SUMMARY

DESCRIPTION This evaluation supports a request to amend the Operating Licenses (DPR-66 and NPF-73) and the Technical Specifications for Beaver Valley Power Station (BVPS)

Units 1 and 2.

The proposed changes will revise the Operating Licenses and Technical Specifications by:

  • adding a unit designator to the Operating License pages, renumbering the pages, and deleting an obsolete License Condition and Exemption,
  • updating the list of enclosures in the Unit 2 license to reflect the current status of appendices to the license,
  • removing an amendment issuance date from the "Implementation Date" column of Appendices C and D to the Unit 1 and Unit 2 licenses, respectively,
  • modifying Example 1.4-3 in Section 1.4 to adopt a portion of Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF) 475-A, Revision 1, Control Rod Notch Testing Frequency and SRM Insert Control Rod Action, and

" eliminating Surveillance Requirement 3.3.2.9 from Function 2.b(2), Containment Spray Systems - Recirculation Spray - Containment Pressure High-High, in Table 3.3.2-1.

2.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION The proposed Operating License changes are provided in Attachments 1 and 2 for Units 1 and 2, respectively. The proposed Technical Specification changes are provided in Attachment 3. There are no Technical Specification Bases changes required for the submittal. Retyped Operating License pages are provided in Attachments 4 and 5 for Units 1 and 2, respectively. Retyped Technical Specification pages are provided in Attachment 6. The retyped pages are provided for readability and are labeled as "Unofficial" because the license amendments have not been issued and other BVPS amendments are expected to be issued prior to the issuance of the amendments requested by this License Amendment Request (LAR).

The proposed changes to the Operating Licenses and the Technical Specifications have been prepared electronically. Deletions are shown with a strike-through and insertions are shown double-underlined. This presentation allows the reviewer to readily identify the information that has been deleted and added.

To meet format requirements the Operating Licenses, Index and Technical Specification pages will be revised and repaginated as necessary to reflect the changes being proposed by this LAR.

Beaver Valley Power Station Units 1 and 2 License Amendment Request No.08-008 Page 2 of 12 The following describes the changes proposed in this LAR. The technical evaluation justifying these changes is provided in Section 3.0 of this submittal.

Operating License Changes A unit designator is being added to the Operating License pages for each unit. The pages are renumbered to be in sequence and modified to uniquely identify each unit.

The list of enclosures in the Unit 2 license is being updated to reflect the current status of license appendices to the license. The Unit 1 License Condition associated with Amendment 208 and Exemption 3, which is applicable to Unit 2, are being deleted.

License Conditions associated with Amendments 281 and 163 are being revised to remove a February 15, 2008 amendment issuance date from the "Implementation Date" column of Appendices C and D for Unit 1 and Unit 2, respectively.

The list of enclosures in the Unit 2 license is being updated by adding Appendix D to the list of enclosures because it was not added when Appendix D was originally created.

Section 1.4 Change Section 1.4, Example 1.4-3 is modified by inserting "(plus the extension allowed by SR 3.0.2)" in two locations.

Surveillance Requirement 3.3.2.9 Change Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.3.2.9 is being deleted from Function 2.b(2),

Containment Spray Systems - Recirculation Spray - Containment Pressure High-High, in Technical Specification Table 3.3.2-1.

3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION

Operating License Changes With the conversion of the BVPS Technical Specifications to the Improved Technical Specifications (ITS) by Unit 1 Amendment 278 and Unit 2 Amendment 161 (Reference 1), the Operating Licenses, Technical Specifications, andTechnical Specification Bases all appear in one book. The addition of a unit designator to each Operating License page will more readily distinguish between pages applicable to each of the units. In addition, renumbering of the Operating License and Appendix pages will result in unique page identification.

The Unit 1 steam generators have been replaced with Model 54F steam generators.

