Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan General Integrated Plan Elements BWR Site: Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (OCNGS)

Determine Applicable Input the hazards applicable to the site; seismic, external Extreme External Hazard flood, high winds, snow, ice, cold, high temps.

Describe how NEI 12-06 sections 5 - 9 were applied and Ref: NEI 12-06 section 4.0 -9.0 the basis for why the plant screened out for certain hazards.

JLD-ISG-2012-01 section 1.0 Seismic events, except soil liquefaction, external flooding; severe storms with high winds; snow, ice and extreme cold; and high temperatures were determined to be applicable Extreme External Hazards for Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (OCNGS) per the guidance of NEI 12-06 and are as follows:

Seismic Hazard Assessment Per the Updated Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) the basis for the seismic design criteria at the OCNGS is presented in Section 3.7. The historical seismicity of the site as described in the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey publication "Earthquake History of the United States, Part I" and the "Seismic Probability Map of the United States" (U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey) were examined by Professor George

w. Housner of the California Institute of Technology. The results of the study are as follows:
a. Small earthquakes have occurred in the general New Jersey area and others can be expected to occur there in the future.
b. The nearest large earthquakes were centered approximately 500 miles from the site. These were the Charleston, South Carolina shock of August 31, 1886, centered approximately 500 miles southwest of the site and the earthquake of February 28, 1925, near Quebec at 47.6°N, 70.1 ow centered approximately 500 miles north of the site.
c. The seismic probability map assigns New Jersey to Zone 1 with zones being classified as follows:

Page 1 of64

Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan Zone 0 - no damage Zone 1 - minor damage Zone 2 - moderate damage Zone 3 - major damage

d. The nearest known fault is approximately 40 miles from the site at Morrisville, Pennsylvania, and there is no evidence of faulting near the site. It is concluded that the probability of fault displacements occurring in the vicinity of the reactor structure is negligibly small.
e. The seismicity of the general region of the Oyster Creek Site is so low that it would be expected to have a low intensity of ground motion. The shocks in this region are too small to be listed in "Seismicity of the Earth" by Gutenberg and Richter, and the U.S. Coast and Geodetic survey publication does not give information on the magnitudes of the shocks.

The response spectra, discussed in Section 3.7, are based upon a ground acceleration of O.IIg or 3.54 feet per second.

The derivation of this ground acceleration is as follows: The spectrum intensity for California Zone 3 is assumed to be 10.2 = 2.7. Reference can be made to AEC publication TID-7024, Table 1.6.

The corresponding spectrum intensities for other zones may be taken to be:

10.2 Zone 0 0.33 Zone 1 0.67 Zone 2 1.35 Zone 3 2.70 The seismic probability map (Figure 1.10 of TID-7024) assigns New Jersey to Zone 1. Professor Housner recommended using an intensity 10.2 = 0.67 x 1.40 = 0.94 as the probable maximum intensity to be expected at the site during the life of the plant.

Table 1.6 in TID-7024 gives the maximum ground acceleration for the May 18, 1940, EI Centro earthquake as 0.33g with a spectrum intensity of 10.2 =2.7. This has been assumed to be equivalent to a California Zone 3 earthquake.

Reducing the acceleration by the factor 0.9412.70 gives a ground acceleration of O.llg. The OCNGS re~onse Page 2 of 64

Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan spectrum, corresponds to a spectrum intensity of 10.2 = 0.94 or an intensity of approximately one third that of Zone 3.

The application of this spectrum to design was set forth in G.W. Housner's "Design of Nuclear Power Reactors Against Earthquake." A detailed explanation is given in the AEC publication TID-7024. Refer to Section 3.7 for further detail.

In 1992, Weston Geophysical developed a new site specific design input response spectra generated from a suite of 67 horizontal earthquake time history records and the corresponding 34 vertical records. The peak ground accelerations associated with the Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE) are obtained from the 84% non-exceedance probability of the data and are equal to 0.184g. horizontal and 0.0952g. vertical. The operating basis earthquake accelerations are one-half the SSE accelerations and are, therefore, equal to 0.092g. horizontal and 0.0476g. vertical.

The SSE Site Specific Response Spectra (SSRS) are contained in Reference 2 and were approved by the US NRC in March, 1992, as shown in Reference 1.

Building and Structure Foundations Buildings and structures are founded generally in the third stratum (Cohansey sand) described in UFSAR Subsection 2.5.1.4. After excavation, backfilling and rolling, soil compression tests were made in the Reactor Building and Turbine Building areas, using loads up to 80,000 pounds on a four square foot plate. In the Reactor Building area a loading of 20,000 pounds per square foot gave a deflection of 0.003 inches in eight hours, and in the Turbine Building area the deflection from this loading was 0.009 to 0.14 inches in eight hours. These results were highly satisfactory from the standpoint of safety against overstressing the subsoil, for the 8000 pounds per square foot loadings used and even for the 13,000 pounds per square foot loadings used for the earthquake criteria. So far as settlements are concerned, the increased stresses during earthquakes would have no measurable effects upon the settlements in this type of highly compacted soils.

Observed settlements of the Reactor Building from the start of construction until May 1968 range between 2/3 inch and 3/4 inch.

All available information and test results confirm that the Page 3 of 64

Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan Cohansey sand has a dense to very dense relative density.

Results also indicate a marked increase in standard penetration resistance (N-values) at about elevation (-)30 feet. The direct determination of relative densities from undisturbed samples indicated that the relative density of the Cohansey sand is greater than 70 percent.

Liquefaction The potential for earthquake induced soil liquefaction and ground failures was evaluated for the Oyster Creek site by Geomatrix Consultants as documented in their report,

" Assessments of potential for Liquefaction and Permanent Ground Displacement at Designated Facilities, Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (December 1994)". The likelihood of soil liquefaction for varying water table conditions was evaluated and expressed in terms of probabilities of occurrence of a given ground acceleration.

Should soil liquefaction occur, foundation bearing strength failures are not expected, but ground settlements on the order of 0.5 to 1.0 inch could be expected.

The Reactor Building is founded on the Lower Cohansey formation, which consists of compacted sands with a geological age of more than 10 million years. Due to the compaction of these sands (equivalent strength of much higher than 30 blows Ifoot), significant liquefaction below the Reactor Building is unlikely to occur for any level of earthquake induced ground shaking. The assessment also notes that the "geological age of the Cohansey sands (10,000,000+ years old) would also indicate a low susceptibility to liquefaction, as such relatively old deposits have not been known to liquefy during historic earthquakes. "

For the Turbine Building, the assessment found that liquefaction of fill beneath portions of the building would require a peak ground acceleration in excess of 0.70g.

The Emergency Diesel Generator building is founded on fill that was placed to construct the slope between the building and the discharge canal. For this construction, soil liquefaction can be expected to occur at peak ground acceleration of 0.40g. Therefore, soil liquefaction below the Emergency Diesel Generator Building was separately considered. The effect of this phenomena is to increase the likelihood of failure of the diesel generator building itself, Page 4 of 64

Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan as noted in Table 3-2 (Reference 3), in addition to increasing the failure likelihood of the diesel generators themselves, as noted in Table 3-6 (Reference 3).

