Enclosure 1 provides an update of milestone accomplishments since the last status report, including any changes to the compliance method, schedule, or need for relief and the basis, if any. Enclosure 2 is a revision of the Mitigation Strategies Overall Integrated Plan that includes several updates. The information provided in Enclosure 2 is considered to contain information concerning physical protection not otherwise designated as Safeguards Information and is designated "Security Sensitive Information" as defined in 10 CFR 2.390 (d)(l). Accordingly, Susquehanna requests that the information provided in Enclosure 2 to the letter be withheld from public disclosure. On March 12, 2012, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC'' or "Commission") issued an order (Reference 1) to Susquehanna. Reference 1 was immediately effective and directs Susquehanna to develop, implement, and maintain guidance and strategies to maintain or restore core cooling, containment cooling, and spent fuel pool cooling capabilities in the event of a beyond-design-basis external event. Specific requirements are outlined in Attachment 2 of Reference 1. Reference 1 required submission of an initial status report 60 days following issuance of the final interim staff guidance (Reference 2) and an overall integrated plan pursuant to Section IV, Condition C.

Reference 3 provides direction regarding the content of the status reports. The Request for Relaxation contained in Reference 9 supersedes the Request for Relief made in Reference 6. The Request for Relaxation is based on NRC mandated changes to the Hardened Containment Vent System implementation dates that impact the Mitigation Strategy Overall Integrated Plan. Specifically, the change in implementation dates for the Hardened Containment Vent Order (NRC Order EA-12-050 was rescinded and superseded by NRC Order EA-13-109) impacts the Mitigation Strategy Overall Integrated Plan and implementation timeline. The NRC approved this relaxation in Reference 12.

It provides the activity status of each item, and whether the expected completion date has changed. The dates are planning dates subject to change as design and implementation details are developed.
: 4. Changes to Compliance Method Enclosure 1 to PLA-7513 Page 6of11 NRC Order EA-12-049 requires implementation of Mitigation Strategies to include procedures, guidance, training, and acquisition, staging, or installing of equipment needed for the strategies. Reference 8.1 provided Susquehanna's response to the NRC Order EA-12-049. The cover letter identifies that delays in implementing the Hardened Containment Vent System as required by NRC Order EA-12-050 will affect implementation of the Mitigation Strategies NRC Order EA-12-049 actions. The Reference 8.1 enclosure describes Susquehanna's Mitigation Strategies that are based on venting the containment using the Hardened Containment Vent System. It also describes that a modification is required to install a Hardened Containment Vent System. Thus the Susquehanna response to NRC Order EA-12-049 provided in Reference 8.1 was premised on installation and use of a Hardened Containment Vent System as required byNRC Order EA-12-050. Upon issuance ofNRC Order EA-13-109, the NRC staff changed technical and schedule requirements applicable to the Hardened Containment Vent System and rescinded the requirements of the NRC Order EA-12-050. As a result, full compliance to the Mitigation Strategies required by NRC Order EA-12-049 and described in Reference 8.1 for Susquehanna Units 1 and 2 will not be achieved until compliance with NRC Order EA-13-109 is achieved as described in Reference 8.8. This relaxation was granted in Reference 8 .11. 5. Need for Relief/Relaxation and Basis for the Relief/Relaxation Susquehanna expects to comply with NRC Order EA-12-049, but needs relaxation of the implementation dates. The specific details have been submitted in a separate document (Reference 8.8). NRC Order EA-12-049 requires implementation of Mitigation Strategies to include procedures, guidance, training, and acquisition, staging, or installing of equipment needed for the strategies. Reference 8.1 provided Susquehanna's response to the NRC Order EA-12-049. The cover letter identifies that delays in implementing the Hardened Containment Vent System as required by NRC Order EA-12-050 will also affect implementation of the Mitigation Strategies NRC Order EA-12-049 actions. The Reference 8.1 enclosure describes the Susquehanna Mitigation Strategies that is based on venting the containment using the Hardened Containment   to PLA-7513 Page 7of11 Vent System. It also describes that a modification to install a Hardened Containment Vent System is required. Thus Susquehanna's NRC Order EA-12-049 response provided in Reference 8.1 was premised on installation and use of a Hardened Containment Vent System as required by NRC Order EA-12-050. Upon issuance ofNRC Order EA-13-109, the NRC staff changed technical and schedule requirements applicable to the Hardened Containment Vent System and rescinded the requirements of the NRC Order EA-12-050. As a result, full compliance to the Mitigation Strategies required by NRC Order EA-12-049 and described in Reference 8.1 for Susquehanna Units 1 and 2 will not be achieved until compliance with NRC Order EA-13-109 is achieved. Relaxation of the NRC Order EA-12-049 IV.A.2 requirements is required and has been requested (Reference 8.8). This relaxation was granted in Reference 8 .11. 6.

