Page 4 of 4 ATTACHMENT C LaSalle 1 O CFR 50.59 Evaluation Summary Report L 14-117-REMOVAL OF OFFGAS VULNERABILITIES ON VALVE 2N62-F057 Description of Activity:
The proposed activity is to replace the air operated valve actuator on valve 2N62-F057 for Unit 2. The existing actuator is air operated and fails closed on a reversing spring. Air supplied to the actuator opens valve 2N62-F057 and maintains it in the open position.
To close the valve and maintain it in the closed position, the air is vented off the diaphragm by a solenoid valve. The solenoid valve supplies air in its normally energized state. When the solenoid valve energizes, the actuator spring provides the motive force to close valve 2N62-F057.
The replacement actuator will fail open instead of closed, however, vulnerabilities to the failure of valve 2N62-F057, loss of power, and loss of air inadvertently closing the valve and resulting in a SCRAM on loss of condenser vacuum will be eliminated.
A normally energized solenoid valve will continue to be provided.
This results in no change to the redundant trip circuitry on the valve. When the trip circuit de-energizes the solenoid valve, air will be supplied to the top of the actuator diaphragm, which will close valve 2N62-F057.
An operator manual action to manipulate the valve hand wheel is conducted to verify valve 2N62-F057 is closed and will remain closed. To open the valve and maintain it in the open position, the air is vented off the top of the actuator diaphragm and a spring provides the motive force upward to open valve 2N62-F057.
On loss of air; the operator will perform a manual action to close valve 2N62-F057.
Summary of Conclusion for the Activity's 50.59 Review: The proposed activity involves changing the isolation of outlet valve 2N62-F057 to verify the automatic action isolations using an operator manual action and replacing the existing fail closed actuator on outlet valve 2N62-F057 with a fail open actuator.
This activity eliminates a single point vulnerability that causes plant trips due to loss of vacuum. Sin*ce the manual action to verify outlet valve 2N62-F057 closure can be performed prior to reaching any dose release limits, there is no impact on the plant as addressed in Design Analysis L-003884, which considered the time required to manually close the valve using the valve hand wheel. Should valve 2N62-F057 fail open when isolation is required, the manual action can be petiormed to close the valve and the calculated doses remain within the limits of BTP 11-5-2007.
The review accordingly concluded that this revision to the design bases:
- Does not result in more than a minimal increase the frequency or consequences any accident or transient.
- Does not result in more a minimal increase in the likelihood or consequences of a malfunction.
- Does not create a possibility of a different type of accident or transient.
- Does not create a possibility for a malfunction with a different result.
- Does not result in any design basis limit for a fission product barrier (DBLFPB) being exceeded or altered.
- Does not constitute a departure from UFSAR described method of evaluation.
The 50.59 Evaluation concluded that the activity could be implemented without prior NRC approval.
Page 1 of 9 ATTACHMENT C LaSalle 1 O CFR 50.59 Evaluation Summary Report L15-47-EVALUATION OF FUEL LICENSING IMPACT OF LOST JET PUMP SEALS IN PRIMARY SYSTEM Description of Activity:
The proposed activity involves the operation of LaSalle Unit 2 with three jet pump plug seals lost in the primary system, subject to, and within the operational restrictions and applicability set . forth in the Core Operating Limits Report (COLR). Review of the proposed activity and the associated referenced analyses assumes total flow blockage of the fuel support piece orifice flow to fuel assemblies with peripheral fuel support pieces. Summary of Conclusion for the Activity's 50.59 Review: The focus of the 50.59 review is the impact on the fuel and reload licensing bases from operation with the lost jet pump plug seals. Accordingly, GEH performed an evaluation of the impact of the lost parts using the relevant elements of its reload licensing methodology.
The GEH evaluation addressed thermal margin due to the blockage, impact on thermal-hydraulic stability, and impact on Anticipated Operational Occurrences.
The GEH evaluations conclude that the Safety Limit minimum critical power ratio (MCPR) limit is not violated, given the postulated flow blockage, thermal hydraulic instability, and transient scenarios associated with the proposed activity, if the reactor is operated within the restrictions of the COLA. Therefore, compliance with the transition boiling limits contained in the fuel cladding integrity MCPR Safety Limit is not challenged.
Compliance with the transient cladding strain limits and fuel performance limits during a postulated design basis LOCA, though less likely to be affected by a flow blockage event, is similarly not challenged.
The review accordingly concluded that this revision to the design bases:
- Does not result in more than a minimal increase the frequency or consequences any accident or transient.
- Does not result in more a minimal increase in the likelihood or consequences of a malfunction.
- Does not create a possibility of a different type of accident or transient.
- Does not create a possibility for a malfunction with a different result.
- Does not result in any design basis limit for a fission product barrier (DBLFPB) being exceeded or altered.
- Does not constitute a departure from UFSAR described method of evaluation.
The 50.59 Evaluation concluded that the activity could be implemented without prior NRC approval.
