ME3363 AND ME3364)
Dear Mr. Pacilio:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has issued the enclosed Amendment No. 200 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-11 and Amendment No. 187 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-18 for the LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2, respectively. The amendments are in response to your application dated February 15, 2010 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML100480009), as supplemented by letters dated April 26, June 23, and August 3, 2010 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML101160374, ML101750102, and ML110390169, respectively).
The requested change is the adoption of Nuclear Regulatory Commission-approved Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF-425), Revision 3, "Relocate Surveillance Frequencies to Licensee Control-RITSTF Initiative 5b." When implemented, TSTF-425 relocates most periodic frequencies of Technical Specification (TS) surveillances to a licensee-controlled program, the Surveillance Frequency Control Program, and provides requirements for the new program in the Administrative Controls section of the TS.
A copy of the Safety Evaluation is also enclosed. The Notice of Issuance will be included in the Commission'S biweekly Federal Register notice.
Sincerely, IRA!

NPF-11 AND AMENDMENT NO. 187 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. NPF-18 EXELON GENERATION COMPANY, LLC LASALLE COUNTY STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-373 AND 50-374
1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, the Commission) dated February 15, 2010 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML100480009), as supplemented by letters dated April 26, 2010 (ADAMS Accession No. ML101160374), June 23,2010 (ADAMS Accession No. ML101750102), and August 3,2010 (ADAMS Accession No. ML110390169) Exelon Generation Company, LLC (the licensee),
requested changes to the technical specifications (TSs) for LaSalle County Station (LSCS),
Units 1 and 2. The April 26, June 23, and August 3, 2010, supplements, contained clarifying information and did not change the NRC staff's initial proposed 'finding of no significant hazards consideration published in the Federal Register (75 FR 20636, April 20, 2010).
The requested change is the adoption of NRC-approved Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF-425), Revision 3, "Relocate Surveillance Frequencies to Licensee Control-RITSTF Initiative 5b." When implemented, TSTF-425 relocates most periodic frequencies of TS surveillances to a licensee controlled program, the Surveillance Frequency Control Program (SFCP), and provides requirements for the new program in the Administrative Controls section of the TS. All surveillance frequencies can be relocated except:
- Frequencies that reference other approved programs for the specific interval (such as the In-Service Testing Program or the Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program);
- Frequencies that are purely event-driven (e.g., "each time the control rod is withdrawn to the 'full out' position");
- Frequencies that are event-driven, but have a time component for performing the surveillance on a one-time basis once the event occurs (e.g., "within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> after thermal power reaching ~ 95% RTP"); and
2
- Frequencies that are related to specific conditions (e.g., battery degradation, age and capacity) or conditions for the performance of a surveillance requirement (e.g., "drywell to suppression chamber differential pressure decrease.")
A new program is added to the Administrative Controls of TS Section 5 as 5.5.16 called the SFCP and describes the requirements for the program to control changes to the relocated surveillance frequencies. The TS Bases for each of the affected surveillance requirements are revised to state that the frequency is set in accordance with the SFCP. Some surveillance requirements Bases do not contain a discussion of the frequency. In these cases, the Bases describing the current frequency were added to maintain consistency with the Bases for similar surveillances. These instances are noted in the markup along with the source of the text. The proposed licensee changes to the Administrative Controls of the TS to incorporate the SFCP include a specific reference to Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 04-10, "Risk-Informed Technical SpeCifications Initiative 5B, Risk-Informed Method for Control of Surveillance Frequencies," Revision 1, as the basis for making any changes to the surveillance frequencies once they are relocated out of the TS.
In a letter dated September 19, 2007, the NRC staff approved NEI 04-10, Revision 1, (ADAMS Accession No. ML072570267), as acceptable for referencing in licensing actions to the extent specified and under the limitations delineated in NEI 04-10, and the safety evaluation providing the basis for NRC acceptance of NEI 04-10.
2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
In the "Final Policy Statement on Technical Specifications Improvements for Nuclear Power Reactors," published in the Federal Register (58 FR 39132, July 22,1993), the NRC addressed the use of Probabilistic Safety Analysis <<PSA), currently referred to as Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) in Standard Technical Specifications. In discussing the use of PSA in Nuclear Power Plant Technical Specifications, the Commission wrote in part:
The Commission believes that it would be inappropriate at this time to allow requirements which meet one or more of the first three criteria to be deleted from technical specifications based solely on PSA (Criterion 4). However, if the results of PSA indicate that technical specifications can be relaxed or removed, a deterministic review will be performed.
