119 Page 2 of 119 APS Overall Integrated Plan in Response to March 12, 2012 Commission Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events Executive Summary On March 12, 2012, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Order EA-12-049 to all licensees requiring implementation of mitigation strategies for beyond-design-basis external events (BDBEE), as identified in Near-Term Task Force (NTTF) Recommendation

4.2. Order

EA-12-049 requires submission of an overall integrated plan to the NRC by February 28, 2013. In order to assist the industry in responding to the NRC order, the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) developed guidance in report number 12-06, "Diverse and Flexible Coping Strategies (FLEX) Implementation Guide." NRC interim staff guidance (ISG) JLD-ISG-2012-01 endorses, with clarifications, the methodologies described in NEI 12-06.This submittal describes the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (PVNGS) Overall Integrated Plan, including key assumptions, implementing strategies, and operator action times for complying with the NRC order and implementing FLEX, as described by JLD-ISG-2012-01 and NEI 12-06. The PVNGS Overall Integrated Plan contains a description of the general elements of the plan, followed by a discussion of the safety functions that are identified in the order, which are core cooling, containment integrity, and spent fuel pool cooling.The NRC order requires that the underlying strategies for coping with BDBEE involve a three-phase approach:* Phase 1: Initially cope by relying on installed plant equipment.

  • Phase 2: Transition from installed plant equipment to on-site FLEX equipment.
  • Phase 3: Obtain additional capability and redundancy from off-site equipment to provide coping capability for an indefinite period of time.These phases are discussed in the response in terms of how each phase addresses the identified safety functions.

The first step of the FLEX strategy is establishment of the baseline coping capability to maintain or restore key plant safety functions under the conditions of an extended loss of alternating current (ac) power (ELAP) and loss of normal access to the ultimate heat sink (LUHS). These strategies are independent of a specific damage state or mechanistic assessment of external events. To meet the requirements of an overall integrated plan, the safety functions of core cooling, containment integrity, and spent fuel pool cooling need to be maintained indefinitely under these conditions.

Using conservative operator action times and NEI 12-06 guidance, Arizona Public Service (APS) has determined that the long term coping and approach to shutdown cooling is achievable without loss of natural circulation flow. APS is also developing procedures and processes to address plant strategies for implementing the overall integrated plan.Based on NEI 12-06 screening guidance, the two external hazards that are applicable to PVNGS are seismic and extreme heat. APS has evaluated the functional threats from each of these hazards and identified FLEX equipment and strategies that are expected to be effective in mitigating these events.Based on this evaluation, strategies that focus on the seismic hazard were selected, since extreme high temperatures for a prolonged duration and extreme drought are slowly progressing meteorological Page 3 of 119 APS Overall Integrated Plan in Response to March 12, 2012 Commission Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events events which can be adequately addressed by existing plant procedures that will ensure the plant is shut down, if required, and placed in a safe condition for these situations.

The information within this submittal is prepared solely to support beyond design bases operational procedures to mitigate the limiting external events applicable to PVNGS. It provides a description of the conceptual approach used by APS to implement the PVNGS Overall Integrated Plan.Page 4 of 119 APS Overall Integrated Plan in Response to March 12, 2012 Commission Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events References

2) and determined that the Seismic and Extreme Heat hazards are applicable to PVNGS;and the External Flooding, High Wind and Extreme Cold hazards are not applicable to PVNGS. The basis for how the NEI 12-06 guidance was applied for each hazard is described below.APS has evaluated the functional threats from each of these hazards and identified equipment and strategies that are expected to be effective in deployment of Diverse and Flexible Coping Strategies (FLEX) equipment and mitigation of these events. The FLEX equipment is being purchased commercial grade and storage locations will be established to provide appropriate protection from these hazards. PVNGS is also developing procedures and processes to address plant strategies for responding to these hazards.Seismic: Table 4-2 of the NEI 12-06 guidance requires that all plants consider the impact of a seismic event.As a result, the FLEX equipment will be protected from the current PVNGS seismic design basis event to ensure the equipment remains accessible and can be delivered to its deployed location(s).

This assessment will include ensuring that storage locations and deployment routes meet the FLEX criteria.As described in the PVNGS Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) (Reference 4), section 3.7, Seismic Design, the seismic criteria include two design basis earthquake spectra: Operating Basis Earthquake (OBE) and Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE). The site seismic design response spectra define the vibratory ground motion of the OBE and the SSE for rock-supported structures.

The magnitude of the SSE and the OBE are 0.20g and 0.10g, respectively.

For additional conservatism, the seismic analysis for Seismic Category I structures was performed using a 0.25g SSE and a 0.13g OBE, These values constitute the design basis for PVNGS.Page 10 of 119 APS Overall Integrated Plan in Response to March 12, 2012 Commission Order Modifying Ucenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events General Integrated Plan Elements External Flooding: Access to Seismic Category I systems, structures and components (SSCs) at PVNGS is available above the elevation of the probable maximum flood level. The PVNGS site is susceptible to brief water buildup due to probable maximum precipitation (PMP); however, the PVNGS drainage system and grading plan is designed with sufficient capacity to prevent flooding of Seismic Category I structures (UFSAR, Section 2.4.2.2.2).

PVNGS is a dry site (UFSAR, Section 2.4.2.2) and does not rely on a permanently installed, seawall or levee for flood protection.

Therefore, PVNGS does not need to consider external flooding as a hazard defined in NEI 12-06 (Section 6.2.1).High Wind: Based upon the location of the site at 33°23'N and 112°52'W and the information provided in Figures 7-1 and 7-2 of NEI 12-06, PVNGS is not expected to experience winds exceeding 130 mph.Therefore, the high wind hazard is not applicable to PVNGS.Extreme Cold: The guidance of NEI 12-06 requires the consideration of the temperature ranges and weather conditions for each site with regard to the storage and deployment of the FLEX equipment.

However, NEI 12-06 further clarifies that snow, ice and extreme cold are not expected at sites in Southern California, Arizona, the Gulf Coast, and Florida. Because the site is located in Arizona and below the 3 5 th parallel (33°23'N and 112°52' W), the extreme cold hazard (which includes snow and ice) is not applicable to PVNGS.Extreme Heat: As stated in NEI 12-06, all sites are required to consider high temperatures in their characterization of site hazards. PVNGS addresses the effect of extreme heat on continued plant operation with current administrative controls if the temperature exceeds design basis values.PVNGS may experience extreme high temperatures for a prolonged duration.

However, the extreme drought and high temperature meteorological events progress slowly such that existing plant administrative and operational procedures are adequate to ensure that the plant is shut down and placed in a safe condition if the temperature of any SSCs exceed design basis limiting conditions.

