LaSalle County Station 10 CFR50.59 Evaluation Summary Report.
L 19-177. Revision 1. Core Average Exposure (CAVEX) Increase Implementation
Evaluation L 19-177 Revision O was previously described in the 2020 biennial summary submittal. However, this evaluation required revision in 2021 to correct an erroneous statement regarding accident analysis being affected as well as some editorial items. The conclusion of the eval~ation remained unchanged.
This activity increased the design basis End-of-Cycle (EOC) Core Average Exposure (CAVEX) for both units to 35,000 MWd/ST for decay heat and 41,00OMWd/ST for radiation, to allow better utilization of nuclear fuels and to improve fuel economy. The purpose of increasing the design basis CAVEX was to allow better utilization of nuclear fuels ~nd improve fuel economy. The increase in CAVEX provides the core designer flexibility to use fewer new fuel bundles (or lower enrichments) to achieve the desired operating cycle length.
Summary of Conclusion* for the Activity's 50.59 Re~iew:
There was no hardware change to any of the plant systems, and plant operations remained unaffected. The fuel rods will continue to be operated below their mechanical and thermal design limits. The activity did not adversely affect the design or safety function of any plant
, \\ system or components.
L20-150. Upgrade LaSalle Unit 2 Main Generator Auto Voltage Regulator (AVR)
The proposed activity replaced the existing GE Alterrex main generator automatic voltage
. regulator (AVR) with a new Asea Brown Boveri (ABB) digital AVR, Model Unitrol 600 Medium, which performs the same critical functions in the overall excitation system as the existing,
AVR. In place of the single-channel design of the existing AVR, the replacementAVR uses a two-channel design to improve reliability. The existing AVR excitation system is a closed feedback system (self-excited) with the output of the alternator-exciter being used to supply an j AC input back to the AVR, which then converts it to DC for power to the exciter field. The new AVR has two independent 480 Vac power feed to support the dual-channel design to enhance reliability. One of the 480 Vac power feed will supply the one power channel, while second 480 Vac is connected to the second channel of the AVR.
The new AVR also inclu~es a power system stabilizer (PSS) function to enhance grid stability
- by providing an excitation control terminal (ECT) touch-screen panel at the AVR for local control and monitoring. New 480 Vac power sources are required for this modification. The new AVR is being placed in the same location as the existing AYR. The existing two 125V DC power supplies are re-used to provide the two channels protective and control interface functions. The new AVR is installed in the same location as the existing AVR.
Summary of Conclusion for.the Activity's 50.59 Review:
The new AVR is designed to operate at the same *ratings as the existing AVR to ensure it is compatible with the existing Main Generator excitation system. There is no impact on the design basis or safety analyses described in the UFSAR.

L20-67. Unit 2 MISV Weir Internals Retrofit Modification (EC 627195)
_The activity replaced the existing Unit 2 MSIV 2B21-F022A/B/C/D and 2B21-F028A/B/C/D internal components with new bonnet, stem, and poppet assembly that includes a stabilized nose guidance poppet, stem, and cover. Each MSIV is a 26-inch globe valve, having a Y
. patterns body with cylindrical main disc moving along a centerline 45 degrees upward from the_ axis of the horizontal main steam inlet line. Stabilization is accomplished by back-seating poppet on cover when fully open, similar to 2B33-F067 valves. This design has proven at other facilities to improve LLRT results, stem alignment, and reduce wear and vibration. In addition, design analyses and procedures are revised to reflect the new components.
Summary of Conclusion for the Activity's 50.59 Review:
The design change was determined to have no adverse effect on the operation of the plant.
There is no change to the design bases or safety analyses of the MSIV system functional design, or any change to the design bases of the controls for the MSIVs in the UFSAR. The activity does not alter the required response times specified in the UFSAR safety analyses, and therefore, it does.,not impact any UFSAR described safety analysis.
L20-104 *. Addition of Criticality Safety Analysis Supporting SFP Storage of GNF3 Fuel (EC 629256)
The proposed activity is a subset of introducing the new nuclear fuel type GNF3 to both units for powering future reload' cycles. The activity reviews the augmentation of the plant design
_ basis to add the criticality safety analysis (CSA) required to demonstrate that GNF3 _nuclear fuel can be safely stored on site in either the Unit 1 or Unit 2 spent fuel pool (SFP) under normal, off-normal, or in accident conditions. The activity does not include an update to the criticality safety analysis or design basis for the storage of fresh fuel in the shared Unit 1 and Unit 2 new fuel vault (NFV). Other aspects of the introduction of GNF3 new fuel such as fuel hanclling and component compatibility, seismic impact, fuel handling accident dose impacts criticality during handling on the refuel floor, and storage in shipping containers on the refueling floor and not part of this review scope and will be addressed through the new fuel introduction EC 629257 or via the Fuel Handling l;C however, separately with the EC from the CSA work for the SFPs...
