Nebraska Public Power District - Cooper Nuclear Station Docket No. 50-298, License No. DPR-46 License Amendment Request to Revise the Fire Protection Licensing Basis to NFPA 805 Per 10 CFR 50.48(c)
 
==Reference:==
Letter from Brian J. O'Grady, Nebraska Public Power District, to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, dated June 27, 2011, "Revised Submittal Date for 10 CFR 50.48(c) License Amendment Request and Request for Extension of Enforcement Discretion" (NLS2011057)
 
==Dear Sir or Madam:==
 
The purpose of this letter is for the Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) to request an amendment to Facility Operating License DPR-46 under the provisions of 10 CFR 50.4 and 10 CFR 50.90, to revise the Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS) Operating License consistent with the adoption of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 805 as the CNS Fire Protection Licensing Basis, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.48(c). This request is made consistent with the commitment provided in the referenced letter. A concurrent related change to the CNS Technical Specifications (TS) is also requested.
The adoption of NFPA 805 as the CNS Fire Protection Licensing Basis is effected through the replacement of the standard Fire Protection License Condition (License Condition 2.C.(4) of the CNS Operating License) with the License Condition specified in Regulatory Guide 1.205, Revision 1. A corollary change to TS 5.4.1 is also included. NPPD has determined from the No Significant Hazards Consideration determination that these changes do not involve a significant hazard.
Enclosure I provides the NFPA 805 Transition Report. This report describes the transition methodology utilized and documents how CNS complies with the new NFPA 805 requirements.
The report includes a description of the License Condition and TS changes, the basis for the amendment, the No Significant Hazards Consideration evaluation pursuant to 10 CFR 50.91 (a)(1), and the Environmental Impact evaluation pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22. Attachment I contains a markup of the proposed changes to License Condition 2.C.(4) and TS 5.4.1. contains the clean, retyped License and TS pages.
COOPER NUCLEAR STATION P.O. Box 98 / Brownville, NE 68321-0098 Telephone: (402) 825-3877 / Fax: (402) 825-5211 www.nppd.com
 
NLS2012006 Page 2 of 2 The proposed TS changes have been reviewed by the necessary safety review committees (Station Operations Review Committee and Safety Review and Audit Board). Amendments to the CNS Facility Operating License through Amendment 241 issued February 16, 2012, have been incorporated into this request. This request is submitted under affirmation pursuant to 10 CFR 50.30(b). NPPD proposes an implementation date within six months after issuance of the NFPA 805 License Amendment.
By copy of this letter and its attachments, the appropriate State of Nebraska official is notified in accordance with 10 CFR 50.91 (b)(1). Copies are also being provided to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region IV office and the CNS Senior Resident Inspector in accordance with 10 CFR 50.4(b)(1).
Should you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact Todd Stevens, CNS NFPA 805 Transition Project Manager, at (402) 825-5159.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

Nebraska Pubhlic Power Distric~t                                  CN5S NFPA 805 Transition Report
 
==1.0      INTRODUCTION==
 
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has promulgated an alternative rule for fire protection requirements at nuclear power plants, 10 CFR 50.48(c), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 805, "Performance-Based Standard for Fire Protection for Light Water Reactor Electric Generating Plants - 2001 Edition" (Ref. 1). Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) is implementing the methodology identified in Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) document NEI 04-02, "Guidance for Implementing a Risk-informed, Performance-based Fire Protection Program Under 10 CFR 50.48(c)" (NEI 04-02, Ref. 2), to transition Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS) from its current fire protection licensing basis to the new requirements as outlined in NFPA 805. This report describes the transition methodology utilized and documents how CNS complies with the new requirements.
1.1      Background 1.1.1    NFPA 805 - Requirements and Guidance On July 16, 2004, the NRC amended 10 CFR 50.48, Fire Protection, to add a new subsection, 10 GFR 50.48(c), which established new Risk-Informed, Performance-Based (RI-PB) fire protection requirements. 10 CFR 50.48(c) incorporates by reference, with exceptions, NFPA 805, as a voluntary alternative to 10 CFR 50.48 Sections (b) and (f).
As stated in 10 CFR 50.48(c)(3)(i), any licensee's adoption of a RI-PB program that complies with the rule is voluntary. This rule may be adopted as an acceptable alternative method for complying with either 10 CFR 50.48(b), for plants licensed to operate before January 1, 1979, or the fire protection license conditions for plants licensed to operate after January 1, 1979, or 10 CFR 50.48(f), for plants shutdown in accordance with 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1).
NEI developed NEI 04-02 to assist licensees in adopting NFPA 805 and making the transition from their current fire protection licensing basis to one based on NFPA 805. The NRC issued Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.205, "Risk-Informed, Performance-Based Fire Protection for Existing Light-Water Nuclear Power Plants" (Ref. 3), which endorses NEI 04-02, with exceptions, in December 2009.1 A depiction of the primary document relationships is shown in Figure 1-1:
Where referred to in this document NEI 04-02 is Revision 2 and RG 1.205 is Revision 1.

N Figure 1 NFPA 805 Transition - Implementation Requirements/Guidance 1.1.2  Transition to 10 CFR 50.48(c) 1.1.2.1 Start of Transition NPPD submitted a letter of intent to the NRC on December 22, 2005 (Ref. 4), for CNS to adopt NFPA 805 in accordance with 10 CFR 50.48(c).
By letter dated March 7, 2006, the NRC acknowledged receipt of the letter of intent. The letter stated that the CNS discretion period would begin on December 31, 2005, and expire on December 31, 2007. The letter did not specifically grant the four-year enforcement discretion period requested in the letter of intent (Ref. 5).
The NRC granted a third year of enforcement discretion by Federal Register Notice 71 FR 19905, dated April 18, 2006. In accordance with NRC Enforcement Policy, the enforcement discretion period would continue until the NRC approval of the License Amendment Request (LAR) is completed.
On the basis of a revision to the Enforcement Policy (71 FR 19905), a three-year enforcement discretion period was granted to CNS by the NRC in a letter dated October 30, 2006 (Ref. 6).
Therefore, the NRC considered the discretion period for CNS, which began on December 22, 2005, to expire on December 22, 2008.
On September 10, 2008, the NRC published in the Federal Register (73 FR 52705) a revision to its Interim Enforcement Policy regarding enforcement discretion for certain fire protection Page 2
 
Neraska Pubichi  Power District                                ('Ni NIPPA 805! Transition Rernort issues, allowing licensees the option to request an extended enforcement discretion period for submittal of a LAR if they are pursuing transition to 10 CFR 50.48(c). This revision states that an additional period of enforcement discretion may be granted on a case-by-case basis, if a licensee has made substantial progress in its transition effort. This additional period of enforcement discretion, if granted, would end six months after the date of the safety evaluation approving the second pilot plant LAR review. The enforcement discretion would continue in place, without interruption, until NRC approval of the LAR to transition to 10 CFR 50.48(c).
By letter dated September 19, 2008, and in accordance with Federal Register Notice 73 FR 52705, NPPD requested that enforcement discretion be extended for CNS until six months after the safety evaluation is issued for the second pilot plant (Ref. 7).
By letter dated December 19, 2008, the NRC staff reviewed Nebraska Public Power District's request, and determined that the licensee had made substantial enough progress in its transition to NFPA 805 to grant the additional enforcement discretion. Accordingly, the enforcement discretion period was extended until six months after the date of the safety evaluation approving the second pilot plant LAR (Ref. 8).
On December 29, 2010, the NRC issued a safety evaluation for the second pilot plant (Ref. 9).
Based on this document, the period of enforcement discretion for CNS was to end June 29, 2011.
On June 27, 2011, and in accordance with SECY-11-0033, NPPD committed to submit the NFPA 805 LAR by April 27, 2012 (Ref. 10). This was accepted in an NRC letter dated July 28, 2011, which extended enforcement discretion for CNS until NRC approval of the NFPA 805 LAR is obtained (Ref. 11).
1.1.2.2 Transition Process The transition to NFPA 805 includes the following high level activities:
* A new fire safe shutdown analysis
* A new Fire Probabilistic Risk Assessment (FPRA) using NUREG/CR-6850, "EPRI/NRC-RES Fire PRA Methodology for Nuclear Power Facilities" (Ref. 12), as guidance and a revision to the Internal Events Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) to support the FPRA
* Completion of activities required to transition the pre-transition Licensing Basis to 10 CFR 50.48(c) as specified in NEI 04-02 and RG 1.205 1.2      Purpose The purpose of the Transition Report is as follows:
: 1) Describe the process implemented to transition the current fire protection program (FPP) to compliance with the additional requirements of 10 CFR 50.48(c);
: 2)  Summarize the results of the transition process;
: 3) Explain the bases for conclusions that the FPP complies with 10 CFR 50.48(c) requirements;
: 4) Describe the new fire protection licensing basis; and,
: 5)  Describe the configuration management processes used to manage post-transition changes to the station and the FPP, and resulting impact on the Licensing Basis.

As a result, CNS has a fire protection program based on compliance with 10 CFR 50.48(a), 10 CFR 50.48(b), 10 CFR 50 Appendix R (Sections III.G 2, Ill.J, and 111.O3), Branch Technical Position APCSB 9.5-1, Appendix A, and the following License Condition.
CNS Operating License Condition 2.C.(4) states:
The licensee shall implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved fire protection program as described in the Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS)
Updated Safety Analysis Report and as approved in the Safety Evaluations dated November 29, 1977; May 23, 1979; November 21, 1980; April 29, 1983; April 16, 1984; June 1, 1984; January 3, 1985; August 21, 1985; April 10, 1986; September 9, 1986; November 7, 1988; February 3, 1989; August 15, 1995; and July 31, 1998, subject to the following provision:
The licensee may make changes to the approved fire protection program without prior approval of the Commission only if those changes would not adversely affect the ability to achieve and maintain safe shutdown in the event of a fire.
2.2        NRC Acceptance of the Fire Protection Licensing Basis An NRC letter dated May 3, 1976, transmitted to NPPD a copy of Standard Review Plan (SRP) 9.5.1 "Fire Protection System" (Ref. 13). In a letter dated May 11, 1976 (Ref. 14) (and later clarified in a letter dated September 30, 1976 (Ref. 15)), the NRC requested NPPD compare the existing fire protection provisions at CNS with Appendix A of the SRP guidelines. The NRC also requested that Fire Protection Technical Specifications be proposed.                  The Fire Hazards Analysis (FHA) was developed in response to this request, and submitted to the NRC on December 17, 1976 (Ref. 16) (with a supplemental FHA submittals on March 31, 1977, and April 6, 1977 (Ref. 17 and 18)). Proposed Fire Protection Technical Specifications were submitted on February 4, 1977 (Ref. 19) (as revised on July 20, 1977, and December 19, 1977 (Ref. 20 and 21)). The NRC Staff reviewed these submittals and issued fire protection review questions, which NPPD responded to in letters dated May 11, 1978, June 21, 1978, August 16, 1978, December 11, 1978, and April 12, 1979 (Ref. 22, 23, 24, 25, and 26). On November 29, 1977, the NRC issued the initial Fire Protection Technical Specifications (Ref.
27). On May 23, 1979, the NRC issued the Safety Evaluation Report with License Amendment 56, which summarized the status of their evaluation of the FPP at CNS, and revised the CNS Fire Protection Technical Specifications (Ref. 28). By letters dated October 22, 1979, and January 16, 1980 (Ref. 29 and 30), NPPD proposed additional changes to the Fire Protection Technical Specifications, and submitted additional information concerning fire protection modifications. On November 21, 1980, the NRC issued License Amendment 66, which contained Supplement No. 1 to the Fire Protection Safety Evaluation (Ref. 31). This completed the staff's fire protection review for CNS.
2  In response to Generic Letter 86-10 Question 5.1.3, the NRC established that Section III.L is applicable to Paragraph III.G.3, where that option is chosen by the licensee.
3 The 10 CFR 50 Appendix R Section 111.0 requirements for a reactor coolant pump oil collection system are not applicable to CNS since the containment is inerted during normal operation.

On December 2, 1983, NPPD submitted Volume III to that analysis (Ref. 33).
On April 16, 1984, the NRC issued a Safety Evaluation which concluded that CNS met the requirements of Appendix R, Section III.G.3 and III.L (Ref. 34). In a letter dated July 29, 2002, NPPD provided to the NRC clarifying information contained in the April 16, 1984 Safety Evaluation, while reaffirming that the NRC's conclusion that CNS meets the requirements of Appendix R, Section III.G.3 and III.L remained valid (Ref. 35).
In letters dated May 9, 1985, and June 7, 1985, NPPD reported to the NRC the results of the re-developed Appendix R analysis and identified additional required modifications (Ref. 36 and 37). On August 21, 1985, the NRC issued a Safety Evaluation which concluded that the proposed modifications were in accordance with the technical requirements of Appendix R and were acceptable (Ref. 38).
In response to NPPD LARs, various Fire Protection Technical Specification changes were approved by the NRC:
    -    Amendment 82, dated April 29, 1983, regarding the Fire Protection Clean Water Supply (Ref. 39).
    -    Amendment 86, dated June 1, 1984, regarding submittal of 30-day Special Reports (Ref.
40).
    -    Amendment 90, dated January 3, 1985, regarding installation of additional fire detection instruments (Ref. 41).
    -    Amendment 98, dated April 10, 1986, regarding the addition of a Halon fire suppression system and fire detectors in the Service Water Pump Room (Ref. 42)
    -    Amendment 101, dated September 9, 1986, regarding usage of Fire Protection procedures (Ref. 43).
    -    Amendment 126, dated November 7, 1988, regarding Alternate Shutdown Capability (Ref. 44).
    -    Amendment 127, dated February 3, 1989, regarding miscellaneous changes to the FPP (Ref. 45).
Ultimately, as a result of the conversion to the Improved Standard Technical Specifications (License Amendment 178, dated July 31, 1998), the CNS Fire Protection Technical Specifications were relocated to the Technical Requirements Manual, a document incorporated by reference into the CNS Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR) (Ref. 46).
In a letter dated December 16, 1994, NPPD identified to the NRC a number of commitment revisions, several of which affected the bases used to support specific exemptions granted by the NRC (Ref. 47). In this letter, NPPD also withdrew an exemption granted for the Critical Switchgear Rooms 1F and 1G that was determined to no longer be necessary.                      On August 15, 1995, the NRC issued a Safety Evaluation which revoked the exemption for the Critical Switchgear Rooms 1F and 1G (Ref. 48).

Transition Reno~r L 3.0      TRANSITION PROCESS 3.1      Background Section 4.1.2 of NEI 04-02 describes the process for transitioning from compliance with the current fire protection licensing basis to the new requirements of 10 CFR 50.48(c):
Phase 1: Preliminary Assessment and Letter of Intent
* Make preliminary determination of the activities that will be necessary to support the transition.
* Make initial determination of any changes to the plant or FPP that may be necessary.
* Establish a tentative schedule for completing all of the actions necessary for the transition.
* Submit a Letter of Intent to the NRC.
Phase 2: Analysis and License Amendment Request
* Conduct the transition activities to demonstrate compliance. Section 4.3 describes in detail how the current fire protection licensing basis can be used to support demonstrations of compliance with the requirements in NFPA 805.
* Determine extent to which the current fire protection licensing basis can be shown to demonstrate compliance with the new fire protection requirements.
    " Determine any changes to the plant that will require a license amendment.
    " Determine any alternative methods and analytical approaches that will be relied on to demonstrate compliance with the new fire protection requirements and will require a license amendment.
* Document the new fire protection licensing basis in a Transition Report.
* Update the schedule for completion of transition activities.
* Submit a LAR to the NRC.
Phase 3: Completion of Transition
* While the NRC reviews the LAR, complete all of the transition activities which do not require prior NRC approval, including plant changes which do not require a license amendment under the current license condition, procedure changes, and training.
    " After the NRC issues the license amendment, complete any changes to the plant that required a license amendment.
* Rely on alternative methods and analytical approaches acceptable to the NRC to demonstrate compliance with the new fire protection requirements.
    " Adopt the new licensing basis.
3.2      NFPA 805 Process Section 2.2 of NFPA 805 establishes the general process for demonstrating compliance with NFPA 805. This process is illustrated in Figure 3-1. It shows that except for the fundamental fire protection requirements, compliance can be achieved on a fire area basis either by deterministic or risk-informed, performance-based (RI-PB) methods. Consistent with the Page 8

Nebraska Public Power District                                  CNS NFPA 805 Transition Renort 3.4      NFPA 805 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The NRC has worked with NEI and two Pilot Plants (Oconee Nuclear Station and Harris Nuclear Plant) to define the licensing process for transitioning to a new licensing basis under 10 CFR 50.48(c) and NFPA 805. Both the NRC and the industry recognized the need for additional clarifications to the guidance provided in RG 1.205, NEI 04-02, and the requirements of NFPA 805. The NFPA 805 FAQ process was jointly developed by NEI and NRC to facilitate timely clarifications of NRC positions. This process is described in a letter from the NRC dated July 12, 2006, to NEI (Ref. 52) and in Regulatory Issues Summary 2007-19, "Process for Communicating Clarifications of Staff Positions Provided in RG 1.205 Concerning Issues Identified during the Pilot Application of NFPA Standard 805", dated August 20, 2007 (Ref. 53).
Under the FAQ Process, transition issues are submitted to the NEI NFPA 805 Task Force for review, and subsequently presented to the NRC during public FAQ meetings. Once the NEI NFPA 805 Task Force and NRC reach agreement, the NRC issues a memorandum to indicate that the FAQ is acceptable. NEI 04-02 will be revised to incorporate the approved FAQs. This is an on-going revision process that will continue through the transition of non-pilot NFPA 805 plants. Final closure of the FAQs will occur when future revisions of RG 1.205, endorsing the related revisions of NEI 04-02, are approved by the NRC. It is expected that additional FAQs will be written and existing FAQs will be revised as plants continue NFPA 805 transition after the Pilot Plant Safety Evaluations.
Attachment H contains the list of approved FAQs not yet incorporated into the endorsed revision of NEI 04-02. These FAQs have been used to clarify the guidance in RG 1.205, NEI 04-02, and the requirements of NFPA 805 and in the preparation of this LAR.

4.0      COMPLIANCE WITH NFPA 805 REQUIREMENTS 4.1      Fundamental Fire Protection Program and Design Elements The Fundamental Fire Protection Program and Design Elements are established in Chapter 3 of NFPA 805. Section 4.3.1 of NEI 04-02 provides a systematic process for determining the extent to which the pre-transition licensing basis and plant configuration meets these criteria and for identifying the FPP changes that would be necessary for compliance with NFPA 805. NEI 04-02 Appendix B, Section B.1, provides guidance on documenting compliance with the program requirements of NFPA 805 Chapter 3.
4.1.1    Overview of Evaluation Process The comparison of the CNS FPP to the requirements of NFPA 805 Chapter 3 was performed and documented in CNS Calculation NEDC 10-080 entitled "Transition of Fundamental Fire Protection Program and Design Elements". Calculation NEDC 10-080 used the guidance contained in NEI 04-02, Section 4.3.1 and Appendix B, Section B.1 (See Figure 4-1).
Each section and subsection of NFPA 805 Chapter 3 was reviewed against the current FPP, as described in Attachment A. Upon completion of the activities associated with the review, the following compliance statements were used:
* Complies - For those sections/subsections determined to meet the specific requirements of NFPA 805.
    "  Complies with Clarification - For those sections/subsections determined to meet the requirements of NFPA 805 with clarification.
* Complies by previous NRC approval - For those sections/subsections where the specific NFPA 805 Chapter 3 requirements are not met, but previous NRC approval of the configuration exists.
    "  Complies with use of Existing Engineering Equivalency Evaluations (EEEEs) - For those sections/subsections determined to be equivalent to the NFPA 805 Chapter 3 requirements, as documented by engineering analysis.
* Submit for NRC Approval - For those sections/subsections for which approval is sought in this LAR submittal in accordance with 10 CFR 50.48(c)(2)(vii). A summary of the bases of acceptability is provided (see Attachment L for details).
* Complies with Required Action - Assigned to those NFPA 805 Chapter 3 sections/subsections determined to be met by the CNS FPP after completion of an action, to be completed after submittal of the NFPA 805 LAR.
    "  N/A - No compliance basis is necessary or applicable.
In some cases multiple compliance statements have been assigned to a specific NFPA 805 Chapter 3 section/subsection. Where this is the case, each compliance/compliance basis statement clearly references the corresponding requirement of NFPA 805 Chapter 3.

This table provides the compliance basis for the requirements in NFPA 805 Chapter 3. Except as identified in Section 4.1.2.3, Attachment A demonstrates that the fire protection program at CNS either:
    "  Complies directly with the requirements of NFPA 805 Chapter 3.
    "  Complies with clarification with the requirements of NFPA 805 Chapter 3.
    "  Complies with a previously NRC approved alternative to NFPA 805 Chapter 3, and therefore the specific requirement of NFPA 805 Chapter 3 is supplanted.
    "  Complies through the use of EEEEs which are valid and of appropriate quality.
    "  Complies upon the completion of a required action. Implementation items are identified for those sections and/or subsections determined to meet the specific requirements of NFPA 805 after the completion of a modification or other action, such as a procedure change or a work request. (See Attachment S for details).
    "  None - No compliance basis is necessary or applicable.
4.1.2.2 NFPA 805 Chapter 3 Requirements Requiring Clarification of Prior NRC Approval NPFA 805 Section 3.1 states in part, "Previously approved alternatives from the fundamental protection program attributes of this chapter by the AHJ take precedence over the requirements contained herein." In some cases prior NRC approval of an NFPA 805 Chapter 3 program attribute may be unclear. NPPD requests that the NRC concur with their finding of prior approval for the following sections of NFPA 805 Chapter 3:
0  None.
4.1.2.3 NFPA 805 Chapter 3 Requirements Not Previously Approved by NRC The following sections of NFPA 805 Chapter 3 are not specifically met nor do previous NRC approvals of alternatives exist:
0  3.3.1.2(1) - Approval is requested for the use of commercially available products which utilize small quantities of non-treated wood as an integral part of a finished product (e.g.,
tools, janitorial supplies, special fixtures, measurement and test equipment, and office type furniture).
0  3.3.5.1 - Approval is requested for certain wiring configurations above suspended ceilings that is not approved for plenum use, and not installed in conduit.
0  3.3.5.2 - Approval is requested for the use of plastic conduit in lieu of metallic raceways when installed embedded in concrete or below grade.
* 3.3.7.2 - Approval is requested for the configuration of the bulk storage hydrogen gas cylinders, which have their long axis pointing toward the Intake Structure.
* 3.5.3 (NFPA 20-1999, Section 7-5.2.4) - Approval is requested for the ability to stop the electric fire pump remotely from the Control Room.

The specific deviation and a discussion of how the alternative satisfies 10 CFR 50.48(c)(2)(vii) requirements are provided in Attachment L.            NPPD requests NRC approval of these performance-based methods.
4.1.3  Definition of Power Block and Plant Where used in NFPA 805 Chapter 3 the terms "Power Block" and "Plant" refer to structures that contain equipment required for nuclear plant operations, such as Reactor Building, Control Building, Turbine Generator Building, Diesel Generator Building, Radwaste Buildings, Intake Structure, and other structures (or areas) that are identified in the facility's pre-transition licensing basis.
These structures/areas are listed in Attachment I and define the "Power Block" and "Plant".
4.2      Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria The Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria are established in Section 1.5 of NFPA 805.
Chapter 4 of NFPA 805 provides the methodology to determine the fire protection systems and features required to achieve the performance criteria outlined in Section 1.5. Section 4.3.2 of NEI 04-02 provides a systematic process for determining the extent to which the pre-transition licensing basis meets these criteria and for identifying any necessary FPP changes. NEI 04-02, Section B.2 provides guidance on documenting the transition of Nuclear Safety Capability Assessment (NSCA) Methodology and the Fire Area compliance strategies.
4.2.1  Nuclear Safety Capability Assessment Methodology The NSCA Methodology review consists of four processes:
    "  Establishing compliance with NFPA 805 Section 2.4.2
    "  Establishing the Safe and Stable Conditions for the Plant
* Establishing Recovery Actions
    "  Evaluating Multiple Spurious Operations (MSO)
The methodology for demonstrating reasonable assurance that a fire during non-power operation (NPO) modes will not prevent the plant from achieving and maintaining the fuel in a safe and stable condition is an additional requirement of 10 CFR 50.48(c) and is addressed in Section 4.3.

The purpose of this section is to define the methodology for performing a nuclear safety capability assessment. The following steps shall be performed:
(1) Selection of systems and equipment and their interrelationships necessary to achieve the nuclear safety performance criteria in Chapter 1 (2) Selection of cables necessary to achieve the nuclear safety performance criteria in Chapter 1 (3) Identification of the location of nuclear safety equipment and cables (4) Assessment of the ability to achieve the nuclear safety performance criteria given a fire in each fire area The NSCA methodology review evaluated the existing post-fire safe shutdown analysis (SSA) methodology against the guidance for transitioning to NFPA 805 provided in NEI 00-01, Revision 1 (Ref. 54), Chapter 3, "Deterministic Methodology," as discussed in Appendix B-2 of NEI 04-02. The methodology is depicted in Figure 4-2 and consisted of the following activities:
    "    Each specific section of NFPA 805 2.4.2 was correlated to the corresponding section of Chapter 3 of NEI 00-01 Revision 1. Based upon the content of the NEI 00-01 methodology statements, a determination was made of the applicability of the section to the station.
    "    The plant-specific methodology was compared to applicable sections of NEI 00-01 and one of the following alignment statements and its associated basis were assigned to the section:
              "  Aligns o  Aligns with intent o  Not in Alignment o  Not in Alignment, but Prior NRC Approval o  Not in Alignment, but no adverse consequences
* For those sections that do not align, an assessment was made to determine if the failure to maintain strict alignment with the guidance in NEI 00-01 could have adverse consequences. Since NEI 00-01 is a guidance document, portions of its text could be interpreted as 'good practice' or intended as an example of an efficient means of performing the analyses. If the section has no adverse consequences, these sections of NEI 00-01 can be dispositioned without further review.
The comparison of the CNS existing post-fire SSA methodology to NEI 00-01 Chapter 3 (NEI 04-02 Table B-2) for transitioning to NFPA 805 was performed and documented in CNS Calculation NEDC 10-039, Revision 1, "Nuclear Safety Performance Analysis Methodology Review."

It is important to note that the NRC, through the issuance of RG 1.205, endorsed Chapter 3 of industry guidance document NEI 00-01 as one acceptable approach to circuit analysis for a plant transitioning their FPP to NFPA 805. This endorsement was made initially on revision 1 and subsequently revision 2 of the NEI guidance document. To ensure that changes to the text in Chapter 3 that did occur between revisions did not alter the conclusions reached during the review, a gap analysis was performed in CNS Calculation NEDC 10-039, "Nuclear Safety Performance Analysis Methodology review EPM Report R1906-004-001." There were no additional justifications to address the impact of changes due to the gap analysis that required inclusion in Attachment B.
3"p3 (St*v 4 Figure 4 Summary of Nuclear Safety Methodology Review Process (FAQ 07-0039) 4.2.1.2 Safe and Stable Conditions for the Plant Overview of Process The nuclear safety goals, objectives and performance criteria of NFPA 805 allow more flexibility than the previous deterministic programs based on 10 CFR 50 Appendix R and NUREG 0800, Section 9.5-1 (and NEI 00-01, Chapter 3) since NFPA 805 only requires the licensee to maintain the fuel in a safe and stable condition rather than achieve and maintain cold shutdown.
NFPA 805, Section 1.6.56, defines Safe and Stable Conditions as follows:
For fuel in the reactor vessel, head on and tensioned, safe and stable conditions are defined as the ability to maintain Keff <0.99, with a reactor coolant temperature at or below the requirements for hot shutdown for a boiling water reactor and hot standby for Page 17

The nuclear safety goal of NFPA 805 requires "...reasonable assurance that a fire during any operational mode and plant configuration will not prevent the plant from achieving and maintaining the fuel in a safe and stable condition" without a specific reference to a mission time or event coping duration.
For the plant to be in a safe and stable condition, it may not be necessary to perform a transition to cold shutdown as currently required under 10 CFR 50, Appendix R. Therefore, the unit may remain at or below the temperature defined by a hot shutdown plant operating state for the event.
Results Based on CNS Calculation NEDC 11-019, "Nuclear Safety Capability Assessment" (NSCA), the proposed NFPA 805 licensing basis for CNS is to ensure the plant can achieve and maintain the fuel in a "safe and stable" condition assuming a fire occurs during Mode 1 (Power Operation),
Mode 2 (Startup), or Mode 3 (Hot Shutdown). The Mode 3 applicability for the analysis is defined as being up to the point at which the direct current (DC) breaker for the shutdown cooling suction valve is un-locked and closed, at which point spurious operation of these high/low pressure interface valves can occur due to fire damage to the valve control circuitry.
As part of the transition to NFPA 805, each fire area was evaluated for maintaining safe and stable hot shutdown conditions for a 24 hour coping period through either a "Deterministic Approach" (NFPA 805 Section 4.2.3) or "Performance Based Approach" (NFPA 805 Section 4.2.4). During the 24 hour coping period, the necessary systems and equipment have been evaluated to ensure their capability to achieve a safe and stable fuel condition as described within NFPA Section 1.3 and 1.6.56.
For the most limiting fire scenarios, the NSCA documents the availability of long term decay heat removal provided by water from the torus, with temperature maintained by the Residual Heat Removal (RHR) system operating in the suppression pool cooling mode. Initiation of the RHR system in the suppression pool cooling mode does not imply that the plant would then proceed all the way to cold shutdown. Following stabilization at hot shutdown, a long term strategy for reactivity control, decay heat removal, and inventory/pressure control would be determined based on the extent of equipment damage. If an assessment of the post-fire conditions indicated that placing RHR in the shutdown cooling mode would be advisable, then repair activities would commence, if necessary, in a safe and controlled manner to restore plant equipment necessary for reactor cooldown.
The mitigation strategies, damage assessment procedures, and repair of equipment to maintain safe and stable conditions are to be re-established within the scope of the NFPA 805 program.
Based on the initial achievement of safe and stable conditions in conjunction with the availability of procedural actions, repair of equipment, and initial coping period, recovery of NSCA equipment that may be required beyond 24 hours is qualitatively deemed to have no significant measurable contribution to risk based on the following factors:
* Offsite resources (e.g., equipment, power, vehicles) that could be made available as backups to primary methods of prevention and mitigation.
    "  The expertise of the Technical Support Center and Emergency Operations Facility staff that would be in place and additional expertise that could be made available by phone or transported to these facilities.

