In response, licensees installed a hardened vent pipe from the suppression pooi to some point outside the secondary containment envelope (usually outside the reactor building).
Some licensees also installed a hardened vent branch line from the dryweUl.On March 19, 2013, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Commissioners directed the staff per Staff Requirements Memorandum (SRM) for SECY-12-0 157 (Reference
- 26) to require licensees with Mark I and Mark II containments to "upgrade or replace the reliable hardened vents required by Order EA-12-050 with a containment venting system designed and installed to remain functional during severe accident conditions.'
In response, the NRC issued Order EA-13-109, Issuance of Order to Modify Licenses with Regard to Reliable Hardened Containment Vents Capable of Operation Undter Severe Accidents, June 6, 2013 (Reference 4). The Order (EA-13-109) requires that licensees of BWR facilities with Mark I and Mark II containment designs ensure that these facilities have a reliable hardened vent to remove decay heat from the containment, and maintain control of containment pressure within acceptable limits following events that result in the loss of active containment heat removal capability while maintaining the capability to operate under severe accident (SA) conditions resulting from an Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP).The Order requirements are applied in a phased approach where:* "Phase 1 involves upgrading the venting capabilities from the containment wetwell to provide reliable, severe accident capable hardened vents to assist in preventing core damage and, if necessary, to provide venting capability during severe accident conditions." (Completed "no later than staltup from the second refueling outage that begins after June 30, 2014, or June 30, 2018, whichever comes first.")*"Phase 2 involves providing additional protections for severe accident conditions through instailation of a reliable, severe accident capable drywell vent system or the development of a reliable containment venting strategy that makes it unlikely that a licensee would need to vent from the containment drywell during severe accident conditions." (Completed "no later than startup from the first refueling outage that begins after June 30, 2017, or June 30, 2019, whichever comes first.")The NRC provided an acceptable approach for complying with Order EA-13-109 through Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) (JLD-ISG-2013-02) issued in November 2013 (Reference
- 6) and JLD-ISG-2015-01 issued in April 2015 (Reference 31). The IS Gs endorse the compliance approach presented in NEI 13-02 Revisions 0 and 1, Compliance with Order EA-13-109, Severe Accident Reliable Hardened Containment Vents (Reference 9), with clarifications.
Except in those cases in which a licensee proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with Order EA-13-109, the NRC staff will use the methods described in these ISGs to evaluate licensee compliance as presented in submittals required in Order EA-13-109.
The Order also requires submittal of an overall integrated plan which will provide a description of how the requirements of the Order will be achieved.
This document provides the Overall Integrated Plan (OIP)for complying with Order EA-13-109 using the methods described in NEI 13-02 and endorsed by NRC JLD-ISG-2013-02 and JLD-ISG-2015-01.
Six month progress reports will be provided consistent with the requirements of Order EA- 13-109.Page 2 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents The submittals required are:* OIP for Phase 1 of EA-13.-109 was required to be submitted by Licensees to the NRC by June 30, 2014. The NRC requires periodic (6-month) updates for the HCVS actions being taken. The first update for Phase 1 was due December 2014, with the second due June 2015.* OIP for Phase 2 of EA-13-109 is required to be submitted by Licensees to the NRC by December 31, 2015. It is expected the December 2015 six month update for Phase 1 will be combined with the Phase 20OP submittal by means of a combined Phase 1 and 20IO.*Thereafter, the 6-month updates will be for both the Phase 1 and Phase 2 actions until complete, consistent with the requirements of Order EA-13-109.
Note: Per the Generic OIP, at the Licensee's option, the December 2015 six month update for Phase 1 may be independent of the Phase 20OIP submittal, but will require separate six month updates for Phases 1 and 2 until each phase is in compliance.
Exelon has not selected this option.The Dresden venting actions for the EA-13-109, Phase 1 severe accident capable venting scenario can be summarized by the following:
- The Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) will be initiated via manual action from either the Main Control Room (MCR) or from a Remote Operating Station (ROS) at the appropriate time based on procedural guidance in response to plant conditions from observed or derived symptoms.
The ROS capabilities are limited to the Order EA-13-109 Requirement 1.2.5.Specifically, in case the HCVS flow path valves or the Argon purge flow cannot be opened from the MCR, the ROS provides a back-up means of opening the valve(s) that does not require electrical power or control circuitry.
- The vent will utilize Containment Parameters of Pressure and Suppression Pool Level from the MCR instrumentation to monitor effectiveness of the venting actions.*The vent operation will be monitored by HCVS valve position, temperature and effluent radiation levels.*The HCVS motive force will be monitored and have the capacity to operate for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> with installed equipment (EA-13-109, 1.2.6). Replenishment of the motive force will be by use of portable equipment prior to the installed motive force being exhausted.
- Venting actions will be capable of being maintained for a sustained period of up to 7 days (NEI 13-02, 4.2.2.1.1).
The Phase 2 actions can be summarized as follows:*Utilization of Severe Accident Water Addition (SAWA) to initially inject water into the Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV). Although SAWA to the Drywell (DW) is an option, Exelon is planning SAWA injection to the RPV.*Utilization of Severe Accident Water Management (SAWM) to control injection and Suppression Pool level to ensure the HCVS (Phase 1) wetwell vent (SAWV) will remain functional for the removal of decay heat from containment.
Page 3 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents*Ensure that the decay heat can be removed from the containment for seven (7) days using the HCVS or describe the alternate method(s) to remove decay heat from the containment from the time the HCVS is no longer functional until alternate means of decay heat removal are established that make it unlikely the drywell vent will be required for DW pressure control.*The SAWA and SAWM actions will be manually activated and controlled from areas that are accessible during severe accident conditions.
- Parameters measured should be Drywell pressure, Suppression Pool level, SAWA flowrate and the HCVS parameters listed above.Note: Although EA-13-109 Phase 2 allows selecting SAWA and a Severe Accident Capable Drywell Vent (SADV) strategy, Exelon has selected SAWA and SAWM.Page 4 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 1: General Integrated Plan Elements and Assumptions Extent to which the guidance, JLD-ISG-2013-02, JLD-ISG-2015-01, and NET 13-02 (Revision 1), are being followed.
Identify any deviations.
Include a description of any alternatives to the guidance.
A technical justifi cation and basis for the alternative needs to be provided.
This will likely require a pre-meeting with the NRC to review the alternative.
Ref: JLD-ISG-2013-02, JLD-ISG-2015-01 Compliance will be attained for Dresden with no known deviations to the guidelines in JLD-ISG-2013-02, JLD-ISG-2015-01, and NEJ 13-02 for each phase as follows:* The Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) will be comprised of installed and portable equipment and operating guidance:* Severe Accident Wetwell Vent (SAWV) -Permanently installed vent from the Suppression Pool to the top of the Reactor Building.* Severe Accident Water Addition (SAWA) -A combination of permanently installed and portable equipment to provide a means to add water to the RPV following a severe accident and monitor system and plant conditions.
- Severe Accident Water Management (SAWM) strategies and guidance for controlling the water addition to the RPV for the sustained operating period. (Reference attachment 2.1 .D)* Unit 3 Phase 1 (wetwell):

....Page 5 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 1: General Integrated Plan Elements and Assumptions Provide key assumptions associated with implementation of HCVS Phase 1 Strategies.
Ref: NEI 13-02, Revision 1, Section 2 NEI 12-06 Revision 0 Mark Ji/I Generic HCVS Related Assumptions:
Applicable EA- 12-049 (Reference
- 3) assumptions:
049-1. Assumed initial plant conditions are as identified in NEI 12-06, §3.2.1.2, items 1 and 2 (Reference 8).049-2. Assumed initial conditions are as identified in NET 12-06, §3.2.1.3, items 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8 (Reference 8).049-3. Assumed reactor transient boundary conditions are as identified in NEI 12-06, §3.2.1.4, items 1, 2, 3 and 4.049-4. No additional events or failures are assumed to occur immediately prior to or during the event, including security events, except for the failure of Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) or High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI) (Reference NEI 12-06, §3.2.1.3, item 9 [8]).049-5. At time=0 the event is initiated and all rods insert and no other event beyond a common site ELAP is occurring at any or all of the units.049-6. At time=l hour (time sensitive at a time greater than 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />) an ELAP is declared and actions begin as defined in EA-12-049 compliance.
049-7. DC power and distribution can be credited for the duration determined per the EA-12-049 (FLEX)methodology for station battery usage, (greater than approximately 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> with a calculated limiting value of approximately 6 hrs., EC Eval. 391973) (NEI 12-06, section 3.2.1.3 item 8).049-8. Deployment resources are assumed to begin arriving at hour 6 and fully staffed by 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.049-9. All activities associated with EA-12-049 (FLEX) that are not specific to implementation of the HCVS, including such items as debris removal, communication, notifications, Spent Fuel Pool (SFP) level and makeup, security response, opening doors for cooling, and initiating conditions for the events, can be credited as previously evaluated for FLEX. (Refer to assumption 109-02 below for clarity on SAWA)(HCVS-FAQ-1 1)Applicable EA-13-109 (Reference
- 4) generic assumptions:
109-1. Site response activities associated with EA-13-109 actions are considered to have no access limitations associated with radiological conditions while Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) level is above 2/3 core height (core damage is not expected).
This is further addressed in HCVS-FAQ-12.
109-2. Portable equipment can supplement the installed equipment after 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> provided the portable equipment credited meets the criteria applicable to the HCVS. An example is use of FLEX portable air supply equipment that is credited to recharge air lines for HCVS components after 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. The FLEX portable air supply used must be demonstrated to meet the "SA Capable" criteria that are defined in NEI 13-02 Section 4.2.4.2 and Appendix D Section D.l.3 (Reference 9). This assumption does not apply to Phase 2 SAWA/SAWM because SAWA equipment needs to be connected and placed in service within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> from the time of the loss of RPV injection. (Reference HCVS-FAQ-12).
109-3. SFP Level is maintained with either on-site or off-site resources such that the SFP does not contribute to the analyzed source term (Reference HCVS-FAQ-07
[18]).109-4. Existing containment components design and testing values are governed by existing plant containment Page 6 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 1: General Integrated Plan Elements and Assumptions criteria (e.g., Appendix J) and are not subject to the testing criteria from NEI 13-02 (Reference HCVS-FAQ-05 [16] and NET 13-02, §6.2.2 [9]).109-5. Classical design basis evaluations and assumptions are not required when assessing the operation of the HCVS. The reason that this is not required is that the order postulates an unsuccessful mitigation of an event such that an ELAP progresses to a severe accident with ex-vessel core debris that classical design basis evaluations are intended to prevent (Reference NEI 13-02, §2.3.1 [9]).109-6. HCVS manual actions require minimal operator steps and can be performed in the postulated thermal radiological environment at the location of the step(s) (e.g., load stripping, control switch manipulation, valving-in nitrogen bottles) are acceptable to obtain HCVS venting dedicated functionality (Reference HCVS-FAQ-0l[12]).
This assumption does not apply to Phase 2 SAWA/SAWM because SAWA equipment needs to be connected and placed in service within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> from the time of the loss of RPV injection and will require more than minimal operator action.109-7. HCVS dedicated equipment is defined as vent process elements that are required for the HCVS to function in an ELAP event that progresses to core melt ex-vessel (Reference HCVS-FAQ-02
[13] and White Paper HCVS-WP-01
[21]). This assumption does not apply to Phase 2 SAWA/SAWM because SAWA equipment is not dedicated to HCVS but shared to support FLEX functions.
This is further addressed in HCVS-FAQ-il1.
109-8. Use of MAAP Version 4 or higher provides adequate assurance of the plant conditions (e.g., RPV water level, temperatures, etc.) assumed for Order EA-13-109 Beyond Design Basis External Event (BDBEE) and SA HCVS operation (Reference FLEX MAAP Endorsement ML13190A201
[29]). Additional analysis using RELAP5/MOD 3, GOTHIC, and MICROSHIELD, etc., are acceptable methods for evaluating environmental conditions in other portions of the plant, provided that the specific version utilized is documented in the analysis.
MAAP Version 5 was used to develop EPRI Technical Report 3002003301 to support diywell temperature response to SAWA under severe accident conditions.
109-9. NRC Published Accident evaluations (e.g., SOARCA, SECY-12-0157, NUREG 1465) as related to Order EA-13-109 conditions are acceptable as references (Reference NEI 13-02, §8 [9]).109-10. Permanent modifications installed or planned per EA-12-049 are assumed implemented and may be credited for use in Order EA-13-109 response.109-11. This Overall Integrated Plan is based on Emergency Operating Procedure (EOP) changes consistent with Emergency Procedures Guidelines/Severe Accident Guidelines (EPG/SAGs)
Revision 3 as incorporated per the site's EOP/Severe Accident Procedure (SAP) procedure change process. This assumption does not apply to Phase 2 SAWM because SAWM is not part of revision 3. (Refer to Attachment 2.1.D for SAWM SAMG changes approved by the BWROG Emergency Procedures Committee.)
109-12. Under the postulated scenarios of Order EA-13-109, the Main Control Room is adequately protected from excessive radiation dose as per General Design Criterion (GDC) 19 in 10CFR50 Appendix A and no further evaluation of its use as the preferred HCVS control location is required provided that the HCVS routing is a sufficient distance away from the MCR or is shielded to minimize impact to the MCR dose. In addition, adequate protective clothing and protection are available if required to address contamination issues (Reference HCVS-FAQ-0l
[12] and HCVS-FAQ-09).
109-13. The suppression pool/wetwell of a BWR Mark I/II containment is considered to be hounded by assuming a saturated environment for the duration of the event response because of the water/steam interactions.
Page 7 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 1: General Integrated Plan Elements and Assumptions 109-14. RPV depressurization is directedt by the EPGs in all cases prior to entry into the SAGs. (reference NEI 13-02 Rev 1 §1.1.3)109-15. The Severe Accident impacts are assumed on one unit only due to the site compliance with NRC Order EA-12-049. However, each BWR Mk I and II under the assumptions of NRC Order EA-13-109 ensure the capability to protect containment exists for each unit. (HCVS-FAQ-01)
This is further addressed in HCVS-FAQ-10.Plant Specific HCVS Related Assumptions/Characteristics:
Dresden-i Provided Severe Accident (SA) conditions are not reached EA- 12-049 (FLEX) actions to restore power are sufficient to ensure continuous operation of non-dedicated containment instrumentation identified in Part 2 (Key Venting Parameters) of this OIP. Modifications that allow a FLEX generator to recharge the HCVS battery are assumed to have been installed such that a FLEX generator can be credited for HCVS operation beyond the initial 24-hour sustained operational period. If SA conditions are reached, these non-dedicated containment instruments will be monitored by use of hand held, test instrumentation that rely on small batteries, and Dresden will provide a small portable generator to maintain HCVS battery charge beyond the initial 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.Dresden -2 In case of a severe flood warning, the Dresden units will be shutdown and cooldown (per procedure DOA 00 10-04) prior to the flooding causing an ELAP. The shutdown and cooldown prior to the ELAP will significantly reduce the decay heat that would have to be removed by the Isolation Condenser System (ICS) or, in case of a failure of the ICS, by the HCVS. Dresden will evaluate what actions may be necessary to ensure the WW venting path remains viable following a severe flood. Reactor building dewatering strategy is under development and will be updated in the next 6-month update (Ref. ISF Open Item 2).Dresden -3 The Plant layout of buildings and structures are depicted in Sketches 2B and 2C. Note the Main Control Room is located at Control Building elevation 534'. The Control Building has substantial structural walls and features independent of the Reactor Building.
The HCVS vent routing external to the Reactor Building is indicated on Sketch 2-C. The external piping is vertical with the exception of the point at which it exits the Reactor Building.Dresden -4 The HCVS external piping is all above 30-feet from ground level and it consists solely of large bore (10-inches nominal diameter piping and its piping supports (EC 400578). The external piping has less than 300 square feet of cross section. The HCVS external piping meets the reasonable protection requirements of HCVS-WP-04.
The external support structure used to support the HCVS piping is analyzed to the Dresden design basis tornado missiles to preclude a failure of the tower due to tornado winds and missiles.Page 8 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent Provide a sequence of events and identify any time or environmental constraint required for success including the basis for the constraint.
HCVS Actions that have a time constraint to be successful should be identified with a technical basis and a justification provided that the tine can reasonably be met (for example, action to open vent valves).HCVS Actions that have an environmental constraint (e.g. actions in areas of High Thermal stress or High Dose areas) should be evaluated per guidance.Describe in detail in this section the technical basis for the constraints identified on the sequence of events timneline attachment.
See attached sequence of events tirneline (Attachment 2A ).Ref: EA-13-109 Section 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3 / NEI 13-02 Section 4.2.5, 4.2.6. 6.1.1 The containment purge exhaust at each Dresden unit consists of a wetwell primary containment isolation valve (PCIV), a DW PCIV, and a common downstream PCIV. The HCVS flow path will utilize portions of this system. The HCVS will connect between the two containment purge exhaust PCIVs. Consequently, the HCVS flow path will share the upstream PCIVs with the containment purge system, but it will have a downstream PCIV dedicated to the HCVS flow path. The new HCVS flow path will have a rupture disc downstream of the last PCIV on the HCVS line to serve as the secondary containment leakage barrier.Each unit will have piping that is totally separate from the other unit and with no interconnected systems downstream of the new downstream PCIV. The discharge from each unit is routed separately and discharges above the unit's Reactor Building roof.The two Dresden units will have a dedicated motive power (Pressurized N2) for HCVS valves, Argon Purge system, and DC power for HCVS components that, except for battery charging after 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, does not rely on FLEX (EC 400578).Existing containment instruments (pressure and suppression pool level) are not considered HCVS components and power will be maintained through the actions for EA-12-049 for non-severe accident conditions or using test equipment during severe accident conditions.
The operation of the HCVS will be designed to minimize the reliance on operator actions in response to hazards listed in Part 1. Initial operator actions will be completed by trained plant personnel and will include the capability for remote-manual initiation from the HCVS control station. A list of the remote manual actions performed by plant personnel to open the HCVS vent path can be found in the following table (Table 2-1). A HCVS ELAP Failure Evaluation table, which shows alternate actions that can be performed, is included in Attachment 4.Table 2-1 HCVS Remote Manual Actions Page 9 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent Primary Action Primary Location!/

