H. B. ROBINSON STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT, UNIT NO. 2 - ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENT NO. 265 REGARDING ADOPTION OF TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS TASK FORCE (TSTF) TRAVELER TSTF-425, REVISION 3, "RELOCATE SURVEILLANCE FREQUENCIES TO LICENSEE CONTROL-RITSTF INITIATIVE 5b" (EPID L-2018-LLA-0104)
Dear Mr. Kapopoulos:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) has issued the enclosed Amendment No. 265 to Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-23 for the H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant, Unit No. 2 (Robinson). The amendment consists of changes to the technical specifications (TSs) in response to your application dated April 16, 2018 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML18117A006), as supplemented by letters dated September 25, 2018, November 13, 2018, and July 16, 2019 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML18269A009, ML18317A020, and ML19197A222, respectively).
The proposed amendment revises the Robinson TSs by relocating specific surveillance frequencies to a licensee-controlled program with the implementation of Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 04-10, Revision 1, "Risk-informed Technical Specification Initiative 5b, Risk-informed Method for Control of Surveillance Frequencies." Additionally, the change would add a new program, the Surveillance Frequency Control Program, to TS Section 5.0, "Administrative Controls." The changes are consistent with NRC-approved Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) Improved Standard Technical Specifications Change Traveler TSTF-425, Revision 3, "Relocate Surveillance Frequencies to Licensee Control-RITSTF
[Risk-informed TSTF] Initiative 5b" (ADAMS Accession No. ML090850642). The Federal Register Notice published on July 6, 2009 (72 FR 31996) announced the availability of this TS improvement.

Standard Technical Specifications (STSs) Change Traveler TSTF-425, Revision 3, "Relocate Surveillance Frequencies to Licensee Control-RITSTF [Risk-Informed TSTF]
Initiative 5b" (Reference 5) for Robinson. The Federal Register Notice published on July 6, 2009 (72 FR 31996) announced the availability of this TS improvement.
The supplemental letters dated November 13, 2018 and July 16, 2019, provided additional information that clarified the application, did not expand the scope of the application as originally noticed, and did not change the NRC staff's original proposed no significant hazards consideration determination as published in the Federal Register on October 23, 2018 (83 FR 53512).
2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
2.1 Description of the Proposed Changes The licensee proposed to modify the Robinson TSs by relocating specific surveillance frequencies to a licensee-controlled program (i.e., the Surveillance Frequency Control Program (SFCP)) in accordance with Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 04-10, Revision 1 (Reference 6).
The licensee stated that the proposed change is consistent with the adoption of NRG-approved TSTF-425, Revision 3. When implemented, TSTF-425 relocates most periodic frequencies of Enclosure 2
TS surveillances to the SFCP and provides requirements for the new program in the Administrative Controls section 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 lnservice Testing Program or the Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program;
- Frequencies that are purely 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 <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> after thermal power reaches .:: [greater than or equal to] 95% 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 surveillance requirement (e.g., "drywell to suppression chamber differential pressure decrease").
The licensee proposed to relocate specific surveillance frequencies from the following TS sections to the SFCP:
3.1 Reactivity Control Systems 3.2 Power Distribution Limits 3.3 Instrumentation 3.4 Reactor Coolant System (RCS) 3.5 Emergency Core Cooling Systems (ECCS) 3.6 Containment Systems
- 3. 7 Plant Systems 3.8 Electrical Power Systems 3.9 Refueling Operations The licensee proposed to add the SFCP to Robinson TS Section 5.0, "Administrative Controls,"
which will contain the existing specific surveillance frequencies from the current TSs for the affected specifications. The Federal Register notice published on July 6, 2009 (74 FR 31996),
which announced the availability of TSTF-425, Revision 3, states that the addition of the SFCP to the TSs provides the necessary administrative controls to require that surveillance frequencies relocated to the SFCP are conducted at a frequency 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 (LCOs) will be met. The Federal Register notice also specifies that changes to surveillance frequencies in the SFCP would be made using the methodology contained in NEI 04-10, Revision 1, including qualitative considerations, results of risk analyses, sensitivity studies and any bounding analyses, and recommended monitoring of structures, systems, and components (SSCs), and are required to be documented. The licensee specified that the proposed TS 5.5.18, "Surveillance Frequency Control Program," provides controls for surveillance frequencies. The program shall ensure that Surveillance Requirements (SRs) specified in the TSs are performed at intervals sufficient to assure that the associated LCOs are met as discussed in Section 3.2 of this safety evaluation (SE). The proposed change to the Administrative Controls section of the TSs, 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 a letter dated September 19, 2007 (Reference 7), the NRC staff approved the use of Topical Report (TR} NEI 04-10, Revision 1 as an acceptable methodology for referencing in licensing actions to the extent specified and under the limitations delineated in NEI 04-10, Revision 1.
