: 2. NRC SER dated July 2, 2019, St. Lucie Plant, Unit Nos . 1and2 - Issuance of Amendment Nos. 247 and 199 Regarding Adoption of Risk-Informed Completion Times in Technical Specifications ADAMS Accession No. ML19113A099 In the Reference 1, FPL submitted an exigent request for an amendment to Facility Operating License No. DPR-67 for St. Lucie Unit 1 for Nuclear Regulatoiy Commission (NRC) approval. | |||
FPL requested a change in the allowed outage time (AOT) for an inoperable emergency diesel generator (EDG). The current AOT allowed by Technical Specification (TS) 3/4.8.1 Action bis 14 days. FPL is requesting a one-time AOT extension for a total of 30 days. | |||
On July 22, 2019, a teleconference was held between the NRC and FPL to discuss clarifications the Staff required to complete their review. FPL captured these requests and this correspondence provides responses to the NRC's questions in attachment 1. Additionally, satisfying the request to include the compensatory action commitments within the proposed TS required changes to the proposed TS changes. Attachment 2 provides a markup of the affected TS, and Attachment 3 provides the word processed TS change. Additionally, in order to minimize risk, consistent *with defense-in-depth philosophy, FPL is also requesting to suspend monthly testing of EDGs 1A, 2A, and 2B per TS surveillance requirements (SRs) 4.8. i.1.2.a.1, 4.8.1.1.2.a.2, 4.8 .1.1.2.a.3, 4.8.1.1.2.a.5, 4.8.1.1.2.a.6, 4.8.1.1.2.b.1, and 4.8.1.1.2.c. for the duration of the proposed extended AOT. The suspended surveillance testing of ED Gs 1A, 2A, and 2B will resume and be completed within seven days of the planned expiration of the extended AOT. These TS changes are also reflected in attachments 2 and 3. | |||
Note that although the proposed TS includes reference to the Risk Informed Completion Time program, the RICT requirements will remain under administrative hold pending full implementation of the RICT amendment of Reference 2. | |||

Flood hazards for St. Lucie were re-evaluated and submitted to the NRC via FPL letter L-2015-048 dated March 10, 2015. This letter documents that the probable maximum storm surge (PMSS) water level associated with hurricanes was determined to be at EL+l8.3 ft-PSL datum, which is below the level forthe Unit 1 and Unit 2 EDG buildings and equipment as shown above. | |||
The St. Lucie flood hazards were re-evaluated for local intense precipitation events (LIP) and submitted to the NRC via FPL Letter L-2016-027 dated February 18, 2016. This evaluation documents that the local flood levels remain below the Unit 1 and 2 EDG operating floor and door levels. Therefore, LIP events have no adverse effects on EDG availability. | |||

RICT RAI discussed including the latest bounding plant-level seismic risk as part of RICT calculations. | Response : | ||
Why is it not needed for this application? | Seismic risk at PSL is evaluated at plant-level with CDF and LERF of 3.49E-6 per year and 3.49E-07 per year, respectively. Consequently, incremental seismic risk is assumed to have no impact on the considered configuration . However, for the purpose of this submittal, if a seismic risk impact equivalent to the plant-level values is added to delta CDF/LERF, the overall risk impact due to the considered configuration is still below the RG 1.177 limits for one-time CT change NRC Question: NRC requested confirmation that FLEX is not credited | ||
Response: Seismic risk at PSL is evaluated at plant-level with CDF and LERF of 3.49E-6 per year and 3.49E-07 per year , respectively. Consequently, incremental seismic risk is assumed to have no impact on the considered configuration. | |||

L-2019-149 Attachment 1 Page 7of10 NRC Question: | NRC Question: NRC questioned what is credited or not in the ICCDP. It seems to be different from the estimate in the RICT LAR (14-day max in Enclosure 2}. | ||
Could you explain the model changes you listed in attachment 3.0, Section 3.0? Explain the changes associated with station blackout cross ties. Response | |||
There were no model changes made to the baseline model to produce the application-specific model configuration. | ===Response=== | ||
The baseline model and the application-specific model are the same PRA model but with different runs to consider the referenced EDG is out of service. The bulleted items represent the assumptions that were considered when calculated the configuration-specific results. The referenced methods associated with the station blackout cross ties are already credited in the model and assumed available when needed.

