SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, Northern States Power Company, a Minnesota corporation (NSPM), doing business as Xcel Energy, hereby requests an amendment to the Renewed Facility Operating Licenses (RFOLs) for the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP),
Units 1 and 2. PINGP RFOL, Paragraph 2.C(4)(c), Transition License Conditions requires NSPM to implement modifications to PINGP as described in Attachment S, Modifications and Implementation Items, Table S-2, Plant Modifications Committed as submitted in Reference 1 to complete the transition to full compliance with 10 CFR 50.48(c). This proposed license amendment request (LAR) changes the above license condition to include a reference to this letter.
The guidance of the March 2, 2016, letter from the NRC to the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI)
(Reference 2) was used to develop this LAR. NSPM utilizes the guidance in Option A described in Reference 2 because the plant modifications have been evaluated using the accepted fire Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) methods and approaches as summarized in NSPMs NFPA 805 Safety Evaluation dated August 8, 2017 (Reference 3). Accordingly, Attachments M, S, and W of the previously approved NFPA 805 submittal for PINGP were revised. The revisions are based on five changes to Attachment S, Table S-2.
2.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION 2.1 NRC Guidance for Changes to Approved Modifications In Reference 2, the NRC provided guidance in developing a LAR for licensees wishing to change or remove a plant modification. The NRC provided three options for licensees to provide the necessary information for NRC to review in a timely manner; the most germane option for the NSPM proposed changes to the approved NFPA 805 modifications is Option A.
NRC recommended that the following information be provided for an Option A approval:
- i.
A summary of all changes to the modifications; ii.
A summary of all changes to the PRA models and explanation for each change; iii.
New, updated versions in their entirety of: the License Condition (Attachment M), list of plant modifications (Attachment S) and the summarizing area wide change-in-risk result tables (Attachment W); and iv.
A statement that the defense-in-depth (DID) and safety margin evaluations associated with the original LAR have been completed on the proposed changes.
Items i, ii, and iv are provided in this Enclosure. Enclosures 2 and 3 provide marked up and re-typed versions of Attachment M, respectively, to reflect the proposed changes to PINGP RFOL paragraphs 2.C(4) and 2.C(4)(c). Enclosures 4 and 5 provide marked up and re-typed versions of Attachment S, respectively, to reflect the proposed removal of five modifications from
L-PI-18-005 NSPM Page 3 of 23 Table S-2. Enclosure 6 provides a new version of Attachment W to reflect the changes in the risk calculations associated with deleting the five modifications. Due to the large number of changes to Attachment W, a marked up version is not being supplied and changes will not be identified by revision bars in the right margin.
2.2 Attachment M Changes The current PINGP RFOL Paragraph 2.C(4)(c), Transition License Conditions, Item 2, for each PINGP unit states the following:
The licensee shall implement the modifications to its facility as described in Attachment S, Table S-2, Plant Modifications Committed, in Northern States Power - Minnesota letter L-PI-16-090, dated December 14, 2016, to complete the transition to full compliance with 10 CFR 50.48(c), before the end of the second full operating cycle for each unit after approval of the LAR. The licensee shall maintain appropriate compensatory measures in place until completion of these modifications.
This LAR proposes revising the PINGP RFOL Paragraph 2.C(4)(c), Transition License Conditions, Item 2, to state the following:
The licensee shall implement the modifications to its facility as described in Attachment S, Table S-2, Plant Modifications Committed, in Northern States Power - Minnesota letter L-PI-18-005, dated May 18, 2018, to complete the transition to full compliance with 10 CFR 50.48(c), before the end of the second full operating cycle for each unit after approval of the NFPA 805 License Amendment dated August 8, 2017. The licensee shall maintain appropriate compensatory measures in place until completion of these modifications.
The modification of the Transition License Conditions in PINGP RFOL Paragraph 2.C(4)(c) necessitates further changes in Paragraph 2.C(4), Fire Protection. The current PINGP RFOL Paragraph 2.C(4) for each PINGP unit states the following:
NSPM shall implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved fire protection program that comply with 10 CFR 50.48(a) and 10 CFR 50.48(c), as specified in the licensee amendment request dated September 28, 2012 (and supplements dated November 8, 2012, December 18, 2012, May 3, 2013, October 17, 2013, April 30, 2014, May 28, 2015, June 19, 2015, October 6, 2015, October 22, 2015, January 20, 2016, May 24, 2016, August 17, 2016, December 14, 2016, and March 6, 2017), and as approved in the safety evaluation dated August 8, 2017. Except where NRC approval for changes or deviations is required by 10 CFR 50.48(c), and provided no other regulation, technical specification, license condition, or requirement would require prior NRC approval, the licensee may make changes to the fire protection program without prior approval of the Commission if those changes satisfy the provisions set forth in 10 CFR 50.48(a) and 10 CFR 50.48(c), the change does not require a change
L-PI-18-005 NSPM Page 4 of 23 to a technical specification or a license condition, and the criteria listed below are satisfied.
This LAR proposes revising the PINGP RFOL Paragraph 2.C(4), Fire Protection, to state the following:
NSPM shall implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved fire protection program that comply with 10 CFR 50.48(a) and 10 CFR 50.48(c), as specified in the licensee amendment requests dated September 28, 2012, and May 18, 2018 (and supplements dated November 8, 2012, December 18, 2012, May 3, 2013, October 17, 2013, April 30, 2014, May 28, 2015, June 19, 2015, October 6, 2015, October 22, 2015, January 20, 2016, May 24, 2016, August 17, 2016, December 14, 2016, and March 6, 2017), and as approved in the safety evaluations dated August 8, 2017, and [Safety Evaluation Date]. Except where NRC approval for changes or deviations is required by 10 CFR 50.48(c), and provided no other regulation, technical specification, license condition, or requirement would require prior NRC approval, the licensee may make changes to the fire protection program without prior approval of the Commission if those changes satisfy the provisions set forth in 10 CFR 50.48(a) and 10 CFR 50.48(c),
the change does not require a change to a technical specification or a license condition, and the criteria listed below are satisfied.
2.3 Attachment S Changes NSPM requests five changes to Attachment S, Table S-2. Specifically, NSPM is requesting the deletion of modifications 15, 20, 27, 30 and 33 from Table S-2. The changes to these five modifications are discussed in detail in sections 3.1 through 3.5, respectively, of this enclosure.
