SUMMARY

DESCRIPTION In accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.90 and 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, "Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities,"Section IV.B, Luminant Generation Company LLC (Luminant Power) is submitting a request for an amendment to the Emergency Plan for Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant (CPNPP) Units 1 and 2.

The proposed amendment involves upgrading selected CPNPP Emergency Action Levels (EALs) based on NEI 99-01, Revision 6, "Development of Emergency Action Levels for Non-Passive Reactors" (Reference 1) using the guidance of NRC Regulatory Issue Summary 2003-18, Supplement 2, "Use of Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 99-01, Methodology for Development of Emergency Action Levels" (Reference 2). CPNPP currently uses an emergency classification scheme based on Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 99-01, Revision 5, "Methodology for Development of Emergency Action Levels,"

February 2008 (Reference 3) endorsed by the NRC in Letter from C. G. Miller (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) to Alan Nelson (Nuclear Energy Institute) dated February 22, 2008, "U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Review and Endorsement of NEI-99-01, Revision 5, dated February 2008,"

(Reference 4) and approved for CPNPP in Reference 5. The plan, as changed, would continue to meet the standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b) and the requirements in Appendix E to 10 CFR 50.

2.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION CPNPP currently uses an emergency classification scheme based on Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 99-01, Revision 5, "Methodology for Development of Emergency Action Levels," February 2008 (Reference

3) endorsed by the NRC in Letter from C. G. Miller (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) to Alan Nelson (Nuclear Energy Institute) dated February 22, 2008, "U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Review and Endorsement of NEI-99-01, Revision 5, dated February 2008," (Reference 4) and approved for CPNPP in Reference 5. Luminant Power requests approval to change the CPNPP scheme basis to that described in NEI 99-01, Revision 6," Development of Emergency Action Levels for Non-Passive Reactors."

3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION

The Initiating Conditions (ICs) and EALs that comprise the proposed scheme are presented in . This matrix provides a cross-reference between each generic IC and EAL contained in NEI 99-01, Revision 6 and the proposed CPNPP-specific IC and EAL. Differences and Deviations are identified in accordance with the guidance discussed in RIS 2003-18 and Supplements. The basis for each Difference is included in Attachment 2. There are no Deviations from NEI 99-01, Revision 6. The matrix follows the presentation order of NEI 99-01, Revision 6 -Abnormal Rad Levels/Radiological Effluent, Cold Shutdown/Refueling System Malfunction, Events Related to Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI), Fission Product Barrier Degradation, Hazards and Other Conditions Affecting Plant Safety, and System Malfunction. The Defueled Station section is not used since CPNPP is an operating plant.

Differences and Deviations As discussed in Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2003-18, Supplement 1, dated July 13, 2004, differences and deviations are defined as follows:

  • A difference is an EAL change where the basis scheme guidance differs in wording but agrees in meaning and intent, such that classification of an event would be the same, whether using the basis scheme guidance or the site-specific proposed EAL. Examples of differences include the use of site-specific terminology or administrative re-formatting of site-specific EALs.

Attachment to TXX-15101 Page 3 of 6 A deviation is an EAL change where the basis scheme guidance differs in wording and is altered in meaning or intent, such that classification of the event could be different between the basis scheme guidance and the site-specific proposed EAL. Examples of deviations include the use of altered mode applicability, altering key words or time limits, or changing words of physical reference (protected area, safety- related equipment, etc.). identifies each Difference between NEI 99-01 and the final products being evaluated in this LAR. These differences do not alter the meaning or intent of the ICs or EALs. There are no Deviations between NEI 99-01 and the final products being evaluated in this LAR.

Incorporation of Action Level Frequently Asked Questions Where appropriate, information from Emergency Action Level Frequently Asked Questions (EALFAQs) has been incorporated into Attachment 2 and Attachment 3.

Related Documents includes the site-specific Technical Basis Document for each recognition category for the proposed scheme. A Redline and Strikeout version is provided as Attachment 4. These documents include appropriate information from the basis information contained in NEI 99-01, Revision 6. provides the Supporting Calculation for CPNPP EAL Table R-1, "Effluent Monitor Classification Thresholds." Attachment 6 contains the proposed CPNPP EAL Wallcharts.

Operational Modes and Applicability Mode applicability of the proposed ICs and EALs is consistent with the NEI 99-01, Revision 6 basis scheme. The Operating Modes for CPNPP, as defined in the Technical Specifications, are listed below.

MODE TITLE REACTIVITY  % RATED AVERAGE REACTOR CONDITION (keff) THERMAL POWER COOLANT TEMPERATURE (F) 1 Power Operation >0.99 >5 NA 2 Startup >0.99 <5 NA 3 Hot Standby <0.99 NA >350 4 Hot Shutdown <0.99 NA 350>Tavg>200 5 Cold Shutdown <0.99 NA <200 6 Refueling NA NA NA In addition to these operating modes, NEI 99-01, Revision 6 defines the "Defueled" mode as the condition present when all reactor fuel is removed from Reactor Vessel (full core off load during refueling or an extended outage). Station procedures recognize this condition as "No Mode."

State/Local Government Review of Proposed Changes Luminant Power interacts periodically with the Texas and local emergency management agencies. The State and Local emergency management officials are advised of any EAL changes actually implemented. In the case of this EAL scheme revision, Luminant Power has committed to review the new classification scheme to State and Local emergency management officials following NRC approval and prior to implementation.

Implementation Description Luminant Power plans to implement the proposed emergency classification scheme in the third quarter of 2016. When implemented, the changes to the EALs presented in Attachment 3 will become effective.

