NOC-AE-13002963 ENCLOSURE STPNOC FLEX Integrated Plan
STPNOC FLEX Integrated Plan General Integrated Plan Elements (PWR)
A GENERAL OVERVIEW OF THE SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT UNITS 1 and 2 AND THE INTEGRATED PLAN In response to the events at the Fukushima Dai-ichi plants, the NRC issued Order EA- 12-049 ("the Order") which requires that US nuclear power plants provide an Implementation Plan for adding diverse and flexible mitigation strategies - or FLEX - that will increase defense-in-depth for beyond-design-basis external event ("BDBEE") scenarios to address an Extended Loss of AC power ("ELAP") and loss of normal access to the ultimate heat sink ("LUHS") occurring simultaneously at all units on a site.
NEI worked with the NRC to develop NEI Report 12-06, Revision 0, "Diverse and Flexible Coping Strategies ("FLEX") Implementation Guide" ("NEI 12-06") which was endorsed as a means of complying with NRC Order EA-12-049, (with comments) by the NRC in Interim Staff Guidance Document JLD-ISG-2012-01, Revision 0.
The South Texas Project (STP) site is located in south-central Matagorda County west of the Colorado River, 8 miles north-northwest of the town of Matagorda and about 89 miles southwest of Houston. It consists of approximately 12,220 acres of land and includes areas being used for a plant, a railroad, and a cooling reservoir. The plant is located about 12 miles south-southwest of Bay City and about 13 miles east-northeast of Palacios between FM (farm-to-market road) 1095 and the Colorado River.
The station is composed of two units, each having an identical pressurized water reactor (PWR) Nuclear Steam Supply System (NSSS) and turbine generator (TG). The units are arranged using a "slide-along" concept which results in Unit 2 being similar to Unit 1, and 600 ft away.
The 7,000-acre Main Cooling Reservoir (MCR) is fully enclosed with an embankment; baffle dikes direct the flow of water. The station is located at the north end of the MCR with condenser cooling water being discharged into the western half of the MCR and returned to the power plant intake through the eastern half of the MCR.
Reactor Coolant System: High-pressure light water serves as the coolant, neutron moderator, reflector, and solvent for the neutron absorber. The Reactor Coolant System (RCS), comprised of four parallel loops (each with a Reactor Coolant Pump [RCP] and a steam generator [SG]), is used to transfer the heat generated in the core to the SGs using RCPs to circulate the water. RCS pressure is maintained by means of a pressurizer attached to the hot leg of one of the loops.
Spent Fuel Storage - Each unit of the STP includes its own separate spent fuel storage facilities. These facilities are located in both the Containment and the FHB. The spent fuel storage facilities are designed for the underwater storage of spent fuel assemblies and control rods after their removal from the reactor vessel. Spent fuel storage space is provided to accommodate about one-third of a core in the Containment fuel pool and approximately 10 cores in the spent fuel pool (SFP) located in the FHB. Shielding for the spent fuel storage arrangement is adequate to protect plant personnel from exposure to radiation during all phases of spent fuel handling and storage.
Reactor Containment - This structure provides a virtually leaktight barrier to prevent escape of fission products to the environment in the unlikely event of a loss of coolant accident (LOCA).
The Reactor Containment is a post-tensioned concrete cylinder with a steel liner plate, hemispherical top, and flat bottom.
Page I of 73 February 2013
STPNOC FLEX Integrated Plan The overall dimensions of the Containment are:
- Inside Diameter - 150 ft
- Cylinder Height - 166 ft-3 in.
- Cylinder Wall thickness - 4 ft
- Liner thickness - 3/8 in.
- Foundation Mat thickness - 18 ft
- Mat liner thickness - 3/8 in.
Ref. UFSAR 1.2.2.3.1 The STP FLEX strategies will consist of both an on-site component using equipment stored at the plant site and an off-site component for the provision of additional materials and equipment for longer term response. By providing multiple means of power and water supply to support key safety functions, FLEX can mitigate the consequences of beyond-design-basis external events.
The underlying strategies for coping with these conditions involve a three-phase approach:
- 1) Initially cope by relying on installed plant equipment. (Phase 1)
- 2) Transition from installed plant equipment to on-site FLEX equipment. (Phase 2)
- 3) Obtain additional capability and redundancy from off-site equipment until power, water, and coolant injection systems are restored or commissioned. (Phase 3)
To the extent practical, analysis has been developed to support plant specific decision-making; however, additional analysis is forthcoming. Where there is a specific analysis or procedure or strategy that has yet to be completed or needs additional work, that item is annotated as such in this integrated plan as an open item. Much of the analysis done to support these strategies is in WCAP 17601 (Ref. 4).
STP has a unique challenge associated with one of the external hazards: the design basis flood. The maximum flood water level on a vertical face at the south end of the plant structures is El. 50.8 ft mean sea level (MSL), which is El. 22.8 ft above plant grade. This maximum elevation occurs during a quasi-steady-state condition after a breach of the MCR embankment and is based on an instantaneous removal of approximately 2,000 ft of the embankment opposite the power block structures. (Ref. UFSAR 3.4.1.1). As such, STP's strategies are quite different than most other utilities. Most plants can take credit for strategies and procedures established to meet 10CFR50.54(hh)(2) (B.5.b); however, because deployment of those strategies is on the ground, STP cannot. Equipment that is not required until phase 3 must be stored at its deployed location.
An overview of each phase from a general perspective follows so that the reader can be familiar with the overall flow of this integrated plan.
Because of the robust design of STP, the phase 1 coping lasts longer than the time it takes for offsite resources and equipment to arrive on site. Very little is credited for use in phase 2. However, because the design basis flood from the MCR breach would inundate the site for so long, equipment will be pre-deployed and strategies will be immediately implemented, regardless of how long phase 1 coping lasts.
Core Cooling Phase 1: When the Outside Design Basis External Event (ODBEE) occurs, the reactor automatically trips (all rods insert) and core cooling is provided automatically by means of the safety related turbine driven Auxiliary Feedwater pump (TDAFW). During an Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP), the only pump Page 2 of 73 February 2013
STPNOC FLEX Integrated Plan available to supply feedwater from the Auxiliary Feedwater Storage tank (AFWST) to the SG is the TDAFW pump. This pump uses steam from the SG as a motive force instead of electricity. Maintaining SG heat removal capability and thus, secondary inventory, is of paramount importance during the ELAP event. The demand for AFW is the greatest at the beginning of the event when decay heat is the largest and during the plant cooldown phase when sensible heat is being removed. This pump feeds the SG while operators cooldown and depressurize the RCS under natural circulation conditions (forced flow from the reactor coolant pumps has ceased due to the loss of AC power). This TDAFW pump will run until SG pressure drops below 100 psia. At that point, the pressure is not sufficient to run the pump without potentially damaging it. Analysis has shown that for a standard Westinghouse 4-loop plant, there is sufficient steam to run the TDAFW pump for a little over 5 days. STP's Auxiliary Feedwater Storage tank (AFWST) has a capacity of 525,000 gallons which has been calculated to be sufficient for RCS heat removal for approximately 44 hours5.092593e-4 days <br />0.0122 hours <br />7.275132e-5 weeks <br />1.6742e-5 months <br /> (ref.5). So, the limiting factor for phase 1 coping for this safety function is AFWST inventory. Means to re-fill the AFWST to extend this time will be discussed later but the result of this general discussion is that phase 1 of core cooling lasts 44 hours5.092593e-4 days <br />0.0122 hours <br />7.275132e-5 weeks <br />1.6742e-5 months <br />.
Phase 2: The TDAFW pump should operate well into phase 3 and there will be adequate water in the AFWST to continue feeding the SGs and cooling the RCS until assistance from offsite arrives at STP.
