The FSG's are awaiting final approval just prior to FLEX implementation.

Page 2 of 17 Enclosure to ULNRC-06184 4 Changes to Compliance Method The following changes have been made to Ameren Missouri's Overall Integrated Plan (OIP) (Reference

1) since submittal of the Third Six-Month Status Report (Reference 13). I 4.1 Modes 5-6 Strategies Ameren Missouri is revising our Mode 5 -6 Shutdown ELAP Strategy due to concerns that the Refueling Water Storage Tank (R WST) is not missile hardened.

The strategy is being revised to utilize the new Hardened Condensate Storage Tank(s) (HCST) as a water source and the Boric Acid Tanks (BATS) and/or a mobile boration unit as a boron source. Further evaluation is required to fully develop this strategy.

5 Need for Relief/Relaxation and Basis for the Relief/Relaxation In Reference 4, Ameren Missouri formally requested relief from the requirement of Section IV .A.2 of the Order (EA-12-049) regarding full implementation no later than two (2) refueling cycles after submittal of the Overall Integrated Plan. NRC approval of the requested relief was received in Reference 5, relaxing full Order implementation for Callaway Plant until the completion of the spring 2016 refueling outage. The milestone schedule in Section 3 has been updated for consistency with the approved schedule relief. No additional relief is requested herein. Page 3 ofl7 Enclosure to ULNRC-06184 6 Open Items from Overall Integrated Plan and Interim Safety Evaluation The following tables provide a summary of the open items documented in the OIP or the Interim Safety Evaluation (ISE) and the status of each item. Overall Integrated Plan Open Item 011 The RWST will need to be missile protected to credit its use in FLEX strategies.

012 GOTIDC analysis needs to be performed to demonstrate that Containment pressure and temperature remain at acceptable levels and that instrumentation EQ requirements will be maintained.

013 An analysis will need to be performed to demonstrate acceptable SFP cooling pump performance with the SFP in off. Status Started For MODES 1-4, missile protection of the RWST is not a concern from a FLEX strategy standpoint since the R WST is not required as a Reactor Coolant System (RCS) make-up & boration source. The Boric Acid Storage Tanks (BASTs) provide sufficient make-up volume to maintain sub-cooling (natural circulation removing decay heat removal via the Steam Generators) and sub-criticality of the reactor core. Low leakage Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) seals will limit RCS leakage to less than or equal to 1 gpm/RCP ( 4 gpm/total).

Assuming a maximum unidentified RCS leakage of 1 gpm, the total RCS leakage is 5 gpm. Ameren Missouri is revising our Mode 5 -6 Shutdown ELAP Strategy due to concerns that the R WST is not missile protected.

The strategy is being revised to utilize the new Hardened Condensate Storage Tank(s) (HCST) as a water source and the Boric Acid Tanks (BATS) and/or a mobile boration unit as a boron source. Further evaluation is required to fully develop this strategy.

Started. The Gothic Analysis for all modes of operation has been performed.

Containment pressure and temperature remain at acceptable levels. The results of the Instrumentation EQ Analysis are currently under review. Closed. The Spent Fuel Pool Cooling Pumps will not be repowered.

SFP cooling will be maintained by continued makeup and boil-off using the Phase 2 portable equipment.

Page 4 of 17 Enclosure to ULNRC-06184 Overall Integrated Plan Open Item OI4 For non-Class IE instrumentation that will be repowered using a temporary battery, an analysis will need to be performed to determine battery life and frequency of replacing battery OI5 The current CST and CST pipe chase are non-seismic.

Callaway may pursue the construction of a new seismically qualified and missile protected CST. Current FLEX strategies rely on the existing CST tank. Future evaluation is required to determine the impact on FLEX strategies should the new CST be constructed.

OI6 The method for isolating accumulators during RCS inventory control has not been finalized OI7 The method for repowering the SFP cooling pumps has not been finalized.

