1.0 DESCRIPTION
Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy) is requesting an amendment to Operating License DPR-26, Docket No. 50-247 for Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit No. 2 (IP2). The proposed Technical Specification (TS) change contained herein would revise Appendix A, TS, to allow extension of the ten-year frequency of the Type A or Integrated Leak Rate Test (ILRT) that is required by TS 5.5.15 to 15 years on a permanent basis.The specific proposed changes are listed in the following section.
2.0 PROPOSED CHANGE
S The containment leakage rate testing program in Technical Specification 5.5.15 currently says"A program shall establish the leakage rate testing of the containment as required by 10 CFR 50.54(o) and 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, Option B, as modified by approved exemptions.
This program shall be in accordance with the guidelines contained in Regulatory Guide 1.163, "Performance-Based Containment Leak-Test Program," dated September, 1995." The proposed TS 5.5.15 is as follows: "A program shall establish the leakage rate testing of the containment as required by 10 CFR 50.54(o) and 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, Option B, as modified by approved exemptions.
This program shall be in accordance with NEI 94-01, Revision 2A, "Industry Guideline for Implementing Performance-Based Option of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J," October 2008."
3.0 BACKGROUND
The testing requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, provide assurance that leakage from the containment, including systems and components that penetrate the containment, do not exceed the allowable leakage values specified in the TS. Furthermore, the requirements ensure that periodic surveillance of the containment, containment penetrations and isolation valves is performed so that proper maintenance and repairs are made during the service life of the containment, the systems and penetrations.
The limitation on containment leakage provides assurance that the containment would perform its design function following an accident up to and including the plant design basis accident.
Appendix J identifies three types of required tests: (1)Type A tests, intended to measure the containment overall integrated leakage rate; (2) Type B tests, intended to detect local leaks and to measure leakage across pressure-containing or leakage limiting boundaries (other than valves) for containment penetrations; and (3) Type C tests, intended to measure containment isolation valve leakage. Type B and C tests identify the vast majority of potential containment leakage paths. Type A tests identify the overall integrated containment leakage rate and serve to ensure continued leakage integrity of the containment structure by evaluating those structural parts of the containment not covered by Type B and C testing.
NL-14-128 Docket No. 50-247 Attachment 1 Page 2 of 19 In 1995, 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, "Primary Reactor Containment Leakage Testing for Water-Cooled Power Reactors," was amended to provide a performance-based Option B for the containment leakage testing requirements.
Option B requires that test intervals for Type A, Type B, and Type C testing be determined by using a performance-based approach.
Performance-based test intervals are based on consideration of the operating history of the component and resulting risk from its failure. The use of the term "performance-based' in 10 CFR 50, Appendix J refers to both the performance history necessary to extend test intervals as well as to the criteria necessary to meet the requirements of Option B.Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.163 was also issued in 1995. The RG endorsed NEI 94-01, Revision 0,"Industry Guideline for Implementing Performance-Based Option of 10 CFR 50, Appendix J," with certain modifications and additions.
Option B, in concert with RG 1.163 and NEI 94-01, Revision 0, allows licensees with a satisfactory ILRT performance history (i.e., two consecutive, successful Type A tests) to reduce the test frequency from the containment Type A (ILRT) test from three tests in ten years to one test in ten years. This relaxation was based on an NRC risk assessment contained in NUREG-1493, "Performance-Based Containment Leak-Test Program," and Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) TR-1 04285, "Risk Impact Assessment of Revised Containment Leak Rate Testing Intervals." These documents illustrated that the risk increase associated with extending the ILRT surveillance interval was very small.By letter dated August 7, 1996, Indian Point Unit 2 submitted a TS change request, supplemented by letter dated March 12, 1997, to implement 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, Option B. The NRC approved this request as Amendment 190 issued in NRC letter of April 10, 1997. The NRC noted the proposed TS changes were in compliance with the requirements of Option B, and are consistent with the guidance in RG 1.163. With the approval of the amendment, IP2 transitioned to a performance-based ten year frequency for the Type A tests.Entergy submitted an Amendment request to extend the ILRT interval one time from ten years to 15 years in a letter dated July 13, 2001 that was supplemented by letters dated November 30, 2001 March 13, April 3, May 30, and June 13, 2002. This one-time extension was approved by the NRC, as license Amendment 232 on August 5, 2002.By letter dated August 31, 2007, NEI submitted NEI 94-01, Revision 2, and EPRI report No.1009325, Revision 2, "Risk Impact Assessment of Extended Integrated Leak Rate Testing Intervals," to the NRC Staff for review. NEI 94-01, Revision 2, describes an approach for implementing the optional performance-based requirements of Option B, which includes provisions for extending Type A intervals to up to 15 years and incorporates the regulatory positions stated in RG 1.163. It delineates a performance-based approach for determining Type A, Type B, and Type C containment leakage rate surveillance testing frequencies.
This method uses industry performance data, plant-specific performance data, and risk insights in determining the appropriate testing frequency.
NEI 94-01, Revision 2, also discusses the performance factors that licensees must consider in determining test intervals.
The NEI guideline does not address how to perform the tests because these details are included in referenced industry documents (e.g., American National Standards institute/American Nuclear Society (ANSI/ANS) 56.8-2002).
The NRC final Safety Evaluation (SE) issued by letter dated June 25, 2008, documents the evaluation and acceptance of NEI 94-01, Revision 2, subject to the specific limitations and conditions listed in Section 4.1 of the SE. The accepted version of NEI 94-01 Rev 2A was NL-14-128 Docket No. 50-247 Attachment 1 Page 3 of 19 issued as Revision 2A dated October 2008.EPRI Report No. 1009325, Revision 2, provides a risk impact assessment for optimized ILRT intervals of up to 15 years, using current industry performance data and risk-informed guidance, primarily Revision 1 of RG 1.174, "An Approach for using Probabilistic Risk Assessment in Risk-Informed Decisions on Plant-Specific Changes to the Licensing Basis." The NRC's final SE issued by letter dated June 25, 2008, documents the evaluation and acceptance of EPRI Report No.1009325, Revision 2, subject to the specific limitations and conditions listed in Section 4.2 of the SE. An accepted version of EPRI Report No. 1009325 has subsequently been issued as Revision 2A (also identified as Technical Report TR-1 018243) dated October 2008.The proposed amendment would revise TS 5.5.14, "Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program," by replacing the reference to Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.163, "Performance-Based Containment Leak Test Program," with a reference to Nuclear Energy institute (NEI) topical report NEI 94-01,"Industry Guideline for implementing Performance-Based Option of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J," Revision 2A, dated October 2008, as the implementation document used by Entergy to develop the Indian Point 2 performance-based leakage testing program in accordance with Option B of 10 CFR 50, Appendix J (Option B).Revision 2A of NEI 94-01 describes an approach for implementing the optional performance-based requirements of Option B, including provisions for extending primary containment integrated leak rate test (ILRT) intervals to 15 years, and incorporates the regulatory positions stated in RG 1.163.In the SE issued by NRC letter dated June 25, 2008, the NRC concluded that NEI 94-01, Revision 2, describes an acceptable approach for implementing the optional performance-based requirements of Option B, and found that NEI 94-01, Revision 2, is acceptable for referencing by licensees proposing to amend their TS in regard to containment leakage rate testing, subject to the limitations and conditions noted in Section 4.0 of the SE. IPEC is not applying for the extended Type C performance based testing beyond 60 months but will be adopting the testing criteria ANSI/ANS 56.8 -2002 rather than the criteria of ANSI/ANS 56.8 -1994.The proposed extension of the interval for the primary containment ILRT, which is currently required to be performed at ten year intervals, to 15 years from the last ILRT would revise the next scheduled ILRT to March 2021 as opposed to the ILRT currently scheduled for March 2016. This is approximately 15 years since the last ILRT which was completed in April 2006.The currently proposed change would allow successive ILRTs to be performed at 15-year intervals (assuming acceptable performance history).
The performance of fewer ILRTs would result in significant savings in radiation exposure to personnel, cost, and critical path time during future refueling outages.4.0 Technical Evaluation As required by 10 CFR 50.54(o), the IP2 containment is subject to the requirements set forth in 10 CFR 50, Appendix J. Option B of Appendix J which requires that test intervals for Type A, Type B, and Type C testing be determined by using a performance-based approach.
Currently, the 10 CFR 50 Appendix J Testing Program Plan is based on RG 1.163, which endorses NEI 94-01, Revision 0. This LAR proposes to revise the 10 CFR 50, Appendix J Testing Program Plan by implementing the guidance in NEI 94-01, Revision 2A but will not extend the Type B and C leakage beyond 60 months. Testing will be performed in accordance with ANSI/ANS 56.8 -2002.
NL-14-128 Docket No. 50-247 Attachment 1 Page 4 of 19 4.1 Limitations and Conditions In the June 25, 2008 NRC SE, the NRC concluded that NEI 94-01, Revision 2, describes an acceptable approach for implementing the optional performance-based requirements of Option B, and found that NEI 94-01, Revision 2, is acceptable for referencing by licensees proposing to amend their TS in regard to containment leakage rate testing, subject to the limitations and conditions noted in Section 4.0 of the SE.The following Table 4.1 -1 lists the SE Section 4.1 Limitations and Conditions as well as compliance with each of the six limitations and conditions.

(Refer to SE Section 3.1.1.2).For plants licensed under 10 CFR Part 52, Not applicable to IP2.applications requesting a permanent extension of the ILRT surveillance interval to 15 years should be deferred until after the construction and testing of containments for that design have been completed and applicants have confirmed the applicability of NEI TR 94-01, Revision 2, and EPRI Report No. 1009325, Revision 2, including the use of past containment ILRT data.4.2 Existing Exceptions The provisions of RG 1.163 have been incorporated into NEI 94-01 Revision 2A so if there had been an exception to RG 1.63 it would remain unchanged.
4.3 Previous Test results 4.3.1 ILRT Test Results Past IP2 ILRT results have confirmed that the containment is acceptable with respect to the design criterion of 0.1% leakage of containment air weight at the design basis loss of coolant accident pressure (La). Since the last two Type A "as found" tests for IP2 had "as found" test results of less than 1.01La, a test frequency of 15 years in accordance with NEI 94-01 Revision 2A would be acceptable.
The last two tests were: 1. The last ILRT in April 2006 had a measured containment leak rate (Ltm) at the test pressure of 60.5 psia was 0.0636 % containment air weight / day with a 95% confidence level.2. The prior ILRT in June 1991 had a measured containment leak rate (Ltm) at the test pressure of 61.7 psia was 0.0478 % containment air weight / day with a 95% confidence level.For background, the prior three Type A tests had the following results:

This inspection will be performed as part of the Containment Inservice Inspection (ISI)Plan to implement the requirements of ASME, Section Xl, Subsection IWE and IWL (the applicable code edition and addenda for the fourth 10 year interval is ASME Section Xl, 2001 Edition including the 2002 and 2003 Addenda in paragraph (b)(2)).The examination performed in accordance with the ISI program to meet Subsections IWE and IWL satisfies the general visual examination requirements specified in Option B. The identification and evaluation of inaccessible areas are addressed in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(ix).
Each ten year ISI interval is divided into three approximately equal inspection periods. A minimum of one inspection required by the IWE inspection program is performed during each inspection period of the ISI period to meet the program requirements.
IWL visual examinations of accessible concrete containment surfaces are to be completed once every 5 years within the limitations specified in IWL-2410(b), (c), and (d) resulting in at least two IWL examinations being performed during a 15 year type A and typically scheduled in two of the three inspection periods of a 10 year ISI interval.
Therefore, the frequency of the examinations performed in accordance with the IWE / IWL program will satisfy the requirements of NEI 94-01 Revision 2A, Section 9.2.3.2, to perform a general visual examination before the Type A test during at least three other outages before the next Type A test if the interval is extended to 15 years. The last ILRT was performed April 2006 and the next 15 year interval will end 12 months after 2R24 scheduled for the spring of 2020. The following Tables illustrates the current and planned inspection intervals for the IP2 first and second IWE inspection intervals:

NL-14-128 Docket No. 50-247 Attachment 1 Page 11 of 19 The IWL inspections are performed per the following schedule: Table 4.4.2 IWL Inspections Inspection Interval Inspection Period IWL Inspection Dates 1 1 June 2000 1 2 June 2005 1 3 June 2010 2 1 June 2015 2 2 June 2020 For IP2 the First Interval CII Program Plan was originally effective from September 9, 1996, through and including May 9, 2010. This time period has been shortened to end on February 28, 2007. IWE Containment inservice examinations scheduled for the first 40-month period were completed during the Third Period of the Third ISI Inspection Interval.
These examinations now serve the same purpose as pre-service baseline examinations.
The required IWL inservice examinations were also completed and re-inspections are scheduled at 5 year frequency.
The Second Ten-Year Interval for IWE Containment ISI inspections at IP2 will commence on March 1, 2007 coincident with the start of the Fourth 10-Year ISI Program Interval.
Therefore, both the ISI and the CII IWE & IWL Program Plans will be aligned with the Fourth Interval ISI Program schedule and ASME Code requirements.
The following information provides the IP2 IWE examination results of the containment metal liner completed during refuel outages 2R18 (2008), 2R20 (2012) and 2R21 (2014) and the IWL examination results for the containment concrete visual inspections completed in 2005 and 2010 (these are not always completed in an outage). The next IWE examination is scheduled for 2R23 (2018) prior to the proposed date for the next ILRT. The next IWL examination is scheduled for 2016 and the inspection will also be scheduled prior to the proposed date for the next ILRT 2R24 (2020). Corrective Actions identified by these inspections are provided with the discussions.
There are no primary containment surface areas that require augmented examination in accordance with ASME Section XI, IWE-1240.4.4.1 IWE Examinations IP2 IWE containment inspection for the current fourth ISI interval was performed on 2008 -2R18 outage, 2012 -2R20 outage and 2014- 2R21 outage.Refueling Outage 2R18 (2008) Containment Inservice Inspection Examinations were performed for the Containment Surfaces (Containment Vessel Accessible Surface Areas, Bolted connections, Wall and Dome Liner and Moisture Barriers) during 2R18 in 2008. There were some deficiencies noted such as general surface corrosion, minor coating peeling/flaking, blistered paint, loose stainless steel insulation panels and buckling stainless steel insulation panels (VC liner inaccessible) at columns 10 and 11 elevation 68'.The general surface corrosion, minor coating peeling/flaking and blistered paint were previously identified and evaluated.
These conditions were a repeat of previous inspections and were minor with no change and therefore acceptable.
NL-14-128 Docket No. 50-247 Attachment 1 Page 12 of 19 The condition of the buckling locations and looseness on the VC liner plate insulation was documented in the Corrective Action Program as Condition Report CR-IP2-2008-01892.
Civil Engineering performed an inspection of the stainless steel insulation jacket and has determined that all but 2 of the insulation jacket issues are acceptable.
The two areas not acceptable were repaired during 2R1 8 outage.Refueling Outage 2R20 (2012) Containment Inservice Inspection Examinations were performed for the Containment Surfaces (Containment Vessel Accessible Surface Areas, Bolted connections, Wall and Dome Liner and Moisture Barriers) during 2R20 in 2012. Most of the findings such as surface corrosion and minor coating flaking and peeling were a repeat of previous inspections and were minor with no change and therefore acceptable.
There were also some deficiencies noted on the Electrical penetration
- 69 of the Containment Building penetrations; there was observed water seeping adjacent to penetration
- 69. This condition was documented in IP2 Corrective Action Program under Condition Report CR-1P2-2012-01760.
Civil Design engineering walked down the penetration and the water seepage is from areas where crack/delimitation repairs where performed back in 2000. The water seepage observed has no adverse effect on the penetration as it is not emanating from the penetration sleeve. The seal around the penetration is intact and the inside of the penetration itself is dry. This penetration was also looked at from the inside of the VC during the Maintenance Rule Inspection and no anomalies were observed.All of the conditions noted during this inspection did not result in any structural degradation that adversely affects the ability of the containment to perform its design function of maintaining integrity during accident conditions.
Refueling Outage 2R21 (2014) Containment Inservice Inspection Examinations were performed for the Containment Surfaces (Containment Vessel Accessible Surface Areas, Bolted connections, Wall and Dome Liner and Moisture Barriers) during 2R21 in 2014. Most of the findings were a repeat of previous inspections and were minor with no change and therefore acceptable.
All NDE examination reports were accepted during the 2014 containment inspection therefore no condition reports were generated.
4.4.2 IWL Examinations The inspections are general visual inspections performed in accordance with the requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, 1998 Edition,Section XI. Division 1, Subsection IWL as required and modified by NRC, Code of Federal Regulation, Title 10, Part 50, Section 55a, "Codes and Standards,"(10 CFR 50.55a -1999). When needed, optical enhancement equipment with zoom capabilities are used as visual aids during the inspections.
All of the inspections are performed under the direction of the IWL Responsible Engineer (RE). The RE is the Civil/Structural Design Engineering Supervisor at IPEC and a New York State Registered Professional Engineer in accordance with the IWL Procedure.
The Responsible Engineer has knowledge of the Design and Construction Codes as well as other criterion used in IP2's Containment.
Degreed engineers perform the inspections under the direction of the RE and are knowledgeable and trained in the design, evaluation and performance requirements of structures and qualified to perform visual examination either directly or remotely, with adequate illumination, to detect evidence of degradation.
NL-14-128 Docket No. 50-247 Attachment 1 Page 13 of 19 The second period of the first interval of the IP2 IWL containment inspection was performed in the spring of 2005 and documented in IP-RPT-06-00019.
Visual examinations were performed of all accessible areas of the containment building exterior concrete including areas visible from inside other surrounding buildings.
The concrete exhibited signs of normal weathering that are to be expected for the time period that it has been in service. These indications include minor cracking to due pressurization, and minor areas of spalling with exposed rebar and cadwelds.
The spalling at the cadwelds appears to be due to lack of concrete cover as a result of the cadwelds having twice the diameter as the rebar. There were also some locations of efflorescence which were determined to be unchanged since the previous inspection and thus deemed inactive.
Several areas of rust bleeding were identified but easily attributed to the lightning arrestors and the duct work and have no impact on the structural capacity of the containment building.
All together there were 91 recordable indications identified during the inspection however all of them have been evaluated and are not structural concerns.
None of the indications reduce the structural capacity or ability of the containment structure to perform its safety function.
Based on condition of inspected areas it was not deemed necessary to inspect non-accessible areas. No condition reports or work orders were required as a result of the inspection.
The third period of the first interval of the IP2 IWL containment inspection was performed in the spring of 2010 and documented in IP-RPT-10-00027.
Visual examinations were performed of all accessible areas of the containment building exterior concrete including areas visible from inside other surrounding buildings.
The concrete exhibited signs of normal weathering that are to be expected for the time period that it has been in service. These indications include minor cracking to due pressurization, and minor areas of spalling with exposed rebar and cadwelds.
The spalling at the cadwelds appears to be due to lack of concrete cover as a result of the cadwelds having twice the diameter as the rebar. There were also some locations of efflorescence which were determined to be unchanged since the previous inspection and thus deemed inactive.
Several areas of rust bleeding were identified but easily attributed to the lightning arrestors and the duct work and have no impact on the structural capacity of the containment building.
All together there were 125 recordable indications identified during the inspection which increased from the 91 identified in the previous inspection.
This is partially attributed to the ILRT performed in 2006 which caused several of the previous identified areas of potential future spalling to indeed spall. In the fall of 2009 several of the previously identified areas were cleaned and a coating was applied to protect the exposed steel from future corrosion.
All of the recordable indications identified during the inspection have been evaluated and are not structural concerns.
None of the indications reduce the structural capacity or ability of the containment structure to perform its safety function.
Based on condition of inspected areas it was not deemed necessary to inspect non-accessible areas. No condition reports or work orders were required as a result of the inspection.
4.5 Confirmatory Analysis 4.5.1 Methodology An evaluation has been performed to assess the risk impact of extending the IP2 ILRT interval from the current ten years to 15 years. This plant-specific risk assessment followed the guidance in NEI 94-01, Revision 2A, the methodology outlined in EPRI TR-1 04285, August 1994 and TR-1 009325, Revision 2A, and the NRC regulatory guidance outlined in RG 1.174 on the use of Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) findings and risk insights in support of a request to change the licensing basis of the plant. In addition, the methodology used for Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant to estimate the likelihood and risk implication of corrosion-induced leakage of steel containment liners going undetected during the extended ILRT interval was also used for sensitivity analysis.
NL-14-128 Docket No. 50-247 Attachment 1 Page 14 of 19 In their June 25, 2008, SE, the NRC concluded that a 15 year extension to the Type A ILRT interval was acceptable and that the methodology in EPRI TR-1009325, Revision 2, is acceptable for referencing in a proposal to amend TS to extend the ILRT surveillance interval to 15 years. This approval was subject to the limitations and conditions noted in Section 4.0 of the SE. The following Table 4.5-1 lists the SE Section 4.2 Limitations and Conditions and a description of how the IP2 analysis complies with those four limitations and conditions Table 4.5 -1 Limitations and Conditions of Risk IP2 Compliance Assessment The licensee submits documentation The technical adequacy of the IP2 PRA and indicating that the technical adequacy of their consistency with the RG 1.200 requirements PRA is consistent with the requirements of relevant to the ILRT extension are discussed in RG 1.200 relevant to the ILRT extension Section 4.5.2 and detailed in Appendix A of application.
Attachment 3.The licensee submits documentation The IP2 risk evaluation is summarized in indicating that the estimated risk increase Section 4.5.3 and described in detail in associated with permanently extending the Attachment
- 3. The results of that ILRT surveillance interval to 15 years is small, evaluation demonstrate that the estimated and consistent with the clarification provided risk increase is small and consistent with in Section 3.2.4.5 of this SE. Specifically, a the criteria discussed in the SE.small increase in population dose should be defined as an increase in population dose of less than or equal to either 1.0 person-rem per year or 1 percent of the total population dose, whichever is less restrictive.
In addition, a small increase in CCFP should be defined as a value marginally greater than that accepted in previous one-time 15-year ILRT extension requests.
This would require that the increase in CCFP be less than or equal to 1.5 percentage point. While acceptable for this application, the NRC staff is not endorsing these threshold values for other applications.
Consistent with this limitation and condition, EPRI Report No. 1009325 will be revised in the "-A" version of the report, to change the population dose acceptance guidelines and the CCFP guidelines.
The methodology in EPRI Report No. The IP2 analysis used a pre-existing containment 1009325, Revision 2, is acceptable except for leak rate of 1 0OLa to calculate the increase in the calculation of the increase in expected population dose for the large leak rate accident population dose (per year of reactor case (EPRI Class 3b) .(Attachment 3, Section operation).
In order to make the methodology 1.3).acceptable, the average leak rate for the pre-existing containment large leak rate accident case (accident case 3b) used by the licensees shall be 100 La instead of 35 La.

4.5.2 PRA Quality The risk assessment performed for the IP2 ILRT extension request is based on the current Level 1 and Level 2 PRA model of record, which was released in November 2011. Information developed for the license renewal effort to support the Level 2 release categories is also used in this analysis supplemented by additional calculations to more appropriately represent the intact containment case in the ILRT extension risk assessment.
A discussion of the Entergy model update process, the peer review performed on the IP2 model, the results of that peer review and the potential impact of peer review findings on the ILRT extension risk assessment are provided in Attachment 3, Section A.2.It should be noted that, while the analysis presented in Attachment 3 was performed for both IP2 and IP3, this submittal only addresses a LAR for IP2. The IP2 information presented in Attachment 3 is therefore informational only and not part of the basis for the current LAR.4.5.3 Summary of Plant-Specific Risk Assessment Results The findings of the IP2 risk assessment confirm the general findings of previous studies that the risk impact associated with extending the ILRT interval to one in 15 years is small. The IP2 plant-specific results for extending the ILRT interval to 15 years, taken from Attachment 3, Section 7.0, Conclusions, are summarized below.1. Reg. Guide 1.174 provides guidance for determining the risk impact of plant-specific changes to the licensing basis. Reg. Guide 1.174 defines "very small" changes in risk as resulting in increases of CDF below 1.OE-06/yr and increases in LERF below 1.OE-07/yr. "Small" changes in risk are defined as increases in CDF below 1.0E-05/yr and increases in LERF below 1.OE-06/yr. Since the ILRT extension was demonstrated to have no impact on CDF for IP2, the relevant criterion is LERF. The increase in internal events LERF resulting from a change in the Type A ILRT test interval for the base case with corrosion included for IP2 is estimated at 9.84E-08 /yr (see Attachment 3, Table 5.6-1A), which is within the small change region of the acceptance guidelines in Reg. Guide 1.174. In using the EPRI Expert Elicitation methodology, the change is estimated as 1.05E-08 /yr (see Attachment 3, Table 6.2-2A), which is within the very small change region of the acceptance guidelines in Reg. Guide 1.174.2. The change in dose risk for changing the Type A test frequency from three-per-ten years to once-per-fifteen-years, measured as an increase to the total integrated dose risk for all internal events accident sequences is 0.584 person-rem/yr (0.62%) using the EPRI guidance with the base case corrosion case (Attachment 3, Table 5.6-1A). The change in dose risk drops to 0.111 person-rem/yr when using the EPRI Expert Elicitation methodology (Attachment 3, Table 6.2-2A).
NL-14-128 Docket No. 50-247 Attachment 1 Page 16 of 19 3. The increase in the conditional containment failure frequency from the three in ten year interval to one in fifteen years including corrosion effects using the EPRI guidance (see Section 5.5) is 0.84% for IP2. This value drops to less that 0.10% for IP2 using the EPRI Expert Elicitation methodology (see Attachment 3 Table 6.2-2A). This is below the acceptance criteria of less than 1.5% defined Attachment 3 in Section 1.3.4. To determine the potential impact from external events, a bounding assessment from the risk associated with external events utilizing information from the IP2 IPEEEs similar to the approach used in the License Renewal SAMA analysis.
As shown in Attachment 3 Table 5.7-2A the total increase in LERF for IP2 due to internal events and the bounding external events assessment is 5.20E-07/yr.
This value is in Region II of the Reg. Guide 1.174 acceptance guidelines.
- 5. As shown in Attachment 3, Table 5.7-4, the same bounding analysis indicates that the total LERF from both internal and external risks is 6.78E-06/yr for IP2, which is less than the Reg.Guide 1.174 limit of 1.OE-05/yr given that the ALERF is in Region II (small change in risk).6. Finally, since the external events assessment led to exceeding one of the two alternative acceptance criteria (i.e. greater than 1.0 person-rem/yr, an alternative detailed bounding external events assessment was also performed to demonstrate that the alternate 1.0%person-rem/yr criterion and the other acceptance criteria could still be met. In this case, as shown in Attachment 3, Table 5.7-7 for IP2, the total change in LERF from both internal and external events was 5.52E-7/yr, the change in person-rem/yr was 3.28/yr representing 0.59%of the total, and the change in the CCFP was 0.89%. All of these calculated changes meet the acceptance criteria.
As shown in Attachment 3, Table 5.7-8, this assessment indicates that the total LERF from both internal and external risks is 2.65E-06/yr for IP2, which is less than the Reg. Guide 1.174 limit of 1.OE-05/yr given that the ALERF is in Region II (small change in risk).7. Including age-adjusted steel liner corrosion effects in the ILRT assessment was demonstrated to be a small contributor to the impact of extending the ILRT interval for IP2.Therefore, increasing the ILRT interval on a permanent basis to a one-in-fifteen year frequency is not considered to be risk significant.
Details of the IP2 risk assessment are contained in Attachment 3.4.6 Conclusion NEI 94-01, Revision 2A, describes an NRC-accepted approach for implementing the performance-based requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, Option B. It incorporates the regulatory positions stated in RG 1.163 and includes provisions for extending Type A intervals to 15 years. NEI 94-01, Revision 2A delineates a performance-based approach for determining Type A, Type B, and Type C containment leakage rate surveillance test frequencies.
IP2 is proposing to adopt the guidance of NEI 94-01, Revision 2A for the 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, testing program plan and the ANSI/ANS 56.8 -2002 standard for Type A, B and C tests..Based on the previous ILRT tests conducted at IP2, supplemented by risk analysis studies, including the IP2 risk analysis provided in Attachment 3, it may be concluded that extension of the containment ILRT interval from ten to 15 years represents minimal risk performed in accordance with Option B and inspected per the guidance NEI-94-01 Revision 2A.
NL-14-128 Docket No. 50-247 Attachment 1 Page 17 of 19 5.0 REGULATORY ANALYSIS 5.1 No Significant Hazards Consideration Entergy has evaluated the safety significance of the proposed change to the IP2 TS which revise IP2 TS 3.5.15, "Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program," to allow a permanent extension to the frequency of Type A testing based upon performance criteria.
The proposed changes have been evaluated according to the criteria of 10 CFR 50.92, "Issuance of Amendment".
Entergy has determined that the subject changes do not involve a Significant Hazards Consideration, as discussed below 1. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
Response:
No.The proposed amendment involves changes to the IP2 containment leakage rate testing program. The proposed amendment does not involve a physical change to the plant or a change in the manner in which the plant is operated or controlled.
The primary containment function is to provide an essentially leak tight barrier against the uncontrolled release of radioactivity to the environment for postulated accidents.
As such, the containment itself and the testing requirements to periodically demonstrate the integrity of the containment exist to ensure the plant's ability to mitigate the consequences of an accident do not involve any accident precursors or initiators.
Therefore, the probability of occurrence of an accident previously evaluated is not significantly increased by the proposed amendment.
The proposed amendment adopts the NRC accepted guidelines of NEI 94-01, Revision 2A, for development of the IP2 performance-based testing program for the Type A testing.Implementation of these guidelines continues to provide adequate assurance that during design basis accidents, the primary containment and its components would limit leakage rates to less than the values assumed in the plant safety analyses.
The potential consequences of extending the ILRT interval to 15 years have been evaluated by analyzing the resulting changes in risk. The increase in risk in terms of person-rem per year within 50 miles resulting from design basis accidents was estimated to be acceptably small and determined to be within the guidelines published in RG 1.174. Additionally, the proposed change maintains defense-in-depth by preserving a reasonable balance among prevention of core damage, prevention of containment failure, and consequence mitigation.
Entergy has determined that the increase in conditional containment failure probability due to the proposed change would be very small. Therefore, it is concluded that the proposed amendment does not significantly increase the consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
NL-14-128 Docket No. 50-247 Attachment 1 Page 18 of 19 2. Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?
Response:
No.The proposed amendment adopts the NRC-accepted guidelines of NEI 94-01, Revision 2A, for the development of the IP2 performance-based leakage testing program, and establishes a 15-year interval for the performance of the containment ILRT. The containment and the testing requirements to periodically demonstrate the integrity of the containment exist to ensure the plant's ability to mitigate the consequences of an accident do not involve any accident precursors or initiators.
The proposed change does not involve a physical change to the plant (i.e., no new or different type of equipment will be installed) or a change to the manner in which the plant is operated or controlled.
Therefore, the proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated.
- 3. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?Response:
No.The proposed amendment adopts the NRC-accepted guidelines of NEI 94-01, Revision 2A, for the development of the IP2 performance-based leakage testing program, and establishes a 15-year interval for the performance of the containment ILRT. This amendment does not alter the manner in which safety limits, limiting safety system setpoints, or limiting conditions for operation are determined.
The specific requirements and conditions of the containment leakage rate testing program, as defined in the TS, ensure that the degree of primary containment structural integrity and leak-tightness that is considered in the plant's safety analysis is maintained.
The overall containment leakage rate limit specified by the TS is maintained, and the Type A containment leakage tests would be performed at the frequencies established in accordance with the NRC-accepted guidelines of NEI 94-01, Revision 2A with no change to the 60 month frequencies of Type B, and Type C tests.Containment inspections performed in accordance with other plant programs serve to provide a high degree of assurance that the containment would not degrade in a manner that is not detectable by an ILRT. A risk assessment using the current IP2 PSA model concluded that extending the ILRT test interval from ten years to 15 years results in a very small change to the risk profile.Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.Based on the above, Entergy concludes that the proposed amendment to the Indian Point 2 Technical Specifications presents no significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c), and accordingly, a finding of 'no significant hazards consideration' is justified.
NL-14-128 Docket No. 50-247 Attachment 1 Page 19 of 19 5.2 Applicable Regulatory Requirements
/ Criteria The NRC Order of February 11, 1980 required an evaluation of the degree of compliance with the GDC at the time. This section discusses continued compliance with certain of those criteria.The plant will continue to meet Criterion 1 of 10 CFR 50.36 which says "Structures, systems and components important to safety shall be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety functions to be performed.
Where generally recognized codes and standards are used, they shall be identified and evaluated to determine their applicability, adequacy, and sufficiency and shall be supplemented or modified as necessary to assure a quality product in keeping with the required safety function.
A quality assurance program shall be established and implemented in order to provide adequate assurance that these structures, systems and components will satisfactorily perform their safety functions.
Appropriate records of the design, fabrication, erection, and testing of structures, systems and components important to safety shall be maintained by or under the control of the nuclear power plant licensee throughout the life of the unit' and Criterion 3 which says "Structures, systems, and components important to safety shall be designed to withstand the effects of natural phenomena such as earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, tsunami, and seiches without loss of capability to perform their safety functions.
The design bases for these structures, systems and components shall reflect: (1) appropriate consideration of the most severe of the natural phenomena that have been historically reported for the site and surrounding area, with sufficient margin for the limited accuracy, quantity, and period of time in which the historical data have been accumulated, (2)appropriate combinations of the effects of normal and accident conditions with the effects of the natural phenomena and (3) the importance of the safety functions to be performed." The extension of the duration of the ILRT for the containment will not affect the design, fabrication, or construction of the containment structure and the design will continue to account for the effects of natural phenomena.
The ILRT of the containment will continue to be done in accordance with 10 CFR 50 Appendix J using 10 CFR 50 Appendix B quality standards.
The frequency of the ILRT is being changed in accordance with standards reviewed and approved as compliant with Appendix J. Therefore there will be no instances where the applicable regulatory criteria are not met.5.3 Environmental Considerations The proposed changes to the IP2 TS do not involve (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) a significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluent that may be released offsite, or (iii) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.
Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9).
Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.
PRECEDENCE This request is similar in nature to the license amendment authorized by the NRC on April 22, 2012 for the Palisades Nuclear Plant (TAC No. ME5997, Accession Number ML120740081).