      "    Existing Emergency Operating Procedures and other emergency response procedures in place to assist the plant operating staff with an option to proceed and implement actions and/or repairs for the plant to transition to, and enter, Mode 4 (Cold Shutdown), if necessary.
      "    Additional procedures that can be written and reviewed to perform alignments and equipment usage that may be beneficial and are not part of current plant practices or training. Such procedures and equipment usage can cover such a wide spectrum of possibilities that it is judged not useful to develop all possible contingencies at this time.
The above strategies with supporting procedures provides reasonable assurance that the fuel will be maintained in a safe and stable condition following a fire. The revision to existing procedural guidance is to be completed as part of implementation activities (Attachment S, Item S-3.3). Any changes that need to be made during implementation will be resolved using the change evaluation process.
Demonstration of the Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria for safe and stable conditions at CNS was performed in two analyses.
      "    At-Power analysis, Modes 1-3. This analysis is discussed in Section 4.2.4.
      "    Non-Power analysis, which includes portions of Mode 3, Mode 4 and Mode 5.                  This analysis is discussed in Section 4.3.
4.2.1.3 Establishing Recovery Actions Overview of Process NEI 04-02 and RG 1.205 suggest that a licensee submit a summary of its approach for addressing the transition of operator manual actions (OMA) as recovery actions in the LAR (Regulatory Position 2.2.1 and NEI 04-02, Section 4.6). As a minimum, NEI 04-02 suggests that the assumptions, criteria, methodology, and overall results be included for the NRC to determine the acceptability of the licensee's methodology.
The discussion below provides the methodology used to transition pre-transition OMA and to determine the population of post-transition recovery actions. This process is based on FAQ 07-0030 (Ref. 55) and consists of the following steps:
      "    Step 1: Clearly define the primary control station(s) and determine which pre-transition OMAs are taken at primary control station(s) (Activities that occur in the Control Room are not considered pre-transition OMA). Activities that take place at primary control station(s) or in the Control Room are not recovery actions, by definition.
* Step 2: Determine the population of recovery actions that are required to resolve variances from deterministic requirements (VFDR) (to meet the risk acceptance criteria or maintain a sufficient level of defense-in-depth).
* Step 3: Evaluate the additional risk presented by the use of recovery actions required to demonstrate the availability of a success path.
* Step 4: Evaluate the feasibility of the recovery actions.
      "    Step 5: Evaluate the reliability of the recovery actions.

4.2.1.4 Evaluation of Multiple Spurious Operations Overview of Process NEI 04-02 suggests that a licensee submit a summary of its approach for addressing potential fire-induced MSOs for NRC review and approval. As a minimum, NEI 04-02 suggests that the summary contain sufficient information relevant to methods, tools, and acceptance criteria used to enable the NRC to determine the acceptability of the licensee's methodology.                The methodology utilized to address MSOs for CNS is summarized below.
As part of the NFPA 805 transition project, a review and evaluation of CNS susceptibility to fire-induced MSOs was performed. The process was conducted in accordance with NEI 04-02 and RG 1.205, as supplemented by FAQ 07-0038 Revision 3 (Ref. 56). The Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) Generic MSO list dated May 2009 was utilized.
The approach outlined in Figure 4-3 (based on Figure XX from FAQ 07-0038) is one acceptable method to address fire-induced MSOs. This method used insights from the Fire PRA developed in support of transition to NFPA 805 and consists of the following:
    "  Identifying potential MSOs of concern.
    "  Conducting an expert panel to assess plant specific vulnerabilities (e.g., per NEI 00-01, Rev. 2 Section F.4.1).
    "  Updating the Fire PRA model and NSCA to include the MSOs of concern.
    "  Evaluating for NFPA 805 Compliance.
* Documenting Results.
This process is intended to support the transition to a new licensing basis. Post-transition changes will use the RI-PB change process. The post-transition change process for the assessment of a specific MSO is a simplified version of this process, and does not need the level of detail shown in the following section (e.g., An expert panel may not be necessary to identify and assess a new potential MSO. Identification of new potential MSOs may be part of the plant change review process and/or inspection process).

4.2.4        Fire Area Transition Overview of Evaluation Process The Fire Area Transition (NEI 04-02 Table B-3) was performed using the methodology contained in NEI 04-02 and FAQ 08-0054, Revision 1. The methodology for performing the Fire Area Transition, depicted in Figure 4-4, is outlined as follows:
Step 1 - Assembled documentation. Gathered industry and plant-specific fire area analyses and licensing basis documents.
Step 2 - Documented fulfillment of nuclear safety performance criteria.
      "      Assessed accomplishment of nuclear safety performance goals.                      Documented the method of accomplishment, in summary level form, for each fire area.
* Documented evaluation of effects of fire suppression activities.                  Documented the evaluation of the effects of fire suppression activities on the ability to achieve the nuclear safety performance criteria.
* Performed licensing action reviews. Performed a review of the licensing aspects of the selected fire area and document the results of the review. See Section 4.2.3.
* Performed existing engineering equivalency evaluation reviews. Performed a review of existing engineering equivalency evaluations (or create new evaluations) documenting the basis for acceptability. See Section 4.2.2.
      "      Pre-transition OMA reviews. Performed a review of pre-transition OMAs to determine those actions taking place outside of the Control Room or outside of the primary control station(s). See Section 4.2.1.3.
Step 3 - VFDR Identification and characterization and resolution considerations. Identified variances from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805, Section 4.2.3. Documented Page 24

4.3      Non-Power Operational Modes 4.3.1    Overview of Evaluation Process CNS implemented the process outlined in NEI 04-02 and FAQ 07-0040, "Clarification on Non-Power Operations" (Ref. 58). The goal (as depicted in Figure 4-6) is to ensure that contingency plans are established when the plant is in an NPO mode where the risk is intrinsically high.
During low risk periods, normal risk management controls and fire prevention/protection processes and procedures will be utilized.
The process to demonstrate that the nuclear safety performance criteria are met during NPO modes involves the following steps:
* Review the existing Outage Management Processes.
* Identify Equipment/Cables:
o Review plant systems to determine success paths that support each of the defense-in-depth Key Safety Functions (KSFs), and
              " Identify cables required for the selected components and determine their routing.
* Perform Fire Area Assessments (identify pinch points - plant locations where a single fire may damage all success paths of a KSF).
* Manage pinch-points associated with fire-induced vulnerabilities during the outage.
The process is depicted in Figures 4-5 and 4-6. The results are presented in Section 4.3.2.

I*IJ.V 4.3.2    Results of the Evaluation Process Based on FAQ 07-0040 (Revision 4), the Plant Operating States (POS) considered for equipment and cable selection are defined in Calculation NEDC 11-003 "Non-Power Operation Modes Transition Review". Components were identified to support the KSFs of Inventory Control, Decay Heat Removal Capability, and associated support functions (process cooling and electrical power). A model was developed in the NFPA 805 Analysis Database (Genesis Solution Suite, SAFE Module). Equipment was logically tied to the supported KSF. Power supplies, interlocks, and supporting equipment were logically tied to their parent component.
For those components which had not been previously analyzed in support of the at-power analysis or whose functional requirements may have been different for the non-power analysis, cable selection was performed in accordance with approved project procedures. Cables necessary to support the selected function of a component were selected and analyzed for fire impact.
CNS Calculation NEDC 11-003 contains the fire area assessment, the identified pinch points, and general recommendations for administrative controls to reduce that fire risk as well as a proposed strategy for recovering the KSF should a fire occur. In accordance with FAQ 07-0040, any area experiencing fire damage which eliminates all success paths for a KSF (without recovery actions outside the Control Room) is considered a pinch point. Fire modeling was not used to eliminate any fire area from being a pinch point.
The list of generic recommendations specified in NEDC 11-003 considers the following actions from FAQ 07-0040:
* Prohibition or limitation of hot work in fire areas during periods of increased vulnerability
* Verification of operable detection and/or suppression in the vulnerable areas
* Prohibition or limitation of combustible materials in fire areas during periods of increased vulnerability
* Use of plant configuration changes (e.g., removing power from equipment once it is placed in its desired position)
    "    Provision of additional fire patrols at periodic intervals or other appropriate compensatory measures (such as surveillance cameras) during increased vulnerability
    "    Use of recovery actions to mitigate potential losses of key safety functions
    "    Identification and monitoring in-situ ignition sources for "fire precursors" (e.g., equipment temperatures)
* Rescheduling of work to a period with lower risk or higher defense-in-depth Refer to Attachment D for additional details. Based on consideration of the vulnerable areas and incorporation of generic recommendations from FAQ 07-0040 into appropriate plant procedures and practices, prior to implementation of NFPA 805 (See Implementation Item S-3.4 of Attachment S, Table S-3), the performance goals (KSFs) for Non-Power Operations will be fulfilled and the requirements of NFPA 805 will be met.
4.4        Radioactive Release Performance Criteria 4.4.1    Overview of Evaluation Process The review of the FPP against NFPA 805 requirements for fire suppression related radioactive release was performed using the methodology contained in NEI 04-02 and subsequent Page 30

IILLJ  ~~~rr I*~'V guidance provided in NFPA 805 Task Force FAQ 09-0056 (Ref. 59).                              The methodology consisted of the following:
* A review to "screen-out" fire zones based on the lack of potential for contaminated materials during all plant operating modes, including full power and non-power conditions. The screening process considered input from Radiation Protection personnel and review of CNS pre-fire plans. The evaluation focused on radioactive release to any unrestricted area due to fire fighting activities only; radioactive release due to potential fuel cladding damage was not evaluated. The nuclear safety goal, nuclear safety objectives, and nuclear safety performance criteria specified in NFPA 805 require the prevention of fuel cladding damage. As such, radiological release due to fuel damage does not require a separate examination since no such damage is assumed to occur without violating the basic requirements of NFPA 805.
    "  A review of pre-fire plans and fire brigade training materials to identify FPP elements (e.g., systems / components / procedural control actions / flow paths, etc.) that are being credited to meet the radioactive release goals, objectives, and performance criteria during all plant operating modes, including full power and non-power conditions.
    "  A review of engineering controls to ensure containment of gaseous and liquid effluents (e.g., smoke and fire fighting agents). This review included all plant operating modes (including full power and non-power conditions). Otherwise, a bounding analysis, quantitative analysis, or other analysis that demonstrates that the limitations for instantaneous release of radioactive effluents specified in the CNS Technical Specifications are met was provided.
4.4.2  Results of the Evaluation Process CNS Calculation NEDC 10-062, "NFPA 805 Radioactive Release Review," details the results of the screening process and review of pre-fire plans, fire brigade training materials, and engineering controls.
The radioactive release review determined the FPP will be compliant with the requirements of NFPA 805 and the guidance in NEI 04-02 and RG 1.205 upon completion of the implementation items identified in Attachment S.
The site specific review of the direct effects of fire suppression activities on radioactive release is summarized in Attachment E.
4.5      Fire PRA and Performance-Based Approaches RI-PB evaluations are an integral element of an NFPA 805 fire protection program. Key parts of RI-PB evaluations include:
* A Fire PRA (discussed in Section 4.5.1 and Attachments V and W).
* NFPA 805 Performance-Based Approaches (discussed in Section 4.5.2).
4.5.1  Fire PRA Development and Assessment In accordance with the guidance in RG 1.205, a Fire PRA model was developed for CNS in compliance with the requirements of Part 4 "Internal Fires at Power Probabilistic Risk Assessment Requirements," of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and American Nuclear Society (ANS) combined PRA Standard, ASME/ANS RA-Sa 2009, "Standard for Level 1/Large Early Release Frequency Probabilistic Risk Assessment for Nuclear Power Plant Application" (Ref. 60), (hereafter referred to as Fire PRA Standard). CNS conducted a Page 31

The peer review validated the fire risk assessment model used as the analytical tool to perform Fire Risk Evaluations during the transition process.
Section 4.5.1.1 describes the Internal Events PRA model. Section 4.5.1.2 describes the Fire PRA model. Section 4.5.1.3 describes the results and resolution of the peer review of the Fire PRA, and Section 4.5.1.4 describes insights gained from the Fire PRA.
4.5.1.1 Internal Events PRA The CNS base Internal Events PRA (CNS PRA Model 2007TM-R3) was the basis for the Fire PRA.
The CNS Internal Events PRA has undergone a self-assessment by a team of knowledgeable CNS PRA personnel and consultants. In addition, an independent peer review of the CNS Internal Events PRA was completed. The peer review was done in accordance with ASME Standard Capability Category II requirements. The peer review concluded that CNS PRA fully meets the Capability Category II requirements for 289 of the 301 applicable ASME PRA Standard Supporting Requirements (SRs), as modified by RG 1.200, Revision 1. Each of the remaining 12 open SRs, were addressed after completion of the peer review and none of these 12 are expected to impact the technical adequacy of the PRA for supporting NFPA 805.
Attachment U details the 12 open SRs, the actions taken to address them, and the impact on the NFPA 805 application.
4.5.1.2 Fire PRA A Fire PRA model was developed for CNS using the guidance provided in NUREG/CR-6850/EPRI TR-1011989 (including supplement 1), EPRI TR-1016735 (Ref. 62), and draft NUREG-1921 (Ref. 63). Attachment H provides a listing of the approved FAQs that affect the overall license transition process for CNS. The resulting fire risk assessment model is used to support Fire Risk Evaluations during the transition process and to develop estimates of the potential change in fire related risk.
The Fire PRA was developed using the Internal Events PRA as a starting point. The Internal Events PRA was modified to model the effects of fire, both as an initiator and the subsequent potential failure modes for affected circuits or targets. The Fire PRA has been quantified using the CAFTA PRA software. The CNS Fire PRA is documented in a series of reports and calculations associated with each NUREG/CR-6850 Fire PRA task.
An independent peer review was conducted in April 2010 that included a review of the PRA model, data, and documentation in accordance with ASME Standard Capability Category II requirements as well as an assessment of the impacts on the NFPA 805 program. A follow on focused peer review was conducted in February 2011 to specifically address multi-compartment analyses and final results quantification.
Fire PRA quality and insights are discussed in subsequent sections and in Attachments V and W, respectively.
Fire Model Utilization in the Application Fire modeling was performed as part of the Fire PRA development (NFPA 805 Section 4.2.4.2).
RG 1.205, Regulatory Position 4.2 and Section 5.1.2 of NEI 04-02, provide guidance to identify fire models that are acceptable to the NRC for plants implementing a risk-informed, performance-based licensing basis.
The following fire models were used:

    "    Correlation for Heat Release Rates of Cables (Method of Lee)
    "    Correlation for Flame Spread over Horizontal Cable Trays (FLASH-CAT)
The acceptability of the use of these fire models is included in Attachment J. Many of these correlations have been built into a Fire Modeling Workbook utilized for the Fire PRA fire modeling. The Fire Modeling Workbook was verified, by "black box" testing, to ensure that the results were identical to the verified and validated models. "Black box" testing (also called functional testing) is testing that ignores the internal mechanism of a system or component and focuses solely on the outputs generated in response to selected inputs and execution conditions.
The process compared results from the Fire Modeling Workbook to those produced by the NUREG-1805 Fire Dynamic Tools and Fire-Induced Vulnerability Evaluation when identical inputs were entered into both. Since the correlations from NUREG-1805 Fire Dynamic Tools and Fire-Induced Vulnerability Evaluation, Revision 1, were verified and validated in NUREG-1824, and the results match the results produced by the Fire Modeling Workbook, by the transitive property, the Fire Modeling Workbook is verified and validated with respect to NUREG-1824.
The results of this verification are documented in NEDC 10-020, "Verification and Validation of Fire Modeling Tools and Approaches for Use in NFPA 805 and Fire PRA Applications."

Nebraska Pubhlic Power Distric~t                                    CNSI  NFPA 805!Transition Renort 4.5.1.3 Results of Fire PRA Peer Review The CNS Fire PRA was peer reviewed against the requirements of ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009, Part 4. The BWR Owners Group issued the final report in March 2011 containing the results of the peer review. The identification and resolution of the findings are summarized in Attachment V.
All of the findings have either been formally addressed or evaluated to have no significant impact on the Fire PRA and fire risk evaluations. There were 49 SR identified that did not meet Capability Category II. These are summarized in Attachment V with a CNS resolution for this application.
4.5.1.4 Risk Insights Risk insights were documented as part of the development of the Fire PRA. The total plant fire core damage frequency (CDF)/large early release frequency (LERF) was derived using the NUREG/CR-6850 methodology for Fire PRA development and is useful in identifying the areas of the plant where fire risk is greatest. A review of the fire scenarios that individually contribute more than 1% of the calculated fire risk is included as Attachment W.
4.5.2    Performance-Based Approaches NFPA 805 outlines the approaches for performing performance-based analyses. As specified in Section 4.2.4, there are generally two types of analyses performed for the performance-based approach:
    "    Fire Modeling (NFPA 805 Section 4.2.4.1).
    "    Fire Risk Evaluation (NFPA 805 Section 4.2.4.2).
4.5.2.1 Fire Modeling Approach In lieu of the fire modeling approach the fire risk evaluation approach was utilized for the transition.
4.5.2.2 Fire Risk Approach Overview of Evaluation Process The Fire Risk Evaluations were completed as part of the CNS NFPA 805 transition. These Fire Risk Evaluations were developed using the process described below. This methodology is based upon the requirements of NFPA 805, industry guidance in NEI 04-02, and RG 1.205.
These requirements are summarized in Table 4-1.

Recovery Actions (C.2.4)
During the transition to NFPA 805, variances from the deterministic approach in Section 4.2.3 of NFPA 805 were evaluated using a Fire Risk Evaluation per Section 4.2.4.2 of NFPA 805. A Fire Risk Evaluation was performed for each fire area containing variances from the deterministic requirements of Section 4.2.3 of NFPA 805 (VFDR).
If the Fire Risk Evaluation meets the acceptance criteria, this is confirmation that a success path effectively remains free of fire damage and that the performance-based approach is acceptable per Section 4.2.4.2 of NFPA 805.
The Fire Risk Evaluation process consists of the following steps (see Figure 4-7):
Step I - Preparation for the Fire Risk Evaluation
    "  Definition of the Variances from the Deterministic Requirements. The definition of the VFDR includes a description of problem statement and the section of NFPA 805 that is not met, type of VFDR (e.g., separation issue or degraded fire protection system), and proposed evaluation per applicable NFPA 805 section.
* Preparatory Evaluation - Fire Risk Evaluation Team Review. Using the information obtained during the development of the NEI 04-02 B-3 Table and the Fire PRA, a team review of the VFDR was performed. Depending on the scope and complexity of the VFDR, the team included a Safe Shutdown/NSCA Engineer, Fire Protection Engineer, and Fire PRA Engineer. The purpose and objective of this team review was to address the following:
            "    Review Fire PRA modeling treatment of VFDR o    Ensure discrepancies were captured and resolved Step 2 - Performed the Fire Risk Evaluation
* The Evaluator coordinated as necessary with the Safe Shutdown/NSCA Engineer, Fire Protection Engineer and Fire PRA Engineer to assess the VFDR using the Fire Risk Evaluation process to perform the following:
            "    Change in Risk Calculation with consideration for additional risk of recovery actions and required fire protection systems and features due to fire risk.
o  Fire area change in risk summary Step 3 - Reviewed the Acceptance Criteria The acceptance criteria for the Fire Risk Evaluation consist of two parts. One is quantitatively based and the other is qualitatively based. The quantitative figures of merit are ACDF and ALERF. The qualitative factors are defense-in-depth and safety margin.
o    Risk Acceptance Criteria. The transition risk evaluation was measured quantitatively for acceptability using the ACDF and ALERF criteria from RG 1.174, as clarified in RG 1.205 Regulatory Position 2.2.4.

Nebraska Public Power District                                  CNS NFPA 805 Transition Report o  Defense-in-Depth. A review of the impact of the change on defense-in-depth was performed, using the guidance NEI 04-02. NFPA 805 defines defense-in-depth as:
                  -  Preventing fires from starting.
                  -  Rapidly detecting fires and controlling and extinguishing promptly those fires that do occur, thereby limiting damage.
                  -  Providing adequate level of fire protection for structures, systems and components important to safety; so that a fire that is not promptly extinguished will not prevent essential plant safety functions from being performed.
In general, the defense-in-depth requirement was considered to be satisfied if the proposed change does not result in a substantial imbalance among these elements (or echelons).
The review of defense-in-depth was qualitative and addressed each of the elements with respect to the proposed change. Defense-in-depth was performed on a fire area basis.
Fire protection features and systems relied upon to ensure defense-in-depth were identified as a result of the assessment of defense-in-depth.
o  Safety Margin Assessment. A review of the impact of the change on safety margin was performed. Guidelines for making that assessment are summarized below.
                  -  Codes and standards or their alternatives accepted for use by the NRC are met, and
                  -  Safety analysis acceptance criteria in the licensing basis are met, or provides sufficient margin to account for analysis and data uncertainty.
The requirements related to safety margins for the change analysis are described for each of the specific analysis types used in support of the FRE.

L Results of Evaluation Process Disposition of VFDR The ONS NSCA and the NFPA 805 transition project activities have identified a number of variances from the deterministic requirements of NFPA 805 Section 4.2.3. These variances were dispositioned using the fire risk evaluation process.
Each variance dispositioned using a Fire Risk Evaluation was assessed against the Fire Risk Evaluation acceptance criteria of ACDF and ALERF; and maintenance of defense-in-depth and safety margin criteria from Section 5.3.5 of NEI 04-02 and RG 1.205. The results of these calculations are summarized in Attachment C.
Following completion of transition activities and planned modifications and program changes, the plant will be compliant with 10 CFR 50.48(c).
Risk Change Due to NFPA 805 Transition In accordance with the guidance in RG 1.205, Section C.2.2.4, Risk Evaluations, risk increases or decreases for each fire area using Fire Risk Evaluations and the overall plant, are documented. Note that the risk increase due to the use of recovery actions was included in the risk change for transition for each fire area.
RG 1.205, Section C.2.2.4.2 states:
The total increase or decrease in risk associated with the implementation of NFPA 805 for the overall plant should be calculated by summing the risk increases and decreases for each fire area (including any risk increases resulting from previously approved recovery actions). The total risk increase should be consistent with the acceptance guidelines in Regulatory Guide 1.174. Note that the acceptance guidelines of Regulatory Guide 1.174 may require the total CDF, LERF, or both, to evaluate changes where the risk impact exceeds specific guidelines. If the additional risk associated with previously approved recovery actions is greater than the acceptance guidelines in Regulatory Guide 1.174, then the net change in total plant risk incurred by any proposed alternatives to the deterministic criteria in NFPA 805, Chapter 4 (other than the previously approved recovery actions), should be risk neutral or represent a risk decrease.
The risk increases and decreases are provided in Attachment W.
4.6      Monitoring Program NFPA 805 Section 3.2.3(3) requires that procedures be established for reviews of the fire protection program related performance and trends. NFPA 805, Section 2.6 requires a monitoring program that in part is to establish acceptable performance levels and a method to monitor and assess the performance of the fire protection program. The NFPA 805 requirements for reviews of programs related to performance and trending is provided under the NFPA 805 Monitoring program.
The NFPA 805 Monitoring Program, as described in this Section, will be implemented within six months after issuance of the NFPA 805 Transition License Amendment (see Attachment S, Table S-3, Implementation Item S-3.23). In order to assess the impact of the transition to NFPA 805 on the current monitoring program, the CNS fire protection program documentation such as the maintenance program processes, FPP implementing procedures, and plant change processes will be reviewed. Sections 4.5.3 and 5.2 of the NEI 04-02, as modified by FAQ 10-Page 38
 
Nebraska Pubhlic Power District                                      CNS NJPPA 805i Transition Renort 0059 (Ref. 64), will be used during the review process and that process is described in the following sections.
The following scope will be documented appropriately:
* The scope of SSCs and programmatic elements to monitor.
* The levels of availability, reliability, or other criteria for those elements that require monitoring.
4.6.1    Overview of NFPA 805 Requirements for the NFPA 805 Monitoring Program Section 2.6 of NFPA 805 states:
A monitoring program shall be established to ensure that the availabilityand reliabilityof the fire protection systems and features are maintained and to assess the performance of the fire protection program in meeting the performance criteria. Monitoring shall ensure that the assumptions in the engineering analysis remain valid.
The intent of the monitoring review is to confirm the adequacy of the existing surveillance, inspection, testing, compensatory measures, and oversight processes for transition to NFPA 805. This review considers the following:
* The adequacy of the scope of structure, systems and components within existing plant programs,
    " The performance criteria for the availability and reliability of the required structure, systems and components.
* The adequacy of the plant corrective action program in determining causes of equipment and programmatic failures and in minimizing their recurrence.
4.6.2    Overview of Post-Transition NFPA 805 Monitoring Program This section provides an overview of the post-transition NFPA 805 Monitoring Program process.
The monitoring process will be comprised of four phases.
* Phase 1 - Scoping
* Phase 2 - Screening Using Risk Criteria
* Phase 3 - Risk Target Value Determination
* Phase 4 - Monitoring Implementation Figure 4-8 provides an overview of the Monitoring Process, while Figure 4-9 provides detail on a process for Phases 1 and 2.

Phase I - Scoping In order to meet the NFPA 805 requirements for monitoring, the following categories of SSC and programmatic elements will be included in the NFPA 805 monitoring program:
      "    Structures, Systems, and Components required to comply with NFPA 805, specifically:
o  Fire protection systems and features
                    - Required by the Nuclear Safety Capability Assessment
                    - Modeled in the Fire PRA
                    - Required by Chapter 3 of NFPA 805 6
o  Nuclear Safety Capability Assessment equipment
                    - Nuclear safety equipment
                    - Fire PRA equipment
                    - NPO equipment o  SSCs relied upon to meet radioactive release criteria
      "    Fire Protection Programmatic Elements Phase 2 - Screening Using Risk Criteria The equipment from Phase 1 scoping will be screened to determine the appropriate level of NFPA 805 monitoring. As a minimum, the SSC identified in Phase 1 will be part of an inspection and test program and system/program health program. If not in the current program, the SSC will be added in order to assure that the criteria can be met reliably.
The following screening process will be used to determine those SSCs that may require additional monitoring beyond normal surveillance activities.
: 1. Fire Protection Systems and Features Those fire protection systems and features identified in Phase 1 will be candidates for additional monitoring in the NFPA 805 program commensurate with risk significance.
Risk significance will be accomplished at the component, programmatic element, and/or functional level. Since risk will be evaluated at the compartment level or fire area level, criteria must be developed to determine those analysis units for which the fire protection SSCs contained within the area are considered risk significant. Screening compartments and fire areas will also include considerations for design/operation/maintenance limitations. For instance, fire detection will not subdivide systems beyond the system/train/channel level used in normal operation/maintenance.
The Fire PRA is the primary tool used to establish the risk significance criteria and performance bounding guidelines. Screening thresholds used to determine risk significant analysis units will be those that meet the following criteria:
Risk Achievement Worth (RAW) of the monitored parameter a 2.0 6 For the purposes of the NFPA 805 Monitoring, "NSCA equipment" is intended to include Nuclear Safety Equipment, Fire PRA equipment, and NPO equipment.

Large Early Release Frequency (LERF) x (RAW) > 1.OE-8 per year CDF, LERF, and RAW(monitored parameter) will be calculated for each fire area. The 'monitored parameter' will be established at a level commensurate with the amenability of the parameter to risk measurement (e.g., a fire barrier may be more conducive to risk measurement than an individual barrier penetration). If compartments are used that are smaller than fire areas, sufficient basis will be documented.
The monitoring program will include the appropriate Fire Protection Program SSC based on the criteria above. Additional Fire Protection Program SSC may also be screened in based on plant-specific considerations.
: 2. Nuclear Safety Capability Assessment Equipment NSCA equipment may already be appropriately monitored by the Maintenance Rule. A comparison of NSCA equipment to the SSCs that are monitored in the Maintenance Rule program will be performed to determine what equipment may require additional NFPA 805 Monitoring. For NSCA SSC not monitored by the Maintenance Rule, the basis for inclusion or exclusion of the SSC in the NFPA 805 monitoring program will be documented.
The Fire PRA will be used to identify high-safety-significant (HSS) NSCA SSC that require monitoring. The Maintenance Rule guidelines differentiating HSS from low-safety-significant (LSS) SSC will be used. HSS NSCA SSC not currently monitored in Maintenance Rule will be included in the Maintenance Rule program. NSCA SSC that are not HSS will be considered LSS, and need not be included in the monitoring program.
For fires originating during non-power operational modes, the qualitative use of fire prevention to manage fire risk during Higher Risk Evolutions does not lend itself to quantitative risk measurement. Therefore, fire risk management effectiveness is monitored programmatically similar to combustible material controls and other fire prevention programs. Additional monitoring beyond inspection and test programs and system/program health programs is not considered necessary.
: 3. SSCs Relied upon for Radioactive Release Criteria The evaluations performed to meet the radioactive release performance criteria are qualitative in nature. The SSC relied upon to meet the radioactive release performance criteria are not amenable to quantitative risk measurement. Additionally, since 10 CFR Part 20 limits (which are lower than releases due to core damage and containment breach) for radiological effluents are not being exceeded, equipment relied upon to meet the radioactive release performance criteria is considered inherently low risk. Therefore, additional monitoring beyond inspection and test programs and system/program health programs is not considered necessary.
: 4. Monitoring of Fire Protection Programmatic Elements Monitoring of programmatic elements is required in order to "assess the performance of the fire protection program in meeting the performance criteria". Programmatic aspects include:
      "    Transient Combustible Control; Transient Exclusion Zones
      "  Hot Work Control; Administrative Controls
* Fire Watch Programs; Program compliance and effectiveness Page 43
 
Nphr.q-,k.q Ptihlir  PnwPrniqtrirt                                fN5S NFPA 805 Transition Renort Poer Dstrit Nebrska  ubli
* Fire Brigade Effectiveness Fire protection health reports, self-assessments, regulator and insurance company reports provide inputs to the monitoring program. The monitoring of programmatic elements and program effectiveness will be performed as part of the management of engineering programs.
This monitoring is more qualitative in nature since the programs do not lend themselves to the numerical methods of reliability and availability. These programs form the bases for many of the analytical assumptions used to evaluate compliance with NFPA 805 requirements.
Phase 3 - Risk Target Value Determination Phase 3 consists of using the Fire PRA, or other processes as appropriate, to determine target values of reliability and availability for the HSS fire protection/NSCA SSC and programmatic elements established in Phase 2 as requiring additional monitoring beyond inspection and test programs and system/program health programs.
Failure criteria will be established by an expert panel or evaluation based on the required fire protection and nuclear safety capability SSC and programmatic elements assumed level of performance in the supporting analyses. Action levels will be established for the SSC at the component level, program level, or functionally through the use of the pseudo system or Iperformance monitoring group' concept. An action level will be developed for the NSCA SSC that are included in a monitoring program.
Since the HSS SSC will be identified using the Maintenance Rule guidelines, the associated SSC specific performance criteria will be established as in the Maintenance Rule, provided the criteria are consistent with Fire PRA assumptions. The actual action level is determined based on the number of component, program or functional failures within a sufficiently bounding time period (-2-3 operating cycles). Adverse trends and unacceptable levels of availability, reliability, and performance will be reviewed against established action levels. The Monitoring Program failure criteria and action level targets will be documented.
Phase 4 - Monitoring Implementation Phase 4 is the implementation of the monitoring program, once the monitoring scope and criteria are established. Monitoring consists of periodically gathering, trending, and evaluating information pertinent to the performance, and/or availability of the SSC and comparing the results with the established goals and performance criteria to verify that the goals are being met.
Results of monitoring activities will be analyzed in timely manner to assure that appropriate action is taken. The corrective action process will be used to address performance of fire protection and nuclear safety SSC that do not meet performance criteria.
For fire protection and NSCA SSC that are monitored, unacceptable levels of availability, reliability, and performance will be reviewed against the established action levels. If an action level is triggered, corrective action will be initiated to identify the negative trend. A corrective action plan will then be developed using the appropriate CNS process. Once the plan has been implemented, improved performance will return the SSC back to below the established action level.
A periodic assessment will be performed (e.g., at a frequency of approximately every two to three operating cycles), taking into account, where practical, industry wide operating experience. This may be conducted as part of other established assessment activities. Issues that will be addressed include:
* Review systems with performance criteria. Do performance criteria still effectively monitor the functions of the system? Do the criteria still monitor the effectiveness of the fire protection and nuclear safety capability assessment systems?

