CALLAWAY PLANT, UNIT 1 - ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENT RE: REVISION TO TS 3.7.3, "MAIN FEEDWATER ISOLATION VALVES (MFIVS) AND MAIN FEEDWATER REGULATING VALVES (MFRVS) AND MAIN FEEDWATER REGULATING VALVE BYPASS VALVES (MFRVBVS)," AND TS 3.3.2, "ENGINEERED SAFETY FEATURE ACTUATION SYSTEM (ESFAS)

INSTRUMENTATION" (TAC NO. ME1325)

Dear Mr. Heflin:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has issued the enclosed Amendment No. 198 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-30 for the Callaway Plant, Unit 1.

The amendment consists of changes to the Technical Specifications (TSs) in response to your application dated May 4, 2009 (ULNRC-05608).

The proposed changes consist of the following:

Revise TS 3.7.3, "Main Feedwater Isolation Valves (MFIVs) and Main Feedwater Regulating Valves (MFRVs) and Main Feedwater Regulating Valve Bypass Valves (MFRVBVs)," so that the Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) and Applicability more accurately reflect the conditions for when the LCO should be applicable and more effectively provide appropriate exceptions to the Applicability for certain valve configurations.

Revise the title of TS 3.7.3 to "Main Feedwater Isolation Valves (MFIVs), Main Feedwater Regulating Valves (MFRVs), and Main Feedwater Regulating Valve Bypass Valves (MFRVBVs)," and the associated page header to "MFIVs, MFRVs, and MFRVBVs."

Revise the exception footnotes in TS 3.3.2, "Engineered Safety Feature Actuation System (ESFAS) Instrumentation," Table 3.3.2-1, in order to improve the application of existing notes and/or incorporate more appropriate notes as applicable.

A. Heflin

1.0 INTRODUCTION

By letter dated May 4, 2009 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML091400202), Union Electric Company, the licensee for Callaway Plant, Unit 1, requested an amendment to Facility Operating License No. NPF-30. The proposed amendment would revise Technical Specification (TS) 3.7.3, "Main Feedwater Isolation Valves (MFIVs) and Main Feedwater Regulating Valves (MFRVs) and Main Feedwater Regulating Valve Bypass Valves (MFRVBVs)," so that the Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) and Applicability more accurately reflect the conditions for when the LCO should be applicable and more effectively provide appropriate exceptions to the Applicability for certain valve configurations. The proposed amendment would also revise the title of TS 3.7.3 to "Main Feedwater Isolation Valves (MFIVs), Main Feedwater Regulating Valves (MFRVs), and Main Feedwater Regulating Valve Bypass Valves (MFRVBVs)," and the associated page header to "MFIVs, MFRVs, and MFRVBVs." In addition, the proposed changes for the exception footnotes in TS 3.3.2, "Engineered Safety Feature Actuation System (ESFAS) Instrumentation,"

Table 3.3.2-1, in order to improve the application of existing notes and/or incorporate more appropriate notes.

2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION

Section 182a of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, requires applicants for licenses to operate nuclear power plants to include TSs as part of the license application. These TSs become part of any license issued and are derived from the plant safety analyses.

The regulations in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Section 50.36, "Technical specifications," in part, contain the requirements for the content of TSs. Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.36, TSs are required to include items in the following categories: (1) safety limits, limiting safety system settings, and limiting control settings; (2) LCOs; (3) surveillance requirements; (4) design features; and (5) administrative controls.

- 2 The regulations in 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii) list four criteria used to determine whether or not LCOs must be established in the TSs for items related to plant operation. If the item meets one or more of the four criteria listed below, an LCO must be established in the TSs to ensure the lowest functional capability or performance level of equipment required for safe operation of the facility will be met. The four criteria are:

Criterion 1. Installed instrumentation that is used to detect, and indicate in the control room, a significant abnormal degradation of the reactor coolant pressure boundary.

Criterion 2. A process variable, design feature, or operating restriction that is an initial condition of a design basis accident or transient analysis that either assumes the failure of or presents a challenge to the integrity of a fission product barrier.

Criterion 3. A structure, system, or component that is part of the primary success path and which functions or actuates to mitigate a design basis accident or transient that either assumes the failure of or presents a challenge to the integrity of a fission product barrier.

Criterion 4. A structure, system, or component which operating experience or probabilistic risk assessment has shown to be significant to public health and safety.

In its application dated May 4,2009, the licensee identified the following General Design Criteria (GDC) in Appendix A to 10 CR Part 50, as being applicable to this amendment request:

GDC-2 requires that structures, systems, and components important to safety be designed to withstand the effects of natural phenomena such as earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, tsunami, and seiches without the loss of the capability to perform their safety functions.

