Required Action and associated Completion Time not met.
B.1 Be in MODE 3.
AND B.2 Be in MODE 4.
12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> 36 hours Required Action A.1 has two Completion Times. The 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> Completion Time begins at the time the Condition is entered and each "Once per 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> thereafter" interval begins upon performance of Required Action A.1.
If, after Condition A is entered, Required Action A.1 is not met within either the initial 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> or any subsequent 8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> interval from the previous performance (plus the extension allowed by SR 3.0.2),
Condition B is entered. The Completion Time clock for Condition A does not stop after Condition B is entered, but continues from the time Condition A was initially entered. If Required Action A.1 is met after Condition B is entered, Condition B is exited and operation may continue in accordance with Condition A, provided the Completion Time for Required Action A.2 has not expired.
(continued)
Completion Times 1.3 HATCH UNIT 1 1.3-12 Amendment No. 319 1.3 Completion Times EXAMPLES EXAMPLE 1.3-8 (continued)
ACTIONS CONDITION REQUIRED ACTION COMPLETION TIME A. One Subsystem inoperable.
A.1 Restore Subsystem to OPERABLE status.
7 days OR In accordance with the Risk Informed Completion Time Program B. Required Action and associated Completion Time not met.
B.1 Be in MODE 3.
AND B.2 Be in MODE 4.
12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> 36 hours When a subsystem is declared inoperable, Condition A is entered. The 7 day Completion Time may be applied as discussed in Example 1.3-2.
However, the licensee may elect to apply the Risk Informed Completion Time Program which permits calculation of a Risk Informed Completion Time (RICT) that may be used to complete the Required Action beyond the 7 day Completion Time. The RICT cannot exceed 30 days. After the 7 day Completion Time has expired, the subsystem must be restored to OPERABLE status within the RICT or Condition B must also be entered.
The Risk Informed Completion Time Program requires recalculation of the RICT to reflect changing plant conditions. For planned changes, the revised RICT must be determined prior to implementation of the change in configuration. For emergent conditions, the revised RICT must be determined within the time limits of the Required Action Completion Time (i.e., not the RICT) or 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> after the plant configuration change, whichever is less.
(continued)
Completion Times 1.3 HATCH UNIT 1 1.3-13 Amendment No. 319 1.3 Completion Times EXAMPLES EXAMPLE 1.3-8 (continued)
If the 7 day Completion Time clock of Condition A has expired and subsequent changes in plant condition result in exiting the applicability of the Risk Informed Completion Time Program without restoring the inoperable subsystem to OPERABLE status, Condition B is also entered and the Completion Time clocks for Required Actions B.1 and B.2 start.
If the RICT expires or is recalculated to be less than the elapsed time since the Condition was entered and the inoperable subsystem has not been restored to OPERABLE status, Condition B is also entered and the Completion Time clocks for Required Actions B.1 and B.2 start. If the inoperable subsystems are restored to OPERABLE status after Condition B is entered, Condition A is exited, and therefore, the Required Actions of Condition B may be terminated.
IMMEDIATE When "Immediately" is used as a Completion Time, the Required Action COMPLETION should be pursued without delay and in a controlled manner.

- 4.
In Regulatory Guide 1.129, Regulatory Position 3, Subsection 5.4.1, State of Charge Indicator, the following statements in paragraph (d) may be omitted: When it has been recorded that the charging current has stabilized at the charging voltage for three consecutive hourly measurements, the battery is near full charge. These measurements shall be made after the initially high charging current decreases sharply and the battery voltage rises to approach the charger output voltage.
- 5.
In lieu of RG 1.129, Regulatory Position 7, Subsection 7.6, Restoration, the following may be used: Following the test, record the float voltage of each cell of the string.
- b.
The program shall include the following provisions:
- 1.
Actions to restore battery cells with float voltage < 2.13 V;
- 2.
Actions to determine whether the float voltage of the remaining battery cells is 2.13 V when the float voltage of a battery cell has been found to be < 2.13 V;
- 3.
Actions to equalize and test battery cells that had been discovered with electrolyte level below the top of the plates;
- 4.
Limits on average electrolyte temperature, battery connection resistance, and battery terminal voltage; and
- 5.
A requirement to obtain specific gravity readings of all cells at each discharge test, consistent with manufacturer recommendations.
5.5.16 Risk Informed Completion Time Program This program provides controls to calculate a Risk Informed Completion Time (RICT) and must be implemented in accordance with NEI 06-09-A, Revision 0, Risk-Managed Technical Specifications (RMTS) Guidelines. The program shall include the following:
- a.
The RICT may not exceed 30 days;
- b.
A RICT may only be utilized in MODE 1; (Continued)
Programs and Manuals 5.5 HATCH UNIT 1 5.0-19a Amendment No. 319 5.5 Programs and Manuals 5.5.16 Risk Informed Completion Time Program (continued)
- c.
When a RICT is being used, any change to the plant configuration, as defined in NEI 06-09-A, Appendix A, must be considered for the effect on the RICT.
- 1.
For planned changes, the revised RICT must be determined prior to implementation of the change in configuration.
- 2.
For emergent conditions, the revised RICT must be determined within the time limits of the Required Action Completion Time (i.e., not the RICT) or 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> after the plant configuration change, whichever is less.
- 3.
Revising the RICT is not required if the plant configuration change would lower plant risk and would result in a longer RICT.
- d.
For emergent conditions, if the extent of condition evaluation for inoperable structures, systems, or components (SSCs) is not complete prior to exceeding the Completion Time, the RICT shall account for the increased possibility of common cause failure (CCF) by either:
- 1.
Numerically accounting for increased possibility of CCF in the RICT calculation; or
- 2.
Risk Management Actions (RMAs) not already credited in the RICT calculation shall be implemented that support redundant or diverse SSCs that perform the function(s) of the inoperable SSCs, and, if practicable, reduce the frequency of initiating events that challenge the function(s) performed by the inoperable SSCs.
- e.
The risk assessment approaches and methods shall be acceptable to the NRC. The plant PRA shall be based on the as-built, as-operated, and maintained plant; and reflect the operating experience at the plant, as specified in Regulatory Guide 1.200, Revision 2. Methods to assess the risk from extending the Completion Times must be PRA methods used to support this license amendment, or other methods approved by the NRC for generic use; and any change in the PRA methods to assess risk that are outside these approval boundaries require prior NRC approval.

12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> 36 hours When a subsystem is declared inoperable, Condition A is entered. The 7 day Completion Time may be applied as discussed in Example 1.3-2.