    "  Based on the performance during the assessment period, are there any trends in system performance that should be addressed that are not being addressed?
4.7      Program Documentation, Configuration Control, and Quality Assurance 4.7.1  Compliance with Documentation Requirements in Section 2.7.1 of NFPA 805 In accordance with the requirements and guidance in NFPA 805 Section 2.7.1 and NEI 04-02, NPPD has documented analyses to support compliance with 10 CFR 50.48(c). The analyses are being performed in accordance with CNS processes for ensuring assumptions are clearly defined, that results are easily understood, that results are clearly and consistently described, and that sufficient detail is provided to allow future review of the entire analyses.
Analyses, as defined by NFPA 805 Section 2.4, performed to demonstrate compliance with 10 CFR 50.48(c) will be maintained for the life of the plant and organized to facilitate review for accuracy and adequacy. Note these analyses do not include items such as periodic tests, hot work permits, fire impairments, etc.
The Fire Protection Design Basis Document described in Section 2.7.1.2 of NFPA 805 and necessary supporting documentation described in Section 2.7.1.3 of NFPA 805 will be created as part of transition to 10 CFR 50.48(c) to ensure program implementation following receipt of the safety evaluation.        (See Implementation Item S-3.5 of Attachment S, Table S-3).
Appropriate cross references will be established to supporting documents as required by CNS processes. Figure 4-10 depicts the planned post-transition documentation and relationships.

This includes the appropriate procedures and configuration control processes for ensuring that changes impacting the fire protection program are reviewed appropriately. The RI-PB post-transition change process methodology is based upon the requirements of NFPA 805, and industry guidance in NEI 04-02, and RG 1.205. These requirements are summarized in Table 4-2.

RG 1.205                  C.2.2.4, C.3.1, C.3.2, C.4.3    Risk Evaluation, Standard License Condition, Change Evaluation Process, Fire PRA The Plant Change Evaluation Process required under the revised Fire Protection License Condition will consist of the following 4 steps and is depicted in Figure 4-1 1:
* Defining the Change
* Performing the Preliminary Risk Screening
* Performing the Risk Evaluation
    "  Evaluating the Acceptance Criteria Change Definition The Change Evaluation process begins by defining the change or altered condition to be examined and the baseline configuration as defined by the Design Basis and Licensing Basis (NFPA 805 Licensing Basis post-transition).
: 1) The baseline is defined as that plant condition or configuration that is consistent with the Design Basis and Licensing Basis (NFPA 805 Licensing Basis post-transition).
: 2) The changed or altered condition or configuration that is not consistent with the Design Basis and Licensing Basis is defined as the proposed alternative.
Preliminary Risk Review Once the definition of the change is established, a screening will then be performed to identify and resolve minor changes to the fire protection program. This screening will be consistent with fire protection regulatory review processes currently in place at CNS. This screening process will be modeled after the NEI 02-03 process. This process will address most administrative changes (e.g., changes to the combustible control program, organizational changes, etc.).
Page 47
 
Mahmck-m P"hfir PmAjor    niefrit-f                            rCKNq KNiPPA Afl5 Trnnc~ifien Po nr*
The characteristics of an acceptable screening process that meets the "assessment of the acceptability of risk" requirement of Section 2.4.4 of NFPA 805 are:
    "  The quality of the screen is sufficient to ensure that potentially greater than minimal risk increases receive detailed risk assessments appropriate to the level of risk.
* The screening process must be documented and be available for inspection by the NRC.
* The screening process does not pose undue evaluation or maintenance burden.
If any of the above is not met, proceed to the Risk Evaluation step.
Risk Evaluation The screening will be followed by engineering evaluations that may include fire modeling and risk assessment techniques. The results of these evaluations will then be compared to the acceptance criteria. Changes that satisfy the acceptance criteria of NFPA 805 Section 2.4.4 and the license condition can be implemented within the framework provided by NFPA 805.
Changes that do not satisfy the acceptance criteria cannot be implemented within this framework. The acceptance criteria will require that the resultant change in CDF and LERF be consistent with the license condition. The acceptance criteria will also include consideration of defense-in-depth and safety margin, which would typically be qualitative in nature.
The risk evaluation will involve the application of fire modeling analyses and risk assessment techniques to obtain a measure of the changes in risk associated with the proposed change. In certain circumstances, an initial evaluation in the development of the risk assessment may be a simplified analysis using bounding assumptions provided the use of such assumptions does not unnecessarily challenge the acceptance criteria discussed below.
Acceptability Determination The Change Evaluations will be assessed for acceptability using the ACDF (change in core damage frequency) and ALERF (change in large early release frequency) criteria from the license condition. The proposed changes will also be assessed to ensure they are consistent with the defense-in-depth philosophy and that sufficient safety margins are maintained.

To the greatest extent possible, the existing configuration control processes for modifications, calculations and analyses, and Fire Protection Program License Basis Reviews will be utilized to maintain configuration control of the Fire Protection program documents. The configuration control procedures which govern the various CNS documents and databases that currently exist will be revised to reflect the new NFPA 805 licensing bases requirements. See Implementation Item S-3.27 of Attachment S, Table S-3.
Several NFPA 805 document types such as: NSCA supporting information, Non-Power Mode Review, Fire Modeling Calculations, Fire Safety Assessments, risk evaluations, etc., generally require new control procedures and processes to be developed since they are new documents and databases created as a result of the transition to NFPA 805. The new procedures will be modeled after the existing processes for similar types of documents and databases. See Implementation Item S-3.28 of Attachment S, Table S-3.
System level design basis documents will be revised to reflect the NFPA 805 role that the system components now play. The new procedures will be developed and existing documentation revised as part of LAR implementation. See Implementation Item S-3.29 of Attachment S, Table S-3.
The process for capturing the impact of proposed changes to the plant on the Fire Protection Program will continue to be a multiple step review. The first step of the review will be an initial screening for process users to determine if there is a potential to impact the Fire Protection Program as defined under NFPA 805 through a series of screening questions/checklists contained in one or more procedures depending upon the configuration control process being used. Reviews that identify potential program impacts will be sent to qualified individuals (Fire Protection, NSCA, Fire PRA) to ascertain the program impacts, if any. If Fire Protection Program impacts are determined to exist as a result of the proposed change, the issue would be resolved by one of the following:
* Deterministic Approach: Comply with NFPA 805 Chapter 3 and 4.2.3 requirements
* Performance-Based Approach: Utilize the NFPA 805 change process developed in accordance with NEI 04-02, RG 1.205, and the CNS NFPA 805 fire protection license condition to assess the acceptability of the proposed change. This process will be used to determine if the proposed change could be implemented "as-is" or whether prior NRC approval of the proposed change is required.
This process follows the requirements in NFPA 805 and the guidance outlined in RG 1.174 which requires the use of qualified individuals, procedures that require calculations be subject to independent review and verification, record retention, peer review, and a corrective action program that ensures appropriate actions are taken when errors are discovered.
4.7.3    Compliance with Quality Requirements in Section 2.7.3 of NFPA 805 Fire Protection Program Quality NPPD will maintain the existing Fire Protection Quality Assurance program as outlined in the CNS Quality Assurance Program for Operation - Policy Document (QAPD) (Ref. 65), as implemented by CNS Quality Assurance procedures. The FPP procedures will be revised to specify application of the NFPA 805 Section 2.7.3 quality requirements (see Implementation Action S-3.8 of Attachment S, Table S-3).
During the transition to 10 CFR 50.48(c), NPPD performed work in accordance with the quality requirements of Section 2.7.3 of NFPA 805.

Nebraska Public Power District                                CNS NFPA 805 Tmnsitinn Rpnort Fire PRA Quality Configuration control of the Fire PRA model will be maintained by integrating the Fire PRA model into the existing processes used to ensure configuration control of the internal events PRA model. This process conforms with Section 1-5 of the ASME Standard for PRA Quality and ensures that CNS maintains an as-built, as-operated PRA model of the plant. The process has been peer reviewed. Quality assurance of the Fire PRA is assured via the same processes applied to the internal events model.
Specific Requirements of NFPA 805 Section 2.7.3 NFPA 805 Section 2.7.3.1 - Review Analyses, calculations, and evaluations performed in support of compliance with 10 CFR 50.48(c) were performed in accordance with CNS procedures that require independent review.
NFPA 805 Section 2.7.3.2 - Verification and Validation Calculational models and numerical methods used in support of compliance                      with 10 CFR 50.48(c) were verified and validated as required by Section 2.7.3.2 of NFPA 805.
NFPA 805 Section 2.7.3.3 - Limitations of Use Engineering methods and numerical models used in support of compliance with 10 CFR 50.48(c) were used and were used appropriately as required by Section 2.7.3.3 of NFPA 805.
NFPA 805 Section 2.7.3.4 - Qualification of Users Cognizant personnel who use and apply engineering analysis and numerical methods in support of compliance with 10 CFR 50.48(c) are competent and experienced as required by Section 2.7.3.4 of NFPA 805.
During the transition to 10 CFR 50.48(c), work was performed in accordance with the quality requirements of Section 2.7.3 of NFPA 805. Personnel who used and applied engineering analysis and numerical methods (e.g. fire modeling) in support of compliance with 10 CFR 50.48(c) are competent and experienced as required by NFPA 805 Section 2.7.3.4.
For personnel performing fire modeling or Fire PRA development and evaluation, NPPD will develop and maintain qualification requirements for individuals assigned various tasks. Position Specific Guides will be developed to identify and document required training and mentoring to ensure individuals are appropriately qualified per the requirements of NFPA 805 Section 2.7.3.4 to perform assigned work (see Implementation Item S-3.15 of Attachment S, Table S-3).
NFPA 805 Section 2.7.3.5 - Uncertainty Analysis Uncertainty analyses were performed as required by 2.7.3.5 of NFPA 805 and the results were considered in the context of the application. This is of particular interest in fire modeling and Fire PRA development used to support performance-based approach. However, it is not required for deterministic approach calculations per 10 CFR 50.48(c)(2)(iv).

Nebraska Public Power District                                    CNS NFPA 805 Transition ReDort 4.8      Summary of Results 4.8.1  Results of the Fire Area Review A summary of the NFPA 805 compliance basis and the required fire protection systems and features is provided in Table 4-3. The table provides the following information from the NEI 04-02 Table B-3 (which is provided in Attachment C):
* Fire Area / Fire Zone: Fire Area/Zone Identifier.
 
== Description:==
Fire Area/Zone Description.
* NFPA 805 Regulatory Basis: Post-transition NFPA 805 Chapter 4 compliance basis (Note: Compliance is determined on a Fire Area basis therefore a compliance basis is not provided for individual fire zones.)
    "  Required Fire Protection System / Feature: Detection / suppression required in the Fire Area based on NFPA 805 Chapter 4 compliance. Other Required Features may include Electrical Raceway Fire Barrier Systems, fire barriers, etc. The documentation of required fire protection systems and features does not include the documentation of the fire area boundaries. Fire area boundaries are required and documentation of the fire area boundaries has been performed as part of reviews of engineering evaluations, licensing actions, or as part of the reviews of the NEI 04-02 Table B-1 process. The information is provided on a zone basis. The basis for the requirement of the fire protection system / feature is designated as follows:
            "  S - Separation Criteria: Systems required for Chapter 4 Separation Criteria in Section 4.2.3 o  L - Licensing Action Criteria: Systems required for acceptability of NRC approved Licensing Action (i.e., Exemptions/Safety Evaluations) (Section 2.2.7) o  E - EEEE Criteria: Systems required for acceptability of Existing Engineering Equivalency Evaluations (Section 2.2.7) o  R - Risk Criteria:        Systems required to meet the Risk Criteria for the Performance-Based Approach (Section 4.2.4) o  D - Defense-In-Depth Criteria: Systems required to maintain adequate balance of Defense-in-Depth for a Performance-Based Approach (Section 4.2.4)
Attachment W contains the results of the Fire Risk Evaluations, additional risk of recovery actions, and the change in risk on a fire area basis.
4.8.2  Plant Modifications and Items to be Completed During the Implementation Phase Planned modifications, training, programs, procedure changes, and evaluations to comply with NFPA 805 are described in Attachment S.
The Fire PRA model represents the as-built, as-operated and maintained plant as it will be configured at the completion of the transition to NFPA 805. The Fire PRA model includes credit for the implementation of the modifications identified in Attachment S. Following completion of the modifications and implementation items listed in Attachment S, additional refinements may need to be incorporated into the Fire PRA model. However, these changes are not expected to be significant and will likely result in additional risk improvement in areas where limited credit for the proposed modifications were taken. No other significant plant changes are outstanding with respect to their inclusion in the Fire PRA model.

==5.0      REGULATORY EVALUATION==
 
5.1      Introduction - 10 CFR 50.48 On July 16, 2004, the NRC amended 10 CFR 50.48, Fire Protection, to add a new subsection, 10 CFR 50.48(c), which establishes alternative fire protection requirements. 10 CFR 50.48 endorses, with exceptions, NFPA 805, Performance-Based Standard for Fire Protection for Light Water Reactor Electric Generating Plants - 2001 Edition (NFPA 805), as a voluntary alternative for demonstrating compliance with 10 CFR 50.48 Section (b), Appendix R, and Section (f), Decommissioning.
The voluntary adoption of 10 CFR 50.48(c) by CNS does not eliminate the need to comply with 10 CFR 50.48(a) and 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, General Design Criterion (GDC) 3, Fire Protection.      The NRC addressed the overall adequacy of the regulations during the promulgation of 10 CFR 50.48(c) (Reference FR Notice 69 FR 33536 dated June 16, 2004, ML041340086).
NFPA 805 does not supersede the requirements of GDC 3, 10 CFR 50.48(a), or 10 CFR 50.48(o. Those regulatory requirements continue to apply to licensees that adopt NFPA 805. However, under NFPA 805, the means by which GDC 3 or 10 CFR 50.48(a) requirements may be met is different than under 10 CFR 50.48(b). Specifically, whereas GDC 3 refers to SSCs important to safety, NFPA 805 identifies fire protection systems and features required to meet the Chapter 1 performance criteria through the methodology in Chapter 4 of NFPA 805. Also, under NFPA 805, the 10 CFR 50.48(a)(2)(iii) requirement to limit fire damage to SSCs important to safety so that the capability to safely shut down the plant is ensured is satisfied by meeting the performance criteria in Section 1.5.1 of NFPA 805. The Section 1.5.1 criteria include provisions for ensuring that reactivity control, inventory and pressure control, decay heat removal, vital auxiliaries,and process monitoring are achieved and maintained.
This methodology specifies a process to identify the fire protection systems and features required to achieve the nuclear safety performance criteria in Section 1.5 of NFPA 805.
Once a determination has been made that a fire protection system or feature is required to achieve the performance criteria of Section 1.5, its design must meet any applicable requirements of NFPA 805, Chapter 3. Having identified the required fire protection systems and features, the licensee selects either a deterministic or performance-basedapproach to demonstrate that the performance criteria are satisfied. This process satisfies the GDC 3 requirement to design and locate SSCs important to safety to minimize the probability and effects of fires and explosions.
(Reference FR Notice 69 FR 33536 dated June 16, 2004, ML041340086)
The new rule provides actions that may be taken to establish compliance with 10 CFR 50.48(a),
which requires each operating nuclear power plant to have a fire protection program plan that satisfies GDC 3, as well as specific requirements in that section. The transition process described in 10 CFR 50.48(c)(3)(ii) provides, in pertinent parts, that a licensee intending to adopt the new rule must, among other things, "modify the fire protection plan required by paragraph (a) of that section to reflect the licensee's decision to comply with NFPA 805."
Therefore, to the extent that the contents of the existing fire protection program plan required by 10 CFR 50.48(a) are inconsistent with NFPA 805, the fire protection program plan must be modified to achieve compliance with the requirements in NFPA 805. All other requirements of 10 CFR 50.48 (a) and GDC 3 have corresponding requirements in NFPA 805.

NPPD determined that the changes to the Technical Specifications and applicable justification listed in Attachment N are adequate for the CNS adoption of the new fire protection licensing basis.
5.2.3    Orders and Exemptions A review was conducted of the NPPD docketed correspondence to determine if there were any orders or exemptions that needed to be superseded or revised. A review was also performed to ensure that compliance with the physical protection requirements, security orders, and adherence to those commitments applicable to the plant are maintained. A discussion of affected orders and exemptions is included in Attachment 0.
5.3        Regulatory Evaluations 5.3.1    No Significant Hazards Consideration A written evaluation of the significant hazards consideration of a proposed license amendment is required by 10 CFR 50.92. According to 10 CFR 50.92, a proposed amendment to an operating license involves no significant hazards consideration if operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment would not:
* Involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; or
    "    Create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated; or
* Involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
This evaluation is contained in Attachment Q.
Based on the considerations discussed above, (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public. NPPD has evaluated the proposed amendment and determined that it involves no significant hazards consideration.
5.3.2    Environmental Consideration Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), an evaluation of the proposed amendment has been performed to determine whether it meets the criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c).
That evaluation is discussed in Attachment R. The evaluation confirms that the proposed amendment meets the criteria set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9) for categorical exclusion from the need for an environmental impact assessment or statement.
5.4        Revision to the Updated Safety Analysis Report After the approval of the LAR, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.71(e), the CNS USAR will be revised. The CNS Updated Safety Analysis Report is not formatted per RG 1.70, but will incorporate the applicable subject matter described in FAQ 12-0062, at a level of detail consistent with NEI 98-03, "Guidelines for Updating Final Safety Analysis Reports." See Implementation Item S-26 of Attachment S, Table S-3.

The plant-specific analysis approved by NRC is reflected in the plant's licensing basis. The methodology described in this section is also an acceptable method of performing a post-fire safe shutdown analysis. This methodology is indicated in Figure 3-1. Other methods acceptable to NRC may also be used. Regardless of the method selected by an individual licensee, the criteria and assumptions provided in this guidance document may apply. The methodology described in Section 3 is based on a computer database oriented approach, which is utilized by several licensees to model Appendix R data relationships. This guidance document, however, does not require the use of a computer database oriented approach.
The requirements of Appendix R Sections Ill.G.1, III.G.2 and III.G.3 apply to equipment and cables required for achieving and maintaining safe shutdown in any fire area. Although equipment and cables for fire detection and suppression systems, communications systems and 8-hour emergency lighting systems are important features, this guidance document does not address them.

It also provides information on the process for combining these systems into safe shutdown paths. Appendix R Section III.G.1 .a requires that the capability to achieve and maintain hot shutdown be free of fire damage. It is expected that the term "free of fire damage" will be further clarified in a forthcoming Regulatory Issue Summary. Appendix R Section Ill.G.1 .b requires that repairs to systems and equipment necessary to achieve and maintain cold shutdown be completed within 72 hours. It is the intent of the NRC that requirements related to the use of manual operator actions will be addressed in a forthcoming rulemaking.
The goal of post-fire safe shutdown is to assure that a one train of shutdown systems, structures, and components remains free of fire damage for a single fire in any single plant fire area. This goal is accomplished by determining those functions important to achieve and maintain hot shutdown. Safe shutdown systems are selected so that the capability to perform these required functions is a part of each safe shutdown path. The functions important to post-fire safe shutdown generally include, but are not limited to the following:
                                    - Reactivity Control
                                    - Pressure Control Systems
                                    - Inventory Control Systems
                                    - Decay Heat Removal Systems
                                    - Process Monitoring
                                    - Support Systems
* Electrical systems
* Cooling systems These functions are of importance because they have a direct bearing on the safe shutdown goal of being able to achieve and maintain hot shutdown which ensures the integrity of the fuel, the reactor pressure vessel, and the primary containment. If these functions are preserved, then the plant will be safe because the fuel, the reactor and the primary containment will not be damaged. By assuring that this equipment is not damaged and remains functional, the protection of the health and safety of the public is assured.
In addition to the above listed functions, Generic Letter 81-12 specifies consideration of associated circuits with the potential for spurious equipment operation and/or loss of power source, and the common enclosure failures. Spurious operations/actuations can affect the accomplishment of the post-fire safe shutdown functions listed above. Typical examples of the effects of the spurious operations of concern are the following:
                                    - A loss of reactor pressure vessel/reactor coolant inventory in excess of the safe shutdown makeup capability Page B-4
 
Nebraska Public Power District                                                                                  CNS NFPA 805 Transition Report - Attachment B Attachment B - NEI 04-02 TABLE B Nuclear Safety Capability Assessment Methodology Review NFPA 805 Section: 2.4.2.1 Nuclear Safety Capability Systems and Equipment Selection
                                            - A flow loss or blockage in the inventory makeup or decay heat removal systems being used for the required safe shutdown path.
Spurious operations are of concern because they have the potential to directly affect the ability to achieve and maintain hot shutdown, which could affect the fuel and cause damage to the reactor pressure vessel or the primary containment.
Common power source and common enclosure concerns could also affect these and must be addressed.
Aoolicabilitv                              Comments Applicable                                  None Alignment Statement Aligns Alignment Basis CNS systems / functions components required to achieve and maintain "safe and stable" plant conditions post-fire per the Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria of NFPA 805 are identified in CNS Calculation NEDC 11-019, Section 9.0, Nuclear Safety Capability Assessment Analysis Model Development.
NFPA 805 allows more flexibility than the previous deterministic programs based on 10 CFR 50 Appendix R (and NEI 00-01, Chapter 3) since NFPA 805 only requires the licensee to maintain the fuel in a safe and stable condition. NFPA 805, Section 1.6.56 defines safe and stable condition. For CNS to be in a safe and stable condition, it will not be necessary to perform a transition to cold shutdown as currently required under 10 CFR 50, Appendix R.
The identification and analysis of these systems / functions / components includes addressing associated circuit issues for spurious operations, high/low pressure interfaces, common power supplies, and common enclosures.
A computer database tool, EDISON/SAFE, is utilized to demonstrate that the Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria of NFPA 805 are met for each fire area of the plant.

The safety relief valves within ADS are credited to rapidly depressurize the reactor to allow for the use of the low pressure systems in lieu of the high pressure systems for reactor makeup. LPCI is modeled within the analysis but is not the preferred method of low pressure makeup.

Alternative shutdown capability is determined based on an inability to assure the availability of a redundant safe shutdown path. Compliance to the separation requirements of Sections III.G.1 and III.G.2 may be supplemented by the use of manual actions to the extent allowed by the regulations and the licensing basis of the plant, repairs (cold shutdown only), exemptions, deviations, GL 86-10 fire hazards analyses or fire protection design change evaluations, as appropriate. These may also be used in conjunction with alternative shutdown capability.
Applicability                            Comments Applicable                                None Alignment Statement Aligns Alignment Basis Alternate shutdown capability is provided at CNS as a redundant path exterior to the Main Control Room. Alternative shutdown capability is comprised of 3 control panels in the Alternate Shutdown Room. These control panels provide isolation, control and indication for ADS, HPCI, RHR and REC. CNS Operations Emergency Procedure 5.4FIRE-S/D, "Fire Induced Shutdown From Outside the Control Room," governs the use of the Alternate Shutdown Panels.
Unlike 10 CFR 50 Appendix R, NFPA 805 makes no distinction for alternate and dedicated shutdown. Alternate Shutdown Panels are the primary control stations for implementation of the 10 CFR 50 Appendix R alternate shutdown strategy in the event of a fire that requires the evacuation of the Main Control Room. Based on the definition provided in RG 1.205, and the additional guidance provided in FAQ 07-0030 Revision 5 (ML110070485), Alternate Shutdown Panels are also considered to be the Primary Control Station for NFPA 805.
The use of Alternate Shutdown Panels have been transitioned to NFPA 805 as the Primary Control Stations for meeting the NSPC in the event of a fire that requires evacuation of the Main Control Room.

Offsite power should be assumed to remain available for those cases where its availability may adversely impact safety (i.e.,
reliance cannot be placed on fire causing a loss of offsite power if the consequences of offsite power availability are more severe than its presumed loss). No credit should be taken for a fire causing a loss of offsite power. For areas where train separation cannot be achieved and alternative shutdown capability is necessary, shutdown must be demonstrated both where offsite power is available and where offsite power is not available for 72 hours.

Offsite power can be used as a source of power for the NSCA, if desired. All equipment required to support the portion of offsite power relied upon to achieve the NSPC has been included in the NSCA model.
The electrical distribution systems in the CNS NSCA, inclusive of offsite power capability, is addressed in Section 9.1 of this calculation and is intertwined at the component level and not modeled as a stand-alone system.
Per Section 1.3.1 of NFPA 805, given a fire, a plant is not required to transition to cold shutdown within 72 hours but instead provides reasonable assurance to achieve and maintain the fuel in a safe and stable condition. For CNS, the required end state of "safe and stable" under NFPA 805 will be met when the plant is in a stable hot shutdown configuration.

Fire-induced impacts that provide no adverse consequences to hot shutdown within this 72-hour period need not be included in the post-fire safe shutdown analysis. At least one train can be repaired or made operable within 72 hours using onsite capability to achieve cold shutdown.
Applicability                              Comments Applicable                                None Alignment Statement Aligns Alignment Basis Per Section 1.3.1 of NFPA 805, given a fire, a plant is not required to transition to cold shutdown within 72 hours, but instead provides reasonable assurance to achieve and maintain the fuel in a safe and stable condition. For CNS, the required end state of "safe and stable" under NFPA 805 will be met when the plant is in a stable hot shutdown configuration.
The nuclear safety goals, objectives and performance criteria of NFPA 805, as discussed above, allow more flexibility than the previous deterministic programs based on 10 CFR 50 Appendix R (and NEI 00-01, Chapter 3) since NFPA 805 only requires the licensee to maintain the fuel in a safe and stable condition rather than achieve and maintain cold shutdown.
NFPA 805, Section 1.6.56, defines Safe and Stable Conditions as follows:
"For fuel in the reactor vessel, head on and tensioned, safe and stable conditions are defined as the ability to maintain K<0.99, with a reactor coolant temperature at or below the requirements for hot shutdown for a boiling water reactor and hot standby for a pressurized water reactor. For all other configurations, safe and stable conditions are defined as maintaining K <0.99 and fuel coolant temperature below boiling."
The nuclear safety goal of NFPA 805 requires "...reasonable assurance that a fire during any operational mode and plant configuration will not prevent the plant from achieving and maintaining the fuel in a safe and stable condition," without a specific reference to a mission time or event coping duration.
For CNS to be in a safe and stable condition, it will not be necessary to perform a transition to cold shutdown as currently required under 10 CFR 50, Appendix R.
Therefore, the unit will remain at or below the temperature defined by a hot shutdown plant operating state for the event.

Applicability                              Comments Applicable                                None Alicqnment Statement Aligns Alignment Basis Decay Heat is removed initially by natural circulation within the reactor pressure vessel and automatic mechanical operation of the SRVs. The SRVs discharge steam from the reactor vessel to the suppression pool. The emerging steam is condensed in this pool, and the heat absorbed by the suppression pool is removed by the RHR System operating in the Suppression Pool Cooling (SPC) mode and ultimately transferred to the river via the Service Water (SW) System. The required system logics for suppression pool cooling include satisfying net positive suction head requirements.
As pointed out in Section 1.3.1 of NFPA 805, given a fire, a plant is not required to transition to cold shutdown within 72 hours, but instead provide reasonable assurance to achieve and maintain the fuel in a safe and stable condition.

For redundant safe shutdown performed in accordance with the requirements of Appendix R Section III.G.1 and 2, power may be supplied from either offsite power sources or the emergency diesel generator depending on which has been demonstrated to be free of fire damage. No credit should be taken for a fire causing a loss of offsite power. Refer to Section 3.1.1.7.
DC Distribution System Typically, the 125VDC distribution system supplies DC control power to various 125VDC control panels including switchgear breaker controls. The 125VDC distribution panels may also supply power to the 120VAC distribution panels via static inverters. These distribution panels typically supply power for instrumentation necessary to complete the process monitoring functions. For fire events that result in an interruption of power to the AC electrical bus, the station batteries are necessary to supply any required control power during the interim time period required for the diesel generators to become operational. Once the diesels are operational, the 125 VDC distribution system can be powered from the diesels through the battery chargers.
[BWR] Certain plants are also designed with a 250VDC Distribution System that supplies power to Reactor Core Isolation Cooling and/or High Pressure Coolant Injection equipment.
The DC control centers may also supply power to various small horsepower Appendix R safe shutdown system valves and pumps. If the DC system is relied upon to support safe shutdown without battery chargers being available, it must be verified that sufficient battery capacity exists to support the necessary loads for sufficient time (either until power is restored, or the loads are no longer required to operate).

