Attachment to W3F1-2015-0067 Page 3 of 16 6 Open Items from Overall Integ rated Plan and Interim Staff Evaluation The following table provides a summary and status of any open items documented in the overall integrated plan and any open items or confirmatory items documented in the Interim Staff Evaluation (ISE). A fourth table includes a listing of Audit Questions and the status of each item. A fifth table includes the FLEX-related NRC Audit Visit Open Items, which includes open items on previously issued Audit Questions that were not closed during the July 2015 NRC Audit Visit and their status. Note that during the July 2015 NRC Audit Visit, the NRC utilized a spreadsheet entitled Waterford SE Item Tracker to maintain a status of Open Items associated with development of the NRC's Safety Evaluation. The SE Tracker numbered each item with an Audit Item No. based on the category of the Open Item. The categories were: A. ISE Open and Confirmatory Items (Audit Item OI-xxxxx or CI-xxxxx)
B. Audit Questions (Audit Item AQ. X)
C. Licensee OIP Open Items (Audit Item OIP. X)
D. SFP Instrumentation RAIs (Audit Item SFP. X)
E. Combined SE Template Technical Review Gaps (Audit Item SE. X) In the Status columns of the following tables, the phrase "This item was closed during [following] the July 2015 NRC Audit Visit" indicates that the item was closed during or following the NRC Audit and is considered closed Overall Integrated Plan Open Item Status OI1. The suction path from the TDEFWP to the WCTs would be through a non-running ACCWS pump post-ELAP. It is expected that both the TDEFWP and the currently sized EFW FLEX pump (primary strategy) will have sufficient capability and/or NPSH to do so. However, this will need to be confirmed more fully as the detailed design of the primary strategy for maintaining core cooling and heat removal evolves (with SGs available). This item was closed during the July 2015 NRC Audit Visit. OI2. An analysis will be needed to demonstrate that containment pressure and temperature will stay at acceptable levels
throughout the ELAP event and that no containment spray system will be required as part of FLEX. This item was closed during the July 2015 NRC Audit Visit OI3. At this stage of the conceptual design, the chemistry effects of alternate cooling source (ACS) use on secondary wetted components are unknown. This item was closed during the July 2015 NRC Audit Visit. OI4. It is currently unclear how long gravity feed from the SITs can be maintained during Modes 5 and 6 in Phase 1. The ability to gravity feed depends upon SIT fluid height/backpressure, line losses through the gravity flow path, and developed pressure within the RCS. If this time is sufficiently short, Waterford 3 may choose to pre-stage requisite FLEX equipment in Modes 5 This item was closed during the July 2015 NRC Audit Visit Attachment to W3F1-2015-0067 Page 4 of 16 Overall Integrated Plan Open Item Status and 6. OI5. It is expected that only the component cooling water system and dry cooling towers will need to be made operational to reject the heat load generated post-ELAP in Phase 3. However, this must be investigated more fully to confirm such. Notably, only 60% of the dry cooling tower fan motors are currently missile protected and none of the wet cooling tower (WCT) fan motors are missile protected. If more than 60% of dry cooling tower (DCT) capacity is needed to support Phase 3, DCT and/or WCT fan motors may need to be missile protected. Currently available information follows: The DCT one train heat removal in an accident would be 113.38 Mbtu/hr. Given that 60% of the DCT is missile protected, it's assumed that that 40% of the heat removal capability is lost. 38 hours4.398148e-4 days <br />0.0106 hours <br />6.283069e-5 weeks <br />1.4459e-5 months <br /> after shutdown, decay heat is less than 68 Mbtu/hr (ANS 79 decay heat curve) and less than the heat removal capacity of the DCTs. As the event proceeds, the required heat removal will decrease. Until this point in the event, Phase 1 and 2 FLEX strategies will be capable of removing decay heat. Final system operating details for the CCW and DCT (i.e., number of pumps and fans to operate) still need to be determined. This item was closed during the July 2015 NRC Audit Visit.
