- Interim Staff Evaluation Relating to Overall Integrated Plan in Response to Phase 1 of Order EA-13-109 (Severe Accident Capable Hardened Vents) (TAC No. MF4482), dated February 11,2015 On June 6, 2013, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC" or "Commission") issued an order (Reference 1) to Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC). Reference 1 was immediately effective and directs EGC to require their BWRs with Mark I and Mark II containments to take certain actions to ensure that these facilities have a hardened containment vent system (HCVS) to remove decay heat from the containment, and maintain control of containment pressure within acceptable limits following events that result in 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). Specific requirements are outlined in Attachment 2 of Reference 1.

Reference 1 requires submission of an Overall Integrated Plan (OIP) by June 30, 2014 for Phase 1 of the Order, and an OIP by December 31, 2015 for Phase 2 of the Order. The interim staff guidance (Reference 2) provides direction regarding the content of the OIP for Phase 1 and Phase 2. Reference 2 endorses industry guidance document NEI 13-02, Revision 1 (Reference 3) with clarifications and exceptions identified in Reference 2. Reference 4 provided the EGC initial response regarding reliable hardened containment vents capable of operation under severe accident conditions. Reference 5 provided the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2, Phase 10OIP. References 6 and 7 provided the first and second six-month status reports pursuant to Section IV, Condition 0.3 of Reference 1 for Nine Mile Point Station.

The purpose of this letter is to provide both the third six-month update for Phase 1 of the Order pursuant to Section IV, Condition D.3, of Reference 1, and the OIP for Phase 2 of the Order pursuant to Section IV, Condition D.2 of Reference 1, for Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2. The third six-month update for Phase 1 of the Order is incorporated into the HCVS Phase 1 and Phase 2 overall integrated plan document which provides a complete updated Phase I OIP, a list of the Phase 10OIP open items, and addresses the NRC Interim Staff Evaluation open items for Phase 1 contained in References 8 and 9.

Nine Mile Point Unit 1 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Introduction In 1989, the NRC issued Generic Letter 89-16, "Installation of a Hardened Wetwell Vent," (Reference 2) to all licensees of Boiling Water Reactors (BWRs) with Mark I containments to encourage licensees to voluntarily install a hardened wetwell vent. In response, licensees installed a hardened vent pipe from the suppression pool to some point outside the secondary containment envelope (usually outside the reactor building). Some licensees also installed a hardened vent branch line from the drywell.

On'March 19, 2013, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Commissioners directed the staff per Staff Requirements Memorandum (SRMv) for SECY-12-0157 (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 Under 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 startup 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 installation 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 (JLD-ISG-2013-02) issued in November 2013 (Reference 6) and JLD-ISG-2015-01 issued in April 2015 (Reference 31). These ISGs 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 (OTP) 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 64

Nine Mile Point Unit 1 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 HICVS actions being taken. The first update for Phase 1 was due December 2014, with the second due June 2015.

O IP 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 2 OIP submittal by means of a dombined Phase 1 and 20OP.

  • 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 2 OIP 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 Nine Mile Point'Unit 1 (NMP1) venting actions for the EA-13-109, Phase 1 severe accident capable ventingscenario 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) and/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. Specifically, valves located at the ROS are required to be manually opened before operation from the MCR can commence. Also, 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. Replenishment of the motive force will be by use of spare N2 bottles prior to the installed motive force being exhausted. Also, connections will be installed if it is desired to connect a portable air compressor.
  • Venting actions will be capable of being maintained for a sustained period of up to 7 days.

The Phase 2 actions can be summarized as follows:

  • 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 64

Nine Mile Point Unit 1 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.

~Extent to which the guidance, JLD-ISG-2013-02, JLDISG-2015-01, and NET 13-02, are being followed.

Identify any deviations.

Include a description of any alternatives to the guidance. A technicalijustifcationand basisfor 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 NMP1 with no known deviations to the guidelines in JLD-ISG-2013-02, JLD-ISG-2015-01, and NEI 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 1 Phase 1 (wetwell): by the startup from the second refueling outage that begins after June 30, 2014, or June 30, 2018, whichever comes first. Currently scheduled for 2Q2017.
  • Unit 1 Phase 2: (alternate strategy): by the startup from the first refueling outage that begins after June 30, 2017, or June 30, 2019, whichever comes first. Currently scheduled for 2Q20 19.

If deviations are identified at a later date, then the deviations will be communicated in a future 6-month update following identification.

Ref: NEI 13-02, Revision 1, Section 2 NEL 12-06, Revision 0 Mark I/II Generic HCVS Related Assumptions:

Page 5 of 64

Nine Mile Point Unit 1 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 1: General Integrated Plan Elements and 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 NEI 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 NEL 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 the Emergency Cooling System (ECS) (Reference NEI 12-06,

§3.2.1.3, item 9)(Reference 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. The HCVS system will include a dedicated 125 VDC battery panel sized for 24-hours of HCVS operation.

Beyond 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> FLEX power will be provided via the #12 station battery board. (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) (HC VS-FAQ- 11.)

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. Additional N2 bottles will be available and meet the criteria applicable to HCVS to provide motive force beyond 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. Also, 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 can be connected 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 if 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.1.3 (Reference 9). This assumption does not apply to Phase 2 SAWAISAWM 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. SEP Level is maintained with either on-site or off-site resources such that the SEP 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 criteria (e.g., Appendix J) and are not subject to the testing criteria from NEI 13-02 (Reference HCVS-FAQ-O5 [16] and NEI 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 Page 6 of 64

Nine Mile Point Unit 1 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 1: General Integrated Plan Elements and Assumptions 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-01l[12]). This assumption does not apply to Phase 2 SAWAISAWM 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- 11.

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 drywell 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, thle 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 respiratory protection are available if required to address contamination issues (Reference HCVS-FAQ-01 [12] and HCVS-FAQ-09).

109-13. The suppression pool/wetwell of a BWR Mark 1/II containment is considered to be bounded by assuming a saturated environment for the duration of the event response because of the water/steam interactions.

109-14. RPV depressurization is directed 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-0 I) This is further addressed in HCVS-Page 7 of 64

Nine Mile Point Unit 1 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 1: General Integrated Plan Elements and Assumptions FAQ-10.

Plant Specific IJCVS Related Assumptions/Characteristics:

NMP 1-1 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 the OIP.

NMP1-2 Modifications that allow a FLEX generator to be connected to a 600 volt safety related bus 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.

NMPl-3 The rupture disk will be manually breached from the MCR and/or ROS if required for anticipatory venting during an ELAP.

NMP1-4 The Plant layout of buildings and structures are depicted in Sketch 2C. Note the Main Control Room is located in the turbine building and has substantial structural walls and features independent of the Reactor Building. The HCVS vent routing is all internal to the Reactor Building up to where it penetrates the Reactor Building roof and exhausts to the atmosphere (see Sketch 2A).

NMP1-5 The HCVS internal piping above the metal sided non-missile protected refueling floor and the HCVS external piping is all above 30-feet from ground level, consists solely of large bore (10-inch nominal diameter) piping and its piping supports, and the piping has less than 300 square feet of cross section.

The HCVS external piping meets the reasonable protection requirements of HCVS-WP-04 (Reference 32).

Nine Mile Point Unit 1 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 justificationprovided that the time 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 evaluatedper guidance.

Describe in detail in this section the technical basisfor the constraints identified on the sequence of events timeline attachment.

See attached sequence of events timeline (Attachment 2A).

Ref: EA-13-109, Section 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3 I NET 13-02, Section 4.2.5, 4.2.6. 6.1.1 NMP1 plans to install a WW flow path that has two dedicated primary containment isolation valves and a downstream rupture disc that is routed totally separate from the other unit and with no interconnected systems.

The discharge is routed separately through a pipe that discharges above the unit's Reactor Building roof and is totally separate from NMP2. Each NMP unit will have dedicated motive power (Pressurized N2) for ,HCVS valves, Argon Purge system, and DC power for HCVS components that is not shared with any other function and that does not rely on FLEX for the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, with the clarification that existing containment instrumentation (pressure and WW level) are not considered HCVS components and power for existing containment instrumentation is through the FLEX Diesel Generator (DG) provided through the actions for EA-12-049. Also, the FLEX DG may be credited for recharging the HCVS battery after 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

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.

Replenish Argon bottles. Replacement Argon bottles will be at ROS or another Argon replenishment only required if severe hardened location such as the acdn odtosaepeet FLEX building. A branch connection will be installed to allow foJr connecting a portable air compressor for HCVS valve motive force. A, 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.
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. For NMP1, which does not have RCIC, it is assumed that the Emergency Cooling System (ECS) fails to operate at 18 hours2.083333e-4 days <br />0.005 hours <br />2.97619e-5 weeks <br />6.849e-6 months <br /> due to a lack of makeup water for cooling. This time could be as soon as 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />,,should FLEX fail to provide makeup water for the ECS condensers.
3. Sequence 3 is based on NUREG-1935 (SOARCA) results for a prolonged SBO (or ELAP) with Page 10 of 64

Nine Mile Point Unit 1 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent loss of RCIC case without black start. For NMPl, it is assumed that the ECs fail to operate.

The following is a discussion of time constraints identified in Attachment 2A for the 3 timeline sequences identified above:

Approximately 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />, initiate use of the HCVS per site procedures to maintain containment pressure below the lower of the primary containment pressure limit (PCPL) or containment design pressure.