The extreme heat event considered herein is a loss of AC power as a result of short duration high temperatures coincident with high electrical grid demands, resulting in a regional black out. During this type of event, the equipment conditions and water inventories at the station are expected to be within design limits such that no additional limitation on initial conditions/failures/abnormalities are expected.Page 11 of 119 APS Overall Integrated Plan in Response to March 12, 2012 Commission Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events General Integrated Plan Elements Key Site assumptions to Provide key assumptions associated with implementation of FLEX implement NEI 12-06 strategies Strategies: " Flood and seismic re-evaluations pursuant to the 10 CFR Ref: NEI 12-06 Section 3.2.1 50.54(f) letter of March 22, 2012 are not completed and therefore not assumed in this submittal." Exceptions for the site security plan or other (license/site specific) requirements of 1OCFR may be required." Deployment resources are assumed to begin arriving at hour 6 and fully staffed by 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.* Certain Technical Specifications cannot be complied with during FLEX implementation.

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 the 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 emergency operating procedures (EOP) in accordance with established EOP change processes, and their impact to the design basis capabilities of the unit evaluated under 10 CFR 50.59 (Reference 23). 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 73.55(p).The PVNGS FLEX strategies are based upon a range of initial conditions and assumptions which are consistent with those detailed in NEI 12-06, Section 3.2.1. Analysis has been performed consistent with the recommendations contained within the Executive Summary of the Pressurized Water Reactors Owners Group (PWROG) Core Cooling Position Paper (Reference

22) and assumptions from that document are incorporated into the plant-specific analytical bases. Generic industry criteria and assumptions and site-specific assumptions to be used in establishing baseline coping capability are presented here: NEI 12-06 Assumptions Initial Plant Conditions:
1. Prior to the event, the reactor has been operating at 100 percent rated thermal power for at least 100 days or has just been shut down from such a power history in advance of the postulated event.2. At the time of the postulated event, the reactor and supporting systems are within normal operating ranges for pressure, temperature, and water level for the plant conditions.

Plant equipment is either normally operating or available from the standby state as described in Page 12 of 119 APS Overall Integrated Plan in Response to March 12, 2012 Commission Order Modifying Ucenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events General Integrated Plan Elements the plant design and licensing basis.Initial Conditions:

3. No specific initiating event is used. The initial condition is assumed to be a loss of offsite power (LOOP) at the plant site resulting from an external event that affects the offsite power system either throughout the grid or at the plant with no prospect for recovery of offsite power for an extended period. The LOOP is assumed to affect all units at a plant site.4. Installed sources of emergency onsite AC power and station blackout (SBO) alternate ACR power sources are not available and are not imminently recoverable.
5. Cooling and makeup water inventories contained in systems or structures with designs that are robust with respect to seismic events, floods, and high winds, and associated missiles are available.
6. Normal access to the ultimate heat sink (UHS) is lost, but the water inventory in the UHS remains available and robust piping connecting the UHS to plant systems remains intact.The motive force for UHS flow (i.e., pumps) is assumed to be lost with no prospect for recovery.7. Fuel for FLEX equipment stored in structures with designs which are robust with respect to seismic events, floods and high winds and associated missiles, remains available.
8. Permanent plant equipment that is contained in structures with designs that are robust with respect to seismic events, floods, and high winds, and associated missiles, are available.
9. Other equipment, such as portable AC power sources, portable backup DC power supplies, spare batteries, and equipment credited for 50.54(hh)(2), may be used provided that it is reasonably protected from the applicable external hazards per Sections 5 through 9 and Section 11.3 of NEI 12-06 and has predetermined hookup strategies with appropriate procedures/guidance and the equipment is stored in a relatively close vicinity of the site.10. Installed electrical distribution systems, including inverters and battery chargers, remain available provided they are protected consistent with current station design.11. No additional events or single failures of SSCs are assumed to occur immediately prior to or during the event, including security events.12. Reliance on the fire protection system ring header as a water source is acceptable only if the header meets the criteria to be considered robust with respect to seismic events, floods, and high winds, and associated missiles.Reactor Transient Boundary Conditions:
13. Following the loss of all AC power, the reactor automatically trips and all rods are inserted.14. The main steam system valves (such as main steam isolation valves, turbine stops, atmospheric dumps, etc.), necessary to maintain decay heat removal functions operate as designed.15. Safety/relief valves or power operated relief valves initially operate in a normal manner if conditions in the reactor coolant system (RCS) so require. Normal valve reseating is also Page 13 of 119 APS Overall Integrated Plan In Response to March 12, 2012 Commission Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events General Integrated Plan Elements assumed.16. No independent failures, other than those causing the extended loss of all AC power (ELAP)/Ioss of UHS (LUHS) event, are assumed to occur in the course of the transient.

PWR Reactor Coolant Inventory Loss Assumptions:

17. Normal system leakage 18. Losses from letdown unless automatically isolated or until isolation is procedurally directed 19. Losses due to reactor coolant pump seal leakage (rate is dependent on RCP seal design)Initial Spent Fuel Pool (SFP) Conditions:
20. All boundaries of the SFP are intact, including the liner, gates, transfer canals, etc.21. Although sloshing may occur during a seismic event, the initial loss of SFP inventory does not preclude access to the refueling deck around the pool.22. SFP cooling system is intact, including attached piping.23. SFP heat load assumes the maximum design basis heat load for the site.Containment Isolation Valves 24. It is assumed that the containment isolation actions delineated in current station blackout coping procedures are sufficient.

The following assumptions are specific to the PVNGS site: 25. Flood and seismic re-evaluations pursuant to the 10 CFR 50.54(f) letter of March 12, 2012 are not completed and therefore not assumed in this submittal.

As the re-evaluations are completed, appropriate issues will be entered into the PVNGS corrective action program and addressed on a schedule commensurate with other licensing bases changes.26. The following conditions exist: a. Class 1E DC battery banks are available.

b. Class 1E AC and DC distribution system is available.
c. Initial operator response is the same as for a SBO event.d. PVNGS staff will be able to identify an ELAP condition within one (1) hour of event initiation in order to initiate actions required to address the BDBEE.e. Best estimate parameters and decay heat are used to establish operator action times.f. No failure of any SSC, in addition to the components specified in Reference 2, is assumed.27. The FLEX design hardened connections are protected against external hazards or are established at multiple and diverse locations.

Connections will be designed to Seismic Category I or augmented seismic requirements.

They will either be located in Seismic Category I structures or outside and above grade.28. Deployment routes and staging areas are assessed for the impact of hazards.Page 14 of 119 APS Overall Integrated Plan in Response to March 12,2012 Commission Order Modifying Ucenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events General Integrated Plan Elements 29. Exceptions to the site security plan or other license/site specific requirements will be considered in the FLEX support guidelines (FSGs).30. Required staffing levels will be determined consistent with guidance contained in NEI 12-06 for each of the site specific FLEX strategies.

Assumed available staffing levels will be determined consistent with NEI 12-01 (Reference 17), as described below.The event impedes site access as follows: a. Post event time: 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> -No site access. This duration reflects the time necessary to clear roadway obstructions, use different travel routes, mobilize alternate transportation capabilities (e.g., private resource providers or public sector support, etc.)b. Post event time: 6 to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> -Limited site access. Individuals may access the site by walking, personal vehicle or via alternate transportation capabilities (e.g., private resource providers or public sector support).c. Post event time: 24+ hours -Improved site access. Site access is restored to a near-normal status and/or augmented transportation resources are available to deliver equipment, supplies and large numbers of personnel.

