DRAFT RAIs for Fort Calhoun Station Re: UHS Attachments: ME5830 RAIs Email.docx Bill, By letter dated March 4, 2011 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML110680093), Omaha Public Power District (OPPD, the licensee) requested an amendment to the Facility Operating License No. DPR-40 for Fort Calhoun Station, Unit 1. The proposed amendment would establish the limiting condition for operation (LCO) requirements for the ultimate heat sink (UHS) in Technical Specification (TS) 2.16, River Level, and adds two new surveillance requirements (SRs) for UHS level and temperature to TS 3.2, Equipment and Sampling Tests, Table 3-5, Minimum Frequencies for Equipment Tests. Specifically, this proposed change: revises the title of LCO 2.16 from "River Level" to "Ultimate Heat Sink (UHS);" provides more explicit applicability for the LCO 2.16; removes the existing LCOs for river level in TS 2.16, Items 1) and (2); and, reformats TS LCO 2.16 to provide required actions for an inoperable UHS. In addition, two new SRs, Items 25 and 26, will be added to TS 3.2, Table 3-5, to test the river level and temperature on a daily frequency; and for consistency, the columns will be reformatted to allow adding the column header to Table 3-5 for Items 17 through 24. The Table of Contents is also revised to reflect the title change of LCO 2.16. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has reviewed the information provided in your application and determined that additional information is required in order to complete its review. A public teleconference will be scheduled to discuss your responses to the staff's questions.
