BFN-UNIT 1 Renewed License No. DPR-33 Revised by letter dated August 16 1 2007 INSERT A 2.C.(6) Potential Adverse Flow Effects In conjunction with the license amendment to revise paragraph 2.C.(1) of Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-33, for Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant Unit 1, to reflect the new maximum licensed reactor core power level of 3952 megawatts thermal (MWt), the license is also amended to add the following license condition.

This license condition provides for monitoring and evaluating potential adverse flow effects as a result of extended power uprate (EPU) operation on plant structures, systems, and components (including verifying the continued structural integrity of the replacement steam dryer). a) The following requirements are placed on the initial operation of the facility, above the thermal power level of 3458 MWt, for the power ascension to 3952 MWt. These conditions are applicable until the first time full EPU conditions (3952 MWt) are achieved.

1. During power ascension greater than 3458 MWt, at test increments that do not exceed 5% of 3458 MWt, the main steam line strain gauges shall be monitored against established acceptance limits to assure steam dryer structural integrity is maintained.

If flow-induced resonances are identified and the strains or vibrations increase above the predetermined criteria, power ascension shall be stopped until analysis demonstrating acceptable results is performed.

2. During power ascension greater than 3458 MWt, hold points, in increments that do not exceed 5% of 3458 MWt, shall be established for NRC review of power ascension data. Power shall not be increased above each hold point until 96 hours0.00111 days <br />0.0267 hours <br />1.587302e-4 weeks <br />3.6528e-5 months <br /> after the NRC confirms receipt of the evaluations unless, prior to the expiration of the 96 hour0.00111 days <br />0.0267 hours <br />1.587302e-4 weeks <br />3.6528e-5 months <br /> period, the NRC communicates that the NRC staff has no objections to the continuation of power ascension.

b) After full EPU power has been achieved, replacement steam dryer data at the full power level shall be provided to the NRC within 96 hours0.00111 days <br />0.0267 hours <br />1.587302e-4 weeks <br />3.6528e-5 months <br />. c) Following power ascension to full EPU conditions, a vibration summary report for piping and valve vibration data collected at full EPU power level shall be provided to the NRC. Vibration data shall be collected for piping and valve locations deemed prone to vibration identified in Attachment 45 to the EPU License Amendment Request, including the identified locations associated with the main steam (MS) system, the feedwater system, the condensate system, the extraction steam system, the heater drain system, safety relief valves, main steam isolation valves, the inboard isolation valve for MS drain piping, the inboard isolation valve for the reactor core isolation cooling turbine steam supply line, and the inboard isolation valve for the high pressure coolant injection turbine steam supply line. The report shall also include an evaluation of the measured vibration data collected during power ascension compared against established acceptance limits. The report shall be submitted to the NRC staff in accordance with 10 CFR 50.4. The report shall be submitted within 90 days of reaching the full EPU power level. d) Following power ascension to full EPU conditions, a confirmatory analysis shall be performed for the replacement steam dryer. This analysis shall include a final load definition and stress re-analysis of the replacement steam dryer using the biases and uncertainties determined at EPU conditions and a comparison of predicted and measured pressures and strains on the replacement steam dryer. The report shall be submitted to the NRC staff in accordance with 10 CFR 50.4. The report shall be submitted within 90 days of reaching the full EPU power level. e) During the first two scheduled refueling outages after reaching EPU conditions, a visual inspection shall be performed of all accessible , susceptible locations of the replacement steam dryer in accordance with BWRVIP-139A and General Electric inspection guidelines.

The results of the visual inspections of the steam dryer shall be submitted to the NRC staff in a report in accordance with 10 CFR 50.4. The report shall be submitted within 90 days following startup from each of the first two respective refueling outages.

BFN-UNIT 2 Renewed License No. DPR-52 Revised by letter dated Augtlst 16 , 2007 INSERT B 2.G.(4) Potential Adverse Flow Effects In conjunction with the license amendment to revise paragraph 2.C.(1) of Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-52, for Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant Unit 2, to reflect the new maximum licensed reactor core power level of 3952 megawatts thermal (MWt), the license is also amended to add the following license condition.

This license condition provides for monitoring and evaluating potential adverse flow effects as a result of extended power uprate (EPU) operation on plant structures, systems, and components (including verifying the continued structural integrity of the replacement steam dryer). a) The following requirements are placed on the initial operation of the facility, above the thermal power level of 3458 MWt, for the power ascension to 3952 MWt. These conditions are applicable until the first time full EPU conditions (3952 MWt) are achieved.

1. During power ascension greater than 3458 MWt, at test increments that do not exceed 5% of 3458 MWt, the main steam line strain gauges shall be monitored against established acceptance limits to assure steam dryer structural integrity is maintained.

If flow-induced resonances are identified and the strains or vibrations increase above the predetermined criteria, power ascension shall be stopped until analysis demonstrating acceptable results is performed.