Page 2 of 9 ATTACHMENT C LaSalle 1 O CFR 50.59 Evaluation Summary Report L 15-138 -ON-LINE NOBLE METALS CHEMICAL (OLNC) INJECTION Description of Activity:
The proposed activity will apply noble metals on-line (On-Line NobleChemŽ-OLNC), which consists of injecting a Platinum solution into the reactor coolant through the feedwater system while the plant is operating in Mode 1, above 70 percent power. The application duration and slow injection rate allow for managing and controlling any increase in reactor coolant conductivity and main steam line radiation increases.
The reactor water cleanup system will be in operation to remove impurities, therefore, reducing the conductivity to normal level. Incremental increase in injection will take place to control the plant radiation response in main steam lines and to establish the steady and constant injection rate. Summary of Conclusion for the Activity's 50.59 Review: The online noble metal activity injects noble metal chemicals into the wetted surfaces of the reactor vessel through the feedwater system at a managed and controlled flow rates to ensure adequate film deposition on wetted surfaces of the reactor components to limit crack growth and ensures intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) mitigation.
The total amount of chemical being injected is minimal to have any adverse impact on the fuel and fuel cladding surfaces.
The chemical concentration is diluted so that the amount of impurities released from the restructured corrosion film inside the reactor is timely removed by the reactor water cleanup system. This ensures the chemical environment inside the reactor is maintained*
and additional corrosion cracking is mitigated.
The rate of injection is controlled such as to manage the main steam line radiation impacts on plant personnel, which maintains dose rates ALARA. The ONLC application is within the bounds of UFSAR safety and design bases limits. The review accordingly concluded that this revision to the design bases:
- Does not result in more than a minimal increase the frequency or consequences any accident or transient.
- Does not result in more a minimal increase in the likelihood or consequences of a malfunction.
- Does not create a possibility of a different type of accident or transient.
- Does not create a possibility for a malfunction with a different result.
- Does not result in any design basis limit for a fission product barrier (DBLFPB) being exceeded or altered.
- Does not constitute a departure from UFSAR described method of evaluation.
The 50.59 Evaluation concluded that the activity could be implemented without prior NRC approval.
Page 3 of 9 ATTACHMENTC LaSalle 1 O CFR 50.59 Evaluation Summary Report L15-167-REVIEW OF ATRIUM 10 PART LENGTH FUEL ROD OPERATION ABOVE 62 GWD/MTU Description of Activity:
The proposed activity is an evaluation of the potential impact of ATRIUM 10 fuel part-length fuel rod (PLR) operation above 62 GWD/MTU burnup (exposure) on the current plant licensing basis. This activity includes an evaluation of current design analyses to determine potential Alternative Source Term impact as well as an evaluation of the ATRIUM 1 O fuel rod mechanical design basis compliance.
The scope of the proposed activity is limited to the ATRIUM 10 fuel design at LaSalle Station. The results and limitation of the proposed activity are not applicable to other fuel designs or stations.
Summary of Conclusion for the Activity's 50.59 Review: The proposed activity focused on the impacts on the cladding barrier and radiological consequences described in the safety analyses.
The impacts on the cladding barrier were evaluated and was concluded that the proposed activity did not involve any new thermal, mechanical or hydraulic safety analyses, did not alter the bounding technical requirements for the ATRIUM 10 cladding and did not physically change the fuel rod or the way it is operated.
The evaluation performed on the radiological consequence safety analysis, specifically those based on Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.183 determined that the Fuel Handling Accident (FHA) was the only accident that required further consideration.
The proposed activity includes a revision to the FHA analysis of record to address this condition and concluded that the full length rod operating characteristics bound the partial length rods. This conclusion applies to any application of RG 1.183 footnote 11 involving ATRIUM-10 fuel at LaSalle Station. The review accordingly concluded that this revision to the design bases:
- Does not result in more than a minimal increase the frequency or consequences any accident or transient.
- Does not result in more a minimal increase in the likelihood or consequences of a malfunction.
- Does not create a possibility of a different type of accident or transient.
- Does not create a possibility for a malfunction with a different result.
- Does not result in any design basis limit for a fission product barrier (DBLFPB) being exceeded or altered.
- Does not constitute a departure from UFSAR described method of evaluation.
The 50.59 Evaluation concluded that the activity could be implemented without prior NRC approval.
Page 4 of 9 ATTACHMENT C LaSalle 1 O CFR 50.59 Evaluation Summary Report L15-213-REMOVAL OF OFFGAS VULNERABILITIES ON VALVE 1N62-F057 Description of Activity:
The proposed activity is to replace the air operated valve actuator on valve 1 N62-F057 for Unit 1. The existing actuator is air operated and fails closed on a reversing spring. Air supplied to the actuator opens valve 1 N62-F057 and maintains it in the open position.
