1.0 INTRODUCTION

By application dated December 19, 2017 (Reference 1), as supplemented by letters dated April 24, 2018 (Reference 2), October 23, 2018 (Reference 3), and November 20, 2018 (Reference 4), Northern States Power Company - Minnesota (NSPM, the licensee) requested changes to the technical specifications (TSs) for Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant (MNGP),

which are contained in the Renewed Facility Operating License DPR-22. The licensee requested to revise the MNGP TSs by relocating specific surveillance requirement (SR) frequencies to a licensee-controlled program. The licensee requested to revise the TSs to require that changes to such surveillance frequencies be made in accordance with the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) guidance in NEI 04-10, Revision 1, "Risk Informed Technical Specifications Initiative 5b, Risk Informed Method for Control of Surveillance Frequencies" (Reference 5). The requested change is for the adoption of U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) approved Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF)

Standard Technical Specifications (STSs) Change Traveler TSTF-425, Revision 3, "Relocate Surveillance Frequencies to Licensee Control-RITSTF [Risk -Informed TSTF] Initiative 5b" (Reference 6). The Federal Register (FR) notice published on July 6, 2009 (74 FR 31996), announced the availability of TSTF-425, Revision 3.

The supplements dated April 24, 2018, October 23, 2018, and November 20, 2018, provided additional information that clarified the application, but did not expand the scope of the application or change the NRC staff's original proposed no significant hazards consideration determination as published in the FR on February 27, 2018 (83 FR 8518).

2.0

2.1 REGULATORY EVALUATION

Description of the Proposed Changes The licensee proposed to modify the MNGP TSs by relocating specific surveillance frequencies to a licensee-controlled program (i.e., the surveillance frequency control program (SFCP)) in accordance with NEI 04-10, Revision 1. The licensee stated that the proposed change is consistent with the adoption of NRC-approved TSTF-425, Revision 3. When implemented, TSTF-425, Revision 3, relocates most periodic frequencies of TS surveillances to the SFCP, and provides requirements for the new program in the Administrative Controls sections of the TSs. All surveillance frequencies can be relocated except the following:

Frequencies that reference other approved programs for the specific interval, such as the In-Service Testing Program or the Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program; Frequencies that are event-driven (e.g., "each time the control rod is withdrawn to the

'full out' position");

Frequencies that are event-driven, but have a time component for performing the surveillance on a one-time basis once the event occurs (e.g., "within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months after thermal power reaching.:: 95 percent RTP [rated thermal power]"); and Frequencies that are related to specific conditions (e.g., battery degradation, age and capacity) or conditions for the performance of a SR (e.g., "drywell to suppression chamber differential pressure decrease").

The licensee proposed to add the SFCP to TSs, Section 5.0, "Administrative Controls." The SFCP describes the requirements for the program to control changes to the relocated surveillance frequencies. The TS Bases for each affected surveillance would be revised to state that the frequency is controlled under the SFCP. The existing TS Bases information will be relocated to the licensee-controlled SFCP. The proposed changes to the Administrative Controls section of the TSs to incorporate the SFCP include a specific reference to NEI 04-10, Revision 1, as the basis for making any changes to the surveillance frequencies once they are relocated out of the TSs.

In letter dated September 19, 2007 (Reference 7), the NRC staff approved NEI 04-10, Revision 1, as acceptable for referencing in licensing actions to the extent specified and under the limitations delineated in NEI 04-10, Revision 1, and the safety evaluation (SE) providing the basis for NRC acceptance of NEI 04-10, Revision 1. The licensee proposed other changes and deviations from TSTF-425, which are discussed in Section 3.4 of this SE.

2.2 Applicable Commission Policy Statements In the "Final Policy Statement: Technical Specifications for Nuclear Power Plants," dated July 22, 1993 (58 FR 39132), the NRC addressed the use of probabilistic safety analysis (PSA, currently referred to as probabilistic risk assessment or PRA) in STS. In this 1993 publication, the NRC states:

The Commission believes that it would be inappropriate at this time to allow requirements which meet one or more of the first three criteria [of Title 1 O of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Section 50.36] to be deleted from TSs based solely on PSA (Criterion 4). However, if the results of PSA indicate that TSs can be relaxed or removed, a deterministic review will be performed.

The Commission Policy in this regard is consistent with its Policy Statement on "Safety Goals for the Operation of Nuclear Power Plants," 51 FR 30028, published on August 21, 1986. The Policy Statement on Safety Goals states in part, "... probabilistic results should also be reasonably balanced and supported through use of deterministic arguments. In this way, judgments can be made...

about the degree of confidence to be given these [probabilistic] estimates and assumptions. This is a key part of the process for determining the degree of regulatory conservatism that may be warranted for particular decisions. This defense-in-depth approach is expected to continue to ensure the protection of public health and safety."

The Commission will continue to use PSA, consistent with its policy on Safety Goals, as a tool in evaluating specific line-item improvements to TSs, new requirements, and industry proposals for risk-based TS changes.

Approximately 2 years later, the NRC provided additional detail concerning the use of PRA in the "Final Policy Statement: Use of Probabilistic Risk Assessment in Nuclear Regulatory Activities," dated August 16, 1995 (60 FR 42622). In this publication, the NRC states:

The Commission believes that an overall policy on the use of PRA methods in nuclear regulatory activities should be established so that the many potential applications of PRA can be implemented in a consistent and predictable manner that would promote regulatory stability and efficiency. In addition, the Commission believes that the use of PRA technology in NRC regulatory activities should be increased to the extent supported by the state-of-the-art in PRA methods and data and in a manner that complements the NRC's deterministic approach....

PRA addresses a broad spectrum of initiating events by assessing the event frequency. Mitigating system reliability is then assessed, including the potential for multiple and common cause failures (CCFs). The treatment therefore goes beyond the single failure requirements in the deterministic approach. The probabilistic approach to regulation is, therefore, considered an extension and enhancement of traditional regulation by considering risk in a more coherent and complete manner....

