(ADAMS Accession No. ML12307A036)
Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, the Northern States Power Company, a Minnesota corporation (NSPM), doing business as Xcel Energy, requested in Reference 1 an amendment to the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant (MNGP) Renewed Operating License (OL) and Technical Specifications (TS) to increase the maximum authorized power level from 1775 megawatts thermal (MWt) to 2004 MWt. This is also known as an extended power uprate (EPU).
Also pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, NSPM requested in Reference 2 an amendment to the MNGP Renewed OL and TS to allow operation within the Maximum Extended Load Line Limit Analysis Plus (MELLLA+) operating domain.
On November 20, 2012, NSPM presented to the NRC the results of a Gap Analysis performed to verify the adequacy of the EPU documentation. Due to the delay in review of the MNGP EPU License Amendment Request (LAR), the NRC was concerned that various aspects of the NRC review were no longer applicable. Through the Gap Analysis review NSPM demonstrated that a small set of technical issues required revision and some design and licensing bases information had changed, but overall the body of EPU documentation was correct with the exception of the issues identified for correction. In Reference 3 NSPM provided to the NRC the results of many of the identified gaps and the associated corrections to EPU documentation.
In Reference 4, the Reactor Systems Branch of the NRC sent requests for additional information (RAI) concerning the letter sent by NSPM in Reference 3.
Document Control Desk Page 3 In Reference 5, the Containment and Ventilation Branch of the NRC sent a RAI concerning the letter sent in Reference 7. Enclosure 4 to this letter provides the NSPM response to the NRC RAI in Reference 5. , Part A, to this letter provides the NSPM response to the NRC RAI 1 from Reference 4. Question 6 will be addressed under a separate letter. In addition, , Part B, also contains responses to RAIs 1 - 4 from Reference 6. to this letter is General Electric-Hitachi (GEH) letter GE-MNGP-AEP-3284, which provides responses to NRC RAIs 2 - 5 from Reference 4 and RAI 10(b) from Reference 5. provides supplemental information in the form of a revised calculation to support the Automatic Depressurization System (ADS) bypass timer TS change for the EPU LAR. NSPM described the ADS bypass timer TS change in letters L-MT-12-091 (Reference 9) and L-MT-13-019 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13037A200). NSPM discovered an error in calculation 03-036, Revision 1, and notified the NRC of the error in a telephone conference call on April 5, 2013. More details concerning the calculation change are included in Enclosure 3 including calculation 03-036, Revision 2 which corrects the error.
The RAI responses and supplemental information provided herein do not change the conclusions of the No Significant Hazards Consideration and the Environmental Consideration evaluations provided in Reference 1 as revised by References 8 and 9 for the Extended Power Uprate LAR. Further, the RAI responses and supplemental information provided herein do not change the conclusions of the No Significant Hazards Consideration and the Environmental Consideration evaluations provided in Reference 2 for the MELLLA+ LAR.
In accordance with 10 CFR 50.91(b), a copy of this application supplement, without enclosures is being provided to the designated Minnesota Official.

PART A - Reactor Systems Branch RAI dated March 28, 2013 This section covers question 1 of the March 28, 2013 RAIs. Responses to questions 2
- 5 of the March 28, 2013 RAIs are provided in Enclosure 2. Question 6 will be addressed under a separate letter.
The NRC question is provided below in italics font and the NSPM response is provided in the normal font.
NRC Question
- 1. Page 16 of Enclosure I to the January21, 2013, letter (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML13039A200) discusses Item 8 of the Extended Power Uprate (EPU) Gap Analysis, concerning emergency core cooling system (ECCS) pump flow rates. The response refers to additionalcorrespondence (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML12276A057 and Page 1 of 5
L-MT-13-035 Enclosure I ML12276A057) which, based on cursory review, appearto indicate that some assumptions and analyses credit revised ECCS pump flow rates that remain bounded by the SAFER ECCS evaluation.
Please confirm that the SAFER ECCS evaluation includes ECCS pump flow rates that are bounding of these revised ECCS pump flow rate assumptions.
NSPM Response:
NSPM provided Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) pump flow rates used for the Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) Containment Accident Pressure (CAP) evaluation of the Design Basis Accident - Loss of Coolant Accident (DBA-LOCA) in L-MT-12-082 (Reference A-i) Tables 6.6.1-1 and 6.6.1-2. These flow rates were selected based on meeting SECY 11-0014, Enclosure 1, section 6.3.6 requirement that:
"The flow rate chosen for the NPSHa analysis should be greaterthan or equal to the flow rate assumed in the safety analyses that demonstrate adequate core and containment cooling. This ensures that the safety analysis and the NPSH analysis are consistent."
Thus the NPSHa flow rate values selected bound the safety analysis flow rate values used in L-MT-08-052 (Reference A-2), Enclosure 5, section 2.8.5.6.2.
The SAFER ECCS evaluation ECCS pump flow rates for flow delivered to the core are unchanged. The changes shown account for changes in pump flow due to the NPSH evaluation required by SECY 11-0014. Flow rates assumed for the NPSH evaluation are greater than or equal to the flow rates required for the SAFER ECCS evaluation (ie they are bounding).