The steam generator replacement was approved by Unit 1 Amendment 273 (Reference 2). The resulting (current) Unit 1 Technical Specifications do not permit sleeving of steam generator tubes. Therefore, the conditions under which the License Condition incorporated by Amendment 208 would be implemented (perform the post weld heat treatment of sleeve welds and the NRC-recommended inspections for repaired tubes as described in the licensee's application dated March 10, 1997, as supplemented by July 28 and September 17, 1997 correspondence, and evaluated in the staffs safety evaluation attached to Amendment 208) no longer exist and the

Beaver Valley Power Station Units 1 and 2 License Amendment Request No.08-008 Page 3 of 12 License Condition is extraneous. If sleeving was to be used in the future, it would be necessary to obtain a suitable license amendment, including license conditions if appropriate, at that time.

The exemption to 10 CFR 70.24 (Exemption 3) was issued prior to the allowance for boron credit. Credit for the presence of soluble boron is allowed only under 10 CFR 50.68. The NRC Safety Evaluation for Unit 2 Amendment 156 (Reference 3),

Extended Power Uprate, documents that BVPS is committed to 10 CFR 50.68 as part of the unit's licensing basis. As a result, the exemption to 10 CFR 70.24 (Exemption 3) regarding criticality alarms for stored fuel is no longer applicable or required in the Unit 2 Operating License.

License Conditions associated with Amendments 281 and 163 are being revised to remove a February 15, 2008 amendment issuance date from the "Implementation Date" column of Appendices C and D for Unit 1 and Unit 2, respectively. The issuance date is unnecessary because it is specified in the letters that granted the amendments. It is being removed because it gives the appearance of a conflict with other information in the "Implementation Date" column that states that the amendments shall be implemented within 120 days from date of issuance. The resulting license conditions will be consistent with the implementation date specified in the letters that granted the amendments.

All of the proposed changes to the Operating License pages are considered editorial or administrative in nature.

Section 1.4 Change A portion of TSTF-475-A, Revision 1 (Reference 4) involves the insertion of "(plus the extension allowed by SR 3.0.2)" into Example 1.4-3. The insertion provides clarification that the extension allowed by Surveillance Requirements 3.0.2 applies to Notes associated with surveillance requirements as well as the surveillance requirements.

This proposed change makes it clear that the 25 percent extension provision in SR 3.0.2 is equally applicable to time periods specified in the "FREQUENCY" column and in Notes in the "SURVEILLANCE" column. This change is intended to achieve consistency with the definition of "specified Frequency" provided in the second paragraph of Section 1.4. This paragraph states:

"The "specified Frequency" is referred to throughout this section and each of the Specifications of Section 3.0.2, Surveillance Requirement (SR) Applicability. The "specified Frequency" consists of the requirements of the Frequency column of each SR, as well as certain Notes in the Surveillance column that modify performance requirements."

As made clear in the second sentence above, the "specified Frequency" includes time periods discussed in Notes in the "Surveillance" column, in addition to time periods listed in the "Frequency" column. Therefore, the provisions of SR 3.0.2 (which permit a

Beaver Valley Power Station Units 1 and 2 License Amendment Request No.08-008 Page 4 of 12 25% grace period to facilitate surveillance scheduling and avoid plant operating conditions that may not be suitable for conducting the test) also apply to the time periods listed in Notes in the "SURVEILLANCE" column. This is because SR 3.0.2 states "The specified Frequency for each SR is met if the Surveillance is performed within 1.25 times the interval specified...".

Therefore, Example 1.4-3 is to be revised to be consistent with the above statements.

The Example currently explicitly recognizes that the 25% extension allowed by SR 3.0.2 is applicable to the time period listed in the "FREQUENCY" column, but it does not explicitly recognize that the SR 3.0.2 extension is applicable to the time period listed in the Note in the "SURVEILLANCE" column. The change to the Example provides this explicit recognition by copying the phrase "(plus the extension allowed by SR 3.0.2)" in two additional portions of the discussion for this example.