Therefore, the Commission believes that an overall policy on the use of PRA in nuclear regulatory activities should be established so that the many potential applications of PRA can be implemented in a consistent and predictable manner that promotes regulatory stability and efficiency. This policy statement sets forth the Commission's intention to encourage the use of PRA and to expand the scope of PRA applications in all nuclear regulatory matters to the extent supported by the state-of-the-art in terms of methods and data....

Therefore, the Commission adopts the following policy statement regarding the expanded NRC use of PRA:

1.

The use of PRA technology should be increased in all regulatory matters to the extent supported by the state-of-the-art in PRA methods and data and in a manner that complements the NRC's deterministic approach and supports the NRC's traditional defense-in-depth philosophy.

2.

PRA and associated analyses (e.g., sensitivity studies, uncertainty analyses, and importance measures) should be used in regulatory matters, where practical within the bounds of the state-of-the-art, to reduce unnecessary conservatism associated with current regulatory requirements, regulatory guides, license commitments, and staff practices. Where appropriate, PRA should be used to support the proposal for additional regulatory requirements in accordance with 10 CFR50.109 (Backfit Rule). Appropriate procedures for including PRA in the process for changing regulatory requirements should be developed and followed. It is, of course, understood that the intent of this policy is that existing rules and regulations shall be complied with unless these rules and regulations are revised.

3.

PRA evaluations in support of regulatory decisions should be as realistic as practicable and appropriate supporting data should be publicly available for review.

4.

The Commission's safety goals for nuclear power plants and subsidiary numerical objectives are to be used with appropriate consideration of uncertainties in making regulatory judgments on the need for proposing and back fitting new generic requirements on nuclear power plant licensees.

2.3 Applicable Regulations Existing regulatory requirements, such as 10 CFR 50.65, "Requirements for monitoring the effectiveness of maintenance at nuclear power plants" (i.e., the Maintenance Rule}, and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," require licensee monitoring of surveillance test failures and implementing corrective actions to address such failures. Such failures can result in the licensee increasing the frequency of a surveillance test. In addition, by having the TSs require that changes to the frequencies listed in the SFCP be made in accordance with NEI 04-10, Revision 1, the licensee will be required to monitor the performance of structures, systems, and components (SSCs) for which surveillance frequencies are decreased to assure reduced testing does not adversely impact the SSCs.

2.4 Regulatory Guides and Review Plans Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.17 4, Revision 3, "An Approach for Using Probabilistic Risk Assessment in Risk-Informed Decisions on Plant-Specific Changes to the Licensing Basis" (Reference 8), describes an acceptable risk-informed approach for assessing the nature and impact of proposed permanent licensing-basis changes by considering engineering issues and applying risk insights. This regulatory guide also provides risk acceptance guidelines for evaluating the results of such evaluations.

Guidance in RG 1.177, Revision 1, "An Approach for Plant-Specific, Risk-Informed Decision-Making: Technical Specifications" (Reference 9), describes an acceptable risk-informed approach specifically for assessing proposed TS changes.

Guidance in RG 1.200, Revision 2, "An Approach for Determining the Technical Adequacy of Probabilistic Risk Assessment Results for Risk-Informed Activities" (Reference 10), describes an acceptable approach for determining whether the acceptability of the base PRA, in total or the parts that are used to support an application, is sufficient to provide confidence in the results, such that the PRA can be used in regulatory decisionmaking for light-water reactors (LWRs).

The NUREG-0800, "Standard Review Plan [SRP] for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants: LWR Edition," Chapter 19, Section 19.2, "Review of Risk Information Used to Support Permanent Plant-Specific Changes to the Licensing Basis: General Guidance" (Reference 11 ), provides general guidance for evaluating the technical basis,for proposed risk-informed changes. Guidance on evaluating PRA technical adequacy is provided in SRP, Chapter 19, Section 19.1, Revision 3, "Determining the Technical Adequacy of Probabilistic Risk Assessment for Risk-Informed License Amendment Requests After Initial Fuel Load" (Reference 12). More specific guidance related to risk-informed TS changes is provided in SRP, Chapter 16, Section 16.1, Revision 1, "Risk-Informed Decision Making: Technical Specifications" (Reference 13), which includes changes to surveillance test intervals (STls) (i.e.,

surveillance frequencies) as part of risk-informed decision making. Section 19.2 of the SRP references the same criteria as RG 1.17 4, Revision 3, and RG 1.177, Revision 1, and states that a risk-informed application should be evaluated to ensure the proposed changes meet the following 5 key principles:

The proposed change meets the current regulations, unless it explicitly relates to a requested exemption or rule change.

The proposed change is consistent with the defense-in-depth philosophy.

The proposed change maintains sufficient safety margins.

When proposed changes result in an increase in core damage frequency (CDF) or risk, the increase(s) should be small and consistent with the intent of the Commission's Safety Goal Policy Statement.

The impact of the proposed change should be monitored using performance measurement strategies.

3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION

3.1 Traditional Engineering Evaluation The traditional engineering evaluation presented below addresses the first three key principles of the staff's standards for risk-informed decision making, which concern compliance with current regulations, evaluation of defense-in-depth, and evaluation of safety margins.

3.1.1 Key Principle 1: Licensing Basis Change Meets the Current Regulations Paragraph (c)(3) of 10 CFR 50.36 requires that TSs include surveillances which are "requirements relating to test, calibration, or inspection to assure that 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." The licensee is required by its TSs to perform surveillance tests, calibration, or inspection on specific safety-related equipment (e.g.,

reactivity control, power distribution, electrical, and instrumentation) to verify system operability.

Surveillance frequencies are based primarily upon deterministic methods such as engineering judgment, operating experience, and manufacturer's recommendations. The licensee's use of NRC-approved methodologies identified in NEI 04-10, Revision 1, provides a way to establish risk-informed surveillance frequencies that complements the deterministic approach and supports the NRC's traditional defense-in-depth philosophy.

The SRs themselves remain in the TSs, as required by 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3). This change is analogous to other NRG-approved TS changes in which the SRs are retained in TSs, but the related surveillance frequencies are relocated to licensee-controlled documents, such as surveillances performed in accordance with the In-Service Testing Program and the Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program. Thus, this proposed change complies with 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3) by retaining the 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.