The Commission Policy in this regard is consistent with its Policy Statement on "Safety Goals for the Operation of Nuclear Power Plants," (51 FR 30028, published on August 21,1986). The Policy Statement on Safety Goals states in part, " ... [probabilistic] results ... should also be reasonably balanced and supported through use of deterministic arguments. In this way, judgments can be made ... about the degree of confidence to be given these [probabilistic]
estimates and assumptions. This is a key part of the process for determining the degree of regulatory conservatism that may be warranted for particular decisions.
This defense-in-depth approach is expected to continue to ensure the protection of public health and safety."
The Commission will continue to use PSA, consistent with its policy on Safety Goals, as a tool in evaluating specific line item improvements to TSs new
- 3 requirements, and industry proposals for risk-based Technical Specification change.
Approximately two years later, the NRC provided additional detail concerning the use of PRAs in the 'Use of Probabilistic Risk Assessment in Nuclear Regulatory Activities: Final Policy Statement," published in the Federal Register (60 FR 42622, August 16,1995). The Commission, in discussing the deterministic and probabilistic approach to regulation, and the Commission's extension and enhancement of traditional regulation, wrote in part:
PRA addresses a broad spectrum of initiating events by assessing the event frequency. Mitigating system reliability is then assessed, including the potential for multiple and common cause failures. The treatment therefore goes beyond the single-failure requirements in the deterministic approach. The probabilistic approach to regulation is, therefore, considered an extension and enhancement of traditional regulation by considering risk in a more coherent and complete manner.
The Commission provided its new policy, stating:
Although PRA methods and information have thus far been used successfully in nuclear regulatory activities, there have been concerns that PRA methods are not consistently applied throughout the agency, that sufficient agency PRNstatistics expertise is not available, and that the Commission is not deriving full benefit from the large agency and industry investment in the developed risk assessment methods. Therefore, the Commission believes that an overall policy on the use of PRA in nuclear regulatory activities should be established so that the many potential applications of PRA can be implemented in a consistent and predictable manner that promotes regulatory stability and efficiency. This policy statement sets forth the Commission's intention to encourage the use of PRA and to expand the scope of PRA applications in all nuclear regulatory matters to the extent supported by the state-of-the-art in terms of methods and data.
Implementation of the policy statement will improve the regulatory process in three areas: Foremost, through safety decisionmaking enhanced by the use of PRA insights; through more efficient use of agency resources; and through a reduction in unnecessary burdens on licensees.
Therefore, the Commission adopts the following policy statement regarding the expanded NRC use of PRA:
(1) The use of PRA technology should be increased in all regulatory matters to the extent supported by the state-of-the-art in PRA methods and data and in a manner that complements the NRC's deterministic approach and supports the NRC's traditional defense-in-depth philosophy.
(2) PRA and associated analyses (e.g., sensitivity studies, uncertainty analyses, and importance measures) should be used in regulatory matters, where practical within the bounds of the state-of-the-art, to reduce unnecessary conservatism associated with current regulatory requirements, regulatory guides, license commitments, and staff practices. Where appropriate, PRA should be used to
-4 support the proposal for additional regulatory requirements in accordance with 10 CFR 50.109 (8ackfit Rule). Appropriate procedures for including PRA in the process for changing regulatory requirements should be developed and followed.
It is, of course, understood that the intent of this policy is that existing rules and regulations shall be complied with unless these rules and regulations are revised.
(3) PRA evaluations in support of regulatory decisions should be as realistic as practicable and appropriate supporting data should be publicly available for review.
(4) The Commission's safety goals for nuclear power plants and subsidiary numerical objectives are to be used with appropriate consideration of uncertainties in making regulatory judgments on the need for proposing and backfitting new generic requirements on nuclear power plant licensees.
In Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.36, the NRC established its regulatory requirements related to the content of TSs. Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.36, the TSs are required to include items in the following five specific categories related to station operation: (1) safety limits, limiting safety system settings, and limiting control settings; (2) limiting conditions for operation; (3) surveillance requirements; (4) design features; and (5) administrative controls.
As stated in 10 CFR 50.36( c)(3),
Surveillance requirements are requirements relating to test, calibration, or inspection to assure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the conditions for operation will be met.
These categories will remain in the TS. The new TS SFCP provides the necessary administrative controls to require that surveillances relocated to the SFCP are conducted at a frequency to assure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the limiting conditions for operation will be met. Changes to surveillance frequencies in the SFCP are made using the methodology contained in NEI 04-10, including qualitative considerations, results of risk analyses, sensitivity studies and any bounding analyses, and recommended monitoring of structures, systems, and components (SSCs), and required to be documented. Furthermore, changes to frequencies are subject to regulatory review and oversight of the SFCP implementation through the rigorous NRC review of safety-related SSC performance provided by the reactor oversight program.