Phase 3: Phase 3 is basically an extension of phase 2 coping; however, at some point there will be a need for a pump to replace the TDAFW pump when it can no longer run. A 480 volt power generator (diesel generator (DG) or combustion turbine generator (CTG) that runs on diesel fuel) will be pre-staged on top of a building above the DB flood event. Also pre-staged will be cabling and connectors to provide power to a FLEX SG feed pump pre-staged in a safety related building. This pump will have both a primary and an alternate connection point into the AFW system. Preliminary calculations have shown the roof can support the additional weight of the FLEX generator and enclosure; however, additional calculations are necessary. This is open item #13. The generator will provide power to this pump. The generator will be enclosed in a structure designed to protect against design basis external events as required by NEI 12-06.
As mentioned above, the ability to fill the AFWST is critical to continue cooling the core. STP has numerous tanks, concrete basins, condensate hotwells and a 7000 acre cooling reservoir to draw from (assuming the event was not the breach of the main reservoir). The AFWST has 2 connection points to fill it: one on top of the tank and one on ground level. Pumps and hoses will move water from at least one of these sources (depending on what sources survive the external event) to the AFWST at a sufficient rate to makeup to the AFWST more than is being used by the TDAFW pump. STP also has a gravity feed strategy to makeup to the AFWST. These will be discussed in detail. Operators will continue to makeup to the AFWST as needed and continue making up to the SGs as needed to remove decay heat from the reactor core. STP will receive equipment from the Regional Response Center (RRC) to help ensure the ability to cope long term.
RCS Inventory Phase 1 - The main consequence, for this safety function, of a loss of all AC power for Westinghouse NSSS designs is RCP seal leakage. Specifically, when cooling to the RCP seal packages is lost, water at high temperatures could force the leakage in the number one seal to become excessive. Without AC power to the Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS), the RCS cannot tolerate this amount of mass loss for an extended time period and, at some point, inadequate core cooling will result. From the time an ODBEE occurs, WCAP 17601 shows that STP's reactor core will remain covered for at least 60 hours6.944444e-4 days <br />0.0167 hours <br />9.920635e-5 weeks <br />2.283e-5 months <br /> without any makeup to the RCS whatsoever. This is based on a 21 gallon per minute (gpm) leak from each seal package (ref WCAP 17601 section 4.2.2).
Page 3 of 73 February 2013
STPNOC FLEX Integrated Plan Phase 2 - The RCS cooldown and depressurization will complete in the early hours of phase 2 coping.
SG pressure will be maintained such that the SI Accumulators will not inject their N2 cover gas into the RCS.
Phase 3 - Phase 3 will again be an extension of phase 2 coping. Prior to reaching the 60 hour6.944444e-4 days <br />0.0167 hours <br />9.920635e-5 weeks <br />2.283e-5 months <br /> mark, RCS makeup will be required. Off site resources and equipment will have arrived at STP to assist in strategy implementation. STP again will use the 480V FLEX generator, pre-staged on the roof, to power the permanent plant CVCS Positive Displacement Pump (PDP) (preferred and primary connection point) or the FLEX RCS Fill pump (backup [N+I] and alternate connection point) for makeup to the RCS. The pump(s) will take their suction on the - 2500 ppm boron concentration Refueling Water Storage tank (RWST) and discharge into the RCS via Safety Injection or CVCS piping. The PDP can also take suction on the - 7000 ppm boron concentrated Boric Acid Storage Tanks (BATs).
Prior to the RWST water depleting, makeup to the tank will commence using the Reactor Makeup Water Storage tank (RMWST) and the Boric Acid tanks (BATS). The necessary pumps will be powered by the FLEX 480V generator.
Containment The GOTHIC Containment analysis revealed that RCB pressure remains below design pressure of 56 psig for over 90 days provided the core remains covered; therefore, there are no coping actions at this time. Open item #6 to complete analysis.
Spent Fuel Pool Cooling Phase 1 - NEI 12-06, section 3.2.1.2 assumes the plants are at 100% power for at least 100 days when this ELAP event occurs and that all systems are operating in their nonnal operating ranges. Using this assumption when this external event occurs, the pumps that normally move the Spent Fuel Pool (SFP) water through heat exchangers will secure due to the loss of power. The pool will gradually begin to heat up from the decay heat being transferred into the water from the spent fuel. STP calculated SFP heatup and boil-off based on conservative assumptions are as follows: assuming the event occurs after a 20 day refueling outage and also assuming an initial SFP water temperature of 160'F and a SFP heatup of 3.83
°F/hour, the pool will begin to boil in about 13 hours1.50463e-4 days <br />0.00361 hours <br />2.149471e-5 weeks <br />4.9465e-6 months <br />. The SFP boil-off rate is 1.844 x 104 Ibm/hour.
Boil-off analysis shows that it will take over 96 hours0.00111 days <br />0.0267 hours <br />1.587302e-4 weeks <br />3.6528e-5 months <br /> for SFP level to reach the pre-detennined level of 10 feet above the fuel assemblies. This is the level selected in NRC Order EA 12-51 as that level below which would limit SFP deck accessibility due to elevated radiation levels. SFP level would reach the top of the fuel assemblies in a total time from event initiation of approximately 144 hours0.00167 days <br />0.04 hours <br />2.380952e-4 weeks <br />5.4792e-5 months <br />. The timeline found later in this document is based on this assumption: trip from 100% power after at least 100 days of full power operation.
NEI 12-06, section 3.2.1.6 also discusses the SFP conditions and assumes the SFP heat load is the maximum design basis heat load for the site. Using this assumption when the event occurs, the pool would begin to boil in about 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> and would boil down to 10 feet above the fuel in about 25 hours2.893519e-4 days <br />0.00694 hours <br />4.133598e-5 weeks <br />9.5125e-6 months <br />.
(Ref. 27 Case 7B on page 63) The FLEX SFP Fill pump will be sized to meet or exceed the makeup required for this heat load.
Phase 2 - No phase 2 strategy is required for filling the SFP.
Page 4 of 73 February 20 13
STPNOC FLEX Integrated Plan Phase 3 - Phase 3 will again be an extension of phase 2 coping. The RRC will have provided equipment and people to assist in the SFP fill strategies. At some point, well before this 96 hour0.00111 days <br />0.0267 hours <br />1.587302e-4 weeks <br />3.6528e-5 months <br /> mark, makeup to the SFP will commence at a rate of at least 130.6 gpm to raise SFP water level. Two different pumps, N and N++/-, powered from the FLEX 480V generator on top of the roof will provide more than adequate makeup in this event. The 480V RMW pump powered from C train electrical distribution or the FLEX SFP Fill pump with hoses stretched to the SFP deck to provide makeup to the pool. The RMW pump takes suction on the RMWST while the FLEX SFP Fill pump (N+I) takes suction on the RWST.
Another pump is available for SFP spray. It is a large capacity diesel driven pump that will be stored in its deployment location or will come from the RRC. This diesel driven pump will use an available water source, of which there are many. Prior to the RWST water depleting, makeup to the tank will commence using the Reactor Makeup Water Storage tank (RMWST) and the Boric Acid tanks (BATS).
The following is a list of FLEX equipment used in the phases 2 and 3 coping for all functions PER UNIT unless otherwise stated:
- 1. 480V, 500 kW, air-cooled generator that runs on diesel fuel
- 2. 480V load center/distribution panel
- 5. 480V Chemical and Volume Control system (CVCS) Positive Displacement Charging pump (permanent plant equipment) for RCS makeup
- 7. 480V Reactor Makeup Water pump for SFP makeup (permanent plant equipment)
- 9. Diesel driven pump rated at 1000 gpm at 175 psig for SFP spray for both units
- 10. Diesel driven pump rated at 1000 gpm at 175 psig for SFP spray for both units for N+1
- 11. Portable DC power with inverters to power 480V Motor Control Center (MCC) breakers for closing SI Accumulator discharge valves (Open item #1, battery is still in design phase)
- 12. Three 120V, 6500 watt diesel generators
- 13. One 120V fuel oil transfer pump for moving diesel fuel from the ESF DG Fuel Oil tanks to the FLEX generator fuel oil tank.

