Update to Unit 1 Seismic Walkdown Report Attachment 5a Contains Security-Sensitive Information
-Withhold From Public Disclosure under 10CFR 2.390(d)(1)(Upon removal of Attachment 5a from Enclosure la, the Enclosure is uncontrolled)
Enclosure la Update to Unit 1 Seismic Walkdown Report Executive Summary Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Report 1025286, Seismic Walkdown Guidance for Resolution of Fukushima Near-Term Task Force Recommendation 2.3: Seismic was issued in June 2012. This Document provides guidance and procedures to perform seismic walkdowns as required by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) 50.54(f) letter regarding Near-Term Task Force (NTTF) Recommendation 2.3: Seismic. The EPRI guidance covers selection of personnel; selection of a sample of structures, systems, and components (SSCs) that represent diversity of component types and assures inclusion of components from critical systems / functions; conduct of the walkdowns; evaluation of potentially adverse conditions against the plant seismic licensing basis; and reporting requirements.
It also includes check lists to be used by the Seismic Walkdown Engineers (SWEs) in performing the seismic walkdowns and walk-bys.
Duke Energy committed to implement resolution of Near-Term Task Force (NTTF) Recommendation 2.3: Seismic using EPRI Report 1025286 in a letter to the NRC dated 7/9/2012.[ONS made a previous submittal, dated November 27, 2012, which documented the walkdown results for accessible components, designated as Enclosure I to the November submittal.
This is an update to Enclosure I (designated as Enclosure Ia) which will address the inaccessible components.
This additional data completes the ONS Unit lwalkdown scope.* This update provides the following:A revision of the original report (changes indicated by bracketed and italicized text)" New walkdown data related to the inaccessible scope -Attachment 5a to Enclosure la (this supplements Attachment 5 to Enclosure I from the November submittal)" Documentation of the PEER review of the new walkdown data -Attachment 6a to Enclosure la (this supplements Attachment 6 to Enclosure 1 from the November submittal)]
- 1. Seismic Licensing Basis The seismic design basis for SSCs at Oconee nuclear station are defined in Section 3.7 of the UFSAR. Due to the vintage of Oconee nuclear station, some seismic terminology is not consistent with current terminology.
The Operating Basis earthquake (OBE) is also referred to as the Design Basis earthquake (DBE) and the Safe Shutdown earthquake (SSE) is also referred to as the Maximum Hypothetical Earthquake (MHE).1.1. Response Spectra The seismic spectrum response curves for Oconee were generated by the time history technique of seismic analysis.
The sample earthquake utilized is that recorded at El Centro, California, N-S, May 18, 1940. The Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) for the Design Basis earthquake (DBE) is 0.05g. The PGA for the Maximum Hypothetical earthquake (MHE) for Class 1 Structures founded on rock is 0.1g. The PGA for the Maximum Hypothetical Earthquake (MHE) for Class 1 Structures founded on overburden is 0.15g.Attachment 5a Contains Security-Sensitive Information

