Gayheart Regulatory Affairs Director May 17, 2022 Docket Nos.: 50-321 NL-22-0335 50-366 U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATTN: Document Control Desk Washington, D. C. 20555-0001 Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant - Units 1 & 2 Supplement to Application to Revise Technical Specifications to Adopt Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) Traveler TSTF-208, Revision 0, Extension of Time to Reach Mode 2 in LCO 3.0.3 and Administrative Correction for Duplicate Technical Specification 3.4.10 Ladies and Gentlemen:

By letter dated March 25, 2022, Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) for amendments to renewed facility operating licenses DPR-57 and NPF-5 to revise the Technical Specifications (TS) for the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant (HNP), Units 1 and 2, respectively. On April 29, 2022, the NRC transmitted a letter to SNC identifying the need for supplemental information for acceptance of the requested licensing action.

Based on the results of the acceptance review and discussion with the NRC, SNC proposes revised TS markups to more closely align with the intent of TSTF-208 and has revised the discussion of the change in Enclosure 1 of the original submittal. Specifically, the amendment proposes to extend the allowed time to reach Mode 2 in LCO 3.0.3 from 7 hours8.101852e-5 days <br />0.00194 hours <br />1.157407e-5 weeks <br />2.6635e-6 months <br /> to 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br />.

Therefore, Enclosures 1-3 of this submittal supersede Enclosures 1-3 of the March 25, 2022, SNC submittal contained in SNC letter number NL-22-0010. Based on this new request, the Bases changes included in Enclosure 4 of the original submittal are no longer needed and therefore, Enclosure 4 is removed. The administrative change requested in NL-22-0010 to delete duplicate TS 3.4.10 on TS Page 3.4-25 of each units TS remains.

provides an evaluation of the proposed TS changes which supersedes the evaluation included in Enclosure 1 to NL-22-0010. Enclosure 2 provides the existing TS pages marked-up to show the proposed changes for Units 1 and 2. Enclosure 3 provides revised (i.e. clean-typed) TS pages for Units 1 and 2. Note that no revised TS page is provided for TS Page 3.4-25 for each unit as SNC is requesting that page be deleted in its entirety.

SNC requests approval as originally stated in NL-22-0010. Once approved, the amendment will be implemented within 60 days.

This document contains no regulatory commitments.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission NL-22-0335 Page 2 In accordance with 10 CFR 50.91(b)(1), SNC is notifying the State of Georgia of this license amendment request supplement by transmitting a copy of this letter and enclosures to the designated State Official.

Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant - Units 1 & 2 Supplement to Application to Revise Technical Specifications to Adopt Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) Traveler TSTF-208, Revision 0, Extension of Time to Reach Mode 2 in LCO 3.0.3 and Administrative Correction for Duplicate Technical Specification 3.4.10 Basis for Proposed Change to NL-22-0335 Basis for Proposed Change E1-1 1.0 Summary Description In accordance with 10 CFR 50.90, "Application for amendment of license, construction permit, or early site permit," Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC) requests amendments to renewed facility operating licenses DPR-57 and NPF-5 for Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant (HNP) Units 1 and 2, respectively. Consistent with approved Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) Traveler TSTF-208, Revision 0, Extension of Time to Reach Mode 2 in LCO 3.0.3, the proposed amendments would revise the Technical Specification (TS) Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) 3.0.3 requirement to extend the allowed time to reach Mode 2 upon entry into LCO 3.0.3 from 7 hours8.101852e-5 days <br />0.00194 hours <br />1.157407e-5 weeks <br />2.6635e-6 months <br /> to 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br />.

2.0 Detailed Description 2.1 TSTF-208 and LCO 3.0.3 Bases The TS Bases states LCO 3.0.3 establishes the actions that must be implemented when an LCO is not met and either an associated Required Action and Completion Time is not met and no other Condition applies, or the condition of the unit is not specifically addressed by the associated Actions. This specification delineates the time limits for placing the unit in a safe mode or other specified condition when operation cannot be maintained within the limits for safe operation as defined by the LCO and its Actions.

