESEL scope. Therefore, piping and pipe supports associated with FLEX Phase 2 and Phase 3 connections are excluded from the scope of the ESEP evaluation.
Section 4 of Reference 2 states that the ESEP may be performed using either the GMRS or a linearly scaled version of the SSE (DBE for Plant Hatch) that bounds the GMRS between 1 and 10 Hz. In many cases, scaling the SSE facilitates a more expedient evaluation by allowing use of existing SSE-based in-structure response spectra (ISRS) that are simply scaled by the same factor (Scenarios 2 and 3 in Figure 1-2 of Reference 2). However, for surface-mounted items (where ISRS estimates are not necessary), plants may decide to use the GMRS instead of the scaled SSE (Scenario 4 in Figure 1-2 ofReference 2).
Except as described in Sections 3.1 and 3 .1.2 above, valves required to change position to establish/maintain FLEX Phase 2 and Phase 3 flow paths (i.e., active valves) are included in the ESEL. 3.1.71naccessible Valve Interlocks Some components have interlocks that could potentially inhibit valve operation during Phase 2 or 3 of FLEX. Reference 2 specifically allows exclusion of interlock failures from the ESEL if plant procedures provide instructions for manual operation to ensure performance of the required FLEX function.
The Plant Hatch ESEP was performed using either the GMRS (for two surface-mounted items) or the RLGM used previously by the combined A-46/IPEEE Program at Plant Hatch as discussed below, which is consistent with the guidance in Reference 2.
For valves that cannot be operated locally due to location in containment or high radiation areas, this statement is interpreted as allowing the interlocks in the control circuit to be bypassed to allow remote manual operation.
Therefore, these interlocks are excluded in Phase 3. 3.2 JUSTIFICATION FOR USE OF EQUIPMENT THAT IS NOT THE PRIMARY MEANS FOR FLEX IMPLEMENTATION All components on the ESEL for Plant Hatch Units 1 and 2 are associated with the primary FLEX strategies.
Therefore, since no alternate equipment is being used, no justification is needed. MPR-4121 RevisionO 8

==5.1     DESCRIPTION==
OF        RLGM      SELECTED As discussed in Reference 7 and documented in the 1991 EPRI Report NP-721 7 (Reference 8), a full EPRI Seismic Margin Assessment (SMA) was previously performed for Plant Hatch Unit 1 as a trial BWR assessment of the EPRI SMA methodology. That SMA project included a soil failure evaluation and a full relay evaluation and was peer reviewed by several review panels.
As part of the Independent Plant Examination of External Events (IPEEE), a focused scope SMA and a full SQUG GIP relay review were performed for Plant Hatch Unit 2 (Reference 9). The Review Level Earthquake (RLE) for both of those SMAs was a median NUREG/CR-0098 type ground response spectrum anchored to 0.3g peak ground acceleration (PGA) as shown in Table 5-1 (Reference 7). As described in Reference 8, a soil-structure interaction analysis was performed and new ISRS were developed for the IPEEE RLE. For comparison purposes, Figure 5-1 includes the Hatch IPEEE RLE, the Hatch Unit 1 DBE, the Hatch Unit 2 DBE, and the Hatch GMRS. Above 1Hz, the Hatch Units 1 and 2 IPEEE RLE spectrum is at least two times or larger than the Hatch Unit 1 DBE and the Hatch Unit 2 DBE, and is about twice the HatchGMRS.
To facilitate an early start (prior to obtaining the GMRS) and timely completion of the ESEP, the IPEEE RLE was used as the ESEP review level ground motion (RLGM) for most of the equipment in Plant Hatch Units 1 and 2. Only the surface-mounted condensate storage tanks (CSTs), which did not require ISRS, were evaluated to the GMRS.

5.2     METHOD TO ESTIMATE IN-STRUCTURE RESPONSE SPECTRUM (ISRS)
TO ESTIMATE IN-STRUCTURE RESPONSE SPECTRUM (ISRS) For structure-mounted equipment, the ESEP used the IPEEE RLE in-structure response spectra (ISRS). As stated in Section 5.1, the IPEEE ISRS are based on ground motion equal to or larger than twice the Hatch Unit 1 and Hatch Unit 2 DBEs. MPR-4121 RevisionO 16 6 Seismic Margin Evaluation Approach The objective of the ESEP is to demonstrate that the ESEL items have sufficient seismic capacity to meet or exceed the seismic demand associated with the RLGM. Section 5 of Reference 2 provides guidance for characterizing the seismic capacity by determining a high confidence of low probability of failure (HCLPF) using either the Seismic Margin Assessment (SMA) methodology ofEPRI NP-6041-SL (Reference 1 0) or the fragility analysis methodology ofEPRI 1R-103959 (Reference 12). The Plant Hatch ESEP used the EPRINP-6041-SL SMA approach, consistent with the earlier combined A-46/IPEEE Program. The HCLPF capacity is based on the weakest or most seismically limiting attribute of the equipment (structural, anchorage, or functional).
For structure-mounted equipment, the ESEP used the IPEEE RLE in-structure response spectra (ISRS). As stated in Section 5.1, the IPEEE ISRS are based on ground motion equal to or larger than twice the Hatch Unit 1 and Hatch Unit 2 DBEs.
The HCLPF evaluation considers the dynamic response of the equipment, but the HCLPF value is expressed in terms of a peak ground acceleration (PGA) to provide a common point of reference relative to the RLGM. Per Reference 2, ESEL items have sufficient seismic capacity if the HCLPF capacity is equal to or greater than the RLGM PGA. 6.1

==SUMMARY==
==SUMMARY==
OF METHODOLOGIES USED Seismic Margin Assessments (SMAs) were performed for Plant Hatch Units 1 and 2 in the early 1990s and are documented in References 8 and 9. Those SMAs were performed as part of the combined A-46/IPEEE program at Plant Hatch and included many of the items on the ESEL. As part of the ESEP, the Seismic Review Team (SRT) evaluated each accessible item on the ESEL for seismic capacity, anchorage, and relay functionality (when a FLEX methodology relay was identified in the ESEL). (Inaccessible items are discussed in Section 7.1.) The ESEP walk.downs and evaluations were documented in Screening and Evaluation Work Sheets (SEWS), which include checklists that were developed from Appendix F of EPRI NP-6041-SL (Reference 10).