The discussion includes a description of the proposed change, the basis for the change, the risk impacts and the preservation of defense in depth and safety margins.
Several modifications in Table S-2 have been completed since Table S-2 was last submitted in Reference 1. However, the scope of changes to Table S-2 submitted in this document was intentionally limited to only the deletion of the five modifications. Table S-2 was not updated to reflect any modifications which have already been installed and could be transferred to Table S-1.
2.4 Attachment W Changes The PINGP fire PRA model was updated to reflect the deletion of the five modifications from Table S-2. The fire PRA model update included changes related to the following model elements:
Equipment Selection - The equipment selection was updated to include review of required instrumentation for operator actions, screening criteria to determine if instrumentation was required to be modeled in the fault tree, and equipment related to updated cable selection.
L-PI-18-005 NSPM Page 5 of 23 Fire Induced Risk Model (FIRM) - The FIRM was updated to include changes from the current internal events PRA model (Revision 5.3). The alternate shutdown portions of the FIRM were updated to better reflect operator actions taken after control room abandonment.
Fire Ignition Frequencies - Fire Ignition frequencies were updated according to NUREG-2169, Nuclear Power Plant Fire Ignition Frequency and Non-Suppression Probability Estimation Using the Updated Fire Events Database, United States Fire Event Experience Through 2009 (Reference 4).
Cable Selection and Detailed Circuit Failure Analysis - Some components cable selection conservatively included cable that did not fail the credited functions. The cable selection was updated to exclude cables that have no impacts on the credited functions.
For the pressurizer heater circuits, additional analysis was performed to determine which cables could cause spurious operation of relays instead of simply assuming relay contacts were always in the worst-case position.
Circuit Failure Mode Likelihood Analysis (CFMLA) - CFMLA was applied to additional components that were risk-significant.
Scoping and Detailed Fire Modeling - Incorporated the electrical cabinet heat release rates from NUREG-2178, Refining and Characterizing Heat Release Rates from Electrical Enclosures During Fire (RACHELLE-FIRE) (Reference 5) and the non-suppression rates in NUREG-2169, EPRI/NRC-RES Fire Human Reliability Analysis Guidelines. The NUREG-2178 obstructed plume method was not incorporated. Some risk-significant raceways (conduits) previously assumed to be everywhere in the fire compartment were identified to be located in specific locations within the fire compartment. The fire scenarios were updated to remove conservative assumptions in risk-significant fire scenarios. The sensitivity study performed for NSPMs response to NFPA 805 PRA RAI 21 in Reference 1 related to NUREG-2180, Determining the Effectiveness, Limitations, and Operator Response for Very Early Warning Fire Detection Systems in Nuclear Facilities (DELORES-VEWFIRE) (Reference 6) was incorporated into the baseline fire PRA model.
Post-Fire Human Reliability Analysis (FHRA) - The FHRA was updated to include some additional operator actions and refine existing actions in accordance with NUREG-1921, EPRI/NRC-RES Fire Human Reliability Analysis Guidelines (Reference 7) guidance.
Also, some new thermal hydraulic analyses were done to support both new fire post-initiation actions and the existing actions.
Fire Risk Quantification - The updated fire PRA model was quantified with the above-listed changes reflecting removal of five NFPA 805 modifications and refinements to several fire PRA elements for the updated baseline fire PRA model (Revision 5.3).
L-PI-18-005 NSPM Page 6 of 23 The fire PRA notebooks were updated to document all of the above changes.
Additionally, a focused-scope peer review was performed on the cable thermal response methodology contained in Appendix H to NUREG/CR-6850, EPRI/NRC-RES Fire PRA Methodology for Nuclear Power Facilities (Reference 8) as described in NSPMs response to NFPA 805 PRA RAI 21. The focused-scope peer review also reviewed the PINGP treatment of main control board fires as described in NSPMs response to NFPA 805 PRA RAI 12 (Reference 9) because this was an upgrade from the previous methodology that was used in the 2012 fire PRA peer review. No peer review findings were identified during the focused-scope peer review. The methodology for the main control board fires has not changed since NSPMs response to NFPA 805 PRA RAI 12.
As a result, the risk calculations provided in Attachment W to the NFPA 805 LAR have been updated to reflect the changes to the PRA model. A revised version of Attachment W is provided as Enclosure 6.
2.5 Facility Description PINGP is a two unit plant located on the right (west) bank of the Mississippi River within the city limits of the city of Red Wing, Minnesota. The facility is owned and operated by NSPM.
Each unit at PINGP employs a two-loop pressurized water reactor (PWR) designed and supplied by Westinghouse Electric Corporation. The initial PINGP application for a Construction Permit and Operating License was submitted to the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) in April 1967. The Final Safety Analysis Report was submitted for application of an Operating License in January 1971. Unit 1 began commercial operation in December 1973 and Unit 2 began commercial operation in December 1974.
The PINGP was designed and constructed to comply with NSPMs understanding of the intent of the AEC General Design Criteria (GDC) for Nuclear Power Plant Construction Permits, as proposed on July 10, 1967. PINGP was not licensed to NUREG-0800, Standard Review Plan.
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
3.1 Charging Pump Suction Pressure Protection Modification Proposed Change:
Delete the proposed modification of the Units 1 and 2 charging pumps described in item 15 on page S-18 of Attachment S, Table S-2, as:
Problem Statement:
Fire-induced damage that could damage cables causing multiple spurious operations [MSOs] resulting in damage to the charging pumps. If fire induced cable damage caused spurious isolation of letdown to the VCT [Volume Control Tank] (CV-31226 and CV-31255) and failure to open the RWST [Refueling Water
L-PI-18-005 NSPM Page 7 of 23 Storage Tank] supply (MV-32060) and failure to trip the charging pumps, the 11, 12, 13, 21, 22 and 23 positive displacement charging pumps (MTR 111J-1) and MTR211J-1 could be damaged due to lack of Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH).
Need to prevent unrecoverable damage to credited charging pump due to fire in FA [Fire Area] 13/18 to resolve MSO issue.
Proposed Modification:
Install suction pressure protection for all the charging pumps to ensure adequate NPSH exists to prevent damage to the charging pumps.
Basis for Change:
The modification to install suction pressure protection for charging pumps no longer provides significant risk benefit to warrant the modification because the fire PRA model was updated to better reflect plant system response. The VCT outlet motor operated valves (MV-32061 and MV-32063) will be de-energized to preclude spurious closure in the event of a fire.
