Possession-Only License DPR-45 License Amendment Request Following Completion of Dry Cask Storage

I) LACBWR Possession Only License No. DPR-45 Amendment 69, and Appendix A, Technical Specifications, Amendment 71.

2) LACBWR Quality Assurance Program Description, Revision 25.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, Dairyland Power Cooperative (DPC) requests changes to the LACBWR Possession Only License and Appendix A, Technical Specifications (TS). These are changes are being requested as a result of the successful completion of dry cask storage.

The proposed changes to the LACBWR Possession Only License and TS are requested to revise certain license conditions and to remove TS definitions, operational requirements, and specific design requirements that are no longer applicable with all spent fuel in dry cask storage at the ISFSI. The proposed changes to the TS also remove administrative control requirements that have been relocated to the LACBWR Quality Assurance Program Description (QAPD) or are superseded by regulation or other guidance.

Based on our evaluation, DPC concludes that the proposed amendment to the LACBWR Possession Only License and TS presents no significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c), and, accordingly, a finding of "no significant hazards consideration" is justified.

If you have any questions concerning this license amendment request, please contact Don Egge, LACBWR Plant/ISFSI Manager at (608) 689-4207.

LAC- 14263 ATTACHMENT 2 ATTACHMENT 2 Evaluation of Proposed Changes

LAC-14263 ATTACHMENT 2 License Amendment Request Following Completion of Dry Cask Storage EVALUATION OF PROPOSED CHANGES

1.0 BACKGROUND

LACBWR was permanently shutdown April 30, 1987. The total inventory of 333 spent fuel assemblies and fuel debris has been loaded into five NAC-MPC dry cask storage systems and placed into an ISFSI.

Cask loading operations were completed September 19, 2012.

The proposed changes to the LACBWR License and Technical Specifications (TS) discussed in the following are requested to revise certain license conditions and to remove TS definitions, operational requirements, and specific design requirements that are no longer applicable with all spent fuel in dry cask storage at the ISFSI. The proposed changes to the TS also remove administrative control requirements that have been relocated to the LACBWR Quality Assurance Program Description (QAPD) or are superseded by regulation or other guidance. DPC requests that the amended license and changes to TS, if approved, shall become effective 30 days from the date of issuance.

2.0 PROPOSED CHANGE

S TO POPS" ONLY LICENSE DPR-45 2.1 DPC proposes to revise License Condition .. *3), "Physical Protection," by removing obsolete references to the September 24, 1987, Physical Security Plan as amended by letters dated March 28, 1988, and April 28, 1988. The license condition is revised with update by describing the "Physical Security Plan for La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor (LACBWR)," as revised and reflecting exemptions to 10 CFR 73.55 grantedJune 2012. The LACBWR Physical Security Plan is NRC-approved and compliant with 10 CFR 73.55, as exempted.

2.1.1 Technical and Regulatorv Basis In accordance with NRC requirements, DPC established compliance with 10 CFR 73.55 for both the plant and the ISFSI. Certain exemptions to 10 CFR 73.55 were requested and granted. The proposed changes to the license condition reflect the current status of the LACBWR Physical Security Plan and remove outdated and obsolete references. Therefore, revision of this license condition is acceptable.

2.2 DPC proposes to revise License Condition 2.C.(4), "Fire Protection," by removing the exception for changes to the Fire Protection Program not adversely affecting the ability to maintain the fuel in the Fuel Element Storage Well (FESW) in a safe condition in the event of a fire. It is added that changes to the Fire Protection Program may be made without prior NRC approval if these changes do not decrease the effectiveness offire protectionfor facilities, systems, and equipment which could result in a radiologicalhazard,taking into accountthe decommissioningplant conditions and activities.

2.2.1 Technical and Regulatory Rasis The latter portion of this license condition addresses the ability to maintain the fuel in the FESW in a safe condition in the event of a fire. Following transfer of all spent fuel to the ISFSI, this license condition is no longer applicable. Revising the license condition to require that effectiveness of fire protection is not decreased during decommissioning plant conditions and activities ensures the intent of the license condition remains intact. Therefore, revision of this license condition to remove reference to spent fuel storage in the FESW is acceptable.