Incorporation of the failure is described in Section 3.1.5 (Reference 3), top event designator DU(DG Building Liquefaction).

Finally, the fire protection piping may be vulnerable to permanent ground movements where it crosses the discharge canal. Soil liquefaction can be expected to occur at a ground acceleration of OAOg; however, the discharge canal banks will serve to support the piping and significant displacement is not expected below 1.0g. Due to the extent of piping that is susceptible to this disruption, fire protection piping failure is conservatively assumed to occur following liquefaction at the 1.0g peak ground acceleration. The incorporation of this failure mode is described in Section 3.1.5 (Reference 3) under top event designator FX (Fire Protection System).

Thus, the Oyster Creek site screens in for an assessment for seismic hazard.

External Flood Hazard Assessment:

The current licensing basis includes two bounding floods:

the Probable Maximum Hurricane (PMH) and the Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP). Tsunami events are not typical of the eastern coast of the United States and are not addressed in the Current Licensing Basis (CLB). Dam failure was evaluated and no flooding which would affect safety related structures was postulated for the site as stated in the UFSAR, Section 204.

The PMH postulated for OCNGS is evaluated in UFSAR section 204, Appendix A. The hurricane considered is a Category 4 storm with wind speeds of 133 mph, a forward speed between 12 knots and 23 knots, occurring along with an astronomical high open-ocean tide of 2.7' MSL. This storm results in a storm surge still water level of 22' MSL, with waves at plant site of up to I' high. The main plant grade is at 23' MSL.

The PMP event postulated for OCNGS was evaluated most recently in the site Individual Plant Examination of External Events (IPEEE) Request for Additional Information (RAI) response (OCNGS Reply to RAI on IPEEE, 8117/2000).

Page 5 of 64

Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan The site was divided up into nine watersheds, two of which were postulated to have significant ponding. The turbine building and EDG building are not susceptible to this ponding. Onsite water levels were calculated to be 23.6' immediately adjacent to the Reactor Building and 23.5' over the remainder of the site. The PMP is not assumed to occur coincidental with the PMH.

The Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station is considered a dry site. This is due to the Reactor, Turbine and Emergency Diesel Generator buildings being at or above the two bounding floods. The loss of the Ultimate Heat Sink (UHS) occurs when the PMH level is reached. However, Oyster Creek is considered a "Hot Shutdown Plant" and it does not require the UHS to be available to achieve this state. The Isolation Condensers are the Station Blackout credited source of decay heat removal.

The station has two bounding floods with the potential to impact the protection and deployment of FLEX strategy equipment. Thus the Oyster Creek site screens in for an assessment for external flooding.

Snow, Ice and Extreme Cold Hazard Assessment:

The guidelines provided in NEI 12-06 (Section 8.2.1) generally include the need to consider extreme snowfall at plant sites in the northeastern U.S. above the 35 th parallel.

The OCNGS is located above the 35 th parallel (actual latitude and longitude N 39° 49' and W 74° 12') and thus the capability to address impedances caused by extreme snowfall with snow removal equipment need to be provided.

Icing effects have been considered during the Systematic Evaluation Program (SEP) assessment. During normal plant operation, icing has been limited to the canal area outside of the steel trash grates. The area in close proximity to the intake, where the suction of the pumps is taken, is kept from freezing by the thermal dilution gates, which recirculate discharge water through the intake bay, and by the turbulence induced by the circulating water pumps. The discharge canal remains free of ice during normal operation due to the plant-heated effluent.

It is unlikely that ice blockage would cause problems to any safety related systems as the emergency service water flow utilizes approximately only 3 percent of the design capacity of the 6 screens on the intake structure (UFSAR section Page 6 of64

Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan 2.4.7).

The FLEX equipment is housed in a building that is heated during the winter months. The FLEX pump engine and Ford F750 truck have block heaters that are maintained energized. The current building needs to be evaluated to determine if it meets the requirements of NEI 12-06 section 11.

The site is subject to heavy winter storms. Based on figure 8-1 in NEI 12-06 (Section 8.2.1), impedance caused by extreme snowfall with snow removal equipment has to be considered for FLEX equipment deployment. The FLEX truck (Ford F750) is equipped with a plow for debris and snow removal.

Thus, the Oyster Creek site screens in for an assessment for Extreme Cold Hazard Assessment.

High Wind Hazard Assessment:

Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station is located in Lacey Township, New Jersey, roughly 9 miles south of Toms River and 50 miles east of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The site is adjacent to Oyster Creek, about two miles inland from the shore of Barnegat Bay. Per NEI 12-06 guidance hurricanes and tornado hazards are applicable to Oyster Creek. Figure 7-2 from the NEI FLEX implementation Guide was used for this assessment.

Thus, Oyster Creek screens in for an assessment for High Wind Hazard.

Extreme High Temperature Hazard Assessment:

The highest recorded temperature documented in the UFSAR for Southern New Jersey was listed as 106 OF (Reference 4). Per the NEI 12-06 guidance, extreme high temperature hazard should be considered by all sites.

Thus, Oyster Creek screens in for an assessment for extreme High Temperature.

Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan resulting from a beyond-design-basis event by providing adequate capability to maintain or restore core cooling, containment, and SFP cooling capabilities. Though specific strategies are being developed, due to the inability to anticipate all possible scenarios, the strategies are also diverse and flexible to encompass a wide range of possible conditions. These pre-planned strategies developed to protect the public health and safety will be incorporated into the unit emergency operating procedures in accordance with established EOP change processes, and their impact to the design basis capabilities of the unit evaluated under 10 CFR 50.59. The plant Technical Specifications contain the limiting conditions for normal unit operations to ensure that design safety features are available to respond to a design basis accident and direct the required actions to be taken when the limiting conditions are not met. The result of the beyond-design-basis event may place the plant in a condition where it cannot comply with certain Technical Specifications, and, as such, may warrant invocation of 10 CFR 50.54(x) and/or 10 CFR 73.55(p).

Time Constraints and Technical Basis (Action Items from Attachment tA)

Action Item # 3 10 min. Time critical Control room crew needs to determine that the EDGs failed to start and the ability to start the Combustion Turbines by the system operator has failed. Entry into ELAP/FLEX strategies will direct a cool down using the Isolation Condensers, lineup of shell makeup and RPV injection at times that support maintaining core cooling and limiting heat input into the containment. (References 6, 9 and 10)

The DC buses are readily available for operator access to load strip. Breakers will be appropriately identified (labeled) to show which are required to be opened to effect a deep load shed. From the time that ELAP conditions are declared, it is reasonable to expect that operators can complete the DC bus load shed in approximately 30 minutes. (References 3, 4 and 5)

Action Item # 8 1.5 hrs Aligning the FLEX pump and initiating makeup to the Isolation Condenser shell side in this time frame ensures the condenser tubes remain covered, and allows the Isolation Condenser to remain in service for RPY pressure control. Maintaining the Isolation Condensers available for pressure control and decay heat removal throughout the event will conserve RPY inventory and limit containment heat input from RPY system leakage, ensuring containment parameters remain within design limits for the 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> coping time (References 8, 9 and 10).

