Agenda Meeting Objective Need for Amendment
Background
Supporting Analyses Proposed Technical Specification Changes Technical Evaluation Regulatory Evaluation Schedule Questions February 9, 2016 3
Meeting Objective Present information to NRC staff describing a proposed License Amendment Request (LAR) for the Perry Nuclear Power Plant (PNPP).
Answer questions from the NRC staff on the proposed LAR approach and obtain feedback from NRC staff on the proposed LAR content.
Identify the schedule associated with the LAR for its use in Perrys 16th refueling outage.

Need for Amendment The purpose of the proposed amendment is to allow certain outage-related activities to occur while in MODE 3.
- Installation of UCP reactor cavity to steam dryer storage pool gate (MODE 1, 2, and 3).
- Drain down of the reactor cavity pool (MODE 3).
Currently these activities are restricted to MODE 4 This Amendment will reduce critical path refueling time.

The Suppression Pool provides makeup water to the Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) in the event of a LOCA.
Design Basis for the Suppression Pool includes
- Maintaining 2 foot water coverage above horizontal vents
- Providing adequate NPSH for the ECCS pumps The Suppression Pool Makeup (SPMU) System provides makeup inventory to the Suppression Pool during a LOCA via gravity flow from the UCP.
The water level limits in the UCP and Suppression Pool are governed by PNPP Technical Specifications (TS).

Supporting Analyses Analyses have been performed to evaluate:
- UCP gate installation in MODES 1, 2, and 3.
- Drain down of the Reactor Cavity Pool in MODE 3 (with RPV pressure at 230 psig).
Impact of the UCP gate installation in MODES 1, 2, and 3.
- UCP water level needs to be maintained at the normal UCP water level (which is above the current TS minimum level).
- Suppression pool water level needs to be raised (within current TS operating band)
Impact of the Reactor Cavity Pool drain down in MODE 3 (with RPV pressure at 230 psig).
- Suppression Pool water level needs to be raised above the current TS HWL limit.