- 20. An assortment of small items like light strings, radio batteries and chargers, satellite phones, batteries and chargers, small fuel cans, extension cords, etc.
- 21. Standard connections (electrical and mechanical) will be agreed upon and installed at STP.
- 24. FLUKE 705 loop calibrator
- 25. FLUKE 114 multimeter STORAGE Because of the design basis flood (breach of the 7000 acre Main Cooling Reservoir) that all FLEX equipment must be protected from, STP will store FLEX equipment in most cases inside safety related Page 5 of 73 February 2013
STPNOC FLEX Integrated Plan structures or inside a structure to be built on top of the MAB that will protect equipment much like safety related structures do. STP is still evaluating whether there will be a need for storage of other FLEX equipment outside the power block. (Open item #3.) If STP builds a storage facility to protect FLEX equipment, deployment routes will be evaluated and established for all external events. STP is evaluating storing FLEX equipment in the FHB truck bay. This would not require building a separate storage facility.
This overview was provided to help the reader review the different strategies, safety functions, phases and equipment such that the reader can better understand how STP intends to comply with this Order.
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, externalflood, high winds, snow, ice, cold, high temps.
Describe how NEI 12-06 sections 5 - 9 were applied and the basisfor why the plant screened out for certain hazards.
In response to the Order, STPEGS performed a FLEX hazards assessment for STP Units 1 and 2
("STP 1 & 2") to identify the BDB extreme external hazards which are applicable to the site from the following five classes of BDB external hazards defined in NEI 12-06, Section 2.2, using the processes in NEI 12-06, Sections 5 through 9):
- seismic events (NEI 12-06, Section 5)
- external flooding (NEI 12-06, Section 6)
" storms such as hurricanes, high winds, and tornadoes (NEI 12-06, Section 7)
- extreme snow, ice, and cold (NEI 12-06, Section 8)
" extreme heat (NEI 12-06, Section 9)
Following this assessment, each of the extreme external hazards found to be applicable was evaluated to determine the impact with regard to the following:
- Protection of FLEX equipment
" Deployment of FLEX equipment
- Procedural interfaces
" Utilization of off-site resources.
It is noted that other Tier 1 assessments, including those for seismic, flooding and staffing, are being completed in parallel with this FLEX assessment. The results of those assessments are being provided in their respective reports, and are not addressed in this Report, unless specifically stated.
DETERMINATION OF THE APPLICABLE BDB EXTREME EXTERNAL HAZARDS A key factor in assessing the impact of hazards on the plants is their location. As documented in the STPEGS Updated Final Safety Analysis Report ("UFSAR"), Section 1.2.1.1, the site is located in south-central Matagorda County, Texas, west of the Colorado River, which is about 8 miles north-northwest of the town of Matagorda, about 12 miles south-southwest of Bay City and about 89 miles Page Z' 6 of 73 February 2013
STPNOC FLEX Integrated Plan southwest of Houston, between FM (farm-to-market road) 1095 and the Colorado River.
Each unit utilizes a four-loop, pressurized water reactor (PWR) Nuclear Steam Supply System (NSSS) and supporting auxiliary systems designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation. (UFSAR, Section 1.1).
ASSESSMENT OF THE FIVE CLASSES OF BDB EXTREME EXTERNAL HAZARDS The assessment of the impact of the five classes of hazards on the plants was performed in accordance with NEI 12-06, as detailed herein. The methodology for the determining the applicability and impact of each of the five classes of hazards identified in NEI 12-06, Section 2.2 is as defined below.
Although the purpose of this assessment is to identify the applicability of BDBEE, the design basis information for the respective hazard is provided for reference.
Seismic Events:
The assessment to determine the applicability of a BDB seismic event was completed in accordance with NEI 12-06, Section 5, "Assess Seismic Impact", which, in Section 5.2, requires that "All sites will address BDB seismic considerations in the implementation of FLEX strategies...", so a BDB seismic event must be considered applicable to the STP 1 and 2 site. Information on the current seismic design basis for STP 1 and 2 is presented in Section 2.5 of the UFSAR.
Current Safe Shutdown Earthquake: The current seismic design basis for the plant is discussed in UFSAR Section 2.5.2.6 and 2.5.2.7. The maximum vibratory ground acceleration associated with an intensity VI (modified Mercalli) is about 0.07g. Therefore, 0.1 g is a conservative estimate of the Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE) acceleration at the site ground surface. (UFSAR Section 2.5.2.6.)
Current Operating Basis Earthquake (OBE): Based on the intensity/acceleration correlations shown in UFSAR Table 2.5.2-8, the maximum acceleration of an intensity V (modified Mercalli) earthquake is about 0.035g. This is a reasonable OBE. However, to comply with Appendix A of 10CFR100, the acceleration for the OBE is selected as 0.05g, one-half of the SSE (0.1Og). (UFSAR Section 2.5.2.6.)
Design Response Spectra: As stated in UFSAR, Section 3.7, the peak accelerations associated with SSE and OBE have been established based on the seismicity evaluation described in Section 2.5. The expected peak horizontal acceleration at this site is less than 0.10g. The peak horizontal accelerations of 0.1 Og and 0.05g incorporated in the design response spectra for the SSE and OBE, respectively, comply with Appendix A, "Reactor Site Criteria," to 10CFR100. The ground acceleration as represented by the spectral acceleration at 33 Hz is 0.1g for both the horizontal and the vertical directions. At 50 Hz the vertical spectral acceleration is reduced to two-thirds of the horizontal acceleration.
External flooding The assessment to determine the applicability of BDB external flooding hazards on the site was completed in accordance with NEI 12-06, Section 6, "Assess External Flooding Impact", which identifies the typical types of flooding that should be addressed, including:
- flooding from nearby rivers, lakes and reservoirs
- local intense precipitation
- high tides
- seiche
- hurricane and storm surge
" tsunami events Page 7 of 73 February 2013
STPNOC FLEX Integrated Plan UFSAR Section 2.4, "Hydrologic Engineering", provides an assessment of the types flooding applicable to the site. It indicates that "The STP generating station is located in the floodplain of the estuarial portion of the lower Colorado River Basin, about 8 miles inland from Matagorda, Texas. As a result of the location, the site is subjected to hydrometeorological events peculiar to inland sites, as well as to coastal sites."
As a consequence, BDBEE flooding of all of the types identified above could potentially occur at the site and must be considered in assessing the flooding impact, although, in assessing the design basis impact, the UFSAR, Section 2.4, states that the "Potential effects of tsunamis, seiches, ice flooding, landslides, channel diversions, and low water are not critical."
Information on characterizing the flooding events is provided in NEI 12-06, Table 6-1, "Flood Warning and Persistence Considerations". For the STP 1 & 2 site. UFSAR Section 1.2.1.3 states that "Plant grade is 28 ft. mean sea level ("MSL") and the maximum water level that occurs during any flooding phenomenon is El. 50.8 ft. MSL." Flood level varies from El. 50.8 ft to El. 40.8 ft depending on the location throughout the plant site. UFSAR Section 2.4, "Hydrologic Engineering", addresses the design basis flooding events in the following sections:
Flooding from a Main Cooling Reservoir (MCR) Breach: UFSAR, Section 2.4.4 identifies the design basis flood which produces the maximum water level from flooding, as the "Postulated instantaneous removal of a section of the north embankment of the Main Cooling Reservoir (MCR)". UFSAR Section 2.4.4.1.1.3, 'Postulated Failure of the South Texas Project Electric Generating Station Cooling Reservoir Embankment" provides an extensive discussion of this design basis hazard and Table 2.4.1, "Summary of Flood Analyses Results", Item 10, "Instantaneous removal of 2,000-ft-long (nominal) section of the north embankment of the Cooling Reservoir, assuming an initial water surface elevation of 50.5 ft." defines the "Maximum Flood Elevation at Plant as 50.8 ft. MSL.
Flooding from nearby rivers and lakes: UFSAR 2.4.3 and 2.4.4 discuss the design basis flooding which could occur from the nearby Colorado River, including the consequence of upstream dam failures and the impact of a probable maximum precipitation event on the rivers and site.
Local Intense Precipitation: UFSAR 2.4.2, 2.4.3 and 2.4.4 discuss the impact of a probable maximum precipitation (PMP) event on various flooding scenarios.
Table 2.4-1, "Summary of Flood Analyses Results" presents the results the flooding analyses and the maximum flooding level for postulated design basis flooding events and tabulates the resulting flood characteristics and flooding levels.
Storms such as hurricanes, high winds, and tornadoes:
The assessment to determine the applicability of BDB storms such as hurricanes, high winds and tornados was completed in accordance with NEI 12-06, Section 7, "Assess Impact of Severe Storms with High Winds". As discussed in NEI 12-06, Section 7.2.1, the impact of high winds from these hazards is postulated to result in potential damage when the wind speeds reach a value of 130 mph or greater.
The assessment of individual storm hazards was assessed as follows:
Hurricanes: NEI 12-06, Section 7.2.1 indicates that Figure 7.1 may be used to determine whether sites should address hurricane wind hazards. Figure 7.1, "Contours of Peak-Gust Wind Speeds at I 0-m Height in Flat Open Terrain, Annual Exceedance Probability of I 0-6"shows that, for the location of STP Units 1 & 2, the applicable hurricane wind speed should for this exceedance probability is approximately 210 mph. Thus, the impact of high winds must be considered applicable for the STP 1 & 2 site.

