The proposed change will revise TS 6.2.2.2.d to:
"The Shift Manager or Control Room Supervisor shall be in the control room at all times other than cold shutdown conditions (Tave< 200°F) when he shall be onsite."
Evaluation of Proposed Attachment 1 Technical Specification Changes Page 3 of 8
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
Update TS 5.4.2. Spent Fuel Pool Storage The first proposed change involves updating the Spent Fuel Pool A fuel assembly and full core storage capacities to current designed capability. A plant modification (Reference 2) added the final 432 additional fuel storage locations to the Spent Fuel Pool A. This was the final phase (Phase 3) of the Spent Fuel Pool Rerack Project that began circa 1992. However, no follow-up action was created to update the final installed capacity in the TS. This proposed revision to the TS is considered to be administrative in nature and updates the TS to current approved design for the plant. The original Spent Fuel Rerack Project was NRC approved in TMI TS Amendment No. 164, dated April 27, 1992 (Reference 3) and was to be completed in three phases. In TS Amendment No. 164, NRC had documented in the safety analysis their review and analysis for the full 1494 fuel assembly locations, when eventually installed. The additional storage locations could be installed at a later date to provide a total of 1494 locations, or 8.44 cores. The third phase of the rerack project, which installed the remaining 432 storage locations, was completed circa 2009.
TS 6.1.2. CNO Annual Management Directive Requirement Section 50.36, "Technical Specifications," {TS} of 10 CFR Part 50, "Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities," requires that each applicant for a license authorizing operation of a nuclear power plant include in its application proposed TS. These TS, as issued by the NRC, are incorporated into the facility operating license as Appendix A. Specifically, Section 10 CFR 50.36(c)(5) requires that the Administrative Controls Section of TS include the provisions relating to organization and management, procedures, record keeping, review and audit, and reporting necessary to ensure safe operation of the facility. This license amendment request (LAA) will eliminate the TS 6.1.2 annual requirement for the CNO to issue a signed management directive to all station personnel describing the expectations for the command responsibilities of the Operations Shift Management, specifically, the responsibility for the control room command function.
The current TS 6.1.2 is a legacy requirement for TMI originating from TS Amendment No.77 (Reference 4), dated April 28, 1982 ( ... management directive to this effect signed by the President- GPUNC ... ), which was in partial response to the need for a complete rewrite of the TS administrative section to address the many committees and NUREGs required for the restart of Unit 1 after the accident at TMl-2.
TMI is part of the Exelon fleet in which most nuclear sites have adopted the Improved Standard Technical Specifications. For example, NUREG-1430 (Reference 1) Section 5.1 Responsibility standards (STS 5.1.2), states:
The [Shift Supervisor (SS)] shall be responsible for the control room command function. During any absence of the [SS] from the control room while the unit is in MODE 1, 2, 3, or 4, an individual with an active Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) license shall be designated to assume the control room command function. During any absence of the [SS] from the control room while the unit is in MODE 5 or 6, an individual with an active SRO license or Reactor Operator license shall be designated to assume the control room command function."
TMI desires to standardize with other sites in the fleet and reduce the unnecessary administrative burden placed on the CNO to annually issue a management directive to all station personnel regarding the control room command function. TMI is the only site in the
Evaluation of Proposed Attachment 1 Technical Specification Changes Page 4 of 8 Exelon fleet that has this requirement. Currently, there are no existing operating conditions unique to TMI that would warrant this level of directive. In regards to operational conduct in Exelon control rooms, all sites follow Exelon operations fleet wide procedure, OP-AA-101-111, "Roles and Responsibilities of On-Shift Personnel," (Reference 5). OP-AA-101-111 adequately describes control room personnel roles and command function responsibilities during normal, abnormal operating transients and accident conditions. OP-AA-101-111 complies with and enforces STS 5.1.2 requirements.
The removal of the CNO annual requirement to issue a management directive to all station personnel regarding the control room command function and replace it with the STS 5.1.2 requirements does not reduce the expectations/training/conduct of existing control room operation, as these expectations are embedded in existing operational and training procedures.
TMI has retained original custom TS format and does not specifically use the "MODE" terminology. Therefore, the improved STS wording has been modified to specifically call out the reactor condition (e.g., Power Operations in lieu of Mode 1) instead of a numerical format (i.e.,
MODES 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6).
Delete TS 6.2.2.2.d Footnote Reference to non-SRO Licensed Control Room Supervisors The third proposed change involves the deletion of a reference to a footnote in TS 6.2.2.2.d regarding Control Room Supervisors who are not SRO licensed. TS 6.2.2.2.d requires that a Shift Manager or a Control Room Supervisor shall be in the control room at all times other than cold shutdown condition when he shall be onsite. The footnote reference for Control Room Supervisor allows for the Control Room Supervisor to be non-SRO licensed, provided that he shall have completed the SRO Training Program. TS 6.2.2.2.d was approved in TMI TS Amendment No. 77, dated April 28, 1982 (Reference 4) and reflected the reality that several existing Control Room Supervisors (formally titled Shift Foreman) were allowed to perform the control room supervisory role if not SRO licensed, but had completed the SRO Training Program. The Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) Section 12.1.2.1.1, Operations Department, dated April 2000, was updated as part of the implementation for NRC approved TMI TS Amendment No. 219, dated January 7, 2000 (Reference 6), and stated that:
"Control Room Supervisors must either be SRO licensed, or hold a Reactor Operator (RO) license and have made significant progress towards completion of training for an SRO license."
Subsequently, in the April 2008, Rev 19 update of the UFSAR, the wording was revised per Engineering Change Request (ECR) 07-00486 (Reference 7) to the following words in accordance with the current operating philosophy at that time:
"Control Room Supervisors must be SRO licensed."