Summary of Conclusion for the Activity's 50.59 Review:
The departure from a method of evaluation that was identified in the GNF3 CSA was
- acceptable from both the viewpoint of (1) change to any element of an analysis methodology that yields results that are non-conservative or not essentially the same as the result from the analysis of record, and (2) the use of new or different methods of evaluation that are not
. approved by the NRC for the intended application. For (1), the change to the element of analysis methodology involved in this work was acceptable since it produces results that are the same as that described in the UFSAR, and (2) the update made to the code versions used in the analysis do not constitute the _use,of new or different.methods of evaluation that have not been previously approved by the NRC for the intended purpose. *

L20-135. Unit 1 MSIV Weir Internals Retrofit Modification (EC 627194)
The activity replaced the existing Unit 1 MSIV 1B21-F022A/B/C/D and 1B21-F028A/B/C/D internal components with new bonnet, stem, and poppet assembly that includes a stabilized nose guidance poppet, stem, and cover. Each MSIV is a 26-inch globe valve, having a Y patterns body with cylindrical main disc moving along a centerline 45 degrees upward from the axis of the horizontal main steam inlet line. Stabilization is accomplished by back-seating, poppet on cover when fully open, similar to 1 B33-F067 valves. This design has proven at other facilities to improve LLRT results, stem alignment, and reduce wear and vibration. In addition, the stem leak-off manual isolation valves 1E31-F004A1/2/3/4 will be closed and the control switches for the solenoid valves 1E31-F005A1/2/3/4 placed in the "closed" position.
These manual isolation valve.s are associated with the inboard MSIVs that isolate the associated packing leak-off lines that direct packing leakage to the Drywell Equipment Drain Sump System (DWEDS). The closed outboard MSIV stem leak-off manual valves 1821-F027 A/B/C/D and associated capped lines will be removed entirely. In addition, design analyses and procedures are revised to reflect the new components.
- Summary of Conclusion for the Activity's 50.59 Review:
The design change was determined to have no adverse effect on any UFSAR described design function, how these design functions are performed or controlled. The change will not affect how components are utilized, operated, or controlled. In addition, no change to the Technical Specifications or Facility Operating License is required. The proposed activity does involve an alternative evaluation methodology used in establishing the design bases. The evaluation of the change in method of eva.luation concluded that the proposed activity may be implemented without obtaining a license amendment.
L21-04, Alternate 1 B Reactor Recirculation Seal Staging Path (EC 633318)
The proposed activity redirects the RR seal staging flow in a manner that bypasses any blockage in the current line. This will be accomplished by directing the 1 RR21 BB-0.5" line thrqugh the drain line on the instrument rack located near column F-10 in the reactor building general access area on 71 O' and routing through temporary hoses and tubes to the pump side flange of the 1RE005A check valve on the 1RE63M-1_1/2" located in the DWEDS pump room in the reactor building 710'. This allows the staging flow to be re-directed to DWEDS sump through the gravity drain system. The activity utilizes the pressure instrument line going through penetration 1-27, outside of containment, at the instrument rack, and downstream of the excess flow check valve 1833-F3178. The activity would also utilize the drain valve (needle valves). From there, flow goes past the 1 FE-RE005 so it can be quantified and from there it does to DWEDS.
Summary of Conclusion for the Activity's 50.59 Review:
A 50.59 screening was prepared, and it was determined that the proposed activity will adversely affect some of the UFSAR described design functions. Since the activity has some adverse issues, a 50._59 evaluation will be required.

L21-08. GNF3 Impact on the Alternate Source Term Core Inventory. AST LOCA, FHA.
EC 629257 will support operation and use of the GNF3 fuel type on a full-core scale; Previous operation of the GNF3 bundle was limited to the Lead Use/Test Assembly program. The GNF3 fuel bundle has mechanical, ch~mical, and neutronic characteristics that require reanalys_is in many areas, however the scope of this 50.59 is limited to the impacts of Alternative Source Term (AST) dose changes. For non-AST considerations please see 50.59
- Evaluation L21-10, "GNF3 New Fuel Transition for Operation and Irradiation".