STPNOC FLEX Integrated Plan The current STP 1 & 2 design basis information for hurricanes is provided in UFSAR, Section 2.3.1.2.6.
High Winds:
The current meteorology for design basis wind speeds is discussed in UFSAR, Section 2.3.1.1.
The design basis wind speeds for the site are defined in UFSAR, Section 3.3.1.1, which states "The design wind velocity selected for South Texas Project Electric Generating Station (STPEGS) is 125 mph."
Tornados:
NEI 12-06, Section 7.2.1 indicates that Figure 7.2 may be used to determine whether the site design basis wind speed for tornados is greater than 130 mph, which is the value above which damage will occur and above which the impact of tornados should be considered. For the plant latitude of Figure 7.2, "Recommended Tornado Design Wind Speeds for the 10-6 / year Probability Level" shows that, for a latitude of 280 and longitude of approximately 96' longitude, the location of STP Units 1 & 2, wind speed is between 161mph and 174 mph or approximately 168 mph, so, the hazard from tornados must be considered for the STP 1 & 2 site.
The current meteorology for design basis tornados is discussed in UFSAR, Section 2.3.1.1. The design basis tornado wind speeds for the site are defined in UFSAR, Section 3.3.1.1, which states "However, it should be noted that the design tornado (see Section 3.3.2.1) parameters include winds with a tangential velocity of 290 mph and a translational velocity of 70 mph (maximum).
For design calculations, the tornado wind loading is assumed to be 360 mph, almost three times the design wind velocity.
Extreme snow, ice, and cold The assessment to determine the applicability of BDB events from extreme snow, ice and cold was completed in accordance with NEI 12-06, Section 7, "Assess Impact of Severe Storms with High Winds". The applicability of these hazards was assessed in accordance with Section 8, "Assess hnpact of Snow, Ice and Extreme Cold".
The applicability of these individual hazards was assessed in accordance is as follows:
Extreme Snow: The applicability was evaluated based on the requirements of NEI 12-06, Section 8.2.1, which indicates that sites on the Gulf Coast, including those below the 35th parallel, are unlikely to experience extreme snow. NEI 12-06, Figure 8.1, "Record 3-Day Snowfalls" shows that for the area of the STP 1 & 2 plants, although snow occurs, it does not reach extreme levels. On this basis, extreme snowfall is not considered to be an applicable hazard for STP 1 & 2 that would adversely impact equipment deployment.
UFSAR Table 2.3-4, "Site / Region Meteorological Extremes" provides information on the snowfall levels in the STP I & 2 area.
Extreme Ice: NEI 12-06, Figure 8.2, "Maximum Ice Storm Severity Maps shows that the area of STP 1 & 2 is in Ice Severity Level 3 (Yellow), "Low to medium damage to power lines and/or existence of considerable amount of ice". Section 8.2.1 states that plants with this Ice Severity Level should consider the effects of ice stonn impacts.
Page 9 of 73 February 2013
STPNOC FLEX Integrated Plan Extreme Cold: Per NEI 12-06, sites in southern California, Arizona, the Gulf Coast and Florida do not experience these conditions and only requires that "all other sites address FLEX deployment for these conditions", so "extreme cold" is not considered an applicable hazard for the STP I & 2 site.
Extreme Heat: The assessment to determine the applicability of BDB extreme heat hazard was completed in accordance with NEI 12-06, Section 9, "Assess Impact of High Temperatures, which, in Section 9.2, states that "all sites must consider the impact of high temperatures", so it is considered applicable for STP 1 & 2.
The current design basis for extreme heat is primarily based on the ability of the equipment to remain operational when subjected to extreme heat. This is discussed in the applicable sections of the UFSAR for the respective systems and equipment and, when appropriate is also addressed in plant procedures.
DETERMINATION OF THE APPLICABLE BDB EXTREME EXTERNAL HAZARDS The results of the assessment of the impact of these BDB hazards impact on the individual elements of the FLEX mitigation strategy, is discussed in each of the sections entitled "Storage/Protection of Equipment" later in this document In conclusion, an assessment was conducted of the hazard classes identified in NEI Section 2.2 and this Implementation Plan defines the applicability of those hazards which must be considered applicable to STP 1 & 2 to provide diverse and flexible mitigation strategies that will increase defense-in-depth for beyond-design-basis external events ("BDBEE") scenarios to address an Extended Loss of AC power
("ELAP") and loss of normal access to the ultimate heat sink ("LUHS") occurring simultaneously at all units on a site.