31. FLEX equipment is stored with no fuel.32. Fueling and deployment of FLEX components will be initiated prior to the need for any equipment.
33. Portable FLEX components will be procured commercially and will meet the design requirements established in pressurized water reactor (PWR) Portable Equipment Phase 2 and Portable Equipment Phase 3 tables contained herein.34. PVNGS will install a Spent Fuel Pool Level Instrumentation System per NRC order EA-12-051 (Reference 18).35. The onsite FLEX equipment required for Phase 2 will be stored at a storage location which is close enough to its FLEX function location to not impact the installation of the equipment to meet its Phase 2 function and will be deployed using the roads shown in Attachment 3, Figure 3-1.36. RCS leakage through RCP seals will be lower than the maximum leakage at full RCS pressure.

Operator actions are credited for cooling and depressurizing the RCS. As RCS pressure diminishes, so will the attendant leakage. RCP seal leakage rates are dependent on RCS pressure and will decrease with decreasing pressure (Reference 5).37. Instrumentation on FLEX equipment will be used to confirm adequate performance of equipment functions.

Extent to which the guidance, Include a description of any alternatives to the guidance, and JLD-ISG-2012-01 and NEI 12-06,, provide a milestone schedule of planned action.are being followed.Identify any deviations to JLD-Page 15 of 119 APS Overall Integrated Plan in Response to March 12, 2012 Commission Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events General Integrated Plan Elements ISG-2012-01 and NEI 12-06.Ref: JLD-ISG-2012-01 Ref: NEI 12-06 Section 13.1 Based upon current plans, PVNGS does not expect to deviate from the guidelines provided in JLD-ISG-2012-01 and NEI 12-06. If, during ongoing planning and implementation activities, the need for a deviation is identified, the deviation will be communicated to the NRC in a future six month update.General Integrated Plan Elements 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 justification provided that the time can reasonably be met (for example, a walkthrough of deployment).

Describe in detail in this section the technical basis for the time constraint identified on the sequence of events timeline Attachment 1A See attached sequence of events timeline (Attachment 1A).Technical Basis Support information, see attached NSSS Significant Reference Analysis Deviation Table (Attachment 1B)General: The sequence of events timeline and associated mitigating strategy time constraints have been identified for the PVNGS Mode I to Mode 4 FLEX strategies (Phase 1 through Phase 3). The actions specified for Mode 1 to Mode 4 conditions are bounding when compared to the Mode 5, Mode 6 and full core offload scenarios because the upper mode scenarios require the most personnel, actions, and time constraints.

A table with the sequence of events timeline and a description of the related actions and time constraints is provided in Attachment 1A. The times identified to initiate each action in this section and in Attachment 1A are based on resource loading to allow completion of actions prior to their individual time constraints.

Time sensitive completion times are included.General information related to how time constraints were determined is provided below: 1. A plant specific thermal hydraulic evaluation of the PVNGS nuclear steam supply system (NSSS) response during the ELAP transient was performed using the Combustion Engineering Nuclear Transient Simulator (CENTS) computer code (Reference 5). The analysis methodology and assumptions of the plant specific evaluation are generally consistent with Page 16 of 119 APS Overall Integrated Plan in Response to March 12, 2012 Commission Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events General Integrated Plan Elements the similar generic analysis provided in WCAP-17601-P (Reference 14). In the evaluation, PVNGS identified some deviations between the two analysis methods. These deviations are noted in Attachment lB.2. CENTS is approved by the NRC for modeling of RCS natural circulation heat removal for single phase flow with vapor is present in the reactor vessel head and pressurizer (Reference 6). The FLEX strategy for PVNGS requires actions based on maintaining sufficient liquid inventory in the RCS such that vapor will be confined to these regions. This will be accomplished by performing an early plant cooldown to reduce RCS pressure and leakage and allow for injection from the Safety Injection Tanks (SITs). Subsequently, through alignment of Phase 2 FLEX equipment, RCS injection will be established prior to expansion of the vapor in the head or pressurizer into the hot leg. The required injection pressure at the RCS system boundary will be greater than the saturation pressure for the selected cooldown temperature.

3. Containment integrity was reviewed using computer code modular accident analysis program (MAAP) 4.0.7. MAAP was used to model the containment response for 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> post event and containment pressure and temperature did not exceed 50 percent of containment design limits.4. A best estimate decay heat curve was developed using SCALE 6 ORIGEN-APR for use in NSSS modeling (Reference 7).5. Environmental conditions within the control room and safety related battery rooms were evaluated using methods and tools from NUMARC 87-000, PCFLUD (Bechtel software) or GOTHIC 8.0 (Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) software).
6. PVNGS is an alternate AC, 16 hour1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br /> coping plant (10 CFR 50.63 and Regulatory Guide 1.55).Applicable portions of supporting analysis have been used in ELAP evaluations.

The PVNGS submittal and NRC acceptance of the 16 hour1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br /> coping analysis for station blackout are documented in Reference 8.Discussion of time constraints identified in Attachment 1A The discussion below describes those actions with time constraints listed in Attachment 1A.Table Item 4 -SBOG Fails to Start: As defined by NEI 12-06, alternate AC sources are lost during the ELAP event. PVNGS SBO procedures require the operator to start the SBOG. It is assumed that the SBOG fails to start within one hour of the start of the event. This is an ELAP time constraint since the SBO procedure credits the SBOG being available within one hour.Table Item 5 -Entry into ELAP: A time period of one hour is selected conservatively to ensure that ELAP entry conditions can be verified by control room staff and it is validated that alternate AC sources (i.e., two redundant trains of SBOGs) are not available.

One hour is a reasonable assumption since the SBOGs have to be manually started and they are located at the water reclamation facility approximately one mile from the PVNGS Unit 1 control room (Reference 10).it should be noted that during a multi-unit SBO event at PVNGS wherein the SBOGs function, it Page 17 of 119 APS Overall Integrated Plan in Response to March 12, 2012 Commission Order Modifying Ucenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events General Integrated Plan Elements would be necessary to select a unit(s) to place into ELAP because installed SBOG capacity will not support all units simultaneously.

This knowledge would be available prior to attempting to start the SBOGs. Therefore, it would be expected that for at least one unit, ELAP could be declared earlier.The basis for selecting a unit to place into ELAP and procedural direction for that selection will be developed to ensure effective decision making by plant staff.To ensure consistent performance, a simulator scenario will be developed to validate that the control room operators can recognize ELAP entry conditions within one hour.Table Item 6 -Start Cooldown:

Operations will promptly begin a cooldown following the declaration of ELAP. The cooldown will be performed at the normal cooldown rate of approximately 70"F/hour.

