By letter L-2010-259 dated November 22, 2010 [Reference 1], Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) requested to amend Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-67 and revise the St. Lucie Unit 1 Technical Specifications (TS). The proposed amendment will increase the unit's licensed core thermal power level from 2700 megawatts thermal (MWt) to 3020 MWt and revise the Renewed Facility Operating License and TS to support operation at this increased core thermal power level. This represents an approximate increase of 11.85% and is therefore considered an extended power uprate (EPU).
By email from the NRC Project Manager dated January 13, 2011 [Reference 2],
additional information regarding the analysis supporting proposed changes to the reactor coolant system pressure-temperature (P-T) limits was requested by the NRC staff in the Vessels and Internals Integrity Branch (CVIB) to support their review of the EPU LAR.

L-2011-076 Attachment 2 Page 1 of 5 Attachment 2 Responses to Supplemental Information Requirements
L-2011-076 Attachment 2 Page 2 of 5 Discussion Section 5.0 of the NRC Safety Evaluation (SE) for CE-NPSD-683-A contains twenty-six items of information to be included in pressure-temperature limits report (PTLR) License Amendment Requests to satisfy the criteria of the table in Attachment 1 to Generic Letter (GL) 96-03. GL 96-03, "Relocation of the Pressure Temperature Limit Curves and Low Temperature Overpressure Protection System Limits," provides guidance on relocating the pressure-temperature (P-T) limits and certain low temperature overpressure protection (LTO P) controls from the Technical Specifications to a PTLR. The table in Attachment 1 to GL 96-03 contains information requirements related to the methodology for generating P-T limits and LTOP setpoints.
Florida Power and Light (FPL), in their St. Lucie Unit I (PSL1) Extended Power Uprate (EPU)
License Amendment Request (LAR), requests approval of changes to the P-T limits based on CE-NPSD-683-A methodology. The technical basis for the new P-T limits and the basis and methodology for the LTOP evaluation that is supported by the proposed P-T limits is described in the Westinghouse document WCAP-17197-NP. WCAP-17197-NP was prepared by Westinghouse and provided to FPL to support the proposed PS Li P-T limits described in the EPU LAR.
Although FPL is not requesting that the PS LI P-T limits be relocated to a PTLR, since FPL is using the P-T limits methodology from CE-NPSD-683-A for St. Lucie Unit 1, each of the twenty-six information items from Section 5.0 of the CE-NPSD-683-A safety evaluation (SE) is stated below along with an assessment of the applicable proposed change to the St. Lucie Unit 1 P-T limits.
Information Items from Section 5.0 of the CE-NPSD-683-A SE Information needed to satisfy Criterion 1 of the Table in Attachment I to GL 96-03, which deals with the topic of neutron fluence calculational methods - Licensees will need to:
(1) Describe the methodology used to calculate the neutron fluence values for the reactor vessel materials, including a description of whether or not the methodology is consistent with the guidance of Draft Regulatory Guide DG-1 053, a description of the computer codes used to calculate the neutron fluence values, and a description of how the computer codes for calculating the neutron fluence values were benchmarked; and (2) Provide the values of neutron fluence used for the adjusted reference temperature (RT1OT) calculations, including the values of neutron fluence for the ihner surface (ID),
1/4T and 3/4T locations of the RPV.
Assessment: Items 1 and 2 do not provide information necessary to support the P-T limit methodology - this information supports fluence determination. No response required -for a submittal that is not requesting approval of a PTLR. WCAP-17197-NP does not describe the methodology to calculate neutron fluence.
Information needed to satisfy Criterion2 of the Table in Attachment 7 to GL 96-03, which deals with the topic of reactor vessel material surveillance program designs and withdrawal schedules - Licensees will need to:
L-2011-076 Attachment 2 Page 3 of 5 (3) Either provide the surveillance capsule withdrawal schedule in the proposed PTLR for the amendment or reference in the PTLR by title and number the documents in which the withdrawal schedule is located; and (4) Reference the surveillance capsule reports by title and number if the RTNDr values are calculated using RPV surveillance capsule data.
Assessment: Items 3 and 4 do not provide information necessary to support the P-T limit methodology - this information supports the surveillance capsule schedule and report information. No response required for a submittal that is not requesting approval of a PTLR. WCAP-17197-NP does not describe the surveillance capsule withdrawal schedule or reports.
