SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION In accordance with 10 CFR 50.90, "Application for amendment of license, construction permit, or early site permit," Constellation Energy Generation, LLC (CEG), requests an amendment to Facility Operating License (FOL) No. NPF-62 for Clinton Power Station, Unit 1, Renewed FOL Nos. DPR-19 and DPR-25 for Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3, Renewed FOL No. DPR-59 for James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant, Renewed FOL Nos. NPF-11 and NPF-18 for LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2, Renewed FOL No. NPF-69 for Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Unit 2, Subsequent Renewed FOL Nos. DPR-44 and DPR-56 for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3, and Renewed FOL Nos. DPR-29 and DPR-30 for Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2. The proposed amendment is consistent with previously NRC-approved Industry/Technical Specifications Task Force Traveler 580 (TSTF-580), Revision 1, "Provide Exception from Entering Mode 4 With No Operable RHR Shutdown Cooling." The proposed change provides a Technical Specifications (TS) exception to entering Mode 4 if both required Residual Heat Removal (RHR) shutdown cooling subsystems are inoperable.
2.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION 2.1 Applicability of Safety Evaluation CEG has reviewed the safety evaluation for TSTF-580 provided to the Technical Specifications Task Force in a letter dated July 11, 2021 (Reference 2). This review included a review of the NRC evaluation, as well as the information provided in TSTF-580 (Reference 1). As described below, CEG has concluded that the justifications presented in TSTF-580 and the safety evaluation prepared by the NRC are applicable to Clinton Power Station, Unit 1, Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3, James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant, LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2, Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Unit 2, Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3, and Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2, and justify this amendment for the incorporation of the changes to these plants TS.
2.2 Variations Some CEG plants TS utilize different numbering than the Standard TS on which TSTF-580 was based (Reference 3 and 4). The specific differences between the plant TS and TSTF-580 are described in Table 1. These differences are administrative and do not affect the applicability of TSTF-580 to the CEG plants TS.