Cooldown rate will affect the amount of condensate inventory required in this stage of the event. Cooldown and depressurization of the RCS will result in reduced loss of RCS inventory from RCP seal leakage.During the event, RCS makeup to compensate for inventory loss from RCP seal leakage is provided from the SITs. Reduction of RCP seal leakage rates will prolong the time that SIT inventory will be available and extends the time until RCS makeup is required.Table Item 7 -Complete DC Load Shed: DC load shed must be completed within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> in order to achieve a battery coping time of 47 hours5.439815e-4 days <br />0.0131 hours <br />7.771164e-5 weeks <br />1.78835e-5 months <br /> on battery bank B (Reference 16, Section 8.6). For Phase 1, PVNGS can cope on the installed DC batteries for up to 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br /> with no load shedding.

If load shedding, as described in PVNGS Study 13-NS-A108 (Reference 12), is completed, the battery coping period is extended to 47 hours5.439815e-4 days <br />0.0131 hours <br />7.771164e-5 weeks <br />1.78835e-5 months <br />. This load shed strategy will preserve station batteries and provide additional time prior to needing to re-energize battery chargers.Table Item 8 -Open TDAFWP Room Door for Ventilation:

During an ELAP, the essential heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) unit in the TDAFWP room is inoperable.

However, the TDAFWP would be actuated automatically shortly after the initiation of the event. The system is powered by steam sources from each steam generator and from essential 120V AC power. This pump is bunkered at the 80 ft elevation (20 ft below ground elevation) in a water tight compartment.

The TDAFWP room temperature would increase as a result of heat addition from multiple sources such as steam piping, turbine, and gland seal or other leakages and heat generated by the control panel. To ensure that the functionality of the TDAFWP is maintained for the duration of the event, a new analysis using the GOTHIC computer code was performed.

The analysis results show that if the doors to the TDAFWP room are opened within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />, the room temperature will remain below the control cabinet critical component acceptable temperature (Reference

19) so that the TDAFWP will continue to perform its function.

Therefore, it is concluded that, to maintain temperature in the compartment for the duration of the event to a value at or below this limit, access doors to the TDAFWP room will need to be opened (Reference 19).Table Item 9 -Open Control Room Doors: Block open doors to provide ventilation to maintain control room temperature.

Reference 12,Section IX.3 provides a list of rooms reviewed (including Page 18 of 119 APS Overall Integrated Plan in Response to March 12, 2012 Commission Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events General Integrated Plan Elements the control room) and predicted temperatures.

Because load shed is to be completed within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />, heat loads in the control room are minimal (only essential identified instrumentation is powered).

It is predicted that long term control room temperature would approach outside air temperature, per design. The PVNGS FSG (Reference

13) will also include steps to open control room doors.Table Item 12 -Complete Operator Assessment Walkdowns:

PVNGS will include a post event operator assessment appendix for the FSGs. The operator assessment will evaluate and document the condition of plant SSCs after an ELAP event is declared.

It is assumed that this assessment will take up to four (4) hours, depending on the local site conditions.

The walkdowns will also include operator actions to aid in mitigating the event. Two actions with time constraints have been identified.

On the secondary side walkdowns, the condition of the condensate storage tank (CST) must be observed and selected valves must be closed. On the primary side walkdown, a vent path for the Fuel Building must be established before SFP boiling occurs. The vent path will be established by opening the fuel building rollup door.Table Item 12 contains a reference to Open Item 2 (012) which will provide tracking of actions to complete development of the FSG. Existing site EOPs will be updated to direct use of the FSG during an ELAP. Additionally, a program and procedural control process is being implemented to meet the requirements of NEI 12-06, section 2.4 and section 11.Table Item 12a -Establish a Fuel Building Vent Path: Fuel Building rollup door is manually opened prior to earliest predicted spent fuel pool time to boil (11.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br />). This provides a large ventilation pathway to maintain Fuel Building accessibility to the alternate SFP makeup pump location.Table Item 13 -ADV backup nitrogen exhausted:

ADV backup nitrogen supply is sized for 16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br />.ADVs will require manual operation once backup nitrogen supply is depleted.Table Item 14- 500 kW 480V Generators Installed:

Battery power is depleted if the generator is not available to power battery chargers (Reference 15, Section 8.6).Table Item 16 -Install Reactor Coolant System (RCS) Makeup Pump: Action is required to maintain subcooled natural circulation and to prevent two phase natural circulation.

Reference 5 (Case 2)shows that this action is required within 49 hours5.671296e-4 days <br />0.0136 hours <br />8.101852e-5 weeks <br />1.86445e-5 months <br /> (Reference 1S, Section 8.2).Table Item 17 -Establish SFP makeup: SFP makeup is established prior to SFP inventory being depleted below 10 feet above the fuel (39 hours4.513889e-4 days <br />0.0108 hours <br />6.448413e-5 weeks <br />1.48395e-5 months <br />). This level was selected based on the guidance of NEI 12-02, Rev. 1, (Reference

24) and will maintain radiation levels at or below 2.5 mr/hr, as discussed in Reference 4, Section 9.1.4.3.4.

Table Item 18 -Condensate Storage Tank (CST) Empties- Switchover to Reactor Makeup Water Tank (RMWT) (Refueling Water Tank (RWT) (for high Seismic Event)): When the CST depletes, the TDAFWP suction path is realigned to RMWT.Page 19 of 119 APS Overall Integrated Plan in Response to March 12, 2012 Commission Order Modifying Ucenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events General Integrated Plan Elements Table Item 19 -Vent nitrogen from SITs: This action is dependent on SIT injection rate, not event time. Operator action will be to vent SIT nitrogen over pressure when SIT level reaches 10% to preclude injection of nitrogen into RCS.General Integrated Plan Elements Identify how strategies will be Describe how the strategies will be deployed in all modes.deployed in all modes Ref: NEI 12-06 section 13.1.6 The FLEX strategies will be deployable in all Modes considering the following:

Programs and controls will be established to protect the equipment from applicable NEI 12-06 hazards. In addition, these programs will provide guidance to protect the staging location, deployment roads and pathways, and system connections for implementation of the FLEX strategies.

Equipment associated with these strategies will be procured as commercial grade equipment.

The storage, maintenance, testing, and configuration control of the equipment will be in accordance with NEI 12-06, Section 11.0. PVNGS will use the standard EPRi industry preventative maintenance template for establishing the maintenance and testing actions :for FLEX components.

The administrative program will include maintenance guidance, testing procedures and frequencies established based on type of equipment and considerations made within the EPRI templates.

The unavailability of equipment and applicable connections that directly perform a FLEX mitigation strategy will be managed using plant equipment control guidelines developed in accordance with NEI 12-06, Section 11.5.The FLEX strategies and basis will be maintained in an overall program document.

Existing plant configuration control procedures will be modified to ensure that changes to the plant design, physical plant layout, roads, buildings, and miscellaneous structures will not adversely impact the approved FLEX strategies in accordance with NEI 12-06, Section 11.8.The Phase 2 and 3 FLEX equipment for ELAP will have unique identification labels.Describe Training Plan List training plans for affected organizations or describe the plan for training development New training of emergency response organization (ERO) and plant personnel involved in the implementation of FLEX mitigation strategies will be performed in 2014, prior to the Unit I (lead unit) implementation.

