Koehl, STPNOC, "South Texas Project,Units 1 and 2 -Request for Additional Information Regarding FukushimaLessons Learned -Flooding Hazard Reanalysis Report ", January 14, 2014(ML13358A065)On March 12, 2012 (Reference 1), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff issueda letter requesting additional information per Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations,Section 50.54(f) (hereafter called the 50.54(f) letter). The 50.54(f) letter requested that licenseesreevaluate the flooding hazards at their sites against present-day regulatory guidance andmethodologies. STPNOC submitted the requested Flood Hazard Reevaluation Report to theNRC on March 11, 2013 (Reference 2)STI: 33810702 NOC-AE-14003074Page 2 of 3By letter dated January 14, 2014 (Reference 3), the NRC requested additional information (RAI)related to the flooding reevaluations. Per an agreement with the NRC, STPNOC will beresponding to the RAls in two parts. The first part of the STPNOC response addresses RAls 1,2, 7, 8 and 9. The second part of the STPNOC response will address RAls 3, 4, 5 and 6 and willbe submitted by February 13, 2014.The requested information for RAls 1, 2, 7, 8 and 9 is included in the attachment and enclosuressubmitted along with this letterThere are no commitments in this letter.If there are any questions regarding.this letter, please contact Ken Taplett at (361) 972-8416 orme at (361) 972-7566.I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.Executed on .J, 2-. zd'/VG.T.

1NOC-AE-14003074Page 2 of 3RAI 5: Failure of Dams and Onsite Water Control/Storage StructuresPlease provide details of the ineffective flow areas and levees that were removed from the HalffAssociates, Inc. HEC-RAS model while developing the HEC-RAS model used to reevaluate theflood hazard from upstream dam failures at the South Texas Project (STP), Units 1 and 2 site. Also,please provide a justification for removal of these features.STPNOC Response:The requested information will be provided by February 13, 2014 as part of the second partial RAIresponse.RAI 6: Failure of Dams and Onsite Water Control/Storage StructuresPlease provide details of the intra-basin flows that were allowed to occur in the HEC-RAS model.Also, because allowing intra-basin flows would reduce the discharge at STP, Units 1 and 2 site, thelicensee is requested to provide a justification how the flood hazard from upstream dam failureswould still be conservative.STPNOC Response:The requested information will be provided by February 13, 2014 as part of the second partial RAIresponse.RAI 7: Failure of Dams and Onsite Water Control/Storage StructuresPlease provide electronic versions of the input files used for HEC-RAS analysis in the FHRR relatedto upstream dam failures.STPNOC Response:The requested information is provided in the enclosed digital media (Disc 1)RAI 8: Failure of Dams and Onsite Water Control/Storage StructuresPlease provide the electronic version of National Weather Service (NWS) BREACH model input filesused in the recent Main Cooling Reservoir (MCR) breach analyses of the three postulated breachlocations described in FHRR Section 2.3.STPNOC Response:The requested information is provided in the enclosed digital media (Disc 1).Note: As described in the FHRR (Reference 2) there were no BREACH model simulationsperformed for the Unit I and 2 flood analysis. Rather, the output hydrograph of the BREACH modelthat had been developed for the Units 3 and 4 analyses was used. Also note that the samehydrograph was used for all three breach locations.

Also, Please provide the RMA2 input files, including the computationalgrids, used for the three simulations.STPNOC Response:The requested information is provided in the enclosed digital media (Disc 1).Note: A separate input and grid file is provided for the Unit I BREACH model, the Unit 2 BREACHmodel, and the Office BREACH model.