The regulatory requirements in 10 CFR 50.65 and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, and the monitoring required by referencing NEI 04-10, Revision 1, ensure that surveillance frequencies are sufficient to assure that the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36 are satisfied and that any performance deficiencies will be identified and appropriate corrective actions taken. The licensee's SFCP ensures that SRs specified in the TSs are performed at intervals sufficient to assure the above regulatory requirements are met. In light of the above, the staff concludes that the proposed change meets the first key safety principle of RG 1.17 4, Revision 3, by complying with current regulations.

3.1.2 Key Principle 2: Licensing Basis Change is Consistent with the Defense-In-Depth Philosophy The defense-in-depth philosophy (i.e., the second key safety principle of RG 1.17 4, Revision 3),

is maintained by adherence to the following:

Preserve a reasonable balance among the layers of defense.

Preserve adequate capability of design features without an overreliance on programmatic activities as compensatory measures.

Preserve system redundancy, independence, and diversity commensurate with the expected frequency and consequences of challenges to the system, including consideration of uncertainty.

Preserve adequate defense against potential common-cause failures.

Maintain multiple fission product barriers.

Preserve sufficient defense against human errors.

Continue to meet the intent of the plant's design criteria.

The changes to the Administrative Controls section of the TSs will require the application of NEI 04-10, Revision 1, for any changes to surveillance frequencies within the SFCP.

NEI 04-10, Revision 1, uses both the GDF and the large early release frequency (LERF) metrics to evaluate the impact of proposed changes to surveillance frequencies. The guidance of RG 1.17 4, Revision 3, and RG 1.177, Revision 1, for changes to GDF and LERF is achieved by evaluation using a comprehensive risk analysis, which assesses the impact of proposed changes including contributions from human errors and CCFs. Defense in depth is also included in the methodology explicitly as a qualitative consideration outside of the risk analysis, as is the potential impact on detection of component degradation that could lead to an increased likelihood of CCFs. The NRG staff concludes that both the quantitative risk analysis and the qualitative considerations assure the defense-in-depth philosophy is maintained to ensure protection of public health and safety, satisfying the second key safety principle of RG 1.177, Revision 1.

3.1.3 Key Principle 3: Licensing Basis Change Maintains Sufficient Safety Margins The engineering evaluation conducted by the licensee under the SFCP when surveillance frequencies are revised will assess the impact of the proposed frequency change to assure that sufficient safety margins are maintained. The guidelines used for making that assessment will include ensuring the proposed surveillance test frequency change is not in conflict with approved industry codes and standards or adversely affects any assumptions or inputs to the safety analysis; or, if such inputs are affected, justification is provided to ensure sufficient safety margin will continue to exist.

The design, operation, testing methods, and acceptance criteria for SSCs specified in applicable codes and standards (or alternatives approved for use by the NRC) will continue to be met as described in the plants licensing bases, including the Updated Safety Analysis Report and TS Bases, because these are not affected by changes to the surveillance frequencies. Similarly, there is no impact to safety analysis acceptance criteria as described in the plant licensing basis. On this basis, the NRC staff concludes that safety margins are maintained by the proposed methodology, and the third key safety principle of RG 1.17 4, Revision 3, is satisfied.

3.2 Risk-Informed Considerations The risk-informed considerations presented below addresses the fourth and fifth key principles of the staff's standards for risk-informed decision making, which concern the change in risk and monitoring the impact of the licensing basis change.

The licensee's application for the changes described in TSTF-425, Revision 3, included documentation regarding the PRA (i.e., PRA acceptability) consistent with RG 1.200, Revision 2. NEI 04-10, Revision 1, states that PRA methods are used with plant performance data and other considerations to identify and justify modifications to the surveillance frequencies of equipment at nuclear power plants. This is consistent with guidance provided in RG 1.17 4, Revision 3, and RG 1.177, Revision 1, in support of changes to ST ls.

3.2.1 Key Principle 4: Change in Risk is Consistent with the Commission's Policy Statement on Safety Goals Key Principle 4 focuses on risk considerations and is evaluated using the risk-informed decision making framework for TSs described in SRP Chapter 16.1, Revision 1, RG 1.200, Revision 2, RG 1.174, Revision 3, RG 1.177, Revision 1, as well as SFCP guidance contained NEI 04-10, Revision 1.

NEI 04-10, Revision 1, states that PRA methods are used with plant performance data and other considerations to identify and justify modifications to the surveillance frequencies of equipment at nuclear power plants. This is consistent with guidance provided in RG 1.17 4, Revision 3, and RG 1.177, Revision 1, in support of changes to STls.

Consistent with the information provided in "NRC Regulatory Issue Summary 2007-06 Regulatory Guide 1.200 Implementation" (Reference 14 ), the NRC staff uses Revision 2 of RG 1.200 to assess the acceptability of the PRA used to support the risk-informed applications.

The licensee has performed an assessment of the PRA models used to support the SFCP using the guidance of RG 1.200, Revision 2, to assure that the PRA models are capable of determining the change in risk due to changes to surveillance frequencies of SSCs, using plant-specific data and models. Any identified deficiencies to those requirements are assessed further to determine any impacts to proposed decreases of surveillance frequencies, including the use of sensitivity studies where appropriate, in accordance with NEI 04-10, Revision 1.

The licensee addressed the above provisions provided in the applicable guidance. A summary of how the licensee's SFCP is consistent with the guidance and methodology prescribed in NEI 04-10, Revision 1, and regulatory guidance is provided in the sections below.

3.2.1.1 PRA Acceptability 3.2.1.1.1 PRA Scope The changes to the Administrative Controls section of the TSs will require the licensee to evaluate each proposed change to a relocated surveillance frequency using NEI 04-10, Revision 1, to determine the change's potential impact on risk (CDF and LERF) from internal events, fires, seismic, other external events, and shutdown conditions. In cases where a PRA of sufficient scope or quantitative risk models are unavailable, the licensee uses bounding analyses, or other conservative quantitative evaluations. A qualitative screening analysis may be used when the surveillance frequency impact on plant risk is shown to be insignificant. In Section 3.0 of the license amendment request (LAR) and Section 4.0 of Attachment 2 of the LAR, the licensee proposes the use of the seismic margin analysis (SMA) and the NUMARC report 96-01, "Guidelines for Industry Actions to Assess Shutdown Management" (Reference 15), to assess the risk of seismic and shutdown, respectively. The NRC staff review of the non-PRA methods proposed to be used in the SFCP is provided in Sections 3.2.1.2 through 3.2.1.2.3 of this SE.