2.3 DPC proposes to revise License Condition 2.D by adding "and No. 69, April 11, 1997," to reflect the addition of the current proposed license amendment.

Page 1 ofL 14

LAC-14263 ATTACHMENT 2 2.3.1 Technical and Regulatory Basis This change is administrative to reflect changes to the license resulting from this proposed license amendment and is therefore acceptable.

3.0 PROPOSED CHANGE

S TO APPENDIX A, TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 3.1 DPC proposes to delete TS Section 1, "Definitions," in its entirety. TS Section 1 currently states:

The following terms are defined so that uniform interpretationof these specifications may be achieved. When these terms appear in capitalizedtype, the following definitions apply in these Technical Specifications.

ACTION ACTION shall be thatpart of a specification which prescribes remedial measures requiredunder designated conditions.

CHANNEL CALIBRATION A CHANNEL CALIBRATION shall be the adjustment, as necessary, of the channel outputs such that it responds with the necessary range and accuracy to known values of the parameterwhich the channel monitors. The CHANNEL CALIBRATION shall encompass the entire channel including the sensor and the alarm and/or tripfinctions. The CHANNEL CALIBRATION may be performed by any series of sequential, overlappingor total channel steps such that the entire channel is calibrated.

FUEL HANDLING FUEL HANDLING shall be the movement of individual spentfitel assemblies within the Reactor Building. Suspension of FUEL HANDLING shall not preclude completion of movement of a spentfuel assembly to a safe, conservative position. FUEL HANDLING,for the purposes of these Technical Specifications,does not include the movement of an NRC-certified spentftel storage canister, transfer cask, or storage cask containingspentftel in accordance with the dry cask storage system's 10 CFR 72 Certificate of Compliance.

OPERABLE-OPERABILITY A system, subsystem, train, component or device shall be OPERABLE or have OPERABILITY when it is capable ofperforming its specifiedfinction(s) and when all necessary attendant instrumentation,controls, a normal or an alternate electricalpower source, cooling or seal water, lubricationor other auxiliary equipment that are requiredfor the system, subsystem, train, component or device to perform its finction(s) are also capable ofperforming their related supportfimnction(s).

3.1.1 Technical and Regulatory Basis With all spent fuel transferred from the Fuel Element Storage Well (FESW) to dry cask storage at the ISFSI, there are no longer Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCOs) for storage of spent fuel in the FESW; therefore, the terms ACTION and OPERABLE-OPERABILITY are not applicable to spent fuel storage in the FESW. With all spent fuel transferred to dry cask storage at the ISFSI, there are no longer instruments monitoring fuel storage conditions in the FESW and there will not be any more fuel handling operations in the FESW; therefore, the terms CHANNEL CALIBRATION and FUEL HANDLING are not applicable. These definitions are either no longer applicable, or are redundant with definitions in other regulations. Therefore, deleting TS Section 1 in its entirety is acceptable.

Page 2 of 14

LAC-14263 ATTACHMENT 2 3.2. DPC proposes to revise TS Section 2, "Design Features." The proposed. change revises TS Section 2.1, "Site," by deleting the title and description of EXCLUSION AREA and adding a standard description of the site location as in the following:

2.1 SITE The facility is located in Vernon County, Wisconsin, on the east bank of the MississippiRiver, approximately one mile south of Genoa, Wisconsin, as described in License Condition 2.A.

The proposed change to TS Section 2 deletes TS Section 2.2, "Fuel Storage while in the Fuel Element Storage Well," in its entirety and replaces it with the following:

2.2 FUEL STORAGE A maximum of 333*spentifzel assembliesfrom the La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor are stored in 5 dry casks within an Independent Spent Fuel StorageInstallation (ISFSI).

TS Section 2, "Design Features," currently ,t-'es:

2.1 SITE EXCLUSION AREA 2.1.1 The exclusion area shall be as described in tke Off-Site Lose CalculationManual.

2.2 FUEL STORMGE WHILE IN THE FUEL ELEMENT STOPRAGE WELL CRITICALITY 2.2.1 The spentfitel storage racks are designed with a nominal 7. 0 inch center- to-center distance between fuel assemblies in each individual rack assembly, with a boron impregnated poison plate between adjacentstorage locations to ensure Keff of < 0.95 when flooded with unborated water.

