ME9947 and ME9948),dated April 24, 2013 (ML13100A240)On March 12, 2012, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Order EA 12-049(Reference 1) to Constellation Energy Nuclear Group, LLC (CENG) for Calvert Cliffs NuclearPower Plant, LLC (CCNPP), Units 1 and 2. Reference (1) requires submission of a statusreport at six-month intervals following submittal of the overall integrated plan. Attachment (1)provides the six-month Status Report for CCNPP. The report updates the milestoneaccomplishments since the submittal of the last status report, including any changes to thecompliance method, schedule, or need for relief and the basis, if any.In Reference (2), CCNPP committed to include the status of the implementing actions identifiedin Section 4.12 of the Communications Assessment as part of the six-month status reports U. S. Nuclear Regulatory CommissionAugust 26, 2014Page 2required by Section IV.C.2 of NRC Order EA-12-049. Attachment (1) includes an update of thestatus of these implementing actions. This will be the last status update for those actions.Future six-month status reports submitted in accordance with Section IV.C.2 of NRC OrderEA-12-049 will not include a status of the implementing actions identified in Section 4.12 of theCommunications Assessment, as these updates have negligible safety significance. Thus, thisletter deletes the regulatory commitment made in Reference (2). As documented inReference (3), the regulatory commitments to implement the CCNPP Units 1 and 2improvements related to mitigating strategies (FLEX) derived from the results of thecommunications assessment will be completed: a) prior to the startup of CCNPP Unit 1following the Spring 2016 refueling outage and b) prior to the startup of CCNPP Unit 2 followingthe Spring 2015 refueling outage.There are no regulatory commitments contained in this letter.If there are any questions regarding this letter, please contact Bruce Montgomery, ActingManager -Licensing, at 443-532-6533.I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

Subsequently, asupplement to the CCNPP Oil for FLEX was submitted to the NRC in March 2013 (Reference 3). Thisattachment provides an update of milestone accomplishments since the last status report, including anychanges to the compliance method, schedule, or need for relief/relaxation and associated basis (ifapplicable).CCNPP developed an Interim Action Implementation Schedule as part of an Assessment ofCommunications during an Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP) (Reference 4). A commitment wasmade in Reference 4 to include the status of the implementing actions identified in Section 4.12 ofCCNPP's communications assessment as part of the six-month status reports prepared pursuant to SectionIV.C.2 of NRC Order EA-12-049. The updated status of the communications assessment interim actionsis provided in Section 8. It should be noted that this is the last status report in which an update ofcommunications assessment interim actions will be provided. This change in regulatory commitment isaddressed in the cover letter submitting this status report.Since the submittal of the last two status reports in August 2013 (Reference 6) and February 2014(Reference 8), CCNPP FLEX has progressed with engineering analysis, calculations and design ofmodifications that support the mitigating strategies while making some refinements to modificationconcepts. However, no significant changes to the mitigation strategies or planned modifications insupport of the mitigation strategies have occurred. Work to formalize agreements to utilize local spacesas staging areas has progressed with some owners while remaining a challenge with others.By letter dated December 17, 2013, the NRC issued to CENG the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant,Units 1 and 2 -Interim Staff Evaluation Relating to Overall Integrated Plan in Response to OrderEA-12-049 (Mitigation Strategies) (TAC Nos. MF 1142 and MF 1143) (Reference 7). The Interim StaffEvaluation (ISE) contains open and confirmatory items for which Exelon, the CCNPP licensee, has begunto provide clarifying or additional information in the February 2014 and this six-month status reports inorder for the NRC to determine that the issues are on a path to satisfactory resolution. This informationand the item status are given in Table 3.2 Milestone AccomplishmentsThe following milestones have been completed since the development of the OIP (References 1 and 3),and are current as of July 15, 2014:" Performed exploratory fluid system walk downs in support of pending modifications for FLEXstrategies during spring 2013 Refueling Outage (RFO).