L-MT-13-035 PART B - Mechanical and Civil Branch RAIs dated May 10, 2013 This section covers responses to questions 1 -4 of the May 10, 2013 RAIs. The NRC question is provided below in italics font and the NSPM response is provided in the normal font.
NRC Question
- 1. With regard to condensate/feedwatermodification, letter L-MT- 12-114, Enclosure 1, page 56/80, Item 26, indicates that a "Complete discussion regardingjet impingement and pipe whip" were requested by the NRC.
Page 62/80 states that piping evaluations resulted in "a new limiting (for flooding) postulated 14"-line crack at the inlet to the 14 feedwater heater." Also, "The new crack did not result in any new jet impingement or pipe whip targets." Page 62/80 shows that "Pipewhip and jet impingement analyses are pending for the Condensate pump, Feedwaterpump, and piping replacement modifications."
If the statement above regardingpipe-whip and jet-impingement is accurate (i.e.,
analyses are still pending), then it will need to be discussed with the licensee.
NSPM Response The condensate pump, feedwater pump and piping replacements refer to modification work that is currently being installed in MNGP. In the statements above the use of the word "pending" was intended to clarify that the final as-built condition verification of calculation accuracy is pending until the completion of installation activities. Analyses related to design changes are approved and the new crack did not result in any new jet impingement or pipe whip targets.
To clarify our response, see Appendix A for revised pages from L-MT-12-114 (Reference B-i), Enclosure 2, Item 26 that provide clarifying information.
NRC Request
- 2. If the initial information in PUSAR regarding the paragraphthat discusses the 90%
and 63% of the RWCU HELB M&E releases is no longer accurate and has been deleted in the revised pages of the PUSAR, then the mark-up or revision to RAI-6(a)
Response needs to reflect that. As it currently exists in the submittal, it indicates that a question has been asked for the 90% and 63% increases and that an answer has not been provided.
NSPM Response Although the 90% and 63% increase noted did refer to EPU, those values have been superseded with subsequent mass and energy release values that incorporated Page 3 of 5
L-MT-13-035 enhanced characterization of actual releases. For RWCU the CLTP analysis was based on a single bounding break assumption. Whereas, the EPU analysis included consideration of multiple analyses for required break locations that included consideration of improved analysis assumptions such as double ended break flows and system depletions.
If both CLTP and EPU HELB cases were run using similar analysis assumptions, the changes in mass and energy releases would be minor as a result of EPU. The minor impact on mass and energy releases is supported by the fact that there were no significant piping changes in RWCU and process temperatures only change by 0.5 0 F between CLTP and the constant pressure EPU. The results of the HELB calculations for RWCU included both improved analysis assumptions and EPU conditions. The results of these calculations were tabulated by volume and provided in Tables 26-1 and 26-2 of Reference B-I.
To clarify our response, see Appendix A for revised pages from L-MT-12-114 (Reference B-i), Enclosure 2, Item 26 that provide clarifying information.
NRC Request
- 3. Tables 26-1 and 26-2 contain data for HELB flood levels, HELB temperaturesand HELB pressures which show increases at EPU conditions compared to CLTP. The licensee needs to evaluate these data for the increases shown and determine whether the impacted SSCs are structurally adequate to perform their intended design functions for the increases in differentialpressures, temperaturesand flooding levels.
NSPM Response Each HELB analysis evaluated flood levels to verify no acceptance criteria were exceeded. Volume (room) temperature limits were verified accordingly. Pressure differentials across walls (block walls are most limiting) were also confirmed against established wall specific limits. The Table 26-1 and 26-2 (from Reference B-1) HELB analysis parameters for building volume flooding, temperature and pressure are all acceptable, and meet corresponding structural limits.
NRC Request
- 4. In the old response (2009 era) to RAI-6(b), NSPM stated that these parameterswere evaluated for plant areas and structures. At that time, though, the HELB analyses and modifications were incomplete. Now that they are completed, the licensee has shown how these parametershave increased for EPU. If the effects of the increasesin these parametershave been evaluated and shown to be acceptable, that is fine. The licensee needs to make that statement, since the staff does not make those determinations.
Page 4 of 5
L-MT-13-035 NSPM Response The response to RAI 6(b) in L-MT-09-044 (Reference B-2) stated that HELB analysis output parameters evaluated acceptably for plant areas and structures. Upon completion of all HELB analyses associated with the EPU, re-assessment of outputs (e.g., temperature, pressure, and water level) indicated the same conclusion; all parameters were found acceptable with regard to plant area and structural requirements.