Page 10 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent Attachment 2A, Sequence of Events Timeline, was developed to identify required operator response times and potential environmental constraints.
This timeline is based upon the following three sequences:
- 1. Sequence 1 is based upon the action response times developed for FLEX when utilizing anticipatory venting in a BDBEE without core damage. Containment venting is not required for Dresden FLEX response since the Isolation Condenser System (ICS) removes all the decay heat from the reactor and the containment does not become pressurized enough to require venting.Dresden does not have a RCIC system but it has a steam driven High Pressure Coolant Injection System (HPCI).2. Sequence 2 is based on SECY-12-0157 long-term station blackout (LTSBO) (or ELAP) with a failure of RCIC after a black start where failure occurs because of subjectively assuming over injection.
It is used for Dresden to represent a late failure of the ICS and HPCI. Late failure of the ICS is due to the assumption that FLEX fails to provide make-up water to the ICS.3. Sequence 3 is based on NUREG-1935 (SOARCA) results for a prolonged SBO (or ELAP) with loss of RCIC case without black start. For Dresden, this represents that the ICS fails after its initial water volume is expended (i.e., no FLEX make-up to the ICS), and the HPCI fails early at a pool temperature of 140°F [MAAP case 8].The following is a discussion of time constraints identified in Attachment 2A for the 3 timeline sequences identified above:* With case 1 (ICS operating), HCVS operation is not required since the only heat input into the containment is from RCS leaks and ambient losses to the environment.
- For case 3 (limiting case), in approximately 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />, initiate use of Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) per site procedures to maintain containment parameters below the lower of Primary Containment Pressure Limit (PCPL) or contalnment design pressure.Reliable operation of HCVS will be met because HCVS meets the seismic requirements
- identified in NEl 13-02, will be powered by DC power from a dedicated power source, and HCVS valves are supplied with motive force from portable nitrogen bottles. HCVS controls and instrumentation and controls will be DC powered. HCVS valve motive force is from pressurized gas. Valves will be operable from the HCVS control panel in the MCR. DC power and motive air will be available for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> from permanent sources. Containment pressure and WW indication will initially be powered from existing lE Station battery. If SA conditions are not reached, these containment indications will be maintained by FLEX generators.
If SA conditions are reached, these indications will be monitored by hand held instruments powered from small batteries.
Thus, initiation of the HCVS from the MCR or the Remote Operating Station within approximately 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> is acceptable because the actions can be performed any time after declaration of an ELAP until the venting is needed at approximately 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> for BDBEE venting. This action can also be performed for SA HCVS operation which occurs at a time further removed from an FLAP declaration as shown in Attachment 2.*Within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, the permanently installed nitrogen bottles at the ROS will be replaced, as required, to maintain sustained operation or alternatively a portable compressor will be connect at the ROS. Typical of all activities required at 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, this can be performed at Page 11 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent any time prior to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> to ensure adequate capacity is maintained so this time constraint is not limiting.*Within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, the permanently installed Argon bottles at the ROS will be replaced, as required, to maintain sustained operation.
Note that purging is only required if venting hydrogen following severe accident conditions.
- Within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, a generator will be installed and connected to recharge the dedicated HCVS power supply to maintain sustalned operation.
Under non-SA conditions this will be the FLEX generator.
Under SA conditions this will be a small, portable generator.
- Current Dresden station battery durations are calculated to last 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />. if SA conditions are not reached, FLEX pre-staged DG will be in service 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> after an event (Reference FLEX 0TP). Modifications will be implemented to facilitate the connections and operational actions required to supply power within approximately 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />. Thus, under non-SA conditions, the FLEX DGs will be available to be placed in service at any point after approximately 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> as required to supply power to containment parameters (containment pressure and WW level). A FLEX DG will be maintained and used in on-site FLEX storage buildings.
For the flood event, the DG will be transferred and staged via haul routes and staging areas evaluated for impact from external hazards.Discussion of radiological, temperature.
other environmental constraints identified in Attachment 2A*Actions to initiate HCVS operation are taken from the MCR or from the ROS in the Turbine Building.
Both locations have significant shielding and/or physical separation fr'om radiological sources. Non-radiological habitability for the MCR is being addressed as part of the Dresden FLEX response.
The ROS location in the Turbine Building has no heat sources.*Before the end of the initial 24-hour period, replenishment of the HCVS dedicated DC power, Argon purge gas, and PCIV motive power (pressurized gas) will occur at the ROS. The selection of the ROS location will take into account the SA temperature and radiation condition to ensure access to the ROS is maintained.
The design will allow replenishment with minimal actions.ISE Open Item -12: Confirm that the ROS will be in an area accessible following a SA.Provide Details on the Vent characteristics.