Licensees are required by the TS to perform surveillance test, calibration, or inspection on specific safety-related system equipment (e.g., reactivity control, power distribution, electrical, and instrumentation) to verify system operability. Surveillance frequencies, currently identified in the TSs, are based primarily upon deterministic methods such as engineering judgment, operating experience, and manufacturer's recommendations. The licensee's use of NRC approved methodologies identified in NEI 04-10 provides a way to establish risk-informed surveillance frequencies that complement the deterministic approach and support the NRC's traditional defense-in-depth philosophy.
- 5 The licensee's SFCP ensures that surveillance requirements specified in the TSs are performed at intervals sufficient to assure the above regulatory requirements are met. Existing regulatory requirements, such as 10 CFR 50.65, "Requirements for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants," and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, (Corrective Action Program), require licensee monitoring of surveillance test failures and implementing corrective actions to address such failures. One of these actions may be to consider increasing the frequency at which a surveillance test is performed. In addition, the SFCP implementation guidance in NEI 04-10 requires monitoring the performance of SSCs for which surveillance frequencies are decreased to assure reduced testing does not adversely impact the SSCs.
These requirements, and the monitoring required by NEI 04-10, ensure that surveillance frequencies are sufficient to assure that the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36 are satisfied and that any performance deficiencies will be identified and appropriate corrective actions taken.
Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.174, "An Approach for Using Probabilistic Risk Assessment in Risk Informed Decisions on Plant-Specific Changes to the Licensing Basis," describes a risk informed approach, acceptable to the NRC, for assessing the nature and impact of proposed permanent licensing-basis changes by considering engineering issues and applying risk inSights. This RG also provides risk acceptance guidelines for evaluating the results of such evaluations.
In RG 1.177, "An Approach for Plant-Specific, Risk-Informed Decisionmaking: Technical Specifications," it describes an acceptable risk-informed approach specifically for assessing proposed permanent TS changes.
In RG 1.200, "An Approach for Determining the Technical Adequacy of Probabilistic Risk Assessment Results for Risk-Informed Activities," it describes an acceptable approach for determining whether the quality of the PRA, in total or the parts that are used to support an application, is sufficient to provide confidence in the results, such that the PRA can be used in regulatory decision making for light-water reactors.
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
The licensee's adoption ofTSTF-425 for LSCS provides for administrative relocation of applicable surveillance frequencies, and provides for the addition of the SFCP to the administrative controls of the TSs. TSTF-425 also requires the application of NEI 04-10 for any changes to surveillance frequencies within the SFCP. The licensee's application for the changes proposed in TSTF-425 included documentation regarding the PRA technical adequacy consistent with the requirements of RG 1.200. In accordance with NEI 04-10, PRA methods are used in combination with plant performance data and other considerations, to identify and justify modifications to the surveillance frequencies of equipment at nuclear power plants. This is in accordance with guidance provided in RG 1.174 and RG 1.177 in support of changes to surveillance test intervals.
3.1 RG 1.177 Five Key Safety Principles In RG 1.177, it identifies five key safety principles required for risk-informed changes to TSs.
Each of these principles is addressed by the industry methodology document, NEI 04-10.
-6 3.1.1 The Proposed Change Meets Current Regulations Section 50.36(c)(3) to 10 CFR provides that TSs will include surveillances which are "requirements relating to test, calibration, or inspection to assure that necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the limiting conditions for operation will be met." NEI 04-10 provides guidance for relocating the surveillance frequencies from the TSs to a licensee-controlled program by providing an NRC-approved methodology for control of the surveillance frequencies. The surveillances themselves would remain in the TSs, as required by 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3).
This change is consistent with other NRC-approved TS changes in which the surveillance frequencies are relocated to licensee-controlled documents, such as surveillances performed in accordance with the In-service Testing Program or the Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program. Thus, this proposed change meets the first key safety principle of RG 1.177 by complying with current regulations.
3.1.2 The Proposed Change Is Consistent With the Defense-in-Depth Philosophy Consistency with the defense-in-depth philosophy, the second key safety principle of RG 1.177, is maintained if:
- A reasonable balance is preserved among prevention of core damage, prevention of containment failure, and consequence mitigation.
- Over-reliance on programmatic activities to compensate for weaknesses in plant design is avoided.
- System redundancy, independence, and diversity are preserved commensurate with the expected frequency, consequences of challenges to the system, and uncertainties (e.g.,
no risk outliers). Because the scope of the proposed methodology is limited to revision of surveillance frequencies, the redundancy, independence, and diversity of plant systems are not impacted.
