1.0 INTRODUCTION
By application dated April 13, 2020 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML20104C104), as supplemented by letter dated January 29, 2021 (ADAMS Accession No. ML21029A306), Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon, the licensee) submitted a license amendment request for Clinton Power Station (Clinton), Unit No. 1; Dresden Nuclear Power Station (Dresden), Units 2 and 3; James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant (FitzPatrick); LaSalle County Station (LaSalle), Units 1 and 2; Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Unit 2 (NMP-2); Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (Peach Bottom), Units 2 and 3; and Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station (Quad Cities), Units 1 and 2 (collectively, the facilities). The amendments would revise the technical specifications (TSs) for each facility to change the required actions for inoperable residual heat removal (RHR) shutdown cooling subsystems.
The proposed changes are based on Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) traveler TSTF-566, Revision 0, Revise Actions for Inoperable RHR Shutdown Cooling Subsystems (ADAMS Accession No. ML18019B187). The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, the Commission) issued a final safety evaluation (SE) approving TSTF-566, Revision 0, on February 21, 2019 (ADAMS Package Accession No. ML19028A288).
The January 29, 2021, supplemental letter provided additional information that clarified the application, did not expand the scope of the application as originally noticed, and did not change the NRC staffs original proposed no significant hazards consideration determination as published in the Federal Register on May 19, 2020 (85 FR 29985).
2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
2.1 Description of Residual Heat Removal Shutdown Cooling System Irradiated fuel in the shutdown reactor core generates heat during the decay of fission products and increases the temperature of the reactor coolant. This decay heat must be removed to reduce the temperature of the reactor coolant to less than or equal to 200 or 212 degrees Fahrenheit (°F), depending on the plant. This decay heat is removed by the RHR shutdown cooling system in preparation for performing refueling or maintenance operations, or for keeping the reactor in the hot shutdown condition or cold shutdown condition.
There are two to four redundant, manually controlled shutdown cooling subsystems of the RHR system that provide decay heat removal for each reactor unit. Each of the shutdown cooling subsystems of the RHR system can provide the required decay heat removal. Each RHR shutdown cooling subsystem consists of one or two motor-driven pumps, a heat exchanger, and associated piping and valves. The RHR heat exchangers transfer heat to the associated service water system. Some piping and heat exchangers that are passive components may be common to more than one subsystem.
2.2 Description of Proposed Changes For each facility, there are two separate TSs for the RHR shutdown cooling systemone for hot shutdown (Table 1) and one for cold shutdown (Table 2). Exelon proposes to change the required actions for inoperable required RHR shutdown cooling subsystems in both TSs. The proposed changes are based on TSTF-566, Revision 0.
2.2.1 Residual Heat Removal Shutdown Cooling System - Hot Shutdown The hot shutdown TSs for the RHR shutdown cooling system for each facility are listed in Table 1 below. The table provides the TS number, limiting condition for operation (LCO), and applicability.

Peach Bottom TS 3.4.7:
Residual Heat Removal (RHR) Shutdown Cooling System-Hot Shutdown LCO 3.4.7:
Two RHR shutdown cooling subsystems shall be OPERABLE, and, with no recirculation pump in operation, at least one RHR shutdown cooling subsystem shall be in operation.
Applicability:
MODE 3, with reactor steam dome pressure less than the RHR shutdown cooling isolation pressure.

Residual Heat Removal (RHR) Shutdown Cooling System-Hot Shutdown LCO 3.4.7:
Two RHR shutdown cooling subsystems shall be OPERABLE.
Applicability:
MODE 3, with reactor steam dome pressure less than the RHR cut-in permissive pressure.
For the TSs listed in Table 1, when the LCO is applicable and one or two required RHR shutdown cooling subsystems are inoperable (Condition A), operators are currently required to:
(a) initiate action to restore the required RHR shutdown cooling subsystem(s) to operable status (Required Action A.1) immediately; (b) verify an alternate method of decay heat removal is available for each inoperable required RHR shutdown cooling subsystem (Required Action A.2) within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />; and (c) be in Mode 4 (Required Action A.3 for Clinton, Dresden, FitzPatrick, LaSalle, NMP-2, and Peach Bottom; Required Action A.5 for Quad Cities) within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
When in Condition A, if both RHR shutdown cooling subsystems are inoperable, the Quad Cities TS 3.4.7 also requires operators to:
(a) verify reactor coolant circulation by an alternative method (Required Action A.3) within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> and once per 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> thereafter and (b) monitor reactor coolant temperature and pressure (Required Action A.4) once per hour.
