1. Option 2b Template Example Phillip Grissom – Southern Nuclear Based on Vogtle (more or less) 2012-10-19

2. Plant Information  Westinghouse 4-Loop PWR  99.97% Nukon insulation  ~ 20 ft 3 of Interam fire barrier in ZOI  120 lbs Latent Debris (2x sampled amount)  GEH Stacked Disk Strainers 765 ft 2 per each of 2 RHR trains, separate CS strainers (2)  TSP Buffer

3. GSI-191 Status  Strainer Head Loss and In-vessel issues remain open  Assuming Original 2007 Bypass Test (193 FA) – 111 gm/FA, very conservative but not rev’d by NRC  Previous chemical effects testing provided very promising results, but not accepted by NRC  Completed Laser scan of entire containment for insulation replacement contingency –both Units Dose = 1083 mrem for 1 unit

4. GSI-191 Closure Decision  Essentially 100% Nukon high fiber plant 1.Replace all insulation with RMI & implement extensive & stringent containment cleanliness program – Option 1 2.Replace most insulation with RMI, follow PWROG program, additional modification for debris bypass filter, and testing for reduced chemical effects, transport, head loss and bypass – Option 2a or 3 3.Full Risk Informed (Vogtle and STP are very similar for this issue) - Option 2b

5. GSI-191 Closure Decision – Option 2b  Believe we could solve deterministically for Vogtle, but NRC approval and test results have some uncertainty  Fully risk informed solution, with ample testing and analysis to get best estimate results is very promising and provides insurance for very low probability event  Anticipate re-performing plant specific transport, head loss, bypass and fuel testing for DBE conditions as well as lesser events  Planning for modification to add debris bypass filter

6. Key Testing Anticipated  Chemical Effects for multiple break sizes and range of important parameters  Debris bypass filter – proof of concept testing  Strainer bypass – multiple scenarios  Strainer head loss – multiple scenarios  Debris transport, head loss, strainer bypass at DBE conditions  PWROG testing for BAP with fiber, Fuel  Fuel tests with Vogtle fuel type & source term?

7. Key Analysis Anticipated  LOCA frequency for each break location  System/containment response analysis for multiple break sizes and locations – expect similar results as STP  Boric Acid Precipitation with fiber  CASA Grande modification for Vogtle test results and analysis results  Sensitivity Studies

9. Template Considerations  Vogtle has completed measurements for contingency insulation replacement on both units  Vogtle has Level 2 PRA in good shape  Vogtle has started 3D-CAD model and RELAP5/MELCOR model for RI Option 2b  Insufficient time (because of 18 month cycle and RFO timing) to complete insulation removal by 3 rd RFO after 1/1/2013 (April 2016 vs. 1/1/2019) if RI path not viable

10. Proposed Variance with Template  Complete any PRA justified necessary insulation replacements or remediation, or other identified plant changes during the next refueling outage, following issuance of an SE for the risk-informed resolution LAR for Vogtle 1& 2.  If it is determined during the risk-informed process that this option is not viable, Vogtle will complete a deterministic resolution path by January 1, 2019.