The same paragraph on page 3-23, as above, in reference to the reactor water cleanup (RWCU), continues as follows:
"For the break location that was analyzed during Rerate, new mass and energy release calculations considered additional blowdown sources that had not been considered in the previous 1996 analysis. This resulted in an increase in integrated mass release of about 90% and an increase in integrated energy release of 63 percent."
Confirm that the 90% and 63% increases are referring to the proposed EPU.

If the CLTP HELB cases were run using similar assumptions, the changes in mass and energy releases would be minor as a result of EPU.
As noted on PUSAR page 2-21:
A review of the results from several recent EPU submittals concluded that, in most cases, environmental conditions are bounded by previous analyses, confirming that EPU produces relatively minor effects.
EMCB RAI RAI No. 6(b)
Please explain how the effects of the increased mass and energy release have been evaluated, include evaluations of pipe whip restraints and jet targets.
NSPM RESPONSE Changes in mass and energy were evaluated for impacts on HELBs using the GOTHIC code. This allowed a determination of time histories for all plant areas to evaluate effects on temperature, pressure and flooding. Differential pressures between plant areas verified acceptable margins for structures such as block walls. The effects of changes to temperature, pressure and flooding have been evaluated for impact on the environmental qualification (EQ) of equipment. Upgrades to EQ files to document this evaluation

The RW U high energy lines are located in the RWCU compartment, steam chase; MG set roo, and the North West side of elevations 962' and 935' of the reactor building. There are-Re postulated breaks in the A.1G cot room and the reactor building elevations Q62' aRd 935' based on 6iORiGmis
.Re"'""".. There are no pipe whip targets for the RWCU piping in the steam chase. IH teriaI The safe shutdown evaluation for the RWCU compartment in Appendix I does not rely on pipe whip restraints or jet impingement shields to protect any equipment or structures. The effects of pipe whip and jet impingement in this area do not result in the loss of components required to mitigate the break and shut down the reactor. Therefore there is no impact on RWCU pipe whip and jet impingement due to EPU.
EMCB RAI No. 7 Page 2-37 states that: "The combination of stresses was evaluated to meet the requirements of the pipe break criteria. Based on these criteria, no new postulated pipe break locations were identified." For systems affected by the EPU, specifically steam (all EPU affected steam lines) and FW lines (including condensate), provide a pipe break analysis summary table (that includes the main steam increased turbine stop valve (TSV) closure transient loads in the analysis) which compares values at EPU and CLTP conditions and shows code equation stresses and CUFs compared to break limit for stresses and CUFs. Include pipe break locations and types selected for CLTP and EPU. Include lines inside and outside containment.
NSPM RESPONSE Systems that have piping meeting the MNGP design basis criteria for classification as "High Energy" include Main Steam, Condensate, Feedwater, Residual Heat Removal (RHR), Core Spray (CS), High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI), Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC), Reactor Water Cleanup (RWCU), Off Gas, Control Rod Drive (CRD), Zinc Oxide Injection (GEZIP), and Standby Liquid Control (SLC). The parameters used for stress analysis in the high energy portions of these systems are unchanged due to EPU except in the Main Steam, Condensate, Feedwater, and GEZIP systems.
The Main Steam system analysis results including TSV closure loads are provided in the table below. The stress result for the Main Steam location with the maximum HELB break postulation equation result is also included in the table. The stress at that location does not meet (is less than) the current design basis criteria to require a postulated break. Hcno,, thc. or isen Main St.am brcak., .utcidctainm,,t

Note that in the current design Evaluation of jet impingement from this new crack has been assessed and no safety related equipment is in the area. This new crack is bounded by other HELB cracks and breaks in the area for the impact from expected mass and energy release. Analyses related to design changes are approved and the new crack did not result in any new jet impingement or pipe whip targets.
Item 266 L-MT-09-044 Enclosure 1 Page 9 of 46 basis, specific HELB locations are not postulated inside containment. The current design basis does not include fatigue analysis of the Main Steam piping. Due to the revised analysis of the turbine stop valve closure loads, comparison to pre-EPU values is not meaningful.
The Main Steam evaluation results shown below are performed for the EPU pressure, temperature and flow parameters, including the TSV closure loads.