Initiation of the HCVS can be completed with the actions outlined in Table 2-1. The reliable operation of HCVS will be met because HCVS meets the seismic requirements identified in NEI 13-02 and will be powered by dedicated HCVS batteries with motive force supplied to HCVS valves from installed nitrogen storage bottles. HCVS controls and HCVS instrumentation will be provided from a panel installed in the MCR. Other containment parameter instrumentation associated with operation of the HCVS is available in the MCR. Operation of the system will be available from the MCR and/or a ROS.

Dedicated HCVS batteries will provide power for a minimum of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. Therefore, initiation of the HCVS from the MCR and/or the ROS within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> is acceptable because of the simplicity and limited number of operator actions. Placing the HCVS in operation to maintain containment parameters within design limits for either BDBEE or SA venting would occur at a time further removed from ELAP declaration as shown in Attachment 2.

  • 24 hours, replace/install additional nitrogen bottles or install portable air compressor. The nitrogen station will have an extra connection to allow for connection of a portable air compressor in lieu of replacing N2 bottles. This can be performed at 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.
  • 24 hours, connect back-up power to HCVS battery charger. The HCVS batteries are calculated to last a minimum of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> (ISE Open Item #7). The HCVS battery charger will be able to be re-powered from the 600 VAC bus that will be re-powered from a portable diesel generator (DG) put in place for FLEX.

The DG will be staged 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 /> (Reference 1) and therefore will be available prior to being required. In the event that the DG is not available, a local connection will allow a small portable generator staged outside of the turbine building to be connected to the battery charger to provide power.

  • 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 Argon purging is required only if the ELAP progresses to severe accident conditions.

[ISE OPEN ITEM-7: Perform final sizing evaluation for HCVS batteries/batter~y charger and incorporate into FLEX DG loading calculation.]

Discussion of radiological, temperature, other environmental constraints identified in Attachment 2A

  • Actions to initiate HCVS operation are taken from the MCR and/or from the ROS in the Turbine Building. Both locations have significant shielding and/or physical separation from radiological sources.

Non-radiological habitability for the MCR is being addressed as part of the NMP1 FLEX response. The ROS location in the Turbine Building has no heat sources as the area is opened to the turbine building surrounding areas (i.e., ROS is not enclosed in a separate room).

  • Actions to replenish the pneumatic supply will be completed from the Turbine Building. The HCVS pneumatic supply, HCVS batteries and ROS are located on grade elevation 261' in the Turbine Building.

The HCVS piping will exit the Reactor Building on the east side of the Reactor Building approximately 140' from ground elevation. Therefore, the location for pneumatic supply replenishment is shielded from page- 1-1 of 64

Nine Mile Point Unit 1 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent the HCVS piping by the Reactor and Turbine Buildings.

  • Actions to install the FLEX Portable DG will occur on the south side of the NMP1 Turbine Building and within the south end of the Turbine Building itself. The locations for installation (and control) of the DG are therefore shielded from HCVS piping by the Reactor Building and the Turbine Building. In the event that this DG cannot be operated, the backup portable generator would be connected to the battery charger in the Turbine Building, similar to replacement of the pneumatic supply.

Component reliable and rugged performance (EA-13-109. Section 2.2 I NEI 13-02, Section 5.2. 5.3)

HCVS components including instrumentation should be designed, as a minimum, to meet the seismic design requirements of the plant.

Components including instrumentation that are not requiredto be seismicalhly designed by the design basis of the plant should be designedfor reliable and rugged performance that is capable of ensuring HCVS functionalityfollowing a seismic event. (Reference JLD-ISG-2012-O1 and JLD-ISG-2012-O3for seismic details.)

The components including instrumentation external to a seismic category 1 (or equivalent building or enclosure should be designed to meet the external hazards that screen in for the plant as defined in guidance NEI 12-06 as endorsed by JLD-ISG-12-O1 for Order EA-12-049.

Demonstration that the instrumentationis substantially similar in design to instrumentationthat 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 performedfor the plant licensing basis.

Nine Mile Point Unit 1 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent Vent Size and Basis The HCVS wetwell path is designed for venting steam/energy at a minimum capacity of 1% of 1850 MW thermal power at pressure of 35 psig (ISE Open Item #2). This pressure is the lower of the drywell design pressure (62 psig), the PCPL (43.4 psig) and the torus design pressure (35 psig). The size of the wetwell vent piping for the majority of HCVS piping is 10 inches in diameter with two short 8-inch diameter sections through existing floor penetrations which provides adequate capacity to meet or exceed the Order criteria.

[ISE OPEN LTEM-2: Perform final vent capacity calculation for the Torus HCVS piping confirming 1%

minimum capacity.]

Vent Capacity The 1% value at NMP1 assumes that the Torus has sufficient capacity to absorb the decay heat generated for a minimum of 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> without allowing containment pressure to exceed 43 psig (PCPL) after which point decay heat is less than or equal to 1%. The vent would then be able to prevent containment pressure from increasing above the PCPL. The duration of Torus dec-ay heat absorption capability has been confirmed (Reference 30).

The sizing for 1% assumes nominal suppression pool water level.

Vent Path and Discharge The HCVS vent path at NMP1 utilizes the existing penetration piping for the Containment Vent and Purge System from the Torus up to the first Primary Containment Isolation Valve, VLV-201-16. The torus (wetwell) vent piping tees off from the existing penetration piping described above. The dedicated HCVS piping then continues up through the Reactor Building and exits the Reactor Building roof on the east side to a discharge point approximately 3' above the highest point of the Reactor Building roof or any nearby structure.

The HCVS vent path will include two PCIVs dedicated to the HCVS function with a downstream rupture disc.

After the HCVS flow path is opened, the downstream PCIV will be used to control HCVS flow by closing and reopening. The rupture disc will serve as the secondary containment pressure boundary to prevent PCIV leakage from being released to the outside during a design basis loss of coolant accident (DB LOCA). The Argon purge system can be used to breach the rupture disc if HCVS venting is required prior to the containment pressure exceeding the rupture disc setpoint. The NMP1 vent path is completely separate from the Nine Mile Point Unit 2 (NMP2) vent path.

The current design for the external piping meets the reasonable tornado missile protection criteria of HCVS-WP-04. The HCVS internal piping above the metal sided non-missile protected refueling floor and the external piping consists solely of large bore piping and its supports, is above 30 feet from ground level, and these internal and external pipe sections have less than 300 square feet of cross section.

Power and Pneumatic Supply Sources All electrical power required for operation of HCVS components will be provided by dedicated HCVS batteries with a minimum capacity capable of providing power for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> without recharging. A preliminary sizing evaluation has been completed. A final confirmatory evaluation will be completed as part of the detailed design process when selection of electrical components is finalized (Ref ISE Open Item #7). A battery charger is provided that requires a 240 VAC supply. This will be provided by a dedicated 600 VAC to 120/240 VAC transformer, which will be powered from a 600 VAC bus that will be re-powered by a diesel generator as part of the FLEX response. In addition, a connection point that utilizes standard electrical connections will be provided for a portable generator for sustained operation of the HCVS.

Nine Mile Point Unit 1 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent For the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> following the event, the motive supply for the AOVs will be dedicated nitrogen gas bottles that will be permanently installed and available. These bottles will be sized such that they can provide motive force for at least 8 cycles of vent path operation (2 Primary Containment Isolation Valves (PC1Vs)).

Eight cycles is defined as the initial opening of the two PCIVs followed by closing and reopening the downstream PCIV. A preliminary sizing evaluation has been completed. A final evaluation will be completed as part of the detailed design process when selection of the system AOVs is finalized (ISE Open Item #8).

[ISE OPEN ITEM-8: Perform final sizing evaluation for pneumatic Nitrogen (N2) supply.]

Supplemental motive force (e.g., additional nitrogen gas bottles and/or air compressor), portable generators, and enough fuel for an additional 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> of operation will be stored on site in an area that is reasonably protected from assumed hazards consistent with the requirements of NEI 12-06. Pre-engineered quick disconnects will be provided to connect a portable air compressor as supplemental motive force supply.

1. The HCVS flow path valves are air-operated valves (AOV) that are air-to-open and spring-to-shut.

Opening the valves requires energizing a DC powered solenoid operated valve (SOV) and providing motive air/gas. A backup means of operation is also available that does not require energizing or repositioning the SOy.

2. An assessment of temperature and radiological conditions will be performed to ensure operating personnel can safely access and operate controls at the ROS based on time constraints listed in Attachment 2. (ISE Open Item #6)

[ISE OPEN ITEM-6: Perform confirmatory environmental condition evaluation for the Turbine Building in the vicinity of the ROS and HCVS dedicated pneumatic supply and batteries.]

3. All permanently installed HCVS equipment, including any connections required to supplement the HCVS operation during an ELAP (electric power, N2/air) will be located in areas reasonably protected from the hazards listed in Part 1 of this report.
4. All 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, reachrod, or similar means requiring close proximity to the valve (HCVS-FAQ-03, Reference 14). 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 in Part 1 of this OIP.
5. Access to the locations described above will not require temPorary ladders or scaffolding.

Location of Control Panels The HCVS design allows for initiation, operation, and monitoring of the HCVS from either the MCR and/or the ROS. The MCR location is protected from adverse natural phenomena and is the normal control point for HCVS operation and Plant Emergency Response actions.

The ROS will be located in the Turbine Building. This location is protected from adverse natural phenomena, is readily accessible, well ventilated and is shielded from the HCVS piping by the Reactor Building. The NMPI1 Turbine Building was designed to seismic loads in accordance with the building code and is considered Page 15 of 64

Nine Mile Point Unit 1 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetweil Vent seismically robust. The ROS area includes the location of the HCVS support equipment - nitrogen pneumatic supply, argon purge supply, and dedicated battery.