3.0 REGULATORY ANALYSIS
3.1 No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination Analysis In accordance with 10 CFR 50.90, "Application for amendment of license, construction permit, or early site permit," Constellation Energy Generation, LLC (CEG), requests an amendment to Facility Operating License (FOL) No. NPF-62 for Clinton Power Station, Unit 1, Renewed FOL Nos. DPR-19 and DPR-25 for Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3, Renewed FOL No. DPR-59 for James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant, Renewed FOL Nos. NPF-11 and NPF-18 for LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2, Renewed FOL No. NPF-69 for Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Unit 2, Subsequent Renewed FOL Nos. DPR-44 and DPR-56 for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3, and Renewed FOL Nos. DPR-29 and DPR-30 for Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2. The proposed amendment is consistent with previously NRC-approved Industry/Technical Specifications Task Force Traveler 580 (TSTF-580), Revision 1, "Provide Exception from Entering Mode 4 With No Operable RHR Shutdown Cooling." The proposed change provides a Technical Specifications (TS) exception
ATTACHMENT 1 Evaluation of Proposed Changes Page 3 of 5 to entering Mode 4 if both required Residual Heat Removal (RHR) shutdown cooling subsystems are inoperable.
CEG has evaluated the proposed change against the criteria of 10 CFR 50.92(c) to determine if the proposed change results in any significant hazards. The following is the evaluation of each of the 10 CFR 50.92(c) criteria:
- 1.
Does the proposed change involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
Response: No The proposed change provides a TS exception to entering Mode 4 if both required RHR shutdown cooling subsystems are inoperable. The RHR System in the shutdown cooling mode performs the important safety function of removing decay heat from the reactor coolant system during shutdown. The RHR System in the shutdown cooling mode is not an initiator of any accident previously evaluated or assumed to mitigate any accident previously evaluated. The design and function of the RHR System are not affected by the proposed change.
The proposed change would also exempt entering Mode 4 if both required RHR shutdown cooling subsystems are inoperable and other operating modes of the RHR System are inoperable, such as Low Pressure Core Injection (LPCI) and RHR suppression pool cooling, and both subsystems of the support system for the RHR System heat exchangers, the RHR Service Water (RHRSW) System, are inoperable.
The TS for those RHR operating modes and the RHRSW System require entering Mode 4 when both required subsystems are inoperable. Those operating modes and systems are not initiators to any accident previously evaluated but are used to mitigate the consequences of an accident previously evaluated. However, the consequences of an accident previously evaluated resulting from remaining in Mode 3 versus Mode 4 when RHR shutdown cooling subsystems are inoperable are not significantly increased because there would be no dependable method to remove post-accident decay heat in Mode 4 if both required RHR shutdown cooling subsystems are inoperable.
Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
- 2.
Does the proposed change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated?
Response: No The proposed change provides a TS exception to entering Mode 4 if both required RHR shutdown cooling subsystems are inoperable. The proposed change does not affect the design function or operation of the RHR System or the RHRSW System. No new equipment is being installed as a result of the proposed change. The proposed change affects the actions taken when both required RHR shutdown cooling subsystems are inoperable, so no new failure mechanisms are created.
ATTACHMENT 1 Evaluation of Proposed Changes Page 4 of 5 Therefore, the proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated.
- 3.
Does the proposed change involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?
Response: No The proposed change provides a TS exception to entering Mode 4 if both required RHR shutdown cooling subsystems are inoperable. The proposed change does not change any specific values or controlling parameters that define margin in the design or licensing basis. No safety limits are affected by the proposed change. The proposed change applies when both required RHR shutdown cooling subsystems are inoperable, so no design or safety limits associated with the operation of the RHR System are affected.
Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
Based on the above, CEG concludes that the proposed amendment presents no significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c) and complies with the "generic" determination in 10 CFR 50.75(h)(4), accordingly, a finding of "no significant hazards consideration" is justified.
3.2 Conclusions In conclusion, based on the considerations discussed above, (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the 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.
4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION The proposed amendment involves (i) changes to surety, insurance, and/or indemnity requirements, or (ii) changes to recordkeeping, reporting, or administrative procedures or requirements. Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10). Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b),
no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.

RHR Shutdown Cooling System Hot Shutdown B 3.4.9 CLINTON B 3.4-46 Revision No. 21-5 BASES ACTIONS A.1 (continued)
With both RHR shutdown cooling subsystems inoperable, an alternate method of decay heat removal must be provided in addition to that provided for the initial RHR shutdown cooling subsystem inoperability. This re-establishes backup decay heat removal capabilities, similar to the requirements of the LCO. The 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> Completion Time is based on the decay heat removal function and the probability of a loss of the available decay heat removal capabilities. Furthermore, verification of the functional availability of these alternate methods must be confirmed every 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> thereafter. This will provide assurance of continued heat removal capacity.
The required cooling capacity of the alternate method should be sufficient to maintain or reduce temperature at or below 200F. Decay heat removal by ambient losses can be considered as, or contributing to, the alternate method capability. Alternate methods that can be used include (but are not limited to) the Reactor Water Cleanup System, or an inoperable but functional RHR shutdown cooling subsystem.
B.1 If the required alternate method(s) of decay heat removal cannot be verified within one hour, immediate action must be taken to restore the inoperable RHR shutdown cooling subsystem(s) to operable status. The Required Action will restore redundant decay heat removal paths. The immediate Completion Time reflects the importance of maintaining the availability of two paths for heat removal.
C.1, C.2, and C.3 With no RHR shutdown cooling subsystem and no recirculation pump in operation, except as is permitted by LCO Note 1, reactor coolant circulation by the RHR shutdown cooling subsystem or one recirculation pump must be restored without delay.
Until RHR or recirculation pump operation is re-established, an alternate method of reactor coolant circulation must be placed into service. This will provide the necessary circulation for monitoring coolant temperature. The 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> Completion Time is based on the coolant circulation function and is modified such that the 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> is applicable separately for each occurrence involving a loss of coolant circulation. Furthermore, verification of the functioning of the alternate method must be reconfirmed every 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> thereafter.