Why is LERF 3 orders of magnitude lower than CDF? Response | ===Response=== | ||
There were no model changes made to the baseline model to produce the application-specific model configuration. The baseline model and the application-specific model are the same PRA model but with different runs to consider the referenced EDG is out of service. The bulleted items represent the assumptions that were considered when calculated the configuration-specific results. The referenced methods associated with the station blackout cross ties are already credited in the model and assumed available when needed. It was also assumed that these cross ties are protected by compensation measures and thus no further treatment oftheir availability, or unavailabiltiy, were considered beyond those considered in the baseline calculation . | |||
The LERF data input was obtained from different version of the model. The FRANX model was rerun and the new LERF numbers are in alignment and show a one order of magnitude lower than the CDF.

Subject:
Exigent Technical Specification Amendment Request RAI Reply One-Time Allowed Outage Time Extension for Inoperable EDG
Reference:
- 1. FPL Letter L-2019-147 dated July 19, 2019, "Exigent Technical Specification Amendment Request One-Time Allowed Outage Time Extension for Inoperable EDG." ADAMS Accession No. ML19200A283
- 2. NRC SER dated July 2, 2019, St. Lucie Plant, Unit Nos . 1and2 - Issuance of Amendment Nos. 247 and 199 Regarding Adoption of Risk-Informed Completion Times in Technical Specifications ADAMS Accession No. ML19113A099 In the Reference 1, FPL submitted an exigent request for an amendment to Facility Operating License No. DPR-67 for St. Lucie Unit 1 for Nuclear Regulatoiy Commission (NRC) approval.
FPL requested a change in the allowed outage time (AOT) for an inoperable emergency diesel generator (EDG). The current AOT allowed by Technical Specification (TS) 3/4.8.1 Action bis 14 days. FPL is requesting a one-time AOT extension for a total of 30 days.
On July 22, 2019, a teleconference was held between the NRC and FPL to discuss clarifications the Staff required to complete their review. FPL captured these requests and this correspondence provides responses to the NRC's questions in attachment 1. Additionally, satisfying the request to include the compensatory action commitments within the proposed TS required changes to the proposed TS changes. Attachment 2 provides a markup of the affected TS, and Attachment 3 provides the word processed TS change. Additionally, in order to minimize risk, consistent *with defense-in-depth philosophy, FPL is also requesting to suspend monthly testing of EDGs 1A, 2A, and 2B per TS surveillance requirements (SRs) 4.8. i.1.2.a.1, 4.8.1.1.2.a.2, 4.8 .1.1.2.a.3, 4.8.1.1.2.a.5, 4.8.1.1.2.a.6, 4.8.1.1.2.b.1, and 4.8.1.1.2.c. for the duration of the proposed extended AOT. The suspended surveillance testing of ED Gs 1A, 2A, and 2B will resume and be completed within seven days of the planned expiration of the extended AOT. These TS changes are also reflected in attachments 2 and 3.
Note that although the proposed TS includes reference to the Risk Informed Completion Time program, the RICT requirements will remain under administrative hold pending full implementation of the RICT amendment of Reference 2.

L-2019-149 Page2 The St. Lucie Onsite Review Group reviewed this submittal and concluded that operation of St.
Lucie Unit 1 in accordance with the proposed change will not endanger the health and safety of the public. The LAR justification and the exigent nature of the request remain unchanged. The responses to the RAis and revisions to the proposed TS changes do not affect the conclusions of the No Significant Hazards Consideration evaluation provided in Reference 1.
Additionally, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.91(b)(1), FPL is sending a copy of this letter and enclosure to the Florida Department of Health.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