The licensee has an internal events (includes internal flood) PRA model (IEPRA) and an internal fire PRA (FPRA) model, both of which model full power operation. In accordance with Section 4.0 of NEI 04-10, Revision 1, the licensee will use the IEPRA and FPRA models to perform quantitative evaluations to support the development of changes to surveillance frequencies in the SFCP. The staff finds the scope of the MNGP IEPRA and FPRA consistent with the NRC-approved methodology in NEI 04-10, Revision 1, because the guidance allows for more refined analysis (i.e., modelled PRA hazards) to be performed supporting changes to surveillance frequencies in the SFCP. The NRC staff review of the IEPRA and FPRA for acceptability is provided in Sections 3.2.1.1.2 and 3.2.1.1.3, respectively, of this SE as follows.

3.2.1.1.2 Internal Events and Internal Flooding In Section 2.3.1 of Attachment 2 of the LAR, the licensee states that a full-scope peer review of the MNGP full power, internal events and internal flood PRA was performed in April 2013 using NEI 05-04, "Process for Performing Follow-On PRA Peer Reviews Using the ASME PRA Standard" (Reference 16), RG 1.200, Revision 2, and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers/American Nuclear Society (ASME/ANS) PRA standard ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009, "Addenda to ASME RA-S-2008 Standard for Level 1/Large Early Release Frequency Probabilistic Risk Assessment for Nuclear Power Plant Applications" (Reference 17). The peer review performed in April 2013 on the IEPRA identified 22 finding-level Facts and Observations (F&Os) that were determined to be not met at Capability Category (CC) II for the specific supporting requirements in ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009.

In Section 2.3.1 of Attachment 2 of the LAR, the licensee states, in part, a Findings Closure Review was completed for the MNGP IEPRA in October 2017 by the Boiling Water Reactor Owner's Group in accordance with the process documented in Appendix X to NEI 05-04, "Close Out of Facts and Observations (F&Os)" (Reference 18). In addition, the licensee states the Findings Closure Review Report determined all 22 finding-level F&Os from the April 2013 peer review were closed as a result of the independent assessments performed. The NRC staff performed a review of these independent assessments, as documented in Section 3.2.1.1.4 of this SE.

3.2.1.1.3 Internal Fire In Section 2.3.2 of Attachment 2 of the LAR, the licensee states that a full-scope peer review of the MNGP full power FPRA was performed in March 2015 using NEI 07-12, "Fire Probabilistic Risk Assessment (FPRA) Peer Review Process Guidelines" (Reference 19), RG 1.200, Revision 2, and ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009. A focused-scope peer review of the MNGP FPRA was performed in December 2016 to assess the licensee's incorporation of upgrades in the FPRA. A total of 75 finding-level F&Os were identified from the March 2015 full-scope peer review and the December 2016 focused-scope peer review.

A findings closure review was completed for the MNGP FPRA in October 2017 by ENERCON Services, Inc. in accordance with the process documented in Appendix X to NEI 05-04. This findings closure review documents 61 of the 75 finding-level F&Os as being closed and 14 of the finding-level F&Os as being open. The 14 open finding-level F&Os were provided in Table 2-1 of Attachment 2 of the LAR. For each finding-level F&O, Table 2-1 identifies the related supporting requirements from ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009, the F&O identifier, the description of the F&O, a summary of actions taken to resolve the F&O, and an evaluation of the impact on the assessment of STls using the process documented in NEI 04-10, Revision 1. In Section 2.5 of of the LAR, the licensee states that the impact of each open FPRA finding-level F&O will be reviewed as part of STI change evaluations and that the results of such reviews will be presented to the Integrated Decisionmaking Panel. Step 14 of NEI 04-10, Revision 1, explicitly states, in part, "[a]dditional sensitivity cases should also be explored for particular areas of uncertainty associated with any of the significant contributors to the CDF and LERF results or if there are open Gap Analysis1 items when compared to the ASME Standard Capability Category II that would impact the results ofthe assessment." The NRC staff finds the licensee's response to address each F&O and its impact on the STI consistent with the NEI guidance for addressing open F&Os in accordance with the SFCP.

The NRC staff reviewed the summary of open FPRA finding-level F&Os provided in Table 2-1 of of the LAR. F&O 2-5 associated with supporting requirement IGN-A7 from ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009 identifies an underestimation of the ignition influencing factors used for certain physical analysis units in the FPRA model. Table 2-1 of Attachment 2 of the LAR states that licensee's actions to resolve the F&O included performing a review of the influencing factors used in the FPRA model and making adjustments to maintenance influencing factors.

Table 2-1 of Attachment 2 of the LAR also indicates that the findings closure review team 1 The term open gap is used synonymous with the term open finding-level F&O for this purpose. An open gap and finding-level F&O are both representative of deficiencies related to supporting requirements in ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009 at CC II.

determined the revised factors were acceptable, but that a better justification of the application of a "very low" influencing factor in fire compartments 8 and 33 are necessary. As part of the NRC staff's request for additional information (RAI) dated September 26, 2018 (Reference 20),

the NRC staff requested that the licensee provide justification for the appropriateness of the treatment of fire compartments 8 and 33 for this application.

In its response to RAI 01.b, provided by letter dated October 23, 2018, the licensee stated that the guidance in FAQ 12-0064, "Close-Out of National Fire Protection Association 805 Frequently Asked Question 12-0064 on Hot Work/Transient Fire Frequency Influence Factors" (Reference 21 ), was considered during a detailed review of F&O 2-5 in May 2018. The licensee performed a subsequent review of the independent assessment team's recommended action in response to RAI 01.b and concluded that the influencing factor related to transient storage of combustibles should be changed from very low (i.e., influencing factor of 0.3) to low (i.e.,

influencing factor of 1.0) for fire compartments 8 and 33. The NRC staff finds this issue has been resolved because the licensee applied acceptable guidance to reevaluate the influence factors and modified the PRA accordingly.