Those SMAs were performed as part of the combined A-46/IPEEE program at Plant Hatch and included many of the items on the ESEL. As part of the ESEP, the Seismic Review Team (SRT) evaluated each accessible item on the ESEL for seismic capacity, anchorage, and relay functionality (when a FLEX methodology relay was identified in the ESEL). (Inaccessible items are discussed in Section 7.1.) The ESEP walk.downs and evaluations were documented in Screening and Evaluation Work Sheets (SEWS), which include checklists that were developed from Appendix F of EPRI NP-6041-SL (Reference 10).
Selected team members also took the EPRI HCLPF course, which was developed for the ESEP implementation and is based on EPRI NP-6041-SL.

If the SRT has a reasonable basis for assuming that the group of components are similar and are similarly anchored, then it is only necessary to inspect one component out of this group. The "similarity-basis" should be developed before the walkdown during the seismic capability preparatory work (Step 3) by reference to drawings, calculations or specifications.

The "similarity-basis" should be developed before the walkdown during the seismic capability preparatory work (Step 3) by reference to drawings, calculations or specifications. The one component or each type which is selected should be thoroughly inspected which probably does mean de-energizing and opening cabinets or panels for this very limited sample.

This procedure for inspection should be repeated for each component class; although, during the actual walkdown the SRT may be inspecting several classes of components in parallel.
If serious exceptions to the drawings or questionable construction practices are found then the system or component class must be inspected in closer detail until the systematic deficiency is defined. The 100% "walk by" is to look for outliers, lack of similarity, anchorage which is different from that shown on drawings or prescribed in criteria for that component, potential Sf [Seismic Interaction 1] problems, situations that are at odds with the team members 'past experience, and any other areas of serious seismic concern. If any such concerns surface, then the limited sample size of one component of each type for thorough inspection will have to be increased.
The increase in sample size which should be inspected will depend upon the number of outliers and different anchorages, etc., which are observed.
It is up to the SRT to ultimately select the sample size since they are the ones who are responsible for the seismic adequacy of all elements which they screen from the margin review. Appendix D gives guidance for sampling selection. " 6.3.2 Application of Previous Walk down Information Many ESEL items were previously walked down during the Plant Hatch A-46/IPEEE program using an IPEEE RLE that was equal to or greater than twice the DBEs. Consistent with the guidance in References 2 and 10, the A-46/IPEEE documentation for some electrical items was used to eliminate the need for electrical bus outages and minimize the risk of tripping the plant by not opening some energized electrical equipment that had been opened during the A-46/ IPEEE program. Specifically, some ESEL items evaluated during the A-46/IPEEE program and shown to have a seismic capacity greater than or equal to the IPEEE RLE were evaluated but not opened to view anchorage.
The ESEP walkdowns were performed to confirm consistency of these items with their A-46/IPEEE condition and address seismic capacity questions that could be answered without opening the equipment.
Based on this information, which included documentation from the A-46/IPEEE SEWS, NTTF 2.3 seismic information, drawings, and calculations, the SRTs were able to evaluate the equipment capacity and anchorage without electrical bus outages or risk of tripping the plant by opening these items. Previous walkdown information was also used for evaluation of inaccessible equipment, as discussed in Section 7.1. 1 EPRI 3002000704 (Reference

6.3.3 Significant Walkdown Findings Consistent with guidance from Reference 10, no significant seismic issues were identified at Plant Hatch during the final ESEP seismic walkdowns.
During initial ESEP seismic walkdowns, one significant seismic issue was identified:
During initial ESEP seismic walkdowns, one significant seismic issue was identified:
* Anchorage for the nitrogen ambient vaporizer for each unit (1 T48-B004 and 2T48-B002) was degraded at the time of the initial walkdown and condition reports (CRs) were written to resolve the problem. These components were re-evaluated after repairs were made and the HCLPFs for the anchorages now meet or exceed the Hatch IPEEE RLE.

During the A-46/IPEEE combined program, these block walls were assessed for their structural adequacy to withstand the seismic loads resulting from the Hatch IPEEE RLE. 6.4 HCLPF CALCULATION PROCESS Consistent with the Reference 10 deterministic/SMA methodology, the Plant Hatch ESEP acceptance criteria were that the equipment's structural/functional capacity, anchorage capacity, and relay functional capacity (when required) exceeded the seismic demand of the Hatch IPEEE RLE. Therefore, when these criteria were met, the HCLPF was defmed as being at least as high as the IPEEE RLE (0.3 g PGA), and calculation of specific HCLPF values in excess of 0.3 g PGA was not warranted.

Seismic qualification test-based capacities were available for these specific relays in Plant Hatch documentation. For the twelve relays contained in four cabinets, capacity to demand evaluations were performed using the Plant Hatch relay seismic capacities and the IPEEE RLE ISRS scaled with the Reference 10 in-cabinet amplification factors. The four relays contained in the three MCCs were qualified during dynamic testing ofthe MCCs; therefore, the in-cabinet amplification was included within the testing.

This is consistent with the SMA methodology of not calculating an explicit HCLPF capacity if the criteria for functional capacity (e.g., EPRI NP-6041-SL Table 2-4) are met and instead providing results as meeting or exceeding the seismic input level selected as the RLGM.
 
* It is unknown whether anchorage is the controlling failure mode for items that were screened for their functional capacity because the functional capacity may or may not be higher than the anchorage capacity.

Specifically, on page D-1, "sampling is technically valid for identical or similar components if there is evidence that the components are manufactured and installed in a consistent manner .... In some instances access is severely limited by radioactive environments and limited sampling is the only practical method of conducting a walkdown." Much of the inaccessible/high dose equipment was previously evaluated during the A-46/IPEEE program. Although 6 of the 18 SRV accumulators on the ESEL were not previously evaluated for the Plant Hatch IPEEE RLE, sampling is a practical approach for concluding that they also have HCLPFs that meet or exceed the ESEP RLGM. Like the SRV accumulators, most of the SRVs were also evaluated during the A-46/IPEEE program, and were found to meet SMA criteria for the IPEEE RLE. The SRVs, however, have been replaced since the A-46/IPEEE, or they are scheduled to be replaced in the next refueling outage (RFO). The replacement valves should be at least as robust as the SRVs that were evaluated during the A-46/IPEEE program. Additionally, in accordance with Reference 10, Table 2-4, active valves screen out from further SMA evaluations at the five percent-damped peak spectral acceleration for the Hatch IPEEE RLE ( <0.8g). Therefore, additional ESEP walkdowns and the associated dose are not warranted.

