Dear Sir:
Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, Duke Energy Florida, Inc. (DEF), formerly known as Florida Power Corporation (FPC), hereby provides License Amendment Request (LAR), #313, Revision 1, and the responses to the request for additional information (RAI).
The LAR proposes to revise portions of Section 5.0, Administrative Controls, of the Crystal River Unit 3 (CR-3) Improved Technical Specifications (ITS).
The changes made in Revision 1 are in response to issues raised in the RAIs (Reference 4). LAR #313, Revision 1, supersedes LAR #313, Revision 0, and replaces it in its entirety.
In Reference 2, the NRC acknowledged CR-3's certification of permanent cessation of power operation and permanent removal of fuel from the reactor vessel. Accordingly, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82(a)(2), the 10 CFR Part 50 license for CR-3 no longer authorizes operation of the reactor or emplacement or retention of fuel in the reactor vessel. The basis for this LAR is that certain Administrative Controls in the current CR-3 ITS may be revised or removed for permanently defueled conditions.
DEF requests approval of this LAR by October 31, 2013, with a 30 day implementation period.
The CR-3 Plant Nuclear Safety Committee has reviewed this request and recommended it for approval.

CRYSTAL RIVER UNIT 3 DOCKET NUMBER 50-302 / LICENSE NUMBER DPR-72 LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST #313, REVISION I ATTACHMENT A RESPONSES TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Attachment A 3F0913-02 Page 1 of 7 RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION By letter dated April 25, 2013, Duke Energy Florida, Inc., formerly known as Florida Power Corporation, requested that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) review and approve License Amendment Request (LAR) #313, Revision 0, "Revision to Improved Technical Specifications Administrative Controls for Permanently Defueled Conditions." On July 17, 2013, via an e-Mail, the NRC provided a request for additional information (RAI) to Crystal River Unit 3 (CR-3).
RAI TS-1 The proposed change to TS 5.1.1 changes the title of Plant General Manager to Plant Manager; however there is no proposed change that addresses stored nuclear fuel instead of nuclear safety. In addition, TS 5.1.1 states that the manager is responsible for overall unit operation, however pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 50.82(a)(2),
the operating license for CR-3 no longer authorizes operation of the reactor. Please provide a basis that addresses these differences.
Response to RAI TS-1 Revised proposed Technical Specification (TS) pages are provided in LAR #313, Revision 1, to respond to the RAI observation and to be consistent with the change request.
RAI TS-2 FPC stated that as of May 28, 2011, all the fuel from the reactor has been placed into storage in the spent fuel pools. The NRC staff does not agree with FPC's statement that there is a reduced demand to maintain the safety of the fuel stored in the fuel pools. Please explain why FPC believes there is a reduced demand to maintain the safety of the fuel stored in the fuel pools.
Response to RAI TS-2 The justification for the change to TS 5.2.2.a has been revised to better reflect the intent of the statement to focus on the human performance aspect of maintaining safety of the stored fuel.
The justification now states that there is "... reduced challenge to the operating crew to maintain the safety of fuel stored in the fuel pools." CR-3 last operated on September 26, 2009, and therefore, the most recently irradiated fuel in the pools has been cooling and their fission products have been decaying for almost four years. Conservative calculations demonstrate that currently, on a loss of cooling, the pools will take 107 hours0.00124 days <br />0.0297 hours <br />1.76918e-4 weeks <br />4.07135e-5 months <br /> to reach 212 0F, and more than 19 days to boil off inventory to a level of 10 feet above the top of the fuel racks. This provides the operating crew an abundance of time to recognize and mitigate the cause of pool temperature increases or pool inventory losses and therein lays the "reduced challenge to the operating crew." With the plant permanently shutdown and defueled there are significantly fewer transient or accident scenarios that require response from the operating crew. This is in contrast to the immediate responses required for the operating crew of a plant in power operation to a transient or accident.
U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Attachment A 3F0913-02 Page 2 of 7 RAI TS-3 By deleting current paragraph d of TS 5.2.2, CR-3 is allowed to perform fuel handling operations and movement of loads over storage racks containing fuel without a radiation protection staff being on site. FPC's basis for deleting this paragraph does not discuss fuel handling operations or movement of loads over storage racks containing fuel, nor does it discuss any accidents and/or events that might occur during these evolutions. The NRC staff does not agree that fuel movements or movement of loads over storage racks containing fuel should be allowed without on-site radiation protection staff support being available. Please provide a technical basis for not needing a radiation protection staff on site during fuel handling operations and movement of loads over storage racks containing fuel.
Response to RAI TS-3 LAR #313, Revision 1, provides a change to the original TS paragraph 5.2.2.d to require a person qualified in Radiation Protection procedures to be onsite during fuel handling operations and during movement of heavy loads over the fuel storage racks.
RAI TS-4 FPC is proposing to delete the reference to 10 CFR 50.54(m)(2)(i) in paragraph b of TS 5.2.2 below:
Shift crew composition may be less than the minimum requirement of 10 CFR 50.54(m)(2)(i) and 5.2.2.a for a period of time not to exceed 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> in order to accommodate unexpected absence of on-duty shift crew members provided immediate action is taken to restore the shift crew composition to within the minimum requirements.
Paragraph b of TS 5.2.2 allows during such absences of the shift crew composition that fuel movement and/or movement of loads over fuel are permitted and permits a shift crew position to be unmanned during shift change due to lateness or absence of the oncoming member. The NRC staff does not agree that fuel movements, movement of loads over fuel, and unmanned shift positions during shift turnover should be permitted while the shift crew is less than the minimum. Please provide a technical basis for allowing the fuel movements, movement of loads over fuel, and unmanned shift positions during shift turnover when the shift crew is less than the minimum.
Response to RAI TS-4 The 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> grace period to establish minimum shift staffing is existent in the current TS, and is consistent with NUREG-1430, "Standard Technical Specifications -
Babcock and Wilcox Plants." This allowance exists now and no change is being requested.
