1.0 INTRODUCTION
In an application dated December 19, 2002, and supplemented July 25, 2003, Nuclear Management Company (NMC or the licensee) proposed changes to the technical specifications (TSs) for the Kewaunee Nuclear Power Plant. The supplemental letter contained clarifying information and did not change the initial no significant hazards consideration determination and did not expand the scope of the original Federal Register notice.
NMC proposed to extend the reporting requirement, following each in-service inspection during which steam generator tubes were plugged, from within 30 days to within 60 days, and the notification of degraded steam generator tubes (C-3 category) from 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> to 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />. The proposed changes are consistent with currently approved Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff positions as noted in 10 CFR 50.72, 10 CFR 50.73 and NUREG-1022, Revision 2, Event Reporting Guidelines 10 CFR 50.72 and 50.73."
2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
2.1 Proposed Change to TS 4.2.b.7.a TS 4.2.b.7.a currently states that Following each in-service inspection of steam generator tubes during which tubes are plugged, the number of tubes plugged shall be reported to the Commission within 30 days. NMC proposed to extend the reporting period to within 60 days after steam generator in-service inspection to be consistent with the reporting period listed in 10 CFR 50.73, License Event Report System.
In a request for additional information dated June 13, 2003, the NRC staff requested NMC to cite and explain the specific subparagraph in 10 CFR 50.73 that is applicable to the tube plugging report. The NRC staff also requested clarification on the starting point of the 60-day reporting period.
In the July 25, 2003, response, NMC stated that the applicable subparagraph was 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(ii)(A), which states that the licensee shall report, within 60 days after the discovery of the event, any event or condition that resulted in the condition of the nuclear power plant, including its principal safety barriers, being seriously degraded.
This determination is further clarified in the NRC report, NUREG-1022, Revision 2, Event Reporting Guidelines 10 CFR 50.72 and 50.73." NUREG-1022 states that the 60-day reporting criterion applies to material (e.g., metallurgical or chemical) problems that cause abnormal degradation of or stress upon the principal safety barriers (i.e., the fuel cladding, reactor coolant system pressure boundary, or the containment). Additionally, NUREG-1022 states that an example of a reportable event include serious steam generator tube degradation.
2.2 Proposed Change to TS 4.2.b.7.c TS 4.2.b.7.c currently states that If a steam generator tube inspection result falls into Category C-3, the Commission shall be promptly (within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />) notified according to requirements of 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(ii).... NMC proposed to replace 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(ii) in the above requirement with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii) and delete the paranthetical phrase (within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />).
The regulation at 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii) requires notification be made within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />; therefore, this will extend the current TS reporting requirement for the C-3 category notification.
The C-3 category is defined in the Kewaunee TS as ...More than 10 percent of the total tubes inspected are degraded tubes or more than 1 percent of the inspected tubes are defective...
The degraded tube is defined as a tube containing degradation greater than or equal to 20 percent of the nominal wall thickness. A defect is defined as ...an imperfection that violates criteria [the plugging limit] used to determine acceptability of a tube for continued use in operation...
In the July 25, 2003, response to the NRC staffs question regarding the applicability of 10 CFR 50.72 to the C-3 category notification, NMC stated that 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(A) is applicable to the C-3 category notification. This subparagraph states that the licensee shall notify the NRC as soon as practical and in all cases within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> of the occurrence of any event or condition that results in the condition of the nuclear power plant, including its principal safety barriers, being seriously degraded.
NMC stated that the applicability of this subparagraph can also be found in NUREG-1022, Revision 2. In Table 2 of NUREG-1022, it is stated that an 8-hour report is required for the seriously degraded principal safety barriers in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii). Also, in the NRCs safety evaluation for Kewaunee TS Amendment No. 73, dated April 1, 1987, the NRC staff stated that Category C-3 inspection results are considered abnormal degradation to a principal safety barrier and are, therefore, reportable under 10 CFR 50.72.
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
3.1 Proposed Change to TS 4.2.b.7.a NMC will submit a license event report (i.e., the tube plugging report) within 60 days from the completion of the eddy current data analysis of the steam generator inspection results following each in-service inspection of steam generator tubes during which tubes are plugged. NMC noted that a logical date to start the reporting period is upon completion of the eddy current analysis, since a complete listing of tubes required to be plugged is not finalized until this point.
This is consistent with the current plant TSs.
The NRC staff finds the proposed change to TS 4.2.b.7.a acceptable because the proposed change will result in the steam generator inspection results being submitted to the NRC in a reasonably early period of plants operating cycle.
3.2 Proposed Change to TS 4.2.b.7.c NMC stated that if the Kewaunee steam generator inspection analysis resulted in categorizing a steam generator as C-3, the NRC would be notified within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />. Since the plant is in a shutdown condition during steam generator inspections, with the steam generators isolated from the reactor coolant and not providing any safety function, immediate followup notification to the NRC is not needed and reporting of inspection results to the NRC within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> is reasonable.
The NRC staff finds that the proposed changes to TS 4.2.b.7.c are acceptable because the changes will result in the steam generator inspection information being submitted to the NRC in a timely manner.
3.3 Conclusion The NRC staff finds that NMCs proposed changes to TS 4.2.b.7.a and TS 4.2.b.7.c satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR 50.72 and 10 CFR 50.73 and are, therefore, acceptable.
4.0 STATE CONSULTATION
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Wisconsin State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendment. The State official had no comments.
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
This amendment changes a reporting requirement. The staff has determined that the amendment involves no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant change in the types, of any effluent that may be released offsite and that there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that this amendment involves no significant hazards consideration and there has been no public comment on such finding (68 FR 2807). Accordingly, this amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b) no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of this amendment.
6.0 CONCLUSION
The Commission has concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that: (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 this amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