For the TSs listed in Table 1, the licensee proposed a new Condition B for when the required action and associated completion time (CT) of Condition A are not met. The licensee proposed to move Required Action A.1 to the new Condition B (as Required Action B.1). The licensee proposed to delete Required Action A.3 for Clinton, Dresden, FitzPatrick, LaSalle, NMP-2, and Peach Bottom and Required Action A.5 for Quad Cities. The licensee also proposed to add a recurring CT to current Required Action A.2 of once per 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> thereafter.
The proposed changes would renumber the current Required Action A.2 as A.1, since current Required Action A.1 would be removed from Condition A. The current Required Actions A.3 and A.4 in the Quad Cities TS 3.4.7 would also be renumbered as A.2 and A.3, respectively.
The TSs listed in Table 1 for Clinton, Dresden, LaSalle, NMP-2, and Peach Bottom currently include a Condition B with Required Actions B.1, B.2, and B.3, which the licensee proposes to renumber as Condition C with Required Actions C.1, C.2, and C.3, respectively.
2.2.2 Residual Heat Removal Shutdown Cooling System - Cold Shutdown The cold shutdown TSs for the RHR shutdown cooling system for each facility are listed in Table 2 below. The table provides the TS number, LCO, and applicability.

For the TSs listed in Table 2, when the LCO is applicable and one or two required RHR shutdown cooling subsystems are inoperable (Condition A), operators are currently required to verify an alternate method of decay heat removal is available for each inoperable required RHR shutdown cooling subsystem (Required Action A.1) within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> and once per 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> thereafter. When in Condition A, if both RHR shutdown cooling subsystems are inoperable, the Quad Cities TS 3.4.8 also requires operators to:
(a) verify reactor coolant circulating by an alternative method (Required Action A.2) within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> and once per 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> thereafter and (b) monitor reactor coolant temperature and pressure (Required Action A.3) once per hour.
For the TSs listed in Table 2, the licensee proposed a new Condition B for when the required action and associated CT of Condition A are not met, which has a required action (new Required Action B.1) to initiate action to restore required RHR shutdown cooling subsystems(s) to operable status immediately.
The TSs listed in Table 2 for Clinton, Dresden, LaSalle, NMP-2, and Peach Bottom currently include a Condition B with Required Actions B.1 and B.2, which the licensee proposes to renumber as Condition C with Required Actions C.1 and C.2, respectively.
2.2.3 Variations from TSTF-566 The Dresden, FitzPatrick, Peach Bottom, and Quad Cities TSs listed in Tables 1 and 2 use different numbering than the standard technical specifications (STS) on which TSTF-566 was based. The Dresden TSs use the term Shutdown Cooling (SDC) instead of Residual Heat Removal (RHR) Shutdown Cooling. The subject Dresden and Peach Bottom TSs refer to the required SDC subsystems and required RHR shutdown cooling subsystems, respectively, to clarify that the remedial actions only apply when the LCO is not met since these facilities have more subsystems than required to meet the LCO. The FitzPatrick and Quad Cities TSs listed in Tables 1 and 2 do not currently include a Condition B. These differences are editorial and do not affect the applicability of TSTF-566 to the proposed LAR with respect to these facilities.
Condition A for both Quad Cities TSs 3.4.7 and 3.4.8 includes two additional required actions that are not included in the STS. These differences do not affect the applicability of TSTF-566 to the proposed LAR with respect to Quad Cities, but are evaluated in Sections 3.1.3 and 3.2.2 of this SE, respectively.
2.3 Regulatory Requirements and Guidance The regulatory requirements related to the content of TSs are provided in Section 50.36, Technical specifications, of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR).
