Changes to Compliance Method Enclosure 1 to PLA-7632 Page 6of12 NRC Order EA-12-049 requires implementation of Mitigation Strategies to include procedures, guidance, training, and acquisition, staging,-or installing of equipment needed for the strategies. Reference 8.1 provided Susquehanna's response to the NRC Order EA-12-049. The cover letter identifies that delays in implementing the Hardened Containment Vent System as required by NRC Order EA-12-050 will affect implementation of the Mitigation Strategies NRC Order EA-12-049 actions. The Reference 8.1 enclosure describes Susquehanna's Mitigation Strategies that are based on venting the containment using the Hardened Containment Vent System. It also describes that a modification is required to install a Hardened Containment Vent System. Thus the Susquehanna response to NRC Order EA-12-049 provided in Reference 8 .1 was premised on installation and use of a Hardened Containment Vent System as required by NRC Order EA-12-050. Upon issuance ofNRC Order EA-13-109, the NRC staff changed technical and schedule requirements applicable to the Hardened Containment Vent System and rescinded the requirements of the NRC Order EA-12-050. As a result, full compliance to the Mitigation Strategies required by NRC Order EA-12-049 and described in Reference 8.1 for Susquehanna Units 1 and 2 will not be achieved until compliance with NRC Order EA-13-109 is achieved as described in Reference 8.8. This relaxation was granted in Reference 8.11. Unit 2 now has a fully functional Wetwell Hardened Containment Vent, so Unit 2 is now in full compliance with the NRC Order EA-12-049 (Reference 8.19). 5. Need for Relief/Relaxation and Basis for the Relief/Relaxation Susquehanna expects to comply with NRC Order EA-12-049, but needs relaxation of the implementation dates.

Introduction Susquehanna Nuclear, LLC (Susquehanna) developed an Overall Integrated Plan (Reference 8.1) documenting the diverse and flexible strategies (FLEX), in response to Reference 8.2. This Ninth Six-Month Status Report provides an update of milestone accomplishments since submittal of the Eighth Six-Month Status Report (Reference 8.18) related to the Overall Integrated Plan, including any changes to the compliance method, schedule, or need for relief/relaxation and the basis, if any. [NOTE: References cited in this enclosure are contained in Section 8.] 2. Milestone Accomplishments The following milestone(s) have been completed since the development of the Overall Integrated Plan (Reference 8.1), and are current as of July 28, 2017.

  • Completed installation of the Unit 2 Severe Accident Capable Hardened Containment Vent System (Phase 1 Wetwell Vent).
  • Started installation of the Unit 1 Severe Accident Capable Hardened Containment Vent System (Phase 1 Wetwell Vent). 3. Milestone Schedule Status The following table provides an update to Attachment 2, Milestone Schedule, of the Overall Ititegrated Plan. It provides the activity status of each item, and whether the expected completion date has changed. The dates are planning dates subject to change as design and implementation details are developed. The revised milestone target completion dates do not impact the Order implementation date at this time. The Interim Staff Evaluation (ISE) from the NRC (Reference 8.9) was received in time to support implementation of the Mitigation Strategies. The Open Item and Confirmatory Items identified in the ISE were addressed by the Regulatory Audit Process.

4. Changes to Compliance Method Enclosure 1 to PLA-7632 Page 6of12 NRC Order EA-12-049 requires implementation of Mitigation Strategies to include procedures, guidance, training, and acquisition, staging,-or installing of equipment needed for the strategies. Reference 8.1 provided Susquehanna's response to the NRC Order EA-12-049. The cover letter identifies that delays in implementing the Hardened Containment Vent System as required by NRC Order EA-12-050 will affect implementation of the Mitigation Strategies NRC Order EA-12-049 actions. The Reference 8.1 enclosure describes Susquehanna's Mitigation Strategies that are based on venting the containment using the Hardened Containment Vent System. It also describes that a modification is required to install a Hardened Containment Vent System. Thus the Susquehanna response to NRC Order EA-12-049 provided in Reference 8 .1 was premised on installation and use of a Hardened Containment Vent System as required by NRC Order EA-12-050. Upon issuance ofNRC Order EA-13-109, the NRC staff changed technical and schedule requirements applicable to the Hardened Containment Vent System and rescinded the requirements of the NRC Order EA-12-050. As a result, full compliance to the Mitigation Strategies required by NRC Order EA-12-049 and described in Reference 8.1 for Susquehanna Units 1 and 2 will not be achieved until compliance with NRC Order EA-13-109 is achieved as described in Reference 8.8. This relaxation was granted in Reference 8.11. Unit 2 now has a fully functional Wetwell Hardened Containment Vent, so Unit 2 is now in full compliance with the NRC Order EA-12-049 (Reference 8.19). 5. Need for Relief/Relaxation and Basis for the Relief/Relaxation Susquehanna expects to comply with NRC Order EA-12-049, but needs relaxation of the implementation dates. The specific details have been submitted in a separate document (Reference 8.8). NRC Order EA-12-049 requires implementation of Mitigation Strategies to include procedures, guidance, training, and acquisition, staging, or installing of equipment needed for the strategies. Reference 8.1 provided Susquehanna's response to the NRC Order EA-12-049. The cover letter identifies that delays in implementing the Hardened Containment Vent System as required by NRC Order EA-12-050 will also

Relaxation of the NRC Order EA-12-049 IV.A.2 requirements is required and has been requested (Reference 8.8). This relaxation was granted in Reference 8.11. Unit 2 now has a fully functional Wetwell Hardened Containment Vent, so Unit 2 is now in full compliance with the NRC Order EA-12-049 (Reference 8.19). 6.