Status Closed. Ameren Missouri has determined that the non-Class 1 E instrument racks will not be re-powered via a temporary battery. The required instrument readings will be obtained via portable instruments.

Started. Ameren Missouri will construct a new Hardened Condensate Storage Tank (HCST) that is seismically qualified and missile protected.

Relaxation of Order requirements regarding the date of full implementation was requested (Reference

4) and has been approved (Reference 5). FLEX Support Guidelines (FSG) will be developed for use of the new HCST. Callaway is currently re-evaluating the HCST design. Closed. The method for isolating accumulators during RCS inventory control has been finalized.

Step 1 of FSG-10, "Passive RCS Injection Isolation (Rev. 0)," determines if isolation of Safety Injection (SI) Accumulators is desired. If the Steam Generators will be depressurized below 220 psig, then the SI accumulators are isolated by closure of their discharge isolation valves (if power is available from FLEX 480 VAC Generator) or vented to the containment atmosphere.

Callaway Energy Center calculation, BB-180 Rev.O Add. 5 "Minimum Steamline Pressure to Prevent Accumulator Nitrogen Injection," establishes the site specific value for the Westinghouse Owners Group Emergency Response Guidelines Setpoint 0.07 that is used in the Emergency Operating Procedures (i.e., ECA-0.0, "Loss of All AC Power," Step 17, Rev. 0 19). The site calculation takes into consideration the potential for nitrogen expansion/SI accumulator pressure increase from heat sources within the containment building (i.e., RCS). Closed. The SFP Cooling Pumps will not be repowered.

SFP cooling will be maintained by continued makeup and boil-off using the Phase 2 portable equipment.

Page 5 of 17 Enclosure to ULNRC-06184 Overall Integrated Plan Open Item 018 The Westinghouse RCP SHIELD Seal issue has not been resolved.

Interim Safety Evaluation Open Item 3.2.1.2.B

-RCP Seal 0-Ring Integrity and Leakage Rate Additional review of the licensee's applicable analysis and relevant Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) seal leakage testing data is needed to justify that (1) the integrity of the associated 0-rings will be maintained at the temperature conditions experienced during the ELAP event, and (2) the seal leakage rate used in the ELAP is adequate and acceptable.

3.2.1.2.D-RCP Seal Leakage Rate The acceptability of the use of the selected seals and the RCP seal leakages rates in the ELAP analysis must be justified.

Status Closed. This issue has been resolved.

NRC Endorsement of TR-FSE-14-1-P, RCP SHIELD Seal is documented in NRC Letter from Mr. Jack Davis, Director, Mitigating Strategies Directorate to Mr. James A. Gresham, Manager, Regulatory Compliance, Westinghouse Electric Company LLC, dated May 28, 2014 (ML14132A128). (Reference

NRC Endorsement of TR-FSE-14-1-P, RCP SHIELD Seal is documented in NRC Letter from Mr. Jack Davis, Director, Mitigating Strategies Directorate to Mr. James A. Gresham, Manager, Regulatory Compliance, Westinghouse Electric Company LLC, dated May 28, 2014 (ML14132A128). (Reference

14) Page 6 of 17 Enclosure to ULNRC-06184 Interim Safety Evaluation Open Item 3 .2.1.3 .A-Specify Key Parameters During the NRC audit process the licensee was requested to provide the following information:

If the ANS 5 .1-1979 + 2 sigma model is used in the ELAP analysis, specify the values of the following key parameters used to determine the decay heat: ( 1) initial power level, (2) fuel enrichment, (3) fuel bum up, ( 4) effective full power operating days per fuel cycle, (5) number of fuel cycles, if hybrid fuels are used in the core, and ( 6) fuel characteristics based on the beginning of the cycle, middle of the cycle, or end of the cycle. Address the adequacy of the values used. If the different decay heat model is used, describe the specific model and address the acceptability of the model and the analytical results. 3.2.1.8.B Boric Acid Mixing The Pressurized-Water Reactor Owners Group submitted to the NRC a position paper, dated August 15, 2013, which provides test data regarding boric acid mixing under single-phase natural circulation conditions and outlined applicability conditions intended to ensure that boric acid addition and mixing would occur under conditions similar to those for which boric acid mixing data is available.

