NRC letter, J.G. Giitter to M.A. Schimmel, Commitment to Submit a License Amendment Request to Transition to 10 CFR 50.48(c), National Fire Protection Association Standard NFPA 805, and Request to Extend Enforcement Discretion-Prairie lsland Nuclear Generating Plant, Units I and 2 (TAC NOS. ME6675 and ME6676), dated July 29,201 1, ADAMS Accession No. MLI 12010417 Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, the Northern States Power Company, a Minnesota Corporation (NSPM), doing business as Xcel Energy, hereby requests an amendment to the renewed operating license for the Prairie lsland Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP). The proposed license amendment request (LAR) requests Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approval for adoption of a new fire protection licensing basis which complies with the requirements in 10 CFR 50.48(a), 10 CFR 50.48(c), and the guidance in Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.205, Revision 1, "Risk-Informed, Performance Based Fire Protection for Existing Light-Water Nuclear Power Plants." This amendment request also follows the guidance in Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 04-02, Revision 2, Document Control Desk Page 2 "Guidance for Implementing a Risk-Informed, Performance-Based Fire Protection Program Under 10 CFR 50.48(c)." Upon approval, the PINGP fire protection program will transition to a new Risk- Informed, Performance-Based (RI-PB) alternative in accordance with 10 CFR 50.48(c), which incorporates by reference National Fire Protection Association Standard 805 (NFPA 805). The NFPA 805 fire protection program will supersede the current fire protection program licensing basis in accordance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix R. In a letter dated June 22, 201 1 (Reference I), NSPM committed to submit a LAR by September 30, 2012 for PINGP to transition to 10 CFR 50.48(c), and requested the continuation of enforcement discretion through the NFPA 805 LAR approval process. By letter dated July 29, 201 1 (Reference 2), the NRC acknowledged the application date for PINGP and provided enforcement discretion in accordance with the Interim Enforcement Policy concerning Enforcement Discretion for Certain Fire Protection Issues as published in the Federal Register on July 12, 201 1 (76 FR 40777). Submittal of this letter satisfies NSPM's commitment and supports continuation of enforcement discretion through the NFPA 805 LAR approval process. Enclosure 1 contains the PINGP Transition Report (TR) and its supporting attachments. The TR provides the required technical and regulatory assessments to enable NRC review and approval of the new licensing basis. The PINGP TR is based on Revision 1 L of the industry template developed by the NEI NFPA 805 Task Force and adopts the resolution of applicable Frequently Asked Questions. Per discussions with NRC staff on August 8, 2012, Attachment U of the enclosed TR provides DRAFT information regarding the internal flooding PRA peer review findings and observations. This information will be provided in final form with dispositions as discussed with the NRC staff and per the commitment below. The transition to the proposed new fire protection licensing basis includes the following high level activities: a new fire safe shutdown analysis, a new Fire Probabilistic Risk Analysis (PRA), and completion of activities required for transitioning the licensing basis to 10 CFR 50.48(c). A Fire PRA to support the RI-PB change evaluations per Regulatory Positions C.2.2 and C.4.3 of RG 1.205 has been completed. The PRA was developed in accordance with NUREGICR-6850 and EPRl TR-1011989 and is discussed in Enclosure I, Section 4.5. In accordance with the guidance in Regulatory Position C.2.2.4.2 of Regulatory Guide 1.205, Revision 1, NSPM has evaluated the total risk change associated with pre-transition fire protection program variances meeting the NFPA 805 performance- based approach (via the fire risk evaluation process). Further, upon completion of the plant modifications, as referenced in section 4.8.2 of the TR, the total change in risk associated with PINGP's transition to NFPA 805 will be consistent with the acceptance guidelines in Regulatory Guide 1 .I 74. | {{#Wiki_filter:Xcel EnergyB Prairie lsland Nuclear Generating Plant 171 7 Wakonade Drive East Welch, MN 55089 SEP 2 8 2042 L-PI-12-089 10 CFR 50.90 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATTN: Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555-0001 Prairie lsland Nuclear Generating Plant Units 1 and 2 Dockets 50-282 and 50-306 Renewed License Nos.

The licensing basis per 10 CFR 50.48(b) and 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, will be superseded. The voluntary adoption of 10 CFR 50.48(c) by PINGP does not eliminate the need to comply with 10 CFR 50.48(a) and 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, General Design Criteria (GDC) 3, Fire Protection. However, compliance with the new rule establishes compliance with these sections. By letter dated June 22, 2011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML111740866), NSPM committed to submit a license amendment request by September 30, 2012, for PINGP to transition to 10 CFR 50.48(c). The transition process consisted of a review and update of PINGP documentation, including the development of a Fire Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) using NUREG/CR 6850 as guidance.

The results of this review are summarized below: | ||
* Post fire manual operation of rising stem valves in the fire area of concern (NEI 00-01 Section 3.2.1.2) NSPM discovered that two rising stem valves, VC | * Post fire manual operation of rising stem valves in the fire area of concern (NEI 00-01 Section 3.2.1.2) NSPM discovered that two rising stem valves, VC 1 and 2VC 1, are required to be manually operated (recovery action) after the valves have potentially been exposed to a fire in Fire Area 58. The post-fire operation of these valves will be addressed in a revision to the PINGP manual action feasibility study as described in Attachment S, Table S-3.* Analysis of open circuits on a high voltage (e.g., 4.16 kV) ammeter current transformers (NEI 00-01 Section 3.5.2.1) NSPM identified PINGP current transformer circuits (CTs) that are susceptible to secondary fires should the secondary of the transformer develop an open circuit as a result of the fire. Disposition of these identified current transformers has been included as a modification in Attachment S, Table S-2.* Analysis of control power for switchgear with respect to breaker coordination (NEI 00-01 Section 3.5.2.4) DC control power required to maintain switchgear breaker coordination was analyzed for both credited power supplies and non-credited power supplies. The analysis included both the common power supply as well as the common enclosure aspects of the loss of control power. Several modifications have been PINGP Page 18 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements identified in Attachment S, Table S-2, to preclude coordination and protection concerns resulting from this fire-induced failure. 4.2.1.2 Safe and Stable Conditions for the Plant Overview of Process The nuclear safety goals, objectives and performance criteria of NFPA 805 allow more flexibility than the previous deterministic programs based on 10 CFR 50 Appendix R and NUREG 0800, Section 9.5-1 (and NEI 00-01, Chapter 3) since NFPA 805 only requires the licensee to maintain the fuel in a safe and stable condition rather than achieve and maintain cold shutdown. NFPA 805, Section 1.6.56, defines Safe and Stable Conditions as follows "For fuel in the reactor vessel, head on and tensioned, safe and stable conditions are defined as the ability to maintain Keff <0.99, with a reactor coolant temperature at or below the requirements for hot shutdown for a boiling water reactor and hot standby for a pressurized water reactor. For all other configurations, safe and stable conditions are defined as maintaining Keff <0.99 and fuel coolant temperature below boiling." The nuclear safety goal of NFPA 805 requires "...reasonable assurance that a fire during any operational mode and plant configuration will not prevent the plant from achieving and maintaining the fuel in a safe and stable condition" without a specific reference to a mission time or event coping duration. | ||
For the plant to be in a Safe and Stable condition, it may not be necessary to perform a transition to cold shutdown as currently required under 10 CFR 50, Appendix R. Therefore, the unit may remain at or below the temperature defined by a hot standby/hot shutdown plant operating state for the event. Results Demonstration of the Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria for safe and stable conditions was performed in two analyses. | For the plant to be in a Safe and Stable condition, it may not be necessary to perform a transition to cold shutdown as currently required under 10 CFR 50, Appendix R.

* The acceptance criteria for the Fire Risk Evaluation consist of two parts. One is quantitatively based and the other is qualitatively based. The quantitative figures of merit are CDF and LERF. The qualitative factors are defense-in-depth and safety margin. o Risk Acceptance Criteria. The transition risk evaluation was measured quantitatively for acceptability using the CDF and LERF criteria from RG 1.174, as clarified in RG 1.205 Regulatory Position 2.2.4. o Defense-in-Depth. A review of the impact of the change on defense-in-depth was performed, using the guidance from NEI 04-02. NFPA 805 defines defense-in-depth as: - Preventing fires from starting - Rapidly detecting fires and controlling and extinguishing promptly those fires that do occur, thereby limiting damage - Providing adequate level of fire protection for structures, systems and components important to safety; so that a fire that is not promptly extinguished will not prevent essential plant safety functions from being performed. In general, the defense-in-depth requirement was considered to be satisfied if the proposed change does not result in a substantial imbalance among these elements (or echelons). The review of defense-in-depth was qualitative and addressed each of the elements with respect to the proposed change. Defense-in-depth was performed on a fire area basis. Fire protection features and systems relied upon to ensure defense-in-depth were identified as a result of the assessment of defense-in-depth. o Safety Margin Assessment. A review of the impact of the change on safety margin was performed. An acceptable set of guidelines for making that assessment is summarized below. Other equivalent acceptance guidelines may also be used. - Codes and standards or their alternatives accepted for use by the NRC are met, and - Safety analysis acceptance criteria in the licensing basis (e.g., FSAR, supporting analyses) are met, or provides sufficient margin to account for analysis and data uncertainty.

These variances were dispositioned using the fire risk evaluation process. Each variance dispositioned using a Fire Risk Evaluation was assessed against the Fire Risk Evaluation acceptance criteria of CDF and LERF; and maintenance of defense-in-depth and safety margin criteria from Section 5.3.5 of NEI 04-02 and RG 1.205. The results of these calculations are summarized in Attachment C. Following completion of transition activities and planned modifications and program changes, the plant will be compliant with 10 CFR 50.48(c). Risk Change Due to NFPA 805 Transition In accordance with the guidance in RG 1.205, Section C.2.2.4, Risk Evaluations, risk increases or decreases for each fire area using Fire Risk Evaluations and the overall plant should be provided. Note that the risk increase due to the use of recovery actions was included in the risk change for transition for each fire area. RG 1.205, Section C.2.2.4.2 states in part "The total increase or decrease in risk associated with the implementation of NFPA 805 for the overall plant should be calculated by summing the risk increases and decreases for each fire area (including any risk increases resulting from previously approved recovery actions). The total risk increase should be consistent with the acceptance guidelines in Regulatory Guide 1.174. Note that the acceptance guidelines of Regulatory Guide 1.174 may require the total CDF, LERF, or both, to evaluate changes where the risk impact exceeds specific guidelines. If the additional risk associated with previously approved recovery actions is greater than the acceptance guidelines in Regulatory Guide 1.174, then the net change in total plant risk incurred by any proposed alternatives to the deterministic criteria in NFPA 805, Chapter 4 (other than the previously approved recovery actions), should be risk neutral or represent a risk decrease." The risk increases and decreases are provided in Attachment W. 4.6 Monitoring Program 4.6.1 Overview of NFPA 805 Requirements for the NFPA 805 Monitoring Program Section 2.6 of NFPA 805 states: "A monitoring program shall be established to ensure that the availability and reliability of the fire protection systems and features are maintained and to assess the performance of the fire protection program in meeting the performance criteria.

Attachment W contains the results of the Fire Risk Evaluations, additional risk of recovery actions, and the change in risk on a fire area basis. 4.8.2 Plant Modifications and Items to be Completed During the Implementation Phase Planned modifications, studies, and evaluations to comply with NFPA 805 are described in Attachment S. These actions were identified in PINGP Engineering Evaluation EC 19648, "Attachment S - Plant Modifications and Confirmatory Items." Table S-1 identifies that no plant modifications associated with the transition to NFPA 805 have been completed. Table S-2 summarizes plant modifications that are committed for implementation. Table S-3 provides a list of those items (e.g., procedure changes, process updates, and training of affected plant personnel) that will be completed prior to the implementation of the new NFPA 805 Fire Protection Program at PINGP. The Fire PRA model represents the as-built, as-operated and maintained plant as it will be configured at the completion of the transition to NFPA 805. The Fire PRA model includes credit for the planned implementation of the modifications listed in Attachment S. Following completion of the implementation items listed in Attachment S, such as further development of procedure changes and training, additional refinements may need to be incorporated into the Fire PRA based on industry initiatives. As of June 2012 when NSPM reviewed outstanding modifications for incorporation into the Fire PRA, no other significant plant changes are outstanding with respect to their inclusion in the Fire PRA model. Additional modifications discussed in Attachment S have no direct impact on the fire risk quantification results.

Other Required PINGP Page 55 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements Features may include Electrical Raceway Fire Barrier Systems, fire barriers, etc. The documentation of required fire protection systems and features does not include the documentation of the fire area boundaries. Fire area boundaries are required and documentation of the fire area boundaries has been performed as part of reviews of engineering evaluations, licensing actions, or as part of the reviews of the NEI 04-02 Table B-1 process. The basis for the requirement of the fire protection system / feature is designated as follows: o S - Separation Criteria: Systems/Features required for Chapter 4 Separation Criteria in Section 4.2.3. o E - EEEE Systems/Features required for acceptability of Existing Engineering Equivalency Evaluations (Section 2.2.7). o L - Licensing Action Criteria - Systems/Features required for acceptability of NRC approved Licensing Action (i.e., Exemptions) (Section 2.2.7). o R - Risk Criteria: Systems/Features required to meet the Risk Criteria for the Performance-Based Approach (Section 4.2.4). o D - Defense-in-depth Criteria: Systems/Features required to maintain adequate balance of Defense-in-Depth for a Performance-Based Approach (Section 4.2.4). Attachment W contains the results of the Fire Risk Evaluations, additional risk of recovery actions, and the change in risk on a fire area basis. 4.8.2 Plant Modifications and Items to be Completed During the Implementation Phase Planned modifications, studies, and evaluations to comply with NFPA 805 are described in Attachment S. These actions were identified in PINGP Engineering Evaluation EC 19648, "Attachment S - Plant Modifications and Confirmatory Items." Table S-1 identifies that no plant modifications associated with the transition to NFPA 805 have been completed. Table S-2 summarizes plant modifications that are committed for implementation. Table S-3 provides a list of those items (e.g., procedure changes, process updates, and training of affected plant personnel) that will be completed prior to the implementation of the new NFPA 805 Fire Protection Program at PINGP. The Fire PRA model represents the as-built, as-operated and maintained plant as it will be configured at the completion of the transition to NFPA 805. The Fire PRA model includes credit for the planned implementation of the modifications listed in Attachment S. Following completion of the implementation items listed in Attachment S, such as further development of procedure changes and training, additional refinements may need to be incorporated into the Fire PRA based on industry initiatives.

Northern States Power - Minnesota 5.0 Regulatory Evaluation 5.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION 5.1 Introduction - 10 CFR 50.48 On July 16, 2004 the NRC amended 10 CFR 50.48, Fire Protection, to add a new subsection, 10 CFR 50.48(c), which establishes alternative fire protection requirements. 10 CFR 50.48 endorses, with exceptions, NFPA 805, Performance-Based Standard for Fire Protection for Light Water Reactor Electric Generating Plants - 2001 Edition (NFPA 805), as a voluntary alternative for demonstrating compliance with 10 CFR 50.48 Section (b), Appendix R, and Section (f), Decommissioning. The voluntary adoption of 10 CFR 50.48(c) by PINGP does not eliminate the need to comply with 10 CFR 50.48(a) and 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, GDC 3, Fire Protection. The NRC addressed the overall adequacy of the regulations during the promulgation of 10 CFR 50.48(c) (Reference FR Notice 69 FR 33536 dated June 16, 2004, ML041340086). "NFPA 805 does not supersede the requirements of GDC 3, 10 CFR 50.48(a), or 10 CFR 50.48(f). Those regulatory requirements continue to apply to licensees that adopt NFPA 805. However, under NFPA 805, the means by which GDC 3 or 10 CFR 50.48(a) requirements may be met is different than under 10 CFR 50.48(b). Specifically, whereas GDC 3 refers to SSCs important to safety, NFPA 805 identifies fire protection systems and features required to meet the Chapter 1 performance criteria through the methodology in Chapter 4 of NFPA 805. Also, under NFPA 805, the 10 CFR 50.48(a)(2)(iii) requirement to limit fire damage to SSCs important to safety so that the capability to safely shut down the plant is ensured is satisfied by meeting the performance criteria in Section 1.5.1 of NFPA 805. The Section 1.5.1 criteria include provisions for ensuring that reactivity control, inventory and pressure control, decay heat removal, vital auxiliaries, and process monitoring are achieved and maintained. This methodology specifies a process to identify the fire protection systems and features required to achieve the nuclear safety performance criteria in Section 1.5 of NFPA 805. Once a determination has been made that a fire protection system or feature is required to achieve the performance criteria of Section 1.5, its design must meet any applicable requirements of NFPA 805, Chapter 3. Having identified the required fire protection systems and features, the licensee selects either a deterministic or performance-based approach to demonstrate that the performance criteria are satisfied. This process satisfies the GDC 3 requirement to design and locate SSCs important to safety to minimize the probability and effects of fires and explosions." (Reference FR Notice 69 FR 33536 dated June 16, 2004, ML041340086) The new rule provides actions that may be taken to establish compliance with 10 CFR 50.48(a), which requires each operating nuclear power plant to have a fire protection program plan that satisfies GDC 3, as well as specific requirements in that section. The transition process described in 10 CFR 50.48(c)(3)(ii) provides, in pertinent parts, that a licensee intending to adopt the new rule must, among other things, "modify the fire protection plan required by paragraph (a) of that section to reflect the licensee's decision to comply with NFPA 805." Therefore, to the extent that the PINGP Page 58 Northern States Power - Minnesota 5.0 Regulatory Evaluation contents of the existing fire protection program plan required by 10 CFR 50.48(a) are inconsistent with NFPA 805, the fire protection program plan must be modified to achieve compliance with the requirements in NFPA 805. All other requirements of 10 CFR 50.48 (a) and GDC 3 have corresponding requirements in NFPA 805. A comparison of the current requirements in Appendix R with the comparable requirements in Section 3 of NFPA 805 shows that the two sets of requirements are consistent in many respects. This was further clarified in FAQ 07-0032, 10 CFR 50.48(a) and GDC 3 clarification (ML081400292).

"The reactor facility shall be designed (1) to minimize the probability of events such as fires and explosions and (2) to minimize the potential effects of such events to safety.

Since the construction of the plant was significantly completed prior to the issuance of the February 20, 1971, 10CFR50, Appendix A General Design Criteria, the plant was not reanalyzed and the FSAR was not revised to reflect these later criteria. However, the AEC Safety Evaluation Report acknowledged that the AEC staff assessed the plant, as described in the FSAR, against the Appendix A design criteria and "... are satisfied that the plant design generally conforms to the intent of these criteria." | Since the construction of the plant was significantly completed prior to the issuance of the February 20, 1971, 10CFR50, Appendix A General Design Criteria, the plant was not reanalyzed and the FSAR was not revised to reflect these later criteria.

Fire stops are not provided at intermediate points in vertical or horizontal cable spans. Penetrations are sealed with packed thermal fiber or foam and covered with thermal board and approximately 1/8 in. coat of thermal mastic. Where the penetration is through a structure forming the boundary between ventilation zones, fire dampers have been installed except where determined unnecessary by evaluation. Conduit penetrations through walls, floors, and ceilings of the relay/cable spreading rooms are provided with fire stops."Per Section 2.5, "Most piping penetrations in walls and floors, in safety-related areas of the plant, are sealed. In those instances where seals are not provided, evaluations exist to justify conditions. The small area surrounding pipe is sealed with a qualified penetration seal, designed for the maximum fire severity on either side of the barrier, and to allow for thermal movement. In all cases, when new penetrations are sealed, the sealing material is noncombustible, or, as in the case of silicone foam, has been reviewed and found acceptable by the NRC."Per Enclosure 1 to Letter from Clark (NRC) to Mayer (NSP) dated 12/29/80, "The test slab containing the penetrations was placed on a horizontal furnace and exposed to the ASTM E119 time/temperature curve for 3-hours. The ASTM E119 time/temperature curve is the standard time/temperature curve used for fire endurance tests. After three hours the test slab was lifted in a horizontal position and subjected to a hose stream test.

For safe shutdown considerations, the direct power feed to a primary safe shutdown component is associated with the primary component. For example, the power feed to a pump is necessary to support the pump. Similarly, the power feed from the load center to an MCC supports the MCC. However, for cases where sufficient branch-circuit coordination is not provided, the same cables discussed above would also support the power supply. For example, the power feed to the pump discussed above would support the bus from which it is fed because, for the case of a common power source analysis, the concern is the loss of the upstream power source and not the connected load.

For example, the power feed to a pump is necessary to support the pump. Similarly, the power feed from the load center to an MCC supports the MCC. However, for cases where sufficient branch-circuit coordination is not provided, the same cables discussed above would also support the power supply. For example, the power feed to the pump discussed above would support the bus from which it is fed because, for the case of a common power source analysis, the concern is the loss of the upstream power source and not the connected load. Similarly, the cable feeding the MCC from the load center would also be necessary to support the load center.ApplicabilityApplicableCommentsAlignment StatementAlignsLoss of DC control power to NFPA 805 credited plant busses is incorporated in the NFPA-805 model and the impact of secondary fires and loss of power supply have been considered (common power supply, common enclosure).

- Common enclosureCables Whose Failure May Cause Spurious ActuationsSafe shutdown system spurious actuation concerns can result from fire damage to a cable whose failure could cause the spurious actuation/mal-operation of equipment whose operation could affect safe shutdown. These cables are identified in Section 3.3.3 together with the remaining safe shutdown cables required to support control and operation of the equipment.Common Power Source CablesThe concern for the common power source associated circuits is the loss of a safe shutdown power source due to inadequate breaker/fuse coordination. In the case of a fire-induced cable failure on a non-safe shutdown load circuit supplied from the safe shutdown power source, a lack of coordination between the upstream supply breaker/fuse feeding the safe shutdown power source and the load breaker/fuse supplying the non-safe shutdown faulted circuit can result in loss of the safe shutdown bus. This would result in the loss of power to the safe shutdown equipment supplied from that power source preventing the safe shutdown equipment from performing its required safe shutdown function. Identify these cables together with the remaining safe shutdown cables required to support control and operation of the equipment. Refer to Section 3.5.2.4 for an acceptable methodology for analyzing the impact of these cables on post-fire safe shutdown.Common Enclosure CablesThe concern with common enclosure associated circuits is fire damage to a cable whose failure could propagate to other safe shutdown cables in the same enclosure either because the circuit is not properly protected by an isolation device (breaker/fuse) such that a fire-induced fault could result in ignition along its length, or by the fire propagating along the cable and into an adjacent fire area. This fire spread to an adjacent fire area could impact safe shutdown equipment in that fire area, thereby resulting in a condition that exceeds the criteria and assumptions of this methodology (i.e., multiple fires).

For coordination to exist, the time-current curves for the breakers, fuses and/or protective relaying must demonstrate that a fault on the load circuits is isolated before tripping the upstream breaker that supplies the bus. Furthermore, the available short circuit current on the load circuit must be considered to ensure that coordination is demonstrated at the maximum fault level.The methodology for identifying potential associated circuits of a common power source and evaluating circuit coordination cases of associated circuits on a single circuit fault basis is as follows:- Identify the power sources required to supply power to safe shutdown equipment.- For each power source, identify the breaker/fuse ratings, types, trip settings and coordination characteristics for the incoming source breaker supplying the bus and the breakers/fuses feeding the loads supplied by the bus.- For each power source, demonstrate proper circuit coordination usingacceptable industry methods.- For power sources not properly coordinated, tabulate by fire area the routing of cables whose breaker/fuse is not properly coordinated with the supply breaker/fuse. Evaluate the potential for disabling power to the bus in each of the fire areas in which the associated circuit cables of concern are routed and the power source is required for safe shutdown.

One issue has been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Two recommendations are provided to consider augmenting detection actuation device coverage in Fire Area 25 (Diesel Generator 1) and in Fire Area 18 (Relay and Computer Room) pending the results of the Fire PRA. If the Fire PRA relies on the capabilities of the detection actuation devices for suppression system actuation, then additional actions will be required. An action request is tracking resolution of both issues. Additional actions are required in the Screenhouse (electric fire pump enclosure) to resolve the lack of a heat actuating device in the electric fire pump enclosure, and in the Annulus of each unit to address the Appendix A commitment to a preaction sprinkler system that is actuated by HADs in the Annulus of each unit. Action requests have been initiated to track resolution of the identified issues. EEEE Title FPEE-11-049, NFPA 80, 1968 Code Compliance Deviations Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of required fire doors in F5 Appendix K fire barriers for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 80 -1968, Standard for Fire Doors and Windows (Code of Record). Six deviations have been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Eight deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliance associated with use of gates, not doors in required fire barriers, insulation attached to the inside of a required door, access openings through three doors, four doors for which a fire rating could not be determined (two of which include transoms), the qualification of frames in fire door assemblies, transoms with penetrations above two rated doors, doors that would not close under airflow, and two sets of door combinations without positive latching. Each deviation is being tracked in the corrective action system. EEEE Title FPEE-11-053, NFPA 13, 1969 Code Compliance Deviations, Vent Filters (FA-2, 76) Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of the FA2 and FA76 Vent Filter deluge sprinkler systems protecting the Auxiliary Building Special Vents (121 and 122 ABSV) and Shield Building Exhaust Filters (11, 12, 21, and 22 SBEF) on the 755ft elevation of the Auxiliary Building, Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 11 for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 13 -1969, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems (Code of Record). | ||

EEEE Title FPEE-12-001, CA-01314253-01, VFD-63 & VFD-64 Summary The purpose of this evaluation is to assess VFD-63 and VFD-64, located on the 755ft elevation of the Auxiliary Building in Fire Area 2 and Fire Area 76, respectively. Exposure fires in Fire Area 8, Fire Area 2, and Fire Area 76 would not be expected to cause failure of the 6 inch diameter 14 gauge steel duct pipe between the fire damper in the 1ft x 2ft steel enclosure and G-wall. The duct pipes are securely attached with bolts to both sides of the steel enclosures. The construction of the steel enclosures and duct pipes, along with method of attachment, are capable of withstanding the impact of postulated exposure fires to which they could be exposed. Fire Area 8, Fire Area 2, and Fire Area 76 are in compliance with Appendix R since all required safe shutdown functions are available from the control room, with manual actions following C37.9 AOP1 and C37.9 AOP2 credited in Fire Area 2 to establish temporary Control Room and Relay Room HVAC. As such, fires in Fire Area 8, Fire Area 2, and Fire Area 76 that spread through G-wall due to failure of 6 inch diameter 14 gauge steel pipe between G-wall and VFD-63 and VFD-64 will not impact safe shutdown capability. EEEE Title FPEE-11-022, NFPA 90A, 1969, 1978 Code Compliance Deviations Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of HVAC systems and fire dampers for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 90A - 1969 and NFPA 90A - 1978, Standard for Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems (Codes of Record.) Two separate code editions are evaluated in this review based on the time period of initial ductwork and damper installations and subsequent modifications to include additional fire dampers as a result of the 1979 NRC Fire Protection Safety Evaluation Report, along with changes to incorporate additional criteria such as steam exclusion. One deviation has been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Four deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliance's associated with the criteria to shut down HVAC systems during the performance of hot work, the lack of fire dampers in specified horizontal and vertical fire barriers, and the location of two sets of fire dampers outside of the plane of the barrier. Action Requests have been initiated to track resolution of the identified issues. EEEE Title CA-01311057-01, Fire Doors 146/181 and 147/273 Summary The purpose of this evaluation is to assess two pairs of fire doors in series, Fire Doors 181/146 and 147/273. Each door in the series pairs has a 1-1/2hr fire rating, providing 3-hr fire rated protection for the barriers in which they are located. Each pair of doors in series is on opposite ends of an airlock. The door pairs are required for steam exclusion and High Energy Line Break (HELB), along with Appendix R, necessitating that the pair of doors can both open at the same time. As such, the doors are not provided with positive latching mechanisms. The doors swing into Fire Area 61A from Fire Area 2 and Fire Area 76. A fire in Fire Area 61A will not spread into Fire Area 2 or Fire Area 76 even though the doors are not provided with positive latching because any increase in pressure due to a fire in Fire Area 61A will push the doors back onto their door stops, preventing them from opening. Fire Area 61A is in compliance with Appendix R since all required safe shutdown functions are available from the control room. | Three deviations require additional actions to resolve noncompliance's associated with (a) testing of vent filter deluge system drains and flow switches, (b), lack of pressure gages on the systems, and (c) the configuration of drains for the vent filter deluge systems and which drains are used for flushing the system in SP 1197.

This evaluation also assesses the adequacy of the assemblies to provide adequate protection for the 3-hour barrier in which they are located. The bases for this conclusion include the following: Postulated fires north of Unit 1 Door 95 and Unit 2 Door 94 would not adversely impact on redundant safe shutdown capability in Fire Area 58 and Fire Area 73 based on approved exemption requests for lack of automatic suppression that rely on enclosing Division B safe shutdown cable in one hour rated fire barriers, enclosing Division A safe shutdown cable trays in the vicinity of MCCs and at specified coordinates in one hour rated fire barriers, low combustible loading, automatic detection, and fire brigade response. Postulated fire spread south through the unrated penetrations and 1/4-in checker steel plate from Fire Area 58 or Fire Area 73 to Fire Area 4 will not impact on safe shutdown capability since the only cables of concern for safe shutdown in the event of a fire in Fire Area 4 are 1CT-1, 16408-1, and 15407-3. These cables provide offsite power from the CT transformer to Bus 15 and Bus 16 and run from FA 4 to FA 58/73. The 1R transformer remains available to provide offsite power to Bus 15 and Bus 16 in these areas. Since these cables are also routed in Fire Areas 58 and 73, Doors 95 and 94 do not separate redundant trains of safe shutdown equipment. A minimum of 50% of the combustible loading is associated with Kerite cables in the overhead trays that pass through the unrated penetration seals in the 1/4-in checker steel plate. Kerite cable is of thermoset construction and will not result in a fire without an external fire source. Trash receptacle and transient combustible fires that also involve the racks of plastic rolls and material in the metal enclosed cabinets south of Unit 1 Door 95 or the 8.5% hydrogen cylinders south of Unit 2 Door 94 could generate enough energy to ignite the cables in the cable trays. Flame propagation along thermoset cables is about 3mm per second or 3-1/2ft per hour. Due to the swing of Unit 1 Door 95 and Unit 2 Door 94 into the corridor portions of Fire Area 4, the trash receptacle and transient combustible fire would be at least 4ft away from the unrated penetrations and 1/4-in checker steel plate, with a burn time of upwards of one hour required before a cable tray fire would impact on the barrier.

A fire in Fire Area 61A will not spread into Fire Area 2 or Fire Area 76 even though the doors are not provided with positive latching because any increase in pressure due to a fire in Fire Area 61A will push the doors back onto their door stops, preventing them from opening. Fire Area 61A is in compliance with Appendix R since all required safe shutdown functions are available from the control room. As such, fire spreading through the doors due to postulated fires in either Fire Area 2 or Fire Area 76 will not impact on fire safe shutdown capability. EEEE Title AR 1266236-01, Basis for the use of (2) 1 1/2 Hour Rated Fire Doors in a (3) Hour Fire Rated Barrier Summary The purpose of this evaluation is to address the adequacy of Class B (1.5 hour) fire doors in Appendix R-required fire barriers. This evaluation, through the use of a bounding condition, finds that the lesser-rated doors, where used in PINGP, are acceptable given the combustible loading and available suppression systems of the areas. EEEE Title FPEE-11-008, NFPA 13, 1980 Code Compliance Deviations, DM-7, Resin - Rad Waste Storage Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of the DM-7 manually-actuated sprinkler system protecting the Low Level Radwaste Enclosure in Fire Area 93 and the Truck Loading Enclosure in Fire Area 67 for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 13 -1980, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems (Code of Record). Two deviations have been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Four deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliance associated with the lack of isolation valve position verification and flow testing through the system drain, the use of sprinklers with different temperature ratings, the distance of sprinklers below the pitched roof and the position of deflectors in the Truck Loading Enclosure, and the manual mode of the closed head sprinkler system operation that could challenge the capability of the system to control a large fire, along with the misidentification of the system operating characteristics in program documents.

One deviation was identified to the code requirements. The existing deviation is acceptable as-is. Two deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliance associated with the quantities of CO2 required to achieve and maintain a 50% concentration for 15 minutes with sufficient gas for a second shot, taking into account the level indicator calibration tolerance. Action requests have been initiated to track resolution of the identified issues. EEEE Title FPEE-11-048, NFPA 72E, 1974, 1982, 1987 Plant Areas / Systems Not Addressed in FPP-5 R2 Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of automatic fire detectors not previously reviewed in FPP-5 R2, NFPA 72E Code Compliance Evaluation, dated April 21, 2004. One issue has been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Two recommendations are provided to consider augmenting detection actuation device coverage in Fire Area 25 (Diesel Generator 1) and in Fire Area 18 (Relay and Computer Room) pending the results of the Fire PRA. If the Fire PRA relies on the capabilities of the detection actuation devices for suppression system actuation, then additional actions will be required. An action request is tracking resolution of both issues. 6.4 Additional actions are required in the Screenhouse (electric fire pump enclosure) to resolve the lack of a heat actuating device in the electric fire pump enclosure, and in the Annulus of each unit to address the Appendix A commitment to a preaction sprinkler system that is actuated by HADs in the Annulus of each unit. Action requests have been initiated to track resolution of the identified issues. EEEE Title FPEE-11-049, NFPA 80, 1968 Code Compliance Deviations Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of required fire doors in F5 Appendix K fire barriers for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 80 -1968, Standard for Fire Doors and Windows (Code of Record). Six deviations have been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Eight deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliance associated with use of gates, not doors in required fire barriers, insulation attached to the inside of a required door, access openings through three doors, four doors for which a fire rating could not be determined (two of which include transoms), the qualification of frames in fire door assemblies, transoms with penetrations above two rated doors, doors that would not close under airflow, and two sets of door combinations without positive latching. Each deviation is being tracked in the corrective action system. EEEE Title FPEE-11-022, NFPA 90A, 1969, 1978 Code Compliance Deviations Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of HVAC systems and fire dampers for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 90A - 1969 and NFPA 90A - 1978, Standard for Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems (Codes of Record.) Two separate code editions are evaluated in this review based on the time period of initial ductwork and damper installations and subsequent modifications to include additional fire dampers as a result of the 1979 NRC Fire Protection Safety Evaluation Report, along with changes to incorporate additional criteria such as steam exclusion. One deviation has been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Four deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliances associated with the criteria to shut down HVAC systems during the performance of hot work, the lack of fire dampers in specified horizontal and vertical fire barriers, and the location of two sets of fire dampers outside of the plane of the barrier.

Two separate code editions are evaluated in this review based on the time period of initial ductwork and damper installations and subsequent modifications to include additional fire dampers as a result of the 1979 NRC Fire Protection Safety Evaluation Report, along with changes to incorporate additional criteria such as steam exclusion. One deviation has been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Four deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliances associated with the criteria to shut down HVAC systems during the performance of hot work, the lack of fire dampers in specified horizontal and vertical fire barriers, and the location of two sets of fire dampers outside of the plane of the barrier. Action Requests have been initiated to track resolution of the identified issues. EEEE Title FPEE-11-049, NFPA 80, 1968 Code Compliance Deviations Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of required fire doors in F5 Appendix K fire barriers for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 80 -1968, Standard for Fire Doors and Windows (Code of Record). Six deviations have been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Eight deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliance associated with use of gates, not doors in required fire barriers, insulation attached to the inside of a required door, access openings through three doors, four doors for which a fire rating could not be determined (two of which include transoms), the qualification of frames in fire door assemblies, transoms with Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 92 penetrations above two rated doors, doors that would not close under airflow, and two sets of door combinations without positive latching. Each deviation is being tracked in the corrective action system. Variances from Deterministic Requirements (VFDR) VFDR-020 01 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements is caused by fire damage to Bus 16 and cables that could affect operation of Bus 15. Fire could damage the 1RY bus duct that supplies offsite power to Bus 15 and Bus 16. Fire could also damage a cable affecting the CT 11 offsite power supply to Bus 15 and Bus 16. Fire damage could cause loss of remote control and spurious operation of BKR 15-3 (1RY Offsite Source to 4.16KV Bus 15) that prevents D1 from powering Bus 15. Local manual action is required in order to open BKR 15-3 so that Bus 15 can be repowered from the D1 Emergency Diesel Generator. Fire damage could prevent the Load Sequencer from automatically re-powering Bus 15. If RCP seal cooling is not restored within 15 minutes, seal leakage could increase. This condition represents a variance from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3 lack of separation between redundant trains of safeguards AC power.

Two separate code editions are evaluated in this review based on the time period of initial ductwork and damper installations and subsequent modifications to include additional fire dampers as a result of the 1979 NRC Fire Protection Safety Evaluation Report, along with changes to incorporate additional criteria such as steam exclusion. One deviation has been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Four deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliances associated with the criteria to shut down HVAC systems during the performance of hot work, the lack of fire dampers in specified horizontal and vertical fire barriers, and the location of two sets of fire dampers outside of the plane of the barrier.

This could fail the function of the cooling water strainers to automatically backwash on a high differential pressure (dp). Damage to control cable 1CB-374 affects components CV-31652, CV-31653, CV-31654, CV-31655, MTR-111C-21, MTR-111C-22, MTR-121C-21 and MTR-121C-22. | ||
Damage to cable 1CB-374 causes a loss of automatic backwash capability for all CL Strainers when the strainers are in the Normal Control Mode. Loss of automatic backwash capability for cooling water strainers MTR-111C-21 and 111C-22 can result in the loss of cooling water to the credited A Loop header. One strainer with automatic backwash capability is required per cooling water loop header. The A Loop header is credited to supply cooling water to the necessary Unit 1 and Unit 2 systems since the credited 12 CL pump supplies this header. The 12 Diesel Driven Cooling Water Pump (DDCLP) is isolated from the non-credited B Loop header from the Control Room. This condition would challenge the Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria for Vital Auxiliaries. | Damage to cable 1CB-374 causes a loss of automatic backwash capability for all CL Strainers when the strainers are in the Normal Control Mode.

This condition represents a variance from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3, due a lack of separation between redundant trains of cooling water strainers. Compliant Case: The ability to automatically backwash the cooling water strainers should remain unaffected by a fire. Disposition Recovery Action(s): An operator action is required to switch the 11 strainer from Normal Control mode to the Emergency Control mode (F5 App D). This action must be performed locally in the plant screenhouse, FA 41A (FDZ 75). This recovery action will prevent plugging of the strainer, and avoid loss of the CL system. | This condition represents a variance from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3, due a lack of separation between redundant trains of cooling water strainers.

Six deviations have been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Eight deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliance associated with use of gates, not doors in required fire barriers, insulation attached to the inside of a required door, access openings through three doors, four doors for which a fire rating could not be determined (two of which include transoms), the qualification of frames in fire door assemblies, transoms with penetrations above two rated doors, doors that would not close under airflow, and two sets of door combinations without positive latching. Each deviation is being tracked in the corrective action system. Variances from Deterministic Requirements (VFDR) VFDR-029 01 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements results in loss of automatic backwash to 11, 12, 21 and 22 Cooling Water (CL) Strainers, due to fire damage to cables. This could fail the function of the cooling water strainers to automatically backwash on a high differential pressure (dp). Damage to control cable 1CA-529 affects components CV-31654, CV-31655, MTR-111C-22, MTR-121C-22. Loss of the cooling water strainers MTR-121C-22 and MTR-111C-22 results in the loss of cooling water to the B Loop header. | ||
One strainer is required per cooling water loop header. The B loop header is credited to supply cooling water to the necessary systems since the ability to isolate the loop is available.

Based on the type of fire expected in these fire areas, the generation of smoke will exceed the generation of heat during the incipient stage of a fire. Therefore, the area smoke detection will provide the early warning of a fire. The heat detectors are not credited in the USAR by reference to F5 Appendix K, but will provide a secondary level of automatic detection. Based on the lack of credit given to the heat detectors, the requirements of NFPA 72E are not mandatory and the functional testing for the rate of rise function is adequate.

There are no significant fire hazards in FA 41 or 41B in the vicinity of the ventilation openings above doors 257 and 258. The redundant cooling water pumps and cables are also well separated from the ventilation openings. There is fire detection and an automatic fire suppression system on both sides of the openings. These defense-in depth features provide the justification that the ventilation openings above doors 257 and 258 are acceptable as is. EEEE Title CA-01311046-01, Fire Doors 257, 258, 259 & 260 Summary The purpose of this evaluation is to assess Doors 257, 258, 259 and 260, which do not have an identified fire rating. Doors 257 and 258 also have transoms above the doors that are not fire rated. The doors are in the boundaries between Fire Area 41 and Fire Area 41A on the 695ft elevation of the Screenhouse. Fire Area 41 is open to Fire Area 41B on the 670ft elevation. Fire Area 41A contains safe shutdown capabilities that are redundant to those in Fire Area 41B. Fire Doors 257 and 258, inclusive of the 14ga steel plate transoms, and Fire Doors 259 and 260 provide adequate protection to prevent fire spread that could adversely impact redundant safe shutdown capability. The bases for this conclusion include the following: Fire Doors 257, 258, 259, and 260 are of substantial construction, constructed by the same vendor that built many of the fire doors installed during original plant construction. The doors could be qualified as 1-1/2hr rated fire doors based on the referenced drawings. The transoms above Fire Doors 257 and 258 are 14ga plate steel, securely attached to the openings above the doors. While not fire rated, the transoms will resist the passage of flame, smoke and hot gases. Automatic detection and pre-action sprinklers are provided on both sides of the subject doors in Fire Areas 41A and 41. Automatic detection and pre-action sprinklers are provided throughout Fire Area 41A and Fire Area 41B, Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 187 which would control the size of postulated fires in the areas. The automatic detection systems provided throughout Fire Area 41B and Fire Area 41A, and on the south side of Fire Area 41, would also result in prompt fire brigade response. Fire brigade response would be effective in controlling and extinguishing postulated fires prior to the fire impacting on redundant fire safe shutdown capability.

These defense-in depth features provide the justification that the ventilation openings above doors 257 and 258 are acceptable as is. EEEE Title FPEE-11-041, NFPA 13, 1969 Code Compliance Deviations, PA-9 Screenhouse Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of the Pre-Action Sprinkler System in the Plant Screenhouse (referred to in this document as the Screenhouse) for compliance with the applicable requirements cited in National Fire Protection Association 13, (NFPA) -1969, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems (Code of Record). Eight deviations have been justified as "acceptable". An improvement has been recommended for one of these deviations. Two deviations will require modifications to the system. An action request has been written to add a sprinkler head under the large junction box over the Diesel Driven Fire Pump and to add sprinkler #229 which is shown on drawing XH-106-376 but was found to be missing during walkdowns. Variances from Deterministic Requirements (VFDR) VFDR-FA41B 02 This variance results from fire-induced damage could fail the function of the cooling water strainers to automatically backwash on a high differential pressure (dp). Damage affects components CV-31652 (11 Cooling Water Strainer Backwash CV), CV-31655 (22 Cooling Water Strainer Backwash CV), MTR-111C-21 (11 Cooling Water Strainer), and MTR-121C-22 (22 Cooling Water Strainer). This condition represents a variance from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3. This condition would challenge the Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria for Vital Auxiliaries. | ||

Postulated fire spread south through the unrated penetrations and 1/4-in checker steel plate from Fire Area 58 or Fire Area 73 to Fire Area 4 will not impact on safe shutdown capability since the only cables of concern for safe shutdown in the event of a fire in Fire Area 4 are 1CT-1, 16408-1, and 15407-3. These cables provide offsite power from the CT transformer to Bus 15 and Bus 16 and run from FA 4 to FA 58/73. The 1R transformer Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 203 remains available to provide offsite power to Bus 15 and Bus 16 in these areas. Since these cables are also routed in Fire Areas 58 and 73, Doors 95 and 94 do not separate redundant trains of safe shutdown equipment. A minimum of 50% of the combustible loading is associated with Kerite cables in the overhead trays that pass through the unrated penetration seals in the 1/4-in checker steel plate. Kerite cable is of thermoset construction and will not result in a fire without an external fire source. Trash receptacle and transient combustible fires that also involve the racks of plastic rolls and material in the metal enclosed cabinets south of Unit 1 Door 95 or the 8.5% hydrogen cylinders south of Unit 2 Door 94 could generate enough energy to ignite the cables in the cable trays. Flame propagation along thermoset cables is about 3mm per second or 3-1/2ft per hour. Due to the swing of Unit 1 Door 95 and Unit 2 Door 94 into the corridor portions of Fire Area 4, the trash receptacle and transient combustible fire would be at least 4ft away from the unrated penetrations and 1/4-in checker steel plate, with a burn time of upwards of one hour required before a cable tray fire would impact on the barrier. Automatic detection in the corridors on both sides of Unit 1 Door 95 and Unit 2 Door 94 would actuate early in the fire. Detection alarms would result in prompt response by the fire brigade. Hose stations are available on both sides of Unit 1 Door 95 and Unit 2 Door 94 for fire fighting purposes. Fire brigade response would be effective in controlling and extinguishing postulated fires prior to the fire spreading through the unrated penetrations and impacting on fire safe shutdown capability on the north sides of Unit 1 Door 95 and Unit 2 Door 94. The main open area of Fire Area 4 extends up to the 755ft elevation. The minimal continuity of intervening combustibles (although some combustible materials may be present in the intervening space) combined with the open area above the location of combustible materials in this location effectively ensures that a fire in one corridor of Fire Area 4 will not spread across the open area and back into the opposite corridor. As such, a fire in one corridor in Fire Area 4 will not result in a simultaneous fire in the opposite corridor, and the unsealed penetrations and 1/4-in checker steel plates above Unit 1 Door 95 and Unit 2 Door 94 will not be challenged by the same fire simultaneously.

As such, a fire in one corridor in Fire Area 4 will not result in a simultaneous fire in the opposite corridor, and the unsealed penetrations and 1/4-in checker steel plates above Unit 1 Door 95 and Unit 2 Door 94 will not be challenged by the same fire simultaneously. Variances from Deterministic Requirements (VFDR) VFDR-058 01 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements (VFDR) results in loss of automatic backwash to 11, 12, 21 and 22 Cooling Water (CL) Strainers, due to fire damage to cable 1CA-538. This could fail the function of the cooling water strainers to automatically backwash on a high differential pressure (dp). | ||
Loss of automatic backwash capability for cooling water strainers MTR-121C-21 and MTR-121C-22 can result in the loss of cooling water to the credited B Loop header.

The B Loop header is credited to supply cooling water to the necessary Unit 1 and Unit 2 systems since the credited 22 CL pump supplies this header. The 12 CL pump is isolated from the non-credited B Loop header from the Control Room. | Loss of automatic backwash capability for cooling water strainers MTR-121C-21 and MTR-121C-22 can result in the loss of cooling water to the credited B Loop header.

Bldg, Fire Areas 59 and 74 Summary The purpose of this evaluation is to address the adequacy of the fire area boundary between Aux Bldg Fire Areas 59 (U1) and 74 (U2), and Annulus Fire Areas 68 (U1) and 72 (U2), specifically the adequacy of the separation provided at penetration cabinets 1134 and 1136 in Fire Area 59 and penetration cabinets 2134 and 2136 in Fire Area 74. Power and control cables associated with RCS Vent System valves (credited for RCS pressure reduction during the transition from hot standby to cold shutdown), as well as those for the PZR PORVs and their block valves (a third letdown path and a high-low pressure interface) are routed in the general Aux Building area, and inside the penetration cabinets. Although the cabinet design is not a tested configuration, the cabinet suppression system, fire detection system, negligible in-situ combustibles in the area and spatial separation provides adequate protection to withstand the hazards associated with these fire areas. The combination of all these measures provides adequate assurance that unwrapped penetration cabinets, although not a rated fire design, will provide adequate protection and the ability to achieve safe shutdown will not be adversely affected. The existing fire area boundary penetration cabinet design provides adequate fire protection from a fire outside the cabinets, and would prevent a fire inside the cabinet becoming an exposure fire. EEEE Title FPEE-11-022, NFPA 90A, 1969, 1978 Code Compliance Deviations Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of HVAC systems and fire dampers for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 90A - 1969 and NFPA 90A - 1978, Standard for Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems (Codes of Record.) Two separate code editions are evaluated in this review based on the time period of initial ductwork and damper installations and subsequent modifications to include additional fire dampers as a result of the 1979 NRC Fire Protection Safety Evaluation Report, along with changes to incorporate additional criteria such as steam exclusion. One deviation has been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Four deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliances associated with the criteria to shut down HVAC systems Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 223 during the performance of hot work, the lack of fire dampers in specified horizontal and vertical fire barriers, and the location of two sets of fire dampers outside of the plane of the barrier.

EEEE Title FPEE-11-049, NFPA 80, 1968 Code Compliance Deviations Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of required fire doors in F5 Appendix K fire barriers for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 80 -1968, Standard for Fire Doors and Windows (Code of Record). Six deviations have been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Eight deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliance associated with use of gates, not doors in required fire barriers, insulation attached to the inside of a required door, access openings through three doors, four doors for which a fire rating could not be determined (two of which include transoms), the qualification of frames in fire door assemblies, transoms with penetrations above two rated doors, doors that would not close under airflow, and two sets of door combinations without positive latching.

Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 267 Variances from Deterministic Requirements (VFDR) VFDR-066 | Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 267 Variances from Deterministic Requirements (VFDR) VFDR-066 01 This variance from the deterministic requirements results in loss of automatic backwash to 11, 12, 21, and 22 Cooling Water (CL) Strainers, due to fire damage to cables. Fire damage could potentially cause a spurious closure of BKR 15-8 (Bus 15 crosstie to Bus 25). Additional cable failures could cause a loss of Overcurrent Trip capability on BKR 15-8. Additional cable failures could then fault Bus 15. Bus 15 is the ultimate power source for 230V Panel 136 which provides the control power to the backwash control panel for all four of the CL Strainers when they are in the Normal Control Mode of backwash operation. | ||

Bldg, Fire Areas 59 and 74 Summary The purpose of this evaluation is to address the adequacy of the fire area boundary between Aux Bldg Fire Areas 59 (U1) and 74 (U2), and Annulus Fire Areas 68 (U1) and 72 (U2), specifically the adequacy of the separation provided at penetration cabinets 1134 and 1136 in Fire Area 59 and penetration cabinets 2134 and 2136 in Fire Area 74. Power and control cables associated with RCS Vent System valves (credited for RCS pressure reduction during the transition from hot standby to cold shutdown), as well as those for the PZR PORVs and their block valves (a third letdown path and a high-low pressure interface) are routed in the general Aux Building area, and inside the penetration cabinets. Although the cabinet design is not a tested configuration, the cabinet suppression system, fire detection system, negligible in-situ combustibles in the area and spatial separation provides adequate protection to withstand the hazards associated with these fire areas. The combination of all these measures provides adequate assurance that unwrapped penetration cabinets, although not a rated fire design, will provide adequate protection and the ability to achieve safe shutdown will not be adversely affected. The existing fire area boundary penetration cabinet design provides adequate fire protection from a fire outside the cabinets, and would prevent a fire inside the cabinet becoming an exposure fire. EEEE Title FPEE 2011-003, Fire Protection Engineering Evaluation of Appendix R Compliance with Section III.G.2.D Since Containment Annulus Pre-Action Sprinkler System PA-3, PA-4, PA-6, and PA-7 May Not Actuate Summary The purpose of this evaluation is to justify the treatment of the containment annulus in the same way the containment is treated in 10 CFR 50 Appendix R. Revision 1 to this FPEE evaluates the functional requirements for the existing pre-action fire suppression systems inside the containment annulus. FA 68 and 72 are in compliance with Appendix R, Section III.G.2.d, because redundant trains of equipment required for safe shutdown are separated by greater than 20 feet free of intervening combustibles. Although the Annulus is not inside the containment pressure Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 277 boundary, it is inside the Reactor Containment Building and it qualifies to be treated like an area inside containment because access to the area is restricted in the same way access is restricted to containment during power operation. Reference 4.15 supports this position that the annulus is inside the Reactor Containment Building. Since FA 68 and FA 72 can be treated like areas inside containment, the partial area fire detection and automatic fire suppression in the Annulus do not need to be credited to meet the requirements of Appendix R, Section III.G.2. In addition, the functional requirements and surveillances required to ensure operability are not required for the cable tray sprinkler systems in the annulus of either unit, FA 68 and FA 72. EEEE Title FPEE-11-048, NFPA 72E, 1974, 1982, 1987 Plant Areas / Systems Not Addressed in FPP-5 R2 Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of automatic fire detectors not previously reviewed in FPP-5 R2, NFPA 72E Code Compliance Evaluation, dated April 21, 2004. One issue has been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Two recommendations are provided to consider augmenting detection actuation device coverage in Fire Area 25 (Diesel Generator 1) and in Fire Area 18 (Relay and Computer Room) pending the results of the Fire PRA. If the Fire PRA relies on the capabilities of the detection actuation devices for suppression system actuation, then additional actions will be required. An action request is tracking resolution of both issues. Additional actions are required in the Screenhouse (electric fire pump enclosure) to resolve the lack of a heat actuating device in the electric fire pump enclosure, and in the Annulus of each unit to address the Appendix A commitment to a preaction sprinkler system that is actuated by HADs in the Annulus of each unit. Action requests have been initiated to track resolution of the identified issues. Variances from Deterministic Requirements (VFDR) VFDR-071 01 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements occurs from a fire in FA 071 that could damage cables for CV-31247 and CV-31426. Fire induced cable damage and spurious closure of this component will interrupt RCP seal leakoff flow, which is credited for RCP seal injection.

EEEE Title FPEE-11-022, NFPA 90A, 1969, 1978 Code Compliance Deviations Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of HVAC systems and fire dampers for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 90A - 1969 and NFPA 90A - 1978, Standard for Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems (Codes of Record.) Two separate code editions are evaluated in this review based on the time period of initial ductwork and damper installations and subsequent modifications to include additional fire dampers as a result of the 1979 NRC Fire Protection Safety Evaluation Report, along with changes to incorporate additional criteria such as steam exclusion. One deviation has been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 302 necessary. Four deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliances associated with the criteria to shut down HVAC systems during the performance of hot work, the lack of fire dampers in specified horizontal and vertical fire barriers, and the location of two sets of fire dampers outside of the plane of the barrier. Action Requests have been initiated to track resolution of the identified issues. Variances from Deterministic Requirements (VFDR) VFDR-080 01 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements results in loss of automatic backwash to 11, 12, 21, and 22 Cooling Water (CL) Strainers, due to fire damage to cables. Fire damage could potentially cause loss of Bus 111. Power is provided from Panel MCC-1AB1 to Panel 136 via Bus 111. Bus 111 is the power source for 230V Panel 136 which provides the control power to the backwash control panel for all four of the CL Strainers when they are in the Normal Control Mode of backwash operation. Loss of Panel 136 results in the loss of automatic backwash control for all four CL Strainers. Bus 111 is located in FA 080. This condition would challenge the Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria for Vital Auxiliaries. | ||

No specific distinction is made in the program documentation whether the interaction is related to an SSO or MSO since the risk-informed approach using the Fire PRA provides an integrated plant response model. Spurious operations, both single and multiple, have an impact on the overall fire risk and are included in the fire PRA model. Fire-induced spurious operations generating a control signal can lead to initiating events (e.g., Pressurizer PORV(s) transferring open) and can also affect mitigation of initiators such as AFW supplying the steam generators or Steam Generator PORV operation used for relieving pressure. Given the potential significance of fire-induced MSOs, an Expert Panel and systematic reviews were held to search for and identify MSO failures not already captured by the Internal Events PRA model. Logic modifications were made when building the Fire PRA to incorporate several fire-induced MSO-related failures not already captured by the Internal Events model. Fire-induced MSOs are included in the fire PRA model, and their associated risk is included in the quantification of each fire scenario, the total plant fire risk, and evaluation of each VFDR.

Table G Recovery Actions and Activities Occurring at the Primary Control Station(s) identifies the activities that occur at the primary control station(s). Activities necessary to enable the primary control station(s) are also identified in Table G-1 as primary control station(s) activities. These activities do not require the treatment of additional risk. Step 2 - Determine the population of recovery actions that are required to resolve VFDRs (to meet the risk or defense-in-depth criteria) On a fire area basis all VFDRs were identified in the NEI 04-02, Table B-3 (See Attachment C). Each VFDR not brought into compliance with the deterministic approach was evaluated using the performance-based approach of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4. The performance-based evaluations resulted in the need for recovery actions to meet the risk acceptance criteria or maintain a sufficient level of defense-in-depth). Results of Step 2: The final set of recovery actions are provided in Table G Recovery Actions and Activities Occurring at the Primary Control Station. Modifications to Hot Shutdown Panel A to reduce risk for fire Areas 31 and 32 may result in additional actions taken at the panel. (See Attachment S) Step 3: Evaluate the Additional Risk of the Use of Recovery Actions NFPA 805 Section 4.2.3.1 does not allow recovery actions when using the deterministic approach to meet the nuclear safety performance criteria. However, the use of recovery actions is allowed by NFPA 805 using a risk informed, performance-based approach, Northern States Power Company Attachment G - Recovery Action Transition PINGP Page G-4 provided that the additional risk presented by the recovery actions is evaluated in accordance with NFPA 805 Section 4.2.4. Results of Step 3: | ||
The set of recovery actions that are necessary to demonstrate the availability of a success path for the nuclear safety performance criteria (See Table G-1) were evaluated for additional risk using the process described in NEI 04-02, FAQ 07-0030, Revision 5, and RG 1.205 and compared against the guidelines of RG 1.174 and RG 1.205. The additional risk is provided in Attachment W. All of the recovery actions were reviewed for adverse impact and dispositioned in fire area-specific Fire Risk Evaluation engineering evaluations. None of the recovery actions were found to have an adverse impact on the Fire PRA.

Note that since actions taken at the primary control station are not recovery actions their feasibility is evaluated in accordance with procedures for validation of off normal procedures. Results of Step 4: | The set of recovery actions that are necessary to demonstrate the availability of a success path for the nuclear safety performance criteria (See Table G-1) were evaluated for additional risk using the process described in NEI 04-02, FAQ 07-0030, Revision 5, and RG 1.205 and compared against the guidelines of RG 1.174 and RG 1.205. The additional risk is provided in Attachment W. All of the recovery actions were reviewed for adverse impact and dispositioned in fire area-specific Fire Risk Evaluation engineering evaluations. None of the recovery actions were found to have an adverse impact on the Fire PRA.

The reliability of recovery actions that were modeled specifically in the Fire PRA were addressed using Fire PRA methods (i.e., HRA). The reliability of recovery actions not modeled specifically in the Fire PRA is bounded by the treatment of additional risk associated with the applicable VFDR. In calculating the additional risk of the VFDR, the compliant case recovers the fire-induced failure(s) as if the variant condition no longer exists. The resulting delta risk between the variant and compliant condition bounds any additional risk for the recovery action even if that recovery action were modeled. Results of Step 5: The reliability of recovery actions that are being modeled specifically in the Fire PRA has been addressed using Fire PRA methods as documented in PINGP Calculation Northern States Power Company Attachment G - Recovery Action Transition PINGP Page G-5 FPRA-PI-FHRA, "Fire Human Reliability Analysis."

The exemption was required because the removal of fuses involved the use of a fuse-pulling tool, which was considered to be a "repair action." This repair action was interpreted as a non-compliance to Section III.G.1 of Appendix R to 10 CFR 50 which requires, in part, that fire protection features shall be provided for structures, systems, and components important to safe shutdown so that one train of systems necessary to achieve and maintain hot shutdown conditions be free of fire damage. This exemption was approved in a letter dated February 21, 1995. In 1999, PINGP performed a plant modification (99DC03), which included modification of the PORV control power supplies such that disconnect switches could be used in lieu of pulling control power fuses. The feasibility of utilizing the disconnect switches (no tool required) has been validated and has proven to be a beneficial change with respect to this activity. Background/Basis: NSP Exemption Request Letter, dated May 2, 1994 NSP requested an exemption from the requirements of Section III.G.2 of Appendix R to 10 CFR 50, to allow the manual removal of fuses from the PORV control circuits in the event of a fire, in lieu of modifying plant hardware. The reference to III.G.2 was later revised to III.G.1 during a follow-up phone call between NSP and NRR. Issuance of Exemption Letter, dated February 21, 1995 The NRC issued an exemption from certain requirements of Appendix R to 10 CFR Part 50 to allow NSP to remove fuses from the PORV control circuits as a means of ensuring the reactor coolant system inventory in the event of a control room fire. | The exemption was required because the removal of fuses involved the use of a fuse-pulling tool, which was considered to be a "repair action."