GDC-4 requires that structures, systems, and components important to safety shall be designed to accommodate the effects of and to be compatible with the environmental conditions associated with normal operation, maintenance, testing, and postulated accidents, including loss-of-coolant accidents. These structures, systems, and components shall be appropriately protected against dynamic effects, including the effects of missiles, pipe whipping, and discharging fluids, that may result from equipment failures and from events and conditions outside the nuclear power unit. However, dynamic effects associated with postulated pipe ruptures in nuclear power units may be excluded from the design basis when analyses reviewed and approved by the Commission demonstrate that the probability of fluid system piping rupture is extremely low under conditions consistent with the design basis for the piping.

GDC-13 requires that instrumentation shall be provided to monitor variables and systems over their anticipated ranges for normal operation, for anticipated

- 3 operational occurrences, and for accident conditions as appropriate to assure adequate safety, including those variables and systems that can affect the fission process, the integrity of the reactor core, the reactor coolant pressure boundary, and the containment and its associated systems.

GDC-16 requires that the reactor containment and associated systems shall be provided to establish an essentially leak-tight barer against the uncontrolled release of radioactivity to the environment and to assure that the containment design conditions important to safety are not exceeded for as long as postulated accident conditions require.

GDC-20 requires that the protection system(s) shall be designed (1) to initiate automatically the operation of appropriate systems including the reactivity control systems, to assure that specified acceptable fuel design limits are not exceeded as a result of anticipated operational occurrences and (2) to sense accident conditions and to initiate the operation of systems and components important to safety.

GDC-21 requires that the protection system(s) shall be designed for high functional reliability and testability.

GDC-22 through GDC-25 and GDC-29 require various design attributes for the protection system(s), including independence, safe failure modes, separation from control systems, requirements for reactivity control malfunctions, and protection against anticipated operational occurrences.

GDC-34 requires the capability to remove residual heat, i.e., to transfer fission product decay heat and other residual heat from the reactor core at a rate such that specified acceptable fuel design limits and design conditions of the reactor coolant pressure boundary are not exceeded. The auxiliary feedwater system provides this capability until the RCS is depressurized and the residual heat removal system can perform the function to satisfy this requirement. Isolation of the main feedwater system, i.e., isolation of the non-safety portion from the safety-related portion of the system piping, supports the auxiliary feedwater function.

GDC-50 requires that the reactor containment structure, including access openings, penetrations, and the containment heat removal system shall be designed so that the containment structure and its internal compartments can accommodate, without exceeding the design leakage rate and, with sufficient margin, the calculated pressure and temperature conditions resulting from any loss-of-coolant accident. This margin shall reflect consideration of (1) the effects of potential energy sources which have not been included in the determination of the peak conditions, such as energy in steam generators and energy from metal water and other chemical reactions that may result from degraded emergency core cooling functioning, (2) the limited experience and experimental data available for defining accident phenomena and containment responses, and (3) the conservatism of the calculational model and input parameters.

- 4 GDC-53 requires that the reactor containment shall be designed to permit (1) appropriate periodic inspection of all important areas, such as penetrations, (2) an appropriate surveillance program, and (3) periodic testing at containment design pressure of the leaktightness of penetrations which have resilient seals and expansion bellows.

GDC-54 requires that piping systems penetrating primary reactor containment shall be provided with leak detection, isolation, and containment capabilities having redundancy, reliability, and performance capabilities which reflect the importance to safety of isolating these piping systems. Such piping systems shall be designed with a capability to test periodically the operability of the isolation valves and associated apparatus and to determine if valve leakage is within acceptable limits.

GDC-57 requires that each line that penetrates primary reactor containment and is neither part of the reactor coolant pressure boundary nor connected directly to the containment atmosphere shall have at least one containment isolation valve which shall be either automatic, or locked closed, or capable of remote manual operation. This valve shall be outside the containment and located as close to the containment as practical. A simple check valve may not be used as the automatic isolation valve.

The regulations in 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2) specify that, when an LCO of a nuclear reactor plant is not met, the licensee shall shut down the reactor or follow any remedial action permitted by the technical specification until the condition can be met.

3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION

3.1

System Description

The following system description was provided by the licensee in Section 3.0 of Attachment 1 to the license amendment request to aid the technical evaluation of the requested changes.

The MFIVs isolate main feedwater flow to the secondary side of the steam generators following a high energy line break. The MFRVs and MFRVBVs function to control feedwater flow to the steam generators and to provide backup isolation of main feedwater flow in the event an MFIV fails to close. Because an earthquake is not assumed to occur coincident with a spontaneous break of safety related secondary piping, loss of the non-safety grade MFRVs and MFRVBVs is not assumed. If the single active failure postulated for a secondary pipe break is the failure of a safety grade MFIV to close, then credit is taken for closing the non-safety grade MFRVs and MFRVBVs.

