REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ASSOCIATED WITH NEAR-TERM TASK FORCE RECOMMENDATION 2.3, FLOODING WALKDOWNS On March 12, 2012, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff issued a letter requesting additional information per Title 1 0 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 50.54(f) (hereafter called the 50.54(f) letter). The 50.54(f) letter requested that licensees conduct flooding hazard walkdowns to verify the plant configuration with the current licensing basis. The licensees stated by letter that the flooding walkdowns would be performed in accordance with Nuclear Energy Institute 12-07, "Guidelines for Performing Verification Walkdowns of Plant Flood Protection Features," May 2012. Following the NRC staff's initial review of the walkdown reports, regulatory site audits were conducted at a sampling of plants. Based on the walkdown report reviews and site audits, the staff identified additional information necessary to allow the staff to complete its assessments.

Determination and documentation of available physical margin (APM)  
REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Flooding Walkdowns On March 12, 2012, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff issued a letter (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML12053A340) requesting additional information per Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 50.54(f) (hereafter called the 50.54(f) letter).

The NRC staff observed that several licensees did not consistently determine and/or document available physical margin (APM) in a manner that met the expected interpretation of NEI 12-07 during audits associated with review of the NTTF Recommendation  
The NRC staff observed that several licensees did not consistently determine and/or document available physical margin (APM) in a manner that met the expected interpretation of NEI 12-07 during audits associated with review of the NTTF Recommendation 2.3 report submittals. APM is defined in section 3.13 of NEI 12-07 and the process for obtaining and evaluating APM values is described in section 5.8 of NEI 12-07. Consistent with NEI 12-07, a numerical value for APM should be determined and documented for every applicable flood protection feature (e.g., wall, penetration, berm, door, etc.). This would normally be a numerical value reflecting the difference between the licensing basis flood height at the location of the feature and the point at which the function of the flood protection feature is compromised (e.g., the top of a barrier or the height of the first unsealed penetration in a barrier) such that the resulting flood can affect a structures, systems, and components important to safety. Next, in accordance with Section 5.8 of NEI12-07, if the APM appears to be small and the consequences of flooding appear to be significant, the licensee should enter the condition into the CAP and appropriate action be taken. While NEI 12-07 does not require that a specific numerical threshold value for "small" APM be defined for each site, doing so establishes a consistent basis for determining what instances need to be entered into the CAP. If a numerical APM value cannot be determined for any flood protection feature, the licensee should perform an assessment of the ability of the barrier to withstand the licensing basis flood plus the contribution of the additional water corresponding to the pre-established small-margin threshold value. If the barrier can withstand this flood, the APM for the feature is "not small" and further evaluation in accordance with Section 5.8 of NEI 12-07 is not required. It is further noted that conclusions regarding "large" values of APM should be based on engineering evaluations or existing design documents.
Licensees should ensure that the process for APM determination and evaluation used during their flooding walkdowns is consistent with the guidance in NEI 12-07. The intent of this RAI is not to repeat the flooding walkdowns or perform an extensive revision of the walkdown record Enclosure 1

Instead the purpose is to verify or modify the process used to determine APM such that every site is aware of the margin at each of its flood protection features and take appropriate interim actions when the APM is small and the consequences are significant.

