HDI-IPEC-22-057 Enclosure DESCRIPTION AND EVALUATION OF PROPOSED CHANGES 1.0

SUMMARY

DESCRIPTION In accordance with Title10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.90, Application for amendment of license, construction permit,or early site permit, Holtec Decommissioning International, LLC (HDI), on behalf of Holtec Indian Point 2, LLC (IP2), requests an amendment to Renewed Facility License No. DPR-26. Following removal of all spent fuel from the IP2 Spent Fuel Pit (SFP) and its transfer to dry storage within an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI), the proposed License Amendment would: 1) Modify the IP2 staffing requirements in Appendix A, Permanently Defueled Technical Specifications (PDTS); 2)

Revise the 10 CFR Part 50 Facility License (FL) and Appendix C, Inter - Unit Fuel Transfer Technical Specifications, (Appendix C TS) to prohibit the transfer of Holtec Indian Point 3, LLC (IP3) spent fuel to the IP2 SFP; and 3) Incorporate a prohibition against the storage of spent fuel in the IP2 SFP in the Appendix A, PDTS.

In Reference 1, Entergy certified to the NRC, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)(i), that power operations ceased at IP2 on April 30, 2020. In addition,Entergy certified in accordance with 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)(ii), that the fuel was permanently removed from the lP2 reactor vessel and placed in the IP2 SFP on May 12, 2020.

HDI expects that transfer of the spent fuel from the IP2 SFP to dry storage within an ISFSI will be completed in February 2023. HDI is requesting the proposed revisions to the IP2 FL, PDTS, and Appendix C TS to modify the IP2 staffing requirements to be commensurate with the hazards associated with a permanently shutdown and defueled facility that has transferred all spent fuel from its SFP to dry storage within an ISFSI.

HDI requests review and approval of the proposed license amendments by February 1, 2023, and a thirty-day implementation period after the effective date of the License Amendment.

The existing FL, PDTS, and Appendix C TS contain requirements that provide for appropriate staffing for when spent fuel is stored in the IP2 SFP. As such, the existing FL, PDTS, and Appendix C TS provide a level of control in excess of that needed for safe storage and management of spent fuel stored within an ISFSI. The proposed FL, PDTS, and Appendix C TS revisions reflect the staffing requirements following the removal of all spent fuel from the IP2 SFP and will become applicable only after the last spent fuel assembly has been removed from the IP2 SFP and stored in an ISFSI.

HDI will be submitting another License Amendment Request (LAR) to fully convert the PDTS to an ISFSI-only configuration at a later date.

Pending Licensing Actions under NRC Review There are no pending LARs that impact this LAR.

2.0 PROPOSED CHANGE

S The proposed License Amendment would modify the FL, PDTS, and Appendix C TS to modify the IP2 staffing requirements to be commensurate with the hazards associated with a permanently shutdown and defueled facility that has transferred all spent fuel from its SFP to dry storage within an ISFSI. The PDTS revision includes a new SFP design requirement which prevents storage of spent fuel in the IP2 SFP. The FL and Appendix C TS are revised to eliminate the provisions for transferring spent fuel from IP3 to the IP2 SFP.

3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION

General Analysis Applicable to the Proposed Changes The proposed License Amendment would modify the PDTS by modifying IP2 staffing requirements that are no longer commensurate with the hazards existing at a facility where no spent fuel is stored in the IP2 SFP, and all spent fuel is stored in approved dry casks within an ISFSI. In addition, the proposed License Amendment adds a prohibition on storing spent fuel in the IP2 SFP and modifies the FL and Appendix C TS to eliminate the allowance to transfer IP3 spent fuel to the IP2 SFP. This proposed License Amendment will be implemented after NRC approval and within 30 days following HDI's notification to the NRC that all spent fuel assemblies have been transferred out of the IP2 SFP and placed in dry storage within an ISFSI.

HDI uses a decommissioning method in which most fluid systems are drained and the plant is left in a stable condition until final dismantlement. Administrative controls that are required to be in place when decontamination or dismantling activities of radioactive systems, structures, and components are being performed, are designed to minimize the likelihood of an off-normal or accident event, and thereby the consequences of such an event. The proposed changes to the existing FL, PDTS, and Appendix C TS do not have an adverse impact on these remaining decommissioning activities or any of their postulated radiological consequences.

Spent fuel will be stored in dry casks within an ISFSI, until it is shipped off site consistent with the schedules described in the Post Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report (Reference

3) and the irradiated Fuel Loading Plan (Reference 4).

During decommissioning with all spent fuel in dry storage within an ISFSI, there are no installed plant systems relied upon for the safe storage of spent fuel. In this condition, there are no credible accidents at IP2 whose prevention or mitigation would need to be addressed by the PDTS. In addition, the NRC approved spent fuel storage casks and canisters used for spent fuel storage are subject to their own Certificate of Compliance and Cask Technical Specifications (CTS).

