DOCKET NOS. 50-315 AND 50-316

1.0 INTRODUCTION

By application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) dated March 7, 2006 (Accession No. ML060760532), as supplemented by letter dated August 3, 2006 (Accession No. ML062200241), Indiana Michigan Power Company (I&M, the licensee) proposed changes to the Technical Specifications (TSs) for DCCNP-1 and DCCNP-2. The changes would increase the power level required for a reactor trip following a turbine trip signal. The current TS requires a reactor trip when a turbine trip signal occurs and the reactor power is equal to or greater than 10 percent of the rated thermal power (RTP). It also requires that the automatic reactor trip on a turbine trip signal be blocked when the reactor power decreases below 10 percent RTP. The licensee proposed to change the requirement so that the anticipatory reactor trip on turbine trip shall be unblocked at 31 percent RTP (i.e., at the P-8 setpoint). The change would allow the licensee to implement an interlock system at the units to block reactor trips on turbine trips for reactor power levels below 31 percent RTP. Since many turbine trips occur at low power levels, the proposed TS would decrease the frequency of unnecessary challenges to the reactor protection system and thereby increase plant availability.

The licensees August 3, 2006, 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.

2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION

The licensees proposal to interlock this automatic reactor trip on turbine trip function with P-8 (about 31 percent RTP) has been implemented at several other nuclear power plants. Four examples are listed in the table below:

Plant Name P-7 P-8 Byron/Braidwood Units 1 and 2 (1987) 10% RTP 30% RTP Salem (1988) 11% RTP 36% RTP North Anna Units 1 and 2 (1989) 8% RTP 30% RTP Indian Point Unit 3 (1999) 10% RTP 50% RTP The reactor trip, when it is demanded by a turbine trip, is not assumed to occur in accident analyses, since the turbine trip signal originates in a non-seismically qualified area (the turbine building). However, the load rejection or turbine trip event is evaluated in order to address Three Mile Island (TMI) Action Item II.K.3.10 in NUREG-0737 (Reference 7), which states that:

The anticipatory trip modification proposed by some licensees to confine the range of use to high-power levels should not be made until it has been shown on a plant-by-plant basis that the probability of a small-break loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) resulting from a stuck-open power-operated relief valve (PORV) is substantially unaffected by the modification.

3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION

3.1 Evaluation of the Licensees Analyses DCCNP-1 and DCCNP-2 are four-loop, Westinghouse-designed pressurized-water reactors that were licensed to operate on October 25, 1974, and December 23, 1977, respectively. The proposed change would raise the threshold power level above which the reactor will automatically be tripped in the event of a turbine trip. The licensee proposed to raise this threshold from about 10 percent of RTP to about 31 percent of of RTP. The licensee believes this change would result in a reduction in the frequency of unnecessary reactor trips when operating in the 10 percent to 31 percent RTP range.

To address TMI Action Item II.K.3.10, the licensee analyzed the turbine trip without a reactor trip transient, initiated from 31-percent power, using Westinghouses NRC-approved LOFTRAN code (Reference 8). The NRC previously approved LOFTRAN to allow Westinghouse to analyze system responses to non-LOCA events for conventional Westinghouse PWRs.

LOFTRAN simulates a multiloop system using a model containing a reactor vessel, hot- and cold-leg piping, steam generators, and a pressurizer. The use of LOFTRAN is conservative because comparison studies have shown that LOFTRAN overpredicts pressurizer pressure during pressure-increase transients. This turbine trip scenario is the event that is most affected by the proposed modification.

The licensees analyses indicate that the reactor coolant system (RCS) pressure increase, caused by the load rejection or turbine trip, would not be high enough to cause any of the PORVs to open. Therefore, the probability of a small-break LOCA resulting from a stuck-open PORV is not affected by the proposed modification.