Page 2 of 16 Enclosure la Update to Unit 1 Seismic Walkdown Report 1.2. Seismic Qualification 1.2.1. Seismic Qualification of Safety-Related Mechanical Equipment When the response spectra at each elevation in the building have been determined, the g-loadings imposed on a component may then be determined.
These loads are evaluated by the equipment supplier and in the case of complex components such as heat exchangers, the design calculations performed by the supplier are reviewed by B&W Engineering or Duke Energy, as applicable.
The supplier has the freedom to use either of two alternate analytical methods to evaluate the equipment or he may choose to test it. Components maybe tested by either shaker or impact tests or a certification of the test results are required.
In a few cases, a manufacturer's certification that the equipment would withstand seismic conditions is acceptable based on tests of similar equipment, an example of this would be similar type pumps. Analytically the evaluation can be made by calculating the natural frequency of the component, entering the appropriate damping curve and determining the amplification factor from the response spectrum curve. The equipment is then evaluated using these g-loadings.
As an alternative, the component may be evaluated without calculating the natural frequency by using the peak amplification factor from the appropriate damping curve to determine the equipment loads. This latter approach is conservative.
Special attention is given to foundation and nozzle loadings for equipment such as tanks, pumps, heat exchangers, demineralizers and filters. Loads imposed by connecting piping on a given component are included and in some cases, component nozzles have had to be reinforced to accommodate these loads. Components which are most likely to require special reinforcement due to seismic loads, are long, horizontal, saddle mounted tanks, vertical tanks, mounted on legs, and stacked heat exchangers.
These have all been evaluated and appropriately designed for the seismic conditions.
An alternate method of seismic qualification for mechanical equipment (within the applicable equipment classes) would be an experience based approach.
Seismic adequacy can be established using methods described in the Generic Implementation Procedure (GIP) for Seismic Verification of Nuclear Plant Equipment, Revision 3A, developed by the Seismic Qualification Utility Group (SQUG). This method is also commonly known as SQUG.1.2.2. Seismic Qualification of Safety-Related Electrical Equipment The seismic design basis for instrumentation and electrical equipment is that the electrical devices considered essential in performing Reactor Protection and Engineered Safeguards functions and in providing emergency power shall be designed to assure that they will not lose their capability to perform intended safety functions during and following the Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE). This basic criterion has remained unchanged since the issuance of the operating license; however, the seismic qualification techniques and documentation requirements for various plant modifications have in many instances followed the advances in the state of the art.The seismic adequacy of all electrical cable tray supports is established by the methods and criteria established for cable tray supports in the Generic Implementation Procedure (GIP-3A) for Seismic Verification of Nuclear Plant Equipment, Rev 3A, developed by the Seismic Qualification Utility Group (SQUG).In order to meet the seismic design objectives defined in UFSAR Section 3.10.1, the following seismic evaluation methods were employed consistent with the applicable licensing commitment.

Page 3 of 16 Enclosure la Update to Unit 1 Seismic Walkdown Report Devices may be qualified by either shaker or impact tests. A certification of the test results or copies of the test results are required.
Additionally, a manufacturer's certification that a certain type of equipment would withstand the seismic conditions is acceptable based on previous testing/experience with similar equipment.
Analysis Devices may also be qualified by analytical methods. For example, one evaluation method involves calculating/determining the natural frequency of the device, entering the appropriate response spectra damping curves, and determining the corresponding amplification factor. The device is then evaluated using this "g" loading value.Alternatively, the devices may be evaluated without calculating/determining its natural frequency by using the peak amplification factor from the appropriate response spectra damping curve to determine the "g" loading.An alternate method of seismic qualification for electrical equipment (within the applicable equipment classes) would be an experience based approach.
Seismic adequacy can be established using methods described in the Generic Implementation Procedure (GIP) for Seismic Verification of Nuclear Plant Equipment, Revision 3A, developed by the Seismic Qualification Utility Group (SQUG). This method is also commonly known as SQUG.1.3. Response to generic letter 87-02 Generic Letter 87-02, "Verification of Seismic Adequacy of Mechanical and Electrical Equipment in Operating Reactors, Unresolved Safety Issue (USI) A-46," was issued because the NRC concluded that the seismic adequacy of certain equipment in operating plants must be reviewed against seismic criteria developed during the resolution of Unresolved Safety Issue (USI) A-46.The NRC determined that it is not feasible to require older operating plants to meet new licensing requirements that were not in use when plants were licensed.
Therefore, an alternative method was selected to verify the seismic capability of equipment.
This alternative method used a compilation of existing earthquake experience data supplemented by test data as the basis to verify the seismic capability of equipment.
Generic Letter 87-02 allowed the seismic verification to be accomplished by utilities through a generic program, and the Seismic Qualification Utility Group (SQUG) was formed. The SQUG developed a Generic Implementation Procedure (GIP) that documents the seismic verification process, procedures, and methodologies for verifying the seismic qualification of equipment and resolving USI A-46. Supplement 1 of Generic Letter 87-02 endorsed use of the GIP for the seismic qualification process and contained revised licensee actions. Oconee performed the seismic qualification process in accordance with the NRC enforced version of the GIP. In a Safety Evaluation Report, the NRC concluded that Oconee met the purpose and intent of the seismic qualification process and that the corrective actions and modifications provide sufficient basis to close the USI A-46 review at Oconee.The seismic verification process is considered part of the seismic licensing basis for Oconee, so the seismic qualification criteria developed by the SQUG in response to Generic Letter 87-02 must be considered during mechanical and electrical equipment modifications Attachment 5a Contains Security-Sensitive Information