FUEL RESTRICTIONS 2.2.2 Fuel stored in the storage well is restrictedto fitel with stainless steel cladding which has a U-235 loadingof < 22.6 grams per axial centimeter offitel assembly.

DRAINAGE 2.2.3 The Fuel Element Storage Well is designed and shall be maintained to prevent an inadvertent drainingof the well below elevation of 679 feet MSL while spentfitel assemblies are in the FuelElement Storage Well.

CAPACITY 2.2.4 The Fuel Element Storage Wel! was designedfor a storage capacity of no more than 440 fuel assemblies. The maximum ntmber offuel assemblies stored in the Fuel Element Storage Well is limited to 333 spe:.tfuel assemblies.

3.2.1 Technical and Regulatory Basis 3.2. 1.1 The proposed change to TS Section 2.1 removes the redundant description of the 10 CFR Part 100 exclusion area contained in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual. A more standard description of the site, paraphrasing and referencing that found in License Condition 2.A, is added. Describing the facility Page 3 of 14

LAC- 14263 ATTACHMENT 2 location consistent with the description in the cited license condition provides standard information and is therefore acceptable.

3.2.1.2 The proposed change to TS Section 2.2 removes FESW design characteristics for criticality control, fuel restrictions, drainage, and storage capacity that are no longer applicable with all spent fuel transferred to dry cask storage at the ISFSI. The title of TS Section 2.2 is changed to "Fuel Storage" to be consistent with License Condition 2.B.(2). The text of TS Section 2.2 is revised to clearly indicate how spent nuclear fuel is being stored in 5 dry casks at the ISFSI and declaring that a maximum of 333 LACBWR spent fuel assemblies shall be stored at the ISFSI. With no spent fuel stored in the FESW, there are no longer concerns regarding criticality, drainage, or capacity. Therefore, the proposed revision is acceptable.

3.3 DPC proposes to delete TS Section 3, "Applicability," in its entirety. TS Section 3 currently states:

LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERA TION 3.1 Limiting Conditionsfor Operýt~ion and ACTION requirementsshall be applicable during the specified applicableconditionfor each specification.

3.2 Adherence to the requirements of the Lrmiting Conditionfor Operation and/or associated ACTION within the specified time interval shall constitute compliance with the specification. In the event the Limiting Conditionfor Operation is restoredpriorto expiration of the specified time interval, completion of the ACTION statement is not required.

3.3 Entry into specified applicabilitystate shall not be made unless the conditions of the Limiting Conditionfor Operation are met without reliance on provisions contained in the ACTION statements unless otherwise excepted.

SUR VEILLANCE REQ UIREMENTS 3.4 Surveillance Requirements shall be applicable during the specified applicable conditions for individualLimiting Conditionsfor Operation unless otherwise stated in an individual Surveillance Requirement.

3.5 Each SurveillanceRequirement shall be performed within the specified surveillance interval with a maximum allowable extension not to exceed 25 percent of the specified surveillance interval.

3.6 Performance of a Surveillance Requirement within the specified time interval shall constitute compliance with OPERABILITY requirementsfor a Limiting Conditionfor Operation and associatedACTION statements unless otherwise required by the specification. Surveillance requirementsdo not have to be performed on inoperableequipment or on equipment not required to be OPERABLE.

3.7 Entry into a specified applicable condition shall not be made unless the Surveillance Requirement(s) associatedwith the Limiting Conditionfor Operation have been performed within the statedsurveillance interval or as otherwise specified.

3.3.1 Teclrical and Regulatory Basis 3.3.1.1 TS Sections 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 establish the general requirements applicable to LCOs. As discussed following, with all spent fuel in dry cask storage at the JSFSI, TS Section 4/5 LCOs related to spent fuel storage in the FESW are no longer required thereby eliminating the need for TS Sections 3.1, Page 4 of 14

LAC-14263 ATTACHMENT 2 3.2, and 3.3. Consequently, deleting general requirements for LCOs contained in TS Sections 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 is acceptable.