Action Item #10 3 hrs. Closing the Recirculation suction, discharge, and discharge bypass valves will significantly reduce the Reactor leakage from the Recirculation loops thereby extending the Reactor coping time and reducing heat input into primary containment.

Action Item # 12 3.8 hrs. Commence injecting into the reactor using the FLEX pump and restore level to the normal band.

(References 9 and 10)

Action Item # 14 12 hrs. Spent Fuel Pool (SFP) makeup is not a time constraint with the initial condition of 100% power, since the worst case fuel pool heat load conditions only exist during a refueling outage. Under non-outage conditions, the maximum SFP heat load is 5.04 MBTUlhr. Loss of Page 11 of64

Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan Maintain Core Cooling Determine Baseline coping capability with installed coping} modifications not including FLEX modifications, utilizing methods described in Table 3-1 of NEI 12-06:

  • RCICIHPCIIIC
  • Depressurize RPV for injection with portable injection source
  • Sustained water source BWR Installed Equipment Phase 1:

Provide a generaL description of the coping strategies using installed equipment including modifications that are proposed to maintain core cooling. Identify methods (RCICIHPCIIIC)and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.

Reactor Level and pressure Control At the initiation of the BDBEE the Main Steam Isolation valves (MSIVs) will close, Condensate and Feedwater is lost and the Isolation Condensers (lCs) will initiate to control reactor pressure.

The ICs are designed to remove 410 X 106 Btu/hr and can provide emergency cooling for 1 hr.

40 min. without makeup (UFSAR section 6.3.1 .1.2). The Isolation Condensers condensate return valves are DC operated and controlled by 3-position switches (Open! Auto/ closed). The switches snap into the 3 positions; the only position that auto initiation or isolation function is active is in the auto position. Placing the switch in open or closed will bypass these functions.

Operators will limit the cool down to less than 10 OF per hour until it is determined that an ELAP condition exists. At this time, a SO°F per hour cool down will commence to support RPV injection at 3.8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> assuming that ICs FLEX makeup is available at 1.S hrs.

If the Isolation Condensers become unavailable then pressure control will shift to the Electromatic Relief Valves still maintaining a less than 10°F per hour cool down. This is maintained until an injection source becomes available or Top of Active Fuel (TAF) is reached at which time Emergency Depressurization is required. If no injection source is available, steam cooling will be entered per the EOPs. The EOPs direct the use of the Fire Diesels to provide makeup to the reactor and will be available for all events except seismic and PMH. Current battery coping times per UFSAR section 8.3.2.1.1 and section 8.3.2.1.2 are 8 hrs. for the "C" battery (power for "B" Isolation Condenser) and 3 hrs. for the "B" battery (power for the "A" Isolation Condenser). A DC load analysis is being performed to determine the battery coping time with no actions and with battery load shed. Oyster Creek currently does not have a battery load shed procedure. Using the results of the analysis, a load shed procedure will be developed to extend DC coping time.

Overall Response The MAAP, Reference 4, was utilized to evaluate overall response of installed systems per the system utilization described above. Isolation condensers are cycled to maintain reactor pressure between 900 to 1000 psig until the shell side water level drops to below the tube bundle at 1.8 hrs.

1 Coping modifications consist of modifications installed to increase initial coping time, i.e., generators to preserve vital instruments or increase operating time on battery powered equipment.

Page 16 of64

Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan Water level drops to TAF at 4.2 hrs. At this point the EOPs will direct the operators to initiate Steam Cooling with no makeup available.

Based on the above information, the coping time for the Oyster Creek station using installed equipment is 4.2 hrs.

Cold shutdown and refueling When in Cold Shutdown and Refueling, many variables exist which impact the ability to cool the core. In the event of an ELAP during these Modes, installed plant systems cannot be relied upon to cool the core; thus, transition to Phase 2 will begin immediately. All efforts will be made to expeditiously provide core cooling and minimize heat-up and repressurization. Exelon has a program in place, References 5 and 6, to determine the time to boil for all conditions during shutdown periods. This time will be used to determine the time required to complete transition to Phase 2.

To accommodate the activities of vessel disassembly and refueling, water levels in the reactor vessel and the reactor cavity are often changed. The most limiting condition is the case in which the reactor head is removed and water level in the vessel is at or below the reactor vessel flange. If an ELAP/LUHS occurs during this condition then (depending on the time after shutdown) boiling in the core may occur quite rapidly.

Deploying and implementing portable FLEX pumps to supply injection flow must commence immediately from the time of the event. This should be plausible because more personnel are on site during outages to provide the necessary resources. Strategies for makeup water include deploying a FLEX pump to take suction from the UHS (Intake or Discharge canal) as described in the Phase 2 Core Cooling section.

Guidance will be provided to ensure that sufficient area is available for deployment and that haul paths remain accessible without interference from outage equipment during refueling outages.

Provide a general description o/the coping strategies using on-site portable equipment including modifications that are proposed to maintain core cooling. Identify methods (RCICIHPc/IIC)and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.

During Phase 2, reactor makeup will be provided by the FLEX pump taking suction from the UHS (Intake or Discharge canal). The pump has the capacity to make up to the Reactor and the Isolation Condenser shells. The new seismic connections are in the conceptual design phase and will be located inside the Reactor Building NW airlock. This central location will provide connections for the Reactor, Isolation Condenser shell and Spent Fuel Pool makeup accessible from the NW and NE Reactor Building airlocks. The FLEX pump will take suction from the Intake or Discharge canal and hoses will be run to the new connections. Makeup to the Reactor will be via Core Spray system 1.

480VAC power will be restored using modified spare breaker frames with cables adapted to plug into a portable 3-phase 480V AC generator. This will allow repowering the 480V AC USS 1A2 and IB2 and restore the battery chargers for the station batteries and provide power to the MCCs to operate valves and other essential loads. After power is restored, the Recirculation Pump isolation valves on four (4) loops can be closed to reduce the recirculation pump seal leakage. The Isolation Condensers will be used to maintain Reactor pressure and remove decay heat for an indefinite period of time.

Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan Maintain Containment Determine Baseline coping capability with installed copingl modifications not including FLEX modifications, utilizing methods described in Table 3-1 of NEI 12-06:

  • Containment Venting or Alternate Heat Removal
  • Hydro~en I~niters (Mark III containments only)

BWR Installed Equipment Phase 1:

Provide a generaL description of the coping strategies using installed equipment incLuding modifications that are proposed to maintain core cooling. Identify methods (containment vent or alternative / Hydrogen Igniters) and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.