: 4. Changes to Compliance Method NRC Order EA-12-049 requires implementation of Mitigation Strategies to include procedures, guidance, training, and acquisition, staging, or installing of equipment needed for the strategies.
Reference 8.1 provided Susquehanna's response to the NRC Order EA     049. The cover letter identifies that delays in implementing the Hardened Containment Vent System as required by NRC Order EA-12-050 will affect implementation of the Mitigation Strategies NRC Order EA-12-049 actions.
The Reference 8.1 enclosure describes Susquehanna's Mitigation Strategies that are based on venting the containment using the Hardened Containment Vent System. It also describes that a modification is required to install a Hardened Containment Vent System.
Thus the Susquehanna response to NRC Order EA-12-049 provided in Reference 8.1 was premised on installation and use of a Hardened Containment Vent System as required byNRC Order EA-12-050.
Upon issuance ofNRC Order EA-13-109, the NRC staff changed technical and schedule requirements applicable to the Hardened Containment Vent System and rescinded the requirements of the NRC Order EA-12-050.
As a result, full compliance to the Mitigation Strategies required by NRC Order EA-12-049 and described in Reference 8.1 for Susquehanna Units 1 and 2 will not be achieved until compliance with NRC Order EA-13-109 is achieved as described in Reference 8.8. This relaxation was granted in Reference 8 .11.
: 5. Need for Relief/Relaxation and Basis for the Relief/Relaxation Susquehanna expects to comply with NRC Order EA-12-049, but needs relaxation of the implementation dates. The specific details have been submitted in a separate document (Reference 8.8).

Seventh six-month status report pursuant to Section IV, Condition C.2, of Reference 1, that delineates progress made in implementing the requirements of Reference 1. provides an update of milestone accomplishments since the last status report, including any changes to the compliance method, schedule, or need for relief and the basis, if any. Enclosure 2 is a revision of the Mitigation Strategies Overall Integrated Plan that includes several updates. The information provided in Enclosure 2 is considered to contain information concerning physical protection not otherwise designated as Safeguards Information and is designated "Security Sensitive Information" as defined in 10 CFR 2.390 (d)(l). Accordingly, Susquehanna requests that the information provided in Enclosure 2 to the letter be withheld from public disclosure.

On March 12, 2012, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC or "Commission")

issued an order (Reference 1) to Susquehanna. Reference 1 was immediately effective and directs Susquehanna to develop, implement, and maintain guidance and strategies to maintain or restore core cooling, containment cooling, and spent fuel pool cooling capabilities in the event of a beyond-design-basis external event. Specific requirements are outlined in Attachment 2 of Reference 1.

Reference 1 required submission of an initial status report 60 days following issuance of the final interim staff guidance (Reference 2) and an overall integrated plan pursuant to Section IV, Condition C. Reference 2 endorses industry guidance document NEI 12-06, Revision 0 (Reference 3) with clarifications and exceptions identified in Reference 2.

Enclosure 2 of the Attachment contains security related information. Withhold from public disclosure under 10CFR2.390(d)(l), as other than Safeguards Information, and designated as Security Sensitive Information. When Enclosure 2 of the Attachment is separated, the remainder of the Attachment and this cover letter are decontrolled.

Enclosure 2 of the Attachment contains Security-Related information and must be protected accordingly.

Upon separation of the Enclosure 2, this letter is decontrolled.

Document Control Desk PLA-7513 Reference 4 provided Susquehanna's initial status report regarding Mitigation Strategies.

Reference 5 provided Susquehanna's initial Mitigation Strategies Overall Integrated Plan.

Reference 1 requires submission of status reports at six-month intervals following submittal of the Overall Integrated Plan. Reference 3 provides direction regarding the content of the status reports.

The Request for Relaxation contained in Reference 9 supersedes the Request for Relief made in Reference 6. The Request for Relaxation is based on NRC mandated changes to the Hardened Containment Vent System implementation dates that impact the Mitigation Strategy Overall Integrated Plan. Specifically, the change in implementation dates for the Hardened Containment Vent Order (NRC Order EA-12-050 was rescinded and superseded by NRC Order EA-13-109) impacts the Mitigation Strategy Overall Integrated Plan and implementation timeline. The NRC approved this relaxation in Reference 12. to this letter documents that Susquehanna Unit 1 and Susquehanna Unit 2 have implemented all the necessary aspects of the Overall Implementation Plan in to this letter to be considered in compliance with the requirements of NRC Order EA-12-049, except for the NRC approved Request for Relaxation (Reference 12) regarding implementation of a Severe Accident Capable Hardened Containment Vent System per NRC Order EA-13-109.

This letter contains no new or revised regulatory commitments.

1. Introduction Susquehanna Nuclear, LLC (Susquehanna) developed an Overall Integrated Plan (Reference 8.1) documenting the diverse and flexible strategies (FLEX),

in response to Reference 8.2. This Seventh Six Month Status Report provides an update of milestone accomplishments since submittal of the Sixth Six Month Status Report (Reference 8.16) related to the Overall Integrated Plan, including any changes to the compliance method, schedule, or need for relief/relaxation and the basis, if any.