Hydrogen 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 system will be sized for 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 PCJV motive air supply. The number of purge cycles may be reduced based on plant-specific analysis. 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 The HCVS for NMP 1 is fully independent of NMP2 with separate discharge points. Therefore, the capacity at each unit is independent of the status of the other unit's HCVS.

Refer to the P&TD (Sketch 2A). The NMP1 HCVS flowpath is dedicated to the HCVS function. Although the HCVS flow path primary containment penetration is shared with the Containment Vent and Purge System, the HCVS and the Containment Vent and Purge System flow paths have separate PCIVs. The Containment Vent and Purge System PCJVs are normally closed, except during infrequent vent and purge operations, and fail closed upon loss of electrical power, instrument air and upon a containment isolation signal. The PCIVS are leak tight and tested in accordance with the 10CFR50 Appendix J program. They are safety related and fully qualified in accordance with the Environmental Qualification (EQ) Program for NMP1. Since the HCVS flow path does not share any PCJVS with another flowpath and has no connections downstream of the PCTVs, the HCVS flowpath is considered a dedicated flow path with no interconnected systems.

Prevention of Inadvertent Actuation EOP/EPG 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. These design features include two normally closed/fail closed, in-series PCIVs that are air-to-open and spring-to-shut.

A DC SOV must be energized to allow the motive air to open the valve. Although the same DC and motive air source will be used for each valve, separate control circuits including key-locked switches will be used for the two redundant valves to address single point vulnerabilities that may cause the flow path to inadvertently open.

Power to the DC SOVs will be maintained de-energized and the key-lock switch will be required to be actuated to power the solenoids. Manual valves on the pneumatic supply from the nitrogen tanks will be locked in their normal position to maintain the valve closed. In addition, the NMP1 design has a rupture disc.

Note that NMP1 does not credit containment accident pressure (CAP) for its DB LOCA. Regardless, preventing inadvertent operation is addressed.

Nine Mile Point Unit. 1 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent Component Qualifications HCVS components that directly interface with the primary containment pressure boundary and the HCVS rupture disc will be classified as safety-related in accordance with the design basis for NMP1. Likewise, any electrical or controls component which interfaces with Class lE power sources will be classified as safety related up to applicable isolation devices (e.g., fuses, breakers), as their failure could adversely impact containment isolation and/or a safety-related power source. All safety-related components will be seismically and environmentally qualified in accordance with the design basis of the plant. Additional functionality evaluations for severe accident/boundary conditions specified in NEI 13-02 will be performed. All remaining HCVS components will be classified as augmented quality.

The HCVS components downstream of the PCIVs, are located in seismically designed and constructed structures, including the ROS, pneumatic supply station, HCVS batteries, and HCVS battery charger.

Qualification includes consideration of environmental conditions specified in NEI 13-02. HCVS components will be evaluated to ensure functionality following a design basis earthquake. Components that interface with the HCVS will be routed in seismically qualified structures or the structure will be analyzed for seismic ruggedness to ensure that any potential failure would not adversely impact the function of the HCVS or other safety related structures or components.

Instrumentation and controls components will also be evaluated for environmental conditions postulated for a severe accident, although these evaluations 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 a transition from no core damage to core damage. The HCVS components and components that interface with the HCVS are routed in seismically qualified structures.

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.

[ISE OPEN ITEM-11: Complete evaluation for environmental/seismic qualification of HCVS components.I Monitoring of HCVS The NMP1 wetwell HCVS will be capable of being remote-manually operated during sustained operations from a control panel located in the main control room (MCR) after manual operation of a 3-way valve and N2 and Argon isolation valves at the ROS is complete 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 intent for a secondary control location of section 1.2.5 of the Order, a readily 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 location, habitability, staffing sufficiency, and communication capability with Vent-use decision makers.

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 effluent temperature, valve position, and effluent radiation levels at the MCR. Other important information on the status of supporting systems (i.e., DC power source status, Argon 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 wetwell 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 the FLEX DG supplies the station battery charger for these instruments and will be installed prior to depletion of the station batteries.

Component reliable and rugged performance The HCVS vent path components that directly interface with the containment pressure boundary and the HCVS rupture disc and downstream piping will be classified as safety-related in accordance with the design basis for the plant. In addition, any electrical or controls component which interfaces with Class 1E power sources will Page 18of 64

Nine Mile Point Unit 1 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent be classified as safety related, as their failure could adversely impact containment isolation and/or a safety related power source. All safety-related components will be seismically qualified in accordance with the NMP1 design basis. All other HCVS components, including piping and supports, electrical power supply, valve actuator pneumatic supply, and instrumentation (local and remote) will be designed for reliable and rugged operational performance that is capable of ensuring HCVS functionality following a design basis earthquake as required per Section 2.2 of EA- 13-109.

For the HCVS instruments that are required after a potential seismic event, the following methods will be used to verify that the design and installation is reliable / rugged and therefore 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 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 lE 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)
  • seismic qualification using seismic motion consistent with that of existing design basis loading at the installation location.

HCVS components are located in the Reactor Building and Turbine Building. The Reactor Building and Control Building are safety-related, seismic class I structures. The Turbine Building is seismically designed in accordance with the plant design basis and will be evaluated for the external hazards that screen in for the plant as defined in guidance NEI 12-06 as endorsed by JLD-ISG-12-01 for Order EA-12-049.

The instrumentation/power supplies/cables/connections (components) will be qualified for temperature, pressure, radiation level, and total integrated radiation dose up to 7 days for the Effluent Vent Pipe and HCVS ROS location. The qualification for the equipment by the supplier will be validated by NMP for the specific location at NMP1 to ensure that the bounding conditions envelope the specific plant conditions.

Conduit design will be in accordance with Seismic Class 1 criteria.

The HCVS components mounted external to seismic 1, concrete structures meet the reasonable protection criteria of HCVS-WP-04. Specifically, large bore piping and its supports, located above 30 feet from grade level and not protected from missiles have less than 300 square feet of piping cross section.

Augmented quality requirements will be applied to the components installed in response to this Order unless higher quality requirements apply.

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.

The HCVS will be designed to allow initiation, control, and monitoring of venting from the MCR and/or will be able to be operated from an installed ROS as part of the response to this Order. Both locations minimize plant operators' exposure to adverse temperature and radiological conditions and are 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. Active: The PCIVs are operated in accordance with EOPs/SOPs to control containment pressure.

The HCVS will be designed for 8 vent cycles under ELAP conditions over the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> following an ELAP. Controlled venting will be permitted in the revised EPGs and associated implementing EOPs.

ii. Passive: Inadvertent actuation protection is provided by use of key-locked switches for both the HCVS power supply actuation and valve operation. The normal state of the system is de-energized and isolated. In addition, a rupture disc is located downstream of the PCTVs to prevent secondary containment bypass leakage.

Nine Mile Point Unit 1 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for WW Vent - BDBEE Venting The pneumatic supply station will be installed in the Turbine Building ROS area and will include a nitrogen bottle station and a connection for a portable air compressor. The connection will utilize pre-engineered quick disconnect fitting. The location of the pneumatic supply station will be evaluated for reasonable protection per Part 1 of this OIP and modified as required for compliance. Actions to replenish the pneumatic supplies include replacement of nitrogen bottles or installation and refueling of a portable air compressor. Sufficient nitrogen bottles will be staged to support operations for an additional 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> beyond the initial 24-hour coping period following the ELAP event.

The Argon supply station will be installed in the Turbine Building ROS area and will include an Argon bottle station with additional connections for extra Argon bottles. Connections will utilize pre-engineered quick disconnect fittings. The location of the Argon supply station will be evaluated for reasonable protection per Part 1 of this GIP and modified as required for compliance. Actions to replenish the Argon supplies include replacement of Argon bottles. Sufficient Argon bottles will be staged to support operations for an additional 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> beyond the initial 24-hour coping period following the ELAP event.

The HCVS batteries and battery charger will also be installed in the Turbine Building ROS area. This will include battery capacity sufficient for 24-hour operation. The normal power supply to the HCVS controls and instruments will be provided by the #12 Station Battery Bus, which in turn is re-powered by a 600 VAC diesel generator connected to the #12 Station Battery Charger as part of the FLEX response. A design change to install portable generator connections to this bus has been completed in support of EA-12-049 (Reference 1). In the event that power is not restored to the bus, a local 240 VAC connection to the UPS will allow the UPS to receive power from a small portable generator. Actions to replenish the electrical supply include refueling the DG or connecting and refueling a small portable generator.

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 to provide needed action and supplies.

Ref: EA-13-109, Section 1.2.6 I NET 13-02, Section 2.5, 4.2.2 The operation of the HCVS will be designed to minimize the reliance on operator actions for response to an ELAP and severe accident events. Progression of the ELAP into a severe accident assumes that the FLEX strategies identified in the response to Order EA-12-049 have not been effective. Access to the Reactor Building will be restricted as determined by the RPV water level and core damage conditions. Immediate operator actions will be completed by operators from both the MCR and the ROS using manual actions. The operator actions required to open a vent path are as described in Table 2-1. Remote-manual is defined in this plan 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 primary procedural protocol.

The HCVS will be designed to allow initiation, control, and monitoring of venting from the MCR and will be able to be operated from an installed ROS as part of the response to this Order. Both locations minimize plant operators' exposure to adverse temperature and radiological conditions and are protected from hazards assumed in Part 1 of this. report.