Demonstration of the seismic reliability of the instrumentation through methods that predict performance by analysis, qualification testing under simulated seismic conditions, a combination of testing and analysis, or the use of experience data. Guidance for these is based on sections 7, 8, 9, and 10 of IEEE Standard 344-2004, "'IEEE Recommended Practice for Seismic Qualification of Class JE Equipment for Nuclear Power Generating Stations,'" or a substantially similar industrial standtard could be used.Demonstration that the instrumentation is substantially similar in design to instrumentation that has been previously tested to seismic loading levels in accordance with the plant design basis at the location where the instrument is to be installed (g-levels and frequency ranges). Such testing and analysis should be similar to that performed for the plant licensing basis.Page 14 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent Vent Size and Basis The HCVS flow path is designed for venting steanm/energy from the suppression pooi at a nominal capacity of 1% of the currently licensed power, 2957 MWt thermal power at pressure of 62 psig (UFSAR Table 1.2-1). This pressure is the lower of the containment design pressure and the PCPL value assuming nominal torus water level. The nominal diameter is 18-inches through the shared upstream PCTV that is shared with the containment purge exhaust and 10-inches for the downstream portion. The 10-inch diameter portion includes the downstream PCIV and rupture disc. Refer to Sketch 2A, the P&TD. This line has been verified to meet the Order criteria for 1%.Vent Capacity The 1% value at Dresden assumes that the suppression pooi pressure suppression capacity is sufficient to absorb the decay heat generated during the first 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br />. The vent would then be able to prevent containment pressure from increasing above the containment design pressure.
As part of the detailed design, the duration of suppression pool decay heat absorption capability was confirmed to exceed 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> (Reference 37, MAAP).Vent Path and Discharge The Dresden station HCVS vent path will consist of a separate wetwell vent for each unit. The upstream portion consists of 18-inch nominal diameter piping and the upstream PCIV that is shared with the torus containment purge exhaust path. The downstream portion consists of 10-inch nominal diameter piping and includes the downstream PCIV and the rupture disc. The downstream PCTV and rupture disc are dedicated to the HCVS function.
The rupture disc is credited as the secondary containment isolation barrier. The 10-inch diameter vent line is initially routed vertically with the Reactor Building and then horizontally through the Reactor Building wall at elevation 591', which is approximately 74 feet above nominal plant ground elevation (EC 401069, DWG M-1 194A-1). This line is then routed vertically on the outside of the Reactor Building to a point above the top of the Reactor Building.
There are no interconnected systems downstream of the second PCIVs and there is no sharing of any flow path between the two units.The HCVS discharge path is being routed to a point above any adjacent structure.
This discharge point is just above that unit's Reactor Building and will follow the guidance of FAQ- HCVS-04 (Reference
- 15) to the extent reasonably possible such that the release point will vent away from emergency ventilation system intake and exhaust openings, main control room location, location of HCVS portable equipment, access routes required following a ELAP and BDBEE, and emergency response facilities; however, these must be considered in conjunction with other design criteria (e.g., flow capacity) and pipe routing limitations, to the degree practical.
The external vertical piping for the two units will be run in close proximity to each other to allow a common external support structure.
The external piping meets the criteria for tornado missile reasonable protection (refer to Dresden Assumption 4).Power and Pneumatic Supply Sources All electrical power required for operation of HCVS components will be from a dedicated HVCS DC battery source with permanently installed capacity for the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> and design provisions for recharging to maintain sustained operation.
Motive (pneumatic) power to the HCVS valves is provided by a dedicated bank of N2 gas bottles with permanently installed capacity for the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> and design provisions for replacing bottles and/or Page 15 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent connecting a portable compressor to maintain sustained operation.
The initial stored motive air/gas will allow for a minimum of 8 vent cycles for the HCVS valves for the first 24-hours.
The 8 vent cycles is defined as initially opening all valves in the wetwell flow path, and then shutting and reopening one of the valves in the flow paths.1. The HCVS flow path valves are air-operated valves (AOV). The existing, upstream PCIV is air-to-open and air-to-shut.
The new downstream PCIV will be air-to-open and spring-to-shut.
Opening the valves from the HCVS control panel located in the MCR requires energizing a DC powered solenoid operated valve (SOV) and providing motive air/gas.2. An assessment of temperature and radiological conditions will be performed to ensure that operating personnel can safely access and operate controls at the Remote Operating Station based on time constraints listed in Attachment 2.3. All permanently installed HCVS equipment, including any connections required to supplement the HCVS operation during an ELAP (i.e., DC power, Argon purge gas, and motive force [pressurized N2/air]) will be located in areas reasonably protected from defined hazards listed in Part 1 of this report.47All valves required to open the flow path will be designed for remote manual operation following an ELAP, such that the primary means of valve manipulation does not rely on use of a handwheel, reach-rod or similar means that requires close proximity to the valve (reference FAQ HCVS-03).The preferred method is opening from the MCR through the control switch that energizes the AOV's SOV. The back-up method for new valves is from the ROS by repositioning valves on the pneumatic supply; this allows opening and closing of a valve from the ROS without reliance on any electrical power or control circuit. Accessibility to the ROS will be verified during the detailed design.5. Any supplemental connections will be pre-engineered to minimize man-power resources and address environmental concerns.
Required portable equipment will be reasonably protected from screened in hazards listed in Part 1 of this OIP.6. Access to the locations described above will not require temporary ladders or scaffolding.
Location of Control Panels The HCVS design allows initiating and then operating and monitoring the HCVS from the Main Control Room (MCR) and in addition, opening PCTVs and the Argon purge system from the ROS in case of a DC circuit failure. The tentative location for the ROS is 561 foot elevation Turbine Building.
The MCR location is protected from adverse natural phenomena and it is the normal control point for Plant Emergency Response actions. The ROS will be evaluated to ensure acceptable temperature and dose consequences.
Hydroigen As required by EA-13-109, Section 1.2.11, the HCVS design will include an Argon purge system that will be connected just downstream of the second PCIV. It will be designed to prevent hydrogen detonation downstream of the second PCIV. The Argon purge system will have a switch for the control valve in the MCR to allow opening the purge for the designated time, but it will also allow for local operation in the ROS in case of a DC power or control circuit failure. The Argon purge will only be utilized following severe accident conditions when hydrogen is being vented. The installed capacity for the Argon purge Page 16 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent system will be sized for at least 8 purges within the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of the ELAP. This number of vent cycles is the same value used for sizing the PC1V motive air supply. The design will allow for Argon bottle replacement for continued operation past 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.The Argon purge system can also be used to breach the rupture disc if venting is required before reaching the rupture disc setpoint.
The MCR panel will include an indication of Argon pressure to the HCVS path to verify that the Argon purge system flow is occurring.
Unintended Cross Flow of Vented Fluids Refer to Sketch 2A, the HCVS P&IID. The HCVS piping in each unit is totally independent of the other unit's HCVS flow path. The upstream 18-inch nominal diameter portion isolates any interconnected, non-HCVS systems in that unit through normally shut, air-operated PCIVs that, if open, will automatically shut.The downstream dedicated 10-inch portion does not have any interconnected systems. This precludes unintended cross flow of vented fluids.Prevention of Inadvertent Actuation EOP/ERG operating procedures provide clear guidance that the HCVS is not to be used to defeat containment integrity during any design basis transients and accident.
In addition, the HCVS will be designed to provide features to prevent inadvertent actuation due to a design error, equipment malfunction, or operator error such that any credited containment accident pressure (CAP) that would provide net positive suction head to the emergency core cooling system (ECCS) pumps will be available (inclusive of a design basis loss-of-coolant accident (DBLOCA)).
However, the ECCS pumps will not have normal power available because of the starting boundary conditions of an ELAP.Note that Dresden credits CAP for its DBLOCA. Preventing inadvertent operation is addressed.
The features that prevent inadvertent actuation are two PCI Vs in series with a downstream rupture disc. The downstream PCIV is a normally shut, fail-shut AOV dedicated to the HCVS function.
This valve is air to open; spring to shut that requires energizing a SOV to allow the motive air to open the valve. This PCTV is controlled by its own key-locked switch. In addition, the DC power to its SOV and the motive air supplied will normally be disabled to prevent inadvertent operation.
Component Qualifications The HCVS components and components that interface with the HCVS are routed in seismically qualified structures.
HCVS components that are part of the containment pressure boundary will be safety-related.
The containment system limits the leakage or release of radioactive materials to the environment to prevent offsite exposures from exceeding the guidelines of 10 CFR 100. During normal or design basis operations, this means serving as a pressure boundary to prevent release of radioactive material.
HCVS components downstream of the containment pressure boundary (i.e., downstream of the downstream PCIV) will not be safety-related.
The HCVS components (SOVs and instrumentation) will be powered from a normally de-energized, dedicated power supply that will not be safety-related but will be considered Augmented Quality.However, if any HCVS electrical or controls component interfaces with Class 1E power sources, it will he considered safety related up to and including appropriate isolation devices such as fuses or breakers, as their failure could adversely impact containment isolation and/or a safety-related power source. Newly installed piping and valves will be seismically analyzed to handle the forces associated with the Plant's Design Basis Seismic Requirements back to their isolation boundaries.
Electrical and controls components Page 17 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent will be seismically analyzed and will include the ability to handle harsh environmental conditions (although they will not be considered part of the site Environmental Qualification (EQ) program).HCVS instrumentation performance (e.g., accuracy and precision) need not exceed that of similar plant installed equipment.
Additionally, radiation monitoring instrumentation accuracy and range will be sufficient to determine core conditions (i.e., no core damage thru severe core damage). The HCVS instruments, including valve position indication, process instrumentation, radiation monitoring, and support system monitoring, will be qualified by using one or more of the three methods described in the ISG, which includes: 1. Purchase of instruments and supporting components with known operating principles from manufacturers with commercial quality assurance programs (e.g., 1S09001) where the procurement specifications include the applicable seismic requirements, design requirements, and applicable testing.2.

- The specific qualification method used for each required HCVS instrument will be reported in future 6-month status reports.[ISE OPEN ITEM-15: Complete evaluation for HCVS instrumentation qualification.]
Monitoring of HCVS The Dresden wetwell HCVS will be capable of being remote-manually operated during sustained operations from a control panel located in the main control room (MCR) and will meet the requirements of Order element 1.2.4. The MCR is a readily accessible location with no further evaluation required (Generic Assumption 109-12). Additionally, to meet the requirement of EA-13-109 Section 1.2.5, an accessible Remote Operating Station (ROS) will also be incorporated into the HCVS design as described in NEI 13-02 section 4.2.2.1.2.1.
The controls and indications at the ROS location will be accessible and functional under a range of plant conditions, including severe accident conditions with due consideration to source term and dose impact on operator exposure, extended loss of AC power (ELAP), and inadequate containment cooling. An evaluation will be performed to determine accessibility to the ROS location, habitability, staffing sufficiency, and communication capability with Vent-use decision makers.Page 18 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent The wetwell HCVS will include means to monitor the status of the vent system in the MCR and to monitor DC power, Argon pressure, and N2 pressure at the ROS. The proposed design for the HCVS includes control switches in the MCR with valve position indication.
The HCVS controls will meet the environmental and seismic requirements of the Order for the plant severe accident with an ELAP. The ability to open/close these valves multiple times during the event's first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> will be provided by dedicated motive air and DC power. Beyond the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, the ability to maintain these valves open or closed will be maintained by sustaining the motive air and DC power.The wetwell HCVS will include indications for vent pipe temperature and effluent radiation levels at the MCR. Other important information on the status of supporting systems, (i.e., DC power source status, Argon purge gas pressure and pneumatic supply pressure), will also be included in the design and located to support HCVS operation.
Other instrumentation that supports HCVS function will be provided in the MCR. This includes existing containment pressure and suppression pool level indication.
This instrumentation is not required to validate HCVS function and is therefore not powered from the dedicated HCVS batteries.
However, these instruments are expected to be available since (a) under non-SA conditions the FLEX DG supplies the station battery charger for these instruments and will be installed prior to depletion of the station batteries and (b) under SA conditions, they will be monitored using hand-held test equipment.
Component reliable and rugged performance Unless otherwise required to be safety-related, Augmented Quality requirements will be applied to the components installed in response to this Order.The HCVS downstream of the second containment isolation valve, including piping and supports, electrical power supply, valve actuator pneumatic supply, and instrumentation (local and remote) components, will be designed/analyzed to conform to the requirements consistent with the applicable design codes (e.g., Non-safety, Seismic Category 1, B31.l) for the plant and to ensure functionality following a design basis earthquake.
Additional modifications required to meet the Order will provide reliability at the postulated vent pipe conditions (temperature, pressure, and radiation levels). The instrumentation/power supplies/cables/connections (components) will be qualified for temperature, pressure, radiation level, total integrated dose radiation appropriate for that location (e.g., near the effluent vent pipe or at the HCVS ROS location).
Conduit design and/or cable trays will be installed to Seismic Class 1 criteria.Dresden complies with HCVS-WP-04 from reasonable protection of HCVS components located outside of seismic Class 1 concrete structures.
If the instruments are purchased as commercial-grade equipment, they will be qualified to operate under severe accident environment as required by NRC Order EA-13-109 and the guidance of NEI 13-02. The equipment will be qualified seismically (IEEE 344) and environmentally (IEEE 323). These qualifications will be bounding conditions for Dresden per UFSAR 1.1.8 and 3.11.For the instruments required after a potential seismic event, the following methods will be used to verify Page 19 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent that the design and installation is reliable / rugged and thus capable of ensuring HCVS functionality following a seismic event. Applicable instruments are rated by the manufacturer (or otherwise tested) for seismic impact at levels commensurate with those of postulated severe accident event conditions in the area of instrument component use using one or more of the following methods:* demonstration of seismic motion will be consistent with that of existing design basis loads at the installed location;* substantial history of operational reliability in environments with significant vibration with a design envelope inclusive of the effects of seismic motion imparted to the instruments proposed at the location;* adequacy of seismic design and installation is demonstrated based on the guidance in Sections 7, 8, 9, and 10 of IEEE Standard 344-2004, IEEE Recommended Practice for Seismic Qualification of Class JE Equipment for Nuclear Power Generating Stations, (Reference
- 28) or a substantially similar industrial standard;* demonstration that proposed devices are substantially similar in design to models that have been previously tested for seismic effects in excess of the plant design basis at the location where the instrument is to be installed (g-levels and frequency ranges); or* seismic qualification using seismic motion consistent with that of existing design basis loading at the installation location.Page 20 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for WW Vent -BDBEE Venting Determine venting capability for BDBEE Venting, such as may be used in an ELAP scenario to mitigate core damage.Ref: EA-13-109 Section 1.1.4 /NEI 13-02 Section 2.2 First 24 Hour Coping Detail Provide a general description of the venting actions for first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> using installed equipment including station modifications that are proposed.Ref: EA-13-109 Section 1.2.6 I NEI 13-02 Section 2.5, 4.2.2 The operation of the HCVS will be designed to minimize reliance on operator actions for response to an ELAP and severe accident events. Immediate operator actions will be completed by qualified plant personnel from either the MCR or the HCVS ROS using remote-manual actions. The operator actions required to open a vent path are as described in Table 2-1.Remote-manual is defined in this report as a non-automatic power operation of a component and does not require the operator to be at or in close proximity to the component.
No other operator actions are required to initiate venting under the guiding procedural protocol.The HCVS will be designed to allow initiation, control, and monitoring of venting from the MCR. This location minimizes plant operators' exposure to adverse temperature and radiological conditions and is protected from hazards assumed in Part 1 of this report.Permanently installed electrical power. and motive air/gas capability will be available to support operation and monitoring of the HCVS for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.System control: i.