Attachment to TXX-15101 Page 4 of 6 The EAL Technical Basis Document (Attachment 3) will be revised and maintained as a training and background reference resource. Any changes to the approved ICs and EALs will be made in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q).

4.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION

4.1 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria The regulation in 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4) states, "A standard emergency classification and action level scheme, the bases of which include facility system and effluent parameters, is in use by the nuclear facility licensee, and State and Local response plans call for reliance on information provided by facility licensees for determinations of minimunm initial offsite response measures."

10 CFR 50 Appendix E, Section IV, Content of Emergency Plans, item B, Assessment Actions states:

1. "The means to be used for determining the magnitude of, and for continually assessing the impact of, the release of radioactive materials shall be described, including emergency action levels that are to be used as criteria for determining the need for notification and participation of Local and State agencies, the Commission, and other Federal agencies, and the emergency action levels that are to be used for determining when and what type of protective measures should be considered within and outside the site boundary to protect health and safety. The emergency action levels shall be based on in-plant conditions and instrumentation in addition to onsite and offsite monitoring. By June 20, 2012, for nuclear power reactor licensees, these action levels must include hostile action that may adversely affect the nuclear power plant. The initial emergency action levels shall be discussed and agreed on by the applicant or licensee and state and local governmental authorities, and approved by the NRC.

Thereafter, emergency action levels shall be reviewed with the State and Local governmental authorities on an annual basis."

2. A licensee desiring to change its entire emergency action level scheme shall submit an application for an amendment to its license and receive NRC approval before implementing the change. Licensees shall follow the change process in § 50. 5 4 (q) for all other emergency action level changes.

Regulatory Guide 1.101, Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Nuclear Power Reactors, Revision 4, Section C, Regulatory Position states:

"The guidance in NUMARC/NESP-007 (Revision 2, January 1992), "Methodology for Development of Emergency Action Levels," is acceptable to the NRC staff as an alternative method to that described in Appendix 1 to NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 for developing EALs required in Section IV.B of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50 and 10 CFR50.47(b)(4). In addition, the guidance contained in NEI 99-01 (Revision 4, January 2003), "Methodology for Development of Emergency Action Levels," is acceptable to the NRC staff as an alternative method to that described in Appendix 1 to NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 and NUMARC/NESP-007 for developing EALs required in Section IV of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50 and 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4)."

4.2 No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination Luminant Power has evaluated whether or not a significant hazards consideration (SHC) is warranted with the proposed changes by addressing the three criteria set forth in 10 CFR50.92(c) as discussed below:

Attachment to TXX-15101 Page 5 of 6

1. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?

Response: No.

These changes affect the CPNPP Emergency Plan and do not alter any of the requirements of the Operating License or the Technical Specifications. The proposed changes do not modify any plant equipment and do not impact any failure modes that could lead to an accident. Additionally, the proposed changes do not impact the consequence of any analyzed accident since the changes do not affect any equipment related to accident mitigation. Based on this discussion, the proposed amendment does not increase the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

2. Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

Response: No.

These changes affect the CPNPP Emergency Plan and do not alter any of the requirements of the Operating License or the Technical Specifications. They do not modify any plant equipment and there is no impact on the capability of the existing equipment to perform their intended functions. No system setpoints are being modified and no changes are being made to the method in which plant operations are conducted. No new failure modes are introduced by the proposed changes. The proposed amendment does not introduce accident initiators or malfunctions that would cause a new or different kind of accident.

Therefore, the proposed amendment does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

3. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

Response: No.

These changes affect the CPNPP Emergency Plan and do not alter any of the requirements of the Operating License or the Technical Specifications. The proposed changes do not affect any of the assumptions used in the accident analysis, nor do they affect any operability requirements for equipment important to plant safety. Therefore, the proposed changes will not result in a significant reduction in the margin of safety as defined in the bases for technical specifications covered in this license amendment request.

4.3 Conclusion In conclusion, based on the considerations discussed above, (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by the proposed change in the CPNPP EAL Scheme, (2) operation of CPNPP will continue to be conducted in compliance with the Commission regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

Luminant Power has determined that the proposed amendment would not change requirements with respect to use of a facility component located within the restricted area, as defined by 10 CFR 20, nor

Attachment to TXX-15101 Page 6 of 6 would it change inspection or surveillance requirements. Luminant Power has evaluated the proposed change and has determined that the change does not involve:

I. A Significant Hazards Consideration, II. A significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluent that may be released off site, or III. A significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.

Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9) and (10)(ii). Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.

Differences due to plant types are permissible (BWR or PWR).

Verbatim compliance to the wording in NEI 99-01 is not necessary as long as the intent of the defined word is maintained. Use of the wording provided in NEI 99-01 is encouraged since the intent is for all users to have a standard set of defined terms as defined in NEI 99-01.

  • Any change to the IC and/or EAL, and/or basis wording as stated in NEI 99-01 that does alter the intent of the IC and/or EAL, i.e., the IC and/or EAL:

o Does not classify at the classification level consistent with NEI 99-01.

o Is not logically integrated with other EALs in the EAL scheme.

o Results in an incomplete EAL scheme (i.e., does not classify all potential emergency conditions).

The "Difference/Deviation Justification" columns in the remaining sections of this document identify each difference between the NEI 99-01 IC/EAL wording and the CPNPP IC/EAL wording. An explanation that justifies the reason for each difference is then provided. If the difference is determined to be a deviation, a statement is made to that affect and explanation is given that states why classification may be different from the NEI 99-01 IC/EAL and the reason for its acceptability. In all cases, however, the differences and deviations do not decrease the effectiveness of the intent of NEI 99-01. A summary list of CPNPP EAL deviations from NEI 99-01 is given in Table 3.