  • Describe how all requirements in NEI 12-06 are identified The industry will establish two (2) regional response centers (RRCs) 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, and the fifth set will have equipment in a maintenance cycle. Equipment will be moved from a RRC to a local offsite 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 the required equipment will be moved to the site as needed. The first piece of critical safety function equipment, as established during development of the nuclear site's playbook, will be delivered to the site within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of the initial request. PVNGS will execute and maintain a contract with the selected RRC vendor in accordance with the requirements of Section 12 of NEI 12-06.Notes: None Page 22 of 119 APS Overall Integrated Plan in Response to March 12, 2012 Commission Order Modifying Ucenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events Maintain Core Cooling and Heat Removal Determine Baseline coping capability with installed coping" modifications not including FLEX modifications, utilizing methods described in Table 3-2 of NEI 12-06:* AFW/EFW" Depressurize SG for Makeup with Portable Injection Source" Sustained Source of Water Ref: JLD-ISG-2012-01 Sections 2 and 3 Maintain Core Cooling and Heat Removal PWR Installed Equipment Phase 1 Provide a general description of the coping strategies using installed equipment including station modifications that are proposed to maintain core cooling. Identify methods (AFW/EF:W) and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.Core Cooling with Steam Generators Available (see Item 2 in Notes section)No modifications or changes to PVNGS are needed to cope during Phase 1 of the ELAP event.At the time of the postulated event, the reactor and supporting systems are within normal operating ranges for pressure, temperature, and water level for the plant conditions.

At the initiating event, the automatic plant systems, with the exception of AC sources, will respond as designed (assumption 26).Operators will enter existing PVNGS SBO emergency operating procedures (EOPs) (existing EOPs will be revised to refer to the FSG). The EOPs will direct the operators to take actions to confirm several responses including control rod insertion, closure of the main steam isolation valves (MSIVs), automatic start and operation of the TDAFWP taking suction from the CST, and actuation of the main steam safety valves (MSSVs). The EOPs will also direct action to isolate or confirm isolation of any RCS leakage paths and to start the SBOGs. The ELAP procedures will be entered when the SBO generator is confirmed to be unavailable and it is confirmed that offsite power cannot be restored by either communication with the load dispatcher or visual verification of physical damage to site infrastructure.

Once ELAP procedures are entered, operators will be directed to begin DC electrical load shedding.

Operators will also be directed to initiate an RCS cooldown to a hot stand-by temperature of approximately 350 degrees Fahrenheit (Tcold)through operation of the Atmospheric Dump Valves (ADVs). Control of these valves is available in the control room and is supported by existing nitrogen supplies (Reference 4). The rate of the cooldown is Coping modifications consist of modifications installed to increase initial coping time, i.e. generators to preserve vital instruments or increase operating time on battery powered equipment.

This cooldown will be incorporated into the PVNGS EOPs and site specific FSGs, Following cooldown, the SG pressure will be controlled at or above 135 psia to maintain the desired plant conditions.

The TDAFWP delivers CST inventory to the SGs and SG level is initially controlled within control bands of r 35 to 85 percent narrow range (Reference 5). The system alignment will draw water from the CST initially and can be aligned following CST depletion to take suction from the RMWT via local manual operator action. This realignment uses existing piping and procedures.

The TDAFWP and CST (part of the tank volume, 300,000 gallons) are currently qualified for seismic events (UFSAR, Reference 4). Further evaluations of the seismic fragility of the CST and RMWT have demonstrated that their full volume of 550,000 gallons and 480,000 gallons, respectively, are seismically robust and can be credited to support coping during ELAP per the requirements of NEI 12-06 (see Item 1 in Notes section).

The TDAFWP is capable of using both tanks as sources for SG makeup with installed piping allowing PVNGS to cope for 116 hours0.00134 days <br />0.0322 hours <br />1.917989e-4 weeks <br />4.4138e-5 months <br />. The AFW usage for that time is 6,117,320 Ibm or 762,677 gal (Reference 15). The secondary side walkdown contained in the FSG will confirm that the integrity of these tanks is maintained.

Contingency actions to provide makeup water from the RWT can be taken.PVNGS has identified that a loss of ventilation could adversely affect operation of the TDAFWP. Without ventilation, the TDAFWP room temperature will exceed 130°F within four (4) hours. PVNGS has determined that opening the access doors to the room within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> will limit the temperature to a maximum of 130°F, thereby maintaining pump availability (Reference 19). The FSG will require operator action to open TDAFWP room doors within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />.The PVNGS strategy uses one train of ADVs initially in the event. The other train ADV solenoids are de-energized during load shed (Reference 13). The ADVs are operated using DC powered solenoids and N2 bottles. As long as there is sufficient N2, the valves will be operated from the control room. Once the N2 inventory has depleted, Reference 13 provides instructions to manually operate the valves.Core Cooling with Steam Generators Not Available (see Item 2 in Notes section)Core cooling is maintained through once through heat removal from the RCS via coolant boil-off.Inventory is maintained in the vessel by ensuring adequate RCS inventory makeup from the RWT via gravity feed. Gravity feed functions based on the RWT fluid height, line losses through the gravity flow path, and developed pressure within the RCS. During this event, a hot leg vent will have been established such that a release path is available to support once through cooling via boil-off.

This action also results in the introduction of non-condensables into the RCS, which reduce or eliminate the ability to remove heat via the SGs. If a hot leg vent is not present, the SGs-will be available for core heat removal. In Mode 5 conditions where SGs are available, the heat up and pressurization of the system following ELAP will establish natural circulation cooling consistent with the SG available strategies.

Pressure is maintained sufficiently low in the RCS by ensuring that adequate venting is established prior to entering conditions Page 24 of 119 APS Overall Integrated Plan in Response to March 12, 2012 Commission Order Modifying Ucenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events Maintain Core Cooling and Heat Removal PWR Installed Equipment Phase 1 wherein SG cooling is not available as a part of shutdown risk management (Reference 20).Details: Provide a brief description of PVNGS Procedure 791S-9ZZ07 (Reference 13), "PVNGS Extended Loss of Procedures

Identify methods and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.Core Cooling with Steam Generators Available At PVNGS, the Phase I core cooling straiegy of SG injection from the TDAFWP taking suction from CST or RMWT can be maintained until these suction sources are exhausted or insufficient steam pressure is available at the TDAFWP turbine to support continued operation.

Given the quantity of water available in the CST and RMWT, makeup to the CST is deferred until Phase 3. The transition into Phase 2 is therefore required once the operating conditions of the TDAFWP can no longer be maintained.

As the event proceeds, the decay heat produced by the nuclear fuel will decrease, resulting in decreased heat transfer from the primary coolant to the SG and decreased steam flow from the SGs. Initially, ADVs will be closed to maintain SG pressure; however, eventually the steam flow required by the TDAWFP will exceed that being delivered by the SG and pressure will decrease, and as a result the steam output from the SG will decrease.Eventually, the steam output will not be sufficient to run the TDAFWP. Prior to loss of functionality of the TDAFWP, the FLEX SG makeup pump will be staged and placed in operation.

