The proposed amendment would change TS Surveillance Requirement (SR) 4.6.5.1.d.4 so that it will demonstrate integrity of the Containment Enclosure Building (CEB) rather than operability of the Containment Enclosure Emergency Air Cleanup System (CEEACS). The amendment relocates SR 4.6.5.1.d.4 with modifications to new SR 4.6.5.2.b. The amendment adds a Note and Actions to TS 3.6.5.2. Additionally, the amendment makes some minor wording changes, deletes a definition, and removes a moot footnote.
The application was initially noticed in the Federal Register on July 13, 2010 (75 FR 39979).
The notice was reissued in its entirety to include a revised description of the amendment request on April 17, 2012 (77 FR 22815). The notice was reissued again in its entirety to include a revised description of the amendment request on July 24,2012 (77 FR 43378). The supplement dated January 31, 2013, provided additional information that clarified the application, did not expand the scope of the application as noticed, and did not change the Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff's proposed no significant hazards consideration determination as published in the Federal Register (FR) July 24, 2012.
2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's or the CommiSSion's) regulatory requirements related to the content of the TSs are set forth in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 50.36, "Technical specifications." This regulation requires that the TS include limiting conditions for operation (LCOs), which are the lowest functional capability or performance levels of equipment required for safe operation of the facility. When an LCO of a nuclear reactor is not met, the licensee shall shut down the reactor or follow any remedial action permitted by the TSs until the condition can be met.

2 ADAMS Accession Nos. ML102380100, ML11266A041, ML120790307, ML12195A006 and ML13037A089.
respectively.
Enclosure
- 2 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, requires an applicant for a license to develop a set of principal design criteria that establish the necessary design, fabrication, construction, testing, and performance requirements for structures, systems, and components important to safety. Appendix A provides a set of General Design Criteria (GDC) that establish minimum requirements for the principal design criteria. The appendix further identifies there will be some plants for which fulfillment of the GDC is not necessary. Any departure from the GDC must be identified and justified.
GDC 16, "Containment design," states that reactor containment and associated systems shall be provided to establish an essentially leak-tight barrier 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 19, "Control room," states that a control room shall be provided from which actions can be taken to operate the nuclear power unit safely under normal conditions and to maintain it in a safe condition under accident conditions, including loss-of-coolant accidents (LOCAs).
Adequate radiation protection shall be provided to permit access and occupancy of the control room under accident conditions without personnel receiving radiation exposures in excess of 5 rem whole body, or its equivalent to any part of the body, for the duration of the accident.
GDC 41, "Containment atmosphere cleanup," states that systems to control fission products, hydrogen, oxygen, and other substances which may be released into the reactor containment shall be provided as necessary to reduce, consistent with the functioning of other associated systems, the concentration and quality of fission products released to the environment following postulated accidents, and to control the concentration of hydrogen or oxygen and other substances in the containment atmosphere following postulated accidents to assure that containment integrity is maintained. Each system shall have suitable redundancy in components and features, and suitable interconnections, leak detection, isolation, and containment capabilities to assure that for onsite electric power system operation (assuming offsite power is not available) and for offsite electric power system operation (assuming onsite power is not available) its safety function can be accomplished, assuming a single failure.
GDC 60, "Control of releases of radioactive materials to the environment," states that the nuclear power unit design shall include means to control suitably the release of radioactive materials in gaseous and liquid effluents and to handle radioactive solid wastes produced during normal reactor operation, including anticipated operational occurrences (AOOs).
GDC 64, "Monitoring radioactivity releases," states that means shall be provided for monitoring the reactor containment atmosphere, spaces containing components for recirculation of LOCA fluids, effluent discharge paths, and the plant environs for radioactivity that may be released from normal operations, including AOOs, and from postulated accidents.
10 CFR 50.67, "Accident source term," establishes limits on the accident source term used in deSign basis radiological consequence analyses with regard to radiation exposure to members of the public and to control room occupants.

3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
3.1 Description of Seabrook Containment Systems The Seabrook containment is a reinforced concrete dry structure. which is designed to function at atmospheric conditions. It consists of an upright cylinder topped with a hemispherical dome.
supported on a reinforced concrete foundation mat. A welded steel liner plate. anchored to the inside face of the containment. serves as a leak tight membrane.
