Salem Generating Station February 2013 FLEX Integrated Plan Page 2 of 56 Revision 0 Section 1 - General Integrated Plan Elements (PWR) Determine Applicable Extreme External Hazard
Ref: NEI 12-06 section 4.0 -9.0 JLD-ISG-2012-01 section 1.0 Input the hazards applicable to the site; seismic, external flood, high winds, snow, ice, cold, high temps.
Describe how NEI 12-06 sections 5 - 9 were applied and the basis for why the plant screened out for certain hazards.
The applicable extreme external hazards for Salem Generating Station (SGS) Unit 1 and 2 are seismic, flooding, severe storms with high winds, snow, ice and extreme cold, and high temperatures. NEI 12-06 Section 5: Assess Seismic Impact Consistent with NEI 12-06 (Reference 2), Section 5.2, all sites will address seismic hazards. Seismic hazards are applicable to SGS. The current design basis safe shutdown earthquake (SSE) is 0.2g horizontal and 0.133g vertical. The associated spectra are included in SGS Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR, Reference 1) Figures 2.5-12 and 2.5-13. FLEX equipment required to mitigate a seismic event at SGS will be stored at its point of deployment in a seismically robust structure (e.g., auxiliary building, etc.) or will be stored in the cancelled Hope Creek Generating Station (HCGS) Unit 2 reactor building. An evaluation is in progress to verify that construction of the HCGS Unit 2 structures has been sufficiently completed, and will meet Reference 2, Section 5.3.1 criteria for protection of FLEX equipment against seismic hazards. Large portable FLEX equipment (other then the pre-positioned equipment) will be secured for a seismic event and located so that it is not damaged by other items in a seismic event. As discussed in the SGS UFSAR Section 2.5.1.2, the Vincentown formation soils are not considered to be liquefiable. All critical buildings around the SGS site are surrounded by highly compacted backfill. Deployment pathways of FLEX equipment from the proposed storage location will consider the potential for debris due to failure of non-seismically designed structures. Debris removal equipment onsite will be capable of clearing pathways for deployment. NEI 12-06 Section 6: Assess External Flooding Impact External flooding is applicable to SGS. The current licensing basis, described in the SGS UFSAR Subsection 2.4.2, states the probable maximum hurricane event is the only applicable external flooding event for SGS. Flood re-evaluations pursuant to the 10 CFR 50.54(f) letter of March 12, 2012 are currently being developed based primarily on the analysis being prepared for the PSEG Site Early Site Permit Application. Upon completion of the analyses, PSEG will use the results to inform the flooding hazards applicable to SGS and associated FLEX protection and deployment strategies. Any changes required to SGS FLEX strategies as a result of the flooding hazard re-evaluation will be communicated in a future six-month update. A hurricane event is assumed to have greater than 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> of warning time and flooding is expected to persist on the site for approximately 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. The warning time is sufficient to pre-stage FLEX equipment as described in the FLEX strategies presented later in the Integrated Plan. FLEX equipment required to mitigate a flooding event at SGS will be stored at its point of deployment in a flood protected structure (e.g., auxiliary building, etc.) or will be stored in the flood protected HCGS Unit 2 reactor building FLEX staging area. FLEX equipment not pre-staged prior to the event will be located in the HCGS Unit 2 reactor building and will begin deployment at approximately 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. Debris removal equipment will also be staged in the HCGS Unit 2 reactor building prior to the hurricane to support deployment of FLEX equipment in Phases 2 and 3.
