UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO. 213 TO RENEWED FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. NPF-30 UNION ELECTRIC COMPANY CALLAWAY PLANT, UNIT 1 DOCKET NO. 50-483

1.0 INTRODUCTION

By application dated March 12, 2015 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML15071A403), Union Electric Company (the licensee) requested changes to Renewed Facility Operating License No. NPF-30 for the Callaway Plant, Unit 1 (Callaway Plant). The licensee proposes to revise the Technical Specification (TS) requirements in order to address U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Generic Letter (GL) 2008-01, "Managing Gas Accumulation in Emergency Core Cooling, Decay Heat Removal, and Containment Spray Systems," dated January 11, 2008 (ADAMS Accession No. ML072910759), as*described in NRG-approved Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF)

Standard Technical Specifications (STS) Change Traveler TSTF-523-A, Revision 2, "Generic Letter- 2008-01, Managing Gas Accumulation" (ADAMS Accession No. ML13053A075).

The proposed changes would revise TS Surveillance Requirements (SRs) related to gas accumulation for the emergency core cooling system (ECCS). The proposed change would also add new SRs related to gas accumulation for the residual heat removal (RHR), shutdown cooling, and containment spray (CS) systems. The licensee also proposed TS Bases changes consistent with these SRs.

In its application, the licensee stated that it has reviewed the information contained in the NRC's model safety evaluation dated December 23, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13255A169), and that the license amendment request is not proposing any variations or deviations from the TS described in NRG-approved TSTF-523-A, Revision 2.

2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION

2.1 Background Gas accumulation in reactor systems can result in water hammer, pump cavitation, and pumping of non-condensable gas into the reactor vessel. These effects may result in the Enclosure 2

subject system being unable to perform its specified safety function. The NRC issued GL 2008-01 in January 2008 to address the issue of gas accumulation in ECCS, decay heat removal or RHR at Callaway Plant, and CS systems. The industry and NRC staff agreed that a change to the STS and plant-specific TS would be necessary to address some issues discussed in GL 2008-01. TSTF-523-A, Revision.2 contains changes to the TS SRs and TS Bases to address some of the concerns in GL 2008-01. The licensee proposed amending the Callaway Plant TSs using a plant-specific adoption of the TSTF-523-A, Revision 2 changes.

2.2 Technical Specification Changes The licensee proposed changes to SRs 3.5.2.2, 3.5.2.3, and 3.6.6.1, as well as the addition of new SRs 3.4.6.4, 3.4.7.4, 3.4.8.3, 3.6.6.9, 3.9.5.2, and 3.9.6.3 to TS 3.4.6, "RCS [Reactor Coolant System] Loops - MODE 4," TS 3.4.7, "RCS Loops - MODE 5, Loops Filled," TS 3.4.8, "RCS Loops - MODE 5, Loops Not Filled," TS 3.5.2, "ECCS - Operating," TS 3.6.6, "Containment Spray and Cooling Systems," TS 3.9.5, "Residual Heat Removal (RHR) and Coolant Circulation - High Water Level," and TS 3.9.6, "Residual Heat Removal (RHR) and Coolant Circulation - Low Water Level," respectively.

2.3 Regulatory Review The regulations in Appendix A, "General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants," of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50 or similar plant-specific principal design criteria provide design requirements. Appendix B, "Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants," to 10 CFR Part 50, the TSs, and the licensee quality assurance programs provide operating requirements. The regulatory requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, that are applicable to gas management in the subject systems include: General Design Criteria (GDC) 1, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39 and 40. GDC 1, "Quality.

standards and records," requires that the subject systems be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to quality standards. GDC 34, "Residual heat removal," requires an RHR system designed to maintain specified acceptable fuel design limits and to meet design conditions that are not exceeded if a single failure occurs and specified electrical power systems fail. GDC 35, "Emergency core cooling," GDC 36, "Inspection of emergency core cooling system," and GDC 37, "Testing of emergency core cooling system," require an ECCS design that meets performance, inspection, and testing requirements. Additionally, the regulations in 10 CFR 50.46, "Acceptance criteria for emergency core cooling systems for light-water nuclear power reactors," provide specified ECCS performance criteria. GDC 38, "Containment heat removal," GDC 39, "Inspection of containment heat removal system," and GDC 40, "Testing of a

containment heat removal system," require containment heat removal system design that meets performance, inspection, and testing requirements.

