Report Details 4. Other Activities 4OA5 Other Activities (TI 2515/171)
The objective of Temporary Instruction (TI) 2515/171, "Verification of Site Specific Implementation of B.5.b Phase 2 & 3 Mitigating Strategies," is to verify that the commitments for implementing the Phase 2 and 3 strategies were completed by the licensee. The strategies for pressurized water reactors (PWRs), such as Indian Point Units 2 and 3, are listed in Table 1 of the TI. Inspection of all strategies listed in Table 1 was necessary to complete this TI. The team discussed the strategies with plant staff, reviewed documentation, and where appropriate, performed plant walk downs to verify that the strategies could be implemented as stated in the licensee's submittals and the NRC staff prepared Safety Evaluation Report (SER). For most strategies, this included verification that the strategy was feasible, procedures and/or guidance had been developed, training had been provided to plant staff, and required equipment had been identified and staged. Specific details of the team's inspection activities are described in the following sections.
 
1. .Program Reviews a. Inspection Scope Procedures: The team examined the station's established guidelines and implementing procedures for the B.5.b mitigation strategies. The team assessed how the licensee coordinated and documented the interface/transition between existing off-normal and Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs) with the newly developed mitigation strategies. The team selected a number of mitigation strategies and conducted plant walk downs with licensed operators and responsible plant staff to assess: the adequacy and completeness of the procedures; familiarity of operators with the procedure objectives and specific guidance; staging and compatibility of equipment; and the practicality of the operator actions prescribed by the procedures, consistent with the postulated scenarios. The team also examined the licensee's plans and guidance associated with coordination of expected Emergency Response Organization (ERO), fire brigade, and security guard force response coincident with implementation of the B.5.b mitigation strategies.
 
Engineering Basis (Evaluations and Flow Calculations): The team reviewed the licensee's supporting engineering evaluations and calculations prepared as the basis that the available pumps, piping, hoses, and nozzle configurations used in the various mitigation strategies will provide the minimum required pressures and flows specified by NEI 06-12, "B.5.b Phase 2&3 Submittal Guideline," Revision 2, dated December 2006.

The team discussed these calculations and evaluations with the responsible engineers, independently reviewed the adequacy of the calculations and engineering assumptions, and conducted field verifications to compare the assumed configurations with the as-found and postulated bounding configurations.
 
Equipment: The team evaluated the adequacy of installed and portable equipment staged explicitly for implementation of the mitigation strategies. The types of equipment examined included: interior fire water supply piping and hose stations; portable pump and associated suction and discharge hoses, adapters, and tools; supplies; portable radios and communications devices; and equipment lockers and associated tools. The team's review included field verification and inventory checks of standby and staged equipment, and compatibility of the portable equipment with installed systems. In addition, the team evaluated the staging/storage locations of B.5.b related equipment to ensure the survivability and availability of equipment, with respect to the proximity (>100 yards) to the postulated damage footprint. The team also reviewed and discussed with responsible station personnel the results of any field testing of equipment performed to validate its applications in the postulated scenarios.


In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records System (PARS) component of the NRC Agency-wide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room). However, because of the sensitive information contained in the enclosure, and in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, a copy of this letters enclosure will not be available for public inspection.
Modifications: No plant modifications were needed to support implementation of the B.5.b mitigation strategies at Indian Point. Adaptors were fabricated to support the makeup of the steam generators, makeup of the refueling water storage tank and flooding of the containment flooding strategies using the portable diesel powered pump.


Sincerely,
The team examined the fabricated adapters and hardware changes to ensure the adequacy of these changes to support the mitigation strategy, consistent with the licensee's submittals and SER.

Maintenance and Testing of Equipment: The team reviewed Indian Point procedures/programs for periodic maintenance and testing of the equipment specified for B.5.b applications to ensure continued reliability and minimum unavailability. The licensee had performed an initial test program to validate the performance of the diesel powered portable pump. This testing confirmed the pump performance curve supplied by the manufacturer. In addition the licensee established a periodic work task to perform an equipment inventory and surveillance of the B.5.b diesel pump every three months and a run test every six months.

OWIL 916- Spj~UY If T#D #lyýVAJ$ The team discussed these calculations and evaluations with the responsible engineers, independently reviewed the adequacy of the calculations and engineering assumptions, and conducted field verifications to compare the assumed configurations with the as-found and postulated bounding configurations.

Equipment: The team evaluated the adequacy of installed and portable equipment staged explicitly for implementation of the mitigation strategies. The types of equipment examined included: interior fire water supply piping and hose stations; portable pump and associated suction and discharge hoses, adapters, and tools; supplies; portable radios and communications devices; and equipment lockers and associated tools. The team's review included field verification and inventory checks of standby and staged equipment, and compatibility of the portable equipment with installed systems. In addition, the team evaluated the staging/storage locations of B.5.b related equipment to ensure the survivability and availability of equipment, with respect to the proximity (>100 yards) to the postulated damage footprint. The team also reviewed and discussed with responsible station personnel the results of any field testing of equipment performed to validate its applications in the postulated scenarios.

Modifications: No plant modifications were needed to support implementation of the B.5.b mitigation strategies at Indian Point. Adaptors were fabricated to support the makeup of the steam generators, makeup of the refueling water storage tank and flooding of the containment flooding strategies using the portable diesel powered pump.

The team examined the fabricated adapters and hardware changes to ensure the adequacy of these changes to support the mitigation strategy, consistent with the licensee's submittals and SER.

Maintenance and Testing of Equipment: The team reviewed Indian Point procedures/programs for periodic maintenance and testing of the equipment specified for B.5.b applications to ensure continued reliability and minimum unavailability. The licensee had performed an initial test program to validate the performance of the diesel powered portable pump. This testing confirmed the pump performance curve supplied by the manufacturer. In addition the licensee established a periodic work task to perform an equipment inventory and surveillance of the B.5.b diesel pump every three months and a run test every six months.

Training: The team examined the introductory and planned periodic/refresher training provided to the Operations, Maintenance and Security Department staffs most likely to be tasked with implementation of the B.5.b mitigation strategies. The team also reviewed the introductory and planned periodic training provided to the Emergency Response Organization (ERO) personnel. The team's review consisted of examination of training presentations, lecture notes, and training records, as well as, interviews with station personnel.
