1.0 INTRODUCTION
By application dated October 25, 2022 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML22298A011), Constellation Energy Generation, LLC (the licensee), submitted a license amendment request for Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant (CCNPP), Units 1 and 2; and Nine-Mile Point Nuclear Station (NMP), Unit 2. This change is a clarification to the CCNPP, Units 1 and 2, and NMP, Unit 2 Technical Specifications (TSs),
which identify that a separate condition entry is allowed for each penetration flow path for the post-accident monitoring (PAM) primary containment isolation valve (PCIV) position indication function. The change also clarifies in the NMP, Unit 2 TSs that a separate condition entry is allowed for each quadrant for the PAM suppression pool water temperature indication function.
The proposed changes incorporate the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, the Commission)-approved Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF) Improved Standard Technical Specifications (STS) Change Traveler TSTF-295-A, Modify Note 2 to Actions of PAM Table to Allow Separate Condition Entry for Each Penetration, Revision 0, dated December 21, 1999 (ML040620189).
2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
The regulation at 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2) states, in part, that Limiting conditions for operation
[LCOs] are the lowest functional capability or performance levels of equipment required for safe operation of the facility.
The NRC staffs guidance for the review of TSs is in Chapter 16.0, Technical Specifications, of NUREG-0800, Revision 3, Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants: LWR [Light Water Reactor] Edition (SRP), dated March 2010 (ML100351425). As described therein, as part of the regulatory standardization effort, the NRC staff has prepared STSs for each of the LWR nuclear designs. Accordingly, the NRC staffs review includes consideration of whether the proposed changes are consistent with NUREG-1434, Standard Technical Specifications, General Electric BWR [Boiling Water Reactor]/6 Plants, Volume 1, Specifications, and Volume 2, Bases, Revision 5.0, dated September 2021 (ML21271A582 and ML21271A596) and NUREG-1432, Combustion Engineering Plants, Volume 1, Specifications, and Volume 2, Bases, Revision 5.0, dated September 2021 (ML21258A421 and ML21258A424), as modified by NRC approved travelers.
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
TSTF-295-A, Revision 0, revised Table 3.3.3.1-1 of STS 3.3.3.1, Post Accident Monitoring (PAM) Instrumentation, by (1) prefacing the title of Function 8, Primary Containment Isolation Valve (PCIV) Position, with the phrase Penetration Flow Path, and (2) prefacing the title of Function 13, Suppression Pool Water Temperature, with Relief Valve Discharge Location.
These changes were made to clarify how to apply the Actions Note to these two functions. The Actions Note states Separate Condition entry is allowed for each Function. The changes clarify that separate condition entry is allowed for each penetration flow path for the PAM PCIV position indication function and for each relief valve discharge location suppression pool temperature indication. Appropriate changes to the TS Bases for STS 3.3.3.1 were also made.
The proposed change to NMP Function 9, Suppression Pool Water Temperature, includes the addition of the word Quadrant, which was not included in TSTF-295. This variation is proposed to reflect the location of the indication. The suppression pool water temperature is monitored in each quadrant as noted in Table 3.3.3.1-1 Note (c). The NRC staff finds that the change remains consistent with TSTF-295 because it identifies each location that separate condition entry is allowed. The changes proposed for corresponding CCNPP, Units 1 and 2, TS 3.3.10, Function 8, Containment Isolation Valve Position; and NMP, Unit 2, TS 3.3.3.1, Function 8, PCIV Position, are identical to the changes made to the STS by TSTF-295-A.
Current CCNPP, Units 1 and 2, TS Table 3.3.10-1, Function 8, states:
Containment Isolation Valve Position Revised CCNPP, Units 1 and 2, TS Table 3.3.10-1, Function 8, would state:
Penetration Flow Path Containment Isolation Valve Position Current NMP, Unit 2, TS Table 3.3.3.1-1, Function 8, states:
PCIV Position Revised NMP, Unit 2, TS Table 3.3.3.1-1, Function 8, would state:
Penetration Flow Path PCIV Position Current NMP, Unit 2, TS Table 3.3.3.1-1, Function 9, states:
Suppression Pool Water Temperature Revised NMP, Unit 2, TS Table 3.3.3.1-1, Function 9, would state:
Suppression Pool Quadrant Water Temperature Based on its review, the NRC staff has determined that these changes clarify the intended application of action requirements for inoperable channels of CCNPP, Units 1 and 2, TS 3.3.10, Function 8; and NMP, Unit 2, TS 3.3.3.1, Functions 8 and 9; and are consistent with the TS action requirements for PCIVs and safety relief valves. These changes do not reduce any existing action requirements for these PAM functions and do not affect plant safety.
The NRC staff concludes that the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2) continue to be met because the minimum performance level of equipment needed for safe operation of the facility is contained in the LCO, and the appropriate remedial measures are specified if the LCO is not met. Based on the above, the NRC staff concludes that the proposed changes to CCNPP, Units 1 and 2, TS Table 3.3.10-1 and NMP, Unit 2, TS Table 3.3.3.1-1 are acceptable.
4.0 STATE CONSULTATION
In accordance with the Commissions regulations, the Maryland and New York State officials were notified of the proposed issuance of the amendments on May 24, 2023. The State officials had no comments.
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
The amendments change requirements with respect to installation or use of facility components located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20. 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 February 21, 2023 (88 FR 10555), 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.