Connections for supplementing electrical power and air/gas required for HCVS will be located in accessible areas with reasonable protection per NEI 12-06 that minimize personnel exposure to adverse conditions for HCVS initiation and operation.
Connections will be pre-engineered quick disconnects to minimize manpower resources.
Replenishment of the Argon supply is not required under non-SA conditions since purging is not required.FLEX is credited to sustain power for a BDBEE ELAP to containment instruments used to monitor the containment (e.g., pressure and wetwell level) during non-Severe Accident (SA) conditions.
Portable instruments will be used during SA conditions.
The response to NRC EA-12-049 will demonstrate the capability for FLEX efforts to maintain the power source.These actions provide long term support for HCVS operation for the period beyond 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> to 7 days (sustained operation time period) because on-site and off-site personnel and resources will have access to the unit(s) to provide needed action and supplies.Details: Provide a brief description of Procedures/IGuidelines:

- A modification will be required to install the new wetwell vent piping including the new downstream PCIV and rupture disc. The rupture disc controls primary containment leakage during a design basis Page 22 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for WW Vent -BDBEE Venting LOCA. The new valve will include valve position indication and remote-manual control only. There is no sharing of any flow paths with the opposite unit.* A modification will be required to allow operation of the existing upstream wetwell PCIV. This includes the capability to override a containment isolation signal. Reopening the valves following a BDBEE will be remote-manual.
- A modification will be required to install the dedicated batteries needed to supply power to HCVS for the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> including capability for recharging from a portable charger at or before 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. The battery will be located at the ROS.* A modification will be required to install the dedicated motive power (Pressurized N2 gas) needed to open the HCVS valves for the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> including capability for replacing N2 bottles or connection a portable compressor after 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. The N2 bottles will be located at the ROS.*A modification will be required to install the dedicated Argon purge system. For non-SA conditions, the Argon purge system is not required to prevent hydrogen detonation in the piping. The Argon purge system, however, can be credited with breaching the rupture disc if venting is initifated at a containment pressure below the rupture disc setpoint.* A modification will be required to add (a) HCVS flow path instrumentation consisting of temperature and effluent radiation in the MCR and (b) Motive power and DC HCVS battery indication in the MCR and the ROS.Key Venting Parameters:

The operator actions required to open a vent path under SA conditions are the same as previously listed in the BDBEE Venting Part 2 section of this report (Table 2-1). The operation of the HCVS under SA conditions is the same as discussed under BDBEE (i.e., non-SA conditions) with the following exceptions:
- Access is not restricted prior to core damage. Thereafter, access to the reactor building will be restricted as determined by the RPV water level and core damage conditions.

The portable equipment that must be deployed for HCVS operation is limited to the FLEX DG that is credited for maintaining power to the containment instrumentation following Station battery depletion.
Under non-SA conditions, operation of the FLEX DG is the same as for compliance with Order EA-12-049; thus, it is acceptable without further evaluation.
Under SA conditions, radiological conditions will impede deployment of the FLEX DG.

Actions needed to establish power to SA WA instrumentation should also be included as TSAs.Ref: NET 13-02 Section 6.1.1.7.4.1,1.1.4, 1.1.5 The operation of the HCVS using SAWA and SAWMvISADV will be designed to minimize the reliance on operator actions in response to hazards listed in Part 1. Initial operator actions will be completed by plant personnel and will include the capability for remote-manual initiation from the MCR using control switches.
In addition, HCVS valve operation, as required by EA-13-109 Requirement 1.2.5, may occur at the ROS on the 561 foot elevation of the Turbine Building.Timelines (see attachments 2.1 .A for SAWAISAWM) were developed to identify required operator response times and actions. The timelines are an expansion of Attachment 2A and begin either as core damage occurs (SAWA) or after initial SAWA injection is established and as flowrate is adjusted for option B.2 (SAWM).

Consequently, Dresden will assume an initial flow rate of 421 gpm. This is based on the Industry generic value of 500 gpm multiplied by (Dresden rated power (2957 MWt)/Rated power for the generic plant (3514 MWt, NEI 13-02, 4.1.1.2.3).
This initial flow rate will be established within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> of the loss of all RPV injection following an ELAP/Severe Accident and will be maintained for four hours before reduction to the Wetwell vent preservation flow rate.The locations of the SAWA equipment and controls, as well as ingress and egress paths will be evaluated for the expected severe accident conditions (temperature, humidity, radiation) for the Sustained Operating period.Equipment will be evaluated to remain operational throughout the Sustained Operating period. Personnel exposure and temperature
/ humidity conditions for operation of SAWA equipment will not exceed the limits for ERG dose and plant safety guidelines for temperature and humidity.The flow path will be suction at the intake structure for the plant Ultimate Heat Sink (UHS) through the submersible pump and a downstream SAWA Booster pump. A valve manifold at the discharge of SAWA Booster pump will include valves with throttle capability and separate lines for Dresden Unit 2 RPV and Dresden Unit 3 RPV. This valve manifold will also provide minimum flow and freeze protection for the pump. This pump and valve manifold will be in a suitable location to allow access under severe accident conditions.
Page 32 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 3: Boundary Conditions for EA-13-109, Option 2 From this valve manifold, hoses will be routed to the permanent SAWA connection point located in the Reactor Building 517' elevation.
The connection at the Reactor Building location is on a LPCI line to the RPV. This connection point includes one manual valve, which will be opened and kept open. In addition, it requires locally manually opening motor operated valve (MOV) 2(3)-1501-22A(B) on the LPCI line. The second MOV (2(3)-1501-21A(B)) is normally open. The actions at the Reactor Building will be done within the first hour of the event prior to severe accident conditions occurring.
Backflow in the LPCI line is prevented by an existing LPCI check valve 2(3)- 1501 -25A(B).DW pressure and Suppression Pool level will be monitored and flow rate will be adjusted by use of the FLEX pump control valve at the valve manifold that also contains the SAWA flow indication.
Communication will be established between the MCR and the SAWA flow control location.Containment instrumentation required for SAWA will be monitored through testing instruments powered from batteries (e.g., 9 VDC).The Intake structure is a significant distance from the discharge of the HCVS pipe with substantial structural shielding between the HCVS pipe and the pump deployment location.
Pump refueling will also be accomplished from the EDG fuel oil tanks as described in the EA-12-049 compliance documents.
See mechanical and electrical sketches in attachments, plant layout sketches in the assumptions part and a list of actions elsewhere in this part.Evaluations of actions outside the Reactor Building for projected SA conditions (radiation

Evaluation of actions inside the Reactor Building for projected SA conditions (radiation/temperature) will be performed to determine that personnel can complete the initial and support activities without exceeding the ERG-allowable dose for equipment operation or site safety standards (reference HCVS-FAQ-12).Electrical equipment and instrumentation will be powered from the power sources noted in the table below with portable generators to maintain battery capacities during the Sustained Operating period.Parameter Instrument Location Power Source / Notes DW Pressure*

- Time periods for the maintaining SAWM actions such that the WW vent SA WM Actions supporting SA conditions that have a time constraint to be successful should be identified with a technical basis and a justification provided that the time can reasonably be met (for example, a walkthrough of deployment).
Actions already identified under the HCVS part of this template need not be repeated here.There are three time periods for the maintaining SA WM actions such that the W4W vent remains available to remove decay heat from the containment:
- SAWM can be maintained for >7 days without the need for a dmywell vent to maintain pressure below PCPL or containment design pressure, whichever is lower.o Under this approach, no detail concerning plant modifications or procedures is with respect to how alternate containment heat removal will be provided.* SAWM can be maintained for at least 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />, but less than 7 days before DWpressure reaches PCPL or design pressure, whichever is lower.o Under this approach, a functional description is required of how alternate containment heat removal might be established before DW pressure reaches PCPL or design pressure whichever is lower~.

SAWM can be maintained
>7 days: Dresden has not performed a site specific evaluation to justify the use of a lower site unique initial SAWA flow rate. Consequently, Dresden will assume an initial flow rate of 421 GPM. This is based on the Industry generic value of 500 gpm multiplied by (Dresden rated power/Rated power for the generic plant).This initial flow rate will be established within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> of the loss of all RPV injection following an ELAP/Severe Accident and will be maintained for four hours before reduction to the Wetwell vent preservation flow rate of 85 gpm.Page 35 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 3: Boundary Conditions for EA-13-109, Option 2 Instrumentation relied upon for SAWM operations is Drywell Pressure, Suppression Pool level and SAWA flow.Except for SAWA flow, SAWM instruments are initially powered by station batteries.
After Station battery depletion, these parameters will be monitored by portable test equipment using small batteries that will be available for the Sustained Operation period (7 days). The SAWA flow instrument will be self-powered from an internal power supply capable of being replenished, if needed, through the Sustained Operation period. DW Temperature monitoring is not a requirement for compliance with Phase 2 of the order, but some knowledge of temperature characteristics provides information for the operation staff to evaluate plant conditions under a severe accident and provide confirmation to adjust SAWA flow rates (Ref. 9: C.7.l.4.2, C.8.3.1).Suppression Pool level indication is maintained throughout the Sustained Operation period, so the HCVS remains in-service.
The time to reach the level at which the WW vent must be secured is >7 days using SAWM flowrates (Ref. 9: C.6.3, C.7.1.4.3).
Procedures will be developed that control the Suppression Pool level, while ensuring the DW pressure indicates the core is being cooled, whether in-vessel or ex-vessel.
Procedures will dictate conditions during which SAWM flowrate should be adjusted (up or down) using suppression pool level and DW pressure as controlling parameters to remove the decay heat from the containment. (This is similar to the guidance currently provided in the .BWROG SAMGs.) (Ref. 9: C.7.1.4.3)

4Atrtwo consecutive successful performances, the test frequency may be reduced by one operating cycle to a maximum of once per every fourth operating cycle.5 Interfacing system boundary valves that are normally closed and fail closed under ELAP conditions (loss of power and/or air) do not require control function testing under this part. Performing existing plant design basis function testing or system operation that reposition the valve(s) to the HCVS required position will meet this requirement without the need for additional testing.Notes: PCIVs are required for containment integrity during Modes 1-3 and thus are excluded from EA-13-109 testing requirements.
However, these PCI Vs are tested per by the Dresden design basis requirements to ensure valve operability and leakage tightness.