- 5 Feedwater is supplied to the four steam generators by four feedwater lines. One MFIV and one MFRV are installed in each of the four feedwater lines outside but close to containment. The MFRVBVs are located in six-inch lines that bypass flow around the MFRVs when in service. For each feedwater line, the MFIV is located downstream of the MFRV and MFRVBV.

The MFIV is a 14-inch gate valve with a system-medium actuator. The MFRV is an air-operated angle valve which automatically controls main feedwater flow between 20 percent and full power. The MFRVBV is an air-operated globe valve, which is normally used up to 25 percent power. It is normally closed during plant power operation above 25 percent power, but may be occasionally open to support maintenance, post-maintenance testing, or other plant activities.

As shown in FSAR Figure 10.4-6 (Sheet 1 and 2), an MFIV cannot be isolated with closed manual valves; the MFRV can be isolated upstream by a closed manual valve; and the MFRVBV can be isolated both upstream and downstream with a closed manual valve.

Closure of the MFIVs or MFRVs and MFRVBVs terminates flow to the steam generators, thereby terminating the event for feedwater line breaks occurring upstream of the MFIVs or MFRVs and MFRVBVs. Since the MFIVs are located upsteam of the point where the auxiliary feedwater lines connect to the main feedwater check valves (located in containment), closure of the MFIVs or the MFRVs and MFRVBVs ensures delivery of auxiliary feedwater to the steam generators for support of the auxiliary feedwater specified safety function.

Similarly, the consequences of events occurring in the main steam lines or in the main feedwater lines downstream of the MFIVs will be mitigated by valve closure.

Closure of the MFIVs or MFRVs and MFRVBVs effectively terminates the addition of feedwater to an affected steam generator and limits the mass and energy release for main steam line breaks or feedwater line breaks inside containment.

The MFIVs and MFRVs and MFRVBVs close on receipt of any safety injection signal, a Tavg [average reactor coolant system temperature] -

Low coincident with reactor trip [permissive] (P-4) (not credited in any accident analysis), a low low steam generator level, or steam generator water level -

high-high signal.

The MFIVs may also be actuated manually.

In addition to the licensee's system discussion of actuation signals above, Section 7.3.7 of Revision 14 to the Callaway Plant Final Safety Analysis Report describes the Main Steam and Feedwater Isolation System (MSFIS). This system uses a signal from the solid state protection system (SSPS) to actuate the main steam isolation valves (MSIVs) and the MFIVs. The system actuates neither the MFRVs nor the MFRVBVs. The MSFIS actuates on low steam line pressure, high steam line negative pressure rate, high-high containment pressure, or manual initiation.

3.2 Proposed TS Changes

The NRC staff reviewed the proposed changes for compliance with 10 CFR 50.36. The following is the NRC staff's detailed evaluation of the licensee's proposed changes to the TSs.

3.2.1 TS 3.7.3, "MFIVs, MFRVs, and MFRV Bypass Valves" In its application dated May 4,2009, the licensee proposed the following changes to TS 3.7.3:

editorial changes to the title; clarification that the LCO defines the lowest functional capability necessary for isolation of each feedwater line; modification of the LCO applicability to clearly indicate each valve is required to be operable in Modes 1,2, and 3, unless the valve is closed and deactivated or the line is otherwise isolated; modify a note to specify that separate condition entry is allowed for each line rather than each valve; and editorial changes to the required action for an inoperable MFRVBV.

These changes include the following specific, substantive changes to TS 3.7.3:

Current TS 3.7.3 LCO states:

Four MFIVs, four MFRVs, and four MFRVBVs shall be OPERABLE.

Revised TS 3.7.3 LCO would state:

The MFIV, MFRV, and MFRVBV in each of the four main feedwater lines shall be OPERABLE.

Current TS 3.7.3 Applicability states:

MODES 1, 2, and 3 except when:

a.

MFIV is closed and de-activated; or

b.

MFRV is closed and de-activated or closed and isolated by a closed manual valve; or

c.

MFRVBV is closed and de-activated, or closed and isolated by a closed manual valve, or isolated by two closed manual valves.

- 7 The revised TS 3.7.3 Applicability would state:

For the MFIV in each main feedwater line:

MODES 1, 2, and 3 except when:

a.

The MFIV is closed and de-activated; or

b.

The MFRV is closed and de-activated or closed and isolated by a closed manual valve; and the MFRVBV is closed and de-activated, or closed and isolated by a closed manual valve, or isolated by two closed manual valves.

For the MFRV in each main feedwater line:

MODES 1, 2, and 3 except when:

a.

The MFIV is closed and de-activated; or

b.

The MFRV is closed and de-activated or closed and isolated by a closed manual valve.

For the MFRVBV in each main feedwater line:

MODES 1, 2, and 3 except when:

a.

The MFIV is closed and de-activated; or

b.

The MFRVBV is closed and de-activated, or closed and isolated by a closed manual valve, or isolated by two closed manual valves.