CR-3 will establish administrative controls to ensure that fuel handling activities and heavy load lifts above spent fuel stored in the spent fuel pool will not occur without a Certified Fuel Handler (CFH) providing oversight of the activity. This administrative control will be established on or before November 30, 2013.
RAI TS-5 On February 24, 2012, the NRC's Office of Enforcement released Enforcement Guidance Memorandum (EGM) 12-001 (ADAMS Accession No.
MLI 1258A243), "Dispositioning
U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Attachment A 3F0913-02 Page 3 of 7 Noncompliance with Administrative Controls Technical Specifications Programmatic Requirements that Extend Test Frequencies and Allow Performance of Missed Tests." The EGM explains that the restructuring of TS chapters during the development of improved standard TS (STSs) resulted in unintended consequences when Section 3.0, "Surveillance Requirement Applicability" provisions were made applicable to Section 5.0 TSs. Specifically, applying STS rules of usage would prohibit licensees from using the Surveillance Requirements (SRs) 3.0.2 and 3.0.3 allowances contained in Section 5.0 TSs. Applying the guidance in the memorandum will ensure SR 3.0.2 or SR 3.0.3, or both, are made available for TS programs and will properly apply 10 CFR 50.36 requirements for tests associated with inservice test activities under 10 CFR 50.55a(f).
During the staffs review of CR-3 TSs, it was noticed that TS 5.6.2.9.c and TS 5.6.2.9.d state that the provisions of SR 3.0.2 and SR 3.0.3 are applicable to inservice testing activities. This is not an accurate statement. SR 3.0.2 and SR 3.0.3 only apply to SRs listed in TSs. SR 3.0.2 and SR 3.0.3 does not apply to inservice test activities under 10 CFR 50.55a(f) that are not listed in TS.
CR-3 TS Section 1.0, "Use and Application," and Section 3.0, "Surveillance Requirement (SR) Applicability," explains how SR 3.0.2 and SR 3.0.3 are applied to SRs in TSs.
In addition, CR-3 TS 5.6.2.9.e states, "Nothing in the ASME OM Code [ASME Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants] shall be construed to supersede the requirements of any TS." This statement is contrary to 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(5)(i), which states that the inservice test program for a boiling or pressurized water-cooled nuclear power facility must be revised by the licensee, as necessary, to meet the requirements of paragraph (f)(4) of this section. In other words, if there is a conflict between the 10 CFR 50.55a regulation and TSs, then the regulation should be followed and the TS should be changed to comply with the regulation.
CR-3 TS 5.6.2.9 paragraph c, d, and e are in conflict with10 CFR 50.55a(f) and FPC has not proposed any changes to TS 5.6.2.9, "Inservice Testing Program," so that TS 5.6.2.9 will comply with 10 CFR 50.55a(f).
Please provide changes to TS 5.6.2.9 so that it no longer conflicts with 10 CFR 50.55a(f).
Response to RAI TS-5 LAR #313, Revision 1, is proposing to eliminate TS 5.6.2.9, "Inservice Testing Program." The basis for removal is provided within the LAR. This will eliminate the identified conflict.
RAI TS-6 FPC is proposing to delete TS 5.7.2.a. However, FPC has not proposed any changes to TS 3.3.17 Required Actions B.1 and F.1 in this application and TS 3.3.17 required actions B.1 and F.1 require taking action in accordance with TS 5.7.2.a.
Please remove the proposed change to TS 5.7.2.a, or provide changes that address TS 5.7.2.a in TS 3.3.17 required actions B.1 and F.1.
Response to RAI TS-6 LAR #313, Revision 1, removes the proposed change to TS 5.7.2.a.
This change will be included later in the proposed CR-3 Permanently Defueled TS and will eliminate the stated concern since ITS 3.3.17 will also be proposed for removal.
U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Attachment A 3F0913-02 Page 4 of 7 RAI Health Physics and Human Performance Branch (AHPB)-I Prior to their performance, who approves heavy load moves that could affect the safe handling and storage of nuclear fuel? Is this person a Certified Fuel Handler?
Response to RAI-AHPB-1 Per the Final Safety Analysis Report, Section 9.6.4, CR-3 is committed to the safe handling of heavy loads. All cranes and hoists lifting heavy loads over spent fuel comply with the guidelines of NUREG-0612, "Control of Heavy Loads at Nuclear Power Plants: Resolution of Generic Technical Activity A-36," and are consistent with CR-3's responses and commitments related to the handling of heavy loads.
Various plant procedures are in place for lifting and rigging processes, including training and qualification requirements and defined safe load paths.
Additionally, prior to any spent fuel cask movements, the crane used to lift the cask will be upgraded to single failure proof.
All work activities in the plant, including those that could impact the safe handling and storage of nuclear fuel are approved prior to implementation by the plant work controls center, currently staffed with a current or previously licensed operator. This practice will continue using Certified Fuel Handlers in lieu of licensed operators.
RAI AHPB-2 Can any control actions that could affect the safe handling and storage of nuclear fuel be taken from the control room?
Response to RAI-AHPB-2 The CR-3 control room maintains oversight and command/control for all activities performed in the plant. There are no activities that are performed in the control room, other than some electrical distribution system manipulations, that could directly affect the safe handling of nuclear fuel. However, there are activities that could be performed from the control room that have the potential to affect the safe cooling and storage of the nuclear fuel. These include spent fuel cooling, pool make up, and system alignment. All of these activities are procedurally controlled and performed by trained and qualified operators with oversight by a CFH on shift.
Additionally, in the event of a control action that affects spent fuel cooling, there is approximately 107 hours0.00124 days <br />0.0297 hours <br />1.76918e-4 weeks <br />4.07135e-5 months <br /> to boil and greater than 19 days to 10 feet above the fuel racks due to boil-off. This will provide sufficient time to mitigate any consequences from an adverse control action.