Risk Impact Discussion:
This modification was proposed to protect the charging pumps from inadequate NPSH. The normal letdown flow path flows into the VCT is the normal source to the positive displacement charging pumps for the volume control system. Spurious isolation of the letdown flow path would stop the flow into the VCT and level would drop. If the charging pumps are not stopped and the RWST supply valve failed to open on low VCT level, the VCT water inventory would be depleted and the charging pumps would no longer function as intended. The fire PRA model includes an operator action to open the RWST supply to the charging pumps. Once the RWST supply valve is open, the elevation head of the RWST remains larger than the head of the VCT for greater than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> at charging pump flow rates. Therefore, closing the VCT outlet valve is not time critical. The fire PRA model was updated to remove credit for the modification by deleting the basic events and fault tree gates that were added to credit the modification. The results remain acceptable and are presented in the new Attachment W tables provided in.
Defense in Depth/Safety Margin Discussion:
Defense in depth involves the following three echelons:
- 1. Prevent fires from starting;
- 2. Rapidly detect, control and promptly extinguish those fires that do occur, thereby preventing fire damage; and
- 3. Providing adequate level of fire protection for systems and structures so that a fire will not prevent essential safety functions from being performed.
L-PI-18-005 NSPM Page 8 of 23 Defense in depth is maintained after the deletion of this modification for charging pump suction protection because it does not impact the ability to prevent fires from starting, nor does it impact the ability to rapidly detect, control, and extinguish fires that do occur. An adequate level of fire protection is maintained because the opening of the VCT supply valve breaker will preclude spurious isolation of the VCT supply. Failure of the RWST supply valve to open is still modeled in the fire PRA model.
Safety margins are maintained in the fact that:
Fire detection and fire suppression systems credited in NFPA 805, Chapter 4, have been evaluated to meet the requirements of NFPA 805, Chapter 3, and their associated codes of record for those systems or provided with acceptable alternatives using processes accepted for use by the NRC.
The risk-informed, performance based processes utilized are based upon NFPA 805, as endorsed by the NRC in 10 CFR 50.48(c).
The fire risk evaluation process is in accordance with NEI 04-02, Guidance for Implementing a Risk-Informed, Performance-Based Fire Protection Program Under 10 CFR 50.48(c) (Reference 10), endorsed by NRC Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.205, Risk-Informed, Performance-Based Fire Protection for Existing Light-Water Nuclear Power Plants (Reference 11), and clarified by Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) 07-0030, Establishing Recovery Actions (Reference 12).
The fire PRA was developed with guidance from NUREG/CR-6850 which was developed jointly between the NRC and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI).
The internal events PRA and fire PRA have received a formal industry peer review based on the NEI guidelines, in order to ensure the fire PRA meets the appropriate standards of American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) / American Nuclear Society (ANS) Standard ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009, Addenda to ASME/ANS RA-S-2008 Standard for Level 1/Large Early Release Frequency Probabilistic Risk Assessment for Nuclear Power Applications (Reference 13).
The peer review of the fire PRA model was conducted by a diverse group of PRA practitioners from other PWR plants and industry.
Fire modeling performed in support of the transition has been performed within the fire PRA utilizing codes and standards developed by industry and NRC staff which have been verified and validated in authoritative publications, such as NUREG-1824, Verification and Validation of Selected Fire Models for Nuclear Power Plant Applications (Reference 14).
L-PI-18-005 NSPM Page 9 of 23 3.2 Panels 136, 137 and 217 Breaker Coordination Modification Proposed Change:
Delete the proposed modification to Panels 136, 137 and 217 described in item 20 on page S-19 of Attachment S, Table S-2, as:
Problem Statement:
The current Fire PRA Model assumes proper coordination exists for all credited power supplies. Per Fire PRA credited power supplies lack selective coordination.
Proposed Modification:
Install the appropriate fuses and/or breakers to establish proper selective coordination for panels 136, 137, and 217 credited to be coordinated.
Basis for Change:
The fire PRA model was updated to include failure of the un-coordinated load cables as causing a failure of the upstream un-coordinated supply breaker, which causes a loss of power for Panels 136 and 137 that lack selective fuse/breaker coordination. The fire PRA no longer credits a recovery action to transfer the source breaker for Panel 211 or Panel 213 to the Interruptible Panel 217 to restore power to these instrument buses due to a fire in Fire Area 31.
Therefore, electrical coordination of Panel 217 is not required to support these recovery actions.
Risk Impact Discussion:
Panel 217 was previously credited to be an alternate power supply to alternating current (AC)
Instrument Panels 211 and 213 in the event of fire damage to the normal AC power supply to Panels 211 or 213. Panels 211 and 213 support process monitoring indications in the main control room. Loss of power to these panels results in degraded instrumentation. The fire PRA model considers the degraded instrumentation impact in these fire scenarios. Since Panel 217 is no longer credited to re-power Panels 211 and 213 in the event of a fire, the lack of electrical coordination on Panel 217 has no impact for Panels 211 and 213.
Panels 136 and 137 provide AC power to the cooling water strainers backwash controller and the diesel driven cooling water pumps (DDCLPs) fuel oil transfer pumps. Loss of power to the cooling water strainers backwash control results in loss of automatic backwash of the cooling water strainers upon high differential pressure. A calculation was performed and demonstrates this is not a time critical function and the strainers will not significantly obstruct cooling water flow during the mission time. Therefore, recovery actions are no longer required for the cooling water strainers and Panels 136 and 137 are not required to support the cooling water strainers.
L-PI-18-005 NSPM Page 10 of 23 The diesel fuel oil transfer pumps for the DDCLPs are powered from Panels 136 and 137 and provide fuel oil from underground storage tanks to the 12 DDCLP (Train A) and 22 DDCLP (Train B) day tanks, respectively. There are also three motor driven cooling water pumps (11, 21, and 121) that supply cooling water to the cooling water header. The un-coordinated load cables are mapped to failing the upstream panels in the fire PRA model. Therefore, the impact of lack of coordination is included in the fire PRA model.
The additional risk due to lack of electrical coordination on Panels 136, 137, and 217 has been incorporated into the fire PRA model and the results are included in the new Attachment W tables in Enclosure 6.