Equipment may be categorized as (1) primary components or (2) secondary components. Typically, the following types of equipment are considered to be primary components:
                                          - Pumps, motor operated valves, solenoid valves, fans, gas bottles, dampers, unit coolers, etc.
                                          - All necessary process indicators and recorders (i.e., flow indicator, temperature indicator, turbine speed indicator, pressure indicator, level recorder)
                                          - Power supplies or other electrical components that support operation of primary components (i.e., diesel generators, switchgear, motor control centers, load centers, power supplies, distribution panels, etc.).
Secondary components are typically items found within the circuitry for a primary component. These provide a supporting role to the overall circuit function. Some secondary components may provide an isolation function or a signal to a primary component via either an interlock or input signal processor. Examples of secondary components include flow switches, pressure switches, temperature switches, level switches, temperature elements, speed elements, transmitters, converters, controllers, transducers, signal conditioners, hand switches, relays, fuses and various instrumentation devices.
Determine which equipment should be included on the Safe Shutdown Equipment List (SSEL). As an option, include secondary components with a primary component(s) that would be affected by fire damage to the secondary component.
By doing this, the SSEL can be kept to a manageable size and the equipment included on the SSEL can be readily related to required post-fire safe shutdown systems and functions.

Applicability                              Comments Applicable                                None Alignment Statement Aligns Alignment Basis Support components were identified where credit was taken for proper control and/or operation of other main or support components (e.g., solenoid valve supporting air-operated valve). In addition, components that could cause spurious actuation of another component, loss of control of another component, or another component adopting an unwanted position/status were analyzed for cable selection (e.g., transmitter supporting process control loop or relay supporting control circuit). Spurious components were divided into the following two categories:
a) Components that could cause spurious operations when energized or de-energized; and b) Components that could transmit spurious signals.
The components of Category a) were analyzed for cable selection based on receipt of an unwanted signal resulting in spurious operation of the main component to an undesirable position. The components of Category b) were considered "permissive" and analyzed accordingly. For the purpose of spurious signal analysis, the selected cables included all cables that could transmit a spurious signal as a result of a fire-induced cable failure. This included conductors that could operate a relay having a contact(s) in the control circuit being analyzed.
RIS 2004-03, Bin 1 circuit configurations (i.e., those most likely to fail under fire scenarios) were considered. This included conductor-to-conductor shorts within a multi-conductor cable, and cable-to-cable interactions. The analysis did not limit the number of cables that may be damaged by fire.
During the NFPA 805 transition, NPPD performed a series of MSO Expert Panel systems reviews. Results were fed back into the NSCA and Fire PRA, as necessary. The treatment of MSOs is provided in the applicable section of the LAR Transition Report.

Applicability                              Comments Applicable                                  None Alignment Statement Aligns Alignment Basis As part of the NFPA 805 Transition, the impact of fire on instrument tubing sensing lines was evaluated considering the fire area location of the instrument sensing lines. The sensing lines for the applicable process monitoring instruments are included in the NSCA model, and evaluated similar to a cable, such that the instrument is assumed to fail in areas containing its associated tubing unless an evaluation notes otherwise. The sensing lines for applicable process monitoring instruments are welded steel therefore the pressure boundary will not be breached as a result of fire damage. For instruments that are credited as active or for instruments whose failure could be detrimental, the fire zone location of the instrument, together with the fire zone(s) where the instrument's sensing line is located, ifdifferent than that of the instrument, are associated in EDISON/SAFE with the instrument. In this manner, a fire would fail the instrument in the fire zone containing the instrument and in any fire zone containing the sensing line.
The effects of exposure fire damage on instrumentation tubing is not an issue as original construction requirements only allowed socket weld, butt weld, or screwed joints. CNS does not use brazed or soldered joints. Copper tubing may be used in limited pneumatic applications however it is not used in instrument lines.

Development of the safe shutdown separation analysis for CNS required that circuit identification and analysis be performed for each electrically controlled and/or operated NSCA component. This task was performed through a detailed engineering review of circuit schematics, connection diagrams, cable block diagrams, and/or other relevant controlled plant documentation. The purpose of circuit identification and analysis was to identify and classify all cables supporting a given safe shutdown component such that a component/cable logic could be developed in preparation for computerized separation analysis.

With respect to electrical distribution cabling, two types of cable associations exist.
For safe shutdown considerations, the direct power feed to a primary safe shutdown component is associated with the primary component. For example, the power feed to a pump is necessary to support the pump. Similarly, the power feed from the load center to an MCC supports the MCC. However, for cases where sufficient branch-circuit coordination is not provided, the same cables discussed above would also support the power supply. For example, the power feed to the pump discussed above would support the bus from which it is fed because, for the case of a common power source analysis, the concern is the loss of the upstream power source and not the connected load. Similarly, the cable feeding the MCC from the load center would also be necessary to support the load center.

The three types of associated circuits were identified in Reference 6.1.5 and further clarified in a NRC memorandum dated March 22, 1982 from R. Mattson to D. Eisenhut, Reference 6.1.6. They are as follows:
                                    - Spurious actuations
                                    - Common power source
                                    - Common enclosure Cables Whose Failure May Cause Spurious Actuations Safe shutdown system spurious actuation concerns can result from fire damage to a cable whose failure could cause the spurious actuation/mal-operation of equipment whose operation could affect safe shutdown. These cables are identified in Section 3.3.3 together with the remaining safe shutdown cables required to support control and operation of the equipment.
Common Power Source Cables The concern for the common power source associated circuits is the loss of a safe shutdown power source due to inadequate breaker/fuse coordination. In the case of a fire-induced cable failure on a non-safe shutdown load circuit supplied from the safe shutdown power source, a lack of coordination between the upstream supply breaker/fuse feeding the safe shutdown power source and the load breaker/fuse supplying the non-safe shutdown faulted circuit can result in loss of the safe shutdown bus. This would result in the loss of power to the safe shutdown equipment supplied from that power source preventing the safe shutdown equipment from performing its required safe shutdown function. Identify these cables together with the remaining safe shutdown cables required to support control and operation of the equipment.
Refer to Section 3.5.2.4 for an acceptable methodology for analyzing the impact of these cables on post-fire safe shutdown.
Common Enclosure Cables The concern with common enclosure associated circuits is fire damage to a cable whose failure could propagate to other safe shutdown cables in the same enclosure either because the circuit is not properly protected by an isolation device (breaker/fuse) such that a fire-induced fault could result in ignition along its length, or by the fire propagating along the cable and into an adjacent fire area. This fire spread to an adjacent fire area could impact safe shutdown equipment in that fire area, thereby resulting in a condition that exceeds the criteria and assumptions of this methodology (i.e., multiple fires). Refer to Section 3.5.2.5 for an acceptable methodology for analyzing the impact of these cables on post-fire safe shutdown.

                                          - A hot short may result from a fire-induced insulation breakdown between conductors of the same cable, a different cable or from some other external source resulting in a compatible but undesired impressed voltage or signal on a specific conductor. A hot short may cause a spurious operation of safe shutdown equipment.
                                          - An open circuit may result from a fire-induced break in a conductor resulting in the loss of circuit continuity. An open circuit may prevent the ability to control or power the affected equipment. An open circuit may also result in a change of state for normally energized equipment. (e.g. [for BWRs] loss of power to the Main Steam Isolation Valve (MSIV) solenoid valves due to an open circuit will result in the closure of the MSIVs). Note that RIS 2004-03 indicates that open circuits, as an initial mode of cable failures, are considered to be of very low likelihood. The risk-informed inspection process will focus on failures with relatively high probabilities.
                                          - A short-to-ground may result from a fire-induced breakdown of a cable insulation system, resulting in the potential on the conductor being applied to ground potential. A short-to-ground may have all of the same effects as an open circuit and, in addition, a short-to-ground may also cause an impact to the control circuit or power train of which it is a part.
Consider the three types of circuit failures identified above to occur individually on each conductor of each safe shutdown cable on the required safe shutdown path in the fire area.

Bin 1 failures should also be the focus of the analysis; however, NRC has indicated that other types of failures required by the regulations for analysis should not be disregarded even ifin Bin 2 or 3. If Bin I changes in subsequent revisions of RIS 2004-03, the guidelines in the revised RIS should be followed.
Cable Failure Modes. For multiconductor cables testing has demonstrated that conductor-to-conductor shorting within the same cable is the most common mode of failure. This is often referred to as "intra-cable shorting." It is reasonable to assume that given damage, more than one conductor-to-conductor short will occur in a given cable. A second primary mode of cable failure is conductor-to-conductor shorting between separate cables, commonly referred to as "inter-cable shorting." Inter-cable shorting is less likely than intra-cable shorting. Consistent with the current knowledge of fire-induced cable failures, the following configurations should be considered:
A. For any individual multiconductor cable (thermoset or thermoplastic), any and all potential spurious actuations that may result from intra-cable shorting, including any possible combination of conductors within the cable, may be postulated to occur concurrently regardless of number. However, as a practical matter, the number of combinations of potential hot shorts increases rapidly with the number of conductors within a given cable. For example, a multiconductor cable with three conductors (3C) has 3 possible combinations of two (including desired combinations), while a five conductor cable (5C) has 10 possible combinations of two (including desired combinations), and a seven conductor cable (7C) has 21 possible combinations of two (including desired combinations). To facilitate an inspection that considers most of the risk presented by postulated hot shorts within a multiconductor cable, inspectors should consider only a few (three or four) of the most critical postulated combinations.
B. For any thermoplastic cable, any and all potential spurious actuations that may result from intra-cable and inter-cable shorting with other thermoplastic cables, including any possible combination of conductors within or between the cables, may be postulated to occur concurrently regardless of number. (The consideration of thermoset cable inter-cable shorts is deferred pending additional research.)
C. For cases involving the potential damage of more than one multiconductor cable, a maximum of two cables should be assumed to be damaged concurrently. The spurious actuations should be evaluated as previously described. The consideration of more than two cables being damaged (and subsequent spurious actuations) is deferred pending additional research.
D. For cases involving direct current (DC) circuits, the potential spurious operation due to failures of the associated control cables (even ifthe spurious operation requires two concurrent hot shorts of the proper polarity, e.g., plus-to-plus and Page B-77
 
Nebraska Public Power District                                                                                      CNS NFPA 805 Transition Rei)ort - Attachment B Attachment B - NEI 04-02 TABLE B Nuclear Safety Capability Assessment Methodology Review NFPA 805 Section: 2.4.2.2 Nuclear Safety Capability Circuit Analysis minus-to-minus) should be considered when the required source and target conductors are each located within the same multiconductor cable.
E. Instrumentation Circuits. Required instrumentation circuits are beyond the scope of this associated circuit approach and must meet the same requirements as required power and control circuits. There is one case where an instrument circuit could potentially be considered an associated circuit. Iffire-induced damage of an instrument circuit could prevent operation (e.g., lockout permissive signal) or cause maloperation (e.g., unwanted start/stop/reposition signal) of systems necessary to achieve and maintain hot shutdown, then the instrument circuit may be considered an associated circuit and handled accordingly.
Likelihood of Undesired Consequences Determination of the potential consequence of the damaged associated circuits is based on the examination of specific NPP piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) and review of components that could prevent operation or cause maloperation such as flow diversions, loss of coolant, or other scenarios that could significantly impair the NPP's ability to achieve and maintain hot shutdown. When considering the potential consequence of such failures, the [analyst] should also consider the time at which the prevented operation or maloperation occurs. Failures that impede hot shutdown within the first hour of the fire tend to be most risk significant in a first-order evaluation. Consideration of cold-shutdown circuits is deferred pending additional research.

The procedure for NFPA 805 / FPRA cable selection and circuit analysis (EPM-DP-EP-004) references the RIS mention above. However, understanding that RIS applies primarily for the Reactor Oversight Process (ROP), itdoes not place the same limitations or restrictions on circuit failure modes analysis performed under the self assessment as part of the new licensing basis proposed under NFPA 805. Specifically no limitations have been placed on cable type (thermoplastic/thermoset) or short failure modes (intra-/inter-cable). In addition, as part of the NFPA 805 transition, NPPD performed a series of expert panel systems reviews to address the potential for multiple spurious operations (MSOs). Results were fed back into the NSCA and Fire PRA as necessary. The treatment of MSOs is to be documented in the applicable section of the LAR Transition Report.

Fire damage to circuits that provide control and power to equipment on the required safe shutdown path and any other equipment whose spurious operation/mal-operation could affect shutdown in each fire area must be evaluated for the effects of a fire in that fire area. Only one fire at a time is assumed to occur. The extent of fire damage is assumed to be limited by the boundaries of the fire area. Given this set of conditions, it must be assured that one redundant train of equipment capable of achieving hot shutdown is free of fire damage for fires in every plant location. To provide this assurance, Appendix R requires that equipment and circuits required for safe shutdown be free of fire damage and that these circuits be designed for the fire-induced effects of a hot short, short-to-ground, and open circuit. With respect to the electrical distribution system, the issue of breaker coordination must also be addressed.
This section will discuss specific examples of each of the following types of circuit failures:
                                        - Open circuit
                                        - Short-to-ground

An open circuit Open Circuit                    is a fire-induced break in a conductor resulting in the loss of circuit continuity. An open circuit will typically prevent the ability to control or power the affected equipment. An open circuit can also result in a change of state for normally energized equipment. For example, a loss of power to the main steam isolation valve (MSIV) solenoid valves [for BWRs]
due to an open circuit will result in the closure of the MSIV.
NOTE: The EPRI circuit failure testing indicated that open circuits are not likely to be the initial fire-induced circuit failure mode. Consideration of this may be helpful within the safe shutdown analysis. Consider the following consequences in the safe shutdown circuit analysis when determining the effects of open circuits:
                                            - Loss of electrical continuity may occur within a conductor resulting in deenergizing the circuit and causing a loss of power to, or control of, the required safe shutdown equipment.
                                            - In selected cases, a loss of electrical continuity may result in loss of power to an interlocked relay or other device. This loss of power may change the state of the equipment. Evaluate this to determine ifequipment fails safe.
                                            - Open circuit on a high voltage (e.g., 4.16 kV) ammeter current transformer (CT) circuit may result in secondary damage.

However, based on cable fire data, high cable IRduring a fire event is indicative of an intact cable, not one with an open conductor. More likely, an open conductor exists when the cable is damaged by the fire and the cable IR is 100 ohms or less. At this degraded level the CT voltage pulses are much lower. The possibility of the much lower voltages causing a secondary fire at the CT location is unlikely.

A Short-to-Ground                  short-to-ground is a fire-induced breakdown of a cable insulation system resulting in the potential on the conductor being applied to ground potential. A short-to-ground can cause a loss of power to or control of required safe shutdown equipment. In addition, a short-to-ground may affect other equipment in the electrical power distribution system in the cases where proper coordination does not exist. Consider the following consequences in the post-fire safe shutdown analysis when determining the effects of circuit failures related to shorts-to-ground:
                                            - A short to ground in a power or a control circuit may result in tripping one or more isolation devices (i.e. breaker/fuse) and causing a loss of power to or control of required safe shutdown equipment.
                                            - In the case of certain energized equipment such as HVAC dampers, a loss of control power may result in loss of power to an interlocked relay or other device that may cause one or more spurious operations.

A Hot Short                      hot short is defined as a fire induced insulation breakdown between conductors of the same cable, a different cable or some other external source resulting in an undesired impressed voltage on a specific conductor. The potential effect of the undesired impressed voltage would be to cause equipment to operate or fail to operate in an undesired manner.
Consider the following specific circuit failures related to hot shorts as part of the post-fire safe shutdown analysis:
                                            - A hot short between an energized conductor and a de-energized conductor within the same cable may cause a spurious actuation of equipment. The spuriously actuated device (e.g., relay) may be interlocked with another circuit that causes the spurious actuation of other equipment. This type of hot short is called a conductor-to-conductor hot short or an internal hot short.
                                            - A hot short between any external energized source such as an energized conductor from another cable (thermoplastic cables only) and a de-energized conductor may also cause a spurious actuation of equipment. This is called a cable-to-cable hot short or an external hot short. Cable-to-cable hot shorts between thermoset cables are not postulated to occur pending additional research.

The concern is Coordination                that, for fire damage to a single power cable, lack of coordination between the supply breaker/fuse and the load breakers/fuses can result in the loss of power to a safe shutdown power source that is required to provide power to safe shutdown equipment.
A coordination study should demonstrate the coordination status for each required common power source. For coordination to exist, the time-current curves for the breakers, fuses and/or protective relaying must demonstrate that a fault on the load circuits is isolated before tripping the upstream breaker that supplies the bus. Furthermore, the available short circuit current on the load circuit must be considered to ensure that coordination is demonstrated at the maximum fault level.
The methodology for identifying potential associated circuits of a common power source and evaluating circuit coordination cases of associated circuits on a single circuit fault basis is as follows:
                                    - Identify the power sources required to supply power to safe shutdown equipment.
                                    - For each power source, identify the breaker/fuse ratings, types, trip settings and coordination characteristics for the incoming source breaker supplying the bus and the breakers/fuses feeding the loads supplied by the bus.
                                    - For each power source, demonstrate proper circuit coordination using acceptable industry methods.
                                    - For power sources not properly coordinated, tabulate by fire area the routing of cables whose breaker/fuse is not properly coordinated with the supply breaker/fuse. Evaluate the potential for disabling power to the bus in each of the fire areas in which the associated circuit cables of concern are routed and the power source is required for safe shutdown.
Prepare a list of the following information for each fire area:
                                    - Cables of concern.
                                    - Affected common power source and its path.
                                    - Raceway in which the cable is enclosed.
                                    - Sequence of the raceway in the cable route.
                                    - Fire zone/area in which the raceway is located.
For fire zones/areas in which the power source is disabled, the effects are mitigated by appropriate methods.

This criteria / assumption listed in Section 3.4.1.3 of NEI 00-01 is explicitly stated in Section 5.1.4 of Calculation NEDC 11-019.
The NSCA requires one success path for each performance goal be available to achieve a safe and stable condition. This compliance strategy is determined by performing a deterministic analysis and resolving any fire-affected equipment and/or cables within that success path. Any failures within the success path that require OMA are further investigated with the use of performance-based methods. All failures within the credited compliance strategies are analyzed and resolved to ensure the credited strategy is properly protected and available.

This can be done systematically or via procedures such as Emergency Operating Procedures.
ADDlicability                              Comments Applicable                                  None Aliqnment Statement Aligns Alignment Basis As part of the NFPA 805 Transition, the impact of fire on instrument tubing sensing lines was evaluated considering the fire area location of the instrument sensing lines. The sensing lines for the applicable process monitoring instruments are included in the NSCA model, and evaluated similar to a cable, such that the instrument is assumed to fail in areas containing its associated tubing unless an evaluation notes otherwise. The sensing lines for applicable process monitoring instruments are welded steel; therefore, the pressure boundary will not be breached as a result of fire damage. For instruments that are credited as active or for instruments whose failure could be detrimental, the fire zone location of the instrument, together with the fire zone(s) where the instrument's sensing line is located, ifdifferent than that of the instrument, are associated in EDISON/SAFE with the instrument. In this manner, a fire would fail the instrument in the fire zone containing the instrument and in any fire zone containing the sensing line.

Typically, the safe shutdown path with the least a Fire in Each Fire Area        number of cables and equipment in the fire area would be selected as the required safe shutdown path. Consider the circuit failure criteria and the possible mitigating strategies, however, in selecting the required safe shutdown path in a particular fire area. Review support systems as a part of this assessment since their availability will be important to the ability to achieve and maintain safe shutdown. For example, impacts to the electric power distribution system for a particular safe shutdown path could present a major impediment to using a particular path for safe shutdown. By identifying this early in the assessment process, an unnecessary amount of time is not spent assessing impacts to the frontline systems that will require this power to support their operation.
Based on an assessment as described above, designate the required safe shutdown path(s) for the fire area. Identify all equipment not in the safe shutdown path whose spurious operation or mal-operation could affect the shutdown function.
Include these cables in the shutdown function list. For each of the safe shutdown cables (located in the fire area) that are part of the required safe shutdown path in the fire area, perform an evaluation to determine the impact of a fire-induced cable failure on the corresponding safe shutdown equipment and, ultimately, on the required safe shutdown path.
When evaluating the safe shutdown mode for a particular piece of equipment, it is important to consider the equipment's position for the specific safe shutdown scenario for the full duration of the shutdown scenario. It is possible for a piece of equipment to be in two different states depending on the shutdown scenario or the stage of shutdown within a particular shutdown scenario. Document information related to the normal and shutdown positions of equipment on the safe shutdown equipment list.
ApDlicability                              Comments Applicable                                  None Alignment Statement Aligns Alignment Basis EDISON/SAFE provides a demonstration that at least one post-fire success path is established including the documentation of any engineering justification, recovery actions, etc., needed to ensure the path is available. EDISON/SAFE resolutions (masks) are provided in the form of a protection remark, or compliance strategy, used to disposition the failure of a specific component or cable during the performance of the separation analysis for a specific fire area. Resolutions are only applied to components and cables associated with the systems selected to be utilized to achieve a safe and stable condition. The NFPA 805 systems selected to achieve this condition are those least affected (if at all) by the fire thus minimizing the number of variances that require resolution.

This is completed through logical relationships that have been created within the database. NSCA model development is detailed within Section 9.0 of Calculation NEDC 11-019.
The NSCA analysis is run in EDISON/SAFE, which indicates possible instances where the performance goals are not met. Each of these instances is reviewed. If there is a design reason that the instance is not a problem, e.g. the battery charger fails but the capacity of the battery is sufficient to perform the required action, the explanation(s) are entered into EDISON/SAFE as resolutions and the analysis rerun.
Remaining instances where performance goals are not met once EDISON/SAFE is rerun are considered "Variances from Deterministic Requirements" (VFDRs).
During the NFPA 805 transition process, instances of logic failure were handled using Fire Risk Evaluations (FREs).
During the FRE process, the logic failure is reviewed using risk-informed, performance-based methodologies with the possible results including:
-No impact, risk insignificant;
-Procedure change, preemptive action;
-Physical plant modification; and
-Recovery action (RA).
The results of the Fire Risk Evaluation are reflected in EDISON/SAFE as resolutions. This process is repeated until all the performance goals in EDISON/SAFE are shown to be successful.
Fire Area compliance strategies for each fire area are contained within Appendix F of Calculation NEDC 11-019. The compliance strategies include resolutions, recovery actions and credited system success paths for each fire area.

ApDlicability                              Comments Applicable                                None Aliqnment Statement Aligns Alignment Basis Per Calculation NEDC 11-019, Section 12.0, the analysis is performed to determine the ability to achieve a safe and stable condition given a fire in any area of the plant. The EDISON/SAFE module provides the capability to perform an automated analysis utilizing a model composed of plant systems, equipment, cables, and their physical locations. The analysis uses a Boolean logic evaluation method that supports success path relationships enabling analysis and graphic display capability of each fire zone/fire area. Consequently, EDISON/SAFE contains the complete CNS NSCA analysis including the equipment, cable, fire zone/area, logic, analysis results and strategy information necessary to support NFPA 805 compliance.

Nebraska Public Power District                  CNS NFPA 805 Transition Report - Attachment C The nuclear safety goal of NFPA 805 is to provide reasonable assurance that a fire during any operational mode and plant configuration will not prevent the plant from achieving and maintaining the fuel in a safe and stable condition. A safe and stable condition is defined as the ability to maintain Keff <0.99, with a reactor coolant temperature at or below the requirements for hot shutdown. The B-3 table documents this for 'at-power' modes of operation.
To meet this nuclear safety goal, fire protection features shall be capable of providing reasonable assurance that, in the event of a fire, the plant is not placed in an unrecoverable condition and the licensee must demonstrate the ability to maintain one success path of required equipment effectively free of fire damage. This was accomplished at CNS by developing and analyzing a comprehensive list of systems and equipment to identify those critical components required to achieve and maintain the fuel in a safe and stable hot shutdown state following a fire from at power conditions. Key assumptions associated with the Table B-3 selected equipment and systems are detailed within CNS Calculation NEDC 11-019.
In general, the fire area analyses consider control of the unit from the Control Room or from the Alternate Shutdown (ASD) Room (i.e., Primary Control Station).
The strategies documented in Table B-3 are the assured strategy for each fire area. The location and severity of the fire dictates whether the bounding (i.e., worst case full area involved in the fire) compliance strategy will be implemented for a fire.
Evaluation of Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria NFPA 805 Section 1.5.1 states, "Fire protection features shall be capable of providing reasonable assurance that, in the event of a fire, the plant is not placed in an unrecoverable condition. To demonstrate this, the following performance criteria shall be met." The sections below provide a description of how the performance criteria are assured at CNS.
Reactivity Control NFPA 805 Section 1.5.1 (a) states for the Reactivity Control performance criteria:
Reactivity control shall be capable of inserting negative reactivity to achieve and maintain subcritical conditions. Negative reactivity inserting shall occur rapidly enough such that fuel design limits are not exceeded.
Reactivity control will be accomplished by insertion of the control rods and will result from an automatic RPS trip or from operator initiation of a manual trip. This action will de-energize the RPS to actuate a reactor scram. For boiling water reactors (BWRs), adequate shutdown margin is assured without the need for borated charging water and source range monitoring is not required.
Inventory and Pressure Control NFPA 805 Section 1.5.1(b) states for the Inventory and Pressure Control performance criteria:
With fuel in the reactor vessel, head on and tensioned, inventory and pressure control shall be capable of controlling coolant level such that subcooling is maintained for a PWR and shall be capable of maintaining or rapidly restoring reactor water level above top of active fuel for a BWR such that fuel clad damage as a result of a fire is prevented.
Reactor coolant make-up can be achieved by isolation of the Reactor Coolant System and control of vessel coolant level by injecting water into the isolated Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV). Systems for which the primary purpose is to inject water into the RPV are grouped under this Performance Goal, even if they also assist in removing decay heat.

* Control Rod Drive (CRD) vents
* High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI) System
"    Main Steam to the Main Turbine and other paths
"    Safety Relief Valves (SRVs - spurious concern)
"    Steam Supply to Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) Turbine
* Residual Heat Removal (RHR) System
* Reactor Water Cleanup (RWCU) System Initially, reactor makeup is provided by operation of the Core Spray (CS) system, the HPCI system or the RCIC system. The Operator or the Automatic Depressurization System (ADS) is utilized to reduce plant pressure for use of the low pressure CS System. The HPCI and RCIC systems consist of a steam driven centrifugal pump capable of injecting high pressure water into the RPV. This also aids in removing decay heat.
Overpressure protection is provided by the SRVs in the self-activated spring lift mode. This mode of operation is not susceptible to fire damage.
Instrumentation required for Reactor Inventory and Pressure Control (Reactor Coolant Level and Pressure) is modeled in the Process Monitoring Performance Goal.
When shutting down from outside the Control Room, Inventory and Pressure control is accomplished by maintaining the RCS pressure boundary integrity and by operating HPCI from the Alternate Shutdown (ASD) Room.
Decay Heat Removal NFPA 805 Section 1.5.1(c) states for the Decay Heat Removal performance criteria:
Decay heat removal shall be capable of removing sufficient heat from the reactor core or spent fuel such that fuel is maintainedin a safe and stable condition.
Decay Heat is removed initially by natural circulation within the RPV and automatic (mechanical) operation of the SRVs. The SRVs discharge steam from the RPV to the Suppression Pool. The emerging steam is condensed in this pool, and the heat absorbed by the Suppression Pool is removed by the RHR system operating in the Suppression Pool Cooling (SPC) mode and ultimately transferred to the river via the Service Water (SW) system. The required system logics for SPC include satisfying net positive suction head requirements.
When HPCI or RCIC is used for makeup, steam is also vented to the suppression chamber via the operating turbine. These systems are modeled under the Inventory and Pressure Performance Goal since their primary purpose is makeup, and they are not included in this Performance Goal.
Instrumentation required for decay heat removal (suppression chamber level and temperature) are modeled in the Process Monitoring Performance Goal.
When steam pressure is reduced such that HPCI and/or RCIC turbine operation cannot be sustained, the SRVs are manually opened to further reduce RPV pressure such that the CS system can be used to provide core cooling and maintain RPV inventory.
When shutting down from outside the Control Room, decay heat removal is accomplished by operating the RHR system in Low Pressure Coolant Injection (LPCI) mode from the ASD Room.
Three SRVs are available to be operated from the ASD Room to depressurize the RPV.

fl110t1            C' III I~I IL '..J Fuel pool cooling is required in order to prevent boiling and the resulting loss of inventory, which can cause damage to the stored fuel cells when they are uncovered. However, per CNS Updated Safety Analysis Report Section X-3, Spent Fuel Storage:
Since the spent fuel pool temperature will initially be less than 150&deg;/F, the decay heat will take at least 4 hours to heat the spent fuel pool water to 212&deg;F. Four hours is sufficient time to establish adequate makeup to the spent fuel pool prior to the onset of bulk boiling. Also, under bulk boiling conditions, the temperature of the fuel will not exceed 350 0F. This is an acceptable temperature from the standpoint of fuel rod integrity and surface corrosion.
Plant procedures require logging the temperature every four hours in the event that cooling is lost. A number of options are available for replenishing the water to prevent uncovering the fuel, including the use of fire hoses or cross-ties to the RHR system. It is, therefore, unnecessary to model the Fuel Pool Cooling system.
Vital Auxiliaries NFPA 805 Section 1.5.1(d) states for the Vital Auxiliaries performance criteria:
Vital auxiliaries shall be capable of providing the necessary auxiliary support equipment and systems to assure that the systems required under (a), (b), (c), and (e) are capable of performing their required nuclearsafety function.
Various plant systems are required to support the systems and components selected to accomplish the previously defined safety functions. Not all of these plant systems are modeled as system logics but are instead modeled in component logics for the supported component.
The following are modeled as Systems in the SUPPORT Performance Goal:
* Reactor Equipment Cooling (REC): This system supplies cooling to critical heat exchangers and coolers. If both pumps are inoperable, emergency operation is possible by cross-connecting to the SW system. This allows modeling Train A and Train B of both the normal and the emergency lineup as four different systems and at least one of the four are required to survive.
* Service Water: This system cools the diesel generator coolers and the REC and RHR Heat Exchangers. SAFE models Train A and Train B as two systems, and requires the same-train SW to cool the REC and RHR systems. Both Diesel Generator coolers can be supplied from either SW Train A or Train B. Components of the SW system that are specific to individual cooling loads are modeled as support components for the cooled system.
Other critical support functions are modeled in as component logics:
* HVAC Systems. HVAC cooling is required and modeled for the Battery Rooms, Diesel Generators, Critical Switchgear Rooms, Core Spray Pump Rooms (including the RCIC turbine) and the HPCI Room using component logics. Plant evaluations have confirmed that other areas of the plant do not require HVAC cooling in order to protect credited equipment from overheating or to ensure habitability.
* Diesel Generator Support Auxiliaries. Provides direct support in component logics for the corresponding Diesel Generator. This includes cooling water valves, ventilation, starting air, fuel oil transfer pumps and jacket water pumps.
* Electrical Supply. Each bus, breaker, motor control center, panel, etc., is modeled in direct support of the specific load.

