Nuclear Regulatory Commission Enclosure January 21, 2013 Page 2 of 5 1.0 CHANGE DESCRIPTION Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, Duke Energy is submitting a License Amendment Request (LAR) to Catawba Facility Operating Licenses NPF-35 and NPF-52 and to McGuire Facility Operating Licenses NPF-9 and NPF-17 and Technical Specification (TS) 3.6.14. The proposed LAR revises the Catawba and McGuire TS Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.6.14.4, Divider Barrier Seal Test Coupon Tensile Strength, to specify that the tensile strength is 39.7 Ibs, a change from the current 39.7 psi. This change is an administrative change to correct an error where the wrong units were used when Catawba and McGuire converted to Standard Technical Specifications (STS) in 1998 using NUREG-1431, Revision 1. STS 3.6.17 was used to create TS 3.6.14.
TSSR 3.6.14.4 currently specifies:
Remove two divider barrier seal test coupons and verify both test coupons' tensile strength is > 39.7 psi.
Proposed TSSR 3.6.14.4 will specify:
Remove two divider barrier seal test coupons and verify both test coupons' tensile strength is > 39.7 lbs.
2.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
The divider barrier consists of the operating deck and associated seals, personnel access doors, and equipment hatches that separate the upper and lower containment compartments.
Divider barrier integrity is necessary to minimize bypassing of the ice condenser by the hot steam and air mixture released into the lower compartment during a Design Basis Accident (DBA). This ensures that most of the gases pass through the ice bed, which condenses the steam and limits pressure and temperature during the accident transient. Limiting the pressure and temperature reduces the release of fission product radioactivity from containment to the environment in the event of a DBA.
Conducting periodic physical property tests on divider barrier seal test coupons provides assurance that the seal material has not degraded in the containment environment, including the effects of irradiation with the reactor at power. The required tests include a tensile strength test every 18 months during shutdown.
STS SR 3.6.17.4 requires the removal of two divider barrier seal test coupons and verifies that both test coupons' tensile strength is > [value] psi. The value in brackets is to be replaced with a site-specific value. Catawba's and McGuire's TS related to divider barrier seal test coupon tensile strength prior to conversion to STS specified a tensile strength of > 39.7 lbs for membrane type seals MK1 0 and MKI 1. During conversion to STS in late 1998, Catawba and McGuire changed the tensile strength value in STS SR 3.6.17.4 to 39.7 psi instead of lbs.
The Catawba and McGuire divider barrier seals are manufactured by The Presray Corporation. According to Presray's technical document for recommended rubber seal replacement schedule, the tests on the membrane type coupons shall be done in
U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Enclosure January 21, 2013 Page 3 of 5 accordance with ASTM D751, "Standard Test Methods for Coated Fabrics." According to this technical document, the minimum acceptable tensile strength for membrane seal type MK1 0 and MK1 1 is 39.7 lbs based on hoop stress. ASTM D751 breaking strength test, Procedure B (Cut Strip Test Method) specifies the standard size for the test coupons to be one inch wide strips therefore the allowable tensile strength is in units of lbs instead of psi.
To correct this error, Duke Energy proposes to change the tensile strength value in TSSR 3.6.14.4 to 39.7 lbs from the current 39.7 psi.
3.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
3.1 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria:
The divider barrier satisfies Criterion 3 of 10 CFR 50.36 in that it is a structure, system, or component that is part of the primary success path and which functions or-actuates to mitigate a design basis accident or transient that either assumes the failure of or presents a challenge to the integrity of a fission product barrier. A technical specification limiting condition for operation of a nuclear reactor must be established for the divider barrier.
3.2 Significant Hazards Consideration:
The proposed amendment corrects an error made during conversion to STS in late 1998. The tensile strength value for containment divider barrier seal specimen test stated in TSSR 3.6.14.4 is changed to 39.7 lbs from the current 39.7 psi.
Duke Energy has concluded that operation of Catawba Units 1 & 2 and McGuire Units 1 & 2, in accordance with the proposed change to the Technical Specification does not involve a significant hazards consideration. Duke Energy's conclusion is based on its evaluation, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.91 (a)(1), of the three standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c) as discussed below:
- 1. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
Response: No.
Divider barrier integrity is necessary to minimize bypassing of the ice condenser by the hot steam and air mixture released into the lower compartment during a Design Basis Accident (DBA). This ensures that most of the gases pass through the ice bed, which condenses the steam and limits pressure and temperature during the accident transient. Limiting the pressure and temperature reduces the release of fission product radioactivity from containment to the environment in the event of a DBA.
Conducting periodic physical property tests on divider barrier seal test coupons provides assurance that the seal material has not degraded in the containment environment, including the effects of irradiation with the reactor at power. The proposed change to Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 3.6.14.4 results in the correct tensile
U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Enclosure January 21, 2013 Page 4 of 5 strength units being listed in this surveillance requirement. This is considered an editorial change to the Technical Specifications.
Thus, based on the above, the proposed changes do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
- 2. Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?
Response: No.
The proposed change does not involve a change in the operational limits or the design capabilities of the containment or containment systems. The proposed change does not change the function or operation of plant equipment or introduce any new failure mechanisms. The technical evaluation that supports this License Amendment Request included a review of the containment divider barrier seal capability -to which this change is bounded. The proposed change does not introduce any new or different types of failure mechanisms; plant equipment will continue to respond as designed and analyzed.
- 3. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety?
Response: No.
Margin of safety is related to the confidence in the ability of the fission product barriers to perform their design functions during and following an accident situation. These barriers include the fuel cladding, the reactor coolant system, and the containment system. The performance of the fuel cladding, the reactor coolant system and the containment system will not be adversely impacted by the proposed change since the ability of the divider barrier to mitigate an analyzed accident has not been adversely impacted by the proposed change.
Thus, it is concluded that the proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety.
3.3
Conclusions:
The proposed change does not involve a change in the operational limits or the design capabilities of the divider barrier. The proposed change does not change the function or operation of plant equipment or introduce any new failure mechanisms. The integrity of the containment and containment systems does not change.
The proposed change to TSSR 3.6.14.4 will result in Catawba and McGuire having the correct tensile strength units for divider barrier seal coupon test. The proposed change does not have any adverse impact on the integrity of the divider barrier or divider barrier seals.
4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
The proposed change does not involve a significant hazards consideration, a significant change in the types of or significant increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite, or a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.
U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Enclosure January 21, 2013 Page 5 of 5 Therefore, the proposed change meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), an environmental assessment of the proposed change is not required.
5.0 PRECEDENT None.