LCO 3.0.3 allows one hour for the preparation of an orderly shutdown before initiating actions to place an affected unit in the appropriate Mode.

In accordance with TSTF-208, Revision 0, it has been determined that older Boiling Water Reactors (BWRs) can take longer than the available six hours to reach conditions where the plant can be placed in Mode 2. The intent of LCO 3.0.3 is to perform a controlled shutdown over that time period. This ensures that the unit shutdown would be completed in a prompt manner while not unduly increasing the likelihood of plant transients. However, experience at several older BWR plants has shown that six hours is not enough time to perform the intended controlled shutdown.

2.2 Current Technical Specifications Requirements Current TS, per LCO 3.0.3 upon entry, requires the unit to be in Mode 2 within 7 hours8.101852e-5 days <br />0.00194 hours <br />1.157407e-5 weeks <br />2.6635e-6 months <br />; Mode 3 within 13 hours1.50463e-4 days <br />0.00361 hours <br />2.149471e-5 weeks <br />4.9465e-6 months <br />; and Mode 4 within 37 hours4.282407e-4 days <br />0.0103 hours <br />6.117725e-5 weeks <br />1.40785e-5 months <br />. These times include one hour of preparation time.

2.3 Reason for the Proposed Change At HNP, review of plant data indicates approximately 16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br /> are typically required for an orderly, controlled shutdown. An orderly shutdown involves lowering reactor power to

~20% using control rods and reactor recirculation pumps, and then inserting a manual scram from ~20% power by placing the reactor mode switch in the Shutdown position.

While extending the allowed time to reach Mode 2 upon entry into LCO 3.0.3 from 7 hours8.101852e-5 days <br />0.00194 hours <br />1.157407e-5 weeks <br />2.6635e-6 months <br /> to 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br /> will still result in an aggressive shutdown, it provides additional time for a more orderly shutdown and reduces stress on the operators.

to NL-22-0335 Basis for Proposed Change E1-2 This change will align the TS LCO requirements with the plant's operational capabilities by allowing more time to accommodate the controlled shutdown as intended.

2.4 Description of the Proposed Changes The proposed amendment would extend the allowed time to reach Mode 2 upon entry into LCO 3.0.3 from 7 hours8.101852e-5 days <br />0.00194 hours <br />1.157407e-5 weeks <br />2.6635e-6 months <br /> to 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br />, consistent with approved TSTF-208, Revision 0, Extension of Time to Reach Mode 2 in LCO 3.0.3. This request does not change any of the other Mode time frame requirements contained in LCO 3.0.3.

Unrelated to TSTF-208, SNC requests that duplicate TS 3.4.10 be deleted from the HNP Unit 1 and Unit TS. Refer to Section 2.5.

2.5 Administrative Corrections Unrelated to TSTF-208, SNC requests that the following administrative corrections be made in the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 TS:

a. For the HNP Unit 1 TS, deletion of an older version of TS 3.4.10 on TS Page 3.4-25 last updated with HNP Unit 1 Amendment No. 266. TS 3.4.10 was correctly updated (page number change only) with HNP Unit 1 Amendment No. 277 as shown on TS Page 3.4-22. Thus, the older version should be deleted. Deletion of TS Page 3.4-25 will not introduce a page numbering concern as it is the last page in Section 3.4.
b. For the HNP Unit 2 TS, deletion of an older version of TS 3.4.10 on TS Page 3.4-25 last updated with HNP Unit 2 Amendment No. 210. TS 3.4.10 was correctly updated (page number change only) with HNP Unit 2 Amendment No. 221 as shown on TS Page 3.4-22. Thus, the older version should be deleted. Deletion of TS Page 3.4-25 will not introduce a page numbering concern as it is the last page in Section 3.4.

3.0 Technical Evaluation NUREG-1433, Revision 5, BWR/4 standard technical specifications, requires actions to be initiated within one hour to place the unit in Mode 2 within 7 hours8.101852e-5 days <br />0.00194 hours <br />1.157407e-5 weeks <br />2.6635e-6 months <br /> when in LCO 3.0.3.