Section 6 of the IP2 Defueled Safety Analysis Report (DSAR) (Reference 5) describes the design basis accidents (DBAs) related to the IP2 SFP. Postulated accidents were predicated on spent fuel being stored in the IP2 SFP. With the removal of the spent fuel from the IP2 SFP, there are no remaining spent fuel assemblies to be monitored in the IP2 SFP and there are no credible accidents at IP2 that require the actions of a Certified Fuel Handler, Shift Manager, or a Non-certified Operator to prevent occurrence or mitigate the consequences of an accident.

Once all the IP2 spent fuel is in dry storage within an ISFSI, the IP3 Shift Manager will be responsible for the Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC) site on a continuous 24-hour-per-day basis. The IP3 Shift Manager will be the senior management position at IPEC during off-hours

HDI-IPEC-22-057 Enclosure Page 3 of 12 and will be responsible for monitoring facility conditions and managing the activities at IPEC. If an abnormal condition or event occurs, the IP3 Shift Manager shall assess the condition; make an emergency declaration, if appropriate; and assume the position of Emergency Director in accordance with the IPEC Permanently Defueled Emergency Plan, with the overall responsibility to direct and control the emergency response.

Detailed Discussion A discussion of each section in the FL, PDTS, and Appendix C TS that are proposed to be changed, the proposed changes, and the basis for each change are provided below. Changes to the existing FL, PDTS, and Appendix C TS are identified in the markups shown in Attachment 1 to this Enclosure. Retyped pages showing the revised FL and PDTS are provided in to this Enclosure. No retyped pages are provided for the Appendix C TS, because they are eliminated in their entirety.

A change to the PDTS Table of Contents is proposed to reflect the removal of a section that will be eliminated in this LAR. This proposed change is administrative, and no further justification is required.

Proposed Changes to the Facility License License Condition 2.C.(2)

This License Condition provides a generic discussion of the Technical Specifications in Appen-dices A, B, and C. It is modified to eliminate the reference to the Appendix C TS and to update the reference License Amendment number. Following the transfer of all of the spent fuel from the IP2 SFP to dry storage within an ISFSI, inter-unit transfer of spent fuel from IP3 to IP2 will no longer be permitted. Thus, License Condition 2.P and the Appendix C TS are no longer nec-essary, and their elimination is acceptable.

License Condition 2.P This License Condition permits the transfer of IP3 spent fuel to the IP2 SFP subject to the conditions listed in the Appendix C TS. Additionally, the License Condition permits the transfer of IP3 spent fuel into approved dry storage casks for onsite storage.

Following the transfer of all the spent fuel from the IP2 SFP to dry storage within an ISFSI, inter-unit transfer of spent fuel from IP3 to IP2 will no longer be permitted. In addition, the capability for IP3 to store spent fuel in onsite dry storage is permitted by the general license conditions defined in 10 CFR 72. Thus, License Condition 2.P and the Appendix C TS are no longer necessary, and their elimination is acceptable.

Attachments The list of attachments in the FL is modified by eliminating the reference to the Appendix C TS.

Following the transfer of all the spent fuel from the IP2 SFP to dry storage within an ISFSI, inter-unit transfer of spent fuel from IP3 to IP2 will no longer be permitted. Thus, the Appendix C TS are no longer necessary, and its elimination is acceptable.

HDI-IPEC-22-057 Enclosure Page 4 of 12 Proposed Changes to Appendix A - Permanently Defueled Technical Specifications PDTS Section 1 .1, Definitions The terms Certified Fuel Handler and Non-certified Operator are proposed to be eliminated. The proposed changes to other PDTS sections as reflected in this submittal, either eliminate or relocate the information that references these terms. These terms will no longer be needed after all the spent fuel has been transferred from the IP2 SFP to dry storage within an ISFSI. Thus, it is acceptable to delete these definitions from the PDTS.

PDTS Section 4.3, Fuel Storage PDTS 4.3 and its subsections describe design features associated with spent fuel storage in the SFP.

Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) 3.7.11 provides a limit regarding the SFP water level. It is only applicable during movement of irradiated fuel assemblies in the SFP.

LCO 3.7.12 provides a limit regarding the SFP boron concentration. It is only applicable when fuel assemblies are stored in the SFP.

LCO 3.7.13 provides limits regarding the storage of fuel assemblies in the SFP. It is only applicable whenever any fuel assembly is stored in the SFP.

HDI proposes to modify PDTS 4.3 to eliminate the existing SFP protection requirements and to replace them with a new prohibition against the storage of spent fuel in the IP2 SFP. The new prohibition will state: Spent fuel shall not be stored in the Spent Fuel Pit. This new prohibition will permanently preclude storage of fuel in the SFP after the spent fuel is removed during the final off-load campaign. This is acceptable, because the requirements of PDTS 4.3, LCO 3.7.11, LCO 3.7.12, and LCO 3.7.13 are no longer applicable following the permanent removal of all spent fuel from the IP2 SFP.

PDTS Section 5.1, Responsibility PDTS 5.1.2 requires the Shift Manager to be responsible for the shift command function. This requirement is proposed to be eliminated.

As described in the existing PDTS 5.1.2, the IP2 shift command function is focused on operations involving the storage or movement of spent nuclear fuel within the IP2 SFP. After all spent fuel is permanently removed from the IP2 SFP, the need for the IP2 Shift Manager and the shift command function for spent fuel management no longer exists. The position of Shift Manager described in PDTS 5.1.2 is a holdover from the control room function of supervising multiple functions of an operating nuclear power plant.