During the audit process, the licensee informed the NRC staff of its intent to abide by the generic approach discussed above; however, the NRC staff concluded that the August 15, 2013, position paper was not adequately justified and that further information is required.

Status Started. Ameren Missouri will provide the requested information.

Started. The NRC has subsequently endorsed the position paper with some clarifications (Reference 9). Ameren Missouri will evaluate the clarifications and include needed information in the Final Integrated Plan (FIP), if needed. Page 7 of 17 Enclosure to ULNRC-06184 Interim Safety Evaluation Open Item 3.2.4.9.A Fuel Oil Quality Information is needed regarding plans for assuring and maintaining fuel oil quality. 3.4.A Offsite Resource Capabilities Details are needed to demonstrate the minimum capabilities for offsite resources will be met per NEI 12-06 Section 12.2. Status Complete.

All trailer mounted diesel-driven equipment housed inside the Hardened Storage Building (HSB) will be individually equipped with a trailer mounted automatic fuel oil purification system that maintains the quality of the fuel oil inside the trailer's tank. After the ELAP, the only "guaranteed" source of fuel-oil (besides what is stored inside the HSB) will be the Emergency Diesel Fuel Oil Storage Tanks (TJEO 1A & B). Existing sampling requirements for TEJ01A/B are delineated in Diesel Fuel Oil Testing Program as required by TIS SIR 3.8.3.3. FSG-44, FLEX Diesel Fuel Strategy, has been developed to provide direction for supplying diesel fuel for FLEX response equipment during an ELAP event. This FSG provides guidance for obtaining diesel fuel oil from the Emergency Diesel Day Tanks (TJE02 AlB), as well as the Emergency Diesel Fuel Oil Storage Tanks (TJEO 1A & B). Instructions for obtaining fuel from other non-robust diesel fuel tanks are also included in this FSG in the event the tank survives the event. Complete The National Safer Response Centers (NSRC) in Memphis, TN., and Phoenix, AR., are operational.

Ameren Missouri has a contract with NSRC to provide Phase 3 FLEX portable equipment.

The NRC Staff Assessment of the NSRCs is documented in NRC Letter from Mr. Jack Davis, Director Mitigating Strategies Directorate to Mr. Joseph E. Pollock, Vice President, Nuclear Operations, Nuclear Energy Institute, dated September 26, 2014 (ML14265A107).

The Staff Assessment evaluated all the items listed in NEI 12-06, Section 12.2. (Reference 15). Page 8 of 17 Enclosure to ULNRC-06184 Interim Safety Evaluation Confirmatory Item 3 .1.1.2.A -CST Seismic Hazard Because the current CST is unprotected from seismic hazard, the licensee is planning to install a new CST. Verification of installation is necessary.

3 .1.1.2.B -Electrical Power for FLEX Equipment Deployment Information is needed regarding whether or not electrical power will be required to move or deploy FLEX equipment from storage. 3 .1.2.A-RWST and UHS Flood Levels Licensee stated that UHS and refueling water storage tank (R WST) are below flood levels but the licensee needs to address potential consequences such as debris in the UHS or access to RWST. In addition, the staff noted that the deployment of FLEX equipment and associated procedural interfaces may be impacted by the UHS and R WST being below the design-basis flood level. Status Started The new Hardened Condensate Storage Tank (HCST) is scheduled to complete by the end of Refuel 21 (RF21) Complete Electrical Power will not be required to move or deploy FLEX equipment from storage. Started For MODES 1-4, the RWST being located below the maximum plant site flood level of Elevation 840.16 ft. mean sea level (MSL) is not a concern from a FLEX strategy standpoint since the R WST is not required as a Reactor Coolant System (RCS) make-up & boration source. The Boric Acid Storage Tanks (BASTs) provide sufficient make-up volume to maintain sub-cooling (natural circulation removing decay heat removal via the Steam Generators) and sub-criticality of the reactor core. Low leakage Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) seals will limit RCS leakage to less than or equal to 1 gpm/RCP ( 4 gpm/total).

