This attachment provides an update of milestoneaccomplishments and open items since submittal of the last status report (Reference 13),including any changes to the compliance method, schedule, or need for relief/relaxation andthe basis, if any.2 Milestone AccomplishmentsThe following milestones have been completed since the development of the OIP, and arecurrent as of July 31, 2014.* Submit Integrated Plan" Develop Strategies* Develop Modifications* Develop Training Plan" Purchase Equipment" Receive Equipment" Create Maintenance Procedures3 Milestone Schedule StatusThe following table provides an update to Attachment 2A of the OIP. The table provides theactivity status of each item, and whether the expected completion date has changed. Thedates are planning dates subject to change as design and implementation details aredeveloped.The revised milestone and associated target completion dates for 'Implement Modifications'do not impact the Order implementation dates for North Anna Units 1 and 2, but accuratelyreflect that the Unit 2 modifications will be implemented at the end of the upcoming refuelingoutage.Target Activity Revised TargetMilestone CompletionDate Status Completion DateSubmit Integrated Plan February 2013 CompleteDevelop Strategies October 2013 CompleteDevelop Modifications July 2014 Complete Serial No. 14-394Docket Nos. 50-338/339Order EA-1 2-049Page 2 of 31Target Activity Revised TargetMilestone Completion Status Completion DateDateImplement Modifications* April 2015* StartedDevelop Training Plan April 2014 CompleteImplement Training September 2014 StartedIssue FLEX Support Guidelines and September 2014 StartedAssociated Procedure RevisionsDevelop Strategies/Contract withNational SAFER Response Center August 2014 Started(NSRC)Purchase Equipment February 2014 CompleteReceive Equipment August 2014 CompleteValidation Walk-throughs orDemonstrations of FLEX Strategies August 2014 Started September 2014*and ProceduresCreate Maintenance Procedures* August 2014 CompleteUnit 1 Outage Implementation April 2015 StartedUnit 2 Outage Implementation October 2014 Started* Refer to Section 8, Supplemental Information, for an explanation of the change to thisMilestone.4 Changes to Compliance MethodBy letter dated February 28, 2013, Dominion provided an OIP to address Beyond-Design-Basis (BDB) events at NAPS Units 1 and 2 as required by Order Number EA-12-049, datedMarch 12, 2012. The first and second Six-Month Status Report of the OIP for NAPS wereprovided by letters dated August 23, 2013 (Reference 11) and February 28, 2014 (Reference13), respectively. The following are changes to the compliance method information provided inthe NAPS OIP and subsequent updates, which continues to meet NEI 12-06 (Reference 3):a) Dominion no longer plans to pre-stage the 120/240 VAC DGs in the Unit 1 and Unit 2alleyways. The deployment strategy for the portable 120/240VAC diesel generators (DGs)used to re-power the vital bus circuits has been changed back to the original electrical re-powering strategy, described in Section F1.2 -PWR Portable Equipment Phase 2 of theOIP submitted on February 28, 2013 (Reference 1) with the exception that the DGs aresized for a single generator per unit. | |||
Serial No. 14-394Docket Nos. 50-338/339Order EA-12-049Page 3 of 31b) Regarding the previously reported strategy for Modes 5 & 6, credit was taken for theRefueling Water Storage Tanks (RWSTs) to provide a borated water source for injectioninto the RCS. Although the RWSTs are not missile protected, credit as a borated watersource was based on the assumption that it was improbable that both tanks would bedestroyed by a single tornado. Subsequently, the strategy has been enhanced to addressthe scenario that both RWSTs are unavailable. The revised strategy includes the provisionto utilize clean water sources onsite (which are protected from a tornado), if both RWSTsare unavailable. If a clean water source is used, flow must be controlled in order to matchthe rate of water loss (due to boiling) so that dilution of the boron concentration in the RCSdoes not occur.c) Based on a study that included a chemical analysis of the various water sources onsite, thepreferred order of clean water sources for use in both the primary and secondary sides ofthe Nuclear Steam Supply System (NSSS) was revised.d) Dominion is pursuing an alternate means of compliance to NEI 12-06, Section 3.2.2,regarding additional "spare" cables and hoses. Typically, the hoses utilized to implement aFLEX strategy are not a single continuous hose, but are composed of individual sections ofa smaller length joined together to form a sufficient length. In the case of cables, multipleindividual lengths of cable are used to construct a circuit.Hoses and cables are passive devices, which are unlikely to fail provided they areappropriately inspected and maintained. The most likely cause of failure is mechanicaldamage during handling provided that the hoses and cables are stored in areas withsuitable environmental conditions. The