However, the licensee may elect to apply the Risk Informed Completion Time Program which permits calculation of a Risk Informed Completion Time (RICT) that may be used to complete the Required Action beyond the 7 day Completion Time. The RICT cannot exceed 30 days. After the 7 day Completion Time has expired, the subsystem must be restored to OPERABLE status within the RICT or Condition B must also be entered.
The Risk Informed Completion Time Program requires recalculation of the RICT to reflect changing plant conditions. For planned changes, the revised RICT must be determined prior to implementation of the change in configuration. For emergent conditions, the revised RICT must be determined within the time limits of the Required Action Completion Time (i.e., not the RICT) or 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> after the plant configuration change, whichever is less.

If the RICT expires or is recalculated to be less than the elapsed time since the Condition was entered and the inoperable subsystem has not been restored to OPERABLE status, Condition B is also entered and the Completion Time clocks for Required Actions B.1 and B.2 start. If the inoperable subsystems are restored to OPERABLE status after Condition B is entered, Condition A is exited, and therefore, the Required Actions of Condition B may be terminated.

EDWIN I. HATCH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-321 AND 50-366
1.0 INTRODUCTION
By application dated October 26, 2021 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML21300A153), as supplemented by letters dated April 29, 2022 (ML22119A144), August 18, 2022 (ML22230C465), September 30, 2022 (ML22273A096), and October 27, 2022 (ML22300A260), Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc. (SNC, the licensee) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) for Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant, Units Nos. 1 and 2 (Hatch). The amendments would revise Hatch technical specification (TS) requirements to permit the use of risk-informed completion times (RICTs) for actions to be taken when limiting conditions for operation (LCOs) are not met. The proposed changes are based on Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) Traveler TSTF-505, Revision 2, Provide Risk-Informed Extended Completion Times - RITSTF Initiative 4b, dated July 2, 2018 (ML18183A493). The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, the Commission) issued a final revised model safety evaluation (SE) to be used when preparing a plant-specific SE of an LAR to adopt TSTF-505, Revision 2, on November 21, 2018 (ML18269A041).
SNC has proposed variations from the TS changes approved in TSTF-505, Revision 2, which are provided in Section 2.3 of the LAR, and evaluated in Section 3.1 of this SE.
The NRC staff participated in a regulatory audit in April 2022 to ascertain the information needed to support its review of the application and to develop requests for additional information (RAIs), as needed. Following the regulatory audit, SNC submitted supplement letters dated April 29, 2022, August 18, 2022, and September 30, 2022, that included additional information resulting from the audit. On July 7, 2022, the NRC staff issued an audit summary (ML22186A002).
As part of its review of the supplemental information, the NRC staff issued RAIs by email correspondence dated May 20, and June 6, 2022 (ML22140A119 and ML22157A354, respectively). SNC provided responses to the RAIs by letter dated August 18, 2022, and a supplement, dated September 30, 2022. The supplement dated October 27, 2022, provided revised marked-up TS pages to account for Hatch Amendment Nos. 318 and 263 (ML22293A030).
The supplemental letters dated April 29, August 18, September 30, and October 27, 2022, provided additional information that clarified the application, did not expand the scope of the application as originally noticed, and did not change the NRC staffs original proposed no significant hazards consideration determination as published in the Federal Register on December 28, 2021 (86 FR 73819).
2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50, Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities, provides the general provisions for the licensing of production and utilization facilities. The general provisions include but are not limited to establishing the regulatory requirements that a licensee must adhere to for the submittal of a license application. The NRC staff has identified the following applicable Sections within 10 CFR Part 50, along with the provision provided in 10 CFR Part 20, for the NRC staffs review of SNCs application to adopt TSTF-505, Revision 2:
10 CFR 50.36, Technical Specifications, paragraphs (c)(2), Limiting conditions for operation, and (c)(5), Administrative controls.
10 CFR 50.55a, Codes and standards, paragraph (h), Protection and safety systems.
10 CFR 50.65, Requirements for monitoring the effectiveness of maintenance at nuclear power plants (i.e., the Maintenance Rule).
10 CFR Part 20, Standards for Protection Against Radiation.
NRC Regulatory Guides (RGs) provide one way to ensure that the codified regulations continue to be met. The NRC staff considered the following guidance, along with industry guidance endorsed by the NRC, during its review of the proposed changes:
RG 1.200, Revision 2, An Approach for Determining the Technical Adequacy of Probabilistic Risk Assessment Results for Risk-Informed Activities, (ML090410014).
RG 1.174, Revision 3, An Approach for Using Probabilistic Risk Assessment in Risk-Informed Decisions on Plant-Specific Changes to the Licensing Basis, (ML13009A190).
RG 1.177, Revision 2, Plant-Specific, Risk-Informed Decisionmaking: Technical Specifications, (ML20164A034).
NUREG-1855, Revision 1, Guidance on the Treatment of Uncertainties Associated with PRAs in Risk-Informed Decisionmaking, Final Report (ML17062A466).
NUREG-0800, Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants: LWR [Light-Water Reactor] Edition (SRP), Section 19.2, Review of Risk Information Used to Support Permanent Plant-Specific Changes to the Licensing Basis: General Guidance, (ML071700658), and Section 16.1, Risk-Informed Decision Making: Technical Specifications, (ML070380228).
Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) Topical Report (TR) 06-09-A, Risk-Informed Technical Specifications Initiative 4b, Risk-Managed Technical Specifications (RMTS) Guidelines
(ML122860402), which provides guidance for risk-informed TSs. The NRC staff issued a final SE approving NEI TR 06-09 on May 17, 2007 (ML071200238).
NUREG-1433, Revision 5, Standard Technical Specifications General Electric BWR/4 Plants, Volume 1, Specifications, (ML21272A357).
SNCs submittal is supported by an evaluation of the results of peer reviews and self-assessments to demonstrate consistency with the NRC guidance in Revision 2 of RG 1.200 (ML090410014). The RG has been updated to Revision 3 (ML20238B871). The NRC evaluated the licensees submittal for consistency with NRC-approved NEI TR 06-09-A and did not evaluate applicability against RG 1.200, Revision 3.
2.1 Description of Risk-Informed Completion Time Program The TS LCOs are the lowest functional capability or performance levels of equipment required for safe operation of the facility. When an LCO is not met, the licensee shall shut down the reactor or follow any remedial or required action permitted by the TSs until the condition can be met. Specified with each stated remedial action (ACTIONS) are Condition(s), Required Action(s), Completion Time(s) (CT), and associated Note(s). The CTs are referred to as the front stops in the context of this SE. For certain Conditions, the TSs require exiting the Mode of Applicability of an LCO (i.e., shut down the reactor).