Decay heat removal by ambient losses can be considered as, or contributing to, the alternate method capability. Alternate methods that can be used include (but are not limited to) the Reactor Water Cleanup System, or an inoperable but functional RHR shutdown cooling subsystem.
D.1 If the required alternate methods of decay heat removal cannot be verified within one hour, immediate action must be taken to restore at least one RHR shutdown cooling subsystem to OPERABLE status. The immediate Completion Time reflects the importance of restoring a method of heat removal.
Required Action D.1 is modified by a Note indicating that all required MODE changes to MODE 4 may be suspended until one RHR shutdown cooling subsystem is restored to OPERABLE status. In this case, LCO 3.0.3 and other Required Actions directing entry into MODE 4 could force the unit into a less safe condition in which there may be no adequate means to remove decay heat. It is more appropriate to allow the restoration of one of the RHR shutdown cooling subsystems before requiring entry into a condition in which that subsystem would be needed and exiting a condition where other sources of cooling are available.
When at least one RHR subsystem is restored to OPERABLE status, the Completion Times of LCO 3.0.3 or other Required Actions resume at the point at which they were suspended.
RHR Shutdown Cooling System Hot Shutdown B 3.4.9 CLINTON B 3.4-47 Revision No. 21-5 BASES ACTIONS C.1, C.2, and C.3 (continued)
During the period when the reactor coolant is being circulated by an alternate method (other than by the required RHR shutdown cooling subsystem or recirculation pump), the reactor coolant temperature and pressure must be periodically monitored to ensure proper function of the alternate method. The once per hour Completion Time is deemed appropriate.
SURVEILLANCE SR 3.4.9.1 REQUIREMENTS This Surveillance verifies that one RHR shutdown cooling subsystem or recirculation pump is in operation and circulating reactor coolant. The required flow rate is determined by the flow rate necessary to provide sufficient decay heat removal capability. The Surveillance Frequency is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.
This Surveillance is modified by a Note allowing sufficient time to align the RHR System for shutdown cooling operation after clearing the pressure interlock that isolates the system, or for placing a recirculation pump in operation.
The Note takes exception to the requirements of the Surveillance being met (i.e., forced coolant circulation is not required for this initial 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> period), which also allows entry into the Applicability of this Specification in accordance with SR 3.0.4 since the Surveillance will not be "not met" at the time of entry into the Applicability.
SR 3.4.9.2 RHR Shutdown Cooling System piping and components have the potential to develop voids and pockets of entrained gases.
Preventing and managing gas intrusion and accumulation is necessary for proper operation of the RHR shutdown cooling subsystems and may also prevent water hammer, pump cavitation, and pumping of noncondensible gas into the reactor vessel.
Selection of RHR Shutdown Cooling System locations susceptible to gas accumulation is based on a review of system design information, including piping and instrumentation drawings, isometric drawings, plan and elevation drawings, and calculations. The design review is supplemented by system walk downs to validate the system high points and to confirm the location and orientation of important components that can become sources of gas or could otherwise cause gas to be trapped or difficult to remove (continued)

ACTIONS A Note has been provided to modify the ACTIONS related to SDC subsystems. Section 1.3, Completion Times, specifies once a Condition has been entered, subsequent divisions, subsystems, components or variables expressed in the Condition, discovered to be inoperable or not within limits, will not result in separate entry into the Condition.
Section 1.3 also specifies Required Actions of the Condition continue to apply for each additional failure, with Completion Times based on initial entry into the Condition.
However, the Required Actions for inoperable shutdown cooling subsystems provide appropriate compensatory measures for separate inoperable shutdown cooling subsystems. As such, a Note has been provided that allows separate Condition entry for each inoperable SDC subsystem.
A.1 With one required SDC subsystem inoperable for decay heat removal, except as permitted by LCO Note 2, the overall reliability is reduced because a single failure in the OPERABLE subsystem could result in reduced SDC capability.
Therefore, an alternate method of decay heat removal must be provided.
With both required SDC subsystems inoperable, an alternate method of decay heat removal must be provided in addition to that provided for the initial SDC subsystem inoperability.

