SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION The Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) hereby requests an amendment to Fort Calhoun Station (FCS), Unit No. 1, Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-40 to correct typographical errors and make administrative clarifications to the FCS Technical Specifications (TS). As described below, the proposed changes are adrr~ir~istrative in nature.
- 2. DETAILED DESCRIPTION The FCS TS do not contain a Table 1. I ; reactor coolant flow is found in Table 2-1 1. TS 2.1 .I(1) is revised to correct this typographical error.
TS 2.1.1(12)(a) incorrectly references a Table 2.9 but there is no such table. ,TS 2.1.1(12)(a) is revised to reference the correct table, which is Table 2-9.
TS 2 . 1 . 2 ~
P TS 2 . 1 . 2 ~states that the heatup rate of the pressurizer shall not exceed "ll'OO degrees Fahrenheit in any one hour period. The letter "I" is replaced with a "I" to correct this typographical error.
Figure 1-2 was relocated to the Core Operating Limits Report (COLR) in Aniendment 170 (Reference 6.1). However, the license amendment request (LAR) (Reference 6.2) that proposed the relocation overlooked a reference to Figure 1-2 in TS 2.10.4(l)(d) and thus the reference remained in the TS. OPPD proposes to replace the reference to Figure 1-2 with a reference to the applicable figure in the COLR, which is Figure 7, "Axial Power Distribution LSSS for 4 Pump Operation." This is the figure that was relocated to the COLR by Amendment 170.
The last paragraph of TS 2.10.4(l)(d) contains an extraneous period in the reference to TS 2.10.4(1). OPPD proposes to delete this period.
TS 2.13, Table 2-1 1, RPS Limiting Safety System Settings OPPD proposes to make several administrative clarifications to Table 2-1 1, which lists the reactor protective system (RPS) trip setpoints. First, OPPD proposes to rename the column titled "Trip Setpoints" to "Allowable Value," which is consistent with the title of the table and wi.th Improved Standard Technical Specifications (ISTS) (Reference 6.3).
LIC-08-0078 Enclosure Page 3 Second, OPPD proposes to place a greater than or equal to sign in front of the trip setpoint for low steam generator water level. The designation of this setpoint at a specified value is inconsistent with the other RPS setpoints of Table 2-1 1. Third, OPPD proposes to correct the title of the Axial Power Distribution Figure, which is "Axial Power Distribution LSSS for 4 Pump Operation." Finally, OPPD proposes to make a grammatical correction to Footnote F by inserting a comma to irr~proveits readability.
TS 2.14, Table 2-1, Engineered Safety Features System Initiation Instrument Settinq Limits OPPD proposes to make two administrative clarifications to Table 2-1, which lists the engineered safety features (ESF) system trip setting limits. First, OPPD proposes to rename the column titled "Setting Limit" to "Allowable Value," which is consistent with the title of the table and with ISTS. Second, OPPD proposes to correct the setting for Item 6.a (4.16 KV Emergency Bus Low Voltage), which contains formatting errors in the superscript for time delay. The -20.8 (volts) pertains to the trip setting for loss of voltage. It does not pertain to the time delay setting. Thus, OPPD proposes to relocate the -20.8 to the line above its current position to clarify that it applies to the loss of voltage trip. For added clarity, OPPD proposes to relocate the superscript (4) away from the numeric value for time delay such that it follows the word "seconds," which is a more appropriate location for the footnote reference.
OPPD proposes to revise TS 5.8.ld to reflect the addition of the "Diesel Fuel Oil Testing Program," the "Steam Generator (SG) Program," and the "Control Room Habitability Program." These programs are described in TS 5.22, TS 5.23, and TS 5.24, respectively; therefore, TS 5.8.ld is revised to apply through TS 5.24.
OPPD proposes to revise TS 5.19 to correct a punctuation error, renumber its provisions for clarity, eliminate a one-time exception stating that the Type A test can be performed no later than November 2008, and correct a typographical error in the acceptance criteria for containment purge valve leakage rate.
- 3. TECHNICAL EVALUATION The objective of TS 2.1.Iis to specify certain conditions of the reactor coolant system components. As such, TS 2.1.1(1) states that all four (4) reactor coolant pumps shall be in operation. The exceptions for TS 2.1 .I (1) allow the limitations of this specification to be suspended during low power physics testing provided the reactor coolant flow requirenients of Table 1.I are met. However, the FCS TS do not contain a Table 1.I.