The licensee also stated that the changes to the influencing factor for fire compartments 8 and 33 to 1.0 will be completed during an update of the FPRA prior to the implementation of the SFCP at MNGP.

The NRC staff finds the licensee's planned update of the ignition frequency factors for fire compartments 8 and 33 to low in the FPRA prior to implementation of the SFCP is consistent with the NEI 04-10, Revision 1, guidance for addressing remaining open F&Os.

In addition, NEI 04-10, Revision 1, guidance provides risk metrics for delta CDF, delta LERF, total CDF and total LERF to be met for the risk evaluation(s) performed to assess the extension of a SR. In Section 2.2 of the LAR, the licensee states that the SFCP for MNGP will be performed in accordance with NEI 04-10, Revision 1, therefore, any future changes associated with MNGP updates to the FPRA model used in future STI evaluations to support the extension of SRs will have to meet the risk metrics delineated in Section 4.0 of NEI 04-10, Revision 1.

3.2.1.1.4 Independent Assessment for Closure of Finding-level F&Os Appendix X to NEI 05-04, NEI 07-12, and NEI 12-13 provides processes for close out of F&Os.

In a letter dated May 3, 2017 (Reference 22), the NRC staff accepted, with conditions, Appendix X to NEI 05-04, NEI 07-12, and NEI 12-13 governing the process for close-outs of F&Os. In the letter the NRC staff states, in part, "[t]he NRC also intends to periodically conduct audits of a licensee's implementation of the Appendix X F&O closure process, as well as review a sampling of the final independent assessment team reports." The NRC staff performed an audit of the findings closure reports that documented the independent assessments performed for closure of the F&Os identified in the peer reviews performed in 2013 and 2015 on the IEPRA and FPRA, as documented in the staff audit report (Reference 23).

The NRC staff determined that the F&O closure review teams assessed each finding-level F&O identified from the 2013 and 2015 peer reviews against the supporting requirements at CC II in ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009. The NRC staff finds that the independent assessments performed were consistent with the guidance provided in Appendix X of NEI 05-04, NEI 07-12, and NEI 12-13 and the staff conditions of acceptance for the independent assessment process provided in letter to NEI dated May 3, 2017.

3.2.1.1.5 Key Assumptions and Sources of Uncertainty Table A-1 of RG 1.200, Revision 2, entitled, "Staff Position on ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009 Part 1, General Requirements for an At-Power Level 1 and LERF PRA," includes the NRC staff clarification of Section 1-6.1 of ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009. The resolution for this clarification states, in part, "[t]herefore, the peer review shall also assess the appropriateness of the assumptions." In addition, NUREG-1855, Revision 1 (Reference 27), explicitly states, in part, "RG 1.200 [NRC 2009] and the PRA consensus standard published by ASME and the American Nuclear Society (ANS) (ASME/ANS, 2009) each recognize the importance of identifying and understanding uncertainties as part of the process of achieving acceptability in a PRA, and these references provide guidance on this subject." ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009 has supporting requirements (e.g., QU-ES, QU-E2, QU-E3, QU-E4) that assess the identification of the assumptions and sources of uncertainty, provided basis, and impact to the PRA model. The NRC staff performed a review of the F&Os and did not identify any remaining open F&Os associated with these supporting requirements.

Section 3.3.2 of RG 1.200, Revision 2, provides guidance that states, in part, "[f]or each application that calls upon this regulatory guide, the applicant identifies the key assumptions and approximations relevant to that application. This will be used to identify sensitivity studies as input to the decision-making associated with the application." The failure probabilities of SSCs modeled in PRAs may include a standby time-related contribution and a cyclic demand-related contribution, which is a key uncertainty. In letter dated April 21, 2016 (Reference 24), the industry TSTF provided clarification of information needed to be provided in a submittal to the NRC by licensees adopting TSTF-425, Revision 3. This letter states that licensees should describe in their submittal how the separation of failure rates into cyclic demand-related and standby time-related failure contributions will be performed consistent with the guidance in NEI 04-10, Revision 1, Section 4.0, Step 8.

Section 1.0 of the LAR states that, in accordance with NEI 04-10, Revision 1, all failures will be assumed to be time-related in calculating the risk impact of a proposed STI adjustment, to obtain the maximum test-limited risk contribution. Additionally, the licensee states that if a further breakdown of failure probability is required to remove conservatism from the risk impact calculation of a proposed surveillance frequency change, it shall be justified through data and/or engineering analyses. This is consistent with the guidance in NEI 04-10, Revision 1, Section 4.0, Step 8.

Section 2.5 of Attachment 2 of the LAR states that determination of standby failure rates is a key source of uncertainty and, therefore, sensitivity studies will be performed on standby failure rates for STI evaluations. The SSC failure rate (per unit time) is assumed to be unaffected by the change in test frequency, such that the failure probability is assumed to increase linearly with time. This assumption will be confirmed by the required monitoring and feedback implemented after the change in surveillance frequency is implemented. The NEI 04-10, Revision 1, process requires consideration of qualitative sources of information with regards to potential impacts of test frequency on SSC performance, including industry and plant-specific operating experience, vendor recommendations, industry standards, and code-specified test intervals. Thus, the process is not reliant upon risk analyses as the sole basis for the proposed changes.

The potential benefits of a reduced surveillance frequency, including reduced downtime and reduced potential for restoration errors, test-caused transients, and test-caused wear of equipment, are identified qualitatively, but are not quantitatively assessed. Thus, the NRC staff finds that, consistent with NEI 04-10, Revision 1, the licensee has employed reasonable assumptions with regard to extensions of STls, and is consistent with Regulatory Position 2.3.4 of RG 1.177, Revision 1.

The NRC staff finds the key assumptions and sources of uncertainty provided by the licensee in Section 1.0 of the LAR and Section 2.5 of Attachment 2 of the LAR for the IEPRA (including internal floods) and FPRA, are consistent with RG 1.200, Revision 2, and appropriate when applied consistent with NUREG-1855, Revision 1, for performing future STI evaluations.

