Subject:
License Amendment Request - Proposed Changes to Technical Specifications Sections 1.1, "Definitions," and 5.0, "Administrative Controls," for Permanently Defueled Condition
References:
- 1. Letter from J. Bradley Fewell (Exelon Generation Company, LLC) to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, "Certification of Permanent Cessation of Power Operations for Byron Station, Units 1 and 2," dated September 2, 2020 (NRC Accession No. ML20246G613)
- 2. Letter from Patrick R. Simpson (Exelon Generation Company, LLC) to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, "Request for Approval of Certified Fuel Handler Training and Retraining Program," for Byron Station, Units 1 and 2, and Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 1, 2 and 3, dated September 24, 2020 In accordance with 10 CFR 50.90, "Application for amendment of license, construction permit, or early site permit," Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) requests amendments to the Technical Specifications (TS) of Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-37 and NPF-66 for Byron Station, Units 1 and 2 (Byron).
On August 27, 2020, Exelon announced that it plans to close Byron due to severe economic challenges. By letter dated September 2, 2020 (Reference 1), Exelon provided formal notification to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) pursuant to 10 CFR 50.4(b)(8) and 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)(i) that it would permanently cease operations at Byron on or before September 30, 2021.
Once the certifications for permanent cessation of operations and permanent removal of fuel from the reactor vessels are submitted to the NRC in accordance with 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)(i) and (ii), then pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82(a)(2), the 10 CFR 50 licenses will no longer authorize operation of the reactors or emplacement or retention of fuel in the reactor vessels.
September 24, 2020 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 2 The basis for this proposed License Amendment Request (LAR) is that certain TS administrative controls may be revised or removed to reflect the permanently defueled condition. Specifically, this LAR proposes changes to the organization, staffing, and training requirements contained in Section 5.0, "Administrative Controls," of the Byron TS and defines two new positions for Certified Fuel Handler and Non-Certified Operator in Section 1.1, "Definitions." The proposed amendments also support implementation of the Certified Fuel Handler Training and Retraining Program that was submitted to the NRC on September 24, 2020 (Reference 2). to this letter provides a detailed description and evaluation of the proposed changes to the TS. Attachment 2 provides the existing TS pages for Byron, marked up to show the proposed changes.
The proposed changes have been reviewed by the Byron Plant Operations Review Committee in accordance with the requirements of the Exelon Quality Assurance Program.
Exelon requests approval of the proposed amendments by August 16, 2021, to support the current schedule for the Byron transition to a permanently defueled facility. Once approved, the amendments shall be implemented within 60 days from the effective date of the amendments.
Exelon requests that the approved amendments become effective following submittal of the certifications required by 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1), informing the NRC that the Byron Units have been permanently shutdown and defueled.
In accordance with 10 CFR 50.91, "Notice for public comment; State consultation," paragraph (b),
Exelon is notifying the State of Illinois of this application for license amendment by transmitting a copy of this letter and its attachments to the designated State Officials.
There are no regulatory commitments contained within this submittal.
Should you have any questions concerning this submittal, please contact Ms. Lisa Simpson at (630) 657-2815.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on the 24th day of September 2020.

NOTE-------------------------------------
The defined terms of this section appear in capitalized type and are applicable throughout these Technical Specifications and Bases.
Term Definition ACTIONS ACTIONS shall be that part of a Specification that prescribes Required Actions to be taken under designated Conditions within specified Completion Times.
ACTUATION LOGIC TEST An ACTUATION LOGIC TEST shall be the application of various simulated or actual input combinations in conjunction with each possible interlock logic state and the verification of the required logic output. The ACTUATION LOGIC TEST, as a minimum, shall include a continuity check of output devices.
AXIAL FLUX DIFFERENCE AFD shall be the difference in normalized flux (AFD) signals between the top and bottom halves of a two section excore neutron detector.
CHANNEL CALIBRATION A CHANNEL CALIBRATION shall be the adjustment, as necessary, of the channel so that it responds within the required range and accuracy to known inputs. The CHANNEL CALIBRATION shall encompass the entire channel, including the required sensor, alarm, interlock, display, and trip functions.
Calibration of instrument channels with Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) or thermocouple sensors may consist of an inplace qualitative assessment of sensor behavior and normal calibration of the remaining adjustable devices in the channel. The CHANNEL CALIBRATION may be performed by means of any series of sequential, overlapping calibrations or total channel steps so that the entire channel is calibrated, and each step must be performed within the Frequency in the Surveillance Frequency Control Program for the devices included in the step.
CERTIFIED FUEL HANDLER INSERT 1
Definitions 1.1 BYRON UNITS 1 & 2 1.1 5 Amendment 106 1.1 Definitions MODE A MODE shall correspond to any one inclusive combination of core reactivity condition, power level, average reactor coolant temperature, and reactor vessel head closure bolt tensioning specified in Table 1.1-1 with fuel in the reactor vessel.
OPERABLE-OPERABILITY A system, subsystem, train, component, or device shall be OPERABLE or have OPERABILITY when it is capable of performing its specified safety function(s) and when all necessary attendant instrumentation, controls, normal or emergency electrical power, cooling and seal water, lubrication, and other auxiliary equipment that are required for the system, subsystem, train, component, or device to perform its specified safety function(s) are also capable of performing their related support function(s).
PHYSICS TESTS PHYSICS TESTS shall be those tests performed to measure the fundamental nuclear characteristics of the reactor core and related instrumentation.
These tests are:
- a. Described in Chapter 14, Initial Test Program, of the UFSAR;
- b. Authorized under the provisions of 10 CFR 50.59; or
- c. Otherwise approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