Information needed to satisfy Criterion3 of the Table in Attachment I to GL 96-03, which deals with the topic of describing the methodologies that will be used to establish the LTOP system limits - Licensees will need to:
(5) Provide a description of the analytical method used in the energy addition transient analysis; (6) Provide a description of the analytical method used in the mass addition transient analysis, if different from that in Section 3.3.5 of the topical report; (7) Provide a description of the method for selection of relief valve setpoints; (8) Provide a justification for use of subcooled water conditions or a steam volume in the pressurizer; (9) Provide a justification for a less conservative method for determination of decay heat contribution if the method used is less conservative than the "most conservative method" described in the topical report; (10) Provide justification for operator action time used in transient mitigation or termination; (11) Provide correlations used for developing PORV discharge characteristics; (12) Provide spring relief valve discharge characteristics if different from those described in the topical report or if the peak transient pressure is above the set pressure of the valve plus 10 percent; (13) Provide a description of how the reactor coolant temperature instrumentation uncertainty was accounted for; (14) Provide a justification for the mass and energy addition transient mitigation which credit presence of nitrogen in the pressurizer; and (15) Identify and explain any other deviation from the methodology included in Section 3.0 of the topical report.
Assessment: Items 5 through 15 do not provide information necessary to support the P-T limit methodology - this information supports LTOP Evaluation methods. No response required for a submittal that is not requesting approval of a PTLR.
WCAP-1 7197-NP describes LTOP transient methods and assumptions in Sections 3.2 and 3.3.
Information needed to satisfy Criterion4 of the Table in Attachment I to GL 96-03, which deals with the topic of describing the methodologies that will be used to calculate the adjusted reference temperature values for the RPV materials - Licensees will need to:
(16) Identify the limiting materials and corresponding RTNDT values for both the quarter thickness (1/4T) and three-quarter-thickness (3/4T) locations of the RPV shell; and (17) For pressurized-water-reactor (PWR) design facilities, identify the limiting RTNDT value for RPV as calculated in accordance with the methods and criteria of 10 CFR 50.61.
L-2011-076 Attachment 2 Page 4 of 5 Assessment: Items 16 and 17 do not provide information necessary to support the P-T limit methodology - this information supports material property information. No response required, for a submittal that is not requesting approval of a PTLR.
WCAP-1 7197-NP describes the adjusted reference temperature in Section 2.1.
Information needed to satisfy Criterion5 of the Table in Attachment I to GL 96-03, which deals with the topic of describing the methodologies used to generate plant specific P-T limit curves - Licensees will need to:
(18) Ensure that the ferritic RPV materials that have accumulated neutron fluences in excess of 1.0x1017 n/cm 2 (E > 1 MeV) will be assessed according to Section 4.0 of the CE Topical Report CE NPSD-683, Revision 6, regardless of whether the materials are located within the region immediately surrounding the active core; Assessment: This item is not related to the C-E NPSD-683 P-T methodology. No response required, for a submittal that is not requesting approval of a PTLR. WCAP-17197-NP describes the material fluence projections in Section 2.1.
(19) Identify which method (i.e., Kic or KIA) will be used to calculate the reference intensity factor (KIR) values for the RPV as a function of temperature; Assessment: ASME Code has since been updated to use Kic criteria and, hence, was used in generating the St. Lucie Unit 1 P-T limits.
(20) (Applicable only if Code Case N-640 and Kc are used as the basis for calculatingthe KIR values) submit an exemption request [pursuant to alternative program provisions of 10 CFR 50.60(b)] to use the methods of Code Case N-640 and apply them to the P-T limit calculations. Note that the staff will approve an exemption request to use Code Case N-640 and K1c as the bases for generating the P-T limit curves only if a licensee indicates that it will limit the maximum pressure in the vessel to 100 percent of the pressure satisfying Paragraph G-2215 of the 1996 Edition of Appendix G to the Code for establishing LTOP limit setpoints. This condition is consistent with Note (2) on page 5-6 of CE NPSD-683, Revision 6; Assessment: The 2004 Edition of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code codified in the Code of Federal Regulations has incorporated the use of Kc criteria. No response required.