LIC-08-0078 Enclosure Page 4 Prior to Amendment 252 (Reference 6.4), the FCS TS contained reactor coolant flow requirements in Table 1-1. Amendment 252 relocated Table 1-1 to TS 2.13 and renamed it Table 2-1 1. Thus, reactor coolant flow requirements are now found in Table 2-1 1 and OPPD is correcting this typographical error.
TS 2.1.1(12)(a) incorrectly references a Table 2.9 but there is no such table. The correct table is Table 2-9 and TS 2.1.1(12)(a) is revised to correct this typographical error.
- . TS 2 . 1 . 2 ~states that the heatup rate of the pressurizer shall not exceed I1'OOdegrees Fahrenheit in any one hour period. The letter "I" is replaced with a "1" to correct this typographical error.
TS 2.10.4(1 )(dl In a letter dated April 7, 1995, (Reference 6.2), OPPD submitted an LAR proposing to delete Figure 1-2 titled "Axial Power Distribution LSSS for 4 Pump Operation" from the FCS TS and relocate it to the COLR in accordance with Generic Letter 88-16 (Reference 6.5). However, the LAR overlooked a reference to Figure 1-2 contained in TS 2.10.4(l)(d) and thus the reference, which should have been deleted, was not. The NRC approved the relocation of Figure 1-2 to the COLR in Amendment 170 (Reference 6.1). To correct this oversight, the reference to Figure 1-2 is deleted and replaced with a reference to tlie Axial Power Distribution LSSS for 4 Purr~pOperation Figure, which is Figure 7 in the COLR. This change is consistent with the changes requested by Reference 6.2 and approved by the NRC in Amendment 170 and thus is administrative in nature to remove an obsolete reference.
Deletion of an extraneous period in the reference to Specification 2.10.4(1) corrects a tjlpographical error and thus is also administrative in nature.
TS 2.13, Table 2-1 1, RPS Limitinq Safety Svstem Settings Table 2-1 1 lists each reactor trip and its associated setting. The title of the column containing the setting (Trip Setpoints) implies that it contains a specific value for each reactor trip. However, the presence of greater than (or less than) or equal to signs in front of the settings indicates that a range of values is allowed. Renaming this column to "Allowable Value" is a more accurate description of the column and is consistent with the title of Table 2-1 1. This change also makes Table 2-1 1 more similar to Table 3.3.1-1, Reactor Protective System Instrumentation of ISTS (Reference 6.3).
LIC-08-0078 Enclosure Page 5 The RPS generates a reactor trip signal at 31.2% narrow-range steam generator water level, which is an abnormally low level. A water level this low indicates a loss of steam generator secondary water inventory, which if not corrected co~lldresult in the loss of the ability to remove heat from the reactor coolant system. Since the purpose of the column is to list the allowable value of the various trip settings, it is more accurate to precede the low steam generator water level allowable value (31.2%) with a greater than or equal to sign. This is consistent with the designation of allowable values in Table 3.3.1-1 of ISTS, as well as with the designation of other RPS settings in Table 2-
- 11. This change does not allow less conservative settings (i.e., less than 31.2%) but would allow settings greater than 31.2%, which would provide additional margin for protecting steam generator water levels.
The change proposed to the title of the Axial Power Distribution LSSS for 4 Pump Operation Figure is consistent with the title of the applicable figure in the COLR (Figure
- 7) and with the changes made to TS 2.10.4(l)(d) as described above.
Insertion of a comma into Footnote F is a grammatical correction that improves readability of the footnote when bypassing the low reactor coolant flow and thermal marginllow pressure trips during low power physics testing.
These changes are administrative in nature, are consistent with ISTS and with the designations of other settings in Table 2-11, or otherwise improve accuracy or readability.
TS 2.14, Table 2-1, Engineered Safety Features System Initiation Instrument Settinq Limits Table 2-1 lists each ESF trip setting limit. Renaming the "Setting Lirnit" column to "Allowable Value" is a more accurate description of the column. This title is consistent with the title of Table 2-1 and with the change proposed for Table 2-1 1 as shown above.
This change also makes Table 2-1 more similar to Table 3.3.4-1, Engineered Safety Features Actuation System instrumentation of ISTS (Reference 6.3).