EMCB RAI No. 18 In accordance with Section 2.2.2 of the PUSAR, the main steam and associated piping system structural evaluation was performed to justify the operation of these systems at EPU conditions. This evaluation showed that one small bore branch line did not meet the displacement criteria. PUSAR further states that, "Additional detailed analysis will be performed to qualify this line or the piping modified prior to operation at EPU conditions."
a) Provide identification of the small bore branch line (size, system, location, function).
b) Describe the required displacement limits and their bases.
c) Since this piping analysis, with potential piping and or support modifications, is required for EPU, please discuss the reasoning for not including this information in your application. Also, indicate when necessary modifications, as needed, will be completed.
NSPM RESPONSE a) The branch line is a 1 inch instrument sensing line located inside the primary containment. The line connects one of the differential pressure sensing ports on the D steam line flow restrictor to a containment instrument piping penetration. This line is used for flow sensing in main steam line D and serves a safety related input function to the high flow Group 1 Containment Isolation logic that will automatically isolate the MSIV's in the event of a main steam line break.
b) A differential displacement of 1/16 inch for branch connection points was used as screening criteria in the piping analysis. Those in excess of 1/16 inch were noted as outliers needing further evaluation. The basis for the 1/16 inch criteria is:
- 1. The 1/16 inch displacement produces an insignificant stress in the branch line which is typically supported by a standard deadweight span (span length from run pipe nozzle connection to first support on the branch).

Page 20 of Enclosure I to the January 21, 2013, letter discusses Item 10 of the EPU Gap Analysis, concerning the effects of a final feedwater (FW) temperature change. It states,
"[General Electric-Hitachi (GEH)] performed a study and determined that the impact of the FW temperature change on anticipated operational occurrences (AOOs) was negligible."
Please describe how the study was performed and provide additional information regarding the basis for this determination.
GEH Response:
GEH performed a dual reload license for Monticello Cycle 26 at 1775 MWt (CLTP) and 2004 MWt (EPU). At CLIP conditions, the limiting AOO events were evaluated using ODYN assuming feedwater temperature input of 383.07F and 388.07F. The impact on corrected Change in Critical Power Ratio (ACPR) was determined to be < 0.0045 for all events. The increase in FW temperature was shown to benefit several transients, with the difference being > -0.0048.
Additionally, the limiting transient with respect to ACPR decreased by 0.0019, resulting in no impact to the calculated Operating Limit MCPR. All thermal and mechanical overpower results demonstrated margin to the limits.
At EPU conditions, TRACG is the licensing basis code for AOOs. Instead of explicit analysis, the TRACG AOO LTR was leveraged to quantify the sensitivity of transients to a change in FW temperature. Table 8-10, Reference 1 documents the FW temperature sensitivity on the TTNBP event with respect to DCPR/ICPR. Specifically, a change in FW temperature of -56K (-l007) resulted in a DCPR/ICPR effect of-0.013. The DCPR/ICPR is scaled by the ratio of FW temperature change (5/100) to obtain a more realistic value of 0.00065 DCPR/ICPR. Section 8.2.1, Reference I states a 0.005 DCPR/ICPR is considered 'insensitive".
The nominal FW temperature is provided on a cycle-specific basis as input to the reload licensing evaluations. Therefore, all AOOs for future reloads will be evaluated with the appropriate FW temperature.

