Objectives
- Provide the NRC Staff with an overview of DTEs plans to transition to a 24 Month Fuel Cycle (24 MFC) and associated License Amendment Request (LAR)
- Scope and content
- Schedule
- Obtain NRC feedback

- Approval schedule
- Lessons learned Fermi 2 License Amendment Request Pre-Submittal Meeting 3
Background
- Fermi 2 has implemented Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF)
Traveler 425, Relocate Surveillance Frequencies to Licensee Control.
- TSTF-425 relocated most surveillance frequencies to licensee control under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program (SFCP) defined by TS 5.5.15.
- TSTF-425 was approved and implemented at Fermi prior to DTE plans to adopt a 24 MFC
- DTE Energy is requesting NRC approval of a 24 MFC license amendment based on GL 91-04 in lieu of the Surveillance Frequency Control Program (SFCP)
Fermi 2 License Amendment Request Pre-Submittal Meeting 4
Background
There are two main components to the 24 MFC transition:
- 1. Surveillance frequency changes from 18 to 24 months
- 2. Fuel and Core Design
- A separate LAR may be necessary to revise Safety Limit Minimum Critical Power Ratio (SLMCPR)
- DTE intends to adopt TSTF-564, SLMCPR
- DTE plans to implement remaining Fuel and Core Design changes in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59.
- DTE will continue to manage the inter-relationships between planned and submitted LARs Fermi 2 License Amendment Request Pre-Submittal Meeting 5
LAR Overview - Scope and Content
- Technical justification in accordance with GL 91-04
- Document acceptability for Surveillance extensions
- Leverage and build upon the proven and predictable basis for extending surveillance frequencies
- Impact and Changes to the TS
- TS 5.5.15 Surveillance Frequency Control Program
- A note permitting the one time use of GL 91-04 to revise surveillance frequencies governed by the SFCP
- TS 5.5.7, Ventilation Filter Testing Program and TS 5.5.14, Control Room Envelope Habitability Program
- Extend 18 month test frequencies not governed by the SFCP Fermi 2 License Amendment Request Pre-Submittal Meeting 6
LAR Overview - Scope and Content Fermi 2 License Amendment Request Pre-Submittal Meeting 7
LAR Overview - Scope and Content
- Consistent with all other 24 MFC plants, DTE will use GL 91-04 to justify surveillance and test frequency changes.
- The LAR will include the same content and technical justification as previous GL 91-04 based 24 MFC applications.
- To date, no plant has used the SFCP to transition to 24 MFC.
- After approval, Fermi will be the same as all other BWRs with GL 91-04 based 24 month surveillance frequencies subsequently controlled by the SFCP.
GL 91-04 provides a proven and predictable basis for extending surveillance and test frequencies to support 24 MFC Fermi 2 License Amendment Request Pre-Submittal Meeting 8
Summary / Questions / NRC Feedback
- GL 91-04 will be used as the technical basis
- The SFCP would continue to govern the re-baselined 24 month SR frequencies
- DTE plans to implement 24 MFC in Fall 2021
- Questions?
- Feedback?