Surveillance Requirement 3.3.2.9 Change Surveillance Requirement 3.3.2.9 is being deleted from Function 2.b(2), Containment Spray Systems - Recirculation Spray - Containment Pressure High-High, in Table 3.3.2-1 because the potential variation in the measurable response time has an insignificant effect on the results of the applicable safety analysis. The surveillance requirement as it pertains to Function 2.b(2) was introduced into the BVPS Technical Specifications by Amendments 280 and 164 (References 5 and 6). Amendments 280 (Unit 1) and 164 (Unit 2) split Function 2, Containment Spray, into Function 2.a, Containment Spray Systems - Quench Spray, and Function 2.b, Containment Spray Systems - Recirculation Spray. Each of these Functions, along with Function 3.b, Containment Isolation - Phase B Isolation, receives Containment Pressure High-High as an initiating signal. The change made by Amendments 280 and 164 are the result of changing how the recirculation spray pumps are started. Prior to the amendment, the recirculation spray pumps were started by a timer that was started upon receipt of a Containment Pressure High-High signal. With the implementation of the subject amendments the pumps are now started following receipt of a coincident Containment Pressure High-High/Refueling Water Storage Tank (RWST) Level Low signal.

Included in Table 3.3.2-1 are the surveillance requirements that must be met to demonstrate operability of initiating signals. For the Containment Pressure High-High signal, four surveillance requirements are listed as applicable. Surveillance Requirement 3.3.2.1 is a Channel Check. Surveillance Requirement 3.3.2.4 is a Channel Operational Test. Surveillance Requirement 3.3.2.8 is a Channel Calibration.

Surveillance Requirement 3.3.2.9 is a response time verification. Surveillance Requirements 3.3.2.1, 3.3.2.4 and 3.3.2.8 are clearly applicable to any Function that has Containment Pressure High-High as an initiating signal, because these surveillance requirements are verifying the operability of the Containment Pressure High-High instrumentation channel itself. However, Surveillance Requirement 3.3.2.9 is not appropriate for all Functions for which Containment Pressure High-High is an initiating signal. The following explains why Surveillance Requirement 3.3.2.9 is applicable to Function 2.a, Containment Spray Systems - Quench Spray, and Function 3.b,

Beaver Valley Power Station Units 1 and 2 License Amendment Request No.08-008 Page 5 of 12 Containment Isolation - Phase B Isolation, but not necessary for Function 2.b, Containment Spray Systems - Recirculation Spray.

For Function 2.a, Containment Spray Systems - Quench Spray, the response time being verified by Surveillance Requirement 3.3.2.9 is the time associated with starting the quench spray pumps. This time appears in the Licensing Requirements Manual (LRM) for each unit. This equipment response time is a critical assumption of the applicable safety analysis. The analyzed performance of the quench spray system is dependent upon the quench spray pumps starting and delivering flow to the spray nozzles within the time period specified in each unit's LRM.

For Function 3.b, Containment Isolation - Phase B Isolation, the response time being verified by Surveillance Requirement 3.3.2.9 is the time associated with Control Room Ventilation Isolation (on Containment Isolation-Phase B). This time appears in the LRM for each unit. This response time is an assumption of the applicable safety analysis because the dose to the control room occupants assumes the control room is isolated within the time period specified in each unit's LRM.

For Function 2.b, Containment Spray Systems - Recirculation Spray, the response time being verified by Surveillance Requirement 3.3.2.9 is the time associated with starting the recirculation spray pumps. However, the response time for the recirculation spray pumps is shown as Not Applicable in the LRM for each unit. This is because the potential variation in the measurable response time has an insignificant effect on the results of the applicable safety analysis. The reason for this is provided in the following paragraphs.

The Technical Specifications define Engineered Safety Features (ESF) response time as that time interval from when the monitored parameter exceeds its actuation setpoint at the channel sensor until the ESF equipment is capable of performing its safety function (i.e., the valves travel to their required positions, pump discharge pressures reach their required values, etc.). For the recirculation spray system the time interval is from when the monitored parameters (containment pressure and refueling water storage tank level) exceed their setpoints to when the recirculation spray flow begins exiting the spray nozzles. This includes the time it takes for the pumps to start.

