Provided on Page 3.

By letter dated December 1, 2022 (Reference 1), Ameren Missouri submitted a license amendment request (LAR) to clarify the cooling water support system requirements for the Residual Heat Removal (RHR) system and Control Room Air Conditioning System (CRACS) during shutdown modes. By letter dated March 28, 2023 (Reference 2), the NRC communicated their plans to conduct an audit of the Reference 1 LAR and provided an initial listing of audit questions and requests for response. A set of additional, informal audit questions (and responses) verbalized during the audit was assembled as well. After the audit (conducted in April), and by e-mail dated July 27, 2023 (Reference 3), the NRC staff provided additional audit questions for response. Those audit questions and Ameren Missouri's responses to the questions were then clarified and discussed in telephone conferences conducted with the NRC staff on August 23 and September 13, 2023, as part of the overall audit activity. By letter dated October 16, 2023 (Reference 4) Ameren Missouri provided responses to all the audit questions, i.e., those transmitted via References 2 and 3 as well as those taken from the audit discussions.

This letter includes in the attachment additional insights and clarifications identified as necessary in a teleconference held with the NRC staff on November 7, 2023. Additionally, the enclosure to this letter provides (in the form of markups) proposed changes to the Technical Specification Bases (as provided for information only). These supersede those TS Bases markups provided previously by the Reference 1 letter.

ULNRC-06827 November 20, 2023 Page 2 of 5 This supplement does not impact the conclusions ofthe environmental and regulatory evaluations, including the Basis for No Significant Hazards Consideration, as provided by the letter per Reference 4.

The Callaway Onsite Review Committee has reviewed and approved submittal ofthis LAR supplement.

This submittal does not contain new commitments.

Ifthere are any questions, please contact Tom Elwood at 314-225-1905.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

Attachment to ULNRC-06827 Page 1 of 3 Clarifications to LAR Regarding Cooling Water Support System Requirements for the Residual Heat Removal and Control Room Air Conditioning Systems

Attachment to ULNRC-06827 Page 2 of 3 Clarifications to LAR Regarding Cooling Water Support System Requirements for the Residual Heat Removal and Control Room Air Conditioning Systems By a teleconference held with the NRC Staff on November 7, 2023, it was identified that the Technical Specification (TS) page markups previously provided include limitations on the associated TS Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCOs) for the RHR system using terms that are not clearly defined. This attachment aims to clarify those terms and also provide additional clarification on when containment closure requirements are initiated by site procedures.

Specifically, in Attachment 1 to the letter docketed under ML23289A215, under the section titled "Responses to Additional Audit Questions/Requests (Recorded/Added During Audit)," the response to Question 9 referenced APA-ZZ-00150, Appendix M, "Containment Closure,"

without providing additional information regarding the initiation requirements for containment closure. Additionally, a question was raised on why a time limitation was not applied to the new notes, similar to other notes applied to the RHR TS LCOs.

With respect to "reduced inventory" as used in the notes proposed to be added to TS LCOs 3.4.8 and 3.9.6, Ameren Missouri has incorporated the definition specified within NUMARC 91-06 for this term into site procedures. Specifically, reduced inventory is the PWR condition with fuel in the reactor vessel and level lower than three feet below the reactor vessel flange. At the Callaway plant, this corresponds to the reactor coolant system (RCS) level of 64" (i.e., 64 inches above the bottom of the inner diameter of the RCS hot leg piping).

With respect to "hot core" as used in the notes proposed to be added to TS LCOs 3.4.8 and 3.9.6, Ameren Missouri defines "hot core" as the present fuel cycle core within the reactor before refueling.

Site procedure APA-ZZ-00150 contains guidance for when containment closure should be established when in Modes 5, 6, or with loops not filled, within section 4.1.1 of the procedure.

Specifically:

  • When greater than 64 inches RCS level (not in reduced inventory), containment hatches and penetrations must be capable of being closed within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> or the time calculated for T-Boil, whichever is less. If an opening cannot be closed within these time constraints, it will remain closed.
  • During reduced inventory, containment hatches and penetrations must be capable of being closed within 30 minutes or the time calculated for T-Boil, whichever is less. If an opening cannot be closed within these time constraints, it will remain closed.
  • Additional administrative controls must be instituted if the demonstrated time to close the equipment hatch is greater than one-half the time calculated for T-boil. For example:

Attachment to ULNRC-06827 Page 3 of 3 o Prestage the equipment hatch closure team at the equipment hatch, o Limit what can be in the equipment hatch, such that any obstructions, e.g., cables and hoses, SEALAND boxes, cart or Hatch Transfer System rails that could prevent closure, can be quickly removed.

In the telephone conference held with the NRC staff on November 7, 2023, it was also identified that updated changes to the Bases for the revised TS, should be provided. The enclosure to the letter for this attachment provides the revised TS Bases markups associated with the LAR.

The TS Bases markups provide additional information clarifying the Notes proposed for TS LCOs 3.4.8, 3.7.11, and 3.9.6. A time limit was not considered to be necessary or included in the proposed Notes since the Notes already stipulate that Service Water is not allowed during the most elevated risk condition for the plant during a typical refueling outage, i.e., a hot core at reduced inventory. In addition, the overall time that the plant is in these LCOs (i.e., when the Note may be applied, exclusive of the hot-core, reduced-inventory condition) is typically a fraction of the overall time that a plant is in a refueling outage.

INSERT 1 Note 3 clarifies that the Service Water System may serve as the heat sink for one of the two required RHR loops, provided that one train of the Essential Service Water System serves as the heat sink for the other RHR loop. This allowance is dependent upon the plant not being in a reduced-inventory, hot-core condition. A hot core is the present fuel cycle core within the reactor (before refueling). Reduced inventory corresponds to an RCS level lower than 3 feet below the reactor vessel flange with fuel in the reactor vessel. Since a reduced inventory, hot-core condition is an elevated risk condition for the plant during Mode 5, the restriction in the Note for this condition ensures the decay heat removal function performed by the RHR system is supported by the safety-related Essential Service Water System (in lieu the non-safety Service Water System).

INSERT 2 The LCO is modified by a note to clarify that, in MODES 5 and 6, and during movement of irradiated fuel, one train of the Service Water System may serve as the heat sink for one of the two required CRACS trains, provided that one train of the Essential Service Water System serves as the heat sink for the other CRACS train. Cooling water for the CRACS trains is provided by the Service Water System or Essential Service Water System, as determined by system availability and plant operational constraints during MODES 5 and 6.

INSERT 3 The LCO is modified by a note to clarify that the Service Water System may serve as the heat sink for one of the two required RHR loops, provided that one train of the Essential Service Water System serves as the heat sink for the other RHR loop. This allowance is dependent upon the plant not being in a reduced-inventory, hot-core condition. A hot core is the present fuel cycle core within the reactor (before refueling).

Reduced inventory corresponds to an RCS level lower than 3 feet below the reactor vessel flange with fuel in the reactor vessel. Since a reduced inventory, hot-core condition is an elevated risk condition for the plant during Mode 6, the restriction in the Note for this condition ensures the decay heat removal function performed by the RHR system is supported by the safety-related Essential Service Water System (in lieu of the non-safety Service Water System).