Defense in Depth/Safety Margin Discussion:
Defense in depth involves the following three echelons:
- 1. Prevent fires from starting;
- 2. Rapidly detect, control and promptly extinguish those fires that do occur, thereby preventing fire damage; and
- 3. Providing adequate level of fire protection for systems and structures so that a fire will not prevent essential safety functions from being performed.
Defense in depth is maintained after the deletion of this modification for breaker coordination because it does not impact the ability to prevent fires from starting, nor does it impact the ability to rapidly detect, control, and extinguish fires that do occur. An adequate level of fire protection is maintained because the impact of the lack of electrical coordination is included in the fire PRA model and the results remain acceptable.
Safety margins are maintained in the fact that:
Fire detection and fire suppression systems credited in NFPA 805, Chapter 4, have been evaluated to meet the requirements of NFPA 805, Chapter 3, and their associated codes of record for those systems or provided with acceptable alternatives using processes accepted for use by the NRC.
The risk-informed, performance based processes utilized are based upon NFPA 805, as endorsed by the NRC in 10 CFR 50.48(c).
The fire risk evaluation process is in accordance with NEI 04-02 as endorsed by RG 1.205 and clarified by FAQ 07-0030.
The fire PRA was developed with guidance from NUREG/CR-6850, which was developed jointly between the NRC and EPRI.
L-PI-18-005 NSPM Page 11 of 23 The internal events PRA and fire PRA have received a formal industry peer review based on the NEI guidelines, in order to ensure the fire PRA meets the appropriate standards of ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009.
The peer review of the fire PRA model was conducted by a diverse group of PRA practitioners from other PWR plants and industry.
Fire modeling performed in support of the transition has been performed within the fire PRA utilizing codes and standards developed by industry and NRC staff which have been verified and validated in authoritative publications, such as NUREG 1824.
3.3 Pressurizer PORVs and Heaters Control Switch Modification Proposed Change:
Delete the proposed modification to the Units 1 and 2 pressurizer power operated relief valves (PORVs) and pressurizer heaters described in item 27 on page S-21 of Attachment S, Table S-2, as:
Problem Statement:
A fire in the Control Room (Fire Area 13) or the Relay and Cable Spreading Room (Fire Area 18) could cause spurious opening of valves that could lead to a loss of inventory.
Proposed Modification:
Install switches in the Control Room to isolate Pressurizer PORV, and Pressurizer Heaters.
Basis for Change:
A detailed circuit analysis was performed on the process control inputs to the pressurizer level and pressure control system that provides automatic signals to the pressurizer PORVs and pressurizer heaters. Previously, relays were assumed to be failed in the most adverse position.
Now, the signal and control cables that impact the relays are mapped and only failed in the applicable scenarios. An additional recovery action was credited to manually operate pressurizer heater breakers outside the control room in alternate shutdown procedures after control room abandonment.
Risk Impact Discussion:
The fire PRA model was updated to remove credit for new control room isolation switches, include the detailed circuit analysis for the pressurizer heaters and PORVs, and include credit for recovery actions outside the control room to locally operate pressurizer heater breakers.
Operator action to close the pressurizer PORVs from the control room is credited to isolate
L-PI-18-005 NSPM Page 12 of 23 spurious pressure signals if the pressurizer PORVs control switches and cables have not been impacted by the fire. The existing action to isolate pressurizer PORVs outside the main control room is also still credited for alternate shutdown scenarios. The fire PRA results remain acceptable with credit for modification to pressurizer PORVs and heater circuits removed. The results are included in the new Attachment W tables in Enclosure 6.
Defense in Depth/Safety Margin Discussion:
Defense in depth involves the following three echelons:
- 1. Prevent fires from starting;
- 2. Rapidly detect, control and promptly extinguish those fires that do occur, thereby preventing fire damage; and
- 3. Providing adequate level of fire protection for systems and structures so that a fire will not prevent essential safety functions from being performed.
Defense in depth is maintained after the deletion of this modification for isolation switch installation because it does not impact the ability to prevent fires from starting, nor does it impact the ability to rapidly detect, control, and extinguish fires that do occur. An adequate level of fire protection is maintained because the spurious operation of the pressurizer PORVs and pressurizer heaters is mitigated by actions outside the main control room to isolate these spurious events and the risk of these actions is included in the fire PRA model.
Safety margins are maintained in the fact that:
Fire detection and fire suppression systems credited in NFPA 805, Chapter 4, have been evaluated to meet the requirements of NFPA 805, Chapter 3, and their associated codes of record for those systems or provided with acceptable alternatives using processes accepted for use by the NRC.
The risk-informed, performance based processes utilized are based upon NFPA 805, as endorsed by the NRC in 10 CFR 50.48(c).
The fire risk evaluation process is in accordance with NEI 04-02 as endorsed by RG 1.205 and clarified by FAQ 07-0030.
The fire PRA was developed with guidance from NUREG/CR-6850, which was developed jointly between the NRC and EPRI.
The internal events PRA and fire PRA have received a formal industry peer review based on the NEI guidelines, in order to ensure the fire PRA meets the appropriate standards of ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009.
L-PI-18-005 NSPM Page 13 of 23 The peer review of the fire PRA model was conducted by a diverse group of PRA practitioners from other PWR plants and industry.
Fire modeling performed in support of the transition has been performed within the fire PRA utilizing codes and standards developed by industry and NRC staff which have been verified and validated in authoritative publications, such as NUREG 1824.
3.4 Cable 2DCA-10 Modification Proposed Change:
Delete the proposed modification of Unit 2 cable 2DCA-10 described in item 30 on page S-21 of Attachment S, Table S-2, as:
Problem Statement:
A fire in Fire Area 31 could damage cables that provide DC [Direct Current]
power to vital auxiliaries which impacts risk.
Proposed Modification:
Modify risk significant cable (2DCA-10) from risk significant fire initiators in Fire Areas [sic] 31.
Basis for Change:
Cable 2DCA-10 provides DC power to Unit 2, Train A DC Panel 25, which powers relays that provide automatic start of the 21 Motor Driven Auxiliary Feed Water (AFW) Pump on low steam generator level or Safety Injection (SI) signal, but operators can still start the 21 AFW Pump from the control room. The protection of cable 2DCA-10 was a risk reduction modification and is not a Variance From Deterministic Requirement (VFDR) of NFPA 805 because the 21 AFW Pump remains available from the control room to provide AFW to the steam generators.
