1.0 INTRODUCTION
By application dated March 1, 2018 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML18060A266), Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon, the licensee) submitted a license amendment request for Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2 (Braidwood); Byron Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 (Byron); Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2 (Calvert Cliffs); Clinton Power Station, Unit No. 1 (Clinton); Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3 (Dresden); James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant (FitzPatrick);
LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2 (LaSalle); Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2 (Limerick); Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2 (NMP-1 and NMP-2, respectively);
Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3 (Peach Bottom); Quad Cities Nuclear PQwer Station, Units 1 and 2 (Quad Cities); R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant (Ginna); and Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1 (TMI) (the facilities). The amendments would revise the technical specifications (TSs) for each facility to relocate the licensee's staff qualification requirements to the Exelon Quality Assurance Topical Report (QATR).
Currently, the TSs for the facilities require, with specified exceptions, that the licensee's staff meet or exceed the minimum qualification requirements of either the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) N18.1-1971, "American National Standard Selection and Training of Nuclear Power Plant Personnel," or the ANSI/American Nuclear Society (ANS)-3.1-1978, "American National Standard for Selection and Training of Nuclear Power Plant Personnel."
The proposed changes would relocate these requirements, including any exceptions, to the Exelon QATR to support standardizing the qualifications for Exelon personnel.
2.0
2.1 REGULATORY EVALUATION
Description of Proposed Changes The licensee proposed to relocate the staff qualification requirements currently specified in the following TSs to the Exelon QATR:
- 1. TS 5.3.1 for Braidwood, Byron, Calvert Cliffs, Clinton, Dresden, LaSalle, NMP-2, Quad Cities, and Ginna;
- 3. TS 5.2.2.f, TS 5.3.1, and TS 5.3.2 for FitzPatrick;
- 4. TS 6.3.1 for Limerick;
Except for FitzPatrick TS 5.3.1, the current staff qualification requirements listed in these TSs will be relocated verbatim to the Exelon QATR. Currently, FitzPatrick TS 5.3.1 states: "Each member of the unit staff shall meet or exceed the minimum qualifications of ANSI/ANS 3.1-1978 for comparable positions with exceptions specified in the Entergy Quality Assurance Program Manual (QAPM)." The application states that the information in FitzPatrick TS 5.3.1 was already incorporated into the Exelon QATR. In addition, the FitzPatrick facility operating license was transferred from Entergy to Exelon in 2017, so the reference to the Entergy QAPM is not applicable.
TS 5.3.1 for Braidwood and Byron will be revised to state:
Each member of the facility staff shall meet or exceed the minimum qualifications referenced for comparable positions as specified in the Exelon Quality Assurance Topical Report.
TS 5.3.1 for Calvert Cliffs, Clinton, Dresden, FitzPatrick, LaSalle, NMP-2, Peach Bottom, and Quad Cities, and TS 6.3.1 for Limerick Unit 1, NMP-1, and TMI will be revised to state:
Each member of the unit staff shall meet or exceed the minimum qualifications referenced for comparable positions as specified in the Exelon Quality Assurance Topical Report.
TS 6.3.1 for Limerick Unit 2 will be revised to state:
Each member of unit staff shall meet or exceed the minimum qualifications referenced for comparable positions as specified in the Exelon Quality Assurance Topical Report.
TS 5.3.1 for Ginna will be revised to state:
Each member of the plant staff shall meet or exceed the minimum qualifications referenced for comparable positions as specified in the Exelon Quality Assurance Topical Report.
The licensee has proposed to delete Peach Bottom TS 5.3.2, FitzPatrick TS 5.3.2, NMP-1 TS 6.3.2, TMI TS 6.3.2, and TMI TS 6.3.3.
The licensee has proposed to revise FitzPatrick TS 5.2.2.f to state (emphasis added to indicate revised text):
When in MODES 1, 2, or 3 an individual shall provide advisory technical support to the unit operations shift crew in the areas of thermal hydraulics, reactor engineering, and plant analysis with regard to the safe operations of the unit.
This individual shall meet the qualifications specified in the Exelon Quality Assurance Topical Report. of the application provided mark-up of the proposed changes to the Exelon QA TR The proposed changes to the Exelon QA TR also included changes associated with Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station and other editorial changes. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) staff did not review the Exelon QATR changes associated with Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station, and did not review other changes to the QATR not directly related to the requested amendments. Changes to the quality assurance program must be made in accordance with Title 1 O of the Code of Federal Regulations ( 10 CFR) Section 50.54(a).
2.2 Regulatory Requirements and Guidance The NRC staff considered the following regulatory requirements and guidance in its review of the application.
The regulations in paragraph (c)(5) of 10 CFR 50.36, Technical specifications," provides requirements for the content of the TS in the category of administrative controls.