Coping strategies for primary containment in Phase 1 will be to remove decay heat via the Isolation Condensers (lCs) to minimize heat input to primary containment. The ICs remove decay heat with no loss of inventory from the reactor coolant system and no addition of heat to the suppression pool. As long as the shell side of the ICs is replenished (Phase 2) with sufficient water, they will remove adequate decay heat to maintain core cooling and limit the heat input to the containment.

During Phase 1, containment integrity is maintained by normal design features of the containment, such as the containment isolation valves. In accordance with NEI 12-06, the containment is assumed to be isolated following the event.

Reliable Hardened Vent System (RHVS) will be available for use to vent containment. The Hardened Vent Containment Isolation valves will be operated by an independent DC system to ensure reliability. Monitoring of containment (drywell) pressure and temperature will be available via normal plant instrumentation. Early venting of the containment (BWROG EOP Revision EPG/SAG Rev.3) will serve to limit containment pressure rise and Torus temperature rise.

BWROG EOP Revision EPG/SAG Rev.3, containing items such as guidance to allow early venting and to maintain steam driven injection equipment available during emergency depressurization, is approved and will be implemented in time to support the Oyster Creek compliance date.

  • Makeup with Portable Injection Source BWR Installed Equipment Phase 1:

Provide a generaL description of the coping strategies using installed equipment including modifications that are proposed to maintain spent fueL pooL cooling. Identify methods (makeup with portabLe injection source)and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.

There are no Phase 1 actions required at this time that need to be addressed. Below is a description of the SFSP and the decay heat loading for the pool. Effects from loss of cooling are also included which indicate no operator action is required for 68.66 hours7.638889e-4 days <br />0.0183 hours <br />1.09127e-4 weeks <br />2.5113e-5 months <br /> (time to boil off to the top of fuel racks) after loss of cooling.

The spent fuel storage pool is 27 feet by 39 feet in plan with a total water depth of approximately 37 feet 9 inches, and an actual physical depth of 38'-9". The depth of water to the top of the stored fuel is approximately 25 feet, providing some 200,000 gallons of water above the fuel.

The pool is presently licensed to store 3035 fuel assemblies. Other equipment, such as control rods, spent nuclear instrumentation, and small vessel components, are temporarily stored in the spent fuel pool. Additional storage for large components, such as the steam dryer and the steam separator, is provided in a separate storage pool adjacent to the drywell heat cavity.

The fuel pool cooling system (UFSAR Subsection 9.1.3) cools, filters and demineralizes the fuel pool water. Failure of the fuel pool cooling system cannot cause the fuel to be uncovered. Normal demineralized water makeup to the pool is provided from the 525,000 gallon (nominal capacity)

Condensate Storage Tank at a rate of 250 gpm by a single condensate transfer pump. The makeup capability from this system is increased to approximately 420 gpm if both condensate transfer pumps are used. Makeup water is added directly to the pool's surge tanks by manual valve operation on elevation 119'. Additional makeup, at a rate of 150 gpm, can be provided from the (nominal) 175,000 gallon Demineralized Water Storage Tank by the demineralized water transfer pumps through the use of hoses. Other sources of water are also available through the lise of fire hoses or portable pumps. The makeup system for the spent fuel pool is not a Seismic Category I system. The 2000 gpm diesel driven fire pumps for the Fire Protection System can be used to provide makeup water from the Fire Pond to the Condensate Storage Tank through a permanent connection.

The pool is designed with substantial capability for withstanding the effects of a tornado. The design makes removal of more than five feet of water, due to tornado action, highly improbable.

Protection is provided against all tornado generated missiles, having a probability of hitting the 3 Coping modifications consist of modifications installed to increase initial coping time, i.e., generators to preserve vital instruments or increase opemting time on battery powered equipment.

Page 35 of64

Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan fuel larger than once per 1.4 billion reactor lifetimes. Large equipment stored on the refueling floor, such as the reactor vessel head, shielding blocks, and other components, have a mass-to-surface area ratio such that they cannot become missiles under the postulated tornado conditions and, thus, could not be blown into the pool.

The maximum normal decay heat load for the SFPC System corresponds to the decay heat from a normal refuel offload (-188 spent fuel assemblies) with the SFSP full from successive normal refuel offloads. The maximum normal decay heat load, ten days after a reactor shutdown, has been calculated at 8.66 MBTU/HR.

The maximum augmented decay heat load for the SFPC System corresponds to the decay heat from a full core offload (560 spent fuel assemblies) with the SFSP full from successive normal fuel offloads. Approximately 95% of this decay heat load is generated from the full core offload and the last two normal fuel offloads. The maximum augmented decay heat load, ten days after a reactor shutdown, has been calculated at 20.07 MBTU/HR. The ten-day duration is the minimum time necessary to offload the entire reactor core into the SFSP and to replace the gate between the SFSP and the Reactor Cavity. This duration is based upon past reactor refueling outages.

Per UFSAR section 9.1.3.2.3, a loss of the SFPC System may cause an increase in the temperature of the SFSP water inventory. This temperature increase may result in the heat-up and eventual boil-off of the SFSP water inventory. It would take -14.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> for the SFSP water inventory to heat-up from an initial temperature of 90°F and reach the boiling temperature. Similarly, it would take -10.3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> for the SFSP water inventory to heat-up from an initial temperature of 125°F and reach the boiling temperature. These durations assume a maximum augmented decay heat load of 20.0 MBTU/HR, the SFSP gate is installed, an initial SFSP water inventory level at RB El. 117-11 ", the top of the spent fuel storage rack at RB El 94' -9" and no compensatory operator actions.

Boil-off of the SFSP water inventory from RB El 117' -11" to RB El. 94' -9" is equivalent to a boil off rate of 41.2 GPM. Therefore, boil-off of the SFSP water inventory would have to continue for

-69.0 hours0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br /> in order to expose the top of the spent fuel storage racks. The total elapsed time to heat-up and boil-off the SFSP water inventory to the top of the spent fuel storage rack is -85.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> and -79.2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> when the SFSP water inventory is at an initial temperature of 90°F and 125°F, respectively.

Evaluation of the spent fuel pool area for steam and condensation has not yet been performed. The results of this evaluation and the vent path strategy, if needed, will be provided in a future 6-month update.

Overall Integrated Plan (64 pages)

Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan General Integrated Plan Elements BWR Site: Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (OCNGS)

Determine Applicable Input the hazards applicable to the site; seismic, external Extreme External Hazard flood, high winds, snow, ice, cold, high temps.

Describe how NEI 12-06 sections 5 - 9 were applied and Ref: NEI 12-06 section 4.0 -9.0 the basis for why the plant screened out for certain hazards.

