U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 2 January 27, 2009 provides BFN's request for Exemption from 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, Paragraph III.G.2. Enclosure 2 is TVA Calculation, Appendix R 1I1.G.2 Manual Action Feasibility Evaluation. This calculation, performed using guidance from NUREG 1852, Demonstrating the Feasibility and reliability of Operator manual Actions in Response to Fire, is BFN's basis for the Browns Ferry Plant Exemption Request. The calculation contains bases for the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant (BFN) Exemption Request for Appendix R III.G.2 Areas Operator Manual Actions (OMA). Attachment number 1 to the calculation is the List of Time Critical Operator Manual Actions, and Attachment number 2 is the Verification and Validation of Appendix R Manual Actions.
TVA has found that the OMAs listed in the exemption are feasible. NRC has previously reviewed the actions and found them acceptable for use in achieving post-fire safe shutdown. Hence, the special circumstances for the issuance of an exemption are satisfied in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(ii) and RIS 2006-10. The application of the rule is not necessary to achieve the underlying purpose of the rule, that is; achieve safe shutdown in the event of a fire. The exemption request is authorized by law and is consistent with the common defense and security. Therefore, the requirements of 10 CFR 50.12 (a)(1) are satisfied.
There are no new regulatory commitments contained within this request. If you have any questions about this request, please telephone me at (256) 729-2636.
I Declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and Correct. Executed on this 27th day of January 2009.

ENCLOSUREI TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT (BFN)
UNITS, 1,2 AND 3 REQUEST FOR EXEMPTION FROM 10 CFR 50 APPENDIX R, PARAGRAPH III.G.2 Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12, BFN is requesting an exemption from 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, Paragraph III.G.2, Fire Protection of Safe Shutdown Capability for BFN Units 1, 2, and 3.1 Paragraph III.G.2 of Appendix R does not list operator manual actions (OMAs) as a means of ensuring that one redundant train is free of fire damage.
Contrary to the above, Appendix R, Paragraph III.G.2 areas at BFN rely on OMAs to ensure a train is free from fire damage when the redundant train is in the same fire area.
1.0 Applicable Rule The applicable rules for this exemption request are 10 CFR 50.48 and 10 CFR 50, Appendix R. Pursuant to .10 CFR 50.48(a), each operating nuclear plant must have a plan to satisfy Criterion 3, Fire Protection, of 10 CFR 50, Appendix A. The fire protection features that BFN must meet to satisfy Criterion 3 of Appendix A are established by 10 CFR 50, Appendix R. Specifically, 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, Paragraph IIl.G.2 requires, in part, where cable or equipment, including associated non-safety circuits that could prevent operation or cause maloperation as a result of hot shorts, open circuits, or shorts to ground of redundant trains of systems necessary to achieve and maintain hot shutdown conditions are located within the same fire area outside of primary containment, shall be free of fire damage.
2.0 Requested Exemption TVA is requesting an exemption from 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, Paragraph III.G.2, Fire Protection of Safe Shutdown Capability, for BFN Units 1, 2, and 3.to the extent that OMAs are necessary to achieve and maintain hot shutdown for areas in which both trains of safe shutdown equipment are located.
3.0 Justification and Assessment of Safety Impact
Background
Regulatory Issue Summary, (RIS) 2006-10, Regulatory Expectations With Appendix R, Paragraph III.G.2 Operator Manual Actions, provides NRC's position on OMAs as part of the strategy for compliance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, Paragraph 11l.G.2. NRC requires that plants which credit OMAs for Paragraph III.G.2 compliance to obtain approval for the OMAs via the exemption request in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.12. As stated below, RIS 2006-10 addresses operator manual actions previously approved outside the exemption process.
"For pre-1979 licensees, the staff decision in a safety evaluation report that approves the use of operator manual actions, in lieu of one of the means specified in paragraph III.G.2, does not eliminate the need for an exemption. Pre-1979 licensees who have SERs but not a corresponding exemption, which approve manual actions should request an El -1
exemption under 10 CFR part 50.12, citing the special circumstances section of 50.12(a)(2)(ii), using the SER as the safety basis, and confirming that the safety bases' established in the SER remains valid. The staff expects to grant the exemption on these without further review."