3.2.1.1.6 Sensitivity and Uncertainty Analyses By having the TSs require that changes to the frequencies listed in the SFCP be made in accordance with NEI 04-10, Revision 1, the licensee will be required to have sensitivity studies that assess the impact of uncertainties from key assumptions of the PRA, uncertainty in the failure probabilities of the affected SSCs, impact on the frequency of initiating events, and any identified deviations from CC II supporting requirements in ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009. Where the sensitivity analyses identify a potential impact on the proposed change, revised surveillance frequencies are considered, along with any qualitative considerations that may bear on the results of such sensitivity studies. The licensee will also be required to perform monitoring and feedback of SSC performance, once the revised surveillance frequency is implemented. Thus, the NRC staff concludes that through the application of NRG-approved NEI 04-10, Revision 1, the licensee has appropriately considered the possible impact of PRA model uncertainty and sensitivity to key assumptions and model limitations and is consistent with Regulatory Position 2.3.5 of RG 1.177, Revision 1.

3.2.1.1. 7 Summary of IEPRA and FPRA Acceptability In Section 2.3 of Attachment 2 of the LAR, as supplemented in the letter dated October 23, 2018, the licensee provided: ( 1) the history of peer reviews performed for the IEPRA (including internal flood) and FPRA; (2) results of the October 2017 F&O closure review; and (3) the remaining open F&Os along with the proposed resolutions and impact on the application. The NRC staff finds the results of the peer review and October 2017 F&O closure review submitted in the LAR, along with the information provided in the supplement dated October 23, 2018, appropriately identified the technical elements of the ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009 that were not met, provided closure of finding-level F&Os, and identified remaining open findings.

3.2.1.2 External Hazards Consideration and Non-PRA Methods The methodology in NEI 04-10, Revision 1, allows for STI change evaluations to be performed in the absence of quantifiable PRA models for all external hazards. For those cases where the STI cannot be modeled in the plant PRA (or where a particular PRA model does not exist for a given hazard group), a qualitative or bounding analysis is performed to provide justification for the acceptability of the proposed test interval change.

The licensee's process for performing STI evaluation use the following non-PRA methods:

Seismic Margins Assessment and bounding or qualitative analysis consistent with Step 1 O of NE I 04-10, Revision 1.

Qualitative or bounding consistent with Step 10 of NEI 04-10, Revision 1 for high winds or tornados, external floods, and other external hazards.

Safe Shutdown Risk Management program consistent with NUMARC 91-06, as provided for in Step 10 of NEI 04-10, Revision 1.

3.2.1.2.1 Seismic Risk In Section 3.0 of Attachment 2 of the LAR, the licensee states, "[a] Seismic Margins Assessment (SMA) was performed for MNGP with screening of Structures, Systems and Components (SSC) capacity at 0.3g. SSCs impacted by frequency changes under the SFCP, therefore, will be assessed against the Seismic Margins Analysis and evaluated in accordance with NEI 04-10 bounding or qualitative analysis guidance, as appropriate." Step 10b of NEI 04-10, Revision 1, further states "[a]lternative evaluations for the impact from external events and shutdown events are also deemed acceptable at this point." The alternative evaluation considers the risk metrics discussed in Section 3.1.2 of this SE along with the associated sensitivity cases described in Step 14 of NEI 04-10, Revision 1, to bound the potential impact from external events and shutdown PRA model contributors. In addition Step 1 Oa of NEI 04-10, Revision 1, guidance states, in part, "[i]f the seismic risk was evaluated using the SMA, then, in the SMA, a determination shall be made if the SSC impacted by the STI change is part of the success path or not, and the information conveyed to the IDP in Step 15." The NRC staff finds the use of the licensee's SMA in addition to performing a qualitative or a bounding approach as described in NEI 04-10, Revision 1, acceptable for assessing the seismic risk for an STI change.

3.2.1.2.2 Other External Risks External hazards were initially evaluated by the licensee during the individual plant examination of external events (IPEEE). This hazard category includes all non-seismic external hazards such as high winds, external floods, transportation and nearby facility accidents, and other hazards.

NUREG-1407, "Procedural and Submittal Guidance for the Individual Plant Examination of External Events (IPEEE) for Severe Accident Vulnerabilities" (Reference 25), and the screening criteria in ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009 use a bounding mean CDF value of less than 1 E-6 per reactor-year. In Section 3.0 of Attachment 2 of the LAR, the licensee states, in part, "[t]he IPEEE assessment of other external events at Monticello shows that there is no external event (other than internal fires and seismic events) that may be a safety concern to the Monticello plant. No vulnerabilities were identified. These hazards were determined in the MNGP IPEEE to be negligible contributors to overall plant risk." The MNGP IPEEE (Reference 26) external hazard analysis used a progressive screening approach and concluded that all these other hazards are negligible contributors to overall plant risk. The licensee further states in Section 3.0 of Attachment 2 of the LAR "[a] qualitative or a bounding approach will be utilized."

For SSCs determined to be only implicitly modeled, NEI 04-10, Revision 1, provides guidance for performing either a bounding analysis as described in Step 1 Ob or a detailed analysis as described Step 11. Step 1 Ob of NEI 04-10, Revision 1, further states "[a]lternative evaluations for the impact from external events and shutdown events are also deemed acceptable at this point." The alternative evaluation considers the risk metrics discussed in Section 3.1.2 of this SE along with the associated sensitivity cases described in Step 14 of NEI 04-10, Revision 1, to bound the potential impact from external events and shutdown PRA model contributors. The NRC staff finds the use of a qualitative or a bounding approach for other external hazards (e.g.,

high winds, external floods, transportation, and nearby facility accidents) as described in NEI 04-10, Revision 1, acceptable for assessing an STI change.

3.2.1.2.3 Shutdown Risk Consistent with the guidance in NEI 04-10, Revision 1, the licensee proposes to use the shutdown safety assessment process based on NUMARC 91-06. NUMARC 91-06 provides considerations for maintaining defense in depth (DID) for the five key safety functions during shutdown, namely, decay heat removal capability, inventory control, power availability, reactivity control, and containment - primary/secondary. NUMARC 91-06 specifies that a DID approach should be used with respect to each defined shutdown key safety function, which is accomplished by designating a running and an alternative system/train to accomplish the given key safety function.