JLD-ISG-2012-01 section 1.0 Seismic events, except soil liquefaction, external flooding; severe storms with high winds; snow, ice and extreme cold; and high temperatures were determined to be applicable Extreme External Hazards for Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (OCNGS) per the guidance of NEI 12-06 and are as follows:

Seismic Hazard Assessment Per the Updated Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) the basis for the seismic design criteria at the OCNGS is presented in Section 3.7. The historical seismicity of the site as described in the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey publication "Earthquake History of the United States, Part I" and the "Seismic Probability Map of the United States" (U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey) were examined by Professor George

w. Housner of the California Institute of Technology. The results of the study are as follows:
a. Small earthquakes have occurred in the general New Jersey area and others can be expected to occur there in the future.
b. The nearest large earthquakes were centered approximately 500 miles from the site. These were the Charleston, South Carolina shock of August 31, 1886, centered approximately 500 miles southwest of the site and the earthquake of February 28, 1925, near Quebec at 47.6°N, 70.1 ow centered approximately 500 miles north of the site.
c. The seismic probability map assigns New Jersey to Zone 1 with zones being classified as follows:

Page 1 of64

Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan Zone 0 - no damage Zone 1 - minor damage Zone 2 - moderate damage Zone 3 - major damage

d. The nearest known fault is approximately 40 miles from the site at Morrisville, Pennsylvania, and there is no evidence of faulting near the site. It is concluded that the probability of fault displacements occurring in the vicinity of the reactor structure is negligibly small.
e. The seismicity of the general region of the Oyster Creek Site is so low that it would be expected to have a low intensity of ground motion. The shocks in this region are too small to be listed in "Seismicity of the Earth" by Gutenberg and Richter, and the U.S. Coast and Geodetic survey publication does not give information on the magnitudes of the shocks.

The response spectra, discussed in Section 3.7, are based upon a ground acceleration of O.IIg or 3.54 feet per second.

The derivation of this ground acceleration is as follows: The spectrum intensity for California Zone 3 is assumed to be 10.2 = 2.7. Reference can be made to AEC publication TID-7024, Table 1.6.

The corresponding spectrum intensities for other zones may be taken to be:

10.2 Zone 0 0.33 Zone 1 0.67 Zone 2 1.35 Zone 3 2.70 The seismic probability map (Figure 1.10 of TID-7024) assigns New Jersey to Zone 1. Professor Housner recommended using an intensity 10.2 = 0.67 x 1.40 = 0.94 as the probable maximum intensity to be expected at the site during the life of the plant.

Table 1.6 in TID-7024 gives the maximum ground acceleration for the May 18, 1940, EI Centro earthquake as 0.33g with a spectrum intensity of 10.2 =2.7. This has been assumed to be equivalent to a California Zone 3 earthquake.

Reducing the acceleration by the factor 0.9412.70 gives a ground acceleration of O.llg. The OCNGS re~onse Page 2 of 64

Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan spectrum, corresponds to a spectrum intensity of 10.2 = 0.94 or an intensity of approximately one third that of Zone 3.

The application of this spectrum to design was set forth in G.W. Housner's "Design of Nuclear Power Reactors Against Earthquake." A detailed explanation is given in the AEC publication TID-7024. Refer to Section 3.7 for further detail.

In 1992, Weston Geophysical developed a new site specific design input response spectra generated from a suite of 67 horizontal earthquake time history records and the corresponding 34 vertical records. The peak ground accelerations associated with the Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE) are obtained from the 84% non-exceedance probability of the data and are equal to 0.184g. horizontal and 0.0952g. vertical. The operating basis earthquake accelerations are one-half the SSE accelerations and are, therefore, equal to 0.092g. horizontal and 0.0476g. vertical.

The SSE Site Specific Response Spectra (SSRS) are contained in Reference 2 and were approved by the US NRC in March, 1992, as shown in Reference 1.

Building and Structure Foundations Buildings and structures are founded generally in the third stratum (Cohansey sand) described in UFSAR Subsection 2.5.1.4. After excavation, backfilling and rolling, soil compression tests were made in the Reactor Building and Turbine Building areas, using loads up to 80,000 pounds on a four square foot plate. In the Reactor Building area a loading of 20,000 pounds per square foot gave a deflection of 0.003 inches in eight hours, and in the Turbine Building area the deflection from this loading was 0.009 to 0.14 inches in eight hours. These results were highly satisfactory from the standpoint of safety against overstressing the subsoil, for the 8000 pounds per square foot loadings used and even for the 13,000 pounds per square foot loadings used for the earthquake criteria. So far as settlements are concerned, the increased stresses during earthquakes would have no measurable effects upon the settlements in this type of highly compacted soils.

Observed settlements of the Reactor Building from the start of construction until May 1968 range between 2/3 inch and 3/4 inch.

All available information and test results confirm that the Page 3 of 64

Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan Cohansey sand has a dense to very dense relative density.

Results also indicate a marked increase in standard penetration resistance (N-values) at about elevation (-)30 feet. The direct determination of relative densities from undisturbed samples indicated that the relative density of the Cohansey sand is greater than 70 percent.

Liquefaction The potential for earthquake induced soil liquefaction and ground failures was evaluated for the Oyster Creek site by Geomatrix Consultants as documented in their report,

" Assessments of potential for Liquefaction and Permanent Ground Displacement at Designated Facilities, Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (December 1994)". The likelihood of soil liquefaction for varying water table conditions was evaluated and expressed in terms of probabilities of occurrence of a given ground acceleration.

Should soil liquefaction occur, foundation bearing strength failures are not expected, but ground settlements on the order of 0.5 to 1.0 inch could be expected.

The Reactor Building is founded on the Lower Cohansey formation, which consists of compacted sands with a geological age of more than 10 million years. Due to the compaction of these sands (equivalent strength of much higher than 30 blows Ifoot), significant liquefaction below the Reactor Building is unlikely to occur for any level of earthquake induced ground shaking. The assessment also notes that the "geological age of the Cohansey sands (10,000,000+ years old) would also indicate a low susceptibility to liquefaction, as such relatively old deposits have not been known to liquefy during historic earthquakes. "

For the Turbine Building, the assessment found that liquefaction of fill beneath portions of the building would require a peak ground acceleration in excess of 0.70g.

The Emergency Diesel Generator building is founded on fill that was placed to construct the slope between the building and the discharge canal. For this construction, soil liquefaction can be expected to occur at peak ground acceleration of 0.40g. Therefore, soil liquefaction below the Emergency Diesel Generator Building was separately considered. The effect of this phenomena is to increase the likelihood of failure of the diesel generator building itself, Page 4 of 64

Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan as noted in Table 3-2 (Reference 3), in addition to increasing the failure likelihood of the diesel generators themselves, as noted in Table 3-6 (Reference 3).

Incorporation of the failure is described in Section 3.1.5 (Reference 3), top event designator DU(DG Building Liquefaction).

Finally, the fire protection piping may be vulnerable to permanent ground movements where it crosses the discharge canal. Soil liquefaction can be expected to occur at a ground acceleration of OAOg; however, the discharge canal banks will serve to support the piping and significant displacement is not expected below 1.0g. Due to the extent of piping that is susceptible to this disruption, fire protection piping failure is conservatively assumed to occur following liquefaction at the 1.0g peak ground acceleration. The incorporation of this failure mode is described in Section 3.1.5 (Reference 3) under top event designator FX (Fire Protection System).

