1.0 INTRODUCTION
By application dated June 22, 2023 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML23173A069), as supplemented by letter dated January 2, 2024 (ML24002A740), Northern States Power Company, a Minnesota Corporation, doing business as Xcel Energy (NSPM, the licensee), requested changes to the technical specifications (TSs) for Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2.
The supplemental letter dated January 2, 2024, provided additional information that clarified the application, did not expand the scope of the application as originally noticed, and did not change the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ( NRC or Commission) staff's original proposed no significant hazards consideration determination as published in the Federal Register on September 5, 2023 (88 FR 60719).
The proposed changes would revise TS 3.7.8, Cooling Water (CL) System, Required Actions for Condition B from verification of operability of both CL pumps that supply the operable CL header to verification of the operability of a safeguards CL pump supplying the operable CL header. The proposed changes would also remove reference to an expired one-time allowance for the completion time for TS 3.7.8 Required Action B.1.
2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
2.1 Cooling Water System Description and Operation
The Prairie Island Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR), section 10.4.1, Cooling Water System (ML20118D373), states that the CL system is designed to provide redundant cooling water supplies with isolation valves to auxiliary feedwater pumps, Unit 1 diesel generators, air compressors, component cooling water heat exchangers, containment fan coil units, and the
Enclosure 3
Auxiliary Building unit coolers. The preferred source of water to the containment fan coil units and some Auxiliary Building unit coolers is provided by chilled water. The CL system provides an alternate source of water to these components.
The CL system is shared between both units and takes inventory from the Mississippi River.
The shared CL system contains five pumps: two safeguard diesel-driven pumps, two non-safeguard horizontal pumps, and one motor-driven pump assigned to either safeguard or non-safeguard. Both diesel-driven safeguard vertical pumps (normal) and the one motor-driven vertical (standby) pump provide water to two independent supply headers (Trains A and B). The supply configuration for Train A includes one safeguard diesel pump, one non-safeguard pump, and the shared motor-driven safeguard pump and Train B includes a separate safeguard diesel pump, one non-safeguard pump, and the shared motor-driven connection to supply header.
The USAR states that a ring header which is shared by Units 1 and 2 can be isolated automatically to provide two redundant independent sources of cooling water for all essential services. One-half of essential services for eac h unit is supplied from each side of the isolable loop. Each side of the loop is designed to supply the needs for all essential services for both units. Thus, failure of one side of the loop still provides for the operation of all equipment required for the safe shutdown of both Units.
The USAR describes normal operation of the CL system as using two non-safeguard horizontal pumps with a vertical motor-driven pump as a standby. Two vertical diesel-driven pumps are provided for emergency operation. The diesel-driven pumps are used whenever an engineered safety features sequence is initiated when discharge header pressure drops below its setpoint, or on a loss of offsite power (due to loss of motor driven pumps and resultant low discharge header pressure). The vertical motor-driven pump also functions as a replacement when a diesel-driven pump is taken out of service.
2.2 Proposed Change
The amendment requests to include the following changes to Prairie Island TS 3.7.8, Condition B:
The application requests to replace the existing Required Action B.1 which states:
Verify vertical motor driven CL pump OPERABLE
With a new Required Action B.1 as modified by a note:
NOTE-----------------
Opposite train diesel-driven CL pump may be verified to be OPERABLE by administrative means B.1 Verify opposite train safeguards CL pump OPERABLE
The NRC staff reviewed the proposed deletion of Required Action B.2 which states:
B.2 Verify opposite train diesel-driven CL pump OPERABLE.
existing Required Action B.3 is proposed to be renumber to B.2.
The submittal also requests to delete an expired TS note related to maintenance that has been completed.
2.3 Regulatory Requirements and Guidance
Regulatory Requirements
Under 10 CFR 50.90, whenever a holder of a li cense wishes to amend the license, including technical specifications in the license, an application for amendment must be filed, fully describing the changes desired. Under 10 CFR 50.92(a), determinations on whether to grant an applied-for license amendment are to be guided by t he considerations that govern the issuance of initial licenses or construction permits to the extent applicable and appropriate. Both the common standards in 10 CFR 50.40(a), and those specifically for issuance of operating licenses in 10 CFR 50.57(a)(3), provide that there must be reasonable assurance that the activities at issue will not endanger the health and safety of the public.
