~U.,~\\

2024 ic My Commission Expires '5 / d3 I d-03.b to AEP-NRC-2024-76 Supplement to License Amendment Request Regarding One-Time Extension of Completion Time for Inoperable AC Source - Operating By letter dated April 3, 2024 (Reference 1 ), Indiana Michigan Power Company (l&M, the licensee) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) for the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant (CNP), Units 1 and 2. The proposed LAR would revise Technical Specification {TS) 3.8.1, "AC Sources -

Operating," by adding a footnote for TS 3.8.1, Required Action A.3 to allow a one-time completion time (CT) extension from 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> to 288 hours0.00333 days <br />0.08 hours <br />4.761905e-4 weeks <br />1.09584e-4 months <br /> to support the replacement of the 12AB {Train B)

Loop Feed Enclosure (LFE) and associated bus for the Train B reserve feed preferred power source.

By letter dated May 7, 2024 (Reference 2), the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) informed l&M that the proposed LAR (Reference 1) would need to be supplemented, to be accepted, to address several items relating to NRC Branch Technical Position 8-8 that were not found in the LAR. By letter dated May 16, 2024 (Reference 3), l&M provided a supplement to Reference 1 that would address Reference 2.

This Enclosure 2 to this letter contains a supplement to Reference 1 and Reference 3 to address a single item that was discovered by l&M personnel during their review of Reference 1 and Reference 3 in preparation of implementation.

In Section "2.4 Description of the Proposed Change" in Reference 1, l&M provided a proposed footnote.

Original Footnote stated in Section 2.4, Enclosure 3 and Enclosure 4 of Reference 1:

(a) For Train B only, the Completion Time that Train B can be inoperable as specified by Required Action A.3 may be extended beyond the "72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />" up to "288 hours0.00333 days <br />0.08 hours <br />4.761905e-4 weeks <br />1.09584e-4 months <br />," to support modification of the Train B Reserve Feed 12AB Loop Feed Enclosure. Upon completion of the modification and restoration this footnote is no longer applicable. Compensatory measures described within CNP letter AEP-NRC-2024-02, dated April 3, 2024 will remain in effect during the extended period. The one-time extension shall expire upon completion of the modification and restoration of operability for Train B.

Based on the NRC's request in Reference 2, the original footnote in Reference 1 was replaced in its entirety with the revised footnote below.

to AEP-NRC-2024-76 Page 2 Revised Footnote stated in Reference 3:

(a) For Train B only, the Completion Time that Train B can be inoperable as specified by Required Action A.3 may be extended beyond the "72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />" up to "288 hours0.00333 days <br />0.08 hours <br />4.761905e-4 weeks <br />1.09584e-4 months <br />," to support modification of the Train B Reserve Feed 12AB Loop Feed Enclosure. Upon completion of the modification and restoration this footnote is no longer applicable. Prior to entry into the 288-hour extended Completion Time, the Supplemental Diesel Generators (SDGs) shall be verified as available. During the 288-hour extended Completion Time, the SDGs shall be verified as available once per shift. If the SDGs becomes unavailable after the initial 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> while in the extended 288-hour Completion Time period, it shall be made available within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, or the unit shall be brought to MODE 3 within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and MODE 4 within the following 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />. This 24-hour period will be allowed only once within the single extended Completion Time. Compensatory measures described within CNP letter AEP-NRC-2024-02, dated April 3, 2024, and supplemented by AEP-NRC-2024-40, dated May 16th, will remain in effect during the extended period. The one-time extension shall expire upon completion of the modification and restoration of operability for Train B.

to AEP-NRC-2024-76 Page 3 As stated in Section 2.2 "Current Technical Specification Requirements" of Reference 1, the current CNP TS state:

"2.2 Current Technical Specification requirements CNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 TS 3.8.1, *~c Sources - Operating," requires two qualified offsite circuits and separate and independent Diesel Generators (DGs) for each train to ensure availability of the required power to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition after an anticipated operational transient or a postulated design basis accident (OBA) in Modes 1, 2, 3, and 4. When one offsite circuit is inoperable, Condition A is entered with a Required Action to restore the train to operable status with a Completion Time of 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />. If Condition A and its associated Completion Time are not met, then entry into Condition G is required. Condition G requires the action to place the unit (applicable to Unit 1 and Unit 2) in Mode 3 within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and Mode 5 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />. l&M is requesting a one-time-use extension of the TS 3.8.1, Condition A.3, Completion Time from 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> to 288 hours0.00333 days <br />0.08 hours <br />4.761905e-4 weeks <br />1.09584e-4 months <br /> (12 days) that would allow continued plant operation for only the additional time needed to modify the bus structure and restore the inoperable Train B reserve feed to Operable status."

G. Required Action and associated Completion Time of Condition A, C, D, E, or F not met.

OR Required Action and Associated Completion Time of Required Action 8.2, 8.3, B.4.1, B.4.2, or 8.5 not met.

G.1 Be in MODE 3.

6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> AND G.2 Be in MODE 5.

36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> During l&M's review of Reference 1 and Reference 3 an inconsistency was identified between the footnote provided in Reference 3 and the current TS 3.8.1 Condition G. The footnote stated:

"If the SDGs becomes unavailable after the initial 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> while in the extended 288-hour Completion Time period, it shall be made available within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, or the unit shall be brought to MODE 3 within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and MODE 4 within the following 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />." This statement is in contradiction to CNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 TS, above, in that the footnote requires placing the unit in Mode 4 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> while the current CNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 TS would require placing the unit in Mode 5 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />.

This footnote was included in the Unit 1 and Unit 2 Technical Specification marked up page, Enclosures 3 and 4, respectively, of Reference 1 and Reference 3. These Enclosures 3 and 4 of Reference 1 and Reference 3 are being replaced in their entirety by Enclosures 3 and 4 of this letter.

(a) For Train B only, the Completion Time that Train B can be inoperable as specified by Required Action A.3 may be extended beyond the "72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />" up to "288 hours0.00333 days <br />0.08 hours <br />4.761905e-4 weeks <br />1.09584e-4 months <br />," to support modification of the Train B Reserve Feed 12AB Loop Feed Enclosure. Upon completion of the modification and restoration this footnote is no longer applicable.