Finally, there are three inaccessible/high dose devices related to the Unit 2 Drywell pneumatic system: two filters and one pressure control valve (PCV). Filters are passive devices and considered seismically rugged, as are typical PCV s. The Unit 1 pneumatic system filters and the PCV are in a Reactor Building diagonal (outside the drywell) and were walked down; no seismic issues were identified for these small passive devices. None of these devices merit a Drywell entry and the dose associated with performing walkdowns for the ESEP. 7.2 PLANNED WALKDOWN/EVALUATION SCHEDULE/CLOSE OUT Walkdowns have been completed for installed accessible items on the ESELs. Section 7.1 discusses the disposition for inaccessible items. ESEL items that have not been installed or for which FLEX modifications have not been completed as of the time of this report will be evaluated after installation or modification per the SMA methodology outlined in Reference

MPR-4121 RevisionO 23 8 ESEP Conclusions and Results 8.1 SUPPORTING INFORMATION Plant Hatch has performed the ESEP as in interim action in response to the NRC's 50.54(t) letter (Reference 1 ). It was performed using the methodologies in the NRC endorsed guidance in EPRI 3002000704 (Reference 2). The ESEP provides an important demonstration of seismic margin and expedites plant safety enhancements through evaluations and potential near-term modifications of plant equipment that can be relied upon to protect the reactor core following beyond design basis seismic events. The ESEP is part of the overall Plant Hatch response to NRC's 50.54(t) letter (Reference 1). On March 12,2014, NEI submitted to the NRC results of a study (Reference

The study concluded that specific seismic hazards show that there has not been an overall increase in seismic risk for the fleet ofU.S. plants based on the re-evaluated hazard. As such, the "current seismic design of operating reactors continues to provide a safety margin to withstand potential earthquakes exceeding the seismic design basis."

An assessment of the change in seismic risk for Plant Hatch was included in the fleet risk evaluation submitted in the March 12, 2014 NEI letter (Reference 13); therefore, the conclusions in the NRC's May 9letter (Reference  
MPR-4121                                                                                       23 RevisionO
: 14) also apply to Plant Hatch. In addition, the March 12, 2014 NEI letter (Reference  
 
: 13) provided an attached "Perspectives on the Seismic Capacity of Operating Plants," which (1) assessed a number of qualitative reasons why the design of SSCs inherently contain margin beyond their design level, (2) discussed industrial seismic experience databases of performance of industry facility components similar to nuclear SSCs, and (3) discussed earthquake experience at operating plants. The fleet of currently operating nuclear power plants was designed using conservative practices, such that the plants have significant margin to withstand large ground motions safely. This has been borne out for those plants that have actually experienced significant earthquakes.
8       ESEP Conclusions and Results 8.1     SUPPORTING INFORMATION Plant Hatch has performed the ESEP as in interim action in response to the NRC's 50.54(t) letter (Reference 1). It was performed using the methodologies in the NRC endorsed guidance in EPRI 3002000704 (Reference 2).
The seismic design process has inherent (and intentional) conservatisms which result in significant seismic margins within structures, systems and components (SSCs ). These conservatisms are reflected in several key aspects of the seismic design process, including:
The ESEP provides an important demonstration of seismic margin and expedites plant safety enhancements through evaluations and potential near-term modifications of plant equipment that can be relied upon to protect the reactor core following beyond design basis seismic events.
MPR-4121 RevisionO 24
The ESEP is part of the overall Plant Hatch response to NRC's 50.54(t) letter (Reference 1). On March 12,2014, NEI submitted to the NRC results of a study (Reference 13) of seismic core damage risk estimates based on updated seismic hazard information as it applies to operating nuclear reactors in the Central and Eastern United States (CEUS). The study concluded that site-specific seismic hazards show that there has not been an overall increase in seismic risk for the fleet ofU.S. plants based on the re-evaluated hazard. As such, the "current seismic design of operating reactors continues to provide a safety margin to withstand potential earthquakes exceeding the seismic design basis."
The NRC's May 9, 2014 NTIF 2.1 Screening and Prioritization letter (Reference 14) concluded that the "fleetwide seismic risk estimates are consistent with the approach and results used in the GI-199 safety/risk assessment." The letter also stated that "As a result, the staffhas confirmed that the conclusions reached in GI-199 safety/risk assessment remain valid and that the plants can continue to operate while additional evaluations are conducted."
An assessment of the change in seismic risk for Plant Hatch was included in the fleet risk evaluation submitted in the March 12, 2014 NEI letter (Reference 13); therefore, the conclusions in the NRC's May 9letter (Reference 14) also apply to Plant Hatch.
In addition, the March 12, 2014 NEI letter (Reference 13) provided an attached "Perspectives on the Seismic Capacity of Operating Plants," which (1) assessed a number of qualitative reasons why the design of SSCs inherently contain margin beyond their design level, (2) discussed industrial seismic experience databases of performance of industry facility components similar to nuclear SSCs, and (3) discussed earthquake experience at operating plants.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

On March 12, 2012, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued a request for information pursuant to 10 CFR 50.54(f) associated with the recommendations of the Fukushima Near-Term Task Force (NTTF) (Reference 1). Enclosure 1 of Reference 1 requested each licensee to reevaluate the seismic hazards at their sites using present-day NRC requirements and guidance, and to identify actions taken or planned to address plant-specific vulnerabilities associated with the updated seismic hazards.

The NRC endorsed the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Report, Seismic Evaluation Guidance: EPRI Guidance for the Resolution of Fukushima Near- Term Task Force Recommendation 2 . 1: Seismic, Draft Report, as an acceptable alternative to the information requested in Reference 1 by letter dated May 7, 2013 (Reference 3). In its endorsement, the NRC staff determined that the EPRI Guidance will provide an important demonstration of seismic margin and expedite plant safety enhancements through evaluations and potential near-term modifications of certain core and containment cooling equipment while more comprehensive plant seismic risk evaluations are performed. Reference 3 also provided NRC staff approval of the schedule modifications requested by

U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission NL-14-1989 Page2 Reference 2. Based on the modified schedule, Central and Eastern United States (CEUS) licensees are required to submit the reports resulting from the Expedited Seismic Evaluation Process (ESEP) by December 2014. Accordingly, the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant ESEP Report for Units 1 and 2 is provided in . A table of outstanding actions required for completion of the ESEP activities, with a schedule for completion of each, is provided in Enclosure 2.

This letter contains NRC commitments described in Enclosure 3. If you have any questions, please contact John Giddens at 205.992.7924.

Mr. C. R. Pierce states he is the Regulatory Affairs Director for Southern Nuclear Operating Company, is authorized to execute this oath on behalf of Southern Nuclear Operating Company and, to the best of his knowledge and belief, the facts set forth in this letter are true.