When shutting down from outside the Control Room, REC Pumps C and D can be operated from the ASD Room to provide cooling, or isolated to allow for the REC emergency mode.
Process Monitoring NFPA 805 Section 1.5.1(e) states for the Process Monitoring performance criteria:
Process monitoring shall be capable of providing the necessary indication to assure the criteriaaddressed in (a) through (d) have been achieved and are being maintained.
NEI 00-01 contains guidance in Section 3.1.2.5 for choosing appropriate instrumentation for process monitoring. The following instruments are modeled in the Reactor Vessel Instrumentation (RVI) system, based on existing operating procedures:
"  Reactor coolant level and pressure
"  Suppression chamber temperature and level The indicating ranges of these instruments cover the normal operating bands and will operate throughout the scenario. Other tank levels and diagnostic instrumentation such as flow or system pressures are modeled directly in the logics for the system or component that requires the indication and are not included in this performance goal.
In addition to instruments required for indication, the analysis includes instruments which provide permissive or controlling signals to safe shutdown components or which can cause spurious operation. These instruments are modeled in direct support of the affected component using component logics, cable logics, or a combination of both.
When shutting down from outside the Control Room, the following instruments are available in the ASD Room:
"  Reactor coolant level
"  Reactor Pressure (at HPCI Turbine Steam Inlet)
* Suppression chamber temperature and level
* Emergency Condensate Storage Tank level
* Diagnostic instrumentation for alternate shutdown systems
* Level indication for tanks needed for alternate shutdown Page C-5

EEEETitle                      EE 09-032 - Evaluation of DC SWGR Rooms 1A and 1B and Battery Rooms 1A and 1B Fire Barrier Separation Purpose            This evaluation was written to justify fire dampers provided in supply ventilation ductwork routed through the barrier between each Switchgear Room and the adjacent Seal Water Pump Area and Corridor that have not been installed in the plane of the barrier, as required by the manufacturers installation guidelines. Also, the dampers at the wall boundary where the ventilation ductwork penetrates the barriers from Battery Rooms 1A and 1B to the Seal Water Pump Area and Corridor have been blocked open to ensure exhaust system operability. In addition, the fire doors in these barriers have NFPA 80 code deviations.
Conclusion        Based on the lack of significant combustible loading and fire hazards in the areas, the presence of 3-hour rated dampers that will provide significant fire separation regardless of the mounting position, and installed fire protection features including detection system coverage and manual suppression capabilities, the fire damper configurations are adequate for the fire hazards of the adjacent areas. The fire door code deviations include excessive door-to-door gap clearances and modifications made to ensure proper door operation.
Considering the lack of significant combustible loading and fire hazards in the area and administrative procedures controlling door operation, these deviations do not represent a significant decrease in fire safety.
Basis              The bases that justify this conclusion are summarized as follows:
e The combustible loading classification for Switchgear Rooms 1A and 1B are "LOW" and is mainly attributed to miscellaneous plastics and transient loading allowances. There are few fixed combustibles in any of the zones and the equivalent fire severities are minimal. The combustible loading classification in the Corridor is also "LOW" and consists of miscellaneous cable, hose and plastic, and transient allowances.
* The lack of significant combustible materials in the zones and the lack of intervening combustibles significantly reduce the chance of fire propagation between zones. Transient combustibles are controlled by plant procedures, effectively reducing the possibility of a fire involving transient materials.
* Each fire zone is provided with detection system coverage. In the event of a fire in the Switchgear Rooms or Corridor, detection system actuation will result in rapid fire brigade response and subsequent manual extinguishment utilizing hose stations and portable extinguishers strategically located in adjacent fire zones.
e Based on the material and installation of the ventilation ducts, they are considered to prevent fire propagation for up to 1 hour.

6" Elevation of the Control Building. Additionally, a fire rating cannot be assigned to the barriers due to miscellaneous door discrepancies concerning doors H102, H103, and H104.
e Door H102 separates RPS Room 1B (Fire Area CB-C) from the Seal Water Pump Area and Corridor (Fire Area CB-A)
* Doors H103 and H104 separate the Auxiliary Relay Room (Fire Area CB-D) from the Seal Water Pump Area and Corridor (Fire Area CB-A)
Conclusion        Based on the installed fire protection features, including detection system coverage and manual fire suppression capabilities, and the lack of significant fire hazards, and the types of combustible materials, the ventilation ductwork is sufficient to provide protection from spread of fire prior to fire brigade response and subsequent manual extinguishment, if necessary. Discrepancies concerning doors H102, H103, and H104 are relatively minor, and include door clearances, and minor modification for proper operation. These discrepancies are therefore not considered to affect fire safety. The separation that has been provided is considered to be adequate for the fire hazards of the areas.
Basis              The bases that justify this conclusion are summarized as follows:
9 There are typically few fixed combustibles in any of the zones, and the equivalent fire severities are minimal. The exception is the Auxiliary Relay Room, which contains a significant amount of cable insulation in open cable trays routed at the ceiling elevation. The content of the RPS Room consists mainly of batteries.
The combustibles in the Corridor mainly consist of miscellaneous cable, hose and plastic, and transient allowances. Cables in the Corridor are routed in conduit, and potential ignition sources in the zones are limited to energized electrical equipment, typically in cabinets, and potential transient sources.
e A cable tray fire in the Auxiliary Relay Room would be characterized as a slow propagating fire that has the potential to produce significant amounts of smoke. Based on the installed detection system coverage, fire brigade response and manual extinguishment would occur prior to the fire being able to breach the barrier via the ductwork.
* The lack of significant combustible materials in the remaining zones and the lack of intervening combustibles significantly reduce the chance of fire propagation between zones.
e Transient combustibles, hot work, and ignition sources are controlled by administrative procedures that effectively reduce the possibility of a fire.

* The supply registers in the Auxiliary Relay Room are provided with 3-hour rated fire dampers (HV-AD-AD1434 and HV-AD-AD1435). A 3-hour fire-rated damper has been provided in the Auxiliary Relay Room at the exhaust register (HV-AD-AD1436).
9 Sheet metal ductwork is recognized by the NFPA to provide up to 1-hour fire separation when properly hung, and the fire is stopped.
* Each fire zone is provided with detection system coverage.

EEEE Title                      EE 09-042 - Evaluation of 1-Hour Marinite Wall in Battery Room lB Purpose            This evaluation is written to address the fire protection adequacy of the 1-hour fire-rated wall enclosure located in Battery Room 1B.
Conclusion        Based on a review of the potential fire hazards located in Battery Room 1 B, with the 1-hour fire-rated wall enclosure and the existing fire detection system, the existing barrier provided is adequate to prevent the fire spreading from Battery Room 1B to the 1-hour fire-rated enclosure.
Basis              The bases that justify this conclusion are summarized as follows:
a The combustible loading classification for Battery Room 1B is "LOW" and is mainly attributed to plastics and transient loading allowances. Battery Room 1B has an equivalent fire severity of 30 minutes. The combustible loading consists of cables routed in conduit riser. The lack of significant combustible materials in the zones and the lack of intervening combustibles significantly reduce the chance of fire propagation between zones.
9 Based on the low combustible loading in Battery Room 1B, a fire will not be able to develop to such intensity as to challenge the as-installed configuration.
9 Battery Room 1 B is provided with smoke detection system coverage. Detection system actuation will prompt rapid fire brigade response and manual extinguishment via portable extinguishers and manual hose stations strategically located in adjacent zones. Pre-fire plans are available for Battery Room 1B.
e Transient combustibles, hot work, and ignition sources are controlled by administrative procedures that effectively reduce the possibility of a fire.
e Safe shutdown can be accomplished independent of Battery Room 1B.

The section of the barrier that is being changed is the wall area adjacent to, and including, door H 100. The barrier is being moved to the vestibule walls and ceiling on the north side of H100. Door H100 will no longer be considered part of the fire barrier. Door H114 on the east side of the vestibule will be evaluated to show it is adequate for the fire hazards that are present. Door H1 14 is located on the east side of the vestibule. The door is a single leaf unrated metal door. The door has been barricaded with a 1/2 in. thick carbon steel plate plug welded to the frame of the door. The west side of door H1 14 has been barricaded with concrete blocks stacked approximately 6 ft high and 3 ft deep.
Conclusion        The walls and ceiling of the vestibule can be credited as a 3-hour fire rating. Based on the fire hazard analysis, fire door H1 14 is adequate for the hazards associated with the area.
Basis              The bases that justify this conclusion are summarized as follows:
o The automatic smoke detection system that alarms in the Control Room will result in prompt fire brigade response and manual fire brigade extinguishment. Based on low combustible loading and detection in the area, the fire zone boundaries are adequate to prevent fire spread to adjacent fire areas and fire zones. Pre-fire plans are available for fire brigade use in responding to fire events in the fires zones.
o An automatic wet pipe sprinkler system has been provided in the Swing Charger Room adjacent to the west wall of Fire Zone 8C.
o Given a fire in this zone, safe shutdown can be accomplished as verified by the Appendix R Safe Shutdown Analysis Report.
* Transient combustibles, hot work, and ignition sources are controlled by administrative procedures that effectively reduce the possibility of fires in these areas.
* The construction features associated with door H1 14 and the vestibule are similar to door R1 15. Door R1 15 was evaluated under EE 09-035.
e Based on the construction of the barrier and door H1 14 with welded steel plate and the fire severity present in Fire Area VIII/Fire Zone 24 side of the barrier, the Fire Area VIII/Fire Zone 24 fire would not be expected to breach the barrier. Also, a fire starting in Fire Area VIII/Fire Zone 24 would be mitigated by the automatic suppression system so that it would not provide a significant challenge to barrier. A fire starting in Fire Area IV/Fire Zone 8D would not be expected to spread to Fire Area VIII/Fire Zone 24 due to lack of combustibles in the area, lack of combustibles inside the vestibule, and the construction features of door H1 14.

Non-rated fire barriers separate the Control Building Basement Area from the individual cable manholes located below the basement, which function as a connection point for cables routed in underground ducts from the Intake Structure or the Diesel Generator Building to the Control Building. Due to the presence of safe shutdown cables in the manholes, the adequacy of the manhole barriers must be assessed to ensure that fire spread is precluded to the Control Building Basement at the 882' Elevation and to the opposite division manholes.
Conclusion        Based on a review of the potential fire hazards located in the Control Building Basement and in the manholes, adequate fire protection is provided to prevent fire spread to and from the manholes located below the Control Building Basement.-
Basis            The bases that justify this conclusion are summarized as follows:
e Each manhole contains a limited amount of fire resistant cable insulation and no ignition sources. As a result, fire potential in the manhole is limited, a significant fire could not be sustained, and due to the lack of intervening combustibles and the metal plates, propagation to either the Control Building Basement Area or to the redundant division manholes is not possible.
* A review of the Control Building Basement Area also indicates limited potential for fire spread into the manholes. Combustible loading in the basement area is low and consists mainly of lube oil associated with the RHR Service Water (RHRSW) Booster Pumps and Station Air Compressors.
* A 4" steel I-beam floor dike is also provided on the floor in the basement area to separate the main basement floor area from the floor area of the manholes. This floor dike will prevent combustible liquid spills from impacting the manholes.
                                " Smoke detection, portable extinguishers, and a manual fire hose are provided in the area.
                                " Transient combustibles, hot work, and ignition sources are controlled by administrative procedures that effectively reduce the possibility of fires in these areas.
e Each manhole is approximately 8' apart on center. A substantial metal plate (approximately 1/4" thick and approximately 3' x 3') covers the access opening to each manhole. Cables routed through the manhole do not penetrate or cross over to the redundant division manholes. Cables exiting manholes are typically routed in 4" steel conduits and the conduits are routed in the soil fill below the basement slab.

The Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria (NSPC) require at least one train of electrical power available post-fire. There is cable fire damage to the DG Fuel Oil (DGDO) Pumps, EE-CB-4160DG2-EG2 (DG48, DG53, DG54, DG57, H574), EE-CB-4160F-1FS, EE-CB-4160G-1GE (H572, H573), EE-CB-4160G-1GS (H555), EE-SWGR-4160DG2 and Isolate-DG2 (A54, DG45, DG48, DG50, DG51, DG63, DG87, DG88, DG89, H470, H485, H573, H574). The 4160F-1FS, even with the potential cable damage, will trip to protect the Emergency Transformer from potential faults on the 4160F Bus and allow the Emergency Transformer to be used in this area. Cable damage to the EE-CB-4160DG2-EG2, EESWGR- 4160DG2, and Isolate-DG2 would allow for the DG to place itself on the 4160G Bus, potentially out-of-phase with offsite power that may be present on the bus. Based on cable damage, even in "isolate" the failure mode is possible to place the DG on the bus until control power fuses are pulled in the DG2 area and the breaker controlled locally (specifically DG53 and DG57 with an external hot short).
During the normal transfer sequence when 4160B is removed from the 4160G Bus (EE-CB-4160G-1GB and/or EE-CB-4160B-1BG open), DG2 would start automatically and the EE-CB-4160G-1GS would close.
Once DG2 is up to speed, it checks the status of the 4160G Bus and closes its output breaker if power is still required to the bus. The operator can open EE-CB-4160G-1GS and/or EE-CB-4160G-1GE from the Control Room, but based on normal operations for the GS breaker (if there is no power on the bus) and/or cable damage on the GE breaker (H572 and H573), either breaker may re-close on its own once the operator has opened it from the Control Room.
Action to open EE-CB-4160G-IGE locally may not be able to be accomplished in time to preclude paralleling the DG out-of-phase onto the credited 4160G Bus. The four cables in question are all affected in fire scenarios: 7A-TS1 1, CPSR-A.FD4, CPSR-B.FD4, CPSR-C.FD4, SW-P-A.FD4, SW-P-B.FD4, SW-P-C.FD4, and SW-P-D.FD4.
Fire damage to interlock cables (H572 and H573) between 1GE and EG2/GEN EG2 CONTROL and RELAY PANEL may also cause automatic tripping of the 4160G-1 GE breaker and inability to close it from the Control Room, or allow for auto-closure of breaker. EE-CB-4160G-1GE is normally closed and is desired open to isolate the DG from the 4160G Bus ifthe Emergency Transformer is used. The Page C-16

SW Train B is required to support various functions (SPC, HPCI and CS Quad cooling, REC, DGs, etc) for NSPC. CS Train B is credited for Inventory Control, SPC Train B is credited for Decay Heat Removal, REC Train B provides cooling for RHR Pump 1D and the RHR and CS Pump Rooms (Quads), and SW Train B provides the cooling for REC and RHR Heat Exchangers (DGs not credited). The complete loss of Service Water or its diversion could challenge these NSPC.
Fire in the area could result in damage to the 4KV Bus 1G UV circuit which would cause a trip signal to the SW Pump 1B breaker. Inability to keep the SW Pump 1 B breaker closed would result in loss of all Service Water.
Damage to SW-MOV-37MV cables (MY348 and MY350) could remove the ability to close the valve if already open. This would divert flow to non-critical loads and the non-credited SW loop with only a single Service Water Pump available. This reduction in flow may not allow sufficient cooling to the REC and RHR Heat Exchangers.
NOTE: Even though SW-MOV-37MV is a potential NRC Information Notice 92-18 concern, the only location with an affected cable is in Fire Zone 7A, where the cable that causes the concern is protected via the duct bank.
Cable damage to both RHRSW Booster Pump breakers would result in the inability to close either breaker, causing SW-MOV-MO89B to fail closed without the ability to open from the Control Room. This would result in the loss of SW flow to the RHR Heat Exchanger for SPC Train B.

For this reason, fire brigade activities are not expected to fail components not immediately involved in the fire scenario. It has been concluded that water impingement on cables is not a concern. Per MWR 91-1264, electrical cabinets and conduit have been sealed to mitigate the effects of suppression activities. In the event of normal operation, the wet-pipe system in the Swing Charger Room will not have an adverse effect, as the chargers and the disconnect switch cabinets are spray tight and the conduits are sealed. A pipe rupture from within Fire Zone 7A could spray several of the RHRSW Booster Pumps and may also spray EE-MCC-T. However, the equipment is spray-tight and would not be adversely affected. A pipe rupture of the supply pipe in the corridor of Fire Zone 8D could discharge water through the steel equipment access hatch and down the stairwell to Fire Zone 7A. There is no direct effect due to floor drains, equipment pedestals, and the physical distance to equipment. Since it is shown that suppression effects will not impact the NSPC, the Fire Area configuration is deemed acceptable.
Fire Area Comments A 1-hour rated concrete enclosure containing Division II control and motive power feeds is located along the south wall of Fire Zone 7A.

EEEETitle                      EE 09-032 - Evaluation of DC SWGR Rooms 1A and 1 B and Battery Rooms 1A and 1 B Fire Barrier Separation Purpose            This evaluation was written to justify fire dampers provided in supply ventilation ductwork routed through the barrier between each Switchgear Room and the adjacent Seal Water Pump Area and Corridor that have not been installed in the plane of the barrier, as required by the manufacturers installation guidelines. Also, the dampers at the wall boundary where the ventilation ductwork penetrates the barriers from Battery Rooms 1A and 1B to the Seal Water Pump Area and Corridor have been blocked open to ensure exhaust system operability. In addition, the fire doors in these barriers have NFPA 80 code deviations.
Conclusion        Based on the lack of significant combustible loading and fire hazards in the areas, the presence of 3-hour rated dampers that will provide significant fire separation regardless of the mounting position, and installed fire protection features including detection system coverage and manual suppression capabilities, the fire damper configurations are adequate for the fire hazards of the adjacent areas. The fire door code deviations include excessive door-to-door gap clearances and modifications made to ensure proper door operation.
Considering the lack of significant combustible loading and fire hazards in the area and administrative procedures controlling door operation, these deviations do not represent a significant decrease in fire safety.
Basis              The bases that justify this conclusion are summarized as follows:
e The combustible loading classification for Switchgear Rooms 1A and 1B are "LOW" and is mainly attributed to miscellaneous plastics and transient loading allowances. There are few fixed combustibles in any of the zones and the equivalent fire severities are minimal. The combustible loading classification in the Corridor is also "LOW" and consists of miscellaneous cable, hose and plastic, and transient allowances.
* The lack of significant combustible materials in the zones and the lack of intervening combustibles significantly reduce the chance of fire propagation between zones. Transient combustibles are controlled by plant procedures, effectively reducing the possibility of a fire involving transient materials.
e Each fire zone is provided with detection system coverage. In the event of a fire in the Switchgear Rooms or Corridor, detection system actuation will result in rapid fire brigade response and subsequent manual extinguishment utilizing hose stations and portable extinguishers strategically located in adjacent fire zones.
e Based on the material and installation of the ventilation ducts, they are considered to prevent fire propagation for up to 1 hour.

The damper has been blocked open to ensure exhaust system operability, as accidental closure would render the exhaust system inoperable. In addition, steel pipe has been used as ventilation ductwork in the Cable Spreading Room, which is not typical for ventilation.
Conclusion        Based on the significant construction of the assembly, the lack of significant fire hazards and combustible loading, and the presence of installed fire protection features including fire detection and fixed fire suppression, the configuration that has been provided is adequate for the fire hazards of the areas.
Basis              The bases that justify this conclusion are summarized as follows:
e The duct assembly in the Cable Spreading Room is of significant steel construction. There is reasonable assurance that if a fire in the Cable Spreading Room was to occur, it would not breach the ductwork (i.e., the pipe) based on the significant pipe construction, and be able to propagate down into the Battery Room.
e Although the combustible loading classification in the Cable Spreading Room is "HIGH," due to the large quantity of cable insulation in the area, installed fire protection features are provided to mitigate the effects of a fire.
e The combustible loading classification in the Battery Room is "LOW" and consists mainly of plastic associated with battery cases. The lack of significant fire hazards and combustible loading in Battery Room 1A precludes the possibility of a fire developing to such intensity as to breach the ventilation ductwork in the Battery Room and then breach the significant pipe construction provided in the Cable Spreading Room.
e Automatic detection system coverage will alert the fire brigade of fire conditions and automatic suppression system coverage will limit the intensity of a fire in the Cable Spreading Room.
e Transient combustibles, hot work, and ignition sources are controlled by administrative procedures that effectively reduce the possibility of fires in these areas.

Breaker F/FDR to the 4160V Bus from the Startup Transformer: This is a normally available, required open breaker that provides motive power to RR Pump A. The RR Pumps are required to trip to prevent a potential seal LOCA when REC is not available to provide cooling. This would challenge the NSPC for Inventory Control. Remote operation of the breaker from the Control Room is lost due to EE-PNL-AA1 cable DC311 being potentially damaged, and therefore a loss of control power to the breaker.
NOTE: REC Non-Critical Header is secured in this fire area to address potential containment over-pressure.

Also, the dampers at the wall boundary where the ventilation ductwork penetrates the barriers from Battery Rooms 1A and 1B to the Seal Water Pump Area and Corridor have been blocked open to ensure exhaust system operability. In addition, the fire doors in these barriers have NFPA 80 code deviations.
Conclusion        Based on the lack of significant combustible loading and fire hazards in the areas, the presence of 3-hour rated dampers that will provide significant fire separation regardless of the mounting position, and installed fire protection features including detection system coverage and manual suppression capabilities, the fire damper configurations are adequate for the fire hazards of the adjacent areas. The fire door code deviations include excessive door-to-door gap clearances and modifications made to ensure proper door operation.
Considering the lack of significant combustible loading and fire hazards in the area and administrative procedures controlling door operation, these deviations do not represent a significant decrease in fire safety.
Basis              The bases that justify this conclusion are summarized as follows:
e The combustible loading classification for Switchgear Rooms 1A and 1 B are "LOW" and is mainly attributed to miscellaneous plastics and transient loading allowances. There are few fixed combustibles in any of the zones and the equivalent fire severities are minimal. The combustible loading classification in the Corridor is also "LOW" and consists of miscellaneous cable, hose and plastic, and transient allowances.
9 The lack of significant combustible materials in the zones and the lack of intervening combustibles significantly reduce the chance of fire propagation between zones. Transient combustibles are controlled by plant procedures, effectively reducing the possibility of a fire involving transient materials.
e Each fire zone is provided with detection system coverage. In the event of a fire in the Switchgear Rooms or Corridor, detection system actuation will result in rapid fire brigade response and subsequent manual extinguishment utilizing hose stations and portable extinguishers strategically located in adjacent fire zones.
9 Based on the material and installation of the ventilation ducts, they are considered to prevent fire propagation for up to 1 hour.

Conclusion          Based on a review of the potential fire hazards located in Battery Room 1B, with the 1-hour fire-rated wall enclosure and the existing fire detection system, the existing barrier provided is adequate to prevent the fire spreading from Battery Room 1 B to the 1-hour fire-rated enclosure.
Basis              The bases that justify this conclusion are summarized as follows:
e The combustible loading classification for Battery Room 1 B is "LOW" and is mainly attributed to plastics and transient loading allowances. Battery Room 1B has an equivalent fire severity of 30 minutes. The combustible loading consists of cables routed in conduit riser. The lack of significant combustible materials in the zones and the lack of intervening combustibles significantly reduce the chance of fire propagation between zones.
e Based on the low combustible loading in Battery Room 1B, a fire will not be able to develop to such intensity as to challenge the as-installed configuration.
9 Battery Room 1B is provided with smoke detection system coverage. Detection system actuation will prompt rapid fire brigade response and manual extinguishment via portable extinguishers and manual hose stations strategically located in adjacent zones. Pre-fire plans are available for Battery Room 1B.
9 Transient combustibles, hot work, and ignition sources are controlled by administrative procedures that effectively reduce the possibility of a fire.
* Safe shutdown can be accomplished independent of Battery Room I B.

EEEE                            EE 09-040 - Evaluation of Auxiliary Relay Room and RPS Room 1B Appendix R Fire Barriers Purpose          This evaluation justifies the adequacy of ventilation duct penetrations, without fire-rated dampers, routed through the barriers that separate the Auxiliary Relay Room, RPS Room 1B, and RPS Room 1A on the 903'-
6" Elevation of the Control Building. Additionally, a fire rating cannot be assigned to the barriers due to miscellaneous door discrepancies concerning doors H 102, H103, and H104.
9 Door H102 separates RPS Room 1B (Fire Area CB-C) from the Seal Water Pump Area and Corridor (Fire Area CB-A)
* Doors H103 and H104 separate the Auxiliary Relay Room (Fire Area CB-D) from the Seal Water Pump Area and Corridor (Fire Area CB-A)
Conclusion        Based on the installed fire protection features, including detection system coverage and manual fire suppression capabilities, and the lack of significant fire hazards, and the types of combustible materials, the ventilation ductwork is sufficient to provide protection from spread of fire prior to fire brigade response and subsequent manual extinguishment, if necessary. Discrepancies concerning doors H102, H103, and H104 are relatively minor, and include door clearances, and minor modification for proper operation. These discrepancies are therefore not considered to affect fire safety. The separation that has been provided is considered to be adequate for the fire hazards of the areas.
Basis            The bases that justify this conclusion are summarized as follows:
e There are typically few fixed combustibles in any of the zones, and the equivalent fire severities are minimal. The exception is the Auxiliary Relay Room, which contains a significant amount of cable insulation in open cable trays routed at the ceiling elevation. The content of the RPS Room consists mainly of batteries.
The combustibles in the Corridor mainly consist of miscellaneous cable, hose and plastic, and transient allowances. Cables in the Corridor are routed in conduit, and potential ignition sources in the zones are limited to energized electrical equipment, typically in cabinets, and potential transient sources.
9 A cable tray fire in the Auxiliary Relay Room would be characterized as a slow propagating fire that has the potential to produce significant amounts of smoke. Based on the installed detection system coverage, fire brigade response and manual extinguishment would occur prior to the fire being able to breach the barrier via the ductwork.
o The lack of significant combustible materials in the remaining zones and the lack of intervening combustibles significantly reduce the chance of fire propagation between zones.

SW Train A is required to support various functions (SPC, HPCI and CS Quad cooling, REC, DGs, etc) for NSPC.
SPC Train A is the credited train of Decay Heat Removal. SW-MOV-MO89A is normally closed and with the loss of RHR-LOGIC-A power, the valve will not spuriously open. However, the loss of RHR logic will lock in the closed signal on the valve, securing SW flow to the RHR Heat Exchanger, and therefore result in a loss of SPC Train A.

For this reason, fire brigade activities are not expected to fail components not immediately involved in the fire scenario. It has been concluded that water impingement on cables is not a concern. There are no fixed suppression systems in the area and the RPS MG Set Room on the 903'-6" Elevation of the Control Building is not subject to any adverse effects by water intrusion from fire suppression systems. Since it is shown that suppression effects will not impact the NSPC, the Fire Area configuration is deemed acceptable.

EE.I itl                        EE 09-035 - Evaluation of Fire Doors Purpose            Fire door assemblies provided in fire-rated barriers may vary slightly from listed configurations, and may or may not provide the same fire rating as that required of the fire barrier. The evaluation documents the adequacy of the configurations that have been provided for fire doors D202, H105, H200, H201, H202, H306, H307, N103, N104, R6, R7, R101, R102, and R115, and justifies the continued use of the configurations, as they have been determined to provide a level of protection that is adequate for the fire hazards in the areas.

In general, minor variations to the configurations, such as conduit penetrations through the door frames, slightly larger gaps between doors and frames, and doors rated for less than that required of the barrier, have been evaluated as acceptable based on the fire hazards on either side of the barrier.
Basis              The bases that justify this conclusion are summarized as follows:
9 Transient combustibles, hot work, and ignition sources are controlled by administrative procedures that effectively reduce the possibility of fires in these areas.
e Fire hoses and portable extinguishers are strategically located throughout the plant for use by the responding fire brigade.
                                " Ventilation systems can typically be used for smoke and heat removal.
                                " Due to control of transient combustibles and ignition sources, door proximity to permanent combustibles, and fire area combustible loading, the majority of these doors will not be challenged by a credible fire. This effectively reduces the risk of the identified deviations.

o Actuation of the detection systems will prompt rapid fire brigade response and subsequent manual extinguishment.
EEEE Title                      EE 09-036 - Evaluation of Cable Expansion Room Penetration Seals Purpose            This evaluation documents the adequacy of the non-fire rated expansion joints in the Cable Expansion Room Appendix R fire barriers. In addition, conduit penetrations exist in the floor/ceiling assembly penetrating to the Office Building Corridor below that are not sealed with grout to the depth specified in the design details.
Conclusion          Based on the fire protection features provided in the Cable Expansion Room, including automatic suppression and detection system coverage, the ability to achieve safe shutdown independent of the area, and the lack of safe shutdown equipment/cables and combustible materials in the fire zone adjacent to the Cable Expansion Room, the configurations, as provided, are considered adequate.
Basis              The bases that justify this conclusion are summarized as follows:
* The expansion joints are provided with 14 gauge metal covers. The metal covers will provide some degree of fire protection to impede the spread of fire, smoke, and hot gases to the adjacent fire zones.
e An automatic sprinkler system and smoke detectors are provided in the Cable Expansion Room. In the event of a fire in the area, detection system actuation will result in alarm in the Control Room, fire brigade response, and subsequent manual extinguishment utilizing hose stations and portable extinguishers.
e The presence of automatic detection and suppression ensures that a fire will be limited by automatic or manual suppression, such that breaching of the barriers via the expansion joints or conduit penetrations will be limited.
e Transient combustibles, hot work, and ignition sources are controlled by administrative procedures that effectively reduce the possibility of a fire.