- Defenses against potential common-cause failures are preserved, and the potential for the introduction of new common-cause failure mechanisms is assessed.
- Independence of barriers is not degraded.
- Defenses against human errors are preserved.
- The intent of the General Design Criteria in 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, is maintained.
In TSTF-425, it requires the application of NEI 04-10 for any changes to surveillance frequencies within the SFCP. NEI 04-10 uses both the core damage frequency (CDF) and the large early release frequency (LERF) metrics to evaluate the impact of proposed changes to surveillance frequencies. The guidance of RG 1.174 and RG 1.177 for changes to CDF and LERF is achieved by evaluation using a comprehensive risk analysis, which assesses the
-7 impact of proposed changes including contributions from human errors and common-cause failures.
Defense-in-depth is also included in the methodology explicitly as a qualitative consideration outside of the risk analysis, as is the potential impact on detection of component degradation that could lead to an increased likelihood of common-cause failures. Both the quantitative risk analysis and the qualitative considerations assure a reasonable balance of defense-in-depth is maintained to ensure protection of public health and safety, satisfying the second key safety principle of RG 1.177.
3.1.3 The Proposed Change Maintains Sufficient Safety Margins The engineering evaluation that will be conducted by the licensee under the SFCP when frequencies are revised will assess the impact of the proposed frequency change with the principle that sufficient safety margins are maintained. The guidelines used for making that assessment will include ensuring that the proposed surveillance test frequency change is not in con1'lict with approved industry codes and standards or adversely affects any assumptions or inputs to the safety analysis, or, if such inputs are affected, justification is provided to ensure sufficient safety margin will continue to exist.
The design, operation, testing methods, and acceptance criteria for SSCs, specified in applicable codes and standards (or alternatives approved for use by the NRC) will continue to be met as described in the plant licensing basis (including the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report and Bases to TSs) since these are not affected by changes to the surveillance frequencies. Similarly, there is no impact to safety analysis acceptance criteria as described in the plant licensing basis. Thus, safety margins are maintained by the proposed methodology, and the third key safety principle of RG 1.177 is satisfied.
3.1.4 When Proposed Changes Result in an Increase in Core Damage Frequency or Risk, the Increases Should Be Small and Consistent With the Intent of the Commission's Safety Goal Policy Statement A framework for evaluating the risk impact of proposed changes is provided in RG 1.177 to surveillance frequencies. This requires the identification of the risk contribution from impacted surveillances, determination of the risk impact from the change to the proposed surveillance frequency, and performance of sensitivity and uncertainty evaluations. TSTF-425 requires application of NEI 04-10 in the SFCP. NEI 04-10 satisfies the intent of RG 1.177 requirements for evaluating the change in risk and for assuring that such changes are small.
3.1.4.1 Quality of the PRA The quality of the LSCS PRA is compatible with the safety implications of the proposed TS change and the role the PRA plays in justifying the change. That is, the more the potential change in risk or the greater the uncertainty in that risk from the requested TS change, or both, the more rigor that must go into ensuring the quality of the PRA.
The licensee used RG 1.200 to address the technical adequacy of the LSCS PRA. RG 1.200 is NRC's developed regulatory guidance, which endorses with comments and qualifications the use of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) RA-Sb-2005, "Addenda to
-8 ASME RA-S-2002 Standard for Probabilistic Risk Assessment for Nuclear Power Plant Applications," NEI 00-02, "PRA Peer Review Process Guidelines," and NEI 05-04, "Process for Performing Follow-On PRA Peer Reviews Using the ASME PRA Standard." The licensee has performed an assessment of the PRA models used to support the SFCP against the requirements of RG 1.200 to assure that the PRA models are capable of determining the change in risk due to changes to surveillance frequencies of SSCs, using plant-specific data and models. Capability Category II of ASME RA-St:r2005 is applied as the standard, and any identified deficiencies to those requirements are assessed further to determine any impacts to proposed decreases to surveillance frequencies, including the use of sensitivity studies where appropriate.
The NRC staff reviewed the licensee's assessment of the LSCS PRA and the remaining open deficiencies that do not conform to capability Category II of the ASME PRA standard (Table A.2 1 of Attachment 2 of the license amendment request). The NRC staff's assessment of these open "gaps," to assure that they may be addressed and dispositioned for each surveillance frequency evaluation per the NEI 04-10 methodology, is provided below.