The associated SE could also be referenced as providing the basis for NRC acceptance of NEI 04-10, Revision 1.
The licensee noted other changes and deviations from TSTF-425, which are discussed in Section 3.3 of this SE.
2.2 Applicable Commission Policy Statements In the "Final Policy Statement: Technical Specifications Improvements 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 Standard Technical Specifications. In this 1993 publication, the NRC states (at 39135), in part:
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 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Section 50.36] to be deleted from Technical Specifications based solely on PSA (Criterion 4). However, if the results of PSA indicate that Technical Specifications 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 [by the decisionmaker] 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 Technical Specifications, new requirements, and industry proposals for risk-based Technical Specification changes.
Approximately 2 years later the NRC provided additional detail concerning the use of PRA
[PSA] 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, in part:
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. 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 CFR 50.109 (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 backfitting new generic requirements on nuclear power plant licensees.
2.3 Applicable Regulations In 10 CFR 50.36, "Technical specifications," the NRC established its regulatory requirements related to the content of TSs. Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.36, TSs are required to include items in the following five specific categories related to station operation: (1) safety limits, limiting safety system settings, and limiting control settings; (2) LCOs; (3) SRs; (4) design features; and (5) administrative controls. These categories will remain in the Robinson TSs.
Section 50.36(c)(3) of 10 Cf:R states, "[s]urveillance 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."
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 proposed 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 SSCs for which surveillance frequencies are decreased to assure reduced testing does not adversely impact the SSCs.
2.4 Applicable NRC Regulatory Guides and Review Plans Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.174, Revision 3 "An Approach for Using Probabilistic Risk Assessment in Risk-informed Decisions on Plant-Specific Changes to the Licensing Basis," dated January 2018 (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 RG also provides risk acceptance guidelines for evaluating the results of such evaluations.
RG 1.177, Revision 1, "An Approach for Plant-Specific, Risk-informed Decision making:
Technical Specifications," dated May 2011 (Reference 9), describes an acceptable risk-informed approach specifically for assessing proposed TS changes.
RG 1.200, Revision 2, "An Approach for Determining the Technical Adequacy of Probabilistic Risk Assessment Results for Risk-informed Activities," dated March 2009 (Reference 10),
describes an acceptable approach for determining whether the quality of the 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).
NUREG-0800, "Standard Review Plan 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," dated June 2007 (Reference 11 ), provides general guidance for evaluating the technical basis for proposed risk-informed changes. Guidance on evaluating PRA technical adequacy is provided in NUREG-0800, 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," dated September 2012 (Reference 12). More specific guidance related to risk-informed TS changes is provided in NUREG-0800, Chapter 16, Section 16.1, Revision 1, "Risk-informed
Decision Making: Technical Specifications," dated March 2007 (Reference 13), which includes changes to surveillance test intervals (i.e., surveillance frequencies) as part of risk-informed decisionmaking. Section 19.2 of NUREG-0800 references the same criteria as RG 1.174, Revision 3, and RG 1.177, Revision 1, and states that a risk-informed application should be evaluated to ensure that the proposed changes meet the following key principles:
- The proposed change meets the current regulations, unless it is explicitly related 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
The licensee's adoption of TSTF-425, Revision 3, would provide for administrative relocation of applicable surveillance frequencies to the SFCP, and would provide for the addition of the SFCP to the Administrative Controls sections of TSs. The changes to the Administrative Controls section of the TSs will also require the application of NEI 04-10, Revision 1, for any changes to surveillance frequencies within the SFCP. The licensee's application for the changes described in TSTF-425, Revision 3, included documentation regarding the PRA technical adequacy consistent with the requirements of 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 1.174, Revision 3, and RG 1.177, Revision 1, in support of changes to surveillance test intervals.
3.1 Key Safety Principles RG 1.177, Revision 1, identifies five key safety principles required for risk-informed changes to TSs. Each of these principles is addressed by NEI 04-10, Revision 1. Sections 3.1.1 through 3.1.5 of this SE contain a discussion of the five principles, including the NRC staff's evaluation of how the licensee's license amendment request (LAR) satisfies each principle.
3.1.1 Key Principle 1: The Proposed Change Meets Current Regulations Section 50.36(c)(3) of 10 CFR requires that TSs include surveillances, which 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 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 NRG-approved methodologies identified in NEI 04-10, Revision 1, provide a way to establish risk-informed surveillance frequencies that complement the deterministic approach and supports the NRC's traditional defense-in-depth philosophy.
The SRs would remain in the TSs, as required by 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3). This change is analogous with 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 lnservice 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 LCOs will be met.
