SUBJECT:
- 1. PCOL-93/15: Modification of Spent Fuel Pool Storage Capacity Limit -
- 2. Affected Technical Specifications:
- a. Spent Fuel Pool Storage Capacity, 5.6.3.a, Page 5-6. '
r
- b. Footnote, Page 5-6.
B. DISCUSSION:
- 1. Amendment 17 to the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station (GGNS) Operating License approved the replacement of the existing spent fuel pool ,
storage racks with high density spent fuel
~
storage racks. Use of these high density racks.
significantly increased the storage capacity of i the containment and spent fuel storage pools.
The added decay heat load from the. increase in fuel storage capacity raised questions about the capability of the fuel pool cooling and cleanup (FPCC) system to handle the extra heat load without excessive reliance on the residual heat '
removal (RHR) system for fuel pool cooling assist. ;
- 2. In order to resolve concerns about adequate heat removal, Entergy Operations committed to propose ,
an engineering solution for adequate heat removal by the third refueling outage (RF03) and i further committed to implement this solution prior to restart from refueling outage five :
(RF05). Notification of fulfillment of these commitments was provided in two Entergy; Operations-letters dated June 05, 1986 and ;
November 08, 1991 respectively.
l
- 3. Following several correspondences between the' [
NRC staff and Entergy Operations, the proposed !
solution was approved pending verification of specified flow rates (Safety Evaluation Report dated July 30, 1992). The flow rates in question-were verified by test conducted during the sixth refueling outage and results of those test submitted in an Entergy Operations letter i dated November 08, 1993. '

C. JUSTIFICATION:
The fuel pool cooling and cleanup system (FPCC) is designed to remove decay heat generated by the spent
- fuel assemblies and maintain the spent fuel pool ,
temperature below 140 F during. normal operation
without excessive reliance on RHR for fuel pool cooling assist. The FPCC is also designed to -
maintain adequate water level in the spent fuel pool to provide proper radiological shielding. The design of FPCC is such that no single active failure of equipment will cause an inability to (1)~ maintain i irradiated fuel submerged in water; or (2) reestablish normal fuel pool level; (3) or remove !
decay heat from the pool. As outlined below, removal of the 2324 spent fuel assembly storage limit would not compromise the design basis of the FPCC.
Approval to install the high density spent fuel storage racks was provided in the SER contained in a ,
NRC letter dated August 18, 1986. The high density racks increased spent pool storage capability from ,
1270 assemblies to 4348 assemblies. The only !
remaining NRC question concerning licensing of the 4348 spaces was the ability of the fuel ~ pool cooling system to handle the decay-heat generated by a full ,
fuel pool.
The outstanding question of the adequacy of decay :
heat removal cap city of the FPCC was addressed in an ;
Entergy letter dated November 01, 1991, when Entergy ;
proposed its final solution to the decay heat removal .
question; that being the one pump,.two heat exchange
- mode of operation of the FPCC. An NRC letter dated July 30, 1992 approved Entergy's proposed solutirn j pending submittal of test results to verify that the 'i flow rates required for the solution were practical- i and feasible.. Outstanding questions were brought to final resolution by the Entergy letter dated November :
08, 1993, which submitted the test results that !
verified Entergy's solution to the heat removal question to be both practical and valid.
The November 01, 1991 letter also provided information to the effect that no single active :
failure would prohibit the FPCC from performing its !
design functions. >

Page 3 of 5 Based on the above justification, all outstanding questions concerning the adequacy of the decay-heat .
t removal capability of the fuel pool cooling system have been resolved. Therefore the 2324 spent fuel assembly limit should be removed and full use of the 4348 spent fuel assembly storage spaces'should be l allowed.
D. NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION:
The FPCC is designed to remove decay heat generated by the spent fuel assemblies and maintain the spent :
fuel pool temperature below 140 F during normal operation without excessive reliance on the residual heat removal (RHR) system for fuel pool cooling
- assist. The FPCC is also designed to maintain adequate water level in the spent fuel pool to provide proper radiological shielding. The design of FPCC is such that no single active failure of equipment will cause an inability to (1) maintain -
irradiated fuel submerged in water; or (2) reestablish normal fuel pool level; (3) or remove decay heat from the pool. As outlined below, removal of the 2324 spent fuel assembly storage limit would i not compromise the design basis of the FPCC.
The Commission has provided standards for determining >
whether a no significant hazards consideration exists as stated in 10CFR50.92 (c) . A proposed amendment to an operating license involves no significant hazards if operation of the facility in accordance with the !
proposed amendment would not: (1) involve a .
significant increase in the probability of an accident previously evaluated; (2) create the '
possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated; (3) involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
Entergy Operations has evaluated the no significant hazards consideration in its request for a license amendment. In accordance with 10CFR50.91(a), Entergy ;
Operations is providing the following analysis of the ;
proposed amendment against the three standards in 10CFR50.92: ,
b G9312081 t
1 Attachment 2'to GNRO-94/00012 !
Page-4lof 5' g
- 1. No significant increase in the. probability or :
consequences of an accident previously evaluated ,
results from this change.
The NRC approved the installation of high density spent fuel storage racks in' Amendment 17 to the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station (GGNS)- i
. Operating License. This amendment also brought ?
GGNS into compliance with Standard. Review Plan criteria which required maintaining the spent fuel pool at- less than or. equal:140 F. The '
140 F Technical Specifications (TS)-limit i remains in'effect thereby preventing operation at excessive temperatures.
The only outstanding question from Amendment 17,
- which resulted in a 2324 assembly technical specification limit, was whether the' fuel' pool j cooling system could handle the heat load of a full fuel pool without excessive reliance on 6 residual heat removal for extensive fuel pool-cooling assist. Entergy Operations' proposed- t solution to this question was accepted in the NRC's letter dated July 30, 1992.. -The NRC accepted the solution pending submittal of results from tests to verify the specified' -
flows. These results were submitted in a letter-dated November 08, 1993.
With previous approval of the installation of >
the high density spent fuel storage. racks, the. ,
confirmation:of adequate heat' removal j capability, and the .140*F TS temperature" limit, l' rdnc'al of the 2324 limit _to~ allow' full use of-the rpent fuel pool would not cause an increase- 1 in tue probability or consequences'of an ,
,ccident previously evaluated. l
- 2. 'This change would not createfthe possibility of. '
a new or different kind of accident from any -j previously evaluated. :
The additional heat load generated by a full spent fuel pool (4348 assemblies) was evaluated.
The evaluation concluded that full use of the spent fuel pool storage spaces would not' exceed the temperature-limits as are currently in place. I with the 2324 limit. The NRC letter dated July 30, 1992 and Entergy Operations letter dated.
1 G9312081 l
i Attachment 2 to G14RO-94/00012 Page 5 of 5 i
November 08, 1993 resolved all outstanding heat removal questions. Therefore, this change would not create the possibility of a new or different ,
kind of accident from any previously analyzed.
- 3. This change would not involve'a significant reduction in a margin of safety. '
Entergy Operations demonstrated in their November 01, 1991 letter that the fuel pool temperature could be maintained at or.below 140 F as specified in TS 3/4.7.9. This_ letter -
also demonstrated the ability to handle single ;
active failures. Approval of measures outlined in this letter was provided in a Safety Evaluation Report contained in an~NRC letter dated July 30, 1992.
Given the 140 F maximum temperature requirement as contained in TS 3/4.7.9 and compliance with single active failure criteria, this change would not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety. !
Based on the above evaluation in accordance with 10CFR50.92(c), Entergy Operations, Inc. has concluded ,
that operation in accordance with the proposed amendment involves no significant hazards ,
considerations. .