Ref: EA-13-109, Section 3.1 / NET 13-02, Section 6.1.2, D.1.3.1 Venting actions using portable equipment include the following:

  • Replacement and replenishment of pneumatic supply sources. This includes the option of replacing nitrogen bottles or connecting a portable air compressor.

Installation of the HCVS includes installation of a pneumatic supply header that includes pneumatic regulators and utilizes standard pneumatic connections.

  • Replacement and replenishment of Argon purge gas supply sources. This includes replacing the Argon bottles. Equipment sufficient for an additional 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> of vent operation beyond the 24-hour installed supply would be pre-staged in the FLEX storage building.

o Establishing temporary power to repower the battery charger. Option 1 is to connect the FLEX DG to Station Battery Charger # 12, which provides power to Station Battery Bus # 12 that in turn powers the HCVS equipment and battery charger. Option 1 would be completed as part of the FLEX response strategy and occurs to the south and inside the NMP1 Turbine Building. Option 2, to be taken if the FLEX DG cannot be connected to the Station Battery Charger #12, is to connect a small portable generator to the HCVS battery charger. Option 2 would be taken locally at the battery charger. Either of these actions will also require the generators to be refueled. A one line diagram of the electrical system to be installed is included in sketch 1A.

General Licensees that use Option B.]1 of EA-13-109 (SA Capable DW Vent without SA WA) must develop their own QIP.

This template does not provide guidancefor that option.

Licensees using Option B.2 of FA 1 09 (SA WA and SA WM or 5415°F SADW Vent (SADV) with SA WA) may use this template for their QIP submittal. Both SA WM and SADV require the use of SA WA and may not be done independently. The HCVS actions under Part 2 apply to all of the following:

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 constraintto be successful should be identified with a technical basis and a justi~ficationprovided 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 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />sfrom the onset of the loss of all injection sources.

  • Electrical generatorssatisfying the requirements of EA-12-049 may be creditedfor powering components and instrumentationneeded to establish aflow path.
  • Time Sensitive Actions (TSAs) for the purpose of SA WA are those actions needed to transport, connect and startportable 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 drywell1. Actions needed to establishpower to SA WA instrumentationshould 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 SAWM/SADV 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 with minor manual operation from the ROS first. In addition, HCVS valve operation, as required by EA-13-109 Requirement 1.2.5, may occur at the ROS.

Timelines (see attachments 2.1 .A for SAWA/SAWM) 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 (SAWMV). 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.

Nine Mile Point Unit 1 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 3: Boundary Conditions for EA-13-109, Option 2 (Phase 2) use of a lower site unique initial SAWA flow rate. Consequently, NMP1 will assume an initial flow rate of 263 gpm. This is based on the Industry generic value of 500 gpm multiplied by (NMP1 rated thermal power [1850 MWt]/reference plant thermal power [3514 MWt]). 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 ERO dose and plant safety guidelines for temperature and humidity.

The flow path will be from the FLEX (SAWA) pump suction at the screen house, through the FLEX (SAWA) pump hoses to the riser at the 261' elevation of the Turbine Building (grade elevation), by hardpipe through the Feedwater System to the RPV. This flow path does not require energizing any power operated valves. Backflow from the reactor/containment through the SAWA firewater to Feedwater piping is prevented by the Feedwater system isolation check valves (CKV-31-01R and CKV-31-02R).

DW pressure and Suppression Pool level will be monitored and flow rate will be adjusted by throttling the manual valves located on the FLEX (SAWA) pump manifold or throttled at valve BV-29-412 in the Turbine Building if final dose assessments determine throttling at the pump is not acceptable. Communication will be established between the MCR and the SAWA flow control location.

The FLEX (SAWA) pump suction source is a significant distance from the discharge of the HCVS pipe with substantial structural shielding between the HCVS pipe and the pump deployment location. FLEX (SAWA) pump and diesel driven generator refueling will also be accomplished using portable transfer pumps, towable fuel containers, and fuel from the NMP2 Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) fuel oil storage tanks. NMP1 EDG storage tanks would be also available except in a flood condition. 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 / temperature) indicate that personnel can complete the initial and support activities without exceeding the ERG-allowable dose for equipment operation or site safety standards (reference HCVS-WP-02, Plant Specific Dose Analysis for the Venting of Containment during SA Conditions). 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. The indications noted with an

Nine Mile Point Unit 1 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 3: Boundary Conditions for EA-13-109, Option 2 (Phase 2)

Basis for SAWM time frame SAWM can be maintained >7 days:

NMP1 has not performed a site specific evaluation to justify the use of a lower site unique initial SAWA flow rate.

Consequently, NMP1 will assume an initial flow rate of 263 gpm.

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.

Instrumentation relied upon for SAWM operations is Drywell Pressure and Suppression Pool level and SAWA flow. Except for SAWA flow, SAWM instruments are initially powered by station batteries and then by the FLEX (EA-12-049) generator which is placed in-service prior to core breach. The DG will provide power throughout the Sustained Operation period (7 days). The SAWA flow instrument will be a local indication on the FLEX (SAWA) pump that is self-powered from an internal power supply capable of being replenished, if needed, through the Sustained Operation period. If SAWA flow must be controlled from within the Turbine Building by feedwater valve BV-29-412 then an alternate flow instrument location will also be required.

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 (C.7.l.4.2, C.8.3.l).

Suppression Pool level indication is maintained throughout the Sustained Operation period, so the HCVS remains in-service. The current NMP1 Suppression Pool level indication spans to the HCVS wetwell penetration. The time to reach the level at which the WW vent must be secured is >7 days using SAWIM flowrates (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) (C.7. 1.4.3). .1.A shows the timeline of events for SAWA!/ SAWM (C.7.1.4.4).

  • 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 accessiblefor periodic maintenance and testing.

Ref: EA-13-109, Section 1.2.13 / NEI 13-02, Section 5.4, 6.2 NMP1 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/SA'WIV 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.

NMP1 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 every2 operating cycle and the interfacing system valves not used to maintain containment integrity during Mode 1, 2 and 3. For HCVS valves, this test may be performed concurrently with the control logic test described below.

Cycle the HCVS and installed SAWA check Once per every other4 operating cycle valves not used to maintain containment Page 40 of 64

Nine Mile Point Unit 1 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 4: Programmatic Controls~, Training, Drills and Maintenance integrity during unit operations 3 .

Perform visual inspections and a walk down of Once per every other 4 operating cycle HCVS and installed SAWA components.

Functionally test the HCVS radiation monitors. Once per operating cycle Leak test the HCVS. (1) Prior to first declaring the system functional; (2) Once every three operating cycles thereafter; and (3) After restoration of any breach of system boundary within the buildings Validate the HCVS operating procedures by Once per every other operating cycle conducting an open/close test of the HCVS control function from its control location and ensuring that all HCVS vent path and interfacing system valves 5 move to their proper (intended) positions.

2'Not required for HCVS and SAWA check valves.

After two consecutive successful performances, the test frequency may be reduced to a maximum of once per every other operating cycle.

3 o required if integrity of check function (open and closed) is demonstrated by other plant testing requirements.

4After two 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 andlor 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 PCIVs are tested per by the NMP1 design basis requirements to ensure valve operability and leakage tightness. Refer to generic assumption 109-4.

Nine Mile Point Unit 1 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Attachment 2.1 .D: SAWM SAMG Approved Language The following general cautions, prioritiesand methods will be evaluatedfor plant specific applicabilityand incorporatedas appropriateinto the plant specific SAMGs using administrativeproceduresfor EPG/SAG change control process and implementation. SAMGs are symptom based guidelines and therefore address a wide variety of possible plant conditions and capabilitieswhile these changes are intended to accommodate those specific conditions assumed in Order EA 109. The changes will be made in a way that maintains the use of SAMGs in a symptom 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:

  • Addressing 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 pooi 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:

  • Water addition is managed to preserve the Mark I/Il suppression chamber vent paths, thereby retaining the benefits of suppression pool scrubbing and

Methods:

Identify systems and capabilities to add water to the RPV or drywell, with the following 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.

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 drywell.

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 Under 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 startup 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 installation 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 (IS G) (JLD-IS G-2013-02) issued in November 2013 (Reference 6) and JLD -ISG-2015-01 issued in April 2015 (Reference 31). These ISGs endorse the compliance approach presented in NEI 13-02 Revisions 0 and 1, Compliance with Order EA-13-1 09, 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 JSGs 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 (0Th:)

for complying with Order EA-13-109 using the methods described in NEI 13-02 and endorsed by NRC Page 2 of 66

Nine Mile Point Unit 2 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents 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.

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 20OIP submittal by means of a combined Phase 1 and 20GIP.
  • 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: At the Licensee's option, the December 2015 six month update for Phase 1 may be independent of the Phase 20GIP submittal, but will require separate six month updates for Phases 1 and 2 until each phase is in compliance. NMP2 is providing a combined OIP for December 2015 submittal.

NMP2 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 at the Remote Operating Station (ROS) combined with control from either the Main Control Room (MCR) or the ROS at the appropriate time based on procedural guidance in response to plant conditions from observed or derived symptoms. The ROS provides backup manual operation of the HCVS valves and purge system as required per Order EA-13-109 Requirement 1.2.5. The vent will utilize Containment Parameters of Pressure and 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 has 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.

Replenishment of the motive force will be by use of portable equipment once the installed motive force is exhausted.

  • Venting actions will be capable of being maintained for a sustained period of up to 7 days.