Page I11 of 73 February 2013
- 12. STP assumes that the preliminary calculations performed to provide assurance that the 480V FLEX generator(s), fuel tank, auxiliary equipment and enclosure can be installed on the MAB roof will be validated by a detailed calculation.
- 13. STP assumes that the only external event that could potentially cause damage to the SFP liner is a seismic event.
- 14. As stated in the guidance: "Each plant has unique features and for this reason, the implementation of FLEX capabilities will be site-specific". The unique features of STP Units 1 and 2 are:
- a. The design basis flood level which adds over 20 ft of water to the site immediately. This forces STP to pre-stage almost all equipment at its deployment location.
- b. Three completely independent, 100% capacity ESF diesel generators per unit, protected from all design basis external events.
- c. The Auxiliary Feedwater Storage Tank (AFWST) is a safety related, seismically qualified tank of 525,000 gallons, providing 44 hours5.092593e-4 days <br />0.0122 hours <br />7.275132e-5 weeks <br />1.6742e-5 months <br /> of feedwater inventory.

Another strategy reduces loads on selected buses even more, giving up to 47 hours5.439815e-4 days <br />0.0131 hours <br />7.771164e-5 weeks <br />1.78835e-5 months <br /> on 1 channel. (Ref. 6)

This robust design allows STP to cope for beyond 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br /> without the need for a FLEX Steam Generator (SG) feed pump or a FLEX Reactor Coolant System (RCS) feed pump.
Thus, small 120V diesel generators are the only power necessary for the first 30+ hours of this event.
- 15. A "modification" is a change to a permanent plant system, structure or component.
- 16. Permanent plant equipment that is evaluated probabilistically for wind-driven missiles in accordance with the current design and license basis is assumed to remain available.
- 17. Assumptions are consistent with those detailed in NEI 12-06, Section 3.2.1.
- 19. This plan defines strategies capable of mitigating a simultaneous loss of all alternating current (ac) power and loss of normal access to the ultimate heat sink resulting from a beyond-design-basis event by providing adequate capability to maintain or restore core cooling, containment, and SFP cooling capabilities at all units on a site. Though specific strategies are being developed, due to the inability to anticipate all possible scenarios, the strategies are also diverse and flexible to encompass a wide range of possible conditions. These pre-planned strategies developed to protect the public health and safety will be incorporated into the unit emergency operating procedures in accordance with established EOP change processes, and their impact to Page 12 of 73 February 2013
STPNOC FLEX Integrated Plan the design basis capabilities of the unit evaluated under 10 CFR 50.59. The plant Technical Specifications contain the limiting conditions for normal unit operations to ensure that design safety features are available to respond to a design basis accident and direct the required actions to be taken when the limiting conditions are not met. The result of the beyond-design-basis event 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 7 3 .55 (p).
Extent to which the guidance, JLD-ISG-2012-01 and NEI 12-06, are being followed. Identify any deviations to JLD-ISG-2012-01 and NEI 12-06.
Ref: JLD-ISG-2012-01 NEI 12-06 13.1 Include a description of any alternativesto the guidance, and provide a milestone schedule ofplanned action.
The primary objective of Order EA-12-049 and NEI guidance 12-06 is for nuclear plants to provide protective measures for an external event that is beyond design basis using portable equipment.
Because the South Texas Project has a unique design basis flood (breach of the embankment of the 7000 acre above ground reservoir) that almost instantaneously floods the site with over 20 feet of water, STP proposes a strategy to pre-stage and protect a 480V air-cooled generator (DG or CTG) on the top of a roof of the power block. This new generator would not have the same vulnerabilities that each of the ESF DGs share (e.g. common cooling, design, construction and same building) and thus would offer significant additional protection. Pre-staged, protected equipment would then be powered to provide optimal coping in the event of a BDBEE that results in an Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP) event. Although some portable equipment is used in these strategies, these pre-staged features will be used primarily to cope in all three response phases in lieu of extensive use of portable equipment.
This FLEX 480V DG/CTG will be protected from all design basis external events by, among other things, building an enclosure around it that would protect it from missiles. It will be able to power different pumps and other equipment by means of separate, independent connections.
In summary, crediting this FLEX equipment during all three phases of a BDBEE ELAP response provides an optimal recovery plan that relies very little on portable equipment deployment for the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of the event.
Regarding Spent Fuel Pool spray capability, strategies exist to spray the pool as required by NEI 12-06 for all external outside design basis events. However, for a design basis flood, spray capability will not be available for approximately 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> (Ref.7) due to the flood waters at the site receding to - 1.5 ft at this time. A design basis flood will not cause a significant leak in the pool so the extended deployment time is acceptable.
Analysis of the boil off in the spent fuel pool shows that SFP make up is required prior to 96 hours0.00111 days <br />0.0267 hours <br />1.587302e-4 weeks <br />3.6528e-5 months <br /> following an ELAP event due to radiological habitability concerns on the refuel deck. (Ref.2) This supports the 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> delay caused by the flood waters. STP will still have other SFP fill strategies that Page 13 of 73 February 2013
STPNOC FLEX Integrated Plan can be accomplished during a flood.
Provide a sequence of events and identify any time constraint required for success including the technical basis for the time constraint.
Ref: NEI 12-06 section 3.2.1.7 JLD-ISG-2012-01 section 2.1 Strategies that have a time constraint to be successful should be identified with a technical basis and a justificationprovided that the time can reasonably be met (for example, a walk through of deployment).
Describe in detail in this section the technical basisfor the time constraintidentified on the sequence of events timeline Attachment 1A See attachedsequence of events timeline (Attachment 14).
- 1. Initial DC bus stripping within 30 minutes: STP has a site specific requirement to perform an initial stripping of DC loads which is require within 30 minute of the event to extend the DC battery life out to 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />. This action is part of the current procedure.
- 2. Emergency Communicator contacting the State and County within 15 min of declared event: As part of the Emergency Response Organization (ERO) duties a Plant Operator will obtain a satellite phone to contact with State and County within 15 minutes. Satellite phones are staged across the hallway from the Control Room in an emergency locker with extra batteries and batteries chargers. (Reference OERPO 1-ZV-SHO 1, Shift Manager and OPOPO 1-ZA-000 1, Plant Operations Department Administrative Guidelines)
- 3. RO Communicate with NRC within 1 hour: As part of the Emergency Response Organization (ERO) duties a Reactor Operator will obtain a satellite phone to contact with NRC as soon as possible but always within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />. Satellite phones are staged across the hallway from the Control Room in an emergency locker with extra batteries and batteries chargers. (Reference OERP0 1-ZV-SH0 1, Shift Manager and OPOPO 1-ZA-000 1, Plant Operations Department Administrative Guidelines)
- 4. Control Room staff commences cooldown to < 550'F within 1 hour: Cooldown should commence within the hour to ensure RCS Tcolds are reduced to less than 550 'F. Cooldown is to protect the RCP seal package. WCAP-17601-P Rev. 0 Section 4.4.1.1 indicates RCP O-rings will remain intact for at least several hours at cold leg temperature of approximately 570 'F.
- 5. Perform deep DC load shedding per new FLEX Support Guidelines (FSG) within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> of event: The deep stripping allows the required instrumentation and control capabilities to be extend beyond the initial 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> capacity if completed within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />. (ref. 6) This will allow time to obtain flex equipment to restore battery charger and instrument bus.
- 6. Energize A and C train battery chargers within 12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />s: Restore battery charger prior to depleting the battery and losing the vital instrumentation. (ref 6) In the event that all manner of DC power is lost such that instrumentation is lost, procedures would direct operators to use a multimeter to get readings from QDPS until DC power could be restored.