The symbol designates CDF and LERF values that are insignificant because of their low numerical value. In most cases, the CDF and LERF values were not determined because the cutsets were below the truncation limit for quantification. The CDF and LERF values for all recovery actions are included as part of the FRE CDF and LERF values. Thus, the column "Additional risk of RAs" shows the contribution of recovery actions to the FRE CDF and LERF values and is not a separate, extra risk. It can be seen that for some fire areas, the FRE CDF and LERF value is dominated by the additional risk of recovery actions, or can be attributed in its entirety to such recovery actions. In a few cases, VFDRs were identified in a fire area that were resolved by proposed modifications. For these areas, an FRE was not quantified. | ||

1. NSPM letter, M.A. Schimmel to NRC Document Control Desk, Request for Extension of Enforcement Discretion and Commitment to Submittal Date for 10 CFR 50.48(c) License Amendment Request, dated June 22,201 1, ADAMS Accession No. MLI 11 740866 2. NRC letter, J.G. Giitter to M.A. Schimmel, Commitment to Submit a License Amendment Request to Transition to 10 CFR 50.48(c), National Fire Protection Association Standard NFPA 805, and Request to Extend Enforcement Discretion-Prairie lsland Nuclear Generating Plant, Units I and 2 (TAC NOS. ME6675 and ME6676), dated July 29,201 1, ADAMS Accession No. MLI 12010417 Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, the Northern States Power Company, a Minnesota Corporation (NSPM), doing business as Xcel Energy, hereby requests an amendment to the renewed operating license for the Prairie lsland Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP). The proposed license amendment request (LAR) requests Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approval for adoption of a new fire protection licensing basis which complies with the requirements in 10 CFR 50.48(a), 10 CFR 50.48(c), and the guidance in Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.205, Revision 1, "Risk-Informed, Performance Based Fire Protection for Existing Light-Water Nuclear Power Plants." This amendment request also follows the guidance in Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 04-02, Revision 2, Document Control Desk Page 2 "Guidance for Implementing a Risk-Informed, Performance-Based Fire Protection Program Under 10 CFR 50.48(c)." Upon approval, the PINGP fire protection program will transition to a new Risk- Informed, Performance-Based (RI-PB) alternative in accordance with 10 CFR 50.48(c), which incorporates by reference National Fire Protection Association Standard 805 (NFPA 805). The NFPA 805 fire protection program will supersede the current fire protection program licensing basis in accordance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix R. In a letter dated June 22, 201 1 (Reference I), NSPM committed to submit a LAR by September 30, 2012 for PINGP to transition to 10 CFR 50.48(c), and requested the continuation of enforcement discretion through the NFPA 805 LAR approval process. By letter dated July 29, 201 1 (Reference 2), the NRC acknowledged the application date for PINGP and provided enforcement discretion in accordance with the Interim Enforcement Policy concerning Enforcement Discretion for Certain Fire Protection Issues as published in the Federal Register on July 12, 201 1 (76 FR 40777). Submittal of this letter satisfies NSPM's commitment and supports continuation of enforcement discretion through the NFPA 805 LAR approval process. Enclosure 1 contains the PINGP Transition Report (TR) and its supporting attachments. The TR provides the required technical and regulatory assessments to enable NRC review and approval of the new licensing basis. The PINGP TR is based on Revision 1 L of the industry template developed by the NEI NFPA 805 Task Force and adopts the resolution of applicable Frequently Asked Questions. Per discussions with NRC staff on August 8, 2012, Attachment U of the enclosed TR provides DRAFT information regarding the internal flooding PRA peer review findings and observations. This information will be provided in final form with dispositions as discussed with the NRC staff and per the commitment below. The transition to the proposed new fire protection licensing basis includes the following high level activities: a new fire safe shutdown analysis, a new Fire Probabilistic Risk Analysis (PRA), and completion of activities required for transitioning the licensing basis to 10 CFR 50.48(c). A Fire PRA to support the RI-PB change evaluations per Regulatory Positions C.2.2 and C.4.3 of RG 1.205 has been completed. The PRA was developed in accordance with NUREGICR-6850 and EPRl TR-1011989 and is discussed in Enclosure I, Section 4.5. In accordance with the guidance in Regulatory Position C.2.2.4.2 of Regulatory Guide 1.205, Revision 1, NSPM has evaluated the total risk change associated with pre-transition fire protection program variances meeting the NFPA 805 performance- based approach (via the fire risk evaluation process). Further, upon completion of the plant modifications, as referenced in section 4.8.2 of the TR, the total change in risk associated with PINGP's transition to NFPA 805 will be consistent with the acceptance guidelines in Regulatory Guide 1 .I 74. Document Control Desk Page 3 As documented in this request, NSPM has met the NRC regulatory requirements for the transition of its fire protection licensing basis, the license amendment does not present a significant hazards consideration, and the criteria for a categorical exclusion from the need for an environmental assessment have been met. NSPM requests approval of this license amendment request within 24 months after the date of this letter, and proposes to implement the new fire protection licensing basis in accordance with the implementation schedule provided in Section 5.5 of the attached TR. Specifically, per the transition license condition, the plant modifications identified in Table S-2 of the TR will be implemented in accordance with the schedule provided in Attachment S of the TR, based on their complexity, risk significance, and need for compliance with code requirements. Implementation of activities listed in Table S-3 of the attached TR, including procedure changes, process updates, and training of affected personnel, will be completed within the later of six months after NRC approval, or six months after a refueling outage if in progress at the time of NRC approval, per the commitment below. In accordance with 10 CFR 50.91, NSPM is notifying the State of Minnesota of this LAR by transmitting a copy of this letter to the designated State Official. If there are any questions or if additional information is needed, please contact Gene Eckholt at 651-388-1 121 x4137. Summaw of Commitments This letter contains the following new commitments: 1. NSPM will implement procedure changes, process updates, and training of affected personnel as identified in Attachment S, Table S-3, of the TR within the later of six months after NRC approval, or six months after a refueling outage if in progress at the time of NRC approval. 2. NSPM will provide a supplement to the NFPA 805 LAR no later than November 15, 2012, to provide the final findings and observations with dispositions related to the Internal Flooding PRA peer review.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has promulgated an alternative rule for fire protection requirements at nuclear power plants, 10 CFR 50.48(c), National Fire Protection Association Standard 805 (NFPA 805). NSPM is implementing the Nuclear Energy Institute methodology NEI 04-02, "Guidance for Implementing a Risk-informed, Performance-based Fire Protection Program Under 10 CFR 50.48(c)" (NEI 04-02), to transition PINGP from its current fire protection licensing basis to the new requirements as outlined in NFPA 805. This report describes the transition methodology utilized and documents how PINGP complies with the new requirements. 1.1 Background 1.1.1 NFPA 805 - Requirements and Guidance On July 16, 2004 the NRC amended 10 CFR 50.48, Fire Protection, to add a new subsection, 10 CFR 50.48(c), which establishes new Risk-Informed, Performance-Based (RI-PB) fire protection requirements. 10 CFR 50.48(c) incorporates by reference, with exceptions, the National Fire Protection Association's NFPA 805, Performance-Based Standard for Fire Protection for Light Water Reactor Electric Generating Plants - 2001 Edition, as a voluntary alternative to 10 CFR 50.48 Section (b), Appendix R, and Section (f), Decommissioning. As stated in 10 CFR 50.48(c)(3)(i), any licensee's adoption of a RI-PB program that complies with the rule is voluntary. This rule may be adopted as an acceptable alternative method for complying with either 10 CFR 50.48(b), for plants licensed to operate before January 1, 1979, or the fire protection license conditions for plants licensed to operate after January 1, 1979, or 10 CFR 50.48(f), plants shutdown in accordance with 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1). NEI developed NEI 04-02 to assist licensees in adopting NFPA 805 and making the transition from their current fire protection licensing basis to one based on NFPA 805. The NRC issued Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.205, Risk-Informed, Performance-Based Fire Protection for Existing Light Water Nuclear Power Plants, which endorses NEI 04-02, with exceptions, in December 2009.1 A depiction of the primary document relationships is shown in Figure 1-1: 1 Where referred to in this document NEI 04-02 is Revision 2 and RG 1.205 is Revision 1. Northern States Power - Minnesota 1.0 Introduction Figure 1-1 NFPA 805 Transition - Implementation Requirements/Guidance 1.1.2 Transition to 10 CFR 50.48(c) 1.1.2.1 Start of Transition Nuclear Management Company (NMC) submitted a letter of intent to the NRC on November 30, 2005 (ADAMS Accession No. ML053460342) for PINGP to adopt NFPA 805 in accordance with 10 CFR 50.48(c). NSPM has subsequently assumed responsibility for actions and commitments previously submitted by NMC. By letter dated September 7, 2006 (ADAMS Accession No. ML061500035), the NRC granted a three year enforcement discretion period. In accordance with NRC Enforcement Policy, the enforcement discretion period will continue until the NRC approval of the license amendment request (LAR) is completed. In accordance with SECY-11-0061, in a letter dated June 22, 2011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML111740866), NSPM committed to submit a license amendment request no later than September 30, 2012, for PINGP to transition to 10 CFR 50.48(c). By letter dated July 29, 2011, (ADAMS Accession No. ML112010417), the NRC acknowledged the application date for PINGP and granted an extension of enforcement discretion. PINGP Page 2 Northern States Power - Minnesota 1.0 Introduction PINGP Page 3 1.1.2.2 Transition Process The transition to NFPA 805 includes the following high level activities:
- A new fire safe shutdown analysis;
- A new Fire Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) using NUREG/CR 6850, EPRI/NRC-RES Fire PRA Methodology for Nuclear Power Facilities, as guidance and a revision to the Internal Events PRAs to support the Fire PRAs; and
- Completion of activities required to transition the pre-transition Licensing Basis to 10 CFR 50.48(c) as specified in NEI 04-02 and RG 1.205. 1.2 Purpose The purpose of the Transition Report is as follows: 1) Describe the process implemented to transition the current fire protection program to compliance with the additional requirements of 10 CFR 50.48(c); 2) Summarize the results of the transition process; 3) Explain the bases for conclusions that the fire protection program complies with 10 CFR 50.48(c) requirements; 4) Describe the new fire protection licensing basis; and 5) Describe the configuration management processes used to manage post-transition changes to the plant and the Fire Protection Program, and resulting impact on the Licensing Basis.
Northern States Power - Minnesota 2.0 Overview of Existing Fire Protection Program 2.0 OVERVIEW OF EXISTING FIRE PROTECTION PROGRAM 2.1 Current Fire Protection Licensing Basis PINGP Unit 1 was licensed to operate on August 9, 1973 and Unit 2 was licensed to operate on October 29, 1974. As a result, the PINGP fire protection program is based on compliance with 10 CFR 50.48(a), 10 CFR 50.48(b), 10 CFR 50 Appendix R, and the following License Condition: NSPM, PINGP Renewed Operating Licenses Nos. DPR-42 (Unit 1) and DPR-60 (Unit 2) both include License Condition 2.C.(4), "Fire Protection," which states: "NSPM shall implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved fire protection program as described and referenced in the Updated Safety Analysis Report for the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2, and as approved in Safety Evaluation Reports dated February 14, 1978, September 6, 1979, April 21, 1980, December 29, 1980, July 28, 1981, October 27, 1989, and October 6, 1995, subject to the following provision: NSPM may make changes to the approved Fire Protection Program without prior approval of the Commission only if those changes would not adversely affect the ability to achieve and maintain safe shutdown in the event of a fire." 2.2 NRC Acceptance of the Fire Protection Licensing Basis To conform to NRC guidelines issued prior to November 1980, Northern States Power performed a fire hazard analysis which analyzed the PINGP fire protection program against the guidance of Appendix A to Branch Technical Position (BTP) Auxiliary Power Conversion Systems Branch (APCSB) 9.5-1. The results of this analysis, in addition to proposed modifications and additions to the fire protection program, were communicated to the NRC by letters dated March 11, 1977, July 5, 1977, May 18, 1978, June 22, 1978, January 2, 1979, March 9, 1979, and May 2, 1979. Furthermore this analysis served as the basis for the Appendix A to BTP APCSB 9.5-1 safety evaluation dated September 6, 1979, and the associated License Amendment Nos. 39 (Unit 1) and 33 (Unit 2), which implemented fire protection technical specifications and added a license condition for the completion of fire protection modifications, submittal of additional information, and implementation of administrative controls. The current Fire Protection License Condition quoted above identifies a number of NRC Safety Evaluation Reports (SERs) and approval letters which are briefly summarized below. Any provisions of these documents that are to be transitioned to the NFPA 805 fire protection program are identified in other sections and/or attachments to this Transition Report. NRC letter dated February 14, 1978 In a letter dated February 14, 1978, the NRC issued License Amendment Nos. 26 (Unit 1) and 20 (Unit 2) which revised the PINGP Technical Specifications (TSs) to add Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCOs) and Surveillance Requirements (SRs) for fire protection equipment and instrumentation, and Administrative Controls related to fire protection. PINGP Page 4 Northern States Power - Minnesota 2.0 Overview of Existing Fire Protection Program NRC SER dated September 6, 1979 In the SER for License Amendment Nos. 39 (Unit 1) and 33 (Unit 2) dated September 6, 1979, the NRC added a license condition relating to the completion of facility modifications and implementation of administrative controls, and approved TS changes regarding detector functional test frequency, valve position verification, fire brigade size, and administrative responsibilities for fire protection and training. NRC Approval dated April 21, 1980 In a letter dated April 21, 1980, the NRC approved fourteen fire protection modifications that were previously described in the September 6, 1979 SER, and that had been designated as requiring additional information prior to implementation. NRC Approval dated December 29, 1980 In a letter dated December 29, 1980, the NRC approved additional fire protection modifications that had previously been described in the September 6, 1979 SER, and that had been designated as requiring additional information prior to implementation. The December 29 NRC letter discussed fire barrier penetration seal upgrades, structural steel member coating in the vicinity of the lube oil reservoir, installation of fire dampers, a fire barrier enclosure for the motor driven fire pump, and fire detector response capabilities. NRC SER dated July 28, 1981 In the SER for License Amendment Nos. 49 (Unit 1) and 43 (Unit 2) dated July 28, 1981, the NRC approved modifications to the TS LCOs and surveillance requirements for Fire Detection and Protection Systems, and accompanying Bases descriptions. These changes reflected modifications to fire protection equipment, structures, testing requirements, and administrative controls. NRC SER dated October 27, 1989 In the SER for License Amendment Nos. 91 (Unit 1) and 84 (Unit 2) dated October 27, 1989, the NRC approved numerous changes throughout the TS in support of a human error reduction program. These changes included the reorganization and standardization of some TS sections, including fire protection program requirements, to achieve consistency and uniformity throughout the TS and minimize the potential for confusion. NRC SER dated October 6, 1995 In the SER for License Amendment Nos. 120 (Unit 1) and 113 (Unit 2) dated October 6, 1995, the NRC approved TS changes to remove Fire Protection Program requirements from the TS. In accordance with Generic Letter 86-10, fire protection program elements were removed from the TS and the NRC-approved Fire Protection Program and major commitments, including the fire hazards analysis, were incorporated by reference into the USAR. A new fire protection license condition was added. PINGP Page 5 Northern States Power - Minnesota 2.0 Overview of Existing Fire Protection Program Exemptions The following is a list of the exemptions that have been granted by the NRC from the requirements of Appendix R to 10CFR50, Sections III.G, III.J, and III.O:
- An exemption from Section III.G.3.b for lack of a fixed fire suppression system in the Control Room, Units 1 and 2, Fire Area 13 (NRC SER dated February 2, 1983).

As described in Attachment K, different methods of protection for this cabling are provided in Unit 1 and Unit 2.
- An exemption from Section III.O for a reactor coolant pump lube oil collection system that does not drain to a vented closed container that can hold the entire lube oil system inventory, but instead is piped to a sump inside Containment and then is pumped to a closed vented container located in the Auxiliary Building; Units 1 and 2, Containment Fire Areas 1 and 71 (NRC SER dated July 31, 1984).
- An exemption from Section III.G.1 to allow operators to remove fuses from Power Operated Relief Valve (PORV) control circuits to preclude inadvertent valve operation in the event of a control room evacuation; this is considered a repair to ensure that one train of safe shutdown equipment remains operable which is contrary to Section III.G.1, Control Room, Units 1 and 2, Fire Area 13 (NRC SER dated February 21, 1995).
Northern States Power - Minnesota 3.0 Transition Process 3.0 TRANSITION PROCESS 3.1 Background Section 4.0 of NEI 04-02 describes the process for transitioning from compliance with the current fire protection licensing basis to the new requirements of 10 CFR 50.48(c). NEI 04-02 contains the following steps: 1) Licensee determination to transition the licensing basis and devote the necessary resources to it; 2) Submit a Letter of Intent to the NRC stating the licensee's intention to transition the licensing basis in accordance with a tentative schedule; 3) Conduct the transition process to determine the extent to which the current fire protection licensing basis supports compliance with the new requirements and the extent to which additional analyses, plant and program changes, and alternative methods and analytical approaches are needed; 4) Submit a LAR; 5) Complete transition activities that can be completed prior to the receipt of the License Amendment; 6) Receive a Safety Evaluation; and
- 7) Complete implementation of the new licensing basis, including completion of modifications identified in Attachment S. 3.2 NFPA 805 Process Section 2.2 of NFPA 805 establishes the general process for demonstrating compliance with NFPA 805. This process is illustrated in Figure 3-1. It shows that except for the fundamental fire protection requirements, compliance can be achieved on a fire area basis either by deterministic or RI-PB methods. Consistent with the guidance in NEI 04-02, NSPM has implemented the NFPA 805 Section 2.2 process by first determining the extent to which its current fire protection program supports findings of deterministic compliance with the requirements in NFPA 805. RI-PB methods are being applied to the requirements for which deterministic compliance could not be shown. PINGP Page 8 Northern States Power - Minnesota 3.0 Transition Process PINGP Page 9 Figure 3-1 NFPA 805 Process [NEI 04-02 Figure 3-1 based on Figure 2-2 of NFPA 805]2 3.3 NEI 04-02 - NFPA 805 Transition Process NFPA 805 contains technical processes and requirements for a RI-PB fire protection program. NEI 04-02 was developed to provide guidance on the overall process (programmatic, technical, and licensing) for transitioning from a traditional fire protection licensing basis to a new RI-PB method based upon NFPA 805, as shown in Figure 3-2. 2 Note: 10 CFR 50.48(c) does not incorporate by reference Life Safety and Plant Damage/Business Interruption goals, objectives and criteria. See 10 CFR 50.48(c) for specific exceptions to the incorporation by reference of NFPA 805.
Northern States Power - Minnesota 3.0 Transition Process Section 4.0 of NEI 04-02 describes the detailed process for assessing a fire protection program for compliance with NFPA 805, as shown in Figure 3-2. Figure 3-2 Transition Process (Simplified) [based on NEI 04-02 Figure 4-1] 3.4 NFPA 805 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) The NRC has worked with NEI and two Pilot Plants (Oconee Nuclear Station and Harris Nuclear Plant) to define the licensing process for transitioning to a new licensing basis under 10 CFR 50.48(c) and NFPA 805. Both the NRC and the industry recognized the need for additional clarifications to the guidance provided in RG 1.205, NEI 04-02, and the requirements of NFPA 805. The NFPA 805 FAQ process was jointly developed by NEI and NRC to facilitate timely clarifications of NRC positions. This process is described in a letter from the NRC dated July 12, 2006, to NEI (ML061660105) and in Regulatory Issues Summary (RIS) 2007-19, Process for Communicating Clarifications PINGP Page 10 Northern States Power - Minnesota 3.0 Transition Process PINGP Page 11 of Staff Positions Provided in RG 1.205 Concerning Issues Identified during the Pilot Application of NFPA Standard 805, dated August 20, 2007 (ML071590227). Under the FAQ Process, transition issues are submitted to the NEI NFPA 805 Task Force for review, and subsequently presented to the NRC during public FAQ meetings. Once the NEI NFPA 805 Task Force and NRC reach agreement, the NRC issues a memorandum to indicate that the FAQ is acceptable. NEI 04-02 will be revised to incorporate the approved FAQs. This is an on-going revision process that will continue through the transition of NFPA 805 transition plants. Final closure of the FAQs will occur when future revisions of RG 1.205, endorsing the related revisions of NEI 04-02, are approved by the NRC. It is expected that additional FAQs will be written and existing FAQs will be revised as plants continue NFPA 805 transition after the Pilot Plant Safety Evaluations. Attachment H contains the list of approved FAQs not yet incorporated into the endorsed revision of NEI 04-02. These FAQs have been used to clarify the guidance in RG 1.205, NEI 04-02, and the requirements of NFPA 805 and in the preparation of this LAR. Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements 4.0 COMPLIANCE WITH NFPA 805 REQUIREMENTS 4.1 Fundamental Fire Protection Program and Design Elements The Fundamental Fire Protection Program and Design Elements are established in Chapter 3 of NFPA 805. Section 4.3.1 of NEI 04-02 provides a systematic process for determining the extent to which the pre-transition licensing basis and plant configuration meets these criteria and for identifying the fire protection program changes that would be necessary for compliance with NFPA 805. NEI 04-02 Appendix B-1 provides guidance on documenting compliance with the program requirements of NFPA 805 Chapter 3. 4.1.1 Overview of Evaluation Process The comparison of the PINGP Fire Protection Program to the requirements of NFPA 805 Chapter 3 was performed and documented in PINGP Engineering Evaluation EC 19638 entitled "NFPA 805 Chapter 3 Fundamental Fire Protection Program and Design Elements Review." Engineering Evaluation EC 19638 used the guidance contained in NEI 04-02, Section 4.3.1 and Appendix B-1 (See Figure 4-1). Each section and subsection of NFPA 805 Chapter 3 was reviewed against the current fire protection program. Upon completion of the activities associated with the review, the following compliance statement(s) was used:
- Complies - For those sections/subsections determined to meet the specific requirements of NFPA 805.
- Complies with Item for Implementation - For those sections/subsections determined to meet the requirements of NFPA 805 upon completion of an item as identified in Attachment S.
- Complies with Clarification - For those sections/subsections determined to meet the requirements of NFPA 805 with clarification.
- Complies by previous NRC approval - For those sections/subsections where the specific NFPA 805 Chapter 3 requirements are not met but previous NRC approval of the configuration exists.
- Complies with use of Existing Engineering Equivalency Evaluations (EEEEs) - For those sections/subsections determined to be equivalent to the NFPA 805 Chapter 3 requirements as documented by engineering analysis.
- Submit for NRC Approval - For those sections/subsections for which approval is sought in this LAR submittal in accordance with 10 CFR 50.48(c)(2)(vii). A summary of the bases of acceptability is provided (See Attachment L for details). In some cases multiple compliance statements have been assigned to a specific NFPA 805 Chapter 3 section/subsection. Where this is the case, each compliance/compliance basis statement clearly references the corresponding requirement of NFPA 805 Chapter 3. PINGP Page 12 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements PINGP Page 13 Figure 4 Fundamental Fire Protection Program and Design Elements Transition Process [Based on NEI 04-02 Figure 4-2] 3 Figure 4-1 depicts the process used during the transition and therefore contains elements (i.e., open items) that represent interim resolutions. Additional detail on the transition of EEEEs is included in Section 4.2.2.
Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements 4.1.2 Results of the Evaluation Process 4.1.2.1 NFPA 805 Chapter 3 Requirements Met or Previously Approved by the NRC Attachment A contains the NEI 04-02 Table B-1, Transition of Fundamental Fire Protection Program and Design Elements. This table provides the compliance basis for the requirements in NFPA 805 Chapter 3. Except as identified in Section 4.1.2.3, Attachment A demonstrates that the fire protection program at PINGP either:
- Complies directly with the requirements of NFPA 805 Chapter 3,
- Complies with clarification with the requirements of NFPA 805 Chapter 3,
- Complies through the use of existing engineering equivalency evaluations which are valid and of appropriate quality, or
- Complies with a previously NRC approved alternative to NFPA 805 Chapter 3 and therefore the specific requirement of NFPA 805 Chapter 3 is supplanted. 4.1.2.2 NFPA 805 Chapter 3 Requirements Requiring Clarification of Prior NRC Approval NFPA 805 Section 3.1 states in part, "Previously approved alternatives from the fundamental protection program attributes of this chapter by the AHJ take precedence over the requirements contained herein." In some cases prior NRC approval of an NFPA 805 Chapter 3 program attribute may be unclear. NSPM requests that the NRC concur with their finding of prior approval for the following sections of NFPA 805 Chapter 3:
- None. Although there are no NFPA 805 Chapter 3 requirements requiring clarification, Attachment T includes a request to accept clarification of prior NRC approval of an exemption to an NFPA 805 Chapter 4 requirement (NFPA 805 Section 4.2.3.1). 4.1.2.3 NFPA 805 Chapter 3 Requirements Not Previously Approved by NRC The following sections of NFPA 805 Chapter 3 are not specifically met nor do previous NRC approvals of alternatives exist:
- 3.5.16 - Approval is requested for the use of fire protection water for other purposes not related to fire protection. The specific deviation and a discussion of how the alternative satisfies 10 CFR 50.48(c)(2)(vii) requirements is provided in Attachment L. NSPM requests NRC approval of these performance-based methods.
4.1.3 Definition of Power Block and Plant Where used in NFPA 805 Chapter 3 the terms "Power Block" and "Plant" refer to structures that have equipment required for nuclear plant operations, such as Containment, Auxiliary Building, Service Building, Control Building, Fuel Building, Radioactive Waste, Water Treatment, Turbine Building, and intake structures or structures that are identified in the facility's pre-transition licensing basis. PINGP Page 14 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements All structures within the PINGP Owner Controlled Area were reviewed to determine the potential impact of fire on the nuclear safety and radioactive release criteria described in Section 1.5 of NFPA 805. This was accomplished by identifying the structures that contain either:
- Equipment that could affect o Plant operation for power generation o Equipment important to safety o Ability to maintain nuclear safety performance criteria in the event of a fire OR
- Radioactive materials that could potentially be released in the event of a fire. The determination of structures defined as the power block was completed in PINGP Engineering Evaluation EC 19646, entitled "NFPA 805 LAR Attachment I - Power Block Definition."
These structures are listed in Attachment I and define the "power block" and "plant." 4.2 Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria The Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria are established in Section 1.5 of NFPA 805. Chapter 4 of NFPA 805 provides the methodology to determine the fire protection systems and features required to achieve the performance criteria outlined in Section 1.5. Section 4.3.2 of NEI 04-02 provides a systematic process for determining the extent to which the pre-transition licensing basis meets these criteria and for identifying any necessary fire protection program changes. NEI 04-02, Appendix B-2 provides guidance on documenting the transition of Nuclear Safety Capability Assessment Methodology and the Fire Area compliance strategies. 4.2.1 Nuclear Safety Capability Assessment Methodology The Nuclear Safety Capability Assessment (NSCA) Methodology review consists of four processes:
- Establishing compliance with NFPA 805 Section 2.4.2
- Establishing the Safe and Stable Conditions for the Plant
- Establishing Recovery Actions
- Evaluating Multiple Spurious Operations The methodology for demonstrating reasonable assurance that a fire during non-power operational (NPO) modes will not prevent the plant from achieving and maintaining the fuel in a safe and stable condition is an additional requirement of 10 CFR 50.48(c) and is addressed in Section 4.3. 4.2.1.1 Compliance with NFPA 805 Section 2.4.2 Overview of Process NFPA 805 Section 2.4.2 Nuclear Safety Capability Assessment states: PINGP Page 15 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements "The purpose of this section is to define the methodology for performing a nuclear safety capability assessment. The following steps shall be performed:
(1) Selection of systems and equipment and their interrelationships necessary to achieve the nuclear safety performance criteria in Chapter 1 (2) Selection of cables necessary to achieve the nuclear safety performance criteria in Chapter 1 (3) Identification of the location of nuclear safety equipment and cables (4) Assessment of the ability to achieve the nuclear safety performance criteria given a fire in each fire area" The NSCA methodology review evaluated PINGP's post-fire safe shutdown analysis (SSA) methodology against the guidance provided in NEI 00-01, Revision 1 Chapter 3, "Deterministic Methodology," as discussed in Appendix B-2 of NEI 04-02. The methodology is depicted in Figure 4-2 and consisted of the following activities:
- Each specific section of NFPA 805 2.4.2 was correlated to the corresponding section of Chapter 3 of NEI 00-01 Revision 1. Based upon the content of the NEI 00-01 methodology statements, a determination was made of the applicability of the section to the station.
- The plant-specific methodology was compared to applicable sections of NEI 00-01 and one of the following alignment statements and its associated basis were assigned to the section: o Aligns o Aligns with intent o Not in Alignment o Not in Alignment, but Prior NRC Approval o Not in Alignment, but no adverse consequences
- For those sections that do not align, an assessment was made to determine if the failure to maintain strict alignment with the guidance in NEI 00-01 could have adverse consequences. Since NEI 00-01 is a guidance document, portions of its text could be interpreted as 'good practice' or intended as an example of an efficient means of performing the analyses. If the section has no adverse consequences, these sections of NEI 00-01 can be dispositioned without further review. The comparison of the PINGP post-fire SSA to NEI 00-01 Chapter 3 (NEI 04-02 Table B-2) was performed and documented in PINGP Engineering Evaluation EC 19775, "Nuclear Safety Capability Assessment (NSCA) Methodology Review." In addition, a review of NEI-00-01, Revision 2, Chapter 3, was conducted against the following substantive changes applicable to an NFPA 805 fire protection program in the guidance from NEI 00-01, Revision 1:
- Post fire manual operation of rising stem valves in the fire area of concern (NEI 00-01 Section 3.2.1.2)
- Analysis of open circuits on a high voltage (e.g., 4.16 kV) ammeter current transformers (NEI 00-01 Section 3.5.2.1) PINGP Page 16 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements
- Analysis of control power for switchgear with respect to breaker coordination (NEI 00-01 Section 3.5.2.4) This review was performed and documented in Attachment B, "NEI 04-02 Table B-2, Nuclear Safety Capability Assessment - Methodology Review." Results from Evaluation Process The method used to perform the post-fire SSA with respect to selection of systems and equipment, selection of cables, and identification of the location of equipment and cables, either meets the NRC endorsed guidance from NEI 00-01, Revision 1, Chapter 3 directly or meets the intent of the endorsed guidance with adequate justification as documented in Attachment B with the following exceptions:
- Attachment B Section 3.1.1.4: As an exception to this section, the PINGP Fire Protection Program is transitioning an existing approved licensing action (exemption). This licensing action allows a "repair action" to assure isolation of pressurizer PORVs for a fire occurring in the control room or relay room (Fire Areas 13 and 18 respectively), that could cause spurious operation of the PORV isolation valves. Therefore, this section is "Not in Alignment, but Prior NRC Approval." The details for this licensing action can be found in Attachments K and T.
- Attachment B Section 3.4.1.6: As an exception to this section, the PINGP Fire Protection Program is transitioning an existing approved licensing action (exemption) for oil collection system variances for Fire Areas 1 and 71 (containment). Therefore, this section is "Not in Alignment, but Prior NRC Approval." The details for this existing licensing action can be found in Attachment K. PINGP Page 17 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements Figure 4 Summary of Nuclear Safety Methodology Review Process (FAQ 07-0039) Comparison to NEI 00-01 Revision 2 An additional review was performed of NEI 00-01, Revision 2, Chapter 3, for specific substantive changes in the guidance from NEI 00-01, Revision 1 that are applicable to an NFPA 805 transition. The results of this review are summarized below:
- Post fire manual operation of rising stem valves in the fire area of concern (NEI 00-01 Section 3.2.1.2) NSPM discovered that two rising stem valves, VC 1 and 2VC 1, are required to be manually operated (recovery action) after the valves have potentially been exposed to a fire in Fire Area 58. The post-fire operation of these valves will be addressed in a revision to the PINGP manual action feasibility study as described in Attachment S, Table S-3.* Analysis of open circuits on a high voltage (e.g., 4.16 kV) ammeter current transformers (NEI 00-01 Section 3.5.2.1) NSPM identified PINGP current transformer circuits (CTs) that are susceptible to secondary fires should the secondary of the transformer develop an open circuit as a result of the fire. Disposition of these identified current transformers has been included as a modification in Attachment S, Table S-2.* Analysis of control power for switchgear with respect to breaker coordination (NEI 00-01 Section 3.5.2.4) DC control power required to maintain switchgear breaker coordination was analyzed for both credited power supplies and non-credited power supplies. The analysis included both the common power supply as well as the common enclosure aspects of the loss of control power. Several modifications have been PINGP Page 18 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements identified in Attachment S, Table S-2, to preclude coordination and protection concerns resulting from this fire-induced failure. 4.2.1.2 Safe and Stable Conditions for the Plant Overview of Process The nuclear safety goals, objectives and performance criteria of NFPA 805 allow more flexibility than the previous deterministic programs based on 10 CFR 50 Appendix R and NUREG 0800, Section 9.5-1 (and NEI 00-01, Chapter 3) since NFPA 805 only requires the licensee to maintain the fuel in a safe and stable condition rather than achieve and maintain cold shutdown. NFPA 805, Section 1.6.56, defines Safe and Stable Conditions as follows "For fuel in the reactor vessel, head on and tensioned, safe and stable conditions are defined as the ability to maintain Keff <0.99, with a reactor coolant temperature at or below the requirements for hot shutdown for a boiling water reactor and hot standby for a pressurized water reactor. For all other configurations, safe and stable conditions are defined as maintaining Keff <0.99 and fuel coolant temperature below boiling." The nuclear safety goal of NFPA 805 requires "...reasonable assurance that a fire during any operational mode and plant configuration will not prevent the plant from achieving and maintaining the fuel in a safe and stable condition" without a specific reference to a mission time or event coping duration.
For the plant to be in a Safe and Stable condition, it may not be necessary to perform a transition to cold shutdown as currently required under 10 CFR 50, Appendix R. Therefore, the unit may remain at or below the temperature defined by a hot standby/hot shutdown plant operating state for the event. Results Demonstration of the Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria for safe and stable conditions was performed in two analyses.
- At-Power analysis, Mode 1 through Mode 3. This analysis is discussed in Section 4.2.4.
- Non-Power analysis, which includes Mode 4 and below. This analysis is discussed in Section 4.3. The NFPA 805 licensing basis for PINGP for a Safe and Stable condition in the event of a fire starting with the reactor in at-power operating Modes 1, 2, or 3 (Power Operation, Startup, or Hot Standby, respectively) is to maintain Safe and Stable conditions in Hot Standby without Residual Heat Removal (RHR). PINGP will maintain Hot Standby conditions until a decision is made to either place the reactor in a non-power operating mode, i.e., Hot Shutdown (Mode 4) or Cold Shutdown (Mode 5), or to return to power operations. Determination of the final state will be based upon the extent of the fire damage, the inventory remaining in the Refueling Water Storage Tank (RWST), the ability to provide makeup water to the RWST, and the ability to re-establish inventory in PINGP Page 19 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements the Condensate Storage Tank (CST) or realign Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) to its alternate source (cooling water system). Mission Time A PINGP thermal-hydraulic analysis was performed for a mission time of 24 hours to assure that safe and stable conditions can be achieved within that time period. This mission time ensures that sufficient time is available for the Emergency Response Organization to respond to the event, assess the extent of fire damage, and assist the plant operating staff with maintaining Safe and Stable conditions or transitioning the plant to a non-power operating mode.
To sustain Safe and Stable conditions, Key Safety Functions are met as follows:
- Reactivity and Inventory Control The reactor design ensures that Keff < 0.99 can be achieved by use of the control rods from any operating mode. Subsequent injection (using Charging or Safety Injection Pumps) of soluble poison can be used to assure continuation of Mode 3, Hot Standby, under all circumstances. The charging system and the Safety Injection system will remain available beyond the mission time for Safe and Stable. The RWST is the credited source of borated water and is capable of providing water for at least 38 hours, per PINGP Engineering Evaluation EC 20736, "Reactivity Control." Operator actions to establish makeup sources of inventory to the RWST are described in existing plant procedure C12.5, "Boron Concentration Control."
- Decay Heat Removal One or both steam generators, as well as a motor driven or turbine driven AFW pump will remain available without additional actions to provide symmetrical or asymmetrical decay heat removal beyond the mission time for Safe and Stable. The CST is the initial source for the AFW pumps. Per Engineering Evaluation EC 20738, "Decay Heat Removal," the CST will provide a continuous water supply for the AFW pumps for 20 hours. Beyond 20 hours, the CST can be refilled or the AFW pumps can be re-aligned to the cooling water system to provide an unlimited water source. This realignment is accomplished through existing plant procedures 1(2)E-1, "Loss of Reactor or Secondary Coolant," and C28.1, AOP2, "Loss of Condensate Supply to Auxiliary Feedwater Pump Suction."
- Vital Auxiliaries - Power and Support Systems The Emergency Diesel Generators (EDGs) have an on-site fuel oil supply that will last for 14 days, assuming one EDG on each unit, or 7 days if both EDGs are operating for each unit. The diesel driven cooling water pumps (DDCLPs) have a separate fuel oil supply that will last for 14 days for one operating pump, or 7 days if two pumps are operating. Offsite sources of fuel oil are available to replenish fuel oil levels if needed via established contracts. If conditions warrant placing the plant in Hot Shutdown (Mode 4) or Cold Shutdown (Mode 5), NSPM will initiate operation of the RHR System. Although the RHR system is PINGP Page 20 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements not required for maintaining safe and stable conditions, the RHR system is included in the "at power" Nuclear Safety Capability Assessment (NSCA) PRISM model to demonstrate its availability for transition. Initiation of RHR system operations does not imply that the end state will be Cold Shutdown (Mode 5). 4.2.1.3 Establishing Recovery Actions Overview of Process NEI 04-02 and RG 1.205 suggest that a licensee submit a summary of its approach for addressing the transition of Operator Manual Actions (OMAs) as recovery actions in the LAR (Regulatory Position 2.21 and NEI-04-02, Section 4.6). As a minimum, NEI 04-02 suggests that the assumptions, criteria, methodology, and overall results be included for the NRC to determine the acceptability of the licensee's methodology. The discussion below provides the methodology used to transition pre-transition OMAs and to determine the population of post-transition recovery actions. This process is based on FAQ 07-0030 (ML110070485) and consists of the following steps:
- Step 1: Clearly define the primary control station(s) and determine which pre-transition OMAs are taken at primary control station(s) (Activities that occur in the Main Control Room are not considered pre-transition OMAs). Activities that take place at primary control station(s) or in the Main Control Room are not recovery actions, by definition.
- Step 2: Determine the population of recovery actions that are required to resolve variances from deterministic requirements (VFDRs) (to meet the risk acceptance criteria or maintain a sufficient level of defense-in-depth).
- Step 3: Evaluate the additional risk presented by the use of recovery actions required to demonstrate the availability of a success path.
- Step 4: Evaluate the feasibility of the recovery actions.
- Step 5: Evaluate the reliability of the recovery actions. Results The review results are documented in PINGP Engineering Evaluation EC 19844, "Operator Manual Actions." Refer to Attachment G for the detailed evaluation process and summary of the results from the process. 4.2.1.4 Evaluation of Multiple Spurious Operations Overview of Process NEI 04-02 suggests that a licensee submit a summary of its approach for addressing potential fire-induced Multiple Spurious Operations (MSOs) for NRC review and approval. As a minimum, NEI 04-02 suggests that the summary contain sufficient information relevant to methods, tools, and acceptance criteria used to enable the NRC to determine the acceptability of the licensee's methodology. The methodology utilized to address MSOs for PINGP is summarized below. As part of the NFPA 805 transition project, a review and evaluation of PINGP susceptibility to fire-induced MSOs was performed. The process was conducted in PINGP Page 21 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements accordance with NEI 04-02 and RG 1.205, as supplemented by FAQ 07-0038 Revision 3 (ML110140242). The PWR Generic MSO list dated May 2009 was utilized. The approach outlined in Figure 4-3 (based on Figure 4-8 from FAQ 07-0038) is one acceptable method to address fire-induced MSOs. This method used insights from the PRA developed in support of transition to NFPA 805 and consists of the following:
- Identifying potential MSOs of concern.
- Conducting an expert panel to assess plant specific vulnerabilities (e.g., per NEI 00-01, Rev. 1, Section F.4.2).
- Updating the Fire PRA model and NSCA to include the MSOs of concern.
- Evaluating for NFPA 805 Compliance.
- Documenting Results. This process is intended to support the transition to a new licensing basis. Post-transition changes would use the RI-PB change process. The post-transition change process for the assessment of a specific MSO would be a simplified version of this process, and may not need the level of detail shown in the following section (e.g., An expert panel may not be necessary to identify and assess a new potential MSO. Identification of new potential MSOs may be part of the plant change review process and/or inspection process). PINGP Page 22 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements Figure 4 Multiple Spurious Operations - Transition Resolution Process (Based on FAQ 07-0038) Results Refer to Attachment F for a description of the process used at PINGP, which is based on the approach outlined in Figure 4-3, and the results from the process. 4.2.2 Existing Engineering Equivalency Evaluation Transition Overview of Evaluation Process The EEEEs that support compliance with NFPA 805 Chapter 3 or Chapter 4 (both those that existed prior to the transition and those that were created during the transition) were reviewed using the methodology contained in NEI 04-02. The methodology for performing the EEEE review included the following determinations:
- The EEEE is not based solely on quantitative risk evaluations,
- The EEEE is an appropriate use of an engineering equivalency evaluation, PINGP Page 23 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements
- The EEEE is of appropriate quality,
- The standard license condition is met,
- The EEEE is technically adequate,
- The EEEE reflects the plant as-built condition, and
- The basis for acceptability of the EEEE remains valid. In accordance with the guidance in RG 1.205, Regulatory Position 2.3.2, and NEI 04-02, as clarified by FAQ 07-0054, Demonstrating Compliance with Chapter 4 of NFPA 805, EEEEs that demonstrate that a fire protection system or feature is "adequate for the hazard" are summarized in the LAR as follows:
- If not requesting specific approval for "adequate for the hazard" EEEEs, then the EEEE was referenced where required and a brief description of the evaluated condition was provided.
- If requesting specific NRC approval for "adequate for the hazard" EEEEs, then EEEE was referenced where required to demonstrate compliance and was included in Attachment L for NRC review and approval. In all cases, the reliance on EEEEs to demonstrate compliance with NFPA 805 requirements was documented in the LAR. Results The review results for EEEEs are documented in PINGP Engineering Evaluation EC 20386, "NFPA 805 Existing Engineering Equivalency Evaluation Review Report." In accordance with the guidance provided in RG 1.205, Regulatory Position 2.3.2, and NEI 04-02, as clarified by FAQ 07-0054, Demonstrating Compliance with Chapter 4 of NFPA 805, EEEEs used to demonstrate compliance with Chapters 3 and 4 of NFPA 805 are referenced in Attachments A and C as appropriate. The EEEE discussions in Attachment C include evaluations of conformance to applicable NFPA codes for the PINGP fire suppression and fire detection system installations. Where detection and suppression systems are required to satisfy NFPA 805 Chapter 4 requirements, any modifications to resolve code deviations identified within the evaluations are included in Attachment S, Table S-2. In cases where systems are not required to satisfy NFPA 805 Chapter 4 requirements, code deviations are resolved through the PINGP corrective action program. In addition, none of the transitioning EEEEs require NRC approval. 4.2.3 Licensing Action Transition Overview of Evaluation Process The existing licensing actions (exemptions) review was performed in accordance with NEI 04-02. The methodology for the licensing action review included the following:
- Determination of the bases for acceptability of the licensing action.
- Determination that these bases for acceptability are still valid and required for NFPA 805. PINGP Page 24 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements
- In addition, variances from the deterministic requirements were identified in the NEI 04-02 Table B-3 (See Attachment C). Some of these variances were subsequently dispositioned via the use of the performance-based approach. A licensing action summary was completed for each fire area using the performance-based approach. Results Attachment K contains the detailed results of the Licensing Action Review. Where NRC clarification is needed for the continued acceptability of the exemption, the appropriate request for clarification is included in Attachment T. The following licensing actions will be transitioned into the NFPA 805 fire protection program as previously approved (NFPA 805 Section 2.2.7). These licensing actions are considered compliant under 10 CFR 50.48(c).
- Appendix R Exemption, RCP Oil Collection, RCP oil collection system not in strict compliance (III.O criteria), Units 1 and 2, Fire Areas 1 and 71 (NRC SER dated July 31, 1984).
- Appendix R Exemption, Control Room, Repair action to remove fuses from PORV control circuits in event of control room evacuation, Units 1 and 2, Fire Area 13 (NRC SER dated February 21, 1995), subject to clarification requested in Attachment T.
The following licensing actions are no longer necessary and will not be transitioned into the NFPA 805 fire protection program:
- Appendix R Exemption, Control Room, Lack of automatic fixed suppression system (III.G.3 criteria), Units 1 and 2, Fire Area 13 (NRC SER dated February 2, 1983). This exemption is no longer required because the PINGP NFPA 805 transition compliance strategy is in accordance with NFPA 805 Section 4.2.4, and uses a performance based approach that does not credit a fixed suppression system in the control room.
- Appendix R Exemption, Train "A" Hot Shutdown Panel; Instrument Air Room and Auxiliary Feedwater Pump Room, Lack of 20' separation free of intervening combustibles or lack of a 1-hour fire barrier (III.G.2 criteria), Units 1 and 2, Fire Area 31 (NRC SER dated May 4, 1983). This exemption is no longer required because the PINGP NFPA 805 transition compliance strategy is in accordance with NFPA 805 Section 4.2.4, and uses a performance based approach that does not credit 20' separation with no intervening combustibles.
- Appendix R Exemption, Train "B" Hot Shutdown Panel; Instrument Air Room and Auxiliary Feedwater Pump Room, Lack of 20' separation free of intervening combustibles or lack of a 1-hr fire barrier (III.G.2 criteria), Units 1 and 2, Fire Area PINGP Page 25 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements 32 (NRC SER dated May 4, 1983). This exemption is no longer required because the PINGP NFPA 805 transition compliance strategy is in accordance with NFPA 805 Section 4.2.4, and uses a performance based approach that does not credit 20' separation with no intervening combustibles.
- Appendix R Exemption, Normal Switchgear Room, Lack of automatic fixed suppression system (III.G.2 criteria), Unit 1, Fire Area 37 (NRC SER dated May 4, 1983).
This exemption was previously withdrawn and is no longer required because a facility modification relocated redundant cables outside the fire area.
- Appendix R Exemption, Auxiliary Building, Operating Level, Lack of automatic suppression system (III.G.2 criteria), Unit 1, Fire Area 60 (NRC SER dated May 4, 1983).
This exemption is no longer required because redundant equipment required for safe shutdown is no longer located in this fire area, due to a facility modification that changed power supplies for steam supply valves.
- Appendix R Exemption, Auxiliary Building, Operating Level, Lack of area wide suppression (III.G.2 criteria), Unit 2, Fire Area 75 (NRC SER dated May 4, 1983). This exemption is no longer required because redundant equipment required for safe shutdown is no longer located in this fire area, due to a facility modification that changed power supplies for steam supply valves.
- Appendix R Exemption, Auxiliary Building, Ground Level, Lack of automatic fire suppression system (III.G.2 criteria), Unit 1, Fire Area 58 (NRC SER dated January 9, 1984).
This exemption is no longer required because the PINGP NFPA 805 transition compliance strategy is in accordance with NFPA 805 Section 4.2.4, and uses a performance based approach that does not credit a fixed suppression system in this fire area.
- Appendix R Exemption, Auxiliary Building, Ground Level, Lack of automatic fire suppression system (III.G.2 criteria), Unit 2, Fire Area 73 (NRC SER dated January 9, 1984). This exemption is no longer required because the PINGP NFPA 805 transition compliance strategy is in accordance with NFPA 805 Section 4.2.4, and uses a performance based approach that does not credit a fixed suppression system in this fire area.
- Appendix R Exemption, Auxiliary Building, Mezzanine Level, Lack of automatic fixed suppression (III.G.2 criteria), Unit 1, Fire Area 59 (NRC SER dated January 9, 1984). This exemption is no longer required because the PINGP NFPA 805 transition compliance strategy is in accordance with NFPA 805 Section 4.2.4, and uses a PINGP Page 26 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements performance based approach that does not credit a fixed suppression system in this fire area.
- Appendix R Exemption, Auxiliary Building, Mezzanine Level, Lack of automatic fixed suppression (III.G.2 criteria), Unit 2, Fire Area 74 (NRC SER dated January 9, 1984). This exemption is no longer required because the PINGP NFPA 805 transition compliance strategy is in accordance with NFPA 805 Section 4.2.4, and uses a performance based approach that does not credit a fixed suppression system in this fire area.
- Appendix R Exemption, Containment, Intervening combustibles between redundant shutdown divisions, Units 1 and 2, Fire Areas 1 and 71 (NRC SER dated July 31, 1984). This exemption is no longer required because the PINGP NFPA 805 transition compliance strategy is in accordance with NFPA 805 Section 4.2.4, and uses a performance based approach that does not credit 20' separation with no intervening combustibles and takes into account the different fire protection features installed to protect pressurizer level transmitter cables in Unit 1 and Unit 2. Since the exemptions are either compliant with 10 CFR 50.48(c) or no longer necessary, in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.48(c)(3)(i), PINGP requests that the exemptions listed in Attachment K be rescinded as part of the LAR process. It is NSPM's understanding that implicit in the superseding of the current license condition, all prior fire protection program Safety Evaluation Reports and commitments will be superseded in their entirety. See Attachment O, Orders and Exemptions. 4.2.4 Fire Area Transition Overview of Evaluation Process The Fire Area Transition (NEI 04-02 Table B-3) was performed using the methodology contained NEI 04-02 and FAQ 07-0054. The methodology for performing the Fire Area Transition, depicted in Figure 4-4, is outlined as follows: Step 1 - Assembled documentation. Gathered industry and plant-specific fire area analyses and licensing basis documents. Step 2 - Documented fulfillment of nuclear safety performance criteria.
- Assessed accomplishment of nuclear safety performance goals. Documented the method of accomplishment, in summary level form, for the fire area.
- Documented evaluation of effects of fire suppression activities. Documented the evaluation of the effects of fire suppression activities on the ability to achieve the nuclear safety performance criteria.
- Performed licensing action reviews. Performed a review of the licensing aspects of the selected fire area and documented the results of the review. See Section 4.2.3. PINGP Page 27 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements
- Performed existing engineering equivalency evaluation reviews. Performed a review of existing engineering equivalency evaluations (or created new evaluations) documenting the basis for acceptability. See Section 4.2.2.
- Pre-transition OMA reviews. Performed a review of pre-transition OMAs to determine those actions taking place outside of the main control room or outside of the primary control station(s). See Section 4.2.1.3. Step 3 - VFDR Identification and characterization and resolution considerations. Identified variances from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3. Documented variances as either a separation issue or a degraded fire protection system or feature. Developed VFDR problem statements to support resolution and selected an approach in accordance with NFPA 805 Chapter 4. Step 4 - Performance-Based evaluations (Fire Modeling or Fire Risk Evaluations) See Section 4.5.2 for additional information. Alternatively, as shown in Figure 4-4, the VFDR condition was brought into compliance with Section 4.2.3 of NFPA 805. Step 5 - Final Disposition.
- Documented final disposition of the VFDRs in Attachment C (NEI 04-02 Table B-3).
- For recovery action compliance strategies, ensured the manual action feasibility analysis of the required recovery actions was completed. Note: if a recovery action cannot meet the feasibility requirements established per NEI 04-02, then alternate means of compliance was considered.
- Documented the post transition NFPA 805 Chapter 4 compliance basis. Step 6 - Documented required fire protection systems and features. Reviewed the NFPA 805 Section 4.2.3 compliance strategies (including fire area licensing actions and engineering evaluations) and the NFPA 805 Section 4.2.4 compliance strategies (including simplifying deterministic assumptions) to determine the scope of fire protection systems and features 'required' by NFPA 805 Chapter 4. The 'required' fire protection systems and features are subject to the applicable requirements of NFPA 805 Chapter 3.

On a fire area basis, Attachment C summarizes compliance with Chapter 4 of NFPA 805. NEI 04-02 Table B-3 includes the following summary level information for each fire area:
- Regulatory Basis - NFPA 805 post-transition regulatory bases are included.
- Performance Goal Summary - An overview of the method of accomplishment of each of the performance criteria in NFPA 805 Section 1.5 is provided.
- Reference Documents - Specific references to Nuclear Safety Capability Assessment Documents are provided.
- Licensing Actions - Specific references to exemptions that will remain part of the post-transition licensing basis are provided. A brief description of the condition and the basis for acceptability of the licensing action should be provided. In addition summaries of Fire Risk Evaluations performed for variances from the deterministic requirements are also provided. Attachment T contains items for which NSPM is requesting concurrence of prior approval.
- EEEE - Specific references to EEEE that rely on determinations of "adequate for the hazard" that will remain part of the post-transition licensing basis are provided. A brief description of the condition and the basis for acceptability is provided.
- VFDRs - Specific variances from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805 Section 4.2.3 are identified. Refer to Section 4.5.2 for a discussion of the performance-based approach. 4.3 Non-Power Operational Modes 4.3.1 Overview of Evaluation Process NSPM implemented the process outlined in NEI 04-02 and FAQ 07-0040, Clarification on Non-Power Operations. The goal (as depicted in Figure 4-5) is to ensure that contingency plans are established when the plant is in a Non-Power Operational (NPO) mode where the risk is intrinsically high. During low risk periods, normal risk management controls and fire prevention/protection processes and procedures will be utilized.
The process to demonstrate that the nuclear safety performance criteria are met during NPO modes involved the following steps:
- Reviewed the existing Outage Management Processes.
- Identified Equipment/Cables: o Reviewed plant systems to determine success paths that support each of the defense-in-depth Key Safety Functions (KSFs), and o Identified cables required for the selected components and determined their routing.

- Performed Fire Area Assessments (identify pinch points - plant locations where a single fire may damage all success paths of a KSF).
- Managed pinch-points associated with fire-induced vulnerabilities during the outage. The process is depicted in Figures 4-5 and 4-6. The results are presented in Section 4.3.2.

Components were identified to support the KSFs of Reactivity, Core Decay Heat Removal, Containment, Inventory, and associated support functions. A model was developed in the NFPA 805 Analysis Database (Genesis Solution Suite, SAFE Module). Equipment was logically tied to the supported KSF. Power supplies, interlocks, and supporting equipment were logically tied to their parent component.
For those components which had not been previously analyzed in support of the at-power analysis or whose functional requirements may have been different for the NPO analysis, cable selection was performed in accordance with approved project procedures. Cables necessary to support the selected function of a component were selected and analyzed for fire impact.
PINGP Engineering Evaluation, EC 19843, "NFPA 805 LAR Attachment D - Non-Power Operation," references the fire area assessment, the identified pinch points, and general recommendations for administrative controls to reduce fire risk as well as a proposed strategy for recovering the KSF should a fire occur. In accordance with FAQ 07-0040 Revision 4, any area experiencing fire damage which eliminates all success paths for a KSF (without recovery actions outside the main control room) is considered a pinch point. Fire modeling was not used to eliminate any fire area from being a pinch point. The list of generic recommendations specified in PINGP Engineering Evaluation EC 19843, "NFPA 805 LAR Attachment D - Non-Power Operation," considers the following actions from FAQ 07-0040 Revision 4:
- Prohibition or limitation of hot work in fire areas during periods of increased vulnerability.
- Verification of operable detection and/or suppression in the vulnerable areas.
- Prohibition or limitation of combustible materials in fire areas during periods of increased vulnerability.
- Plant configuration changes (e.g., removing power from equipment once it is placed in its desired position).
- Provision of additional fire patrols at periodic intervals or other appropriate compensatory measures (such as surveillance cameras) during increased vulnerability.
- Use of recovery actions to mitigate potential losses of KSFs.
- Identification and monitoring insitu ignition sources for "fire precursors" (e.g., equipment temperatures).
- Reschedule the work to a period with lower risk or higher Defense-In-Depth (DID). Refer to Attachment D for more complete details. Based on consideration of the vulnerable areas and incorporation of generic recommendations from FAQ 07-0040 Revision 4 into appropriate plant procedures and practices, prior to implementation of NFPA 805, the performance goals (KSFs) for NPO will be fulfilled and the requirements of NFPA 805 will be met.
Implementation of the NPO fire area assessment results into the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant outage management processes will be completed as part of LAR implementation. (See Attachment S). PINGP Page 33 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements 4.4 Radioactive Release Performance Criteria 4.4.1 Overview of Evaluation Process The review of the fire protection program against NFPA 805 requirements for fire suppression related radioactive release was performed using the methodology contained in Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 04-02, "Guidance for Implementing a Risk-Informed, Performance-Based Fire Protection Program Under 10 CFR 50.48(c) and NFPA 805 Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) 09-0056. The methodology consisted of the following:
- A review of fire pre-plans and fire brigade training materials to identify fire protection program elements (e.g., systems / components / procedural control actions / flow paths, etc.) that are being credited to meet the radioactive release goals, objectives, and performance criteria during all plant operating modes, including full power and non-power conditions.
- A review of engineering controls to ensure containment of gaseous and liquid effluents (e.g., smoke and fire fighting agents). This review included all plant operating modes (including full power and non-power conditions). Otherwise, provided a bounding analysis, quantitative analysis, or other analysis that demonstrates that the limitations for instantaneous release of radioactive effluents specified in the unit's Technical Specifications or Offsite Dose Calculation Manual are met. 4.4.2 Results of the Evaluation Process The PINGP fire strategies are developed based on the fire detection zone alarms received in the control room and can cover one or more fire areas. The fire strategies were reviewed to screen them for applicability by fire area based on their potential to contain radioactive or contaminated materials. PINGP Engineering Evaluation EC 19772, "NFPA 805 LAR Attachment E, Radioactive Release," contains detailed evaluation bases and results regarding when a fire area is screened in (affects radioactive release) or screened out (cannot affect radioactive release). The radioactive release review determined the fire protection program will be compliant with the requirements of NFPA 805 and the guidance in NEI 04-02 and RG 1.205 upon completion of the implementation items identified in Attachment S. The review determined that radioactive release to any unrestricted area due to the direct effects of fire suppression activities (but not involving fuel damage) would be as low as reasonably achievable. The site specific review of associated fire event and fire suppression related radioactive release is summarized in Attachment E of this document, which is based on the NEI 04-02 Table G-1. As described in Attachment S, the Fire Strategies (PINGP-version of Pre-Fire Plans) will be revised to identify potential cross-contamination issues for each applicable fire area and fire detection zone. Information will be provided on cross contamination concerns to assist the fire brigade leader and Control Room personnel in determining the best available methods for minimizing cross contamination and radiological release based on the location of the fire. PINGP Page 34 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements As described in Attachment S, fire fighting instructions and brigade lesson plans will be revised to provide additional instructions on the control of the spread of contamination as a result of fire fighting activities. The responsibilities of each brigade member relative to limiting the spread of cross contamination when fighting fires in radiologically controlled areas will be incorporated into the instructions and lesson plans. Training materials for radiation protection will be revised as applicable to address their role in controlling the spread of contamination. As described in Attachment S, ventilation and runoff will be addressed with respect to the impact on the spread of contamination to adjacent radiologically controlled areas, radiologically clean areas and release to the exterior. For those fire areas without installed ventilation controls (and for those time periods where existing ventilation controls are not available), mitigative actions will be taken to utilize a combination of exhausting potentially contaminated smoke through adjacent areas with filtered ventilation or the use of portable filtered ventilation equipment. The mitigative actions will be based on the radiological conditions as monitored by radiation protection personnel and communicated to the fire brigade leader during the event. Potentially contaminated water will be controlled by the use of booms to limit the spread of contamination to adjacent radiologically controlled areas, radiologically clean areas and to the exterior. As described in Attachment S, a combination of containerization and administrative controls will be used limit the amount of exposed contaminated combustible materials in areas without filtered ventilation or where the spread of contaminated water to adjacent radiologically controlled areas, radiologically clean areas or to the exterior are potential concerns.
As described in Attachment S, a new fire strategy will be prepared to provide instructions for fighting fires in the Maintenance Storage Shed / Containment Access Facility, which is a newly-designated fire area with potentially-contaminated material in sea-land containers. 4.5 Fire PRA and Performance-Based Approaches RI-PB evaluations are an integral element of an NFPA 805 fire protection program. Key parts of RI-PB evaluations include:
- A Fire PRA (discussed in Section 4.5.1 and Attachments U, V, and W).
- NFPA 805 Performance-Based Approaches (discussed in Section 4.5.2). 4.5.1 Fire PRA Development and Assessment In accordance with the guidance in RG 1.205, a Fire PRA model was developed for PINGP in compliance with the requirements of Part 4 "Internal Fires at Power Probabilistic Risk Assessment Requirements," of the ASME and ANS combined PRA Standard, ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009, "Standard for Level 1/Large Early Release Frequency Probabilistic Risk Assessment for Nuclear Power Plant Application," (hereafter referred to as Fire PRA Standard). NSPM conducted a peer review by independent industry analysts in accordance with RG 1.200 prior to a risk-informed submittal. The resulting fire risk assessment model is used as the analytical tool to perform Fire Risk Evaluations during the transition process. PINGP Page 35 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements Section 4.5.1.1 describes the Internal Events PRA model. Section 4.5.1.2 describes the Fire PRA model. Section 4.5.1.3 describes the results and resolution of the peer review of the Fire PRA, and Section 4.5.1.4 describes insights gained from the Fire PRA. 4.5.1.1 Internal Events PRA The PINGP base internal events PRA, Revision 3.1, was the starting point for the Fire PRA. Previously in 2006, the PINGP PRA underwent a gap assessment against the Capability Category II requirements of ASME RA-S-2002, with ASME RA-Sa-2003 and ASME RA-Sb-2005 Addenda, ASME, 2005. To update the PINGP PRA to Capability Category II of the Standard, a large-effort PRA upgrade was planned and initiated in 2007.
At the conclusion of the PRA upgrade, NSPM completed the Revision 3.0 PRA model. An independent peer review team evaluated the PINGP Revision 3.0 PRA model against the most current combined PRA Standard, ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009, and RG 1.200, Revision 2. With the exception of the Internal Flooding analysis which was performed separately as described later, the PINGP Revision 3.0 Level 1 analysis evaluated core damage frequency (CDF) from all internal events and large early release frequency (LERF) utilizing the Westinghouse Owner's Group Simplified Level 2 Analysis Approach, WCAP-16341.
Facts and Observations (F&Os) were issued by the peer team as an output of the peer review. NSPM subsequently evaluated these for inclusion into the next revision of the PRA, Revision 3.1, which was used as the starting point for the Fire PRA. Attachment U discusses the peer review findings to illustrate the technical adequacy of the Internal Events PRA supporting the Fire PRA. In addition, NSPM recently updated the Internal Flooding analysis. The Internal Flooding analysis was amended to the Revision 3.1 PRA model in a sensitivity analysis to determine the risk contribution of Internal Flooding to overall risk. The analysis was peer reviewed against the most current combined PRA Standard, ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009, and RG 1.200, Revision 2, during a review performed in September 2012. Due to the timing of this review, peer review findings have not yet been addressed by NSPM. A draft version of the peer review findings is included in Attachment U and NSPM will provide final findings and resolution in a supplement to this LAR. 4.5.1.2 Fire PRA The fire PRA was developed using the internal events PRA as a starting point. The internal events PRA was modified to capture the effects of fire both as an initiator of an event and as a potential failure mode of affected circuits and individual targets. The fire PRA is a unit-specific analysis that takes into account inter-unit dependencies. The Fire PRA was quantified using the CAFTA and PRAQuant software. A Fire PRA model was developed for NSPM using the guidance provided in NUREG/CR-6850/EPRI TR-1011989, Supplement 1 to NUREG/CR-6850/EPRI 1019259, and draft NUREG-1921. A Peer Review of the PINGP Fire PRA against the requirements of Section 4 of the combined PRA Standard, ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009, and RG 1.200, Revision 2, was PINGP Page 36 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements conducted the week of May 7 through May 11, 2012. There were not any previously un-reviewed methods used to complete the PINGP Fire PRA. The Fire PRA quality and insights are discussed in Attachments V and W, respectively. Fire Model Utilization in the Application Fire modeling was performed as part of the Fire PRA development (NFPA 805 Section 4.2.4.2). RG 1.205, Regulatory Position 4.2 and Section 5.1.2 of NEI 04-02, provide guidance to identify fire models that are acceptable to the NRC for plants implementing a risk-informed, performance-based licensing basis. The following fire models were used:
- Flame Height (Method of Heskestad)
- Plume Centerline Temperature (Method of Heskestad)
- Radiant Heat Flux (Point Source Method)
- Hot Gas Layer (Method of MQH)
- Hot gas Layer (Method of Beyler)
- Hot Gas Layer (Method of Foote, Pagni, and Alvares [FPA])
- Hot Gas Layer (Method of Deal and Beyler)
- Ceiling Jet Temperature (Method of Alpert)
- Hot Gas Layer Calculations using Fire Dynamics Simulator (Version 5)
- Hot Gas Layer Calculations using CFAST (Version 6)
- Smoke Detection Actuation Correlation (Method of Heskestad and Delichatsios)
- Heat Detection Actuation Correlation
- Sprinkler Activation Correlation
- Control Room Abandonment Calculation using FDS
- Corner and Wall HRR
- Correlation for Heat Release Rates of Cables (Method of Lee)
- Fire Door Closure Calculation using FDS (Version 5) The acceptability of the use of these fire models is included in Attachment J. 4.5.1.3 Results of Fire PRA Peer Review The PINGP Fire PRA, Revision 0, was peer reviewed against the requirements of ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009, Part 4, and in accordance with the peer review guidelines of NEI 07-12. This peer review was conducted the week of May 7 through May 11, 2012. Section 4 of the ASME/ANS PRA Standard contains a total of 183 Supporting Requirements (SRs) under 13 technical elements, and configuration control from Section 1.5. Of these 183 SRs, eighteen (18) were determined to be not applicable to the PINGP Fire PRA either due to the fact that the requirements were not applicable to the PINGP approach, or the technical element was not used for the PINGP analysis (i.e., quantitative screening, QNS). For the PINGP Fire PRA about 92% of the SRs were assessed at Capability Category II or higher, including 5% of the SRs being PINGP Page 37 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements assessed at Capability Category III. The PINGP Fire PRA had an additional 3% of the applicable SRs assessed at the CC-I level. The PINGP Fire PRA does not meet 5% of the applicable SRs. There were no SRs "Not Reviewed" by the Peer Review Team. There were also no "Unreviewed Analysis Methods" identified by the Team.
The Peer Review also noted a total of 56 Facts and Observations (F&Os). These included fifteen (15) "Suggestions," forty (40) "Findings" and one (1) "Best Practice." The Finding F&Os and their disposition with respect to the NFPA 805 License Amendment Request are provided in Table V-1, organized by Technical Element and Supporting Requirement. The Finding F&Os covered a variety of topics, but many dealt with the need to incorporate additional detailed analyses to develop results that are more realistic rather than bounding. Several others were on the need to better identify assumptions and discuss their impact on overall results. Suggestion F&Os largely involve optional clarifications or improvements. The Best Practice F&O was issued for the Seismic Fire Interaction Technical Element. Attachment V contains a summary of the FPRA peer review F&Os and their disposition by NSPM. 4.5.1.4 Risk Insights Risk insights were documented as part of the development of the Fire PRA. The total plant fire CDF/LERF was derived using the NUREG/CR-6850 methodology for fire PRA development and is useful in identifying the areas of the plant where fire risk is greatest. A review of the fire initiating events that collectively represent 95% of the calculated fire risk is included as Attachment W. 4.5.2 Performance-Based Approaches NFPA 805 outlines the approaches for performing performance-based analyses. As specified in Section 4.2.4, there are generally two types of analyses performed for the performance-based approach:
- Fire Modeling (NFPA 805 Section 4.2.4.1).
- Fire Risk Evaluation (FRE, NFPA 805 Section 4.2.4.2). The PINGP NFPA 805 transition implemented the FRE approach per NFPA 805 Section 4.2.4.2 to evaluate the risk significance and acceptability of the VFDRs. 4.5.2.1 Fire Modeling Approach The fire modeling approach per NFPA 805 Section 4.2.4.1 was not utilized for the PINGP NFPA 805 transition. 4.5.2.2 Fire Risk Approach Overview of Evaluation Process The Fire Risk Evaluations were completed as part of the PINGP NFPA 805 transition. These Fire Risk Evaluations were developed using the process described below. This methodology is based upon the requirements of NFPA 805, industry guidance in NEI 04-02, and RG 1.205. These are summarized in Table 4-1. PINGP Page 38 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements Table 4-1 Fire Risk Evaluation Guidance Summary Table Document Section(s) Topic NFPA 805 2.2(h), 4.2.4, A.2.2(h), A.2.4.4, D.5 Change Evaluation (2.2(h), 2.2.9, 2.4.4 A.2.2(h), A.2.4.4, D.5) Risk of Recovery Actions (4.2.4) Use of Fire Risk Evaluation (4.2.4.2) NEI 04-02 Revision 2 4.4, 5.3, Appendix B, Appendix I, Appendix J Change Evaluation, Change Evaluation Forms (App. I), No specific discussion of Fire Risk Evaluation RG 1.205 Revision 1 C.2.2.4, C.2.4, C.3.2 Risk Evaluations (C.2.2.4) Recovery Actions (C.2.4) During the transition to NFPA 805, variances from the deterministic approach in Section 4.2.3 of NFPA 805 were evaluated using a Fire Risk Evaluation per Section 4.2.4.2 of NFPA 805. A Fire Risk Evaluation was performed for each fire area containing variances from the deterministic requirements of Section 4.2.3 of NFPA 805 (VFDRs). If the Fire Risk Evaluation meets the acceptance criteria, this is confirmation that a success path effectively remains free of fire damage and that the performance-based approach is acceptable per Section 4.2.4.2 of NFPA 805. The Fire Risk Evaluation process consists of the following steps (Figure 4-7 depicts the Fire Risk Evaluation process used during transition. This is generally based on FAQ 07-0054 Revision 1 (ML110140183): Step 1 - Preparation for the Fire Risk Evaluation.
- Definition of the Variances from the Deterministic Requirements. The definition of the VFDR includes a description of problem statement and the section of NFPA 805 that is not met, type of VFDR (e.g., separation issue or degraded fire protection system), and proposed evaluation per applicable NFPA 805 section.
- Preparatory Evaluation - Fire Risk Evaluation Team Review. Using the information obtained during the development of NEI 04-02, Table B-3 and the Fire PRA, a team review of the VFDR was performed. The FRE review team included a Safe Shutdown/NSCA Engineer, a Fire Protection Engineer, and a Fire PRA Engineer. The purpose and objective of this team review was to address the following: o Review of the Fire PRA modeling treatment of VFDR o Ensure discrepancies were captured and resolved Step 2 - Performed the Fire Risk Evaluation
- The Evaluator coordinated as necessary with the Safe Shutdown/NSCA Engineer, Fire Protection Engineer and Fire PRA Engineer to assess the VFDR using the Fire Risk Evaluation process to perform the following: o Change in Risk Calculation with consideration for additional risk of recovery actions and required fire protection systems and features due to fire risk. PINGP Page 39 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements o Fire area change in risk summary. Step 3 - Reviewed the Acceptance Criteria
- The acceptance criteria for the Fire Risk Evaluation consist of two parts. One is quantitatively based and the other is qualitatively based. The quantitative figures of merit are CDF and LERF. The qualitative factors are defense-in-depth and safety margin. o Risk Acceptance Criteria. The transition risk evaluation was measured quantitatively for acceptability using the CDF and LERF criteria from RG 1.174, as clarified in RG 1.205 Regulatory Position 2.2.4. o Defense-in-Depth. A review of the impact of the change on defense-in-depth was performed, using the guidance from NEI 04-02. NFPA 805 defines defense-in-depth as: - Preventing fires from starting - Rapidly detecting fires and controlling and extinguishing promptly those fires that do occur, thereby limiting damage - Providing adequate level of fire protection for structures, systems and components important to safety; so that a fire that is not promptly extinguished will not prevent essential plant safety functions from being performed. In general, the defense-in-depth requirement was considered to be satisfied if the proposed change does not result in a substantial imbalance among these elements (or echelons). The review of defense-in-depth was qualitative and addressed each of the elements with respect to the proposed change. Defense-in-depth was performed on a fire area basis. Fire protection features and systems relied upon to ensure defense-in-depth were identified as a result of the assessment of defense-in-depth. o Safety Margin Assessment. A review of the impact of the change on safety margin was performed. An acceptable set of guidelines for making that assessment is summarized below. Other equivalent acceptance guidelines may also be used. - Codes and standards or their alternatives accepted for use by the NRC are met, and - Safety analysis acceptance criteria in the licensing basis (e.g., FSAR, supporting analyses) are met, or provides sufficient margin to account for analysis and data uncertainty. The requirements related to safety margins for the change analysis are described for each of the specific analysis types used in support of the FRE.

