Attachment 1 to W3F1-2013-0010 Waterford 3 Communications Assessment - Addressing Eight Technical Issues to W3F1-2013-0010 Page 1 of 5 Waterford 3 Communications Assessment - Addressing Eight Technical Issues Technical Issue 1:
The staff identified that licensees need to discuss how the power for the equipment analyzed is expected to be available, and how the planned communications enhancements are expected to be maintained. The following areas were identified:
A. A detailed description of how power will be maintained for (1) planned or potential enhancements to the communication links, and (2) existing equipment analyzed to be available.
- 1. The number of replacement batteries expected to be needed for a 24-hour duration, per the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 12-01 "Guideline for Assessing Beyond Design Bass Accident Response Staffing and Communications Capabilities".
- 2. Generator availability to charge batteries without offsite equipment for a duration of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
- 3. A description of how ancillary equipment supports operations for a 24-hour duration (e.g. adequacy of fuel supplies for the generators; and the minimum number of battery chargers expected to be necessary).
Response
As stated in Section 2 of the October 31, 2012, submittal, Communication links are assumed to be established via satellite phones and use of the existing site radio system(s). Backup power was to be provided via uninterruptable power supplies (UPSs) initially and then by portable generators. Entergy has clarified that it plans to utilize UPS units to provide 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of back-up power for radio system repeaters; see Sections 4.12.1 through 4.12.4. Hand-held equipment (radios and satellite phones) will have adequate spare batteries to provide for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />; see Section 4.1. As such, no portable generator use is planned for the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. The specific number of batteries will be determined during the detailed engineering activity of the project. If during detailed engineering and planning, it is identified that these enhancements are not feasible or practical; an alternate approach will be developed.
Technical Issue 2:
The use and function of the planned enhancements for the improvement of communications:
A. A description of the use of the planned enhancements:
- 1. A discussion of whether each planned enhancement identified is only to be used for maintaining the communication link identified, or if it is expected to be shared among other communication links.

The title and brief description of a procedure for new communications equipment storage is acceptable, if this procedure is planned to be developed in the future; or a statement that this will be completed in alignment with NRC order EA-12-049.
- 2. Equipment stored off-site, should have an analysis of duration to set-up this equipment for use.
- 3. The analysis demonstrates that the existing equipment that is expected to be available will be functional.
Response
New power supplies for radio equipment will be installed adjacent to the existing equipment and therefore are protected per the discussion provided in Section 4.12 of the assessment report. The enhancements identified for the existing equipment would also apply to the new power supplies. Section 4.5 of the report has been revised to clarify this point.
No equipment is currently planned to be stored off site.
Analysis is per section 4.12 of the assessment report.

Attachment 2 to W3F1-2013-0010 Supplemented Waterford 3 Communications Assessment to W3F1-2013-0010 Page 1 of 27 Supplemented Waterford 3 Communications Assessment
- 1. Executive Summary:
The purpose of this report is to document performance of an NRC-requested assessment of the current communications systems and equipment used at the Waterford 3 SES during an emergency event as defined by NEI 12-01, Guideline for Assessing Beyond Design Basis Accident Response Staffing and Communications Capabilities. Power supplies for the existing communications equipment to be credited have been assessed to determine power availability during a prolonged Station Blackout (SBO) event.
The beyond design basis events assumed in this assessment introduce conditions that could render a significant portion of existing communications capabilities inoperable. The assessment identifies enhancements to maintain communications capabilities for responding to emergency events. These enhancements include:
- Improvements to radio equipment power supplies including: UPS(s)/batteries for fixed equipment.
- Added satellite based communications capability.
- Re-locating flooding vulnerable equipment to locations above design flood level.
to W3F1-2013-0010 Page 2 of 27
- 2. Methodology This report is based on the recommended criteria from NEI 12-01, for use in identifying enhancements that will ensure the availability of critical communications capabilities during an extended loss of AC power, including evaluation of power sources for communications equipment. This approach provides the flexibility to perform a communications capability assessment that accommodates specific site needs while, at the same time, ensuring consistency with industry-developed standards, and NRC regulations and guidance.
The assessment focused on the communication systems to be credited. For example, existing telephone communications are assumed to be inoperable and therefore are not credited or evaluated in this assessment. Communication links are assumed to be established via satellite phones and use of the existing site radio system(s). Walk downs to evaluate the equipment locations and function were performed. Enhancements identified within the assessment will be further developed as implementation progresses. Alternate approaches will be utilized if prudent (e.g. alternate/new technology, improved capability, cost savings, etc.).