A review of regulatory correspondence associated with amendments to Table 2-1 deterrr~iliedthat the loss of voltage setting limit error has been manifesting itself since Amendment ? 57 (Reference 6.6). Prior to Amendment 157, the -20.8 (volts) was shown immediately below the + I 04 volts near the superscript for the reference to Footnote (4).
The Reference 6.7 LAR and a supplement thereto (Reference 6.8), associated with Amendment 157 were reviewed and did not request changes to Item 6. OPPD surmises that due to its location near the footnote reference, a typographical error related to the issuance of Amendment 157 caused the -20.8 to end up on the line below in the superscript to Footnote (4). This footnote is associated with the time delay for loss of voltage.
LIC-08-0078 Enclosure Page 6 The proposed change corrects this discrepancy by placing both loss of voltage limits on the same line and clarifies the time delay setting by relocating the superscript (4) away from the numeric value to follow the word "seconds," which is a more appropriate location for the footnote.
These changes are limited to the correction of typographical errors and the relocation of text for legibility, and thus are administrative in nature.
TS 5.8.ld lists additional programs for which written procedures and administrative policies are required. In recent years, several new programs have been added to TS 5.0, "Administrative Controls" and the need to update TS 5.8.ld to reflect the addition of these programs was overlooked. Specifically, the new programs are:
TS 5.22, Diesel Fuel Oil Testing Program, TS 5.23, Steam Generator (SG) Program, and TS 5.24, Control Room Habitability Program.
Accordingly, TS 5.8.ld is revised to apply through TS 5.24. OPPD has instituted an administrative control to evaluate TS 5.8.ld whenever new programs are added to TS 5.0. Since the evaluation occurs prior to submitting an LAR to the NRC, this error should not reel-lr.
OPPD proposes the following changes to TS 5.19.
The first sentence of TS 5.19 is revised to correct a punctuation error where a period, which should be a comma, separates the citation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, Option B.
In order to set the provisions of TS 5.19 apart from each other, OPPD proposes to format TS 5.19 using an alpha-numel-ic numbering scheme that is similar to the format of TS 5.5.16, Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program of ISTS (Reference 6.3).
Because this change is limited to segregating the provisions of TS 5.19 for clarity, it is administrative in nature.
OPPD proposes to delete Exception (4), which was added to TS 5.19 by Amendment 220 (Reference 6.9). In Reference 6.10 as supplemented by References 6.1 1, and 6.12, OPPD had requested a one-time five-year extension to the ten-year test interval for .the Type A, integrated leak rate test (ILRT). OPPD successfully completed the Type A test during the 2008 refueling outage, which ended in June 2008. With the deletion of Exception (4), OPPD reverts to a 10-year test interval based on performance history in accordance with Option B of 10 CFR 50, Appendix J as approved by the NRC in
LIC-08-0078 Enclosure Page 7 Amendment 185 (Reference 6.13). The proposed change is administrative in nature as the exception no longer serves a purpose as the Type A test has been completed.
Finally, OPPD proposes to correct a typographical error in the leakage rate of the containment purge valves. In Reference 6.14, OPPD submitted an LAR to implement Option B of 10 CFR 50, Appendix J to allow the frequency of conducting the Type A ILRT and local leak rate testing (Type B and C) to be based on component performance. The LAR approved in Amendment 185 (Reference 6.13) resulted in the establishment of the Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program of TS 5.19.
The markup of TS 5.19 contained in the Reference 6.14 LAR specified that the leakage rate acceptance criteria for the containment purge valves is < 18,000 (eighteen thousand) standard cubic centimeters per minute (SCCM) when tested at 2 Pa (contail-~ment design accident pressure). However, the TS page issued with Amendment 185 inadvertently changed the corrlma indicating thousand to a decimal point. This error was not discovered at the time the amendment was issued. TS 5.19 is revised to correct this typographical error and as such is administrative in nature.
4.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
4.1 Applicable Regulatory Requirementslcriteria 10 CFR 50.9 Completeness and accuracy of information. 10 CFR 50.9 states, "Information provided to the Commission by an applicant for a license or by a licensee or information required by statute or by the Commission's regulations, orders, or license conditions to be maintained by the applicant or the licensee shall be complete and accurate in all material respects."
The requested changes revise the FCS TS to meet the requirements of this regulation.