The Phase 2 actions can be summarized as follows:

  • 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.
  • 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

-Pa-ge 3 of 66

Nine Mile Point Unit 2 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents 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.

Include a description of any alternatives to the guidance. A technicaljustification and basisfor the alternative needs to be provided. This will likely require a pre-meeting with the NRC to review the alternative.

Ref: JLD-LSG-2013-02, JLD-2015-01 Compliance will be attained for Nine Mile Point Unit 2 (NMP2) with no known deviations to the guidelines in JLD-ISG-2013-02, JLD-2015-01, and NHI 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)
  • Phase 1 (wetwell): by the startup from the second refueling outage that begins after June 30, 2014, or June 30, 2018, whichever comes first. Currently scheduled for 2 nd quarter 2016.
  • Phase 2 (alternate strategy): by the startup from first refueling outage that begins after June 30, 2017, or June 30, 2019, whichever comes first. Currently scheduled for 2 nd quarter 2018.

If deviations are identified at a later date, then the deviations will be communicated in a future 6-month update following identification.

Nine Mile Point Unit 2 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Mark TIll 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 NEI 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 NET 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) (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 actions begin as defined in EA-12-049 compliance.

049-7. The HCVS system will include a dedicated 125 VDC battery panel sized for 24-hours of HCVS operation.

Beyond 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> FLEX power will be provided from a 600 VAC bus that will be repowered from the portable FLEX diesel generator. (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-i11.)

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.1.3 (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 criteria (e.g., Appendix J) and are not subject to the testing criteria from NET 13-02 (Reference HCVS-FAQ-O5 [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 [91).

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, Page 6of 66

Nine Mile Point Unit 2 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents valving-in nitrogen bottles) are acceptable to obtain HCVS venting dedicated functionality (Reference HCVS-FAQ-01l[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 functionfs. This is further addressed in HCVS-FAQ-i11.

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 drywell 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 SAWMV 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 respiratory protection are available if required to address contamination issues (Reference HCVS-FAQ-01 [12] and HCVS-FAQ-09).

109-13. The suppression pool/wetwell of a BWR Mark 111I containment is considered to be bounded by assuming a saturated environment for the duration of the event response because of the water/steam interactions.

109-14. RPV depressurization is directed by the EPGs in all cases prior to entry into the SAGs. (reference NEI 13-02 Rev 1 §I. 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-1O.

Plant Specific HCVS Related Assumptions/Characteristics:

NMP2-1 EA-12-049 (FLEX) actions to restore power are sufficient to ensure continuous operation of non-dedicated containment instrumentation identified in the instrument table under the Component Qualification section of this OIP'.

NMP2-2 Modifications that allow a FLEX generator to be connected to a 600 volt safety related bus are assumed

-Page 7 of 66

Nine Mile Point Unit 2 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents to have been installed such that a FLEX generator can be credited for HCVS operation beyond the initial 24-hour sustained operational period.

NMP2-3 The rupture disk will be manually breached if required for anticipatory venting during an ELAP.

NMP2-4 The Plant layout of buildings and structures are depicted in Sketches 3B and 3C. Note the Main Control Room is located on the turbine deck elevation. The Control Building has substantial structural walls and features independent of the Reactor Building. The FIGVS vent stack external to the Reactor Building is indicated on Sketch 2A.

NMP2-5 The HCVS external piping is all above 30-feet from ground level, consists solely of large bore (16-inches nominal diameter) piping and its piping supports, and has less than 300 square feet of cross section. The HCVS external piping meets the reasonable protection requirements of HCVS-WP-04.

Nine Mile Point Unit 2 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 justificationprovided that the time 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 evaluatedper guidance.

Describe in detail in this section the technical basisfor the constraints identified on the sequence of events timeline attachment.

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, 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.
2. Sequence 2 is based on NUREG-1935 (SOARCA) results for an ELAP with early loss of RCIC.
3. Sequence 3 is based on a SECY-12-0 157 SBO (ELAP) with failure of RCIC because of subjectively assuming over injection.

The following is a discussion of time constraints identified in Attachment 2A for the 3 timeline sequences identified above:

  • 7 Hours, Initiate use of HCVS per site procedures to maintain containment parameters within the limits that allow continued use of RCIC (Section A4.3 Reference 24). Initiation of the HCVS is completed first with manipulation of a three way valve and isolation valves at the ROS, then the manipulation of 4 switches located within the MCR or manipulation of manual bypass valves at the ROS. The reliable operation of HCVS will be met because HCVS meets the seismic requirements identified in NEI 13-02 and will be powered by dedicated HCVS batteries with motive force supplied to HCVS valves from installed nitrogen storage bottles. HCVS controls and HCVS instrumentation will be provided from a panel installed in the MCR. Other containment parameter instrumentation associated with operation of Page 10 of 66

Nine Mile Point Unit 2 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent the HCVS is available in the MCR. Operation of the system will be available from either the MCR or a ROS. Dedicated HCVS batteries will provide power for greater than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. Therefore, as action is only required in one location other than the MCR, initiation of the HCVS within 7 hours8.101852e-5 days <br />0.00194 hours <br />1.157407e-5 weeks <br />2.6635e-6 months <br /> is achievable due to the simplicity and limited number of operator actions. Placing the HCVS in operation to maintain containment parameters within design limits for either BDBEE or SA venting would occur at a time further removed from ELAP declaration as shown in Attachment 2.

  • 24 Hours, Replace additional nitrogen bottles. Also, the nitrogen station will have a connection so that an air compressor can be connected; however, this is not the planned method to replenish the motive air supply beyond 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
  • 24 Hours, Replace Argon bottles, as required, to maintain sustained operation. Note that Argon purging is required only if the ELAP progresses to severe accident conditions.
  • 24 Hours, Connect back-up power to HCVS battery charger. The HCVS batteries are calculated to last a minimum of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> (ISE Open Item #8). The HCVS battery charger will be able to be re-powered either from a 600VAC bus that will be re-powered from a portable diesel generator (DG) put in place for FLEX or locally (Reactor Building Track Bay) from a small portable generator. The DG will be staged 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 /> (Reference 1) and therefore will be available prior to being required.

In the event that the DG is not available, a local connection will allow a small portable generator to be connected to the battery charger to provide power. Connection of a small portable generator is achievable within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

[ISF OPEN ITEM-8: Perform final sizing evaluation for TICVS batteries/battery charger and incorporate in FLEX DG loading calculation.]

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 Reactor Building Track Bay. Both locations have significant shielding and physical separation from radiological sources.

Non-radiological habitability for the MCR has been addressed as part of the FLEX response (Reference 1). The location in the Reactor Building Track Bay has no heat sources and will have open doors to provide ventilation if necessary.

  • Actions to replenish the pneumatic and Argon purge supplies will be completed from the Reactor Building Track Bay. The Reactor Building Track Bay is located on the Northeast side of the Reactor Building. The HCVS will exit the Reactor Building on the west side of the Reactor Building approximately 60' from ground elevation which is at elevation 261'. Therefore, the location for pneumatic and Argon supply replenishment is shielded from the HCVS piping by the Reactor Building itself and is greater than 100' away from the piping.
  • Actions to install the DG will occur on the East side of the NMP2 Control Building and within the Control Building itself. The Control Building is located on the south side of the Reactor Building. The locations for installation (and control) of the DG are therefore shielded from HCVS piping by the Reactor Building and is greater than 100' away from the piping. In the event that this DG cannot be operated, the backup portable generator would be connected to the UPS in the Reactor Building Track Bay, which is also a shielded location.

Monitoring~of HCVS (Order Elements 1.1.4, 1.2.8. 1.2.9/NEI 13-02 4.1.3, 4.2.2. 4.2.4. and Appendix FIG)

Provide a description of instruments used to monitor HCVS operation and effluent. Powerfor an instrument will require the intrinsically safe equipment installed as part of the power sourcing Component reliableand rug~ged performance (EA-13-109. Section 2.2 I/NEI 13-02. Section 5.2, 5.3)

HCVS components including instrumentation should be designed, as a minimum, to meet the seismic design requirements of the plant.

Components including instrumentation that are not required to be seismically designed by the design basis of the plant should be designedfor reliable and rugged performance that is capable of ensuring HCVS Iinctionalityfollowing a seismic event. (Reference JLD-ISG-2012-01 and JLD-ISG-2012-03 for seismic details.)

The components including instrumentation external to a seismic category 1 (or equivalent building or enclosure should be designed to meet the external hazards that screen in for the plant as defined in guidance NEI 12-06 as endorsed by JLD-ISG-12-OJfor Order EA-12-049.

Use of instruments and supporting components with known operatingprinciples that are supplied by manufacturers with commercial quality assurance prograins, such as 1509001. The procurementspecifications shall include the seismic requirements and/or instrument design requirements, and specify the needfor commercial design standards and testing under seismic loadings consistent with design basis values at the instrument locations.

Demonstration of the seismic reliability of the instrumentation through methods that predict performance by analysis, qualificationtesting under simnulated 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 Practicefor Seismic Qualification of Class 1E Equipmentfor Nuclear Power Generating Stations," or a substantially similar industrialstandard 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 performedfor the plant licensing basis.

Vent Size and Basis NMP2 is licensed to operate at a thermal power of 3988MW due to a recent extended power uprate project.

There are no current plans to further increase the power level.

The HCVS wetwell path is designed for venting steam/energy at a minimum capacity of 1% of 3988 MW thermal power at pressure of 45 psig (ISF Open Item #3) assuming nominal suppression pooi water level. This pressure is the lower of the containment design pressure and the Primary Containment Pressure Limit (PCPL) value, which are both 45 psig. The size of the wetwell portion of the HCVS is > 12 inches in diameter which provides adequate capacity to meet or exceed the Order criteria, as confirmed in the vent capacity calculation.