3.3.1.2 Surveillance Requirements ensure that conditions specified by the LCO are met. TS Sections 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6 specify the conditions when surveillances are required, the required frequency for surveillances, and what constitutes non-compliance with LCO operability requirements. As discussed following, with all spent fuel in dry cask storage at the ISFSI, TS Section 4/5 LCOs related to spent fuel storage in the FESW are to be deleted thereby eliminating the need for TS Sections 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6.

Consequently, deleting surveillance requirements in TS Sections 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6 and thus TS Section 3 in its entirety is acceptable.

3.4 DPC proposes to delete TS Section 4/5, "Performance Requirements," in its entirety. TS Section 4/5 currently states:

4.1 FUEL STORA GE AND HANDLING 4.1.1 GENERAL FUEL STORA GE ANDO HANDLING REQUIREMENTS 4.1.1.1 Spentfitel assemblies shall be sto;redunderwaterin spentfuel storage racks that are positionedon the bottom of the Fuel Elemen'it Storage Well or in an approveddry spentfitel storage cask.

4.1.1.2 Duringthe handling of spentfuel assemblies that have been operated at power levels greater than 1 Mwt, the depth of water in the Fuel Element Storage Well and the contiguous cask pool shall be at least 2feet above the activefuel, and only one spentfitel assembly will be moved at a time.

4.1.1.3 No object heavier than 25 tons shall be handled over spentfitel assemblies located in the Fuel Element Storage Well or cask pool. Lifting and movement of afuel-loaded storage canister and transfer cask shall be performed using the single-failure-proofcask handlingcrane lifting system meeting the guidance in NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.6. Lifting and movement of objects over spentfuel assemblies located in the Fuel Element Storage Well or caskpool shall be performed in accordance with the LA CB WR NUREG-0612 commitments and the dedicated project heavy load controlplan.

4.1.2 FUEL ELEMENT STORAGE WELL AND CASK POOL LIMITING CONDITIONFOR OPERATION Note This LCO does not apply to the caskpool if the spentfuel storage canisterlid is in place in the canister or if there are no spentfituel assemblies in the cask pool.

The Fuel Element Storage Well (FESW)and cask pool shall meet thefollowing requirements.:

a. The FuelElement Storage Well and cask pool water level shall be at least l feet, 61/2/2 inches above any spentfuel assembly stored in the spentfuel storage racks or in spent fuel storage canister in the cask pool, and

b. Water in the storage well and cask pool shall be maintainedat a temperature < 150 0F.

APPLICABILITY- While spentfuel assemblies are in the FESW or the cask pool.

Page 5 of 14

LAC- 14263 ATTACHMENT 2 ACTIONS

a. With water level less than required by the LCO, take immediate action to restore water level and suspend all operations involving FUEL HANDLING.

b. With water temperaturein the storage well or cask pool above 150 0F, take actions to reduce water temperature to < 150°F within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months and suspend all operations involving FUEL HANDLING.

SUR VEILLANCE RE_UIREMENTS Note SR 5.1.2.1 and 5.1.2.2 do not apply to the caskpool if the spentfitel storage canisterlid is in place in the canister or if there are no spenifuel assemblies in the cask pool.

5.1.2.1 The Fuel Element Storage We'! and cask pool water level and temperatureshall be verified at least once per 12 hours1.388889e-4 days 0.00333 hours 1.984127e-5 weeks 4.566e-6 months .

5.1.2.2 The Fuel Element Storage Well anzd caskpool water level indication channel shall be calibrated(CHANNEL CALIBRATION) at least once per 18 months.

3.4.1 Technical and Regulatory Basis 3.4.1.1 General fuel storage and handling requirements contained in TS Section 4.1. ! define location of spent fuel storage, minimum water level during movement of a specified single fuel assembly in the FESW or cask pool, and NUJREG-0612 heavy load controls over spent fuel stored in the FESW or cask pool. These general requirements are no longer applicable with all spent fuel in dry cask storage at the ISFSI. The location of spent fuel storage is addressed in the revised TS Section 2.2. Therefore, deleting TS Section 4.1.1 is acceptable.