RAI AHPB-3 Will the control room remain the center of the command function? If not, where will the alternate command center be located?
Response to RAI-AHPB-3 At this time, the control room is the center of the command function and there are no plans to change this arrangement.
U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Attachment A 3F0913-02 Page 5 of 7 RAI AHPB-4 Will procedures, drawings and instructions continue to be controlled in accordance with 10 CFR, Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion VI, "Document Control," requirements?
Response to RAI-AHPB-4 CR-3 is currently in the process of determining the interim and potentially final configuration of the plant, prior to commencing major decommissioning activities.
It is expected, based on accident analysis results, that there will be very limited safety related Structures, Systems, and Components (SSCs). There will, however, be several augmented quality SSCs that will be maintained for spent fuel cooling and radiation monitoring equipment.
Specific procedures, drawings, and instructions will continue to be controlled commensurate with their safety significance.
Non-safety related SSCs remaining in operation will continue to be controlled with procedures, drawings, and instructions under a more relaxed quality program.
However, most SSCs will be processed to a dormancy state which will be considered abandoned, with energy and fluids removed to the extent practicable. The abandoned state will be established to preclude the SSC from regaining any energy by isolating, draining, removing power, etc., as necessary. Configuration control will remain in place until the SSC is in its final state. There is no guarantee that full configuration control will continue on abandoned SSC.
RAI AHPB-5 Describe how a fuel-handling accident with serious injuries would be identified and mitigated.
Focus on the alarms, displays, and other cues that would allow identification of the problem, how the chain of command would communicate, time constraints, and reporting responsibilities.
Response to RAI-AHPB-5 In the event of a fuel handling accident, CR-3 Abnormal Operating Procedure AP-1090, "Spent Fuel Damage," would be entered. This procedure directs the actions once the Control Room is informed of the event.
The primary notification would be through telephone or radio communication from the staff performing the fuel handling activities. The secondary method of notification would be via radiation monitors alarming in the control room.
Communication protocols in the procedure would require the control room operator to notify the CFH/Emergency Coordinator (EC) first, who then would notify the station duty manager and the station management team and activate the Emergency Plan as needed. The EC would be the individual determining the response of the plant to the event, including declaring the accident condition and determining when assessment activities would commence.
Initial reporting requirements would be determined by the EC, as appropriate, for the condition.
The plant has an established process for identifying and assisting injured personnel even during an accident scenario.
CR-3 performs an annual medical emergency drill to maintain proficiency related to handling a contaminated injured individual; from discovery of the injured individual to hospital activities associated with the potentially contaminated individual.
U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Attachment A 3F0913-02 Page 6 of 7 The fuel handling accident analysis assumes that all fuel rods in a fuel assembly are breached and the resultant radioactive cloud is released from the pool and is released via the Auxiliary Building ventilation.
With the age of the fuel, there is no consequential radioactive iodine released and the majority of the dose would be from Krypton-85. The offsite dose is a small fraction of the Environmental Protection Agency's Protective Action Guide limit and as such, there are no time constraints in staffing the Emergency Response Organization or mitigating the event.
Preliminary evaluation results demonstrate the dose rate on the refueling floor after a fuel handling accident to be a small fraction of the 10 CFR Part 20 allowable limits due to the age of the fuel and the nature of the accident. Should there be an injured individual near the pool during this accident, it would not result in a dose significant event for the injured individual or the responders.
RAI AHPB-6 Confirm that no one in the chain-of-command above the Shift Supervisor is required to be a Certified Fuel Handler or to attend equivalent training.
Response to RAI-AHPB-6 The CR-3 management structure will not require any positions above the Shift Supervisor to be a Certified Fuel Handler or attend equivalent training. CR-3 has determined that based on the permanently shutdown and defueled status of the plant, and the time available to mitigate credible events, operational activities/responses to events are less complex or immediate than the responses in an operating plant.
RAI AHPB-7 How many people in the organization will be Certified Fuel Handlers?
Response to RAI-AHPB-7 Each Operations shift will have one Certified Fuel handler who will also be the Shift Supervisor.
There are sufficient shifts to staff the plant 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> a day, seven days a week. There will be sufficient off-shift Operations Certified Fuel Handlers trained and qualified to step in as a Shift Supervisor or supplement the shift as necessary.
RAI AHPB-8 Clarify if any current Radiation Protection procedures will be impacted as a result of this amendment request.
Response to RAI-AHPB-8 There are no expected impacts to Radiation Protection procedures resulting from implementing this LAR.
U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Attachment A 3F0913-02 Page 7 of 7 RAI AHPB-9 Confirm that the Explosive Gas and Storage Tank will remain operable until all radioactive gas is eliminated from the site Response to RAI-AHPB-9 As of July 8, 2013, all CR-3 Waste Gas Decay Tanks have been vented and purged.
No consequential residual radiation or radioactive material remains in these tanks. Removal of the relief valves allowing the tanks to be vented to the atmosphere was completed on July 8, 2013.
This satisfies the commitment made in LAR #313, Revision 0, and as such, the commitment will not be repeated in this response. The Waste Gas System currently remains in service with low level monitored releases through the Auxiliary Building ventilation.

CRYSTAL RIVER UNIT 3 DOCKET NUMBER 50-302 / LICENSE NUMBER DPR-72 LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST #313, REVISION 1 ATTACHMENT B DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST, BACKGROUND, JUSTIFICATION FOR THE REQUEST, AND REGULATORY ANALYSIS
U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Attachment B 3F0913-02 Page 1 of 20 DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST, BACKGROUND, JUSTIFICATION FOR THE REQUEST, AND REGULATORY ANALYSIS 1.0 Description of Proposed License Amendment Request Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, Duke Energy Florida, Inc., formerly known as Florida Power Corporation, proposes to amend the Crystal River Unit 3 (CR-3) Improved Technical Specifications (ITS). This License Amendment Request (LAR) proposes to revise and remove certain requirements from the Section 5, Administrative Controls, portions of the ITS that are no longer applicable to CR-3 in the permanently defueled condition.