FPL commits to implementing the following compensatory measures du ring the extended AOT:
- 1. The availability of AAC power sources shall be checked every 8-12 hours (once per shift). If an alternate AC (AAC) power source (e.g., a Unit 2 emergency diesel generator (EDG)) becomes unavailable any time during extended AOT, the unit shall start shutting down within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
- 2. No elective load threatening tests or maintenance activities will be allowed (e.g., component testing or maintenance of safety systems and important non safety equipment in the offsite power systems which can increase the likelihood of a plant transient (unit trip or loss of offsite power (LOOP))).
- 3. Any other preplanned maintenance will be rescheduled if severe weather conditions are anticipated.
- 4. The system load dispatcher will be contacted once per day to ensure no significant grid perturbations (high grid loading unable to withstand a single contingency of line or generation outage) are expected during the extended AOT.
From the St. Lucie procedure that implements the Configuration Risk Management Program, the following risk management actions (RMAs) are required while in the extended AOT:
- Conduct a plant fire protection walkdown of the areas that could impact EDG availability, offsite power availability, or the ability to use the SBO crosstie prior to entering the extended AOT.
- Perform a thermographic examination of high risk potential ignition sources in the Cable Spreading Room and the Control Room prior to entering the extended AOT.
- Restrict planned hot work in the Cable Spreading Room and Control Room during the extended AOT.
- Establish a continuous fire watch in the Cable Spreading Room when in the extended AOT.
- A Unit 2 EDG or the SBO crosstie shall only be removed from service for corrective maintenance required to ensure or restore operability of the equipment.
- Ensure that the relevant Guarded Equipment protected train measures have been taken.
- Validate availability of the minimum required fire detection and/or functional suppression systems in the identified important Fire Zones to be protected by plant procedures. If not met, then initiate fire watches in the affected zones in accordance with the Fire Protection Plan.
- Brief operators and fire team members on the significance of a fire in the identified important fire zones to be protected .
In addition to the above compensatory measures, existing plant procedures address monitoring weather conditions, and ensuring that actions are taken in the event adverse conditions are expected on-site. These actions are relevant during severe weather, tornado, or hurricane watches or warnings and include housekeeping, flooding, and high wind preparation considerations. Also, the procedure places the unit outside the EDG limiting condition of operation (LCO) applicability for operating units (i.e., MODES 1 or 2) by directing a shutdown based on the hurricane category. Upon issuance of a watch or warning which impacts the site, the following actions will be executed as required by the procedures for the watch or warning in effect:
L-2019-149 Attachment 1 Page 2of10
- Perform site walk-downs and eliminate or secure missile hazards.
- Secure exterior cranes.
- Ensure Unit 1 and Unit 2 Reactor Auxiliary Building (RAB) exterior doors are closed.
- Ensure storm drain system capacity and the basin influent and discharge are clear of blockages.
- Verify RAB storage tanks have capacity for storm drainage.
- Deploy the portable diesel fire pump for dewatering.
- Perform a shiftly tail board with Operations Fire Team members to discuss the location of the fire equipment that has been relocated per plant procedures.
- Obtain meteorological forecasts and data from the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida at least once per six hours during either a Hurricane Watch or a Hurricane Warning and enter in the narrative log.
- Shutdown to at least HOT STANDBY (for Category 1, 2, or 3 hurricanes) or COLD SHUTDOWN (for Category 4 or 5 hurricanes) at least two hours prior to the onset of hurricane force winds at the site.
NRC Question: What are the Licensing Bases for SBO Timing?
Response
Section 15.10 of the Unit 2 UFSAR contains the SBO analysis. This analysis shows that St. Lucie Unit 2 can successfully endure a complete loss of AC power for at least 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />. However, it is expected that AC power would be restored within 30 minutes to one hour as a result of either one of the following corrective actions:
- a. Offsite power is restored;
- b. One or both of the St. Lucie Unit 2 diesel generators are started.
No credit is given for Unit 1 EDGs, but the DC coping capability is further enhanced by the ability to provide power to the one division of the Class lE distribution system from the available Unit 1 EOG. Even though the amount of power available to Unit 2 loads under a Station Blackout scenario (only one EOG operation on Unit
- 1) is limited by plant procedures_ ~s not to affect Unit 1 safe shutdown, it can be used to power selected loads, i.e., battery chargers, certain fans, etc.
Section 15.2.13 of the Unit 1 UFSAR contains the SBO analysis. As stated, Unit 1 is a four-hour SBO coping plant. At 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />, the DC coping period is assumed to end when the Unit 14160V lAB bus and Unit 2 4160V 2AB bus are manually connected and AC power is available to Unit 1, based on excess Unit 2 EOG capacity.
After 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />, either offsite power is restored or one or both St. Lucie Unit 1 EDGs are started, thus terminating the event.
L-2019-149 Attachment 1 Page 3of10 NRC Question: What is the Licensing Basis for the required EDG capacity during SBO conditions?
Response
The Unit 1 and Unit 2 Section 3.1.5 requirements for EDG capability during SBO conditions is that in the unlikely event of a station blackout in one unit, i.e., total loss of AC power on-site and off-site, both units can be electrically connected, under administrative control, such that a diesel generator set from the non-blacked out unit is able to provide power to the minimum loads required to maintain both units in a hot standby condition.
NRC Question: Describe how the EDGs are protected from external flooding events.
Response :
Seismic Category I SSCs are protected from the effects of high water levels and wave run up through:
- Design to withstand such effects
- Positioning to preclude inoperability
- Housing within waterproof structures The plant grade around the structures is approximate EL +18.5 ft-PSL datum. Structures are flood protected up to EL +19.5 ft-PSL datum. Any exterior doors and penetrations below EL +19.5 ft-PSL datum which lead to areas containing safety-related equipment are watertight. All permanent door openings in the exterior walls of the RAB, fuel handling building, and diesel generator building are provided with either roll-up or swing-type doors for protection from rain, wind, and other atmospheric effects. Doors are furnished with continuous, adjustable rubber stripping at jambs, head, and floor to provide a positive weather-tight closure.
For Unit 1, the two diesel oil storage tank foundations have a top elevation of EL +22.2 ft-PSL datum and are surrounded by a 1-ft thick reinforced concrete retaining wall extending to EL +24.5 ft-PSL datum. The operating floor of the Unit 1 diesel generator building is at EL +22.67 ft-PSL datum. The Unit 1 diesel tank essentially has a concrete half-wall surrounding it which provides flood protection up to EL +24.5 ft-PSL datum .
For Unit 2, the diesel generator build ing floor and equipment are above EL +22 ft-PSL datum and no openings below EL +22.67 ft-PSL datum . The Diesel Oil Storage Tank Building have no openings below EL
+29.5 ft-PSL datum.
Flood hazards for St. Lucie were re-evaluated and submitted to the NRC via FPL letter L-2015-048 dated March 10, 2015. This letter documents that the probable maximum storm surge (PMSS) water level associated with hurricanes was determined to be at EL+l8.3 ft-PSL datum, which is below the level forthe Unit 1 and Unit 2 EDG buildings and equipment as shown above.
The St. Lucie flood hazards were re-evaluated for local intense precipitation events (LIP) and submitted to the NRC via FPL Letter L-2016-027 dated February 18, 2016. This evaluation documents that the local flood levels remain below the Unit 1 and 2 EDG operating floor and door levels. Therefore, LIP events have no adverse effects on EDG availability.
L-2019-149 Attachment 1 Page 4of10 Justification for suspending EDG surveillances during the extended AOT Monthly surveillance testing of the opposite train EDG would require entry into Technical Specification Action 3.8.l.l.e. to restore one of the inoperable diesel generators to OPERABLE status within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> or be in at least HOT STANDBY within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and in HOT SHUTDOWN within the following 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />.
During monthly surveillance testing EDG is inoperable during the following evolutions:
- manually aligning the Diesel Oil Storage Tank for recirculation for verification of the Diesel Oil Transfer Pump and sampling per Diesel Fuel Oil Program;
- barring the EOG (may be waived with the opposite train EOG out of service); and
- while paralleled to offsite power via the 4.16 KV bus. When the EDG breaker is CLOSED, the loss of voltage and degraded voltage relay protection is blocked and NOT available to protect the EOG from an overload condition due to a grid or system disturbance.
The following TS surveillance requirements (SRs) are met by performance of the monthly surveillance procedure: 4.8.1.1.2.a.1, 4.8.1.1.2.a.2, 4.8.1.1.2.a.3, 4.8.1.1.2.a.5, 4.8.1.1.2.a.6, 4.8.1.1.2.b.l, and 4.8.1.1.2.c.
In order to minimize risk, consistent with defense-in-depth philosophy, FPL is requesting to suspend monthly testing of EDGs lA, 2A, and 2B per SR 4.8.1.1.2.a.1, 4.8.1.1.2.a.2, 4.8.1.1.2.a.3, 4.8.1.1.2.a.5, 4.8.1.1.2.a.6, 4.8.1. 1.2.b.l, and 4.8.1.1.2.c during the proposed extended AOT.
FPL proposes that until EOG 1B is returned to OPERABLE status, not to exceed 0736 EST on August 14, 2019, performance of the above SRs for EDGs lA, 2A, and 2B may be suspended. Past due surveillances will be completed within 7 days of restoration of EOG 1B operability or August 21, 2019, whichever occurs first.
The following asterisk will be added to the applicable TSs with the note below. Markups and Word Processed changes are provided in attachments 2 and 3.
- Until EDG 1B is returned to OPERABLE status, not to exceed 0736 EDT on August 14, 2019, performance of this SR for EDGs lA, 2A, and 2B may be suspended. Past due surveillances will be completed within 7 days of restoration of EDG 1B operability or August 21, 2019, whichever occurs first.

