Specifically, the proposed change would add a Note modifying the Completion Time associated with TS 3.7.7, Condition A, Required Action A.1, to 288 hours0.00333 days <br />0.08 hours <br />4.761905e-4 weeks <br />1.09584e-4 months <br /> during ONS Unit 2, Refuel 31 (Fall 2023) to allow for the tie-in and testing of an alternate suction source to the shared Unit 1 and Unit 2 A and B LPSW pumps. Duke Energy stated that the alternate suction source to the shared Unit 1 and Unit 2 A and B LPSW pumps is needed to permit draining of the Condenser Circulating Water (CCW) System cross-connect header for the replacement of three CCW valves.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs review of the LAR has commenced in accordance with the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulations (NRR) Office Instruction LIC-101, License Amendment Review Procedures (ADAMS) Accession No. ML19248C539). The NRC staff has determined that a regulatory audit of the LAR should be conducted in accordance with the NRR Office Instruction LIC-111, Regulatory Audits (ADAMS Accession No. ML19226A274) for the staff to gain a better understanding of the licensees proposal.
A regulatory audit is a planned, license or regulation-related activity that includes the examination and evaluation of primarily non-docketed information. A regulatory audit is conducted with the intent to gain understanding, to verify information, and/or to identify information that will require docketing to support the basis of a licensing or regulatory decision.
Performing a regulatory audit of the licensees information is expected to assist the NRC staff in efficiently conducting its review and gain insights on the licensees processes or procedures.
Information that the NRC staff relies upon to make the safety determination must be submitted on the docket. However, the NRC staff may review supporting information retained as records and discussed in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.71 Maintenance of records, making of reports and/or 10 CFR 54.37 Additional records and recordkeeping requirements, which, although not required to be submitted as part of the licensing action, would help the staff better understand the licensees submitted information.
Enclosure 1
The NRC staff will conduct the audit virtually using Microsoft Team on January 24, 2022.
The objectives of this audit are to:

AUDIT QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION 3.7.7, LOW PRESSURE SERVICE WATER (LPSW) SYSTEM TO EXTEND THE COMPLETION TIME FOR ONE REQUIRED INOPERABLE LPSW PUMP ON A TEMPORARY BASIS OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION UNITS 1, 2, AND 3 DUKE ENERGY CAROLINAS, LLC DOCKET NOS. 50-269, 50-270, AND 50-287 The following is a list of audit questions for discussion to aid in the development of any formal requests for additional information (RAI). If the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff determines that the information in an audit question is needed to reach a licensing or regulatory decision, the NRC will issue a formal RAI shortly after the audit.
Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR), Division of Engineering and External Hazards, Mechanical Engineering and Inservice Testing Branch The license amendment request (LAR) does not describe the configuration, function, and testing of the alternate LPSW suction source after its installation. The NRC staff requests that Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC (Duke Energy) respond to the following questions regarding the alternate LPSW suction source:
What is the long term plan for the alternate LPSW suction source?
What pumps and valves will be part of the alternate LPSW suction source?
What are the testing plans for the pumps and valves that are part of the alternate LPSW suction source?
What is the estimated duration for reliance on the alternate LPSW suction source?
Will reliance on the alternate LPSW suction source involve different functional requirements from the Oconee Nuclear Station (ONS) Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) or Inservice Testing (IST) Program Plan for the pumps and valves that are part of the alternate LPSW suction source?
How will the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Operation and Maintenance Code provisions as incorporated by reference in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 50.55a, Codes and standards, and listed in the IST Program Plan for the pumps and Enclosure 2
valves that are part of the alternate LPSW suction source be met during reliance on the alternate LPSW suction source?
Will the IST Program Plan need to be modified to address pumps and valves that are part of the alternate LPSW suction source?
NRR, Division of Safety Systems, Containment and Plant Systems Branch As shown in Figure 7, U2 Outage - Dewater CCW [Condenser Circulating Water] Including crossover to Replace 2CCW-41, CCW-72, & CCW-73, of Attachment 5 of the LAR, during the proposed installation of the alternate suction source to the shared Unit 1 and Unit 2 A and B LPSW pumps, water will not be available to A&B Chillers. The ONS UFSAR Figure 9-24, Control Room Area Ventilation and Air Conditioning System, shows that A&B chillers supply the control room air handling units and normally use water from the CCW system crossover line for the chiller condenser. The ONS Units 1, 2, and 3, Technical Specification (TS) 3.7.16, Control Room Area Cooling Systems (CRACS), Condition F requires entering TS limiting condition for operation (LCO) 3.0.3 when two chilled water trains are inoperable during MODE 1, 2, 3, or 4.
Please explain how the proposed installation affects meeting TS 3.7.16, Control Room Area Cooling Systems (CRACS).
NRR, Division of Safety Systems, Technical Specifications Branch The TS Note proposed to be added contains a condition to have appropriate LPSW loads secured. Please explain what steps need to be taken to appropriately to secure LPSW loads and confirm there is a QA-approved procedure in place to perform these steps.
Please discuss cross-connecting Unit 3 LPSW to Unit 1 and 2. For example, has Duke Energy cross-connected to Unit 3 before? Will the operators be trained in the use of the procedure?
How much time is estimated for cross-connecting to Unit 3? Has this time been validated? At what time does the accident analysis assume LPSW will begin operating?
Clarify if the intent of the Note is not only to expire at 288 hours0.00333 days <br />0.08 hours <br />4.761905e-4 weeks <br />1.09584e-4 months <br /> but also upon the completion of the modification, whichever comes first. If so, suggest modify the Note to reflect this accordingly.