Page 6 of 16 Enclosure la Update to Unit 1 Seismic Walkdown Report 3. Selection of SSCs The Oconee Unit 1 SWEL-1 and SWEL-2 equipment selection was performed in accordance with the EPRI guidance outlined in EPRI Technical Report #1025286.
SWEL-1 represents a sample of items to safely shut down the reactor and maintain containment integrity.
SWEL-2 represents spent fuel pool related items.The Oconee USI A-46/IPEEE Safe Shutdown Equipment List (SSEL) was used as the basis for the Base-1 equipment list. The scope of the Seismic Walkdown Equipment List (SWEL) is limited to SSCs that are classified as Seismic Category I. This is done such that items have a defined seismic licensing basis against which to evaluate the as-installed configuration.
Oconee is a USI A-46 plant. The purpose of the USI A-46 program was to verify the seismic adequacy of essential equipment in older operating plants that had not been qualified in accordance with more recent criteria.
Many of the SSC's listed in the USI A-46/IPEEE Safe Shut down Equipment List (SSEL) are not category I. However, Oconee programmatically maintains the seismic capability of these components.
Therefore, for the purpose of developing the SWEL all USI A-46/IPEEE components are considered to have a seismic licensing basis.The A-46/IPEEE SSEL effectively represents the output of EPRI guidance equipment Screening criteria's
- 1, #2 and #3. The underlying data used to generate the Base-1 list is contained in an ACCESS database.
This ACCESS database was used to generate the Base-1 Equipment List from which the SWEL-1 was selected.
The equipment comprising the Base-1 equipment list is contained in Attachment
- 1. Their individual Safety Function is identified as shown below. Some components support more than one safety function.A. Reactor reactivity control B. Reactor coolant pressure control C. Reactor coolant inventory control D. Decay heat removal E. Containment function The Base-1 Equipment List is comprised of 2264 components from Oconee Units 1, 2 & 3 &components that support all 3 Units (Common).
The Base-1 Equipment list is contained in Attachment 1.3.1. SWEL-1 Development EPRI TN- 025286 specifies that the SWEL-1 should be comprised of between 90-120 components and that each unit should have its own individual SWEL-I.357 of the Base-1 components are Common components that support all 3 units. In order to account for these common components, -10% (39 items) of the base-1 common components were selected as SWEL-1 components.
All of the 39 common components are considered to be part of each individual unit's SWEL-1.The Unit 1 SWEL-1 consists of 131 components.
Of these 131 components, 39 are common components which are also represented in each individual unit's SWEL-1. Attachment 2 contains the SWEL-1 components for Unit 1. The criteria for selection of equipment to be included in the SWEL are described in EPRI TN-1025286 section 3.Attachment 5a Contains Security-Sensitive Information

Page 7 of 16 Enclosure la Update to Unit 1 Seismic Walkdown Report Screen #4 -- Sample Considerations
-Five sample selection attributes that should be represented in SWEL 1:* A variety of types of systems" Major new and replacement equipment" A variety of types of equipment" A variety of environments" Equipment enhanced due to vulnerabilities identified during the IPEEE program In addition to the five sample considerations listed above, the equipment selected for the SWEL-1 should include considerations of the contribution to Risk for the SSC's and should also include a review by appropriate Operations personnel.
SWEL-1 Systems -The SWEL-1 equipment list represents 26 systems associated with the 5 safety functions.
SWEL-1 Types of Equipment
-The SWEL-1 list contains representative equipment from all equipment classes with the following exceptions: " There are no equipment Class 11 (Chillers), Class 12 (Air Compressors), or Class 13 (Motor -Generators) components on the Unit 1 SWEL-1 list because they are not represented in the Base-1 list.* There are no equipment Class 17 (Engine -Generators) components on the Unit 1 SWEL-1. The Standby Shutdown Facility (SSF) Diesel Engine (16 Cylinder)(OSSFDEOOOA) is listed on the Base-1 list. However, it was not selected as part of the SWEL-1 due to its inherently robust nature and the very low seismic input at its location.SWEL-1 Equipment locations
-The SWEL-1 equipment list includes equipment located in a broad variety of areas and environments.
These areas comprise multiple buildings and elevations and include equipment located both inside and outside. The equipment areas provide a broad range of equipment environmental conditions, which include:* Mild environmental conditions with limited temperature and humidity variations (e.g.Control Room, Cable Rooms, Equipment Rooms, SSF Electrical Room, Relay House, etc.)" Moderate environmental conditions (e.g. general areas of the Auxiliary Building, East &West Penetration Rooms, SSF Diesel Room, SSF Battery Room, Control Room Ventilation Rooms, etc.)* Moderate to harsh environmental conditions (e.g. LPI/BS/HPI Pump Rooms, LPI Cooler Room, etc.)" Harsh environmental conditions (e.g. Inside RB Containment, etc.)." Partial exposure to outdoor environmental conditions (e.g. Switchyard, Intake Structure)" Wet environments (Keowee Turbine Wheel Pit)Attachment 5a Contains Security-Sensitive Information