A-18 P0247130002-4722 iii Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy 1.0 PURPOSE OF ANALYSIS 1.1 PURPOSE The purpose of this analysis is to provide an assessment of the risk associated with implementing a permanent extension of the Indian Point Units 2 and 3 (IP2 and IP3)containment Type A integrated leak rate test (ILRT) interval from ten years to fifteen years.The risk assessment follows the guidelines from NEI 94-01 [1], the methodology outlined in EPRI TR-104285
[2], the EPRI Risk Impact Assessment of Extended Integrated Leak Rate Testing Intervals
[3], the NRC regulatory guidance on the use of Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) findings and risk insights in support of a request for a plant's licensing basis as outlined in Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.174 [4], and the methodology used for Calvert Cliffs to estimate the likelihood and risk implications of corrosion-induced leakage of steel liners going undetected during the extended test interval [5]. The format of this document is consistent with the intent of the Risk Impact Assessment Template for evaluating extended integrated leak rate testing intervals provided in the October 2008 EPRI final report [3].
1.2 BACKGROUND
Revisions to 10CFR50, Appendix J (Option B) allow individual plants to extend the Integrated Leak Rate Test (ILRT) Type A surveillance testing requirements from three-in-ten years to at least once per ten years. The revised Type A frequency is based on an acceptable performance history defined as two consecutive periodic Type A tests at least 24 months apart in which the calculated performance leakage was less than the normal containment leakage of 1.OLa (allowable leakage).The basis for a 10-year test interval is provided in Section 11.0 of NEI 94-01, Revision 0, and was established in 1995 during development of the performance-based Option B to Appendix J.Section 11.0 of NEI 94-01 states that NUREG-1493
[6], "Performance-Based Containment Leak Test Program," provides the technical basis to support rulemaking to revise leakage rate testing requirements contained in Option B to Appendix J. The basis consisted of qualitative and quantitative assessments of the risk impact (in terms of increased public dose) associated with a range of extended leakage rate test intervals.
To supplement the NRC's rulemaking basis, NEI undertook a similar study. The results of that study are documented in Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Research Project Report TR-104285
[2].The NRC report on performance-based leak testing, NUREG-1493, analyzed the effects of containment leakage on the health and safety of the public and the benefits realized from the containment leak rate testing. In that analysis, it was determined for a representative PWR P0247130002-4722 1-1 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy plant (i.e., Surry) that containment isolation failures contribute less than 0.1 percent to the latent risks from reactor accidents.
Because ILRTs represent substantial resource expenditures, it is desirable to show that extending the ILRT interval will not lead to a substantial increase in risk from containment isolation failures to support a reduction in the test frequency for IP2 and IP3.Earlier ILRT frequency extension submittals have used the EPRI TR-104285
[2] methodology to perform the risk assessment.
In October 2008, EPRI 1018243 [3] was issued to develop a generic methodology for the risk impact assessment for ILRT interval extensions to 15 years using current performance data and risk informed guidance, primarily NRC Regulatory Guide 1.174 [4]. This more recent EPRI document considers the change in population dose, large early release frequency (LERF), and containment conditional failure probability (CCFP), whereas EPRI TR-104285 considered only the change in risk based on the change in population dose. This ILRT interval extension risk assessment for IP2 and IP3 employs the EPRI 1018243 methodology, with the affected System, Structure, or Component (SSC) being the primary containment boundary.1.3 ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA The acceptance guidelines in RG 1.174 are used to assess the acceptability of this permanent extension of the Type A test interval beyond that established during the Option B rulemaking of Appendix J. RG 1.174 defines very small changes in the risk-acceptance guidelines as increases in core damage frequency (CDF) less than 1.OE-06 per reactor year and increases in large early release frequency (LERF) less than 1.OE-07 per reactor year. Note that a separate discussion in Section 5.8 confirms that the CDF is not impacted by the proposed change for IP2 and IP3. Therefore, since the Type A test does not impact CDF for IP2 and IP3, the relevant criterion is the change in LERF. RG 1.174 also defines small changes in LERF as below 1.OE-06 per reactor year, provided that the total LERF from all contributors (including external events)can be reasonably shown to be less than 1.OE-05 per reactor year. RG 1.174 discusses defense-in-depth and encourages the use of risk analysis techniques to help ensure and show that key principles, such as the defense-in-depth philosophy, are met. Therefore, the increase in the conditional containment failure probability (CCFP) is also calculated to help ensure that the defense-in-depth philosophy is maintained.
With regard to population dose, examinations of NUREG-1493 and Safety Evaluation Reports (SERs) for one-time interval extension (summarized in Appendix G of [3]) indicate a range of incremental increases in population dose 1 that have been accepted by the NRC. The range of 1 The one-time extensions assumed a large leak (EPRI class 3b) magnitude of 35La, whereas this P0247130002-4722 1-2 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy incremental population dose increases is from _<0.01 to 0.2 person-rem/yr and 0.002 to 0.46%of the total accident dose. The total doses for the spectrum of all accidents (Figure 7-2 of NUREG-1493) result in health effects that are at least two orders of magnitude less than the NRC Safety Goal Risk. Given these perspectives, the NRC SER on this issue [7] defines a small increase in population dose as an increase of 5 1.0 person-rem per year, or 51 0% of the total population dose, whichever is less restrictive for the risk impact assessment of the extended ILRT intervals.
This definition has been adopted by the IP2/IP3 analysis.The acceptance criteria are summarized below.1. The estimated risk increase associated with permanently extending the ILRT surveillance interval to 15 years must be demonstrated to be small. (Note that Regulatory Guide 1.174 defines very small changes in risk as increases in CDF less than 1.OE-6 per reactor year and increases in LERF less than 1.OE-7 per reactor year. Since the type A ILRT test is not expected to impact CDF for Indian Point, the relevant risk metric is the change in LERF. Regulatory Guide 1.174 also defines small risk increase as a change in LERF of less than 1.OE-6 reactor year.) Therefore, a small change in risk for this application is defined as a LERF increase of less than 1.OE-6.2. Per the NRC SE, a small increase in population dose is also defined as an increase in population dose of less than or equal to either 1.0 person-rem per year or 1 percent of the total population dose, whichever is less restrictive.
- 3. In addition, the SE notes that a small increase in Conditional Containment Failure Probability (CCFP) should be defined as a value marginally greater than that accepted in previous one-time 15-year ILRT extension requests (typically about 1% or less, with the largest increase being 1.2%). This would require that the increase in CCFP be less than or equal to 1.5 percentage points.analysis uses lOOLa.P0247130002-4722 1-3 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy 2.0 METHODOLOGY A simplified bounding analysis approach consistent with the EPRI methodology is used for evaluating the change in risk associated with increasing the test interval to fifteen years [3].The analysis uses results from a Level 2 analysis of core damage scenarios from the current IP2 and IP3 PRA analyses of record and the subsequent containment responses to establish the various fission product release categories including the release size.The six general steps of this assessment are as follows: 1. Quantify the baseline risk in terms of the frequency of events (per reactor year) for each of the eight containment release scenario types identified in the EPRI report [3].2. Develop plant-specific population dose rates (person-rem per reactor year) for each of the eight containment release scenario types from plant specific consequence analyses.3. Evaluate the risk impact (i.e., the change in containment release scenario type frequency and population dose) of extending the ILRT interval to fifteen years.4. Determine the change in risk in terms of Large Early Release Frequency (LERF) in accordance with RG 1.174 and compare this change with the acceptance guidelines of RG 1.174 [4].5. Determine the impact on the Conditional Containment Failure Probability (CCFP)6. Evaluate the sensitivity of the results to assumptions in the liner corrosion analysis and to variations in the fractional contributions of large isolation failures (due to liner breach) to LERF.Furthermore," Consistent with the previous industry containment leak risk assessments, the IP2 and IP3 assessment uses population dose as one of the risk measures.
The other risk measures used in the IP2 and IP3 assessment are the conditional containment failure probability (CCFP) for defense-in-depth considerations, and change in LERF to demonstrate that the acceptance guidelines from RG 1.174 are met." This evaluation for IP2 and IP3 uses ground rules and methods to calculate changes in the above risk metrics that are consistent with those outlined in the current EPRI methodology
[3].P0247130002-4722 2-1 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy 3.0 GROUND RULES The following ground rules are used in the analysis: " The IP2 and IP3 Level 1 and Level 2 internal events PRA models provide representative core damage frequency and release category frequency distributions to be utilized in this analysis." It is appropriate to use the IP2 and IP3 internal events PRA model as a gauge to effectively describe the risk change attributable to the ILRT extension.
It is reasonable to assume that the impact from the ILRT extension (with respect to percent increases in population dose) will not substantially differ if external events were to be included in the calculations; however, external events have been accounted for in the analysis based on the available information from the IP2 and IP3 IPEEEs [8, 9] as reported and used in the IP2 and IP3 SAMA analysis performed as part of the License Renewal efforts as described in Section 5.7." Dose results for the containment failures modeled in the PRA can be characterized by information that was prepared to support the SAMA analysis as part of the License Renewal effort [10]. This information is supplemented with revised calculations
[11]for the base case containment intact scenarios which are critical for use in the ILRT extension assessment.
- Accident classes describing radionuclide release end states and their definitions are consistent with the EPRI methodology
[3] and are summarized in Section 4.2." The representative containment leakage for Class 1 sequences is 1La. Class 3 accounts for increased leakage due to Type A inspection failures." The representative containment leakage for Class 3a is 10 La and for Class 3b sequences is 10OLa, based on the recommendations in the latest EPRI report [3] and as recommended in the NRC SE on this topic [7]. It should be noted that this is more conservative than the earlier previous industry ILRT extension requests, which utilized 35La for the Class 3b sequences." Based on the EPRI methodology and the NRC SE, the Class 3b sequences are categorized as LERF and the increase in Class 3b sequences is used as a surrogate for the ALERF metric." The impact on population doses from containment bypass scenarios is not altered by the proposed ILRT extension, but is accounted for in the EPRI methodology as a separate entry for comparison purposes.
Since the containment bypass contribution to population dose is fixed, no changes on the conclusions from this analysis will result from this separate categorization." The reduction in ILRT frequency does not impact the reliability of containment isolation valves to close in response to a containment isolation signal.* The use of the estimated 2035 population data from the MACCS2 off-site consequence runs [10, 11] is appropriate for this analysis.
This assumption is consistent with that made in the SAMA analysis.* An evaluation of the risk impact of the ILRT on shutdown risk is addressed using the generic results from EPRI TR-105189

[7]The first study is applicable because it provides one basis for the threshold that could be used in the Level 2 PRA for the size of containment leakage that is considered significant and to be included in the model. The second study is applicable because it provides a basis of the probability for significant pre-existing containment leakage at the time of a core damage accident.
The third study is applicable because it is a subsequent study to NUREG/CR-4220 that undertook a more extensive evaluation of the same database.
The fourth study provides an assessment of the impact of different containment leakage rates on plant risk. The fifth study provides an assessment of the impact on shutdown risk from ILRT test interval extension.
The sixth study is the NRC's cost-benefit analysis of various alternative approaches regarding extending the test intervals and increasing the allowable leakage rates for containment integrated and local leak rate tests. The seventh study is an EPRI study of the impact of extending ILRT and LLRT test intervals on at-power public risk. The eighth study addresses the impact of age-related degradation of the containment liners on ILRT evaluations.
EPRI 1018243 complements the previous EPRI report and provides the results of an expert elicitation process to determine the relationship between pre-existing containment leakage probability and magnitude.
Finally, the NRC Safety Evaluation (SE) documents the acceptance by the NRC of the proposed methodology with a few exceptions.
These exceptions (associated with the ILRT Type A tests) were addressed in the Revision 2-A of NEI 94-01 and the final version of the updated EPRI report [3], which was used for this application.
P0247130002-4722 4-1 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy NUREG/CR-3539
[131 Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) documented a study of the impact of containment leak rates on public risk in NUREG/CR-3539.
This study uses information from WASH-1400
[31] as the basis for its risk sensitivity calculations.
ORNL concluded that the impact of leakage rates on LWR accident risks is relatively small.NUREG/CR-4220
[141 NUREG/CR-4220 is a study performed by Pacific Northwest Laboratories for the NRC in 1985.The study reviewed over two thousand LERs, ILRT reports and other related records to calculate the unavailability of containment due to leakage. It assessed the "large" containment leak probability to be in the range of 1E-3 to 1E-2, with 5E-3 identified as the point estimate based on 4 events in 740 reactor years and conservatively assuming a one-year duration for each event.NUREG-1273 r151 A subsequent NRC study, NUREG-1273, performed a more extensive evaluation of the NUREG/CR-4220 database.
This assessment noted that about one-third of the reported events were leakages that were immediately detected and corrected.
In addition, this study noted that local leak rate tests can detect "essentially all potential degradations" of the containment isolation system.NUREG/CR-4330
[161 NUREG/CR-4330 is a study that examined the risk impacts associated with increasing the allowable containment leakage rates. The details of this report have no direct impact on the modeling approach of the ILRT test interval extension, as NUREG/CR-4330 focuses on leakage rate and the ILRT test interval extension study focuses on the frequency of testing intervals.
However, the general conclusions of NUREG/CR-4330 are consistent with NUREG/CR-3539 and other similar containment leakage risk studies: "...the effect of containment leakage on overall accident risk is small since risk is dominated by accident sequences that result in failure or bypass of containment." P0247130002-4722 4-2 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy EPRI TR-105189 r121 The EPRI study TR-105189 is useful to the ILRT test interval extension risk assessment because this EPRI study provides insight regarding the impact of containment testing on shutdown risk. This study performed a quantitative evaluation (using the EPRI ORAM software) for two reference plants (a BWR-4 and a PWR) of the impact of extending ILRT and LLRT test intervals on shutdown risk.The result of the study concluded that a small but measurable safety benefit (shutdown CDF reduced by 1.OE-8/yr to 1.0E-7/yr) is realized from extending the test intervals from 3 per 10 years to 1 per 10 years.NUREG-1493
[6]NUREG-1493 is the NRC's cost-benefit analysis for proposed alternatives to reduce containment leakage testing frequencies and/or relax allowable leakage rates. The NRC conclusions are consistent with other similar containment leakage risk studies: " Reduction in ILRT frequency from 3 per 10 years to 1 per 20 years results in an"imperceptible" increase in risk." Given the insensitivity of risk to the containment leak rate and the small fraction of leak paths detected solely by Type A testing, increasing the interval between integrated leak rate tests is possible with minimal impact on public risk.EPRI TR-104285 r2l Extending the risk assessment impact beyond shutdown (the earlier EPRI TR-105189 study), the EPRI TR-104285 study is a quantitative evaluation of the impact of extending Integrated Leak Rate Test (ILRT) and (Local Leak Rate Test) LLRT test intervals on at-power public risk.This study combined IPE Level 2 models with NUREG-1150
[17] Level 3 population dose models to perform the analysis.
The study also used the approach of NUREG-1493
[6] in calculating the increase in pre-existing leakage probability due to extending the ILRT and LLRT test intervals.
EPRI TR-104285 used a simplified Containment Event Tree to subdivide representative core damage sequences into eight categories of containment response to a core damage accident: 1. Containment intact and isolated 2. Containment isolation failures due to support system or active failures 3. Type A (ILRT) related containment isolation failures 4. Type B (LLRT) related containment isolation failures 5. Type C (LLRT) related containment isolation failures P0247130002-4722 4-3 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy 6. Other penetration related containment isolation failures 7. Containment failure due to core damage accident phenomena 8. Containment bypass Consistent with the other containment leakage risk assessment studies, this study concluded: "These study results show that the proposed CLRT [containment leak rate tests] frequency changes would have a minimal safety impact. The change in risk determined by the analyses is small in both absolute and relative terms..." Release Category Definitions Table 4.1-1 defines the accident classes used in the ILRT extension evaluation, which is consistent with the EPRI methodology
[3]. These containment failure classifications are used in this analysis to determine the risk impact of extending the Containment Type A test interval as described in Section 5 of this report.TABLE 4.1-1 EPRI/NEI CONTAINMENT FAILURE CLASSIFICATIONS CLASS] DESCRIPTION 1 Containment remains intact including accident sequences that do not lead to containment failure in the long term. The release of fission products (and attendant consequences) is determined by the maximum allowable leakage rate values La, under Appendix J for that plant 2 Containment isolation failures (as reported in the IPEs) include those accidents in which there is a failure to isolate the containment.
3 Independent (or random) isolation failures include those accidents in which the pre-existing isolation failure to seal (i.e., provide a leak-tight containment) is not dependent on the sequence in progress.4 Independent (or random) isolation failures include those accidents in which the pre-existing isolation failure to seal is not dependent on the sequence in progress.
This class is similar to Class 3 isolation failures, but is applicable to sequences involving Type B tests and their potential failures.
These are the Type B-tested components that have isolated but exhibit excessive leakage.5 Independent (or random) isolation failures include those accidents in which the pre-existing isolation failure to seal is not dependent on the sequence in progress.
This class is similar to Class 4 isolation failures, but is applicable to sequences involving Type C tests and their potential failures.6 Containment isolation failures include those leak paths covered in the plant test and maintenance requirements or verified per in service inspection and testing (ISI/IST) program.7 Accidents involving containment failure induced by severe accident phenomena.
Changes in Appendix J testing requirements do not impact these accidents.

Changes in Appendix J testing requirements do not impact these accidents.
Calvert Cliffs Liner Corrosion Analysis [51 This submittal to the NRC describes a method for determining the change in likelihood, due to extending the ILRT, of detecting liner corrosion, and the corresponding change in risk. The methodology was developed for Calvert Cliffs in response to a request for additional information regarding how the potential leakage due to age-related degradation mechanisms was factored into the risk assessment for the ILRT one-time extension.
The Calvert Cliffs analysis was performed for a concrete cylinder and dome and a concrete basemat, each with a steel liner. IP2 and IP3 have a similar type of containment.
EPRI 1018243 [31 This report presents a risk impact assessment for extending integrated leak rate test (ILRT)surveillance intervals to 15 years. This risk impact assessment complements the previous EPRI report, TR-104285, Risk Impact Assessment of Revised Containment Leak Rate Testing Intervals.
The earlier report considered changes to local leak rate testing intervals as well as changes to ILRT testing intervals.
The original risk impact assessment considers the change in risk based on population dose, whereas the revision considers dose as well as large early release frequency (LERF) and conditional containment failure probability (CCFP). This report deals with changes to ILRT testing intervals and is intended to provide bases for supporting changes to industry and regulatory guidance on ILRT surveillance intervals.
The risk impact assessment using the Jeffrey's Non-Informative Prior statistical method is further supplemented with a sensitivity case using expert elicitation performed to address conservatisms.
The expert elicitation is used to determine the relationship between pre-existing containment leakage probability and magnitude.
The results of the expert elicitation process from this report are used as a separate sensitivity investigation for the IP2 and IP3 analysis presented here in Section 6.2.P0247130002-4722 4-5 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy NRC Safety Evaluation Report r7]This SE documents the NRC staff's evaluation and acceptance of NEI TR 94-01, Revision 2, and EPRI Report No. 1009325, Revision 2, subject to the limitations and conditions identified in the SE and summarized in Section 4.0 of the SE. These limitations (associated with the ILRT Type A tests) were addressed in the Revision 2-A of NEI 94-01 which are also included in Revision 3-A of NEI 94-01 [1] and the final version of the updated EPRI report [3]. Additionally, the SE clearly defined the acceptance criteria to be used in future Type A ILRT extension risk assessments as delineated previously in the end of Section 1.3.4.2 PLANT-SPECIFIC INPUTS The IP2 and IP3 specific information used to perform this ILRT interval extension risk assessment includes the following:
- Level 1 and Level 2 PRA model quantification results [18, 19]* Population dose within a 50-mile radius for various release categories
[10, 11]IP2 and IP3 Internal Events Core Damage Frequencies The current IP2 and IP3 Internal Events PRA analyses of record are based on an event tree /linked fault tree model characteristic of the as-built, as-operated plant. Based on the results found in Tables J1.6-2 of Reference
[18] and Reference
[19], the internal events Level 1 PRA core damage frequency (CDF) is 1.17E-05/yr for IP2 and 1.48E-05/yr for IP3.IP2 and IP3 Internal Events Release Category Frequencies The Level 2 release category frequencies were developed from the contributions to CDF for those analyzed containment failure modes that were documented in Tables J1.6-2 and Tables J1.7-4 for IP2 and IP3 of Reference
[18] and Reference
[19], respectively.
Table 4.2-1 summarizes the pertinent IP2 and IP3 results in terms of end-states where a representative release category is assigned for each end-state.
The total Large Early Release Frequency (LERF) in Table 4.2-1 is 1.16E-06/yr for IP2 and 1.25E-06/yr for IP3. The individual release category frequencies are utilized here to provide the necessary delineation for the ILRT risk assessment with the corresponding EPRI class for each release category.
A discussion of the available population dose information for various release categories follows this table.P0247130002-4722 4-6 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy TABLE 4.2-1 LEVEL 2 RELEASE CATEGORY FREQUENCIES FOR IP2 AND IP3 RELEASE CATEGORY DESCRIPTION INDIAN POINT 2 INDIAN POINT 3 (FREQUENCY/YR) (FREQUENCY/YR)

Table 4.2-2 shows how the different release categories were organized for the license renewal effort. While that breakdown was appropriate for that submittal, the breakdown in Table 4.2-1 is sufficient for this ILRT extension risk assessment.

Those population dose results are reproduced in Table 4.2-3 converted to the corresponding values in person-rem (i.e., 100 *person-sv) used for this analysis.TABLE 4.2-3 POPULATION DOSE PER LICENSE RENEWAL RELEASE CATEGORY FOR IP2 AND IP3 RELEASE CATEGORY DESCRIPTION INDIAN POINT 2 INDIAN POINT 3 (PERSON-REM) (PERSON-REM)

As a result, additional analyses were required for the ILRT assessment to be consistent with the methodology employed.
Table 4.2-4 shows the results of four different potential case runs to provide a representative 1.0La release [11]. Note that for the containment intact case, given the similarities between IP2 and IP3, the results are assumed to be applicable to both units. These case results are representative of the 1.OLa release as required by the ILRT methodology.

First, it was noted that containment sprays were not failed in more than 99% of the intact containment cases for both IP2 and IP3, but their use could only be definitively declared in Medium and Large LOCA scenarios or when vessel breach occurs (i.e., other cases with fan coolers available and no vessel breach are unlikely to reach the automatic containment spray initiation set point of 24 psig for IP2 and 22 psig for IP3). For IP2 about 6 8% of the intact containment cases also involved no vessel breach, and for IP3 about 63% of the intact containment cases involved no vessel breach. For IP2 and IP3, the medium and large LOCA contribution to the intact containment case was about 10%. Therefore, it was conservatively assumed that just 10% of the intact containment cases could be represented by a case with containment sprays available (i.e., intact scenario #2 from Table 4.2-4). Of the remaining 90%, based on the P0247130002-4722 4-9 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy contribution from no vessel breach scenarios noted above, it was assumed that about 60% of the cases involved scenarios with no vessel failure and about 3 0% involved scenarios where vessel failure occurred for both IP2 and IP3. Intact scenario #4 from Table 4.2-4 is then used as a representative case for the no vessel failure scenarios, and intact scenario #1 is then conservatively used as a representative case for the remaining vessel failure scenarios.
Although sprays are likely available in those scenarios, the SAMG procedures may limit their use based on hydrogen detonation concerns.
This leads to an overall weighted average population dose for the intact containment case as shown in Table 4.2-5. This weighted average population dose of 4.41E+04 person-rem is used in the remainder of the calculations using the ILRT methodology.

Table 4.2-6a lists the population dose risk and average population dose organized by EPRI release category for IP2, including the delineation of early and late frequencies for Class 7, and a delineation of SGTR and ISLOCA frequencies for Class 8. Note that the population dose risk (Column 4 of Table 4.2-6a) was found by multiplying the release category frequency (Column 2 of Table P0247130002-4722 4-10 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy 4.2-6a) by the associated population dose (Column 3 of Table 4.2-6a). The corresponding information for IP3 is shown in Table 4.2-6b. Note that only the applicable EPRI release categories at this point are shown in the tables (i.e., the Class 3 frequencies are derived later and the Class 4, 5, and 6 frequencies are not utilized in the EPRI methodology for the ILRT extension risk assessment).

The frequencies for the severe accident classes defined in Table 4.1-1 are developed for IP2 and IP3 based on the assignments shown above in Tables 4.2-6a and 4.2-6b. Then, the frequencies for Classes 3a and 3b can be determined with that portion removed from Class 1.This step in the process is described in Section 4.3. Furthermore, adjustments are made to the Class 3b as well as Class 1 frequencies to account for the impact of undetected corrosion of the steel liner per the methodology described in Section 4.4.P0247130002-4722 4-12 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy 4.3 IMPACT OF EXTENSION ON DETECTION OF COMPONENT FAILURES THAT LEAD TO LEAKAGE (SMALL AND LARGE)The ILRT can detect a number of component failures such as liner breach and failure of some sealing surfaces, which can lead to leakage. The proposed ILRT test interval extension may influence the conditional probability of detecting these types of failures.
To ensure that this effect is properly accounted for, the EPRI Class 3 accident class as defined in Table 4.1-1 is divided into two sub-classes representing small and large leakage failures.
These subclasses are defined as Class 3a and Class 3b, respectively.
The probability of the EPRI Class 3a failures may be determined, consistent with the latest EPRI guidance [3], as the mean failure estimated from the available data (i.e., 2 "small" failures that could only have been discovered by the ILRT in 217 tests leads to a 2/217=0.0092 mean value). For Class 3b, consistent with latest available EPRI data, a non-informative prior distribution is assumed for no "large" failures in 217 tests (i.e., 0.5/(217+1)
= 0.0023).The EPRI methodology contains information concerning the potential that the calculated delta LERF values for several plants may fall above the "very small change" guidelines of the NRC regulatory guide 1.174. This information includes a discussion of conservatisms in the quantitative guidance for delta LERF. EPRI describes ways to demonstrate that, using plant-specific calculations, the delta LERF is smaller than that calculated by the simplified method.The methodology states: "The methodology employed for determining LERF (Class 3b frequency) involves conservatively multiplying the CDF by the failure probability for this class (3b) of accident.
This was done for simplicity and to maintain conservatism.
However, some plant-specific accident classes leading to core damage are likely to include individual sequences that either may already (independently) cause a LERF or could never cause a LERF, and are thus not associated with a postulated large Type A containment leakage path (LERF). These contributors can be removed from Class 3b in the evaluation of LERF by multiplying the Class 3b probability by only that portion of CDF that may be impacted by type A leakage." The application of this additional guidance to the analysis for IP2 and IP3 (as detailed in Section 5) means that the Class 2, Class 7, and Class 8 LERF sequences are subtracted from the CDF that is applied to Class 3b. To be consistent, the same change is made to the Class 3a CDF, even though these events are not considered LERF. Note that Class 2 events refer to sequences with a large pre-existing containment isolation failure that lead to LERF, a subset of Class 7 events are LERF sequences due to an early containment failure from energetic phenomena, and Class 8 event are containment bypass events that contribute to LERF.P0247130002-4722 4-13 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy Consistent with the EPRI methodology
[3], the change in the leak detection probability can be estimated by comparing the average time that a leak could exist without detection.
For example, the average time that a leak could go undetected with a three-year test interval is 1.5 years (3 yr / 2), and the average time that a leak could exist without detection for a ten-year interval is 5 years (10 yr / 2). This change would lead to a non-detection probability that is a factor of 3.33 (5.0/1.5) higher for the probability of a leak that is detectable only by ILRT testing, given a 10-year vs. a 3-yr interval.
Correspondingly, an extension of the ILRT interval to fifteen years can be estimated to lead to about a factor of 5.0 (7.5/1.5) increase in the non-detection probability of a leak.IP2 and IP3 Past ILRT Results The surveillance frequency for Type A testing in NEI 94-01 under option B criteria is at least once per ten years based on an acceptable performance history (i.e., two consecutive periodic Type A tests at least 24 months apart) where the calculated performance leakage rate was less than 1.OLa, and in compliance with the performance factors in NEI 94-01, Section 11.3. Based on the successful completion of two consecutive ILRTs at IP2 and IP3, the current ILRT interval is once per ten years. Note that the probability of a pre-existing leakage due to extending the ILRT interval is based on the industry-wide historical results as noted in the EPRI guidance document [3].EPRI Methodoloqy This analysis uses the approach outlined in the EPRI Methodology
[3]. The six steps of the methodology are: 1. Quantify the baseline (three-year ILRT frequency) risk in terms of frequency per reactor year for the EPRI accident classes of interest.2. Develop the baseline population dose (person-rem, from the plant PRA or IPE, or calculated based on leakage) for the applicable accident classes.3. Evaluate the risk impact (in terms of population dose rate and percentile change in population dose rate) for the interval extension cases.4. Determine the risk impact in terms of the change in LERF and the change in CCFP.5. Consider both internal and external events.6. Evaluate the sensitivity of the results to assumptions in the liner corrosion analysis.The first three steps of the methodology deal with calculating the change in dose. The change in dose is the principal basis upon which the Type A ILRT interval extension was previously granted and is a reasonable basis for evaluating additional extensions.
The fourth step in the P0247130002-4722 4-14 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy methodology calculates the change in LERF and compares it to the guidelines in Regulatory Guide 1.174. Because there is no change in CDF for IP2 and IP3, the change in LERF forms the quantitative basis for a risk informed decision per current NRC practice, namely Regulatory Guide 1.174. The fourth step of the methodology calculates the change in containment failure probability, referred to as the conditional containment failure probability, CCFP. The NRC has identified a CCFP of less than 1.5% as the acceptance criteria for extending the Type A ILRT test intervals as the basis for showing that the proposed change is consistent with the defense in depth philosophy
[7]. As such, this step suffices as the remaining basis for a risk informed decision per Regulatory Guide 1.174. Step 5 takes into consideration the additional risk due to external events, and Step 6 investigates the impact on results due to varying the assumptions associated with the liner corrosion rate and failure to visually identify pre-existing flaws.4.4 IMPACT OF EXTENSION ON DETECTION OF STEEL LINER CORROSION THAT LEADS TO LEAKAGE An estimate of the likelihood and risk implications of corrosion-induced leakage of the steel liners occurring and going undetected during the extended test interval is evaluated using the methodology from the Calvert Cliffs liner corrosion analysis [5]. The Calvert Cliffs analysis was performed for a concrete cylinder and dome and a concrete basemat, each with a steel liner.IP2 and IP3 have similar containment types.The following approach is used to determine the change in likelihood, due to extending the ILRT, of detecting corrosion of the containment steel liner. This likelihood is then used to determine the resulting change in risk. Consistent with the Calvert Cliffs analysis, the following issues are addressed:
- Differences between the containment basemat and the containment cylinder and dome" The historical steel liner flaw likelihood due to concealed corrosion* The impact of aging" The corrosion leakage dependency on containment pressure" The likelihood that visual inspections will be effective at detecting a flaw P0247130002-4722 4-15 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy Assumptions" A half failure is assumed for the basemat concealed liner corrosion due to lack of identified failures.* The two corrosion events over a 5.5 year data period are used to estimate the liner flaw probability in the Calvert Cliffs analysis and are assumed to be applicable to the IP2 and IP3 containment analysis.
These events, one at North Anna Unit 2 and one at Brunswick Unit 2, were initiated from the non-visible (backside) portion of the containment liner. It is noted that two additional events have occurred in recent years (based on a data search covering approximately 9 years documented in Reference
[21]). In November 2006, the Turkey Point 4 containment building liner developed a hole when a sump pump support plate was moved. In May 2009, a hole approximately 3/8" by 1" in size was identified in the Beaver Valley 1 containment liner. For risk evaluation purposes, these two more recent events occurring over a 9 year period are judged to be adequately represented by the two events in the 5.5 year period of the Calvert Cliffs analysis incorporated in the EPRI guidance (See Table 4.4-1, Step 1)." Consistent with the Calvert Cliffs analysis, the steel liner flaw likelihood is assumed to double every five years. This is based solely on judgment and is included in this analysis to address the increased likelihood of corrosion as the steel liner ages (See Table 4.4-1, Steps 2 and 3). Sensitivity studies are included that address doubling this rate every two years and every ten years.* In the Calvert Cliffs analysis, the likelihood of the containment atmosphere reaching the outside atmosphere given that a liner flaw exists was estimated as 1.11% for the cylinder and dome region, and 0.11% (10% of the cylinder failure probability) for the basemat. These values were determined from an assessment of the probability of containment failure versus containment pressure, and the selected values are consistent with a pressure that corresponds to the ILRT target pressure of 37 psig.For IP2 and IP3, the containment failure probabilities are less than these values at 47 psig, which is the containment design pressure [18, 19]. The probabilities of 1%for the cylinder and dome, and 0.1% for the basemat, albeit conservative, are used in this analysis.
Sensitivity studies are included that increase and decrease the probabilities by an order of magnitude (See Table 4.4-1, Step 4).* Consistent with the Calvert Cliffs analysis, a 5% visual inspection detection failure likelihood given the flaw is visible and a total detection failure likelihood of 10% is used for the containment cylinder and dome. For the containment basemat, 100% is assumed unavailable for visual inspection.
To date, all liner corrosion events have been detected through visual inspection (See Table 4.4-1, Step 5). Sensitivity studies are included that evaluate total detection failure likelihood of 5% and 15%, respectively.
- Consistent with the Calvert Cliffs analysis, all non-detectable containment failures are assumed to result in early releases.
This approach avoids a detailed analysis of containment failure timing and operator recovery actions.P0247130002-4722 4-16 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy TABLE 4.4-1 STEEL LINER CORROSION BASE CASE STEP DESCRIPTION CONTAINMENT CONTAINMENT CYLINDER AND DOME BASEMAT Historical Steel Liner Events: 2 Events: 0 (assume half a Flaw Likelihood failure)Failure Data: Containment 2/(70

