2.0 PROPOSED CHANGE

S A new Control Room Envelope (CRE) Integrity Program is added to the Technical Specification Administrative Control Programs and Manuals. The administrative control requires the establishment of a new program to ensure CRE integrity is maintained.

3.0 BACKGROUND

The control room is the plant area, defined in the plant licensing basis, from which actions are taken to operate the plant safely under normal conditions and to maintain the reactor in a safe condition during design basis accident situations. The habitability criteria of Criterion 19, Control room, of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power

s Description of Proposed Changes, Technical Analysis, and Regulatory Analysis Page 2 of 6 Plants, or the associated proposed Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) General Design Criteria, dated July 1967 for plants with construction permits issued prior to May 21, 1971, apply to this area. The CRE is the plant area, as defined in the plant licensing basis, that in the event of an emergency, can be isolated from the plant areas and the environment external to the CRE. This area encompasses the control room, and may encompass other non-critical areas to which frequent personnel access or continuous occupancy is not necessary in the event of an accident. The structures that make up the CRE are designed and maintained to limit the inleakage of radioactive and hazardous materials from areas external to the CRE. The primary function of the control room habitability systems is to provide a safe environment in which the operators can control the nuclear reactor and auxiliary systems during normal operations and can safely shut down these systems during abnormal situations to protect the health and safety of the public. The control room must be safe so that operators can remain in the control room to monitor plant performance and take appropriate mitigating actions.

The addition of the Technical Specifications requirement for a CRE Integrity Program is a commitment in Reference 1. Control room habitability must be maintained during normal operations as well as during radiological or hazardous chemical emergencies, or smoke events, as applicable to each plants licensing basis. The proposed Technical Specifications CRE Integrity Program requirement, along with the control room habitability actions and provisions described in Reference 1, provide additional assurance that the control room remains safe for operators to perform required actions under normal and abnormal conditions.

4.0 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

The proposed changes establish a Technical Specifications administrative requirement for each plant to implement and maintain a CRE Integrity Program. The CRE Integrity Program contains several programmatic elements that work together to maintain the control room habitability requirements that are specified in 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, Criterion 19, or the associated proposed Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) General Design Criteria, dated July 1967 for plants with construction permits issued prior to May 21, 1971. The proposed Technical Specifications required CRE Integrity Program utilizes guidance contained in Regulatory Guide 1.196, Control Room Habitability At Light-Water Nuclear Power Reactors, May 2003, and Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 99-03, Control Room Habitability Guidance, Revision 1, dated March 2003, to implement the appropriate programmatic requirements for maintaining control room envelope integrity at each plant.

The proposed Technical Specifications revision incorporates the requirement to establish, implement and maintain the CRE Integrity Program, and specifies the overall scope of the controls to be maintained in the CRE Integrity Program.

Implementation of the CRE Integrity Program will mainly be through the proper control and use of existing and future administrative, operating, and maintenance procedures. Procedures will be reviewed and revised as needed to ensure covered activities adequately address control room habitability concerns. If procedures are changed such that new control room habitability system operating lineups, parameters, or CRE integrity vulnerabilities are introduced, appropriate post-change testing will be specified commensurate with the changes made.

Description of Proposed Changes, Technical Analysis, and Regulatory Analysis Page 3 of 6 All of the affected Exelon/AmerGen nuclear sites have, or will have, performed a tracer gas test to quantify the amount of control room unfiltered inleakage, as described in Reference 1. These baseline tracer gas tests are being performed in accordance with the standard test method described in American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) consensus standard E741, Standard Test Method for Determining Air Change in a Single Zone by Means of a Tracer Gas Dilution. This measured value is then compared to that used in radiological and hazardous chemical consequence analyses, where applicable, to ensure the licensing basis analyses remain bounding. Also as described in Reference 1, tracer gas testing is not required for Oyster Creek since control room air filtration is not assumed in the radiological analyses for the control room operator. Control room differential pressure testing will continue in accordance with individual sites Technical Specifications or other regulatory commitments. Differential pressure testing, performed in conjunction with implementation of the CRE Integrity Program, will ensure that the CRE boundary remains intact. Therefore, routine periodic tracer gas testing is not required.

Maintenance and modification activities will be appropriately controlled. Procedures will be evaluated and revised to ensure that the activitys effect on control room habitability is considered. These activities will be evaluated to determine the type of testing that may be required after completion of the work. Additional testing, including potential re-baseline tracer gas testing may be required, commensurate with the type and quantity of work performed.

Periodic assessments specified in the CRE Integrity Program will track system performance.

These thorough assessments will take all aspects of control room habitability into consideration.

Each individual sites corrective action program will be assessed with regard to the quantity and severity of problems encountered with the control room envelope and habitability systems to determine if additional testing is warranted.

The ExeloniAmerGen CRE Integrity Program will contain process requirements for maintaining control room envelope boundary/breach control, plant procedure control, hazardous chemical control, design change control, CRE integrity testing methods, safety analyses control, maintenance control, and periodic control room habitability assessment and evaluation requirements.

