2008 Evaluation Number: Engineering Change Request No. 07-00644 Brief

== Description:==

Engineering Change Request (ECR) 07-00644 implements the removal of the Decay Heat River Water 1 A Strainer internals, installation of a blind flange, and installation of temporary instrumentation.
The strainer internals are being removed to facilitate strainer media improvements.
The installation of a blind flange is needed to restore the system pressure boundary to allow system train operations, and the pressure drop instrumentation facilitates increased surveillance of Decay Heat Closed Cooling Water System Cooler 2A to ensure continued operability.
Safety Evaluation (SE) SE-000533-012 evaluated installation of this temporary change. This change was implemented in 2008 and removed in 2009.1 Summary of Evaluation:
ECR 07-00644 implements a temporary change to the Decay Heat River Water System Strainer 1A to remove the strainer internals.
The removal of the strainer based on prior system experience did not result in operating the system outside of its original design requirements.
Implementation of temporary cooler pressure difference instrumentation and monitoring provides assurance the Decay Heat Closed Cooling Water System Cooler 2A design -function of removing heat continues to be ensured. All system functions continued to be satisfied with the removal of the strainer internals per this temporary change ECR and related 50.59 Safety Evaluation.
3 2008-2009 Biennial I0CFR 50.59 and Commitment Revision Reports The 50.59 Safety Evaluation SE-000533-012 evaluated an activity similar to 50.59 Evaluation SE-000533-011 which was the subject of an NRC Non-Cited Violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 50.59 as documented in NRC Component Design Bases Inspection Report 05000289/2009006.
The NRC disagreed with the basis of the 50.59 Safety Evaluation SE-000533-011 and determined that NRC approval was required prior to implementing the associated activity (Reference TMI ECR 06-00371).
Although not directly the subject of the NRC violation, 50.59 Evaluation SE-000533-012 addressed the exact same activity on the opposite train of the Decay Heat River Water System (Reference TMI ECR 07-00644).
Temporary Changes ECR 06-00371 and 07-00644 have been removed and restored the licensing basis of the plant.Title: Reactor Building Emergency Cooling Design Flow Change Year Implemented:
2009 Evaluation Number: Engineering Change Request No. TM-09-00703 Brief

== Description:==

Prior analysis of the Reactor Building Emergency Cooling System capability assumed that the limiting design basis configuration was one Reactor River (RR)pump providing flow through two emergency coolers. Through a reassessment of the application of single failure criteria, it was determined that the limiting design basis configuration is with RR flow through all three coolers. The affect is that the RR pump test acceptance criteria has been inaccurate and non-conservative.
The RR pump performance margin is low. To establish margin for the Fall 2009 TMI Refueling Outage testing, the system RR backpressure control setpoint and system design flow rate requirement were reduced.The pressure control band for the RR backpressure control valve (RR-V-6) was reduced to reallocate margin. Nevertheless, RR pressure remains above Reactor Building post-accident pressure to maintain containment integrity for any RR system leakage issue.The effect of a lower RR flow rate has been analyzed by revising the RR hydraulic model, and associated design basis calculations.
The UFSAR was revised to describe the new minimum RR system performance requirement of 1450 gpm (versus old 1600 gpm), and to describe a revised requirement to maintain RR backpressure above the maximum design basis accident containment pressure.4 2008-2009 Biennial I0CFR 50.59 and Commitment Revision Reports Summary of Evaluation:
The 50.59 Evaluation concluded that neither prior NRC approval nor License Amendment are required for the-activity to change RR design flow rate, or the activity to change RR-V-6 setpoint.
A reduction in RR design flow rate from 1600 to 1450 gpm does involve a change to a system, structure, or component that adversely affects an UFSAR described design function, since the flow rate is a design input into the analyses of containment response to a design basis Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA), and the Main Steam Line Break (MSLB), and is a reduction in margin for cooling water flow rate to the coolers for the Reactor Building.
As described in the 50.59 Evaluation, the change in the design RR flow rate is insignificant with respect to Post-accident Reactor Building conditions (peak containment pressure and temperature).
Furthermore, the change to the control band for the RR backpressure control valve (RR-V-6) still maintains the system pressure greater than the Reactor Building post-accident pressure.Title: Containment Opening Year Implemented:
2009 Evaluation Number: Engineering Change Request No. TM-06-00816/SE-000153-021 Brief