6" Elevation of the Control Building. Additionally, a fire rating cannot be assigned to the barriers due to miscellaneous door discrepancies concerning doors H102, H103, and H104.
9 Door H102 separates RPS Room 1B (Fire Area CB-C) from the Seal Water Pump Area and Corridor (Fire Area CB-A)
* Doors H103 and H104 separate the Auxiliary Relay Room (Fire Area CB-D) from the Seal Water Pump Area and Corridor (Fire Area CB-A)
Conclusion        Based on the installed fire protection features, including detection system coverage and manual fire suppression capabilities, and the lack of significant fire hazards, and the types of combustible materials, the ventilation ductwork is sufficient to provide protection from spread of fire prior to fire brigade response and subsequent manual extinguishment, if necessary. Discrepancies concerning doors H102, H103, and H104 are relatively minor, and include door clearances, and minor modification for proper operation. These discrepancies are therefore not considered to affect fire safety. The separation that has been provided is considered to be adequate for the fire hazards of the areas.
Basis              The bases that justify this conclusion are summarized as follows:
* There are typically few fixed combustibles in any of the zones, and the equivalent fire severities are minimal. The exception is the Auxiliary Relay Room, which contains a significant amount of cable insulation in open cable trays routed at the ceiling elevation. The content of the RPS Room consists mainly of batteries.
The combustibles in the Corridor mainly consist of miscellaneous cable, hose and plastic, and transient allowances. Cables in the Corridor are routed in conduit, and potential ignition sources in the zones are limited to energized electrical equipment, typically in cabinets, and potential transient sources.
* A cable tray fire in the Auxiliary Relay Room would be characterized as a slow propagating fire that has the potential to produce significant amounts of smoke. Based on the installed detection system coverage, fire brigade response and manual extinguishment would occur prior to the fire being able to breach the barrier via the ductwork.
* The lack of significant combustible materials in the remaining zones and the lack of intervening combustibles significantly reduce the chance of fire propagation between zones.
* Transient combustibles, hot work, and ignition sources are controlled by administrative procedures that effectively reduce the possibility of a fire.

e Sheet metal ductwork is recognized by the NFPA to provide up to 1-hour fire separation when properly hung, and the fire is stopped.
e Each fire zone is provided with detection system coverage.

The damper has been blocked open to ensure exhaust system operability, as accidental closure would render the exhaust system inoperable. In addition, steel pipe has been used as ventilation ductwork in the Cable Spreading Room, which is not typical for ventilation.
Conclusion        Based on the significant construction of the assembly, the lack of significant fire hazards and combustible loading, and the presence of installed fire protection features including fire detection and fixed fire suppression, the configuration that has been provided is adequate for the fire hazards of the areas.
Basis              The bases that justify this conclusion are summarized as follows:
e The duct assembly in the Cable Spreading Room is of significant steel construction. There is reasonable assurance that if a fire in the Cable Spreading Room was to occur, it would not breach the ductwork (i.e., the pipe) based on the significant pipe construction, and be able to propagate down into the Battery Room.
e Although the combustible loading classification in the Cable Spreading Room is "HIGH," due to the large quantity of cable insulation in the area, installed fire protection features are provided to mitigate the effects of a fire.
e The combustible loading classification in the Battery Room is "LOW" and consists mainly of plastic associated with battery cases. The lack of significant fire hazards and combustible loading in Battery Room 1A precludes the possibility of a fire developing to such intensity as to breach the ventilation ductwork in the Battery Room and then breach the significant pipe construction provided in the Cable Spreading Room.
9 Automatic detection system coverage will alert the fire brigade of fire conditions and automatic suppression system coverage will limit the intensity of a fire in the Cable Spreading Room.
* Transient combustibles, hot work, and ignition sources are controlled by administrative procedures that effectively reduce the possibility of fires in these areas.

Conclusion        Based on the construction of the assembly, the lack of significant fire hazards and combustible loading and the presence of installed fire protection features including fire detection, the configuration that has been provided is adequate for the fire hazards of the areas.
Basis              The bases that justify this conclusion are summarized as follows:
e The Control Room is constantly attended. Any anticipated fire would be quickly discovered and extinguished in its incipient stage.
* The two larger vent ducts are at an elevation approximately 12 feet above the floor, which is above the suspended ceilings in the corridor. It is, therefore, unlikely that a fire would cause direct flame exposure to the duct in the corridor.
9 The corridor area is essentially void of any significant combustible loading with the exception of miscellaneous combustibles stored in closed metal lockers. There are essentially no combustibles normally located in the corridor near the duct penetrations. It is extremely unlikely that the penetrations would ever be exposed to a significant fire.
e Fire propagation from the Control Room to the corridor is considered inconsequential from a safe shutdown standpoint since the office corridor does not contain any safe shutdown cables or equipment.
9 Transient combustibles, hot work, and ignition sources are controlled by administrative procedures that effectively reduce the possibility of fires in these areas.
* There are no openings, such as ventilation grills, on either side of the wall in the large ducts to allow flame propagation to enter the ductwork.
* The Battery Room exhaust duct is a Schedule 80 pipe. Fire propagation into or through this pipe is not considered a credible event, as it is of significant construction so as to prevent fire spread.

SW Train B is required to support various functions (SPC, HPCI and CS Quad cooling, REC, DGs, etc) for NSPC. HPCI is credited for Inventory Control, SPC Train B is credited for Decay Heat Removal, REC Train B provides cooling for RHR Pump 1D and the RHR and HPCI Rooms (Quads), and SW Train B provides the cooling for REC and RHR Heat Exchangers (DGs not credited). The complete loss or diversion of SW to REC could challenge these NSPC.

(2) HPCI Room cooling flow may not be available due to cable failures to FIS indication.
(3) REC-MOV-695MV is not controlled from the ASD Room, and cable failure removes the ability to remotely close the valve prior to leaving the Control Room.
(4) REC-MOV-714MV is not controlled from ASD Room, and cable failure removes the ability to remotely close the valve prior to leaving the Control Room.
(5) Cable damage may cause SW-AOV-TCV451 B to fail closed, securing the Reactor Building SW flow returning from the REC system, removing cooling flow to the HPCI and RHR Pumps.
(6) SW-MOV-37MV is not controlled from the ASD Room, and may need to be closed to isolate the diversion of SW flow from the critical SW and REC loads to the non-critical SW loads.
(7) SW-MOV-651 MV is not controlled from the ASD Room, and needs to be closed to prevent flow diversion from the SW system to the REC Heat Exchanger, which is bypassed in ASD lineup.
(8) SW-MOV-887 is not controlled from the ASD Room, and needs to be open to supply SW to the REC Critical Header.
(9) SW-MOV-889 is not controlled from the ASD Room, and needs to be open to supply SW to the REC Critical Header.
(10) SW-STNR-B based on cable failures may lose its automatic features, resulting in clogging of the strainer and reducing/securing SW flow.
This is a separation issue for Inventory and Pressure Control and Decay Heat Removal.

The NSCA require at least one source of AC power be available. Offsite power from the Emergency Transformer is unavailable using the normal transfer mode due to fire damage to supply breakers feeding the 4160G Bus.
There are multiple breaker and cables affected on the 4160F Bus. Multiple cables that support EE-CB-4160F-1 FS are also damaged due to fire, and may close the breaker.
The EE-CB-4160G-1GB breaker is normally closed, and should open as part of the transfer process due to loss of the Start-Up Transformer, but cable damage to H561 may not allow it to open. The DG and Emergency Transformer are not rated to normally carry both the Vital and Non-Vital buses. Additionally, the DG2/1GS breakers are interlocked with the BG/GB breakers, and will not close if the breaker is not opened.
Cable damage (C730, H571, H572, H573) due to fire could close EE-CB-4160G-1GE, or blow its control power fuses. The breaker is normally closed, and needs to be open to allow for control of the DG and not allow damage to the DG or the bus if the DG came onto the bus out-of-phase.
Based on cable failure (C730, H551, H552, H553, H555, X10) due to fire damage, breaker EE-CB-4160G-1GS may trip open or blow control power fuses, and not close.

Cable damage may result in the spurious opening of CRD-SOV-SO31A and CRD-SOV-SO31 B. This opening of the CRD Scram Discharge Volume Vent and Drain Valve SOVs would result in loss of RPV Inventory to the Reactor Building Sumps and then Radwaste. The NSCA require a means of isolating the RPV post-fire to ensure sufficient water inventory. Based on CNS-PSA-007, the flow rate from CRD seal leakage is assumed to be 450 to 600 gpm initially, reducing to 73 gpm after 70 minutes, and down to 40 gpm after 4 hours, based on all CRD seals leaking at the same time at the maximum amount prior to repair.

SPC Train B is the credited train for Decay Heat Removal. The complete loss of RHR flow, or the diversion of flow, would challenge this NSPC.
Based on cable failure, valve RHR-MOV-MO20 may spuriously open, resulting in a 20-inch flow diversion through the bypass line, resulting in a loss or reduction of flow during the SPC Train B mode of operation.
The normal method of operation of RHR-MOV-MO26B during ASD would be to remove control power fuses (3C), and operate from the MCC starter or local handwheel. Control cable damage may spuriously operate this valve prior to removing the control power fuses. The feeder cable is undamaged. RHR-MOV-M026B presents a 10-inch diversion path to establishing SPC Train B.
The normal method of operation of RHR-MOV-MO57 during ASD would be to remove control power fuses and operate from the MCC starter or local handwheel. Control cable damage may spuriously operate this valve prior to removing the control power fuses. The feeder cable is undamaged. RHR-MOV-MO57 presents a 4-inch diversion path to establishing SPC Train B.
Due to multiple damaged cables, the RHR Pump breaker may fail to close automatically or remotely. This would result in a loss of Decay Heat Removal for SPC Train B.
Based on cable damage to RHRSW Booster Pump breakers, neither breaker can be closed removing remote operability of SW-MOV-MO89B. The valve is normally closed, and is required to be open to establish SW flow through the RHR Heat Exchanger.

The NSPC require a means to provide Decay Heat Removal post-fire. SPC Train B is credited for Decay Heat Removal. The loss of containment over-pressure could result in the loss of Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) for the credited RHR Pump during the SPC mode of operation.
Cable damage to the SOVs associated with RW-AOV-AO82, RW-AOV-AO83, RW-AOV-AO94, and RW-AOV-AO95 may result in spurious opening. These valves isolate the drywell equipment and floor drain sump discharge paths, and their opening would result in a loss of containment over-pressure.
REC-MOV-712MV and REC-MOV-713MV isolate the REC Critical and Non-Critical Headers. The valves are normally open, and are required to be closed to secure flow to the Drywell Coolers. Based on cable damage and Control Room abandonment, remote operation of these valves is not possible.
Cable damage to M355 (PC-AOV-245AV) and M358 (PC-AOV-246AV) may cause the valves to fail open.
These valves are normally closed and desired closed. Spurious opening of these valves results in Containment and Suppression Chamber vent/purge lines opening, resulting in loss of containment over-pressure.

For this reason, fire brigade activities are not expected to fail components not immediately involved in the fire scenario. It has been concluded that water impingement on cables is not a concern. Per MWR 91-1264, electrical cabinets and conduit have been sealed to mitigate the effects of suppression activities. In the event of normal operation, the pre-action and automatic wet pipe suppression systems will not adversely effect the other equipment operating within the Fire Zone. The possibility of inadvertent actuation of the pre-action suppression system in the Cable Spreading Room is not assumed since the suppression lines are not under constant pressure. The drainage features and equipment pedestals mitigate the potential for flooding damage due to fire suppression, such that the standing water would not affect safety-related equipment. In the event of normal operation, the Halon system will not adversely effect the other equipment operating within the Fire Zone, as potential corrosion developing on equipment is a long term issue that would be significantly reduced by extensive post-discharge clean up. Since it is shown that suppression effects will not impact the NSPC, the Fire Area configuration is deemed acceptable.
Fire Area Comments In Fire Zone 9A, fire insulated board has been installed to around Division II power feeds near the floor. Cable trays C209, C212, C213, C232 and C233 in Fire Zone 9A are provided with solid bottom 1/4" asbestos boards, and the trays below are provided with solid metal covers.
In Fire Zone 9A, flame impingement shielding is being installed for cable trays and conduit to prevent damage from fires involving panels PMIS-MUX-LNK6 and PMIS-MUX-LNK7. See LAR Attachment S, Table S-2, Item S-2.7.
In Fire Zone 9B a flame impingement shield has been installed beneath the Division II conduit bank.

For this reason, fire brigade activities are not expected to fail components not immediately involved in the fire scenario. It has been concluded that water impingement on cables is not a concern. Per MWR 91-1264, electrical cabinets and conduit have been sealed to mitigate the effects of suppression activities. The drainage features and equipment pedestals mitigate the potential for flooding damage due to fire suppression, such that the standing water would not affect safety-related equipment.
In the event of normal operation, the carbon dioxide system will not adversely effect the other equipment operating within the Fire Zone as potential condensation developing on electrical components is a long term issue that would be eliminated by ventilating the compartment after actuation. Per drawing FH-16282, all carbon dioxide nozzles are located greater than five feet away from any equipment included in the PRA analysis, and therefore, the possibility of thermal shock due to carbon dioxide actuation has been deemed to be a non-issue in this Fire Area.
Since it is shown that suppression effects will not impact the NSPC, the Fire Area configuration is deemed acceptable.

SW Train A and B are required to support various functions (SPC, HPCI and CS Quad cooling, REC, DGs, etc) for NSPC. CS is credited for Inventory Control, SPC is credited for Decay Heat Removal, REC provides cooling for RHR Pumps and the HPCI, RCIC, RHR and CS Pump Rooms (Quads), and SW provides the cooling for REC and RHR Heat Exchangers (DGs not credited). The diversion could challenge these NSPCs during single SW pump operation.
Fire in the area could result in physical damage to component cabling and result in the spurious opening without the ability to remotely close either or both valves. These valves support the SW system supply side cross connection and non-vital load isolation.
This is a separation issue for Inventory and Pressure Control, Vital Auxiliaries, and Decay Heat Removal.

SW Train B is required to support various functions (SPC, HPCI and CS Quad cooling, REC, DGs, etc) for NSPC.
The NSPC require a means of maintaining and controlling RPV water inventory post-fire. CS Train B is the credited train. SW-AOV-TCV451 B controls the outlet flow from REC Heat Exchanger B. REC Train B is the credited train for supporting RHR Pump cooling, the credited RHR Pump for SPC, and Quad cooling for the RHR Pump and CS Pump Rooms. Cable damage to M923 could result in SW-AOV-TCV451B remaining energized, essentially locking the valve in the closed position, securing flow through the Heat Exchanger. Cable M923 is routed in a dedicated conduit in this area. If the valve fails to open, this causes a no-flow condition for SW through the credited REC Heat Exchanger, removing the REC ability to cool the credited RHR Pump for SPC and Quad cooling for the RHR and CS Pumps.

SW Train B is required to support various functions (SPC, HPCI and CS Quad cooling, REC, DGs, etc) for NSPC. SPC Train B is the credited train of Decay Heat Removal. The valve is normally closed and cable damage to M923 may cause the valve to spuriously open, or not allow it to open electrically. If the valve fully opens with the RHRSW Booster Pump operating, this may cause the pump to run out, damaging the pump. Ifthe valve fails to open, this causes a no-flow condition for SW through the credited RHR Heat Exchanger, removing the ability to cool the credited SPC Train B for Decay Heat Removal.

In general, minor variations to the configurations, such as conduit penetrations through the door frames, slightly larger gaps between doors and frames, and doors rated for less than that required of the barrier, have been evaluated as acceptable based on the fire hazards on either side of the barrier.
Basis              The bases that justify this conclusion are summarized as follows:
9 Transient combustibles, hot work, and ignition sources are controlled by administrative procedures that effectively reduce the possibility of fires in these areas.
9 Fire hoses and portable extinguishers are strategically located throughout the plant for use by the responding fire brigade.
* Ventilation systems can typically be used for smoke and heat removal.
                                " Due to control of transient combustibles and ignition sources, door proximity to permanent combustibles, and fire area combustible loading, the majority of these doors will not be challenged by a credible fire. This effectively reduces the risk of the identified deviations.

For this reason, fire brigade activities are not expected to fail components not immediately involved in the fire scenario. It has been concluded that water impingement on cables is not a concern. Per MWR 91-1264, electrical cabinets and conduit have been sealed to mitigate the effects of suppression activities. The drainage features and equipment pedestals mitigate the potential for flooding damage due to fire suppression, such that the standing water would not affect safety-related equipment. Since it is shown that suppression effects will not impact the NSPC, the Fire Area configuration is deemed acceptable.

In general, minor variations to the configurations, such as conduit penetrations through the door frames, slightly larger gaps between doors and frames, and doors rated for less than that required of the barrier, have been evaluated as acceptable based on the fire hazards on either side of the barrier.
Basis              The bases that justify this conclusion are summarized as follows:
o Transient combustibles, hot work, and ignition sources are controlled by administrative procedures that effectively reduce the possibility of fires in these areas.
* Fire hoses and portable extinguishers are strategically located throughout the plant for use by the responding fire brigade.
                                " Ventilation systems can typically be used for smoke and heat removal.
* Due to control of transient combustibles and ignition sources, door proximity to permanent combustibles, and fire area combustible loading, the majority of these doors will not be challenged by a credible fire. This effectively reduces the risk of the identified deviations.

The NSPC require a means of Decay Heat Removal post-fire. SPC Train B is the credited train of Decay Heat Removal. RHR-MOV-MO20 is normally closed, and is desired closed during SPC mode of operation.
Based on cable failure, the valve may spuriously open, resulting in a 20-inch flow diversion through the bypass line. This results in a loss or reduction of flow during the SPC Train B mode of operation.
Spurious opening of RHR-MOV-MO25B, and inability to close normally open RHR-MOV-MO27B (20-inch flow diversion path) would result in loss of SPC Train B. An IN 92-18 concern (MBR2) may prevent ability to close RHR-MOV-MO25B and isolate the flow diversion.

SW Train B is required to support various functions (SPC, HPCI and CS Quad cooling, REC, DGs, etc) for NSPC. CS Train B is credited for Inventory Control, SPC Train B is credited for Decay Heat Removal, REC Train B provides cooling for RHR Pump 1 D and the RHR and CS Pump Rooms (Quads), and SW Train B provides the cooling for REC and RHR Heat Exchangers (DGs not credited). The complete loss or diversion of SW to REC could challenge these NSPC.
Based on fire location on the 903' Elevation, heat up of the Quads is not expected due to the fire location.
Based on cable failures, the REC and SW systems need to be manually aligned for SW Train B to supply REC Train B (Critical Header only), and keep pressure on the REC Train A Header.
Cable damage (MY344) for SW-MOV-37MV could remove the ability to close the valve if already open.
This would divert flow to non-critical loads and the non-credited SW Train with only a single SW Pump available. This reduction in flow may not allow sufficient cooling to REC and RHR Heat Exchangers. The valve splits the SW Train B from SW Train A and the non-essential loads.

For this reason, fire brigade activities are not expected to fail components not immediately involved in the fire scenario. It has been concluded that water impingement on cables is not a concern. Per MWR 91-1264, electrical cabinets and conduit have been sealed to mitigate the effects of suppression activities. The drainage features and equipment pedestals mitigate the potential for flooding damage due to fire suppression, such that the standing water would not affect safety-related equipment. Since it is shown that suppression effects will not impact the NSPC, the Fire Area configuration is deemed acceptable.

In general, minor variations to the configurations, such as conduit penetrations through the door frames, slightly larger gaps between doors and frames, and doors rated for less than that required of the barrier, have been evaluated as acceptable based on the fire hazards on either side of the barrier.
Basis              The bases that justify this conclusion are summarized as follows:
* Transient combustibles, hot work, and ignition sources are controlled by administrative procedures that effectively reduce the possibility of fires in these areas.
e Fire hoses and portable extinguishers are strategically located throughout the plant for use by the responding fire brigade.
* Ventilation systems can typically be used for smoke and heat removal.
                                " Due to control of transient combustibles and ignition sources, door proximity to permanent combustibles, and fire area combustible loading, the majority of these doors will not be challenged by a credible fire. This effectively reduces the risk of the identified deviations.

Cable damage may result in the spurious opening of CRD-SOV-SO31A and CRD-SOV-SO31 B. This opening of the CRD Scram Discharge Volume Vent and Drain Valve SOVs would result in loss of RPV Inventory to the Reactor Building Sumps and then Radwaste. The NSCA require a means of isolating the RPV post-fire to ensure sufficient water inventory. Based on CNS-PSA-007, the CRD seal leakage flow rate is assumed to be 450 to 600 gpm initially, reducing to 73 gpm after 70 minutes, and down to 40 gpm after 4 hours, based on all CRD seals leaking at the same time at the maximum amount prior to repair.

Breakers F/FDR to the 4160V Bus from the Startup Transformer: These are normally available, required open breakers that provides motive power to the RR Pumps. The RR Pumps are required to trip to prevent a potential seal LOCA when REC is not available to provide cooling. This would challenge the NSPC for Inventory Control. REC is secured in this fire area to address a potential loss of containment over-pressure. Remote operation of the breaker(s) from the Control Room is lost due to cables H254 (1 C bus) and H294 (1 D bus) fire-induced damage.

Spurious opening of HPCI-MOV-MO15 (HPCI Steam Admission Valve) due to cable damage on HP185, would result in a rapid RPV overfill condition. This VFDR concern is limited to fires occurring at RB 903' Elevation. HPCI is not credited in this area for NSCA success. Core Spray Train A is available.
Cable damage can cause HPCI-MOV-MO15 to not be able to be closed from the Control Room. This failure would result in the rapid RPV overfill condition if HPCI-MOV-MO14 spuriously opens. This VFDR concern is limited to fires occurring at the Reactor Building 859' and 881' Elevations. HPCI is not credited in this area for NSCA success. Core Spray Train A is available.

The NSPC require the ability to isolate the RPV to maintain water inventory above the active fuel.
Spurious operations could result in the opening of up to four ADS valves. SPV71A, SPV71 B, SPV71 C, and SPV71D utilize penetration X-100-G and SPV71E, SPV71F, SPV71G, and SPV71H utilize penetration X-100-A. Based on physical separation of these penetrators, at least one should survive limiting the total number of valves affected at any one time to 4 of the 8. The NSPC could be challanged if the affected ADS valves are not returned to their fail-safe closed position within 18 minutes for single spurious operation.
NOTE: SPV71A, SPV71B, SPV71C, and SPV71D spurious cables are only impacted by a full zone burn out of Fire Zone 2A-3 in this area. SPV71E, SPV71 F, SPV71G, and SPV71H are impacted in Fire Zone 2C scenarios and within full zone burnout in this area.

SW Train A is required to support various functions (SPC, RCIC and CS Quad cooling, REC, DGs, etc) for the NSPC. CS Train A is credited for RPV Inventory Control, SPC Train A is credited for Decay Heat Removal, REC-A provides cooling for RHR Pump 1A and the RHR and CS Pump Rooms (Quads), and SW Train A provides the cooling for REC and RHR Heat Exchangers (DGs not credited). The complete loss or diversion of SW to REC could challenge these NSPC.
Current requirements indicate 1 hour to establish room cooling.
NOTE: Based on fire location on the 903' Elevation, additional heat up of the Quad due to contribution of the fire is not expected due to the fire location.
Based on cable failures, the REC and SW systems need to be aligned for SW Train A to supply the REC Train A Critical Header only, and keep pressure on the REC Train B Critical Header.

The NSPC require a means of Decay Heat Removal post-fire. SPC Train A is the credited source of Decay Heat Removal for this area. SW-MOV-MO89A is normally closed, and damage to RHR-Logic A automatic operations or control from the Control Room would not be available. This valve failing to open results in a no-flow condition for SW through the credited RHR Heat Exchanger. This removes the ability to cool the credited SPC Train A for Decay Heat Removal.
RHR-MOV-MO27A is a normally open valve, and the injection line is isolated by RHR-MOV-MO25A. RHR-MOV-MO25A fails open in this area, and based on cable damage, neither RHR-MOV-MO25A nor RHR-MOV-MO27A can be closed remotely to isolate the injection line. The spurious opening of RHR-MOV-M025A, along with inability to close either valve, results in a 20-inch diversion to the SPC Train A flow path. An IN 92-18 concern may prevent ability to close RHR-MOV-MO25A and isolate the flow diversion.

For this reason, fire brigade activities are not expected to fail components not immediately involved in the fire scenario. It has been concluded that water impingement on cables is not a concern. Per MWR 91-1264, electrical cabinets and conduit have been sealed to mitigate the effects of suppression activities. In the event of normal operation, the pre-action system will not adversely effect the other equipment operating within the Fire Zone. The drainage features and equipment pedestals mitigate the potential for flooding damage due to fire suppression, such that the standing water would not affect safety-related equipment. Since it is shown that suppression effects will not impact the NSPC, the Fire Area configuration is deemed acceptable.

In general, minor variations to the configurations, such as conduit penetrations through the door frames, slightly larger gaps between doors and frames, and doors rated for less than that required of the barrier, have been evaluated as acceptable based on the fire hazards on either side of the barrier.
Basis              The bases that justify this conclusion are summarized as follows:
* Transient combustibles, hot work, and ignition sources are controlled by administrative procedures that effectively reduce the possibility of fires in these areas.
e Fire hoses and portable extinguishers are strategically located throughout the plant for use by the responding fire brigade.
                                " Ventilation systems can typically be used for smoke and heat removal.
                                " Due to control of transient combustibles and ignition sources, door proximity to permanent combustibles, and fire area combustible loading, the majority of these doors will not be challenged by a credible fire. This effectively reduces the risk of the identified deviations.

Description        Preventing loss of containment over-pressure in support of RHR pump operation for SPC operation (PC-AOV-245AV, RW-AOV-AO82, and RW-AOV-AO94).
The NSPC requires a means of Decay Heat Removal post-fire. SPC Train A is credited for Decay Heat Removal. The loss of containment over-pressure could result in the loss of NPSH for the credited RHR pump during the SPC mode of operation.
RW-AOV-AO82, RW-AOV-AO83, RW-AOV-AO94, and RW-AOV-AO95 cables are all affected by the fire and may spuriously open. These valves isolate the Drywell Equipment and Floor Drain Sump discharge path and would result in a loss of containment over-pressure.
Both PC-AOV-245AV and PC-MOV-230MV cables are affected by the fire and may spuriously open.
These valves isolate the Vent and Purge path from the Suppression Chamber, and would result in a loss of containment over-pressure.
This is a separation issue for Decay Heat Removal.

The NSCA require a means of monitoring Torus level. PCDPT-3A1 and PC-DPT-3B2 are affected, due to sensing lines located in the Torus fire area. The PCDPT-3A1 sensing line is located in the Northeast quadrant of the Torus. The PC-DPT-3B2 sensing line is located in the Southeast quadrant of the Torus. A separation of approximately 75 feet exists between the redundant sensing lines.
NOTE: Fire scenarios in RB-E consist of a non-ventilated electrical panel and transient fires. Based on NEDC 09-101, "EPM Report R1906-71 1-RB - Detailed Fire Modeling Report Fire Compartment RB," there are no secondary combustibles that would be involved in the fires postulated in this fire compartment.
Therefore, the zone of influence of the fire scenarios in RB-E are not large enough to result in damage to targets located 75 feet apart.
The NSCA require a means of monitoring Torus temperature. PC-TR-24 provides Torus temperature indication for Primary Containment.
This is a separation issue for Process Monitoring.

SW Train A is required to support various functions (SPC, RCIC and CS Quad cooling, REC, DGs, etc) for NSPC. CS Train A is credited for Inventory and Pressure Control, SPC Train A is credited for Decay Heat Removal, REC Train A provides cooling for RHR Pump 1A and the RHR and CS Pump Rooms (Quads) and SW Train A provides the cooling for REC and RHR Heat Exchangers (DGs not credited).
The complete loss of SW to the Reactor Building could challenge these NSPC.
SW-MOV-MO89A is normally closed, and cable damage (M920 and M921) to this valve may cause spurious operation to open, with automatic operation or control from the Control Room would not be available. This valve failing to open results in a no-flow condition for SW through the credited RHR Heat Exchanger. This removes the ability to cool the credited SPC Train A for Decay Heat Removal.
CS Train A is the credited train. SW-AOV-TCV451A controls the outlet flow from the REC Heat Exchanger A. REC Train A is the credited train for supporting RHR Pump cooling, and the credited RHR Pump for SPC and Quad cooling for the RHR Pump and CS Pump Rooms. Cable damage to M920, M921, and REC-TIC- 451A could result in SW-AOV-TCV451A remaining energized, essentially locking the valve in the closed position, securing flow through the Heat Exchanger. Cable M920, M921, and M923 are routed in a dedicated conduit in this area. If the valve fails to open, this causes a no-flow condition for SW through the credited REC Heat Exchanger removing the REC ability to cool the credited RHR Pump for SPC and Quad cooling for the RHR Pump and CS Pump Rooms.
This is a separation issue for Inventory and Pressure Control and Decay Heat Removal.