Gap IE-A7: A review of plant-specific initiating event precursors has not been performed such that this supporting requirement is met only at capability Category I. The licensee stated this is a documentation issue, and that no additional initiating event categories would be identified by conducting any further precursor reviews. The NRC staff concurs that a review of such precursors is unlikely to identify new significant initiators for LSCS, and therefore, this deficiency can be addressed per the methodology of NEI 04-10.
Gap IE-D3, AS-C3, SC-C3, SY-C3, HR-13, DA-E3, IF-F3, QU-E2, QU-E4, QU-F4, LE-F3, LE-G4: Sources of model uncertainty and related assumptions have not been documented.
Each individual surveillance frequency evaluation will follow the guidance available in NUREG 1855, and therefore, the NRC staff concurs that this documentation issue can be addressed per the methodology of NEI 04-10.
Gap SC-B5: The supporting engineering bases for success criteria were not adequately verified for reasonableness and acceptability. The licensee identified this as a documentation issue since the success criteria calculations do include cross-comparisons of different thermal hydraulic codes. The NRC staff concurs that the licensee has performed adequate verification of its success criteria bases, and therefore, this deficiency can be addressed per the methodology of NEI 04-10.
Gap SY-A4: The systems analysis notebooks do not consistently document the performance of walk downs as required by this supporting requirement. The peer review team and the licensee disposition of this item indicate that such walk downs were conducted in the original development of the PRA models, but the documentation was not retained in the system notebooks. The NRC staff concurs that this deficiency is related to the system notebook documentation and not the technical adequacy of the system models, and can be addressed per the methodology of NEI 04-10.
Gaps HR-A 1, HR-A2, HR-B1: These supporting requirements address the identification of potential human error events by review of operational practices and procedures and applying appropriate screening criteria. The licensee identified these gaps as documentation issues based on the peer review team not identifying any events missing from the PRA model. The
-9 NRC staff concurs that these documentation deficiencies can be addressed per the methodology of NEI 04-10.
Gap HR-G6: A comparison of human error probabilities is required by the standard but there was no discussion in the analysis of this being performed. The licensee stated that such a reasonableness check was performed for LSCS PRA model and that this is a documentation issue. The NRC staff concurs that this deficiency is related to documentation and not the technical adequacy of the human reliability analysis and can be addressed per the methodology of NEI 04-10.
Gap DA-C8: The standby status probabilities are not always based on plant operational data as required to meet capability Category II. The system or train standby times are estimated based on the surveillance test intervals, which is identified as consistent with actual practice. The use of scheduled and prescribed surveillance tests as the basis for the number of standby hours is equal to or greater than the actual number of hours between tests. Unplanned tests are not credited in the number of standby hours between tests. This is conservative since it leads to a slightly higher failure rate than might be calculated from the use of the plant operating records number of standby hours. This difference does not significantly impact the risk profile. The use of the frequency of LSCS component surveillance tests are appropriate estimates for the system or train standby times because the surveillance tests are monitored in accordance with specific plant and corporate procedures. The NRC staff concurs with the licensee's disposition of this item, and it can be addressed per the methodology of NEI 04-10.
Gap DA-C10: A review of surveillance test procedures to determine which component failure modes are fully tested has not been completed. The number of plant-specific demands is based on the number of surveillance tests performed, which is conservative (Le., lower) with respect to the actual number of demands experienced. This approach captures the appropriate number of demands performed during each test (Le., reflects the number of demands within the test procedure if more than one). Unplanned tests are not included in the number of demands.
This is conservative since it leads to a slightly higher failure rate than might be calculated from the use of the actual demand count. Based on the Bayesian update process incorporated for calculating the LSCS component failure data, this difference does not significantly impact the risk profile. The NRC staff concurs with the licensee's disposition of this item, and it can be addressed per the methodology of NEI 04-10.
Gap IF-C3b: Flood barrier unavailability was identified as not being discussed, although the peer review team identified it as having minimal significance. The disposition of this deficiency stated that flood barrier unavailability was considered and included in the internal flood analysis, and therefore, is only a documentation issue. The NRC staff concurs that this documentation issue can be addressed per the methodology of NEI 04-10.
Gaps QU-D1 a, QU-D4: The review of cutsets was identified as insufficient based on the number of cutsets reviewed. The licensee stated that additional reviews of more cutsets are performed but are not documented, and therefore, is only a documentation issue. The NRC staff concurs that this documentation issue can be addressed per the methodology of NEI04-10.
10 Gaps QU-F3, QU-F6: These supporting requirements address documentation requirements for the model quantification which have no impact on the PRA model. The NRC staff concurs that this documentation issue can be addressed per the methodology of NEI 04-10.