Page 20 of Enclosure I to the January 21, 2013, letter discusses the effects of a final FW temperature change. It states, "GEH further concluded that sufficient margin remains in the peak dome pressure safety limit and ASME upset condition limit when accounting for this small FW temperature change."
Describe how this conclusion was reached. Explain how much margin is required to offset the effects of the final FW temperature change, how the amount of margin remaining in these limits was determined, and how MNGP will ensure that adequate margin is maintained in cycle-specific safety analyses.
GEH Response:
A qualitative evaluation was performed and the conclusion was reached using a combination of sensitivity results for non-limiting pressurization transients (e.g. turbine trip no bypass) and the margin to the dome pressure safety limit and ASME code upset condition limit. The +57F FW temperature change increased dome and vessel bottom pressure for the non-limiting pressurization transients by -5 psi. The FW temperature increase would impact the limiting vessel overpressure event (MSIVF) by a similar magnitude. The pressurization rate increase due to the FW temperature increase would be similar to the other non-limiting transients; however, the high-pressure RPT would occur earlier in the event offsetting some of pressure increase. The Cycle 26 EPU results for vessel overpressure demonstrated 10.9 psi margin to the dome pressure safety limit and 30.5 psi margin to the ASME code upset condition limit.
The nominal FW temperature is provided on a cycle-specific basis as input to the reload licensing evaluations. Therefore, the ASME overpressure event for future reloads will be evaluated with the appropriate FW temperature.

Page 20 of Enclosure I to the January 21, 2013, letter discusses the effects of a final FW temperature change. The applicable section describes and evaluation of the design basis accident (DBA) - loss of coolant accident (LOCA) containment response. The section does not describe the effects that the final FW temperature change could have on the DBA-LOCA ECCS evaluation.
Please explain how the EPU ECCS evaluation accounts for the final FW temperature change.
GEH Response:
Feedwater temperature changes impact the Monticello ECCS LOCA response by directly affecting the initial core coolant energy content. With higher feedwater temperature expected at EPU power (2004 MWth) and MELLLA+ flow (46.1 Mlbm/hr) conditions (e.g. 5 0F above the analysis-basis value of 395.8°F to 400.8°F [Reference 1]), a corresponding increase in feedwater enthalpy yields a small increase in core coolant inlet enthalpy (less than 2.0%). A postulated large break LOCA may then cause the core to enter boiling transition at slightly earlier times along the fuel axial length, whereas a small break LOCA would see effectively no change in boiling transition behavior. Any LOCA scenario evaluated with a small increase in feedwater temperature would also experience a small increase in the cladding heatup rate early in the event due to a minor reduction in the coolant inventory heat absorption capacity. The additional energy from the higher feedwater temperature yields slightly higher cladding temperatures until ECCS provides effective cooling and inventory makeup.
The limiting ECCS LOCA scenario for Monticello is a large break in the recirculation suction line evaluated with Appendix K assumptions at Current Licensed Thermal Power (CLTP, 1775 MWth) and MELLLA flow (47.4 Mlbm/hr) conditions with LPCI injection valve failure
[Reference 2, Reference 3]. The resulting Licensing Basis Peak Cladding Temperature (LBPCT) for this scenario is 2140'F.
Heat balance assessments demonstrate lower feedwater temperature values at the CLTP power level and MELLLA flow conditions when compared to EPU power and MELLLA+ or rated flow conditions. Generally, the temperature of feedwater delivered to the reactor vessel is predominately dependent upon reactor power but weakly dependent on core flow, such that the higher EPU power level amplifies the impact of the minor core enthalpy increase on the LOCA response.
An assessment performed for the Appendix K large break LOCA scenario with a 5°F increase in feedwater temperature at EPU power and rated flow conditions shows an insignificant PCT change of approximately 6°F. A similar assessment performed for the limiting case at CLTP power and MELLLA flow conditions yields a negligible difference. Therefore the LBPCT does not change and the ECCS LOCA response for Monticello is not affected by a 5°F increase in feedwater temperature at EPU power and rated, MELLLA, and MELLLA+ flow conditions.
Additionally, operation at MELLLA+ conditions requires a larger setdown in the linear heat
GE-MNGP-AEP-3284 Non-proprietary Information Enclosure I Page 5 of 10 generation rate as compared to the setdown applied for operation with MELLLA conditions
[Reference 3], thus assuring the limiting LOCA scenario defining LBPCT remains at CLTP power and MELLLA flow conditions.

Page 40 of Enclosure I to the January 21, 2013, letter discusses Item 15 of the EPU Gap Analysis, concerning a change in the turbine bypass valve capacity value, which apparently amounted to a slight reduction, i.e., from 11.6% to 11.5%. The section states that "the evaluation of plant transients is performed on a cyclic basis for MNGP and has been completed for EPU core design using a value of 11.5% for the evaluation of transients... the results of this...
evaluation are available in the MINGP cycle 26 supplemental reload licensing report..."
Please address the effects of this change with respect to the limiting ATWS overpressure events.
GER Response:
A change in the turbine bypass capacity could only impact the Pressure Regulator Failed Open (PRFO) event. However, plants that have small TCV and turbine bypass capacities will likely not be able to depressurize the reactor down to the low pressure isolation setpoint, which would then trigger MSIV closure. Procedurally, GEH sets the demand to -120% of rated conditions to drive plants to these pre-isolation vessel conditions. Therefore, the ATWS overpressure analysis assumes a turbine bypass capacity above the actual value. Note the turbine bypass system is not part of the ATWS overpressure mitigation. As a result, there would be no impact to the ATWS safety analysis due to the change in the turbine bypass capacity.