Risk Impact Discussion:
The 21 AFW Pump starts due to the following signals:
SI signal Low steam generator level Both main feedwater pumps tripped Anticipated Transient without a Scram (ATWS) Mitigating System Actuation Circuitry (AMSAC) / Diverse Scram System (DSS)
L-PI-18-005 NSPM Page 14 of 23 Manual start by operators The main feedwater system and AMSAC/DSS start signals are not credited in the fire PRA model due to dependency on other systems like Instrument Air and Service Building support systems that are not credited in the fire PRA model. DC power from Panel 25 is required for the AFW start relays for the SI signal and the low steam generator level start signal. Failure of the automatic start signal to the 21 AFW Pump would require operators to manually start the 21 AFW Pump from the control room. The fire PRA results remain acceptable with credit for the modification to cable 2DCA-10 removed and the results are included in the new Attachment W tables in Enclosure 6.
Defense in Depth/Safety Margin Discussion:
Defense in depth involves the following three echelons:
- 1. Prevent fires from starting;
- 2. Rapidly detect, control and promptly extinguish those fires that do occur, thereby preventing fire damage; and
- 3. Providing adequate level of fire protection for systems and structures so that a fire will not prevent essential safety functions from being performed.
Defense in depth is maintained after the deletion of this modification for cable 2DCA-10 because it does not impact the ability to prevent fires from starting, nor does it impact the ability to rapidly detect, control, and extinguish fires that do occur. An adequate level of fire protection is maintained because modifications (Table S-2, items 2 and 4) were performed to the Unit 2 AFW system to remove the A Train controls from Fire Area 31. Therefore, the A Train of the AFW system now remains available to provide flow to the steam generators in the event of a fire in Fire Area 31.
Safety margins are maintained in the fact that:
Fire detection and fire suppression systems credited in NFPA 805, Chapter 4, have been evaluated to meet the requirements of NFPA 805, Chapter 3, and their associated codes of record for those systems or provided with acceptable alternatives using processes accepted for use by the NRC.
The risk-informed, performance based processes utilized are based upon NFPA 805, as endorsed by the NRC in 10 CFR 50.48(c).
The fire risk evaluation process is in accordance with NEI 04-02 as endorsed by RG 1.205 and clarified by FAQ 07-0030.

Fire modeling performed in support of the transition has been performed within the fire PRA utilizing codes and standards developed by industry and NRC staff which have been verified and validated in authoritative publications, such as NUREG 1824.
3.5 Cable 1DCB-18 Modification Proposed Change:
Delete the proposed modification of Unit 1 cable 1DCB-18 described in item 33 on page S-22 of Attachment S, Table S-2, as:
Problem Statement:
A fire in Fire Area 32 could damage the cable that provides DC control power to PNL-16 [Panel 16] which supports Instrumentation.
Proposed Modification:
Modify cable 1DCB-18 from fire damage in Fire Area 32.
Basis for Change:
Cable 1DCB-18 provides DC power to Unit 1, Train B DC Panel 16, which powers relays that provide automatic start of the 12 Motor Driven AFW Pump on low steam generator level or SI signal, but operators can still start the 12 AFW Pump from the control room. The protection of cable 1DCB-18 was a risk reduction modification and is not a VFDR of NFPA 805 because the 12 AFW Pump remains available from the control room to provide AFW to the steam generators.
Risk Impact Discussion:
The 12 AFW pump starts due to the following signals:
SI signal Low steam generator level
L-PI-18-005 NSPM Page 16 of 23 Both main feedwater pumps tripped AMSAC/DSS Manual start by operators The main feedwater system and the AMSAC/DSS start signals are not credited in the fire PRA model due to dependency on other systems like Instrument Air and Service Building support systems that are not credited in the fire PRA model. DC power from Panel 16 is required for the AFW start relays for the SI signal and the low steam generator level start signal. Failure of the automatic start signal to the 12 AFW Pump would require operators to manually start the 12 AFW Pump from the control room. The fire PRA results remain acceptable with credit for the modification to cable 1DCB-18 removed and the results are included in the new Attachment W tables in Enclosure 6.
Defense in Depth/Safety Margin Discussion:
Defense in depth involves the following three echelons:
- 1. Prevent fires from starting;
- 2. Rapidly detect, control and promptly extinguish those fires that do occur, thereby preventing fire damage; and
- 3. Providing adequate level of fire protection for systems and structures so that a fire will not prevent essential safety functions from being performed.
Defense in depth is maintained after the deletion of this modification for cable 1DCB-18 because it does not impact the ability to prevent fires from starting, nor does it impact the ability to rapidly detect, control, and extinguish fires that do occur. An adequate level of fire protection is maintained because Table S-2 modifications 1 and 3 will ensure the Unit 1 Train B 12 AFW Pump remains available to be manually started from the control room.
Therefore, the AFW system now remains available to provide flow to the steam generators in the event of a fire in Fire Area 32.
Safety margins are maintained in the fact that:
Fire detection and fire suppression systems credited in NFPA 805, Chapter 4, have been evaluated to meet the requirements of NFPA 805, Chapter 3, and their associated codes of record for those systems or provided with acceptable alternatives using processes accepted for use by the NRC.
The risk-informed, performance based processes utilized are based upon NFPA 805, as endorsed by the NRC in 10 CFR 50.48(c).
L-PI-18-005 NSPM Page 17 of 23 The fire risk evaluation process is in accordance with NEI 04-02 as endorsed by RG 1.205 and clarified by FAQ 07-0030.
The fire PRA was developed with guidance from NUREG/CR-6850, which was developed jointly between the NRC and EPRI.
The internal events PRA and fire PRA have received a formal industry peer review based on the NEI guidelines, in order to ensure the fire PRA meets the appropriate standards of ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009.

Fire modeling performed in support of the transition has been performed within the fire PRA utilizing codes and standards developed by industry and NRC staff which have been verified and validated in authoritative publications, such as NUREG 1824.
3.6 Cumulative Risk Impact of Deleted Modifications The removal of previously committed modifications increases total risk for the variant plant.
This risk increase has been substantially reduced through refinement of fire scenarios as described in Section 2.4 of this enclosure.