Step 10a of NEI 04-10, Revision 1, guidance explicitly states, in part, "if the plant had performed other external hazards analysis or a NUMARC 91-06 safety program for shutdown risk, a qualitative evaluation shall be made by personnel knowledgeable in the scope, level of detail, and assumptions of the analysis to conclude if the SSC impacted by the STI change has an important contribution in the evaluation, and the information conveyed to the IDP in Step 15."

The NRC staff finds the use of NU MARC 91-06 in addition to performing a qualitative or a bounding approach as described in NEI 04-10, Revision 1, acceptable for assessing the shutdown risk for an STI change.

3.2.1.3 Acceptance Guidelines The licensee will be required to quantitatively evaluate the change in total risk (including internal and external events contributions) in terms of CDF and LERF for both the individual risk impact of a proposed change in surveillance frequency and the cumulative impact from all individual changes to surveillance frequencies using NEI 04-10, Revision 1, in accordance with the TS SFCP. Each individual change to surveillance frequency must show a risk impact below 1 E-6 per year for change to CDF, and below 1 E-7 per year for change to LERF. These changes to CDF and LERF are consistent with the acceptance criteria of RG 1.174, Revision 3, for very small changes in risk. Where the RG 1.17 4, Revision 3, acceptance criteria are not met, the process in NEI 04-10, Revision 1, either considers revised surveillance frequencies which are consistent with RG 1.17 4, Revision 3, or the process terminates without permitting the proposed changes. Where quantitative results are unavailable for comparison with the acceptance guidelines, appropriate qualitative analyses are required to demonstrate that the associated risk impact of a proposed change to surveillance frequency is negligible or insignificant. Otherwise, bounding quantitative analyses are required which demonstrate the risk impact is at least one order of magnitude lower than the RG 1.17 4, Revision 3, acceptance guidelines for very small changes in risk. In addition to assessing each individual SSC surveillance frequency change, the cumulative impact of all changes must result in a risk impact less than 1 E-5 per year for change to CDF, and less than 1 E-6 per year for change to LERF, and the total CDF and total LERF must be reasonably shown to be less than 1 E-4 per year and 1 E-5 per year, respectively. These values are consistent with the acceptance criteria of RG 1.17 4, Revision 3, as referenced by RG 1.177, Revision 1, for changes to surveillance frequencies.

Consistent with the NRC's SE dated September 19, 2007, for NEI 04-10, Revision 1, the TS SFCP will require the licensee to calculate the total change in risk (i.e., the cumulative risk) by comparing a baseline model that uses failure probabilities based on surveillance frequencies prior to being changed per the SFCP to a revised model that uses failure probabilities based on the changed surveillance frequencies. The NRC staff further notes that the licensee includes a provision to exclude the contribution to cumulative risk from individual changes to surveillance frequencies associated with insignificant risk increases (i.e., less than 5.0E-8 CDF and 5.0E-9 LERF) once the baseline PRA models are updated to include the effects of the revised surveillance frequencies.

The quantitative acceptance guidance of RG 1.17 4, Revision 3, is supplemented by qualitative information to evaluate the proposed changes to surveillance frequencies, including industry and plant-specific operating experience, vendor recommendations, industry standards, the results of sensitivity studies, and SSC performance data and test history. The final acceptability of the proposed change is based on all of these considerations and not solely on the PRA results. Post implementation performance monitoring and feedback are also required to assure continued reliability of the components. The licensee's application of NRG-approved NEI 04-10, Revision 1, provides acceptable methods for evaluating the risk increase associated with proposed changes to surveillance frequencies, consistent with Regulatory Position 2.4 of RG 1.177, Revision 1. Therefore, the NRC staff concludes that the proposed methodology satisfies the fourth key safety principle of RG 1.177, Revision 1, by assuring any increase in risk is small, and is consistent with the intent of the Commission's Safety Goal Policy Statement.

3.2.2 Key Principle 5: Monitor the Impact of the Proposed Change The licensee's adoption of TSTF-425, Revision 3, requires application of NEI 04-10, Revision 1, in the SFCP. NEI 04-10, Revision 1, provides guidance for performance monitoring programs that include the following attributes:

Enough tests are included to provide meaningful data.

The test is devised such that incipient degradation can reasonably be expected to be detected.

The licensee trends appropriate parameters as necessary, to provide reasonable assurance that the component will remain operable over the test interval.

Furthermore, Step 19 of NEI 04-10, Revision 1, for periodic re-assessment specifies, in part,

"[p]rovisions whereby component performance data is fed back periodically into the component test strategy determination (i.e., test interval and methods) process. This would include results of component or train level monitoring of Maintenance Rule (or §50.69 monitoring)."

The above provisions are considered to be acceptable performance monitoring strategies for assuring that the risk of the proposed change will remain small. Accordingly, Key Principle 5 is met.

3.3 Addition of Surveillance Frequency Control Program to Administrative Controls The licensee proposed including the SFCP and specific requirements into the MNGP TSs, Section 5.5.14, as follows:

Surveillance Frequency Control Program This program provides controls for Surveillance Frequencies. The program shall ensure that Surveillance Requirements specified in the Tec~nical Specifications are performed at intervals sufficient to assure that the associated Limiting Conditions for Operation are met.

a) The Surveillance Frequency Control Program shall contain a list of frequencies of those Surveillance Requirements for which the Frequency is controlled by the program.

b) Changes to the Frequencies listed in the Surveillance Frequency Control Program shall be made in accordance with NEI 04-10, "Risk-Informed Method for Control of Surveillance Frequencies," Revision 1.

c) The provisions of Surveillance Requirements 3.0.2 and 3.0.3 are applicable to the Frequencies established in the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.

The proposed program is consistent with the model application of TSTF-425, Revision 3, and therefore, the staff concludes that it is acceptable.