This revision proposes additional changes in response to a request for additional information from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
Therefore, LAR #313, Revision 1, supersedes LAR #313, Revision 0, and replaces it in its entirety.
2.0
Background
CR-3 has been shutdown since September 26, 2009, when the plant entered the Cycle 16 refueling outage. In the process of creating a construction opening for replacement of steam generators during that outage, a delamination of the outer concrete shell of the containment was discovered.
The construction opening and adjacent concrete shell of the containment was repaired during 2010 and 2011.
During tensioning of the containment prestressing tendons following the concrete repair, delaminations occurred in two other sections of the containment shell.
In consideration of performing a second repair of the containment shell, all fuel was removed from the reactor vessel and placed in storage in the Spent Fuel Pools as of May 28, 2011. On February 5, 2013, Progress Energy Florida, a subsidiary of Duke Energy, announced that CR-3 would be retired.
The NRC has acknowledged CR-3's certification of permanent cessation of power operation and permanent removal of fuel from the reactor vessel, and pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82(a)(2), the 10 CFR Part 50 license for CR-3 no longer authorizes operation of the reactor or emplacement or retention of fuel in the reactor vessel.
3.0 Justification For The Request The decay heat load in the spent fuel pools is low since freshly irradiated fuel was last added to the pools almost four years ago. Therefore, due to the low decay heat load, significant time is available to respond to loss of cooling or loss of inventory events.
The following generic conclusions from NUREG-1738 and NUREG-1275 demonstrate that CR-3 is in a low risk condition that supports the ITS changes proposed in this LAR.
Based on conservative calculation results presented in NUREG-1738, "Technical Study of Spent Fuel Accident Risk at Decommissioning Nuclear Power Plants," (Reference 1) the time to boil off Spent Fuel Pool inventory down to three feet above the top of the fuel would be approximately 14.5 days with no action taken to restore cooling or inventory.
Even this reduced inventory condition would not result in any significant effect to members of the public. In addition, this long decay time has resulted in essentially depleting the radioactive iodine nuclides from the pool inventory, removing the most significant contributor to offsite consequences.
- Spent fuel cooling is being provided by the systems normally used during plant operation and is as described in the CR-3 Final Safety Analysis Report. These systems are typical for a pressurized water reactor plant.
Therefore, the conclusions of NUREG-1275, Volume 12, "Operating Experience Feedback Report - Assessment of Spent Fuel Cooling," (Reference 2) are applicable to CR-3. The report concludes that based on 12 years of operating experience, the staff determined that loss of spent fuel pool coolant
U. S. Nuclear Regulatory 3F0913-02 Attachment B Page 2 of 20 inventory has occurred at a rate of about 1 event per 100 reactor years and that none of these events resulted in a water level less than 20 feet above the fuel. It also concludes that loss of cooling with a temperature increase of 20°F has occurred at a rate of approximately 3 events per 1000 reactor years.
A CR-3 specific calculation of spent fuel pool heatup was performed using conservative assumptions and inputs. CR-3 last operated on September 26, 2009, and therefore, the most recently irradiated fuel in the pools has been cooling and their fission products have been decaying for almost four years.
The calculations demonstrate that currently, on a loss of cooling, the pools will take 107 hours0.00124 days <br />0.0297 hours <br />1.76918e-4 weeks <br />4.07135e-5 months <br /> to reach 212'F, and more than 19 days to boil off inventory to a level of 10 feet above the top of the fuel racks. The level of 10 ft was chosen since NEI 12-02, Revision 1, "Industry Guidance for Compliance with NRC Order EA-12-051,"
established that 10 ft is the minimum that still provides substantial radiation shielding.
The changes proposed herein are consistent with the operating experience and changes made by other permanently defueled plants and the low risk conditions that exist at CR-3.
The following table identifies each section that is being changed, the proposed changes, and the basis for the changes:
CR-3 Specification Proposed Change and Basis 5.1 Responsibility 5.1.1 This section defines the responsible position for overall unit operation and for approval of each proposed test, experiment or modification to systems or equipment that affect stored nuclear fuel.
The position title is changed from Plant General Manager to Plant Manager; and the scope of the position is changed from overall unit operation to overall facility functions and from the effect on nuclear safety to the effect on stored nuclear fuel.
5.1.2 This section identifies the responsibilities for the control room command function associated with Modes of plant operation, and is based on personnel positions and qualifications for an operating plant. It identifies the need for a delegation of authority for command in an operating plant when the principal assignee leaves the control room.
This section is being changed to eliminate the MODE dependency for this function and personnel qualifications associated with an operating plant. The proposed change establishes the Shift Supervisor as having command of the shift. Delegation of command is unnecessary for CR-3 where all fuel is in the spent fuel pools, and no fuel has been in a critical core for over three and a half years. Any event involving loss of pool cooling would evolve slowly enough that no immediate control room response would be required to protect the health and safety of the public or station personnel.
5.2 Organization 5.2.1 Onsite and Offsite The introduction to this section identifies that organizational
U. S. Nuclear Regulatory 3F0913-02 Attachment B Page 3 of 20 Organizations positions are established that are responsible for the safety of the nuclear plant.
5.2. 1. a This is changed to require that positions be established that are responsible for the safe handling and storage of nuclear fuel. This change removes the implication that CR-3 can return to operation.
5.2.1.b This section identifies the organizational position responsible for overall nuclear plant safety, for the safe operation of the plant, and for control of activities necessary for the safe operation and maintenance of the plant.