Salem Generating Station February 2013 FLEX Integrated Plan Page 3 of 56 Revision 0 NEI 12-06 Section 7: Assess Impact of Severe Storms with High Winds Figures 7-1 and 7-2 from NEI 12-06 were used for this assessment. It was determined that SGS could experience hurricane winds of approximately 160 mph based on Figure 7-1. It was also determined that SGS is in Region 2 and could experience tornado force winds of approximately 166 mph based on Figure 7-2. Therefore, the high wind hazard is applicable to SGS. FLEX equipment required to mitigate a beyond design basis external event (BDBEE) at SGS will be stored at its point of deployment in a seismically robust structure (e.g., auxiliary building, etc.) or will be stored in the HCGS Unit 2 reactor building. High winds may delay deployment of FLEX equipment. Consequently, the FLEX strategy includes consideration of deployment of equipment prior to the high wind event, since typically, for a high wind event (such as a hurricane); significant warning time would be available. It is noted that for tornados there may not be significant warning time available. Since tornados are typically short term events, deployment of equipment during a tornado would not be anticipated. Debris removal equipment will be available to support deployment of FLEX equipment. NEI 12-06 Section 8: Assess Impact of Snow, Ice and Extreme Cold Based on NEI 12-06, Section 8.2, SGS must address impact of snow, ice and extreme cold on protection and deployment of FLEX equipment. Severe weather conditions, such as snow or ice may delay deployment of FLEX equipment. Consequently, the FLEX strategy will include consideration of deployment of equipment (pre-stage equipment) prior to the severe weather event, as necessary, since typically for these severe weather events, significant warning time would be available. The SGS plan for storage locations includes either storage at the point of deployment or use of the existing HCGS Unit 2 reactor building. Equipment will be protected consistent with NEI 12-06 Section 8.3. These locations will provide adequate heating to prevent equipment from freezing, and will provide protection against snow and ice loads. Also, snow, ice, and extreme cold are predictable events, and equipment can be pre-staged in the event that weather with potential impacts is predicted. Snow removal is a normal activity at the plant site because of the climate. Reasonable access to FLEX equipment will be maintained throughout a snow event. Ice management will be performed as required such that large FLEX equipment can be moved by vehicles. Debris removal equipment will be able to move through moderate snow accumulations and can also be used to move FLEX equipment. NEI 12-06 Section 9: Assess Impact of High Temperatures Consistent with NEI 12-06, Section 9.2, all sites will address high temperatures. The SGS plan for storage locations includes storage at the point of deployment and use of the HCGS Unit 2 reactor building. These locations will have adequate ventilation to maintain reasonable storage temperatures. Backup ventilation cooling is not required when power is lost because the equipment is expected to be deployed shortly after the initiation of the Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP). High temperature does not impact the deployment of FLEX equipment. All FLEX equipment will be procured to be suitable for use in peak temperature for the region. References

Ref: NEI 12-06 section 3.2.1 Provide key assumptions associated with implementation of FLEX Strategies: Flood and seismic re-evaluations pursuant to the 10 CFR 50.54(f) letter of March 12, 2012 are not completed and therefore not assumed in this submittal. As the re-evaluations are completed, appropriate issues will be entered into the corrective action system and addressed on a schedule commensurate with other licensing bases changes. Exceptions for the site security plan or other (license/site
specific) requirements of 10CFR may be required. Deployment resources are assumed to begin arriving at hour 6 and fully staffed by 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. Certain Technical Specifications cannot be complied with during FLEX implementation.
Flood and seismic re-evaluations pursuant to the 10 CFR 50.54(f) letter of March 12, 2012 are not completed and therefore not assumed in this submittal. As the re-evaluations are completed, appropriate issues will be entered into the corrective action system and addressed. The following conditions exist: Direct Current (DC) power supplies are available. Alternating Current (AC) and DC distribution is available. Plant initial response is the same as Station Blackout (SBO). The ELAP condition will be identified and entry into the FLEX Support Guidelines (FSGs) will be at approximately 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> into the event. WCAP-17601, RCS Response to the ELAP Event, and PA-PSC-0965, PWROG Core Cooling Position Paper, are used for decay heat, and will establish operator times and actions. No additional events or failures are assumed and the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater (TDAFW) pump remains functional. The designed hardened connections will be protected against external events or are established at multiple and diverse locations. FLEX components will be designed to be capable of performing in response to screened in hazards in accordance with NEI 12-06. Portable FLEX components will be procured commercially. Margin will be added to the design of the FLEX components and hard connection points to address future requirements as re-evaluation warrants. This margin will be determined during the detailed design or evaluation process. Phase 2 FLEX components stored at the site will be protected against hazards in accordance with NEI 12-06. Deployment strategies and deployment routes will be assessed for hazards impact. For a hurricane event the site will have at least 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> notice and therefore the site will be fully staffed prior to the arrival of the event in accordance with OP-AA-108-111-1001, Severe Weather and Natural Disaster Guidelines (Reference 2). Additional staff resources are expected to arrive beginning at 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />. Between 6 to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> there is limited site access. After 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> there is near normal site access per Section 2.2 sub item 4 of NEI 12-01. Maximum environmental room temperatures for habitability or equipment availability are based on NUMARC 87-00 (Reference 1) guidance if other design basis information or industry guidance is not available.
Salem Generating Station February 2013 FLEX Integrated Plan Page 5 of 56 Revision 0 The discussion presented in this Integrated Plan is generally discussed from the viewpoint of Salem Unit 1. Salem Units 1 and 2 are sufficiently similar with respect to the discussions provided in this plan to not detail both units. The result of the BDBEE may place the plant in a condition where it cannot comply with certain Technical Specifications and/or with its Security Plan, and, as such, may warrant invocation of 10 CFR 50.54(x) and/or 10 CFR 73.55(p).
Mode Specific Impacts on FLEX Strategies:
Mode 1 through 4 - Mode 1, Power Operation, FLEX strategies and equipment design assumptions bound Modes 2 through 4 impacts due to lower levels of decay heat.