Assuming a maximum unidentified RCS leakage of 1 gpm, the total RCS leakage is 5 gpm. Ameren Missouri is revising the Mode 5 -6 Shutdown ELAP Strategy due to concerns that the R WST is not missile protected and in a later update will provide the necessary information documenting the evaluation for the utilization of the RWST as a water source. The impact of the UHS being below flood level is still being evaluated.

Ameren Missouri will provide the requested information in a later submittal.

Page 9 of 17 Enclosure to ULNRC-06184 Interim Safety Evaluation Confirmatory Item 3 .1.3 .3 .A -The licensee did not provide information with regard to procedural interface considerations as they relate to tornados.

3 .2.1.A -Potential Nitrogen Injection from Accumulators into RCS The licensee needs to confirm that adverse quantities of nitrogen from accumulators will not be injected into the RCS during an ELAP event using an acceptable methodology that accounts for the potential for heat transfer from the containment building to the contents ofthe accumulator.

Status Started. The following will be included in the Ameren Missouri Final Integrated Plan (FIP): Tornados are generally fast moving events and over quickly. OTO-ZZ-00012, Severe Weather, provides instructions to prepare the plant for severe weather conditions and a potential station blackout.

Ameren Missouri has identified multiple deployment routes for the FLEX portable equipment in the event of damage to the deployment routes. Ameren Missouri has also developed FLEX Support Guideline FSG-5, Initial Assessment and Flex Equipment Staging, to provide guidelines to establish clear access routes and for the deployment of the portable FLEX Equipment.

Complete.

Step 1 of FSG-1 0, "Passive RCS Injection Isolation (Rev. 0)," determines if isolation of Safety Injection (SI) Accumulators is desired. If the Steam Generators will be depressurized below 220 psig, then the SI accumulators are isolated by closure of their discharge isolation valves (if power is available from FLEX 480 VAC Generator) or vented to the containment atmosphere.

Callaway Energy Center calculation, BB-180 Rev.O Add. 5 "Minimum Steamline Pressure to Prevent Accumulator Nitrogen Injection," establishes the site specific value for the Westinghouse Owners Group Emergency Response Guidelines Setpoint 0.07 that is used in the Emergency Operating Procedures (i.e., ECA-0.0, "Loss of All AC Power," Step 17, Rev. 0 19). The site calculation takes into consideration the potential for nitrogen expansion/SI accumulator pressure increase from heat sources within the containment building (i.e., RCS). Page 10 of 17 Enclosure to ULNRC-06184 Interim Safety Evaluation Confirmatory Item 3 .2.1.B -Effect of failure of NSR portion of TDAFP recirculation line The licensee needs to confirm that the potential failure of nonsafety-related portions of the turbine-driven auxiliary feedwater pump recirculation header piping would not (1) adversely affect the quantity of condensate required for secondary makeup or (2) result in adverse accumulation of water in the CST pipe chase or other areas of the plant. 3.2.l.l.A

-Use of NOTRUMP Computer Code Reliance on the NOTRUMP code for the ELAP analysis of Westinghouse plants is limited to the flow conditions prior to reflux condensation initiation.

This includes specifying an acceptable definition for reflux condensation cooling. 3.2.1.2.C

-RCP SHEILD SEAL Part 21 Report Further information is required to assess address the impacts of the Westinghouse 1 0 CFR Part 21 report, "Notification of the Potential Existence of Defects Pursuant to 10CFR Part 21," dated July 26, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML 13211A168) on the use of the low seal leakage rate in the ELAP analysis.

Status Started Ameren Missouri is revising the FSGs to provide direction to isolate recirculation flow back to the CST. The construction of the new Hardened Condensate Storage Tank will minimize the loss of auxiliary feedwater from the turbine-driven AFW pump recirculation header piping. Complete.