3.4.1.2 TS Section 4.1.2 established LCOs and Surveillance Requirements for water level and water temperature when spent fuel was located in the FESW or cask pool. These LCOs and Surveillance Requirements for FESW and cask pool water level and water temperature are no longer applicable with all spent fuel in dry cask storage at the ISFSI. Therefore, deleting TS Section 4.1.2 is acceptable.

3.4.1.3 With deletion of TS Sections 4.1.1 and, 4.1.2, the deletion of TS Section 4.1 title, "Fuel Storage and Handling," and thus TS Section 4/5 in its entirety is likewise acceptable. The location of spent fuel storage is addressed in the revised TS Section 2.2.

3.5 DPC proposes to delete TS Section 6, "cAdministrative Controls," in its entirety. TS Section 6 currently states:

6.1 RESPONSIBILITY 6.1.1 The PiantAfanager shall be responsiblefor overallfacility operationand shall delegate in writing the succession to this responsibility during his absence.

6.1.2 A Control Room Operatorshall be responsiblefor the ControlRoom commandfunction.

6.6 HIGHRADIATION AREA 6.6.1 In lieu of the "controldevice" or "alarmsignal" requiredby paragraph20.1601(a) of 10 CFR 20, each high radiationarea in which the intensity of radiation,at .30 cm from the radiation source or surface that the radiationpenetrates, is greaterthan 100 mrem/hr but less than 1000 mrem/hr shall be barricadedand conspicuously posted as a high radiationareaand entrance thereto shall be controlled by requiringissuance of a Special Work Permit (SWP).

Any individual or group of individualspermitted to enter such areas shall be provided with one or more of the following:

a. A radiationmonitoring device which continuously indicates the radiationdose rate in the area.

Health Physics personnelorpersonnelescorted by Health Physicspersonnel shall be exempt from the SWP issuance requirementduring the performance of their assigned radiationprotection duties, provided they arefollowing plant radiationprotectionproceduresfor entry into high radiationareas.

b. A radiationmonitoring device which continuously integrates the radiationdose rate in the areaand alarms when a preset integrateddose is received. Entry into such areas with this monitoringdevice may be made after the dose rate levels in the area have been establishedand personnel have been made knowledgeable of them.

c. A health physics qualified individual (i.e., qualified in radiationprotection procedures)with a radiationdose rate monitoring device and who is responsiblefor Page 10 of 14

LAC- 14263 ATTACHMENT 2 providingpositive exposure control over the activities within the area and who will perform periodic radiationsur;eillanceat the frequency which will be established by the Health and Safety Supervisor or applicable SWP.

6.6.2 For each area with radiationlevels greaterthan 1000 mrem/hr, at 30 cm (but less than 500 Rad/hr at I meter) from radiationsource, orfrom any surface penetrated by the radiation, the control of Specification 6.6.1 shall be implemented and also:

(1) Each entrance or access point to the area shall be maintainedlocked except duringperiods when access to the area is required.Positive control over each individual entry shall be by.:

a. Maintainingthe locked door keys under administrative control of the CertifiedFuel Handler on duty or the Health and Safety Supervisor.

b. An approved SWP that specifies the dose rates in the immediate work areas and the maximum allowable stay time for individuals in that area.

3.5.1 Technical and Regulatory Basis 3.5. 1.1 TS Section 6.1, "Responsibility," establishes responsibilities for the Plant Manager and the control room command function for the Control Room Operator. An equivalent description of the Plant/ISFSI Manager's responsibility is established in the LACBWR QAPD. Providing the responsibility description in the LACBWR QAPD is consistent with the guidance in NRC Administrative Letter 95-06.

With no spent fuel stored in the FESW, the control room command function of the Contiol Room Operator is no longer applicable and is deleted. Therefore, deleting the organizational responsibility controls from TS Section 6.1 is acceptable because an equivalent description for the Plant/ISFSI Manager exists in the LACBWR QAPD consistent with the guidance in NRC Administrative Letter 95-06, and the control room command function of the Control Room Operator is not applicable when no spent fuel is stored in the FESW.

