Subject:
Supplement to License Amendment Request to Revise Technical Specifications to Adopt Risk-Informed Completion Times TSTF-505, Revision 2, Provide Risk-Informed Extended Completion Times - RITSTF Initiative 4b Ladies and Gentlemen:
By letter dated April 1, 2021 (ADAMS Accession No. ML21091A053), as supplemented by letters dated April 26,2021 and November 1, 2021 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML21116A161 and ML21305A891, respectively), Duke Energy Progress, LLC (Duke Energy) requested an amendment to the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), Unit Nos. 1 and 2 Technical Specifications (TS). The proposed amendment would modify TS requirements to permit the use of Risk-Informed Completion Times in accordance with TSTF-505, Revision 2, Provide Risk-Informed Extended Completion Times - RITSTF [Risk-Informed TSTF] Initiative 4b, (ADAMS Accession No. ML18183A493).
In Attachments 1 and 2 of the November 1, 2021, supplement Duke Energy inadvertently omitted a portion of the markup for TS 3.6.1.3, Primary Containment Isolation Valves (PCIVs) to align with TSTF-505, Revision 2. Specifically, BSEP TS 3.6.1.3 has the requirement to isolate the affected penetration flow path when one or more penetration flow paths with one PCIV inoperable. This is followed by the requirement to periodically verify the affected penetration flow path is isolated. By adding the flexibility to use a Risk-Informed Completion Time (RICT) to determine the time to isolate the penetration, the periodic verification must then be based on the time following isolation. Therefore, the enclosure to this letter revises the TS 3.6.1.3 markup to account for the time change caused by RICT implementation. The markup of all other TS provided in the November 1, 2021 supplement remain valid.
Duke Energy has reviewed the information supporting the No Significant Hazards Consideration and the Environmental Consideration that was previously provided to the NRC in the original license amendment request (LAR). The additional information provided in this LAR supplement does not impact the conclusion that the proposed license amendment does not involve a significant hazards consideration. The additional information also does not impact the conclusion that there is no need for an environmental assessment to be prepared in support of the proposed amendment.
There are no regulatory commitments made in this submittal.