Executive Summary Plant Hatch Units 1 and 2 have performed the Expedited Seismic Evaluation Process (ESEP) as an interim action in response to the NRC's 50.54(f) letter (Reference 1). The purpose was to demonstrate seismic margin through a review of a subset of the plant equipment that can be relied upon to protect the reactor core following beyond design basis seismic events. The ESEP was performed using the methodologies in the NRC-endorsed industry guidance in EPRI 3002000704, Seismic Evaluation Guidance: Augmented Approach for the Resolution of Fukushima Near-Term Task Force Recommendation 2.1 - Seismic (Reference 2). As a result of the ESEP, no modifications have been identified as necessary to meet ESEP acceptance criteria specified in Reference 2.

MPR-4121 1 RevisionO

1 Purpose and Objective Following the accident at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant resulting from the March 11,2011, Great Tohoku Earthquake and subsequent tsunami, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) established a Near Term Task Force (NTTF) to conduct a systematic review ofNRC processes and regulations and to determine if the agency should make additional improvements to its regulatory system. The NTTF developed a set of recommendations intended to clarify and strengthen the regulatory framework for protection against natural phenomena.

Subsequently, the NRC issued a 50.54(f) letter on March 12, 2012 (Reference 1), requesting information to assure that these recommendations are addressed by all U.S. nuclear power plants.

The 50.54(f) letter requests that licensees and holders of construction permits under 10 CFR Part 50 reevaluate the seismic hazards at their sites against present-day NRC requirements and guidance. Depending on the comparison between the reevaluated seismic hazard and the current design basis, further risk assessment may be required. Assessment approaches acceptable to the staff include a seismic probabilistic risk assessment (SPRA) or a seismic margin assessment (SMA). Based upon the assessment results, the NRC staff will determine whether additional regulatory actions are necessary.

This report describes the Expedited Seismic Evaluation Process (ESEP) undertaken for Plant Hatch Units 1 and 2. The intent of the ESEP is to perform an interim action in response to the NRC's 50.54(f) letter (Reference 1) to demonstrate seismic margin through a review of a subset of the plant equipment that can be relied upon to protect the reactor core following beyond design basis seismic events.

The ESEP is implemented using the methodologies in the NRC-endorsed industry guidance in EPRI 3002000704, Seismic Evaluation Guidance: Augmented Approach for the Resolution of Fukushima Near-Term Task Force Recommendation 2.1- Seismic (Reference 2).

The objective of this report is to provide summary information describing the ESEP evaluations and results. The level of detail provided in the report is intended to enable NRC to understand the inputs used, the evaluations perfonned, and the decisions made as a result of the interim evaluations.

MPR-4121 2 RevisionO

2 Brief Summary of the FLEX Seismic Implementation Strategies The Plant Hatch FLEX strategies for Reactor Core Cooling and Containment Function are summarized below. This summary is derived from the Plant Hatch Overall Integrated Plan (OIP) in Response to the March 12,2012, Commission Order EA-12-049 (Reference 3).

During FLEX Phase 1, the primary strategy for reactor core cooling is to supply high quality water via reactor core isolation cooling (RCIC) with suction from the Condensate Storage Tank (CST). lfthe CST is depleted (in approximately 6-7 hours by analysis), suction will be taken from the torus. Reactor pressure is controlled using safety relief valves (SRVs) with DC control power and pneumatic pressure supplied by the station batteries and accumulators for each SRV.

As torus temperature increases, operators reduce reactor pressure to 200-400 psig to provide margin to the heat capacity temperature limit curve.

During FLEX Phase 2, reactor core cooling will continue to be maintained using RCIC. After depletion of the initial CST inventory and while RCIC is taking suction from the torus, the CST will be replenished using the portable FLEX pump and water from the Ultimate Heat Sink (Altamaha River). RCIC will continue to inject water from the torus until the torus level reaches the low level limit and suction must be re-aligned to the CST. The torus water level drops due to evaporation through the Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS), which is operated to maintain containment parameters below design limits and RCIC operating parameters within acceptable limits. Reactor pressure will continue to be controlled using the SRVs. The 125V DC batteries will provide power for more than 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> without recharging. As shown in Figure 2-1 (Reference 3), the FLEX 600 VDC diesel generators will be connected at approximately 10-12 hours to power two 125/250 VDC Battery Chargers per division, RCIC Controls, and other loads necessary for event mitigation and monitoring.

During FLEX Phase 3, reactor core cooling can be maintained using installed plant equipment and on-site portable FLEX equipment. RCIC will be used to cool the core until reactor pressure is insufficient to drive the RCIC turbine, at which time the Phase 2 FLEX pump will be used to inject directly to the reactor using the RHRSW-RHR cross tie valves as shown in Figure 2-2 (Reference 3); this will be well after 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> per analysis .

3 Equipment Selection Process and ESEL The selection of equipment for the Expedited Seismic Equipment List (ESEL) followed the guidelines ofEPRI 3002000704 (Reference 2). The ESELs for Units 1 and 2, presented in Attachments A and B, respectively, are based on SNCH106:..PR-001 and SNCH106-PR-002 (References 4 and 5).

3.1 EQUIPMENT SELECTION PROCESS AND ESEL The ESEL component selection followed the EPRI guidance outlined in Section 3.2 of Reference 2. The selection of equipment to be included on the ESEL was based on installed plant equipment credited in the FLEX strategies during Phase 1, 2, and 3 mitigation of a Beyond Design Basis External Event (BDBEE), as outlined in the Plant Hatch Overall Integrated Plan (OIP) in Response to the March 12,2012, Commission Order EA-12-049 (Reference 3). The OIP provides the Plant Hatch FLEX mitigation strategy and serves as the basis for equipment selected for the ESEP.

The Plant Hatch ESEL includes permanently installed plant equipment that could be relied upon to accomplish the core cooling and containment safety functions identified in Table 3-1 of Reference 2 in response to a beyond-design-basis earthquake. Per Reference 2, the ESEL does not include portable or pre-staged FLEX equipment (not permanently installed) or equipment that is used only for recovery strategies. The scope of equipment on the ESEL includes that required to support a single FLEX success path. Instrumentation monitoring requirements for core cooling and containment integrity functions are limited to those discussed in Reference 2.

