IER 11-1 IER 11-1, Provide near-term assurance of high state of readiness to respond to both design basis and beyond design basis events
Verify existing capability to mitigate design events Verify existing capability to mitigate SBO Verify capability to mitigate internal/external flooding Walk downs/inspections of equipment needed to mitigate fire and flood events for potential that function could be lost during seismic events

IER 11-1, Supplement 1

Conduct drills/exercises to periodically exercise elements of B.5.b, SBO, and SAMGs Conduct periodic walk downs/inspections mitigating equipment Periodically verify contract/agreements Include SAMGs in configuration change processes Program controls for qualification to SAMGs

IER 11-2 IER 11-2, Spent Fuel Pool Loss of Cooling and Makeup
Increase the sensitivity to spent fuel storage event response
1. Verify shutdown safety provisions applied to SFP during outage 2. Apply increased protection for SFP during operating modes while heat load remains high 3. Provide time to saturation conditions to control room and emergency response staff 4. Abnormal operating procedures address loss of cooling and makeup 5. Emergency procedures contain precaution for monitoring SFP level and temperature

IER 11-4 IER 11-4, Extended Loss of AC Power Exelon Assessments

BWRs
Extend IC/RCIC operation until temporary equipment is installed for RPV makeup and DC power Reduce RCP seal leakage, AFW SG makeup, install temp EDG to maintain DC power Temporary Equipment

Fukushima has clearly changed the world Our task is to make it a change for the better Industry alignment and cooperation with INPO, NEI will continue to be critical Fleets clearly have an advantage since the issues can be very complex Specific cost estimates are still to be determined challenging but manageable