Phase 2 SG makeup to ensure core cooling will be provided by a portable diesel driven pump. This pump will take suction from the CST or RMWT, as the TDAWFP does in Phase 1. The FLEX suction connection provides the capability to take suction from either tank as a source of makeup to the SGs. The discharge will be into the AFW lines downstream of the containment isolation valves.Core Cooling with Steam Generators Not Available In Mode 5 and Mode 6 with SGs not available, the Phase 1 core cooling method will continue until the Phase 2 core cooling method is placed in service. Phase 2 core cooling is maintained with once through heat removal with makeup provided to the RCS via the FLEX pump with borated coolant. Sufficient coolant is provided to match boil-off rates. Flushing flow is initiated (flow rate is increased beyond the steaming rate)prior to reaching the boron precipitation limit. Per Westinghouse Report TR-FSE-13-6 (Reference 15), Section 5, a steaming rate of approximately 115 gpm is expected at 37 hours4.282407e-4 days <br />0.0103 hours <br />6.117725e-5 weeks <br />1.40785e-5 months <br /> post-event for the Mode 5 condition.

At this time, a total flushing flow rate of 127 gpm (steaming rate with a 10% factor added to areclude significant precipitation of boric acid in the vessel) would be established to ensure adequate boron lushing.Details: vide a brief description of PVNGS Procedure 791S-9ZZ07 (Reference 13), "PVNGS Extended Loss of All.edures / Strategies/

RCS inventory control and subcriticality issues for conditions where steam generators are not available are addressed in the maintain core cooling section of this report (See Item 1 in Notes section).Two functions are lost during an ELAP which challenge the ability of the RCS to maintain inventory:

inventory makeup and RCP seal cooling.Without RCP seal cooling, the PVNGS RCP seals are expected to deteriorate such that a leak path develops from the RCS. A function of FLEX is to establish a means of RCS makeup; however, until that can be done, the system's ability to cope was analyzed (Reference 5).Plant personnel will cool down the RCS to approximately 350OF as specified in the SBO EOP (Reference 16)and the FSGs (Reference 13). Cooling down and depressurizing the RCS allows the safety injection tanks (SITs) to inject. Also, at this time, a steam bubble will begin to form in the reactor vessel head.PVNGS RCP seals are assumed to have a maximum leakage of 17 gpm per pump at normal operating pressure (Reference 21, Case 1). The assumed RCS leakage through the RCP seals is made up through injection of SIT inventory.

2 Coping modifications consist of modifications installed to increase initial coping time, i.e. generators to preserve vital instruments or increase operating time on battery powered equipment.

Identify methods (Low Leak RCP Seals and/or borated high pressure RCS makeup) and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.This section addresses RCS inventory control and subcriticality issues for conditions where steam generators are available.

RCS inventory control and subcriticality issues, for conditions where steam generators are not available are addressed in the core cooling section of this report.The Phase 2 activities for RCS inventory control involve alignment of a pump to provide borated water for RCS makeup and to maintain RCS inventory; and are summarized in Reference 15, Section 8.2. Core reactivity is maintained by control rods and RCS boron inventory.

PVNGS control rod shutdown margin and borated water inventory in the RCS and SITs are sufficient to prevent recriticality of the core.In Phase 1 the RCS credits makeup from the SITs for leakage and shrinkage due to cooldown.

The transition to Phase 2 strategies is needed before the SIT inventory is completely depleted.

Once RCS makeup has been established, SIT N 2 overpressure should be vented to prevent N 2 injection into the RCS.The preferred strategy will repower the installed charging pump once 480 VAC power is available.

If the installed pump cannot be used, portable FLEX equipment will be deployed.The primary and alternate FLEX strategies will use an electric positive displacement (PD) pump and new piping connecting to the high pressure safety injection (HPSI) system. Suction will be from the RWT.The primary strategy will include staging a pump outside the west side of the Auxiliary Building.

The RWT will be used as its primary suction source connecting to a drain valve at grade level off of the RWT. From below the staging area, in the essential pipe tunnel, hard piping will run into the Auxiliary Building and connect to the HPSI system as shown in Figure 3-8.The suggested pipe routing starts at the staging area in the plant west yard, penetrates the grade into the 88 ft pipe tunnel, and then heads east into the Auxiliary Building 88 ft pipe chase and heads for the west containment pipe wrap.The alternate connection point staging area will be located inside the rollup door on the east side of the Auxiliary Building on the 100 ft elevation.

The connection will take suction from the RWT using chemical and volume control system (CVCS) piping. The discharge will be to the HPSI system.

Identify methods (makeup via portable injection source) and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.The PVNGS SFP conditions were analyzed for a number of postulated scenarios for the ELAP event. The scenario with ELAP following a seismic event (summarized in Reference

15) was found to be the limiting case due to higher SFP inventory losses. The event conditions considered that would affect time to boil are:* SFP decay heat during Mode 1 to Mode 6 with core not off-loaded
  • SFP decay heat following full core offload The flow rates to makeup for SFP boil-off were determined using the decay heat load from the spent fuel assemblies in the SFP storage racks. There are two conditions analyzed for the SFP decay heat load: normal operation and the worst case scenario which is defined as a full core offload beginning 100 hours0.00116 days <br />0.0278 hours <br />1.653439e-4 weeks <br />3.805e-5 months <br /> after shutdown plus 964 fuel assemblies from the 12 previous refueling cycles (Reference 4). Table 4.6:2-1 from Reference 4 shows the decay heat loads for the normal and worst case scenarios.

The time to boil calculations are determined based on the site elevation and an assumed SFP coolant bulk temperature of 125 F (Reference 4). Additionally, the calculations assume loss of SFP inventory resulting from seismic sloshing, loss of non seismically qualified piping entering the pool and system leakage.In a postulated ELAP, the required SFP makeup flow rate to match the boil-off for the Mode 1- 6 with core not off-loaded case is 27 gpm and the SFP makeup flow rate for the full core offload case is 100 gpm (Reference 15).The inventory loss resulting from system leakage and pool gate seal leakage is estimated to be 31 gpm (assuming leakage through the fuel transfer canal gate and fuel transfer tube containment isolation valve 4 Coping modifications consist of modifications installed to increase initial coping time, i.e. generators to preserve vital instruments or increase operating time on battery powered equipment.

Therefore, SFP makeup flow rate requirement to maintain adequate SFP level (10 ft above the fuel) is 58 gpm for the Mode 1- 6 with core not off-loaded case and 131 gpm for the full care offload case.Diesel driven pumps will be used to deliver the required flow rate through monitor type nozzles to provide water to the spent fuel pool.In Phase 1, action is taken to open the Fuel Building rollup door to maintain accessibility to the alternate SFP makeup pump location which will be used in Phase 2.In the event of a postulated ELAP with maximum SFP heat loads due to a full core offload, the time to boil is reduced.

