GO2-18-102 SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION NEEDED LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST REGARDING RENEWED FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE AND TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION CLEAN-UP ENERGY NORTHWEST COLUMBIA GENERATING STATION DOCKET NO. 50-397 By letter dated June 12, 2018 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML18163A351), Energy Northwest (the licensee) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) for Columbia Generating Station (Columbia). The proposed amendment would remove the Table of Contents from the Technical Specifications (TSs) and place it under licensee control, and clean-up the renewed facility operating license (RFOL) and TSs, including editorial changes, the removal of obsolete TS information, renumbering TS pages and the removal of obsolete license conditions and attachments. The NRC staff has concluded that supplemental information is required in order to make the application complete, as discussed below.

Background

The LAR's cover letter introduction states, in part, that this request is an administrative change that does not "result in changes to the technical or operating requirements" of Columbia. The LAR further states, in Section 2.2.4, that as low as reasonable achievable (ALARA) reviews were made of areas where shield walls were deferred (not constructed per Columbia Amendment No. 7) and these results were considered acceptable.

Reference 12 of the LAR (Inspection Report 05000397 /2016003 for Columbia; ADAMS Accession No. ML16302A315), states that in 2015 certain shield wall location areas found in Attachment 3, "List of Shield Walls," of RFOL NPF-21 for Columbia (where a shield wall does not physically exist) have exceeded radiation and ALARA controls.

These areas are locations that are also related to the RFOL License Condition 2.C.(11),

"Shield Wall Deferral (Section 12.3.2, SSER #4, License Amendment #7)."

Reference 12 of the LAR, states that non-compliance in Attachment 3 areas related to the license condition stated above, have occurred in 2010 and 2015, and that in 2015, a licensee-identified non-cited violation for this non-compliance issue was issued, which subsequently created two licensee corrective action program entries (Action requests (ARs) 00354266 and 0035320).

Reference 12 of the LAR, also states that the intent of the ARs included an "update [to Columbia's] [license] condition to accurately reflect current operations." Therefore, the amendment's proposed changes are to remove License Condition 2.C(11) and from the TSs. Reference 12 of the LAR, further states that an ALARA program was not practiced in full for areas of Attachment 3 related to the license condition from 2009 to 2015.

The amendment's proposed changes to remove License Condition 2.C(11), concerning Shield Wall deferment (Columbia's Amendment No. 7) and the associated areas stated in Attachment 3, would then omit documentation of Columbia's current licensing basis.

GO2-18-102 Specifically, the proposed changes would therefore not reflect Columbia's current operations nor the technical and operating requirements associated with Columbia's Amendment No. 7 and the areas related to shield wall deferment.

Supplemental Information Requested:

1. The licensee is requested to provide a supplement that either; a) Retains and documents licensing basis continuity for the items above rather than deleting them per the current submittal; or b) Provides a full justification for the intended change that includes the complete licensing history, documentation and discussion that would support the proposed change while still representing the full technical and operating arrangement of Columbia. Additionally, a full justification should fully document, as proposed in the amendment, that License Condition 2.C(11) is obsolete.

Response to Supplemental Information Request:

Energy Northwest submits Enclosures 1 through 5 of this Attachment to replace and supersede in their entirety Enclosures 1 through 5 of the original submittal in Reference 1 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18163A351) dated June 12, 2018. The superseding Enclosures fully document justification for the requested LAR as amended by this supplement.

GO2-18-057 Page 1 of 10 Evaluation of Proposed Operating License and Technical Specification Changes 1.0

SUMMARY

DESCRIPTION This evaluation supports a License Amendment Request (LAR) to the Columbia Generating Station (Columbia) Operating License (OL) NPF-21 and Appendix A, Technical Specifications (TS). The proposed changes are clean-ups of the OL and TS.

They are administrative and editorial and will not result in any change to operating requirements. This amendment is requested to remove the Table of Contents (TOC) from the TS and place it under licensee control. Additionally, this amendment proposes a number of editorial changes to the OL and TS, including, but not limited to, removal of an obsolete OL condition and OL attachments, the removal of obsolete TS information, and renumbering TS pages. Neither the proposed administrative changes nor the proposed editorial changes result in changes to technical or operating requirements.