Based on the licensee's assessment using the applicable PRA standard and RG 1.200, the level of PRA quality, combined with the proposed evaluation and disposition of gaps, is sufficient to support the evaluation of changes proposed to surveillance frequencies within the SFCP, and is consistent with Regulatory Position 2.3.1 of RG 1.177.
3.1.4.2 Scope of the PRA The licensee is required to evaluate each proposed change to a relocated surveillance frequency using the guidance contained in NEI 04-10 to determine its potential impact on risk, due to impacts from internal events, fires, seismic, other external events, and from shutdown conditions. Consideration is made of both CDF and LERF metrics. In cases where a PRA of sufficient scope or where quantitative risk models were unavailable, the licensee uses bounding analyses or other conservative quantitative evaluations. A qualitative screening analysis may be used when the surveillance frequency impact on plant risk is shown to be negligible or zero.
The licensee has developed a fire PRA model, which is an interim implementation of the methodology of NUREG/CR-6850 because not all tasks identified in this document are completely addressed. The licensee identified the incomplete tasks and characterized the limitations of its existing fire PRA model. For surveillance interval evaluations, the licensee intends to employ the fire PRA model to obtain quantitative insights when needed to supplement a qualitative or bounding assessment.
The individual plant examination of external events (IPEEE) seismic margins analysis will be used to provide seismic insights. Other external hazards were screened during the IPEEE assessment, and will therefore, be qualitatively assessed for this application.
The licensee's evaluation methodology is sufficient to ensure the scope of the risk contribution of each surveillance frequency change is properly identified for evaluation and is consistent with Regulatory Position 2.3.2 of RG 1.177.
3.1.4.3 PRA Modeling The licensee will determine whether the SSCs affected by a proposed change to a surveillance frequency are modeled in the PRA. Where the SSC is directly or implicitly modeled, a quantitative evaluation of the risk impact may be carried out. The methodology adjusts the failure probability of the impacted SSCs, including any impacted common cause failure modes, based on the proposed change to the surveillance frequency. Where the SSC is not modeled in the PRA, bounding analyses are performed to characterize the impact of the proposed change to the surveillance frequency. Potential impacts on the risk analyses due to screening criteria and truncation levels are addressed by the requirements for PRA technical adequacy consistent with guidance contained in RG 1.200, and by sensitivity studies identified in NEI 04-10.
11 The licensee will perform quantitative evaluations of the impact of the selected testing strategy (i.e., staggered testing or sequential testing) consistent with the guidance of NUREG/CR-8141 and NUREG/CR-5497, as discussed in NEI 04-10.
Thus, through the application of NEI 04-10, the lSCS PRA modeling is sufficient to ensure an acceptable evaluation of risk for the proposed changes in surveillance frequency and is consistent with Regulatory Position 2.3.3 of RG 1.177.
3.1.4.4 Assumptions for Time-Related Failure Contributions The failure probabilities of SSCs modeled in the lSCS PRA include a standby time-related contribution and a cyclic demand-related contribution. NEI 04-10 criteria adjust the time-related failure contribution of SSCs affected by the proposed change to surveillance frequency. This is consistent with RG 1.177, Section 2.3.3, which permits separation of the failure rate contributions into demand and standby for evaluation of surveillance requirements. If the available data do not support distinguishing between the time-related failures and demand failures, then the change to surveillance frequency is conservatively assumed to impact the total failure probability of the SSC, including both standby and demand contributions. The SSC failure rate (per unit time) is assumed to be unaffected by the change in test frequency and will be confirmed by the required monitoring and feedback implemented after the change in surveillance frequency is implemented. The process requires consideration of qualitative sources of information with regards to potential impacts of test frequency on SSC performance, including industry and plant-specific operating experience, vendor recommendations, industry standards, and code-specified test intervals. Thus, the process is not reliant upon risk analyses as the sole basis for the proposed changes.
The potential beneficial risk impacts of reduced surveillance frequency, including reduced downtime, lesser potential for restoration errors, reduction of potential for test caused transients, and reduced test-caused wear of equipment, are identified qualitatively, but are conservatively not required to be quantitatively assessed. Thus, through the application of NEI 04-10, the licensee has employed reasonable assumptions with regard to extensions of surveillance test intervals, and is consistent with Regulatory Position 2.3.4 of RG 1.177.