The CRE boundarylbreach control process requirements will assure that boundary breaches are recognized, that uncontrolled breaches to the CRE do not occur and that known breaches do not result in an unanalyzed condition. Procedure control requirements will ensure that potential CRE integrity issues are recognized and appropriately considered when generating or revising plant procedures, and will provide guidance for post-procedure change testing, when appropriate, to ensure that safety analysis assumptions remain valid. Program requirements for hazardous chemical control will include guidance for hazard screening, risk evaluation, control room habitability evaluation, protection measures, emergency planning, and periodic reassessment of offsite chemical hazards. Design control requirements will ensure that CRE integrity issues are appropriately addressed in the design changelconfiguration control processes, and will provide the necessary consideration of control room habitability in post-modification testing criteria to ensure safety analysis assumptions remain valid. The safety analysis controls will ensure that calculation revisions are reviewed for impacts on control room habitability and that safety analysis assumptions are maintained. Maintenance controls will ensure that CRE integrity issues are properly addressed during the performance of plant maintenance activities, and will provide preventive maintenance requirements for CRE boundary Description of Proposed Changes, Technical Analysis, and Regulatory Analysis Page 4 of 6 isolation dampers. Periodic control room habitability assessment requirements will ensure that the plant maintains the control room habitability licensing and design basis, and will ensure the effectiveness of the CRE Integrity Program implementation.

Note that the Byron Station and Braidwood Station administrative program description contains one additional program requirement, in contrast to the other station programs, to verify a positive pressure in all areas of the control room envelope (i.e., TS 5.5.18.d). This requirement is included in the Byron Station and Braidwood Station CRE Integrity Program in support of a future licensing amendment request that will request implementation of the alternate source term (AST) methodology. One of the changes that will be proposed in the future AST amendment request is to delete the requirement to maintain the upper cable spreading room at a positive pressure relative to areas adjacent to the control room area. The AST amendment request is projected to be submitted to the NRC by end of year 2004. Justification for this deletion will refer to the control room envelope positive pressure requirement in the CRE Integrity Program.

This new Technical Specifications requirement will provide additional assurance that control room operators will be adequately protected against radiation, hazardous chemical, and smoke events, as applicable to the plant licensing basis. This, in turn, will further ensure the health and safety of the public for postulated design basis events. Based on the above, the proposed change to incorporate the administrative Technical Specifications requirements for the CRE Integrity Program will not adversely affect nuclear safety or safe plant operations.

5.0 REGULATORY ANALYSIS

5.1 No Significant Hazards Consideration Exelon/AmerGen 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:

I.

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

Response: No The proposed changes do not adversely affect accident initiators or precursors nor alter the design assumptions, conditions, or configuration of the facility. The proposed changes do not alter or prevent the ability of structures, systems, and components (SSCs) from performing their intended function to mitigate the consequences of an initiating event within the assumed acceptance limits. This proposed revision to the Technical Specifications adds a new Control Room Envelope Integrity Program for the control room envelope, which is designed to minimize inleakage and to protect the operator following accidents previously analyzed. The control room envelope integrity is not an initiator or precursor to any accident previously evaluated. Implementing programs that verify the integrity of the control room envelope and control room habitability ensure mitigation features are capable of performing the assumed function.

Therefore, the proposed changes do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

Description of Proposed Changes, Technical Analysis, and Regulatory Analysis Page 5 of 6

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 do not impact the accident analysis. The proposed changes will not alter the requirements of the control room ventilation system or its function during accident conditions. No new or different accidents result from implementing the proposed Control Room Envelope Integrity Program. The changes do not involve a physical alteration of the plant (i.e., no new or different type of equipment will be installed) or a significant change in the methods governing normal plant operation. The changes do not alter assumptions made in the safety analysis and do not impact current plant operating practice. The change will ensure that new hazards are appropriately evaluated for potential impact on control room habitability systems.

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

3.

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

Response: No.

The proposed 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 the design basis for an unacceptable period of time without compensatory measures. The proposed changes do not affect systems that respond to safely shutdown the plant and to maintain the plant in a safe shutdown condition. Therefore, the proposed changes do not involve a significant reduction in any margin of safety.

Based on the above, ExelodAmerGen concludes that the proposed amendment presents 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.

5.2 Applicable Regulatory RequirementsiCriteria The proposed changes will ensure that the requirements contained in 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, GDC 19, or the associated proposed Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) General Design Criteria, dated July 1967 for plants with construction permits issued prior to May 21, 1971, are maintained. The Technical Specifications administrative requirement to implement and maintain the Control Room Envelope Integrity Program fulfills the commitments provided in the ExelonlAmerGen response, dated December 9, 2003, to NRC Generic Letter 2003-01, Control Room Habitability. The new CRE Integrity Program will ensure that control room habitability is maintained. 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 Commissions regulations, and (3) the approval of the proposed change will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.

Description of Proposed Changes, Technical Analysis, and Regulatory Analysis Page 6 of 6 6.0 ENVl RONM ENTAL CONSIDERATION A review has determined that the proposed amendment 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 amendment does not involve (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) a significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluent 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.