The licensee also verified that the proposed modification has no effect upon the following events:

1. Uncontrolled rod cluster control assembly (RCCA) bank withdrawal from a subcritical condition
2. Uncontrolled RCCA bank withdrawal at power
3. RCCA misalignment
4. Chemical and volume control system (CVCS) malfunction
5. Loss of reactor coolant flow
6. Startup of inactive reactor coolant loop
7. Loss of external electrical load (from full power)
8. Loss of normal feedwater flow
9. Excessive heat removal due to feedwater system malfunctions
10. Excessive load increase incident
11. Loss of all alternating current power to the plant auxiliaries
12. Steam generator tube rupture
13. Rupture of a steam pipe
14. Rupture of a control rod mechanism housing (RCCA ejection)
15. Major rupture of main feedwater pipe (Unit 2 only)
16. LOCA and LOCA-related analyses
17. Containment integrity evaluation (short-term and long-term)
18. Main steamline break mass and energy release analyses The licensee did not evaluate the effect of the proposed modification upon the following events because these events are not in the licensing basis for DCCNP-2 (References 9 and 10)1:
a. Reactor coolant pump shaft break
b. Single RCCA withdrawal
c. Inadvertent loading and operation of a fuel assembly in an improper position
d. Inadvertent actuation of the emergency core cooling system that increases RCS inventory
e. Inadvertent actuation of the CVCS that increases RCS inventory
f. Inadvertent opening of a pressurizer PORV
g. Radiological consequences of failure of small lines carrying primary coolant outside containment These events, like the events that have been considered above, do not rely upon the reactor trip on turbine trip for protection. Therefore, they are unaffected by the proposed modification.

Although the two mass addition events (d and e above) could lead to the opening of one or more PORVs with the pressurizer in a water-solid condition, they would not be affected by the proposed change in the reactor trip on turbine trip interlock setting.

Based upon the NRC staffs previous evaluation of the plants referenced in Section 2.0 herein, which are similar in design to the D. C. Cook units, the NRC staff concluded that the above referenced transients are not affected by the proposed increase in power level required for a reactor trip following a turbine signal for DCCNP Units 1 and 2.

1 Because the above referenced transients were not part of the DCCNP-2 design-basis, they were also not considered for DCCNP-1.

3.2 Evaluation of Proposed TS Changes The licensee proposes to modify Table 3.3.1-1 of TS 3.3.1, Reactor Trip System Instrumentation, for both DCCNP-1 and DCCNP-2, changing turbine trip from low fluid oil pressure (Function 16.a) or from closure of the turbine stop valve (Function 16.b), to be applicable at Mode 1 when power levels are above the P-8 setting, rather than the current P-7 setting. This change is acceptable, since it is consistent with the evaluation in Section 3.1 above.

The licensee proposes to modify Condition N of TS 3.3.1, deleting references to Functions 16.a and 16.b from the list of functions which require entry into Condition N (i.e., reduce power to less than P-7) if the required action and associated completion time of Condition D is not met.

As stated in the above paragraph, Functions 16.a and 16.b are being modified to refer to P-8 instead of P-7. This change is acceptable, since it is consistent with the evaluation in Section 3.1 above.

The licensee proposes to add a new Condition O, which specifies that if [r]equired Action and associated Completion Time of condition D not met for Function 16.a and 16.b, reduce thermal power to less than P-8. This change is acceptable, since it is consistent with the evaluation in Section 3.1 above.

The licensee proposed to re-number existing Conditions O, P, and Q to P, Q, and R due to introduction of the new Condition O above. This change is purely editorial and acceptable.

3.3 Summary of Technical Review The licensee has shown, to the satisfaction of the NRC staff, that shifting the reactor trip on turbine trip interlock from P-7 to P-8 will not impact any of the accident analyses in the DCCNP-1 and DCCNP-2 licensing bases. Furthermore, the change will not impact any of the seven events/analyses (i.e., a - g above) that are identified as being absent from the units licensing bases. The licensee has also evaluated the effect of the change upon TMI action Item II.K.3.10, regarding a stuck open PORV, and found acceptable results. Therefore, the licensees proposal to change the reactor trip on turbine trip interlock from P-7 to P-8 is acceptable.

4.0 STATE CONSULTATION

In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Michigan State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendment. The State official had no comments.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

The amendment changes requirements with respect to use of facility components located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20. 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 NRC has previously issued a proposed finding that the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration and there has been no public comment on such finding (71 FR 23956). 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 NRC staff 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.