hoses and cables for the FLEX strategies will bestored and maintained in accordance with manufacturers' recommendations including anyshelf life requirements. Initial inspections and periodic inspections or testing/replacementwill be incorporated into the site's maintenance and testing program and implemented inaccordance with Section 11.5 of NEI 12-06.The industry has proposed for NRC Staff consideration alternate methods of compliance tothe N+1 requirement applicable to hoses and cables, as stated in Section 3.2.2 of NEI 12-06. Dominion supports this industry proposal and has adopted the agreed upon method forhoses in that 10% of the total length and at least one of the longest single lengths for eachhose size has been purchased. With regard to cables, the 120/240VAC generators and the480VAC generators are backups to each other, therefore, only N sets of cables arerequired. Therefore, once NRC endorsement of this alternate approach is complete,Dominion will have achieved alternate compliance with the NEI 12-06 N+1 requirement forhoses.e) The structural integrity of the reactor Containment building will not be challenged due toincreasing Containment pressure during a BDB Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP) event.Additionally, analysis has shown that any increase in temperature following an ELAP eventdoes not challenge the key parameter instrumentation in the Containment for at least 7days. | |||
Serial No. 14-394Docket Nos. 50-338/339Order EA-12-049Page 4 of 31Multiple Containment cooling methods described in previous submittals are available asoptions for heat removal to maintain Containment temperature for equipment design limits.However, they are not required to be specifically designated as primary and alternatestrategies. Adequate time is available utilizing equipment from the NSRC to deploy thecooling methods described.f) The BDB and NSRC equipment details in OIP Table 1, PWR Portable Equipment Phase 2,and OIP Table 2, PWR Portable Equipment Phase 3, respectively, have changed. Updatesto the 'List Portable Equipment' and 'Performance Criteria' are included as well asassociated changes/deletions in footnotes. Changes to the number of components havebeen included for some of the support equipment categories, but no changes have beenmade to the quantities of any of the major FLEX components. Revised OIP Tables 1 and 2are attached.5 Need for Relief/Relaxation and Basis for the RelieflRelaxationDominion expects to comply with the order implementation date and no relief/relaxation isrequired at this time.6 Open ItemsThe NRC has established an audit process to allow the exchange of information between thelicensees and the NRC Staff (Reference 19). Between May 19, 2014 and May 22, 2014, NorthAnna Units 1 and 2 were the subject of an NRC onsite audit where the site specific aspects ofDominion's proposed FLEX Mitigating Strategies were reviewed. During this NRC onsite audit,the staff reviewed site specific documentation and upon completion of the audit, indicated thatfurther review of several items was not anticipated as Dominion proceeds towards compliancefor Orders EA-12-049 and EA-12-051. These items are identified in the following tables inSection 6. Note that the tables provided in Sections 6.4 and 6.5 are new and are the result ofthe ongoing audit process. | |||

The format of the Final Integrated Plan isconsistent with the Safety Evaluation Template provided with the July 1, 2014 Jack Davismemorandum (ML14161A643)(Reference 15).8 Supplemental InformationThis supplemental information provides details of the changes identified in the status updatesabove and addresses a) Open Item 14, b) the Milestone Task 'Implement Modifications,' c) theMilestone Task 'Validation Walk-throughs or Demonstrations of FLEX Strategies andProcedures' and d) the Milestone Task 'Create Maintenance Procedures' as follows:a) NAPS, Open Item 14: The revision to the status wording more accurately reflects thestatus for each North Anna Unit. The split completion schedule reflects the currentoutage schedules.b) NAPS, Milestone Task 'Implement Modifications': The revision separates Units 1and 2 to more accurately reflect the actual tasks as they will occur for each NAPS Unit.The updated completion schedules accurately reflect the current outage schedules.The revised Milestone Tasks and Completion Schedules are as follows:Milestone Task: Implement Unit 1 ModificationsCompletion Schedule: April 2015Milestone Task: Implement Unit 2 ModificationsCompletion Schedule: October 2014c) NAPS, Milestone Task 'Validation Walk-throuqhs or Demonstrations of FLEXStrategies and Procedures': The revision to the scheduled milestone targetcompletion date is needed to allow for completion of the walk-throughs, which are inprogress.d) NAPS, Milestone Task 'Create Maintenance Procedures': The Milestone is to berestated as 'Develop Maintenance Strategies." This change is to revise the currentmilestone to reflect the intended activity which was to develop the maintenancestrategies