1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, the Commission) dated April 21, 2008 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML081120430), as supplemented by letter dated March 11,2009 (ADAMS Accession No. ML090710424), Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC, the licensee) requested changes to the technical specifications (TSs) for the Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2 (Braidwood), Byron Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 (Byron), Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3 (DI\\IPS),
LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2 (LSCS), Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2 (Limerick), Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3 (PBAPS), and Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2 (QCI\\IPS), and AmerGen Energy Company LLC (AmerGen), requested changes to the TSs for Clinton Power Station, Unit 1(CPS), Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station, (Oyster Creek), and Three Mile Island Station, Unit 1 (TMI-1)
(together, the Facilities).
The March 11, 2009 supplement, contained clarifying information and did not change the NRC staff's initial proposed finding of no significant hazards consideration AmerGen was a wholly-owned SUbsidiary of EGC. On January 8, 2009, EGC eliminated AmerGen and transferred the operating licenses of the AmerGen reactor plants to EGC. By letter dated January 9, 2009, EGC informed the NRC staff that it would assume all current regulatory commitments made for these units, and adopted and endorsed docketed submittals that requested specific licensing actions that were made by AmerGen. EGC also requested that the NRC staff continue to process those pending actions on the schedules previously agreed to by AmerGen.
- 3 The changes proposed in the April 21, 2008, application and the March 11, 2009 supplement, would remove references to and limits provided by the guidance in NRC Generic Letter (GL) 82 12, "Nuclear Power Plant Staff Working Hours," from the administrative controls section of the Facilities'TSs. The regulations in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 26, Subpart I, supersede the guidelines in GL 82-12.
2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
On June 15, 1982, the NRC staff issued GL 82-12, "Nuclear Power Plant Staff Working Hours,"
which was a revision of past guidance and discussions regarding the limitation of work hours to mitigate worker fatigue and the impact of fitness-for-duty on safety. GL 82-12 established overtime guidance for work hours beyond a "normal 8-hour day, 40-hour week." By GL 82-02, "Nuclear Power Plant Staff Working Hours,' dated February 8, 1982, the NRC staff requested that all licensees revise the administrative section of their TSs to require that administrative procedures follow policy guidelines. GL 82-12 invoked this request. References to GL 82-12 were incorporated into the Facilities' TSs in accordance with 10 CFR 50.36, "Technical Specifications."
On April 17, 2007, in SECY-06-0244, titled "Final Rulemaking - 10 CFR Part 26 - Fitness-for Duty Programs" (ADAMS Accession No. ML071070362), the NRC Commissioners approved a final rule amending 10 CFR 26. The regulations in 10 CFR 26, Subpart I of the rule specifically address managing worker fatigue by designating individual break requirements, work hour limits, and annual reporting requirements. The rule was published in the Federal Register on March 31,2008 (73 FR 16966), with a required implementation no later than October 1,2009.
The NRC staff finds that the licensee, in Section 5.2 of its submittal, identified the applicable regulatory requirements. The regulatory requirements for which the NRC staff based its acceptance are 10 CFR Part 26, Subpart I.
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
The NRC staff has reviewed the licensee's regulatory and technical analyses in support of its proposed license amendments which are described in Sections 4.0 and 5.0 of the licensee's submittal. The detailed evaluation below will support the conclusion 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.
The proposed changes remove references to and limits provided by GL 82-12 from the administrative controls sections of the Facilities' TSs. The requirements established by 10 CFR 26, Subpart I, supersede GL 82-12 guidance. Subpart I in 10 CFR 26, strengthens requirements for both work hour controls and fatigue management..Requirements in the rule include work hour limitations for rolling 24-hour, 48-hour, and 7-day periods, which were imposed by GL 82-12. The rule also includes a required minimum break between work periods and varying required minimum days off. Additionally, 10 CFR Part 26, Subpart I restricts the use of waivers used to deviate from requirements, to situations where noncompliance with the regulations is necessary to mitigate or prevent a condition adverse to safety or necessary to
- 4 maintain the security of the facility. The scope of the rule's requirements includes operating and maintenance personnel, as well as those directing operating and maintenance personnel, performing work on risk significant equipment, health physics and chemistry personnel who are a part of the on-site minimum shift complement, the fire brigade leader or advisor, and security personnel.
The proposed changes remove references to and limits provided by GL 82-12 from the administrative controls section of TSs to support compliance with 10 CFR 26, Subpart I. Upon implementation, federal regulations will govern the requirements associated with work hour controls and fatigue management at the Facilities. The work hour controls and fatigue management requirements were incorporated into the Code of Federal Regulations; therefore, it is unnecessary to have work hour control requirements in the administrative control section of TSs. As required by the rule (73 FR 16966), licensees must implement the requirements of 10 CFR 26, Subpart I, no later than October 1, 2009.
The licensee included a regulatory commitment to ensure that work hour limitations are controlled during the period of implementation at each unit. The commitment ensures work hour controls will be in effect continuously, either through the current TS requirements or through the requirements of 10 CFR Part 26, Subpart I, during the period of implementation. Following the implementation period, the requirements of 10 CFR Part 26, Subpart I will be in effect.
The NRC staff concludes that the proposed changes are acceptable, because it removes the unnecessary work hour control requirements in the TSs, and supports the management of worker fatigue by the regulations.
4.0 STATE CONSULTATION
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Illinois, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey State officials were notified of the proposed issuance of the amendment. The State officials had no comments.
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
The amendments change requirements with respect to installation or use of a facility's components located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20. The NRC staff has determined that the amendments involve 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 amendments involve no significant hazards consideration, and there has been no public comment on such finding (73 FR 31721). Accordingly, the amendments meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Pursuant to 10 CFR51.22(b) no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendments.
- 5
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 amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.

On January 8, 2009, the licenses for the AmerGen units were transferred to EGC. By letter dated January 9, 2009, EGC informed the NRC staff that it would assume all previous commitments made for these units, and adopted and endorsed those docketed requests currently before the NRC staff for review and approval. EGC also requested that the NRC staff continue to process those pending actions on the schedules previously requested by AmerGen.
