ENCLOSURE I DESCRIPTION AND ASSESSMENT
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The proposed amendment deletes Technical Specification requirements for an annual occupational radiation exposure report and for a monthly operating report of operating statistics and shutdown experience.
The changes are consistent with Revision 1 of NRC-approved Industry/Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF) Standard Technical Specification Change Traveler, TSTF-369, "Removal of Monthly Operating Report and Occupational Radiation Exposure Report." The availability of this Technical Specification improvement was announced in the Federal Register on June 23, 2004, as part of the consolidated line item improvement process (CLIIP).
2.0 DESCRIPTION
OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT The proposed changes are consistent with the NRC approved Revision I of TSTF-369. The requirement to submit a Monthly Operating Report (MOR) is deleted based on a commitment to report the same operating data using an industry database. The requirement to submit an Occupational Radiation Exposure Report (ORER) is deleted.
As addressed in the safety evaluation published in the Notice of Availability for TSTF-369, NMC is proposing to adopt a part of NRC approved Revision 4 to TSTF-258, "Changes to Section 5.0, Administrative Controls" for the Kewaunee Nuclear Power Plant (DPR-43) and the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant (DPR-22). Specifically, the Kewaunee Nuclear Power Plant Technical Specifications (TS) include a requirement to report challenges to and failures of the pressurizer power operated relief valves and safety relief valves; the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant TS include a requirement to report safety/relief valve failures and challenges.
The NRC model safety evaluation addressed the removal of requirements to submit monthly operating reports in those cases where the TS include a requirement to address challenges to relief and safety valves (i.e., if a licensee had not yet adopted the associated part of TSTF-258). The proposed changes to the Kewaunee Nuclear Power Plant TS and the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant TS are consistent with the documentation for both TSTF-369 and the limited portion of TSTF-258 included in this application.
The proposed changes for each of the NMC sites included in this license amendment are described in the following Table:

3.0 BACKGROUND
The background for this application is adequately addressed by the NRC Notice of Availability published on June 23, 2004 (69 FR 35067) and TSTF-369.
4.0 REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS AND GUIDANCE The applicable regulatory requirements and guidance associated with this application are adequately addressed by the NRC Notice of Availability published on June 23, 2004 (69 FR 35067) and TSTF-369.
5.0 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
NMC has reviewed the safety evaluation (SE) published on June 23, 2004 (69 FR 35067) as part of the CLIIP Notice of Availability. This verification included a review of the NRC staffs SE, and the supporting information provided to support TSTF-369. NMC has concluded that the justifications presented in the TSTF proposal and the SE prepared by the NRC staff are applicable to each of the Page 2 of 4
Enclosure I to L-HU-04-033 facilities identified in this amendment request and justify this amendment for the incorporation of the changes to each facility's TS.
6.0 REGULATORY ANALYSIS
A description of this proposed change and its relationship to applicable regulatory requirements and guidance was provided in the NRC Notice of Availability published on June 23, 2004 (69 FR 35067) and TSTF-369.
Verification and Commitments As discussed in the model SE published in the Federal Register on June 23, 2004 (69 FR 35067) for this TS improvement, NMC is making the following regulatory commitment:
NMC is making a regulatory commitment that each facility provide to the NRC, using an industry database the operating data (for each calendar month) that is described in Generic Letter 97-02, "Revised Contents of the Monthly Operating Report," by the last day of the month following the end of each calendar quarter. The regulatory commitment will be based on use of an industry database (e.g., the industry's Consolidated Data Entry (CDE) program, currently being developed and maintained by the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations). This regulatory commitment will be implemented to prevent any gaps in the monthly operating statistics and shutdown experience provided to the NRC (i.e., data for all months will be provided using one or both systems (monthly operating reports and CDE)).
No NMC facility described in this license amendment has different reactor types and no facility has both operating and shutdown reactors.
7.0 NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION NMC has reviewed the proposed no significant hazards consideration determination published in the Federal Register on June 23, 2004 (69 FR 35067) as part of the CLIIP. NMC has concluded that the proposed determination presented in the Federal Register notice is applicable to each of the facilities identified in this amendment request and the determination is hereby incorporated by reference to satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR 50.91(a).
8.0 ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION NMC has reviewed the environmental evaluation included in the model SE published on June 23, 2004 (69 FR 35067) as part of the CLIIP. NMC has concluded that the NRC staff's findings presented in that evaluation are applicable to each of the facilities identified in this amendment request and the evaluation is hereby incorporated by reference for this application.

When an initial assumed power level of 102% of the original rated power is specified in a previously approved method, 100.6% of uprated power may be used only when the main feedwater flow measurement (used as the input for reactor thermal output) is provided by the Crossflow ultrasonic flow measurement system (Crossflow system) as described in report (15) listed below. When main feedwater flow measurements from the Crossflow System are unavailable, a power measurement uncertainty consistent with the instrumentation used shall be applied.
Future revisions of approved analytical methods listed in this Technical Specification that currently reference the original Appendix K uncertainty of 102% of the original rated power should include the condition given above allowing use of 100.6% of uprated power in the safety analysis methodology when the Crossflow system is used for main feedwater flow measurement.

5.6.7 Steam Generator Tube Inspection Report
- 1. Following each in-service inspection of steam generator tubes, if there are any tubes requiring plugging or sleeving, the number of tubes plugged or sleeved in each steam generator shall be reported to the Commission within 15 days.
- 2.
The results of steam generator tube in-service inspections shall be included with the summary reports of ASME Code Section XI inspections submitted within 90 days of the end of each refueling outage. Results of steam generator tube in-service inspections not associated with a refueling outage shall be submitted within 90 days of the completion of the inspection. These reports shall include: (1) number and extent of tubes inspected, (2) location and percent of wall-thickness penetration for each indication of an imperfection, and (3) identification of tubes plugged or sleeved.

- 3.
Results of steam generator tube inspections which fall into Category C-3 require notification to the Commission prior to resumption of plant operation, and reporting as a special report to the Commission within 30 days. This special report shall provide a description of investigations conducted to determine cause of the tube degradation and corrective measures taken to prevent recurrence.
- 4.
The results of inspections performed under Specification 5.5.8.b for all tubes that have defects below the F* or EF* distance, and were not plugged, shall be reported to the Commission within 15 days following the inspection. The report shall include:
- a.
Identification of F* and EF* tubes, and
- b.
Location and extent of degradation.
- 5.
For implementation of the voltage-based repair criteria to tube support plate intersections, notify the NRC staff prior to returning the steam generators to service should any of the following conditions arise:
- a.
If estimated leakage based on the projected end-of-cycle (or if not practical, using the actual measured end-of-cycle) voltage distribution exceeds the leak limit (determined from the licensing basis dose calculation for the postulated main steamline break) for the next operating cycle.
- b. If circumferential crack-like indications are detected at the tube support plate intersections.
- c.
If indications are identified that extend beyond the confines of the tube support plate.
- d.
If indications are identified at the tube support plate elevations that are attributable to primary water stress corrosion cracking.