[NOTE: References cited in this enclosure are contained in Section 8.]

2. Milestone Accomplishments The following milestone(s) have been completed since the development of the Overall Integrated Plan (Reference 8.1), and are current as of June 30, 2016.
  • Completed Unit 1 FLEX Implementation (except HCVS, see Ref. 8.11).
  • Full Site FLEX Implementation is complete (except HCVS, see Ref.

8.11).

3. Milestone Schedule Status The following table provides an update to Attachment 2, Milestone Schedule, of the Overall Integrated Plan. It provides the activity status of each item, and whether the expected completion date has changed. The dates are planning dates subject to change as design and implementation details are developed.

The revised milestone target completion dates do not impact the Order implementation date at this time. The Interim Staff Evaluation (ISE) from the NRC (Reference 8.9) was received in time to support implementation of the Mitigation Strategies. The Open Item and Confirmatory Items identified in the ISE were addressed by the Regulatory Audit Process. The NRC performed the Mitigation Strategies and Spent Fuel Pool Level Instrumentation Audit at Susquehanna the week of December 8th, 2014. During the Audit Exit meeting the NRC considered all Mitigation Strategies related items to be closed. The NRC's Audit Report documented the closure status of the Mitigation Strategies issues.

4. Changes to Compliance Method NRC Order EA-12-049 requires implementation of Mitigation Strategies to include procedures, guidance, training, and acquisition, staging, or installing of equipment needed for the strategies.

Reference 8.1 provided Susquehanna's response to the NRC Order EA 049. The cover letter identifies that delays in implementing the Hardened Containment Vent System as required by NRC Order EA-12-050 will affect implementation of the Mitigation Strategies NRC Order EA-12-049 actions.

The Reference 8.1 enclosure describes Susquehanna's Mitigation Strategies that are based on venting the containment using the Hardened Containment Vent System. It also describes that a modification is required to install a Hardened Containment Vent System.

Thus the Susquehanna response to NRC Order EA-12-049 provided in Reference 8.1 was premised on installation and use of a Hardened Containment Vent System as required byNRC Order EA-12-050.

Upon issuance ofNRC Order EA-13-109, the NRC staff changed technical and schedule requirements applicable to the Hardened Containment Vent System and rescinded the requirements of the NRC Order EA-12-050.

As a result, full compliance to the Mitigation Strategies required by NRC Order EA-12-049 and described in Reference 8.1 for Susquehanna Units 1 and 2 will not be achieved until compliance with NRC Order EA-13-109 is achieved as described in Reference 8.8. This relaxation was granted in Reference 8 .11.

5. Need for Relief/Relaxation and Basis for the Relief/Relaxation Susquehanna expects to comply with NRC Order EA-12-049, but needs relaxation of the implementation dates. The specific details have been submitted in a separate document (Reference 8.8).

NRC Order EA-12-049 requires implementation of Mitigation Strategies to include procedures, guidance, training, and acquisition, staging, or installing of equipment needed for the strategies.

Reference 8.1 provided Susquehanna's response to the NRC Order EA 049. The cover letter identifies that delays in implementing the Hardened Containment Vent System as required by NRC Order EA-12-050 will also affect implementation of the Mitigation Strategies NRC Order EA-12-049 actions.

The Reference 8.1 enclosure describes the Susquehanna Mitigation Strategies that is based on venting the containment using the Hardened Containment

Enclosure 1 to PLA-7513 Page 7of11 Vent System. It also describes that a modification to install a Hardened Containment Vent System is required.

Thus Susquehanna's NRC Order EA-12-049 response provided in Reference 8.1 was premised on installation and use of a Hardened Containment Vent System as required by NRC Order EA-12-050.

Upon issuance ofNRC Order EA-13-109, the NRC staff changed technical and schedule requirements applicable to the Hardened Containment Vent System and rescinded the requirements of the NRC Order EA-12-050.

As a result, full compliance to the Mitigation Strategies required by NRC Order EA-12-049 and described in Reference 8.1 for Susquehanna Units 1 and 2 will not be achieved until compliance with NRC Order EA-13-109 is achieved.

Relaxation of the NRC Order EA-12-049 IV.A.2 requirements is required and has been requested (Reference 8.8). This relaxation was granted in Reference 8 .11.

6. Open Items from Overall Integrated Plan and Draft Safety Evaluation The following tables provide a summary and status as of June 30, 2016 of the open items documented in the Overall Integrated Plan and ISE. The Open Item and Confirmatory Items identified in the ISE will be addressed by the Regulatory Audit Process. The NRC performed the Mitigation Strategies and Spent Fuel Pool Level Instrumentation Audit at Susquehanna the week of December 8th, 2014. During the Audit Exit meeting the NRC considered all Mitigation Strategies related items to be closed. The NRC's Audit Report documented the closure status of the Mitigation Strategies issues.