The regulatory requirements in 10 CFR 50.65 and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix 8, and the monitoring that would be required by NEI 04-10, Revision 1, will ensure that surveillance frequencies are sufficient to assure that the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3) are satisfied and that any performance deficiencies will be identified, and appropriate corrective actions taken. The licensee's proposed SFCP ensures that SRs specified in the TSs are performed at intervals sufficient to assure the above regulatory requirements are met. Based on the above, the NRC staff concludes that the proposed change meets the first key safety principle of RG 1.177, Revision 1, by complying with current regulations.
3.1.2 Key Principle 2: The Proposed Change Is Consistent with the Defense-in-depth Philosophy The defense-in-depth philosophy {i.e., the second key safety principle of RG 1.177, Revision 1) is maintained if:
- A reasonable balance is preserved among prevention of core damage, prevention of containment failure, and consequence mitigation.
- Over-reliance on programmatic activities to compensate for weaknesses in plant design is avoided.
- System redundancy, independence, and diversity are preserved commensurate with the expected frequency, consequences of challenges to the system, and uncertainties (e.g.,
no risk outliers). {Because the scope of the proposed methodology is limited to the revision of surveillance frequencies, the redundancy, independence, and diversity of plant systems are not impacted.)
- Defenses against potential common cause failures (CCFs) are preserved, and the potential for the introduction of new CCF mechanisms is assessed.
- Independence of barriers is not degraded.
- Defenses against human errors are preserved.
- The intent of the plant's design criteria is maintained.
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 CDF and the large early release frequency (LERF) metrics to evaluate the impact of proposed changes to surveillance frequencies. In accordance with RG 1. 174, Revision 3, and RG 1.177, Revision 1, changes to the CDF and the LERF are evaluated using a comprehensive risk analysis, which assesses the impact of proposed changes, including contributions from human errors and CCFs. This also included the NRC staff's evaluation of how the licensee addressed unmodeled human failure events (HFEs) for steam generator tube rupture (SGTR) accident sequences. 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. NRC staff determined that the licensee's use of multiple risk metrics of CDF and LERF and controlling their change resulting from the implementation of this initiative would maintain a balance between prevention of core damage, prevention of containment failure, and consequence mitigation. Redundancy, diversity and independence of safety systems were considered as part of the risk categorization to ensure that these qualities are not adversely affected. Independence of barriers and defense against CCFs were also considered. The improved understanding of the relative importance of plant components to risk resulting from the development of this program should promote an improved overall understanding of how the SSCs contribute to a plant's defense-in-depth. Based on this, the NRC staff concludes that both the quantitative risk analysis and the qualitative considerations provide reasonable assurance that defense-in-depth 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: The Proposed Change Maintains Sufficient Safety Margins The engineering evaluation that will be conducted by the licensee under the SFCP when 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 that the proposed surveillance test frequency change is not in conflict with approved industry codes and standards, ensuring that it does not adversely affect 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 plant licensing bases (including the Updated Final 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, therefore, the third key safety principle of RG 1.177, Revision 1, is satisfied.
3.1.4 Key Principle 4: Change in Risk is Consistent with the Safety Goal Policy Statement The guidance in RG 1.177, Revision 1, provides a framework for evaluating the risk impact of proposed changes to surveillance frequencies that requires identification of the risk contribution from impacted surveillances, determination of the risk impact from the change to the proposed surveillance frequency, and performance of sensitivity and uncertainty evaluations. The changes to the Administrative Controls section of the TSs will require application of NEI 04-10,
Revision 1, in the SFCP. NEI 04-10, Revision 1, satisfies the intent of RG 1.177, Revision 1, which provides guidance for evaluation of the change in risk, and for assuring that such changes are small by providing the technical methodology to support risk-informed TSs for control of surveillance frequencies.
3.1.4.1 Quality of the PRA The quality of the licensee's PRA must be commensurate with the safety significance of the proposed TS change and the role the PRA plays in justifying the change. That is, the greater the change in risk or the greater the uncertainty in that risk from the requested TS change, or both, the more rigor that must go into ensuring the quality of the PRA.
The PRA is used to determine each proposed surveillance frequency change's potential impact on risk, due to impacts from internal events, fires, seismic, other external events, and from shutdown conditions. Consideration is made of both CDF and LERF metrics. Where quantitative risk models are unavailable, bounding analyses or other conservative quantitative evaluations are performed. A qualitative screening analysis may be used when the surveillance frequency impact on plant risk can be shown to be negligible or zero. The NRC staff reviewed the licensee's peer review resolutions/dispositions to peer review facts and observations (F&Os) for the internal event PRA (IEPRA}, including internal flooding in the LAR. External hazards information was also reviewed. The objective of the PRA quality review is to determine whether the Robinson PRA model used to implement the SFCP is of sufficient scope, level of detail, and technical adequacy to support the adjustment of the surveillance test intervals.