To reflect the reduced safety concerns from an operating plant to a permanently defueled plant, the responsibility for overall nuclear safety is changed to the overall responsibility for safe handling and storage of nuclear fuel. The assignment of this responsibility is changed from the Vice President - Crystal River Nuclear Plant to the Decommissioning Director. The responsibility to control those onsite activities necessary for safe operation and maintenance of the plant is changed to control those onsite activities necessary for safe handling and storage of nuclear fuel and is changed from the Vice President - Crystal River Nuclear Plant to the Plant Manager.
5.2.1.c This paragraph addresses the requirement for organizational independence of the operations, health physics and quality assurance personnel from operating pressures.
This is changed to replace "operating staff" with "Certified Fuel Handlers" and to replace "their independence from operating pressures" to "their ability to perform their assigned functions."
These changes reflect the changed function of the previous operating staff to a focus on safe handling and storage of nuclear fuel, and to remove the implication that CR-3 can return to operation.
5.2.2 Unit Staff This paragraph addresses that one auxiliary nuclear operator must 5.2.2.a be assigned to the operating shift whenever fuel is in the reactor.
Since this can never occur again at CR-3, the minimum requirement is changed to a minimum crew compliment of one Shift Supervisor and one Non-certified Operator. This reflects the reduced challenge to the operating crew to maintain the safety of fuel stored in the fuel pools. The Certified Fuel Handler will be the Shift Supervisor in accordance with new paragraph 5.2.2.f. In this position, he will retain command and control responsibility for operational decisions and will be responsible for the functions required for event reporting and emergency response.
5.2.2.b This paragraph addresses the conditions under which the minimum shift compliment may be reduced. It contains a reference to 10 CFR 50.54(m) which establishes the minimum requirements for a licensed operating staff for facility operation.
U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Attachment B 3F0913-02 Page 4 of 20 This reference is removed since CR-3 will not return to operation in the future, and the requirement for licensed operating personnel will no longer be required to protect public health and safety.
5.2.2.c This paragraph establishes the requirement for one licensed Reactor Operator to be in the control room when fuel is in the reactor, and for one Senior Reactor Operator to be in the control room during operating Modes 1 - 4.
This paragraph is changed to reflect the requirement for having one qualified watch stander (either a Non-certified Operator or Certified Fuel Handler) in the control room when fuel is stored in the spent fuel pools.
This reflects the reduced requirement for control room personnel training and qualification for a plant authorized for nuclear fuel storage only. CR-3 has submitted a Certified Fuel Handler Training and Retraining Program for NRC approval. The training and qualification for the Non-certified Operator will be determined in accordance with the systems approach to training (SAT) as defined in 10 CFR 55.4. This process ensures that the Non-certified Operator will be qualified to perform the functions necessary to monitor and ensure safe fuel storage is maintained.
The SAT process requires (1) systematic analysis of the jobs to be performed, (2) learning objectives derived from the analysis which describe desired performance after training, (3) training design and implementation based on the learning objectives, (4) evaluation of trainee mastery of the objectives during training, and (5) evaluation and revision of the training based on the performance of trained personnel in the job setting.
For any conditions, incidents, or events that occur when the Non-certified Operator is in the control room alone and are not within the scope of qualifications that are possessed by the Non-certified Operator, the Certified Fuel Handler will immediately be contacted for direction by phone, radio, and/or plant page system. This philosophy is deemed acceptable because the necessity to render immediate actions to protect the health and safety of the public is not challenged. A conservative engineering calculation indicates that upon a total loss of spent fuel pool cooling the temperature in the spent fuel pool will take approximately 107 hours0.00124 days <br />0.0297 hours <br />1.76918e-4 weeks <br />4.07135e-5 months <br /> to reach 212 0F.
5.2.2.d This paragraph established the requirement for a person qualified in Radiation Protection procedures to be onsite when fuel is in the reactor.
This paragraph is revised to require a person qualified in Radiation Protection procedures to be onsite during fuel handling operations and during movement of heavy loads over the fuel storage racks.
5.2.2.e (New)
A new paragraph is added to establish the requirement for having oversight of fuel handling operations performed by a Certified Fuel
U. S. Nuclear Regulatory 3F0913-02 Attachment B Page 5 of 20 Handler.
5.2.2.f (New)
A new paragraph is added to establish that the Shift Supervisor must be a Certified Fuel Handler.
In the permanently defueled plant, the Certified Fuel Handler is the senior position on the operating crew. It is not necessary for the Shift Supervisor to hold a Senior Reactor Operator license if the plant cannot operate to generate power.
5.3 Unit Staff Qualifications 5.3.1 This paragraph establishes that the unit staff must meet or exceed the minimum qualifications of ANSI N18.1, 1971 and for the Radiation Protection Manager to meet the qualifications of NRC Regulatory Guide 1.8, September 1975. The paragraph also establishes the requirements for the Shift Technical Advisor.
This paragraph is changed to remove the requirements for the Shift Technical Advisor since that position is only required for a plant authorized for power operations.
5.3.2 (New)
This new paragraph is added to identify that responsibility for training and retraining of Certified Fuel Handlers is assigned to the Plant Manager.
Sections 5.4 and 5.5 are not currently used.
5.6 Procedures. Programs, and Manuals 5.6.1 Procedures 5.6.1.1 Scope This section states the requirement for procedures to be 5.6.1.1.a established, implemented and maintained covering various plant activities. Subparagraph (a) establishes a requirement to have applicable procedures recommended in NRC Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978.
This requirement is changed to reduce the scope to procedures applicable to the safe storage of nuclear fuel recommended in NRC Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978.
This recognizes the reduced requirements associated with protection of the stored nuclear fuel.
5.6.2 Programs and Manuals 5.6.2.1 Not Used 5.6.2.2 Not Used 5.6.2.3 Offsite Dose In 5.6.2.3.2, the authority for approval of changes to the ODCM is Calculation Manual changed from the Plant General Manager to the Plant Manager, (ODCM) consistent with the position title change in 5.1.1.