based on industry and vendor supplied information. As per the responseprovided above for Open Item 8, the restated task has been completed. The designchange implementing the FLEX Mitigating Strategies Program identifies themaintenance strategies required for the FLEX implementation and requires that PeriodicMaintenance (PM) procedures be developed. Submittal of requests for creation ofthese PMs is in accordance with the Design Control Program and will be tracked. ThePMs will be prioritized such that the near-term requirements, (e.g., 30 day walkdowninspections) are in-place prior to FLEX Mitigating Strategy implementation date. The Serial No. 14-394Docket Nos. 50-338/339Order EA-12-049Page 23 of 31PMs for the longer term requirements will be implemented prior to their firstperformance interval.9 ReferencesThe following references support the updates to the OIP described in this attachment and areavailable in ADAMS or have been provided to the staff for their review.1.

The first and second Six-Month Status Report of the OIP for NAPS wereprovided by letters dated August 23, 2013 (Reference 11) and February 28, 2014 (Reference13), respectively. The following are changes to the compliance method information provided inthe NAPS OIP and subsequent updates, which continues to meet NEI 12-06 (Reference 3):a) Dominion no longer plans to pre-stage the 120/240 VAC DGs in the Unit 1 and Unit 2alleyways. The deployment strategy for the portable 120/240VAC diesel generators (DGs)used to re-power the vital bus circuits has been changed back to the original electrical re-powering strategy, described in Section F1.2 -PWR Portable Equipment Phase 2 of theOIP submitted on February 28, 2013 (Reference 1) with the exception that the DGs aresized for a single generator per unit.
Serial No. 14-394Docket Nos. 50-338/339Order EA-12-049Page 3 of 31b) Regarding the previously reported strategy for Modes 5 & 6, credit was taken for theRefueling Water Storage Tanks (RWSTs) to provide a borated water source for injectioninto the RCS. Although the RWSTs are not missile protected, credit as a borated watersource was based on the assumption that it was improbable that both tanks would bedestroyed by a single tornado. Subsequently, the strategy has been enhanced to addressthe scenario that both RWSTs are unavailable. The revised strategy includes the provisionto utilize clean water sources onsite (which are protected from a tornado), if both RWSTsare unavailable. If a clean water source is used, flow must be controlled in order to matchthe rate of water loss (due to boiling) so that dilution of the boron concentration in the RCSdoes not occur.c) Based on a study that included a chemical analysis of the various water sources onsite, thepreferred order of clean water sources for use in both the primary and secondary sides ofthe Nuclear Steam Supply System (NSSS) was revised.d) Dominion is pursuing an alternate means of compliance to NEI 12-06, Section 3.2.2,regarding additional "spare" cables and hoses. Typically, the hoses utilized to implement aFLEX strategy are not a single continuous hose, but are composed of individual sections ofa smaller length joined together to form a sufficient length. In the case of cables, multipleindividual lengths of cable are used to construct a circuit.Hoses and cables are passive devices, which are unlikely to fail provided they areappropriately inspected and maintained. The most likely cause of failure is mechanicaldamage during handling provided that the hoses and cables are stored in areas withsuitable environmental conditions. The hoses and cables for the FLEX strategies will bestored and maintained in accordance with manufacturers' recommendations including anyshelf life requirements. Initial inspections and periodic inspections or testing/replacementwill be incorporated into the site's maintenance and testing program and implemented inaccordance with Section 11.5 of NEI 12-06.The industry has proposed for NRC Staff consideration alternate methods of compliance tothe N+1 requirement applicable to hoses and cables, as stated in Section 3.2.2 of NEI 12-06. Dominion supports this industry proposal and has adopted the agreed upon method forhoses in that 10% of the total length and at least one of the longest single lengths for eachhose size has been purchased. With regard to cables, the 120/240VAC generators and the480VAC generators are backups to each other, therefore, only N sets of cables arerequired. Therefore, once NRC endorsement of this alternate approach is complete,Dominion will have achieved alternate compliance with the NEI 12-06 N+1 requirement forhoses.e) The structural integrity of the reactor Containment building will not be challenged due toincreasing Containment pressure during a BDB Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP) event.Additionally, analysis has shown that any increase in temperature following an ELAP eventdoes not challenge the key parameter instrumentation in the Containment for at least 7days.