Refer to NEDC-33322P, Revision 2, Section 2.6.3.1.1 Section 2.6.3. 1.1- Short Term Gas Temperature Response The drywell air space temperature limit is specified in Table 2.6-1. The limit is increased for EPU from 335°F to 340'F.
The GEH response to RAI 10(b) states the following:
The peak drywell temperatures reported tinder EPU/MELLLA conditions in Table 2.6-1 of NEDC-33322P were obtained from a long-term containment response calculation for a small steam line break accident (SBA) at 102% of EPU power and 100% core flow with the SHEX code.
NRC Staff Comment The GEH response to RAI 10(b) appears to conflict with the NEDC-33322P Revision 2, Section 2.6.3.1.1.
The RAI response implies that the drywell gas temperature values in Table 2.6-1 of NEDC-33322P are based on a long term SBA analysis using SHEX code.
Section 2.6.3.1.1 of NEDC-33322P is referring to the short term drywell gas temperatures listed in Tables 2.6-1.
Pleaseprovide clarificationas to whether the peak drywell temperatures of 335°F,336TF, and 338°F listed in Table 2.6-1 are based on short termn SBA analysis or long term SBA analysis with SHEX code.
Pleaseprovide additionalclarification(e.g., footnote (s)) in Table 2.6-1 to further differentiate between long terni and short termn SBA analyses.
GEH Response - Question 1 The peak drywell temperatures of 335°F, 336'F, and 338°F, which are reported in Table 2.6-1 of NEDC-33322P, Revision 2 (Reference 1), were determined from long term containment analyses for a small steam line break (SBA) performed with the GEH SHEX code.
GE-MNGP-AEP-3284 Non-proprietary Information Enclosure I Page 8 of 10 GEH Response - Question 2 A revision to Table 2.6-1 of NEDC-33322P is included for this response which expands the discussion in footnote 5 to Table 2.6-1. The expanded footnote clarifies the analysis basis for the calculated peak drywell temperatures reported in this table. Note that the footnote now identifies that the analysis basis for peak reported drywell atmosphere temperatures in this table is the same as the basis for the peak drywell wall temperatures. The expanded footnote also now reports the peak drywell temperatures obtained from the short-term DBA-LOCA recirculation suction line break analyses performed with the GEH M3CPT code.

Notes:
- 1. The EPU Method, which was used for the EPU analysis, uses the EPU RTP analysis method with CLTP inputs. The EPU Method includes a more bounding initial containment pressure of 3.0 psig as compared with the CLTP of the USAR, which assumed an initial containment pressure of 2.0 psig. The EPU method also assumes the initial reactor power is at 102% of the RTP.
- 2. Includes an increase in the assumed initial containment pressure from 2.0 psig of the method of the USAR analysis to 3.0 psig for the EPU Method.
- 3. The design pressure for the drywell and wetwell is 56 psig. Maximum internal pressure is 62 psig, as shown in USAR Table 5.2-1.
- 4. Limit for the drywell environmental temperature is increased for EPU from 335°F shown in USAR Table 5.2-8 to 340'F.
- 5. Peak drywell atmosphere temperatures and peak drywell wall temperatures are calculated assuming a 0.50 sqft steam break into the drywell with UCHIDA condensing heat transfer to the drywell wall to the saturation temperature at the drywell pressure, and initiation of drywell sprays at 10 minutes. The peak drywell atmosphere temperatures obtained from the short-term DBA-LOCA recirculation suction line break analysis are 285.5'F (CLTP from USAR), 290'F (CLTP with EPU Method) and 291'F (EPU).
- 6. Reduction in peak bulk pool temperature from 194.2°F shown in USAR Table 5.2 to 1937F shown above for CLTP with EPU Method is primarily due to use of a K-value that increases with increasing hot inlet water temperature.
- 7. The first value is the peak suppression pool temperature for the DBA LOCA with direct suppression pool cooling, 90'F service water temperature, and an RHR heat exchanger K-value that increases with increasing hot inlet water temperature. The second number is the peak suppression pool temperature for the same DBA LOCA and 90'F service water temperature, but with containment cooling using containment sprays and a constant K-value of 147 BTU/sec°F, used for NPSH evaluation.
- 8. The limit for peak bulk pool temperature, determined as the design temperature for the torus-attached piping, is increased for EPU from 196.7°F (Reference 19) to 208'F.