10 CFR 50.36 Technical Specifications. 10 CFR 50.36(d) states:
Technical specifications will include items in the following categories:
(1) Safety limits, limiting safety system settings, and limiting control settings. (i)(A)
Safety limits for nuclear reactors are limits upon important process variables that are found to be necessary to reasonably protect the integrity of certain of the physical barriers that guard against the uncontrolled release of radioactivity. If any safety limit is exceeded, the reactor must be shut down. . ."
The requested changes to Table 2-1 1 ensure that the FCS TS continue to meet the requirements of this regulation.
LIC-08-0078 Enclosure Page 8 General Design Criteria FCS was licensed for construction prior to May 21, 1971 and at that time committed to the draft General Design Criteria (GDC). Compliance with the draft GDC is documented in Appendix G of ,the FCS Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR). The requested changes to the FCS TS are administrative in nature and continue to comply with USAR Appendix G.
4.2 Precedent Because these changes are administrative in nature, the citing of precedent would add little value and therefore, none is provided. There are numerous administrative amendments correcting typographical errors and making editorial changes such as these.
4.3 Significant Hazards Consideration The Fort Calhoun Station (FCS), Unit No. 1 Technical Specifications (TS) are modified to correct typographical and administrative errors, or make clarifications that more accurately reflect TS requirements.
The Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) 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.
The proposed changes correct typographical and administrative errors, or make clarifications that more accurately reflect TS requirements. Administrative and editorial changes such as these are not an initiator of any accident previously evaluated. As a result, the probability of an accident previously evaluated is not affected. The consequences of an accident with the incorporation of these administrative and editorial changes are no different than the consequences of the same accident without these changes. As a result, the consequences of an accident previously evaluated are not affected by these changes.
The proposed changes do not alter or prevent the ability of structures, systems, and components from performing their intended function to mitigate the consequences of an initiating event within the assumed acceptance limits. The proposed changes do not affect the source term, containment isolation, or radiological release
LIC-08-0078 Enclosure Page 9 assumptions used in evaluating the radiological consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
Further, the proposed changes do not increase the types or amounts of radioactive effluent that may be released offsite, nor significantly increase individual or cumulative occupational/public radiation exposures. The proposed changes are consistent with the safety a~ialysis assurr~ptions and resultant consequences.
Therefore, the proposed changes do not involve an increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
- 2. Does the proposed change create the possibility of a new or different accident from any accident previously evaluated?
Response: No.
The proposed changes do not involve a physical alteration of the plant (i.e., no new or different type of equipment will be installed) or a change in the methods governing normal plant operation. The proposed changes do not alter any assumptions made in the safety analysis. Therefore, the proposed changes do not create the possibility of a new or different accident from any accident previously evaluated.
- 3. Does the proposed change involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?
Response: No.
The proposed changes consist of administrative and editorial changes to correct typographical or administrative errors and oversights or clarify the meaning of the TS. The 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 of the design basis. Therefore, the proposed changes do not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
4.4 CONCLUSION
S Based on the considerations discussed above, (I) ,there is reasonable assurance that the Iiealth 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 amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public. Therefore, OPPD concludes that the proposed changes present no 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.
LIC-08-0078 Enclosure Page 10
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
OPPD has evaluated the proposed amendment and has determined that the proposed amendment does 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 amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(~)(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.

TECHIVICAL SPEClFlCATlOlVS 2.0 LIMITING CONDITIONS FOR OPERATION 2.1 Reactor Coolant Svstem 2.1 . I Operable Components Applicability Applies to the operable status of the reactor coolant system components.
Obiective To specify certain conditions of the reactor coolant system components.
Specifications Limiting conditions for operation are as follows:
(1) Reactor Critical All four (4) reactor coolant pumps shall be in operation.
Exceptions The limitations of this specification may be suspended during the performance of physics tests provided the power level is 5 lo-'% of rated power and the flow requirements of Table - M Z ~ No. $ 2 are met.
(2) Hot Shutdown or 350°F 5 Tcold5 515°F (a) The reactor coolant loops listed below shall be operable:
(i) Reactor coolant loop 1 and at least one associated reactor coolant pump.
(ii) Reactor coolant loop 2 and at least one associated reactor coolant pump.
(b) At least one of the above reactor coolant loops shall be in operation.
Exceptions All reactor coolant pumps may be de-energized for up to one hour provided (1) no operations are perrr~ittedthat would cause dilution of the reactor coolant system boron concentration, and (2) core outlet temperature is maintained at least 10°F below saturation temperature.