RG 1.200, Revision 2, provides regulatory guidance for assessing the technical adequacy of a PRA. The current revision (i.e., Revision 2) of this RG endorses, with clarifications and qualifications, the use of the following:
- 1. American Society of Mechanical Engineers/American Nuclear Society (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" (hereafter, referred to as the ASME/ANS PRA Standard) (Reference 14);
- 2. NEI 00-02, "Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) Peer Review Process Guidance" (Reference 15); and
- 3. NEI 05-04, Revision 2, "Process for Performing Internal Events PRA Peer Reviews Using the ASME/ANS PRA Standard" (Reference 16).
The licensee performed an assessment of the PRA models used to support the SFCP using the guidance of RG 1.200, Revision 2, to ensure 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. Capability Category II of the NRG-endorsed PRA standard is the target capability level for supporting requirements for the internal events PRA for this application. Any identified deficiencies to those requirements are assessed further to determine any impacts to proposed decreases to surveillance frequencies, including the use of sensitivity studies where appropriate, in accordance with NEI 04-10, Revision 1.
In Attachment 2 to the LAR dated April 16, 2018 (Reference 1}, the licensee specified that a full-scope peer review of the internal events PRA was performed in May 2010, against RG 1.200, Revision 2. The internal flooding PRA (IFPRA) was peer reviewed in August 2015
against RG 1.200, Revision 2. A full-scope peer review of the fire PRA was performed in May 2013, against RG 1.200, Revision 2. The NRC staff reviewed the results for the peer review of the internal events and flooding PRAs and the associated facts and observations (F&O) closure review. These results were described in Attachment 2 to the LAR. The results were also supplemented by previous docketed information on PRA quality, submitted to the NRC in the integrated leak rate test interval license amendment dated November 19, 2015 (Reference 17), and the transition to adopt the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)-805 dated February 3, 2017 (Reference 18 ).
In the LAR, the licensee specified, that in August 2017, an F&O closure review was performed by an independent team on all internal events, internal flooding, and fire finding-level F&Os.
The F&O closure review was performed using the process documented in Appendix X (Reference 19) to the guidance provided in NEI 05-04 (Reference 16), NEI 07-12 (Reference 20), and NEI 12-13 (Reference 21), concerning the process to "Close Out of Facts and Observations." The NRC staff accepted a final version of Appendix X in the letter dated May 3, 2017 (Reference 22), which implements a methodology to close out F&Os.
Consequently, in Attachment 2 of the LAR, the licensee submitted all the F&Os from the peer reviews. For each F&O, the licensee provided a disposition for this application. The staff reviewed the licensee's resolution of all the peer review findings and assessed the potential impact of the findings on the implementation of TS 5.5.18 "Surveillance Frequency Control Program." The staff requested additional information in an e-mail dated October 12, 2018 (Reference 23), to clarify the licensee's disposition for some of the findings as described in the following paragraphs.
IEPRA F&O AS-AS, AS-83, LE-C4, and LE-05 specified that thermally-induced SGTR accident sequences were missing from the Robinson PRA. The NRC staff identified that unmodeled HFEs for SGTR accident sequences may impact the PRA results for the implementation of TS 5.5.18. "Surveillance Frequency Control Program." In the disposition to these F&Os, the licensee specified that a sensitivity study demonstrated that unmodeled HFEs to isolate a ruptured steam generator following a SGTR has a minimal impact on the PRA results and is, therefore, acceptable for the adoption of TSTF-425. However, the licensee made no mention of HFEs for thermally-induced SGTRs. In PRA Request for Additional Information (RAI) 01.a dated October 12, 2018, the staff requested confirmation regarding whether the licensee's sensitivity study also included the thermally-induced SGTR accident sequence. In response to PRA RAI 01.a by letter dated November 13, 2018 (Reference 3), the licensee states that thermally-induced SGTR accident sequences will only occur after core damage on a steam generator that is faulted (i.e., has a secondary steam leak). As a result, there is little or no opportunity for an operator to isolate the ruptured steam generator, so the HFEs for thermally-induced SGTR accident sequences were not included in the sensitivity study.
Implementation Item ii in the Attachment to the licensee's RAI response states, in part, that the licensee will include these HFEs in the Robinson PRA model prior to the adoption of TSTF-425.
If the licensee determines that the update is a PRA model upgrade, then a focused-scope peer review will be conducted, and any findings as a result will be resolved and closed per an NRG-approved process prior to the adoption of TSTF-425. The staff finds this resolution acceptable because the licensee will update its PRA model consistent with NRG-approved guidance prior to the adoption of TSTF-425.