Section 50.36(a)(1) of 10 CFR requires each applicant for a license authorizing operation of a utilization facility to include in the application proposed TSs. In addition, 10 CFR 50.36(a)(1) states, in part: A summary statement of the bases or reasons for such specifications, other than those covering administrative controls, shall also be included in the application, but shall not become part of the technical specifications.
The regulation at 10 CFR 50.36(b) states, in part:
Each license authorizing operation of a utilization facility will include technical specifications. The technical specifications will be derived from the analyses and evaluation included in the safety analysis report, and amendments thereto, submitted pursuant to [10 CFR] 50.34 [Contents of applications; technical information]. The Commission may include such additional technical specifications as the Commission finds appropriate.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.36, TSs for operating reactors are required, in part, to include LCOs. In accordance with 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2), LCOs are the lowest functional capability or performance levels of equipment required for safe operation of the facility. When an LCO is not met, the licensee shall shut down the reactor or follow any remedial action permitted by the TSs until the LCO can be met.
The regulation at 10 CFR 50.40, Common standards, states, in part:
In determining that [an] operating license will be issued to an applicant, the Commission will be guided by the following considerations:
(a) the processes to be performed, the operating procedures, the facility and equipment, the use of the facility, and other technical specifications, or the proposals, in regard to any of the foregoing collectively provide reasonable assurance that the applicant will comply with the regulations in this chapter, including the regulations in part 20 of this chapter, and that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered.
The NRC staffs guidance for the review of TSs is in Section 16.0, Revision 3, Technical Specifications (ADAMS Accession No. ML100351425), of NUREG-0800, Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants: LWR [Light-Water Reactor] Edition. As described therein, as part of the regulatory standardization effort, the NRC staff has prepared improved STS for each of the LWR nuclear designs. Accordingly, the NRC staffs review includes consideration of whether the proposed changes are consistent with the applicable reference STS (i.e., the current STS), as modified by NRC-approved travelers. The current STS and associated bases for boiling-water reactors (BWRs) are:
- 1. NUREG-1433, Revision 4.0, Standard Technical Specifications: General Electric BWR/4 Plants, Volume 1, Specifications, and Volume 2, Bases, April 2012 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML12104A192 and ML12104A193, respectively); and
- 2. NUREG-1434, Revision 4.0, Standard Technical Specifications: General Electric BWR/6 Plants, Volume 1, Specifications, and Volume 2, Bases, April 2012 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML12104A195 and ML12104A196, respectively).
The TSs for Dresden, Peach Bottom, and Quad Cities are based on NUREG-1433. The TSs for Clinton are based on NUREG-1434. The TSs for FitzPatrick, LaSalle, and NMP-2 are based on both NUREG-1433 and NUREG-1434 because these facilities include both General Electric BWR/4 and BWR/6 design elements.
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
3.1 Proposed Changes to the Technical Specifications Listed in Table 1 For each facility, the licensee proposed to modify the hot shutdown TSs for the RHR shutdown cooling system (see Table 1). The technical evaluation of the proposed changes to these TSs is provided in this section.
3.1.1 Evaluation of Changes to Condition A For each TS listed in Table 1, the current Required Action A.2 requires verification that an alternate method of decay heat removal is available for each inoperable required RHR shutdown cooling subsystem within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />. The licensee proposed to add a recurring CT to Required Action A.2 of once per 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> thereafter. The NRC staff finds that this change is acceptable, since it requires verification of alternate methods of decay heat removal every 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> and provides assurance of continued heat removal capability.