Basis That The Manual Actions Are Previously Approved Browns Ferry is unique in their approach to the application of Appendix R. Browns Ferry Units 1, 2, and 3 were shutdown in 1985. As TVA restarted each unit, NRC approved the application of 10 CFR 50, Appendix R to support the operation of that unit. TVA restarted Unit 2 in 1991, Unit 3 in 1995, and Unit 1 in 2007. NRC approved the application of an Appendix R Fire Protection Program for BFN in several safety evaluations (SEs). The following provides a general timeline of the approval process:
By letter dated January 31, 1986 (Reference 1), TVA submitted the 10 CFR 50 Appendix R Fire Protection and Safe Shutdown Systems Analysis Report for Browns Ferry. Nuclear Plant.
On December 8, 1988 (Reference 2), supplemented by an October 3, 1989 (Reference 3),
letter NRC issued the Safety Evaluation (SE) for post safe-shutdown in support of Unit 2 Operation. Section 2.4.3 and Section 2.7 of the respective SEs discuss OMAs.
On January 15, 1992 (Reference 4), TVA issued the BFN Fire Protection Report for NRC review. The report established the BFN Fire Protection Plan in accordance with NRC Generic Letter (GL) 86-10, Implementation of Fire Protection Requirements, and GL 88-12, Removal of the Fire Protection Requirements from Technical Specifications. As part of the evaluation, the NRC reviewed the Fire Protection Plan and Fire Hazard Analysis. On March 31, 1993 (Reference 5), NRC issued a SE that approved the new BFN Fire Protection Report. The Safe Shutdown Analysis, which included use of OMAs and Unit 2 Appendix R Safe Shutdown Program, were previously approved in the above referenced NRC SEs.
In a December 20, 1994 letter (Reference 6), BFN provided the revised FPR for combined Unit 2 and 3 operations. By letter dated November 2, 1995 (Reference 7), NRC approval of a Fire Protection Report for Units 2 and 3 operations with Unit 1 shutdown and defueled.
Sections 3.5 and 3.5.1 of the SE summarizes the manual actions for the combined operation of Units 2 and 3. In the SE, the NRC noted that the OMAs involve the same types of actions currently performed on Unit 2. These OMAs include positioning valves, operating switches, and opening breakers. NRC also noted that the time for performing these actions for Unit 3 was consistent with those established for Unit 2.
On April 5, 2006, prior to the restart of Unit 1, TVA met with NRC to discuss the progress of the BFN Fire Protection Program and the reliance on OMAs. During this meeting, TVA discussed maintaining operational fidelity of Unit 1 with Units 2 and 3 by using the same type of OMAs that are currently approved for the Units 2 and 3 Safe Shutdown Program. The Licensing Basis for the proposed Unit 1 Fire protection plan was consistent with the current Unit 2 and 3 Fire Protection Plan. TVA Indicated the Unit 1 Appendix R Safe Shutdown Analysis did not require the addition of any new type OMAs to meet safe shutdown requirements. The OMAs needed for Unit 1 safe shutdown are similar to those approved for Units 2 and 3.
As a result of the April 5, 2006 meeting, as stated in a letter dated April 24, 2006 (Reference 8), BFN committed to perform a Fire Protection Significance Determination Process (SDP) analysis to determine the risk associated with the OMAs approved for Units 2 and 3 operation and the proposed Unit 1 OMAs., and for Units 2 and 3, correct or take E1-2
compensatory actions for those OMAs that are risk significant (greater than green). For Unit 1, correct any OMAs that are risk significant prior to Unit 1 entering mode 2 or 3.
BFN performed a risk evaluation of the fire Appendix R, Paragraph III.G.2 area OMAs using NRC Inspection Manual Chapter'609, Significance Determination Process, Appendix F, Fire Protection. The BFN risk analysis found the OMAs used for safe shutdown of Units 1, 2, and 3 to be green (not risk significant). NRC reviewed the analysis and concluded in an April 25, 2007, SE (Reference 9) that BFN has identified the post-tire safe shutdown OMAs performed outside the main control room in Paragraph III.G.2 areas for Units 1, 2, and 3 and placed them in the corrective action program. Furthermore, BFN is treating the OMAs as compensatory measures, which is consistent with RIS 2006-10. NRC found this approach acceptable until full compliance with Paragraph III.G.2 is established.