L-MT-13-035 ENCLOSURE 3 MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT MODIFICATION TO CALCULATION 03-036, REVISION 2 INSTRUMENT SETPOINT CALCULATION - REACTOR LOW PRESSURE PERMISSIVE BYPASS TIMER Recently the Northern States Power Company, a Minnesota corporation (NSPM), doing business as Xcel Energy discovered an error in calculation 03-036, Revision 1, "Instrument Setpoint Calculation - Reactor Low Pressure Permissive Bypass Timer."
Calculation 03-036, Revision 1 was provided to the NRC in NSPM letter L-MT-13-019, (Reference E3-1).
The identified error concerns the accuracy of the instrument loop under normal (and trip) conditions. The instrument loop accuracy under normal (and trip) conditions should have used a value of +/- 1.93 minutes. This value should have been applied in Section 6.5.1 for calculation of the Allowable Value. Instead, a value of 1.0 minutes was incorrectly used.
The Allowable Value calculated in 03-036, Revision 1 is thus incorrect and non-conservative, as calculation of the Allowable Value using the corrected 1.93 minutes random error term for loop accuracy would result in an Allowable Value (AV) <= 17.5 minutes (less than the upper AV of 18.0 minutes given in 03-036, Revision 1).
NSPM revised the calculation as follows: The Analytical Limit of <= 19.3 minutes used in 03-036, Revision 1 results in a peak clad temperature of 1500 OF. A higher Analytical Limit allows the necessary calculation revision without impacting the Allowable Value and nominal trip setpoint determined in Revision 1 and does not change the Technical Specification setpoint. Therefore, the Analytical Limit was changed to a peak clad temperature of 1700 OF. 1700 OF is well below the maximum permitted peak clad temperature of 2200 OF and is therefore acceptable. Figure 3e in NEDC-33800P (Ref.
E3-1, Enclosure 2) provides the basis for the revised Analytical Limit. See the attached calculation for more details.

Instrument Setpoint Calculation Revision 2 Reactor Low Pressure Permissive Bypass Timer Page 1 of 16
- 1. Purpose This calculation performs a setpoint calculation for the Reactor Low Pressure Permissive Bypass Timers 1OA-K95A, 10A-K95B, 14A-K27A, and 14A-K27B.
Revision 0 of this calculation was performed to support the extended calibration and surveillance intervals of the time delay relays as part of the 24-Month Fuel Cycle Extension project.
Revision 1 of the calculation was performed in accordance with License Amendment 170, Input 4.14, which removed the lower allowable limit for the Reactor Steam Dome Pressure Permissive - Bypass Timer (Automatic Depressurization system(ADS) bypass timer) of ">= 18 min", previously given in Table 3.3.5.1-1 of Technical Specifications.
Removal of this lower bound from Technical Specifications allowed revision i to derive a time delay setpoint to support both current (CLTP) and future (EPU/ MELLLA+) operating conditions based on information provided in design inputs 4.18 and 4.13. Revision 1 changed the nominal time delay setpoint from 20 minutes to 15 minutes, for the purpose of ensuring that peak cladding temperature remains well below the 10CFR50.46 limit of 2200 deg. F for both current (CLTP) and future (EPU/MELLLA+)
operating power levels.
Revision 2 of this calculation is being performed to correct calculation errors identified in revision 1. Revision 1 of this calculation had errors identified during the NRC review associated with EPU GAP Analysis review (MD9990). CAP AR # 01377658 was initiated*
to drive resolution of this issue (Reference 10.11). The correction of the revision 1 errors requires justification of a higher Analytical Limit for the time delay relays (20.0 minutes vs. 19.3 minutes).
- 2. Methodology
- This calculation is performed in accordance with ESM-03.02-APP-I (Input 4.1). The General Electric Setpoint Methodology is a statistically based methodology. It recognizes that most of the uncertainties that affect instrument performance are subject to random behavior, and utilizes statistical (probability) estimates of the various uncertainties to achieve conservative, but reasonable, predictions of instrument channel uncertainties. The objective of the statistical approach to setpoint calculations is to achieve a workable compromise between the need to ensure instrument trips when appropriate, and the need to avoid spurious trips that may unnecessarily challenge safety systems or disrupt plant operation.