Perform an analysis to determine the possibleeffects of Beyond Design Basis External Events(BDBEEs) on the Turbine Building structure andthe potential effect on access to the TDAFWPump Room.Complete.The turbine building was originally designed to therequirements for a Seismic Class II structure, including windload and seismic load. The building is an integrated steelstructure with metal siding, supported on reinforced concretefoundations. In addition, all of the structural steel columns,beams, and roof trusses of the building have been designed asindependent members and in accordance with AmericanInstitute of Steel Construction, Inc. specifications. It wasdetermined that facilities which were built to the requirementof basic construction codes have the ability to surviveseismically-induced loadings and stresses well in excess of theoriginal allowances. Although a quantitative evaluation of theseismic capability of the turbine building has not beenperformed, it is unlikely that catastrophic failure of the turbinebuilding would occur.Class II structures are designed in accordance with designmethods of accepted codes and standards insofar as they areapplicable. Wind design (25 psf zone) is in accordance withthe UBC, with a one third increase in the allowable stresses.Seismic design is in accordance with the UBC. Seismicforces were based on Seismic Probability Zone 3 multipliedby a ratio of 0.08/0.30. A one third increase in allowablestresses was not allowed. All of the structural steel columns,beams, and roof trusses of the building have been designed asindependent members and in accordance with AISCSpecifications. The Turbine Building is constructed belowgrade from the turbine deck down to its base mat.In addition, taking the position stated in the NRC-endorsedGeneric Imolementation Procedure (GIP), it is a fact thatPage I 1 of 33 ATTACHMENT (1)CCNPP SIX-MONTH STATUS REPORT (AUGUST 2014)FOR MITIGATION STRATEGIES FOR BEYOND-DESIGN-BASIS EXTERNAL EVENTSCCNPP OIP Open ItemsStatuslarge, commercial industrial structures, such the steel-constructed Turbine Building, have behaved very well duringstrong motion earthquakes with seismic ground motion inexcess of 0.9gs. They have retained their structural andsystem integrity with the exception of localized damage due toinsufficiently anchored equipment. Facilities which were builtto the requirements of basic code construction have beenfound to have the ability to survive seismic-induced loadingsand stresses well in excess of the original allowables.A review of the Turbine Building structural design revealedthat it is a ductile structure with inherent damping and energyabsorbing capacity. The building is built to withstand 90 mphwinds, thereby resisting lateral loads in excess of UBCseismic requirements. As a result, the review of the TurbineBuilding at CCNPP and NRC-endorsed GIP statements, theturbine building has the ability to survive an SSE without thepotential for damage to its piping systems and there is a highlikelihood the structure will remain standing following aBeyond Design Basis External Event (BDBEE).66. Develop an alternate access strategy for access Complete.into the TDAFW Pump Room.Based on the determination that the Turbine Building canwithstand a BDBEE, it can be concluded that the normalaccess path to the TDAFW pump room will not be blocked.Consequently, there is no need to consider an alternate routeto reach the TDAFW pump room. Consideration to have analternate access path to the TDAFW pump room was givenprior to concluding that the Turbine Building would not sufferany damage during a BDBEE.67.

Review of theseanalyses is needed to confirm acceptability ofthe mitigating strategies.Complete.Calculation CA08023, "Minimum Allowable RCSTemperature to Support FLEX Implementation" has beencompleted. The conclusion is that the cycle-independentestablished time for which a cooldown to 325°F could beperformed without boration while maintaining reactivitymore negative than -1000 pcm is 32 hours following reactortrip. Beyond 32 hours, boration is required in order toprovide confidence that the reactor remains shut down bymore than 1000 pcm.DC load shedding: To confirm the safety-related stationbatteries will support the vital instrumentation required forthe Phase 1 FLEX mitigation strategy at Calvert Cliffs untilthe Phase 2 diesel generators are deployed, the followingcalculations are prepared corresponding to the four safety-related station batteries: CA08256 -Battery 11 Load ShedCoping Time for ELAP Event; CA08257 -Battery 12 loadShed Coping Time for ELAP Event; CA08258 -Battery 21Load Shed Coping Time for ELAP Event; CA08259 -Battery 22 Load Shed coping Time for ELAP Event.An analysis was performed to determine that there issufficient decay heat generated for TDAFW operation 36hours after shutdown.

The primary access to the UHS water source isvia openings in the CW/SW discharge structure (plantoutfall). The alternate access to the UHS water source is viathe intake structure downstream of the circulating waterscreens through existing access hatches associated with theCW screen wash pumps. The alternate UHS water sourcecan be readily accessed to meet required deploymentstrategies and is protected from debris and ice by the CWscreens. There are 12 CW pumps (6 per Unit) rated at200,000 gpm each and 6 SW pumps (3 per Unit) rated at15,500 gpm each, resulting in a normal flow through theintake and discharge structures of approximately 2,500,000gpm. Under ELAP conditions, the maximum expected flowthrough the intake structure will be less than 20,000 gpm(1% of the normal flow), and more like reverse flow throughthe CW screens, which significantly reduces the intakevelocity into the intake area and screens as well as providingsignificant margin for screen clogging due to debris or ice asdescribed in the Exelon Position Paper, "FLEX WaterSource Debris Clogging at Suction Point." Similarly, whileCalvert Cliffs has been found not to be susceptible to frazilice (Ref.

