Participants filing adjudicatory documents in this manner are responsible for serving the document on all other participants. Filing is considered complete by first-class mail as of the time of deposit in the mail, or by courier, express mail, or expedited delivery service upon depositing the document with the provider of the service. A presiding officer, having granted an exemption request from using E-Filing, may require a participant or party to use E-Filing if the presiding officer subsequently determines that the reason for granting the exemption from use of E-Filing no longer exists.
Documents submitted in adjudicatory proceedings will appear in the NRCs electronic hearing docket which is available to the public at https://
adams.nrc.gov/ehd, unless excluded pursuant to an order of the Commission or the presiding officer. If you do not have an NRC-issued digital ID certificate as described above, click cancel when the link requests certificates and you will be automatically directed to the NRCs electronic hearing dockets where you will be able to access any publicly-available documents in a particular hearing docket. Participants are requested not to include personal privacy information, such as social security numbers, home addresses, or personal phone numbers in their filings, unless an NRC regulation or other law requires submission of such information. For example, in some instances, individuals provide home addresses in order to demonstrate proximity to a facility or site. With respect to copyrighted works, except for limited excerpts that serve the purpose of the adjudicatory filings and would constitute a Fair Use application, participants are requested not to include copyrighted materials in their submission.

Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC, Docket Nos. 50-369 and 50-370, McGuire Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina Date of amendment request: February 5, 2019. A publicly-available version is in ADAMS under Accession No. ML19042A117.
Description of amendment request:
The amendments would modify Technical Specification (TS) 3.5.2, ECCS [Emergency Core Cooling System]Operating; TS 3.6.6, Containment Spray System; TS 3.7.5, Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) System; TS 3.7.6, Component Cooling Water (CCW) System; TS 3.7.7, Nuclear Service Water System (NSWS); TS 3.7.9, Control Room Area Ventilation System (CRAVS); TS 3.7.11, Auxiliary Building Filtered Ventilation Exhaust System (ABFVES); TS 3.8.1, AC
[Alternate Current] Sources Operating; and TS 3.8.4, DC [Direct Current] SourcesOperating, to remove expired TS footnotes.
Additionally, the amendments would fix an editorial error in Section 3.0, SR
[Surveillance Requirement]
APPLICABILITY, specifically, SR 3.0.5.
Basis for proposed no significant hazards consideration determination:
As required by 10 CFR 50.91(a), the licensee has provided its analysis of the issue of no significant hazards consideration, which is presented below:
- 1. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
Response: No.
This LAR [license amendment request]
proposes administrative non-technical changes only. These proposed changes do not adversely affect accident initiators or precursors nor alter the design assumptions, conditions, or configurations of the facility.
The proposed changes do not alter or prevent the ability of structures, systems, and components (SSCs) to perform their intended function to mitigate the consequences of an initiating event within the assumed limits.
Given the above discussion, it is concluded the proposed amendment does not significantly increase the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
- 2. Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?
Response: No.
This LAR proposes administrative non-technical changes only. The proposed changes will not alter the design requirements of any Structure, System or Component (SSC) or its function during accident conditions. No new or different accidents result from the proposed changes.
The changes do not involve a physical alteration of the plant or any changes in methods governing normal plant operation.
The changes do not alter assumptions made in the safety analysis.
Given the above discussion, it is concluded the proposed amendment does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.
- 3. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety?
Response: No.
This LAR proposes administrative non-technical changes only. The proposed changes do not alter the manner in which safety limits, limiting safety systems settings or limiting conditions for operation are determined. The safety analysis acceptance criteria are not affected by these changes. The proposed changes will not result in plant operation in a configuration outside the design basis. The proposed changes do not adversely affect systems that respond to safety shutdown the plant and to maintain the plant in a safe shutdown condition.
Given the above discussion, it is concluded the proposed amendment does not involve a significant reduction in the safety margin.
The NRC staff has reviewed the licensees analysis and, based on this review, it appears that the three standards of 10 CFR 50.92(c) are satisfied. Therefore, the NRC staff proposes to determine that the amendment request involves no significant hazards consideration.