In accordance with Reference 2, the following structures, systems, and components were excluded from the ESEL:

  • Structures (e.g., reactor building and control building)
  • Piping, cabling, conduit, HVAC, and their supports
  • Nuclear steam supply system components (e.g., reactor pressure vessel and internals) 3.1.1 ESEL Development The ESEL was developed by reviewing the Plant Hatch FLEX OIP (Reference 3) to determine the major equipment involved in the FLEX strategies. Plant drawings (e.g., Process and MPR-4121 6 RevisionO

Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) and electrical one-line diagrams) were reviewed to specify the boundaries of the flow paths used in the FLEX strategies and to identify other components needed to support operation of the systems credited in the FLEX strategies. Boundaries were established at an electrical or mechanical isolation device (e.g., isolation amplifier or valve) in branch circuits/branch lines off the defined strategy electrical or fluid flowpath. P&IDs were the primary reference documents used to identify mechanical components and instrumentation needed for FLEX. Once the flow paths were identified, specific components were selected using the guidance in Reference 2. Electrical components needed to support FLEX were identified using one-line diagrams and schematics. Based on this review, base list tables of components were developed for each of the methods credited with accomplishing key functions in the FLEX strategies.

The base list tables were then reviewed to determine which equipment should be included on the ESEL. Most of the equipment decisions were clearly outlined in the Reference 2 guidance; however, some judgments were necessary as discussed below.

3.1.2 Power Operated Valves Per the Reference 2 EPRI guidance, the ESEL does not need to include power-operated valves that are not required to change state as part of the FLEX mitigating strategies. However, Reference 2 also states, "In addition to the physical failure modes (load path and anchorage) of specific pieces of installed equipment, functional failure modes of electrical and mechanical portions of the installed Phase 1 equipment should be considered (e.g., RCIC)." Because relay chatter could cause a functional failure, the following criteria were used to determine whether specific power-operated valves should be included on the ESEL:

  • Power operated valves in the primary success path will be included on the ESEL if they need to remain energized during Phase 1 in order to maintain core cooling and containment integrity (e.g., certain DC-powered valves).
  • Power operated valves not required to change state as part of the FLEX mitigation strategies may be excluded from the ESEL if they would be de-energized by the event that causes the Extended Loss of all AC Power (ELAP) event.
  • AC power-operated valves not required to change state as part of the Phase 1 FLEX mitigation strategies may be excluded from the ESEP if they are re-energized and operated during Phase 2 or 3 activities.

3.1.3 Pull Boxes Pull boxes were deemed unnecessary to add to the ESELs as these components provide completely passive locations for pulling or installing cables. No breaks or connections in the cabling are included in pull boxes. Pull boxes were considered part of the conduit and cabling, which are excluded in accordance with Reference 2.

MPR-4121 7 RevisionO

3.1.4 Termination Cabinets Although termination cabinets and junction boxes provide a passive function similar to pull boxes, they were included on the ESEL to ensure industry knowledge on panel/anchorage failure vulnerabilities is addressed.

3.1.5 Critical Instrumentation Indicators Critical indicators and recorders are typically physically located on panels/cabinets and are included as separate components; however, seismic evaluation of the instrument indication may be included in the panel/cabinet seismic evaluation (rule-of-the-box).

3.1.6 Phase 2 and Phase 3 Piping Connections As noted in Section 3.2 ofReference 2, the scope of the ESEL is limited to installed plant equipment and FLEX equipment connections" and "the selection process for the ESEL should assume the FLEX strategies (modifications, equipment, procedures, etc.) have been implemented." Section 3.2 of Reference 2 also explains that "piping, cabling, conduit, HV AC, and their supports" are excluded from the ESEL scope. Therefore, piping and pipe supports associated with FLEX Phase 2 and Phase 3 connections are excluded from the scope of the ESEP evaluation. Except as described in Sections 3.1 and 3 .1.2 above, valves required to change position to establish/maintain FLEX Phase 2 and Phase 3 flow paths (i.e., active valves) are included in the ESEL.

3.1.71naccessible Valve Interlocks Some components have interlocks that could potentially inhibit valve operation during Phase 2 or 3 of FLEX. Reference 2 specifically allows exclusion of interlock failures from the ESEL if plant procedures provide instructions for manual operation to ensure performance of the required FLEX function. For valves that cannot be operated locally due to location in containment or high radiation areas, this statement is interpreted as allowing the interlocks in the control circuit to be bypassed to allow remote manual operation. Therefore, these interlocks are excluded in Phase 3.

3.2 JUSTIFICATION FOR USE OF EQUIPMENT THAT IS NOT THE PRIMARY MEANS FOR FLEX IMPLEMENTATION All components on the ESEL for Plant Hatch Units 1 and 2 are associated with the primary FLEX strategies. Therefore, since no alternate equipment is being used, no justification is needed.

5 Review Level Ground Motion (RLGM)

Section 4 of Reference 2 states that the ESEP may be performed using either the GMRS or a linearly scaled version of the SSE (DBE for Plant Hatch) that bounds the GMRS between 1 and 10 Hz. In many cases, scaling the SSE facilitates a more expedient evaluation by allowing use of existing SSE-based in-structure response spectra (ISRS) that are simply scaled by the same factor (Scenarios 2 and 3 in Figure 1-2 of Reference 2). However, for surface-mounted items (where ISRS estimates are not necessary), plants may decide to use the GMRS instead of the scaled SSE (Scenario 4 in Figure 1-2 ofReference 2).

The Plant Hatch ESEP was performed using either the GMRS (for two surface-mounted items) or the RLGM used previously by the combined A-46/IPEEE Program at Plant Hatch as discussed below, which is consistent with the guidance in Reference 2.

5.1 DESCRIPTION

OF RLGM SELECTED As discussed in Reference 7 and documented in the 1991 EPRI Report NP-721 7 (Reference 8), a full EPRI Seismic Margin Assessment (SMA) was previously performed for Plant Hatch Unit 1 as a trial BWR assessment of the EPRI SMA methodology. That SMA project included a soil failure evaluation and a full relay evaluation and was peer reviewed by several review panels.

As part of the Independent Plant Examination of External Events (IPEEE), a focused scope SMA and a full SQUG GIP relay review were performed for Plant Hatch Unit 2 (Reference 9). The Review Level Earthquake (RLE) for both of those SMAs was a median NUREG/CR-0098 type ground response spectrum anchored to 0.3g peak ground acceleration (PGA) as shown in Table 5-1 (Reference 7). As described in Reference 8, a soil-structure interaction analysis was performed and new ISRS were developed for the IPEEE RLE. For comparison purposes, Figure 5-1 includes the Hatch IPEEE RLE, the Hatch Unit 1 DBE, the Hatch Unit 2 DBE, and the Hatch GMRS. Above 1Hz, the Hatch Units 1 and 2 IPEEE RLE spectrum is at least two times or larger than the Hatch Unit 1 DBE and the Hatch Unit 2 DBE, and is about twice the HatchGMRS.

To facilitate an early start (prior to obtaining the GMRS) and timely completion of the ESEP, the IPEEE RLE was used as the ESEP review level ground motion (RLGM) for most of the equipment in Plant Hatch Units 1 and 2. Only the surface-mounted condensate storage tanks (CSTs), which did not require ISRS, were evaluated to the GMRS.