With the removal of the spent fuel from the IP2 SFP, there are no remaining spent fuel assemblies to be monitored in the IP2 SFP and there are no credible accidents at IP2 that require the actions of a Certified Fuel Handler, Shift Manager, or a Non-certified Operator to prevent occurrence or mitigate the consequences of an accident. With the limited requirements for supervision of the passive dry fuel storage system utilized within the ISFSI or with respect to

HDI-IPEC-22-057 Enclosure Page 5 of 12 the decommissioning of the former IP2 power generation facility, the IP2 Shift Manager position and shift command function are no longer required; therefore, the proposed deletion of PDTS 5.1.2 is acceptable.

The IP3 Shift Manager will be responsible for the IPEC site on a continuous 24-hour-per-day basis. The IP3 Shift Manager will be the senior management position at IPEC during off-hours and will be responsible for monitoring facility conditions and managing the activities at IPEC. If an abnormal condition or event occurs, the IP3 Shift Manager shall assess the condition; make an emergency declaration, if appropriate; and assume the position of Emergency Director in accordance with the IPEC Permanently Defueled Emergency Plan, with the overall responsibility to direct and control the emergency response.

PDTS Section 5.2.1, Onsite and Offsite Organizations PDTS 5.2.1.d requires that the individuals who train the Certified Fuel Handlers and the individuals that carry out health physics or perform quality assurance functions have organization freedom from the onsite manager to ensure their ability to perform their assigned functions. The requirement is proposed to be modified as follows:

The individuals who train the CERTIFIED FUEL HANDLERS, individuals that carry out health physics, or perform quality assurance functions may report to the appropriate onsite manager; however, these individuals shall have sufficient organizational freedom to ensure their ability to perform their assigned functions.

With the removal of the spent fuel from the IP2 SFP, there are no remaining spent fuel assemblies to be monitored in the IP2 SFP and there are no credible accidents at IP2 that require the actions of a Certified Fuel Handler, Shift Manager, or a Non-certified Operator to prevent occurrence or mitigate the consequences of an accident. After all spent fuel is transferred from the IP2 SFP to dry storage within an ISFSI, storage of spent fuel in the IP2 SFP is prohibited, and inter-unit spent fuel transfer from IP3 to the IP2 SFP is no longer permitted, there will no longer be an organizational need for Certified Fuel Handlers or the associated training program. Therefore, this change will have no impact on continued safe storage and maintenance of spent fuel stored in the ISFSI.

PDTS 5.2.2, Facility Staff PDTS 5.2.2 is proposed to be deleted in its entirety. These administrative controls pertain to the facility staff organization and requirements when spent fuel is stored or moved within the IP2 SFP. With the removal of the spent fuel from the IP2 SFP, there are no remaining spent fuel assemblies to be monitored in the IP2 SFP and there are no credible accidents at IP2 that require the actions of a Certified Fuel Handler, Shift Manager, or a Non-certified Operator to prevent occurrence or mitigate the consequences of an accident. After all spent fuel is transferred from the IP2 SFP to dry storage within an ISFSI, storage of spent fuel in the IP2 SFP is prohibited, and inter-unit spent fuel transfer from IP3 to the IP2 SFP is no longer permitted, it is unnecessary to retain these spent fuel handling administrative controls. Therefore, the deletion of PDTS 5.2.2 after the fuel has been moved from the IP2 SFP to the ISFSI will have no impact on safe storage and maintenance of spent fuel in the ISFSI and is acceptable.

HDI-IPEC-22-057 Enclosure Page 6 of 12 The IP3 Shift Manager will be responsible for the IPEC site on a continuous 24-hour-per-day basis. The IP3 Shift Manager will be the senior management position at IPEC during off-hours and will be responsible for monitoring facility conditions and managing the activities at IPEC. If an abnormal condition or event occurs, the IP3 Shift Manager shall assess the condition; make an emergency declaration, if appropriate; and assume the position of Emergency Director in accordance with the IPEC Permanently Defueled Emergency Plan, with the overall responsibility to direct and control the emergency response.

PDTS 5.3, Facility Staff Qualifications PDTS 5.3.2 requires that an NRC approved training and retraining program for Certified Fuel Handlers to be maintained. As described in the existing PDTS 5.3.2, the IP2 shift command function is focused on operations involving the storage or movement of spent nuclear fuel within the IP2 SFP. With the removal of the spent fuel from the IP2 SFP, there are no remaining spent fuel assemblies to be monitored in the IP2 SFP and there are no credible accidents at IP2 that require the actions of a Certified Fuel Handler, Shift Manager, or a Non-certified Operator to prevent occurrence or mitigate the consequences of an accident. Following the transfer of all spent fuel from the IP2 SFP to dry storage within an ISFSI, storage of spent fuel in the IP2 SFP and transfers of spent fuel from IP3 to the IP2 SFP will be prohibited upon implementation of this License Amendment, thus there will no longer be a need for Certified Fuel Handlers or the associated training programs. Therefore, this proposed deletion will have no impact on safe storage and maintenance of spent fuel in the ISFSI and is acceptable.