L-2019-149 Attachment 1 Page 6of10 NRC Question: Discuss the status of implementation items for this application and the impact to the application - [Very Early Warning Fire Detection System (VEWFDS} and whether or not its credited for this application]
Response
- VEWFDS is not credited in the Unit 1 Fire PRA. Consequently, there is no impact for this application.
- Note, VEWFDS is credited in the Unit 2 Fire PRA, which incorporates NUREG 2180. However, the Unit 2 PRA has no impact for this application.
NRC Question: RICT RAI discussed including the latest bounding plant-level seismic risk as part of RICT calculations. Why is it not needed for this application?
Response :
Seismic risk at PSL is evaluated at plant-level with CDF and LERF of 3.49E-6 per year and 3.49E-07 per year, respectively. Consequently, incremental seismic risk is assumed to have no impact on the considered configuration . However, for the purpose of this submittal, if a seismic risk impact equivalent to the plant-level values is added to delta CDF/LERF, the overall risk impact due to the considered configuration is still below the RG 1.177 limits for one-time CT change NRC Question: NRC requested confirmation that FLEX is not credited
Response
FPL did not credit FLEX in the PRA evaluation for the extended EDG AOT. While FLEX equipment and strategies remain available and would be utilized if needed, they are not specifically identified in any compensatory actions.
NRC Question: NRC questioned what is credited or not in the ICCDP. It seems to be different from the estimate in the RICT LAR (14-day max in Enclosure 2}.
Response
The FPL LAR for RICT utilized the draft Fire PRA model. The Fire PRA update made during implementation of the self-approval model included refinements that improved the overall risk. Examples include NU REG 2169 and 2178.
L-2019-149 Attachment 1 Page 7of10 NRC Question: Could you explain the model changes you listed in attachment 3.0, Section 3.0? Explain the changes associated with station blackout cross ties.
Response
There were no model changes made to the baseline model to produce the application-specific model configuration. The baseline model and the application-specific model are the same PRA model but with different runs to consider the referenced EDG is out of service. The bulleted items represent the assumptions that were considered when calculated the configuration-specific results. The referenced methods associated with the station blackout cross ties are already credited in the model and assumed available when needed. It was also assumed that these cross ties are protected by compensation measures and thus no further treatment oftheir availability, or unavailabiltiy, were considered beyond those considered in the baseline calculation .