For each TS listed in Table 1, the licensee also proposed to delete current Required Action A.3 (Required Action A.5 for Quad Cities), which requires the plant to be in Mode 4 within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> when one or two required RHR shutdown cooling subsystems are inoperable. Current Required Action A.3 (Required Action A.5 for Quad Cities) requires operators to reduce the reactor coolant system temperature to the point where Mode 4 is entered, due to the potentially reduced reliability of the alternate methods of decay heat removal. However, if there are no operable RHR shutdown cooling subsystems and the plant is in a period of high decay heat load, it may not be possible to reduce the reactor coolant system temperature to the Mode 4 entry condition (i.e., less than 200 °F or 212 °F, depending on the plant) within the CT. Additionally, in a typical BWR design, the RHR shutdown cooling system has a heat rejection capability many times greater than alternate methods available. Therefore, for periods in which there is high decay heat load, the BWR design does not include any system that can satisfy Required Action A.3 (Required Action A.5 for Quad Cities). The NRC staff finds that the deletion of current Required Action A.3 (Required Action A.5 for Quad Cities) is acceptable because, when an LCO listed in Table 1 is applicable, a remaining required action requires verification that an alternate method of decay heat removal is available to transfer fission product decay heat and other residual heat from the reactor core at a rate such that specified acceptable fuel design limits and the design conditions of the reactor coolant pressure boundary are not exceeded.
For each TS listed in Table 1, the current Required Action A.2 would be renumbered as A.1, since Required Action A.1 would be removed from Condition A. Additionally, the current Required Actions A.3 and A.4 in the Quad Cities TS 3.4.7 would be renumbered as A.2 and A.3, respectively. The NRC staff finds that these changes are acceptable since they provide the correct number sequence.
3.1.2 Evaluation of New Condition B For each TS listed in Table 1, the licensee proposed a new Condition B for when the required action and associated CT of Condition A is not met. Required Action B.1 for the new Condition B is moved from the current Required Action A.1 and requires operators to initiate action to restore required RHR shutdown cooling subsystems(s) to operable status immediately.
The NRC staff finds that relocating current Required Action A.1 to new Required Action B.1 is acceptable because other ways of removing decay heat are available, such as natural circulation, the spent fuel pool cooling system, the reactor water cleanup system, and an inoperable, but functional, RHR shutdown cooling subsystem.
If an alternate method cannot be established (Condition A), new Condition B requires the licensee to immediately initiate action to restore the inoperable required RHR shutdown cooling subsystem(s) to operable status. Section 1.3 of the TSs for each facility states that when immediately is used as a CT, the Required Action should be pursued without delay and in a controlled manner. New Required Action B.1 continues to apply until the inoperable required RHR shutdown cooling subsystems are restored to operable status, an alternate decay heat removal method is established, or the specification is exited.
The NRC staff finds that this change is acceptable because new Condition B, with its Required Action B.1, provides an appropriate terminal action for when an alternate method of decay heat removal cannot be established within the CT. In addition, new Required Action B.1 will restore redundant decay heat removal paths and the immediate CT reflects the importance of maintaining the availability of two paths for heat removal.
3.1.3 Additional Evaluation of New Condition B for Quad Cities When in Condition A, if both RHR shutdown cooling subsystems are inoperable, the Quad Cities TS 3.4.7 also requires operators to:
(a) verify reactor coolant circulation by an alternative method (current Required Action A.3) within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> and once per 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> thereafter and (b) monitor reactor coolant temperature and pressure (current Required Action A.4) once per hour.
The bases for Quad Cities TS 3.4.7 state, in part, that the alternative method for reactor coolant circulation will provide assurance of continued temperature monitoring capability and it may be satisfied by placing a recirculation pump in service. The periodic monitoring of the reactor coolant temperature and pressure provides assurance that this alternative method is functioning properly.
For Quad Cities TS 3.4.7, the new Condition B, with its Required Action B.1, would apply when the required action and associated CT of Condition A is not met, including current Required Actions A.3 and A.4. Thus, if an alternative method of reactor coolant circulation could not be established or the reactor coolant temperature and pressure could not be monitored, then the new Required Action B.1 would require operators to immediately initiate action to restore the inoperable RHR shutdown cooling subsystem(s) to operable status.
In addition to the finding in Section 3.1.2 of this SE, the NRC staff finds that this change for Quad Cities is acceptable because the new Condition B, with its Required Action B.1, provides an appropriate terminal action for when an alternate method for reactor coolant circulation cannot be established within the CT. Restoration of an RHR shutdown cooling subsystem would provide adequate reactor coolant circulation to assure continued temperature monitoring capability.