Mode 5 - Cold Shutdown - The Phase 1 core cooling strategies using the TDAFW Pump and SG PORVs will either not be possible due to secondary system unavailability, or will only be used once plant heat up has occurred and secondary side steam is available. Portable equipment for Phase 2 FLEX strategies will be capable of performing required functions while in Mode 5. Gravity feed and spill from the RWST through an RCS vent path may be available for decay heat removal as a Phase 1 strategy. Prioritization of primary system vs. secondary system injection strategies with Phase 2 portable equipment will be considered based on RCS/Secondary configuration.
Mode 6 - Refueling - The Phase 1 core cooling strategy does not rely on installed equipment other than the reactor vessel and associated refueling cavity water inventory. Due to the lower decay heat level in the reactor and larger volume of water in the refueling cavity, r esponse times for portable Phase 2 equipment for core cooling are expected to be bounded by Mode 1 requirements. Spent fuel pool (SFP) cooling assumptions for decay heat assume a freshly offloaded core and are sufficient to ensure adequate fuel pool makeup with portable equipment in Mode 6.

Technical Basis Support information, see attached NSSS Significant Reference Analysis Deviation Table (Attachment 1B)
Discussion of Time Constraints Identified in Attachment 1A The sequence of events timeline is provided in Attachment 1A. The timeline presents the best estimate elapsed time for primary coping strategy for each key safety function. Validation of assumed response times will be required once all associated analyses are completed and FSGs have been developed.
Action Item (AI) 5, 9 - WCAP-17601 concludes Steam Generator (SG) dryout can occur within 55 minutes of loss of auxiliary feedwater (AFW) flow. Should the initiating event damage the auxiliary feedwater storage tank (AFST), another source of water must be aligned to the TDAFW pump as discussed in Section 2.2. It is estimated that suction from the demineralized water storage tank (DWST) header (fed from either the tank or submersible FLEX pump in the turbine building) can be established within 40 minutes. If the initiating event is a hurricane flood, the 240 VAC FLEX Diesel Generators (DGs) would have been pre-staged on the auxiliary building roof and could be started to support operation of the submersible FLEX pump in the turbine building.

AI 17 - Begin RCS injection with the 13 charging pump.
AI 19 - If the initiating event is a hurricane flood, see AI 21. The diesel driven FLEX service water (SW) pump will be deployed from the storage location in HCGS Unit 2 reactor building to the river and connected to the service water system as described in Section 2.2. It is estimated this activity can be completed within 11 hours1.273148e-4 days <br />0.00306 hours <br />1.818783e-5 weeks <br />4.1855e-6 months <br /> of the declaration of an ELAP. This activity supports establishing an indefinite supply of water for the TDAFW pump.
AI 21 - In the event of a hurricane, the diesel driven FLEX SW pump will be deployed from the storage location in HCGS Unit 2 reactor building to the river and connected to the service water system as described in Section 2.2 at approximately 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. The submersible FLEX pump (AI 5) in the turbine building has been supplying water to the TDAFW pump. This activity supports
establishing an indefinite supply of water for the TDAFW pump.
AI 22 - Assuming the highest heat load (full core offload), the water level in the SFP would have boiled down to approximately 10 feet above top of fuel. Sufficient time will exist to establish the refill lineup (described in Section 6.2 and 2.2) from the FLEX AFW pump or diesel driven FLEX SW pump to maintain SFP inventory.
AI 23 - Phase 3 coping activities to maintain containment and establish indefinite coping capability rely on the use of a 4.16 kV DG, diesel driven pumps and water treatment equipment (amongst other commodities and equipment) provided by the regional response center (RRC). PSEG intends to notify the RRC of the ELAP at 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> after the event, which would deliver equipment to within 25 miles of the site at approximately 26 hours3.009259e-4 days <br />0.00722 hours <br />4.298942e-5 weeks <br />9.893e-6 months <br />. Sufficient time exists, with continued operation of Phase 2 strategies, to deploy the equipment to the site and establish functionality.
Technical Basis Support information
- 1. On behalf of the PWR Owners Group (PWROG), Westinghouse developed documents, WCAP-17601-P, Revision 0, and PA-PSC-0965, Revision 0, to supplement the guidance in NEI 12-06 by providing additional PWR-specific information regarding the individual plant response to the ELAP and loss of ultimate heat sink (LUHS) events. The document includes identification of the generic event scenario and expected plant response, the associated analytical bases and recommended actions for performance of a site-specific gap analysis. As part of this document, a generic PWR Westinghouse 4 loop NSSS evaluation was performed. The PWR Westinghouse 4 loop analysis is applicable to the SGS coping strategy in that it supplements the NEI 12-06 guidance by providing PWR specific information re garding plant response for secondary cooling and RCS inventory control. The guidance provided in NEI 12-06 was utilized as appropriate to develop coping strategies and for prediction of the plant's response.
