The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has reviewed the information provided in your application and your responses to NRC staff requests for additional information (RAI) related specifically to the probabilistic risk analysis portions of these documents, and determined that the following additional information is required to complete its review.
REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Note: The questions below use the numbering system established in the RA/ issued to STPNOC on April 11, 2016 (ADAMS Accession No. ML16082A507). The system consists of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) Branch acronym (i.e., Probabilistic Risk Assessment Licensing Branch or APLA), the NRG RA/ Round No., then a sequential number starting with 1.
APLA-4-1: NRC Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.174, Revision 2, "An Approach for Using Probabilistic Risk Assessment in Risk-Informed Decisions on Plant-Specific Changes to the Licensing Basis," May 2011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML100900006), states, in part, that, "the
[probabilistic risk assessment (PRA)] should realistically reflect the actual design, construction, Enclosure
operational practices, and operational experience of the plant." Therefore, whether a particular accident sequence (e.g., secondary side break followed by sump recirculation) is part of a plant's licensing basis is immaterial when performing a risk analysis. For example, accident sequences involving common cause failures are not part of a plant's licensing basis since the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) Chapter 15 accident analyses require consideration of only a single active failure. Yet operational experience shows that these types of accidents can occur and they therefore must be modeled by the plant's PRA. Consistent with this guidance, the risk assessment of debris should consider all hazards, initiating events, and plant operating modes. It should not be limited to design-basis accidents, licensing basis events, specific plant operating modes, or specific initiating events such as a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA).
In the licensee's submittal dated October 13, 2013, Enclosure 4-2, "South Texas Project Risk-Informed Closure of GSl-191, Volume 2, Probabilistic Risk Analysis" (Reference 1), provides the screening rationale and concluded in Section 12.3 that "Medium and large LOCAs from internal events only are retained for further consideration with respect to core damage resulting from GSl-191 phenomena." The Volume 2 document also stated that the full-power analysis bounds consequences of other plant states.
A supplemental analysis (Risk-Over-Deterministic or RoverD) was submitted in STPNOC's letter dated August 20, 2015 (Attachment 1-3; Reference 2), which did not supersede previous submittals but purported to be "stand-alone." This raises the question regarding the applicability of the earlier information.
Please confirm that the conclusion in Section 12.3 in the earlier submittal (Reference 1) applies to the Rovero supplemental analysis (Reference 3); that is, confirm that all hazards, initiating events, and plant operating modes were screened out of consideration except medium and large LOCAs and that full-power operation is the only operating mode that merits consideration in the detailed Rovero analyses.
APLA-4-2: NUREG-1829, "Estimating Loss-of-Coolant Accident (LOCA) Frequencies Through the Elicitation Process," April 2008 (ADAMS Accession No. ML082250436), includes only breaks caused by long-term material degradation. Other potential contributors to LOCA
- frequency such as seismically induced LOCA (both direct and indirect) should be evaluated separately. A "direct" seismically induced LOCA involves rupture of a piping or non-piping component caused by the seismic event itself. An "indirect" seismically induced LOCA is caused by, for example, failure of piping or component supports that leads to the consequential failure of the piping or non-piping component.
In its May 22, 2014, response to an NRC RAI dated April 14, 2014 (ADAMS Accession No. ML14087A075), STP provided an estimate of the frequency of seismically induced LOCA (Attachment 1, p. 24/86; Reference 4). However, the response did not appear to consider indirect seismically induced LOCAs. One acceptable approach for evaluating indirect seismically induced LOCAs is for the analyst to use the method described by NUREG-1903, "Seismic Considerations for the Transition Break Size," Section 4.6, "Indirectly Induced Piping Failures," February 2008 (ADAMS Accession No. ML080880140). "Representative" values in the NUREG could be replaced with site-specific fragility and hazard information that, as appropriate, accounts for any effects of material degradation or aging. Alternatively, it may be
demonstrated that the representative values are bounding for the site with consideration of effects due to material degradation or aging.
Please clarify whether the analysis documented in the RAI response considered indirect seismic LOCAs. If not, provide an analysis accounting for indirect damage mechanics eventually leading to rupture of piping and non-piping systems and LOCA events. For both direct and indirect seismically induced LOCAs, estimate, bound or screen any increase in seismic risk due to debris.
APLA-4-3: NUREG-1829 LOCA frequencies include only breaks caused by long-term material degradation. Other potential contributors to LOCA frequency, such as water hammer, should be evaluated separately.
