SUMMARY

DESCRIPTION This license amendment request proposes a change which would revise Hope Creek Technical Specification (TS) Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) 3.3.7.4 and associated ACTIONS and SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS concerning operability of the Remote Shutdown System.

The proposed change would increase the allowed outage time for inoperable Remote Shutdown System components to a time that is more consistent with their safety significance. It will also delete Tables 3.3.7.4-1, REMOTE SHUTDOWN MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION, 3.3.7.4-2, REMOTE SHUTDOWN SYSTEMS CONTROLS, and 4.3.7.4-1, REMOTE SHUTDOWN MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS, to be relocated to the Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) where they will be directly controlled by HCGS.

2.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION 2.1 System Design and Operation The Remote Shutdown System (RSS) provides the means for achieving and maintaining safe shutdown conditions from outside the main control room in the unlikely event the main control room becomes uninhabitable.

The primary control station for the RSS is the remote shutdown panel (RSP). In the event of a failure at the RSP, sufficient redundant safety grade instrumentation and controls are available remote from both the main control room and the RSP to ensure that safe shutdown of the reactor can be achieved in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix A General Design Criteria (GDC) 19. The systems for which the RSP provides remote instrumentation and controls to accomplish this function are as follows:

2.1.1. Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) - to maintain reactor water level.

2.1.2. Residual Heat Removal (RHR) system (loop B) - for suppression pool cooling and shutdown cooling.

2.1.3. Safety Auxiliaries Cooling System (SACS) (loop B) - to supply cooling water to the RHR (B) heat exchanger, RCIC and RHR pump room coolers, RHR (B) motor oil and seal coolers, the Standby Diesel Generator (SDG) cooling loads, and other necessary loads.

2.1.4. Station Service Water System (SSWS) (loop B) - to supply cooling water to the SACS loop B heat exchangers.

2.1.5. Control Area Chilled Water System (CACWS) (loop B) - for cooling various ESF equipment rooms and the main control room.

2.1.6. Nuclear boiler instrumentation - to monitor reactor vessel pressure and level.

2.1.7. Portions of the Fuel Pool Cooling System (FPCS).

2.1.8. Main steam line safety/relief valves (manual actuation) - to lower reactor vessel pressure.

2.2 Current Technical Specification Requirements The current TS 3.3.7.4, Remote Shutdown System Instrumentation and Controls, Limiting Condition for Operability (LCO) states, The remote shutdown system instrumentation and controls shown in Table 3.3.7.4-1 and Table 3.3.7.4-2 shall be OPERABLE.

LR-N18-0098 LAR H18-05 Enclosure TS 3.3.4 ACTIONS a. and b. state,

a. With the number of OPERABLE remote shutdown monitoring instrumentation channels less than required by Table 3.3.7.4-1, restore the inoperable channel(s) to OPERABLE status within 7 days or be in at least HOT SHUTDOWN within the next 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />.
b. With the number of OPERABLE remote shutdown system controls less than required in Table 3.3.7.4-2, restore the inoperable control(s) to OPERABLE status within 7 days or be in at least HOT SHUTDOWN within the next 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />.

SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENT 4.3.7.4.1 states, Each of the above required remote shutdown monitoring instrumentation channels shall be demonstrated OPERABLE by performance of the CHANNEL CHECK and CHANNEL CALIBRATION operations at the frequencies specified in the Surveillance Frequency Control Program unless otherwise noted by Table 4.3.7.4-1.

SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENT 4.3.7.4.2 states, At least one of each of the above remote shutdown control switch(es) and control circuits shall be demonstrated OPERABLE by verifying its capability to perform its intended function(s) in accordance with the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.

2.3 Reason for the Proposed Change The proposed changes, as shown in Section 2.4 and described in Section 3.0 below, revise TS 3.3.7.4 to be consistent with Improved Standard Technical Specifications (ISTS) 3.3.3.2. In doing so it removes unnecessary information and relocates it to a licensee controlled document preventing needless expenditure of licensee and NRC resources processing license amendments to revise tables when the licensee can adequately control the information.

The change also increases the Allowed Outage Time for inoperable Remote Shutdown System components from 7 to 30 days which is more consistent with their safety significance and is consistent with the ISTS 3.3.3.2 REQUIRED ACTION A.1 COMPLETION TIME.

