October 1 2, 2006 U . S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 2 In Reference 1, Exelon Generation Company, LLC, (EGC), requested an amendment to Appendix A, Technical Specifications (TS), of Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-1 1 and NPF-18 for LaSalle County Station (LSCS) Units 1 and 2 respectively . Specifically, the proposed changes were to modify TS Sections 3 .8.4, "DC Sources - Operating," 3.8.5, "DC Sources - Shutdown," 3.8.6, "Battery Cell Parameters," and 5 .5, "Programs and Manuals." The proposed changes also requested new actions for an inoperable battery charger and alternate battery charger testing criteria for Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) 3.8.4 and 3 .8 .5.
The proposed changes also included the relocation of a number of Surveillance Requirements (SRs) in TS Section 3.8.4 that perform preventive maintenance on the safety related batteries to a licensee-controlled program. It was proposed that TS Table 3 .8.6-1, "Battery Cell Parameter Requirements," be relocated to a licensee-controlled program, and specific actions with associated completion times for out-of-limits; conditions for battery cell voltage, electrolyte level, and electrolyte temperature be added to TS Section 3 .8.6. In addition, specific SRs were proposed for verification of these parameters.
A new program was also proposed for the maintenance and monitoring of station batteries based on the recommendations of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
Standard 450-1995, "IEEE Recommended Practice for Maintenance, Testing, and Replacement of Vented Lead-Acid Batteries for Stationary Applications ." The items relocated would be contained within this new program.
In Reference 2, the NRC requested additional information to complete the review of the license amendment. References 3 and 4 provided the requested information.
In a teleconference on August 24, 2006 additional information was requested by the NRC to complete the review of the proposed license amendment taking into consideration the NRC concerns with TSTF-360 that were discussed at a public meeting on July 12, 2006 (i.e.,
Reference 5). Reference 6 provided this additional information .
Following further discussions with the NRC, additional information was requested to clarify information provided in Reference 6. Attachment 1 provides an additional letter from GNB/NLI, (i .e., the battery manufacturer for the Division 1 250 VDC, Division 1 125 VDC and Division 2 125 VDC) which clarifies assurance of float current voltage. Attachment 2 provides a revision to TS 5 .5.14 that revises TS 5 .5 .14 .c to "verify that the remaining cells are ? 2.07 V when a cell or cells have been found to be < 2.13V."
significant EGC has reviewed the information supporting a finding of no hazards consideration that was previously provided to the NRC in Attachment 1 of Reference 1 . The supplemental information provided in this submittal does not affect the bases for concluding that the proposed license amendment does not involve a significant hazards consideration .
There are no regulatory commitments contained in this letter . Should you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact Ms. Alison Mackellar at (630) 657-2817 .

NUCLEAR LOGISTICS INC Date : October 11, 2006 To: Mr. Kent Nelson
Subject:
Float Current Mr. Nelson, This letter is to address the question presented by LaSalle Station via e-mail on October 9", 2006.
"The 09/08/2006 letter from GNB to NLI titled "Float Current Monitoring" included the following bullets:
" The concept of utilizing float current levels of a flooded, stationary string battery to determine a state of charge throughout the life of the battery is reasonable .
" The charge current of each battery can be affected by impurity levels, age, operating environment and maintenance history.
The NRC has asked LaSalle to provide clarification regarding these statements . Specifically, the NRC questioned if the statement that "the concept of utilizing float current . . . to determine a state of charge throughout the life of the battery is reasonable," conflicts with the statement that "the charge current of each battery can be affected by . . . age." Stated more succinctly, as a battery ages (no other factors present) will the float current of the battery at full charge change notably (i.e., so as to affect the current level used to determine state of charge)?"
Float current is expected to change over the life of a battery cell and/or string due to plate deterioration, grid corrosion, reduced capacity and contaminates. Neither GNB nor NLI has test data which documents the expected float current increase over the life of a naturally aged battery cell and/or string. However, GNB did document the float current during accelerated age testing performed on NCX battery cells. The cells were aged for an equivalent time period of 15 years at 60°C. Test data showed an increase in float current of =16% over the simulated 15 year period . ..
Based on the Tafel Curve (TC-107887) an NCN-27 (1944 Amp-Hour Rating) cell would have an initial float current of approximately 0.097 amps when on a float charge of 2.20 Volts Per Cell (VPC). An expected 16%
increase (based on accelerated age testing) would result in a float current of approximately 0.113 amps.

- Don, The 09/08/2006 letter from GNB to NU titled "Float Current Monitoring" includes the following bullets :
o The concept of utilizing float current levels of a flooded, stationary string battery to determine a state of charge throughout the life of the battery is reasonable .
o The charge current of each battery can be affected by impurity levels, age, operating environment and maintenance history.
The NRC has asked LaSalle to provide clarification regarding these statements. Specifically, the NRC questioned I We statement that "the concept of utilizing float current . . . to determine a state of charge throughout the life of the battery is reasonable," conflicts with the statement that "the charge current of each battery can be affected by . . . age! Stated more succinctly, as a battery ages (no other factors present) will the float current of the battery at full charge change notably (i.e., so as to affect the current level used to determine state of charge)?
A response to the NRC questions on this issue would be most appreciated .

Schmitt 800.872 .0471 NO tee Staff Engineer 6318622325 fax www.gnb.com GNB Network Power To: Mr. Don Davis owl GNB's position on the use of float current measurements by Exelon's LaSalle Station to determine the state of charge of flooded stationary lead-calcium batteries is as follows :
0 The concept of utilizing float current levels of a flooded, stationary string battery to determine a state of charge throughout the life of the battery is reasonable .
There is a relationship between percentage of ampere-hours returned following a successful discharge capacity test and battery state of charge.
Proper follow-up and verification of satisfactory float charge voltage, current and specific gravities is necessary to deetrerroine whether the battery is operating properly per GNB's Installation and Operating Manual, section 93.10.
The charge current of each battery and can be affected by impurity levels, age, operating environment and maintenance history .
I hope this addresses your concerns on this matter and that you will contact me with any further questions .
