Organizational Approach to Fukushima
Working groups of specialists under guidance of aFukushima Response Management Committee;
o gathering and evaluation of information about the accident onset, development and consequences;
o identification of lessons learned applicable to Brazilian NPPs;
o safety assessments;
o establishment and management of an executive plan (studies and projects consolidated in the ELETRONUCLEAR Fukushima Response Plan);
o participation in national and international discussion forums about the lessons learned and safety initiatives.
Full Integration with Nuclear Industry InitiativesBrazilian Nuclear Authority

(overall safety evaluation by extended PSA under development for Angra 1, 2 and 3)
Protection from Hazard Events - Results
Earthquakes
Low seismicity site
Largest earthquake 5.2 mb at 250 km (PGA 0.002g at site)
Design PGA 0.10g (p< 10-4/yr)
• preliminary seismic reevaluation according to EPRI Report 1025287;
• Angra characteirzed as “low seismicity site”; no special requirement for further evaluations;
• estimated safety margins of 2.5 for Angra 1 and 3.0 for Angra 2;
• ongoing extensive updating of geological and seismological database (three-years program);
• preliminary GMRS determined for consideration in the Seismic PSA (results up to end 2015).
Slopes very steep around the site
Residual and colluvial soils
High rainfall rates
Station protected by slope stabilization works and slope monitoring system
Rainfalls and Landslides
Protection from Hazard Events - Results
Studies considering heavy rains and seismic induced landslides concluded; extreme case of full rupture of slope covering material evaluated.
Switchyard and discharge channels may be affected however no impact on Plants buildings;
Recommendation for enlargement of slope drainage system and reinforcement of some stabilization works (implementation planned to start until end of 2014);
11
Rainfalls and External Flooding
0 CNG
Angra1 and 2
+ 5.15m + 5.60m
access to safety buildings
plant construction level
Reevaluation of flooding level under more severe conditions concluded (rainfall rate higher than 10,000 years rainfall, blockage of site drainage channels and circulating water discharge tunnel due to landslides);
Current design flooding level includes sufficient safety margin (up to 75.000 years rainfall); checking and reinforcement of existing flooding barriers.
Protection from Hazard Events - Results
Tidal Waves
Protection from Hazard Events - Results
• calculation of tidal waves for severe metereological conditions at Ilha Grande Bay;
• evaluation of jetty stability through physical model;
• expected recommendation of jetty strucutral reinforcement.
Ilha Grande Bay
Angra NP Station
Bay area, natural protection from Atlantic Ocean
13
Tornadoes
Protection from Hazard Events - Results
Tornadoes were not originally considered for Angra 1 and 2 due to low probability (~10-7/y);
Tornado hazard study developed for Angra 3;
Impact on Angra 1 and 2 evaluated and actions plans issued for further evaluation and/or protection of selected structures and components.
Internal FireFire Hazard of Angra 1 revised by EPR (risk based evaluation); design modification packages under evaluation.
Internal Flooding
Reevaluation of Angra 1 design against internal flloding; final report expected for September 2014.

Reevaluation of Cooling Capacity under BDBE
STRESS TEST REPORT
Event Initial Conditions• Loss of Offsite and Onsite Power (SBO) and Loss of Ultimate Heat Sink (LUHS)
• no possibility of external support within 72h after the accident onset;
Plant in Power Operation• 100% reactor power;
Plant at Refueling (worst condition for fuel pool temperature)• full core transferred to fuel pool;
• full utilization of fuel pool storage racks;
(deterministic approach, no credit given to special
design features or conditions at Angra site)

Evaluation of Station Blackout Scenarios (SBO)
special design conditions for Angra 1 and 2 (12 diesel groups for 2 reactors !!!)
normal design condition(2 diesel groups per reactor)
1st Emergency Power System
2nd Emergency Power System
Favorable power supply conditions inAngra 1 and Angra 2
both meet NRC requirements for exclusion of SBO
Very conservative approach of considering loss of all AC power
Evaluation of Station Blackout Scenarios (SBO)
• possibility of SG feeding through mechanically driven pumps (Auxiliary Feedwater Turbine Pump AF-2 in Angra 1 and Diesel Driven Emergency Feedwater Pumps LAS in Angra 2);
• at least 20 hours in Angra 1 and 33 hours in Angra 2 of feeding from, respectively, Auxiliary Feedwater Tank - AFT and Demineralized Water Pools - DWP;
• possibility of AFT and DWP refilling from Fire Fighting Water Supply System - FFWS (5,000 m3 reservoir, located on an elevation 110 m above the site grade);
• possibility of full passive secondary B&F from the FFWS reservoir (connection before SG becomes empty, in case AF-2 or LAS pump fails, about 50 minutes).
Very conservative approach:
• water intake structures in area of protected sea water (Ilha Grande Bay);
• water intake structures protected by jetty 8.0 m high above average seawater level;
• very low probability of water intake blockage to the extent of impairing minimum flow for residual heat removal;
Main implications for the plants:
• failure of both Emergency Supply Diesel Generator Systems in Angra 1 (bunkered Emergency Feedwater Diesels in Angra 2 not dependent on Service Water);
• impossibility of operating the RHR chain.

Severe Accident Management Guidelines (SAMGs):
•pre-Fukushima WOG SAMGs are in the final process of validation, integration with the Emergency planning procedures and training in Angra 1;
• post-Fukushima AREVA SAMGs in the final process of validation, integration with the Emergency planning procedures and training in Angra 2;
(other improvements in the infrastructure for emergency planning are being planned and performed).