Request:
APM is defined in section 3.13 of NEI 12-07 and the process for obtaining and evaluating APM values is described in section 5.8 of NEI 12-07. Consistent with NEI 12-07, a numerical value for APM should be determined and documented for every applicable flood protection feature (e.g., wall, penetration, berm, door, etc.). This would normally be a numerical value reflecting the difference between the licensing basis flood height at the location of the feature and the point at which the function of the flood protection feature is compromised (e.g., the top of a barrier or the height of the first unsealed penetration in a barrier) such that the resulting flood can affect a structures, systems, and components important to safety. Next, in accordance with Section 5.8 of NEI12-07, if the APM appears to be small and the consequences of flooding appear to be significant, the licensee should enter the condition into the CAP and appropriate action be taken. While NEI 12-07 does not require that a specific numerical threshold value for "small" APM be defined for each site, doing so establishes a consistent basis for determining what instances need to be entered into the CAP. If a numerical APM value cannot be determined for any flood protection feature, the licensee should perform an assessment of the ability of the barrier to withstand the licensing basis flood plus the contribution of the additional water corresponding to the pre-established small-margin threshold value. If the barrier can withstand this flood, the APM for the feature is "not small" and further evaluation in accordance with Section 5.8 of NEI 12-07 is not required.
Please provide the following:
It is further noted that conclusions regarding "large" values of APM should be based on engineering evaluations or existing design documents.
: 1. Confirmation that the process for evaluating APM was reviewed;
Licensees should ensure that the process for APM determination and evaluation used during their flooding walkdowns is consistent with the guidance in NEI 12-07. The intent of this RAI is not to repeat the flooding walkdowns or perform an extensive revision of the walkdown record Enclosure 1  forms and other paperwork.
: 2. Confirmation that the APM process is now or was always consistent with the guidance in NEI 12-07 and discussed in this RAI;
Instead the purpose is to verify or modify the process used to determine APM such that every site is aware of the margin at each of its flood protection features and take appropriate interim actions when the APM is small and the consequences are significant.
: 3. If changes are necessary, a general description of any process changes to establish this consistency;
Instances where numerical values for APM were not determined, or where the basis for the APM was found to be questionable, should be rectified by either the documentation of a specific value or an explanation of why a non-numerical value is appropriate.
: 4. As a result of the audits and subsequent interactions with industry during public meetings, NRC staff recognized that evaluation of APM for seals (e.g., flood doors, penetrations, flood gates, etc.) was challenging for some licensees. Generally, licensees were expected to use either Approach A or Approach B (described below) to determine the APM for seals:
Request: Please provide the following:  
a) If seal pressure ratings were known, the seal ratings were used to determine APM (similar to example 2 in Section 3.13 of NEI 12-07). A numerical value for APM was documented. No further action was performed if the APM value was greater than the pre-established small-margin threshold value. If the APM value was small, an assessment of "significant consequences" was performed and the guidance in NEI 12-07 Section 5.8 was followed.
: 1. Confirmation that the process for evaluating APM was reviewed;  
b) If the seal pressure rating was not known, the APM for seals in a flood barrier is assumed to be greater than the pre-established small-margin threshold value if the following conditions were met: (1) the APM for the barrier in which the seal is located is greater than the small-margin threshold value and there is evidence that the seals were designed/procured, installed, and controlled as flooding seals in accordance with the flooding licensing basis. Note that in order to determine that the seal has been controlled as a flooding seal, it was only necessary to determine that the seal configuration has been governed by the plant's design control process since installation. In this case, the APM for the seal could have been documented as "not small".
: 2. Confirmation that the APM process is now or was always consistent with the guidance in NEI 12-07 and discussed in this RAI; 3. If changes are necessary, a general description of any process changes to establish this consistency;  
As part of the RAI response, state if either Approach A or Approach B was used as part of the initial walkdowns or as part of actions taken in response to this RAI. No additional actions are necessary if either Approach A orB was used.
: 4. As a result of the audits and subsequent interactions with industry during public meetings, NRC staff recognized that evaluation of APM for seals (e.g., flood doors, penetrations, flood gates, etc.) was challenging for some licensees.
 
Generally, licensees were expected to use either Approach A or Approach B (described below) to determine the APM for seals: a) If seal pressure ratings were known, the seal ratings were used to determine APM (similar to example 2 in Section 3.13 of NEI 12-07). A numerical value for APM was documented.
If neither Approach A orB was used to determine the APM values for seals (either as part of the walkdowns or as part of actions taken in response to this RAI), then perform the following two actions:
No further action was performed if the APM value was greater than the pre-established small-margin threshold value. If the APM value was small, an assessment of "significant consequences" was performed and the guidance in NEI 12-07 Section 5.8 was followed.
* Enter the condition into the CAP (note: it is acceptable to utilize a single CAP entry to capture this issue for multiple seals). CAP disposition of "undetermined" APM values for seals should consider the guidance provided in NEI 12-07, Section 5.8. The CAP disposition should confirm all seals can perform their intended safety function against floods up to the current licensing basis flood height. Disposition may occur as part of the Integrated Assessment. If an Integrated Assessment is not performed, determine whether there are significant consequences associated with exceeding the capacity of the seals and take interim action(s), if necessary, via the CAP processes. These actions do not need to be complete prior to the the RAI response.
b) If the seal pressure rating was not known, the APM for seals in a flood barrier is assumed to be greater than the pre-established small-margin threshold value if the following conditions were met: (1) the APM for the barrier in which the seal is located is greater than the small-margin threshold value and there is evidence that the seals were designed/procured, installed, and controlled as flooding seals in accordance with the flooding licensing basis. Note that in order to determine that the seal has been controlled as a flooding seal, it was only necessary to determine that the seal configuration has been governed by the plant's design control process since installation.
In this case, the APM for the seal could have been documented as "not small". As part of the RAI response, state if either Approach A or Approach B was used as part of the initial walkdowns or as part of actions taken in response to this RAI. No additional actions are necessary if either Approach A orB was used. If neither Approach A orB was used to determine the APM values for seals (either as part of the walkdowns or as part of actions taken in response to this RAI), then perform the following two actions:
* Enter the condition into the CAP (note: it is acceptable to utilize a single CAP entry to capture this issue for multiple seals). CAP disposition of "undetermined" APM values for seals should consider the guidance provided in NEI 12-07, Section 5.8. The CAP disposition should confirm all seals can perform their intended safety function against floods up to the current licensing basis flood height. Disposition may occur as part of the Integrated Assessment.
If an Integrated Assessment is not performed, determine whether there are significant consequences associated with exceeding the capacity of the seals and take interim action(s), if necessary, via the CAP processes.
These actions do not need to be complete prior to the the RAI response.
* Report the APM as "undetermined" and provide the CAP reference in the RAI response.
* Report the APM as "undetermined" and provide the CAP reference in the RAI response.