They have retained theirstructural and system integrity with the exception oflocalized damage due to insufficiently anchored equipment.Facilities which were built to the requirements of basic codeconstruction have been found to have the ability to surviveseismic-induced loadings and stresses well in excess of theoriginal allowables.A review of the Turbine Building structural design revealedthat it is a ductile structure with inherent damping andenergy absorbing capacity. The building is built towithstand 90 mph winds, thereby resisting lateral loads inexcess of UBC seismic requirements. As a result, thereview of the Turbine Building at CCNPP and NRC-endorsed GIP statements, the turbine building has the abilityto survive an SSE without the potential for damage to itspiping systems and there is a high likelihood the structurewill remain standing following a Beyond Design BasisExternal Event (BDBEE).Based on the determination that the Turbine Building canwithstand a BDBEE, it can be concluded that the normalaccess path to the TDAFW pump room will not be blocked.Consequently, there is no need to consider an alternate routeto reach the TDAFW pump room. Consideration to have analternate access path to the TDAFW pump room was givenprior to concluding that the Turbine Building would notsuffer any damage during a BDBEE.32.

Reference (1) requires submission of a statusreport at six-month intervals following submittal of the overall integrated plan. Attachment (1)provides the six-month Status Report for CCNPP. The report updates the milestoneaccomplishments since the submittal of the last status report, including any changes to thecompliance method, schedule, or need for relief and the basis, if any.In Reference (2), CCNPP committed to include the status of the implementing actions identifiedin Section 4.12 of the Communications Assessment as part of the six-month status reports U. S. Nuclear Regulatory CommissionAugust 26, 2014Page 2required by Section IV.C.2 of NRC Order EA-12-049. Attachment (1) includes an update of thestatus of these implementing actions. This will be the last status update for those actions.Future six-month status reports submitted in accordance with Section IV.C.2 of NRC OrderEA-12-049 will not include a status of the implementing actions identified in Section 4.12 of theCommunications Assessment, as these updates have negligible safety significance. Thus, thisletter deletes the regulatory commitment made in Reference (2). As documented inReference (3), the regulatory commitments to implement the CCNPP Units 1 and 2improvements related to mitigating strategies (FLEX) derived from the results of thecommunications assessment will be completed: a) prior to the startup of CCNPP Unit 1following the Spring 2016 refueling outage and b) prior to the startup of CCNPP Unit 2 followingthe Spring 2015 refueling outage.There are no regulatory commitments contained in this letter.If there are any questions regarding this letter, please contact Bruce Montgomery, ActingManager -Licensing, at 443-532-6533.I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

Subsequently, asupplement to the CCNPP Oil for FLEX was submitted to the NRC in March 2013 (Reference 3). Thisattachment provides an update of milestone accomplishments since the last status report, including anychanges to the compliance method, schedule, or need for relief/relaxation and associated basis (ifapplicable).CCNPP developed an Interim Action Implementation Schedule as part of an Assessment ofCommunications during an Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP) (Reference 4). A commitment wasmade in Reference 4 to include the status of the implementing actions identified in Section 4.12 ofCCNPP's communications assessment as part of the six-month status reports prepared pursuant to SectionIV.C.2 of NRC Order EA-12-049. The updated status of the communications assessment interim actionsis provided in Section 8. It should be noted that this is the last status report in which an update ofcommunications assessment interim actions will be provided. This change in regulatory commitment isaddressed in the cover letter submitting this status report.Since the submittal of the last two status reports in August 2013 (Reference 6) and February 2014(Reference 8), CCNPP FLEX has progressed with engineering analysis, calculations and design ofmodifications that support the mitigating strategies while making some refinements to modificationconcepts. However, no significant changes to the mitigation strategies or planned modifications insupport of the mitigation strategies have occurred. Work to formalize agreements to utilize local spacesas staging areas has progressed with some owners while remaining a challenge with others.By letter dated December 17, 2013, the NRC issued to CENG the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant,Units 1 and 2 -Interim Staff Evaluation Relating to Overall Integrated Plan in Response to OrderEA-12-049 (Mitigation Strategies) (TAC Nos. MF 1142 and MF 1143) (Reference 7). The Interim StaffEvaluation (ISE) contains open and confirmatory items for which Exelon, the CCNPP licensee, has begunto provide clarifying or additional information in the February 2014 and this six-month status reports inorder for the NRC to determine that the issues are on a path to satisfactory resolution. This informationand the item status are given in Table 3.2 Milestone AccomplishmentsThe following milestones have been completed since the development of the OIP (References 1 and 3),and are current as of July 15, 2014:" Performed exploratory fluid system walk downs in support of pending modifications for FLEXstrategies during spring 2013 Refueling Outage (RFO).