3.5.1.2 TS Section 6.2, "Organization," establishes minimum facility staffing requirements in TS Section 6.2.1.1 whet:; fuel is stored in the FESW, supervision requirements during fuel handling, radiation protection personnel requirements, and additional staffing requirements during fuel handling. A footnote provides direction for situations when minimum staffing requirements are not met. With transfer of all spent fuel to dry cask storage at the ISFSI, no fuel handling will be performed, and these facility staffing requirements are no longer applicable. Therefore, deleting these facility staffing requirements contained in TS Section 6.2.1.1 is acceptable.

TS Section 6.2 also contains working hour restrictions in TS Section 6.2.1.2, "Overtime Policy." In accordance with TSTF-5 11 (Reference 6.5), TS Section 6.2.1.2 is being deleted because 10 CFR Part 26, Subpart I requirements supersede TS requirements, rendering the TS requirements unnecessary and potentially conflicting with regulation. Therefore, deleting TS Section 6.2.1.2 and thus TS Section 6.2 in its entirety is acceptable.

3.5.1.3 TS Section 6.3, "Facility Staff Qualifications," establishes minimum qualification requirements for facility staff. Facility staff qualification requirements have been established in the LACBWR QAPD.

Providing staff qualification requirements in the LACBWR QAPD is consistent with the guidance in NRC Administrative Letter 95-06. Therefore, deleting facility staff qualification requirements from TS Section 6.3 is acceptable because an equivalent description of facility staff qualification requirements exists in the LACBWR QAPD consistent with the guidance in NRC Administrative Letter 95-06.

3.5.1.4 TS Section 6.4, "Program Requirements," establishes requirements for the Process Control Program, the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual, the Radioactive Effluent Controls Program, and the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program. These program requirements have been relocated to Page t1 of 14

LAC-14263 ATTACHMENT 2 the LACBWR QAPD unchanged with the one exception that the Radioactive Effluent Controls Program no longer includes limitations on noble gas releases to areas beyond the site boundary. With all spent fuel in dry cask storage at the ISFSI, release of krypton-85 is precluded. Therefore, deleting program requirements from TS Section 6.4 is acceptable because an equivalent description of these program requirements exists in the LACBWR QAPD consistent with the guidance in NRC Administrative Letter 95-06.

3.5.1.5 TS Section 6.5, "Reporting Requirements," specifies reports that shall be submitted on an annual basis. These reports are specified in TS Section 6.5.1. 1(a) through (d). The deletion of these reporting requirements from TS is addressed in the following.

TS Section 6.5.1. 1(a) requires submittal of an annual tabulation of personnel dose. This reporting requirement is being deleted in accordance with TSTF-369 (Reference 6.4) 10 CFR 20.2206(c) specifically requires that each licensee file a report of radiation exposures and radioactive material intake for monitored personnel no later than April 30 of each year covering the previous year. NRC Form 5 or electronic media including the equivalent of NRC Form 5 is used for this purpose. Therefore, deleting TS Section 6.5.1. 1(a) is acceptable.

TS Section 6.5.1.1 (b) requires submittal of an annual report containing a brief description of changes, tests, and experiments conducted under the criteria of 10 CFR 50.59. This requirement is established in regulation and is redundant. Therefore, deleting TS Section 6.5.1. 1(b) is acceptable.

TS Section 6.5.1.1 (c) requires submittal of an annual Environmental Radiological Monitoring Report.

This reporting requirement has been relocated to the LACBWR QAPD. Therefore, deleting the reporting requirement from TS Section 6.5.1. 1(c) is acceptable because an equivalent reporting requirement exists in the LACBWR QAPD consistent with the guidance in NRC Administrative Letter 95-06.

TS Section 6.5.1. 1(d) requires submittal of an annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report. This reporting requirement has been relocated to the LACBWR QAPD. Therefore, deleting the reporting requirement from TS Section 6.5.1. 1(d) is acceptable because an equivalent reporting requirement exists in the LACBWR QAPD consistent with the guidance in NRC Administrative Letter 95-06.

As a result of that described above, deleting TS Section 6.5, "Reporting Requirements," is acceptable.