The recirculation spray system provides two primary functions. These are to provide containment spray in conjunction with the quench spray system to reduce containment temperature and pressure and to provide for long term heat removal via the recirculation spray heat exchangers following a Design Basis Accident (DBA). The recirculation spray system is actuated automatically by a containment high-high pressure signal coincident with a refueling water storage tank (RWST) low level signal. This initiation logic ensures that adequate water is contained in the containment sump to submerge the sump strainers and provide adequate net positive suction head (NPSH) to the recirculation spray pumps. Based on the containment analysis, the earliest time that the initiation conditions will be reached is approximately 19 minutes for Unit 1 and 39 minutes for Unit 2, following the initiating event.

Beaver Valley Power Station Units 1 and 2 License Amendment Request No.08-008 Page 6 of 12 The total system response time includes the time required for initiation conditions to be reached, the signal delay times, a time for the recirculation spray pumps to produce rated flow and head, and the time required to fill the recirculation spray system piping following pump start. Assuming the recirculation spray system is dry prior to initiation, calculations have shown a maximum system fill time of 65 seconds for Unit 1 and 77 seconds for Unit 2. Therefore, the total system response time from the start of an event is a minimum of approximately 20 minutes (19 minutes + 65 seconds) for Unit 1 and 40 minutes (39 minutes + 77 seconds) for Unit 2. This value is based on maximum safeguards conditions with a large break loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) and would be longer for minimum safeguards and smaller break sizes. Of the total system response time, a minimum of 20 minutes for Unit 1 or 40 minutes for Unit 2, the time required for the signal response and pump start is short (several seconds) and thus, insignificant when compared to the total system response time.

The only portions of the total system response time for the recirculation spray system that are capable of being directly measured are the signal delay and pump start times.

This is because the piping fill time cannot be measured without risk of damage to plant systems, structures and components due to containment spray. The system initiation time is calculated as a function of the RWST drawdown rate which is specific to the accident scenario. The potential variation in the measured recirculation spray response time following initiation is limited by the variation in the signal response and pump start times. This potential variation is very small (several seconds) in comparison to the minimum overall system response time of approximately 20 (Unit 1) or 40 (Unit 2) minutes.

A sensitivity evaluation was performed for BVPS Unit 1 in which the recirculation spray system response time was varied. For BVPS Unit 2, potential variations would have an even less significant effect since the initiation time is longer. The evaluation demonstrated that the measurable system response time could be increased by a substantial amount as compared to normal performance before results are significantly affected. A substantial increase in signal delay and/or pump start time, although not specifically measured, would be evident as a failure during normal functional testing.

This indicates that a variation in the measurable response time for the start of recirculation spray pumps up to a point where failure would be evident is not critical to the success of the safety analysis and is therefore not a critical assumption in the analysis. Therefore, there is no need for a surveillance requirement to verify a response time for the recirculation spray pumps in the Technical Specifications.

The performance of the recirculation spray pumps and their ability to start upon demand are verified by other surveillance requirements. Surveillance Requirement 3.6.7.2 verifies that the recirculation spray pump's developed head is greater than or equal to what is required, and Surveillance Requirement 3.6.7.3 verifies that each pump starts on an actual or simulated signal. A channel operational test (Surveillance Requirement 3.3.2.4) and a channel calibration (Surveillance Requirement 3.3.2.8) are required for both the containment pressure high high signal and the RWST level low signal.

Beaver Valley Power Station Units 1 and 2 License Amendment Request No.08-008 Page 7 of 12 Therefore, based on the surveillance requirements that verify the recirculation spray pumps start, develop the required head, and because a response time is not required in the safety analysis, Surveillance Requirement 3.3.2.9 can be deleted from Function 2.b(2), Containment Spray Systems - Recirculation Spray - Containment Pressure High-High, in Table 3.3.2-1.