IFPRA F&O IFEV-A7-1 specified that all human-induced events were screened as potential flood sources, however some may have been improperly screened. The licensee's disposition specified that these events were becoming less frequent. During the review of the LAR, the NRC staff identified that there have been two Information Notices (IN) IN 2007-01
(Reference 24) and IN 2016-11 (Reference 25), related to observed events at nuclear plants regarding maintenance-induced floods. Therefore, in PRA RAI 01.b, the staff requested the industry-approved screening justification to exclude maintenance-induced floods from the PRA model. In response to PRA RAI 02.d, the licensee specified that it will review the industry flooding data, and any maintenance-induced flooding events that are not screened out at Robinson will be added to the updated Robinson PRA model. Implementation Item i, in the Attachment of the licensee's RAI responses states, in part, that the licensee will update the Robinson IFPRA model to account for maintenance-induced flooding events using industry-accepted methodology. If the licensee determines that the update is a PRA model upgrade, then a focused-scope peer review will be conducted and any findings, as a result, will be resolved and closed, per an NRG-approved process, prior to the implementation of TSTF-425. The staff finds this resolution acceptable because the licensee will update its PRA model consistent with NRG-approved guidance prior to the implementation of TSTF-425.
IFPRA F&O IFSN-A8-1 specified that the assumed door heights at which the door fails when constraining water may not be appropriate. The licensee's disposition concludes that the majority of components will fail at or around 1 foot (ft) to 3 ft and will have minimal impact on the implementation of TS 5.5.18 "Surveillance Frequency Control Program." The NRC staff noted that the licensee's disposition does not discuss whether this assumption is a bounding assessment for this application. In PRA RAI 01.c, the staff requested justification, through a sensitivity study, that the assumed door failure heights would not impact the relocation of surveillance frequencies. In response to PRA RAI 01.c, the licensee specified that the door failure height was taken from Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Internal Flood Guidelines (EPRI TR-1019194) in lieu of a plant specific value. The licensee also specified that the difference between the generic EPRI door failure height and the door specific failure height at Robinson would be very small since the doors at Robinson are typical of nuclear power plant doors. Therefore, the licensee concluded that the generic door failure height is appropriate because small differences, if any, between the generic EPRI door failure height and the door specific failure height at Robinson would lead to a negligible difference in the calculated operator isolation failure probability. The staff finds that the generic door failure height used by the licensee is acceptable because it does not have a significant impact on the time available for operators to isolate the flood source prior to the door failing, and therefore, has a minimal impact on the isolation failure probability. The staff finds that the generic door height used by the licensee does not have a significant impact on internal flooding analysis for the implementation of TS 5.5.18 "Surveillance Frequency Control Program."
IFPRA F&O IFSN-A8-2 specified that flood propagation through door gaps was not included in the analysis. In the disposition, the licensee states that one scenario was identified where the additional flood path would affect additional equipment. However, the scenario was not reevaluated since the additional time for water accumulation is considered to be beneficial by increasing the likelihood of the operator(s) successfully isolating the flood source. The NRC staff noted that the exclusion of impacted SSCs from scenarios would decrease the SSCs contribution to risk and therefore, impact its risk importance values. In PRA RAI 01.d, the staff requested justification that the exclusion of the additional equipment impacts does not impact the implementation of TS 5.5.18 "Surveillance Frequency Control Program." In response to PRA RAI 01.d, the licensee specified that the only flood area of importance with significant door gaps is a large open area that would not allow for water to accumulate. As a result, this would preclude the accumulation of water and the development of a large hydrostatic head. The staff finds the licensee's treatment of flood propagation through door gaps to be acceptable for this application because the flood area of importance in the Robinson PRA is a large open area that
precludes the accumulation of water and it would not impact SSCs applicable to the relocation of surveillance frequencies.
In the Robinson LAR to implement 10 CFR 50.69 dated April 5, 2018 (Reference 26), the licensee specified that the current method of crediting incipient detection is similar to the guidance in NUREG-2180, "Determining the Effectiveness, Limitations, and Operator Response for Very Early Warning Fire Detection Systems in Nuclear Facilities" (Reference 27). The NRC staff notified the industry, by letter dated July 1, 2016 (Reference 28), of the retirement of an earlier method, Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) 08-0046, and to evaluate the impact of this change to the licensee's PRA. It is unclear to the staff what differences exist between the guidance in NUREG-2180 and the licensee's approach. In PRA RAI 03 (Reference 23), the staff requested for the licensee to justify, if FAQ 08-0046 was used for incipient detection, and why its use has no impact on the implementation of TS 5.5.18 "Surveillance Frequency Control Program." In response to RAI 03 (Reference 3), the licensee provided more clarification regarding the information provided in the LAR on incipient detection and specified that the methodology used for crediting incipient detection at Robinson is in accordance with NUREG-2180. The staff finds the licensee's methodology for crediting incipient detection acceptable because the licensee used NRG-approved guidance instead of the retired guidance in FAQ 08-0046.