3.1.4 Evaluation of Changes to Existing Condition B The TSs listed in Table 1 for Clinton, Dresden, LaSalle, NMP-2, and Peach Bottom currently include a Condition B with Required Actions B.1, B.2, and B.3, which the licensee proposed to renumber as Condition C with Required Actions C.1, C.2, and C.3, respectively. The NRC staff finds that this change is acceptable since it provides the correct number sequence.
3.1.5 Conclusion Regarding Proposed Changes to the Technical Specifications Listed in Table 1 The NRC staff concludes that the proposed changes to the TSs listed in Table 1 are acceptable since the TSs will continue to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.40(a) because they provide reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered.
3.2 Proposed Changes to the Technical Specifications Listed in Table 2 For each facility, the licensee proposed to modify the cold shutdown TSs for the RHR shutdown cooling system (see Table 2). The technical evaluation of the proposed changes to these TSs is provided in this section.
3.2.1 Evaluation of New Condition B For each TS listed in Table 2, the licensee proposed a new Condition B for when the required action and associated CT of Condition A is not met. Required Action B.1 for the new Condition B requires operators to initiate action to restore required RHR shutdown cooling subsystems(s) to operable status immediately.
If an alternate method cannot be established (Condition A), new Condition B requires the licensee to immediately initiate action to restore the inoperable required RHR shutdown cooling subsystem(s) to operable status. Section 1.3 of the TSs for each facility states that when immediately is used as a CT, the Required Action should be pursued without delay and in a controlled manner. New Required Action B.1 continues to apply until the inoperable required RHR shutdown cooling subsystems are restored to operable status, an alternate decay heat removal method is established, or the specification is exited.
The NRC staff finds that this change is acceptable because new Condition B, with its Required Action B.1, provides an appropriate terminal action for when an alternate method cannot be established within the CT. In addition, new Required Action B.1 will restore redundant decay heat removal paths and the immediate CT reflects the importance of maintaining the availability of two paths for heat removal.
3.2.2 Additional Evaluation of New Condition B for Quad Cities When in Condition A, if both RHR shutdown cooling subsystems are inoperable, the Quad Cities TS 3.4.8 also requires operators to:
(a) verify reactor coolant circulating by an alternative method (Required Action A.2) within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> and once per 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> thereafter and (b) monitor reactor coolant temperature and pressure (Required Action A.3) once per hour.
The bases for Quad Cities TS 3.4.8 states, in part, that the alternative method for reactor coolant circulation will provide assurance of continued temperature monitoring capability and it may be satisfied by placing a recirculation pump in service. The periodic monitoring of the reactor coolant temperature and pressure provides assurance that this alternative method is functioning properly.
For Quad Cities TS 3.4.8, the new Condition B, with its Required Action B.1, would apply when the required action and associated CT of Condition A is not met, including Required Actions A.2 and A.3. Thus, if an alternative method of reactor coolant circulation could not be established or the reactor coolant temperature and pressure could not be monitored, then the new Required Action B.1 would require operators to immediately initiate action to restore the inoperable RHR shutdown cooling subsystem(s) to operable status.
In addition to the finding in Section 3.2.1 of this SE, the NRC staff finds that this change for Quad Cities is acceptable because the new Condition B, with its Required Action B.1, provides an appropriate terminal action for when an alternate method for reactor coolant circulation cannot be established within the CT. Restoration of an RHR shutdown cooling subsystem would provide adequate reactor coolant circulation to assure continued temperature monitoring capability.
3.2.3 Evaluation of Changes to Existing Condition B The TSs listed in Table 2 for Clinton, Dresden, LaSalle, NMP-2, and Peach Bottom currently include a Condition B with Required Actions B.1 and B.2, which the licensee proposed to renumber as Condition C with Required Actions C.1 and C.2, respectively. The NRC staff finds that this change is acceptable since it provides the correct number sequence.
3.2.4 Conclusion Regarding Proposed Changes to the Technical Specifications Listed in Table 2 The NRC staff concludes that the proposed changes to the TSs listed in Table 2 are acceptable since the TSs will continue to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.40(a) because they provide reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered.