- 2. Per the guidance in 10 CFR 50.63 and Regulatory Guide 1.155, SGS is a 4 hr coping plant for SBO considerations.

Page 10 of 56 Revision 0 Section 2 - Maintain Core Cooling and Heat Removal 2.1 - PWR Installed Equipment Phase 1 Determine Baseline coping capability with installed coping 1 modifications not including FLEX modifications, utilizing methods described in Table 3-2 of NEI 12-06: AFW/EFW Depressurize RCS for injection with portable injection source Sustained water source PWR Installed Equipment Phase 1: Provide a general description of the coping strategies using installed equipment including modifications that are proposed to maintain core cooling. Identify methods (AFW/EFW) and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.
Following the occurrence of an ELAP/LUHS event, the reactor will trip and the plant will initially stabilize at no-load RCS temperature and pressure conditions, with reactor decay heat removal via steam release to the atmosphere through the SG safety valves and/or pow er-operated relief valves (SG PORVs). Natural circulation of the RCS will develop to provide core cooling and the steam TDAFW pump will provide flow from the AFST (or other available source) to the SGs to make-up for steam release.
Operators will respond to the event in accordance with emergency operating procedures (EOPs) to confirm reactor coolant system, secondary system, and containment conditions. A transition to 1-EOP-LOPA-1, "Loss of All AC Power" will be made upon the diagnosis of the total loss of AC power. This procedure directs isolation of reactor coolant system letdown pathways, confirmation of natural circulation cooling, verification of containment isolation, reducing DC loads on the station batteries, and establishment of electrical equipment alignment in preparation for eventual power restoration. The operators confirm auxiliary feedwater flow to the steam generators, establish manual control of the SG PORVs, and initiate a rapid cooldown of the RCS to minimize inventory loss through the RCP seals. 1-EOP-LOPA-1 directs local manual control of auxiliary feedwater flow to the steam generators and local manual control of the SG PORVs to control steam release to control the cooldown rate, as necessary.
Core Cooling and Heat Removal Phase 1 Strategy The Phase 1 strategy for reactor core cooling and heat removal relies upon installed plant equipment and water sources for AFW supply to the steam generators and steam release to the atmosphere.
The TDAFW pump automatically starts on the loss of offsite power condition, and does not require AC electrical power to provide AFW to the SGs. The AFW system is pre-aligned for flow to the SGs, and the air operated flow control valves fail open to align flow to all four SGs.
Steam release from the SGs can be controlled by local manual operation of the SG PORVs. The SG PORVs will be modified to add an alternate nitrogen bottle air supply to the valve operator to support continued operation from the control room. RCS cooldown will be initiated as described in WCAP-17601 to a SG pressure of approximately 300 psia. The RCS cooldown minimizes adverse effects of high temperature coolant on RCP shaft seal performance and reduces SG pressure to allow feedwater injection from a portable pump in the event of TDAFW pump failure. The minimum SG pressure is
1 Coping modifications consist of modifications installed to increase initial coping time, i.e. generators to preserve vital instruments or increase operating time on battery powered equipment.
Page 11 of 56 Revision 0 Section 2 - Maintain Core Cooling and Heat Removal 2.1 - PWR Installed Equipment Phase 1 established to prevent safety injection accumulator nitrogen gas from entering the RCS.
The primary AFW water supply is provided by the installed AFST. The tank has a minimum usable capacity of 200,000 gallons and will provide a suction source to the TDAFW pump for a minimum of 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> based on the AFW consumption requirements delineated in WCAP-17601. The AFST is not protected from the effects of hurricane wave activity or wind driven missiles. During a hurricane event, should the AFST become unavailable, the AFW water supply would be transitioned to pre-staged Phase 2 equipment discussed in Section 2.2. In the event of a missile strike to the AFST, the existing piping configuration allows TDAFW pump suction to be aligned to the 500,000 gallon DWST or the 350,000 gallon fire protection/fresh water storage tanks. The DWST and fire protection/fresh water storage tanks are not protected from external events, but are widely spaced from the AFST. It is reasonable to expect the DWST or fire protection/fresh water storage tanks will escape tornado and missile damage due to physical separation.
Vital AC and DC bus load shedding will be implemented to preserve battery life and selected vital instrument AC busses remain energized during the Phase 1 strategy response to provide power to necessary instrumentation in order to provide the key reactor parameter information indicated below.
The load shedding of vital AC and DC loads is described in Section 6.1.
The key equipment relied upon to provide reactor core cooling and heat removal for the Phase 1 strategy are protected against the applicable external hazards as described below: The TDAFW Pump is located in the auxiliary building, a seismical ly qualified and flood protected structure. The AFST is a seismically qualified tank, however it is susceptible to damage from wind borne missiles and wave action during a hurricane event. As discussed above, alternate water supply tanks are reasonably expected to survive the BDBEE in the event of a single AFST failure.