Quality assurance criteria provided in 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, that apply to gas

  • management in the subject systems include: Criteria Ill, V, XI, XVI, and XVII. Criterion Ill, "Design Control," and Criterion V, "Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings," require measures to ensure that applicable regulatory requirements and the design basis, as defined in 10 CFR 50.2, "Definitions," and as specified in the license application, are correctly translated into controlled specifications, drawings, procedures, and instructions. Criterion XI, "Test Control," requires a test program to ensure that the subject systems will perform satisfactorily in service and requires that test results shall be documented and evaluated to ensure that test

requirements have been satisfied. Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," requires measures to ensure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and nonconformances, are promptly identified and corrected, and that significant conditions adverse to quality are documented and reported to management. Criterion XVII, "Quality Assurance Records," requires maintenance of records of activities affecting quality.

The NRC's regulatory requirements related to the content of the TSs are contained in 10 CFR 50.36(c). The regulations at 10 CFR 50.36 require that the TSs include items in the following categories: (1) safety limits, limiting safety systems settings, and limiting control settings; (2) limiting conditions for operation (LCOs); (3) SRs; (4) design features; and

.(5) administrative controls. Surveillance requirements are requirements relating to test, calibration, or inspection to assure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the LCOs will be met.

Typically, TS Section 5 requires that licensees establish, implement, and maintain written procedures covering the applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A to NRC

  • Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.33, "Quality Assurance Program Requirements (Operation)."

Appendix A to RG 1.33 identifies instructions for filling and venting the ECCS and decay heat removal system, as well as for draining and refilling heat exchangers. The STS and most licensee TSs include SRs to verify that at least some of the subject systems piping is filled with

'water. Callaway Plant's TS 5.4.1 requires that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the applicable procedures recommended in RG 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978 (ADAMS Accession No. ML003739995). The NRC's guidance for the format and content of licensee TSs can be found in NUREG-1431, Revision 4, "Standard Technical Specifications - Westinghouse Plants," April 2012 (STS) (ADAMS Accession No. ML12100A222).

NUREG-0800, "Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants: LWR Edition," (SRP), is not the regulatory basis of the proposed TSs changes, and the licensee is not required to confirm that the SRP guidance is applicable to the Callaway Plant.

  • Regulatory guidance for the NRC staff's review of containment heat removal systems, ECCS, and RHR systems is provided in the following revisions and sections of the SRP during the review.
  • Revision 5 of SRP Section 6.2.2, "Containment Heat Removal Systems," dated March 2007 (ADAMS Accession No. ML070160661), provides the procedures concerning the review of containment heat removal under post-accident conditions to help ensure compliance with GDCs 38, 39, and 40.

the review of RHR system as it is used to cool the reactor coolant system (RCS) during and following shutdown to help ensure compliance with GDC 34.

3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION

3.1 Proposed TS Changes The proposed changes adopted the TS format and content, with the exception of changes due to plant-specific nomenclature, contained in the changes made by TSTF-523-A, Revision 2 to NUREG-1431, "Standard Technical Specifications Westinghouse Plants."