2.4 Description of the Proposed Change TS 3.3.7.4 is being revised as shown below:

LCO:

The remote shutdown system instrumentation and controls shown in Table 3.3.7.4.1 and Table 3.3.7.4-2 functions shall be OPERABLE.

Listing specific instrumentation and controls is unnecessary and may lead to needless expenditure of licensee and NRC resources processing license amendments to revise the table when the licensee can adequately control the information. These details are not necessary to adequately describe the actual regulatory requirement.

Therefore, they can be moved to a licensee controlled document without a significant impact on safety. Placing these details in controlled documents provides adequate assurance that they will be maintained.

Revisions to the TRM are reviewed pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59 as described in UFSAR Section 13.5.4. Changes to the TRM will not affect the requirements of the LCO for the Remote Shutdown System.

2. Revise TS 3.3.7.4 ACTION a. to delete the Table 3.3.7.4-1 is being deleted as discussed reference to monitoring instrumentation in 1 above.

4.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION

4.1 Applicable Regulatory Requirements and Criteria 10 CFR 50.36, Technical Specifications, identifies the requirements for the Technical Specification categories for operating power plants: (1) Safety limits, limiting safety system settings, and limiting control settings, (2) Limiting conditions for operation, (3) Surveillance requirements, (4) Design features, (5) Administrative controls, (6) Decommissioning and (7)

Initial notification, and (8) Written Reports. For Limiting conditions for operation, 10 CFR 50.36 states: Limiting conditions for operation are the lowest functional capability or performance levels of equipment required for safe operation of the facility. When a limiting condition for operation of a nuclear reactor is not met, the licensee shall shut down the reactor or follow any remedial action permitted by the technical specifications until the condition can be met. For Surveillance Requirements, 10 CFR 50.36 states: Surveillance requirements are requirements relating to test, calibration, or inspection to assure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the limiting conditions for operation will be met.

7

LR-N18-0098 LAR H18-05 Enclosure The Remote Shutdown System is required to provide equipment at appropriate locations outside the control room with a capability to promptly shut down and maintain the unit in a safe condition thus satisfying Criterion 4 of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii). HCGS UFSAR Section 7.4.1.4 (Reference 6.1) describes the design of the Remote Shutdown System and its design bases.

The proposed changes to TS 3/4.3.7.4 do not affect the UFSAR description of the HCGS Remote Shutdown System, its design bases, or performance.

10 CFR 50 Appendix A, GDC 19, "Control Room," states that equipment at appropriate locations outside the control room shall be provided (1) with a design capability for prompt hot shutdown of the reactor, including necessary instrumentation and controls to maintain the unit in a safe condition during hot shutdown, and (2) with a potential capability for subsequent cold shutdown of the reactor through the use of suitable procedures. Since no physical changes are being made, and current design bases are not being affected, there is no impact on compliance with GDC 19.

4.2 Precedent 4.2.1 License Amendments The changes proposed herein to the Remote Shutdown System are similar to those previously approved by the NRC for the South Texas Project Electric Generating Station. This previous approval is discussed below.

South Texas Project Electric Generating Station By letter dated November 4, 2003 (ADAMS accession ML033140308), as supplemented by letter dated June 29, 2004 (ML041890388), STP Nuclear Operating Company requested NRC approval of a South Texas Project Generating Station TS change to the Remote Shutdown System to be consistent with the requirements of NUREG-1431. The NRC approved the change in License Amendment Nos. 163/152 for STP Units 1 and 2, issued August 20, 2004 (ML042370841). The amendment issued for STP was substantively equivalent to the amendment requested herein for the HCGS, in that it revised the TS associated with the Remote Shutdown System to be consistent with the requirements of NUREG-1431 which is substantively equivalent to the NUREG-1433 TS for the Remote Shutdown System.

4.3 No Significant Hazards Consideration PSEG Nuclear LLC (PSEG) requests approval of a change to the Hope Creek Generating Station (HCGS) Technical Specifications (TS) concerning operability of the Remote Shutdown System. The proposed change would increase the allowed outage time for inoperable Remote Shutdown System components to a time that is more consistent with their safety significance and with the requirements of NUREG-1433, Standard Technical Specifications - General Electric BWR/4 Plants. It will also delete Tables 3.3.7.4-1, REMOTE SHUTDOWN MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION, 3.3.7.4-2, REMOTE SHUTDOWN SYSTEMS CONTROLS, and 4.3.7.4-1, REMOTE SHUTDOWN MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS, to be relocated to the Technical Requirements Manual (TRM). Although the Remote Shutdown System component list is relocated from the TS to the TRM, the information being relocated will be controlled and further revisions to the TRM Table will be subject to 10 CFR 50.59.