3.5.1.6 TS Section 6.6, "High Radiation Area," specifies the requirements for the posting and control of access to high radiation areas. These posting and control requirements for high radiation areas, including footnote, have been relocated to the LACBWR QAPD with responsibility changes for Radiation Protection personnel in lieu of Health Physics personnel, and maintenance of administrative control of locked door keys by the Plant/ISFSI Manager or delegate in lieu of a Certified Fuel Handler or the Health and Safety Supervisor. Therefore, deleting high radiation area requirements from TS Section 6.6 is acceptable because an equivalent description of these requirements exists in the LACBWR QAPD consistent with the guidance in NRC Administrative Letter 95-06.

As a result of the foregoing, deleting TS Section 6, "Administrative Controls," is acceptable.

4.0 NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION DPC has evaluated whether or not a significant hazards consideration is involved with the proposed amendment for LACBWR by focusing on the three standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92, "Issuance of Amendment," as discussed below:

4.1 Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?

Page 12 of 14

LAC-14263 ATTACHMENT 2 No. The proposed changes reflect the complete transfer of all spent nuclear fuel from the Fuel Element Storage Well (FESW) to the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI). Design basis SAFSTOR accidents related to the FESW were discussed in the LACBWR Decommissioning Plan.

These postulated accidents were predicated on spent nuclear fuel being stored in the FESW. With the removal of the spent fuel from the FESW, there are no remaining important to safety systems required to be monitored and there are no remaining credible accidents that require that actions of a Certified Fuel Handler to prevent occurrence or mitigate the consequences.

The LACBWR Decommissioning Plan provided a discussion of radiological events postulated to occur during SAFSTOR with the bounding consequence resulting from a materials handling event. The proposed changes do not have an adveise impact on decommissioning activities or any postulated consequences.

The proposed change to the Design Features section of the Technical Specifications clarifies that the spent fuel is being stored in dry casks within an ISFSi. The probability or consequences of accidents at the ISFSI are evaluated in the dry cask vendor's FSAR and are independent of the SAFSTOR accidents that were evaluated in the LACBWR Decommissioning Plan.

Therefore, the proposed amendment does not invoilve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

4.2 Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

No. The proposed changes reflect the reduced operational risks as a result of the spent nuclear fuel being transferred to dry casks within an ISFSI. The proposed changes do not modify any physical systems, or components. The plant conditions for which the LACBWR Decommissioning Plan design basis accidents relating to spent fuel were evaluated are no longer applicable. The proposed changes do not affect any of the parameters or conditions that could contribute to the initiation of an accident. Design basis accidents associated with The dry cask storage of spent fuel are already considered in the dry cask system's Final Safety Analysis Report. No new accident scenarios are created as a result of deleting non-applicable operational and administrative requirements.

Therefore, the proposed amendment does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated.

4.3 Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

No. As described above, the proposed changes reflect the reduced operational risks as a result of the spent nuclear fuel being transferred to dry casks within an ISFSI. The design basis and accident assumptions within the LACBWR Decommissioning Plan and the Technical Specifications relating to spent fuel are no longer applicable. The proposed changes do not affect remaining plant operations, systems, or components supporting decommissioning activities. In addition, the proposed changes do not result in a change in initial conditions, system response time, or in any other parameter affecting the SAFSTOR accident analysis.

Therefore, the proposed amendment does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Based on the above, DPC concludes that the proposed amendment to the LACBWR License and TS presents no significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c), and, accordingly, a finding of "no significant hazards consideration" is justified..

LAC-14263 ATTACHMENT 2 5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT DETERMINATION This amendment request meets the criteria specified in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9) for categorical exclusion or otherwise not requiring environmental review. Specific criteria contained in this section of regulations are discussed below:

5.1 As demonstrated previously, this requested amendment does not involve any significant hazards considerations.

5.2 The requested amendment revises certain license conditions and removes operational and administrative requirements for systems that are no longer required to support the safe storage of spent nuclear fuel within the FESW. The proposed changes are administrative in nature and do not affect any systems such that there is no significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite.

5.3 The elimination of non-applicable operational and administrative requirements from TS will not result in a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.