Serial No. 14-394Docket Nos. 50-338/339Order EA-12-049Page 4 of 31Multiple Containment cooling methods described in previous submittals are available asoptions for heat removal to maintain Containment temperature for equipment design limits.However, they are not required to be specifically designated as primary and alternatestrategies. Adequate time is available utilizing equipment from the NSRC to deploy thecooling methods described.f) The BDB and NSRC equipment details in OIP Table 1, PWR Portable Equipment Phase 2,and OIP Table 2, PWR Portable Equipment Phase 3, respectively, have changed. Updatesto the 'List Portable Equipment' and 'Performance Criteria' are included as well asassociated changes/deletions in footnotes. Changes to the number of components havebeen included for some of the support equipment categories, but no changes have beenmade to the quantities of any of the major FLEX components. Revised OIP Tables 1 and 2are attached.5 Need for Relief/Relaxation and Basis for the RelieflRelaxationDominion expects to comply with the order implementation date and no relief/relaxation isrequired at this time.6 Open ItemsThe NRC has established an audit process to allow the exchange of information between thelicensees and the NRC Staff (Reference 19). Between May 19, 2014 and May 22, 2014, NorthAnna Units 1 and 2 were the subject of an NRC onsite audit where the site specific aspects ofDominion's proposed FLEX Mitigating Strategies were reviewed. During this NRC onsite audit,the staff reviewed site specific documentation and upon completion of the audit, indicated thatfurther review of several items was not anticipated as Dominion proceeds towards compliancefor Orders EA-12-049 and EA-12-051. These items are identified in the following tables inSection 6. Note that the tables provided in Sections 6.4 and 6.5 are new and are the result ofthe ongoing audit process.

Dominion proceedstowards compliancefor Orders EA-12-049and EA-12-051.(Reference 27)Safety 1. (RCS Venting) The generic analysis in WCAP-17601-P During the May 2014Evaluation strictly addressed ELAP coping time without consideration of NRC Onsite Audit, theReview the actions directed by a site's mitigating strategies. WCAP- NRC Staff indicatedItem #3 17792-P extends these analytical results through explicit that further review ofconsideration of mitigating strategies involving RCS makeup this item was notand boration. In support of the RCS makeup and boration anticipated asstrategies proposed therein, a generic recommendation is Dominion proceedsmade that PWRs vent the RCS while makeup is being towards complianceprovided. Please provide the following information in regard to for Orders EA-12-049this topic: a. Will the mitigating strategy include venting of the and EA-12-051.RCS? b. If so, please provide the following information: i. The (References 21 and 28)vent path to be used and the means for its opening andclosure. ii. The criteria for opening the vent path. iii. Thecriteria for closing the vent path. iv. Clarification as to whetherthe vent path could experience two-phase or single-phaseliquid flow during an ELAP. If two-phase or liquid flow is apossibility, please clarify whether the vent path is designed toensure isolation capability after relieving two-phase or liquidflow. If relief of two-phase or liquid flow is to be avoided,please discuss the availability of instrumentation or othermeans that would ensure that the vent path is isolated prior to Serial No. 14-394Docket Nos. 50-338/339Order EA-12-049Page 19 of 31departing from single-phase steam flow. vi. If a pressurizerPORV is to be used for RCS venting, please clarify whetherthe associated block valve would be available (or the timelineby which it could be repowered) in the case that the PORVwere to stick open. If applicable, please further explain whyopening the pressurizer PORV is justified under ELAPconditions if the associated block valve would not be available.vii. If a pressurizer PORV is to be used for RCS venting,please clarify whether FLEX RCS makeup pumps and FLEXsteam generator makeup pumps will both be available prior toopening the PORV. If they will not both be available, pleaseprovide