Nine Mile Point Unit 2 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent

[ISE OPEN ITEM-3: Perform final vent capacity calculation for the HCVS piping confirming 1%

minimum capacity.]

Vent Capacity The 1% value at NMP2 assumes that the suppression pool has sufficient capacity to absorb the decay heat generated for a minimum of 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> without allowing containment pressure to exceed 45 psig (PCPL) after which point decay heat is less than or equal to 1%. The vent would then be able to prevent containment pressure from increasing above the PCPL. The duration of suppression pooi decay heat absorption capability has been confirmed (Reference 30).

Vent Path and Discharge The HCVS vent path at NMP2 utilizes existing Containment Purge System piping from the suppression chamber and drywell up to the Standby Gas Treatment System isolation valves (2GTS*AOV101 and 2GTS*SOV102). The inboard primary containment isolation valves (PCIV) on the suppression chamber line will be relocated from inside the containment to outside the containment. The outboard PCIV will be relocated to provide room for the inboard valve. The suppression chamber piping exits the containment into the Reactor Building and continues for approximately 140' until it ties into a combined Drywell/Wetwell 20" header. New 16" piping will tie into this header upstream of 2GTS*AOV 101/SOV 102. A new air-operated valve will be provided in this piping, which will serve as the means to control HCVS flow. Although this control valve is not a PCIV, it is designed and fabricated to the same requirements as the HCV$S PCIVs. A rupture disc will be added downstream of this control valve to serve as the secondary containment pressure boundary and to prevent secondary containment bypass leakage due to valve leakage during a design basis LOCA. The discharge piping will exit through the Reactor Building wall approximately 60' above ground elevation and will be routed over to and up the Northwest side of the Reactor Building to a discharge point approximately 3' above the highest point of the Reactor Building roof. The NMP2 vent path is completely separate from the Nine Mile Point Unit 1 (NMP1) vent path. The external piping meets the reasonable protection requirements of HCVS-WP-04 for tornado missiles (Refer to NMP2-5 assumption).

Power and Pneumatic Supply Sources All electrical power required for operation of HCVS components will be provided by dedicated HCVS batteries with a minimum capacity capable of providing power for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> without recharging. An evaluation has been completed as part of the detailed design process (ISE Open Item #8). A battery charger is provided that requires a 120 VAC supply. This will be provided by a 120 VAC bus that will be re-powered by a diesel generator as part of the FLEX response. In addition, a connection point that utilizes standard electrical connections will be provided for a portable generator for sustained operation of the HCVS.

For the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> following the event, the motive supply for the air-operated valves (AOVs) will be nitrogen gas bottles that will be pre-installed and available. These bottles will be sized such that they can provide motive force for at least 8 cycles of a vent path, which includes two openings for each of the two PCIVs (2CPS*AOV109 and *AOVl111) and at least 8 openings of the HCVS isolation valve, 2CPS-AOV134.

A final evaluation will be completed as part of the detailed design process when selection of the system AOVs is finalized (1SE Open Item #9).

[ISE OPEN ITEM-9: Perform final sizing evaluation for pneumatic Nitrogen (N2) supply.]

The permanent motive force supply and HCVS batteries will be located at the ROS in the Reactor Building Track Bay. Supplemental motive force (e.g., additional nit'rogen gas bottles, air compressor.), portable Page 14 of 66

Nine Mile Point Unit 2 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent generators, and enough fuel for an additional 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> of operation will be stored on site in an area that is reasonably protected from assumed hazards consistent with the requirements of NEI 12-06. Pre-engineered quick disconnects will be provided to connect the supplemental motive force supply.

1. The FICVS flow path valves are AOVs that are air-to-open and spring-to-shut. Opening the valves requires energizing a DC powered solenoid operated valve (SOV) and providing motive air/gas. A backup means of operation is also available that does not require energizing or repositioning the SOV.
2. An assessment of temperature and radiological conditions has been performed in ECP-13-000087 and calculation H21C-1 14 to ensure operating personnel can safely access and operate controls at the ROS based on time constraints listed in Attachment 2A.
3. All permanently installed HCVS equipment, including any connections required to supplement the HCVS operation during an ELAP (electric power, N2/air) will be located in areas reasonably protected from the hazards listed in Part 1 of this report.
4. All 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 requiring close proximity to the valve (Reference FAQ HCVS-03, Reference 14).

In addition, the PCIVs and HCVS isolation valve will have a handwheel as an optional means of operation. 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.

5. Access to the locations described above for the primary means of valve manipulation will not require temporary ladders or scaffolding.

Location of Control Panels A control panel is located in the MCR which allows for the operating and monitoring of the HCVS. A secondary location for HCVS operation is the ROS located in the Reactor Building Track Bay. Both locations are protected from adverse natural phenomena and are sufficiently shielded. The MCR is the normal control point for HCVS operation and Plant Emergency Response actions.

The ROS will be located in the Reactor Building Track Bay. The Track Bay is a seismic category I structure and is also designed to withstand tornado missiles (including the outer door) (ISE Open Item #2).

[ISE OPEN ITEM-2: Perform seismic evaluation of Reactor Building Track Bay.]

Hydrogen As required by EA-13-109, Section 1.2.11, the HCVS design will include an Argon purge system that will he connected just downstream of the HCVS isolation valve. It will be designed to prevent hydrogen detonation downstream of that valve. However, the Argon purge system is required to be used only if the ELAP progresses to severe accident conditions which result in the creation of hydrogen. The Argon purge system will have a switch for the control valve in the MCR to allow opening the purge for the designated time, hut it will also allow for local operation in the ROS in case of a DC power or control circuit failure. The installed capacity for the Argon purge system will be sized for 6 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. Evaluation N2-MISC-003, "MAAP Analysis to Support SAWA Strategy" shows that in a severe accident, NMP2 would not be expected to exceed 6 vent cycles in the first 24-hour period. The design allows 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 />.

Page 15 of 66

Nine Mile Point Unit 2 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent The Argon purge system can also be used to breach the rupture disc. The MCR panel will include an indication of vent line pressure upstream of the disc to show when the disc has burst due to the increased Argon pressure.

Unintended Cross Flow of Vented Fluids The HCVS for NMP2 is fully independent of NMP1 with separate discharge points. Therefore, the capacity at each unit is independent of the status of the other unit' s HCVS. The only interfacing system with the HCVS is the Standby Gas Treatment System (SGTS). There are two parallel interface isolation valves separating the SGTS and the HCVS discharge piping (one 20" air operated butteffly valve and one 2" AC solenoid operated globe valve5.

The interface valves between the HCVS and the SGTS are normally-closed, fail-closed (spring and solenoid operated) valves. Upon initiation of an ELAP and associated loss of instrument air, the valves would automatically shut due to spring pressure or loss of power to the solenoid. Therefore, no additional power is necessary. These boundary valves are located at a high point of the SGTS piping. When closed, the leakage is minimized. At slow leakage rates, there would be no motive force to move any accumulated hydrogen away from the high point of the piping, thereby preventing a combustible mixture in any areas of the Reactor Building. A test connection will be added downstream of the boundary valves to facilitate Appendix J type testing of the interface valves. Testing and maintenance will be performed to ensure that the valves remain within established leakage criteria.

Prevention of Inadvertent Actuation EOPs/Emergency Response Guidelines 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 is designed to provide features that prevent inadvertent HCVS flow path actuation due to a design error, equipment malfunction, or operator error. The PCTVs and HCVS isolation valve are opened when a SOV is energized via a switch in the MCR. These switches are key-locked such that an Operator cannot inadvertently turn the switch. In addition, manual valves which bypass the SOV are also locked closed to prevent inadvertent actuation from actions at the ROS. The SOV and bypass valve on the purge line are also locked to prevent an inadvertent actuation of the purge system.

NMP2 does not credit containment accident pressure for ECCS operation.

Component Qualifications The replacement primary containment isolation valves will maintain their safety-related classification to meet existing design basis requirements. The valves have been specified to be designed to perform their design basis function as well as have the ability to operate in the beyond design basis scenario. Likewise, any electrical or controls component which interfaces with Class lE power sources will be classified as safety related up to applicable isolation devices (e.g., fuses, breakers), as their failure could adversely impact containment isolation and/or a safety-related power source. All safety-related components will be seismically and environmentally qualified in accordance with the design basis of the plant.

All components dedicated solely to the HCVS are classified as augmented quality.

Qualification includes consideration of environmental conditions specified in NEI 13-02. HCVS components will be evaluated to ensure functionality following a design basis earthquake.

Instrumentation and controls components have been selected such that they will be able to operate in the beyond design basis environmental conditions, although these evaluations will not be considered part of the site Environmental Qualification (EQ) program.

Nine Mile Point Unit 2 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent HCVS instrumentation performance (e.g., accuracy and precision) need not exceed that of similar plant installed equipment. Radiation monitoring equipment accuracy will be sufficient to determine a transition from no core damage to 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, whichi 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.

Monitorirng of HCVS The NMP2 wetwell HCVS will be capable of being manually operated during sustained operations from a control panel located in the MCR and will meet the requirements of Order element 1.2.4. The MCR is a readily accessible location with no further evaluation required. MCR dose associated with HCVS operation conforms to GDC 19/Alternate Source Term (AST) for radiation shielding considerations (HCVS-FAQ-01, Reference 12). Additionally, to meet the intent for a secondary control location of section 1.2.5 of the Order, a readily accessible ROS is incorporated into the HCVS design as described in NEI 13-02, section 4.2.2.1.2.1 (Reference 9). The controls 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, ELAP, and inadequate containment cooling.