Located outside the Containment Building and having a similar geometry is the CEB. This structure provides leak protection for the containment and protects it from certain loads. The containment enclosure completely encloses the containment. forming a second barrier to the uncontrolled escape of radioactive sources in the event of an accident. The space between the Containment and the Enclosure Building is maintained at a slight negative pressure during accident conditions. The containment enclosure includes the emergency core cooling systems (ECCS) equipment vaults and the containment penetration area.
The CEEACS has two functions: (1) to produce a negative pressure post accident in the annular. cylindrical volume between the containment and the containment enclosure. and (2) to collect any hazardous materials that might leak into these areas from the containment structure or equipment and systems located within the enclosure. so that they may be disposed of in a controlled manner.
3.2 Administrative Revision of LCD 3.6.5.1 Wording Currently. LCO 3.6.5.1 states:
3.6.5.1 Two independent Containment Enclosure Emergency Air Cleanup Systems shall be OPERABLE.
The licensee has proposed to modify the wording of LCD 3.6.5.1 as follows:
3.6.5.1 Two independent Containment Enclosure Emergency Air Cleanup System trains shall be OPERABLE.
The licensee proposed an editorial change in TS 3.6.5.1 in which the term "train" is added to the LCO and ACTION in TS 3.6.5.1 in order that reference is made to trains. rather than the systems. The NRC staff accepts the change because it establishes TS that are derived from the analyses in the safety analysis report.
3.3 Deletion of Footnote The licensee has proposed to delete the footnote associated with LCD 3.6.5.1. The footnote provided a one-time extension of the existing action statement from 7 days for one train of the CEEACS inoperable to 14 days. This one-time extension was only applicable to the action statement entry that occurred on June 4, 2006. Since this footnote is no longer applicable. its removal is appropriate and serves to clarify the TS. The NRC staff finds the proposed change to be acceptable, because it is no longer applicable.
-4 3.4 CEEACS SRs Relocation 3.4.1 Licensee Event Report 2010-001 On May 14, 2010 (ADAMS Accession No. ML101390208), NextEra submitted Licensee Event Report (LER) 2010-001 for an event that was discovered on March 17,2010, regarding CEEACS. For approximately 5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> on March 15,2010, and approximately 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> on March 17,2010, a door in the CEB was opened by NextEra to support planned maintenance activities in the charging pump room. The breach in the CEB created by the open door would have prevented both trains of the CEEACS from establishing the minimum required negative pressure in the enclosure. This condition placed the plant in TS 3.0.3, although it was unrecognized by NextEra at that time, and resulted in a loss of safety function for the CEEACS.
As determined by NextEra, the causes of the event included lack of programmatic controls to ensure the control room is notified prior to propping open a CEB door, and historical guidance that led the operators to believe that only TS 3.6.5.2, "Containment Enclosure Boundary Integrity," applied when a CEB door was open. NextEra's planned corrective actions were to strengthen an existing program to address opening CEB doors and revise the TS by this LAR.
3.4.2 NRC Integrated Inspection Report 2010-003 By letter dated August 13, 2010 (ADAMS Accession No. ML102250014), the NRC issued Inspection Report 2010-003. The NRC inspectors reviewed LER 2010-001. The NRC inspectors dispositioned the violation identified by NextEra as a non-cited violation (NCV). This NCV had very low safety significance, because the primary containment barrier remained intact, and the CEEACS function could have been restored upon demand by closing the door.
3.4.3 Standard TSs NRC NUREG-0452, "Standard Technical Specifications for Westinghouse Pressurized Water Reactors," Revision 4 (ADAMS Accession No. ML102590431), dated fall 1981, included Shield Building Air Cleanup System, and Shield Building Integrity technical specifications. NUREG 0452 established the NRC staff position that the surveillance requirement for verifying the Shield Building Air Cleanup System is capable of establishing a negative pressure relative to atmospheric pressure in the Shield Building is a requirement for operability of TS 3/4.6.8.1, "Shield Building Air Cleanup System," and not TS 3/4.6.8.2, "Shield Building Integrity."
In NUREG-1431, Revision 4, "Standard Technical Specifications - Westinghouse Plants," dated April 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12100A222) (improved STS) the NRC staff recognized that the surveillance requirement for the Shield Building Air Cleanup System to establish the minimum required negative pressure in the Shield Building is a test which demonstrates Shield Building integrity. Therefore, improved STS moved the Shield Building negative pressure test to TS 3.6.8, "Shield Building (Dual and Ice Condenser)," from TS 3.6.13, "Shield Building Air Cleanup System (SBACS) (Dual and Ice Condenser)."
