SUMMARY

DESCRIPTION The Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) hereby requests an amendment to Fort Calhoun Station (FCS), Unit No. 1 Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-40 to implement administrative changes to update personnel and committee titles, delete outdated or completed additional actions contained in Appendix B of the License, and relocate the definition of Process Control Program.

2.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION In August 2012, OPPD and Exelon entered into a 20-year Operating Services Agreement by which Exelon manages day-to-day operations. The Fort Calhoun Station Unit No.1 is implementing procedures and processes from Exelon as part of this agreement and as a result is requesting certain Technical Specifications (TS) be revised to use consistent terminology.

The title for the Plant Review Committee is being revised to Plant Operations Review Committee. This proposed change revises the TS definition of Physics testing, footnotes in TS Table 2-3 footnotes and TS 5.17. This proposed change also revises the Bases to TS 2.13 which is included for information.

The Control Room Supervisor title is being revised to Unit Supervisor. This proposed change revises TS 5.2.2.e.

The term Restricted High Radiation Area is being revised to Locked High Radiation Area. This proposed change revises TS 5.11.2. In addition, allowance for a designee for the Manager Radiation Protection is being added to clarify that a designated alternate to the Manager Radiation Protection may control keys to locked high radiation areas. Allowing a designated alternate to the Manager-Radiation Protection is consistent with the Improved Standard TS (NUREG-1432).

Relocation of the Process Control Program. The Process Control Program was added to the TS by Amendment 152 (Reference 6.4). The FCS definition is not verbatim to that used in fleet procedures. It is proposed to re-locate the definition and program requirements to the USAR/plant procedures as the program is adequately controlled by regulation and its re-location is consistent with it being relocated to plant procedures as part of the development of the Improved Standard Technical Specifications (NUREG-1432 for Combustion Engineering plants).

This proposed change deletes the definition and TS 5.18.

The following are additional administrative changes.

Deletion of Additional Condition (1) contained in Appendix B for Amendment 181.

(1) The licensee is authorized to relocate certain technical specification requirements to licensee-controlled documents. Implementation of this amendment shall include the relocation of these technical specification requirements to the appropriate documents, as described in the licensee's application dated November 20, 1996, as supplemented by letters dated February 20, 1997, and March 25, 1997, and evaluated in the staff's safety evaluation dated March 27, 1997.

LIC-15-0053 Enclosure Page 3 TS Amendment 181 (Reference 6.1) relocated controls for plant staff working hours to Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR) Section 12.1.5. This USAR section continues to describe controls on work hour limitations; however with the issuance of 10 CFR Part 26 Subpart I and TS Amendment 262 (Reference 6.2) it is no longer necessary to contain this additional condition in the TS to ensure that the limitations will be followed as the controls are implemented through regulation; therefore it is proposed that this condition be deleted.

Deletion of Additional Condition (2) contained in Appendix B for Amendment 257.

(2) Upon implementation of Amendment No. 257 adopting TSTF-448, Revision 3, the determination of control room envelope (CRE) unfiltered air inleakage as required by TS 3.1, Table 3-3, Item 10.b. in accordance with TS 5.24c.(i), the assessment of CRE habitability as required by Specification 5.24c.(ii), and the measurement of CRE pressure as required by Specification 5.24d, shall be considered met. Following implementation:

(a) The first performance of TS 3.1, Table 3-3, Item 10.b., in accordance with Specification 5.24c.(i), shall be within the next 18 months as the time period since the most recent successful tracer gas test is greater than 6 years.

(b) The first performance of the periodic assessment of CRE habitability, Specification 5.24c(ii), shall be within the next 9 months as the time period since the most recent successful tracer gas test is greater than 3 years.

(c) The first performance of the periodic measurement of CRE pressure, Specification 5.24d., shall be within the next 138 days.

TS Amendment 257 was issued June 30, 2008 (Reference 6.3) with an implementation date of within 270 days of its issuance. This additional condition specified when first performances of specific items were required to be complete. The requirement of Condition (2)(a) for the first performance of TS 3.1 Table 3-3, Item 10.b, tracer gas testing was performed in January 2010.