Page 15 of 56 Revision 0 Section 2 - Maintain Core Cooling and Heat Removal 2.2 - PWR Portable Equipment Phase 2 Provide a general description of the coping strate gies using on-site portable equipment including modifications that are proposed to maintain core cooling. Identify methods and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.
As described in Section 2.1, Phase 1 coping following an ELAP/LUHS is accomplished using the installed TDAFW pump to feed the SGs, SG PORVs for SG steam release to control RCS temperature and effect a RCS cooldown, and the AFST (or depending on the event, another available source of water) to provide the AFW water source to the TDAFW pump. The Phase 1 coping strategy will provide reactor core cooling and decay heat removal for a minimum of 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and is sufficient to stabilize the plant at approximately 300 psia SG pressure, which will result in RCS cold leg temperature of approximately 425F with pressure greater than SI accumulator nitrogen injection pressure.
Core Cooling and Heat Removal Phase 2 Strategy The Phase 2 strategy for reactor core cooling and heat removal provides an indefinite supply of water for feeding SGs and a motor driven backup AFW pump for use in the event that the TDAFW pump is unavailable. The TDAFW pump is expected to operate for an extended duration before SG steam pressure is reduced to the point where sufficient steam flow cannot be provided to the turbine inlet to support pump operation. The strategy includes repowering the vital 230/460 VAC busses to maintain key parameters monitoring instrumentation and restore equipment. Phase 2 electrical bus repowering strategies are described in Section 6.2.
Water Supply An indefinite supply of water to the suction of the TDAFW pump or the pre-staged FLEX AFW pump, can be provided from the Delaware River. The Delaware River will remain available for any of the external hazards listed in Section 1. Refer to Attachment 3, Sketch 1M-6 for a diagram of the flowpath and equipment utilized to facilitate this water supply. The diesel engine driven FLEX SW pump will be transported from the HCGS Unit 2 reactor building to a location west of the auxiliary building. A hard suction hose will be routed from the pump su ction to the river where wa ter will be drawn through a strainer(s) sized to allow the required flowrate while limiting debris to prevent damage to the AFW pump. A discharge hose will be routed from the diesel engine driven FLEX SW pump discharge to two new, diversely located, connections on the SW nuclear headers.
Water from the river can be pumped through the SW system to provide a direct suction source to the TDAFW pump or FLEX AFW pump. Water from the river can also be pumped to the Spent Fuel Pool as described in Section 5.2. The diesel engine driven FLEX SW pump is preliminarily sized to provide a minimum of 700 gpm to AFW, 80 gpm for RCS inventory makeup and 200 gpm for Spent Fuel Pool make-up simultaneously to both units. As indicated in the sequence of events discussed in Section 1 and Attachment 1A, the back-up supply of SG injection water will be made available prior to the depletion of Phase 1 water supply to the suction of the TDAFW pump, which would occur no sooner than 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> after the ELAP/LUHS initiation. Hydraulic analysis of the flowpath from the river through the SW system and to the various users (TDAFW pump, SFP, etc.) will be performed to confirm that applicable performance requirements are met.
Page 16 of 56 Revision 0 Section 2 - Maintain Core Cooling and Heat Removal 2.2 - PWR Portable Equipment Phase 2 The above water supply strategy can be implemented following all applicable BDBEEs except the hurricane induced flooding event. Due to the dura tion the site would be inundated from the flooding (approximately 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />), an alternate strategy is used for this condition. During a flood on-site, the available water storage tanks could fail and the water supply to the TDAFW pump would become unavailable prior to deploying the diesel driven FLEX SW pump at the Delaware River. During a flooding event, the turbine building will flood and fill with a sufficient volume of water to supply the AFW pumps until the flood waters recede and the diesel driven FLEX SW pump can be deployed at the Delaware River.
Two redundant submersible pumps with strainer(s) will be pre-staged in the lowest elevation of the turbine building with the discharge piping routed to the demineralized water line that currently feeds the TDAFW pumps. This pipe is routed below grade in the turbine building and is not susceptible to hurricane wind induced missiles. The pumps could take suction from either the strainer or the condenser hotwells as shown on Attachment 3, Sketch CM-1. The appropriate valve lineup can be established by an operator from a location above the maximum flood elevation. The submersible pumps are preliminarily sized at 350 gpm to supply either the TDAFW pump or the FLEX AFW pump. Electrical power supply for the submersible pumps is discussed in Section 6.2.
As discussed above, an indefinite water supply strategy for supply to the AFW system can be employed following the applicable BDBEEs. PSEG will also implement other plant modifications shown on Attachment 3, Sketches 1M-6, CM-1 and CM-8 to provide a supply of higher quality water to the AFW system, if available. After declaration of an ELAP/LUHS, operators will assess the condition of available water supply sources across the site and use the highest quality water available for injection to the SGs through the TDAFW pump or the FLEX AFW pump.
