Status Complete.
The time to boil of 5.46 hours plus the boil-off time of 29.79 hours (a total of 35.2 hours) is the basis for a required action time of 33 hours. The 33 hours basis allows for deployment time of SFP Make-Up portable equipment prior to reaching a level of 10 feet above the fuel racks.
ULNRC-06087, Ameren Missouri's second six-month OIP submittal update (Reference 12), section 4.4, stated that the three connections (primary, secondary, and spray) for the Spent Fuel Pool Cooling strategy had been revised to place these connections just inside the building. An evaluation determined that the connection points would accessible early in the event.
Complete The boil off time in the OIP to a level of 15 feet above the fuel racks should have been 3 5.2 hours.

Enclosure to ULNRC-06184 Ameren Missouri's Fourth Six-Month Status Report for the Implementation of Order EA-12-049, Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events 1 Introduction Ameren Missouri developed an Overall Integrated Plan (OIP) (Reference 1) for the Callaway Plant, documenting the diverse and flexible strategies (FLEX), in response to NRC Order Number EA-12-049 (Reference 2). This enclosure provides an update of milestone accomplishments since submittal of the last status report (Reference 13), including any changes to the compliance method, schedule, or need for relief/relaxation and the basis, if any. Refer to Section 8 of this enclosure for a list of References.

2 Milestone Accomplishments The following milestones have been completed since the development of the OIP, and are current as of February 13, 2015.

Install Off-site Delivery Station (if necessary).

Changes to Compliance Method The following changes have been made to Ameren Missouri's Overall Integrated Plan (OIP)

(Reference 1) since submittal of the Third Six-Month Status Report (Reference 13).

I 4.1 Modes 5-6 Strategies Ameren Missouri is revising our Mode 5 - 6 Shutdown ELAP Strategy due to concerns that the Refueling Water Storage Tank (R WST) is not missile hardened. The strategy is being revised to utilize the new Hardened Condensate Storage Tank(s) (HCST) as a water source and the Boric Acid Tanks (BATS) and/or a mobile boration unit as a boron source. Further evaluation is required to fully develop this strategy.

5 Need for Relief/Relaxation and Basis for the Relief/Relaxation In Reference 4, Ameren Missouri formally requested relief from the requirement of Section IV.A.2 of the Order (EA-12-049) regarding full implementation no later than two (2) refueling cycles after submittal of the Overall Integrated Plan. NRC approval of the requested relief was received in Reference 5, relaxing full Order implementation for Callaway Plant until the completion of the spring 2016 refueling outage. The milestone schedule in Section 3 has been updated for consistency with the approved schedule relief. No additional relief is requested herein.

Open Items from Overall Integrated Plan and Interim Safety Evaluation The following tables provide a summary of the open items documented in the OIP or the Interim Safety Evaluation (ISE) and the status of each item.

Overall Integrated Plan Open Item 011 The RWST will need to be missile protected to credit its use in FLEX strategies.

012 GOTIDC analysis needs to be performed to demonstrate that Containment pressure and temperature remain at acceptable levels and that instrumentation EQ requirements will be maintained.

013 An analysis will need to be performed to demonstrate acceptable SFP cooling pump performance with the SFP in boil-off.

Status Started For MODES 1-4, missile protection of the RWST is not a concern from a FLEX strategy standpoint since the R WST is not required as a Reactor Coolant System (RCS) make-up & boration source. The Boric Acid Storage Tanks (BASTs) provide sufficient make-up volume to maintain sub-cooling (natural circulation removing decay heat removal via the Steam Generators) and sub-criticality of the reactor core. Low leakage Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) seals will limit RCS leakage to less than or equal to 1 gpm/RCP ( 4 gpm/total).

Assuming a maximum unidentified RCS leakage of 1 gpm, the total RCS leakage is 5 gpm.

Ameren Missouri is revising our Mode 5 -

6 Shutdown ELAP Strategy due to concerns that the R WST is not missile protected. The strategy is being revised to utilize the new Hardened Condensate Storage Tank(s) (HCST) as a water source and the Boric Acid Tanks (BATS) and/or a mobile boration unit as a boron source. Further evaluation is required to fully develop this strategy.

Status Closed.

Ameren Missouri has determined that the non-Class 1 E instrument racks will not be re-powered via a temporary battery. The required instrument readings will be obtained via portable instruments.

Started.

Ameren Missouri will construct a new Hardened Condensate Storage Tank (HCST) that is seismically qualified and missile protected. Relaxation of Order requirements regarding the date of full implementation was requested (Reference 4) and has been approved (Reference 5). FLEX Support Guidelines (FSG) will be developed for use of the new HCST. Callaway is currently re-evaluating the HCST design.

Closed.

The method for isolating accumulators during RCS inventory control has been finalized. Step 1 of FSG-10, "Passive RCS Injection Isolation (Rev. 0),"

determines if isolation of Safety Injection (SI)

Accumulators is desired. If the Steam Generators will be depressurized below 220 psig, then the SI accumulators are isolated by closure of their discharge isolation valves (if power is available from FLEX 480 VAC Generator) or vented to the containment atmosphere. Callaway Energy Center calculation, BB-180 Rev.O Add. 5 "Minimum Steamline Pressure to Prevent Accumulator Nitrogen Injection," establishes the site specific value for the Westinghouse Owners Group Emergency Response Guidelines Setpoint 0.07 that is used in the Emergency Operating Procedures (i.e.,

ECA-0.0, "Loss of All AC Power," Step 17, Rev.