2.0 LIMITING CONDITIONS FOR OPERATION 2.1 Reactor Coolant System (Continued) 2.1 . I Operable Corr~ponents(Continued)
(12) Reactor Coolant System Pressure Isola.tionValves (a) 'The integrity of all pressure isolation valves listed in Table 29 kPqshall be demonstrated, except as specified in (b). Valve leakage shall not exceed ,the amounts indicated.
(b) In the event that the integrity of any pressure isola.tion valve specified in Table 2-9 cannot be demonstrated, reactor operation may continue, provided that at least two valves in each high pressure line having a nonfunctional valve are in and remain in the mode corresponding to the isolated condition. Manual valves shall be locked in the closed position; motor operated valves shall be placed in the closed position and power supply deenergized.
(c) If Specifications (a) and (b) above cannot be met, an orderly shutdown shall be initiated and .the reactor shall be in the cold shutdown condition within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
Basis The plant is designed to operate with both reactor coolant loops and associated reactor coolant pumps in operation and maintain DNBR above the minimum DNBR limit during all normal operations and anticipated transients. I When Specification 2.1 .I (2) is applicable, the reactor coolant pumps (RCPs) are used to provide forced circulation heat removal during heatup and cooldown. Under these conditions, decay heat removal requirements are low enough that a single reactor coolant system (RCS) loop with one RCP is sufficient to remove core decay heat. However, two RCS loops are required to be OPERABLE to provide redundant paths for decay heat removal. Only one RCP needs to be OPERABLE to declare the associated RCS loop OPERABLE. Reactor coolant natural circulation is not normally used but is sufficient for core cooling. However, natural circulation does not provide turbulent flow conditions. Therefore, boron reduction in natural circulation is prohibited because mixing to obtain a homogeneous concentration in all portions of the RCS cannot be assured.

Objective To specify certain conditions of the reactor coolant system components.
Specifications Limiting conditions for operation are as follows:
(1) Reactor Critical All four (4) reactor coolant pumps shall be in operation.
Exceptions The limitations of this specification may be suspended during the performance of physics tests provided the power level is 5 lo-'% of rated power and the flow requirements of Table 2-1 1 No. 2 are met.
(2) Hot Shutdown or 350°F 5 Tcold5 515°F (a) The reactor coolant loops listed below shall be operable:
(i) Reactor coolant loop 1 and at least one associated reactor coolant pump.
(ii) Reactor coolant loop 2 and at least one associated reactor coolant pump.
(b) At least one of the above reactor coolant loops shall be in operation.
Exceptions All reactor coolant pumps may be de-energized for up to one hour provided (1) no operations are permitted that would cause dilution of the reactor coolant system boron concentration, and (2) core outlet temperature is maintained at least 10°F below saturation temperature.

(12) Reactor Coolant System Pressure Isolation Valves (a) The integrity of all pressure isolation valves listed in Table 2-9 shall be I demonstrated, except as specified in (b). Valve leakage shall not exceed the amounts indicated.
(b) In the event that the integrity of any pressure isolation valve specified in Table 2-9 cannot be demonstrated, reactor operation may continue, provided that at least two valves in each high pressure line having a nonfunctional valve are in and remain in the mode corresponding to the isolated condition. Manual valves shall be locked in the closed position; motor operated valves shall be placed in the closed position and power supply deenergized.
(c) If Specificatio~is(a) and (b) above cannot be met, an orderly shutdown shall be initiated and the reactor shall be in the cold shutdown condition within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
The plant is designed to operate with both reactor coolant loops and associated reactor coolant pumps in operation and maintain DNBR above the minimum DhIBR limit during all normal operations and anticipated transients. I When Specification 2.1 .I (2) is applicable, the reactor coolant pumps (RCPs) are used to provide forced circulation heat removal during heatup and cooldown. Under these conditions, decay heat removal requirements are low enough that a single reactor coolant system (RCS) loop with one RCP is sufficient to remove core decay heat. However, two RCS loops are required to be OPERABLE to provide redundant paths for decay heat removal. Only one RCP needs to be OPERABLE to declare the associated RCS loop OPERABLE. Reactor coolant natural circulation is not normally used but is sufficient for core cooling. However, natural circulation does not provide turbulent flow conditions. Therefore, boron reduction in natural circulation is prohibited because mixing to obtain a homogeneous concentration in all portions of the RCS cannot be assured.