SNCs submittal requested approval to add an RICT Program to the Administrative Controls section of the Hatch TSs and modify selected CTs to permit extending the CTs, provided risk is assessed and managed as described in NEI TR 06-09-A. Consistent with Table 1, Conditions Requiring Additional Technical Justification NUREG-1433, BWR/4 STS [Standard Technical Specifications], of TSTF-505, Rev. 2. In Section 2.3 of the LAR, the licensee discusses 10 variations from the TS changes described in TSTF-505 or NRC model safety evaluation. The NRC staff review of these variations and the justification is provided in Section 3.1 of this SE.
SNC is proposing no changes to the design of the plant or any operating parameter, and no new changes to the design basis as described in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR). The effect of the proposed changes when implemented will allow TS CTs to vary, based on the risk significance of the given plant configuration (i.e., the equipment out of service at any given time), provided that the system(s) retain(s) the capability to perform the applicable safety function(s) without any further failures (e.g., one train of a two-train system is inoperable).
These restrictions on inoperability of all required trains of a system ensure that consistency with the defense-in-depth (DID) philosophy is maintained by following existing guidance when the capability to perform TS safety function(s) is lost.
The proposed RICT Program uses plant-specific operating experience for component reliability and availability data. Thus, the allowances permitted by the RICT Program are directly reflective of actual component performance in conjunction with component risk significance.
For TS use and application:
Example 1.3-8 is proposed to be added to TS 1.3, Completion Times, and would read as follows:
EXAMPLE 1.3-8 ACTIONS CONDITION REQUIRED ACTION COMPLETION TIME A. One subsystem inoperable.
A.1 Restore subsystem to OPERABLE status.
7 days OR In accordance with the Risk Informed Completion Time Program B. Required Action and associated Completion Time not met.
B.1 Be in MODE 3.
AND B.2 Be in MODE 4.
12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> 36 hours.
When a subsystem is declared inoperable, Condition A is entered.
The 7 day Completion Time may be applied as discussed in Example 1.3-2. However, the licensee may elect to apply the Risk Informed Completion Time Program which permits calculation of a Risk Informed Completion Time (RICT) that may be used to complete the Required Action beyond the 7 day Completion Time.
The RICT cannot exceed 30 days. After the 7 day Completion Time has expired, the subsystem must be restored to OPERABLE status within the RICT or Condition B must also be entered.
The Risk Informed Completion Time Program requires recalculation of the RICT to reflect changing plant conditions. For planned changes, the revised RICT must be determined prior to implementation of the change in configuration. For emergent conditions, the revised RICT must be determined within the time limits of the Required Action Completion Time (i.e., not the RICT) or 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> after the plant configuration change, whichever is less.
If the 7 day Completion Time clock of Condition A has expired and subsequent changes in plant condition result in exiting the applicability of the Risk Informed Completion Time Program without restoring the inoperable subsystem to OPERABLE status, Condition B is also entered, and the Completion Time clocks for Required Actions B.1 and B.2 start.
If the RICT expires or is recalculated to be less than the elapsed time since the Condition was entered and the inoperable subsystem has not been restored to OPERABLE status, Condition B is also entered and the Completion Time clocks for Required Actions B.1 and B.2 start. If the inoperable subsystems are restored to OPERABLE status after Condition B is entered, Conditions A is exited, and therefore, the Required Actions of Condition B may be terminated.
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
An acceptable approach for making risk-informed decisions about proposed TS changes, including both permanent and temporary changes, is to demonstrate that the proposed licensing basis (LB) changes meet the five key principles provided in Section C of RG 1.174, Revision 3 (ML17317A256), and the three-tiered approach outlined in Section C of RG 1.177, Revision 2 (ML20164A034).
The key principles as described in RG 1.174, Revision 3, are:
- 1. The proposed licensing basis change meets the current regulations unless it is explicitly related to a requested exemption (i.e., a specific exemption under 10 CFR 50.12).
- 2. The proposed licensing basis change is consistent with the defense-in-depth philosophy.
- 3. The proposed licensing basis change maintains sufficient safety margins.
- 4. When proposed licensing basis changes result in an increase in risk, the increases should be small and consistent with the intent of the Commissions policy statement on safety goals for the operations of nuclear power plants.
- 5. The impact of the proposed licensing basis change should be monitored using performance measurement strategies.
The key principles in RG 1.177, Revision 2, are:
- 1. Compliance with Current Regulations
- 2. Technical Specification Change Is Consistent with the Defense-in-Depth Philosophy
- 3. Technical Specification Change Maintains Sufficient Safety Margin
- 4. Evaluation of Risk Impact
- 5. Technical Specification Change Monitored Using Performance Measurement Strategies For the review of the Hatch TSTF-505 LAR, the NRC staff used the following key principles and tiers:
Principle 1:
The proposed LB change meets the current regulations unless it is
explicitly related to a requested exemption.
Principle 2:
The proposed LB change is consistent with the DID philosophy.
Principle 3:
The proposed LB change maintains sufficient safety margins.
Principle 4:
When the proposed LB change results in an increase in risk, the increase should be small and consistent with the intent of the Commissions policy statement on safety goals for the operations of nuclear power plants.
Tier 1: Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) Capability and Insights Tier 2: Avoidance of High Risk-Significant Plant Configurations Tier 3: Risk-Informed Configuration Risk Management Program (CRMP)
Principle 5:
The impact of the proposed LB change should be monitored by using performance measures strategies.
3.1 Method of NRC Staff Review Each of the key principles and tiers are addressed in NEI TR 06-09-A and approved in the final model SE issued by the NRC for TSTF-505, Revision 2. The industry guidance provides a methodology for extending existing CTs, and, thereby, delay exiting the operational mode of applicability or taking Required Actions if risk is assessed and managed within the limits and programmatic requirements established by a RICT Program. The NRC staffs evaluation of the licensees proposed use of RICTs against the above key safety principles is discussed below.
Key Principle 1: Evaluation of Compliance with Current Regulations Paragraph 50.36(c)(2) of 10 CFR states that LCOs are the lowest functional capability or performance levels of equipment required for safe operation of the facility.
When an LCO of a nuclear reactor is not met, the licensee shall shut down the reactor or follow any remedial action permitted by the TS until the condition can be met.
The CTs in the current TSs were established using experiential data, risk insights, and engineering judgement. The RICT Program provides the necessary administrative controls to permit extension of CTs and, thereby, delay reactor shutdown or Required Actions, if risk is assessed and managed appropriately within specified limits and programmatic requirements and the safety margins and DID remain sufficient. The option to determine the extended CT in accordance with the RICT Program allows the licensee to perform an integrated evaluation in accordance with the methodology prescribed in NEI TR 06-09-A and proposed TS 5.5.16. The RICT is limited to a maximum of 30 days (termed the back stop).
The typical CT is modified by the application of the RICT Program as shown in the following example. The changed portion is in italics.