The NRC staff compared the proposed changes to the existing SR.s, as well as the regulatory requirements of 10 CFR 50.36(c). The licensee proposed the following TS changes:

1. Add SR 3.4.6.4, which states, "Verify required RHR loop locations susceptible to gas accumulation are sufficiently filled with water," with a note that states "Not required to be performed until 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> after entering MODE 4," and a frequency of "In accordance with the Surveillance Frequency Control Program."
2. Add SR 3.4.7.4, which states, "Verify required RHR loop locations susceptible to gas accumulation are sufficiently filled with water," with a frequency of "In accordance with the Surveillance Frequency Control Program."
3. Add SR 3.4.8.3, which states "Verify RHR loop locations susceptible to gas accumulation are sufficiently filled with water," with a frequency of "In accordance with the Surveillance Frequency Control Program."
4. Add a note to SR 3.5.2.2, which states, "Not required to be met for system vent flow paths opened under administrative control."
5. Revise the language for SR 3.5.2.3 from "Verify ECCS piping is full of water" to "Verify ECCS locations susceptible to gas accumulation are sufficiently filled with water."
6. Add a note to SR 3.6.6.1, which states, "Not required to be met for system vent flow paths opened under administrative control."
7. Add SR 3.6.6.9, which states, "Verify containment spray locations susceptible to gas accumulation are sufficiently filled with water," with a frequency of "In accordance with the Surveillance Frequency Control Program."
8. Add SR 3.9.5.2, which states, "Verify required RHR loop locations susceptible to gas accumulation are sufficiently filled with water," with a frequency of "In accordance with the Surveillance Frequency Control Program."
9. Add SR 3.9.6.3, which states, "Verify RHR loop locations susceptible to gas accumulation are sufficiently filled with water," with a frequency of "In accordance with the Surveillance Frequency Control Program."

Editorial changes to the TS table of contents were proposed to reflect page number changes due to the addition of new SRs.

3.2 NRC Staff Evaluation The new language for the SRs was developed using licensee responses to GL 2008-01 and the NRC discussion contained in Task Interface Agreement (TIA) 2008-03, "Emergency Core Cooling System Voiding Relative to Compliance with Surveillance Requirements (SR) 3.5.1.1, 3.5.2.3, and 3.5.3.1," dated October 21, 2008 (ADAMS Accession No. ML082560209). Many of the GL 2008-01 responses stated that licensees identified system locations susceptible to gas accumulation. In the TIA, the NRC stated that the intent of the TS SRs, which state "full of water," may be met if the licensee can establish, through an Operability Determination, that there is a reasonable expectation that the system in question will perform its specified safety function. Therefore the phrase, "sufficiently filled with water" was recommended for the proposed TS changes. In the TS, "sufficiently filled with water" is understood to mean "sufficiently filled with water to support Operability." The regulation at 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3) states that one of the purposes of the SR is to verify that the LCO is met. Therefore, the new SR language, "Verify the [system name] locations susceptible to gas accumulation are sufficiently filled with water," is acceptable, since this language will allow the licensee to make a conclusion as to whether or not a system is operable.

The language for the notes that state that the SR does not have to be performed until 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> after entering MODE 4 is acceptable because the note provides a limited time to perform the Surveillance after entering the Applicability of the LCO; however, under the STS usage rules (STS Section 1.4), the requirement to manage gas accumulation is not affected. Licensees must have confidence that the SR can be met or the LCO must be declared not met.

The language for the notes that allow the SRs to not be met for system vent flow paths opened under administrative control is necessary to allow the licensee to credit administratively controlled manual action to close the system vent flow path in order to maintain system.

Operability during system venting and performance of the proposed gas accumulation SR.

Therefore, these notes are acceptable.

The NRC staff concludes that the proposed SRs meet the regulatory requirements of 10 CFR 50.36 because they provide assurance that the necessary quality of systems and components will be maintained and that the LCO will be met. Based on the above, the NRC staff concludes that the proposed amendment is acceptable.

4.0 STATE CONSULTATION

In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Missouri State official, Mr. R. Stout, was notified on September 15, 2015, of the proposed issuance of the amendment. The State official had no comments.

/

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

The amendment changes a requirement with respect to the installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20. The NRC staff has determined that the amendment involves no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant change in the types, of any effluents that may be released offsite, and that there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration and there has been no public comment on such finding published in Federal Register on June 9, 2015 (80 FR 32630). Accordingly, the amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b ), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendment.

6.0 CONCLUSION

The Commission has concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that: (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) there is reasonable assurance that such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's 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.