Specifically, the categorization of the severe accidents contributing to risk was considered in the following manner: " Core damage sequences in which the containment remains intact initially and in the long term (EPRI Class 1 sequences).
- Core damage sequences in which containment integrity is impaired due to random isolation failures of plant components other than those associated with Type B or Type C test components.
For example, liner breach or bellows leakage, if applicable.(EPRI Class 3 sequences)." Core damage sequences in which containment integrity is impaired due to containment isolation failures of pathways left "opened" following a plant post-maintenance test. (For example, a valve failing to close following a valve stroke test. (EPRI Class 6 sequences).
Consistent with the EPRI Guidance, this class is not specifically examined since it will not significantly influence the results of this analysis.P0247130002-4722 5-1 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Accident sequences involving containment bypass (EPRI Class 8 sequences), large containment isolation failures (EPRI Class 2 sequences), and small containment isolation "failure-to-seal" events (EPRI Class 4 and 5 sequences) are accounted for in this evaluation as part of the baseline risk profile. However, they are not affected by the ILRT frequency change.Class 4 and 5 sequences are impacted by changes in Type B and C test intervals; therefore, changes in the Type A test interval do not impact these sequences.
The steps taken to perform this risk assessment evaluation are as follows: Step 1 Quantify the base-line risk in terms of frequency per reactor year for each of the accident classes presented in Table 5.0-1.Step 2 Develop plant-specific person-rem dose (population dose) per reactor year for each of the accident classes.Step 3 Evaluate risk impact of extending Type A test interval from 3 to 15 and 10 to 15 years.Step 4 Determine the change in risk in terms of Large Early Release Frequency (LERF)in accordance with RG 1.174.Step 5 Determine the impact on the Conditional Containment Failure Probability (CCFP).5.1 STEP 1 -QUANTIFY THE BASE-LINE RISK IN TERMS OF FREQUENCY PER REACTOR YEAR This step involves the review of the IP2 and IP3 Level 2 release category frequency results [18, 19]. As described in Section 4.2, the release categories were assigned to the EPRI classes as shown in Table 4.2-6a for IP2 and in Table 4.2-6b for IP3. This application combined with the IP2 and IP3 dose risk (person-rem/yr) also shown in Tables 4.2-6a and 4.2-6b, respectively forms the basis for estimating the increase in population dose risk.For the assessment of the impact on the risk profile due to the ILRT extension, the potential for pre-existing leaks is included in the model. These pre-existing leak events are represented by the Class 3 sequences in EPRI 1018243 [3]. Two failure modes were considered for the Class 3 sequences, namely Class 3a (small breach) and Class 3b (large breach).The determination of the frequencies associated with each of the EPRI categories listed in Table 5.0-1 is presented next.P0247130002-4722 5-2 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Class 1 Sequences This group represents the frequency when the containment remains intact (modeled as Technical Specification Leakage).
The frequency per year for these sequences is 7.74E-06/yr for IP2 and 1.11E-05/yr for IP3 (refer to Table 5.1-1 for Containment Release Type 1) and is determined by subtracting all containment failure end states including the EPRI/NEI Class 3a and 3b frequency calculated below, from the total CDF. For this analysis, the associated maximum containment leakage for this group is iLa, consistent with an intact containment evaluation.
Note that the values for this Class reported in Table 5.1-1 are slightly lower than that reported in Tables 4.2-6a and 4.2-6b since the 3a and 3b frequencies are now subtracted from Class 1.Class 2 Sequences This group consists of large containment isolation failures.
For IP2, this frequency is 1.11E-08/yr (refer to Table 5.1-1, Containment Release Type 2). For IP3, this frequency is 3.99E-09/yr (refer to Table 5.1-1, Containment Release Type 2).Class 3 Sequences This group represents pre-existing leakage in the containment structure (e.g., containment liner). The containment leakage for these sequences can be either small (2La to 10OLa) or large (>1OOLa).
In this analysis, a value of 1OLa was used for small pre-existing flaws and 10OLa for relatively large flaws.The respective frequencies per year are determined as follows: PROBciass_3a
= probability of small pre-existing containment liner leakage= 0.0092 (see Section 4.3)PROBciass_3b
= probability of large pre-existing containment liner leakage= 0.0023 (see Section 4.3)As described in Section 4.3, additional consideration is made to not apply these failure probabilities to those cases that are already considered LERF scenarios (i.e., the Class 2, Class 7, and Class 8 LERF contributions).
This adjustment is made for based on the frequency information from Tables 4.2-6a and 4.2-6b for IP2 and IP3, respectively as shown below.P0247130002-4722 5-3 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals For IP2: Class_3a = 0.0092 * [CDF -(Class 2 + Class 7 LERF + Class 8 SGTR + Class 8 ISLOCA)]= 0.0092 * [1.17E-05

-(3.99E-09
+ 7.14E-08 + 9.77E-07 + 1.93E-07)]
= 3.13E-08/yr For this analysis, the associated containment leakage for Class 3a is 1OLa and 10OLa for Class 3b, which is consistent with the latest EPRI methodology
[3] and the NRC SE [7].Class 4 Sequences This group represents containment isolation failure-to-seal of Type B test components.
Because these failures are detected by Type B tests which are unaffected by the Type A ILRT, this group is not evaluated any further in this analysis.Class 5 Sequences This group represents containment isolation failure-to-seal of Type C test components.
Because these failures are detected by Type C tests which are unaffected by the Type A ILRT, this group is not evaluated any further in this analysis.Class 6 Sequences This group is similar to Class 2. These are sequences that involve core damage with a failure-to-seal containment leakage due to failure to isolate the containment.
These sequences are dominated by misalignment of containment isolation valves following a test/maintenance evolution.
Consistent with the EPRI guidance, this accident class is not explicitly considered since it has a negligible impact on the results.P0247130002-4722 5-4 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Class 7 Sequences This group represents containment failure induced by early and late severe accident phenomena.
From Table 4.2-6a for IP2, the frequency for early Class 7 sequences is 4.66E-09/yr
+ 6.90E-08/yr
= 7.37E-08/yr, and the frequency for the late Class 7 sequences is 2.71E-06/yr.
From Table 4.2-6b for IP3, the frequency for early Class 7 sequences is 1.17E-07/yr
+ 7.14E-08/yr
= 1.88E-07/yr, and the frequency for the late Class 7 sequences is 2.17E-06/yr.
Class 8 Seauences This group represents sequences where containment bypass occurs (SGTR or ISLOCA). From the frequency information provided in Table 4.2-6a for IP2, the total SGTR contribution to core damage is 1.05E-06/yr and the ISLOCA contribution to core damage is 2.77E-08/yr.
From the frequency information provided in Table 4.2-6b for IP3, the total SGTR contribution to core damage is 9.77E-07/yr and the ISLOCA contribution to core damage is 1.93E-07/yr.
Summary of Accident Class Frequencies In summary, the accident sequence frequencies that can lead to release of radionuclides to the public have been derived in a manner consistent with the definition of accident classes defined in EPRI 1018243 [3] and are shown in Table 5.1-1 for IP2 and for IP3.P0247130002-4722 5-5 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals TABLE 5.1-1 RADIONUCLIDE RELEASE FREQUENCIES AS A FUNCTION OF ACCIDENT CLASS (IP2 AND IP3 BASE CASE)ACCIDENT DESCRIPTION IP2 IP3 CLASS FREQUENCY FREQUENCY (CONTAINMENT (1/YR) (1/YR)RELEASE TYPE)1 Containment Intact 7.74E-06 1.11E-05 2 Large Isolation Failures (Failure to Close) 1.11E-08 3.99E-09 3a Small Isolation Failures (liner breach) 9.73E-08 1.25E-07 3b Large Isolation Failures (liner breach) 2.43E-08 3.13E-08 4 Small Isolation Failures (Failure to seal -N/A N/A Type B)5 Small Isolation Failures (Failure to seal- N/A N/A Type C)6 Other Isolation Failures (e.g., dependent N/A N/A failures)7-CFE Failures Induced by Phenomena (Early) 7.37E-08 1.88E-07 7-CFL Failures Induced by Phenomena (Late) 2.71E-06 2.17E-06 8-SGTR Containment Bypass (Steam Generator 1.05E-06 9.77E-07 Tube Rupture)8-ISLOCA Containment Bypass (Interfacing System 2.77E-08 1.93E-07 LOCA)CDF All CET End States (Including Intact 1.17E-05 1.48E-05 Case)5.2 STEP 2 -REACTOR YEAR DEVELOP PLANT-SPECIFIC PERSON-REM DOSE (POPULATION DOSE) PER Plant-specific release analyses were performed to estimate the weighted average person-rem doses to the population within a 50-mile radius from the plant. The releases are based on a combination of the information provided by the IP2 and IP3 SAMA re-analysis
[10], additional population dose runs for the intact containment scenarios
[11], and the Level 2 containment failure release frequencies
[18, 19] (see Tables 4.2-6a and 4.2-6b of this analysis).
The results of applying these releases to the EPRI containment failure classifications are P0247130002-4722 5-6 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals summarized below. Note that the 7-CFE release category is further refined to be the weighted average of the two contributors for moving forward in the ILRT methodology since it is not impacted by the change to the ILRT interval.For IP2: Class 1 Class 2 Class 3a Class 3b Class 4 Class 5 Class 6 Class 7-CFE Class 7-CFL Class 8-SGTR= 4.41E+04 person-rem (at 1.OLa)= 6.51E+07 person-rem

To do this, an evaluation must first be made of the risk associated with the ten-year interval since the base case applies to a 3-year interval (i.e., a simplified representation of a 3-in- 10 year interval).
Risk Impact Due to 10-year Test Interval As previously stated, Type A tests impact only Class 3 sequences.
For Class 3 sequences, the release magnitude is not impacted by the change in test interval (a small or large breach remains the same, even though the probability of not detecting the breach increases).
Thus, only the frequency of Class 3a and 3b sequences is impacted.
The risk contribution is changed based on the EPRI guidance as described in Section 4.3 by a factor of 3.33 compared to the base case values. The results of the calculation for a 10-year interval are presented in Table 5.3-1a for IP2 and in Table 5.3-1b for IP3.Risk Imoact Due to 15-Year Test Interval The risk contribution for a 15-year interval is calculated in a manner similar to the 10-year interval.
The difference is in the increase in probability of not detecting a leak in Classes 3a and 3b. For this case, the value used in the analysis is a factor of 5.0 compared to the 3-year interval value, as described in Section 4.3. The results for this calculation are presented in Table 5.3-2a for IP2 and in Table 5.3-2b for IP3.P0247130002-4722 5-13 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals TABLE 5.3-1A IP2 ANNUAL DOSE AS A FUNCTION OF ACCIDENT CLASS;CHARACTERISTIC OF CONDITIONS FOR 1 IN 10 YEAR ILRT FREQUENCY ACCIDENT DESCRIPTION PERSON- EPRI METHODOLOGY EPRI METHODOLOGY CHANGE DUE TO CLASSES REM PLUS CORROSION CORROSION (CONTAINMENT (0-50 FREQUENCY PERSON- FREQUENCY PERSON- (PERSON-RELEASE TYPE) MILES) (1/YR) REM/YR (1/YR) REM/YR REM/YR) (1)(0-50 (0-50 MILES) MILES)1 Containment 4.41E+04 7.46E-06 3.29E-01 7.45E-06 3.29E-01 -2.38E-05 Intact (2)2 Large Isolation 6.51E+07 1.11E-08 7.23E-01 1.11E-08 7.23E-01 --Failures (Failure to Close)3a Small Isolation 4.41E+05 3.24E-07 1.43E-01 3.24E-07 1.43E-01 --Failures (liner breach)3b Large Isolation 4.41E+06 8.1OE-08 3.57E-01 8.15E-08 3.60E-01 2.38E-3 Failures (liner breach)4 Small Isolation N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A Failures (Failure to seal -Type B)5 Small Isolation N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A Failures (Failure to seal-Type C)6 Other Isolation N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A Failures (e.g., dependent failures)P0247130002-4722 5-14 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals TABLE 5.3-1A IP2 ANNUAL DOSE AS A FUNCTION OF ACCIDENT CLASS;CHARACTERISTIC OF CONDITIONS FOR 1 IN 10 YEAR ILRT FREQUENCY ACCIDENT DESCRIPTION PERSON- EPRI METHODOLOGY EPRI METHODOLOGY CHANGE DUE TO CLASSES REM PLUS CORROSION CORROSION (CONTAINMENT (0-50 FREQUENCY PERSON FREQUENCY PERSON (PERSON-RELEASE TYPE) MILES) (1/YR) REM/YR (1/YR) REM/YR REM/YR)(1)

RG 1.174 defines very small changes in risk as resulting in increases of core damage frequency (CDF) below 1E-06/yr and increases in LERF below 1E-07/yr, and small changes in LERF as below 1E-06/yr.
Because the ILRT does not impact CDF for IP2 and IP3, the relevant metric is LERF.For IP2 and IP3, 100% of the frequency of Class 3b sequences can be used as a conservative first-order estimate to approximate the potential increase in LERF from the ILRT interval extension (consistent with the EPRI guidance methodology and the NRC SE). Based on the original 3-in-10 year test interval assessment from Tables 5.2-2a and 5.2-2b, the Class 3b frequency is 2.44E-08/yr for IP2 and 3.14E-08/yr for IP3, which includes the corrosion effect of the containment liner. Based on a ten-year test interval from Tables 5.3-1a and 5.3-1b, the Class 3b frequency is 8.15E-08/yr for IP2 and 1.05E-07/yr for IP3; and, based on a fifteen-year test interval from Tables 5.3-2a and 5.3-2b, it is 1.23E-07/yr for IP2 and 1.58E-07/yr for IP3. Thus, the increase in the overall probability of LERF due to Class 3b sequences that is due to increasing the ILRT test interval from 3 to 15 years (including corrosion effects) is 9.84E-08/yr for IP2 and 1.26E-07/yr for IP3. Similarly, the increase in LERF due to increasing the interval from 10 to 15 years (including corrosion effects) is 4.13E-08/yr for IP2 and 5.31E-08/yr for IP3. As can be seen, even with the conservatisms included in the evaluation (per the EPRI methodology), the estimated change in LERF is well within Region II of Figure 4 of Reference
[4] (i.e., the acceptance criteria for small changes in LERF) when comparing the 15 year results to the original 3-in-10 year requirement.
5.5 STEP 5 -DETERMINE THE IMPACT ON THE CONDITIONAL CONTAINMENT FAILURE PROBABILITY Another parameter that can provide input into the decision-making process is the change in the conditional containment failure probability (CCFP). The change in CCFP is indicative of the effect of the ILRT on all radionuclide releases, not just LERF. The CCFP can be calculated from the results of this analysis.
One of the difficult aspects of this calculation is providing a definition of the "failed containment." In this assessment, the CCFP is defined such that containment failure includes all radionuclide release end states other than the intact state and, consistent with the EPRI guidance, the small isolation failures (Class 3a). The conditional part of the definition is conditional given a severe accident (i.e., core damage).P0247130002-4722 5-22 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals The change in CCFP can be calculated by using the method specified in the EPRI methodology
[3]. The NRC SE has noted a change in CCFP of <1.5% as the acceptance criterion to be used as the basis for showing that the proposed change is consistent with the defense-in-depth philosophy.
Table 5.5-1 shows the CCFP values that result from the assessment for the various testing intervals including corrosion effects in which the flaw rate is assumed to double every five years.TABLE 5.5-1 IP2 AND IP3 ILRT CONDITIONAL CONTAINMENT FAILURE PROBABILITIES UNIT CCFP CCFP CCFP 3 IN 10 1 IN 10 1 IN 15 ACCFP 1 5-3 ACCFP 1 5-1 0 YRS YRS YRS Indian Point 2 33.19% 33.67% 34.03% 0.84% 0.35%Indian Point 3 2 4.0 3% 2 4.5 2% 24.88% 0.85% 0.36%CCFP = [1 -(Class 1 frequency
+ Class 3a frequency)/CDF]
x 100%The change in CCFP of less than 1% as a result of extending the test interval to 15 years from the original 3-in-10 year requirement is judged to be relatively insignificant, and is less than the NRC SE acceptance criteria of <. 1.5%.5.6

Similar to that provided in the SAMA analysis, a description of the external events contribution to risk at IP2 and IP3 is provided below.5.7.1 Indian Point 2 External Events Discussion The IP2 Individual Plant Examination of External Events (IPEEE) included quantitative CDF results for high winds, seismic, and fire contributors.
Each of these is discussed below.A high wind analysis was performed for the IP2 IPEEE. Conservative assumptions in the high wind PRA analysis included the following.
- Offsite power was assumed to be lost for all high wind events." Building frame failures were assumed to cause failure of all equipment within the building.* Missile (high wind projectile) impact on a structure was assumed to cause failure of all equipment within that structure.
- Likelihood of missile (high wind projectile) strikes was assumed to be independent of the intensity of the hazard.* Both onsite and offsite alternate power sources (gas turbines) were assumed to fail given failure of a more robust structure.
P0247130002-4722 5-26 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals The core damage frequency contribution associated with high wind events was estimated to be 3.03E-05/yr.
As described above, this is a conservative value. In addition, plant changes, improved equipment performance data, and modeling improvements since the issuance of the IP2 IPEEE have demonstrated that the response of plant systems as modeled at that time was conservative.
This can be seen from the reduction in internal events CDF from 2.85E-05/yr at the time the IPEEE was developed to the present value of 1.17E-05/yr.
Although conservative, consistent with the SAMA analysis, the wind risk contribution of 3.03E-05/yr is maintained to determine the potential external events impact in the ILRT extension assessment.
A seismic PRA analysis was performed for the seismic portion of the IP2 IPEEE. The seismic PRA analysis was a conservative analysis.
Therefore, its results should not be compared directly with the best-estimate internal events results. Conservative assumptions in the seismic PRA analysis included the following.
- Sequences in the seismic PRA involving loss of off-site power were assumed to be unrecoverable.
If off-site power was recovered following a seismic event, there would be many more systems available to maintain core cooling and containment integrity than were credited for those sequences.
- A single, conservative, surrogate element whose failure leads directly to core damage was used in the seismic risk quantification to model the most seismically rugged components.
- Seismic-induced ATWS was considered in the analysis, but no credit was included for manual scram or mitigation of ATWS using the boration system. This conservatively resulted in most seismic-induced ATWS events leading to consequential core damage.* Redundant components were conservatively assumed to be completely correlated by treating them as if they were one component for the purpose of determining the probability of seismic induced failures." Several systems were assumed to be unavailable during a seismic event, including:
- a. the city water system, which can be used to supply backup cooling to the charging pumps if CCW is lost, as an alternate source of suction to the AFW pumps and to provide alternate cooling to the RHR and SI pumps;b. the primary water system, which can also be used as a backup to CCW to supply cooling to the RHR and SI pumps; and c. the onsite and offsite gas turbine generators, which can provide alternate station power.* No credit was taken for recovery of power through the alternate safe shutdown system (ASSS).The seismic CDF in the IPEEE was originally estimated to be 1.46E-05/yr.
As a result of an IPEEE recommendation, the CCW surge tank hold-down bolts were upgraded, reducing the seismic CDF to 1.06E-05/yr.
Although it remains conservative, consistent with the SAMA P0247130002-4722 5-27 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals analysis, the seismic risk contribution of 1.06E-05/yr is maintained to determine the potential external events impact in the ILRT extension assessment.
The conservative EPRI FIVE methodology was used for initial screening of fire zones in the IP2 IPEEE fire analysis.
Unscreened fire zones were then analyzed in more detail using a fire PRA approach.
The sum of the resulting fire zone CDF values is approximately 1.84E-05/yr.
Conservative assumptions in the IP2 IPEEE fire analysis include the following." The frequency and severity of fires were generally conservatively overestimated in the generic IPEEE fire analysis methods. A revised NRC fire events database indicates a trend toward lower frequency and less severe fires. This trend reflects improved housekeeping, reduction in transient fire hazards, and other improved fire protection steps at utilities.
- Cable failure due to fire damage was assumed to arise from open circuits, hot short circuits, and short circuits to ground. In damaging a cable, the analysis addressed the ability of the fire to induce the conductor failure mode of concern. Hot shorts were conservatively assigned a probability of 0.1, which was applied to all single phase, AC control circuit or DC power and control circuit cases regardless of whether the wires were in the same multi-conductor." A plant trip was assumed for all fires, including those for which immediate operator actions are not specified in emergency response procedures." PORV block valves were assumed to be in the more limiting position (open or closed)to maximize the impact of the fire.* The main feedwater and condensate systems were assumed to be unavailable in all scenarios, even when their power source was not impacted by the fire scenario.
Use of these systems for recovery, following a failure of AFW, is addressed in current plant procedures.
- All sequences involving induced RCP seal LOCAs were assumed to lead to complete seal failure. Although casualty cables exist for powering ECCS pumps from the ASSS power source, the ASSS was assumed to be ineffective in mitigating induced LOCAs.* The currently accepted RCP seal LOCA methodology is more detailed and provides sequences with varying leakage rates. Under that current methodology, a majority of seal LOCAs remain within the capability of a charging pump (which has hardwired ASSS transfer capability) to provide makeup.As noted previously, plant changes, improved equipment performance data and modeling improvements since the issuance of the IP2 IPEEE have demonstrated that the response of plant systems as modeled at that time was conservative.
This can be seen from the reduction in internal events CDF from 2.85E-05/yr at the time the IPEEE was developed to the present value of 1.17E-5/yr., a reduction factor of 2.4. Factoring in the additional conservatisms in the fire analysis noted above, an overall reduction factor of 2 is reasonable which is consistent with the assumption used in the SAMA analysis [20]. The IPEEE fire CDF value, reduced by a factor of two, is 9.20E-06/yr.
P0247130002-4722 5-28 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals The IP2 Individual Plant Examination of External Events (IPEEE) concluded for "Other" external events, with the exception of "high wind" events as noted above, that no undue risks are present that might contribute to CDF with a predicted frequency in excess of 1.OE-06/yr.
As these events are not dominant contributors to external event risk and quantitative analysis of these events is not practical, they are considered negligible in estimation of the external events impact on the ILRT extension assessment.
In summary, the combination of the IPEEE high wind CDF and the reduced seismic and fire CDF values described above results in an external events risk estimate of 5.01E-05/yr, which is 4.3 times higher than the internal events CDF (1.17E-05/yr).
5.7.2 Indian Point 3 External Events Discussion The IP3 Individual Plant Examination of External Events (IPEEE) concluded for high winds, floods, and "Other" external events that no undue risks are present that might contribute to CDF with a predicted frequency in excess of 1.OE-06/yr.
Note that at IP3 (compared to IP2), the EDGs are in separate concrete bunkered cells and as such are not susceptible to high winds. In any event, as these other events are not dominant contributors to external event risk and quantitative analysis of these events is not practical, they are considered negligible in estimation of the external events impact on the ILRT extension assessment.
The IPEEE analyses using the seismic PRA and fire PRA provided quantitative, but conservative, results.Therefore, the results were combined as described below to represent the total external events risk.A seismic PRA analysis was performed for the seismic portion of the IP3 IPEEE. The seismic PRA analysis is a conservative analysis.
Therefore, its results should not be compared directly with the best-estimate internal events results. Conservative assumptions in the seismic PRA analysis included the following." Each of the sequences in the seismic PRA assumes unrecoverable loss of off-site power. If off-site power was maintained, or recovered, following a seismic event, there would be many more systems available to maintain core cooling and containment integrity than were credited in the analysis.* Seismic events were assumed to induce a small loss of coolant accident (LOCA) in addition to a loss of offsite power." A single, conservative, surrogate element whose failure leads directly to core damage was used in the seismic risk quantification to model the most seismically rugged components." Redundant components were conservatively assumed to be completely correlated by treating them as if they were one component for the purpose of determining the probability of seismic induced failures.P0247130002-4722 5-29 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals* The ATWS event tree was conservatively simplified so that all conditions which lead to a failure to trip result in core damage, without the benefit of emergency boration or other mitigating systems." Because there is little industry experience with crew actions following seismic events, human actions were conservatively characterized.
The seismic CDF in the IPEEE was conservatively estimated to be 4.40E-05/yr.
As described above, this is a conservative value. The seismic PRA CDF has been re-evaluated to reflect updated random component failure probabilities and to model recovery of onsite power and local operation of the turbine-driven AFW pump. The updated seismic CDF is 2.65E-05/yr.
Although it remains conservative, consistent with the SAMA analysis, the seismic risk contribution of 2.65E-05/yr is maintained to determine the external events impact on the ILRT extension assessment.
The EPRI Fire PRA Implementation Guide was followed for the IP3 IPEEE fire analysis.
The EPRI Fire Induced Vulnerability Evaluation (FIVE) method was used for the initial screening, for treatment of transient combustibles, and as the source of fire frequency data. The sum of the resulting fire zone CDF values is approximately 5.58E-05/yr.
Conservatisms in the IP3 IPEEE fire analysis include the following.
- The frequency and severity of fires were generally conservatively overestimated.
A revised NRC fire events database indicates a trend toward lower frequency and less severe fires. This trend reflects improved housekeeping, reduction in transient fire hazards, and other improved fire protection steps at utilities." There is little industry experience with crew actions following fires. This led to conservative characterization of crew actions in the IPEEE fire analysis.
Because CDF is strongly correlated with crew actions, this conservatism has a profound effect on fire results.* Hot gas layer temperature timing calculations were based on simplified analyses (versus more detailed calculations such as GOTHIC or even COMPBURN) which are believed to result in more severe timing (i.e., shorter time to equipment failure).* Heat and combustion products from a fire within a zone were assumed to be confined within the zone. Heat loss through separating zones was not considered; nor was heat loss through open equipment hatches, ladder ways, open doorways, or unsealed penetrations." Cable failure due to fire damage was assumed to arise from open circuits, hot shorts circuits, and short circuits to ground. In damaging a cable, the fire was always assumed to induce the conductor failure mode of concern." A plant trip was assumed for all fires, including those for which immediate operator actions are not specified in emergency response procedures." For several fire zones, a minimum heat requirement for target damage was estimated." Propagation of fires in cable spreading room trays and electrical tunnels was modeled using a maximum heat release rate. This results in a shorter time to damage than P0247130002-4722 5-30 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals the five-minute delay using heat release rate scaling factors as a function of distance recommended in the EPRI fire PRA implementation guide.Implementation of the IP3 IPEEE recommendations reduced the fire risk. The fire suppression system in the 480V switchgear room was restored to automatic actuation, and realignment and rerouting of the power feeds to the EDG exhaust fans and engine auxiliaries in emergency diesel generator room 31, emergency diesel generator room 32, and emergency diesel generator room 33 significantly reduce the respective fire zone's CDF. In addition, restoration of the 480V switchgear room fire suppression system to automatic actuation results in a similar reduction in the fire zone 14/37A multiple compartment fire CDF. Consequently, the IPEEE fire CDF value was reduced from 5.58E-05/yr to 2.55E-05/yr.
Although it remains conservative, consistent with the SAMA analysis, the fire risk contribution of 2.55E-05/yr is maintained to determine the potential external event impact on the ILRT extension assessment.
In summary, combining the reduced seismic and fire CDF values results in an external events risk estimate of 5.20E-05/yr, which is 3.5 times higher than the internal events CDF (1.48E-05/yr).5.7.3 Additional Seismic Risk Discussion As an additional consideration, it can be noted that in June 2013, Entergy submitted information to the NRC that addressed some conservatisms in the original IPEEE analyses, and indicated that the seismic CDF risk at IP2 and IP3 are both actually less than 1.OE-05/yr
[25].However, to maintain consistency with the approach utilized in the SAMA analysis, the additional information will not be factored into this analysis but is noted here for completeness.
5.7.4 External Events Impact Summary Table 5.7-1 summarizes the external events CDF contribution for IP2 and 1P3. Although noted as conservative, these values are consistent with that used in the SAMA analysis [20].P0247130002-4722 5-31 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals TABLE 5.7-1 EXTERNAL EVENTS CONTRIBUTOR

Using an external events multiplier of 4.28 for IP2, the change in the LERF risk measure due to extending the ILRT from 3-per-l.0 years to 1-per-15 years, including both internal and external hazards risk, is estimated as shown in Table 5.7-2a. Similarly, the EPRI Class 3b frequencies shown in Table 5.6-1b for IP3 are 3.14E-08/yr, 1.05E-07/yr, and 1.58E-07/yr.
Using an external events multiplier of 3.51 for IP3, the change in the LERF risk measure due to extending the ILRT from 3-per-10 years to 1-per-15 years, including both internal and external hazards risk, is estimated as shown in Table 5.7-2b.P0247130002-4722 5-32 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals TABLE 5.7-2A IP2 3B (LERF/YR)

The other acceptance criteria for the ILRT extension risk assessment can be similarly derived using the multiplier approach.
The results between the 3-in-10 year interval and the 15 year interval compared to the acceptance criteria are shown in Table 5.7-3. As can be seen, the impact from including the external events contributors would not change the conclusion of the risk assessment.
That is, the acceptance criteria are all met such that the estimated risk increase associated with permanently extending the ILRT surveillance interval to 15 years has been demonstrated to be small. Note that a bounding analysis for the total LERF contribution follows Table 5.7-3 to demonstrate that the total LERF value for IP2 and IP3 is less than 1.OE-5/yr consistent with the requirements for a "Small Change" in risk of the RG 1.174 acceptance guidelines.