3.4.4 Current Seabrook TSs Seabrook current TSs were developed using the guidance of NUREG-0452. Consistent with the staff positions in NUREG-0452, Revision 4, the Seabrook TS 3/4.6.5.1, "Containment Enclosure Emergency Air Cleanup System (CEEACS)," contains a surveillance requirement to
- 5 verify that a negative pressure can be established in the Containment Enclosure Building for the CEEACS to be operable, but this requirement does not apply to TS 3/4.6.5.2, "Containment Enclosure Building Integrity (CEB)" operability.
Seabrook TS Definition 1.31 states:
CONTAINMENT ENCLOSURE BUILDING INTEGRITY shall exist when:
- a. Each door in each access opening is closed except when the access opening is being used for normal transit entry and exit,
- b. The Containment Enclosure Emergency Air Cleanup System is OPERABLE, and
- c. The sealing mechanism associated with each penetration (e.g., welds, bellows, or O-rings) is OPERABLE.
Seabrook TS Definition 1.31, CONTAINMENT ENCLOSURE BUILDING INTEGRITY is used in the limiting condition for operation of TS 3/4.6.5.2, "Containment Enclosure Building Integrity (CEB)," to define Containment Enclosure Building Integrity.
CEEACS TS Surveillance Requirement (SR) 4.6.5.1.dA requires verifying each CEEACS system produces a negative pressure of greater than or equal to 0.25 inch Water Gauge in the annulus [this refers to the volume between containment and the Containment Enclosure Building] within 4 minutes after a start signal. Currently, if one CEEACS train is inoperable, the existing TS 3/4.6.5.1 requires the licensee to restore the train to operable status within 7 days or the plant must be in Cold Shutdown within 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />. Also, as described in LER 2010-001, a breach in the CEB is created each time a CEB door is open and this breach will prevent both trains of the CEEACS from establishing the SR 4.6.5.1.dA minimum required negative pressure in the Enclosure Building. There is no action statement in TS 3/4.6.5.1 for the case where both CEEACS trains are inoperable. In this situation, operation of the plant is governed by LCO 3.0.3, which requires a controlled plant shutdown even though both trains of CEEACS would start and run to produce the airflow to drawdown the annulus.
TS 3/4.6.5.2, Containment Enclosure Building Integrity and TS 3/4.6.5.3, Containment Enclosure Building Structural Integrity, require the integrity and leak tightness of the CEB, respectively. When either of these LCOs are not met, TSs allow 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> to restore their respective CEB limits; otherwise a plant shutdown is required.
304.5 Proposed Seabrook Technical Specification Changes NextEra proposed to relocate CEEACS SR 4.6.5.1.dA to CEB Integrity TSs as SR 4.6.5.2.b, consistent with improved STS, so that the CEB annulus drawdown surveillance test demonstrates CEB integrity rather than CEEACS operability. Thus, the proposed changes will remove the dependence between LCO 3.6.5.1 and LCO 3.6.5.2 that exists in the current TSs.
The result of eliminating the dependence between the two TSs is that inoperability of the CEEACS or the CEB requires entering only the Action of the applicable TS 3.6.5.1 or TS3.6.5.2, respectively.
-6 In addition, NextEra proposed to modify SR 4.6.5.1.dA (new SR 4.6.5.2.b) to require testing be performed using one train of CEEACS on an alternate basis:
At least once per 36 months on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS by verifying the containment enclosure building can be maintained at a negative pressure greater than or equal to 0.25 inch Water Gauge by one train of the containment enclosure air cleanup system within 4 minutes after a start signal.
The Seabrook TS defines STAGGERED TEST BASIS as follows:
- a. A test schedule for n systems, subsystems, trains, or other designated components obtained by dividing the specified test interval into n equal subintervals, and
- b. The testing of one system, subsystem, train or other designated component at the beginning of each subinterval.
Applying a 36-month frequency on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS to new SR 4.6.5.2.b requires that the test be performed every 18 months using alternating trains of the CEEACS to ensure that either train of the CEEACS is capable of establishing Containment Enclosure Building Integrity.
3.4.6 NRC Review The Seabrook Updated Safety Evaluation Report (UFSAR), Chapter 6, "Engineered Safety Features,n states the following:
One train of the Containment Enclosure Emergency Cleanup System is required to be able to draw down the entire Containment Enclosure Area to a negative differential pressure of 0.25 inch water gauge."