4.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION

The proposed changes would revise the Beaver Valley Power Station (BVPS) Units 1 and 2 Operating Licenses and Technical Specifications by:

" adding a unit designator to the Operating License pages, renumbering the pages and deleting an obsolete License Condition and Exemption,

" updating the list of enclosures in the Unit 2 license to reflect the current status of appendices to the license,

  • modifying Example 1.4-3 in Section 1.4 to adopt a portion of Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF) 475-A, Revision 1, Control Rod Notch Testing Frequency and SRM Insert Control Rod Action, and

" eliminating Surveillance Requirement 3.3.2.9 from Function 2.b(2), Containment Spray Systems - Recirculation Spray - Containment Pressure High-High, in Table 3.3.2-1.

The changes to the Operating License pages are editorial or administrative that will (1) permit unique and unit-specific page identification, (2) update the list of enclosures in the Unit 2 license to reflect the current status of appendices to the license, (3) remove a condition and an exemption that are no longer applicable, and (4) remove a February 15, 2008 amendment issuance date from the "Implementation Date" column of Appendices C and D for Unit 1 and Unit 2, respectively. The change to Example 1.4-3 is being made for clarification and consistency. The surveillance requirement to verify a response time for the recirculation spray pumps is being eliminated because the potential variation in the measurable response time has an insignificant effect on the results of the applicable analyses.

4.1 Significant Hazards Consideration FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC) has evaluated whether or not a significant hazards consideration is involved with the proposed amendments by focusing on the three standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92, "Issuance of amendment," as discussed below:

Beaver Valley Power Station Units 1 and 2 License Amendment Request No.08-008 Page 8 of 12

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

Response: No.

The proposed changes to the Operating License pages and Example 1.4-1 are editorial changes that do not have any effect on equipment or plant operation. Therefore, these proposed changes will not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

The elimination of the requirement to verify a response time for the recirculation spray pumps will not affect the operation of the pumps and will not impact the applicable safety analyses because the potential variation in the measurable response time has an insignificant effect on the results of the applicable safety analyses. The recirculation spray system is an accident mitigation system, so no new accident initiators are created by the elimination of the subject surveillance requirement. Thus eliminating the surveillance requirement will not result in a significant increase in the probability of an accident previously evaluated. The elimination of the subject surveillance requirement will not impact the accident mitigation function of the recirculation spray system because the pump response time is not a critical safety analyses assumption due to the fact that the potential variation in the measurable response time has an insignificant effect on the analysis. Since the post-accident performance of the recirculation spray system is not changed by eliminating the requirement to verify a response time for the pumps, the proposed change will not involve a significant increase in consequences of an accident previously evaluated. Therefore, the elimination of the surveillance requirement will not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

Therefore, the proposed changes do not involve a significant increase in 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.

The proposed changes to the Operating License pages and Example 1.4-1 are editorial changes that do not have any effect on equipment or plant operation. Therefore, these proposed changes will not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

Beaver Valley Power Station Units 1 and 2 License Amendment Request No.08-008 Page 9 of 12 The elimination of the surveillance requirement to verify a response time for the recirculation spray pumps will not affect the operation of the pumps. The pumps will continue to perform in the same manner after the elimination of the surveillance requirement as they do with the surveillance requirement. Therefore, the elimination of the surveillance requirement will not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

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

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

Response: No.

The proposed changes to the Operating License pages and Example 1.4-1 are editorial changes that do not have any effect on equipment or plant operation. Therefore, these proposed changes will not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

The elimination of the surveillance requirement to verify a response time for the recirculation spray pumps is consistent with the applicable safety analysis since a response time for the pumps is not an analysis assumption. As a result the existing margin of safety is not impacted.

Therefore, the elimination of the surveillance requirement will not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

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

Based on the above, FENOC concludes that the proposed amendments do 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.

4.2 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria A review of 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, "General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants" and the Regulatory Guides, was conducted to assess the potential impact associated with the proposed changes. The General Design Criteria (GDC) and the Regulatory Guides (RG) were evaluated as follows:

General Design Criterion 38, with respect to the recirculation spray system.

General Design Criterion 39, with respect to permitting periodic inspection of the recirculation spray system.

Beaver Valley Power Station Units 1 and 2 License Amendment Request No.08-008 Page 10 of 12 General Design Criterion 40, with respect to permitting periodic testing of the recirculation spray system.