GNF3 allows for a higher loading of uranium per bundle, yielding a larger potential radionuclide inventory available for release under accident conditions. A new source term was calculated assuming a higher total core weight; this was then percolated into the downstream AST dose calculations that assume a release of radionuclides from the fuel, namely the Control Rod Drop Accident (CRDA), Fuel Handling Accident (FHA), and Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA). The LOCA scenario for High Energy Line Break (HELB) / Steam Line Break
- Outside Containment (SLB-OC, a.k.a. MSLO, a.k.a. STMO, a.k.a. MSLB) is not re-evaluated for dose, as the GNF3 LOCA report [005N5629] concludes that there is no potential for fuel failure in that scenario. With no fuel failure the only activity released is from the coolant, which is unaffected by the fuel type.
The CRDA, FHA, and LOCA doses at the Exclusion Area Boundary (EAB),,.Low Population Zone (LPZ), and Control Room (CR) have been re-calculated to support GNF3 introduction and operation. * *
- Summary of Conclusion for the Activity's 50.59 Review:
The total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) results for the dose-significant scenarios have increased slightly at select locations of interest. These increases are no more than minimal and therefore can be implemented under the 50.59 process and do not require an amendment to LaSalle's license. -
L21-24. Upgrade LaSalle Unit 1 Main Generator Auto Voltage Regulator (EC 630051)
The proposed activity replaces the existing GE Alterrex main generator automatic voltage regulator (AVR) with a new Asea Brown Boveri (ABB) digital AVR, Model Unitrol 6000 Medium, which performs the same critical functions in the overall excitation system as the existing AVR. In place of the slngle-chanilel analog design of the existing AVR, the replacement AVR uses a two-channel digital design to improve reliability. The existing AVR excitation system is a clos~ feedback system (self-excited) with the output of the alternator-*
exciter being used to supply an AC input back to the AVR, which then converts it to DC for power to the exciter field. The new AVR uses dual channels of control and power output to the exciter field, including two independent 480 Vac power feeds introduced to support the dual-channel design to enhance reliability. One of the 480 Vac power feeds will supply the one power channel, while the second 480 Vac will supply the second channel for excitation power. The new AVR also includes a power system stabilizer (PSS) to enhance grid system stability. The new design modifies the main control room (MCR) controls, adds additional new indication required for monitoring and provides an excitation control terminal (ECT)
.d nf A ATTACHMENT C
LaSalle County Station 1 O CFR 50.59 Evaluation Summary Report
touchscreen panel at the AVR for local control and monitoring. New 480 Vac power sources are required for this modification. The existing two 125V DC power supplies will be re-used to provide the two channels protective and control interface functions. The new AVR will be placed in the same location as the existing AVR.
Summary of Conclusion for the Activity's 50.59 Review:
Failures in the AVR system could result in a turbine trip and challenges to the offsite power system. The replacement AVR system includes digital hardware and software, and significant changes to the human-machine interface (HMI). Since there is a potential to adversely affect UFSAR-described design functions, these aspects of the proposed activity were "screened in" for further assessment under the 50.59 Evaluation process.
Like the existing AVR, failures in the replacement AVR could result in a turbine trip and challenges to the offsite power system. The failure modes and effects of ttae replacement AVR are bounded by those of the existing AVR. The replacement AVR is a state-of-the art system widely used in the industry and is provided by a vendor with considerable experience.
The replacement AVR incorporates a dual-channel design in place of the single-channel design of the existing AVR; and additional sources of power have been provided by the station to support the dual-channel design. T~e operator interface with the AVR system has been simplified, and existing station practices ensure that the operators are familiar with the
- replacement system and with the required interface with the system.
The improvements in reliability provide assurance that there is no more than a minimal increase in the frequency of occurrence of an accident or in the likelihood of a malfunction
- . previously evaluated in the UFSAR. Previous analyses of events which could result from an AVR malfunction remain bounding; therefore, the radiological consequences of accidents or malfunctions are not affected. The AVR system does not interface with any other control systems, so there is no potential for a* common-cause failure affecting multiple plant systems that could create the possibility for an accident or malfunction not previously evaluated.
The proposed activity does not affecl a design basis limit for a fission product barrier.
Supporting analyses/evaluations for this activity have been performed in a manner consistent with standard industry practices and consistent with the evaluation requirements /
methodologies described in the UFSAR. This activity does not involve a test or experiment
-not described in the UFSAR. The proposed activity does not affect the Technical Specifications or the Facility Operating License.
Based on the* 50.59 Screening and Evaluation identified below including the completed plant system analyses and the Fire Protection Review along with this activity's EC as revised in planned Revision 001; which includes plant-transmission system analyses along with final relay settings and remaining parameter settings for installation with transmission system concurrence (Ref: ATI 04384167-19) and final vendor documents along with the remaining Manufacturer's test and evaluation documents along with plant EMI evaluation (Ref: ATI 04384167-18), all with acceptable results; may be implemented per plant procedures without obtaining a License Amendment.