To close the valve and maintain it in the closed position, the air is vented off the diaphragm by a solenoid valve. The solenoid valve supplies air in its normally energized state. When the solenoid valve energizes, the actuator spring provides the motive force to close valve 1 N62-F057:
The replacement actuator will fail open instead of closed, however, vulnerabilities related to the failure of valve 1 N62-F057, loss of power, and loss of air inadvertently closing the valve and resulting in a SCRAM on loss of condenser vacuum will be eliminated.
A normally energized solenoid valve will continue to be provided.
This results in no change to the redundant trip circuitry on the valve. When the trip circuit de energizes the solenoid valve, air will be supplied to the top of the actuator diaphragm, which will close valve 1 N62-F057.
An operator manual action to manipulate the valve hand wheel is conducted to verify valve 1 N62-F057 is closed and will remain closed. To open the valve and maintain it in the open position, the air is vented off the top of the actuator diaphragm and a spring provides the motive force upward to open valve 1 N62-F057.
On loss of air, the operator will perform a manual action to close valve 1 N62-F057.
Summary of Conclusion for the Activity's 50.59 Review: The proposed activity involves changing the isolation of outlet valve 1 N62-F057 to verify the automatic action isolations using an operator manual action and replacing the existing fail closed actuator on outlet valve 1 N62-F057 with a fail open actuator.
This activity eliminates a single point vulnerability that causes plant trips due to loss of vacuum. Since the manual action to verify outlet valve 1 N62-F057 closure can be performed prior to reaching any dose release limits, there is no impact on the plant as addressed in Design Analysis L-003884, which considered the time required to manually close the valve using the valve hand wheel. Should valve 1 N62-F057 fail open when isolation is required, the manual action can be performed to close the valve and the calculated doses remain within the limits of BTP 11-5-2007.
The review accordingly concluded that this revision to the design bases:
- Does not result in more than a minimal increase the frequency or consequences any accident or transient.
- Does not result in more a minimal increase in the likelihood or consequences of a malfunction.
- Does not create a possibility of a different type of accident or transient.
- Does not create a possibility for a malfunction with a different result.
- Does not result in any design basis limit for a fission product barrier (DBLFPB) being exceeded or altered.
- Does not constitute a departure from UFSAR described method of evaluation.
The 50.59 Evaluation concluded that the activity could be implemented without prior NRC approval.

SRV ACTUATIONS THAT THE ADS ACCUMULATOR BACK-UP COMPRESSED GAS SYSTEM (BOTTLE BANKS) REPLACE NITROGEN BOTTLES AT POWER TO SUPPORT TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Description of Activity:
The proposed activity is to revise 50.59 screening Ll3-198, which has a potential adverse condition identified by the NRC during a 2015 50.59 inspection.
Procedure LOP-IN-05, "Replacing Nitrogen Bottles on Instrument Nitrogen System," requires operators to pertorm a time critical manual action to change out four nitrogen bottles within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> to add additional nitrogen to meet Automatic Depressurization Systems (ADS) requirements in accordance with calculation L-003263, "Volume Requirements for (Automatic Depressurization Systems) ADS Back-up Compressed Gas System (Bottle Banks)." Calculation L-003263 was revised to address a non-conservative design input identified by GE regarding the quantity of compressed gas (nitrogen) that the ADS Accumulator Back-up Compressed Gas System (Bottle Banks) must provide to support operation during an accident.
For the implementation of this requirement, design analysis L-003263, Revision 3 was issued. NRC review of the UFSAR and supporting 50.59 screening L 13-198 identified that the UFSAR was not updated to discuss the operator action and that a 50.59 evaluation should have been pertormed in support of this change. Summary of Conclusion for the Activity's 50.59 Review: The proposed activity to revise 50.59 screening Ll3-198 resulted in a 50.59 evaluation to address NRC identified issues during 2015 50.59 inspection.
The performed evaluation concluded that the action to change out the bottles does not affect the ability of the ADS system to perform its intended automatic function and the action, which was intended to meet the Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 3.5.1.4 pressure requirements, has been proven to be achievable, which includes the time to deal with potential operator errors and procedures in place to sufficiently direct the activity.
The original proposed activity contained in screening Ll3-198, which revised Design Analysis L-003263 and formally accepts it as a design bases document is still applicable.
This activity also revised procedure LOP-IN-05 to add information about this activity and the action to change-out the bottles. There are no adverse impacts from the revised Design Analysis and procedure upon UFSAR described design functions and evaluation methodology.
The review accordingly concluded that this revision to the design bases:
- Does not result in more than a minimal increase the frequency or consequences any accident or transient.
- Does not result in more a minimal increase in the likelihood or consequences of a malfunction.
- Does not create a possibility of a different type of accident or transient.
- Does not create a possibility for a malfunction with a different result.
- Does not result in any design basis limit for a fission product barrier (DBLFPB) being exceeded or altered.
- Does not constitute a departure from UFSAR described method of evaluation.
The 50.59 Evaluation concluded that the activity could be implemented without prior NRC approval.
