2. Penetration flow paths capable of being isolated by valves that will close automatically without offsite power prior to the RPV water level being equal to the TAF when actuated by RPV water level isolation instrumentation; or
3. Penetration flow paths with isolation devices that can be closed prior to the RPV water level being equal to the TAF by a dedicated operator trained in the task, who in continuous communication with the control room, is stationed at the controls, and is capable of closing the penetration flow path isolation device without offsite power.

c) The penetration flow paths required to be evaluated per paragraph b) are assumed to open instantaneously and are not subsequently isolated, and no water is assumed to be subsequently added to the RPV water inventory; d) No additional draining events occur; and e) Realistic cross-sectional areas and drain rates are used.

A bounding DRAIN TIME may be used in lieu of a calculated value.

EMERGENCY CORE COOLING The ECCS RESPONSE TIME shall be that time interval SYSTEM (ECCS) RESPONSE from when the monitored parameter exceeds its ECCS TIME initiation setpoint at the channel sensor until the ECCS equipment is capable of performing its safety function (i.e., the valves travel to their required positions, pump discharge pressures reach their required values, etc.). Times shall include diesel generator starting and sequence loading delays, where applicable. The response time may be measured by means of any series of sequential, overlapping, or total steps so that the entire response time is measured.

SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO. 222 TO RENEWED FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. NPF-43 DTE ELECTRIC COMPANY FERMI 2 DOCKET NO. 50-341

1.0 INTRODUCTION

By letter dated March 31, 2021 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML21090A194), as supplemented by its letters dated August 17, 2021, and March 18, 2022 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML21229A090 and ML22077A094, respectively),

DTE Electric Company (DTE, the licensee) submitted a request for changes to the Fermi 2 technical specifications (TSs). The DTE request would make the following changes to the Fermi 2 TSs.

a) correction of line formatting inconsistency throughout the TS b) correction of continuation notation throughout the TS c) correction of typographical error in TS Section 3.0 d) correction of typographical error in TS Sections 3.2.1 and 3.2.3 e) correction of missing completion time in TS Sections 3.3.7.2 and 3.3.7.3 f) correction of logical connector formatting errors throughout the TS g) correction of typographical errors in TS Section 3.4 title h) correction of formatting error of dashed lines for notes in TS Sections 3.4.10 and 3.7.7 i) correction of typographical error in TS Section 3.5.2 j) correction of formatting inconsistency in TS Section 3.8.1 k) correction of position title in TS Section 5.2.1 l) correction of position title in TS Sections 5.1.2, 5.2.2, and 5.7.2 m) removal of obsolete information from TS Section 5.5.2 n) removal of a reference from TS Section 5.6.5 o) removal of excess detail from TS Section 3.4.5 The supplemental letter dated August 17, 2021, provided additional information that clarified the application, and the supplemental letter dated March 18, 2022, removed TS page 5.0-19 from the scope of the original request. The proposed change to TS page 5.0-19 was to correct an administrative inconsistency and was not a technical change. Therefore, the two supplements did not expand the scope of the application as originally noticed and did not change the U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) staffs original proposed no significant

hazards consideration determination as published the Federal Register on June 15, 2021 (86 FR 31738).

2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION

Section 50.36 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) requires that each licensee operate a station in accordance with plant-specific TSs. Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.36, TSs are required to include items in the following five specific categories related to station operation:

1) safety limits, limiting safety system settings, and limiting control settings;
2) limiting conditions for operation;
3) surveillance requirements;
4) design features; and
5) administrative controls.

The requirements in 10 CFR 50.36 do not specify the particular requirements to be included in a stations TSs nor the format or style of a stations TSs.

3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION

The proposed amendment would make changes to the Fermi 2 TSs as listed in Section 1.0 and evaluated in this section.

3.1 Editorial Changes Proposed changes a) - d) and f) - j) listed in Section 1 of this safety evaluation have been confirmed to be editorial changes to the Fermi 2 TSs, and, as such, these do not make any meaningful changes to operational requirements. None of these changes would change the operation of the station or the implementation of the Fermi 2 TSs. Since the changes are editorial in nature and do not change the permissible operation of the station (i.e., they do not change the requirements in the TSs), the NRC staff finds the proposed changes acceptable.