-Page 1-7 of 66

Nine Mile Point Unit 2 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent The wetwell HCVS will include indications for HCVS valve position, Argon system pressure, temperature, and effluent radiation levels to aid operator verification of HCVS function. Other important information on the status of supporting systems, such as power source status and pneumatic supply pressure, will also be included in the design and located to support HCVS operation. This instrumentation will be powered from the dedicated HCVS batteries, which provide a minimum of 24-hour supply.

Other instrumentation that supports HCVS function will be provided nearby in the MCR. This includes existing drywell 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 the DG that supports HCVS battery charger function after 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> also supplies the battery charger for these instruments and will be installed prior to depletion of the station batteries. (Reference [ 1])

The HCVS instruments, including valve position indication, temperature instrumentation, radiation monitoring, and support system monitoring, are qualified as previously described.

Component reliable and rugged performance All safety-related components are seismically qualified in accordance with the NMP2 design basis. All other HCVS components, including piping and supports, electrical power supply, valve actuator pneumatic supply, and instrumentation (local and remote) will be seismically designed or be designed for reliable and rugged operation performance that is capable of ensuring HCVS functionality following a design basis earthquake as required per Section 2.2 of EA-13-109.

For the HCVS instrument's that are required after a potential seismic event, the following methods will be used to verify that the design and installation is reliable / rugged and therefore 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 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 Practicefor Seismic Qualificationof Class JE Equipmentfor 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).
  • seismic qualification using seismic motion consistent with that of existing design basis loading at the Page 18 of 66

Nine Mile Point Unit 2 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for Wetwell Vent installation location.

HCVS components are located in the Reactor Building, Control Building, and Reactor Building Track Bay which are all safety-related, seismic class I structures.

The instrumentation/power supplies/cables/connections (components)/conduits will be qualified for temperature, pressure, seismic g values, radiation level, and total integrated radiation dose up to 7 days for the Effluent Vent Pipe and HCVS ROS location. The qualification for the equipment by the supplier will be validated by NMP for the specific location at NMP2 to ensure that the bounding conditions envelope the specific plant conditions.

The only portion of the HCVS system not contained within a seismic, missile protected structure is the vent pipe external to the Reactor Building. However, the external piping meets the tornado reasonable protection criteria of HCVS-WP-04. All external components are limited to large bore piping and its supports, are located above 30' from ground level, and the piping cross section is less than 300 square feet. The vent pipe penetration through the Reactor Building wall is protected from a direct missile which would have any chance of entering the Reactor Building by the steam tunnel vent hood which is located in front of the penetration.

Augmented quality requirements will be applied to the components installed in response to this Order unless higher quality requirements apply.

Ref: EA-13-109, Section 1.1.4 /NEL 13-02, Section 2.2 First 24 Hour Coping Detail Provide a general description of the venting actionsfor 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 / NEI 13-02, Section 2.5, 4.2.2 The HCVS has been 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.

Following alignment of the three way valve and gas isolation valves (Table 2-1) at the ROS, the HCVS has been designed to allow initiation, control, and monitoring of venting from the MCR and will be able to be operated from an installed ROS as part of the response to this Order. Both locations minimize plant operators' exposure to adverse temperature and radiological conditions and are protected from hazards assumed in Part 1 of this report.

Permanently installed electrical power, Argon purge gas, and motive air/gas capability will be availableto 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 />. Power will be provided by installed batteries for up to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> before generators will be required to be functional.

System control:

i. Active: PCIVs are operated in accordance with EOPs/SAPs to control containment pressure.

The HCVS is designed for a minimum of 8 open/close cycles of the vent path under ELAP conditions over the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> following an ELAP. Controlled venting will be permitted in the revised EOPs.

ii. Passive: Inadvertent actuation protection is provided by use of key-locked switches for HCVS system SOVs and locked manual bypass valves. In addition, a rupture disc is provided downstream of the HCVS flow path valves to preclude valve leakage during a design basis LOCA. The rupture disc would prevent flow following inadvertent opening of the PCIVs provided containment pressure does not exceed the rupture disc setpoint.

The Argon purge system is required only if the ELAP progresses to severe accident conditions and hydrogen is being vented. It will likewise be in the Reactor Building Track bay and will include an Argon bottle station.

Actions to replenish the Argon supplies include replacement of Argon bottles or refilling from an outside source.

Sufficient argon will be staged to support operations for an additional 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> beyond the initial 24-hour coping period following the ELAP event.

The HCVS batteries and battery charger will also be installed in the Reactor Building Track Bay. The UIPS will include battery capacity sufficient for 24-hour operation. The normal power supply to the UPS will be provided from a 120 VAC bus that will be re-powered by a diesel generator as part of the FLEX response. A design change to install portable generator connections to this bus is being completed in support of EA-12-049 (Reference 1). In the event that power is not restored to the bus, a local connection will allow the battery charger to receive power from a small portable generator. Actions to replenish the electrical supply include refueling the DG or connecting and refueling a small portable generator.

Ref: EA-13-109, Section 1.2.6 / NEI 13-02, Section 2.5, 4.2.2 The HCVS has been designed to minimize reliance on operator actions for response to an ELAP and severe accident events. Progression of the ELAP into a severe accident assumes that the FLEX strategies identified in the response to Order EA- 12-049 have not been effective. Immediate operator actions will be completed by operators from either the MCR or the IHC VS 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 plan 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 primary procedural protocol.

The HCVS has been designed to allow initiation, control, and monitoring of venting from the MCR and will be able to be operated from an installed ROS as part of the response to this Order. Both locations minimize plant operators' exposure to adverse temperature and radiological conditions and are protected from hazards assumed in Part 1 of this report. A preliminary evaluation of travel pathways for dose and temperature concerns has been completed and travel paths identified (ISE Open Item #7). A final evaluation of environmental conditions will be completed as part of detailed design for confirmation.

[ISE OPEN ITEM-7: Confirm travel path accessibility.]

Controlled venting will be permitted in the revised EOPs. The configuration of the new pneumatic supplies allows the HCVS system controls to override the containment isolation circuit on the PCIVs needed to vent containment.

ii. Passive: Inadvertent actuation protection is provided by use of key-locked switches for HCVS system SOVs and locked manual bypass valves. In addition, a rupture disc is provided downstream of the HCVS flow path valves to preclude valve leakage during a design basis LOCA.

The pneumatic supply station will be installed in the Reactor Building Track Bay and will include a nitrogen bottle station with an additional connections for an extra nitrogen bottle or a for a portable air compressor.

Connections will utilize pre-engineered quick disconnect fittings. Actions to replenish the pneumatic supplies include replacement of nitrogen bottles or installation and fueling of a portable air compressor. Sufficient nitrogen bottles will be staged to support operations for an additional 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> beyond the initial 24-hour coping period following the ELAP event.

The Argon purge system is required only if the ELAP progresses to severe accident conditions and hydrogen is being vented. It will likewise be in the Reactor Building Track bay and will include an Argon bottle station.

Actions to replenish the Argon supplies include replacement of Argon bottles or refilling from an outside source.

Sufficient Argon will be staged to support operations for an additional 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> beyond the initial 24-hour coping period following the ELAP event.

The HCVS batteries and battery charger will also be installed in the Reactor Building Track Bay. The UPS will include battery capacity sufficient for 24-hour operation. The normal power supply to the UPS will be provided from a 120 VAC bus that will be re-powered by a diesel generator as part of the FLEX response. A design change to install portable generator connections to this bus is being completed in support of EA-12-049 (Reference 1). In the event that power is not restored to the 600 VAC bus, a local connection to the UPS will allow the UIPS to receive power from a small portable generator. Actions to replenish the electrical' supply include refueling the DG or connecting and refueling a small portable generator.

Both the pneumatic and Argon supply stations and the HCVS batteries/battery charger are located in the Reactor Building Track Bay on the Northeast side of the Reactor Building. The track bay is outside of the secondary containment boundary. The HCVS piping will exit the Reactor Building on the west-southwest side of the Reactor Building and be routed to the west-northwest side of the building before going vertical to the top of the building. Therefore, the Reactor Building provides shielding for the Reactor Building Track Bay. A preliminary evaluation of radiological and temperature concerns was completed (ISE Open Item #7). A final evaluation will be completed when the location of the ROS is finalized.

Nine Mile Point Unit 2 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 2: Boundary Conditions for WW Vent - Venting Portable Equipment Deployment Provide a general description of the venting actions using portable equipment including modifications that are proposed to maintain and/or support safety functions.

Ref: EA-13-109, Section 3.1 / NEI 13-02, Section 6.1.2, D.1.3.1 Venting actions using portable equipment include the following:

  • Replacement and replenishment of pneumatic supply sources. This includes the option of replacing nitrogen bottles or connecting a portable air compressor. Equipment sufficient for an additional 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> of vent operation beyond the 24-hour installed supply would be pre-staged in the FLEX storage building.

Installation of the HCVS includes installation of a pneumatic supply header that includes pneumatic regulators and utilizes standard pneumatic connections.

Replacement of the Argon supply source. Equipment sufficient for an additional 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> of vent operation beyond the 24-hour installed supply would be pre-staged in the FLEX storage building.