The variant plant fire PRA model has been developed without inclusion of the previously committed five modifications. Model refinements were made as needed to lower the quantified risk to acceptable levels without the modifications installed. To determine the delta-risk due to elimination of the modifications, the final variant plant fire PRA model was adjusted to simulate the effects of adding the modifications. The total change in risk is calculated in terms of Core Damage Frequency (CDF) and Large Early Release Frequency (LERF). The results are included in Table 1 below. As shown in the table, the increase in risk associated with the deletion of these modifications is small as defined in RG 1.174, An Approach for Using Probabilistic Risk Assessment in Risk-Informed Decisions on Plant-Specific Changes to the Licensing Basis (Reference 15).

4.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
4.1 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.48(c)(3)(ii)
The licensee shall complete its implementation of the methodology in Chapter 2 of NFPA 805 (including all required evaluations and analyses) and, upon completion, modify the fire protection plan required by paragraph (a) of this section to reflect the licensees decision to comply with NFPA 805, before changing its fire protection program or nuclear power plant as permitted by NFPA 805.
Conclusion 10 CFR 50.48(c)(3) sets the regulatory requirements for complying with NFPA 805.
10 CFR 50.48(c)(3)(ii) requires that all modifications to the fire protection plan necessary for compliance with NFPA 805 be implemented prior to making changes to the fire protection program or the plant as permitted by NFPA 805. The proposed change revises the list of plant modifications, which is not specified by the regulations, required for full implementation of NFPA 805. Therefore, 10 CFR 50.48(c)(3)(ii) will continue to be met.
General Design Criteria As stated in Section 2.5 of this enclosure, PINGP was designed and constructed to comply with NSPMs understanding of the intent of the AEC GDC for Nuclear Power Plant Construction Permits, as proposed on July 10, 1967. Therefore, the PINGP Licensing Basis requires conformance to the AEC GDC, as reflected in the PINGP Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR) Section 1.2. The following AEC GDC is applicable to the proposed changes:
CRITERION 3 - FIRE PROTECTION The reactor facility shall be designed (1) to minimize the probability of events such as fires and explosions and (2) to minimize the potential effects of such events to safety. Noncombustible and fire resistant materials shall be used whenever practical throughout the facility, particularly in areas containing critical portions of the facility such as containment, control room, and components of engineered safety features.
Conclusion The changes proposed will not result in the introduction of new or different combustible material into PINGP, nor will they impact the fire safe shutdown strategy. The PINGP fire PRA model was used to verify the increase in risk associated with deleting the modifications was acceptably low. Therefore, the criterion listed above, and as described in the PINGP USAR, will continue to be met.
L-PI-18-005 NSPM Page 19 of 23 4.2 Precedent The NRC approved Amendment Nos. 205 and 201 in a Safety Evaluation dated October 17, 2016 (Reference 16), for the Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant in which they revised the NFPA 805 modifications. In its application, the Southern Nuclear Operating Company utilized the guidance of Option A in Reference 2.
4.3 No Significant Hazards Consideration In accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.90, Northern States Power Company, a Minnesota corporation (NSPM), doing business as Xcel Energy, requests an amendment to the Renewed Facility Operating Licenses (RFOLs) for the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP). Specifically, the proposed amendment would revise RFOL paragraph 2.C(4)(c),
Transition License Conditions, Item 2, to revise existing commitments regarding National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard NFPA 805, Performance Based Standard for Fire Protection for Light Water Reactor Electric Generation Plants.
NSPM has evaluated the proposed amendment against the standards in 10 CFR 50.92 and has determined that the operation of PINGP in accordance with the proposed amendment presents no significant hazards. NSPMs evaluation against each of the criteria in 10 CFR 50.92 follows.
- 1. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
Response: No The proposed amendment adds a reference to this letter to the PINGP, Units 1 and 2, RFOLs. The changes encompassed by this proposed amendment are to delete five modifications that are no longer needed from a risk perspective. The revision is based on five changes to Table S-2 proposed in this license amendment request (LAR). The proposed changes have been reviewed in the fire Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) model approved as part of PINGPs transition to NFPA 805 and the results were found to be acceptable. Fire protection defense in depth and adequate safety margins are maintained with the changes proposed in this LAR.
The proposed change does not adversely affect accident initiators or precursors, nor alter the design assumptions, conditions, and configuration of the facility or the manner in which the plant is operated and maintained. The proposed changes do not adversely affect the ability of structures, systems and components (SSCs) to perform their intended safety function to mitigate the consequences of an initiating event within the assumed acceptance limits. The proposed change does not increase the probability or consequences of an accident as verified by the risk analysis performed.
L-PI-18-005 NSPM Page 20 of 23 Therefore, this proposed change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously identified.
- 2. Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?
Response: No The proposed amendment adds a reference to this letter to the PINGP, Units 1 and 2, RFOLs. The changes encompassed by this proposed amendment are to delete five modifications that are no longer needed from a risk perspective. The revision is based on five changes to Table S-2 proposed in this LAR. The proposed changes have been reviewed in the fire PRA model approved as part of PINGPs transition to NFPA 805 and the results were found to be acceptable. Fire protection defense in depth and adequate safety margins are maintained with the changes proposed in this LAR.
The proposed changes will not result in any new or different kinds of accident from that previously evaluated because it does not change any precursors or equipment that is previously credited for accident mitigation.
Therefore, this proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.
- 3. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?
Response: No The proposed amendment adds a reference to this letter to the PINGP, Units 1 and 2, RFOLs. The changes encompassed by this proposed amendment are to delete five modifications that are no longer needed from a risk perspective. The revision is based on five changes to Table S-2 proposed in this LAR. The proposed changes have been reviewed in the fire PRA model approved as part of PINGPs transition to NFPA 805 and the results were found to be acceptable. Fire protection defense in depth and adequate safety margins are maintained with the changes proposed in this LAR.
The proposed change does not adversely affect any SSCs credited for accident mitigation. The margins of safety previously evaluated are not significantly affected. The change does not affect the design function or capabilities of any plant systems.
Therefore, the proposed changes will not impact or reduce any margins of safety previously evaluated.
Therefore, this proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
L-PI-18-005 NSPM Page 21 of 23 Based on the above evaluation, NSPM concludes that the proposed amendment does not involve a significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c),
and accordingly, a finding of no significant hazards consideration is justified.
4.4 Conclusions Based on the considerations discussed above, (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commissions regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
NSPM has evaluated the proposed amendment and determined that the amendment does not involve (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) a significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite, and (iii) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.