Feasibility and Dependability Review Following the guidance provided in NUREG-1852, Demonstrating the Feasibility and Reliability of Operator Manual Actions in Response to Fire, BFN performed a feasibility review of the 10 CFR Appendix R, Paragraph Ill.G.2, OMAs needed to shutdown Units 1, 2, or 3 in the event of a postulated fire. Enclosure 2 provides BFN's Appendix R III.G.2 Manual Action Feasibility Evaluation. Attachment Number 1 to the calculation is the List of Time Critical Operator Manual Actions. Attachment Number 2 is the Verification and Validation of Appendix R Manual Actions.
BFN's evaluation concludes that OMAs required for achieving and maintaining hot shutdown conditions are feasible, reliable, and not affected by environmental conditions associated with fires in Appendix R, Paragraph III.G.2 areas. In addition, the equipment needed to implement OMAs remains available and the areas remain accessible during the event. Plant demonstrations have shown that plant procedures and staffing is adequate and time margin is available to account for uncertainties that may arise during an event. The evaluation found that OMAs are feasible and reliable and using OMAs; therefore, BFN meets the underlying purpose and intent of the Appendix R, Paragraph ill.G.2 rule.
4.0 Authorized By Law NRC has issued TVA's Operating License for BFN under the provisions of Section 104.b of the Atomic Energy Act. Operating licenses issued by the Commission pursuant to Section 104.b are not limited, by stature, to specify the methods for complying with the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix R. As previously stated, 10 CFR 50.12 allows the NRC to grant exemptions from the requirements of 10 CFR 50.48 and Appendix R to 10 CFR 50. Thus, the Commission is authorized by law to exempt BFN from these requirements.
5.0 Presents No Undue Risk to Public Health and Safety The purpose of this rule is satisfied by the requested exemption since the manual actions previously described provide an equivalent level of protection as required by 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, Paragraph III.G.2. Therefore, the proposed exemption presents no undue risk to the public health and safety.
6.0 Does Not Endanger Common Defense and Security The Commission's Statement of Considerations in support of the exemption rule noted with approval the explanation of standard as set forth in Long Island Lighting Company (Shoreham Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1) LBP-84-45, 20 NRC 1343, 1400 El -3
(October 29, 1984). There, the term "common defense and security" refers principally to safeguarding of special nuclear material, the absence of foreign control over the applicant, the protection of Restricted Data, and the availability of special nuclear material for defense needs. The granting of the requested exemption will not affect any of these matters and, thus, the requested exemption is consistent with the common defense and security.
7.0 Special Circumstances are Present According to NRC regulations, special circumstances are present if any one of the six cases cited in 10 CFR 50.12 (a)(2) are present. TVA has found that special circumstances found in application of paragraphs (ii) and (iii) exist for this exemption:
(ii) "Applicationof the regulationin the particularcircumstances would not serve the underlying purpose of the rule or is not necessary to achieve the underlying purpose of the rule."
10 CFR 50, Appendix R, Paragraph III.G.2, specifies methods to ensure that one train of systems necessary to achieve and maintain safe shutdown capability remains free from fire damage. Paragraph III.G.2 does not list manual operator actions as a means of ensuring that one of the redundant trains is free of fire damage. Specifically, Paragraph III.G.2 of Appendix R requires that, where cables and equipment including associated non-safety circuits that could prevent operation of cause maloperation as a result of hot shorts, open circuits, or shorts to ground of redundant trains of systems necessary to achieve and maintain hot shutdown must be protected in accordance with Paragraph III.G.2 of Appendix R.
NRC Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2006-10, Regulatory Expectations With Appendix R Paragraph III.G.2, Operator Manual Actions, allows pre-1979 licensees, who have a staff decision in a Safety Evaluation Report that approves the use of manual operator actions, in lieu of one of the means specified in Paragraph III.G.2 should request an exemption citing special circumstances. NRC approved the use of manual actions for Browns Ferry, Units 2 and 3 in a Safety Evaluation at the time the each Unit was restarted (References 2, 3, and 5). Although not explicitly approved in a NRC Safety Evaluation, the manual operator actions put in place for Unit 1 similar to those approved on Units 2 and 3. That is, positioning valves, operating switches, and opening breakers.
In addition, two analyses performed by BFN indicate that the Paragraph III.G.2 manual operator actions for Units 1, 2, and 3 are not risk significant, are feasible, reliable and can be performed under post fire circumstances.