Thus, the Oyster Creek site screens in for an assessment for seismic hazard.

External Flood Hazard Assessment:

The current licensing basis includes two bounding floods:

the Probable Maximum Hurricane (PMH) and the Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP). Tsunami events are not typical of the eastern coast of the United States and are not addressed in the Current Licensing Basis (CLB). Dam failure was evaluated and no flooding which would affect safety related structures was postulated for the site as stated in the UFSAR, Section 204.

The PMH postulated for OCNGS is evaluated in UFSAR section 204, Appendix A. The hurricane considered is a Category 4 storm with wind speeds of 133 mph, a forward speed between 12 knots and 23 knots, occurring along with an astronomical high open-ocean tide of 2.7' MSL. This storm results in a storm surge still water level of 22' MSL, with waves at plant site of up to I' high. The main plant grade is at 23' MSL.

The PMP event postulated for OCNGS was evaluated most recently in the site Individual Plant Examination of External Events (IPEEE) Request for Additional Information (RAI) response (OCNGS Reply to RAI on IPEEE, 8117/2000).

Page 5 of 64

Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan The site was divided up into nine watersheds, two of which were postulated to have significant ponding. The turbine building and EDG building are not susceptible to this ponding. Onsite water levels were calculated to be 23.6' immediately adjacent to the Reactor Building and 23.5' over the remainder of the site. The PMP is not assumed to occur coincidental with the PMH.

The Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station is considered a dry site. This is due to the Reactor, Turbine and Emergency Diesel Generator buildings being at or above the two bounding floods. The loss of the Ultimate Heat Sink (UHS) occurs when the PMH level is reached. However, Oyster Creek is considered a "Hot Shutdown Plant" and it does not require the UHS to be available to achieve this state. The Isolation Condensers are the Station Blackout credited source of decay heat removal.

The station has two bounding floods with the potential to impact the protection and deployment of FLEX strategy equipment. Thus the Oyster Creek site screens in for an assessment for external flooding.

Snow, Ice and Extreme Cold Hazard Assessment:

The guidelines provided in NEI 12-06 (Section 8.2.1) generally include the need to consider extreme snowfall at plant sites in the northeastern U.S. above the 35 th parallel.

The OCNGS is located above the 35 th parallel (actual latitude and longitude N 39° 49' and W 74° 12') and thus the capability to address impedances caused by extreme snowfall with snow removal equipment need to be provided.

Icing effects have been considered during the Systematic Evaluation Program (SEP) assessment. During normal plant operation, icing has been limited to the canal area outside of the steel trash grates. The area in close proximity to the intake, where the suction of the pumps is taken, is kept from freezing by the thermal dilution gates, which recirculate discharge water through the intake bay, and by the turbulence induced by the circulating water pumps. The discharge canal remains free of ice during normal operation due to the plant-heated effluent.

It is unlikely that ice blockage would cause problems to any safety related systems as the emergency service water flow utilizes approximately only 3 percent of the design capacity of the 6 screens on the intake structure (UFSAR section Page 6 of64

Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan 2.4.7).

The FLEX equipment is housed in a building that is heated during the winter months. The FLEX pump engine and Ford F750 truck have block heaters that are maintained energized. The current building needs to be evaluated to determine if it meets the requirements of NEI 12-06 section 11.

The site is subject to heavy winter storms. Based on figure 8-1 in NEI 12-06 (Section 8.2.1), impedance caused by extreme snowfall with snow removal equipment has to be considered for FLEX equipment deployment. The FLEX truck (Ford F750) is equipped with a plow for debris and snow removal.

Thus, the Oyster Creek site screens in for an assessment for Extreme Cold Hazard Assessment.

High Wind Hazard Assessment:

Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station is located in Lacey Township, New Jersey, roughly 9 miles south of Toms River and 50 miles east of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The site is adjacent to Oyster Creek, about two miles inland from the shore of Barnegat Bay. Per NEI 12-06 guidance hurricanes and tornado hazards are applicable to Oyster Creek. Figure 7-2 from the NEI FLEX implementation Guide was used for this assessment.

Thus, Oyster Creek screens in for an assessment for High Wind Hazard.

Extreme High Temperature Hazard Assessment:

The highest recorded temperature documented in the UFSAR for Southern New Jersey was listed as 106 OF (Reference 4). Per the NEI 12-06 guidance, extreme high temperature hazard should be considered by all sites.

Thus, Oyster Creek screens in for an assessment for extreme High Temperature.

Time Constraints and Technical Basis (Action Items from Attachment tA)

Action Item # 3 10 min. Time critical Control room crew needs to determine that the EDGs failed to start and the ability to start the Combustion Turbines by the system operator has failed. Entry into ELAP/FLEX strategies will direct a cool down using the Isolation Condensers, lineup of shell makeup and RPV injection at times that support maintaining core cooling and limiting heat input into the containment. (References 6, 9 and 10)

Time period of 30 minutes past the declaration of an ELAP is selected to ensure that DC buses are available for >4 hours from battery sources. The Phase 2 battery recharging is assumed in item 11 to begin at 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br />; therefore, there is conservatism in the DC power source. The DC buses are readily available for operator access to load strip. Breakers will be appropriately identified (labeled) to show which are required to be opened to effect a deep load shed. From the time that ELAP conditions are declared, it is reasonable to expect that operators can complete the DC bus load shed in approximately 30 minutes. (References 3, 4 and 5)

Action Item # 8 1.5 hrs Aligning the FLEX pump and initiating makeup to the Isolation Condenser shell side in this time frame ensures the condenser tubes remain covered, and allows the Isolation Condenser to remain in service for RPY pressure control. Maintaining the Isolation Condensers available for pressure control and decay heat removal throughout the event will conserve RPY inventory and limit containment heat input from RPY system leakage, ensuring containment parameters remain within design limits for the 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> coping time (References 8, 9 and 10).

Action Item #10 3 hrs. Closing the Recirculation suction, discharge, and discharge bypass valves will significantly reduce the Reactor leakage from the Recirculation loops thereby extending the Reactor coping time and reducing heat input into primary containment.

Action Item # 12 3.8 hrs. Commence injecting into the reactor using the FLEX pump and restore level to the normal band.

(References 9 and 10)

Action Item # 14 12 hrs. Spent Fuel Pool (SFP) makeup is not a time constraint with the initial condition of 100% power, since the worst case fuel pool heat load conditions only exist during a refueling outage. Under non-outage conditions, the maximum SFP heat load is 5.04 MBTUlhr. Loss of Page 11 of64

(References 1 and 7)

The worst case SFP heat load during an outage is 20.3 MBTUlhr.