Perform an analysis to determine the possibleeffects of Beyond Design Basis External Events(BDBEEs) on the Turbine Building structure andthe potential effect on access to the TDAFWPump Room.Complete.The turbine building was originally designed to therequirements for a Seismic Class II structure, including windload and seismic load. The building is an integrated steelstructure with metal siding, supported on reinforced concretefoundations. In addition, all of the structural steel columns,beams, and roof trusses of the building have been designed asindependent members and in accordance with AmericanInstitute of Steel Construction, Inc. specifications. It wasdetermined that facilities which were built to the requirementof basic construction codes have the ability to surviveseismically-induced loadings and stresses well in excess of theoriginal allowances. Although a quantitative evaluation of theseismic capability of the turbine building has not beenperformed, it is unlikely that catastrophic failure of the turbinebuilding would occur.Class II structures are designed in accordance with designmethods of accepted codes and standards insofar as they areapplicable. Wind design (25 psf zone) is in accordance withthe UBC, with a one third increase in the allowable stresses.Seismic design is in accordance with the UBC. Seismicforces were based on Seismic Probability Zone 3 multipliedby a ratio of 0.08/0.30. A one third increase in allowablestresses was not allowed. All of the structural steel columns,beams, and roof trusses of the building have been designed asindependent members and in accordance with AISCSpecifications. The Turbine Building is constructed belowgrade from the turbine deck down to its base mat.In addition, taking the position stated in the NRC-endorsedGeneric Imolementation Procedure (GIP), it is a fact thatPage I 1 of 33 ATTACHMENT (1)CCNPP SIX-MONTH STATUS REPORT (AUGUST 2014)FOR MITIGATION STRATEGIES FOR BEYOND-DESIGN-BASIS EXTERNAL EVENTSCCNPP OIP Open ItemsStatuslarge, commercial industrial structures, such the steel-constructed Turbine Building, have behaved very well duringstrong motion earthquakes with seismic ground motion inexcess of 0.9gs. They have retained their structural andsystem integrity with the exception of localized damage due toinsufficiently anchored equipment. Facilities which were builtto the requirements of basic code construction have beenfound to have the ability to survive seismic-induced loadingsand stresses well in excess of the original allowables.A review of the Turbine Building structural design revealedthat it is a ductile structure with inherent damping and energyabsorbing capacity. The building is built to withstand 90 mphwinds, thereby resisting lateral loads in excess of UBCseismic requirements. As a result, the review of the TurbineBuilding at CCNPP and NRC-endorsed GIP statements, theturbine building has the ability to survive an SSE without thepotential for damage to its piping systems and there is a highlikelihood the structure will remain standing following aBeyond Design Basis External Event (BDBEE).66. Develop an alternate access strategy for access Complete.into the TDAFW Pump Room.Based on the determination that the Turbine Building canwithstand a BDBEE, it can be concluded that the normalaccess path to the TDAFW pump room will not be blocked.Consequently, there is no need to consider an alternate routeto reach the TDAFW pump room.