The categories of items required to be in the TSs are provided in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) section 50.36(c). As required by 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(i), the TSs will include limiting condition for operations (LCOs), which are the lowest functional capability or performance levels of equipment required for safe operation of the facility. Per 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(i), 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 TSs until the condition can be met. The remedial actions must continue to provide reasonable assurance of public health and safety.
Guidance
NRC Generic Letter (GL) 80-30, Clarification of the Term Operable as it Applies to Single Failure Criterion for Safety Systems Required by TS, dated April 10, 1980, (https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collect ions/gen-comm/gen-letters/1980/gl80030.html )
provides information on single failure and required redundancy while in a TS LCO action statement. GL 80-30 states, in part:
The specified time to take action, usually called the equipment out-of-service time, is a temporary relaxation of the single failure criterion, which, consistent with overall system reliability considerations, provides a limited time to fix equipment or otherwise make it OPERABLE. If equipment can be returned to OPERABLE status within the specified time, plant shutdown is not required.
NUREG-0800, Standard Review Plan (SRP), chapter 19, section 19.2, Review of Risk Information Used to Support Permanent Plant-Specif ic Changes to the Licensing Basis: General Guidance (ML071700658), provides guidance on the use of risk information in review of non-risk-informed license amendment requests (LARs). This section states, in part:
Special Circumstances represent conditions or situations that would raise questions about whether there is adequate protection and that could rebut the normal presumption of adequate protection from compliance with existing requirements.
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
3.1 Evaluation of Changes to TS 3.7.8, Cooling Water (CL) System
The current TS Required Actions B.1 and B.2 require both a vertical motor driven CL pump and the opposite train diesel -driven CL pump to be verified operable if Condition B is entered (one CL supply header was inoperable). As described in USAR, section 10.4.1.2, and restated in the LAR, the capacity of the safeguards motor-driven pump and each diesel-driven pump exceeds the maximum flow required for a single pump serving one unit in hot shutdown and a second unit in the long-term post-accident condition. Therefore, one diesel-driven pump or one safeguards motor-driven pump is sufficient to meet all the CL system loads required for the safe shutdown of both units (accident in only one unit). NRC GL 80-30 described the NRC staff position that when in an LCO action statement, the single-failure criterion is temporarily relaxed.
In this case, when in Condition B, safeguards CL pump redundancy is not required. The changes to Required Action B.1 and deletion of existing Required Action B.2 would eliminate this restrictive single-failure TS requirement and require verification of operability of only one 100-percent safeguards CL pump while in Condition B. The staff finds that because a 100-percent safeguards CL pump on the operable header will be verified operable with the proposed TS change, there will be reasonable assurance that the plant may be safety operated during the time that the LCO is not met.
The NRC staff reviewed the proposed note to modify new Required Action B.1, which states Opposite train diesel-driven CL pump may be verified to be OPERABLE by administrative means. Addition of this note to Required Action B.1 does not change any current operational requirements and provides additional clarity and is, therefore, acceptable.
The NRC staff reviewed the proposed renumbering of existing Required Action B.3 to B.2, and the proposed removal of the expired note associated with Required Action B.1 and found them to be administrative and are, therefore, acceptable.
The NRC staff finds the operable train will remain capable of performing the CL system safety function of keeping both units in safe shutdown (in the case one has a design basis event). With the CL system able to perform its safety function, the staff finds the TS change acceptable.
3.2 Risk Insights
While this is not a risk-informed LAR, the licensee provided risk insights related to the proposed change in section 3.0 of the Enclosure to the LAR. Because this is not a risk-informed LAR, the probabilistic risk assessment model s used to derive risk insights were not reviewed by the NRC staff to determine their technical acceptability to support this LAR. The licensee did not provide quantitative results, nor did it provide qualitative analysis regarding the impact the proposed change would have on risk.
The NRC staff reviewed the proposed changes to t he TS considering the risk insights provided by the licensee, and determined that special circumstances, as described in SRP section 19.2, which would have necessitated additional risk information be provided, did not exist. As such, the NRC staff did not request any additional risk information associated with the review of this
LAR. As discussed in section 3.1 of this safety evaluation (SE), sufficient deterministic information was supplied by the licensee for the NRC staff to make a safety finding on the request.
4.0 STATE CONSULTATION
In accordance with the Commission's regulations on, the Minnesota State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendments on March 1, 2024. The State official had no comments.
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
The amendments change the requirements with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR, part 20, or change the 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 and there has been no public comment on such finding (88 FR 60719; dated September 5, 2023). Accordingly, the amendments meet the eligibility criteria for catego rical 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 Commission's 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.