Therefore, the underlying purpose of the rule, to achieve safe shutdown in the event of a postulated Appendix R Fire, is met using operator manual actions. The rule continues to be satisfied by the requested exemption since the existing analyses described provide an equivalent level of safe shutdown capability as required by 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, Paragraph III.G.2.
(iii) "Compliancewould result in undue hardshipor othercosts that are significantlyin excess of those contemplated when the regulation was adopted,or that are significantly in excess of those incurredby others similarly situated."
As previously discussed, the underlying purpose of Paragraph III.G.2 is to ensure that one train of systems necessary to achieve and maintain safe shutdown capability remains free from fire damage. The underlying purpose of the rule continues to be satisfied by the use of operator manual actions. The engineering activities accompanied El -4
by plant physical modifications, procedure revisions and possible extension of planned outages, needed to implement Paragraph Ill.G.2 of Appendix R will result in a considerable expense to BFN. The cost associated with these activities places an unwarranted burden on BFN with a negligible increase in safety as compared to the alternate means of satisfying the requirements of Paragraph III.G.2 of Appendix R.
Therefore, the special circumstances exist that warrant granting an exemption to 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, Paragraph 111.G.2 as described in RIS 2006-10.
8.0 Environmental Impact TVA has reviewed the proposed exemption and determined implementation of the exemption will not effect the environment. That is there is no construction of operational activities, which could significantly affect the environment. Implementation of the exemption does not result in a significant increase in any adverse environmental impact previously evaluated, result in a significant change in effluents or power levels, or affect any matter not previously reviewed by NRC that may have a significant environmental impact.
The proposed exemption does not alter the land use for the plant, any water uses or impacts on water quality, or ambient air quality. The proposed exemption does not affect the previous analysis of environmental impacts.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM/ABSTRACT 10CFR50 Appendix R Section III.G.2 requires that, where cables or equipment of redundant trains of systems necessary to acNeve and maintain hot shutdown conditions are located In the same fire area outside of primary containment, one of the following means of ensuring that one of the redundant trains is free of fire damage shall be provided:
- 1. Separation of cables and equipment by a fire barrier having a 3-hour rating
- 2. Separation of cables and equipment by a horizontal distance of more than 20 feet with no intervening combustibles or fire hazards and with fire detection and an automatic fire suppression system In the fire area
- 3. Enclosure of cables and equipment in a fire barnTer having a 1-hour rating and with fire detection and an automatic fire suppression system In the fire area.
According to the NRC's most recent interpretation of Paragraph III.G.2 requirements In Federal Register Volume 71, Number 43 dated March 6, 2006, reliance on operator manual actions Is no longer permitted In lieu of the means above to ensure that one of the redundant safe shutdown trains In the same fire area is free of fire damage. Consistent with prior practice within the industry, BFN's Appendix R Program utilize operator manual actions for safe shutdown in Fire Areas 1, 2, 3 and 25. However, based on the interpretation by the NRC, BFN does not have an approved license exemption to allow operator manual actions for III.G.2 fire areas.
This evaluation supports the exemption request to allow the use of operator manual actions in III.G.2 fire areas to ensure safe shutdown can be achieved during an Appendix R event.

ND-Q0999-2008-0007 Rev. 1 Appendix A Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant (BFN) Exemption Request for Appendix R III.G.2 Areas Operator Manual Actions (OMA)
Introduction:
The purpose of the analysis presented herein is to show that the operator manual actions (OMA) required to achieve and maintain hot shutdown conditions are not affected by the environmental conditions associated with fires in Appendix R 1I1.G.2 areas, and that the functionality of equipment needed to implement operator actions remains available and the area remains accessible. Realistic plant demonstrations will be provided to show that adequate time margin remains available to account for uncertainties. The analysis follows the guideline of NUREG 1852 and uses a deterministic approach for assessing the feasibility and reliability of operator manual actions. This evaluation will demonstrate that BFN meets the underlying purpose and intent of Appendix R III.G.2 rules.
The information provided within is BFN's basis for the exemption being requested in accordance with the requirements set forth by 10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(ii) since compliance with the regulation in this instance is not necessary to achieve the underlying purpose of the rule.
It should also be noted that the types of actions being evaluated have been previously approved by NRC (Reference 8) and no new type of actions are being introduced.