Per RG 1.174, when the calculated increase in LERF due to the proposed plant change is in the "Small Change" range, the risk assessment must also reasonably show that the total LERF is less than 1.OE-5/yr.
Similar bounding assumptions regarding the external event contributions that were made above are used for the total LERF estimate.From Table 4.2-1, the total LERF due to postulated internal event accidents is 1.16E-06/yr for IP2 and 1.25E-06/yr for IP3. Although some of the LERF contributors may not be applicable to external events initiators, the base LERF distribution due to external events is assumed to be the same as the internal events contribution.
The total LERF values for IP2 and IP3 are then shown in Table 5.7-4.P0247130002-4722 5-35 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals TABLE 5.7-4 IMPACT OF 15-YR ILRT EXTENSION ON LERF FOR IP2 AND IP3 LERF CONTRIBUTOR IP2 (1/YR) IP3 (1/YR)Internal Events LERF 1.16E-06 1.25E-06 4.97E-06 4.38E-06 External Events LERF [Internal Events LERF * [Internal Events LERF *4.28] 3.51]Internal Events LERF due to 1.23E-07 1.58E-07 ILRT (at 15 years) (1)External Events LERF due to 5.26E-07 5.53E-07 ILRT (at 15 years) (1)Total 6.78E-06/yr 6.34E-06/yr) Including age adjusted steel liner corrosion likelihood as reported in Table 5.7-2a for IP2 and Table 5.7-2b for IP3.As can be seen, the estimated upper bound LERF for IP2 is estimated as 6.78E-06/yr and for IP3 it is 6.34E-06/yr.
These values are both less than the RG 1.174 requirement to demonstrate that the total LERF due to internal and external events is less than 1.OE-5/yr.
5.7.6 Alternative Approach for External Events Impact on ILRT Extension Assessment The approach above described in Section 5.7.5 for the external events impact is consistent with that used in the Palisades ILRT extension risk assessment evaluation that was submitted by Entergy [26] and approved by the NRC [27]. As shown, the IP2 and IP3 results fall within the value in the NRC SER for a small increase in population dose, as defined by percent increase in dose (i.e., <1.0% person-rem/yr).
However, since the IP2 and IP3 results rely on that criterion rather than the absolute increase in dose criteria (i.e., < 1.0 person-rem/yr), additional information is provided to further demonstrate that the percent increase in dose criteria is not exceeded.To do this, a reasonable estimate for the base case dose risk associated with external events must be determined.
In this case, each EPRI accident class is re-examined considering the potential contribution for external events. Since the Class 1 frequency is determined based on remaining contribution not assigned to other classes, the discussion appears in reverse order starting with EPRI Class 8 and ending with EPRI Class 1. However, EPRI Class 2 is discussed prior to Class 3 since its value is used in the final determination of the Class 3 frequencies.
P0247130002-4722 5-36 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Class 8 Sequences This group represents sequences where containment bypass occurs (SGTR or ISLOCA).ISLOCA and SGTR initiators are deemed inapplicable to the external events assessment so only induced SGTR scenarios need to be considered.
From the frequency information provided in Table 4.2-1 for IP2, the induced SGTR contribution to core damage is about 0.75% and for IP3 it represented about 0.39%. A value of 0.5% is assumed for the external events contribution for both IP2 and IP3. A High Early release magnitude dose is assigned.For IP2: Class_8 = 0.005 * [IP2 External Events CDF]= 0.005 * [5.01E-05]

= 2.60E-07/yr Class 7 Seauences This group represents containment failure induced by early and late severe accident phenomena.
From Table 5.1-1 for IP2, the contribution from the early Class 7 sequences is about 0.6% and for IP3 it represented about 1.3%. A value of 1.0% is assumed for the external events contribution for both IP2 and IP3. A High Early release magnitude dose is assigned.
From Table 5.1-1 for IP2, the contribution from the late Class 7 sequences is about 23% and for IP3 it represented about 15%. However, since the external events contributors are more dominated by unrecoverable SBO-like scenarios, a value of 50% is assumed for the external events contribution for both IP2 and IP3. A High Late release magnitude dose is assigned.P0247130002-4722 5-37 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals For IP2: Class_7-CFE

From the frequency information provided in Table 4.2-1 for IP2, the internal events contribution to this accident class was approximately 0.1% of the CDF and for IP3 it represented about 0.03%. Since seismic and fire initiated events would likely be more susceptible to this failure mode, the larger contribution of 0.1% is assumed for both IP2 and IP3. The population doses are assigned the same as the Class 2 scenarios in the internal events assessment.

= 1.18E-07/yr For this analysis, the associated containment leakage for Class 3a is 1OLa and 10OLa for Class 3b, which is consistent with the latest EPRI methodology
[3] and the NRC SE [7].Class 1 Sequences Similar to the internal events assessment, the frequency is determined by subtracting all containment failure end states including the EPRI/NEI Class 3a and 3b frequency calculated below, from the total CDF. The internal events intact containment dose of 4.41E+04 person-rem for IP2 and IP3 is also utilized.Summary of Alternative External Events Base Case Dose Assessment In summary, the accident sequence frequencies that can lead to release of radionuclides to the public have been derived in a manner consistent with the definition of accident classes defined in EPRI 1018243 [3]. These frequencies have been combined with reasonable assumptions regarding the population dose associated with each class to determine the base case population dose risk for external events. This information is provided in Table 5.7-5a for IP2 and in Table 5.7-5b for IP3. Additionally, following the same EPRI methodology utilized for internal events to determine the risk impact assessment of extending the ILRT interval, the external events accident class frequencies indicative of a 15 year ILRT interval are provided in Table 5.7-6a for IP2 and in Table 5.7-6b for IP3.Table 5.7-7 then shows the changes due to the ILRT extension from 3 year to a 15 year interval in the LERF, person-rem/yr, and CCFP figures of merit. When these values are added to the internal events results, the acceptance criteria are all still met by using this detailed alternative external events evaluation instead of the simple evaluation that was utilized in Section 5.7.5. A comparison to the acceptance criteria is also shown in Table 5.7-7. Note that the ALERF, person-rem/yr, and change in CCFCP shown in Table 5.7-7 are all slightly higher than the corresponding values shown in Table 5.7-3. This is because the simple method in Table 5.7-3 assumes the same distribution of LERF contributors exists between the internal P0247130002-4722 5-40 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals and external events models whereas the alternative assessment re-apportions the base case LERF contributions based on more realistic assumptions while conservatively maintaining the total CDF value. That is, since the contribution from SGTR initiators and ISLOCA initiators (which contribute to the base LERF value) are not applicable to the external events contribution, more of the remaining CDF distribution is potentially affected by the ILRT extension as represented by the Class 3b multiplier on CDF (that is not already LERF).Additionally, the alternative detailed assessment leads to slightly different percent increases in person-rem/yr which are a function of the base case dose estimates.

Per RG 1.174, when the calculated increase in LERF due to the proposed plant change is in the "Small Change" range, the risk assessment must also reasonably show that the total LERF is less than 1.0E-5/yr.
From Table 4.2-1, the total LERF due to postulated internal event accidents is 1.16E-06/yr for IP2 and 1.25E-06/yr for IP3. From Table 5.7-5a for IP2, the base external events LERF can be derived from the Class 2, Class 3b, Class 7-CFE, and Class 8 contributions.
From the individual contributions of 5.01E-08/yr
+ 1.13E-07/yr
+ 5.01E-07/yr
+ 2.51E-07/yr, this equates to 9.15E-07/yr.

+1.18E-07/yr
+ 5.20E-07/yr
+ 2.60E-07/yr result in a total base case LERF from external events of 9.50E-07/yr.
The total LERF values for IP2 and IP3 using the alternative external events evaluation are then shown in Table 5.7-8.P0247130002-4722 5-45 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals TABLE 5.7-8 IMPACT OF 15-YR ILRT EXTENSION ON LERF FOR IP2 AND IP3 LERF CONTRIBUTOR IP2 (1/YR) IP3 (1/YR)Internal Events LERF 1.16E-06 1.25E-06 External Events LERF 9.15E-07 9.50E-07 Internal Events LERF due to 1.23E-07 1.58E-07 ILRT (at 15 years) (1)External Events LERF increase due to ILRT extension (2) 4.54E-07 4.71E-07 Total 2.65E-06/yr 2.83E-06/yr (1) Including age adjusted steel liner corrosion likelihood as reported in Table 5.7-2a for IP2 and Table 5.7-2b for IP3.(2) As shown in Table 5.7-7. This did not include the age adjusted steel liner corrosion likelihood, but this was demonstrated to be a small contributor for IP2 and IP3.As can be seen, the total LERF for IP2 is estimated as 2.65E-06/yr and for IP3 it is 2.83E-06/yr.
These values are both less than the RG 1.174 requirement to demonstrate that the total LERF due to internal and external events is less than 1.OE-5/yr.
P0247130002-4722 5-46 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals 5.8 CONTAINMENT OVERPRESSURE IMPACTS ON CDF For IP2 and IP3, ECCS NPSH calculations made in support of the GSI-191 effort [28, 29]confirmed that containment overpressure is not required to obtain adequate NPSH [30]. This is consistent with the PRA models which indicate there is no impact on CDF from the ILRT extension risk assessment.
In IP-CALC-06-000231
[28], the NPSHA / NPSHR relationship for IP2 ECCS pumps was being evaluated.
For conservatism in obtaining the NPSHA and NPSHR, the maximum volumetric flow rate was used. The greatest volumetric flow rate occurs when the least dense fluid is being pumped. This is at the highest temperature in the recirculation phase of the accident.
For IP2, this temperature was 264.4 F which occurs at start of recirculation.
Since 264.4 F is higher than 212 F, a boundary condition pressure of 37.6 psia is inputted.
This is close to the saturation pressure at 264.4 F so there is essentially no containment overpressure being invoked. In other words, 264.4 F and 37.6 psia is basically equivalent to 212 F and 14.7 psia (0 psig).* The same issue was addressed in IP-CALC-07-00054
[29] for the TP3 NPSHA /NPSHR evaluation.
Again, to be most conservative with respect to NPSHA and NPSHR, the maximum volumetric flow rate has to be used. This entails that the highest temperature during recirculation applies. This is 242.8 F at commencement of recirculation.
The saturation pressure at 242.8 F is close to 26.1 psia, which is the boundary condition pressure input in the calculation.
Again, essentially no containment overpressure is being invoked since 242.8 F and 26.1 psia is basically equivalent to 212 F and 14.7 psia (0 psig).P0247130002-4722 5-47 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals 6.0 SENSITIVITIES 6.1 SENSITIVITY TO CORROSION IMPACT ASSUMPTIONS The results in Tables 5.2-2a(b), 5.3-la(b), and 5.3-2a(b) show that including corrosion effects calculated using the assumptions described in Section 4.4 does not significantly affect the results of the ILRT extension risk assessment.
In any event, sensitivity cases were developed to gain an understanding of the sensitivity of the results to the key parameters in the corrosion risk analysis.
The time for the flaw likelihood to double was adjusted from every five years to every two and every ten years. The failure probabilities for the cylinder, dome and basemat were increased and decreased by an order of magnitude.
The total detection failure likelihood was adjusted from 10% to 15% and 5%. The results are presented in Table 6.1-1a for IP2 and in Table 6.1-1b for IP3. In every case, the impact from including the corrosion effects is very minimal. Even the upper bound estimates with very conservative assumptions for all of the key parameters yield increases in LERF due to corrosion of only 3.68E-8/yr for IP2 and 4.72E-08/yr for IP3. The results indicate that even with very conservative assumptions, the conclusions from the base analysis would not change.TABLE 6.1-1A STEEL LINER CORROSION SENSITIVITY CASES FOR IP2 AGE CONTAINMENT VISUAL INCREASE IN CLASS 3B (STEP 3 IN THE BREACH INSPECTION FREQUENCY (LERF)CORROSION (STEP 4 IN THE & NON- FOR ILRT EXTENSION ANALYSIS)

[3]. Since the risk impact assessment of the extensions to the ILRT interval is sensitive to both the probability of the leakage as well as the magnitude, it was decided to perform the expert elicitation in a manner to solicit the probability of leakage as a function of leakage magnitude.
In addition, the elicitation was performed for a range of failure modes which allowed experts to account for the range of failure mechanisms, the potential for undiscovered mechanisms, inaccessible areas of the containment as well as the potential for. detection by alternate means. The expert elicitation process has the advantage of considering the available data for small leakage events, which have occurred in the data, and extrapolate those events and probabilities of occurrence to the potential for large magnitude leakage events.The basic difference in the application of the ILRT interval methodology using the expert elicitation is a change in the probability of pre-existing leakage within containment.
The base case methodology uses the Jeffrey's non-informative prior for the large leak size and the expert elicitation sensitivity study uses the results from the expert elicitation.
In addition, given the relationship between leakage magnitude and probability, larger leakage that is more representative of large early release frequency can be reflected.
For the purposes of this sensitivity, the same leakage magnitudes that are used in the base case methodology (i.e., 1OLa for small and 10OLa for large) are used here. Table 6.2-1 illustrates the magnitudes and probabilities of a pre-existing leak in containment associated with the base case and the expert elicitation statistical treatments.
These values are used in the ILRT interval extension for the base methodology and in this sensitivity case. Details of the expert elicitation process, including the input to expert elicitation as well as the results of the expert elicitation, are available in the various appendices of EPRI 1018243 [3].TABLE 6.2-1 EPRI EXPERT ELICITATION RESULTS LEAKAGE SIZE (LA) BASE CASE MEAN EXPERT PERCENT PROBABILITY OF ELICITATION MEAN REDUCTION OCCURRENCE PROBABILITY OF OCCURRENCE

As mentioned previously, probability values are those associated with the magnitude of the leakage used in the base case evaluation (1OLa for small and 10OLa for large). The expert elicitation process produces a relationship between probability and leakage magnitude in which it is possible to assess higher leakage magnitudes that are more reflective of large early releases; however, these evaluations are not performed in this particular study.The net effect is that the reduction in the multipliers shown above also leads to a dramatic reduction on the calculated increases in the LERF values. As shown in Table 6.2-2a for IP2, the increase in the overall value for LERF due to Class 3b sequences that is due to increasing the ILRT test interval from 3 to 15 years is just 1.05E-08/yr.
Similarly, the increase due to increasing the interval from 10 to 15 years is just 4.40E-09/yr.
As shown in Table 6.2-2b for 1P3, the increase in the overall value for LERF due to Class 3b sequences that is due to increasing the ILRT test interval from 3 to 15 years is just 1.34E-08/yr.
Similarly, the increase due to increasing the interval from 10 to 15 years is just 5.60E-09/yr.
As such, if the expert elicitation probabilities of occurrence are used instead of the non-informative prior estimates, the change in LERF for IP2 and IP3 is within the range of a "very small" change in risk when compared to the current 1-in-10, or baseline 3-in-10 year requirement.
Additionally, as shown in Table 6.2-2a for IP2 and Table 6.2-2b for IP3, the increase in dose rate and CCFP are similarly reduced to much smaller values. The results of this sensitivity study are judged to be more indicative of the actual risk associated with the ILRT extension than the results from the assessment as dictated by the values from the EPRI methodology
[3], and yet are still conservative given the assumption that all of the Class 3b contribution is considered to be LERF.P0247130002-4722 6-5 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals TABLE 6.2-2A IP2 ILRT CASES: 3 IN 10 (BASE CASE), 1 IN 10, AND 1 IN 15 YR INTERVALS (BASED ON EPRI EXPERT ELICITATION LEAKAGE PROBABILITIES)

P0247130002-4722 6-7 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals
7.0 CONCLUSION
S Based on the results from Section 5 and the sensitivity calculations presented in Section 6, the following conclusions regarding the assessment of the plant risk are associated with permanently extending the Type A ILRT test frequency to fifteen years:* Reg. Guide 1.174 [4] provides guidance for determining the risk impact of plant-specific changes to the licensing basis. Reg. Guide 1.174 defines "very small" changes in risk as resulting in increases of CDF below 1.OE-06/yr and increases in LERF below 1.OE-07/yr. "Small" changes in risk are defined as increases in CDF below 1.OE-05/yr and increases in LERF below 1.OE-06/yr.
Since the ILRT extension was demonstrated to have no impact on CDF for IP2 and IP3, the relevant criterion is LERF. The increase in internal events LERF resulting from a change in the Type A ILRT test interval for the base case with corrosion included for IP2 is 9.84E-08/yr (see Table 5.6-1a). In using the EPRI Expert Elicitation methodology, the change is estimated as 1.05E-08/yr (see Table 6.2-2a). Both of these values fall within the very small change region of the acceptance guidelines in Reg. Guide 1.174. For IP3, the increase is estimated at 1.26E-07/yr (see Table 5.6-1b), which is within the small change region of the acceptance guidelines in Reg. Guide 1.174. In using the EPRI Expert Elicitation methodology, the change is estimated as 1.34E-08/yr (see Table 6.2-2b), which is within the very small change region of the acceptance guidelines in Reg. Guide 1.174.* The change in dose risk for changing the Type A test frequency from three-per-ten years to once-per-fifteen-years, measured as an increase to the total integrated dose risk for all internal events accident sequences for IP2, is 0.584 person-rem/yr (0.62%) using the EPRI guidance with the base case corrosion case (Table 5.6-1a).The change in dose risk drops to 1.11E-01 person-rem/yr when using the EPRI Expert Elicitation methodology (Table 6.2-2a). For IP3, it is 0.751 person-rem/yr (0.93%) using the EPRI guidance with the base case corrosion case (Table 5.6-1b).The change in dose risk drops to 1.42E-01 person-rem/yr when using the EPRI Expert Elicitation methodology (Table 6.2-2b). The values calculated per the EPRI guidance are all lower than the acceptance criteria of 51.0 person-rem/yr or <1.0%person-rem/yr defined in Section 1.3.* The increase in the conditional containment failure frequency from the three in ten year interval to one in fifteen years including corrosion effects using the EPRI guidance (see Section 5.5) is 0.84% for IP2 and 0.85% for IP3. This value drops to less that 0.10% for IP2 and IP3 using the EPRI Expert Elicitation methodology (see Table 6.2-2a and Table 6.2-2b, respectively).
This is below the acceptance criteria of less than 1.5% defined in Section 1.3.* To determine the potential impact from external events, a bounding assessment from the risk associated with external events utilizing information from the IP2 and IP3 IPEEEs similar to the approach used in the License Renewal SAMA analysis was performed.
As shown in Table 5.7-2a for IP2, the total increase in LERF due to internal events and the bounding external events assessment is 5.20E-07/yr.
As shown in Table 5.7-2b for IP3, the total increase in LERF due to internal events and the bounding external events assessment is 5.70E-07/yr.
Both of these values are in Region II of the Reg. Guide 1.174 acceptance guidelines.
P0247130002-4722 7-1 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals* As shown in Table 5.7-4, the same bounding analysis indicates that the total LERF from both internal and external risks is 6.78E-06/yr for IP2 and 6.34E-06/yr for IP3, which are less than the Reg. Guide 1.174 limit of 1.OE-05/yr given that the ALERF is in Region II (small change in risk)." Finally, since the external events assessment led to exceeding one of the two alternative acceptance criteria (i.e. greater than 1.0 person-rem/yr, an alternative detailed bounding external events assessment was also performed to demonstrate that the alternate 1.0% person-rem/yr criterion and the other acceptance criteria could still be met. In this case, as shown in Table 5.7-7 for IP2, the total change in LERF from both internal and external events was 5.52E-7/yr, the change in person-rem/yr was 3.28/yr representing 0.59% of the total, and the change in the CCFP was 0.89%. For IP3, the total change in LERF from both internal and external events was 5.97E-7/yr, the change in person-rem/yr was 3.55/yr representing 0.65% of the total, and the change in the CCFP was 0.89%. All of these calculated changes meet the acceptance criteria.
As shown in Table 5.7-8, this assessment indicates that the total LERF from both internal and external risks is 2.65E-06/yr for IP2 and 2.83E-06/yr for IP3, which are less than the Reg. Guide 1.174 limit of 1.OE-05/yr given that the ALERF is in Region II (small change in risk).* Including age-adjusted steel liner corrosion effects in the ILRT assessment was demonstrated to be a small contributor to the impact of extending the ILRT interval for IP2 and IP3.Therefore, increasing the ILRT interval on a permanent basis to a one-in-fifteen year frequency is not considered to be significant since it represents only a small change in the IP2 and IP3 risk profiles.Previous Assessments The NRC in NUREG-1493
[6] has previously concluded the following:
- Reducing the frequency of Type A tests (ILRTs) from three per 10 years to one per 20 years was found to lead to an imperceptible increase in risk. The estimated increase in risk is very small because ILRTs identify only a few potential containment leakage paths that cannot be identified by Type B and C testing, and the leaks that have been found by Type A tests have been only marginally above existing requirements.
- Given the insensitivity of risk to containment leakage rate and the small fraction of leakage paths detected solely by Type A testing, increasing the interval between integrated leakage-rate tests is possible with minimal impact on public risk. The impact of relaxing the ILRT frequency beyond one in 20 years has not been evaluated.
Beyond testing the performance of containment penetrations, ILRTs also test the integrity of the containment structure.
The findings for IP2 and IP3 confirm these general findings on a plant specific basis considering the severe accidents evaluated, the containment failure modes, and the local population surrounding IP2 and IP3.P0247130002-4722 7-2 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy

A. 1 OVERVIEW A technical Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) analysis is presented in this report to help support an extension of the IP2 and IP3 containment Type A test integrated leak rate test (ILRT) interval to fifteen years.The analysis follows the guidance provided in Regulatory Guide 1.200, Revision 2 [A.1], "An Approach for Determining the Technical Adequacy of Probabilistic Risk Assessment Results for Risk-Informed Activities." The guidance in RG-1.200 indicates that the following steps should be followed to perform this study: 1. Identify the parts of the PRA used to support the application" SSCs, operational characteristics affected by the application and how these are implemented in the PRA model." A definition of the acceptance criteria used for the application.
- 2. Identify the scope of risk contributors addressed by the PRA model* If not full scope (i.e. internal and external), identify appropriate compensatory measures or provide bounding arguments to address the risk contributors not addressed by the model.3. Summarize the risk assessment methodology used to assess the risk of the application
- Include how the PRA model was modified to appropriately model the risk impact of the change request.4. Demonstrate the Technical Adequacy of the PRA" Identify plant changes (design or operational practices) that have been incorporated at the site, but are not yet in the PRA model and justify why the change does not impact the PRA results used to support the application." Document peer review findings and observations that are applicable to the parts of the PRA required for the application, and for those that have not yet been addressed justify why the significant contributors would not be impacted." Document that the parts of the PRA used in the decision are consistent with applicable standards endorsed by the Regulatory Guide. Provide justification to show that where specific requirements in the standard are not met, it will not unduly impact the results." Identify key assumptions and approximations relevant to the results used in the decision-making process.Items 1 through 3 are covered in the main body of this report. The purpose of this appendix is to address the requirements identified in item 4 above. Each of these items (plant changes P0247130002-4722 A-1 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy not yet incorporated into the PRA model, relevant peer review findings, consistency with applicable PRA standards and the identification of key assumptions) are discussed in the following sections.The risk assessment performed for the ILRT extension request is based on the current Level 1 and Level 2 PRA models of record. Information developed for the license renewal effort to support the Level 2 release categories is also used in this analysis supplemented by additional calculations to more appropriately represent the intact containment case in the ILRT extension risk assessment.
Note that for this application, the accepted methodology involves a bounding approach to estimate the change in the LERF from extending the ILRT interval.
Rather than exercising the PRA model itself, it involves the establishment of separate evaluations that are linearly related to the plant CDF contribution.
Consequently, a reasonable representation of the plant CDF that does not result in a LERF does not require that Capability Category II be met in every aspect of the modeling if the Category I treatment is conservative or otherwise does not significantly impact the results.As further discussed below, the PRA models used for this application are the latest models, which were released in November 2011 (for IP2) and November 2012 (for IP3). There are no significant plant changes (design or operational practices) that have not yet been incorporated in those PRA models.A discussion of the Entergy model update process, the peer reviews performed on the IP2 and IP3 models, the results of those peer reviews and the potential impact of peer review findings on the ILRT extension risk assessment are provided in Section A.2. Section A.3 provides an assessment of key assumptions and approximations used in this assessment and Section A.4 briefly summarizes the results of the PRA technical adequacy assessment with respect to this application.
A.2 PRA UPDATE PROCESS AND PEER REVIEW RESULTS A.2.1 Introduction The Indian Point Unit 2 (IP2) and Unit 3 (IP3) Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) models used for this application
[A.2 and A.3] are the most recent evaluations of the IP2 and IP3 risk profiles for internal event challenges.
The IP2 and IP3 PRA modeling is highly detailed, including a wide variety of initiating events, modeled systems, operator actions, and common P0247130002-4722 A-2 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy cause failure events. The PRA model quantification process is based on the event tree and fault tree methodology, which is a well-known methodology in the industry.Entergy employs a multi-faceted approach to establishing and maintaining the technical adequacy and plant fidelity of the PRA models for all operating Entergy nuclear power plants.This approach includes both a proceduralized PRA maintenance and update process, and the use of self-assessments and independent peer reviews. The following information describes this approach as it applies to the IP2 and IP3 PRA models.A.2.2 PRA Maintenance and Update The Entergy risk management process ensures that the applicable PRA model is an accurate reflection of the as-built and as-operated plant. This process is defined in the Entergy fleet procedure EN-DC-151, "PSA Maintenance and Update" [A.4]. This procedure delineates the responsibilities and guidelines for updating the full power internal events PRA models at all operating Entergy nuclear power plants. In addition, the procedure also defines the process for implementing regularly scheduled and interim PRA model updates, and for tracking issues identified as potentially affecting the PRA models (e.g., due to changes in the plant, industry operating experience, etc.). To ensure that the current PRA model remains an accurate reflection of the as-built, as-operated plant, the following activities are routinely performed: " Design changes and procedure changes are reviewed for their impact on the PRA model. Potential PRA model changes resulting from these reviews are entered into the Model Change Request (MCR) database, and a determination is made regarding the significance of the change with respect to current PRA model." New engineering calculations and revisions to existing calculations are reviewed for their impact on the PRA model.* Plant specific initiating event frequencies, failure rates, and maintenance unavailabilities are updated approximately every four years, and* Industry standards, experience, and technologies are periodically reviewed to ensure that any changes are appropriately incorporated into the models.In addition, following each periodic PRA model update, Entergy performs a self-assessment to assure that the PRA quality and expectations for all current applications are met. The Entergy PRA maintenance and update procedure requires updating of all risk informed applications that may have been impacted by the update.P0247130002-4722 A-3 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy A.2.3 Regulatory Guide 1.200 PWROG Peer Review of the IP2 and IP3 Internal Events PRA Models Both the IP2 and IP3 internal events models went through a Regulatory Guide 1.200 PWR Owners Group peer review using the NEI 05-04 process.The IP2 PRA internal events model peer review was performed in December 2009, and used the American Society of Mechanical Engineers PRA Standard RA-Sb-2005, and Regulatory Guide 1.200 Revision 1. The IP3 PRA internal events model peer review was performed in December 2010. Since the IP3 peer review was later, it used RA-Sa-2009 (the American Society of Mechanical Engineers
/ American Nuclear Society Combined PRA Standard) and Regulatory Guide 1.200 Revision 2. As noted in the forward to the combined standard, the primary purpose, in addition to combining internal and external events into a single standard, was to ensure consistency in format, organization, language, and level of detail. It was also noted that, among the criteria observed in assembling the component Standards were: (a) the requirements in the Standards would not be revised or modified (b) no new requirements would be included An internal comparison of the ASME standard to the combined ASME / ANS standard confirmed that there were few substantive changes to the internal events portion of the standard, although the expected level of documentation was increased in some cases.The IP2 and IP3 PRA peer reviews addressed all the technical elements of the internal events, at-power PRA:* Initiating Events Analysis (IE)* Accident Sequence Analysis (AS)" Success Criteria (SC)" Systems Analysis (SY)" Human Reliability Analysis (HR)" Data Analysis (DA)* Internal Flooding (IF)* Quantification (QU)* LERF Analysis (LE)* Maintenance and Update Process (MU)P0247130002-4722 A-4 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy During the IP2 and IP3 PRA model peer reviews, the technical elements identified above were assessed with respect to Capability Category II criteria to better focus the Supporting Requirement assessments.
A.2.4 Peer Review Results The ASME PRA standards used for the IP2 and IP3 peer reviews each contained a total of 326 numbered supporting requirements.
A number of the supporting requirements were determined to be not applicable to the IP2 or IP3 PRA (e.g., BWR related, multi-site related).Of the applicable supporting requirements, 95% were satisfied at Capability Category II or greater for IP2, and 97% were satisfied at Capability Category II criteria or greater for IP3.The Facts and Observations (F&Os) for the IP2 PRA peer review are provided in the report, entitled, "RG 1.200 PRA Peer Review Against the ASME PRA Standard Requirements for the Indian Point 2 Nuclear Power Plant Probabilistic Risk Assessment" [A.5]. Of the 41 Facts and Observations (F&Os) generated by the Peer Review Team, 21 were considered Findings.The Facts and Observations (F&Os) for the IP3 PRA peer review are provided in the report, entitled, "RG 1.200 PRA Peer Review Against the ASME PRA Standard Requirements for the Indian Point 3 Probabilistic Risk Assessment" [A.6]. Of the 68 Facts and Observations (F&Os)generated by the Peer Review Team, 11 were considered Findings.As a result of the Regulatory Guide 1.200 PWROG peer reviews, all the F&Os (other than best practices) were identified as potential improvements to the IP2 and IP3 PRA models or documentation and were entered into the Entergy Model Change Request (MCR) database.Tables A.2-1 and A.2-2 contain the findings resulting from the peer review of each unit, the status of the resolution for each finding and the potential impact of each finding on this application.
In summary, a majority of the findings were related to documentation and have no material impact. As shown, almost all findings have been resolved and incorporated into the updated model and/or documentation.
Resolution of the few open peer review findings is expected to have, at most, a minor impact on the model and its quantitative results and no significant impact on the conclusions of this application.
In resolving the IP3 peer review findings, several additional internal flooding sources were identified as not being addressed in the original internal flooding analysis report. Most of those sources involved fire protection piping, but they also included auxiliary component cooling water (ACCW) piping in the fan house and short sections of component cooling water (CCW)P0247130002-4722 A-5 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy piping in a pipe chase in the foyer outside the charging pump rooms. These additional sources were included in the final model used for this application.
A.2.5 External Events Although EPRI report 1018243 [A.7] recommends a quantitative assessment of the contribution of external events (for example, fire and seismic) where a model of sufficient quality exists, it also recognizes that the external events assessment can be taken from existing, previously submitted and approved analyses or another alternate method of assessing an order of magnitude estimate for contribution of the external event to the impact of the changed interval.
Since the most current external events models for IP2 and IP3 are those embodied in the IPEEE, a multiplier was applied to the internal events results based on the IPEEE, similar to that used in the SAMA analysis [A.8 and A.9]. This is further discussed in Section 5.7 of the risk assessment.
A.2.6 Summary The IP2 and IP3 PRA technical capability evaluations and the maintenance and update processes described above provide a robust basis for concluding that these PRA models are suitable for use in the risk-informed process used for this application.