Page 6 of 9 ATTACHMENTC LaSalle 1 o CFR 50.59 Evaluation Summary Report L16-22-UNIT 1AND2 HYDROGEN WATER CHEMISTRY (HWC) SYSTEM UPGRADE Description of Activity:
The proposed activity is being performed to improve the reliability and availability of the Hydrogen Water Chemistry (HWC) system by installing new updated computer system and eliminating nuisance trips. Installation of a new replacement Operator Interface Unit in HWC control panels provides an operator with the means to monitor and control the HWC process and to collect data from the system for off-line analysis.
The Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) program will be revised to add a time delay to the High-High Hydrogen Area trip and the High Off-Gas Percent Hydrogen trip to avoid spurious trips. The Pl,.C program will also be updated to remove the Hydrogen Inject Differential Pressure Sensor, High Hydrogen Flow, High Hydrogen Pressure, Low Process Service Air, Off-Gas Monitor in Test Mode, and H2 Supply system trips. The alarms associated with these trips will be maintained.
Summary of Conclusion for the Activity's 50.59 Review: The activity involving removal of the HWC system trips will not cause the hydrogen concentration in off-gas to reach the lower explosive limit, and UFSAR 15.7.1.1.1 states a hydrogen detonation is not considered as a possible failure mode for the off-gas system because the equipment and piping are designed to contain any hydrogen-oxygen detonation.
The activity does not change the function, design basis, or normal operation of the HWC system as described in the UFSAR. The activity will improve the availability and reliability of the HWC system by eliminating spurious trips. The HWC system does not perform safety-related or accident function.
The review accordingly concluded that this revision to the design bases:
- Does not result in more than a minimal increase the frequency or consequences any accident or transient.
- Does not result in more a minimal increase in the likelihood or consequences of a malfunction.
- Does not create a possibility of a different type of accident or transient.
- Does not create a possibility for a malfunction with a different result.
- Does not result in any design basis limit for a fission product barrier (DBLFPB) being exceeded or altered.
- Does not constitute a departure from UFSAR described method of evaluation.
The 50.59 Evaluation concluded that the activity could be implemented without prior NRC approval.

-HPCS Injection Summary of Conclusion for the Activity's 50.59 Review: The proposed activity addresses the exclusion of certain PCIVs from 1 O CFR 50 Appendix J, Option B, Type C testing. This activity shows that the identified Penetrations and PCIVs meet the Regulatory, Industry Standards, Technical Specifications and Exelon Procedure requirements to be qualified as, "Boundaries that do not constitute potential primary containment atmospheric pathways during and following a OBA." Therefore, the identified Penetrations and PCIVs are eligible for exclusion from LLRT (Type C) in accordance with the . requirements of 1 O CFR 50, Appendix J, TS 5.5.13, "Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program," and Exelon Procedure ER-AA-380, "Primary Containment Leakrate Testing Program." The affected valves will continue to be leak tested in accordance with the In-Service Testing (IST) Program as required by 1 O CFR 50.55a. The activity does not affect system and plant operation, or safety analysis of the plant. The review accordingly concluded that this revision to the design bases:
- Does not result in more than a minimal increase the frequency or consequences any accident or transient.
- Does not result in more a minimal increase in the likelihood or consequences of a malfunction.
- Does not create a possibility of a different type of accident or transient.
- Does not create a possibility for a malfunction with a different result.
- Does not result in any design basis limit for a fission product barrier (DBLFPB) being exceeded or altered.
- Does not constitute a departure from UFSAR described method of evaluation.
The 50.59 Evaluation concluded that the activity could be implemented without prior NRC approval.
Page 8 of 9 ATTACHMENT C LaSalle 1 O CFR 50.59 Evaluation Summary Report L 16-43 -METHANOL INJECTION FOR UNIT 1 Description of Activity:
The proposed activity implements Methanol (MEOH) pilot demonstration, at low power *operation, during plant initial criticality and heatup to nominal operating temperatures and pressures, until the Hydrogen Water Chemistry system is ready to be placed in service. AREVA Technical Evaluation Document No.51-9241537-002 and Technical Safety Evaluation (TSE) Document No. 51-9249608
-001 have been used as the basis for the injection of Methanol and for the impact it has on Unit 1 structures, systems, and components.
The proposed activity is intended to compliment the BWR Vessel Internal Protection programs.
It is intended to assist in providing IGSCC mitigation during startup or shutdown periods, when the normal source of hydrogen is not available, and It is compatible with hydrogen water chemistry (HWC) addition.
Summary of Conclusion for the Activity's 50.59 Review: The activity has concluded that injection of methanol for the purpose of showing effective IGSCC mitigation does not affect safe plant operation and does not impact the health and safety of the public. Safe operations are not compromised during all phases of normal plant operations, Anticipated Operational Transients, or accident conditions previously analyzed.
No new accident conditions are introduced due to the injection of Methanol.
Frequency and consequences of accidents or malfunctions are not increased.