  • Establishing temporary power to repower the battery charger. Option 1 is to connect the FLEX DG to 2EJS*US 1, which provides power to EHS*MCC102 that in turn powers the HCVS transformer and battery charger. Option 1 would be completed as part of the FLEX response strategy and occurs to the east and inside the NMP2 Control Building. Option 2, to be taken if the FLEX DG cannot be connected to 2EJS*US 1, is to connect a small portable generator to the battery charger. Option 2 would be taken locally at the battery charger. Either of these actions will also require the generators to be refueled. A one line diagram of the electrical system to be installed is included in Attachment 3.

Implementation procedures are being developed to address all HCVS operating strategies, including deployment of portable equipment. Direction to enter the procedure for HCVS operation will be given in the EOPs, the site ELAP procedure, and the SAPs (refer to Part 4 for general information on procedures).

There is minimal impact to deployment actions since the HCVS discharge pipe will be located on the Northwest side of the Reactor Building and deployment areas are either on the EastlNortheast side of the Reactor Building or on the South side of the Reactor Building. Therefore, the procedures/guidelines for HCVS actions are the same as for support equipment section.

This template does not provide guidancefor that option.

Licensees using Option B.2 of EA-13-109 (SAWA and SAWM or 545°F SADW Vent (SADV) with SAWA) may use this template for their OIP submittal. Both SA WM and SADV require the use of SA WA and may not be done independently. The HCVS actions under Part2 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 SAD V Actions supporting SA conditions that have a time constraint to be successful should be identified with a technical basis and a justificationprovided 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 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />sfrom the onset of the loss of all injection sources.

  • Electrical generatorssatisfying the requirements of EA-12-049 may be creditedfor powering components and instrumentationneeded to establish aflow path.
  • Time Sensitive Actions (TSAs) for the purpose of SA WA 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 drywel1l. Actions needed to establishpower 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 SAWM/SADV 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, at MCC/Busses in the Control Building and locally at the intake structure. In addition, HCVS operation may occur at the ROS on the 261l'elevation in the Reactor Building Trackbay (grade elevation).

Timelines (see attachments 2.1 .A for SAWA/SAWM) 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.

A sensitivity case using 500 gpm for 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> was also performed and found that the containment response for the base case (300 gpm for 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />) is virtually the same as the sensitivity case (500 gpm for 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />).

The locations of the SAWA equipment and controls, as well as ingress and egress paths have been evaluated for the expected severe accident conditions (temperature, humidity, radiation) for the Sustained Operating period.

Equipment has been 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 ERO dose and plant safety guidelines for temperature and humidity.

The flow path will be from the FLEX suction at the intake structure for the plant Ultimate Heat Sink (UHS) through the FLEX (SAWA) pump and valve manifold having connections for the SAWA (FLEX) pump and the hose that will deliver SAWA flow to a second valve manifold. Hose connected to the pump valve manifold will be routed to a second valve manifold where SAWA flow indication and control will be provided. This valve manifold will also provide minimum flow and freeze protection for the pump. From this second valve manifold, hose will be routed to the permanent SAWA connection point located within the Reactor Building on the "A" loop of Residual Heat Removal (RHR) via a 3-inch connection consisting of a threaded pipe connection with cap, a manual valve (2RHS*V70) and necessary piping. The manual valve at the connection will be manually opened when the hose is connected. Once the SAWA components are deployed and connected, the SAWA flow path is completed by opening the RHR Low Pressure Coolant Injection (LPCI) valve 2RHS*MOV24A with backflow prevention provided by installed containment isolation check valve 2RHS*V 16A. Cross flow into other portions of the RHR system will be isolated by ensuring closure of the MOVs from the MCR. DW pressure and Suppression Pool level will be monitored and flow rate will be adjusted by use of the FLEX (SAWA) pump control valve at the valve manifold that also contains the SAWA flow indication. Alternately, the flow indication and flow control may be from the pump discharge. Communication will be established between the MCR and the SAWA flow control location.

Motor Operated Valves (MOVs) and containment instrumentation required for SAWA will be powered fr'om the Page 32 of 66

Nine Mile Point Unit 2 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 3: Boundary Conditions for EA-13-109, Option 2 FLEX diesel generators connected in the Control Building Switchgear Rooms as described in the EA- 12-049 compliance documents. The MOV will be operated in a load sequence with other loads to limit the potentia for overloading the FLEX DGs. The FLEX DGs are located near the Control Building which is significantly away from the discharge of the HCVS at the Northwest side of the Reactor Building. Refueling of the FLEX DG will be accomplished from the EDG fuel oil tanks as described in the EA-12-049 compliance documents. 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 / temperature) indicate that personnel can complete the initial and support activities without exceeding the ERG-allowable dose for equipment operation or site safety standards (reference HCVS-WP-02, Plant Specific Dose Analysis for the Venting of Containment during SA Conditions). 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).

Actions already identified under the HC VS part of this template need not be repeatedhere.

There are three time periodsfor the maintainingSA WM actions such that the WW vent remains available to remove decay heatfrom the containment:

  • SAWM can be maintainedfor >7 days without the need for a drywell vent to maintainpressure below PCPL or containment design pressure, whichever is lower.

Nine Mile Point Unit 2 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 3: Boundary Conditions for EA-13-109, Option 2 NMP2 is not bounded by the evaluations performed in BWROG TP-2015-008 and therefore is not representative of the reference plant in NEI 13-02 figures C-2 through C-6. NMP2 will use an initial SAWA flow rate (300 gpm) that is lower than evaluated by BWROG TP-2015-008 and Reference 27 of NEI 13-02 Rev 1 (500 gpm).

NMP2 performed a site specific evaluation to justify the use of a lower initial SAWA flow rate of 300 gpm. 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 six hours before reduction to the Wetwell vent preservation flow rate. The reason for this approach is to be within the capacity of a single FLEX pump so that the deployment time can be reduced as short as possible and within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />. MAAP version 5.03 was used to perform this evaluation and the results demonstrate acceptable containment performance in terms of drywell temperature, pressure and wetwell water level. The evaluation was performed to obtain results consistent with Figures C-2 through C-5 of NEI 13-02 Revision 1. A sensitivity case using 500 gpm for 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> was also performed and found that the containment response for the base case (300 gpm for 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />) is virtually the same as the sensitivity case (500 gpm for 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />).

Instrumentation relied upon for SAWM operations is Drywell Pressure and Suppression Pool level and SAWA flow. Except for SAWA flow, SAWM instruments are initially powered station batteries and then by the FLEX (EA-12-049) generator which is placed in-service prior to core breach. The DG will provide power throughout 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. (C.7.1.4.2, C.8.3.l)

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.

(C.6.3, C.7.l.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.) (C.7.1.4.3) .1.A shows the timeline of events for SAWA ! SAWM. (C.7.1.4.4)

Given the initial conditionsfor EA-13-109:

  • Failure of all injection systems, including steam-powered injection systems Ref: EA-13-109, Section 1.2.6, Attachment 2, Section B.2.2, B.2.3 / NET 13-02, Section 2.5, 4.2.2, Appendix C, Section C.7 SAWA will be established as described above. SAWM will use the installed instrumentation to monitor and adjust the flow from SAWA to control the pump discharge to deliver flowrates applicable to the SAWMI strategy.

Nine Mile Point Unit 2 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Part 4: Programmatic Controls, Training, Drills and Maintenance Describe maintenance plan:

  • The maintenanceprogram should ensure that the HCVS/SA WA/SA WM equipment reliability is being achieved in a manner similar to that requiredfor FLEX equipment. Standard industry templates (e.g.,

EPRI) and associatedbases may be developed to define specific maintenance and testing.

o Periodic testing andfrequency should be determined based on equipment type and expected use (furtherdetails 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 deviationsfrom vendor recommendations and applicable standards should be justified.

o Preventive maintenance should be determined based on equipment type and expected use. The basis should be documented and deviationsfrom vendor recommendations and applicable standards should be justified.

o Existing work control processes may be used to control maintenance and testing.

  • HCVS/SAWA permanent installed equipment should be maintained in a manner that is consistent with assuring that it performs its function when required.

o HCVS/SA WA permanently installed equipment should be subject to maintenance and testing guidance provided to verify properfunction.

  • HCVS/SA WA 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 accessiblefor periodic maintenance and testing.

Ref: EA-13-109, Section 1.2.13 I NET 13-02, Section 5.4, 6.2 NMP2 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.

NMP2 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.

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:

Per generic assumption 109-4, existing containment component's design and testing values are governed by existing plant containment criteria (e.g., Appendix J) and are not subject to the testing criteria from NEI 13-02 (Reference HCVS-FAQ-05 [16] and NEI 13-02, §6.2.2 [9]).

Nine Mile Point Unit 2 Overall Integrated Plan for Reliable Hardened Vents Attachment 2.1 .D: SAWM SAMG Approved Language The following general cautions, prioritiesand methods will be evaluatedfor plant specific applicabilityand incorporatedas appropriateinto the plant specific SAMGs using administrativeproceduresfor EPG/SAG change control process and implementation. SAMGs are symptom based guidelines and therefore address a Wide variety of possible plant conditions and capabilitieswhile these changes are intended to accommodate those specific conditions assumed in Order EA 109. The changes will be made in a way that maintains the use of SAMGs in a symptom based mode while at the same time addressingthose conditions that may exist under extended loss of AC power (ELAP) conditions with significantcore damage including ex-vessel core debris.

Actual Approved Language that will be incorporated into site SAMG*

Cautions:

  • Addressing 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:

  • Water addition is managed to preserve the Mark I1II 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 following 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.