Water Injection The pre-staged, motor-driven FLEX AFW pump will provide a back-up SG injection method in the event that the TDAFW pump can no longer perform its function due to low turbine inlet steam flow from the SGs. The minimum required SG injection flowrate after one hour is 300 gpm at 300 psig to support reactor core cooling and decay heat removal. The FLEX AFW pump will be pre-staged in the auxiliary building near the system connection established for discharge to the SG (described below). Hose will be routed from the pump suction to the AFW suction line (Attachment 3, Sketch 1M-6). The FLEX AFW pump discharge is connected with hose to a permanent connection point downstream of the TDAFW pump discharge check valve and to the SFP as discussed in Section 5.2. Electrical power supply for the FLEX AFW pump is discussed in Section 6.2.
Connections The hose connections to the SW headers will be diversely located to assure the applicable hazard would not cause damage to both. The pre-staged submersible pump and associated piping and valves will be located below plant grade within the turbine building and would not be susceptible to hurricane wind induced missiles. The remaining connections will be located in the hardened seismic class 1 auxiliary building.
Page 17 of 56 Revision 0 Section 2 - Maintain Core Cooling and Heat Removal 2.2 - PWR Portable Equipment Phase 2 PSEG is continuing to assess the capability of on-site tanks to withstand the effects of BDBEEs, and the core cooling and heat removal requirements should the reactor be taken offline prior to the onset of the hurricane event. If changes are required to the Phase 2 strategy as a result of these assessments, they will be provided in a six-month status report.

The Phase 3 coping strategy relies on one large generator per unit providing enough electrical power to the required safeguards equipment. Core cooling will be continued via the diesel driven FLEX SW pump (augmented by additional capacity from the RRC) that will be providing water from the UHS through the SW nuclear header for as long as required. The TDAFW pump or the FLEX AFW pump will provide SG make-up as long as required. When RRC water treatment equipment arrives on site, demineralized water for the SG makeup can be established.

With an ELAP/LUHS the plant staff will implement a strategy for maintaining RCS inventory during plant stabilization and subsequent RCS cooldown and associated depressurization activities.

Page 23 of 56 Revision 0 Section 3 - RCS Inventory Control 3.2 - PWR Portable Equipment Phase 2 Provide a general description of the coping strate gies using on-site portable equipment including modifications that are proposed to maintain core cooling. Identify methods(Low Leak RCP Seals and/or borated high pressure RCS makeup)and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.
In order to ensure RCS inventory and reactivity controls are maintained, borated water will be added to the RCS. For reactivity control, the maximum borated water volume of 11,500 gallons at a boron concentration of 2300 ppm will be injected from the RWST starting at approximately 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> after an event to ensure Keff is maintained at less than 0.99 for a RCS temperature of approximately 425 deg F
. As RCS pressure and RCP seal leakage decrease, borated water requirements will decrease.
The primary strategy is to use the installed charging pumps re-powered from the 460 VAC vital bus from the FLEX generator to supply borated water using the existing installed flow paths. Alternatively, a pre-staged, electric powered, FLEX charging pump will be available to supply the borated water to the RCS. The FLEX charging pump will be capable of providing a flow rate of 40 gpm.
Borated water is available from the refueling water storage tank (RWST) using installed piping. The RWST is seismically qualified, but located outside and vulnerable to externally generated missiles and wave action during the hurricane event. Should a loss of inventory occur in either unit's RWST, the discharge of the opposite unit's charging pump can be aligned to provide injection to both unit's RCS using installed piping.
In addition, sufficient quantities of borated water are available in the Boric Acid Storage Tanks, located in the missile and flood protected auxiliary building. If required, the boric acid transfer pumps or a small FLEX boric acid transfer pump can be used to transfer this inventory to the suction of the charging pump or FLEX charging pump using installed piping.
In the event of a hurricane and for long term borated water preparation, a temporary trailer mounted mixing tank with a positive displacement pump and heater will be moved to the flood protected truck bay in the auxiliary building. A portable hose will be used to supply water from the temporary mixing tank's pump to the suction of the charging pump or FLEX charging pump.

Identify methods (containment spray/hydrogen igniters) and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.
The Phase 3 coping strategy relies on one large generator per unit providing enough electrical power to the required safeguards equipment. The generator will be used to re-power containment cooling through the use of the installed Containment Fan Coil Units and Delaware River water supplied through the service water system as described in Section 2.2, Phase 2 Maintain Core Cooling and Heat Removal. In addition to the Phase 2 FLEX pumps, supplemental pumping capability will be supplied from the RRC to support this function.
PSEG will perform further containment analysis to demonstrate that containment integrity can be maintained up until a point in time when containment cooling can be restored during Phase 3.