STPNOC FLEX Integrated Plan Table (Attachment 1B)
Site specific analysis will be required to determine if additional time constraints may exist. OI# 2,7,8 Identify how strategies will be deployed in all modes.
Ref: NEI 12-06 section 13.1.6 Describe how the strategies will be deployed in all modifications.
The plans/strategies discussed in this paper primarily reflect an initial condition of operating modes 1-4; however, deployment of FLEX equipment will be possible for all modes of operation. The 480V FLEX DG will be available to be started and fueled in all modes. The FLEX pumps will be available to fill the SGs, RCS and SFP in all modes. An administrative program will ensure the strategies can be implemented in all modes by maintaining the portable FLEX equipment available to be deployed during all modes.
During Mode 5 and 6 prior to flood up, the FLEX SFP Fill pump (rated at 200 gpm) will be directed to discharge into the Safety Injection piping which is connected to the RCS. Using this pump for the RCS makeup takes away one of the 3 makeup capabilities to the SFP; however, two makeup capabilities for the SFP remain. This should be acceptable for the short duration of this plant configuration.
Additional strategies may be required and will be determined. (Open item #11.)
Mid-loop operations, if scheduled, are typically of short duration with respect to other operating conditions. While the likelihood of a BDBEE occurring during mid-loop operations is extremely remote, current procedures direct the operators to gravity feed the RCS from the RWST.
During refueling operations the water from the Refueling Water Storage Tank (RWST) is contained in the cavity above the reactor and in the refueling canal and the gate between the transfer canal and the Spent Fuel Pool (SFP) is typically open. By virtue of this additional water volume over the core, extended times to boil are expected. (Ref.8) Consequently, the strategy to provide gravity makeup flow from the RWST would not be applicable in this condition.
Very little equipment is stored away from the location it will be used because of the need to protect against the design basis flood. Additional equipment (needing to be deployed) is not needed for at least 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />. Because of this, STP is evaluating storing this equipment at the RRC. (Open item #3.)
Transportation strategies, if necessary, will be developed from the equipment storage/staging area to where the equipment is needed. An administrative program will be developed to ensure pathways remain clear or can be restored post event.
Identification of storage location and protection and creation of the administrative program are open items # 3 and # 4, respectively.

Equipment associated with these strategies will be procured as commercial equipment with design, storage, maintenance, testing, and configuration control in accordance with NEI 12-06 Rev.0 Section 11.0.
The unavailability of equipment and applicable connections that directly performs a FLEX mitigation strategy will be managed using plant equipment control guidelines developed in accordance with NEI 12-06 Rev.0 Section 11.5.

Describe Regional Response Center plan The industry will establish two (2) Regional Response Centers (RRC) to support utilities during beyond design basis events. Each RRC will hold five (5) sets of equipment, four (4) of which will be able to be fully deployed when requested, the fifth set will have equipment in a maintenance cycle. Equipment will be moved from an RRC to a local Assembly Area, established by the Strategic Alliance for Flex Emergency Response (SAFER) team and the utility. Communications will be established between the affected nuclear site and the SAFER team and required equipment moved to the site as needed.