3.1.4.5 Sensitivity and Uncertainty Analyses In NEI 04-10, it requires sensitivity studies to assess the impact of uncertainties from key assumptions of the PRA, uncertainty in the failure probabilities of the affected SSCs, impact to the frequency of initiating events, and of any identified deviations from capability Category" of ASME PRA Standard (ASME RA-Sb-2005) (Reference 4). Where the sensitivity analyses identify a potential impact on the proposed change, revised surveillance frequencies are considered, along with any qualitative considerations that may bear on the results of such sensitivity studies. Required monitoring and feedback of SSC performance once the revised surveillance frequencies are implemented will also be performed. Thus, through the application of NEI 04-10, the licensee has appropriately considered the possible impact of PRA model uncertainty and sensitivity to key assumptions and model limitations, and is consistent with Regulatory Position 2.3.5 of RG 1.177.
12 3.1.4.6 Acceptance Guidelines The licensee will quantitatively evaluate the change in total risk (including internal and external events contributions) in terms of CDF and LERF for both the individual risk impact of a proposed change in surveillance frequency and the cumulative impact from all individual changes to surveillance frequencies using the guidance contained in NRC approved NEI 04-10 in accordance with the TS SFCP. Each individual change to surveillance frequency must show a risk impact below 1E-6 per year for change to CDF, and below 1E-7 per year for change to LERF. These are consistent with the limits of RG 1.174 for very small changes in risk. Where the RG 1.174 limits are not met, the process either considers revised surveillance frequencies which are consistent with RG 1.174 or the process terminates without permitting the proposed changes. Where quantitative results are unavailable to permit comparison to acceptance guidelines, appropriate qualitative analyses are required to demonstrate that the associated risk impact of a proposed change to surveillance frequency is negligible or zero. Otherwise, bounding quantitative analyses are required which demonstrate the risk impact is at least one order of magnitude lower than the RG 1.174 acceptance guidelines for very small changes in risk. In addition to assessing each individual SSC surveillance frequency change, the cumulative impact of all changes must result in a risk impact below 1E-S per year for change to CDF, and below 1E-6 per year for change to LERF, and the total CDF and total LERF must be reasonably shown to be less than 1E-4 per year and 1E-S per year, respectively. These are consistent with the limits of RG 1.174 for acceptable changes in risk, as referenced by RG 1.177 for changes to surveillance frequencies. The NRC staff interprets this assessment of cumulative risk as a requirement to calculate the change in risk from a baseline model utilizing failure probabilities based on the surveillance frequencies prior to implementation of the SFCP, compared to a revised model with failure probabilities based on changed surveillance frequencies. The NRC staff further notes that Exelon includes a provision to exclude the contribution to cumulative risk from individual changes to surveillance frequencies associated with insignificant risk increases (less than SE-8 per year CDF and SE-9 per year LERF) once the baseline PRA models are updated to include the effects of the revised surveillance frequencies.
The quantitative acceptance guidance of RG 1.174 is supplemented by qualitative information to evaluate the proposed changes to surveillance 'frequencies, including industry and plant-specific operating experience, vendor recommendations, industry standards, the results of sensitivity studies, and SSC performance data and test history.
The final acceptability of the proposed change is based on all of these considerations and not solely on the PRA results compared to numerical acceptance guidelines. Post implementation performance monitoring and feedback are also required to assure continued reliability of the components. The licensee's application of NEI 04-10 provides reasonable acceptance guidelines and methods for evaluating the risk increase of proposed changes to surveillance frequencies, consistent with Regulatory Position 2.4 of RG 1.177. Therefore, the proposed Exelon methodology satisfies the fourth key safety principle of RG 1.177 by assuring any increase in risk is small consistent with the intent of the Commission's Safety Goal Policy Statement.
- 13 3.1.5 The Impact of the Proposed Change Should Be Monitored Using Performance Measurement Strategies The licensee's adoption of TSTF-425 requires application of NEI 04-10 in the SFCP.
NEI 04-10 requires performance monitoring of SSCs whose surveillance frequency has been revised as part of a feedback process to assure that the change in test frequency has not resulted in degradation of equipment performance and operational safety. The monitoring and feedback includes consideration of maintenance rule monitoring of equipment performance. In the event of degradation of SSC performance, the surveillance frequency will be reassessed in accordance with the methodology, in addition to any corrective actions which may apply as part of the maintenance rule requirements. The performance monitoring and feedback specified in NEI 04-10 is sufficient to reasonably assure acceptable SSC performance and is consistent with Regulatory Position 3.2 of RG 1.177. Thus, the fifth key safety principle of RG 1.177 is satisfied.
3.2 Addition of Surveillance Frequency Control Program to Administrative Controls The licensee has included the SFCP and specific requirements into the Administrative Controls, TS Section 5.5.16, Surveillance Frequency Control Program, as follows:
This program provides controls for Surveillance Frequencies. The program shall ensure that Surveillance Requirements specified in the TSs are performed at intervals sufficient to assure that the associated limiting conditions for operation are met.