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ASSOCIATED WITH NEAR-TERM TASK FORCE RECOMMENDATION 2.3, FLOODING WALKDOWNS On March 12, 2012, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff issued a letter requesting additional information per Title 1 0 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 50.54(f) (hereafter called the 50.54(f) letter). The 50.54(f) letter requested that licensees conduct flooding hazard walkdowns to verify the plant configuration with the current licensing basis. The licensees stated by letter that the flooding walkdowns would be performed in accordance with Nuclear Energy Institute 12-07, "Guidelines for Performing Verification Walkdowns of Plant Flood Protection Features," May 2012. Following the NRC staffs initial review of the walkdown reports, regulatory site audits were conducted at a sampling of plants. Based on the walkdown report reviews and site audits, the staff identified additional information necessary to allow the staff to complete its assessments.

UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 December 23, 2013 To Those on the Enclosed List

SUBJECT:

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ASSOCIATED WITH NEAR-TERM TASK FORCE RECOMMENDATION 2.3, FLOODING WALKDOWNS On March 12, 2012, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff issued a letter requesting additional information per Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 50.54(f) (hereafter called the 50.54(f) letter). The 50.54(f) letter requested that licensees conduct flooding hazard walkdowns to verify the plant configuration with the current licensing basis. The licensees stated by letter that the flooding walkdowns would be performed in accordance with Nuclear Energy Institute 12-07, "Guidelines for Performing Verification Walkdowns of Plant Flood Protection Features," May 2012. Following the NRC staff's initial review of the walkdown reports, regulatory site audits were conducted at a sampling of plants.

Based on the walkdown report reviews and site audits, the staff identified additional information necessary to allow the staff to complete its assessments.

Enclosed is a request for additional information (RAI) related to flooding walkdowns. The NRC staff requests that you respond no later than January 31, 2014. If you have any questions related to the enclosed RAI or the requested submission date, please contact your assigned plant Project Manager.

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Flooding Walkdowns On March 12, 2012, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff issued a letter (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML12053A340) requesting additional information per Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 50.54(f) (hereafter called the 50.54(f) letter). The 50.54(f) letter requested that licensees conduct flooding hazard walkdowns to identify and address plant-specific degraded, nonconforming, or unanalyzed conditions through the corrective action program (CAP). All licensees stated by letter that the flooding walkdowns would be performed in accordance with Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 12-07, "Guidelines for Performing Verification Walkdowns of Plant Flood Protection Features," May 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12172A038). Following the NRC staff's initial review of the reports documenting the results of the licensees' walkdowns, regulatory site audits were conducted at a sample of plants.

Based on the walkdown report reviews and site audits, the staff identified additional information necessary to allow the staff to complete its assessments.