These variances were dispositioned using the fire risk evaluation process. Each variance dispositioned using a Fire Risk Evaluation was assessed against the Fire Risk Evaluation acceptance criteria of CDF and LERF; and maintenance of defense-in-depth and safety margin criteria from Section 5.3.5 of NEI 04-02 and RG 1.205. The results of these calculations are summarized in Attachment C. Following completion of transition activities and planned modifications and program changes, the plant will be compliant with 10 CFR 50.48(c). Risk Change Due to NFPA 805 Transition In accordance with the guidance in RG 1.205, Section C.2.2.4, Risk Evaluations, risk increases or decreases for each fire area using Fire Risk Evaluations and the overall plant should be provided. Note that the risk increase due to the use of recovery actions was included in the risk change for transition for each fire area. RG 1.205, Section C.2.2.4.2 states in part "The total increase or decrease in risk associated with the implementation of NFPA 805 for the overall plant should be calculated by summing the risk increases and decreases for each fire area (including any risk increases resulting from previously approved recovery actions). The total risk increase should be consistent with the acceptance guidelines in Regulatory Guide 1.174. Note that the acceptance guidelines of Regulatory Guide 1.174 may require the total CDF, LERF, or both, to evaluate changes where the risk impact exceeds specific guidelines. If the additional risk associated with previously approved recovery actions is greater than the acceptance guidelines in Regulatory Guide 1.174, then the net change in total plant risk incurred by any proposed alternatives to the deterministic criteria in NFPA 805, Chapter 4 (other than the previously approved recovery actions), should be risk neutral or represent a risk decrease." The risk increases and decreases are provided in Attachment W. 4.6 Monitoring Program 4.6.1 Overview of NFPA 805 Requirements for the NFPA 805 Monitoring Program Section 2.6 of NFPA 805 states: "A monitoring program shall be established to ensure that the availability and reliability of the fire protection systems and features are maintained and to assess the performance of the fire protection program in meeting the performance criteria. Monitoring shall ensure that the assumptions in the engineering analysis remain valid." PINGP Page 42 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements PINGP Page 43 The intent of the monitoring review is to confirm the adequacy of the existing surveillance, inspection, testing, compensatory measures, and oversight processes for transition to NFPA 805. This review considers the following:
- The adequacy of the scope of structures, systems and components within existing plant programs.
- The performance criteria for the availability and reliability of the required structures, systems and components.
- The adequacy of the plant corrective action program in determining causes of equipment and programmatic failures and in minimizing their recurrence. 4.6.2 Overview of Post-Transition NFPA 805 Monitoring Program This section provides an overview of the post-transition NFPA 805 Monitoring Program process. The Monitoring program will be implemented after the safety evaluation issuance as part of the fire protection program transition to NFPA 805. The monitoring process is comprised of four phases:
- Phase 1 - Scoping
- Phase 2 - Screening Using Risk Criteria
- Phase 3 - Risk Target Value Determination
- Phase 4 - Monitoring Implementation Figure 4-8 provides detail on the Phase 1 and 2 processes. Phase 1 - Scoping In order to meet the NFPA 805 requirements for monitoring, the following categories of SSCs and programmatic elements will be reviewed during the implementation phase for inclusion in the NFPA 805 monitoring program:
- Structures, Systems, and Components required to comply with NFPA 805, specifically: o Fire protection systems and features - Required by the Nuclear Safety Capability Assessment - Modeled in the fire PRA - Required by Chapter 3 of NFPA 805 o Nuclear Safety Capability Assessment equipment4 - Nuclear safety equipment
- Fire PRA equipment - NPO equipment o SSCs relied upon to meet radioactive release criteria
- Fire Protection Programmatic Elements
- Radioactive Release Engineered Systems and Features 4 For the purpose of the NFPA 805 Monitoring, "NSCA equipment" is intended to include Nuclear Safety Equipment, Fire PRA equipment, and NPO equipment.
Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements Phase 2 - Screening Using Risk Criteria The equipment from Phase 1 scoping will be screened to determine the appropriate level of NFPA 805 monitoring. As a minimum, the SSCs identified in Phase 1 should be part of an inspection and test program and a system/program health program. If not in the current program, the SSCs will be added in order to assure that the criteria can be met reliably. The following screening process will be used to determine those SSCs that may require additional monitoring beyond normal surveillance activities. 1. Fire Protection Systems and Features Those fire protection systems and features identified in Phase 1 would be candidates for additional monitoring in the NFPA 805 program commensurate with risk significance. Risk significance may be accomplished at the component, programmatic element, and/or functional level. Since risk is evaluated at the compartment level or fire area level, criteria must be developed to determine those analysis units for which the fire protection SSCs contained within the area are considered risk significant. Screening compartments and fire areas will also include considerations for design/operation/ maintenance limitations. For instance, fire detection should not subdivide systems beyond the system/train/channel level used in normal operation/maintenance. The fire PRA is the primary tool used to establish the risk significance criteria and performance bounding guidelines. The screening thresholds used to determine risk significant analysis units are those that meet the following criteria: Risk Achievement Worth (RAW) of the monitored parameter 2.0 (AND) either Core Damage Frequency (CDF) x (RAW) 1.0E-7 per year (OR) Large Early Release Frequency (LERF) x (RAW) 1.0E-8 per year CDF, LERF, and RAW(monitored parameter) are calculated for each fire area. The 'monitored parameter' will be established by licensee at a level commensurate with the amenability of the parameter to risk measurement (e.g., a fire barrier may be more conducive to risk measurement than an individual barrier penetration). If compartments are used that are smaller than fire areas, sufficient basis will be documented. The monitoring program will include the appropriate fire protection program SSCs based on the criteria above. Additional fire protection program SSCs may also be screened in based on plant-specific considerations. 2. Nuclear Safety Capability Assessment Equipment NSCA equipment may already be appropriately monitored by the Maintenance Rule. A comparison of NSCA equipment to the SSCs that are monitored in the Maintenance Rule program will be performed to determine what equipment may require additional NFPA 805 Monitoring. For NSCAs SSCs not monitored by the Maintenance Rule, the PINGP Page 44 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements basis for inclusion or exclusion of the SSCs in the NFPA 805 monitoring program will be documented, and the process used to make this determination will be fully described. The fire PRA will be used to identify high-safety-significant (HSS) NSCA SSCs that require monitoring. The Maintenance Rule guidelines differentiating HSS from low-safety-significant (LSS) SSCs will be used. High-safety-significant NSCA SSCs not currently monitored in Maintenance Rule will be included in the PINGP Maintenance Rule program. Revisions to PINGP Procedure H24, "Maintenance Rule Program," will be completed as an Implementation Item described in Attachment S, Table S-3. All NSCA SSCs that are not HSS should be considered LSS and need not be included in the monitoring program. For fires originating during non-power operational modes, the qualitative use of fire prevention to manage fire risk during Higher Risk Evolutions does not lend itself to quantitative risk measurement. Therefore, fire risk management effectiveness is monitored programmatically similar to combustible material controls and other fire prevention programs. Additional monitoring beyond inspection and test programs and system/program health programs is not considered necessary. 3. SSCs Relied upon for Radioactive Release Criteria The evaluations performed to meet the radioactive release performance criteria are qualitative in nature. The SSCs relied upon to meet the radioactive release performance criteria are not amenable to quantitative risk measurement. Additionally, since radioactive releases due to effluents from fires will be less than releases due to core damage and containment breach, equipment relied upon to keep these releases as low as reasonably achievable is considered inherently low risk. Therefore, additional monitoring beyond inspection and test programs and system/program health programs is not considered necessary. 4. Monitoring of Fire Protection Programmatic Elements Monitoring of programmatic elements is required in order to "assess the performance of the fire protection program in meeting the performance criteria." Programmatic aspects include:
- Transient Combustible Control; Transient Exclusion Zones
- Hot Work Control; Administrative Controls
- Fire Watch Programs; Program compliance and effectiveness
- Fire Brigade Effectiveness Fire protection health reports, self-assessments, regulator and insurance company reports provide inputs to the monitoring program. The monitoring of programmatic elements and program effectiveness will be performed as part of the management of engineering programs. This monitoring is more qualitative in nature since the programs do not lend themselves to the numerical methods of reliability and availability. These programs form the bases for many of the analytical assumptions used to evaluate compliance with NFPA 805 requirements. PINGP Page 45 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements Phase 3 - Risk Target Value Determination Phase 3 consists of using the Fire PRA, or other processes as appropriate, to determine target values of reliability and availability for the HSS fire protection/NSCA SSCs and programmatic elements established in Phase 2 as requiring additional monitoring beyond inspection and test programs, and system/program health programs. Failure criteria are established by an expert panel or evaluation based on the required fire protection and nuclear safety capability SSCs and programmatic elements assumed level of performance in the supporting analyses. Action levels are established for the SSCs at the component level, program level, or functionally through the use of the pseudo system or 'performance monitoring group' concept. An action level will be developed for the NSCA SSCs that are included in a monitoring program. Since the HSS SSCs have been identified using the Maintenance Rule guidelines, the associated SSC specific performance criteria will be established as in the Maintenance Rule, provided the criteria are consistent with Fire PRA assumptions. The actual action level is determined based on the number of component, program or functional failures within a sufficiently bounding time period (~2-3 operating cycles). Adverse trends and unacceptable levels of availability, reliability, and performance will be reviewed against established action levels. The Monitoring Program failure criteria and action level targets will be documented. Phase 4 - Monitoring Implementation Phase 4 is the implementation of the monitoring program, once the monitoring scope and criteria are established. Monitoring consists of periodically gathering, trending, and evaluating information pertinent to the performance, and/or availability of the SSCs and comparing the results with the established goals and performance criteria to verify that the goals are being met. Results of monitoring activities will be analyzed in a timely manner to assure that appropriate action is taken. The corrective action process will be used to address performance of fire protection and nuclear safety SSCs that do not meet performance criteria. For fire protection and NSCA SSCs that are monitored, unacceptable levels of availability, reliability, and performance will be reviewed against the established action levels. If an action level is triggered, corrective action will be initiated to identify the negative trend. A corrective action plan will then be developed using the appropriate licensee process. Once the plan has been implemented, improved performance should return the SSC back to below the established action level. A periodic assessment will be performed (e.g., at a frequency of approximately every two to three operating cycles), taking into account, where practical, industry wide operating experience. This will be conducted as part of other established assessment activities. Issues that will be addressed include:
- Review systems with performance criteria. Do performance criteria still effectively monitor the functions of the system? Do the criteria still monitor the effectiveness of the fire protection and nuclear safety capability assessment systems? PINGP Page 46 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements PINGP Page 47
- Have the supporting analyses been revised such that the performance criteria are no longer applicable or new fire protection and nuclear safety capability assessment SSCs, programmatic elements and/ or functions need to be in scope?
- Based on the performance during the assessment period, are there any trends in system performance that should be addressed that are not being addressed?

The analyses are performed in accordance with NSPM's processes for ensuring assumptions are clearly defined, that results are easily understood, that results are clearly and consistently described, and that sufficient detail is provided to allow future review of the entire analyses. Analyses, as defined by NFPA 805 Section 2.4, performed to demonstrate compliance with 10 CFR 50.48(c) will be maintained for the life of the plant and organized to facilitate review for accuracy and adequacy. Note these analyses do not include items such as periodic tests, hot work permits, fire impairments, etc. The Fire Protection Design Basis Document described in Section 2.7.1.2 of NFPA 805 and necessary supporting documentation described in Section 2.7.1.3 of NFPA 805 will be created as part of transition to 10 CFR 50.48(c) to ensure program implementation following receipt of the safety evaluation. Appropriate cross references will be established to supporting documents as required by NSPM processes. Figure 4-9 depicts the planned post-transition documentation and relationships. PINGP Page 48 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements Figure 4 NFPA 805 Planned Post-Transition Documents and Relationships PINGP Page 49 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements 4.7.2 Compliance with Configuration Control Requirements in Section 2.7.2 and 2.2.9 of NFPA 805 Program documentation established, revised, or utilized in support of compliance with 10 CFR 50.48(c) is subject to NSPM configuration control processes that meet the requirements of Section 2.7.2 of NFPA 805. This includes the appropriate procedures and configuration control processes for ensuring that changes impacting the fire protection program are reviewed appropriately. The RI-PB post transition change process methodology is based upon the requirements of NFPA 805, industry guidance in NEI 04-02, and RG 1.205. These requirements are summarized in Table 4-2. Table 4-2 Change Evaluation Guidance Summary Table Document Section(s) Topic NFPA 805 2.2(h), 2.2.9, 2.4.4, A.2.2(h), A.2.4.4, D.5 Change Evaluation NEI 04-02 5.3, Appendix B, Appendix I, Appendix J Change Evaluation, Change Evaluation Forms (Appendix I) RG 1.205 C.2.2.4, C.3.1, C.3.2, C.4.3 Risk Evaluation, Standard License Condition, Change Evaluation Process, Fire PRA The Plant Change Evaluation Process consists of the following 4 steps and is depicted in Figure 4-10:
- Defining the Change
- Performing the Preliminary Risk Screening
- Performing the Risk Evaluation
- Evaluating the Acceptance Criteria Change Definition The Change Evaluation process begins by defining the change or altered condition to be examined and the baseline configuration as defined by the Design Basis and Licensing Basis (NFPA 805 Licensing Basis post-transition). 1. The baseline is defined as that plant condition or configuration that is consistent with the Design Basis and Licensing Basis (NFPA 805 Licensing Basis post-transition). 2. The changed or altered condition or configuration that is not consistent with the Design Basis and Licensing Basis is defined as the proposed alternative. Preliminary Risk Review Once the definition of the change is established, a screening is then performed to identify and resolve minor changes to the fire protection program. This screening is consistent with fire protection regulatory review processes in place at nuclear plants under traditional licensing bases. This screening process is modeled after the NEI 02-PINGP Page 50 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements 03 process. This process will address most administrative changes (e.g., changes to the combustible control program, organizational changes, etc.). The characteristics of an acceptable screening process that meets the "assessment of the acceptability of risk" requirement of Section 2.4.4 of NFPA 805 are:
- The quality of the screen is sufficient to ensure that potentially greater than minimal risk increases receive detailed risk assessments appropriate to the level of risk.
- The screening process must be documented and be available for inspection by the NRC.
- The screening process does not pose undue evaluation or maintenance burden. If any of the above is not met, proceed to the Risk Evaluation step. Risk Evaluation The screening is followed by engineering evaluations that may include fire modeling and risk assessment techniques. The results of these evaluations are then compared to the acceptance criteria. Changes that satisfy the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 2.4.4, and the license condition can be implemented within the framework provided by NFPA 805. Changes that do not satisfy the acceptance criteria cannot be implemented within this framework. The acceptance criteria require that the resultant change in CDF and LERF be consistent with the license condition. The acceptance criteria also include consideration of defense-in-depth and safety margin, which would typically be qualitative in nature. The risk evaluation involves the application of fire modeling analyses and risk assessment techniques to obtain a measure of the changes in risk associated with the proposed change. In certain circumstances, an initial evaluation in the development of the risk assessment could be a simplified analysis using bounding assumptions provided the use of such assumptions does not unnecessarily challenge the acceptance criteria discussed below. Acceptability Determination The Change Evaluations are assessed for acceptability using the CDF (change in core damage frequency) and LERF (change in large early release frequency) criteria from the license condition. The proposed changes are also assessed to ensure they are consistent with the defense-in-depth philosophy and that sufficient safety margins were maintained. PINGP Page 51 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements Figure 4-10 Plant Change Evaluation [NEI 04-02 Figure 5-1] Note references in Figure refer to NEI 04-02 Sections PINGP Page 52 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements The PINGP Fire Protection Program configuration is defined by the program documentation. To the greatest extent possible, the existing configuration control processes for modifications, calculations and analyses, and Fire Protection Program License Basis Reviews will be utilized to maintain configuration control of the Fire Protection program documents. The configuration control procedures which govern the various PINGP documents and databases that currently exist will be revised to reflect the new NFPA 805 licensing bases requirements. Several NFPA 805 document types such as: NSCA Supporting Information, Non-Power Mode NSCA Treatment, etc., generally require new control procedures and processes to be developed since they are new documents and databases created as a result of the transition to NFPA 805. The new procedures will be modeled after the existing processes for similar types of documents and databases. System level design basis documents will be revised to reflect the NFPA 805 role that the system components now play. The process for capturing the impact of proposed changes to the plant on the Fire Protection Program will continue to be a multiple step review. The first step of the review is an initial screening for process users to determine if there is a potential to impact the Fire Protection program as defined under NFPA 805 through a series of screening questions/checklists contained in one or more procedures depending upon the configuration control process being used. Reviews that identify potential Fire Protection program impacts will be sent to qualified individuals (Fire Protection, Safe Shutdown/NSCA, Fire PRA) to ascertain the program impacts, if any. If Fire Protection program impacts are determined to exist as a result of the proposed change, the issue would be resolved by one of the following:
- Deterministic Approach: Comply with NFPA 805 Chapter 3 and 4.2.3 requirements.
- Performance-Based Approach: Utilize the NFPA 805 change process developed in accordance with NEI 04-02, RG 1.205, and the PINGP NFPA 805 fire protection license condition to assess the acceptability of the proposed change. This process would be used to determine if the proposed change could be implemented "as-is" or whether prior NRC approval of the proposed change is required. This process follows the requirements in NFPA 805 and the guidance outlined in RG 1.174 which requires the use of qualified individuals, procedures that require calculations be subject to independent review and verification, record retention, peer review, and a corrective action program that ensures appropriate actions are taken when errors are discovered.
Plant procedures will be developed (or existing procedures revised, as appropriate) to govern the configuration control processes required by NFPA 805. See Attachment S, Table S-3, for associated implementation actions. PINGP Page 53 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements 4.7.3 Compliance with Quality Requirements in Section 2.7.3 of NFPA 805 Fire Protection Program Quality NSPM will continue to maintain the existing Fire Protection Quality Assurance program. During the transition to 10 CFR 50.48(c), NSPM performed work in accordance with the quality requirements of Section 2.7.3 of NFPA 805. Fire PRA Quality Configuration control of the Fire PRA model will be maintained by integrating the Fire PRA model into the existing processes used to ensure configuration control of the internal events PRA model. This process complies with Section 5 of the ASME Standard for PRA Quality and ensures that NSPM maintains an as-built, as-operated PRA model of the plant. The process has been peer reviewed. Quality assurance of the Fire PRA is assured via the same processes applied to the internal events model. This process follows the guidance outlined in RG 1.174 which requires the use of qualified individuals, procedures that require calculations be subject to independent review, verification, or checking, record retention, peer review, and a corrective action program that ensures appropriate actions are taken when errors are discovered. Although the entire scope of the formal 10CFR50 Appendix B program is not applied to the PRA models or processes in general, often parts of the program are applied as a convenient method of complying with the requirements of RG 1.174. For instance, the procedures which address software control and the corrective action program for the PINGP 10CFR50 Appendix B program are applied to the PRA program. With respect to Quality Assurance Program requirements for independent reviews of calculations and evaluations, those existing requirements for Fire Protection Program documents will remain unchanged. NSPM specifically requires that the calculations and evaluations in support of the NFPA 805 LAR, exclusive of the Fire PRA, be performed within the scope of the QA program which requires independent review as defined by NSPM procedures. As recommended by NUREG/CR-6850, the sources of uncertainty in the Fire PRA were identified and specific parameters were analyzed in support of the NFPA 805 Fire Risk Evaluation process. Specifically with regard to uncertainty, uncertainty associated with Fire PRA parameters was qualitatively addressed in Fire PRA Uncertainty Analysis Notebook. While the removal of conservatism inherent in the Fire PRA is a long-term goal, the Fire PRA results were deemed sufficient for evaluating the risk associated with this application. While NSPM continues to strive toward a more "realistic" estimate of fire risk, use of mean values continues to be the best estimate of fire risk. During the Fire Risk Evaluation process, the uncertainty and sensitivity associated with specific Fire PRA parameters were considerations in the evaluation of the change in risk relative to the applicable acceptance thresholds.

NFPA 805 Section 2.7.3.2 - Verification and Validation Calculational models and numerical methods used in support of compliance with 10 CFR 50.48(c) were verified and validated as required by Section 2.7.3.2 of NFPA 805. NFPA 805 Section 2.7.3.3 - Limitations of Use Engineering methods and numerical models used in support of compliance with 10 CFR 50.48(c) are used and were used appropriately as required by Section 2.7.3.3 of NFPA 805. NFPA 805 Section 2.7.3.4 - Qualification of Users Cognizant personnel who use and apply engineering analysis and numerical methods in support of compliance with 10 CFR 50.48(c) are competent and experienced as required by Section 2.7.3.4 of NFPA 805. For personnel performing fire modeling or Fire PRA development and evaluation, NSPM will develop and maintain qualification requirements for individuals assigned various tasks. Position Specific Guides will be developed to identify and document required training and mentoring to ensure individuals are appropriately qualified per the requirements of NFPA 805 Section 2.7.3.4 to perform assigned work. These implementation items are identified in Attachment S-3. NFPA 805 Section 2.7.3.5 - Uncertainty Analysis Uncertainty analyses were performed as required by 2.7.3.5 of NFPA 805 and the results were considered in the context of the application. This is of particular interest in fire modeling and Fire PRA development. 4.8 Summary of Results 4.8.1 Results of the Fire Area Review A summary of the NFPA 805 compliance basis and the required fire protection systems and features is provided in Attachment C, NEI 04-02, Table B-3, "Fire Area Review." The table provides the following information from NEI 04-02, Table B-3:
- Fire Area / Fire Zone: Fire Area/Zone Identifier.
- Description: Fire Area/Zone Description.
- NFPA 805 Regulatory Basis: Post-transition NFPA 805 Chapter 4 compliance basis (Note: Compliance is determined on a Fire Area basis therefore a compliance basis is not provided for individual fire zones.)
- Required Fire Protection System / Feature: Detection / suppression required in the Fire Area based on NFPA 805 Chapter 4 compliance. Other Required PINGP Page 55 Northern States Power - Minnesota 4.0 Compliance with NFPA 805 Requirements Features may include Electrical Raceway Fire Barrier Systems, fire barriers, etc. The documentation of required fire protection systems and features does not include the documentation of the fire area boundaries. Fire area boundaries are required and documentation of the fire area boundaries has been performed as part of reviews of engineering evaluations, licensing actions, or as part of the reviews of the NEI 04-02 Table B-1 process. The basis for the requirement of the fire protection system / feature is designated as follows: o S - Separation Criteria: Systems/Features required for Chapter 4 Separation Criteria in Section 4.2.3. o E - EEEE Systems/Features required for acceptability of Existing Engineering Equivalency Evaluations (Section 2.2.7). o L - Licensing Action Criteria - Systems/Features required for acceptability of NRC approved Licensing Action (i.e., Exemptions) (Section 2.2.7). o R - Risk Criteria: Systems/Features required to meet the Risk Criteria for the Performance-Based Approach (Section 4.2.4). o D - Defense-in-depth Criteria: Systems/Features required to maintain adequate balance of Defense-in-Depth for a Performance-Based Approach (Section 4.2.4). Attachment W contains the results of the Fire Risk Evaluations, additional risk of recovery actions, and the change in risk on a fire area basis. 4.8.2 Plant Modifications and Items to be Completed During the Implementation Phase Planned modifications, studies, and evaluations to comply with NFPA 805 are described in Attachment S. These actions were identified in PINGP Engineering Evaluation EC 19648, "Attachment S - Plant Modifications and Confirmatory Items." Table S-1 identifies that no plant modifications associated with the transition to NFPA 805 have been completed. Table S-2 summarizes plant modifications that are committed for implementation. Table S-3 provides a list of those items (e.g., procedure changes, process updates, and training of affected plant personnel) that will be completed prior to the implementation of the new NFPA 805 Fire Protection Program at PINGP. The Fire PRA model represents the as-built, as-operated and maintained plant as it will be configured at the completion of the transition to NFPA 805. The Fire PRA model includes credit for the planned implementation of the modifications listed in Attachment S. Following completion of the implementation items listed in Attachment S, such as further development of procedure changes and training, additional refinements may need to be incorporated into the Fire PRA based on industry initiatives. As of June 2012 when NSPM reviewed outstanding modifications for incorporation into the Fire PRA, no other significant plant changes are outstanding with respect to their inclusion in the Fire PRA model. Additional modifications discussed in Attachment S have no direct impact on the fire risk quantification results.

Northern States Power - Minnesota 5.0 Regulatory Evaluation
5.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
5.1 Introduction - 10 CFR 50.48 On July 16, 2004 the NRC amended 10 CFR 50.48, Fire Protection, to add a new subsection, 10 CFR 50.48(c), which establishes alternative fire protection requirements. 10 CFR 50.48 endorses, with exceptions, NFPA 805, Performance-Based Standard for Fire Protection for Light Water Reactor Electric Generating Plants - 2001 Edition (NFPA 805), as a voluntary alternative for demonstrating compliance with 10 CFR 50.48 Section (b), Appendix R, and Section (f), Decommissioning. The voluntary adoption of 10 CFR 50.48(c) by PINGP does not eliminate the need to comply with 10 CFR 50.48(a) and 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, GDC 3, Fire Protection. The NRC addressed the overall adequacy of the regulations during the promulgation of 10 CFR 50.48(c) (Reference FR Notice 69 FR 33536 dated June 16, 2004, ML041340086). "NFPA 805 does not supersede the requirements of GDC 3, 10 CFR 50.48(a), or 10 CFR 50.48(f). Those regulatory requirements continue to apply to licensees that adopt NFPA 805. However, under NFPA 805, the means by which GDC 3 or 10 CFR 50.48(a) requirements may be met is different than under 10 CFR 50.48(b). Specifically, whereas GDC 3 refers to SSCs important to safety, NFPA 805 identifies fire protection systems and features required to meet the Chapter 1 performance criteria through the methodology in Chapter 4 of NFPA 805. Also, under NFPA 805, the 10 CFR 50.48(a)(2)(iii) requirement to limit fire damage to SSCs important to safety so that the capability to safely shut down the plant is ensured is satisfied by meeting the performance criteria in Section 1.5.1 of NFPA 805. The Section 1.5.1 criteria include provisions for ensuring that reactivity control, inventory and pressure control, decay heat removal, vital auxiliaries, and process monitoring are achieved and maintained. This methodology specifies a process to identify the fire protection systems and features required to achieve the nuclear safety performance criteria in Section 1.5 of NFPA 805. Once a determination has been made that a fire protection system or feature is required to achieve the performance criteria of Section 1.5, its design must meet any applicable requirements of NFPA 805, Chapter 3. Having identified the required fire protection systems and features, the licensee selects either a deterministic or performance-based approach to demonstrate that the performance criteria are satisfied. This process satisfies the GDC 3 requirement to design and locate SSCs important to safety to minimize the probability and effects of fires and explosions." (Reference FR Notice 69 FR 33536 dated June 16, 2004, ML041340086) The new rule provides actions that may be taken to establish compliance with 10 CFR 50.48(a), which requires each operating nuclear power plant to have a fire protection program plan that satisfies GDC 3, as well as specific requirements in that section. The transition process described in 10 CFR 50.48(c)(3)(ii) provides, in pertinent parts, that a licensee intending to adopt the new rule must, among other things, "modify the fire protection plan required by paragraph (a) of that section to reflect the licensee's decision to comply with NFPA 805." Therefore, to the extent that the PINGP Page 58 Northern States Power - Minnesota 5.0 Regulatory Evaluation contents of the existing fire protection program plan required by 10 CFR 50.48(a) are inconsistent with NFPA 805, the fire protection program plan must be modified to achieve compliance with the requirements in NFPA 805. All other requirements of 10 CFR 50.48 (a) and GDC 3 have corresponding requirements in NFPA 805. A comparison of the current requirements in Appendix R with the comparable requirements in Section 3 of NFPA 805 shows that the two sets of requirements are consistent in many respects. This was further clarified in FAQ 07-0032, 10 CFR 50.48(a) and GDC 3 clarification (ML081400292). The following tables provide a cross reference of fire protection regulations associated with the post-transition PINGP fire protection program and applicable industry and PINGP documents that address the topic. 10 CFR 50.48(a) Table 5-1 10 CFR 50.48(a) - Applicability/Compliance Reference 10 CFR 50.48(a) Section(s) Applicability/Compliance Reference (1) Each holder of an operating license issued under this part or a combined license issued under part 52 of this chapter must have a fire protection plan that satisfies Criterion 3 of appendix A to this part. This fire protection plan must: See below (i) Describe the overall fire protection program for the facility; NFPA 805 Section 3.2 NEI 04-02 Table B-1 (ii) Identify the various positions within the licensee's organization that are responsible for the program; NFPA 805 Section 3.2.2 NEI 04-02 Table B-1 (iii) State the authorities that are delegated to each of these positions to implement those responsibilities; and NFPA 805 Section 3.2.2 NEI 04-02 Table B-1 (iv) Outline the plans for fire protection, fire detection and suppression capability, and limitation of fire damage. NFPA 805 Section 2.7 and Chapters 3 and 4 NEI 04-02 B-1 and B-3 Tables (2) The plan must also describe specific features necessary to implement the program described in paragraph (a)(1) of this section such as: See below (i) Administrative controls and personnel requirements for fire prevention and manual fire suppression activities; NFPA 805 Sections 3.3.1 and 3.4 NEI 04-02 Table B-1 (ii) Automatic and manually operated fire detection and suppression systems; and NFPA 805 Sections 3.5 through 3.10 and Chapter 4 NEI 04-02 B-1 and B-3 Tables (iii) The means to limit fire damage to structures, systems, or components important to safety so that the capability to shut down the plant safely is ensured.

NSPM, "Records Management" procedure (FG-NP-RM-10) and "Records Retention Schedule" (RM-0044).

Not applicable. PINGP is licensed under 10 CFR 50. General Design Criterion 3 The PINGP fire protection system was originally designed and constructed in accordance with General Design Criteria 3 as proposed by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) and as published in the Federal Register on July 11, 1967. AEC GDC 3 states the following:
"The reactor facility shall be designed (1) to minimize the probability of events such as fires and explosions and (2) to minimize the potential effects of such events to safety. Noncombustible and fire resistant materials shall be used whenever practical throughout the facility, particularly in areas containing critical portions of the facility such as containment, control room, and components of engineered safety features."
Since the construction of the plant was significantly completed prior to the issuance of the February 20, 1971, 10CFR50, Appendix A General Design Criteria, the plant was not reanalyzed and the FSAR was not revised to reflect these later criteria. However, the AEC Safety Evaluation Report acknowledged that the AEC staff assessed the plant, as described in the FSAR, against the Appendix A design criteria and "... are satisfied that the plant design generally conforms to the intent of these criteria." When 10 CFR 50.48 became effective, the NRC's basic criterion for fire protection as set forth in GDC 3, Appendix A to 10 CFR 50 became applicable to PINGP on October 29, 1980. The applicability of GDC 3 in 10 CFR 50 Appendix A to the PINGP NFPA-805 fire protection program is addressed as follows:

PINGP Page 62 Northern States Power - Minnesota 5.0 Regulatory Evaluation PINGP Page 63 Table 5-3 10 CFR 50.48(c) - Applicability/Compliance Reference 10 CFR 50.48(c) Section(s) Applicability/Compliance Reference (vii) Performance-based methods. Notwithstanding the prohibition in Section 3.1 against the use of performance-based methods, the fire protection program elements and minimum design requirements of Chapter 3 may be subject to the performance-based methods permitted elsewhere in the standard. Licensees who wish to use performance-based methods for these fire protection program elements and minimum design requirements shall submit a request in the form of an application for license amendment under § 50.90. The Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, or a designee of the Director, may approve the application if the Director or designee determines that the performance-based approach; (A) Satisfies the performance goals, performance objectives, and performance criteria specified in NFPA 805 related to nuclear safety and radiological release; (B) Maintains safety margins; and (C) Maintains fire protection defense-in-depth (fire prevention, fire detection, fire suppression, mitigation, and post-fire safe shutdown capability). The use of performance-based methods for NFPA 805 Chapter 3 is requested. See Attachment L. (3) Compliance with NFPA 805. See below (i) A licensee may maintain a fire protection program that complies with NFPA 805 as an alternative to complying with paragraph (b) of this section for plants licensed to operate before January 1, 1979, or the fire protection license conditions for plants licensed to operate after January 1, 1979. The licensee shall submit a request to comply with NFPA 805 in the form of an application for license amendment under § 50.90. The application must identify any orders and license conditions that must be revised or superseded, and contain any necessary revisions to the plant's technical specifications and the bases thereof. The Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, or a designee of the Director, may approve the application if the Director or designee determines that the licensee has identified orders, license conditions, and the technical specifications that must be revised or superseded, and that any necessary revisions are adequate. Any approval by the Director or the designee must be in the form of a license amendment approving the use of NFPA 805 together with any necessary revisions to the technical specifications. The LAR was submitted in accordance with 10 CFR 50.90. The LAR included applicable license conditions, orders, technical specifications/bases that needed to be revised and/or superseded. (ii) The licensee shall complete its implementation of the methodology in Chapter 2 of NFPA 805 (including all required evaluations and analyses) and, upon completion, modify the fire protection plan required by paragraph (a) of this section to reflect the licensee's decision to comply with NFPA 805, before changing its fire protection program or nuclear power plant as permitted by NFPA 805. The LAR and transition report summarize the evaluations and analyses performed in accordance with Chapter 2 of NFPA 805. (4) Risk-informed or performance-based alternatives to compliance with NFPA 805. A licensee may submit a request to use risk-informed or performance-based alternatives to compliance with NFPA 805. The request must be in the form of an application for license amendment under § 50.90 of this chapter. The Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, or designee of the Director, may approve the application if the Director or designee determines that the proposed alternatives: (i) Satisfy the performance goals, performance objectives, and performance criteria specified in NFPA 805 related to nuclear safety and radiological release; (ii) Maintain safety margins; and (iii) Maintain fire protection defense-in-depth (fire prevention, fire detection, fire suppression, mitigation, and post-fire safe shutdown capability). No risk-informed or performance-based alternatives to compliance with NFPA 805 (per 10 CFR 50.48(c)(4)) were utilized. See Attachment P. Northern States Power - Minnesota 5.0 Regulatory Evaluation 5.2 Regulatory Topics 5.2.1 License Condition Changes The current PINGP fire protection license condition 2.C.(4) is being replaced with the standard license condition based upon Regulatory Position 3.1 of RG 1.205, as shown in Attachment M. 5.2.2 Technical Specifications NSPM conducted a review of the Technical Specifications to determine which Technical Specifications are required to be revised, deleted, or superseded. NSPM determined that the changes to the Technical Specifications and applicable justification listed in Attachment N are adequate for the PINGP adoption of the new fire protection licensing basis. 5.2.3 Orders and Exemptions A review was conducted of the PINGP docketed correspondence to determine if there were any orders or exemptions that needed to be superseded or revised. A review was also performed to ensure that compliance with the physical protection requirements, security orders, and adherence to those commitments applicable to the plant are maintained. A discussion of affected orders and exemptions is included in Attachment O. 5.3 Regulatory Evaluations 5.3.1 No Significant Hazards Consideration A written evaluation of the significant hazards consideration of a proposed license amendment is required by 10 CFR 50.92. According to 10 CFR 50.92, a proposed amendment to an operating license involves no significant hazards consideration if operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment would not:
- Involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; or
- Create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated; or
- Involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety. This evaluation is contained in Attachment Q. Based on the considerations discussed above, (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public. NSPM has evaluated the proposed amendment and determined that it involves no significant hazards consideration. 5.3.2 Environmental Consideration Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), an evaluation of the LAR has been performed to determine whether it meets the criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR PINGP Page 64 Northern States Power - Minnesota 5.0 Regulatory Evaluation PINGP Page 65 51.22(c). That evaluation is discussed in Attachment R. The evaluation confirms that this LAR meets the criteria set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9) for categorical exclusion from the need for an environmental impact assessment or statement. 5.4 Revision to USAR After the approval of the LAR, the PINGP Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR) will be revised in accordance with 10 CFR 50.71(e) except as follows. The revised USAR will be submitted in accordance with an exemption from 10 CFR 50.71(e)(4) dated May 22, 2006, which allows periodic updates of the PINGP USAR to be submitted within 6 months after the completion of each Unit 2 refueling outage, not to exceed 24 months from the previous submittal. The format and content will be consistent with FAQ 12-0062. 5.5 Transition Implementation Schedule The following schedule for transitioning PINGP to the new fire protection licensing basis requires NRC approval of the LAR in accordance with the following schedule:
- Implementation of new NFPA 805 fire protection program will include procedure changes, process updates, and training of affected plant personnel. Implementation will occur within the later of six months after NRC approval, or six months after a refueling outage if in progress at the time of approval. See Attachment S, Table S-3.
- Attachment S, Table S-2, provides a listing of modifications associated with the transition to NFPA 805. NSPM will complete implementation of these modifications at PINGP before the end of the second full operating cycle for each unit after approval of the LAR. Appropriate compensatory measures will be maintained until modifications are complete.

A written log entry is completed which documents that, if the berm contained water, it was inspected for oil residue before it was pumped or drained. This includes the large berm pits for the plant transformers which are also inspected for oil residue before pumping.10.2.3 The plant transformers have a continuing leakage problem due to their large size. The various types of oil absorbents placed under them are routinely inspected and changed as necessary. This minimizes the chance of oil reaching the berm pits."Plant DocumentationProcedure 5AWI 8.5.0, "Housekeeping and Materiel Condition," Rev. 10, dated 2/25/10Procedure D14.6, "Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan," Rev. 5, dated 3/22/06NF-39320-1, Transformer Oil Drain Piping Unit 1NF-39321-1, Transformer Oil Drain Piping Unit 2Industry-Related ReferencesNoneExisting Engineering Equivalency Evaluations (EEEEs)NoneItems for ImplementationNoneIdentifier:Requirement/GuidanceWhere provided, transformer oil collection basins and drain paths shall be periodically inspected to ensure that they are free of debris and capable of performing their design function.Subsection TitleTransformersNFPA 805 Section # 3.3.9EEEE DescriptionSummaryPage A-55PINGP Northern States Power - MinnesotaAttachment A - NEI 04-02 Table B-1Compliance StatementCompliesCompliance Basis Per Section 8.6 of Procedure 5AWI 3.13.2, "Fire Prevention," "Combustible liquids shall be handled with care near hot pipes and surfaces."

A third pump, electric motor-driven also having a capacity of 2000 gpm at a pressure of 125 psi normally assigned to the screen wash function can be aligned to pump into the fire water system. On loss of offsite AC power, the diesel driven pump will be available to supply water to the fire protection system."Per Section 7.3 of Procedure F5 Appendix K, "Fire Protection Systems Functional Requirements," The fire protection water system is supplied from the Mississippi River by two horizontal centrifugal fire pumps rated at 2,000 gpm at 125 psig. One pump is motor driven and the other pump is diesel driven. The 10" fire header is maintained between 110 and 113 psig by a jockey pump. The jockey pump does not supply water to the header. If the water demand is such that the jockey pump cannot maintain the header pressure, the screen wash pump will start (if not running). The screen wash pump, which is rated at 2000 gpm at 125 psig, provides water to the fire header when the bypass valve opens at 106 psig. However the screenwash pump has a bypass line which is orificed to restrict flow to 450 gpm to the fire header. The screen wash pump may be directly aligned to the fire header by a manual action from the Control Room in order to provide the rated 2,000 gpm at 125 psig. Due to the required manual action, this pump can not be credited as a primary fire pump. The motor driven fire pump will automatically start at 98 psig. If the header pressure to drops to 93 psig, the diesel-driven fire pump will start. The motor and diesel-driven fire pumps are designed to pump 2,000 gpm and Plant DocumentationCode Compliance Review NFPA 20-1969, "NFPA 20, Standard for the Installation of Centrifugal Fire Pumps, 1969, Code Compliance Review," Rev. 1 dated 6/1/2010Procedure F5 Appendix F, "Fire Hazard Analysis," Rev. 25A, dated 8/8/11 Procedure F5 Appendix K, "Fire Protection Systems Functional Requirements," Rev. 15, dated 4/11/2012Pioneer Service & Engineering Co.

Based on the design of the fire pumps and the firewater system, the 18 month test frequency currently used by PINGP is deemed adequate. Code Compliance ReviewSummary1. System Design: The redundancy provided by the three pumps will more than compensate for the potential failure of one pump to perform as intended. If debris caused one pump to be disabled, two other pumps are available. Since any single pump can satisfy the largest demand, sufficient firewater is expected Page A-107PINGP Northern States Power - MinnesotaAttachment A - NEI 04-02 Table B-1maintain a minimum of 65 psig in the fire header, measured at the highest point in the system. The motor driven fire pump, diesel-driven fire pump, and the manually-aligned screenwash pump can be used to supply all fire fighting water requirements."In the event that the motor driven pump is impared, the control room may manually align the screen wash pump directly to the FP header via CV-31055 with unrestricted flow (2,000 GPM).If all three fire pumps are impaired, or if the fire suppression water system is incapable of supplying water to a safety related area, a backup fire suppression water system must be established within 24 hours."Per Section 3.7 of Pioneer Service & Engineering Co. System Description 323.6720, "Prairie Island Fire Protection System," "Both fire pumps are of bronze-fitted cast iron construction-and conform to NFPA Standard 20."Fire pumps have been reviewed against the requirements of NFPA 20, as detailed in the Fire Protection Engineering Evaluation Code Compliance Deviations, Rev. 1, "NFPA 20, Standard for the Installation of Centrifugal Fire Pumps, 1969, Code Compliance Review," dated 6/1/2010.to be available at all times.2. Additional Tests: In addition to the 18 month performance tests, the fire pumps are also tested weekly and/or monthly. Performance of these tests would provide indication of potential obstructions or degradations in the fire water supply.3. Pump Design: Experience has shown that fire pumps are durable,and are capable of passing various debris with minimal impact on performance. The design capacity of each pump is 2000 gpm at 125 psi, which is well in excess of the largest hydraulic system demand: the deluge system for Transformer #2 requires 1534 gpm @ 89.4 psi, including hose stream allowance. The diesel driven fire pump can supply approximately 3300 gpm at 89.4 psi; the electric motor driven fire pump can supply approximately 3600 gpm at 89.4 psi. Given that the fire water supply is screened, it is unlikely that any debris would completely disable a pump. While the extent of the reduced flow cannot be predicted, sufficient fire water flow required for any single system can be expected. In the unlikely event a pump is completely disabled, the redundant pumps are available.Page A-108PINGP Northern States Power - MinnesotaAttachment A - NEI 04-02 Table B-1Items for ImplementationNone4. The 18 months test interval reflects the testing frequency previously accepted by the NRC. This test frequency was established under NSP©s original Technical Specifications.

Originally, fire suppression water would not be available for a period of 6 to 8 hours following the detection of a fire in containment. The licensee has proposed a design modification in which the existing containment fire line will be supplied by a four-inch cross-connect from the four-inch supply to the CRDM Shroud Cooling Coils. The cross-connect will have a capacity of approximately 350 gpm and will be available during plant operations.

These walls and ceilings contain penetrations for the passage of pipes and electrical cables from one fire area to another. Therefore, these penetrations are a breach of the fire barriers and must be sealed so as to maintain the integrity of the fire barriers.

Fire stops are not provided at intermediate points in vertical or horizontal cable spans. Penetrations are sealed with packed thermal fiber or foam and covered with thermal board and approximately 1/8 in. coat of thermal mastic. Where the penetration is through a structure forming the boundary between ventilation zones, fire dampers have been installed except where determined unnecessary by evaluation. Conduit penetrations through walls, floors, and ceilings of the relay/cable spreading rooms are provided with fire stops."Per Section 2.5, "Most piping penetrations in walls and floors, in safety-related areas of the plant, are sealed. In those instances where seals are not provided, evaluations exist to justify conditions. The small area surrounding pipe is sealed with a qualified penetration seal, designed for the maximum fire severity on either side of the barrier, and to allow for thermal movement. In all cases, when new penetrations are sealed, the sealing material is noncombustible, or, as in the case of silicone foam, has been reviewed and found acceptable by the NRC."Per Enclosure 1 to Letter from Clark (NRC) to Mayer (NSP) dated 12/29/80, "The test slab containing the penetrations was placed on a horizontal furnace and exposed to the ASTM E119 time/temperature curve for 3-hours. The ASTM E119 time/temperature curve is the standard time/temperature curve used for fire endurance tests.

Northern States Power - MinnesotaAttachment B - NEI 04-02 Table B-2 NEI 00-01 RefDeterministic MethodologyNEI 00-01 Section 3.0 GuidanceThis section discusses a generic deterministic methodology and criteria that licensees can use to perform a post-fire safe shutdown analysis to address regulatory requirements. The plant-specific analysis approved by NRC is reflected in the plant's licensing basis. The methodology described in this section is also an acceptable method of performing a post-fire safe shutdown analysis. This methodology is indicated in Figure 3-1. Other methods acceptable to NRC may also be used. Regardless of the method selected by an individual licensee, the criteria and assumptions provided in this guidance document may apply. The methodology described in Section 3 is based on a computer database oriented approach, which is utilized by several licensees to model Appendix R data relationships. This guidance document, however, does not require the use of a computer database oriented approach. The requirements of Appendix R Sections III.G.1, III.G.2 and III.G.3 apply to equipment and cables required for achieving and maintaining safe shutdown in any fire area. Although equipment and cables for fire detection and suppression systems, communications systems and 8-hour emergency lighting systems are important features, this guidance document does not address them.ApplicabilityApplicableCommentsAlignment StatementAligns with IntentPINGP utilized a deterministic methodology to assess conformance of the PINGP SSA with the Nuclear Safety Capability Assessment (NSCA), as described in NFPA 805, Section 1.5.1.

PINGP credits two existing licensing actions (exemptions) to meet the criteria of Sections 3.1.1.4 and 3.4.1.6.The PINGP methodology was used to determine if the Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria are being met for maintaining fuel in a safe and stable condition for all modes and plant configurations.Page B-3PINGP Northern States Power - MinnesotaAttachment B - NEI 04-02 Table B-2 NEI 00-01 RefSafe Shutdown Systems and Path DevelopmentNEI 00-01 Section 3.0 GuidanceThis section discusses the identification of systems available and necessary to perform the required safe shutdown functions. It also provides information on the process for combining these systems into safe shutdown paths. Appendix R Section III.G.1.a requires that the capability to achieve and maintain hot shutdown be free of fire damage. It is expected that the term "free of fire damage" will be further clarified in a forthcoming Regulatory Issue Summary. Appendix R Section III.G.1.b requires that repairs to systems and equipment necessary to achieve and maintain cold shutdown be completed within 72 hours. It is the intent of the NRC that requirements related to the use of manual operator actions will be addressed in a forthcoming rulemaking.The goal of post-fire safe shutdown is to assure that one train of shutdown systems, structures, and components remains free of fire damage for a single fire in any single plant fire area. This goal is accomplished by determining those functions important to achieve and maintain hot shutdown. Safe shutdown systems are selected so that the capability to perform these required functions is a part of each safe shutdown path. The functions important to post-fire safe shutdown generally include, but are not limited to the following:- Reactivity Control- Pressure Control Systems
- Inventory Control Systems - Decay Heat Removal Systems - Process Monitoring - Support Systems Electrical systems Cooling systems These functions are of importance because they have a direct bearing on the safe shutdown goal of being able to achieve and maintain hot shutdown which ensures the integrity of the fuel, the reactor pressure vessel, and the primary containment. If these functions are preserved, then the plant will be safe because the fuel, the reactor and the primary containment will not be damaged. By assuring that this equipment is not damaged and remains functional, the protection of the health and safety of the public is assured.In addition to the above listed functions, Generic Letter 81-12 specifies consideration of associated circuits with the potential for spurious equipment operation and/or loss of power source, and the common enclosure failures. Spurious operations/actuations can affect the accomplishment of the post-fire safe shutdown functions listed above. Typical examples of the effects of the spurious operations of concern are the following:- A loss of reactor pressure vessel/reactor coolant inventory in excess of the safe shutdown makeup capability - A flow loss or blockage in the inventory makeup or decay heat removal systems being used for the required safe shutdown path.Spurious operations are of concern because they have the potential to directly affect the ability to achieve and maintain hot shutdown, which could affect the fuel and cause damage to the reactor pressure vessel or the primary containment. Common power source and common enclosure concerns could also affect these and must be addressed3.1Page B-4PINGP Northern States Power - MinnesotaAttachment B - NEI 04-02 Table B-2 ApplicabilityApplicableCommentsAlignment StatementAligns with IntentSystems, functions, equipment, cables and logics required to maintain fuel in a safe and stable condition have been identified and are included in the PINGP model, Genesis and PRISM databases.Demonstration of the Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria for safe and stable conditions was performed in two analyses.* At-Power analysis, Mode 1 through Mode 3. This analysis is discussed in Section 4.2.4.
- Non-Power analysis, which includes Mode 4 and below. This analysis is discussed in Section 4.3.
The NFPA 805 licensing basis for PINGP for a Safe and Stable condition in the event of a fire starting with the reactor in at-power operating Modes 1, 2, or 3 (Power Operation, Startup, or Hot Standby, respectively) is to maintain Safe and Stable conditions in Hot Standby without Residual Heat Removal (RHR). PINGP will maintain Hot Standby conditions until a decision is made to either place the reactor in a non-power operating mode, i.e., Hot Shutdown (Mode 4) or Cold Shutdown (Mode 5), or to return to power operations. Determination of the final state will be based upon the extent of the fire damage, the inventory remaining in the Refueling Water Storage Tank (RWST), the ability to provide makeup water to the RWST, and the ability to re-establish inventory in the Condensate Storage Tank (CST) or realign auxiliary feedwater (AFW) to its alternate source (cooling water system).Mission Time A PINGP thermal-hydraulic analysis was performed for a mission time of 24 hours to assure that safe and stable conditions can be achieved within that time period. This mission time ensures that sufficient time is available for the Emergency Response Organization to respond to the event, assess the extent of fire damage, and assist the plant operating staff with maintaining Safe and Stable conditions or transitioning the plant to a non-power operating mode. To sustain Safe and Stable conditions, Key Safety Functions are met as follows:* Reactivity and Inventory Control The reactor design ensures that Keff < 0.99 can be achieved by use of the control rods from any operating mode.

- Decay Heat Removal One or both steam generators, as well as a motor driven or turbine driven Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) pump will remain available without additional actions to provide symmetrical or asymmetrical decay heat removal beyond the mission time for Safe and Stable. The Condensate Storage Tank (CST) is the initial source for the AFW pumps. Per EC-20738, "Decay Heat Removal," the CST will provide a continuous water supply for the AFW pumps for 20 hours. Beyond 20 hours, the CST can be refilled or the AFW pumps can be re-aligned to the cooling water system to provide an unlimited water source. This realignment is accomplished through existing plant procedures 1(2)E-1, "Loss of Reactor or Secondary Coolant," and C28.1, AOP2, "Loss of Condensate Supply to Auxiliary Feedwater Pump Suction."
- Vital Auxiliaries - Power and Support Systems The Emergency Diesel Generators (EDGs) have an on-site fuel oil supply that will last for 14 days, assuming one EDG on each unit, or 7 days if both EDGs are operating for each unit. The diesel driven cooling water pumps (DDCLPs) have a separate fuel oil supply that will last for 14 days for one operating pump, or 7 days if two pumps are operating. Offsite sources of fuel oil are available to replenish fuel oil levels if needed via established contracts. If conditions warrant placing the plant in Hot Shutdown (Mode 4) or Cold Shutdown (Mode 5), NSPM will initiate operation of the RHR System.
Although the RHR system is not required for maintaining safe and stable conditions, the RHR system is included in the "at power" Nuclear Safety Capability Assessment (NSCA) PRISM model to demonstrate its availability for transition. Initiation of RHR system operations does not imply that the end state will be Cold Shutdown (Mode 5).The Genesis and PRISM databases are utilized to demonstrate that the Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria is met on a fire-area-by-fire-area basis by logically correlating the Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria of NFPA 805, Section 1.5.1, to physical plant success paths, equipment, cables, and location (fire areas).High/low pressure interfaces have been considered and precluded from spurious operation of the pathway viaplant configuration change to operate with 480VAC breakers open for RHR suction valves: MV-32231 (U1), MV-32165 (U1), MV-32233 (U2) and MV-32193 (U2).

Alternative shutdown capability is determined based on an inability to assure the availability of a redundant safe shutdown path. Compliance to the separation requirements of Sections III.G.1 and III.G.2 may be supplemented by the use of manual actions to the extent allowed by the regulations and the licensing basis of the plant, repairs (cold shutdown only), exemptions, deviations, GL 86-10 fire hazards analyses or fire protection design change evaluations, as appropriate. These may also be used in conjunction with alternative shutdown capability.ApplicabilityApplicableCommentsAlignment StatementNot in Alignment [but Prior NRC Approval]NFPA-805 does not have an analogous definition or methodology for the 10 CFR 50 Appendix R term: "alternative / dedicated shutdown".Fire areas 13 and 18 (Control Room and Relay Room) were defined as "Alternative / Dedicated Shutdown" areas under 10CFR50 Appendix R. In these areas, for safe and stable, PINGP credits the use of a hot shutdown (HSD) panel as the primary control station for fires that require control room abandonment. The following applies:* The hot shutdown panel provides a minimum subset of required equipment and assured isolation from the effects of the fire. Hot shutdown panel credited is PNL-51000.* Actions taken to enable the HSD panel are detailed in Attachment G. Modifications to the HSD panels are defined in Attachment S.* Upon abandoning the control room, the action to close the PORV block valves and subsequently open disconnect switches to de-energize the PORV control valves, is being credited as a previously approved action and is detailed in Attachment K and T to the LAR.As an exception to this section, PINGP is transitioning existing approved licensing action for a "repair action" to assure isolation of pressurizer PORVs for a fire occurring in the cable spreading room or relay room (Fire Areas 13 and 18 respectively), that could cause spurious operation of PORV isolation valves.

These are operated manually. Automatic initiation of the Automatic Depressurization System is not a required function.[PWR] Makeup/ChargingRCS pressure is controlled by controlling the rate of charging/makeup to the RCS. Although utilization of the pressurizer heaters and/or auxiliary spray reduces operator burden, neither component is required to provide adequate pressure control. Pressure reductions are made by allowing the RCS to cool/shrink, thus reducing pressurizer level/pressure. Pressure increases are made by initiating charging/makeup to maintain pressurizer level/pressure. Manual control of the related pumps is acceptable.ApplicabilityApplicableCommentsAlignment StatementAlignsRCS Pressure Control is necessary to prevent exceeding RCS design pressure-temperature limits and to minimize void formation in the reactor. RCS pressure control is also necessary to control high/low pressure interfaces and to prevent rupture of any primary coolant boundary. Some key goals of pressure control are:
- Preventing a LOCA due to spurious operation of high/low pressure interface components
- Isolating Normal Pressurizer and Auxiliary Spray
- Closing or isolating the Pressurizer Power-Operated Relief Valves (PORVs)* Isolating RCS head vent flowpaths
- Control of Normal and Excess Letdown flowpaths
- Securing the Pressurizer Heaters when spuriously operatingOver-pressure protection of the RCS is mainly provided by the pressurizer safety valves (RC-10-1, RC-10-2, 2RC-10-1, 2RC-10-2). The power-operated relief valves and associated block valve, RCS head vent valves, and Pressurizer vent valves can be used for over-pressure protection. Low temperature overpressure protection mitigates an overpressure event during low temperature operation.

Because normal and excess letdown flowpaths may not be available, the RCS head vents or pressurizer head vents can be throttled for letdown. In addition, RCP seal leakage flow is also another means for letdown but is not explicitly credited by the safe and stable analysis.In addition to controlling the rate of charging/makeup for pressure increases, PINGP safe and stable credits cooling and shrinking of the RCS through steam heat removal; this is accomplished by controlling the flow of auxiliary feedwater to the steam generators and discharging the volume as steam via the safety valves, steam diversion flow paths and the steam generator power-operated relief valves (PORVs).Pressurizer heaters and sprays have been analyzed for spurious operation in the PRISM and Genesis databases and in thermal hydraulic calculation P2117-2400-02-00.

RCS makeup is provided by the Chemical and Volume Control System (CVCS) or the Safety Injection System (SI). Typically, the CVCS system is credited if Train A systems are available, and the SI system is credited if Train B systems are available. As an example, the PRISM and Genesis databases include analysis of the following in support of inventory control:
- Isolation of the Reactor Coolant System diversion flowpaths.

No credit should be taken for a fire causing a loss of offsite power. Refer to Section 3.1.1.7.DC Distribution System Typically, the 125VDC distribution system supplies DC control power to various 125VDC control panels including switchgear breaker controls. The 125VDC distribution panels may also supply power to the 120VAC distribution panels via static inverters. These distribution panels typically supply power for instrumentation necessary to complete the process monitoring functions.For fire events that result in an interruption of power to the AC electrical bus, the station batteries are necessary to supply any required control power during the interim time period required for the diesel generators to become operational.Once the diesels are operational, the 125 VDC distribution system can be powered from the diesels through the battery chargers.The DC control centers may also supply power to various small horsepower Appendix R safe shutdown system valves and pumps.

Equipment may be categorized as (1) primary components or (2) secondary components. Typically, the following types of equipment are considered to be primary components:- Pumps, motor operated valves, solenoid valves, fans, gas bottles, dampers, unit coolers, etc. - All necessary process indicators and recorders (i.e., flow indicator, temperature indicator, turbine speed indicator, pressure indicator, level recorder)- Power supplies or other electrical components that support operation of primary components (i.e., diesel generators, switchgear, motor control centers, load centers, power supplies, distribution panels, etc.).Secondary components are typically items found within the circuitry for a primary component. These provide a supporting role to the overall circuit function. Some secondary components may provide an isolation function or a signal to a primary component via either an interlock or input signal processor. Examples of secondary components include flow switches, pressure switches, temperature switches, level switches, temperature elements, speed elements, transmitters, converters, controllers, transducers, signal conditioners, hand switches, relays, fuses and various instrumentation devices.Determine which equipment should be included on the Safe Shutdown Equipment List (SSEL). As an option, include secondary components with a primary component(s) that would be affected by fire damage to the secondary component.

With respect to electrical distribution cabling, two types of cable associations exist. For safe shutdown considerations, the direct power feed to a primary safe shutdown component is associated with the primary component. For example, the power feed to a pump is necessary to support the pump. Similarly, the power feed from the load center to an MCC supports the MCC. However, for cases where sufficient branch-circuit coordination is not provided, the same cables discussed above would also support the power supply. For example, the power feed to the pump discussed above would support the bus from which it is fed because, for the case of a common power source analysis, the concern is the loss of the upstream power source and not the connected load. Similarly, the cable feeding the MCC from the load center would also be necessary to support the load center.ApplicabilityApplicableCommentsAlignment StatementAlignsLoss of DC control power to NFPA 805 credited plant busses is incorporated in the NFPA-805 model and the impact of secondary fires and loss of power supply have been considered (common power supply, common enclosure). Logics contained in both Genesis and PRISM databases detail the cascading effects of power supply losses when they occur as a result of fire-induced damage.The findings of EC 19988 (with respect to the loss of DC control power) resulted in the addition of modifications to Attachment S Table S-2 to prevent common enclosure (secondary fires) from occurring as a result of faults on the buses that are not credited power supplies for NFPA 805. EC 19989 identified that the PINGP coordination program has the proper controls in place to include the NFPA 805 engineer when electrical coordination changes are made that can affect the NFPA 805 analysis. However, EC 19989 also identified several NFPA 805 credited power supplies that did not have coordination studies on record.

The three types of associated circuits were identified in Reference 6.1.5 and further clarified in a NRC memorandum dated March 22, 1982 from R. Mattson to D. Eisenhut, Reference 6.1.6. They are as follows:- Spurious actuations- Common power source - Common enclosureCables Whose Failure May Cause Spurious ActuationsSafe shutdown system spurious actuation concerns can result from fire damage to a cable whose failure could cause the spurious actuation/mal-operation of equipment whose operation could affect safe shutdown. These cables are identified in Section 3.3.3 together with the remaining safe shutdown cables required to support control and operation of the equipment.Common Power Source CablesThe concern for the common power source associated circuits is the loss of a safe shutdown power source due to inadequate breaker/fuse coordination. In the case of a fire-induced cable failure on a non-safe shutdown load circuit supplied from the safe shutdown power source, a lack of coordination between the upstream supply breaker/fuse feeding the safe shutdown power source and the load breaker/fuse supplying the non-safe shutdown faulted circuit can result in loss of the safe shutdown bus. This would result in the loss of power to the safe shutdown equipment supplied from that power source preventing the safe shutdown equipment from performing its required safe shutdown function. Identify these cables together with the remaining safe shutdown cables required to support control and operation of the equipment. Refer to Section 3.5.2.4 for an acceptable methodology for analyzing the impact of these cables on post-fire safe shutdown.Common Enclosure CablesThe concern with common enclosure associated circuits is fire damage to a cable whose failure could propagate to other safe shutdown cables in the same enclosure either because the circuit is not properly protected by an isolation device (breaker/fuse) such that a fire-induced fault could result in ignition along its length, or by the fire propagating along the cable and into an adjacent fire area. This fire spread to an adjacent fire area could impact safe shutdown equipment in that fire area, thereby resulting in a condition that exceeds the criteria and assumptions of this methodology (i.e., multiple fires).

Typically, the safe shutdown path with the least number of cables and equipment in the fire area would be selected as the required safe shutdown path. Consider the circuit failure criteria and the possible mitigating strategies, however, in selecting the required safe shutdown path in a particular fire area. Review support systems as a part of this assessment since their availability will be important to the ability to achieve and maintain safe shutdown. For example, impacts to the electric power distribution system for a particular safe shutdown path could present a major impediment to using a particular path for safe shutdown. By identifying this early in the assessment process, an unnecessary amount of time is not spent assessing impacts to the frontline systems that will require this power to support their operation.Based on an assessment as described above, designate the required safe shutdown path(s) for the fire area. Identify all equipment not in the safe shutdown path whose spurious operation or mal-operation could affect the shutdown function. Include these cables in the shutdown function list. For each of the safe shutdown cables (located in the fire area) that are part of the required safe shutdown path in the fire area, perform an evaluation to determine the impact of a fire-induced cable failure on the corresponding safe shutdown equipment and, ultimately, on the required safe shutdown path. When evaluating the safe shutdown mode for a particular piece of equipment, it is important to consider the equipment's position for the specific safe shutdown scenario for the full duration of the shutdown scenario.

A hot short may cause a spurious operation of safe shutdown equipment.- An open circuit may result from a fire-induced break in a conductor resulting in the loss of circuit continuity. An open circuit may prevent the ability to control or power the affected equipment. An open circuit may also result in a change of state for normally energized equipment. (e.g. [for BWRs] loss of power to the Main Steam Isolation Valve (MSIV) solenoid valves due to an open circuit will result in the closure of the MSIVs). Note that RIS 2004-03 indicates that open circuits, as an initial mode of cable failures, are considered to be of very low likelihood. The risk-informed inspection process will focus on failures with relatively high probabilities.- A short-to-ground may result from a fire-induced breakdown of a cable insulation system, resulting in the potential on the conductor being applied to ground potential. A short-to-ground may have all of the same effects as an open circuit and, in addition, a short-to-ground may also cause an impact to the control circuit or power train of which it is a part.Consider the three types of circuit failures identified above to occur individually on each conductor of each safe shutdown cable on the required safe shutdown path in the fire area.ApplicabilityApplicableCommentsAlignment StatementAlignsFor safe and stable, PINGP considers hot shorts, open circuits and shorts to ground in alignment with NEI 00-01 Revision 1 as detailed in the following sections of this document.

Bin 1 failures should also be the focus of the analysis; however, NRC has indicated that other types of failures required by the regulations for analysis should not be disregarded even if in Bin 2 or 3. If Bin 1 changes in subsequent revisions of RIS 2004-03, the guidelines in the revised RIS should be followed.Cable Failure Modes.For multiconductor cables testing has demonstrated that conductor-to-conductor shorting within the same cable is the most common mode of failure. This is often referred to as "intra-cable shorting." It is reasonable to assume that given damage, more than one conductor-to-conductor short will occur in a given cable. A second primary mode of cable failure is conductor-to-conductor shorting between separate cables, commonly referred to as "inter-cable shorting." Inter-cable shorting is less likely than intra-cable shorting. Consistent with the current knowledge of fire-induced cable failures, the following configurations should be considered:A. For any individual multiconductor cable (thermoset or thermoplastic), any and all potential spurious actuations that may result from intra-cable shorting, including any possible combination of conductors within the cable, may be postulated to occur concurrently regardless of number. However, as a practical matter, the number of combinations of potential hot shorts increases rapidly with the number of conductors within a given cable. For example, a multiconductor cable with three conductors (3C) has 3 possible combinations of two (including desired combinations), while a five conductor cable (5C) has 10 possible combinations of two (including desired combinations), and a seven conductor cable (7C) has 21 possible combinations of two (including desired combinations). To facilitate an inspection that considers most of the risk presented by postulated hot shorts within a multiconductor cable, inspectors should consider only a few (three or four) of the most critical postulated combinations. B. For any thermoplastic cable, any and all potential spurious actuations that may result from intra-cable and inter-cable shorting with other thermoplastic cables, including any possible combination of conductors within or between the cables, may be postulated to occur concurrently regardless of number. (The consideration of thermoset cable inter-cable shorts is deferred pending additional research.)C. For cases involving the potential damage of more than one multiconductor cable, a maximum of two cables should be assumed to be damaged concurrently. The spurious actuations should be evaluated as previously described. The consideration of more thantwo cables being damaged (and subsequent spurious actuations) is deferred pending additional research.D. For cases involving direct current (DC) circuits, the potential spurious operation due to failures of the associated control cables (even if the spurious operation requires two concurrent hot shorts of the proper polarity, e.g., plus-to-plus and minus-to-minus) should be considered when the required source and target conductors are each located within the same multiconductor cable.E. Instrumentation Circuits. Required instrumentation circuits are beyond the scope of this associated circuit approach and must meet the same requirements as required power and control circuits. There is one case where an instrument circuit could potentially be considered an associated circuit. If fire-induced damage of an instrument circuit could prevent operation (e.g., lockout 3.5.1.5Page B-90PINGP Northern States Power - MinnesotaAttachment B - NEI 04-02 Table B-2 permissive signal) or cause maloperation (e.g., unwanted start/stop/reposition signal) of systems necessary to achieve and maintain hot shutdown, then the instrument circuit may be considered an associated circuit and handled accordingly.Likelihood of Undesired ConsequencesDetermination of the potential consequence of the damaged associated circuits is based on the examination of specific NPP piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) and review of components that could prevent operation or cause maloperation such as flow diversions, loss of coolant, or other scenarios that could significantly impair the NPP's ability to achieve and maintain hot shutdown. When considering the potential consequence of such failures, the [analyst] should also consider the time at which the prevented operation or maloperation occurs. Failures that impede hot shutdown within the first hour of the fire tend to be most risk significant in a first-order evaluation. Consideration of cold-shutdown circuits is deferred pending additional research.ApplicabilityApplicableCommentsAlignment StatementAligns with IntentPINGP procedure EPM-DP-EP-004 Revision 2, "Post Fire Safe Shutdown Cable Identification" is consistent with the guidance given in this section as it pertains to maintaining the fuel in a safe and stable condition.