ACTIONS CONDITION REQUIRED ACTION COMPLETION TIME A. One subsystem inoperable.
A.1 Restore subsystem to OPERABLE status.
7 days OR In accordance with the Risk Informed Completion Time Program In Enclosure 1 of the LAR, as supplemented, SNC provided a list of the TSs, associated LCOs, and Required Actions for the CTs that included modifications and variations from the approved TSTF-505. The modifications and variations consisted of proposed changes to the Required Actions and CTs. Furthermore, consistent with Table 1 of TSTF-505, Rev. 2, for Hatch TS 3.3.4.1 and TS 3.6.1.2 in Table E1-2 in Enclosure 1 of the LAR, the licensee included additional technical justification to demonstrate the acceptability for including these TS in the RICT Program. The NRC staff reviewed the proposed changes to the TS, associated LCOs, Required Actions, and CTs provided by the licensee for the scope of the RICT Program and concluded that, with the incorporation of the RICT Program, the required performance levels of equipment specified in LCOs are not changed only the required CT for the Required Actions are modified, such that 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2) will continue to be met. Based on the above, the NRC staff finds that the TS program described in Section 2.1 of this SE, LCOs, Required Actions, and CTs meet the first key principle.
Key Principle 2: Evaluation of Defense in Depth In RG 1.174, Revision 3, the NRC identified the following considerations used for evaluation of how the LB change is maintained for the DID philosophy:
Preserve a reasonable balance among the layers of defense.
Preserve adequate capability of design features without an overreliance on programmatic activities as compensatory measures.
Preserve system redundancy, independence, and diversity commensurate with the expected frequency and consequences of challenges to the system, including consideration of uncertainty.
Preserve adequate defense against potential common-cause failures (CCFs).
Maintain multiple fission product barriers.
Preserve sufficient defense against human errors.
Continue to meet the intent of the plants design criteria.
SNC requested to use the RICT Program to extend the existing CTs for the respective TS LCOs described in Attachment 2 of the LAR, as supplemented. For the TS LCOs in Enclosure 1, Section 3, of the LAR, as supplemented, the licensee provided a description and assessment of the redundancy and diversity for the proposed changes.
The NRC staffs evaluation of the proposed changes for these LCOs assessed the plants redundant or diverse means to mitigate accidents to ensure consistency with the plant LB
requirements using the guidance in RG 1.174, RG 1.177, and TSTF-505 to ensure adequate DID (for each of the functions) to operate the facility in the proposed manner (i.e., that the changes are consistent with the DID criteria).
of the LAR provided information supporting the SNCs evaluation of the redundancy, diversity, and DID for each TS LCO and TS Required Action as it relates to Instrumentation and Controls (I&C) and electrical systems. The NRC staff confirmed that for the following TS LCOs, the above DID criteria were applicable except for the criteria for maintaining multiple fission product barriers.
TS 3.3.1.1, Reactor Protection System (RPS) Instrumentation [I&C specific]
TS 3.3.4.1, End of Cycle Recirculation Pump Trip (EOC-RPT) Instrumentation [I&C specific]
TS 3.3.4.2, Anticipated Transient Without Scram Recirculation Pump Trip (ATWS-RPT)
Instrumentation [I&C specific]
TS 3.3.5.1, Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) Instrumentation [I&C specific]
TS 3.3.5.3, Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) System Instrumentation [I&C specific]
TS 3.3.6.1, Primary Containment Isolation Instrumentation [I&C specific]
TS 3.8.1, AC Sources - Operating [electrical specific]
TS 3.8.4, DC Sources - Operating [electrical specific]
TS 3.8.7, Distribution Systems - Operating [electrical specific]
For the TS LCOs specific to I&C (i.e., TSs 3.3.1.1, 3.3.4.1, 3.3.4.2, 3.3.5.1, 3.3.5.3, and 3.3.6.1),
the NRC staff reviewed the specific trip logic arrangements, redundancy, backup systems, manual actions, and diverse trips specified for each of the protective safety functions and associated instrumentation as described in the associated UFSAR (ML20303A202), Chapter 7, Instrumentation and Control, Table 15C-8, and as reflected in Enclosure 1 of the LAR, as supplemented, for each I&C LCO above. The NRC staff examined, analyzed, and performed a confirmatory assessment for all affected functions, the number of operable channels under each RICT condition and identified the number of channels that are required to trip the specific safety function for all the design-basis accidents (DBAs). The NRC staff confirmed that a lossof-function (LOF) condition would not exist for the DBAs and RICT evaluated in the Hatch UFSAR.
The NRC staff also verified independently that, in accordance with the Hatch UFSAR and equipment and actions credited in Enclosure 1 of the LAR, as supplemented, in all applicable operating modes, there is either at least one redundancy, or at least one diverse means available, and that the affected protective feature would perform its intended function by ensuring the ability to detect and mitigate the associated event or accident when the CT of a channel is extended. Therefore, the NRC staff finds that the I&C TS LCOs for TSs 3.3.1.1, 3.3.4.1, 3.3.4.2, 3.3.5.1, 3.3.5.3, and 3.3.6.1 are acceptable in accordance TSTF-505, Revision 2.
Based on the above, the NRC staff concludes that there is sufficient I&C redundancy, diversity, and DID to protect against CCFs and potential single failure for the Hatch instrumentation systems evaluated in Enclosure 1 of the LAR, as supplemented, during a RICT. There is at least one diverse means specified by the licensee for initiating mitigating action for each accident event, thus providing DID against a failure of instrumentation during the RICT for each TS LCO.
The DID specified by the licensee does not overly rely on manual actions as the diverse means; therefore, there is not overreliance of programmatic activities as compensatory measures.
Therefore, the NRC staff finds that the intent of the plants design criteria (e.g., safety functions) for the above TS LCOs related to I&C are maintained.
For the TS LCOs specific to electrical systems, the Hatch UFSAR states that the plant is designed such that the safety functions are maintained assuming a single failure within the electrical power system. Single-failure requirements are typically suspended for the time that a plant is not meeting an LCO (i.e., in an ACTION statement) for the structures, systems, and components (SSCs) subject to the inoperability and LCO entry. The NRC staff reviewed the information that the licensee provided in the LAR, as supplemented, for the proposed TS LCOs and TS Bases and the UFSAR to verify that the capability of the affected electrical systems to perform their safety functions (assuming no additional failures) is maintained. The NRC staff verified that the design success criteria for the affected TS LCOs reflect the redundant or absolute minimum electrical source/subsystem required to be operable to support the safety functions necessary to mitigate postulated DBAs, safely shut down the reactor, and maintain the reactor in a safe shutdown condition. In addition, the NRC staff reviewed the risk management action (RMA) examples, which provide reasonable assurance that the appropriate RMAs will be implemented to monitor and control risk. The NRC staff finds that the intent of the plants design criteria (e.g., safety functions) applicable to the electrical related TS LCOs is maintained.