In a postulated ELAP, the required SFP makeup flow rate to match the boil-off for the Mode 1- 6 with core not off-loaded case is 27 gpm and the SFP makeup flow rate for the full core offload case is 100 gpm (Reference 15).The inventory loss resulting from system leakage and pool gate seal leakage is estimated to be 31 gpm (assuming leakage through the fuel transfer canal gate and fuel transfer tube containment isolation valve PC-V118).

Therefore, SFP makeup flow rate requirement to maintain adequate SFP level (10 ft above the fuel) is 58 gpm for the Mode 1- 6 with core not off-loaded case and 131 gpm for the full core offload case.Diesel driven pumps will be selected to deliver the required flow rate through monitor type nozzles to provide water to the spent fuel pool.In the event of a postulated ELAP with maximum SFP heat loads due to a full core offload, the time to boil is reduced.

I, Safety Functions Support PWR Installed Equipment Phase 1 Provide a general description of the coping strategies using installed equipment including station modifications that are proposed to maintain and/or support safety functions.

Identify methods and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve coping times.During Phase 1, PVNGS requires vital instrumentation power to cope with an ELAP and LUHS. Vital instrumentation is powered from the 125V DC Class 1E power system.The 125V DC Class 1E power system (PK) batteries are lead-acid and consist of four Trains: A, B, C, and D.Each train consists of a battery charger, battery, DC bus, inverter, and respective vital loads.The battery coping time with no load shedding is 13 hours1.50463e-4 days <br />0.00361 hours <br />2.149471e-5 weeks <br />4.9465e-6 months <br />.

Identify methods and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve coping times.The critical electrical equipment required during Phase 2 is vital instrumentation, battery chargers, FLEX RCS makeup pumps, installed charging pumps, ventilation, and lighting.

Energizing these loads will be accomplished using two 480V FLEX generators connected to either train of the Class 1E 480V switchgear and alignment of the required equipment in that train. If required, portable generators with portable light stands or light strings will be used for lighting the control room.Eight 500kW FLEX generators, as required for N+1, will be stored onsite. Twenty eight hours after the ELAP, two FLEX generators will be deployed to the staging area south of the diesel building (see Figures 3-16 and 3-18). Although the storage area is not yet determined, the expected deployment path is shown in Figure 3-17. FLEX generators will be trailer mounted for ease of deployment.

A set of FLEX cables will be stored with each generator and will be either deployed on the generator trailer or on a separate cart. These cables provide a positive locking mechanism to ensure a tight waterproof connection.

Phase rotation will be verified during installation.

Each FLEX generator will be grounded via a flexible cable to a ground test well which will provide an accessible ground in the staging area that will not affect traffic.The FLEX generators will be connected to the Class 1E 480V load centers via FLEX connection junction boxes.Two boxes will be mounted on the south wall of the control building to support the primary connection.

See Figure 3-19 for an overview of the primary strategy.

Two boxes will be mounted on the east wall of the diesel building to support the alternate connection.

See Figure 3-23 for an overview of the alternate strategy.

Both 480V strategies will be designed to be available for BDBEE, as defined in Study 13-NS-A108.RO00 (Reference 12), although Train B may have limited access after a seismic event due its close proximity to a non seismic structure.

The primary strategy is to repower the 480V Class 1E load centers on Train A (L31, L33, and L35, respective Figures 3-20, 3-21, and 3-22). Repowering these load centers will allow PVNGS to repower the vital battery chargers A and C, thus allowing for indefinite vital battery coping time. Prior to energizing the FLEX generators, breakers in load centers L31, L33 and L35 must be opened (approximately 30 breakers).

Breakers in the motor control centers (MCCs) M31, M33, M35, M37 and M71 must be opened also (approximately 120 breakers).

This will isolate loads so the FLEX generators do not fail because of overload.When the FLEX generators are running, then the 12 loads identified in Table 1 can be systematically energized, Guidance for aligning the system will be included in procedure 791S-9ZZ07 (Reference 13),"PVNGS Extended Loss of All Site AC Guideline." Page 52 of 119 APS Overall Integrated Plan in Response to March 12, 2012 Commission Order Modifying Ucenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events Safety Functions Support PWR Portable Equipment Phase 2 If the installed charging pumps are not operational, the primary FLEX strategy for energizing the FLEX RCS pumps is to energize MCC M33 from load center L33 (Figure 3-35). The pumps will be connected to a FLEX junction box located outdoors near the RWT. Power will be provided from spare breakers in MCC M33.The alternate strategy is to repower the 480V Class 1E load centers on Train B (L32, L34, and 136).Repowering these load centers will allow PVNGS to repower the vital battery chargers B and D, thus allowing for indefinite vital battery coping time. Prior to energizing the FLEX generators, breakers in load centers L32, L34 and L36 must be opened (approximately 30 breakers).

Breakers in MCCs M32, M34, M36, and M72 also must be opened (approximately 90 breakers).

This will isolate the affected loads so the FLEX generators do not fail because of overload.

When the FLEX generators are running, then the loads identified in Table 1 below can be systematically energized.

Guidance for aligning the system will be included in procedure 791S-9ZZ07, "PVNGS Extended Loss of All Site AC Guideline." If the installed charging pumps are not operational, the alternate FLEX strategy for energizing the FLEX RCS pump(s) is to energize the circuit feeding the swing charging pump 1M-CHE-P01 located in the Auxiliary Building.

This pump is fed from load center L36, breaker C2. A double throw switch to be installed in the circuit will redirect power to the FLEX pump(s) during an ELAP.Table 1: Installed Loads Credited in Phase 2 Train A Train B Load L31 L32 QBA/B-V01/2 (25kVA) Control Room Emergency Lighting L31 L32 PKC/D-H 13/H114 (58kVA) "C/D" Battery Charger L31 L32 HJA/B-J01A/B (lhp) "A/B" Battery Room Exhaust Fan L31 L32 HJA/B-J01B/A (lhp) "C/D" Battery Room Exhaust Fan L33 L34 QFN-X04 (2SkVA) In Plant Communication L33 L34 HFA/B-J01 (40hp) Fuel and Auxiliary Building Air Recirculation L35 L36 PKA/B-H11/12 (80/92kVA) "A/B" Battery Charger L35 L36 CHE-P01 (100hp) Swing Charging Pump "E" *L35 L36 QBN-D91/D90 (160 kW) Essential Lighting Control Room, Auxiliary and Radwaste Building L35 L36 HJA/B-F04 (125hp) Control Room Air Recirculation

  • Charging pump A or B could also be used instead of the swing charging pump.The 480V FLEX generators must be deployed and operational at T+34 hours. Deploying the FLEX generators from storage to the staging area, connecting the FLEX generators to the FLEX junction boxes, and aligning the system to the required loads will take four people roughly six hours. To ensure that 480V power is restored at T+34 hours, FLEX generator deployment will begin no later than T+24 hours.

Once deployed to the staging area, the FLEX generators will be fueled with a gravity-fed hose from either of the two safety-related diesel day tanks located in the nearby diesel building.