Regulatory Guide 1.1, as it relates to the NPSH available to the recirculation spray system pumps.

Regulatory Guide 1.26, "Quality Group Classifications and Standards," as it relates to quality group standards for the recirculation spray system.

Regulatory Guide 1.29, "Seismic Design Classification," as it relates to seismic classification of the recirculation spray system.

Assessment No change to either unit's Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) description of conformance to the GDCs or the listed Regulatory Guides is required as a result of the changes proposed in this LAR.

4.3 Precedent There is no precedent for the proposed changes to the Operating Licenses and the elimination of the surveillance requirement for the recirculation spray pumps because these are unique to BVPS.

As of June 2008, LARs seeking adoption of TSTF-475-A, Revision 1, have been submitted for Duane Arnold, Fermi Unit 2, Vermont Yankee, FitzPatrick, Monticello, Clinton Unit 1, Dresden Units 1 and 2, LaSalle Units 1 and 2, Oyster Creek, Peach Bottom Units 2 and 3 and Quad Cities Units 1 and 2 (References 7 through 12). All of these submittals included the change to Example 1.4-3 except Vermont Yankee, which has not converted to the Improved Technical Specifications. These submittals were made during the December 2007 to June 2008 time period. The change to Example 1.4-1 being proposed for BVPS' does not differ from what is contained in the approved TSTF or the applicable submittals listed as precedent.

4.4 Conclusions 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 operation in the proposed manner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

A review has determined that the proposed amendments would change a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area, as defined in 10,CFR 20, or would change an inspection or surveillance requirement. However, the proposed amendments do not involve (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) a significant change in the types or 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 amendments meet the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 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 amendments.

D. Exemptions The following exemptions are authorized by law and will not endanger life or property or the common defense and security, and certain special circumstances are present. With the granting of these exemptions, the facility will operate, to the extent authorized herein, in conformity with the application, as amended, the provisions of the Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission.

(1) The facility requires an exemption from the requirements of General Design Criterion (GDC) 4, Appendix A to 10 CFR 50. The staff has described in detail in Supplement 4 and Supplement 5 to the Safety Evaluation Report the technical basis and "special circumstances" associated with this exemption. The staffs environmental assessment was published on March 27, 1987 (52 FR 9979). Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12(a)(1), 10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(ii) and (iv), Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit 2 is exempt from the requirements of GDC 4, Appendix A to 10 CFR 50 with respect to the dynamic loading effects associated with the postulated pipe breaks described in detail in Section 3.6.3 of Supplement 4 to the Safety Evaluation Report. These dynamic loading effects include pipe whip, jet impingement, and break-associated dynamic transients.

Specifically, this eliminates the need to install jet impingement barriers and pipe whip restraints associated with postulated pipe breaks in the pressurizer surge line, reactor coolant bypass system, Beaver Valley Unit 2 Amendment No. TBD-1 Reisl by, ottp rda June 27, 2007

safety injection system, and residual heat removal system. This exemption will expire when the current GDC 4 rulemaking changes have been completed.

(2) The facility requires an exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, Section III.D.2(b)(ii). The justification of this exemption is contained in Section 6.2.6 of Supplement 5 to the Safety Evaluation Report and modified by a letter dated July 26, 1995. The staffs environmental assessment was published on May 12, 1987 (52 FR 17651) and on June 9, 1995 (60 FR 30611). Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12(a)(1) and 10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(ii) and (iii), Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit 2 is exempt from the quoted requirements and instead, is required to perform the overall air lock leak test at pressure Pa before establishing containment integrity if air lock maintenance has been performed that could affect the air lock sealing capability. Local leak rate testing at a pressure of not less than Pa may be substituted for an overall air lock test where the design permits.

(3) The facility was preiously granted an exemption fero* the criticality alarm requirements of 10-CER 70.24 (see License No. SNMA- 19514) dated Apri 9, 1986, which granted this exemption).

