~ Southern Nuclear Tel 205.992.5998 Fax 205.992.7601 September 20, 2016 Docket Nos.: 50-321 NL-16-1564 50-366 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATTN: Document Control Desk Washington, D. C. 20555-0001 Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2 Revised Technical Specifications Pages for Technical Specifications Revision Request to Implement TSTF-500, "DC Electrical Re-Write" Ladies and Gentlemen:
By letter dated August 11, 2015, Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) to revise the Technical Specifications (TS) to adopt TSTF-500, "Direct Current (DC) Electrical Re-Write", for the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant (HNP) Units 1 and 2.
SNC has answered several correspondences from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), including an electronic correspondence from the NRC sent on July 13, 2016. That correspondence was answered by SNC via letter dated August 12, 2016. Several TS changes to LCO sections 3.8.5 and 3.8.6 resulted from the August 12, 2016 letter.
However, SNC indicated it would provide the actual TS changed pages at some future date. This letter provides those pages.
Enclosures 1 and 2 provide the marked-up and clean typed TS pages, respectively.
Clean typed TS pages for LCOs 3.8.7 and 3.8.8 are also included due to changes in the page numbers for section 3.8; there are no substantive changes to LCOs 3.8. 7 or 3.8.8.
For your information, Enclosure 3 provides the marked-up TS Bases pages for LCO B 3.8.5; no Bases changes are needed for B 3.8.6.
These TS and TS Bases pages completely supersede those pages provided to the NRC in the August 11, 2015 letter.
This letter contains no new NRC commitments. If you have any questions contact Ken McElroy at 205.992.7369.
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission NL-16-1564 Page2 Mr. Justin T. Wheat states he is Licensing Manager of Southern Nuclear Operating Company, is authorized to execute this oath on behalf of Southern Nuclear Operating Company and, to the best of his knowledge and belief, the facts set forth in this letter are true.

DC Sources - Shutdown B 3.8.5 B 3.8 ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS B 3.8.5 DC Sources - Shutdown BASES BACKGROUND A description of the DC sources is provided in the Bases for LCO 3.8.4, "DC Sources- Operating."
APPLICABLE The initial conditions of Design Basis Accident and transient analyses SAFETY ANALYSES in the FSAR, Chapters 5 and 6 (Ref. 1), and Unit 2 FSAR Chapter 1 ~
(Ref. 2), assume that Engineered Safety Feature systems are OPERABLE. The DC electrical power system provides normal and emergency DC electrical power for the diesel generators (DGs),
emergency auxiliaries, and control and switching during all MODES of operation.
The OPERABILITY of the DC subsystems is consistent with the initial assumptions of the accident analyses and the requirements for the supported systems' OPERABILITY.
The OPERABILITY of the minimum DC electrical power sources during MODES 4 and 5 and during movement of irradiated fuel assemblies in the secondary containment ensures that:
- a. The facility can be maintained in the shutdown or refueling condition for extended periods;
- b. Sufficient instrumentation and control capability is available for monitoring and maintaining the unit status; and
- c. Adequate DC electrical power is provided to mitigate events postulated during shutdown, such as an inadvertent draindown of the vessel or a fuel handling accident.
The DC sources satisfy Criterion 3 of the NRC Policy Statement (Ref. 3).
LCO The necessary Unit 1 DC electrical power subsystems -- with:
- 1) each station service DC subsystem consisting of one 125/250 V station service battery (consisting of two 125 V batteries in seriesl , two battery chargers, and the corresponding control equipment and interconnecting cabling; and

(continued) are required to be OPERABLE to support required DC distribution subsystems required OPERABLE by LCO 3.8.8, "Distribution Systems - Shutdown." In addition, some components that may be required by Unit 1 require power from Unit 2 sources (e.g., Standby Gas Treatment (SGT} System and LPCI valve load centers).
Therefore, the Unit 2 DG DC and the swing DG DC electrical power subsystems needed to provide DC power to the required Unit 2 components are also required to be OPERABLE. This requirement ensures the availability of sufficient DC electrical power sources to operate the unit in a safe manner and to mitigate the consequences of postulated events during shutdown (e.g., fuel handling accidents and inadvertent reactor vessel draindown).
APPLICABILITY The DC electrical power sources required to be OPERABLE in MODES 4 and 5 and during movement of irradiated fuel assemblies in the secondary containment provide assurance that:
- a. Required features to provide adequate coolant inventory makeup are available for the irradiated fuel assemblies in the core in case of an inadvertent draindown of the reactor vessel;
- b. Required features needed to mitigate a fuel handling accident are available;
- c. Required features necessary to mitigate the effects of events that can lead to core damage during shutdown are available; and
- d. Instrumentation and control capability is available for monitoring and maintaining the unit in a cold shutdown condition or refueling condition.

This time orovides for returning the inoperable charger to OPERABLE status or oroviding an alternate means of restoring battery terminal voltage to greater than or equal to the minim um established float voltage. Restoring the battery terminal voltage to greater than or equal to the min imum established float voltage provides good assu rance that. within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. the battery w ill be restored to its fully charged condition (Required Action A.2/8 .2) from any discharae that mlg.bt.bave occu rred due to the charger inoperability.
A discharged battery having termi nal voltage of at least the minimum established float voltage indicates that the battery is on the exponential charoing current portion (the second part) of its recharge cycle. The time to return a battery to its fu lly charged state under this condition is sim ply a function of the amounLof the previous discharge and the recharge characteristi c of the battery. Thus there is good assurance of fully recha rging the battery with in 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. avoidinaa premature shutdown with its own atten nt ri k.