6.1 - PWR Installed Equipment Phase 1 Provide a general description of the coping stra tegies using installed equipment including station modifications that are proposed to maintain and/or support safety functions. Identify methods and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve coping times. Maintaining power to necessary instrumentation and equipment is needed to successfully implement the planned FLEX strategy. SGS relies on station batteries to power instrumentation necessary to implement the initial activities of the Phase 1 coping strategy.
DC Power The following coping strategy is implemented to increase usable battery life to provide power to the vital 125 VDC and 28 VDC busses for instrumentation and other vital loads during Phase 1. Non-essential loads will be removed from the busses in order to extend their availability. These load shedding actions will be completed during the first 30 minutes of the event in accordance with S1.OP-AB.LOOP-0001 and will extend the battery life to a minimum 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> of operation for either unit.
Battery life will be extended through a deep load shedding on each battery. With this deep load shedding strategy, it is expected that the station batteries can be extended through Phase 1 and do not require portable supplemental charging before 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> for the most limiting battery. Additional formal analysis will be performed to determine if additional load shedding strategies can extend this duration. If analysis results require a change in strategy, that change will be communicated in a six-month status report. Prior to depletion of the usable battery power, a Phase 2 strategy to use portable DGs to provide power to the "A" 460 VAC vital bus and the battery chargers for the "A", "B" and "C" 125 VDC and "A" 28 VDC vital buses per unit will be implemented.

Page 37 of 56 Revision 0 Section 6 - Safety Functions Support (Electrical) 6.2 - PWR Portable Equipment Phase 2 Provide a general description of the coping strategies using on-site portable equipment including station modifications that are proposed to maintain and/or support safety functions. Identify methods and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve coping times. Maintaining power to necessary instrumentation and equipment, and providing means to repower equipment is needed to successfully implement the planned FLEX strategy. SGS relies on station batteries to power instrumentation and equipment necessary to implement the initial activities of the Phase 1 coping strategy. Prior to depletion of the usable battery power, portable DGs will be deployed to provide power to vital 230/460 VAC busses.
Deployment of the 240 VAC FLEX DG is sufficient to power needed instrumentation and motor operated valves. The 480 VAC FLEX DG will power the 480 VAC FLEX switchgear located in the auxiliary building truck bay and loads distributed from that location. The 240 VAC FLEX DG also allows for recharging of the batteries in addition to other AC loads.
240 VAC Diesel Generator The portable 240 VAC DGs will be deployed from the HCGS Unit 2 reactor building FLEX storage location to a location north of the service building. Power extension cables will be directly routed from the DG to the 230 VAC SBO battery charger receptacles (four per unit, eight total) located at elevation 84 ft. of the auxiliary building. Alternatively, the four existing SBO cables can be utilized to run power from the portable DGs from a connection on the service building wall through the SBO cables to the SBO receptacles. An electrical one-line diagram is provided in Attachment 3, Sketch E-1.
In the event of a hurricane, the DGs and cabling will be pre-staged on the auxiliary building roof prior to the event. Power extension cables will be run through stairwells from the roof location to the SBO battery charger receptacles in the auxiliary building. An additional cable will be routed through stairwells to the submersible FLEX pumps (see Section 2.2) in the turbine building.
When the DGs are connected to the SBO battery charger receptacles, and appropriate breaker alignment completed, the portable generators may be started to power vital instrumentation and 230 VAC motor operated valves.
480 VAC Switchgear and Diesel Generator The strategy for providing 480 VAC power to FLEX equipment and the "A" 460 VAC vital bus includes the use of portable 480 VAC FLEX DGs and a permanently installed 480 VAC FLEX switch gear panel in the auxiliary building truck bay.
The portable 480 VAC FLEX DGs and necessary connecting power cables will be transported from the HCGS Unit 2 reactor building storage location to their deployed positions near the auxiliary building truck bay. The 480 VAC FLEX switchgear panel will be mounted on the west end of the truck bay in the seismic class I auxiliary building. Receptacles will be provided at the ground level truck bay location and on the roof of the auxiliary building to connect the power cables from the DGs. In the event of a hurricane, the DGs will be pre-staged prior to the event on the auxiliary building roof near the receptacle feeding the 480 VAC FLEX switchgear. An electrical one-line diagram is provided in Attachment 3, Sketch E-1.
The 480 VAC FLEX switchgear panel will include motor starters appropriately sized for the various motor driven pumps required in the FLEX coping strategies. A breaker will be provided to supply power to the "A" Page 38 of 56 Revision 0 Section 6 - Safety Functions Support (Electrical) 6.2 - PWR Portable Equipment Phase 2 460 VAC vital bus. Each of the 480 VAC FLEX switchgear panel branches will terminate to receptacles located in the truck bay.