- 2. List of Operator Manual Actions (OMA) by Functions and Their Requirement to Establish Safe Shutdown Path or to Mitigate Adverse Consequences to the Analyzed Safe Shutdown Path The Unit 1, 2 and 3 Appendix R Manual Action Requirement calculation ED-Q0999-2003-0048 R6 (Reference 2) lists all the actions that are necessary for safe shutdown of the plant in the event of an Appendix R fire, This evaluation considers actions performed outside the main control room (MCR) within a period of one hour. Attachment I provides a list of all actions required to be performed in the first 60 minutes. It is expected that the fire affects after one hour will be substantially reduced so that manual actions are not impacted. The Operator Manual Actions (OMA) for the above areas will first be categorized according to their functions as follows:
- Reactivity Control
- Reactor Coolant Makeup Control
- Reactor Coolant System Pressure Control
- Support Systems (Equipment Cooling)
- Support Systems (Electric Power)
These categories are consistent with the Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) generic Multiple Spurious Operation (MSO) listing as prepared by the BWR Owners Group (Reference 3).
The groupings provide the relative order of manual actions for safe shutdown to be performed in a BWR plant. The equipment cooling and electric power supply systems provide the necessary support for safe shutdown functions.
These actions were then further separated in two categories:
A-5
ND-Q0999-2008-0007 Rev. 1 Appendix A Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant (BFN) Exemption Request for Appendix R III.G.2 Areas Operator Manual Actions (OMA)
Category 1. Manual Operator Actions required to Establish Analyzed Safe Shutdown Path.
This includes actions that are associated with part of the train required to achieve and maintain post fire hot shutdown* such as:
" High pressure injection (HPCI and RCIC)
" Low pressure injection (LPCI)
" Depressurization (ADS & MSRVs)
" Diesel generator loading (loading analysis)
" Diesel generator cooling (EECW)
- Power alignments (4 kV power supplies etc.)
- For BFN, the post-fire hot shutdown systems will include all systems required for high and low pressure injection, depressurization, and associated power supplies and cooling water for these systems. Note that the high pressure injection (HPCI and RCIC) is typically not credited for most III.G.2 areas. Long term decay heat removal is considered a cold shutdown process.
Category 2. Manual Operator Actions Required to Mitigate Adverse Consequences to the Analyzed Safe Shutdown Path.
This includes actions that are not associated with part of the train required to achieve and maintain post-fire hot shutdown, but can impact the ability of credited train to perform its safe shutdown function. Examples of these actions are:
" RPV overfill (spurious HPCI start w/loss of high level trip)
" All flow diversions from credited makeup path (includes sinile and multiole spurious)
S System trips (recirculation pump trip)
S System isolation (RWCU isolation)
S Preventive actions (open breakers to avoid damage, high impedance faults, preclude spurious operation, preclude dead-head, etc,)
The breakdown of the operator actions is primarily based on the NRC-NEI meeting report (Reference 4) on the deterministic post-fire safe shutdown methodology to address multiple spurious operations. The exemption request will concentrate on OMAs performed in the first category, i.e.. OMAs associated with the credited train. OMAs performed in the second category are primarily due to associated circuits (spurious operations) which have an adverse impact on the credited train. These actions are allowed per the guidelines provided in Generic Letter 81-12 (Reference 5). Actions to mitigate the effects of associated circuits have to be pre-planned and feasible.
The following Table 2 provides a review of all OMAs and lists them in their functional grouping along with placing them in one of the two categories as discussed above. HVAC actions are not included in Table 2, and will be addressed separately. The table also highlights actions that are performed in the Ill.G.2 areas (outside the EBRs).

3.1.2 Feasibility of OMAs Based on Other Environmental Factors (Radiation, Lighting)
Other environmental factors that can negatively impact the ability to perform manual actions are lighting and radiation. At BFN emergency lighting is provided as required by Appendix R, Section HIJ fbr paths to and from locations requiring A-37
ND-Q0999-2008-0007 Rev. 1 Appendix A Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant (BFN) Exemption Request for Appendix R III.G.2 Areas Operator Manual Actions (OMA) any actions and in areas where actions are performed. Therefore, lighting availability is considered adequate.