Ameren Missouri has used generic plant ELAP analyses performed with the NOTRUMP computer code to support the mitigating strategy in its Overall Integrated Plan (OIP). The use of NOTRUMP was limited to the thermal-hydraulic conditions before reflux condensation initiates.

The initiation of reflux condensation cooling is defmed when the one-hour centered moving average (CMA) of the flow quality at the top of the SG U-tube bend exceeds 0.1 in any one loop. Complete.

This issue has been resolved.

14) Page 11 of 17 Enclosure to ULNRC-06184 Interim Safety Evaluation Confirmatory Item 3.2.1.5.A

-Potential effect of containment harsh conditions of needed instrumentation The Integrated Plan did not address whether instrumentation credited m the ELAP analysis for automatic actuations and for indications required for the operators to take action are reliable and accurate m the containment harsh conditions.

The licensee responded to this question m the audit process by pointing out that the licensee's self-identified open item related to the containment environment (01 2) addresses this Issue. The licensee also stated that Westinghouse will be asked to perform a GOTHIC analysis of the containment to demonstrate that acceptable temperature and pressure levels will not be exceeded.

3.2.1.6.A-Validation of FLEX Strategies On page 11 of the Integrated Plan, following the sequence of events listed, the licensee stated that to confirm the times given, the licensee will prepare procedures for each task, perform time study walkthroughs for each of the tasks under simulated ELAP conditions, and account for equipment and tagging and other administrative procedures required to perform the task. Further review of the Sequence of Events will be required following this review. 3.2.1.8.A-Borated Coolant Basis Adequate basis is needed for the timing and quantity of the injection of borated coolant as well as justification that administrative procedures will ensure that subcriticality requirements for future cores are bounded. Status Started. The Gothic Analysis for all modes of operation has been performed.

Containment pressure and temperature remain at acceptable levels. The results of the Instrumentation EQ Analysis are currently under review. Started FLEX Support Guidelines (FSG) have been prepared for each task. Validation of the FSG' s will be performed per the approved NEI Guidance.

The validations will assure that required tasks, manual actions, and decisions for FLEX strategies are feasible and may be executed within the constraints identified in the Overall Integrated Plan (OIP)/Final Integrated Plan (FIP) for Order EA-12-049.

Started Ameren Missouri will provide the basis for the timing and quantity of the injection of borated coolant. In addition, Ameren Missouri will provide the justification that administrative procedures will ensure that subcriticality requirements for future cores are bounded. Page 12 of 17 Enclosure to ULNRC-06184 Interim Safety Evaluation Confirmatory Item 3 .2.2.A-SFP Cooling Connection Points The licensee stated the water supply for SFP cooling involves three connections points, all located on the exterior of the fuel building.

The connection points on the exterior of the fuel building will need to be protected from high wind missile strikes. If protection is not possible, the connection points will need to be relocated to the inside of the building.

The configuration needs to be resolved.

3.2.2.B-Basis for SFP boil-off time The licensee stated that Westinghouse is being asked to clarify the basis for the 48 hour5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> boil off time for the SFP level and the resulting information will be provided in a future 6-month update to the Integrated Plan. 3 .2.3 .A -Containment Condition Analysis The licensee will use GOTHIC to analyze containment conditions and based on the results of this evaluation, will develop required actions to ensure maintenance of containment integrity and required instrument function.

The licensee stated that a detailed discussion of the GOTHIC analysis will be provided in a future 6-month update to address containment cooling during an ELAP event. Status Complete.

ULNRC-06087, Ameren Missouri's second month OIP submittal update (Reference 12), section 4.4, stated that the three connections (primary, secondary, and spray) for the Spent Fuel Pool Cooling strategy had been revised to place these connections just inside the building.

An evaluation determined that the connection points would accessible early in the event. Complete The boil off time in the OIP to a level of 15 feet above the fuel racks should have been 3 5 .2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />.

