NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION 2

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20666-0001 g...../

s, UNION ELECTRIC COMPANY CALLAWAY PLANT. UNIT 1 DOCKET NO. 50-483 AMENDMENT TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE Amendment No. 98 License No. NPF-30 1.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has found that:

A.

The application for amendment filed by Union Electric Company (UE, the licensee) dated December 9, 1994, as supplemented on January 27, 1995, complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Commission's rules and regulations set forth in 10 CFR Chapter I; B.

The facility will operate in conformity with the application, the provisions of the Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission; C.

There is reasonable assurance (i) that the activities authorized by this amendment can be conducted without endangering the health and safety of the public, and (ii) that such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations; D.

The issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public; and E.

The issuance of this amendment is in accordance with 10 CFR Part 51 of the Commission's regulations and all applicable requirements have been satisfied.

2.

Accordingly, the license is amended by changes to the Technical Specifica-tions as indicated in the attachment to this license amendment, and paragraph 2.C.(2) of Facility Operating License No. NPF-30 is hereby amended to read as follows:

3/4.6 CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS

. BASES 3/4.6.1 PRIMARY CONTAINMENT 3/4.6.1.1 CONTAINMENT INTEGRITY

' Primary CONTAINMENT INTEGRITY ensures that the release of radioactive materials from the containment atmosphere will be restricted to those leakage paths and associated leak rates assumed in the safety analyses.

This restriction, in conjunction with the leakage rate limitation, will limit the SITE B0UNDARY radiation doses to within the dose guideline values of 10 CFR Part 100 during accident conditions.

3/4.6.1.2 CONTAINMENT LEAKAGE The limitations on containment leakage rates ensure that the total containment leakage volume will not exceed the value assumed in the accident analyses at the peak accident pressure, P. As an added conservatism, the measured overall integrated leakage rate,is further limited to less than or equal to 0.75 L, during performance of the periodic test to account for possible degradation of the containment leakage barriers between leakage tests.

The surveillance testing for measuring leakage rates are consistent with the requirements of Appendix J of 10 CFR Part 50.*

The following exemptions have been granted to the requirements of Appendix J of 10 CFR Part 50:

1.

Section III.A.l(a) - an exemption to the requirement to stop the Type A test if excessive leakage is determined.

This exemption allows the satisfactory completion of the Type A test if the leakage can be isolated and appropriately factored into the results.

2.

Section III. A.5(b) - an exemption for the acceptance criteria, in lieu of the present single criterion of the total measured containment leakage rate being less than 0.75 of the maximum allowable leakage rate, L, the "as found" allowable leakage rate will be L, and the "as left" allowable leakage rate will be less than 0.75 L,.

3,Section III.D.l(a) - an exemption that removes the requirement that the third test of each set of three Type A tests be conducted when the plant is shutdown for the 10-year plant inservice inspection.

j A one-time extension of the test interval is allowed for the thiro Type A test of the first 10-year service period, as required by Surveillance Requirement 4.6.1.2.a and by Section III.D.I.(a) of Appendix J to 10 CFR Part 50, provided unit shutdown occurs no later than October 31, 1996 and performance of the Type A test occurs prior to unit restart following Refuel 8.

CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS (Continued)

.a.

Three Type A tests (Overall Integrated Containment-Leakage Rate) shall be conducted at 40 i 10 month intervals

  • during shutdown at a pressure not less than P,, 48.1 psig, during each 10-year service period.

b.

If any periodic as found Type A test fails to meet L the test schedule for subsequent Type A tests shall be review.,d and approved by e

the Commission.

If two consecutive as found Type A tests fail to meet-L, a Type A test shall be performed at least every 18 months until two consecutive as found Type A tests meet L,, at which time the above test i

schedule may be resumed. The as left overall integrated containment leakage rate shall be less than 0.75 L,;

6 1

A one-time extension of the test interval is allowed for the third Type A test of the first 10-year service period, provided unit shutdown occurs no later than October 31, 1996 and performance of the Type A test occurs prior to unit restart following Refuel 8.