1.0 Obiectives of the Environmental Protection Plan The Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) is to provide for protection of nonradiological environmental values during operation of the Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit 2 (facility). The principal objectives of the EPP are as follows:

(1) Verify that the facility is operated in an environmentally acceptable manner, as established by the Final Environmental Statement - Operating License Stage (FES-OL) and other NRC environmental impact assessments.

(2) Coordinate NRC requirements and maintain consistency with other Federal, State, and local requirements for environmental protection.

(3) Keep NRC informed of the environmental effects of facility construction and operation and of actions taken to control those effects.

Environmental concerns identified in the FES-OL (September 1985, NUREG-1094) which relate to water quality matters are regulated by way of the licensee's* NPDES permit.

2.0 Environmental Protection Issues In the FES-OL (NUREG-1094, September 1985), the staff considered the environmental impacts associated with the operation of the Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit 2. No aquatic/water quality, terrestrial, or noise issues were identified.

3.0 Consistency Requirements 3.1 Plant Design and Operation The licensee may make changes in station design or operation or perform tests or experiments affecting the environment provided such activities do not involve an unreviewed environmental question and do not involve a change in the EPP*. Changes in station design or operation or performance of tests or experiments which do not affect the environment are not subject to the requirements of this EPP. Activities governed by Section 3.3 are not subject to the requirements of this Section.

Before engaging in additional construction or operational activities which may significantly affect the environment, the licensee shall prepare and record an environmental evaluation of such activity. Activities are excluded from this requirement if all measurable nonradiological environmental effects are confined to the on-site areas previously disturbed during site preparation and plant construction. When the evaluation indicates that such activity involves an unreviewed environmental question, the licensee shall provide a written evaluation of such activity and obtain prior NRC approval. Such activity and change to the EPP may be implemented only in accordance with an appropriate license amendment as set forth in Section 5.3 of this EPP.

  • "Licensee" refers to FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company, operator of the facility, and acting as agent for FirstEnergy Nuclear Generation Corp., Ohio Edison Company, and The Toledo Edison Company, owners or lessees of the facility.

Beaver Vallev Unit 2 B-1 Amendment Aenmet No. !BD4.54 o.TB4i I Beve Vlly ni 2B-

A proposed change, test, or experiment shall be deemed to involve an unreviewed environmental question if it concerns: (1) a matter which may result in a significant increase in any adverse environmental impact previously evaluated in the FES-OL, environmental impact appraisals, or in any decisions of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board; or (2) a significant change in effluents or power level; or (3) a matter, not previously reviewed and evaluated in the documents specified in (1) of this Subsection, which may have a significant adverse environmental impact.

The licensee shall maintain records of changes in facility design or operation and of tests and experiments carried out pursuant to this Subsection. These records shall include written evaluations which provide bases for the determination that the change, test, or experiment does not involve an unreviewed environmental question or constitute a decrease in the effectiveness of this EPP to meet the objectives specified in Section 1.0. The licensee shall include as part of the Annual Environmental Operating Report (per Subsection 5.4.1) brief descriptions, analyses, interpretations, and evaluations of such changes, tests, and experiments.

3.2 Reporting Related to the NPDES Permit and State Certification Changes to, or renewals of, the NPDES Permit or the State certification shall be reported to the NRC within 30 days following the date the change or renewal is approved. If a permit or certification, in part or in its entirety, is appealed and stayed, the NRC shall be notified within 30 days following the date the stay is granted.

The licensee shall notify the NRC of changes to the effective NPDES Permit proposed by the licensee by providing NRC with a copy of the proposed change at the same time it is submitted to the permitting agency. The licensee shall provide the NRC a copy of the application for renewal of the NPDES Permit at the same time the application is submitted to the permitting agency.

3.3 Changes Required for Compliance with Other Environmental Regulators Changes in plant design or operation and performance of tests or experiments which are required to achieve compliance with other Federal, State, and local environmental regulations are not subject to the requirements of Section 3.1.

4.0 Environmental Conditions 4.1 Unusual or Important Environmental Events Any occurrence of an unusual or important event that indicates or could result in significant environmental impact causally related to plant operation shall be recorded and reported to the NRC within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> followed by a written report per Subsection 5.4.2 of the EPP.