The IP3 Shift Manager will be responsible for the IPEC site on a continuous 24-hour-per-day basis. The IP3 Shift Manager will be the senior management position at IPEC during off-hours and will be responsible for monitoring facility conditions and managing the activities at IPEC. If an abnormal condition or event occurs, make an emergency declaration, if appropriate; and assume the position of Emergency Director in accordance with the IPEC Permanently Defueled Emergency Plan, with the overall responsibility to direct and control the emergency response.

PDTS 5.7.2, High Radiation Areas with Dose Rates Greater than 1.0 rem/hour at 30 Centimeters from the Radiation Source or from any Surface Penetrated by the Radiation, but less than 500 rads/hour at 1 Meter from the Radiation Source or from any Surface Penetrated by the Radiation PDTS 5.7.2.a.1 requires that the door and gate keys for high radiation areas be maintained under the control of the IP2 Shift Supervisor or the RP Manager. This PDTS is proposed to be revised by replacing the reference to the IP2 Shift Supervisor with a reference to the IP3 Shift Manager. This is an administrative change to reflect that there will no longer be a shift supervisor specifically for IP2 following the transfer of all spent fuel from the IP2 SFP to dry storage within an ISFSI.

Proposed Changes to Appendix C - Inter - Unit Fuel Transfer Technical Specifications The Appendix C TS defined requirements that permitted the transfer of spent fuel from IP3 to the IP2 SFP. The Appendix C TS are proposed to be deleted in their entirety.

Following the transfer of all the spent fuel from the IP2 SFP to dry storage within an ISFSI, inter-unit transfer of spent fuel from IP3 to IP2 will no longer be permitted. Thus, the Appendix C TS will be unnecessary, and their elimination is acceptable.

4.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION

4.1 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria 10 CFR 50.36. Technical Specifications In 10 CFR 50.36, the Commission established its regulatory requirements related to the content of TS. In doing so, the Commission placed emphasis on those matters related to the prevention of accidents and mitigation of accident consequences; the Commission noted that applicants were expected to incorporate into their TS those items that are directly related to maintaining the integrity of the physical barriers designed to contain radioactivity. Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.36, TS are required to include items in the following five categories: (1) safety limits, limiting safety system settings, and limiting control settings; (2) LCOs; (3) surveillance requirements (SRs); (4) design features; and (5) administrative controls. However, the rule does not specify the particular requirements to be included in a plant's TS.

Addressing administrative controls, 10 CFR 50.36(c)(5) states that they " ... are the provisions relating to organization and management, procedures, recordkeeping, review and audit, and reporting necessary to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner." The particular administrative controls to be included in the TS, therefore, are the provisions that the Commission deems essential for the safe operation of the facility that are not already covered by other regulations.

10 CFR 50.36(c)(6), Decommissioning, applies only to nuclear power reactor facilities that have submitted the certifications required by 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1). For such facilities, TS involving safety limits, limiting safety system settings, and limiting control system settings; limiting conditions for operation; surveillance requirements; design features; and administrative controls will be developed on a case-by-case basis.

Section 6 of the IP2 DSAR describes the DBAs related to the IP2 SFP. Postulated accidents were predicated on spent fuel being stored in the IP2 SFP. With the removal of the spent fuel from the IP2 SFP, there are no remaining spent fuel assemblies to be monitored in the IP2 SFP and there are no credible accidents at IP2 that require the actions of a Certified Fuel Handler, Shift Manager, or a Non-certified Operator to prevent occurrence or mitigate the consequences of an accident.

The IP3 Shift Manager will be responsible for the IPEC site on a continuous 24-hour-per-day basis. The IP3 Shift Manager will be the senior management position at IPEC during off-hours and will be responsible for monitoring facility conditions and managing the activities at IPEC. If an abnormal condition or event occurs, the IP3 Shift Manager shall assess the condition; make an emergency declaration, if appropriate; and assume the position of Emergency Director in accordance with the IPEC Permanently Defueled Emergency Plan, with the overall responsibility to direct and control the emergency response.

10 CFR 50.51. Continuation of License 10 CFR 50.51 (b) states: Each license for a facility that has permanently ceased operations, continues in effect beyond the expiration date to authorize ownership and possession of the production or utilization facility, until the Commission notifies the licensee in writing that the license is terminated. During such period of continued effectiveness, the licensee shall:

HDI-IPEC-22-057 Enclosure Page 8 of 12 (1) Take actions necessary to decommission and decontaminate the facility and continue to maintain the facility, including, where applicable, the storage, control and maintenance of the spent fuel, in a safe condition, and (2) Conduct activities in accordance with all other restrictions applicable to the facility in accordance with the NRC regulations and the provisions of the specific 10 CFR part 50 license for the facility.

10 CFR 50.82. Termination of License 10 CFR 50.82(a)(2) states: Upon docketing of the certifications for permanent cessation of operations and permanent removal of fuel from the reactor vessel, or when a final legally effective order to permanently cease operations has come into effect, the 10 CFR part 50 license no longer authorizes operation of the reactor or emplacement or retention of fuel into the reactor vessel.