The Required Action will restore redundant decay heat removal paths. The immediate Completion Time reflects the importance of maintaining the availability of two paths for heat removal.
SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS SR 3.4.7.1 Verifying the correct alignment for manual, power operated, and automatic valves in the RHR shutdown cooling flow path provides assurance that the proper flow paths will exist for RHR operation. This SR does not apply to valves that are locked, sealed, or otherwise secured in position since these were verified to be in the correct position prior to locking, sealing, or securing. A valve that can be manually (from the control room or locally) aligned is allowed to be in a non-RHR shutdown cooling position provided the valve can be repositioned. This SR does not require any testing or valve manipulation; rather, it involves verification that those valves capable of potentially being mispositioned are in the correct position. This SR does not apply to valves that cannot be inadvertently misaligned, such as check valves.
The Surveillance Frequency is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.
This Surveillance is modified by a Note allowing sufficient time to verify RHR shutdown cooling subsystem OPERABILITY after clearing the pressure interlock that isolates the system. The Note takes exception to the requirements of the Surveillance being met (i.e.,

As such, a Note has been provided that allows separate Condition entry for each inoperable RHR shutdown cooling subsystem.
A.1 With one RHR shutdown cooling subsystem inoperable for decay heat removal, except as permitted by LCO Note 2, the overall reliability is reduced, however, because a single failure in the OPERABLE subsystem could result in reduced RHR shutdown cooling capability. Therefore an alternate method of decay heat removal must be provided.

SURVEILLANCE SR 3.4.7.1 REQUIREMENTS This Surveillance verifies that one required RHR shutdown cooling subsystem or recirculation pump is in operation and circulating reactor coolant. The required flow rate is determined by the flow rate necessary to provide sufficient decay heat removal capability. The Surveillance Frequency is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.
This Surveillance is modified by a Note allowing sufficient time to align the RHR System for shutdown cooling operation after clearing the pressure setpoint that isolates the system, or for placing a recirculation pump in operation.
The Note takes exception to the requirements of the Surveillance being met (i.e., forced coolant circulation is not required for this initial 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> period), which also allows entry into the Applicability of this Specification in accordance with SR 3.0.4 since the Surveillance will not be "not met" at the time of entry into the Applicability.
SR 3.4.7.2 RHR Shutdown Cooling (SDC) System piping and components have the potential to develop voids and pockets of entrained gases. Preventing and managing gas intrusion and accumulation is necessary for proper operation of the required RHR shutdown cooling subsystems and may also prevent water hammer, pump cavitation, and pumping of noncondensible gas into the reactor vessel.