3.4 Deviations from TSTF-425 and Other Changes The licensee states that, revised {clean) TS pages are not included in this LAR given the number of TS pages affected, the straightforward nature of the proposed changes, and outstanding LARs that may affect some of the same TS pages. Only mark-ups of the proposed TS changes are provided to satisfy requirements of 10 CFR 50.90, "[a]pplication for amendment of license, construction permit, of early site permit." The NRC staff determined that this change is administrative in nature and continues to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.90 and is an acceptable variation from the approved TSTF.

The definition of STAGGERED TEST BASIS is being retained in the MNGP TS due to its continued use in Administrative TS Section 5.5.13, "Control Room Envelope Habitability Program." Since this defined term is still used elsewhere in the TS, it should remain in the TS according to the NUREG-1433 guidance. This is an administrative deviation and the NRC staff recognizes that the definition should be retained for the reason stated; therefore, this deviation is acceptable.

The insert provided in TSTF-425 for the TS Bases (Insert 2) states, "The Surveillance Frequency is based on operating experience, equipment reliability, and plant risk and is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program." In a letter dated April 14, 201 O (Reference 28), the NRC staff agreed that the insert applies to surveillance frequencies that are relocated and subsequently evaluated and changed in accordance with the SFCP, but does not apply to frequencies relocated to the SFCP, but not changed. Therefore, the insert for the Bases is revised to, "The Surveillance Frequency is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program" or "The Surveillance Frequencies are controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program," as appropriate. The NRC staff reviewed the proposed wording and determined that these are administrative deviations only with no impact on the conclusions reached in the NRC's model SE dated July 6, 2009, and are, therefore, acceptable.

A cross-reference between the NUREG 1433 SR included in TSTF-425 versus MNGP TS SRs included in the LAR was provided. The cross-reference includes the following:

TS SRs included in TSTF-425 and corresponding MNGP TS SRs with differing TS SR numbers TS SRs included in TSTF-425 that are not contained in the MNGP TS MNGP plant-specific TS SRs that are not contained in the TSTF-425 TS SRs and, therefore, are not included in the TSTF-425 mark-ups The cross reference served only as an aid in the NRC staff review and provided information as stated in bullet 4 of section 2.2 of the LAR.

The licensee's TS contain plant-specific SRs not included in the approved TSTF-425, Revision 3. Approved TSTF-425, Revision 3, states, "[t]he proposed change relocates all periodic Surveillance Frequencies from the Technical Specifications and places the Frequencies under licensee control in accordance with a new program" and "[a]II surveillances are relocated except [four exclusion criteria for the surveillance frequencies are listed]." It does not add, delete, or modify the content of the surveillance requirements themselves. These statements denote that TSTF-425 applies to all surveillances, including the MNGP plant specific surveillances, that are periodic and do not meet one of the exclusion criteria. The NRC staff reviewed the marked-up SRs in the LAR and supplements to ensure that no surveillances were included that matched the exclusion criteria. The staff determined that all marked-up surveillances included in the original LAR, as supplemented, were included within the scope of approved TSTF-425, Revision 3. Therefore, the SRs will continue to meet 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3).

The licensee included SR 3.1.2.1 which was not included in the approved traveler TSTF-425 Revision 3. The licensee stated that the frequency of SR 3.1.2.1 is encompassed by the intent of TSTF-425, Revision 3, and, therefore, was within the scope of the NRC model SE. The licensee further stated that the NUREG-1433 markups within TSTF-425 include a similar core exposure based frequency in SR 3.3.1.1.6. During the NRC review of TSTF-425, Revision 1, an information response from the TSTF (Reference 29) specifically identified frequencies based on core exposure to be within the scope of TSTF-425 and NEI 04-10. Therefore, the NRC staff recognizes MNGP SR 3.1.2.1 to be within scope of approved traveler TSTF-425, Revision 3, for the reasons stated and, therefore, accepts the markup of SR 3.1.2.1 proposed in the original LAR.

3.5 Summary and Conclusions The NRC staff has reviewed the licensee's proposed relocation of some surveillance frequencies to a licensee-controlled document, and controlling changes to surveillance frequencies in accordance with a new program, the SFCP, identified in the Administrative Controls of TSs. The NRC staff confirmed that this amendment does not relocate surveillance frequencies that reference other approved programs for the specific interval, are purely event-driven, are event-driven but have a time component for performing the surveillance on a one-time basis once the event occurs, or are related to specific conditions. The SFCP and TSs Section 5.0, Subsection 5.5.14, references NEI 04-10, Revision 1, which provides a risk-informed methodology using plant-specific risk insights and performance data to revise surveillance frequencies within the SFCP. This methodology supports relocating surveillance frequencies from TSs to a licensee-controlled document, provided those frequencies are changed in accordance with the NRG-approved NEI 04-10, Revision 1, which is specified in the administrative controls of the TSs.

The proposed licensee adoption of TSTF-425, Revision 3, and risk-informed methodology of NRG-approved NEI 04-10, Revision 1, as referenced in the Administrative Controls of TSs, satisfies the key principles of risk-informed decisionmaking applied to changes to TSs as delineated in RG 1.17 4, Revision 3, and RG 1.177, Revision 1, in that:

The proposed change meets current regulations; The proposed change is consistent with defense-in-depth philosophy; The proposed change maintains sufficient safety margins; Increases in risk resulting from the proposed change are small and consistent with the Commission's Safety Goal Policy Statement; and The impact of the proposed change is monitored with performance measurement strategies.

Paragraph 50.36(c) of 10 CFR discusses the categories that will be included in TSs.

Paragraph 50.36(c)(3) of 10 CFR discusses the specific category of SRs and 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." The NRC staff finds that with the proposed relocation of surveillance frequencies to a licensee-controlled document and administratively controlled in accordance with the TS SFCP, the licensee continues to meet the requirements in 1 O CFR 50.36.

4.0 STATE CONSULTATION

In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Minnesota State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendment on January 3, 2019. The State official had no comments.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

The amendment changes a requirement with respect to the installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area as defined in 1 O CFR Part 20 or change the surveillance requirements. The staff has determined that the amendment involves no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant change in the types, of any effluents that may be released offsite, and that there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration and there has been no public comment on such finding (83 FR 8518). Accordingly, the amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b),

no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendment.

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 amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