SWEL-1 Risk Considerations
-EPRI TN-1 025286 requires that the development of SWEL 1 should include consideration of the importance of the contribution to risk for the SSCs.In response to IPEEE, Oconee utilized the results of seismic margin methodology walkdowns to enhance the existing seismic PRA. These results are documented in OSC-1 0225 "Seismic PRA/IPEEE Backup Calculations" and summarized in the Supplemental IPEEE submittal Report. From the conclusions presented in the Supplemental IPEEE submittal Report, PRA sequences involving loss of power and SSF response make up several of the most dominate PRA cut sets. SSC's supporting Keowee, the SSF, and the 230 KV switchyard are well represented in the SWEL-1.In addition, input was obtained from the General Office PRA group to determine a ranking of the most seismically risk significant components.
Of the 31 unscreened PRA events with a contribution to CDF of greater than 0%, 19 are represented in the combined SWEL-I's for Units 1, 2 & 3. This represents 61% of PRA risk significant components and meets then intent of EPRI TN-1025286.
SWEL-1 Operations review -The SWEL-1 equipment listed was submitted to Oconee Operations for review as recommended within EPRI TN-1025286.
Operations concurred with the equipment listed on the SWEL-1 list. The SWEL-2 equipment list was developed within the Oconee Engineering organization by a highly experienced engineer who had previously held a Senior Reactor Operators License (SRO) and was previously an Operations Shift Technical Advisor (STA).Attachment 5a Contains Security-Sensitive Information

Page 10 of 16 Enclosure la Update to Unit 1 Seismic Walkdown Report 3.2. SWEL-2 Development The Oconee Unit 1 SWEL-2 spent fuel pool equipment list was developed in accordance with the EPRI guidance.
Seismic Category I structures, piping, and containment penetrations were specifically excluded by the EPRI guidance.
The four screening criteria specified were as follows: 1) Seismic Category I or USI A-46 (SQUG) licensing bases, 2) Spent Fuel Pool (SFP) equipment appropriate for an equipment walkdown process, 3) Sample considerations represent broad population of equipment with considered sample selection attributes such as: a. represent a variety of systems, b. major new/replacement equipment, c. variety of equipment types, d. variety of environments
- 4) Equipment which could result in rapid drain down of the SFP (includes both seismic and non-seismic components and similar factors outlined in 3) above.The SWEL-2 equipment Base-2 (Attachment
- 3) was established based on screens #1 and#2 above. Equipment was selected from the Base-2 list based on screening criteria #3 above, and primarily included major equipment such as the spent fuel cooling system pumps, pump motor air handling units, and heat-exchangers.
The SWEL-2 list was further evaluated based on screening criteria #4 above, to include equipment which could result in SFP rapid drain-down, as defined by the EPRI guidance.All three Oconee Unit's have SF Pool transfer tubes that open to the SF Pool in normal operation.
The SSF RC Make-up and letdown lines penetrate into the SF Pool transfer tubes. The SSF Make-up and Letdown lines meet Seismic Category 1. There were also SF Pool discharge lines at valves SF22&50 and 3SF-22&50 that could meet the criteria for a rapid drain down due to a siphon if the SF Cooling pump discharge piping, which meets Seismic Category 1, were to fail outside the SF Pool. However, this vulnerability had previously been identified and procedure requirements prevent system alignment and thereby remove this vulnerability.
For these reasons, there are no rapid draw down items on the SWEL-2.The SWEL-2 components were selected based on their radiological accessibility.
Of the 3 pumps identified in the SWEL-2 base list, 2 were included in the SWEL-2. Of the 7 Tanks identified in the SWEL-2 base list, 4 were included in the SWEL-2. This sampling is in accordance with EPRI TN-1025286.
The final SWEL-2 list is provided in Attachment 4.4. Seismic Walkdowns and Area Walk-Bys[Duke Energy contracted with the Shaw Group IARES Corporation team to perform the majority of the NTTF 2.3 seismic walkdowns at Oconee Nuclear Station. A summary report of their walkdowns along with the individual Seismic Walkdown Checklists (SWCs) and the Area Walk-By Checklists (AWCs) was designated as Attachment 5 to Enclosure 1.Duke Energy personnel have completed the walkdowns of the Unit I and common items found to be inaccessible during the initial walkdowns.