7.1 - PWR Installed Equipment Phase 1 Provide a general description of the coping stra tegies using installed equipment including station modifications that are proposed to maintain and/or support safety functions. Identify methods and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve coping times. MCR Environmental Conditions Shortly after the onset of an SB O, station operators will block open Main Control Room (MCR) doors in accordance with S1.OP-AB.LOOP-0001. These actions will prevent MCR temperatures from rising above 110 deg F until Phase 2 actions can be implemented. Additional formal analysis will be performed to support this assessment. If analysis results require a change in strategy, that change will be communicated in a six-month status report. TDAFW Room Environmental Conditions Procedure S1.OP-AB.LOOP-0001 directs station operators to prop open the TDAFW room doors to establish natural circulation immediately after the loss of offsite power cond ition is determined to mitigate room temperature rise. TDAFW room temperatures are not expected to exceed the equipment limitations during Phase 1. Additional formal analysis of the TDAFW room will be performed to assure that these areas remain accessible and temperatures are within the equipment functional limitations. If changes to the Phase 1 strategy are required as a result of the analysis they will be provided in a six-month status report.
Battery Rooms Environmental Conditions Battery room temperatures and hydrogen levels are not expected to exceed the equipment limitations during Phase 1. Hydrogen generation is only a concern when batteries are charging, and therefore hydrogen generation will not occur during Phase 1. Additional formal analysis of the battery rooms will be performed to assure that these areas remain accessible and temperatures are within the equipment functional limitations. If changes to the Phase 1 strategy are required as a result of the analysis they will be provided in a six-month status report.
Ventilation No forced ventilation is expected to be required during Phase 1 as described above for each area. Plant doors may be opened as necessary to provide additional ventilation.
Lighting Lighting is required for operator actions and access in the plant to implement actions associated with the SBO procedure. Emergency lighting is provided by local battery-powered emergency lighting and the availability of this lighting is at least 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />.

Identify methods and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve coping times. Portable equipment in Phase 2 is required to support continued strategies from Phase 1 and includes ventilation, lighting, air/gas supplies for operation of valves and charging pump control, communication equipment, and fuel. Each of these is discussed below relative to the Phase 2 coping time. Gas Supply for Pneumatic Valves In Phase 2, the SG PORV nitrogen bottles will be ch anged out with replacement bottles, if required. The system will be designed to allow fo r replacement of nitrogen bottles without interruption to the gas supply. Additional formal analysis of the nitrogen quantities required for Phase 1 and 2 operations will be performed to assure that on site quantities are sufficient for at least 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />. If changes are required to the Phase 2 strategy as a result of the analysis, they will be provided in a six-month status report. MCR Environmental Conditions In Phase 2, supplemental ventilation is provided for the operators in the Main Control Room using portable fans for air circulation as necessary to maintain a temperature below 110°F. Portable fans would be powered by the FLEX portable diesel generator. Circulation can be established from outdoors by propping open the doors at the either end of the service building, the doors in and out of the stairwell and the MCR room doors. Additional formal analysis will be performed to determine the timing and scope of the supplemental cooling, or heating required, and the results of this analysis will be provided in a six-month status report. TDAFW Room Environmental Conditions The strategy for maintaining the environment of the TDAFW room is the same as in Phase 1. If required, the TDAFW room is provided with supplem ental ventilation using portable fans to lower the room temperature. Portable fans will be powered by the FLEX diesel generator. Additional formal analysis will be performed to determine the timing and scope of the supplemental cooling required, and the results of this analysis will be provided in a six-month status report. Battery Rooms Environmental Conditions In Phase 2 Battery room cooling and hydrogen ventilation may be required. Portable fans, if required, are placed outside the battery room doors to circulate air through the rooms for cooling and to mitigate hydrogen buildup. Additional formal analysis will be performed to determine the timing and scope of the supplemental cooling or hydrogen ventilation required, and the results of this analysis will be provided in a six-month status report.
Ventilation Ventilation for the TDAFW Room, battery rooms, inner and outer penetrations, auxiliary building and Main Control Room will be provided as needed from portable fans that are powered from the FLEX diesel generator. Plant doors may be opened as necessary to provide additional ventilation.
Lighting Control Room emergency lighting will be available because the 125 VDC system will have power supplied to the battery chargers from the FLEX diesel generator. Portable lights will be available for use in areas that require operator access to perform Phase 2 equipment Page 46 of 56 Revision 0 Section 7 - Safety Functions Support (Other) 7.2 - PWR Portable Equipment Phase 2 connections. These lights will either be battery powered, or will be capable of being powered by the FLEX DGs. Communications See letter from PSEG to NRC dated February 21, 2013. Diesel Fuel Portable equipment used in Phase 2 will be equipped with fuel storage tanks sufficient for at least 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of operation without refueling to minimize actions required to keep equipment running.