RHR Shutdown Cooling SystemHot Shutdown B 3.4.7 Quad Cities 1 and 2 B 3.4.7-3 Revision 72 BASES APPLICABILITY The requirements for decay heat removal in MODES 4 and 5 are (continued) discussed in LCO 3.4.8, "Residual Heat Removal (RHR)
Shutdown Cooling SystemCold Shutdown"; LCO 3.9.8, "Residual Heat Removal (RHR)High Water Level"; and LCO 3.9.9, "Residual Heat Removal (RHR)Low Water Level."
ACTIONS A Note has been provided to modify the ACTIONS related to RHR shutdown cooling subsystems. Section 1.3, Completion Times, specifies once a Condition has been entered, subsequent divisions, subsystems, components or variables expressed in the Condition, discovered to be inoperable or not within limits, will not result in separate entry into the Condition. Section 1.3 also specifies Required Actions of the Condition continue to apply for each additional failure, with Completion Times based on initial entry into the Condition. However, the Required Actions for inoperable shutdown cooling subsystems provide appropriate compensatory measures for separate inoperable shutdown cooling subsystems. As such, a Note has been provided that allows separate Condition entry for each inoperable RHR shutdown cooling subsystem.
A.1, A.2, and A.3 With one RHR shutdown cooling subsystem inoperable for decay heat removal, except as permitted by the LCO Note, the overall reliability is reduced because a single failure in the OPERABLE subsystem could result in reduced RHR shutdown cooling capability. Therefore, an alternate method of decay heat removal must be provided (Required Action A.1).
With both RHR shutdown cooling subsystems inoperable, an alternate method of decay heat removal must be provided in addition to that provided for the initial RHR shutdown cooling subsystem inoperability. This re-establishes backup decay heat removal capabilities, similar to the requirements of the LCO. The 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> Completion Time is based on the decay heat removal function and the probability of a loss of the available decay heat removal capabilities. Furthermore, verification of the functional availability of these alternate method(s) must be reconfirmed every 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> thereafter. This will provide assurance of continued heat removal capability.

The required cooling capacity of the alternate method should be sufficient to maintain or reduce temperature. Decay heat removal by ambient losses can be considered as, or contributing to, the alternate method capability. Alternate methods that can be used include (but are not limited to) the Condensate/Feed and Main Steam Systems, the Reactor Water Cleanup System in the decay heat removal mode (by itself or using feed and bleed in combination with the Control Rod Drive System or Condensate/Feed System), a combination of an ECCS pump and relief valve(s), or an inoperable but functional RHR shutdown cooling subsystem.
In addition, with both RHR shutdown cooling subsystems inoperable, an alternate method of reactor coolant circulation must be placed into service (Required Action A.2). This alternate method may be satisfied by placing a recirculation pump in operation. This will provide the necessary circulation for monitoring coolant temperature.
The 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> Completion Time is based on the importance of the coolant circulation function. Furthermore, verification of the functioning of the alternate method must be reconfirmed every 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> thereafter. This will provide assurance of continued temperature monitoring capability.
During the period when the reactor coolant is being circulated by an alternate method (other than by an RHR shutdown cooling subsystem), the reactor coolant temperature and pressure must be periodically monitored to ensure proper function of the alternate method (Required Action A.3). The once per hour Completion Time is deemed appropriate.
Required Actions A.2 and A.3 are modified by Notes that clarify that these Required Actions are only applicable when both RHR shutdown cooling subsystems are inoperable since Condition A is applicable when one or two RHR shutdown cooling subsystems are inoperable.
B.1 If the required alternate method(s) of decay heat removal cannot be verified within one hour, immediate action must be taken to restore the inoperable RHR shutdown cooling subsystem(s) to operable status. The Required Action will restore redundant decay heat removal paths. The immediate Completion Time reflects the importance of maintaining the availability of two paths for heat removal.

D.1 If the required alternate methods of decay heat removal cannot be verified within one hour, immediate action must be taken to restore at least one RHR shutdown cooling subsystem to OPERABLE status. The immediate Completion Time reflects the importance of restoring a method of heat removal.
Required Action D.1 is modified by a Note indicating that all required MODE changes to MODE 4 may be suspended until one RHR shutdown cooling subsystem is restored to OPERABLE status. In this case, LCO 3.0.3 and other Required Actions directing entry into MODE 4 could force the unit into a less safe condition in which there may be no adequate means to remove decay heat. It is more appropriate to allow the restoration of one of the RHR shutdown cooling subsystems before requiring entry into a condition in which that subsystem would be needed and exiting a condition where other sources of cooling are available.
When at least one RHR subsystem is restored to OPERABLE status, the Completion Times of LCO 3.0.3 or other Required Actions resume at the point at which they were suspended.
Insert 7 E.1, E.2, and E.3 With both RHR shutdown cooling subsystems inoperable, an alternate method of reactor coolant circulation must be placed into service.
