Ameren Missouri M. August 2011 Callaway Plant NFPA 805 Transition Report License Condition Changes 18 Pages Attached Page M-1 Ameren Missouri Callaway Plant NFPA 805 Transition Report Replace the current Callaway Plant Unit 1 fire protection operating license (OL) condition 2.C(S) with the standard operating license condition in Regulatory Position C.3.1 of Regulatory Guide 1.20S, "Risk-Informed, Performance-Based Fire Protection for Light-Water Nuclear Power Plants," Revision 1, as modified by FAQ 06-0008 Revision 9 (ML073380976), as described below. It is Ameren Missouri's understanding that implicit in the superseding of these license conditions, prior fire protection SERs and commitments have been superseded in their entirety by the revised license condition.

However, Revision OS6 to the Callaway Plant Unit 1 Operating License dated June 26, 2007, added OL condition C.1S "Mitigation Strategy License Condition" in response to Section B.S.b of the February 2S, 2002, "Interim Compensatory Measures Order" (EA-02-026) (TAC No.4S18).

This order requires that strategies for addressing large fires and explosions be maintained for key areas. This OL condition will remain in effect. No other license conditions need to be superseded or revised. Ameren Missouri implemented the following process for determining that OL condition 2.C(S) is the only license condition required to be superseded to implement the new fire protection program which meets the requirements of 10 CFR S0.48(a) and SO.48(c):

A review of the Callaway Plant OL NPF 30, Revision OS6 (which incorporated OL Condition C.1S) and the current Revision 068 was performed by the Callaway Plant licensing staff and the NFPA 80S Transition Team. The review was performed by reviewing the OL and performing electronic searches using the Callaway Plant Licensing Research System (LRS). The Callaway Plant LRS contains Callaway Plant licensing documents, correspondence, and regulatory and guidance materials, including those documents pertaining to the operating license, the Technical Specifications, the fire protection program, the FSAR and subsequent revisions, correspondence sent to the NRC, and correspondence received from the NRC. The correspondence sent to the NRC includes any outstanding license amendment request submittals.

August 2011 Page M-2 Ameren Missouri Callaway Plant NFPA 805 Transition Report Supersede the following license condition 2.C(S): (5) Fire Protection (Section 9.5.1.7 SER and Section 9.5.1.8, SSER #3) (a) Deleted per Amendment No. 169. (b) Deleted per Amendment No. 169. (c) The licensee shall implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved fire protection program as described in the SNUPPS Final Safety Analysis Report for the facility through Revision 15, the Callaway site addendum through Revision 8, and as approved in the SER through Supplement 4, subject to provision d below. (d) The licensee may make changes to the approved fire protection program without prior approval of the Commission only if those changes would not adversely affect the ability to achieve and maintain safe shutdown in the event of a fire. (e) Deleted (see Amendment No. 30, January 13, 1988). New License Condition:

Union Electric shall implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved fire protection program that comply with 10 CFR 50.48(a) and 10 CFR 50.48(c), as specified in the license amendment request dated MM/DDIYYYY (and supplements dated MM/DDIYYYY) and as approved in the safety evaluation report dated MM/DDIYYYY (and supplements dated MM/DDIYYYY).

Except where NRC approval for changes or deviations is required by 10 CFR 50.48(c), and provided no other regulation, technical specification, license condition or requirement would require prior NRC approval, the licensee may make changes to the fire protection program without prior approval of the Commission if those changes satiSfy the provisions set forth in 10 CFR 50.48(a) and 10 CFR 50.48(c), the change does not require a change to a technical specification or a license condition, and the criteria listed below are satisfied.

Risk-Informed Changes that May Be Made Without Prior NRC Approval A risk assessment of the change must demonstrate that the acceptance criteria below are met. The risk assessment approach, methods, and data shall be acceptable to the NRC and shall be appropriate for the nature and scope of the change being evaluated; be based on the as-built, as-operated, and maintained plant; and reflect the operating experience at the plant. Acceptable methods to assess the risk of the change may include methods that have been used in the reviewed fire PRA model, methods that have been approved by NRC through a plant-specific license amendment or NRC approval of generic methods specifically for use in NFPA 805 risk assessments, or methods that have been demonstrated to bound the risk impact. (a) Prior NRC review and approval is not required for changes that clearly result in a decrease in risk. The proposed change must also be consistent with the depth philosophy and must maintain sufficient safety margins. The change may be implemented following completion of the plant change evaluation. (b) Prior NRC review and approval is not required for individual changes that result in a risk increase less than 1 x 10-7/year (yr) for CDF and less than 1 x 1 0-8/yr for LERF. The proposed change must also be consistent with the defense-in-depth philosophy and must maintain sufficient safety margins. The change may be implemented following completion of the plant change evaluation.

The licensee may use an engineering evaluation to demonstrate that a change to an NFPA 805, Chapter 3, element is functionally equivalent to the corresponding technical requirement.

A qualified fire protection engineer shall perform the engineering evaluation and conclude that the change has not affected the functionality of the component, system, procedure or physical arrangement, using a relevant technical requirement or standard.

The licensee may use an engineering evaluation to demonstrate that changes to certain NFPA 805, Chapter 3, elements are acceptable because the alternative is "adequate for the hazard." Prior NRC review and approval would not be required for alternatives to four specific sections of NFPA 805, Chapter 3, for which an engineering evaluation demonstrates that the alternative to the Chapter 3 element is adequate for the hazard. A qualified fire protection engineer shall perform the engineering evaluation and conclude that the change has not affected the functionality of the component, system, procedure or physical arrangement, using a relevant technical requirement or standard.

The four specific sections of NFPA 805, Chapter 3, are as follows: * "Fire Alarm and Detection Systems" (Section 3.8); * "Automatic and Manual Water-Based Fire Suppression Systems" (Section 3.9); * "Gaseous Fire Suppression Systems" (Section 3.10); and * "Passive Fire Protection Features" (Section 3.11). (2) Fire Protection Program Changes that Have No More than Minimal Risk Impact Prior NRC review and approval are not required for changes to the licensee's fire protection program that have been demonstrated to have no more than a minimal risk impact. The licensee may use its screening process as approved in the NRC safety evaluation report dated MM/DDIYYYY to determine that certain fire protection program changes meet the minimal criterion.

The licensee shall ensure that fire protection defense-in-depth and safety margins are maintained when changes are made to the fire protection program. Transition License Conditions (1) Before achieving full compliance with 10 CFR 50.48(c), as specified by (2) below, risk-informed changes to the licensee's fire protection program may not be made without prior NRC review and approval unless the change has been demonstrated to have no more than a minimal risk impact, as described in (2) above.