The specific sections of the TS affected by the changes are listed below:

Page i through iv TOC Section 1.1 Definitions Section 3.2.4 APRM Gain and Setpoint Section 3.3.1.1 RPS Instrumentation Section 3.3.1.3 OPRM Instrumentation Section 3.3.2.1 Control Rod Block Instrumentation Section 3.4.1 Recirculation Loops Operating Section 3.10.8 SDM Test - Refueling Section 5.6.3 Reporting Requirements Various Sections 3.1.6, 3.3.6.1, 3.3.8.1, 3.5.1, and 5.5.4 contain typographical errors that will be corrected in this amendment.

The specific condition and attachments of the OL affected by the changes are:

Condition 2.C.(33) Control Room Envelope Habitability Program (CRE) Deleted Deleted Implementation of this LAR will result in no physical modification to the plant. This proposed change has no adverse effect on the plant or plant safety.

GO2-18-057 Page 2 of 10 2.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION 2.1 Current Technical Specification and Operating License Energy Northwest proposes a clean-up to Columbias OL and TS to remove obsolete information and correct administrative errors. The changes may cause repagination of certain sections of both documents. Those changes are incorporated into this LAR.

Energy Northwest proposes to correct typographical errors in various sections of TS.

Also the TOC will be removed from the TS and placed under licensee control. Energy Northwest is addressing the reasoning and descriptions for the proposed changes below.

2.2. Reason and Description for the Proposed Changes 2.2.1 Removal of TOC from TS The proposed change would revise the OL to remove the TOC from the TS. The TOC for the TS is not being eliminated, rather, following approval of this LAR, responsibility for maintenance and issuance of updates to the TS TOC will transfer from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to Energy Northwest. The TOC will no longer be included in the NRC issued TS and as such will no longer be part of the TS (Appendix A to the Operating License). The TOC for the TS will be maintained under Energy Northwests control. The TOC will be issued by Energy Northwest in conjunction with the implementation of future NRC approved TS amendments.

Placing the TOC under licensee control eliminates the regulatory burden of submitting TOC pages for NRC review and allows timely administrative corrections and improvements to the TOC without NRC review and approval.

2.2.2 Amendment 226, Implementation of Power Range Neutron Monitoring/Average Power Range Monitor Rod Block Monitor Technical Specifications/Maximum Extended Load Line Limit Analysis (PRNM/ARTS/MELLLA) Clean-up On January 31, 2014, Energy Northwest received license Amendment 226, allowing the implementation of the Power Range Neutron Monitoring (PRNM) upgrade, ML13317B623. (Reference 1) The LAR contained changes to several TS. The license amendment was effective on January 31, 2014, however it would not be implemented until prior to plant startup following refueling outage 22. The refueling outage was scheduled to begin in May 2015.

In support of the license amendment request, Energy Northwest submitted a Response to Request for Additional Information Regarding License Amendment Request to Implement PRNM/ARTS/MELLLA. (Reference 2). Enclosure 4 of that submittal was the Revision to Description of Proposed Technical Specification Changes. The changes made to the proposed TS were required to accommodate the implementation schedule. TS 3.3.1.1, 3.3.1.3, 3.3.2.1, 3.2.4, 3.4.1, and 3.10.8 were modified to reflect

GO2-18-057 Page 3 of 10 the applicability of prior to implementation of PRNM upgrade or after implementation of PRNM upgrade, as appropriate. The header of each specification included the same modification.

In that response, Energy Northwest stated that once the PRNM upgrade was installed in the plant, a TS change would be submitted to delete the obsolete Specifications and portions thereof. Amendment 226 (Reference 1) contains recognition that the information below would be removed from Columbias TS after PRNM/ARTS/MELLLA implementation.