A planned EC revision following installation; including ~s-commissioned parameters with
- settings along with related final calculations with acceptable results and final transmission system interface settings concurrence; is included in this 50.59 Review.

L21-98. Procedure LEP-VP-101 for Defeating 2A/2C Low Chill Water Temperature Trip
LEP-VP-101 Attachment 9 installs jumpers around temperature switches 2TSL-VP910A (2A VP Chiller) and 2TS-VP211 (2C VP Chiller) to preclude spurious VP compressor Trips. VP Chillers 2A and 2C have temperature switches on the chillers outlet that will trip the chillers on low chilled.water temperature: The function of the temperature switch is to prevent potentially freezing up the output of the chillers. An Operator special log will be established as a part of the temporary ch~nge to monitor the operating VP chillers every 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> to ensure that the c~ill water outlet temperature stays above 37F as recommended by the vendor and to shut down a chiller if the temperature challenges these limits. When more than one VP chiller is in.
operation, it may be necessary to shut down one chiller to increase loading to the other operating chiller to raise the chill water outlet temperature to normal limits.
Summary of Conclusion for the Activity's 50.59 Review:
The activity that is being evaluated is the use of operator action to shut down the operating VP chiller in place of the automatic trip function of the chiller outlet temperature switch. The use of manual. operator action to shut down an operating chiller does not introduce the possibility of a change in the frequency of an accident because the failure of a VP chiller is not an* initiator of.
any accident and no new failure modes are being introduced by the operator action. While the loss of drywell cooling can result in a plant transient such as a scram from high drywell pressure, the use of operator action to shut down the VP chiller when chill water temperature is trending too low will reduce the probability of a plant transient. The activity also does not result in a more than minimal increase in the likelihood of occurrence of a malfunction of an SSC important to safety previo~sly evaluated in the UFSAR; consequences of an accident previously evaluated 'in the !JFSAR, possibility of an accident of a different type that previously evaluated in the UFSAR, possibility for a malfunction of an SSC important to safety with a different results than previously evaluated in the UFSAR, impact to a containment pressure -
design basis limit for fission product banjers due to low heat load, not a departure from a method of evaluation described in the UFSAR used in establishing the design basis or in the safety analyses, or involve a change to technical specifications or facility operating license.
L21-100. Alternate Anchor Evaluation Methodology for CMTR Values (EC 634628)

~ddition, design analysis 1611 is being revised to evaluate the column anchorage using the net area of the anchor rods in lieu of the gross area. As identified in Issue Report {IR) 4070065, Certified Material Test Reports {CMTRs) were used in Calculations 1958 and 1611 for reinforcement yield strengths; however, the calcula~ons were revised to eliminate the use of the CMTRs and replace them with allowable stresses from the Code of Record.
Summary of Conclusion for the Activity's 50.59 Review:
No UFSAR described design functions are adversely affected as all SSCs remain fully qualified. The activity does not require any procedure changes, so there are no procedure
. changes which adversely affect' how UFSAR-described SSC design functions are performed or controlled. Revisions to design analyses 1958 and 1611 are done in accordance with approved station methodologies. However, the revision to design analysis 1611 utilizing Appendix 8 of ACI 349-01 constitutes altemative evaluation methodology and is evaluated in 50.59 Evaluation L21-100.
- The proposed change does not result in operation of equipment outside of design conditions
.or descriptions in the UFSAR. There are no physical plant changes, thus the activity cannot and does not involve a test or experiment. The Technical Specifications and Operating
. License are not changed by this activity. Therefore, since the activity involves alternative evaluation methodology per Screening Question 3, a 50.59 Evaluation was performed, which concluded that prior (NRC approval is not required.
L22-013. Manual Operator Action to Secure RHR Pump
Residual Heat Removal {RHR) operational and response procedures are being revised to provide guidance to prevent inadvertent draining of the reactor vessel during the use of Shutdown Cooling. This change established manual operator actions and controls to prevent draining the react~r vessel to the suppression pool if the RHR M.inimum Flow Valve were to automatically open due to low system flow.
Summary of Conclusion for the -Activity's 50.59 Review:
- The proposed activity does not change an SSC, but does take manual control of an automatic action of an SSC (automatic opening of RHR pump min flow valve). This change is conservative and eliminates the risk of draining the reactor vessel to the suppression pool during startup, operation, and shutdown of the RHR system in Shutdown Cooling mode.
Once adequate flow is established, the breaker for the Minimum Flow Valve is turned off,.
disabling the function to automatically open upon Jow pump flow. Operators will rely on flow indication and annunciator alarms to identify a low flow condition and manually secure the pump. The 50.59 Evaluation concluded that prior NRC approval is not required.