The results of EC 19988 were addressed to ensure alignment with this section.The circuit analysis for instrumentation circuits (shielded twisted pair), was "redone" per the findings detailed in FPRA-PI-ES, to address the proper fire-induced failure modes.Reference DocumentsEC-19775, NFPA 805 LAR Attachment B - Table B-2, Nuclear Safety Capability Methodology EC 19988 EPM-DP-EP-004 Revision 2, "Post Fire Safe Shutdown Cable Identification" FPRA-PI-ESAlignment BasisPage B-91PINGP Northern States Power - MinnesotaAttachment B - NEI 04-02 Table B-2 NEI 00-01 RefTypes of Circuit FailuresNEI 00-01 Section 3.0 GuidanceAppendix R requires that nuclear power plants must be designed to prevent exposure fires from defeating the ability to achieve and maintain post-fire safe shutdown. Fire damage to circuits that provide control and power to equipment on the required safe shutdown path and any other equipment whose spurious operation/mal-operation could affect shutdown in each fire area must be evaluated for the effects of a fire in that fire area. Only one fire at a time is assumed to occur. The extent of fire damage is assumed to be limited by the boundaries of the fire area. Given this set of conditions, it must be assured that one redundant train of equipment capable of achieving hot shutdown is free of fire damage for fires in every plant location. To provide this assurance, Appendix R requires that equipment and circuits required for safe shutdown be free of fire damage and that these circuits be designed for the fire-induced effects of a hot short, short-to-ground, and open circuit. With respect to the electrical distribution system, the issue of breaker coordination must also be addressed.This section will discuss specific examples of each of the following types of circuit failures: - Open circuit- Short-to-ground- Hot short.ApplicabilityApplicableCommentsAlignment StatementNot RequiredGeneric GuidanceReference DocumentsEC-19775, NFPA 805 LAR Attachment B - Table B-2, Nuclear Safety Capability MethodologyAlignment Basis3.5.2Page B-92PINGP Northern States Power - MinnesotaAttachment B - NEI 04-02 Table B-2 NEI 00-01 RefCircuit Failures Due to an Open CircuitNEI 00-01 Section 3.0 GuidanceThis section provides guidance for addressing the effects of an open circuit for safe shutdown equipment. An open circuit is a fire-induced break in a conductor resulting in the loss of circuit continuity. An open circuit will typically prevent the ability to control or power the affected equipment. An open circuit can also result in a change of state for normally energized equipment. For example, a loss of power to the main steam isolation valve (MSIV) solenoid valves [for BWRs] due to an open circuit will result in the closure of the MSIV.NOTE: The EPRI circuit failure testing indicated that open circuits are not likely to be the initial fire-induced circuit failure mode. Consideration of this may be helpful within the safe shutdown analysis. Consider the following consequences in the safe shutdown circuit analysis when determining the effects of open circuits:- Loss of electrical continuity may occur within a conductor resulting in deenergizing the circuit and causing a loss of power to, or control of, the required safe shutdown equipment.- In selected cases, a loss of electrical continuity may result in loss of power to an interlocked relay or other device. This loss of power may change the state of the equipment. Evaluate this to determine if equipment fails safe.- Open circuit on a high voltage (e.g., 4.16 kV) ammeter current transformer (CT) circuit may result in secondary damage.ApplicabilityApplicableCommentsAlignment StatementAligns with IntentOpen circuits were considered for all unprotected cables within the fire area of concern, in keeping with the guidance of this section.Report R2013-2700-001 was performed to identify the population of PINGP current transformer circuits (CTs) that are susceptible to secondary fires using the industry standard screening criteria.

A short-to-ground is a fire-induced breakdown of a cable insulation system resulting in the potential on the conductor being applied to ground potential. A short-to-ground can cause a loss of power to or control of required safe shutdown equipment. In addition, a short-to-ground may affect other equipment in the electrical power distribution system in the cases where proper coordination does not exist. Consider the following consequences in the post-fire safe shutdown analysis when determining the effects of circuit failures related to shorts-to-ground:- A short to ground in a power or a control circuit may result in tripping one or more isolation devices (i.e. breaker/fuse) and causing a loss of power to or control of required safe shutdown equipment.- In the case of certain energized equipment such as HVAC dampers, a loss of control power may result in loss of power to an interlocked relay or other device that may cause one or more spurious operations.ApplicabilityApplicableCommentsAlignment StatementAlignsPINGP has considered the effects of shorts to ground in alignment with the guidance given in this section to maintain safe and stable conditions.Reference DocumentsEC-19775, NFPA 805 LAR Attachment B - Table B-2, Nuclear Safety Capability MethodologyEPM-DP-EP-004 Revision 2, "Post Fire Safe Shutdown Cable Identification" FPRA-PI-CSAlignment Basis3.5.2.2Page B-94PINGP Northern States Power - MinnesotaAttachment B - NEI 04-02 Table B-2 NEI 00-01 RefCircuit Failures Due to a Hot ShortNEI 00-01 Section 3.0 GuidanceThis section provides guidance for analyzing the effects of a hot short on circuits for required safe shutdown equipment. A hot short is defined as a fire-induced insulation breakdown between conductors of the same cable, a different cable or some other external source resulting in an undesired impressed voltage on a specific conductor. The potential effect of the undesired impressed voltage would be to cause equipment to operate or fail to operate in an undesired manner.Consider the following specific circuit failures related to hot shorts as part of the post-fire safe shutdown analysis:- A hot short between an energized conductor and a de-energized conductor within the same cable may cause a spurious actuation of equipment. The spuriously actuated device (e.g., relay) may be interlocked with another circuit that causes the spurious actuation of other equipment. This type of hot short is called a conductor-to-conductor hot short or an internal hot short.- A hot short between any external energized source such as an energized conductor from another cable (thermoplastic cables only) and a de-energized conductor may also cause a spurious actuation of equipment. This is called a cable-to-cable hot short or an external hot short. Cable-to-cable hot shorts between thermoset cables are not postulated to occur pending additional research.ApplicabilityApplicableCommentsAlignment StatementAlignsFor safe and stable, PINGP utilizes the "hot probe" method to determine the effects of hot shorts on the circuits during the initial circuit analysis activity.

The concern is that, for fire damage to a single power cable, lack of coordination between the supply breaker/fuse and the load breakers/fuses can result in the loss of power to a safe shutdown power source that is required to provide power to safe shutdown equipment.A coordination study should demonstrate the coordination status for each required common power source. For coordination to exist, the time-current curves for the breakers, fuses and/or protective relaying must demonstrate that a fault on the load circuits is isolated before tripping the upstream breaker that supplies the bus. Furthermore, the available short circuit current on the load circuit must be considered to ensure that coordination is demonstrated at the maximum fault level.The methodology for identifying potential associated circuits of a common power source and evaluating circuit coordination cases of associated circuits on a single circuit fault basis is as follows:- Identify the power sources required to supply power to safe shutdown equipment.- For each power source, identify the breaker/fuse ratings, types, trip settings and coordination characteristics for the incoming source breaker supplying the bus and the breakers/fuses feeding the loads supplied by the bus.- For each power source, demonstrate proper circuit coordination usingacceptable industry methods.- For power sources not properly coordinated, tabulate by fire area the routing of cables whose breaker/fuse is not properly coordinated with the supply breaker/fuse. Evaluate the potential for disabling power to the bus in each of the fire areas in which the associated circuit cables of concern are routed and the power source is required for safe shutdown. Prepare a list of the following information for each fire area:- Cables of concern.- Affected common power source and its path. - Raceway in which the cable is enclosed.- Sequence of the raceway in the cable route.- Fire zone/area in which the raceway is located.For fire zones/areas in which the power source is disabled, the effects are mitigated by appropriate methods. - Develop analyzed safe shutdown circuit dispositions for the associated circuit of concern cables routed in an area of the same path as required by the power source.

Revision 1 to this FPEE evaluates the functional requirements for the existing pre-action fire suppression systems inside the containment annulus. FA 68 and 72 are in compliance with Appendix R, Section III.G.2.d, because redundant trains of equipment required for safe shutdown are separated by greater than 20 feet free of intervening combustibles. Although the Annulus is not inside the containment pressure boundary, it is inside the Reactor Containment Building and it qualifies to be treated like an area inside containment because access to the area is restricted in the same way access is restricted to containment during power operation. Reference 4.15 supports this position that the annulus is inside the Reactor Containment Building. Since FA 68 and FA 72 can be treated like areas inside containment, the partial area fire detection and automatic fire suppression in the Annulus do not need to be credited to meet the requirements of Appendix R, Section III.G.2. In addition, the functional requirements and surveillances required to ensure operability are not required for the cable tray sprinkler systems in the annulus of either unit, FA 68 and FA 72.

One issue has been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Two recommendations are provided to consider augmenting detection actuation device coverage in Fire Area 25 (Diesel Generator 1) and in Fire Area 18 (Relay and Computer Room) pending the results of the Fire PRA. If the Fire PRA relies on the capabilities of the detection actuation devices for suppression system actuation, then additional actions will be required. An action request is tracking resolution of both issues. Additional actions are required in the Screenhouse (electric fire pump enclosure) to resolve the lack of a heat actuating device in the electric fire pump enclosure, and in the Annulus of each unit to address the Appendix A commitment to a preaction sprinkler system that is actuated by HADs in the Annulus of each unit. Action requests in the Corrective Action Program are tracking resolution of the identified issues. Variances from Deterministic Requirements (VFDR) VFDR-001 01 A fire in FA 01 could damage the cable for LOOP 1L-433 (Pressurizer Level Cold Calibration Instrument) and cable for LOOP 1L-426-RP (Pressurizer Level Red Channel). Cable 1CF-31 is routed in a raceway with a radiant energy shield installed on the top and bottom of the tray, but it cannot be verified that it has a 1/2 hour rating. Components and Cables: Pressurizer Level Cold Calibration Instrument, LOOP 1L-433 (1CF-31) Pressurizer Level Red Channel, LOOP 1L-426-RP (1CR-36) This represents a variance from the deterministic requirements (VFDR) of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3.4.b, due to lack of separation between redundant trains of Pressurizer Level Indication. The NFPA 805 Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria is not met for Process Monitoring. Compliant Case: Pressurizer Level Instrumentation would remain free of fire damage. Disposition Recovery Action(s): No recovery action credited. This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with fire modeling required. VFDR-001 02 A fire in FA 01 could damage cables for CV-31245 (11 Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) Thermal Barrier Heat Exchanger (TBHX) CC). A fire in FA 01 could also damage cables for CV-31335 (11 RCP seal water outlet isolation CV). This could result in increased leakage through the RCP seals.

The NFPA 805 Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria is not met for Inventory Control. Compliant Case: Reactor Coolant Pump Seal cooling should remain available from this area. Disposition Recovery Action(s): No recovery action credited. Modification to install shutdown RCP seals will alleviate the need for a recovery action given RCS injection is restored from the control room to provide makeup for RCS leakage (Table S-2). This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with a plant modification credited. VFDR-001 03 A fire in FA 01 could damage cables for CV-31246 (12 RCP TBHX CC). A fire in FA 01 could also damage cables for CV-31336 (12 RCP seal water outlet isolation CV). This could result in increased leakage through the RCP seals. Components and Cables: 12 RCP TBHX CC, CV-31246 (1C-2162, 1C-2174, 1C-2175, 1C-2176, 1C-4640, 1C-4642) 12 RCP seal injection outlet valve, CV-31336 (1C-1081, 1C-1082, 1C-1086)
This represents a variance from the deterministic requirements (VFDR) of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3.4.b, due to lack of separation between redundant trains of RCP seal cooling.

EEEE Title FPEE-11-049, NFPA 80, 1968 Code Compliance Deviations Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of required fire doors in F5 Appendix K fire barriers for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 80 -1968, Standard for Fire Doors and Windows (Code of Record). Six deviations have been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Eight deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliance associated with use of gates, not doors in required fire barriers, insulation attached to the inside of a required door, access openings through three doors, four doors for which a fire rating could not be determined (two of which include transoms), the qualification of frames in fire door assemblies, transoms with penetrations above two rated doors, doors that would not close under airflow, and two sets of door combinations without positive latching. Each deviation is being tracked in the corrective action system. EEEE Title FPEE-11-053, NFPA 13, 1969 Code Compliance Deviations, Vent Filters (FA-2, 76) Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of the FA2 and FA76 Vent Filter deluge sprinkler systems protecting the Auxiliary Building Special Vents (121 and 122 ABSV) and Shield Building Exhaust Filters (11, 12, 21, and 22 SBEF) on the 755ft elevation of the Auxiliary Building, Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 11 for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 13 -1969, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems (Code of Record). Seven deviations have been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Three deviations require additional actions to resolve noncompliance's associated with (a) testing of vent filter deluge system drains and flow switches, (b), lack of pressure gages on the systems, and (c) the configuration of drains for the vent filter deluge systems and which drains are used for flushing the system in SP 1197. An Action Request has been initiated to track resolution of the identified issues. EEEE Title FPEE-12-001, CA-01314253-01, VFD-63 & VFD-64 Summary The purpose of this evaluation is to assess VFD-63 and VFD-64, located on the 755ft elevation of the Auxiliary Building in Fire Area 2 and Fire Area 76, respectively. Exposure fires in Fire Area 8, Fire Area 2, and Fire Area 76 would not be expected to cause failure of the 6 inch diameter 14 gauge steel duct pipe between the fire damper in the 1ft x 2ft steel enclosure and G-wall. The duct pipes are securely attached with bolts to both sides of the steel enclosures. The construction of the steel enclosures and duct pipes, along with method of attachment, are capable of withstanding the impact of postulated exposure fires to which they could be exposed. Fire Area 8, Fire Area 2, and Fire Area 76 are in compliance with Appendix R since all required safe shutdown functions are available from the control room, with manual actions following C37.9 AOP1 and C37.9 AOP2 credited in Fire Area 2 to establish temporary Control Room and Relay Room HVAC. As such, fires in Fire Area 8, Fire Area 2, and Fire Area 76 that spread through G-wall due to failure of 6 inch diameter 14 gauge steel pipe between G-wall and VFD-63 and VFD-64 will not impact safe shutdown capability. EEEE Title FPEE-11-022, NFPA 90A, 1969, 1978 Code Compliance Deviations Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of HVAC systems and fire dampers for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 90A - 1969 and NFPA 90A - 1978, Standard for Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems (Codes of Record.) Two separate code editions are evaluated in this review based on the time period of initial ductwork and damper installations and subsequent modifications to include additional fire dampers as a result of the 1979 NRC Fire Protection Safety Evaluation Report, along with changes to incorporate additional criteria such as steam exclusion. One deviation has been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Four deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliance's associated with the criteria to shut down HVAC systems during the performance of hot work, the lack of fire dampers in specified horizontal and vertical fire barriers, and the location of two sets of fire dampers outside of the plane of the barrier. Action Requests have been initiated to track resolution of the identified issues. EEEE Title CA-01311057-01, Fire Doors 146/181 and 147/273 Summary The purpose of this evaluation is to assess two pairs of fire doors in series, Fire Doors 181/146 and 147/273. Each door in the series pairs has a 1-1/2hr fire rating, providing 3-hr fire rated protection for the barriers in which they are located. Each pair of doors in series is on opposite ends of an airlock. The door pairs are required for steam exclusion and High Energy Line Break (HELB), along with Appendix R, necessitating that the pair of doors can both open at the same time. As such, the doors are not provided with positive latching mechanisms. The doors swing into Fire Area 61A from Fire Area 2 and Fire Area 76. A fire in Fire Area 61A will not spread into Fire Area 2 or Fire Area 76 even though the doors are not provided with positive latching because any increase in pressure due to a fire in Fire Area 61A will push the doors back onto their door stops, preventing them from opening. Fire Area 61A is in compliance with Appendix R since all required safe shutdown functions are available from the control room. As such, fire spreading through the doors due to postulated fires in either Fire Area 2 or Fire Area 76 will not impact on fire safe shutdown capability. EEEE Title FPEE 01086132-01, Condition/Fire Protection Evaluation Adequacy of the fire boundary between Fire Area 76 (Vent and Fan Room, Unit 2, 755© Auxiliary Building) and Fire Area 92 (Water Chiller Room, Unit 2, 755© Auxiliary Building) without an installed three-hour fire damper Summary The purpose of this evaluation is to address the adequacy of the fire boundary between Fire Area 76 (Vent and Fan Room, Unit 2, 755© Auxiliary Building) and Fire Area 92 (Water Chiller Room, Unit 2, 755© Auxiliary Building) without an installed three-hour fire damper in a duct transversing the barrier. Although the duct work is not in a fire-tested configuration, the construction of the duct itself provides a one-hour measure of fire protection. Additionally, a lack of combustibles and ignition sources in the vicinity of the duct, as well as control of transient combustibles, minimizes the risk of fire. Should a fire occur, area-wide detection would quickly alert operators to the presence of products of combustion. The existing duct Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 12 configuration (without damper) provides adequate protection from a fire in Fire Area 76 propagating into Fire Area 92. EEEE Title AR 1352782, Class B (1.5 hour) fire doors in Appendix R-required fire barriers Summary This evaluation demonstrates that the Class B doors are compliant to the requirements of the SER. The maximum fire exposure duration to a 1.5 hour fire door protecting an Appendix R area, as bound by this evaluation, is 31 minutes. Applying a "one-half barrier rating" acceptance criteria, the 1.5 hour doors in Appendix R barriers are acceptable due to the maximum exposure being less than one-half of the 1.5 hour rating. Variances from Deterministic Requirements (VFDR) VFDR-002 01 This variance is due to fire-induced loss of function for 121 and 122 safeguard chillers due to fire damage to cables for MTR-112G-11, MTR-112G-12, MTR-112G-5, MTR-122G-11, MTR-122G-12, and MTR-122G-5. This could fail both trains of chillers and result in control room and relay room temperature above limits. Components and Cables: 121 Control Room Chiller, MTR-112G-11 (1CA-546, 1CA-547) 121 Control Room Chilled Water Pump, MTR-112G-12 (1CA-54, 1CA-546, 1CA-547) 121 Control Room Air Handler, MTR-112G-5 (1CA-484, 1CA-485) 122 Control Room Chiller, MTR-122G-11 (1CB-412, 1CB-413) 122 Control Room Chilled Water Pump, MTR-122G-12 (1CB-397, 1CB-412, 1CB-413) 122 Control Room Air Handler, MTR-122G-5 (1CB-340, 1CB-341)
This condition represents a variance from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3, due to lack of separation between redundant trains of safeguards chilled water. This is a separation issue for Vital Auxiliaries. Compliant Case: The ability to maintain Control Room temperature within limits should be available, to keep temperatures below the point at which significant instrument drift is assumed to occur, and subsequent loss of control of plant equipment could result. Disposition Recovery Action(s): The recovery action for this variance is to put a fan in the records room door to provide control room cooling per procedure C37.9 AOP1. This action takes place between the control room, FA13 (FDZ 57), and the records room, FA 12 (FDZ 25). This will ensure that Control Room temperature stays in the required range to prevent loss of control of plant equipment. The recovery action for this variance is to open the door to the relay room to provide relay room cooling per procedure C37.9 AOP2. This action takes place in the Relay and Cable Spreading Room, FA 18 (FDZ 12). This will ensure that Relay Room temperature stays in the required range to prevent loss of control of plant equipment. This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with a recovery action credited.

Two separate code editions are evaluated in this review based on the time period of initial ductwork and damper installations and subsequent modifications to include additional fire dampers as a result of the 1979 NRC Fire Protection Safety Evaluation Report, along with changes to incorporate additional criteria such as steam exclusion. One deviation has been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Four deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliances associated with the criteria to shut down HVAC systems during the performance of hot work, the lack of fire dampers in specified horizontal and vertical fire barriers, and the location of two sets of fire dampers outside of the plane of the barrier. Action Requests have been initiated to track resolution of the identified issues.

Water from other sources will drain out doors and drains which will minimize the potential for flooding damage; such that the standing water would not affect safety related electrical equipment which is mounted on pedestals above the floor level minimizing the potential for flooding damage. Therefore, fire suppression activities are not expected to adversely affect achievement of the nuclear safety performance criteria.
The PINGP fire brigade is trained to discharge water in a judicious manner and instructed to direct hose streams and portable extinguishers at the base of the fire to limit the amount of overspray beyond the immediate fire area. For this reason, fire brigade activities are not expected to fail components not already considered damaged.

This evaluation also assesses the adequacy of the assemblies to provide adequate protection for the 3-hour barrier in which they are located. The bases for this conclusion include the following: Postulated fires north of Unit 1 Door 95 and Unit 2 Door 94 would not adversely impact on redundant safe shutdown capability in Fire Area 58 and Fire Area 73 based on approved exemption requests for lack of automatic suppression that rely on enclosing Division B safe shutdown cable in one hour rated fire barriers, enclosing Division A safe shutdown cable trays in the vicinity of MCCs and at specified coordinates in one hour rated fire barriers, low combustible loading, automatic detection, and fire brigade response. Postulated fire spread south through the unrated penetrations and 1/4-in checker steel plate from Fire Area 58 or Fire Area 73 to Fire Area 4 will not impact on safe shutdown capability since the only cables of concern for safe shutdown in the event of a fire in Fire Area 4 are 1CT-1, 16408-1, and 15407-3. These cables provide offsite power from the CT transformer to Bus 15 and Bus 16 and run from FA 4 to FA 58/73. The 1R transformer remains available to provide offsite power to Bus 15 and Bus 16 in these areas. Since these cables are also routed in Fire Areas 58 and 73, Doors 95 and 94 do not separate redundant trains of safe shutdown equipment. A minimum of 50% of the combustible loading is associated with Kerite cables in the overhead trays that pass through the unrated penetration seals in the 1/4-in checker steel plate. Kerite cable is of thermoset construction and will not result in a fire without an external fire source. Trash receptacle and transient combustible fires that also involve the racks of plastic rolls and material in the metal enclosed cabinets south of Unit 1 Door 95 or the 8.5% hydrogen cylinders south of Unit 2 Door 94 could generate enough energy to ignite the cables in the cable trays. Flame propagation along thermoset cables is about 3mm per second or 3-1/2ft per hour. Due to the swing of Unit 1 Door 95 and Unit 2 Door 94 into the corridor portions of Fire Area 4, the trash receptacle and transient combustible fire would be at least 4ft away from the unrated penetrations and 1/4-in checker steel plate, with a burn time of upwards of one hour required before a cable tray fire would impact on the barrier. Automatic detection in the corridors on both sides of Unit 1 Door 95 and Unit 2 Door 94 would actuate Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 21 early in the fire. Detection alarms would result in prompt response by the fire brigade. Hose stations are available on both sides of Unit 1 Door 95 and Unit 2 Door 94 for fire fighting purposes. Fire brigade response would be effective in controlling and extinguishing postulated fires prior to the fire spreading through the unrated penetrations and impacting on fire safe shutdown capability on the north sides of Unit 1 Door 95 and Unit 2 Door
- 94. The main open area of Fire Area 4 extends up to the 755ft elevation. The minimal continuity of intervening combustibles (although some combustible materials may be present in the intervening space) combined with the open area above the location of combustible materials in this location effectively ensures that a fire in one corridor of Fire Area 4 will not spread across the open area and back into the opposite corridor. As such, a fire in one corridor in Fire Area 4 will not result in a simultaneous fire in the opposite corridor, and the unsealed penetrations and 1/4-in checker steel plates above Unit 1 Door 95 and Unit 2 Door 94 will not be challenged by the same fire simultaneously. EEEE Title CA-01311057-01, Fire Doors 146/181 and 147/273 Summary The purpose of this evaluation is to assess two pairs of fire doors in series, Fire Doors 181/146 and 147/273. Each door in the series pairs has a 1-1/2hr fire rating, providing 3-hr fire rated protection for the barriers in which they are located. Each pair of doors in series is on opposite ends of an airlock. The door pairs are required for steam exclusion and High Energy Line Break (HELB), along with Appendix R, necessitating that the pair of doors can both open at the same time. As such, the doors are not provided with positive latching mechanisms. The doors swing into Fire Area 61A from Fire Area 2 and Fire Area 76. A fire in Fire Area 61A will not spread into Fire Area 2 or Fire Area 76 even though the doors are not provided with positive latching because any increase in pressure due to a fire in Fire Area 61A will push the doors back onto their door stops, preventing them from opening. Fire Area 61A is in compliance with Appendix R since all required safe shutdown functions are available from the control room. As such, fire spreading through the doors due to postulated fires in either Fire Area 2 or Fire Area 76 will not impact on fire safe shutdown capability. EEEE Title AR 1266236-01, Basis for the use of (2) 1 1/2 Hour Rated Fire Doors in a (3) Hour Fire Rated Barrier Summary The purpose of this evaluation is to address the adequacy of Class B (1.5 hour) fire doors in Appendix R-required fire barriers. This evaluation, through the use of a bounding condition, finds that the lesser-rated doors, where used in PINGP, are acceptable given the combustible loading and available suppression systems of the areas. EEEE Title FPEE-11-008, NFPA 13, 1980 Code Compliance Deviations, DM-7, Resin - Rad Waste Storage Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of the DM-7 manually-actuated sprinkler system protecting the Low Level Radwaste Enclosure in Fire Area 93 and the Truck Loading Enclosure in Fire Area 67 for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 13 -1980, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems (Code of Record). Two deviations have been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Four deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliance associated with the lack of isolation valve position verification and flow testing through the system drain, the use of sprinklers with different temperature ratings, the distance of sprinklers below the pitched roof and the position of deflectors in the Truck Loading Enclosure, and the manual mode of the closed head sprinkler system operation that could challenge the capability of the system to control a large fire, along with the misidentification of the system operating characteristics in program documents. An Action Request has been initiated to track resolution of the four identified issues. EEEE Title FPEE-11-048, NFPA 72E, 1974, 1982, 1987 Plant Areas / Systems Not Addressed in FPP-5 R2 Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of automatic fire detectors not previously reviewed in FPP-5 R2, NFPA 72E Code Compliance Evaluation, dated April 21, 2004. One issue has been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Two recommendations are provided to consider augmenting detection actuation device coverage in Fire Area 25 (Diesel Generator 1) and in Fire Area 18 (Relay and Computer Room) pending the results of the Fire PRA. If the Fire PRA relies on the capabilities of the detection actuation devices for suppression system actuation, then additional actions will be required. An action request is tracking resolution of both issues. 6.4 Additional actions are required in the Screenhouse (electric fire pump enclosure) to resolve the lack of a heat actuating device in the electric fire pump enclosure, and in the Annulus of each unit to address the Appendix A commitment to a preaction sprinkler system that is actuated by HADs in the Annulus of each unit. Action requests have been initiated to track resolution of the identified issues.
Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 22 EEEE Title FPEE-11-049, NFPA 80, 1968 Code Compliance Deviations Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of required fire doors in F5 Appendix K fire barriers for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 80 -1968, Standard for Fire Doors and Windows (Code of Record). Six deviations have been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Eight deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliance associated with use of gates not doors in required fire barriers, insulation attached to the inside of a required door, access openings through three doors, four doors for which a fire rating could not be determined (two of which include transoms), the qualification of frames in fire door assemblies, transoms with penetrations above two rated doors, doors that would not close under airflow, and two sets of door combinations without positive latching. Each item is being tracked in the corrective action program. EEEE Title FPEE-11-052, NFPA 13, 1969, 1980, 1989 Code Compliance Deviations, SWP-1, 12, 2, 4, 3, 13, 14, 5, 6, 31, D5/D6 stairwells Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of the wet pipe sprinkler systems protecting stairways. The stairway suppression systems addressed in this analysis are SWP-1, SWP-2, SWP-3, SWP-4, SWP-5, SWP-6, SWP-12, SWP-13, SWP-14, SWP-31, and the D5/D6 Building Stair (identified as 2FP-92-2, the system isolation valve, in F5 Appendix F, Fire Hazards Analysis.) The stairway suppression systems are located in the Turbine, Auxiliary, Radwaste, Service, and D5/D6 Buildings. The systems have been reviewed for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems. The codes of record for these systems are: NFPA 13-1969: SWP-1, SWP-2, SWP-3, SWP-4, SWP-5, SWP-6, SWP-12, SWP-13, SWP-14 NFPA 13-1980: SWP-31 NFPA 13-1989: D5/D6 Building Stair Five deviations have been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Four deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliance associated with flushing of the D5/D6 Stair, pressure gauges that read higher than maximum system pressure, pendent heads without return bends all stairway systems except SWP-31 and the D5/D6 Stair, and a missing protective canopy over a sprinkler in SWP-14. Action Requests have been initiated to track resolution of the identified issues. EEEE Title FPEE-12-005, CA-01311402-03, Fire Doors 136 & 139 Summary The purpose of this evaluation is to assess Doors 136 and 139, both of which have 12in by 12in access openings near the bottom of the door to pass temporary materials such as hoses. The openings are protected by 14in by 14in access opening metal cover plates that are secured closed when not in use. The doors are in series on opposite ends of the airlock in the boundaries between Fire Area 4 (Fuel Handling Area) and Fire Area 64 (Auxiliary Building Low Level Decay Area Unit 1) on the 695ft elevation of the Fuel Handling Building. Fire Doors 136 and 139, inclusive of the 1/16in access opening metal cover plate assemblies that cover both sides of the access openings in each door, provide adequate protection to prevent fire spread between Fire Area 4 and Fire Area 64. In the unlikely event that fire does spread between the two areas, there will be no adverse impact on safe shutdown capability. The 1R and 2RY transformers remain available from the Control Room to provide offsite power to Bus 15 and Bus 16, and to Bus 25 and Bus 26, respectively, given a fire in either or both of these areas, and Bus 16 will be isolated from a postulated fault on its normal offsite power feed by implementation of existing local manual actions.

EEEE Title FPEE-12-002; CA-01327430-1, Steam Line Pipe Penetrations without Penetration Seals PENF-1526, PENF-1528, PENF-1689, & PENF-1692 Summary The purpose of this evaluation is to assess the impact on fire safe shutdown capability of four main steam line penetrations that are not provided with 3-hour fire rated penetration seals in G wall separating the Turbine Operating Deck from the 735ft elevation of the Auxiliary Building. The types, quantities, and continuity of combustible materials in Fire Area 60 or Fire Area 75 would not result in a sufficient heat release rate or fire to spread to, or spread through, the main steam line penetrations into Fire Area 8. The Turbine Stop Valves in Fire Area 8 are between 50ft and 70ft from the main steam line penetrations through G-wall. The only postulated fires that could result in damage to the Turbine Stop Valves and be large enough to potentially spread to the main steam line penetrations would involve either a turbine bearing oil fire or a catastrophic failure of the turbine oil system. The turbine bearings are protected by an automatically-actuated preaction sprinkler system that will respond to postulated turbine bearing oil fires and result in prompt fire brigade response. Postulated catastrophic turbine oil system failures could result in very severe fires; however, the area where oil piping runs and oil can spread are protected by automatic wet pipe sprinkler systems. Postulated turbine bearing oil fires and postulated catastrophic turbine oil system failure fires would result in significant heat release rates and smoke production; however, the large volume of the turbine building combined with the existing roof exhaust fans and smoke hatches that are fitted with automatic releases would release smoke and hot gas to the environment and delay the effects of such fires from banking down to the level of the main steam line penetrations located 50ft below the roof. The main steam line penetrations have limited annular gaps, 10in, for passage of fire effects to Fire Area 60 and Fire Area 75. There is very limited continuity of combustible materials in Fire Areas 60 and Fire Area 75 for fire to spread from Fire Area 8 to the vicinity of the MSlVs and solenoid valves. Postulated fires in Fire Area 8, Fire Area 60, and Fire Area 75 would not adversely impact redundant safe shutdown capability consisting of the Turbine Stop Valves in Fire Area 8 and the MSIVs and solenoid valves in Fire Area 60 and Fire Area 75. EEEE Title FPEE-11-022, NFPA 90A, 1969, 1978 Code Compliance Deviations Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of HVAC systems and fire dampers for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 90A - 1969 and NFPA 90A - 1978, Standard for Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems (Codes of Record.) Two separate code editions are evaluated in this review based on the time period of initial ductwork and damper installations and subsequent modifications to include additional fire dampers as a result of the 1979 NRC Fire Protection Safety Evaluation Report, along with changes to incorporate additional criteria such as steam exclusion. One deviation has been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Four deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliances associated with the criteria to shut down HVAC systems during the performance of hot work, the lack of fire dampers in specified horizontal and vertical fire barriers, and the location of two sets of fire dampers outside of the plane of the barrier.

EEEE Title FPEE-11-049, NFPA 80, 1968 Code Compliance Deviations Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of required fire doors in F5 Appendix K fire barriers for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 80 -1968, Standard for Fire Doors and Windows (Code of Record). Six deviations have been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Eight deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliance associated with use of gates, not doors in required fire barriers, insulation attached to the inside of a required door, access openings through three doors, four doors for which a fire rating could not be determined (two of which include transoms), the qualification of frames in fire door assemblies, transoms with penetrations above two rated doors, doors that would not close under airflow, and two sets of door combinations without positive latching. Each deviation is being tracked in the corrective action system. EEEE Title FPEE-12-001, CA-01314253-01, VFD-63 & VFD-64 Summary The purpose of this evaluation is to assess VFD-63 and VFD-64, located on the 755ft elevation of the Auxiliary Building in Fire Area 2 and Fire Area 76, respectively. Exposure fires in Fire Area 8, Fire Area 2, and Fire Area 76 would not be expected to cause failure of the 6 inch diameter 14 gauge steel duct pipe between the fire damper in the 1ft x 2ft steel enclosure and G-wall. The duct pipes are securely attached with bolts to both sides of the steel enclosures. The construction of the steel enclosures and duct pipes, along with method of attachment, are capable of withstanding the impact of postulated exposure fires to which they could be exposed. Fire Area 8, Fire Area 2, and Fire Area 76 are in compliance with Appendix R since all required safe shutdown functions are available from the control room, with manual actions following C37.9 AOP1 and C37.9 AOP2 credited in Fire Area 2 to establish temporary Control Room and Relay Room HVAC. As such, fires in Fire Area 8, Fire Area 2, and Fire Area 76 that spread through G-wall due to failure of 6 inch diameter 14 gauge steel pipe between G-wall and VFD-63 and VFD-64 will not impact safe shutdown capability. EEEE Title FPEE-11-048, NFPA 72E, 1974, 1982, 1987 Plant Areas / Systems Not Addressed in FPP-5 R2 Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of automatic fire detectors not previously reviewed in FPP-5 R2, NFPA 72E Code Compliance Evaluation, dated April 21, 2004. One issue has been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Two recommendations are provided to consider augmenting detection actuation device coverage in Fire Area 25 (Diesel Generator 1) and in Fire Area 18 (Relay and Computer Room) pending the results of the Fire PRA. If the Fire PRA relies on the capabilities of the detection actuation devices for suppression system actuation, then additional actions will be required. An action request is tracking resolution of both issues. Additional actions are required in the Screenhouse (electric fire pump enclosure) to resolve the lack of a heat actuating device in the electric fire pump enclosure, and in the Annulus of each unit to address the Appendix A commitment to a preaction sprinkler system that is actuated by HADs in the Annulus of each unit. Action requests in the Corrective Action Program are tracking resolution of the identified issues. EEEE Title FPEE 01151461, Evaluation of Non-Compliance with Preventive Maintenance Procedure PM 3122-3, Shield Building Category 1 Vent Zone, Fire and Security Door Inspection Summary The purpose of this evaluation is to analyze the fire doors that exceed the gap criteria of Preventive Maintenance Procedure PM 3122-3, Shield Building Category 1 Vent Zone, Fire and Security Door Inspection. Twelve of the fourteen doors are acceptable in their current configuration. Door 43 should be replaced due to the skin separation from the door frame. Door 429 should receive field maintenance to adjust the hinges to remove the gap. If this is not successful, the door should be replaced. Doors 34, 54, and 63 should be re-inspected. The field verification could not determine gaps exceeding the acceptance criteria for these doors. If the re-inspection does determine the gaps are non-compliant, the evaluation of each door as contained in this evaluation is applicable and the doors are acceptable as-is.

Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 30 Variances from Deterministic Requirements (VFDR) VFDR-069 01 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements is due to a fire in FA 069 that could damage cables 1CA-1109, 1CA-1111, and 1CA-1248. Damage to cable 1CA-1109 could cause CV-31998 to spuriously close. Damage to cables 1CA-1111 or 1CA-1248 could cause CV-31153, 11 TDAFW Pump recirculation lube oil cooler line to close and also damage the 11 TDAFW Pump. The Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria is not met for Decay Heat Removal. This represents a variance from the deterministic requirements (VFDR) of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3, lack of separation between redundant trains of Decay Heat Removal. Components and Cables: CV-31998 1CA-1109 CV-31153 1CA-1111 1CA-1248 Compliant Case: One train of Decay Heat Removal should remain available. Disposition Recovery Action(s): No recovery action. Modification to eliminate the possibility that a fire could cause CV-31998 to spuriously close (Table S-2). This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with a plant modification credited.

Safety related electrical equipment is mounted on pedestals above the floor level minimizing the potential for flooding damage. Water will drain out doors or via stairways or through grating to lower elevations, such that the standing water would not affect safety-related equipment. Therefore, fire suppression activities are not expected to adversely affect achievement of the nuclear safety performance criteria.
The PINGP fire brigade is trained to discharge water in a judicious manner and instructed to direct hose streams and portable extinguishers at the base of the fire to limit the amount of overspray beyond the immediate fire area. For this reason, fire brigade activities are not expected to fail components not already considered damaged.

Six deviations have been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Eight deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliance associated with use of gates, not doors in required fire barriers, insulation attached to the inside of a required door, access openings through three doors, four doors for which a fire rating could not be determined (two of which include transoms), the qualification of frames in fire door assemblies, transoms with penetrations above two rated doors, doors that would not close under airflow, and two sets of door combinations without positive latching. Each deviation is being tracked in the corrective action system.
Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 35 Variances from Deterministic Requirements (VFDR) VFDR-10 01 This variance is caused by loss of Relay/Cable Spreading Room cooling due to fire damage to cables for MTR 112G-15, MTR 112G-17, MTR 122G-11, and MTR 122G-12. Fire damage to cables associated with MTR 112G-15 and MTR 112G-17 results in the loss of the Train A Relay/Cable Spreading room unit coolers. Fire damage to the cables associated with MTR 122G-11 and MTR 122G-12 result in the loss of the B Train of the Chilled Water System. Both of these failures together result in the loss of all Relay/Cable Spreading Room cooling. This condition would challenge the Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria for Vital Auxiliaries. This condition represents a variance from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3, due to lack of separation between redundant trains of safeguards chilled water. This is a separation issue for Vital Auxiliaries. Components and Cables: 121N Relay Room Unit Cooler, MTR-112G-15 (1HVA-92) 121S Relay Room Unit Cooler, MTR-112G-17 (1HVA-88) 122 Cont Room Chiller, MTR-122G-11 (1CB-412, 1CB-413) 122 Cont Room Chilled Water Pump, MTR-122G-12 (1CB-397, 1CB-412, 1CB-413) PNL-119 (1T1-36, 1T1-37) Compliant Case: One train of Relay/Cable Spreading Room cooling should remain unaffected by a fire, to maintain temperatures below the point at which significant instrument drift is assumed to occur, and subsequent loss of control of plant equipment could result. Disposition Recovery Action: Open the door to the relay room to provide cooling per procedure C37.9 AOP2. This action takes place in the Relay and Cable Spreading Room, FA 18 (FDZ 12). This will ensure that relay/cable spreading room temperature stays in the required range to prevent loss of control of plant equipment.
This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with a recovery action credited.

Water from other sources will drain out doors and drains which will minimize the potential for flooding damage; such that the standing water would not affect safety related electrical equipment which is mounted on pedestals above the floor level minimizing the potential for flooding damage. Therefore, fire suppression activities are not expected to adversely affect achievement of the nuclear safety performance criteria. The PINGP fire brigade is trained to discharge water in a judicious manner and instructed to direct hose streams and portable extinguishers at the base of the fire to limit the amount of overspray beyond the immediate fire area. For this reason, fire brigade activities are not expected to fail components not already considered damaged.

One deviation was identified to the code requirements. The existing deviation is acceptable as-is. Two deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliance associated with the quantities of CO2 required to achieve and maintain a 50% concentration for 15 minutes with sufficient gas for a second shot, taking into account the level indicator calibration tolerance. Action requests have been initiated to track resolution of the identified issues. EEEE Title FPEE-11-048, NFPA 72E, 1974, 1982, 1987 Plant Areas / Systems Not Addressed in FPP-5 R2 Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of automatic fire detectors not previously reviewed in FPP-5 R2, NFPA 72E Code Compliance Evaluation, dated April 21, 2004. One issue has been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Two recommendations are provided to consider augmenting detection actuation device coverage in Fire Area 25 (Diesel Generator 1) and in Fire Area 18 (Relay and Computer Room) pending the results of the Fire PRA. If the Fire PRA relies on the capabilities of the detection actuation devices for suppression system actuation, then additional actions will be required. An action request is tracking resolution of both issues. 6.4 Additional actions are required in the Screenhouse (electric fire pump enclosure) to resolve the lack of a heat actuating device in the electric fire pump enclosure, and in the Annulus of each unit to address the Appendix A commitment to a preaction sprinkler system that is actuated by HADs in the Annulus of each unit. Action requests have been initiated to track resolution of the identified issues. EEEE Title FPEE-11-049, NFPA 80, 1968 Code Compliance Deviations Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of required fire doors in F5 Appendix K fire barriers for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 80 -1968, Standard for Fire Doors and Windows (Code of Record). Six deviations have been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Eight deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliance associated with use of gates, not doors in required fire barriers, insulation attached to the inside of a required door, access openings through three doors, four doors for which a fire rating could not be determined (two of which include transoms), the qualification of frames in fire door assemblies, transoms with penetrations above two rated doors, doors that would not close under airflow, and two sets of door combinations without positive latching. Each deviation is being tracked in the corrective action system. EEEE Title FPEE-11-022, NFPA 90A, 1969, 1978 Code Compliance Deviations Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of HVAC systems and fire dampers for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 90A - 1969 and NFPA 90A - 1978, Standard for Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems (Codes of Record.) Two separate code editions are evaluated in this review based on the time period of initial ductwork and damper installations and subsequent modifications to include additional fire dampers as a result of the 1979 NRC Fire Protection Safety Evaluation Report, along with changes to incorporate additional criteria such as steam exclusion. One deviation has been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Four deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliances associated with the criteria to shut down HVAC systems during the performance of hot work, the lack of fire dampers in specified horizontal and vertical fire barriers, and the location of two sets of fire dampers outside of the plane of the barrier. Action Requests have been initiated to track resolution of the identified issues.

The CO2 system was designed and installed in accordance with NFPA 12, Standard on Carbon Dioxide Extinguishing Systems, 1972. Chapter 1123. states "Some of the more important types of hazards and equipment that carbon dioxide systems may satisfactorily protect include: 1. Gaseous and liquid flammable materials. 2. Electrical hazards such as transformers, oil switches and circuit breakers, and rotating equipment.
- 3. Engines utilizing gasoline and other flammable fuels.
- 4. Ordinary combustibles such as paper, wood and textiles. 5. Hazardous solids". Fire Area 18 contains predominantly cable insulation, plastic, and ordinary combustibles, therefore, no damage to equipment relied on to achieve the Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria goals from the discharge of the system is expected. Firefighting water will drain out doors and drains which will minimize the potential for flooding damage; such that the standing water would not affect safety related electrical equipment which is mounted on pedestals above the floor level minimizing the potential for flooding damage. Therefore, fire suppression activities are not expected to adversely affect achievement of the nuclear safety performance criteria. The PINGP fire brigade is trained to discharge water in a judicious manner and instructed to direct hose streams and portable extinguishers at the base of the fire to limit the amount of overspray beyond the immediate fire area. For this reason, fire brigade activities are not expected to fail components not already considered damaged.

Two separate code editions are evaluated in this review based on the time period of initial ductwork and damper installations and subsequent modifications to include additional fire dampers as a result of the 1979 NRC Fire Protection Safety Evaluation Report, along with changes to incorporate additional criteria such as steam exclusion. One deviation has been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Four deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliances associated with the criteria to shut down HVAC systems during the performance of hot work, the lack of fire dampers in specified horizontal and vertical fire barriers, and the location of two sets of fire dampers outside of the plane of the barrier. Action Requests have been initiated to track resolution of the identified issues. EEEE Title FPEE-11-049, NFPA 80, 1968 Code Compliance Deviations Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of required fire doors in F5 Appendix K fire barriers for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 80 -1968, Standard for Fire Doors and Windows (Code of Record). Six deviations have been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Eight deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliance associated with use of gates, not doors in required fire barriers, insulation attached to the inside of a required door, access openings through three doors, four doors for which a fire rating could not be determined (two of which include transoms), the qualification of frames in fire door assemblies, transoms with Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 92 penetrations above two rated doors, doors that would not close under airflow, and two sets of door combinations without positive latching. Each deviation is being tracked in the corrective action system. Variances from Deterministic Requirements (VFDR) VFDR-020 01 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements is caused by fire damage to Bus 16 and cables that could affect operation of Bus 15. Fire could damage the 1RY bus duct that supplies offsite power to Bus 15 and Bus 16. Fire could also damage a cable affecting the CT 11 offsite power supply to Bus 15 and Bus 16. Fire damage could cause loss of remote control and spurious operation of BKR 15-3 (1RY Offsite Source to 4.16KV Bus 15) that prevents D1 from powering Bus 15. Local manual action is required in order to open BKR 15-3 so that Bus 15 can be repowered from the D1 Emergency Diesel Generator. Fire damage could prevent the Load Sequencer from automatically re-powering Bus 15. If RCP seal cooling is not restored within 15 minutes, seal leakage could increase. This condition represents a variance from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3 lack of separation between redundant trains of safeguards AC power. The NFPA 805 Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria is not met for Vital Auxiliaries AC power. Components and Cables: 1RY Bus Duct to BUS 15/16 16408 CT11 source to BUS 15/16

This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with plant modifications. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 93 VFDR-020 02 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements is caused by fire damage which causes loss of the normal power feed from 13 Inverter to 120VAC Panel 113. Loss of Panel 113 causes CV-31198 (Charging Line to 11 Regenerative Heat Exchanger CV) to fail open causing diversion of flow from RCP seal injection to charging. This condition represents a variance from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3. The Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria is not met for Inventory Control. Components and Cables: 13 Inverter to 120 VAC Panel 113 (1CX-99) This represents a variation from the deterministic requirements (VFDR) of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3 due to a lack of separation between redundant trains of RCP seal cooling. Compliant Case: Control of CV-31198 should remain available from the Control Room. Recovery Action(s): No recovery actions.
Modification to protect load sequencer so CC to the RCP THBX remains available by restoring power to Bus 15 (Table S-2). VFDR-020 03 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements is caused by fire damage which causes loss of the normal power feed from 13 Inverter to Panel 113. Loss of Panel 113 causes loss of Control Room indication for instrument Loops 1N51 (Unit 1 Excore Detection Train A), 1T-450A (Unit 1 RCS Loop A Hot Leg Temperature) and 1T-450B (Unit 1 RCS Loop A Cold Leg Temperature). This condition represents a variance from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3. The NFPA 805 Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria is not met for Process Monitoring. Components and Cables: 13 Inverter to 120 VAC Panel 113 (1CX-99)
This condition represents a variance from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3. The NFPA 805 Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria is not met for Process Monitoring.
Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 94 Compliant Case: One train of Process monitoring instrumentation should remain functional in the Control Room.

This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with plant modifications. VFDR-020 05 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements is caused by fire damage to cable 1CW-99, which causes loss of the normal power feed from 11 Inverter to Panel 111. Loss of Panel 111 results in the loss of Control Room indication for instrument Loop 1L-487 (11 SG Wide Range Level) displayed on Level Recorder 1LR-470. This condition represents a variance from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3. The NFPA 805 Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria is not met for Process Monitoring. Components and Cables: Panel 111, Instrument Bus II, (1CW-99) This condition represents a variance from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3, due to lack of separation between redundant trains of process monitoring. The NFPA 805 Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria is not met for Process Monitoring. Compliant Case: One train of Process monitoring instrumentation should remain functional in the Control Room. Disposition Recovery Action(s): No recovery actions. Modification to protect 1CW-99 from a fire in this area. One train of process monitoring will remain available (Table S-2). This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with plant modifications. VFDR-020 06 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements is caused by fire damage to cables for Bus 11 and Bus 12 that prevent tripping the 11 and 12 Main Feedwater Pumps which could cause an over-fill of the steam generators. Damage to cables 1DCA-4 and Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 95 1DCB-18 would prevent crediting the Main Feedwater Regulating Valves. This condition represents a variance from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3. The NFPA 805 Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria is not met for Decay Heat Removal. The NFPA Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria is not met for Decay Heat Removal.

The NFPA 805 Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria is not met for Process Monitoring. Compliant Case: Control for 12 Main Feedwater Pump (MTR 12-3) should remain available from the Control Room. Control of 11 Main Feedwater Pump (MTR 11-3) should remain available from the Control Room. Disposition Recovery Action(s): No recovery actions. Modification to re-route cable 1DCA-4 out of FA 20 (similar to cable 1CX-99, and, 1CW-99) to ensure automatic main feedwater isolation can be credited (Table S-2). This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with a plant modification. VFDR-020 07 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements is caused by fire damage to cables 16403-A, 16403-C, 16403-D, 16403-E and 1CB-16 causing a spurious start of 12 AFW Pump (MTR 16-3). This can result in SG overfill and failure of the credited 11 Turbine-driven AFW Pump. Components and Cables: MTR 16-3 (16403-A, 16403-C, 16403-D, 16403-E and 1CB-16). This condition represents a variance from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3, due to lack of separation Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 96 between redundant trains of decay heat removal due to over-fill of steam generator. The NFPA Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria is not met for Decay Heat Removal. Compliant Case: Control of 12 AFW Pump (MTR 16-3) should be available from the Control Room. Disposition Recovery Action(s): Throttle MV-32238 and MV-32239 from the control room to prevent SG over-fill if 12 MDAFW Pump is spuriously running. De-energize MV-32381 (12 MD AFW Pump Discharge to 11 SG MV) at MCC 1A2, BKR 121E-17 in FA-32. De-energize MV-32382 (12 MD AFW Pump Discharge to 12 SG MV) at MCC 1A2, BKR 121E-18 in FA-32. Locally close MV-32381 and MV-32382 in FA-32 to isolate the uncontrolled feed to 11 and 12 SG.

Six deviations have been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Eight deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliance associated with use of gates, not doors in required fire barriers, insulation attached to the inside of a required door, access openings through three doors, four doors for which a fire rating could not be determined (two of which include transoms), the qualification of frames in fire door assemblies, transoms with penetrations above two rated doors, doors that would not close under airflow, and two sets of door combinations without positive latching. Each deviation is being tracked in the corrective action system.
Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 101 Variances from Deterministic Requirements (VFDR) VFDR-022 01 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements results in loss of automatic backwash to 11, 12, 21 and 22 Cooling Water (CL) Strainers, due to fire damage to cable 1CB-374. This could fail the function of the cooling water strainers to automatically backwash on a high differential pressure (dp). Damage to control cable 1CB-374 affects components CV-31652, CV-31653, CV-31654, CV-31655, MTR-111C-21, MTR-111C-22, MTR-121C-21 and MTR-121C-22. Damage to cable 1CB-374 causes a loss of automatic backwash capability for all CL Strainers when the strainers are in the Normal Control Mode. Loss of automatic backwash capability for cooling water strainers MTR-111C-21 and 111C-22 can result in the loss of cooling water to the credited A Loop header. One strainer with automatic backwash capability is required per cooling water loop header. The A Loop header is credited to supply cooling water to the necessary Unit 1 and Unit 2 systems since the credited 12 CL pump supplies this header. The 12 Diesel Driven Cooling Water Pump (DDCLP) is isolated from the non-credited B Loop header from the Control Room. This condition would challenge the Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria for Vital Auxiliaries.

Compliant Case: The ability to automatically backwash the cooling water strainers should remain unaffected by a fire. Disposition Recovery Action(s): An operator action is required to switch the 11 strainer from Normal Control mode to the Emergency Control mode (F5 App D). This action must be performed locally in the plant screenhouse, FA 41A (FDZ 75). This recovery action will prevent plugging of the strainer, and avoid loss of the CL system.
This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with a recovery actions credited. VFDR-022 01 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements is caused by fire damage to cable 1CB-16 causing a spurious start of 12 AFW Pump (MTR 16-3). This can result in SG overfill and failure of the credited 11 Turbine-driven AFW Pump. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 102 This condition represents a variance from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3. The NFPA 805 Nuclear Safety Performance Goal is not met for Decay Heat Removal. Components and Cables: 1CB-16 This condition would challenge the Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria for Decay Heat Removal. This condition represents a variance from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3, due to a lack of separation between redundant trains of decay heat removal due to over-fill of steam generator. Compliant Case: Control of 12 MDAFW Pump (MTR 16-3) should be available from the Control Room. Disposition Recovery Action(s): Locally close MV-32381 and MV-32382 in FA-32 to isolate the uncontrolled feed to 11 and 12 SG. This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with a recovery action credited.

Variances from Deterministic Requirements (VFDR) VFDR-025 01 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements results in loss of automatic backwash to 11, 12, 21, and 22 Cooling Water (CL) Strainers, due to fire damage to cables. Fire damage could potentially cause spurious closure of BKR 15-2 which would close the faulted D1 Emergency Diesel Generator onto 4.16KV Bus 15 resulting in a Bus 15 lockout, or an out of phase parallel of the D1 DSL GEN, 034-011, and Bus 15. Bus 15 is the ultimate power source for 230V Panel 136 which provides the control power to the backwash control panel for all four of the CL Strainers when they are in the Normal Control Mode of backwash operation. Loss of Panel 136 results in the loss of automatic backwash control for all four CL Strainers. This condition would challenge the Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria for Vital Auxiliaries. Components and Cables: BKR 15-2, (15402-G, 15402-1, 15402-K, 1CA-1140, 1CA-1141, 1CA-1142) D1 DSL GEN, 034-011 (1CA-1312) (Reference Safe/Genesis V 4.0.2 for additional affected cables). Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 112 This condition would challenge the Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria for Vital Auxiliaries. This condition represents a variance from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3, due to lack of separation between redundant trains of cooling water strainers. This is a separation issue for Vital Auxiliaries. Compliant Case: The ability to automatically backwash the CL Strainers should be available, to ensure strainer plugging is alleviated so adequate cooling is provided for plant equipment heat loads. This would impact both Unit 1 and Unit 2. Disposition Recovery Action(s): No recovery action credited. Modification to protect BUS-15 (Table S-2).

Two separate code editions are evaluated in this review based on the time period of initial ductwork and damper installations and subsequent modifications to include additional fire dampers as a result of the 1979 NRC Fire Protection Safety Evaluation Report, along with changes to incorporate additional criteria such as steam exclusion. One deviation has been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Four deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliances associated with the criteria to shut down HVAC systems during the performance of hot work, the lack of fire dampers in specified horizontal and vertical fire barriers, and the location of two sets of fire dampers outside of the plane of the barrier. Action Requests have been initiated to track resolution of the identified issues.

Six deviations have been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Eight deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliance associated with use of gates, not doors in required fire barriers, insulation attached to the inside of a required door, access openings through three doors, four doors for which a fire rating could not be determined (two of which include transoms), the qualification of frames in fire door assemblies, transoms with penetrations above two rated doors, doors that would not close under airflow, and two sets of door combinations without positive latching. Each deviation is being tracked in the corrective action system. Variances from Deterministic Requirements (VFDR) VFDR-029 01 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements results in loss of automatic backwash to 11, 12, 21 and 22 Cooling Water (CL) Strainers, due to fire damage to cables. This could fail the function of the cooling water strainers to automatically backwash on a high differential pressure (dp). Damage to control cable 1CA-529 affects components CV-31654, CV-31655, MTR-111C-22, MTR-121C-22. Loss of the cooling water strainers MTR-121C-22 and MTR-111C-22 results in the loss of cooling water to the B Loop header. One strainer is required per cooling water loop header. The B loop header is credited to supply cooling water to the necessary systems since the ability to isolate the loop is available. This condition represents a variance from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3, due to lack of separation between redundant trains of cooling water strainers. This condition would challenge the Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria for Vital Auxiliaries. Components and Cables: 11 Cooling Water Strainer Backwash Control Valve, CV-31652 (1CB-370) 12 Cooling Water Strainer Backwash Control Valve, CV-31653 (1CB-370) 21 Cooling Water Strainer Backwash Control Valve, CV-31654 (1CB-370) 22 Cooling Water Strainer Backwash Control Valve, CV-31655 (1CB-370) 11 Cooling Water Strainer Motor, MTR-111C-21 (1CB-370) 12 Cooling Water Strainer Motor, MTR-121C-21 (1CB-370) 21 Cooling Water Strainer Motor, MTR-111C-22 (1CB-370) 22 Cooling Water Strainer Motor, MTR-121C-22 (1CB-370)
Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 129 This condition represents a variance from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3, due to lack of separation between redundant trains of cooling water strainers. This condition would challenge the Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria for Vital Auxiliaries. Compliant Case: The ability to automatically backwash the cooling water strainers should be available to ensure strainer plugging is alleviated, so adequate cooling is provided for plant equipment heat loads. This would impact both Unit 1 and Unit 2. Disposition Recovery Action(s): A recovery action is required to switch the 22 CL Strainer from Normal Control mode to the Emergency Control mode in order to restore automatic backwash capability. This action must be performed locally in the plant screenhouse, FA 41A (FDZ 75). This recovery action will prevent plugging of the strainers, and avoid loss of the CL system. This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with a recovery action credited. A modification to install a fire door between Fire Area 29 and Fire Area 69 will ensure Cooling Water availability to support operation of D1 for a fire in FA 69. This will ensure compliance with deterministic requirements for D1 Diesel Generator in Fire Area 69 (See Attachment S, Table S-2).

Two separate code editions are evaluated in this review based on the time period of initial ductwork and damper installations and subsequent modifications to include additional fire dampers as a result of the 1979 NRC Fire Protection Safety Evaluation Report, along with changes to incorporate additional criteria such as steam exclusion. One deviation has been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Four deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliances associated with the criteria to shut down HVAC systems during the performance of hot work, the lack of fire dampers in specified horizontal and vertical fire barriers, and the location of two sets of fire dampers outside of the plane of the barrier. Action Requests have been initiated to track resolution of the identified issues. EEEE Title FPEE-11-049, NFPA 80, 1968 Code Compliance Deviations Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of required fire doors in F5 Appendix K fire barriers for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 80 -1968, Standard for Fire Doors and Windows (Code of Record). Six deviations have been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Eight deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliance associated with use of gates, not doors in required fire barriers, insulation attached to the inside of a required door, access openings through three doors, four doors for which a fire rating could not be determined (two of which include transoms), the qualification of frames in fire door assemblies, transoms with penetrations above two rated doors, doors that would not close under airflow, and two sets of door combinations without positive latching. Each deviation is being tracked in the corrective action system. Variances from Deterministic Requirements (VFDR) VFDR-030 01 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements (VFDR) results from fire-induced damage to cable 1CB-370 which affects the Cooling Water Strainer control panel, which could fail the automatic function of the cooling water strainers to backwash on a high differential pressure (dp). Damage to control cable affects components CV-31652, CV-31653, MTR-111C-21, MTR-121C-21, CV-31654, CV-31655, MTR-111C-22, and MTR-121C-22. Loss of the automatic backwash function of the cooling water strainers will result in a reduction of flow to the cooling water header Loop A. One strainer is required per cooling water loop header. The A loop header is credited to supply cooling water to the necessary systems since the ability to isolate the loop is available.
This condition represents a variance from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3, due to lack of separation between redundant trains of cooling water strainers. The NFPA 805 Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria is not met for Vital Auxiliaries Components and Cables: 11 Cooling Water Strainer Backwash Control Valve, CV-31652 (1CB-370) 12 Cooling Water Strainer Backwash Control Valve, CV-31653 (1CB-370) 21 Cooling Water Strainer Backwash Control Valve, CV-31654 (1CB-370) 22 Cooling Water Strainer Backwash Control Valve, CV-31655 (1CB-370) 11 Cooling Water Strainer Motor, MTR-111C-21 (1CB-370) 12 Cooling Water Strainer Motor, MTR-121C-21 (1CB-370) 21 Cooling Water Strainer Motor, MTR-111C-22 (1CB-370) 22 Cooling Water Strainer Motor, MTR-121C-22 (1CB-370) Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 134 This condition represents a variance from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3, due to lack of separation between redundant trains of cooling water strainers. Compliant Case: The automatic backwash function for the cooling water strainers should be available, so adequate cooling is provided for plant equipment heat loads. This would impact both Unit 1 and Unit 2. Disposition Recovery Action(s): A recovery action is required to switch the 11 CL Strainer from Normal Control Mode to Emergency Control Mode. These actions are located in the plant screenhouse, FA41A (FDZ 75). This recovery action will prevent plugging of the strainers, and avoid loss of the CL system. This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with a recovery action credited.

Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 138 EEEE Title FPEE-12-004, CA-01313808-01, AFW Pump Room Ducts without Fire Dampers Summary The purpose of this evaluation is to assess the impact on fire safe shutdown capability of four exhaust ducts and one supply duct that are not provided with 3-hour rated fire dampers in the boundaries of the Auxiliary Feedwater Pump Rooms, Fire Areas 31 and 32. The lack of fire dampers in the ductwork penetrations of the common barrier between the AFW Pump Rooms and the 480V Normal Switchgear Rooms, and between the 480V Normal Switchgear Rooms to the Turbine Buildings, has no impact on safe shutdown capability and is acceptable as is. EEEE Title CA-01040686 (Attachment), NFPA 72E Requirement for Non-Restorable Heat Detectors Evaluation Summary The 2006 NFPA 72E, 1974 edition, code compliance review identified that nonrestorable spot type thermal detectors were not being tested in accordance with the code. Based on the type of fire expected in these fire areas, the generation of smoke will exceed the generation of heat during the incipient stage of a fire. Therefore, the area smoke detection will provide the early warning of a fire. The heat detectors are not credited in the USAR by reference to F5 Appendix K, but will provide a secondary level of automatic detection. Based on the lack of credit given to the heat detectors, the requirements of NFPA 72E are not mandatory and the functional testing for the rate of rise function is adequate. The additional testing of the fixed temperature function through destructive testing at a nationally recognized laboratory is not cost justified for the minor benefit. The lack of meeting the full code requirement for non-restorable heat detection testing will not have adverse effect on safe shutdown for any of the affected fire areas. EEEE Title FPEE 01151461, Evaluation of Non-Compliance with Preventive Maintenance Procedure PM 3122-3, Shield Building Category 1 Vent Zone, Fire and Security Door Inspection Summary The purpose of this evaluation is to analyze the fire doors that exceed the gap criteria of Preventive Maintenance Procedure PM 3122-3, Shield Building Category 1 Vent Zone, Fire and Security Door Inspection. Twelve of the fourteen doors are acceptable in their current configuration. Door 43 should be replaced due to the skin separation from the door frame. Door 429 should receive field maintenance to adjust the hinges to remove the gap. If this is not successful, the door should be replaced. Doors 34, 54, and 63 should be re-inspected. The field verification could not determine gaps exceeding the acceptance criteria for these doors. If the re-inspection does determine the gaps are non-compliant, the evaluation of each door as contained in this evaluation is applicable and the doors are acceptable as-is. Variances from Deterministic Requirements (VFDR) VFDR-031 01 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements results from fire-induced damage to cable 1CB-370 which affects the Cooling Water Strainer control panel, or fire damage to cable 1CB-374, either of which results in loss of automatic backwash to 11, 12, 21 and 22 Cooling Water (CL) Strainers. This could fail the automatic function of the cooling water strainers to automatically backwash on a high differential pressure (dp). Damage to these cables affects components CV-31652, MTR 111C-21, CV-31653, MTR 121C-22, CV-31654, MTR 111C-22, CV-31655, and MTR 121C-22. The NFPA 805 Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria is not met for Vital Auxiliaries. Components and Cables: 11 Cooling Water Strainer Backwash Control Valve, CV-31652 (1CB-370, 1CB-374) 12 Cooling Water Strainer Backwash Control Valve, CV-31653 (1CB-370, 1CB-374) 21 Cooling Water Strainer Backwash Control Valve, CV-31654 (1CB-370, 1CB-374) 22 Cooling Water Strainer Backwash Control Valve, CV-31655 (1CB-370, 1CB-374) 11 Cooling Water Strainer Motor, MTR-111C-21 (1CB-370, 1CB-374) 12 Cooling Water Strainer Motor, MTR-121C-21 (1CB-370, 1CB-374) Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 139 21 Cooling Water Strainer Motor, MTR-111C-22 (1CB-370, 1CB-374) 22 Cooling Water Strainer Motor, MTR-121C-22 (1CB-370, 1CB-374)
This represents a variance from the deterministic requirements (VFDR) of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3 due to the lack of separation between redundant trains of cooling water strainers. Compliant Case: The ability to automatically backwash the cooling water strainers should remain unaffected by a fire in this area. Disposition Recovery Action(s): A recovery action is required to switch the 11 CL strainer from Normal Control Mode to the Emergency Control Mode in order to restore automatic backwash capability (F5 App D). These actions are located in the plant screenhouse, FA 41A (FDZ 75). This recovery action will prevent plugging of the strainers, and avoid loss of the CL system. This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with a recovery action credited. VFDR-031 02 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements is caused by fire damage to 123 Instrument Air Compressor (which is located in FA 031) fire damage to PNL 132 which powers the Unit Cooler for 121 Air Compressor, and fire damage to the power cable to MCC 1A2 which powers PNL 133 which powers the Unit Cooler for the 122 Instrument Air Compressor. Loss of all Instrument Air would eventually fail the Safeguards Chillers which cool the Control Room and Relay Room. The NFPA 805 Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria is not met for Vital Auxiliaries. Components and Cables: 121 Air Compressor failed by loss of PNL 132 (1A1-14, 1A1-15, 1CA-671) 122 Air Compressor failed by loss of cable 121E-1 which powers MCC 1A2 which powers 122 Air Compressor 123 Air Compressor fails because it is located within FA 031 123 Air Compressor, MTR 211E-5 (2A1-1, 2A1-1A, 2C-176, 2C-177, 2C-179, 2CA-770) 123 Air Compressor Unit Cooler, MTR 111E-43 (1HVA-33, 1HVA-34, 1HVA-35, 1HVA-36, 1HVA-41, 1HVA-42, 1HVA-43, 1HVA-44) Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 140 121 Air Compressor Unit Cooler, MTR 111E-44 (1HVA-29) Compliant Case: The 122 Instrument Air Compressor and associated unit cooler should remain free of fire damage to provide compressed air for safeguards chillers to cool the Control Room and Relay Room. Disposition Recovery Action(s): Replace compressed air cylinders for safeguards chilled water system when air pressure drops below the minimum value (C37). This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with a recovery action credited. VFDR-031 01 The Variance From Deterministic Requirements is due to a fire that could damage the 12 Motor Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump (MDAFW Pump) (Train B) and the control switches for the 11 Turbine Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump (TDAFW Pump) discharge valves. Fire damage to control switch CS-51003 could cause spurious closure of MV-32238 which would isolate the 11 TDAFW Pump flow to the credited 11 Steam Generator. Fire damage to control switch CS-51005 could prevent closing MV-32239 which could divert the 11 TDAFW Pump flow to the non-credited 12 Steam Generator. The NFPA 805 Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria is not met for Decay Heat Removal. This condition represents a variance from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3, due to lack of separation between redundant trains of Aux Feedwater. The NFPA 805 Nuclear Safety Performance Goal Criteria is not met for Decay Heat Removal. Components and Cables: 11 AFW to 11 SG MV, MV-32238 (cable 1CA-115 and CS-51003) 11 TDAFW Pump to 12 SG MV, MV-32239 (cable 1CA-116, CS-51005) Compliant Case: Auxiliary Feedwater addition using the 11 TDAFW Pump should be available from the Control Room.