1. Specifications 3.2.4 Power Distribution Limits and 3.3.1.3 OPRM Instrumentation will be deleted. These Specifications are obsolete with the implementation of the PRNM upgrade.
2. The Definition of Maximum Fraction of Limiting Power Density (MFLPD) will be deleted. Since TS 3.2.4 is being deleted, this Definition is no longer in use at Columbia.
3. Specifications 3.3.1.1, 3.3.2.1, 3.4.1, and 3.10.8 contain pages that are applicable prior to implementation . . . and after implementation . . ..

Each portion of these Specifications containing the header Prior to implementation of PRNM Upgrade will be deleted. TS pages 3.3.1.1-1 through 8, 3.3.2.1-1 through 6, 3.4.1-1 through 2 and 3.10.8-1 through 4 will be deleted.

Each of the remaining Specifications containing the header language After implementation of PRNM Upgrade will have this language deleted from the header. The language after implementation of Power Range Neutron Monitor (PRNM) upgrade will be deleted from the APPLICABILITY. The remaining TS pages will be renumbered to 3.3.1.1-1 through 10, 3.3.2.1-1 through 7, 3.4.1-1 through 2 and 3.10.8-1 through 3.

4. Bullet a.4 of TS 5.6.3 will be deleted. The language after the PRNM upgrade will be deleted from Bullets a.5 and a.6 of TS 5.6.3.

2.2.3 Correction of Typographical Errors The correction of typographical errors in the TS are detailed in Section 3.3 below. The corrections are supported by the guidance contained in the Writer's Guide for Plant-Specific Improved Technical Specifications (Reference 3).

GO2-18-057 Page 4 of 10 2.2.4 Removal of License Condition 2.C. (33) - Control Room Envelope (CRE)

Habitability Program The first performances of the associated CRE habitability surveillance, assessment and measurement are complete, see Table 3.5 below. Successive performances of the surveillances, assessments, and measurements will follow the respective frequencies identified in TS 5.5.14.c and 5.5.14.d. With the first performances complete for Columbia, the OL Conditions are no longer required and can be removed.

2.2.5 Removal of Attachment 1 and Attachment 2 Columbias OL was modified to delete the contents of Attachments 1 and 2 with Amendment 223, on March 30, 2012, but the attachments, themselves, were retained (Reference 4). The proposed change will delete these attachments.

3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION

The proposed changes to Columbias OL and TS are either administrative or editorial and do not affect how plant equipment is operated or maintained. No changes to the physical plant or analytical methods are described and there are no impacts on the updated Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) accident analysis.

3.1 Removal of TOC from TS The TOC does not meet the criteria specified in 10 CFR 50.36 requiring its inclusion within a plant's TS. 10 CFR 50.36(b) states:

"Each license authorizing operation of a production or utilization facility of a type described in § 50.21 or § 50.22 will include technical specifications. The technical specifications will be derived from the analyses and evaluation included in the safety analysis report, and amendments thereto, submitted pursuant to § 50.34."

Title 10 CFR 50.36(c) states the "Technical specifications will include items in the following categories." Review of 10 CFR 50.36 indicates that a TOC was not listed in the regulation as one of the categories.

Title 10 CFR 50.36(a) indicates that a license application may provide other information associated with the TS, and gives an example of this information, i.e., the TS Bases, but 10 CFR 50.36(a) also clearly indicates that the Bases are not a part of the TS.

"Each applicant for a license ... shall include in his application proposed technical specifications in accordance with the requirements of this section. A summary statement of the bases or reasons for such specifications, other than those covering administrative controls, shall also be included in the application, but shall not become part of the technical specifications."

GO2-18-057 Page 5 of 10 The TOC references the page number of each Specification in the TS and does not contain any technical information required by 10 CFR 50.36. Since the TOC does not include information required to be in the TS by 10 CFR 50.36, inclusion of a TOC within the TS is optional. Removal of the TOC from the TS is an administrative change and is acceptable.

Additionally, the "Writer's Guide for Plant-Specific Improved Technical Specifications

(Reference 3) was reviewed for guidance. The writer's guide refers to the TOC as "Technical Specification Front Matter," which also includes the Title Page and List of Effective Pages. These portions of the TS are under licensee control, as is proposed for the TOC.

The TS TOC will be maintained, revised, and distributed in accordance with Columbias administrative procedures. Holders of copies of the TS, including the NRC, will continue to receive periodic updates of the TOC pages.