The analysis included the incorporation of several sensitivity studies and factored in the potential impacts from external events in a bounding fashion. None of the sensitivity studies or bounding analysis indicated any source of uncertainty or modeling assumption that would have resulted in exceeding the acceptance guidelines.
Since the accepted process utilizes a bounding analysis approach which is mostly driven by that CDF contribution which does not already lead to LERF, there are no identified key assumptions or sources of uncertainty for this application (i.e. those which would change the conclusions from the risk assessment results presented here).A.4

1.0 DESCRIPTION
Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy) is requesting an amendment to Operating License DPR-26, Docket No. 50-247 for Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit No. 2 (IP2). The proposed Technical Specification (TS) change contained herein would revise Appendix A, TS, to allow extension of the ten-year frequency of the Type A or Integrated Leak Rate Test (ILRT) that is required by TS 5.5.15 to 15 years on a permanent basis.The specific proposed changes are listed in the following section.
2.0 PROPOSED CHANGE
S The containment leakage rate testing program in Technical Specification 5.5.15 currently says"A program shall establish the leakage rate testing of the containment as required by 10 CFR 50.54(o) and 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, Option B, as modified by approved exemptions.
This program shall be in accordance with the guidelines contained in Regulatory Guide 1.163, "Performance-Based Containment Leak-Test Program," dated September, 1995." The proposed TS 5.5.15 is as follows: "A program shall establish the leakage rate testing of the containment as required by 10 CFR 50.54(o) and 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, Option B, as modified by approved exemptions.
This program shall be in accordance with NEI 94-01, Revision 2A, "Industry Guideline for Implementing Performance-Based Option of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J," October 2008."
3.0 BACKGROUND
The testing requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, provide assurance that leakage from the containment, including systems and components that penetrate the containment, do not exceed the allowable leakage values specified in the TS. Furthermore, the requirements ensure that periodic surveillance of the containment, containment penetrations and isolation valves is performed so that proper maintenance and repairs are made during the service life of the containment, the systems and penetrations.
The limitation on containment leakage provides assurance that the containment would perform its design function following an accident up to and including the plant design basis accident.
Appendix J identifies three types of required tests: (1)Type A tests, intended to measure the containment overall integrated leakage rate; (2) Type B tests, intended to detect local leaks and to measure leakage across pressure-containing or leakage limiting boundaries (other than valves) for containment penetrations; and (3) Type C tests, intended to measure containment isolation valve leakage. Type B and C tests identify the vast majority of potential containment leakage paths. Type A tests identify the overall integrated containment leakage rate and serve to ensure continued leakage integrity of the containment structure by evaluating those structural parts of the containment not covered by Type B and C testing.
NL-14-128 Docket No. 50-247 Attachment 1 Page 2 of 19 In 1995, 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, "Primary Reactor Containment Leakage Testing for Water-Cooled Power Reactors," was amended to provide a performance-based Option B for the containment leakage testing requirements.
Option B requires that test intervals for Type A, Type B, and Type C testing be determined by using a performance-based approach.
Performance-based test intervals are based on consideration of the operating history of the component and resulting risk from its failure. The use of the term "performance-based' in 10 CFR 50, Appendix J refers to both the performance history necessary to extend test intervals as well as to the criteria necessary to meet the requirements of Option B.Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.163 was also issued in 1995. The RG endorsed NEI 94-01, Revision 0,"Industry Guideline for Implementing Performance-Based Option of 10 CFR 50, Appendix J," with certain modifications and additions.
Option B, in concert with RG 1.163 and NEI 94-01, Revision 0, allows licensees with a satisfactory ILRT performance history (i.e., two consecutive, successful Type A tests) to reduce the test frequency from the containment Type A (ILRT) test from three tests in ten years to one test in ten years. This relaxation was based on an NRC risk assessment contained in NUREG-1493, "Performance-Based Containment Leak-Test Program," and Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) TR-1 04285, "Risk Impact Assessment of Revised Containment Leak Rate Testing Intervals." These documents illustrated that the risk increase associated with extending the ILRT surveillance interval was very small.By letter dated August 7, 1996, Indian Point Unit 2 submitted a TS change request, supplemented by letter dated March 12, 1997, to implement 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, Option B. The NRC approved this request as Amendment 190 issued in NRC letter of April 10, 1997. The NRC noted the proposed TS changes were in compliance with the requirements of Option B, and are consistent with the guidance in RG 1.163. With the approval of the amendment, IP2 transitioned to a performance-based ten year frequency for the Type A tests.Entergy submitted an Amendment request to extend the ILRT interval one time from ten years to 15 years in a letter dated July 13, 2001 that was supplemented by letters dated November 30, 2001 March 13, April 3, May 30, and June 13, 2002. This one-time extension was approved by the NRC, as license Amendment 232 on August 5, 2002.By letter dated August 31, 2007, NEI submitted NEI 94-01, Revision 2, and EPRI report No.1009325, Revision 2, "Risk Impact Assessment of Extended Integrated Leak Rate Testing Intervals," to the NRC Staff for review. NEI 94-01, Revision 2, describes an approach for implementing the optional performance-based requirements of Option B, which includes provisions for extending Type A intervals to up to 15 years and incorporates the regulatory positions stated in RG 1.163. It delineates a performance-based approach for determining Type A, Type B, and Type C containment leakage rate surveillance testing frequencies.
This method uses industry performance data, plant-specific performance data, and risk insights in determining the appropriate testing frequency.
NEI 94-01, Revision 2, also discusses the performance factors that licensees must consider in determining test intervals.
The NEI guideline does not address how to perform the tests because these details are included in referenced industry documents (e.g., American National Standards institute/American Nuclear Society (ANSI/ANS) 56.8-2002).
The NRC final Safety Evaluation (SE) issued by letter dated June 25, 2008, documents the evaluation and acceptance of NEI 94-01, Revision 2, subject to the specific limitations and conditions listed in Section 4.1 of the SE. The accepted version of NEI 94-01 Rev 2A was NL-14-128 Docket No. 50-247 Attachment 1 Page 3 of 19 issued as Revision 2A dated October 2008.EPRI Report No. 1009325, Revision 2, provides a risk impact assessment for optimized ILRT intervals of up to 15 years, using current industry performance data and risk-informed guidance, primarily Revision 1 of RG 1.174, "An Approach for using Probabilistic Risk Assessment in Risk-Informed Decisions on Plant-Specific Changes to the Licensing Basis." The NRC's final SE issued by letter dated June 25, 2008, documents the evaluation and acceptance of EPRI Report No.1009325, Revision 2, subject to the specific limitations and conditions listed in Section 4.2 of the SE. An accepted version of EPRI Report No. 1009325 has subsequently been issued as Revision 2A (also identified as Technical Report TR-1 018243) dated October 2008.The proposed amendment would revise TS 5.5.14, "Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program," by replacing the reference to Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.163, "Performance-Based Containment Leak Test Program," with a reference to Nuclear Energy institute (NEI) topical report NEI 94-01,"Industry Guideline for implementing Performance-Based Option of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J," Revision 2A, dated October 2008, as the implementation document used by Entergy to develop the Indian Point 2 performance-based leakage testing program in accordance with Option B of 10 CFR 50, Appendix J (Option B).Revision 2A of NEI 94-01 describes an approach for implementing the optional performance-based requirements of Option B, including provisions for extending primary containment integrated leak rate test (ILRT) intervals to 15 years, and incorporates the regulatory positions stated in RG 1.163.In the SE issued by NRC letter dated June 25, 2008, the NRC concluded that NEI 94-01, Revision 2, describes an acceptable approach for implementing the optional performance-based requirements of Option B, and found that NEI 94-01, Revision 2, is acceptable for referencing by licensees proposing to amend their TS in regard to containment leakage rate testing, subject to the limitations and conditions noted in Section 4.0 of the SE. IPEC is not applying for the extended Type C performance based testing beyond 60 months but will be adopting the testing criteria ANSI/ANS 56.8 -2002 rather than the criteria of ANSI/ANS 56.8 -1994.The proposed extension of the interval for the primary containment ILRT, which is currently required to be performed at ten year intervals, to 15 years from the last ILRT would revise the next scheduled ILRT to March 2021 as opposed to the ILRT currently scheduled for March 2016. This is approximately 15 years since the last ILRT which was completed in April 2006.The currently proposed change would allow successive ILRTs to be performed at 15-year intervals (assuming acceptable performance history).
The performance of fewer ILRTs would result in significant savings in radiation exposure to personnel, cost, and critical path time during future refueling outages.4.0 Technical Evaluation As required by 10 CFR 50.54(o), the IP2 containment is subject to the requirements set forth in 10 CFR 50, Appendix J. Option B of Appendix J which requires that test intervals for Type A, Type B, and Type C testing be determined by using a performance-based approach.
Currently, the 10 CFR 50 Appendix J Testing Program Plan is based on RG 1.163, which endorses NEI 94-01, Revision 0. This LAR proposes to revise the 10 CFR 50, Appendix J Testing Program Plan by implementing the guidance in NEI 94-01, Revision 2A but will not extend the Type B and C leakage beyond 60 months. Testing will be performed in accordance with ANSI/ANS 56.8 -2002.

4.3 Previous Test results 4.3.1 ILRT Test Results Past IP2 ILRT results have confirmed that the containment is acceptable with respect to the design criterion of 0.1% leakage of containment air weight at the design basis loss of coolant accident pressure (La). Since the last two Type A "as found" tests for IP2 had "as found" test results of less than 1.01La, a test frequency of 15 years in accordance with NEI 94-01 Revision 2A would be acceptable.
The last two tests were: 1. The last ILRT in April 2006 had a measured containment leak rate (Ltm) at the test pressure of 60.5 psia was 0.0636 % containment air weight / day with a 95% confidence level.2. The prior ILRT in June 1991 had a measured containment leak rate (Ltm) at the test pressure of 61.7 psia was 0.0478 % containment air weight / day with a 95% confidence level.For background, the prior three Type A tests had the following results:

This inspection will be performed as part of the Containment Inservice Inspection (ISI)Plan to implement the requirements of ASME, Section Xl, Subsection IWE and IWL (the applicable code edition and addenda for the fourth 10 year interval is ASME Section Xl, 2001 Edition including the 2002 and 2003 Addenda in paragraph (b)(2)).The examination performed in accordance with the ISI program to meet Subsections IWE and IWL satisfies the general visual examination requirements specified in Option B. The identification and evaluation of inaccessible areas are addressed in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(ix).
Each ten year ISI interval is divided into three approximately equal inspection periods. A minimum of one inspection required by the IWE inspection program is performed during each inspection period of the ISI period to meet the program requirements.
IWL visual examinations of accessible concrete containment surfaces are to be completed once every 5 years within the limitations specified in IWL-2410(b), (c), and (d) resulting in at least two IWL examinations being performed during a 15 year type A and typically scheduled in two of the three inspection periods of a 10 year ISI interval.
Therefore, the frequency of the examinations performed in accordance with the IWE / IWL program will satisfy the requirements of NEI 94-01 Revision 2A, Section 9.2.3.2, to perform a general visual examination before the Type A test during at least three other outages before the next Type A test if the interval is extended to 15 years. The last ILRT was performed April 2006 and the next 15 year interval will end 12 months after 2R24 scheduled for the spring of 2020. The following Tables illustrates the current and planned inspection intervals for the IP2 first and second IWE inspection intervals:

NL-14-128 Docket No. 50-247 Attachment 1 Page 11 of 19 The IWL inspections are performed per the following schedule: Table 4.4.2 IWL Inspections Inspection Interval Inspection Period IWL Inspection Dates 1 1 June 2000 1 2 June 2005 1 3 June 2010 2 1 June 2015 2 2 June 2020 For IP2 the First Interval CII Program Plan was originally effective from September 9, 1996, through and including May 9, 2010. This time period has been shortened to end on February 28, 2007. IWE Containment inservice examinations scheduled for the first 40-month period were completed during the Third Period of the Third ISI Inspection Interval.
These examinations now serve the same purpose as pre-service baseline examinations.
The required IWL inservice examinations were also completed and re-inspections are scheduled at 5 year frequency.
The Second Ten-Year Interval for IWE Containment ISI inspections at IP2 will commence on March 1, 2007 coincident with the start of the Fourth 10-Year ISI Program Interval.
Therefore, both the ISI and the CII IWE & IWL Program Plans will be aligned with the Fourth Interval ISI Program schedule and ASME Code requirements.
The following information provides the IP2 IWE examination results of the containment metal liner completed during refuel outages 2R18 (2008), 2R20 (2012) and 2R21 (2014) and the IWL examination results for the containment concrete visual inspections completed in 2005 and 2010 (these are not always completed in an outage). The next IWE examination is scheduled for 2R23 (2018) prior to the proposed date for the next ILRT. The next IWL examination is scheduled for 2016 and the inspection will also be scheduled prior to the proposed date for the next ILRT 2R24 (2020). Corrective Actions identified by these inspections are provided with the discussions.
There are no primary containment surface areas that require augmented examination in accordance with ASME Section XI, IWE-1240.4.4.1 IWE Examinations IP2 IWE containment inspection for the current fourth ISI interval was performed on 2008 -2R18 outage, 2012 -2R20 outage and 2014- 2R21 outage.Refueling Outage 2R18 (2008) Containment Inservice Inspection Examinations were performed for the Containment Surfaces (Containment Vessel Accessible Surface Areas, Bolted connections, Wall and Dome Liner and Moisture Barriers) during 2R18 in 2008. There were some deficiencies noted such as general surface corrosion, minor coating peeling/flaking, blistered paint, loose stainless steel insulation panels and buckling stainless steel insulation panels (VC liner inaccessible) at columns 10 and 11 elevation 68'.The general surface corrosion, minor coating peeling/flaking and blistered paint were previously identified and evaluated.
These conditions were a repeat of previous inspections and were minor with no change and therefore acceptable.
NL-14-128 Docket No. 50-247 Attachment 1 Page 12 of 19 The condition of the buckling locations and looseness on the VC liner plate insulation was documented in the Corrective Action Program as Condition Report CR-IP2-2008-01892.
Civil Engineering performed an inspection of the stainless steel insulation jacket and has determined that all but 2 of the insulation jacket issues are acceptable.
The two areas not acceptable were repaired during 2R1 8 outage.Refueling Outage 2R20 (2012) Containment Inservice Inspection Examinations were performed for the Containment Surfaces (Containment Vessel Accessible Surface Areas, Bolted connections, Wall and Dome Liner and Moisture Barriers) during 2R20 in 2012. Most of the findings such as surface corrosion and minor coating flaking and peeling were a repeat of previous inspections and were minor with no change and therefore acceptable.
There were also some deficiencies noted on the Electrical penetration
- 69 of the Containment Building penetrations; there was observed water seeping adjacent to penetration
- 69. This condition was documented in IP2 Corrective Action Program under Condition Report CR-1P2-2012-01760.
Civil Design engineering walked down the penetration and the water seepage is from areas where crack/delimitation repairs where performed back in 2000. The water seepage observed has no adverse effect on the penetration as it is not emanating from the penetration sleeve. The seal around the penetration is intact and the inside of the penetration itself is dry. This penetration was also looked at from the inside of the VC during the Maintenance Rule Inspection and no anomalies were observed.All of the conditions noted during this inspection did not result in any structural degradation that adversely affects the ability of the containment to perform its design function of maintaining integrity during accident conditions.
Refueling Outage 2R21 (2014) Containment Inservice Inspection Examinations were performed for the Containment Surfaces (Containment Vessel Accessible Surface Areas, Bolted connections, Wall and Dome Liner and Moisture Barriers) during 2R21 in 2014. Most of the findings were a repeat of previous inspections and were minor with no change and therefore acceptable.
All NDE examination reports were accepted during the 2014 containment inspection therefore no condition reports were generated.
4.4.2 IWL Examinations The inspections are general visual inspections performed in accordance with the requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, 1998 Edition,Section XI. Division 1, Subsection IWL as required and modified by NRC, Code of Federal Regulation, Title 10, Part 50, Section 55a, "Codes and Standards,"(10 CFR 50.55a -1999). When needed, optical enhancement equipment with zoom capabilities are used as visual aids during the inspections.
All of the inspections are performed under the direction of the IWL Responsible Engineer (RE). The RE is the Civil/Structural Design Engineering Supervisor at IPEC and a New York State Registered Professional Engineer in accordance with the IWL Procedure.
The Responsible Engineer has knowledge of the Design and Construction Codes as well as other criterion used in IP2's Containment.
Degreed engineers perform the inspections under the direction of the RE and are knowledgeable and trained in the design, evaluation and performance requirements of structures and qualified to perform visual examination either directly or remotely, with adequate illumination, to detect evidence of degradation.
NL-14-128 Docket No. 50-247 Attachment 1 Page 13 of 19 The second period of the first interval of the IP2 IWL containment inspection was performed in the spring of 2005 and documented in IP-RPT-06-00019.
Visual examinations were performed of all accessible areas of the containment building exterior concrete including areas visible from inside other surrounding buildings.
The concrete exhibited signs of normal weathering that are to be expected for the time period that it has been in service. These indications include minor cracking to due pressurization, and minor areas of spalling with exposed rebar and cadwelds.
The spalling at the cadwelds appears to be due to lack of concrete cover as a result of the cadwelds having twice the diameter as the rebar. There were also some locations of efflorescence which were determined to be unchanged since the previous inspection and thus deemed inactive.
Several areas of rust bleeding were identified but easily attributed to the lightning arrestors and the duct work and have no impact on the structural capacity of the containment building.
All together there were 91 recordable indications identified during the inspection however all of them have been evaluated and are not structural concerns.
None of the indications reduce the structural capacity or ability of the containment structure to perform its safety function.
Based on condition of inspected areas it was not deemed necessary to inspect non-accessible areas. No condition reports or work orders were required as a result of the inspection.
The third period of the first interval of the IP2 IWL containment inspection was performed in the spring of 2010 and documented in IP-RPT-10-00027.
Visual examinations were performed of all accessible areas of the containment building exterior concrete including areas visible from inside other surrounding buildings.
The concrete exhibited signs of normal weathering that are to be expected for the time period that it has been in service. These indications include minor cracking to due pressurization, and minor areas of spalling with exposed rebar and cadwelds.
The spalling at the cadwelds appears to be due to lack of concrete cover as a result of the cadwelds having twice the diameter as the rebar. There were also some locations of efflorescence which were determined to be unchanged since the previous inspection and thus deemed inactive.
Several areas of rust bleeding were identified but easily attributed to the lightning arrestors and the duct work and have no impact on the structural capacity of the containment building.
All together there were 125 recordable indications identified during the inspection which increased from the 91 identified in the previous inspection.
This is partially attributed to the ILRT performed in 2006 which caused several of the previous identified areas of potential future spalling to indeed spall. In the fall of 2009 several of the previously identified areas were cleaned and a coating was applied to protect the exposed steel from future corrosion.
All of the recordable indications identified during the inspection have been evaluated and are not structural concerns.
None of the indications reduce the structural capacity or ability of the containment structure to perform its safety function.
Based on condition of inspected areas it was not deemed necessary to inspect non-accessible areas. No condition reports or work orders were required as a result of the inspection.
4.5 Confirmatory Analysis 4.5.1 Methodology An evaluation has been performed to assess the risk impact of extending the IP2 ILRT interval from the current ten years to 15 years. This plant-specific risk assessment followed the guidance in NEI 94-01, Revision 2A, the methodology outlined in EPRI TR-1 04285, August 1994 and TR-1 009325, Revision 2A, and the NRC regulatory guidance outlined in RG 1.174 on the use of Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) findings and risk insights in support of a request to change the licensing basis of the plant. In addition, the methodology used for Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant to estimate the likelihood and risk implication of corrosion-induced leakage of steel containment liners going undetected during the extended ILRT interval was also used for sensitivity analysis.
NL-14-128 Docket No. 50-247 Attachment 1 Page 14 of 19 In their June 25, 2008, SE, the NRC concluded that a 15 year extension to the Type A ILRT interval was acceptable and that the methodology in EPRI TR-1009325, Revision 2, is acceptable for referencing in a proposal to amend TS to extend the ILRT surveillance interval to 15 years. This approval was subject to the limitations and conditions noted in Section 4.0 of the SE. The following Table 4.5-1 lists the SE Section 4.2 Limitations and Conditions and a description of how the IP2 analysis complies with those four limitations and conditions Table 4.5 -1 Limitations and Conditions of Risk IP2 Compliance Assessment The licensee submits documentation The technical adequacy of the IP2 PRA and indicating that the technical adequacy of their consistency with the RG 1.200 requirements PRA is consistent with the requirements of relevant to the ILRT extension are discussed in RG 1.200 relevant to the ILRT extension Section 4.5.2 and detailed in Appendix A of application.
Attachment 3.The licensee submits documentation The IP2 risk evaluation is summarized in indicating that the estimated risk increase Section 4.5.3 and described in detail in associated with permanently extending the Attachment
- 3. The results of that ILRT surveillance interval to 15 years is small, evaluation demonstrate that the estimated and consistent with the clarification provided risk increase is small and consistent with in Section 3.2.4.5 of this SE. Specifically, a the criteria discussed in the SE.small increase in population dose should be defined as an increase in population dose of less than or equal to either 1.0 person-rem per year or 1 percent of the total population dose, whichever is less restrictive.
In addition, a small increase in CCFP should be defined as a value marginally greater than that accepted in previous one-time 15-year ILRT extension requests.
This would require that the increase in CCFP be less than or equal to 1.5 percentage point. While acceptable for this application, the NRC staff is not endorsing these threshold values for other applications.
Consistent with this limitation and condition, EPRI Report No. 1009325 will be revised in the "-A" version of the report, to change the population dose acceptance guidelines and the CCFP guidelines.
The methodology in EPRI Report No. The IP2 analysis used a pre-existing containment 1009325, Revision 2, is acceptable except for leak rate of 1 0OLa to calculate the increase in the calculation of the increase in expected population dose for the large leak rate accident population dose (per year of reactor case (EPRI Class 3b) .(Attachment 3, Section operation).
In order to make the methodology 1.3).acceptable, the average leak rate for the pre-existing containment large leak rate accident case (accident case 3b) used by the licensees shall be 100 La instead of 35 La.

4.5.2 PRA Quality The risk assessment performed for the IP2 ILRT extension request is based on the current Level 1 and Level 2 PRA model of record, which was released in November 2011. Information developed for the license renewal effort to support the Level 2 release categories is also used in this analysis supplemented by additional calculations to more appropriately represent the intact containment case in the ILRT extension risk assessment.
A discussion of the Entergy model update process, the peer review performed on the IP2 model, the results of that peer review and the potential impact of peer review findings on the ILRT extension risk assessment are provided in Attachment 3, Section A.2.It should be noted that, while the analysis presented in Attachment 3 was performed for both IP2 and IP3, this submittal only addresses a LAR for IP2. The IP2 information presented in Attachment 3 is therefore informational only and not part of the basis for the current LAR.4.5.3 Summary of Plant-Specific Risk Assessment Results The findings of the IP2 risk assessment confirm the general findings of previous studies that the risk impact associated with extending the ILRT interval to one in 15 years is small. The IP2 plant-specific results for extending the ILRT interval to 15 years, taken from Attachment 3, Section 7.0, Conclusions, are summarized below.1. Reg. Guide 1.174 provides guidance for determining the risk impact of plant-specific changes to the licensing basis. Reg. Guide 1.174 defines "very small" changes in risk as resulting in increases of CDF below 1.OE-06/yr and increases in LERF below 1.OE-07/yr. "Small" changes in risk are defined as increases in CDF below 1.0E-05/yr and increases in LERF below 1.OE-06/yr. Since the ILRT extension was demonstrated to have no impact on CDF for IP2, the relevant criterion is LERF. The increase in internal events LERF resulting from a change in the Type A ILRT test interval for the base case with corrosion included for IP2 is estimated at 9.84E-08 /yr (see Attachment 3, Table 5.6-1A), which is within the small change region of the acceptance guidelines in Reg. Guide 1.174. In using the EPRI Expert Elicitation methodology, the change is estimated as 1.05E-08 /yr (see Attachment 3, Table 6.2-2A), which is within the very small change region of the acceptance guidelines in Reg. Guide 1.174.2. The change in dose risk for changing the Type A test frequency from three-per-ten years to once-per-fifteen-years, measured as an increase to the total integrated dose risk for all internal events accident sequences is 0.584 person-rem/yr (0.62%) using the EPRI guidance with the base case corrosion case (Attachment 3, Table 5.6-1A). The change in dose risk drops to 0.111 person-rem/yr when using the EPRI Expert Elicitation methodology (Attachment 3, Table 6.2-2A).
NL-14-128 Docket No. 50-247 Attachment 1 Page 16 of 19 3. The increase in the conditional containment failure frequency from the three in ten year interval to one in fifteen years including corrosion effects using the EPRI guidance (see Section 5.5) is 0.84% for IP2. This value drops to less that 0.10% for IP2 using the EPRI Expert Elicitation methodology (see Attachment 3 Table 6.2-2A). This is below the acceptance criteria of less than 1.5% defined Attachment 3 in Section 1.3.4. To determine the potential impact from external events, a bounding assessment from the risk associated with external events utilizing information from the IP2 IPEEEs similar to the approach used in the License Renewal SAMA analysis.
As shown in Attachment 3 Table 5.7-2A the total increase in LERF for IP2 due to internal events and the bounding external events assessment is 5.20E-07/yr.
This value is in Region II of the Reg. Guide 1.174 acceptance guidelines.
- 5. As shown in Attachment 3, Table 5.7-4, the same bounding analysis indicates that the total LERF from both internal and external risks is 6.78E-06/yr for IP2, which is less than the Reg.Guide 1.174 limit of 1.OE-05/yr given that the ALERF is in Region II (small change in risk).6. Finally, since the external events assessment led to exceeding one of the two alternative acceptance criteria (i.e. greater than 1.0 person-rem/yr, an alternative detailed bounding external events assessment was also performed to demonstrate that the alternate 1.0%person-rem/yr criterion and the other acceptance criteria could still be met. In this case, as shown in Attachment 3, Table 5.7-7 for IP2, the total change in LERF from both internal and external events was 5.52E-7/yr, the change in person-rem/yr was 3.28/yr representing 0.59%of the total, and the change in the CCFP was 0.89%. All of these calculated changes meet the acceptance criteria.
As shown in Attachment 3, Table 5.7-8, this assessment indicates that the total LERF from both internal and external risks is 2.65E-06/yr for IP2, which is less than the Reg. Guide 1.174 limit of 1.OE-05/yr given that the ALERF is in Region II (small change in risk).7. Including age-adjusted steel liner corrosion effects in the ILRT assessment was demonstrated to be a small contributor to the impact of extending the ILRT interval for IP2.Therefore, increasing the ILRT interval on a permanent basis to a one-in-fifteen year frequency is not considered to be risk significant.
Details of the IP2 risk assessment are contained in Attachment 3.4.6 Conclusion NEI 94-01, Revision 2A, describes an NRC-accepted approach for implementing the performance-based requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, Option B. It incorporates the regulatory positions stated in RG 1.163 and includes provisions for extending Type A intervals to 15 years. NEI 94-01, Revision 2A delineates a performance-based approach for determining Type A, Type B, and Type C containment leakage rate surveillance test frequencies.
IP2 is proposing to adopt the guidance of NEI 94-01, Revision 2A for the 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, testing program plan and the ANSI/ANS 56.8 -2002 standard for Type A, B and C tests..Based on the previous ILRT tests conducted at IP2, supplemented by risk analysis studies, including the IP2 risk analysis provided in Attachment 3, it may be concluded that extension of the containment ILRT interval from ten to 15 years represents minimal risk performed in accordance with Option B and inspected per the guidance NEI-94-01 Revision 2A.
NL-14-128 Docket No. 50-247 Attachment 1 Page 17 of 19 5.0 REGULATORY ANALYSIS 5.1 No Significant Hazards Consideration Entergy has evaluated the safety significance of the proposed change to the IP2 TS which revise IP2 TS 3.5.15, "Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program," to allow a permanent extension to the frequency of Type A testing based upon performance criteria.
The proposed changes have been evaluated according to the criteria of 10 CFR 50.92, "Issuance of Amendment".
Entergy has determined that the subject changes do not involve a Significant Hazards Consideration, as discussed below 1. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
Response:
No.The proposed amendment involves changes to the IP2 containment leakage rate testing program. The proposed amendment does not involve a physical change to the plant or a change in the manner in which the plant is operated or controlled.
The primary containment function is to provide an essentially leak tight barrier against the uncontrolled release of radioactivity to the environment for postulated accidents.
As such, the containment itself and the testing requirements to periodically demonstrate the integrity of the containment exist to ensure the plant's ability to mitigate the consequences of an accident do not involve any accident precursors or initiators.
Therefore, the probability of occurrence of an accident previously evaluated is not significantly increased by the proposed amendment.
The proposed amendment adopts the NRC accepted guidelines of NEI 94-01, Revision 2A, for development of the IP2 performance-based testing program for the Type A testing.Implementation of these guidelines continues to provide adequate assurance that during design basis accidents, the primary containment and its components would limit leakage rates to less than the values assumed in the plant safety analyses.
The potential consequences of extending the ILRT interval to 15 years have been evaluated by analyzing the resulting changes in risk. The increase in risk in terms of person-rem per year within 50 miles resulting from design basis accidents was estimated to be acceptably small and determined to be within the guidelines published in RG 1.174. Additionally, the proposed change maintains defense-in-depth by preserving a reasonable balance among prevention of core damage, prevention of containment failure, and consequence mitigation.
Entergy has determined that the increase in conditional containment failure probability due to the proposed change would be very small. Therefore, it is concluded that the proposed amendment does not significantly increase the consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
NL-14-128 Docket No. 50-247 Attachment 1 Page 18 of 19 2. Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?
Response:
No.The proposed amendment adopts the NRC-accepted guidelines of NEI 94-01, Revision 2A, for the development of the IP2 performance-based leakage testing program, and establishes a 15-year interval for the performance of the containment ILRT. The containment and the testing requirements to periodically demonstrate the integrity of the containment exist to ensure the plant's ability to mitigate the consequences of an accident do not involve any accident precursors or initiators.
The proposed change does not involve a physical change to the plant (i.e., no new or different type of equipment will be installed) or a change to the manner in which the plant is operated or controlled.
Therefore, the proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated.
- 3. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?Response:
No.The proposed amendment adopts the NRC-accepted guidelines of NEI 94-01, Revision 2A, for the development of the IP2 performance-based leakage testing program, and establishes a 15-year interval for the performance of the containment ILRT. This amendment does not alter the manner in which safety limits, limiting safety system setpoints, or limiting conditions for operation are determined.
The specific requirements and conditions of the containment leakage rate testing program, as defined in the TS, ensure that the degree of primary containment structural integrity and leak-tightness that is considered in the plant's safety analysis is maintained.
The overall containment leakage rate limit specified by the TS is maintained, and the Type A containment leakage tests would be performed at the frequencies established in accordance with the NRC-accepted guidelines of NEI 94-01, Revision 2A with no change to the 60 month frequencies of Type B, and Type C tests.Containment inspections performed in accordance with other plant programs serve to provide a high degree of assurance that the containment would not degrade in a manner that is not detectable by an ILRT. A risk assessment using the current IP2 PSA model concluded that extending the ILRT test interval from ten years to 15 years results in a very small change to the risk profile.Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.Based on the above, Entergy concludes that the proposed amendment to the Indian Point 2 Technical Specifications presents no significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c), and accordingly, a finding of 'no significant hazards consideration' is justified.
NL-14-128 Docket No. 50-247 Attachment 1 Page 19 of 19 5.2 Applicable Regulatory Requirements
/ Criteria The NRC Order of February 11, 1980 required an evaluation of the degree of compliance with the GDC at the time. This section discusses continued compliance with certain of those criteria.The plant will continue to meet Criterion 1 of 10 CFR 50.36 which says "Structures, systems and components important to safety shall be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety functions to be performed.
Where generally recognized codes and standards are used, they shall be identified and evaluated to determine their applicability, adequacy, and sufficiency and shall be supplemented or modified as necessary to assure a quality product in keeping with the required safety function.
A quality assurance program shall be established and implemented in order to provide adequate assurance that these structures, systems and components will satisfactorily perform their safety functions.
Appropriate records of the design, fabrication, erection, and testing of structures, systems and components important to safety shall be maintained by or under the control of the nuclear power plant licensee throughout the life of the unit' and Criterion 3 which says "Structures, systems, and components important to safety shall be designed to withstand the effects of natural phenomena such as earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, tsunami, and seiches without loss of capability to perform their safety functions.
The design bases for these structures, systems and components shall reflect: (1) appropriate consideration of the most severe of the natural phenomena that have been historically reported for the site and surrounding area, with sufficient margin for the limited accuracy, quantity, and period of time in which the historical data have been accumulated, (2)appropriate combinations of the effects of normal and accident conditions with the effects of the natural phenomena and (3) the importance of the safety functions to be performed." The extension of the duration of the ILRT for the containment will not affect the design, fabrication, or construction of the containment structure and the design will continue to account for the effects of natural phenomena.
The ILRT of the containment will continue to be done in accordance with 10 CFR 50 Appendix J using 10 CFR 50 Appendix B quality standards.
The frequency of the ILRT is being changed in accordance with standards reviewed and approved as compliant with Appendix J. Therefore there will be no instances where the applicable regulatory criteria are not met.5.3 Environmental Considerations The proposed changes to the IP2 TS do not involve (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) a significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluent that may be released offsite, or (iii) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.
Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9).
Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.
PRECEDENCE This request is similar in nature to the license amendment authorized by the NRC on April 22, 2012 for the Palisades Nuclear Plant (TAC No. ME5997, Accession Number ML120740081).