- a. The Surveillance Frequency Control Program shall contain a list of Frequencies of the Surveillance Requirements for which the Frequency is controlled by the program.
- b. Changes to the Frequencies listed in the Surveillance Frequency Control Program shall be made in accordance with NEI 04-10, "Risk-Informed Method for Control of Surveillance Frequencies," Revision 1.
- c. The provisions of Surveillance Requirements 3.0.2 and 3.0.3 are applicable to the Frequencies established in the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.
The proposed program is consistent with the model application of TSTF-425, and is therefore acceptable.
The NRC staff has reviewed the licensee's proposed relocation of some surveillance frequencies to a licensee controlled document, and controlling changes to surveillance frequencies in accordance with a new program, the SFCP, identified in the administrative controls of TS. The SFCP and TS Section 5.5.16 references NEI 04-10, which provides a risk informed methodology using plant-specific risk insights and performance data to revise surveillance frequencies within the SFCP. This methodology supports relocating surveillance frequencies from TS to a licensee-controlled document, provided those frequencies are changed in accordance with NEI 04-10 which is specified in the Administrative Controls of the TSs.
14 The proposed licensee adoption of TSTF-425 and risk-informed methodology of NEI 04-10 as referenced in the Administrative Controls of TS, satisfies the key principles of risk-informed decision making applied to changes to TS as delineated in RG 1.177 and RG 1.174, in that:
- The proposed change meets current regulations;
- The proposed change is consistent with defense-in-depth philosophy;
- The proposed change maintains sufficient safety margins;
- Increases in risk resulting from the proposed change are small and consistent with the Commission's Safety Goal Policy Statement; and
- The impact of the proposed change is monitored with performance measurement strategies.
Section to 50.36(c)(3) to 10 CFR states "Technical specifications will include items in the following categories: Surveillance Requirements. Surveillance Requirements are requirements relating to test, calibration, or inspection to assure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the limiting conditions for operation will be met." The NRC staff finds that with the proposed relocation of surveillance frequencies to an owner-controlled document and administratively controlled in accordance with the TS SFCP, Exelon continues to meet the regulatory requirement of 10 CFR 50.36, and, specifically, 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3), surveillance requirements.
3.3 Technical Summary The NRC staff has reviewed the licensee's proposed relocation of some surveillance frequencies to a licensee-controlled document, and controlling changes to surveillance frequencies in accordance with a new program, the SFCP, identified in the administrative controls of TS. The SFCP and TS Section 5.5.16 references NEI 04-10, which provides a risk informed methodology using plant-specific risk inSights and performance data to revise surveillance frequencies within the SFCP. This methodology supports relocating surveillance frequencies from a TS to a licensee-controlled document, provided those frequencies are changed in accordance with NEI 04-10 which is specified in the Administrative Controls of the TS.
The proposed licensee adoption of TSTF-425 and risk-informed methodology of NEI 04-10 as referenced in the Administrative Controls of the TS, satisfies the key principles of risk-informed decision making applied to changes to TS as delineated in RG 1.177 and RG 1.174, in that:
- The proposed change meets current regulations;
- The proposed change is consistent with defense-in-depth philosophy;
- The proposed change maintains sufficient safety margins;
15
- Increases in risk resulting from the proposed change are small and consistent with the Commission's safety goal policy statement; and
- The impact of the proposed change is monitored with performance measurement strategies.
4.0 STATE CONSULTAllON In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Illinois State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendments. The State official had no comments.
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
The amendments change surveillance requirements of the facilities components located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20 and surveillance requirements. 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 (75 FR 20636; April 20, 2010). 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 amendments.
6.0 CONCLUSION
The NRC has concluded, on the basis of 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 NRC'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.

Dear Mr. Pacilio:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has issued the enclosed Amendment No. 200 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-11 and Amendment No. 187 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-18 for the LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2, respectively. The amendments are in response to your application dated February 15,2010 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML100480009), as supplemented by letters dated April 26, June 23, and August 3,2010 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML101160374, ML101750102, and ML110390169, respectively).
The requested change is the adoption of Nuclear Regulatory Commission-approved Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF-425), Revision 3, "Relocate Surveillance Frequencies to Licensee Control-RITSTF Initiative 5b." When implemented, TSTF-425 relocates most periodic frequencies of Technical Specification (TS) surveillances to a licensee-controlled program, the Surveillance Frequency Control Program, and provides requirements for the new program in the Administrative Controls section of the TS.
A copy of the Safety Evaluation is also enclosed. The Notice of Issuance will be included in the Commission's biweekly Federal Register notice.
Sincerely, IRA!