The NRC staff notes that while in a TS LCO Condition, the redundancy of the affected system will be temporarily degraded and, consequently, the system reliability will be reduced accordingly. The NRC staff examined the design information from the Hatch UFSAR and the risk informed TS LCO Conditions for the affected safety functions. Based on this information, the NRC staff confirmed that under any given DBA evaluated in the Hatch UFSAR, the affected protective features would maintain adequate DID.
Considering that the CT extensions will be implemented in accordance with NEI TR 06-09-A guidance, that also considers RMAs, and the redundancy of the offsite and onsite electrical system, the NRC staff finds that the plant would maintain adequate DID. Therefore, the NRC staff finds that the TS LCOs proposed by the licensee in Attachment 2 of the LAR, as supplemented, are acceptable for the RICT Program.
The NRC staff reviewed all changes to TS remedial actions proposed by the licensee in of the LAR, as supplemented, and concludes that the proposed changes do not alter the ways in which the Hatch systems fail and do not introduce new CCF modes and that the system independence is maintained.
The NRC staff finds that some proposed changes reduce the level of redundancy of the affected systems and that this reduction may reduce the level of defense against some CCFs; however, such reductions in redundancy and defense against CCFs are acceptable due to existing diverse means available to maintain adequate DID against a potential single failure during a RICT. The NRC staff finds that extending the selected CTs with the RICT Program following a loss of redundancy, but maintaining the capability of the system to perform its safety function, is an acceptable reduction in DID during the proposed RICT period provided that the licensee identifies and implements compensatory measures in accordance with the RICT Program during the extended CT.
Based on the above, the NRC staff finds that SNCs proposed changes are consistent with the NRC-endorsed guidance in NEI TR 06-09-A and satisfy the second key principle of DID and concludes that the changes are consistent with the DID philosophy.
Key Principle 3: Evaluation of Safety Margins Paragraph (h) of 10 CFR 50.55a requires, in part, that protection systems of nuclear power reactors of all types must meet the requirements specified in that paragraph. Section 2.2.2 of RG 1.177 states, in part, that sufficient safety margins are maintained when:
Codes and standards or alternatives approved for use by the NRC are met.
Safety analysis acceptance criteria in the final safety analysis report are met, or proposed revisions provide sufficient margin to account for analysis and data uncertainties.
SNC is not proposing in its LAR to change any quality standard, material, or operating specification. In the LAR, the licensee proposed to add a new program, Risk Informed Completion Time Program, in TS 5.0, Administrative Controls, which would require adherence to NEI TR 06-09-A. NEI TR 06-09-A, Condition 2 stipulates, in part, that for the TS LCOs and action requirements to which the RMTS will apply, the LAR will provide justification with comparison of the TS functions to the PRA modeled functions of theSSCs subject to those LCO Actions or an appropriate disposition or programmatic restriction will be provided.
The NRC staff evaluated the effect on safety margins when the RICT is applied to extend the CT up to a backstop of 30 days in a TS condition with sufficient trains remaining operable to fulfill the TS safety function. Although the licensee will be able to have design-basis equipment out of service longer than the current TS would allow, any increase in unavailability is expected to be insignificant and is addressed by the consideration of the single-failure criterion in the design-basis analyses. Acceptance criteria for operability of equipment are not changed and, if sufficient trains remain operable to fulfill the TS safety function, the operability of the remaining train(s) ensures that sufficient safety margins are maintained. The NRC staff finds that, if the specified TS safety function remains operable, then, sufficient safety margins would be maintained during the extended CT of the RICT Program.
Safety margins are also maintained if PRA functionality is determined for the inoperable train, which would result in an increased CT. Credit for PRA functionality, as described in NEI TR 06-09-A, is limited to the inoperable train, loss-of-offsite power, or component.
Based on the above, the NRC staff finds that the intent of the plant design criteria and design-basis analyses for Hatch remain applicable and unchanged, that sufficient safety margins would be maintained during the extended CT, and that the proposed changes to the TSs do not include any change in the standards applied or the safety analysis acceptance criteria. Based on the above, the NRC staff concludes that the proposed changes meet 10 CFR 50.55a(h) and, therefore, the third key principle concerning safety margins is maintained.
Key Principle 4: Change in Risk Consistent with the Safety Goal Policy Statement NEI TR 06-09-A provides a methodology for a licensee to evaluate and manage the risk impact of extensions to TS CTs. Permanent changes to the fixed TS CTs are typically evaluated by using the three-tiered approach described in SRP Section 16.1 (ML070380228), RG 1.177, and
RG 1.174. This approach addresses the calculated change in risk as measured by the change in core damage frequency (CDF) and change in large early release frequency (LERF), as well as the incremental conditional core damage probability (ICCDP) and incremental conditional large early release probability (ICLERP); the use of compensatory measures to reduce risk; and the implementation of a configuration risk management program (CRMP) to identify risk-significant plant configurations.
The NRC staff evaluated the licensees processes and methodologies for determining that the change in risk from implementation of RICTs will be small and consistent with the intent of the Commissions Safety Goal Policy Statement. In addition, the NRC staff evaluated SNCs proposed changes against the three-tiered approach stated above for the licensees evaluation of the risk associated with a proposed TS CT change. The results of the NRC staffs review are discussed below.
Tier 1: PRA Capability and Insights The first tier evaluates the impact of the proposed changes on plant operational risk. The Tier 1 review involves two aspects: (1) scope and acceptability of the PRA models and their application to the proposed changes and (2) a review of the PRA insights and results described in SNCs application.
Enclosures 2 and 4 of the LAR, as supplemented, identify the following modeled hazards and alternate methodologies that the licensee proposed to be used in the Hatch RICT Program to assess the risk contribution for extending the CT of a TS LCO.
Internal Events PRA model (includes internal floods)
Internal Fire Events PRA model Seismic Hazard: CDF penalty of 1.18 x 10-6 per year and a LERF penalty of 3.66 x 10-7 per year Other External Hazards: screened out from RICT Program based on Appendix 6-A of the ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009 PRA Standard Evaluation of Modeled PRAs For the modeled PRAs, which include the internal events (includes internal floods) (IEPRA) and internal fire (FPRA) PRAs in Enclosure 2 of the LAR, the licensee confirmed that the PRA models had been peer reviewed using RG 1.200, Revision 2.
