On March 12, 2012, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued an order (Reference 1) to Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. (DNC). Reference 1 was immediately effective and directed DNC to develop, implement, and maintain guidance and strategies to maintain core cooling, containment, and spent fuel pool cooling capabilities in the event of a beyond-design-basis external event.
Reference I required submission of an Overall Integrated Plan (OIP) (Reference 2) pursuant to Section IV, Condition C. Reference 1 also required submission of a status report at six-month intervals following submittal of the OIP. to this letter provides the fourth six-month status report and an update of milestone accomplishments since the submittal of the previous six-month status report

(DNC) developed an Overall Integrated Plan (OIP)
(Reference 1), documenting the diverse and flexible strategies (FLEX) for Millstone Power Station Unit 2 (MPS2), in response to NRC Order Number EA-12-049 (Reference 2). This attachment provides an update of milestone accomplishments and open items since the last status report (Reference 3), including changes to the compliance method, schedule, or need for relief/relaxation and the basis, if any.
2 Milestone Accomplishments The following milestones have been completed since the development of the OIP, and are current as of January 31, 2015.
" Submit Integrated Plan
" Develop Strategies
" Develop Training Plan
- Develop Strategies/Contract with NSRC
- Purchase Equipment
" Receive Equipment
- Create Maintenance Procedures 3 Milestone Schedule Status The following table provides an update to Attachment 2A of the OIP. It provides the activity status of each item as of January 31, 2015, and whether the expected completion date has changed. The dates are planning dates subject to change as design and implementation details are developed.
The revised milestone target completion dates for 'Develop Modifications,' 'Implement Modifications,' 'Implement Training,' 'Issue FSGs and Associated Procedure Revisions,'
'Validation Walk-throughs or Demonstrations of FLEX Strategies and Procedures,' and
'Outage Implementation' do not impact the Order implementation date.

4 Changes to Compliance Method By letter dated February 28, 2013, (Reference 1), DNC provided an OIP to address Beyond-Design-Basis (BDB) events at MPS2 and MPS Unit 3 (MPS3) as required by Order Number EA-12-049, dated March 12, 2012. The first Six-Month Status Update of the OIP for MPS2 and MPS3 was provided by letter dated August 23, 2013 (Reference 4). The second and third Six-Month Status Updates for MPS2 were provided by letters dated February 28, 2014 (Reference 3) and August 28, 2014 (Reference 5),
respectively. Listed below are changes to the compliance method information provided in the MPS2 OIP and subsequent updates. These changes continue to meet Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 12-06 guidance (Reference 6):

- a. An alternate location for the 120 VAC and 480 VAC Diesel Generators (DGs) has been identified in the event that the "Courtyard" area at the west end of the MPS Unit 1 (MPS1) Radwaste Building is not accessible. The alternate area for the 480 VAC DG is in the alleyway just south of the MPS1 Radwaste Building. The alternate area for the 120/240 VAC DG is in the area east of the MPS2 Auxiliary Building at the Health Physics entrance. The available cables for both DGs are of sufficient length for either their primary or alternate locations. The alternate areas were identified in response to concerns for blockage of the haul route to the primary "courtyard" location due to failure of the MPS stack structure.
The tie-in location for the NSRC High Capacity / Low Pressure pump that is used to supply cooling water from Long Island Sound for either the primary or the alternate Containment cooling strategy was incorrectly identified in OIP Figures 10 and 11 provided in the February 2014 Six Month Status Update (Reference 3). These figures have been revised and included at the end of this attachment.
5 Need for Relief/Relaxation and Basis for the Relief/Relaxation DNC expects to comply with the order implementation date and no relief/relaxation is required at this time.
6 Open Items The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has established an audit process to allow the exchange of information between the licensees and the NRC Staff (Reference 7).
Between July 21, 2014 and July 25, 2014, MPS2 and MPS3 were the subject of an NRC onsite audit where the site specific aspects of DNC's proposed FLEX Mitigating Strategies were reviewed. During this NRC onsite audit, the staff reviewed site specific documentation and upon completion of the audit, indicated that further review of several items was not anticipated as DNC proceeds towards compliance for Orders EA-12-049 and EA-12-051. These items are identified in the following tables in Section 6. Note that the tables provided in Sections 6.4 and 6.5 are new and are the result of the ongoing NRC audit process.
6.1. Open Items from Overall Integrated Plan The following table provides a summary of the status of Open Items (01) identified by DNC and documented in Attachment 2B of the MPS2 OIP submitted on February 28, 2013 and the status of each item.

6.4. Audit Questions Reviewed During the MPS2 NRC Onsite Audit Various MPS2 Audit Questions (AQs) were evaluated during the MPS NRC Onsite Audit.
In the Final Audit Report from the July 2014 NRC Onsite Audit (Reference 8), the NRC Staff indicated that for the majority of the AQs items, further review was not anticipated as DNC proceeds towards compliance for Order EA-12-049. However, the following AQs are still under review by the NRC Staff:
AQ #s: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 20, 32, 33, 35, 44, 58, 64, and 80 The responses to the above AQs are being addressed through the ongoing NRC audit process (Reference 7).
6.5. Additional Items Reviewed During the MPS2 NRC Onsite Audit Additional Safety Evaluation (SE) Review items were identified and evaluated during the MPS NRC Onsite Audit.
In the Final Audit Report from the July 2014 NRC Onsite Audit (Reference 8), the NRC Staff indicated that for the majority of these SE items, further review was not anticipated as DNC proceeds towards compliance for Order EA-12-049. However, the following SEs are still under review by the NRC Staff:
SE #s: 7, 8, and 9 The responses to the above SEs are being addressed through the ongoing NRC audit process (Reference 7).

Additionally, DNC is participating in the ongoing industry effort to develop guidance for the Final Integrated Plan that will support NRC preparation of the Safety Evaluation documenting MPS2 compliance with Order EA-12-049. The format of the Final Integrated Plan is consistent with the Safety Evaluation Template provided with the July 1, 2014 Jack Davis memorandum (ML14161A643)(Reference 21).
8 Supplemental Information This supplemental information provides details of the changes identified in the status updates above and addresses the following topics: a) a revision to Milestone Task
'Develop Modifications', b) a revision to Milestone Task 'Implement Training', c) 'Issue FSGs and Associated Procedure Revisions', d) a revision to Milestone Task 'Validation Walk-throughs or Demonstrations of FLEX Strategies and Procedures', and e) a revision to Open Item No. 5.
a) MPS2, Milestone Task 'Develop Modifications': The revision to the scheduled target completion date is needed to obtain final design change approval of the MPS2 modifications to the ADV outlet piping and the Turbine Driven AFW pump exhaust supports.
b) MPS2, Milestone Task 'Implement Training': The revision to the scheduled target completion date reflects the current MPS2 scheduled training cycles necessary to complete training on the final approved FSGs.
c) MPS2, Milestone Task 'Issue FSGs and Associated Procedure Revisions': The revision to the scheduled milestone target completion date allows for completion of training on finalized MPS2 FSGs.
d) MPS2, Milestone Task 'Validation Walk-throughs or Demonstrations of FLEX Strategies and Procedures': The revision to the scheduled milestone target completion date allows for completion of the validation of the MPS2 FSGs based on the availability of required resources.
e) MPS2, Open Item 5: The Open Item completion date is revised to September 2015.
The revision corresponds to the scheduled milestone target completion date and allows for completion of the MPS2 FSGs prior to the beginning of the currently scheduled MPS2 fall 2015 refueling outage.