RG 1.200, Revision 2, provides guidance for determining the technical adequacy of the PRA by comparing the PRA to the relevant parts of the AS ME/ANS PRA Standard using a peer review process. The NRC staff has reviewed the peer review results and the licensee's resolution of the results and finds that the quality and level of detail of the PRA is sufficient to support the implementation of TS 5.5.18 "Surveillance Frequency Control Program." The staff finds that the licensee has followed the guidance and submitted the results of the peer review, which has met the requirement of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3). Therefore, the staff concludes that the level of PRA quality is sufficient to support implementation of TS 5.5.18 "Surveillance Frequency Control Program" and is consistent with Regulatory Position 2.3.1, "Technical Adequacy of the PRA," of RG 1.177, Revision 1.
3.1.4.2 Scope of the PRA The proposed changes to the Administrative Controls section of the TSs would require the licensee to evaluate each proposed change to a relocated surveillance frequency using NEI 04-10, Revision 1, to determine its potential impact on CDF and LERF risk from internal events, fires, seismic, other external events, and shutdown conditions.
The licensee has at-power internal events and internal flooding PRA models, as well as an at-power fire PRA model to support the adoption of NFPA-805. In accordance with NEI 04-10, Revision 1, the licensee will use these models to perform quantitative evaluations to support the development of changes to surveillance frequencies in the SFCP. The NRC staff finds this approach acceptable because the NRC-approved methodology in NEI 04-10, Revision 1, allows for more refined analysis to be performed to support changes to surveillance frequencies in the SFCP.
In Attachment 2 to the LAR, the licensee stated that in cases where a PRA of sufficient scope or quantitative risk models were unavailable, it 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 negligible or zero. Currently, the licensee does not have a high winds, external flooding, or seismic PRA model that has been evaluated against
the ASME/ANS PRA Standard, as clarified by RG 1.200, Revision 2. The licensee provided the process for screening external events hazards, and the methodology is consistent with the guidance in NEI 04-10, Revision 1.
In Attachment 2 to the LAR, the licensee stated that low power and shutdown risk will be assessed under a shutdown risk management program. This program provides guidelines for outage risk management to maintain defense-in-depth and to control key safety functions. The program will also allow for qualitative and bounding analyses to provide justification for the acceptability of proposed surveillance frequency changes. The licensee will use the shutdown risk management program to assess shutdown risk for proposed surveillance frequency changes in accordance with the guidance in NEI 04-10, Revision 1.
The NRC staff concludes that by application of NEI 04-10, Revision 1, the licensee's evaluation methodology is sufficient to ensure the scope of the risk contribution of each surveillance frequency change is properly identified for evaluation, and is consistent with Regulatory Position 2.3.2, "Scope of the Probabilistic Risk Assessment for Technical Specification Change Evaluations," of RG 1.177, Revision 1.
3.1.4.3 PRA Modeling The licensee's methodology includes the determination of whether the SSCs affected by a proposed change to a surveillance frequency are modeled in the PRA. Where the SSC is directly or implicitly modeled, a quantitative evaluation of the risk impact may be performed.
The methodology adjusts the failure probability of the impacted SSCs, including any impacted CCF modes based on the proposed change to the surveillance frequency. Where the SSC is not modeled in the PRA, bounding analyses are performed to characterize the impact of the proposed change to the surveillance frequency. Potential impacts on the risk analyses due to screening criteria and truncation levels are addressed by the requirements for PRA technical adequacy consistent with guidance contained in RG 1.200, Revision 2, and by sensitivity studies identified in NEI 04-10, Revision 1.
NRC Memorandum, "Assessment of The Nuclear Energy Institute 16-06, 'Crediting Mitigating Strategies in Risk-informed Decision Making,' Guidance for Risk-informed Changes to Plants Licensing Basis," dated May 30, 2017 (Reference 29), provides the NRC staff's assessment of challenges to incorporating FLEX equipment and strategies into a PRA model in support of risk-informed decisionmaking in accordance with the guidance of RG 1.200. The LAR did not specify whether the licensee has incorporated FLEX mitigating strategies and associated equipment into the PRA models at Robinson. In PRA RAI 04, the staff requested further information and clarification on whether the licensee has incorporated FLEX mitigating strategies and associated equipment into the PRA models at Robinson. In response to PRA RAI 04, the licensee specified that FLEX mitigating strategies and associated equipment have not been incorporated into the current Robinson PRA models. The NRC staff finds that the staff's assessment in NEI 16-06 is not applicable to Robinson Unit 2. Therefore, the staff concludes that through the application of NEI 04-10, Revision 1, the PRA modeling is sufficient to ensure an acceptable evaluation of risk for the proposed changes in surveillance frequency, and is consistent with Regulatory Position 2.3.3, "Probabilistic Risk Assessment Modeling," of RG 1.177, Revision 1.