Licensing Basis Evaluations A total of 17 potential adverse conditions were identified per the Seismic Walkdowns and the Area walk-bys.
All of these potential issues were entered into the Corrective Action Program (CAP). All potential adverse conditions were evaluated for their compliance with the seismic licensing basis within the CAP and were found to be acceptable.
Station Work Requests were written for some conditions as good practice.
The potentially adverse conditions and their individual Problem Investigation process (PIP) tracking numbers are listed in the NTTF 2.3 Seismic Walkdown Report for Unit 1 contained in Attachment
- 5. [Attachment 5a of this update report adds the walkdown results for the previously in-accessible components for Unit I and Common SSCs, no new potential adverse conditions were identified.]

The criteria for both programs were conservatively enveloped such that an evaluation of a given component would address all aspects of both programs.
IPEEE enhancements are a subset of the overall USI A-46 outliers.
Therefore, implementation of the IPEEE enhancements is confirmed by the 9/12/2002 SQUG Outlier Resolution Completion Notice.7. Peer Review Duke Energy (Duke) contracted with the Shaw Group (Shaw) / ARES Corporation (ARES)Team to perform the NTTF 2.3 peer review at the Oconee Nuclear Station (ONS). The Peer Review Report [accessible components from the initial walkdown]
is contained in Attachment 6.[A supplemental Peer Review Report (Attachment
- 7) was performed for this report update, and the walkdown results completed by Duke Energy personnel, of the Unit I and Common SSCs that were inaccessible during the initial report.]The Peer Review Team consisted of three individuals (refer to table 2-2), all of whom have seismic engineering experience as it applies to nuclear power plants. These individuals participated in the peer review of each of the activities.

Page 14 of 16 Enclosure la Update to Unit 1 Seismic Walkdown Report The Peer Review team concluded that the methodology utilized conforms to the guidance in Section 6 of EPRI 1025286. The peer review covered the following: " The selection of the SSCs included on the Seismic Walkdown Equipment List (SWEL).* A sample of the checklists prepared for the seismic walkdowns and area walk-bys." The licensing basis evaluations." The decisions for entering the potentially adverse conditions in the Corrective Action Program (CAP) process." The submittal report.The peer review process for the SWEL development and the seismic walkdowns consisted of the following:
- Reviewing the activity guidance in EPRI 1025286, the NEI Q&A bulletins, the NEI first-mover reports, and NRC Temporary Instruction 2515/188." Conducting an in-process review at the plant site, including interviews with the personnel performing the activity and reviewing in-process documentation.
- Performing an in-plant surveillance (for the walkdown activity) of a seismic walkdown and an area walk-by." Providing in-process observations and comments to the personnel performing the activities." Conducting a final review of a sample of the completed documentation.
The peer review process for the licensing basis evaluations and the decisions for entering potentially adverse conditions into the CAP consisted of reviewing the overall review process and the licensing basis reviews. The peer review process for the submittal report consisted of reviewing the draft submittal prepared by Oconee Design Engineering for licensing review.The conclusion of the peer reviews for both the initially accessible and the initially inaccessible components is that the ONS NTTF 2.3 seismic walkdown effort has been conducted in accordance with the guidance in EPRI 1025286. Comments made during the in-process review of the SWEL development and the walkdowns have been addressed satisfactorily.
In-process comments on the final walkdown reports, the licensing basis reviews, and the submittal have also been resolved Attachment 5a Contains Security-Sensitive Information