Note 6: The normal operating conditions of the relays are within the vendor specified operating range of the relay (Input 4.10). Although Input 4.7 gives a humidity of 100% for trip conditions, this is based on assumption and for the applicable Cable Spreading Room environment humidity levels would not be expected to result in condensation.

6.5 Calculation of Allowable Value and Operating Setpoint 6.5.1 Allowable Value (AV):
From Input 4.13, it can be seen that for the bounding scenario of a RWCU break at EPU/MELLLA+ operating conditions with a gate valve a time of 1579 seconds is required to reach 22000 F. Input 4.13 also shows that it takes approximately 1400 seconds to reach 1700° F. Input 4.18 shows that the EPU / MELLLA+ case bounds current operating power (CLTP) conditions with respect to clad temperature vs. time for the limiting RWCU break. In order to provide sufficient time to cool the core, the actuation of ADS should occur prior to reaching 22000 F, therefore additional consideration is given for the following delays in the ADS initiation: from Input 4.13 a delay of 36 seconds from time 0 of the scenario is taken for initiation of the low low level signal, from Input 4.16 the time required for ECCS pumps to reach rated speed is 18 seconds, from Input 4.15 the ADS timer delay is 138 seconds. Therefore an analytical value of 1208 seconds will be used.
1400s - 36s - 18s - 138s = 1208s An Analytical Limit of 1208 seconds ensures actuation of ADS at approximately 1700 degrees F, well before reaching the 2200 degrees F limit. The Analytical Limit will be defined as 1200 seconds, or 20.0 minutes.

An As-Found Tolerance is calculated to provide suggested limits for use during the surveillance testing:
AFT =+/--3/VA2 + D L.Radom2 + DTE2 +D L.Bias 2
AFT=+3r1.02 +0.342 +02 + 0.04 2
AFT = -1.54 minutes, + 1.62 minutes The As Found Tolerance (AFT) range will be specified as:
AFT = +/- 1.5 minutes Note that vendor accuracy (VA) used to calculate the As Found Tolerance is the typical 5% of setpoint accuracy specified by the vendor for normal operating conditions. The setpoint is assumed to be the AL of 20.0 minutes.
A review of As-Found data (Input 4.4) shows that these relays have historically performed within the calculated AFT.
6.5.6 Required Limits Evaluation The purpose of a Required Limits Evaluation is to assure that the combination of errors present during calibration of each device in the channel is accounted for while allowing for the possibility that the devices may not be recalibrated. Since Leave Alone Zones are not used at MNGP, the devices are always verified or recalibrated to be within the As Left Zone. Therefore, a Required Limits Evaluation as discussed in the GE methodology is not applicable. Because the calibrated portion of this instrument loop consists only of the timers, the Loop As Found Tolerance is equal to the AFT from Section 6.5.5 above.
Loop AFT = AFT = +/- 1.5 minutes As a result of Condition Report (CR) 02001013 (Reference 10.9), the As Found values are reviewed to verify that the As Found value is not outside the Technical Specification range. The As Found limits are not outside the Technical Specification range, and are therefore acceptable as determined in Section 6.5.5.

The margin of the 15.0 minute setpoint to the minimum time delay of 10 minutes is large with respect to instrument accuracies. Spurious trip margin is more than adequate; no formal analysis is required.

MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT - ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENT REGARDING THE AUTOMATIC DEPRESSURIZATION SYSTEM BYPASS AIMER (TAC NO. ME8345)
Dear Schimmel:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued the enclosed Amendment No. 170 to Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-22 for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant.
The amendment consists of changes to the technical specifications (TSs) in response to your application dated April 5, 2012.
The amendment revises TSs to eliminate the lower allowable value limit of "> 18 minutes" for Functions I.e and 2.e, 'Reactor Steam Dome Pressure Permissive - Bypass Timer (Pump Permissive)," in Table 3.3.5.1-1, "Emergency Core Cooling System Instrumentation."
Please note that the NRC staff declined to issue this amendment by the licensee's requested issuance date of June 6, 2012; the application did not provide any reason for shortening the regulatory 60-day notice period during which interested parties may petition for a hearing.
A copy of our related safety evaluation is also enclosed. The Notice of Issuance will be included in the Commission's biweekly FederalRegister notice.