STPNOC FLEX Integrated Plan Maintain Core Cooling and Heat Removal Determine Baseline coping capability with installed copingI modifications not including FLEX modifications, utilizing methods described in Table 3-2 of NEI 12-06:
" AFWITHEFW
" Depressurize SG for Makeup with Portable Injection Source
" Sustained Source of Water Ref: JLD-ISG-2012-01 section 2 and 3 PWR Installed Equipment Phase 1 Provide a general description of the coping strategies using installedequipment including station modifications that areproposed to maintain core cooling. Identify methods (AFW/EFW)9 and strategy (ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.
On a loss of all AC power event, design basis or outside design basis, the reactor will automatically trip and the TDAFW will automatically start and feed the D Steam Generator (SG). (Ref. 21 UFSAR page 5 of Appendix 1OA) Operators will manually align AFW flow to all four SGs per the Emergency Operating Procedures (Ref 13). Per WCAP 17601, the TDAFW will safely operate until steam pressure drops below 100 psia. (Ref 4 page 2-2) The length of time the TDAFW pump will run will be a function of decay heat but it should run for - 5 days given the assumptions in NEI 12-06. (Ref 4 section 5.1.3.1)
Operator actions will be directed by the Emergency Operating Procedures. STP takes no exception to WCAP 17601. Those assumptions, suggestions and analysis applicable to 4-loop Westinghouse PWRs will be utilized by STP. As described in reference 4, STP will initiate an operator controlled symmetric cooldown of the RCS at 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> following event initiation and RCS cooldown is terminated when SG pressure reaches 350 psig (RCS cold leg temperature of 425°F). The 350 psig SG pressure setpoint is to prevent injection of accumulator cover gas into the RCS. This particular process is currently applied via ECA-0.0 (Ref. 13) and WCAP 17601 demonstrate a bounding core uncovery time of-55 hours (60 hours6.944444e-4 days <br />0.0167 hours <br />9.920635e-5 weeks <br />2.283e-5 months <br /> for STP) and also the ability to maintain the reactor in a subcritical state. Maintaining secondary cooling is critical to the success of the PWR ELAP coping strategy as it becomes the ultimate heat sink.
The primary method for supplying feedwater to the SGs during an ELAP is via the installed steam driven portion of the AFW system. This installed pump is sized to provide sufficient SG feedwater flow to remove decay heat post-reactor trip. The pump is also sized to remove energy stored in the RCS metal, water mass, and fuel while maintaining adequate SG inventory necessary to cooldown/depressurize the primary system to conditions that allow placing the Residual Heat Removal (RHR) system in service. Assuming the RHR system will not be available during an ELAP event due to the significant support system requirements, the SGs must remain available to remove decay heat for an indefinite period of time. In addition, during an ELAP event the installed steam driven portion of the AFW system is the single source for maintaining SG inventory. Therefore, an Alternate Low Pressure Feedwater Source FLEX Support Guideline (FSG) that implements another SG feed capability is being developed to maintain an adequate secondary heat sink.
Calculations have demonstrated that this ELAP event will not cause the TDAFW pump room to heatup beyond the TDAFW pump Environmental Qualification temperature limit of 170'F. Ref 16.

STPNOC FLEX Integrated Plan The safety related Auxiliary Feed Water Storage Tank (AFWST) has sufficient capacity to provide water to the SGs for about 44 hrs (Ref.5) before needing to be refilled. No station modifications are proposed for phase 1 coping time; however, numerous procedure changes will be required. Vital instrumentation will be available to the operators during this event to ensure they feed and steam SGs properly. An extensive proceduralized load shedding process will be implemented to extend battery life to ensure these critical parameters can be monitored from the control rooms. This will be discussed in more detail in the "support" section of this integrated plan.

Although the robust design of STP allows ample time for offsite resources to arrive prior to engaging in the core cooling strategy, STP personnel will start the 480V FLEX DG and power components as readily as possible in phase 2.
Thus, the components and strategies will be discussed here because STP will move to engage in them quickly to provide protection sooner than required. These are really phase 3 strategies, but will be implemented as soon as possible.

A 480V diesel generator (DG) will be staged and protected on the roof of the Mechanical Auxiliary Building (MAB). This DG will power a pre-staged SG feed pump located at the bottom level of the Isolation Valve Cubicle (IVC) to feed the SGs. It will take suction on the AFWST and be capable of discharging into all four SGs.

Phase 3 of this strategy will be a continuation of phase 2.
Depending on decay heat, the TDAFW pump will run, feeding the four SGs, for a period of time until decay heat no longer supports the pump running (i.e. running the pump could cause RCS cooldown below a pre-determined value). Prior to that point the FLEX 480V diesel generator will be started to provide power to the FLEX SG feed pump and other FLEX equipment. This will provide a means to fill the SGs as necessary. If it becomes necessary to manually operate the TDAFW pump, procedural direction is given in EOPs and the normal operating procedure for the AFW system to do such. (Ref.
- 22) A +1 SG Fill pump will be staged in the same location. An alternate injection path will be available for either pump.
With respect to filling the AFWST, procedural direction will be given to the operations staff to begin preparations to fill the AFWST at some pre-detennined level. Depending on the type of external event that took place, different tanks, basins and reservoirs will or will not be available as a supply to fill the AFWST. The FSG will list each potential source of water in order of priority and equipment needed will be staged and protected. This is open item #9. A 120VAC pump powered from a 120VAC diesel generator will be used for most of these sources; however, for the design basis flood, a gravity feed source will be used. The Feedwater Dearator (DA) is located above the flood level and above the top of the AFWST. The DA will be intact and available on a design basis flood. The DA has numerous one inch vents and drains that can be coupled together to gravity feed into the top of the AFWST. Three one inch vents on the north side of the bottom of the tank are selected for use in this strategy. The DA's volume is 195,000 gals (ref. 26). This volume would be adequate until the flood waters recede (-72 hours) when makeup can begin with another source.
At some point during "indefinite" coping, STP can bring in a 4160V diesel generator from the RRC and power one of the three ESF buses at one of the ESF transformers on the low (4160V) side. This will power the selected ESF 4160V electrical bus. This will provide power to permanent plant equipment for lighting, battery chargers, pumps, valves, fans, etc. With respect to core cooling, an AFW pump (motor driven) would be powered.

Provide a general description of the coping strategies using installedequipment including modifications that are proposed to maintain spentfiel pool cooling. Identify methods (makeup via portable injection source) and strategy (ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.
During Phase 1, the SFP will gradually begin to heat up due to the loss of forced circulation cooling and temperature is expected to start boiling (if start of event SFP temperature is 160'F) at just over 13 hours1.50463e-4 days <br />0.00361 hours <br />2.149471e-5 weeks <br />4.9465e-6 months <br />.

Thus, there are no phase 1 actions required at this time that need to be addressed. (Ref. 2)
NEI 12-06, section 3.2.1.6 also discusses the SFP conditions and assumes the SFP heat load is the maximum design basis heat load for the site. Using this assumption when the event occurs, the pool would begin to boil in about 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> and would boil down to 10 feet above the fuel in about 25 hours2.893519e-4 days <br />0.00694 hours <br />4.133598e-5 weeks <br />9.5125e-6 months <br />.
(Ref. 27 Case 7B on page 63) The FLEX SFP Fill pump will be sized to meet or exceed the makeup required for this heat load.
Regardless of which initial conditions are assumed, STP can makeup to the SFP prior to reaching what NEI 12-02 calls level 2 by at least one of the three methods of makeup:

