• Limerick has two independent RHRSW return lines common to both units

• Existing common return piping is 30 inch diameter carbon steel pipe with some 20 inch diameter piping connecting to each unit

• Existing piping contains weld overlay temporary repairs for minimum wall conditions (localized 10 corrosion)

• Current LCO requires shutdown after 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />

• Work required for proactive pipe replacement cannot be completed in 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />.

ExelNuclear RHRSW System Piping Scope of Repairs

• The scope of repairs is to replace the degraded portions of accessible RHRSW return piping common to both units

• "8" loop piping will be replaced during Unit 2 outages * "A" loop piping will be replaced during Unit 1 outages

• Total replacement will require 2 -3 outages per loop Each outage scope will be based on the amount of work that can be completed within the proposed 7 day LCD.

Nuclear RHRSW System Piping Repairs ./ Plant Configuration

• Normal Configuration

-Each RHRSW return loop carries the total return flow of one RHRSW loop and one ESW loop. Both ESW loops have open connections to both RHRSW return loops Planned configuration during repairs -One unit in an outage; one unit operating

-One RHRSW return loop operable -One RHRSW loop drained for repairs -Both ESW loops aligned to return through operable RHRSW return loop o Valves to the operable loop will be locked open and de-energized o Valves to the drained loop will be locked closed and de-energized ExelNuclear RHRSW AOT Extension Proposed Technical Specification Changes Plant System Impact Risk Impact Potential Compensatory Measures ExelNuclear RHRSW AOT Extension Proposed Technical Specification Changes

• RHRSW TS 3.7.1.1, Action a.3 (one RHRSW subsystem inoperable) 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> to 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />s** ** may be extended for a one-time period up to 7 days per calendar year for repairs of one RHRSW subsystem piping with opposite unit not in OPCONs 1, 2, or 3. RHR Suppression Pool Cooling TS 3.6.2.3, Action a (one SPC loop inoperable) -72 hours to 72 -** may be extended for a one-time period up to 7 days calendar year for repairs of one RHRSW subsystem piping with opposite unit not in OPCONs 1, 2, or 3.

Exel on Nuclear RHRSW AOT Extension LAR V" Plant System Impact RHRSW -One loop drained and out of service -Both units share the operable RHRSW return loop (2 RHRSW pumps and 4 ESW pumps) ESW -Both loops return to operable RHRSW loop -Expected to meet required flows for all required components o Will be demonstrated by flow balance prior to initial alignment for each loop

-Single failure criteria Loss of backup to TECW on the outage unit (non-safety function) o TECW backup loop returns to RHRSW ExelNuclear RHRSW AOT Extension ../ Plant System Impact (continued)

• RHR Decay Heat Removal Capability

-Reactor Water Cleanup and Fuel Pool Cooling will be able to handle outage unit decay heat -One operable RHR heat exchanger per unit

• Remote Shutdown System -Fire protection compensatory measures may be required Nuclear Exel on RHRSW LAR Risk Impact CDF impact measured from internal events, internal floods, and internal fires Bounding assessment performed for seismic impacts Other external events screened based on likelihood of threat or limited role of RHRSW LERF impact only measured from internal events and internal floods, but due to nature of RHRSW function, LERF acceptance guidelines not seriously challenged