The change in the qualification requirements of the Control Room Supervisors from "must either be SRO licensed or RO licensed" to "must be SRO licensed" was more restrictive as an SRO license requires more training than an RO license.

4.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
4.1 APPLICABLE REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS/CRITERIA The proposed changes have been evaluated to determine whether applicable regulations and requirements continue to be met. Exelon has determined that the proposed changes do not require any exemptions or relief from regulatory requirements. Note that TMI was designed and constructed taking into consideration the general design criteria for nuclear power plant construction permits as listed in the proposed AEC General Design Criteria, dated July 1967.
The following current applicable regulations and regulatory requirements were reviewed in making this determination:
10 CFR 50.36, "Technical specifications" Section 182a of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), requires applicants for nuclear power plant operating licenses to state TS to be included as part of the license. The Commission's regulatory requirements related to the content of TS are set forth in 10 CFR 50.36, "Technical specifications." The regulation requires that TS include items in five specific categories, including: (1) safety limits, limiting safety system settings, and limiting control settings; (2) limiting conditions for operation (LCOs);
(3) surveillance requirements; (4) design features; and (5) administrative controls.
Section 50.36(c)(5), "Administrative controls," are the provisions relating to organization and management, procedures, recordkeeping, review and audit, and reporting necessary to ensure safe operation of the facility. The specific content of the administrative controls section of the TS is, therefore, related to those programs and reports that the Commission deems essential for the safe operation of the facility, which are not adequately covered by regulations or other regulatory requirements.
Accordingly, the NRG staff may determine that specific requirements, such as those associated with this change, may be revised or deleted from the administrative controls in the TS if they are not explicitly required by 10 CFR 50.36(c)(5) and are not otherwise necessary to obviate the possibility of an abnormal situation or event giving rise to an immediate threat to the public health and safety.
The annual requirement for a CNO management directive on expectations for the control room command function is not deemed essential for the safe operation of the facility as the control room command and control function is adequately described in plant procedures and the proposed replacement STS 5.1.2 requirements.
The proposed final storage capacity requirements for Spent Fuel Pool A maintain compliance to 10 CFR 50.36(c)(4), Design features, by updating the TS to the current geometric arrangements within Spent Fuel Pool A.
10 CFR 50.120. "Training and qualification of nuclear power plant personnel" (b)(2)(ii) specifies that a training program employing a systems approach to training for shift supervisors (control room supervisors).
Evaluation of Proposed Attachment 1 Technical Specification Changes Page 6 of 8 10 CFR 55, "Operators Licenses" Control Room Supervisors are within scope of Part 55.2(b), Scope, which states that any individual designated by a facility license to be responsible for directing any licensed activity of a licensed operator.
Regulatory Guide 1.8 Rev 3, "Qualification and Training of Personnel for Nuclear Power Plants" RG 1.8 Rev 3 endorses, with certain additions and exception, ANSI/ANS-3.1-1993, "American National Standard for Selection, Qualification, and Training of Personnel for Nuclear Power Plants." ANSl/ANS-3.1-1993 Section 4.4.2, Senior Operator, states that a senior operator has special requirements to hold a senior operator license for the units assigned.
TMI TS 6.3.1 states that each member of the unit staff shall meet or exceed the minimum qualifications of ANSI/ANS 3.1 of 1978 for comparable positions unless otherwise noted in the Technical Specifications. ANSI/ANS 3.1 of 1978 does not specify if a Control Room Supervisor needs to be a senior operator. Requiring Control Room Supervisors to be SRO licensed is more conservative and a higher qualification standard than possessing an RO license and completing an SRO training program.
4.2 PRECEDENT In regards to the proposed changes to TS 6.1.2, TMI similar designed and operating nuclear plants (Oconee 1, 2, 3, Arkansas Nuclear One -1, and Davis-Besse) have all adopted the improved STS 5.1.2 (NUREG 1430, Revision 4) statement regarding the control room command function.
4.3 NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION Exelon has evaluated whether or not a significant hazards consideration is involved with the proposed amendment 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 do not involve the modification of any plant equipment or affect plant operation. The proposed changes will have no impact on any safety related structures, systems, or components. The proposed changes are administrative in nature and there are no changes to the conduct of control room licensed operators during evaluated accidents.
Therefore, the proposed changes do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
- 2. Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?
Response: No.
Evaluation of Proposed Attachment 1 Technical Specification Changes Page 7 of 8 The proposed changes have no impact on the design, function or operation of any plant structure, system or component. The proposed changes do not affect plant equipment or accident analyses. The proposed changes are administrative in nature.
Therefore, the proposed changes do not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.
- 3. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?
Response: No.
The proposed changes do not adversely affect existing plant safety margins or the reliability of the equipment assumed to operate in the safety analyses. There is no change being made to safety analysis assumptions, safety limits or limiting safety system settings that would adversely affect plant safety as a result of the proposed changes. Margins of safety associated with fission product barriers are unaffected by proposed administrative changes.
Therefore, the proposed changes do not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
Based on the above, Exelon concludes that the proposed amendment does not involve a 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
S 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 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.
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
The proposed amendment is confined to (i) changes to surety, insurance, and/or indemnity requirements; ii) changes to recordkeeping, reporting, or administrative procedures or requirements; (iii) changes to the licensee's or permit holder's name, phone number, business or e-mail address; (iv) changes to the name, position, or title of an officer of the licensee or permit holder, including but not limited to, the radiation safety officer or quality assurance manager; or (v) changes to the format of the license or permit or otherwise makes editorial, corrective or other minor revisions, including the updating of NRC approved references.
Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10). Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.