The regulations in 1 O CFR 50.120, Training and qualification of nuclear power plant personnel,"
require training and qualification for personnel to operate and maintain the facility in a safe manner in all modes of operation.
Appendix B, "Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants," to 10 CFR 50 provides requirements for quality assurance programs. The regulations in 10 CFR 50.54(a) provides requirements for making changes to quality assurance programs.
Paragraph 50.54(a)(3) of 10 CFR states, in part, that:
Each licensee described in [10 CFR 50.54(a)(1)] may make a change to a previously accepted quality assurance program description included or referenced in the Safety Analysis Report without prior NRC approval, provided the change does not reduce the commitments in the program description as accepted by the NRC. Changes to the quality assurance program description that do not reduce the commitments must be submitted to the NRC in accordance with the requirements of [10 CFR] 50. 71 ( e ).
Paragraph 50.54(a)(4) of 10 CFR requires changes to the quality assurance program that do reduce commitments to be submitted to the NRC and receive NRC approval prior to implementation.
Section 13.2.2, "Non-Licensed Plant Staff Training" (ADAMS Accession No. ML15006A129), of NUREG-0800, "Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants: [Light-Water Reactor] LWR Edition," provides guidance for the review of training programs for non-licensed plant staff.
NRC Administrative Letter (AL) 95-06, "Relocation of Technical Specification Administrative Controls Related to Quality Assurance," dated December 12, 1995 (ADAMS Accession No. ML031110271 ), provides guidance for relocating requirements from the administrative controls section of TSs in cases where adequate controls are provided by other methods.
AL 95-06 notes that the quality assurance program is a logical candidate for such relocations due to the controls imposed on the quality assurance program by regulations (e.g., 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, and 10 CFR 50.54(a)), and the existence of NRG-approved quality assurance plans and commitments to industry quality assurance standards.
NRC Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.8, Revision 3, "Qualification and Training of Personnel for Nuclear Power Plants," dated May 2000 (ADAMS Accession No. ML003706932), provides guidance that is acceptable to the NRC staff regarding training and qualifications of nuclear power plant personnel. Revision 1 of RG 1.8 endorsed ANSI N18.1-1971 with one exception.1 Revision 2 (April 1987) of RG 1.8 endorsed ANSI/ANS-3.1-1981 for certain positions and ANSI N18.1-1971 for other positions, with exceptions, clarifications, and additions. Revision 3 of RG 1.8 endorsed ANSI/ANS-3.1-1993, with exceptions, clarifications, and additions.
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
The proposed amendments would relocate the licensee's staff qualification requirements currently in the TSs for each facility to the Exelon QATR. Except for FitzPatrick TS 5.3.1, the current staff qualification requirements will be relocated verbatim to the Exelon QATR. The application stated that the information in FitzPatrick TS 5.3.1 was already incorporated into the Exelon QATR. In addition, the FitzPatrick facility operating license was transferred from Entergy to Exelon in 2017, so the reference to the Entergy QAPM is not applicable. Exelon's proposed changes are similar to changes that the NRC approved for the Tennessee Valley Authority (ADAMS Accession No. ML17034A360).
The NRC staff considered the regulations and guidance in Section 2.2 of this safety evaluation in its review of the licensee's application. The application stated that the licensee's staff qualification requirements for each facility will be relocated to the Exelon QATR verbatim, with the exceptions noted for FitzPatrick. In addition, the application does not propose any reduction in commitments in the quality assurance programs. Therefore, the licensee's staff qualification requirements will not be changed by this amendment, and these requirements remain consistent with RG 1.8. In addition, the relocation of the licensee's staff qualification requirements to the Exelon QATR is consistent with the guidance in AL 95-06 and with past precedent.
1 Revision 1 of RG 1.8 was originally published in September 1975 and was republished in May 1977 as Revision 1-R.
The NRC staff concludes that the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36 and 50.120 will continue to be met because the licensee's staff qualification requirements will not be changed by these amendments. In addition, future changes to the licensee's staff qualification requirements that are relocated to the Exelon QATR must be made in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(a). Future reduction in commitments associated with the licensee's staff qualification requirements that are relocated to the Exelon QATR will require NRC approval, per 10 CFR 50.54(a)(4), prior to implementation. Therefore, the proposed TS changes and relocation of the licensee's staff qualification requirements to the Exelon QATR are acceptable.
4.0 STATE CONSULTATION
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Illinois, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New York State officials were notified of the proposed issuance of the amendments on July 23, 2018.
The State officials had no comments.
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
The amendments relate to changes in recordkeeping, reporting, or administrative procedures or requirements. Accordingly, the amendments meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendments.
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 amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