3.2 Amendment 226, Implementation of Power Range Neutron Monitoring/Average Power Range Monitor Rod Block Monitor Technical Specifications/Maximum Extended Load Line Limit Analysis (PRNM/ARTS/MELLLA) Clean-up In May and June 2015, Columbia conducted refueling outage 22. During that outage, the PRNM upgrade was implemented. Since the PRNM upgrade has been implemented, the TS pages that refer to prior to implementation . . . are obsolete and can be deleted.

Additionally, two typographical errors were identified in TS 3.3.1.1 and are being corrected in the LAR. These corrections are contained in the TS markups related to the Implementation of PRNM/ARTS/MELLLA.

1. TS 3.3.1.1, ACTION I.2 - the period is missing after the word OPERABLE.
2. TS Table 3.3.1.1-1 (page 2 of 4) - there are extra hard returns after the SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS for c. Neutron Flux - High and d. Inop.

3.3 Correction of Typographical Errors The correction of typographical errors in the TS are detailed below.

1. TS 3.1.6, ACTION B - the period is missing after B.
2. TS Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.3.6.1.5 - the period is missing after the word CALIBRATION.
3. TS Table 3.3.6.1 - the acronyms RWCU, SLC and RHR SDC should be spelled out in first use within the Table: Reactor Water Cleanup (RWCU), Standby Liquid Control (SLC), and Residual Heat Removal (RHR) Shutdown Cooling (SDC).

GO2-18-057 Page 6 of 10

4. TS SR 3.3.8.1.3 - the period is missing after the word CALIBRATION.
5. TS 3.5.1 NOTE - the acronym HPCS should be spelled out in first use within the TS: High Pressure Core Spray (HPCS).
6. TS 5.5.4.j and k - the and should be deleted from TS 5.5.4.j. The period should be deleted in TS 5.5.4.k and replaced with and ;.

3.4 Removal of License Condition 2.C. (33) - Control Room Envelope (CRE)

Habitability Program Table 3.5 CRE Habitability Completion License Condition Specification Completion Date 2.C.(33)(a) 5.5.14.c(i) 11/17/2010 2.C.(33)(b) 5.5.14.c(ii) 06/24/2010 2.C.(33)(c) 5.5.14.d - System A 03/18/2010 2.C.(33)(c) 5.5.14.d - System B 12/06/2011 3.5 Removal of Attachment 1 and Attachment 2 Removal of Attachments 1 and 2 is administrative. The License Conditions related to these Attachments have previously been deleted.

3.6 Impact on Submittals under Review by the NRC Energy Northwest has submitted a LAR to adopt Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF) TSTF-542, Reactor Pressure Vessel Water Inventory Control. TSTF-542 includes a change to TS 3.3.6.1 Primary Containment Isolation Instrumentation Table 3.3.6.1-1. The change deletes information in Function 5.d and footnote d. The present LAR spells out Residual Heat Removal (RHR) Shutdown Cooling (SDC) in the first instance of use within Table 3.3.6.1-1, which is Function 5. The changes are unrelated nor does one impact the other. Thus, the two amendment requests are not linked.

Energy Northwest has submitted a LAR to adopt TSTF-551, "Revise Secondary Containment Surveillance Requirements. This change does not affect any of the same TS pages discussed in the present LAR. Therefore, the two amendment requests are not linked.

4.0 REGULATORY EVLAUATION The Columbia FSAR Chapter 3 provides detailed discussion of Columbias compliance with the applicable regulatory requirements and guidance.

The proposed OL and TS amendment is administrative in nature and:

GO2-18-057 Page 7 of 10 Does not result in any change in the qualifications of any component; and Does not result in the reclassification of any components status in the areas of shared, safety-related, independency, redundancy, and physical or electrical separation.

4.1 Applicable Regulatory Requirements and Guidance The proposed changes to the Columbia OL and TS are either administrative or editorial and do not affect any regulatory requirements or guidance. These changes do not affect how plant equipment is operated or maintained and there are no changes to the physical plant or analytical methods. Therefore, there are no impacts on the FSAR accident analysis.