TEE                          05-034 - Evaluation of the Reclassification of Door R1 04 Under the FHA Purpose          The purpose of this evaluation is to permanently reclassify door R104 from a 3-hour fire door to a 1-hour fire door required to separate Fire Area RB-FN/Fire Zone 2A-1 (Reactor Building 903'-6" Northeast Corner) and Fire Area TB-C/Fire Zone 2E (Steam Tunnel).
Conclusion        It is acceptable to revise the fire barrier between Fire Area RB-FN/Fire Zone 2A-1, and Fire Area TB-C/Fire Zone 2E from a 3-hour rated barrier to a 1-hour fire rated barrier.
Basis            The bases that justify this conclusion are summarized as follows:
* Ignition sources near door R104 include, but are not limited to: MCC-K, RCIC Rack, and Condensate Pumps CP-R-A1 and A2. Each of these ignition sources is spatially separated from door R104 by approximately 5 feet or more. In the case of MCC-K, as much as approximately 15 feet. A postulated fire at each of these ignition sources would propagate upward into the cable raceways. Horizontal propagation will not occur due to the scarcity and discontinuity of combustibles in the zone. Without horizontal propagation of the postulated fire, no challenge can be made to door R104.
e The combustible loading calculation, NEDC 93-161, shows that the primary contributor of combustibles in Reactor Building Elev. 903'-6" are located 20 feet above the floor in the overhead cable raceways. These cables are fire retardant and are equivalent to IEEE-383 rated cable. Fire in the cable raceways would not present a fire severity of greater than 1 hour to door R1 04 due to a spatial separation of 10 feet or more.
9 This area is also equipped with fire and smoke detection as well as fire suppression. The smoke and fire detections systems would ensure immediate fire brigade response. The fire suppression system alone will mitigate any postulated fire at the floor level, well before the fire reaches a severity of greater than 1 hour.

Basis              The bases that justify this conclusion are summarized as follows:
* Transient combustibles, hot work, and ignition sources are controlled by administrative procedures that effectively reduce the possibility of fires in these areas.
* Fire hoses and portable extinguishers are strategically located throughout the plant for use by the responding fire brigade.
                                " Ventilation systems can typically be used for smoke and heat removal.
                                " Due to control of transient combustibles and ignition sources, door proximity to permanent combustibles, and fire area combustible loading, the majority of these doors will not be challenged by a credible fire. This effectively reduces the risk of the identified deviations.

The NSCA require at least one source of AC power available. Offsite power from the Emergency Transformer is unavailable using the normal transfer mode due to fire damage to supply breakers feeding the 4160G Bus.
There are multiple breaker and cables affected on the 4160F Bus. Multiple cables that support EE-CB-4160F-1FS are also damaged due to fire and may close the breaker.
Due to cable damage on the UV circuit for the 4160G Bus, in addition to cable damage listed below, all breakers need to be operated.
                                - The EE-CB-4160G-1GB breaker is normally closed, and should open as part of the transfer process due to loss of Startup Transformer, but cable damage to H561 may not allow it to open. The DG and Emergency Transformer are not rated to normally carry both the vital and non-vital buses. Additionally, the DG2/1 GS breakers are interlocked with the BG/GB breakers, and will not close if the breaker is not opened.
                                -Cable damage (H572, H573) due to fire could close EE-CB-4160G-1GE or blow its control power fuses.
The breaker is normally closed and needs to be open to allow for control of the DG, and not allow damage to the DG or the bus if the DG came onto the bus out-of-phase.
                                -Based on cable failure (H551, H552, H553, H555) due to fire damage, the 4160G-1GS Breaker may trip open or blow control power fuses and not close.
                                -Cable damage to H542 and H543 may cause EE-CB-4160G-SS1G to trip open. Opening this breaker causes a loss of power to the 480V G Bus. The breaker is normally closed and is desired closed to support NSPC requirements for Process Monitoring and Decay Heat Removal.
                                *EE-CB-4160G-RSWPI B-OCT may not trip due to potential fire damage to the control and load cables, resulting in loss of the credited 4160G Bus.

Cable damage may result in the spurious opening of CRD-SOV-SO31A and CRD-SOV-SO31B. This opening of the CRD Scram Discharge Volume Vent and Drain Valve SOVs would result in loss of RPV Inventory to the Reactor Building Sumps and then Radwaste. The NSCA require a means of isolating the RPV post-fire to ensure sufficient water inventory. Based on CNS-PSA-007, the CRD seal leakage flow rate is assumed to be 450 to 600 gpm initially, reducing to 73 gpm after 70 minutes, and down to 40 gpm after 4 hours, based on all CRD seals leaking at the same time at the maximum amount prior to repair.

SPC Train B is the credited train for Decay Heat Removal. The complete loss of RHR flow, or the diversion of flow, would challenge this NSPC.
Cable damage to the Control Room indication RHR-FI-133B requires monitoring flow at the unaffected ASD Room indication.
Cable damage to RHR-MOV-MO12B may cause the valve to spuriously close securing discharge from the RHR Heat Exchanger. Control is shifted to the ASD Panel.
Based on cable damage, RHR-MOV-MO13D may spuriously close, therefore, not allowing for a suction path from the Suppression Pool to establish SPC flow. Control is shifted to the ASD Panel.
RHR-MOV-MO16B is normally open to ensure a discharge flow path to prevent damage to the RHR Pumps. Based on cable damage, the valve will not be able to close from the Control Room, therefore, resulting in a 4-inch flow diversion from SPC mode of operation.
Based on cable failure, RHR-MOV-MO20 may spuriously open, resulting in a 20-inch flow diversion through the bypass line, resulting in a loss or reduction of flow during SPC Train B mode of operation.
Control cable damage may spuriously operate RHR-MOV-MO26B. Thefeeder cable is undamaged. RHR-MOV-MO26B represents a 10-inch diversion path to establishing SPC Train B.
Both RHR-MOV-MO27B and RHR-MOV-MO25B have cable damage which would allow 24-inch flow diversion from SPC flow.
Based on cable failures to RHR-MOV-34B, RHR-MOV-MO38B, and RHR-MOV-MO39B, a return path to the Suppression Pool for SPC Train B may not be available.

RHR-MOV-MO65B cable damage may result in spurious closure isolating flow to the RHR Heat Exchanger in SPC Train B mode.
RHR-MOV-MO66B, while normally open, is desired to be closed for SPC Train B operation. Cable damage will not allow for closure of the valve from the Control Room, resulting in the bypass of the RHR Heat Exchanger.
Due to multiple damaged cables, the RHR Pump breaker may fail to close automatically or remotely. This would result in a loss of Decay Heat Removal for SPC Train B.
Based on cable damage to the RHRSW Booster Pump breakers, they cannot be closed. This removes electrical control of RHR-MOV-MO89B and secures SW flow to the RHR Heat Exchanger.

The NSPC require a means of Decay Heat Removal post-fire. SPC Train B is credited for Decay Heat Removal. The loss of containment over-pressure could result in the loss of NPSH for the credited RHR pump during SPC mode of operation.
Cable damage to the SOVs associated with RW-AOV-AO82, RW-AOV-AO83, RW-AOV-AO93, and RW-AOV-AO94 may result in spurious opening. These valves isolate the Drywell Equipment and Floor Drain Sump discharge paths, and their opening would result in a loss of containment over-pressure.
REC-MOV-712MV and REC-MOV-713MV isolate the REC Critical and Non-Critical Headers. The valves are normally open, and are required to close to secure flow to the Drywell coolers. Based on cable damage and Control Room abandonment, remote operation of these valves is not possible.
Cable damage to M355 (PC-AOV-245AV) and M358 (PC-AOV-246AV) may cause the valves to fail open.

For this reason, fire brigade activities are not expected to fail components not immediately involved in the fire scenario. It has been concluded that water impingement on cables is not a concern. The CRD solenoid-operated valves and the Scram Discharge Volume level instruments will be impacted by actuation of the suppression system. Motor Control Center EE-MCC-K is provided with horizontal spray shields to prevent direct spray on the MCC and the conduit ends are sealed to prevent water from entering the MCCs. The conduit ends entering starter racks EE-STR-125 RCIC, EE-STR (RHR-MOV-MO67), EE-STR-125 RCIC (RCIC-MOV-M0131), and disconnect switches EE-DSC-125 RCIC and EE-SW-125 RCIC and Distribution Panels EE-PNL-AA3, EE-PNL-BB3, EE-PNL-CA, and EE-PNL-CB are provided with seals to prevent water from entering the equipment. In the event of normal operation, the wet-pipe sprinkler system will not adversely effect the other equipment operating within the Fire Zone. The drainage features and equipment pedestals mitigate the potential for flooding damage due to fire suppression, such that the standing water would not affect safety-related equipment. Since it is shown that suppression effects will not impact the NSPC, the Fire Area configuration is deemed acceptable.

A fire rating cannot be assigned to the barriers due to miscellaneous door discrepancies, ventilation ducts that do not contain fire dampers at the barriers, and unsealed bus duct penetrations.
Conclusion        Based on the expected fire hazards and the existing fire protection features associated with the Critical Switchgear Rooms, the installation of additional fire seals within the bus duct enclosure, fire dampers in the ventilation ductwork, or penetration seal material in the conduits, will not significantly improve fire protection required to ensure redundant safe shutdown capability. The existing fire barrier configurations are adequate for the fire hazards in the areas, and to prevent propagation of fire between adjacent areas.
Basis              The bases that justify this conclusion are summarized as follows:
                                " The wall separating the two Switchgear Room Fire Zones is approximately 12 inches of reinforced concrete.
                                " On the Switchgear Room side of the wall, the ducts are coated with a 1.5-hour rated fire retardant material.
                                " The outlet of the supply duct and the inlet of the exhaust duct in the Critical Switchgear Room are provided with 1.5-hour rated fire dampers.
* The exhaust ductwork in the Critical Switchgear Room has a smoke detection system interlock that is arranged to shutdown the operating supply fan.
* Plant procedures effectively reduce the possibility of a fire involving transient ignition sources and combustibles.
9 Equivalent fire severity in both Switchgear Rooms is less than 1-minute and consists of an assumed transient combustible load and small quantities of miscellaneous plastic.
e The Corridor side of wall near the ventilation openings is essentially void of any significant combustible loading with the exception of miscellaneous combustibles stored in closed metal lockers.
9 A smoke detection system has been provided in both Critical Switchgear Rooms which will result in an alarm to the constantly attended Control Room upon activation.
* Manual fire suppression means has been provided for this area in the form of fire hoses and extinguishers.

Fire damage to cables will not preclude operation of the EF-SWGR-1 G and SF-SWGR-1 G fans from the 1G AC Switchgear Room. Cable damage will affect the operation of ventilation damper AD-1408 by energizing its solenoid and keeping the damper open. The NSCA model requires that either train of Switchgear Room cooling fans be available to ensure Switchgear remains available post-fire.

The NSCA require at least one source of AC power be available. Offsite power from the Emergency Transformer is unavailable due to fire damage. Cable damage (H432 and H433) could result in loss of breaker control, or spurious actuation of normally closed EE-CB-4160F-1FA. Breaker 1FA may not open as part of the transfer process due to loss of the Startup Transformer. Cable damage to H443 in the 1 FS breaker may cause it to spuriously close, placing the 4160F Bus on the damaged bus duct from the Emergency Transformer.
The FA and FS breaker cables discussed above are different than the cables that relay actual breaker position to the DG breaker to close. Therefore, the potential for out-of-phase paralleling is not a concern based on the following: The DG will start normally as part of the electrical power transfer process. With cable damage to the 1 FA and 1FS breakers, either the 1 FA breaker may stay closed or the 1 FS breaker may close on its own. The 1FS breaker closing is a result of the normal transfer process, or cable damage, even though the Emergency Transformer cabling is damaged by fire. Either of the above situations will result in the DG output breaker not closing on its own. While this ensures the DG and offsite power will not be paralleled out-of-phase, there may be no source of AC power to the credited 4160F Bus.

Fire in the area could result in damage to the 4KV Bus 1F UV circuit, which will cause a trip signal to the CS Pump 1A, RHR Pump 1A, RHRSW Booster Pump 1A and SW Pump 1A breakers. The SW Pump 1A breaker is covered separately, VFDR RBK-04, due to the time requirements to ensure the DG remains available for powering the 4160F Bus.
The NSCA requires the ability to maintain RPV level. CS Train A is credited for Inventory Control in this area. RHR Train A is credited to support SPC mode of RHR following a fire in this area. The NSPC require a means of Decay Heat Removal post-fire be available. SPC Train A is credited for Decay Heat Removal. Inability to keep the RHR Pump 1A breaker closed would result in loss of RHR flow to the RHR Heat Exchanger resulting in loss of SPC Train A. Inability to close the RHRSW Booster Pump 1A breaker results in SW-MOV-MO89A closing and staying closed, securing SW flow to the RHR Heat Exchanger A (see VFDR RBK-05).

SW Train A is required to support various functions (SPC, HPCI and CS Quad cooling, REC, DGs, etc) for the NSPC. SPC Train A is credited for Decay Heat Removal, REC Train A provides cooling for RHR Pump 1A and the CS Quad. The complete loss of SW to the RHR Heat Exchanger could challenge the NSPC. Cable damage to both RHRSW Booster Pump breakers would result in the inability to close either breaker, causing SW-MOV-MO89A to fail closed without the ability to open from the Control Room. This would result in the loss of SW flow to the RHR Heat Exchanger for SPC Train A.
Note: EE-CB-4160F-SS1F is the feeder breaker, and while it has an overcurrent trip it is not part of the UV circuit, and therefore, this breaker will not open when power is restored to the critical MCCs on the 480F Bus (MCC-Q is one of these that will remain closed - there are several 480 Bus breakers that will trip open on the loss-of-power to the 480V bus). Therefore, once power is restored to the bus (to get the pumps running), SW-MOV-MO89A will be operable from its starter.
This is a separation issue for Decay Heat Removal.

Breakers F/FDR to the 4160V Buses from the Startup Transformer: These are normally available, required open breakers that provide motive power to the RR Pumps. The RR Pumps are required to trip to prevent a potential RR Pump Seal LOCA when REC is not available to provide cooling. This would challenge the NSPC for Inventory Control.
REC is secured in this fire area to address potential containment over-pressure. Remote operation of the breaker(s) from the Control Room is lost due to cables H251 and H254 (1C bus), and H291 and H294 (1D bus) fire-induced damage.

The NSCA require at least one source of AC power be available. Both 4160F and G UV circuits have cable damage and DC control power cables are damaged.
EE-CB-4160F-SS1F breaker cable damage (H422 and H423) may cause it to spuriously trip, causing a loss-of-power to the 480F Bus.
Cable damage (DC control power and UV Circuit) could result in the breaker (EE-CB-4160F-1 FS) not closing automatically during the normal transfer process due to loss of the Startup Transformer.
Cable damage (H551, H552, H553, H555 and UV Circuit) could result in the breaker (EE-CB-4160G-1GS) not closing automatically during the normal transfer process due to loss of the Startup Transformer.
Fire in the area could result in damage to the 4KV Bus 1 F UV circuit which will cause a trip signal to EE-CB-4160F-RHRP1B. The NSCA require the ability to remove Decay Heat post-fire. RHR Train B is credited to support the SPC mode of RHR following a fire in this area. Inability to keep RHR Pump 1 B breaker closed would result in the loss of RHR flow to the RHR Heat Exchanger, resulting in loss of SPC Train B.
Cable damage (H542, H543, DC control power, and UV circuit) could result in the breaker (EECB-4140G-SS1 G) tripping, securing power to the 480G Bus.

The NSPC require the ability to isolate the RPV to maintain water inventory above the active fuel.
Spurious operations could result in the opening of up to two ADS valves. Affected ADS valves need to be returned to their fail-safe closed position within 18 minutes for single spurious operation.
SRV's D and F are impacted as a result of fire in this area. Cables RP517 and RP518 are impacted for SPV71D, and RP519 and RP520 for SPV71F. In Fire Area RB-M, RP517 and 518 are impacted in the following scenarios: 3C-TS03, 3D-TS02, 3C zone failure and 3D zone failure. In Fire Area RB-M, RP519 and 520 are impacted in the following scenarios: 3C-TS02, 3C-TS12, and 3C zone failure. Therefore, two SRVs would only be impacted at the same time in RB-M for a full zone burnout of Fire Zone 3C.

The NSCA require a means of monitoring RPV water level. NBI-LT-91A, NBI-LT-91B, and NBI-LT- 91C are affected due to sensing lines located in the Fire Area. The NBI-LT-91A and NBI-LT-91C sensing line is located in the west side of the Reactor Building. The NBI-LT-91 B sensing line is located in the east side of the Reactor Building. A separation of approximately 80 feet exists between the redundant sensing lines.
The NSCA require a means of RPV pressure indication, and all three channels are affected in this area.
RFC-PI-90A provides the Control Room with RPV pressure indication.
Note: Fire scenarios in Fire Area RB-M consist of REC Pump motor fires, a ventilated electrical panel fire, non-ventilated electrical panel and MCC fires, and transient fires. The REC Pump motors are not oil lubricated, and there are no secondary combustibles that would be involved in the pump fire or the ventilated electrical panel fire. Therefore, the zone of influence of the fire scenarios in Fire Area RB-M is not large enough to result in damage to targets located 80 feet apart.

SW Train B is required to support various functions (SPC, HPCI and CS Quad cooling, REC, DGs, etc) for NSPC. RCIC is credited for Inventory and Pressure Control, SPC Train B is credited for Decay Heat Removal, REC Train B provides cooling for RHR Pump 1D and the RHR and CS Pump Rooms (Quads) and SW Train B provides the cooling for REC and RHR Heat Exchangers (DGs not credited). The complete loss or diversion of SW to REC could challenge these NSPCs.
Current requirements indicate for RCIC that REC flow is required within 4 hours of the start of RCIC Turbine. Based on fire location, heat up of the Quad is not expected.
NOTE: Cross-ties between REC Train A and REC Train B are opened to support RCIC Room cooling with the credited REC Train B.

SW Train B is required to support various functions (SPC, HPCI and CS Quad cooling, REC, DGs, etc) for NSPC. SPC Train B is credited for Decay Heat Removal, REC Train B provides cooling for RHR Pump 1B, and REC Train A cools the RCIC Quad. The flow diversion of RHR and/or the complete loss of SW to the RHR Heat Exchanger could challenge this NSPC.
RHR-MOV-MO20 is normally closed, and desired closed during SPC mode of operation. Based on cable failure (MR22), the valve may spuriously open, resulting in a 20-inch flow diversion through the bypass line. This diversion would result in a loss or reduction of flow during SPC Train B mode of operation.
RHR-MOV-MO27B is normally open, with RHR-MOV-MO25B normally closed during the SPC mode of operation. Based on cable failure, RHR-MOV-MO25B may spuriously open, resulting in a 20-inch flow diversion without the ability to close either RHR-MOV-MO25B or RHR-MOV-MO27B from the Control Room. This diversion would result in a loss or reduction of flow during SPC Train B mode of operation.
Cable damage to both RHRSW Booster Pump breakers results in the inability to close either breaker, causing SW-MOV-MO89B to fail closed without the ability to open from the Control Room. This would result in the loss of SW flow to the RHR Heat Exchanger for SPC Train B.

For this reason, fire brigade activities are not expected to fail components not immediately involved in the fire scenario. It has been concluded that water impingement on cables is not a concern. Per MWR 91-1264, electrical cabinets and conduit have been sealed to mitigate the effects of suppression activities. In the event of normal operation of the wet-pipe sprinkler system in Fire Zone 3D, there is a limited potential for effects from the system, as water discharge would be contained within the diked area around the RR MG Set Heat Exchangers, which has sealed penetrations. A limited amount of overspray will occur to adjacent areas next to the heat exchangers. This area has no direct flow path to the 903'-6" Elevation below, and there are no identified direct paths from Fire Zone 4D above. The drainage features and equipment pedestals mitigate the potential for flooding damage due to fire suppression, such that the standing water would not affect safety-related equipment. Since it is shown that suppression effects will not impact the NSPC, the Fire Area configuration is deemed acceptable.
Fire Area Comments In Fire Zone 3C, radiant shielding is being installed for the conduit bank located along the west wall of the Critical Switchgear Rooms to prevent damage from transient fires. See Attachment S, Table S-2, Item S-2.5.
Cable tray risers west of the elevator, in Fire Zone 3C, are being provided with radiant shielding to prevent damage from transient fires. See Attachment S, Table S-2, Item S-2.6.

RBN-01 Description        Preventing loss of containment over-pressure in support of RHR pump operation for SPC operation while not allowing flow diversion from credited REC Train A for cooling to CS Quad and RHR pump (REC-MOV-712MV and REC-MOV-714 MV-Passive).
The NSPC require a means of RPV Inventory and Pressure Control and Decay Heat Removal post-fire.
CS Train A is credited for Inventory and Pressure Control and SPC Train A is credited for Decay Heat Removal. The flow diversion through REC-MOV-712MV and REC-MOV-714MV would result in a reduction of cooling flow to the credited RHR Pump and the CS Pump Quads. The loss of containment over-pressure could result in the loss of NPSH for the credited RHR pump during the SPC mode of operation.
REC-MOV-712MV isolates the REC Non-Critical Header from the outlet of the REC Train A Heat Exchanger. REC is required to provide Quad cooling in support of Core Spray pump operation for NSCA.
CS Train A is the credited success path following a fire in this area. Current requirements indicate 1 hour is needed to establish Quad cooling. REC-MOV-712VN represents a 12-inch flow diversion from the REC Critical Header to ensure adequate Quad cooling.
REC-MOV-714MV isolates the REC Train B Heat Exchanger. REC is required to provide Quad cooling in support of CS Pump operation for NSCA. CS Train A is the credited success path following a fire in this area. Current requirements indicate 1 hour is needed to establish Quad cooling. REC-MOV-714MV represents a 6-inch flow diversion from the REC Train A Critical Header to ensure adequate Quad cooling.

SPC Train A is credited for Decay Heat Removal post-fire in support of the NSPC. RHR-MOV-MO27A is normally open with RHR-MOV-MO25A normally closed during the SPC mode of operation. Based on cable failure, RHR-MOV-MO25A may spuriously open, resulting in a 20-inch flow diversion, without the ability to close either RHR-MOV-MO25A or RHR-MOV-MO27A from the Control Room due to cable failures. This diversion would result in a loss or reduction of flow during SPC Train A mode of operation.

: 6) Fire Barrier Separation Purpose          This evaluation is written to justify several unrated and open penetrations in the Fire Area RB-T floor boundaries to the adjacent fire area, including an open equipment hatchway, an open stairwell, and fire doors having a fire resistance rating less than 3 hours. The evaluation documents that the separation between Fire Area RB-T and adjacent fire areas is adequate to demonstrate compliance NFPA 805 section 4.2.3.2.
Conclusion        The existing fire area boundary configurations and automatic and manual fire protection features provide a level of protection that are adequate to prevent damage to safe shutdown systems in adjacent fire areas. The' performance-based analysis has assessed the adequacy of the fire barrier forming the fire boundary to withstand the fire effects of the hazards in the area.
Basis            The bases that justify this conclusion are summarized as follows:
* The combustible loading classification for Fire Zone 5A is "LOW" and is mainly attributed to cable insulation, lube oil, miscellaneous plastic, fiberglass, and PVC.
9 The SLC equipment is located within a concrete curbed area which will prevent any spill of oil down to Fire Zone 4A via floor openings.
* The combustible loading classification for Fire Zone 4A is "LOW" and is mainly attributed to cable insulation, miscellaneous fiberglass, and plastic.
* Fixed ignition sources in Fire Zone 4A are limited to small electrical panels, instrument racks, and MCCs.
The MCCs are well-sealed, robustly secured panels and are not located adjacent to the open Stair S-3.
o The lack of significant combustible materials in either fire zone and the lack of intervening combustibles in the open Stair S-3 significantly reduce the chance of fire propagation between zones.
9 The combustible loading classification for Fire Zone 5B is "MEDIUM" and is mainly attributed to cable insulation, lube oil, charcoal, miscellaneous plastic, and fiberglass.
                                  " The combustible loading classification for Fire Zone 6 is "LOW" and is mainly attributed to lube oil.
                                  " All fire zones are provided with automatic detection system coverage. In the event of a fire, detection system actuation will result in rapid fire brigade response and subsequent manual extinguishment utilizing hose stations and portable extinguishers strategically located in adjacent fire zones.
* Transient combustibles are administratively controlled by CNS procedure 0.7.1, "Control of Combustibles,"
effectively reducing the possibility of a fire involving transient materials.
e Fire Zone 5B is provided with I-beams at the floor to contain the oil to the area around the MG Sets. The location of the I-beams prevents oil entering the area near the fire doors.

RBP-01 Description        Preventing the loss of Decay Heat Removal function during Suppression Pool Cooling operations due to loss of NPSH.
Both valves (PC-AOV-246AV and PC-MOV-231 MV) in the Drywell vent path could be affected by fire in this area. The spurious opening of PC-MOV-231MV resulting from cable damage to any single cable or combination of MRA13, MRA14, and MRA16 may challenge the NSPC for Decay Heat Removal. When this containment vent/purge line valve opens and stays open, it results in the loss of containment over-pressure, and therefore,.the possible loss of NPSH for the RHR pump in supporting SPC Trains A and B.
Normally open PC-V-51 0 and normally closed PC-MOV-306MV are in series and provide for equalizing around PC-MOV-231 MV. Neither valve is modeled, based on 2-inch bypass line using a conservative assumption, since both PC-MOV-306MV and PC-MOV-231 MV are located physically in close proximity, fire damage to PC-MOV-231 MV will cause PC-MOV-306MV to fail as-is, which would leave a 2-inch vent path around PC-MOV-231MV.
This is a separation issue for Decay Heat Removal.

Breakers F/FDR to the 4160V Buses from the Startup Transformer: These are normally available, required open breakers that provide motive power to the RR Pumps. The RR Pumps are required to trip to prevent a potential seal LOCA when REC is not available to provide cooling. This would challenge the NSPC for Inventory and Pressure Control. REC is secured in this fire area to address potential containment over-pressure. Remote operation of the breaker(s) from the Control Room is lost due to cables H251 (1C bus) and H291 (1D bus) fire-induced damage.

For this reason, fire brigade activities are not expected to fail components not immediately involved in the fire scenario, It has been concluded that water impingement on cables is not a concern. The standpipe system riser in this area, if inadvertently ruptured, could result in water down the pipe chase in which it is located. A minimal amount of water would spill in this area and the standpipe system is equipped with a water flow alarm. The containment H2/02 analyzer panels (PC AN H2/02) are more than 50 feet from the standpipe. Therefore, pipe rupture will not affect these panels. Since it is shown that suppression effects will not impact the NSPC, the Fire Area configuration is deemed acceptable.

: 6) Fire Barrier Separation Purpose            This evaluation is written to justify several unrated and open penetrations in the Fire Area RB-T floor boundaries to the adjacent fire area, including an open equipment hatchway, an open stairwell, and fire doors having a fire resistance rating less than 3 hours. The evaluation documents that the separation between Fire Area RB-T and adjacent fire areas is adequate to demonstrate compliance NFPA 805 section 4.2.3.2.
Conclusion        The existing fire area boundary configurations and automatic and manual fire protection features provide a level of protection that are adequate to prevent damage to safe shutdown systems in adjacent fire areas. The performance-based analysis has assessed the adequacy of the fire barrier forming the fire boundary to withstand the fire effects of the hazards in the area.
Basis            The bases that justify this conclusion are summarized as follows:
e The combustible loading classification for Fire Zone 5A is "LOW" and is mainly attributed to cable insulation, lube oil, miscellaneous plastic, fiberglass, and PVC.
e The SLC equipment is located within a concrete curbed area which will prevent any spill of oil down to Fire Zone 4A via floor openings.
* The combustible loading classification for Fire Zone 4A is "LOW" and is mainly attributed to cable insulation, miscellaneous fiberglass, and plastic.
e Fixed ignition sources in Fire Zone 4A are limited to small electrical panels, instrument racks, and MCCs.
The MCCs are well-sealed, robustly secured panels and are not located adjacent to the open Stair S-3.
9 The lack of significant combustible materials in either fire zone and the lack of intervening combustibles in the open Stair S-3 significantly reduce the chance of fire propagation between zones.
* The combustible loading classification for Fire Zone 5B is "MEDIUM" and is mainly attributed to cable insulation, lube oil, charcoal, miscellaneous plastic, and fiberglass.
                                " The combustible loading classification for Fire Zone 6 is "LOW" and is mainly attributed to lube oil.
                                " All fire zones are provided with automatic detection system coverage. In the event of a fire, detection system actuation will result in rapid fire brigade response and subsequent manual extinguishment utilizing hose stations and portable extinguishers strategically located in adjacent fire zones.
e Transient combustibles are administratively controlled by CNS procedure 0.7.1, "Control of Combustibles,"
effectively reducing the possibility of a fire involving transient materials.
e Fire Zone 5B is provided with I-beams at the floor to contain the oil to the area around the MG Sets. The location of the I-beams prevents oil entering the area near the fire doors.

RBV-01 Description        Preventing a RR Pump Seal LOCA due to inability to secure the RR Pumps from the Control Room with the REC Non-Critical Header secured (RR Pump Breakers for 4160C-1CS and 4160D-1 DS).
Breakers F/FDR to the 4160V Buses from the Startup Transformer: These are normally available, required open breakers provide motive power to the RR Pumps. The RR Pumps are required to trip to prevent a potential seal LOCA when REC is not available to provide cooling. This would challenge the NSCA for Inventory and Pressure Control. REC is secured in this fire area to address potential containment over-pressure. Remote operation of the breaker(s) from the Control Room is lost due to cables H251 and H725 (1C bus), and H291 and H726 (1D bus) fire-induced damage.
This is a separation issue for Inventory and Pressure Control, RPV Isolation.
Disposition        A fire risk evaluation was performed using the guidelines of NFPA 805 Section 4.2.4 that determined that this VFDR meets the risk acceptance criteria.

For this reason, fire brigade activities are not expected to fail components not immediately involved in the fire scenario. It has been concluded that water impingement on cables is not a concern. Per MWR 91-1264, electrical cabinets and conduit have been sealed to mitigate the effects of suppression activities. In the event of normal operation of the preaction sprinkler system in the Fire Area there is a limited potential for effects from the system. A preaction system is not pressurized with water throughout its piping system and can only discharge water through a sprinkler head that has operated by fusing the heat sensitive link or by inadvertent rupture of the pipe or head. The preaction system has a predischarge alarm by heat actuating devices (HADS) and a water flow alarm that would notify the Control Room of both occurrences. The suppression system for the SBGT Room was modified (DC-86-012) to a manual actuation system. The SBGT filter water spray systems are located in the filter housing assemblies, and the nozzles would discharge within the entire enclosure upon manual actuation. The enclosure is watertight and resultant water would be channeled into a floor drain within the room.
Since it is shown that suppression effects will not impact the NSPC, the Fire Area configuration is deemed acceptable.