A-18 P0247130002-4722 iii Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy 1.0 PURPOSE OF ANALYSIS 1.1 PURPOSE The purpose of this analysis is to provide an assessment of the risk associated with implementing a permanent extension of the Indian Point Units 2 and 3 (IP2 and IP3)containment Type A integrated leak rate test (ILRT) interval from ten years to fifteen years.The risk assessment follows the guidelines from NEI 94-01 [1], the methodology outlined in EPRI TR-104285
[2], the EPRI Risk Impact Assessment of Extended Integrated Leak Rate Testing Intervals
[3], the NRC regulatory guidance on the use of Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) findings and risk insights in support of a request for a plant's licensing basis as outlined in Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.174 [4], and the methodology used for Calvert Cliffs to estimate the likelihood and risk implications of corrosion-induced leakage of steel liners going undetected during the extended test interval [5]. The format of this document is consistent with the intent of the Risk Impact Assessment Template for evaluating extended integrated leak rate testing intervals provided in the October 2008 EPRI final report [3].
1.2 BACKGROUND
Revisions to 10CFR50, Appendix J (Option B) allow individual plants to extend the Integrated Leak Rate Test (ILRT) Type A surveillance testing requirements from three-in-ten years to at least once per ten years. The revised Type A frequency is based on an acceptable performance history defined as two consecutive periodic Type A tests at least 24 months apart in which the calculated performance leakage was less than the normal containment leakage of 1.OLa (allowable leakage).The basis for a 10-year test interval is provided in Section 11.0 of NEI 94-01, Revision 0, and was established in 1995 during development of the performance-based Option B to Appendix J.Section 11.0 of NEI 94-01 states that NUREG-1493
[6], "Performance-Based Containment Leak Test Program," provides the technical basis to support rulemaking to revise leakage rate testing requirements contained in Option B to Appendix J. The basis consisted of qualitative and quantitative assessments of the risk impact (in terms of increased public dose) associated with a range of extended leakage rate test intervals.
To supplement the NRC's rulemaking basis, NEI undertook a similar study. The results of that study are documented in Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Research Project Report TR-104285
[2].The NRC report on performance-based leak testing, NUREG-1493, analyzed the effects of containment leakage on the health and safety of the public and the benefits realized from the containment leak rate testing. In that analysis, it was determined for a representative PWR P0247130002-4722 1-1 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy plant (i.e., Surry) that containment isolation failures contribute less than 0.1 percent to the latent risks from reactor accidents.
Because ILRTs represent substantial resource expenditures, it is desirable to show that extending the ILRT interval will not lead to a substantial increase in risk from containment isolation failures to support a reduction in the test frequency for IP2 and IP3.Earlier ILRT frequency extension submittals have used the EPRI TR-104285
[2] methodology to perform the risk assessment.
In October 2008, EPRI 1018243 [3] was issued to develop a generic methodology for the risk impact assessment for ILRT interval extensions to 15 years using current performance data and risk informed guidance, primarily NRC Regulatory Guide 1.174 [4]. This more recent EPRI document considers the change in population dose, large early release frequency (LERF), and containment conditional failure probability (CCFP), whereas EPRI TR-104285 considered only the change in risk based on the change in population dose. This ILRT interval extension risk assessment for IP2 and IP3 employs the EPRI 1018243 methodology, with the affected System, Structure, or Component (SSC) being the primary containment boundary.1.3 ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA The acceptance guidelines in RG 1.174 are used to assess the acceptability of this permanent extension of the Type A test interval beyond that established during the Option B rulemaking of Appendix J. RG 1.174 defines very small changes in the risk-acceptance guidelines as increases in core damage frequency (CDF) less than 1.OE-06 per reactor year and increases in large early release frequency (LERF) less than 1.OE-07 per reactor year. Note that a separate discussion in Section 5.8 confirms that the CDF is not impacted by the proposed change for IP2 and IP3. Therefore, since the Type A test does not impact CDF for IP2 and IP3, the relevant criterion is the change in LERF. RG 1.174 also defines small changes in LERF as below 1.OE-06 per reactor year, provided that the total LERF from all contributors (including external events)can be reasonably shown to be less than 1.OE-05 per reactor year. RG 1.174 discusses defense-in-depth and encourages the use of risk analysis techniques to help ensure and show that key principles, such as the defense-in-depth philosophy, are met. Therefore, the increase in the conditional containment failure probability (CCFP) is also calculated to help ensure that the defense-in-depth philosophy is maintained.
With regard to population dose, examinations of NUREG-1493 and Safety Evaluation Reports (SERs) for one-time interval extension (summarized in Appendix G of [3]) indicate a range of incremental increases in population dose 1 that have been accepted by the NRC. The range of 1 The one-time extensions assumed a large leak (EPRI class 3b) magnitude of 35La, whereas this P0247130002-4722 1-2 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy incremental population dose increases is from _<0.01 to 0.2 person-rem/yr and 0.002 to 0.46%of the total accident dose. The total doses for the spectrum of all accidents (Figure 7-2 of NUREG-1493) result in health effects that are at least two orders of magnitude less than the NRC Safety Goal Risk. Given these perspectives, the NRC SER on this issue [7] defines a small increase in population dose as an increase of 5 1.0 person-rem per year, or 51 0% of the total population dose, whichever is less restrictive for the risk impact assessment of the extended ILRT intervals.
This definition has been adopted by the IP2/IP3 analysis.The acceptance criteria are summarized below.1. The estimated risk increase associated with permanently extending the ILRT surveillance interval to 15 years must be demonstrated to be small. (Note that Regulatory Guide 1.174 defines very small changes in risk as increases in CDF less than 1.OE-6 per reactor year and increases in LERF less than 1.OE-7 per reactor year. Since the type A ILRT test is not expected to impact CDF for Indian Point, the relevant risk metric is the change in LERF. Regulatory Guide 1.174 also defines small risk increase as a change in LERF of less than 1.OE-6 reactor year.) Therefore, a small change in risk for this application is defined as a LERF increase of less than 1.OE-6.2. Per the NRC SE, a small increase in population dose is also defined as an increase in population dose of less than or equal to either 1.0 person-rem per year or 1 percent of the total population dose, whichever is less restrictive.
- 3. In addition, the SE notes that a small increase in Conditional Containment Failure Probability (CCFP) should be defined as a value marginally greater than that accepted in previous one-time 15-year ILRT extension requests (typically about 1% or less, with the largest increase being 1.2%). This would require that the increase in CCFP be less than or equal to 1.5 percentage points.analysis uses lOOLa.P0247130002-4722 1-3 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy 2.0 METHODOLOGY A simplified bounding analysis approach consistent with the EPRI methodology is used for evaluating the change in risk associated with increasing the test interval to fifteen years [3].The analysis uses results from a Level 2 analysis of core damage scenarios from the current IP2 and IP3 PRA analyses of record and the subsequent containment responses to establish the various fission product release categories including the release size.The six general steps of this assessment are as follows: 1. Quantify the baseline risk in terms of the frequency of events (per reactor year) for each of the eight containment release scenario types identified in the EPRI report [3].2. Develop plant-specific population dose rates (person-rem per reactor year) for each of the eight containment release scenario types from plant specific consequence analyses.3. Evaluate the risk impact (i.e., the change in containment release scenario type frequency and population dose) of extending the ILRT interval to fifteen years.4. Determine the change in risk in terms of Large Early Release Frequency (LERF) in accordance with RG 1.174 and compare this change with the acceptance guidelines of RG 1.174 [4].5. Determine the impact on the Conditional Containment Failure Probability (CCFP)6. Evaluate the sensitivity of the results to assumptions in the liner corrosion analysis and to variations in the fractional contributions of large isolation failures (due to liner breach) to LERF.Furthermore," Consistent with the previous industry containment leak risk assessments, the IP2 and IP3 assessment uses population dose as one of the risk measures.
The other risk measures used in the IP2 and IP3 assessment are the conditional containment failure probability (CCFP) for defense-in-depth considerations, and change in LERF to demonstrate that the acceptance guidelines from RG 1.174 are met." This evaluation for IP2 and IP3 uses ground rules and methods to calculate changes in the above risk metrics that are consistent with those outlined in the current EPRI methodology
[3].P0247130002-4722 2-1 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy 3.0 GROUND RULES The following ground rules are used in the analysis: " The IP2 and IP3 Level 1 and Level 2 internal events PRA models provide representative core damage frequency and release category frequency distributions to be utilized in this analysis." It is appropriate to use the IP2 and IP3 internal events PRA model as a gauge to effectively describe the risk change attributable to the ILRT extension.
It is reasonable to assume that the impact from the ILRT extension (with respect to percent increases in population dose) will not substantially differ if external events were to be included in the calculations; however, external events have been accounted for in the analysis based on the available information from the IP2 and IP3 IPEEEs [8, 9] as reported and used in the IP2 and IP3 SAMA analysis performed as part of the License Renewal efforts as described in Section 5.7." Dose results for the containment failures modeled in the PRA can be characterized by information that was prepared to support the SAMA analysis as part of the License Renewal effort [10]. This information is supplemented with revised calculations
[11]for the base case containment intact scenarios which are critical for use in the ILRT extension assessment.
- Accident classes describing radionuclide release end states and their definitions are consistent with the EPRI methodology
[3] and are summarized in Section 4.2." The representative containment leakage for Class 1 sequences is 1La. Class 3 accounts for increased leakage due to Type A inspection failures." The representative containment leakage for Class 3a is 10 La and for Class 3b sequences is 10OLa, based on the recommendations in the latest EPRI report [3] and as recommended in the NRC SE on this topic [7]. It should be noted that this is more conservative than the earlier previous industry ILRT extension requests, which utilized 35La for the Class 3b sequences." Based on the EPRI methodology and the NRC SE, the Class 3b sequences are categorized as LERF and the increase in Class 3b sequences is used as a surrogate for the ALERF metric." The impact on population doses from containment bypass scenarios is not altered by the proposed ILRT extension, but is accounted for in the EPRI methodology as a separate entry for comparison purposes.
Since the containment bypass contribution to population dose is fixed, no changes on the conclusions from this analysis will result from this separate categorization." The reduction in ILRT frequency does not impact the reliability of containment isolation valves to close in response to a containment isolation signal.* The use of the estimated 2035 population data from the MACCS2 off-site consequence runs [10, 11] is appropriate for this analysis.
This assumption is consistent with that made in the SAMA analysis.* An evaluation of the risk impact of the ILRT on shutdown risk is addressed using the generic results from EPRI TR-105189
[12].P0247130002-4722 3-1 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy 4.0 INPUTS This section summarizes the general resources available as input (Section 4.1) and the plant specific resources required (Section 4.2).4.1 GENERAL RESOURCES AVAILABLE Various industry studies on containment leakage risk assessment are briefly summarized here: 1.

[7]The first study is applicable because it provides one basis for the threshold that could be used in the Level 2 PRA for the size of containment leakage that is considered significant and to be included in the model. The second study is applicable because it provides a basis of the probability for significant pre-existing containment leakage at the time of a core damage accident.
The third study is applicable because it is a subsequent study to NUREG/CR-4220 that undertook a more extensive evaluation of the same database.
The fourth study provides an assessment of the impact of different containment leakage rates on plant risk. The fifth study provides an assessment of the impact on shutdown risk from ILRT test interval extension.
The sixth study is the NRC's cost-benefit analysis of various alternative approaches regarding extending the test intervals and increasing the allowable leakage rates for containment integrated and local leak rate tests. The seventh study is an EPRI study of the impact of extending ILRT and LLRT test intervals on at-power public risk. The eighth study addresses the impact of age-related degradation of the containment liners on ILRT evaluations.
EPRI 1018243 complements the previous EPRI report and provides the results of an expert elicitation process to determine the relationship between pre-existing containment leakage probability and magnitude.
Finally, the NRC Safety Evaluation (SE) documents the acceptance by the NRC of the proposed methodology with a few exceptions.
These exceptions (associated with the ILRT Type A tests) were addressed in the Revision 2-A of NEI 94-01 and the final version of the updated EPRI report [3], which was used for this application.
P0247130002-4722 4-1 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy NUREG/CR-3539
[131 Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) documented a study of the impact of containment leak rates on public risk in NUREG/CR-3539.
This study uses information from WASH-1400
[31] as the basis for its risk sensitivity calculations.
ORNL concluded that the impact of leakage rates on LWR accident risks is relatively small.NUREG/CR-4220
[141 NUREG/CR-4220 is a study performed by Pacific Northwest Laboratories for the NRC in 1985.The study reviewed over two thousand LERs, ILRT reports and other related records to calculate the unavailability of containment due to leakage. It assessed the "large" containment leak probability to be in the range of 1E-3 to 1E-2, with 5E-3 identified as the point estimate based on 4 events in 740 reactor years and conservatively assuming a one-year duration for each event.NUREG-1273 r151 A subsequent NRC study, NUREG-1273, performed a more extensive evaluation of the NUREG/CR-4220 database.
This assessment noted that about one-third of the reported events were leakages that were immediately detected and corrected.
In addition, this study noted that local leak rate tests can detect "essentially all potential degradations" of the containment isolation system.NUREG/CR-4330
[161 NUREG/CR-4330 is a study that examined the risk impacts associated with increasing the allowable containment leakage rates. The details of this report have no direct impact on the modeling approach of the ILRT test interval extension, as NUREG/CR-4330 focuses on leakage rate and the ILRT test interval extension study focuses on the frequency of testing intervals.
However, the general conclusions of NUREG/CR-4330 are consistent with NUREG/CR-3539 and other similar containment leakage risk studies: "...the effect of containment leakage on overall accident risk is small since risk is dominated by accident sequences that result in failure or bypass of containment." P0247130002-4722 4-2 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy EPRI TR-105189 r121 The EPRI study TR-105189 is useful to the ILRT test interval extension risk assessment because this EPRI study provides insight regarding the impact of containment testing on shutdown risk. This study performed a quantitative evaluation (using the EPRI ORAM software) for two reference plants (a BWR-4 and a PWR) of the impact of extending ILRT and LLRT test intervals on shutdown risk.The result of the study concluded that a small but measurable safety benefit (shutdown CDF reduced by 1.OE-8/yr to 1.0E-7/yr) is realized from extending the test intervals from 3 per 10 years to 1 per 10 years.NUREG-1493
[6]NUREG-1493 is the NRC's cost-benefit analysis for proposed alternatives to reduce containment leakage testing frequencies and/or relax allowable leakage rates. The NRC conclusions are consistent with other similar containment leakage risk studies: " Reduction in ILRT frequency from 3 per 10 years to 1 per 20 years results in an"imperceptible" increase in risk." Given the insensitivity of risk to the containment leak rate and the small fraction of leak paths detected solely by Type A testing, increasing the interval between integrated leak rate tests is possible with minimal impact on public risk.EPRI TR-104285 r2l Extending the risk assessment impact beyond shutdown (the earlier EPRI TR-105189 study), the EPRI TR-104285 study is a quantitative evaluation of the impact of extending Integrated Leak Rate Test (ILRT) and (Local Leak Rate Test) LLRT test intervals on at-power public risk.This study combined IPE Level 2 models with NUREG-1150
[17] Level 3 population dose models to perform the analysis.
The study also used the approach of NUREG-1493
[6] in calculating the increase in pre-existing leakage probability due to extending the ILRT and LLRT test intervals.
EPRI TR-104285 used a simplified Containment Event Tree to subdivide representative core damage sequences into eight categories of containment response to a core damage accident: 1. Containment intact and isolated 2. Containment isolation failures due to support system or active failures 3. Type A (ILRT) related containment isolation failures 4. Type B (LLRT) related containment isolation failures 5. Type C (LLRT) related containment isolation failures P0247130002-4722 4-3 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy 6. Other penetration related containment isolation failures 7. Containment failure due to core damage accident phenomena 8. Containment bypass Consistent with the other containment leakage risk assessment studies, this study concluded: "These study results show that the proposed CLRT [containment leak rate tests] frequency changes would have a minimal safety impact. The change in risk determined by the analyses is small in both absolute and relative terms..." Release Category Definitions Table 4.1-1 defines the accident classes used in the ILRT extension evaluation, which is consistent with the EPRI methodology
[3]. These containment failure classifications are used in this analysis to determine the risk impact of extending the Containment Type A test interval as described in Section 5 of this report.TABLE 4.1-1 EPRI/NEI CONTAINMENT FAILURE CLASSIFICATIONS CLASS] DESCRIPTION 1 Containment remains intact including accident sequences that do not lead to containment failure in the long term. The release of fission products (and attendant consequences) is determined by the maximum allowable leakage rate values La, under Appendix J for that plant 2 Containment isolation failures (as reported in the IPEs) include those accidents in which there is a failure to isolate the containment.
3 Independent (or random) isolation failures include those accidents in which the pre-existing isolation failure to seal (i.e., provide a leak-tight containment) is not dependent on the sequence in progress.4 Independent (or random) isolation failures include those accidents in which the pre-existing isolation failure to seal is not dependent on the sequence in progress.
This class is similar to Class 3 isolation failures, but is applicable to sequences involving Type B tests and their potential failures.
These are the Type B-tested components that have isolated but exhibit excessive leakage.5 Independent (or random) isolation failures include those accidents in which the pre-existing isolation failure to seal is not dependent on the sequence in progress.
This class is similar to Class 4 isolation failures, but is applicable to sequences involving Type C tests and their potential failures.6 Containment isolation failures include those leak paths covered in the plant test and maintenance requirements or verified per in service inspection and testing (ISI/IST) program.7 Accidents involving containment failure induced by severe accident phenomena.
Changes in Appendix J testing requirements do not impact these accidents.

Changes in Appendix J testing requirements do not impact these accidents.
Calvert Cliffs Liner Corrosion Analysis [51 This submittal to the NRC describes a method for determining the change in likelihood, due to extending the ILRT, of detecting liner corrosion, and the corresponding change in risk. The methodology was developed for Calvert Cliffs in response to a request for additional information regarding how the potential leakage due to age-related degradation mechanisms was factored into the risk assessment for the ILRT one-time extension.
The Calvert Cliffs analysis was performed for a concrete cylinder and dome and a concrete basemat, each with a steel liner. IP2 and IP3 have a similar type of containment.
EPRI 1018243 [31 This report presents a risk impact assessment for extending integrated leak rate test (ILRT)surveillance intervals to 15 years. This risk impact assessment complements the previous EPRI report, TR-104285, Risk Impact Assessment of Revised Containment Leak Rate Testing Intervals.
The earlier report considered changes to local leak rate testing intervals as well as changes to ILRT testing intervals.
The original risk impact assessment considers the change in risk based on population dose, whereas the revision considers dose as well as large early release frequency (LERF) and conditional containment failure probability (CCFP). This report deals with changes to ILRT testing intervals and is intended to provide bases for supporting changes to industry and regulatory guidance on ILRT surveillance intervals.
The risk impact assessment using the Jeffrey's Non-Informative Prior statistical method is further supplemented with a sensitivity case using expert elicitation performed to address conservatisms.
The expert elicitation is used to determine the relationship between pre-existing containment leakage probability and magnitude.
The results of the expert elicitation process from this report are used as a separate sensitivity investigation for the IP2 and IP3 analysis presented here in Section 6.2.P0247130002-4722 4-5 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy NRC Safety Evaluation Report r7]This SE documents the NRC staff's evaluation and acceptance of NEI TR 94-01, Revision 2, and EPRI Report No. 1009325, Revision 2, subject to the limitations and conditions identified in the SE and summarized in Section 4.0 of the SE. These limitations (associated with the ILRT Type A tests) were addressed in the Revision 2-A of NEI 94-01 which are also included in Revision 3-A of NEI 94-01 [1] and the final version of the updated EPRI report [3]. Additionally, the SE clearly defined the acceptance criteria to be used in future Type A ILRT extension risk assessments as delineated previously in the end of Section 1.3.4.2 PLANT-SPECIFIC INPUTS The IP2 and IP3 specific information used to perform this ILRT interval extension risk assessment includes the following:
- Level 1 and Level 2 PRA model quantification results [18, 19]* Population dose within a 50-mile radius for various release categories
[10, 11]IP2 and IP3 Internal Events Core Damage Frequencies The current IP2 and IP3 Internal Events PRA analyses of record are based on an event tree /linked fault tree model characteristic of the as-built, as-operated plant. Based on the results found in Tables J1.6-2 of Reference
[18] and Reference
[19], the internal events Level 1 PRA core damage frequency (CDF) is 1.17E-05/yr for IP2 and 1.48E-05/yr for IP3.IP2 and IP3 Internal Events Release Category Frequencies The Level 2 release category frequencies were developed from the contributions to CDF for those analyzed containment failure modes that were documented in Tables J1.6-2 and Tables J1.7-4 for IP2 and IP3 of Reference
[18] and Reference
[19], respectively.
Table 4.2-1 summarizes the pertinent IP2 and IP3 results in terms of end-states where a representative release category is assigned for each end-state.
The total Large Early Release Frequency (LERF) in Table 4.2-1 is 1.16E-06/yr for IP2 and 1.25E-06/yr for IP3. The individual release category frequencies are utilized here to provide the necessary delineation for the ILRT risk assessment with the corresponding EPRI class for each release category.
A discussion of the available population dose information for various release categories follows this table.P0247130002-4722 4-6 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy TABLE 4.2-1 LEVEL 2 RELEASE CATEGORY FREQUENCIES FOR IP2 AND IP3 RELEASE CATEGORY DESCRIPTION INDIAN POINT 2 INDIAN POINT 3 (FREQUENCY/YR) (FREQUENCY/YR)

Table 4.2-2 shows how the different release categories were organized for the license renewal effort. While that breakdown was appropriate for that submittal, the breakdown in Table 4.2-1 is sufficient for this ILRT extension risk assessment.

Those population dose results are reproduced in Table 4.2-3 converted to the corresponding values in person-rem (i.e., 100 *person-sv) used for this analysis.TABLE 4.2-3 POPULATION DOSE PER LICENSE RENEWAL RELEASE CATEGORY FOR IP2 AND IP3 RELEASE CATEGORY DESCRIPTION INDIAN POINT 2 INDIAN POINT 3 (PERSON-REM) (PERSON-REM)

As a result, additional analyses were required for the ILRT assessment to be consistent with the methodology employed.
Table 4.2-4 shows the results of four different potential case runs to provide a representative 1.0La release [11]. Note that for the containment intact case, given the similarities between IP2 and IP3, the results are assumed to be applicable to both units. These case results are representative of the 1.OLa release as required by the ILRT methodology.

First, it was noted that containment sprays were not failed in more than 99% of the intact containment cases for both IP2 and IP3, but their use could only be definitively declared in Medium and Large LOCA scenarios or when vessel breach occurs (i.e., other cases with fan coolers available and no vessel breach are unlikely to reach the automatic containment spray initiation set point of 24 psig for IP2 and 22 psig for IP3). For IP2 about 6 8% of the intact containment cases also involved no vessel breach, and for IP3 about 63% of the intact containment cases involved no vessel breach. For IP2 and IP3, the medium and large LOCA contribution to the intact containment case was about 10%. Therefore, it was conservatively assumed that just 10% of the intact containment cases could be represented by a case with containment sprays available (i.e., intact scenario #2 from Table 4.2-4). Of the remaining 90%, based on the P0247130002-4722 4-9 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy contribution from no vessel breach scenarios noted above, it was assumed that about 60% of the cases involved scenarios with no vessel failure and about 3 0% involved scenarios where vessel failure occurred for both IP2 and IP3. Intact scenario #4 from Table 4.2-4 is then used as a representative case for the no vessel failure scenarios, and intact scenario #1 is then conservatively used as a representative case for the remaining vessel failure scenarios.
Although sprays are likely available in those scenarios, the SAMG procedures may limit their use based on hydrogen detonation concerns.
This leads to an overall weighted average population dose for the intact containment case as shown in Table 4.2-5. This weighted average population dose of 4.41E+04 person-rem is used in the remainder of the calculations using the ILRT methodology.

Table 4.2-6a lists the population dose risk and average population dose organized by EPRI release category for IP2, including the delineation of early and late frequencies for Class 7, and a delineation of SGTR and ISLOCA frequencies for Class 8. Note that the population dose risk (Column 4 of Table 4.2-6a) was found by multiplying the release category frequency (Column 2 of Table P0247130002-4722 4-10 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy 4.2-6a) by the associated population dose (Column 3 of Table 4.2-6a). The corresponding information for IP3 is shown in Table 4.2-6b. Note that only the applicable EPRI release categories at this point are shown in the tables (i.e., the Class 3 frequencies are derived later and the Class 4, 5, and 6 frequencies are not utilized in the EPRI methodology for the ILRT extension risk assessment).

The frequencies for the severe accident classes defined in Table 4.1-1 are developed for IP2 and IP3 based on the assignments shown above in Tables 4.2-6a and 4.2-6b. Then, the frequencies for Classes 3a and 3b can be determined with that portion removed from Class 1.This step in the process is described in Section 4.3. Furthermore, adjustments are made to the Class 3b as well as Class 1 frequencies to account for the impact of undetected corrosion of the steel liner per the methodology described in Section 4.4.P0247130002-4722 4-12 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy 4.3 IMPACT OF EXTENSION ON DETECTION OF COMPONENT FAILURES THAT LEAD TO LEAKAGE (SMALL AND LARGE)The ILRT can detect a number of component failures such as liner breach and failure of some sealing surfaces, which can lead to leakage. The proposed ILRT test interval extension may influence the conditional probability of detecting these types of failures.
To ensure that this effect is properly accounted for, the EPRI Class 3 accident class as defined in Table 4.1-1 is divided into two sub-classes representing small and large leakage failures.
These subclasses are defined as Class 3a and Class 3b, respectively.
The probability of the EPRI Class 3a failures may be determined, consistent with the latest EPRI guidance [3], as the mean failure estimated from the available data (i.e., 2 "small" failures that could only have been discovered by the ILRT in 217 tests leads to a 2/217=0.0092 mean value). For Class 3b, consistent with latest available EPRI data, a non-informative prior distribution is assumed for no "large" failures in 217 tests (i.e., 0.5/(217+1)
= 0.0023).The EPRI methodology contains information concerning the potential that the calculated delta LERF values for several plants may fall above the "very small change" guidelines of the NRC regulatory guide 1.174. This information includes a discussion of conservatisms in the quantitative guidance for delta LERF. EPRI describes ways to demonstrate that, using plant-specific calculations, the delta LERF is smaller than that calculated by the simplified method.The methodology states: "The methodology employed for determining LERF (Class 3b frequency) involves conservatively multiplying the CDF by the failure probability for this class (3b) of accident.
This was done for simplicity and to maintain conservatism.
However, some plant-specific accident classes leading to core damage are likely to include individual sequences that either may already (independently) cause a LERF or could never cause a LERF, and are thus not associated with a postulated large Type A containment leakage path (LERF). These contributors can be removed from Class 3b in the evaluation of LERF by multiplying the Class 3b probability by only that portion of CDF that may be impacted by type A leakage." The application of this additional guidance to the analysis for IP2 and IP3 (as detailed in Section 5) means that the Class 2, Class 7, and Class 8 LERF sequences are subtracted from the CDF that is applied to Class 3b. To be consistent, the same change is made to the Class 3a CDF, even though these events are not considered LERF. Note that Class 2 events refer to sequences with a large pre-existing containment isolation failure that lead to LERF, a subset of Class 7 events are LERF sequences due to an early containment failure from energetic phenomena, and Class 8 event are containment bypass events that contribute to LERF.P0247130002-4722 4-13 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy Consistent with the EPRI methodology
[3], the change in the leak detection probability can be estimated by comparing the average time that a leak could exist without detection.
For example, the average time that a leak could go undetected with a three-year test interval is 1.5 years (3 yr / 2), and the average time that a leak could exist without detection for a ten-year interval is 5 years (10 yr / 2). This change would lead to a non-detection probability that is a factor of 3.33 (5.0/1.5) higher for the probability of a leak that is detectable only by ILRT testing, given a 10-year vs. a 3-yr interval.
Correspondingly, an extension of the ILRT interval to fifteen years can be estimated to lead to about a factor of 5.0 (7.5/1.5) increase in the non-detection probability of a leak.IP2 and IP3 Past ILRT Results The surveillance frequency for Type A testing in NEI 94-01 under option B criteria is at least once per ten years based on an acceptable performance history (i.e., two consecutive periodic Type A tests at least 24 months apart) where the calculated performance leakage rate was less than 1.OLa, and in compliance with the performance factors in NEI 94-01, Section 11.3. Based on the successful completion of two consecutive ILRTs at IP2 and IP3, the current ILRT interval is once per ten years. Note that the probability of a pre-existing leakage due to extending the ILRT interval is based on the industry-wide historical results as noted in the EPRI guidance document [3].EPRI Methodoloqy This analysis uses the approach outlined in the EPRI Methodology
[3]. The six steps of the methodology are: 1. Quantify the baseline (three-year ILRT frequency) risk in terms of frequency per reactor year for the EPRI accident classes of interest.2. Develop the baseline population dose (person-rem, from the plant PRA or IPE, or calculated based on leakage) for the applicable accident classes.3. Evaluate the risk impact (in terms of population dose rate and percentile change in population dose rate) for the interval extension cases.4. Determine the risk impact in terms of the change in LERF and the change in CCFP.5. Consider both internal and external events.6. Evaluate the sensitivity of the results to assumptions in the liner corrosion analysis.The first three steps of the methodology deal with calculating the change in dose. The change in dose is the principal basis upon which the Type A ILRT interval extension was previously granted and is a reasonable basis for evaluating additional extensions.
The fourth step in the P0247130002-4722 4-14 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy methodology calculates the change in LERF and compares it to the guidelines in Regulatory Guide 1.174. Because there is no change in CDF for IP2 and IP3, the change in LERF forms the quantitative basis for a risk informed decision per current NRC practice, namely Regulatory Guide 1.174. The fourth step of the methodology calculates the change in containment failure probability, referred to as the conditional containment failure probability, CCFP. The NRC has identified a CCFP of less than 1.5% as the acceptance criteria for extending the Type A ILRT test intervals as the basis for showing that the proposed change is consistent with the defense in depth philosophy
[7]. As such, this step suffices as the remaining basis for a risk informed decision per Regulatory Guide 1.174. Step 5 takes into consideration the additional risk due to external events, and Step 6 investigates the impact on results due to varying the assumptions associated with the liner corrosion rate and failure to visually identify pre-existing flaws.4.4 IMPACT OF EXTENSION ON DETECTION OF STEEL LINER CORROSION THAT LEADS TO LEAKAGE An estimate of the likelihood and risk implications of corrosion-induced leakage of the steel liners occurring and going undetected during the extended test interval is evaluated using the methodology from the Calvert Cliffs liner corrosion analysis [5]. The Calvert Cliffs analysis was performed for a concrete cylinder and dome and a concrete basemat, each with a steel liner.IP2 and IP3 have similar containment types.The following approach is used to determine the change in likelihood, due to extending the ILRT, of detecting corrosion of the containment steel liner. This likelihood is then used to determine the resulting change in risk. Consistent with the Calvert Cliffs analysis, the following issues are addressed:
- Differences between the containment basemat and the containment cylinder and dome" The historical steel liner flaw likelihood due to concealed corrosion* The impact of aging" The corrosion leakage dependency on containment pressure" The likelihood that visual inspections will be effective at detecting a flaw P0247130002-4722 4-15 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy Assumptions" A half failure is assumed for the basemat concealed liner corrosion due to lack of identified failures.* The two corrosion events over a 5.5 year data period are used to estimate the liner flaw probability in the Calvert Cliffs analysis and are assumed to be applicable to the IP2 and IP3 containment analysis.
These events, one at North Anna Unit 2 and one at Brunswick Unit 2, were initiated from the non-visible (backside) portion of the containment liner. It is noted that two additional events have occurred in recent years (based on a data search covering approximately 9 years documented in Reference
[21]). In November 2006, the Turkey Point 4 containment building liner developed a hole when a sump pump support plate was moved. In May 2009, a hole approximately 3/8" by 1" in size was identified in the Beaver Valley 1 containment liner. For risk evaluation purposes, these two more recent events occurring over a 9 year period are judged to be adequately represented by the two events in the 5.5 year period of the Calvert Cliffs analysis incorporated in the EPRI guidance (See Table 4.4-1, Step 1)." Consistent with the Calvert Cliffs analysis, the steel liner flaw likelihood is assumed to double every five years. This is based solely on judgment and is included in this analysis to address the increased likelihood of corrosion as the steel liner ages (See Table 4.4-1, Steps 2 and 3). Sensitivity studies are included that address doubling this rate every two years and every ten years.* In the Calvert Cliffs analysis, the likelihood of the containment atmosphere reaching the outside atmosphere given that a liner flaw exists was estimated as 1.11% for the cylinder and dome region, and 0.11% (10% of the cylinder failure probability) for the basemat. These values were determined from an assessment of the probability of containment failure versus containment pressure, and the selected values are consistent with a pressure that corresponds to the ILRT target pressure of 37 psig.For IP2 and IP3, the containment failure probabilities are less than these values at 47 psig, which is the containment design pressure [18, 19]. The probabilities of 1%for the cylinder and dome, and 0.1% for the basemat, albeit conservative, are used in this analysis.
Sensitivity studies are included that increase and decrease the probabilities by an order of magnitude (See Table 4.4-1, Step 4).* Consistent with the Calvert Cliffs analysis, a 5% visual inspection detection failure likelihood given the flaw is visible and a total detection failure likelihood of 10% is used for the containment cylinder and dome. For the containment basemat, 100% is assumed unavailable for visual inspection.
To date, all liner corrosion events have been detected through visual inspection (See Table 4.4-1, Step 5). Sensitivity studies are included that evaluate total detection failure likelihood of 5% and 15%, respectively.
- Consistent with the Calvert Cliffs analysis, all non-detectable containment failures are assumed to result in early releases.
This approach avoids a detailed analysis of containment failure timing and operator recovery actions.P0247130002-4722 4-16 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy TABLE 4.4-1 STEEL LINER CORROSION BASE CASE STEP DESCRIPTION CONTAINMENT CONTAINMENT CYLINDER AND DOME BASEMAT Historical Steel Liner Events: 2 Events: 0 (assume half a Flaw Likelihood failure)Failure Data: Containment 2/(70