Therefore, the NUREG effectively allows six hours from the start of the shutdown to reach Mode 2. The intent of this NUREG action time is to require a controlled shutdown in an expeditious, yet orderly, manner. This ensures a reactor shutdown is performed in a prompt manner while minimizing the risk of inadvertent transients that could result from undue time pressure. This is especially important since the plant, by being in LCO 3.0.3, would already be in a degraded condition.

In accordance with TSTF-208, Revision 0, it has been determined that older BWRs can take longer than the currently available six hours to reach conditions where the plant can be placed in Mode 2. HNP is a BWR/4 with 137 control rods.

to NL-22-0335 Basis for Proposed Change E1-3 At HNP, review of plant data indicates approximately 16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br /> are typically required for an orderly shutdown. An orderly shutdown involves lowering reactor power to ~20%

using control rods and reactor recirculation pumps, and then inserting a manual scram from ~20% power by placing the reactor mode switch in the Shutdown position. While extending the allowed time to reach Mode 2 upon entry into LCO 3.0.3 from 7 hours8.101852e-5 days <br />0.00194 hours <br />1.157407e-5 weeks <br />2.6635e-6 months <br /> to 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br /> will still result in an aggressive shutdown, it provides additional time for a more orderly shutdown and reduces stress on the operators.

This change will align the TS LCO requirements with the plant's operational capabilities by allowing more time to accommodate the controlled shutdown as intended.

Regarding the administrative correction requesting deletion of superseded versions of TS 3.4.10, there is no technical impact since HNP has been adhering to the latest version of TS 3.4.10. In addition, it is noted that for HNP Unit 1, there is no difference, other than page numbering and deletion of a revision bar, from the older version of TS 3.4.10 on TS Page 3.4-25 as issued with Amendment No. 266 to the newer, retained, version of TS 3.4.10 on TS Page 3.4-22 as issued with Amendment No. 277. Likewise, for HNP Unit 2, there is no difference, other than page numbering and deletion of a revision bar, from the older version of TS 3.4.10 on TS Page 3.4-25 as issued with Amendment No. 210 to the newer, retained, version of TS 3.4.10 on TS Page 3.4-22 as issued with Amendment No. 221.

4.0 Regulatory Evaluation 4.1 Applicable Regulatory Requirements / Criteria The following NRC requirements and guidance documents are applicable to the proposed change.

The regulations of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50.36, Technical specifications, establish the requirements related to the content of the TS.

Section 50.36(c)(2) states:

Limiting conditions for operation. Limiting conditions for operation are the lowest functional capability or performance levels of equipment required for safe operation of the facility. When a limiting condition for operation of a nuclear reactor is not met, the licensee shall shut down the reactor or follow any remedial action permitted by the technical specifications until the condition can be met.

The regulatory requirements in 10 CFR 50.36 are not specific regarding the actions to be followed when TS requirements are not met other than a plant shutdown. The proposed change would modify the required timeframe for reaching Mode 2 after entering LCO 3.0.3. The requirements of LCO 3.0.3 establish the actions that must be implemented when an LCO is not met and either an associated Required Action and Completion Time is not met and no other Condition applies, or the condition of the unit is not specifically addressed by the associated actions. This specification delineates the time limits for placing the unit in a safe mode or other specified condition when operation to NL-22-0335 Basis for Proposed Change E1-4 cannot be maintained within the limits for safe operation as defined by the LCO and its actions. The allowance is reasonable based on plant operating experience, the brief time period after entering Mode 2 until entering Mode 3, and considering the total time to be in Mode 3 of 13 hours1.50463e-4 days <br />0.00361 hours <br />2.149471e-5 weeks <br />4.9465e-6 months <br />, including one hour to initiate action, in LCO 3.0.3 remains unchanged.