SAMGs are symptom based guidelines and therefo~re address a wide variety of possible plant conditions and capabilities while these changes are intended to accommodate those specific conditions assumed in Order EA-13-109. The changes will be made in a way that maintains the use of SAMGs in a s)ymptom based mode while at the same time addressing those conditions that may exist under extended loss of AC power (ELAP) conditions with significant core damage including ex-vessel core debris.Actual Approved Language that will be incorporated into site SAMG*Cautions: SAddressing the possible plant response associated with adding water to hot core debris and the resulting pressurization of the primary containment by rapid steam generation.
- Addressing the plant impact that raising suppression pool water level above the elevation of the suppression chamber vent opening elevation will flood the suppression chamber vent path.Priorities:
With significant core damage and RPV breach, SAMGs prioritize the preservation of primary containment integrity while limiting radioactivity releases as follows:* Core debris in the primary containment is stabilized by water addition (SAWA).* Primary containment pressure is controlled below the Primary Containment Pressure Limit (Wetwell venting).* Water addition is managed to preserve the Mark I/II suppression chamber vent paths, thereby retaining the benefits of suppression pool scrubbing and minimizing the likelihood of radioactivity and hydrogen release into the secondary containment (SAWM).Methods: Identify systems and capabilities to add water to the RPV or drywell, with the Ib)llowing generic guidance:* Use controlled injection if possible.* Inject into the RPV if possible.Maintain injection from external sources of water as low as possible to preserve suppression chamber vent capability.
- Actual language may vary by acceptable site procedure standards, but intent and structure should follow this guidance.Page 51 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Attachment 3: Conceptual Sketches (Conceptual sketches, as necessary to indicate equipment which is installed or equipment hookups necessary for the strategies)

In response, licensees installed a hardened vent pipe from the suppression pooi to some point outside the secondary containment envelope (usually outside the reactor building).
Some licensees also installed a hardened vent branch line from the dryweUl.On March 19, 2013, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Commissioners directed the staff per Staff Requirements Memorandum (SRM) for SECY-12-0 157 (Reference
- 26) to require licensees with Mark I and Mark II containments to "upgrade or replace the reliable hardened vents required by Order EA-12-050 with a containment venting system designed and installed to remain functional during severe accident conditions.'
In response, the NRC issued Order EA-13-109, Issuance of Order to Modify Licenses with Regard to Reliable Hardened Containment Vents Capable of Operation Undter Severe Accidents, June 6, 2013 (Reference 4). The Order (EA-13-109) requires that licensees of BWR facilities with Mark I and Mark II containment designs ensure that these facilities have a reliable hardened vent to remove decay heat from the containment, and maintain control of containment pressure within acceptable limits following events that result in the loss of active containment heat removal capability while maintaining the capability to operate under severe accident (SA) conditions resulting from an Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP).The Order requirements are applied in a phased approach where:* "Phase 1 involves upgrading the venting capabilities from the containment wetwell to provide reliable, severe accident capable hardened vents to assist in preventing core damage and, if necessary, to provide venting capability during severe accident conditions." (Completed "no later than staltup from the second refueling outage that begins after June 30, 2014, or June 30, 2018, whichever comes first.")*"Phase 2 involves providing additional protections for severe accident conditions through instailation of a reliable, severe accident capable drywell vent system or the development of a reliable containment venting strategy that makes it unlikely that a licensee would need to vent from the containment drywell during severe accident conditions." (Completed "no later than startup from the first refueling outage that begins after June 30, 2017, or June 30, 2019, whichever comes first.")The NRC provided an acceptable approach for complying with Order EA-13-109 through Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) (JLD-ISG-2013-02) issued in November 2013 (Reference
- 6) and JLD-ISG-2015-01 issued in April 2015 (Reference 31). The IS Gs endorse the compliance approach presented in NEI 13-02 Revisions 0 and 1, Compliance with Order EA-13-109, Severe Accident Reliable Hardened Containment Vents (Reference 9), with clarifications.
Except in those cases in which a licensee proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with Order EA-13-109, the NRC staff will use the methods described in these ISGs to evaluate licensee compliance as presented in submittals required in Order EA-13-109.
The Order also requires submittal of an overall integrated plan which will provide a description of how the requirements of the Order will be achieved.
This document provides the Overall Integrated Plan (OIP)for complying with Order EA-13-109 using the methods described in NEI 13-02 and endorsed by NRC JLD-ISG-2013-02 and JLD-ISG-2015-01.
Six month progress reports will be provided consistent with the requirements of Order EA- 13-109.Page 2 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents The submittals required are:* OIP for Phase 1 of EA-13.-109 was required to be submitted by Licensees to the NRC by June 30, 2014. The NRC requires periodic (6-month) updates for the HCVS actions being taken. The first update for Phase 1 was due December 2014, with the second due June 2015.* OIP for Phase 2 of EA-13-109 is required to be submitted by Licensees to the NRC by December 31, 2015. It is expected the December 2015 six month update for Phase 1 will be combined with the Phase 20OP submittal by means of a combined Phase 1 and 20IO.*Thereafter, the 6-month updates will be for both the Phase 1 and Phase 2 actions until complete, consistent with the requirements of Order EA-13-109.
Note: Per the Generic OIP, at the Licensee's option, the December 2015 six month update for Phase 1 may be independent of the Phase 20OIP submittal, but will require separate six month updates for Phases 1 and 2 until each phase is in compliance.
Exelon has not selected this option.The Dresden venting actions for the EA-13-109, Phase 1 severe accident capable venting scenario can be summarized by the following:
- The Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) will be initiated via manual action from either the Main Control Room (MCR) or from a Remote Operating Station (ROS) at the appropriate time based on procedural guidance in response to plant conditions from observed or derived symptoms.
The ROS capabilities are limited to the Order EA-13-109 Requirement 1.2.5.Specifically, in case the HCVS flow path valves or the Argon purge flow cannot be opened from the MCR, the ROS provides a back-up means of opening the valve(s) that does not require electrical power or control circuitry.
- The vent will utilize Containment Parameters of Pressure and Suppression Pool Level from the MCR instrumentation to monitor effectiveness of the venting actions.*The vent operation will be monitored by HCVS valve position, temperature and effluent radiation levels.*The HCVS motive force will be monitored and have the capacity to operate for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> with installed equipment (EA-13-109, 1.2.6). Replenishment of the motive force will be by use of portable equipment prior to the installed motive force being exhausted.
- Venting actions will be capable of being maintained for a sustained period of up to 7 days (NEI 13-02, 4.2.2.1.1).
The Phase 2 actions can be summarized as follows:*Utilization of Severe Accident Water Addition (SAWA) to initially inject water into the Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV). Although SAWA to the Drywell (DW) is an option, Exelon is planning SAWA injection to the RPV.*Utilization of Severe Accident Water Management (SAWM) to control injection and Suppression Pool level to ensure the HCVS (Phase 1) wetwell vent (SAWV) will remain functional for the removal of decay heat from containment.
Page 3 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents*Ensure that the decay heat can be removed from the containment for seven (7) days using the HCVS or describe the alternate method(s) to remove decay heat from the containment from the time the HCVS is no longer functional until alternate means of decay heat removal are established that make it unlikely the drywell vent will be required for DW pressure control.*The SAWA and SAWM actions will be manually activated and controlled from areas that are accessible during severe accident conditions.
- Parameters measured should be Drywell pressure, Suppression Pool level, SAWA flowrate and the HCVS parameters listed above.Note: Although EA-13-109 Phase 2 allows selecting SAWA and a Severe Accident Capable Drywell Vent (SADV) strategy, Exelon has selected SAWA and SAWM.Page 4 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 1: General Integrated Plan Elements and Assumptions Extent to which the guidance, JLD-ISG-2013-02, JLD-ISG-2015-01, and NET 13-02 (Revision 1), are being followed.
Identify any deviations.
Include a description of any alternatives to the guidance.
A technical justifi cation and basis for the alternative needs to be provided.
This will likely require a pre-meeting with the NRC to review the alternative.

Ref: NEI 13-02, Revision 1, Section 2 NEI 12-06 Revision 0 Mark Ji/I Generic HCVS Related Assumptions:
Applicable EA- 12-049 (Reference
- 3) assumptions:
049-1. Assumed initial plant conditions are as identified in NEI 12-06, §3.2.1.2, items 1 and 2 (Reference 8).049-2. Assumed initial conditions are as identified in NET 12-06, §3.2.1.3, items 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8 (Reference 8).049-3. Assumed reactor transient boundary conditions are as identified in NEI 12-06, §3.2.1.4, items 1, 2, 3 and 4.049-4. No additional events or failures are assumed to occur immediately prior to or during the event, including security events, except for the failure of Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) or High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI) (Reference NEI 12-06, §3.2.1.3, item 9 [8]).049-5. At time=0 the event is initiated and all rods insert and no other event beyond a common site ELAP is occurring at any or all of the units.049-6. At time=l hour (time sensitive at a time greater than 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />) an ELAP is declared and actions begin as defined in EA-12-049 compliance.
049-7. DC power and distribution can be credited for the duration determined per the EA-12-049 (FLEX)methodology for station battery usage, (greater than approximately 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> with a calculated limiting value of approximately 6 hrs., EC Eval. 391973) (NEI 12-06, section 3.2.1.3 item 8).049-8. Deployment resources are assumed to begin arriving at hour 6 and fully staffed by 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.049-9. All activities associated with EA-12-049 (FLEX) that are not specific to implementation of the HCVS, including such items as debris removal, communication, notifications, Spent Fuel Pool (SFP) level and makeup, security response, opening doors for cooling, and initiating conditions for the events, can be credited as previously evaluated for FLEX. (Refer to assumption 109-02 below for clarity on SAWA)(HCVS-FAQ-1 1)Applicable EA-13-109 (Reference
- 4) generic assumptions:
109-1. Site response activities associated with EA-13-109 actions are considered to have no access limitations associated with radiological conditions while Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) level is above 2/3 core height (core damage is not expected).
This is further addressed in HCVS-FAQ-12.
109-2. Portable equipment can supplement the installed equipment after 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> provided the portable equipment credited meets the criteria applicable to the HCVS. An example is use of FLEX portable air supply equipment that is credited to recharge air lines for HCVS components after 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. The FLEX portable air supply used must be demonstrated to meet the "SA Capable" criteria that are defined in NEI 13-02 Section 4.2.4.2 and Appendix D Section D.l.3 (Reference 9). This assumption does not apply to Phase 2 SAWA/SAWM because SAWA equipment needs to be connected and placed in service within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> from the time of the loss of RPV injection. (Reference HCVS-FAQ-12).
109-3. SFP Level is maintained with either on-site or off-site resources such that the SFP does not contribute to the analyzed source term (Reference HCVS-FAQ-07
[18]).109-4. Existing containment components design and testing values are governed by existing plant containment Page 6 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 1: General Integrated Plan Elements and Assumptions criteria (e.g., Appendix J) and are not subject to the testing criteria from NEI 13-02 (Reference HCVS-FAQ-05 [16] and NET 13-02, §6.2.2 [9]).109-5. Classical design basis evaluations and assumptions are not required when assessing the operation of the HCVS. The reason that this is not required is that the order postulates an unsuccessful mitigation of an event such that an ELAP progresses to a severe accident with ex-vessel core debris that classical design basis evaluations are intended to prevent (Reference NEI 13-02, §2.3.1 [9]).109-6. HCVS manual actions require minimal operator steps and can be performed in the postulated thermal radiological environment at the location of the step(s) (e.g., load stripping, control switch manipulation, valving-in nitrogen bottles) are acceptable to obtain HCVS venting dedicated functionality (Reference HCVS-FAQ-0l[12]).
This assumption does not apply to Phase 2 SAWA/SAWM because SAWA equipment needs to be connected and placed in service within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> from the time of the loss of RPV injection and will require more than minimal operator action.109-7. HCVS dedicated equipment is defined as vent process elements that are required for the HCVS to function in an ELAP event that progresses to core melt ex-vessel (Reference HCVS-FAQ-02
[13] and White Paper HCVS-WP-01
[21]). This assumption does not apply to Phase 2 SAWA/SAWM because SAWA equipment is not dedicated to HCVS but shared to support FLEX functions.
This is further addressed in HCVS-FAQ-il1.
109-8. Use of MAAP Version 4 or higher provides adequate assurance of the plant conditions (e.g., RPV water level, temperatures, etc.) assumed for Order EA-13-109 Beyond Design Basis External Event (BDBEE) and SA HCVS operation (Reference FLEX MAAP Endorsement ML13190A201
[29]). Additional analysis using RELAP5/MOD 3, GOTHIC, and MICROSHIELD, etc., are acceptable methods for evaluating environmental conditions in other portions of the plant, provided that the specific version utilized is documented in the analysis.
MAAP Version 5 was used to develop EPRI Technical Report 3002003301 to support diywell temperature response to SAWA under severe accident conditions.
109-9. NRC Published Accident evaluations (e.g., SOARCA, SECY-12-0157, NUREG 1465) as related to Order EA-13-109 conditions are acceptable as references (Reference NEI 13-02, §8 [9]).109-10. Permanent modifications installed or planned per EA-12-049 are assumed implemented and may be credited for use in Order EA-13-109 response.109-11. This Overall Integrated Plan is based on Emergency Operating Procedure (EOP) changes consistent with Emergency Procedures Guidelines/Severe Accident Guidelines (EPG/SAGs)
Revision 3 as incorporated per the site's EOP/Severe Accident Procedure (SAP) procedure change process. This assumption does not apply to Phase 2 SAWM because SAWM is not part of revision 3. (Refer to Attachment 2.1.D for SAWM SAMG changes approved by the BWROG Emergency Procedures Committee.)
109-12. Under the postulated scenarios of Order EA-13-109, the Main Control Room is adequately protected from excessive radiation dose as per General Design Criterion (GDC) 19 in 10CFR50 Appendix A and no further evaluation of its use as the preferred HCVS control location is required provided that the HCVS routing is a sufficient distance away from the MCR or is shielded to minimize impact to the MCR dose. In addition, adequate protective clothing and protection are available if required to address contamination issues (Reference HCVS-FAQ-0l
[12] and HCVS-FAQ-09).
109-13. The suppression pool/wetwell of a BWR Mark I/II containment is considered to be hounded by assuming a saturated environment for the duration of the event response because of the water/steam interactions.
Page 7 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 1: General Integrated Plan Elements and Assumptions 109-14. RPV depressurization is directedt by the EPGs in all cases prior to entry into the SAGs. (reference NEI 13-02 Rev 1 §1.1.3)109-15. The Severe Accident impacts are assumed on one unit only due to the site compliance with NRC Order EA-12-049. However, each BWR Mk I and II under the assumptions of NRC Order EA-13-109 ensure the capability to protect containment exists for each unit. (HCVS-FAQ-01)
This is further addressed in HCVS-FAQ-10.Plant Specific HCVS Related Assumptions/Characteristics:
Dresden-i Provided Severe Accident (SA) conditions are not reached EA- 12-049 (FLEX) actions to restore power are sufficient to ensure continuous operation of non-dedicated containment instrumentation identified in Part 2 (Key Venting Parameters) of this OIP. Modifications that allow a FLEX generator to recharge the HCVS battery are assumed to have been installed such that a FLEX generator can be credited for HCVS operation beyond the initial 24-hour sustained operational period. If SA conditions are reached, these non-dedicated containment instruments will be monitored by use of hand held, test instrumentation that rely on small batteries, and Dresden will provide a small portable generator to maintain HCVS battery charge beyond the initial 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.Dresden -2 In case of a severe flood warning, the Dresden units will be shutdown and cooldown (per procedure DOA 00 10-04) prior to the flooding causing an ELAP. The shutdown and cooldown prior to the ELAP will significantly reduce the decay heat that would have to be removed by the Isolation Condenser System (ICS) or, in case of a failure of the ICS, by the HCVS. Dresden will evaluate what actions may be necessary to ensure the WW venting path remains viable following a severe flood. Reactor building dewatering strategy is under development and will be updated in the next 6-month update (Ref. ISF Open Item 2).Dresden -3 The Plant layout of buildings and structures are depicted in Sketches 2B and 2C. Note the Main Control Room is located at Control Building elevation 534'. The Control Building has substantial structural walls and features independent of the Reactor Building.
The HCVS vent routing external to the Reactor Building is indicated on Sketch 2-C. The external piping is vertical with the exception of the point at which it exits the Reactor Building.Dresden -4 The HCVS external piping is all above 30-feet from ground level and it consists solely of large bore (10-inches nominal diameter piping and its piping supports (EC 400578). The external piping has less than 300 square feet of cross section. The HCVS external piping meets the reasonable protection requirements of HCVS-WP-04.
The external support structure used to support the HCVS piping is analyzed to the Dresden design basis tornado missiles to preclude a failure of the tower due to tornado winds and missiles.Page 8 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent Provide a sequence of events and identify any time or environmental constraint required for success including the basis for the constraint.
HCVS Actions that have a time constraint to be successful should be identified with a technical basis and a justification provided that the tine can reasonably be met (for example, action to open vent valves).HCVS Actions that have an environmental constraint (e.g. actions in areas of High Thermal stress or High Dose areas) should be evaluated per guidance.Describe in detail in this section the technical basis for the constraints identified on the sequence of events timneline attachment.
See attached sequence of events tirneline (Attachment 2A ).Ref: EA-13-109 Section 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3 / NEI 13-02 Section 4.2.5, 4.2.6. 6.1.1 The containment purge exhaust at each Dresden unit consists of a wetwell primary containment isolation valve (PCIV), a DW PCIV, and a common downstream PCIV. The HCVS flow path will utilize portions of this system. The HCVS will connect between the two containment purge exhaust PCIVs. Consequently, the HCVS flow path will share the upstream PCIVs with the containment purge system, but it will have a downstream PCIV dedicated to the HCVS flow path. The new HCVS flow path will have a rupture disc downstream of the last PCIV on the HCVS line to serve as the secondary containment leakage barrier.Each unit will have piping that is totally separate from the other unit and with no interconnected systems downstream of the new downstream PCIV. The discharge from each unit is routed separately and discharges above the unit's Reactor Building roof.The two Dresden units will have a dedicated motive power (Pressurized N2) for HCVS valves, Argon Purge system, and DC power for HCVS components that, except for battery charging after 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, does not rely on FLEX (EC 400578).Existing containment instruments (pressure and suppression pool level) are not considered HCVS components and power will be maintained through the actions for EA-12-049 for non-severe accident conditions or using test equipment during severe accident conditions.
The operation of the HCVS will be designed to minimize the reliance on operator actions in response to hazards listed in Part 1.