5.0 No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination In Reference 1, Entergy certified to the NRC, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)(i), that power operations ceased at IP2 on April 30, 2020. In addition, Entergy certified in accordance with 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)(ii), that the fuel was permanently removed from the lP2 reactor vessel and placed in the IP2 Spent Fuel Pit (SFP) on May 12, 2020.

HDI expects that the transfer of the spent fuel from the IP2 SFP to the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) will be completed in February 2023. A revision to the IP2 Facility License (FL), Appendix A Permanently Defueled Technical Specifications (PDTS), and Appendix C Inter - Unit Fuel Transfer Technical Specifications, (Appendix C TS) is proposed to modify the IP2 staffing requirements to be commensurate with the hazards associated with a permanently shutdown and defueled facility that has transferred all spent fuel from its SFP to dry storage within an ISFSI. With the removal of the spent fuel from the IP2 SFP, there are no remaining spent fuel assemblies to be monitored in the IP2 SFP and there are no credible accidents at IP2 that require the actions of a Certified Fuel Handler, Shift Manager, or a Noncer-tified Operator to prevent occurrence or mitigate the consequences of an accident.

The IP3 Shift Manager will be responsible for the Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC) site on a continuous 24-hour-per-day basis. The IP3 Shift Manager will be the senior management position at IPEC during off-hours and will be responsible for monitoring facility conditions and managing the activities at IPEC. If an abnormal condition or event occurs, the IP3 Shift Manager shall assess the condition; make an emergency declaration, if appropriate; and assume the position of Emergency Director in accordance with the IPEC Permanently Defueled Emergency Plan (Reference 2), with the overall responsibility to direct and control the emergency response.

In accordance with 10 CFR 50.92, HDI has reviewed the proposed changes and concludes that the changes do not involve a significant hazards consideration because the proposed changes satisfy the criteria in 10 CFR 50.92(c). These criteria require that operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed License Amendment would not: (1) involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; (2) create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated; or (3) involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

HDI-IPEC-22-057 Enclosure Page 9 of 12 The discussion below addresses each of these criteria and demonstrates that the proposed License Amendment for IP2 does not constitute a significant hazard.

1. Does the proposed License Amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?

Response: No.

Section 6 of the IP2 Defueled Safety Analysis Report (DSAR) described the design basis accidents (DBAs) related to the IP2 SFP. These postulated accidents are predicated on spent fuel being stored in the IP2 SFP. With the removal of the spent fuel from the IP2 SFP, there are no remaining spent fuel assemblies to be monitored in the IP2 SFP and there are no credible accidents at IP2 that require the actions of a Certified Fuel Handler, Shift Manager, or a Non-certified Operator to prevent occurrence or mitigate the consequences of an accident.

The proposed changes modify the IP2 staffing commensurate with the hazards associated with a permanently shutdown and defueled facility that has transferred all spent fuel from its SFP to dry storage within an ISFSI. After the removal of the spent fuel from the IP2 SFP and transfer to the ISFSI, no spent fuel assemblies will remain in the IP2 SFP. Coupled with a prohibition against storage of fuel in the IP2 SFP and the elimination of the allowance to transfer IP3 spent fuel to the IP2 SFP, the potential for fuel related accidents is removed.

The proposed changes do not have an adverse impact on the remaining decommissioning activities or any of their postulated consequences. The proposed changes related to the relocation of certain administrative requirements do not affect operating procedures or administrative controls that have the function of preventing or mitigating any accidents applicable to the safe management of spent fuel or decommissioning of the facility.

Therefore, the proposed License Amendment does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

2. Does the proposed License Amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accidentfrom any accident previously evaluated?

Response: No.

With the removal of the spent fuel from the IP2 SFP, there are no remaining spent fuel assemblies to be monitored in the IP2 SFP and there are no credible accidents at IP2 that require the actions of a Certified Fuel Handler, Shift Manager, or a Non-certified Operator to prevent occurrence or mitigate the consequences of an accident.

The proposed changes modify the IP2 staffing commensurate with the hazards associated with a permanently shutdown and defueled facility that has transferred all spent fuel from its SFP to dry storage within an ISFSI. After the removal of the spent fuel from the IP2 SFP and transfer to the ISFSI, no spent fuel assemblies will remain in the IP2 SFP. Coupled with a prohibition against storage of fuel in the IP2 SFP and the elimination of the allowance to transfer IP3 spent fuel to the IP2 SFP, the potential for fuel related accidents is removed.

HDI-IPEC-22-057 Enclosure Page 10 of 12 The proposed changes do not involve installation of new equipment or modification of existing equipment that could create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident.

Hence, the proposed changes do not result in a change to the way the facility or equipment is operated in a manner which could cause a new or different kind of accident initiator to be created.

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

3. Does the proposed License Amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

Response: No.

The proposed changes modify the IP2 staffing commensurate with the hazards associated with a permanently shutdown and defueled facility.