Specifically, the categorization of the severe accidents contributing to risk was considered in the following manner: " Core damage sequences in which the containment remains intact initially and in the long term (EPRI Class 1 sequences).
- Core damage sequences in which containment integrity is impaired due to random isolation failures of plant components other than those associated with Type B or Type C test components.
For example, liner breach or bellows leakage, if applicable.(EPRI Class 3 sequences)." Core damage sequences in which containment integrity is impaired due to containment isolation failures of pathways left "opened" following a plant post-maintenance test. (For example, a valve failing to close following a valve stroke test. (EPRI Class 6 sequences).
Consistent with the EPRI Guidance, this class is not specifically examined since it will not significantly influence the results of this analysis.P0247130002-4722 5-1 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Accident sequences involving containment bypass (EPRI Class 8 sequences), large containment isolation failures (EPRI Class 2 sequences), and small containment isolation "failure-to-seal" events (EPRI Class 4 and 5 sequences) are accounted for in this evaluation as part of the baseline risk profile. However, they are not affected by the ILRT frequency change.Class 4 and 5 sequences are impacted by changes in Type B and C test intervals; therefore, changes in the Type A test interval do not impact these sequences.
The steps taken to perform this risk assessment evaluation are as follows: Step 1 Quantify the base-line risk in terms of frequency per reactor year for each of the accident classes presented in Table 5.0-1.Step 2 Develop plant-specific person-rem dose (population dose) per reactor year for each of the accident classes.Step 3 Evaluate risk impact of extending Type A test interval from 3 to 15 and 10 to 15 years.Step 4 Determine the change in risk in terms of Large Early Release Frequency (LERF)in accordance with RG 1.174.Step 5 Determine the impact on the Conditional Containment Failure Probability (CCFP).5.1 STEP 1 -QUANTIFY THE BASE-LINE RISK IN TERMS OF FREQUENCY PER REACTOR YEAR This step involves the review of the IP2 and IP3 Level 2 release category frequency results [18, 19]. As described in Section 4.2, the release categories were assigned to the EPRI classes as shown in Table 4.2-6a for IP2 and in Table 4.2-6b for IP3. This application combined with the IP2 and IP3 dose risk (person-rem/yr) also shown in Tables 4.2-6a and 4.2-6b, respectively forms the basis for estimating the increase in population dose risk.For the assessment of the impact on the risk profile due to the ILRT extension, the potential for pre-existing leaks is included in the model. These pre-existing leak events are represented by the Class 3 sequences in EPRI 1018243 [3]. Two failure modes were considered for the Class 3 sequences, namely Class 3a (small breach) and Class 3b (large breach).The determination of the frequencies associated with each of the EPRI categories listed in Table 5.0-1 is presented next.P0247130002-4722 5-2 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Class 1 Sequences This group represents the frequency when the containment remains intact (modeled as Technical Specification Leakage).
The frequency per year for these sequences is 7.74E-06/yr for IP2 and 1.11E-05/yr for IP3 (refer to Table 5.1-1 for Containment Release Type 1) and is determined by subtracting all containment failure end states including the EPRI/NEI Class 3a and 3b frequency calculated below, from the total CDF. For this analysis, the associated maximum containment leakage for this group is iLa, consistent with an intact containment evaluation.
Note that the values for this Class reported in Table 5.1-1 are slightly lower than that reported in Tables 4.2-6a and 4.2-6b since the 3a and 3b frequencies are now subtracted from Class 1.Class 2 Sequences This group consists of large containment isolation failures.
For IP2, this frequency is 1.11E-08/yr (refer to Table 5.1-1, Containment Release Type 2). For IP3, this frequency is 3.99E-09/yr (refer to Table 5.1-1, Containment Release Type 2).Class 3 Sequences This group represents pre-existing leakage in the containment structure (e.g., containment liner). The containment leakage for these sequences can be either small (2La to 10OLa) or large (>1OOLa).
In this analysis, a value of 1OLa was used for small pre-existing flaws and 10OLa for relatively large flaws.The respective frequencies per year are determined as follows: PROBciass_3a

[3] and the NRC SE [7].Class 4 Sequences This group represents containment isolation failure-to-seal of Type B test components.
Because these failures are detected by Type B tests which are unaffected by the Type A ILRT, this group is not evaluated any further in this analysis.Class 5 Sequences This group represents containment isolation failure-to-seal of Type C test components.
Because these failures are detected by Type C tests which are unaffected by the Type A ILRT, this group is not evaluated any further in this analysis.Class 6 Sequences This group is similar to Class 2. These are sequences that involve core damage with a failure-to-seal containment leakage due to failure to isolate the containment.
These sequences are dominated by misalignment of containment isolation valves following a test/maintenance evolution.
Consistent with the EPRI guidance, this accident class is not explicitly considered since it has a negligible impact on the results.P0247130002-4722 5-4 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Class 7 Sequences This group represents containment failure induced by early and late severe accident phenomena.
From Table 4.2-6a for IP2, the frequency for early Class 7 sequences is 4.66E-09/yr
+ 6.90E-08/yr
= 7.37E-08/yr, and the frequency for the late Class 7 sequences is 2.71E-06/yr.
From Table 4.2-6b for IP3, the frequency for early Class 7 sequences is 1.17E-07/yr
+ 7.14E-08/yr
= 1.88E-07/yr, and the frequency for the late Class 7 sequences is 2.17E-06/yr.
Class 8 Seauences This group represents sequences where containment bypass occurs (SGTR or ISLOCA). From the frequency information provided in Table 4.2-6a for IP2, the total SGTR contribution to core damage is 1.05E-06/yr and the ISLOCA contribution to core damage is 2.77E-08/yr.
From the frequency information provided in Table 4.2-6b for IP3, the total SGTR contribution to core damage is 9.77E-07/yr and the ISLOCA contribution to core damage is 1.93E-07/yr.
Summary of Accident Class Frequencies In summary, the accident sequence frequencies that can lead to release of radionuclides to the public have been derived in a manner consistent with the definition of accident classes defined in EPRI 1018243 [3] and are shown in Table 5.1-1 for IP2 and for IP3.P0247130002-4722 5-5 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals TABLE 5.1-1 RADIONUCLIDE RELEASE FREQUENCIES AS A FUNCTION OF ACCIDENT CLASS (IP2 AND IP3 BASE CASE)ACCIDENT DESCRIPTION IP2 IP3 CLASS FREQUENCY FREQUENCY (CONTAINMENT (1/YR) (1/YR)RELEASE TYPE)1 Containment Intact 7.74E-06 1.11E-05 2 Large Isolation Failures (Failure to Close) 1.11E-08 3.99E-09 3a Small Isolation Failures (liner breach) 9.73E-08 1.25E-07 3b Large Isolation Failures (liner breach) 2.43E-08 3.13E-08 4 Small Isolation Failures (Failure to seal -N/A N/A Type B)5 Small Isolation Failures (Failure to seal- N/A N/A Type C)6 Other Isolation Failures (e.g., dependent N/A N/A failures)7-CFE Failures Induced by Phenomena (Early) 7.37E-08 1.88E-07 7-CFL Failures Induced by Phenomena (Late) 2.71E-06 2.17E-06 8-SGTR Containment Bypass (Steam Generator 1.05E-06 9.77E-07 Tube Rupture)8-ISLOCA Containment Bypass (Interfacing System 2.77E-08 1.93E-07 LOCA)CDF All CET End States (Including Intact 1.17E-05 1.48E-05 Case)5.2 STEP 2 -REACTOR YEAR DEVELOP PLANT-SPECIFIC PERSON-REM DOSE (POPULATION DOSE) PER Plant-specific release analyses were performed to estimate the weighted average person-rem doses to the population within a 50-mile radius from the plant.

[10], additional population dose runs for the intact containment scenarios
[11], and the Level 2 containment failure release frequencies
[18, 19] (see Tables 4.2-6a and 4.2-6b of this analysis).
The results of applying these releases to the EPRI containment failure classifications are P0247130002-4722 5-6 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals summarized below. Note that the 7-CFE release category is further refined to be the weighted average of the two contributors for moving forward in the ILRT methodology since it is not impacted by the change to the ILRT interval.For IP2: Class 1 Class 2 Class 3a Class 3b Class 4 Class 5 Class 6 Class 7-CFE Class 7-CFL Class 8-SGTR= 4.41E+04 person-rem (at 1.OLa)= 6.51E+07 person-rem

To do this, an evaluation must first be made of the risk associated with the ten-year interval since the base case applies to a 3-year interval (i.e., a simplified representation of a 3-in- 10 year interval).
Risk Impact Due to 10-year Test Interval As previously stated, Type A tests impact only Class 3 sequences.
For Class 3 sequences, the release magnitude is not impacted by the change in test interval (a small or large breach remains the same, even though the probability of not detecting the breach increases).
Thus, only the frequency of Class 3a and 3b sequences is impacted.
The risk contribution is changed based on the EPRI guidance as described in Section 4.3 by a factor of 3.33 compared to the base case values. The results of the calculation for a 10-year interval are presented in Table 5.3-1a for IP2 and in Table 5.3-1b for IP3.Risk Imoact Due to 15-Year Test Interval The risk contribution for a 15-year interval is calculated in a manner similar to the 10-year interval.
The difference is in the increase in probability of not detecting a leak in Classes 3a and 3b. For this case, the value used in the analysis is a factor of 5.0 compared to the 3-year interval value, as described in Section 4.3. The results for this calculation are presented in Table 5.3-2a for IP2 and in Table 5.3-2b for IP3.P0247130002-4722 5-13 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals TABLE 5.3-1A IP2 ANNUAL DOSE AS A FUNCTION OF ACCIDENT CLASS;CHARACTERISTIC OF CONDITIONS FOR 1 IN 10 YEAR ILRT FREQUENCY ACCIDENT DESCRIPTION PERSON- EPRI METHODOLOGY EPRI METHODOLOGY CHANGE DUE TO CLASSES REM PLUS CORROSION CORROSION (CONTAINMENT (0-50 FREQUENCY PERSON- FREQUENCY PERSON- (PERSON-RELEASE TYPE) MILES) (1/YR) REM/YR (1/YR) REM/YR REM/YR) (1)(0-50 (0-50 MILES) MILES)1 Containment 4.41E+04 7.46E-06 3.29E-01 7.45E-06 3.29E-01 -2.38E-05 Intact (2)2 Large Isolation 6.51E+07 1.11E-08 7.23E-01 1.11E-08 7.23E-01 --Failures (Failure to Close)3a Small Isolation 4.41E+05 3.24E-07 1.43E-01 3.24E-07 1.43E-01 --Failures (liner breach)3b Large Isolation 4.41E+06 8.1OE-08 3.57E-01 8.15E-08 3.60E-01 2.38E-3 Failures (liner breach)4 Small Isolation N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A Failures (Failure to seal -Type B)5 Small Isolation N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A Failures (Failure to seal-Type C)6 Other Isolation N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A Failures (e.g., dependent failures)P0247130002-4722 5-14 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals TABLE 5.3-1A IP2 ANNUAL DOSE AS A FUNCTION OF ACCIDENT CLASS;CHARACTERISTIC OF CONDITIONS FOR 1 IN 10 YEAR ILRT FREQUENCY ACCIDENT DESCRIPTION PERSON- EPRI METHODOLOGY EPRI METHODOLOGY CHANGE DUE TO CLASSES REM PLUS CORROSION CORROSION (CONTAINMENT (0-50 FREQUENCY PERSON FREQUENCY PERSON (PERSON-RELEASE TYPE) MILES) (1/YR) REM/YR (1/YR) REM/YR REM/YR)(1)

During the 15-year interval, the failure rate is assumed to double every five years. The additional frequency added to Class 3b is subtracted from Class 1 and the population dose rates are recalculated.
This results in a small reduction to the Class 1 dose rate and an increase to the Class 3b dose rate.(2) Characterized as 1La release magnitude consistent with the derivation of the ILRT non-detection failure probability for ILRTs. Release classes 3a and 3b include failures of containment to meet the Technical Specification leak rate.P0247130002-4722 5-21 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals 5.4 STEP 4 -DETERMINE THE CHANGE IN RISK IN TERMS OF LARGE EARLY RELEASE FREQUENCY Regulatory Guide 1.174 provides guidance for determining the risk impact of plant-specific changes to the licensing basis. RG 1.174 defines very small changes in risk as resulting in increases of core damage frequency (CDF) below 1E-06/yr and increases in LERF below 1E-07/yr, and small changes in LERF as below 1E-06/yr.
Because the ILRT does not impact CDF for IP2 and IP3, the relevant metric is LERF.For IP2 and IP3, 100% of the frequency of Class 3b sequences can be used as a conservative first-order estimate to approximate the potential increase in LERF from the ILRT interval extension (consistent with the EPRI guidance methodology and the NRC SE). Based on the original 3-in-10 year test interval assessment from Tables 5.2-2a and 5.2-2b, the Class 3b frequency is 2.44E-08/yr for IP2 and 3.14E-08/yr for IP3, which includes the corrosion effect of the containment liner. Based on a ten-year test interval from Tables 5.3-1a and 5.3-1b, the Class 3b frequency is 8.15E-08/yr for IP2 and 1.05E-07/yr for IP3; and, based on a fifteen-year test interval from Tables 5.3-2a and 5.3-2b, it is 1.23E-07/yr for IP2 and 1.58E-07/yr for IP3. Thus, the increase in the overall probability of LERF due to Class 3b sequences that is due to increasing the ILRT test interval from 3 to 15 years (including corrosion effects) is 9.84E-08/yr for IP2 and 1.26E-07/yr for IP3. Similarly, the increase in LERF due to increasing the interval from 10 to 15 years (including corrosion effects) is 4.13E-08/yr for IP2 and 5.31E-08/yr for IP3. As can be seen, even with the conservatisms included in the evaluation (per the EPRI methodology), the estimated change in LERF is well within Region II of Figure 4 of Reference
[4] (i.e., the acceptance criteria for small changes in LERF) when comparing the 15 year results to the original 3-in-10 year requirement.
5.5 STEP 5 -DETERMINE THE IMPACT ON THE CONDITIONAL CONTAINMENT FAILURE PROBABILITY Another parameter that can provide input into the decision-making process is the change in the conditional containment failure probability (CCFP). The change in CCFP is indicative of the effect of the ILRT on all radionuclide releases, not just LERF. The CCFP can be calculated from the results of this analysis.
One of the difficult aspects of this calculation is providing a definition of the "failed containment." In this assessment, the CCFP is defined such that containment failure includes all radionuclide release end states other than the intact state and, consistent with the EPRI guidance, the small isolation failures (Class 3a). The conditional part of the definition is conditional given a severe accident (i.e., core damage).P0247130002-4722 5-22 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals The change in CCFP can be calculated by using the method specified in the EPRI methodology
[3]. The NRC SE has noted a change in CCFP of <1.5% as the acceptance criterion to be used as the basis for showing that the proposed change is consistent with the defense-in-depth philosophy.
Table 5.5-1 shows the CCFP values that result from the assessment for the various testing intervals including corrosion effects in which the flaw rate is assumed to double every five years.TABLE 5.5-1 IP2 AND IP3 ILRT CONDITIONAL CONTAINMENT FAILURE PROBABILITIES UNIT CCFP CCFP CCFP 3 IN 10 1 IN 10 1 IN 15 ACCFP 1 5-3 ACCFP 1 5-1 0 YRS YRS YRS Indian Point 2 33.19% 33.67% 34.03% 0.84% 0.35%Indian Point 3 2 4.0 3% 2 4.5 2% 24.88% 0.85% 0.36%CCFP = [1 -(Class 1 frequency
+ Class 3a frequency)/CDF]
x 100%The change in CCFP of less than 1% as a result of extending the test interval to 15 years from the original 3-in-10 year requirement is judged to be relatively insignificant, and is less than the NRC SE acceptance criteria of <. 1.5%.5.6

Similar to that provided in the SAMA analysis, a description of the external events contribution to risk at IP2 and IP3 is provided below.5.7.1 Indian Point 2 External Events Discussion The IP2 Individual Plant Examination of External Events (IPEEE) included quantitative CDF results for high winds, seismic, and fire contributors.
Each of these is discussed below.A high wind analysis was performed for the IP2 IPEEE. Conservative assumptions in the high wind PRA analysis included the following.
- Offsite power was assumed to be lost for all high wind events." Building frame failures were assumed to cause failure of all equipment within the building.* Missile (high wind projectile) impact on a structure was assumed to cause failure of all equipment within that structure.
- Likelihood of missile (high wind projectile) strikes was assumed to be independent of the intensity of the hazard.* Both onsite and offsite alternate power sources (gas turbines) were assumed to fail given failure of a more robust structure.
P0247130002-4722 5-26 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals The core damage frequency contribution associated with high wind events was estimated to be 3.03E-05/yr.
As described above, this is a conservative value. In addition, plant changes, improved equipment performance data, and modeling improvements since the issuance of the IP2 IPEEE have demonstrated that the response of plant systems as modeled at that time was conservative.
This can be seen from the reduction in internal events CDF from 2.85E-05/yr at the time the IPEEE was developed to the present value of 1.17E-05/yr.
Although conservative, consistent with the SAMA analysis, the wind risk contribution of 3.03E-05/yr is maintained to determine the potential external events impact in the ILRT extension assessment.
A seismic PRA analysis was performed for the seismic portion of the IP2 IPEEE. The seismic PRA analysis was a conservative analysis.
Therefore, its results should not be compared directly with the best-estimate internal events results. Conservative assumptions in the seismic PRA analysis included the following.
- Sequences in the seismic PRA involving loss of off-site power were assumed to be unrecoverable.
If off-site power was recovered following a seismic event, there would be many more systems available to maintain core cooling and containment integrity than were credited for those sequences.
- A single, conservative, surrogate element whose failure leads directly to core damage was used in the seismic risk quantification to model the most seismically rugged components.
- Seismic-induced ATWS was considered in the analysis, but no credit was included for manual scram or mitigation of ATWS using the boration system. This conservatively resulted in most seismic-induced ATWS events leading to consequential core damage.* Redundant components were conservatively assumed to be completely correlated by treating them as if they were one component for the purpose of determining the probability of seismic induced failures." Several systems were assumed to be unavailable during a seismic event, including:
- a. the city water system, which can be used to supply backup cooling to the charging pumps if CCW is lost, as an alternate source of suction to the AFW pumps and to provide alternate cooling to the RHR and SI pumps;b. the primary water system, which can also be used as a backup to CCW to supply cooling to the RHR and SI pumps; and c. the onsite and offsite gas turbine generators, which can provide alternate station power.* No credit was taken for recovery of power through the alternate safe shutdown system (ASSS).The seismic CDF in the IPEEE was originally estimated to be 1.46E-05/yr.
As a result of an IPEEE recommendation, the CCW surge tank hold-down bolts were upgraded, reducing the seismic CDF to 1.06E-05/yr.
Although it remains conservative, consistent with the SAMA P0247130002-4722 5-27 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals analysis, the seismic risk contribution of 1.06E-05/yr is maintained to determine the potential external events impact in the ILRT extension assessment.
The conservative EPRI FIVE methodology was used for initial screening of fire zones in the IP2 IPEEE fire analysis.
Unscreened fire zones were then analyzed in more detail using a fire PRA approach.
The sum of the resulting fire zone CDF values is approximately 1.84E-05/yr.
Conservative assumptions in the IP2 IPEEE fire analysis include the following." The frequency and severity of fires were generally conservatively overestimated in the generic IPEEE fire analysis methods. A revised NRC fire events database indicates a trend toward lower frequency and less severe fires. This trend reflects improved housekeeping, reduction in transient fire hazards, and other improved fire protection steps at utilities.
- Cable failure due to fire damage was assumed to arise from open circuits, hot short circuits, and short circuits to ground. In damaging a cable, the analysis addressed the ability of the fire to induce the conductor failure mode of concern. Hot shorts were conservatively assigned a probability of 0.1, which was applied to all single phase, AC control circuit or DC power and control circuit cases regardless of whether the wires were in the same multi-conductor." A plant trip was assumed for all fires, including those for which immediate operator actions are not specified in emergency response procedures." PORV block valves were assumed to be in the more limiting position (open or closed)to maximize the impact of the fire.* The main feedwater and condensate systems were assumed to be unavailable in all scenarios, even when their power source was not impacted by the fire scenario.
Use of these systems for recovery, following a failure of AFW, is addressed in current plant procedures.
- All sequences involving induced RCP seal LOCAs were assumed to lead to complete seal failure. Although casualty cables exist for powering ECCS pumps from the ASSS power source, the ASSS was assumed to be ineffective in mitigating induced LOCAs.* The currently accepted RCP seal LOCA methodology is more detailed and provides sequences with varying leakage rates. Under that current methodology, a majority of seal LOCAs remain within the capability of a charging pump (which has hardwired ASSS transfer capability) to provide makeup.As noted previously, plant changes, improved equipment performance data and modeling improvements since the issuance of the IP2 IPEEE have demonstrated that the response of plant systems as modeled at that time was conservative.
This can be seen from the reduction in internal events CDF from 2.85E-05/yr at the time the IPEEE was developed to the present value of 1.17E-5/yr., a reduction factor of 2.4. Factoring in the additional conservatisms in the fire analysis noted above, an overall reduction factor of 2 is reasonable which is consistent with the assumption used in the SAMA analysis [20]. The IPEEE fire CDF value, reduced by a factor of two, is 9.20E-06/yr.
P0247130002-4722 5-28 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals The IP2 Individual Plant Examination of External Events (IPEEE) concluded for "Other" external events, with the exception of "high wind" events as noted above, that no undue risks are present that might contribute to CDF with a predicted frequency in excess of 1.OE-06/yr.
As these events are not dominant contributors to external event risk and quantitative analysis of these events is not practical, they are considered negligible in estimation of the external events impact on the ILRT extension assessment.
In summary, the combination of the IPEEE high wind CDF and the reduced seismic and fire CDF values described above results in an external events risk estimate of 5.01E-05/yr, which is 4.3 times higher than the internal events CDF (1.17E-05/yr).
5.7.2 Indian Point 3 External Events Discussion The IP3 Individual Plant Examination of External Events (IPEEE) concluded for high winds, floods, and "Other" external events that no undue risks are present that might contribute to CDF with a predicted frequency in excess of 1.OE-06/yr.
Note that at IP3 (compared to IP2), the EDGs are in separate concrete bunkered cells and as such are not susceptible to high winds. In any event, as these other events are not dominant contributors to external event risk and quantitative analysis of these events is not practical, they are considered negligible in estimation of the external events impact on the ILRT extension assessment.
The IPEEE analyses using the seismic PRA and fire PRA provided quantitative, but conservative, results.Therefore, the results were combined as described below to represent the total external events risk.A seismic PRA analysis was performed for the seismic portion of the IP3 IPEEE. The seismic PRA analysis is a conservative analysis.
Therefore, its results should not be compared directly with the best-estimate internal events results. Conservative assumptions in the seismic PRA analysis included the following." Each of the sequences in the seismic PRA assumes unrecoverable loss of off-site power. If off-site power was maintained, or recovered, following a seismic event, there would be many more systems available to maintain core cooling and containment integrity than were credited in the analysis.* Seismic events were assumed to induce a small loss of coolant accident (LOCA) in addition to a loss of offsite power." A single, conservative, surrogate element whose failure leads directly to core damage was used in the seismic risk quantification to model the most seismically rugged components." Redundant components were conservatively assumed to be completely correlated by treating them as if they were one component for the purpose of determining the probability of seismic induced failures.P0247130002-4722 5-29 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals* The ATWS event tree was conservatively simplified so that all conditions which lead to a failure to trip result in core damage, without the benefit of emergency boration or other mitigating systems." Because there is little industry experience with crew actions following seismic events, human actions were conservatively characterized.
The seismic CDF in the IPEEE was conservatively estimated to be 4.40E-05/yr.
As described above, this is a conservative value. The seismic PRA CDF has been re-evaluated to reflect updated random component failure probabilities and to model recovery of onsite power and local operation of the turbine-driven AFW pump. The updated seismic CDF is 2.65E-05/yr.
Although it remains conservative, consistent with the SAMA analysis, the seismic risk contribution of 2.65E-05/yr is maintained to determine the external events impact on the ILRT extension assessment.
The EPRI Fire PRA Implementation Guide was followed for the IP3 IPEEE fire analysis.
The EPRI Fire Induced Vulnerability Evaluation (FIVE) method was used for the initial screening, for treatment of transient combustibles, and as the source of fire frequency data. The sum of the resulting fire zone CDF values is approximately 5.58E-05/yr.
Conservatisms in the IP3 IPEEE fire analysis include the following.
- The frequency and severity of fires were generally conservatively overestimated.
A revised NRC fire events database indicates a trend toward lower frequency and less severe fires. This trend reflects improved housekeeping, reduction in transient fire hazards, and other improved fire protection steps at utilities." There is little industry experience with crew actions following fires. This led to conservative characterization of crew actions in the IPEEE fire analysis.
Because CDF is strongly correlated with crew actions, this conservatism has a profound effect on fire results.* Hot gas layer temperature timing calculations were based on simplified analyses (versus more detailed calculations such as GOTHIC or even COMPBURN) which are believed to result in more severe timing (i.e., shorter time to equipment failure).* Heat and combustion products from a fire within a zone were assumed to be confined within the zone. Heat loss through separating zones was not considered; nor was heat loss through open equipment hatches, ladder ways, open doorways, or unsealed penetrations." Cable failure due to fire damage was assumed to arise from open circuits, hot shorts circuits, and short circuits to ground. In damaging a cable, the fire was always assumed to induce the conductor failure mode of concern." A plant trip was assumed for all fires, including those for which immediate operator actions are not specified in emergency response procedures." For several fire zones, a minimum heat requirement for target damage was estimated." Propagation of fires in cable spreading room trays and electrical tunnels was modeled using a maximum heat release rate. This results in a shorter time to damage than P0247130002-4722 5-30 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals the five-minute delay using heat release rate scaling factors as a function of distance recommended in the EPRI fire PRA implementation guide.Implementation of the IP3 IPEEE recommendations reduced the fire risk. The fire suppression system in the 480V switchgear room was restored to automatic actuation, and realignment and rerouting of the power feeds to the EDG exhaust fans and engine auxiliaries in emergency diesel generator room 31, emergency diesel generator room 32, and emergency diesel generator room 33 significantly reduce the respective fire zone's CDF. In addition, restoration of the 480V switchgear room fire suppression system to automatic actuation results in a similar reduction in the fire zone 14/37A multiple compartment fire CDF. Consequently, the IPEEE fire CDF value was reduced from 5.58E-05/yr to 2.55E-05/yr.
Although it remains conservative, consistent with the SAMA analysis, the fire risk contribution of 2.55E-05/yr is maintained to determine the potential external event impact on the ILRT extension assessment.
In summary, combining the reduced seismic and fire CDF values results in an external events risk estimate of 5.20E-05/yr, which is 3.5 times higher than the internal events CDF (1.48E-05/yr).5.7.3 Additional Seismic Risk Discussion As an additional consideration, it can be noted that in June 2013, Entergy submitted information to the NRC that addressed some conservatisms in the original IPEEE analyses, and indicated that the seismic CDF risk at IP2 and IP3 are both actually less than 1.OE-05/yr
[25].However, to maintain consistency with the approach utilized in the SAMA analysis, the additional information will not be factored into this analysis but is noted here for completeness.
5.7.4 External Events Impact Summary Table 5.7-1 summarizes the external events CDF contribution for IP2 and 1P3. Although noted as conservative, these values are consistent with that used in the SAMA analysis [20].P0247130002-4722 5-31 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals TABLE 5.7-1 EXTERNAL EVENTS CONTRIBUTOR

Using an external events multiplier of 4.28 for IP2, the change in the LERF risk measure due to extending the ILRT from 3-per-l.0 years to 1-per-15 years, including both internal and external hazards risk, is estimated as shown in Table 5.7-2a. Similarly, the EPRI Class 3b frequencies shown in Table 5.6-1b for IP3 are 3.14E-08/yr, 1.05E-07/yr, and 1.58E-07/yr.
Using an external events multiplier of 3.51 for IP3, the change in the LERF risk measure due to extending the ILRT from 3-per-10 years to 1-per-15 years, including both internal and external hazards risk, is estimated as shown in Table 5.7-2b.P0247130002-4722 5-32 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals TABLE 5.7-2A IP2 3B (LERF/YR)

Thus for IP2, the total increase in LERF (measured from the baseline 3-per-10 year ILRT interval to the proposed 1-per-15 year frequency) due to the combined internal and external events contribution is estimated as 5.20E-07/yr, which includes the age adjusted steel liner corrosion likelihood.

The other acceptance criteria for the ILRT extension risk assessment can be similarly derived using the multiplier approach.
The results between the 3-in-10 year interval and the 15 year interval compared to the acceptance criteria are shown in Table 5.7-3. As can be seen, the impact from including the external events contributors would not change the conclusion of the risk assessment.
That is, the acceptance criteria are all met such that the estimated risk increase associated with permanently extending the ILRT surveillance interval to 15 years has been demonstrated to be small. Note that a bounding analysis for the total LERF contribution follows Table 5.7-3 to demonstrate that the total LERF value for IP2 and IP3 is less than 1.OE-5/yr consistent with the requirements for a "Small Change" in risk of the RG 1.174 acceptance guidelines.