Fission product boundaries are not adversely affected; in actuality, a net positive impact is expected based on the extension of IGSCC mitigation to periods that are not currently protected.
Evaluation of the proposed injection of Methanol to the reactor vessel, during initial criticality and heatup, at the minute quantities specified by AREVA (i.e. less than 1 O ml/min Methanol at 100% assay for a maximum of 5 gallons of Methanol solution) has concluded that plant operations, design bases, and safety analyses are unchanged by this activity.
The review accordingly concluded that this revision to the design bases:
- Does not result in more than a minimal increase the frequency or consequences any accident or transient.
- Does not result in more a minimal increase in the likelihood or consequences of a malt unction.
- Does not create a possibility of a different type of accident or transient.
- Does not create a possibility for a malfunction with a different result.
- Does not result in any design basis limit for a fission product barrier (DBLFPB) being exceeded or altered.
- Does not constitute a departure from UFSAR described method of evaluation.
The 50.59 Evaluation concluded that the activity could be implemented without prior NRC approval Page 9 of 9 ATTACHMENT D LaSalle 1 O CFR 72.48 Evaluation Summary Report All 1 O CFR 72.48 reviews performed from the initiation of dry cask storage activities at LaSalle County Station through December 31, 2015 were screenings.

Page 4 of 4 ATTACHMENT C LaSalle 1 O CFR 50.59 Evaluation Summary Report L 14-117-REMOVAL OF OFFGAS VULNERABILITIES ON VALVE 2N62-F057 Description of Activity:
The proposed activity is to replace the air operated valve actuator on valve 2N62-F057 for Unit 2. The existing actuator is air operated and fails closed on a reversing spring. Air supplied to the actuator opens valve 2N62-F057 and maintains it in the open position.
To close the valve and maintain it in the closed position, the air is vented off the diaphragm by a solenoid valve. The solenoid valve supplies air in its normally energized state. When the solenoid valve energizes, the actuator spring provides the motive force to close valve 2N62-F057.
The replacement actuator will fail open instead of closed, however, vulnerabilities to the failure of valve 2N62-F057, loss of power, and loss of air inadvertently closing the valve and resulting in a SCRAM on loss of condenser vacuum will be eliminated.
A normally energized solenoid valve will continue to be provided.
This results in no change to the redundant trip circuitry on the valve. When the trip circuit de-energizes the solenoid valve, air will be supplied to the top of the actuator diaphragm, which will close valve 2N62-F057.
An operator manual action to manipulate the valve hand wheel is conducted to verify valve 2N62-F057 is closed and will remain closed. To open the valve and maintain it in the open position, the air is vented off the top of the actuator diaphragm and a spring provides the motive force upward to open valve 2N62-F057.
On loss of air; the operator will perform a manual action to close valve 2N62-F057.
Summary of Conclusion for the Activity's 50.59 Review: The proposed activity involves changing the isolation of outlet valve 2N62-F057 to verify the automatic action isolations using an operator manual action and replacing the existing fail closed actuator on outlet valve 2N62-F057 with a fail open actuator.
This activity eliminates a single point vulnerability that causes plant trips due to loss of vacuum. Sin*ce the manual action to verify outlet valve 2N62-F057 closure can be performed prior to reaching any dose release limits, there is no impact on the plant as addressed in Design Analysis L-003884, which considered the time required to manually close the valve using the valve hand wheel. Should valve 2N62-F057 fail open when isolation is required, the manual action can be petiormed to close the valve and the calculated doses remain within the limits of BTP 11-5-2007.
The review accordingly concluded that this revision to the design bases:
- Does not result in more than a minimal increase the frequency or consequences any accident or transient.
- Does not result in more a minimal increase in the likelihood or consequences of a malfunction.
- Does not create a possibility of a different type of accident or transient.
- Does not create a possibility for a malfunction with a different result.
- Does not result in any design basis limit for a fission product barrier (DBLFPB) being exceeded or altered.
- Does not constitute a departure from UFSAR described method of evaluation.
The 50.59 Evaluation concluded that the activity could be implemented without prior NRC approval.
Page 1 of 9 ATTACHMENT C LaSalle 1 O CFR 50.59 Evaluation Summary Report L15-47-EVALUATION OF FUEL LICENSING IMPACT OF LOST JET PUMP SEALS IN PRIMARY SYSTEM Description of Activity:
The proposed activity involves the operation of LaSalle Unit 2 with three jet pump plug seals lost in the primary system, subject to, and within the operational restrictions and applicability set . forth in the Core Operating Limits Report (COLR). Review of the proposed activity and the associated referenced analyses assumes total flow blockage of the fuel support piece orifice flow to fuel assemblies with peripheral fuel support pieces. Summary of Conclusion for the Activity's 50.59 Review: The focus of the 50.59 review is the impact on the fuel and reload licensing bases from operation with the lost jet pump plug seals. Accordingly, GEH performed an evaluation of the impact of the lost parts using the relevant elements of its reload licensing methodology.