2. During power ascension greater than 3458 MWt, hold points, in increments that do not exceed 5% of 3458 MWt, shall be established for NRC review of power ascension data. Power shall not be increased above each hold point until 96 hours0.00111 days <br />0.0267 hours <br />1.587302e-4 weeks <br />3.6528e-5 months <br /> after the NRG confirms receipt of the evaluations unless, prior to the expiration of the 96 hour0.00111 days <br />0.0267 hours <br />1.587302e-4 weeks <br />3.6528e-5 months <br /> period, the NRG communicates that the NRC staff has no objections to the continuation of power ascension.

b) After full EPU power has been achieved, replacement steam dryer data at the full power level shall be provided to the NRG within 96 hours0.00111 days <br />0.0267 hours <br />1.587302e-4 weeks <br />3.6528e-5 months <br />. c) Following power ascension to full EPU conditions, a vibration summary report for piping and valve vibration data collected at full EPU power level shall be provided to the NRG. Vibration data shall be collected for piping and valve locations deemed prone to vibration identified in Attachment 45 to the EPU License Amendment Request, including the identified locations associated with the main steam (MS) system, the feedwater system, the condensate system, the extraction steam system, the heater drain system, safety relief valves, main steam isolation valves, the inboard isolation valve for MS drain piping, the inboard isolation valve for the reactor core isolation cooling turbine steam supply line, and the inboard isolation valve for the high pressure coolant injection turbine steam supply line. The report shall also include an evaluation of the measured vibration data collected during power ascension compared against established acceptance limits. The report shall be submitted to the NRG staff in accordance with 10 GFR 50.4. The report shall be submitted within 90 days of reaching the full EPU power level. d) Following power ascension to full EPU conditions, a confirmatory analysis shall be performed for the replacement steam dryer. This analysis shall include a final load definition and stress re-analysis of the replacement steam dryer using the biases and uncertainties determined at EPU conditions and a comparison of predicted and measured pressures and strains on the replacement steam dryer. The report shall be submitted to the NRC staff in accordance with 10 CFR 50.4. The report shall be submitted within 90 days of reaching the full EPU power level. e) During the first two scheduled refueling outages after reaching EPU conditions, a visual inspection shall be performed of all accessible, susceptible locations of the replacement steam dryer in accordance with BWRVIP-139A and General Electric inspection guidelines.

The results of the visual inspections of the steam dryer shall be submitted to the NRG staff in a report in accordance with 10 CFR 50.4. The report shall be submitted within 90 days following startup from each of the first two respective refueling outages.

BFN-UNIT 1 Renewed License No. DPR-33 Revised by letter dated August 16 1 2007 INSERT A 2.C.(6) Potential Adverse Flow Effects In conjunction with the license amendment to revise paragraph 2.C.(1) of Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-33, for Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant Unit 1, to reflect the new maximum licensed reactor core power level of 3952 megawatts thermal (MWt), the license is also amended to add the following license condition.

This license condition provides for monitoring and evaluating potential adverse flow effects as a result of extended power uprate (EPU) operation on plant structures, systems, and components (including verifying the continued structural integrity of the replacement steam dryer). a) The following requirements are placed on the initial operation of the facility, above the thermal power level of 3458 MWt, for the power ascension to 3952 MWt. These conditions are applicable until the first time full EPU conditions (3952 MWt) are achieved.

1. During power ascension greater than 3458 MWt, at test increments that do not exceed 5% of 3458 MWt, the main steam line strain gauges shall be monitored against established acceptance limits to assure steam dryer structural integrity is maintained.

If flow-induced resonances are identified and the strains or vibrations increase above the predetermined criteria, power ascension shall be stopped until analysis demonstrating acceptable results is performed.

2. During power ascension greater than 3458 MWt, hold points, in increments that do not exceed 5% of 3458 MWt, shall be established for NRC review of power ascension data. Power shall not be increased above each hold point until 96 hours0.00111 days <br />0.0267 hours <br />1.587302e-4 weeks <br />3.6528e-5 months <br /> after the NRC confirms receipt of the evaluations unless, prior to the expiration of the 96 hour0.00111 days <br />0.0267 hours <br />1.587302e-4 weeks <br />3.6528e-5 months <br /> period, the NRC communicates that the NRC staff has no objections to the continuation of power ascension.