The proposed changes modify the IP2 staffing commensurate with the hazards associated with a permanently shutdown and defueled facility that has transferred all spent fuel from its SFP to dry storage within an ISFSI. After the removal of the spent fuel from the IP2 SFP and transfer to the ISFSI, no spent fuel assemblies will remain in the IP2 SFP. Coupled with a prohibition against storage of fuel in the IP2 SFP and the elimination of the allowance to transfer IP3 spent fuel to the IP2 SFP, the potential for fuel related accidents is removed.

The design basis and accident assumptions within the IP2 DSAR, PDTS, and Appendix C TS relating to safe management and safety of spent fuel in the IP2 SFP are no longer applicable. The proposed changes do not affect remaining plant operations, systems, or components supporting decommissioning activities.

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

Based on the above, HDI concludes that the proposed changes to the IP2 PDTS present no 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.

5.1 Precedent This proposed License Amendment is consistent, in part, with recently approved License Amendments issued for Kewaunee Power Station on June 7, 2017 (Reference 6), Vermont Yankee Power Station on August 15, 2018 (Reference 7), Crystal River Nuclear Plant on June 27, 2017 (Reference 8), and Fort Calhoun Station on December 11, 2019 (Reference 9). These License Amendments addressed the ISFSI only configuration in toto, while this LAR only deals with modifications to the IP2 staffing requirements commensurate with the hazards in a permanently shutdown and defueled facility that transferred all of the spent fuel from the IP2 SFP to dry storage within an ISFSI and establishes prohibitions from storing spent fuel in the IP2 SFP and transferring spent fuel from IP3 to the IP2 SFP.

HDI-IPEC-22-057 Enclosure Page 11 of 12 5.2 Conclusion Based on the analyses and considerations described 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 Commission's 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.

6.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

S This LAR meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion from environmental review set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9) as follows:

(i) The License Amendment involves no significant hazard consideration.

As described in Section 5.2 of this evaluation, the proposed License Amendment involves nosignificant hazards consideration.

(ii) There is no significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite.

The proposed License Amendment does not involve any physical alterations to the configuration that could lead to a change in the type or amount of effluent release offsite.

(iii) There is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.

The proposed License Amendment does not involve a significant increase in individual or cumulativeoccupational radiation exposure.

Based on the above, HDI concludes that the proposed License Amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion as set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of this License Amendment.

APPENDIX C TO FACILITY LICENSE FOR HOLTEC INDIAN POINT 2, LLC (HOLTEC IP2) AND HOLTEC DECOMMISSIONING INTERNATIONAL, LLC (HDI)

INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNIT No. 2 INTER-UNIT FUEL TRANSFER TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS PART I: SPENT FUEL TRANSFER CANISTER AND TRANSFER CASK SYSTEM FACILITY LICENSE NO. DPR-26 DOCKET NO. 50-247 Amendment No. 295

Facility License Appendix C - Inter-Unit Fuel Transfer Technical Specifications SPENT FUEL SHIELDED TRANSFER CANISTER AND TRANSFER CASK SYSTEM

1.0 DESCRIPTION

The spent fuel transfer system consists of the following components: (1) a spent fuel shielded transfer canister (STC), which contains the fuel; (2) a transfer cask (HI-TRAC 100D) (hereafter referred to as HI-TRAC), which contains the STC during transfer operations; and (3) a bottom missile shield.

The STC and HI-TRAC are designed to transfer irradiated nuclear fuel assemblies from the Indian Point 3 (IP3) spent fuel pit to the Indian Point 2 (IP2) spent fuel pit. A fuel basket within the STC holds the fuel assemblies and provides criticality control. The shielded transfer canister provides the confinement boundary, water retention boundary, gamma radiation shielding, and heat rejection capability. The HI-TRAC provides a water retention boundary, protection of the STC, gamma and neutron radiation shielding, and heat rejection capability. The STC contains up to 12 fuel assemblies.

The STC is the confinement system for the fuel. It is a welded, multi-layer steel and lead cylinder with a welded base-plate and bolted lid. The inner shell of the canister forms an internal cylindrical cavity for housing the fuel basket. The outer surface of the canister inner shell is buttressed with lead and steel shells for radiation shielding. The minimum thickness of the steel, lead and steel shells relied upon for shielding starting with the innermost shell are 3/4 inch steel, 2 3/4 inch lead and 3/4 inch steel, respectively. The canister closure incorporates two O-ring seals to ensure its confinement function. The confinement system consists of the canister inner shell, bottom plate, top flange, top lid, top lid O-ring seals, vent port seal and cover plate, and drain port seal and coverplate. The fuel basket, for the transfer of 12 Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) fuel assemblies, is a fully welded, stainless steel, honeycomb structure with neutron absorber panels attached to the individual storage cell walls under stainless steel sheathing.

The maximum gross weight of the fully loaded STC is 40 tons.

The HI-TRAC is a multi-layer steel and lead cylinder with a bolted bottom (or pool) and top lid.