This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with a plant modification credited. VFDR-031 02 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements is due to a fire that could damage MTR 16-3 (12 MDAFW Pump) and power to MCC 1A2 which may be required to close the 12 MDAFW Pump discharge valves. If 12 MDAFW Pump were spuriously running and power was lost to MCC 1A2, the discharge valves would not be able to be closed from the control room. The steam generators could eventually be over-filled which could fail the 11 Turbine Driven AFW Pump. The NFPA 805 Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria is not met for Decay Heat Removal. Components and Cables: 12 MDAFW Pump, MTR 16-3 (16403-C, 1CB-16, 1CB-31, 1CB-920) Motor Control Center 1A Bus 2, MCC 1A2 (121E-1)
This represents a variation from the deterministic requirements (VFDR) of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3 due to a lack of separation between redundant trains of Aux Feedwater. Compliant Case: One Auxiliary Feedwater Pump should remain available from the control room. Disposition Recovery Action(s): Locally trip the 12 MDAFW Pump at Bus 16 (F5 App D). This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with a recovery action credited. VFDR-031 01 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements is due to a fire in FA 31 that could damage the 22 TDAFW Pump (Train B) and damage the circuits for the 21 MDAFW Pump (Train A). Fire damage at the Train A Hot Shutdown Panel or MCC 2A1 could affect MV-32383 (21 MDAFW Pump to 21 SG) or MV-32384 (21 MDAFW Pump to 22 SG). A fire at MCC 2A1 could affect MV-32026 (21 MDAFW Pump suction from Cooling Water) or MV-32336 (21 MDAFW Pump suction from CST) or MV-32383 (21 MDAFW Pump to 21 SG) or MV-32384 (21 MDAFW Pump to 22 SG).

21 MDAFW Pump suction from CST, MV-32336 (2A1-4, 2A1-4A, 2CA-30) Compliant Case: Auxiliary Feedwater addition using the 21 MDAFW Pump should be available from the Control Room. Disposition Recovery Action(s): A modification to protect one train of AFW from damage due to a fire in FA 31 will resolve this issue (Table S-2). This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with a plant modification. VFDR-031 02 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements is due to a fire in FA 031 that could damage cables for MCC 2AC2 which powers the 22 Battery Charger which powers the 22 Inverter which powers PNL 212 which powers LOOP 2L-426RP (Pressurizer Level Indication). A fire in FA 031 could also damage cables for LOOP 2L-433, (Pressurizer Level Indication) and damage cables for PNL 211 which powers 2LR-470 (SG level recorder). A fire in FA 031 could also damage cables for the PNL 217 feed to PNL 211. Loss of both pressurizer level instrumentation and SG level recorder will prevent control of SG level and could lead to SG overfill. The NFPA 805 Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria is not met for Process Monitoring, pressurizer level indication.

Two separate code editions are evaluated in this review based on the time period of initial ductwork and damper installations and subsequent modifications to include additional fire dampers as a result of the 1979 NRC Fire Protection Safety Evaluation Report, along with changes to incorporate additional criteria such as steam exclusion. One deviation has been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Four deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliances associated with the criteria to shut down HVAC systems during the performance of hot work, the lack of fire dampers in specified horizontal and vertical fire barriers, and the location of two sets of fire dampers outside of the plane of the barrier. Action Requests have been initiated to track resolution of the identified issues. EEEE Title FPEE-11-042, NFPA 13, 1969 Code Compliance Deviations, WPS-10, AFW Pump Rooms Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of the WPS-10 wet pipe sprinkler system protecting the Auxiliary Feedwater Pump Rooms, Fire Areas 31 and 32, for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 13 -1969, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems (Code of Record). Thirteen deviations have been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Three deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliances in both AFW Pump Rooms associated with pendent heads without return bends, temperature ratings of installed sprinklers, and partial installation where coverage is not provided in the area over the battery rooms. Action Requests have been initiated to track resolutions of the identified issues. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 146 EEEE Title FPEE-11-049, NFPA 80, 1968 Code Compliance Deviations Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of required fire doors in F5 Appendix K fire barriers for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 80 -1968, Standard for Fire Doors and Windows (Code of Record). Six deviations have been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Eight deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliance associated with use of gates, not doors in required fire barriers, insulation attached to the inside of a required door, access openings through three doors, four doors for which a fire rating could not be determined (two of which include transoms), the qualification of frames in fire door assemblies, transoms with penetrations above two rated doors, doors that would not close under airflow, and two sets of door combinations without positive latching. Each deviation is being tracked in the corrective action system. EEEE Title FPEE-12-004, CA-01313808-01, AFW Pump Room Ducts without Fire Dampers Summary The purpose of this evaluation is to assess the impact on fire safe shutdown capability of four exhaust ducts and one supply duct that are not provided with 3-hour rated fire dampers in the boundaries of the Auxiliary Feedwater Pump Rooms, Fire Areas 31 and 32. The lack of fire dampers in the ductwork penetrations of the common barrier between the AFW Pump Rooms and the 480V Normal Switchgear Rooms, and between the 480V Normal Switchgear Rooms to the Turbine Buildings, has no impact on safe shutdown capability and is acceptable as is. EEEE Title CA-01040686 (Attachment), NFPA 72E Requirement for Non-Restorable Heat Detectors Evaluation Summary The 2006 NFPA 72E, 1974 edition, code compliance review identified that nonrestorable spot type thermal detectors were not being tested in accordance with the code. Based on the type of fire expected in these fire areas, the generation of smoke will exceed the generation of heat during the incipient stage of a fire. Therefore, the area smoke detection will provide the early warning of a fire. The heat detectors are not credited in the USAR by reference to F5 Appendix K, but will provide a secondary level of automatic detection. Based on the lack of credit given to the heat detectors, the requirements of NFPA 72E are not mandatory and the functional testing for the rate of rise function is adequate. The additional testing of the fixed temperature function through destructive testing at a nationally recognized laboratory is not cost justified for the minor benefit. The lack of meeting the full code requirement for non-restorable heat detection testing will not have adverse effect on safe shutdown for any of the affected fire areas. EEEE Title FPEE 01151461, Evaluation of Non-Compliance with Preventive Maintenance Procedure PM 3122-3, Shield Building Category 1 Vent Zone, Fire and Security Door Inspection Summary The purpose of this evaluation is to analyze the fire doors that exceed the gap criteria of Preventive Maintenance Procedure PM 3122-3, Shield Building Category 1 Vent Zone, Fire and Security Door Inspection. Twelve of the fourteen doors are acceptable in their current configuration. Door 43 should be replaced due to the skin separation from the door frame. Door 429 should receive field maintenance to adjust the hinges to remove the gap. If this is not successful, the door should be replaced. Doors 34, 54, and 63 should be re-inspected. The field verification could not determine gaps exceeding the acceptance criteria for these doors. If the re-inspection does determine the gaps are non-compliant, the evaluation of each door as contained in this evaluation is applicable and the doors are acceptable as-is. Variances from Deterministic Requirements (VFDR) VFDR-032 01 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements results from fire damage to cables which result in loss of automatic backwash to 11, 12, 21 and 22 Cooling Water (CL) Strainers. This could fail the automatic function of the cooling water strainers to automatically backwash on a high differential pressure (dp). In addition, a fire could damage the CL Strainers or support equipment for the CL Strainers and affect both trains of CL to support Vital Auxiliaries.

The NFPA 805 Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria is not met for Vital Auxiliaries. Compliant Case: The ability to automatically backwash the cooling water strainers should remain unaffected by a fire. Disposition Recovery Action(s): A recovery action is required to switch the 22 CL strainer from Normal Control Mode to the Emergency Control Mode, in order to restore automatic backwash capability (F5 App D). These actions are located in the plant screenhouse, FA 41A. This recovery action will prevent plugging of the strainers, and avoid loss of the CL system. This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with a recovery action credited.
Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 148 VFDR-032 02 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements is caused by fire damage to 121 and 122 Instrument Air Compressors which are located in FA 032, and fire damage to MCC 1A1 which powers the Unit Cooler (MTR 111E-43) for the 123 Instrument Air Compressor. Loss of all Instrument Air would eventually fail the Safeguards Chillers which cool the Control Room and Relay Room. The NFPA 805 Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria is not met for Vital Auxiliaries. Components and Cables: 121 and 122 Air Compressors fails because they are located within 032. 123 Air Compressor fails due to loss of MCC 1A1 (located in FA 32) due to fire damage to cable 111E-1 causing a loss of PNL132. PNL 132 provides power to the 123 Air Compressor Unit Cooler (MTR 111E-43). This represents a variation from the deterministic requirements (VFDR) of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3 due to a lack of separation between redundant trains of Instrument Air Compressors to support operation of Safeguards Chilled Water System. Compliant Case: The 123 Air Compressor Unit Cooler should remain unaffected by a fire in FA 032. Disposition Recovery Action(s): Replace compressed air cylinders for safeguards chilled water system when air pressure drops below the minimum value (C37).
This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with a recovery action credited. VFDR-032 01 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements is due to a fire in FA 032 that could damage the 11 TDAFW Pump (Train A) and damage the circuits for the 12 MDAFW Pump (Train B). Fire damage at the Train B Hot Shutdown Panel or MCC 1A2 could cause spurious operation of MV-32381 or MV-32382. A fire at MCC 1A2 could cause spurious operation of MV-32027 or MV-32335. The NFPA 805 Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria is not met for Decay Heat Removal.

The NFPA 805 Nuclear Safety Performance Goal Criteria is not met for Decay Heat Removal. Compliant Case: The 12 MDAFW Pump should remain free of fire damage. Disposition Recovery Action(s): No recovery action. A modification to protect one train of AFW from damage due to a fire in FA 32 will resolve this issue (Table S-2). This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with a plant modification credited. VFDR-032 02 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements is due to fire damage that affects Bus 15 (Train A) and Bus 16 (Train B), 4kV Safeguards Power. A fire in FA 032 could damage cables 15407-1, 15407-2, or 16408-1 for the CT11 source to Bus 15 and Bus 16. A fire in FA 032 could damage cable 1C-333 for the 1RY source to Bus 15 or Bus 16. A fire in FA 032 could damage cables for the D1 Diesel Generator source to Bus 15. A fire in FA 032 could damage DC control power and AC power cables for MTR 15-1, MTR 15-4, MTR 15-5, or MTR 15-9 which could fail Bus 15. A fire in FA 032 could damage cables 1DCB-2 and 1DCB-95 for the D2 source to Bus 16. The NFPA 805 Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria is not met for Vital Auxiliaries AC Power.

The NFPA 805 Nuclear Safety Performance Goal Criteria is not met for Vital Auxiliaries AC Power. Compliant Case: BUS 16 should remain unaffected by a fire in this area. Disposition Recovery Action(s): No recovery action. A modification will be performed to protect one of the power supplies to Bus 16 to support safe and stable (Table S-2).
This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with a plant modification credited. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 151 VFDR-032 03 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements is due to a fire in FA 032 that could damage cables for DC control power to Bus 15 tripping circuits and subsequent damage to AC power cables resulting in a loss of overcurrent protection for of Bus 15. The NFPA 805 Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria is not met for Vital Auxiliaries AC Power.

This represents a VFDR of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3, due to lack of separation between redundant trains of safeguard power. Compliant Case: A fire in FA 32 should not cause secondary fires in FA 81. Disposition Recovery Action(s): No recovery action. Modification to eliminate the possibility that a fire could cause 4kV power cables to start on fire in other fire areas (Table S-2). VFDR-032 01 The Variance From Deterministic Requirements is due to a fire that could damage the 21 MDAFW Pump (Train A) and the control switches for the 22 TDAFW Pump discharge valves. Fire damage to control switch CS-51605 could cause spurious closure of MV-32247 which would isolate the 22 TDAFW Pump flow to the credited 22 Steam Generator. Fire damage to control switch CS-51603 could prevent closing MV-32246 which could divert the 22 TDAFW Pump flow to the non-credited 21 Steam Generator. The NFPA 805 Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria is not met for Decay Heat Removal. The NFPA 805 Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria is not met for Decay Heat Removal. Components and Cables: 22 AFW to 21 SG MV, MV-32246 (cable 2CB-164 has a one hour fire barrier) 22 AFW to 22 SG MV, MV-32247 (cable 2CB-163 has a one hour fire barrier) Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 152 This represents a variation from the deterministic requirements (VFDR) of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3, due to lack of separation between redundant trains of AFW.

Variances from Deterministic Requirements (VFDR) VFDR-037 01 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements results in loss of automatic backwash to 11, 12, 21 and 22 Cooling Water (CL) Strainers, due to fire damage to cables. This could fail the function of the cooling water strainers to automatically backwash on a high differential pressure (dp). Damage to control cable 1CA-529 affects components CV-31652, CV-31653, MTR-111C-21, MTR-121C-21, CV-31654, CV-31655, MTR-111C-22, and MTR-121C-22. Loss of the cooling water strainers MTR-121C-22 and MTR-111C-22 results in the loss of cooling water to the B Loop header. One strainer is required per cooling water loop header. The B loop header is credited to supply cooling water to the necessary systems since the ability to isolate the loop is available. This condition represents a variance from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3. This condition would challenge the Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria for Vital Auxiliaries. Components and Cables: MCC 1AB1, (111C-4) 11 Cooling Water Strainer Backwash Control Valve, CV-31652 (1CA-529) 12 Cooling Water Strainer Backwash Control Valve, CV-31653 (1CA-529) 21 Cooling Water Strainer Backwash Control Valve, CV-31654 (1CA-529) 22 Cooling Water Strainer Backwash Control Valve, CV-31655 (1CA-529) 11 Cooling Water Strainer Motor, MTR-111C-21 (1CA-529) 12 Cooling Water Strainer Motor, MTR-121C-21 (1CA-529) 21 Cooling Water Strainer Motor, MTR-111C-22 (1CA-529) 22 Cooling Water Strainer Motor, MTR-121C-22 (1CA-529) Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 170 This condition represents a variance from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3 due to a lack of separation between redundant trains of cooling water strainers. Compliant Case: The automatic backwash function for the cooling water strainers should be available. Disposition Recovery Action(s): A recovery action is required to switch the 22 CL Strainer from Normal Control mode to the Emergency Control mode in order to restore automatic backwash capability (F5 App D). These actions are located in the plant screenhouse, FA41A (FDZ 75). This recovery action will prevent plugging of the strainers, and avoid loss of the CL system.
This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with a recovery action credited.

Two separate code editions are evaluated in this review based on the time period of initial ductwork and damper installations and subsequent modifications to include additional fire dampers as a result of the 1979 NRC Fire Protection Safety Evaluation Report, along with changes to incorporate additional criteria such as steam exclusion. One deviation has been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Four deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliances associated with the criteria to shut down HVAC systems during the performance of hot work, the lack of fire dampers in specified horizontal and vertical fire barriers, and the location of two sets of fire dampers outside of the plane of the barrier. Action Requests have been initiated to track resolution of the identified issues. EEEE Title FPEE-11-049, NFPA 80, 1968 Code Compliance Deviations Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of required fire doors in F5 Appendix K fire barriers for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 80 -1968, Standard for Fire Doors and Windows (Code of Record). Six deviations have been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Eight deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliance associated with use of gates, not doors in required fire barriers, insulation attached to the inside of a required door, access openings through three doors, four doors for which a fire rating could not be determined (two of which include transoms), the qualification of frames in fire door assemblies, transoms with penetrations above two rated doors, doors that would not close under airflow, and two sets of door combinations without positive latching. Each deviation is being tracked in the corrective action system.

Twelve of the fourteen doors are acceptable in their current configuration. Door 43 should be replaced due to the skin separation from the door frame. Door 429 should receive field maintenance to adjust the hinges to remove the gap. If this is not successful, the door should be replaced. Doors 34, 54, and 63 should be re-inspected. The field verification could not determine gaps exceeding the acceptance criteria for these doors. If the re-inspection does determine the gaps are non-compliant, the evaluation of each door as contained in this evaluation is applicable and the doors are acceptable as-is. Variances from Deterministic Requirements (VFDR) VFDR-038 01 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements results from fire damage to cable 1CB-370 which results in loss of automatic backwash to 11, 12, 21 and 22 Cooling Water (CL) Strainers. This could fail the automatic function of the cooling water strainers to automatically backwash on a high differential pressure (dp). Damage to this cable affects components CV-31652, CV-31653, MTR-111C-21, MTR-121C-21, CV-31654, CV-31655, MTR-111C-22 and MTR-121C-22.
Loss of the cooling water strainers MTR-111C-21 and MTR-121C-21 results in the loss of cooling water to the A Loop header. One strainer is required per cooling water loop header. The A loop header is credited to supply cooling water to the necessary systems since the ability to isolate the loop is available. Components and Cables: 11 Cooling Water Strainer Backwash Control Valve, CV-31652 (1CB-370) 12 Cooling Water Strainer Backwash Control Valve, CV-31653 (1CB-370) 21 Cooling Water Strainer Backwash Control Valve, CV-31654 (1CB-370) 22 Cooling Water Strainer Backwash Control Valve, CV-31655 (1CB-370) 11 Cooling Water Strainer, MTR-111C-21 (1CB-370) 12 Cooling Water Strainer, MTR-121C-21 (1CB-370) 21 Cooling Water Strainer, MTR-111C-22 (1CB-370) 22 Cooling Water Strainer, MTR-121C-22 (1CB-370) This condition represents a variance from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3 due to a lack of separation between redundant trains of cooling water strainers. Compliant Case: The automatic backwash function for the cooling water strainers should be available. Disposition Recovery Action(s): A recovery action is required to switch the 11 CL Strainer from Normal Control mode to the Emergency Control mode in order to restore automatic backwash capability (F5 App D). These actions are located in the plant screenhouse, FA41A (FDZ 75). This recovery action will prevent plugging of the strainers, and avoid loss of the CL system.

There are no significant fire hazards in FA 41 or 41B in the vicinity of the ventilation openings above doors 257 and 258. The redundant cooling water pumps and cables are also well separated from the ventilation openings. There is fire detection and an automatic fire suppression system on both sides of the openings. These defense-in depth features provide the justification that the ventilation openings above doors 257 and 258 are acceptable as is. EEEE Title CA-01311046-01, Fire Doors 257, 258, 259 & 260 Summary The purpose of this evaluation is to assess Doors 257, 258, 259 and 260, which do not have an identified fire rating. Doors 257 and 258 also have transoms above the doors that are not fire rated. The doors are in the boundaries between Fire Area 41 and Fire Area 41A on the 695ft elevation of the Screenhouse. Fire Area 41 is open to Fire Area 41B on the 670ft elevation. Fire Area 41A contains safe shutdown capabilities that are redundant to those in Fire Area 41B. Fire Doors 257 and 258, inclusive of the 14ga steel plate transoms, and Fire Doors 259 and 260 provide adequate protection to prevent fire spread that could adversely impact redundant safe shutdown capability. The bases for this conclusion include the following: Fire Doors 257, 258, 259, and 260 are of substantial construction, constructed by the same vendor that built many of the fire doors installed during original plant construction. The doors could be qualified as 1-1/2hr rated fire doors based on the referenced drawings. The transoms above Fire Doors 257 and 258 are 14ga plate steel, securely attached to the openings above the doors. While not fire rated, the transoms will resist the passage of flame, smoke and hot gases. Automatic detection and pre-action sprinklers are provided on both sides of the subject doors in Fire Areas 41A and 41. Automatic detection and pre-action sprinklers are provided throughout Fire Area 41A and Fire Area 41B, which would control the size of postulated fires in the areas. The automatic detection systems provided throughout Fire Area 41B and Fire Area 41A, and on the south side of Fire Area 41, would also result in prompt fire brigade response. Fire brigade response would be effective in controlling and extinguishing postulated fires prior to the fire impacting on redundant fire safe shutdown capability.

There are no significant fire hazards in FA 41 or 41B in the vicinity of the ventilation openings above doors 257 and 258. The redundant cooling water pumps and cables are also well separated from the ventilation openings. There is fire detection and an automatic fire suppression system on both sides of the openings. These defense-in depth features provide the justification that the ventilation openings above doors 257 and 258 are acceptable as is. EEEE Title FPEE-11-041, NFPA 13, 1969 Code Compliance Deviations, PA-9 Screenhouse Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of the Pre-Action Sprinkler System in the Plant Screenhouse (referred to in this document as the Screenhouse) for compliance with the applicable requirements cited in National Fire Protection Association 13, (NFPA) -1969, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems (Code of Record). Eight deviations have been justified as "acceptable". An improvement has been recommended for one of these deviations. Two deviations will require modifications to the system. An action request has been written to add a sprinkler head under the large junction box over the Diesel Driven Fire Pump and to add sprinkler #229 which is shown on drawing XH-106-376 but was found to be missing during walkdowns. Variances from Deterministic Requirements (VFDR) VFDR-FA41B 02 This variance results from fire-induced damage could fail the function of the cooling water strainers to automatically backwash on a high differential pressure (dp). Damage affects components CV-31652 (11 Cooling Water Strainer Backwash CV), CV-31655 (22 Cooling Water Strainer Backwash CV), MTR-111C-21 (11 Cooling Water Strainer), and MTR-121C-22 (22 Cooling Water Strainer). This condition represents a variance from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3. This condition would challenge the Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria for Vital Auxiliaries.

This condition would challenge the Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria for Vital Auxiliaries. Compliant Case: The ability to automatically backwash the CL strainers from the Control Room should be available, to ensure strainer plugging is alleviated, so adequate cooling is provided for plant equipment heat loads. Disposition Recovery Action(s): A recovery action is required to switch the 11 or 22 CL Strainer from Normal Control Mode to Emergency Control Mode for MTR-111C-21 and MTR-121C-22. These actions are located in the plant screenhouse, FA 41A (FDZ 75). This recovery action will prevent plugging of the strainers, and avoid loss of the CL system. This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with a recovery action credited. VFDR-41B 03 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements is due to a fire in FA 041B that could damage DC control power to Bus 23 tripping circuits and subsequent damage to AC power cables resulting in a failure of Bus 23. Components and Cables: 121 Screenwash Pump MTR 23-1 (23401-2, 1C-1550, 1C-1552, 1C-2280, 1C-2285, 1C-4661, 2C-1359) This represents a variation from the deterministic requirements (VFDR) of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3.4.b due to a lack of OCT protection for the Power and Control cables for the Screenwash pumps. Compliant Case: Circuits for the Screenwash pump should be protected against common enclosure fires, to ensure strainer plugging is alleviated, so adequate cooling is provided for plant equipment heat loads. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 194 Disposition Recovery Action(s): No recovery action. VFDR-41B 03 will be resolved by implementation of a modification to protect DC cubicle control power (Table S-2).

This evaluation, through the use of a bounding condition, finds that the lesser-rated doors, where used in PINGP, are acceptable given the combustible loading and available suppression systems of the areas. No challenges to barrier integrity or safe shutdown will occur as a result of the current barrier configuration, as bound by this evaluation. The doors listed are considered acceptable without modification or further administrative control. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 202 EEEE Title FPEE-11-022, NFPA 90A, 1969, 1978 Code Compliance Deviations Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of HVAC systems and fire dampers for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 90A - 1969 and NFPA 90A - 1978, Standard for Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems (Codes of Record.) Two separate code editions are evaluated in this review based on the time period of initial ductwork and damper installations and subsequent modifications to include additional fire dampers as a result of the 1979 NRC Fire Protection Safety Evaluation Report, along with changes to incorporate additional criteria such as steam exclusion. One deviation has been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Four deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliances associated with the criteria to shut down HVAC systems during the performance of hot work, the lack of fire dampers in specified horizontal and vertical fire barriers, and the location of two sets of fire dampers outside of the plane of the barrier. Action Requests have been initiated to track resolution of the identified issues. EEEE Title FPEE-11-049, NFPA 80, 1968 Code Compliance Deviations Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of required fire doors in F5 Appendix K fire barriers for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 80 -1968, Standard for Fire Doors and Windows (Code of Record). Six deviations have been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Eight deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliance associated with use of gates, not doors in required fire barriers, insulation attached to the inside of a required door, access openings through three doors, four doors for which a fire rating could not be determined (two of which include transoms), the qualification of frames in fire door assemblies, transoms with penetrations above two rated doors, doors that would not close under airflow, and two sets of door combinations without positive latching. Each deviation is being tracked in the corrective action system. EEEE Title FPEE-11-052, NFPA 13, 1969, 1980, 1989 Code Compliance Deviations, SWP-1, 12, 2, 4, 3, 13, 14, 5, 6, 31, D5/D6 stairwells Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of the wet pipe sprinkler systems protecting stairways. The stairway suppression systems addressed in this analysis are SWP-1, SWP-2, SWP-3, SWP-4, SWP-5, SWP-6, SWP-12, SWP-13, SWP-14, SWP-31, and the D5/D6 Building Stair (identified as 2FP-92-2, the system isolation valve, in F5 Appendix F, Fire Hazards Analysis.) The stairway suppression systems are located in the Turbine, Auxiliary, Radwaste, Service, and D5/D6 Buildings. The systems have been reviewed for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems. The codes of record for these systems are: NFPA 13-1969: SWP-1, SWP-2, SWP-3, SWP-4, SWP-5, SWP-6, SWP-12, SWP-13, SWP-14 NFPA 13-1980: SWP-31 NFPA 13-1989: D5/D6 Building Stair Five deviations have been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Four deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliance associated with flushing of the D5/D6 Stair, pressure gauges that read higher than maximum system pressure, pendent heads without return bends all stairway systems except SWP-31 and the D5/D6 Stair, and a missing protective canopy over a sprinkler in SWP-14. Action Requests have been initiated to track resolution of the identified issues. EEEE Title CA-01244458-02, Fire Doors 94 & 95 Summary The purpose of this evaluation is to assess the unrated penetrations through the transoms and the unrated 1/4-in checker steel plates and tray/conduit penetrations above Doors 94 and 95 for impact on the fire area boundaries separating Fire Areas 73 and 58 from Fire Area 4. This evaluation also assesses the adequacy of the assemblies to provide adequate protection for the 3-hour barrier in which they are located. The bases for this conclusion include the following: Postulated fires north of Unit 1 Door 95 and Unit 2 Door 94 would not adversely impact on redundant safe shutdown capability in Fire Area 58 and Fire Area 73 based on approved exemption requests for lack of automatic suppression that rely on enclosing Division B safe shutdown cable in one hour rated fire barriers, enclosing Division A safe shutdown cable trays in the vicinity of MCCs and at specified coordinates in one hour rated fire barriers, low combustible loading, automatic detection, and fire brigade response. Postulated fire spread south through the unrated penetrations and 1/4-in checker steel plate from Fire Area 58 or Fire Area 73 to Fire Area 4 will not impact on safe shutdown capability since the only cables of concern for safe shutdown in the event of a fire in Fire Area 4 are 1CT-1, 16408-1, and 15407-3. These cables provide offsite power from the CT transformer to Bus 15 and Bus 16 and run from FA 4 to FA 58/73. The 1R transformer Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 203 remains available to provide offsite power to Bus 15 and Bus 16 in these areas. Since these cables are also routed in Fire Areas 58 and 73, Doors 95 and 94 do not separate redundant trains of safe shutdown equipment. A minimum of 50% of the combustible loading is associated with Kerite cables in the overhead trays that pass through the unrated penetration seals in the 1/4-in checker steel plate. Kerite cable is of thermoset construction and will not result in a fire without an external fire source. Trash receptacle and transient combustible fires that also involve the racks of plastic rolls and material in the metal enclosed cabinets south of Unit 1 Door 95 or the 8.5% hydrogen cylinders south of Unit 2 Door 94 could generate enough energy to ignite the cables in the cable trays. Flame propagation along thermoset cables is about 3mm per second or 3-1/2ft per hour. Due to the swing of Unit 1 Door 95 and Unit 2 Door 94 into the corridor portions of Fire Area 4, the trash receptacle and transient combustible fire would be at least 4ft away from the unrated penetrations and 1/4-in checker steel plate, with a burn time of upwards of one hour required before a cable tray fire would impact on the barrier. Automatic detection in the corridors on both sides of Unit 1 Door 95 and Unit 2 Door 94 would actuate early in the fire. Detection alarms would result in prompt response by the fire brigade. Hose stations are available on both sides of Unit 1 Door 95 and Unit 2 Door 94 for fire fighting purposes. Fire brigade response would be effective in controlling and extinguishing postulated fires prior to the fire spreading through the unrated penetrations and impacting on fire safe shutdown capability on the north sides of Unit 1 Door 95 and Unit 2 Door 94. The main open area of Fire Area 4 extends up to the 755ft elevation. The minimal continuity of intervening combustibles (although some combustible materials may be present in the intervening space) combined with the open area above the location of combustible materials in this location effectively ensures that a fire in one corridor of Fire Area 4 will not spread across the open area and back into the opposite corridor. As such, a fire in one corridor in Fire Area 4 will not result in a simultaneous fire in the opposite corridor, and the unsealed penetrations and 1/4-in checker steel plates above Unit 1 Door 95 and Unit 2 Door 94 will not be challenged by the same fire simultaneously. Variances from Deterministic Requirements (VFDR) VFDR-058 01 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements (VFDR) results in loss of automatic backwash to 11, 12, 21 and 22 Cooling Water (CL) Strainers, due to fire damage to cable 1CA-538. This could fail the function of the cooling water strainers to automatically backwash on a high differential pressure (dp).
Loss of automatic backwash capability for cooling water strainers MTR-121C-21 and MTR-121C-22 can result in the loss of cooling water to the credited B Loop header. One strainer with automatic backwash capability is required per cooling water loop header. The B Loop header is credited to supply cooling water to the necessary Unit 1 and Unit 2 systems since the credited 22 CL pump supplies this header. The 12 CL pump is isolated from the non-credited B Loop header from the Control Room. This condition would challenge the Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria for Vital Auxiliaries. 1CA-538 is wrapped by a one hour barrier with detection but without suppression.
Vital AC power from BUS-15 is required see VFDR-058 11 for affected cables. Components and Cables: 11 CL Strainer Backwash CV, CV-31652, 11 CL Strainer Motor, MTR 111C-21 (1CA-538) 12 CL Strainer Backwash CV, CV-31653, 12 CL Strainer Motor, MTR 121C-21 (1CA-538) 21 CL Strainer Backwash CV, CV-31654, 21 CL Strainer Motor, MTR 111C-22 (1CA-538) 22 CL Strainer Backwash CV, CV-31655, 22 CL Strainer Motor, MTR 121C-22 (1CA-538) Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 204 This represents a variation from the deterministic requirements (VFDR) of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3, due to lack of separation between redundant trains of cooling water strainers. Compliant Case: The ability to backwash the CL strainers should be available to ensure strainer plugging is alleviated, so adequate cooling is provided for plant equipment heat loads Disposition Recovery Action(s): A recovery action is required to switch the 12 and 22 CL strainers from Normal Control Mode to the Emergency Control Mode. This action must be performed locally in the plant screenhouse, FA 41A (FDZ 75). This recovery action will prevent plugging of the strainers, and avoid loss of the CL system.
This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with a recovery action credited. VFDR-058 02 This VFDR involves a fire that could damage cable 1C-781 for the 122 Instrument Air Compressor. The 121 and 123 Instrument Air Compressors are also fire affected for this Fire Area. Components and Cables 122 IAC (1C-781) 121 IAC (1C-765) 123 IAC (2CA-770)
This represents a VFDR of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3 due to lack of separation between redundant trains of Instrument Air Compressors to support operation of Safeguards Chilled Water System. This will ensure that adequate cooling is provided to the Control and Relay Rooms. Compliant Case: 122 Instrument Air Compressor should be free of fire damage for this Fire Area and capable of supporting Control and Relay Room cooling. Disposition Recovery Action(s): Locally operate 122 Instrument Air Compressor in FA 32 to provide compressed air to the safeguards chillers per F5 Appendix D. This will ensure that adequate cooling is provided to the Control and Relay Rooms. This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with a recovery action credited. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 205 VFDR-058 01 This variance from deterministic requirements involves systems that are protected by a one hour barrier and detection but with a lack of suppression in FA 58: between 11 Component Cooling (CC) and 12 Component Cooling (CC) and support systems. The cables 1CA-693 and 1CA-695 for 12 DDCLP and cables for 12 CC and 22 CC are protected with a one hour fire barrier with no suppression. However, cables 16405-A, 16405-1 and 1CB-71 are not wrapped at their termination point, which is located in FA 58, so cable protection cannot be credited for these cables. The NFPA 805 Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria is not met for Vital Auxiliaries because CC supports cooling to the SI and RCP Seals.

VFDR-058 03 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements involves systems that are protected by a one hour barrier and detection but with a lack of suppression. A fire could damage cables to the 11 CC pump and cause spurious opening of MV-32093 and MV-32094. In this area the 12 CC pump is credited, and with both divisions of RHR Heat Exchanger Valves (MV-32093 and MV-32094) open, a runout condition could occur on the 12 CC pump. If only one (11 or 12) Component Cooling Water pump is available and both of the RHR Heat Exchanger Valves (MV-32093 and MV-32094) spuriously open, flow through the single component cooling water pump could exceed recommended flow, resulting in a runout condition on the one component cooling water pump.

Compliant Case: The 22 TDAFW Pump to the 22 Steam Generator should be free from fire damage, to ensure adequate Decay Heat Removal is provided. Disposition Recovery Action(s): No recovery actions. Fire modeling for FA 58 indicates that there are no fire scenarios that will result in simultaneous damage to cables affecting MTR 25-10 (21 MDAFW Pump), MV-32019 and MV-32020. This ensures that at least one train of AFW remains available for credible fire scenarios in FA-58. This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with credited fire modeling. VFDR-058 08 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements involves a fire causing MV-32204 or MV-32205 to spuriously close, which could isolate the minimum flow recirculation line to the RWST from the SI pumps. If the RCS is at normal pressure, and the SI pumps spuriously started, they could be dead headed and damaged if there is no flow. If the fire also prevented MV-32062 from opening, then the RWST supply to the charging pumps could be affected. The NFPA 805 Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria is not met for Inventory Control.

Compliant Case: Train B SI and CC pumps should remain free of fire damage so one train of safeguards power is available. Manually operate D5 in FA 101 at the D5 Benchboard per F5 Appendix D. Disposition Recovery Action(s): Manually operate D5 in FA 101 at the D5 Benchboard per F5 Appendix D. This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with a recovery action credited. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 218 VFDR-058 11 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements is caused by fire damage to cables 25410-C, 25410-D, 25410-E, and 2CA-778 which causes a spurious start of the 21 MDAFW Pump (MTR 25-10). This can result in SG overfill of the credited SG. This condition represents a variance from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3. The NFPA 805 Nuclear Safety Performance Goal is not met for Decay Heat Removal. Components and Cables: MTR-25-10 (25410-C, 25410-D, 25410-E, 2CA-778) This represents a variation from the deterministic requirements (VFDR) of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3 due to a lack of separation between redundant trains of decay heat removal due to over-fill of steam generator. Compliant Case: One train of AFW should remain unaffected by a fire. Disposition Recovery Action(s): Locally open BKR-25-10 at Bus 25 in FA 117 (FDZ 97) to trip the 21 MDAFW Pump.

In most areas, curbs, drains, and the mounting of equipment above the floor level minimizes the potential for flooding damage. Water will drain out doors or via stairways or through grating to lower elevations, such that the standing water would not affect safety-related equipment. Therefore, fire suppression activities are not expected to adversely affect achievement of the nuclear safety performance criteria. The PINGP fire brigade is trained to discharge water in a judicious manner and instructed to direct hose streams and portable extinguishers at the base of the fire to limit the amount of overspray beyond the immediate fire area. For this reason, fire brigade activities are not expected to fail components not already considered damaged. Fire Area Comments Fire Area 58 now includes the Unit 2 portion of the elevation, which was Fire Area 73 prior to the transition to NFPA 805.

Bldg, Fire Areas 59 and 74 Summary The purpose of this evaluation is to address the adequacy of the fire area boundary between Aux Bldg Fire Areas 59 (U1) and 74 (U2), and Annulus Fire Areas 68 (U1) and 72 (U2), specifically the adequacy of the separation provided at penetration cabinets 1134 and 1136 in Fire Area 59 and penetration cabinets 2134 and 2136 in Fire Area 74. Power and control cables associated with RCS Vent System valves (credited for RCS pressure reduction during the transition from hot standby to cold shutdown), as well as those for the PZR PORVs and their block valves (a third letdown path and a high-low pressure interface) are routed in the general Aux Building area, and inside the penetration cabinets. Although the cabinet design is not a tested configuration, the cabinet suppression system, fire detection system, negligible in-situ combustibles in the area and spatial separation provides adequate protection to withstand the hazards associated with these fire areas. The combination of all these measures provides adequate assurance that unwrapped penetration cabinets, although not a rated fire design, will provide adequate protection and the ability to achieve safe shutdown will not be adversely affected. The existing fire area boundary penetration cabinet design provides adequate fire protection from a fire outside the cabinets, and would prevent a fire inside the cabinet becoming an exposure fire. EEEE Title FPEE-11-022, NFPA 90A, 1969, 1978 Code Compliance Deviations Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of HVAC systems and fire dampers for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 90A - 1969 and NFPA 90A - 1978, Standard for Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems (Codes of Record.) Two separate code editions are evaluated in this review based on the time period of initial ductwork and damper installations and subsequent modifications to include additional fire dampers as a result of the 1979 NRC Fire Protection Safety Evaluation Report, along with changes to incorporate additional criteria such as steam exclusion. One deviation has been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Four deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliances associated with the criteria to shut down HVAC systems Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 223 during the performance of hot work, the lack of fire dampers in specified horizontal and vertical fire barriers, and the location of two sets of fire dampers outside of the plane of the barrier. Action Requests have been initiated to track resolution of the identified issues. EEEE Title FPEE-11-040, NFPA 13, 1969 Code Compliance Deviations, PA-3, 4, 6, 7 Penetration Areas Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of the PA-3, PA-4, PA-6, and PA 7 pre-action sprinkler systems in the Auxiliary Building and in the Containment Annulus of each unit for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 13 -1969, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems (Code of Record).. Eight deviations have been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Two deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliances associated with temperature ratings of installed sprinklers and the location of sprinkler heads relative to the "ceiling" in the Containment Annulus. Action Requests have been initiated to track resolutions of the identified issues. EEEE Title FPEE-11-048, NFPA 72E, 1974, 1982, 1987 Plant Areas / Systems Not Addressed in FPP-5 R2 Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of automatic fire detectors not previously reviewed in FPP-5 R2, NFPA 72E Code Compliance Evaluation, dated April 21, 2004. One issue has been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Two recommendations are provided to consider augmenting detection actuation device coverage in Fire Area 25 (Diesel Generator 1) and in Fire Area 18 (Relay and Computer Room) pending the results of the Fire PRA. If the Fire PRA relies on the capabilities of the detection actuation devices for suppression system actuation, then additional actions will be required. An action request is tracking resolution of both issues. 6.4 Additional actions are required in the Screenhouse (electric fire pump enclosure) to resolve the lack of a heat actuating device in the electric fire pump enclosure, and in the Annulus of each unit to address the Appendix A commitment to a preaction sprinkler system that is actuated by HADs in the Annulus of each unit. Action requests have been initiated to track resolution of the identified issues. EEEE Title FPEE-11-049, NFPA 80, 1968 Code Compliance Deviations Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of required fire doors in F5 Appendix K fire barriers for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 80 -1968, Standard for Fire Doors and Windows (Code of Record). Six deviations have been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Eight deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliance associated with use of gates, not doors in required fire barriers, insulation attached to the inside of a required door, access openings through three doors, four doors for which a fire rating could not be determined (two of which include transoms), the qualification of frames in fire door assemblies, transoms with penetrations above two rated doors, doors that would not close under airflow, and two sets of door combinations without positive latching. Each deviation is being tracked in the corrective action system. EEEE Title AR 1352782, Class B (1.5 hour) fire doors in Appendix R-required fire barriers Summary This evaluation demonstrates that the Class B doors are compliant to the requirements of the SER. The maximum fire exposure duration to a 1.5 hour fire door protecting an Appendix R area, as bound by this evaluation, is 31 minutes. Applying a "one-half barrier rating" acceptance criteria, the 1.5 hour doors in Appendix R barriers are acceptable due to the maximum exposure being less than one-half of the 1.5 hour rating.

Modification to install shutdown RCP seals will alleviate the need for a recovery action given RCS injection is restored from the control room to provide makeup for RCS leakage (Table S-2). This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with a plant modification. VFDR-059 16 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements (VFDR) involves a fire in FA 59 which results in a spurious "P" signal and the inability to trip BKR 26-9. Damage to cables for 2PT-945, 2PT-946, 2PT-947, 2PT-948, 2PT-949, and 2PT-950, Unit 2 Containment Pressure Transmitters, results in a spurious "P" signal. The spurious "P" signal will open MV-32116, 22 CS PMP DISCH MV, and close BKR 26-9, 22 CONTAINMENT SPRAY PUMP BREAKER, resulting in a RWST drain down. Damage to cables for BKR 26-9 results in a loss of DC control power for BKR 26-9 trip coil and the inability to trip the breaker.

This represents a variation from the deterministic requirements (VFDR) of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3, due to lack of separation between redundant trains of containment pressure transmitters. Compliant Case: No flow diversion should be caused by spurious operation of the Containment Spray System, so that RWST inventory is maintained. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 241 Disposition Recovery Action(s): Modification to protect cable 2CW-19 (2PT-946) from fire damage in FA 58 (Table S-2). This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with a plant modification.

Six deviations have been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Eight deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliance associated with use of gates, not doors in required fire barriers, insulation attached to the inside of a required door, access openings through three doors, four doors for which a fire rating could not be determined (two of which include transoms), the qualification of frames in fire door assemblies, transoms with penetrations above two rated doors, doors that would not close under airflow, and two sets of door combinations without positive latching. Each deviation is being tracked in the corrective action system. EEEE Title FPEE-11-001, Gaps on Doors 278 & 279 Summary The purpose of this evaluation is to justify that sliding fire Doors 278 and 279 are acceptable as installed. The doors will provide adequate protection against the spread of fire in their current configuration Based on: minimal combustible loading on either side of both doors, the 3© concrete curb which will provide an additional level of protection to prevent flame propagation under the minor door to floor gaps, automatic smoke detection in the walkways, manual firefighting equipment located nearby, the lack of safe shutdown equipment in the area and therefore will not impact the ability to achieve and maintain safe shutdown. EEEE Title FPEE-11-022, NFPA 90A, 1969, 1978 Code Compliance Deviations Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 245 Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of HVAC systems and fire dampers for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 90A - 1969 and NFPA 90A - 1978, Standard for Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems (Codes of Record.) Two separate code editions are evaluated in this review based on the time period of initial ductwork and damper installations and subsequent modifications to include additional fire dampers as a result of the 1979 NRC Fire Protection Safety Evaluation Report, along with changes to incorporate additional criteria such as steam exclusion. One deviation has been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Four deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliances associated with the criteria to shut down HVAC systems during the performance of hot work, the lack of fire dampers in specified horizontal and vertical fire barriers, and the location of two sets of fire dampers outside of the plane of the barrier. Action Requests have been initiated to track resolution of the identified issues EEEE Title FPEE-11-052, NFPA 13, 1969, 1980, 1989 Code Compliance Deviations, SWP-1, 12, 2, 4, 3, 13, 14, 5, 6, 31, D5/D6 stairwells Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of the wet pipe sprinkler systems protecting stairways. The stairway suppression systems addressed in this analysis are SWP-1, SWP-2, SWP-3, SWP-4, SWP-5, SWP-6, SWP-12, SWP-13, SWP-14, SWP-31, and the D5/D6 Building Stair (identified as 2FP-92-2, the system isolation valve, in F5 Appendix F, Fire Hazards Analysis.) The stairway suppression systems are located in the Turbine, Auxiliary, Radwaste, Service, and D5/D6 Buildings. The systems have been reviewed for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems. The codes of record for these systems are: NFPA 13-1969: SWP-1, SWP-2, SWP-3, SWP-4, SWP-5, SWP-6, SWP-12, SWP-13, SWP-14 NFPA 13-1980: SWP-31 NFPA 13-1989: D5/D6 Building Stair Five deviations have been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Four deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliance associated with flushing of the D5/D6 Stair, pressure gauges that read higher than maximum system pressure, pendent heads without return bends all stairway systems except SWP-31 and the D5/D6 Stair, and a missing protective canopy over a sprinkler in SWP-14. Action Requests have been initiated to track resolution of the identified issues. EEEE Title FPEE-12-002; CA-01327430-1, Steam Line Pipe Penetrations without Penetration Seals PENF-1526, PENF-1528, PENF-1689, & PENF-1692 Summary The purpose of this evaluation is to assess the impact on fire safe shutdown capability of four main steam line penetrations that are not provided with 3-hour fire rated penetration seals in G wall separating the Turbine Operating Deck from the 735ft elevation of the Auxiliary Building. The types, quantities, and continuity of combustible materials in Fire Area 60 or Fire Area 75 would not result in a sufficient heat release rate or fire to spread to, or spread through, the main steam line penetrations into Fire Area 8. The Turbine Stop Valves in Fire Area 8 are between 50 ft and 70 ft from the main steam line penetrations through G-wall. The only postulated fires that could result in damage to the Turbine Stop Valves and be large enough to potentially spread to the main steam line penetrations would involve either a turbine bearing oil fire or a catastrophic failure of the turbine oil system. The turbine bearings are protected by an automatically-actuated preaction sprinkler system that will respond to postulated turbine bearing oil fires and result in prompt fire brigade response. Postulated catastrophic turbine oil system failures could result in very severe fires; however, the area where oil piping runs and oil can spread are protected by automatic wet pipe sprinkler systems. Postulated turbine bearing oil fires and postulated catastrophic turbine oil system failure fires would result in significant heat release rates and smoke production; however, the large volume of the turbine building combined with the existing roof exhaust fans and smoke hatches that are fitted with automatic releases would release smoke and hot gas to the environment and delay the effects of such fires from banking down to the level of the main steam line penetrations located 50ft below the roof. The main steam line penetrations have limited annular gaps, 10in, for passage of fire effects to Fire Area 60 and Fire Area 75. There is very limited continuity of combustible materials in Fire Areas 60 and Fire Area 75 for fire to spread from Fire Area 8 to the vicinity of the MSlVs and solenoid valves. Postulated fires in Fire Area 8, Fire Area 60, and Fire Area 75 would not adversely impact redundant safe shutdown capability consisting of the Turbine Stop Valves in Fire Area 8 and the MSIVs and solenoid valves in Fire Area 60 and Fire Area 75.
EEEE Title AR 1266236-01, Basis for the use of (2) 1 1/2 Hour Rated Fire Doors in a (3) Hour Fire Rated Barrier Summary The purpose of this evaluation is to address the adequacy of Class B (1.5 hour) fire doors in Appendix R-required fire barriers. This evaluation, through the use of a bounding condition, finds that the lesser-rated doors, where used in PINGP, are acceptable given the combustible loading and Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 246 available suppression systems of the areas. No challenges to barrier integrity or safe shutdown will occur as a result of the current barrier configuration, as bound by this evaluation. The doors listed are considered acceptable without modification or further administrative control. EEEE Title AR 1266236-01, Class B (1.5 hour) fire doors in Appendix R-required fire barriers Summary This evaluation demonstrates that the Class B doors are compliant to the requirements of the SER. The maximum fire exposure duration to a 1.5 hour fire door protecting an Appendix R area, as bound by this evaluation, is 31 minutes. Applying a "one-half barrier rating" acceptance criteria, the 1.5 hour doors in Appendix R barriers are acceptable due to the maximum exposure being less than one-half of the 1.5 hour rating.

Six deviations have been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Eight deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliance associated with use of gates, not doors in required fire barriers, insulation attached to the inside of a required door, access openings through three doors, four doors for which a fire rating could not be determined (two of which include transoms), the qualification of frames in fire door assemblies, transoms with penetrations above two rated doors, doors that would not close under airflow, and two sets of door combinations without positive latching. Each deviation is being tracked in the corrective action system. EEEE Title FPEE-12-005, CA-01311402-03, Fire Doors 136 & 139 Summary The purpose of this evaluation is to assess Doors 136 and 139, both of which have 12in by 12in access openings near the bottom of the door to pass temporary materials such as hoses. The openings are protected by 14in by 14in access opening metal cover plates that are secured closed when not in use. The doors are in series on opposite ends of the airlock in the boundaries between Fire Area 4 (Fuel Handling Area) and Fire Area 64 (Auxiliary Building Low Level Decay Area Unit 1) on the 695ft elevation of the Fuel Handling Building. Fire Doors 136 and 139, inclusive of the 1/16in access opening metal cover plate assemblies that cover both sides of the access openings in each door, provide adequate protection to prevent fire spread between Fire Area 4 and Fire Area 64. In the unlikely event that fire does spread between the two areas, there will be no adverse impact on safe shutdown capability. The 1R and 2RY transformers remain available from the Control Room to provide offsite power to Bus 15 and Bus 16, and to Bus 25 and Bus 26, respectively, given a fire in either or both of these areas, and Bus 16 will be isolated from a postulated fault on its normal offsite power feed by implementation of existing local manual actions.

Attachment 1 identifies ten deviations to the code requirements of NFPA 13-1969. Several of the identified deviations are associated with multiple code sections, for a total of thirteen code sections as identified in this report. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 267 Variances from Deterministic Requirements (VFDR) VFDR-066 01 This variance from the deterministic requirements results in loss of automatic backwash to 11, 12, 21, and 22 Cooling Water (CL) Strainers, due to fire damage to cables. Fire damage could potentially cause a spurious closure of BKR 15-8 (Bus 15 crosstie to Bus 25). Additional cable failures could cause a loss of Overcurrent Trip capability on BKR 15-8. Additional cable failures could then fault Bus 15. Bus 15 is the ultimate power source for 230V Panel 136 which provides the control power to the backwash control panel for all four of the CL Strainers when they are in the Normal Control Mode of backwash operation. This condition would challenge the Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria for Vital Auxiliaries. Components and Cables: BKR-15-8 (25417-1, 25417-2 and 2CA-749) This condition represents a variance from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3, due to Lack of separation between redundant trains of cooling water strainers. Compliant Case: The ability to automatically backwash the CL Strainers should be available, to ensure strainer plugging is alleviated, so adequate cooling is provided for plant equipment heat loads. This would impact Unit 1 and Unit 2. Disposition Recovery Action(s): No recovery action. Modification to correct breaker coordination such that a fault on BKR 15-8 will not result in the loss of Bus 15 (Table S-2).
This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with a plant modification credited. VFDR-066 02 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements is due to a fire in FA 066 that could damage cables for DC control power to Bus 25 tripping circuits, and subsequent fire damage to AC power cables. These cable failures could fail Bus 25. This condition would challenge the Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria for Vital Auxiliaries. Components and Cables: BKR 25-8 (25410-E), BKR 25-7, (25410-E) BKR 25-13 (25413-1, 25413-D, 25413-E) BKR 25-9 (25410-E) BKR 25-10 (25410-1, 25410-C, 25410-D, 25410-E, 2CA-778) BKR 25-17 (2CA-749, 25417-1, 25417-2) Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 268 BKR 25-15 (112A-1, 112A-2, 112A-3, 25410-E, 25415-1, 2CA-750) This represents a variation from the deterministic requirements (VFDR) of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3 due to a lack of separation between redundant trains vital buses. Compliant Case: Breaker coordination should exist such that associated loads do not result in the loss of the 4kV bus. Disposition Recovery Action(s): No recovery action. Modification to eliminate the possibility that a fire could cause 4kV power cables to start a fire in other fire areas (Table S-2).
This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with a plant modification credited. VFDR-066 03 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements is caused by fire damage to cables 25410-C, 25410-D, and 25410-E causing a spurious start or the inability to stop 21 AFW Pump (MTR 25-10). This can result in SG overfill of the credited SG. This condition represents a variance from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3. The NFPA 805 Nuclear Safety Performance Goal is not met for Decay Heat Removal. Components and Cables: MTR-25-10 25410-C, 25410-D, 25410-E This represents a variance from the deterministic requirements (VFDR) of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3 due to the lack of separation between redundant trains of decay heat removal due to over-fill of steam generator. Compliant Case: One train of Decay Heat Removal should remain available. Disposition Recovery Action(s): Locally close MV-32383 and MV-32384 in FA 031 to isolate the uncontrolled feed to 21 and 22 SG. This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with a recovery action credited.

Bldg, Fire Areas 59 and 74 Summary The purpose of this evaluation is to address the adequacy of the fire area boundary between Aux Bldg Fire Areas 59 (U1) and 74 (U2), and Annulus Fire Areas 68 (U1) and 72 (U2), specifically the adequacy of the separation provided at penetration cabinets 1134 and 1136 in Fire Area 59 and penetration cabinets 2134 and 2136 in Fire Area 74. Power and control cables associated with RCS Vent System valves (credited for RCS pressure reduction during the transition from hot standby to cold shutdown), as well as those for the PZR PORVs and their block valves (a third letdown path and a high-low pressure interface) are routed in the general Aux Building area, and inside the penetration cabinets. Although the cabinet design is not a tested configuration, the cabinet suppression system, fire detection system, negligible in-situ combustibles in the area and spatial separation provides adequate protection to withstand the hazards associated with these fire areas. The combination of all these measures provides adequate assurance that unwrapped penetration cabinets, although not a rated fire design, will provide adequate protection and the ability to achieve safe shutdown will not be adversely affected. The existing fire area boundary penetration cabinet design provides adequate fire protection from a fire outside the cabinets, and would prevent a fire inside the cabinet becoming an exposure fire. EEEE Title FPEE 2011-003, Fire Protection Engineering Evaluation of Appendix R Compliance with Section III.G.2.D Since Containment Annulus Pre-Action Sprinkler System PA-3, PA-4, PA-6, and PA-7 May Not Actuate Summary The purpose of this evaluation is to justify the treatment of the containment annulus in the same way the containment is treated in 10 CFR 50 Appendix R. Revision 1 to this FPEE evaluates the functional requirements for the existing pre-action fire suppression systems inside the containment annulus. FA 68 and 72 are in compliance with Appendix R, Section III.G.2.d, because redundant trains of equipment required for safe shutdown are separated by greater than 20 feet free of intervening combustibles. Although the Annulus is not inside the containment pressure Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 277 boundary, it is inside the Reactor Containment Building and it qualifies to be treated like an area inside containment because access to the area is restricted in the same way access is restricted to containment during power operation. Reference 4.15 supports this position that the annulus is inside the Reactor Containment Building. Since FA 68 and FA 72 can be treated like areas inside containment, the partial area fire detection and automatic fire suppression in the Annulus do not need to be credited to meet the requirements of Appendix R, Section III.G.2. In addition, the functional requirements and surveillances required to ensure operability are not required for the cable tray sprinkler systems in the annulus of either unit, FA 68 and FA 72. EEEE Title FPEE-11-048, NFPA 72E, 1974, 1982, 1987 Plant Areas / Systems Not Addressed in FPP-5 R2 Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of automatic fire detectors not previously reviewed in FPP-5 R2, NFPA 72E Code Compliance Evaluation, dated April 21, 2004. One issue has been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Two recommendations are provided to consider augmenting detection actuation device coverage in Fire Area 25 (Diesel Generator 1) and in Fire Area 18 (Relay and Computer Room) pending the results of the Fire PRA. If the Fire PRA relies on the capabilities of the detection actuation devices for suppression system actuation, then additional actions will be required. An action request is tracking resolution of both issues. Additional actions are required in the Screenhouse (electric fire pump enclosure) to resolve the lack of a heat actuating device in the electric fire pump enclosure, and in the Annulus of each unit to address the Appendix A commitment to a preaction sprinkler system that is actuated by HADs in the Annulus of each unit. Action requests have been initiated to track resolution of the identified issues. Variances from Deterministic Requirements (VFDR) VFDR-071 01 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements occurs from a fire in FA 071 that could damage cables for CV-31247 and CV-31426. Fire induced cable damage and spurious closure of this component will interrupt RCP seal leakoff flow, which is credited for RCP seal injection. The Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria is not met for Inventory Control. Components and Cables: 21 RCP TBHX CC, CV-31247 (2C-2555, 2C-2560, 2C-472, 2C-473, 2C-474, 2C-475) 21 RCP seal water outlet isolation CV, CV-31426 (2C-1433, 2C-1434, 2C-1435)
This condition represents a variance from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3 due to a lack of separation between redundant trains of RCP seal cooling. Compliant Case: CV-31247 or CV-31426 should remain free of fire damage to provide thermal barrier cooling to the RCP seals. Disposition Recovery Action(s): No recovery action. Modification to install shutdown RCP seals will alleviate the need for a recovery action given RCS injection is restored from the control room to provide makeup for RCS leakage (Table S-2). This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with a plant modification. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 278 VFDR-071 02 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements occurs from a fire in FA 071 that could damage cables for CV-31248 and CV-31427. Fire induced cable damage and spurious closure of this component will interrupt RCP seal leakoff flow, which is credited for RCP seal injection. The Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria is not met for Inventory Control. Components and Cables: 22 RCP TBHX CC, CV-31248 (2C-2559, 2C-477, 2C-478, 2C-479, 2C-497) 22 RCP seal water outlet isolation CV, CV-31427 (2C-1438, 2C-1439, 2C-1440) This condition represents a variance from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3 due to a lack of separation between redundant trains of RCP seal cooling. Compliant Case: CV-31248 or CV-31427 should remain free of fire damage to provide thermal barrier cooling to the RCP seals. Disposition Recovery Action(s): No recovery actions. Modification to install shutdown RCP seals will alleviate the need for a recovery action given RCS injection is restored from the control room to provide makeup for RCS leakage (Table S-2). This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with a plant modification.

Water will drain out doors and drains which will minimize the potential for flooding damage; such that the standing water would not affect safety related electrical equipment which is mounted on pedestals above the floor level minimizing the potential for flooding damage. Therefore, fire suppression activities are not expected to adversely affect achievement of the nuclear safety performance criteria. The PINGP fire brigade is trained to discharge water in a judicious manner and instructed to direct hose streams and portable extinguishers at the base of the fire to limit the amount of overspray beyond the immediate fire area. For this reason, fire brigade activities are not expected to fail components not already considered damaged.

This evaluation, through the use of a bounding condition, finds that the lesser-rated doors, where used in PINGP, are acceptable given the combustible loading and available suppression systems of the areas. No challenges to barrier integrity or safe shutdown will occur as a result of the current barrier configuration, as bound by this evaluation. The doors listed are considered acceptable without modification or further administrative control. EEEE Title FPEE-11-001, Gaps on Doors 278 & 279 Summary The purpose of this evaluation is to justify that sliding fire Doors 278 and 279 are acceptable as installed. The doors will provide adequate protection against the spread of fire in their current configuration Based on: minimal combustible loading on either side of both doors, the 3© concrete curb which will provide an additional level of protection to prevent flame propagation under the minor door to floor gaps, automatic smoke detection in the walkways, manual firefighting equipment located nearby, the lack of safe shutdown equipment in the area and therefore will not impact the ability to achieve and maintain safe shutdown. EEEE Title FPEE-11-048, NFPA 72E, 1974, 1982, 1987 Plant Areas / Systems Not Addressed in FPP-5 R2 Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of automatic fire detectors not previously reviewed in FPP-5 R2, NFPA 72E Code Compliance Evaluation, dated April 21, 2004. One issue has been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Two recommendations are provided to consider augmenting detection actuation device coverage in Fire Area 25 (Diesel Generator 1) and in Fire Area Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 285 18 (Relay and Computer Room) pending the results of the Fire PRA. If the Fire PRA relies on the capabilities of the detection actuation devices for suppression system actuation, then additional actions will be required. An action request is tracking resolution of both issues. 6.4 Additional actions are required in the Screenhouse (electric fire pump enclosure) to resolve the lack of a heat actuating device in the electric fire pump enclosure, and in the Annulus of each unit to address the Appendix A commitment to a preaction sprinkler system that is actuated by HADs in the Annulus of each unit. Action requests have been initiated to track resolution of the identified issues. EEEE Title FPEE-11-049, NFPA 80, 1968 Code Compliance Deviations Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of required fire doors in F5 Appendix K fire barriers for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 80 -1968, Standard for Fire Doors and Windows (Code of Record). Six deviations have been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Eight deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliance associated with use of gates, not doors in required fire barriers, insulation attached to the inside of a required door, access openings through three doors, four doors for which a fire rating could not be determined (two of which include transoms), the qualification of frames in fire door assemblies, transoms with penetrations above two rated doors, doors that would not close under airflow, and two sets of door combinations without positive latching. Each deviation is being tracked in the corrective action system. EEEE Title FPEE-12-002; CA-01327430-1, Steam Line Pipe Penetrations without Penetration Seals PENF-1526, PENF-1528, PENF-1689, & PENF-1692 Summary The purpose of this evaluation is to assess the impact on fire safe shutdown capability of four main steam and four feedwater line penetrations, also referred to in this evaluation as pipe penetrations, that are not provided with 3-hour fire rated penetration seals in G-wall separating the Turbine Operating Deck from the 735ft elevation of the Auxiliary Building. PENF-1526, PENF-1528, PENF 1530, and PENF-1533 contain pipe penetrations through G-wall between the Unit 1 side of the Turbine Operating Deck, Fire Area 8, and Fire Area 60 on the 735ft elevation of the Auxiliary Building. PENF-1686, PENF-1687, PENF-1689, and PENF-1692 contain pipe penetrations through G-wall between the Unit 2 side of the Turbine Operating Deck, Fire Area 8, and Fire Area 75 on the 735R elevation of the Auxiliary Building. Boot seals are provided on the Auxiliary Building side of all eight pipe penetrations, but there is no other seal material in the rest of each penetration through G-wall. The unprotected penetrations represent a path of potential fire spread between the Turbine Operating Deck, Fire Area 8, and Fire Area 60 and Fire Area 75 on the 735ft elevation of the Auxiliary Building. Postulated fires in Fire Area 8, Fire Area 60, and Fire Area 75 would not adversely impact redundant safe shutdown capability consisting of the Turbine Stop Valves in Fire Area 8 and the MSlVs and solenoid valves in Fire Area 60 and Fire Area 75. The bases for this conclusion include the following: The types, quantities, and continuity of combustible materials in Fire Area 60 or Fire Area 75 would not result in a sufficient heat release rate for fire to spread to, or spread through, the pipe penetrations into Fire Area 8. The Turbine Stop Valves in Fire Area 8 are between 50ff and 70ft from the pipe penetrations through G-wall. The only postulated fires that could result in damage to the Turbine Stop Valves and be large enough to potentially spread to the pipe penetrations would involve either a turbine bearing oil fire or a catastrophic failure of the turbine oil system. The turbine bearings are protected by an automatically-actuated preaction sprinkler system, with that portion protecting the exciter manually-actuated, that will respond to postulated turbine bearing oil fires and result in prompt fire brigade response. Postulated catastrophic turbine oil system failures could result in very severe fires; however, the areas where oil piping runs and oil can spread are protected by automatic wet pipe sprinkler systems. Postulated turbine bearing oil fires and postulated catastrophic turbine oil system failure fires would result in significant heat release rates and smoke production; however, the large volume of the turbine building combined with the existing smoke hatches that are fitted with automatic releases would release smoke and hot gas tithe environment and delay the effects of such fires from banking down to the level of the pipe penetrations located 50 feet below the roof. The main steam and feedwater line penetrations have limited annular gaps, 10in and 7in respectively, for passage of fire to Fire Area 60 and Fire Area 75. There is very limited continuity of combustible materials in Fire Areas 60 and Fire Area 75 for fire to spread from Fire Area 8 to the vicinity of the MSlVs and solenoid valves.

Door 429 should receive field maintenance to adjust the hinges to remove the gap. If this is not successful, the door should be replaced. Doors 34, 54, and 63 should be re-inspected. The field verification could not determine gaps exceeding the acceptance criteria for these doors. If the re-inspection does determine the gaps are non-compliant, the evaluation of each door as contained in this evaluation is applicable and the doors are acceptable as-is. EEEE Title FPEE-11-022, NFPA 90A, 1969, 1978 Code Compliance Deviations Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of HVAC systems and fire dampers for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 90A - 1969 and NFPA 90A - 1978, Standard for Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems (Codes of Record.) Two separate code editions are evaluated in this review based on the time period of initial ductwork and damper installations and subsequent modifications to include additional fire dampers as a result of the 1979 NRC Fire Protection Safety Evaluation Report, along with changes to incorporate additional criteria such as steam exclusion. One deviation has been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 302 necessary. Four deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliances associated with the criteria to shut down HVAC systems during the performance of hot work, the lack of fire dampers in specified horizontal and vertical fire barriers, and the location of two sets of fire dampers outside of the plane of the barrier. Action Requests have been initiated to track resolution of the identified issues. Variances from Deterministic Requirements (VFDR) VFDR-080 01 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements results in loss of automatic backwash to 11, 12, 21, and 22 Cooling Water (CL) Strainers, due to fire damage to cables. Fire damage could potentially cause loss of Bus 111. Power is provided from Panel MCC-1AB1 to Panel 136 via Bus 111. Bus 111 is the power source for 230V Panel 136 which provides the control power to the backwash control panel for all four of the CL Strainers when they are in the Normal Control Mode of backwash operation. Loss of Panel 136 results in the loss of automatic backwash control for all four CL Strainers. Bus 111 is located in FA 080. This condition would challenge the Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria for Vital Auxiliaries. Components and Cables: MCC-1AB1, motor control center 1AB Bus 1 (111C-1, 111C-2, 111C-3, 111C-4, 211C-1 and 211C-2) This represents a variation from the deterministic requirements (VFDR) of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3 due to a lack of separation between redundant trains of cooling water strainers. Compliance Case: The ability to backwash the CL strainers should be available, to ensure strainer plugging is alleviated, so adequate cooling is provided for plant equipment heat loads. This would impact both Unit 1 and Unit 2. Disposition Recovery Action(s): A recovery action is required to switch the 22 CL Strainer from Normal Control mode to Emergency Control mode (F5 App D). This action is located in the plant screenhouse, FA 41A (FDZ 75). This recovery action will prevent plugging of the strainer, and avoid loss of the CL system. This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with recovery action credited.

Based on the type of fire expected in these fire areas, the generation of smoke will exceed the generation of heat during the incipient stage of a fire. Therefore, the area smoke detection will provide the early warning of a fire. The heat detectors are not credited in the USAR by reference to F5 Appendix K, but will provide a secondary level of automatic detection. Based on the lack of credit given to the heat detectors, the requirements of NFPA 72E are not mandatory and the functional testing for the rate of rise function is adequate. The additional testing of the fixed temperature function through destructive testing at a nationally recognized laboratory is not cost justified for the minor benefit. The lack of meeting the full code requirement for non-restorable heat detection testing will not have adverse effect on safe shutdown for any of the affected fire areas.

Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 323 EEEE Title FPEE-12-006, CA-01311038-03, Fire Area 85 Boundaries and F5 Appendix K Barriers Summary The purpose of this evaluation is to assess two distinct but related issues. One is the impact on fire safe shutdown capability of the fire area boundaries surrounding Fire Area 85. The second is the relocation of the F5 Appendix K barrier on the 715ft elevation. Based on the identified types and locations of combustible materials, the similarity fire safe shutdown impact, and the fire protection features provided, there is reasonable assurance that fire will not spread between Fire Area 85 and Fire Areas 60 and 75 on the 735ft elevation and between Fire Area 85 and Fire Areas 59 and 74 on the 715ft elevation and adversely impact fire safe shutdown capability. The only redundant safe shutdown capability is associated with CV-31742 in Fire Area 85 and CV-31743 in Fire Area 74 which are Train B and Train A, respectively, of the Unit 2 Reactor Building Instrument Air isolation control valves. Based on the large spatial separation between cabling for the components, there is no impact on fire safe shutdown capability should a fire spread between Fire Area 74 and Fire Area 85. As such, the F5 Appendix K fire barrier between the areas can be deleted.

The maximum fire exposure duration to a 1.5 hour fire door protecting an Appendix R area, as bound by this evaluation, is 31 minutes. Applying a "one-half barrier rating" acceptance criteria, the 1.5 hour doors in Appendix R barriers are acceptable due to the maximum exposure being less than one-half of the 1.5 hour rating. EEEE Title FPEE 01086132-0, Condition/Fire Protection Evaluation Adequacy of the fire boundary between Fire Area 76 (Vent and Fan Room, Unit 2, 755© Auxiliary Building) and Fire Area 92 (Water Chiller Room, Unit 2, 755© Auxiliary Building) without an installed three-hour fire damper Summary The Purpose of this evaluation is to address the adequacy of the fire boundary between Fire Area 76 (Vent and Fan Room, Unit 2, 755© Auxiliary Building) and Fire Area 92 (Water Chiller Room, Unit 2, 755© Auxiliary Building) without an installed three-hour fire damper in a duct transversing the barrier. Although the duct work is not in a fire-tested configuration, the construction of the duct itself provides a one-hour measure of fire protection. Additionally, a lack of combustibles and ignition sources in the vicinity of the duct, as well as control of transient combustibles, minimizes the risk of fire. Should a fire occur, area-wide detection would quickly alert operators to the presence of products of combustion. The existing duct configuration (without damper) provides adequate protection from a fire in Fire Area 76 propagating into Fire Area 92. EEEE Title FPEE-11-022, NFPA 90A, 1969, 1978 Code Compliance Deviations Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of HVAC systems and fire dampers for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 90A - 1969 and NFPA 90A - 1978, Standard for Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems (Codes of Record.) Two separate code editions are evaluated in this review based on the time period of initial ductwork and damper installations and subsequent modifications to include additional fire dampers as a result of the 1979 NRC Fire Protection Safety Evaluation Report, along with Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 332 changes to incorporate additional criteria such as steam exclusion. One deviation has been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Four deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliances associated with the criteria to shut down HVAC systems during the performance of hot work, the lack of fire dampers in specified horizontal and vertical fire barriers, and the location of two sets of fire dampers outside of the plane of the barrier. Action Requests have been initiated to track resolution of the identified issues.

The deviations have been justified as acceptable to the requirements of NFPA 13; therefore this evaluation is not being carried forward into the LAR since the basis for acceptance is a compliant feature. EEEE Title FPEE-11-048, NFPA 72E, 1974, 1982, 1987 Plant Areas / Systems Not Addressed in FPP-5 R2 Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of automatic fire detectors not previously reviewed in FPP-5 R2, NFPA 72E Code Compliance Evaluation, dated April 21, 2004. One issue has been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Two recommendations are provided to consider augmenting detection actuation device coverage in Fire Area 25 (Diesel Generator 1) and in Fire Area 18 (Relay and Computer Room) pending the results of the Fire PRA. If the Fire PRA relies on the capabilities of the detection actuation devices for suppression system actuation, then additional actions will be required. An action request is tracking resolution of both issues. Additional actions are required in the Screenhouse (electric fire pump enclosure) to resolve the lack of a heat actuating device in the electric fire pump enclosure, and in the Annulus of each unit to address the Appendix A commitment to a preaction sprinkler system that is actuated by HADs in the Annulus of each unit. Action requests have been initiated to track resolution of the identified issues. EEEE Title FPEE-11-050, NFPA 14, 1986 Standpipes and Hose Stations Code Compliance Deviations Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of the standpipe and hose station systems for compliance with the applicable requirements cited in National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 14 -1986, Standard for the Installation of Standpipe and Hose Systems. Four deviations have been found acceptable based on the justification provided. One deviation has been found to be unacceptable and will require the performance of hydraulic calculations to verify the design bases of the standpipe and hose station system. Perform hydraulic calculations for FP systems will resolve this issue.

Door 43 should be replaced due to the skin separation from the door frame. Door 429 should receive field maintenance to adjust the hinges to remove the gap. If this is not successful, the door should be replaced. Doors 34, 54, and 63 should be re-inspected. The field verification could not determine gaps exceeding the acceptance criteria for these doors. If the re-inspection does determine the gaps are non-compliant, the evaluation of each door as contained in this evaluation is applicable and the doors are acceptable as-is. EEEE Title FPEE-11-052, NFPA 13, 1969, 1980, 1989 Code Compliance Deviations, SWP-1, 12, 2, 4, 3, 13, 14, 5, 6, 31, D5/D6 stairwells Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of the wet pipe sprinkler systems protecting stairways. The stairway suppression systems addressed in this analysis are SWP-1, SWP-2, SWP-3, SWP-4, SWP-5, SWP-6, SWP-12, SWP-13, SWP-14, SWP-31, and the D5/D6 Building Stair (identified as 2FP-92-2, the system isolation valve, in F5 Appendix F, Fire Hazards Analysis.) The stairway suppression systems are located in the Turbine, Auxiliary, Radwaste, Service, and D5/D6 Buildings. The systems have been reviewed for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems. The codes of record for these systems are: NFPA 13-1969: SWP-1, SWP-2, SWP-3, SWP-4, SWP-5, SWP-6, SWP-12, SWP-13, SWP-14 NFPA 13-1980: SWP-31 NFPA 13-1989: D5/D6 Building Stair Five deviations have been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Four deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliance associated with flushing of the D5/D6 Stair, pressure gauges that read higher than maximum system pressure, pendent heads without return bends all stairway systems except SWP-31 and the D5/D6 Stair, and a missing protective canopy over a sprinkler in SWP-14. Action Requests have been initiated to track resolution of the identified issues. EEEE Title FPEE-11-021, NFPA 90A, 1985 Code Compliance Deviations, D5/D6 Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of HVAC systems and fire dampers in the D5/D6 Building for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 90A - 1985, Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems (Code of Record). There are a total of 16 fire dampers in HVAC duct penetrations of fire barriers in the D5/D6 Building at PINGP. Two deviations have been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. There are no deviations that require additional actions. EEEE Title FPEE 01193322-03, D5 Cable Spreading Room Structural Steel Fireproofing Summary This evaluation will determine the acceptability of the 4-foot section on the underside of the bottom flange of a steel beam in the D5 Cable Spreading Room that is not coated with fireproof material. The condition will be evaluated against the licensing basis. Based on the existing detection, extinguishers, combustible loading, ignition source control, and fire brigade response the evaluation demonstrates that the lack of fire proofing material is acceptable based on defense in depth SSCs which are adequate for the identified hazard, and is therefore acceptable. EEEE Title FPEE-11-019, NFPA 80, 1986 Code Compliance Deviations D5/D6 Building Summary The purpose of this analysis is to document the review of required fire doors in F5 Appendix K fire barriers for compliance with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 80 -1986, Standard for Fire Doors and Windows (Code of Record). Three deviations have been justified as "acceptable"; therefore, no further action is necessary. Two deviations require additional actions to resolve the noncompliances associated with the qualification of frames in fire door assemblies and the failure of doors to self-close and latch due to changes in ambient airflow conditions in the D5/D6 Building. Action Requests have been initiated to track resolution of the identified issues.
Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 343 Variances from Deterministic Requirements (VFDR) VFDR-97 01 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements results in loss of automatic backwash to the 11, 12, 21 and 22 Cooling Water (CL) strainers, due to fire damage to cables. Fire damage could cause a loss of overcurrent trip protection of breakers BKR 15-8 and/or BKR 15-12. The loss of overcurrent trip protection of the breaker can result in a lockout for 4.16KV Bus 15. Bus 15 is the ultimate power source for MCC 1AB1 which powers 230V Panel 136, which provides the control power to the backwash control panel for all four of the CL Strainers when they are in the Normal Control Mode of backwash operation. Loss of Panel 136 results in the loss of automatic backwash control for all four CL Strainers. CL Strainers 11 and 21 are powered from MCC 1AB1 and lose power, so that backwash capability cannot be restored to these strainers. This condition would challenge the Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria for Vital Auxiliaries. Components and Cables: BKR 15-8 (25417-1, 25417-2, 25417-D, 2CA-749) BKR 15-12 (15412-1, 2CA-749, 211A-1, 211A-2, 211A-3, 212A-2) This represents a variation from the deterministic requirements (VFDR) of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3 due to a lack of separation between redundant trains of cooling water strainers. Compliant Case: The ability to automatically backwash the CL Strainers should be available, to ensure strainer plugging is alleviated, so adequate cooling is provided for plant equipment heat loads. This would impact both Unit 1 and Unit 2. Disposition Recovery Action(s): A modification to ensure that over current trip protection remains available for Bus 15 (Table S-2). This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with a plant modification credited. VFDR-97 01 This Variance From Deterministic Requirements is caused by fire damage to cables 25410-A and 25410-B causing a spurious start of 21 AFW Pump (MTR 25-10). This can result in SG overfill of the credited SG. This condition represents a variance from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3. The NFPA 805 Nuclear Safety Performance Goal is not met for Decay Heat Removal. Components and Cables: MTR-25-10 25410-A, 25410-B This represents a variation from the deterministic requirements (VFDR) of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3.4.b due to a lack of separation between redundant trains of decay heat removal due to over-fill of steam generator. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment C - Table B-3 Fire Area Transition PINGP Page C- 344 Compliant Case: One train of Decay Heat Removal should remain available. Disposition Recovery Action(s): Locally close MV-32383 and MV-32384 in FA 031 to isolate the uncontrolled feed to 21 and 22 SG. This VFDR has been evaluated and it was determined that the risk, safety margin and defense-in-depth meet the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4 with a recovery action credited.

EEEE Title FPEE 10-006, AR 1179070-03, Evaluate Impact of Inconsistent Closing of Door 428 between D6 EDG Control Room & D6 Future Battery Room Summary This evaluation is being performed to evaluate the door between the D6 Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) Control Room (Fire Area 104) and the D6 Future Battery Room (Fire Area 106) on the 695© elevation of the D51D6 Building (also known as the SBO Building). The door between the two rooms, Door 428, does not consistently close and latch due to ventilation pressure against the door. This evaluation will determine the impact of the door on safe shutdown of the plant. Administrative controls will be established to ensure that the room is only used for spare breaker storage. The fire loading in Fire Area 106, the D6 Future Battery Room, will be revised in the FHA and the Combustible Loading Calculation (Reference 4.2 and 4.6) to reflect the spare breakers and FME covers. The FHA will also document that Door 428 is not required for safe shutdown. The D5 (Train A) portion of the building is adequately separated from the D6 (Train B) portion of the building; as such, a fire in either portion will not have an impact on redundant safe shutdown capability. The separation of redundant safe shutdown capability, combined with the existing negligible combustible loading, minimal ignition sources, and the early warning smoke detection in conjunction with fire brigade response provide assurance that a fire in these fire areas will not result in damage to both trains of electrical components. This door is acceptable in its current configuration and it will not impact the ability to achieve and maintain safe shutdown.

FAQ 07-0040 (Revision 4) Implementing Guidance F.1 - Review Existing Outage Management Processes Define Higher Risk Evolutions (HREs), if not already defined in plant outage management procedures. The HRE definition should consider the following:
- Time to boil
- Reactor coolant system and fuel pool inventory
- Decay heat removal capability In accordance with NUMARC 91-06
- Activities that may impact Key Safety Functions (KSFs) should be limited and strictly controlled during HREs or infrequently performed evolutions. Review Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP) Engineering Evaluation EC-20612, "Non-Power Operation Modes Review," defines Higher Risk Evolutions (HRE) as: "Outage activities, plant configurations, or conditions during shutdown where the plant is more susceptible to an event causing the loss of a key safety function." Outage Management Procedure, 5AWI 15.6.0, "Outage Scheduling and Outage Management," implements the PINGP philosophy of outage risk management for Modes 4 through 6, and when the reactor is defueled. Procedure 5AWI 15.6.1, "Shutdown Safety Assessment," identifies the KSFs that need to be maintained and provides guidelines for maintaining them. The procedure identifies special requirements for reduced inventory and mid-loop conditions. These conditions are based on short times to boil, limited methods available for decay heat removal (e.g. only the Residual Heat Removal (RHR) system available), and low Reactor Coolant System (RCS) inventory. These conditions are also consistent with FAQ 07-0040 Revision 4 (ML082200528) guidance which considers these conditions to be generally the period of highest risk. The Non-Power Operations (NPO) assessment for PINGP consists of the following "higher risk evolutions" when the Plant Operating States (POSs) meet the conditions identified immediately below, thus constituting a "higher risk condition":

Northern States Power Company Attachment D - Non-Power Operational Modes Transition PINGP Page D-4 F.2 - Identify Components and Cables The identification of systems and components to be included in this NPO Review begins with the identification of the POSs that need to be considered. Identify the various operational states that a plant goes through during NPO, and which ones are the most risk significant. Review The PINGP NPO Transition Review is documented in PINGP Engineering Evaluation EC-20612, "Non-Power Operation Modes Review." The following POSs were considered for this review: POS 1: This POS starts when the RHR system is put into service. The RCS is closed such that a steam generator could be used for decay heat removal, if the secondary side of a steam generator is filled. The RCS may have a bubble in the pressurizer. The POS ends when the RCS is vented such that the steam generators cannot sustain core heat removal. The POS typically includes Mode 4 (Hot Shutdown) and portions of Mode 5 (Cold Shutdown). For the purposes of the NPO assessment this POS has been identified with two variations (configurations POS 1A and POS 1B): one with steam generators available for heat removal, and the other where the steam generators are no longer available. POS 1A: In this configuration steam generators are available along with the RHR System. There is sufficient redundancy and diversity to remove core decay heat such that risk to core damage is significantly low and does not warrant further review under this NPO assessment. Therefore, this POS configuration will not be considered for additional engineering analysis for the NFPA 805 transition for PINGP. POS 1B: In this configuration the steam generators are no longer capable of being used to remove core decay heat and the RHR system is the sole means of maintaining RCS temperature. For the PINGP evaluation this POS considered that the RCS has been cooled to the point where the steam generators are no longer capable of steaming and removing decay heat. At this point the RCS has not yet been vented, and may be in the process of being taken out of solid plant conditions to remove steam and non-condensable gases from the pressurizer. Once this short duration solid plant operation is completed, the RCS will be vented, and the plant will be in POS 2. This POS configuration has been considered in the PINGP Review. POS 2: This POS begins when the RCS has been vented such that the steam generators cannot sustain core heat removal, and an adequate vent path exists to preclude the RCS from re-pressurizing to a point where the RHR system would need to be isolated and made unavailable. This operational state will include portions of Mode 5 (Cold Shutdown) and Mode 6 (Refueling). This POS includes reduced inventory operations and mid-loop operations with a vented RCS, and has been considered in the PINGP NPO assessment. POS 3: This POS represents the shutdown condition when the refueling cavity water level is at or above the minimum level required for movement of irradiated fuel assemblies with containment as defined by the PINGP Technical Specifications. This POS occurs during Mode 6, and has been considered in the PINGP NPO assessment. PINGP Procedure 5AWI 15.6.1 identifies the KSFs that are included in this NPO assessment. Based upon the POS defined above, it was determined that not all of the KSFs from 5AWI Northern States Power Company Attachment D - Non-Power Operational Modes Transition PINGP Page D-5 15.6.1 need to be included in this NPO assessment. The KSFs identified in 5AWI 15.6.1, for each unit, are:
- Decay Heat Removal - RCS
- Decay Heat Removal - SFP
- Inventory Control
- Power Availability (4160 Volts, 480 Volts, 120 Volt Instrument Buses, 120 Volt UPS Loads, DC)
- Reactivity Control
- Containment The NPO Model includes the Component Cooling Water, Instrument Air, and the Cooling Water System as a supporting function to the other KSFs. These systems are not specifically identified as unique KSFs in the NPO Model. The systems are included as a supporting function to other NPO systems / functions and/or equipment. The initial identification of plant equipment required for NPO (i.e., NPO equipment) was performed from a review of the NPO flowpaths / systems / functions and equipment identified in the PINGP Operations Procedures. The NPO equipment was identified primarily from system and paths identified in 5AWI 15.6.1. Additional components were added as needed to support these paths and as necessary to provide success paths for fires occurring during the "Higher Risk Evolutions" (e.g. reduced inventory).
The identification of NPO equipment also included review of the PINGP Piping and Instrumentation Drawings to select: (1) electrically operated plant equipment whose active function would be required to support the associated NPO flowpaths / systems / functions, and (2) electrically operated plant equipment whose spurious operation could be adverse to the successful performance of the associated NPO flowpaths / systems / functions. The functional attribute(s) required of each NPO component to support the associated NPO flowpaths / systems / functions were identified (i.e. Valve required to be open, to be closed, to remain operable, Motor Control Center required to be energized, Instrument Loop required "available" to provide reliable indication, etc.). Most of the plant equipment that was determined to be required for the NPO Model was already included in the NFPA 805 at-power Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria (NSPC) Model and/or the Fire PRA Model. Furthermore, most of these components were determined to have been analyzed consistently with the functional attributes required for the associated NPO flowpath / system / function (i.e., valve required to be operable for Fire PRA - same valve required to be operable for NPO). As such, most of the existing circuit analysis/cable selection for the NFPA 805 at-power NSPC Model and the Fire PRA Model was determined to be adequate for use in the NPO Model. Circuit analysis/cable selection was performed for each "NPO only" component based on the functional attribute(s) required of each NPO component. The circuit analysis/cable selection identified the plant cable(s) required to remain free of fire damage in order for the NPO component to be credited as "available" in the subsequent NPO Analysis. The cable to equipment relationships were incorporated into the SAFE database as CABLE LOGIC. Northern States Power Company Attachment D - Non-Power Operational Modes Transition PINGP Page D-6 Each "NPO only" component and cable was assigned plant fire zone locations consistent with those already defined for the NFPA 805 at-power NSPC Model and the Fire PRA Model. All of the location information was entered into the SAFE database. PINGP aligns with FAQ 07-0040 implementing guidance, F.2, Identify Components and Cables.

Northern States Power Company Attachment D - Non-Power Operational Modes Transition PINGP Page D-7 F.3 - Perform Fire Area Assessments (Identify pinch points) Identify locations where:
- Fires may cause damage to the equipment (and cabling) credited above, or
- KSFs are achieved solely by crediting recovery actions, e.g., alignment of gravity feed.
Fire modeling may be used to determine if postulated fires in a fire area are expected to damage equipment (and cabling) thereby eliminating a pinch point. To implement this guidance perform the following tasks:
- Determine if a single fire in the fire area can cause loss of success paths for a KSF.
- Conservatively, assume the entire contents of a fire area are lost. Document the loss of success paths. Specifically identify those areas that cause loss of all success paths for a KSF.
- If fire modeling is used to limit the damage in a fire area, document that fire modeling is credited and ensure the basis for acceptability of that model (location, type, and quantity of combustible, etc.) is documented. These critical design inputs should be maintained during outage modes. Fire modeling treatment should include an assessment of safety margin to account for uncertainties/accuracy of the fire model used.
Review A deterministic fire separation analysis (i.e., assuming full area burn) was performed as documented in PINGP Engineering Evaluation EC-20612, "Non-Power Operation Modes Review," to identify pinch points (i.e., areas where redundant equipment and cables credited for a given KSF fail due to fire damage). There is a total of sixty (60) fire areas at the PINGP.
- Twenty-eight (28) fire areas were found to have an adequate number of KSF success paths to survive the entire contents loss of the fire area.
- Thirty-two (32) fire areas were found to have pinch points resulting in the potential loss of one or more KSFs success paths. Fire modeling was not utilized to eliminate identification of pinch point fire areas as part of the implementation process for the step F.3 guidance from FAQ 07-0040. PINGP aligns with FAQ 07-0040 implementing guidance, F.3, Perform Fire Area Assessments (Identify pinch points).

Northern States Power Company Attachment D - Non-Power Operational Modes Transition PINGP Page D-8 F.4 - Manage Risks Associated with Fire-Induced Vulnerabilities During the Outage The nuclear safety goal is to provide reasonable assurance that a fire during any operational mode and plant configuration will not prevent the plant from achieving and maintaining the fuel in a safe and stable condition. During those NPO evolutions where risk is relatively low, the normal fire protection program defense-in-depth actions are credited for addressing the risk impact of those fires that potentially impact one or more trains of equipment that provide a KSF required during non-power operations. The following actions are considered to be adequate to address minor losses of system capability or redundancy during those NPO evolutions where risk is relatively low:
- Control of Ignition Sources o Hot Work (cutting, welding and/or grinding) o Temporary Electrical Installations o Electric portable space heaters
- Control of Combustibles o Transient fire hazards o Modifications o Flammable and Combustible liquids and gases
- Compensatory Actions for fire protection system impairments o Openings in fire barriers o Inoperable fire detectors or detection systems o Inoperable fire suppression systems o Housekeeping As required by NFPA 805 Chapter 3, the Fire Protection Program defense-in-depth administrative programs described above are in place during all NPO modes. During those NPO evolutions that are defined as HREs:
Additional fire protection defense in depth measures will be taken during HREs by:
- Managing risk in fire areas that contain known pinch points (all success paths for a KSF subject to damage by a fire).
- Managing risk in fire areas where the pinch points may arise because of equipment taken out of service. NUMARC 91-06 discusses the development of outage plans and schedules. A key element of that process is to ensure the KSFs perform as needed during the various outage evolutions. During outage planning, the NPO Fire Area Assessment should be reviewed to identify areas of single-point KSF vulnerability during higher risk evolutions to develop any needed contingency Northern States Power Company Attachment D - Non-Power Operational Modes Transition PINGP Page D-9 plans/actions. For those areas consider combinations of the following options to reduce fire risk, depending upon the significance of the potential damage:
- Prohibition or limitation of hot work in fire areas during periods of increased vulnerability.
- Verification of operable detection and /or suppression in the vulnerable areas.
- Prohibition or limitation of combustible materials in fire areas during periods of increased vulnerability.
- Plant configuration changes (e.g., removing power from equipment once it is placed in its desired position).
- Provision of additional fire patrols at periodic intervals or other appropriate compensatory measures (such as surveillance cameras) during increased vulnerability.
- Use of recovery actions to mitigate potential losses of key safety functions.
- Identification and monitoring in-situ ignition sources for "fire precursors" (e.g., equipment temperatures).
- Reschedule the work to a period with lower risk or higher DID. In addition, for KSF Equipment removed from service during the HREs the impact should be evaluated based on KSF equipment status and the NPO Fire Area Assessment to develop needed contingency plans/actions.
Review A KSF pinch point analysis was performed for all PINGP fire areas in accordance with NFPA 805 and NRC FAQ 07-0040 Rev. 4 guidance. For fire areas where the pinch point analysis identified areas of single-point KSF vulnerability and higher risk, combinations of the following options to reduce fire risk were considered, depending upon the significance of the potential damage:
- Prohibition or limitation of hot work in fire areas during periods of increased vulnerability.
- Verification of operable fire detection and /or suppression in the vulnerable areas.
- Prohibition or limitation of combustible materials in fire areas during periods of increased vulnerability.
- Plant configuration changes (e.g., removing power from equipment once it is placed in its desired position).
- Provision of additional fire patrols at periodic intervals or other appropriate compensatory measures (such as surveillance cameras) during increased vulnerability.
- Use of recovery actions to mitigate potential losses of key safety functions.
- Identification and monitoring in-situ ignition sources for "fire precursors" (e.g., equipment temperatures).
- Reschedule the work to a period with lower risk or higher DID. Note: The use of recovery actions to mitigate potential losses of key safety functions is not credited in the NPO analysis contained within PINGP Engineering Evaluation EC-20612, "Non-Power Operation Modes Review," contemporaneous with this LAR submittal.
Northern States Power Company Attachment D - Non-Power Operational Modes Transition PINGP Page D-10 The NPO analysis is contained within PINGP Engineering Evaluation EC-20612, "Non-Power Operation Modes Review," which includes the NPO equipment and cable selection process and results, the NPO cable failure analysis, the NPO KSF pinch point analysis process and results by fire area, the NPO risk reduction actions to be completed, and the evaluation and definition of PINGP POS's that are considered HREs.
PINGP procedure 5AWI 3.13.0, "Fire Protection Program," will be revised to contain an overview of the NPO requirements, the commitments for implementation of the NPO risk reduction actions required by PINGP Engineering Evaluation EC-20612, "Non-Power Operation Modes Review," and a road map to identify the site specific implementing procedures used to implement the NPO requirements. Fire protection procedures that implement NPO requirements include the following (See Attachment S):

No specific requirements are necessary for the hot work controls because they are in place in all plant operating states. Additional guidance and controls are in place to ensure the HRE risk reduction tools are implemented prior to entry into a plant HRE. Guidance is also in place to monitor the plant state (T-Boil Times) to determine when the HRE is exited. PINGP outage procedures that implement NPO guidance include the following (see Attachment S):

NEI 04-02 Radioactive Release Transition 34 Pages Attached Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment E - Radioactive Release Transition PINGP Page E-2 Fire Area Compartmentation and Screening The PINGP Radiation Release evaluation is performed and documented on a Fire Area basis. This screening step is provided to evaluate each fire area and determine if the fire area is within scope of this evaluation based on the potential for radiological release in the event of a fire within the fire area. A fire area is either screened in when it affects radiological release or is screened out when it cannot affect radiological release. Attachment E identifies the results of the fire area screening. Attachment E is a combination of Table E-1, Radioactive Release Compartment Review, and Table E-2, Radioactive Release Transition Engineered Controls Review, from the LAR Template. The requisite information and content from LAR Template Tables E-1 and E-2 is provided in Attachment E. Attachment E provides reference to Attachment S for the implementation items that will result in compliance with the requirements of NFPA 805 and the guidance in NEI 04-02 and RG 1.205. The implementation items consist of:
- Revisions to the fire fighting strategies to identify potential cross-contamination issues for each applicable fire area and fire detection zone.
- Revisions to the fire fighting strategies and fire brigade lesson plans to provide additional instructions on the control of the spread of contamination as a result of fire fighting activities.
- Revisions to the fire fighting strategies to address control of contaminated smoke and water runoff in areas without installed, or with non-functioning, filtered ventilation controls or filtered drainage using a combination of filtered ventilation in adjacent areas, portable filtered ventilation equipment and booms to contain water spread based on input from radiation protection personnel to the fire brigade personnel.
- A combination of containerization and administrative controls will be used to limit the amount of exposed contaminated combustible materials in areas without filtered ventilation or where the spread of contaminated water to adjacent radiologically controlled areas, radiologically clean areas or to the exterior are potential concerns.
- A new fire fighting strategy will be prepared to provide instructions for fighting fires in the Maintenance Storage Shed / Containment Access Facility, which is a newly-designated fire area with contaminated material stored in sea-land containers. Refer to Section 4.4, Radiological Release Performance Criteria, and Attachment S for details.

Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment F - Fire-Induced MSOs Resolution PINGP Page F-1 F. Fire-Induced Multiple Spurious Operations Resolution 6 Pages Attached Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment F - Fire-Induced MSOs Resolution PINGP Page F-2 MSO Process Summary The following provides the guidance from FAQ 07-0038, Revision 3, along with the process and results. Step 1 - Identify potential MSOs of concern Information sources that may be used as input include:
- Post-fire safe shutdown analysis (NEI 00-01, Revision 1, Chapter 3).
- Generic lists of Multiple Spurious Operations (MSOs, e.g., from Owners Groups and/or later versions of NEI 00-01, if endorsed by NRC for use in assessing MSOs).
- Self assessment results (e.g., NEI 04-06 assessments performed to address RIS 2004-03).
- PRA insights (e.g., NEI 00-01 Revision 1, Appendix F).
- Operating Experience (e.g., licensee event reports, NRC Inspection Findings, etc.). Results of Step 1: The Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP) MSO identification process was performed as two complementary tasks. First, a systematic review of plant P&IDs was performed to identify potential spurious operation combinations that could impact the function of needed mitigating systems. Second, an Expert Panel was convened to consider potential MSOs from a number of generic and plant specific sources. The sources of information used as inputs for this process are listed below.
- Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) Generic MSO List, Rev. 1, May 2009, contained in Appendix G of NEI 00-01, Rev. 2, May 2009.
- PINGP Safe Shutdown Analysis, GEN-PI-026.
- PINGP Internal Events PRA Model Revision 3.1.
- System P&IDs and Electrical Drawings.
- PINGP training material for relevant systems. Step 2 - Conduct an expert panel to assess plant specific vulnerabilities (e.g., per NEI 00-01, Rev. 1 Section F.4.2). The expert panel should focus on system and component interactions that could impact nuclear safety. This information will be used in later tasks to identify cables and potential locations where vulnerabilities could exist. The documentation of the results of the expert panel should include how the expert panel was conducted including the members of the expert panel, their experience, education, and areas of expertise. The documentation should include the list of MSOs reviewed as well as the source for each MSO. This documentation should provide a list of the MSOs that were included in the PRA and a separate list of MSOs that were not kept for further analysis (and the reasons for rejecting these MSOs for further analysis).
Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment F - Fire-Induced MSOs Resolution PINGP Page F-3 Describe the expert panel process (e.g., when it was held, what training was provided to the panel members, what analyses were reviewed to identify MSOs, how was consensus achieved on which MSOs to keep and any dispute resolution process criteria used in decision process, etc.). [Note: The physical location of the cables of concern (e.g., fire zone/area routing of the identified MSO cables), if known, may be used at this step in the process to focus the scope of the detailed review in further steps]. Results of Step 2: An MSO Expert Panel was conducted at the PINGP site in December of 2009. The purpose of the Expert Panel was to review the applicable industry developed Generic Owner's Group List of MSOs for applicability to PINGP. The Expert Panel commented on whether or not applicable MSOs were accounted for in the plant PRA and Safe Shutdown Analyses. A training session for the panel members was conducted prior to starting the actual assessment. The results of the MSO Expert Panel were documented in EPM Report 2117-3104-001, "Multiple Spurious Operations Review." The report also includes:
- The presentation that was used as the training materials.
- The areas of expertise for each of the MSO Expert Panel participants.
- A list of the generic MSOs that were reviewed. In addition to the Expert Panel meeting, a systematic review of system drawings was performed to identify single and multiple spurious operations of components that are potentially harmful to the mitigation of fire events. The purpose of this review was to identify relevant combinations of fire induced single spurious operations (SSOs) and MSOs of equipment which could result in a functional failure leading to an increase in core damage frequency or large early release frequency, and ensure they are evaluated within the context of the PINGP Fire PRA. The systematic review scope included all mechanical systems, including water, oil and air, but specifically excluded electrical systems. Spurious operations of electrical systems (i.e., spurious breaker operation) are already evaluated directly in the PRA and are considered, at least in part, in the PWR Owners Group's Generic MSO List. The output from this review includes the following:
- A summary of the systematic review of systems for spurious operations combinations potentially affecting the function of mitigating systems.
- A listing of the resulting SSO and MSO combinations identified. EPM Report 2117-3104-001 documents the methodology used for this systematic review and the resulting SSO and MSO combinations. Step 3 - Update the Fire PRA model and NSCA to include the MSOs of concern.
This includes the:
- Identification of equipment (NUREG/CR-6850 Task 2).
- Identification of cables that, if damaged by fire, could result in the spurious operation (NUREG/CR-6850 Task 3, Task 9).
Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment F - Fire-Induced MSOs Resolution PINGP Page F-4
- Identification of the routing of cables identified above, including associating that routing with fire areas, fire zones and/or Fire PRA physical analysis units, as applicable. Include the equipment/cables of concern in the Nuclear Safety Capability Assessment (NSCA). Including the equipment and cable information in the NSCA does not necessarily imply that the interaction is possible since separation/protection may exist throughout the plant fire areas such that the interaction is not possible). Note: Instances may exist where conditions associated with MSOs do not require update of the Fire PRA and NSCA analysis. For example, Fire PRA analysis in NUREG/CR-6850 Task 2, Component Selection, may determine that the particular interaction may not lead to core damage, or pre-existing equipment and cable routing information may determine that the particular MSO interaction is not physically possible.
In other instances, the update of the PRA may not be warranted if the contribution is negligible. The rationale for exclusion of identified MSOs from the Fire PRA and NSCA should be documented and the configuration control mechanisms should be reviewed to provide reasonable confidence that the exclusion basis will remain valid. Results of Step 3: The results of the Expert Panel and systematic review were fed into the PINGP Equipment Selection (ES) task (NUREG/CR-6850 Task 2). This task included components susceptible to single and multiple spurious operations identified in the post-fire safe shutdown analysis as well as those from the expert panel and systematic reviews. Cable selection and circuit analysis (NUREG/CR-6850 Tasks 3 and 9) were then performed for those components that did not already have this performed for the current Safe Shutdown Analysis. Components susceptible to spurious operation that were not already included in the PINGP Fire PRA model were added to the model at either the system level or the top logic level representing the probability of proceeding down various event tree paths (NUREG/CR-6850 Task 5). Probabilities for important SSO basic events were generated in the Circuit Failure Mode Likelihood Analysis (NUREG/CR-6850 Task 10). Probabilities for MSO events due to multiple cable hot shorts are also derived from the Circuit Failure Mode Likelihood Analysis results. The results of the Fire PRA model development including the effects of equipment spurious operations are documented in the following PINGP Fire PRA notebooks:
- FPRA-PI-ES, Equipment Selection Notebook.
- FPRA-PI-CS, Cable Selection and Circuit Analysis Notebook.
- FPRA-PI-CF, Circuit Failure Mode Likelihood Analysis Notebook.
- FPRA-PI-PRM, Fire Induced Risk Model Notebook. The last notebook includes the logic changes made to the Fire PRA model to account for MSO scenarios relevant to fire but not already captured by the Internal Events PRA.
The Fire Induced Risk Model along with the outputs from the cable selection and circuit failure likelihood analyses were then used to evaluate the impact of fire scenarios in individual Fire Areas and Fire Compartments to support the NSCA. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment F - Fire-Induced MSOs Resolution PINGP Page F-5 Additional Fire PRA model refinements are also documented in Technical Evaluation Reports. The additional Technical Evaluation Reports relevant to spurious operations include:

Step 4 - Evaluate for NFPA 805 Compliance The MSO combinations included in the NSCA should be evaluated with respect to compliance with the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, as discussed in Section 4.2.3 of NFPA 805. For those situations in which the MSO combination does not meet the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805 and therefore represents a variance from deterministic requirements (VFDR), the issue with the components and associated cables should be mitigated by other means (e.g., performance-based approach per Section 4.2.4 of NFPA 805, plant modification, etc.). The performance-based approach may include the use of feasible and reliable recovery actions. The use of recovery actions to demonstrate the availability of a success path for the nuclear safety performance criteria requires that the additional risk presented by the use of these recovery actions be evaluated (NFPA 805 Section 4.2.4). Results of Step 4: The PINGP PRA quantified the fire-induced risk model containing the MSO failure modes. The quantification addressed the specific electrical cables and the failure mode in each fire area and fire zone that was quantified. Thus, the MSO contribution is included in the fire PRA results, and in the fire PRA results associated with evaluation of VFDRs as documented in applicable fire risk evaluations. The MSO combinations of components of concern were also evaluated as part of the PINGP NSCA. As part of the review of current fire area safe shutdown strategies, components with a potential for a spurious operation were reviewed. During this review process, the systems were reviewed to determine the overall impact. The methodology used in the review process is detailed in Engineering Change Evaluation EC 20758, "PINGP NSPC Strategy Reviews." For cases where the MSO combination of components did not meet the requirements for deterministic compliance, the MSO combination of components were identified as VFDRs and added to the scope of the fire risk evaluations.
Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment F - Fire-Induced MSOs Resolution PINGP Page F-6 The process and results associated with the performance of fire risk evaluations are summarized in Section 4.5 of the Transition Report. Step 5 - Document Results The results of the process should be documented. The results should provide a detailed description of the MSO identification, analysis, disposition, and evaluation results (e.g., references used to identify MSOs; the composition of the expert panel, the expert panel process, and the results of the expert panel process; disposition and evaluation results for each MSO, etc.). The high level methodology utilized as part of the transition process should be included in the 10 CFR 50.48(c) License Amendment Request/Transition Report. Results of Step 5: The PINGP MSO methodology and results are documented in the following:

As part of Step 4 of the process outlined above, MSO combinations were reviewed for their impact on deterministic compliance (i.e., fire area reviews to determine if a fire scenario could result in the potential MSO combinations). During this process, VFDRs were identified where the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805 Section 4.2.3 were not met. These VFDRs were addressed by demonstrating compliance with the performance-based approach of Section 4.2.4 of NFPA 805 (See Section 4.5 and Attachment C).
Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment F - Fire-Induced MSOs Resolution PINGP Page F-7 Note that the spurious operations reviewed as part of the process included components that were part of the original PINGP 10 CFR 50 Appendix R post-fire safe shutdown analysis, as well as components and interactions that were added following a plant-specific review of functional failures and evolved industry issues. No specific distinction is made in the program documentation whether the interaction is related to an SSO or MSO since the risk-informed approach using the Fire PRA provides an integrated plant response model. Spurious operations, both single and multiple, have an impact on the overall fire risk and are included in the fire PRA model. Fire-induced spurious operations generating a control signal can lead to initiating events (e.g., Pressurizer PORV(s) transferring open) and can also affect mitigation of initiators such as AFW supplying the steam generators or Steam Generator PORV operation used for relieving pressure. Given the potential significance of fire-induced MSOs, an Expert Panel and systematic reviews were held to search for and identify MSO failures not already captured by the Internal Events PRA model. Logic modifications were made when building the Fire PRA to incorporate several fire-induced MSO-related failures not already captured by the Internal Events model. Fire-induced MSOs are included in the fire PRA model, and their associated risk is included in the quantification of each fire scenario, the total plant fire risk, and evaluation of each VFDR. The VFDRs are identified in Attachment C and a summary of the Fire PRA results is provided in Attachment W.
Northern States Power Company Attachment G - Recovery Action Transition PINGP Page G-1 G. Recovery Actions Transition 40 Pages Attached Northern States Power Company Attachment G - Recovery Action Transition PINGP Page G-2 In accordance with the guidance provided in NEI 04-02, FAQ 07-0030, Revision 5, and RG 1.205, the following methodology was used to determine recovery actions required for compliance (i.e., determining the population of post-transition recovery actions). The methodology consisted of the following steps: Step 1: Define the primary control station(s) and determine which pre-transition Operator Manual Actions (OMAs) are taken at primary control station(s) (Activities that occur in the Main Control Room are not considered pre-transition OMAs). Activities that take place at primary control station(s) or in the Main Control Room are not recovery actions, by definition. Step 2: Determine the population of recovery actions that are required to resolve VFDRs (to meet the risk acceptance criteria or maintain a sufficient level of defense-in-depth). Step 3: Evaluate the additional risk presented by the use of recovery actions required to demonstrate the availability of a success path. Step 4: Evaluate the feasibility of the recovery actions. Step 5: Evaluate the reliability of the recovery actions. An overview of these steps and the results of their implementation are provided below. Step 1 - Clearly define the primary control station(s) and determine which pre-transition OMAs are taken at primary control station(s) The first task in the process of determining the post-transition population of recovery actions was to apply the NFPA 805 definition of recovery action and the RG 1.205 definition of primary control station to determine those activities that are taken at primary control station(s). Results of Step 1: Based on the definition provided in RG 1.205, and the additional guidance provided in FAQ 07-0030, the following location is considered the primary control station, with associated enabling, control, and indication functions as identified:

Modifications to Hot Shutdown Panel A to reduce risk for fire Areas 31 and 32 may result in additional actions taken at the panel. (See Attachment S). Table G Recovery Actions and Activities Occurring at the Primary Control Station(s) identifies the activities that occur at the primary control station(s). Activities necessary to enable the primary control station(s) are also identified in Table G-1 as primary control station(s) activities. These activities do not require the treatment of additional risk. Step 2 - Determine the population of recovery actions that are required to resolve VFDRs (to meet the risk or defense-in-depth criteria) On a fire area basis all VFDRs were identified in the NEI 04-02, Table B-3 (See Attachment C). Each VFDR not brought into compliance with the deterministic approach was evaluated using the performance-based approach of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.4. The performance-based evaluations resulted in the need for recovery actions to meet the risk acceptance criteria or maintain a sufficient level of defense-in-depth). Results of Step 2: The final set of recovery actions are provided in Table G Recovery Actions and Activities Occurring at the Primary Control Station. Modifications to Hot Shutdown Panel A to reduce risk for fire Areas 31 and 32 may result in additional actions taken at the panel. (See Attachment S) Step 3: Evaluate the Additional Risk of the Use of Recovery Actions NFPA 805 Section 4.2.3.1 does not allow recovery actions when using the deterministic approach to meet the nuclear safety performance criteria. However, the use of recovery actions is allowed by NFPA 805 using a risk informed, performance-based approach, Northern States Power Company Attachment G - Recovery Action Transition PINGP Page G-4 provided that the additional risk presented by the recovery actions is evaluated in accordance with NFPA 805 Section 4.2.4. Results of Step 3:
The set of recovery actions that are necessary to demonstrate the availability of a success path for the nuclear safety performance criteria (See Table G-1) were evaluated for additional risk using the process described in NEI 04-02, FAQ 07-0030, Revision 5, and RG 1.205 and compared against the guidelines of RG 1.174 and RG 1.205. The additional risk is provided in Attachment W. All of the recovery actions were reviewed for adverse impact and dispositioned in fire area-specific Fire Risk Evaluation engineering evaluations. None of the recovery actions were found to have an adverse impact on the Fire PRA. Step 4: Evaluate the Feasibility of Recovery Actions Recovery actions were evaluated against the feasibility criteria provided in the NEI 04-02, FAQ 07-0030, Revision 5, and RG 1.205. Note that since actions taken at the primary control station are not recovery actions their feasibility is evaluated in accordance with procedures for validation of off normal procedures. Results of Step 4: Each of the feasibility criteria in FAQ 07-0030 were assessed for the recovery actions listed in Table G-1. The results of the assessment are included in Calculation GEN-PI-055 Rev. 1, "10CFR50 Appendix R Manual Action Feasibility Study." This calculation contains the required time constraints in which to perform the recovery actions. Implementation items resulting from the feasibility evaluation include: Development/revision of procedures. Revisions to the Training Program to reflect procedure changes. Revision to the drill development procedure. These items are included in Table S-3. Step 5: Evaluate the Reliability of Recovery Actions The evaluation of the reliability of recovery actions depends upon its characterization. The reliability of recovery actions that were modeled specifically in the Fire PRA were addressed using Fire PRA methods (i.e., HRA). The reliability of recovery actions not modeled specifically in the Fire PRA is bounded by the treatment of additional risk associated with the applicable VFDR. In calculating the additional risk of the VFDR, the compliant case recovers the fire-induced failure(s) as if the variant condition no longer exists. The resulting delta risk between the variant and compliant condition bounds any additional risk for the recovery action even if that recovery action were modeled. Results of Step 5: The reliability of recovery actions that are being modeled specifically in the Fire PRA has been addressed using Fire PRA methods as documented in PINGP Calculation Northern States Power Company Attachment G - Recovery Action Transition PINGP Page G-5 FPRA-PI-FHRA, "Fire Human Reliability Analysis." Bounding reliability results are documented in Attachment W. PINGP procedures F5 Appendix B, "Control Room Evacuation," and F5 Appendix D, "Impact of Fire Outside Control/Relay Room" will be updated to incorporate credited Recovery Actions.

Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment K - Existing Licensing Action Transition PINGP Page K-17 Licensing Action: Appendix R Exemption, Unit 1 and Unit 2 Containments, Intervening combustibles between redundant shutdown divisions, Fire Areas 1 and 71 Basis Date: July 31, 1984 Transitioned? No Licensing Basis: This exemption was requested in a January 23, 1984 NSP submittal to the NRC based on the lack of 20 feet horizontal separation between cables and equipment of redundant trains with no intervening combustibles, as required by Section III.G.2(d) of Appendix R. With one exception as described in the submittal, these areas have the required spatial separation between redundant components needed for safe shutdown, but there are intervening combustibles.
This exemption was approved by NRC in a letter dated July 31, 1984 with the following justification: 1. All redundant components are separated by 20 feet or more, except for the pressurizer level transmitters for Unit 2. As will be discussed later, this exception actually applies to both Units 1 and 2. 2. Redundant cabling associated with the pressurizer level transmitters is separated by 10 feet and one division will be protected with a one-hour fire barrier. As will be discussed later, the protection of this cabling is different for Units 1 and 2. 3. Combustibles in these fire areas are RCP lubricating oil and cable insulation. The amount of cable insulation, if consumed, would correspond to a fire severity of 7.5 minutes in Unit 1 and 7.7 minutes in Unit 2. 4. Ionization smoke detectors are located on each level with alarms in the Control Room. 5. Standpipe hose stations are located on each level. 6. Access is restricted during power operation due to high radiation fields. 7. RCP lubricating oil would drain to the sump (approved exemption from Section III.O). 8. The cable is IEEE-383 qualified.
- 9. Hazardous quantities of transient combustible materials are not expected due to access restrictions in containment during power operation. 10. Administrative controls during use of transient combustibles require a dedicated fire watch armed with a fire extinguisher.
During the review of this exemption, it was discovered that the protection of cabling for the pressurizer level transmitters is different for Units 1 and 2, as follows:
- NSP letter dated April 5, 1984 identified the lack of 20' separation for this cabling and stated that cables of one division would be wrapped in an approved one hour barrier for both Units 1 and 2.
- The NRC SER dated July 31, 1984 approved the exemption request and cited NSP actions to protect cabling of one division in a one-hour barrier, but this SER only identified this action for Unit 2.
- NSP installed a one-hour barrier in Unit 2 in accordance with the SER.
Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment K - Existing Licensing Action Transition PINGP Page K-18
- During a subsequent review in 1997 NSP recognized that protection of the pressurizer level transmitter cabling was required in Unit 1 and installed a noncombustible radiant energy shield. The previously unprotected condition of this cabling and the installation of a noncombustible radiant energy shield was described in LER 1-97-017, "Separation of Pressurizer level Indication Channels Not in Compliance with 10 CFR 50 Appendix R Section III.G.2," submitted to the NRC on January 2, 1998.
- PINGP LER 1-97-017 was reviewed by the NRC in Inspection Report 50-28250-306-97023 dated January 30, 1998, and was closed in NRC Inspection Report 50-282/50-306-98016 dated October 9, 1998.
- The existing radiant energy shield in Unit 1 has been determined to be acceptable in accordance with the NFPA 805 performance based approach. This exemption is no longer required for the PINGP NFPA 805 Fire Protection Program. The NFPA 805 transition compliance strategy for these Fire Areas uses a performance based approach in accordance with Section 4.2.4. Although the installation of fire barriers differs from that described in NSP's exemption request, the pressurizer level transmitter cable protection features for both Unit 1 and Unit 2 were determined to be acceptable in accordance with the NFPA 805 performance based approach and this exemption is no longer required. This exemption will not be transitioned into the NFPA 805 licensing basis.

"The licensee requested an exemption from Subsection III.G.2 to the extent that these areas have intervening combustibles between components of redundant trains needed for safe shutdown. In addition, except for the redundant cabling associated with the pressurizer level transmitters for unit 2 (Fire Area 71), all other redundant components are separated by twenty feet or more. The redundant cabling associated with the pressurizer level transmitters is separated by ten feet. For this cabling the licensee has Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment K - Existing Licensing Action Transition PINGP Page K-19 committed to protecting one division with a one-hour fire barrier." [Note: as discussed in the Licensing Basis discussion above, the SER only identifies pressurizer level transmitters in Unit 2, although the NSP submittal identified that this exemption applies to both Units 1 and 2] Associated EEEEs: None Evaluation: The NFPA 805 transition compliance strategy for this Fire Area uses a performance based approach and this exemption is no longer required under the new licensing basis. Also, the installation of fire barriers to protect cables for one of the redundant divisions of the pressurizer level transmitters has been evaluated using the performance based approach and, while the installations are different for Unit 1 and Unit 2, both installations have been determined to be acceptable. This exemption will not be transitioned.
Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment K - Existing Licensing Action Transition PINGP Page K-20 Licensing Action: Appendix R Exemption, RCP Oil Collection, RCP oil collection system is not in strict compliance (III.O criteria), Fire Areas 1, 71 Basis Date: July 31, 1984 Transitioned? Yes Licensing Basis: This exemption was requested in an April 5, 1984 NSP submittal to the NRC for the lack of a closed vented container inside containment capable of holding the entire inventory of the Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) lube oil collection system, as required by Section III.O of Appendix R. This exemption was approved by NRC in a letter dated July 31, 1984, with the following justification: 1. The sump is a concrete pit in the basement of containment with a capacity of 990 gallons, which is more than the capacity needed to contain the total inventory of lube oil for the two RCPs for each unit. 2. There is no safe shutdown equipment in the area surrounding the RCPs or Sump A. 3. The sump is designed to automatically pump down at a prescribed sump level and an alarm will sound in the control room if this level is exceeded. 4. The sump can also manually be pumped down at any time.
- 5. The sump is normally drained to vented containers in the auxiliary building which have a total capacity of 2600 gallons. This system is designed to collect contaminated water from pump seal leakage as well as oil leakage. 6. The pipe from the sump to the vented container in the auxiliary building has been designed to seismic category III which meets the requirement of Regulatory Guide 1.29, paragraph C-2.
The bases for this exemption, as approved by the NRC, reflect the current plant configuration and remain valid. This exemption will be transitioned into the NFPA 805 licensing basis. Applicable Fire Area: 1, 71, Containment, Units 1 and 2 Initial Exemption Request: April 5, 1984, Information in Support of Exemption Requests Submitted January 23, 1984 and Request for Exemption from the Requirements of Section III.O of Appendix R to 10 CFR Part 50 NSP described the RCP lube oil collection system and requested exemption from the specific requirement of Section III.O to have a closed vented container inside containment. NSP stated its belief that the existing collection system meets the intent of Appendix R, as previously described in a letter dated January 23, 1984, in that all lube oil is collected to a common point which will prevent its contact with hot piping in the area and is isolated from electrical power cable which might cause ignition. NSP provided the following justification for this exemption: 1. The lube oil collection system is seismically designed.
- 2. High flash point Mobile Synthetic lube oil is being utilized.
- 3. There is no safety related equipment in the vicinity of the RCP or Sump A inside containment. 4. Safe shutdown equipment and cabling is separated from the RCPs and Sump A by the shield wall and 18" thick concrete floors.
Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment K - Existing Licensing Action Transition PINGP Page K-21 5. During design and installation (1978) of the collection system a decision was made to not install a vented closed collection tank inside containment because the collection system also collects RCP water seal leakage, and it was determined that it would be better to deliver all leakage from both sources directly to the sump, where it would then be pumped to a vented closed tank. This letter also provided the following description of the collection system: PINGP Units 1 and, 2 have two Reactor Coolant Pumps each. For purposes of this description the units are identical. Each Reactor Coolant Pump contains 265 gallons of lube oil for a total of 530 gallons per unit. The lube oil is Mobile Synthetic lube oil which has a flash point of 480°F and an ignition point of 520°F. A series of drip pans and deflectors are located around the pump such that leakage from all potential pressurized and unpressurized leakage sites in the Reactor Coolant Pump lube oil systems are collected and piped to the adjacent floor drain which empties into Sump A in the basement of the containment. Sump A is a concrete open pit, covered with grating, built into the floor which has a capacity of 990 gallons. There is no Safe Shutdown Equipment in the area surrounding the Reactor Coolant Pumps or Sump A. Sump A is designed to automatically pump down when the level of the tank reaches the 695©-9" elevation. (The bottom of" the sump is at 693© -6".) This is at approximately the 555 gallon point. If level continued to rise due to failure of the automatic pump function, an alarm would sound in the Control room at the 696©-9" level of the sump, approximately 800 gallons. An operator can then initiate manual control of the sump pump for pumping down. The top of the sump pit is at floor level, the 697 ©-6" elevation which represents the 990 gallon maximum capacity point of the sump. In addition to the automatic function, operators may at any level manually control the pump to pump down the sump. The sump is normally lined up to pump to the aerated sump tank in the Auxiliary Building which has a capacity of 600 gallons.
The aerated sump tank is a vented closed tank. The aerated sump tank then pumps to the aerated drain tanks in the Auxiliary Building. Each aerated drain tank has a capacity of 1000 gallons for a total capacity of 2000 gallons. The aerated sump tank and drain tanks serve both units. The aerated drain tanks are vented closed tanks. The capability also exists to pump from the aerated sump tank to the 25,000 gallon waste hold-up tank which is also a vented closed tank. Exemption Correspondence: January 23, 1984, NSP letter, Exemption Requests to the Requirements of Appendix R to 10 CFR 50. This letter described the RCP lube oil collection and stated its understanding that the collection system meets the intent and is in compliance with Section III.O of Appendix R to 10 CFR 50. May 22, 1984 NSP letter, Information in Support of the Request for Exemption from the Requirement of Section III.O of Appendix R to 10 CFR 50 dated April 5, 1984 This letter described that piping from the sump to the vented container in the auxiliary building is designed to either Seismic Category III or Category I.
Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment K - Existing Licensing Action Transition PINGP Page K-22 Exemption SER: NRC Exemption, July 31, 1984 In the exemption attachment to the approval letter the NRC states: "The licensee requested an exemption from Subsection III.O to the extent that the reactor coolant pump lube oil collection system is piped to the sump inside containment. The contents of the sump can be pumped to a closed vented container located in the auxiliary building. The licensee states that the sump in the basement of the containment is a concrete pit having a capacity of 990 gallons, which is more than the capacity needed to contain the total inventory of lube oil for the two reactor coolant pumps for each unit. There is no safe shutdown equipment in the area. The sump is designed to automatically pump down at a prescribed sump level and an alarm will sound in the control room if this level is exceeded. The operator can initiate manual control of the sump pump at any time, overriding the automatic control of sump level. The sump is normally drained to vented containers in the auxiliary building having a total capacity of 2600 gallons. The basis for the design of this collection system is to collect any contaminated water from the pump seal leakage as well as any oil leakage.
In addition, the pipe from the sump to the vented container in the auxiliary building has been designed to seismic category Class III which meets the requirement of Regulatory Guide 1.29, paragraph C-2. If failure of this pipe were to occur during a seismic event, the functions of plant features described in paragraph 1 (a through q) of Regulatory Guide 1.29 will not be affected and the plant can be brought to cold shutdown. This is based on a review conducted by the licensee and confirmed by letter dated May 22, 1984.
We agree with the licensee that, although lube oil leakage is collected in the sump before it is pumped to a vented container, the sump design at this plant assures us that oil collected there will not lead to fire during normal or design basis accident conditions. The capacity of the sump and the vented containers is adequate to safely contain any anticipated lube oil leakage and the existing controls provide reasonable assurance that any lube oil collected in the sump can be safely pumped to the vented container in the auxiliary building. Based on our evaluation, the existing lube oil collection system for reactor coolant pumps provides a level of protection equivalent to the requirements specified in Subsection III.O of Appendix R. Therefore, the exemption from the requirements specified in Subsection III.O for the lube oil collection system is granted." Associated EEEEs: None Evaluation: The bases for this exemption remain valid. This exemption will be transitioned and will be included in the new licensing basis.
Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment K - Existing Licensing Action Transition PINGP Page K-23 Licensing Action: Appendix R Exemption, Control Room, Use of repair to remove fuses (III.G.1 criteria), Fire Area 13 Basis Date: February 21, 1995 Transitioned? Yes Licensing Basis: This exemption was requested in a May 2, 1994 NSP submittal to the NRC to allow manual removal of fuses from the power-operated relief valve (PORV) control circuit in the event of a fire (considered a repair action outside the bounds of Section III.G.1), in lieu of modifying plant hardware which would otherwise be required to achieve compliance with Section III.G.1 of Appendix R. The NRC approved this exemption in a letter dated February 21, 1995 and provided the following justification: 1. Closing the block valves and pulling the PORV control circuit fuses is an effective means of preventing potential loss of RCS inventory in the event of a control room fire that could result in a hot short or short to ground that may cause the PORV to open or be maintained open. 2. The requirement to remove/pull the PORV fuses is included in plant procedures as an immediate action in response to a control room evacuation. 3. The fuse panels are readily accessible and the fuses are clearly identified in the panels. 4. Sufficient space is available to permit access for pulling fuses and emergency lights and fuse pullers are provided in the vicinity of each panel. 5. The operators are trained for a control room evacuation and to remove these fuses. Action to isolate power to the PORV control circuits in the event of a fire is still a required action and this exemption will be transitioned into the NFPA 805 licensing basis. Subsequent to the approval of this exemption, a modification was installed to allow power to be isolated from the PORV control circuits by opening disconnect switches in lieu of pulling fuses. The basis for the continued applicability of this exemption is clarified in Attachment T. Applicable Fire Area: 13, Control Room Initial Exemption Request: May 2, 1994 NSP letter, Exemption Request, Use of Hot Shutdown Repair to Meet the Requirements of Appendix R NSP requested an exemption from the specific criteria in Section III.G.1 of Appendix R to allow removal of the fuses in the PORV control circuit as a means of ensuring that proper RCS inventory is maintained in the event of a fire that causes an open PORV resulting in the loss of RCS inventory. The following justification is provided: 1. Three separate failures are required to cause this event: - The operator fails to shut the PORV Block valve and/or a material failure occurs (i.e., a short prevents the valve from closing or causes the valve to open). - A "hot short" in the control circuitry causes the PORV to open. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment K - Existing Licensing Action Transition PINGP Page K-24 - The PORV circuit failure is sustained long enough for "the open PORV to jeopardize plant safety. 2. A Probabilistic Risk Assessment demonstrated that the event of a PORV hot short due to a control room fire represents a small contribution to overall risk of core damage. 3. Operator actions required to manually remove the fuses in the PORV control circuit are straightforward and are included in plant procedures and training. Exemption Correspondence: None Exemption SER: February 21, 1995, NRC Exemption In the exemption attached to the approval letter the NRC states: "By letter dated May 2, 1994, the licensee requested an exemption to permit it to manually remove fuses from the power-operated relief valve control circuit in the event of a fire, in lieu of modifying plant hardware which would otherwise be required to achieve compliance with Section III.G.1 of Appendix R. The licensee©s submittal initially referenced Section III.G.2 of Appendix R as providing the requirements from which the licensee was seeking an exemption, but in a follow-up telephone conversation with the staff the licensee concurred that Section III.G.1 is the appropriate reference.
This exemption was requested by the licensee in response to inspection findings identified in inspection reports 50-282/87-004, 50-282/88-013, 50-282/92-011 and 50-282/94-004. These findings addressed a concern with circuit failure modes that could adversely affect the ability to maintain hot shutdown in the event of a control room fire. This condition could occur if the power operated relief valves (PORV) block valves were not shut and a hot short damaged the PORV control circuit causing the PORV to open and remain open. Specifically, this involves the high/low pressure interface spurious signal concerns associated with Unit 1 PORVs CV-31231 and CV-31232 and their associated block valves MOV-32195 and MOV-32196 and with Unit 2 PORVs CV-31233 and CV-31234 and their associated block valves, MOV-32197 and MOV-32198. As a precaution to prevent the potential loss of reactor coolant system (RCS) inventory during a control room fire, the licensee has proposed to close the PORV block valves prior to control room evacuation. The licensee also proposed to remove the PORV control circuit fuses to prevent a hot short or short to ground which may cause the PORV to open or be maintained open. As stated above, removal of fuses for isolation in such circumstances is considered a repair and, therefore, does not meet Appendix R, Section III.G.1, as interpreted by the staff. The licensee©s proposed actions of closing the PORV block valves and removing the control circuit fuses was reviewed by the staff and was found to be an effective means of assuring that a control room fire will not result in a sustained loss of RCS inventory. The substance of the licensee©s submittal was reviewed by Region III inspectors during the inspection conducted from July 18-22, 1988. The inspection findings were documented in NRC Inspection Report No. 50-282/88-013 and 50-306/88-013. The inspectors walked down the control room evacuation shutdown procedures. Step 3.3.1 of Procedure F5, Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment K - Existing Licensing Action Transition PINGP Page K-25 Appendix B, "Control Room Evacuation (Fire)," directs the operators to remove/pull the fuses for the PORVs as an immediate action in response to a control room evacuation. The inspectors found that the fuse panels were readily accessible and the fuses were clearly identified in the panels. The inspectors also found that sufficient space is available to permit access for pulling fuses and that emergency lights and the fuse pullers had been provided in the vicinity of each panel. A training program has been established for all plant operators to enhance the familiarity with and proper response to the control room evacuation. Additionally, as a part of Emergency Operating Procedures (EOP) training, all the operators are trained on the above-mentioned procedures to ensure their familiarity with respect to the removal of fuses during hot shutdown. Therefore, operators are trained and experienced in removing the fuses.
On the basis of this evaluation, the Commission concludes that the proposed action to close the PORV block valves prior to control room evacuation and to remove fuses from the PORV control circuit provides reasonable assurance that safe shutdown can be achieved in the event of a control room fire and is acceptable." Associated EEEEs: None Evaluation: The bases for this exemption remain valid. This exemption will be transitioned and will be included in the new licensing basis, subject to clarification in Attachment T. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment L NFPA 805 Chapter 3 Requirements for Approval PINGP Page L-1 L. NFPA 805 Chapter 3 Requirements for Approval (10 CFR 50.48(c)(2)(vii)) 3 Pages Attached Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment L NFPA 805 Chapter 3 Requirements for Approval PINGP Page L-2 Approval Request 1 NFPA 805 Section 3.5.16 NFPA 805 Section 3.5.16 states: "The fire protection water supply system shall be dedicated for fire protection use only. Exception No. 1: Fire protection water supply systems shall be permitted to be used to provide backup to nuclear safety systems, provided the fire protection water supply systems are designed and maintained to deliver the combined fire and nuclear safety flow demands for the duration specified by the applicable analysis. Exception No. 2: Fire protection water storage can be provided by plant systems serving other functions, provided the storage has a dedicated capacity capable of providing the maximum fire protection demand for the specified duration as determined in this section." Basis for Request: NRC approval is being requested since the fire water system can be aligned for screenwash system use and emergency uses, and as such it does not meet the requirement or allowed exceptions. Acceptance Criteria Evaluation: The Mississippi river provides fire protection water. The system consists of two horizontal centrifugal fire pumps each rated at 2,000 gpm at 125 psig. One pump is motor driven (MDFP) and the other pump is diesel driven (DDFP). The 10" fire header is maintained between 108 and 113 psig by a jockey pump. The motor driven fire pump will automatically start at 95 psig. If the header pressure drops to 90 psig, the diesel-driven fire pump will start. The motor and diesel-driven fire pumps are designed to pump 2,000 gpm at a discharge pressure of 125 psi. Contrary to the requirements of NFPA 805 Section 3.5.16, the fire protection water supply system at PINGP may periodically be utilized to supply water for non-fire protection purposes (screenwash). The motor-driven fire pump can be aligned to provide a backup water supply to the Screenhouse screenwash system in the event of a screenwash pump failure. If the fire pump is required to supplement the screenwash header flow, the pump must be started manually either locally or remotely. Control valve FP-30-10 ties the fire protection water system to the screenwash header. FP-30-10 is normally closed and requires a manual action to open it. Once the pump is operating and no auto start signal exists from the fire protection header, the discharge to the screenwash header valve (CV 31131) opens automatically via Solenoid Valve SV 33049 and maintains the screenwash header pressure at approximately 90 psig. The non-fire protection use of the PINGP fire protection water system requires prior notification of the Control Room. This process ensures that the fire water system will be restored to full capacity during a fire scenario. Personnel utilizing fire protection water Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment L NFPA 805 Chapter 3 Requirements for Approval PINGP Page L-3 for non-fire protection purposes are in contact with the Control Room, therefore ensuring the ability to secure the full fire water system capacity should a fire occur. There are two potential impacts to the use of the fire protection water system for screenwash purposes - one is a fire within the Screenhouse Fire Area 41, and one for all other fire areas, as delineated below: For a fire in any fire area except Fire Area 41 The plant P&ID drawing indicates that SV 33049 will only open Control Valve 31131 if the 121 MDFP is not running and the pressure demand on the fire header is not below 90 psi. If there is not a demand on the fire header and the pump is manually started, the control valve will open and allow fire protection water into the Screenwash system to clean the screens. If a demand is placed on the fire header from a suppression system actuation, the pressure drop will cause SV 33049 to close CV 31131 thereby realigning the water flow to the fire protection header. The control cables for SV 33049/CV 31131 run from the MDFP room FA 41B (elev. 670' screenhouse) to FA 41, (elev. 695' screenhouse). A fire event in any fire area other than FA 41 will cause a pressure drop on the fire header thereby closing CV 31131 via SV 33049 and re-aligning the MDFP water supply from the traveling screens to the fire header. For a fire in Fire Area 41 The control cables for SV 33049/CV 31131 run from the MDFP room FA 41B (elev. 670' screenhouse) to FA 41, (elev. 695' screenhouse). A postulated fire in FA 41 may cause cable damage, thereby creating the potential for a hot short of the circuit resulting in CV 31131 failing in the open position. This would divert some fire protection water from the MDFP from entering the fire header. If this scenario occurs, the DDFP will start, providing the fire header with 2,000 gpm at 125 psi. FA 41 suppression system, PA-9, has a demand of 1,094.1 gpm at 89.1 psi. This demand is within the design capacity of the DDFP. Check valve FP-28-2 will prevent water in the fire protection header from entering the Screenwash diversion piping network. The use of the MDFP for Screenwash cleaning will not impact the ability of the fire protection header to deliver the system demand for fire suppression activities in any plant fire area. Nuclear Safety and Radiological Release Performance Criteria: The ability to use the 121 MDFP for the Screenwash function has no impact on the radiological release performance criteria. The radiological release review was performed based on the release of firefighting water potentially containing radioactive materials and is not dependent on the MDFP alignment to supplement the Screenwash function. The ability to use the 121 MDFP for the screenwash function does not change the radiological release evaluation and does not add additional radiological materials to the area or challenge system boundaries. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment L NFPA 805 Chapter 3 Requirements for Approval PINGP Page L-4 Safety Margin and Defense-in-Depth: The ability to use the 121 MDFP for the Screenwash function does not change the safety margin since it has no impact on the ability of the MDFP to supply water to the fire header unless there is a fire in FA 41. If a fire occurs in FA 41, the DDFP will supply the fire header with adequate flow and pressure. The use of the MDFP for Screenwash cleaning will not impact the ability of the fire protection header to deliver the system demand for fire suppression requirements. The three echelons of defense-in-depth are to: 1) prevent fires from starting (combustible/hot work controls), 2) rapidly detect, control and extinguish fires that do occur thereby limiting damage (fire detection systems, automatic fire suppression, manual fire suppression, pre-fire plans), and 3) provide adequate level of fire protection for systems and structures so that a fire will not prevent essential safety functions from being performed (fire barriers, fire rated cable, success path remains free of fire damage, recovery actions). The use of the MDFP for Screenwash cleaning does not affect echelons 1, 2 and 3. The ability to use the 121 motor driven fire pump for the Screenwash function does not directly result in compromising automatic fire suppression functions, manual fire suppression functions, or post-fire safe shutdown capability since water will automatically be re-directed to the fire protection header upon actuation of a fire suppression system or supplied from the DDFP in the event the MDFP is unavailable. Conclusion: Aligning the 121 MDFP to perform the screenwash function and emergency uses does not meet the requirement or allowed exceptions of NFPA 805 Section 3.5.16. The evaluation determined that the performance-based approach utilized to evaluate a variance from the requirements of NFPA 805 Chapter 3: a) Satisfies the performance goals, performance objectives, and performance criteria specified in NFPA 805 related to nuclear safety and radiological release; b) Maintains safety margins; and c) Maintains fire protection defense-in-depth (fire prevention, fire detection, fire suppression, mitigation, and post-fire safe shutdown capability). Therefore, NRC approval is being requested to permit the fire water system to be aligned for the screenwash function and other emergency uses, only when the screenwash pump is out of service.