0 19). The site calculation takes into consideration the potential for nitrogen expansion/SI accumulator pressure increase from heat sources within the containment building (i.e., RCS).

3.4.A Offsite Resource Capabilities Details are needed to demonstrate the minimum capabilities for offsite resources will be met per NEI 12-06 Section 12.2.

Status Complete.

All trailer mounted diesel-driven equipment housed inside the Hardened Storage Building (HSB) will be individually equipped with a trailer mounted automatic fuel oil purification system that maintains the quality of the fuel oil inside the trailer's tank.

After the ELAP, the only "guaranteed" source of fuel-oil (besides what is stored inside the HSB) will be the Emergency Diesel Fuel Oil Storage Tanks (TJEO 1A & B). Existing sampling requirements for TEJ01A/B are delineated in Diesel Fuel Oil Testing Program as required by TIS SIR 3.8.3.3. FSG-44, FLEX Diesel Fuel Strategy, has been developed to provide direction for supplying diesel fuel for FLEX response equipment during an ELAP event. This FSG provides guidance for obtaining diesel fuel oil from the Emergency Diesel Day Tanks (TJE02 AlB), as well as the Emergency Diesel Fuel Oil Storage Tanks (TJEO 1A & B). Instructions for obtaining fuel from other non-robust diesel fuel tanks are also included in this FSG in the event the tank survives the event.

Complete The National Safer Response Centers (NSRC) in Memphis, TN., and Phoenix, AR., are operational.

Ameren Missouri has a contract with NSRC to provide Phase 3 FLEX portable equipment. The NRC Staff Assessment of the NSRCs is documented in NRC Letter from Mr. Jack Davis, Director Mitigating Strategies Directorate to Mr. Joseph E.

Pollock, Vice President, Nuclear Operations, Nuclear Energy Institute, dated September 26, 2014 (ML14265A107). The Staff Assessment evaluated all the items listed in NEI 12-06, Section 12.2.

3.1.1.2.B -

Electrical Power for FLEX Equipment Deployment Information is needed regarding whether or not electrical power will be required to move or deploy FLEX equipment from storage.

3.1.2.A-RWST and UHS Flood Levels Licensee stated that UHS and refueling water storage tank (R WST) are below flood levels but the licensee needs to address potential consequences such as debris in the UHS or access to RWST. In addition, the staff noted that the deployment of FLEX equipment and associated procedural interfaces may be impacted by the UHS and R WST being below the design-basis flood level.

Status Started The new Hardened Condensate Storage Tank (HCST) is scheduled to complete by the end of Refuel 21 (RF21)

Complete Electrical Power will not be required to move or deploy FLEX equipment from storage.

Started For MODES 1-4, the RWST being located below the maximum plant site flood level of Elevation 840.16 ft. mean sea level (MSL) is not a concern from a FLEX strategy standpoint since the R WST is not required as a Reactor Coolant System (RCS) make-up & boration source. The Boric Acid Storage Tanks (BASTs) provide sufficient make-up volume to maintain sub-cooling (natural circulation removing decay heat removal via the Steam Generators) and sub-criticality of the reactor core.

Low leakage Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) seals will limit RCS leakage to less than or equal to 1 gpm/RCP ( 4 gpm/total).

Assuming a maximum unidentified RCS leakage of 1 gpm, the total RCS leakage is 5 gpm.

Ameren Missouri is revising the Mode 5 -

6 Shutdown ELAP Strategy due to concerns that the R WST is not missile protected and in a later update will provide the necessary information documenting the evaluation for the utilization of the RWST as a water source.

The impact of the UHS being below flood level is still being evaluated. Ameren Missouri will provide the requested information in a later submittal.

Status Started.

The following will be included in the Ameren Missouri Final Integrated Plan (FIP):

Tornados are generally fast moving events and over quickly. OTO-ZZ-00012, Severe Weather, provides instructions to prepare the plant for severe weather conditions and a potential station blackout. Ameren Missouri has identified multiple deployment routes for the FLEX portable equipment in the event of damage to the deployment routes. Ameren Missouri has also developed FLEX Support Guideline FSG-5, Initial Assessment and Flex Equipment Staging, to provide guidelines to establish clear access routes and for the deployment of the portable FLEX Equipment.

Complete.

Step 1 of FSG-1 0, "Passive RCS Injection Isolation (Rev. 0)," determines if isolation of Safety Injection (SI) Accumulators is desired.

If the Steam Generators will be depressurized below 220 psig, then the SI accumulators are isolated by closure of their discharge isolation valves (if power is available from FLEX 480 VAC Generator) or vented to the containment atmosphere. Callaway Energy Center calculation, BB-180 Rev.O Add. 5 "Minimum Steamline Pressure to Prevent Accumulator Nitrogen Injection," establishes the site specific value for the Westinghouse Owners Group Emergency Response Guidelines Setpoint 0.07 that is used in the Emergency Operating Procedures (i.e.,

ECA-0.0, "Loss of All AC Power," Step 17, Rev.