The GEH evaluation addressed thermal margin due to the blockage, impact on thermal-hydraulic stability, and impact on Anticipated Operational Occurrences.
The GEH evaluations conclude that the Safety Limit minimum critical power ratio (MCPR) limit is not violated, given the postulated flow blockage, thermal hydraulic instability, and transient scenarios associated with the proposed activity, if the reactor is operated within the restrictions of the COLA. Therefore, compliance with the transition boiling limits contained in the fuel cladding integrity MCPR Safety Limit is not challenged.
Compliance with the transient cladding strain limits and fuel performance limits during a postulated design basis LOCA, though less likely to be affected by a flow blockage event, is similarly not challenged.
The review accordingly concluded that this revision to the design bases:
- Does not result in more than a minimal increase the frequency or consequences any accident or transient.
- Does not result in more a minimal increase in the likelihood or consequences of a malfunction.
- Does not create a possibility of a different type of accident or transient.
- Does not create a possibility for a malfunction with a different result.
- Does not result in any design basis limit for a fission product barrier (DBLFPB) being exceeded or altered.
- Does not constitute a departure from UFSAR described method of evaluation.
The 50.59 Evaluation concluded that the activity could be implemented without prior NRC approval.
Page 2 of 9 ATTACHMENT C LaSalle 1 O CFR 50.59 Evaluation Summary Report L 15-138 -ON-LINE NOBLE METALS CHEMICAL (OLNC) INJECTION Description of Activity:
The proposed activity will apply noble metals on-line (On-Line NobleChemŽ-OLNC), which consists of injecting a Platinum solution into the reactor coolant through the feedwater system while the plant is operating in Mode 1, above 70 percent power. The application duration and slow injection rate allow for managing and controlling any increase in reactor coolant conductivity and main steam line radiation increases.
The reactor water cleanup system will be in operation to remove impurities, therefore, reducing the conductivity to normal level. Incremental increase in injection will take place to control the plant radiation response in main steam lines and to establish the steady and constant injection rate. Summary of Conclusion for the Activity's 50.59 Review: The online noble metal activity injects noble metal chemicals into the wetted surfaces of the reactor vessel through the feedwater system at a managed and controlled flow rates to ensure adequate film deposition on wetted surfaces of the reactor components to limit crack growth and ensures intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) mitigation.
The total amount of chemical being injected is minimal to have any adverse impact on the fuel and fuel cladding surfaces.
The chemical concentration is diluted so that the amount of impurities released from the restructured corrosion film inside the reactor is timely removed by the reactor water cleanup system. This ensures the chemical environment inside the reactor is maintained*
and additional corrosion cracking is mitigated.
The rate of injection is controlled such as to manage the main steam line radiation impacts on plant personnel, which maintains dose rates ALARA. The ONLC application is within the bounds of UFSAR safety and design bases limits. The review accordingly concluded that this revision to the design bases:
- Does not result in more than a minimal increase the frequency or consequences any accident or transient.
- Does not result in more a minimal increase in the likelihood or consequences of a malfunction.
- Does not create a possibility of a different type of accident or transient.
- Does not create a possibility for a malfunction with a different result.
- Does not result in any design basis limit for a fission product barrier (DBLFPB) being exceeded or altered.
- Does not constitute a departure from UFSAR described method of evaluation.
The 50.59 Evaluation concluded that the activity could be implemented without prior NRC approval.
Page 3 of 9 ATTACHMENTC LaSalle 1 O CFR 50.59 Evaluation Summary Report L15-167-REVIEW OF ATRIUM 10 PART LENGTH FUEL ROD OPERATION ABOVE 62 GWD/MTU Description of Activity:
The proposed activity is an evaluation of the potential impact of ATRIUM 10 fuel part-length fuel rod (PLR) operation above 62 GWD/MTU burnup (exposure) on the current plant licensing basis. This activity includes an evaluation of current design analyses to determine potential Alternative Source Term impact as well as an evaluation of the ATRIUM 1 O fuel rod mechanical design basis compliance.
The scope of the proposed activity is limited to the ATRIUM 10 fuel design at LaSalle Station. The results and limitation of the proposed activity are not applicable to other fuel designs or stations.
Summary of Conclusion for the Activity's 50.59 Review: The proposed activity focused on the impacts on the cladding barrier and radiological consequences described in the safety analyses.
The impacts on the cladding barrier were evaluated and was concluded that the proposed activity did not involve any new thermal, mechanical or hydraulic safety analyses, did not alter the bounding technical requirements for the ATRIUM 10 cladding and did not physically change the fuel rod or the way it is operated.
The evaluation performed on the radiological consequence safety analysis, specifically those based on Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.183 determined that the Fuel Handling Accident (FHA) was the only accident that required further consideration.