  • This provision does not relieve the licensee of the requirements of 10 CFR 50.59.

Frequency No change. Page included for context only. 1.4 1.0 USE AND APPLICATION 1.4 Frequency PURPOSE The purpose of this section is to define the proper use and application of Frequency requirements.

DESCRIPTION Each Surveillance Requirement (SR) has a specified Frequency in which the Surveillance must be met in order to meet the associated LCO. An understanding of the correct application of the specified Frequency is necessary for compliance with the SR.

The "specified Frequency" is referred to throughout this section and each of the Specifications of Section 3.0.2, Surveillance Requirement (SR)

Applicability. The "specified Frequency" consists of the requirements of the Frequency column of each SR as well as certain Notes in the Surveillance column that modify performance requirements.

Sometimes special situations dictate when the requirements of a Surveillance are to be met. They are "otherwise stated" conditions allowed by SR 3.0.1. They may be stated as clarifying Notes in the Surveillance, as part of the Surveillance or both.

Situations where a Surveillance could be required (i.e., its Frequency could expire), but where it is not possible or not desired that it be performed until sometime after the associated LCO is within its Applicability, represent potential SR 3.0.4 conflicts. To avoid these conflicts, the SR (i.e., the Surveillance or the Frequency) is stated such that it is only "required" when it can be and should be performed. With an SR satisfied, SR 3.0.4 imposes no restriction.

The use of "met" or "performed" in these instances conveys specific meanings. A Surveillance is "met" only when the acceptance criteria are satisfied. Known failure of the requirements of a Surveillance, even without a Surveillance specifically being "performed," constitutes a Surveillance not "met." "Performance" refers only to the requirement to specifically determine the ability to meet the acceptance criteria.

Some Surveillances contain notes that modify the Frequency of performance or the conditions during which the acceptance criteria must be satisfied. For these Surveillances, the MODE-entry restrictions of SR 3.0.4 may not apply. Such a Surveillance is not required to be performed prior to entering a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability of the associated LCO if any of the following three conditions are satisfied:

Frequency No change. Page included for context only. 1.4 1.4 Frequency DESCRIPTION (continued)

a. The Surveillance is not required to be met in the MODE or other specified condition to be entered, or
b. The Surveillance is required to be met in the MODE or other specified condition to be entered, but has been performed within the specified Frequency (i.e., it is current) and is known not to be failed, or
c. The Surveillance is required to be met, but not performed, in the MODE or other specified condition to be entered, and is known not to be failed.

Examples 1.4-3, 1.4-4, 1.4-5, and 1.4-6 discuss these special situations.

EXAMPLES The following examples illustrate the various ways that Frequencies are specified. In these examples, the Applicability of the LCO (LCO not shown) is MODES 1, 2, and 3.

The Surveillance is still considered to be performed within the "specified Frequency." Therefore, if the Surveillance were not performed within the 7 day (plus the extension allowed by SR 3.0.2) interval, but operation was

< 25% RTP, it would not constitute a failure of the SR or failure to meet the LCO. Also, no violation of SR 3.0.4 occurs when changing MODES, even with the 7 day Frequency not met, provided operation does not exceed 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> (plus the extension allowed by SR 3.0,2' with power

> 25% RTP.

Once the unit reaches 25% RTP, 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> would be allowed for completing the Surveillance. If the Surveillance were not performed within this 12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> interval (plus the extension allowed by SR 3.0.2), there would then be a failure to perform a Surveillance within the specified Frequency, and the provisions of SR 3.0.3 would apply.

Also, no violation of SR 3.0.4 occurs when changing MODES, even, with the 7 day Frequency not met, provided operation does not exceed 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> (plus the extension allowed by SR 3.0.2) with power

Once the unit reaches 25% RTP, 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> would be allowed for completing the Surveillance. If the Surveillance were not performed within this 12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> interval (plus the extension allowed by SR 3.0.2), there would then be a failure to perform a Surveillance within the specified Frequency, and the provisions of SR 3.0.3 would apply.