Determination and documentation of available physical margin (APM)

Background:

The NRC staff observed that several licensees did not consistently determine and/or document available physical margin (APM) in a manner that met the expected interpretation of NEI 12-07 during audits associated with review of the NTTF Recommendation 2.3 report submittals. APM is defined in section 3.13 of NEI 12-07 and the process for obtaining and evaluating APM values is described in section 5.8 of NEI 12-07. Consistent with NEI 12-07, a numerical value for APM should be determined and documented for every applicable flood protection feature (e.g., wall, penetration, berm, door, etc.). This would normally be a numerical value reflecting the difference between the licensing basis flood height at the location of the feature and the point at which the function of the flood protection feature is compromised (e.g., the top of a barrier or the height of the first unsealed penetration in a barrier) such that the resulting flood can affect a structures, systems, and components important to safety. Next, in accordance with Section 5.8 of NEI12-07, if the APM appears to be small and the consequences of flooding appear to be significant, the licensee should enter the condition into the CAP and appropriate action be taken. While NEI 12-07 does not require that a specific numerical threshold value for "small" APM be defined for each site, doing so establishes a consistent basis for determining what instances need to be entered into the CAP. If a numerical APM value cannot be determined for any flood protection feature, the licensee should perform an assessment of the ability of the barrier to withstand the licensing basis flood plus the contribution of the additional water corresponding to the pre-established small-margin threshold value. If the barrier can withstand this flood, the APM for the feature is "not small" and further evaluation in accordance with Section 5.8 of NEI 12-07 is not required. It is further noted that conclusions regarding "large" values of APM should be based on engineering evaluations or existing design documents.

Licensees should ensure that the process for APM determination and evaluation used during their flooding walkdowns is consistent with the guidance in NEI 12-07. The intent of this RAI is not to repeat the flooding walkdowns or perform an extensive revision of the walkdown record Enclosure 1

forms and other paperwork. Instead the purpose is to verify or modify the process used to determine APM such that every site is aware of the margin at each of its flood protection features and take appropriate interim actions when the APM is small and the consequences are significant. Instances where numerical values for APM were not determined, or where the basis for the APM was found to be questionable, should be rectified by either the documentation of a specific value or an explanation of why a non-numerical value is appropriate.

Request:

Please provide the following:

1. Confirmation that the process for evaluating APM was reviewed;
2. Confirmation that the APM process is now or was always consistent with the guidance in NEI 12-07 and discussed in this RAI;
3. If changes are necessary, a general description of any process changes to establish this consistency;
4. As a result of the audits and subsequent interactions with industry during public meetings, NRC staff recognized that evaluation of APM for seals (e.g., flood doors, penetrations, flood gates, etc.) was challenging for some licensees. Generally, licensees were expected to use either Approach A or Approach B (described below) to determine the APM for seals:

a) If seal pressure ratings were known, the seal ratings were used to determine APM (similar to example 2 in Section 3.13 of NEI 12-07). A numerical value for APM was documented. No further action was performed if the APM value was greater than the pre-established small-margin threshold value. If the APM value was small, an assessment of "significant consequences" was performed and the guidance in NEI 12-07 Section 5.8 was followed.

b) If the seal pressure rating was not known, the APM for seals in a flood barrier is assumed to be greater than the pre-established small-margin threshold value if the following conditions were met: (1) the APM for the barrier in which the seal is located is greater than the small-margin threshold value and there is evidence that the seals were designed/procured, installed, and controlled as flooding seals in accordance with the flooding licensing basis. Note that in order to determine that the seal has been controlled as a flooding seal, it was only necessary to determine that the seal configuration has been governed by the plant's design control process since installation. In this case, the APM for the seal could have been documented as "not small".

As part of the RAI response, state if either Approach A or Approach B was used as part of the initial walkdowns or as part of actions taken in response to this RAI. No additional actions are necessary if either Approach A orB was used.

If neither Approach A orB was used to determine the APM values for seals (either as part of the walkdowns or as part of actions taken in response to this RAI), then perform the following two actions:

  • Enter the condition into the CAP (note: it is acceptable to utilize a single CAP entry to capture this issue for multiple seals). CAP disposition of "undetermined" APM values for seals should consider the guidance provided in NEI 12-07, Section 5.8. The CAP disposition should confirm all seals can perform their intended safety function against floods up to the current licensing basis flood height. Disposition may occur as part of the Integrated Assessment. If an Integrated Assessment is not performed, determine whether there are significant consequences associated with exceeding the capacity of the seals and take interim action(s), if necessary, via the CAP processes. These actions do not need to be complete prior to the the RAI response.
  • Report the APM as "undetermined" and provide the CAP reference in the RAI response.