Current Note applicable to the Conditions and Required Actions for TS 3.7.3 states:

Separate Condition entry is allowed for each valve.

The revised Note would state:

Separate Condition entry is allowed for each main feedwater line.

The proposed changes to the LCO, Note, and Required Actions clarify the Applicability for each main feedwater line. For each feedwater line, the MFIV serves as one isolation barrier and the combination of the MFRV and MFRVBV (which are in parallel) serve as the other barrier. Thus, the proposed changes to the LCO Applicability more clearly designate the conditions where operability of the specified valve is necessary to accomplish the safety function for each specified feedwater line. By requiring valve operability, unless the affected valve is closed and

- 8 deactivated or the line is otherwise isolated by redundant means, the applicability appropriately considers a single active component failure. When the safety function of the valve in isolating the feedwater line is accomplished in a reliable manner, the valve itself need not be operable for automatic isolation. Thus, the changes to TS 3.7.3 maintain the LCO required by 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2) and specify appropriate remedial actions when the LCO is not met. Therefore, the changes to the LCO Applicability are acceptable.

The licensee also proposed two minor changes to the title and page header for TS 3.7.3. The staff found these changes to be editorial in nature. Therefore, these changes are acceptable.

3.2.2 TS 3.3.2, "Engineered Safety Feature Actuation System (ESFAS)

Instrumentation" In its application dated May 4, 2009, the licensee proposed the following changes to TS 3.3.2, Table 3.3.2-1, "Engineered Safety Feature Actuation System Instrumentation":

Replace exception footnote U) in TS Table 3.3.2-1 Function 5.b, which applies to automatic actuation logic and actuation relays for the MSFIS, with new exception footnote (I).

New exception footnote (I) will state, "when all MFIVs are closed and de activated."

Existing footnote U) allows an exception to the applicability of the function when the safety function is satisfied by all valves being closed and deactivated or the safety function of the valve is otherwise being assured.

Because the MFRVs and the MFRVBVs do not receive the MSFIS signal, the existing footnote U) is not correct for the feedwater isolation function related to the MSFIS; therefore, TS Table 3.3.2-1, Function 5.b, which applies to automatic actuation logic and actuation relays for the MSFIS, would be revised to incorporate new footnote (I) applicable to all modes.

Existing exception footnote (j) will be applied to MODE 1 for the applicable sub parts of Function 5, "Turbine Trip and Feedwater Isolation."

In addition, Applicability exceptions for turbine trip and feedwater isolation after a safety injection signal (Function 5.d) should also reflect footnote (j). Accordingly, the Function 5.d, "Safety Injection," statement will include a sentence that reads, "The Applicability exceptions of Footnote (j) also apply to Function 5.d."

The current Function 5 and the revised Function 5 are provided in the following tables:

5. 2.0 psig Footnote (I) would make an exception for operability of the MSFIS feedwater isolation logic and actuation when all MFIVs are closed and deactivated. The licensee had reviewed the logic schematic drawings for the MFRVs and MFRVBVs and determined that the closing signal from the SSPS cabinets for main feedline isolation goes through reactor protection auxiliary relay racks, which are separate from the MSFIS that actuates the MFIVs. The MSFIS cabinets only provide signal processing for the MFIVs. Because the MFRVs and the MFRVBVs do not receive the MSFIS signal, the existing footnote (j) is not correct for the feedwater isolation function related to the MSFIS. Footnote (I) applies when the safety function of the MFIVs is already assured (Le., all MFIVs are closed and deactivated) and the MFIV isolation signal addressed by Function 5.b is not required. Therefore, NRC staff concludes the proposed replacement of footnote (j) with footnote (I) for Function 5.b (MSFIS) is acceptable.

- 11 Because the exception footnotes in TS Table 3.3.2-1 should be consistent with the exceptions allowed in the TS3.7.3 Applicability for the MFIVs, MFRVs, and MFRVBVs, the NRC staff concludes the proposed changes to TS Table 3.3.2-1 are acceptable.

3.3

NRC Staff Evaluation

Based on the above, the NRC staff concludes that the proposed changes to TS 3.7.3 are conservative, because the changes more clearly define the conditions for Applicability of the TS for all three sets of valves (MFIVs, MFRVs, and MFRVBVs) performing the main feedwater isolation function, and, therefore, satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36. The staff also concludes that the proposed changes to TS 3.3.2 Applicability for the feedwater isolation function were acceptable because the changes accurately aligned the Applicability of the actuation instrumentation TSs with the Applicability of the associated valve TSs.

4.0 STATE CONSULTATIOI'J In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Missouri 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 requirement with respect to the installation or use of a facility component 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 Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration as published in the Federal Register on August 25, 2009 (74 FR 42932), and there has been no public comment on such finding. 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.