This action should also address the capability to vent the SFP area. 3.2.4.3.A

-Freeze Protection for FLEX Equipment The potential for ( 1) freezing of water in FLEX equipment and (2) crystallization of boric acid solution, and therefore the potential need for heat tracing on Chemical and volume control system lines, is still not addressed for long periods of time during the ELAP event scenarios.

The licensee stated that additional work is required on these subjects to ensure that the potential for freezing and boron solidification is addressed.

Status Started. FSG-45, Temporary Ventilation and Lighting, will provide detailed written instructions to address this Confirmatory Item. Started. A Gothic Analysis is being performed to ensure that the temperature in the battery rooms does not fall below 60oF due to extreme low outside temperatures until such time that the FLEX generators are supplying the battery chargers.

At that time, battery capacity is no longer dependent on ambient temperature.

Started. For coping times beyond 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, temporary ventilation will be provided.

Callaway will utilize EOP Addendum 20, Control Room Cabinet Door List, FSG-45, Temporary Ventilation and Lighting, and Attachment II of Emergency Coordinator Supplemental Guide, Fuel Building Ambient Cooling, to address NEI 12-06 Section 3.2.2, Guideline

10. Started. Callaway has developed FSG-50, Freeze Protection for ELAP Response.

FSG-50 is being modified to incorporate ways to keep the Boric Acid Tanks (BATs) from freezing.

Confirmation is required to demonstrate that upgrades to the site's communication systems have been completed.

3.2.4.6.A-Temporary Ventilation There were several references m the Integrated Plan regarding the need for analyses and procedures to address ventilation of areas such as equipment rooms and the spent fuel pool area. The licensee responded to questions regarding habitability and stated that the subject of area ventilation will be addressed in a future 6-month update. 3.2.4.7.A-RWST Missile Protection The licensee stated the primary strategy for providing adequate cooling during Modes 5 and 6 will take suction from the new R WST connection on the RWST drain line. The licensee further stated that the R WST is seismically qualified but not missile protected.

The licensee has noted a identified open item stating that the RWST will be missile protected to credit its use in core cooling with SGs not available strategies.

Status Complete.

Callaway has developed FSG-45, Temporary Ventilation and Lighting, This FSG identifies the various sources of power available tor temporary lighting.

Temporary Lighting will be stored in the Hardened Storage Building.

Started. Callaway has modified the plant radio passive antenna system in the power block to enhance radio communications The radio cart has been procured and is stored in the Hardened Storage Building.

External antennas have been installed in the Control Room, TSC, and EOF to support satellite phone communications.

Acceptance Testing ofthe portable radio cart remains and is currently scheduled for completion in the first quarter of2015. Started Callaway will utilize EOP Addendum 20, Control Room Cabinet Door List, FSG-45, Temporary Ventilation and Lighting, and Attachment II of Emergency Coordinator Supplemental Guide, Fuel Building Ambient Cooling, to address NEI 12-06 Section 3.2.2, Guideline

10. Started. Ameren Missouri is revising the Mode 5 -6 Shutdown ELAP Strategy due to concerns that the RWST is not missile hardened.

The strategy is being revised to utilize the new Hardened Condensate Storage Tank (HCST) as a water source and the Boric Acid Tanks (BATS) and/or a mobile boration unit as a boron source. Further evaluation is required to fully develop this strategy.

Page 15 of 17 Enclosure to ULNRC-06184 Interim Safety Evaluation Confirmatory Item 3.2.4.10.A-Effect of Load Shed Evolution With regard to the battery load shed evolution, the licensee did not address the general question as to whether the potential loss of plant functions and resulting consequences has been addressed.

Also, the licensee explained that the main generator seal oil pump is powered from the balance of plant batteries but did not address generator hydrogen hazards when the balance of plant batteries are exhausted.

Licensee is requested to address these concerns.

Status Started Ameren Missouri is formulating the response to this item and will provide the requested information at a later update submittal.