Except where NRC approval for changes or deviations is required by 10 CFR 50.48(c), and provided no other regulation, technical specification, license condition or requirement would require prior NRC approval, the licensee may make changes to the fire protection program without prior approval of the Commission if those changes satisfy the provisions set forth in 10 CFR 50.48(a) and 10 CFR 50.48(c), the change does not require a change to a technical specification or a license condition, and the criteria listed below are satisfied. Risk-Informed Changes that May Be Made Without Prior NRC Approval A risk assessment of the change must demonstrate that the acceptance criteria below are met. The risk assessment approach, methods, and data shall be acceptable to the NRC and shall be appropriate for the nature and scope of the change being evaluated; be based on the as-built, as-operated, and maintained plant; and reflect the operating experience at the plant. Acceptable methods to assess the risk of the change may include methods that have been used in the peer-reviewed fire PRA model, methods that have been approved by NRC through a plant-specific license amendment or NRC approval of generic methods specifically for use in NFPA 805 risk assessments, or methods that have been demonstrated to bound the risk impact. (a) Prior NRC review and approval is not required for changes that clearly result in a decrease in risk. The proposed change must also be consistent with the defense-in-depth philosophy and must maintain sufficient safety margins. The change may be implemented following completion of the plant change evaluation. (b) Prior NRC review and approval is not required for individual changes that result in a risk increase less than 1x10-7/year (yr) for CDF and less than 1x10-8/yr for LERF. The proposed change must also be consistent with the defense-in-depth philosophy and must maintain sufficient safety margins. The change may be implemented following completion of the plant change evaluation. Other Changes that May Be Made Without Prior NRC Approval (1) Changes to NFPA 805, Chapter 3, Fundamental Fire Protection Program Prior NRC review and approval is not required for changes to the NFPA 805, Chapter 3, fundamental fire protection program elements and design requirements for which an engineering evaluation demonstrates that the alternative to the Chapter 3 element is functionally equivalent or adequate for the hazard. The licensee may use an engineering evaluation to demonstrate that a change to an NFPA 805, Chapter 3, Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment M - License Condition Changes PINGP Page M-3 element is functionally equivalent to the corresponding technical requirement. A qualified fire protection engineer shall perform the engineering evaluation and conclude that the change has not affected the functionality of the NSPM PINGP NFPA 805 Transition Report - Attachment M, Revision 0, Page M-3 component, system, procedure, or physical arrangement, using a relevant technical requirement or standard. The licensee may use an engineering evaluation to demonstrate that changes to certain NFPA 805, Chapter 3, elements are acceptable because the alternative is "adequate for the hazard." Prior NRC review and approval would not be required for alternatives to four specific sections of NFPA 805, Chapter 3, for which an engineering evaluation demonstrates that the alternative to the Chapter 3 element is adequate for the hazard. A qualified fire protection engineer shall perform the engineering evaluation and conclude that the change has not affected the functionality of the component, system, procedure, or physical arrangement, using a relevant technical requirement or standard. The four specific sections of NFPA 805, Chapter 3, are as follows: * "Fire Alarm and Detection Systems" (Section 3.8); * "Automatic and Manual Water-Based Fire Suppression Systems" (Section 3.9); * "Gaseous Fire Suppression Systems" (Section 3.10); and, * "Passive Fire Protection Features" (Section 3.11). (2) Fire Protection Program Changes that Have No More than Minimal Risk Impact Prior NRC review and approval is not required for changes to the licensee's fire protection program that have been demonstrated to have no more than a minimal risk impact. The licensee may use its screening process as approved in the NRC Safety Evaluation Report dated ________ to determine that certain fire protection program changes meet the minimal criterion. The licensee shall ensure that fire protection defense-in-depth and safety margins are maintained when changes are made to the fire protection program. Transition License Conditions (1) Before achieving full compliance with 10 CFR 50.48(c), as specified by (2) below, risk-informed changes to the licensee's fire protection program may not be made without prior NRC review and approval unless the change has been demonstrated to have no more than a minimal risk impact, as described in (2) above. (2) The licensee shall implement the modifications described in Attachment S, Table S-2, of the September 2012 PINGP NFPA 805 LAR and as supplemented by letters dated [date] to complete the transition to full compliance with 10 CFR 50.48(c) before the end of the second full operating cycle for each unit after approval of the LAR. (3) The licensee shall maintain appropriate compensatory measures in place until completion of the modifications delineated above. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment M - License Condition Changes PINGP Page M-4 It is NSPM's understanding that implicit in the replacement of the current license condition, all prior fire protection program SERs and commitments will be superseded in their entirety by the revised license condition.
No other license conditions need to be replaced or revised.
NSPM implemented the following process for determining that these are the only license conditions required to be either revised or superseded to implement the new fire protection program which meets the requirements in 10 CFR 50.48(a) and 50.48(c):
- A review was conducted of the PINGP Unit 1 Renewed License Number DPR-42, through Amendment No. 205 and Unit 2 Renewed License Number DPR-60, through Amendment No. 192. The review was performed by reading the Operating License and performing electronic searches. Outstanding LARs that have been submitted to the NRC were also reviewed for potential impact on the license conditions.

Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment Q - No Significant Hazards Evaluation PINGP Page Q-1 Q. No Significant Hazards Evaluations 4 Pages Attached Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment Q - No Significant Hazards Evaluation PINGP Page Q-2 A written evaluation of the significant hazards consideration of a proposed license amendment is required by 10 CFR 50.92, "Issuance of amendment." As described in 10 CFR 50.92, a proposed amendment to an operating license involves no significant hazards consideration if operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment would not: (1) Involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; or (2) Create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated; or (3) Involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety. Northern States Power - Minnesota (NSPM) has evaluated the proposed amendment and determined that it involves no significant hazards consideration, using the three standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92, as discussed below: 1. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
Response: No.
Operation of the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP) in accordance with the proposed amendment does not increase the probability or consequences of accidents previously evaluated. Engineering analyses, which may include engineering evaluations, probabilistic safety assessments, and fire modeling evaluations, have been performed to demonstrate that the performance-based requirements of National Fire Protection Association Standard 805 (NFPA 805) have been satisfied. The PINGP Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR) documents the analyses of design basis accidents (DBAs) at PINGP. The proposed amendment does not adversely affect accident initiators nor alter design assumptions, conditions, or configurations of the facility that would increase the probability or consequences of accidents previously evaluated. Further, the changes to be made for fire hazard protection and mitigation do not adversely affect the ability of structures, systems, and components (SSCs) to perform their design functions, nor do they affect the postulated initiators or assumed failure modes for accidents described and evaluated in the USAR. SSCs required to safely shut down the reactor and to maintain it in a safe shutdown condition will remain capable of performing their design functions.
The purpose of this proposed amendment is to permit PINGP to adopt a new fire protection licensing basis which complies with the requirements in 10 CFR 50.48(a) and (c) and the guidance in Revision 1 of Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.205. The NRC considers that NFPA 805 provides an acceptable methodology and performance criteria for licensees to identify fire protection systems and features that are an acceptable alternative to the 10 CFR 50, Appendix R fire protection features (69 FR 33536, June 16, 2004). Engineering analyses, in accordance Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment Q - No Significant Hazards Evaluation PINGP Page Q-3 with NFPA 805, have been performed to demonstrate that the risk-informed, performance-based (RI-PB) requirements per NFPA 805 have been met. NFPA 805, taken as a whole, provides an acceptable alternative to 10 CFR 50.48(b), satisfies 10 CFR 50.48(a) and General Design Criterion (GDC) 3 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 50, and meets the underlying intent of the NRC©s existing fire protection regulations and guidance, and provides for defense-in-depth. The goals, performance objectives, and performance criteria specified in Chapter 1 of NFPA 805 ensure that if there are any increases in the net core damage frequency (CDF) or risk associated with this license amendment request (LAR) submittal, the increase will be small and consistent with the Commission©s Safety Goal Policy.
Based on this, the implementation of this amendment does not significantly increase the probability of any accident previously evaluated. Equipment required to mitigate an accident remains capable of performing the assumed function(s). The proposed amendment will not affect the source term, containment isolation, or radiological release assumptions used in evaluating the radiological consequences of any accident previously evaluated. Therefore, the consequences of any accident previously evaluated are not significantly increased with the implementation of the proposed amendment. 2. Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated? Response: No.
Operation of PINGP in accordance with the proposed amendment does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated. Any scenario or previously analyzed accident with offsite dose was included in the evaluation of DBAs documented in the USAR. The proposed change does not alter the requirements or function for systems required during accident conditions. Implementation of the new fire protection licensing basis which complies with the requirements in 10 CFR 50.48(a) and (c) and the guidance in Revision 1 of RG 1.205 will not result in new or different accidents.
The proposed amendment does not introduce new or different accident initiators nor alter design assumptions or conditions of the facility. The proposed amendment does not adversely affect the ability of SSCs to perform their design function. SSCs required to safely shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition remain capable of performing their design functions.
The purpose of this amendment is to permit PINGP to adopt a new fire protection licensing basis which complies with the requirements in 10 CFR 50.48(a) and (c) and the guidance in Revision 1 of RG 1.205. The NRC considers that NFPA 805 Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment Q - No Significant Hazards Evaluation PINGP Page Q-4 provides an acceptable methodology and performance criteria for licensees to identify fire protection systems and features that are an acceptable alternative to the 10 CFR 50, Appendix R fire protection features (69 FR 33536, June 16, 2004). The requirements in NFPA 805 address only fire protection and the impacts of fire on the plant that have already been evaluated. Based on this, the implementation of this amendment does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any kind of accident previously evaluated. The proposed amendment does not introduce any new accident scenarios, transient precursors, failure mechanisms, malfunctions, or limiting single failures that could initiate a new accident. There will be no adverse effect or challenges imposed on a safety related system as a result of this proposed amendment.
Therefore, the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any kind of accident previously evaluated is not created with the implementation of this amendment. 3. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?
Response: No.
Operation of PINGP in accordance with the proposed amendment does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety. The proposed amendment does not alter the manner in which safety limits, limiting safety system settings or limiting conditions for operation are determined. The safety analysis acceptance criteria are not affected by this change. The proposed amendment does not adversely affect existing plant safety margins or the reliability of equipment assumed to mitigate accidents in the USAR. The proposed amendment does not adversely affect the ability of SSCs to perform their design function. SSCs required to safely shut down the reactor and to maintain it in a safe shutdown condition remain capable of performing their design function.
The purpose of this amendment is to permit PINGP to adopt a new fire protection licensing basis which complies with the requirements in 10 CFR 50.48(a) and (c) and the guidance in Revision 1 of RG 1.205. The NRC considers that NFPA 805 provides an acceptable methodology and performance criteria for licensees to identify fire protection systems and features that are an acceptable alternative to the 10 CFR 50, Appendix R fire protection features (69 FR 33536, June 16, 2004). Engineering analyses, which may include engineering evaluations, probabilistic safety assessments, and fire modeling evaluations, have been performed to demonstrate that the performance-based methods do not result in a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment Q - No Significant Hazards Evaluation PINGP Page Q-5 Based on this, the implementation of this amendment does not significantly reduce a margin of safety. The proposed changes are evaluated to ensure that the risk and safety margins are kept within acceptable limits. Therefore, the transition to NFPA 805 does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety. The proposed amendment to transition to NFPA 805 continues to protect public health and safety and the common defense and security because the overall approach of NFPA 805 is consistent with the key principles for evaluating license basis changes, as described in RG 1.174, is consistent with the defense-in-depth philosophy, and maintains sufficient safety margins. Based on the responses to questions 1, 2, and 3 above, NSPM has concluded that the proposed amendment presents no significant hazards consideration in accordance with the requirements in 10 CFR 50.92(c). Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment R -Environmental Considerations PINGP Page R-1 R. Environmental Considerations Evaluation 2 Pages Attached Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment R -Environmental Considerations PINGP Page R-2 NSPM has evaluated this LAR against the criteria for identification of licensing and regulatory actions requiring environmental assessment in accordance with 10 CFR 51.21. NSPM has determined that this LAR meets the criteria for a categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). This determination is based on the fact that this change is being proposed as an amendment to a license issued pursuant to 10 CFR 50.
The purpose of this amendment is to permit the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP) to adopt a new fire protection licensing basis which complies with the requirements in 10 CFR 50.48(a) and (c) and the guidance in Revision 1 of RG 1.205. The NRC considers that NFPA 805 provides an acceptable methodology and performance criteria for licensees to identify fire protection systems and features that are an acceptable alternative to the 10 CFR 50, Appendix R fire protection features (69 FR 33536, June 16, 2004).
The requirements in NFPA 805 address only fire protection and the impacts of fire on the plant have already been evaluated, as part of compliance to 10 CFR 50.48(a) and (b).
This proposed amendment to transition the PINGP Fire Protection Program to NFPA 805 would change requirements with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area, as defined in 10 CFR 20, or would change an inspection or surveillance requirement. However, the proposed amendment meets the following specific criteria: i. The amendment involves no significant hazards consideration. As stated in Section 5.3.1 and Attachment Q, this proposed amendment does not involve a significant hazards consideration. ii. There is no significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluent that may be released offsite. Compliance with NFPA 805 explicitly requires the attainment of performance criteria, objectives, and goals for radioactive releases to the environment. The radioactive release goal is to provide reasonable assurance that a fire will not result in a radiological release that affects the public, plant personnel, or the environment. Transition to the NFPA 805 requirements does not impact effluents. Therefore, there will be no significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluents released offsite. iii. There is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. Compliance with NFPA 805 explicitly requires the attainment of performance criteria, objectives, and goals for occupational exposure. There will be no Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment R -Environmental Considerations PINGP Page R-3 significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure resulting from this change. Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in conjunction with the proposed amendment.

Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment S - Plant Modifications and Items to be Completed PINGP Page S-2 Tables S-1, Plant Modifications Completed, and S-2, Plant Modifications Committed, provided below, include a description of the modifications along with the following information:
- A problem statement,
- Risk ranking of the modification,
- An indication if the modification is currently included in the FPRA,
- Compensatory Measure in place, and
- A risk-informed characterization of the modification and compensatory measure.
- The following legend should be used when reviewing the Risk Rank in Tables S-1 and S-2: o High = Modification would have an appreciable impact on reducing overall fire CDF. o Medium = Modification would have a measurable impact on reducing overall fire CDF. o Low = Modification would have either an insignificant or no impact on reducing overall fire CDF. o N/A = Not modeled in the FPRA, therefore a risk ranking is not provided NSPM is requesting two full operating cycles beyond SE issuance to fully implement modifications. This is, in part, due to the outage strategies implemented at PINGP where only one train is removed from service per outage, per unit. Due to the significant modifications required to transition PINGP to NFPA 805, additional time is necessary to fully implement modifications described in Table S-2. As discussed during the April 2012 pre-submittal meeting, NSPM will implement Code Conformance modifications before the end of the first full operating cycle per unit after SE issuance. Therefore:
NSPM will complete implementation of the modifications described in Table S-2 as follows:
- Before the end of the first full operating cycle per unit after issuance of the NFPA 805 license amendment: Items 8, 9, and 16
- Before the end of the second full operating cycle per unit after issuance of the NFPA 805 license amendment: all remaining items Table S-1 Plant Modifications Completed Item Rank Unit Problem Statement Proposed Modification In FPRA Comp Measure Risk Informed Characterization None Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment S - Plant Modifications and Items to be Completed PINGP Page S-3 Table S-2 Plant Modifications Committed Item Rank Unit Problem Statement Proposed Modification In FPRA Comp Measure Risk Informed Characterization 1 High 1 A fire could damage Train B 12 Motor Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump (MDAFWP) and the control switches for the 11 Turbine Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump (TDAFWP) discharge valves (MV-32242 & MV-32243).

If fire induced cable damage caused multiple spurious operations that caused D1 (034-011) to spuriously start with no cooling water (CV-31055, 11 MDCLP MTR 13-8, 12 DDCLP 145-392, 21 MDCLP MTR 23-4, 22 DDCLP 245-392) then the EDG could be damaged.
A fire that results in evacuation of the control room requires one operator (STA) to go to D1 to verify it is not running without cooling water. Another operator (U1 RO) goes to the screenhouse to locally start the 12 and 22 Diesel Driven Cooling Water Pumps (DDCLP). Both actions are considered Recovery Actions because they are not performed at the emergency control station so the risk of these actions has to be evaluated based on the guidance in NFPA 805 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ-07-0030). Install a local/remote switch in the AFWP room at the emergency control station to eliminate the current required manual action of sending an operator to the D1 Room and Screenhouse. These actions will then become compliant (because DDCLP will be controlled at the Emergency Control Station) and will take significantly less time and would allow the operators to focus on locally restoring the TDAFWP in less time which would also significantly reduce risk.
Install new cable between TB 1750 and Emergency Control Station for 12 DDCLP.

In order to reduce the risk of a fire in FA 18, detailed fire modeling was performed to determine the time it would take for a transient or fixed ignition source fire to damage both divisions of safety related trays due to direct plume impingement or the formation of a hot gas layer. This analysis yielded trays where covering the top and bottom of the tray would support significantly reducing the risk of having to go to alternate shutdown. Provide protection for risk significant cable trays directly over the initiators of critical concern. Yes Yes The proposed modification will reduce risk by enclosing specified cable trays in FA 18.

Attachment G Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment T - Clarification of Prior NRC Approvals PINGP Page T-1 T. Clarification of Prior NRC Approvals 2 Pages Attached Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment T - Clarification of Prior NRC Approvals PINGP Page T-2 Introduction The elements of the pre-transition fire protection program licensing basis for which specific NRC previous approval is uncertain are included in this attachment. Also included is sufficient detail to demonstrate how those elements of the pre-transition fire protection program licensing basis meet the requirements in 10 CFR 50.48(c) (RG 1.205, Revision 1, Regulatory Position 2.2.1). Prior Approval Clarification Request 1 of 1: Operator Action to Isolate Power to PORV Control Circuits Pre-transition Fire Protection Program Licensing Basis: The Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP) pre-transition licensing basis relative to the preclusion of spurious operation of pressurizer power operated relief valve (PORV) flow paths, for fires involving control room evacuation, included a previously approved exemption from the requirements of Section III.G.1 of Appendix R to 10 CFR 50. Specifically, the exemption allowed operators to close the Unit 1 and 2 PORV block valves prior to evacuating the control room, and then taking the follow-on action to remove control power fuses from the PORV control circuits for both units at their respective branch circuit panels. The exemption was required because the removal of fuses involved the use of a fuse-pulling tool, which was considered to be a "repair action." This repair action was interpreted as a non-compliance to Section III.G.1 of Appendix R to 10 CFR 50 which requires, in part, that fire protection features shall be provided for structures, systems, and components important to safe shutdown so that one train of systems necessary to achieve and maintain hot shutdown conditions be free of fire damage. This exemption was approved in a letter dated February 21, 1995. In 1999, PINGP performed a plant modification (99DC03), which included modification of the PORV control power supplies such that disconnect switches could be used in lieu of pulling control power fuses. The feasibility of utilizing the disconnect switches (no tool required) has been validated and has proven to be a beneficial change with respect to this activity. Background/Basis: NSP Exemption Request Letter, dated May 2, 1994 NSP requested an exemption from the requirements of Section III.G.2 of Appendix R to 10 CFR 50, to allow the manual removal of fuses from the PORV control circuits in the event of a fire, in lieu of modifying plant hardware. The reference to III.G.2 was later revised to III.G.1 during a follow-up phone call between NSP and NRR. Issuance of Exemption Letter, dated February 21, 1995 The NRC issued an exemption from certain requirements of Appendix R to 10 CFR Part 50 to allow NSP to remove fuses from the PORV control circuits as a means of ensuring the reactor coolant system inventory in the event of a control room fire. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment T - Clarification of Prior NRC Approvals PINGP Page T-3 PINGP Plant Modification (99DC03) Summary: This modification relocated EQ circuit power supplies from harsh environments to mild environments. This modification repowered the Unit 1 and 2 PORV control circuits, from new distribution panels PNL 171, PNL 181, PNL 271, and PNL 281 respectively, which were, in turn, powered by upstream feeder distribution panels PNL 11, PNL 12, PNL 21, and PNL 22 respectively. An added benefit of this modification is that it allowed the PORV control circuits to be de-energized via disconnect switches in the feeder distribution panels, thus eliminating the need to pull control power fuses for fire events requiring control room evacuation. Request As part of this LAR submittal and transition to NFPA 805, it is requested that the NRC accept the following clarification of a prior NRC approval, with respect to the exemption granted to NSP on February 21, 1995: This operator action (recovery action) to preclude PORV opening remains a required action for PINGP under NFPA 805. The use of recovery actions is not allowed under the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805 Section 4.2.3.1. Clarification is requested to allow the previous exemption for operator actions to be extended to the NFPA 805 program. In addition, clarification is requested to extend the previous allowance to pull fuses to also allow the operation of disconnect switches. Although fuse removal remains an option, the manual operation to open disconnect switches, demonstrated by PINGP to be feasible and reliable, is simpler than pulling fuses and therefore, for the purposes of this request, is requested to be deemed equivalent in intent and function. Clarification is also requested that the term "control room fire", as referred to in the exemption letter, applies to fires occurring in Fire Area 013 (Control Room) and Fire Area 018 (Relay Room). Under the pre-transition (Appendix R) program, both Fire Area 013 and Fire Area 018 were analyzed as one analysis area. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment U - Internal Events PRA Quality PINGP Page U-1 U. Internal Events PRA Quality 17 Pages Attached Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment U - Internal Events PRA Quality PINGP Page U-2 U.1 Internal Events PRA Model The Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP) base internal events PRA, Revision 3.1, was the starting point for the Fire PRA. With the exception of Internal Flooding Events, the PINGP Rev 3.1 Level 1 analysis evaluates core damage frequency (CDF) from all internal initiating events consistent with the most current combined PRA Standard, ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009, and RG 1.200, Revision 2. The PINGP Rev 3.1 PRA evaluates large early release frequency (LERF) utilizing the Westinghouse Owner's Group Simplified Level 2 Analysis Approach, WCAP-16341.
A self-assessment of the PINGP PRA was conducted by NSPM personnel, and an independent peer review was performed of the PRA model, data, and documentation in accordance with the 2009 ASME PRA Standard Capability Category (CC) II requirements. Two Peer Reviews were performed against the internal events PRA model, data, and documentation. The first peer review includes the PINGP at-power/internal events PRA and specifically addressed eight of the nine technical elements plus the configuration control element. The first peer review did not include applicable SRs for the internal flooding hazard. A follow-on peer review was performed to specifically review the internal flooding PRA. For both peer reviews, the peer team met the independence requirement of the 2009 ASME PRA Standard.
U.2 Internal Events PRA Peer Review Results An independent peer review team evaluated the PINGP Rev 3.0 PRA, which did not include the Internal Flooding analysis. The peer team concluded that 256 (>96%) of the total 264 numbered supporting requirements (SRs) outlined within the 2009 ASME PRA Standard fully met the Capability Category II or greater, not including the Internal Flooding SRs. Two of the internal events SRs (AS-B4 and QU-B10) were determined to not be applicable to the PINGP PRA and are not discussed any further. Six of the applicable SRs were rated as CC I, or as "Not Met." LE-C3 and HR-D2 met CC I falling below the CC II threshold while LE-G5, IE-C10, IE-C14, and QU-C2 did not meet the Capability Category requirement criteria. NSPM resolved the 6 SRs that were rated as CC I or as "Not Met," to meet a CC II per the independent peer review team suggestions. Table U-1 contains the 6 SRs that were rated as CC I or as "Not Met," the peer review assessment description, and means by which NSPM resolved these findings.
The independent peer review team identified 65 Facts and Observations which comprised of 22 findings, 41 suggestions, and 2 best practices. Table U-1 describes the 22 findings including the peer review team's assessment comments and the PINGP resolutions. The Findings/Observations in Table U-1 are provided from the final PRA peer review report with minor editorial corrections. The internal events peer review report is documented in LTR-RAM-II-11-005, RG 1.200 PRA Peer Review Against the ASME PRA Standard Requirements for the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant Units 1 and 2 Probabilistic Risk Assessment, Final Deliverable, March 2, 2011, and is available upon request.

The peer review was performed in September 2012 and concluded that 61 (98%) of the total 62 numbered supporting requirements (SRs) outlined within the 2009 ASME PRA Standard for At-Power Internal Flooding met Capability Category II or greater. All SRs were rated as CC II or above with the exception of IFQU-A6, which did not meet the Capability Category required criteria.
The independent peer review identified 8 Facts and Observations which are comprised of 5 findings, 2 suggestions, and 1 best practice. Table U-2 lists the 5 findings, including the peer review assessment comments. Due to the timing of this peer review, the Facts and Observations in Table U-2 are still considered Draft and NSPM has not yet provided a disposition. NSPM will provide a supplement to this LAR to identify final information from this Internal Flooding PRA peer review and to provide a disposition for these Facts and Observations.

Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment U - Internal Events PRA Quality PINGP Page U-4 Table U-1 Internal Events PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations SR Topic Status Finding/Observation Disposition AS-B3 Accident Sequence - Containment Sump Blockage Closed Sections 5.x-6 discuss the adverse environmental condition in terms of increasing containment temperature and pressure. However, there is no discussion of potential plugging of the sump screen by the debris generated in a LOCA (e.g., a large LOCA).
Basis for Significance: No discussion of potential plugging of the sump screen by the debris generated in a LOCA (e.g., a large LOCA). Reviewed WCAP-16882-NP, Rev. 1. This document provides a methodology and example application for determining representative screen plugging frequencies based on the initiating event (Non-LOCAs, LOCAs, and Steam line breaks inside and outside containment) that lead to the need for sump recirculation. Incorporated this into the PRA model. The Residual Heat Removal System Notebook was updated to document the re-modeling of the sump strainer plugging logic by initiating event. The specific issue identified in the Peer Review Finding was corrected when finalizing the Revision 3.1 PRA Model, which was used as a starting point for the Fire PRA. DA-C9 Data Analysis - Run-time Estimation Closed PRA-PI-DA, Sections 4.5.5. PINGP used estimates for test run time for some data taken from Operator logs or other plant data as ©-25% of the full test duration©. Discussed with PINGP and this is related to lack of good data from around pre-2003 records when improved data recording was done. This should be discussed in the notebook.
Basis for Significance: Some run time data is estimated but no clear explanation of why this was necessary or the basis for using 25% was in the notebook. The Data Analysis notebook was updated to clarify how component run-time was estimated using Operator Logs. The documentation update did not result in a change to the assumption or any Data that was collected. The specific issue identified in the Peer Review Finding was corrected when finalizing the Revision 3.1 PRA Model, which was used as a starting point for the Fire PRA. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment U - Internal Events PRA Quality PINGP Page U-5 Table U-1 Internal Events PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations SR Topic Status Finding/Observation Disposition DA-D2 Data Analysis - Expert Judgment Closed PRA-PI-DA, Sections 3.5 (Data based on Expert Judgment) states ©There were no instances in which expert judgment was used to estimate a failure mode because either plant specific or generic failure data were available. A basis for all probabilities that did not have generic data is documented in Table 7.1 and through its associated references.© Table 7.1 (Special Event Probabilities) contains some instances of use of expert judgment where the basis is not clear. For example 1VVAxxx and 2VVAxxx values in Table 7.1 are identified as "Based on conversation with system engineering this value is conservative, however, updated basis is needed."
Also, the basis for Data Analysis Notebook (PRA-PI-DA) Section 1.6, Assumption 1, ©conservatively assumed that a component would not be run for more than 25% of the full test duration if the exact time were not listed© is not clear. Basis for Significance: Table 7.1 (Special Event Probabilities) contains instances of use of expert judgment where basis is not clear. Need to at least document the rationale behind the choice of parameter values in these cases. Also, basis for DA Notebook, Section 1.6, Assumption 1 is not clear. The Peer Review Finding was issued because the data notebook was unclear how Expert Judgment was utilized in the Data Analysis. There were two specific issues that were identified: The first issue deals with Special Events in the Data Analysis notebook (Table 7.1) because two events were identified as using expert judgment, but sufficient basis for the use of expert judgment was not provided and it contradicted with a statement in another section of the Data Analysis notebook.
The second issue that was identified by the Peer Review team was an inadequate basis for assumption 1.6(1). Since this issue was documented as a separate Peer Review Finding (SR DA-C9), it will be discussed further below.
The Data Analysis was reviewed for instances where expert judgment was used. Additional justification was provided for the two events identified by the Peer Review Team as well as another event that were identified as not having sufficient supporting information. In the cases where the value changed as a result of providing updated justification, the PRA model was also updated. The updated values had no significant affect on the final result. Also, the Data Analysis Notebook was updated to more clearly discuss the use of expert judgment. The specific issue identified in the Peer Review Finding was corrected when finalizing the Revision 3.1 PRA Model, which was used as a Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment U - Internal Events PRA Quality PINGP Page U-6 Table U-1 Internal Events PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations SR Topic Status Finding/Observation Disposition starting point for the Fire PRA. DA-D3 Data Analysis - Error Factors Closed PRA-PI-DA. All basic events for failure modes, CCF and unavailability have mean, distribution and uncertainty values assigned. The significant basic events had Bayes updated uncertainty values. Section 6.1.2 has CCF uncertainty. Unavailability assumes an Error Factor (EF) of 3 but no basis is provided. Basis for Significance: Unavailability assumes EF of 3 but no basis is provided. The Data Analysis notebook was updated to provide justification for using an EF of 3 using maintenance data provided in NUREG/CR-6928. The model was also reviewed and updated to ensure all maintenance events were using the correct EF.
The specific issue identified in the Peer Review Finding was corrected when finalizing the Revision 3.1 PRA Model, which was used as a starting point for the Fire PRA. DA-D4 Data Analysis - Reasonableness Check Closed PRA-PI-DA, Sections 4.7 documents the reasonableness check. Did not find documentation of the identified inconsistencies and their disposition. Basis for Significance: Identification and disposition of inconsistencies were not documented. The Data Notebook provides a narrative that describes the methodology and the results of the consistency check. To clarify the Data Analysis notebook, the ASME Standard Roadmap was updated to point the reader to the appropriate sections of the notebook that discuss the methodology and results of the reasonableness checks. The specific issue identified in the Peer Review Finding was corrected when finalizing the Revision 3.1 PRA Model, which was used as a starting point for the Fire PRA. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment U - Internal Events PRA Quality PINGP Page U-7 Table U-1 Internal Events PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations SR Topic Status Finding/Observation Disposition DA-D8 Data Analysis - Modifications Closed Section 4.5.3 (Identify Equipment Failures) contains the statement ©For instances were a modification or change to an operation practice made past data no longer representative of current performance, the use of such data was evaluated to determine if it was appropriate to use in the data analysis. If the data was not consistent with current plant design and operating practices, the use of the data was limited or not used.© The replacement of steam generators for Unit 1 is an example where PRA model data was updated. Sump screen replacements are also reflected in revised model data. The SR roadmap for this SR needs work. Basis for Significance: The SR roadmap points to Section 5.1 of the notebook (Maintenance Data), which is not relevant to this subject. The SR roadmap comment for this SR was "There were no modifications identified that would have affected the data analysis during the specified time interval for Risk Significant components or maintenance unavailability." Were there no plant modifications for the data analysis time period 1/1/2002 to 12/31/2007 such as sump screens? Were there no significant procedure changes, such as "water management" for the sump screen issue? The Data Analysis notebook accounts for the modifications that occurred within the analysis timeframe. For the data collection period that was used in the current notebook, there were no additional modifications identified that affected the data analysis, with the exception of the sump strainer modification, which was accounted for in the PRA.
The specific issue identified in the Peer Review Finding was corrected when finalizing the Revision 3.1 PRA Model, which was used as a starting point for the Fire PRA.

Updated the Data Notebook to reference the Uncertainty Analysis notebook.
The specific issue identified in the Peer Review Finding was corrected when finalizing the Revision 3.1 PRA Model, which was used as a starting point for the Fire PRA. HR-D2 Human Reliability Analysis - Pre-Initiator Human Error Probabilities Closed Detailed assessments were used to quantify most of the pre-initiator HEPs. However, a screening value (that is relatively small) was used for risk significant HFEs - for example, 1EOPMDAFWRZ in Table 4-1 of PRA-PI-HR.
Does not meet CC II because detailed assessments were used to quantify many but not all of the risk significant pre-initiator HEPs. For example a screening value (that is relatively small) was used for risk significant HFEs - 1EOPMDAFWRZ in Table 4-1 of PRA-PI-HR. Basis for Significance: Screening values (although relatively small) were used for risk significant HFEs - for example, 1EOPMDAFWRZ in Table 4-1 of PRA-PI-HR.
All risk-significant pre-initiator operator actions were updated with detailed Human Error Probabilities (HEPs) assessments. HRA Notebook and Database were updated accordingly.
The specific issue identified in the Peer Review Finding was corrected when finalizing the Revision 3.1 PRA Model, which was used as a starting point for the Fire PRA. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment U - Internal Events PRA Quality PINGP Page U-9 Table U-1 Internal Events PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations SR Topic Status Finding/Observation Disposition HR-G1 Human Reliability Analysis - References Closed The Human Reliability Analysis Notebook Table 5-3 lists the RAW and FV values for all the post-initiator HFE basic events. Basic Events (BEs) with RAW > 2 or FV > 0.005 are listed as risk significant. Table 5-1 lists the method used to analyze the HFEs. The only risk significant HFEs that use screening values use a value of 1.0. All other risk significant HFEs use a detailed method. Basis for Significance: No reference to which model was used to calculate the importance measures for the post-initiator HFEs. Provided reference for the current PRA Model revision used to calculate the importance measures for post-initiator Human Failure Events (HFEs) in the Human Reliability Analysis (HRA) Notebook. The specific issue identified in the Peer Review Finding was corrected when finalizing the Revision 3.1 PRA Model, which was used as a starting point for the Fire PRA. IE-C10
Initiating Events - Mission Time Closed SR Not Met. PRA-PI-IE-INITS Initiating Events Notebook, Section 4.4.8. Some events in I-LOCL tree have 32 hour mission time (see event 0SPCHZXSCCR). Also 0SE121RFESR events used 32 hours. Why not use 24 hours? Need to confirm fault trees. Basis for Significance: Initiator should use MTTR for standby failures and other system initiator fault trees used 24 hours. The Support System Initiating Event fault trees were reviewed and the mean time to repair mission time for the standby failures was updated to 24 hours. The Data Analysis Notebook was updated to reflect a mission time of 24 hours for standby components. The specific issue identified in the Peer Review Finding was corrected when finalizing the Revision 3.1 PRA Model, which was used as a starting point for the Fire PRA.
Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment U - Internal Events PRA Quality PINGP Page U-10 Table U-1 Internal Events PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations SR Topic Status Finding/Observation Disposition IE-C14 Initiating Events - Interfacing System Loss of Coolant Accident Mission Time Closed SR Not Met. RA-PI-IE-INITS Model Initiating Events Notebook, Section 4.3.7, Appendix 5. ISLOCA fault trees are quantified in the single top model CDF and LERF. Section A5.3, 2. Mission time for MOVs and check valves states, ©both valves are assumed to have a mission time for valve rupture of 8760 hours©. This results in cutsets for ISLOCA that have more than one event with a mission time of 8760 hours which is not correct. Only one event should have the 8760 mission time.
Basis for Significance: The ISLOCA cutsets have multiple events with longer than the annual frequency. The Initiating Events notebook was updated to document the justification for using 8760 hours for in-series valve failures for the ISLOCA modeling. Since there is a potential for the valve nearest the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) to leak prior to rupture, thereby exposing the inner valve to the RCS pressure for much of the operating cycle, an 8760 hour mission time was conservatively applied to each valve in-series. The specific issue identified in the Peer Review Finding was corrected when finalizing the Revision 3.1 PRA Model, which was used as a starting point for the Fire PRA. LE-C3 Large Early Release Frequency - Significant Accident Sequence Progressions Closed Did not observe a review of significant accident progressions documented in the LERF Notebook (PRAPI- LE, Rev. 0) to determine if repair can be credited. The LERF Notebook Section 4.9.2 (SBO Sequences) includes a statement that "Because there are no PI procedures for recovering power after the batteries are depleted, the assumption is made that power cannot be recovered and that all sequences will progress to vessel breach." This SR is assessed as met at CC I. Basis for Significance: Did not observe a review of significant accident progressions documented in the LERF Notebook (PRA-PI-LE, Rev. 0) to determine if repair can be credited. A section was added to the LERF Notebook to document the review of significant accident progressions that lead to a Large Early Release to determine if repair of equipment could be credited. The review looked at accident progressions such as Interfacing Systems Loss of Coolant Accidnet (ISLOCA), Medium LOCA, Station Blackout (SBO), and Steam Generator Tube Rupture (SGTR). Discussion of the recovery potential of each scenario, and the basis for not considering in the LERF, was added to the LERF notebook. The specific issue identified in the Peer Review Finding was corrected when finalizing the Revision 3.1 PRA Model, which was used as a starting point for the Fire PRA. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment U - Internal Events PRA Quality PINGP Page U-11 Table U-1 Internal Events PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations SR Topic Status Finding/Observation Disposition LE-F1 Large Early Release Frequency - Dominant Contributors Closed Relative contribution to LERF from plant damage states and initiating events were provided. LERF contributor listing from Table 2-2.8-9 is not complete. Basis for Significance: LERF contributor listing from Table 2-2.8-9 is not complete. The LERF notebook analyzed the list of LERF Contributors from WCAP-16341 because it provided a broader band of evaluated LERF Contributors than the ASME Standard. Per the review of the list provided in the WCAP, all of the LERF contributors listed in the ASME Standard are accounted for and the intent of the ASME Standard is met.
The specific issue identified in the Peer Review Finding was corrected when finalizing the Revision 3.1 PRA Model, which was used as a starting point for the Fire PRA. LE-G5 Large Early Release Frequency - Limitations Closed SR Not Met. No description and discussion of LERF model limitations. Basis for Significance: No description of limitations of the model and their implications for Risk-Informed applications. The LERF Notebook was modified to include a technical discussion on the limitations of only considering the large early containment release scenarios needed for LERF quantification. Also included is a discussion of the fact that, since longer term containment releases are not modeled in the PINGP PRA, systems that play a role in controlling and mitigating long-term containment releases (Containment Spray (CS) and Containment Fan Coil Units (CFCUs)) are not modeled. An Appendix was added to the LERF Notebook to document sensitivity studies performed to demonstrate that modeling successful operation or failure of CFCUs and CS will not result in reducing the release magnitude below LERF categorization or cause non-LERF sequences to become LERF due to increased pressure from hydrogen burns from CS or CFCUs de-inerting the post accident containment steam environment.

MU-F1 Maintenance and Update - Procedure Implementation Closed It appears that some of the FP-PE-PRA procedures that are in "Draft" form are already being implemented. Basis for Significance: Some of the FP-PE-PRA procedures are in "Draft" form. This Peer Review Finding was written since some of the Peer Reviewed procedures were not officially approved at the time of the Peer Review. All the PRA procedures have been approved and are being used by the PRA Program staff. The specific issue identified in the Peer Review Finding was corrected when finalizing the Revision 3.1 PRA Model, which was used as a starting point for the Fire PRA.
QU-A3 Quantification - Interfacing System Loss of Coolant Accident Closed PRA-PI-QU, Sections 4.1 and 4.2.6. The UNCERT code was used to determine the distribution of the CDF and LERF. The PRA-PI-INITS notebook, section A5.3 discusses how the state of knowledge correlation was evaluated and adjustments made for some ISLOCA events for valves. However, PINGP self identified that these corrected values are not included in the overall CDF/LERF frequency and should have been. However, there should be a reference in QU to the INITS section. Error identified in section 4.2.6 for Unit 1 CDF of 1.46E-5 vs. Figure 4.2-9 value needs to be corrected.
Basis for Significance: There is no reference to the INITS notebook and PINGP identified that the Revised ISLOCA correlated valve failure probability calculation in the Initiating Event Notebook to recognize the updated check valve and motor operated valve catastrophic rupture (large internal leakage) failure probabilities in the Data Notebook. The quantification results were updated to reflect the incorporation of this model change. The specific issue identified in the Peer Review Finding was corrected when finalizing the Revision 3.1 PRA Model, which was used as a starting point for the Fire PRA. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment U - Internal Events PRA Quality PINGP Page U-13 Table U-1 Internal Events PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations SR Topic Status Finding/Observation Disposition ISLOCA basic events did not use the adjusted values in the final model. The value of the unit 1 CDF from UNCERT does not agree with that shown in the figure. QU-C2 Quantification - Human Failure Event Dependency Analysis Closed SR Not Met. PRA-PI-QU, Section 4.3.4 discusses the process used to adjust multiple HFEs using HRA calculator, EXCEL spreadsheets and utility programs. PRA-PI-HRA, section 3.4.2 and Attachment E address the dependent HFE analysis and resultant values which were used in the final quantification. This should be referenced in the QU notebook. These are included in Appendix F in the HEPCombos.txt file. There is no listing provided of the [item] and no discussion of the details of the adjustments made to the dependent HFEs to justify that the combination HFEs in any cases have extremely low values well below 1E-05. These low values and their impact on CDF/LERF should be justified and evaluated.
Basis for Significance: The combination HFEs in many cases have extremely low values well below 1E-05. These low values should be justified and their impact on CDF/LERF evaluated. This issue was resolved by specifying a minimum value for individual HEPs and to joint dependent HEPs in the dependency analysis. The details of how these adjustments were made were documented in the Quantification Notebook. The information was also included in the HRA Notebook.
The specific issue identified in the Peer Review Finding was corrected when finalizing the Revision 3.1 PRA Model, which was used as a starting point for the Fire PRA. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment U - Internal Events PRA Quality PINGP Page U-14 Table U-1 Internal Events PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations SR Topic Status Finding/Observation Disposition QU-D4 Quantification - Plant Comparison Open Section 4.3.6 gives comparison of PINGP PRA results to Point Beach, Ginna, and Kewaunee plants. The causes for significant differences are only assumed but no evidences are given. Causes for differences are not identified.
Basis for Significance: The causes for significant differences are only assumed but no evidences are given. Causes for differences are not identified. The Quantification notebook discusses the differences between Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP) and other similar 2-LOOP Westinghouse designs. The Initiating Event contributions for each plant were compared and the differences are discussed by postulating how the PINGP design differs. As noted in the Peer Review finding, it is suggested that a detailed review of sister plants design features and/or modeling techniques be performed. This level of a detailed comparison has not been completed. This F&O has not been closed out.
It is not expected that updating the documentation associated with the comparison of similar plants will result in any changes to the PRA model or its supporting analyses. This Finding will not have an effect on the Fire PRA or its supporting analysis. SY-A4 Systems Analysis - Walkdowns and Interviews Closed Plant walkdowns and interviews have been done (see System Walkdowns and Interviews notebook). Some issues seem not to have been addressed.
Basis for Significance: Some issues were found during the plant walkdowns and interviews but were not addressed in this revision. So the PRA model could be considered as non coherent with the as-build as-operated plant. However these issues are managed and become parts of the PRA maintenance and update process. Each comment from the system engineering interviews and plant walkdowns was reviewed to determine whether or not the issue had been resolved. Every item that was identified as not being completed was entered into the PRA Change Database (PCD) to determine its impact on the PRA. Depending on the issue's significance, it was either completed immediately or was deferred to a future PRA model update. The specific issue identified in the Peer Review Finding was corrected when finalizing the Revision 3.1 PRA Model, which was used as a starting point for the Fire PRA. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment U - Internal Events PRA Quality PINGP Page U-15 Table U-1 Internal Events PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations SR Topic Status Finding/Observation Disposition SY-A8 Systems Analysis - Component Boundaries Open The pressure switch failure for the Component Cooling pump noted in Component Cooling notebook assumption 28 for miscalibration of pressure sensors should not be included in the boundary of the Component Cooling pump.
Basis for Significance: The pressure switch failure is separately modeled in CC and miscalibration is not. The specific model changes have been incorporated into the PRA, but the Finding has not been closed out due to an extent of condition evaluation that was performed to review modeled Instrument and Control (I&C) component failure events relative to the component boundaries of the modeled equipment that they support. Similar to the Component Cooling pressure switch, other inconsistencies related to I&C components were identified. The specific issue identified in the Peer Review Finding was corrected when finalizing the Revision 3.1 PRA Model, which was used as a starting point for the Fire PRA. Although the extent of condition reviewed similar inconsistencies, the current model is considered conservative and adequate for the risk-informed NFPA-805 application. SY-A17 Systems Analysis - References Closed PRA-PI-SY-CL Section 4.0 which discusses specific operator actions and applicable plant procedures. Cannot find reference to PRA-PI-HR notebook in Section 4.0 of the CL notebook. Do not find a reference in Section 4.0 of the CT notebook either.
Basis for Significance: The system model should include HFEs that are expected during the operation of the system. No reference to PRA-PI-HR notebook in CL and CT notebooks. The Cooling Water (CL) and External Circulating Water (CT) System Notebooks have been updated to include a reference to HRA Notebook. The specific issue identified in the Peer Review Finding was corrected when finalizing the Revision 3.1 PRA Model, which was used as a starting point for the Fire PRA. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment U - Internal Events PRA Quality PINGP Page U-16 Table U-1 Internal Events PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations SR Topic Status Finding/Observation Disposition SY-B14 Systems Analysis - Containment Cooling Closed Section 6.13 of the Success Criteria Notebook (CONTAINMENT) states: "Containment cooling is not required for any of the Level 1 accident sequences. In addition, for LERF modeling no containment cooling is required (see the LE notebook, Reference 21). Therefore, the PINGP Level 1 and LERF models do not include containment spray (CS) or [containment] fan cooler units (CFCUs)." Observed one MAAP LLOCA scenario (LLOCA-CONT) that did not credit CS or CFCUs (SC Notebook Table 6.4) but did not find documentation of the results for this case in Appendix B of the SC Notebook or elsewhere. Need documented basis for not crediting containment spray and CFCUs in the PINGP PRA model to ensure no impact on CDF and LERF results. Basis for Significance: Not crediting CS and CFCUs in the PRA may ignore their impact for some scenarios (e.g., NPSH for large LOCA recirculation mode RHR). The following was completed to address this Peer review Finding from both a Level 1 Plus LERF perspective.
(1) A sensitivity calculation was developed to evaluate the affects of Containment Fan Coil Units and Containment spray. This Thermal Hydraulic calculation confirmed that for LLOCA and MSLB scenarios the operation of the Containment Fan Cooler Units (CFCUs) or Containment Sprays (CS) will result in lower peak pressures. This calculation also confirmed that for the LLOCA and MSLB scenarios with failure of CFCUs and CS, the calculated peak containment pressures will remain below the best estimated containment failure pressure. Therefore, it was concluded that there is no need to model CFCUs or CS operation or failure in the Level 1 PRA accident sequences.
(2) The Success Criteria Notebook was amended to describe the results of the sensitivity studies performed in the calculation described above.
(3) An additional sensitivity calculation was performed to evaluate the effects of the Containment Fan Coil Units and Containment Spray on LERF analysis. This calculation confirmed that for all plant damage states previously evaluated operation/failure of the Containment Fan Cooler Units (CFCUs) or Containment Sprays (CS) would not alter the classification of LERF vs. non-LERF sequences. Therefore, it was concluded that there is no need to model CFCUs or CS operation or failure in the Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment U - Internal Events PRA Quality PINGP Page U-17 Table U-1 Internal Events PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations SR Topic Status Finding/Observation Disposition Level 1 Plus LERF PRA accident sequences. (4) The LERF Notebook was amended to describe the results of the sensitivity studies performed in additional sensitivity study described above.

Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment U - Internal Events PRA Quality PINGP Page U-18 Table U-2 Internal Events PRA Peer Review - DRAFT Facts and Observations SR Topic Status Finding/Observation Disposition IFPP- B3-01 Identification of assumptions Open A parametric uncertainty analysis was performed on the final results. An evaluation of generic sources of model uncertainty from NUREG-1855 was documented. Although some of the plant specific sources of modeling uncertainty are documented in Table 18, not all key assumptions contained in the analysis documents are listed and evaluated for their potential effect on applications. To be provided in a supplement to the LAR. IFPP-A2-01 Credit for sealed penetrations Open In defining the flood areas, assumption 6 of the accident sequence notebook states: "Sealed penetrations are assumed to be effective at preventing propagation between areas such that the propagation would result in equipment failure in the adjoining area." On page 169, the table states that for zone 419 the sealed penetration fails. This is in conflict with assumption 6. To be provided in a supplement to the LAR. IFSN-A10-01 Credit for floor drains Open The assumption states that no credit was taken for drains. However, the accident analyses and initiating event definitions discriminate based on flooding flow rates and area drain flows. As a result, there is a conflict between the documented analyses and Assumption 2 of the flood area definition notebook and the accident sequence analysis. To be provided in a supplement to the LAR.

Fire PRA Quality 52 Pages Attached Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-2 Northern State Power-Minnesota (NSPM) has determined that the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP) Fire PRA is adequate to support the NFPA 805 Licensing Basis. A Peer Review of the PINGP Fire PRA against the requirements of Section 4 of ASME/ANS Standard RA-Sa-2009 was conducted the week of May 7 through May 11, 2012. Based on this peer review, the PINGP Fire PRA was found to be essentially consistent with the ASME/ANS PRA Standard.
Section 4 of the ASME/ANS PRA Standard contains a total of 183 Supporting Requirements (SRs) under 13 technical elements, and configuration control from Section 1.5. Of these 183 SRs, eighteen (18) were determined to be not applicable to the PINGP Fire PRA either due to the fact that the requirements were not applicable to the PINGP approach, or the technical element was not used for the PINGP analysis (i.e., Quantitative Screening, QNS). The remaining SRs were evaluated against the ASME/ANS PRA Standard and were assessed as meeting Capability Category (CC) I, II, III, or "Not Met." Meeting the ASME/ANS-RA-Sa-2009 standard at Capability Category II represents a degree of accuracy such that the PRA may be used for most regulatory submittals. Capability Category III represents a high degree of accuracy that is also acceptable for regulatory submittals. Meeting a requirement of the standard at Capability Category I represents a lower degree of accuracy. For the PINGP Fire PRA about 92% of the SRs were assessed at Capability Category II or higher, including 5% of the SRs being assessed at Capability Category III. The PINGP Fire PRA had an additional 3% of the applicable SRs assessed at the CC-I level. The PINGP Fire PRA does not meet 5% of the applicable SRs. There were no SRs "Not Reviewed" by the Peer Review Team. There were also no "Unreviewed Analysis Methods" identified by the Team.
The Peer Review also noted a total of 56 Facts and Observations (F&Os). These included fifteen (15) "Suggestions," forty (40) "Findings" and one (1) "Best Practice." The Finding F&Os covered a variety of topics, but many dealt with the need to incorporate additional detailed analyses to develop results that are more realistic rather than bounding. Several others were on the need to better identify assumptions and discuss their impact on overall results. The Best Practice F&O was issued for the Seismic Fire Interaction Technical Element. The Finding F&Os and their disposition with respect to the NFPA 805 License Amendment Request are provided in Table V-1, organized by Technical Element and Supporting Requirement. The Status column in Table V-1 indicates whether Findings are open or closed. Findings are considered Open until associated documentation updates have been completed and accepted into the NSPM process. The Findings that remain open have been determined to be acceptable for this LAR. In all cases, an explanation is provided in the "Disposition" column. The "Issues" in Table V-1 are presented directly from the Peer Review report, with minor editorial corrections.
The PINGP Fire PRA was determined by the Peer Review Team to meet Capability Category II in most but not all cases. A limited number of ASME/ANS Standard areas were identified as either not meeting a Supporting Requirement or only meeting Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-3 Capability Category I requirements. These are listed in Table V-2 with the planned disposition. The impact of those areas where a requirement was judged to be "Not Met" or where only the Capability Category I requirement was met is evaluated in Table V-2.
The full PINGP Fire PRA Peer Review Report will be made available to the NRC staff upon request.
Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-4 Table V-1 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding F&O Topic Status Issue Disposition PP-C3-01 Other Affected SR PP-C1 Agreement between the Plant Walkdown Notes and the Plant Partitioning Notebook Appendix Open DOCUMENT the general nature and key or unique features of the partitioning elements that define each physical analysis unit defined in plant partitioning in a manner that facilitates Fire PRA applications, upgrades, and peer review. The information in the Appendix A, PINGP Compartment Table, Basis for fire area separation, does not always agree with the information contained in the walkdown sheets. An example is on walkdown sheet 4GRP which states "unsealed cable tray penetration between FC39 and 4GRP. Likely to spread fire due to continuity of combustibles". The PINGP Compartment table states, "Unsealed cable tray penetration FC 39. Unsealed piping penetration to FC 39 and 85. These penetrations aside, the barriers are still sufficient to contain a fire." These two descriptions need to agree and provide reasons for the plant partitioning. Appendix A and the walkdown sheets need to be reviewed. These two documents need to be revised so they agree. The term "active fire door" needs to be revised to a door activated by a fusible link. A fusible link is considered to be a passive device and not an active device. It is acceptable to use the active definition for these fire barriers, but if that does occur, then PP-B5 changes from "N/A" to "CC-I". To go from "CC-I" to "CC-II" PINGP needed to "define and justify" the criteria applied for crediting the active fire barriers in the partitioning report. This finding discusses a discrepancy between the original walkdown notes and the final fire area separation table that are documented in the Plant Boundary and Partitioning notebook. The peer finding identifies that the separation between two of the identified Fire Compartments (FC) was not consistent. Per the review of the Plant Boundary and Partitioning notebook, it was identified that the justification for separating the compartments is valid for the purposes of the Single Compartment analysis. It should be noted that the multi-compartment analysis evaluated the risk associated with the interaction between FC 4GRP and FC 39 and 4GRP and FC 85. As such, this finding requires that the documentation associated with the Plant Boundary Partitioning notebook to be updated to ensure there is a clear link as to why the original plant walkdown notes do not match the credited separation criteria. This documentation upgrade will not affect the results of the Fire PRA. With regards to the "active fire door", Fire doors held open with a fusible link are defined as "active" barriers in the CCII requirement for PP-B5 in the Standard. Additional justification for crediting these active partitioning elements will need to be added to the PP notebook where necessary. This documentation upgrade will not affect the results of the Fire PRA.

ES-C1-01 Other Affected SR CS-A1 Add instruments required for new HFEs to the ES Notebook Open HFEs created specifically for Fire Scenarios (identified in FPRA-PI-FHRA) and their credited instrumentation have not been included in the Equipment Selection documentation. Related to this, not all instrumentation for those HFEs are cable selected. Standard requires that all HFEs and associated instrumentation required for FPRA are identified in the Equipment Selection task (and it is noted that Equipment Selection is an iterative process). Also, associated instrumentation requires cable selection if cable routing is not available. Include all HFEs in the Equipment Selection documentation. Cable selection will be required on instrumentation if not already available. It has been noted that there is a revision plan in place to address instrumentation currently not cable selected in the HRA. This Finding deals with Human Failure Events (HFEs) that are credited in the Fire PRA. Additional cable selection and routing was performed, but not all the information was incorporated into the Fire PRA. The HFEs that did not have credited instrumentation failures accounted for in the final Fire PRA were reviewed for their potential impact on the Fire Risk Evaluations (FREs). The review showed the results of the FREs would remain unaffected such that the acceptance criteria remained valid. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks and analysis are updated to completely address this issue. CS-A10-01 Cable routing through compartments Open Open item No. 1 on Page 17 of 17 of FPRA-PI-CS, Revision C, states that "in order to fully comply with Capability Category II, cables that are routed through fire compartments 2A, 41B-1, 46A, 58A, 58B, 58C, 58D, 76A, 78E, 86, 94A, 94B, 94C, 94D, 94E, and 94F need to be identified. This will be accomplished by identifying This issue involves the lack of specific routing information for cables through fire compartments (physical analysis units or PAUs) versus Fire Areas. As a result, damage to cables for additional equipment is assumed to occur beyond what is actually located in the compartment, making the risk results for these compartments conservative. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-6 Table V-1 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding F&O Topic Status Issue Disposition routing on electrical drawings, and with walkdowns performed as needed." Since this has not yet been completed, and the methodology not specified, this SR is provisionally met. Completeness of Fire PRA. Route cables through the listed fire compartments, and perform walkdowns to confirm accuracy of the routing. Utilize EPM Division Procedure EPM-DP-EP-005, Revision 1-Post-Fire Safe Shutdown Cable Routing and Component Location, and EPM Division Procedure EPM-DP-EP-004, Revision 2-Post Fire Safe Shutdown Cable Identification-February 2011. Although this is a conservative approach, the results of the Fire PRA have shown to be acceptable. For example, Fire Risk Evaluations for Fire Areas 2, 41B and 58 show delta risk results that are also conservatively higher, but meet established acceptance criteria. Since the results for these FREs meet the criteria established this level of conservatism is acceptable. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks are updated to completely address this issue. CS-B1-01 Other Affected SR CS-C4 Breaker coordination study Open As identified in FPRA-PI-CS, Appendix R overcurrent coordination and protection analysis has been reviewed but the analysis of additional circuits identified during the Fire PRA is currently in progress and is therefore not complete. Appendix R Breaker Coordination study has been reviewed. Additional breaker coordination is still being performed. Finish breaker coordination study. This issue involves completing the coordination studies that were on-going at the time of the peer review. A final coordination study has not been completed for the power supplies credited within the Fire PRA Model. Subsequent modifications will be performed to resolve outstanding coordination issues that are relevant to the Fire PRA. The Fire PRA assumes that there are not any coordination issues with the power supplies that are credited in the Fire PRA model. Resolution of coordination issues is captured in Attachment S of the LAR.

PRM-A1-01 Screening of ignition sources Open This SR states "CONSTRUCT the Fire PRA plant response model so that it is capable of determining fire-initiated conditional core damage probabilities (CCDPs) and conditional large early release probabilities (CLERPs) for various fire scenarios." The Fire PRA model is developed so that it is capable of determining fire-initiated CCDPs and LERPs for most ignition sources/scenarios. However, a large number of ignition sources have been "screened" in the Fire Compartment Analysis based on the fact that a fire associated with them only has the potential to impact the equipment that is the ignition source. A basic event showing the ignition source was screened as "ANDed" with the ignition source in the Fire PRA model. This does not appear to be correct modeling for ALL components that were screened since it does not include consideration of whether or not the equipment failure will result in a reactor trip. Verify, and where applicable state, that the "screened" ignition sources do not result in a reactor trip, and that it is accurate to eliminate them as initiators. For those "screened" sources that can result in a reactor trip, they need to be retained as initiators with their target sets including the equipment itself only. This finding involves fire scenarios that damage only the component from which the fire originates and does not consider if the screened component will result in a reactor trip. In these cases, loss of the component and any resulting plant transient (including a reactor trip) is encompassed by the internal events PRA. Screening these fire scenarios from the Fire PRA is appropriate. This documentation upgrade will not affect the results of the Fire PRA. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks are updated to completely address this issue. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-8 Table V-1 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding F&O Topic Status Issue Disposition PRM-A1-02 Loss of instrument air piping integrity Open This SR states "CONSTRUCT the Fire PRA plant response model so that it is capable of determining fire-initiated conditional core damage probabilities (CCDPs) and conditional large early release probabilities (CLERPs) for various fire scenarios." PINGP uses soldered connections in their instrument air system. They acknowledge that fires can result in failure of the soldered connections. However, PINGP contends that failure of a soldered connection will not lead to failure of the instrument air system because they assume that the second air compressor would make up for the lost air. However, this assumption appears to overlook the condition where the failed solder joint will lead to separation of the line. Any or all equipment downstream of the failed solder joint will lose air and go to their loss-of-air position. Furthermore, with an open line, the air flow would be preferentially directed to the line break. Depending on the break size, this bypass flow may be sufficient to lead to a significant drop in system pressure. This could lead to all air-operated components working off the system going to their loss-of-air position. PINGP needs to re-evaluate the impact of a fire-induced loss of instrument air considering the two scenarios above. For the second scenario, a calculation demonstrating that the two compressors are capable of maintaining adequate system air pressure even given severing of the largest A PRA calculation was completed to evaluate the impact of fires on the Instrument Air (IA) header. Plant walkdowns were performed to review components with an IA dependency in the Fire PRA and if either a fixed or transient initiator could affect soldered joints. Per the results of the calculation, only transient initiators were found to affect soldered joints on the IA header. Of the three (3) identified areas where fire could affect the IA header, the most limiting case was evaluated to determine the air flow from the IA system. The resultant system air flow was found to be within the capacity of the IA system (i.e. standby air compressor). Per the review of the fire PRA, additional analysis is needed to ensure the model accounts for the failure of components downstream of the soldered joints that could be affected by a fire. Because of the limited number of points where the IA could be affected by a transient fire, the resultant changes to the Fire PRA are expected to be minimal. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks and analysis are updated to completely address the issue.

PRM-A1-03 Other Affected SRs FQ-D1, FQ-E1 Containment bypass due to multiple spurious operation of isolation valves in small lines Open This SR states "CONSTRUCT the Fire PRA plant response model so that it is capable of determining fire-initiated conditional core damage probabilities (CCDPs) and conditional large early release probabilities (CLERPs) for various fire scenarios." When the Containment bypass lines were evaluated for potential inclusion of additional MSOs due to fires, one of the criteria that appears to have been used to screen lines was the size of the line. If the line was not >1 inch (water) or >2 inch (steam), it appears to have been screened out. Although this may be appropriate for internal events, it is not appropriate for fire events since a fire can cause multiple failures that result in multiple smaller lines being impacted simultaneously such that the LERF criteria is met. Re-evaluate the potential Containment Bypass lines and ensure that no lines are screened using the size criteria, or provide a justification for why the 1 inch (water) and 2 inch (steam) screening criteria is appropriate for fire-analyses. This finding suggests that multiple small flow diversions through lines that would otherwise have been screened out should be considered as a potential path for containment bypass. The probability of multiple small flow diversions being created simultaneously by spurious operations is very small. SR ES-A6 states for Capability Category II: "CONSIDER up to three spurious actuations of equipment alone or in combination with other fire-induced loss of function failures for the special case where fire-induced failures could contribute to an initiating event that in turn leads to core damage and a large early release." Note 8 for this SR states: "Fire-induced failures leading to interfacing system loss-of-coolant accident (ISLOCA) or containment bypass are examples of cases where fire-induced failures could contribute to an initiating event that in turn leads to core damage and large early release." To ensure this criterion was met, a search was performed for cases where up to three spurious operations within small lines that have been screened could lead to containment bypass events. No such spurious operation combinations were identified.