The proposed activity includes a revision to the FHA analysis of record to address this condition and concluded that the full length rod operating characteristics bound the partial length rods. This conclusion applies to any application of RG 1.183 footnote 11 involving ATRIUM-10 fuel at LaSalle Station. The review accordingly concluded that this revision to the design bases:
- Does not result in more than a minimal increase the frequency or consequences any accident or transient.
- Does not result in more a minimal increase in the likelihood or consequences of a malfunction.
- Does not create a possibility of a different type of accident or transient.
- Does not create a possibility for a malfunction with a different result.
- Does not result in any design basis limit for a fission product barrier (DBLFPB) being exceeded or altered.
- Does not constitute a departure from UFSAR described method of evaluation.
The 50.59 Evaluation concluded that the activity could be implemented without prior NRC approval.
Page 4 of 9 ATTACHMENT C LaSalle 1 O CFR 50.59 Evaluation Summary Report L15-213-REMOVAL OF OFFGAS VULNERABILITIES ON VALVE 1N62-F057 Description of Activity:
The proposed activity is to replace the air operated valve actuator on valve 1 N62-F057 for Unit 1. The existing actuator is air operated and fails closed on a reversing spring. Air supplied to the actuator opens valve 1 N62-F057 and maintains it in the open position.
To close the valve and maintain it in the closed position, the air is vented off the diaphragm by a solenoid valve. The solenoid valve supplies air in its normally energized state. When the solenoid valve energizes, the actuator spring provides the motive force to close valve 1 N62-F057:
The replacement actuator will fail open instead of closed, however, vulnerabilities related to the failure of valve 1 N62-F057, loss of power, and loss of air inadvertently closing the valve and resulting in a SCRAM on loss of condenser vacuum will be eliminated.
A normally energized solenoid valve will continue to be provided.
This results in no change to the redundant trip circuitry on the valve. When the trip circuit de energizes the solenoid valve, air will be supplied to the top of the actuator diaphragm, which will close valve 1 N62-F057.
An operator manual action to manipulate the valve hand wheel is conducted to verify valve 1 N62-F057 is closed and will remain closed. To open the valve and maintain it in the open position, the air is vented off the top of the actuator diaphragm and a spring provides the motive force upward to open valve 1 N62-F057.
On loss of air, the operator will perform a manual action to close valve 1 N62-F057.
Summary of Conclusion for the Activity's 50.59 Review: The proposed activity involves changing the isolation of outlet valve 1 N62-F057 to verify the automatic action isolations using an operator manual action and replacing the existing fail closed actuator on outlet valve 1 N62-F057 with a fail open actuator.

SRV ACTUATIONS THAT THE ADS ACCUMULATOR BACK-UP COMPRESSED GAS SYSTEM (BOTTLE BANKS) REPLACE NITROGEN BOTTLES AT POWER TO SUPPORT TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Description of Activity:
The proposed activity is to revise 50.59 screening Ll3-198, which has a potential adverse condition identified by the NRC during a 2015 50.59 inspection.
Procedure LOP-IN-05, "Replacing Nitrogen Bottles on Instrument Nitrogen System," requires operators to pertorm a time critical manual action to change out four nitrogen bottles within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> to add additional nitrogen to meet Automatic Depressurization Systems (ADS) requirements in accordance with calculation L-003263, "Volume Requirements for (Automatic Depressurization Systems) ADS Back-up Compressed Gas System (Bottle Banks)." Calculation L-003263 was revised to address a non-conservative design input identified by GE regarding the quantity of compressed gas (nitrogen) that the ADS Accumulator Back-up Compressed Gas System (Bottle Banks) must provide to support operation during an accident.
For the implementation of this requirement, design analysis L-003263, Revision 3 was issued. NRC review of the UFSAR and supporting 50.59 screening L 13-198 identified that the UFSAR was not updated to discuss the operator action and that a 50.59 evaluation should have been pertormed in support of this change. Summary of Conclusion for the Activity's 50.59 Review: The proposed activity to revise 50.59 screening Ll3-198 resulted in a 50.59 evaluation to address NRC identified issues during 2015 50.59 inspection.
The performed evaluation concluded that the action to change out the bottles does not affect the ability of the ADS system to perform its intended automatic function and the action, which was intended to meet the Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 3.5.1.4 pressure requirements, has been proven to be achievable, which includes the time to deal with potential operator errors and procedures in place to sufficiently direct the activity.
The original proposed activity contained in screening Ll3-198, which revised Design Analysis L-003263 and formally accepts it as a design bases document is still applicable.
This activity also revised procedure LOP-IN-05 to add information about this activity and the action to change-out the bottles. There are no adverse impacts from the revised Design Analysis and procedure upon UFSAR described design functions and evaluation methodology.
The review accordingly concluded that this revision to the design bases:
- Does not result in more than a minimal increase the frequency or consequences any accident or transient.
- Does not result in more a minimal increase in the likelihood or consequences of a malfunction.
- Does not create a possibility of a different type of accident or transient.
- Does not create a possibility for a malfunction with a different result.
- Does not result in any design basis limit for a fission product barrier (DBLFPB) being exceeded or altered.