3.1.4.4 Assumptions for Time Related Failure Contributions The failure probabilities of SSCs modeled in PRAs may include a standby time-related contribution and a cyclic demand-related contribution. The NEI 04-10, Revision 1, criteria adjust the time-related failure contribution of SSCs affected by the proposed change to a surveillance frequency. This is consistent with the guidance in RG 1.177, Revision 1, Section 2.3.3, which permits separation of the failure rate contributions into demand and standby for evaluation of SRs. If the available data do not support distinguishing between the time-related failures and demand failures, then the change to surveillance frequency is conservatively assumed to impact the total failure probability of the SSC, including both standby and demand contributions. 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 concludes that the licensee applied NEI 04-10, Revision 1, to employ reasonable assumptions with regards to extensions of surveillance test intervals, and the requested changes are consistent with Regulatory Position 2.3.4, "Assumptions in Completion Time and Surveillance Frequency Evaluations," of RG 1. 177, Revision 1.
3.1.4.5 Sensitivity and Uncertainty Analysis The proposed amended TSs would require that changes to the frequencies listed in the SFCP be made in accordance with NEI 04-10, Revision 1. Therefore, 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 Capability Category II of the ASME/ANS PRA Standard.
In Attachment 2 to the LAR (Reference 1), the licensee provided the list of key assumptions and sources of modeling uncertainty that were reviewed for the internal events, internal flooding, and fire PRAs. This table includes disposition for the assumptions and modeling uncertainties. The NRC staff noted that the industry guidance for identifying assumptions and model uncertainties identifies 71 possible sources of uncertainty. Therefore, in PRA RAI 02 (Reference 23), the staff requested clarification regarding the process used and additional details that specify the exact source of uncertainty and assumption. In response to PRA RAI 02 (Reference 3), the licensee provided the details of the process that was used to identify the key sources of uncertainty and key assumptions for the implementation of TS 5.5.18 "Surveillance Frequency Control Program." The staff finds that the methodology provided by the licensee in its RAI response is in accordance with the relevant NRC-accepted guidance found in NUREG-1855, Revision 1, "Guidelines on the Treatment of Uncertainties Associated with PRAs in Risk-informed Decision Making," (Reference 30) and EPRI TR-1016737, "Treatment of Parameter and Modeling Uncertainty for Probabilistic Risk Assessments" (Reference 31 ).
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 frequencies are implemented.
The NRC staff finds that the licensee searched for, identified, and evaluated sources of uncertainty in its fire PRA consistent with the relevant guidance in NUREG-1855, Revision 1, and EPRI TR-1016737. Therefore, the staff concludes that through the application of NEI 04-10, Revision 1, the licensee appropriately considered the possible impact of PRA model uncertainty and sensitivity to key assumptions and model limitations, and that the LAR is consistent with Regulatory Position 2.3.5, "Sensitivity and Uncertainty Analyses Relating to Assumptions in Technical Specification Change Evaluations," of RG 1.177, Revision 1.
3.1.4.6 Acceptance Guidelines In accordance with NEI 04-10, Revision 1, as required by proposed TS 5.5.18, 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. Each individual change to a surveillance frequency must show a risk impact below 1x1Q-6 per year for change to CDF, and below 1x10-7 per year for change to LERF.
These changes to CDF and LERF are consistent with the acceptance criteria in RG 1.174, Revision 3, for very small changes in risk. Where the RG 1.174, 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 1.174, 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 zero. Otherwise, bounding quantitative analyses are required to demonstrate that the risk impact is at least one order of magnitude lower than the RG 1.174, Revision 3, acceptance guidelines for very small changes in risk. In addition, in assessing each individual SSC surveillance frequency change, the cumulative impact of all changes must result in a risk impact of less than 1x10-5 per year for change to CDF, and less than 1x10-6 per year for change to LERF. The total CDF and LERF must be reasonably shown to be less than 1x104 per year and 1x10-5 per year, respectively. These values are consistent with the acceptance criteria of RG 1.174, Revision 3, as referenced by RG 1.177, Revision 1, for changes to surveillance frequencies.
Consistent with the NRC staff's SE, dated September 19, 2007, for NEI 04-10, Revision 1 (Reference 7), 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 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 5x1 o-a CDF and 5x10-9 LERF) once the baseline PRA models are updated to include the effects of the revised surveillance frequencies.
The quantitative acceptance guidance of RG 1.174, 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 these considerations and not solely on the PRA results.
Post-implementation performance monitoring and feedback are also required to ensure continued reliability of the components. The licensee's application of 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, "Acceptance Guidelines for Technical Specifications Changes," 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, consistent with the intent of the Commission's Safety Goal Policy Statement.