Each tank in the diesel building has a capacity of 1100 gallons and a Technical Specification minimum volume of 550 gallons. Each FLEX generator will be filled with 250 gallons using the 550 gallons from one tank and leaving the other full if the installed Class 1E generators are recovered.

The FLEX generators will consume 36 gal/hr of fuel at 100 percent load; therefore, 250 gallons will last approximately 7 hours8.101852e-5 days <br />0.00194 hours <br />1.157407e-5 weeks <br />2.6635e-6 months <br /> before refueling.

Refer to Figures 3-23 and 3-24 for the intended path of the cable/conduit routing along with an approximate location of the junction boxes and FLEX generators.

Primary and Alternate Power Supply for FLEX RCS Makeup Pumps One 50 hp motor driven FLEX RCS makeup pump is required to support the RCS makeup strategy.

The required pump can be installed in either of two locations.

The primary location is outside adjacent to the RWT (Figures 3-32 and 3-33) and the secondary location is on the 100' elevation of the auxiliary building (Figure 3-36).Each FLEX RCS makeup pump staging location will be provided with both a primary and alternate source of power via two new junction boxes with quick connect features for motor hookup. Power from the 480V FLEX generators described above will be provided to the new junction boxes at each location.

One junction box will be supplied from Train A electrical distribution equipment and the other junction box supplied from Train B.Cable routing distances to the four pump junction boxes will be minimized through use of the MCCs nearest to each pump location, as shown in Figures 3-27 and 3-35.Key Parameters DC bus voltage is required to be monitored in order to ensure that the DC bus voltage remains above the minimum voltage.Storage / Protection of Equipment:

The high wind and extreme cold hazards are not applicable to PVNGS. Extreme heat is not expected to affect the functionality of the connections.

Notes: Refer to the modification discussion under the section for "Maintain Core Cooling and Heat Removal" on page 29.Page 58 of 119 APS Overall Integrated Plan In Response to March 12, 2012 Commission Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events Safety Functions Support PWR Portable Equipment Phase 3 Provide a general description of the coping strategies using phase 3 equipment including modifications that are proposed to maintain and/or support safety functions.

Identify methods and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve coping times.Early in the FLEX implementation, the site will notify the RRC and request equipment.

The medium voltage (MV) 4.16kV FLEX generator is expected to arrive onsite between 24 and 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> into the ELAP. When the generator and enough personnel are available on site, one train of the Class 1E, 4.16kV switchgear will be energized.

The MV FLEX generator will be deployed to the same staging area as the 480V FLEX generators just south of the diesel building as shown in Figures 3-16 and 3-24. The deployment path is shown in Figure 3-17 and is the same path used for the 480V FLEX generators.

Four mobile generator connection panels/junction boxes and foutr sets of FLEX cables (N+1) will be stored in the same location as the 480V equipment.

To allow generators from the RRC to be used at all sites in the region, the generator is supplied with bus bar connections.

To make FLEX connections, the mobile generator connection panel/junction box will be placed near the generator and jumper cables installed from the generator bus bars to the mobile FLEX connection panel/junction box.The FLEX cables provide a positive locking mechanism to ensure a tight waterproof connection.

Phase rotation will be verified during installation.

Using one conductor per phase instead of bundled cables reduces weight and eases deployment.

The MV FLEX generator will be connected to the Class 1E 4.16kV switchgear via an installed FLEX junction box mounted outside on either the west or east wall of the diesel building as shown in Figure 3-39 and Figure 3-41. Train A switchgear will be energized via a new breaker installed in a new section of Train A switchgear (see Figure 3-40) and Train B switchgear will be energized through an existing spare breaker.The same ground test wells to be used for the 480V FLEX generator can also be used as an equipment ground for the 4.16kV FLEX generator.

The approximate location of the ground test wells can be found on Figures 3-19 and 3-23.The primary strategy to repower the 4.16kV system is to power the Class 1E switchgear on Train A (1E-PBA-S03). To align Train A and the MV FLEX generator, breakers must be opened on 1E-PBA-S03 (14 breakers)This will isolate loads so the FLEX generator does not fail because of overload.

After the FLEX generator is running, breaker S03U (new breaker) is closed to energize the 4.16kV bus. Then breakers S03F, S03M, and S03C are closed to energize pumps or systems The alternate strategy to repower the 4.16kV system is to power the Class 1E switchgear on Train B (1E-PBB-S04).

To align Train B and the MV FLEX generator, breakers must be opened on 1E-PBB-S04 (14 Page 59 of 119 APS Overall Integrated Plan in Response to March 12, 2012 Commission Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events Safety Functions Support PWR Portable Equipment Phase 3 breakers).

This will isolate loads so the FLEX generator does not fail because of overload.

After the FLEX generator is running, breaker S04P is closed to energize the 4.16kV bus. Then breakers-S04F, S04M, and S04C are closed to energize pumps and needed systems.New breaker connections to the 4.16kV Train A and Train B switchgear will be maintained in the open position during normal operation thus isolating the switchgear from the FLEX connections.

Both MV strategies will be designed to be available for applicable NEI 12-06 BDBEEs.The MV FLEX generator deployment is not time critical.Details: Provide a brief description of PVNGS Procedure 791S-9ZZ07 (Reference 13), "PVNGS Extended Loss of All Procedures

/ Strategies/

Site AC Guideline," is being developed to support this event.Guidelines Identify modifications To facilitate MV FLEX generator connections, a seismic, Class 1E primary and alternate FLEX connection panel will be installed and permanently connected to the 4160V Class 1E switchgear.

Train A switchgear S03 does not have a spare breaker so a new vertical section will be installed.

The primary FLEX connection panel will be installed on the west wall of the diesel building.

To accommodate the required connection, these panels will be approximately 72 x 38 x 24 inches. Adequate space is available on the west wall of the diesel building.Refer to figure 3-41.Train B switchgear S04 has a spare at SO4P. The primary FLEX connection panel will be installed on the east wall of the diesel building.

To accommodate the required connection, these panels will be approximately 72 x 38 x 24 inches. Adequate space is available on the west wall of the diesel building.Overcurrent protective relays in the spare cubicle provide adequate protective functions.

New relays will be included with the vertical section to be added to S03. Relay settings will be calculated as part of the detailed design.Page 60 of 119 APS Overall Integrated Plan in Response to March 12,2012 Commission Order Modifying Ucenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events Safety Functions Support PWR Portable Equipment Phase 3 7 New circuits will be installed in the switchgear rooms from the switchgear to the FLEX connection panels. Each circuit will consist of three-phase conductors and one ground conductor.

The raceway supports and FLEX connection panels will be seismically rated in accordance with PVNGS standard requirements.

All terminations will be made in accordance with the station standard procedures and specifications.

The exact routing of the cable tray will be completed during the detailed design phase.The ground test well installed for the 480V FLEX generator can support both FLEX generators; therefore no additional ground well will be installed.

Key Parameters List instrumentation credited or recovered for this coping evaluation.

No instrumentation is required to support the electrical coping strategies.