The Seabrook UFSAR also states, U[t]his negative differential pressure has to be established within 8 minutes following a LOCA."
The NRC staff reviewed the proposed change. The proposed SR 4.6.5.2.b verifies that the building can be drawn down to a negative pressure greater than or equal to 0.25 inch Water Gauge using one train of CEEACS within 4 minutes after a start signal. This 4 minute time limit ensures the Containment Enclosure Building negative differential pressure will be within required limits in 8 minutes following a LOCA in accordance with the Seabrook UFSAR. Since the proposed SR 4.6.S.2.b is a CEB boundary integrity test, it does not need to be performed with each CEEACS train during each surveillance frequency. Therefore, SR 4.6.5.2.b requires testing by one CEEACS train on a staggered test basis to ensure that either train can be used to meet the test. The primary purpose of this SR is to demonstrate CEB integrity. The secondary purpose of this SR is to ensure that the CEEACS train used for the test will function as designed. The proposed relocation of the CEB annulus drawdown SR from CEEACS to CEB integrity assures that the necessary quality of TS required safety systems are maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the limiting conditions for operation will be met. This change is also consistent with the NRC staff position in NUREG-1431, Revision 4.0 in that NUREG-1431 SRs for ensuring Containment Enclosure Building Integrity are located in
-7 Containment Enclosure Building Integrity TS and SRs for ensuring containment air cleanup system operability are located in the containment air cleanup system TS. Successfully completing proposed SR 4.6.5.2.b will demonstrate that the CEB can be drawn down to the required negative pressure of greater than or equal to 0.25 inch Water Gauge using one train of CEEACS within 4 minutes after a CEEACS start signal. This 4 minutes limit ensures the building has established the required negative differential pressure within 8 minutes following a LOCA in accordance with the Seabrook UFSAR. Therefore, the NRC staff finds the proposed SR 4.6.5.2.b acceptable and meets GDC 16.
Current SR 4.6.5.2 (new SR 4.6.5.2.a) demonstrates CONTAINMENT ENCLOSURE BUILDING INTEGRITY exists, when (a.) Each door in each access opening is closed except when the access opening is being used for normal transit entry and exit, (b.) The Containment Enclosure Emergency Air Cleanup System is Operable, and (c.) The sealing mechanism associated with each penetration (e.g., welds, bellows, or O-rings) is Operable, at least once per 31 days by verifying that the door in each access opening is closed except when the access opening is being used for normal transit entry and exit.
Proposed SR 4.6.5.2.a also demonstrates the current surveillance requirements to verify access openings are closed, the CEEACS is Operable, and sealing mechanisms associated with each penetration are Operable at the same frequency without relying on the defined term "CONTAINMENT ENCLOSURE BUILDING INTEGRITY." SR 4.6.5.3 also maintains the structural integrity of the CEB. The NRC reviewed the proposed SR 4.6.5.2.a and the proposed removal of definition 1.31 from Seabrook TS by this license amendment request and concludes that since the current Containment Integrity LCO 3.6.5.2 test requirements (SR 4.6.5.2) for demonstrating compliance with the current TS Definition 1.31 are preserved in proposed SR 4.6.5.2.a and SR 4.6.5.3 without reliance on the defined term CONTAINMENT ENCLOSURE BUILDING INTEGRITY, it is acceptable to remove the definition from the proposed TS 3/4.6.5.2 limiting condition for operation and proposed SR 4.6.5.2.a.
3.5 Note and Actions of TS 3.6.5.2 In response to the NRC's staff's concern that a 24-hour allowance to restore CEB integrity is not an appropriate limit when performing maintenance on CEB doors, NextEra proposed to revise the Actions of T8 3.6.5.2 to the following:
- a. Without containment enclosure building integrity due to other than (b), restore containment enclosure building integrity within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. Otherwise be in at least HOT STANDBY within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and in COLD SHUTDOWN within the following 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />.
- b. Without containment enclosure building integrity when equipment ingress and egress requires the access door to be maintained open, verify a dedicated individual, who is in continuous communication with the control room, is available to rapidly close the door; and restore containment enclosure building integrity within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. Otherwise be in at least HOT STANDBY within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and in COLD SHUTDOWN within the following 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />.