EEEE Tit                        EE 09-031 - Evaluation of Critical Switchgear Rooms 1F and 1G Fire Barrier Separation Purpose            The purpose of this evaluation is to document the acceptability of the fire barrier separation that has been provided for Critical Switchgear Rooms 1F and 1G. A fire rating cannot be assigned to the barriers due to miscellaneous door discrepancies, ventilation ducts that do not contain fire dampers at the barriers, and unsealed bus duct penetrations.
Conclusion        Based on the expected fire hazards and the existing fire protection features associated with the Critical Switchgear Rooms, the installation of additional fire seals within the bus duct enclosure, fire dampers in the ventilation ductwork, or penetration seal material in the conduits, will not significantly improve fire protection required to ensure redundant safe shutdown capability. The existing fire barrier configurations are adequate for the fire hazards in the areas, and to prevent propagation of fire between adjacent areas.
Basis              The bases that justify this conclusion are summarized as follows:
                                " The wall separating the two Switchgear Room Fire Zones is approximately 12 inches of reinforced concrete.
                                " On the Switchgear Room side of the wall, the ducts are coated with a 1.5-hour rated fire retardant material.
                                " The outlet of the supply duct and the inlet of the exhaust duct in the Critical Switchgear Room are provided with 1.5-hour rated fire dampers.
* The exhaust ductwork in the Critical Switchgear Room has a smoke detection system interlock that is arranged to shutdown the operating supply fan.
* Plant procedures effectively reduce the possibility of a fire involving transient ignition sources and combustibles.
e Equivalent fire severity in both Switchgear Rooms is less than 1-minute and consists of an assumed transient combustible load and small quantities of miscellaneous plastic.
* The Corridor side of wall near the ventilation openings is essentially void of any significant combustible loading with the exception of miscellaneous combustibles stored in closed metal lockers.
9 A smoke detection system has been provided in both Critical Switchgear Rooms which will result in an alarm to the constantly attended Control Room upon activation.
e Manual fire suppression means has been provided for this area in the form of fire hoses and extinguishers.

Basis              The bases that justify this conclusion are summarized as follows:
9 Transient combustibles, hot work, and ignition sources are controlled by administrative procedures that effectively reduce the possibility of fires in these areas.
e Fire hoses and portable extinguishers are strategically located throughout the plant for use by the responding fire brigade.
                                " Ventilation systems can typically be used for smoke and heat removal.
* Due to control of transient combustibles and ignition sources, door proximity to permanent combustibles, and fire area combustible loading, the majority of these doors will not be challenged by a credible fire. This effectively reduces the risk of the identified deviations.
* The automatic sprinkler system and smoke detection provided in the Cable Expansion Room (Fire Area CB-D) are credited for the acceptability of door D202.

EEEE Title                      EE 09-036 - Evaluation of Cable Expansion Room Penetration Seals Purpose            This evaluation documents the adequacy of the non-fire rated expansion joints in the Cable Expansion Room Appendix R fire barriers. In addition, conduit penetrations exist in the floor/ceiling assembly penetrating to the Office Building Corridor below that are not sealed with grout to the depth specified in the design details.
Conclusion          Based on the fire protection features provided in the Cable Expansion Room, including automatic suppression and detection system coverage, the ability to achieve safe shutdown independent of the area, and the lack of safe shutdown equipment/cables and combustible materials in the fire zone adjacent to the Cable Expansion Room, the configurations, as provided, are considered adequate.
Basis              The bases that justify this conclusion are summarized as follows:
* The expansion joints are provided with 14 gauge metal covers. The metal covers will provide some degree of fire protection to impede the spread of fire, smoke, and hot gases to the adjacent fire zones.
* An automatic sprinkler system and smoke detectors are provided in the Cable Expansion Room. In the event of a fire in the area, detection system actuation will result in alarm in the Control Room, fire brigade response, and subsequent manual extinguishment utilizing hose stations and portable extinguishers.
9 The presence of automatic detection and suppression ensures that a fire will be limited by automatic or manual suppression, such that breaching of the barriers via the expansion joints or conduit penetrations will be limited.
e Transient combustibles, hot work, and ignition sources are controlled by administrative procedures that effectively reduce the possibility of a fire.

This evaluation documents the adequacy of the configurations that have been provided for fire doors B100, B101, B1 14A, and D301, and justifies the continued use of the configurations, as they have been determined to provide a level of protection that is adequate for the fire hazards in the areas.
Conclusion        The fire door configurations have been evaluated (i.e., fire doors B100, B101, B114A, and D301) to provide a level of protection commensurate with the fire hazards of the areas, and adequate separation has been determined to be provided. In general, minor variations to the configurations such as conduit penetrations through the door frames, slightly larger gaps between doors and frames, and doors rated for less than that required of the barrier have been evaluated as acceptable.
Basis              The bases that justify this conclusion are summarized as follows:
                                " Fire severities do not exceed the fire-rated integrity of the doors.
                                " Detection and/or suppression systems are present in certain zones discussed. Actuation of the detection systems will prompt rapid fire brigade response, and subsequent manual extinguishment using fire hoses and portable extinguishers strategically located throughout the plant.
e Due to control of transient combustibles and ignition sources, door proximity to permanent combustibles, and fire area combustible loading, the majority of these doors will not be challenged by a credible fire. This effectively reduces the risk of the identified deviations.
* Certain doors discussed are normally closed with card reader access that is monitored by Security personnel.

The section of the barrier that is being changed is the wall area adjacent to, and including, door H100. The barrier is being moved to the vestibule walls and ceiling on the north side of H100. Door H100 will no longer be considered part of the fire barrier. Door H114 on the east side of the vestibule will be evaluated to show it is adequate for the fire hazards that are present. Door H1 14 is located on the east side of the vestibule. The door is a single leaf unrated metal door. The door has been barricaded with a 1/2 in. thick carbon steel plate plug welded to the frame of the door. The west side of door H1 14 has been barricaded with concrete blocks stacked approximately 6 ft high and 3 ft deep.
Conclusion      The walls and ceiling of the vestibule can be credited as a 3-hour fire rating. Based on the fire hazard analysis, fire door H1 14 is adequate for the hazards associated with the area.
Basis          The bases that justify this conclusion are summarized as follows:
* The automatic smoke detection system that alarms in the Control Room will result in prompt fire brigade response and manual fire brigade extinguishment. Based on low combustible loading and detection in the area, the fire zone boundaries are adequate to prevent fire spread to adjacent fire areas and fire zones. Pre-fire plans are available for fire brigade use in responding to fire events in the fires zones.
* An automatic wet pipe sprinkler system has been provided in the Swing Charger Room adjacent to the west wall of Fire Zone 8C.
e Given a fire in this zone, safe shutdown can be accomplished as verified by the Appendix R Safe Shutdown Analysis Report.
e Transient combustibles, hot work, and ignition sources are controlled by administrative procedures that effectively reduce the possibility of fires in these areas.
* The construction features associated with door H1 14 and the vestibule are similar to door R1 15. Door R1 15 was evaluated under EE 09-035.
e Based on the construction of the barrier and door H1 14 with welded steel plate and the fire severity present in Fire Area VIII/Fire Zone 24 side of the barrier, the Fire Area VIII/Fire Zone 24 fire would not be expected to breach the barrier. Also, a fire starting in Fire Area VIII/Fire Zone 24 would be mitigated by the automatic suppression system so that it would not provide a significant challenge to barrier. A fire starting in Fire Area IV/Fire Zone 8D would not be expected to spread to Fire Area VIII/Fire Zone 24 due to lack of combustibles in the area, lack of combustibles inside the vestibule, and the construction features of door H1 14.
* The walls and ceiling of the vestibule can be credited as a 3-hour fire rating. Based on the fire hazard Page C-213

EEEE Title                      EE 86 Evaluation of HVAC Ducts and Fire Door Between the Control Room and Controlled Corridor Purpose            This engineering evaluation is being prepared to document the acceptability of the three ventilation duct penetrations that are not provided with fire dampers located in the Control Room south wall, which provides Appendix R fire barrier separation between the Control Room and the Controlled Corridor.
Conclusion        Based on the construction of the assembly, the lack of significant fire hazards and combustible loading and the presence of installed fire protection features including fire detection, the configuration that has been provided is adequate for the fire hazards of the areas.
Basis              The bases that justify this conclusion are summarized as follows:
e The Control Room is constantly attended. Any anticipated fire would be quickly discovered and extinguished in its incipient stage.
9 The two larger vent ducts are at an elevation approximately 12 feet above the floor, which is above the suspended ceilings in the corridor. It is, therefore, unlikely that a fire would cause direct flame exposure to the duct in the corridor.
e The corridor area is essentially void of any significant combustible loading with the exception of miscellaneous combustibles stored in closed metal lockers. There are essentially no combustibles normally located in the corridor near the duct penetrations. It is extremely unlikely that the penetrations would ever be exposed to a significant fire.
* Fire propagation from the Control Room to the corridor is considered inconsequential from a safe shutdown standpoint since the office corridor does not contain any safe shutdown cables or equipment.
* Transient combustibles, hot work, and ignition sources are controlled by administrative procedures that effectively reduce the possibility of fires in these areas.
* There are no openings, such as ventilation grills, on either side of the wall in the large ducts to allow flame propagation to enter the ductwork.
* The Battery Room exhaust duct is a Schedule 80 pipe. Fire propagation into or through this pipe is not considered a credible event, as it is of significant construction so as to prevent fire spread.

This evaluation was prepared to address the adequacy of the entire barrier separation that has been provided, and to justify the lack of fire-rated penetration seal configurations in the barrier.
Conclusion        The barrier between Zones 2E and 12C is an acceptable configuration with respect to limiting fire spread potential between adjacent areas. Safe shutdown capability is assured for both Fire Zones, as documented in the Safe Shutdown Analysis Report. Therefore, this barrier configuration is adequate for CNS Fire Protection Program purposes.
Basis              The bases that justify this conclusion are summarized as follows:
e The fire hazards and combustible loading in the vicinity of the barrier on the Heater Bay side consists primarily of potential transient combustibles. There are negligible quantities of fixed combustible materials near the barrier. The lack of significant fire hazards and combustible loading precludes the possibility of a fire developing to such an extent as to breach and propagate into the Steam Tunnel.
e There are negligible fire hazards and combustible loading in the vicinity of the barrier on the Steam Tunnel side. The lack of significant fire hazards and combustible loading precludes the possibility of a fire developing to such an extent as to breach the barrier and propagate into the Heater Bay.
                                " Access to these areas is controlled during power operations.
                                " Safe shutdown capability is assured for both Fire Zones, as documented in the Safe Shutdown Analysis Report.
* Transient combustibles, hot work, and ignition sources are controlled by administrative procedures that effectively reduce the possibility of fires in these areas.

Breakers F/FDR to the 4160V Buses from the Startup Transformer: These are normally available, required open breakers that provide motive power to the RR Pumps. The RR Pumps are required to trip to prevent a potential seal LOCA when REC is not available to provide cooling. This would challenge the NSPC for Inventory and Pressure Control. REC is secured in this fire area to address potential containment over-pressure. Remote operation of the breaker(s) from the Control Room is lost due to cables H251 and H725 (1C bus), and H291 and H726 (1D bus) fire-induced damage.

The NSCA require at least one source of AC power be available. Offsite power from the Emergency Transformer is unavailable due to fire damage. Cable damage (H432 and H433) could result in loss of breaker control or spurious actuation of normally closed EE-CB-4160F-1FA. Breaker 1FA may not open as part of the transfer process due to loss of the Startup Transformer. Cable damage to H443 in the 1 FS Breaker may cause it to spuriously close, placing the 4160F Bus on the damaged Emergency Transformer. Cable damage to DG20 could blow the "close breaker" circuit control fuses if the DG selector switch is in "Auto," not allowing the DG1 breaker to close, therefore, not placing the DGI on the bus. The DG is not rated to normally carry both the Vital and Non-Vital buses. Additionally the DG1 breaker is interlocked with the AF/FA breakers, and will not close if the breaker is not opened. Therefore, cbreakers 1FS, 1FA, DG1-EG1 need to be operated to ensure that the credited critical train of power (4160F) can be energized from the DG1. Operation of DG1 is covered in TBA-05.

Fire in the area could result in damage to the 4KV Bus 1F UV circuit, which will cause a trip signal to the CS Pump 1A, RHR Pump 1A, RHRSW Booster Pump 1A breakers. The NSCA require the ability to maintain RPV water level. CS Train A is the credited train for Inventory and Pressure Control in this area.
RHR Train A is credited to support the SPC mode of RHR following a fire in this area. The NSPC require a means of Decay Heat Removal post-fire. SPC Train A is credited for Decay Heat Removal. Inability to keep the RHR Pump 1A breaker closed would result in loss of RHR flow to the RHR Heat Exchanger, resulting in loss of SPC Train A. Inability to close the RHRSW Booster Pump 1A breaker results in SW-MOV-MO89A closing, and staying closed, isolating SW flow to the RHR Heat Exchanger. SW provides cooling to the REC, DGs, and RHR systems. REC is required to provide both Quad cooling in support of CS Pump operation, and cooling for the RHR pump and RHR Quad. Additional Quad heat-up due to fire in the TB is not credible.

For this reason, fire brigade activities are not expected to fail components not immediately involved in the fire scenario. It has been concluded that water impingement on cables is not a concern. Per MWR 91-1264, electrical cabinets and conduit have been sealed to mitigate the effects of suppression activities. In the event of normal operation, the automatic suppression systems will not adversely effect the other equipment operating within the Fire Zone. The drainage features and equipment pedestals mitigate the potential for flooding damage due to fire suppression, such that the standing water would not affect safety-related equipment. Since it is shown that suppression effects will not impact the NSPC, the Fire Area configuration is deemed acceptable.

Inventory and Pressure Control RPV isolation will be accomplished by manual isolation of main steam lines,          TBC-01 other discharge paths inboard of the MSIVs, and other system pressure boundaries. RPV over-pressure protection will be provided by SRVs. Only the self-activated spring lift mode is credited for over-pressure protection. ADS will be used to reduce RPV pressure for operation of either Core Spray Train A or Train B to maintain RPV level.
Reactivity Control              Subcritical conditions will be achieved and maintained by insertion of the control  None rods caused by de-energizing RPS. The reactor scram will be the result of an automatic RPS trip or from operator initiation of a manual trip.

TEE                            05-034 - Evaluation of the Reclassification of Door R1 04 Under the FHA Purpose            The purpose of this evaluation is to permanently reclassify door R1 04 from a 3-hour fire door to a 1-hour fire door required to separate Fire Area RB-FN/Fire Zone 2A-1 (Reactor Building 903'-6" Northeast Corner) and Fire Area TB-C/Fire Zone 2E (Steam Tunnel).
Conclusion        It is acceptable to revise the fire barrier between Fire Area RB-FN/Fire Zone 2A-1, and Fire Area TB-C/Fire Zone 2E from a 3-hour rated barrier to a 1-hour fire rated barrier.
Basis              The bases that justify this conclusion are summarized as follows:
e Ignition sources near door R104 include, but are not limited to: MCC-K, RCIC Rack, and Condensate Pumps CP-R-A1 and A2. Each of these ignition sources is spatially separated from door R104 by approximately 5 feet or more. In the case of MCC-K, as much as approximately 15 feet. A postulated fire at each of these ignition sources would propagate upward into the cable raceways. Horizontal propagation will not occur due to the scarcity and discontinuity of combustibles in the zone. Without horizontal propagation of the postulated fire, no challenge can be made to door R104.
e The combustible loading calculation, NEDC 93-161, shows that the primary contributor of combustibles in Reactor Building Elev. 903'-6" are located 20 feet above the floor in the overhead cable raceways. These cables are fire retardant and are equivalent to IEEE-383 rated cable. Fire in the cable raceways would not present a fire severity of greater than 1 hour to door R104 due to a spatial separation of 10 feet or more.
* This area is also equipped with fire and smoke detection as well as fire suppression. The smoke and fire detections systems would ensure immediate fire brigade response. The fire suppression system alone will mitigate any postulated fire at the floor level, well before the fire reaches a severity of greater than 1 hour.

~EEEE le~                      EE 97-124 - Evaluation of Steam Tunnel East Wall Fire Barrier Purpose            The purpose of this evaluation is to document the adequacy of the fire barrier separating the Steam Tunnel and the Heater Bay on the 909'-6" Elevation of the Turbine Building. This evaluation was prepared to address the adequacy of the entire barrier separation that has been provided, and to justify the lack of fire-rated penetration seal configurations in the barrier.
Conclusion        The barrier between Zones 2E and 12C is an acceptable configuration with respect to limiting fire spread potential between adjacent areas. Safe shutdown capability is assured for both Fire Zones, as documented in the Safe Shutdown Analysis Report. Therefore, this barrier configuration is adequate for CNS Fire Protection Program purposes.
Basis              The bases that justify this conclusion are summarized as follows:
* The fire hazards and combustible loading in the vicinity of the barrier on the Heater Bay side consists primarily of potential transient combustibles. There are negligible quantities of fixed combustible materials near the barrier. The lack of significant fire hazards and combustible loading precludes the possibility of a fire developing to such an extent as to breach and propagate into the Steam Tunnel.
* There are negligible fire hazards and combustible loading in the vicinity of the barrier on the Steam Tunnel side. The lack of significant fire hazards and combustible loading precludes the possibility of a fire developing to such an extent as to breach the barrier and propagate into the Heater Bay.
                                " Access to these areas is controlled during power operations.
                                " Safe shutdown capability is assured for both Fire Zones, as documented in the Safe Shutdown Analysis Report.
* Transient combustibles, hot work, and ignition sources are controlled by administrative procedures that effectively reduce the possibility of fires in these areas.

TBC-01 Description        Ability to close SRV's automatically/remotely from the Control Room could be lost due to cable fire damage (Pilot Valves SPV71E, SPV71 F, SPV71G, and SPV71 H).
The NSPC require the ability to isolate the RPV to maintain water inventory above the active fuel.
Spurious operations could result in the opening of up to four ADS valves. Affected ADS SRVs need to be returned to their fail-safe closed position within 18 minutes for single spurious operation.
This is a separation issue for Inventory and Pressure Control, RPV Isolation.
Disposition        A fire risk evaluation was performed using the guidelines of NFPA 805 Section 4.2.4 that determined that this VFDR meets the risk acceptance criteria.
Risk: Acceptable Modification: None Reouired Fire protection Systems and Features None Fire Suppression Activities Effect on Nuclear Safety Performance Criteria The plant fire brigade is trained to discharge water in a judicious manner and instructed to direct hose streams and portable extinguishers at the base of the fire to limit the amount of overspray beyond the immediate Fire Zone. For this reason, fire brigade activities are not expected to fail components not immediately involved in the fire scenario. It has been concluded that water impingement on cables is not a concern. The steam tunnel is not subject to an adverse effects to equipment by water intrusion from fire suppression systems. Since it is shown that suppression effects will not impact the NSPC, the Fire Area configuration is deemed acceptable.

FAQ 07-0040, Rev. 4, Implementing Guidance F.A Review existing Outage Management Processes.
Define Higher Risk Evolutions (HREs), if not already defined in plant outage management procedures. The HRE definition should consider the following:
* Time to boil
        "      Reactor coolant system and fuel pool inventory
* Decay heat removal capability Review Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS) Procedure 0.50.5 provides the definition for Higher Risk Evolutions (HRE) used during plant outages:
Outage activities,plant configurations,or conditions during shutdown where the plant is more susceptible to an event causing loss of a key safety function.
Procedure 0.50.5 provides the following as examples of HRE and/or elevated risk time periods:
* Transfer of RPS power supplies with SDC in service
* Performance of Procedures 6.1 DG.302 or 6.2DG.302
* Lowered inventory operation
* Plant in electrical backfeed lineup Procedure 0.50.5 uses time to boil and decay heat removal system availability in defining actions associated with HRE. Procedure 0.50.5 does not specify all conditions considered HRE, but the examples above are consistent with the FAQ 07-0040, Revision 4, guidance. A Shutdown Safety Contingency Plan is required when entering any HRE. Time to boil is a specified condition to be considered in developing a Contingency Plan.
Procedure 0.50.5 directs that risk management actions should be developed and implemented to include the fire risk of outage activities.

FAQ 07-0040, Rev. 4, Implementing Guidance F.2 Identify Components and Cables.
The identification of systems and components to be included in this Non-Power Operations (NPO) Review begins with the identification of the Plant Operational States (POS) that need to be considered.
Review CNS Procedure 0.50.5, Attachment 1, defines the following Key Safety Functions (KSFs):
* Decay Heat Removal
    "  Fuel Pool Cooling
* Inventory Control
* Containment
* Power Supplies
    "  Reactivity Control Based on FAQ 07-0040, Revision 4, the POS considered for equipment and cable selection in CNS Calculation NEDC 11-003 are:
POS 1    This POS starts when the RHR system is put into service. The RPV head is on and the RCS is closed such that an extended loss of the decay heat removal function without operator intervention could result in a RCS re-pressurization above the shutoff head for the RHR pumps.
POS 2      This POS represents the shutdown condition when: (1) the RPV head is removed and RPV water level is less than the minimum level required for movement of irradiated fuel assemblies within the RPV, as defined by Technical Specifications, or (2) a sufficient RCS vent path exists for decay heat removal.
POS 3    This POS represents the shutdown condition when the RPV water level is equal to, or greater than, the minimum level required for movement of irradiated fuel assemblies within the RPV as define by Technical Specifications. This POS occurs during Mode 5.
The evaluation of these POS resulted in the exclusion of Fuel Pool Cooling, Containment, and Reactivity Control KSF from further consideration based on the following justifications:
Fuel Pool Cooling is required in order to prevent boiling and the resulting loss of inventory, which can cause damage to the stored fuel cells when they are uncovered.
However, per USAR Section X-3.6.3, there is sufficient time to establish adequate makeup to the Spent Fuel Pool prior to the onset of bulk boiling. Plant procedures require logging the temperature starting at every four hours in the event that cooling is lost. A number of options are available for replenishing the water to prevent uncovering Page D-3

                      .....    .....              CNS NFPA 805 Transition ReDort - Attachment D the fuel, including the use of fire hoses, or cross-ties to the RHR system. Therefore, it is unnecessary to model the Fuel Pool Cooling system.
* The Containment KSF specifies the Secondary Containment as the equipment/volume of concern during NPO modes. No specific equipment has been modeled to satisfy this KSF since administrative and procedural controls are credited. The requirements for containment closure capability are contained in CNS Procedure 0.50.5, "Outage Shutdown Safety". Maintenance of decay heat removal and inventory KSF will preclude the need for establishing containment during the times when containment may be relaxed. When containment must be intact, the equipment used is covered by the CNS Technical Specifications, plant design, and procedural or administrative controls.
* The NPO analysis excludes the Reactor Protection System since the plant is already in a shutdown state with all control rods inserted (or reactivity controls are in place per the CNS Technical Specifications to ensure the reactor stays shutdown). No additional equipment is required for the reactivity KSF as the control rods are designed such that sufficient negative reactivity is inserted to ensure Keff <0.99 even with the most reactive rod stuck in the fully withdrawn position.
In CNS Calculation NEDC 11-003, the components relied upon to provide the remaining KSF including support functions were identified. The selection of equipment was further broken down and related by KSF success paths. Power supplies and other supporting components such as interlocks were identified, listed, and tied with their component and KSF success paths in the SAFE fire protection safe shutdown analysis software. For those components not already in SAFE, cable selection and routing were performed in accordance with the Nuclear Safety Capability Assessment (NSCA) methodology, CNS Calculation NEDC 11-019. The NSCA methodology identified all required cables associated with a component and this information was added to SAFE. The SAFE software was run and the resulting analysis by fire area identified "pinch points," that is, fire areas where a KSF success path was not available.

Fire modeling may be used to determine if postulated fires in a compartment are expected to damage equipment (and cabling) thereby eliminating a pinch point.
Review The NPO fire area reviews conservatively assumed that the entire contents of a fire area would be lost. These reviews identified that there are fire areas where a single fire could result in a loss of all credited paths for a given KSF (i.e., a pinch point). The review also identified that there are certain fire areas that are vulnerable to a loss of a KSF if certain system trains or components are taken out of service during a non-power operational mode and a fire were to occur (i.e. fire area where only a single path is recovered). Fire areas where a fire might cause damage to equipment required to support a KSF path are identified in CNS Calculation NEDC 11-003.
Twenty-one (21) generic fire area pinch points (i.e. a fire area which contains at least one KSF with a pinch point) were identified during the performance of the NPO reviews of the twenty-five (25) fire areas analyzed. Details of the pinch points and fire areas containing the pinch points are contained in CNS Calculation NEDC 11-003.
The assessments that were performed as part of the NPO review conservatively assumed that all NPO components or component cables in the fire area may be lost due to a fire. Using the review methodology outlined in CNS Calculation NEDC 11-003 and the recovery approaches that were developed to alleviate the identified "pinch points," which are also presented in the calculation, precluded the need to utilize fire modeling in order to achieve a KSF.

NFPA 805 Section 1.3.1 Nuclear Safety Goal The nuclear safety goal is to provide reasonable assurance that a fire during any operational mode and plant configuration will not prevent the plant from achieving and maintaining the fuel in a safe and stable condition.
FAQ 07-0040, Rev. 4. Implementing Guidance F.4 Manage risks associated with fire-induced vulnerabilities during the outage.
During those NPO evolutions where risk is relatively low:
The normal fire protection program defense-in-depth actions are credited for addressing the risk impact of those fires that would cause equipment damage but would not be expected to cause the total loss of that KSF. The following actions are considered to be adequate to address minor losses of system capability or redundancy:
    "    Control of Ignition Sources o Hot Work (cutting, welding and/or grinding) o Temporary Electrical Installations o Electric portable space heaters
* Control of Combustibles o Transient fire hazards o        Modifications o        Flammable and Combustible liquids and gases
    "    Compensatory Actions for fire protection system impairments o Openings in fire barriers o        Inoperable fire detectors or detection systems o        Inoperable fire suppression systems
* Housekeeping Ensure that the normal fire protection defense-in-depth features are applicable during NPO modes.
During those NPO evolutions that are defined as HRE:
Additional fire protection defense in depth measures will be taken during HRE by:
* Managing risk in fire areas that contain known pinch points.
    "    Managing risk in fire areas where pinch points may arise because of equipment taken out of service NUMARC 91-06 discusses the development of outage plans and schedules. A key element of that process is to ensure the KSF perform as needed during the various outage evolutions.
During outage planning, the NPO compartment assessment should be reviewed to identify areas of single-point KSF vulnerability during higher risk evolutions to develop any needed contingency plans/actions. For those areas consider combinations of the following options to reduce fire risk depending upon the significance of the potential damage.
* Prohibition or limitation of hot work in fire areas during periods of increased vulnerability
* Verification of operable detection and/or suppression in the vulnerable areas.

* Prohibition or limitation of combustible materials in fire areas during periods of increased vulnerability
* Plant configuration changes (e.g., removing power from equipment once it is placed in its desired position)
* Provision of additional fire patrols at periodic intervals or other appropriate compensatory measures (such as surveillance cameras) during increased vulnerability
* Use of recovery actions to mitigate potential losses of key safety functions.
* Identification and monitoring in-situ ignition sources for "fire precursors" (e.g.,
equipment temperatures)
* Reschedule the work to a period with lower risk or higher defense-in-depth In addition, for KSF Equipment removed from service during the HRE the impact should be evaluated based on KSF equipment status and the NPO Compartment Assessment to develop needed contingency plans/actions.
Review To preclude or mitigate the KSF failures, a number of strategies have been developed. These strategies include revisions to plant shutdown and abnormal operating procedures. These procedural revisions will make changes to plant equipment and electrical system line-ups as the plant is brought to cold shutdown conditions. Plant operational procedures will also be revised to include protective strategies, preemptive actions, and recovery actions for those instances where operator actions would be necessary to ensure that a specific KSF can be maintained.
(See Implementation Item S-3.4 of Attachment S, Table S-3). The pinch points that were identified are documented in CNS Calculation NEDC 11-003.
CNS Procedure 0.50.5, "Outage Shutdown Safety," requires the effect of outage work scope on the KSFs to be qualitatively assessed. When entering an HRE, a Shutdown Safety Contingency Plan is required. Risk management actions are recommended when any of the following occur:
* Performance of maintenance activities with potential to cause a fire.
    "  Removal of fire detection or suppression equipment from service.
    "  Removal or impairment of fire barriers.
    "  Removal of KSF equipment from service.
Risk management actions include:
    "  Compensatory measures for the temporary removal of fire barriers.
    "  Increased fire watches.
    "  Re-scheduling activities that involve increased fire likelihood in fire areas where the inservice KSF equipment would be relied upon in the event of a fire.
To address concerns associated with equipment being taken out of service during NPO modes, and the potential for a concurrent fire, CNS procedures will be reviewed and revised, as necessary, to provide instructions that will assist in mitigating the effects of a fire if one were to occur. The procedure revisions will provide guidelines for actions to be taken in specific fire areas when components or system trains are taken out of service. (See Implementation Item S-3.4 of Attachment S, Table S-3). For those fire areas where the credited KSF system or equipment may be been taken out of service by a fire in that area, the following guidelines may be included in the outage management procedure:

During NPO (Refueling Activities): Per CNS Technical Specifications, there are periods when Secondary Containment and/or the Control Room Emergency Filter System (CREFS) and SGT System are off-line. During these periods of potential radioactive release, procedures are in place to address fire risk associated with maintenance activities and to close the Reactor Building in a short period of time, which will mitigate consequences of a radioactive release.
Therefore, contaminated smoke migration from the Reactor Building is anticipated to be insignificant.
During NPO (Remaining outage activities): Per CNS Technical Specifications, the Secondary Containment may be relaxed and the CREFS and SGT System may be offline during this period.

During NPO (Refueling Activities): Per CNS Technical Specifications, there are periods when Secondary Containment and/or the Control Room Emergency Filter System (CREFS) and SGT System are off-line. During these periods of potential radioactive release, procedures are in place to address fire risk associated with maintenance activities and to close the Reactor Building in a short period of time, which will mitigate consequences of a radioactive release.

During NPO (Remaining outage activities): Per CNS Technical Specifications, the Secondary Containment may be relaxed and the CREFS and SGT System may be offline during this period. As such, procedures are in place to monitor transient combustibles entering the Reactor Building. A credible worst case fire was postulated in NEDC 11-148.