- 3. Assumptions: The assumptions as stated in NEI 12-01 form the basis for this assessment, including:
- Extended loss of AC power event
- Successful plant shutdown
- No hostile action
- 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> post event - no site access
- 6-24 hours post event - limited site access, individual access by walking, personal transport or alternative transport
- 24+ hours post event - site access restored to near normal status
- Installed sources of AC power not available
- Non-essential loads from DC battery sources are stripped per station procedures
- Installed inverters and battery chargers remain available provided they are protected from external events
- Onsite diesel fuel oil is available provided it is stored in a protected manner from external events
- Portable equipment may be used provided it is stored onsite and protected from seismic, wind and flooding events. Includes portable AC and DC power sources
- Onsite communications infrastructure remains available provided it is protected from seismic, wind and flooding events.
- Offsite communications infrastructure is inoperable out to 25 miles
- Communications equipment located at an offsite response facility and supplied from a backup power source is assumed to be functional.
- 4. Communications During An Extended Loss Of AC Power NEI 12-01 Section 4, Communications During an Extended Loss of AC Power, provides the basis for the following assessment.
to W3F1-2013-0010 Page 3 of 27 4.1 Required Emergency Communication Capabilities (NEI 12-01 Section 4.1)
Entergy has reviewed the communications links and has determined the method of communications (i.e. radio or satellite phone) for each defined link and overall the number of satellite phones and radios needed. The analysis has determined in order to establish the required links, additional satellite phones and spare batteries are needed. The attached rollup tables provide additional detail on the identified communication links.
4.2 Plant Paging (Announcement) System (NEI 12-01 Section 4.2)
NEI 12-01 Section 4.2 requires notification of the plant staff at the onset of the event. The Waterford 3 plant paging system provides public address capability over a large portion of the site. Considering the event as defined by NEI 12-01, the system is limited primarily by the lack of system wide back up power. Although portions of the system may be available, it will not be credited as available for notification of plant personnel. Alternative measures should be established (non-essential plant personnel should be trained to report to site assembly areas during SBO conditions).
4.3 Communications Equipment at Offsite Response Organization (ORO) Facilities (NEI 12-01 Section 4.3)
Per NEI 12-01, Some communications capability should be available at the ORO facilities that normally receive licensee notifications of an emergency declaration or a Protective Action Recommendation. Entergy has assessed capabilities at their ORO facilities. All four (4) ORO facilities (St. Charles Parish, St. John the Baptist Parish, Governors Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Preparedness, and Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality) have backup power and satellite phone communications. No additional communication capabilities will be required at the ORO facilities.
4.4 Notification of the Emergency Response Organization (ERO) (NEI 12-01 Section 4.4)
NEI 12-01 offers two potential options to promote timely staff augmentation by the ERO.
Waterford 3 will ensure that ERO members are trained to automatically respond to their assigned facilities or a designated staging area when made aware of a wide loss-of-grid (e.g. by direct observation, media reports, word-of-mouth, etc.). This expectation has been communicated to the ERO and has been included in initial and annual ERO requalification training.
4.5 Equipment Location Requirements (NEI 12-01 Section 4.5)
Communication equipment to be used or considered operable, should be in a location and maintained in a manner that maximizes survivability following a beyond design basis external event. In particular, the location or manner should reasonably preclude wetting from flooding or impact damage from a seismic event. The communication links as defined by NEI 12-01 should be established using satellite phones and radios. Existing, installed communications equipment to be credited (i.e. considered operable) is limited to the plant radio system(s). Assessments have been performed, including walkdowns, of the existing installed radio equipment. Enhancements are recommended to address some identified concerns associated with the equipments ability to survive a seismic event.
Structural capability of the equipment support/mounting as well as impact from adjacent equipment and/or stored material should be addressed. Power supply enhancements are to W3F1-2013-0010 Page 4 of 27 expected to be installed adjacent to the existing equipment and therefore would be subject to the same assessment findings and resulting enhancements. An issue associated with wetting from flooding was identified for the Information Technology Building and the Emergency Operations Facility. See Sections 4.12.1 - 4.12.4 and Table 9 in attached rollup tables for details. Programmatic requirements need to be established to ensure the credited equipment is maintained in a manner that maximizes survivability.
No equipment is currently planned to be stored off site for onsite use.
4.6 Performance Characteristics (NEI 12-01 Section 4.6)
The performance characteristics as identified in this section of NEI 12-01 requires that communication pathways (e.g., radio channels, satellite phone) designated to support multiple functions must be analyzed to demonstrate that they can simultaneously support both functions. Entergy has not identified any communication pathway assigned to support multiple functions.
4.7 Other Assessment Considerations (NEI 12-01 Section 4.7)
Enhancements (physical and programmatic) are recommended to ensure considerations, as identified in this section of NEI 12-01, are met. Provisions for portable backup power sources and batteries for battery operated equipment should be established.