For the fuel transfer operation the HI-TRAC is fitted with a solid top lid, an STC centering assembly, and a bottom missile shield. The inner shell of the transfer cask forms an internal cylindrical cavity for housing the STC. The outer surface of the cask inner shell is buttressed with intermediate lead and steel shells for radiation shielding. The minimum thickness of the steel, lead and steel shells relied upon for shielding starting with the innermost shell are 3/4 inch steel, 2 inch lead and 1 inch steel, respectively. An outside shell called the water jacket contains water for neutron shielding, with a minimum thickness of 5. The HI-TRAC bottom and top lids incorporate a gasket seal design to ensure its water confinement function. The water confinement system consists of the HI-TRAC inner shell, bottom lid, top lid, top lid seal, bottom lid seal, vent port seal, vent port cap and bottom drain plug.

The HI-TRAC provides a water retention boundary, protection of the STC, gamma and neutron radiation shielding, and heat rejection capability. The bottom missile shield is attached to the bottom of the HI-TRAC and provides tornado missile protection of the pool lid bolted joint. The HI-TRAC can withstand a tornado missile in other areas without the need for additional shielding. The STC centering assembly provides STC position control within the HI-TRAC and also acts as an internal impact limiter in the event of a non-mechanistic tipover accident.

Logical Connectors 1.2 1.0 USE AND APPLICATION 1.2 Logical Connectors PURPOSE The purpose of this section is to explain the meaning of logical connectors.

Logical connectors are used in Technical Specifications (TS) to discriminate between, and yet connect, discrete Conditions, Required Actions, Completion Times, Surveillances, and Frequencies. The only logical connectors that appear in TS are AND and OR. The physical arrangement of these connectors constitutes logical conventions with specific meanings.

BACKGROUND Several levels of logic may be used to state Required Actions. These levels are identified by the placement (or nesting) of the logical connectors and by the number assigned to each Required Action. The first level of logic is identified by the first digit of the number assigned to a Required Action and the placement of the logical connector in the first level of nesting (i.e., left justified with the number of the Required Action).

The successive levels of logic are identified by additional digits of the Required Action number and by successive indentions of the logical connectors.

When logical connectors are used to state a Condition, Completion Time, Surveillance, or Frequency, only the first level of logic is used, and the logical connector is left justified with the statement of the Condition, Completion Time, Surveillance, or Frequency.

EXAMPLES The following examples illustrate the use of logical connectors.

EXAMPLE 1.2-1 ACTIONS CONDITION REQUIRED ACTION COMPLETION TIME A. LCO not met. A.1 VERIFY . . .

AND A.2 Restore . . .

In this example the logical connector AND is used to indicate that when in Condition A, both Required Actions A.1 and A.2 must be completed.

OR A.2.1 Verify . . .

AND A.2.2.1 Reduce . . .

OR A.2.2.2 Perform . . .

OR A.3 Remove . . .

This example represents a more complicated use of logical connectors.

Required Actions A.1, A.2, and A.3 are alternative choices, only one of which must be performed as indicated by the use of the logical connector OR and the left justified placement. Any one of these three ACTIONS may be chosen. If A.2 is chosen, then both A.2.1 and A.2.2 must be performed as indicated by the logical connector AND. Required Action A.2.2 is met by performing A.2.2.1 or A.2.2.2. The indented position of the logical connector OR indicates that A.2.2.1 and A.2.2.2 are alternative choices, only one of which must be performed.

INDIAN POINT 2 1.2-3 Amendment 268

Completion Times 1.3 1.0 USE AND APPLICATION 1.3 Completion Times PURPOSE The purpose of this section is to establish the Completion Time convention and to provide guidance for its use.

BACKGROUND Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCOs) specify the lowest functional capability or performance levels of equipment required for safe operation of the facility. The ACTIONS associated with an LCO state Conditions that typically describe the ways in which the requirements of the LCO can fail to be met. Specified with each stated Condition are Required Action(s) and Completion Times(s).

DESCRIPTION The Completion Time is the amount of time allowed for completing a Required Action. It is referenced to the time of discovery of a situation (e.g., equipment or variable not within limits) that requires entering an ACTIONS Condition unless otherwise specified, providing the Spent Fuel Shielded Transfer Canister and Transfer Cask System is in a specified condition stated in the Applicability of the LCO. Required Actions must be completed prior to the expiration of the specified Completion Time. An ACTIONS Condition remains in effect and the Required Actions apply until the Condition no longer exists or the Spent Fuel Shielded Transfer Canister and Transfer Cask System is not within the LCO Applicability.

Once a Condition has been entered, subsequent subsystems, components, or variables expressed in the Condition, discovered to be not within limits, will not result in separate entry into the Condition unless specifically stated. The Required Actions of the Condition continue to apply to each additional failure, with Completion Times based on initial entry into the Condition.

The Note above the ACTIONS table is a method of modifying how the Completion Time is tracked. If this method of modifying how the Completion Time is tracked was applicable only to a specific Condition, the Note would appear in that Condition rather than at the top of the ACTIONS Table.

The Note allows Condition A to be entered separately for each component, and Completion Times tracked on a per component basis.

When a component is determined to not meet the LCO, Condition A is entered and its Completion Time starts. If subsequent components are determined to not meet the LCO, Condition A is entered for each component and separate Completion Times start and are tracked for each component.

IMMEDIATE When "Immediately" is used as a Completion Time, the Required Action COMPLETION should be pursued without delay and in a controlled manner.