Notes:

Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) has not finalized the engineering designs for compliance with NRC Order EA-12-049. Detailed designs based on the current conceptual designs will be developed to determine the final plan and associated mitigating strategies. Analysis will be performed to validate that the plant modifications, selected equipment, and identified mitigating strategy can satisfy the safety function requirements of NEI 12-06. Once these designs and mitigating strategies have been fully developed, Exelon will update the integrated plan for Oyster Creek during a scheduled 6-month update. This update will include any changes to the initial designs as submitted in the February 28, 2013 Integrated Plan.

Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan Maintain Core Cooling Determine Baseline coping capability with installed coping} modifications not including FLEX modifications, utilizing methods described in Table 3-1 of NEI 12-06:

  • RCICIHPCIIIC
  • Depressurize RPV for injection with portable injection source
  • Sustained water source BWR Installed Equipment Phase 1:

Provide a generaL description of the coping strategies using installed equipment including modifications that are proposed to maintain core cooling. Identify methods (RCICIHPCIIIC)and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.

Reactor Level and pressure Control At the initiation of the BDBEE the Main Steam Isolation valves (MSIVs) will close, Condensate and Feedwater is lost and the Isolation Condensers (lCs) will initiate to control reactor pressure.

The ICs are designed to remove 410 X 106 Btu/hr and can provide emergency cooling for 1 hr.

40 min. without makeup (UFSAR section 6.3.1 .1.2). The Isolation Condensers condensate return valves are DC operated and controlled by 3-position switches (Open! Auto/ closed). The switches snap into the 3 positions; the only position that auto initiation or isolation function is active is in the auto position. Placing the switch in open or closed will bypass these functions.

Operators will limit the cool down to less than 10 OF per hour until it is determined that an ELAP condition exists. At this time, a SO°F per hour cool down will commence to support RPV injection at 3.8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> assuming that ICs FLEX makeup is available at 1.S hrs.

If the Isolation Condensers become unavailable then pressure control will shift to the Electromatic Relief Valves still maintaining a less than 10°F per hour cool down. This is maintained until an injection source becomes available or Top of Active Fuel (TAF) is reached at which time Emergency Depressurization is required. If no injection source is available, steam cooling will be entered per the EOPs. The EOPs direct the use of the Fire Diesels to provide makeup to the reactor and will be available for all events except seismic and PMH. Current battery coping times per UFSAR section 8.3.2.1.1 and section 8.3.2.1.2 are 8 hrs. for the "C" battery (power for "B" Isolation Condenser) and 3 hrs. for the "B" battery (power for the "A" Isolation Condenser). A DC load analysis is being performed to determine the battery coping time with no actions and with battery load shed. Oyster Creek currently does not have a battery load shed procedure. Using the results of the analysis, a load shed procedure will be developed to extend DC coping time.

Overall Response The MAAP, Reference 4, was utilized to evaluate overall response of installed systems per the system utilization described above. Isolation condensers are cycled to maintain reactor pressure between 900 to 1000 psig until the shell side water level drops to below the tube bundle at 1.8 hrs.

1 Coping modifications consist of modifications installed to increase initial coping time, i.e., generators to preserve vital instruments or increase operating time on battery powered equipment.

Page 16 of64

Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan Water level drops to TAF at 4.2 hrs. At this point the EOPs will direct the operators to initiate Steam Cooling with no makeup available.

Based on the above information, the coping time for the Oyster Creek station using installed equipment is 4.2 hrs.

Cold shutdown and refueling When in Cold Shutdown and Refueling, many variables exist which impact the ability to cool the core. In the event of an ELAP during these Modes, installed plant systems cannot be relied upon to cool the core; thus, transition to Phase 2 will begin immediately. All efforts will be made to expeditiously provide core cooling and minimize heat-up and repressurization. Exelon has a program in place, References 5 and 6, to determine the time to boil for all conditions during shutdown periods. This time will be used to determine the time required to complete transition to Phase 2.

To accommodate the activities of vessel disassembly and refueling, water levels in the reactor vessel and the reactor cavity are often changed. The most limiting condition is the case in which the reactor head is removed and water level in the vessel is at or below the reactor vessel flange. If an ELAP/LUHS occurs during this condition then (depending on the time after shutdown) boiling in the core may occur quite rapidly.

Deploying and implementing portable FLEX pumps to supply injection flow must commence immediately from the time of the event. This should be plausible because more personnel are on site during outages to provide the necessary resources. Strategies for makeup water include deploying a FLEX pump to take suction from the UHS (Intake or Discharge canal) as described in the Phase 2 Core Cooling section.

Guidance will be provided to ensure that sufficient area is available for deployment and that haul paths remain accessible without interference from outage equipment during refueling outages.

Provide a general description o/the coping strategies using on-site portable equipment including modifications that are proposed to maintain core cooling. Identify methods (RCICIHPc/IIC)and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.

During Phase 2, reactor makeup will be provided by the FLEX pump taking suction from the UHS (Intake or Discharge canal). The pump has the capacity to make up to the Reactor and the Isolation Condenser shells. The new seismic connections are in the conceptual design phase and will be located inside the Reactor Building NW airlock. This central location will provide connections for the Reactor, Isolation Condenser shell and Spent Fuel Pool makeup accessible from the NW and NE Reactor Building airlocks. The FLEX pump will take suction from the Intake or Discharge canal and hoses will be run to the new connections. Makeup to the Reactor will be via Core Spray system 1.

480VAC power will be restored using modified spare breaker frames with cables adapted to plug into a portable 3-phase 480V AC generator. This will allow repowering the 480V AC USS 1A2 and IB2 and restore the battery chargers for the station batteries and provide power to the MCCs to operate valves and other essential loads. After power is restored, the Recirculation Pump isolation valves on four (4) loops can be closed to reduce the recirculation pump seal leakage. The Isolation Condensers will be used to maintain Reactor pressure and remove decay heat for an indefinite period of time.

Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan Maintain Containment Determine Baseline coping capability with installed copingl modifications not including FLEX modifications, utilizing methods described in Table 3-1 of NEI 12-06:

  • Containment Venting or Alternate Heat Removal
  • Hydro~en I~niters (Mark III containments only)

BWR Installed Equipment Phase 1:

Provide a generaL description of the coping strategies using installed equipment incLuding modifications that are proposed to maintain core cooling. Identify methods (containment vent or alternative / Hydrogen Igniters) and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.

Coping strategies for primary containment in Phase 1 will be to remove decay heat via the Isolation Condensers (lCs) to minimize heat input to primary containment. The ICs remove decay heat with no loss of inventory from the reactor coolant system and no addition of heat to the suppression pool. As long as the shell side of the ICs is replenished (Phase 2) with sufficient water, they will remove adequate decay heat to maintain core cooling and limit the heat input to the containment.

During Phase 1, containment integrity is maintained by normal design features of the containment, such as the containment isolation valves. In accordance with NEI 12-06, the containment is assumed to be isolated following the event.