ENCLOSURE 2 ATTACHMENT M LICENSE CONDITION CHANGES (Markup) 8 pages follow
Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment M - License Condition Changes PINGP Page M Revision 2 M. License Condition Changes 7 Pages Attached By letter dated April 30, 2014, NSPM provided Attachment M, Revision 1. By letter dated May 24, 2016, NSPM provided a revised insert A for Attachment M, Revision 1.
However, NSPM did not provide a new Revision of Attachment M in its entirety.
Subsequently, the NRC issued the PINGP NFPA 805 amendment with the final revised license condition 2.C.(4) on August 8, 2017. In this submittal, NSPM is providing Attachment M, Revision 2. The pages included herein reflect those issued by the NRC in the NFPA 805 LAR, and are marked up as described in Section 2.2 of Enclosure 1.
Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment M - License Condition Changes PINGP Page M Revision 2 NSPM Proposes to replace the current PINGP fire protection license conditions 2.C.(4) for Units 1 and 2 with the standard license condition in Regulatory Position 3.1 of Regulatory Guide 1.205, as modified as shown in the proposed markups that follow.
It is NSPMs understanding that implicit in the replacement of the current license condition, all prior fire protection program SERs and commitments will be superseded in their entirety by the revised license condition.
No other license conditions need to be replaced or revised.
NSPM implemented the following process for determining that these are the only license conditions required to be either revised or superseded to implement the new fire protection program which meets the requirements in 10 CFR 50.48(a) and 50.48(c):
A review was conducted of the PINGP Unit 1 Renewed License Number DPR-42, through Amendment No. 205 and Unit 2 Renewed License Number DPR-60, through Amendment No. 192. The review was performed by reading the Operating License and performing electronic searches. Outstanding LARs that have been submitted to the NRC were also reviewed for potential impact on the license conditions.
Marked-up License Condition pages follow.
Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment M - License Condition Changes PINGP Page M Revision 2 Safeguards Information protected under 10 CFR 73.21, is entitled: Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant Security Plan, Training and Qualification Plan, Safeguards Contingency Plan, and Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation Security Program, submitted by letters dated October 18, 2006, and January 10, 2007, and as supplemented by letters dated March 18 and June 2, 2011, and approved by NRC Safety Evaluation dated August 16, 2011.

Prior NRC review and approval is not required for changes that clearly result in a decrease in risk. The proposed change must also be consistent with the defense-in-depth philosophy and must maintain sufficient safety margins. The change may be implemented following completion of the plant change evaluation.
- 2.
Prior NRC review and approval is not required for individual changes that result in a risk increase less than 1x10-7/year (yr) for CDF and less than 1x10-8/yr for LERF. The proposed change must also be consistent with the defense-in-depth philosophy and must maintain sufficient safety margins. The change may be implemented following completion of the plant change evaluation.
(b)
Other Changes that May be Made Without Prior NRC Approval
- 1.
Changes to NFPA 805, Chapter 3, Fundamental Fire Protection Program Prior NRC review and approval are not required for changes to the NFPA 805, Chapter 3, fundamental fire protection program elements and design requirements for which an engineering evaluation demonstrates that the alternative to the Chapter 3 element is functionally equivalent or adequate for the hazard. The licensee may use an engineering evaluation to demonstrate that a change to an NFPA 805, Chapter 3, element is functionally equivalent to the corresponding technical requirement. A qualified fire protection engineer shall perform the engineering evaluation and conclude that the change has not affected the functionality of the component, system, procedure, or physical arrangement, using a relevant technical requirement or standard.
The licensee may use an engineering evaluation to demonstrate that changes to certain NFPA 805, Chapter 3, elements are acceptable because the alternative is adequate for the hazard.
Prior NRC review and approval would not be required for alternatives to four specific sections of NFPA 805, Chapter 3, for which an engineering evaluation demonstrates that the alternative to the Chapter 3 element is adequate for the hazard. A qualified fire protection engineer shall perform the engineering evaluation and conclude that the change has not affected the functionality of the component, system, procedure, or physical arrangement, using a relevant technical requirement or standard. The four specific sections of NFPA 805, Chapter 3, are as follows:
Fire Alarm and Detection Systems (Section 3.8);
Renewed Operating License No. DPR-42 Amendment No. 220
Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment M - License Condition Changes PINGP Page M Revision 2 Automatic and Manual Water-Based Fire Suppression Systems (Section 3.9);
Gaseous Fire Suppression Systems (Section 3.10); and Passive Fire Protection Features (Section 3.11).
This License Condition does not apply to any demonstration of equivalency under Section 1.7 of NFPA 805.
- 2.
Fire Protection Program Changes that Have No More than Minimal Risk Impact Prior NRC review and approval are not required for changes to the licensees fire protection program that have been demonstrated to have no more than a minimal risk impact. The licensee may use its screening process as approved in the NRC safety evaluation dated August 8, 2017, to determine that certain fire protection program changes meet the minimal criterion. The licensee shall ensure that fire protection defense-in-depth and safety margins are maintained when changes are made to the fire protection program.
(c)
Transition License Conditions
- 1.

By letter dated May 24, 2016, NSPM provided a revised insert A for Attachment M, Revision 1.
However, NSPM did not provide a new Revision of Attachment M in its entirety.
Subsequently, the NRC issued the PINGP NFPA 805 amendment with the final revised license condition 2.C.(4) on August 8, 2017. In this submittal, NSPM is providing Attachment M, Revision 2. The pages included herein reflect those issued by the NRC in the NFPA 805 LAR, and are marked up as described in Section 2.2 of Enclosure 1.
Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment M - License Condition Changes PINGP Page M Revision 2 NSPM Proposes to replace the current PINGP fire protection license conditions 2.C.(4) for Units 1 and 2 with the standard license condition in Regulatory Position 3.1 of Regulatory Guide 1.205, as modified as shown in the proposed markups that follow.
It is NSPMs understanding that implicit in the replacement of the current license condition, all prior fire protection program SERs and commitments will be superseded in their entirety by the revised license condition.
No other license conditions need to be replaced or revised.
NSPM implemented the following process for determining that these are the only license conditions required to be either revised or superseded to implement the new fire protection program which meets the requirements in 10 CFR 50.48(a) and 50.48(c):
A review was conducted of the PINGP Unit 1 Renewed License Number DPR-42, through Amendment No. 205 and Unit 2 Renewed License Number DPR-60, through Amendment No. 192. The review was performed by reading the Operating License and performing electronic searches. Outstanding LARs that have been submitted to the NRC were also reviewed for potential impact on the license conditions.

