Emergency Power System Doug Phelps Risk Reduction Measures Doug Phelps For Information Only 3 Introduction Chris Wasik Regulatory Affairs Manager, Oconee Nuclear Station For Information Only 4 Keowee Generator Stator Project Keowee Hydro Station commissioned in 1971 2008 - 2009 preventative maintenance inspections identified aging mechanisms in rotor pole assemblies 2009 Duke Energy started planning efforts to refurbish/overhaul both Keowee generators First phase refurbished/replaced all 56 generator field poles on each KHU *KHU-2 performed January 2014 *KHU-1 performed July 2014 Second phase is to replace stator for each KHU *KHU-1 scheduled January 2018 *KHU-2 scheduled January 2019 5 For Information Only Keowee Generator Stator Project 6 For Information Only Keowee Generator Stator Project Licensing Background NRC approved LAR for one-time extended TS Completion Time to allow KHU rotor pole rewind work on January 8, 2014 ONS plans to request a one-time extended TS Completion Time to allow stator on each KHU to be replaced Similar justification will be provided for stator LAR 7 For Information Only Proposed Technical Specification Change Current TS 3.8.1 C - KHU aligned to the overhead path inoperable *Cumulative 45 day Completion Time to restore inoperable KHU over a 3 year period The License Amendment Request (LAR) will request a one-time 55 day Completion Time for each KHU to allow stator replacement 8 For Information Only Keowee Generator Stator Project Doug Phelps Critical Systems Engineering Director Oconee Nuclear Station 9 For Information Only Keowee Generator Stator Project 10 For Information Only Implementation Strategy Original strategy was a standard rewind, estimated to require a 100-120 day Technical Specification (TS) Allowed Outage Time (AOT) Alternate strategy was developed based on benchmark trip Benchmark plant strategy was to pre-build stator remote to unit Feasibility study was conducted to determine if a pre-build strategy was viable for Keowee Study concluded pre-build stator strategy was feasible and reduces the required TS AOT by ~50% ONS selected option to pre-build the stator in an assembly building to minimize required TS AOT As a result, the scope of the project expanded to include: *New Frames *Stator Assembly Building *Powerhouse Modifications *Heavy hauling from the assembly facility to the powerhouse and haul path evaluation Keowee Generator Stator Outage Timeline 11 For Information Only Start Finish 55 Days - Total Work Window 2 days - Dewater Dual KHU Outage 24 days physical work, generator

restoring KHU associated U/G Path PSW Power System available* and capable of providing power to the SSF *commercial power feed during dual KHU outage, Keowee or commercial power feed during single KHU outage Risk Reduction Measures - Regulatory Commitments Duke Energy will commit to the following: ONS will not start the extended single KHU outage or a dual KHU outage if severe weather conditions are forecast within the next two days. ONS will contact the system load dispatcher once per day to ensure no significant grid perturbations (high grid loading not able to withstand a single contingency of line or generation outage) are expected during extended TS completion time. ONS will avoid component testing or maintenance of safety systems and important non safety equipment in the offsite power systems that can increase the likelihood of a plant transient (unit trip) or LOOP. In addition, no discretionary switchyard maintenance will be performed. ONS will verify that TS required systems, subsystems, trains, components, and devices that depend on the remaining power sources are operable and preclude subsequent nondiscretionary testing or maintenance activities on these systems, subsystems, trains, components, and devices during the extended TS completion time. ONS will control the steam-driven emergency feedwater pump(s) as "protected" equipment during the extended TS completion time. ONS will continuously staff the SSF during the dual KHU outages in which the intake is de-watered. 23 For Information Only Other Risk Reduction Measures Critical Activity Plan, approved by the Plant Operations Review Committee prior to implementation, used for risk management. Plan will include the following risk reduction measures: LCT and Central Switchyard protected 2nd LCT protected and available within one hour Two Jocassee Hydro Units available either of which can be aligned to the Oconee 230kV Yellow Bus in approximately one hour Temporary DG located at Keowee Hydro Station with capability to restore available KHU unit to operable status within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> from dual KHU outage Reduced RCS Inventory not permitted during dual KHU outage PSW available to backup SSF FLEX equipment available 24 For Information Only Summary Stator replacement is needed and will improve equipment reliability for emergency power system *Stator replacement outages scheduled for January 2018 and January 2019 Additional diverse backup power sources result in electrical system defense-in-depth that provides level of protection equivalent with Branch Technical Position guidelines Additional risk reduction measures will be implemented and managed by critical activity plan Staff approval of LAR is essential to allow Duke Energy to implement KHU reliability improvements 25 For Information Only 26