3.2 Missing Completion Time in TS Sections 3.3.7.2 and 3.3.7.3 TS Sections 3.3.7.2 Mechanical Vacuum Pump (MVP) Trip Instrumentation and 3.3.7.3 Gland Seal Exhauster (GSE) Trip Instrumentation were added to Fermi TSs in amendment number 212 (ADAMS Accession Number ML18250A163). Each section contains a Condition A with two possible Required Actions A.1 and A.2 separated by the logical connector OR. In the Completion Time column, 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> completion time is currently aligned with Required Action A.1. The staffs safety evaluation for amendment number 212 states, in part, that The Actions associated with the new LCOs specify that if one or more channels is inoperable, that channel be restored to operable status or placed in trip within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. Based on the above evaluation, the staff finds the addition of completion time of 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> for Action A.2 in TS Sections 3.3.7.2 and 3.3.7.3 acceptable.

3.3 Position Title Change in TS Section 5.2.1 In TS Section 5.2.1, the licensee proposed to change the position title of Senior Vice President-Nuclear Generation to Senior Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer. The proposed title is consistent with Sections 13.1 and 17.2.1 of the Fermi 2 UFSAR and is acceptable.

3.4 Position Title Change in TS Sections 5.1.2, 5.2.2, and 5.7.2 The Fermi 2 TS Section 5.1.2 designates the Nuclear Shift Supervisor (NSS) as the person responsible for control room command function. This position title and/or its abbreviation, NSS, is also used in TS Sections 5.2.2 and 5.7.2. The licensee proposed to change NSS to shift manager (SM) for these TS sections. Fermi 2 UFSAR Section 13.1.2.6 documents that the NSS has the same functional responsibilities as the SM. The licensee also confirmed in its submittal that the rest of the UFSAR has been updated over the years to use the SM title.

Therefore, this TS change makes the title consistent with the UFSAR and is acceptable.

3.5 Removal of Excess Detail from TS Section 3.4.5 RCS PIV Leakage The licensee proposed to delete the word testable from isolation testable check valves and change it to isolation check valves, in the Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.4.5.1.c. The proposed change is consistent with the Fermi 2 TS Bases 3.4.5, which states, in part, that A study (NUREG-0677, The Probability of the Intersystem LOCA [loss-of-coolant accident]:

Impact Due to Leak Testing and Operation Changes (ADAMS Accession No. ML19323E667))

evaluated various PIV [pressure isolation valves] configurations to determine the probability of intersystem LOCAs. This study concluded that periodic leakage testing of the PIVs can reduce intersystem LOCA substantially. This study cited in NUREG-0677 only considered check valves for evaluation. Therefore, The NRC staff determines that this is an appropriate change to remove the unnecessary information and concludes it is acceptable since the change is consistent with the NUREG-0677 guidance.

3.6 Removal of Obsolete Information from TS Section 5.5.2 Primary Coolant Sources Outside Containment The licensee proposed to delete the hydrogen recombiners from the list of systems outside containment that could contain highly radioactive fluids during a serious transient or accident in TS Section 5.5.2. The licensee has justified this change by stating that Fermi 2 has taken action to retire the hydrogen recombiners in place by de-energizing the electrical circuits and isolating the fluid process piping from primary containment with redundant locked closed isolation valves. Fermi 2 operating procedures and Updated Final Safety Analysis Report have been updated to reflect that the hydrogen recombiner system is retired and isolated. The NRC staff determines that this is an appropriate removal of obsolete information and concludes it is acceptable since in the current design and licensing basis, the hydrogen recombiners are no longer a system outside containment that could contain highly radioactive fluids during a serious transient or accident.

3.7 Removal of Obsolete Information from TS Section 5.6.5 CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT (COLR)

The licensee proposed to remove the reference in TS Section 5.6.5 to NEDE-23785-1-PA for the GESTR-LOCA and SAFER models for evaluation of LOCAs which is no longer used.

Fermi 2 TS Section 5.6.5 identifies the analytical methods used to determine the core operating limits, and currently lists both NEDE-24011-P-A (TRACG-LOCA) and NEDE-23785-1-PA (SAFER/GESTR). The licensee justified this change by stating that LOCA reanalysis was performed using the TRACG-LOCA method rather than SAFER/GESTR, and all of the analytical methods used to determine the core operating limits for Fermi 2 are now documented in NEDE-24011-P-A. The NRC staff determines that this is an appropriate change to remove

obsolete information and concludes it is acceptable since the licensee has discontinued use of the NEDE-23785-1-PA methodology.

4.0 STATE CONSULTATION

In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Michigan State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendment on November 12, 2021. The State official had no comments.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

The amendment changes the format of the license or permit or otherwise makes editorial, corrective or other minor revisions. The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration, as published in the Federal Register on June 15, 2021 (86 FR 31738), and there has been no public comment on such finding. Accordingly, the amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10)(v). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendment.

6.0 CONCLUSION

The Commission has concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that: (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) there is reasonable assurance that such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commissions regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