Frequency 1.4 1.0 USE AND APPLICATION 1.4 Frequency PURPOSE The purpose of this section is to define the proper use and application of Frequency requirements.

DESCRIPTION Each Surveillance Requirement (SR) has a specified Frequency in which the Surveillance must be met in order to meet the associated Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO). An understanding of the correct application of the specified Frequency is necessary for compliance with the SR.

The "specified Frequency" is referred to throughout this section and each of the Specifications of Section 3.0, Surveillance Requirement (SR)

Applicability. The "specified Frequency" consists of the requirements of the Frequency column of each SR.

Situations where a Surveillance could be required (i.e., its Frequency could expire), but where it is not possible or not desired that it be performed until sometime after the associated LCO is within its Applicability, represent potential SR 3.0.4 conflicts. To avoid these conflicts, the SR (i.e., the Surveillance or the Frequency) is stated such that it is only "required" when it can be and should be performed. With an SR satisfied, SR 3.0.4 imposes no restriction.

(continued)

INDIAN POINT 2 1.4-1 Amendment 268

Frequency 1.4 1.4 Frequency (continued)

EXAMPLES The following examples illustrate the various ways that Frequencies are specified.

EXAMPLE 1.4-1 SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS SURVEILLANCE FREQUENCY Verify pressure within limit 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> Example 1.4-1 contains the type of SR most often encountered in the Technical Specifications (TS). The Frequency specifies an interval (12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />) during which the associated Surveillance must be performed at least one time. Performance of the Surveillance initiates the subsequent interval. Although the Frequency is stated as 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />, an extension of the time interval to 1.25 times the interval specified in the Frequency is allowed by SR 3.0.2 for operational flexibility. The measurement of this interval continues at all times, even when the SR is not required to be met per SR 3.0.1 (such as when the equipment or variables are outside specified limits, or the facility is outside the Applicability of the LCO). If the interval specified by SR 3.0.2 is exceeded while the facility is in a condition specified in the Applicability of the LCO, the LCO is not met in accordance with SR 3.0.1.

If the interval as specified by SR 3.0.2 is exceeded while the facility is not in a condition specified in the Applicability of the LCO for which performance of the SR is required, the Surveillance must be performed within the Frequency requirements of SR 3.0.2 prior to entry into the specified condition. Failure to do so would result in a violation of SR 3.0.4.

Once within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> prior to starting activity AND 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> thereafter Example 1.4-2 has two Frequencies. The first is a one time performance Frequency, and the second is of the type shown in Example 1.4-1. The logical connector "AND" indicates that both Frequency requirements must be met. Each time the example activity is to be performed, the Surveillance must be performed within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> prior to starting the activity.

The use of "once" indicates a single performance will satisfy the specified Frequency (assuming no other Frequencies are connected by "AND").

This type of Frequency does not qualify for the 25% extension allowed by SR 3.0.2.

"Thereafter" indicates future performances must be established per SR 3.0.2, but only after a specified condition is first met (i.e., the "once" performance in this example). If the specified activity is canceled or not performed, the measurement of both intervals stops. New intervals start upon preparing to restart the specified activity.

SR Applicability 3.0 3.0 SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENT (SR) APPLICABILITY SR 3.0.1 SRs shall be met during the specified conditions in the Applicability for individual LCOs, unless otherwise stated in the SR. Failure to meet a Surveillance, whether such failure is experienced during the performance of the Surveillance or between performances of the Surveillance, shall be failure to meet the LCO. Failure to perform a Surveillance within the specified Frequency shall be failure to meet the LCO except as provided in SR 3.0.3. Surveillances do not have to be performed on equipment or variables outside specified limits.

SR 3.0.2 The specified Frequency for each SR is met if the Surveillance is performed within 1.25 times the interval specified in the Frequency, as measured from the previous performance or as measured from the time a specified condition of the Frequency is met.

For Frequencies specified as once, the above interval extension does not apply. If a Completion Time requires periodic performance on a once per... basis, the above Frequency extension applies to each performance after the initial performance.

Exceptions to this Specification are stated in the individual Specifications.

SR 3.0.3 If it is discovered that a Surveillance was not performed within its specified Frequency, then compliance with the requirement to declare the LCO not met may be delayed, from the time of discovery, up to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> or up to the limit of the specified Frequency, whichever is less. This delay period is permitted to allow performance of the Surveillance.

If the Surveillance is not performed within the delay period, the LCO must immediately be declared not met, and the applicable Condition(s) must be entered.

When the Surveillance is performed within the delay period and the Surveillance is not met, the LCO must immediately be declared not met, and the applicable Condition(s) must be entered.

SR 3.0.4 Entry into a specified condition in the Applicability of an LCO shall not be made unless the LCO's Surveillances have been met within their specified Frequency.

From the structural standpoint, the weld acceptance criteria are established to ensure that any departure from the ideal, continuous fillet weld seam would not alter the primary bending stresses on which the design of the fuel baskets is predicated. Stated differently, the permitted weld discontinuities are limited in size to ensure that they remain classifiable as local stress elevators (peak stress, F, in the ASME Code for which specific stress intensity limits do not apply).