Page 10 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent Attachment 2A, Sequence of Events Timeline, was developed to identify required operator response times and potential environmental constraints.
This timeline is based upon the following three sequences:
- 1. Sequence 1 is based upon the action response times developed for FLEX when utilizing anticipatory venting in a BDBEE without core damage. Containment venting is not required for Dresden FLEX response since the Isolation Condenser System (ICS) removes all the decay heat from the reactor and the containment does not become pressurized enough to require venting.Dresden does not have a RCIC system but it has a steam driven High Pressure Coolant Injection System (HPCI).2. Sequence 2 is based on SECY-12-0157 long-term station blackout (LTSBO) (or ELAP) with a failure of RCIC after a black start where failure occurs because of subjectively assuming over injection.
It is used for Dresden to represent a late failure of the ICS and HPCI. Late failure of the ICS is due to the assumption that FLEX fails to provide make-up water to the ICS.3. Sequence 3 is based on NUREG-1935 (SOARCA) results for a prolonged SBO (or ELAP) with loss of RCIC case without black start. For Dresden, this represents that the ICS fails after its initial water volume is expended (i.e., no FLEX make-up to the ICS), and the HPCI fails early at a pool temperature of 140°F [MAAP case 8].The following is a discussion of time constraints identified in Attachment 2A for the 3 timeline sequences identified above:* With case 1 (ICS operating), HCVS operation is not required since the only heat input into the containment is from RCS leaks and ambient losses to the environment.
- For case 3 (limiting case), in approximately 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />, initiate use of Hardened Containment Vent System (HCVS) per site procedures to maintain containment parameters below the lower of Primary Containment Pressure Limit (PCPL) or contalnment design pressure.Reliable operation of HCVS will be met because HCVS meets the seismic requirements
- identified in NEl 13-02, will be powered by DC power from a dedicated power source, and HCVS valves are supplied with motive force from portable nitrogen bottles. HCVS controls and instrumentation and controls will be DC powered. HCVS valve motive force is from pressurized gas. Valves will be operable from the HCVS control panel in the MCR. DC power and motive air will be available for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> from permanent sources. Containment pressure and WW indication will initially be powered from existing lE Station battery. If SA conditions are not reached, these containment indications will be maintained by FLEX generators.
If SA conditions are reached, these indications will be monitored by hand held instruments powered from small batteries.
Thus, initiation of the HCVS from the MCR or the Remote Operating Station within approximately 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> is acceptable because the actions can be performed any time after declaration of an ELAP until the venting is needed at approximately 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> for BDBEE venting. This action can also be performed for SA HCVS operation which occurs at a time further removed from an FLAP declaration as shown in Attachment 2.*Within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, the permanently installed nitrogen bottles at the ROS will be replaced, as required, to maintain sustained operation or alternatively a portable compressor will be connect at the ROS. Typical of all activities required at 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, this can be performed at Page 11 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent any time prior to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> to ensure adequate capacity is maintained so this time constraint is not limiting.*Within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, the permanently installed Argon bottles at the ROS will be replaced, as required, to maintain sustained operation.
Note that purging is only required if venting hydrogen following severe accident conditions.
- Within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, a generator will be installed and connected to recharge the dedicated HCVS power supply to maintain sustalned operation.
Under non-SA conditions this will be the FLEX generator.
Under SA conditions this will be a small, portable generator.
- Current Dresden station battery durations are calculated to last 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />. if SA conditions are not reached, FLEX pre-staged DG will be in service 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> after an event (Reference FLEX 0TP). Modifications will be implemented to facilitate the connections and operational actions required to supply power within approximately 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />. Thus, under non-SA conditions, the FLEX DGs will be available to be placed in service at any point after approximately 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> as required to supply power to containment parameters (containment pressure and WW level). A FLEX DG will be maintained and used in on-site FLEX storage buildings.
For the flood event, the DG will be transferred and staged via haul routes and staging areas evaluated for impact from external hazards.Discussion of radiological, temperature.
other environmental constraints identified in Attachment 2A*Actions to initiate HCVS operation are taken from the MCR or from the ROS in the Turbine Building.
Both locations have significant shielding and/or physical separation fr'om radiological sources. Non-radiological habitability for the MCR is being addressed as part of the Dresden FLEX response.
The ROS location in the Turbine Building has no heat sources.*Before the end of the initial 24-hour period, replenishment of the HCVS dedicated DC power, Argon purge gas, and PCIV motive power (pressurized gas) will occur at the ROS. The selection of the ROS location will take into account the SA temperature and radiation condition to ensure access to the ROS is maintained.
The design will allow replenishment with minimal actions.ISE Open Item -12: Confirm that the ROS will be in an area accessible following a SA.Provide Details on the Vent characteristics.

