1 1 Diablo Canyon Power Plant Offsite PowerJanuary 24, 2013Washington DC Pacific Gas and Electric Company Al Bates Gregg Reimers Michael Richardson Jeff Summy 2 2 Diablo Canyon Power Plant 3Agenda*High level overview of Diablo Canyon offsite power system*Changes to the Auxiliary offsite power circuit (500 kV) being considered*Grid changes to the 230 kV transmission network being considered*Impacts to the December 29, 2009 license amendment request related to delayed offsite power circuit conformance with GDC 17 Overview of Offsite Power Systems*The Transmission Grid (Western Interconnect) at DCPP provides power at two voltage levels. *The immediately available preferred (offsite) power circuit is supplied power via the 230 kV transmission

network.-Two incoming transmission lines-Cross-tie capability between the two units*The delayed preferred (offsite) power circuit is supplied power via the 500 kV transmission network.-Three incoming transmission lines 4

• "Each of these circuits shall be designed to be available in sufficient time following a loss of all onsite alternating current power supplies and the other offsite electric power circuit, to assure that specified acceptable fuel design limits and design conditions of the reactor coolant pressure boundary are not exceeded

"-Added discussion on RCP seal performance*Response to RAIs submitted November 22, 2011-Addressed technical and licensing basis questions 17 18 18Impacts to the December 29, 2009 LAR*Withdraw existing LAR (Short term)-Submit letter committing to new LAR when determination made*Submit new LAR (Option 1) (Longer term)-Similar to previous LAR with the following changes-Credit for alternate AC diesel

-Credit for RCP shutdown seals

-Revisions to UFSAR

-Several other plants licensed with delayed access, including DCPP 19 19Impacts to the December 29, 2009 LAR*Submit new LAR for changes (Option 2) (Longer term)-Two immediate offsite power circuits-Generator Output Breakers

-Other alternative?

-Startup (230 kV) backup to Aux (500 kV)-New load shed logic to facilitate single Startup transformer via unit crosstie for dual unit trip-Revisions to UFSAR and TS / TS Bases 20 20 Summary*PG&E will provide a commitment to resubmit aLAR prior or concurrent to withdrawal of the current request*A new LAR would be submitted to address delayed circuit licensing basis and/or proposed modifications*230 kV transmission improvements will provide additional capacity / flexibility and address system load