Previous NRC staff reviews for the issuance of Hatch Amendment Nos. 304/249 and 305/250 for the adoption of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)-805 and 10 CFR 50.69 (ML20066F592 and ML20077J704), respectively, concluded that the IEPRA and FPRA were acceptable and consistent with RG 1.200, Revision 2. Therefore, the NRC staff considered the open F&Os, key assumptions and sources of uncertainty, credit for FLEX, and any PRA changes. For the open F&Os resulting from these peer reviews, SNC stated that closure of the F&Os was performed using an independent assessment process. The NRC staff confirmed that the licensee performed closure of the F&Os consistent with Appendix X to NEI TRs 05-04 and 07-12, as endorsed in RG 1.200, Revision 2.
The NRC evaluated the remaining open F&Os, along with the dispositions provided in Table E2-1, Peer Review F&O Not Closed, and concluded that the licensee had appropriately
assessed their impact with respect to the LAR. In Enclosure 9 of the LAR, SNC provided a brief discussion and list of the key assumptions and sources of uncertainty, along with their treatment for the application of TSTF-505. In Section 6.0 of Enclosure 2 of the LAR, the licensee stated that. Internal Events, Internal Flooding, and Fire PRA models credit only permanently installed FLEX equipment, since they are similar to other installed equipment and operated the same.
The modeling of FLEX equipment was reviewed in the Safety Evaluation related to Hatch 10 CFR 50.69 submittal (ML20077J704). Portable FLEX equipment was credited only in the Hatch seismic PRA (SPRA). The Hatch SPRA is not used as the direct basis for this risk application but rather is used to provide selected inputs into the calculation of SCDF and SLERF seismic penalty values The NRC staff determined that the licensees credit for FLEX equipment in the TSTF-505 application is appropriate, because SNC used consensus human reliability analysis methodologies and practices, acceptable failures rates, and performed sensitivity studies to assess the impact on the TSTF-505 application. The NRC staff review of the seismic hazards is provided below in this SE.
The NRC staff reviewed the PRA models peer review history provided by the licensee in of its LAR, as supplemented. The NRC determined that SNC adequately applied NEI TR 06-09, consistent with RG 1.200 for establishing PRA technical acceptability for the aforementioned models. (i.e., IEPRA (includes internal floods), and FPRA). The NRC staff further considered the key assumptions and sources of uncertainty identified by the licensee, proposed use of surrogates in the PRA models for specific TS functions, and credit for FLEX equipment.
Based on the above, the NRC staff finds the Hatch modeled IEPRA (includes internal floods) and FPRA to be consistent with RG 1.200 and RG 1.174 and is, therefore, acceptable for use in the RICT Program.
Evaluation of Seismic Hazard SNCs approach for including the seismic risk contribution in the RICT calculation is to add a penalty seismic CDF and a penalty seismic LERF to each RICT calculation. The proposed bounding seismic CDF estimate is based on using the plant-specific seismic hazard curves developed in response to the Near-Term Task Force (NTTF) recommendation 2.1 (ML14092A017), selected inputs from the seismic PRA, and a plant-level high confidence of low probability of failure (HCLPF) capacity of 0.3g referenced to peak ground acceleration (PGA) provided in the licensees submittal of its Individual Plant Examination for External Events (ML20097J441). The uncertainty parameter for seismic capacity was represented by a composite beta factor of 0.3. On page E4-15 of the letter dated October 26, 2021, the calculated seismic CDF penalty is 1.18 x 10-6 per year and is greater than the seismic PRA estimates for Hatch Unit Nos. 1 and 2. The NRC staff finds that the method to determine the baseline seismic CDF acceptable, because it is consistent with the available information for the seismic hazard and plant-level fragility for Hatch, and the approach used in Generic Issue (GI)-199, Implications of Updated Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Estimates in Central and Eastern United States on Existing Plants (ML100270582).
Concerning the proposed bounding seismic LERF estimate, SNC explains in the LAR that an estimate of the seismic LERF is obtained by multiplying the SCDF penalty (as described above) with the seismic conditional large early release probability (SCLERP) of 0.25 when the containment is inerted based on results from the Hatch SPRA.
For a de-inerted primary containment, the licensee proposed the SCLERP of 1.0. In an additional analysis in the supplement dated August 18, 2022, the licensee proposed to use a conservative SCLERP value of 0.31 for an inerted containment that accounts for the uncertainty associated with the portable FLEX equipment credited in the SPRA. Therefore, the calculated seismic LERF is 3.66 x 10-7 per year when containment is inerted and 1.18 x 10-6 per year when the primary containment is de-inerted. The NRC staff finds the licensees approach to determining a seismic LERF estimate acceptable, because it uses plant-specific information derived from the Hatch SPRA and adds conservatism by addressing the uncertainty of the influence of the portable FLEX equipment on RICTs.
The NRC staff noted a potential discrepancy with some of the values in Tables 3.5-1 and 3.5-2 (ML20213C715) of a Hatch LAR to revise the Required Actions of TS 3.8.1, AC Sources -
Operating, for a one-time extension of the CT for Unit No. 1 and swing emergency diesel generators. The licensee cited them in the audit as justification that the SCDF and SLERF penalties are conservative based on the results and insights from change-in-risk calculations for the proposed RICTs using the Hatch SPRA. Consequently, in its supplement dated August 18, 2022, SNC reported that the discrepancies were due to calculation errors, which were corrected. The licensee further confirmed that these errors did not impact the seismic risk penalties provided in Enclosure 4 to the LAR and, therefore, did not impact this application. The NRC staff reviewed the information in the licensees supplement dated August 18, 2022, and determined that SNC adequately identified and resolved the errors, and that the correction of the errors has no adverse impact on the seismic penalties proposed for use in the RICT Program.
The NRC staff finds that, during RICTs for SSCs crediIed in the design basis to mitigate seismic events, the licensees proposed methodology captures the risk associated with seismically induced failures of redundant SSCs, because such SSCs are assumed to be fully correlated. In summary, the NRC staff finds SNCs proposal to use the seismic CDF contribution of 1.18 x 10-6 per year and a seismic LERF contribution of 3.66 x 10-7 per year to be acceptable for the licensees RICT Program for Hatch, because (1) the licensee used the most current site-specific seismic hazard information for Hatch, (2) the licensee used an acceptably low plant level HCLPF value of 0.3g and a composite beta factor of 0.3 consistent with insights from the Hatch IPEEE and the information for Hatch in the GI-199 evaluation, (3) the licensee determined a seismic LERF penalty using an SCLERP based on the plants SPRA results accounting for FLEX equipment uncertainty, and (4) the licensee will conservatively add the baseline seismic risk to all RICT calculations.