Interim Staff Evaluation Open Items Status 3.1.3.A Wind Hazard Screening - The licensee's response fails to consider the warning time offered by a hurricane storm for pre-staging FLEX equipment. In addition, as described in NEI 12-06, Section 7.2.2, hurricanes can have a significant impact on local infrastructure, e.g., downed trees and flooding that should be considered in the interface with off-site resources. This item was closed during the July 2015 NRC Audit Visit. 3.2.1.1.B CENTS - Justify conformance with the limitations of the use of CENTS by providing the CENTS-calculated value of the centered one-hour moving average of the flow quality at the top of the SG tubes, which corresponds to the maximum void fraction of 0.2 in SG tubes as conditions used to define termination of single phase natural circulation, and confirming that the value is less than the limit specified in the white paper dated September 24, 2013 for use in defining the onset of reflux being. This item was closed during the July 2015 NRC Audit Visit.
Attachment to W3F1-2015-0067 Page 5 of 16 Interim Staff Evaluation Open Items Status 3.2.1.2.A RCP Seal Leakage - Justification of less than 15 gpm per RCP seal leakage in analysis. This item was closed during the July 2015 NRC Audit Visit. . 3.2.1.2.B RCP generic seal question regarding: (1) the analysis used to determine the leakage rate, (2) cold leg subcooling, (3) leakage flow path characteristics after seal failure, (4) seal performance at high temperatures, (5) isolation of controlled bleed off lines, and (6) pressure dependent seal leakage rates. This item was closed during the July 2015 NRC Audit Visit.
3.2.1.3.ADecay Heat -Assumption 4 on page 4-13 of WCAP-17601 states that decay heat is per ANS [American Nuclear Society] 5.1-1979 + 2 sigma, or equivalent. Address the applicability of assumption 4 to Waterford.
If the ANS 5.1-1979 + 2 sigma model is used in the Waterford ELAP analysis, address the adequacy of the use of the decay heat model in terms of the plant-specific values of the following key parameters: (1) initial power level, (2) fuel enrichment, (3) fuel burnup, (4) effective full power operating days per fuel cycle, (5) number of fuel cycles, if hybrid fuels are used in the core, and (6) fuel characteristics (addressing whether they are based on the beginning of the cycle, middle of the cycle, or end of the cycle). If a different decay heat model is used, describe the specific model and address the adequacy of the model and the analytical results. This item was closed during the July 2015 NRC Audit Visit. 3.2.1.8.A Core Sub-Criticality- Regarding boron mixing, the NRC staff has not yet accepted the PWROG [Pressurized Water Reactor Owners Group] position paper on boron mixing. Therefore, additional technical justification will be needed to resolve this issue, both generically and on a plant-specific basis. This item was closed during the July 2015 NRC Audit Visit. 3.2.4.2.A Ventilation - Adequacy of ventilation in the control room to protect energized equipment throughout the entire ELAP event, especially if the ELAP is due to high temperature hazard. This item was closed during the July 2015 NRC Audit Visit. 3.2.4.2.B Ventilation- Effects of elevated temperatures in the battery room, especially if the ELAP is due to a high temperature hazard. This item was statused as Open during the July 2015 NRC Audit Visit.

Open In progress, expected completion date is September 2015 SE 26 During the site audit walkdown, the NRC staff noticed that the SFPI cable conduits at EL. 21' of the RAB were installed side by side, 5" apart, for approximately 20'. This conduit installation does not meet the NRC Order EA-12-051, which requires The spent fuel pool level instrument channels shall
be arranged in a manner
that provides reasonable protection of the level indication function against missiles that may result from damage to the
structure over the spent fuel pool. This protection may be provided by locating the instruments to
maintain instrument channel separation within the spent fuel pool area, and to utilize inherent shielding from missiles provided by existing recesses and corners in the spent fuel pool structure. Open In progress, expected completion date is September 2015 SE 27 The licensee plans to use a single installed suction source and connection point for the FLEX Core
Cooling pump and the CCW makeup pumps (used for spent fuel pool Open In progress, expected completion date is September 2015 Attachment to W3F1-2015-0067 Page 15 of 16 July 2015 NRC Audit Visit FLEX-Related Open Items Audit Item Reference Item Description Licensee Input Needed or NRC Action to Close Status cooling). The staff considers this an
alternative to NEI 12-06 Section 3.2.2. Specifically, Table D-1 provides guidance on primary and alternate connections and states that injection points are, "required to inject through separate divisions/trains, i.e., should not have both connections in one division/train. "While the licensee has multiple injection paths for core cooling downstream of the FLEX manifold, all cooling water delivery paths must be routed through the single WCT outlet and connection point.
Therefore, both the primary and alternate methods
share a common connection.