Demonstration of the seismic reliability of the instrumentation through methods that predict performance by analysis, qualification testing under simulated seismic conditions, a combination of testing and analysis, or the use of experience data. Guidance for these is based on sections 7, 8, 9, and 10 of IEEE Standard 344-2004, "'IEEE Recommended Practice for Seismic Qualification of Class JE Equipment for Nuclear Power Generating Stations,'" or a substantially similar industrial standtard could be used.Demonstration that the instrumentation is substantially similar in design to instrumentation that has been previously tested to seismic loading levels in accordance with the plant design basis at the location where the instrument is to be installed (g-levels and frequency ranges). Such testing and analysis should be similar to that performed for the plant licensing basis.Page 14 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent Vent Size and Basis The HCVS flow path is designed for venting steanm/energy from the suppression pooi at a nominal capacity of 1% of the currently licensed power, 2957 MWt thermal power at pressure of 62 psig (UFSAR Table 1.2-1). This pressure is the lower of the containment design pressure and the PCPL value assuming nominal torus water level. The nominal diameter is 18-inches through the shared upstream PCTV that is shared with the containment purge exhaust and 10-inches for the downstream portion. The 10-inch diameter portion includes the downstream PCIV and rupture disc. Refer to Sketch 2A, the P&TD. This line has been verified to meet the Order criteria for 1%.Vent Capacity The 1% value at Dresden assumes that the suppression pooi pressure suppression capacity is sufficient to absorb the decay heat generated during the first 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br />. The vent would then be able to prevent containment pressure from increasing above the containment design pressure.
As part of the detailed design, the duration of suppression pool decay heat absorption capability was confirmed to exceed 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> (Reference 37, MAAP).Vent Path and Discharge The Dresden station HCVS vent path will consist of a separate wetwell vent for each unit. The upstream portion consists of 18-inch nominal diameter piping and the upstream PCIV that is shared with the torus containment purge exhaust path. The downstream portion consists of 10-inch nominal diameter piping and includes the downstream PCIV and the rupture disc. The downstream PCTV and rupture disc are dedicated to the HCVS function.
The rupture disc is credited as the secondary containment isolation barrier. The 10-inch diameter vent line is initially routed vertically with the Reactor Building and then horizontally through the Reactor Building wall at elevation 591', which is approximately 74 feet above nominal plant ground elevation (EC 401069, DWG M-1 194A-1). This line is then routed vertically on the outside of the Reactor Building to a point above the top of the Reactor Building.
There are no interconnected systems downstream of the second PCIVs and there is no sharing of any flow path between the two units.The HCVS discharge path is being routed to a point above any adjacent structure.
This discharge point is just above that unit's Reactor Building and will follow the guidance of FAQ- HCVS-04 (Reference
- 15) to the extent reasonably possible such that the release point will vent away from emergency ventilation system intake and exhaust openings, main control room location, location of HCVS portable equipment, access routes required following a ELAP and BDBEE, and emergency response facilities; however, these must be considered in conjunction with other design criteria (e.g., flow capacity) and pipe routing limitations, to the degree practical.
The external vertical piping for the two units will be run in close proximity to each other to allow a common external support structure.
The external piping meets the criteria for tornado missile reasonable protection (refer to Dresden Assumption 4).Power and Pneumatic Supply Sources All electrical power required for operation of HCVS components will be from a dedicated HVCS DC battery source with permanently installed capacity for the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> and design provisions for recharging to maintain sustained operation.
Motive (pneumatic) power to the HCVS valves is provided by a dedicated bank of N2 gas bottles with permanently installed capacity for the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> and design provisions for replacing bottles and/or Page 15 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent connecting a portable compressor to maintain sustained operation.
The initial stored motive air/gas will allow for a minimum of 8 vent cycles for the HCVS valves for the first 24-hours.
The 8 vent cycles is defined as initially opening all valves in the wetwell flow path, and then shutting and reopening one of the valves in the flow paths.1. The HCVS flow path valves are air-operated valves (AOV). The existing, upstream PCIV is air-to-open and air-to-shut.
The new downstream PCIV will be air-to-open and spring-to-shut.
Opening the valves from the HCVS control panel located in the MCR requires energizing a DC powered solenoid operated valve (SOV) and providing motive air/gas.2. An assessment of temperature and radiological conditions will be performed to ensure that operating personnel can safely access and operate controls at the Remote Operating Station based on time constraints listed in Attachment 2.3. All permanently installed HCVS equipment, including any connections required to supplement the HCVS operation during an ELAP (i.e., DC power, Argon purge gas, and motive force [pressurized N2/air]) will be located in areas reasonably protected from defined hazards listed in Part 1 of this report.47All valves required to open the flow path will be designed for remote manual operation following an ELAP, such that the primary means of valve manipulation does not rely on use of a handwheel, reach-rod or similar means that requires close proximity to the valve (reference FAQ HCVS-03).The preferred method is opening from the MCR through the control switch that energizes the AOV's SOV. The back-up method for new valves is from the ROS by repositioning valves on the pneumatic supply; this allows opening and closing of a valve from the ROS without reliance on any electrical power or control circuit. Accessibility to the ROS will be verified during the detailed design.5. Any supplemental connections will be pre-engineered to minimize man-power resources and address environmental concerns.
Required portable equipment will be reasonably protected from screened in hazards listed in Part 1 of this OIP.6. Access to the locations described above will not require temporary ladders or scaffolding.
Location of Control Panels The HCVS design allows initiating and then operating and monitoring the HCVS from the Main Control Room (MCR) and in addition, opening PCTVs and the Argon purge system from the ROS in case of a DC circuit failure. The tentative location for the ROS is 561 foot elevation Turbine Building.
The MCR location is protected from adverse natural phenomena and it is the normal control point for Plant Emergency Response actions. The ROS will be evaluated to ensure acceptable temperature and dose consequences.
Hydroigen As required by EA-13-109, Section 1.2.11, the HCVS design will include an Argon purge system that will be connected just downstream of the second PCIV. It will be designed to prevent hydrogen detonation downstream of the second PCIV. The Argon purge system will have a switch for the control valve in the MCR to allow opening the purge for the designated time, but it will also allow for local operation in the ROS in case of a DC power or control circuit failure. The Argon purge will only be utilized following severe accident conditions when hydrogen is being vented. The installed capacity for the Argon purge Page 16 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent system will be sized for at least 8 purges within the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of the ELAP. This number of vent cycles is the same value used for sizing the PC1V motive air supply. The design will allow for Argon bottle replacement for continued operation past 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.The Argon purge system can also be used to breach the rupture disc if venting is required before reaching the rupture disc setpoint.
The MCR panel will include an indication of Argon pressure to the HCVS path to verify that the Argon purge system flow is occurring.
Unintended Cross Flow of Vented Fluids Refer to Sketch 2A, the HCVS P&IID. The HCVS piping in each unit is totally independent of the other unit's HCVS flow path. The upstream 18-inch nominal diameter portion isolates any interconnected, non-HCVS systems in that unit through normally shut, air-operated PCIVs that, if open, will automatically shut.The downstream dedicated 10-inch portion does not have any interconnected systems. This precludes unintended cross flow of vented fluids.Prevention of Inadvertent Actuation EOP/ERG operating procedures provide clear guidance that the HCVS is not to be used to defeat containment integrity during any design basis transients and accident.
In addition, the HCVS will be designed to provide features to prevent inadvertent actuation due to a design error, equipment malfunction, or operator error such that any credited containment accident pressure (CAP) that would provide net positive suction head to the emergency core cooling system (ECCS) pumps will be available (inclusive of a design basis loss-of-coolant accident (DBLOCA)).
However, the ECCS pumps will not have normal power available because of the starting boundary conditions of an ELAP.Note that Dresden credits CAP for its DBLOCA. Preventing inadvertent operation is addressed.
The features that prevent inadvertent actuation are two PCI Vs in series with a downstream rupture disc. The downstream PCIV is a normally shut, fail-shut AOV dedicated to the HCVS function.
This valve is air to open; spring to shut that requires energizing a SOV to allow the motive air to open the valve. This PCTV is controlled by its own key-locked switch. In addition, the DC power to its SOV and the motive air supplied will normally be disabled to prevent inadvertent operation.
Component Qualifications The HCVS components and components that interface with the HCVS are routed in seismically qualified structures.
HCVS components that are part of the containment pressure boundary will be safety-related.
The containment system limits the leakage or release of radioactive materials to the environment to prevent offsite exposures from exceeding the guidelines of 10 CFR 100. During normal or design basis operations, this means serving as a pressure boundary to prevent release of radioactive material.
HCVS components downstream of the containment pressure boundary (i.e., downstream of the downstream PCIV) will not be safety-related.
The HCVS components (SOVs and instrumentation) will be powered from a normally de-energized, dedicated power supply that will not be safety-related but will be considered Augmented Quality.However, if any HCVS electrical or controls component interfaces with Class 1E power sources, it will he considered safety related up to and including appropriate isolation devices such as fuses or breakers, as their failure could adversely impact containment isolation and/or a safety-related power source. Newly installed piping and valves will be seismically analyzed to handle the forces associated with the Plant's Design Basis Seismic Requirements back to their isolation boundaries.
Electrical and controls components Page 17 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent will be seismically analyzed and will include the ability to handle harsh environmental conditions (although they will not be considered part of the site Environmental Qualification (EQ) program).HCVS instrumentation performance (e.g., accuracy and precision) need not exceed that of similar plant installed equipment.
Additionally, radiation monitoring instrumentation accuracy and range will be sufficient to determine core conditions (i.e., no core damage thru severe core damage). The HCVS instruments, including valve position indication, process instrumentation, radiation monitoring, and support system monitoring, will be qualified by using one or more of the three methods described in the ISG, which includes: 1. Purchase of instruments and supporting components with known operating principles from manufacturers with commercial quality assurance programs (e.g., 1S09001) where the procurement specifications include the applicable seismic requirements, design requirements, and applicable testing.2. Demonstration of seismic reliability via methods that predict performance described in IEEE 344-2004 3. Demonstration that instrumentation is substantially similar to the design of instrumentation previously qualified.

Monitoring of HCVS The Dresden wetwell HCVS will be capable of being remote-manually operated during sustained operations from a control panel located in the main control room (MCR) and will meet the requirements of Order element 1.2.4. The MCR is a readily accessible location with no further evaluation required (Generic Assumption 109-12). Additionally, to meet the requirement of EA-13-109 Section 1.2.5, an accessible Remote Operating Station (ROS) will also be incorporated into the HCVS design as described in NEI 13-02 section 4.2.2.1.2.1.
The controls and indications at the ROS location will be accessible and functional under a range of plant conditions, including severe accident conditions with due consideration to source term and dose impact on operator exposure, extended loss of AC power (ELAP), and inadequate containment cooling. An evaluation will be performed to determine accessibility to the ROS location, habitability, staffing sufficiency, and communication capability with Vent-use decision makers.Page 18 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent The wetwell HCVS will include means to monitor the status of the vent system in the MCR and to monitor DC power, Argon pressure, and N2 pressure at the ROS. The proposed design for the HCVS includes control switches in the MCR with valve position indication.
The HCVS controls will meet the environmental and seismic requirements of the Order for the plant severe accident with an ELAP.

Beyond the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, the ability to maintain these valves open or closed will be maintained by sustaining the motive air and DC power.The wetwell HCVS will include indications for vent pipe temperature and effluent radiation levels at the MCR. Other important information on the status of supporting systems, (i.e., DC power source status, Argon purge gas pressure and pneumatic supply pressure), will also be included in the design and located to support HCVS operation.
Other instrumentation that supports HCVS function will be provided in the MCR. This includes existing containment pressure and suppression pool level indication.
This instrumentation is not required to validate HCVS function and is therefore not powered from the dedicated HCVS batteries.
However, these instruments are expected to be available since (a) under non-SA conditions the FLEX DG supplies the station battery charger for these instruments and will be installed prior to depletion of the station batteries and (b) under SA conditions, they will be monitored using hand-held test equipment.
Component reliable and rugged performance Unless otherwise required to be safety-related, Augmented Quality requirements will be applied to the components installed in response to this Order.The HCVS downstream of the second containment isolation valve, including piping and supports, electrical power supply, valve actuator pneumatic supply, and instrumentation (local and remote) components, will be designed/analyzed to conform to the requirements consistent with the applicable design codes (e.g., Non-safety, Seismic Category 1, B31.l) for the plant and to ensure functionality following a design basis earthquake.
Additional modifications required to meet the Order will provide reliability at the postulated vent pipe conditions (temperature, pressure, and radiation levels). The instrumentation/power supplies/cables/connections (components) will be qualified for temperature, pressure, radiation level, total integrated dose radiation appropriate for that location (e.g., near the effluent vent pipe or at the HCVS ROS location).
Conduit design and/or cable trays will be installed to Seismic Class 1 criteria.Dresden complies with HCVS-WP-04 from reasonable protection of HCVS components located outside of seismic Class 1 concrete structures.
If the instruments are purchased as commercial-grade equipment, they will be qualified to operate under severe accident environment as required by NRC Order EA-13-109 and the guidance of NEI 13-02. The equipment will be qualified seismically (IEEE 344) and environmentally (IEEE 323). These qualifications will be bounding conditions for Dresden per UFSAR 1.1.8 and 3.11.For the instruments required after a potential seismic event, the following methods will be used to verify Page 19 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent that the design and installation is reliable / rugged and thus capable of ensuring HCVS functionality following a seismic event. Applicable instruments are rated by the manufacturer (or otherwise tested) for seismic impact at levels commensurate with those of postulated severe accident event conditions in the area of instrument component use using one or more of the following methods:* demonstration of seismic motion will be consistent with that of existing design basis loads at the installed location;* substantial history of operational reliability in environments with significant vibration with a design envelope inclusive of the effects of seismic motion imparted to the instruments proposed at the location;* adequacy of seismic design and installation is demonstrated based on the guidance in Sections 7, 8, 9, and 10 of IEEE Standard 344-2004, IEEE Recommended Practice for Seismic Qualification of Class JE Equipment for Nuclear Power Generating Stations, (Reference
- 28) or a substantially similar industrial standard;* demonstration that proposed devices are substantially similar in design to models that have been previously tested for seismic effects in excess of the plant design basis at the location where the instrument is to be installed (g-levels and frequency ranges); or* seismic qualification using seismic motion consistent with that of existing design basis loading at the installation location.Page 20 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for WW Vent -BDBEE Venting Determine venting capability for BDBEE Venting, such as may be used in an ELAP scenario to mitigate core damage.Ref: EA-13-109 Section 1.1.4 /NEI 13-02 Section 2.2 First 24 Hour Coping Detail Provide a general description of the venting actions for first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> using installed equipment including station modifications that are proposed.Ref: EA-13-109 Section 1.2.6 I NEI 13-02 Section 2.5, 4.2.2 The operation of the HCVS will be designed to minimize reliance on operator actions for response to an ELAP and severe accident events. Immediate operator actions will be completed by qualified plant personnel from either the MCR or the HCVS ROS using remote-manual actions. The operator actions required to open a vent path are as described in Table 2-1.Remote-manual is defined in this report as a non-automatic power operation of a component and does not require the operator to be at or in close proximity to the component.
No other operator actions are required to initiate venting under the guiding procedural protocol.The HCVS will be designed to allow initiation, control, and monitoring of venting from the MCR. This location minimizes plant operators' exposure to adverse temperature and radiological conditions and is protected from hazards assumed in Part 1 of this report.Permanently installed electrical power. and motive air/gas capability will be available to support operation and monitoring of the HCVS for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.System control: i.

Connections for supplementing electrical power and air/gas required for HCVS will be located in accessible areas with reasonable protection per NEI 12-06 that minimize personnel exposure to adverse conditions for HCVS initiation and operation.
Connections will be pre-engineered quick disconnects to minimize manpower resources.
Replenishment of the Argon supply is not required under non-SA conditions since purging is not required.FLEX is credited to sustain power for a BDBEE ELAP to containment instruments used to monitor the containment (e.g., pressure and wetwell level) during non-Severe Accident (SA) conditions.
Portable instruments will be used during SA conditions.
The response to NRC EA-12-049 will demonstrate the capability for FLEX efforts to maintain the power source.These actions provide long term support for HCVS operation for the period beyond 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> to 7 days (sustained operation time period) because on-site and off-site personnel and resources will have access to the unit(s) to provide needed action and supplies.Details: Provide a brief description of Procedures/IGuidelines:

- A modification will be required to install the new wetwell vent piping including the new downstream PCIV and rupture disc. The rupture disc controls primary containment leakage during a design basis Page 22 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for WW Vent -BDBEE Venting LOCA. The new valve will include valve position indication and remote-manual control only. There is no sharing of any flow paths with the opposite unit.* A modification will be required to allow operation of the existing upstream wetwell PCIV. This includes the capability to override a containment isolation signal. Reopening the valves following a BDBEE will be remote-manual.