STPNOC FLEX Integrated Plan Maintain Spent Fuel Pool Cooling PWR Portable Equipment Phase 3:
Provide a generaldescription of the coping strategies usingphase 3 equipment including modifications that areproposed to maintain spentfitel pool cooling. Identify methods (makeup via portable injection source) and strategy (ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.
With the loss of spent fuel pool water due to boiling, makeup will be required. There are three options for providing makeup to the SFP:
- 1. A Reactor Makeup Water (RMW) pump can make up to the SFP by opening one valve in the Fuel Handling Building and starting the RMW pump. This is proceduralized in Ref. 14 but will require power to be supplied to the pump via the FLEX DG. The 480V FLEX generator staged on the MAB roof would supply power to this pump using pre-installed cabling and, after the event, maintenance personnel will take the cabling to the 480V motor control center and connect power to the individual breaker that feeds this pump. Fairly early in the event (- 12 hrs), this manual valve (FC-0048) shall be opened so that, if the operating deck of the SFP were to become inaccessible at some point later in the event, SFP fill could still be performed. The RMW pump will take suction on the RMWST.
- 2. A pre-staged FLEX SFP fill pump will be attached to the ECCS system in a manner still to be determined. This pump would then provide water to a hose line which would be run to the 68' elevation where it can feed water to the SFP. This would be similar to the existing strategy called for in Ref. 14, , albeit with a FLEX pump in place. The hoses that will be deployed to the SFP deck are already in location, protected in a safety related building (the FHB). This FLEX pump will take suction on the RWST.
- 3. Other large capacity (1000 gpm at 175 psig) diesel driven pumps are available to provide a high volume of water to the SFP using hoses as described already or using spray. These pumps may be stored / protected on site or at the RRC. (Open item #3.) These pumps can take suction on a variety of water sources in the plant area including the Main Cooling Reservoir and the Ultimate Heat Sink. This means of SFP makeup is already proceduralized in references 19 and 29.
At some point during "indefinite" coping, STP can bring in a 4160V diesel generator from the RRC and power one of the three ESF buses at one of the ESF transformers on the low (4160V) side. This will power the selected ESF 4160V electrical bus. This will provide power to permanent plant equipment for lighting, battery chargers, pumps, valves, fans, etc. With respect to Spent Fuel Pool inventory, another Reactor Makeup Water pump or a Safety Injection pump (motor driven) could be powered.

Details:
Provide a brief description of Procedures / Strategies / Guidelines Conifirm that procedure/guidanceexists or will be developed to support implementation with a description of the procedure/ strategy / guideline.
Communications: As previously discussed, each unit now has 2 portable satellite phones and additional batteries. Also each unit has been provided additional batteries and a charger for radio communications. These are stored in an Emergency Locker in a safety related building. 120V FLEX diesel generators will provide power to charge these batteries during the event. The communications assessment performed in 2012 revealed the potential need for two mobile satellite/cell communications systems that will need to be protected. These may be provided by the RRC. STP will meet the requirements of NEI 12-01, Section 4; however, specifics have not been determined yet. As they are identified, they will be incorporated and protection/storage strategies developed.
Lighting: Each operator has portable lighting on his person and additional headlamps will be stored in protected locations throughout the plant. Appendix R lighting should last at least 8 hrs. (Ref. 23)
Additional lighting (e.g. Battle-lanterns) is located inside the power block. In the event that areas are discovered where additional lighting is desired, lighting strings are purchased and will be located in areas inside the power block. 120V FLEX diesel generators will provide power to these light strings.
Ventilation: 120V high volume fans are already strategically located in the EAB for use during loss of HVAC events. These fans would be used to move air for personnel and equipment. They would be powered from the 120V FLEX diesel generators.
Instrumentation: There will be 4 channels of redundant critical instrumentation for the first 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> of the event.

Once the FLEX generator is started and powers the A and C safety related battery charges, at least 2 channels of instrumentation will be available for the duration of the event. Heatup calculations for the Qualified Display Parameter System (QDPS), a safety related, post TMI, micro-processor, cabinets and the class 1E inverters show that prior to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> into the event, the room doors will need to be opened for ventilation. (Ref. 12) Following opening the room doors, the cabinets and inverters will not reach their high temperature limit for another 3 days. (Ref.12) By then forced ventilation will be established per the FSGs. In the unlikely event that all DC were to be lost or the ability to monitor parameters is lost in the control room, a procedure will be written to guide operators in monitoring critical parameters at the QDPS cabinets using a multimeter. (Open item #9.)
Fuel Oil: A 120V DG will be stored in one of the ESF Diesel Generator Buildings along with a pump that will pump fuel oil from one of the ESF DG Fuel Oil Storage Tanks to the FLEX DG fuel oil tank on top of the MAB roof. Approximately 300' of 1" hose will be staged to support this strategy. (Ref.
- 15) A 1" fuel oil chemical sampling line will be used for suction to this pump. 5 gallon fill cans will be used to fuel the 120V DG. It will be filled at either the previously mentioned chemical sampling line of one of the ESF DGs or using the small fuel oil transfer pump, whichever is easiest. See conceptual Page 45 of 73 February 2013
STPNOC FLEX Integrated Plan Safety Functions Support PWR Portable Equipment Phase 2 drawings #2 and 3. STP has approximately 180,000 gallons of diesel fuel that is protected from external events. The 480V FLEX diesel generator will use approximately (TBD) gallons per hour at full load and the three 120V diesel generators will use 1 gal/hr each; thus, there will be enough fuel to last TBD days. (Open item # 15.) Other equipment that uses diesel fuel are the diesel driven pumps used in Phase 3 to fill tanks and spray the SFP if necessary.
Storage: Storage locations are to be determined. The primary challenge to storing any equipment outside the power block is how to protect against the design basis flood. The equipment that requires storage will most likely be the high capacity diesel driven pumps. STP is evaluating storing the diesel driven pumps inside the FHB truck bay where they would be protected from all events except flooding.
They would be at their deployment location for SFP spray capability, which will not be required in the event of a flood, only a seismic event. (Open item #3.)

At some point during "indefinite" coping, STP can bring in a 4160V diesel generator from the RRC and power one of the three ESF buses at the ESF transformers on the low (4160V) side. This will power the selected ESF 4160V electrical bus. This will provide power to permanent plant equipment for lighting, battery chargers, pumps, valves, fans, etc. For a design basis flood from the MCR, this strategy would not be possible until after the flood waters recede (- 72 hrs).

Provide a brief description of Procedures / Strategies / Guidelines Confirm that procedure/guidanceexists or will be developed to support implementation with a description of the procedure /strategy /guideline.
N+I: STP recognizes that, because phase 1 coping of each of the four safety functions will last beyond the time required for offsite resources to arrive at the site, the need for "+1" equipment is debatable.
However, because of where this equipment must be pre-staged, STP will have equipment to support the
"+ 1" requirement. The N and + 1 equipment for each of these primary strategies will be provided by permanent plant equipment (pumps) and FLEX pumps all powered by the 480V FLEX DG. There will be at least 2 pumps to makeup to each of the Safety Functions' systems/components: SG feed, RCS fill and SFP fill.
STP is still evaluating whether the backup 480V generator should be stored on the roof with the N generator or if it can be stored at the RRC and brought in before the 30 hour3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br /> point is reached. If the event is not a flood, it may be more prudent to bring in a 4160V diesel generator as the backup power source and install it to an ESF transformer as described earlier.
