(402) 825-3817 /Fax: (402) 825-5217 www.nppd.com NLS2017055 Page 2 of2 On June 6, 2013, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Order EA-13-109 (Reference
: 1) to Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD). Reference 1 was immediately effective and directs NPPD to take certain actions to ensure that Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS) has a Hardened Containment Vent System to remove decay heat from the containment, and maintain control of containment pressure within acceptable limits following events that result in loss of active containment heat removal capability while maintaining the capability to operate under severe accident conditions resulting from an Extended Loss of AC Power. Specific requirements are outlined in Attachment 2 of Reference
: 1. Reference 1 required submission of a Phase 1 overall integrated plan (OIP) pursuant to Section IV, Condition D, and status reports at six-month intervals thereafter.
NPPD submitted an initial OIP for CNS by letter dated June 30, 2014 (Reference 2), Revision 1 to the OIP by letter dated December 19, 2014 (Reference 3), and Revision 2 which provided a combined Phase 1 and Phase 2 OIP (Reference 4). In Reference 5, NPPD reported that CNS had completed implementation of Phase 1 Order requirements.
The purpose ofthis letter is to provide the sixth six-month update pursuant to Section IV, Condition D.3, of Reference
: 1. This letter contains no new regulatory commitments.
Should you have any questions concerning the content of this letter, please contact Jim Shaw, Licensing Manager, at (402) 825-2788.

Nebraska Public Power District's Sixth Six-Month Status Report for the Implementation of Order EA-13-109, "Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Reliable Hardened Containment Vents Capable of Operation Under Severe Accident Conditions" cc: Regional Administrator, w/attachment USNRC -Region IV Senior Resident Inspector, w/attachment USNRC-CNS Director, w/attachment NPG Distribution, w/o attachment USNRC -Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Cooper Project Manager, w/attachment USNRC -NRR Plant Licensing Branch IV CNS Records, w/attachment NLS2017055 Attachment Page 1of6 Attachment Nebraska Public Power District's Sixth Six-Month Status Report for the Implementation of Order EA-13-109, "Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Reliable Hardened Containment Vents Capable of Operation Under Severe Accident Conditions" Introduction Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) developed an Overall Integrated Plan (OIP) for Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS) (Reference 1 ), documenting the installation of a Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) that provides a reliable hardened venting capability for pre-core damage and under severe accident conditions, including those involving a breach of the reactor vessel by molten core debris, in response to Reference
: 2. Updates of milestone accomplishments are based on the combined Phase 1 and 2 OIP (Reference 4). NPPD developed Reference 4 in accordance with the guidance contained in Reference 3, documenting:
: 1. The installation of a HCVS that provides a reliable hardened venting capability for core damage and under severe accident conditions, including those involving a breach of the reactor vessel by molten core debris, in response to Reference
: 2. 2. An alternative venting strategy that makes it unlikely that a drywell vent is needed to protect the containment from overpressure related failure under severe accident conditions, including those that involve a breach of the reactor vessel by molten core debris, in response to Reference
: 2. This attachment provides an update of milestone accomplishments since submittal of the December 2016 status report (Reference
: 8) including any changes to the compliance method, schedule, or need for relief/relaxation and the basis, if any. Milestone Accomplishments There has been no change in Phase 2 milestone status since the last status update. Milestone Schedule Status The following tables provide an update to Attachment 2 of Reference
: 4. They provide the activity status of each item, and whether the expected completion date has changed. The dates are planning dates subject to change as design and implementation details are developed.

NLS2017055 Attachment Page 3of6 Changes to Compliance Method There are no changes to the compliance method as documented in the combined Phase 1 and 2 OIP. Need for Relief/Relaxation and Basis for the Relief/Relaxation NPPD completed implementation of Phase 1 Order requirements prior to CNS entering Mode 2 (Startup) on November 6, 2016. NPPD expects to comply with the Phase 2 Order implementation date and no relieflrelaxation is required at this time. Open Items from Combined Phase 1 and 2 Overall Integrated Plan and Interim Staff Evaluation The following tables provide a summary of the open items documented in the combined Phase 1 and 2 OIP, the Interim Staff Evaluations (ISE) for Phase 1 and Phase 2 (References 5 and 7), and the status of each item.

Per CNS' Final Integrated Plan for Order EA-12-049, the following environmental conditions exist:
* Snow, ice, and extreme cold (minus 5 degrees Fahrenheit)
* Extreme heat (97 degrees Fahrenheit)
The severe accident water management (SA WM) pump that will be used to provide make-up water for NLS2017055 Attachment Page 5of6 ISE Open Item# Action I ISE Section Reference Status HCVS Phase 2 actions is rated for 925 gpm and 3 78 feet of discharge head. As such, the pump's maximum discharge pressure is approximately 165 psig. The selected flow meter is normally supplied with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) piping; however, for this application, CNS will use chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) piping. CPCV material (4-inch diameter, schedule 80) has a pressure rating of approximately 320 psig. However, this pressure rating is reduced when accounting for elevated temperatures.
An operating temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit has a derating factor of 0.82. Therefore, the selected CPVC material has a pressure rating of approximately 260 psig which exceeds the maximum discharge pressure of the SA WM pump. The selected flow meter has a listed operating ambient temperature range of 0-150 degrees Fahrenheit, although the vendor confirmed that the meter will function and provide accurate readings at the required minus 5 degrees Fahrenheit.
Additionally, the selected flow meter is listed for applications such as lake or river water, potable water, ionized water, etc. These types of fluids meet the applications that CNS may be pumping through the flow meter.