ISE Confirmatory Item 3.1.4.2.B -Deployment of FLEX equipment has not beenaddressed for conditions of snow, ice andextreme cold. The current screening omits adiscussion of deployment of FLEX equipmentfor hazards due to ice blockage or formationof frazil ice on the UHS.Complete.Calvert Cliffs Units 1 and 2 use its circulating water (CW)and saltwater (SW) systems suction and discharge structuresfor the ELAP Ultimate Heat Sink (UHS) water source for allBDBEEs. The primary access to the UHS water source isvia openings in the CW/SW discharge structure (plantoutfall). The alternate access to the UHS water source is viathe intake structure downstream of the circulating waterscreens through existing access hatches associated with theCW screen wash pumps. The alternate UHS water sourcecan be readily accessed to meet required deploymentstrategies and is protected from debris and ice by the CWscreens. There are 12 CW pumps (6 per Unit) rated at200,000 gpm each and 6 SW pumps (3 per Unit) rated at15,500 gpm each, resulting in a normal flow through theintake and discharge structures of approximately 2,500,000gpm. Under ELAP conditions, the maximum expected flowthrough the intake structure will be less than 20,000 gpm(1% of the normal flow), and more like reverse flow throughthe CW screens, which significantly reduces the intakevelocity into the intake area and screens as well as providingsignificant margin for screen clogging due to debris or ice asdescribed in the Exelon Position Paper, "FLEX WaterSource Debris Clogging at Suction Point." Similarly, whileCalvert Cliffs has been found not to be susceptible to frazilice (Ref. Station Response to INPO SOER 2007-02, "IntakeCooling Water Blockage"), this reduced intake velocity alsoprovides significant margin for screen blockage due to frazilice, if it were to occur concurrent with a BDBEE.10.

ISE Confirmatory Item 3.2.4.6.C -The Complete.licenseeý identified two open items to performan analysis to determine the possible effects The Turbine Building was originally designed to theof BDBEE on the Turbine Building structure requirements for a Seismic Class H1 structure, including windand the potential effect on access to the load and seismic load. The building is an integrated steelTDAFW Pump Room, and to develop an structure with metal siding, supported on reinforced concretealternate access strategy for access into the foundations. In addition, all of the structural steel columns,TDAFW Pump Room. beams, and roof trusses of the building have been designedas independent members and in accordance with AmericanInstitute of Steel Construction, Inc. specifications. It wasdetermined that facilities which were built to therequirement of basic construction codes have the ability tosurvive seismically-induced loadings and stresses well inexcess of the original allowances. Although a quantitativeevaluation of the seismic capability of the turbine buildinghas not been performed, it is unlikely that catastrophicfailure of the turbine building would occur.Class II structures are designed in accordance with designmethods of accepted codes and standards insofar as they areapplicable. Wind design (25 psf zone) is in accordance withthe UBC., with a one third increase in the allowable stresses.Seismic design is in accordance with the UBC. Seismicforces were based on Seismic Probability Zone 3 multipliedby a ratio of 0.08/0.30. A one third increase in allowablestresses was not allowed. All of the structural steel columns,beams, and roof trusses of the building have been designedas independent members and in accordance with AISCSpecifications. The Turbine Building is constructed belowgrade from the turbine deck down to its base mat.Page 25 of 33 ATTACHMENT (1)CCNPP SIX-MONTH STATUS REPORT (AUGUST 2014)FOR MITIGATION STRATEGIES FOR BEYOND-DESIGN-BASIS EXTERNAL EVENTSISE Confirmatory Items StatusIn addition, taking the position stated in the NRC-endorsedGeneric Implementation Procedure (GIP), it is a fact thatlarge, commercial industrial structures, such the steel-constructed Turbine Building, have behaved very wellduring strong motion earthquakes with seismic groundmotion in excess of 0.9gs. They have retained theirstructural and system integrity with the exception oflocalized damage due to insufficiently anchored equipment.Facilities which were built to the requirements of basic codeconstruction have been found to have the ability to surviveseismic-induced loadings and stresses well in excess of theoriginal allowables.A review of the Turbine Building structural design revealedthat it is a ductile structure with inherent damping andenergy absorbing capacity. The building is built towithstand 90 mph winds, thereby resisting lateral loads inexcess of UBC seismic requirements. As a result, thereview of the Turbine Building at CCNPP and NRC-endorsed GIP statements, the turbine building has the abilityto survive an SSE without the potential for damage to itspiping systems and there is a high likelihood the structurewill remain standing following a Beyond Design BasisExternal Event (BDBEE).Based on the determination that the Turbine Building canwithstand a BDBEE, it can be concluded that the normalaccess path to the TDAFW pump room will not be blocked.Consequently, there is no need to consider an alternate routeto reach the TDAFW pump room. Consideration to have analternate access path to the TDAFW pump room was givenprior to concluding that the Turbine Building would notsuffer any damage during a BDBEE.32.