One acceptable approach for evaluating water hammer is to verify that the potential for water hammer is not likely to cause pipe rupture in the break locations that can produce and transport problematic debris. Water hammer includes various unanticipated high-frequency hydrodynamic events, such as steam hammer and water slugging. To demonstrate that component failure risk due to water hammer is acceptably low, the analyst could take the following actions:
- Assess historical frequencies of water hammer events affecting break locations (piping and non-piping) that could generate and transport debris.
- Evaluate operating procedures and conditions and demonstrate that they are effective in precluding water hammer.
- Alternatively, the analyst can demonstrate the following:
o Plant changes, such as the use of J-tubes, vacuum breakers, and jockey pumps, coupled with improved operating procedures, have been used to successfully mitigate water hammer events.
o Measures used to abate water hammer frequency and magnitude have been effective over the licensing period of the plant.
Please evaluate the relevance of water hammer events in the context of GSl-191 and estimate, bound, or screen any increase in risk due to water hammer events.
APLA-4-4: Please provide values of total risk estimates (also including water hammer and seismically induced LOCA) for the plant expressed as core damage frequency (CDF) and large early release frequency (LERF). Those values are not available in the recent Rovero analysis (Reference 2). This information is needed to compare pairs {CDF, llCDF} and {LERF, llLERF}
to risk acceptance guidelines in RG 1.174.
APLA-4-5: Title 10 to the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Subsection 50.46(b)(5),
Long-term cooling, and Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50, General Design Criterion 35, Emergency core cooling, state, in part, that the emergency core cooling system (ECCS) must provide core cooling for extended periods following postulated LOCAs. Licensing basis analyses used to demonstrate compliance with these regulations have historically analyzed the effects of debris
in a deterministic manner. STPNOC has submitted a pilot LAR and a series of exemptions that, if approved, would change its licensing basis by using a risk-informed treatment of debris (Reference 3). RG 1.174 contains five key principles for performing risk-informed changes to a plant's licensing basis. Principle 5 states that an implementation and monitoring program should be utilized to ensure that the conclusions reached by the staff (e.g., that the increase in risk is small) remain valid after the change is implemented.
The NRC staff has determined that it does not yet have adequate assurance that principle 5 of RG 1.174 is met and that there are sufficient regulatory controls of the key elements of the STP risk-informed assessment of debris.
Specifically, the NRC requires regulatory assurance of the continued applicability of the results of the risk-informed approach for consideration of debris in order to issue the requested license amendments and grand the associated exemptions. In order to obtain this regulatory assurance, certain aspects of the risk-informed approach must (1) be subject to an ongoing monitoring program consistent with principle 5 of RG 1.174; (2) be periodically updated; (3) continue to use methods acceptable to the NRC; and (4) be subject to reporting and corrective action when the risk-informed acceptance criteria are not met. The NRC also requires regulatory assurance that the risk-informed approach will not be employed for plant design changes that would increase the problematic debris source term without prior NRC review and approval.
Please provide assurance of appropriate regulatory considerations:
- a. Prior to changing the key methods, approaches, and data of the risk-informed analysis set forth in (reference).
- b. Prior to using the risk-informed approach to justify future plant design changes that would increase the problematic debris source term compared to the level that existed as of (date).
- c. STPNOC will implement and maintain a program to monitor key assumptions and data used in the risk assessment and the evaluation of defense-in-depth and safety margins. The monitoring program must assess the effects of design or plant modifications, procedure changes, as-found conditions, identified changes or errors in the analysis, industry operating experience, and any other information that could result in increased risk, or decreased defense-in-depth or safety margins, under the alternative risk-informed approach. The results of the monitoring program should be retained onsite for inspection.
- d. STPNOC will update the risk-informed evaluation no later than 48 months after initial NRC approval or the latest update and compare the risk results, CDF, LERF, L1CDF, and L1LERF, to the acceptance criteria in the safety evaluation that accompanies the requested LAR (reference).
- e. In the event that the acceptance criteria for the risk-informed analysis are not met:
- 1. STPNOC will notify the NRC in accordance with 10 CFR § 50. 72 or 50. 73 to notify the NRC that the acceptance criteria has been exceeded; and,
- 2. STPNOC will take timely action to ensure that the acceptance criteria are met.
These requirements are in addition to (and separate from) the reporting requirements in 10 CFR 50.46(a).
APLA-4-6: Please confirm the accuracy of the computation of the LiCDF for the double-ended guillotine break (DEGB)-only model that was provided (References 2 and 3). It appears that the current approach assumes, for example, that a 12.8-in DEGB could occur in larger diameter pipes (e.g., 27.5-in, 29-in, and 31-in diameter pipes). Include arithmetic and geometric mean approaches.