5.2 METHOD TO ESTIMATE IN-STRUCTURE RESPONSE SPECTRUM (ISRS)

For structure-mounted equipment, the ESEP used the IPEEE RLE in-structure response spectra (ISRS). As stated in Section 5.1, the IPEEE ISRS are based on ground motion equal to or larger than twice the Hatch Unit 1 and Hatch Unit 2 DBEs.

MPR-4121 16 RevisionO

6 Seismic Margin Evaluation Approach The objective of the ESEP is to demonstrate that the ESEL items have sufficient seismic capacity to meet or exceed the seismic demand associated with the RLGM. Section 5 of Reference 2 provides guidance for characterizing the seismic capacity by determining a high confidence of low probability of failure (HCLPF) using either the Seismic Margin Assessment (SMA) methodology ofEPRI NP-6041-SL (Reference 10) or the fragility analysis methodology ofEPRI 1R-103959 (Reference 12). The Plant Hatch ESEP used the EPRINP-6041-SL SMA approach, consistent with the earlier combined A-46/IPEEE Program.

The HCLPF capacity is based on the weakest or most seismically limiting attribute of the equipment (structural, anchorage, or functional). The HCLPF evaluation considers the dynamic response of the equipment, but the HCLPF value is expressed in terms of a peak ground acceleration (PGA) to provide a common point of reference relative to the RLGM. Per Reference 2, ESEL items have sufficient seismic capacity if the HCLPF capacity is equal to or greater than the RLGM PGA.

6.1

SUMMARY

OF METHODOLOGIES USED Seismic Margin Assessments (SMAs) were performed for Plant Hatch Units 1 and 2 in the early 1990s and are documented in References 8 and 9. Those SMAs were performed as part of the combined A-46/IPEEE program at Plant Hatch and included many of the items on the ESEL. As part of the ESEP, the Seismic Review Team (SRT) evaluated each accessible item on the ESEL for seismic capacity, anchorage, and relay functionality (when a FLEX methodology relay was identified in the ESEL). (Inaccessible items are discussed in Section 7.1.) The ESEP walk.downs and evaluations were documented in Screening and Evaluation Work Sheets (SEWS), which include checklists that were developed from Appendix F of EPRI NP-6041-SL (Reference 10).

Each member of the SRT was trained as a SQUG Seismic Capability Engineer in accordance with the Generic Implementation Procedure (GIP) and trained in the use ofEPRI NP-6041-SL.

Selected team members also took the EPRI HCLPF course, which was developed for the ESEP implementation and is based on EPRI NP-6041-SL.

6.2 HCLPF SCREENING PROCESS ESEL items were evaluated for the Hatch IPEEE RLE, which is a median NUREG/CR-0098 type ground response spectrum anchored to 0.3g PGA, as shown in Figure 5-1. The only exception to this approach was used for the CSTs, as described below. The 5 percent damped Peak Spectral Acceleration of the Hatch IPEEE RLE allowed the use of the first column (<0.8g PSA) ofReference 10 Table 2-4 "Summary ofEquipment and Subsystems Screening Criteria for Seismic Margin Evaluation" in establishing HCLPFs greater than or equal to the RLE for ESEL MPR-4121 17 RevisionO

items. Anchorage evaluations were performed using the in-structure response spectra developed for the A-46/IPEEE program's RLE (shown in Figure 5-1).

For the CSTs, the HCLPFs were established using the rigorous methodology of Reference 10 Appendix H "Flat-Bottom Vertical Fluid Storage Tanks" and additional information provided during the EPRI HCLPF course (Reference 11 ). The review level earthquake for the CST HCLPF evaluations was the GMRS.

6.3 SEISMIC WALKDOWN APPROACH 6.3.1 Walkdown Approach ESEP walkdowns were performed in accordance with the criteria provided in Section 5 of Reference 2, which refers to Reference 10 for the Seismic Margin Assessment process. Pages 2-26 through 2-30 ofReference 10 describe the seismic walkdown guidance, including the following key points.

"The SRT [Seismic Review Team] should "walk by" 100% ofall components which are reasonably accessible and in non-radioactive or low radioactive environments. Seismic capability assessment ofcomponents which are inaccessible, in high-radioactive environments, or possibly within contaminated containment, will have to rely more on alternate means such as photographic inspection, more reliance on seismic reanalysis, and possibly, smaller inspection teams and more hurried inspections. A 100% "walk by" does not mean complete inspection ofeach component, nor does it mean requiring an electrician or other technician to de-energize and open cabinets or panels for detailed inspection ofall components. This walkdown is not intended to be a QA or QC review or a review ofthe adequacy ofthe component at the SSE level.

If the SRT has a reasonable basis for assuming that the group ofcomponents are similar and are similarly anchored, then it is only necessary to inspect one component out ofthis group. The "similarity-basis" should be developed before the walkdown during the seismic capability preparatory work (Step 3) by reference to drawings, calculations or specifications. The one component or each type which is selected should be thoroughly inspected which probably does mean de-energizing and opening cabinets or panels for this very limited sample. Generally, a spare representative component can be found so as to enable the inspection to be performed while the plant is in operation. At least for the one component of each type which is selected, anchorage should be thoroughly inspected.

The walkdown procedure should be performed in an ad hoc manner. For each class ofcomponents the SRT should look closely at the first items and compare the field configurations with the construction drawings and/or specifications. Ifa one-to-one correspondence is found, then subsequent items do not have to be inspected in as great a detail. Ultimately the walkdown becomes a "walk by" ofthe component class as the SRT becomes MPR-4121 18 RevisionO

confident that the construction pattern is typical. This procedure for inspection should be repeated for each component class; although, during the actual walkdown the SRT may be inspecting several classes ofcomponents in parallel. Ifserious exceptions to the drawings or questionable construction practices are found then the system or component class must be inspected in closer detail until the systematic deficiency is defined.

The 100% "walk by" is to look for outliers, lack ofsimilarity, anchorage which is different from that shown on drawings or prescribed in criteria for that component, potential Sf [Seismic Interaction 1] problems, situations that are at odds with the team members 'past experience, and any other areas of serious seismic concern. Ifany such concerns surface, then the limited sample size of one component ofeach type for thorough inspection will have to be increased. The increase in sample size which should be inspected will depend upon the number ofoutliers and different anchorages, etc., which are observed. It is up to the SRT to ultimately select the sample size since they are the ones who are responsible for the seismic adequacy ofall elements which they screen from the margin review. Appendix D gives guidance for sampling selection. "

6.3.2 Application of Previous Walkdown Information Many ESEL items were previously walked down during the Plant Hatch A-46/IPEEE program using an IPEEE RLE that was equal to or greater than twice the DBEs. Consistent with the guidance in References 2 and 10, the A-46/IPEEE documentation for some electrical items was used to eliminate the need for electrical bus outages and minimize the risk of tripping the plant by not opening some energized electrical equipment that had been opened during the A-46/

IPEEE program.