8

LR-N18-0098 LAR H18-05 Enclosure PSEG 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 TS amendment does not involve potential accident initiators; therefore, there is no significant increase in the probability of an accident previously evaluated.

There is no proposed change to the design basis or configuration of the plant and the extension of the allowed outage time of the Remote Shutdown System functions is consistent with the low probability of an event requiring control room evacuation during the allowed outage time and does not have a significant effect on safety.

Therefore, the proposed change does 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.

The proposed amendment does not involve physical alteration of the HCGS. No new equipment is being introduced, and installed equipment is not being operated in a new or different manner. There is no change being made to the parameters within which the HCGS is operated. There are no setpoints at which protective or mitigating actions are initiated that are affected by this proposed action. The change does not alter assumptions made in the safety analysis. This proposed action will not alter the manner in which equipment operation is initiated, nor will the functional demands on credited equipment be changed. No alteration is proposed to the procedures that ensure the HCGS remains within analyzed limits, and no change is being made to procedures relied upon to respond to an off-normal event. As such, no new failure modes are being introduced.

Therefore, the proposed changes do not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated.

3. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

Response: No.

Margin of safety is related to the confidence in the ability of the fission product barriers to perform their design functions during and following an accident. These barriers include the fuel cladding, the reactor coolant system, and the containment system. The proposed change, which makes the HCGS TS for Remote Shutdown System consistent with the requirements of NUREG-1433, does not exceed or alter a setpoint, design basis or safety limit.

9

LR-N18-0098 LAR H18-05 Enclosure Therefore, the proposed amendment does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Based upon the above, PSEG Nuclear concludes that the proposed amendment presents no 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 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 Commissions 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

A review has determined that the proposed amendment would change a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area, as defined in 10 CFR 20, or would change an inspection or surveillance requirement. However, the proposed amendment does not involve (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) a significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluent that may be released offsite, or (iii) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.

Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.

Technical Specification Page 3/4 3.7.4 B 3/4 3-5

INSTRUMENTATION BASES 3/4.3.7 MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION 3/4.3.7.1 RADIATION MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION The OPERABILITY of the radiation monitoring instrumentation ensures that; (1) the radiation levels are continually measured in the areas served by the individual channels, and (2) the alarm or automatic action is initiated when the radiation level trip setpoint is exceeded; and (3) sufficient information is available on selected plant parameters to monitor and assess these variables following an accident. This capability is consistent with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, General Design Criteria 19, 41, 60, 61, 63 and 64.

3/4.3.7.2 DELETED 314.3.7.3 DELETED ISYST :J I 3/4.3.7.4 REMOTE SHUTDOWN MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL$

F The OPERABILITY of the remote shutdown mgr:itgriRQ iRstr:meRtatigR aRd sgr:tmls ensures that sufficient capability is available to permit shutdown and maintenance of HOT SHUTDOWN of the unit from locations outside of the control room. This capability is required in the event control room habitability is lost and is consistent with General Design Criteria 19 of 10 CFR 50.

3/4.3.7.5 ACCIDENT MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION The OPERABILITY of the accident monitoring instrumentation ensures that sufficient information is available on selected plant parameters to monitor and assess important variables following an accident.

This capability is consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.97, "Instrumentation for Light Water Cooled Nuclear Power Plants to Assess Plant Conditions During and Following an Accident,"

December 1980 and NUREG-0737, "Clarification of TMI Action Plan Requirements," November 1980.

3/4.3.7.6 SOURCE RANGE MONITORS The source range monitors provide the operator with information of the status of the neutron level in the core at very low power levels during startup and shutdown. At these power levels, reactivity additions shall not be made without this flux level information available to the operator. For a discussion of SPIRAL RELOAD and SPIRAL UNLOAD and the associated flux monitoring requirements, see Technical Specification Bases Section 3/4.9.2. When the intermediate range monitors are on scale, adequate information is available without the SRMs and they can be retracted.