justification. c. If RCS venting will not be used, pleaseprovide the following information: i. The expected RCStemperature and pressure after the necessary quantity ofborated makeup has been added to an unvented RCS. ii.Adequate justification that the potential impacts of unventedmakeup will not adversely affect the proposed mitigatingstrategy (e.g., FLEX pump discharge pressures will not bechallenged, plant will not reach water solid condition, adequateboric acid can be injected, increased RCS leakage will notadversely affect the integrated plan timeline, etc.).SafetyEvaluationReviewItem #42. (Westinghouse Standard RCP Seals: NSAL-14-1) OnFebruary 10, 2014, Westinghouse issued Nuclear SafetyAdvisory Letter (NSAL)-14-1, which informed licensees ofplants with standard Westinghouse RCP seals that 21 gpmmay not be a conservative leakage rate for ELAP analysis.This value had been previously used in the ELAP analysisreferenced by many Westinghouse PWRs, including thegeneric reference analysis in WCAP-17601-P. Therefore,please clarify whether the assumption of 21 gpm of sealleakage per RCP (at 550 degrees F, 2250 psia) remains validin light of the issues identified in NSAL-14-1. In so doing,please identify the specifics of the seal leak off line design and#1 seal faceplate material relative to the categories in NSAL-14-1 and identify the corresponding presumed leakage ratefrom NSAL-14-1 that is deemed applicable.This SE Review Item isbeing addressed throughthe ongoing NRC auditprocess.(Reference 19)

The format of the Final Integrated Plan isconsistent with the Safety Evaluation Template provided with the July 1, 2014 Jack Davismemorandum (ML14161A643)(Reference 15).8 Supplemental InformationThis supplemental information provides details of the changes identified in the status updatesabove and addresses a) Open Item 14, b) the Milestone Task 'Implement Modifications,' c) theMilestone Task 'Validation Walk-throughs or Demonstrations of FLEX Strategies andProcedures' and d) the Milestone Task 'Create Maintenance Procedures' as follows:a) NAPS, Open Item 14: The revision to the status wording more accurately reflects thestatus for each North Anna Unit. The split completion schedule reflects the currentoutage schedules.b) NAPS, Milestone Task 'Implement Modifications': The revision separates Units 1and 2 to more accurately reflect the actual tasks as they will occur for each NAPS Unit.The updated completion schedules accurately reflect the current outage schedules.The revised Milestone Tasks and Completion Schedules are as follows:Milestone Task: Implement Unit 1 ModificationsCompletion Schedule: April 2015Milestone Task: Implement Unit 2 ModificationsCompletion Schedule: October 2014c) NAPS, Milestone Task 'Validation Walk-throuqhs or Demonstrations of FLEXStrategies and Procedures': The revision to the scheduled milestone targetcompletion date is needed to allow for completion of the walk-throughs, which are inprogress.d) NAPS, Milestone Task 'Create Maintenance Procedures': The Milestone is to berestated as 'Develop Maintenance Strategies." This change is to revise the currentmilestone to reflect the intended activity which was to develop the maintenancestrategies based on industry and vendor supplied information. As per the responseprovided above for Open Item 8, the restated task has been completed. The designchange implementing the FLEX Mitigating Strategies Program identifies themaintenance strategies required for the FLEX implementation and requires that PeriodicMaintenance (PM) procedures be developed. Submittal of requests for creation ofthese PMs is in accordance with the Design Control Program and will be tracked. ThePMs will be prioritized such that the near-term requirements, (e.g., 30 day walkdowninspections) are in-place prior to FLEX Mitigating Strategy implementation date. The Serial No. 14-394Docket Nos. 50-338/339Order EA-12-049Page 23 of 31PMs for the longer term requirements will be implemented prior to their firstperformance interval.9 ReferencesThe following references support the updates to the OIP described in this attachment and areavailable in ADAMS or have been provided to the staff for their review.1.