PRM-A2-01 Other Affected SRs PRM-A3, FQ-A4 Fire scenario analysis inputs Open This SR states: CONSTRUCT the Fire PRA plant response model so that it is capable of determining fire-initiated core damage frequencies (CDFs) and fire-initiated large early release frequencies (LERFs) once the fire frequencies (see Section 4.2.7) are also applied to the quantification. Although the scenario specific ignition sources, non-suppression probabilities, and severity factors are included directly in the Fire PRA model on a scenario specific basis, the basic events and probabilities included in the model do not appear to match what is stated in the notebooks.
- For example, looking at FC 32, the notebook states that the Non-Suppression Probability is based on a wet pipe system, and basic events 0SUPR-----M and 0SWET-----F. These basic events are modeled correctly under gate SUP-WET-G, but the probabilities used are incorrect. The fault tree has probabilities of 1E-2 and 3E-2 respectively, and the document shows probabilities of 2.2E-3 and 1E-2 respectively. These two need to be consistent The finding deals with consistent treatment of basic events 0SUPR-----M and 0SWET----F. The Fire PRA logic model was updated to ensure values associated BEs 0SUPR-----M and 0SWET-----F were consistently treated in the top logic model. With regards to clarifying how plant damage states translate into the Plant Response Model fault trees, updates to the documentation are needed to address this issue. The suggested documentation enhancements are not expected to affect the results of the Fire PRA. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks are updated to completely address the issue.
Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-11 Table V-1 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding F&O Topic Status Issue Disposition
- Additionally, compartment documentation describes how the various damage states are determined. However, the documentation does not clearly state how these damage states are translated into the Plant Response Model fault trees. This is leading to confusion when attempting to validate that the PRM logic is correct. Create a table of the inputs for each scenario to ensure that the inputs into the PRM are complete and correct. It is recommended that this table include the scenario, ignition frequency, NSP [Non-Suppression Probability] (including BE names), and Severity Factor (including BE names)) so that it is easy to ensure the logic reflects the notebook. PRM-B2-01 Plant Response Model - Internal Events Peer Review Findings Open VERIFY the peer review exceptions and deficiencies for the Internal Events PRA are dispositioned, and the disposition does not adversely affect the development of the Fire PRA plant response model. Not all the F&O's were addressed in Appendix F of PINGP-FPRA-PI-PRM notebook. It is not clear that all the suggestions have also been addressed. In its current form, what is in the Appendix F does [not] appear to be complete, but once all F&Os have been added, the table appears sufficient. Completion of the Appendix F and addressing the suggestion F&O for the A review of internal events peer review Findings and Suggestions was performed to determine if there were any effects on the Fire PRA. The results of the review showed that none of the Findings or Suggestions remaining open impacted the Fire PRA. Attachment U of the LAR provides detailed information regarding the peer review Findings that affect the internal events PRA. Note that a peer review was performed in September 2012 to evaluate the PINGP Internal Flooding analysis against the 2009 ASME standard. Due to the timing of this review, peer review finding have not yet Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-12 Table V-1 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding F&O Topic Status Issue Disposition internal events peer review will met this SR. been addressed by NSPM. This information will be provided in a supplement to this LAR. A draft version of the peer review findings is included in Attachment U to illustrate the technical adequacy of the Internal Flooding PRA, and NSPM will provide final findings and resolution in a supplement to this LAR. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks are updated to completely address the issue. PRM-B13-02 Other Affected SR PRM-B12 Naming convention for fire scenario analysis parameters Open There is a requirement to develop and use a system model nomenclature to allow model manipulation in the Internal Events PRA (SY-A23), and PRM-B9 states "ALL the SRs under HLR-SY-A and HLR-SY-B in Part 2 are to be addressed in the context of fire scenarios" - therefore the naming scheme established under SY-A23 of Part 2 is also applicable to the Fire PRA. Spurious transfers of valves were added into the model, but did not use the naming scheme established in the Internal Events PRA model. This implies that these events were meant to be used solely as Flag events. If this is true, then the naming scheme for Flag events needs to be used. If the addition of these events was done to include them as spurious failures as well, then data needs to be established for them in accordance with the Data SRs. If these events are to be used as Flag The spurious valve transfer events were not intended to be used as flag events. The fact that they do not follow the naming convention for basic events does not affect the results of the PRA because when these events are used, their probabilities are set by flag files for quantification of the model. The Fire PRA results and the change in risk calculated for the Fire Risk Evaluations are therefore performed correctly. This finding does not have an affect on the results of the Fire PRA. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks are updated to completely address the issue.
Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-13 Table V-1 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding F&O Topic Status Issue Disposition events, change their names to use the established Flag naming scheme. If they are to be used as random failure events, either use the already established "transfers open/closed" type code and data, or develop appropriate Type Codes and supporting data for them. PRM-C1-01 Fire compartment analysis documentation Open This SR is associated with documenting the Fire PRA plant response model in a manner consistent with the document requirements of the Internal Events PRA SRs for IE, AS, SC, SY, and DA. The documentation requirements are developed to ensure that the development of the Fire PRA model is easily understood and reproducible, and that they facilitate PRA applications, upgrades, and peer reviews. Although most of the information appears to be available throughout the various notebooks, it is difficult to find, and verify. Therefore, it is difficult to ensure that the Fire PRA model accurately reflects the information currently contained in the compartment specific notebooks, and in many instances it was determined that the two were inconsistent. A summary section that contains a table of the scenarios, and their applicable ignition frequencies, NSPs, and severity factors would be very useful, and would help ensure that the PRM accurately reflects the latest compartment information. However, this is not the only option. Any documentation restructuring or enhancement that would Appendix C of the Compartment Analysis Notebook shows the event trees for all ignition sources. The event trees include top event headings that consider the fire ignition frequency, all severity factors, and non-suppression probabilities applied and the resulting Plant Damage State. The event trees also consider frequency modifiers and the impact of spurious equipment operations that would change the Plant Damage State from a general transient to a LOCA event. Each Plant Damage State is linked directly into the Fire PRA logic model and then quantified independently. Since the scenario event trees and top logic fault trees have been prepared and reviewed, adding a second check by means of the table of inputs will not affect the Fire PRA results. This finding provides suggested documentation enhancements that will not affect the results of the Fire PRA. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks are updated to completely address the issue. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-14 Table V-1 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding F&O Topic Status Issue Disposition make it easier to follow the process employed for identifying the required PRM changes, and to find the required changes with their bases would be acceptable. FSS-A5-01 Other Affected SRs FSS-A1, FSS-A2, FSS-D10 Fire scenario development and fire modeling Open Section 6.1.1 (Unit 1, Fire Compartment 1-Containment) of FPRA-PI-SCA, Detailed Compartment Analysis Notebook, indicates that "the contribution to the plant Core Damage Frequency (CDF) and Large Early Release Frequency (LERF) from initiators in this compartment is sufficiently low to preclude fire modeling to screen initiators." The report FPRA-PI-FQ, Rev. B, Fire PRA Quantification, indicates that the CDF contribution from fire compartment 1 is 6% and is not sufficiently low. Therefore, additional evaluation is necessary beyond assuming full room burnout. A number of other fire compartments have the same issue. An F&O is being issued to recognize the fact that this SR must be met for the further analysis that will need to be used to ensure that the scenarios are evaluated and/or quantified at a level of detail commensurate with the risk significance of the scenarios. Additionally, IF new analysis methods (methods that are different from the ones currently being used by PINGP and that were reviewed as part of this Peer Review) are required to ensure the risk is adequately characterized, the new analysis methods may require a focused Peer Review to ensure they are applied appropriately. Additional detailed fire modeling has been performed for many fire compartments within the Fire PRA. In addition, planned modifications to address Variances from Deterministic Requirements (VFDRs) and recommended procedure changes described in Attachment S have also been incorporated. The results of this modeling were incorporated into the compartment analysis and overall Fire PRA quantification results (CDF/LERF) for the LAR. No new methodologies requiring focused Peer Review were necessary to address this Finding. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks are updated to completely address the issue. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-15 Table V-1 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding F&O Topic Status Issue Disposition Perform additional ignition source and target set refinement and fire modeling to better characterize the fire risk contribution to CDF/LERF. FSS-B2-01 Other Affected SR FSS-A6 Main Control Room (MCR) analysis Open Per Procedure EPM-DP-RSD-005, the MCR abandonment scenarios were developed to bound the risk in the main control room. This meets the standard at the CC-I level. Additionally, Section 9.2.1 of FPRA-PI-MCR, Main Control Room Analysis, Revision B (page 33 of 79) uses a bounding assumption associated with how the probability of a fire starting near a target is determined, which is acceptable for a bounding analysis, but will need to be revisited in order to ensure the MCR risk is realistically characterized. This F&O is a finding to go from CC-I to CC-II, which requires the FPRA to realistically characterize main control room abandonment fire scenarios instead of using a bounding analysis. The Standard requires an evaluation of two types of Main Control Room scenarios - those that require Full Abandonment, and those that do not lead to MCR Abandonment but do rely on ex-control room actions [i.e., external to the MCR] to safely shutdown the reactor. The scenarios evaluated do not appear to adequately consider or address Main Control Board (MCB) fires that do NOT require full abandonment, but DO require ex-control room operator actions including remote The current PINGP main control board fire scenarios are developed by determining where fire impact to redundant Fire PRA credited systems which are physically located in close proximity on the main control board is possible. The calculation of fire scenario frequency for MCB scenarios is performed consistent with guidance given in Section L.3 of NUREG/CR-6850. Section L.3 directs the use of Figure L-1 for determination of fire scenario frequency. The scenarios defined in the MCR notebook were quantified and incorporated in the results of the Fire PRA. The MCR analysis quantifies fire scenarios that lead to control room abandonment and non-abandonment. The current MCR technical analysis and documentation that supports the Fire PRA was found to be consistent with NUREG/CR-6850 methods. There were no changes to the conclusions of the MCR analysis as a result of this Finding. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks are updated to completely address the issue. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-16 Table V-1 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding F&O Topic Status Issue Disposition and/or alternate shutdown actions. Note - it is expected that some MCB fires will only impact a single Unit - and the need for ex-control room actions to assist that Unit - so the assumption that every fire results in a Dual Unit trip needs may need to be re-evaluated for some MCB fires. Since there is no single correct way to perform a realistic MCR analysis, it is recommended that PINGP contact other utilities to see the methods they used, and then select the methodology that best fits for PINGP. FSS-C1-01 Conduits located between ignition source and nearest cable tray Open The screening portion of fires included all fire sizes up to the nearest cable tray, but did not consider conduits between the ignition source and the cable tray that could potentially be a PRA target. This is non-conservative as it could result in screening risk contribution from PRA targets not in cable trays. Not considering conduits between the ignition source and the nearest cable tray is non-conservative as the conduit may be a PRA target. Recommend reducing the fraction of fires screened from an ignition source to those that cannot affect the nearest conduit to an ignition source, which may be a PRA target. It would be acceptable to ignore conduits that are known not to be PRA targets. Walkdowns were conducted to identify risk important redundant cables, routed in conduit, that are located in previously screened regions of the initiator zone-of-influence (ZOI). These walkdowns involved a review of fire areas that required the performance of FREs; fire areas that did not require performance of an FRE are deterministically compliant with NFPA 805 and therefore the loss of risk important circuits is unlikely. The walkdowns were used to identify the presence of redundant, risk important, cables routed in conduit which may have been screened from previously identified target sets. This review was performed using PRISM to identify the cable failures that resulted in the loss of credited Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-17 Table V-1 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding F&O Topic Status Issue Disposition For the fires beyond the screened portion, a full-room burnup would still need to be considered in the scoping fire modeling in order to capture all PRA targets, even though the conduit / raceway itself is less likely to cause an HGL than if the equipment or an associated cable tray combusted. redundant equipment/systems. In cases where risk important, conduit targets were identified, the physical location of the potential target conduits was determined with respect to screened initiators. Location of the potential target conduits was performed via drawing review or in-plant walkdowns. New severity factors were developed for the identified target conduits where they were found to be inside of previously screened regions of the initiator ZOIs. The application of this process provides a graded approach to assessing the potential risk impact from these intervening conduits for all fire areas that have FREs. The remaining fire areas are deterministically compliant and therefore would have a much lesser risk significance resulting from any intervening conduit since these compartments have been demonstrated to have at least one train free of fire damage. This process, therefore, provides a method of addressing the finding as it applies to the NFPA 805 LAR submittal. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks and analysis are updated to completely address the issue. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-18 Table V-1 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding F&O Topic Status Issue Disposition FSS-C5-01 Assumption for cable damage temperature Open Based on the wording in the reports, and a spot check of analyses, cables are assumed to be thermoset for self ignited cable purposes, and are assumed to be thermoplastic for the purposes of being a target. The cable database has information about which type of cable each individual cable really is, however the cable database does not appear to be used when determining what properties to use in the analysis for individual cables. The cable properties impact the CDF/LERF calculated for scenarios. Utilize the cable database to determine the target cable failure situation. If assumptions are used for screening/full compartment analyses, but actual cable types are used in detailed analyses - this needs to be clearly stated in the report. This finding involves clarifying the wording related to the application of thermoset and thermoplastic cable properties in the detailed fire analysis. The Fire PRA does not consider self-ignited cable fires because a review of the PINGP cable database has shown that PINGP has predominantly thermoset cable. In addition, the properties used in the PINGP Fire PRA for cable fire spread and cable damage are in accordance with those specified for Kerite cable in FAQ 08-053, Kerite-FR Cable Failure Thresholds. A significant quantity of the cable at PINGP is Kerite, but there also exists a limited amount of cable that is either thermoset or thermoplastic. Because a mix of these cable types could exist in any cable tray, the use of the properties for Kerite cable provides a realistic result. The current methodology is therefore reasonable. Since no change to the model is required, the results of the fire PRA are not affected. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks are updated to completely address the issue. FSS-C8-01 Integrity of credited fire wraps Open If raceway fire wraps are credited: a) ESTABLISH a technical basis for their fire-resistance rating, and CONFIRM that the fire wrap will not be subject to either mechanical This issue deals with the documentation related to how fire wraps were credited in the Fire PRA. Raceway fire wraps that are credited in the Fire PRA are fully qualified via Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-19 Table V-1 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding F&O Topic Status Issue Disposition damage or direct flame impingement from a high-hazard ignition source unless the wrap has been subject to qualification or other proof of performance testing under these conditions. There is no discussion of mechanical damage or direct flame impingement. There is also no discussion in the notebooks of the wrap being qualified. The justification found in the self assessment should be included in one of the fire notebooks. Also a confirmatory walkdown to ensure fire wrap is not damaged and associated documentation is needed. fire testing. The wraps credited were installed and are currently inspected and maintained in accordance with the plant fire protection program. Accordingly, the fire resistance rating and application of these wraps is considered acceptable for the Fire PRA. Fire wraps are not credited in the Fire PRA for high hazard sources (i.e. high energy arcing fault (HEAF)). This is a documentation related finding and does not affect the results of the fire PRA. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks are updated to completely address the issue. FSS-D7-01 Other Affected SR PRM-A2 Unreliability of detection in deluge system Open The Non-Suppression probability for the deluge system appears to be calculated incorrectly in several places in the FPRA-PI-SS report. In particular, in Table 20 on page 25 of 34 in report FPRA-PI-SS, Revision A, the unreliability of the detection system required to activate the deluge valve is not factored into the calculation. Additionally, it appears that the event tree in section P.1.3 and Figure P-1of NUREG/CR-6850 has been solved incorrectly. It also appears that the bullet titled "Pr(failure auto det):" and the bullet titled "Pr(failure auto supp):" on page P-6 of NUREG/CR-6850v2 is being interpreted incorrectly. This impacts the accuracy of the FPRA. Revise the calculation method on pages 25-This issue deals with the fact that the unreliability of the detection system was not initially considered for the deluge system. This factor was added to correctly modify the event tree to match that of Figure P-1 in NUREG 6850. With regards to the failure of auto detection and suppression, the analysis was reviewed and was found to be consistent with NUREG/CR-6850 methods. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks are updated to completely address the issue.

FSS-D7-02 Other Affected SR PRM-A2 Suppression system unavailability Open PRM model for fire compartment 18 does not reflect the basic events and failure rates identified in FPRA-PI-SCA, Rev. B. In particular, Section 6.19.2 of FPRA-PI-SCA states that the 0SPUR-----M is used in this room, but the PRM model does not include this basic event, but does include a different basic event that is not discussed for this compartment." A similar issue was also noted for fire compartment 48GRP - Section 6.35 of FPRA-PI-SCA states that the 0SPUR-----M is also used in this room, but again, the PRM does not include this basic event, but does model a different basic event for this fire compartment. It is believed that the PRM is correct, and that the documentation is incorrect in these cases, but a complete review of all fire compartments has not been done to verify that these are isolated instances. This will result in an error in final CDF values. A complete review of the Single Compartment Analysis write-up needs to be performed to verify that the "Modeling Factors" that are documented for each compartment are correct, and reflect the ones actually used in the PRM. Any discrepancies need to be corrected. The basic event 0SPUR-----M represents the unavailability of a suppression system due to maintenance. The value associated with this basic event is a bounding value of 0.01. The suppression system unavailability analysis section of Compartment Analysis notebook was completed to show that the value 0.01 will bound the actual Automatic Suppression System unavailability due to maintenance as determined by a review of past maintenance history. In scenarios where 0.01 will not bound the unavailability due to maintenance, the calculated value is used and documented. A review of the FPRA-PI-SCA was performed. No additional issues with non-suppression modeling factors were identified. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks are updated to completely address the issue. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-21 Table V-1 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding F&O Topic Status Issue Disposition FSS-D8-01 Evaluation of detection and suppression system effectiveness Open The SR states to document the assessment of fire detection and suppression system effectiveness in the context of each fire scenario analyzed. Did not find any evidence that this requirement was documented. Provide copies of the assessment for each fire scenario analyzed. Document that all systems are installed in accordance with NFPA and industry standards. Fire detection and suppression systems response was generically evaluated and applied to bounding fire modeling that employs conservative fire modeling treatments using Fire Dynamics Tools (FDTs). For more detailed treatments, analysis of system response was determined using Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) models. Fire detection and suppression system effectiveness is assessed to be high based on installation and maintenance in accordance with applicable standards. Where credited, system effectiveness is quantified in the event trees documented in the Compartment Analysis Notebook. In addition, fire suppression and detection systems that were credited in the Fire PRA were reviewed to ensure that they meet applicable codes and standards. Modifications were initiated for systems that were credited in the Fire PRA, but were found not to be code compliant. These modifications are listed in Attachment S of the LAR. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks are updated to completely address the issue. FSS-D9-01 Component sensitivity due to smoke Open The self-assessment states that no equipment was felt to be sensitive to smoke damage, therefore no evaluation for smoke damage effects was performed. If electronic In addition to damage due to direct flame impingement, high temperature, or radiative heat flux, electrical components also have the potential to be damaged by smoke. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-22 Table V-1 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding F&O Topic Status Issue Disposition equipment is being used, smoke damage is likely. Many electrical parts have data on the effects of smoke, which can be consulted if needed to make a decision. The assumption that no smoke damage will occur needs to be justified. Provide justification and documentation for smoke damage applicability to support Category II and future use of the fire PRA. Appendix T of NUREG/CR-6850 details the potential methods of damage by smoke during a fire event. Section T.3.1 of NUREG/CR-6850 indicates that, even for potentially vulnerable components, a general compartment fire will not lead to short-term smoke damage. A general compartment fire is taken to mean any fire that is reasonably expected to be possible within the compartment based on initiators present (98th percentile: electrical cabinet fire, transient fire, cable fire, etc). Section T.3.1 also indicates that for components located within the same electrical cabinet as the fire, or for components located in the immediately adjacent cabinets if the fire is in an interconnected bank of cabinets, smoke damage should be assumed. The methodology of the fire modeling used to support the PINGP Fire PRA analysis was to assume all components within the initiator will be damaged by smoke or thermal effects. A fire in any interconnected bank of electrical cabinets was assumed to spread to the immediately adjacent cabinets, as these were considered radiative damage targets. Through the completion of fire modeling and fire scenario development, no smoke-induced damage to Fire PRA equipment was identified that was not bounded by the analysis completed in the Compartment Analysis Notebook. Therefore, potential Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-23 Table V-1 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding F&O Topic Status Issue Disposition smoke-induced equipment damage is bounded by thermally-induced target damage assumptions, and was not explicitly incorporated into the target sets for fire scenarios. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks are updated to completely address the issue. FSS-D10-01 Other Affected SRs FSS-D11, FSS-H10 Walkdowns needed for added fire scenarios Open Since it is recognized that additional detailed fire scenarios need to be developed in order to accurately reflect the fire risk, this finding is being written to document that as more detailed scenarios are evaluated, confirmatory walkdowns of the newly defined scenarios to confirm the combinations of fire sources and target sets will also be required. These walkdowns need to be conducted in accordance with current EPM procedures. Such fire scenario revisions and associated walkdowns will be required to demonstrate an acceptable CDF/LERF value. Conduct and document confirmatory walkdowns of the newly defined scenarios to validate the fire sources and target sets Additional fire modeling and other analysis refinements were performed to address model conservatisms, as described in the resolution to F&O FSS-A5-01. Some of these activities resulted in the addition of new scenarios. Confirmatory walkdowns of the new scenarios were performed as appropriate to validate the fire sources and target sets. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks are updated to completely address the issue. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-24 Table V-1 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding F&O Topic Status Issue Disposition FSS-F1-01 Hydrogen piping and storage tanks Open During walkdowns it was determined that hydrogen lines in the turbine building have the capability of initiating a fire that would directly impinge on the building structural steel. In many plants, the use of fork trucks is not allowed in the area of exposed hydrogen pipelines. However, based on the walkdown performed, fork truck use is allowed in the area of exposed hydrogen pipelines at PINGP. The potential for a fork lift inadvertently impacting an exposed hydrogen line resulting in a direct hydrogen flame on exposed structural steel in the Turbine Building needs to be addressed. Additionally, the Hydrogen Storage Tanks outside the Turbine Building are stored in a physical configuration such that a fire in the storage tank area that impacts the valves and ends of the tanks could result in the tanks becoming missiles and punching through the concrete wall separating them from the Turbine Building. The potential for and impact of this scenario needs to be addressed. Evaluate and document the missing hydrogen scenarios. The events described in the finding are low likelihood and are not normally addressed in fire PRA (i.e. fracture of hydrogen piping due to a fork lift and hydrogen tanks becoming missiles). Hydrogen fires were evaluated based upon likely break points, such as flanged joints or valves. Welded sections of hydrogen piping are robust (Schedule 80) and would not normally be considered as a flame impingement source for the structural steel analysis. The resolution of this finding is documentation related and will not affect the results of the Fire PRA. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks are updated to completely address the issue. FSS-F3-01 Structural steel analysis quantification Open If, per SR FSS-F1, one or more scenarios are selected, Complete a quantitative assessment of the risk of the selected fire scenarios consistent with the FQ requirements, including collapse of the exposed structural steel. At present, Table 22 on page 31 of 34 in report FPRA-PI-SS, The fire scenarios developed in the Structural Steel notebook were examined, and it was determined all fire scenarios contained initiators that were previously evaluated during compartment analysis. Their anticipated damage targets were then compared with the Plant Damage States Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-25 Table V-1 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding F&O Topic Status Issue Disposition Revision A, has not been completed and a quantitative assessment has not been done. The quantitative assessment table exists in the report but needs the values for CDF and LERF entered into it. Complete the table with the quantitative values. If the table is completed, this F&O will be satisfied. (PDS) already assigned to the initiators. The plant damage states were found to be equal to or bounding for all target sets determined in the Structural Steel notebook. Therefore, no new scenarios need to be added into the quantification task, as existing scenarios already evaluate all initiators and damage states found during the structural steel-fire interaction analysis. The resolution of this finding is documentation related and will not affect the results of the Fire PRA. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks are updated to completely address the issue. FSS-G2-01 Outside area fires Open It was noted during the walkdown that there are large transformers located outside of the turbine building which are close to the turbine building. There appear to be cables /ductwork between the transformers and the turbine building, and these cables/ductwork do not currently appear to be included in any fire compartment. Because there are no physical barriers between the transformers and the outside ductwork/cables, and because the walkdown team determined that an explosion and/or fire in one of the transformers could physically impact the outside of the turbine building, the ductwork/cables need to be considered as part of the transformer fire compartment. Industry events have occurred where large transformers have failed and the resulting The Yard Fire Area scenario is calculated as a full "room" burnout, so all components in this fire area are affected by every initiator. Also, cables and ducts in vicinity of transformers are for components that support the transformers themselves (oil pumps, fans and instrumentation), so their failure in addition to that of the transformers adds no risk. This information is contained in the Compartment Analysis notebook. Qualification of the barriers separating this area from the Turbine Building is part of the fire protection program and is therefore credited in the Fire PRA. Since no change to the model is required, the results of the Fire PRA will not be affected. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-26 Table V-1 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding F&O Topic Status Issue Disposition fire or debris has impacted adjacent structures. Since the ductwork/cables are on the outside of the Turbine Building, they can be impacted by the Transformer fire, and need to be included in the evaluation. Fire scenarios involving the outside transformers and cables/ductwork external to the Turbine Building need to be evaluated as part of the single compartment analysis. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks are updated to completely address the issue. FSS-G6-01 Multi-compartment analysis quantification Open Requirement is to quantify the risk contribution of any selected multi-compartment fire scenarios consistent with the FQ [Fire Quantification] requirements. Quantification approach should be consistent with FQ supporting requirements. CCDP's are assumed to be 1 for combined areas. Multi-compartment fire CCDP's currently add up to mid-E-4 range, which is conservative. No LERF information is provided, need to provide LERF. Suggest providing more realistic evaluations and including LERF information for unscreened scenarios. Realistic estimates of multi-compartment CCDPs and CLERPs were developed following the peer review. These new results have been incorporated into the Fire PRA and are reflected in the final quantification results. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks are updated to completely address the issue. FSS-H5-01 Other Affected SR PRM-C1 Fire compartment analysis documentation difficult to follow Open Section 6 of FPRA-PI-SCA, Detailed Compartment Analysis Notebook, is very cumbersome to use and understand. In addition, many sections have nothing substantive except for a reference to another section - which takes up a lot of pages and makes it difficult to correlate the information that is in fact relevant to the subject. Also, many references are merely to event or Resolution of this finding involves suggested improvements to documentation for the Fire PRA. Since no change to the model is required, Fire PRA results will not be affected. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks are updated to completely address the issue. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-27 Table V-1 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding F&O Topic Status Issue Disposition computer ID's and codes that have no corresponding name or description. To facilitate use of the FSS notebook in the future, a substantial rewrite is needed that better organizes and condenses common information and references applicable to each compartment, and provides missing information. Improved documentation will be very valuable for future use, upgrade and peer review of the Fire PRA. Provide additional tables and descriptions of computer ID's rather than continual reference to another location that is not specifically identified (ie. A specific part or page in an appendix, rather than just reference to an appendix). Reduce duplicate statements of general information that increases the number of pages and complexity of the report. FSS-H5-02 Scenario specific parameter uncertainty Open Section 6 of FPRA-PI-SCA, Detailed Compartment Analysis Notebook, does not include any kind of detailed documentation related to scenario specific parameter uncertainty evaluations such that it can be referenced and utilized in Section 4.1.11 and Table 2 of Appendix A of the Uncertainty and Sensitivity Notebook (FPRA-PI-UNC, Revision B). This missing information is needed for long term use, upgrade and peer review of the Fire PRA. Provide documentation of scenario specific parameter uncertainty evaluations in report Scenario specific parameter uncertainty evaluations were not performed for the fire modeling inputs to the Fire PRA. The standard requires parameter uncertainty evaluations to meet Capability Category II or III. The finding suggests including the parametric uncertainty evaluations to satisfy the requirements for Capability Category II. However, the results of the Fire PRA are not affected if the uncertainty evaluations have not been performed. Since no change to the model is required, the Fire PRA results are not affected. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-28 Table V-1 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding F&O Topic Status Issue Disposition FPRA-PI-SCA, Detailed Compartment Analysis Notebook. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks are updated to completely address the issue. FSS-H9-01 Fire modeling parameter uncertainty Open The uncertainty discussions in FPRA-PI-UNC, Revision B, Uncertainty and Sensitivity Notebook, are very general in nature and not specific to the analyses in the fire scenario selection tasks of the Fire PRA. Therefore, this SR is judged to be met, although the need for more specific information and evaluation has been identified. Lack of specific detail which would allow long term use of the Fire PRA. Provide expanded, upgraded, and enhanced qualitative discussions, and possibly quantitative results related to uncertainty in the FSS portions of the fire PRA. This Finding is related to the level of detail that is provided in the Uncertainty and Sensitivity notebook. As stated in the Finding, the documentation meets the intent of the ASME standard, but could be enhanced to provide additional details. The resolution of this finding of this finding involves suggested improvements to documentation for the Fire PRA. Since no change to the model is required, Fire PRA results will not be affected. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks are updated to completely address the issue. FSS-H10-01 Other Affected SR FSS-D10 Documentation of walkdown information Open The electronic copies of walkdown data located at the following path: O:\Xcel Energy - PINGP Fire PRA\Task 1006-FIF\! Old Files from P2007\PINGP Initiator Photos and Data Sheets" needs to be incorporated into the Fire PRA documentation. This is needed in order to use, maintain, and update the Fire PRA in the future and provide completeness of the FPRA Documentation. It is recommended that the walkdown data in O:\Xcel Energy - PINGP Fire PRA\Task 1006-FIF\! Old Files from P2007\PINGP be This Finding is related to incorporating the output of plant walkdowns into the Fire PRA documentation so that conclusions from the walkdowns are retrievable and able to be verified. As noted by the Finding, it is recognized that some walkdown information should be included directly into the Fire PRA documentation. The resolution of this finding involves suggested improvements to documentation for the Fire PRA. Since no change to the model is required, Fire PRA results will not be affected. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-29 Table V-1 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding F&O Topic Status Issue Disposition directly referenced in FPRA-PI-SCA, Detailed Compartment Analysis Notebook or this information should be incorporated into an appendix to report FPRA-PI-SCA, Detailed Compartment Analysis Notebook. The walkdowns performed need to be easily retrievable, and to be able to be verified to be complete (i.e. none are inadvertently missing). This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks are updated to completely address the issue. IGN-A1-01 Other Affected SRs UNC-A1, UNC-A2 Sensitivity study needed for updated ignition frequencies Open PI used the ignition frequencies provided in NUREG/CR-6850 Supplement 1 (FAQ-0048). When using the Supplement 1 frequencies a sensitivity analysis must be performed against the ignition frequencies in NUREG/CR-6850. When using the Supplement 1 frequencies, a sensitivity analysis needs to be performed against using the NUREG/CR-6850 fire ignition frequencies. Perform sensitivity analysis between the NUREG/CR-6850 fire ignition frequencies and the frequencies provided in NUREG/CR-6850 Supplement 1. The sensitivity analysis only needs to be performed for those bins characterized by an alpha less than or equal to 1. A sensitivity study has been created to use the generic ignition frequencies provided in NUREG/CR-6850 for those bins with an alpha value of less than or equal to one as given in EPRI 1016735. The exception to this is Bin 9 where NUREG/CR-6850 Supplement 1 states that EPRI 1016735 is incorrect in that Bin 9 should have an alpha value greater than one, hence a sensitivity analysis does not need to be performed for this bin. The initiator frequencies from the sensitivity study were used to re-quantify the Fire PRA for the sensitivity case. The CDF and LERF results from the sensitivity case were compared to the baseline model case results in order to determine the effects on due to using the NUREG/CR-6850 Supplement 1 generic frequencies in place of the NUREG/CR-6850 generic frequencies. The results of the sensitivity showed that CDF increased approximately 46% and 43% for Unit 1 and 2 respectively. Also, LERF increased approximately 36% and 41% for Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-30 Table V-1 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding F&O Topic Status Issue Disposition Unit 1 and 2 respectively. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks are updated to completely address the issue. IGN-A7-01 Other Affected SR IGN-B3 Ignition source binning Open Bin 29, Yard Transformers (Others) is not filled. Additionally, Bin 15.1 Electrical Cabinets Non-HEAF may not be filled correctly. Fire Compartment 20 (Switchgear Room) has more HEAF electrical cabinet counts (13) than non-HEAF counts (7). This suggests that electrical cabinets with the potential to have a HEAF event are not assigned a non-HEAF fire event. Thus the failure mode of electrical cabinet fire may not be counted and underestimate risk in compartments with the potential for HEAF. This may inadvertently skew risk away from important areas such as transformer yard and switchgear rooms. Fill Bin 29 similar to how bins 27 and 28 are filled. If Electrical Cabinet can have a HEAF failure mode, ensure that both Bins 15.1 and 15.2 are filled. Also, for Bin 21 (Pumps), believe that the split fractions in 6850 electrical/oil are still valid. NUREG/CR-6850, Task 6, states that Bin 29 is reserved for items associated with the yard transformers, such as oil-filled power output cables, but not the transformers themselves. After additional review with plant personnel, and review of photographs showing the transformer areas, Bin 29 remains not applicable to PINGP. There are no initiators near the transformers that are not a part of the transformers themselves nor that are not already counted in a different bin. For example, the frequency for the segmented bus ducts in the transformer areas is counted in Bin 16.1. It should be noted that PINGP does not have any oil-filled power cables near the transformers. Electrical Cabinets - HEAF, Bin 15.2, were removed from the Bin 15.1, Electrical Cabinets Non-HEAF, count because of the guidance provided in EPRI 1016735. This guidance states that regarding the updated EPRI generic ignition frequency values, "the high energy fire ignition events associated with electrical cabinets have been removed from bin 15, now designated bin 15.1, to a new bin, designated 15.2, electrical cabinets-HEAF" (2-6). Electrical cabinets that are a Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-31 Table V-1 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding F&O Topic Status Issue Disposition HEAF concern should be counted in both Bin 15.1 and Bin 15.2 as both types of fires could occur in these electrical cabinets. Initiators counted in Bin 15.2 have been added to Bin 15.1 and documented in the Fire PRA documentation. EPRI 1016735 does not provide guidance regarding the fire type split fractions; therefore, the split fractions provided in Table 6-1 of NUREG/CR-6850 are still applicable. This includes Bin 21 (Pumps) along with several other bins. The fire type split fraction values are used in the CAFTA top logic model. The Compartment Analysis states that such frequency modifiers are used when applicable. The compartment analysis documentation was updated to clarify NUREG/CR-6850 as the source for the split fraction information. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks are updated to completely address the issue. IGN-A7-02 Ignition frequency summation Open The summation of the fire ignition frequency bins does not equal the summation of all ignition sources. The ignition frequency is not distributed correctly (with respect to transient ignition source bins). As discussed with FPRA personnel, ensure that the generic plant locations (battery rooms, diesel rooms) are lumped into the After review of the fire compartment generic locations it was determined that based on plant configuration and the guidance available in Table 6-2 of NUREG/CR-6850, the generic plant locations should be corrected as suggested. The PINGP fire ignition frequencies have been updated to properly assign generic Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-32 Table V-1 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding F&O Topic Status Issue Disposition correct transient bin (control/aux reactor, or plant wide transient bins). Document the sum of the ignition frequencies in the calculation and verify ignition frequencies are conserved for each revision. locations to fire compartments. The ignition frequencies were verified to ensure that fire ignition frequency was conserved. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks are updated to completely address the issue. IGN-A9-01 Assignment of maintenance weighting factors Open No maintenance factors of 50 have been assigned in the ignition frequency task. A fire compartment, like the maintenance shop, which has contestant [sic] maintenance activities should have this number assigned. No fire compartments have been assigned a maintenance factor of 50. By not assigning a maintenance factor of 50 to high maintenance compartments, this can divert risk to these compartments. Review plant information (review work orders/interview operators) to identify fire compartments which may have higher than normal maintenance activities. If, because of the large size of the PAUs, no single PAU is determined to warrant a maintenance factor of 50, even if rooms within the PAU would typically have a maintenance factor of 50 applied to them, the basis and methodology employed for determining the appropriate maintenance factor for the whole PAU should be documented. Per the review of Supporting Requirement IGN-A9, the standard requires to "POSTULATE the possibility of transient combustible fires for all physical analysis units regardless of the administrative restrictions."
- Specific to the intent of the SR, PINGP has postulated a transient fire in every Fire Compartment per the Fire Ignition Frequency Notebook.
- The Finding was assessed against IGN-A9 for not assigning a maintenance factor of 50. In addition, the Finding stipulates that a review of plant information (review work orders/interview operator) should be completed to identify fire compartments with higher than normal maintenance activities. Per the review of NUREG/CR-6850, Section 6.5.7.2, there is general guidance provided to assign maintenance weighting factors, stating that the application of the factors is a subjective process and must consider plant-Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-33 Table V-1 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding F&O Topic Status Issue Disposition specific layout and practices. Per section 5.2.7-2 of the Fire Ignition Frequency notebook, "influencing factors were assigned based on a review of the fire compartments with personnel familiar with PINGP." As such, the Fire Ignition Frequency notebook applied the appropriate weighting factors to the identified Fire Compartments. In addition, the compartment of interest for this Finding was the 8GRP. Fire Compartment 8GRP includes nearly the whole turbine building and was assigned a maintenance weighting factor of 10. The Maintenance Shop is part of the 8GRP and it would normally be assigned a maintenance weighting factor of 50. But 8GRP is a very large fire compartment, and the maintenance shop is only a small portion of the compartment, so assigning a Maintenance Weighting Factor of 50 to the 8GRP would disproportionally weight maintenance for the Fire Compartment. As such, the methodology described in NUREG/CR-6850 as implemented in the Fire Ignition Frequency analysis was followed correctly. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks are updated to completely address the issue. IGN-B5-01 Other Affected Identification assumptions and sources of uncertainty Open Although there is a section in the Ignition Frequency notebook entitled Assumptions, it does not appear to be complete. This is This Finding is related to the Assumption section of the Fire Ignition Frequency notebook. As stated in the Finding, Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-34 Table V-1 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding F&O Topic Status Issue Disposition SRs IGN-A10, CF-A1, UNC-A2 evidenced by the following examples:
- In section 5.2.7-2, the notebook states: "To estimate the ignition frequency for transient sources or activities, the concept of "influencing factors" is used to assess the likelihood of fire ignition. These factors represent a subjective judgment of the relative weighting of transient sources of ignition." A subjective judgment is an assumption by definition and should be identified as such.
- In Section 5.2.6, the notebook states: "Equipment screened during the walk down process is not included in the total plant count for its bin, and does not contribute to the ignition frequency of the compartment where it is located; however, later reviews during the Detailed Compartment Analysis task may result in screened targets being added back as ignition sources." Since the detailed reviews do not appear to be complete, this is a potential source of uncertainty. Additionally, Section 6.0 on Uncertainties and Sensitivities refers to the Uncertainty and Sensitivity Task report, which also does not appear to be complete. This is evidenced by the following examples:
- Section 9.0 of the Ignition Frequency notebook contains Open Items associated with the Ignition Source Frequency assumptions were identified that should also be identified in either the Assumption section of the notebook or included Uncertainty and Sensitivity notebook. Consolidating the assumptions within the Fire Ignition Frequency notebook or the Uncertainty Analysis notebook represent suggested improvements to documentation. Performing this documentation upgrade will not affect the results of the Fire PRA. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks are updated to completely address the issue.
Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-35 Table V-1 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding F&O Topic Status Issue Disposition calculation. o The first one states that several fire compartments do not currently contain cable loading estimates, and that these will need to be estimated. Estimations, by definition, contain uncertainty and should be identified as such. o The second one states: "The fire ignition sources for Unit 2 Containment were based off the Unit 1 walk down. " This is equivalent to assuming that Unit 1 and Unit 2 Containments are identical with respect to ignition sources, and should be identified as such.
- Section 4.1.6 of the Uncertainty and Sensitivity notebook states "Point values for the associated severity factors and floor area ratios (where applicable) were calculated, because these do not have uncertainty associated with them; the point values were entered into the fire PRA with no variability." Although the floor area ratios may be calculated, it is not evident where these calculations are performed, so their accuracy could not be confirmed. Additionally, there are no severity factors associated with ignition frequencies, so this statement makes no sense.
- Section 4.1.6 of the Uncertainty and Sensitivity notebook also states "With respect to accuracy, issues arising from mapping of plant specific locations to Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-36 Table V-1 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding F&O Topic Status Issue Disposition generic locations, equipment counting, determination of location-weighting and ignition source weighting factors, and plant specific fire experience were properly identified, categorized and analyzed." Although the majority of ignition sources are easily partitioned, it is very difficult to ensure that ALL ignition sources have been identified and appropriately partitioned in the plant since NOT ALL locations have had detailed walk downs associated with them to confirm the presence or absence of ignition sources. Additionally, the use of weighting factors introduces uncertainties into the evaluation, and should be identified as such. Ensure all assumptions, and implied assumptions, are contained in the assumptions section. Additionally, ensure that sources of uncertainty associated with the ignition source frequency development are appropriately identified and included, either in this notebook, or in the Uncertainty and Sensitivity notebook. It is recommended that a Table be added in PRA-PI-IGN with the mean frequencies, 5% bound and 95% bound. FQ-A2-01 Dual unit trip assumption Open This SR states: For each fire scenario selected per the FSS requirements that will be quantified as a contributor to fire-induced plant CDF and/or LERF, IDENTIFY the This finding involves the assumption that a dual unit trip is considered for each fire initiator. Since comprehensive cable tracing for all systems that could result in a plant trip Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-37 Table V-1 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding F&O Topic Status Issue Disposition specific initiating event or events (e.g., general transient, LOOP) that will be used to quantify CDF and LERF. The quantification process currently assumes BOTH units experience a Reactor Trip with loss of PCS [Power Conversion System] for EVERY scenario. Although it is reasonable to assume a Single Unit reactor trip with loss of PCS is initiated by each fire initiator, assuming a dual unit trip is overly restrictive, and is masking real risk insights. Although it is not possible to determine the potential impacts of a fire in all PAUs because not all cables were traced, there are a number of obvious PAUs that can be more realistically evaluated. These include PAUs like Containment and ECCS pump rooms, where opposite Unit cables would not realistically expected to be present. For these types of PAUs, at a minimum, the assumption of a dual unit trip needs to be re-evaluated. has not been done, it cannot be assured that a fire in a compartment on one unit will not also affect the other unit. The prudent approach is to make a moderately conservative assumption to bound the range of possibilities. One enhancement that has been made was to eliminate an opposite unit trip for a containment fire. This correction had only a very minimal impact on overall risk results and did not have any impact on FRE results since the opposite unit from a containment fire does not credit recovery actions. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks are updated to completely address the issue. FQ-B1-02 Other Affected SRs FQ-A1, FQ-A3, FQ-A4, FSS-D2 Computer code verification and validation Open This SR has look backs to the Internal Events QU [Quantification] SRs. QU-B1 provides requirements for ensuring that computer codes used in the analysis have demonstrated to generate appropriate results when compared to those from accepted algorithms and with ensuring that method-specific limitations and features of software used in the quantification process that could impact the results are identified. This Finding is related to understanding the capabilities of software products that are used to support the Fire PRA. Various software products were used to support the Fire PRA analysis, including the Plant Risk-Informed Systems Model (PRISM) and the NUREG 1805 spreadsheets. As stated in the Finding, PRISM is an EPM developed software used for associating Fire PRA model basic events to fire areas based Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-38 Table V-1 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding F&O Topic Status Issue Disposition This F&O does not address standard quantifying software (CAFTA, FTREX, etc.), but rather it focuses on non-standard software which is used in the quantification process. Per discussions with EPM and Xcel Energy personnel the following non-standard software is used in the quantification process: PRISM - This EPM developed software is used for associating basic events to fire areas based on the fire location, equipment location, cable routing, etc. This software is also used to create the flag files used in the quantification process for "failing" specific target sets based upon the associations performed by the software. EPM has also developed a spreadsheet based on NUREG-1805 for performing FDT evaluations, but no validation of this software could be located. This software is subject to the requirements of QU-B1. Since this software directly impacts the development of the fire impacts, they directly impact the results and insights of the Fire PRA. As such, any errors in the software can have a significant impact on results, and the software needs to be V&Ved. Any limitations of the software also need to be identified and discussed. Ensure the software is V&Ved in accordance with standard site Software Quality on the fire location, equipment location, cable routing, etc. The outputs of PRISM (i.e. Flag files that support the quantification of each fire scenario) have been reviewed for acceptability as they are incorporated in the Fire PRA quantification. As stated in the Finding, NUREG-1805 spreadsheets were used to support the PINGP Fire PRA. The plume hot gas layer spreadsheets that were used to support the PINPG Fire PRA account for increased plume temperatures caused by entrainment of hot gas into the plume in a compartmentalized fire. In a compartmentalized fire, where a hot gas layer begins to form, the ambient temperature used in the plume temperature calculation may be higher than the original room temperature, particularly in the upper portion of the plume. To account for this phenomenon, EPM developed two spreadsheets that conservatively use the upper layer temperature of the evaluated scenario as the ambient temperature for the centerline plume temperature calculation. This was accomplished by combining the NUREG 1805 Chapter 9 - Estimating Centerline Temperature of a Buoyant Fire Plume spreadsheet with the hot gas layer calculation that is appropriate for the room being evaluated, (i.e., Chapter 2.1 - Predicting Hot Gas Layer Temperature and Smoke Layer Height in a Room Fire with Natural Ventilation for compartments with Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-39 Table V-1 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding F&O Topic Status Issue Disposition Assurance Procedures, and identify any software limitations. openings, or Chapter 2.3 - Predicting Hot Gas Layer Temperature in a Room with Door Closed (Revision 1805.1, Issued August 2005) for closed compartments. The spreadsheets developed by EPM employ the same closed form correlations and variable input values contained in the above referenced spreadsheets. No new methods were created by use of the NUREG-1805 spreadsheets. Resolution of this finding involves the inclusion of software (i.e. PRISM and the combined NUREG-1805 spreadsheets) into the NSPM Software Quality Assurance (SQA) program. The current Fire PRA analysis used to support the LAR has been delivered to NSPM by EPM under the vendor's quality process. NSPM will incorporate applicable software products into their SQA program as the Fire PRA is accepted into the NSPM process. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks are updated to completely address the issue.

See 4-2.13 and DEVELOP a defined basis to support the claim of non applicability of any of the requirements under the sections in Part 2. There are several identified fire scenarios that have been removed from the quantification results. These scenarios were removed to prevent the skewing of the importance calculations. This removal was noted in the notebook so that when detailed analysis of the removed scenarios was performed the removed scenarios would be included in the total CDF and LERF. Perform the detailed analysis for the scenarios that were removed and include the new results in the CDF and LERF. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks are updated to completely address the issue.

There are several tables and sections in the notebook which are incomplete. There are discussions about uncertainty and truncation, but they are based on the incomplete tables and sections in the notebook. Ensure that all tables and section of the notebook are complete. Update the uncertainty discussion and truncation study in the notebook to reflect the final information [sic]. issues discussed in the peer review Finding, the parametric uncertainty analysis is covered in Section 5.10 of the Fire Quantification notebook, while the truncation analysis is discussed in Section 5.9 of the Fire Quantification notebook. Also, the qualitative uncertainties are discussed in the Uncertainty Analysis notebook. The Fire Quantification notebook that was completed to support the peer review contained the necessary sections to address what was captured in the peer review Finding. Relevant sections from the peer reviewed Fire Quantification notebook have been updated via an amended PRA Calculation to be consistent with the Fire PRA analysis that was used to support the NFPA 805 LAR. Documentation updates are needed to consolidate the peer reviewed quantification notebook and the amended Fire Quantification PRA Calculation. This documentation upgrade will not affect the results of the Fire PRA. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks are updated to completely address the issue. UNC-A1-01 Discussion of uncertainty introduced by assumptions Open This SR requires in part: "PERFORM the uncertainty analysis in accordance with HLR-QU-E and its SRs" which include QU-E1, QU-E2, QU-E3, and QU-E4. This element With regards to the specific issues that were identified within the Finding, the following information is provided: Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-42 Table V-1 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding F&O Topic Status Issue Disposition has not been satisfied. There are a number of assumptions and sources of uncertainty which were not identified or which were identified but whose impact was not provided. Examples of areas of uncertainty which should be addressed further include: HRR values used, non-suppression probabilities used, choices of target sets, location of instrument air headers relative to fire scenarios and fire impacts due to soldered joint failures. Other examples include the issue discussed in F&O IGN-A1-01, regarding a comparison of new vs. old ignition frequencies; the issue discussed in F&O FSS-A5-02, regarding parameter uncertainty evaluations required for category two for SR FSS-H5. It was assumed that containment heat removal is not required for success in any scenario; this assumption was not explored. Additionally Table 2 in the uncertainty notebook is confusing. The information associated with how kerite was treated, and the basis for the treatment is unclear, and the potential impacts of the assumptions which were made about kerite on the model were not identified. Some aspects of required search for, and characterization of, sources of uncertainty / assumptions have not been performed completely. Non-Suppression Probabilities: The non-suppression probabilities are taken directly from NUREG-6850 Supplement 1 without modification. Target Sets: Target sets were chosen using accurate drawings and item locations verified by visual inspection, so this was not included in model uncertainty. Instrument Air: See resolution to Finding PRM-A1-02 above. Ignition Frequencies: See resolution to Finding IGN-A1-01 above. Containment Heat Removal: Credit containment heat removal was dispostioned within the internal events PRA analysis. The thermal hydraulic analysis is also valid for the fire PRA and determined that Containment heat removal is not required. Kerite Cable: The assumption that fire damage of Kerite cable would occur at 400F (thermoplastic damage temperature) was conservative. Per the closure memo for FAQ 08-0053, Kerite-FR Cable Failure Thresholds, Kerite FR is a thermoset material and the lower damage threshold should be 477F. Thus uncertainty was introduced by this assumption and introduced conservatism into the model results. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-43 Table V-1 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding F&O Topic Status Issue Disposition Address the specifically cited examples, and search all main Fire PRA reports for assumptions. If additional items are found then list them and address them. The resolution of this finding involves reviewing the Fire PRA documentation and including all assumptions in the Uncertainty and Sensitivity notebook. Completing this analysis is not expected to have an affect on the Fire PRA results, but a better understanding of the sources of uncertainty. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks are updated to completely address the issue. UNC-A2-01 Quantitative uncertainty analysis incorporating all input parameters Open This SR says: INCLUDE the treatment of uncertainties, including their documentation, as called out in SRs PRM-A4, FQ-F1, IGN-A10, IGN-B5, FSS-E3, FSS-E4, FSS-H5, FSS-H9, and CF-A2 and that required by performing Part 2 referenced requirements throughout this Standard. Some of these back-referenced SR's appear not to be met: FSS-E3 requires "Provide a mean value of, and a statistical representation of, the uncertainty intervals for the parameters used for modeling the significant fire scenarios." Statistical representations of the uncertainty intervals for the parameters used for modeling significant fire scenarios were identified for HRA, data, and ignition frequencies. However uncertainty information was not provided for other parameters. The resolution of this finding involves reviewing the Fire PRA documentation to identify each source of uncertainty and characterize how it could impact the Fire PRA in the Uncertainty and Sensitivity notebook. Completing this analysis is not expected to have an affect on the Fire PRA results, but a better understanding of the sources of uncertainty. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks are updated to completely address the issue. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-44 Table V-1 Fire PRA Peer Review - Facts and Observations Finding F&O Topic Status Issue Disposition FSS-E4 requires "PROVIDE a characterization of the uncertainties associated with cases where cable routing has [Note (1)] been assumed based on SRs CS-A10 and/or CS-A11. NOTE: (1) Uncertainties associated with cases where cable routing was assumed may be associated with the exact location of the cables with respect to the ignition sources, and fire-resistance characteristics and fire protection (e.g., fire-resistant covers) of the cables." However; No characterization of uncertainties associated with cable routing was identified. (assumptions re. conduit for example). FSS-H5 requires "Document fire modeling output results for each analyzed fire scenario, including the results of parameter uncertainty evaluations (as Performed) in a manner that facilitates Fire PRA applications, upgrades, and peer review." However, no parameter uncertainty evaluations were identified. Uncertainty information has not been developed for a number of important parameters. This makes it impossible to provide a complete understanding of the uncertainty of the results. Provide more detailed characterizations of uncertainty for the identified elements. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-45 Table V-2 Fire PRA-Summary of Category I and Not Met SRs SR Capability Category Topic Status CS-A10 CC I As identified in Finding CS-A10-01, a limited number of Fire Areas did not have specific cable routing information available. Open item No. 1 on Page 17 of 17 of FPRA-PI-CS, Revision C, states that "in order to fully comply with Capability Category II, cables that are routed through fire compartments 2A, 41B-1, 46A, 58A, 58B, 58C, 58D, 76A, 78E, 86, 94A, 94B, 94C, 94D, 94E, and 94F need to be identified. This will be accomplished by identifying routing on electrical drawings, and with walkdowns performed as needed." Since this has not yet been completed, and the methodology not specified, this SR is provisionally met.
Route cables through the listed fire compartments, and perform walkdowns to confirm accuracy of the routing. Utilize EPM Division Procedure EPM-DP-EP-005, Revision 1-Post-Fire Safe Shutdown Cable Routing and Component Location, and EPM Division Procedure EPM-DP-EP-004, Revision 2-Post Fire Safe Shutdown Cable Identification-February 2011. Current CC: Met CC I
This issue involves the lack of specific routing information for cables through fire compartments (physical analysis units or PAUs) versus Fire Areas. As a result, damage to cables for additional equipment is assumed to occur beyond what is actually located in the compartment, making the risk results for these compartments conservative.
Although this is a conservative approach, the results of the Fire PRA have shown to be acceptable. For example, Fire Risk Evaluations for Fire Areas 2, 41B and 58 show delta risk results that are also conservatively higher, but meet established acceptance criteria. Since the results for these FREs meet the criteria established this level of conservatism is acceptable.
This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks and analysis are updated to completely address this issue. CS-B1 CC I As identified in FPRA-PI-CS, Appendix R overcurrent coordination and protection analysis has been reviewed but the analysis of additional circuits identified during the Fire PRA is currently in progress and is therefore not complete. Appendix R Breaker Coordination study has been reviewed. Additional breaker coordination is still being performed. Current CC: Met CC I This issue involves completing the coordination studies that were on-going at the time of the peer review. A final coordination study has not been Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-46 Table V-2 Fire PRA-Summary of Category I and Not Met SRs SR Capability Category Topic Status completed for the power supplies credited within the Fire PRA Model. Subsequent modifications will be performed to resolve outstanding coordination issues that are relevant to the Fire PRA.
The Fire PRA assumes that there are not any coordination issues with the power supplies that are credited in the Fire PRA model. Resolution of coordination issues is captured in Attachment S of the LAR.

CS-C4 Not Met As identified in FPRA-PI-CS, Appendix R overcurrent coordination and protection analysis has been reviewed but the analysis of additional circuits identified during the Fire PRA is currently in progress and is therefore not complete. Appendix R Breaker Coordination study has been reviewed. Additional breaker coordination is still being performed. Current CC: Not Met This issue involves completing the coordination studies that were on-going at the time of the peer review.

This finding is considered open until the Fire Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-47 Table V-2 Fire PRA-Summary of Category I and Not Met SRs SR Capability Category Topic Status PRA notebooks and analysis are updated to completely address this issue. FSS-B2 CC I Per Procedure EPM-DP-RSD-005, the MCR abandonment scenarios were developed to bound the risk in the main control room. This meets the standard at the CC-I level. Additionally, Section 9.2.1 of FPRA-PI-MCR, Main Control Room Analysis, Revision B (page 33 of 79) uses a bounding assumption associated with how the probability of a fire starting near a target is determined, which is acceptable for a bounding analysis, but will need to be revisited in order to ensure the MCR risk is realistically characterized. Current CC: Met CC II The current MCR technical analysis and documentation that supports the Fire PRA was found to be consistent with NUREG/CR-6850 methods. There were no changes to the conclusions of the MCR analysis as a result of this Finding. The MCR analysis quantifies fire scenarios that lead to control room abandonment and non-abandonment.
This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks and analysis are updated to completely address this issue. FSS-C8 Not Met There is no discussion of mechanical damage or direct flame impingement. There is also no discussion in the notebooks of the wrap being qualified but there is justification in the self assessment. The justification from the self assessment should be included in one of the fire notebooks. Also, a confirmatory walkdown to ensure fire wrap is not damaged, and supporting documentation would be needed. Current CC: Met CC I/II/III
This issue deals with the documentation related to how fire wraps were credited in the Fire PRA. Raceway fire wraps that are credited in the Fire PRA are fully qualified via fire testing. The wraps credited were installed and are currently inspected and maintained in accordance with the plant fire protection program. Accordingly, the fire resistance rating and application of these wraps is considered acceptable for the Fire PRA. Fire wraps are not credited in the Fire PRA for high hazard sources (i.e. high energy arcing fault (HEAF)).
Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-48 Table V-2 Fire PRA-Summary of Category I and Not Met SRs SR Capability Category Topic Status Updates to applicable documentation are still needed to ensure it is clear how the affects of mechanical damage or direct flame impingement are handled in the Fire PRA. This documentation update will not affect the results of the Fire PRA. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks and analysis are updated to completely address this issue. FSS-D9 CC I The self-assessment states that no equipment was felt to be sensitive to smoke damage therefore no evaluation for smoke damage effects was performed. An assumption that no smoke damage occurs needs to be justified. Current CC: Met CC II/III
As discussed in the disposition of Finding FSS-D9-01 in Table V-1, the current analysis accounts for the affects of smoke damage. Updates to applicable documentation are still needed to ensure it is clear how the affects of smoke damage were accounted for. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks and analysis are updated to completely address this issue. FSS-F3 CC I At the time of the review, Table 22 on page 31 of 34 in report FPRA-PI-SS, Revision A, has not been completed and a quantitative assessment has not been done. The quantitative assessment table exists in the report but needs the values for CDF and LERF entered into it. This SR is considered met at a CC I level because Table 19 in notebook PINGP-FPRA-PI-SS provides fire scenario frequencies that will be used in the quantification task. Current CC: Met II/III
The fire scenarios developed in the Structural Steel notebook were examined, and it was determined all fire scenarios contained initiators that were previously evaluated during compartment analysis. Their anticipated damage targets were then compared with the Plant Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-49 Table V-2 Fire PRA-Summary of Category I and Not Met SRs SR Capability Category Topic Status Damage States (PDS) already assigned to the initiators. The plant damage states were found to be equal to or bounding for all target sets determined in the Structural Steel notebook. Therefore, no new scenarios need to be added into the quantification task, as existing scenarios already evaluate all initiators and damage states found during the structural steel-fire interaction analysis. The resolution of this finding is documentation related and will not affect the results of the Fire PRA.
This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks and analysis are updated to completely address this issue. FSS-G6 Not Met Requirement is to quantify the risk contribution of any selected multi-compartment fire scenarios consistent with the FQ requirements. Quantification seems generally similar to FQ. It is noted that CCDPs are assumed to be 1 for combined areas. Multi-compartment fire CCDPs currently add up to mid-E-4 range, this is conservative. Need realistic evaluations for unscreened scenarios. No LERF information is provided, need to provide LERF. Current CC: Met II/III Realistic estimates of multi-compartment CCDPs and CLERPs were developed following the peer review. These new results have been incorporated into the Fire PRA and are reflected in the final quantification results.
This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks and analysis are updated to completely address this issue. FSS-H5 CC I There were two (2) Findings that were issued against Supporting Requirement FSS-H2. Finding FSS-H5-01 identified that the Detailed Compartment Analysis notebook was cumbersome and difficult to interpret. Finding FSS-H5-02 identified that the Detailed Compartment Analysis notebook did not include detailed documentation related to scenario specific parameter uncertainty evaluations. Current CC: Met I Resolution of this finding involves suggested improvements to documentation for the Fire PRA. Since no change to the model is required, Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-50 Table V-2 Fire PRA-Summary of Category I and Not Met SRs SR Capability Category Topic Status Fire PRA results are not affected. Further enhancements to the Detail Compartment Analysis notebook are needed to show compliance with Capability Category II.
This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks and analysis are updated to completely address this issue. IGN-B5 Not Met Although there is a section in the Ignition Frequency notebook entitled Assumptions, it does not appear to be complete. Current CC: Not Met Resolution of this finding involves suggested improvements to documentation that would consolidate all the assumptions that could affect the Fire Ignition Frequency notebook. Since no change to the model is required, Fire PRA results are not affected. This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks and analysis are updated to completely address this issue. FQ-A2 Not Met The quantification process currently assumes BOTH units experience a Reactor Trip with loss of PCS for EVERY scenario. Although it is reasonable to assume a reactor trip with PCS is initiated by each fire initiator, assuming a dual unit trip is overly restrictive, and is masking real risk insights. A review of "opposite unit" equipment failures needs to be performed to determine if a dual unit trip is realistic, and if it is not - then do not assume one. Current CC: Met I/II/III Since comprehensive cable tracing for all systems that could result in a plant trip has not been done, it cannot be assured that a fire in a compartment on one unit will not also affect the other unit. The prudent approach is to make a moderately conservative assumption to bound the range of possibilities. An opposite unit trip for a containment fire was eliminated from the model. Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment V - Fire PRA Quality PINGP Page V-51 Table V-2 Fire PRA-Summary of Category I and Not Met SRs SR Capability Category Topic Status This correction had only a very minimal impact on overall risk results and did not have any impact on FRE results since the opposite unit from a containment fire does not credit recovery actions.
This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks and analysis are updated to completely address this issue. FQ-E1 Not Met There are several identified fire scenarios that have been removed from the quantification results. These scenarios were removed to prevent the skewing of the importance calculations. This removal was noted in the notebook so that when detailed analysis of the removed scenarios was performed the removed scenarios would be included in the total CDF and LERF. Current CC: Met I/II/III All scenarios, and especially the most risk significant ones have been revised to add further detail and credit fire modeling and mitigation. All scenarios are now included in the final results.
This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks and analysis are updated to completely address this issue. FQ-F1 Not Met This SR is not met due to the fact that the Quantification notebook contains many areas that are not complete (Tables 5-9, 5-10, 5-11, etc.). There is a good discussion of the top cutsets. Current CC: Not Met
The Fire Quantification notebook that was completed to support the peer review contained the necessary sections to address what was captured in the peer review Finding.

Documentation updates are needed to consolidate the peer reviewed quantification notebook and the amended Fire Quantification PRA Calculation. This documentation upgrade will not affect the results of the Fire PRA.
This finding is considered open until the Fire PRA notebooks and analysis are updated to completely address this issue. UNC-A1 Not Met Task discussions and Table 2 in UNC notebook provide identification of some sources of model uncertainty. However the team identified additional sources which should be explored. Task discussions and Table 2 in the UNC notebook provide identification of some assumptions. However, the team determined that assumptions were stated or implied in the various notebooks which were not addressed. The uncertainty intervals associated with parameter uncertainties were estimated and an estimate of the uncertainty interval of the CDF results was prepared. Some potential sources of uncertainty were neglected.
Referenced SR QU-E4 states: "For each source of model uncertainty and related assumption identified in QU-E1 and QU-E2, respectively, IDENTIFY how the PRA model is affected (e.g., introduction of a new basic event, changes to basic event probabilities, change in success criterion, introduction of a new initiating event) [Note (1)]."

Fire PRA Insights 31 Pages Attached Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment W - Fire PRA Insights PINGP Page W-2 W.1 Fire PRA Overall Risk Insights Risk insights were documented as part of the development of the Fire PRA. The total plant fire CDF/LERF was derived using the NUREG/CR-6850 methodology for Fire PRA development, and is useful in identifying the areas of the plant where fire risk is greatest. The risk insights generated were useful in identifying areas where specific contributors might be mitigated via modification. A detailed description of significant risk sequences associated with the fire initiating events that individually represent any sequences contributing more than 1% of the calculated fire risk for the plant was prepared for the purposes of gaining these insights which included the contribution from MSO combinations. These insights are provided in Tables W-1 through W-4. Fire scenarios were selected based on the definition of 'significant accident sequence' from RG 1.200, Revision 2: Significant accident sequence: A significant sequence is one of the set of sequences, defined at the functional or systemic level that, when ranked, compose 95% of the CDF or the LERF/LRF, or that individually contribute more than ~1% to the CDF or LERF/LRF. There are 38 fire scenarios comprising 71% of the total Unit 1 fire CDF that contribute more than 1% to the total on an individual basis. These scenarios are presented in Table W-1. There are 12 fire scenarios comprising 63% of the total Unit 1 fire LERF that contribute more than 1% to the total on an individual basis. These scenarios are presented in Table W-2. There are 28 fire scenarios comprising 56% of the total Unit 2 fire CDF that contribute more than 1% to the total on an individual basis. These scenarios are presented in Table W-3. There are 28 fire scenarios comprising 72% of the total Unit 2 fire LERF that contribute more than 1% to the total on an individual basis. These scenarios are presented in Table W-4. For each scenario, Tables W-1 through W-4 identify a Conditional Core Damage Probability (CCDP) and Conditional Large Early Release Probability (CLERP) which are combined with a Fire Ignition Frequency (IF) to determine CDF and LERF values. W.2 Risk Change Due to NFPA 805 Transition In accordance with the guidance in Regulatory Position 2.2.4.2 of RG 1.205 Revision 1: "The total increase or decrease in risk associated with the implementation of NFPA 805 for the overall plant should be calculated by summing the risk increases and decreases for each fire area (including any risk increases resulting from previously approved recovery actions). The total risk increase should be consistent with the acceptance guidelines in Regulatory Guide 1.174. Note that the acceptance guidelines of Regulatory Guide 1.174 may require the total CDF, LERF, or both, to evaluate changes where the risk impact exceeds specific guidelines. If the additional risk associated with previously approved recovery actions is greater than the acceptance guidelines in Regulatory Guide 1.174, then the net change in total plant risk incurred by any proposed alternatives to the deterministic criteria in NFPA 805, Chapter 4 (other than the previously approved recovery actions), should be risk-neutral or represent a risk decrease." Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment W - Fire PRA Insights PINGP Page W-3 The PINGP fire area risk summary is provided in Tables W-5 (Unit 1) and W-6 (Unit 2). Delta CDF and Delta LERF From Tables W-5 and W-6, the total additional risk due to recovery actions is:
- 9.00E-06/rx-yr / 8.69E-07/rx-yr, respectively for Unit 1 CDF and LERF* 8.87E-06/rx-yr / 9.57E-07/rx-yr, respectively for Unit 2 CDF and LERFThis risk increase due to Recovery Actions shown above is below the threshold for Region II of RG 1.174, Revision 2 Figures 4 and 5, which are 1E-5/rx-yr (DCDF) and 1E-6/rx-yr (DLERF). In addition, plant modifications were identified that reduce the cumulative DCDF and DLERF. The credit for these modifications is included in both variant and compliant cases in Tables W-5 and W-6. These modifications were incorporated into the Fire PRA Model to reduce the overall risk. Incorporation of these modifications also eliminated much of the risk impact for several Variances from Deterministic Requirements (VFDRs). The risk benefit from these modifications can be used to offset the additional risk due to recovery actions shown above. The risk benefit was estimated within a sensitivity study by eliminating two modifications (low leakage RCP seals and incipient detection for cabinets in the Relay Room (FA18)) from the variant case. The resulting risk reduction due to including these modifications is shown below:
- 2.50E-04/rx-yr / 2.35E-05/rx-yr, respectively for Unit 1 CDF and LERF* 2.41E-04/rx-yr / 3.10E-05/rx-yr, respectively for Unit 2 CDF and LERFWhen risk reduction from these modifications is combined with the additional risk due to recovery actions, the result is a net risk decrease associated with the transition to NFPA 805. Therefore, the total change in risk associated with the transition to NFPA 805 represents a risk decrease, and the acceptance criteria of RG 1.174 are met. Total CDF and LERF Although not required for a net risk decrease, total plant risk is estimated in order to provide additional perspective.
The total plant risk is lower than the RG 1.174 limits for total plant risk of 1E-04/yr for CDF or 1E-05/yr for LERF. More specifically, the total plant risk estimated by summing the contributions from internal events (including internal floods), fires, and estimates for external events yield a total plant CDF and LERF of approximately 8.43E-05/rx-yr / 4.00E-06/rx-yr, respectively for Unit 1 and 9.84E-05/rx-yr / 7.15E-06/rx-yr, respectively for Unit 2. These numbers are below the 1E-04/yr and 1E-05/yr thresholds for CDF and LERF, respectively.
Both the internal events and internal flooding contribution to total plant risk are values from a sensitivity study that credits a plant modification and procedure changes that are listed in Attachment S. These changes include installation of Shutdown Reactor Coolant Pump seals, development of a process to depressurize the Reactor Coolant Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment W - Fire PRA Insights PINGP Page W-4 System and use alternate low pressure makeup sources. Without crediting these described changes, the total plant risk would exceed the RG 1.174 limits noted above.

The symbol designates CDF and LERF values that are insignificant because of their low numerical value. In most cases, the CDF and LERF values were not determined because the cutsets were below the truncation limit for quantification. The CDF and LERF values for all recovery actions are included as part of the FRE CDF and LERF values. Thus, the column "Additional risk of RAs" shows the contribution of recovery actions to the FRE CDF and LERF values and is not a separate, extra risk. It can be seen that for some fire areas, the FRE CDF and LERF value is dominated by the additional risk of recovery actions, or can be attributed in its entirety to such recovery actions. In a few cases, VFDRs were identified in a fire area that were resolved by proposed modifications. For these areas, an FRE was not quantified.]]
