SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO. 194 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. NPF-21 ENERGY NORTHWEST COLUMBIA GENERATING STATION DOCKET NO. 50-397
1.0 INTRODUCTION
By application dated April 19, 2005 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML051190270), Energy Northwest (the licensee) requested changes to the Technical Specifications (TS) (Appendix A to Facility Operating License No. NPF-21) for the Columbia Generating Station (Columbia). The requested change would revise TS testing frequency for the surveillance requirement (SR) in TS 3.1.4, "Control Rod Scram Times."
Specifically, the proposed change would revise the frequency for SR 3.1.4.2, "Control Rod Scram Time Testing," from "120 days cumulative operation in MODE 1" to "200 days cumulative operation in MODE 1."
These changes are based on TS Task Force (TSTF) change traveler no. 460 (TSTF-460),
Revision 0, that has been approved generically for the boiling-water reactor (BWR) Standard TS, NUREG-1433 (BWR/4) and NUREG-1434 (BWR/6), by revising the frequency of SR 3.1.4.2 regarding control rod scram time testing from "120 days cumulative operation in MODE 1" to "200 days cumulative operation in MODE 1." A notice announcing the availability of this proposed TS change using the consolidated line item improvement process was published in the Federal Register on August 23, 2004 (69 FR 51864).
2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
The TS requirement governing the control rod scram time surveillance is intended to assure proper function of control rod insertion. Following each refueling outage, all control rod scram times are verified. In addition, periodically during power operation, a representative sample of control rods is selected to be inserted to verify the insertion speed. A representative sample is defined as a sample containing at least 10 percent of the total number of control rods. The current TS stipulates that no more than 20 percent of the control rods in this representative sample can be "slow" during the post outage testing. With more than 20 percent of the sample declared to be "slow" per the criteria in Table 3.1.4-1, additional control rods are tested until this 20 percent criterion (e.g., 20 percent of the entire sample size) is satisfied, or until the total number of "slow" control rods (throughout the core, from all surveillances) exceeds the limiting condition for operation (LCO) limit. For planned testing, the control rods selected for the sample should be different for each test. The acceptance criterion for at-power surveillance testing has been redefined from 20 percent to 7.5 percent and will be incorporated into the TS
Bases in accordance with its Bases Control Program. This tightened acceptance criterion for at-power surveillance aligns with the TS 3.1.4 requirement for the total control rods allowed to have scram times exceeding the specified limit.
The proposed change does not affect any current operability requirements and the test frequency being revised is not specified in the regulations. As a result, no regulatory requirements or criteria are affected.
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
3.1 Statement of Proposed Changes Energy Northwest TS SR 3.1.4.2 states, "Verify, for a representative sample, each tested control rod scram time is within the limits of Table 3.1.4-1 with reactor steam dome pressure
$800 psig." SR 3.1.4.2 has a frequency of "120 days cumulative operation in MODE 1." The proposed change revises the frequency to "200 days cumulative operation in MODE 1." The TS Basis for SR 3.1.4.2 will be revised to reference the new frequency and to reduce the percentage of the tested rods which can be "slow" from 20 percent to 7.5 percent.
3.2 Evaluation of Proposed Change The control rod insertion (scram) time test results at Energy Northwest have shown the control rod scram rates to be highly reliable. Energy Northwest stated in its submittal dated April 19, 2005, that it has performed a review of the scram time test results since the beginning of 1995 to present. This review determined that 4958 tests had been performed at Columbia. During this timeframe, no control rod has been declared "slow" as a result of the scram time failing to meet the acceptance criteria in TS Table 3.1.4-1 or more restrictive acceptance criteria described in the Core Operating Limit Report, Tables 3.1a, 3.1b, 3.2a, and 3.2b, Note 1. The extensive historical database substantiates the claim of high reliability of the Energy Northwest control rod drive system. The current TS SR 3.1.4.2 requires that a representative sample of control rods be tested every 120 days of cumulative operation in Mode 1. Bases for SR 3.1.4.2 states that a representative sample contains at least 10 percent of the control rods. The current TS Bases also indicates that the acceptance criteria showing that the sample remains representative is met if 20 percent or fewer of the control rods in the sample tested are found to be slow, per the criterion in TS Table 3.1.4-1. This acceptance criterion has been re-defined for at-power surveillance testing from 20 percent to 7.5 percent when the surveillance period is extended to 200 cumulative days of operation in Mode 1. This tightened acceptance criterion for at-power surveillance aligns with the TS 3.1.4 requirement for the total control rods allowed to have scram times exceeding the specified limit. The licensee will incorporate the revised acceptance criterion value of 7.5 percent into the TS Bases in accordance with its Bases Control Program, as a portion of the implementation of this license amendment.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff considers the extended surveillance interval to be justified by the demonstrated reliability of the control rod insertion system, based on historical control rod scram time test data, and by the more restrictive acceptance criterion for determining whether the sample of control rods tested remains representative. Further, the amendment does not change the LCO limits for the number and location of operable control rods that can be slow. Therefore, the NRC staff finds the proposed TS change acceptable.
4.0 STATE CONSULTATION
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Washington State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendment. The State official had no comments.
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
The amendment changes a surveillance requirement. The NRC staff has determined that the amendment involves no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant change in the types, of any effluents 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 the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration and there has been no public comment on such finding (70 FR 33212 dated June 7, 2005).
Accordingly, the amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the 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 the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