U. S. Nuclear Regulatory 3F0913-02 Attachment B Page 6 of 20 5.6.2.4 Primary Coolant This program was established to minimize leakage from portions of Sources Outside systems outside containment that could contain highly radioactive Containment fluids during a serious transient or accident.
The program is being eliminated since these conditions can no longer exist for a permanently defueled plant 5.6.2.5 Component Cyclic This program provided controls to track cyclic and transient or Transient Limit occurrences to ensure that components were maintained within their design limits.
The program is being eliminated since serious transient or accident conditions can no longer exist for a permanently defueled plant, and the monitored components are not required to assure spent fuel cooling.
5.6.2.6 Not Used 5.6.2.7 Not Used 5.6.2.8 Inservice This program established the controls for periodic inspection of Inspection Program ASME Code Class 1, 2, 3, MC and CC components including applicable supports in accordance with ASME Section XI.
The Preface to ASME Section Xl states:
"The rules of this section constitute requirements to maintain the nuclear power plant and to return the plant to service, following plant outages, in a safe and expeditious manner. The rules require a mandatory program of examinations, testing, and inspections to evidence adequate safety and to manage aging and deterioration effects."
This program is no longer required since CR-3 is permanently defueled and cannot operate. Therefore, the ASME Section Xl systems and components will not be subjected to the temperature and pressure effects that the Inservice Inspection Program was in place to protect against.
5.6.2.9 Inservice Testing This program established the controls for periodic testing of ASME Program Code Class 1, 2, and 3, components including applicable supports in accordance with the ASME Operations and Maintenance (OM)
Code.
ASME OM Code, ISTA-1100, 'Scope' states:
"These requirements apply to:
(a) pumps and valves that are required to perform a specific function in shutting down a reactor to the safe shutdown condition, in maintaining the safe shutdown condition, or in mitigating the consequences of an accident; (b) pressure relief devices that protect systems or portions of systems that perform one or more of these three functions; and (c) dynamic restraints (snubbers) used in systems that perform one or more of these three functions, or to ensure the integrity of the
U. S. Nuclear Regulatory 3F0913-02 Attachment B Page 7 of 20 reactor coolant pressure boundary."
This program is no longer required since CR-3 is permanently defueled and cannot operate. Therefore the functions described in (a) above are no longer required.
5.6.2.10 Steam The Steam Generator Program established and implemented Generator (OTSG) practices to ensure that OTSG tube integrity was maintained.
Program This program is no longer required since CR-3 is permanently defueled and cannot operate. Therefore, the steam generator tubes will not be subjected to the temperature and pressure effects that the Steam Generator Program was in place to protect against.
5.6.2.11 Secondary This program provided controls for monitoring secondary water Water Chemistry Program chemistry to inhibit steam generator tube degradation and low pressure turbine disc stress corrosion cracking.
This program is no longer required since CR-3 is permanently defueled and cannot operate. The majority of the Secondary systems are drained.
5.6.2.12 Ventilation Filter No Changes Testing Program (VFTP) 5.6.2.13 Explosive Gas This program provided controls for potentially explosive gas and Storage Tank mixtures contained in the Radioactive Waste Disposal (WD)
Radioactivity Monitoring System, and the quantity of radioactivity contained in gas storage Program tanks or fed into the offgas treatment system.
As of July 8, 2013, all CR-3 Waste Gas Decay Tanks have been vented and purged.
No consequential residual radiation or radioactive material remains in these tanks. Removal of the relief valves allowing the tanks to be vented to the atmosphere was completed on July 8, 2013. Based on these actions this program is being eliminated.
5.6.2.14 Diesel Fuel Oil No Changes Testing Program 5.6.2.15 Not Used 5.6.2.16 Safety Function No Changes Determination Program (SFDP) 5.6.2.17 Technical No Changes Specification (TS) Bases Control Program 5.6.2.18 Core Operating This program established that core operating limits be established Limits Report (COLR) prior to each reload cycle.

Nuclear Regulatory 3F0913-02 Attachment B Page 8 of 20 5.6.2.19 Reactor Coolant This program ensured that RCS pressure and temperature limits, System (RCS) Pressure including heatup and cooldown rates, criticality, and hydrostatic And Temperature Limits and leak test limits, be established and documented in the PTLR.
Report (PTLR)
Per NRC Regulatory Guide 1.184, this program is being eliminated. The reactor coolant piping has been drained and is not subject to pressurization. The reactor vessel contains water, but is vented and not subject to over pressurization.
5.6.2.20 Containment This program was established to implement the leakage rate Leakage Rate Testing testing of the containment as required by 10 CFR 50.54(o) and 10 Program CFR 50, Appendix J, Option B, as modified by approved exemptions.
Per NRC Regulatory Guide 1.184, this program is being eliminated.
5.6.2.21 Control Complex No Changes Habitability Envelope Integrity Program 5.7 Reporting Requirements 5.7.1 Routine Reports No Changes 5.7.2 Special Reports The Special Reports 5.7.2 b and 5.7.2.c are being eliminated.
These Special Reports are associated with programs that are being eliminated.
5.8 High Radiation Area 5.8.2 The first paragraph contains the requirements for control of keys to areas with radiation levels a 1000 mrem/hr at 30 cm. It identifies that one of the personnel responsible for control of the keys is the Control Room Supervisor. This is being changed to the Shift Supervisor consistent with 5.1.2.
4.0 Regulatory Analysis 4.1 No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination License Amendment Request (LAR) #313, Revision 1, seeks NRC approval to change certain requirements from the Section 5, Administrative Controls, portions of the Crystal River Unit 3 (CR-3) Improved Technical Specifications (ITS) that are no longer applicable as CR-3 is in a permanently defueled condition. Duke Energy Florida, Inc. (DEF) has evaluated whether or not the proposed changes would result in a significant hazards consideration by application of the three standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c). No significant hazards will exist if the proposed changes would not:
- 1. Involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; or
- 2. Create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated; or
- 3.
Involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
The following table provides the evaluation of each of the proposed changes that provides the basis for the determination that no significant hazards consideration is involved.

This is changed to require that positions be established that are responsible for the safe storage and handling of nuclear fuel. This change removes the implication that CR-3 can return to operation.
No. This change in the description of the functional responsibility of organizational positions places emphasis on the safe storage and handling of nuclear fuel. This focus on their principal responsibility cannot increase the probability or consequences of a fuel handling accident.
No. This change in the description of the functional responsibility of organizational positions cannot create a new or different kind of accident since they do not change the function of any plant structures, systems, or components.
No. This change does not directly involve any physical limits or parameters and therefore cannot affect any margin of safety.
5.1.2.b This section identifies the organizational position responsible for overall nuclear plant safety, for the safe operation of the plant, and for control of activities necessary for the safe operation and maintenance of the plant.
This section is being changed to recognize that the safety concerns for a permanently defueled plant are for the safe storage and handling of nuclear fuel. It changes responsibility for overall safety for storage and handling of nuclear fuel to the Decommissioning Director.
It changes responsibility for control over onsite activities necessary for safe handling and storaae of nuclear fuel to the Plant Manaaer.
No. This change in the description of the functional responsibility of organizational positions places emphasis on the safe handling and storage of nuclear fuel. This focus on their principal responsibility cannot increase the probability or consequences of a fuel handling accident.
No. This change in the description of the functional responsibility of organizational positions cannot create a new or different kind of accident since they do not change the function of any plant structures, systems, or components.

U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Attachment B 3F0913-02 Page 19 of 20 4.2 Environmental Impact Evaluation 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9) provides criteria for and identification of licensing and regulatory actions eligible for categorical exclusion from performing an environmental assessment. A proposed amendment to an operating license for a facility requires no environmental assessment if the amendment changes a requirement with respect to use of a facility component within the restricted area provided that (i) the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration, (ii) there is no significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite, and (iii) there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.
Duke Energy Florida, Inc. (DEF) has reviewed this LAR and has determined that it meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22, no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment needs to be prepared in connection with the issuance of the proposed license amendment. The following is the basis for this determination:
(i)
The proposed license amendment does not involve a significant hazards consideration, as described in the significant hazards evaluation.
(ii)
As discussed in the Justification for the Request and the No Significant Hazards Consideration, this change does not result in a significant change or significant increase in the release associated with any Design Basis Accident. There will be no significant change in the types or a significant increase in the amounts of any effluents released offsite during normal operation.
There will be no significant change in the types or increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite and does not involve irreversible environmental consequences beyond those already associated with the CR-3 Final Environmental Statement.
(iii)
The proposed LAR does not result in a significant increase to the individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure because this is a change to plant equipment that does not interface with radiologically contaminated systems and does not require operator or other actions that could increase occupational radiation exposure.
Therefore, the proposed LAR does not result in a significant increase to the individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.
4.3 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1) requires that when a licensee has determined to permanently cease operations the licensee shall, within 30 days, submit a written certification to the NRC, consistent with the requirements of § 50.4(b)(8), and once fuel has been permanently removed from the reactor vessel, the licensee shall submit a written certification to the NRC that meets the requirements of § 50.4(b)(9).
CR-3 submitted the required certifications by letter dated February 20, 2013. The NRC acknowledged receipt of the required certifications by letter dated March 13, 2013.
10 CFR 50.36 establishes the requirements for Technical Specifications.
50.36(c)(5),
Administrative Controls, identifies that an Administrative Controls section shall be included in the Technical Specifications and shall include provisions relating to organization and management, procedures, recordkeeping, review and audit, and reporting necessary to assure
U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Attachment B 3F0913-02 Page 20 of 20 operation of the facility in a safe manner. This LAR is proposing changes to the Administrative Controls section consistent with the decommissioning status of the plant. This LAR applies the principles identified in 50.36(c)(6), Decommissioning, for a facility which has submitted certification required by 50.82(a)(1) and proposes changes to the Administrative Controls appropriate for the CR-3 permanently defueled condition. As 50.36(c)(6) states, this type of change should be considered on a case-by-case basis.
10 CFR 50.54(m) establishes the requirements for having Reactor Operators and Senior Reactor Operators licensed in accordance with Part 55 based on plant conditions. Based on the permanent cessation of operation for CR-3, the requirements of this section no longer apply and it is permissible to remove those positions from the Technical Specifications.
10 CFR 50.55a establishes that each operating license for a boiling or pressurized water-cooled nuclear power facility is subject to the conditions in paragraphs (f) and (g) of this section.
50.55a(f)(1) and (g)(1) require that a plant whose construction permit was issued before January 1, 1971, must meet the requirements of paragraphs (f)(4) and (g)(4). The construction permit for CR-3 was issued September 25, 1968.
50.55a(f)(4) requires implementation of ASME OM Code, "Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants," throughout its service life.
Since CR-3 has permanently ceased operation, its service life has ended and the CR-3 Improved Technical Specifications (ITS)
Program for Inservice Testing can be eliminated from the ITS.
50.55a(g)(4) requires implementation of ASME Section Xl, "Rules for Inservice Inspection of Nuclear Power Plant Components," throughout its service life. Since CR-3 has permanently ceased operation, its service life has ended and the CR-3 ITS Program for Inservice Inspection can be eliminated from the ITS.

Upon entry into LCO 3.0.6, an evaluation shall be made to determine if loss of safety function exists.
Additionally, other appropriate limitations and remedial or compensatory actions may be identified to be taken as a result of the support system inoperability and corresponding exception to entering supported system Condition and Required Actions.