A problem statement, Risk ranking of the modification, An indication if the modification is currently included in the FPRA, Compensatory Measure in place if non-compliant with the Current Licensing Basis, and A risk-informed characterization of the modification and compensatory measure.
The following legend should be used when reviewing the Risk Rank in Tables S-1 and S-2:
o High = Modification would have an appreciable impact on reducing overall fire CDF.
o Medium = Modification would have a measurable impact on reducing overall fire CDF.
o Low = Modification would have either an insignificant or no impact on reducing overall fire CDF.
o N/A = Not modeled in the FPRA, therefore a risk ranking is not provided.
NSPM is requesting two full refueling cycles beyond SE issuance to fully implement modifications. This is, in part, due to the outage strategies implemented at PINGP where only one train is removed from service per outage, per unit. Due to the significant modifications required to transition PINGP to NFPA 805, additional time is necessary to fully implement modifications described in Table S-2.
The Proposed Modification statements in Table S-2 provide a conceptual design to address the Problem Statement. The final design and installation to resolve the Problem Statement will be developed and approved in accordance with Xcel Engineering processes, hence implementation details may vary.
Subsequent to approval of the NFPA 805 amendment on August 8, 2017, NSPM has completed modifications listed in Table S-2. However, those completed modifications have not been moved from Table S-2 to Table S-1 in this revision of Attachment S. This was done in order to limit the changes to Attachment S to only those five modifications which NSPM is requesting to delete in its license amendment request dated May 18, 2018.

Modifications and Implementation Items 31 Pages Attached Attachment S, Revision 4, supersedes Attachment S, Revision 3, provided in the RAI response dated December 14, 2016
Northern States Power - Minnesota Attachment S - Modifications and Implementation Items PINGP Page S Revision 4 Tables S-1, Plant Modifications Completed, and S-2, Plant Modifications Committed, provided below, include a description of the modifications along with the following information:
A problem statement, Risk ranking of the modification, An indication if the modification is currently included in the FPRA, Compensatory Measure in place if non-compliant with the Current Licensing Basis, and A risk-informed characterization of the modification and compensatory measure.
The following legend should be used when reviewing the Risk Rank in Tables S-1 and S-2:
o High = Modification would have an appreciable impact on reducing overall fire CDF.
o Medium = Modification would have a measurable impact on reducing overall fire CDF.
o Low = Modification would have either an insignificant or no impact on reducing overall fire CDF.
o N/A = Not modeled in the FPRA, therefore a risk ranking is not provided.
NSPM is requesting two full refueling cycles beyond SE issuance to fully implement modifications. This is, in part, due to the outage strategies implemented at PINGP where only one train is removed from service per outage, per unit. Due to the significant modifications required to transition PINGP to NFPA 805, additional time is necessary to fully implement modifications described in Table S-2.
The Proposed Modification statements in Table S-2 provide a conceptual design to address the Problem Statement. The final design and installation to resolve the Problem Statement will be developed and approved in accordance with Xcel Engineering processes, hence implementation details may vary.
Subsequent to approval of the NFPA 805 amendment on August 8, 2017, NSPM has completed modifications listed in Table S-2. However, those completed modifications have not been moved from Table S-2 to Table S-1 in this revision of Attachment S. This was done in order to limit the changes to Attachment S to only those five modifications which NSPM is requesting to delete in its license amendment request dated May 18, 2018.

Low 1,2 Fire Suppression required for the Fire PRA was not code compliant, as required by NFPA 805, for the following Fire Areas: FA 18, 41B, 31, &
- 32.
Modified fire suppression systems in the following fire areas to resolve NFPA Suppression code deviations as follows:
FA 18: Installed an odorizer for the Cardox System.
FA 31: Resolved non-compliances with pendant sprinkler heads.
FA 32: Resolved non-compliances with pendant sprinkler heads.
FA 41B: Installed missing Sprinkler #229.
FA 41B: Installed Heat Activated Detector (HAD) in the enclosure for the 121 Motor Driven Fire Pump.
FA 41B: Installed a sprinkler head above the Diesel Driven Fire Pump because of a large obstruction.
(Ref: EC 21578)
From Table S-2, Item 9 No N/A The proposed modification reduced risk by allowing the Fire PRA to credit fire suppression systems in the listed Fire Areas. Per the 2009 ASME PRA Standard, fire suppression systems must be code compliant if they are credited in the Fire PRA.

A fire in Fire Area 69 could damage cables that supply power to ventilation fans for D2 Emergency Diesel Generator supply to Train B safeguards Bus 16. A fire in Fire Area 69 could also damage cables required for offsite power to Bus 15 and Bus 16.
Fire Area 29 and 69 were defined as separate areas in the 1977 Fire Hazards Analysis that was submitted to the NRC and accepted.
There is an open pathway between Fire Area 29 and 69; therefore the Fire PRA Plant Partitioning combined Fire Area 29 and 69 (along with 8, 14, 27, and 70) into Fire Compartment 8GRP. Risk for Fire Compartment 8GRP was high when all of these areas were combined.
Installed a rated fire barrier between Fire Area 29 and Fire Area 69.
(Ref: EC 21574)
From Table S-2, Item 12 Yes N/A This modification reduced fire risk by providing a rated fire barrier between risk significant cables and fire initiators.

A fire in the control room or relay room could have caused hot shorts on cables that could spuriously start D1 and close the cooling water supply valve. This condition resulted in unrecoverable damage to the credited Emergency Diesel Generator during a fire induced control room evacuation.
Wired additional relay contacts from the low speed relay in series with indicating light in the control room so that once D1 speed was greater than 250 RPM, the potential hot short on the indicating light in the control room is cleared.
(Ref: EC 18746)
From Table S-2, Item 13 Yes N/A This modification reduced risk by eliminating the possibility that a hot short on a cable in the Control and Relay Room could isolate cooling water to D1 Emergency Diesel Generator 16 N/A 1,2 The supply ventilation duct between Fire Areas 32 and 37 did not have a fire damper and was not code compliant for the Fire PRA, as required by NFPA 805.
Installed a fire damper in the supply ventilation duct between FA 32 and 37.
