Pages 16, 17, 28, 39, and 49 of the OIP indicate that portable FLEX equipment will be stored in the existing Unit 1 Chemical Systems Building. The Unit 1 Chemical Systems Building is no longer the selected means of storage for FLEX equipment. An existing structure will be utilized as a robust structure to house the Units 2 and 3 portable FLEX equipment. Modifications will be performed to this building to ensure that it will meet the requirements of NEI 12-06. After modified for FLEX, this building will be referred to as the FLEX Equipment Storage Building (FESB). | Pages 16, 17, 28, 39, and 49 of the OIP indicate that portable FLEX equipment will be stored in the existing Unit 1 Chemical Systems Building.

On Page 44 of the OIP, it is stated, "Additional equipment may be required to be powered during this event such as portable lighting and ventilation fans. These are not conveniently powered via the FLEX generator." For IPEC Unit 3 the current strategy is to restore ventilation to the control room and the battery room with the Phase 2 portable generator. Lighting panels for high priority areas (e.g., | |||
control building, control room, and some primary auxiliary building rooms) will also be repowered by the Phase 2 portable generator. For IPEC Unit 2, the design analysis is in progress.

- - Target Completion Date is the last submitted date from either the overall integrated plan or previous six-month status reports 4 Changes to Compliance Method In the continuing design development phase of the FLEX project at IPEC, changes have been identified to the compliance strategies as described in the original OIP (Reference 1).
Pages 16, 17, 28, 39, and 49 of the OIP indicate that portable FLEX equipment will be stored in the existing Unit 1 Chemical Systems Building. The Unit 1 Chemical Systems Building is no longer the selected means of storage for FLEX equipment. An existing structure will be utilized as a robust structure to house the Units 2 and 3 portable FLEX equipment. Modifications will be performed to this building to ensure that it will meet the requirements of NEI 12-06. After modified for FLEX, this building will be referred to as the FLEX Equipment Storage Building (FESB).
On Page 44 of the OIP, it is stated, "Additional equipment may be required to be powered during this event such as portable lighting and ventilation fans. These are not conveniently powered via the FLEX generator." For IPEC Unit 3 the current strategy is to restore ventilation to the control room and the battery room with the Phase 2 portable generator. Lighting panels for high priority areas (e.g.,
control building, control room, and some primary auxiliary building rooms) will also be repowered by the Phase 2 portable generator. For IPEC Unit 2, the design analysis is in progress. Restoration of the HVAC to the control room, the
NL-14-110 Dockets 50-247 and 50-286 Attachment Page 4 of 15 battery room, and lighting panels to high priority areas with the Phase 2 generator is still to be determined.
The Phase 2 electrical strategy, as described on Pages 44 through 46 of the OIP, has changed such that the FLEX generator primary connection for IPEC Unit 3 will power Bus 5A, and for IPEC Unit 2 will power Bus 2A through a spare breaker in a "plug and play" configuration, with the secondary connections powering Bus 3A and Bus 5A through reconfiguration of terminations.
The Unit 2 electrical strategy is still in design implementation.
5 Need for Relief/Relaxation and Basis for the Relief/Relaxation IPEC expects to comply with the order implementation date and no relief/relaxation is required at this time.
6 Open Items from Overall Integrated Plan and Interim Staff Evaluation The following tables provide 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.

7 Potential Interim Staff Evaluation Impacts The following items indicate a change and/or update to the items identified in this section during the 2nd Six-Month Status Report.
- 1. ISE/TER Section 3.1.1.1, Page 6, Item 3, the TER states "On pages 16, 27, 38 and 46 of the Integrated Plan the licensee stated that the storage location of IPEC's FLEX equipment is the existing Unit 1 Chemical Systems Building." Unit 1 Chemical Systems Building is no longer the selected means of storage for FLEX equipment. Indian Point will utilize an existing structure to house the Units 2 and 3 portable FLEX equipment. Modifications will be made to this structure to comply with the requirements of NEI 12-06. After modified for FLEX, this existing structure will be referred as the FLEX Equipment Storage Building (FESB).
- 2. ISE/TER Section 3.1.1.2, Page 7 and Section 3.1.2.2, Page 13, the TER states "On page 17 of the Integrated Plan, the licensee specified that deployment from the Unit 1 Chemical Systems Building would necessitate...". Unit 1 Chemical Systems Building is no longer selected/accepted means of storage for FLEX equipment. Indian Point will utilize an existing structure to house the Units 2 and 3 portable FLEX equipment. Modifications will be made to this structure to comply with the requirements of NEI 12-06. After modified for FLEX, this existing structure will be referred as the FLEX Equipment Storage Building (FESB).
- 3. ISE/TER Section 3.1.4.1, Page 20, the TER states "On pages 17, 27, 39 and 47 of the Integrated Plan, the licensee stated that portable equipment would be maintained in climate controlled storage locations to protect it from snow, ice and extreme cold." A climate controlled storage location for the portable equipment is no longer considered. The current plan is to have one FLEX storage building..
There is no heating or air conditioning system for the selected storage facility. For an extreme cold event, the minimum indoor temperature within the first eight hours following the event is approximately -6°F which is within the plant's design basis low temperature. Equipment which cannot tolerate storage in the low
NL-14-110 Dockets 50-247 and 50-286 Attachment Page 14 of 15 temperature conditions has been provided with block heaters. The current plan is Diesel Fuel stored with the FLEX equipment will be exposed to the cold temperature of approximately -6°F (as determined in IP-CALC-14-00033) at the end of eight hours following a BDBEE. The plan is that gelling of the diesel fuel will not be a concern following the BDBEE because the fuel procured at Indian Point 2, will conform to a cloud point of 10°F below the regional temperatures provided in ASTM D975-06. The lowest regional temperature (January is considered for conservatism) for the New York area provided in Table X5.1 of ASTM D975 is approximately 3°F (-16 0C). Therefore, the fuel procured at IP2 would have a rated cloud point of approximately -70F. As the rated cloud point is below the temperatures it will see inside the storage building, gelling of the fuel is not a concern.
- 4. ISE/TER Section 3.2.1.6, Page 32, the TER states "RCS boration is required for shutdown margin at 23.3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br />." The current analysis indicates that time for boration (beyond that provided by SI Accumulators) is 22.6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> for IPEC Unit 3 and 20.4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> for IPEC Unit 2.
- 5. ISE/TER Section 3.2.1.9, Page 35, the TER states "This pump will provide core make-up such that a limited period of two phase natural circulation cooling occurs...." Current strategy for IPEC Unit 3 would prevent the two phase condition from occurring (based on injection need time of 16.11 hrs per WCAP-17601 -P Table 5.2.2-1).
- 6. ISE/TER Section 3.2.4.3, Page 40, the TER states "...the licensee did not adequately address heat tracing." IP-CALC-1 3-00058 addresses the issue of heat tracing for IPEC Unit 3. Draft calculation IP-CALC-14-00043 addresses the issue of heat tracing for IPEC Unit 2. The preliminary results determine that the tanks are relatively immune to freezing.