This program implements the requirements of LCO 3.0.6.
The SFDP shall contain the following:
- a.
Provisions for cross train checks to ensure a loss of the capability to perform the safety function assumed in the accident analysis does not go undetected;
- b.
Provisions for ensuring the plant is maintained in a safe condition if a loss of function condition exists;
- c.
Provisions to ensure that an inoperable supported system's Completion Time is not inappropriately extended as a result of multiple support system inoperabilities; and
- d.
Other appropriate limitations and remedial or compensatory actions.
A loss of safety function exists when, assuming no concurrent single failure, a safety function assumed in the accident analysis cannot be performed.
For the purpose of this program, a loss of safety function may exist when a support system is inoperable, and:
- a.
A required system redundant to the system(s) supported by the inoperable support system is also inoperable); or
- b.
A required system redundant to the system(s) in turn supported by the inoperable supported system is also inoperable; or
- c.
A required system redundant to the support system(s) for the supported systems (a) and (b) above is also inoperable.

Procedures, Programs and Manuals 5.6 5.6 Procedures, Programs and Manuals 5.6.2.21 Control Complex Habitability Envelope Integrity Program A Control Complex Habitability Envelope Integrity Program shall be established and implemented to ensure that CCHE habitability is maintained such that. with an OPERABLE Control Room Emergency Ventilation System (CREVS),
CCHE occupants can control the reactor safely under normal conditions and maintain it in a safe condition following a radiological event, hazardous chemical release, or a challenge from smoke.
The program shall ensure that adeauate radiation protection is
'rovided to permit access and occupancy of the CCHE under design basis accident (DBA) conditions without personnel receiving radiation exposures in excess of 5 rem total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) for the duration of the accident.
The orogram shall include the followina elements
- 1. The definition of the CCHE and the CCHE boundary.
- 2. Requirements for maintaining the CCHE boundary in its design condition including configuration control and preventive maintenance.
- 3. Reauirements for (i) determining the unfiltered air in-leakage past the CCHE boundary into the CCHE in accordance with the testing methods and at the Frequencies specified in Sections C.1 and C.2 of Reaulatorv Guide 1.197, "Demonstrating Control Room Envelooe Integrity at Nuclear Power Reactors," Revision
- 0. May 2003, and (ii) assessing CCHE habitability at the Frequencies specified in Sections C.1 and C.2 of Regulatory Guide 1.197, Revision 0.

This program ensures loss of safety function is detected and appropriate actions taken.
Upon entry into LCO 3.0.6, an evaluation shall be made to determine if loss of safety function exists.
Additionally, other appropriate limitations and remedial or compensatory actions may be identified to be taken as a result of the support system inoperability and corresponding exception to entering supported system Condition and Required Actions.
This program implements the requirements of LCO 3.0.6.
The SFDP shall contain the following:
- a.
Provisions for cross train checks to ensure a loss of the capability to perform the safety function assumed in the accident analysis does not go undetected;
- b.
Provisions for ensuring the plant is maintained in a safe condition if a loss of function condition exists;
- c.
Provisions to ensure that an inoperable supported system's Completion Time is not inappropriately extended as a result of multiple support system inoperabilities; and
- d.
Other appropriate limitations and remedial or compensatory actions.
A loss of safety function exists when, assuming no concurrent single failure, a safety function assumed in the accident analysis cannot be performed.
For the purpose of this program, a loss of safety function may exist when a support system is inoperable, and:
- a.
A required system redundant to the system(s) supported by the inoperable support system is also inoperable); or
- b.
A required system redundant to the system(s) in turn supported by the inoperable supported system is also inoperable; or

Procedures, Programs and Manuals 5.6 5.6 Procedures, Programs and Manuals 5.6.2.21 Control Complex Habitability Envelope Integrity Program A Control Complex Habitability Envelope Integrity Program shall be established and implemented to ensure that CCHE habitability is maintained such that, with an OPERABLE Control Room Emergency Ventilation System (CREVS),
CCHE occupants can control the reactor safely under normal conditions and maintain it in a safe condition following a radiological event, hazardous chemical release, or a challenge from smoke.
The program shall ensure that adequate radiation protection is provided to permit access and occupancy of the CCHE under design basis accident (DBA) conditions without personnel receiving radiation exposures in excess of 5 rem total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) for the duration of the accident.
The program shall include the following elements.
- 1. The definition of the CCHE and the CCHE boundary.
- 2. Requirements for maintaining the CCHE boundary in its design condition including configuration control and preventive maintenance.
- 3. Requirements for (i) determining the unfiltered air in-leakage past the CCHE boundary into the CCHE in accordance with the testing methods and at the Frequencies specified in Sections C.1 and C.2 of Regulatory Guide 1.197, "Demonstrating Control Room Envelope Integrity at Nuclear Power Reactors," Revision 0, May 2003, and (ii) assessing CCHE habitability at the Frequencies specified in Sections C.1 and C.2 of Regulatory Guide 1.197, Revision 0.
- 4. The Control Complex Habitability Envelope Integrity Program will be used to verify the integrity of the Control Complex boundary.
Conditions that are identified to be adverse shall be trended and used as part of the 24 month assessment of the CCHE boundary.
- 5. The quantitative limits on unfiltered air in-leakage into the CCHE.
These limits shall be stated in a manner to allow direct comparison to the unfiltered air in-leakage measured by the testing described in paragraph 3.
The unfiltered air in-leakage limit for radiological challenges is the in-leakage flow rate assumed in the licensing basis analyses of DBA consequences.
Unfiltered air in-leakage limits for hazardous chemicals and smoke must ensure that exposure of CCHE occupants to these hazards will be within the assumptions in the licensing basis.
- 6. The provisions of SR 3.0.2 are applicable to the Frequencies for assessing CCHE habitability, determining CCHE unfiltered in-leakage as required by paragraph 3.