Action (a) would apply when CEB integrity is not maintained due to reasons other than Action (b). NextEra stated that the duration for completing maintenance involving CEB doors is in the range of approximately 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. The NRC staff considered the limited leakage design of Seabrook containment, the low probability of a design-basis accident occurring during the Action time that results in a release of fission products, and the risks associated with an immediate plant shutdown. The staff notes that 10 CFR 50.67 and the General Design Criteria define design requirements. It is noted that the licensee did not request to revise their design requirements in the license amendment request. The licensee requested to revise its TSs, which are operational restrictions on a plant and include the actions that the staff find acceptable when the plant is not meeting the LCO. Based on engineering judgment, the staff has determined that allowing the licensee 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> to perform the action to avoid an unnecessary transient provides reasonable assurance that adequate protection will be maintained. Therefore, the NRC finds Action (a) acceptable.
Action (b) would apply when CEB integrity is not maintained for equipment ingress and egress which requires the access door to be maintained open. Action (b) requires a dedicated individual, who is in continuous communication with the control room, to be available to rapidly close the door. Action (b) requires that CEB integrity be restored within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. By letter dated January 31, 2013, NextEra stated that:
Proposed Action b provides a 24-hour completion time for the condition in which an operable containment enclosure boundary door is held open to support movement of equipment through the access opening, or routing hoses, cables, etc., through the access opening. This action requires the availability of a dedicated individual with a preplanned method to rapidly close the containment enclosure boundary door in the event of actuation of the CEEACS. The dedicated individual must be stationed at the door and have continuous communications capability with the control room. Hoses and cables running through the access opening must employ a means that allows prompt removal of the obstruction to permit closure of the door without delay.
Based on the requirements in the above paragraph, the limited leakage design of Seabrook containment, the low probability of a design-basis accident occurring during the Action time that results in a release of fission products, and engineering judgment, the NRC staff finds Action (b) acceptable.
The proposed change to TS 3.6.5.2 is revised with the addition of an Action Note that states entry into Action is not required when the access opening is being used for normal transit entry or exit. Seabrook's current CONTAINMENT ENCLOSURE BUILDING INTEGRITY TS Definition 1.31 states, "CONTAINMENT ENCLOSURE BUILDING INTEGRITY shall exist when:
(a) Each door in each access opening is closed except when the access opening is being used for normal transit entry and exit, (b) The Containment Enclosure Emergency Air Cleanup System is OPERABLE, and (c) The sealing mechanism associated with each penetration (e.g.,
welds, bellows, or a-rings) is OPERABLE." The proposed Action Note is consistent with the existing TS Definition 1.31 that each door in each access opening is closed except when the access opening is being used for normal transit entry and exit. Since TS Definition 1.31 is being deleted (see Section 3.6), the NRC staff finds the addition of the Note acceptable.
- 9 3.6 Deletion of Definition Relocating the CEEACS SRs as described in Section 3.4 above, the result is that the dependence between TS 3.6.5.1 and TS 3.6.5.2 is eliminated. As a result of eliminating the dependence, TS Definition 1.31, "Containment Enclosure Building Integrity," requires a change to be consistent with the revised TS. The definition states, in part, that CEB integrity exists when..... The Containment Enclosure Emergency Air cleanup system is Operable.... "
Operability of the CEEACS has no impact on the integrity of the CEB. Integrity exists regardless of whether the CEEACS is operable when the containment enclosure access doors are closed except during normal transit and when the containment enclosure boundary pressure seals are intact.
The NRC staff has reviewed the proposed deletion of TS Definition 1.31 and the NRC staff finds it acceptable.
3.7 Summary The NRC staff reviewed the proposed changes to relocate SR 4.6.5.1.d.4 with modifications to new SR 4.6.5.2.b, to add a Note and Actions to TS 3.6.5.2, to make some minor wording changes, deletion of a definition, and removal of a moot footnote. Based on the discussion above, the NRC staff finds the proposed changes acceptable.
This amendment applies to the Seabrook license and takes into consideration the Seabrook specific design considerations. Thus, it should not be construed a generic approval for such licensing actions including, but not limited to, a TS Task Force Travelers or a Consolidated Line Item Improvement Process.
4.0 STATE CONSULTATION
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the New Hampshire and Massachusetts State officials were notified of the proposed issuance of the amendment. The State officials provided no comments.
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
The amendment changes a requirement with respect to the installation or use of facility components 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, and there has been no public comment on such finding (75 FR 39979, 77 FR 22815, and 77 FR 43378). Accordingly, the amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). The amendment also makes editorial and corrections and thus meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(1 0). 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.