5.0 Precedent A license amendment was issued to the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant to remove the TOC from the TS (Reference 5) on November 8, 2007. A license amendment was issued for the Waterford Steam Electric Station to remove the TS Index (which corresponds to the TOC) from the TS on May 9, 2005 (Reference 6). Also, as discussed in the response to an NRC request for additional information regarding Waterfords LAR (Reference 7), the Arkansas Nuclear One (ANO) and Grand Gulf TS issued following conversion to the Improved Standard Technical Specifications did not include a TOC. Both ANO and Grand Gulf maintain the TOC under their administrative procedures and periodically provide updated pages to controlled copy holders.

A license amendment was issued to Byron and Braidwood Stations on July 5, 2017, to remove the license conditions related to the License Amendments for TSTF-448 (Control Room Envelope (CRE) Habitability Program) after implementation. (Reference 8). Although these plants are Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs) while Columbia is a Boiling Water Reactor (BWR), the OL implementing language of TSTF-448 for the CRE Habitability Program was the same for the reactor types.

A license amendment was issued to Columbia Generating Station on March 30, 2012, that allowed clean-up of the OL by removing obsolete license conditions. (Reference 4).

6.0 No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination Energy Northwest has evaluated whether or not a significant hazards consideration is involved with the proposed amendment by focusing on the three standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92, Issuance of amendment, as discussed below:

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

Response: No.

GO2-18-057 Page 8 of 10 The impacts of these administrative changes do not affect how plant equipment is operated or maintained. The proposed changes do not impact the intent or substance of the Operating License (OL) or Technical Specifications (TS). There are no changes to the physical plant or analytical methods.

The proposed amendment involves administrative and editorial changes only. The proposed amendment does not impact any accident initiators, analyzed events, or assumed mitigation of accident or transient events. The proposed changes do not involve the addition or removal of any equipment or any design changes to the facility. The proposed changes do not affect any plant operations, design functions, or analyses that verify the capability of structures, systems, and components (SSCs) to perform a design function. The proposed changes do not change any of the accidents previously evaluated in the updated Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR).

The proposed changes do not affect SSCs, operating procedures, and administrative controls that have the function of preventing or mitigating any of these accidents.

Therefore, the proposed changes do not represent a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

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

Response: No The proposed amendment only involves administrative and editorial changes. No actual plant equipment or accident analyses will be affected by the proposed changes. The proposed changes will not change the design function or operation of any SSCs. The proposed changes will not result in any new failure mechanisms, malfunctions, or accident initiators not considered in the design and licensing bases.

The proposed amendment does not impact any accident initiators, analyzed events, or assumed mitigation of accident or transient events.

Therefore, this proposed changes do not create the possibility of an accident of a new or different kind than previously evaluated.

3) Does the proposed change involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

Response: No The proposed amendment only involves administrative and editorial changes. The proposed changes do not involve any physical changes to the plant or alter the manner in which plant systems are operated, maintained, modified, tested, or inspected. The proposed changes do not alter the manner in which safety limits, limiting safety system settings or limiting conditions for operation are determined.

The safety analysis acceptance criteria are not affected by these changes. The proposed changes will not result in plant operation in a configuration outside the

GO2-18-057 Page 9 of 10 design basis. The proposed changes do not adversely affect systems that respond to safely shutdown the plant and to maintain the plant in a safe shutdown condition.

Therefore, the proposed changes do not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Based on the above, Energy Northwest concludes that the proposed amendment to the Columbia OL and TS does not involve a significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c), and, accordingly, a finding of no significant hazards consideration is justified.

7.0 CONCLUSION

S Based on the considerations discussed above: (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the applicable regulations as identified herein, 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.

8.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

Energy Northwest has determined that the proposed amendment would not change requirements with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within Columbia's restricted area, as defined in 10 CFR 20, nor would it change an inspection or surveillance requirement. Energy Northwest has evaluated the proposed changes and has determined that the changes do not involve, (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) a significant change in the types or a significant increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite, or (iii) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. Accordingly, the proposed changes meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion in accordance with 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.