(21) (Applicable only if the CE NSSS methods for calculatingKim and Kit factors, as stated in Section 5.4 of CE NPSD-683, Revision 6, are being used as the basis for generatingthe P-T limits for their facilities) apply for an exemption against requirements of Section IV.A.2 of Appendix G to Part 50 to apply the CE NSSS methods to their P-T curves.
This is consistent with the 'note" on page 5-15 of CE NPSD-683, Revision 6. Exemption requests to apply the CE NSSS to the generation of P-T limit curves should be submitted pursuant to the provision of 10 CFR 50.60(b) and will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis against the exem ption request acceptance criteria of 10 CFR 50.12; and Assessment: An Exemption is requested for the application of the CE NSSS P-T methodology to generate P-T limits for St. Lucie Unit 1.
L-2011-076 Attachment 2 Page 5 of 5 (22) Include in their PTLRs the P-T curves for heatup, cooldown, criticality, and hydrostatic and leak tests of their reactors.
Assessment: This item is not applicable to St. Lucie Unit 1 as it does not have a PTLR.
No response required for a submittal that is not requesting approval of a PTLR.
Information needed to satisfy Criterion6 of the Table in Attachment 7 to GL 96-03, which deals with the topic of describing how the P-T limit curves for normal operations and pressure testing conditions will satisfy the appropriate minimum temperature requirements, as stated in Table 1 of Appendix G to Part 50 - Licensees will need to:
(23) Demonstrate how the P-T curves for pressure testing conditions and normal operations with the core critical and not-critical will be in compliance with the appropriate minimum temperature requirements as given in Table 1 to Appendix G to Part 50.
Assessment: Item 23 was considered in generating the P-T limits for St. Lucie Unit 1 in addition to the CE N SSS P-T methodology. No response required for a submittal that is not requesting approval of a PTLR. WCAP-17197-NP describes the hydrostatic and core critical limits in Section 2.6.
Information needed to satisfy Criterion7 of the Table in Attachment 7 to GL 96-03, which deals with the topic of how the plant-specific RPV material surveillance data will be evaluated and applied to the adj usted reference temperature calculations - Licensees will need to:
(24) Include in their PTLRs the supplemental surveillance data and calculations of the chemistry factors if surveillance data are used for the calculations of the adjusted reference temperatures; (25) Provide the evaluation of whether the surveillance data are credible in accordance with the credibility criteria of RG 1.99, Revision 2; (26) In addition, if licensees seek to use surveillance data from supplemental plant sources, licensees must:
(a) Identify the source(s) of the data; and (b) Either identify by title and number the safety evaluation report that approved the use of the supplemental data, along with a justification of why the data is applicable; or compare the licensee's (applicant's) data with the data from the supplemental plant(s) for both the radiation environments (i.e., neutron spectrums and irradiation temperatures) and the surveillance test results, and pursuant to Section 111.C of Appendix H to Part 50, submit the proposed integrated surveillance program and evaluation of the data to the NRC for review and approval.
Assessment: Items 24 through 26(b) do not provide information necessary to support the P-T limit methodology -this information supports surveillance data evaluation.
No response required for a submittal that is not requesting approval of a PTLR. WCAP-17197-NP describes the surveillance data and RG 1.99 in Section 2.1.

JOAN GRAY Not.,,.rjj Public My Commission Expircs January 31, 2012
2 CAW-] 1-3065 (I) I am Senior Engineer, Regulatory Compliance and Plant Licensing, in Nuclear Services, Westinghouse Electric Company LLC (Westinghouse), and as.such. I have been specifically delegated the function of reviewing the proprietary information sought to be withheld fromn public disclosure in connection with nuclear power plant licensing and rule making proceedings, and am authorized to apply for its withholding on behalf of Westinghouse.
(2) 1am making this Affidavit in conformance with the provisions of 10 CFR Section 2.390 of the Commission's regulations and in conljunction with the Westinghouse Application for Withholding Proprietary Information from Public Disclosure accompanying this Affidavit.
(3) 1 have personal knowledge of the criteria and procedures utilized by Westinghouse in designating information as a trade secret, privileged or as confidential commercial or financial information.
(4) Pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (b)(4) of Section 2.390 of the Commission's regulations, the following is furnished for consideration by the Commission in determining whether the information sought to be withheld from public disclosure should be withheld.
(i) The information sought to be withheld fi-om public disclosure is owned and has been held in confidence by Westinghouse.