4.8 Quality and Maintenance-Related Requirements (NEI 12-01 Section 4.8)
The requirements identified in this section of NEI 12-01 should be incorporated into the program for ensuring the credited equipment is maintained in a manner that maximizes survivability. Programmatic controls should be established to ensure that equipment remains available and operable. Existing site inventory and test procedures will be updated and used for the new equipment to ensure the equipment is available and operable. Site maintenance programs will be used as appropriate for controlling required maintenance (e.g. replacing UPS batteries).
4.9 National Communications System (NCS) Services (NEI 12-01 Section 4.9)
Waterford 3 currently has voice circuits that are TSP (Telecommunications Service Priority) protected. The GETS (Government Emergency Telecommunications Services) access card service, which aids in routing a phone call through a high traffic infrastructure, would have limited value in a natural disaster in which there was little infrastructure available. However, Waterford 3 maintains GETS access cards for the potential value added. Additional TSP protection is not planned.
4.10 Communication Provider Emergency Services (NEI 12-01 Section 4.10)
Entergy has contacted the major communications service providers which service the Entergy nuclear fleet (i.e. Verizon and AT&T). Neither company has a separate emergency services priority other than government TSP (Telecommunications Service Priority), which is addressed in Section 4.9. No further enhancements are planned.
to W3F1-2013-0010 Page 5 of 27 4.11 Personnel Training (NEI 12-01 Section 4.11)
Additional training is needed to ensure ERO and plant staff is familiar with the credited equipments use and storage location and other requirements. Training may include:
drills, tabletops, classroom and/or computer based training. Appropriate personnel will be familiarized with the communication equipment use, capabilities and limitations during the interim period prior to full implementation of the identified enhancements.
4.12 Equipment Locations and Capabilities The communications functions, radio reception/transmission equipment, and protection of each location from seismic, wind, and flooding are discussed below. Specifically, the structural capacity of the equipment in its current configuration was evaluated in its ability to withstand the identified external hazards. These hazards include seismic, flooding, and high winds. The structural evaluation was based on engineering judgment developed by a consensus of two engineers experienced in structural design and construction.
It is required that EP Communication equipment be reasonably protected from a beyond design basis seismic event. To the extent possible, the existing guidance provided in EPRI NP-6041, " Nuclear Power Plant Seismic Margin " is used for determination of the seismic/wind design capabilities of structures containing Systems, Structures and Components (SSCs) in the vicinity (adjacent and overhead) of existing Emergency Plan (EP) Communication equipment. Additionally, existing seismic/wind housekeeping procedures should be used to establish secure storage of EP communication equipment.
This includes consideration of adjacent SSCs that may pose a potential seismic/wind interaction hazard.
Where these procedures and guidance cannot be applied, it should be ensured that EP Communication equipment be contained within one or more of the configurations:
In an existing safety related structure designed for the Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE), or In a structure designed to or evaluated equivalent to ASCE 7-10, "Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures", or Outside a structure and evaluated for seismic interactions to ensure equipment is not damaged by non-seismically robust components or structures, and Equipment is located above the design basis flood elevation for the plant (29.25) or is otherwise protected and would not be subjected to localized flooding.
The sections below provide a summary of the area walk downs and their potential configuration concerns that could present challenges in maintaining an operable communication system in the event of one or more of the identified environmental hazards.
4.12.1 Reactor Auxiliary Building (RAB)
Location and General
Description:
The RAB is classified as a safety-related structure and is designed Seismic Category I.
The communications equipment is located in a limited access, air conditioned to W3F1-2013-0010 Page 6 of 27 communication equipment room in the RAB (+7 ft. elevation). The room is bounded by the building exterior on two sides and two masonry block walls (North and West side) with steel angle restraints on the other two sides. Entrance is through an interior fire door (Door 123) from the corridor. The room is normally ventilated via a fan in the ceiling. The antennae for the repeaters are located on the top of the structure.
The RAB structure provides reasonable assurance that the EP Communications Equipment is protected during a seismic event, as defined in NEI 12-01.
Equipment & Functionality:
The communication equipment room located in RAB (+7 ft. elevation) houses radio cabinets, plant paging system, and the Public Automatic Branch Exchange (PABX) system. The radio cabinet contains five repeaters (operations and maintenance, secondary radiological field monitoring, radiation protection, and security) and combiner equipment. The operations and maintenance radio system is the primary radio communications network for normal onsite communication for operations and maintenance personnel. When an emergency is declared, the maintenance radio frequency is assigned to emergency communications. The secondary radiological field monitoring radio network is used to transmit offsite radiological data during an emergency. The security radio system is to communicate with security personnel during normal and emergency conditions.
Remote radio stations are located inside and outside of the protected area. These stations provide coverage to interior and exterior areas of the plant.
Power:
Power to the radio system equipment is supplied from RAB Distribution Panel PDP-387-2A, circuits 3, 4, 11, and 12. Distribution Panel PDP-387-2A is powered from a 120 VAC source from the Computer Static Uninterruptible Power Supply (SUPS) System. The Computer SUPS rated at 200 KVA having maximum output of 1666.7 Amps at 120V AC.