L-2019-149 Attachment 1 Page 9of10 NRC Question: Why is LERF 3 orders of magnitude lower than CDF?
Response
Previously fire risk results were obtained using aggregate baseline cutsets resulting from quantifying all fire scenarios at high truncation. The LERF data input was obtained from different version of the model. The FRANX model was rerun and the new LERF numbers are in alignment and show a one order of magnitude lower than the CDF.

Response
PER NRC Letter dated 12/15/17 (ML17325B360):
"The NRC staff concludes, based on the information provided by FPL, that adequate margin exists for the reevaluated LIP mechanism. The NRC staff agrees that the licensee's estimation of water accumulation is conservative. The staff also finds that the hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loading analysis performed on power block structures was done using appropriate engineering codes and standards and the resultant loads are relatively low and are not expected to negatively impact such structures. Therefore, the NRC staff concludes that the licensee has demonstrated that adequate and reliable passive features exist to provide flood
L-2019-149 Attachment 1 Page 10of10 protection of key SSCs and maintain key safety functions as defined in Appendix B of NE/ 16- 05, Rev 1.
3.2.3 Overall Site Response The licensee does not rely on any personnel actions or new modifications to the plant in order to respond to the LIP event. As described above, the licensee's evaluation relied on passive existing flood protection features to demonstrate adequate flood protection; therefore, there is no need to review overall site response".
Based on this NRC letter, and the current plant design, no unique PRA model for external flooding scenarios is required to assess configuration risk for this application.