Evaluation of Other External Hazards Besides the seismic hazards discussed above, SNC confirmed that other external hazards for Hatch have insignificant contribution and proposed that these hazards be screened out from the RICT Program. In Enclosure 4 of the LAR, as supplemented, the licensee provided its evaluation of external hazards for the RICT Program and evaluated configuration-specific impacts on the RICT Program for these hazards. SNC provided its evaluation of all other external hazards in Table E4-4 of Enclosure 4 to the LAR, as supplemented.
The NRC staff notes that the list of hazards assessed is essentially the same list of hazards as presented in Table 4-1 of NUREG-1855, Revision 1. The licensee provided a screening disposition for each external hazard and concluded that no unique PRA model for these hazards is required to assess configuration risk for the RICT Program. In Enclosure 4 of the LAR, SNC also evaluated all external hazards impacts on configurations specific for the RICT Program and concluded that there are no impacts from the external hazards.
The NRC staff notes that the preliminary screening criteria and progressive screening criteria used are the same criteria presented in supporting requirements EXT-B1, EXT-B2, and EXT-C1 of the ASME/ANS Ra-SA 2009 PRA Standard.
Based on the above, the NRC staff finds that the contributions from the other external hazards have an insignificant contribution to configuration risk and can be excluded from the calculation of the proposed RICTs, because they either do not challenge the plant or they are bounded by the external hazards analyzed for the plant.
Application of PRA Models, Results, and Insights in the RICT Program The Hatch base PRA models that have been determined to be sufficient in this SE for use in the RICT Program are expected to be modified as an application-specific PRA model (i.e., CRMP tool), that will be used by the licensee to analyze the risk for an extended CT. The CRMP tool produces results (i.e., risk metrics) that are consistent with the NEI TR 06-09-A guidance. In its LAR, SNC provided all information needed to support the requested LCO actions proposed for the Hatch RICT Program consistent with all the Limitations and Conditions in Section 4.0 of NEI TR 06-09-A.
The NRC staff did not identify insufficiencies in the licensees information or the CRMP tool as described in the Enclosure 8 of the LAR. As stated in Attachment 1 of the LAR for Hatch, the proposed change does not change the design, configuration, or method of operation of the plant. The Hatch PRA models and CRMP tool will continue to reflect the as-built, as-operated plant consistent with RG 1.200 for ensuring that PRA acceptability is maintained. Based on the above, the NRC staff concludes that the proposed application of the Hatch RICT Program is appropriate for use in the adoption of TSTF-505 for performing RICT calculations.
SNC provided in Enclosure 5 of the LAR, as supplemented, the estimated total CDF and LERF for the base PRA models to demonstrate that Hatch meets the 1 x 10-4/year CDF and 1 x 10-5/year LERF criteria of RG 1.174 consistent with the guidance in NEI TR 06-09-A and that these guidelines will be satisfied for implementation of a RICT.
The licensee has incorporated NEI TR 06-09-A into proposed new TS 5.5.16, Risk Informed Completion Time. The estimated current total CDF and LERF for Hatch PRAs meet the RG 1.174, Revision 3 guidelines; therefore, the NRC staff concludes that the PRA results and insights to be used by the licensee in the RICT Program will continue to be consistent with NEI TR 06-09-A.
Tier 1 Conclusions Based on the above, the NRC staff finds that SNC has satisfied the intent of Tier 1 stated above for determining the PRA acceptable, and that the scope of the modeled (i.e., IEPRA and FPRA)
PRA hazards, evaluation for other external hazards, and seismic methodology is appropriate for this application.
Tier 2: Avoidance of High Risk-Significant Plant Configurations As described above, Tier 2 evaluates the capability of the licensee to identify and avoid high risk-significant plant configurations that could result if equipment, in addition to that associated with the proposed change, is taken out of service simultaneously or if other risk-significant operational factors, such as concurrent system or equipment testing, are also involved. In Section 2 of Enclosure 10 of the LAR, as supplemented, SNC confirmed that the risk thresholds associated with 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) will be coordinated with the RICT limits. The licensee identified in Enclosure 10 three kinds of RMAs (i.e., actions to provide increased risk awareness and control, actions to reduce the duration of maintenance activities, and actions to minimize the magnitude of the risk increase).
SNC also explained in the LAR that RMAs will be implemented, in accordance with current plant procedures, no later than the time at which the 1 x 10-6 incremental core damage probability (ICCDP) or 1 x 10-7 incremental large early release probability (ICLERP) threshold is reached and under emergent conditions when the instantaneous CDF and LERF thresholds are exceeded.
The NRC staff concludes that the RICT Program requirements, that include limits established for entry into a RICT, and implementation of RMAs are consistent with NEI TR 06-09-A. Based on the above, the NRC staff finds that the proposed changes are consistent with the intent of Tier 2.
Tier 3: Risk-Informed Configuration Risk Management Tier 3 stipulates that a licensee should develop a program that ensures that the risk impact of out-of-service equipment is appropriately evaluated prior to performing any maintenance activity. The proposed RICT Program establishes a CRMP based on the underlying PRA models. The CRMP is then used to evaluate configuration-specific risk for planned activities associated with the RMTS extended CT, as well as emergent conditions that may arise during an extended CT. This required assessment of configuration risk, along with the implementation of compensatory measures and RMAs, is consistent with the principle of Tier 3 for assessing and managing the risk impact of out-of-service equipment.
Paragraph (c)(5) of 10 CFR 50.36 identifies administrative controls as 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. In Enclosure 8 of the LAR, as supplemented, SNC confirmed that future changes made to the baseline PRA models and changes made to the online model (i.e., CRMP) are controlled and documented by plant procedures. Enclosure 10 of the LAR, as supplemented, provides the attributes that the licensees RICT Program procedures will address, which are consistent with NEI TR 06-09-A.
The NRC staff finds that SNC has identified appropriate administrative controls consistent with NEI TR 06-09-A and 10 CFR 50.36(c)(5).
Based on the licensees incorporation of NEI TR 06-09-A in the TS, as discussed in LAR, as supplemented, and its use of RMAs as described in LAR Enclosures 10 and 12, and because the proposed changes are consistent with the above Tier 3, the NRC staff finds that SNCs Tier 3 program is acceptable and supports the proposed implementation of the RICT Program.
Key Principle 4: Conclusions SNC has demonstrated the technical acceptability and scope of its PRA models and alternative methods, including consideration of the impact of seismic events and other external hazards, and that the models can support implementation of the RICT Program for determining extensions to CTs. The licensee has made proper consideration of key assumptions and sources of uncertainty. The risk metrics are consistent with the approved methodology of NEI TR 06-09-A and the acceptance guidance in RG 1.177 and RG 1.174. The RICT Program will be controlled administratively through plant procedures and training and follows the NRC-approved methodology in NEI TR 06-09-A. Based on the above, the NRC staff concludes that the RICT Program satisfies the fourth key principle stated above and is, therefore, acceptable.