Specifically, some ESEL items evaluated during the A-46/IPEEE program and shown to have a seismic capacity greater than or equal to the IPEEE RLE were evaluated but not opened to view anchorage. The ESEP walkdowns were performed to confirm consistency of these items with their A-46/IPEEE condition and address seismic capacity questions that could be answered without opening the equipment. Based on this information, which included documentation from the A-46/IPEEE SEWS, NTTF 2.3 seismic information, drawings, and calculations, the SRTs were able to evaluate the equipment capacity and anchorage without electrical bus outages or risk of tripping the plant by opening these items.

Previous walkdown information was also used for evaluation of inaccessible equipment, as discussed in Section 7.1.

1 EPRI 3002000704 (Reference 2) page 5-4 limits the ESEP seismic interaction reviews to "nearby block walls" and "piping attached to tanks" which are reviewed "to address the possibility of failures due to differential displacements." Other potential seismic interaction evaluations are "deferred to the full seismic risk evaluations performed in accordance with EPRI1025287 (Reference 6)."

MPR-4121 19 RevisionO

6.3.3 Significant Walkdown Findings Consistent with guidance from Reference 10, no significant seismic issues were identified at Plant Hatch during the final ESEP seismic walkdowns.

During initial ESEP seismic walkdowns, one significant seismic issue was identified:

  • Anchorage for the nitrogen ambient vaporizer for each unit (1 T48-B004 and 2T48-B002) was degraded at the time of the initial walkdown and condition reports (CRs) were written to resolve the problem. These components were re-evaluated after repairs were made and the HCLPFs for the anchorages now meet or exceed the Hatch IPEEE RLE.

Smaller issues identified during the initial walkdowns (e.g., corrosion on anchor bolts for the Unit 1 outside nitrogen storage tank (1 T48-A001)) were entered as condition reports, resolved, and then re-evaluated to confirm that the components have HCLPFs that meet or exceed the Hatch IPEEE RLE.

Some block walls were identified in the proximity ofESEL equipment. During the A-46/IPEEE combined program, these block walls were assessed for their structural adequacy to withstand the seismic loads resulting from the Hatch IPEEE RLE.

6.4 HCLPF CALCULATION PROCESS Consistent with the Reference 10 deterministic/SMA methodology, the Plant Hatch ESEP acceptance criteria were that the equipment's structural/functional capacity, anchorage capacity, and relay functional capacity (when required) exceeded the seismic demand of the Hatch IPEEE RLE. Therefore, when these criteria were met, the HCLPF was defmed as being at least as high as the IPEEE RLE (0.3 g PGA), and calculation of specific HCLPF values in excess of 0.3 g PGA was not warranted. Specific HCLPF values were calculated for the CSTs so that both the tank capacities (e.g., shell failure modes) and anchorage capacities (e.g., cast-in-place L-bolts and anchor chairs) could be evaluated using the CDFM methodology in Appendix H of Reference 10 and additional information provided during the EPRI HCLPF course (Reference 11 ). The CSTs were evaluated using the GMRS instead of the IPEEE RLE.

6.5 FUNCTIONAL EVALUATION OF RELAYS Relays in four cabinets and three motor control centers (total for both units) required functional evaluations. Each relay was evaluated using the SMA relay evaluation criteria in Section 3 of Reference 10.

Seismic qualification test-based capacities were available for these specific relays in Plant Hatch documentation. For the twelve relays contained in four cabinets, capacity to demand evaluations were performed using the Plant Hatch relay seismic capacities and the IPEEE RLE ISRS scaled with the Reference 10 in-cabinet amplification factors. The four relays contained in the three MCCs were qualified during dynamic testing ofthe MCCs; therefore, the in-cabinet amplification was included within the testing. In each case, the capacity exceeded the demand.

MPR-4121 20 RevisionO

The ESEP relay functional evaluations were documented in the SEWS packages for these four cabinets and three motor control centers.

6.6 TABULATED ESEL HCLPF VALUES (INCLUDING KEY FAILURE MODES)

Tabulated ESEL HCLPF values are provided in Attachment A for Unit 1 and in Attachment B for Unit 2. The following notes apply to the information in the tables.

  • Items which screened out of an explicit functional capacity analysis using EPRI NP-6041-SL (Reference 10) Table 2-4 have a HCLPF greater than or equal to the RLGM; therefore, the HCLPF is shown as "2:RLGM" in Tables A-1 and B-1. This is consistent with the SMA methodology of not calculating an explicit HCLPF capacity if the criteria for functional capacity (e.g., EPRI NP-6041-SL Table 2-4) are met and instead providing results as meeting or exceeding the seismic input level selected as the RLGM.
  • It is unknown whether anchorage is the controlling failure mode for items that were screened for their functional capacity because the functional capacity may or may not be higher than the anchorage capacity. The one exception to this is that large, flat-bottom vertical tanks (e.g., the Condensate Storage Tanks (CSTs)) were evaluated using a methodology that includes all failure modes (i.e., anchorage failure modes and tank shell failure modes). The HCLPF values for these tanks are reported in Tables A-1 and B-1.
  • Equipment containing FLEX Methodology ("FM") relays was assessed for relay functional capacity as described in Section 6.5 of this report. Because it is not known whether the capacity of the equipment containing the relay, the equipment's anchorage, or the relay's capacity is the controlling HCLPF, the HCLPF is shown as "2:RLGM" in Tables A-1 and B-1, and the Notes/Comments" column identifies the presence ofFM relay(s).

MPR-4121 21 RevisionO

7 Inaccessible Items 7.1 IDENTIFICATION OF ESEL ITEMS INACCESSIBLE FOR WALKDOWN The Plant Hatch ESELs contain about 70 items (total for both units) that are located in either the Drywells or Locked High Radiation Areas. In order to avoid dose (i.e., maintaining radiation exposure ALARA) and to reduce impact on refueling outages scheduled in 2015 and 2016, these ESEL items were evaluated to determine whether a walkdown was necessary. The inaccessible/high dose equipment includes the following classes:

  • Air-Operated Valves (SRVs)
  • Temperature Elements
  • Junction Boxes
  • Pneumatic System Filters and PCV (Unit 2 only)

Appendix D of Reference 10 provides information regarding "Sampling." Specifically, on page D-1, "sampling is technically valid for identical or similar components if there is evidence that the components are manufactured and installed in a consistent manner.... In some instances access is severely limited by radioactive environments and limited sampling is the only practical method of conducting a walkdown."