(ii) The information is of a type customarily held in confidence by Westinghouse and not customarily disclosed to the public. Westinghouse has a rational basis for determining the types of information customarily held in confidence by it and, in that connection, utilizes a system to determine when and whether to hold certain types of information in confidence. The application of that system and the substance of that system constitutes Westinghouse policy and provides the rational basis required.
Under that system, information is held in confidence if it falls in one or more of several types, the release of which might resuLlt in the loss of an existing or potential competitive advantage, as follows:
(a) Thle information reveals the distinguishing aspects of a process (or component, structure, tool, method, etc.) where prevention of its use by any of
3 CAW-1 -3065 Westinghouse's competitors without license firom WestinghoLise constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies.
(b) It consists of supporting data, including test data, relative to a process (or component, structure. tool, method, etc.), the application of which data secures a competitive economic advantage, e.g., by optimization or improved marketability.
(c) Its use by a competitor would reduce his expenditure of resources or improve his competitive position in the design, manuf-acture, shipment, installation, assurance of quality, or licensing a similar product.
(d) It reveals cost or price information, production capacities, budget levels, or commercial strategies of Westinghouse, its customers or suppliers.
(e) It reveals aspects of past, present, or future Westinghouse or customer funded development plans and programs of potential commercial value to Westinghouse.
(f) It contains patentable ideas, for which patent protection may be desirable.
There are sound policy reasons behind the Westinghouse system which include the following:
(a) The use of such information by Westinghouse gives Westinghouse a competitive advantage over its competitors. It is, therefore, withheld from disclosure to protect the Westinghouse competitive position.
(b) It is information that is marketable in many ways. The extent to which such information is available to competitors diminishes the Westinghouse ability to sell products and services involving the use of the information.
(c) Use by our competitor would put Westinghouse at a competitive disadvantage by reducing his expenditure of resources at our expense.
4 CAW-] 1-3065 (d) Each component of proprietary information i)ertilnent to a particular competitive advantage is potentially as valuable as the total competitive advantage. If competitors acquire components of proprietary information, any one component may be the key to the entire puzzle, thereby depriving Westinghouse of a competitive advantage.
(e) Unrestricted disclosure would jeopardize the position of prominence of Westinghouse inl the world market, and thereby give a market advantage to the competition of those countries.
(f) The Westinghouse capacity to invest corporate assets in research and development depends upon the success in obtaining and maintaining a competitive advantage.
(iii) The information is being transmitted to the Commission in confidence and, under the provisions of 10 CFR Section 2.390; it is to be received in confidence by the Commission.
(iv) The information sought to be protected is not available in public sources or available information has not been previously employed in the same original manner or method to the best of our knowledge and belief.
(v) The proprietary information sought to be withheld in this submittal is that which is appropriately marked in Florida Power and Light's responses to NRC requests for additional information regarding pressure/temperature limits in the St. Lucie Unit I extended power uprate license amendment request for submittal to the Commission, being transmitted by FPL letter and Application for Withholding Proprietary Information from Public Disclosure, to the Document Control Desk. The proprietary information as submitted by Westinghouse is that associated with KIM influence coefficients due to unit internal pressure for 1/4t inside and 1/4t outside surface flaw and may be used only for that purpose.
5 CAW-1 1-3065 Tills information is part of that which will enable WestinIghouse to:
(a) Support the St. Lucie Unit I extended power uprate license amendment request.
Further this infornlation has substantial commercial value as follows:
(a) Westinghouse plans to sell the use of similar information to its customers for the purpose of justifying the acceptability of pressure/temperature limits.
(b) Westinghouse can sell support and defense of' its methodology for developing pressure/temperature Iiminits.
Public disclosure of this proprietary information is likely to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of Westinghouse because it Would enhance the ability of competitors to provide similar information and licensing defense services for commercial power reactors without commensurate expenses. Also, public disclosure of the information would enable others to use the information to meet NRC requirements for licensing documentation without purchasing the right to use the information.
The development of the technology described in part by the information is the result of applying the results of many years of experience in an intensive Westinghouse effort and the expenditure of a considerable sum of money.
In order for competitors of Westinghouse to duplicate this information, similar technical programs would have to be performed and a significant manpower effort, having the requisite talent and experience, would have to be expended.
Further the deponent sayeth not.