A fau lty charger that is incapable of maintaining established battery terminal float voltage does not orov ide assu rance that it can revert to and operate properly in the current limit mode that is necessary during the recovery period following a batte ry discharge event that the DC system is designed for.
If the charger is operating in the current limit mode after 2 hou rs that is an indication that the batterv is partially discharged and its capacity margins will be reduced . The time to return the batterv to its fu lly charged condition i!JJ.his case is a function of the battery charger capacity. the amount of loads on the associated DC system. the amou nt of the orevious discharge. and the recharg e characteri stic of the battery. The charge tim e can be extensive. and there is not adequate assurance that it can be recharged within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> (Required Action A .2/B.2l.
Required Action A.2/B.2 requires that the battery float current be verified as less than or equal to 20 amos for th e station service battery or 5 amps for the DG batterv.

If at the expiration of the initial12 hour pe riod the batterv float cu rrent is not less than or equal to 20 amps for the station service battery or 5 amps for the DG battery this indicates there may be additional battery problems and the batterv must be declared inoperable.

DC Sources - Shutdown B3.8.5 BASES ACTIONS ALTERATIONS, fuel movement, and operations with a potential for draining the reactor vessel. By allowance of the option to declare required features inoperable with associated DC power sources inoperable, appropriate restrictions are implemented in accordance with the affected system LCOs' ACTIONS. In many instances, this option may involve undesired administrative efforts. Therefore, the allowance for sufficiently conservative actions is made (i.e., to suspend CORE ALTERATIONS, movement of irradiated fuel assemblies in the secondary containment, and any activities that could result in inadvertent draining of the reactor vessel).
Suspension of these activities shall not preclude completion of actions to establish a safe conservative condition. These actions minimize the probability of the occurrence of postulated events. It is further required to immediately initiate action to restore the required DC electrical power subsystems and to continue this action until restoration is accomplished in order to provide the necessary DC electrical power to the plant safety systems.
The Completion Time of immediately is consistent with the required times for actions requiring prompt attention. The restoration of the required DC electrical power subsystems should be completed as quickly as possible in order to minimize the time during which the plant safety systems may be without sufficient power.
SURVEILLANCE SA 3.8.5.1 REQUIREMENTS SA 3.8.5.1 requires performance of all Surveillances required by SA 3.8.4.1 through SA 3.8.4.~. Therefore, see the corresponding Bases for LCO 3.8.4 for a discussion of each SR.
This SA is modified by a Note. The reason for the Note is to preclude requiring the OPERABLE DC sources from being discharged below their capability to provide the required power supply or otherwise rendered inoperable during the performance of SRs. It is the intent that these SRs must still be capable of being met, but actual performance is not required.

If the charger is operating in the current limit mode after 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> that is an indication that the battery is partially discharged and jts capacitv margins will be reduced . The time to return the batterv to its fully charged condition in this case is a function of tbe battery charger capacitv. the amount of loads on the associated PC system. the
.amount of the previous discharge. and the recharae c.tJ.a[acteristic of the battery. The charge time can be extensive. and there is not adequate assurance that it can be recharged within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> (Required Action A.2/8.2).
Required Action A.2/B.2 requires that the battery floa t current be verified as less than or equal to 20 amps for the station service battery or 5 amps for the DG battery. This indicates that. if the battery had been discharged as the result of the inoperable battery charger. it has now been fully recharaed . If at the expiration of the initial 12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> period the battery float current is not less than or equal to 20 amps for the station service battery or 5 amps for the DG batterv this indicates there may be additional batterv problems and the battery must be declared inoperable.

ALTERATIONS, fuel movement, and operations with a potential for draining the reactor vessel. By allowance of the option to declare required features inoperable with associated DC power sources inoperable, appropriate restrictions are implemented in accordance with the affected system LCOs' ACTIONS. In many instances, this option may involve undesired administrative efforts. Therefore, the allowance for sufficiently conservative actions is made (i.e., to suspend CORE ALTERATIONS, movement of irradiated fuel assemblies in the secondary containment, and any activities that could result in inadvertent draining of the reactor vessel).
Suspension of these activities shall not preclude completion of actions to establish a safe conservative condition. These actions minimize the probability of the occurrence of postulated events. It is further required to immediately initiate action to restore the required DC electrical power subsystems and to continue this action until restoration is accomplished in order to provide the necessary DC electrical power to the plant safety systems.
The Completion Time of immediately is consistent with the required times for actions requiring prompt attention. The restoration of the required DC electrical power subsystems should be completed as quickly as possible in order to minimize the time during which the plant safety systems may be without sufficient power.
SURVEILLANCE SR 3.8.5.1 REQUIREMENTS SR 3.8.5.1 requires performance of all Surveillances required by SR 3.8.4.1 through SR 3.8.4 J~~. Therefore, see the corresponding Bases for LCO 3.8.4 for a discussion of each SR.
This SR is modified by a Note. The reason for the Note is to preclude requiring the OPERABLE DC sources from being discharged below their capability to provide the required power supply or otherwise rendered inoperable during the performance of SRs. It is the intent that these SRs must still be capable of being met, but actual performance is not required.
SR 3.8.5.2 This Surveillance is provided to direct that the appropriate Surveillances for the required Unit 1 DC sources are governed by the (continued)