== Description:==

To support the Three Mile Island -Unit 1 Steam Generator Replacement (SGR)Project, a Containment Opening will be made into the TMI-1 Reactor Building concrete wall and liner plate at the 2900 azimuth, and directly above the existing Equipment Hatch. The Containment Opening will provide access to the Reactor Building in order to remove the old steam generators (OTSGs) from the Reactor Building and place the new Enhanced Once-Through Steam Generators (EOTSGs) into the Reactor Building.
At the completion of steam generator rigging and handling, the Containment Opening area will be restored.
ECR TM 06-00816 demonstrates equivalence of the restored liner plate and Reactor Building wall at the Containment Opening area. Implementation involves pre-outage (Unit 1 online) de-tensioning of selected Reactor Building tendons which has been determined to be a test or experiment not described in the UFSAR, where the proposed pre-outage tendon de-tensioning is inconsistent with analyses or descriptions in the UFSAR. Further, missile protection capability of the Reactor Building is degraded by creation of the Containment Opening during shutdown conditions.
These two issues do not screen out as a result of performing a 10 CFR 50.59 Screening, and therefore are evaluated by a 10 CFR 50.59 Evaluation.
Summary of Evaluation:
5 2008-2009 Biennial J0CFR 50.59 and Commitment Revision Reports For reasons presented in the above brief description, the safety significance of the following two (2) issues must be identified and successfully addressed prior to implementation of ECR TM 06-00816.
Note that due to complexity of these issues, the summary below presents the principle arguments and is not meant to be exhaustive in all 10 CFR 50.59 Evaluation aspects. The reader is advised to refer directly to the 10 CFR 50.59 Evaluation for a complete treatment of these subject two (2) issues.Pre-Outage De-tensioninq of Selected Reactor Building Tendons Reactor Building tendons provide tensile strength to the Reactor Building concrete wall necessary to withstand design pressure (Pd). This, in turn, bounds the maximum pressure expected to be result of a design basis accident (Loss-of-Coolant-Accident, LOCA). De-tensioning of the tendons with Unit 1 at operation when a LOCA is possible poses a challenge to the function of the Reactor Building.
The analytical basis for pre-outage tendon de-tensioning must be properly demonstrated in order to assure that the Reactor Building remains structurally capable of withstanding Pd, and ensures that UFSAR-specified limits on concrete stress are not exceeded.
Accordingly, the analytical basis provided in Calculation 38455-CALC-C-052, "Post-Tensioning System Operational Requirements," has determined that up to six (6) vertical tendons and two (2)horizontal tendons may be de-tensioned and meet the acceptance criteria for the Reactor Building design function.
Based on this analysis, the accident mitigation capability and the structural integrity of the fission product barrier of the Reactor Building are maintained.
No 10 CFR 50.59 Evaluation question (1 through 8)resulted in an affirmative response that would invoke NRC review of this activity.Tornado Missile Vulnerability with the Creation of the Containment Opening With the concrete removed to create the Containment Opening, and with only the containment liner plate present, the UFSAR-described design functional capability of the Reactor Building to protect Systems, Structures, and Components (SSCs)housed within the Reactor Building must be considered to be degraded.
Restated, in this temporary configuration, the containment liner plate alone is insufficient to completely arrest a hypothetical design basis tornado missile from entering the building.
The period of vulnerability during which this configuration is expected to exist is, however, brief, and when weighed against the likelihood of occurrence of a tornado required to produce design basis tornado missiles, the conclusion of Calculation TM-MISC-01, "Evaluation of Tornado Missile Risk for 1 R1 8," concludes that the risk is not significant.
Per the guidance of the Exelon 50.59 Resource Manual in cases where risk has been demonstrated not to be significant, the likelihood of occurrence of SSC malfunctions and consequences pertaining to malfunctions of accident mitigation equipment may be concluded to not be increased.
In reference to 50.59 Evaluation Question 7, the fission product boundary function of the containment liner plate (with the concrete.
removed) is maintained in the face of a potential loss of decay heat removal capability (with fuel 6 2008-2009 Biennial I0CFR 50.59 and Commitment Revision Reports still present in the reactor).
No 10 CFR 50.59 Evaluation question (1 through 8)results in an affirmative response that would invoke NRC review of this activity.Title: Removal of Reactor Building Sump Area Radiation Monitor 21 (RM-G-21)Year Implemented:
2009 Evaluation Number: Engineering Change Request No. TM 09-00524 Brief