Access and egress paths and locations in the reactor building where manual actions ;'
are performed are typically categorized as "radiation areas" (>5mrem/hr and <100
\
mrem/hr). These are considered accessible areas with normal precautions. No actions are required in "high radiation"(> 100 mrem/hr) areas. Other areas where manual actions are performed are non-radiation areas. Radiation and lighting levels are also discussed in detail in Attachment 2.
3.2 Equipment Functionality and Accessibility N
The analysis in Section 3.1 (a) shows that majority of the actions are performed on electrical boards located in the electrical board rooms. The functionality of equipment and cables, needed to implement operator actions in these areas, will remain un-affected by the fire environment in the [II.G.2 areas. All areas in the electrical board rooms are readily accessible.
The analysis in Section 3.1 (b) Table 3 shows that based on floor to floor fire zone ~~1~*
separations and large distances within fire zones, the functionality of equipment and cables, needed to implement operator actions in these areas, will remain un-affected by the fire environment in the Ill.G.2 areas.
Adequacy of diagnostic instrumentation, communications, portable equipment and personnel protective eluipment (PPE) is detailed in Attachment 2.
3.3 Feasibility and Reliability of Manual Actions and Time Margins The feasibility and reliability of the OMAs are evaluated based on demonstrations, i.e.
the actions can be performed in the analyzed time available and are feasible. The demonstration is performed by a randomly selected established crew. Table 4 lists all the OMAs in the Electrical Board Rooms and Table 5 lists all the OMAs in the Reactor Building, their required time and demonstrated time and the technical basis of the required time.
A detailed validation and verification (V&V) of manual actions listed in the Safe Shutdown Instructions (SSIs) was performed. See Attachment 2 for details. The V&V demonstrated the feasibility and reliability of manual actions based on the adequacy of diagnostic instrumentation, communications, special tools, accessibility, procedures, staffing and training. The timing validation demonstrated that the actions are feasible and operators can perform the actions reliably. Sufficient time margin is available to account for uncertainties.

ND-Q0999-2008-0007 Rev. 1 Appendix A Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant (BFN) Exemption Request for Appendix R III.G.2 Areas Operator Manual Actions (OMA) 3.4 Plant Procedures Detailed post-fire safe shutdown procedures have been developed. These procedures, referred to as Safe Shutdown Instructions (SSI), provide instructions to the operator with the equipment and actions necessary to shutdown the plant in the event of a fire in any area of the plant. All operators are periodically trained to perform the SSIs with special emphasis on procedures involving complex actions and time critical steps (e.g. the main control room fire). The process involves a walkthrough from the control room (or other locations) to where the action is being performed. The operator remains in constant communication with the main control room during this period. Performance of the action hasto be clearly demonstrated in a timely manner. Any required tools or replacement parts (e.g. breaker racking tool) are made available locally. Breathing apparatus, if necessary are donned during this exercise. Each shift is fully staffed to perform the required post-fire safe shutdown actions per the SSI. The procedures are reviewed by Independent Qualified Reviewers (IQR) to ensure each required action was incorporated into the procedures and reviewed by procedure sponsors, with comments incorporated at each process phase, if required.
3.5 Staffing The staffing levels are adequate to implement the three units Safe Shutdown Instructions (SSI). Staff needed to implement Appendix R manual actions is within that specified by BFN Tech Specs. The staffing level consists of I Shift Manager,. 3 Unit SROs, 6UOs, 8AUOs, with the incident commander position filled by another qualified individual. The staffing level designates an SRO for each unit, two UOs per unit to accommodate the additional MCR board actions for load shed/diesel generator operation, and eight AUOs allows implementation of the field manual actions as well as any ventilation system alignments that may be required by O-AOI 1, as requested by Fire Captain or Incident Commander to facilitate smoke/gas removal, prior to entering the SSIs.

5.0 Conclusion The above analysis shows that operator manual actions required to achieve and maintain hot shutdown conditions are not affected by environmental factors associated with fires in Appendix R lI.G.2 areas. The functionality of equipment and cables needed to implement operator actions are not affected by fire environment and the equipment remains accessible. Adequate plant procedures and staffing is provided to implement operator actions. Realistic plant demonstrations and adequate time margin shows that operator manual actions are feasible and reliable. The evaluation demonstrates that BFN meets the underlying purpose and intent of Appendix R III.G.2 rules.