Key Principle 5: Performance Measurement Strategies - Implementing and Monitoring RG 1.177 and RG 1.174 establish the need for an implementation and monitoring program to ensure that extensions to TS CTs do not degrade operational safety over time and that no adverse degradation occurs due to unanticipated degradation or common-cause mechanisms. 1 of the LAR states that the SSCs in the scope of the RICT Program are also in the scope of 10 CFR 50.65 for the Maintenance Rule. The Hatch Maintenance Rule monitoring programs will provide for evaluation and disposition of unavailability impacts which may be incurred from implementation of the RICT Program. Furthermore, in Enclosure 11 of the LAR, SNC confirmed that the cumulative risk is calculated at least every refueling cycle, but that the recalculation period does not exceed 24 months, which is consistent with NEI TR 06-09-A.
The NRC staff concludes that the RICT Program satisfies the fifth key principle stated above, because: (1) the RICT Program will monitor the average annual cumulative risk increase as described in NEI TR 06-09-A, thereby ensuring that the program, as implemented, continues to meet RG 1.174 and RG 1.177 guidance for small risk increases and (2) all affected SSCs are within the Maintenance Rule program, which is used to monitor changes to the reliability and availability of those SSCs.
3.2 Technical Conclusion The NRC staff evaluated the proposed changes against each of the five key principles in RG 1.177 and RG 1.174, including the optional variations from the approved TSTF-505 discussed in Section 3.1 of this SE. The NRC staff concludes that the changes proposed by SNC satisfy the key principles of risk-informed decision-making identified in RG 1.174 and RG 1.177 and, therefore, the requested adoption of the proposed changes to the TSs, implementation items, and associated guidance, is acceptable to the NRC staff to ensure that the Commissions regulations continue to be met.
3.3 Editorial and/or Administrative Changes By letter dated April 22, 2021 (ML21109A359), the NRC staff issued Amendment No. 254 for Hatch, Unit No. 2 under emergency circumstances. Amendment No. 254 revised TS 3.5.1, ECCS - Operating, Required Action A.2 to extend the CT from 7 days to 15 days only while repairs of the 2D Residual Heat Removal pump repair were ongoing, and only until May 1, 2021. SNC now requests deletion of the TS changes made under Amendment No. 254. This eliminates information on TS page 3.5-1. The NRC staff finds this administrative change
acceptable because the added TS language was for a one-time use only and expired on May 1, 2021.
By letter dated September 21, 2021 (ML21264A644), the NRC staff issued Amendment No. 311 for Hatch, Unit No. 1 under emergency circumstances. Amendment No. 311 revised TS 3.7.2, Plant Service Water (PSW) System and Ultimate Heat Sink (UHS), Condition A, One PSW pump inoperable, to allow a one-time increase in the CT from 30 days to 45 days. The 45-day CT expired on October 10, 2021. SNC now requests deletion of the TS changes made under Amendment No. 311. This eliminates information on TS page 3.7-3. The NRC staff finds this administrative change acceptable because the added TS language was for a one-time use only and expired on October 10, 2021.
By letter dated September 18, 2020 (ML20254A057), the NRC staff issued Amendment Nos.
307 and 252 for Hatch, Unit Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, for a one-time extension of the CT for Unit No. 1 and swing emergency diesel generators (EDGs). Amendment Nos. 307 and 252 revised TS 3.8.1, AC Sources - Operating, to allow a one-time extension of the CT of Required Action B.4 for the Hatch, Unit No. 1 TS and of Required Actions B.4 and C.4 for the Hatch, Unit No. 2 TS for each Hatch Unit No. 1 EDG and the swing EDG from 14 days to 19 days. SNC now requests deletion of the TS changes made under Amendment Nos. 307 and 252. This eliminates information on TS pages 3.8-4a and 3.8-4b for Hatch, Unit No. 1 and on TS pages 3.8-4a, 3.8-4b, 3.8-5a, and 3.8-5b for Hatch, Unit No. 2. The NRC staff finds this administrative change acceptable because the added TS language was for a one-time use only and was only applicable until June 30, 2021.
With the addition of the RICT language reviewed in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 of this SE and the deletion of the information related to Amendment Nos. 307 and 311 for Hatch, Unit No. 1, and Amendment Nos. 252 and 254 for Hatch, Unit No. 2, various Conditions and/or Required Actions rolled to other TS pages and/or were re-lettered or re-numbered. For Hatch, Unit No. 1, editorial changes were made on TS pages: 1.3-11, 1.3-13, 3.3-1a, 3.3-2, 3.3-29, 3.3-30, 3.3-30a, 3.3-32, 3.3-33, 3.3-36, 3.3-36a, 3.3-48, 3.3-52, 3.3-53, 3.3-54, 3.5-2, 3.5-2a, 3.6-9, 3.6-10, 3.6-11, 3.6-12, 3.6-26, 3.6-28, 3.6-30, 3.7-2, 3.7-3, 3.7-4, 3.7-5, 3.7-5a, 3.8-3, 3.8-4, 3.8-5, 3.8-27, and 3.8-27a. For Hatch, Unit No. 2, editorial changes were made on TS pages: 1.3-11, 1.3-13, 3.3-1a, 3.3-2, 3.3-29, 3.3-30, 3.3-30a, 3.3-32, 3.3-33, 3.3-36, 3.3-36a, 3.3-48, 3.3-52, 3.3-53, 3.3-54, 3.3-54a, 3.5-1, 3.5-2, 3.5-2a, 3.6-9, 3.6-10, 3.6-11, 3.6-12, 3.6-26, 3.6-28, 3.6-30, 3.7-2, 3.7-4, 3.7-5, 3.7-5a, 3.8-3, 3.8-4, 3.8-5, 3.8-27, and 3.8-27a. The NRC staff finds these editorial changes acceptable because the technical information remains the same.
4.0 STATE CONSULTATION
In accordance with the Commissions regulations, the Georgia State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendments on September 9, 2022. On September 9, 2022, the State official confirmed that the State of Georgia had no comments.
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
The amendments change requirements with respect to the installation or use of facility components located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20 and change surveillance requirements. The NRC staff has determined that the amendments involve no significant increase in the amounts and no significant change in the types of any effluents that may be released offsite and that there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.
The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that the amendments involve no significant hazards consideration published in the Federal Register on December 28, 2021 (86 FR 73819), and there has been no public comment on such finding. Accordingly, the amendments meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion 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 the amendments.
6.0 CONCLUSION
The Commission has concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that: (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) there is reasonable assurance that such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commissions regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