Reliable Hardened Vent System (RHVS) will be available for use to vent containment. The Hardened Vent Containment Isolation valves will be operated by an independent DC system to ensure reliability. Monitoring of containment (drywell) pressure and temperature will be available via normal plant instrumentation. Early venting of the containment (BWROG EOP Revision EPG/SAG Rev.3) will serve to limit containment pressure rise and Torus temperature rise.

BWROG EOP Revision EPG/SAG Rev.3, containing items such as guidance to allow early venting and to maintain steam driven injection equipment available during emergency depressurization, is approved and will be implemented in time to support the Oyster Creek compliance date.

Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan Maintain Spent Fuel Pool Cooling Determine Baseline coping capability with installed coping3 modifications not including FLEX modifications, utilizing methods described in Table 3*1 of NEI 12*06:

  • Makeup with Portable Injection Source BWR Installed Equipment Phase 1:

Provide a generaL description of the coping strategies using installed equipment including modifications that are proposed to maintain spent fueL pooL cooling. Identify methods (makeup with portabLe injection source)and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.

There are no Phase 1 actions required at this time that need to be addressed. Below is a description of the SFSP and the decay heat loading for the pool. Effects from loss of cooling are also included which indicate no operator action is required for 68.66 hours7.638889e-4 days <br />0.0183 hours <br />1.09127e-4 weeks <br />2.5113e-5 months <br /> (time to boil off to the top of fuel racks) after loss of cooling.

The spent fuel storage pool is 27 feet by 39 feet in plan with a total water depth of approximately 37 feet 9 inches, and an actual physical depth of 38'-9". The depth of water to the top of the stored fuel is approximately 25 feet, providing some 200,000 gallons of water above the fuel.

The pool is presently licensed to store 3035 fuel assemblies. Other equipment, such as control rods, spent nuclear instrumentation, and small vessel components, are temporarily stored in the spent fuel pool. Additional storage for large components, such as the steam dryer and the steam separator, is provided in a separate storage pool adjacent to the drywell heat cavity.

The fuel pool cooling system (UFSAR Subsection 9.1.3) cools, filters and demineralizes the fuel pool water. Failure of the fuel pool cooling system cannot cause the fuel to be uncovered. Normal demineralized water makeup to the pool is provided from the 525,000 gallon (nominal capacity)

Condensate Storage Tank at a rate of 250 gpm by a single condensate transfer pump. The makeup capability from this system is increased to approximately 420 gpm if both condensate transfer pumps are used. Makeup water is added directly to the pool's surge tanks by manual valve operation on elevation 119'. Additional makeup, at a rate of 150 gpm, can be provided from the (nominal) 175,000 gallon Demineralized Water Storage Tank by the demineralized water transfer pumps through the use of hoses. Other sources of water are also available through the lise of fire hoses or portable pumps. The makeup system for the spent fuel pool is not a Seismic Category I system. The 2000 gpm diesel driven fire pumps for the Fire Protection System can be used to provide makeup water from the Fire Pond to the Condensate Storage Tank through a permanent connection.

The pool is designed with substantial capability for withstanding the effects of a tornado. The design makes removal of more than five feet of water, due to tornado action, highly improbable.

Protection is provided against all tornado generated missiles, having a probability of hitting the 3 Coping modifications consist of modifications installed to increase initial coping time, i.e., generators to preserve vital instruments or increase opemting time on battery powered equipment.

Page 35 of64

Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Mitigation Strategies Integrated Plan fuel larger than once per 1.4 billion reactor lifetimes. Large equipment stored on the refueling floor, such as the reactor vessel head, shielding blocks, and other components, have a mass-to-surface area ratio such that they cannot become missiles under the postulated tornado conditions and, thus, could not be blown into the pool.

The maximum normal decay heat load for the SFPC System corresponds to the decay heat from a normal refuel offload (-188 spent fuel assemblies) with the SFSP full from successive normal refuel offloads. The maximum normal decay heat load, ten days after a reactor shutdown, has been calculated at 8.66 MBTU/HR.

The maximum augmented decay heat load for the SFPC System corresponds to the decay heat from a full core offload (560 spent fuel assemblies) with the SFSP full from successive normal fuel offloads. Approximately 95% of this decay heat load is generated from the full core offload and the last two normal fuel offloads. The maximum augmented decay heat load, ten days after a reactor shutdown, has been calculated at 20.07 MBTU/HR. The ten-day duration is the minimum time necessary to offload the entire reactor core into the SFSP and to replace the gate between the SFSP and the Reactor Cavity. This duration is based upon past reactor refueling outages.

Per UFSAR section 9.1.3.2.3, a loss of the SFPC System may cause an increase in the temperature of the SFSP water inventory. This temperature increase may result in the heat-up and eventual boil-off of the SFSP water inventory. It would take -14.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> for the SFSP water inventory to heat-up from an initial temperature of 90°F and reach the boiling temperature. Similarly, it would take -10.3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> for the SFSP water inventory to heat-up from an initial temperature of 125°F and reach the boiling temperature. These durations assume a maximum augmented decay heat load of 20.0 MBTU/HR, the SFSP gate is installed, an initial SFSP water inventory level at RB El. 117-11 ", the top of the spent fuel storage rack at RB El 94' -9" and no compensatory operator actions.

Boil-off of the SFSP water inventory from RB El 117' -11" to RB El. 94' -9" is equivalent to a boil off rate of 41.2 GPM. Therefore, boil-off of the SFSP water inventory would have to continue for

-69.0 hours0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br /> in order to expose the top of the spent fuel storage racks. The total elapsed time to heat-up and boil-off the SFSP water inventory to the top of the spent fuel storage rack is -85.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> and -79.2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> when the SFSP water inventory is at an initial temperature of 90°F and 125°F, respectively.

Provide a general description of the coping strategies using on-site portable equipment including modifications that are proposed to maintain spent fuel pool cooling. Identify methods (makeup with pO/table injection source) and strategy(ies) utilized to achieve this coping time.

The FLEX diesel driven portable pump will be positioned near the intake structure, and the discharge hose will be run to a pipe connection adjacent to the North West (NW) Reactor Building (RB) stairwell. This piping will be used to make-up to spent fuel pool (SFP) from the 23' (grade) elevation. On the fuel floor (119' elev.) a hose will be connected to the SFP makeup piping and ran into the SFP, utilizing restraints at the SFP handrail. At approximately T=12 hours (see SFP timeline in Phase 1), the FLEX pump will be started, the SFP make-up piping pressurized, and makeup flow established via the SFP makeup connection on the 75' elevation by opening the isolation valve located in the NW RB stairwell. The hose connected on the fuel floor will be available as an alternative flow path.

The 250 gpm spray flow will be provided by a FLEX pump taking suction from the intake structure and supplying water to the fuel pool makeup connection inside the NW airlock for the Reactor building. A fire hose will be connected to the connection located on the refuel floor, NW corner of the fuel pool, with an oscillating spray nozzle spraying over the pool.

Evaluation of the spent fuel pool area for steam and condensation has not yet been performed. The results of this evaluation and the vent path strategy, if needed, will be provided in a future 6-month update.