Per RG 1.174, when the calculated increase in LERF due to the proposed plant change is in the "Small Change" range, the risk assessment must also reasonably show that the total LERF is less than 1.OE-5/yr.
Similar bounding assumptions regarding the external event contributions that were made above are used for the total LERF estimate.From Table 4.2-1, the total LERF due to postulated internal event accidents is 1.16E-06/yr for IP2 and 1.25E-06/yr for IP3. Although some of the LERF contributors may not be applicable to external events initiators, the base LERF distribution due to external events is assumed to be the same as the internal events contribution.
The total LERF values for IP2 and IP3 are then shown in Table 5.7-4.P0247130002-4722 5-35 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals TABLE 5.7-4 IMPACT OF 15-YR ILRT EXTENSION ON LERF FOR IP2 AND IP3 LERF CONTRIBUTOR IP2 (1/YR) IP3 (1/YR)Internal Events LERF 1.16E-06 1.25E-06 4.97E-06 4.38E-06 External Events LERF [Internal Events LERF * [Internal Events LERF *4.28] 3.51]Internal Events LERF due to 1.23E-07 1.58E-07 ILRT (at 15 years) (1)External Events LERF due to 5.26E-07 5.53E-07 ILRT (at 15 years) (1)Total 6.78E-06/yr 6.34E-06/yr) Including age adjusted steel liner corrosion likelihood as reported in Table 5.7-2a for IP2 and Table 5.7-2b for IP3.As can be seen, the estimated upper bound LERF for IP2 is estimated as 6.78E-06/yr and for IP3 it is 6.34E-06/yr.
These values are both less than the RG 1.174 requirement to demonstrate that the total LERF due to internal and external events is less than 1.OE-5/yr.
5.7.6 Alternative Approach for External Events Impact on ILRT Extension Assessment The approach above described in Section 5.7.5 for the external events impact is consistent with that used in the Palisades ILRT extension risk assessment evaluation that was submitted by Entergy [26] and approved by the NRC [27]. As shown, the IP2 and IP3 results fall within the value in the NRC SER for a small increase in population dose, as defined by percent increase in dose (i.e., <1.0% person-rem/yr).
However, since the IP2 and IP3 results rely on that criterion rather than the absolute increase in dose criteria (i.e., < 1.0 person-rem/yr), additional information is provided to further demonstrate that the percent increase in dose criteria is not exceeded.To do this, a reasonable estimate for the base case dose risk associated with external events must be determined.
In this case, each EPRI accident class is re-examined considering the potential contribution for external events. Since the Class 1 frequency is determined based on remaining contribution not assigned to other classes, the discussion appears in reverse order starting with EPRI Class 8 and ending with EPRI Class 1. However, EPRI Class 2 is discussed prior to Class 3 since its value is used in the final determination of the Class 3 frequencies.
P0247130002-4722 5-36 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Class 8 Sequences This group represents sequences where containment bypass occurs (SGTR or ISLOCA).ISLOCA and SGTR initiators are deemed inapplicable to the external events assessment so only induced SGTR scenarios need to be considered.
From the frequency information provided in Table 4.2-1 for IP2, the induced SGTR contribution to core damage is about 0.75% and for IP3 it represented about 0.39%. A value of 0.5% is assumed for the external events contribution for both IP2 and IP3. A High Early release magnitude dose is assigned.For IP2: Class_8 = 0.005 * [IP2 External Events CDF]= 0.005 * [5.01E-05]

= 2.60E-07/yr Class 7 Seauences This group represents containment failure induced by early and late severe accident phenomena.
From Table 5.1-1 for IP2, the contribution from the early Class 7 sequences is about 0.6% and for IP3 it represented about 1.3%. A value of 1.0% is assumed for the external events contribution for both IP2 and IP3. A High Early release magnitude dose is assigned.
From Table 5.1-1 for IP2, the contribution from the late Class 7 sequences is about 23% and for IP3 it represented about 15%. However, since the external events contributors are more dominated by unrecoverable SBO-like scenarios, a value of 50% is assumed for the external events contribution for both IP2 and IP3. A High Late release magnitude dose is assigned.P0247130002-4722 5-37 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals For IP2: Class_7-CFE

From the frequency information provided in Table 4.2-1 for IP2, the internal events contribution to this accident class was approximately 0.1% of the CDF and for IP3 it represented about 0.03%. Since seismic and fire initiated events would likely be more susceptible to this failure mode, the larger contribution of 0.1% is assumed for both IP2 and IP3. The population doses are assigned the same as the Class 2 scenarios in the internal events assessment.

This adjustment is made for based on the frequency information described above for IP2 and IP3, respectively as shown below.For IP2: Class_3a = 0.0092 * [CDF -(Class 2 + Class 7-CFE + Class 8)]= 0.0092 * [5.01E-05

= 1.18E-07/yr For this analysis, the associated containment leakage for Class 3a is 1OLa and 10OLa for Class 3b, which is consistent with the latest EPRI methodology
[3] and the NRC SE [7].Class 1 Sequences Similar to the internal events assessment, the frequency is determined by subtracting all containment failure end states including the EPRI/NEI Class 3a and 3b frequency calculated below, from the total CDF. The internal events intact containment dose of 4.41E+04 person-rem for IP2 and IP3 is also utilized.Summary of Alternative External Events Base Case Dose Assessment In summary, the accident sequence frequencies that can lead to release of radionuclides to the public have been derived in a manner consistent with the definition of accident classes defined in EPRI 1018243 [3]. These frequencies have been combined with reasonable assumptions regarding the population dose associated with each class to determine the base case population dose risk for external events. This information is provided in Table 5.7-5a for IP2 and in Table 5.7-5b for IP3. Additionally, following the same EPRI methodology utilized for internal events to determine the risk impact assessment of extending the ILRT interval, the external events accident class frequencies indicative of a 15 year ILRT interval are provided in Table 5.7-6a for IP2 and in Table 5.7-6b for IP3.Table 5.7-7 then shows the changes due to the ILRT extension from 3 year to a 15 year interval in the LERF, person-rem/yr, and CCFP figures of merit. When these values are added to the internal events results, the acceptance criteria are all still met by using this detailed alternative external events evaluation instead of the simple evaluation that was utilized in Section 5.7.5. A comparison to the acceptance criteria is also shown in Table 5.7-7. Note that the ALERF, person-rem/yr, and change in CCFCP shown in Table 5.7-7 are all slightly higher than the corresponding values shown in Table 5.7-3. This is because the simple method in Table 5.7-3 assumes the same distribution of LERF contributors exists between the internal P0247130002-4722 5-40 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals and external events models whereas the alternative assessment re-apportions the base case LERF contributions based on more realistic assumptions while conservatively maintaining the total CDF value. That is, since the contribution from SGTR initiators and ISLOCA initiators (which contribute to the base LERF value) are not applicable to the external events contribution, more of the remaining CDF distribution is potentially affected by the ILRT extension as represented by the Class 3b multiplier on CDF (that is not already LERF).Additionally, the alternative detailed assessment leads to slightly different percent increases in person-rem/yr which are a function of the base case dose estimates.

Per RG 1.174, when the calculated increase in LERF due to the proposed plant change is in the "Small Change" range, the risk assessment must also reasonably show that the total LERF is less than 1.0E-5/yr.
From Table 4.2-1, the total LERF due to postulated internal event accidents is 1.16E-06/yr for IP2 and 1.25E-06/yr for IP3. From Table 5.7-5a for IP2, the base external events LERF can be derived from the Class 2, Class 3b, Class 7-CFE, and Class 8 contributions.
From the individual contributions of 5.01E-08/yr
+ 1.13E-07/yr
+ 5.01E-07/yr
+ 2.51E-07/yr, this equates to 9.15E-07/yr.
From Table 5.7-5b for IP3, the individual contributions of 5.20E-08/yr
+1.18E-07/yr
+ 5.20E-07/yr
+ 2.60E-07/yr result in a total base case LERF from external events of 9.50E-07/yr.
The total LERF values for IP2 and IP3 using the alternative external events evaluation are then shown in Table 5.7-8.P0247130002-4722 5-45 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals TABLE 5.7-8 IMPACT OF 15-YR ILRT EXTENSION ON LERF FOR IP2 AND IP3 LERF CONTRIBUTOR IP2 (1/YR) IP3 (1/YR)Internal Events LERF 1.16E-06 1.25E-06 External Events LERF 9.15E-07 9.50E-07 Internal Events LERF due to 1.23E-07 1.58E-07 ILRT (at 15 years) (1)External Events LERF increase due to ILRT extension (2) 4.54E-07 4.71E-07 Total 2.65E-06/yr 2.83E-06/yr (1) Including age adjusted steel liner corrosion likelihood as reported in Table 5.7-2a for IP2 and Table 5.7-2b for IP3.(2) As shown in Table 5.7-7. This did not include the age adjusted steel liner corrosion likelihood, but this was demonstrated to be a small contributor for IP2 and IP3.As can be seen, the total LERF for IP2 is estimated as 2.65E-06/yr and for IP3 it is 2.83E-06/yr.
These values are both less than the RG 1.174 requirement to demonstrate that the total LERF due to internal and external events is less than 1.OE-5/yr.
P0247130002-4722 5-46 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals 5.8 CONTAINMENT OVERPRESSURE IMPACTS ON CDF For IP2 and IP3, ECCS NPSH calculations made in support of the GSI-191 effort [28, 29]confirmed that containment overpressure is not required to obtain adequate NPSH [30]. This is consistent with the PRA models which indicate there is no impact on CDF from the ILRT extension risk assessment.
In IP-CALC-06-000231
[28], the NPSHA / NPSHR relationship for IP2 ECCS pumps was being evaluated.
For conservatism in obtaining the NPSHA and NPSHR, the maximum volumetric flow rate was used. The greatest volumetric flow rate occurs when the least dense fluid is being pumped. This is at the highest temperature in the recirculation phase of the accident.
For IP2, this temperature was 264.4 F which occurs at start of recirculation.
Since 264.4 F is higher than 212 F, a boundary condition pressure of 37.6 psia is inputted.
This is close to the saturation pressure at 264.4 F so there is essentially no containment overpressure being invoked. In other words, 264.4 F and 37.6 psia is basically equivalent to 212 F and 14.7 psia (0 psig).* The same issue was addressed in IP-CALC-07-00054
[29] for the TP3 NPSHA /NPSHR evaluation.
Again, to be most conservative with respect to NPSHA and NPSHR, the maximum volumetric flow rate has to be used. This entails that the highest temperature during recirculation applies. This is 242.8 F at commencement of recirculation.
The saturation pressure at 242.8 F is close to 26.1 psia, which is the boundary condition pressure input in the calculation.
Again, essentially no containment overpressure is being invoked since 242.8 F and 26.1 psia is basically equivalent to 212 F and 14.7 psia (0 psig).P0247130002-4722 5-47 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals 6.0 SENSITIVITIES 6.1 SENSITIVITY TO CORROSION IMPACT ASSUMPTIONS The results in Tables 5.2-2a(b), 5.3-la(b), and 5.3-2a(b) show that including corrosion effects calculated using the assumptions described in Section 4.4 does not significantly affect the results of the ILRT extension risk assessment.
In any event, sensitivity cases were developed to gain an understanding of the sensitivity of the results to the key parameters in the corrosion risk analysis.
The time for the flaw likelihood to double was adjusted from every five years to every two and every ten years. The failure probabilities for the cylinder, dome and basemat were increased and decreased by an order of magnitude.
The total detection failure likelihood was adjusted from 10% to 15% and 5%. The results are presented in Table 6.1-1a for IP2 and in Table 6.1-1b for IP3. In every case, the impact from including the corrosion effects is very minimal. Even the upper bound estimates with very conservative assumptions for all of the key parameters yield increases in LERF due to corrosion of only 3.68E-8/yr for IP2 and 4.72E-08/yr for IP3. The results indicate that even with very conservative assumptions, the conclusions from the base analysis would not change.TABLE 6.1-1A STEEL LINER CORROSION SENSITIVITY CASES FOR IP2 AGE CONTAINMENT VISUAL INCREASE IN CLASS 3B (STEP 3 IN THE BREACH INSPECTION FREQUENCY (LERF)CORROSION (STEP 4 IN THE & NON- FOR ILRT EXTENSION ANALYSIS)

[3]. Since the risk impact assessment of the extensions to the ILRT interval is sensitive to both the probability of the leakage as well as the magnitude, it was decided to perform the expert elicitation in a manner to solicit the probability of leakage as a function of leakage magnitude.
In addition, the elicitation was performed for a range of failure modes which allowed experts to account for the range of failure mechanisms, the potential for undiscovered mechanisms, inaccessible areas of the containment as well as the potential for. detection by alternate means. The expert elicitation process has the advantage of considering the available data for small leakage events, which have occurred in the data, and extrapolate those events and probabilities of occurrence to the potential for large magnitude leakage events.The basic difference in the application of the ILRT interval methodology using the expert elicitation is a change in the probability of pre-existing leakage within containment.
The base case methodology uses the Jeffrey's non-informative prior for the large leak size and the expert elicitation sensitivity study uses the results from the expert elicitation.
In addition, given the relationship between leakage magnitude and probability, larger leakage that is more representative of large early release frequency can be reflected.
For the purposes of this sensitivity, the same leakage magnitudes that are used in the base case methodology (i.e., 1OLa for small and 10OLa for large) are used here. Table 6.2-1 illustrates the magnitudes and probabilities of a pre-existing leak in containment associated with the base case and the expert elicitation statistical treatments.
These values are used in the ILRT interval extension for the base methodology and in this sensitivity case. Details of the expert elicitation process, including the input to expert elicitation as well as the results of the expert elicitation, are available in the various appendices of EPRI 1018243 [3].TABLE 6.2-1 EPRI EXPERT ELICITATION RESULTS LEAKAGE SIZE (LA) BASE CASE MEAN EXPERT PERCENT PROBABILITY OF ELICITATION MEAN REDUCTION OCCURRENCE PROBABILITY OF OCCURRENCE

As mentioned previously, probability values are those associated with the magnitude of the leakage used in the base case evaluation (1OLa for small and 10OLa for large). The expert elicitation process produces a relationship between probability and leakage magnitude in which it is possible to assess higher leakage magnitudes that are more reflective of large early releases; however, these evaluations are not performed in this particular study.The net effect is that the reduction in the multipliers shown above also leads to a dramatic reduction on the calculated increases in the LERF values. As shown in Table 6.2-2a for IP2, the increase in the overall value for LERF due to Class 3b sequences that is due to increasing the ILRT test interval from 3 to 15 years is just 1.05E-08/yr.
Similarly, the increase due to increasing the interval from 10 to 15 years is just 4.40E-09/yr.
As shown in Table 6.2-2b for 1P3, the increase in the overall value for LERF due to Class 3b sequences that is due to increasing the ILRT test interval from 3 to 15 years is just 1.34E-08/yr.
Similarly, the increase due to increasing the interval from 10 to 15 years is just 5.60E-09/yr.
As such, if the expert elicitation probabilities of occurrence are used instead of the non-informative prior estimates, the change in LERF for IP2 and IP3 is within the range of a "very small" change in risk when compared to the current 1-in-10, or baseline 3-in-10 year requirement.
Additionally, as shown in Table 6.2-2a for IP2 and Table 6.2-2b for IP3, the increase in dose rate and CCFP are similarly reduced to much smaller values. The results of this sensitivity study are judged to be more indicative of the actual risk associated with the ILRT extension than the results from the assessment as dictated by the values from the EPRI methodology
[3], and yet are still conservative given the assumption that all of the Class 3b contribution is considered to be LERF.P0247130002-4722 6-5 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals TABLE 6.2-2A IP2 ILRT CASES: 3 IN 10 (BASE CASE), 1 IN 10, AND 1 IN 15 YR INTERVALS (BASED ON EPRI EXPERT ELICITATION LEAKAGE PROBABILITIES)

7.0 CONCLUSION
S Based on the results from Section 5 and the sensitivity calculations presented in Section 6, the following conclusions regarding the assessment of the plant risk are associated with permanently extending the Type A ILRT test frequency to fifteen years:* Reg. Guide 1.174 [4] provides guidance for determining the risk impact of plant-specific changes to the licensing basis. Reg. Guide 1.174 defines "very small" changes in risk as resulting in increases of CDF below 1.OE-06/yr and increases in LERF below 1.OE-07/yr. "Small" changes in risk are defined as increases in CDF below 1.OE-05/yr and increases in LERF below 1.OE-06/yr.
Since the ILRT extension was demonstrated to have no impact on CDF for IP2 and IP3, the relevant criterion is LERF. The increase in internal events LERF resulting from a change in the Type A ILRT test interval for the base case with corrosion included for IP2 is 9.84E-08/yr (see Table 5.6-1a). In using the EPRI Expert Elicitation methodology, the change is estimated as 1.05E-08/yr (see Table 6.2-2a). Both of these values fall within the very small change region of the acceptance guidelines in Reg. Guide 1.174. For IP3, the increase is estimated at 1.26E-07/yr (see Table 5.6-1b), which is within the small change region of the acceptance guidelines in Reg. Guide 1.174. In using the EPRI Expert Elicitation methodology, the change is estimated as 1.34E-08/yr (see Table 6.2-2b), which is within the very small change region of the acceptance guidelines in Reg. Guide 1.174.* The change in dose risk for changing the Type A test frequency from three-per-ten years to once-per-fifteen-years, measured as an increase to the total integrated dose risk for all internal events accident sequences for IP2, is 0.584 person-rem/yr (0.62%) using the EPRI guidance with the base case corrosion case (Table 5.6-1a).The change in dose risk drops to 1.11E-01 person-rem/yr when using the EPRI Expert Elicitation methodology (Table 6.2-2a). For IP3, it is 0.751 person-rem/yr (0.93%) using the EPRI guidance with the base case corrosion case (Table 5.6-1b).The change in dose risk drops to 1.42E-01 person-rem/yr when using the EPRI Expert Elicitation methodology (Table 6.2-2b). The values calculated per the EPRI guidance are all lower than the acceptance criteria of 51.0 person-rem/yr or <1.0%person-rem/yr defined in Section 1.3.* The increase in the conditional containment failure frequency from the three in ten year interval to one in fifteen years including corrosion effects using the EPRI guidance (see Section 5.5) is 0.84% for IP2 and 0.85% for IP3. This value drops to less that 0.10% for IP2 and IP3 using the EPRI Expert Elicitation methodology (see Table 6.2-2a and Table 6.2-2b, respectively).
This is below the acceptance criteria of less than 1.5% defined in Section 1.3.* To determine the potential impact from external events, a bounding assessment from the risk associated with external events utilizing information from the IP2 and IP3 IPEEEs similar to the approach used in the License Renewal SAMA analysis was performed.
As shown in Table 5.7-2a for IP2, the total increase in LERF due to internal events and the bounding external events assessment is 5.20E-07/yr.
As shown in Table 5.7-2b for IP3, the total increase in LERF due to internal events and the bounding external events assessment is 5.70E-07/yr.
Both of these values are in Region II of the Reg. Guide 1.174 acceptance guidelines.
P0247130002-4722 7-1 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals* As shown in Table 5.7-4, the same bounding analysis indicates that the total LERF from both internal and external risks is 6.78E-06/yr for IP2 and 6.34E-06/yr for IP3, which are less than the Reg. Guide 1.174 limit of 1.OE-05/yr given that the ALERF is in Region II (small change in risk)." Finally, since the external events assessment led to exceeding one of the two alternative acceptance criteria (i.e. greater than 1.0 person-rem/yr, an alternative detailed bounding external events assessment was also performed to demonstrate that the alternate 1.0% person-rem/yr criterion and the other acceptance criteria could still be met. In this case, as shown in Table 5.7-7 for IP2, the total change in LERF from both internal and external events was 5.52E-7/yr, the change in person-rem/yr was 3.28/yr representing 0.59% of the total, and the change in the CCFP was 0.89%. For IP3, the total change in LERF from both internal and external events was 5.97E-7/yr, the change in person-rem/yr was 3.55/yr representing 0.65% of the total, and the change in the CCFP was 0.89%. All of these calculated changes meet the acceptance criteria.
As shown in Table 5.7-8, this assessment indicates that the total LERF from both internal and external risks is 2.65E-06/yr for IP2 and 2.83E-06/yr for IP3, which are less than the Reg. Guide 1.174 limit of 1.OE-05/yr given that the ALERF is in Region II (small change in risk).* Including age-adjusted steel liner corrosion effects in the ILRT assessment was demonstrated to be a small contributor to the impact of extending the ILRT interval for IP2 and IP3.Therefore, increasing the ILRT interval on a permanent basis to a one-in-fifteen year frequency is not considered to be significant since it represents only a small change in the IP2 and IP3 risk profiles.Previous Assessments The NRC in NUREG-1493
[6] has previously concluded the following:
- Reducing the frequency of Type A tests (ILRTs) from three per 10 years to one per 20 years was found to lead to an imperceptible increase in risk. The estimated increase in risk is very small because ILRTs identify only a few potential containment leakage paths that cannot be identified by Type B and C testing, and the leaks that have been found by Type A tests have been only marginally above existing requirements.
- Given the insensitivity of risk to containment leakage rate and the small fraction of leakage paths detected solely by Type A testing, increasing the interval between integrated leakage-rate tests is possible with minimal impact on public risk. The impact of relaxing the ILRT frequency beyond one in 20 years has not been evaluated.
Beyond testing the performance of containment penetrations, ILRTs also test the integrity of the containment structure.
The findings for IP2 and IP3 confirm these general findings on a plant specific basis considering the severe accidents evaluated, the containment failure modes, and the local population surrounding IP2 and IP3.P0247130002-4722 7-2 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy

A. 1 OVERVIEW A technical Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) analysis is presented in this report to help support an extension of the IP2 and IP3 containment Type A test integrated leak rate test (ILRT) interval to fifteen years.The analysis follows the guidance provided in Regulatory Guide 1.200, Revision 2 [A.1], "An Approach for Determining the Technical Adequacy of Probabilistic Risk Assessment Results for Risk-Informed Activities." The guidance in RG-1.200 indicates that the following steps should be followed to perform this study: 1. Identify the parts of the PRA used to support the application" SSCs, operational characteristics affected by the application and how these are implemented in the PRA model." A definition of the acceptance criteria used for the application.
- 2. Identify the scope of risk contributors addressed by the PRA model* If not full scope (i.e. internal and external), identify appropriate compensatory measures or provide bounding arguments to address the risk contributors not addressed by the model.3. Summarize the risk assessment methodology used to assess the risk of the application
- Include how the PRA model was modified to appropriately model the risk impact of the change request.4. Demonstrate the Technical Adequacy of the PRA" Identify plant changes (design or operational practices) that have been incorporated at the site, but are not yet in the PRA model and justify why the change does not impact the PRA results used to support the application." Document peer review findings and observations that are applicable to the parts of the PRA required for the application, and for those that have not yet been addressed justify why the significant contributors would not be impacted." Document that the parts of the PRA used in the decision are consistent with applicable standards endorsed by the Regulatory Guide. Provide justification to show that where specific requirements in the standard are not met, it will not unduly impact the results." Identify key assumptions and approximations relevant to the results used in the decision-making process.Items 1 through 3 are covered in the main body of this report. The purpose of this appendix is to address the requirements identified in item 4 above. Each of these items (plant changes P0247130002-4722 A-1 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy not yet incorporated into the PRA model, relevant peer review findings, consistency with applicable PRA standards and the identification of key assumptions) are discussed in the following sections.The risk assessment performed for the ILRT extension request is based on the current Level 1 and Level 2 PRA models of record. Information developed for the license renewal effort to support the Level 2 release categories is also used in this analysis supplemented by additional calculations to more appropriately represent the intact containment case in the ILRT extension risk assessment.
Note that for this application, the accepted methodology involves a bounding approach to estimate the change in the LERF from extending the ILRT interval.
Rather than exercising the PRA model itself, it involves the establishment of separate evaluations that are linearly related to the plant CDF contribution.
Consequently, a reasonable representation of the plant CDF that does not result in a LERF does not require that Capability Category II be met in every aspect of the modeling if the Category I treatment is conservative or otherwise does not significantly impact the results.As further discussed below, the PRA models used for this application are the latest models, which were released in November 2011 (for IP2) and November 2012 (for IP3). There are no significant plant changes (design or operational practices) that have not yet been incorporated in those PRA models.A discussion of the Entergy model update process, the peer reviews performed on the IP2 and IP3 models, the results of those peer reviews and the potential impact of peer review findings on the ILRT extension risk assessment are provided in Section A.2. Section A.3 provides an assessment of key assumptions and approximations used in this assessment and Section A.4 briefly summarizes the results of the PRA technical adequacy assessment with respect to this application.
A.2 PRA UPDATE PROCESS AND PEER REVIEW RESULTS A.2.1 Introduction The Indian Point Unit 2 (IP2) and Unit 3 (IP3) Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) models used for this application
[A.2 and A.3] are the most recent evaluations of the IP2 and IP3 risk profiles for internal event challenges.
The IP2 and IP3 PRA modeling is highly detailed, including a wide variety of initiating events, modeled systems, operator actions, and common P0247130002-4722 A-2 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy cause failure events. The PRA model quantification process is based on the event tree and fault tree methodology, which is a well-known methodology in the industry.Entergy employs a multi-faceted approach to establishing and maintaining the technical adequacy and plant fidelity of the PRA models for all operating Entergy nuclear power plants.This approach includes both a proceduralized PRA maintenance and update process, and the use of self-assessments and independent peer reviews. The following information describes this approach as it applies to the IP2 and IP3 PRA models.A.2.2 PRA Maintenance and Update The Entergy risk management process ensures that the applicable PRA model is an accurate reflection of the as-built and as-operated plant. This process is defined in the Entergy fleet procedure EN-DC-151, "PSA Maintenance and Update" [A.4]. This procedure delineates the responsibilities and guidelines for updating the full power internal events PRA models at all operating Entergy nuclear power plants. In addition, the procedure also defines the process for implementing regularly scheduled and interim PRA model updates, and for tracking issues identified as potentially affecting the PRA models (e.g., due to changes in the plant, industry operating experience, etc.). To ensure that the current PRA model remains an accurate reflection of the as-built, as-operated plant, the following activities are routinely performed: " Design changes and procedure changes are reviewed for their impact on the PRA model. Potential PRA model changes resulting from these reviews are entered into the Model Change Request (MCR) database, and a determination is made regarding the significance of the change with respect to current PRA model." New engineering calculations and revisions to existing calculations are reviewed for their impact on the PRA model.* Plant specific initiating event frequencies, failure rates, and maintenance unavailabilities are updated approximately every four years, and* Industry standards, experience, and technologies are periodically reviewed to ensure that any changes are appropriately incorporated into the models.In addition, following each periodic PRA model update, Entergy performs a self-assessment to assure that the PRA quality and expectations for all current applications are met. The Entergy PRA maintenance and update procedure requires updating of all risk informed applications that may have been impacted by the update.P0247130002-4722 A-3 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy A.2.3 Regulatory Guide 1.200 PWROG Peer Review of the IP2 and IP3 Internal Events PRA Models Both the IP2 and IP3 internal events models went through a Regulatory Guide 1.200 PWR Owners Group peer review using the NEI 05-04 process.The IP2 PRA internal events model peer review was performed in December 2009, and used the American Society of Mechanical Engineers PRA Standard RA-Sb-2005, and Regulatory Guide 1.200 Revision 1. The IP3 PRA internal events model peer review was performed in December 2010. Since the IP3 peer review was later, it used RA-Sa-2009 (the American Society of Mechanical Engineers
/ American Nuclear Society Combined PRA Standard) and Regulatory Guide 1.200 Revision 2. As noted in the forward to the combined standard, the primary purpose, in addition to combining internal and external events into a single standard, was to ensure consistency in format, organization, language, and level of detail. It was also noted that, among the criteria observed in assembling the component Standards were: (a) the requirements in the Standards would not be revised or modified (b) no new requirements would be included An internal comparison of the ASME standard to the combined ASME / ANS standard confirmed that there were few substantive changes to the internal events portion of the standard, although the expected level of documentation was increased in some cases.The IP2 and IP3 PRA peer reviews addressed all the technical elements of the internal events, at-power PRA:* Initiating Events Analysis (IE)* Accident Sequence Analysis (AS)" Success Criteria (SC)" Systems Analysis (SY)" Human Reliability Analysis (HR)" Data Analysis (DA)* Internal Flooding (IF)* Quantification (QU)* LERF Analysis (LE)* Maintenance and Update Process (MU)P0247130002-4722 A-4 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy During the IP2 and IP3 PRA model peer reviews, the technical elements identified above were assessed with respect to Capability Category II criteria to better focus the Supporting Requirement assessments.
A.2.4 Peer Review Results The ASME PRA standards used for the IP2 and IP3 peer reviews each contained a total of 326 numbered supporting requirements.
A number of the supporting requirements were determined to be not applicable to the IP2 or IP3 PRA (e.g., BWR related, multi-site related).Of the applicable supporting requirements, 95% were satisfied at Capability Category II or greater for IP2, and 97% were satisfied at Capability Category II criteria or greater for IP3.The Facts and Observations (F&Os) for the IP2 PRA peer review are provided in the report, entitled, "RG 1.200 PRA Peer Review Against the ASME PRA Standard Requirements for the Indian Point 2 Nuclear Power Plant Probabilistic Risk Assessment" [A.5]. Of the 41 Facts and Observations (F&Os) generated by the Peer Review Team, 21 were considered Findings.The Facts and Observations (F&Os) for the IP3 PRA peer review are provided in the report, entitled, "RG 1.200 PRA Peer Review Against the ASME PRA Standard Requirements for the Indian Point 3 Probabilistic Risk Assessment" [A.6]. Of the 68 Facts and Observations (F&Os)generated by the Peer Review Team, 11 were considered Findings.As a result of the Regulatory Guide 1.200 PWROG peer reviews, all the F&Os (other than best practices) were identified as potential improvements to the IP2 and IP3 PRA models or documentation and were entered into the Entergy Model Change Request (MCR) database.Tables A.2-1 and A.2-2 contain the findings resulting from the peer review of each unit, the status of the resolution for each finding and the potential impact of each finding on this application.
In summary, a majority of the findings were related to documentation and have no material impact. As shown, almost all findings have been resolved and incorporated into the updated model and/or documentation.
Resolution of the few open peer review findings is expected to have, at most, a minor impact on the model and its quantitative results and no significant impact on the conclusions of this application.
In resolving the IP3 peer review findings, several additional internal flooding sources were identified as not being addressed in the original internal flooding analysis report. Most of those sources involved fire protection piping, but they also included auxiliary component cooling water (ACCW) piping in the fan house and short sections of component cooling water (CCW)P0247130002-4722 A-5 Risk Impact Assessment of Extending the Indian Point ILRT Intervals Appendix A PRA Technical Adequacy piping in a pipe chase in the foyer outside the charging pump rooms. These additional sources were included in the final model used for this application.
A.2.5 External Events Although EPRI report 1018243 [A.7] recommends a quantitative assessment of the contribution of external events (for example, fire and seismic) where a model of sufficient quality exists, it also recognizes that the external events assessment can be taken from existing, previously submitted and approved analyses or another alternate method of assessing an order of magnitude estimate for contribution of the external event to the impact of the changed interval.
Since the most current external events models for IP2 and IP3 are those embodied in the IPEEE, a multiplier was applied to the internal events results based on the IPEEE, similar to that used in the SAMA analysis [A.8 and A.9]. This is further discussed in Section 5.7 of the risk assessment.
A.2.6 Summary The IP2 and IP3 PRA technical capability evaluations and the maintenance and update processes described above provide a robust basis for concluding that these PRA models are suitable for use in the risk-informed process used for this application.

The analysis included the incorporation of several sensitivity studies and factored in the potential impacts from external events in a bounding fashion. None of the sensitivity studies or bounding analysis indicated any source of uncertainty or modeling assumption that would have resulted in exceeding the acceptance guidelines.
Since the accepted process utilizes a bounding analysis approach which is mostly driven by that CDF contribution which does not already lead to LERF, there are no identified key assumptions or sources of uncertainty for this application (i.e. those which would change the conclusions from the risk assessment results presented here).A.4
SUMMARY
A PRA technical adequacy evaluation was performed consistent with the requirements of RG-1.200, Revision 2. This evaluation combined with the details of the results of this analysis demonstrates with reasonable assurance that the proposed extension to the ILRT interval for IP2 and IP3 to fifteen years satisfies the risk acceptance guidelines in RG 1.174.A.5 REFERENCES