The requirement of Condition (2)(b) for the first performance of the periodic assessment of CRE habitability was performed in January 2010. The requirement of Condition (2)(c) for the first performance of periodic measurement of CRE pressure in accordance with TS 5.24 d was performed in June 2009.

As the first performances of these tests have been completed, the additional condition contained in Appendix B is no longer necessary; therefore it is proposed that this condition be deleted.

3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION

The proposed changes are administrative in nature and have no technical implications with respect to the station organization, responsibilities or unit staffing requirements. Deletion of the additional conditions contained in Appendix B of the TS and the relocation of the Process Control Program only delete one-time first performance of activities that have been completed, and requirements that are redundant to regulation.

LIC-15-0053 Enclosure Page 4 REGULATORY EVALUATION 4.1 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria 4.1.1 Title 10 CFR Part 26 for controlling plant staff working hours 4.1.2 Title 10 CFR 50.36 for information to be included in Technical Specifications 4.2 Precedent 4.2.1 Precedent for the relocation of the Process Control Program -

Amendment 146 to Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant, Unit No. 1, Farley Nuclear Plant ITS Conversion, issued November 30, 1999 designated the relocation as an administrative requirement redundant to regulations.

4.3 No Significant Hazards Consideration The Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) has evaluated whether or not a significant hazards consideration is involved with the proposed amendment(s) by focusing on the three standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92, Issuance of amendment, as discussed below:

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

Response: No.

The proposed changes are administrative in nature, involving changes to personnel and committee titles, deletion and or re-location of requirements redundant to regulations, and deletion of conditions controlling the first performance of testing that has since been completed. The proposed changes do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated because: 1) the proposed amendment does not represent a change to the system design, 2) the proposed amendment does not alter, degrade, or prevent action described or assumed in any accident in the USAR from being performed, 3) the proposed amendment does not alter any assumptions previously made in evaluating radiological consequences, and 5) the proposed amendment does not affect the integrity of any fission product barrier.

No other safety related equipment is affected by the proposed change.

Therefore, the proposed changes do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

LIC-15-0053 Enclosure Page 5

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 changes do not alter the physical design, safety limits, or safety analysis assumptions associated with the operation of the plant. Hence, the proposed changes do not introduce any new accident initiators, nor do these changes reduce or adversely affect the capabilities of any plant structure or system in the performance of their safety function.

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

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

Response: No.

The proposed changes do not alter the manner in which safety limits or limiting safety system settings are determined. The safety analysis acceptance criteria are not affected by these proposed changes. Further, the proposed changes do not change the design function of any equipment assumed to operate in the event of an accident.

Therefore, the proposed changes do not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Based on the above, OPPD concludes that the proposed amendment 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.

4.4 Conclusion In conclusion, based on the considerations discussed above, (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commissions regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

A review of the proposed amendment has determined that the proposed amendment would change a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area, as defined in 10 CFR 20, or would change an inspection or surveillance requirement. However, the proposed amendment does not involve (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) a significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any

LIC-15-0053 Enclosure Page 6 effluent that may be released offsite, or (iii) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.

Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22 (c)(9). Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.

(9) Steam Generator Differential Pressure - The Asymmetric Steam Generator Transient Protection Trip Function (ASGTPTF) utilizes a trip on steam generator differential pressure to ensure that neither a DNBR of less than the minimum DNBR limit nor a fuel centerline temperature greater than the safety limit corresponding to FCM, as determined each fuel cycle and contained in the COLR, occurs as a result of the loss of load to one steam generator.

(10)Physics Testing at Low Power - During physics testing at power levels less than 10-1% of rated power, the tests may require that the reactor be critical. For these tests only the low reactor coolant flow and thermal margin/low pressure trips may be bypassed below 10-1% of rated power.

Written test procedures which are approved by the Plant Operations Review Committee will be in effect during these tests. At reactor power levels less than 10-1% of rated power the low reactor coolant flow and the thermal margin/low pressure trips are not required to prevent fuel element thermal limits being exceeded. Both of these trips are bypassed using the same bypass switch.

The low steam generator pressure trip is not required because the low steam generator pressure will not allow a severe reactor cooldown if a steam line break were to occur during the tests.