4.2 Precedent The proposed changes are similar to NRC-approved license amendments issued to:

Duke Energy on January 9, 2019 for Brunswick Units 1 and 2 (NRC Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML18291B322),

Tennessee Valley Authority on November 21, 2000 for Browns Ferry Units 1, 2, and 3 (NRC ADAMS Accession No. ML003773700), and Exelon Nuclear on May 10, 2006 for Peach Bottom Units 1 and 2 (NRC ADAMS Accession No. ML061070292).

The approved TS changes are similar to the changes proposed in this request. The Brunswick, Browns Ferry, and Peach Bottom units are similar type (i.e., BWR/4) and vintage of reactor design to HNP.

4.3 No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination Analysis In accordance with 10 CFR 50.90, Application for amendment of license, construction permit, or early site permit, Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC) requests amendments to renewed facility operating licenses DPR-57 and NPF-5 for Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant (HNP) Units 1 and 2, respectively, to adopt Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) Traveler TSTF-208, Revision 0, Extension of time to reach Mode 2 in LCO 3.0.3. The proposed amendment would revise the allowed time to reach Mode 2 in Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) 3.0.3. Specifically, the TS change proposes to extend the allowed time to reach Mode 2 in LCO 3.0.3 from 7 hours8.101852e-5 days <br />0.00194 hours <br />1.157407e-5 weeks <br />2.6635e-6 months <br /> to 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br />. In addition, SNC requests an administrative adjustment to delete an older, redundant version of Technical Specification (TS) 3.4.10 in the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 TS.

SNC has evaluated whether a significant hazards consideration is involved with the proposed amendment(s) by focusing on the three standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92, "Issuance of amendment," as discussed below:

(1) Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?

Response: No The time frame to take response action in accordance with LCO 3.0.3 is not an initiating condition for any accident previously evaluated. The proposed change does not authorize the addition of any new plant equipment or systems, nor does it alter the assumptions of any accident analyses. The small increase in the time allowed to to NL-22-0335 Basis for Proposed Change E1-5 reach Mode 2 would not place the plant in any significantly increased probability of an accident occurring. The unit would already be preparing for a plant shutdown condition because of the one-hour requirement to initiate shutdown actions. There is no change in the time period to reach Mode 3. The Mode 3 condition is the point at which the plant reactor core is no longer critical (i.e., Hot Shutdown).

Therefore, since there is no change to the time period to reach the Hot Shutdown condition, the small change in the time to reach Mode 2 status does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

In addition, administrative deletion of an older, redundant version of TS 3.4.10 does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated because the newer, applicable version of TS 3.4.10 is maintained.

(2) Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

Response: No The proposed change to the allowed time to reach Mode 2 in LCO 3.0.3 does not require any modification to the plant or change equipment operation. The proposed change will not introduce failure modes that could result in a new accident, and the change does not alter assumptions made in the safety analysis. The proposed change will not alter the design configuration, or method of operation of plant equipment beyond its normal functional capabilities. The proposed change does not create any new credible failure mechanisms, malfunctions, or accident initiators.

SNC also proposes deletion of an older, redundant version of TS 3.4.10 but will maintain the newer, applicable version. This change is administrative in nature.

Therefore, the proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

(3) Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

Response: No The proposed change to the allowed time to reach Mode 2 in LCO 3.0.3 does not alter or exceed a design basis or safety limit. There is no change being made to safety analysis assumptions or the safety limits that would adversely affect plant safety as a result of the proposed change. Margins of safety are unaffected by the proposed change and the applicable requirements of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii) and 10 CFR 50, Appendix A will continue to be met.

SNC also proposes deletion of an older, redundant version of TS 3.4.10 but will maintain the newer, applicable version. This change is administrative in nature.

Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

to NL-22-0335 Basis for Proposed Change E1-6 Based on the above, SNC concludes that the proposed amendment does not involve a significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c), and, accordingly, a finding of "no significant hazards consideration" is justified.

4.4 Conclusion In conclusion, based on the considerations discussed above, (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) 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.

5.0 Environmental Considerations SNC has evaluated the proposed amendment for environmental considerations. The review has determined that the proposed amendment would change a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR 20. However, the proposed amendment does not involve: (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) a significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluent that may be released offsite, or (iii) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.