b) After full EPU power has been achieved, replacement steam dryer data at the full power level shall be provided to the NRC within 96 hours0.00111 days <br />0.0267 hours <br />1.587302e-4 weeks <br />3.6528e-5 months <br />. c) Following power ascension to full EPU conditions, a vibration summary report for piping and valve vibration data collected at full EPU power level shall be provided to the NRC. Vibration data shall be collected for piping and valve locations deemed prone to vibration identified in Attachment 45 to the EPU License Amendment Request, including the identified locations associated with the main steam (MS) system, the feedwater system, the condensate system, the extraction steam system, the heater drain system, safety relief valves, main steam isolation valves, the inboard isolation valve for MS drain piping, the inboard isolation valve for the reactor core isolation cooling turbine steam supply line, and the inboard isolation valve for the high pressure coolant injection turbine steam supply line. The report shall also include an evaluation of the measured vibration data collected during power ascension compared against established acceptance limits. The report shall be submitted to the NRC staff in accordance with 10 CFR 50.4. The report shall be submitted within 90 days of reaching the full EPU power level. d) Following power ascension to full EPU conditions, a confirmatory analysis shall be performed for the replacement steam dryer. This analysis shall include a final load definition and stress re-analysis of the replacement steam dryer using the biases and uncertainties determined at EPU conditions and a comparison of predicted and measured pressures and strains on the replacement steam dryer. The report shall be submitted to the NRC staff in accordance with 10 CFR 50.4. The report shall be submitted within 90 days of reaching the full EPU power level. e) During the first two scheduled refueling outages after reaching EPU conditions, a visual inspection shall be performed of all accessible , susceptible locations of the replacement steam dryer in accordance with BWRVIP-139A and General Electric inspection guidelines.

The results of the visual inspections of the steam dryer shall be submitted to the NRC staff in a report in accordance with 10 CFR 50.4. The report shall be submitted within 90 days following startup from each of the first two respective refueling outages.

This license condition provides for monitoring and evaluating potential adverse flow effects as a result of extended power uprate (EPU) operation on plant structures, systems, and components (including verifying the continued structural integrity of the replacement steam dryer). a) The following requirements are placed on the initial operation of the facility, above the thermal power level of 3458 MWt, for the power ascension to 3952 MWt. These conditions are applicable until the first time full EPU conditions (3952 MWt) are achieved.

1. During power ascension greater than 3458 MWt, at test increments that do not exceed 5% of 3458 MWt, the main steam line strain gauges shall be monitored against established acceptance limits to assure steam dryer structural integrity is maintained.

If flow-induced resonances are identified and the strains or vibrations increase above the predetermined criteria, power ascension shall be stopped until analysis demonstrating acceptable results is performed.

2. During power ascension greater than 3458 MWt, hold points, in increments that do not exceed 5% of 3458 MWt, shall be established for NRC review of power ascension data. Power shall not be increased above each hold point until 96 hours0.00111 days <br />0.0267 hours <br />1.587302e-4 weeks <br />3.6528e-5 months <br /> after the NRG confirms receipt of the evaluations unless, prior to the expiration of the 96 hour0.00111 days <br />0.0267 hours <br />1.587302e-4 weeks <br />3.6528e-5 months <br /> period, the NRG communicates that the NRC staff has no objections to the continuation of power ascension.

b) After full EPU power has been achieved, replacement steam dryer data at the full power level shall be provided to the NRG within 96 hours0.00111 days <br />0.0267 hours <br />1.587302e-4 weeks <br />3.6528e-5 months <br />. c) Following power ascension to full EPU conditions, a vibration summary report for piping and valve vibration data collected at full EPU power level shall be provided to the NRG. Vibration data shall be collected for piping and valve locations deemed prone to vibration identified in Attachment 45 to the EPU License Amendment Request, including the identified locations associated with the main steam (MS) system, the feedwater system, the condensate system, the extraction steam system, the heater drain system, safety relief valves, main steam isolation valves, the inboard isolation valve for MS drain piping, the inboard isolation valve for the reactor core isolation cooling turbine steam supply line, and the inboard isolation valve for the high pressure coolant injection turbine steam supply line. The report shall also include an evaluation of the measured vibration data collected during power ascension compared against established acceptance limits. The report shall be submitted to the NRG staff in accordance with 10 GFR 50.4. The report shall be submitted within 90 days of reaching the full EPU power level. d) Following power ascension to full EPU conditions, a confirmatory analysis shall be performed for the replacement steam dryer. This analysis shall include a final load definition and stress re-analysis of the replacement steam dryer using the biases and uncertainties determined at EPU conditions and a comparison of predicted and measured pressures and strains on the replacement steam dryer. The report shall be submitted to the NRC staff in accordance with 10 CFR 50.4. The report shall be submitted within 90 days of reaching the full EPU power level. e) During the first two scheduled refueling outages after reaching EPU conditions, a visual inspection shall be performed of all accessible, susceptible locations of the replacement steam dryer in accordance with BWRVIP-139A and General Electric inspection guidelines.

The results of the visual inspections of the steam dryer shall be submitted to the NRG staff in a report in accordance with 10 CFR 50.4. The report shall be submitted within 90 days following startup from each of the first two respective refueling outages.