3.1.5 Key Principle 5: Performance Monitoring Strategies 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 for performance monitoring of SSCs whose surveillance frequencies have been revised as part of a feedback process to ensure that the change in test frequency has not resulted in degradation of equipment performance and operational safety. The monitoring and feedback includes consideration of Maintenance Rule monitoring of equipment performance. In the event of SSC performance degradation, the surveillance frequency will be reassessed in accordance with the methodology, and any corrective actions that may be required by the Maintenance Rule will be applied. The performance monitoring and feedback specified in NEI 04-10, Revision 1, is sufficient to reasonably assure acceptable SSC performance, and is consistent with Regulatory Position 3.2, "Maintenance Rule Control," of RG 1.177, Revision 1. Thus, the NRC staff concludes that the fifth key safety principle of RG 1.177, Revision 1 is satisfied.
3.2 Addition of Surveillance Frequency Control Program to Administrative Controls The licensee proposed including the SFCP and specific requirements into Robinson TS 5.5.18, as follows:
Surveillance Frequency Control Program This program provides controls for Surveillance Frequencies. The program shall ensure that Surveillance Requirements specified in the Technical 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.
Based on its review in SE Section 3.1, above, the NRC staff finds that the proposed program is consistent with the model application of TSTF-425. Furthermore, the addition of TS 5.5.18 will ensure that surveillance frequencies are properly identified, are changed in accordance with an NRG-approved methodology and are performed to ensure LCOs are met. This will ensure the language in the SFCP remains consistent with 10 CFR 50.36(c)(5), in that the licensee's organization and management, procedures, recordkeeping, review and audit, and reporting necessary to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner, is maintained. Therefore, proposed TS 5.5.18 is acceptable.
3.3 Deviations from TSTF-425 and Other Changes In Section 2.2 of the LAR, the licensee specified that the proposed amendment is consistent with the Standard Technical Specifications changes described in TSTF-425, Revision 3.
Additionally, in Section 2.2, the licensee proposes variations or deviations from TSTF-425.
These variations or deviations are discussed below. of the LAR provides a cross-reference between TSTF-425 (NUREG-1431, "Standard Technical Specifications, Westinghouse Plants, Revision 4.0, Volume 1, Specifications (Reference 32)) Surveillances and the Robinson Surveillances included in this amendment request. Attachment 5 also includes a summary description of the referenced TSTF-425 TS Surveillances, which is provided for information purposes only and is not intended to be a verbatim description of the TS Surveillances. The cross-reference in Attachment 5 of the LAR highlights the following:
- The Surveillances included in TSTF-425 and corresponding Robinson Surveillances have differing Surveillance numbers.
- The Surveillances included in TSTF-425 that are not contained in the Robinson TS.
- The Robinson plant-specific Surveillances that are not contained in TSTF-425 Surveillances and, therefore, are not included in the TSTF-425 markups.
There are Surveillances contained in TSTF-425 that are not contained in the Robinson TSs.
Therefore, the NUREG-1431 markups included in TSTF-425 for these surveillances are not applicable to Robinson. The licensee specified, in the LAR, that this is considered to be an appropriate change from TSTF-425 with no impact on the NRC staff's model SE, dated July 6, 2009 (74 FR 31996).
Robinson TSs include plant-specific Surveillances that are not contained in NUREG-1431 and, therefore, are not included in the NUREG-1431 markups provided in TSTF-425. The licensee has determined that the implementation of TS 5.5.18 "Surveillance Frequency Control Program" is consistent with TSTF-425, Revision 3 and with the NRC staffs model SE, dated July 6, 2009 (7 4 FR 31996), including the scope exclusions identified in Section 1.0, "Introduction," of the model SE.
3.4 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, by the proposed addition of TS 5.5.18 to the Administrative Controls section of the TSs. This amendment does not relocate
surveillance frequencies that reference other approved programs for the specific interval, are purely event-driven or 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, described in TS 5.5.18 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 NEI 04-10, Revision 1, which is specified in the Administrative Controls section of the TSs.
The licensee's proposed adoption of NRC-approved TSTF-425, Revision 3 and risk-informed methodology of NEI 04-10, Revision 1, as referenced in the Administrative Controls section of TSs, satisfies the key principles of risk-informed decisionmaking applied to changes to TSs, as delineated in RG 1.174 and RG 1.177, 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.
- The impact of the proposed change is monitored with performance measurement strategies.
Based on the above evaluation, the NRC staff concludes 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 10 CFR 50.36 because the SFCP provides the necessary administrative controls to require that Surveillances related to testing, calibration, and inspection are conducted at a frequency to assure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the LCOs will be met. Changes to Frequencies in the SFCP would be evaluated using the methodology and probabilistic risk guidelines contained in NEI 04-10, Revision 1, as approved by NRC letter, dated September 19, 2007.
4.0 STATE CONSULTATION
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the State of South Carolina official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendment on June 11, 2019. The State official expressed no comments.
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
The amendment changes surveillance requirements. The NRC staff has determined that there is no significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts 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 published in the Federal Register on October 23, 2018 (83 FR 53512), and there has been no public comment on such finding. 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.