It is recommended that the UPS batteries will be sized to provide adequate amp hour capacity as required.
Seismic Protection:
Computer Equipment Rooms RAB (+7 ft. and +21 ft. elevation)
Seismic - ENHANCEMENT RECOMMENDED Anchorages - ENHANCEMENT RECOMMENDED Issues:
- The Meridian PABX cabinets are on wheels with jacked up leveling screws. The Meridian PABX cabinets are not anchored.
- The walkdown team did not enter into the AB Battery room since it required a key from the Control Room. The walkdown team has taken into consideration that since the batteries are located in the RAB, they would be seismically mounted. Need to verify that the AB Batteries are seismically mounted.
Acceptable Anchorage:
to W3F1-2013-0010 Page 7 of 27
- The Motorola radio cabinets, plant paging system and old PABX racks are anchored to floor. The anchorage of this equipment is seismically acceptable. There are no concerns regarding degraded anchorages.
- The wall mounted electrical panels anchorage is seismically acceptable.
- The switches, connectors and small transformers mounted to plywood panel boards attached to Unistrut anchored to wall judged acceptable.
- The AB SUPS cabinets are anchored to the floor and are considered seismically adequate.
Spatial Interactions:
Issues:
- None Acceptable Spatial Interactions:
- Cable raceways are approximately 50% filled and are mounted using standard Unistruct rod hanger hardware. There are coiled fiber optic cables tie wrapped to the outside of the cable tray above the new PABX cabinets. Per discussion with Waterford 3 site representative during the walkdown, the coil fiber optic cables are for new connections and this condition is temporary. There are no concerns with electrical conduits.
- The fluorescent lighting hung with rigid conduits is judged acceptable. There are no ceiling tiles in the communication room.
- There are no ceiling tiles in the AB SUPS area.
- The two-masonry walls (North and West Walls) have steel angle restraints at the ceiling intersections. Per discussion with Waterford 3 site representative during the walkdown, the masonry walls are reinforced block wall. Therefore, there is no seismic II/I concerns.
Housekeeping:
Issues:
- Area needs to be cleaned up and organized - Housekeeping type activities. (Housekeeping issues have been resolved)
- There is an unanchored storage cabinet near the radio cabinet.
- There is a metal desk on wheels and chair on wheels next to the PABX rack. The chair has a bicycle cable with lock tied to the fiber optic channel equipment rack.
- There is a six-foot ladder leaning against the wall next to the plant paging system rack. No ladder storage hook or tie-down observed in the area. (Ladder has been removed from room)
There are no seismic concerns for the RAB since the structure is designed seismic category I.
to W3F1-2013-0010 Page 8 of 27 Flood Protection ACCEPTABLE:
Computer Equipment Room RAB (+7 ft. elevation)
- There is a 10 in. nominal pipe size pipe running overhead in the back of the room above the radio cabinets. The piping is a drain line for the fire protection sprinklers and has Victaulic couplings.
The piping is dry.
- There is also a 4-inch nominal pipe size acid waste line overhead center of room. Piping is drain line for Computer Battery room located above at El. 21 ft. This line is dry.
SUPS Room RAB (+21 ft. elevation)
- Walkdown of the immediate area of the AB SUPS located one overhead fire sprinkler greater than 10 feet away, judged acceptable.
There are no flooding concerns for the RAB since the structure is designed seismic category I. The design basis flood level for Waterford 3 is El. +29.25 ft. and the RAB is protected from external flooding to EL. +30 ft. flood elevation. Site grade is approximately at +17.5 ft. elevation.
High Winds Protection ACCEPTABLE:
The Computer Equipment Room is located inside the safety-related RAB at El. +7 ft.
The SUPS area is located inside the safety-related RAB at El. +21 ft. There are no high winds concerns since the structure is designed seismic category I.
4.12.2 Technical Support Center (TSC)
Location and General
Description:
The TSC is located on the +46.0 ft. elevation in the RAB. It is contained entirely within the Control Room emergency ventilation system envelope but separate from the Control Room. Fixture installations within the various areas of the TSC prevent the TSC from being seismic Category I qualified. The size of the TSC provides sufficient storage space and access to data displays, plant records and historical data. The TSC has facilities to support the plant management and technical personnel who are assigned there during an emergency and is the primary onsite communications center for the plant during the emergency.
In addition, the TSC is used to provide technical support during the recovery operations following an emergency. The TSC acts as a complete and up-to-date repository of plant records and procedures and is at the disposal of TSC personnel to aid in their technical analysis and evaluation of emergency conditions.
The TSC structure provides reasonable assurance that the EP Communications Equipment is protected during a seismic event, as defined in NEI 12-01.