- Does not constitute a departure from UFSAR described method of evaluation.
The 50.59 Evaluation concluded that the activity could be implemented without prior NRC approval.
Page 6 of 9 ATTACHMENTC LaSalle 1 o CFR 50.59 Evaluation Summary Report L16-22-UNIT 1AND2 HYDROGEN WATER CHEMISTRY (HWC) SYSTEM UPGRADE Description of Activity:
The proposed activity is being performed to improve the reliability and availability of the Hydrogen Water Chemistry (HWC) system by installing new updated computer system and eliminating nuisance trips. Installation of a new replacement Operator Interface Unit in HWC control panels provides an operator with the means to monitor and control the HWC process and to collect data from the system for off-line analysis.
The Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) program will be revised to add a time delay to the High-High Hydrogen Area trip and the High Off-Gas Percent Hydrogen trip to avoid spurious trips. The Pl,.C program will also be updated to remove the Hydrogen Inject Differential Pressure Sensor, High Hydrogen Flow, High Hydrogen Pressure, Low Process Service Air, Off-Gas Monitor in Test Mode, and H2 Supply system trips. The alarms associated with these trips will be maintained.
Summary of Conclusion for the Activity's 50.59 Review: The activity involving removal of the HWC system trips will not cause the hydrogen concentration in off-gas to reach the lower explosive limit, and UFSAR 15.7.1.1.1 states a hydrogen detonation is not considered as a possible failure mode for the off-gas system because the equipment and piping are designed to contain any hydrogen-oxygen detonation.
The activity does not change the function, design basis, or normal operation of the HWC system as described in the UFSAR. The activity will improve the availability and reliability of the HWC system by eliminating spurious trips. The HWC system does not perform safety-related or accident function.
The review accordingly concluded that this revision to the design bases:
- Does not result in more than a minimal increase the frequency or consequences any accident or transient.
- Does not result in more a minimal increase in the likelihood or consequences of a malfunction.
- Does not create a possibility of a different type of accident or transient.
- Does not create a possibility for a malfunction with a different result.
- Does not result in any design basis limit for a fission product barrier (DBLFPB) being exceeded or altered.
- Does not constitute a departure from UFSAR described method of evaluation.
The 50.59 Evaluation concluded that the activity could be implemented without prior NRC approval.

Page 8 of 9 ATTACHMENT C LaSalle 1 O CFR 50.59 Evaluation Summary Report L 16-43 -METHANOL INJECTION FOR UNIT 1 Description of Activity:
The proposed activity implements Methanol (MEOH) pilot demonstration, at low power *operation, during plant initial criticality and heatup to nominal operating temperatures and pressures, until the Hydrogen Water Chemistry system is ready to be placed in service. AREVA Technical Evaluation Document No.51-9241537-002 and Technical Safety Evaluation (TSE) Document No. 51-9249608
-001 have been used as the basis for the injection of Methanol and for the impact it has on Unit 1 structures, systems, and components.
The proposed activity is intended to compliment the BWR Vessel Internal Protection programs.
It is intended to assist in providing IGSCC mitigation during startup or shutdown periods, when the normal source of hydrogen is not available, and It is compatible with hydrogen water chemistry (HWC) addition.
Summary of Conclusion for the Activity's 50.59 Review: The activity has concluded that injection of methanol for the purpose of showing effective IGSCC mitigation does not affect safe plant operation and does not impact the health and safety of the public. Safe operations are not compromised during all phases of normal plant operations, Anticipated Operational Transients, or accident conditions previously analyzed.
No new accident conditions are introduced due to the injection of Methanol.
Frequency and consequences of accidents or malfunctions are not increased.
Fission product boundaries are not adversely affected; in actuality, a net positive impact is expected based on the extension of IGSCC mitigation to periods that are not currently protected.
Evaluation of the proposed injection of Methanol to the reactor vessel, during initial criticality and heatup, at the minute quantities specified by AREVA (i.e. less than 1 O ml/min Methanol at 100% assay for a maximum of 5 gallons of Methanol solution) has concluded that plant operations, design bases, and safety analyses are unchanged by this activity.
The review accordingly concluded that this revision to the design bases:
- Does not result in more than a minimal increase the frequency or consequences any accident or transient.
- Does not result in more a minimal increase in the likelihood or consequences of a malt unction.
- Does not create a possibility of a different type of accident or transient.
- Does not create a possibility for a malfunction with a different result.
- Does not result in any design basis limit for a fission product barrier (DBLFPB) being exceeded or altered.
- Does not constitute a departure from UFSAR described method of evaluation.
The 50.59 Evaluation concluded that the activity could be implemented without prior NRC approval Page 9 of 9 ATTACHMENT D LaSalle 1 O CFR 72.48 Evaluation Summary Report All 1 O CFR 72.48 reviews performed from the initiation of dry cask storage activities at LaSalle County Station through December 31, 2015 were screenings.