== Description:==

Because ECR TM 09-00524 removes RM-G-21 and the associated Liquid Radwaste Disposal System Valve 534 (WDL-V-534) and Liquid Radwaste Disposal System Valve 535 (WDL-V-535) interlocks from the plant, this activity involves a change to an SSC that adversely affects UFSAR described design function described by Sections 5.3 and 11.4. Screening Question 1 is answered"YES". Therefore, A 50.59 Evaluation is required.
All other Screening questions are answered "NO".Summary of Evaluation:
RM-G-21 and the associated WDL-V-534 and WDL-V-535 interlocks were installed in response to NUREG-0800, Standard Review Plan (SRP), Section 6.2.4, Paragraph 11.6.m. In response to the SRP, Technical Data Report (TDR)083 identified the requirement to install new radiation monitor RM-G-21 with automatic interlocks to close Reactor Building (RB) sump drain line containment isolation valves WDL-V-534 and WDL-V-535 on high radiation.
RM-G-21 was subsequently installed as a TMI-1 Restart Commitment.
However, NUREG 0737, Enclosure 3, Section I1.E.4.2, "Clarification" Paragraph (1) states that the reference to SRP 6.2.4 is only to the diversity requirements set forth in that document.
Per TDR-083, diversity requirements for containment isolation valves are satisfied by the Reactor Protection System, Reactor Trip Isolation (RTI)function.
The existing RTI function for WDL-V-535 and WDL-V-535 is not affected by the removal of the RM-G-21 interlocks.
Based on the above discussion and because RM-G-21 is not identified in the current TMI-1 Commitment Tracking Database, there is no specific regulatory requirement for RM-G-21 and the associated WDL-V-534 and WDL-V-535 interlocks.
With regard to the operational impact, removing RM-G-21 indication from the Control Room and Plant Process Computer (PPC) is acceptable because the RM-G-21 indication function is diverse but not critical.
Redundant indication of Reactor Building radiation conditions will continue to be provided by Technical Specifications required Radiation Monitors RM-A-2 (RB Atmosphere Monitor)and RM-G-22 and RM-G-23 (redundant High Range Containment Area Monitors).
In addition, RM-L-1 (RCS Letdown Monitor) would indicate an 7 2008-2009 Biennial IOCFR 50.59 and Commitment Revision Reports increase in reactor coolant activity that may lead to high RB sump radiation levels.Procedure Changes There were no 1 OCFR50.59 required procedure changes for this reporting period.End of 10CFR50.59 Revision Report 8 2008-2009 Biennial I0CFR 50.59 and Commitment Revision Reports EXELON CORPORATION THREE MILE ISLAND UNIT 1 DOCKET NO 50-289 BIENNIAL COMMITMENT REVISION REPORT JANUARY 1, 2008 THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2009 9 2008-2009 Biennial IOCFR 50.59 and Commitment Revision Reports Letter Source: Exelon Tracking No.: Nature of Commitment:

5211-80-3078 "UNDERGROUND PIPE CRACKS IN SEISMIC CATEGORY I PIPING" 1980T0096 The NRC stated in the 2/15/80 SER that GPUN committed to a surveillance program to survey the three thrust blocks north of the Screen House every two weeks following startup. If those measurements indicated less than 1/16/inch drop per month after at least two months, then the surveillance could be-reduced to once per month. Finally, GPUN was to inform the NRC of any significant changes in the surveillance program or if the measured settlement exceeded allowable limits.Summary of Justification:
Commitment Change Evaluation Form 09-10 revised this commitment from"Continuing" to "Historical." This condition has been corrected and the condition has not returned.

This item was taken to historical per Commitment Change Evaluation Form 09-17, dated 8/10/09. The justification for change is as follows: IPE submittals were a one-time effort. Probable Risk Assessment (PRA) is now an integral part of the design change process under Reg. Guide 1.174, and configuration control under 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4).
The IPE has been superseded by current PRA and is used to support the plant for all design related impacts under Reg Guide 1.174. This commitment was established before the NRC ROP was created. Since the establishment of R.G. 1.174 and the use of PRA insights in the ROP process, unique considerations for risk including internal flooding insights are considered when changes to the plant are made, or equipment is taken out of service/or maintained under 10 CFR 50.65.18 2008-2009 Biennial IOCFR 50.59 and Commitment Revision Reports Letter Source: Exelon Tracking No.: Nature of Commitment:
5211-87-3061 "EQUIPMENT CLASSIFICATION" 1983T0132 Component Quality Classification List.Summary of Justification:
Commitment Change Tracking #09-18, dated 9/28/09, changes this commitment to a Historical status. There is no change to the original commitment description.
Commitment Change Tracking Form #09-18 was completed to document that the commitment has been implemented and the status of this commitment should be updated to "Historical" in the TMI Lotus Notes Commitment Tracking Database.The original computerized component classification was included in the GPU General Management System (GMS-2) data base. GMS-2 has since been replaced with the Exelon Plant Information Management System (PIMS). ES-011 has also been replaced.
EP-01 1T currently provides the methodology for maintaining the Component Record List (CRL).Letter Source: Exelon Tracking No.: Nature of Commitment:
5928-05-20269 "RESPONSE TO RAI -BULLETIN 2003-01, "POTENTIAL IMPACT OF DEBRIS BLOCKAGE ON EMERGENCY SUMP RECIRCULATION AT PRESSURIZED-WATER REACTORS" 5928-05-20269.001 In response to Generic Letter 2003-01, TMI Engineering will develop a Technical Support Center (TSC) written guideline that will cover re-injecting additional inventory following a loss of coolant accident.
This will include guidance for injecting more than one Borated Waste Storage Tank (BWST)volume from a refilled BWST and injecting from alternate water sources. (This commitment superseded commitment 5928-05-10223.002)
Summary of Justification:
This commitment is related to a compensatory measure that was put into place in response to NRC Bulletin 2003-01. TMI committed to implementing the TSC written guideline by 10/31/05 (5928-05-20269).
Based on the TMI response to GL 2004-02 on 12/28/07 (5928-07-20246), the compensatory measure is no longer required and status of this commitment should be updated to "Historical" in the CTD. AmerGen/TMI confirmed compliance with the regulatory requirements 19 1 .4,7 -, ,, 2008-2009 Biennial IOCFR 50.59 and Commitment Revision Reports related to Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) and the Containment Spray System (CSS) recirculation functions in the "TMI Unit 1 Supplemental Response to NRC Generic Letter 2004-02" on December 28, 2007. (Letter 5928-07-20246).
The compensatory measure is no longer required.
The TSC guide ER-TM-TSC-0018 will be maintained as an active guide.End of Commitment Revision Report 20}}