Much of the inaccessible/high dose equipment was previously evaluated during the A-46/IPEEE program. Although 6 of the 18 SRV accumulators on the ESEL were not previously evaluated for the Plant Hatch IPEEE RLE, sampling is a practical approach for concluding that they also have HCLPFs that meet or exceed the ESEP RLGM.

Like the SRV accumulators, most of the SRVs were also evaluated during the A-46/IPEEE program, and were found to meet SMA criteria for the IPEEE RLE. The SRVs, however, have been replaced since the A-46/IPEEE, or they are scheduled to be replaced in the next refueling outage (RFO). The replacement valves should be at least as robust as the SRVs that were evaluated during the A-46/IPEEE program. Additionally, in accordance with Reference 10, Table 2-4, active valves screen out from further SMA evaluations at the five percent-damped peak spectral acceleration for the Hatch IPEEE RLE (<0.8g). Therefore, additional ESEP walkdowns and the associated dose are not warranted.

A similar argument is made for the 8 MOVs (total for both units), where half of the MOVs were explicitly included in the A-46/IPEEE program. In accordance with Reference 10, Table 2-4, MPR-4121 22 RevisionO

active valves screen out from further SMA evaluations at the five percent-damped peak spectral acceleration for the Hatch IPEEE RLE (<0.8g). Therefore, additional ESEP walkdowns and the associated dose are not warranted.

The temperature elements in the Drywell are considered to be represented by the ten temperature elements that were walked down (total for both units), and no seismic issues were identified; therefore, the inaccessible temperature elements do not merit specific walkdowns.

Junction boxes were not part of the A-46/IPEEE program, but dozens have been walked down during the ESEP, and no seismic issues have been identified; therefore, junction boxes in the drywell do not merit walkdowns.

Finally, there are three inaccessible/high dose devices related to the Unit 2 Drywell pneumatic system: two filters and one pressure control valve (PCV). Filters are passive devices and considered seismically rugged, as are typical PCVs. The Unit 1 pneumatic system filters and the PCV are in a Reactor Building diagonal (outside the drywell) and were walked down; no seismic issues were identified for these small passive devices. None of these devices merit a Drywell entry and the dose associated with performing walkdowns for the ESEP.

7.2 PLANNED WALKDOWN/EVALUATION SCHEDULE/CLOSE OUT Walkdowns have been completed for installed accessible items on the ESELs. Section 7.1 discusses the disposition for inaccessible items. ESEL items that have not been installed or for which FLEX modifications have not been completed as of the time of this report will be evaluated after installation or modification per the SMA methodology outlined in Reference 10.

See Section 8.4 and Tables A-1 and B-1 for details.

MPR-4121 23 RevisionO

8 ESEP Conclusions and Results 8.1 SUPPORTING INFORMATION Plant Hatch has performed the ESEP as in interim action in response to the NRC's 50.54(t) letter (Reference 1). It was performed using the methodologies in the NRC endorsed guidance in EPRI 3002000704 (Reference 2).

The ESEP provides an important demonstration of seismic margin and expedites plant safety enhancements through evaluations and potential near-term modifications of plant equipment that can be relied upon to protect the reactor core following beyond design basis seismic events.

The ESEP is part of the overall Plant Hatch response to NRC's 50.54(t) letter (Reference 1). On March 12,2014, NEI submitted to the NRC results of a study (Reference 13) of seismic core damage risk estimates based on updated seismic hazard information as it applies to operating nuclear reactors in the Central and Eastern United States (CEUS). The study concluded that site-specific seismic hazards show that there has not been an overall increase in seismic risk for the fleet ofU.S. plants based on the re-evaluated hazard. As such, the "current seismic design of operating reactors continues to provide a safety margin to withstand potential earthquakes exceeding the seismic design basis."

The NRC's May 9, 2014 NTIF 2.1 Screening and Prioritization letter (Reference 14) concluded that the "fleetwide seismic risk estimates are consistent with the approach and results used in the GI-199 safety/risk assessment." The letter also stated that "As a result, the staffhas confirmed that the conclusions reached in GI-199 safety/risk assessment remain valid and that the plants can continue to operate while additional evaluations are conducted."

An assessment of the change in seismic risk for Plant Hatch was included in the fleet risk evaluation submitted in the March 12, 2014 NEI letter (Reference 13); therefore, the conclusions in the NRC's May 9letter (Reference 14) also apply to Plant Hatch.

In addition, the March 12, 2014 NEI letter (Reference 13) provided an attached "Perspectives on the Seismic Capacity of Operating Plants," which (1) assessed a number of qualitative reasons why the design of SSCs inherently contain margin beyond their design level, (2) discussed industrial seismic experience databases of performance of industry facility components similar to nuclear SSCs, and (3) discussed earthquake experience at operating plants.

The fleet of currently operating nuclear power plants was designed using conservative practices, such that the plants have significant margin to withstand large ground motions safely. This has been borne out for those plants that have actually experienced significant earthquakes. The seismic design process has inherent (and intentional) conservatisms which result in significant seismic margins within structures, systems and components (SSCs ). These conservatisms are reflected in several key aspects of the seismic design process, including:

MPR-4121 24 RevisionO

  • Safety factors applied in design calculations
  • Damping values used in dynamic analysis of SSCs
  • Bounding synthetic time histories for in-structure response spectra calculations
  • Broadening criteria for in-structure response spectra
  • Response spectra enveloping criteria typically used in SSC analysis and testing applications
  • Response spectra based frequency domain analysis rather than explicit time history based time domain analysis
  • Bounding requirements in codes and standards
  • Use ofminimum strength requirements of structural components (concrete and steel)
  • Bounding testing requirements, and
  • Ductile behavior of the primary materials (that is, not crediting the additional capacity of materials such as steel and reinforced concrete beyond the essentially elastic range, etc.).

These design practices combine to result in margins such that the SSCs will continue to fulfill their functions at ground motions well above the SSE.

8.2 IDENTIFICATION OF PLANNED MODIFICATIONS No modifications have been identified as necessary to meet ESEP acceptance criteria.

8.3 MODIFICATION IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE No modifications have been identified for the items that have been evaluated. SNC intends to comply with the ESEP schedule (Attachment 2 of Reference 15) for any modifications determined to be necessary for items to be walked down as identified in Sections 7.2 and 8.4.