The N2 bottles will be located at the ROS.*A modification will be required to install the dedicated Argon purge system. For non-SA conditions, the Argon purge system is not required to prevent hydrogen detonation in the piping. The Argon purge system, however, can be credited with breaching the rupture disc if venting is initifated at a containment pressure below the rupture disc setpoint.* A modification will be required to add (a) HCVS flow path instrumentation consisting of temperature and effluent radiation in the MCR and (b) Motive power and DC HCVS battery indication in the MCR and the ROS.Key Venting Parameters:

The portable equipment that must be deployed for HCVS operation is limited to the FLEX DG that is credited for maintaining power to the containment instrumentation following Station battery depletion.
Under non-SA conditions, operation of the FLEX DG is the same as for compliance with Order EA-12-049; thus, it is acceptable without further evaluation.
Under SA conditions, radiological conditions will impede deployment of the FLEX DG.

Both SA WM and SADV require the use of SA WA and may not be done independently.
The HCVS actions uneter Part 2 apply to all of the following:
This Part is divided into the following sections: 3.1: Severe Accident Water Addition (SA WA)3.1.A: Severe Accident Water Management (SA WM)3.1.B: Severe Accident DW Vent (545 deg F)Provide a sequence of events and identify any time constraint required for success including the basis for the time constraint.
SA WA and SA WM or" SADV Actions supporting SA conditions that have a time constraint to be successful should be identified with a technical basis and a justification provided that the time can reasonably be met (for example, a walkthrough of deployment).
Actions already identified under the HCVS part of this template need not be repeated here.The time to establish the water addition capability into the RPV or DW should be less than 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> from the onset of the loss of all injection sources.* Electrical generators satisfying the requirements of EA-12-049 may be credited for powering components and instrumentation needed to establish a flow path.* Time Sensitive Actions (TSAs) for the purpose of SAWA are those actions needed to transport, connect and start portable equipment needed to provide SA WA flow or provide power to SA WA components in the flow path between the connection point and the RPV or drnywell.
Actions needed to establish power to SA WA instrumentation should also be included as TSAs.Ref: NET 13-02 Section 6.1.1.7.4.1,1.1.4, 1.1.5 The operation of the HCVS using SAWA and SAWMvISADV will be designed to minimize the reliance on operator actions in response to hazards listed in Part 1. Initial operator actions will be completed by plant personnel and will include the capability for remote-manual initiation from the MCR using control switches.
In addition, HCVS valve operation, as required by EA-13-109 Requirement 1.2.5, may occur at the ROS on the 561 foot elevation of the Turbine Building.Timelines (see attachments 2.1 .A for SAWAISAWM) were developed to identify required operator response times and actions. The timelines are an expansion of Attachment 2A and begin either as core damage occurs (SAWA) or after initial SAWA injection is established and as flowrate is adjusted for option B.2 (SAWM). The timelines do not assume the core is ex-vessel and the actions taken are appropriate for both in-vessel and ex-vessel core damage conditions.

Consequently, Dresden will assume an initial flow rate of 421 gpm. This is based on the Industry generic value of 500 gpm multiplied by (Dresden rated power (2957 MWt)/Rated power for the generic plant (3514 MWt, NEI 13-02, 4.1.1.2.3).
This initial flow rate will be established within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> of the loss of all RPV injection following an ELAP/Severe Accident and will be maintained for four hours before reduction to the Wetwell vent preservation flow rate.The locations of the SAWA equipment and controls, as well as ingress and egress paths will be evaluated for the expected severe accident conditions (temperature, humidity, radiation) for the Sustained Operating period.Equipment will be evaluated to remain operational throughout the Sustained Operating period. Personnel exposure and temperature
/ humidity conditions for operation of SAWA equipment will not exceed the limits for ERG dose and plant safety guidelines for temperature and humidity.The flow path will be suction at the intake structure for the plant Ultimate Heat Sink (UHS) through the submersible pump and a downstream SAWA Booster pump. A valve manifold at the discharge of SAWA Booster pump will include valves with throttle capability and separate lines for Dresden Unit 2 RPV and Dresden Unit 3 RPV. This valve manifold will also provide minimum flow and freeze protection for the pump. This pump and valve manifold will be in a suitable location to allow access under severe accident conditions.
Page 32 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 3: Boundary Conditions for EA-13-109, Option 2 From this valve manifold, hoses will be routed to the permanent SAWA connection point located in the Reactor Building 517' elevation.
The connection at the Reactor Building location is on a LPCI line to the RPV. This connection point includes one manual valve, which will be opened and kept open. In addition, it requires locally manually opening motor operated valve (MOV) 2(3)-1501-22A(B) on the LPCI line. The second MOV (2(3)-1501-21A(B)) is normally open. The actions at the Reactor Building will be done within the first hour of the event prior to severe accident conditions occurring.
Backflow in the LPCI line is prevented by an existing LPCI check valve 2(3)- 1501 -25A(B).DW pressure and Suppression Pool level will be monitored and flow rate will be adjusted by use of the FLEX pump control valve at the valve manifold that also contains the SAWA flow indication.
Communication will be established between the MCR and the SAWA flow control location.Containment instrumentation required for SAWA will be monitored through testing instruments powered from batteries (e.g., 9 VDC).The Intake structure is a significant distance from the discharge of the HCVS pipe with substantial structural shielding between the HCVS pipe and the pump deployment location.
Pump refueling will also be accomplished from the EDG fuel oil tanks as described in the EA-12-049 compliance documents.
See mechanical and electrical sketches in attachments, plant layout sketches in the assumptions part and a list of actions elsewhere in this part.Evaluations of actions outside the Reactor Building for projected SA conditions (radiation

Evaluation of actions inside the Reactor Building for projected SA conditions (radiation/temperature) will be performed to determine that personnel can complete the initial and support activities without exceeding the ERG-allowable dose for equipment operation or site safety standards (reference HCVS-FAQ-12).Electrical equipment and instrumentation will be powered from the power sources noted in the table below with portable generators to maintain battery capacities during the Sustained Operating period.Parameter Instrument Location Power Source / Notes DW Pressure*

- Time periods for the maintaining SAWM actions such that the WW vent SA WM Actions supporting SA conditions that have a time constraint to be successful should be identified with a technical basis and a justification provided that the time can reasonably be met (for example, a walkthrough of deployment).
Actions already identified under the HCVS part of this template need not be repeated here.There are three time periods for the maintaining SA WM actions such that the W4W vent remains available to remove decay heat from the containment:
- SAWM can be maintained for >7 days without the need for a dmywell vent to maintain pressure below PCPL or containment design pressure, whichever is lower.o Under this approach, no detail concerning plant modifications or procedures is with respect to how alternate containment heat removal will be provided.* SAWM can be maintained for at least 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />, but less than 7 days before DWpressure reaches PCPL or design pressure, whichever is lower.o Under this approach, a functional description is required of how alternate containment heat removal might be established before DW pressure reaches PCPL or design pressure whichever is lower~.

SAWM can be maintained
>7 days: Dresden has not performed a site specific evaluation to justify the use of a lower site unique initial SAWA flow rate. Consequently, Dresden will assume an initial flow rate of 421 GPM. This is based on the Industry generic value of 500 gpm multiplied by (Dresden rated power/Rated power for the generic plant).This initial flow rate will be established within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> of the loss of all RPV injection following an ELAP/Severe Accident and will be maintained for four hours before reduction to the Wetwell vent preservation flow rate of 85 gpm.Page 35 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 3: Boundary Conditions for EA-13-109, Option 2 Instrumentation relied upon for SAWM operations is Drywell Pressure, Suppression Pool level and SAWA flow.Except for SAWA flow, SAWM instruments are initially powered by station batteries.
After Station battery depletion, these parameters will be monitored by portable test equipment using small batteries that will be available for the Sustained Operation period (7 days). The SAWA flow instrument will be self-powered from an internal power supply capable of being replenished, if needed, through the Sustained Operation period. DW Temperature monitoring is not a requirement for compliance with Phase 2 of the order, but some knowledge of temperature characteristics provides information for the operation staff to evaluate plant conditions under a severe accident and provide confirmation to adjust SAWA flow rates (Ref. 9: C.7.l.4.2, C.8.3.1).Suppression Pool level indication is maintained throughout the Sustained Operation period, so the HCVS remains in-service.
The time to reach the level at which the WW vent must be secured is >7 days using SAWM flowrates (Ref. 9: C.6.3, C.7.1.4.3).
Procedures will be developed that control the Suppression Pool level, while ensuring the DW pressure indicates the core is being cooled, whether in-vessel or ex-vessel.
Procedures will dictate conditions during which SAWM flowrate should be adjusted (up or down) using suppression pool level and DW pressure as controlling parameters to remove the decay heat from the containment. (This is similar to the guidance currently provided in the .BWROG SAMGs.) (Ref. 9: C.7.1.4.3)

Drills and Maintenance Describe maintenance plan: o The maintenance program should ensure that the HCVS/SAWA/SAWM equipment reliability is being achieved in a manner similar to that required for FLEX equipment.
Standard industr~y templates (e.g., EPRI) and associated bases may be developed to define specific maintenance and testing.o Periodic testing and frequency should be determined based on equipment type and expected use (further details are provided in Part 6 of this document).
o Testing should be done to verify design requirements and/or basis. The basis should be documented and deviations fr'om vendor recommendations and applicable standards should be justifiled.
o Preventive maintenance should be determined based on equipment type and expected use. The basis should be documented and deviations from vendor recommendations and applicable standards should be justified.
o Existing work control processes may be used to control maintenance and testing.* HCVS/SA WA permanent installed equipment should be maintained in a manner that is consistent with assuring that it performs its function when required.o HCVS/SAWA permanently installed equipment should be subject to maintenance and testing guidance provided to verify proper function.* HCVS/SAWA non-installed equipment should be stored and maintained in a manner that is consistent with assuring that it does not degrade over long periods of storage and that it is accessible for periodic maintenance andt testing.Ref: EA-13-109 Section 1.2.13 / NEL 13-02 Section 5.4, 6.2 Dresden will utilize the standard EPRI industry PM process (similar to the Preventive Maintenance Basis Database) for establishing the maintenance calibration and testing actions for HCVS/SAWA/SAWM components.
The control program will include maintenance guidance, testing procedures and frequencies established based on type of equipment and considerations made within the EPRI guidelines.
Dresden will implement the following operation, testing and inspection requirements for the HCVS and SAWA to ensure reliable operation of the system.Table 4-1: Testing and Inspection Requirements Description Frequency Cycle the HCVS and installed SAWA valves' Once per every 2 operating cycle and the interfacing system valves not used to maintain containment integrity during Mode 1, 2 and 3.

SAMGs are symptom based guidelines and therefo~re address a wide variety of possible plant conditions and capabilities while these changes are intended to accommodate those specific conditions assumed in Order EA-13-109. The changes will be made in a way that maintains the use of SAMGs in a s)ymptom based mode while at the same time addressing those conditions that may exist under extended loss of AC power (ELAP) conditions with significant core damage including ex-vessel core debris.Actual Approved Language that will be incorporated into site SAMG*Cautions: SAddressing the possible plant response associated with adding water to hot core debris and the resulting pressurization of the primary containment by rapid steam generation.
- Addressing the plant impact that raising suppression pool water level above the elevation of the suppression chamber vent opening elevation will flood the suppression chamber vent path.Priorities:
With significant core damage and RPV breach, SAMGs prioritize the preservation of primary containment integrity while limiting radioactivity releases as follows:* Core debris in the primary containment is stabilized by water addition (SAWA).* Primary containment pressure is controlled below the Primary Containment Pressure Limit (Wetwell venting).* Water addition is managed to preserve the Mark I/II suppression chamber vent paths, thereby retaining the benefits of suppression pool scrubbing and minimizing the likelihood of radioactivity and hydrogen release into the secondary containment (SAWM).Methods: Identify systems and capabilities to add water to the RPV or drywell, with the Ib)llowing generic guidance:* Use controlled injection if possible.* Inject into the RPV if possible.Maintain injection from external sources of water as low as possible to preserve suppression chamber vent capability.
- Actual language may vary by acceptable site procedure standards, but intent and structure should follow this guidance.Page 51 of 69 Dresden Nuclear Power Station Units 2 and 3 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Attachment 3: Conceptual Sketches (Conceptual sketches, as necessary to indicate equipment which is installed or equipment hookups necessary for the strategies)
